Our shared history and cultural bonds are the building blocks for a brighter future. 😊
The forum, held in Xiamen in east China's Fujian Province, saw a vibrant mix of voices—with over 7,000 participants from Taiwan—engaging in discussions on national rejuvenation and the importance of historical milestones. In particular, the upcoming 80th anniversaries of major victories remind us of the power of collective memory.
Wang stressed that now is the time for compatriots on both sides of the Straits to seize a historic opportunity. He encouraged especially the youth to embrace their cultural heritage and feel a strong sense of belonging in this fast-paced digital age 🚀, where every generation plays a vital role in shaping our future.
Joining in, former Kuomintang chairman Ma Ying-jeou highlighted deep exchanges and mutual cooperation under the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, reinforcing the shared aspiration for stability, peace, and progress.
