Return to TopThe report from Kuala Lumpur, May 27th (Reporters Zhang Niansheng (章念生) and Wang Di (王迪)) On the evening of May 27th, local time, Premier of the State Council Li Qiang (李强) attended the opening ceremony of the ASEAN-China-GCC Trilateral Economic Forum in Kuala Lumpur with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar (安瓦尔) and Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh (范明政) and delivered a speech.
Li Qiang (李强) said that the successful holding of the ASEAN-China-GCC Summit has opened a new chapter in trilateral cooperation. The summit conducted in-depth discussions around the theme of "Creating Opportunities and Sharing Prosperity," which was very meaningful. In today's era, being able to work together to meet challenges is creating opportunities. Faced with the intensification of geopolitical conflicts and confrontation, adhering to deepening mutual trust and enhancing unity can create long-term strategic opportunities and achieve long-term stable development. Faced with the rise of protectionism and unilateralism, adhering to expanding opening-up and eliminating barriers can create broad market opportunities, allowing countries to achieve greater shared benefits in building a large market together. Faced with the increase in "decoupling and chain breaking" and "building walls and barriers," adhering to sharing resources and empowering each other can create opportunities for transformation and upgrading, and enhance the industrial effectiveness and sustainable development momentum of all countries.
Li Qiang (李强) pointed out that the friendly cooperation between China, ASEAN, and GCC countries has a long history. Standing on a deep historical accumulation, trilateral cooperation will surely continue to write new glories, and the future is even more promising. We will have more sufficient development space, higher levels of economic benefits, and a more vibrant innovation ecosystem. China is willing to work with ASEAN and GCC countries to strengthen the alignment of development strategies, deepen regional integration cooperation, firmly safeguard the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization as the core, maintain the stability and smooth flow of industrial and supply chains, and continuously create a new situation of common development.
Li Qiang (李强) emphasized that China will continuously inject new impetus into trilateral cooperation with its own high-quality development. From the perspective of development trends, since the beginning of this year, China's economy has continued to rebound and improve, fully demonstrating its strong stability. As President Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The Chinese economy is a sea, not a small pond." This sea can withstand the baptism of storms, and after the wind and waves, it will only become more profound, inclusive, and open. From the perspective of macro policies, we have clearly put forward a more proactive and promising macro policy orientation, will continue to increase counter-cyclical adjustment efforts, and have the ability and confidence to maintain the steady and long-term development of the Chinese economy. From a strategic perspective, we will place the strategic focus of development more on expanding domestic demand and strengthening the domestic circulation, and continuously enhance the internal driving force of the economy. We will unswervingly expand high-level opening-up, promote the mutual promotion of domestic and international dual circulation, and allow enterprises from ASEAN and GCC countries, as well as countries around the world, to share China's development opportunities.
Anwar (安瓦尔) said in his speech that the first ASEAN-China-GCC Summit issued a joint statement, sending a powerful message of trilateral unity and cooperation to the outside world. China is an important partner of ASEAN and GCC countries, and plays an important role in promoting economic development, maintaining peace and stability, and safeguarding international fairness and justice. ASEAN adheres to the concept of independence and self-reliance, and is committed to deepening its partnership with China and the GCC, strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields such as economy, trade, and investment, and making greater contributions to promoting regional and even global prosperity and stability.

Honorable Prime Minister Anwar (安瓦尔),
Honorable Crown Prince Sabah (萨巴赫),
Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure to gather with you in Kuala Lumpur. First, China highly appreciates Prime Minister Anwar's (安瓦尔) visionary proposal to hold the ASEAN-China-GCC summit, and sincerely thanks the Malaysian government for its active efforts and thoughtful arrangements for hosting this meeting.
The friendly exchanges between China, ASEAN, and GCC countries have a long history. From the ancient Silk Road to today's "Belt and Road," the trilateral exchanges and cooperation have spanned thousands of years. Today, against the backdrop of intertwined international situations and sluggish global economic growth, the establishment of a trilateral summit as a platform for exchange and a mechanism for cooperation can be described as a major initiative in regional economic cooperation. This is not only a continuation of historical footprints but also a response to the call of the times. If we open the world map and compare the positions of China, ASEAN, and GCC countries, we can find that they form a large triangle. As we all know, a triangle is the most stable shape. Through closer connections and cooperation, the three parties can form an organic aggregation of resources, manufacturing, and markets, creating a dynamic economic circle and growth pole. This is of great significance for our respective economic prosperity, as well as for the peace and development of Asia and the world. We should firmly grasp this historic opportunity, continuously enrich the content of trilateral cooperation, and strive to create a model of global cooperation and development in this era.
First, we must create a model of cross-regional opening-up. The total population and economic volume of China, ASEAN, and GCC countries account for about a quarter of the world's total. Fully connecting the trilateral markets can generate greater development space and more significant scale effects. China and ASEAN have fully completed the upgrade negotiations for the Free Trade Area 3.0, and we look forward to completing the Free Trade Agreement negotiations with the GCC as soon as possible to promote the improvement of trilateral trade levels. We must firmly expand regional opening-up, and strive to build the trilateral region into a shared market with more efficient circulation of resources, technology, and talent, and more free and convenient trade and investment, so as to fully release the powerful effect of open development.
Second, we must create a model of cooperation across development stages. The development processes of the three parties are different, but differences are not obstacles to cooperation, but can complement each other's advantages. China is willing to deepen the alignment of development strategies with ASEAN and the GCC on the basis of mutual respect and equal treatment, strengthen macro policy coordination, and close industrial division of labor and collaboration. We must strive to turn our respective strengths into everyone's strengths, and at the same time help each other solve the challenges faced in development, create a new paradigm of international industrial and economic cooperation, and promote the coordinated development of everyone doing their best, multiplying benefits, and sharing interests.
