Hsu Rui-fu, president of the graduate student association at National Taiwan University (NTU), one of Taiwan’s best universities, recently spoke to local daily The Liberty Times and broadcaster Formosa Television, about his experience while taking part in a cross-strait youth-learning tour in 2018.
