They are young people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Accompanied by the wind of the hometown and the clouds of the hometown, blending into the hot land of the hometown. Black eyes, black hair, yellow skin, the same family. The Chinese Dream is the same dream of all Chinese sons and daughters. Their dream-chasing life is closely linked with the pride of the country.
On the way of chasing dreams, some people go through mountains and mountains, and some people come across rivers and seas.
In the blink of an eye, this is the seventh year that Taiwanese youth Lin Zhiyuan has come to Fujian.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): This is our secretary, (my) best friend in the village, (knowing) seven years, seven years, 2015 to the present, yes, seven years.
Lin Zhiyuan was born in Chiayi, Taiwan in 1989. At the age of 26, he crossed the strait and came to Pingtan, Fujian, which is the closest place to Taiwan Island on the mainland of the motherland.
By chance, Lin Zhiyuan met Beigang Village , a very remote small fishing village located in the northeast of Pingtan Island.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): At that time, I knew we were from Taiwan, and the grandma next door was very enthusiastic and invited us to her house as a guest. When it was raining, I cooked a bowl of hot seafood noodles for us to eat. They will warmly welcome everyone who comes from Taiwan. I think this extra intimacy is a very important element for us to take root here and start a business here.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): This whole island is full of stones, warm in winter and cool in summer. The stone houses here are warm in winter and cool in summer. When people say that only long stones do not grow grass, they are talking about Pingtan Island. In fact, stone is the culture of Pingtan Island.
In Beigang Village, Lin Zhiyuan saw a group of contiguous stone houses. They are strong, firm, not afraid of wind and rain, and they have a tough beauty despite the vicissitudes of life.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): When we came here, (the houses) were basically empty and not many people lived there. There are actually very few people, most of them are elderly people, and the younger generation has gone out to work, which is a typical "hollow village" state.
In order to change the status quo, the local government and villagers decided to explore the development of rural tourism, and Lin Zhiyuan's arrival was just in time.
See you kindly for the first time, goodbye and joy. In Lin Zhiyuan's view, old houses and simple villages have infinite charm. In 2016, Lin Zhiyuan rented several vacant stone houses in Beigang Village and officially embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in the mainland. In the year of
, Beigang Village had the first coffee house, the first homestay, , and the first cultural and creative space.
Today, these singing stones have become the business card of Pingtan Beigang. This small fishing village, which used to be calm and lonely, has also become a "net celebrity" check-in attraction. Tourism revenue has grown from zero six years ago to an annual average of more than 20 million yuan.
The stone house, which had been vacant for many years, has also been converted into restaurants, shops and homestays. Those young people who left their hometowns have returned.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): Let young people return to the countryside to develop, and the countryside also makes young people feel that there is space, stage and opportunity here. The older generation, at least when he is 70 or 80 years old, can take care of his grandchildren. Isn't this a wonderful thing?
From silence to boiling, the changes in Beigang Village made Lin Zhiyuan and his partners excited. From this small village, they saw the bright future of China's economic development, and at the same time they saw a broad stage for their own career development.
In October 2018, Fujian Province established a cross-strait cooperation mechanism with the theme of "Building Townships and Creating Townships", and issued a number of measures to benefit Taiwan to encourage and help Taiwanese cultural and creative teams to start businesses and share historical development opportunities.
started from Pingtan , Lin Zhiyuan and his partners began to enter more villages. However, the more places he's been, the more complicated the emotions surging in him.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): You will find that no matter which township or village you go to, there will be a story with Taiwan. That is, this village has such close ties with Taiwan, and the culture of this village is so close to Taiwan. It turns out that what I saw in Taiwan also happened in Fujian. You will find that the cultures on both sides of the strait are just like that.
