Joann's Story

This is my grandpa’s story. My grandpa joined the KMT troop as a 14 year old kid during the Civil War in China, then as KMT lost the war, he exiled from China to Taiwan with the troop in the early 20th century. All these years KMT had the propaganda of claiming victory in China, and so my grandpa believed he will be able to return home soon. the Cold war between Taiwan and China persisted, and my grandpa remained in Taiwan, started a family, and not until 60 years later was he able to revisit his hometown in China. Most of his family in China has died or lost contact, only his sister was still there, they could still recognize each other.
