Yes! merit! fall! curtain!
On December 10, the 3rd Creative Graffiti Grand Prix of the 2021 Straits Forum held a grand award ceremony in the Cultural and Creative Tourism Block of Xiamen Jimei Dasha, the place of origin of the competition. With the theme of "Integrating the Two Sides of the Strait to Paint a Homeland Together", the competition selected five works to be painted on the wall of Jimei Taisha, adding a colorful scenery to this year's Straits Forum.
Long Mingbiao, deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council; Ma Xiaoguang, director of the Information Bureau of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council; Xie Yingjun, deputy director of the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Information Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department; Ye Xiongbiao, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Fujian Provincial CPC Committee and director of the Information Office of the Fujian Provincial Government; Wu Zidong, member of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen Municipal CPC Committee and director of the Propaganda Department; Pan Xianqiang, editor-in-chief of Fujian Daily; and guests, contestants, and artists from the Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao Work Office of the Fujian Provincial CPC Committee, the Jimei District CPC Committee, the Jimei Street Office, and the cross-strait sides of the strait witnessed the graffiti art coming to fruition on both sides of the strait.

He said:
These works are rich in color and cleverly conceived, and I hope that more young people from Taiwan will be invited to participate in the activities in the future. He also stressed that there are still many people on the island of Taiwan who are willing to communicate with the mainland, and people-to-people exchanges are more likely to resonate with the common people.

Ma Xiaoguang, director of the Information Bureau of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said:
This is his third time participating in the Graffiti Grand Prix, and it feels like the atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger every year, and the paintings are getting more and more exquisite every year. Such a creative and artistic way of communication that can attract compatriots on both sides of the strait is very good. In one stroke and one stroke, it embodies the common aspirations of compatriots on both sides of the strait looking forward to exchanges and cooperation and looking forward to integrated development.
Pan Xianqiang, editor-in-chief of Fujian Daily, pointed out in his speech:
Due to the impact of the epidemic, it now takes more time and cost to travel between the two sides of the strait. But this did not affect the enthusiasm of Taiwanese players to participate in this competition. Mr. Wang Mingzong, the winner of the last graffiti contest, put his work "A Day Trip to the Straits" on the wall of the Golden Gate. This is the charm of graffiti culture, no matter where we are, as long as the hearts are connected, we can paint our homes anytime, anywhere!
Pan Xianqiang said that as the organizer, he also hopes to enhance the knowledge and understanding of traditional Chinese culture among young people on both sides of the strait through graffiti, which is widely popular among young people. It is hoped that they will be able to enhance interaction and exchanges through new media platforms not only during the competition, but also after the competition, so as to make cross-strait exchanges more vibrant.
The 3rd Creative Graffiti Grand Prix of the 2021 Straits Forum is guided by the Organizing Committee of the Straits Forum, hosted by Fujian Daily, hosted by the Straits Herald and Jimei Subdistrict Office, and co-organized by the Jimei Cross-Strait Integration Development Center. Since May this year, the competition has begun to collect manuscripts from major universities and social organizations on both sides of the strait, and nearly 100 original design drafts have been received. A joint jury composed of experts and scholars from both sides of the strait selected five works to be shortlisted for the offline competition.
The award ceremony was held on December 10

Executive Vice President of Xiamen Taiwan Merchants Association:
The integration and exchange of young people on both sides of the strait also reminds me that when we were young, we were also very enthusiastic about art. Although the cultural backgrounds of young people on both sides of the strait are different, art itself has no boundaries. After all, many Taiwanese people have come from southern Fujian, and they are becoming more and more integrated. Therefore, I also hope that young people on both sides of the strait will not only compete here, but also have more opportunities to go to other places in Xiamen to do creation in the future. The city of Xiamen, whether from the perspective of atmosphere or policy, is very suitable for Taiwanese youth to intern, find employment or start a business, and the Xiamen Association of Taiwan Investment Enterprises is also happy to support the exchange and integration of young people on both sides of the strait.

