Chen Fuyou, 81-year-old, a former soldier from Longling city, had lost contact with his relatives in the homeland for as long as 57 years. He spent his terminal life with destitution and senile diseases. He still has a lifelong unanswered question about when his mother died and how, is his older brother still alive or not. He has sent countless letters to the address of the home he departed but there is no clue of the letters being received or not. He is still waiting and desiring to return to his motherland and find out the truth before the end of his life. Chiang Rai, Thailand. January 24, 2
