The cross-strait high school Chinese textbooks co-edited by Fujian Normal University Cross-Strait Cultural Development Research Center, Fujian Normal University College of Literature and Taiwan's "Chinese Cultural Education Society". This semester has been used by many schools such as Taipei Wanfang High School, Master Girls' High School, Kaohsiung Qianzhen High School and Gao Normal University Affiliated High School and other schools. This has caused doubts about the "unified front" between the green camp and "Taiwan independence" elements.
The strong smell of gunpowder makes people "very scary". Chen Fangming, professor at the Institute of Arts, , , , said, "For textbooks in primary and secondary schools and even high school vocational schools, there should be a prudent check mechanism, otherwise it will cause great harm to Taiwan's democratic system." Li Xiaofeng, a "Taiwan independence" element and an honorary professor at Taipei University of Education, criticized that this was "rude". DPP "legislator" Huang Guoshu also believes that if textbooks also become part of communication, they will become tools of united front.
What exactly is it that makes the "Taiwan independence" elements so restless? It turns out that what they are worried about is only the Chinese language textbooks for high schools across the Taiwan Strait. It’s funny to think about it. Is the thin textbook worthy of being so angry?
In fact, mainland textbooks attach importance to text interpretation, while Taiwan textbooks are known for their rich information, so the cross-strait textbooks are therefore integrated with the advantages of both sides. For example, Shi Guowei, a student from Wanfang High School in Taipei, said that there are many legends and explanations in the textbooks, which are very practical. The new textbook has made him more interested in learning Chinese culture. Editor-in-chief Sun Jianqiu also said that the purpose of co-editing textbooks was to target Southeast Asian overseas Chinese schools and the mainland market. "If Taiwan's schools cannot be used, how could Southeast Asian schools believe this set of textbooks?"
Both sides of the Taiwan Strait have the same roots. Although Taiwan has not returned to the motherland due to political and historical factors, this does not hinder the fact that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have the same culture and history. Besides, the textbooks compiled are purely for commercial reasons and should not involve "unified front". Moreover, this set of textbooks also comply with the curriculum and are completely based on the rules. The content of the text has nothing to do with politics, and the outside world over speculation and even exaggeration is nothing more than the "Taiwan independence" idea.
It is no wonder that since Tsai Ing-wen came to power in May last year, she has been "de-Sinicization" in the fields of education and culture. A series of actions such as "de-Confucianism", "de-Zheng", "de-Sun", and "de-Chiang" have shocked the outside world. This has led to "Taiwan independence" contrary to Taiwan's reality, triggering a cross-strait crisis, and the sharp drop in mainland tourists, and Taiwan's tourism economy has suffered huge losses. Various versions of the survey show that "Chinese identity" on the island is increasing.
What the people of Taiwan pursue is nothing more than stable life and stable life and work hard. But Tsai Ing-wen's struggles made living a good life very "luxury". With its series of policy measures, not only many people's livelihood issues have not been solved, but cross-strait relations have also dropped to freezing point. When people's livelihoods are all problems, they are still clamoring to "de-Sinicization" and will surely dig their own graves.
