Sending Ying Yuren and Ying Xiahe away, the three of them returned to the study, Zhao Siqin all asked Lin Xiaoxia with emotion: "Are you the youngest in the Lin family?"

Lin Xiaoxia already knew about the uncle's current family situation from Mr. Wang, and she replied, "There is another younger brother, uncle."

"Ah!" Zhao Siqin sighed, "The war changed my life, but fortunately, it only changed me personally. If I went back to the mainland that year, it might change the fate of everyone in the Lin family!"

"Why did uncle say that?" Lin Xiaoxia said, "We only know that uncle died heroically. If we knew that uncle was still alive, we would have looked for him long ago!"

The uncle stared at the night through the window, with a memory expression on his face: "I woke up after being stunned by the bomb and became a prisoner. Because the uniforms of officers and soldiers are not much different, and the battle is cruel, the cotton clothes are torn, and the skin is smoked by gunpowder. It was so dark that I couldn't tell that I was a senior general, and they sent me to a prisoner-of-war camp as a leader of the army!"

"My division was interspersed with battles. Most of the soldiers died in the positions. The wounded could not be withdrawn, and they were finally tortured to death. Few of them survived like me. Therefore, no one in the prisoner-of-war camp where I was detained knew me. , I don’t know the captured soldiers, they are not from my division, so I concealed my identity.”

"Shortly, someone recognized me. He is the teacher in the joint venture. This person is your Uncle Ying. The Ying family and the Lin family are family friends. The family has become an enemy! After the Chinese Communist Party was defeated and retreated to Baodao, it coincided with the Korean War to resist the Union and defend the country. So we met on the battlefield."

"He recognized me, and I recognized him. I thought he was going to betray my identity to the Allied Forces. I didn't expect him to keep his mouth shut. You don't know. At that time, the United Army captured a deputy commander. And teacher, what kind of political significance is that!"

"I waited for the worst and nothing happened."

"Uncle Ying met me in secret before the armistice negotiations ended and the prisoners were exchanged. He asked me if I would return to China in exchange for prisoners of war. To be honest, I despised you, Uncle Ying. The army was defeated from the north to the south until they fled to Baodao. I immediately replied, go back to the country!"

"Uncle Ying handed me a military newspaper of the ruling party. I unfolded it. There were photos of me when I was a student. It said that I was a hero of the people and a great internationalist fighter. I will always live in the ruling party. , the entire army, and the hearts of the people of all nationalities in the country!"

"I couldn't help being shocked. They are already immortal, how can they go back in the form of exchanging prisoners of war?"

"There are many movies about prisoners who raise their guns to save their lives on the battlefield. From a certain point of view, this image is inferior to traitors. Soldiers, raise their hands to save their lives. Paralyzed, are they still soldiers? Things that are not as good as cowards !Although I was stunned and captured by shells, who would believe it!"

"I know that the ruling party hates dead ghosts and traitors the most. I hate that shell, why didn't it kill me! In other words, there are many chances of dying after being captured, but I just didn't choose to die, but chose to live Come down, I am a member of the ruling party and a soldier, what face do I have to go back to China?"

"You should tell your uncle that since your name has been buried and your organization has decided that you will die a heroic sacrifice, you can no longer go back! I roared angrily, I want to go back, to the motherland, to the embrace of my mother and the organization Go! You should say to your uncle, you know, you are already a person from another world, there is no motherland, mother and organization, and your image has been frozen in this war! I know your ruling party. Go back, you have nothing to stand on, your father, mother, brother and sister have worked hard all their lives to achieve success, because you will be dragged into the bottomless abyss when you go back!"

"I cried, cried a lot! Because I knew that I would never return to the arms of my motherland, organization and relatives, and the great cause I had fought for all my life would end! I reached out and grabbed your Uncle Ying's front skirt, Command him madly, pull out your pistol, and shoot at me! Shoot! I’m in your hands now, why don’t you even have the courage to shoot! Uncle Ying ignored me, and didn’t stop my madness , until I faint!"

"I went back to the barracks and silently accepted your Uncle Ying's arrangement and went to Treasure Island! Don't you know that my heart was bleeding all the way to Treasure Island! I was determined to wipe out all the enemies, but now I have to rely on Only they can survive! I have no face to Jiangdong's elders, and the experience is unforgettable!"

"Not long after I went to Baodao, your Uncle Ying picked me up from the prisoner-of-war camp. With his help, I started my business life. Soon, your Uncle Ying also quit the army and started business. I have been in business, but after doing business, I realized that it is fun to lead soldiers. I joined hands with Uncle Ying, and I am quite famous in Treasure Island! But my name is not Lin, but Zhao Siqin!"

"I completely faded out of politics and became a qualified businessman. I married a wife, but my wife had no children. It was only after an inspection that I found out that there was something wrong with my seeds. I once thought this way, whether because I betrayed the revolution, God punished me. Who would have thought that my wife was terminally ill and passed away soon, and I did not remarry. If I remarry, I am really afraid of being separated from my family again!"

"The mainland implemented reform and opening up, and the policies and ideology were loosened. I began to miss my relatives. It happened that the mainland pardoned war criminals, and they could not enter Baodao after staying in Fanggang. Baodao was too guarded at that time. I thought of going to Fang Hong Kong settlement. I told Uncle Ying my idea, but Uncle Ying agreed with you. He also wanted to go back to the mainland to see his hometown and relatives! You and Uncle Ying discussed with me and decided that I will go to Fanggang first, and then you will gain a firm foothold. Uncle Ying also came to Fanggang."

"The mainland's policies have improved further, and cross-strait non-governmental exchanges are unstoppable. The Kuomintang general who was stranded in Hong Kong came to Taiwan to reunite with his relatives. However, the chance for me to reunite with my relatives is so slim! I will discuss with you Uncle Ying. Looking for your father by name, God has eyes, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"

Lin Xiaoxia was already sobbing when the uncle talked about it. She knew that her grandfather had once been at the top of the ruling party's core leadership.Grandpa, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, and Sixth Uncle did not change their names when they walked or sat down. The uncle knew them, but he could not go to them. He could only look for the little brother who was unknown at the time. His father, that is, his younger brother, is still the lowest!

"Uncle is suffering!" Lin Xiaoxia choked up. (To be continued.)
