In 1988, in a small city in Taiwan, an elderly man set out on his way home. He is an underground party that has been lurking in Taiwan for 42 years, and after hiding for so many years with a false identity, he finally has a chance to return home.
When he stood in front of the familiar door, his heart was mixed. The door opened, and a gray-haired woman appeared before him. Seeing him, a look of surprise immediately appeared on the woman's face: "You're finally back!"
The man stared at the woman, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart. He found that although 42 years had passed, the woman in front of him was still the new wife he remembered.
"I ...... I am back. The man choked up and said, "I'm sorry I kept you waiting so long." ”
The woman smiled softly and patted his hand gently: "It's good to come back, I've been waiting for your words." ”
When they met again, the excitement and emotion were beyond words. Looking at his wife, who was already full of children and grandchildren, this underground party comrade burst into tears.
Xie Hanguang, a veritable hero, has left a strong mark in the torrent of history. His story is full of legends and makes people sigh.
Back then, Xie Hanguang, the newlywed Yan'er, developed a deep relationship with his wife in getting along day and night. However, happy days are always short-lived. One day, his superiors issued an urgent task, requiring Xie Hanguang to immediately go to Taiwan to carry out an undercover mission.
Faced with this sudden order, Xie Hanguang hesitated, knowing that this would mean a long separation from his family. However, he is well aware of the importance of his mission, and he must stand up for the future of his country and nation.
On the occasion of saying goodbye, he held his wife's hand tightly: "I will definitely come back, you must wait for me." ”
His wife was teary-eyed, but replied firmly, "I will wait for you until you return safely." ”
After Xie Hanguang left in a hurry, his wife began a long and lonely wait.
So what did Xie Hanguang experience during this period, and why did he wait 42 years before coming back?
In 1942, Xie Hanguang successfully graduated from the College of Agriculture of Guangxi University, talented and full of enthusiasm, with a determination to dedicate himself to the country and the people.
After graduating, he skillfully used his identity as a farmer as a cover, and provided great help to our party in transmitting intelligence and rescuing comrades.
Thanks to his efforts, Liuzhou Farm has not only become a stage for him to display his talents, but also an underground liaison station for our party in the southwest region. A lot of important information and materials were transferred and assembled here, making an indelible contribution to the development of the revolutionary cause.
After that, under the call of the party, Xie Hanguang devoted himself to underground work without hesitation and became an intelligence officer.
However, due to the turbulent situation at the time, in order to ensure his safety, he was arranged to work as a teacher in a school.
It was at this school that Xie Hanguang met a young, gentle, and compassionate woman. The woman's name is Zeng Xiuping and she is a teacher at the school. She is kind, considerate, and takes good care of Xie Hanguang. The two were like-minded and soon became friends who talked about everything.
One day, the two were chatting on a bench on campus. Xie Hanguang looked at her affectionately and said, "I think we have a lot in common. Would you like to go down with me?"
Zeng Xiuping lowered her head shyly, and then nodded lightly: "I do." ”
With the help of local villagers, they decided to hold hands and spend the rest of their lives together. On the day of the wedding, Xie Hanguang held her hand tightly: "At this special moment, we can't go back to our hometown to reunite with our relatives. But I know that having you by my side is the warmest support. ”
Who knows, just 8 days after the two got married, Xie Hanguang received a phone call that changed his fate. The organization invited him to work in a farm laboratory in Taiwan, which was an opportunity he never imagined, but it was also a difficult choice.
He looked at his newlywed wife beside him, and his heart was full of contradictions and reluctance. On the one hand, there is a sweet marriage that has just begun, and on the other hand, there is a secret mission of the party, and he can't choose for a while.
Just when he was confused, his college teacher found him. The teacher said to him, "Han Guang, you have always been my best student. This mission is crucial and has a bearing on the future and security of the motherland. You are going to Taiwan to collect intelligence for the organization and contribute to the stability of the motherland. ”
Xie Hanguang was silent for a moment, and then replied firmly: "Teacher, I understand. For the sake of the stability and prosperity of my motherland, I am willing to accept this challenge. ”
Before leaving, Xie Hanguang had an affectionate conversation with his wife. He held his wife's hand tightly, with a little reluctance in his eyes: "I don't know when I will return, I hope you can find a good person in the future and spend a sweet little life with him." Don't be a widow for me, live your life well. ”
When his wife heard this, her eyes turned red, and she looked up at Xie Hanguang: "How can you talk like this? No matter where you are, my heart will always be with you. ”
Xie Hanguang was moved in his heart, but he was a little helpless: "It's not that I don't want you to be happy, it's just that you are on the battlefield, and life and death are unpredictable." I just want you to think a little more about yourself. ”
The wife replied firmly, "I understand your concerns, but my mind is up. I'll be waiting for you here, no matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you to come back. ”
When the time of parting finally came, Xie Hanguang stood at the end of the line, looking at his wife, with mixed feelings in his heart. He took a deep breath and held back his tears: "Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back!"
His wife was teary-eyed, but nodded with a slight smile: "I will, you have to take care of yourself." ”
Xie Hanguang turned around and walked away with the team. He knew that this farewell might be an eternal farewell, but he still walked towards the unknown battlefield with firm faith.
Subsequently, Xie Hanguang took a boat to Taiwan, and the organization knew that agriculture was his strength, so they arranged for him to work in the Forestry Experimental Institute.
