Times are turbulent, and flesh and blood are separated

1949 was an unforgettable year for Wang Daohuang and Liu Yongmei, they never thought that they would be separated from their child Wang Tonghua for more than 70 years.

Born in Hunan, Wang Daohuang was captured by the Kuomintang in 1935 and served as a strong man, and later joined the Kuomintang army. Wang Daohuang, who had enlisted in the army for a long time, gradually became an experienced veteran, and as an ordinary person, he did not have any choice.

When the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was gradually coming to an end, the Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek saw that it was about to be defeated, so it made the decision to retreat to Taiwan. Wang Daohuang, who had rich combat experience, was forced to follow the search battalion of the Kuomintang paratrooper corps and retreated from Xiamen to Taiwan by boat.

Due to the tense situation at that time, Wang Daohuang had no way to take away his children, so he could only leave in a hurry, properly arrange his children, and take his wife, who was nine months pregnant, on a ship to Taiwan. No one expected that since that hurried parting, when they met again, they would be in a state of gray hair and decaying sideburns.
