the shanghai preview selected the fifth episode of "letters from both sides of the taiwan straits" "still knowing the lover in my dreams by the window", and the audience was deeply moved by the 2 million words of love letters between the two sides of the taiwan straits over the past 37 years. the times caused the protagonists wang deyao and liu guxiang to be separated for decades, but they kept their promises with millions of words and wrote a love legend that is better than countless human love stories.

at the preview, the guests read the family letters in the documentary, "thirty years of separation, thirty years of longing, tears have dried up, do you still remember me..." the words made the protagonists' longing for each other more vivid, like waves, like the tide. when the guests read and the audience listened, they copied and superimposed countless times, making the outline of the sea of ​​longing gradually clear. a taiwanese audience also presented the documentary director hong lei with a calligraphy of "family letters across the taiwan strait" to express their indescribable excitement after watching the documentary.

"'letters from both sides of the taiwan strait' fulfilled a wish we had long ago - to make a visual history of taiwan for young people to watch... we always say that home is a place to talk about feelings, and in fact, the same is true on both sides of the taiwan strait. we are a family. i hope that the broadcast of this documentary can become an 'effective communication' between family members with open hearts." hong lei, the chief director of "letters from both sides of the taiwan strait", explained the original intention of creating the documentary.

the shanghai screening of the documentary "letters from the two sides of the taiwan strait" and the derivative art exhibition of the same name are a new attempt by bilibili to develop high-quality knowledge content. on the basis of adhering to the quality and depth, it attempts to expand the boundaries of knowledge content from more dimensions. the exhibition uses "missing the sea" as an extension of "letters from the two sides of the taiwan strait", trying to explore the more concrete meaning behind "letters from the two sides of the taiwan strait", and then bring individualized thinking to each audience - "what is the shape of missing"?

at the exhibition site, it is as if you are in a sea of ​​​​longing for family letters from both sides of the taiwan strait. the audience can use the multi-functional guide book to complete a family letter experience that belongs to them. in addition to seeing the family letters in the documentary and listening to the "voice of longing", you can also see many precious materials and exhibits, including the genealogy of the zhang family in jianhu, jinjiang; the real correspondence between xu shoushang, a famous linguist and lu xun's close friend, and his family and friends. the audience can also write a family letter in person and interact with the documentary across time and space. "unlike commercial and consumer exhibitions, this derivative art exhibition can bring a unique and in-depth exhibition experience to audiences who love documentaries, pay attention to cross-strait kinship, and love high-quality content."

"from an 'audio-visual' experience based on the documentary format to an artistic derivative form of offline exhibitions, 'letters from both sides of the taiwan strait' is our new attempt at knowledge content. documentary is serious and profound, and has a relatively high consumption threshold for some young audiences; but this exhibition, based on the concept of 'letters from both sides of the taiwan strait', can provide the audience with a richer sensory form of 'watching, reading, listening, writing, and speaking', to understand the emotional power behind the 'letters from both sides of the taiwan strait'. it also attempts to break the audience out of a linear way of thinking and connect the kinship and longing between the two sides of the taiwan strait with the audience's personal sensory and emotional experiences." said zhang hao, bilibili documentary content director and executive producer of 'letters from both sides of the taiwan strait'.

real family letters, real stories, "letters from both sides of the taiwan strait" attempts to outline the common memories of both sides of the taiwan strait for more than 300 years through the media forms of images and exhibitions. it is like being at the scene of the memories across the strait in person, and deeply experiencing "the kinship between the two sides of the strait, and the deep feelings behind them."
