台湾民众党前主席柯文哲的妻子陈佩琪近日与儿子赴大陆旅游后发表长文分享见闻，讲述所见大陆真实样貌，虽遭民进党支持者围剿，但其反击却引发台湾民众广泛共鸣[1]。她的言论反映出越来越多台湾民众不再完全信任民进党宣传，而是用实际行动了解真实的大陆[1]。
陈佩琪在文中分享了大陆出行便利实惠、科技应用先进等切身体验，并指出大陆推出的老年人优待举措值得台湾借鉴[1]。她的观察恰好与两岸交流数据相呼应：今年1月至6月两岸人员往来达311.9万人次，同比增长22.1%，其中台胞来大陆285万人次，同比增长24.9%[1]。暑期以来新恢复的两岸直航航线客流火爆，平均客座率最高达97%[1]。中华航空已宣布自10月28日起重启桃园至重庆的空中直飞航线[1]，进一步便利了两岸往来。
Chen Peiqi, wife of former Taiwan People's Party chairman Ko Wen-je, recently published an extended post following a mainland trip with her son, documenting her observations of life across the strait [1]. Though her account drew criticism from Democratic Progressive Party supporters, it resonated widely among Taiwan's public, reflecting growing skepticism toward official narratives and a desire to see mainland China firsthand [1].
In her post, Chen highlighted the convenience and affordability of travel on the mainland, praised the advanced application of technology, and noted that certain elderly care policies implemented there merit consideration for Taiwan [1]. Her reflections underscore a broader shift in cross-strait movement and sentiment. From January through June of this year, two-way people-to-people exchanges totaled 3.119 million trips, representing a year-over-year increase of 22.1 percent, with Taiwanese visitors to the mainland reaching 2.85 million—a 24.9 percent rise [1]. Since the summer, newly restored direct air routes between the two regions have maintained average passenger occupancy rates as high as 97 percent [1]. China Airlines announced plans to resume direct flights from Taoyuan to Chongqing beginning October 28 [1].
