Xinhua News Agency, Fuzhou, September 14 (reporter Xu Xueyi) "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Fujian to Explore a New Road for Cross Strait Integrated Development and Build a Cross Strait Integrated Development Demonstration Zone" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") was released by Xinhua News Agency after being authorized, and Yang Yong'an, a "post-90s" Taiwanese youth, immediately forwarded it in the WeChat circle of friends.

Friends asked Yang Yong'an, is there any more dry goods in the Opinions compared with the previous measures? He answered confidently, "Of course! More exciting!"

When asked by a friend, he told his story: in 2020, he was elected as the people's supervisor of Longyan People's Procuratorate. Over the past four years, he has participated in many judicial cases.

How to change from the first trial in individual regions to the universal provisions in Fujian Province? Yang Yong'an gets the answer from the Opinion. The Opinions clearly expanded the social participation of Taiwan compatriots, encouraged Taiwan compatriots to serve as arbitrators, mediators, people's assessors, people's supervisors, procuratorial liaison officers and judicial assistants, and participated in the construction of the rule of law in Fujian. "In many fields, we Taiwanese have gradually enjoyed the same rights as the people of Fujian," Yang Yong'an said.

The Opinions proposed to promote the development of Taiwan's agriculture, fishery and small and medium-sized enterprises in Fujian. This includes "increasing support for the construction of Taiwan Farmers' Pioneer Park", which made Yang Yong'an very happy. He has settled down in Longyan for 10 years. His fiancee is a mainland girl. He also has more than 1600 mu tea garden in Zhangping Taiwan Farmers Pioneer Park. "I am a 'New Longyan Man'. The Opinion has given more support and guarantee to our Taiwanese career and life."

"The dry goods are full and exciting," said Jiang Peiqi, president of Fuzhou Association of Taiwanese Investment Enterprises. Fujian is the first home for Taiwanese enterprises to land. The Opinions reflects the deep feelings of "one family on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, Fujian and Taiwan are close to each other", and will promote the integration of both sides of the Taiwan Straits to go deeper and achieve "a higher level".

Jiang Peiqi said that the Opinions covered a wide range of aspects, including infrastructure integration, smooth cross-strait exchanges, convenient schooling and employment, mutual qualification certification, and common industry standards, to optimize the business environment, deepen industrial cooperation, improve legal protection, facilitate life in Fujian, encourage the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and promote scientific and technological innovation cooperation. "Taiwan compatriots have been encouraged by the deepening of these policies."

For Qiu Junjie, the chief executive of the Health Management Center of Yihe Hospital, the first Taiwanese medical institution to settle in Quanzhou, the publication of the Opinions is of great significance. "In the future, Taiwan compatriots will be more reassured when they work, seek medical treatment, go to school, etc. in Fujian."

Yihe Hospital started to operate the physical examination center last June, and then opened some outpatient clinics. Qiu Junjie believes that more Taiwanese will come to Fujian after the release of the Opinions. "Our hospital will be busier and more fulfilling in providing desktop medical services for compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.".

"I'm from Jinmen, and here comes the welfare!" Lu Lili, a Jinmen villager who works and lives in Xiamen, first praised Opinions in the WeChat circle of friends. The Opinions proposed to promote the integrated development of Fujian, including supporting Xiamen and Jinmen to accelerate the integrated development.

"Both sides of the Taiwan Straits share the same root, and both sides drink a pot of wine together." Lu Lili is the president of Jinbang Sub branch of China Minsheng Bank Xiamen Branch, who often returns to Jinmen to share her experiences in the mainland. "I often say to Taiwanese youth that if you don't set foot on the mainland, you really don't know how high and far you can fly. I hope more young people in Jinmen will come to the mainland to work and develop like me."

"After the policy was released, Jinmen villagers gathered around me to ask questions, and everyone was very happy." The day after the release of the Opinions, Yang Yingxiong, a Jinmen villager, returned to Jinmen from Xiamen through the "small three links". In an interview with a reporter on WeChat, he said that the Opinions proposed to build a "city life circle" of Xiamen Jinmen, accelerate the connection of electricity, gas and bridges with Jinmen, and support Jinmen to share the new airport of Xiamen. "These are the things that Jinmen villagers have always recognized and expected!"

"People in Fujian and Taiwan will be the priority beneficiaries of the Opinions, and should also be the active practitioners and disseminators of the Opinions." Ma Yanbin, a Taiwan teacher at Sunshine College, said that people in Fujian and Taiwan should seize the opportunity to integrate into the modernization of Fujian, and at the same time tell more people in Taiwan about the policy connotation of the Opinions. "Let everyone come to Fujian to share opportunities and pursue a better life, so that the two sides can achieve development in integration and promote integration in development!"
