Chapter 100 100, what Long Yingtai knows about escape

■A major theme in the book is the "1949 Great Escape", which is glorified as "1949 Great Migration".She wrote about the escape of some small people, but she avoided how high-ranking officials and nobles from Chiang Kai-shek escaped.This topic must be compared and written in order to know the truth.As a comparison, let's listen to Long Yingtai's delicate skin and tender flesh, what does she know about fleeing? □Sixty years ago, people from other provinces who fled to Taiwan can be divided into two categories: one is "grandfather's escape" and the other is "little people's escape". "Grandfather-style escape" means taking all the convenience of information, tools, and financial resources before fleeing. The escape is actually no different from moving.Among the high-ranking members of the Kuomintang, there are many people who fled to Taiwan and boarded the plane and ship together with luxurious furniture. This is also the "1949" big move.

Except for the "grandfather's escape", the rest is "the ordinary people's escape".The ordinary people have no information, no tools, and insufficient financial resources. They can only help the old and the young, hold the baby, and go in a large group. The injured, those who fell into the ravine fell into the ravine, and those who lived on the street lived on the street.Among them, children were the most miserable. Taking the statistics of Shanghai "Ta Kung Pao" in 1949 as an example, charitable organizations received 155 corpses of children on January 9 alone!On the tenth day, another one hundred and sixty-six were received!This is really tragic!In contrast to the children are the big girls.The eldest girl was displaced and survived the catastrophe, so she had to sell her body. Before Qingdao retreated, the eldest girl waited on the pier and had no chance to board the boat, because the boat was taken by arrogant soldiers. At that time, as long as any soldier was willing to take them away, no matter what Concubine or maidservant, they both do it.In the Tang poetry, it is said that "it has been through thorns and thorns for a hundred days, and there is no perfect skin on the body", and it is said that "if you ask me, you will not give your name, but you will be a slave if you are poor."

■Little people have gone through untold hardships in fleeing disasters. Even if they are in shock, they will have some troubles psychologically, right? □In the "Little People's Escape", those who fled to Taiwan have at least gone through a thousand catastrophes. After the catastrophe, although they are still breathing, they are still in shock.Years of experience in fleeing for refuge have made some of them "psychologically abnormal".In 1961, I lived in a back alley in Taipei, across from Tao Hong, who was a few years older than me and came here as a refugee.One day, elder brother Shi Ke was chatting with Tao Hong. Shi Ke said: "I used to escape for a long time, and all my belongings were taken away. So today I have developed a habit: I only need to carry all my property so much." Tao Hong said: "What's so strange about this! All my property, as soon as I mention it, I will leave so much. I am better than your habit!" I listened to it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The speed of walking is indeed higher than that of walking with one's back; the weight of walking with one lift is indeed lower than that of walking with one's back.They are all escape experts, they escape with lingering fears, and they no longer have "persistence" because they have no "persistence".Their "permanent property" is only mentioned and recited, and they are ready to speak in a hurry at any time, because they dream back at midnight, and there are often gunshots in their ears!In the 19th century, the British poet Edward Lear said that two old chairs, half a broken candle, and an old pot with a broken handle were his "all his worldly goods". Come on, it's far inferior.People who were born in hotbeds today and grew up in greenhouses cannot imagine everything before and after fleeing. They would say, since fleeing, why not leave early?In fact, it is so simple!In terms of the time of leaving, everything must be in place, otherwise it is only natural for people to settle down and relocate.The first is "judgment of the enemy's situation". In this regard, ordinary people are far behind the old masters.How can the ordinary people catch up with the elder master?Of course, there are times when the old man is wrong. The Changsha fire during the Anti-Japanese War was an example.The Great Fire in Changsha was a masterpiece of the Kuomintang. They said that the Japanese devils were coming. In order to fight against the scorched earth, they first set fire to Changsha. Unexpectedly, those who burned burned and those who fled escaped, but the Japanese devils did not come. The Kuomintang had no choice but to shoot a general to act as a scapegoat for the superior.The example of the Changsha fire shows that the "timing" of fleeing is not easy.After the fire in Changsha, the Kuomintang learned its lesson and never said which place would fall. On the contrary, instead of talking about falling, it insisted on "coexisting and dying".The so-called "coexistence and death" means "everyone must not leave" or "everyone is not allowed to leave". Since the Kuomintang has the responsibility to guard the soil, the ordinary people can rest easy and stay restless.
