1st Round: Relatives on Taiwan Island (Part I)

The reform and reform in the 80s of the last century led many Hong Kong people to invest and set up factories in the mainland. It is said that the temple in Guo Kaishan's hometown, destroyed during the turmoil, the monks in the temple have gone their separate ways, among which there is a young monk who came to Hong Kong, because of his exquisite Buddhism and wisdom, he soon became a generation of monks in Hong Kong.

Finally in the early eighties of the last century, he led the "Hong Kong Buddhist Delegation" and took the opportunity to go to the capital to participate in the "Hongfa Conference", and returned to his hometown City A by the way.

When the monks came back, they not only funded the repair of the dilapidated temple, but also built a decent primary school in the village.

Before leaving, the monk and Guo's mother had a good conversation, he received the favor of Guo's mother in his early years, so Guo's mother's request, but also in mind, Guo's mother proposed to let him, help find the brother who went to Taiwan, and the monk agreed.

After a few years, when the monk returned to the countryside of City A again, it was just in time for Guo's father to die at the beginning of the year, in order to fulfill the kindness of Guo's mother back then, the monk gave Guo's father another ritual, and overlived the undead.

"Your brother, I helped you find it."

Guo's mother has been sullen since Guo's father's death, and when she heard this great monk say this today, she quickly became nervous.

"Really?"

"It's true, I was once invited by a senior monk on Taiwan Island to attend the Garan Puja, and I met a few local lay celebrities, so I told them about you, and I left them the information they were looking for, but what I didn't expect was that it was just a year after I returned to Hong Kong. Suddenly, one day, an old gentleman came to my temple and said that he was your brother, and said that your information was not bad at all, this is his name, do you see it right? ”

As he spoke, the monk took out a notebook, which was densely packed with a lot of small characters, and Guo's mother put on reading glasses. read it carefully, and saw that the familiar words, with the past decades ago, made Guo's mother more sad the more she looked at it, and she simply shed tears after the most embarrassing thing.

"Old man, it's a good thing that I found my brother, why are you crying."

"I cried with joy, I have kept this secret for almost forty years. I thought he wasn't there anymore, but he was still thinking about me. ”

Guo's mother's brother, after arriving on Taiwan Island, in the early sixties of the last century. He left the army and received the resettlement money, and Guo's mother and brother, opened a small hotel in the central city, and in the almost ten years since they arrived on Taiwan Island. He has never had a family, and he is still missing his relatives back home, as well as his newly married wife.

Next to Guo's mother and brother's small hotel. It is a fruit shop, and the owner has a daughter, who is very well-behaved, and she is attracted by the talent of Guo's mother and brother, so she falls in love with him deeply.

The civil war at the end of the 40s of the last century sent many young soldiers to Taiwan Island, but most of them were professional soldiers, and there were still very few "high-end talents" like Guo's mother and brother.

He has a tall figure, his white skin is very smooth, he can't tell that he is in his thirties, and under the mediation of a kind leader, the daughter of a fruit shop owner who is only nineteen years old is married to Guo's mother and brother, who is nearly twenty years older than her, and they are thus united.

In the seventies of the last century, Taiwan Island became one of the "Asian Four Little Tigers", the economy developed rapidly, Guo's mother and brother relied on the good relationship with the military circles, and got the "privilege" of selling cheap fruits to Japan, plus the husband and wife were concentric, the business was booming, and the factory was opened in the central city, and the taxi company, it can be said that it was famous, and they also had their own children, but the eldest of their family was a few years younger than Guo Kaiying of the old Guo family, and Guo Kaiwei's son's age was imitated.

Guo's mother is a brother and has a wide range of friends, but he has been looking for an opportunity to return to his hometown in the mainland, but the situation between the two sides of the strait has been very tense, and finally one day in the mid-eighties of the last century, he got a good news from his old friend, that is, Guo's mother also came to him as a senior monk in Tuogang.

"Madam, I'm going to go to Hong Kong in the next few days, you can take a look at this." Guo's mother's brother gave the information of Guo's mother from his old friend to his wife.

"This is a good thing, I didn't expect to find your sister after so many years of no contact, when are you going to get up?"

"The sooner the better."

When the senior monk talked with Guo's mother's brother and determined that he was the brother Guo's mother was looking for, he offered to ask him to write a letter to Guo's mother, and he had the opportunity to return to the mainland, so he could bring the letter to Guo's mother.

"I came here today for another reason, that is, can you help me go back to the mainland together?" Taiwan has imposed blockade restrictions on people going to the mainland, and Taiwan people are not allowed to return to the mainland at all.

"I'll help you ask, if it works, I'll help you with this favor."

Guo's mother and brother thanked him for his kindness, and after leaving a certain amount of "incense", he returned to Taiwan to listen to the letter.

In the 80s of the last century, Hong Kong was still a British territory, and Hong Kong people had to go through layers of "checks" when they returned to the mainland, not to mention a Taiwanese who had a "hostile relationship" with the mainland.

"When will you be back?" Guo's mother thinks that sending a letter to her brother is a big deal, and she has to think about it carefully.

"I'm coming back this time, it's to build a middle school in my hometown, and I will leave after talking with the local government department, don't worry, you prepare slowly, I left the old man's phone number, and when I go back, I will help you contact."

The family meeting of the old Guo family began on a Sunday night, Guo's father had passed away, and Guo's mother became the only parent of the family and presided over the meeting.

"It's all here, now the meeting begins, and I have a message to announce to you."

Guo's family in City A, as soon as they heard that their mother was going to announce a big event, they listened quietly, Guo's father died for so many days, Guo's mother has been in bad spirits, and the careful daughter-in-law found that today the old lady specially changed into a new dress and washed her hair.

"Mom, tell me, do you have any requirements for us?" Guo Kaiying is the most dedicated "filial son" of the old Guo family, he thought that it must be something missing from Guo's mother, what is missing, so that everyone came back for the meeting.

"This is good news, that is, your uncle and I have been in contact."

When the children heard the word "uncle", they all shook their heads at each other, how could this person who had not been mentioned by his mother for many years suddenly have news.

"Is it the one from Taiwan?" Among the children, only the eldest sister of the Guo family knew about this matter, and the others didn't know anything.

"That's him, he's still alive." (To be continued......)
