Du Meiru's personal experience.

Kuai Songmao, who is over 80 years old, is one of the first major pilots in China to learn to fly a jet in the United States. 1948 went to Taiwan Province province with Kuomintang troops, 1967 served as military counsellor of Taiwan Province embassy in Jordan.

Du Meiru recalled the reason for opening the restaurant, because during his stay in the embassy, he was familiar with the King of Jordan at that time, and the King's family had always had a soft spot for China culture. In a chat before Kuai Songmao retired, the king asked Kuai Songmao why many countries had Chinese restaurants, but Jordan didn't. After returning to China, Kuaisongmao discussed with Du Meiru and decided to stay in Jordan to open a restaurant after retirement.

"A few years ago, I always wanted to sell the restaurant and go back to my hometown to support the elderly. But my dad is like a workaholic. He can't spare time every day. He has to do everything by himself, and no one takes over. " Although Du Meiru is very old, he speaks clearly.

Du Meiru's mother is a famous singer Yao Yulan. When she is at home, Du Meiru will hum a few paragraphs. "But there is no white, no performance, and no one is here to sing with me and ask me questions. I had to grope for the tune myself, and I forgot a lot. " However, Kuai Songmao and Du Meiru are well-known in the local Chinese community in Amman.

Du Meiru said that the weather in Jordan was "funny". The temperature in the daytime and at night might be 16 or 7 degrees, but he stayed there unconsciously for 40 years. When asked if she was Jordanian, she shouted, "I don't want to be an Arab!" " I still use my Taiwan Province passport when I go abroad and return home. 200 1, when she returned to Shanghai, she also got a Taiwanese certificate.

"I left my hometown in Shanghai at the age of 20 and returned to Shanghai after more than 50 years." Du Meiru's tone is much lower, and the number of sighs has increased. Recalling two things that his father Du regretted most, he said that one was that his father helped fight against the Japanese and warlords, but later his son Du was arrested and locked up for more than two months, and Du's asthma became more and more serious, and his condition never improved. The second thing is that when the Kuomintang retreated to Hong Kong first, Du Yuan planned to move to France with his family. However, because he had only $6,543,800 left on him, the authorities told him to ask for a passport of $6,543,800+5,000, so Du gave up the idea and stayed in Hong Kong.

After Du's death, one day her mother received a phone call inviting her to settle in Taiwan Province. Then he took his children and Du's coffin by boat to Taiwan Province Province and buried Du in Sunseeker.

Few brothers and sisters in Du Meiru are still alive. Apart from her younger brother who immigrated to Canada, Du is the only sister who stayed in Taiwan Province Province. Although there are one or two half-brothers, there is no contact. Every year, Du Meiru not only goes to the United States to visit his eldest son and daughter, but also spends a few days back to Shanghai to see how big and fast the changes there are. "Du Meiru said," When the restaurant changed hands, the old couple decided to go back to Taiwan Province.
