Chapter 39 Chapter Twelve

I waited so long that I almost froze.Xiao Li finally showed up and drove me back to the university in that black Volga sedan.He didn't say a word along the way, and he looked a little different from the shy guy when we first met. The next day, Director Yan was surprised to find that I appeared in the teaching and research room, but he knew that there was a confidentiality agreement, so he didn't ask any questions. That prison, the cadre surnamed Zhao and the female prisoner whose surname was unknown never appeared in my life again.She still has a lot to say, and the story is not complete.I'd also like to hear more about Eight Pilots, Wildcat Hill - does the Tokyo Tunnel still exist?The Kuomintang Air Force Flying Brigade sent one young officer after another into the tunnel, but didn't see them appearing in Tokyo for a long time, didn't you feel puzzled?Did Chen Guimin get the attention of the military commander after he appeared?After 1942, these old-fashioned aircraft like moths to the flame have lost their value, or did the top leaders of the Kuomintang choose to forget this crazy history?Did Chen Guimin and Huang Dongquan live on in Japan with a mission in mind?If prisoner No. 124 had never been released from prison, once the two pilots passed away, who would take on this strange burden?

Since then my life has never interfered with this story.After ten turbulent years, I got married, had children, and grew old. Some questions answered. In 1970, such news appeared in the corner of the newspaper: an old-fashioned biplane used for performances in Tokyo, Japan unfortunately crashed, and several houses were destroyed. Fortunately, no one was injured or injured. The following year, news came out on the radio that a senior engineer surnamed Liang who had been sentenced for treason had been rehabilitated and released from prison. In 1984, I saw a piece of news on the black and white TV in the big office of the History Department: The giant inflatable airship of Datong Co., Ltd. made an emergency landing on the roof of a building due to an accident. The cause of the accident is unknown. Apologize.

By 2002, a rumor on the Internet caught my attention: Japan’s Tokyo Air Show held a grand air show, and thirteen old-fashioned biplane formations passed over the city, feasting the eyes of the city’s citizens——Thirteen, this is really good number.If I had to guess, the thirteenth plane should be a little newer than the others, right?
