Mr. Chen Sanjing, a researcher at the Institute of Modern History of Academia Sinica, described the academic exchanges between cross-strait history circles since the 1980s based on his own personal experience. The author served as the director of the Institute of Modern History of Academia Sinica for seven years. During this period, he had many exchanges and contacts with mainland scientific research institutions and universities, and also established close personal relationships with many mainland scholars. As a participant and witness of this period of history, the author has personally experienced from the early "difficulties and obstacles, it is really difficult to fly across the natural chasm" to the current "spring river with warm water, the boat has passed thousands of mountains". With emotion, he cannot help but be willing to "express the bitterness and taste of it", saying that he "aims to leave some auspicious pieces of evidence for this period of history." The author writes calmly and fluently, and the "story" behind the scenes is even more intriguing.
