A tragic life, a rough life, and war years, traveled across the oceans to China
"Foreign farmers" rooted in China Avege
Born in Avigre, Italy, his father is Italy Officer, his mother is Qiandi, a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes.
When Avigé was 3 years old, his father died in the Battle of Normandy, leaving an orphan and a widow with no means to live.
Later, in order to make a living, Qiandi took her son into a "wallet and tie factory" run by Chinese. The boss Xu Dingfu looked at their pitiful mother and child and gave special attention. Later, Rijiu became in love, and held a marriage of Chinese and Western in a church in Milan.
Soon after marriage, Xu Dingfu received a telegram from Wenzhou: Father is seriously ill, return soon! He is back home.
Qiandi, who was newly married, was afraid that he might not go back, so she told him, take our son, let's go together. In this way, as refugees, they boarded a cruise ship in Venice , drifted at sea for more than 40 days, finally arrived in Hong Kong, and then returned to their hometown in Wenzhou .
Xu Dingfu's Qiandi "Refugee Certificate"
Xu Dingfu went home and saw that his father was in good health and it was not a major problem. It turned out that the old man was eager to make up a "white lie". Now that he came back, Xu decided to stop working overseas and live and work in his hometown.
Qiandi brought her young son to a foreign country. He lives in a different country, is not comfortable with the water and soil, and has all kinds of discomforts.
In 1951, due to lymphatic tuberculosis , she was short of doctors and medicines, and soon fell ill. When he was dying, Xu asked her husband to take good care of Avigre and raise him to adulthood. Xu nodded tearfully.
From then on, Xu regarded Avi as his own and named him: Xu Xiangshun . Although Avière has lost his life since childhood, his stepfather protects him from wind and rain.It's also a carefree life.
The stars are moving. Avire grows up, sowing in spring, hoeing in summer, harvesting in autumn... all kinds of farming work, can be picked up and put down, except for the face of a foreigner, other people are no different from the local villagers.
It is the nature of Italian men to love life and romance.
Avigre is upright and kind, and hates evil like hatred. During the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards "beat, smash, and rob", framed him as a "foreign devils" from foreign countries. He was so angry that he picked up his shoulder and fought hard with them. The Red Guards were so scared that they dared not to trouble him anymore.
In the 1980s, when the village was in chaos, he took the initiative to ask for a job as a joint security officer.
One day, the night was dark and the wind was high, and a thief stole sheep and was captured by him on the spot. Seeing him with a foreign face, the thief thought he had met a ghost, so scared, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Avière, with the Italian enthusiasm.
Once, when he went out to do errands, he encountered a car accident. The driver who caused the accident escaped, and a young woman fell in a pool of blood. Without saying anything, he quickly stopped the car and sent her to the hospital. He also paid medical expenses in advance and was still nursing for three days in the ward.
After being discharged from the hospital, the rescued woman was grateful for his life-saving grace, recognized him as a foster father, and often visited him at home.
Married and had children in China. In the face of bad luck, he has the unique strength of Italian men. In a flash, Avire also reached the age for marriage talks, because of the face of a foreigner, no girl in the village dared to marry him.
This is so sad that Xu Dingfu, he went around to ask the matchmaker to marry his stepson Zhang Luo. There is a woman named Su Fengyuan who looks good, hardworking, simple and capable, and does not dislike him as a foreigner.
In this way, the two fall in love at first sight, and the lovers will eventually become married.
After marriage, life flies happily. It is that Avire has a bad temper, has a quick temper, has a stubborn temper, speaks coarsely, like a quarrel. Fortunately, Su Fengyuan is gentle, virtuous and kind, and keeps her family in order.
The next year, their daughter fell to the ground, and later they gave birth to another pair of children. Although the children are mixed,But he still has strong genes, fair skin, high nose and deep eyes, making him unique.
Although he has lived in the Chinese countryside for many years, his face is different.
There are unexpected events in the day.
In 1993, the Qingming Festival rained heavily, and the pedestrians on the road did not break their souls, and Avi was almost "souled" in the quarry.
