Before exploring the story of Fu Ya's solo trip to Taiwan in 1992, we need to go back to a more turbulent era, the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the subsequent Kuomintang-Communist Civil War. In 1937, with the outbreak of the "77 Incident", China fell into a full-scale war of resistance with Japan. At this turning point in history, numerous heroes and extraordinary stories have emerged across the country.
Fu Ya was born in a scholarly family in Jiangxi, and her family background provided her with a good educational environment. It was these circumstances, as well as her sensitivity to social realities, that led her to develop a deep concern for the fate of her country at a young age. The 129 Movement of 1935, especially the energetic Communist youth in this movement, deeply influenced her and prompted her to decide to join the great cause of resistance against Japan and liberation.
At that time, joining the Communist Party meant giving up one's comfortable life and facing unknown hardships and dangers. Together with her brother, Fu Ya resolutely went to Yan'an, joined the Red Army, and became an indispensable force in the War of Resistance Against Japan. During her time in Yan'an, Fu Ya not only studied military and political knowledge, but also participated in literary and artistic work, and her life and thinking underwent great changes.
In the spring of 1992, a plane bound for Taipei landed quietly on the runway of Taoyuan International Airport. The cabin door slowly opened, and a white-haired old man, Fu Ya, staggered off the plane. Despite her age, her eyes still reveal determination and expectation. Coming to Taiwan, for Fu Ya, is not only a simple trip, but also a profound look back - looking back at the great revolution she devoted herself to when she was young.
When Fu Ya walked out of the airport, the Taipei sun shone on her face, and a group of warm greeters were already waiting outside. Some of them are old comrades-in-arms, some are young researchers, and they all come from both sides of the strait and are looking forward to the visit of this old revolutionary.
"Elder Fu, welcome! We have been waiting for you for a long time!" said one of the greeters excitedly.
In the face of such a warm welcome, Fu Ya's heart was full of emotion, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. She looked at the car in front of her and said softly, "There are so many cars coming to pick it up at once, I don't even know which one to get into." This sentence is not only an exclamation for the scene in front of her, but also a metaphor for her life's journey.
During his few days in Taipei, Fu Ya visited many historical sites and had in-depth exchanges with scholars and students from Taiwan. She recounted her revolutionary experiences, especially with her late husband, Chen Geng, and her hopes for the future of China's reunification and peace.
A few days of travel passed quickly, and Fu Ya's visit to Taiwan was coming to an end. The night before she left, the organizers threw her a farewell dinner. At the dinner, many participants spoke one after another, expressing their respect for Fu Ya and their touching of her story.
"Elder Fu, your story is not only a memory of the past, but also a beacon for us to move forward. A young scholar said. After hearing this, Fu Ya smiled, her eyes flashing with wisdom.
"Young man, history is yours. Learn from our stories, but remember that the future is written by you. Fu Ya said slowly in her trembling voice.
The next day, Fu Ya stepped on the plane home again. When the plane slowly lifted off and gradually disappeared into the clouds, what was left to the people of Taiwan was not only her figure, but also her lifelong unswerving belief and hope for a peaceful future.
Fu Ya's story is a legend that transcends time and space, and she is not only a witness to history, but also a creator of history. Her life is the pursuit of ideals and the persistence of beliefs, as well as endless longing for the future.
Today, when we look back on Fu Ya's story, we not only see the struggle and sacrifice of a woman in turbulent times, but also a kind of reconciliation and bridge across historical differences. Her journey reminds us that despite the contradictions and challenges of the past, shared memories and understanding can be the cornerstones of our future together.
Through Fu Ya's eyes, we are able to glimpse into the depths of history, and through her story, we are inspired that no matter how the environment changes, continuous faith and the pursuit of peace are always the common goals of mankind. As Fu Ya said, history belongs to young people, but its lessons belong to everyone. In this sense, Fu Ya is not only a witness to history, but also an inspirer of the future.
