Zheng Chenggong's legacy celebrated on 400th anniversary of his birth

Zheng Dongliang, president of the International Zheng Chenggong Cultural Exchange Association, said that Zheng Chenggong's deeds in recovering and developing Taiwan were a magnificent undertaking.

Zheng Chenggong vigorously promoted political, economic and cultural development during his stay in Taiwan, Zheng Dongliang said.

"These deeds fully confirm that Taiwan is the sacred territory of China," he said. "He is a great hero in realizing the reunification of the motherland and promoting the prosperity of Taiwan."

Hsueh Ying-tung, who is from Taiwan and runs a video production company in Wuhan, Hubei province, said Zheng Chenggong was "a great defender of national interests in our history".

"As a young person from Taiwan, I came to the mainland to start a business," he said.
