Chapter 317: My Chinese Heart
The Hong Kong boss lived up to expectations and contacted Ling Yunlan's relatives on the other side of the strait through channels. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that at this time, Ling Yunlan's eldest grandfather has passed away, and only the fourth grandfather is still alive on Wanwan's side.
After arriving at Wanwan, Ling Yunlan's eldest grandfather and fourth grandfather took off their military uniforms, and with their own efforts, they spread out again, and they were a thriving family in Wanwan.
At this time, everyone in the family gathered together to listen to the Hong Kong boss introduce the situation of his relatives on the mainland.
Holding the letter written by the second brother and the third brother, the fourth grandfather was in tears, and he couldn't say a word in a choked voice.
The children around him, some were patting the old man's back, some were holding the old man's beloved purple teapot, and some were standing on the old man's side for fear that the old man would make a mistake, and everyone comforted him vigorously, saying that this was a good thing and he should be happy.
As for the grandchildren, they stood or sat not far from the living room, bored to look at the bitter love drama in front of them, and secretly slandered in their hearts.
Is it a poor relative on the mainland who has come to the door?
At this time, Wanwan, together with Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea, is known as the Four Asian Tigers, and is one of the most developed and wealthy countries or regions in Asia. In the eyes of young people, only Japan and the United States are in the eyes of them, and even South Korea has not entered their eyes, let alone the mainland.
When it comes to the mainland, the first scene that young people think of is the old gentleman with a strong mainland accent and random spitting that they often see on the road. These people are the veterans of other provinces who retreated to Wanwan back then, and many people say that mainlanders are like this, and there are no rules at all.
The mainland should be a poor, dirty and messy place!
Ling Yunliang, the third son of the fourth grandfather's family, is studying in middle school, and his temperament is active. The other children were still pretending to stay at the back of the living room, but he couldn't sit still, he quietly stood up, bypassed the crowd in front of him, and slipped to the side of the Hong Kong boss.
On the coffee table next to the Hong Kong boss were some things brought from the mainland, an envelope that had been torn, Teochew specialties, and two stacks of bound manuscript paper.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the heartbroken grandfather, and no one noticed him, the kid rolled his eyes and picked up a stack of manuscript paper on the coffee table.
Not?
What the hell is this!
It's actually a horizontal word!
Japanese characters?
It's not like that!
Ling Yunliang was a little blinded by the words that came into his eyes, the words on this manuscript were like heavenly books, he didn't even know any of them!
Ling Yunliang, who was too lazy to ponder, put the book back on the coffee table, and picked up another stack of bound manuscript paper.
This time he understood.
But I still feel some flowers in my eyes.
Whoever writes horizontally is simply too unlevel!
Ling Yunliang pursed his lips, looked up and saw that everyone hadn't paid attention to him, and quickly slipped back to his seat.
As soon as he sat down, the second brother Ling Yunshan on the side came over: "Yunliang, what the hell are you doing!" Beware of dad beating you! ”
"Second brother, look." Ling Yunliang offered a treasure and handed over the manuscript paper in his hand.
"How is it written horizontally?" Ling Yunshan frowned and browsed the text on the manuscript paper.
"yes, it looks pretty awkward." Ling Yunliang said as he and his second brother got together to read the words on the manuscript paper.
And then, no more.
After struggling to read the words on the manuscript paper, the two could no longer take care of the grandfather in front of them, nor the elders and peers in front, only the sound of small quarrels kept coming out.
"Second brother, don't turn it over yet, I haven't finished reading it yet!"
"Yun Liang, hurry up and look, I'm in a hurry."
“……”
When asking the Hong Kong boss to find her relatives, Ling Yunlan not only cut out the "Bright Sword" serialized in "Tongpao" magazine, but because she was worried that the eldest grandfather and the fourth grandfather could not read simplified characters, she asked a teacher at the school who could write traditional Chinese characters to help re-copy "Bright Sword" in traditional Chinese characters, which was very intimate.
Unexpectedly, the fourth grandfather didn't see it yet, and was first looked at by the two brothers Ling Yunshan and Ling Yunliang.
Just when the two brothers were watching enthusiastically, the fourth grandfather, who was sitting at the top of the living room, finally handed the letter written to him by the two brothers in his hand and made him cry once he read it to the eldest son on the side.
Maybe young people don't think it, but for these old people who are about to enter the earth, what they hope most is to be able to connect with the mainland of the motherland, and their biggest dream is to be able to be buried in the land of their hometown in the future.
Just like the song sings, although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese, and my ancestors have already branded everything I have with a Chinese seal!
The fourth grandfather, who had calmed down, finally thought of the Hong Kong boss on the side, "Let Boss Wang make you laugh, our brothers haven't seen each other for more than 30 years, and when I saw the letter, I showed my feelings for a while......"
"Where, where, the old gentleman's innocence touched me very much! But take care of your health, old gentleman, and I'm sure your brothers will meet one day. Hong Kong Boss Wang heard the words of the fourth grandfather and hurriedly said.
