Dr. Sadao – a surgeon and scientist

Dr Sadao Hoki, a Japanese surgeon and scientist, lived with his wife Hana and two
children on the Japanese sea-coast. His house was located on the sea-coast where
he had spent his childhood. He was greatly influenced by his father whose chief
concern was Sadao’s education. At the age of twenty-two, he was sent to America
to study surgery and medicine. Sadao too, as an obedient son, fulfilled his father’s
wishes and came back a famous surgeon and scientist to serve his nation and
people.
Although there was a war going on, he was not sent abroad with the troops for two
reasons – he was perfecting a discovery on wounds and the old General might need
him for an operation.

Hana – a dedicated wife

With his father’s consent, Dr. Sadao had a love marriage with Hana whom he met in
America. They now had two children. Hana was a devoted wife and a sympathetic
woman. She kept the household in order and cared for every member under its roof.

A wounded ‘white enemy’

Once while the couple was enjoying the mist at dusk on their porch, they noticed
some movement near the sea. A man ‘flung’ out of the ocean, walked few steps and
then fell unconscious. He was badly injured. They discover that the white man was
an escaped prisoner of war, a sailor from an American warship. He had lost lot of
blood due a gun wound and a rock injury.
The couple knew that they would be termed treacherous if they did not inform the
police or the army about it, which would eventually kill the man. But, they could not

treating the dying man on humanitarian grounds before deciding his fate.

Saving the ‘white enemy’

So, the unconscious American was brought home. The couple apprised their
servants of their intention of handing the man over to the police after treatment. But
the servants didn’t approve of it and remained skeptical of their masters’ intention,
yet they kept their silence. When the nanny of the Hoki children, Yumi, refused to
wash the American, Hana had to do the job herself. Prompted by the doctor in him,
Sadao performed a difficult operation and removed the bullet efficiently. Hana
helped her husband in whatever way she could. She herself took every possible
care of the American, even fed him with her own hands.
Under Hana’s care and the expert medical administration of Dr. Sadao, the young
American recuperated but remained tensed about his future.

Servants’ rebel
The Hoki family was constantly pressurized by the servants to disclose the secret
and get the American caught by the police. Their displeasure at their master’s
decision made them decide to leave his household. Hana bears all this gracefully.
In the due course of treating the prisoner, Sadao planned to inform the police about
the whereabouts of the prisoner but somehow could not execute his plan. He leaves
an unfinished letter to the Chief of Police in his drawer.

Hana’s dilemma
Hana was not able to understand why she and her husband were in a dilemma
about their next step concerning the fate of the prisoner. When she saw a
messenger in an official uniform at her doorstep, she got scared that one of the
servants might have informed the police. But the messenger came only to inform Dr
Sadao that the General was in pain and wants to see him immediately. Realising
Hana’s situation, Sadao decided to do something about the soldier.

Dr Sadao discloses the secret to the General

Tensed and tired of hiding the enemy, Dr. Sadao revealed the secret to the general
when he was summoned to his house for medical help. Looking at his present
health conditions, General realised that he might need Sadao’s surgical expertise at
any point of time and is selfish enough to not to let Sadao get into any trouble. He
assured Sadao that he would send his personal assassins to kill the American
soldier and remove his body from Sadao’s house.
Dr Sadao did not reveal the secret of assassins to Hana. For two nights, he
remained uneasy and could not sleep soundly. However, every morning when he
woke up, he found Tom alive and this made him more uneasy.

A Japanese surgeon, Sadao, Studied in America and married a Japanese girl,

Hana. Sadao was wanted by the old general who was dying and was asked to stay
at home while other doctors were sent to the Japanese army during world war 2.
Thereof, one night an American Navy man who is wounded came into Sadao's life.
Sadao though unwilling to help the American man he took him to his house and
provided him with the medical assistance. Sadao was in danger and thus his
servants left him. As the day passes the health of the American soldiers improve
and thus Sadao conspires to kill him during his sleep. As he informed the General of
the American, he was promised to receive his private men to kill that soldier. Sadao
awaits for his death and his danger increases. At some point later, Sadao
understands the value of brotherhood and human life and he begins to think beyond
races, wars, and continents. Therefore, Sadao not thinking him to be his enemy
helps the American soldier to rescue. Hence, Sadao acts more in a humanitarian
way and rises above all prejudices.
