　　The 2024 Government Work Report clearly states that it is necessary to deepen cross-Strait integrated development, enhance the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Strait, and work together to create the great cause of national rejuvenation.

　　In the past year, people-to-people exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have rapidly recovered and continued to be warm, with about 3 million personnel exchanges, and the number of Taiwanese compatriots visiting the mainland increased 7.4 times year-on-year.

　　Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are connected by blood.

Although the Taiwan authorities and external forces interfere in cross-strait exchanges and exchanges, we firmly believe that no one or any force can stop the beautiful future of the reunification of the motherland.

　　Even if we get separated, we will meet again.

Welcome home, shallow strait.
