Previously, Ma Ying-jeou had led Taiwanese youths to the hinterland of the mainland to embark on a root-seeking visit and exchange trip from Guangdong to Beijing. Ma Ying-jeou's visit has attracted attention from all sides, especially at a time when relations between the mainland and Taiwan are tense in the wake of the ship collision.
However, Ma Ying-jeou does not seem to be overly concerned about these matters, he just takes Taiwan's young people to quietly contact the source of Chinese civilization, and leads everyone to find the answer to "who am I".
After that, Ma Ying-jeou and his entourage came to Huangling County, Shaanxi Province to participate in the ceremony of public sacrifice to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. Under the camera, Ma Ying-jeou and Taiwanese youths were very excited, listening to the heavy bells and the distant sound of sacrifices, everyone seemed to have a greater sense of belonging to Chinese civilization.
At that time, Ma Ying-jeou said excitedly: Most of the people in Taiwan have a firm belief in Chinese culture and national identity, and Taiwanese young people should keep in mind the roots of Chinese culture and the Chinese nation, as well as the pride of being the descendants of Yan and Huang.
Of course, in addition to Ma Ying-jeou's excited performance, those Taiwanese young people who participated in this operation were also extremely excited.
For example, Lin Peizhen of Taiwan's Ocean University said that she was very shocked, she said: As a member of the Chinese nation, I feel very honored.
Later, Ma Ying-jeou also took everyone to visit the Palace Museum, and he said meaningfully: I encourage Taiwanese young people to have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture, and I also believe that any de-sinicization will not succeed.
Ma Ying-jeou is right, just as Wan Zhihan, a student at Taiwan's China Medical University, said excitedly in front of the camera: This visit is impressive, and I have learned about the situation of Taiwanese students studying in the mainland, and I will include studying in the mainland as an option for my future.
Of course, we also officially extend a warm welcome to the arrival of Ma Ying-jeou and these young people from Taiwan, and we have always encouraged young people on both sides of the strait to help each other and cooperate more, and to work with young people on the mainland to contribute more strength to the Chinese nation standing among the nations of the world.
As for our attitude, many young people in Taiwan also agree with it.
For example, Su Weien, a student from Taiwan, made it clear that he felt the rapid development of the mainland and that he would come to Beijing for development in the future, and he also said excitedly: "I believe that this era is the era of the Chinese dream." ”
There is no doubt that the visit between Ma Ying-jeou and Taiwanese youths has greatly eased the already tense cross-strait relations, especially the proud speeches of these young people in front of the camera, and we seem to see the possibility of resolving the Taiwan issue.
Interestingly, compared to the warmth and welcome on the mainland's side, Taiwan's side is a bit more complicated.
First of all, on the Kuomintang side, after Ma Ying-jeou returned to Taiwan, the executive director of the Ma Ying-jeou Foundation said that the Chinese Kuomintang did not fully support Ma Ying-jeou's visit to the mainland, and he also proposed that it was necessary for the Kuomintang to face up to its position and role.
As soon as the remarks came out, the Kuomintang immediately issued a notice to explain, especially Zhu Lilun was very excited.
According to reports, he seemed to have been silent about Ma Ying-jeou's visit to Taiwan, but then he said that the Kuomintang firmly supported Ma Ying-jeou's visit to the mainland before and after, and also said that he had a long talk with Ma Ying-jeou after he returned to Taiwan, expressing his affirmation of Ma Ying-jeou's visit.
It has to be said that Ma Ying-jeou's return to Taiwan has indeed caused great changes, and even the attitude of the Kuomintang and other important members has also undergone a great reversal.
Of course, Ma Ying-jeou's return to Taiwan has not only aroused the attention of the Kuomintang, but also aroused the general repercussions of the Taiwanese people.
Previously, because of the ship collision incident, the Taiwan independence side once wanted to "flex its muscles" with the mainland, which made the Taiwan people very afraid, but now Ma Ying-jeou's visit has greatly eased the tension between the two sides and suddenly reminded people of the Ma Ying-jeou era.
