| At a welcoming ceremony in Nanjing
given by Li Yuanchao, secretary of Communist Party of China (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 China's modern history.
It was where Dr Sun Yat-sen, pioneer of China's democratic revolution,
founded the Republic of China in 1911 when he led people to overthrow the Qing
Dynasty (1616-1911), China'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.
