"In order to attract more Taiwanese youths to the mainland for employment and further study, and to promote more exchanges and friendship between the youths on both sides of the Strait, I suggest creating a'Cross-Strait Youth Vocational Skills Competition', highlighting the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture in the competition, and promoting youths on both sides of the strait Connect with hearts and become good friends and partners who pursue dreams, build dreams, and realize dreams together." Liu Zhaoxia, a member of the Taiwanese National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency on the eve of the National People's Congress.
Liu Zhaoxia is a member of the Standing Committee of the Tianjin Political Consultative Conference, the chairman of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Taiwan League, and the chairman of the Municipal Taiwan Federation.
In the past year, she has led Tianjin allies and Taiwanese compatriots in Tianjin on the front line of the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, using practical actions to interpret "together through storms and storms, walking together."
Outside of work, Liu Zhaoxia always pays attention to the great cause of the reunification of the motherland and contributes to the cross-strait youth exchanges.
This year is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". "Promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the reunification of the motherland" is an important part of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the long-term goal of 2035.
"Although there are new changes in the opportunities and challenges facing Taiwan work, the'time' and the'potential' are always on our side. We firmly believe that the motherland must be unified and must be unified." Liu Zhaoxia said, in this case , It is even more necessary to provide more opportunities and stages for cross-strait youth exchanges.
For example, she said that the 2020 "Haihe Craftsman Cup" Skills Competition-the first Tianjin-Taiwan Youth Vocational Skills Competition, built a new exchange and cooperation platform for Tianjin-Taiwan youths with the exchange of vocational skills as a link.
Affected by factors such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic, teachers and students from Taiwan cannot come to Tianjin to participate in the award ceremony, but they carefully recorded a video to express their love and dissatisfaction with the competition. They will meet again next year, showing the desire and confidence of the youth on both sides of the strait for exchanges. .
In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", in order to attract more Taiwanese youth to the mainland for employment and further education, and to promote more exchanges and friendship between cross-strait youths, it is also necessary to expand the coverage, participation and influence of activities.
In this regard, Liu Zhaoxia suggested to build a national-level exchange brand activity with Taiwan-the "Cross-Strait Youth Vocational Skills Competition" based on the "Haihe Craftsman Cup" skills competition.
"The competition can be built into an important carrier for inheriting Chinese traditional culture and integrating family and homesickness across the Taiwan Strait." Liu Zhaoxia said, in the "Taiwan and Tianjin Youth Vocational Skills Competition", Tianjin and Taiwan students compete on the same stage and communicate with each other. Many works are full of richness. The breath of Chinese culture also reflects the local characteristics of Tianjin and Taiwan, building a new bridge for promoting exchanges between young students on both sides of the strait.
Liu Zhaoxia suggested that “inheritance and integration” should be used as the main theme of the competition to promote emotional integration through skill exchanges and highlight the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, so that young people on both sides of the strait can deeply understand the cross-strait connection, blood relationship, mutual assistance, and the history of one China. Origin: The regional and cultural characteristics from all parts of the motherland are displayed in various competition works, fully demonstrating the historical process of close exchanges and exchanges between the compatriots on both sides of the strait, deep integration and development, and mutual benefit and sharing of welfare.
“In the vocational skills competition, the participation and sharing of youths on both sides of the strait is continuously expanded, and the exchanges and cooperation in the field of vocational skills across the strait are promoted.” Liu Zhaoxia pointed out that the competition can be built as an important link to promote cross-strait talent exchanges and deepen cross-strait integration and development. The competition has become a stage for young people on both sides of the strait to develop and display their talents, and it also enables Taiwanese youths to have a deeper understanding of the economic and social development of the mainland.
Youth is a new force in promoting the peaceful development of both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Liu Zhaoxia stated that it is necessary to gather all forces to help Taiwan youths to understand the motherland comprehensively, objectively and rationally, attract more outstanding young professionals from Taiwan to study and work in the mainland, increase the attraction to Taiwan’s youth, and form a counter-attack. The "containment power" of the "Taiwan independence" forces has allowed more young people from both sides of the strait to shake hands in the vocational skills exchange arena.
