Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

In a blink of an eye, the hustle and bustle of the Lunar New Year gradually faded away, and the morning light of the eighth day of the first lunar month quietly climbed up the sky, covering the earth with a layer of light golden light. On this day full of hope, the recruitment news of the Volunteer Army was like a spring breeze, blowing through every corner and into Liu Yi's heart.

Liu Yi stood in his own courtyard, gazing at the rising sun in the distance, with an indescribable passion surging in his heart. He recalled the skills he had acquired since childhood, whether it was martial arts or perseverance in farm work, which made him famous in this small town. But Liu Yi always felt that his life should not be limited to this familiar land, he should go further to find his own piece of sky.

"If I go to North Korea, my future will be bright." This thought has been lingering in his mind for a long time, and now it seems possible to come true. Liu Yi signed up for the physical examination without hesitation, and went all out in every step, as if to prove his worth to fate.

On the day of the physical examination, Liu Yi arrived at the recruitment point early. The place was bustling with people, and young people with the same dreams as him came in an endless stream. Some of them were so nervous that their palms were sweating, while others were excitedly talking about their future combat life. Liu Yi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He knew that he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

The physical examination process was rigorous and meticulous, and every step tested Liu Yi's physical fitness and willpower. With his strong physique and extraordinary perseverance, he successfully passed all the tests. When he received the notice that meant he could join the army and enter North Korea, the joy in his heart was like a flood that could no longer be suppressed.

Liu Yi returned to the compound and told his brother-in-law He Yuzhu about the incident. He then handed over his own compound and several other compounds to He Yuzhu. At this point, He Yuzhu could only give Liu Yi his blessing.

"I can finally go!" Liu Yi clenched his fists excitedly, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that he might face unknown challenges and dangers, but he also knew that this was a road to a wider world and a great opportunity for him to realize his self-worth and contribute to the country and the people.

With the villagers of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang watching him go, Liu Yi set out on his journey to North Korea. He was worried about the unknown, but also had infinite longing for the future. He knew that the hardships along the way would be the most precious wealth in his life. And that distant land would also become the stage for him to write about his youth and passion.

As the train roared, Liu Yi left the familiar town and embarked on the journey to North Korea. He sat by the window, looking at the scenery passing by, his heart full of expectations and longings for the future.

In just a few months, Liu Yi and his troops captured Seoul. Due to the shortage of supplies, Liu Yi and his troops stayed behind to cover their retreat. Liu Yi was seriously injured and captured, and was escorted to the enemy camp.

The enemy tortured Liu Yi severely, trying to get information from him. But Liu Yi gritted his teeth and refused to yield. He had only one belief in his heart, which was to defend the motherland and the honor of the soldiers.

After several days of torture, Liu Yi's body was extremely weak, but his eyes were still firm. Seeing that they could not get any useful information from him, the enemy decided to execute him.

On the execution ground, Liu Yi held his head high and faced the enemy's gun without any fear. He shouted loudly: "For the motherland and the people, I will die without regrets!" With a gunshot, Liu Yi fell in a pool of blood.

The American soldiers who came to collect the body found that he was still breathing, and their eyes widened in surprise. They couldn't understand why this man was so tenacious and still alive after suffering such a heavy blow. So they sent Liu Yi to a local hospital for emergency treatment. After a period of treatment, Liu Yi's injuries gradually improved, but his physical condition was still not optimistic. However, these soldiers did not intend to let him go, but transferred him to Wandao and handed him over to the local reactionary authorities.

When Liu Yi learned where he was and what his fate was, he was filled with mixed emotions. He felt helpless, angry, and desperate, and confused about the future. He realized that he had become a pawn in a political struggle, and his life no longer seemed to belong to him.

The unlucky Liu Yi was eventually assigned to the Yingguang Military Dependents' Village in Taipei. This was a run-down community, and he was given three simple houses as his residence. Despite the difficult living conditions, he had no choice but to accept the reality silently. During his idle days, Liu Yi began to communicate with people around him and make new friends. Among them, there were two particularly good friends, Hong Gensheng from Shangxiaoqi Village, Wuyuan, Jiangxi, and Du Shouzheng from Shandong. They got along very well and supported each other every day.

One day, Liu Yi decided to go out for a walk, hoping to find something to do. At this time, he witnessed a serious car accident. A U.S. woman was lying in a pool of blood, dying. Liu Yi rushed forward without hesitation, picked her up and took her back to his home for first aid. After a few days of careful care, the woman finally woke up.

She looked at Liu Yi gratefully and said her name was Alice Rockefeller. Hearing this name, Liu Yi's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is your relationship with the Rockefeller family, the oil tycoon of the United States?" Alice smiled and replied: "My father is the current head of the Rockefeller family." This sentence hit Liu Yi's mind like a bolt from the blue, making him stunned for a moment. He never thought that he would meet such a prominent person, let alone that he actually saved her life.

Just as he was dozing off, someone suddenly brought him a pillow, which made Liu Yi feel so comfortable! It was as if all the fatigue of the past few days had been swept away. On a whim, he decided to cook a few side dishes to comfort himself. He simply made stir-fried yellow beef, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and tomato and egg. Finally, he decided to challenge the difficult Wensi tofu.

"Honey, you can cook? Oh my god!" Alice opened her mouth in surprise, looked at Liu Yi, and on impulse, she hugged him and gave him a sweet kiss. ...

He carefully cut the soft tofu into thin strips, and each cut was like carving a work of art. Then, he gently put the tofu strips into the boiling water, and watching them roll in the water, he seemed to see his blood boiling. Then, he skillfully added the seasoning, and a fragrance came to the nose, making people salivate.

When the dish was ready and placed on the table, Alice couldn't wait to grab it with her hands and eat it. It was so hot that she jumped, but she couldn't help but want to eat it. Liu Yi smiled and taught Alice how to use chopsticks.

Alice quickly learned how to use chopsticks, and she was full of praise for Liu Yi's dishes, especially the Wensi tofu. She savored each dish carefully, with a satisfied look in her eyes.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while. Alice, who was enthusiastic and generous, did not hide her love at all. She pulled Liu Yi into the bedroom. That night, she experienced the joy of being a woman and also felt Liu Yi's warmth and love.