Third, we must create a model of cross-civilization integration. The three parties have colorful civilizations, and at the same time live in the Asian home, sharing the Asian values of peace, cooperation, openness, and inclusiveness. We must promote deeper cultural exchanges, further consolidate the foundation of mutual trust, effectively manage differences in mutual understanding, promote mutually beneficial cooperation in the collision of wisdom, and explore a new path of inclusive progress for different civilizations. China actively supports Prime Minister Anwar's (安瓦尔) proposed "Dialogue of Ruoyi Civilizations" initiative, and is willing to work with ASEAN and the GCC to practice the Global Civilization Initiative, promote mutual learning and mutual appreciation among civilizations, and gather more consensus and strength for peace and development.
Today, we have established a trilateral cooperation mechanism and jointly outlined a beautiful vision for joint development. Next, it is more important for all parties to take practical actions to promote the continuous deepening and solidifying of cooperation.
Based on the three parties, we must work together to promote key cooperation and achieve more effective common development. China is willing to discuss with ASEAN and the GCC to formulate a trilateral high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" action plan, strengthen the connection of infrastructure, market rules, payment systems, etc., actively explore the establishment of a regional business council, deepen economic integration, and continuously enhance the resilience and efficiency of development. While expanding cooperation in traditional fields such as energy and agriculture, we must increase cooperation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, digital economy, and green and low-carbon, and cultivate and strengthen new drivers of development. The three parties should also follow the general expectation of people-to-people friendship for generations to come and further deepen cultural exchanges. China has decided to launch the "ASEAN Visa" for Southeast Asian countries, and issue 5-year multiple-entry visas to China for eligible business personnel, etc., and has decided to implement a unilateral visa-free policy for Saudi Arabia (沙特), Oman (阿曼), Kuwait (科威特), and Bahrain (巴林) on a trial basis, to achieve full visa-free coverage for GCC countries, and promote trilateral personnel exchanges and people-to-people connectivity.
Looking at the world, we must always stand on the right side of history and inject more positive energy into world peace and development. With the trilateral equal and mutually beneficial, open and inclusive, pragmatic and efficient cooperation, drive the international community to jointly adhere to multilateralism and free trade, and resist unilateralism and protectionism. China is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with ASEAN and GCC countries within multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations, actively defend the common interests of the vast number of developing countries, clearly oppose hegemonism and power politics, and promote global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction.
President Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "To break through the mist and move towards the light, the most powerful force is unity of purpose, and the most effective method is concerted efforts." China is willing to work with ASEAN and the GCC to give full play to the overall effect of 1+1+1 greater than 3, and inject strong impetus into the common development and prosperity of the three parties. It is believed that with our joint efforts, trilateral cooperation will continue to achieve positive results, bring more benefits to the people of the three parties, and make greater contributions to the cause of peace and development in Asia and the world.
Thank you all!

Honorable Prime Minister Anwar,
Distinguished guests, entrepreneurs, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great pleasure to gather with you in Kuala Lumpur to jointly participate in the opening ceremony of the ASEAN-China-GCC Trilateral Economic Forum.
Today, the ASEAN-China-GCC Summit was successfully held, agreeing to strengthen the trilateral partnership and opening a new chapter of trilateral cooperation. At the meeting, leaders of various countries conducted in-depth discussions on the theme of "Creating Opportunities and Sharing Prosperity." There was a general consensus that the current global political and economic landscape is undergoing profound and complex changes, the common challenges faced by the development of various countries have increased significantly, development opportunities are becoming scarcer and more valuable, and strengthening cooperation is more urgent and requires more foresight. I feel that such discussions are very meaningful and should be extended to all aspects, including the business community, so as to gather wisdom and consensus on a larger scale. On this occasion, I would like to share three points of view with you.
First, in today's era, we can create opportunities by working together to meet challenges. At present, economic globalization is experiencing unprecedented major shocks, and the long-held values of peaceful development and win-win cooperation are facing severe challenges. Our joint response to these issues will bring important opportunities to the trilateral countries. Faced with the intensification of geopolitical conflicts and confrontation, we insist on deepening mutual trust and enhancing unity, which can create long-term strategic opportunities. The rapid development of Asia in the past few decades profoundly demonstrates that unity, mutual trust, peace and stability can bring development and prosperity. Countries are an integral whole with interconnected destinies. If mutual trust is lacking, contradictions will breed and amplify, and cooperation will be out of the question; strengthening unity and mutual trust can provide strategic support to each other, bring about greater and more sustainable high-level economic cooperation, and achieve long-term stable development. Faced with the rise of protectionism and unilateralism, we insist on expanding opening up and eliminating barriers, which can create broad market opportunities. The trilateral countries are all beneficiaries of economic globalization and have gained great development opportunities in integrating into the world market. The interconnection and intercommunication of the trilateral markets will form one of the world's largest regional markets, releasing a multiplier effect and allowing countries to achieve more abundant shared benefits in building a large market together. Faced with the increasing "decoupling and breaking chains" and "building walls and erecting barriers," we insist on sharing resources and empowering each other, which can create opportunities for transformation and upgrading. The trilateral countries have different resource endowments and industrial structures. Actively participating in international industrial cooperation, using one's own advantages to empower other countries, and using the advantages of other countries to develop oneself can achieve optimal allocation of resources and enhance the industrial effectiveness and sustainable development momentum of various countries.
Second, the friendly cooperation between China, ASEAN, and GCC countries has a long history and a more promising future. From the time when China's first camel team arrived in the Middle East and the first fleet arrived in Southeast Asia more than 2,000 years ago, the economic, trade and cultural exchanges between the trilateral countries have spanned more than 20 centuries and have always been continuous and enduring. Standing on the profound historical accumulation, the trilateral cooperation will surely continue to write new glories. We will have more ample development space. The total population and economic volume of the trilateral countries account for about a quarter of the world's total, but the current total trade volume only accounts for about 5% of the world's total, and there is still great potential. With the continuous deepening of trilateral cooperation, it will form a continuous stream of trade and investment increments, which will strongly promote the development of various countries and the growth of enterprises. We will have a higher level of economic benefits. The smooth flow of factors and the connection and coordination of industries among the trilateral countries mean the formation of lower-cost energy resources, a more efficient logistics system, more convenient financial services, and more advanced technological support, which will significantly enhance the competitiveness and resilience of the trilateral economies and achieve more efficient and safer development. We will have a more dynamic innovation ecosystem. Innovation in the trilateral countries is very active and has its own characteristics. Strengthening cooperation will promote the exchange and mutual learning of innovative talents and the integration and complementarity of advantages among countries, provide high-quality R&D support and rich application scenarios for innovation and creation, nurture more new industries and new business forms, and further enhance the strength and status of the trilateral countries in the global innovation landscape.
