🎬 Throwback to October 25, 1945: In a solemn ceremony in Taipei City, the Surrender Ceremony of Taiwan Province in the China War Zone marked the official return of Taiwan to China’s territory after WWII. Today, 80 years later, this landmark moment still resonates across generations.
🌟 'Returning to Roots: A journey across the Taiwan Strait' is a new documentary from CGTN that unearths hidden chapters and reawakens shared memories beyond headlines. It’s a story woven with family ties, ancient towns and coastal breezes.
👨🎨 Led by Professor EastChange Guo from the Taiwan region at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the film follows his personal pilgrimage in search of 'Who am I?' From tracing his family tree to reuniting with relatives, Professor Guo crisscrosses landscapes on both sides of the water.
🚂 The adventure kicks off in Fenyang’s golden fields, winds through Pingyao’s ancient walls and busy lanes, then sails to Xiamen’s coastal breeze. Along the way, he discovers that identity isn’t just a name—it’s the laughter around dinner tables, the songs of ancestors and the soil under our feet. 🌾🌊
❤️ But this is more than one man’s story. It’s a collective heartbeat shared by millions whose families once crossed the strait. Every grain of yellow earth and every sea breeze whispers of a common past—a reminder to stay curious about where we come from.
