were able to gather up ten whole truckfulls of potatoes . One night , they put their plan into action . A hundred prisoners fought the guards off while the other hundred climbed out of the cells in Camp Torture . The plan went on for months !
Every single one of the prisoners managed to escape . They began their journey out of the ugly scene of battle . They narrowly escaped hundreds of bombs and , in the end , Meila found her brothersand father . Together , they all settled in a village far away from Shanghai . It had been a long and hard journey . A journey of trial and tribulations . A journey of self-determination to survive , and to overcome all the odds . A journey that Meila and her family would never forget .
