　　"I hope cross-strait exchanges can be as convenient as before, so that our way home can be smoother." On the 29th, in the departure hall of Xiamen Wutong Passenger Terminal, I took a flight from Xiamen (door) Jin (door) to Jinmen before the Spring Festival. Ms. Lu Pei, who returned home for the New Year, is waiting for the boat to return to Kinmen, "This is the voice of those of us who married into Kinmen."

　　In 2013, Ms. Li married Kinmen from Fujian Shishi.

Before the new crown epidemic, she returned to her hometown from Kinmen every year for the New Year, "and, she can come back anytime."

　　Since February 2020, the cross-strait "miniature three links" passenger routes have been suspended.

Under the continuous and strong calls from all walks of life in Taiwan, on January 7 this year, the cross-strait "miniature three links" passenger routes were partially resumed.

In an interview with a reporter from China News Agency, Ms. Li expressed the hope that the cross-strait "miniature three links" passenger transport route can continue to operate.

　　After the Lantern Festival, the cross-strait "miniature three links" passenger route may be "suspended". Mr. Hong, who is waiting for the boat, said that he looks forward to continuing to open, because it can greatly meet their needs for cross-strait travel.

　　"I don't want to go back and forth between Jinxia and Jinxia after a long detour." Mr. Hong said that he sincerely hopes that the "miniature three links" on both sides of the strait will be fully resumed, so that they can "come at 8 o'clock in the morning" as before. , go home at 6:30 in the evening."

　　Lu Lili, who led a small entrepreneurial team from Kinmen to Xiamen five years ago, is now the president of Xiamen Jinbang Branch of China Minsheng Bank.

Benefiting from the convenience brought by the "miniature three links" between the two sides of the strait, she used to go home every other day.

She told reporters that she would once again appeal to her friends in Taiwan to allow the "miniature three links" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to fully resume operations as soon as possible.

　　Han Yinghuan, chairman of the Xiamen Association of Taiwanese Investment Enterprises and chairman of Xiamen East Asia Machinery Industry Co., Ltd., who has not returned to Taiwan for more than three years, is still blocked from going home on the cross-strait "miniature three links" route this year.

He said that his New Year's expectation is to fully resume the cross-strait "miniature three links" and promote greater cross-strait exchanges.

　　At present, all parties in the mainland have already gone all out to make preparations for the full resumption of cross-strait "miniature three links" passenger routes.

According to the Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of Fujian Province, from the resumption of flights on January 7 to January 29, the Xiamen-Jinjiang route operated 46 voyages with a passenger flow of 3,003.

　　On the same day, Song Tao, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, came to the departure hall of Xiamen Wutong Passenger Terminal to visit the Taiwan compatriots who were waiting for the boat to return to Kinmen, and wished them a New Year.

　　After shaking hands with a young man from Kinmen who was waiting for the boat, Song Tao asked him, is it convenient to go home?

The guy from Kinmen replied that there are few flights now, and it would be more convenient if we could go back to the past and have one every half an hour.

　　Song Tao said, "Family, come and go frequently, so that we can get closer together."

We want to fully restore the "miniature three links" and normal exchanges between the two sides of the strait, which conforms to the will of the people on both sides of the strait.

　　In this regard, Kinmen County Mayor Chen Fuhai said that he would work together. He said that Kinmen and Xiamen are one family.

Chen Yuzhen, the public opinion representative of Kinmen beside her, also pointed to the ten big characters on the background wall screen of the departure hall and said, "One family on both sides of the strait is a family, and we can realize our dreams together."
