Chapter Summary:
Tien Pao still stood on the door but didn’t dare to go in.
He tied Glory-of-the-Republic with the barrel and waited for someone to come
out to take him. In the next moment, Tien Pao saw the doctor driving with
Lieutenant Hamsun, who is the airman he saved in the mountains. He and his 60
fathers were delighted to see his return the Lieutenant, who is in the hospital
for so long.
Tien Pao could now talk with Lieutenant Hamsun as he have
the interpreter with him. Tien Pao was thinking that he would be adopted now
forever until his brain struck a brilliant plan! He told the plan to the
doctor, Lieutenant Hamsun and Sergeant Wilson. It needed an airplane which
Lieutenant Hamsun wanted to fly. The doctor denied but he agreed after seeing
Hamsun’s commitment.
Lieutenant Hamsun was flying the airplane with Tien Pao,
Glory-of-the-Republic and the interpreter alongside him. Tien Pao went to
Hengyang first and wanted to fly over every refugee which would help Tien Pao
find his parents and his baby sister. He was disappointed but Lieutenant Hamsun
had hope. He flied Tien Pao to the field where his parents work. He saw his
mother among all the women! He was delighted but he couldn’t find her easily
but eventually did. Soon, his mother calls her husband from the mountains.
The story ends when Tien Pao finally met his parents while
his sister, Beauty-of-the-Republic was in the neighbourhood village.
