"In Taipei, there are both Fuzhou Street and Xiamen Street. So, Mr. Ma told his friends in Fujian Province that he grew up in the Wanhua District of Taipei [where there are streets named after the city of Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Xiamen], so he has been familiar with the streets since childhood. Coming here was also his long-cherished wish. He visited the former residence of Lin Juemin [today], which was Mr. Ma's lifelong aspiration. I think this trip is very profound and touching for him."

Ma Ying-jeou, former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang party, and accompanying youth delegation from Taiwan on Wednesday paid a visit to some historical sites in the city of Fuzhou, east China's Fujian Province, rekindling shared historical memories for people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

The stop in Fuzhou is part of their two-week visit to the Chinese mainland.

The sites they visited in Fuzhou include the former residence of Lin Juemin, a renowned revolutionary hero, the Taiwan Guild Hall, and the Memorial Hall for Lin Zexu, a Chinese national hero who suppressed the opium trade and fought against foreign aggression in the 19th century.

The Ma Ying-jeou Foundation stated that this trip makes Ma feel a strong sense of bond and belonging.

"In Taipei, there are both Fuzhou Street and Xiamen Street. So, Mr. Ma told his friends in Fujian Province that he grew up in the Wanhua District of Taipei [where there are streets named after the city of Guangzhou, Fuzhou, and Xiamen], so he has been familiar with the streets since childhood. Coming here was also his long-cherished wish. He visited the former residence of Lin Juemin [today], which was Mr. Ma's lifelong aspiration. I think this trip is very profound and touching for him," said Hsiao Hsu-tsen, executive director of Ma Ying-jeou Foundation.
