Around 100 artists from both sides of the Taiwan Strait have created nearly 100 paintings and calligraphy works to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, demonstrating that compatriots from both sides share the same roots and support each other.

These works are being showcased at an exhibition that opened on June 28 at the Taiwan Hall in Beijing and will remain open to the public until July 2. The exhibition features historical and contemporary themes, including the Long March, rocket launches, rural development, and the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Painter Huang Mu-chun from Taiwan presented his artwork at the exhibition, using the image of a rising sun to express blessings for the CPC's anniversary and peaceful cross-Strait development.

"The CPC has created a miracle, and now the entire world is looking at China's achievements," Huang said. "The rising sun in my work signifies a vision to care for compatriots on both sides of the Strait, conveying a sense of hope that our compatriots on both sides can live a prosperous life."

Having promoted cross-Strait cultural interactions for 20 years, Huang added that artistic exchanges best manifest the shared traditional heritage and kinship, laying a solid foundation for peaceful reunification.

Ma Xiaoguang, deputy head of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait, said that the CPC has always cared about Taiwan's future and the interests of Taiwan compatriots, promoting peaceful and integrated development across the Strait.

The exhibition integrates mainland achievements, revolutionary traditions, and cross-Strait nostalgia, Ma said, expressing hope that Taiwan compatriots would deepen their understanding of the nation's history and strengthen their confidence as Chinese individuals.

To further cultural interactions, the event was co-hosted by the cross-Strait painting and calligraphy institute of the Central Committee of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League, which was founded in 1947 and is one of the eight non-communist political parties on the Chinese mainland.
