The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council commented on Taiwan’s Grandma Chu sending train tickets to bless Shenzhen senior high school students: a vivid reflection of the family ties between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

China News Service, September 16. On September 16, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Recently, Taiwan’s Grandma Chu sent 62 tickets from Taichung City’s “Chasing Station” to “Success Station” to the senior students of Shenzhen No. 7 High School to express her best wishes for the students’ success in the college entrance examination. 50 students wrote a handwritten reply to Grandma Chu. This story touched many people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Any comment on this?

Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that the 62 tickets carried the sincere goodwill of Taiwanese grandmothers to pray for the younger generation; the 50 handwritten letters conveyed the gratitude and gratitude of Shenzhen teenagers to their elders, which is a vivid embodiment of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait". There are many similar stories, such as a Taiwanese man posting online asking for help, and a relay of mainland netizens helping his father travel in Shenyang; a Taiwanese village director helped hundreds of veterans who went to Taiwan return to their roots, allowing families on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to reunite... The goodwill and sincerity in the two-way exchanges between the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait deeply confirm the deep friendship between compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait that blood is thicker than water and are connected by flesh and blood, and interprets the virtue of Chinese culture of respecting the elderly and loving the young. This is an inexhaustible driving force for people-to-people exchanges across the Taiwan Strait and a strong bond of family ties between the two sides. We wish all the senior students of No. 7 High School to succeed in chasing points as Grandma Chu wishes. We also welcome Grandma Chu and more Taiwanese friends to visit Shenzhen and other parts of the mainland with the blessings of 50 students. (China News Network "Yanxintai" Studio)
