On March 30, 2002 (February 17, 2002 in the lunar calendar), Xiamen Jinmen achieved direct flights during Qingming Festival. On March 30, the first batch of more than 120 Taiwanese businessmen took the passenger ship "Tong 'an" from Xiamen to Kinmen and returned home to visit their tombs. At 10:55 a.m. on March 30, 2002, the whistle sounded, and the luxury passenger ship "Tong 'an" of Xiamen Shipping Corporation carried more than 120 Taiwanese businessmen from Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou, Putian and Zhangzhou in Fujian Province left Xiamen Heping Terminal and headed for Kinmen. This is the first time that Taiwanese businessmen have made direct flights to Kinmen via Xiamen during the Qingming Festival to visit tombs in the past 50 years since the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were isolated. Starting from 9 a.m., in the waiting room, staff from Kinmen Guohua Travel Agency, which is responsible for hosting the direct flight to Kinmen, were nervously going through formalities for Taiwanese businessmen. According to reports, the entire procedure is quite cumbersome. The certificates of Taiwanese businessmen must be sent to Taiwan for review first, and then brought back for distribution. The reporter saw that every Taiwanese businessman had a bulging yellow envelope containing several certificates in his hand. Taiwanese businessman Xu Mingfu said that it is close at hand and he does not know when he can buy a ferry ticket and board the boat home. I believe that there will be such a day. Li Xiteng, vice president of the Fuzhou Taiwan Business Association, said that in fact, it will be more convenient to go from Mawei in Fuzhou to Taiwan, and he hopes that the "three links" will be realized between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible. Mr. He Xiyuan, president of the Zhangzhou Taiwan Business Association, who came to see him off, said that the "three links" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will definitely become a reality. This is the common wish of all Taiwanese businessmen investing in the mainland.
