Its strategic location has made it a focal point of tension for over 75 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chiang, like many Taiwanese, grew up hearing stories about Kinmen\u2014tales of the communist bombings in the 1950s and the sacrifices made by young people, including his father, who left their families to serve in the military.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-35-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-960908\" style=\"width:850px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-35-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-35-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-35-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-35-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-35-430x286.jpeg 430w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-35-1200x800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/pre.efe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-35.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>A Taiwan tourist boat approaches to dock at a wharf in New Taipei City, Taiwan, 04 March 2024.
