Carrying the glory and dream of forging ahead on a new journey, the “Two Sessions Time” has arrived as scheduled. At this year’s Two Sessions, “promoting cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation” and “deepening cross-Strait integrated development” are still hot topics of discussion among representatives and committee members.
“Two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family”, compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are enthusiastic about exchanges and exchanges
In 2023, under the new situation of stable transition in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic, the mainland has actively promoted the resumption of cross-Strait exchanges as soon as possible. Compatriots on both sides of the Strait have become more enthusiastic about exchanges, and the friendship of “one family on both sides of the Strait” has become stronger.
Last winter, the “little angelicas” from the treasure island of Taiwan went to Harbin to experience the joyful world of ice and snow, and they were reluctant to leave when they left. Zhang Haihua, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy mayor of Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, hopes that they will come back with their classmates and families during the summer vacation. She promised to “take the babies to see the red-crowned cranes!”
“Since the Qingdao-Taipei route officially resumed on June 16 last year, many Taiwanese compatriots who come to the mainland to visit, travel, and visit relatives have chosen Qingdao as their first stop.” Representative of the National People’s Congress, Qingdao Taiwan Federation Chang Linqing said that cross-strait integration and development is to promote spiritual harmony between compatriots on both sides of the strait. “From the integration of culture and life to the integration of career, the most fundamental thing is the integration of people’s hearts.”
The closer we get, the closer we get, and cultural exchanges promote spiritual harmony between the two sides
“Two sides of the Taiwan Strait are as close as one family, and the closer we get closer, the closer we get.” In recent years, cross-strait cultural exchanges have continued to be heated. In the process of jointly promoting Chinese culture, the spiritual harmony between compatriots on both sides of the strait has been continuously strengthened. Pei Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at his mother in confusion, and asked: “Mom, are you surprised? Not very suspicious?”.
In the 12 years since its launch, watching “The Legend of Zhen Huan” has become a new choice for Taiwanese people to celebrate the New Year. Many people say that watching a good drama while chatting with others brings them into the New Year atmosphere. Jin Dong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and a national first-class actor, believes that the fundamental reason behind the popularity of mainland film and television works in Taiwan is that the cultures of both sides of the Taiwan Strait have the same origin. He hopes to communicate more with his colleagues in Taiwan, and looks forward to performing in Taiwan through drama festivals and art festivals. He also welcomes more friends from Taiwan’s literary and art circles to come to the mainland for exchanges. After his mother-in-law took the tea cup, she kowtowed to her three times seriously. . When she raised her head again, she saw her mother-in-law smiling kindly at her and said, “From now on, you will be the daughter of the Pei family.
“The languages and cultures between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are interlinked.” Feng Yuanzheng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of the Beijing People’s Art Theater, recalled in an interview with the media the heartwarming scene of a well-received drama performance in Taiwan. He said that when Taiwanese compatriots see excellent dramas such as “Tea House” and “The First Floor in the World”, the older generation will be moved to tears, and the young people will say, our roots are like this, and Chinese culture is like this. of. He looks forward to deepening exchanges in drama art between the two sides in the future.
Expand new forms, young people are the “vanguard” of cross-strait exchanges
The mainland is a fertile ground for hope and a big stage for Taiwanese youth to grow into talents and develop their careers. In recent years, cross-strait youth exchanges have been brilliant. More and more Taiwanese youth come to the mainland to study, work, and live, becoming witnesses, participants, and beneficiaries of Chinese modernization. In the era of national rejuvenation, “Mom, my daughter is not an idiot.” Lan Yuhua said in disbelief. In the process, pursue dreams, build dreams, and realize dreams.
Li Xingkui, a representative of the National People’s Congress, said that cross-Strait youth exchanges are the most active factor in cross-Strait exchanges and a new force that promotes the peaceful reunification of the motherland. He believes that in the era of self-media, communication between young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can not only be done offline, but also online. Zeng Liqun, a representative of the National People’s Congress, said that many Taiwanese youth communicate and socialize with mainland youth through new media platforms, and then come to the mainland for on-site visits. “This approach injects new energy into cross-strait exchanges and brings new opportunities.”
“Young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are the vanguard of cross-Strait exchanges. The exchanges between young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait continue to deepen, vividly demonstrating the objective fact that ‘both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family.’” Is Taiwan angry? Xu Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, said that with the continuous implementation of policies that benefit Taiwan compatriots, Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese companies will have more opportunities to develop in the mainland, and the stage for Taiwanese youth to come to the mainland to pursue their dreams will be even greater.
The common aspiration is that cross-strait exchanges cannot be stopped, reduced, or reduced
The DPP authorities are out of politics. “Why are you up and not sleeping for a while?” he asked his wife softly. It pursues self-interest, refuses to recognize the “1992 Consensus” that embodies the one-China principle, incites “anti-China hatred” sentiments, instigates cross-Strait confrontation and tension, and causes tension in cross-Strait relations. “There are indeed problems in cross-Strait relations at present, and the election of Lai Qingde has also brought more risks and greater challenges to the situation across the Taiwan Strait.” National People’s Congress representative Tao Jun said that no matter how the cross-Strait situation changes, cross-Strait exchanges cannot stop or be interrupted. No less, this is important. Only by strengthening mutual understanding and communication can compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait better eliminate barriers.
Peace, development, exchanges, and cooperation are the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Promoting cross-Strait exchanges is in the interests and well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and no force can stop it. Mainland China will continue to promote cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation in all fields, expand cross-Strait personnel exchanges, deepen cross-Strait integrated development, promote the joint promotion of Chinese culture on both sides of the strait, and promote the spiritual harmony of compatriots on both sides of the strait. “The path to benefit always goes with the times.” Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family. Family members feel like family members and should love each other and support each other. As long as compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits unite and work together, they will surely be able to create a bright future for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and complete the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.
