A group of children and teachers from Taipei, Taichung and other parts of Taiwan province arrived in Fuzhou yesterday. Together with their friends in the mainland, they unveiled the Happy Angels Camp, hosted by Fujian Media Group and Eastern Media International Corporation (EMI). It is the only exchange activity hosted by the media of both sides.

Children of the Paiwan minority in Taiwan province played nose flutes with their mainland friends. The tune followed the ancient style, giving a feeling that was both special and interesting. Their friends in Fuzhou also sang a famous children’s song in their local language.

Mr Wang is a born-and-bred teacher in Taiwan. He introduced to the audience the difference between different kinds of warrior apparel. The boys wear accessories made of boars and long feathers to show their dignity. The most distinctive difference between nose flutes of the nobility and the common folk is that the latter’s were without patterns. That night, they also made friends while playing games together.

Happy Angels Camp was initiated in Fujian in 2007. The second camp was held in Taiwan when about 60 children from Fujian Province visited local schools with minorities and performed with them.