is obviously a place that has never been before, but it has a familiar feeling like hometown. Young people from Taiwan are picking up fragments of time in the countryside of Fujian.The veins became clear before his eyes. Where is
Township? In the first 26 years of his life, Lin Zhiyuan never thought about this issue. He defines himself as a native Taiwanese youth. Occasionally during the Qingming Festival, I saw the word "Peace" vaguely engraved on the tombstone of the ancestors.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): Only after I came to the mainland did I know that " Pinghe " is located in Zhangzhou , and there is Pinghe County in Zhangzhou. Then when we saw our own family temple, in addition to Pinghe, we saw a "Longfengtou", which is a place name. After finding this place by chance, we went back to our ancestral place to have a look and have a look.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): In fact, after slowly chasing it back from generation to generation, you will find that everyone is really a family. And this family is something you can feel in the genealogy, you can hear it in language, and you can see it with your eyes. It is this circle that seems to have been filled, so maybe you may find it slowly, and after you pursue it slowly, you will find larger concentric circles.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): I used to think that only Taiwan eats this way, but after I returned to Zhangzhou (until), I found out that Zhangzhou also eats this way. It used to be called Taiwanese flavor, but it's actually not Taiwanese flavor, it's hometown flavor...
used to think he was just a foreign traveler; but now, he understands that he is a hometown wanderer. In the process of searching and discovering, the matter of nostalgia becomes clear and concrete.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): It should be said that this nostalgia, it is a generation, a nostalgia of a historical context. You have to find a lot of things, and the process of finding homesickness cannot be replaced by many things.
walks into the ancient building, as if traveling through thousands of years, listening to the dialogue between the past and the present.
When those missing clues, the silencing of history, and the evaded past all meet again in a reunion attitude, all of this can't just be brushed aside.
In recent years, more and more Taiwanese youths choose to print their footprints in the countryside of Fujian. From Pingtan to Pinghe, from Xiamen to Quanzhou , from Meizhou Island to Wuyi Mountain , today, there are nearly 100 Taiwanese architects and cultural and creative teams, and more than 300 Taiwanese rural construction and rural talents. Provide tourism planning, design creativity and other services for more than 200 villages and communities in Fujian.
from Taiwan, to the mainland. Seven years passed by. At first, it was to seek personal development; later, it was to seek family memory. And Lin Zhiyuan understands that there are more important things in our generation that need to work together.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): Our dream is to build the countryside well. In fact, we hope to convey more stories belonging to both sides of the strait through the countryside of Fujian. That will form a connection point for this kind of story, so that more people, especially friends in Taiwan, can know that there is also a story that belongs to us on this piece of land across the strait.
In the journey of youth, we meet with history and meet again in the future.
Many times, the budding of a dream is an accidental event.
In 2014, three Hong Kong youths came into contact with the concept of " aquaponics ", an ecological recycling agricultural production concept, because of an extracurricular activity. Since then, a dream about agricultural planting has quietly sprung up.
"Aquaponics" means that the fertile water from fish farming flows into the vegetable growing area, the nutrients in the fish manure are absorbed as fertilizer for the vegetables, and the water purified by the vegetable roots flows back to the fish pond. During the whole cycle, animals, plants and microorganisms achieve a harmonious ecological balance.
Tan Huimin (Hong Kong, China): At the beginning, we were in Hong Kong, and we were still doing experiments in Liang Lifeng's university. But later, when our experiments went deeper and deeper, we found that that place was not enough.
Hong Kong, where every inch of land is so precious, there is very little agricultural cultivation, and vegetables and grains mainly rely on imports. Such a piece of land could hardly bear the dreams of three young people about a new type of agriculture.
Luo Weite (Hong Kong, China): At that time, we thought that we might have to go to the mainland to find such opportunities.
At that time, in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, 200 kilometers away from Hong Kong, someone extended an olive branch to them.
In recent years, in order to encourage Hong Kong and Macao residents to come to theA number of policies and measures to benefit Hong Kong and Macao have been introduced successively. Impressed by the entrepreneurial enthusiasm and courage of the three Hong Kong youths, the Jiangmen National Agricultural Science and Technology Innovation Center provided them with a venue for scientific research experiments and project incubation of "aquaponics".
