His practice was very successful although he had to treat his patients with a limited supply as the stock of drugs began to decline in the beginning years of World War II.

Kwok travelled with the Imam to Sulu and learned the activities of the resistance movement under the command of Filipino Lieutenant Colonel Alejandro Suarez there.

Once he arrived there, he first contacted the "Oversea Chinese Defence Association", with whose help he acquired medical equipment and cash donations for the support of the resistance in Sulu.

On the eve of 10 October 1943 prior to the Chinese National Day, Kwok decided to begin their attack called as the "Double Tenth Revolt" with an estimate of 300 guerrilla fighters.

Fighting continued for more than two-months with the Japanese finally deciding to change their tactic by threatening to execute 400 civilians in Shantung Valley if the group did not surrender.
