The Tian couple are the parents of the eldest daughter who was killed during the confrontation with the soldiers. After their daughter's death, they cried hysterically over her corpse and loudly cursed the soldiers, accusing them of hypocrisy regarding humanitarianism. The father and mother were described as near-insane with grief and anger, screaming at the soldiers despite having just survived a life-and-death battle in which many comrades had fallen. Their outburst contrasted sharply with the calmer demeanor of the young man from their family. The soldiers, still hot-tempered from the battle, angrily retorted that the family's own conspiracy with foreign enemy agents using guns and bombs was what put them in danger, and their continued breathing was proof of the soldiers' restraint.
