Even General Zhang Zhizhong,
who represented the Nationalist Government
in negotiations,
ended up staying
as the talks progressed.
Now the Nationalist Army
is retreating on all fronts,
and Taiwan is isolated across the sea.
How long we can hold out
remains uncertain.
Yuxun,
I advise you to make plans early.
What plans should I make?
I can't decide that for you.
But you should think about your children.
I feel it's unfair to you.
Look at General Zhang Zhizhong,
when he decided to stay,
Mr. Zhou Enlai immediately arranged
to bring all
his family members to Beijing.
But look at our side,
the BIS keeps harassing you
every other day.
Children have their own fortune.
Compared to Shaocheng and Lancheng,
I'm more worried about you, Zizhen.
Your straightforward manner
and outspoken nature
might get you into trouble
here in Taiwan.
You haven't changed a bit.
You can't tolerate
the slightest dishonesty.
