The year 1981 was a year full of turning points and hope for many revolutionaries of the older generation who had experienced ups and downs. This year, as the spring breeze of reform and opening up gradually blew across the land of China, the state's policies began to be relaxed, and many relatives who had been separated from the two sides of the strait for a long time due to historical reasons were able to reunite. Against this backdrop, Mr. Shen is about to embark on a journey to visit his relatives in Hong Kong, which for him is not only a simple family reunion, but also a journey of emotions and beliefs.
The years go up and down, and the old people reunite
Drunk, the name has a complex and profound imprint in recent history. He was an important figure in the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau, experienced wars and political storms, and finally experienced a major change in his life in the torrent of the times. In 1981, when he learned that he had the opportunity to visit his long-lost relatives in Hong Kong, his heart was filled with indescribable excitement and emotion. This excitement is not only a desire for family affection, but also a review and relief of those turbulent years.
Du Yuming's parting words
Just as he prepares to set off on his journey, the appearance of an old friend adds a special meaning to his journey. Du Yuming, the veteran general who once fought side by side with Shen Zui on the battlefield, is now an old man who has experienced vicissitudes. When the two met, the past was like smoke, but it was vivid. Du Yuming held Shen Drunk's hand tightly, his eyes were full of concern and expectation, and he repeatedly advised: "Keep the evening festival." This sentence, short and heavy, contains deep concern for friends and a deep understanding of the changes of the times.
The deep meaning behind "keeping the evening festival".
"Keep the evening festival", these four words are not only a requirement for personal morality, but also a deep reflection and self-expectation of a generation of people on historical responsibility in the context of that era. For a historical figure like Shen Zui, visiting relatives in Hong Kong is not only a release of personal feelings, but also a re-examination of one's own identity and historical positioning. Du Yuming's advice is to hope that Shen Zui can show a positive image in his later years, whether it is for his family or society, he can show an open-mindedness and wisdom that is beyond the past history.
An emotional bond that transcends time and space
This time I went to Hong Kong, not only to reunite with my relatives, but also to carry a historical mission. In that special era, the fate of many people was determined by the tide of the times, and the friendship between Shen Zui and Du Yuming transcended political positions and historical grievances, and became a bridge connecting the past and the future. Their stories are a microcosm of the fate of countless families and individuals in that era, reflecting how individuals find their place in the changes of the times and how to find a balance between family and the country under the great wheel of history.
Reconciliation and prospects
A drunken trip to Hong Kong is not only a trip to visit relatives, but also a spiritual homecoming. In the reunion with his family, he felt the warmth and peace that he had not felt for a long time, which made him more confident in his future life. Du Yuming's advice is like a lighthouse, guiding him to continue to move forward, no matter what stage of life, he must maintain the purity of his heart and his adherence to justice.
As the years go by, the wheels of history roll forward. The story of Shen Zui and Du Yuming is a profound revelation of the complex human nature of that particular historical period, and it is also a revelation to those who come after it: in the torrent of history, personal choices and attitudes are crucial. By maintaining the late festival, Shen Zui showed the world how to live with dignity and value in his old age, leaving a valuable spiritual wealth for future generations.
