Forging bonds across the straits

For Taiwan students, life on the mainland not only offers them opportunities, but also helps them develop a deeper sense of identity. Xing Wen reports.

Ready to share its own development opportunities with compatriots from Taiwan, the Chinese mainland has been attracting young people from Taiwan to come to study, work or launch a startup in cities far away from their hometowns.

Yang Chia-yun, a postgraduate at Renmin University of China, says studying in the university was a dream she has had since she joined a two-week summer school program there in 2014.
