Father came home yesterday, I can't remember how many time he's been visiting China for the last 20 years, since China open for relatives-visiting communication, a flock of retire solders pay their home-sick visit to home town since; reunion, seeing relative depart for more than 40 years, kissing the land they born......... These human concern do melting the cross-strait tension; then the economic reform of China bring business man to China, they invest, buying land, building factory; as an old China saying " Businessman had no mother land ", since the reform and the rapid growth of China economic, there are more than 1 million Taiwanese business doing business and relocate to China.

My father wasn't one of he, his visit was to pay the due, to compensate what he didn't do earlier in his youth; he married in China before escape and evculate to Taiwan with KMT, he had a son -- yes, my big brother who is 15 years older than me, 3 grand daughters in China, for the past 2 decades, he pay to due to raise them up, buying them houses, keep a living for them and renovated the ancient tomb as tradition; after all the compulsory, he is now traveling in China to enjoy the last course of his life, a man of 80's should not bear too much burden. I am here in Taiwan, keep this family and support everyone here. Father and I don't have much to talk, there lays a generation gap ( a moat so to speak ); he came home yesterday, we bring his grand kid to Toys are Us, to pay his grandfather's duty at home, then a simply dim sum dinner in the near by.

went home, wife disclose the conversation they did in the afternoon -- or night, when my mon were there, they talked about the land in Daoliu and my wife told me there's once my father asked my sister to buy it with a price of 600,000 NT, one third of the price offered by other who interested, and he totally forgot 10 more years ago he deposit the land to me with a 100,000 payment, when my wife release this information in front of them, she said my father's face turn flush, what surprise her is the words coming out from my mon " where's my share ? The 50,000 NT ", I am really a poor guy, who inherit nothing from them , keep and support the family and in the end, no one really think about me, I don't know why, If I were as poor as others in China or as bad as we see on TV news, then I will gain more ? I never thought of earning anything from them, but this is really a frustration to me, I rather do nothing now, think about myself and think how to live happily. They enjoy good life already, why all the challenge come to me alone ? I rather not the hear anything about it, not to write down anything. This make me feels so uncomfortable.