Luo Wei Te (Hong Kong, China): Especially suitable, it has a greenhouse, it has a laboratory, and it has agricultural equipment. It provides a venue for us to grow.
In the summer of 2016, three young people from Hong Kong set foot on this land and began their difficult journey to explore a new agricultural model.
Tan Huimin (Hong Kong, China): We bought all the materials for the equipment inside, and then three people built it together.
Liang Lifeng (Hong Kong, China): We have basically done all kinds of work. We connected wires, water pipes, and (stirred) cement.
Tan Huimin (Hong Kong, China): Learn online, if you make a mistake, you will start over.
exploring and designing a scientifically feasible "aquaponics" system and realizing the mass production of vegetables is the goal set by these three young Hong Kong people.
Luo Wei Te (Hong Kong, China): At the beginning, our idea was to grow vegetables in Jiangmen , and then sell them back to Hong Kong.
Tan Huimin (Hong Kong, China): We set this goal before the vegetables were grown.
However, from hobbies to entrepreneurship, from scientific research experiments to industrial implementation, the difficulties in this are far beyond their imagination.
Tan Huimin (Hong Kong, China): Not a single vegetable has been planted, and the seeds have not germinated. After buying the fry , they died the next day.
Liang Lifeng (Hong Kong, China): The progress of the whole experiment has no direction at all, but there are too many failures. Then the three of us also encountered some difficulties in life.
Luo Weite (Hong Kong, China): My mother brought my aunt here once to pick me up, and she said she had to come with us today.
The shortage of funds, crop failure, repeated failures in experiments, incomprehensible family members... The difficulties and hardships on the road of scientific research have not stopped young people from advancing. The three encouraged each other and consulted experts in the agricultural field and local vegetable farmers. Slowly, the experiment began to improve.
Tan Huimin (Hong Kong, China): It took a year from zero to when we actually planted the first decent vegetable.
Liang Lifeng (Hong Kong, China): We have many difficulties in the process, but we will see each other's growth and the feeling that we are getting closer and closer to the goal we set. There is a deep experience. The germination of
's dream may be accidental; but the pursuit of the dream is destined to go through countless inevitability - bound to disappointment, bound to fail, bound to be knocked down again and again and again.
Liang Lifeng (Hong Kong, China): It blew our entire greenhouse down. We were in the test system for a year and a half, all our data was gone, and it was razed to the ground. It felt really hopeless at the time.
This rare typhoon resets everything to zero. And standing at the intersection of choice, is to persevere, or give up?
Luo Weite (Hong Kong, China): While running, I said, yes, yes, it is not impossible, or I will tell myself that it is not impossible, I often run and run, yes, this is not Impossible, not impossible.
Luo Wei Te (Hong Kong, China): At that time, we likened ourselves to an iron, that is, you use the enthusiasm in your heart, no matter how much uneven things are in front of you, we will scald it, and we have to bite the bullet. Even though this venture may not be successful in the end, we have accumulated a lot of experience. In fact, this itself is our original intention to try out and try.
Finally, the time soaked in sweat and tears gave the three young Hong Kongers the best answer.
After the typhoon in 2017, the reconstruction of the greenhouse has accelerated the update and iteration of technology. They have accumulated experience in thousands of failures and overcome many technical difficulties.
Luo Weite (Hong Kong, China): Growing up in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, provides us with a very friendly and tolerant environment and encourages us to put our ideas into practice. So I feel that my personal growth is inseparable from the development of the motherland and the background of the times.
February 2019, "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan "It was officially released, and it was also in this year that three Hong Kong young people finally fulfilled their commitment to themselves - from basic scientific research to industrial implementation, they built a 6,200-square-meter "aquaponics" circular agricultural plant factory, a vegetable year The output can reach 300 tons.
Luo Weite (Hong Kong, China): After we obtained the qualification of a vegetable production base for Hong Kong and Macau, we began to gradually sell vegetables to Hong Kong.
