His (Liu Mingchuan's) achievements in Taiwan have laid down his current historical status, so we remember him now in order not to forget history and remember his exploits.
It is understood that Liu Mingchuan, a native of Hefei, Anhui, was an important general of the Huai Army at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a backbone of the Westernist faction, the first governor of Taiwan, and the founder of promoting Taiwan's modernization. Anhui and Taiwan have deep historical ties, and Liu Mingchuan is a historical celebrity who bridged the bridge between the two places. This worship activity is also the first time since the epidemic that Taiwan compatriots have participated in the worship of Liu Mingchuan.

Liu Mingchuan can be said that during his time as an inspector in Taiwan, he achieved Taiwan's railway, communications and humanities education, so his achievements are in the future. Therefore, our visit not only commemorates Liu Mingchuan, but also enhances the integration of the two sides of the strait (compatriots) in cross-strait exchanges, so that everyone can cherish each other, and then realize the reunification of the motherland at an early date.
According to Liu Xuexuan, the number of compatriots who came from Taiwan to participate in the worship activities this time was the largest in the past ten years, with a total of 32 Taiwan compatriots. At the same time, it is also the largest worship event since the epidemic.

Mr. Liu Mingchuan is of great significance to the Chinese nation. (Let's) our Taiwan become (modern) modern. This kind of merit is incredible, and many people in Taiwan today are actually very patriotic and very willing to return, which is very related to the foundation laid by Mr. Liu Mingchuan back then. What we want to do now (is) to return to China at an early date under the influence of Zhuang Sugong (Liu Mingchuan) and under the leadership of the Party and the state.
