Yu Peishan revealed to reporters that no matter how many generations of ancestors have been in Taiwan, there are still very many Taiwan compatriots who will return to the mainland to seek their roots and pay homage to their ancestors. She said that although she was born in Taiwan, she felt the existence and beauty of Chinese culture when she first set foot on the land of the historical capital, especially Xi'an (ancient Chang'an), with the influence of her parents and the background of studying history.
"As long as civilization does not die and mankind does not perish, cross-strait cultural exchanges in the form of writing, books, movies, and even digitization are unstoppable." Yu Pui Shan pointed out that meeting friends with books is a good form of communication. Cross-strait exchanges are inevitable, but what are the exchanges at this stage? How to communicate and other issues remain to be considered.
