In 1949, Tian Qichang’s world shattered when his father was drafted to Taiwan during a turbulent era of cross-strait separation. For 30 years, hope flickered like a stubborn candle—until 1979, when Tian finally embraced his father in Hong Kong after a daring search. 🕯️➡️✨
But Tian didn’t stop there. By the 1980s, he’d quit his job to launch a grassroots liaison office, becoming a real-life hero for families torn apart by history. 📜✉️ His team hand-delivered over 10,000 letters across the Taiwan Strait and even funded emotional reunions for those who couldn’t afford the journey. 💌
“Every letter was a heartbeat,” Tian later shared. His work mirrors countless untold stories of resilience, where love outlasts political divides. Today, younger generations use apps and video calls, but Tian’s legacy reminds us: connection is timeless. 📱🌍
#TaiwanThroughTheAges isn’t just a hashtag—it’s a testament to families rewriting history, one reunion at a time. ❤️
