Taiwan Strait News, October 27 (Straits Herald reporter Lin Xiaoqi, intern Lin Shiyingwen/picture) From the 20th to the 21st, a ceremony was held in Nantou County, Taiwan Li Yuanguang, the corporate chairman of Gongye and Professor Li Zongli of Nankai University of Science and Technology in Taiwan, led a 22-person ancestor visitation group back to Chankeng Village, Xiaoxi Town, Pinghe County to find their roots and pay homage to their ancestors. They were warmly received by the clan members.
It is understood that in 1755, Li Chuang, the 13th generation of the Li family of Houshan, took his two sons Li Yuanguang and Li Yuanqin to Cao Xie Dun in Nantou County, Taiwan to lay the foundation. It has been 264 years since then. Professor Li Zongli is the fourteenth generation descendant of Li Yuanguang. He heard from his ancestors that his ancestral home was in "Chaziling" in Pinghe County, so Li Zongli decided to search for his ancestral home.
So where is "Chazailing" in Pinghe? Li Zongli asked Mr. Zeng Zhenxing, the foreign affairs team leader of Caotun Dunhe Palace in Nantou, Taiwan, to help find him. "Zeng Zhenxing asked me where 'Cha Tsai Ridge' is." Li Yaxin, director of the Pinghe Houshan Palace Management Committee, said that in 2010, when he went to Tainan to participate in the cross-strait genealogy matchmaking conference, a Taiwanese clan member once mentioned that he My hometown is in Pinghe "Cha Tsai Ridge", but I don't know where exactly this place is. A question made him want to check the county annals, genealogy, and visit the elderly as soon as he returned to Pinghe. Finally, he learned that "Chazai Ridge" is located in Chankeng Village, Xiaoxi Town, Pinghe County. "Finally I found my ancestral home." Professor Li Zongli was very happy. On October 20, he led a group of 22 people to visit his ancestral home village for the first time, and successfully completed the journey of finding his roots on the 21st.
