Twenty-seven years ago today, on October 14th, 1998 (August 24th, 1998 in the lunar calendar), Gu Zhenfu began his "ice melting journey" in the mainland of the motherland. On October 15th, 1998, Wang Daohan, president of ARATS, and Gu Zhenfu, chairman of Taiwan Province SEF, started their second meeting. From October 14th to 19th, 1998, Mr. Gu Zhenfu, chairman of Taiwan Province SEF, led a delegation to visit the mainland of the motherland. At the age of 80, he traveled to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing, and made what Mr. Gu called a "ice melting trip". On the afternoon of October 15th, Wang Daohan, president of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits, and Gu Zhenfu started a unique conversation in a "family-style atmosphere" in Magnolia Hall of Shanghai New Jinjiang Hotel. This is the second meeting between the two after meeting in Singapore in 1993. The two old gentlemen sipped tea and talked, and reached a breakthrough four-point consensus in a relaxed atmosphere, including the decision of the two associations to hold a dialogue including politics, economy and other aspects; President Wang Daohan will visit Taiwan Province at an appropriate time. On the evening of October 18th, Gu Zhenfu used several "extraordinary" words to express his feelings about his trip to the mainland of the motherland at the Chinese and foreign journalists' association. He said the just-concluded meeting with General Secretary Jiang Zemin was held in a "very cordial and free atmosphere"; He expressed "great pleasure" at reaching a four-point consensus with President Wang Daohan; I would like to express "thank you very much" to ARATS for its careful arrangement and careful reception of the delegation. Gu Zhenfu is so hard: the distance from Taipei to Shanghai is only 680 kilometers. Since there are no three links between the two sides of the strait, the plane diverted to Hong Kong and flew for 4 hours; After returning to Taiwan after his visit, he couldn't fly directly, so he had to transfer to Japan. Gu Zhenfu was so tired that he left the airport in a wheelchair.
