The sea is full of sunset, the waves are like naughty children jumping and unstable, and "Hexing No. 12" rises and falls, sailing to Mong Cai according to the scheduled route.

Offshore sailing, and the fourth trip of the month.

Although the sea conditions are not very good, the wind is quite strong and the waves are quite high, but it is really nothing to Boss Chen, who often travels between Hong Kong, Sai Kung and Singapore, but he is a little worried about the students who do not want to stay in the cabin for fear that they will accidentally fall into the sea.

Standing on the edge of the deck, admiring the infinite scenery of the sea, and thinking of what he was about to do, Jiang Wenshui was full of emotion, and couldn't help but look back and say: "Students, look at the mighty and unfathomable sea where the water meets on this day. I finally understood what is broad and profound, and what is open and magnificent. From ancient times to the present, the reason why people praise it is because it is vast and vast, because it contains hundreds of rivers, collects trickles, and has a broad and open mind, so the ten thousand trickling streams gather to it, and the surging rivers are rushing for it! ”

The development of the Overseas Chinese Youth Federation on the embankment can be described as rapid.

First, due to geographical relations, they are too close and know too much, and the Cantonese, Chaoshan and Hakka people account for the majority, and relatives and friends in their hometowns have even fled to Hong Kong, and at the same time face the threat of the Viet Minh, unlike Singapore, Malay, Indonesia and Filipino overseas Chinese youth, who can "produce beauty because of distance". I have no feeling for the mainland, and I don't have any feelings for the Nationalist Government, which has retreated to Taiwan in a complete defeat.

The Chinese Youth Association is not radical in its thinking, and its ideas are very pragmatic, and in this political vacuum and confused belief environment, it naturally has a market and is naturally popular.

Second, the Chinese Youth Association is different from the general political party, it is more like a complex of public welfare charities and youth clubs, there are not so many rules, and it can be carried out in an open and honest manner, without being mysterious, and even parents can rest assured.

Third, the Huaqing Association has a group of influential members, and almost all the richest rich sons on the embankment have joined, and the donation fee has exceeded the sesame oil money of the Qiongfu Association. Members have become a status symbol, rich families for business, ordinary people for their children to have a better future, not only will not object, but mobilize their own children to participate.

There are more than 10,000 registered members and more every day.

There is a branch in a middle school on the embankment, and a branch in a city in other places, and more than 40 branches have been set up one after another. There are more than 300,000 compatriots in Nong District, not many of whom are studying but many young people, and a branch must be established to develop members.

More importantly, as a community with ideas and ideals, it can't always get together to eat, drink, and talk, but to do something practical, and to enhance the cohesion of the community by doing practical things, so a "service group to assist the southward migration and resettlement of compatriots in Nong District" composed of more than 30 branch representatives was formed, so there was this trip to Mong Cai.

More than 300,000 compatriots have migrated south, which is rare in history.

Yu Xiaokun is from the Boliao branch, and at the same time serves as the deputy head of the service group, thinking of the hundreds of thousands of compatriots in the Nong District who had to leave their hometowns again in order to survive, he couldn't help but sigh: "We must have the mind of embracing all rivers and rivers, and we must break the stereotypes of gangs. ”

Seagulls spread their wings and fly on the surface of the sea.

They fight in the sky, persevere, and are really intriguing. Suddenly, a wave rushed from far and near, like thousands of horses, marching in unison, making a loud rumbling sound.

A student from the Dishi branch was deeply affected and loudly proposed: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's sing, sing the song that Mr. Li composed when he saw him off!" ”

In Li Weimin's view, the southward migration of hundreds of thousands of people is the "Long March" of the Nong people, and this experience will become the spiritual wealth of the Vietnamese Chinese, and those who participate in it can receive a certain degree of spiritual baptism, which will make more than one million Vietnamese Chinese more united and have a greater sense of crisis, so he attaches great importance to the service group.

Propaganda is too important, especially an impassioned inspirational song, which can greatly boost the morale of Chinese youth. So when he saw him off at the pier, he improvised a catchy and very easy-to-learn song "Everyone Paddles a Big Boat".

