The 2021 Cross-Strait Dachen Xiangxiang Cultural Festival with the theme of "Connecting by Blood and Connecting the Two Sides of the Strait" was recently held in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, and more than 100 Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan affiliates gathered in Jiaojiang District, Taizhou City, to participate in the opening ceremony, theme party, visit the cross-strait exchange base on Dachen Island, and inspect key construction projects in Jiaojiang District. Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, although the Dachen villagers in Taiwan could not come to the scene in person, they specially recorded a video on the other side of the strait, and conveyed a strong nostalgia in the authentic local tone.

Dachen Island is the homesickness island of Dachen Tai compatriots, the island of thinking of relatives of Dachen and the island of return to promote the peaceful reunification of the motherland. In the 1950s, about 15,000 Residents of Dachen Island moved across Taiwan, growing to nearly 150,000 today. Since 2015, the Cross-Strait Dachen Nostalgia Cultural Festival has been held continuously, providing a good platform for The Compatriots of Dachen on both sides of the Strait and Taiwan compatriots from all walks of life to review history, recount family affection, and taste culture, and has played a positive role in expanding cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, deepening cross-strait integration and development, and promoting the spiritual harmony of compatriots on both sides of the Strait, and has become a brand project for grass-roots exchanges with Taiwan in Taizhou City. In November 2020, the awarding ceremony of the national "Cross-Strait Exchange Base" was successfully held on Dachen Island.