Looking back at history, we can see that the cross-strait relations were very close during the period of Ma Ying-jeou's administration, and Ma Ying-jeou recognized the 92 consensus and always recognized the one-China principle. Later, he promoted the policy of three links and normalized cross-strait economic and trade relations.
In addition, he acknowledged the contribution of the Communist Party in the new era, and launched a visit to the mainland by Taiwanese youth, hoping to promote cooperation and exchanges between the two sides. Against the background of the fierce two-state theory and Taiwan independence, Ma Ying-jeou has always had a clear self-position, that is, a Chinese resolutely opposing Taiwan independence.
All in all, Ma Ying-jeou made outstanding contributions in those years and played a tremendous role in promoting the development of cross-strait relations.
The people recall Ma Ying-jeou's outstanding performance, and in light of the current tense situation, they will naturally miss his administration, so they shout for Ma Ying-jeou to run again for the chairman of the Kuomintang and the leader of the Taiwan region.
Looking at such enthusiastic calls, many mainland people still thought that Ma Ying-jeou was going to make a "comeback". But in fact, Ma Ying-jeou's core aides have spoken: Ma Ying-jeou will not run for party chairman.
After all, everyone hopes for Taiwan's peaceful return and does not want the ship collision incident to continue to brew and allow Taiwan independence to continue to stir up trouble.
However, Ma Ying-jeou is very confident that although with his retirement, his own influence has gradually weakened, and his success in leading Taiwanese youth to visit the mainland will fade, but in fact, Ma Ying-jeou's policy still has an heir, and he no longer needs to go to war with the "body of a veteran".
As the successor and promoter of Ma Ying-jeou's policy, she has always adhered to the one-China principle and has very much recognized and respected the mainland's amazing development achievements.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that she firmly believes that Taiwan has no ability and absolutely cannot engage in armed conflict with the mainland, that military means will only cause irreparable wounds to Taiwan and the Taiwan people, and that only peace is the only way out.
In addition, like Ma Ying-jeou, she is also committed to visiting the mainland, hoping to continue to cooperate to achieve cross-strait peace and ease the contradictions between the two sides.
According to a report by "China Taiwan Network": On the occasion of Ma Ying-jeou's visit to the mainland, Hong Xiuzhu also said that he would lead 200 Taiwanese youths to Zhejiang to participate in the Cross-Strait Youth Development Forum in July this year.
Obviously, although the Kuomintang has declined, it has never given up the "one-China principle" and has not put an end to close cross-strait exchanges. It is particularly noteworthy that both Ma Ying-jeou and Hong Xiuzhu have captured a core, that is, Taiwan's youth.
The Taiwan independence forces are naturally very frightened and angry about the actions of Ma Ying-jeou and Hong Xiuzhu, and they are also constantly brewing sabotage activities, but we believe that the general trend is unstoppable and the people's will cannot be bullied.
As mentioned above, the young people led by Ma Ying-jeou visited the mainland, and we have seen the vigor and vigor of Taiwan's young people from one shot after another, and they may ignore the "roots" of the mainland because they are young.
However, under the leadership of Ma Ying-jeou and others, they have come into contact with the foundation of Chinese civilization, and they will naturally glow with the genetic imprint flowing in their bones, and unconsciously move closer to the origin of Chinese civilization.
In addition, the deliberate academic promotion at the cross-strait youth exchange meeting has further strengthened the young people's yearning for the mainland.
For example, Yang Chen, a doctoral student at Peking University, once said that he had participated in the Taiwan exchange group of teachers and students of mainland universities, and in Taiwan, he met his old friends again, and he was very surprised.
He also said: "The spiritual bond between young people is an important foundation for the two sides of the strait to jointly create a better future. We will certainly work together to build a new generation of bridges connecting the two sides of the strait. ”
It is said that young people are the hope of the future, just like Chairman Mao's words back then: "You young people are full of vitality, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock." The world is yours, and China's future will be in your hands. ”
Along with the journey of young people seeking their roots and the close ties between young people on both sides of the strait, we believe that even if we cannot solve the DPP's Taiwan independence issue in this generation, the new young people will certainly be able to solve it.
