The MV "Let's Sing a Song Together", co-created by well-known musicians from both sides of the strait, has recently attracted praise from netizens on both sides of the strait.
The song is based on the background of three Taiwanese brothers and sisters who went to Fujian to find their ancestral home with half a genealogy. Musicians from both sides of the strait created and performed with heart and affection, fully demonstrating the love of Taiwan compatriots who yearn for reunion, and the blood of compatriots on both sides of the strait is thicker than water.
Lyrics such as "Looking for the roots, you and I have a dialogue, crossed the strait, and the two sides of the strait have always been one family" and "hometown dialect reminds a wanderer of home and wants to go back for reunion" and other lyrics, expressing Taiwan compatriots' deep feelings for the motherland and their thoughts of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors.
The MV was shot across the two sides of the strait. In addition to the Taipei 101 building, the two statues of Mazu in Beigang, Yunlin, Taiwan and Mazu in Putian, Fujian, faced each other across the strait.
Some Taiwanese netizens commented, "This is a New Year's gift from musicians on both sides of the strait." The song warmed both sides of the strait, but the green camp in Taiwan was restless.
They dispatched collectively for a while, labelled the song as a "United Front Tool", and carried out cyber attacks on related musicians, in an attempt to incite cross-strait confrontation and alienation of compatriots' kinship.
However, Taiwanese netizens have long seen through the despicable tricks of the Green Camp and responded with a stern response: "The two sides of the strait are originally one family, and only the 'Taiwan independence' elements dare not say that their ancestors are from the mainland, which is sad!" "It is clearly the DPP who engaged in 'Taiwan independence' with a guilty conscience! "The Taiwanese lyricist also responded on social platforms, creating this song to enhance the emotional exchange of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
Cross-strait exchanges are the aspiration of the people and the general trend, and are in line with the common aspirations and interests of the people on both sides of the strait.
The mainland has always actively supported cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and warmly welcomes Taiwan compatriots to come to the mainland to develop, share opportunities and realize their dreams.
The continuous introduction of Taiwan-friendly policies and broad development space have attracted more and more Taiwan compatriots from all walks of life to actively participate in cross-strait exchanges in various fields and come to the mainland to pursue their dreams.
Last year, 20 Taiwanese artists and writers participated in the National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Chinese Writers Association as official representatives for the first time.
13 Taiwan compatriots have become new members of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and 8 Taiwan compatriots in Fujian have been awarded the representative inheritors of the intangible cultural heritage in Fujian Province. Many Taiwanese professionals have come to the mainland to engage in technology, education, rural Create townships, etc.
More and more Taiwan compatriots have found a stage for their own development on the mainland and joined the process of realizing the integration and development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Today, many Taiwanese performers come to the mainland to participate in cultural exchange activities, and many of the works and programs they have participated in are well received by audiences on both sides of the strait.
Every major festival for Chinese sons and daughters, we will celebrate together with compatriots from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, and overseas Chinese.
Taiwanese performers often perform on the same stage with mainland singers. From the CCTV Spring Festival Gala to the National Day Gala, whether they sing works full of traditional cultural charm or sing affectionately "My Motherland", they all leave good memories for the audience.
The compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are all Chinese, and they are all one family.
Cross-strait exchanges are in line with the well-being of people on both sides of the strait, and the green camp on the island can never stop it.
The new era and new journey have brought about a new atmosphere for compatriots on both sides of the strait. We will continue to promote cross-strait exchanges, deepen cross-strait integration and development, and promote cross-strait compatriots to unite and jointly create a better future!
