New Year's fireplace, just to have a stove! When I was at home, my mom would prepare a hot pot, and I was very touched to see them prepare it here. The third time to spend the Spring Festival in Fujian, Taiwanese young Xu Zhenzhen has a feeling of "like at home" this year.
On the evening of the 8th, the 29th day of the lunar calendar, a cross-strait family integration activity was held in Guixi Community, Yuefeng Town, Jin'an District, Fuzhou City. The community pasted the word "Fu", hung up New Year's pictures, and representatives of families on both sides of the strait who spent the Spring Festival in Fuzhou sat together.

Since January 2022, the Guixi community is the location of the Taiwan Compatriot Apartment in Fuzhou City, and since January 2022, the Taiwan Compatriot Apartment has welcomed five batches of 257 households, and 422 Taiwan compatriots have "settled here". The "Taiwanese flavor, family flavor, and human touch" of the Taiwan compatriot apartment was also displayed in this fireside activity.
Xu Zhenzhen felt that this event was lively and joyful, and it was rare for him to get together like this with other Taiwan compatriots, and he "had endless words" with each other.
Three years ago, Xu Zhenzhen, who was engaged in the operation of a mainland online shopping platform in Taiwan, decided to take advantage of the rapid development of the mainland Internet to "land" for development, and Fujian, the closest province to Taiwan, became her chosen foothold.
You can learn the most cutting-edge knowledge here, there is also a lot of policy support, and there are like-minded friends. Xu Zhenzhen said that the Cross-Strait Community Exchange Center provided her with free office space, and she received a lot of support on her entrepreneurial path, which made her more determined to stay here.
Chatting around the fireplace for the New Year, Xu Zhenzhen made a wish: "I hope to participate more in cross-strait exchanges and let young people in Taiwan know more about the mainland through the Internet." ”
He Guoren, a young Taiwanese man engaged in car maintenance and modification, settled in Fuzhou for love. In 2008, he was invited by a Taiwanese-funded company to Xiamen to test a car project, and since then he has often traveled back and forth between the two sides of the strait. Two years later, He Guoren and Zhao Fei, a Chongqing girl who worked in Fuzhou and traveled to Xiamen, met by chance and fell in love with each other, and then started a three-year long-distance relationship.
In 2013, He Guoren and Zhao Fei entered the marriage hall. In order for his wife to have a stable and familiar life, he settled in Fuzhou with his wife, and his wife also encouraged him to start a business in Fuzhou. In 2021, the family was the first to move into the apartment of Taiwan compatriots.
In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. During the fireside activity, He Guoren's sons and daughters recited Wang Anshi's poem "Yuan Ri" together, which attracted bursts of applause and cheers.
I hope that the two children are safe and healthy, I hope that the mainland economy will be better in the future, and I also hope that more young people from Taiwan will come here to work hard. He Guoren said longingly.

Kang Yongming is a young Taiwanese who just came to Fuzhou not long ago. "I just came here three weeks ago, and I just got my Taiwan resident residence permit a week ago! He excitedly shared to reporters, "This time the community specially invited me to celebrate the New Year together, it was very welcoming, the dishes were sumptuous, and I felt taken care of." ”
Fujian is speeding up the construction of a cross-strait integrated development demonstration zone, and has issued a series of policies and measures to facilitate the movement and life of Taiwan compatriots and encourage them to work and start businesses. Kang Yongming resolutely quit his stable job as a physical education teacher at a school in Hsinchu and went to Fuzhou to test the waters. Thanks to Fujian's relevant policies and measures for the construction of a cross-strait integrated development demonstration zone, he can enjoy free transitional housing for three months in the apartment of Taiwan compatriots.
In the past few days, Kang Yongming has been busy visiting Fuzhou to learn about the humanities, history, and geography, and then bring his family from Taiwan with him after he has settled down.
Kang Yongming plans to engage in education and self-education, and share the life of the mainland with students, family and friends in Taiwan. "When the karma arrives, we will be brave enough to take this step, after all, the mainland market has more room and more opportunities. He believes that the future will definitely get better and better.
The fireplace lasted until late at night, and compatriots on both sides of the strait showed their talents and celebrated the joy of the New Year, and also picked up their mobile phones to talk to distant relatives and friends** and share the joy. (ENDS).
