  "Spring is here, everything is reviving, and I specially made this beautiful, appetizing and warming dish'Cuizhu Primula', which is in season." Li Jun said.

In this culinary competition, after voting by his WeChat Moments, the chef Chen Wuyan won with a high vote.

  After losing the game, Li Jun was obviously a little bit unconvinced: "For the first time, let Taiwan compatriots actually get equal, and it's a tie."

  Looking at his wife's wink again, Li Jun immediately changed his slogan sweetly: "In this competition, I selected fresh ingredients, exquisite materials, and excellent production. Why can't I win the'Taiwan Braised Pork Ribs' which have been boiled for a few hours? Isn’t it because the'rival' is dying of youth, what is bitter is love!"

  Looking at his wife’s cheerful smile, Li Jun revealed to reporters, “The competition is fake, and it’s true to take the wife to cook together, just to enhance the relationship between husband and wife on Women’s Day.”

  "Everyone said that my dishes lack soul, and I will be in the cooking competition next time. I am going to make a'Gastrodia Stewed Pig Brain'. I have thought of the name of the dish, and it will be called'Soul Out of Aperture'!" Li Jun said .

  Li Jun and Chen Wuyan also envied others in their sweet daily life. "Every delicious taste perfectly interprets the family on both sides of the strait." All friends commented on Li Jun's WeChat circle of friends.

  As cross-strait exchanges become closer and closer, nearly 400,000 "cross-strait couples" have become the most tender bond of people-to-people exchanges.

Zhejiang and Taiwan are geographically close, related to each other, culturally related, and business connected. Marriage and family on both sides of the strait have become direct spreaders of cross-strait kinship, witnesses to the development of cross-strait relations, and are the most natural and intimate bond between the two sides of the strait.

  It is true that a good marriage requires fate and more practice.

Many years ago, Chen Wuyan from Keelung, Taiwan came to the mainland alone to find happiness, and finally found her home in Linhai, Zhejiang, an ancient city and a new city.

  "Compared to having a candlelight meal in a high-end restaurant on Women's Day, this side dish makes me feel more happy! Today makes me more sure that his side is where I decide to stay for life." Packing up the sweet "game field", Chen Wu Yan quietly confided to reporters.

  Where is the heart, where is the love, where is the home.

On festivals, the happy reunion of small families fills the world with "fireworks", even more so for marriages and families on both sides of the strait.

Lovers on both sides of the strait know each other, know each other and love each other, making this unique tacit understanding of love worthy of each other's "I do," and it is also the most tender footnote to cross-strait relations.
