In the midsummer season, everything competes for show. The 15th Straits Forum, the largest non-governmental exchange event between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, was held in Fujian after the smooth transition of the epidemic prevention and control in the mainland. General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the forum, profoundly clarifying the principle that “the country is good, the nation is good, and the compatriots on both sides of the Strait will be good”, and solemnly declared that it will continue to promote cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, and deepen cross-strait integration in various fields The policy proposition of developing and benefiting Taiwan compatriots fully embodies the deep concern and care for the majority of Taiwan compatriots, and will effectively gather the strong confidence and majestic strength of the Chinese people on both sides of the strait, and work together to promote the peaceful and integrated development of the two sides of the strait, and work together for the country. Unity, national rejuvenation.

The foundation of the development of cross-strait relations lies in the people, and the driving force lies in the people. Families on both sides of the strait are born with natural genes, and it is the simple wish of compatriots of the same flesh and blood to get close to relatives and frequent visits. The Straits Forum was created exclusively for cross-strait grassroots exchanges. It has always adhered to the positioning of “non-governmental, grassroots, and extensive”, constantly enriching connotations, innovating forms, and improving effectiveness. It has become the largest and most extensive cross-strait non-governmental exchange event , is well recognized by the majority of compatriots, and is known as the “People’s Forum” across the Taiwan Strait.

Fifteen years of riding the waves, the love of the Strait is endless. The forum continues to invite people from all walks of life on both sides of the strait, especially the grassroots people in Taiwan, to participate in the grand event, narrate family and friendship, talk about people’s livelihood and well-being, and spread Chinese culture, and build “heart-to-heart bridges” between compatriots on both sides of the strait; In particular, the younger generation has built a platform for cooperation and a stage for realizing their dreams together, and has introduced a series of policy measures in line with public opinion, paving a “road to benefit the people” between compatriots on both sides of the strait. Communication, friendship, and heart-to-heart exchange, people on both sides of the strait build friendship, improve well-being at the annual exchange carnival, and jointly write a “new chapter” in which the two sides of the strait are family and exchanges promote cooperation.

Happy reunion, happy and harmonious. With the smooth transition of epidemic prevention and control, the long-awaited face-to-face reunion of compatriots on both sides of the strait finally came true at this forum. Although the DPP authorities once again threatened and intimidated, political parties, non-governmental organizations and people from all walks of life on the island still actively participated in the meeting, expressing the common aspiration of “peace, development, communication, and cooperation” with practical actions. Four sections of grassroots, youth, culture, and economic exchanges, 51 series of activities, and more than 5,000 guests from all walks of life in Taiwan were invited to participate. This forum fully demonstrated the new atmosphere of unity and cohesion of compatriots on both sides of the strait. Over the past 36 years since the two sides broke the barrier of isolation, the scale of compatriot exchanges has continued to expand, and exchanges and cooperation in various fields have formed an all-round and multi-level pattern. Practice has shown that cross-strait exchanges and cooperation conform to the general trend of history, and exchanges, openness, and integration will eventually overcome hostility, isolation, and decoupling.

Love each other, the Chinese want to help the Chinese. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the mainland of the motherland has adhered to the concept of “one family on both sides of the strait”, promoted cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, deepened cross-strait integration and development, took the lead in sharing development opportunities with Taiwan compatriots, provided equal treatment for Taiwan compatriots, and continued to introduce a series of policies and measures. It is very convenient for Taiwan compatriots to work, study and live in the mainland, attracting more and more Taiwan compatriots to come to pursue their dreams and realize their dreams. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that “we have always respected, cared for, and benefited Taiwan compatriots, continued to promote cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, deepen cross-strait integration and development in various fields, and improve systems and policies that improve the well-being of Taiwan compatriots.” As Taiwan compatriots said at the forum: the mainland’s policy announcements and positive actions make people truly feel warmth, goodwill, responsibility, and responsibility.

Taking the road of peaceful development and seeking a win-win way of mutual benefit will benefit both sides of the strait at present and contribute to the future of the nation. The peaceful development of cross-strait relations is the correct path to maintain peace across the Taiwan Strait, promote common development, benefit compatriots on both sides of the Strait, and lead to national rejuvenation. In recent years, “Taiwan independence” separatist forces have intensified collusion with external forces to seek “independence” provocations, creating hostile confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, leading to tension and turbulence in the Taiwan Strait. To the soldiers fierce battle dangerous situation. Taiwan belongs to all Chinese people, and China is the common home of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should firmly follow the right path of peaceful development and common prosperity, and resolutely oppose “Taiwan independence” secession and external interference. Only by adhering to the “1992 Consensus” and opposing “Taiwan independence” can the Taiwan Strait be restored to calm and the cross-Strait relations can return to the right track of peaceful development.

Those who observe the situation are wise, and those who control the situation are wise. At present, the grand blueprint of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization is unfolding magnificently, bringing unprecedented broad space and rare opportunities for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese enterprises. The sons and daughters of the Chinese people on both sides of the strait should jointly grasp the general trend of history, stick to the righteousness of the nation, work together in solidarity, and work together to promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the great cause of the reunification of the motherland. The great glory of national rejuvenation. Join hands with one heart, and its profit will break gold. Keep going, the future can be expected!
