Fuzhou, July 24 (China News Service) -- In 1949, 11-year-old Jiang Yizi followed his father to Visit Relatives in Taiwan. Unexpectedly, after a week, the two sides of the strait were cut off from contact, and he never returned to Fuzhou.

"Later/ Nostalgia is a short grave / I am outside / Mother is inside..." Jiang Yizi said that when he finally returned to Fuzhou in 1988, things were not human, and his mother's tablet had been offered at Chongfu Temple. I went to Chongfu Temple and cried, and I thought that the chance of us becoming mother and son again might be too few. ”

On July 24, the "Archives of Fujian-Taiwan" project jointly cooperated by the Fujian-Taiwan Institute of History and Culture, the Fujian Provincial Archives, and the Fujian Provincial Radio, Film and Television Group was signed and launched, and the documentary "My Family's Cross-Strait Story" was launched in Fuzhou, Fujian Province.

In Taiwan, Jiang Yizi is a well-known master of Chinese painting, and he often pins his thoughts on his hometown and family in his paintings. "I can't live without this land." Jiang Yizi, now that the leaves have fallen back to the roots, his greatest wish is to promote the traditional Chinese culture.

Jiang Peiqi, a Taiwan compatriot and "March 8th Red Flag Bearer," jokingly called herself "the daughter of a fool." His father, Jiang Qibi, started a business for more than 30 years, and in Gui'an Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou, his ancestral hometown, he turned a muddy mudflat into a hot spring golf course surrounded by green mountains and lush greenery, which became a business card for local leisure tourism.

"Father said that no matter how long the shadow of the tree is, the roots will always be inserted in the soil." Remembering her father, who had passed away, Jiang Peiqi said nostalgically.

On the 24th, the "Archives of Fujian-Taiwan" project jointly cooperated by the Fujian-Taiwan Institute of History and Culture, the Fujian Provincial Archives, and the Fujian Provincial Radio, Film and Television Group was signed and launched, and the documentary "My Family's Cross-Strait Story" was launched.

The documentary "My Family's Cross-Strait Story" solicits a wide range of topics from all walks of life for "My Family's Cross-Strait Story", and will eventually shoot these stories as a character or family in each episode, produce and broadcast them on TV in the form of a quarterly broadcast, and push them on the new media platforms on both sides of the strait, forming an image IP that closely follows the historical origins and tells the love affair between Fujian and Taiwan.

Fujian and Taiwan face each other across the sea, and the two places have the same roots. Fujian is a pilot zone for cross-strait exchanges and cooperation and integrated development. In the "14th Five-Year Plan", Fujian Province clearly pointed out that it is necessary to "build a research institute of history and culture between Fujian and Taiwan, and encourage experts, scholars and students on both sides of the strait to jointly study the history and culture of Fujian and Taiwan."

In this signing of the agreement, the "Archives talk about Fujian and Taiwan" project will make the historical memories of Fujian and Taiwan lying in the "archives" "alive" and "stand up", and collect the characters scattered in Fujian and Taiwan, who have realized the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and interpreted "compatriots on both sides of the strait as one family" with real life and feelings and their touching stories. Chen Qiuping, president of the Fujian-Taiwan Institute of History and Culture, said that the characters and events in the archives will be recounted and flexibly displayed in the most popular form at the moment.

On the same day, the Fujian Provincial Archives donated archival books to the Fujian-Taiwan Historical and Cultural Research Institute, such as "Compilation of Archives of Tibetan-Fujian-Taiwan Relations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties Palace" and "Panorama Records of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (Fujian-Taiwan Volume)", and held the first release of the new book "Selected Archives of the Anti-Japanese Restoration of Taiwan" published by Anhui University Press. The "Magnificent Song of the Straits and the Restoration of Xinjiang" archival photo exhibition co-sponsored by the Fujian Provincial Archives and the Fujian-Taiwan Institute of History and Culture was also exhibited at the Fujian-Taiwan Historical and Cultural Research Institute at the same time.

Chen Qiuping said that the Fujian-Taiwan Institute of History and Culture will continue to work hard to promote the strengthening of research, exchange, display and promotion of the history and culture of Fujian and Taiwan, continue to dig deeply, sort out, develop and use the rich historical and cultural resources of Fujian and Taiwan, arouse the emotional memory of compatriots on both sides of the strait today, boost the spiritual unity between the two sides of the strait, and promote the integration and development of the two sides of the strait.
