New Party chief starts mainland visit By Zhan Lisheng (China Daily) Updated: 2005-07-07 06:04
The Huanghuagang Tombs have an important place in Chinese history, as they
mark the deaths of those who died during an abortive uprising in 1911 to
overthrow the country's last imperial dynasty.
Yok Yu-ming,
chairman of the New Party in Taiwan, makes a stopover in Hong Kong en
route to the mainland for the "trip of the Chinese nation" July 6, 2005.
[Xinhua] | The mainland tour, from July 6 to 13, will also take Yok and his delegation
to Nanjing, Dalian and Beijing.
In Nanjing, the group will pay their respects at the Mausoleum of Sun
Yat-sen, forerunner of China's democratic revolution.
In Beijing, the delegation will visit the Memorial Hall of the War of
Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and take part in activities to
commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII.
Through the visit, the New Party is playing its role in improving
cross-Straits relations, Yok said.
"All Chinese descendants should draw a lesson from history and shoulder the
historic mission of maintaining national unity and seeking peaceful
reunification of the motherland," he said.
The New Party has always adhered to the one-China
principle, opposed Taiwan independence, and advocated expanding relations across
the Taiwan Straits.
