Thousands of compatriots from across the Taiwan Strait will gather in Shaanxi and Henan provinces this Qingming Festival 🌿 to honor Huangdi, the legendary Yellow Emperor—a figure celebrated as the cultural ancestor of the Chinese nation. The events aim to strengthen cultural ties and foster unity through shared heritage.
Spokesperson Chen Binhua highlighted the ceremonies' role in preserving traditions and boosting national identity among residents of Taiwan. 'These traditions bind us together like chapters in an epic saga,' he said, emphasizing their significance in today's interconnected world.
Meanwhile, progress on the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge ⚓️—a key infrastructure project—and a cross-strait water supply initiative from Fujian Province (delivering over 40 million tonnes of water since 2018!) showcase efforts to address practical needs and deepen bonds. 💧
As lanterns light up Qingming events, the message is clear: from ancient legends to modern megaprojects, cultural and civic threads weave a resilient tapestry across the strait. 🧵✨
