Hey there! Have you ever heard of someone who dedicated their life to bringing families back together? Let me tell you about an amazing person named Tian. Born in 1948, Tian faced a tough childhood when his father was taken away to the island of Taiwan.
For many years, Tian and his father were separated by the Taiwan Strait, a large body of water between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. But Tian never gave up hope! In 1979, he traveled all the way to Hong Kong to find his dad. Can you imagine how exciting that reunion must have been? 💖
After finally hugging his father again, Tian wanted to help other families too. So, in the 1980s, he decided to quit his job and start a special office. This wasn’t just any office—it was a place where he delivered letters between families on both sides of the Strait. He became like a real-life messenger of love! 🕊️📬
But that’s not all! Tian also helped families who couldn’t afford to travel by giving them money so they could reunite in Hong Kong, just like he did with his dad. Thanks to Tian, many people were able to see their loved ones after years apart. Isn’t that incredible? 🌟
Tian’s story shows us the power of love and determination. No matter how big the obstacles, he proved that bringing people together is always worth it. Maybe one day, you’ll do something just as amazing! 😊
