　　飞虎队老兵都像对待自己亲生的女儿一样对待施维君施大姐，并常邀请她到美国做客。在他们给施大姐的许多来信中，我看到了这样一封信。

　　施大姐在一年多的时间里，发出了上百封信，费尽周折终于在湖南宁乡县找到了齐学启将军80多岁的妹妹齐新。

　　约翰·Ｗ·博伊德（John W. Boyd）先生给施维君的信（译文）。

　　亲爱的先生：

　　我是一个第二次世界大战被日本人关押在缅甸仰光21个月的战俘。我正在写一本有关中缅印战区和仰光战俘营的书。这里的战俘都是美国人、英国人、中国人和印度人。

　　这里的战俘营里有许多高尚的人，其中一位就是中国少将齐学启（H.C.Chi）。他是1942年上旬在缅甸战役中指挥一个师作战时不幸被俘的。后来他曾驾驶一条小船渡河逃走，但是他被对岸敌人机枪击中负伤，在这次越狱行动中，只有将军和一个士兵是幸存者。

　　齐将军原在美国和日本接受教育，他的英语有一点口音。他可以用英语和日语阅读、书写和与人交流。他是战俘营所有各国战俘的灵魂人物。

　　日本人要齐将军保证今后不再越狱，同时企图要他在电台上做叛国宣传。齐将军平静而断然地拒绝了。后来the Kempei Tei（？？）也来威胁他；长时间不给他食物，最后甚至断水。面对这一切，齐将军一直保持平静和自信。在监狱里，难友们都传说齐将军和蒋介石将军有特殊关系；说蒋将军的前妻和齐将军的妻子是亲姐妹，她们都姓普（Po）。

　　有一次，日本人的傀儡--南京汪精卫政府派员拜访齐将军。他们的目的是希望齐将军站到他们一边。有难友说亲眼看见一个南京高级官员来找齐将军。他们把他带到外面一个城市里，请齐将军洗澡并用上等菜肴款待他，然后和他谈话。

　　他们说他们来是为了请齐将军加入在"仁慈的"日本人领导下的中国新政府。要求齐将军签署一个协议，他就自由了。将军淡淡地拒绝了。有意思的是将军在拒绝之前很客气地说感谢他们的来访和这些酒菜。这时那些来访者挂在脸上的微笑慢慢地变成了恼怒。将军脸上至始至终保持着轻蔑的笑容，表明他在观赏这场闹剧中得到了很大的享受。从那以后，将军就遭受到无数次毒刑拷打。

　　不久一个晚上，将军被他手下的一个士兵刺伤了。这个士兵被南京傀儡政权收买成了叛徒。在战俘们的强烈抗议下，日本人最后同意由麦肯齐(Mackenzie)中校军医为齐将军进行手术，试图挽救齐将军的生命。但是，齐将军还是在36个小时后牺牲了。

　　在我的回忆录中将更加详细地描述这位不同寻常的人，我的书将在1996年6月或者7月出版。我希望找到齐将军的亲属，告诉他们这位中国军人是怎样的一个人。齐将军有着令人着迷的魅力和至始至终为自己的祖国效力的精神。他谦虚的品格和流畅幽雅的英文风格表现在当年他给英国陆军准将霍布森（Hobson）的一封信中。这封信是齐将军对Ｂ·Ｎ·萨达（B.N. Sudan）上尉和其他几位印度军医为他看病所表示的感谢。这封信的复印件也附录在我的书中。

　　如果有人愿意将这封信的复印件提供给中国报纸或者是给齐将军的亲属，让人们知道他对仰光战俘营的所有难友的所作所为我是非常感激的。

　　Dear Sir,

　　I was a Japanese prisoner of war held in Rangoon, Burma for 21 months during World War II. I am writing a book about the China, Burma, India theater of war and the Rangoon Prison Camp. The prisoners were American, British, Chinese and Indian.

　　One of the great men in this camp was Chinese Major General H. C. Chini. He was captured while commanding a division in the early part of 1942. He had tried to avaid being taken prisoner by taking a boat and tried to move north up a river. He was machinegunned from the bank, the general and only one other soldier were the only survivior.

　　General Chi was educated in America and Japan and he spoke with a slight American accent. He could read, write, and speak both English and Japanese, and was an inspiration to all nationality in the prison camp.

　　The Japanese tried to get General Chi to sign a certificate that he would not escape and be willing to broadcast propaganda. Cheerful he would flatly refuse and was visited by the Kempei Tei, starved for long periods, and even denied water, and through all this he was always calm and confident. For in prison it was believed that General Chi was in some way related to General Chiang Kai-shek. The rumor was that General Chiang's first wife and General Chi's wife were sisters and their maiden name was Po.

　　General Chi had a visit from the Japanese puppet government under Wang-Ching-Wei at Nanking, China. This in an attempt to get General Chi on their side. They said it was horrified, to see a senior officer and fellow countryman in a criminal jail. They took him out to the city for a bath, fine meal and talk. Then the leader of the delegation began to talk about the reason for their visit. He said they had come to take him back to the new government of China under the benevolent Japanese. He would be required to sign a statement of his good intentions and then he would be a free man. General Chi politely refused, but said that he enjoyed the visit and the meal. The original smiles of the visitors turned to hate. However, the mischievous smile on the Generals face showed that he had enjoyed the episode. Soon afterwards he was again put in solitary and tortured.

　　It was not long after this that General Chi was stabbed one night by 0ne of his own soldiers, whose alegiance had been turned by the representatives of the puppet Nanking Government. The Japanese did permit Col. Mackenzie to operate in an attempt to save General Chi's life. However, the General died 36 hours after the surgery.

　　I will have a lot more to say about this great man in my book which will be out in June or July 1996. I would like very much to locatesome member of General Chi's family to let them know what a fine Chinese officer he was. General Chi had charming manners and served his country long and faithful. Both his manners and his excellent command of the English language can be seen in a letter which he sent to the English Brigadier General Hobson in appreciation of the services of Captain B.N. Sudan and the other Indian medical officers. A copy of this letter will be in my book.

　　I will greatly appreciate anyone giving a copy of this letter to the Tiawin news paper or to anyone else that could help locate the Chi family to let them know some of the good things he did for all the nationalities in the Rangoon Prison Camp.

　　Sincerely yours

　　John W. Boyd
