In “The man I Met in the Lock Up,” a reporter meets a jovial man named Count Wang in a lock up at a police station in Tokyo. Rumored to be the son of a count, Count Wang one day reveals to the reporter that he is an anarchist. Years later, the reporter happens upon Count Wang in a northbound train filled with people leaving Joseon for Manchuria and refugees fleeing the snowstorm. The drunk Count Wang acts very bizarrely and then lies unconscious on the floor of the train car. When the train pulls into Jeonju station where the reporter must transfer to a different train, the reporter is torn between getting off the train and saving Count Wang from the stampede of passengers piling into the already packed train.
