This is a high-level escape plan that uses the most unexpected methods. The guards brought the prisoners food. The woman looked at the spoon in the food and immediately thought of a way to escape. When the guards left, Fu Yuen dug into the wall with her spoon. She was confident. It took a lot of work, but she managed to dig her tunnel through the wall. To avoid being discovered by the guards, she tore the paper from the book and soaked it in water, then covered the paper with dirt from the wall so that the paper was the same color as the wall. Then she covered the hole with the paper to make the camouflage. This prison was built in a location surrounded by water all year round. To gain more time to dig the wall, she asked the guards to cancel the exercise in the playground under the pretext of reading in her cell. This way, she was able to speed up the digging process. Fu Yuen collected soup from the meals and spread it evenly over the holes. The salt in the soup would corrode the walls, making the soil easier to dig. She followed this method and dug a 60m long tunnel in 6 months. Everything was ready.
