One day, the Japanese soldiers appeared and made their school a detention center. Everything was claimed as property of the Emperor. Shortly after that there were trucked to an internment camp, "Weihsien" where she and all of her classmates where held for the next 5 years.
The teachers that were in the school came with them and continued their education in academics as well as social behaviors.
One day they heard the sound of an airplane flying very low. The airplane had US markings. And they saw men jumping out of the plane and knew that they were finally being rescued. She was then able to reunite with her famliy and she met a new brother that had been born while she was in the other camp.
Many year after, Mary decided to contact each member of the team that have rescued her from the camp and personally tell them her story and give thoise heroes and personal thank you.
She was able to contact all but 2 of the men, including the translator who is still living in China.
