preface
Xu Hanguang is a brave and resilient person. He was sent to Taiwan on a mission, and after more than forty years of hard work, Xu Hanguang finally set foot on mainland soil again.
At that time, he and his wife separated after only nine days of marriage, but when they came back, they were already full of children and grandchildren.
Xie Hanguang
Xie Hanguang has shown keen observation and excellent learning ability since he was a child.
He was a diligent and studious child, often working in his fields while finding time to read and study.
His thirst for knowledge and self-discipline allowed him to advance academically.
Xie Hanguang's family saw his talent and hard work and actively supported his education. They understand the importance of education and do their best to provide Xie Hanguang with learning opportunities and resources.
Although their families are average, they believe that through education, Xie Hanguang can break the shackles of fate and pursue a better future.
In 1938, Xie Hanguang was successfully admitted to the forestry major of the College of Agriculture of Guangxi University. The college campus provided him with a broad stage to meet some like-minded people.
Among them, he met Chen Zhonghao and Zhang Bozhe, and because of their mutual interests and ideas, they quickly became the best brothers.
In his dealings with these friends, Xie Hanguang began to secretly participate in some anti-Japanese activities.
This contact stimulated a deep desire for revolution in his heart and planted the seeds of revolution.
Xie Hanguang farm work
In 1942, after graduating from Guangxi University, Xie Hanguang chose to stay and work on a farm in Guilin.
Due to his outstanding performance, he was soon promoted to director of the farm.
This position provided him with the perfect cover while also facilitating his work underground.
Xie Hanguang used his identity as the director of the farm as a cover to gradually develop the farm into an underground intelligence station.
During the War of Resistance, Xie Hanguang showed his bravery and loyalty, taking on dangerous missions and transmitting important information.
Liuzhou Farm became the stronghold of secret anti-Japanese organizations and underground parties.
As a farm director, Xie Hanguang used his resources and position to facilitate party activities.
Although he himself is not a member of the party, he has a strong sense of mission burning in his heart.
He worked closely with other Party members on the farm to plan and execute anti-Japanese activities.
In 1944, after the fall of Guilin by the Japanese army in 1944, Xie Hanguang was forced to join countless refugees who fled and trekked towards Sichuan.
The whole journey is full of hardships and hardships, and every step is a challenge to life.
As a farm director, Xie Hanguang's income is also far more than that of ordinary people.
However, instead of treating these fortunes as personal private property, he chose to donate all his savings to patriots and the anti-Japanese cause.
This gesture shows Xie Hanguang's noble quality and selfless spirit.
Despite such generous donations, Xie Hanguang fell into extreme poverty when he eventually had to flee.
Even a simple steamed bun became a luxury, his possessions and resources were exhausted, and he was left with only the fatigue and hardship caused by war and flight.
He spent the entire journey begging to make ends meet.
Fortunately, he had the tenacity to save his life under difficult circumstances.
In Sichuan, Xie Hanguang met his old friend, and he helped Xie connect with a school that created a new job opportunity for him.
With the help of his old classmates, Xie Hanguang was able to enter the school as a teacher.
After a hard war of resistance, in August 1945, the War of Resistance Against Japan was won.
Japan had to announce its unconditional surrender, which also meant that Taiwan was reconciled and freed from the suffering of Japanese colonial rule.
Xie Hanguang meets his wife
One day on October 25, 1945, Xie Hanguang unexpectedly received a letter from a teacher at Guangxi University.
In the letter, the teacher told him that he was going to work at a forestry research institute in Taiwan and expressed the hope that Xie Hanguang would go to Taiwan to work as his assistant.
Xie Hanguang knew that this was a valuable opportunity to develop in his professional field and contribute to the scientific cause.
So, he accepted the teacher's invitation without hesitation.
In order to travel to Taiwan, Xie Hanguang had to make a tortuous journey. He first traveled to Hong Kong, from where he prepared to take a boat to Taiwan.
During his stay in Hong Kong, he unexpectedly met a young girl.
They are similar in age and have very similar values and interests, which makes them fall in love quickly. They are close to each other, support and understand each other, and their feelings gradually heat up.
At the beginning of the second year, Xie Hanguang tied the knot with this girl and began a beautiful husband and wife life.
However, on the ninth day when Xie Hanguang and his wife tied the knot, Su Hui, the head of the South China branch of the Communist Party of China in Hong Kong, suddenly found him.
Mr. Su said without mincing that Mr. Xie, who had helped the underground workers of the Chinese Communist Party, had gone to college and now hoped he would be able to go to Taiwan to do more urgent underground work.
He realized that this decision would not only have a profound impact on his own life, but would also bring great tests to his family and marriage.
