A 90-year-old man in Taiwan is about to celebrate his birthday,

My daughter asked him: What are your wishes for this year's 90th birthday?

The old man said slightly deeply: I want to go back to the mainland and worship my parents

Daughter: Well, I'll take you back.

After listening to his daughter's answer, the old man's eyes lit up with tears.

It turned out that the old man came to Taiwan from Guangdong at the age of 13,

He had always thought he would be able to go home soon.

But it took a long, long time to start a family in Taiwan until I was nearly 50 years old.

More than ten years later, he returned to his hometown in Guangdong............

The old man finally made his wish for the rest of his life,

The old man often stood by the sea and looked into the distance and said:

The other side of the sea was his hometown. He looked at the sea and his eyes burst into tears.

When he found out that his daughter was going to record, he immediately dried his tears,

The daughter asked him if he was sad, and he did not answer.

Ask him again and shake your head.

I think the only way to go back

Only by looking to history can we understand this one-mindedness

The old man who missed his hometown experienced what kind of war and displacement:...

I believe that it is not too far from this day,

At that time, the old man could worship his parents at any time