Members of this year's jury and young cultural and creative designers from Taiwan:
Compared with previous works, I think the degree of completion of the shortlisted works this time is very high after they are on the wall. The contestants have also begun to use some composite materials for presentation, and it can be said that the Creative Graffiti Grand Prix is really getting better and better. In the process of going up the wall, the team not only competes with each other, but also encourages and motivates each other, and even allows the children in the local area of the Taisha to participate together. Graffiti is a kind of performance art, and it can be integrated into life and into the community, which is very positive energy. No matter what form of cross-strait exchange has its own characteristics, compared to the graffiti grand prix, I see unlimited changes and possibilities. Graffiti can break through many frameworks and better express the personality of young people, and the communication between them is also a cultural display.
Creative Market:
See graffiti and visit the market
Cultural entrepreneurs from both sides of the strait gathered at Dasha
In the process of the third graffiti grand prix held in jimei Taisha, in addition to completing the wall work, the contestants on both sides of the strait also created many graffiti T-shirts. At today's awards ceremony, young dancers wore these graffiti T-shirts for a "flash mob" performance. The scene also attracted many entrepreneurs in the local language and Young People from Taiwan to set up booths and participate in the grand event.
The cultural and creative market on that day included a variety of cultural and creative goods such as traditional incense, original jewelry, and Fujian-Taiwan handicrafts. Huang Kaijia, a young man from Taiwan and the founder of "Yunlaiji Cultural Tourism", said that he hopes to let more people understand Xiangdao culture through this platform.
"When I passed by Jimei Taisha at the beginning of this year, I noticed that the graffiti on the walls along the way had many Taiwanese elements, and later I learned that it was originally the work of the Creative Graffiti Grand Prix." Huang Kaijia said: Cross-strait exchanges are originally an empty word, but the Graffiti Grand Prix really puts Taiwan's culture on the ground and "mounts" it on the wall. On the one hand, it is to build a platform for cross-strait cultural exchanges and integration, and on the other hand, it also beautifies the landscape of Jimei Taisha and adds points to the cultural atmosphere of Taisha.
Meng Ting, secretary general of Mencius College in Fujian Province and director of the "Seven Acres of Heartland" space, said that this time they brought their original jewelry to the cultural and creative market. She believes that Jimei Taisha is a space with a strong cultural atmosphere and is very suitable for cross-strait cultural exchanges, so their studio is also located in Taisha. Meng Ting also said that the Graffiti Grand Prix provides a broad platform for cross-strait youth and cross-strait cultural exchanges, which is a very good form, and I believe that in the future, with the continuation of the Graffiti Grand Prix, there will be more and more exchanges between young people on both sides of the strait at the spiritual and cultural level.
Each of the paintings on the wall of this year's Creative Graffiti Grand Prix is full of Fujian-Taiwan elements, from Taiwan Night Market, to Jimei Architecture, from Mazu, "Three Princes of Electronic Music", to FengShiye and "Lucky Boat"... Young people on both sides of the strait use graffiti as a carrier to show their understanding of the integration of Fujian and Taiwan cultures, so that everyone can see their infinite possibilities for interpreting the theme of "integrating the two sides of the strait to paint a homeland together."
"Where the Lights Are Dimmed" hopes that the epidemic on both sides of the strait will disperse
First Prize "The Place where the Lights Go Out"
The first prize of this year's Creative Graffiti Grand Prix was won by the work "Lights Out of the Lights" from "Ji Ge Visual Arts". Li Yandi, one of the representatives of the creative team and a young art teacher in Xiamen, said in an interview with the Herald reporter that she went to school from Hefei, Anhui Province, and after coming here, she was not only attracted by Jiageng culture, but also very fond of Fujian-Taiwan cuisine. Therefore, the left half of "The Place where the Lights Are Dimmed" selects a variety of snacks from the Taipei Night Market as the material, and the right side selects the night view of Jimei Aesthetic Village, which is the former residence of Mr. Chen Jiageng, which is both the place where Zhong Lingyu shows and the sightseeing scenic spot that gathers beauty.
It is understood that the joint jury also pointed out in the final selection that the opening of the night market is one of the indicators of the economic recovery of people's livelihood after the epidemic, and "The Place where the lights are dimmed" makes people see the beautiful scene that the people on both sides of the strait are looking forward to. Li Yandi also said that his deepest impression of Taiwan is the night market, but unfortunately he has never been there, and he hopes that cross-strait exchanges will resume after the epidemic and he can go over and see for himself.
Li Yandi said that he is very pleased to be able to provide new ideas and new breakthroughs for exploring and strengthening cross-strait communication through graffiti. She also explored graffiti art with other taiwanese players from other teams, especially when completing the left half of the Taiwan night market, and received a lot of advice from Taiwanese players. She believes that the Graffiti Grand Prix platform has created opportunities for young people on both sides of the strait to communicate and exchange ideas about each other's cultures. In fact, the two sides of the strait share the same customs, the same way of life, and the same fireworks in the world. It is hoped that their works will build a bridge between the two sides of the strait and contribute to the co-painting of the homeland.
For the other teams that were shortlisted together, Li Yandi said that she personally likes the work "Journey to Find Roots", the image of Mazu is portrayed very carefully, and it can be seen that the main creative staff has spent a lot of thought; "Realizing the Dream of Fujian and The Two Sides of the Strait" is very good as a student work, this graffiti combines Fujian-Taiwan special snacks and The Dasha humanities, which is very innovative and creative, making people feel that the future is fearsome; the compositional perspective of "A Day Trip to the Straits" is ingenious and reflects the vision of cross-strait integration.

