Throughout the year, in the early morning and evening, the sky is sunny and rainy, the sun rises and sets, and the scenery on the sea is always changing. Seeing the sunset reflecting the sunset on the horizon, dusk is approaching, and how many vicissitudes of prosperity are no match for the sunset.

Sitting on the boat, Yi Yongheng quietly thought about something, nearly a year of time, can change a person, even a world, how many people have died, how many new lives have come, people are changing, the world is also changing, only this sunset remains the same, just like a person's heart, is shaken, he is changing, not shaken, he is still himself.

"The Tao has no end, and things have death and life, and they are not dependent on their formation or their shape. The year cannot be lifted, the time cannot be stopped, the news is full and empty, and the end has a beginning. Yi Yongheng gently recited this passage, from Zhuangzi.

When the old boatman heard this, he showed some surprise: "Are you from Chinese mainland?"

This old boatman is a Taiwanese, settled on this island, Yonaguni Island almost does not think about the outside world, people here may not be able to go abroad for the rest of their lives, except for fishing with sea boats, that is, fishing, compared to Okinawa, here is more Chinese, the Japanese government sent the Self-Defense Forces here, in fact, it is also afraid that this island will be included in Taiwan.

Yi Yongheng turned his head and carefully looked at this old boatman, like this old wooden boat like an antique, the old boatman is also close to age, if it were not for Yi Yongheng to use a boat driven by the Chinese, he would not have found this old boatman, originally he should have rested at home at this age, but as soon as he heard that the Chinese wanted to use the boat, the old boatman immediately agreed, and said that he would exempt Yi Yongheng from the boat money, but Yi Yongheng resolutely gave it, and the old boatman accepted it.

"Yes, how do you know?" Yi Yongheng nodded, his face softened, and he smiled.

"There is no end to the truth, and all things have life and death, so one cannot be complacent about temporary success. Time cannot be saved, and time will not stop. Life is sometimes empty, sometimes full, and the universe will have a beginning at the end, from Zhuangzi. Hearing his answer, the old boatman muttered to himself and translated this passage: "Only the mainland learns this, while few people in Taiwan have learned it, and your Mandarin has a Hunan flavor." ”

The old boatman's words contained an indescribable melancholy, as if he was missing something.

But the old boatman was wrong, because very few people in the schools on the mainland studied Chinese classical literature, and in this turbulent era of economic depression, competition, natural and man-made disasters, moral corruption, and deceit, all of them were materialistic desires, and classical literature was of little use to competition.

"Hehe, why did the old man settle here? Why didn't you take my money just now? Originally, Yi Yongheng didn't want to ask, he went to the Haitian pyramid to find out what was going on this time, and he was likely to meet the Yin and Yang family, and he didn't want to have too much intersection with the old man, so as not to affect him.

The old boatman's translation of this passage aroused Yi Yongheng's interest in him, and when he heard that the corners of the old boatman's wrinkled eyes were raised, and his eyes looked at the dusk, and a light lit up, without the slightest sunset-like twilight.

The hull of the ship shook, and the old boatman took the helm to stabilize the ship before saying: "Because this was once Chinese land, because I am a Chinese." ”

The old man said, looking at the West, from this direction, that side is China, that side is the homeland, and one sentence contains a thousand feelings.

At this time, Yi Yongheng knew why the old man was so happy when he heard that he was Chinese, why he didn't charge him for the boat.

He didn't speak, let the silence on the boat, only the ups and downs of the sea, and the sound of the old man at the helm, which was different from the Taiwanese ** he imagined, he would never have imagined that in a foreign land, he would hear the Taiwanese who had always been prejudiced before, say such a thing.

In his eyes, the current Taiwanese people are all separatists who have forgotten their ancestors, but now it seems that this is not the case, and an old man can live in a foreign land just because it used to be China's territory.

He waited quietly, as if waiting for the motherland to one day return this place to its territory, so that everyone here can proudly say that I am Chinese.

"I'm sorry!" Yi Yongheng apologized, because of his prejudice at the beginning, the old man just glanced at him lightly, and was silent for a long time before he said: "There are not many young people nowadays who know how to respect the elderly. ”

"Old man, your ancestral home is on the mainland. Yi Yongheng asked.

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Yi Yongheng with a little surprise and nodded: "Huai'an, Jiangsu." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yi Yongheng understood that this old man was probably a soldier before, and he must have experienced that war when he was over eighty years old, so he paused and said, "Why don't you go back and have a look? ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Yi Yongheng obviously noticed that the old man's body trembled, and only then did he say, "I want to go back, but I'm afraid of ..........."

The old man didn't say the rest of the words, but Yi Yongheng understood what the old man wanted to say, because he was afraid of being sad.

Time flies, 60 years have passed, few people remember that the Battle of Songhu invested 700,000 National Revolutionary Army, its air force blew up the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters, sank the flagship of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, its land force to supplement the battle damage, and issued five mobilization orders, more than half of the senior generals above the regimental rank were martyred, the Battle of Songhu failed to prevent the Japanese army from occupying Shanghai, but changed the strategic deployment of the Japanese army in the Chinese battlefield, and also for the transfer of Shanghai capital to Chongqing, winning three months of precious time.

