Tian Zunshi, deputy director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of Heilongjiang Province, said in his speech that short videos are vivid and infectious and are an important carrier for communication and dialogue among contemporary youth. The creative camp aims to build a platform for mutual learning and heart-to-heart communication, so that young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can appreciate the same cultural heritage, enhance the friendship between compatriots, and use the lens to tell the story of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait sharing the same origin and the integration of dragons and Taiwan, so that more Taiwanese compatriots can see a true, three-dimensional and vivid Heilongjiang.

After the launching ceremony, Harbin Normal University teacher Li Guilong and Heilongjiang Cultural Tourism short video creator Du Bo shared their creative experiences. The creative camp also simultaneously offers special training, focusing on topic planning, lens use, content polishing, emotional narrative and communication skills, etc., combined with practical case teaching to provide guidance for subsequent interviews, and the atmosphere of on-site exchanges is lively.

Zhong Shuying, a Taiwanese self-media person, said: "This is my second time coming to Heilongjiang. The last time was in winter, and this time the autumn air is crisp and very comfortable. My self-media account in Taiwan has nearly 10,000 fans. I like to make videos about my travels in the mainland and let more people know about the mainland." She said that she can meet many self-media experts in the creative camp, and she will also publish their works on her own account to show the style of the mainland.

Kuturqi, a young man from the Oroqen ethnic group, dressed in traditional costumes of his ethnic group and wearing a deer-antler hat, extended an invitation to Taiwanese youth to join him, hoping to tell the story of Longtai and convey the friendship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait through a short video.

The creative camp will last until September 23. Young creators from both sides of the Taiwan Strait will go deep into Heilongjiang's red landmarks, ice and snow venues and other places, record the ecological beauty of Longjiang, the charm of the nation, the rise of the city, and the changes in development from a youthful perspective and light and shadow works, and write a new chapter in the integration of Longjiang and Taiwan.
