The performance of waving flag-tied bamboo poles originated in Fujian, where the roots of most Taiwanese lie.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Forum is focused on folk culture and future development.<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\"> In addition to youth exchanges, the Forum has been valuing cultural and economic exchanges by holding events about agriculture, folk culture, and religions for the past 13 years. It also has been trying hard to meet the needs of the Taiwanese for development opportunities.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The dancing program<br \/>\n  <i>Tea Fragrance<\/i> poetically shows the beauty of the Cherry Blossom Tea Garden in Yongfu Town. As the hub of the National Taiwan Farmers Pioneer Park, Yongfu Town is where most Taiwanese farmers invest, and the mainland\u2019s largest producer of Ruan Zhi Oolong Tea. Drinking tea brings together people from both sides of the Straits, and a growing number of Taiwanese farmers are now choosing to work in Yongfu Town.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Forum is full of affectionate stories and best wishes. <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">There will be a nostalgia program called \u201c35 Years of Affectionate Stories\u201d. In the program, stories about people who have helped promote cross-Straits exchanges will be shared. Many young people from Taiwan have been inspired to engage themselves in the rural revitalization drive of the mainland. Li Peizhen, a Taiwanese folk culture artist restores North-Song houses and runs a folk culture museum in Qingqiao Village, Haicang District, Xiamen.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Lin Shuren, a young man from Taipei, each year helps 5000 Yi people in Sichuan grow olives.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><b><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Forum witnesses frankness as well as perseverance. <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\">Taiwanese man Yang Mingzhong once promised to cycle together with orphans to the mainland to see the Yellow River. He wanted to prove to the orphans that the Yellow River is not yellow. He has been cycling so for 10 years.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Over the past decade, he has cycled 12,000km through 50 cities . Along the way, he has helped 920 young people of both Taiwan and the mainland.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Like many Taiwanese attendees here, Yang Minzhong greatly values the friendship between the youth of both sides of the Straits.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/china\/2022\/07\/18\/150124\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XIAMEN, CHINA &#8211; Media OutReach &#8211; 18 July 2022 &#8211; On July 13, 2022, the 14th Straits Forum was held in Xiamen, Fujian. \u201cDrinking the same bottle of wine, people from both sides of the Straits belong to the same root.\u201d That was said by Yang Cheng-wu, Magistrate of Kinmen County when he addressed the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23290,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23289"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
