At the end of August, visiting Taiwan ’s outlying islands Kinmen, the most impressed is that it is really close to Xiamen, mainland China.
I rode a bicycle to the Mashan Observation Center in the northeast corner of Golden Gate early in the morning. Standing at the sea rocks and blowing the sea breeze, staring at the outer island Kokki on the other side of Xiamen, I found that when the tide was ebb, the distance between the two sides was only 1.8 kilometers.This is the closest distance on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
On the other hand, Kinmen is 210 kilometers apart from Taiwan.The distance between Kinmen and Xiamen is more than 100 times compared to the distance between Kinmen and Taiwan.
Kinmen friends said that 1.8 kilometers are the geographical distance of the cross -strait military base. From the perspective of the "people's livelihood distance" of Kinmen and Xiamen, the distance between the people on both sides of the strait is only 10 kilometers.
The Mashan Observation is the outpost station known as the "first whistle in the world". There is a Malaysia Broadcasting Station (commonly known as the Mashan shouting station), which is shouting to the opposite shore war. It only entered history until 1992.According to historical records in the site, in 1981, Li Guangyao, the founding Prime Minister of Singapore, was also visited by the late Taiwan Jiang Jingguo.
Here, a sand mining ship, huge sand dunes, and Xiangan International Airport construction site under the construction of Daqi Island in Xiamen.After the completion of 2025, the airport was said to only be 1.5 kilometers away from Kinmen.
There is a friend of Kinmen believe that "as long as the leaders on the other side are determined", the reclamation project can be connected to Kinmen within one year.Faster.
Looking at Xiamen at the beach (Lieyu) Beach, the huge visual contrast is also shocking.The skyrocketed on the other side of the Xiamen seaside building on the other side of the shore; the time in the small Jinmen seems to be solidified in the battlefield years.Formation.
There have been a long years of flames here.In 1958, the "823" artillery war between Kinmen and Xiamen.Only then did the war.
When he was in service, he was sent to the front line of the battlefield, Golden Gate or Matsu, and self -deprecating to the "Golden Horse Award" and said that the soldiers on both sides of the strait were in the continuous fire to cultivate an alternative to the tacit understanding.
He claimed that from time to time, the PLA sent a assault team to dive to the Kinmen Coast to spy the military conditions."The frontline soldiers met either you died or I live, because worried that it became an enemy captive, the Bing brother in the mainland often left a bag of cigarettes on the shore, and the Bingbing brother in Taiwan will also give up a golden gate sorghum wine to each other.Bring back to the barracks, it proves that "once confronted the enemy's army ', and the chief of the officer did not break after receiving it."
Research on the Golden Gate Artillery Battle shows that Beijing borrowed artillery to play Golden Gate to test whether the United States and Taiwan adhere to the bottom line of "one China", so as to show that Beijing cannot tolerate "one China and one" and "two China", soThe People's Liberation Army did not attack all, and allowed Golden Gate and Matsu, which were near Fujian, continued to govern the Taiwan military, and even continued to become a bridge on both sides of the strait.
In early August, Perlis, Speaker of the House of Representatives in the United States, triggered a crisis in the Taiwan Strait, and the military aircraft flew over the Taiwan Strait midline.According to the statistics of the Ministry of National Defense of Taiwan in August, at least 27 sub -civilian drones invaded Golden Gate. After being driven away, they flew to Xiamen. On Thursday (September 1), the Taiwan army even shot down a unknown drone for the first time.Military experts believe that a series of drone incidents are psychological operations and tentative Taiwan military bottom lines.
But many Kinmen people interviewed were not worried about the war back in Kinmen, thinking that the mainland "would hit Taiwan's island directly", and there was no reason to destroy the "Demonstration Special Zone" established by many years of exchanges.
Based on their narratives, relatives and friends on both sides of the strait are very concerned and frequently call for care.Some relatives and friends of the mainland suggested that "buy more five -star red flags" inserted in front of the house or shop house, and some Taiwanese relatives and friends were worried that the missiles would be injured and innocent.
If the mainland really wants to fight, can Kinmen keep it?The local leader of the small Kinmen revealed that at the peak, there were 100,000 army stationed in the peak. Now there are only about 4,000 soldiers left, and Kinmen has reduced from the peak of 10,000 garrisons to less than 1,000 today.This seems to show that it is not a pure military confrontation problem in the "two -door relationship" of Kinmen and Xiamen to the overall cross -strait relations between the mainland and Taiwan.
If you are dealt with by military means alone, when the civilian drone is shot down one by one, if there are civil aircraft, balloons and helicopters flying, the two sides will be connected in the gray area, will the situation be upgraded out of control?
Kinmen and Xiamen must continue to be a buffer zone for the two sides of the strait.
Just as before the epidemic, people and overseas tourists from Kinmen, Xiamen and overseas tourists can visit each other through the "small three" and have two a day trip.Looking forward to the relief of the epidemic and the unsealed border, Kinmen and Xiamen can continue to become each other's back gardens, allowing the people to continue business, marrying and exchanges, and demonstration of cross -strait relations can also be so fusion.