No one knows that during the anti-Japanese era, the New First Army of the National Revolutionary Army went on an expedition to Burma and killed and wounded 109,000 Japanese soldiers at the cost of 17,000 casualties. When the New First Army captured the Burmese town of Yu Bang, his subordinates asked the general how to deal with Japanese prisoners of war, and the general's reply was: quot; You go and ask those dog mongrels, who have been to China, who have been to China and shot on the spot, and they will all be like this in the future.

No one remembers that in the defense of Changde in Hunan Province, the National Revolutionary Army ... People..... The 8,000 officers and soldiers of the 57th Division of the 74th Army held off 100,000 Japanese troops for 15 days, and in the end only 200 people were still able to fight.

The division commander sent the last telegram from the 74th Division of the 57th Army: quot; The bullets are exhausted, the aid is gone, there are no people, and the city is broken. The deputy division commander, the division attached, the director of the Political Department, and the director of the General Staff Department will stubbornly defend the Central Bank, and the commanders of each regiment will divide the area and hold each room to make the final resistance, swear to the death, and wish victory. Long live the 74th Army!quot;

They stained the anti-Japanese battlefield with blood, but they are not remembered, because of the war they left their homeland, left their homeland, and for decades they were on the other side of the Watchman Strait, because it was their homeland, once they fought for him, once they guarded this home.

And such a lonely old man, but he is a defender of the motherland's former homeland, because he is a Chinese, because he used to be Chinese territory here, and he is looking forward to it.

In that war, their comrades-in-arms sacrificed 3,211,418 officers and soldiers, including 8 generals, 41 lieutenant generals, and 71 major generals. Country..... The Revolutionary Air Force had 6,164 pilots spilled blood, and 2,468 fighters were shot down. Country..... The navy of the People's Revolutionary Army was completely destroyed, and all the ships were emptied.

"When I heard the Japanese emperor apologize that day, it was the happiest time of my life. The old man muttered to himself, facing the far west, to the homeland, as if to say, "Rest in peace, comrades-in-arms."

They once shed their blood for that land, and now the people who live there have forgotten them, but they have not forgotten their homeland, never.

Standing on the side of the ship, looking at the sky, Yi Yongheng's eyes were moist, and every descendant of the real history should be remembered with hard work.

"Huh" Yi Yongheng turned around, raised his head, and saluted the old man, although he was not a soldier, but he still saluted, seeing Yi Yongheng's movements, the old man was trembling all over, at this moment he was in a trance, and even a little unimaginable, but just for a moment, his eyes were shining brightly, blazing, he raised his hand and slowly returned the salute.

An old man and a young man, under the afterglow of the sunset, no one saw it at this moment, but it remained in the hearts of the two forever, after the ceremony, Yi Yongheng said: "Don't worry, old man, one day the motherland will be reunified, and all this will be confirmed, and our land will never let anyone be ruined." ”

The old man nodded, did not speak, and continued to take the helm, and at this moment he seemed to see hope, perhaps soon............

...............................

At night, Yi Yongheng sneaked into the ruins with diving equipment, the scene just now is still unforgettable in Yi Yongheng's heart, he has already asked the old man to go back, and the old man did not stay, he seems to feel something in Yi Yongheng's military salute, this young man is not ordinary.

Through the wetsuit, the sea water looks slightly cool, which makes people feel comfortable, because it can see at night, even if it is dark, the entire seabed is also in the eyes of Yi Yongheng, fish swimming in the seaweed, beautiful coral reefs, like a visual feast. But he had no time to admire, and he swam into the distance, following the instructions given to him by the old man, and soon he saw the place he was looking for.

When the old man knew that he was looking for the underwater ruins, he also specially introduced the situation of the underwater ruins, and he said a sentence at that time: "It is very simple to prove that this was a place in China before, because in this ruins, a complete set of stone carvings have been excavated, and this stone carving is a human face, but that human face is the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang." ”

Hearing this, Yi Yongheng was also surprised, Qin Shi Huang's moment spread here? Yi Yongheng couldn't believe it, but when he thought that there was a sword sealed in the pyramid, he believed it, because it was Qin Shi Huang's Qiankun Universe Edge.

"According to previous conclusions, this place should not have been sunk a thousand years ago. Looking at the ruins at the bottom of the sea, the outline of the city, Yi Yongheng guessed how magnificent such a city would be if it was restored, as if attracting people to go back to ancient times and see the glory of the past.

I was deeply touched, but I found that the city outline only left the vicissitudes of history and the traces of sea fish inhabiting, and I sighed in my heart when I saw it: "Everything can't escape the consumption of time, well, what is that?"

Looking at the sharp triangle in the distance, Yi Yongheng was shocked, if you haven't seen this thing, you can never feel his majesty, the magnificent pyramid is standing proudly in the water as if it is eternal, time is immortal, making people deeply shaken, but at this moment, Yi Yongheng suddenly felt a palpitation, this feeling came from far away from the pyramid.

"This is ............" The closer he got, the more Yi Yongheng felt this palpitation getting stronger and stronger, and even frightened him, he knew that he had found what he was looking for.............

ps: What's that, ten more at the end of the month, talking counts
