Wang Wenbin pointed out in his speech that Mr. Sun Yat-sen maintained national unity and ethnic unity throughout his life. This was a firm belief throughout his revolutionary career and the most important historical message left to all Chinese people. We must clearly inherit Dr. Sun Yat-sen's firm stance of opposing separatism and safeguarding reunification, always adhere to the one-China principle, resolutely oppose all kinds of separatist acts, unite all patriotic forces at home and abroad, strive to promote the cause of the peaceful reunification of the motherland, and jointly open up a bright future for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Fang Qiaosheng said that Mr. Sun Yat-sen pursued national rejuvenation and national reunification throughout his life. In his revolutionary cause, overseas Chinese have always been an important supporting force. Overseas Chinese should inherit Dr. Sun Yat-sen's patriotic spirit, take advantage of their extensive connections and integration with China and foreign countries, actively promote cross-strait people-to-people exchanges, enhance compatriot friendship, promote interaction in the fields of culture, education, youth and economic and trade, enhance understanding through exchanges, accumulate mutual trust through cooperation, and create a good atmosphere for promoting the peaceful reunification of their ancestral (original) country.
Huang Ruihua said that the significance of history lies not only in being remembered, but also in being understood, known and passed down by the younger generation. Overseas Chinese groups should transform the memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen into practical actions to unite the overseas Chinese community, serve the society, inherit Chinese culture, and promote China-Cambodia friendship. In particular, the younger generation should take over the baton of history and pass on the feelings of patriotism and love of hometown from generation to generation.

Jiang Chuanglong said that the overseas Chinese in Cambodia will never forget their roots, and they will never forget the feelings of their ancestors about home and country. What Mr. Sun Yat-sen pursued throughout his life was national unity, national independence, social progress and people's happiness. The "Zhongshan Spirit" will inspire the vast number of overseas Chinese to be close to their hometown and work together to jointly contribute to the peaceful development of their ancestral country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Guan Baocai, a representative of the Chinese youth and a trainee of the Teacher Training Center of the Chinese Council of Cambodia, said that the Chinese youth should serve as a bridge connecting the friendship between Cambodia and China, and contribute their part to the development of the nation, the friendship between Cambodia and China, and the complete reunification of the country of origin.
The symposium was hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia and hosted by the Cambodia Association for the Promotion of China’s Peaceful Reunification, the Cambodian Chinese Council, and the Cambodia China Hong Kong and Macao Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce. On the same day, a special photo exhibition of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and overseas Chinese "Walking Together on the Avenue" was held simultaneously. (over)
