Hua Tuo's childhood was an eventful time for the Chinese nation and his personal family. The year he was born was the eve of the Japanese invaders' massive attack on China. After the September 18th Incident, the three northeastern provinces became "Manchukuo" and Songhu became the "unarmed zone" of China's army. 1935, the Japanese invaders attempted to annex all of China, creating the "North China Incident", and poor China was in danger of laying eggs. Father Yun Nie was a patriot who participated in the Revolution of 1911 and the Northern Expedition. /kloc-in the spring of 0/935, he became the district commissioner and security commander of the seventh administrative inspector in Guizhou Province, and the district office was located in Pingyao County. He is also a county magistrate. He usually refuses to take part in local officials' invitation to eat and drink, and refuses to meet all local tyrants and evil gentry, so he is isolated from local feelings and his information is ineffective. 1936 65438+1October 25th, which is the first day of the first lunar month, the Red Army crossed Pingyao on the Long March. It snowed heavily that night and the wind was biting. The Red Army launched an siege war, the officers and men guarding the city fled in cold war, and Yun Nie died in the melee.

My father died alone in a remote place, and his wife and children were in Wuhan. Hua tuo's brothers and sisters are all in infancy. Eldest brother Huaheng is still in middle school, while elder sister Hualing is only in primary school. Hua tuo is the youngest, still in his infancy. After his father died, his body was transported from Pingyao to Guiyang, the provincial capital, and from Guiyang to Wuhan. First lived in Yingshantang, Huangtupo, Wuchang, and then moved to Changchun Temple outside Binyangmen, Wuchang on April 4, 1936. On the afternoon of April 3rd, a family sacrifice was held in Yingshan Guild Hall, presided over by any owner of the Sui Department of Wuhan, with more than 200 relatives and friends attending. Hua Tuo attended the family sacrifice, while Dai Xiao was held by people to salute.

My father died and Wuhan fell. At that time, Nie's house in Wuhan, Minhua Lane was bombed, Shouyi Road was demolished and Jonson's house was sold. 1In the autumn of 938, Hua Tuo took his mother and four brothers and sisters to Jianghan Pass by boat from Liu Jiaqi Road, Jiang Yan Road, Hankou 14. Against the Japanese artillery fire, she went upstream and fled to her mother's family-Sandouping, Yichang, Hubei. A stranger named Fang, out of sympathy for their orphans and widows, vacated two houses without even charging rent. There is a stream in front of the house and a mountain behind it. The house is dark because there are no windows and there is no sunshine all year round. Even in broad daylight, you have to walk in the dark for a while before you can see clearly. There are still more than ten miles away from Sandouping, and most of Huatong's family are farmers and poor relatives. They will walk for miles and send Nie a basket of eggs, a bundle of cabbage or a bundle of sweet potatoes. Farmers' simple and warm human feelings, coupled with vibrant mountains and rivers, gave great comfort to the poor and sad Nie family.

Yichang is not a place to live with the Japanese invasion and westward advance. Soon, Hua Tuo moved from Sandouping to Wanxian County in Sichuan with his mother and settled down in the countryside surrounded by mountains. Rocks cover half the sky. The mountain is full of rocks and bushes. The air is humid and smells of earth. Standing in front of the village, you can see the Yangtze River shining in the distance. There is a row of stone railings next to the hut, and behind it is a vegetable garden with pumpkins, peppers and cabbage. Mom has been learning to grow vegetables for a long time, and the vegetable garden has solved the needs of the whole family. When I was a child, Hua Tuo loved meat most, and the little boy needed nutrition! Mother can't afford meat, only pickled radish and pickles. Xiao Huatong sat on the high threshold and wailed: "I want to eat meat!" " I want to eat meat! "Mother smiled and said," Well, marry a girl who sells meat! " "Hua tuo cried more sadly. Hua Tuo has just entered primary school, and her sister Hua Ling is studying at Chongqing Central University. She will return to Wanxian in the summer vacation, and Hua Tuo will lead rhubarb dog to meet her. My brother Hua Mao is in the Air Force School. In the evening, Hua Tong and his mother enjoy the cool in the yard. When they see the plane flying in the night sky, Hua Tuo will say that it is the plane driven by his brother. 1945 After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in August, Hua Tuo returned to Wuhan from Sichuan with his mother, lived in Nie Laozhai, Yanhe Avenue in Hankou, continued his studies in Hankou No.14 Primary School, and entered Wuchang Wenhua Middle School for junior high school after graduation.

At the beginning of 1949, 13 Hua Tuo, who was only in the second grade of junior high school, left the mainland for Taiwan Province Province with his mother, brother and sister.

In Taiwan Province Province, the life of the Huatong family is not smooth. His brother Nie Huamao served in the Air Force from 65438 to 0952 and died in an air crash at the age of 25. From 65438 to 0960, Nie Hualing, the eldest sister who was an editor of Free China magazine, lost her job because of the "Lei Zhen Incident"; 1962, my suffering mother died of lung cancer. Hard life and bitter experience did not destroy Hua Tuo's will, but cultivated his spirit of making progress and inspiring learning. From junior high school to senior high school, he studied hard and was admitted to the Physics Department of Taiwan Province Provincial University. 1957 After graduating from university, he was admitted to Harvard University. When his mother died, Hua Tuo was studying for a doctorate at Harvard. On the day of her mother's death, Hua Tuo wrote a letter to her: I would like to return from my studies as soon as possible and be filial to my mother. In order not to affect Hua Tuo's study, his sister and relatives in Taiwan Province kept the news of his mother's death a secret, and he didn't know the bad news of his mother's death until he received a condolence card from his good friend. As a son of man who has never seen his father's face and has been living with his mother, as a wanderer who misses his mother in a foreign country, his mood at this time is really indescribable. He was hiding in the student dormitory alone, lying on the bed crying. He wrote to his sister and said, "mom, mom must want to see me before she dies!" ..... Mother struggled all her life to bring us up, and then the responsibility was on us. I will try my best, and my mother will be comforted in the spirit of heaven. Tell my mother on her deathbed, tell me what she said to us ... "
