| The turning point comes on Feb. 20, 1974, when Hiroo Onoda met Japanese explorer Norio Suzuki who had ventured out to the Lubang Island in pursuit of Onoda. Suzuki told Onoda that Japan had surrendered and the war had been over for a long time. Onoda still refused to surrender, saying he wouldn’t give up until he saw with his own eyes the written order of his commander. He also said he would hand over his well-kept sword to the Emperor of Japan himself. Suzuki promised to deliver the commander’s order to Onoda. [File photo] |