This is definitely a song that can no longer be adapted to the situation, Jiang Wenshui grabbed the side of the boat with one hand, and sang excitedly with the beat of the other hand: "A penny, it is difficult to cross the ocean; The people rowed their oars and started the galleon; A small tree, weak and can't help the wind and rain; Hundreds of miles of forest, side by side to endure the cold, endure the cold! ”

"One plus ten, ten plus hundred, hundreds plus thousands, you add me, I add you, everyone is connected!"

"In the same boat, the sea makes way, the trumpet shouts that the waves are on the side, the hundreds of boats are competing for thousands of sails, the waves are behind, and the shore is in front! One plus ten, ten plus hundred, hundreds plus thousands, you add me, I add you, everyone is connected, and they are in the same boat, so make way for the sea......"

The impassioned singing echoed on the deck, and Boss Chen looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "A-Ning, these boys sing very well, and everyone is rowing the big boat, as if they are singing about us running boats." ”

The second officer held the wooden steering wheel and laughed: "That's a metaphor, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"That's right, a boat can use thousands of people."

……

At 9:42 p.m., the cargo ship "Wo Hing No. 12" finally arrived safely at the small wharf of Mong Cai.

Dozens of students from Nong District, under the leadership of a teacher-like person, warmly welcomed the "service group", hugged each other, shook hands, and helped carry luggage.

As soon as they were picked up, a group of soldiers boarded the boat and began to unload the tents and other supplies needed for the retreat south. After all the hundreds of tons of supplies were unloaded, boxes of munitions were carried onto the ship, all of which were accumulated little by little in the past few years, and tonight was the first batch, and after all of them were transported to the south, it would be enough to equip a division.

Under the arrangement of Huang Yasheng and others, even some of the sophisticated equipment used by the active troops had to be sealed at the beginning of the large-scale southward evacuation operation, and only the broken guns and some old guns that had been eliminated were handed over to the French, and in this way, they told the South Vietnamese government that the Nongs were not ready to continue the war, and planned to disarm and return to the field for a few days to live in peace.

Weapons and equipment should be transported south first, and the old, weak, sick and disabled should go ahead of schedule.

More than 200 people of all ages and children were waiting quietly by the dock with large bags and small bags on their backs. In the afternoon, they had already said goodbye, and all the relatives had gone back, and only one doctor and one nurse were with them, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

In a small house more than ten meters away from the wharf, Han Shuo looked at a six- or seven-year-old girl in the crowd and said in a low voice: "Your sister will be well taken care of, as soon as she arrives in Xidi, she will go to the best Mingdao Primary School, and in the future, she will go to junior high school, high school and even university." If possible, I'll have someone bring you a few photos to tell you how she's doing. In short, from now on, you don't have to worry about her anymore. ”

In the shadows stood a thin-looking child about sixteen or seventeen years old, who licked his lips and choked up, "Thank you, Uncle Han." ”

"I should thank you, and that's what I should do."

Han Shuo lit a cigarette and continued: "It's time to explain everything, from now on you are Ruan Siguang, come with me to Hanoi early tomorrow morning, no one will know you there, and no one will know you after all the Nong District is evacuated." As long as you pay attention to yourself, don't ask around, and don't let others know that you can speak Chinese and you know Chinese, there will be no danger. ”

"I'm not going to let them know."

"There are some things that I can't control, such as accidentally talking in my sleep at night. So you have to forget your previous name and think of yourself as Ruan Siguang. In addition, don't be in a hurry, they will do whatever you want, you can't be positive, and you can't be too positive, because in our business, the more ordinary and inconspicuous the safer. ”

"Uncle Han, don't worry, I won't be in the limelight."

"My mother is worried, after your parents left, I have always treated your brothers and sisters as my own children, leaving you alone in Hanoi, can I rest assured? But I can't find a more suitable and reliable person, so I can only let you stay. ”

"Ruan Siguang" raised his head, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Uncle Han, it's not you who asked me to stay, I want to stay." ”
