The Old Trees—Cross-strait is One Family
The old trees are more than 1000 years old, and are discovered in Mountain Lion in Quanzhou. One is ficus microcarpa—Minnan species, the one is java bishopwood—Taiwan species. Two trees stand by each other, and their rhizomes are twining as they are just one tree. They are still interdependent while they had experienced many vicissitudes of life during thousands of years, just like the attachment between two sides of the Taiwan Straits. The ancient ficus microcarpa refers to Fujian, and the java bishopwood symbolizes Taiwan, “Fujianese and Taiwanese come from the same root, we get along like one family member”.
Olympic Committee member Mr. Wu ching-guo was extremely excited after discovering the unusual old trees. In order to show the miraculous good fortune of nature and the attachment between two sides of the Taiwan Straits to people, he arranged to transplant the old trees to Xiamen Olympic Museum in May 2008 after inspecting so many times, and thanks to the donation of the general manager of FUJIAN WEIZHIXING SPORTS GOODS.CO.LTD., Fu Yingwei.
