reunited after the year, the parents and children begged in tears: don't break up the parents.
Taiwan opened the mainland to visit relatives, and after 44 years of waiting, Gong Dacai returned to the mainland with excitement and his son's request. When he left home, he was still a young man, but now he has gray temples.
The great changes in his hometown and people made him think a lot, and he couldn't help but think back to the innocent years more than 40 years ago. At that time, he and his wife Xu Fengchi were childhood playmates, childhood sweethearts, and they had no guesses.
When they grew up, they came together, when he was 18 and she was 17. Although they had their share of troubles and sorrows along the way, they remained committed to each other, and their relationship grew as deep as they aged.
Three years later, in 1945, Xu Fengchi became pregnant, and Gong Dacai's wife was also pregnant, and both of them were immersed in the joy of becoming parents. However, the Kuomintang army captured strong men in the vast countryside, causing the men to flee in all directions.
At that time, the cost of conscription was already very low, and the strong men who were conscripted by the Kuomintang at all levels faced the dilemma of having no food, no clothes to wear, and no way to get sick when they were sick.
Many people died of starvation, freezing, and disease, so everyone avoided being drafted. Gong Dacai hid everywhere during the day, and did not dare to go home at night, so he could only sleep next to the grave in the field or by the ridge of the field, and lived in fear every day.
He was worried about the situation at home, so one day he mustered up the courage to go home and go to the field, but unexpectedly met a group of soldiers, and Gong Dacai was forcibly arrested.
Title: A Thousand Miles Apart, Reunion After 44 Years His back disappeared into the distance, leaving behind his pregnant wife and young son. At this moment, fate changed.
A year later, their son was born, named Taiwang, which means that he misses his father too much and longs for family reunion. When the child was a little older, the mother did her best to find out the address of the father's unit and sent him her own and her son's **.
These ** gave his father deep comfort, and also made him full of longing for his hometown and wife. However, in 1949, the Kuomintang withdrew to Taiwan, and the two sides of the strait began to separate, and he was also ordered to withdraw to Taiwan.
When he first arrived in Taiwan, he was completely cut off from his hometown and could not be heard. He couldn't suppress his longing for his hometown, and he returned to his hometown countless times in his dreams, where his gentle wife was cooking and his son was playing ......However, when I woke up, it was just an empty joy.
He watched his wife and son's ** every day, and tears flowed uncontrollably. At first, he was immersed in depression, depressed, lonely, and uninteresting.
Later, when the homesickness could not be resolved, he went to the top of a hill alone and sat all day. Because you can see a faint image of the continent across the sea.
I have no choice but to be separated by this sea, which is decades apart. Whenever he was homesick, he would come to this mountain top to face his hometown across the sea, and every time he felt so helpless, he longed to be a fish and swim across the sea that blocked him from going home.
However, home was so far away that he could not soothe his lonely heart, and whenever his tears were wet, only the coconut tree next to him could listen to him.
His wish is to return to his hometown and reunite with his loved ones, which is also the wish of the veterans, which is the greatest motivation to support them to live. After arriving in Taiwan, many people gradually couldn't stand the loneliness and became home again.
The squad leader also persuaded him to start a family here, because it was far away to go back. But he didn't have a family, some people even asked his wife in Taiwan to introduce his girlfriend to him, and the other party was also very interesting to him, so he came to take care of him and help him wash and scrub when he was free, but he let the girl go, and even scolded the person who introduced him.
The gentle figure of his wife always haunted him, how could he forget all this. Over the years, he has used various methods to try to give his wife a message and let her know that she is still alive.
Some veterans asked their friends abroad to communicate with their relatives on the mainland, and he was both envious and emotional. Once he also wrote a letter and asked the veteran to help him entrust someone to bring it to his son, but it was lost.
After a few times, his enthusiasm was almost extinguished. In this way, year after year, in 1987, the Taiwan authorities finally allowed Taiwan compatriots to visit relatives and correspond on the mainland, and the decades-long ice blockade between the two sides of the strait was finally lifted.
It was so exciting, the veterans drank together to celebrate, a few glasses of wine were down, and a few people were crying and laughing. After this isolation was broken, one day he received a letter from a man named Gong Guangxu looking for his father.
He learned that this was his son, Taiwang, who was looking for him. In the correspondence, he knew that his son had changed his name, so he never received his letter. Gong Guangxu said in the letter that his mother and he missed him very much and hoped that he could go home.
So he immediately applied for the formalities of returning to the mainland to visit relatives, and the approval was soon received. He was so excited that he climbed the hill again, this time in a different mood.
With tears in his eyes, he told the good news to this old friend who had witnessed his joys and sorrows for decades. Decades of ups and downs, just for this dynasty to return.
After 44 years of absence, he finally set foot on his homeland again and saw his long-lost relatives and old friends. In the crowd, his eyes blurred with tears, and his excitement was indescribable.
He saw his son at a glance, and they shook each other's hands and let the tears fall. He searched everywhere for his wife, but never saw him. He asked his son, "Let's go home, and we'll see it when we go back." ”
His son told him, "Mommy has arrived." Hearing this, his mood was extremely complicated, full of longing and anticipation. He finally met his wife, who had been separated for decades, but she was already old and full of gray hair.
Looking at her gray hair, his heart was full of distress. She asked, "Are you back?" His head was dizzy, and he didn't know what to say. He found an elderly man standing next to his wife, who had remarried.
He took a deep breath in his heart, and the shock and shock quickly recovered, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile and beckoned them to sit down. He knew that this was the cruelty of life, and he also knew that he should have thought of this result a long time ago.
He learned from his son what was going on after he left, and his wife had fainted. Later, after the birth of their son, the life of the mother and son became even more difficult. From that day on, the wife not only had to raise the children alone, but also began a long life of longing for her relatives.
He hasn't been home for a long time, and his wife and son have been waiting for his return. His heart was filled with guilt and self-blame, and he didn't know what to do to make up for their pain.
He knew that he had missed a lot and that he could not afford to miss it again. He decided to stay here and live with them. He gave the most expensive clothes to her new husband as a token of gratitude.
He has learned to let go, and he has understood that cherishing the talent in front of him is the most important attitude in life. He has understood that love does not lie in the length of time and space, but in the resonance and companionship of the heart.
The barrier between the two was removed, and looking at his lonely mother, Gong Guangxu understood that she missed her father, so he decided to facilitate the union of Gong Dacai and Xu Fengchi.
However, Gong Dacai did not immediately agree, he went to the temple to burn incense for his benefactor, and as a relative, he and Xu Fengchi jointly kept filial piety for Yang Jianquan for three years. It wasn't until 1993, when Gong Dacai was 79 years old, that he returned to his hometown and was officially with Xu Fengchi.
Looking at his wife in her 70s, Gong Dacai was full of emotion, because they had been separated for decades because of the war, and now they are very old people when they get together again. The war had a fatal impact on them, it was the war that destroyed them and destroyed countless happy families.
We don't want to be frightened by the roar of guns, we don't want to live in the smoke of gunpowder, we don't want to live in pessimism and despair. Everyone longs for peace, for every corner of the global village to be full of birds and flowers, and for every land to be a grass grows and warblers fly.
