224 The nostalgia of the military village

Let's continue to tell you the story of Chai Hua, the war emperor of the dark world-

We said in the last book that the scar-faced blue @ whale man wanted to invite Chai Hua and Xiaowen to have a drink, and Chai Hua actually agreed, which made Xiaowen very worried and hesitant, afraid of falling into a dangerous situation, after all, the two sides were once two forces fighting to the death.

Scarface beckoned, up and down, four people rushed in, plus Scarface is a total of five people, Chai Hua and Xiaowen can sense that the combat power of these people is indeed not weak, and in terms of overall combat power, the other five will definitely surpass the two of them.

In terms of the situation just now, Chai Hua and Xiaowen had to face attacks from the ground in the front and back and left directions, and they would be attacked by a sudden attack from above at a critical moment, which can be said to be very dangerous.

Fortunately, they are all Chinese, and the current situation is not the situation of decades ago, so Chai Hua and Xiaowen's worry has decreased a lot.

But Xiaowen's worries are not groundless, because both sides are underground secret combat forces, both are people who do not open the front, and if they die, they will not be known to outsiders, even if they are two forces shaking hands in front of people on the stage, it is normal for them to fight viciously behind the scenes.

This is the special feature of the underground secret front - glory is unknown to outsiders, and death is like a speck of dust.

Scarface led the group, turning around, and finally came to a secluded place, a bar built on a embankment in the Panama Canal - the owner of the bar is a middle-aged Taiwanese Lao Xiao.

It seems that Scarface and Lao Xiao are acquaintances, and Lao Xiao enthusiastically welcomed Scarface's group of seven people into a private seat next to the canal, and there is a majestic gate in the distance outside the window

In fact, the Panama Canal is not like our Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but only a few sections are built with customs clearance gates, and the rest are using the vast area of the Panamanian Isthmus, many of which are just like our water towns in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the water surface is very open.

Xiaowen excused himself to go to the toilet, and Chai Hua excused himself to watch the scenery, and he patrolled the surroundings, but he didn't find or sense any danger, so the guests took their seats and began to drink and talk.

Through the introduction, Chai Hua and Xiaowen learned that Scarface's surname was Ji, and he was a colonel of Blue @ Whale, with terrifying combat power, and had carried out countless secret missions, and even went to the mainland to perform some tasks that embarrassed us when they were young.

However, why did Colonel Ji of Blue @ Whale invite Chai Hua of Xiaolong to come here for a drink?

"I am from a military village, and our hometowns are all from a military village. Colonel Ji opened his mouth and said a word, which relieved Chai Hua and Xiaowen.

Military villages, that is, the dormitories for the families of the Kuomintang military and political personnel who were defeated and retreated to Taiwan, are all special historical and cultural phenomena in the special period of the two sides of the strait, just like our military compounds in those years, and few young people now know about them.

"I am from a military village" This means that these people belong to other provinces, but in terms of age, they should all be the second and third generations who have come to Taiwan.

The majority of the male owners of the military village were loyal to Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang back then, and they have multiplied to this day, accounting for a very high proportion of Taiwan's 20 million people.

"The difference between Taiwan's military villages and our military compounds is that there is more nostalgia!" This is what the cultural commissioner of Xiaolong told in class, and Chai Hua still remembers it vividly.

Full of nostalgia, this is the most important stroke in Taiwan's military village culture. These veterans of military villages who are full of nostalgia can only be regarded as soothing the nostalgia in their hearts when they returned to their long-lost hometown after the three links between the two sides of the strait more than ten years ago, and wept bitterly by their parents' side or in front of their graves.

"Actually, my mother was deceived by my father to go to Taiwan," Colonel Ji said amazingly, so that everyone looked at Colonel Ji in a daze, it seemed that they all wanted to hear this story, and Colonel Ji also half-jokingly told the story of his father tricking his mother to come to Taiwan-

Colonel Ji's grandfather was an air force officer stationed in Beiping before the peaceful liberation, and Colonel Ji's father served as a soldier on the ground at the base. The father of Colonel Ji, who was wearing an air force uniform, met the mother of Colonel Ji, a girl from Beiping, and fell in love after coming and going. On the eve of the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Colonel Ji's father came in a hurry, saying that he was going to take Colonel Ji's mother out to have fun, but who knows, in fact, Colonel Ji's father abducted Colonel Ji's mother and got on the plane piloted by Colonel Ji's grandfather - and then Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and finally went to Taipei.

At that time, when Colonel Ji's father took his wife to Beijing, he saw Colonel Ji's grandmother, and the old man slapped Colonel Ji's father: "You said you took my daughter out to play, but this game is forty years!"

Everyone was embarrassed.

Everyone was silent for a while, and a man named Major Zhu also talked about his father - his father was in Dagang, Qingdao, and there was no soy sauce at home, so he went out to make soy sauce, but this fight was forty years - on the way to make soy sauce, he was robbed of a warship outside Dagang, and directly brought to Taiwan, and there were hundreds of Qingdao villagers on board at that time. When my father returned to Qingdao, he specially bought two bottles of soy sauce and knelt in front of his mother, and the two of them cried bitterly: "You went out to buy soy sauce and bought it for forty years!"