"I hope so! By the way, second child, you can arrange for Boss Wang to stay in the Yuanshan Hotel now, and remember to book the best room. The fourth grandfather, who has regained his composure, still has the vigor and resoluteness of when he was a soldier.
"Sir, you're too polite." When Boss Wang heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
It's true that he is the boss of Hong Kong, but the business is not very big, otherwise he would not go to the mainland to do business. I didn't expect to do a favor to my business partners in the mainland, and I was blessed from heaven. He inquired, this old Mr. Ling is a well-known financial tycoon in Taipei, and now that he has taken this line, his future business will definitely be very promising. Therefore, in the future, the mainland side will also use more dim sum.
After sending the Hong Kong boss out of the living room, the fourth grandfather couldn't wait to come to the place where the Hong Kong boss was sitting just now, with the support of the boss. The second brother's letter said that his granddaughter Ling Yunlan specially sent a book to the eldest grandfather and the fourth grandfather.
Like Ling Yunliang, the fourth grandfather is also a little unfamiliar with simplified characters, especially when he is older, he is even more dizzy when he looks at simplified characters.
And at this time, someone finally noticed the weirdness of Ling Yunshan and Ling Yunliang.
"What are you two doing?" The third son of the fourth grandfather shouted angrily when he saw the ghostly appearance of his two sons.
Then everyone noticed the manuscript paper in Ling Yunliang's hand.
After a lesson, the traditional version of the manuscript paper finally reached the hands of the fourth grandfather.
The old man looked hard with reading glasses, and several middle-aged people of his or her generation were accompanied by him, while a group of young people were kicked out of the living room.
"Yun Liang, what did you just see?"
Outside the living room, a group of young people gathered.
"It's a novel." Being criticized by his father, Ling Yunliang was a little listless.
"I'm telling you, this novel is amazing! It's very good-looking! is about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was an officer named Li Yunlong in the Eighth Route Army...... "Ling Yunshan was older, and he quickly put what had just happened behind him, and proudly boasted to his brothers and sisters about the plot of "Bright Sword" he had just seen.
"Wow......"
"So powerful?"
"Sounds so funny!"
……
The envious voices of a group of young people rang out from time to time.
For Ling Yunshan and Ling Yunliang, who had just seen the original text of the novel, everyone was envious, jealous and hateful.
As for the poor relatives of the continent, what continent should be dirty and messy, they were all left behind for a while.
The Communist Party on the mainland has such an interesting officer!
Seems interesting!
In the living room, the fourth grandfather slowly looked at the traditional version of "Bright Sword".
As a former Kuomintang colonel officer, as a veteran who also fought bloodily in the anti-Japanese battlefield, young people see lively and strange, but he looks at history and memory.
Although he still has prejudices against the Communist Party, the old man is still moved to tears when he looks at it, and this move makes the children who are waiting on the side worried.
The old man has shed all the tears he has endured all these years!
The children looked at each other, but they did not dare to disturb the old man.
……
……
From December 18 to 22, 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing. At a grim historical juncture that has a bearing on the fate and future of the country, China's highest-level politicians, represented by Deng Gong, have made a major policy decision to carry out reform and opening up. Since then, with the implementation of the reform and opening up policy, foreigners and Hong Kong people who have come to the mainland to pan for gold have begun to appear in Chinese mainland.
With the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and with the success of Sino-British negotiations, there are more and more gold diggers and speculators on the land of China, and the ties between China and foreign countries, China and Hong Kong have become closer and closer.
As a result, long-lost comrades began to regain contact, and many Chinese living abroad and Hong Kong began to return to the mainland to see the land that made them haunt their dreams, to see the people in their hometown, and to see the place where their ancestors lived.
But this situation has nothing to do with bending.
At that time, as the Kuomintang retreated to Wanwan, and the sudden blockade of Wanwan and the mainland, too many people were artificially separated, and brothers and sisters, parents and children, husbands and wives, and close friends were red-faced......
The partisan strife that has been entangled for decades has cut off the contact between people on both sides of the strait in a short strait.
As a matter of fact, as early as the end of the 70s, the second-generation leaders of the Chinese government issued a letter to the compatriots, putting forward the idea of ending the confrontation between the two sides and sitting down to realize the peaceful reunification of the motherland through negotiations.
But none of this was met with a response from the authorities.
The end of the world is no different.
But where is the people's desire for communication and exchange that a strait can stop? What's more, the people of the two places are not too far apart.
Fishermen along the coast can meet each other on the surface of the sea. If the radio in your house is loud, I can hear it here.
You can meet and listen to the radio, but you can't communicate face-to-face!
The farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but I stand in front of you, but I can't say I love you!
As a result, the unwilling people on both sides of the strait sought all ways to contact their families on the other side of the strait, and then Hong Kong emerged as a transit point.
A jar of old sauerkraut, a can of pickles, a bag of millet, and a few packs of soybeans through Hong Kong can also let distant family members taste the taste of hometown......
The story of Ling Yunlan's family is just one of thousands of similar families.
……
……
I have always forgotten to say that Ling Yunlan in the book is a friendship of Ling Yunlan's sister of the book friend. arranged a lot of relatives for Sister Qing, Khan ...... Table hit me.
