My grandfather was born into a rich family in Mainland China. His parents pampered him, giving everything he asked for. The WarⅡwas ended in 1945, my grandfather borrowed a large sum of money from his parents. He said that he wanted to do business in Taiwan. In fact, he wanted to take a trip to Taiwan.
His family sent a letter to him, after he arrived in Taiwan for three months. In the letter, his mother told him that KMT was defeated. And the Communist Party pushed into their hometown. In the end of the letter, his mother wrote,” Don’t come back Mainland China”. Since then, my grandfather had lived in Keelung until he died. Luckily, he had been to his hometown to visit his siblings before he died, but his parents had died for years before he came to his hometown.
My grandfather died in 1990, the same year when I was born. So the story was told by my father. A civil war actually separated people across the Taiwan Strait. My grandfather is an evidence for brutal wars.
