After narrowly avoiding detection when his sampan is stopped by a Japanese patrol boat, Dr. Li Shu-fan arrives in Free China:

So we waited till dawn . When we stepped onto the beach at last, I stretched my arms upwards and wide and took a deep breath of the free air of China. It was Sunday morning, August 1, 1943 - the day I was to have been sworn in as president of the Sino-Japanese Medical Association, and thus as a collaborationist of the Japanese.
