Chapter 429: Forty Years of Reincarnation
Taiwan, from 1949 to 1988, went through the forty years of rule of the old Chiang and the little Chiang, the Chiang family father and son.
In order to facilitate the rule and control, Taiwan has been under martial law for nearly 40 years, and its ties with the mainland have been basically separated for 40 years.
From this point of view, the old Jiang and the little Jiang are commendable no matter what their merits and demerits are, although the Jiang family father and son were defeated and retreated to Taiwan, but in their hearts, China is the integration of the mainland and Taiwan, this has never wavered, and even, even Outer Mongolia is on the map of the Republic of China.
This must be given a thumbs up to the Jiang family father and son.
Perhaps because they knew that the time limit was approaching, or because they knew that Taiwan and the mainland could not be separated forever, martial law, which had been maintained for nearly 40 years, lifted the ban in July last year, and in November, it announced that some people would be allowed to visit relatives on the mainland, thus putting an end to the situation in which compatriots on both sides of the strait had not interacted with each other for nearly 40 years.
Perhaps this is Xiao Jiang's last wish, on January 13, 1988, when Qiao Feng returned to the mainland through Luohu Bridge with several interview teams and crews, Xiao Jiang passed away in Taiwan when the first homecoming family visit group organized by the Homecoming Promotion Association returned to the mainland via Hong Kong.
During his tenure as "premier," Chiang promoted the 10 major constructions, Taiwan's economy developed rapidly, and he became one of the "four Asian tigers"; before carrying out the 10 major constructions, he also carried out 10 administrative innovations to make administrative implementation more concise and effective; during his tenure in charge of Taiwan, he attached more importance to local talents, used a large number of officials from Taiwan Province, actively pursued the "localization policy," adhered to the "one-China" stance, opposed "Taiwan independence," advocated reforming the Taiwanese people's extravagant dining habits, and advocated "plum blossom meals" (i.e., five dishes and one soup), so that the luxury of catering has been reined in.
The ten years of Xiao Chiang's administration were the best and fastest ten years in Taiwan, and when his death came out, many Taiwanese people wept bitterly when they heard it, and the bad veterans of the group who returned to their hometowns to visit their relatives also thanked Xiao Chiang for opening up to visit relatives and were saddened by his death.
Xiao Jiang's son Lao Jiang arrived in Taiwan and opened the era of martial law in Taiwan, and Xiao Jiang, the son of Lao Jiang, lifted martial law in the last period of his life, allowing the two sides of the strait to reopen exchanges, I don't know if this is a reincarnation, when Xiao Jiang died, the veterans who returned to their hometowns to visit relatives also set foot on the land of the mainland.
The crew who crossed the Luohu Bridge together had their own destinations, because there were many equipment and personnel, so they all took the train, and Qiao Feng and the wireless interview team took a plane from Guangzhou with the family visiting group.
At the same time, Lin Qingxia's family also flew back from the United States to visit relatives.
Lin Qingxia's family and Wang Xuxian's family, all of whom Qiao Feng helped dredge the relationship so that they could go back to the mainland to visit relatives one by one, otherwise they would be a family at most.
Lin Qingxia's family flew directly to Beiping, and then transferred to the train back to Shandong's hometown to reunite with Lin Li's family.
On January 16, 1988, more than 30 people from the group flew to Xi'an to begin the activities of returning to their hometowns to visit relatives.
Waving the eye-catching regimental flag printed with a map of China, the group walked out of the exit of the airport, and the welcoming crowds on both sides applauded.
He Wende, head of the group returning to his hometown to visit relatives, had a brief conversation with Wu Qingzhou of the Shaanxi Provincial Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, who greeted him, and found that Wu Qingzhou was actually Taiwanese, and He Wende took the initiative to warmly hug him and said to Wu Qingzhou: "I am a mainlander from Taiwan, you are a Taiwanese from the mainland, we are all compatriots, and we will be able to welcome you in Taiwan in the near future." “
After staying at the Concord Hotel, the members gave up lunch and lunch break, visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the West City Gate and special crafts, Wang Xuxian's grandfather was also full of energy, not at all like doing a long-term plane, and participated in the whole process, so their family and Qiao Feng also participated in the activity.
The white smocks of the members of the family visiting group were printed with the words "homesick", "40 years, let us go home", "where is the west looking at the township, the road to the homeland in the dream" was fenced off. They all spoke in their native accents and poured out their painstaking thoughts about their homeland and relatives for decades.
After a good afternoon of shopping in Xi'an, listening to the strong Guanzhong accent and stepping on the solid land of Qinchuan for 800 miles, everyone was excited beyond words. A "dumpling feast" with northern flavors.
This is the same as saying that hot dumplings are served on the table every year at the Spring Festival Gala, and northerners think that people all over the country are important festivals and have to eat dumplings at important moments.
After eating a very commemorative dumpling banquet, the old people who took a long time on the plane and walked around for an afternoon were tired one by one, and went to bed early after washing.
Of course, it is also because there is no entertainment in the mainland at this time, and it is almost time to go to bed at seven or eight o'clock.
The old people are asleep, Qiao Feng and Wang Xuxian and Wang Xuxian's parents are not sleepy, and they are still excited to return to the mainland, especially Wang Xuxian, who has read about Xi'an from books, and has to take a walk on the street, no way, Qiao Feng can only accompany this family of three to the street to roll the road, in January in the north, it is cold at night, the north wind is blowing, where has Wang Xuxian's family felt such a biting cold wind, and hurried back to the hotel after walking for less than half an hour, but in less than half an hour, a family of three can say how they feel for a long time, Qiao Feng is very speechless about such a bun.
The next day, the veterans who slept and recuperated their spirits worshiped the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and the head of the regiment, He Wende, recited the "Sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor", and offered the water and soil brought from Taiwan, as well as pineapples and betel nuts, the festival was presided over by Yang Zujun, and then visited the Yulan Hotel, Huaqing Pond, Qin Warriors Museum, etc.
The accompanying interview team recorded these important moments with words and cameras.
On this day, the 1987 Top Ten Golden Songs of the Year Award Ceremony, which commended the achievements of the music industry in 1987, was held at the Hong Kong Coliseum.
is different from last year's awards ceremony, last year it was Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin who booed and scolded each other, and this year it was a group of boos and scolding, Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, Ye Qianwen, Anita Mui, several fans each have their favorite male singers and female singers, and then when the awards were presented, there were cheers and boos one after another, and then because it was too scattered, there was no confrontation with clear barriers like last year.
The atmosphere at the award ceremony was much better, and the host dared not shy away from Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong, Ye Qianwen, Anita Mui, and Liu Dehua when they made a joke.
The award ceremony kicked off in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
