1940 Military Park Tour...Moreways Travel & Events.

From the late 1940s, Kuomintang, defeated by the communists, started relocating soldiers from Mainland China to the then-province of Taiwan. For higher-ranking officers or lucky ones, families were brought along. For the less privileged, what was imagined by these soldiers to be a temporary separation from families back home, harbouring hopes of returning, history unfortunately had them stuck in Taiwan for the rest of their lives. Many years later when tension eased and cross-border visit was finally permitted, some made it back home to see their long-separated kin. Tragically, many returned only to pay respects to deceased parents or spouses; some never made it back at all and yearned for their homeland till they passed on in Taiwan.
