Het overkwam de scheutist Gaspard Schotte (1907-1980). Hij werd in maart 1943 geïnterneerd in het Japanse strafkamp van Weihsien en een half jaar later met zijn mede paters, broeders en nonnen overgebracht naar Peking waar ze verbleven tot aan de bevrijding van 15 augustus 1945. Captives of Empire (https://captives-of-empire.com/) vermeldt:

"Approximately 500 Catholic fathers and nuns were collected from outlying areas of North China and originally interned in Weihsien. In August, 1943, the Japanse agreed to a proposal put forth by the Apostolic Delegate in Peking, Archbishop Zanin, that these internees be allowed to reside in religious houses in Peking.

They were transferred to nine different segregation centers for missionaries. Maison du Sacre Coeur, off Morrison Street, housed 29 nuns, while the remainder of the houses, in the Tartar City, were Christ the King Convent (77 women and another 25 in the annex), Franciscan House (96 men), Peitang Ming Tao Yuan (41 men), the Catholic Orphanage (3 nuns), Maison Chabenel (96 men), Scheut Mission (64 men), and the Fu Jen Girls' School (7 nuns)”.

But ....

“Oddly enough, the internees were under more restrictive rules in these houses than when they were interned in Weihsien."
