branch at Tientsin was Ching Sik-kang, a Traitor of Han,
who was, in fact, an "executioner" in the employ of the
enemy. Since we decided to engage ourselves in weeding
the country of traitors, we considered that the duty, which
would be most fitting for us as (Chinese) citizens to strive
to perform, was to punish the said traitor of Han.
Consequently, beginning from February this year
we had been discussing plans secretly as regards how we

o'clock show we noticed his private car No.1657 parked on
the bund to the right of the theatre. We immediately went
home and after making preparations we bought our tickets
and entered the theatre. It was 20 minutes after the show had
