In response to heated discussions about "Nezha 2" in Taiwan, Zhu Fenglian, spokeswoman from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, expressed the wish that the film will be screened in the island as soon as possible, allowing more people in the island to directly experience the charm of Chinese culture and understand the powerful strength and momentum of the mainland's film and cultural industries.
In Fujian and Taiwan, the mythical figure Ne Zha is known as Sam Tai Tze, and is revered as a guardian among people.
Ne Zha is also beloved in Taiwan and is known for his lively, playful and charming personality. In the past, Nezha has been depicted in a variety of forms such as wearing sunglasses, riding a motorcycle, holding toys, and skateboarding through folk temple fairs.
In recent years, Taiwan has also witnessed the emergence of the cultural phenomenon of the "Techno Nezha". "Techno Nezha" combines traditional Nezha beliefs with modern pop culture, making Nezha more relatable to modern life. This fusion has become especially popular among young people and has quickly spread to Minnan, Chaoshan and other areas in the Chinese mainland.
Despite Nezha's ability to transform into seventy-two different forms, the shared roots of Chinese culture always enable this young man riding on Wind Fire Wheels to cross the strait, stirring up the same passion among compatriots on both sides.
Zhu stated that the enthusiastic discussions among Taiwan's people about films like "Nezha 2" fully demonstrate the common historical memories and profound emotional resonance that compatriots on both sides of the strait share towards Chinese culture.
"We also welcome Taiwan's compatriots visiting the Mainland to take some time to watch movies and visit the filming locations of certain movies."
