Railway enthusiast and radio buff, Lomax, was imprisoned by the Japanese in 1942. The experience devastated him. Almost 50 years after the war, however, he discovered that his interrogator, the Japanese interpreter, was still alive — their reconciliation is the culmination of this extraordinary story.

埃里克•洛马克斯 | Eric Lomax 1919年生于苏格兰。“二战”期间从军参战，远赴马来半岛。1942年2月，由于驻防新加坡的英军向日军投降，洛马克斯沦为战俘，被迫充当修建铁路的劳工，饱尝酷刑。20世纪90年代，洛马克斯与当年参与折磨自己的日军老兵永濑武志取得联系，故地重逢。面对真诚致歉和忏悔的永濑武志，洛马克斯大度地予以宽恕。2012年，九十高龄的洛马克斯安详离世。
