The article discusses the siege of the British soldiers at Repulse Bay Hotel in Hong Kong, China in 1943. The Japanese torture the British soldiers through the ties that they made on the captives. On Christmas Eve, the captives marched crossing Hong Kong Island to the Victoria Harbor side. The Kowloon Hotel became their prison for a month. Food was their main problem during their stay in the hotel.
