Chapter 51: Prosperity Disperses the Dream of Glory (Ending)

Previous Chapter

In the summer of the 38th year of the Republic of China (1949), the situation became even more turbulent, and bad news came from the front. The Kuomintang army retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, to Central China, and to South China, retreating again and again, and there was no way to retreat.

A regime that goes from being powerful to rapidly collapsing and disintegrating is like a huge building collapsing in an instant.

The mainland fell, and the entire river and mountain changed color. Finally, the Supreme Commander gave the final death order to evacuate on all fronts!

It was an evacuation like an "escape".

Nanjing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xiamen...... The country's major cities are full of panicked people, and airports and ferry terminals are overcrowded. Officers, businessmen, and their families rushed to get the last tickets to board planes and ships. The whole of China was in turmoil.

Cheng Ruikai received a secret order to evacuate Mingcheng with his family overnight, and went to the ferry terminal in Shanghai to evacuate from Shanghai to Taiwan.

As soon as the news that the Cheng family was going to evacuate in the chaos of the war was released, it suddenly became a mess. Under Cheng Ruikai's instructions, the Cheng family only brought some gold and silver in a hurry, abandoned the cumbersome and large objects, went into battle lightly, and set off overnight. Before leaving, Cheng Ruikai paid enough salaries to each of the Cheng family's subordinates, and then dismissed them one by one.

Cheng Chazhong leaned on crutches, looked around with tears in his eyes, and sighed: "If the ancestor is still here, he will definitely scold me for being a loser, and my family has a big business, and I have ended up in such a situation!"

Cheng Ruikai comforted his father: "Dad, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, maybe we will come back one day!"

On this night, except for Cheng Ruiming and Cheng Molin, who went to stay abroad, the main members of the Cheng family all got into the car sent by Cheng Ruikai's troops and went to Shanghai, and went to Taiwan via Shanghai. Gong Mengshu hugged his youngest daughter Baoqin and sat in a car with the ladies of the Cheng family, while the eldest son Baoming was led by Lu Qingqing and sat in a car with Cheng Ruikai, Cheng Ruitai and Cheng Chazhong, because Cheng Chazhong doted on his eldest grandson very much, he had to be by his side, and Baoming had always been taken care of by Lu Qingqing, so Lu Qingqing also followed Cheng Ruikai's car.

The Cheng family was all worried, and they were even more confused and uneasy in the car.

Gong Mengshu, who was in a hurry, got in the car and suddenly remembered that the news of his hurried departure had not yet been notified to his mother Wu Peisi, and hurriedly wanted to get out of the car and go back to talk to her mother, and the four-year-old daughter Baoqin saw that her mother Gong Mengshu was going to get out of the car, so she hurriedly hugged Gong Mengshu's leg and wanted to go together.

Gong Mengshu turned her head to look at the female dependents in the car, and her eyes couldn't help but plead, but the third aunt Taipeng Wanru still looked impatient, and Lin Xuexian with the child didn't say a word and didn't lend a hand.

The second wife, Man Zhen, looked at the car of Cheng Chazhong and Cheng Ruikai in front of her, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's okay, the car is parked here and waiting for you, you hurry up and go back and say hello to your mother!" Fortunately, the car was parked not far from Gong Mengshu's mother's house, and Gong Mengshu had to carry the crying Baoqin in three steps and make two steps to run home.

Gong Mengshu anxiously patted the far door of the house, Wu Peisi went out and saw Gong Mengshu running out of breath and embarrassed, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Mengshu, what's wrong with you? Why didn't Ruikai come with you?"

"Ruikai took Bao Ming and left in the car first, and I took another car. Mother, come with us! The car is waiting for us not far away. Rui Kai retreated to Shanghai with the Cheng family, and I heard that I had to go farther away, so you should go with me immediately! I don't feel at ease if you stay here alone!" Gong Mengshu hurriedly said to his mother.

Wu Peisi was stunned for a moment, she pondered for a moment, and said: "No, Mengshu, I'm not leaving, you and the child will leave here with Ruikai, and you won't be able to catch up with them when it's too late, go quickly, leave me alone......"

"No, mother, I can't leave you here alone....... the war has burned to Mingcheng, and there is turmoil everywhere, if Mingcheng falls, then what should you do?" Gong Mengshu refused to give up, and still persuaded his mother.

Wu Peisi smiled bitterly and said, "Your mother and I have never left Mingcheng in my life, I really want to go, where can I go? Besides, your father is buried here, I am so old, and I don't want to leave my hometown again." Child, you go, go with Ruikai in peace, don't take care of your mother anymore, I will arrange my own ......"

