Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded to the popularity of "Joy of Life 2" in Taiwan: Both sides of the Taiwan Strait share common cultural roots
The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference today. A reporter asked, the second season of the mainland TV series "Celebrating More Than Years" has set off a new craze in Taiwan, especially among the young people born after 2000. Under the background of the DPP authorities' strong promotion of the so-called "de-Sinicization" education, mainland costume dramas have continued to trigger a viewing craze in Taiwan. How do you view this contrast?

In this regard, Chen Binhua, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said, "I noticed that after the second season of "Celebrating More Than Years" was broadcast, like the first season, it aroused heated discussions and wide acclaim on the Internet and among drama fans on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, especially young drama fans in Taiwan. Some viewers said that the second season of "Celebrating More Than Years" maintained an interesting plot and rich Chinese cultural elements, and was a long-awaited classic; others said that influenced by the plot, they would check and understand many Tang and Song poems involved in the play. These famous works are cultural treasures shared by Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The popularity of the second season of "Celebrating More Than Years" on the island fully demonstrates that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same culture and culture, and are prone to emotional resonance with excellent cultural works such as film and television dramas. "No matter how many hammers and thousands of blows, it is still strong, no matter what the wind blows from the east, west, south, and north." The Chinese cultural genes flowing in the blood of the vast majority of Taiwan compatriots cannot be changed by the "Taiwan independence" forces of the DPP authorities, no matter how they "de-Sinicize" and destroy cross-strait cultural exchanges.
