My Family's History

While we were eating breakfast, my mother told me some true stories about my mother's father's father, in other words, my great grandfather.

My great grandfather owned a restaurant, was a trader and was a firework expert.

Before the war, they bought a 150kg packet of rice to survive the war.

Unfortunately, he was caught by the Japanese soldiers and suffered alot.

But the Japanese heard that he was a firework expert and asked him to build an explosive, but my great grandfather refused.

After much discussion, the Japanese soldiers asked him to built a tiny explosive to deflate a tyre.

My great grandfather had no choice but to call all his workers to help make this explosive.

This was a good thing too, because after this collaboration, my great grandfather had great relationship with the Japanese soldiers and did not suffer alot.
