Detective History:
A strait, a sea, seen in the universe, is just a small horizontal ditch. But it was this small ditch that blocked the people on both sides of the strait from meeting each other for more than seventy years. Countless veterans in Taiwan are thinking of their distant relatives and hometowns that they do not know when they can return. whereas
Xie Chunsheng, a veteran, has been across a strait, missed his family for 71 years, and endured 71 years of pain.
The old man Xie Chunsheng secretly joined the army to resist Japan at the age of 15, and it was seventy-one years after he left, while his mother waited for him in his hometown for 71 years, spanning more than half a century. So why did Xie Chunsheng's veterans come home every 71 years? Why did he go out and secretly resist Japan when he was 15 years old? Now let's follow this article and reveal it for you.
Born tragic
Xie Chunsheng was born in a small village in the 1920s and 1930s, when the Japanese army invaded China, and the land of Shenzhou was full of smoke and war, and countless families were separated from each other in this war, enduring great pain. Countless people were displaced and eager to find a stable home, but in those days, it was difficult to find a peaceful place. Countless young people rushed to the battlefield and bravely killed the enemy. The whole of China is in a state of crumbling.
Xie Chunsheng grew up in such an environment, and in the descriptions of others, he heard about the brutality of the Japanese army and gritted his teeth in hatred for the Japanese army.
When he was very young, he wanted to go to the battlefield, kill the enemy bravely, and defend his family and country.
However, he was too young to play and kill the enemy.
From ancient times to the present, in the era of social turmoil, the best way for countless people to choose self-preservation is to flee their hometowns and find a place without war where they can live and work in peace. This is the choice that most people would have made during the war years.
However, at that time, the land of Shenzhou was full of wars, where could we find a peaceful place?
At that time, many neighbors near Xie Chunsheng's family chose to flee the small village.
At that time, a well-meaning person told Xie Chunsheng's father:
"The Japanese army will come soon, so hurry up and leave, or it will be too late."
However, it was the harvest season, and Xie Chunsheng's father was not very willing to go to his hometown, he thought: Now is the harvest season, if you escape, the family will have no food for a year. Moreover, fleeing also requires a certain amount of possessions. The family is so poor, where the money can be used to escape. If they did flee, maybe the family would starve to death on the road. It is better to stay in your hometown and endure the invasion of the Japanese army, maybe after the war will end.
Therefore, Xie Chunsheng's father held such a concept, and the family did not choose to flee, but chose to stay in their hometown.
A young man who lost his father
After the other neighbors fled, it was not long before the Japanese army set foot on this land, frantically invading the people of this land, and began to burn and loot to satisfy their own selfish desires.
When the Japanese army came, Xie Chunsheng's father would arrange his children and wife in the kiln, and he would find a place to hide. Sometimes, when the Japanese army came to their family's situation was not very good, Xie Chunsheng's father would come out, an honest farmer who could only cultivate the land.
In order to protect his wife and children, he bravely stood up and negotiated with the Japanese army.
In this way, his wife and children passed by the god of death again and again under his protection. But one day, he finally protected his wife and children, but was brutally killed by the Japanese army.
On that day, Xie Chunsheng and his mother and sister waited as usual for their father to open the door of the kiln and take them out. However, they stayed in the kiln for a long time, their breathing was almost stopped, and they still did not see their father's arrival.
Xie Chunsheng felt that he could not breathe, so he had to sneak open the door into a small gap, through which he saw his father lying in a pool of blood.
Xie Chunsheng hurriedly opened the door of the kiln, ran to his father, and took him in his arms. However, his father's body was already cold at this time. His father, when he was 15 years old, left this world forever and finally protected his wife and children once again.
Because of the departure of his closest relatives, Xie Chunsheng gritted his teeth in hatred for the Japanese army, and was eager to crush the Japanese army to pieces. He saw that there were many children of his age around him, and his parents had also been killed by the Japanese army. Therefore, they wanted to join the army together, defeat the Japanese army, and avenge their loved ones.
Sneak into battle
Not long after his father's death, Xie Chunsheng told his mother:
"Ah Niang, I want to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese devils and avenge Ah Niang."
Xie Chunsheng had thought that his mother, who also hated the Japanese army and gritted her teeth and understood the righteousness, would definitely agree with her idea.