However, he is also well aware of his previous help and vision for the cause of the Communist Party, and he has the responsibility to continue to support and contribute his strength.
Xie Hanguang's heart was filled with endless worries and uncertainties.
He understands that this departure may mean that he will face a test of life and death, and he does not know when he will return, or even if he will be able to return alive.
He told his wife that he had a difficult task and needed to leave the family temporarily, and before parting, he told her that she must wait for him to return.
Xie Hanguang came to Taiwan
In early 1946, Xie Hanguang came to Taiwan and was arranged by his teacher to work at the Taiwan Forestry Laboratory.
In this new position, Xie Hanguang showed excellent work performance and was unanimously recognized by colleagues.
With his solid professional knowledge and diligent work attitude, he has made an important contribution to the development of the laboratory.
This performance created favorable conditions for him to lurk for a long time.
In early 1947, through the introduction of Communist Party member Zhang Bozhe, Xie Hanguang finally became a member of the Communist Party of China.
In addition, the other two members of his group, Chen Zhonghao and Liang Zhengqing, were also sent to Taiwan to form a close-knit team.
After some time, Xie Hanguang's teacher was promoted and transferred to work elsewhere.
After his departure, Shehan took over as director of the institute.
This provided a huge boost to Xie Hanguang's underground work and provided important support for the smooth development of the party's various tasks, but at this time an accident happened.
Xie Hanguang fled to the mountain village
The arrest of Tsai Xiaoqian, secretary of the Taiwan Work Committee of the Communist Party of China, holds an important position in the party and holds important information such as lurking locations and personnel lists.
His betrayal led to the exposure of confidential information of the party organization, causing great losses and damage to the party and underground work.
As a result of Cai Xiaoqian's rebellion, more than 400 comrades-in-arms were brutally killed, more than 1,800 people associated with him were implicated, and the party organization was seriously damaged.
During the chase, Xie Hanguang's old classmate Zhang Bozhe also died tragically. Before his death, Zhang Bozhe wrote a letter to Xie Hanguang, warning him to escape as soon as possible, because the Nationalist army had arrested thousands of agents.
While fleeing pursuit, Xie Hanguang accidentally met a farmer named Yang Xibo.
Yang Xibo was kind-hearted and did not hesitate to take in Xie Hanguang.
In order to protect his true identity from being discovered, Xie Hanguang had to lie to Yang Xibo, claiming that he was a deserter of the Kuomintang.
In order to better hide his identity, Xie Hanguang decided to use the identity of Ye Yikui, who disappeared a year ago in the village, with the help of the village chief.
He applied for Ye Yikui's ID card and household registration information, and since then Xie Hanguang has become Ye Yikui.
Xie Hanguang settled in this village as Ye Yikui. He actively integrated into the daily life of the villagers and often helped them with their work.
With the agricultural knowledge he learned at university, he also taught villagers the skills of scientific farming to improve the yield and quality of crops.
Over time, Xie Hanguang's popularity in the village became better and better, and he established a deep emotional bond with the villagers.
Several ladies in the village began to think about him and wanted to help him find a suitable partner.
However, when Xie Hanguang heard the news, he immediately rejected the proposal.
Although he had a good life in the village, he always thought about his wife, whom he had married.
His wife was an important part of his life, and his love and thoughts for her never diminished.
Therefore, no matter how the ladies in the village persuaded, Xie Hanguang stuck to his heart and rejected their kindness.
Since 1987, although Taiwan has not been able to achieve its return to the mainland, cross-strait relations have gradually eased.
It was at the end of that year that the Taiwan authorities made a major decision -- announcing the opening of channels for visiting relatives on the mainland.
In 1988. Xie Hanguang, who is already old, embarked on a journey back to his hometown in this year.
Xie Hanguang embarked on the journey home with trepidation.

After 42 years of separation, he can only rely on vague memories to find where his wife is.
When he knocked on the door, his heart was full of anxiety and unease, wondering if there had been a new occupant.
However, when the door slowly opened, Xie Hanguang was shocked by the scene in front of him.
He saw his wife, who was actually waiting for him unwaveringly. The 42-year separation did not shake her, and she kept watch over the home, waiting for his return.
Xie Hanguang was touched by his wife's firmness and affection, and they hugged each other, tears moistening their cheeks.
When they separated, his wife was pregnant. Faced with her husband's parting and unknown fate, she chose to face everything bravely.
Alone, brought this son into the world.
Today, Xie Hanguang's son has also started a family and has three lovely children.
Later, with the careful help of Chen Zhonghao, Xie Hanguang's identity was recognized and reviewed by the organization.
After some hard work, he was able to reinstate his status as a party member, which made him feel extremely gratified, and at the same time, he was treated as a retired cadre.
