My home is in the mainland, and also in Taiwan;
My heart is in the treasure island, and also in Shandong.
In Taiwan, the figures of "Shandong people" can be seen in politics, business, literary and art circles. They are in Taiwan, but they are still worried about the development of their hometown. This blood relationship has not disappeared with the passage of time, but on the contrary, it is even stronger.
Sun Daqian, whose ancestral home is Jimo, Shandong, was once a representative of public opinion in Taiwan. He is good at debate and is known as a "famous political voice" in Taiwan.
Before entering politics, he worked as a TV show host and also worked as a lecturer at Shixin University in Taiwan.
In his self-introduction, he said that he started politics at the age of 29 and has been working in Taiwan's political arena for 18 years. During this period, he always insisted on opposing "Taiwan independence", opposing "referendum constitutional composition" and military purchases.
"After my father passed away, I sent him back to my hometown in Shandong."
Sun Daqian said that when he was young, his impression of his hometown came from his father. "My father was born and raised in Wangcun, Jimo, Shandong. He told me that the Sun family is a prominent family in Wangcun."
In his vague memory, it was difficult for his father to have a direct connection with his hometown at that time. Even the news of his grandfather and grandma's death was many years later, and the father learned it, "I still remember that when my father learned the news, he cried alone in the room for a whole night." Sun Daqian said that although he was young, he could not fully understand what kind of feelings it was, he knew that it must have originated from a very deep emotion.
After the cross-strait communication, my father was finally able to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, and since then, he will go back every year. "Every time he comes back, he will tell me about the progress and changes in his hometown, and his heart is filled with joy." Sun Daqian recalled many old things mentioned by his father, "My father told me that he had studied at Laoshan Middle School. Later, I asked in Qingdao many times, but I heard that it was gone."
Two years ago, Sun Daqian's father passed away at the age of 88. "I sent him back to his hometown so that he could reunite with his ancestors in his hometown."
"After the child was 5 years old, I took him back to his hometown to visit his grave every year."
Sun Daqian was born in Taiwan and grew up in Taiwan, but he said that his father would tell him where his hometown was since childhood. "Since I have memories, our family has been like our hometown during the New Year. According to the customs of Shandong people, what time do, and at night, they have to make dumplings, and then worship their ancestors according to etiquette." These traditions have not changed in recent years.
After my father passed away, Sun Daqian also educated his children in the same way, "When my child was about 5 years old, I began to take him back to his hometown to visit the grave every year."Sun Daqian said that he remembered that the first time the child returned to his hometown, walked out of the plane, and was at Liuting Airport in Qingdao. The child asked him, "Dad, where is this? "Sun Daqian told his children just like his father told him back then, "This is the hometown, the place where grandpa was born and raised, the place where grandpa's grandpa was born and raised, and the place where our Sun family started. "
This relationship with Shandong did not disappear with the death of my father. Sun Daqian said: "When my father died, I hoped to pass on the memory of my hometown to me, and I also hoped to pass on the memory to my children. "
Sun Daqian has been working hard to promote cross-strait exchanges, especially the development of his hometown. He has brought Taiwanese entrepreneurs to visit groups many times and returned to his hometown of Jimo, Qingdao. "A few days ago, I just came back from Qingdao. There are many famous brands there, such as Qingdao Beer, Haier Electric Appliances, Hisense TV... I hope that through my efforts, they will have higher visibility in Taiwan and more Taiwanese people can use it. "
"Youths on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can do more exchanges. They represent the next 30 years of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait."
talked about the development of their hometown. Sun Daqian said that in the past ten years, it can be described as "thriving" and "fast".
" Five or six years ago, I took Taiwanese entrepreneurs to Qingdao for the first time. Many projects are still being planned and designed, including Shandong University, Qingdao Metro , planning around Haiquan Bay, etc. "Sun Daqian said that most of the entrepreneurial friends he brought were skeptical, "They would ask, can it really be realized so quickly? As it turned out, it was true. In almost one or two years, the plan at that time had been implemented. "
Sun Daqian said that when he brought his entrepreneurial friends there again, everything in front of him made him feel proud, "The pride of being a Shandong person. "
In recent years, in promoting cross-strait exchanges, Sun Daqian has done a lot of work. In addition to organizing entrepreneurs to Qingdao to assist Qingdao's excellent brands in Taiwan, he is also focusing on promoting the exchanges between the cross-strait youth, short film competitions, e-sports competitions... to build a platform for young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to learn skills, and create opportunities to make friends.
"I think in addition to commercial cooperation, young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can do more communication and interaction and strengthen their understanding. In the next 30 years, young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can integrate together to meet challenges from the world together. I think this is a work worth promoting in the future. "
At the end of the interview, Sun Daqian said this:
"I believe that the two sides of the strait are thicker than water. The emotional and blood relationship between the two sides cannot be cut off by any political force. No matter what the future integration method of the two sides of the strait is, the emotional and blood relationship between the straits will continue. There may be ups and challenges in this process, but I believe that the general trend of history is irreversible. ”
