"The reunification has not yet been achieved, all the Chinese compatriots should spare no effort to this end," said Yok Mu-ming, chairman of the small opposition party in Taiwan when delivering a speech at the Beijing-based People's University of China.

Yok is heading a 30-member delegation for an eight-day journey to the mainland with the theme of commemorating the 60th anniversary of China's victory over the war against the Japanese aggression from last Wednesday.

He said the aim of the delegation's trip to the Chinese mainland is to promote the nation's revitalization and arouse patriotism and nationalism among the young generation.

It also visited the Mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, and offered condolences to victims of the Nanjing Massacre at the Memorial Hall of Compatriots Murdered in Nanjing.

During their stay in Dalian, a port city in northeast China's Liaoning Province, Yok and his entourage visited some historical sites including the Museum of Lushun Japanese and Russian Prison and Wanzhong Cemetery, a site in commemoration of the Chinese people's resistance against Japanese invasion.

"The wartime history tells us that only unity can bring a country prosperity and a nation rejuvenation," Yok said.
