In my last writing, once again I used the term "inexorable trend" to describe the historical inevitalbility.  But there had been unexpected incident that would disrupt the course, temporarily.  Let me tell you some stories of my families. 

In early 1950 before Korean War broke out(then my mother and I were still detained in Shanghai, and my father and my brothers already fleed to HK), both of my grand father, a lawyer in Taipei and a former KMT high-rank officer, and his brother, a CPA in Taipei and an incumbent KMT high-rank officer, were having fidgets all day long.  You know, either lawyer or CPA was extremely rare in those days, so both of them were social elites then, but why were they so nervous?  Because they knew PLA were coming soon.  My father later told me that my grandpa even didn't want to buy a pair of new leather shoes to replace his worn-out ones.  When people asked him why was he so frugal, he said it is not necessay to jump into the Pacific with new shoes on.  My grand uncle then was busy investing in fishing boat under the name of boosting long-range fishing industry; actually he and other "inverstors" were trying to flee to the Philipines on the boats when PLA landed on Taiwan. 

Then Korean War broke out.  My grandpa later told us the night when US announced Taiwan is a neutralized area and its 7th Fleet cruised into Taiwan Strait, all-night firecrackers were deafening the city of Taipei.  Under the auspices of US, Taiwan has been "safe" for 64 years until today.  Will there any chance that kind of "disruption" be happened one more time?  Will there be celebrating firecrakers again?   Though it seems most unlikely, I dare not say it won't.  However, from the aspects of historical viewpoint and geopolitics, eventually the unification between Mainland and Taiwan is inevitable as long as Mainland China is there, and she can wait no matter she is strong or weak.  Therefore, think of the history before us and the future lives of the islanders after us, it's high time we made the decision, and "one country, two systems" is the best conditon we can come by.