"No, you have to go with me!" Gong Mengshu couldn't hold back her tears, "I must not just leave......."

"Child, don't be sad, the current war continues, Ruikai and their army are exhausted, Mingcheng may not be able to hold it anymore, he is a soldier, he has fallen into such a situation, and there must be hatred of the country in his heart. You are his wife, and you must be his backing behind him so that he will not go mad. Listen to my mother's words and get out of here quickly...... Let's go, you won't be able to catch up with Ruikai when it's late......" Wu Peisi urged Gong Mengshu earnestly.

Gong Mengshu only felt that his heart was broken, and he couldn't help crying: "Mother, I can't bear to ....... you."

"Silly boy, don't be sad. The world is unpredictable, maybe this is just a false alarm, and you will be back later?" Wu Peisi said, hugged the lovely Baoqin, kissed her, and then urged Gong Mengshu again: "Hurry up, it's late, and the car will be bad if you don't wait for anyone!"

"No, mother!" Gong Mengshu just refused to leave. Seeing this, Wu Peisi forcibly pushed Gong Mengshu out of the door, then stuffed Baoqin to her, closed the door, and said ruthlessly inside the door: "Hurry up, Mengshu, you have to be good and ensure safety, otherwise my mother will not forgive you!"

"Mother!" Gong Mengshu slammed the door outside to no avail, and only left helplessly with tears in his voice after his hoarse voice was exhausted. She turned back three times at a time, her face full of tears. For the first time, I felt the pain and sorrow of everything in the troubled times.

Four-year-old Baoqin wiped her mother's Gong Mengshu's tears with her hands and asked her softly: "Mother, why doesn't grandma go with us?

"Your grandmother doesn't want to drag us down......" Gong Mengshu said, couldn't help but bury her face in Baoqin's shoulder as she walked, and whimpered: "I can't bear her ......"

Baoqin said sensibly: "Mother, I can't bear to ...... you"

Gong Mengshu looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes, and Baoqin's words reminded her that although her mother stubbornly refused to leave Mingcheng, she was also a mother at the moment, and at least she had to ensure Baoqin's life first, so she ran up with Baoqin in her arms to chase the car waiting for them in place.

But when she ran to the same place panting with Baoqin in her arms, she was shocked to find that the car had long since disappeared!

Gong Mengshu put Baoqin down in a daze, Baoqin pulled the corner of her clothes, and asked puzzledly: "Mother, where did the second grandmother and the eldest aunt go to?" Gong Mengshu did not answer, but he knew in his heart that he had been left behind by these ladies of the Cheng Mansion.

What Gong Mengshu didn't know was that when she took Baoqin to find Wu Peisi, Man Zhen also got out of the car halfway, saying that she was going to be convenient, and then she never returned. The lady in the car waited for a long time, but no one returned. The third aunt Tai Peng said impatiently: "Don't wait for these people, it is estimated that Man Zhen will go to find her wild man." Mengshu's hooves are not a good thing. Let's make a decision sooner. Otherwise, the communist army will come soon, and we won't be able to leave if we want to, so let's go, hurry up and catch up with them!"

Drivers who are eager to escape naturally have no opinion. Lin Xuexian hugged her daughter and looked at the dark night, but saw that there was silence everywhere and there was no one, so she hugged her daughter tightly and said nothing, as a tacit acquiescence to the third aunt's idea. The car roared with a motor and quickly drove away.

At dawn, Cheng Ruikai, his father, eldest brother and Lu Qingqing arrived at the Shanghai wharf first, anxiously waiting for the second car to arrive, and when the people in the car came down, they found that someone had lost it.

"Bastard!" Cheng Ruikai didn't say a word, he was angry, first gave the driver a heavy slap, and then roared: "Where did you take Aunt Gong and my daughter?!"

Cheng Ruitai took the child in Lin Xuexian's hand and asked, "Yes, why did you lose Mengshu on the way?"

Lin Xuexian avoided Cheng Ruitai's questioning eyes, but remained silent. On the contrary, the third aunt Taipeng sneered, and replied to the anxious Cheng Ruikai: "I said Ruikai, don't be angry with others first, there must be a reason for people to disappear, don't you notice, not only Mengshu is gone, but even Manzhen is gone?"

