Cultural Integration: Keep Taiwan compatriots with heart and affection
"Exquisite stones can sing", referring to the Hoi An stone carving. In 2021, the Huihe Stone Culture Park in Huli District declared the intangible cultural heritage project "Huihe Shadow Sculpture" and was promoted to the fifth batch of national intangible cultural heritage. This unique intangible cultural heritage skill has made the stones sing the "song of art" and conveyed the unique cultural charm of Huli District to more people.
At the beginning of this year, Huiheshi Cultural Park in Huli District won the title of "Fujian Provincial Exchange Base for Taiwan". Over the years, in cross-strait exchanges, with "intangible cultural heritage and folklore" as the carrier, folk customs intangible cultural heritage experience and traditional cultural theme activities as the highlights, Huihe Stone Culture Park has built a golden bridge of friendship for the people on both sides of the strait, jointly promoted the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and promoted the traditional Chinese culture, jointly assumed the historical responsibility entrusted by the times, and successively won the honorary titles of "Fujian Provincial CPPCC Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Overseas Chinese Exchange Base", "Fujian Provincial Exchange Base for Taiwan", "Taiwan Youth Experiential Exchange Center", etc. It has become a beautiful business card for non-governmental exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Zhang Xiaozhen, director of HuiheShi Cultural Park, told reporters that the park overcame the impact of the epidemic last year and held nearly 10 online large-scale cross-strait exchange activities, with an offline participation audience of 20,000 people, about 3.2 million online contact people, and nearly 20 Taiwanese people participating in the exchange work.

Zhang Xiaozhen said.
Huihe Stone Cultural Park allows more Taiwan compatriots to "understand Huli", and the Xinglong community in Dianqian Street hopes to make more Taiwanese compatriots "fall in love with Huli". Walking into the city's only pilot community for taiwan service, Taiwan compatriot Xiong Qi is handwriting New Year greetings for residents. In recent years, the community has taken the lead in hiring Taiwan compatriot Xiong Qi as the assistant to the community director in the province, and through his introduction of good ideas and good practices of Taiwan community governance, more and more Taiwan compatriots have contributed to the development of the community and the community.

Entrepreneurship and prosperity Taiwan Youth "landing" the first choice
The birthplace of the special zone, Huli, is not only a livable place for Taiwan compatriots, but also a blessed place for Taiwanese youth and Taiwan enterprises to start their own businesses. At present, there are more than 3,000 Taiwan businessmen and more than 700 Taiwanese entrepreneurs in Huli District, who favor Huli, pursue their dreams here, and also witness the rapid development of Huli.
Yilikang (China) Group is a biotechnology enterprise integrating independent research and development, production and sales of probiotics and enzymes. Headquartered in Jinhaiwan Fortune Center, Huli Innovation Park, Xiamen, it has probiotic and enzyme R&D centers in Taiwan and Xiamen and factories engaged in fermentation production and processing of probiotics and enzymes. The company landed in Xiamen in 2008 and settled in Huli Innovation Park in 2013.
Chairman Song Maoqing frankly told reporters that at that time, he learned that Xiamen as a special economic zone had some first-mover practices, the policy was relatively flexible, and it was friendly to Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan compatriots, so he chose Xiamen. "For several years, the government services in Huli District have been 'nanny-style'. The relevant departments will take the initiative to 'send the policy to the door' to guide us how to apply for and enjoy these benefits, and many things can be done online, and the implementation of the policy is faster and more convenient than I thought. ”
The high-quality business environment and the warm home of cross-strait integration are the reasons why the vast number of Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan compatriots choose to love the lake. At the HuiyuanTaiqing Entrepreneurship Base, which was introduced by the Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of Huli District and located in the Cankun Cultural and Creative Park, you can see the warm words "Welcome home" as soon as you enter the door.

Li Yahua, Chairman of Xiamen Huihe Co., Ltd.: Over the years, I have always adhered to the concept of inheritance from my father's generation to the present, paying attention to the interaction between "craftsmen" on both sides of the strait, and regarding it as an important bridge for cross-strait cultural exchanges, integration and communication. I will stick to the non-genetic inheritance position and contribute to the development of the cultural industry in Huli District.
Taichun Wang Guanxin: More than 3 months ago, I came to Xiamen from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to look for development opportunities, and it was the Huiyuan Taiqing Entrepreneurship Base that provided me with guidance and gave me the confidence and confidence to develop in the mainland. In Xiamen Lake, I believe that I can grasp the development opportunities and constantly improve myself.
【Reporter's Note】
The key is the pro-"family" operation on both sides of the strait
"Just like in your own home" - During the interview, whether it is a Taiwan businessmen who have started a business, or a Taiwanese youth who are committed to working hard, or Taiwan compatriots who have settled here, they often use this sentence to describe life in Xiamen Lake.
"Home" is a sense of atmosphere. Huli District is the first urban area in Xiamen to introduce policies to support Taiwan youth entrepreneurship and employment, and since 2016, it has been committed to creating a happy land for taiwanese youth employment and entrepreneurship. Through the continuous implementation of huitai policies at all levels, Huli District has always firmly supported the employment and entrepreneurship internships of Taiwan youth, served Taiwan businessmen with heart and affection, and established a long-term mechanism for Taiwan compatriots to participate in community governance.
"Home" is more of a human touch. "Doing business in the lake is not afraid of not having friends." Under the impetus of the Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao Affairs Office of the Huli District CPC Committee, a number of Taiwan businessmen and Taiwan youth have passed on the scriptures and sent treasures in the circle of Taiwan compatriots, leaving behind the experience of doing business, starting a business, and living in the lake, and gradually forming an atmosphere of "passing on the help and leading" in which "there are people who bring it, and they don't understand that someone asks." Fang Xuming, winner of the title of "civil servant satisfied by the people" and deputy director of the Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao Affairs Office of the Huli District CPC Committee (presiding over the work), is always "anxious about what the Taiwan compatriots are anxious about and thinks about what the Taiwan compatriots think," and is the well-known "big brother Fang" among the Taiwan compatriots.
As a result, every Taiwan businessman, Taiwan compatriot, and Taiwanese youth who recognizes the environment in the lake can feel a sense of belonging like a "family" and is willing to work and live here like "relatives". Perhaps, this is the true portrayal of "one family on both sides of the strait."
