  "No matter how heavy the rain is, I always have to go home..." On the screen, a small Zhejiang singer sang "Big Dreamer" on the "cloud", and the small members of the "Ling Yang" team from Miaoli, Taiwan were dancing and playing.

  This screen-to-screen performance added a touch of childishness to the 12th Straits Forum held in Xiamen on the 20th.

The poet Yu Guangzhong’s "Homesickness" and the musician Yang Mu’s "First Home" evoked the nostalgia of "this side" and "the other side" of the strait in the opening performance of the forum, and talked about "the first shore." , The first hug" misses.

  Although the epidemic has not yet cleared and the Taiwan authorities have blocked it, the sentiment of "wishing for good and homesickness" still flows in every link of this session of the Straits Forum.

  "I am from Kinmen. I used to come to the mainland to facilitate self-introduction. I used to say that I am from Xiamen. They are easy to understand." In his speech at the forum, Taiwan New Party Chairman Wu Chengdian said with a smile.

  After the opening of the “mini three links” route between Xiamen and Jinmen, Jinmen, which has always been severely short of water, realized the “water connection” with Quanzhou, Fujian in 23 years.

Gratitude for the promotion of compatriots on both sides of the strait, Wu Chengdian thanked both sides of the strait for their "heart-to-heart and frank contributions, and to accomplish this feat without reservation."

  "Xiamen’s subway has been repaired to Dadeng Island, and Dadeng Island extends two kilometers to Kinmen." Wu Chengdian said that Dadeng International Airport, located between Jinsha and Xiamen, is about to be completed and opened. "We look forward to this international airport. "Able to implement the Jinxia living circle as soon as possible", "use the Jinmen Xiamen model to integrate the two sides of the strait."

  "Only through integration and development can compatriots on both sides of the strait get closer and closer to each other and achieve spiritual harmony." said Lu Li'an, a Taiwanese professor at Shanghai Fudan University from Kaohsiung, Taiwan during the speech session of guest representatives on both sides of the strait.

  Over the past 23 years of "landing", Lu Li'an has witnessed the overall accelerated development of higher education in mainland China. From Xiamen North Station, Taiwan Youth Innovation and Innovation Base, Shandong Dezhou, and Taiwanese-funded enterprises that have mastered the global automobile binder market, they rushed from Tianjin and Guangzhou to Wuhan to participate in the new crown. The active figures of Taiwanese doctors and other Taiwanese enterprises in the fight against the pneumonia epidemic have felt the "integrated development of Taiwanese people on the mainland, and we are not alone."

  "Love Taiwan and love the mainland. The two do not conflict. This is not a multiple choice." Because of this, four Taiwanese "dream chasers" in the mainland, including Xie Huajing and Ying Zhihong, were able to meet the most severe epidemic situation. He ran 9,000 kilometers overseas, across many countries in Southeast Asia, to help the mainland buy masks and medical supplies.

  Why do such a thing?

Taiwan’s rural planner Zhang Xinyi shared the same answer in the mainland’s experience: one family on both sides of the strait, and one family on both sides of the strait.

  In Fujian, Zhang Xinyi used the Taiwanese rural development concept of "continuing the vitality of space with humanistic stories" and invested in the blueprint of rural revitalization on the mainland, and successfully created the "Growing Li Family" in Taining County, Sanming City, and "a cup of herbal tea" in Shouning County, Ningde City. "Community living room and other rural construction projects.

  "Jixi Village has thus become our second hometown. We feel a strong sense of humanity here, and we have a new family." Zhang Xinyi said, they held a close-knit and good-neighbor activity in Xiadang Village, Shouning County. Watching the villagers change from bystanders to active participants."

  Across a shallow strait, New Party Honorary Chairman Yu Muming, Penghu County Public Opinion Representative Chen Shuangquan and other people from all walks of life in Taiwan also expressed their blessings through video, congratulating the successful convening of the Strait Forum, and the nostalgia and family affection are overflowing.

  "Any difficulties and obstacles, don't stop our approach to each other." Huang Zhixian, a well-known Taiwan host, said that the hearts of both sides of the strait must get closer and closer.