Peng Wanru's words made the people of the Cheng family notice that the second wife Man Zhen, who has always been particularly able to manage, did not get out of the car, Cheng Chazhong walked over with a cane, stood and pointed at Peng Wanru with his finger, and said sharply: "Then you say, where is Man Zhen?"

Peng Wanru saw Cheng Chazhong angry, although he didn't dare to be frivolous anymore, but there was an imperceptible schadenfrequent smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he said slowly: "Back to my lord, now, I have no choice but to expose the ugliness of the family in front of everyone." Presumably the old man also knew that Man Zhen had a good scene outside, she got out of the car last night and went to look for him by herself, and we waited left and right and didn't see her come back, so we went first......"

"Man Zhen, when did Man Zhen get along?" Cheng Chazhong was angry, and he didn't come back in one breath, and he rolled his eyes in choke. Cheng Ruitai hurriedly supported his father and comforted him.

Cheng Chazhong came to his senses, pushed his son away, and went back to Mingcheng on crutches to find out the pair of adulterers, but was dismissed by Peng Wanru's words, "I said master, you have spoiled this woman all your life, and now you look at it, what she gave back to you is a big green hat." What's the use of you going back to her, it's better to let that slut and her good friend be happy, anyway, this country is going to be destroyed, if she doesn't go, it will be a dead end, let her and the good one be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks!" Peng Wanru analyzed very methodically.

Cheng Chazhong heard Peng Wanru say this, he could only use crutches to beat desperately on the ground to vent his hatred, Peng Wanru stepped forward, hugged Cheng Chazhong, and said in a low voice: "Master, now you know who is good to you, right?!" Cheng Chazhong glanced at Peng Wanru, snorted and ignored her, but he didn't break free from her support.

Cheng Ruikai didn't care about Manzhen's affairs, he only cared about Gong Mengshu, so he asked Peng Wanru: "Sanniang, don't compare Mengshu with Manzhen's second mother, you tell me, where did she go?"

"I don't know this," Peng Wanru shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mengshu took Baoqin and Manzhen to get off the car one after another, but we also waited for her for a long time......"

"Can't wait, won't you wait?" Cheng Ruikai was emotional and said angrily: "You left her like this?"

"Yo, second young master, your big hat is too heavy, right? You left her first and took the big house away, didn't you also lose her, and who knows if Meng Shu is the same as Man Zhen, saying goodbye to her lover in the middle of the night, ......" Peng Wanru's words were just half a sentence, and she was frightened back by Cheng Ruikai's almost murderous eyes, and in the end she only dared to mumble from her throat, but she didn't dare to make a sound again.

Lu Qingqing saw that Cheng Ruikai was so anxious that the veins on his forehead were bruised, so he comforted him softly: "Ruikai, don't worry, if Mengshu really fell accidentally, she will definitely do everything possible to catch up with Baoqin, let's wait for her and the child to ......."

Cheng Ruikai blushed and said, "You guys find a place to live first, and I'll look for her......" Cheng Ruikai's words didn't fall, and he was persuaded by Cheng Chazhong, "Don't, Ruikai, don't you see that you can't grab the ticket for fleeing from Shanghai to Taiwan at all? Now the crowd is surging, if you look for it again, what if we get separated by then? We have to hurry up and get on the boat, otherwise it is estimated that we will not even be able to leave!"

Cheng Ruikai darkened his face and said, "If Mengshu doesn't come, I will definitely not get on the boat!"

"Second brother, don't be impulsive, calm down a little, we are now a big family pointing at you, and you still have subordinates, let your subordinates help find someone, ah?" Cheng Ruitai persuaded Cheng Ruikai. Cheng Ruikai looked at the size of the Cheng family, barely suppressed his anxious emotions, gritted his teeth and asked his subordinates to look for it first, and then temporarily settled his family in a small hotel near the dock, and then went out to find out the news of Meng Shu.

Lu Qingqing saw that Cheng Ruikai couldn't stop dissuading, and he didn't dare to persuade more, so he had to hold Baoming and wait for news. The family temporarily packed their luggage in the hotel and prepared to board a boat in the evening to escape to Taiwan.

Cheng Ruikai looked around for traces of Gong Mengshu and Baoqin in the bustling crowd, but in the vast crowd, noisy and noisy, how could there be Gong Mengshu and his baby daughter. In this way, he searched all around Shanghai, but did not find any clues.

It was close to evening, and his soldiers had found nothing, Cheng Ruikai felt a sense of despair and self-blame taking over his whole body and mind, and he squatted at the door of the Shanghai railway station, painfully taking off his military hat and pulling his hair with his hands.

