Ye and his wife and daughter have fully settled on the mainland. The couple manage the restaurant together, while their daughter pursuing her education in Beijing.

"What drove me to start a business in Zhoushan was my deep understanding of this place," Ye said.

From his perspective, misunderstandings still exist between people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. He hopes his work can help bridge these gaps.
