After Governor Young surrender on the afternoon of December 25, Indian soldiers told Chinese soldiers to take off their uniforms and change into civilian clothes to escape and avoid becoming prisoners of the Japanese army.
Under the instructions of their superiors, Peter and his colleagues rushed to the Dairy Farm in Pok Fu Lam to find a truck to return to their residence.
The Japanese army later arrived in the western district of Hong Kong Island and set up sentry posts in Kennedy Town.
During the Japanese occupation, the supply of daily necessities in Hong Kong became increasingly scarce. He had to sell his clothes and buy food from the black market, and he would also sell the rice he obtained on the black market.
Peter later met an intelligence officer surnamed Liu who worked for the British Army Service Corps. The intelligence officer suggested that he find an opportunity to work at the Admiralty Naval Dockyard in order to assist the British intelligence unit in collecting Japanese intelligence.
So Peter became a repairman at the naval dockyard that had been taken over by the Japanese army, secretly monitoring the movements of Japanese ships and telling the British intelligence officer when these ships returned to the sea.
However, the intelligence officer was later arrested by the Japanese army. When Peter learned of this, fearing that his identity had been exposed, he immediately fled from Hong Kong to Shenzhen to avoid being pursued by the Japanese army.
After crossing the border to Shenzhen, Peter was originally going to Huizhou to contact the local British Army Aid Corps, but he was forcibly conscripted by local troops in Hunan during his journey.
A National Revolutionary Army platoon leader discovered that he had received military training, so he took him to Huizhou to meet the British Army Aid Corps.
However, when they arrived in Huizhou, the officer of the British Army Aid Corps had just been transferred to Chongqing, so he had no choice but to join the National Revolutionary Army's Independent 9th Brigade.
After the Japanese surrender, he bid farewell to his National Revolutionary Army unit and returned to his hometown of Hong Kong.
