东莞市硕东国际贸易有限公司董事长林东梅受邀参会，并在论坛间隙接受媒体专访，分享以茶为载体，推动两岸文化交融、助力“一带一路”民间经贸文化交流的实践与思考。
Lin Dongmei, Chairperson of Dongguan Shuodong International Trade Co., Ltd., was invited to attend the summit. During breaks of the forum, she accepted an exclusive media interview, sharing her practices and reflections on promoting cross-strait cultural integration and facilitating non-governmental economic, trade and cultural exchanges under the Belt and Road framework with tea as the carrier.
作为深耕两岸茶产业的经营者，林东梅自创立硕东国际以来，始终立足海峡两岸优质茶产业资源，依托台湾原生态高山茶园，打造“硕东国际”健康茶文化品牌。在专访中，林东梅表示，“一带一路”不仅是经贸合作之路，更是文明互鉴、民心相通之路。茶文化根植于中华文脉，是两岸同胞同根同源的文化纽带，也是向海外讲好中国故事的优质载体。香港作为国际商贸枢纽，是大陆、台湾以及海外市场对接的重要窗口，此次来到论坛，正是希望借助这一平台，让中华高山茶香跨越海峡、走向世界。
As an operator deeply engaged in the cross-strait tea industry, since founding Shuodong International, Lin Dongmei has been drawing on high-quality tea industry resources across the Taiwan Strait. Relying on original ecological alpine tea gardens in Taiwan, she has built the "Shuodong International" healthy tea culture brand. In the interview, Lin Dongmei stated that the Belt and Road is not merely a path for economic and trade cooperation, but also a path for cultural exchange and people-to-people bonds. Rooted in Chinese cultural heritage, tea culture serves as a cultural link compatriots on both sides of the strait share by origin, and an excellent medium for telling Chinese stories to the world. As an international commercial hub, Hong Kong acts as a vital window linking mainland China, Taiwan and overseas markets. Her attendance at this summit aims to take advantage of this platform to let the fragrance of Chinese alpine tea cross the Taiwan Strait and reach the world.
匠心做茶，是林东梅多年坚守的底色。她主推的阿里山高山山茶，产自台湾高海拔山区，茶园坚持原生态有机种植，遵循传统制茶工艺，最大限度保留茶叶天然营养与醇厚口感。林东梅介绍，一片小小的茶叶，承载的不只是健康养生价值，更承载着两岸共同的文化基因。多年来，她主动担当两岸民间文化交流使者，坚持线下免费品鉴模式，以实景体验传递茶产品价值，消弭地域认知差异，持续推动两岸民众在茶文化交流中增进情感、凝聚共识。
Crafting tea with ingenuity has been the enduring pursuit of Lin Dongmei over the years. The Alishan high-mountain tea she mainly promotes originates from high-altitude mountainous regions in Taiwan. The tea gardens adopt original ecological organic cultivation and follow traditional tea-making techniques to preserve the natural nutrients and mellow flavour of tea leaves to the maximum extent. Lin Dongmei explains that a tiny tea leaf carries not only health-preserving benefits, but also the shared cultural genes of compatriots across the Taiwan Strait. For many years, she has taken the initiative to serve as an envoy for non-governmental cross-strait cultural exchanges. She sticks to offline free tea-tasting sessions, conveys the value of tea products through on-site experiences, bridges regional cognitive gaps, and continuously helps people on both sides of the strait deepen mutual affection and build consensus via tea cultural exchanges.
谈及企业经营，林东梅分享了硕东国际“诚信第一，质量第一，顾客至上，服务满意”的核心理念。她摒弃浮躁的流量营销，深耕线下体验场景，坚持“先让利、后共赢”。在她看来，商业长久发展离不开诚信根基，企业成长更需要兼顾国民健康、文化传承的社会责任。“我一直认为，自己健康是美德，助人健康是功德，经营健康就是功德。”林东梅这句朴素的初心，贯穿于企业发展与两岸文化交流的全过程。
When talking about corporate operation, Lin Dongmei shared Shuodong International’s core philosophy: "Integrity First, Quality First, Customers Supreme, Satisfactory Service". She rejects impetuous traffic-oriented marketing, devotes herself to offline experience scenarios, and adheres to the principle of "giving benefits first to achieve win-win results". In her opinion, long-term business development must be built on integrity, and enterprise growth should also shoulder social responsibilities for public health and cultural inheritance. "I have always believed that keeping healthy oneself is a virtue, helping others stay healthy is merit, and operating health-related businesses is accumulating merit." This simple original aspiration of Lin Dongmei runs through the whole process of corporate development and cross-strait cultural exchanges.
在论坛交流环节，林东梅与海内外参会嘉宾深入探讨特色农产品跨境贸易、中华文化出海等议题。她提出，“一带一路”高质量发展，离不开民间力量的持续参与。两岸同文同种，高山茶这一特色产业，可以作为特色抓手，依托香港的国际贸易优势，打通茶文化出海通道，让更多海外友人在品茶之中读懂中华传统文化，感受两岸一脉相承的文化底蕴。
During the forum exchange sessions, Lin Dongmei held in-depth discussions with participants from home and abroad on topics such as cross-border trade of characteristic agricultural products and the global outreach of Chinese culture. She proposed that the high-quality development of the Belt and Road relies on continuous participation from non-governmental forces. The two sides of the strait share the same language and ethnicity. The high-mountain tea industry can serve as a distinctive starting point. Leveraging Hong Kong’s international trade advantages, we can open up channels for tea culture to go global, enabling more overseas friends to understand traditional Chinese culture and feel the cultural heritage shared across the strait while tasting tea.
依托论坛搭建的交流平台，林东梅也结识众多海内外合作伙伴，为硕东国际茶产品开拓国际市场寻找新契机。她表示，未来将继续坚守匠心制茶，持续搭建两岸民间交流的绿色桥梁，持续参与“一带一路”相关经贸文化活动。一方面打磨高品质茶产品，传递健康饮茶理念；另一方面持续以茶为媒，促进两岸同胞情感互通、文化相融，
Drawing on the exchange platform built by the summit, Lin Dongmei also met numerous partners from home and abroad, seeking new opportunities for Shuodong International to expand the international market for tea products. She stated that she will keep making tea with ingenuity in the future and continue to build a green bridge for non-governmental cross-strait exchanges, and participate in Belt and Road economic, trade and cultural activities. On one hand, she will refine high-quality tea products and spread the concept of healthy tea drinking. On the other hand, she will keep using tea as a medium to promote emotional communication and cultural integration between compatriots across the strait. With a single tea leaf, she will tell cross-strait stories and write the responsibilities and commitment of private enterprises in the grand picture of people-to-people bonds under the Belt and Road Initiative.
用一片茶叶，讲好两岸故事，在“一带一路”民心相通的宏大画卷中，书写属于民间企业的责任与担当。
With a single tea leaf, we tell the story across the Taiwan Strait. Within the grand picture of people-to-people connectivity under the Belt and Road Initiative, we write the responsibility and mission of private enterprises.
