Next, Wang Zijun made an additional investment of $500,000 in Industrial Light & Magic to purchase equipment and recruit professionals in optics, acoustics, and mechanics and electronics.

Another trip to MITS was a trip to the company, which had long ceased its original calculator business. Roberts was personally responsible for the development of the personal computer.

Wang Zijun briefly asked about their R&D progress, and Roberts said: "Several of the biggest problems have been solved, and it is expected that the first finished product can be obtained within two months." Then there is the problem of application software, and there are almost no elite talents in this area of the company at present. ”

Wang Zijun said: "This is a good solution, and when the time comes, our results will be announced on the "Popular Electronics", and there will be many people who will recommend themselves." ”

"Yes, I think the same way, you are so clever, Wang." Roberts smiled, "By the way, congratulations on winning the Grand Prize at the Golden Globes." ”

"Thank you, and I wish us all the best in our research." Wang Zijun said.

The voting for the Oscars has begun, but Wang Zijun has to rush back to Taiwan.

The news that Wang Zijun won the Golden Globe Award for Best Film has long been transmitted back to Asia, and this news has not only made the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles boil, but even Japan has been reported a lot. Because Japan's film industry has been a bit bad in recent years, the world-famous master Kurosawa is at a low point, and other artists can occasionally win awards at European film festivals, but they have never been able to enter Hollywood.

However, soon, the attention of the Hong Kong and Taiwan media to Wang Zijun disappeared without a trace, because there was a news from Taipei - Chiang Kai-shek had died. Compared with Chiang Kai-shek's death, Wang Zijun's award in Hollywood has become insignificant.

Back in Taipei, Wang Zijun immediately felt a strange atmosphere. First of all, there was grief, every house hung the blue sky and white sun flag and the portrait of Chiang Kai-shek, and some citizens gathered together to cry loudly, among which the saddest were the veterans who moved to Taiwan with the Kuomintang.

Schools were also closed, and students gathered in their classrooms or playgrounds to mourn in silence, looking at their weeping teachers with innocent eyes, not knowing what they were doing.

Some of these suffering people are pretended, but more often they are sincere, which may be incomprehensible to future generations. This was the case when Lao Chiang died, Kim Il Sung died, and when Premier Zhou and Mao Taizu died, ordinary people cried even more.

Only when Deng Gong died, it seemed that this kind of large-scale collective crying was much less. It is not that Deng Gong is not loved by the people, but that there is a lack of organization from the administrative force.

(Lao Wang also has a notebook at home, the size of a palm, with a red plastic shell printed with Beijing's Tiananmen Square embossing golden light.) The contents of the notebook, in addition to some excerpts of Chairman Mao's quotations, are the notes of Lao Wang's father who was called to the commune to mourn the great man when Taizu died. Listening to my father, it seemed that I had to go at that time, and I had to cry, and if I didn't cry, it was disrespectful to the leader, and after crying, I had to make study notes to express my remembrance of the great man. Lao Wang's father said that he was only in his teens at the time, and he didn't understand fart, so he couldn't cry when he cried, so he had to poke his eyes with his fingers, and finally his eyes were swollen for several days, and he cried when he saw the light. ）

From morning to night, all TV and radio stations were mourning content, all entertainment programs were suspended, the entire Taipei crew was forced to stop filming movies and television, and nightclubs were also forced to close.

After Wang Zijun got off the plane, he went straight to his home in Yonghe Town, and Lin Qingxia silently helped him open the door.

For Lin Qingxia's generation, they did not have deep feelings for Chiang Kai-shek, but they were taught to respect and worship Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek since childhood. Although the Kuomintang's brainwashing education is far inferior to that of the Communist Party, the personality cult after the relocation to Taiwan has also been impressive.

"Zijun is back, Dad is upstairs." Wang Zirong is sitting on the sofa watching TV boringly, and the major gangs in Taiwan are rarely on vacation today.

Wang Zijun walked upstairs and pushed open his father's door, but saw Wang Xianzhi sitting on the ground, calmly wiping the old photos from before.

Looking at the sad look in Wang Xianzhi's eyes, Wang Zijun suddenly understood that perhaps for these old soldiers, Chiang Kai-shek's death meant that their era had passed forever.

Those young people who cry bitterly may pretend to be, but for the older generation, their grief is sincere, not only crying Chiang Kai-shek, but also crying their youth and their life ideals.

Just like on the other side of the strait, when the news of Chairman Mao's death arrived, countless people felt as if the sky had fallen. ,

"Help me up." Wang Xianzhi said suddenly.

Wang Zijun hurriedly went over to help him stand up, but he felt that his old father, who had always been tough, was trembling all over his body at this moment, as if he had lost his spirit, and he was dozens of years old all of a sudden.

Wang Xianzhi walked to the balcony, the blue sky and white sun flag hanging outside fluttered in the wind, Wang Xianzhi sighed long and did not say a word.

After a long time, Wang Xianzhi suddenly said: "In two days, you and your brother will go with me to see off the old president." ”

Zijun nodded.

…………………………………………………………

Chiang Kai-shek died on April 5, and Wang Zijun rushed back on the 6th. If such a big incident happens, it can't be done if he doesn't come back, otherwise what will the authorities think of him in the future?

