According to Global Network sources, recently, the Taiwan authorities have been clamoring and speculating on the theory that "the two sides of the strait are not subordinate to each other." There is a god in the three feet of the head, and the DPP authorities' remarks not only deviate from the last wishes of their ancestors, but also have no face to see the Chinese emperors. Taiwan has always been a part of China, the two sides of the strait have a constant blood line, in Baodao, how many people have been torn apart to miss their relatives on the mainland of the motherland...
Just 34 years ago today, on January 19, 1988, the first homecoming family visit group organized by Taiwan successfully arrived in Beijing. At this point, the situation in which the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been isolated for nearly 40 years has finally been broken. Many of the people in the ranks have changed from young adults to middle-aged and elderly people who have gone through vicissitudes, and the vast majority of them are veterans brought to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek around 1949.
Others are extremely reluctant to be taken away.
Jiang Sizhang, from Daishan County, was only 13 years old in 1950, and once returned home from school, he was forcibly stopped by Kuomintang soldiers and put on a boat to Taiwan, and about 13,000 people had the same experience as he was regarded as a "Zhuang Ding". Just as the voyage was about to begin, many people could not bear to leave, so they jumped off the ship, and the soldiers on the ship saw the situation and shot mercilessly into the sea... This scene Jiang Sizhang has remembered in his heart for many years, and on the dock, his wife, mother, daughter, sister, etc. who came to look for his family cried bitterly, and kneeling on the shore to pray could be seen everywhere.
This time the parting is almost 40 years long.
In these decades, veterans in Taiwan have been strictly forbidden, and can only bury their homesickness in their hearts, and when they dream back in the middle of the night, they let the tears soak the pillow. Because the Taiwan authorities set a ban on marriage for military personnel in the early days, many veterans were never married, and countless people could not wait to return to the mainland to see their relatives, so they were buried alone in Taiwan. The letters they wrote with tears were all blocked by the Taiwan authorities, and not a single word was transmitted to their relatives on the other shore.
"There is no way to go back to the home, there is nowhere to ask about life and death" is the helplessness of the veterans in Taiwan.
In March 1987, the "Association for the Promotion of Returning From Other Provinces to Visit Relatives" was established. The Kuomintang veterans, who are nearing their twilight years, can no longer sit still, and they constantly appeal through the media, parliament and other means to return to their hometown and reunite with their relatives. They shout "homesick"! On Mother's Day that year, many veterans gathered together to hold a conference, and everyone on and off the stage burst into tears, only looking forward to going home to see their mother.
On October 15, under the pressure of public opinion, the Taiwan authorities announced that the people could visit their relatives on the mainland once a year for three months. When the news came out, the veterans whose ancestral home were all rejoicing and excited, and they rushed to go home through the formalities. On the 16th, the motherland announced the "Circular on the Measures for the Reception of Taiwan Compatriots Visiting the Mainland to Visit Relatives and Tourism", welcoming everyone.
At that time, the hottest topic on both sides of the strait was not "Taiwan independence," but "visiting relatives."
In December, the first veterans of family visits set out on their way home. On January 17, 1988, the first thing the group returning to Xi'an to visit was to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors. He Wende, the leader of the regiment, led everyone to the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum to worship the ancestors. The Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is a symbol of Chinese civilization and a "holy place" for Chinese descendants to find their roots and recognize their ancestors, and these people who have been away from their homeland for a long time have presented water, soil and fruits from the motherland of Taiwan, solemnly telling their thoughts about their hometown and ancestors.
On January 19, the group arrived in Beijing, holding small flags with cross-strait maps in their hands, and a special picture of a group of white pigeons flying from Taiwan to Chinese mainland.
The two sides of the strait have begun the road of returning to their hometowns to visit their relatives, setting off a journey of the Taiwan people to find their roots, which is a true portrayal of a family's relatives.
However, in recent years, the DPP authorities have continuously trafficked in the "two-state theory," which seems to be inconsistent with the spiritual demands and practical interests of the people on both sides of the strait. Taiwanese musicians sang loudly that the two sides of the strait have never been close to each other. Hong Xiuzhu, former chairman of the Kuomintang of China, sighed: "No matter how many generations have passed since the two sides of the strait, they have always been one family." However, there has never been a knot in the heart between relatives that cannot be untangled, and the course of development of cross-strait relations is clearly showing that the motherland must be reunified, and it will inevitably be reunified!
