A Journey Back in Time
In the summer of 2025, a writer from Taiwan, Lan Bozhou, set foot in Shenyang, a city in Northeast China on the Chinese mainland. Her mission? To trace the footsteps of Wu Sihan – a young man from Taiwan who left home to join the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
Chasing Scattered Clues
Lan dove into local archives, chatted with long-time residents, and walked old streets. Despite her efforts, she uncovered only a few details about Wu’s stay. But what shone through those scarce records was the sheer hardship he endured on his journey: rugged terrain, tight resources, and the courage it took to face it all.
Lessons for Today
For Lan, the trip wasn’t just a history lesson. It was a reminder that behind every faded document lies a personal story of grit and hope. In our digital age, we might not battle on front lines, but tools like podcasts, online archives, and smartphone diaries can help us preserve these memories for future generations. 🔍✨
So, why not spark your own historical adventure? Start by chatting with older relatives, digitizing old letters, or exploring local archives. You’ll be surprised at the stories waiting to be told!
