Hana and Dr. Sadao contemplated the morality and consequences of helping the wounded American soldier they found washed up on the shore. They were torn between the duty to save a life and the potential repercussions of going against their country during wartime.
Two things happened on the day the letter was typed. The cook, the gardener and Yumi had packed up their belongings and left together. Though the servants cried, Hana put up a brave front. The second thing that happened was the arrival of a messenger to tell Sadao that he had been called to the palace as the general was in pain again.
Dr. Sadao operated on the American soldier by first assessing his injuries, which included a gunshot wound. He worked quickly to save the soldier's life, performing surgery in his own home due to the wartime circumstances and the risk of being discovered. Despite the potential repercussions, Sadao prioritized his medical ethics and compassion over national loyalties, ultimately treating the soldier with skill and care.
The general wanted Dr. Sadao to combine the German ruthlessness with the American sentimentality. Then only he would be able to turn over the prisoner for execution and yet not murder the general while he was being operated. His unusual sense of humour made him say this to Sadao.
Sadao's skill at operating on the prisoner with success, made the general believe more firmly that he was indispensable to him. He did not want to have him arrested because Sadao was the only person who could save him if he had another of his attacks and required an operation. General liked Sadao.
Dr. Sadao is a skilled Japanese surgeon dedicated to his work and the well-being of his patients. He faces a moral dilemma when he discovers an American soldier washed ashore near his home during World War II. Despite his duty to his country, Dr. Sadao chooses to save the soldier's life, showcasing his compassion and inner conflict with the values of war.
Dr. Sadao Hoki was a Japanese doctor who treated a wounded American soldier during World War II in the short story "The Enemy" by Pearl S. Buck. Despite the soldier being considered an enemy, Dr. Hoki's dedication to his profession and ethical values compelled him to save the soldier's life.
Dr. Sadao was also famous as a scientist because he had perfected a discovery which could render wounds entirely clean. He was really skilled at work. The only reason he was not sent abroad is due to the health of the General.
He gave the American stout boat, put food, bottled water and two quilts in it. He returned to the prisoner's room, checked his temperature, the condition of his wound, his heart and his pulse. He decided to even give him his flashlight after a bit of hesitation. He told him how to catch fish and then use the flashlight to signal to him if he needed food etc.

'The Enemy', by Pearl S. Buck portrays the character of an American trained Japanese surgeon, Dr. Sadao Hoki. Through his character, the author has shown a conflict of ethics between duty towards the country and compassion towards mankind. Dr. Sadao, being a skilled surgeon saved the life of an escaped American prisoner of war who was wounded seriously and had been washed ashore. Torn between his duty and his integrity as a doctor, he chooses to save his life first and then hand him over to the police. His inner conflict and professional ethics make him choose the first option. His servants too, desert him for fear of getting into trouble. He is fully aware of the fact that harbouring a prisoner of war would endanger his own life as well. Dr. Sadao had been a victim of racial prejudice during his stay in America. He was well-known for his skill as a surgeon, in his own country so much so, that he had not been sent with the troops during war. His character, as the story unfolds, depicts an amalgamation of right and wrong. He ignores the 'wrong' but assumes the role of a compassionate human being and takes the 'right' decision of saving the soldier's life. All through his effort, he has the undaunted support of his wife, Hana. The General gave him assurance to get rid of the prisoner but forgot his promise. Eventually, Sadao helps him to escape. He goes to the extent of calling him 'my friend'. He rose above narrow prejudices and political enmity, disregarded the lurking dangers and open defiance of his loyal servants to help the 'enemy' escape. He has transcended racial/ political hatred and had heard the voice of his conscience.
The reward that sadao received was that the prisoner of war , Tom , had found a Korean boat to rescue him from the island which he had been sent to by Sadao. Sadao concluded that tom had escaped safely as he did not see any spot of black in the twilighted sea that night.
