"The mainland is beautiful. Hopefully, after the quarantine time is shortened, you can come and play with us. On the occasion of the Year of the Tiger, Huang Jieni and Li Shixiang, members of the electronic music group "XN Aixen Orchestra" from Taiwan, took a video to "Cloud New Year" to relatives and friends in their hometown. The young couple has already spent their second Spring Festival on the mainland, accompanied by three cats brought from Taipei. From making their home in Shanghai in the fall of 2020 to setting up a company in Shanghai in the summer of 2021, they have shifted the focus of their lives and careers to the mainland.

In the mainland New Year, very good. The culture on both sides of the strait has the same roots, no matter where you choose to celebrate the New Year, the taste of the New Year will not be lost, and the taste of home is still strong. Huang Jieni told Nandu reporters in an interview that this year's Spring Festival, she and her husband plan to eat hot pot at home Chinese New Year's Eve night, "there are only two of us, Chinese New Year's Eve rice is quite simple, should be able to cook some fish and shrimp, as well as rice cakes." In fact, the customs on both sides of the strait are similar, when I was in Taipei, my family would go to the temple on the first day of the New Year to 'worship', and this year we also plan to go to the temple in Shanghai to 'worship'. No matter how far you go, "Nian" is always the deepest bond in Chinese's heart. The experience of the development of this pair of electronic and audio combinations from Taiwan to the mainland shows that choosing Taiwan or choosing the mainland will not break the roots of culture and the habits of life will not change.

Starting a business in the mainland is very good. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, earth-shaking changes have taken place on the mainland, the market economy has flourished, and the market has gradually played a decisive role in the allocation of resources. The mainland has a big market, and the characteristics of the big market are pluralism and tolerance, the mainstream can find fertile soil, and the niche can also find space. Huang Jieni and Li Shixiang are doing electronic music, and the past few years have been the rapid expansion of clubs and electronic music festivals into public life, and choosing to open a company in the mainland is undoubtedly a correct decision made in line with the law of market development. In their own words, in addition to choosing the mainland, the "market is big", but also because the music atmosphere of the mainland has gradually surpassed Taiwan. "Taiwan's music seems to be stuck in the 80s and 90s of the last century, and there are many rising stars here [in the mainland]. In fact, the 'Douyin Divine Comedy' is also very popular in Taiwan. We have been following the development of mainland music for a long time. ”

In fact, during the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, through the media perspective, more stories of Taiwan compatriots on the mainland for the New Year were discovered, and each story was a process in which Taiwan compatriots more closely linked the realization of their ideals in life and the promotion of cross-strait exchanges through their development on the mainland. Lu Rongzhi, a famous curator and over of 70 years old; currently a steering committee member of the "National Palace Museum in Taipei" and an adjunct professor at the Institute of Art History of National Taiwan University, 85-year-old Mr. Fu Shen, a famous taiwanese artist couple in Hangzhou for the New Year, they settled in the place where Mr. Huang Gongwang painted, wanting to become a new Fuyang people and build a cultural and creative base for young people on both sides of the strait. After graduating from his undergraduate degree in 2011, Chen Wencheng, who had never left his hometown in Changhua, Taiwan, came to the mainland alone, studied for a master's degree and a doctorate degree at Beijing Sport University and Peking University, met his wife during his studies, and then stayed in Beijing to work and live, and formed a cross-strait family...

Compatriots on both sides of the strait have already written more wonderful stories unconsciously, and through the Internet, these stories will inevitably spread from this end of the strait to the other side of the strait, and these stories will once again remind the cultural identity of the two sides of the strait as Chinese. Spring and autumn come and go, people come and go, the "year" has always been the unchangeable emotional bond between the two sides of the strait, and the new year has arrived, and I say to the other side of the strait: Happy New Year, welcome to the mainland.
