On December 7, 1941, after Japan's successful attack on Pearl Harbor, it immediately began to attack the European and American forces in Asia. At 5 a.m. on December 8, 1941, the Japanese naval fleet stationed at Shanghai Beach issued an ultimatum to the British gunboat USS Peter and the American gunboat USS Weil anchored on the banks of the Huangpu River, ordering them to surrender unconditionally.

The American gunboat Vail surrendered to Japan, and the British gunboat Pedelier returned fire. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the British gunboat Pedelier was sunk by the Japanese fleet. Subsequently, the Japanese drove the armored car into the Shanghai Tang concession. The concession that the Europeans had maintained here for nearly a hundred years disappeared. An era has come to an end.

At the same time, the Japanese also launched an attack on Hong Kong. Subsequently, on 10 December, the British battleship Prince of Wales and the heavy cruiser anchored near Hong Kong Island were sunk by the Japanese. These two battleships were the main battleships that the British had placed in the Pacific Ocean. The sinking of these two warships caused the British heavy losses, not only to protect Hong Kong, but also to lose control over Southeast Asia.

Hong Kong Island itself, on the other hand, does not have too strong a defensive capability. The Japanese shelled Hong Kong, and a few days later, Hong Kong fell. However, after the fall, it was not the British or the Americans who were most unlucky. The Japanese set up concentration camps for these Europeans and Americans. Although the treatment is not good, it can still survive if it is good.

The most unfortunate are the Chinese, who make up the vast majority of Hong Kong's population. Although its experience was not as tragic as Nanjing's, it was also a heavy number of casualties. Families are ruined, and countless wives are separated!

After Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi rescued Americans in Hawaii, they were not immediately recognized by the Americans. Here's why - both of them are yellow-skinned! They all look similar to the Japanese!

At this time, the status of Chinese in the international community is really not high. Moreover, the United States is also a country with a Chinese Exclusion Act. Therefore, the attitude of Americans towards Chinese in this era is sometimes not even contemptuous, but can only be regarded as ignorance. This concept can even be carried over to later generations, who will listen to the chats of classmates who have returned from the United States for the rest of their lives, and often talk about the example of being considered Japanese by the American people.

And in Hawaii, except for Chinese and Japanese workers, there are few people who are yellow-skinned. Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi are two of the few people who have recently landed on the island and are yellow-skinned. Naturally, they will be interrogated and interrogated. However, because there are too many American GIs and nurses who witnessed Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi's treatment of the American wounded. Therefore, the commissioner of the FBI who interrogated the two of them separately was quite polite.

It's just that there is one thing that makes Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi cry and laugh. The two of them told the truth, but the FBI commissioner in charge of the interrogation didn't believe it at all. After all, documents and identities in this era are too easy to forge.

"You say you're the director of "The Great Wall Never Falls" and "Havoc in Heaven"? How is this possible? Who can give you proof? ”

"You say your husband is the director of "The Great Wall Never Falls" and "Havoc in Heaven"? Filmed "Shanghai Tang"? Do you still know Hemingway and Warner Albert? Do you know that these lies you make up are actually easy to debunk? ”

"Actually, we are very grateful for your help to the Americans, but can you tell me who you really are? As long as you are not a Japanese spy or a member of the Japanese military, even if you are a member of the Japanese Imperial Family, we will give you the highest treatment in accordance with the Geneva Conventions! ”

"Singing "The Great Wall Never Falls" twice doesn't prove anything! This movie is so popular that as long as it is Chinese in the United States, it will be sung. As a pure American, I am almost learning Chinese because I have listened to this song so many times! ”

"You say these people can prove it? All right! We'll get in touch with Grham and Hemingway, George on the board of directors of Westinghouse, and Mr. Albert Warner at Warner. However, until we can confirm your identity, you need to stay in your place quietly and not leave! ”

Such interrogation lasted only two hours, and Yu Sheng took Qing Xiaoyi back to the residence he bought in Honolulu. Then let the suspicious FBI officers contact Albert and them. I have to say that the Americans are still quite serious in this regard. However, for the rest of his life, he has a clear conscience, but he is not afraid of these old beauties.

However, although Lao Mei put the rest of her life and Qing Xiaoyi home. But it is inevitable to send people to monitor one or two. Then the person who watched watched Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi laughing and laughing, and they didn't know what Yu Sheng said, Qing Xiaoyi was either happy or angry when she heard it, or she was coquettish, and she was always emotional. Whether playing cards or chess, it will continue until more than 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and will not fall asleep until it is tired, and will not get up until the next day.

The hieroglyphic Chinese language is even more incomprehensible to these old beauties than the Martian script. After finding someone to translate, I found out that all the jokes I told Qing Xiaoyi for the rest of my life were jokes, such as "Once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple on the mountain, and there was an old monk in the temple, and there was a little nun ......" and so on.

Look at the FBI agents in charge of surveillance, full of black lines. However, I gradually understood in my heart that these two were probably not Japanese spies. Sure enough, it only took three days, and the few acquaintances mentioned by Yu Sheng proved that Yu Sheng was Yu Sheng, and the Americans also collected photos of Yu Sheng participating in various activities in Shanghai Tang. Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi regained their freedom and received a telegram from Albert Warner from the United States.

"I heard you made a great documentary! Come and screen in the United States! ”

When FBI agents interrogated Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi, they naturally did not leave to check their personal belongings. As a result, nothing was found, except for a few reels of film that had not yet been washed.

Yu Sheng said to the FBI agents: "These films, except for some of the films that record how you American girls learn hula, the rest are all about how the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor." This is what I photographed at the risk of hiding in the bushes. There are only a few reels of film in the world. If you take the liberty of destroying it, the most complete footage of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor will disappear, and you will become the sinners of the United States! ”

Several people from the FBI were very unhappy with these few words, but they did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the FBI headquarters the video materials recorded by the Japanese for the rest of their lives in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Then, a few reels of film were processed and printed by professionals overnight.
