Young people carry torch of reunification

I am a patriotic Taiwan youth whose ancestral home is in Putian, Fujian province. My grandfather, Lin Wen-fang, born in 1926, was stranded in Taiwan for decades but never forgot his roots. After cross-Strait relations thawed in the late 1980s, he returned to Putian and brought back half a family genealogy, reminding us to "never forget our roots". In 2021, my brother and I reunited with our relatives in Putian after just a single day's search.

Studying on the mainland, I've participated in cross-Strait exchange activities in Beijing, as well as Fujian, Liaoning and Jilin provinces.

Just as the Taiwan compatriots who fought Japanese aggression believed "to save Taiwan, we must first save the motherland", today's youth recognize that as the nation grows stronger, the Taiwan question will naturally be resolved.

More Taiwan compatriots take pride in being Chinese. I believe complete reunification is within reach.
