　　Looking at it from the perspective of my office, the one below is the Wutong Wharf. Before that, the "small three links" started from here, from Xiamen to Jinmen.

　　[Explanation] The "mini-three links", which can transport millions of passengers a year, have added a lot of convenience to Taiwanese businessmen and compatriots traveling between the two sides of the strait.

After graduating from undergraduate course in 2002, Cai Bikai came to Xiamen University to continue his studies and work through the "mini-three links".

Cai Bikai said that in the past, it only cost about 1,500 yuan to go back and forth between the mainland and Taiwan via the "miniature three links". If you take a direct flight, the price will be several times higher.

　　I recently checked and found out that the current fare, if we fly direct, would cost more than 6,000 RMB per person. According to our family of five, if there is a one-way flight, it would be nearly 6,000 yuan from Xiamen (direct flight) to Taipei. Thirty thousand yuan (RMB).

　　(Hokkien) Hello, grandpa.

Yes, I have eaten. How are you doing recently?

　　[Explanation] Chatting with his 96-year-old grandfather in Taiwan through video calls is the daily life of Taiwanese youth Wu Bingzhang.

In 2018, Wu Bingzhang chose to come to Xiamen from Tainan, Taiwan to start a business. In addition to being optimistic about the development prospects of the mainland, he believes that there is another very important factor is the golden channel of "miniature three links".

　　[Explanation] In the six years since he came to the mainland to start a business, Wu Bingzhang and his small partners have used the new media platform to help the mainland's rural areas dig out culture and realize rural revitalization, and have made small achievements.

　　Well, I actually have a lot of Taiwanese friends around me, and because of this reason (the suspension of the "mini-three links"), basically everyone didn't go back for a year or two, and even dared not go back for the New Year. Many people haven't seen their families for a long time, and even There are also children in Taiwan, and the parents are here, so there is no way to meet the children.

　　[Explanation] "Every festive season misses relatives", not only people in Kinmen and Matsu areas have the need to visit relatives, but other Taiwanese people in the mainland also have the need to return to Taiwan to visit relatives and reunite with their families. They look forward to the early and comprehensive opening of the "mini-three links" ", return to Taiwan safely and conveniently for a good New Year.