But at this moment, he heard a familiar but hoarse voice hesitantly calling her name: "Rui, Ruikai......"

Cheng Ruikai raised his head as if he had been struck by lightning, and saw Gong Mengshu with unkempt hair, red and swollen eyes, and a Baoqin dragging through the bustling crowd of people dragging large bags and small bags!

"Mengshu-" A lost joy flowed into his chest like a stream of heat, Cheng Ruikai suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, he didn't say a word, he rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and took Gong Mengshu and Baoqin in his arms.

"Thank God, we're finally together!" Cheng Ruikai hugged Gong Mengshu tightly, his lips trembling a little. Gong Mengshu breathed a sigh of relief tiredly, his clothes were wrinkled, and he said a little embarrassed: "I didn't catch the train in the middle of the night, so I took Baoqin to catch the last train to Shanghai......

Cheng Ruikai didn't say anything, just hugged Gong Mengshu with one hand and Xiao Baoqin with the other, he almost pinched them with his strength, Xiao Baoqin broke away, stroked Cheng Ruikai's cheek with his little hand, and said, "Dad, your beard is so prickly......"

Cheng Ruikai's voice was hoarse, and he said, "Yes, then when we get on the boat, let your mother help your father shave?"

"Good. Xiao Baoqin nodded obediently.

Cheng Ruikai turned his head to look at Gong Mengshu and said, "Mengshu, follow me to the dock, everyone is waiting......"

Gong Mengshu bit her lip, as if she was a little hesitant, Cheng Ruikai asked, "What's wrong?"

"My mother, she ......" Gong Mengshu's eyes flashed with tears, and her voice was a little choked: "She doesn't want to leave with me, I, I can't bear her ......"

Cheng Ruikai sighed and said, "You don't have to worry, I will instruct some old friends to take care of her old man, and when we come down in the future, can I come back to see her?"

Gong Mengshu raised his eyes to look at Cheng Ruikai, and saw that his black eyes were staring at her tightly, with comfort and sincerity in his eyes, and his heart was slightly sour, and the grievances and depression that had accumulated over the years seemed to have been slightly diluted because of his gentleness and thoughtfulness.

She stared at him, and a wish from many years ago suddenly flashed in her heart, that is, let Cheng Ruikai take her and the child nowhere to go, and the family of four hid somewhere in the city like this, and lived quietly for the rest of their lives. The emotions in her heart were surging, and she almost couldn't help but say her expectations again, but Cheng Ruikai said to her at this time: "Mengshu, let's go, everyone is waiting for us on the dock——"

As soon as his words came out, all the eagerness and extravagance in her heart melted into a bubble, she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt that she was too self-conscious, she had not succeeded in turning the situation around many years ago, let alone now?! Time passed, but her mind and mind were far from being strengthened with age.

A thousand thoughts condensed in her heart, and finally turned into her low and indifferent sentence: "Okay." Cheng Ruikai strode forward in front of him with Xiao Baoqin in his arms, and she slowly followed behind.

The people who were anxiously waiting on the dock were obviously relieved after seeing Cheng Ruikai. Cheng Chazhong sat on a pile of suitcases, and hurriedly shouted: "Ruikai, hurry up, the boat is about to leave, why are you so late!" At the end of his eyes, he had already seen Gong Mengshu who was in a hurry, but his face sank, and he still blamed Gong Mengshu for delaying everyone's trip.

Cheng Ruikai nodded, put Baoqin down, and said to Gong Mengshu: "You look at the child, I'll go ahead and make sure everyone hurry up and get on the boat!" Gong Mengshu didn't say anything, the scene was chaotic, the situation was urgent, Cheng Ruikai couldn't take care of it, so he boarded the boat first, and then asked his family and some soldiers to follow him on the boat.

Cheng's family and the crowd scrambled to board the ship, after all, the space in the cabin was limited, but the crowd of people fleeing was only a lot more. The docks were unusually crowded, full of people, and chaotic. Some of the ship's flaming soldiers began to shoot blindly, with the upper echelons of the steamer shooting downwards and the lower echelons shooting upwards, so that the boarding ramp was not visible at all, some were squeezed into the river, and some simply jumped into the water and swam onboard. Boxes of silver dollars were scattered all over the gangway, and no one bothered to pick them up.

The scene was so chaotic, Cheng Ruikai relied on his prestige and outstanding command ability to finally let the entourage get on the boat, and the military uniform on his body was already wet with sweat and stuck to his body. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked around, he saw that Gong Mengshu and Xiao Baoqin were gone.

