"I am persistent about developing here because the mainland has a strong sense of inclusiveness," she said, adding that she has witnessed rapid development and is impressed by the country's inclusive development and poverty alleviation efforts.

"The mainland is moving forward according to its goals and plans, which is admirable," Wang said, adding that residents actively contribute to these goals.

She said that she was also impressed by the poverty alleviation campaign, which has guaranteed the basic needs of those left behind, something that doesn't exist in Taiwan.

However, Wang also noted that many young people in Taiwan may still be confined to an island mentality and lack exposure to the mainland, which highlights the importance of cross-Strait exchanges and interaction between young people to promote understanding and cooperation.

She organizes cross-Strait exchanges every year and sponsors young people to travel to both sides. Her son and daughter act as guides and take mainland students around Taiwan, fostering communication and interaction.
