Whenever people gather together, an important topic of discussion has been how the Chinese nation can become prosperous and powerful in the 21st century. Although the young people on the Mainland and in Taiwan live in different social contexts (environments / milieus), with their individually different experiences of life, in the innermost recesses of their hearts are wrought an indelible mark by the fine traditions of the Chinese culture. They all cherish the same ideal to rejuvenate the Chinese nation (They share the same ideal to rejuvenate the Chinese nation). In this great epoch at the turn of the century, our motherland is developing toward greater prosperity and powerfulness. People across the Taiwan Straits are bound to strengthen their exchanges and will mutually promote the earliest possible achievement of the great cause of reunification of the motherland. The precious opportunities and the tremendous challenges at the turn of the century have pushed the young people to the foreground (forefront) of the historical arena (stage). At this transitional phase between the two millennia, in what way the young generation should embrace the forthcoming new century replete with hopes is a question to which we have to seek an answer. 98 Version C-E The visit to Taiwan was busy but fruitful. We went to many places and made many new friends as well as meeting with old ones. When we were together, the topic for common concern was about how to build a stronger and more prosperous China in the coming 21st century. Although we (young people from the mainland and those from Taiwan live in ) are from different social environment with different life experiences, we all have the fine tradition of the Chinese culture deeply engraved upon our heart and we all share the common dream of revitalizing our Chinese nation. In this great trans-century times when our motherland is marching towards prosperity, there should be more frequent contacts between people from the two sides of the Taiwan Straits so that they/we can work together for an earlier reunification of the motherland. Opportunities as well as challenges provided by the turn of the century have pushed us to the stage of the history. What
