They tortured him all night to get the list of names of Taiwanese elites and students. He never gave in. His ribs were broken, and his fingers were swollen. After they put a sign on his back and tied his arms to his back, they took him to parade in the street. Before execution, the soldiers kicked him and forced him to kneel down. He refused.
