Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered heartfelt Spring Festival greetings at a high-level reception, celebrating the Year of the Dragon with all Chinese communities. His message emphasized unity, reaching out to people of all ethnic groups, residents of Hong Kong and Macao SARs, those on the island of Taiwan, and overseas Chinese.
🏮 'Our shared heritage and bonds transcend distance,' Xi stated, highlighting cultural roots and collective aspirations. The Lunar New Year – marked by dragon dances, family reunions, and red envelopes – serves as a vibrant reminder of connections bridging continents.
This annual tradition comes as cross-strait exchanges continue to grow, with over 100,000 Taiwan residents reportedly traveling to the Chinese mainland for holiday reunions. Analysts note such cultural ties reinforce what many call the 'invisible threads of unity.'
Millennials and Gen Z audiences might relate this to viral #FamilyReunion trends on TikTok, where diaspora youth blend traditional customs with modern twists – think AI-generated zodiac art 🐉 meets grandma’s dumpling recipes 🥟.
