Taipei is a rainy city, especially in winter,
and the rain is even more extraordinary.
I think it's because of this that the popular song "Come to Taipei in Winter to See the Rain"
came into being!
Our group of twenty people went to Taiwan this time, not specifically to Taipei to see the rain,
but was invited to perform Henan Yu opera in the motherland.
During our days in Taipei,
we were surrounded and touched almost every day by the Henan villagers there.
Among the hometown folks, there were some who hadn't driven for more than ten years,
and who took up the steering wheel again and came from far away in order to listen to their hometown theater.
Others were wheeled into the theater.
As soon as they arrived at the performance venue, they took the initiative to approach us for a chat. "
At one time, there were a lot of folksy sounds and rhythms, a lot of emotions, and a lot of joy, and it was a very touching scene.
Many old people, despite the frailty of old age, for the show as a "volunteer",
Posting the theater newspaper, water, sweeping the floor, mounting the stage to move the props, to see what the work are rushing to do.
When it was cold, they took off their clothes and put them on the actors;
When some of the actors were sick, they brought them fish soup, ginseng soup, fried Chinese medicine and sent them fruits.
For the Henan villagers in Taipei, they come to see their hometown theater, mainly to find their hometown love.
Decades, due to the bitter attachment to the hometown, miss,
Their hair white, wrinkles on the face,
What in the world can solve this love of the hometown complex?
An eighty-year-old old man watching the theater, tightly pulling my hand,
trembling said: "I heard the clappers knocking, Panhu ringing, I feel pro which, the old want to go home ......"
Elderly people talking about talking about And cried like a small child.
Another old man told us about his inescapable homesickness:
Sitting on the terrace in the evening, he saw the birds in the sky returning to their nests,
he would be homesick; the autumn winds, seeing the trees fall back to their roots, he would be homesick;
Every time there was a flood of fish, he saw the schools of fish in the sea returning to their nests, and he would also be homesick.
This is the first time I have ever seen the sea of fish in the world.
Thousands of kilometers away from home, living in another country, at any time, anywhere from the bottom of the heart will spring up strands of nostalgia.
This kind of homesickness comes fast and goes slow,
Because the source of their life in the hometown,
hometown of a grass and trees are let them haunting.
Another old gentleman told us, "I've eaten dozens of Taiwanese fruits,
hundreds of world fruits, and none of them tastes as good as persimmons from my hometown!"
A lawyer from the Taipei Henan Fellowship Association said, "I grew up drinking the Yellow River water, and I have developed a habit after decades of wandering around: I don't want to listen to any other opera when there is a clapper, and I don't want to eat rice when there is a bun."
This is the first time that a lawyer from the Taipei Henan Fellowship Association said, "I grew up drinking the Yellow River water.
On the stage, when our actors appeared, a play "sell Miao Lang",
a few lines of the "search for children", will make the old folks watching the play offstage cried out.
These weather-beaten old people, once they heard the Yu opera singing,
that dragging sound, that dumping cavity, that Daobai, how to become so fragile?
Is it the memory of their birth parents in their hometown, who have yet to be found?
Is it the memory of my wife, who worked together in the fields when I was young?
Or is it the memory of a time when you were close to your loved ones?
How could they not cry when the play evoked such deep memories after decades of being separated from each other?
How could they not cry when the play evoked such deep memories?
The rain outside the house was still falling endlessly.
We met and got along with the old folks in this winter rain, and had endless heartfelt words.
An old gentleman who had been back to Zhengzhou, saw the changes in his hometown after the reform and opening up,
said to us with deep emotion:
"In the past, in which dynasties in Henan, the people did not eat the bark of the trees, wild vegetables?
Then eat is in order to hunger to survive;
Now also eat wild vegetables, that is to figure a fresh.
If this development continues, there will be hope for the people of Henan, for the people of China."
He was right.
We really hope that the old folks will come back to their hometown more often.
When we returned, some old folks rushed to see us off.
In the rain, they scrambled to cover us with their umbrellas while they themselves were drenched by the rain. They kept waving to us as the car drove away, the umbrella thrown at their feet.
Looking at each other through the car window, we couldn't see whether it was rain or tears that flowed down their faces ......
