三兄妹考上北大：“爷爷，我们回来了！”

The three siblings crossed the Taiwan Strait to trace the family’s origins, and are now studying at Peking University, a long-held wish of their grandfather’s that he didn’t live to see come true. 

After graduating from the best high school in Putian, Lin Wen-fang enrolled at Shanghai’s Fudan University in 1947, but left for Taiwan during the summer vacation that year to visit his sister.

That trip changed his destiny. For various reasons, he was unable to return to the mainland until the late 1980s.

Since the end of the 1980s, when people from both sides were once again able to visit each other, millions have traveled from Taiwan to the mainland in search of their origins.           

Lin Yen-chen’s grandfather was among those who crossed the Strait to find their families in the late 1980s. He said his favorite picture of his grandfather was taken during the first family reunion in Fujian. 

The three Lins were all eventually admitted to Peking University. With help from the Fujian Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, they were able to find their relatives, thanks to a copy of the family’s genealogy they’d been given.
