The delegation was invited by the Ma Ying-jeou Culture and Education Foundation to enhance communication between youth on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and promote friendship and exchanges between mainland and Taiwanese athletes.

Peng Yihang, a second-year student majoring in Chinese language at the prestigious Tsinghua University, was among 40 students from the mainland who visited the island at the end of November, according to news portal hxnews.com.

The students, representing seven esteemed mainland universities, toured various universities and high schools in Taiwan during their nine-day stay.

At around 20 years old, Peng has been affectionately dubbed Tsinghua’s “school flower”, a term used in China to refer to the most beautiful girl in a school.