"Actually, I still have real estate in the mainland," Colonel Ji changed the subject, "my grandmother never saw my grandfather again because she went back to Shanxi to visit relatives." After my grandfather came to Taiwan, he married a Taiwanese sister who was not much older than my father, and gave birth to several uncles and aunts who were about the same age as me. My parents went to Shanxi to visit my grandmother, my grandmother who has been waiting for my grandfather, has been guarding the family's property, because she is still the principal of the middle school, and there is a big house in Taiyuan, which is left to me, because I am his only grandson!"

"Wow, Colonel Ji turned out to be a big landlord, and there are so many real estate properties in mainland Taiwan."

"Colonel Ji, they should all be the elite of the Blue @ Whale, why are they stationed in Panama? Because he is the only country with which Taiwan has diplomatic relations?"

"Please note that it is not Taiwan, it is the 'Republic of China', according to the '92 consensus, one China, each with its own expression. Colonel Ji corrected Chai Hua's statement very carelessly, "Hey, on the map of our Republic of China, Mongolia is also on our territory!" Colonel Ji said proudly.

"Since A-bian came to power, our Blue @ Whale life has not been easy, what is the purpose of our existence? Who is our enemy? What are we going to hold on? The army that was originally monolithic has now had a very serious dispute, and we are the victims of the dispute, and we have been sent here. ”

Chai Hua understands the feelings of the descendants of these military villages, and must stick to the persistence of their fathers, but the world has changed too much, that is, many descendants of military villages, and now young people, because of the rustiness of their ancestors, tend to Ah Bian, who was originally a descendant of people from other provinces, but has become a firm support force of people from this province, and it is a very depressing reality.

"Colonel Ji, let's have a song, show us two little brothers on the continent your singing voice!" a blue @ whale coaxed proposed.

"Okay, then I'll have a song of Zhang Yusheng's "China in the Heart"!" Colonel Ji is naturally full of confidence, but his voice condition is indeed good, although he does not have Zhang Yusheng's high-pitched tone, but it is also rhythmic.

Chai Hua, Xiaowen and others listened to Colonel Ji's singing silently, and co-wrote the beat for Colonel Ji, and the lyrics of this song "China in the Heart" deeply moved everyone at the scene-

I didn't walk the long road my father walked

His face was a little vicissitudes and a little blood and tears

I haven't seen the kingdom my father saw

His nostalgia is the rolling water of the mighty river

I could only sneak into my father's eyes

I feel the clouds and dogs in the deepest part of his vision

I didn't leave the scars of my father's newness

His scars are unbearable to look back on

I didn't go through the struggles that my father went through

His parting was a midnight dream and a dazed loss

I could only quietly wait for my father's move

I feel that his expression is the most trance-like love-hate intertwin

……

I was not sure what China was

Now I know he's beating in my chest

I'm really sure of what China is

It was my father's lifelong observance that gave me the honor I was born with

……

Colonel Ji felt a little hot and tearful.

And Chai Hua and Xiaowen were also infected, and sang a song of Luo Dayou's "Four Rhymes of Homesickness" - give me a scoop of Yangtze River water is Yangtze River water, the wine-like Yangtze River water, the taste of drunkenness, is the taste of nostalgia, give me a scoop of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water!

In fact, this "Four Rhymes of Homesickness" is a poem in the afterglow, which was composed by Luo Dayou, and has been sung on both sides of the strait to this day, becoming a symbol of the times.

Lin Qingxia, Teresa Teng, as well as Ren Xianqi, Qi Qin, Qi Yu, Cai Qin, Zhang Yusheng, Wang Zuxian, etc., etc., these Taiwanese celebrities are all descendants of the military village, and these celebrities are outstanding representatives of the hard work of the military village.

Different from the mainland army compound, except for nostalgia and poverty, these dependents came to Taiwan and had nothing but the hope of counterattacking the mainland. To survive and live, in addition to hard work, it is hard work.

Corporal punishment of children is also a culture in the military villages, in order to make the children have a chance, many of the parents of these military villages are strict tutors, once the child makes a mistake, it will never be spared, until the child is beaten so that the neighbors next to him can't listen to it, come to persuade it, this is the end.

Speaking of this, Colonel Ji expressed a different opinion, that is, this corporal punishment culture was a matter at the beginning of the military village, and the fathers at that time were very melancholy and anxious, and many times, the children who were not angry became like punching bags. However, with the increase of awareness, the phenomenon of corporal punishment of children has also decreased.

"Actually, I believe that this kid can't be beaten if he doesn't fight, I was beaten into the barracks by my father back then, otherwise I would probably be the master of the Bamboo Union Gang now. Colonel Ji said a little self-deprecatingly.

The Bamboo Union Gang, Chen Qili, this thunderous name, many people on both sides of the strait and three places know this name. Although Chen Qili is now living in Cambodia, Yu Wei is still there.

For the history of Taiwanese gangs, Chai Hua has done in-depth research in Xiaolong, in fact, this Bamboo Union Gang and Sihai Gang all started in military villages, and they were all because the children in these military villages were bullied by "locals" at that time. Just like Chen Qili, there were only three people from other provinces in the class back then, and the other two were beaten goods, but Chen Qili fought back strongly, and the bell after class was like the opening whistle in the boxing ring.

In order not to be bullied by the locals, the children of the military village gradually formed this Four Seas Gang, Zhonghe Gang, and even the later Bamboo Forest Alliance - Bamboo Union Gang.

Moreover, Chen Qili's famous words back then could be called deafening, and directly shook the underworld forces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
