China News Service Hengshui 11-4 (Reporter Li Qian) November 4th coincides with the 19th day of the Chinese lunar calendar, and the three words "nine", "long" and "wine" are homophones. More than 20 media people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait drank old wine that symbolized "long-lasting" in Hengshui, Hebei that day. This time, Wu Ruihao, the head of the Taiwan Media Group, the 61-year-old executive director of the Mainland Affairs Office, drank 5 glasses of wine in a row. "I hope cross-strait relations will be like this old wine. The longer the longer the stronger, the more mellow, and the better it will be."

The third "Travel to Seek Beauty - Hebei Tour of Cross-Strait Media" co-organized by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Taiwan Affairs Office of Hengshui, Xingtai , and Handan was held on the 3rd. More than 20 media people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait went to Hengshui, Xingtai, Handan and other places to interact and exchange.

htmlOn the 4th, media people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait visited the production process of the old Baigan, one of the famous wines in Hebei. In 2017, in order to fulfill his father's wish, Han Bosheng, a Taiwanese compatriot in his seventies, made a special trip to Hengshui from Taiwan to Hengshui, and through donations, the contract documents for an old winery house in the Hengshui Laobaigan Winery returned to his hometown. Wu Ruihao learned about this past through the visit, took pictures of these materials with his mobile phone, and lamented that the blood of family affection between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait was thicker than water.

Wu Ruihao, who officially came to the mainland to work in 2012, has traveled to 28 provinces and cities in the mainland. He said that when he first came to the mainland, he lamented the prosperity of Shanghai the most, but now he lamented the prosperity of the once poor places in the mainland have also become prosperous.

According to Wu Ruihao's recollection, when he first came to the mainland, he had to arrange at least one week to go to Guizhou. At that time, mountain roads were particularly difficult to walk, and time was spent on the road. Nowadays, all counties and even many townships in Guizhou have highways, and now the previous 15-day itinerary can be completed in 5 days.

Wu Ruihao said that the convenience of the Internet has allowed more people to see the real mainland, and the comprehensive and rapid development of the mainland has also allowed many Taiwanese youth to see the space and hope for development. In the past, Taiwanese youth came to the mainland for first-tier cities. Now many Taiwanese youth associations chose to develop in second-tier cities and even the so-called remote areas in the mainland.

"During the epidemic, the mainland has good adaptability." Wu Ruihao said that the new crown pneumonia epidemic has not yet ended completely, and many exchange activities can only be conducted online, so this trip seems not easy. Nowadays, mainland epidemic prevention and control has formed a mature mechanism, and he is very confident in mainland epidemic prevention and control and future economic and social development.
