Jan Morris' Last Letters from Hav, my favourite travel book to a nonexistent country :D
Your grandfather sounds fascinating! Did he do a memoir? I hadn't thought about the less visible injuries but yes, they must have been devastating.
I've read an interview somewhere (in one of Jan Wong's memoirs, I think) with a Chinese urologist who did a lot of penis reconstruction surgery - apparently the traditional Chinese toilet training method involves putting the kids in open crotch pants, which in small villages with feral pigs and dogs means the potential for horrific injuries.
