Taiwan was in the province's martial law in 1949, and it has been 38 years since then.

Some people have counted that a total of 29,000 political cases occurred during this period, involving 140,000 people, and about 4,000 people were executed. This is the white terror that enveloped the Taiwanese people.

If these veterans were like this in the past, they would have captured all of them, and they would have to be cut off and killed.

At this moment, Ho Wende and others had physical conflicts with the guards, but that was all. There was no scene of "divine weapons from heaven" killing the veterans in one go.

This greatly encouraged the reporters and the opposition party who were following.

Several representatives of the opposition party prepared their speeches long ago, jumped out quickly, and couldn't wait to establish a public image, and spit at the reporters and cameras:

"More than 30 years ago, millions of veterans voluntarily or forced to come to Taiwan with the Fruit Party. How many families were broken and how many flesh and blood were separated? Under the strict ban, they pressed the greatest need of human nature in the deepest part of their hearts, and only put their pillows and cried when they dreamed late at night... How many people can't wait to see their families and drink hatred for life?

Can we meet our loved ones only by using this abnormal method?”

"Today, this incident occurred in front of the founding father's Memorial Hall, which was completely a bad result of the Fructus Party!"

These people were hoarse, as if they were more indignant than the veterans, shouting: "We will do our best to support the veterans back home!"

"Let's go home!"

"We're going home!"

Their fuel was added to the fire, and the veterans were even more excited. More than a dozen people rushed up to break into the memorial hall and cried, and some continued to sing "The Wandering Song", and the scene was in a mess.

He Wende charged forward, his head was already bleeding. He was angrily open without any timidity. Instead, the guards on the opposite side were afraid and kept shouting:

"Call again! Call!"

"Why haven't you given an order yet?"

“What should I do?!”

...

There is a place in Taipei called Yuanshan.

It is a 36-meter-high mound covering an area of ​​several hectares. Near Yuanshan, there is a two-story reinforced concrete building called Qihai Apartment. Comrade Nicholas moved in in 1969 and lived until his death.

At this time, half a year was still before the end of his life, and his health was getting worse and worse. He was basically working in the residence and meeting with his subordinates.

“…”

After listening to the report, Comrade Nichola sat in a wheelchair and remained silent. Years of torture from diabetes made his face swollen. Just when his subordinate thought he was asleep, he suddenly spoke and said slowly: "Just dispel it."

"No need to arrest?"

“No need.”

"Are there any other orders?"

"Wait for the new law to be introduced."

"What about the veteran's demand?"

"Let me think about it!"

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The Democratic Progressive Party was established last year. Comrade Nikolai not only did not suppress it, but instead organized people to amend relevant laws, which was preparing for the lifting of martial law. Once the new law was introduced, the martial law order would be lifted.

Of course, outsiders don't know these inside stories.

The martial law was lifted and the veteran returned home, these were two things, and he still had no clear instructions on the latter.

…………

That night.

Jiang Sizhang led a group of veterans back happily and gathered in a small restaurant run by veterans. Everyone's adrenaline seemed to be still full of energy, and they were extremely excited and talking.

"I thought I would be arrested, but no one thought about anything, so I handed out a flyer for a day!"

"I heard that He Wende took action?"

"I moved! I was injured seven or eight, and it was fine. If it were in the past, it would be possible to shoot it in the street. This is called gathering a crowd to petition, and there is no good result!"

"Yes, but today it's fine. I think the government is almost out of reach!"

Except for the injuries of He Wende, most of the veterans had to come back with all their heads, which added great confidence and more confidence in their demands.

Jiang Sizhang took the opportunity to say, "I have the same idea, the government's control is no longer enough. We should strike while the iron is hot and hold activities once a month until they agree.

Next month, we will have a big gathering. How about a 10,000-person gathering?"

"Ten thousand people are good! OK, just make it big!"

"There will definitely be many people participating next time!"

"Hey, Lao Jiang, your song is really good. I shouted so hard that I was so angry. Are there any such songs? Do you have more?"

"Yes, wait for me to bring it to you and let's learn together!"

…………

"The channels for visiting relatives on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be opened as soon as possible and feasible solutions should be explored to end the national tragedy caused by political elements. I hope the authorities will not become sinners who create ethnic division!"

"Do we have no parents? It is unknown whether our parents are alive or dead. We only ask: if we want to go back and offer a cup of tea, if we want to die, let us go back and offer a stick of incense."

"If the authorities really talk about 'ethical filial piety', they should immediately lift the ban on visiting relatives!"

Since Taiwan has not lifted martial law, mainstream media cannot report it.

Only opposition media, civil groups that sympathize with veterans, and other organizations are speaking out. And it is lively outside the island, with Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, and even Japan and South Korea reporting.

Taiwanese veterans are indeed a silent group of people who have not had the right to speak out for decades.

This is their first public appearance in a group.

The neutral factions in Hong Kong are extremely concerned, and the left-wing newspapers are even more cheering and helping each other:

"When the elderly in the Kaohsiung military village burned paper money towards Fujian, and when the veterans in Keelung taught their grandsons to read in Shandong dialect, the tenacious existence of this cultural bloodline just proves that politics has never conquered human nature!"

"After counting, Taiwanese veterans are young in their 50s, and older than 70 years old. How many years can they have left for their lives? This is the deadline for us to complete ethical redemption! The barbed wire seal not only blocks the coastline, but also a nation's betrayal of its own conscience!"

"Forward" magazine also realized it well and immediately launched a move: publish advertisements in the magazine and help veterans transfer letters.

In just a few days, the veteran's letter was published.

They don’t know where to start, nor do they know if their family members are still there? There is only a thin piece of letter paper, which explains their nicknames, writes down the process of leaving home, and briefly talks about their current life.

Some notes: "Zhang Wang's family from East Street, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province was collected!"

Some are: "Transfer from Zhaojiagou, Laiyang, Shandong!"

All of this caused great shocks in all walks of life in Taiwan and outside the island.

"well!"

"If you don't have one, you will have two times. If you don't have two times, you will have three times until it's open!"

In Hong Kong, Chen Qi and Fu Qi immediately implemented the follow-up plan, and there are two activities to do:

First, we will continue to bring songs to Jiang Sizhang, let them publish albums, and use the albums to raise funds on the streets, so as to attract widespread sympathy from Taiwanese society and hold a 10,000-person rally in June!

Second, the mainland should make a statement and welcome veterans to come back.

This Chen Qi couldn't make the decision, so he had to go to Beijing quickly.

…………

In Beijing, the Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Culture, and the Radio and Television are organizing a national film conference to talk about further reforms.

Then, the leader Wang from the Ministry of Truth received a double report from the Taiwan Affairs Office and Hong Kong, introducing the Taiwan Veterans Movement and the current public opinion environment, as well as someone who was causing trouble.

"Everyone is right, it will cause trouble!"

After reading it expressionlessly, he snorted coldly, but no anger, picked up the phone and said, "Are Comrade Chen Qi back? When he comes back, he will ask him to see me immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, he walked around the house with his hands on his back, and finally couldn't help but feel happy.

Leader Wang is different from Leader Zhu.

Leader Zhu is relaxed and free, and Leader Wang... Well, he doesn't think that the Truth Ministry is just studying film issues. What Chen Qi does is what the Truth Ministry should do.

"Good boy!"

(I feel uncomfortable today, no more...)
Chapter completed!