Golden Gate Artists Draw "Straits Day Trip"
The news of the third Creative Graffiti Grand Prix held at Jimei Taisha in Xiamen was reported by the Straits Herald new media platform and received attention and encouragement from friends in Taiwan. They left messages and likes below the tweets, and some sent private messages to share graffiti works in Taiwan. The event also attracted a special guest, Wang Mingzong, a Golden Gate pottery master known as the "Wind Lion Master", who saw the work "Straits Day Trip" designed by the team of "Sancaifang Advertising Company" through the Internet, decided to respond to the competition across the sea, and also found a wall in Kinmen to create.
The Huanzhou Pottery Tourism Factory in Sihu Lake, Kinmen, is the site of Wang Mingzong's wall paintings. This is a place dedicated to the production of statues of the Wind Lion, and it was also a frequent attraction for mainland tourists. Beginning on December 3, Wang Mingzong led five apprentices to paint on the factory wall. The beautiful scenery of Xiamen and Jin presented in "A Day Trip to the Straits" jumps on the wall, "Twin Towers", Minnan Ancient House, Jimei Dragon Boat Pond, Kinmen Juguang Building, Wind Lion Ye... Colorful and beautiful.
"In the past, when there was no epidemic, I often went to Xiamen, jimei had dragon boats for the Dragon Boat Festival, we had wind lions in Kinmen, and the two places had common cultural customs." Wang Mingzong said that "A Day Trip to the Straits" covers the cultural elements of Xiamen and Gold, which is very suitable for wall painting. "But because I didn't paint the original, it's slower to paint, and a lot of details have to be processed." In order to more perfectly display this graffiti work, Wang Mingzong led his disciples to pick up the lamp and fight for several nights.
Wang Mingzong recalls his participation in the Creative Graffiti Grand Prix two years ago and the graffiti scene on Dongshan Island in Fujian Province. The five-day creation became an unforgettable experience for him. He and his team members felt some regrets that they could not go to Xiamen this year because of the epidemic. However, they also said that artists from both sides of the strait are enjoying each other across the sea. Wang Mingzong also looks forward to the graffiti of "One-day Tour of the Straits", which can become a new characteristic landscape in the Huanzhou Pottery Tourism Factory, and after the resumption of the "Mini Three Links" in the future, mainland compatriots can come here to "punch in" to visit.
On the afternoon of December 10, the unveiling and signing ceremony of the Cross-Strait Taiwan Youth Live Broadcasting Base was held at the Straits Herald. Taiwanese youths Su Heng and Huang Kaijia signed a contract with the Straits Herald to set up a studio to carry out in-depth and continuous cooperation on video production, new media operation, live broadcast training, public welfare activities, personal IP incubation and other projects. Ma Xiaoguang, director of the Information Bureau of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council; Xie Yingjun, deputy director of the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Information Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department; Ye Xiongbiao, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Fujian Provincial CPC Committee and director of the Information Office of the Fujian Provincial Government; Pan Xianqiang, editor-in-chief of Fujian Daily; and Lin Shixiong, president of the Straits Herald, attended the signing ceremony and jointly inaugurated the Taiwan-Qingdao Live Broadcasting Base on both sides of the strait.
Su Heng, a well-known commentator on current affairs in Taiwan and a young man of the New Party, said in an interview with the Herald that today, when the two sides of the strait are almost "cut off" due to the epidemic, they can only communicate through "clouds." Therefore, the establishment of the Taiwan Youth Live BroadcastIng Base can convey the mainland's goodwill to Taiwan to the people of Taiwan, and also allow more Young People in Taiwan to understand the development and progress of the mainland through this studio, which is completely different from what they know on the island.
Su Heng
"I think now we have the hardware ready, and in the coming day, when the two sides of the strait start normal exchanges, we can use this point to hold more cross-strait youth activities." Through the transmission of videos and personnel exchanges, the people on both sides of the strait will certainly understand each other better. Su Heng said that the current stagnation of cross-strait exchanges due to the epidemic is temporary, and it will certainly return to the same warm network as in the past in the near future. This studio is just a "lever" to pry cross-strait emotions and break down artificial barriers.
Huang Kaijia, who has been very skilled in the use of the mainland live broadcast platform, said that the new media here are developing with each passing day, much more advanced than Taiwan, and the young people in Taiwan who want to come to the mainland to realize their dreams must not only understand the new media, but also understand more about the mainland culture, so as to make the output content more "grounded". Huang Kaijia also stressed that he was very fortunate to have the support of many predecessors, including the media, when he came to the mainland to develop in the early days.
Huang Kaijia also revealed that she is working with the Straits Herald to promote an intangible cultural column "Ajia's 1001 Nights". She experienced the intangible cultural heritage projects on the spot, and then introduced them to the audience through the perspective of Taiwanese youth. "I want to carry forward Chinese culture, tell the story of the two sides of the strait well, and clearly want to do what I want to do under this premise."
It is understood that the Straits Herald has established a strategic partnership with Taiwan Youth through the live broadcast base, publicized and promoted the products to which the partners belong, carried out activities and provided resource support.
