The year 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the Wang-Koo Meeting between Taiwan and mainland China. In April 1993, the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) and the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) held a historic meeting in Singapore. It was the first officially authorized meeting between these civil organizations since 1949. Four agreements were signed during the meeting, which set the stage for the following three decades of cross-strait relations. Our crew traveled to Taiwan, mainland China, and Singapore to shoot on-site footage commemorating this significant historical moment. They interviewed participants, witnesses, and individuals with firsthand knowledge of the events. Through its oral accounts and archival footage, the documentary presents the entire process of preparation and conduct of the Wang-Koo Meeting, shedding light on commonly overlooked historical details of cross-strait exchanges.

This last episode in the series The Story of India tells how a foreign multinational (the East India Company) thousands of miles away gradually and almost by chance took power over great swathes of the Indian subcontinent; how after the horrendous shock of the 1857 'Mutiny' the British state took over and turned this supremacy into the Raj, the jewel in the crown of the greatest empire the world had ever seen; and how the Freedom Movement delivered Independence to India in 1947, albeit a divided India. The series ends by acknowledging the extraordinary achievements of Indian democracy over sixty years and flags India's predicted rise to be the largest country and the second largest (or even the largest) economy in the world in the next three decades.

FATHER COX'S ARMY REACHES CAPITAL TO PETITION CONGRESS
(86)
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Followed by a host of idle, 10,000 strong, the Rev. James R. Cox, of Pittsburgh, presents the demands of the "hunger caravan" to the Federal Government. In Capitol Plaza extra police guards are ordered out as a precautionary measure but the demonstration is peaceful with the marchers concentrating entirely on rations of sauerkraut and frankfurters. After a tedious rain-soaked trek from Pennsylvania, wet but not discouraged, they stand behind their religious leader and urge the solons to action. A $5,000,000,000 bond issue to carry on government building works is asked for jobless relief.
FELINE QUEENS VIE IN SEASON'S OPENING THOROUGHBRED SHOW
(75)
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- The first meet of the year attracts 136 entries for the Atlantic Cat Club competition. The contenders rank from the Siamese Royal breed and fluffy Persians to ex-alley cats. Rosedear, Dresden Cotton Tom, Sir Boss of Khiva, and Yum Yum strut their stuff and prove to spectators and judges that they deserve to be called "aristo-cats," in a great exhibit, the proceeds of which go to the fund for unemployed.
EX-CHAMPION RUNNER HOOFS FOR $1,000 PRIZE IN LONG DANCE GRIND
(130)
NEWARK, N. J. -- Joie Ray, one-time world's greatest middle-distance cinderpath star, turns to the goofy gallop for the dollars he may win. Teamed with Alice Krug, of St. Albans, New York, he has trudged around Dreamland Park pavilion floor since October 22. And the once great amateur speed king is just as chesty as he was in the palmiest days of his career. Necessity drove him to such competition as this, and, he declares, he can't eat the trophies his track activities brought him.

RECORD RAINS FLOOD HEART OF CITY AND RUIN CROP HARVEST
WATSONVILLE, Cal. -- Homes are deserted by hundreds of residents as the rising Pajaro River threatens to break over the levees and engulf the entire community. The heaviest rainfall in nearly a score of years causes the rushing stream to inundate the whole business section of this city, and leaving in the flood's wake irreparable damage to orchards and rich farm land.
While in another part of the state, at Truckee, the whole countryside is snowed under by a raging blizzard, whose ferocity is beyond the recollection of the oldest inhabitant.
DARING PILOT RISKS NECK ACHIEVING NEW AQUAPLANE THRILLER

