From the Land of Bitter Tears

Liu-Ming's father died in 1995 in an accidental explosion of a bombshell left by the Japanese Imperial Army in WWII. The debt left by his father's unsuccessful medical treatments left the teenage Liu-Ming no choice but to drop out of high school to work. Li Quan was a victim of the Japanese military's poison gas when he touched a mysterious container while working on a ship at the age of 29. Blisters covered his body and his genitals and internal organs were injured. Still suffering from serious aftereffects, he has fallen to a life of extreme poverty and twice attempted suicide. New accidents keep occurring. Sixty years have passed since the end of the war, but many potent weapons remain buried deep in China.
