In the War of Liberation, the decadent and authoritarian Kuomintang became more and more unpopular, and eventually the Chiang dynasty was unable to sustain itself, so it could only withdraw from the mainland in a hurry and run to a corner of Taiwan. This withdrawal never returned, followed by a confrontation and blockade between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which lasted for more than half a century. Decades are very short for the regime, for ordinary people this is most of life, and for those who are isolated by a bay of straits, it may be a farewell.
However, although the ties between the people on both sides of the strait have been blocked, their feelings of longing have not diminished in the slightest, and this emotion is even deeply rooted in the hearts of their descendants.
Jiang Xiaoyong, who was born into a famous family, is like this, although he grew up in Taiwan, he has a heart for the mainland. As the favorite grandson of Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, Chiang Hyo-yong is not only filial and sensible but also has ideals and ambitions, and they have always had high expectations for this grandson, hoping that he will make a difference in the future, become the successor of the family, and shoulder the political burden of the Chiang family. Unfortunately, Jiang Xiaowu, who had aspired to join the army since childhood, accidentally sprained his foot during a military physical training, and since then he has never been able to participate in any physical exercise, and his dream of being a soldier has been shattered, and Chiang Kai-shek and his wife have also deeply regretted this. After being injured, Jiang Xiaoyong gave up his military and political path and chose to study at National Taiwan University.
After graduating from school, Jiang's family still hoped that he could continue to engage in politics, but he resolutely refused and resolutely chose to abandon politics and engage in business.
Of course, Jiang Xiaoyong's choice was also forced by the situation and was a helpless move to conform to the actual situation at that time, but I have to admit that his choice was wise.
Because since Chiang Kai-shek's death, the Chiang family's political power in Taiwan has been declining day by day, as a descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, insisting on politics will undoubtedly be difficult and even become the target of public criticism.
Especially when he saw that his second brother was implicated in the Jiangnan case and was accused by the entire Taiwan media and the public and had to resign, Jiang Xiaoyong understood that today's Taiwanese political arena is no longer suitable for the Chiang family to get involved in, and politics is destined not to be a stage suitable for himself, but rather more direct and economical than capital and interests. As a result, Jiang Xiaoyong began to operate and work hard in the business world, and after many years of accumulation, Jiang Xiaoyong became the richest of Jiang's peers.
Moreover, Jiang Xiaoyong, who has a lot of money, has achieved a certain position in taiwan's business and government for two terms by virtue of his own and his family's accumulated contacts.
But he still did not shake his inner thought of abandoning politics.
After the death of his father Chiang Ching-kuo in 1988, the Chiang family once again faced a crisis, and in order to make the family less affected, Jiang Xiaoyong entered the Central Committee of the government at that time through all sides. Just when people thought that Jiang Xiaoyong's move was to fulfill the expectations of his grandparents and restore the glory of the Jiang family, not long after, Jiang Xiaoyong left Taiwan with his family in the name of further study, moved to Canada, and completely bid farewell to Taiwan's political arena.
Jiang Xiaoyong, who left Taiwan where he grew up and chose to move to Canada, still has not forgotten that he is a Chinese, and has always been obsessed with the mainland of the motherland and the homeland of his family.
He wanted to see it in person and feel the land where his grandparents and fathers once lived, and this idea had always been buried in Jiang Xiaoyong's heart, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
In 1995, Jiang Xiaoyong, who was suffering from cancer, knew that his time was running out, and he decided to seize the last opportunity of his life to go to the mainland to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors. The following year, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council arranged a plane for Jiang Xiaoyong's family, and they finally returned to the mainland of the motherland as they wished, and at the moment when the plane landed smoothly, as the first descendant of Chiang Kai-shek to return to the mainland after half a century, Jiang Xiaoyong was extremely excited in his heart.
Because Jiang Xiaoyong and others were relatively tight on this trip, their itinerary was also relatively compact, and after a short stop in Beijing, Jiang Xiaoyong hurriedly left for Jiang's hometown of Xikou, Zhejiang.
Coming to their hometown, Jiang Xiaoyong and others visited The Former Residence of Jiang's Family, and they did not engage in specialization when they came to the former residence in a low-key manner, but bought tickets to enter like other tourists.
In Jiang's former residence, which displayed the photos of his fathers and grandfathers, Jiang Xiaoyong couldn't help but murmur when he saw this: "This is what you look like when you are young!" Speaking with tears in his eyes, this moment is an ordinary wanderer who has returned to his homeland after many years of absence, one of the thousands of Chinese sons and daughters who recognize their ancestors and search for their roots, until the time of his death, Jiang Xiaoyong still does not forget to warn future generations,
Always remember your roots and don't forget that you are Chinese.
