An even more interesting story, I might add. So Keelung.is your hometown, without a doubt.

My father was a farmer so he wasn't with the military. I have not been to China so I don't know know the place. But on the map I see there is a 定海 in the ChouShan islands. That's where my parents were from.Hermanhttp://mindful-ly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811556140606524073.post-26643161210009851592015-04-19T06:01:41.558+08:002015-04-19T06:01:41.558+08:00The 7th Fleet operated in both Korean and Vietnam ...The 7th Fleet operated in both Korean and Vietnam wars, familiar to people of Taiwan.. <br /><br />Your parents were from ChouShan? I have added a photo of Madame CKS welcoming troops from ChouShan. They were needed to defend Taiwan. The civilians did not enjoy special treatment as those from DaChen. Must have been an extremely difficult time that people often chose not to talk about/re-live their hardship.EyeDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406602265159523372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811556140606524073.post-73122857474987981472015-04-19T02:25:55.015+08:002015-04-19T02:25:55.015+08:00Such heart-touching pictures.

The name of US 7th fleet was familiar to us students back then because there was an American radio station in Taiwan catering to them, playing the Billboard Top 40s by DJ Wolfman Jack. That was in the 70s or maybe even 60s when the Vietnam War was going on. My parents were from the ChouShan islands. Whether they left because of this retreat or not I don't know. My parents didn't talk much about their past at all.Hermanhttp://mindful-ly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
