1941: They Investigated the Certificate I Engraved for Three Years

In 1941, the baojia office tore up a child's identity certificate in the middle of the street and said, "No papers, no person." Seal carver Zheng Shouzhuo handled the half sheet of paper and recognized it as one issued by the baojia office. He made a new certificate overnight, then asked the patrolmen to verify it in the street the next day. After that, more and more people came to him for forged papers. The enemy changed its verification methods again and again, investigating him for three years, but could never convict him on the basis of a piece of paper. But a document might pass inspection; the marks left by a blade could not fool his fellow craftsmen. The more people Zheng Shouzhuo saved, the more people recognized those hands.
