The cross-strait family search service carried out by toutiao is committed to helping people on both sides of the taiwan strait realize their wishes for family search and reunion.
Grandpa Zhang Zhizhong from Taiwan contacted the headline search and asked for help from the cross-strait family search project to find his relatives in Yunnan.
Zhang Zhizhong's information is now sorted out as follows, and I hope that you will help forward it and help reunite relatives on both sides of the strait through the relay of love.
Name: Zhang Zhizhong
Date of birth: June 24, 1935
Ancestral hometown: Wenmiao Street, Kunming, Yunnan
Mainland relative information: father Zhang Yicheng, mother Lu Shi; there are two brothers and two sisters, the eldest brother's wife is a teacher; the second brother is a commercial graduate and was working in a bank at the time; one of the older sisters married in Shanghai.
Here are the stories of the search for relatives:
Zhang Zhizhong, who was over eighty years old, was born in June 24, 1935. The children will always study his birthday with great interest, because this day is also a traditional festival in kunming, but everyone does not know what the festival is.
In fact, children do not just want to understand culture, but have a greater wish - to find relatives on the mainland for their fathers.
Zhang Zhizhong's nickname was "Xiao Yun", and his father Zhang Yicheng and mother Lu Shi opened a rice shop in Kunming's Wenmiao Street. Zhang Zhizhong is the oldest in the family, with two brothers and two sisters. In addition, Zhang Zhizhong remembers that his sister-in-law was a teacher; his second brother was a high-level graduate who worked in a bank at the time; and an older sister married into Shanghai.
In 1950, a graduation trip with a different tone completely changed Zhang Zhizhong's life.
In that year, Zhang Zhizhong participated in the graduation trip of Tongniu Middle School to visit the customs and customs of southern Kunming. Who expected that the teachers and students would encounter the remnants of the Kuomintang troops who were about to retreat to the Indochina Peninsula during the journey, and they would be taken to Vietnam together for more than two years. In 1953, the troops, together with teachers and students, withdrew from Da Nang, Vietnam, by boat to Taiwan.
Zhang Zhizhong, who was exiled to a foreign land, later established a family in Taiwan, but he always thought about his relatives in his hometown. In particular, the sudden separation caused him to have no news of his relatives, and he was very worried about the situation of his parents at home.
In 1987, the two sides of the strait opened up to visit relatives, and the green teenager of that year had entered middle age. Zhang Zhizhong entrusted his compatriots who had returned to the mainland to visit their relatives to send letters to his hometown, but later the compatriots informed him that his hometown address no longer existed.
Zhang Zhizhong is worried that he is the old man in the family, perhaps his relatives have long been gone, and he is also worried that after many years, his relatives may not recognize him. For decades, the reunion of relatives on both sides of the strait has become a distant luxury for him.