The blue ocean of trilateral cooperation is vast and boundless, and we need to take practical actions to better grasp and shape the future. China is willing to work with ASEAN and GCC countries to strengthen the alignment of development strategies, deepen regional integration cooperation, and improve the level of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation. At the same time, we need to firmly safeguard the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization as the core and promote the creation of a stable and orderly international market environment. Faced with a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, we must work together to seize the first opportunity, expand cooperation in high-tech fields, maintain the stability and smooth flow of industrial chains and supply chains, and constantly create a new situation of common development for the three parties.
Third, China will continuously inject new impetus into trilateral cooperation with its own high-quality development. In terms of development trends, since the beginning of this year, China's economy has continued to pick up and improve. In the first quarter, GDP increased by 5.4% year-on-year, ranking among the top among major economies in the world. Industry has maintained strong development, and the added value of industries above designated size increased by 6.4% year-on-year from January to April. Foreign trade exports have maintained strong resilience under external pressure, with a year-on-year increase of 7.5% from January to April. New momentum continues to grow. From January to April, the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 9.8% year-on-year, investment in high-tech service industries increased by 11.3%, and the production and sales of new energy vehicles both exceeded 4 million, with smart factories covering more than 80% of manufacturing industry categories. These achievements fully demonstrate the strong stability of the Chinese economy. As President Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The Chinese economy is a sea, not a small pond." This sea can withstand the baptism of storms, and after each storm, it will only become more profound, heavy, inclusive and open.
In terms of macro policies, in the face of risks and challenges brought about by the external environment, we have clearly put forward a more proactive and promising macro policy orientation, implemented a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, with fiscal expenditure reaching a record high and the intensity of monetary and financial aggregate regulation significantly increased, providing strong support for the expansion of aggregate social demand. In the next step, we will continue to increase the intensity of counter-cyclical adjustments according to changes in the situation. No matter what challenges we encounter in the future, we have the ability and confidence to keep the Chinese economy on a steady and long-term course.
In terms of strategic orientation, China is an ultra-large-scale economy, and domestic demand-led and internal circulation are the unique advantages of a large country's economy. We will place the strategic focus of development more on expanding domestic demand and strengthening the domestic cycle, and constantly enhance the internal driving force of the Chinese economy. We are accelerating the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand, carrying out special actions to boost consumption, and tilting more policy resources towards the consumption field, which will release huge demand potential. We are also further comprehensively deepening reforms and accelerating the promotion of industrial upgrading, intelligence, and green transformation, which will also create more new demands. The vast depth of the Chinese economy can provide a huge market for high-quality products from various countries. We will unswervingly expand high-level opening up, introduce more autonomous opening up and unilateral opening up measures, promote the mutual promotion of domestic and international dual circulation, and allow enterprises from ASEAN and GCC countries and countries around the world to fully share China's development opportunities.
Ladies and gentlemen, friends,
Cooperation is the only correct answer to overcoming common challenges. China is willing to work with ASEAN and GCC countries to promote steady economic growth through deeper opening up and cooperation, and jointly create opportunities and share prosperity.
Thank you all!

The State Council Executive Meeting reviewed and approved the "Work Plan for Deepening the Reform and Innovation of National-level Economic and Technological Development Zones to Lead High-Quality Development with High-Level Opening-up" (hereinafter referred to as the "Work Plan") on May 9. The Ministry of Commerce (商务部) was authorized to release it recently. On May 27, the State Council Information Office (国务院新闻办) held a policy briefing to introduce the relevant situation.
Ling Ji (凌激), Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative for International Trade Negotiations, introduced that in 1984, drawing on the successful experience of special economic zones, China established the first batch of 14 national-level economic and technological development zones in coastal cities. With the deepening of reform and opening up, the layout of national-level economic and technological development zones has become more comprehensive and complete, and the degree of opening up, economic strength, and innovation vitality have continued to increase. By 2024, the number of national-level economic and technological development zones has reached 232, creating a regional GDP of 16.9 trillion yuan.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, national-level economic development zones have continued to promote high-level opening up to the outside world, promote in-depth reform and high-quality development, and have achieved positive development in various undertakings.
Vigorously developing an open economy, the "first echelon" position of foreign trade and foreign investment has been further consolidated. At present, the 232 national-level economic development zones have more than 60,000 foreign-funded enterprises and 99,000 foreign trade enterprises with import and export performance; in 2024, the actual use of foreign capital was 27.2 billion US dollars, and imports and exports were 10.7 trillion yuan, accounting for 23.4% and 24.5% of the country respectively.
Accelerating the development of new quality productive forces, economic strength and comprehensive supporting advantages have been significantly enhanced. At present, there are more than 4.9 million business entities in national-level economic development zones, including 73,000 industrial enterprises above designated size and 85,000 high-tech enterprises; there are more than 15,000 R&D institutions above the provincial level.
Innovating and optimizing the management system and building a first-class business environment. At present, about 60% of the national-level economic development zones have no more than 10 internal institutions, which can provide enterprises with full-process, high-quality and convenient government services.
"At present, the international economic and trade order is suffering severe shocks, and the uncertainty and instability of the external environment are increasing. The responsibility of national-level economic development zones as the main position for stabilizing foreign trade and foreign investment is even more prominent." Ling Ji (凌激) introduced that the "Work Plan" proposes 16 policy measures in four aspects, positioning and planning the work of national-level economic development zones in the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization, and striving to make new demonstrations for transforming the development mode, optimizing the economic structure, and expanding high-level opening up to the outside world.