But his mother rejected him, gave him a hard slap, and then hugged him and cried bitterly:
"Chunsheng, don't complain about the mother." Your father protected our mother-in-law with his life, and you are the only one in our family. The mother really does not want you to go to the battlefield, the mother does not ask you to be rich and noble, the mother wants you to be safe. ”
Xie Chunsheng saw that he could not persuade his mother, so in the middle of the night, he secretly packed up his things, left a letter for his mother, and left.
When Xie Chunsheng's mother was in Xie Chunsheng's room the next morning, she saw the letter left behind and was worried.
Will Chunsheng be hungry on the road? Will you be injured on the battlefield? Can you come back alive?
Knowing her son's determination to avenge his father, she did not ask for someone to look for him, but stayed at home, waiting for her son's return.
After Xie Chunsheng registered in the end, he did not look carefully, and immediately signed up, eager to go to the battlefield.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xie Chunsheng was always the first person to charge forward, he bravely killed devils on the battlefield, avenged his dead father, and avenged his dead compatriots.
At the age of 15, like other warriors, he ate bad meals and lived in dilapidated places. However, Xie Chunsheng felt very satisfied, as long as he could fight the Japanese army, he felt very satisfied.
In this way, Xie Chunsheng has been fighting devils on the battlefield, and he knows that on the day of the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
When Xie Chunsheng learned of the day when the Japanese army unconditionally surrendered, he was so happy that he shed tears of happiness, and he finally waited for the head of the Japanese army and finally avenged his father.
Not long after the end of the war, he was anxious to retire from the army and return to his mother.
The squad leader at that time saw Xie Chunsheng's mood, and in order to keep him, he lied to him:
"I heard that as long as we stay a few more years, we can get a lot of money." Chunsheng, when the time comes, you can take this money and go back to filial piety to your mother. ”
When Xie Chunsheng heard this, he was very moved, so he decided to stay in the army for a few more years and then go home. Who knows, one day, he suddenly learned that he was going to participate in the war again, but this time it was not the Japanese army, but the Chinese who shed the same blood as himself.
Xie Chunsheng didn't want to fight, but if he didn't fight, then the person who died was him. He had to try to avoid hurting local people when fighting. He really didn't want to hurt Chinese, who was bleeding the same blood as himself.
After the defeat of the Kuomintang in the War of Liberation, Xie Chunsheng was forced to come to Taiwan with the Kuomintang. After coming to Taiwan, he got a large amount of money and could choose to retire from the army.
The squad leader promised that he had received a large sum of money, but he could not return to his hometown, and could only look at his relatives across a strait.
Mother and child reunion
At this time, Xie Chunsheng wanted to use the money in his hand to exchange for a ticket that could go back, cross the Taiwan Strait, and return to his mother's arms. However, because of the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Xie Chunsheng was doomed not to return to his hometown.
Xie Chunsheng used the money to start a small business in Taiwan and began to earn money to support himself. In his spare time, Xie Chunshen often searches for various old material texts, eager to find a sense of hometown in it. He also paid special attention to the relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party,
It is hoped that the two parties can reconcile as soon as possible and taiwan can return to the embrace of the motherland as soon as possible.
Therefore, he particularly supports the "one-China" principle and has been committed to people-to-people exchanges between Taiwan and the mainland. He had been eager to return to his mother.
Finally, in 2008. Taiwan and the mainland can finally communicate by mail and ship. The two sides of the strait can finally have normal exchanges.
Xie Chunsheng hurriedly bought a ferry ticket and was eager to return to his hometown.
When he finally set foot on the land of his hometown again after seventy-one years, he was anxious to meet his mother, even if it was only to see her grave.
Therefore, he inquired in many ways and found out that his mother had always believed that her child would come back, and had always insisted on living, living for more than a hundred years. His mother was getting worse and worse and mentally ill, but she was convinced that her son would come back.
After Xie Chunsheng returned home, after a full seventy-one years, he finally saw his mother again.
He and his mother hugged each other and cried. Xie Chunsheng left home at the age of 15 and, after 71 years, finally saw his mother again.
This is not only Xie Chunsheng's luck, but also the luck of this era. In this new era, the people on both sides of the strait can finally see the relatives they have always wanted to see again.
War brings us not only physical pain, but also spiritual pain. Countless people have separated their wives and children, cannot see their relatives, and live alone.
Therefore, Xie Chunsheng was at least lucky, and he was really happy enough compared to those whose friends and relatives had long since died.
