This poignant tale spans decades, uniting a family separated by historical turmoil. In 1949, Yan Luoguo, captain of the Dongshan Island ship, was forcibly taken to Taiwan by the previous KMT regime and then mysteriously vanished.
Fast forward to 1983, when his son, Yan Dingzhao, discovered that his father had passed away in Penghu. This revelation sparked a determined search, a quest fueled by memories, hope, and the enduring bond of family.
After years of perseverance, in 2018 the 82-year-old Yan Dingzhao finally located his father's remains with help from longtime friends and descendants. That same year, accompanied by his own son, he traveled to Penghu to retrieve the remains and bring them back to his hometown in Dongshan for a heartfelt burial ❤️.
This moving journey not only reconnects a family with its history but also symbolizes the timeless ties that bridge culture and generations, inspiring young adventurers and history enthusiasts alike.
