"The compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits share the same blood, culture and history, and more importantly, we share the same responsibility for the nation and common expectations for the future." On April 10, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech stressing that "we should grasp the overall situation of cross Straits relations from the overall interests and long-term development of the Chinese nation", and clearly put forward that "we should firmly protect the common homeland of the Chinese nation" "To firmly create the lasting well-being of the Chinese nation", "to firmly build the awareness of the Chinese national community", and "to firmly realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" have pointed out the direction for the development of cross-strait relations, and are the fundamental guidelines and action guidelines for Taiwan work in the new era.
This is the first time that General Secretary Xi Jinping met with Taiwan compatriots and delivered an important speech after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, revealing the historical fact that both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to one country and one nation, declaring the will and determination to firmly promote anti "independence" and reunification, demonstrating the true intention of promoting the interests and welfare of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, and emphasizing the importance of building a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation, It issued a great call to work together to achieve national rejuvenation, expressed concern and ardent expectations for the youth on both sides of the Straits, injected stability and positive energy into current cross-strait relations, and had great significance and far-reaching impact on the development of cross-strait relations.
History is the best textbook. The compatriots on both sides of the Straits belong to the Chinese nation. The long history of the Chinese nation of more than 5000 years records that the ancestors of previous dynasties moved to Taiwan and multiplied, and that compatriots on both sides of the Straits jointly resisted foreign aggression and recovered Taiwan. Along the way, the Chinese nation has written an inseparable history on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, engraved with the historical facts that compatriots on both sides are connected by blood. In the long history, the Chinese nation has jointly built the territory of the motherland, including Taiwan, the island of treasure, written Chinese history, created Chinese culture and cultivated the national spirit. The common blood, culture and history tell us that "compatriots on both sides of the Straits are Chinese, and there is no knot that cannot be resolved, no problem that cannot be discussed, and no force that can separate us."
To realize the complete reunification of the motherland is the trend of the times, the cause of justice and the aspiration of the people. Taiwan is a part of China, and its history is a part of China's history and the development history of the Chinese nation. The common belief of the Chinese nation is that the land cannot be divided, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be scattered, and civilization cannot be broken. A strong and unified country has always been the destiny of all Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots. The distance between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits blocks the kinship between compatriots on both sides of the Straits. The different systems cannot change the objective fact that both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to the same country and nation. External interference cannot stop the historical trend of family and country reunion. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "As long as we do not split the country, as long as we agree that both sides of the Taiwan Straits are Chinese and a family, compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits can sit down and communicate with their families in advance, enhance understanding, accumulate mutual trust, resolve conflicts, and seek consensus." Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits should grasp the historical trend, firmly oppose the "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and interference from external forces, We will promote the peaceful development of cross Straits relations and firmly hold the destiny of the Chinese nation in the hands of the Chinese people.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "the historical wheel of national rejuvenation is rolling forward, condensing the struggle and sweat of compatriots on both sides of the Straits, and it requires concerted efforts and continuous struggle of compatriots on both sides of the Straits". The goal of jointly creating the lasting well-being of the Chinese nation is grand and simple. In the final analysis, it is to realize the aspirations of compatriots on both sides of the Straits for a better life, so that all Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots, can live a better life and jointly realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We always take the well-being of our Taiwan compatriots as our concern, take the lead in sharing opportunities for Chinese style modernization development with our Taiwan compatriots, and work together with them to create a better future. The compatriots on both sides of the Straits should strengthen their confidence in the Chinese culture, consciously act as guardians, inheritors, and promoters of the Chinese culture, enhance the sense of belonging, identity, and honor of the Chinese nation, and build a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation. We should stick to the national justice, stand on the right side of history, and work together to achieve national rejuvenation.
Youth is the hope of the country and the future of the nation. The future of both sides will be better if the youth on both sides are good. General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged the youth on both sides of the Straits to "run the baton of history well and contribute youth strength to the realization of national rejuvenation". In the historical process of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the youth on both sides of the Straits will certainly make great achievements. On the way forward, we should enhance our ambition, backbone and confidence to be a Chinese, uphold the great national interests, safeguard national unity, shoulder the important tasks of the times, jointly create the lasting well-being of the Chinese nation, and continue to write a new glory in the history of the Chinese nation.
