On an ordinary day in 2019, Zhang Yuchen, who lives in Taiwan, China, accidentally found a stack of yellowed old letters and some old photos in his home. At first, he didn't pay much attention to these things, but thought they were probably old things left behind by his father.
However, after careful scrutiny, Zhang Yuchen's eyes gradually froze on the strange but familiar woman in the photo. This young and beautiful woman gives people a very intimate and extremely distant feeling, like a long-lost relative in the blood.
What surprised him even more was that on the back of the photo was written "Respectfully present my husband Zhang Guochen: beloved daughter and loving mother".
Suddenly, Zhang Yuchen's brain was buzzing, and his blood seemed to be coagulated.
The confusion in his heart surged towards Zhang Yuchen like a surging wave, and he trembled uncontrollably, with tears in his eyes. His father, Zhang Guochen, never revealed the secrets of this family to him before his death, and now the family relationship has been buried deep in time and is nowhere to be found.
Zhang Yuchen was full of remorse, hating that he was too cold to his father back then and missed many opportunities to trace the roots.
Just when he was becoming more and more confused, another family letter neatly written with a fountain pen in the envelope jumped on the paper: "I set off for Taiwan on the XX day of the XX year of Wuqin, hoping to revisit my hometown with my beloved wife and daughter one day。。。。。 Qinzhou will always be a place where I am concerned, and maybe there will be a day when our sister and brother will meet again.
These resounding words were like a slap in the face, completely waking Zhang Yuchen up from his maze! It turned out that his father's former hometown was in Qinzhou, Guangxi, on the mainland of the motherland, and he also had a sister there.
In this way, with the infinite expectation of regaining family affection after being lost, Zhang Yuchen was high-spirited and embarked on a long road to find his relatives.
Zhang Guochen, who left his hometown of Qinzhou and went to Taiwan to work hard, was only in his early twenties. He was born in an ordinary Qinzhou farming family, and the bits and pieces of his childhood are slowly spread out on the familiar land of the motherland.
At that time, Taiwan's economy developed rapidly and was regarded as a "rising star". Affected by many factors, Zhang Guochen, like countless young people, resolutely left his hometown and went to Taiwan to pursue new opportunities with the dream of changing his fate.
Just as he was packing simple and packing his bags, a letter suddenly came from home - it turned out that his first wife was pregnant, and a new life was about to arrive in this world.
Although I was shocked, deep down I was looking forward to the unborn child.
From then on, everything has to start all over again. Zhang Guochen quickened the pace of running, he knew that he would have to take charge of himself and shoulder the burden of the family. Before parting, he visited the hut several times, trying to see his wife and children again, but everything was hasty and regrettable.
In this way, after working hard in Taiwan for many years, Zhang Guochen finally saved a considerable amount of money and decided to settle down in Taiwan. But the relationship with his wife and daughter is still far away, and their father and daughter, who are separated from each other, can only rely on remittances and occasional letters to maintain their bonds.
I don't know if it was the trick of fate or the impermanence of life, in that turbulent era, Zhang Guochen's wife took the first step, and his young daughter Zhang Dong could only temporarily live in a relative's house.
Since then, the already slender sister and brother family relationship has been gradually separated by the wheel of life and almost cut off.
After that, Zhang Guochen met his second wife in Taiwan and gave birth to a son Zhang Yuchen in her womb. The family of three lives a peaceful life, but in the end an important part is missing - his bond with his Taiwanese daughter is completely isolated by the journey of life.
The years have flown by, and it is 2024 in the blink of an eye. For Zhang Yuchen and Zhang Dong, sisters and brothers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, four years seem to have slipped away from their fingers with a flick of their fingers.
From the initial strangeness to the present day, they have conquered the distance of the years with family affection, and have long gone from an unfamiliar relationship to an intimate one. However, what is sad is that the regret of the death of both parents is destined to not be able to reunite with them again, and can only find a trace of warmth in each other.
Although the relationship between the siblings is so deep that they need no words, the past two years or so have prevented them from reuniting due to the epidemic. The reunion plan originally scheduled for the National Day was forced to be cancelled.
Faced with the obstacles separating the two sides of the strait, Zhang Yuchen and Zhang Dong can only meet through video, but there is no substitute for the warm embrace that is as close as face-to-face. Whenever he thinks of his sister's figure, Zhang Yuchen always feels a faint sadness in his heart, for fear of losing this family affection forever.
Being trapped in different parts of the world made the two sisters and brothers look forward to the day when the reunification of the motherland will come as soon as possible. Only when the barrier between the east and the west no longer exists, can they freely swim in this land and live a reunion time that will never last.
Yes, the affection for each other will never be extinguished in their hearts. Just as the waves of the sea never cease to crash against the shore, their anticipation of reunion never stops.
And when the day of national reunification comes, it will definitely become the happiest moment in the lives of the sisters and brothers.
In June 2019, Zhang Yuchen, who had not met for many years, finally mustered up the courage to hand over the task of finding his long-lost sister to the police in Qinzhou, Guangxi.
For that unreachable continent, he was full of fear and anxiety about the unknown.
The person who took over this special commission was Officer Lao Min of the Qinzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. He couldn't help but frown when he saw the stack of yellowed old photos and vague clues.
Time has passed, and finding the past is not easy. However, as a servant of the people, he still clearly expressed his determination and will do his best.
Lao Min first locked on the clue of "Beiying Village" where his father lived in Zhang Yuchen's mouth, and soon found out the general area of this village. Next, it is the most critical and difficult field visit.
Lao Min's family visited the family and warmly and earnestly asked the villagers if they knew Zhang Guochen's family in the photo. Surprisingly, almost none of them knew of their existence.
In the face of many obstacles, Lao Min was not discouraged, but became more and more courageous, and began to investigate the whereabouts of Zhang Guochen, a key figure.
As soon as it was verified, Zhang Dong immediately recognized his younger brother Zhang Yuchen from his father's old photos, and tears fell on the spot. The family of three was ruthlessly blocked by life at that time, and now they can finally be reunited, she has mixed feelings and is beyond words.
After learning the good news, Zhang Yuchen also burst into tears on the spot. He could never have imagined that in the face of despair, there would be such a surprise and hope for rebirth! At the moment, he immediately dialed the phone number of his sister Zhang Dong, and heard her kind and familiar voice, as if it was in his ears.
"Sister, I've finally found you......!
There were tears on the phone, and the two agreed to hold a grand family reunion ceremony on Zhang Yuchen's birthday.
On October 9, 2019, the long-awaited reunion finally arrived. Zhang Yuchen was excited and took a flight to Qinzhou. The feeling of returning home for the first time shocked him, and every grass and tree in his hometown seemed to be opening a warm embrace to him.
Under the arrangement of the Qinzhou police, Zhang Yuchen finally met with his sister Zhang Dong. I saw that my sister was already anxiously waiting at the door, and I saw my younger brother in the distance, tears rolling in her eyes.
As soon as they met, the two hugged each other tightly, tears welled up in their eyes, and the joy of reunion after a long absence was beyond words.
After a moment of kissing, Zhang Dong opened his mouth to tell his younger brother about his parents......
