They have a deep affection for their homeland and have always closely tied the rise and fall of China to their own destiny. In the history of China's creation of a republic and national liberation, there are their ancient Names of generosity, loss of wealth and assistance, returning to China to participate in the war, and shedding their lives; in promoting the economic and social development of their hometown, they have made unremitting efforts to revitalize and cultivate talents, build roads and bridges, practice medicine to help the world, and rush to justice and righteousness. They selflessly and regretfully dedicated their share of light and enthusiasm for the prosperity of their ancestral country, the prosperity of their hometown, and the happiness and happiness of their fathers and fellow countrymen. Entering the new century, overseas Chinese relatives support and participate in the construction of the "Belt and Road", and build a new Silk Road of mutual learning and interconnection among countries along the route.