They didn't get on the boat! His heart panicked, and he hurriedly rushed out of the cabin, and sure enough, he saw Gong Mengshu standing on the gangway with Xiao Baoqin on the way to board the ship, squeezed by the surging crowd, he shouted, "Mengshu! Baoqin!"

At this moment, the whistle of the ship about to leave the shore had sounded, Cheng Ruikai was so anxious that he couldn't care about much, and desperately separated the crowd on the deck, wanting to squeeze down the impassable gangway and pull Gong Mengshu and the child onto the boat. But when Gong Mengshu saw that he was about to rush to pull them, she subconsciously took a step back.

Gong Mengshu's action made Cheng Ruikai a little stunned, but time didn't allow him to think about it too much, he crossed the crowd and was about to pull her again, Gong Mengshu held Baoqin but slowly retreated.

"You, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Ruikai asked Gong Mengshu as slowly as he could, he didn't dare to say it loudly, lest he frighten Gong Mengshu, he suddenly felt Gong Mengshu's retreat, and also felt that his heart was like panic and fear falling to the bottom of the river.

"Come, come on the boat, I can pull you through the crowd-" Cheng Ruikai was stuck in the crowd and couldn't advance or retreat, but he still tried desperately to hold Gong Mengshu's hand.

But Gong Mengshu still didn't say a word, she held the child, looked at Cheng Ruikai with a pair of confused and confused eyes, and then turned her gaze to the deck.

As if sensing something, the Cheng family unexpectedly walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck looking at the unexpected scene in front of them. In the crowd, Lu Qingqing anxiously shouted Gong Mengshu's name: "Mengshu, don't be stunned, come on the boat, don't you want Baoming?"

Gong Mengshu's eyes just stared deeply at Lu Qingqing and Cheng Baoming in her arms. After a while, Lu Qingqing was shocked to find that Gong Mengshu showed her a sad smile, and she seemed to be mouthing to her: "Take good care of the child-"

The whistle sounded again, and the sailors on board began to blast the men on the gangway, ready to put the gangway away and start sailing.

Cheng Ruikai's heart was broken, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Don't drive the boat, my wife and children are still on the shore!" The sailors were shocked by Cheng Ruikai's thunderous shout, but the crowd surging towards the boat was too fierce, and the captain ran out and ordered selflessly, "The boat must be driven immediately, otherwise the ship will be crushed, and none of us will want to live!"

Suddenly, the anchor on the bottom of the sea was retracted, the gangway was slowly raised, and the hull of the ship began to gradually shore the shore.

"Mengshu, Baoqin, what are you going to do?" Cheng Ruikai's face was covered with sweat, he looked at Gong Mengshu who was getting farther and farther away from him in confusion, and his voice changed, "Are you hating me, Mengshu?" he asked her hoarsely through the crowd.

"I know that I have been sorry for you too much in my life, but Mengshu, you have to believe that I have always had you in my heart, and I have only loved you as a woman in my life-" Cheng Ruikai's handsome face was distorted by panic and anxiety.

"Don't be willful, okay?Mengshu, be good, get on the boat-" Cheng Ruikai's voice was hoarse and almost inaudible, "Give me your hand, I'll pull you up-"

Xiao Baoqin saw Cheng Ruikai's hideous and distorted face and anxious tone, and was so frightened that she couldn't help crying "wow", crying and shouting: "I want my father, my father-"

But Gong Mengshu turned a deaf ear to all Cheng Ruikai's words, she stared at Cheng Ruikai with a pair of tearful eyes, and looked at him greedily without moving, as if she wanted to keep his face in her heart forever. After being suppressed for nearly twenty years, she must make another decision for her life. She doesn't want to hold back her life, she just wants to have all the best memories between her and him.

Her youth is in Mingcheng, her home is in Mingcheng, she can't leave, and she can't give up. Then she slowly picked up Baoqin, looked at Cheng Ruikai, and waved goodbye to Cheng Ruikai with Baoqin's small hand.

When she could speak again, Gong Mengshu's voice was completely choked: "Take care, Ruikai, you have to be good, you have to be good for the rest of your life-" She tried her best to hold back her tears, the mist of tears blinded her eyes, but she didn't let her tears flow.

"No, Mengshu, no-" Cheng Ruikai finally found that Gong Mengshu didn't want to get on the boat at all, he stared at her, and accentuated his tone: "Gong Mengshu, you hurry up and get on the boat, I order you! immediately!" But Gong Mengshu stared at him stupidly, his face full of tears, but he refused to respond.

