(Xinhua)Chen Jie from the Chinese mainland could never have imagined taking a photo for a stranger would lead him to a long-lost relative in Taiwan, someone he had only heard about from his elders.
The encounter began in a July sunrise by the Lugu Lake in southwest China's Yunnan Province, when Chen, a Shanghai-based content creator on a business trip, helped take a picture for a Taiwanese tourist.
The two exchanged WeChat contacts to share the photo, and through their conversations, Chen learned that the tourist, Fei Hai-ping, had ancestral roots in Puyuan Township in east China's Zhejiang Province and was living in the city of Kaohsiung.
The three pieces of information matched exactly with the details of the out-of-contact Taiwanese relative his family elders had often spoken of.
Chen immediately messaged his father, who asked only one question: "Is his dad named Fei Yunfeng?" The answer came from Fei Hai-ping: "Yes."
At that moment, a family bond that had stretched across the Taiwan Strait and lain silent for decades was unexpectedly restored.
Still amazed by what had happened, Chen asked AI to estimate the odds of such a coincidence. The result comes between hundreds of millions and tens of billions to one.
"That's like flipping a coin 30 times and getting heads every single try," he said. "But this unbelievable thing was my reality."
The two families stayed in touch after their encounter in Yunnan, and on Aug. 13, Fei Hai-ping traveled from Kaohsiung to Puyuan, their shared ancestral hometown, to meet Chen Jie's father Chen Yutang. The two cousins, both 71, gave each other a big hug.
Their connection dated back a generation. Chen Jie's grandfather, Chen Alin, and Fei Hai-ping's father, Fei Yunfeng, were biological brothers. After their parents died, Chen Alin was adopted by another family and took the surname Chen, while Fei Yunfeng remained with the Fei family.
In 1949, the defeated Chinese Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, and the People's Republic of China was founded under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. That year, the Fei family moved to Taiwan. The two families were separated for decades due to historical circumstances. In the late 1980s, Fei returned to the Chinese mainland in search of his roots. He found his brother Chen and brought with him a family photo from Taiwan, with each member carefully identified.
Chen Yutang has treasured that photo ever since then.
Also well-preserved are the yellowed letters that Chen Yutang wrote on behalf of his illiterate father to Fei Yunfeng during the 1990s. At that time, letters were the only way the families could exchange greetings and share news of their lives across the strait.
The letters mostly centered on the everyday cares and concerns. Fei Yunfeng reminded his younger brother to smoke less, drink less, and take care of his health. On one occasion, he even asked someone to send Chen 200 U.S. dollars, telling him to put it away for emergencies.
To the Chen family's younger generation whom Fei has never met, he also offered sincere encouragement, telling them to live a good life and stay grounded.
Later, due to declining health, Fei Yunfeng moved into a nursing home. Phone calls had since gone unanswered and letters received no reply. After hearing Fei's passing, the Chen believed they might never be able to reconnect with their kin again.
Fei Hai-ping, who grew up in Taiwan, knew only vaguely of an uncle on the mainland through the old letters and photos his father had left behind.
For Fei, the reunion at Lugu Lake thus felt like a blessing from their fathers. "I came all the way to see the place where my dad was born and grew up," he said while in Puyuan.
Fei brought gifts from Taiwan including tea and pineapple cakes, and was welcomed with offerings from the Chen family, including local chrysanthemum tea, pastries and silk quilts. Fei hoped to bring his grandchildren back to Puyuan someday, so the younger generations could meet and keep the family bond alive.
Chen Jie is still amazed by the fateful meeting and can't help but wonder: What if he had not gone to Yunnan on that business trip? What if he had not woken up early to watch the sunrise? What if his uncle had not asked him to take the photo? What if they had not continued chatting on WeChat afterward?
Without any one of those coincidences, their paths might never have crossed again.
"Whether the reunion was a result of countless coincidences or driven by some unseen force, it has made me see the fact clearly than ever, that the Taiwan Strait can never sever the bonds of our blood," he said.

。 目前,多个热带系统正在活跃,南海热带低压和台湾东侧热带扰动将给我国沿海带来持续性降雨,同时远海台风“沙德尔”最强可达超强台风级别,也存在影响我国的可能。
华东、华南将迎强降雨
8月21日至23日,华东到华南沿海会是我国强降雨最多的区域,海南岛、广西、广东、福建、浙江、台湾岛等地部分地区有暴雨或大暴雨,海南局地累计降雨量可达300至400毫米。
台风“沙德尔”最强可达超强台风级
存在登陆我国可能
台风“沙德尔”自19日生成后一直保持热带风暴级别,今天(21日)后强度将不断升级,最强可达超强台风级。
8月26日以后,它的移动路径存在两种可能性,一种是西行登陆我国华东沿海;另一种是折向偏北方向移动,奔向日韩。预计要到下周,台风“沙德尔”的走势才会明朗,请保持密切关注。
关注预警预报 及时防范避险
水利部和中国气象局8月20日18时联合发布黄色山洪灾害气象预警:预计8月20日20时至21日20时,海南西部、新疆北部等地部分地区发生山洪灾害可能性较大(黄色预警)。
中央气象台8月21日10时继续发布暴雨蓝色预警:预计8月21日14时至22日14时,海南岛西部、广西南部、台湾岛南部、山东半岛南部等地部分地区有大暴雨(100~200毫米)。
受热带低压影响
海南落实各项防御举措
中央气象台8月21日10时继续发布热带低压预报:北部湾热带低压的中心今天(21日)上午8点钟位于距离海南省东方市北方向约150公里的北部湾海面上,预计该热带低压将先在北部湾北部回旋少动并加强为热带风暴级。为及时组织辖区船舶做好防御工作,广西海事局已于8月20日9时启动防御台风二级应急响应。
8月21日上午,南海低压已进入北部湾,广西壮族自治区水利厅决定自21日9时启动洪水防御四级应急响应。
南海热带低压于昨天(20日)在海南文昌市龙楼镇沿海登陆。受其影响,今天(21日)进海南岛列车Z501、K511、Z8007、Z111次停运。
史上最强厄尔尼诺,或要来了!
对我国有何影响?
当前赤道中东太平洋海表温度持续升高,预计将于11月至12月前后达到峰值,形成一次超强厄尔尼诺事件,大概率成为有观测记录以来最强的一次。
鉴于厄尔尼诺仍在快速发展中,且其影响具有滞后性,事件发展的次年夏季,是要特别关注的时间段。
国家气候中心首席预报员顾薇介绍,明年夏天,厄尔尼诺的影响要比今夏更为显著。预计我国中东部地区降水总体偏多,尤其是长江中下游地区,降水偏多比较明显,暴雨洪涝风险较高,可能有较重汛情。另外,江淮、江南、华南等地的高温热浪也会更加明显。
暴雨来袭,家里进水怎么办?
第一时间断电:无论积水是否没过家电、插座,应立即切断家中总电闸、拔掉电器插头,避免触电风险。
封好排水口:观察家中排水口是否出现倒灌,可用湿棉被、装好水的塑料袋堵住,防止污水回流。
准备漂浮材料:若居住在平房,发现积水迅速上涨,此时应立即携带漂浮物向高处转移,同时发出求救信号,等待救援。【编辑:何颖】。
