In 1948, Tian Qichang’s life changed forever when his father was forcibly drafted to the island of Taiwan during a turbulent era. For decades, the family was split by the waters of the Taiwan Strait—a painful separation echoing the stories of countless others. But Tian refused to let history write their ending. 🕊️
In 1979, he embarked on a daring mission to Hong Kong, navigating bureaucratic hurdles and emotional uncertainty. After years of searching, he finally embraced his father again—a moment he later called 'a stitch mending the fabric of time.' ✨
By the 1980s, Tian quit his job to launch a liaison office dedicated to reuniting families divided by the strait. From delivering handwritten letters 💌 to funding heartfelt reunions in Hong Kong, his work became a lifeline for those haunted by separation. 'Every letter carried a piece of someone’s soul,' he once said.
Today, Tian’s legacy reminds us that even geopolitical rifts can’t sever the bonds of family. His story—a blend of resilience and hope—resonates deeply in an era where connection matters more than ever. 🌍
