Ningbo-Taiwan Hockey Exchange Tournament Concludes in Fenghua, Ningbo, Forging Cross-Strait Friendships Through Sports

　　The competition venue buzzed with excitement. Players from both sides swung their sticks, passed rapidly, and demonstrated excellent teamwork and competitive spirit amid swift offensive-defensive transitions. "The atmosphere here is fantastic. Players from both sides respect one another and give their all on the pitch. The Fenghua athletes have made remarkable progress," said Mr. Zhuang, a player from the Taiwan team. He noted that hockey has a development history of nearly 50 years in Taiwan, with solid foundations there, while the sport has only gained popularity in Fenghua in recent years. "Still, we can feel their enthusiasm for learning and their rapid improvement. We hope that events like this will enable players from both sides to grow together through competition."

　　"Sports are a vital bond for enhancing affection among cross-Strait compatriots. Going forward, we will continue to build more diverse exchange platforms. Focusing on sports, culture, tourism, talent, and other sectors, we will deepen practical cooperation between Fenghua and Taiwan, so that compatriots across the Strait grow closer through interaction," said an official from the Taiwan Affairs Office of Fenghua District.(Jointly reported by Taiwan.cn and the Taiwan Affairs Office of Fenghua, Ningbo City)