First, in terms of opening up to the outside world, national-level economic development zones are the "first echelon" of foreign trade and foreign investment, the preferred choice for "Invest in China," and an important platform for institutional opening up. The "Work Plan" proposes support measures: encouraging foreign investment in fields such as biomedicine and high-end manufacturing, supporting the export of digital services, supporting the coordinated development of economic development zones and free trade pilot zones, and guiding the implementation of deferred tax payment policies for reinvestment of profits by foreign-invested enterprises.
Second, in terms of developing new quality productive forces, national-level economic development zones have a high degree of industrial agglomeration and many application scenarios for advanced technologies. In order to enhance the ability to generate innovation, they will support the layout of industrial science and technology innovation platforms, strengthen commercial transformation, industry-university-research cooperation, and promote the coordinated development of technological innovation and industry. Support national-level economic development zones to improve the quality and upgrade manufacturing development, integrate the digital and real economies, incubate future industries, and build high-standard digital parks, intelligent factories, and computing power infrastructure.
Third, in terms of management system reform, the "Work Plan" focuses on the system and mechanism, management efficiency, and business environment construction, and proposes tasks such as optimizing the park operation model, promoting the relative separation of administrative management entities and development and construction entities, improving the incentive mechanism, and delegating economic management and approval authority at the provincial and municipal levels. The issues of concern to enterprises include "efficiently handling one matter," "enjoying preferential policies without application," inclusive and prudent supervision, and intelligent supervision.
Fourth, in terms of element guarantees, the "Work Plan" puts forward a number of "practical measures" involving land, energy, talent, and capital, such as supporting local governments to separately list annual land indicators for national-level economic development zones, allowing the use of special local government bonds and other funds to support industrial projects, and supporting the listing and financing of development and construction entities. Encourage local governments to innovate development models, strengthen the integration of resource elements, and improve the level of comprehensive utilization.

The weekend saw the village of Meilin (梅林村), Guali Town (瓜沥镇), Xiaoshan District (萧山区), Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江) province bustling with activity once again.
Across the expansive green spaces, tourists pitched tents, the air filled with the subtle fragrance of grass and trees; in "Meihao Little Street (梅好小街)," cafes and noodle shops were packed with diners; and in front of the market stalls, passing visitors were drawn to local specialty agricultural products such as dried radish… Whether it's flower viewing in spring, shrimp fishing in summer, or rice harvesting in autumn, visitors can always experience fresh and exciting activities in this village.
At the public parking lot at the village entrance, more than 20 charging piles stand neatly arranged. Tourist Wang Xiaowei (王小伟) brought his child, drove into a charging parking space, got out of the car, scanned the code, and plugged in the charging gun in one go. "The parking lot is free and charging is convenient. I bring my family to Meilin Village (梅林村) whenever I have time," said Wang Xiaowei (王小伟).
New Tourists Arrive in the Village
"Now everyone praises the village for being beautiful, and more and more tourists are coming." Walking on the clean and tidy village road, village guide Shen Mengjiao (沈梦娇) is leading a tour to visit the village appearance, "We receive several batches of such groups every day."
"At the peak of popularity, there are thousands of tourists from other places in a day," said Yang Yanjiang (杨燕江), Party Secretary of Meilin Village (梅林村). In 2024, Meilin Village (梅林村) received more than 50,000 tourists.
Where does all this popularity come from?
Meilin Village's (梅林村) answer is to find the "poetic countryside" again. With the "Thousand Villages Demonstration, Ten Thousand Villages Renovation" project being steadily advanced, Meilin Village (梅林村) carried out "Three Reforms and One Demolition," "Five Waters Co-Governance," and garbage sorting, gradually building a beautiful countryside with a beautiful environment and ecological livability.
In the center of the village is a modern white building covering an area of 19 mu, equipped with a 24-hour rural digital study room, a smart health service station, an unmanned supermarket, etc. The design team from the China Academy of Art (中国美术学院) named it the "Better Life Center (美好生活中心)."
Strolling along the 16-kilometer slow-walking trail and ecological riverbank, every step is a scenic view. Meilin Village (梅林村) is already a "poetry and distance" that tourists come to admire.
To transform tourists' admiration into more frequent visits and turn "traffic" into "retention," Meilin Village (梅林村) is focusing on creating more diverse and richer consumption scenarios: the "Meihao Ge (梅好哥)" specialty collection store exudes the fragrance of plums, the "Xiaoshan Benwei (萧山本味)" brand store displays agricultural products such as Xianghu Longjing (湘湖龙井) tea, the Gongfu Noodle Restaurant's Ciwu Dama (次坞打面) noodles are very popular, and local traditional brands such as "Wang Taihe (王泰和)" dried radish and "Lao Dachang (老大昌)" brewed soy sauce have settled in. Tourists can quickly learn about the village overview by scanning the "Li Xiaoer (沥小二)" QR code posted in the village, knowing where the parking spaces and public toilets are, and what the main attractions and specialties are.
"We are building nests to attract phoenixes, vigorously attracting rural tourism, homestay economy, and sightseeing agriculture to settle in Meilin (梅林). The village is beautiful and fun, and tourists will naturally come," said Yang Yanjiang (杨燕江).
New Villagers Arrive in the Village
"Although this is a rural area, it is as convenient as a city." Luo Zhengkai (骆郑凯), 32 years old, originally worked in the software industry and moved to the village last November. "From charging piles to smart fitness equipment, to cafes and cinemas, the village's modern facilities have made me put aside my concerns and choose to start a slow life here."
People like Luo Zhengkai (骆郑凯) who work remotely through the internet are called "digital nomads." Meilin Village (梅林村) uses the old renovated buildings in the east district of the Better Life Center (美好生活中心) as a base to create 6,000 square meters of shared office space, meeting space, kitchen, and composite accommodation, attracting more than 40 "digital nomads" to settle in, covering artificial intelligence creation, design, self-media, and other industries, forming a youth community.
