Elizabeth Choy is a war heroine in Singapore during World War II. Although she was imprisoned for about two hundred days during the war,she refused to give the Japanese any information.The Japanese even electrocuted her. Miraculously,she survived . Knowing that they would not get any information from her,they set her free.She died at the age of ninety-five,as a result of panceratic cancer.
I respect Elizabeth Choy for what she has done for Singapore.She was even willing to go through torture for her country.Another thing that I admire about Elizabeth Choy is when she did not want to reveal the name of the japanese soldier who had tortured her. Instead,she blamed the war saying that the japanese soldier was just carrying out orders.
Elizabeth Choy is indeed a war heroine.