Due to the humid climate, there was a phenomenon of dumb artillery in the quarry. He was anxious and insisted to check it regardless of the dissuasion of his workers. As a result, as soon as he walked into the cave, he fell into a pool of blood...
Although he was rescued and out of danger, his hands were maimed.
As a farmer who relies on his hands to grow the land, his hands are disabled, which means that people are also abolished. If you don't work to make money, how do your wives and children live?
Avire must have a strong personality, not bowing his head to bad luck, he just learned the skills of dressing, eating, hoeing, harvesting, etc., and can do anything. The wife said that the greatest advantage of this man is that he is family-friendly and responsible. He would rather endure hardships by himself than let his children suffer.
When Xu Dingfu was 84 years old, his health was deteriorating. When he was still alive, he asked Avigre to take out a long-dust wooden box from a hole in the wall, which contained Qiandi's suicide note and passport. He said, when your mother was alive, she had a wish that when you grow up, one day you can return to Italy to find relatives.
Why is there always tears in my eyes, because I love this land so deeply
Going to the countryside as usual, Avigre has become an authentic "foreign farmer"
Later, Avier germinated the idea of returning to Italy to find a family member for his deceased mother to realize his dream. But my wife opposed it, on the grounds that three children and four grandchildren had a good day, but why did you find relatives? Besides, going to a foreign country will definitely cost money. Isn't this a prodigal? Disagree with anything. In fact, these are secondary. She is most worried about the old man not going back, so what should she do?
Later, Avigre's cross-border tracing of relatives was known to local reporters. The article was published in the newspaper, and a Wenzhou entrepreneur gave generously.
this time,With the fund for seeking relatives, Avier became more eager. He came to the Italian Embassy in Beijing to submit relevant materials.
The embassy staff asked him, who to look for in Italy? He was confused and said, "I don't know; when he asked him where to visit relatives, he was confused and said, "I don't know." This time, the embassy staff can be stunned, asking three questions, isn't this unreasonable to make trouble? Just send him to say, you go back to Wenzhou and wait, we will notify you as soon as there is news.
Avigre returned to his hometown in Ruian, waiting and waiting, but there was no news. At this moment, a businessman living in Italy approached him and said that he had seen his quest for relatives in the newspaper, and he was willing to provide help, and returned to Italy to find clues about his relatives.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the Avigé and his sons have applied for visas, flew to Italy by plane, and embarked on a 58-year journey to find relatives across the country.
Enthusiastic, helping Avigli to find relatives across the country
Back then, when he and his mother left Italy, he was only 3 years old. Today, Fallen Leaves return to their roots, and they are already vicissitudes of life in their twilight years.
He came first, the world-famous Milan Cathedral , he burst into tears, and he was no stranger to this Gothic architectural style. When my mother came to China, she specially brought a picture with the pattern of Milan Cathedral to comfort her homesickness.
Now, he has finally fulfilled his mother's long-cherished wish during his lifetime, and his dream of seeking relatives across the border has come true. If his mother knew about it, he would be very pleased.
Milan Cathedral in Gothic style
He found his long-lost cousin aunt in Portonone, near Venice. Seeing the kindly smiling faces of his relatives, Avier couldn't help tears in his eyes, and was very excited.
My aunt said, "Don't leave when you come back. Living conditions in Italy are good. We will help you apply for citizenship. You will spend most of your life drifting outside. Come back and spend your twilight years."
Avigre said that Italy is quite prosperous, but I don’t speak the language and I’m not used to life. I grew up in China and my roots are in China.There are my wife and children and grandchildren.
The cross-border family search finally dreams round
Despite the hardship of his aunt to stay, Avignon politely declined. He said, I have spent my whole life in the Chinese countryside, and I love that land.
Seeing that Avire has decided to go, my aunt said, we respect your choice.
In this way, Avigre left the fashionable and prosperous Italy and returned to the embrace of the motherland.
When he stepped down the spiral staircase, his heart was surging, tears filled his eyes, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart, I finally came back. It's better than China. Nothing is better than the motherland!
