"Being rated as an 'advanced grassroots party organization' by the provincial organs directly under the provincial government is an encouragement and encouragement, and all members of the branch will continue to do a good job in exchanges with Taiwan with heart and soul, and actively promote the integrated development of Hubei and Taiwan." On September 10, Huang Xiwen, secretary of the party branch of the provincial Taiwan Affairs Office Exchange Office, told a hubei daily reporter.
In recent years, the branch has been rated as "Red Flag Party Branch" and "Two Excellent and One First" Advanced Grassroots Party Organization by the Working Committee of organs directly under the Provincial Party Committee, and 8 times have been rated as outstanding Communist Party members, excellent party affairs workers, and "advanced individuals in the fight against the epidemic" by the Provincial Taiwan Affairs Office.
"We deal with Taiwan compatriots every day, coordinate the handling of various demands of Taiwan compatriots, and we must be a good 'mother's family' of Taiwan compatriots." Huang Xiwen said: The branch attaches importance to education and guidance to party members and cadres to always keep firmly in mind their original mission, uphold the concept of "one family on both sides of the strait," always think of what the Taiwan compatriots think and what the Taiwan compatriots are anxious about, and strive to do the work in the hearts of the Taiwan compatriots.
During the epidemic in 2020, 6 party members of the branch fought for more than 50 consecutive days and nights, guiding the Taiwan Affairs Offices of various localities to carry out visits and condolences, distribution of daily life and epidemic prevention materials in various ways, and do a good job in the life and medical protection of every stranded Taiwan compatriot.
At the same time, the members of the branch of the Exchange Office took the initiative and actively responded, and learned from the practices of sister coastal provinces and cities, explored and innovated the "online + offline" model, carried out exchanges with Taiwan, and maintained the exchanges between Hubei and Taiwan without pause and interruption.
On September 3, 2020, the second session of the Chinese Literature and History Teaching and Exchange Activity for Teachers and Students of Etai, planned and guided by the Exchange Office and the Taiwan Affairs Office of Xiangyang City, was carried out simultaneously with the Taipei International Convention Center in the form of video link. Nearly 100 teachers and students on both sides of the strait attended the same class on literature and history to jointly commemorate the national heroes who made sacrifices and contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In April this year, the Exchange Office organized the "Communist Burmese Martyrs Seeking Rejuvenation -- 'General Zhang Zizhong's Anti-War Spirit Award' Cross-Strait Anti-War Cultural and Creative Competition Activity" activities. Up to now, the anti-war culture online courses in this activity have been clicked, browsed, commented and shared by more than 700,000 people. Among them, activities such as "writing a letter to General Zhang Zizhong" and making micro-videos have received more than 800 micro-videos (pieces) from both sides of the strait.
Thanks to the rich cultural resources in the province, the province's exchange work with Taiwan has always been at the forefront of the country. Over the past two years, the Exchange Office has organized and guided the completion of 16 national key projects for exchanges with Taiwan and 7 provincial and municipal exchange projects with Taiwan.
"We should persist in leading party building, give full play to the role of grass-roots party organizations as fighting bastions and the vanguard and exemplary role of the contingent of party members, do a good job in all aspects of work, and build a bridge for cross-strait exchanges and integration." Huang Xiwen said. (Hubei Daily all-media reporter Xu Kuang, trainee reporter Wei Mengye correspondent Wu Yang)
