In early summer, 33 Taiwanese media outlets welcomed Fuzhou, which is full of emerald greenery. It is reported that this is the largest Taiwan media delegation with the largest number of people coming to Fujian after the resumption of the "mini-three links".
On the eve of the 15th Straits Forum, Taiwanese media and mainland media formed a cross-strait joint interview team to visit Fuzhou and Sanming, Fujian, to feel the rapid development of the mainland and explore the results of Fujian-Taiwan cooperation.
The 2023 Fujian Provincial People's Government Work Report pointed out that Fujian will improve the policy support and service system for Taiwanese youths to come to Fujian for employment and entrepreneurship, encourage and support Taiwanese teachers to come to Fujian to teach full-time, and support Taiwanese youths to participate in ecological environmental protection, rural revitalization, community building, and voluntary services and other grassroots integration practices, and continuously expand the common "friend circle" and "career circle" of Fujian and Taiwan youth.

"When I first paid the rent in an apartment for Taiwan compatriots, I found out that the monthly rent was only 900 yuan. It felt incredible." Qingqiu Binping, a 95 backgrounder from Taoyuan City, Taiwan, shared his experience of living in an apartment for Taiwan compatriots with unconcealed excitement. He said that this "unbelievable" is like many changes in the mainland in the past 10 years: you don't need to carry a wallet when you go out, food can be delivered in 20 minutes, and it only takes two or three hours to take a high-speed train to a nearby city...
Qiu Binping, who came to the mainland to study in high school, is currently working with the team in rural construction and entrepreneurship. "There are a lot of agricultural products in rural areas in mainland China, and the quality is very good. We help open up the market for local agricultural products by beautifying and upgrading packaging." Qiu Binping introduced that the team members are composed of young people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. "Beautiful village".
"Living here, the environment is not to mention, and I have received a lot of care from the community." Zhang Chuanzhen, who lived in an apartment for Taiwanese compatriots in February this year, went to the mainland to study in 2003. She said that she has traveled to the mainland and Taiwan many times to seek development opportunities, but the mainland is developing very fast and there are more opportunities. Now, Zhang Chuanzhen and her husband have established a "home" in Fuzhou, so they can work hard with more peace of mind.
