Why does Taiwan Province Province also speak Mandarin?

Both Taiwan Province Province and the mainland speak the "national language" introduced in the early 20th century.

1902, Wu Rulun, the head teacher of Shi Jing University Hall (the predecessor of Peking University), visited Japan and saw that "Mandarin", also known as "* * * homology", was being promoted in Japan. After returning to China, Wu Rulun suggested that China should also promote Putonghua. He believes that China's national language is based on Beijing dialect. After that, China began to carry out the "Mandarin Movement".

After the recovery of Taiwan Province Province after World War II, the Kuomintang government began to take over Taiwan Province Province in order to actively promote the "Mandarin Education Movement", that is, the "Mandarin Learning Movement". Chen Yi, Chief Executive of Taiwan Province Province, said in her "Key Points of Administration" shortly after her arrival in Taiwan Province that she hoped that Taiwan Province compatriots would be able to speak Mandarin in three or four years. After that, it took about ten years to promote "Putonghua" in Taiwan Province Province.

1949 after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it was changed to popularize putonghua with modern vernacular as its grammatical norm. The standard of Putonghua is slightly different from that of Putonghua, but the nature of the movement is still the same, which is a continuation of the Putonghua movement.

Extended data:

Popularizing Putonghua in Taiwan Province Province plays an important role in enhancing Taiwan Province compatriots' knowledge and understanding of the motherland and promoting cross-strait exchanges and even reunification.

The enthusiastic response of Taiwan Province compatriots to the "Mandarin Movement" was unexpected. Not to mention the free classes organized by the government, even the paid Putonghua classes in the society have attracted enthusiastic readers. As for the former, applicants are scrambling. More than a dozen "Chinese remedial evening schools" borrowed by the Political Department of the 70th Army from local primary and secondary schools are full.

Among the students, the elderly are sixty or seventy years old and the young are in their teens; There are housewives, professional women, workers, vendors and ordinary workers (such as rickshaw pullers). On the first day of school, students scrambled to read new books, get to know teachers, and some greeted each other. The atmosphere in the classroom is very warm. And once the class begins, everyone in the classroom is very quiet.
