| "I wasn't in any political group back then. A lot of my school mates were passionate. Some of them joined Sanqingtuan (Youth League of the Three People's Principles) of the Kuomintang, some were more into the democratic parties. There were some who joined the Communist Party, although, of course, they did it discreetly. However, everybody knew at least something about it. I, on the other hand, didn't think myself good enough to deal with political activities. I didn't know whether the things they were preaching were real or not, trustworthy or not. That's why I didn't join any of the groups. Some of my close friends picked their own group. We still got along pretty well in life, but there used to be leftists and rightists, so conflicts and quarrels were inevitable. Of course when it came to resisting the Japanese invasion, not a single person would disagree." The photo of Mr. He when he was young is included in his memoir Going to School.
