On May 7, 1981, Du Yuming died of illness, and his wife Cao Xiuqing telegraphed to Chiang Ching-kuo, hoping that Chiang Ching-kuo could allow Du Yuming's children to return to the mainland for funeral, but Chiang Ching-kuo refused.

The name Du Yuming appeared frequently during the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, and it is often mentioned in TV dramas, who is this person?
Du Yuming was a high-ranking general of the Kuomintang, and was later captured by the Communist Party, thinking that the Communist Party was a jackal, tiger and leopard, but what he didn't expect was that although he was a prisoner, he didn't look like a prisoner.
In prison, his life was not as difficult as the outside world imagined, and the Communist Party adopted a more tolerant attitude towards him, during which he gradually understood the beliefs of the Communist Party.
What really touched Du Yuming's heart was a sudden illness, and the Communist Party did not ignore him because he was a prisoner of war, but quickly sent him to the hospital for treatment, which deeply touched Du Yuming's heart.
He began to realize that the Communist Party was not as ruthless as the Kuomintang had advertised, but that it had shown a human side in dealing with its enemies.
After being discharged from the hospital, Du Yuming returned to Gongdelin Prison, but his mentality was very different from before. In 1959, after years of study, he was finally released. After his release, Du Yuming was no longer the general loyal to the Kuomintang in the past, but a Chinese whose thinking had undergone profound changes.
But his family's fate is completely different from his, from the moment Du Yuming was captured by the People's Liberation Army, his wife Cao Xiuqing and the children were lured to Taiwan, thinking that her husband died heroically on the battlefield, and only learned the truth many years later.
After arriving in Taiwan, Cao Xiuqing found that the subsidies given by the Kuomintang were far from enough to support the family's daily expenses, so he could only come out to work and support his family.
When the news of Du Zhiren's death reached Taiwan, it was undoubtedly worse for Cao Xiuqing. She lost her husband and then her son, and the grief and indignation in her heart reached the extreme.
Du Yuming's later life was still very good, and he held many positions in Chinese mainland until he died of kidney failure in 1981.
The story of Du Yuming's family is the tip of the iceberg at that time, but it also represents the family ties between Chinese mainland and Taiwan, hoping that the future will come soon and the family will be reunited.
