[Explanation] For Taiwanese merchant Mai Zhiming, the northeastern part of the mainland is no stranger. This is his fifth time to participate in the exhibition.

As always, the tea he brought sells well. Only during lunch breaks can he take a break and soak himself in a cup.

  On September 25, the 13th China-Northeast Asia Expo was being held in Changchun, Jilin.

There are 104 booths in the Taiwan Commodity Pavilion set up at this expo, attracting 64 companies to participate in the exhibition.

Products from Taiwan, such as cultural and creative arts and crafts, jewellery, household goods, tea, food, souvenirs, etc., appeared in a concentrated manner.

  In order to participate in this expo, tea merchant Mai Zhiming set off from Taiwan in advance, and after 21 days of quarantine in Shanghai, he rushed to Changchun "northward".

  Most importantly, a kind of government promotion of this Northeast Asia Expo can also allow some cultural exchanges between the two sides of the strait.

  [Explanation] Mai Zhiming's antique booth always leaves a hint of tea.

He told reporters that the tea culture on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is "same origin". He hopes that this exhibition will make more mainland friends and share more tea tasting experiences.

  The technology of tea was originally introduced to Taiwan from Fujian.

So we can communicate with each other on both sides of the strait, and mainland friends can go to Taiwan to appreciate tea culture and some of our crafts.

  [Explanation] The reporter saw that there are many exhibits brought by Taiwanese merchants this year. Among them, the handicrafts reflecting Taiwan's exquisite culture and creative products with humanized design are full of highlights.

Taiwanese businessman Ye Junting brought dozens of colorful jade wares, which are deeply loved by customers.

  Before the exhibition, Ye Junting had communicated with industry insiders many times and learned that colorful jadeware has a promising future in the Northeast market.

Therefore, he hopes to connect with local agents through this expo.

  We are making vases of Taiwan colorful jade, and vases have always been sold very well in the Northeast.

I came to Changchun this time, hoping to find agents or some buyers.
