"Forgive, but don't forget" The first part of "White Land" (series 44)

Three

All I know about the man who escaped and disappeared is that his surname is Liang and he is a warehouse keeper.

After Director Wang's suicide attempt, the rebels set off a new wave of fighting, and all those who were innocent in history and who came from bad backgrounds lined up in a sieve. When he was young, Master Liang worked as a Kuomintang soldier in his hometown, and was later captured by the People's Liberation Army as a liberation fighter. Originally, this experience was nothing, and during the War of Resistance Against Japan or the War of Liberation, our army absorbed a large number of prisoners to strengthen its troops and strike at the enemy. The rebels talked to Master Liang once and asked him to explain the historical problem of being a Kuomintang soldier. When Master Liang saw three bourgeoisie committing suicide in succession, he was frightened and left his wife and two children to run away from home. Master Liang's escape aroused the high vigilance of the rebels, believing that he was a "big fish" who had slipped through the net, and immediately mobilized the crowd to search for him. However, after several months, no shadow could be found, so he had to be hastily dismissed as a Kuomintang agent. Sadly, Master Liang was quiet as soon as he left, but he suffered from the wife and children who stayed at home.

Master Liang's wife is a housewife, two children are small, as soon as the factory stops paying wages, the family immediately cut off their financial resources. When the wife heard the news of her husband's disappearance, she burst into tears, and she had also thought about death, but she still gritted her teeth for the children and survived, earning only twenty yuan a month at the family service station to survive. After another two years, the wife's tears dried up, she did not hear from her husband, and the family had eaten and eaten, and could no longer support it. Fortunately, there was an old worker who lost his wife who often helped her family, and in desperation, Master Liang's wife married an old worker. The children of the two families are together, and the family's surname is three or four surnames, and they even have to explain to others for half a day when changing the household registration book.

Twenty-seven years later, Master Liang miraculously returned alive!

It turned out that Master Liang fled to a large ravine at the junction of Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia, pretended to be a blind stream breaking into the Guandong, and buried his name in anonymity to herd sheep and mix food for others. In order to protect himself, Master Liang rarely spoke so much that everyone thought he was dumb. The place was deserted, and few people knew the news outside the mountain. Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like shuttles, Master Liang is old, he misses his wife and children very much, he wants to take another look at his relatives at home, and he can close his eyes when he dies. Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well rope. Master Liang returned to the sugar factory several times, but he was afraid that the rebels would find out and hide when he saw people, and he hesitated to enter the factory area. Hungry, steal some vegetables to eat, thirsty, drink the water in the bubble. He finally fainted on the side of the road and happened to be rescued by a worker passing by after work. But Master Liang was homeless, and after so many years, his wife had long been married, and the children did not know their father. Now because of his presence, his wife and two husbands have committed bigamy, so that she does not know how to face them? So the children of the two families had two fathers, and the mother had to take care of two husbands at the same time, and the tears she did not shed twenty-seven years ago, and then flowed again twenty-seven years later, washing her face with tears all day long, and she did not want to die.

How can such a fait accompli not be sad, for the wife and the two husbands alone, and even the children of both families are crying. The two families have been together for more than twenty years, and adults and children are inseparable from each other. What to do? What to do? Master Liang is grateful to his wife's current husband for raising two children for him, so that they can still call their stepfather Daddy, endure the pain of "letting Xian" himself, and live a lonely life.

When the white earth people heard about it, they all burst into tears. The leadership team of the sugar factory quickly repaid Master Liang's salary and gave him a house to help him settle down. However, Master Liang eventually fell ill due to overwork, and died of depression within two years, and he did not say a word again when he was dying.
