Diary About Returning To The Native

1947

The Min River is crucial for Fujian Province’s economy. In 1947, Lin Sen Guan, a Communist Party member and driver of the “Fuzhou” steamship, smuggled weapons and radios to a guerrilla base with fellow party members. The enemy, led by transportation inspector Wang Xun, sent spy Li Boguang to monitor them. Lin Sen Guan tricked Li Boguang, but the spy later discovered the weapons. Lin Sen Guan pushed him into the water, witnessed by helmsman A Wang, who refused to reveal the truth despite enemy pressure. The underground party decided to transport remaining weapons to the guerrilla zone. The “Fuzhou” set sail, followed by enemy ships. Near Luohan Tan, a guerrilla team unloaded the weapons. The enemy opened fire, but A Wang steered the “Minh River” into an enemy vessel, causing mutual destruction. The weapons reached the guerrilla zone, and Lin Sen Guan continued their underground efforts.
