【Commentary】The first stop of the visit, they came to Anyang, Henan, with Yin Wu and oracle bone script as the main line, to explore the rise and fall of the Yin Shang Dynasty 3,000 years ago, as well as the origin of Chinese writing and the development of bronze handicrafts.

This is the first time to see the culture of Henan, as well as the people's life, which is very rich and comfortable. I looked everywhere, it was very advanced, much better than I thought. I hope to go to other provinces (visit) because my father is from Fujian, and I may go to Fujian next time.
Chen Yongmao, whose ancestral home is in Zhejiang, is the deputy head of the delegation and one of the people who have visited the mainland the most during this trip. At the Luoyang Hakka Source Memorial Hall, Chen Yongmao, as a Hakka family, became deeply interested in the saying "where does the guest come from, Luoyang Daguguan".

Seeing this Hakka museum, I was surprised! I have seen Hakka museums in Taiwan before, but they are not so majestic. There are many Hakka people in Taiwan, and this trip to Luoyang to know that all (Hakka) have migrated from here, this historical origin is really good, this museum is very well run.
During the six days of visiting Henan, the members of the delegation greatly appreciated the importance attached to the protection and inheritance of traditional culture in various places.

I have always had the impression that Henan is very ancient, everything is antique, I did not expect that Henan is actually very progressive, there are many places beyond our imagination, is a very special city, all historical classics and now many new buildings, are mixed together, this is a very special city, very distinctive.
【Commentary】After the visit in Henan, they continued to Shaanxi, Shanxi, Beijing and other places, with strong and colorful Chinese cultural elements running through the whole visit, allowing all Taiwanese villagers to experience an unforgettable cultural journey of "finding roots and fulfilling dreams".

Many things mentioned in history textbooks and pictures I saw in many childhood classes were presented to us one by one this time, which was a very shocking thing for us. I believe that when our group of friends return to the United States, they will pass on what they have seen here to our second generation. At the same time, we also hope that our children can be proud to be part of the Chinese nation.
