China News Service, Zhangzhou, September 17th (Zhang Jinchuan and Liao Zhenmei) "Music builds a bridge, and everyone can ask each other for warmth, love each other, and no longer pass each other." People who came to Zhangzhou, Fujian to participate in the 2024 Cross-Strait (Zhangzhou) Mid-Autumn Festival Gala "The father of Taiwanese folk songs" Hu Defu said that music exchanges have brought compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait closer.
On the evening of the 16th, "The moon is the brightness of my hometown" - the 2024 Cross-Strait (Zhangzhou) Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was held in Bihu Ecological Park, Zhangzhou, Fujian. Hu Defu, who is over 70 years old, sang the Tang Dynasty poet He Zhizhang's poem "Returning to Hometown" with great affection. He sang the deep nostalgia with his rich voice and received bursts of applause.
"When a young boy leaves home and his elder brother returns home, his local pronunciation remains unchanged and his hair fades. When children see each other but don't recognize each other, they laugh and ask where the guests are from..." On the stage, the background of Hu Defu's singing was matched with the video of the humanities documentary "Letters from Cross-Strait Home", It conveys the longing for reunion of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Zhangzhou is the main ancestral home of Taiwanese compatriots. Zhangtai has the same roots, ancestors and origins, and shares common folk beliefs and cultural customs. "No matter where you go, you have to know where you come from." Hu Defu said in an interview with reporters before the performance that many people in Taiwan are originally from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and this time he came to visit for his Taiwanese friends who are originally from the mainland.
"I hope to tell everyone through music that no matter how long they are separated, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family. They have the same culture, blood and origins, and they must be communicated and passed down from generation to generation." Hu Defu said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I hope that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will be a family together. Communicate more in various fields to enhance mutual feelings. (End)
