St Stephen ' s College Preparatory School , Chan , Ryan – 9

W ar . Have you ever been in a war ? Let me tell you a story … It all started in Russia , when an upper – middle class kid named Peter Galygin , and his wealthy parents lived in a mansion . One day , Peter ’ s parents found out that there was a bomb near their house , placed by terrorists . They were terrified to hear the news . Then they sent Peter to Shanghai , to be safe .

After a few years in China , Peter lived with another Russian adult named Sylvester . Sylvester treated Peter like a son , loving him and looking after him . One peaceful day , a loud “ boom ” shook the whole city , as startled people started panicking and running around everywhere . The Japanese were invading ! As the bombs fell , lives were lost , houses were broken , and it was a terrifying scene .
Peter thought ,” I must try to help China !”
He was determined to intrude the Japanese base , on an island near to the Bund . Even though he was nervous , he knew he could do this . The next day , Peter went on a boat to the island , with the Japanese base on it . He sneaked through the gates , then continued creeping into the doors , but some soldiers saw Peter . Then the soldiers started to chase him back to the city streets , but Peter was too fast for the soldiers to catch . Soon , the whole Japanese military was chasing Peter through the streets of busy Shanghai .
Meanwhile in the Chinese military base , the soldiers were planning a secret attack on the empty Japanese base and steal all of their food , resources , and weapons , then bombarding the base . Soon , their plan was set to attack the Japanese base . They started to drive their boats and planes to the empty Japanese base , with Chinese soldiers running in and out , stealing all the weapons , food and resources from the Japanese base . After stealing everything , the planes and boats started to destroy the base , dropping bombs and shooting bullets .
At last ! The Japanese base was destroyed , and Shanghai ’ s citizens didn ’ t have to worry anymore ! The Japanese military could not chase Peter anymore , so they decided to return to their own base shocked to see that it was destroyed ! With no weapons and resources to use , the Japanese had no choice but to fight the Chinese military with their handguns stored in their pockets .
The big battle then began , with the Chinese winning most of the battle . And at last ! The Chinese killed all of the Japanese . Back to Peter because he won an honor award for helping the Chinese .
Shanghai is now a peaceful and safe city , with respectful merchants trading everywhere and adorable children playing and dancing on the streets . Without war , the world could be a joyful , peaceful and fun place forever .
