china news service, jishou, hunan, september 9 (reporter chen jianxin) li xizhu, secretary-general of the taiwan history research center of the chinese academy of social sciences, said in jishou, hunan recently that the current taiwanese society has been torn apart in terms of identity, historical culture and other aspects. the historical circles on both sides of the taiwan strait should attach great importance to it, strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and jointly restore and write objective and true history.

a workshop involving the research on china's maritime and border governance since the ming and qing dynasties was held in jishou, hunan from september 7 to 8. li xizhu, one of the organizers of the event, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from china news service during the break of the meeting.

taiwanese artist ariel lin recently caused some irrational attacks in taiwan for identifying with her ancestral homeland in a mainland variety show, saying "i am from chengdu, my grandfather is from chengdu." in this regard, li xizhu believes that this reflects the current split in taiwanese society in terms of identity, and is also the result of the democratic progressive party's years of promoting "cultural taiwan independence" and practicing its "taiwan independence historical view."

it is natural for the people to identify with their hometown and express this simple emotion in various ways. for example, like in mainland china, some people in taiwan used to mark the "branch" on the door of old houses, such as linhuai branch, qinghe branch, etc., to remind their descendants not to forget their roots.

looking back at the history of migration to taiwan, li xizhu said that during the ming and qing dynasties, a large number of minnan people and hakka people migrated to taiwan from fujian, guangdong and other places. in 1949, as the kuomintang authorities retreated to taiwan, people from more provinces in the mainland followed the army to taiwan and began to settle down in many places in taiwan. later, many people established hometown associations based on provinces or even counties, which was a practical expression of their identification with their native place.
