Taiming finally sneaked into Shanghai.It was a miraculous success from being detained to escaping, and hitchhiking on the "Hankou Pill" with extraordinary means.After Taiming bid farewell to Youxiang at the Xiaguan pier before dawn, he decided to explain the matter to Captain Hankoumaru and ask him to take the boat for boarding or being rejected.Before leaving, Youxiang gave him the money he needed right now.The captain of Hankou Maru is a strange person. When Taiming spoke, he hummed and listened. After listening, he suddenly said in a spicy tone: "Only in this kind of time do you say that you are a person of Japanese nationality." Come to ask for help, I will really plan for myself! 'It seemed like a refusal tone, but in an instant, he spit out another sentence:'No way, you can go up to the cabin next door, it is inconvenient to refuse uninvited guests! ' The captain's words were harsh, but evidently trustworthy.In these turbulent conditions, boating up and down the Yangtze has its weight.When Taiming got on the boat, he felt very at ease as if he was on a big boat.I also needed a little acting skills when I got off the boat, but it went smoothly.

After sneaking into Shanghai, he first found a hotel in an unobtrusive place to stay, and the name registered at the counter was Huang Ziming.After arranging accommodation, he immediately went to visit the man surnamed Li introduced by Youxiang. Li is Youxiang's brother-in-law, a very gentle person, he is now a manager, and he used to be an official of the national government.Youxiang's older sister, Mrs. Li, is a graduate of Peking University, a woman who likes to talk, received Taiming, and spoke freely and informally like a comrade. The trend of the Shanghai era was spinning overwhelmingly at an accelerated rate, and everyone was blown away and out of breath.The activities of the National Salvation Association are really remarkable, and the progress of the anti-Japanese work is increasing anxiety every moment.The concession is a good place to cover.And the center of the topic in society is all about war.The noise of the cafes, bars, dance halls, etc. in the concession disappeared, and the majestic and lively vanguard song composed by the new Nie Er appeared and was sung everywhere.Silently, he is making preparations for the wartime system all the time.Under the slogan of the united front, the people who were united stood up together, and the curtain of the strike against the Japanese textile industry was cut.On the streets, there are demonstrations by students or youth groups every day.Taiwanese became standing in the cracks, and it is said that the number of missing Taiwanese is increasing day by day.I also heard that North Koreans are also launching an independence movement.Facing this kind of historical upheaval, the fate of Taiwanese encountered a major crisis.We are divided between ourselves and the enemy.This is the policy of Japanese secret agents.It made Taiming feel very sad.One night, Li said: "The power of history will wash away everything, and you will be lonely if you stand on the sidelines alone, right?"Sympathetic.You can't do anything about history spinning in any direction.Even if you hold a certain belief and want to do your best for a certain aspect, others may not necessarily trust you, and may even suspect that you are a spy.In this way, you are a deformed orphan. ' Lee said half-jokingly.Li is now infected with the patriotism of the people around him. He has abandoned his post and devoted himself to political movements.

Because of Li's persuasion, Taiming retired from the hotel room and moved to Li's house for a temporary stay.Li's idea was that he probably planned to use Taiming to do political work.However, danger is finally approaching for the Taiwanese in the concession.Japanese intelligence agencies began arresting Taiwanese.Taiming gradually felt threatened by it.He has a clear conscience, but when it comes to Taiwanese living in the concession, they are all regarded as disobedient. The murderous eyes of the Japanese official constitution obviously have no room to distinguish between obedience and disobedience.

At that time Taiming received three letters from Nanjing to him from Shanghai, one was from his wife, and the other two were from Suzhu and Youxiang.They got in touch with Taiming's wife, and Taiming eagerly read the letters one by one.When he and his wife lived under the same roof, she always went her own way. Now Taiming lives like an underground person. After seeing his wife's handwriting after a long time, he feels a kind of warmth like a hot spring that refreshes his body. .She firmly said that there is no need to worry about the family, and that Ziyuan has grown up a lot, and sometimes she is very naughty and troublesome. She also attached a photo of his wife and daughter Ziyuan.The cheerful wife's face, and Ziyuan, who hadn't seen her for a short period of time, looked more lovely, smiling lively in the photo.Taiming had been thinking about his family all the time, so he felt relieved.And the two women who helped him escape wrote some words of encouragement to Taiming in letters of relief.Taiming has no worries for the time being.The idea of ​​returning to his hometown, which had been hesitant in his heart, was decided at this time.He discussed with Li, and Li also agreed that Taiming should temporarily return to Taiwan for refuge.

One day at the end of May, Taiming took the "Songguang Pill" at Yangshupu Wharf and finally embarked on his way home.The turbid Huangpu River was stirred by the propeller, and the boat gradually left the pier.Except for Li, there is no lonely ship to send pedestrians to sail. 'Goodbye!mainland!I don't know when I will be able to come again in the future! Taiming looked at the scenery on the bank of the river and slowly receded, feeling mixed feelings in his heart. The river water slowly washes the side of the boat, and something strange comes from the front of the boat along the high tide. When it almost touches the side of the boat, Taiming takes a closer look and sees it is a man leaning over and floating. corpse.Impermanence died in the heartless continent, and not a single floating corpse was picked up.In this long flow of history, a floating corpse is nothing more than a little rubbish.Taiming looked at the floating corpse of the unknown man who was slowly floating up and away, Taiming said again: 'Goodbye!mainland! "Shanghai City, which lies across the river bank, is gradually getting darker and lowering at this time.
