The Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, a great new year that originated on social media and quickly ignited online enthusiasm, vividly exposed the "one family" feelings flowing in the blood of the people on both sides of the strait. No matter where you are, you must have a good New Year, this is the deepest tacit understanding between Chinese, the most sincere blessing, when it crosses the strait, with unstoppable nostalgia, bringing us our hopes for a better future on both sides of the strait.
When the 96-year-old mainland journalism giant Fang Hanqi recorded a video saying "meet with tea", 4 days later, the 98-year-old Taiwan journalism giant Li Zhanhui returned with "a hundred years of gathering", and the friendship between the two "century old people" for 70 years was touching; when the mainland Kunqu opera actor Yu Jiulin and the Taiwanese writer Bai Xianyong videoed the New Year and talked about "passing on the Kunqu art to continue"; when the poetry master Ye Jiaying sent a video of New Year greetings to friends around the world... These cultures not only expressed the quaint and exquisite side of the Spring Festival, but also opened the lock of "common culture, common experience, and common memory" between the two sides of the strait, so that in addition to "touching" and "paying tribute", we had a little more thinking about the DNA in our own blood.

When Gao Binghan, an 87-year-old veteran in Taiwan, and Gao Bingtao, an 85-year-old brother who settled in Xiamen, expressed their thoughts and concerns to each other through video; when Tian Zhengjie, a Taiwan businessman who stayed on the mainland for the New Year because of the epidemic, "reported" to his family in Taiwan the interesting story of his participation in the "Dumpling Making Contest" that day; when the children of the marriage family on both sides of the strait said to their Taiwanese relatives in front of the camera, "I hope the virus will go away quickly, and you can also come to Suzhou for the New Year"... You will find that in every simple greeting, there is a thick "Chinese emotion".
When the Chinese ritualistic event of the New Year's Greeting met the Internet, it attracted more and more netizens in this way, especially the young people on both sides of the strait and people from the performing arts circles on both sides of the strait who worked the mainland, which added a lot of lively festive atmosphere to this New Year blessing across the strait. When those young people in Taiwan who are full of vigor are full of expectations and ready to stay in the mainland for employment after graduation, some invite family and friends to come to the mainland to take a look, and some hope to share experience to help more young people in Taiwan better integrate into the mainland... In addition to family affection and friendship, we see the responsibility of the younger generation.
"Nian" is like a kind of "reminder", she uses the powerful centripetal force of Chinese culture to connect the warmth of the family on both sides of the strait. People who exchange blessings on the new media platform, although they are separated by two places and cannot meet, are full of affection, "The strait is difficult to separate the wild geese, and the years do not change people's hearts." "The Year of the Tiger has arrived, the blessings do not stop, and the family affection is eternal.
