Question

How did sadao help the enemy soldier to escape from japan?

Answer 1

Sadao helped the American soldier for two reasons. Firstly, he had been morally
bound by the Hippocratic oath to treat any patient irrespective of their
nationality, colour, creed, or religion. Secondly, he had spent eight years of
his years learning medicine at America. He had a soft corner in his heart for a
man who belonged to the country where he had learnt so much; he owed meeting
Hana, his wife and love, to America. So the above mentioned two points impelled
Dr. Sadao to treat the American prisoner of war.

 

He took lots
of risk in helping the American soldier escape. He put his own and his families
life at risk. When the General’s plan of disposing of the POW did not happen, Sadao
decided to help the POW escape to a safe island. He gave him a boat, provisions
for a few days, and a torch for indicating for further help, in case he needed.
He instructed him to get on to a Korean boat and then to an American base.
