In 1986, Bai Chongxi's daughter "sneaked" into the mainland, thinking that no one had discovered it, but in fact it had already been exposed, and the time went back to the 80s of the last century, and cross-strait relations were gradually easing. However, in this special historical period, Bai Xianhui, the daughter of Bai Chongxi, a former Kuomintang general, has an "unspeakable" secret wish: she wants to sneak back to the mainland, return to her hometown Guilin, and fulfill her father's long-cherished wish during his lifetime.
As a veteran general under Chiang Kai-shek, Bai Chongxi's identity made Bai Xianhui hesitate about this matter for many years. In the end, she made up her mind, and in order to let her father's soul return to her hometown, she had to be cautious, disguise, and sneak back to her homeland secretly. However, as soon as she set foot on her homeland, an unexpected reality emerged: her identity had already been exposed! How will she respond to this unexpected development?
In the 80s of the last century, China was in the tide of reform and opening up. This mighty force from the motherland has not only promoted the vigorous development of the domestic economy and society, edified countless people to reshape their ideological concepts, but also swept away the bumps and estrangements in cross-strait relations over the years. Once upon a time, the deep chasm in the Taiwan Strait seemed insurmountable, but now the sound of each other's breathing can be heard on the other side of the strait.
In 1986, a war film called "Taierzhuang" was released on the mainland. This film recreates an important battle during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and portrays the scene of several national army generals including Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren LinkedIn bravely killing the enemy. Although there is no partiality in the film, the mainland's objective evaluation of the former enemy's heroic resistance to the enemy, as well as the goodwill to express reconciliation, deeply touched Bai Xianhui, the daughter of Bai Chongxi, who is in Taiwan.
Bai Xianhui's father, Bai Chongxi, was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant general. What is terrifying is that this general, who had made great achievements, was destroyed and plotted by the Jiang dynasty in his later years. On his deathbed, Bai Chongxi's only regret was that he could not return to his hometown Guilin to see the changes in the motherland for the last time.
The film rang the bell for Bai Xianhui to return to his hometown. Although her special identity has made her uneasy for decades, the heart that wants to do her filial piety for her father and let him be relieved under Jiuquan always lingers in her heart. After repeated thinking and the support and encouragement of relatives and friends, Bai Xianhui finally began to prepare for this "secret" operation.
In the summer of 1986, in order to hide her identity as much as possible, Bai Xianhui disguised herself as an ordinary peasant woman, first went to Hong Kong, and then transferred to her hometown of Guilin, Guangxi. The one who guided her was Li Xiuwen, her father's best friend and the wife of the famous founding general Li Zongren. Li Xiuwen, who has been rooted in the Guilin area for many years, warmly accepted Bai Xianhui, and explained after learning of her intention: "Child, our country has long been reformed and opened up, no matter day or night, you are safe here."
At first, Bai Xianhui remained vigilant, for fear that his identity would be revealed. But with the bustling crowds on the streets and alleys of Guilin, no one really cares about this ordinary pedestrian. With Li Xiuwen's repeated encouragement, she finally let go of her heart and began to wander around every corner of her hometown. She went to visit the school and the old house where her father lived before his death, and took photos along the way, hoping to bring them back to Taiwan, so that her father could appreciate the great changes in his hometown under the Yellow Springs.
When checking out at a local hotel, the front desk attendant recognized Bai Xianhui's identity at a glance. Bai Xianhui was startled, thinking that there were still flaws in his disguise skills. Who knew that the waiter said with a smile: "Miss Bai, our government has long known that you are back, so we have to treat you well, and the room fee is free." Only then did Bai Xianhui realize that his "secret" homecoming had been well known to the country from the beginning.
In the next few days, Bai Xianhui put down all the mustard and took the initiative to go into the masses to listen to everyone's evaluation of Bai Chongxi. Although it has been dozens of years, the local people are still well aware of the deeds of this anti-Japanese hero, and the words of praise are endless. On the occasion of leaving, Bai Xianhui picked up a handful of his homeland and a small stone, and planned to take it back to Taiwan and enshrine it in front of his father's mausoleum, so that he could also "see" the great changes in his hometown in the past and the present, and see the moon when the clouds opened.
When the airport staff learned of the contents of Bai Xianhui's suitcase, they not only accepted it happily, but also took the initiative to check it in for her free of charge. Faced with such a friendly and considerate behavior, Bai Xianhui was completely relieved. She said emotionally: "The land and people of the motherland have forgiven and accepted us, the descendants."
This homecoming trip left a lifelong mark on Bai Xianhui. She personally experienced the tolerant embrace and warm goodwill of the people of the motherland for the descendants of the former Kuomintang generals. The ironing power from the land of the motherland finally completely melted the last ice in her heart.
This is the greatest tolerance and forgiveness for all compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. There is no distinction between you and me, there is only one family. Bai Xianhui, who was full of ambition, told his brothers and sisters what he had seen and heard soon after he returned. Her journey has cleared the way for her successors to embark on the same path of family visits, and has allowed countless descendants of the national army who are eager to return to their hometowns to re-understand their homeland, accept and trust their motherland.
Isn't this the embodiment of the blood and family affection of the Chinese nation? As the saying goes, "falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers". In this ancient and vibrant land, family and blood will go back to ancient times, regardless of each other; The light of great love and fraternity will surely warm the world and stay bright forever. #头条首发大赛#
