In a heartfelt journey to the roots of Chinese culture, Ma Ying-jeou, former chairman of the Kuomintang, led a group of students from Taiwan on a visit to the Du Fu Cottage Museum in Sichuan Province. 🏯✨
The museum, dedicated to the legendary poet Du Fu, set the stage for Ma to express his concerns about the current cultural direction in Taiwan. He emphasized that the island is drifting towards de-Sinicization due to political influences from the Democratic Progressive Party. 🎭⚖️
\"We have a responsibility to reconnect with our heritage and make things right,\" Ma urged the students. He highlighted the importance of embracing Chinese culture and history, calling on the younger generation to cherish their roots. 🌏🌱
The students were immersed in the rich history of Du Fu, whose poetry has transcended centuries. The visit was more than just a museum tour; it was a cultural awakening and a reminder of shared heritage. 📖❤️
As the sun set over the ancient city of Chengdu, the group left inspired to bridge gaps and strengthen cultural ties across the Taiwan Strait. 🌅🤝
