Malaysia

"I didn't expect to be reunited with my cousins abroad again. I am really happy, but they are going back to Malaysia. I really can't bear it. I hope they can go home often." On the morning of the 27th, in Zhenshan Village, Ximei Street, Nan'an City, 70 Year-old Wu Guijun kept this sentence on her lips.

　　 On the 23rd, Wu Jianlong and Wu Shumei, Wu Guiru's cousins, took their wives and others to return to their hometown of Nan'an for the first time to reunite with their relatives, and expressed their hope to invest in the construction of nursing homes.

After a century of separation, the cousins finally reunite

　　 On the 26th, Wu Guirui sat with Wu Jianlong, Wu Shumei and others, and talked to each other about the difficulty of finding relatives.

　　 There are 6 brothers in the family of Wu Zechang in the mountain village of Ximei Town. In 1906, he left his hometown with his eldest and fifth brothers and went to Southeast Asia to work hard. Before and after the founding of New China, the eldest brother and the fifth brother returned to China, but for various reasons, Wu Zechang failed to realize his desire to return to his hometown in his lifetime.

"Not only my grandfather, but my father has always been thinking about the motherland. It is his last wish to return to his hometown and reunite with his relatives." Wu Zechang's grandson Wu Jianlong said emotionally. More than 10 years ago, in order to fulfill his father's wish to return to his roots, he also He went to Malaysia Nan'an Guild Hall many times to find clues about his relatives, but he was disappointed and his father died in regret.

In the second half of last year, Wu Jianlong once again went to the Nan'an Guild Hall in Penang, Malaysia, hoping to get some news from the Nan'an family. With the help of the chairman of the Wu Clan Association of Malaysia, Wu Renyong and his clan Wu Huijian, there was really good news this time. .

　　 Perhaps it is the tacit understanding of blood connection. While Wu Jianlong is looking for his relatives, the witch rules far away in China are also looking for them. "In early 2002, I used various Wu clan associations to find clues to relatives in Malaysia. I also participated in several Wu clan associations in Ninghua. There was no news, but I did not give up searching. I am now 70 years old. Finally found them." Wu Guiru said with emotion.

　　 "At that time, I really couldn't believe that I could find my relatives. After repeated confirmations, I believed it was true." Wu Jianlong said with a smile. Later Wu Guiru went to Malaysia accompanied by his nephew and met with his brothers.

"Because I don't understand Chinese, when I first saw Wugui, I chased him and kept asking questions. I was really excited and excited. There were too many things to say and I wanted to ask. Fortunately, I had a wife to help me translate. "Wu Jianlong said with a smile. After that meeting, Wu Jianlong contacted Wu Shumei, who was also in Malaysia, and made an appointment with him to go home this year to visit his ancestors.

　　 "When I was young, my grandfather and father always missed their hometown and wanted to come back to see them, but unfortunately they could not contact their relatives in their hometown at that time, and now we are back for them, and finally there is less regret." Wu Jianlong said.

"I was born in Malaysia and went to an English school, so Chinese is very bad, but when I came back, I heard my cousin and they talked but felt very cordial. This should be the feeling of blood relatives." Wu Jianlong said in blunt Chinese. This time he returned to China with his relatives, and the family was able to reunite, very happy.

I want to invest in the construction of nursing homes to provide for the elderly in my hometown

　　 In the past few days, Wu Jianlong and others have paid homage to their ancestors and followed their relatives to Quanzhou and Yongding. Sometimes they walked in the fields with their relatives, stepping on the ridges, and smelling the soil of their hometown.

　　 Wu Jianlong and the others learned that most young people now go out to do business and work to earn money, and the elderly at home, especially the elderly who have gone through hard times and suffer from illness, can only stay at home alone. "The relatives in my hometown live in large houses, but only two old people live alone. They are very lonely. This is the case with the cousins and the cousins in the clan." Wu Shumei said.

　　 "We always want the fallen leaves to return to our roots, and we also want to come back and be with our relatives in the future." Wu Jianlong said that he and Wu Shumei had an idea to invest in the construction of nursing homes for the elderly to contribute to the development of their hometown.

"We heard from our clan members that there are many places in Nan'an that are building nursing homes and recreational and fitness centers for the elderly. Some elderly people eat together in public cafeterias, and they have realized that the elderly have a sense of security and happiness. This kind of elderly life is desirable. "Wu Shumei said, and because of this, he and Wu Guiru and Wu Jianlong had the idea of building a home nursing home, hoping to participate in the construction of their hometown to solve the problem of the elderly in their hometown.

　　 "Furthermore, we are almost 60 years old, and we hope to come back in the future and the fallen leaves return to their roots." Wu Jianlong said emotionally. "Now there are idle land in the village. We really want to fight for it to see if this project is feasible. If it is feasible, we will gather the strength of our brothers and sisters in Malaysia to raise funds to start." Wu Jianlong said.

"This is a good thing. Our Zhenshan Village definitely supports it." said Hong Xiyu, secretary of the Party branch of Zhenshan Village. It is also a problem that the two committees of Zhenshan Village have been thinking about in recent years. . Hong Xiyu said that the ideas of Wu Jianlong and other relatives of overseas Chinese coincide with the ideas of the two village committees. "If they really want to invest in this project, it is recommended that the preliminary plan of the project be made based on the actual situation of the village. We will do our best to assist, and at the same time report to the superior and apply for relevant policy support."
