Meeting in Taiwan after Being Far Apart

千里相逢在台灣

Leon and I lived far apart before we met. My hometown was Shenyang in northeastern China; and his hometown was Guangdong in southeastern China. China’s civil war started near my hometown shortly after WWII. My family flew to Beijing in early 1948, then to Taiwan later that year. Leon’s family left Guangdong and arrived at Hainan Island in 1949, then went to Taiwan the following year.

未相識之前, 我們天南地北. 我的家鄉在中國東北的瀋陽市. 他在南方廣東東莞. 第二次世界大戰結束不久,中國內戰由我的家鄉開始. 我們舉家在1948年初飛到了北京市. 年底到了台灣. 汝樑一家在1949年去了海南島. 1950年到了台灣.
