In the spring of 1946, on the eve of the ceasefire, eight prisoners of war were brutally killed during a horrifying “experimental surgery” at the medical school of Titan Empire University.
Bai Qiao, then an associate professor of surgery, had refused to take part in the “live experiments.” Yet at the postwar trial, he was sentenced to death as one of the chief culprits. Tormented by despair, Bai Qiao eventually had no choice but to accept his fate.
But just then, his wife, Shen Yiwei, overcame every obstacle to petition for a retrial, ultimately winning him a reduced sentence.
