Beijing, 4 Apr (ZXS) -- "Since the beginning of the year, cross-strait youth exchanges have slowly heated up. With the promotion of all parties, it is believed that the warm exchange scenario before the epidemic will soon reappear. Li Weiguo, chairman of the Taiwan Chinese Youth Economic and Trade Exchange Association, recently felt it.
At the time of a telephone interview with a reporter from the China News Agency, Li Weiguo was waiting for a flight at Taiwan's Taoyuan Airport and would enter Zhuhai via Macao. Li Weiguo, who has been rooted in the mainland for seven years and is committed to providing assistance to Taiwanese young people to start businesses in the mainland, returned to Taiwan in early March and intensively visited many Taiwan universities and associations for more than 3 days, inviting young friends to come to the mainland for exchanges.
"I plan to take a Taiwanese youth delegation to Zhuhai through Macao this summer to test the route firsthand. Most of the members are 'first-in-class', and we will provide internship opportunities for interested students. Li Weiguo said that after visiting Taiwan Cheng Kung University, Taipei Commercial University, Asia University, Daye University and many other universities, many young students expressed the idea of going to the mainland to see, but some parents were not at ease, "We plan to make a detailed itinerary plan for their reference." ”
The chairman of Huacan Factory is another identity of Li Weiguo. Founded in 2016, Huacan Factory was originally intended to promote the talent incubation of award-winning designers and the transformation of award-winning works, and has developed into an important platform for innovation, entrepreneurship and exchanges for young people on both sides of the strait.
As the first design competition covering both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong and Macao, since its establishment in 2014, the "Huacan Award" has participated in more than <> universities and institutions across the Straits, Hong Kong and Macao, with tens of thousands of young people and more than <>,<> works, and has achieved many results in promoting the integrated development of cross-strait youth.
The 5th Huacan Award Ceremony will be held in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province in May. In order to promote related matters, Chen Changfeng, one of the cooperative units and chairman of the Taiwan Chinese Outstanding Youth Exchange Promotion Association (hereinafter referred to as the "Jie Youth Association"), has "landed" many times since the beginning of the year. He told the China News Agency that in the past three years, he could only participate in online exchanges, and after the mainland optimized and adjusted the epidemic prevention and control measures, it was convenient to come and go, and I believe that cross-strait youth exchanges will be warmed up again.
The Mainland Visiting Group of Outstanding Young Scholars of Taiwan Colleges and Universities (referred to as the "Jie Youth League") founded by the Central Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee in 2004 has been held for 18 sessions, and Chen Changfeng has participated in 14 sessions, developing from ordinary members to staff, deputy heads and leaders. Most of the young people who participated in the "Jie Youth League" were the leaders of student unions and important clubs in various colleges and universities in Taiwan. Some of them were active in 2008 to establish the "Jieqinghui" to better promote cross-strait exchanges. The association has more than 600 members, from more than <> colleges and universities in Taiwan's northern, central, southern, and eastern regions, and many of them have become elites from all walks of life after leaving the school.
"The 'Jie Youth League' activities suspended due to the epidemic will also resume soon, and relevant preparations are currently being made." Chen Changfeng said.
Having been engaged in cross-strait youth exchanges for many years, Chen Changfeng has always believed that young people are the hope of the future of the two sides of the strait, and that more exchanges and interactions can promote understanding, become true friends, and play a positive role in promoting cross-strait cooperation in the future.
