Japanese blue jackets, who occuipied the Liehyu Islet "to the west. of the Quemoy Island on October 28, have been withdrawn, but those who landed on the Quemoy Island, numbering more than 1,000, and all belonging to Manchoukuo and Formosan armies, are still there.

Across the outer Amoy harbor from Kin Men is the island named Liehyu. Enemy batteries from Amoy can rake all sections of the island. In order to reach the most advance lookout posts, I had to crawl to avoid being seen by machine gunners across the waters. The Liehyu church is a lovely brick building with a white spire. But a direct hit by Communist artillery had removed the roof and gutted the interior. The Christians in Liehyu are few in number—between fifty and one hundred, the commanding general told me. They must worship in their homes now; they have no regular pastor.

Based on these data, a five-year filariasis control project was organized in 1972 to cover the Kinmen Islands, and a detailed report was published by FAN et al. (1974a). In the present survey, a total of 20,018 persons in 55 villages of four townships were examined, and microfilariae were found in 1,764 (8.8%); clinical manifestations were found in 282 (19.2%) of 1,470 persons examined. The microfilarial rates according to the townships were 10.9% (1,038 positives out of 9,522 persons examined) in Kinnin, 7.5% (104 of 1 ,385) in Kincheng, 6.1 % (482 of 7,843) in Kinhu, and 11.0 % (140 of 1,268) in Liehyu.

Since bancroftian filariasis constituted a major public health problem on Little Kinmen (Liehyu District), Kinmen (Quemoy) Islands, a control programme was conducted on this island from 1970 to 1982.

He first visited the Liehyu offshore islands by boat; met with soldiers and villagers there; heard a briefing by Hung Wan-chung, the village magistrate, on the administration of the village; visited the Field Battle History Museum and an observation post to watch the movement of communist troops on the opposite side of the Taiwan Strait; and heard reports on combat troop readiness. Li also inspected a psychological warfare unit at Huchingtou, Liehyu, where he saw off a balloon carrying materials showing the free bastion of Taiwan's warm support for the pro-democracy movement on the China mainland.
