Taiwanese who have not seen the Chinese army for 50 years crowded the Keelung Wharf and the streets of Taipei.Knowing that the national army would take the train from Keelung to Taipei, many people stood guard on both sides of the railway.There are many people who trek from far south, waiting for this moment in history. Taipei is hotter than Keelung, the streets are crowded with people, the sweat and body temperature of the human body are mixed, and the crowd is crowded into a fleshy wall with their backs against their backs. In the fleshy wall, people still put their toes on their toes and stretch their necks to look around; The child straddles his legs on his shoulders, eager and nervous.

The novel by the writer Wu Zhuoliu made the eyes of the Taiwanese girl "Yulan" see the "motherland" in this way: The streets and alleys are crowded with men, women, old and young. It is really a joyous and lively crowd.On both sides of the road in front of the Chief Executive's Office, long lines of Japanese middle school students, female students, and high school students stood there quietly.Seeing this situation, Yulan was greatly moved. Those people who used to look down on people and kept laughing at "China soldiers, China soldiers" have become like this now...

The army of the motherland finally came... The team walked for a long time, and each soldier carried an umbrella on his back. Yulan felt a little surprised, but immediately erased this feeling. She thought it was because she was not used to it .Some carried iron pots, utensils or bedding.When Yulan was a child, she saw the procession of Taiwanese opera troupes when they changed venues, and she just had that feeling.She was very sad... Around the same time, the 22-year-old Peng Mingmin was also sailing from the Japanese naval base Sasebo to Keelung Port, probably on the landing ship of Little Bob.

Before the war, Peng Mingmin studied political science at Tokyo Imperial University, unwilling to be drafted by the Japanese army, so he left Tokyo and wanted to join his brother in Nagasaki, but was bombed by the US army halfway, and a bomb exploded beside him. an arm.Peng Mingmin, who would later become one of the leaders of Taiwan's independence movement, landed in Keelung Port and was in contact with the motherland for the first time. He felt incredible: Along the way, we saw a group of dirty people in ragged uniforms, and it was obvious that they were not Taiwanese.Our rickshaw driver said in a tone of contempt and disgust that those are Chinese soldiers, who were recently transported to Keelung from the mainland port by American ships...

After the Chinese took over, everything was paralyzed.The public facilities gradually came to a standstill, and the administrative personnel who had recently arrived from China were both incompetent and extremely corrupt, while the "National Army" who came to arrest Dingla were no different from thieves.It's such a bleak picture... Keelung Railway Station was very messy, crowded with dirty Chinese soldiers, who stayed at the station all night because they had no better shelter.When the train came in, people scrambled to get into the carriages.As the crowd pushed forward frantically, luggage and children were thrown into the car through the window, and adults followed suit fiercely to occupy seats.We managed to barely find a seat and started the long, slow journey.The icy January wind blows in through the broken window, the velvet of the seats is torn, and it is evident that the compartment has not been swept for weeks.This is "China's Taiwan", not the "Japan's Taiwan" that we are familiar with.Never in our life have we seen such a dirty and chaotic train...

If the Seventy Army seen by Peng Mingmin is disgusting, then the Seventy Army in Yang Yizhou's eyes is ridiculous: Some carried two cages on poles, one for charcoal and stoves, and the other for rice and withered vegetables.Some of the soldiers are young soldiers in their teens and some are old soldiers.Everyone wears straw sandals, some only wear one and one is barefoot.There are also lame, blind, and skin diseases. Because they all wear green military uniforms filled with cotton, they look like they are walking in quilts, so Taiwanese call them "quilt army".There is an umbrella behind the back, and when it rains, the team marches with the umbrella, and the team is staggering, which can be described as a wonder in the world.

The 70th Army who came to Keelung from Ningbo entered the contemporary history of Taiwan with such a "classic" stereotyped image that is almost cartoonish and facial.More than sixty years later, the history examination paper of a private high school in Taiwan appeared this question: There is a description of the current situation in Taiwan as follows: "...the 70th Army arrived in Taiwan. They were dressed in rags, their military discipline was lax, their straw sandals and cloth shoes were in a mess, and some of them were holding umbrellas, carrying pots, and driving pigs. .”

What period in Taiwan's history is this? (A) The period when Japan ruled Taiwan (B) During the period of the Nationalist Government (C) Period of the Chief Executive's Office (D) During the provincial government period The correct answer, of course, is C.
