With such an experience, the colonialism and the cruelty of the Pacific War can be comprehended through some of his works, especially in《Return Alive》, which has more specific details about the Pacific War in the writing. Chen Chien Wu emphasized that 《Return Alive》was his life story, which was real in most of the book and also fiction in it. He tried to reveal how much damage and harm Japan had brought about in the Pacific War in《Return Alive》and talked more about the issues of anti-war and anti-colonialism.
