Yok Mu-ming, chairman of the New Party from Taiwan, said Tuesday he will bring back the Chinese ethos back to Taiwan as a fruit of his mainland trip.

"The Taiwan media are concerned about what we'll bring back. I'll bring back to Taiwan our national spirit," he said when delivering a speech Tuesday morning at the Beijing-based People's University of China.

"We have a deep affection for the millennia-old nation, but the millennia-old spirit embedded in the nation crystallizes numerous people's blood and tears," he said.

Yok said he and his party members will strive to be "happy and upright Chinese", adding: "The party will devote to the country's reunification in the future."

He hoped the New Party, which loves the nation, will make joint efforts together with mainland to safeguard their inherent home and due rights and interests through exchanges and communication across the Taiwan Straits.