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's body had been transferred to the Veterans General Hospital, and the next day citizens were allowed to go to mourn and pay respects to Chiang's remains. On April 9, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall was completed, and Chiang Kai-shek's mourning hall was moved to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall again.

On this day, Wang Xianzhi took his family to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall to mourn.

In the car, Wang Zirong said helplessly: "Dad, many officials have to come to worship today, we can't squeeze in until it gets dark, wouldn't it be better to come again tomorrow."

For Wang Zirong, he really didn't want to go to that kind of place to show his face, and Chiang Kai-shek's death was more meaningful to him than his brother being cut into the hospital.

Wang Zijun said: "Big brother, don't worry, the funeral committee has already approved it, and after those dignitaries, we can go in." ”

"Okay, it's still Zijun that you have face." Wang Zirong said.

After the car entered Taipei City, it soon became unmovable, and traffic control was imposed on the street through which Chiang Kai-shek's hearse was to pass.

On both sides of the road, it was densely packed with people, and I heard that more than 2 million people came to see them off today.

All of them were dressed in plain clothing, and the people of the military merit education system wore black veils on their arms. Wang Xianzhi and Wang Zijun also have one on their arms, Wang Xianzhi is a veteran, and Wang Zijun is because he joined the Kuomintang.

The family walked to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and along the way, in addition to the citizens who came to see them off, there were countless journalists, including many European and American journalists.

After a while, Chiang Kai-shek's hearse came slowly, Wang Zijun observed the people around him, only to see some people crying loudly, some people looking solemn, and some people purely to see the excitement.

When the hearse passed, Wang Xianzhi suddenly stood upright, looked at the hearse and gave a dignified military salute.

Wang Zijun couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and it was the first time that he experienced the death of a leader with an adult mentality. When Deng Gong died in his previous life, he was still a little child, and not only did he not feel any grief, but he was dissatisfied with the news about Deng Gong broadcast on the TV station all day long, because he couldn't see cartoons for several days.

After the hearse passed, some went home on their own, while many more followed silently.

Outside the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, the black pressure is full of human heads. Wang Zijun's family, who were not well prepared, couldn't squeeze through at all, so they had to find the thing responsible for guarding and maintaining order, and showed them their documents and the obituary given by the funeral committee, and then entered through the special channel.

When Wang Zijun entered, he saw the new president Yan Jiagan leading a large compound to guard the spirit, and Jiang Jingguo, as his son-in-law, was reading the eulogy.

After the corresponding ceremony, one by one dignitaries and celebrities came forward to offer condolences, including many acquaintances known to Wang Zijun. Especially those officials, one by one, they were like dead fathers and sons, crying loudly.

This is nothing, when Chiang Kai-shek's hearse set off at the Veterans General Hospital, "Chairman of the Taiwan Provincial Government" Xie Dongmin even led the officials of various counties and cities to cry and kneel to see them off, which was quite a bit of a "tribute to the former king."

As for how much of the tears of these officials are true, only the ghost knows.

"Wang Xianzhi, the former major of the XX Regiment of the XX Division of the 26th Army of the National ** Army, brought his eldest son Wang Zirong, eldest daughter-in-law Wu Xiaozhen, second son Wang Zijun, and second daughter-in-law Lin Qingxia to express condolences to ......President Xian."

Under the leadership of his father, Wang Zijun followed step by step.

The appearance of Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia immediately made countless reporters look sideways, especially the emcee's words surprised them, Lin Qingxia and Wang Zijun were already married.

But now is not the time to play gossip news, if anyone dares to talk and laugh at such a time, it is estimated that they will be arrested when they go out.

Wang Xianzhi walked to the coffin and knelt down directly, and the two brothers Wang Zirong and Wang Zijun had to kneel down and kowtow.

The dead are big, the dead are big, Wang Zijun kowtowed and thought silently in his heart. ,

Wang Xianzhi got up and walked to Song Meiling, and saluted: "Madame> mourning"

Song Meiling's eyes were red from crying, and she replied, "Thank you." ”

Wang Zijun went out in a circle with his father, but found Sun Xibi, a dead fat man, in the crowd of condolences, who was coming in with a couple in their fifties and his eldest sister >.

Sun Xibi obviously saw Wang Zijun as well, but now it was not the time to speak, so he only blinked at him quickly, and solemnly went to the spirit to worship.

――――――――――――――

Today is the 37th anniversary of Jiang Gong, and this chapter can be regarded as a commemoration.

Not long ago, Lao Wang's grandfather also passed away, but the descendants felt comforted, because my grandfather suffered from Alzheimer's disease for a long time, he didn't know anything about eating, drinking, and Lazar, and even didn't remember his relatives at all.

In another ten minutes, the memorial service for the starting writer "Howling in the Wind" will begin in Hechuan, Chongqing. Lao Wang was a fan of Fengda when he was in high school, and he was caught peeking at Fengda's "Legend of Modern Yandi" in class, and expressed his deep condolences to Fengda here.

Lao Wang studied in Hechuan for four years, and now he knows that Feng Da lives in Hechuan. Especially when I arrived in Xinjiang from Chongqing last week, I knew where I would stay for a few more days, and I missed the opportunity to make the last trip to the wind.

The death of Feng Da is completely a classic scene of the starting point through the novel, hoping that his old man can travel to the rich family, and enjoy the immortal blessing forever.
