The story ends on liberation day in 1949 in Chongqing, when the People's Liberation Army and local people took control of the city.
Several KMT prisons were supervised by the Sino-American Cooperation Organization, or SACO, which was established secretly in 1943. The United States used it to train and dispatch KMT agents.
On Nov 27, 1949, about two months after Mao Zedong declared the founding of the People's Republic of China on the Tian'anmen Rostrum, SACO agents set fire to the male prison wards at the Zhazidong prison, killing all but 15 who managed to break through a section of wall.
