Qinghai Tibet Railway - The escape - Part 2

As we were in our prisons, in the cold mountains of China. Waiting to be executed, we met Shang his help. As he stated on the Sunday, before he would attempt to shoot down the leader of China. He tried, the bullet did hit Sun Yat-sen, but it didn't kill him. On our daily routine, we got some rice and some chores inside the prison. My brother had to clean the shower area, dining area and what not. And I, I had to prepare food for all the other political prisoners. A long time went by, we found out the prison is called "Kunlun". At this time, no one believed this prison did exist. No one ever tried to reveal the myth behind the Kunlun Prison. Due it's rough terrain, no one would attempt. And therefore, making it almost impossible to escape. But we, my brother, his friends & I had others idea's. The guards most enter our the prison somehow, wouldn't they? That's how we start to work for an escape, with the idea to be executed anywhere soon. My brother and I started to observe guards, they routines and personal details. It was mid May, 1927, one of the guards called our whole family together. The guard told us about the recent change in our sentence. We weren't going to be executed, we would be put to work camps. We would be working in Chinese mines. According to rumors, everyone has to work there, even children. My parents were old, I knew they wouldn't make it. So in a last attempt, to stay here with my family, I killed a guard. I snapped his neck. One easy movement, to be remember for always. With this happening, I wish they'd let us stay here, in Kunlun Prison. It did, my action made us stay here in Kunlun Prison for another month. Another month to find out how we would get out of this hell. My brother managed to get a drug, that could easily put down a guard for a couple hours. We drugged a guard, which had his keys. We quickly made a copy of his keys, and hit his head a couple times against the floor, to make it seem he tripped. With that being done, we had clear access to our area. Our area had 6 cells, all controlled with the same keys. We managed to sneak out at night, when we had all the time to find ourselves an exit out of this hell. After a couple of nights, we found our way out of here. We heard a guard, talk with another guard how shitty the entrance road is. Know we knew how the guards would enter this prison. We only needed to complete one more thing, take over the prison. My brother had a couple of friends here, in Kunlun Prison. We managed to get them on board, in our attempt to get out of this hell. It was dining time, all inmates came together in a large room to have dinner. My brother and I took out two guards, his friends took out another two. The guards in Kunlun Prison always had a gun with them to protect themselves. Now, we had four people with a gun and keys to get us out of this hell. We went on, only to find out, the prison has been built inside the mountain. We had to fight our way out of the mountain. As we fought our way through the prison, loads of inmates followed us. Not only Chinese residents, but foreign people as well. We managed to make it to an elevator, not knowing where we could end up. As we walked out of the elevator, we found out, our prison wasn't only a prison. It was a gun warehouse, it was filled with rifles, rockets, explosives and what not. We took this, of course, to our advantage, to fight our way out. As all the other inmates were out of the hell, down there. We gave everyone a gun, saying: "If you don't shoot, just pull the trigger while aiming to your enemy." By this time, the prison has launched a massive counter attack, not knowing that we already made it up towards the gun warehouse. We outnumbered them, it was a blood bath. Never again. At least we made it out of Kunlun Prison. Once we were outside, we had a long way down. There were no vehicles, horses. We had to walk to the nearest village. Which we did, we got loads of food and water. All the other inmates went their own way, but we, my family and I, we stayed together. My sister was very familiar with the region, she knew someone who could give us shelter. On we went, to my sister her friend. We walked for several hours to get there. The guy we met there, was really nice, he gave us shelter and some new and fresh clothing.
