　　"Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Zhejiang has always adhered to the concept of'a cross-strait pro-Taiwanese businessmen are Zhejiang businessmen', and has spared no effort to help Taiwanese enterprises in Zhejiang prevent and control the epidemic, resume work and resume production, and actively alleviate difficulties for Taiwanese businesses in Zhejiang." Yuan Jiajun Said that in the first half of this year, Zhejiang has cut taxes by 108 million yuan, reduced fees by 198 million yuan, and reduced rent and interest by more than 20 million yuan for Taiwanese enterprises in Zhejiang.

In late March, nearly 3,000 Taiwanese enterprises in Zhejiang have fully resumed work and production. There has not been a single case of Taiwanese patients infected with new coronary pneumonia in the province.

　　"Even though the current cross-strait situation is precarious, I come to the mainland again today because we must let the mainland compatriots know, let the people of Taiwan know, and let the rest of the world know that even though the two sides of the strait are currently full of thorns, there are still people who continue to walk on the road of cross-strait peace. There are still people who are willing to speak out the aspirations of most Taiwan compatriots in pursuit of peace." Hong Xiuzhu, former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang and chairman of the China Qingyan Peace Education Foundation, said in his speech that as long as the two sides of the strait are based on the "92 Consensus", which is based on the mutual trust of Dinghai Shenzhen , One day compatriots on both sides of the strait can join hands to build a beautiful home.

　　Hong Xiuzhu said that the original intention of holding the Youth Forum was to build a bridge for young people on both sides of the strait, to help the younger generation of the Chinese nation eliminate differences and enhance communication and understanding.

It is hoped that young people can look at cross-strait issues in a more macro and pragmatic way and seek solutions in a more macro and pragmatic manner.

I hope that young people will aspire to be the sons of peace across the strait, so that both sides of the strait can be enlightened and create a cultural landscape.

　　Liu Jieyi, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office, said that the current situation in cross-strait relations is severe and complicated. The nation's righteousness harms the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation and the interests and well-being of Taiwan compatriots.

We will continue to unite the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots, resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence", firmly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and firmly advance the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland.

It is hoped that the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots' expectations for peace and development will converge into a majestic force to contain "Taiwan independence" and advance reunification.

　　Liu Jieyi said that only when a country is prosperous and strong can the people have a better life, and the youth can spread their wings and fly high.

Young people must inherit and carry forward the spirit of struggle of the Chinese nation, have high ambitions, and shoulder the responsibilities of the times.

I hope that young people on both sides of the strait will integrate the pursuit of the individual into the greater self of national rejuvenation, and strive to become witnesses, participants and contributors of this great era.

　　During the main forum, Li Lanjuan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, professor of Zhejiang University, and member of the high-level expert group of the National Health Commission, sent a message to young people on both sides of the strait on "prevention and control of the epidemic and national rejuvenation", combined with his personal experience in participating in the frontline fight against the epidemic in Wuhan.

Wang Jian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, founder of Alibaba Cloud, and chief architect of Hangzhou City Brain, focuses on "digital technology and future life" to guide young people on both sides of the strait to grasp opportunities and innovate in the wave of digital economy.

In addition, many Taiwanese youths shared their own mental journeys of building a dream in Zhejiang and integrating development.
