"I am Xiangtan and I came back to Hunan, I am very happy to meet with my classmates in Hunan, can you understand my Hunan dialect?" Ma Yingjeou's rural voice asked, and the full audience of Hunan University students responded in unison: "I understand!" ”
On April 4, Ma Yingjeou, who returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, led 2 Taiwanese students to Hunan University for exchange discussions. "I know that at Hunan, there are about a quarter of my classmates from Hunan." When answering a question from Li Ziyi, a student at Hunan, Ma Yingjeou happily also said in Hunan dialect, "I have spoken Changsha dialect since I was a child, do you think my Hunan dialect is okay?" The students at Lake University expressed their affirmation: "Yes, yes!" ”
Ma Yingjeou quoted the allusion of "the widow is to the country" in "Mencius Liang Hui Wang Shang", "the number of pops cannot enter the pond, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten", telling the students the enlightening significance of the concept of ecological protection in traditional Chinese culture to modern society, and encouraging students on both sides of the strait to jointly carry forward and inherit the excellent traditional Chinese culture and enhance exchanges, hoping to "make the exchange between students from Hu University and Taiwanese students become commonplace".
During the discussion, Taiwan students were most concerned about the environment and policies for studying entrepreneurship in the mainland, as well as the teaching system of mainland universities. Taiwanese student Zheng Yaling shared her experience of studying at Huda, how to integrate into the mainland, make friends, and appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Before the discussion began, Li Ziyi visited Yuelu Academy with Taiwanese teachers and students. In an interview with reporters, she said that in the discussions with her Taiwan classmates, she truly felt that the two sides of the strait are connected by culture and blood. "I believe that today's exchange is a bridge of hope, a seed of the future. It is hoped that students on both sides of the strait can walk side by side and use the power of youth to create a better future. ”
"I see the beautiful qualities shared by young people on both sides of the strait: self-confidence, calmness, and willingness to see the unknown and challenges." Wang Hongyi, a doctoral student at Hu University, said, "Both sides of the strait are one family, and I sincerely hope that more young Taiwanese friends can come to the mainland to work, live, study and realize themselves, and I hope to have more opportunities to exchange and cooperate with them." ”
Hunan University originated from the Yuelu Academy founded in 976 AD, cultivating and educating a large number of talents who have benefited the people through the world, and profoundly influenced the course of modern Chinese history.
Speaking about the relationship between Hulu University and Taiwan, Duan Xianzhong, president of Hunan University, said in his speech that in 1885, Zuo Zongtang, a student of Yuelu College, asked the Fujian Governor to station in Taiwan and promote the transformation of Taiwan as a province; In 1695, Li Zhongsu, the head of Yuelu Academy, was appointed as Zhi County, one of the three counties of Taiwan at that time; In 1941, Professor Zhou Yintang of Huda University wrote the book "Taiwan County Construction Record", which explained the historical longitude and latitude of Taiwan belonging to China since ancient times, "pointing out right and wrong, so that there is no confusion"; Zeng Yonong, the first president of Tunghai University in Taiwan, Du Yuanzai, former president of Taiwan Normal University, and You Mijian, former mayor of Taipei City, all studied or taught at Lake University; Ma Ying-jeou's grandfather, Qin Zhuoan, studied in the second class of engineering and chemical engineering at Hu University from 1916 to 1920.
According to reports, in recent years, Hunan University has had extensive exchanges with all walks of life in Taiwan, cooperated with Taiwan universities to hold the "Huxiang Cultural Tradition and Modern Humanistic Spirit Academic Seminar" and "China Academy Academic Seminar Week", cooperated in carrying out "Confucian Civilization and Chinese Academy" theme research, etc., and also sent students to Taiwan for exchange and study.
"Young people are a vigorous force in cross-strait exchanges." Duan Xianzhong said that Mr. Ma led Taiwanese youth to come to exchanges, which can enhance the spiritual harmony of young students on both sides of the strait. Hunan University will provide more platforms for young students on both sides of the strait to learn from each other and promote young students on both sides of the strait to work hand in hand. (End)
