Chairman of the People First Party ( PFP) in Taiwan James CY Soong said here
Friday that seeking the root and remembering the origin are important for the
people across the Taiwan Strait to address their current problems.
In his elegiac addressing to Huangdi, who was regarded as the ancestor of all
the Chinese, Soong said all the Chinese should not forget their root and origin
and both the mainland and Taiwan are in the same family.
Soong led his PFP delegation to pay homage to the mausoleum of Huangdi, more
than 100 kilometers away from Xi'an, the first leg of Soong's nine-day mainland
visit.
Thousands of Xi'an residents and tourists from around the country
enthusiastically welcomed Soong and his delegation.
A middle-aged man shook hands with Soong and said, "Soong's homage-paying to
Huangdi symbolizes psychological cohesion of the Chinese nation."
In response to the warmth of surrounding people, Soong said that the two
sides across the Strait should help each other and open a new chapter of the
great Chinese civilization.
Soong arrived in Xi'an Thursday afternoon for the mainland trip, whose
itinerary also covers Nanjing, capital of the Kuomintang- ruled Republic of
China before 1949, Shanghai, the biggest business hub in the mainland, Changsha,
capital of central China's Hunan Province, and the Chinese capital
Beijing.
