1949年，二伯的一个好朋友，姑且称之为张三，拿一包东西到奶奶家，说是你们家老二的东西，放下东西就走了。奶奶打开包裹，里面是二伯贴身穿的衣服和零星的个人用品。奶奶一看，浑身发凉，可能人已经完了。等跑到街上去追张三，早已没有张三的踪影。

　　张三跟二伯的关系非常好，有一年曾经寄存过一只箱子在家里，以前没人会去动别人的箱子，现在二伯有可能已经不在人世，而张三是唯一的线索，顾不得那么多了，父亲撬开了箱子。箱子里的东西都是些普通衣物，只有一张合影照片，上面没有任何字迹，大家只辨认出，张三在其中。

　　父亲拿着这张照片在军队系统内问，有人认出了这张照片，是军统培训班某一期某一班的合影留念。大家这才知道，张三是军统的。父亲根据这条线索，顺着蛛丝马迹，一个人破解二哥失踪之谜。最终捋出了大致经过：二伯和几个朋友，包括这个张三，打算投奔延安，不过最后一刻，二伯一群人被张三出卖。胡宗南把人抓起来，不好处置，给蒋介石请示，蒋介石半信半疑，置而不论。直到1949年，国民党军队政府一片大乱，也顾不上了，二伯和其他人最终被枪决。

　　在台湾的大伯一家和奶奶断了联系，大伯觉得，母亲和弟弟可能已经不在人世。直到1981年，大伯得知他们还在，激动得难以自抑。大伯很小心，怕给母亲添麻烦，从台湾托人到美国，转了一大圈，给母亲寄来了一张家庭合影。在断了音信几十年之后，张艺谋的奶奶在91岁高龄，收到了大儿子的一张六寸全家福。
