A mountain village in Sichuan has repeatedly received letters from Yunnan. For more than 40 years, no one has picked up the letters, and they are always returned. What is the secret behind this, and what is the final outcome?
received the letter in Shunhe Township, Jiajiang County, Leshan City, Sichuan Province. Since the postman could not find the correct address, he placed the letter in the village cadre's office.
has been there for a long time, and the letter is covered with dust, but it has still not been picked up. The village cadre thought it was a little strange and wanted to open the letter to see who it was addressed to, so as not to delay the recipient.
He was just about to open the letter when the hammer on the table suddenly fell down and hit his foot, causing him to grit his teeth in pain. Later, he was sent to the hospital by his colleagues, and the letter that had not been picked up was also returned.
What everyone didn't expect was that after a while, someone sent another letter from Yunnan. The address was exactly the same as the one that was returned before, and it was not picked up.
Everyone felt that this was not a coincidence, so they asked around, but could not find the recipient, so they returned the letter according to the procedure. I thought the matter would end here, but the development of the matter once again exceeded everyone's expectations.
Over the next 40 years, people kept sending letters from Yunnan to Sichuan. The addresses of these letters were all the same. Obviously this was not an accident, but someone deliberately sent letters here.
Although it has been returned so many times, why do people still insist on sending letters? At first, some people suspected it was a prank, but this suspicion was quickly overturned. Because people who do pranks cannot persist for such a long time.
Finally, the villagers couldn't bear it anymore and approached the county reporter and asked him to help find out the truth. After the reporter traveled to Yunnan Province, he found the sender Yang Youfu. He was a veteran who had participated in the Anti-Japanese War when he was young and went to Myanmar as a member of the expeditionary force.
One day in June 1942, he fought with the Japanese army in an uninhabited land. Due to the brutal fighting, he was seriously injured and was forced to stay in Yunnan after returning.
He wanted to go home and be reunited with his relatives, but he was penniless and had no way to travel long distances, so he could only stay in Yunnan.
He missed his wife and son at home and wrote to them every chance he got. Later, Yang Youfu started a family in Yunnan, and his contact with his hometown in Sichuan was also interrupted.
He sent letters to his son in his hometown many times, but never got a response. After the reporter learned about his true intentions from Yang Youfu, he returned to Yunnan, and after asking around, he found his son Yang Yunqing and asked him if he was willing to go. Meet my father in Yunnan.
Yang Yunqing refused with an indifferent expression, saying, "I don't want to." The reporter asked him, the old man insists on contacting you and has been looking forward to being reunited with you for more than 40 years. Why don't you want to see him at all? To put it bluntly, if you don't see him again, you may never see him again.
At this time, Yang Youfu was already 97 years old. According to common sense, he did not have much time left.
But Yang Yunqing still refused to see his father. He said angrily that his father left cruelly and went to Yunnan and started a family there. His mother was mad and he suffered a lot. In his heart, he only felt sorry for his father. Complaining, without any affection.
said that, but they are father and son after all. He said he hated his father, but in fact he still had some feelings in his heart.
In the end, Yang Yunqing changed his mind under the constant persuasion of reporters and went to Yunnan to meet his father. The moment Yang Youfu saw his son, he held his hand and burst into tears with excitement. He cried and apologized to him, saying, "It's my fault, I'm sorry for you."
Yang Yunqing felt very uncomfortable when he heard his father's apology. He hugged him affectionately and was unwilling to let go for a long time.