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Mounting a glider on pontoons, Fred Jones takes off from Lake Conway, as Bud Jones riding an aquaplane under the motorless flying ship, swings from his conveyance to the landing gear of the plane. Where the slightest miss may mean a fatality, the two daredevils perform with nicety and precision in a hazardous stunt designed to stir the blood of a mummy.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME IV NUMBER 90
20,000 UNEMPLOYED LED BY REDS IN MONSTER RELIEF CUT PROTEST
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Singing Communist songs, shouting slogans and flaunting banners calling for gratuities to the jobless as well as various radical "demands," a determined horde of men, women and children stages a "hunger march" through Loop, tying up traffic for an hour and giving the city its first taste of organized and exploited discontent. Converging from three directions, despite a steady rain, the marchers push the police aside and carry their pleas to Mayor Cermak at City Hall, thereafter assembling in Grant Park for a mass meeting. Instigated as a demonstration against the impending reduction in municipal support of the needy, the movement falls into the hands of anti-government agitators and winds up with ominous threats and a call for recruits for the proposed hike of a new Idle Army to Washington in December.
ROYAL SWEETHEARTS WED AMID SCENES OF POMP AND SPLENDOR
COBURG, Germany -- With all the elaborate ceremonials that featured the old Hohenzollern regime, the first regal marriage held in the Vaterland since the beginning of the Republic, unites Prince Gustaf Adolf Oscar, eldest son of the Crown Prince of Sweden, and Princess Sibyll of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, daughter of Duke Karl Eduard and Princess Victoria Adelaide of Schleswig-Holstein-Glucksburg. Simple civil rites in the 300-year-old Hunting Room of her father's Castle are followed by impressive nuptials at St. Moritz Church before the most brilliant throng of royalty and nobility assembled this side of the Rhine since the World War.
ODD BITS IN TODAY'S NEWS
56-MILE GALE RAZES RESORT DWELLINGS
BROAD CHANNEL, N. Y. -- The worst wind and rain storm in this section in more than 40 years demolishes bungalows, garages and other buildings, washing some of them into Jamaica Bay and leaving the popular summer colony a mass of wreckage. Described as a regular "Kansas twister," the cyclonic disturbance would have cost scores of lives but for the fact that many houses were closed for the season. Several families, their homes lifted from pilings and dumped into the water, are rescued as they float out with the tide.
BOY GENIUS PERFECTS AMAZING MINIATURES
HOLLYWOOD, Cal. -- Remarkable models of steam locomotives, on a scale of 1/48, but which are complete in every detail and can haul a 2000-pound load, the equal of 15 man-power, are made and sold by Kenneth Dewar, 20 years old. He draws the plans, makes his own patterns and castings and does the assembling and testing. He started at the age of 14, and has marketed 15 in the last three years, at about $1,200 each. Big business from a little hobby.
SEEK PROSPERITY WITH FIREWORKS
AMECAMECA, Mexico -- The surest way to frighten off the evils of depression and insure the return of happy days, according to local tradition, is to tie a lot of real firecrackers to a lot of artificial bulls and then dance for all you're worth. Inasmuch as today is San Lucas day and the bull is the saint's favorite animal they decided to combine the two and ask for Old Man Prosperity to come back in the ceremony known as "burning the bull." They might do it. THROWING the bull won't, that's a cinch.
RECLAIMS FORTUNE FROM OLD FLOORING
BOSTON, Mass. -- The very dirt under your feet is valuable when you walk around in a jewelry shop. So much gold dust and small bits of the precious metal fall and are trampled into the floor that it pays, every now and then, to tear up the boards and recover the wastage. Maurice G. Alperin, a sweep smelter, gets as high as $5,000 worth of bullion from a single store. The wood is burned in a special stove and the ashes and floor sweepings are reduced in a crucible. What's left is gold alloy or pure gold. At $20.60 a troy ounce, it's a business. It looks simple, too, to see Maurice do it.
WOOD-PAVED STREET RIPPED UP BY NEEDY AS FUEL FOR WINTER
CHICAGO, Ill. -- It's a great thing when poor people get a break. The municipal authorities, deciding to put modern paving on Blue Island Avenue, notify the unemployed and hard-pressed residents of the neighborhood that the old oil-soaked blocks with which the thoroughfare's been covered for years, are to be had for the taking. With picks, crowbars, chisels and other tools, men, women and children rush to gather burning material for the cold weather. Regardless of traffic, they dig, pry and gather in tons of first-rate fire-wood. The city gets the old road-way taken out gratis and those in need get a supply of "coal" for the coming months. An odd turn of affairs that helps everyone concerned.
ARMY AIRMEN ENGAGE IN THRILLING BOMBING COMBAT FOR CHARITY
LONG BEACH, Cal. -- Squadrons of bombers swooping down and raining explosives on defenseless "villages," swarms of pursuit planes darting in winged assault on the ships of the bombarding force, "dog-fights," airobatics, and other exciting activities of warfare in the skies are demonstrated, before a huge crowd at the municipal airport by pilots from March Field, for the benefit of the needy. Power dives at 250 miles an hour and similar feats are among the breath-takers performed by the nation's crack bird-men. A remarkable "show" of military flying progress.

NATURE OPENS BEAUTY SHOP
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, NEV. -- Beauties keep their schoolgirl complexions by visits to an open-air beauty parlor provided by natural hot springs. Daubing themselves with clay from head to foot, the girls take beauty naps above steam vents in the earth.
22 CARS DERAILED IN WRECK (Chicago & Indianapolis Only)
PLYMOUTH, IND.--The middle section of an eighty-car freight jumps the tracks, many of the twisted cars falling to the street in the underpass below the right of way. Almost miraculously, no one is injured as the train piles up.
INSHORE TAKES HUNT TROPHY
GLYNDON, MD.--Running a beautiful race and fencing superbly, J. W. Y. Martin's Inshore brings the prized Maryland Hunt Cup back to its home State. The timber-topping society classic is witnessed by twenty-five thousand ardent fans.
HEAVIES GET PLAYFUL ON MAT
SEATTLE, WASH.--Two beefy groan-and-grunt boys, Wee Willie Davis and Casey Columbo, mix it up for the entertainment of spectators and the increased use of arnica. Columbo looks like a midget next to his giant competitor, but he gets in a few healthy swings just the same.
REVIVE GAY MEDIEVAL FETE
FLORENCE, ITALY.--A rocket-propelled wooden bird flies through the doors of the Cathedral to ignite a tower covered with fireworks in a revival of an ancient festival instituted in the Fourteenth Century by a knight returning from the Crusades.
INDIAN WAR STARTS ON LINKS
SPOKANE, WASH.--Federal troopers and redskins resume their ancient contest, but this time golf clubs take the place of shooting-irons as a famous battle ground becomes the Indian Canyon course. The soldiers win, but a brave makes the best individual score.
BUSTERS BUCK TOUGH BRONCS
RED BLUFF, CALIF.--Spills, bruises and injured bones are the order of the day as champion cowboys find indifferent luck in attempts to maintain position on the heaving backs of vicious mustangs and plunging steers.
CARAS HOLDS BILLIARD TITLE (Philadelphia Only)
PHILADELPHIA, PA.--Erwin Rudolph forces world's champion Jimmy Caras to the limit to retain his pocket billiards crown. Two points behind near the end of the match, Caras plays a careful, expert game to win.