While they live and consume in the village, they also bring new urban business formats to the countryside. Nowadays, one "internet celebrity shop" after another has opened in the village, attracting many tourists to "check in" and play.
Walking into the "Sangtian (桑甜)" Tangguozi (唐果子) tea and dessert experience store, various rice-derived products are displayed in a dazzling array; in the "Ten Million+ (千万+)" small restaurant, coffee is sold during the day, and various cultural and entertainment activities are held at night; coming to the "Wuxunchu (无寻处)" studio, tourists can take pottery classes here and exchange and learn with everyone. Some people also hold photography exhibitions in the village, or use artificial intelligence painting and other technologies to design cartoon images for villagers.
The new villagers inject new vitality into the village.
Villagers Have New Lives
Li Chao (李超), a grid member in the village, originally drove a fuel car. Because charging is convenient in the village, coupled with the preferential policy of trading in old cars for new ones, he bought a new energy vehicle. Since 2021, State Grid Hangzhou Xiaoshan Power Supply Company (国网杭州萧山供电公司) has begun to install charging piles in Meilin Village (梅林村) and gradually cover the surrounding villages.
"Charging piles are convenient for us and bring popularity. In addition to tourists, many truck drivers also stop in the village to charge, rest, and eat," said Li Chao (李超). With the increase in traffic flow and people flow, the village also introduced fast charging piles in 2023.
In 2024, the collective economic income of Meilin Village (梅林村) was 7.74 million yuan, and the per capita income of villagers exceeded 60,000 yuan. While their wallets are getting thicker, villagers' lives are becoming more and more intelligent.
The village has built a smart management system. Walking into the 24-hour unmanned supermarket, scanning the product code, paying online, without queuing, it is convenient to buy. Li Chao (李超) said: "Getting up in the morning, walking or running on the track at the door of the house - how far you have run and how many calories you have consumed will be displayed on the smart screen next to it."
Walking to the bus stop, "Look at this digital bus station, you can see the weather forecast, real-time bus location, and route information." Li Chao (李超) introduced that in the past, villagers had to take the bus to the town or urban area to see a doctor; now, electronic health records have been established for all registered residents, and through the "health brain" of the village's smart health service station, they can directly register at their doorstep. They don't have to leave the village to see minor illnesses and do routine check-ups. If they encounter difficult and complicated diseases, they can also have remote consultations. 日子越来越好了 (rì zi yuè lái yuè hǎo le - "life is getting better and better," describes the improving quality of life).

Why are people willing to come to Meilin Village (梅林村)?
Good scenery, coupled with convenient living conditions and modern service facilities, attracts not only tourists, but also a large number of "new villagers." The "new villagers" take root and continue to contribute to the construction of a beautiful countryside, giving rise to new consumer formats such as rural cafes and experience workshops. Gathering momentum and attracting traffic, turning "traffic" into "retention," and then into "incremental growth," rural development has entered an organic and healthy state of growth.
With consumption upgrades, people who yearn for poetic living expect not only beautiful rural scenery from the countryside, but also basic living conditions such as access to water, roads, and electricity, as well as the convenience of city-like worry-free charging, high-speed internet, and home delivery, as well as new business formats that are eye-catching.
In Wuyuan (婺源), Jiangxi (江西), bird-watching stations were built, attracting photography enthusiasts. Last year, bird-watching income accounted for 7.5% of the comprehensive tourism income, driving 23,000 farmers to increase their income and become rich. In Anshun (安顺), Guizhou (贵州), the thousands-of-meter-level bridges in the mountainous canyons have spawned projects such as high-altitude bungee jumping, rapid descent, and aerial restaurants, enjoying the new dividends of bridge-tourism integration.
These vivid practices of rural development are inseparable from the resonance of all parties. The government clarifies the characteristic positioning of the countryside, and the policies are precisely focused, so that the "poetry" does not go out of shape; the market is liberalized, and villagers and "new villagers" with vision and drive discover and create beauty, turning "earth clods" into "gold nuggets."
In the first quarter, the total number of rural tourism receptions and total income nationwide increased by 8.9% and 5.6% year-on-year, respectively. Meeting people's beautiful yearning for poetic living, the rural market has great potential.

First, create a model of cross-regional opening-up. Build the three parties into a shared major market with more efficient circulation of resources, technology, and talent, and freer and more convenient trade and investment. Second, create a model of cooperation across development stages. On the basis of mutual respect and equal treatment, deepen the alignment of the three parties' development strategies, strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination, and strengthen industrial collaboration. Third, create a model of cross-civilizational integration. Promote deeper people-to-people exchanges among the three parties, further consolidate the foundation of mutual trust, practice the Global Civilization Initiative, and build consensus and strength for more peaceful development.
Li Qiang (李强) pointed out that China is willing to strengthen the tripartite partnership with ASEAN and the GCC, discuss and formulate a high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" action plan, strengthen the connection and communication of infrastructure and market rules, expand cooperation in energy, agriculture, artificial intelligence, digital economy, green and low-carbon fields, and promote people-to-people exchanges and connectivity. China is willing to provide more visa facilitation to ASEAN and GCC countries. Looking at the world, the three parties should strengthen communication and coordination within multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations, safeguard the common interests of developing countries, 旗帜鲜明 (qí zhì xiān míng - "distinct banner," to take a clear-cut stand) oppose hegemonism and power politics, and promote global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction.

Sichuan Province (四川省) is one of the 13 major grain-producing provinces in China, and also the only major grain-producing province in the western region. In March of this year, a reporter from this newspaper came to Zhongjiang County (中江县), the province's largest grain-producing county, to interview the construction of local high-standard farmland and record the high-tech scenes in the intelligent wheat fields.
The green wheat seedlings at that time are now covered with golden wheat ears, and more than 370,000 mu of wheat in Zhongjiang County (中江县) have ushered in a harvest moment. How is the harvest this year? Are the villagers' rush to harvest, transport, and store going smoothly? At the end of May, the reporter came to Zhongjiang County (中江县) again to see the harvest season in the Shu region and the transformation of fertile fields into granaries.
