When they came to the mainland, they witnessed the rapid development and progress of the motherland, met new friends, condensed new emotions, and felt the enthusiasm and warmth of their compatriots.
They are the "communicators" and "disseminators" of positive energy for the integration and development of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The voices of young people on both sides of the strait, you and I listen together.
China News Network specially launched the "Youth ListeningㆍCross-Strait" integrated media column to jointly record the real voices of young people on both sides of the strait.
Chinanews.com, January 20th (Ma Zhuang and Chen Wentao) What should Taiwanese young people pay attention to when they come to work in the mainland?
What do I need to prepare before coming to the mainland to take root?
Three Taiwanese youths were guests on China News Network's "Young TingㆍCross-Strait" column a few days ago, sharing their experience of studying and working in the mainland for the majority of Taiwanese youths, and giving "tips" to Taiwanese youths who want to come to the mainland to develop.
Don't be misled by Taiwan authorities or Taiwan media's distortions and rumors about the mainland
Zheng Boyu, vice president of the Youth Association of the Beijing Association of Taiwanese Enterprises, has assisted many Taiwanese youths to take root in the mainland. In his opinion, it is important to correct values.
He summed up the six principles of development in the mainland: relying on oneself, being down-to-earth, not speculating, developing together, promoting integration, and embracing the future.
Among them, the most critical is grounding.
According to Zheng Boyu’s observation, many Taiwanese young people who come to the mainland will look at all aspects of the mainland from a Taiwanese perspective. “This is actually building a wall for yourself, which will affect your integration into the local area and communication with the local people. Such barriers are not conducive to developing in the mainland. Landing and development of the mainland."
Zheng Boyu suggested that if you come to the mainland to develop, you should let go of some ideas in Taiwan, and then feel the place where you want to develop with your heart. If you have to walk, you have to go, and if you have to see, you have to go and have a look. Land seeks opportunities from the process of being grounded, integrates into the mainland, and finds a way out.
"If you carry some prejudices and keep accumulating, you will have a lot of negative thoughts."
Zheng Boyu specially reminded, don't believe everything on Taiwan's Internet, including some Taiwanese media's reports on the mainland, this really has a great impact on Taiwan youth's understanding of the mainland.
When talking about what he would like to say to his relatives and friends in Taiwan, Zheng Boyu emphasized again, "Don't be mistaken for some untrue distortions and rumors about the mainland by the Taiwan authorities or Taiwan media, we will let you see, We are really doing well on the mainland.”
Need to do more homework to better take root in the mainland
Taiwanese young people will also face problems arising from cultural differences when they first enter the mainland workplace.
Huang Baixiang, deputy director of the Transformation Office of Everbright Financial Leasing Company, also had some embarrassing incidents due to cultural differences when he first came to mainland China.
Due to his initial unfamiliarity with the usage and expression of mainland Chinese characters, Huang Baixiang's articles were deemed "very Taiwanese" by his mainland colleagues.
Therefore, Huang Baixiang suggested that Taiwan youths who are new to the mainland can learn how to use precise words and expressions by reading the reports of mainland media, for example.
He believes that if Taiwanese youths want to come to the mainland to develop, it is necessary to prepare well, and only through certain preparations can they overcome the problems they encounter.
He often tells his juniors that if they want to come to the mainland for further cultivation, they need to make some preliminary preparations, including relevant mainland news, the development trend of the mainland, and so on.
Huang Baixiang admitted that it is very difficult for many young Taiwanese friends, especially those who have never been to the mainland, to integrate into the mainland all at once.
Based on his own experience, he told the young friends who want to come to the mainland to develop. To take root in the mainland needs to establish a process. First of all, you must set the direction, look at the development trend of the mainland, and do more homework on the field you want to go. This is the only way It will be better to take root.
When you are confused, think about why you wanted to come here in the first place
Many young Taiwanese come to the mainland with dreams in mind, looking forward to seeking more opportunities.
Talking about the mentality of taking root in the mainland, Chen Guanying, a Taiwan-level doctoral student at the School of Public Administration of Tsinghua University, believes that "the most important thing is not to forget the original intention."
Chen Guanying said that there are many young people around me who are studying in the mainland, because they are confused and do not continue to stay in the mainland for development.
Many people are deceived by the so-called "getting rich overnight" on the Internet, imagining that they can achieve "getting rich overnight" when they come to the mainland.
Chen Guanying analyzed that there are many opportunities for Taiwan youths in the mainland, and there are not many choices for those in their twenties. If you want to come to the mainland to develop, you must think clearly and stick to it without forgetting your original intention.
"Especially when everyone is confused, I have to think about why I wanted to come here in the first place, and stop thinking about things after I come here." (End)
