Ha ha! I know this guy! He was a little more candid with Andy than me -- check it out here:
Selling out historyBy Hao Ying
Jiao Zhibin says he outfoxed Japanese invaders during World War II. He's outfoxing strangers visiting his village, Jiao Zhuanghu, to this day.
Jiao, 77, stands outside the Under-ground Tunnel War Remains Mu-seum costumed like the Communist soldiers of the time - baggy gray pants and a white tunic with grenades and a canteen slung over his shoulder.
He carries a wooden spear - like the one he used to kill enemy forces, he explained to a visitor to the tun-nels. He was too young to carry a gun, he says. For a 10-yuan fee ($1.5), he agrees to pose for a photo, proudly jutting the steel-tipped weapon fes-tooned with a red tassel in the air like a triumphant god of war.
But when it came time to sit down with a journalist for a formal inter-view, Jiao's story changed.
Although he told the visitor outside the museum he helped build the tunnels, he denied this in the inter-view, saying he was too young to be involved.
He also denied that he fought the Japanese at all, let alone killed anyone.
However, he proudly said that Japanese soldiers would offer him candy and ask him if there were Com-munists in the village.
"We tricked them by saying there were Communists in the village be-fore, but they had gone already."