——Editor
Standing on the ridge of the field, Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫), a large grain grower in Yuxing Town (玉兴镇), Zhongjiang County (中江县), bent down to grab a handful of wheat ears, rubbed them a few times, and blew gently.
"Click," the wheat grains in his mouth were half broken, and the aroma of wheat overflowed. "This is ripe, it can be harvested!" Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫) raised his eyebrows.
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and made two calls.
The first call was to the harvester operator. It was agreed in advance, and the harvester operator responded cheerfully on the phone. In the town, Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫) has transferred 1,200 mu of land to grow wheat, and is a "sweet pastry" in the eyes of agricultural socialization service organizations. "Machine harvesting costs more than 40 yuan per mu. High-standard farmland is efficient and harvests quickly," said Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫).
The second call was to Li Jiulin (李久林), general manager of the Yuxing Town (玉兴镇) Comprehensive Agricultural Service Center. The service center collects and stores wheat, and sells it to flour mills and national grain reserves, etc. Hearing that Zeng Jinxin's (曾金鑫) wheat was starting to be harvested, Li Jiulin (李久林) repeatedly agreed, "I'll send a car right away, it'll be there in a while!"
Before long, the harvester arrived first and skillfully drove down the field.
"It's very convenient now, just a phone call away," said Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫). The County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau (县农业农村局) has also established a WeChat group for large grain growers. When harvesting is needed, a request is sent in the group, and agricultural socialization service organizations will quickly "take the order."
Agricultural mechanization is not only increasing harvesting efficiency. "One machine can harvest forty or fifty mu a day," said Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫). The harvester can also crush the straw and return it to the field, which also increases soil fertility.
As the grain was being harvested, the service center's grain transport vehicle also arrived. The harvester drove onto the small road, poured the grain, loaded the vehicle, and soon, thousands of kilograms of wheat were fully loaded.
"Recently, there have been consecutive sunny days, and the wheat can be sold directly without drying," said Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫). "The service center has cooperation with large grain growers. As long as the moisture content meets the standard, it can be transported directly."
Loaded with grain, the grain transport vehicle arrived at the service center, weighed it, and stored it directly. The wheat was stored in the warehouse. "This year's yield is estimated to be about 1,000 jin per mu, and 1,200 mu of land is expected to harvest more than 600 tons," said Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫). Integrated collection and storage eliminates intermediate links, greatly reducing grain loss. The service center will also promptly push grain price change information to facilitate everyone's understanding of market conditions.
The conveyor belt is running in a cycle, and grain transport vehicles come and go. In the service center, hundreds of tons of grain are piled up. "Recently, we have been purchasing more than 700 tons of wheat every day, mostly from large grain growers," said Li Jiulin (李久林). The center has also introduced 6 drying production lines to improve grain drying efficiency.
The summer harvest is in full swing, and planting is also proceeding in an orderly manner. "After harvesting the wheat, we will immediately release water and slurry," said Zeng Jinxin (曾金鑫).
In Xuguang Village (旭光村), Yuxing Town (玉兴镇), 73-year-old Luo Dayou (罗大友) is managing his own 6 mu of sloping land. "I just finished harvesting a few days ago, and today I contacted a rotary tiller to till the soil and return it to the field." Some of the sloping land plots in the area are small and the terrain is steep, so large machinery cannot be used. "Thanks to the small rotary tiller, it is convenient and flexible. I don't have to do it myself, and it's several times faster." After rotary tillage, Luo Dayou (罗大友) has planned to irrigate and transplant rice seedlings one by one.
Chen Zhenglong (陈正龙), chief agronomist of the Zhongjiang County (中江县) Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau (农业农村局), introduced that relying on the county, township, and village three-level promotion network, the County Agricultural Technology Extension Center (县农技推广中心) and township agricultural technology stations are organizing agricultural technology, agricultural machinery, and other agricultural science and technology service personnel to go deep into the fields to provide timely services. "More than 370,000 mu of wheat in the county are being harvested at an accelerated pace, and it is expected to be completed before the Dragon Boat Festival, and rice transplanting will also be carried out successively," said Chen Zhenglong (陈正龙).

Honorable Prime Minister Anwar (安瓦尔),
Distinguished guests, entrepreneurs, ladies and gentlemen:
It is a great pleasure to gather with you in Kuala Lumpur to jointly participate in the opening ceremony of the ASEAN-China-GCC Trilateral Economic Forum.
Today, the ASEAN-China-GCC summit was successfully held, agreeing to strengthen the trilateral partnership and opening a new chapter of trilateral cooperation. At the meeting, leaders of various countries had in-depth discussions on the theme of "Creating Opportunities and Sharing Prosperity." There was a general consensus that the current global political and economic landscape is undergoing profound and complex changes, the common challenges faced by the development of various countries have increased significantly, development opportunities are becoming scarcer and more valuable, and strengthening cooperation is more urgent and requires more foresight. I feel that such discussions are very meaningful and should be extended to all aspects, including the business community, so as to gather wisdom and consensus on a larger scale. On this occasion, I would like to share three points of view with you.
First, in today's era, working together to meet challenges is creating opportunities. At present, economic globalization is experiencing unprecedented major shocks, and the long-held values of peaceful development and win-win cooperation are facing severe challenges. Our joint response to these issues will bring important opportunities to the trilateral countries. Faced with the intensification of geopolitical conflicts and confrontation, we insist on deepening mutual trust and enhancing unity, which can create long-term strategic opportunities. The rapid development of Asia in the past few decades profoundly shows that unity, mutual trust, peace and stability can bring development and prosperity. Countries are an integral whole with interconnected destinies. If mutual trust is lacking, contradictions will breed and amplify, and cooperation will be out of the question. Strengthening unity and mutual trust can provide strategic support to each other, bring about greater and more sustainable high-level economic cooperation, and achieve long-term stable development. Faced with the rise of protectionism and unilateralism, we insist on expanding opening up and eliminating barriers, which can create broad market opportunities. The trilateral countries are all beneficiaries of economic globalization and have gained great development opportunities in integrating into the world market. The interconnection and intercommunication of the trilateral markets will form one of the world's largest regional markets, releasing a multiplier effect and allowing countries to achieve more abundant sharing of interests in building a large market together. Faced with the increasing "decoupling and chain breaking" and "building walls and barriers," we insist on sharing resources and empowering each other, which can create opportunities for transformation and upgrading. The trilateral countries have different resource endowments and industrial structures. Actively participating in international industrial cooperation, using one's own advantages to empower other countries, and using the advantages of other countries to develop oneself can achieve optimal allocation of resources and enhance the industrial effectiveness and sustainable development momentum of various countries.
