On the evening of May 16, 1979.
In the silence of the night, only the rhythm of the tide lapping on the shore, and the occasional burst of insects chirped.
Inside the station, there was a hectic scene.
The door of the dormitory of the deputy company commander of the second company of the fifth battalion, one
He clutched a classified document in his hand.
I urgently need to report to the top, but I can't say it.
Half an hour ago, the news of the mysterious disappearance of Lin Zhengyi, the commander of the second company, spread secretly among the troops.
He quickly calmed down and tried to analyze this bizarre incident.
"Company Commander Lin has always been diligent and loyal, this time maybe it's just that he's not familiar with the terrain, and he will come back safely soon......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly deployed a full-company search.
All the officers and men of the 2nd Company rushed out and dispersed, searching house to house along the coastline and village paths.
As the minutes passed, the deputy company commander's worries also increased in proportion to them.
In the early hours of the morning, the search and rescue operation still found nothing,
The deputy company commander stared uneasily at the hazy coastline opposite.
At this time, Lin Zhengyi was swimming hard in the rough Taiwan Strait.
It is getting closer and closer to the continent that he dreams of.
Ten Outstanding Young Persons
A piece of paradise - Yilan, Taiwan.
It's in this tranquil place.
In 1952, a new breath was ushered in - the birth of Lin Zhengyi.
Lin Zhengyi has been a good student with excellent character and learning since he was a child.
He has a strong interest in agricultural science.
This persistent ideal finally blossomed after he graduated from high school.
All the way, he was admitted to the Department of Agriculture and Industry of National Taiwan University, which is well-known throughout the province.
One step closer to the ideal.
No one would have expected that in Lin Zhengyi's sophomore year, when he was hungry and eager to study.
He suddenly made a decision and took the initiative to drop out of school and join the army.
This exciting decision has caused an uproar on campus and throughout Taiwan, and countless media have come to the hospital.
Even Jiang Jingguo, who has been Rong Ma all his life, made a special trip to meet this young man.
After graduating, Lin Zhengyi got his wish and entered the Army Military Academy.
Whether it is theoretical homework or actual combat exercises, all of them are admired by the division commander and classmates.
1978,
Assigned to the front-line islands and reefs - Mashan Sentry in Kinmen County.
Looking at each other across the sea, the heart is fascinated
The years went by like this.
Lin Zhengyi's garrison life on Kinmen Island has entered its second year.
however
Whenever night fell, Lin Zhengyi would secretly turn on the radio and carefully tune into the radio station on the mainland.
The radio repeatedly broadcast the struggle of the people of the mainland to unite as one, as well as the grand blueprint for the country to vigorously develop the economy and move toward prosperity and strength.
These inspiring words turned into a stream of heat.
It was injected into Lin Zhengyi's eager heart.
As a soldier, Lin Zhengyi has also seen the corruption rampant in the Kuomintang army in the past few years.
。
Lin Zhengyi was deeply disappointed by this.
In order to achieve true liberation and development, we must rely on the vast hot land of the motherland.
Based in Kinmen, Lin often stands on the beach and looks into the distance.
Across the sea,
Occasionally, when the breeze blows, those majestic scenery flashes in front of you like a marquee, which is fascinating.
Lin Zhengyi's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and an inexplicable affection and affection churned in his chest.
"At that time, I was in Kinmen, and then I looked at the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and I looked at this mountain every day, and I really had the feeling of being so delicate in the country, like a mother's call to her son!"
Day after day, I was exposed to the sonorous and powerful messages that came from the radio.
Lin Zhengyi's heart was surging.
An unprecedented bold idea began to take shape in his mind - to return to the mainland of the motherland!
A smile for the first time in a long time
The afternoon sun was scorching.
Not long ago, the timetable of high tide and low tide sent by him was carefully put away by him.
"At 4 p.m., the tide rises... At 10 p.m., the tide is low..."
Muttering and repeating these key time nodes, Lin Zhengyi finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.
In order to be able to be in the upcoming operation.
In the evening, pretending to be careless, he ordered the patrolling sentinels:
"There is a military exercise tonight, if you find someone swimming in the water, be sure not to shoot!"
The sentry was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Lin Zhengyi with a little puzzlement.
Eventually, he nodded his head as usual.
I saw Lin Zhengyi turn his back, his eyes resolute and decisive, as if he had made some major determination.
That's it
The hands of the clock, gradually moving towards 10 o'clock.
Lin Zhengyi took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the sea.
Carefully remove your outer garment, leaving only a dry pair of light underwear.
This is a moment that he has been preparing for a long time, and there must be no mistakes.
Looking down at his watch, Lin Zhengyi resolutely jumped into the turbulent current.
But he only seized the time, quickly adjusted his breathing, and began to swim forward as fast as he could.
Lin Zhengyi's target is Jiaoyu Island, which is located in the southeast corner of Kinmen Island, less than two kilometers away.
It's not a long flight, but it's a daunting challenge.
He tried his best, his arms kept paddling, and waves stirred up behind him.
Occasionally, the sea water will overflow overhead.
Kelin Zhengyi can always quickly surface with amazing perseverance and continue to move forward.
That's it
His chest rose and fell violently, and his arms were sore.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the mainland soldiers discovered this tiny point of light.
Lin Zhengyi shouted loudly:
"I'm a company commander on Kinmen Island, and I'm going to surrender to Cheng!"
At the same time, there was an uproar at the Mashan sentry.
I haven't seen Lin Zhengyi for a long time, and everyone realized that something big had happened.
Rummaging through the island,
Only then did he suddenly wake up - Lin Zhengyi actually swam to the embrace of the motherland!
Brand new - Lin Yifu
In order to avoid arousing the suspicion and investigation of the Kuomintang.
He changed to a brand new name - Lin Yifu.
He has devoted all his efforts to absorbing one cutting-edge academic knowledge after another, and has laid a solid theoretical foundation for the construction of the motherland in the future.
After the successful completion of his studies, Lin
The tribulated couple, who have been separated for four years, are finally reunited in a foreign country.
Everyone present burst into tears.
He soon received his Ph.D.
could have earned a high salary in the United States, but he was dragged back to Beijing by the voice of the motherland.
Entourage,
After returning to China, Lin Yifu and several like-minded returnees founded the China Economic Research Center at Peking University.
Since then, he has really thrown himself into the wave of reform and opening up.
In 2008, the former Kuomintang soldier, who was once seen as a "runaway".
He was taken over by the international community and served as the vice president of the World Bank, which can be described as a promising future.
