Where the fighting between Chinese and Japanese troops was at its height a year ago—near Taitsang, some thirty miles north of Shanghai—a coolie employed by a Shanghai removal company was seriously shot in the back on Wednesday, it was learned here yesterday when the man was admitted to a local hospital.
Sung Vu-tsai, the coolie, was riding on atop of a van-load of goods bound for Shanghai when Chinese guerillas engaged Japanese troops near Taitsang. Shots were flying thick and fast, and a stray bullet found its mark in Sung's back.
The coolie was brought to the Paulun Hospital here and was subsequently transferred to the Lester Chinese Hospital He is expected to recover after a long sojourn in hospital.