Second, the friendly cooperation between China, ASEAN, and GCC countries has a long history and a promising future. From the time when China's first camel caravan arrived in the Middle East and the first fleet arrived in Southeast Asia more than 2,000 years ago, the economic, trade and cultural exchanges between the trilateral countries have spanned more than 20 centuries and have always been continuous and enduring. Standing on the profound historical accumulation, the trilateral cooperation will surely continue to write new glories. We will have more ample development space. The total population and economic volume of the trilateral countries account for about a quarter of the world's total, but the current total trade volume only accounts for about 5% of the world's total, and there is still great potential. With the continuous deepening of trilateral cooperation, it will form a continuous stream of trade and investment increments, which will strongly promote the development of various countries and the growth of enterprises. We will have a higher level of economic benefits. The smooth flow of factors and the connection and coordination of industries in the trilateral countries mean the formation of lower-cost energy resources, a more efficient logistics system, more convenient financial services, and more advanced technological support, which will significantly enhance the competitiveness and resilience of the trilateral economies and achieve more efficient and safer development. We will have a more vibrant innovation ecosystem. Innovation in the trilateral countries is very active and has its own characteristics. Strengthening cooperation will promote the exchange and mutual learning of innovative talents and the integration and complementarity of advantages among countries, provide high-quality R&D support and rich application scenarios for innovation and creation, nurture more new industries and new business forms, and further enhance the strength and status of the trilateral countries in the global innovation landscape.
The blue ocean of trilateral cooperation is vast and boundless, and we need to take practical actions to better grasp and shape the future. China is willing to work with ASEAN and GCC countries to strengthen the alignment of development strategies, deepen regional integration cooperation, and improve the level of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation. At the same time, we need to firmly uphold the multilateral trading system with the WTO as the core and promote the creation of a stable and orderly international market environment. Faced with a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, we must work together to seize the first opportunity, expand cooperation in high-tech fields, maintain the stability and smooth flow of industrial chains and supply chains, and constantly create a new situation of common development for the trilateral parties.
Third, China will continuously inject new impetus into trilateral cooperation with its own high-quality development. In terms of development trends, since the beginning of this year, China's economy has continued to rebound and improve. In the first quarter, GDP increased by 5.4% year-on-year, ranking among the top among major economies in the world. Industry has maintained strong development, and the added value of industries above designated size increased by 6.4% year-on-year from January to April. Foreign trade exports have maintained strong resilience under external pressure, with a year-on-year increase of 7.5% from January to April. New driving forces continue to grow and expand. From January to April, the added value of the high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 9.8% year-on-year, investment in the high-tech service industry increased by 11.3%, the production and sales of new energy vehicles both exceeded 4 million, and smart factories covered more than 80% of the major categories of the manufacturing industry. These achievements fully demonstrate the strong stability of the Chinese economy. As President Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The Chinese economy is a sea, not a small pond." This sea can withstand the baptism of storms, and after each storm, it will only become more profound, heavy, inclusive and open.
In terms of macro policies, in the face of risks and challenges brought about by the external environment, we have clearly put forward a more proactive and promising macro policy orientation, implemented a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, the scale of fiscal expenditure has reached a record high, and the intensity of macro-financial aggregate regulation has been significantly increased, providing strong support for the expansion of total social demand. In the next step, we will continue to increase the intensity of counter-cyclical adjustment according to changes in the situation. No matter what challenges we encounter in the future, we have the ability and confidence to keep the Chinese economy on a steady course.
In terms of strategic orientation, China is an ultra-large-scale economy, and domestic demand-led and internal circulation are the unique advantages of a large economy. We will put more of the strategic focus of development on expanding domestic demand and strengthening the domestic cycle, and constantly enhance the internal driving force of the Chinese economy. We are accelerating the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand, carrying out special actions to boost consumption, and tilting more policy resources towards the field of consumption, which will release huge demand potential. We are also further comprehensively deepening reforms and accelerating the promotion of industrial upgrading, intelligence, and green transformation, which will also create more new demands. The broad depth of the Chinese economy can provide a huge market for high-quality products from various countries. We will unswervingly expand high-level opening up, introduce more autonomous opening up and unilateral opening up measures, promote the mutual promotion of domestic and international dual cycles, and allow enterprises from ASEAN and GCC countries and countries around the world to fully share China's development opportunities.
Ladies and gentlemen, friends,
Cooperation is the only correct answer to overcome common challenges. China is willing to work with ASEAN and GCC countries to promote steady economic growth through deeper opening up and cooperation, and work together to create opportunities and share prosperity.
Thank you all!

From May 26th to 27th, the 2025高峰论坛 (Gāofēng Lùntán - Summit Forum) for Building a Strong Cultural Nation was held in Shenzhen (深圳), Guangdong (广东). Thoroughly studying and implementing Xi Jinping (习近平)'s cultural thought and the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, this forum, themed "Deepening the Reform of Cultural System and Mechanism and Stimulating Cultural Innovation and Creativity," held sub-forums focusing on ten aspects, including "Constructing an Independent Knowledge System of Chinese Philosophy and Social Sciences," "Systematic Transformation of Mainstream Media," "Prospering Literary and Artistic Creation," "Strengthening the Protection and Inheritance of Cultural Heritage," "Deep Integration and Development of Publishing," "High-Quality Development of the Film Industry," "Integrated Development of Culture and Technology," "Digital Intelligence Empowering Cultural Trade," "Building Urban Civilization and Enhancing People's Well-being," and "Humanistic Bay Area and Digital Intelligence Bay Area." Participating guests conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges. The forum achieved fruitful results, uniting a powerful driving force for building a strong cultural nation.
