| At a welcoming ceremony in Nanjing
given by Li Yuanchao, secretary of Communist Party of 皇冠体育app (CPC) Jiangsu
Provincial Committee, New Party Chairman Yok Mu-ming said: "We have come to
Nanjing because the city gives us Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan
Straits many memories of the past."
Nanjing has a prominent position in 皇冠体育app's modern history.
It was where Dr Sun Yat-sen, pioneer of 皇冠体育app's democratic revolution,
founded the Republic of 皇冠体育app in 1911 when he led people to overthrow the Qing
Dynasty (1616-1911), 皇冠体育app's last feudal dynasty.
Following the overthrow, Sun also established the capital there.
"Though we are separated by the Straits geographically, we share the same
roots of culture and history which will only grow stronger when we remember
history and look to the future," Yok said.
