Why was Dr. Sadao not sent to the battlefield?

Sadao was a famous surgeon and scientist. He had mastered the art of healing wounds. The old General of Japan had full faith in his abilities as a surgeon. He did not believe any other doctor. He was not keeping good health and could require a surgery any time, so Sadao was not sent with the troops abroad.

Dr. Sadao was a man of considerate nature. He had given lease of life to the wounded enemy soldier at the risk of his life. Instead of killing him after treatment, Dr. Sadao arranged for a boat, food and clothing to send the enemy back to the nearby island. The man took the Korean Boat and escaped to freedom.

Sadao’s father was an ambitious person. He wanted to make his son only a famous doctor. Therefore, he sent Sadao to America to attain higher education. Sadao mastered the art of healing wounds. Sadao came to his father’s expectations when he became a successful surgeon and a famous scientist.

Sadao’s father had great expectations from his only son. He wanted to see him successful in his life. He never played or joked with his son. Sadao’s education was the main concern of his father. His father sent him to America to study medicine and surgery. He was very ambitious about Sadao’s future as well as about Japan’s future.

Sadao and Hana met at an American Professor’s house. They fell in love but he did not marry her till they had finished their studies. When they returned back, Sadao’s father confirmed that the girl was of pure Japanese race. After this he consented and both were married according to their customs.
