Xinhua News Agency, Taipei, September 29 (Reporters Fu Shuangqi and Wu Jihai) "My Cross-Strait Story - Historical Memory of Moving Taiwan Taoyuan Tour" opened on the 29th at the Military Military Village Cultural and Creative Park of Mazu New Village in Taoyuan. Yellowed letters, old black and white photos, land deeds, medals and old cheongsams and other exhibits lead visitors through the ups and downs of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. The

exhibition is themed "Historical Memory Library for Moving Taiwan" and consists of six parts, including "Trails of Moving Taiwan", "My Heirlooms", and "Character Documentary Movies". Through oral and video recordings of the characters and their descendants of the Taiwan, supplemented by the cultural relics of the times, family photos and documents provided by the interviewees, the life stories of 120 people who have moved Taiwan are displayed with the help of a total of 240 cultural relics.

87-year-old Gao Binghan donated a photo taken with his mother before he separated from his hometown in Shandong in 1948, as well as the clothes his mother had worn and the half-body statue of his parents he asked to make after he arrived in Taiwan. In 1948, he and his mother parted and came to Taiwan, and never met again.

"Among the veterans who moved to Taiwan, I am one of the youngest, and there are fewer and fewer and fewer living veterans. This exhibition is so precious that it has saved so many people's life stories." Gao Binghan said, "The five thousand years of history of the Chinese nation is integrated by a small story of the descendants of Yan and Huang. "

" The significance of this exhibition is to remind us not to forget our roots, not to forget our history and our roots, and secondly, not to forget the family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait." He said.

Since the Taiwan Shen Chunchi Cultural and Education Foundation launched the "Historical Memory Library for Moving Taiwan", it has visited nearly a thousand witnesses of the history of moving to Taiwan from both sides of the Taiwan Strait over the years, and collected and sorted out many texts, audio-visual oral accounts, historical materials and other contents, hoping to outline the context of the history of moving to Taiwan through the real situation of "little people" in a specific era.

Hu Minyue, a descendant of a Kuomintang soldier who came to Taiwan, also donated medals and old photos and other cultural relics and historical materials to this plan. Last year, he fulfilled his ancestors' wishes, returned to his hometown in mainland China and met with relatives and friends on the other side of the shore. "Only by keeping this history, we can continue to tell this story to our descendants. To be strong, a nation must have an identity with its ancestors, know where it comes from and where it should go, so that it can have self-confidence." The

exhibition will last until October 18 and will also be an important part of the Taoyuan Military Village Cultural Festival for the 20th anniversary of this year.