Soon after arriving in Taiwan, Xie Hanguang received news from the organization that his comrade-in-arms Zhang Bozhe was about to arrive in Taiwan to serve as secretary of the Taichung Regional Working Committee of the Communist Party of China. Xie Hanguang was overjoyed in his heart, he was well aware of Zhang Bozhe's ability and loyalty, and knew that his arrival would certainly bring new opportunities to the work of the underground party.
Soon after, Zhang Bozhe successfully arrived in Taiwan. The two were thrilled to see each other. Xie Hanguang clasped Zhang Bozhe's hand and said, "Old Zhang, I'm finally waiting for you." The situation here is more complicated than you think, and we need your help. ”
Zhang Bozhe nodded and said seriously: "Hanguang, don't worry. I will do my best to contribute to the work of the underground party. ”
Under Xie Hanguang's arrangement, Zhang Bozhe settled down in the Lianhuachi branch, and he quietly started his work as an ordinary clerk. He went deep into the grassroots and maintained close ties with his comrades, laying a solid foundation for the development of the underground party.
Thanks to the joint efforts of Hsieh Hanguang and Zhang Bozhe, the influence of the underground party in Taiwan has been expanding day by day.
Originally, everything seemed to be calm, and even in the second year, Xie Hanguang was affirmed by the organization and honorably joined the Communist Party of China.
However, when the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, the situation in Taiwan changed dramatically. In order to maintain its dominant position, the Kuomintang began to vigorously suppress and arrest underground party members.
At this critical moment, some undetermined party members chose to betray, and they did not hesitate to betray our party comrades in order to make a living.
One day in the early 1950s, Xie Hanguang stumbled upon a mysterious letter from Zhang Bozhe.
He carefully opened the envelope and found that it was clearly written on the letterhead: "Han Guang, the crisis is imminent, leave the work unit quickly, find another hiding place, and the letter comes with 30 yuan of latent funds, cherish!" Although the handwriting is short, each stroke reveals tension and caution.
Xie Hanguang's heart tightened, he understood that this was an urgent order issued by the organization. He quickly packed his bags, knowing full well that time was running out for him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the spies to break into Xie Hanguang's residence and search for his traces. However, at this time, Xie Hanguang had already disappeared in the vast sea of people.
After escaping from the Forestry Laboratory, Xie Hanguang fled all the way to Taitung and finally came to a small remote village. He claimed to have fled from central Taiwan in the hope of making a living here.
Although this small village is remote, the residents are simple and kind. Xie Hanguang walked into the village tiredly and asked an old man who was working, "Uncle, are there any job opportunities here?"
The old man raised his head and looked at him with eyes full of vicissitudes, "Where are you from?"
"I ......" Xie Hanguang hesitated slightly, "I fled from central Taiwan, and there was a fire in my home and I had nothing. ”
The old man nodded, and did not ask any more, "There is an orchard in the village that needs help, if you want, you can stay." ”
In this way, Xie Hanguang started working as a temporary worker in the orchard. I get up early every day to work and chat with the villagers. Although life was difficult, he always maintained an optimistic attitude. He knows that he is ready to give anything whenever the organization needs it.
In this way, Xie Hanguang temporarily settled in this small village and began his latent career.
Since that day, he has continued to lurk in Taiwan as Ye Yikui. However, the loss of contact with the organization made him move forward in loneliness and confusion. Whenever night fell, Xie Hanguang would stand at the entrance of the village, looking in the direction of the mainland, and muttered to himself: "I must go back, I must find the organization." ”
However, the tense situation between the two sides of the strait has made the shipping routes closed, and there is little hope of returning to the mainland. Whenever someone asked about his family, he would always be silent for a moment and then say, "One day, I will go back." ”
During his days in Taiwan, many enthusiasts introduced Xie Hanguang to his partners, but he declined them one by one. Whenever someone mentioned this, he always said firmly: "I have someone in my heart, and she is waiting for me." ”
This persistent belief supports him to hold on to hope in the face of difficulties.
Finally, in 1988, Xie Hanguang decided to take a false identity and ventured back to his hometown. With the memory of his hometown, he finally returned to the place that haunted him with tears in his eyes: "After 42 years, I finally came back." ”
Standing in front of the familiar village, he was filled with emotion. Nothing seems to have changed, but everything seems to have changed. He found his home with his memory and saw that familiar figure - Zeng Xiuping.
When Xie Hanguang saw the familiar scene again, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He said with emotion: "After so many years, I am finally back. ”
At this time, his wife Zeng Xiuping came over and said with tears in her eyes: "Hanguang, you have suffered. ”
Hanguang hugged his wife tightly and choked up, "Xiuping, do you know? I have been missing you all these years. ”
The wife's eyes widened, she was stunned for a moment, and then tears fell: "I waited for you, I waited for 42 years." ”
At that moment, a thousand words in the hearts of the two turned into a simple hug. The middle-aged man in the room heard the voice and walked out to see his father, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Dad?"
Zeng Xiuping gently stroked Xie Hanguang's face, "Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight." You see, our son has grown up, and so has our grandson. ”
Xie Hanguang's eyes widened, "Really?
"Well," my wife smiled and nodded, "I was pregnant when you left. Now the son has a family and a family, and the grandson is healthy and lovely. ”
After listening to his wife's words, Xie Hanguang suddenly realized.
In his later years, Xie Hanguang regained his party membership and enjoyed the treatment of a retired cadre.
In 1996, Xie Hanguang completed his legendary life. His life was full of perseverance and waiting, and his story is admirable. Let's pay tribute to this hero!
