On 14 February, an unexpected tragedy shook the hearts of compatriots on both sides of the strait. It is heartbreaking that the rude behavior of the Taiwan authorities in dealing with mainland fishing boats has resulted in the death of two fishermen. However, behind this tragedy, there is a trace of warmth and a great love in the world.
The relevant departments of Fujian Province and Quanzhou City have been actively communicating with the families of the crew members, caring about their experiences and their feelings. On the morning of February 20, the Quanzhou Red Cross Society and other organizations sent personnel to accompany the families of the crew to Kinmen, preparing to bring back the two survivors and properly handle the aftermath. This move makes people feel warmth and has a deeper belief in the goodness of human nature.
In this tragedy, it is not only the lives of the two fishermen that have been lost, but also the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the strait. Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, stressed after the incident that she expressed deep condolences and sincere condolences to the deceased compatriots and their families, and at the same time expressed strong condemnation to the Taiwan side of this vicious incident that hurt the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the strait. Her remarks expressed the mainland's grief and indignation and resolute attitude toward the incident, as well as her deep concern and sympathy for the families of the victims.
This time, the families of the crew members went to Kinmen to pick up the survivors, which is not only a mourning for the lost lives, but also a care and support for the families of the survivors. This kind of great love and sincere action will leave a deep imprint in the hearts of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and will also promote harmony and friendship.
Zhu Fenglian's emphasis has even ignited the expectations of compatriots on both sides of the strait for peaceful coexistence. She appealed to the Taiwan authorities concerned to provide convenience to the families of the crew members, take seriously their legitimate concerns, and cooperate in handling the aftermath so as to avoid further hurting the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the strait. This appeal is not only a warning to the Taiwan side, but also a call for peaceful development.
What we need in these challenging and uncertain times is understanding, tolerance and fraternity. Only through mutual respect, understanding, and tolerance can compatriots on both sides of the strait truly achieve the goal of peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit. May this tragedy become a baptism in the hearts of the people on both sides of the strait, so that we can cherish life and peace even more, and jointly build a harmonious and beautiful future.