The hull of the ship was already off shore, and the waves from the bottom of the boat pushed the boat farther and farther away from the shore. Cheng Ruikai was unwilling after all, he was like crazy, pushed away the crowd in front of him, and was about to jump off the river and swim back to the shore.

He can't lose her, he can't! Without Gong Mengshu, what is the meaning of his life? Only at this time did he feel that he couldn't live without her, and he couldn't just lose her like this.

"Mengshu, you wait for me, wait for me!" he ran bravely on the deck, rushed to the side of the ship, and wanted to turn over and jump off the boat. At that moment, there was a commotion on the deck, and he noticed that many people were kneeling beside him. His soldiers, his eldest brother and sister-in-law, his wife Lu Qingqing, and his child Cheng Baoming knelt on the deck in unison, looking at him with begging eyes.

"Ruikai, can't you jump, you jump down, do you want our whole family to die with you?" Cheng Chazhong burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Do you bear to let so many people be displaced because of you, and their lives are not guaranteed?" Please, stay on the boat to accompany your father, your brother and your aunt, we can't live without you-" Saying that, he threw away his crutches, and knelt down with a "plop", burying his head deeply.

"Dad, what are you doing, get up!" Cheng Ruikai turned his head to stare at the kneeling people on the deck, his voice was completely dumb.

"No, you left us to get up, otherwise everyone will jump into the river with you!" Cheng Chazhong said categorically.

Cheng Ruikai stared at all the old and young people of the Cheng family, and then looked back at Gong Mengshu standing on the shore, in a dilemma. It was only after a while that he let out a roar like a wounded beast.

"Gong Mengshu, hello, you are ruthless!" He shouted at Gong Mengshu from afar: "Are you taking revenge on me? Even if I am wrong, the sin should not be like this, right? You are digging out my heart all your life! Gong Mengshu, you are ruthless, so ruthless-" His voice was full of desperate pain and hatred, and finally his voice gradually became inaudible and disappeared into the vast river and sea......

Gong Mengshu stared at the boat getting farther and farther away in the river and sea, until it gradually became a small black dot and did not look away. The wind ruffled her hair and dried the tears from her face. She just stood stupidly, motionless, like a petrified statue.

Just like this, she looked at the end of the sky, the twilight was heavy, the night was low, and what was shaking in front of her eyes was still Cheng Ruikai's heart-wrenching and desperate black eyes, and that kind of sad and sad gaze made her never forget.

After a while, Xiao Baoqin, who was standing beside Gong Mengshu, pulled the corner of Gong Mengshu's clothes and asked timidly: "Mother, my father is gone, my brother is also gone, where are we going?"

Gong Mengshu's trance was pulled back, she looked down at Xiao Baoqin in a daze, looked at Baoqin's little face that was very similar to Cheng Ruikai, she slowly squatted down, and held Xiao Baoqin's soft little body in her arms.

The thick fog on the surface of the river, blowing from all directions, shrouded the embankment faintly, swallowing everything, the sky and the water and the sky, and the sky and the earth were white...... Everything will pass away......

……

Postscript: Gong Mengshu took Baoqin back to Mingcheng and found his mother Wu Peisi. After the liberation of the country, she lived with her mother and daughter Baoqin and settled in Shanghai.

At the end of 1989, Cheng Ruikai died in Taipei, Taiwan, at the age of 70.

Appendix: Full Soundtrack: "Dream of Elite" (The storyline of this article is extended from its lyrics:)

White silk yarn, green silk hair, your eyebrows are also picturesque

In a trance, I looked at each other and had no words, and my heart was numb

Eternal Moon Fu Shaohua That moment became an instant

When he passed away, he turned around and tears fell like rain

Hugging the pipa, the sound of the pipa is close at hand, but the end of the world

Looking back on the empty world, a prosperous era is like an epiphany

Red cinnabar, Zhuo Fenghua, Alluring City, Yin Pujia

The peach blossoms turned around and the lonely noise

The night is dark, and the hollow of the five colder is dull

The long scrolls of the rivers and mountains are also yellowed and weathered by history

You and I are hoarse all my life

Before the flower, the moon turns into yellow sand

Kill for you, kill for you, take the world for you

Subvert the world, I have no complaints, struggling in life and death

The truth and falsehood of the vow collapse

The end of the world is close to each other, and there is nothing to say

The vicissitudes of time are picturesque