Liang Lifeng (Hong Kong, China): For me, growing up in Hong Kong, returning to the mainland to start a business and growing vegetables, and selling our vegetables to Hong Kong is a very sacred thing. I will tell you that I am a new type of farmer, relying on our use of data to support, relying on our use of scientific and technological methods to grow our vegetables, and relying on our large-scale industrialization, large-scale and standardized methods. to produce.
Luo Wei Te (Hong Kong, China): The Greater Bay Area has provided us with various resources and stages for our growth. For example, we did preliminary research and experiments in Jiangmen, but we had to implement industrialization, expand, and get investment, so we returned to Hong Kong and got the angel round of investment.
Tan Huimin (Hong Kong, China): When we combine these advantages, we can create a complementary relationship. 1 plus 1 is greater than 2.
With the strong support of the local government, they have completed the transfer of 500 mu of land in Chikan Town, Kaiping City. A large "aquaponics" open field vegetable planting base is about to debut.
Luo Weite (Hong Kong, China): We gradually established a business, and then we began to sell vegetables, and even finally began to pay taxes for the first time. At that time, I was actually very proud. I felt that the construction, development, and roads of the city were , everything has my contribution.
went from a bustling city with high-rise buildings to a beautiful and simple vast field. These young Hong Kong young people saw a better self and a bigger world in their journey of youth.
In the past ten years, China is running on the road of innovation and development with astonishing speed and attitude. The state encourages and supports young people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to seize the development opportunities of the times and devote themselves to the great cause of national rejuvenation. Chen Zhenjie, a young entrepreneur from Macau, is also one of them.
Chen Zhenjie (Macau, China): Hong Kong and Macau entrepreneurs should have the courage to come to the mainland to start a business. Embracing the large market in China and starting a business in the direction of large industries will have the best chance of success. In the big technology industry, there will actually be strong confidence. At the beginning of
's business, Chen Zhenjie and his partners chose the field of artificial intelligence . In 2015, they made an important decision - moving their technology company from Macau to Shenzhen.
Chen Zhenjie (Macau, China): Computer vision image recognition technology is what the human eye used to do. How can machines be able to do the same. For example, people may be concerned about the monitoring of electric vehicles entering elevators recently. In fact, electric vehicles are very prone to battery fire and explosion. In fact, there was no supervision before, but we now combine a camera. If it is detected that you have entered the elevator, I will not let you in. The
machine has learned enough to begin to understand the meaning of a particular scene. They act as human eyes and brains, learn to see and think, and then help people become more efficient and change their lives.
Chen Zhenjie (Macau, China): In fact, we are teaching artificial intelligence through a large number of samples. After it learns, it can analyze 7 times 24 hours without interruption, and (let) us to make corrections as soon as possible.
Chen Zhenjie's company has grown from a three-person student entrepreneurial team to a technology enterprise with more than 300 employees, R&D centers and subordinate institutions in eight cities across the country, providing services to more than 3,000 government and enterprise units .
Chen Zhenjie (Macau, China): In such a good era and opportunity, to do some big things, to turn technology into reality, and to improve the lives of more people.
Nowadays, more and more young people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan like them integrate personal development into national development. They use hard work to create happiness, pay tribute to the times with technology, and engrave nostalgia with their footsteps.
Tan Huimin (Hong Kong, China): Now, I have taken root in Jiangmen and established my own small family.
Chinese dream, which is connected with the emotional past.
Luo Wei Te (Hong Kong, China): I have more sense of belonging in my heart, no matter where I go, I feel like home.
Chinese dream, it holds up the future of common development.
Lin Zhiyuan (Taiwan, China): As long as everyone takes this small step, in fact, it will be a big step for the promotion of the entire policy and the homeland that fits the heart. So in fact, we are not just an enjoyer, in fact, we are also a participant in the writing of this history.
The same root, the same origin, the same heart, the same morality, the same direction, the same hot land, and draw the largest concentric circle together.
