But after Xiao Tianrun was promoted to deputy captain, he gradually became a different person, he began to be arrogant, no one in sight, and ignored the discipline in the army, went out to spend days drinking, drunk and gold. Xiao Tianrun heard from a friend that the nightlife in Taiwan is very exciting, which aroused Xiao Tianrun's great interest. Since then, Xiao Tianrun has begun to plan to defect by pilot.

Xiao Tianrun

After Xiao Tianrun arrived in Taiwan, he continued to rank lieutenant colonel in the Air Force until 2001, when he was promoted to colonel. The reason for the promotion is said to be that when Xiao Tianrun accompanied the then commander-in-chief of the Taiwan Air Force to the United States, he was recognized by the Americans because of his objective analysis of China's military situation, so after returning to Taiwan, he was rewarded by the commander-in-chief of the Air Force and allowed for promotion. In 2005, Xiao Tianrun was transferred to the Air Force Aeronautical Technology College, and in 2010, he retired from the army at the rank of colonel or above, and is now transferred to a civilian instructor.
