Straits Times Speech Edition on April 19th, an article "In TAIWAN, Friends Are Starting to Turn Against Each Other".The article is reproduced from the New York Times website on April 18.

Long Yingtai, who lives in Taitung's villagers, observed closely at a close distance to respond to the various reactions of Taiwanese friends and neighbors in the face of the military tension of the Taiwan Strait.Under the cloud of clouds, the contradiction and distinctive mentality.Reading can't help but think about it.

In early December last year, I started from the Changi Airport that violated three years.Because the anti -epidemic policy of mainland China was still strict at that time, it was impossible for me to visit Shanghai in Shanghai. I chose Yokohama, a Japanese Yokohama, who also had a small settlement and settled there as a travel destination.

The Kuhang flight from Singapore to Tokyo Narita Airport stopped Taipei halfway.When the quiet early morning was transferred to the Taoyuan Airport with a small number of people, the traditional Chinese that came from the aisle wall viewing board made people enter the time tunnel all at once, reminding me of the last time I visited Taiwan, it was a past more than 10 years ago.Essence

After Yokohama returned, the news of the rotation of crown disease epidemic control was reported in the mainland.Entering 2023, I started to look forward to returning to Shanghai early to visit relatives and friends.However, because the visa -free arrangement before the epidemic has not been restored, the long queue and operation of the application of a Chinese visa have made me still pushing down the anxious mentality.

When I went to Taiwan to travel to the heart, I started to make a text message from Yokohama, and informed the original preparation for the south. Because of the tight situation in Taiwan, the travel plan had been canceled.I settled down and read my old passport and wanted to review the entry and exit records that I visited Taiwan.

I first visited Taiwan in 2004 and happened to meet the year of the Taiwan election.As a service engineer hired by a European patent chemical equipment manufacturer, I twice from Taipei to Yunlin from Taipei that spring in the spring of that spring. It was in the Liuqing Industrial Zone manufacturer in Maiyu to engage in on -site technical support with colleagues.Because the stay period is relatively long, we can go all the way to watch flowers and watch active Taiwan TV media reports, coupled with contact with local engineering and technical personnel and resident service personnel, have a specific and direct feeling of Taiwan's social situation.

The second visit to Mai Yan Liuqing that year. After the project was successful, the factory engineer who lived in Chiayi was approved by the factory leader to entertain me and another French colleague to travel to Alishan.In the evening, when we all walked a street vendor at the foot of Alishan, the news came out of the TV: Taiwan candidates played with them and were rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.The personal experience in Taiwan in two months made me truly feel the unstoppable democratic passion of the Taiwanese, including many levels that can't help people feel astounding.

The closest visit to Taiwan is in December 2007.Although the schedule was only three days and three nights for a short period of time, it once again witnessed the rich and colorful life scenes in Taiwan. The people's living in harmony, diligent work, and enjoying life have deepened my wonderful impression of Treasure Island.

In Singapore, which is one of the north latitude, the South China Sea is close at hand.The international storm changes, and the sound of the ocean.With the relative changes in China and the United States, and the evolution of regional political and economic relations, the situation of the Taiwan Strait has intensified, and it is often hot news that attracts the world's attention.Especially after the epidemic, Western countries headed by the United States appeared between China and China, and the topic of decoupling between China and the United States and the New Cold War continued.

At this moment, the biggest key point between Sino -US relations, Taiwan, becomes a super hot spot, and it turns into a passive but important pawn in a chessboard of a large country.It becomes a tragedy fate of the targets of public opinion and behavior of all parties and behaviors.No wonder Long Yingtai shouted in the article: "We are also flesh and blood."

Reading the article of Long Yingtai is still a little surprised.This time, she posted English in English, not as on April 15, 2004, in the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the major newspapers such as the Chinese regions such as the New Horse, and issued a post on the democratic defense of Taiwan -dialogue with the Chinese world.However, after reading the meticulous narrative of Longwen, you must not let people not let people have a sympathy and care about the current situation faced by the people of Taiwan.

The Taiwan election next year, as a bystander, as an overseas Chinese with the same text and the same type, I want to send a statement to the leaders of major political parties in Taiwan.
