On February 10th, the Spring Festive direct charter flight from Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi province, to Taipei began taking off.

Until then, there were 31 mainland cities to offer this service. More and more signs of communication and cooperation are popping up between the two sides.

80-year-old Cheng Tianshu, holding his wife's hand, walks through the alleyway.

Such a sweet scene can be seen frequently near the Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan.

In 1949, Cheng Tianshu came to Taiwan as a student, and joined the army. After several years as solider, Cheng Tianshu decided to quit and set up his business in Taiwan. He fell in love with a local girl, named Zheng Ziqin, who later became his wife. [CCTV.com]
