Before I retired, I had already thought about how to make my old age comfortable and meaningful, and not to feel like I had nothing to do, couldn't find my place, or even felt spiritually empty. You have to find something to do so that you don't get lost. At that time, there was no activity room for veteran cadres, so I read books and newspapers every day, planted some vegetables, engaged in some manual labor, combined work and rest, and my daily life was also very fulfilling.

I like to read books and newspapers, which is my strength. I can sit for a long time to read a book, and I don't get tired of it at all, and I can get spiritual edification and happiness from books. Order a few newspapers and magazines, and you can know about the world's major events without leaving home. Take a two-hour nap, go to bed at half past nine in the evening, get up at dawn, and live a very regular life. Eat fat and thin, tofu, vegetables, fish are inevitable, more than a pound of rice a day, enough nutrition and calories, I do more housework, so that my wife can work with peace of mind (she was not retired at that time). Now I don't have the pain of teaching, the hard work of the case, the burden of the family, the whole body is relaxed, the life is steadfast, I strive for a long life, and health is a blessing.

I didn't have any illness in my life, I only lived in the compound once, and I lived in it for more than half a year. Due to the enlargement of the prostate and urinary incontinence caused by a cold, he was rushed to Tianyuan District Hospital for surgery, and the slices were diagnosed as cancer, which frightened his wife, and then the slices were sent to Hongdu 94 Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital for testing, and it was determined that it was not cancer, which eliminated the worries of the whole family. During the hospitalization, Sister Hui and my wife have been with me, and Sister Hui is also tired, and I am very grateful to my sister for her careful care.

When I was hospitalized in Amahara, it was the New Year, and my brother and wife took good care of me, and they brought me three nutritious meals a day. On the 29th of the lunar calendar, the enrollment went home to take the whole family for the New Year, and on the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first, second, and third days of the new year, they were all accompanied by the clan brothers until the wife came. The vice chairman of the county CPPCC handled the procedures for me to be transferred to the sanatorium of the senior cadre ward, and the leaders of the county education bureau also visited me many times, and I am very grateful for their concern. The conditions of the Gaogan ward sanatorium are superior, the environment is quiet, more than 100 days and nights are carefully cared for by the old wife, the body recovers quickly, and it was not discharged until June when all recovered, and the physical fitness has declined after a serious illness.

One day in the spring of 1992, Principal Li of Wenshan Chinese Martial Arts School came to the Education Commission, and wanted to find a newly retired, influential, and manageable person to manage the school for him.

This is a new private martial arts school, the first one in Wenshan, which can be described as ahead of its time. This school was first called "Chunsheng Martial Arts School", located in the Cultural Palace, the scale is relatively small, and then negotiated with Wenshan Normal and signed a joint agreement, leasing an old building of the Normal School as a classroom, using their venue, expanding the influence, so the number of students is increasing.

Cultural classes are divided into junior high school classes and high school classes, mainly Chinese and mathematics, and part-time learning of English, which is in charge of the normal teacher, and martial arts are also divided into junior high school classes and high school classes, and martial arts classes are in charge of martial arts coaches. I mainly practice martial arts every day, and I also study on my own in the evening. First of all, I should strengthen the education of teachers' ethics and style. Focus on strengthening the sense of responsibility education of class teachers and martial arts coaches. Second, student management has been strengthened. A "Student Code" has been developed to hold class competitions and allow students to manage themselves. The third is to strengthen supervision and inspection. Listen to one or two classes every day, check classrooms and dormitories, and solve problems in a timely manner. The school has formed a good style of teaching and learning, the quality of education has been improved, the reputation of the school has a good reputation, the number of students has gradually increased, students from all over the country have come to study, some from Xinjiang to study, the school is prosperous.

One day in September 1993, our third brother Zhang Xuexi, who had been thinking about it for more than 40 years, returned to his hometown in Wenshan County with his sister-in-law for the first time.

Forty-five years have passed since August 1948, when we got the news that they were going back to their hometown, and we were so happy that we didn't sleep well for a few days and nights. This day has made us wait too long and too long. My wife and Xiao Jian and I went to Hongdu Airport to pick them up early in the morning, and the third sister, Sister Hui, and Brother Zongdi also rented a car to arrive before us. At the exit of the airport, we finally met our dear brother, sister-in-law, and Pingsheng.

Pingsheng first went from Nanzhao Province to Shencheng City to meet his father, and then arrived in Hongdu on the same plane. I met my parents for the first time in more than 40 years. Everyone hugged warmly, shook hands tightly, as if they were afraid of flying away, a thousand words did not know where to start, and they were so excited that they burst into tears, how much love, how much love, turned into crystal tears. Although my sister-in-law came for the first time, we didn't feel a little rusty when we met. Everyone talked and laughed all the way, and the third brother and sister-in-law also forgot the fatigue of the journey, asked this and that, and recalled yesterday's story.

When they arrived home, the relatives welcomed the elder brother and sister-in-law to their hometown with long firecrackers and warm applause, and set up a banquet for the elder brother and sister-in-law to receive the wind and wash the dust.

The arrival of the third brother and three sisters-in-law added a lot of joy and happiness to the Zhang family, and the family took turns to feast every day, and the third brother and three sisters-in-law also feasted on the Zhang clan, which was a rare reunion. My brother and I are here. During the banquet, everyone frequently raised their glasses, wishing the motherland prosperity and the early completion of the great cause of reunification.

My family invited the third brother and three sisters-in-law to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dadong Mountain, visited the TV transmitter, and the third brother struggled to climb to the top of the high TV tower, feeling that he was unable to do it, after all, he was already a 71-year-old man. I wanted to stay in Dongshan Villa for a few days, but due to the sudden cold weather, I went down the mountain early.

The third sister-in-law is very affectionate to her sister, sister, uncle, and nephew, and talks softly with the admissions sisters from time to time, asking a lot about her hometown and family, and she is tireless all day long. She felt so happy to have such a big family. The third brother and sister-in-law also took the time to go to Xikeng's sister's house to visit her and her children and grandchildren (her brother-in-law has passed away), had lunch there, took pictures, and returned to Wenshan County in the afternoon.

The third brother's itinerary in Wenshan is very compact, he went to the county town to visit the place where we were born, saw the old house that gave birth to us and raised us, saw things and missed relatives, tears of sadness, the past more than 40 years ago is vivid, the third brother tears are all over the place, affectionately pointed to the old house and said: "Brother, this is where my mother gave birth to us, we are going out from here, remember!" The ancestral industry must not be lost......"

We stopped at the old house and quietly prayed to this old house, and everyone shed sad tears. Seeing the old house is like seeing our parents, seeing our childhood brothers and sisters, and we are reluctant to leave for a long time. Later, we went to the north of the city to visit the Zhang clan and greet them. The third brother clearly remembered whose descendants they were, inquired about the family situation in detail, and gave Xuezhong and Xuefen a red envelope each when they left.

"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless."

The third brother lived in Wenshan for more than 20 days, and the brothers and brothers-in-law warmly invited the third brother and his wife to the house as guests, and I also invited them to the cold house for a few days, and then Pingsheng sent his parents to Shencheng City, his parents flew to the north of the island, and he flew back to Nanzhao Province, ending this historic reunion.
