National Taiwan Affairs Office: The common ethnic and cultural identity of compatriots on both sides of the strait is an inherent gene

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 28 (Reporter Shi Longhong, Chen Shu, Liu Huan) "The root -seeking operation of the majority of Taiwan compatriots shows the most basic fact: the same root of the compatriots on both sides of the strait, the same text of the same text, and the same family. National and cultural identity are inherent genes. They can stand the wind and frost, and no one can change. "Zhu Fenglian, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, answered the reporter at a routine press conference on the 28th.

A reporter asked: Taiwanese girl Lai Lai recently said in social media that with the help of netizens and ancestors, she found the ancestral place in Pinghe County, Zhangzhou, Fujian. This wonderful root -seeking journey has attracted the attention and support of compatriots on both sides of the strait. What are the comments of more and more compatriots in the mainland to find roots in the mainland? Zhu Fenglian responded above.

"Congratulations to Lai Lai to find the root of the family smoothly. After breaking the line of more than 300 years, it was instantly connected. This feeling is indeed very wonderful." Zhu Fenglian said that on behalf of the folks in Xintian Village, Banzi Town, Pingzhou County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian, welcome Lai. When the family and the ancestors in Taiwan were convenient, they returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors. We also thank the netizens and the villagers of Xintian Village for their enthusiastic assistance and reception for Lai Lai, and to achieve a moving story of "a family on both sides of the strait and reunion of the Mid -Autumn Festival".

Zhu Fenglian said that chasing the far away and the Jingzong Mu are the fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Since the long -term isolated state of compatriots on both sides of 1987 was broken, Taiwan compatriots returned to the mainland to find their roots in various ways to find their relatives in various ways. In recent years, many young people in Taiwan are willing to return to the mainland ancestors to find their ancestors.

For example, she said that at the beginning of the year, she sang the song "Let's Sing a Song Together" on the Internet. The creative background was the story of the three brothers and sisters of Taiwanese compatriots from Peking University last summer to return to Putian in Putian, Fujian. Over the years, the Taiwan Affairs Office and relevant departments of the mainland have actively created conditions for Taiwan compatriots to find their roots and find their relatives and provide various assistance. With the help of Internet technology in recent years, Taiwan compatriots have become more convenient and fast to find relatives. For example, the "headlines" cross -strait family -looking projects combined with cross -strait media and public welfare agencies to help Taiwanese compatriots realize their desire to find their relatives. In the past four and a half years, they have witnessed the reunion of 377 families on both sides of the strait. Among them, the oldest veterans are 100 years old and have lost their couples with their hometown for 85 years. One of the fastest cases is that the news was released for only 15 minutes to help families on both sides of the Taiwan Straits seeking success.

"We warmly welcomed the majority of Taiwan compatriots, especially young friends, to go back to their ancestral homeland, take a look, and come to a wonderful root -seeking journey like Lai Lai, understand the family history, and feel the sense of mind and belonging." Zhu Fenglian said Essence
