The following is the story of searching for relatives:
Zhang Xiaohu, Originally from Longhui, Hunan, he moved to Taiwan with the army in his early years. There was no news from him for many years.
In the late 1980s, after cross-strait visits were opened to relatives, Zhang Xiaohu finally returned to his hometown from Taiwan. "My grandfather Zhang Jinghu and him (Zhang Xiaohu) are biological brothers, but my grandfather died early and never saw his brother again." At that time, Zhang's mother was still alive, and mother and son had been waiting for this day for nearly 40 years.
Zhang Xiaohu died in Taiwan not long after returning to Taiwan to visit relatives. His children sent an obituary notice from Taiwan and told him to bury their father in a cemetery in Tainan.

After the death of the veteran, his nephew Zhang Changqing from the mainland continued to exchange letters with his cousins in Taiwan. After Zhang Changqing died of illness, his son returned to his hometown from Long and went to Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, to develop. The letters and photos kept at home were accidentally lost due to the passage of time, and relatives on both sides of the Taiwan Strait lost contact.
"Every Qingming Festival, we go to visit my great-grandmother's grave." Nowadays, the living conditions in my hometown are improving day by day, and Zhang Changqing's son is also successful in his career. He hopes to find his lost relatives in Taiwan, "My hometown in Hunan will always be your home. "
