　　China News Service, Nanning, April 12th, title: Taiwanese Tsinghua postdoctoral fellows pursue their dreams in Guangxi: Use music to build a bridge of communication between the two sides of the strait

　　China News Agency reporter Jiang Xuelin

　　He is a PhD in economics and has done post-doctoral research on economic regional development in Taiwan Studies at the School of Public Administration of Tsinghua University.

Right now, he is teaching a music class at Guangxi University of Finance and Economics. He hopes to use music to build a bridge of communication between people on both sides of the strait.

He is Wang Zhenjiang, a Taiwanese teacher of Guangxi University of Finance and Economics.

　　Wang Zhenjiang loves music very much. He started to learn piano at the age of 6 and has studied vocal music for 3 years.

While studying in Beijing, Wang Zhenjiang actively participated in performing arts activities on campus, and when he returned to Taiwan, he would sing mainland songs for friends on the island.

He said that the people on both sides of the strait are Chinese, and the contact between heart and heart is the most important thing. Music is a language without boundaries, and singing is the best way to express each other's emotions.

He is willing to use singing to build a bridge to the hearts of folks on both sides of the strait.

　　When the reporter met Wang Zhenjiang at Guangxi University of Finance and Economics recently, he was using the music elective class to teach 80 students the song and dance of Taiwan's ethnic minorities, "We are all a family."

　　"The traditional Zhuang nationality festival is coming on March 3rd. Guangxi will host a series of activities for families from both sides of the strait to celebrate the'March 3rd of the Zhuang Nationality.' I want to use this platform to showcase the culture of Taiwan's ethnic minorities." Wang Zhenjiang said.

　　Wang Zhenjiang said that he is from Hualien County, Taiwan. Hualien has close contacts with Guangxi, and the ethnic minority cultures of the two places are full of charm.

He hopes that in the post-epidemic era, the two places can reopen the exchange gate as soon as possible.

　　"There are many people in Taiwan who lack a deep understanding of the mainland. They are easy to talk about and are easily incited by some caring people. People on both sides of the strait can only understand and communicate with each other only if they have in-depth exchanges. Not only people in Taiwan have to come to the mainland to communicate, I think the mainland People should also visit Taiwan frequently." Wang Zhenjiang said.

　　After receiving his doctorate in the mainland, Wang Zhenjiang taught in mainland universities such as the Haixia College of Minjiang University, the Department of Business of Fuzhou University of Foreign Languages ​​and Trade, and the School of Finance and Economics of Qingdao Huanghai University.

In January 2019, Wang Zhenjiang came to Guangxi University of Finance and Economics to teach.

　　Wang Zhenjiang said that he has adapted to life on the mainland and intends to settle his family in Nanning, Guangxi, and hopes to find his significant other there as he wishes.

　　"In recent years, Guangxi and Taiwan have become closer and closer, and the two places have cooperated more and more. Guangxi and Taiwan have achieved remarkable results in agricultural cooperation, and there is still great potential for cooperation between the two places in the field of agriculture." Wang Zhenjiang said, the recently announced "Agriculture and Forestry 22 Measures" detailed the original preferential policies and measures for Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwan compatriots, and will inject new impetus into agricultural cooperation between Guangxi and Taiwan.

　　Wang Zhenjiang believes that the state's continuous introduction of detailed preferential policies and measures for Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwan compatriots will make it easier for him to use his expertise and achieve his own career in Guangxi.

　　In addition to teaching music at Guangxi University of Finance and Economics, Wang Zhenjiang also teaches food.

He often calls himself a "foodie", and he would personally find Taiwanese food in Yong on weekdays, and invite merchants to make it in class, so that students can experience Taiwanese food culture from a close distance.

Wang Zhenjiang expressed that he hopes that through the food class, students can deepen their understanding of Taiwanese food culture and the business model of Taiwan's chain catering companies, and try to provide more ideas for college students to start their own businesses after graduation.

　　"In the process of making dishes, the discussion and ubiquitous joy of the crafting process are the biggest gains of food exchange activities. "Communication" through our stomachs is the most direct and lively way, and it is also easier to get closer. The distance between each other." Wang Zhenjiang said that through food exchange activities, people on both sides of the strait can more intuitively feel their respective cultural charms. It is also very meaningful for young people in mainland China to understand Taiwan through food culture.
