Because of his childhood memories, the Kazakh boy Rutham remembered his long-lost relatives and grandmothers in China, so he decided to go to her, but because of the language barrier, he mistook the name of his relatives, and Rutham, who only had the photos of his relatives in his hand, could finally find his relatives in China?
In this issue, Ziya Childlike Character Chronicles takes you to see Rutham's transnational search for relatives.
In an accident, the brothers and sisters separated China and foreign countries
In 1945, a million Soviet Red Army came to Harbin in the northeast, quickly defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army, and then left the northeast one after another, while also taking a large amount of booty.
However, due to the excessive number of materials, they were not transported at one time, and many materials were stored in the warehouse.
For the poor people who experienced war at that time, those materials can be said to be very precious, many people want to get some items to spend the winter, and many young men even go to the middle of the night to get a sum.
Rutham's grandfather, Xiong Shouxin, was a member at that time, and there was a younger sister in the family who was 17 years apart, named Xiong Shoulan. Bear's father learned of his plan, thought it was dangerous, wouldn't let him go, and locked him in the house.
But if he didn't go, wouldn't he be a bag in the eyes of other people's companions? The young and vigorous Bear Shouxin did not want to be laughed at, and took advantage of the fact that his family was asleep at night, directly pried open the lock and ran out. And this time he left, he never came back.
They never expected that there were still people guarding around the warehouse, xiong Shouxin and his companions had just entered the warehouse on the front foot, and the back foot was caught by the personnel left by the Soviet troops and thrown into the prison of the former Soviet Union.
But being held in prison and having to give them a mouthful of food to feed them was too uneconomical, so they were sent to all over the world, that is, they were not allowed to return to china, which was a punishment.
Xiong Shouxin was assigned to Kazakhstan, but the language barrier and cut off contact with his relatives, and Xiong Shouxin, who was not familiar with life, could only find a way to survive first.
His life was hard enough, he not only settled in Kazakhstan, but also met a favorite Chinese-Russian mixed-race woman, fell in love and married shortly after, the other gave birth to 3 sons, 2 daughters, Rutham's mother, is one of his daughters.
Xiong Shouxin lived a happy and happy life, but his family in China thought that he might have died a long time ago.
Until the 10th year of Xiong Shouxin's "disappearance", the compatriots who were arrested with Xiong Shouxin returned to Jixi, met xiong's family, and told Xiong Shoulan about Xiong Shouxin's affairs in Kazakhtan.
She was very fortunate to learn that her brother Xiong Shouxin was still alive, but due to the long distance and inconvenient transportation, the Xiong family could only contact Xiong Shouxin in Kazakhstan by writing a letter, knowing that he was doing well, and she was relieved.
Did the two brothers and sisters meet later? And why did you break the connection? Let's move on.
In 1992, Xiong Shoulan, who lived in China, was already married and had 1 son and 1 daughter. Bear Shouxin in Kazakhstan also embraced grandchildren, and Rutham was one of them.
In this year, Xiong Shoulan finally took his family to Kazakhstan to meet his brother who had been separated for decades, and that touching scene remained in the mind of young Rutham for a long time.
Rutham also had the honor of following his family to Visit His Family in China, and his Relatives in China also liked him very much, especially his grandmother Xiong Shoulan, who took special care of him and left a deep impression on him.
In those years, the two families often visited relatives in China and Kazakhstan, and their relationship gradually became familiar.
However, as the years passed, due to language barriers, telephone disconnection, miles apart, family changes, changes in address and other reasons, relatives in the two places gradually lost contact, and when they remembered each other again, they found that they could no longer contact each other, and Rutham never saw his relatives in China again.
When Rutham grew up, the Internet became developed, and China developed rapidly, and when Rutham saw information about China, he could always think of his relatives in China, and the good memories of his childhood came to his mind, making him feel very nostalgic and had the idea of looking for them.
But in this vast sea of people, how is he going to look for it?
A group photo, find the long-lost aunt
Rutham suddenly remembered that when he was a child, the two families had taken a big group photo, so he immediately looked through the family photo album, and really let him find it, and the photo happened to have Chinese relatives.
After that, Rutham contacted a Chinese reporter and gave the photo to the other party, hoping that the other party would help find his relatives.
But years later, people's appearance will also change, and journalists will need Rutham to provide more information about their loved ones, and if there is a name, the scope will be smaller.
Because he was too young at that time, he only knew that he often called a relative called "aunt and grandmother", and did not know the specific name, but he was definitely the same surname as his grandfather.
However, due to the language barrier, he mistakenly spelled "bear" into "Xu", and "Xiong Shoulan" became "Xu Shoulan", which disturbed the reporter's investigation direction.
The reporter submitted the photo to the public security department, and after investigation, there were only two elderly people named "Xu Shoulan" in Daqing, but they did not match the people in the photos, and they had never been to Kazakhstan.
Rutham thought he had made a mistake in his name, or that his aunt had not lived in Daqing, and found a photo at home with the name of "Wu Shuhua" written on the back, thinking that it was his aunt, so he gave the photo to the reporter.
This time, the reporter decided to publish the photo in the Daqing Evening News, hoping to let the relatives who saw the photos take the initiative to contact themselves. So did Rutham finally find his aunt with these two photos? Let's move on.
Originally thought that the wrong name would make the road of finding relatives go farther and farther, but I did not expect that a great coincidence pulled this crooked road directly to the correct end.
According to the process, a press release needs to enter the editorial process before it is included and published, and Rutham's cross-border family search manuscript thus enters the vision of Su Yumei, the editor who is in charge of that page that day.
She first found that a certain person in the photo was somewhat similar to her fifth sister, but there were many people with similar appearances in this world, and she was not sure.
Then, she found that the other people in the photo all had similarities with her relatives, so it couldn't be accidental.
Therefore, Su Yumei called the fifth sister to confirm, to her surprise, the person in the photo is really the fifth sister, and even confirmed the information of other people in the photo, which learned that Rutham's aunt is called "Xiong Shoulan".
In this way, the manuscript of the transnational search for relatives had not yet been published, and Rutham found his aunt and grandmother, which can be said to be very lucky.
When the reporter told Rutham the news, Rutham was very excited and could not wait to see his relatives, because the two countries were far apart, the reporter proposed that the two first contact through the mobile phone network, Rutham and Xiong Shoulan agreed.
After that, the reporter took the translator teacher to Xiong Shoulan's home as promised, and when he learned that Xiong Shoulan received the news, he felt incredible, so excited that he couldn't sleep one night, and looked forward to today's arrival.
With the help of reporters and translators, Xiong Shoulan and Rutham finally met across screens across borders.
When the faces of the two appeared on the screen, their eyes flashed with tears after a long time apart.
The first sentence that Rutham opened his mouth was "Hello" in Chinese, which was not standard but touching.
The two talked for a long time, asked about each other's family situation, and the affection seemed to be gradually found back, because there were too many things to say, and they couldn't finish talking all day, So Rutham made an appointment with his aunt and grandmother, and then let his family and their family video know each other.
Afterwards, both Rutham and Xiong Shoulan expressed their gratitude to the reporters and translators.
Rutham also lamented that it is precisely because of the Internet that relatives who are far apart in this world can also have the opportunity to find each other.
In the future, Rusham will definitely return to China with his family to reunite with his relatives, and Xiong Shoulan will also go to Kazakhstan again because of the convenience of transportation.
And this time, they will never lose contact again.