Anchoring Goals and Continuing the Chinese Cultural Heritage
Building a strong cultural nation is related to the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the enhancement of international competitiveness.
Building a strong cultural nation requires consolidating cultural subjectivity. Qiang Shigong (强世功), Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Minzu University of China (中央民族大学), stated that Chinese civilization is creating a new form of human civilization, and the history of the evolution of the Chinese national community is a history of the integration of all ethnic groups, as well as a modern epic of all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.
Li Yi (李毅), Vice President (Vice Dean) and Professor of the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC (National Academy of Governance) (中央党校（国家行政学院）), stated that to face the world with an international vision and global awareness, it is necessary to be rooted in China's historical environment and construct an independent knowledge system of Chinese philosophy and social sciences.
Building a strong cultural nation requires liberating and developing cultural productive forces. Wang Jun (王军), former member of the Standing Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Xi'an (西安) Municipal Committee of Shaanxi Province (陕西省), believes that "an independent knowledge system of Chinese literature and art should be constructed with mass literature and new mass literature as the main line."
"《Black Myth: Wukong》, 《Ne Zha》, and the global trend sparked by DeepSeek indicate that China is opening a new era of a strong cultural nation with 'soft power + hard technology'," said Gong Zhengwen (龚政文), Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of Hunan Broadcasting Film and Television Group Co., Ltd. (Hunan Broadcasting Television) (湖南广播影视集团有限公司（湖南广播电视台）).
Building a strong cultural nation requires inheriting and promoting outstanding traditional Chinese culture. "The 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization has seen the Chinese people's cultural outlook gradually deepen and evolve in the process of layered accumulation," said Alai (阿来), Vice Chairman of the Chinese Writers Association (中国作协).
Retaining cultural memories such as "wok ear walls" and "dragon boat docks," and creating an immersive experience scene for the digital museum of Guangzhou arcade buildings... Chen Xiaojian (陈晓建), Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Provincial Civilization Office (广东省委宣传部), stated that Guangdong (广东) should adhere to the "two combinations" to allow Lingnan (岭南) culture to bloom with the brilliance of the times in inheritance and innovation.
Reform Stimulates Innovation and Creativity
Participating guests stated that reform stimulates innovation and creativity.
Zhang Zhiqiang (张志强), Director of the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (中国社会科学院哲学研究所), stated that Chinese civilization has continued for thousands of years and has endured numerous hardships because the Chinese nation can continuously grasp the historical initiative, fully promote cultural subjectivity, and promote the development of Chinese civilization through continuous innovation.
Li Peng (李鹏), Secretary of the Party Committee, Director, and Editor-in-Chief of Chongqing Broadcasting and Television Group (General Station) (重庆广播电视集团（总台）), said that the systematic transformation of mainstream media is not piecemeal, but a systematic advancement from head to toe, inside and out, and from top to bottom; it is not an expedient measure of treating the head when it hurts and the foot when it hurts, but a far-sighted plan that adheres to problem orientation and result orientation; it is not simply adding more platform accounts, but a thorough integration and comprehensive renewal of media resources.
"As far as literary and artistic creation is concerned, 'how to write' is certainly important, but 'what to write' and 'who is writing' are equally important," said Xie Youshun (谢有顺), Chairman of the Guangdong Writers Association and Professor of the Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University (广东省作协主席、中山大学中文系教授). When more and more creators are willing to write their own stories and express their feelings, the power of literature and art will be brought into play.
From woodblock printing to movable type printing, and then to digital typesetting and online communication, each technological update is a paradigm shift in the publishing field. Wang Xiaoguang (王晓光), Dean of the School of Information Management of Wuhan University (武汉大学信息管理学院), believes that the integrated development of publishing lies not only in the technological innovation of media forms, but also in the deep transformation of content production towards data operation and intelligent services.
Xue Shubo (薛树柏), founder of Black Flame Linkage Technology Co., Ltd. (黑焰联动科技有限公司), introduced that in film and game creation, the team will conduct in-depth field investigations and research, excavate historical and cultural elements such as traditional patterns, architectural styles, clothing props, etc., and attract more young people to understand outstanding traditional Chinese culture through innovative expressions.
"The scenes in 《Ne Zha》 need to be more refined and have extremely high visual effects density," said Shi Chaoqun (石超群), visual effects director of 《Ne Zha》. "Five years ago, Chinese animators were still exploring industrialization. Now we have proven to the world that Chinese visual effects teams can not only fight tough battles, but also win them."
Digital Intelligence Technology Empowers Integrated Development
Culture and technology promote each other. Explore effective mechanisms for the integration of culture and technology, realize the digital empowerment and information transformation of cultural construction, and transform the advantages of cultural resources into the advantages of cultural development.
Shen Zhuanghai (沈壮海), Executive Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Wuhan University (武汉大学党委常务副书记), stated that it is necessary to always keenly grasp the new progress of digital intelligence technology, promote the deep integration of cultural construction and digital intelligence technology, better promote the innovation of cultural creation and production processes, promote the direct access and effective infiltration of excellent cultural resources to the grassroots, and promote the deep activation and full release of cultural power in the process of Chinese-style modernization.
As of 2024, the Dunhuang Research Academy (敦煌研究院) has completed digital photography collection of 300 caves, image stitching of 200 caves, and production of panoramic roaming programs for 169 caves. Su Bomin (苏伯民), Dean of the Dunhuang Research Academy, said that technology empowers the protection of cultural heritage, creates immersive experiences, and helps promote the global digital dissemination and cross-civilization dialogue of Dunhuang (敦煌) culture.
Xie Guangcai (谢广才), Executive Vice President of ChineseAll Digital Publishing Group (中文在线集团), believes that technological changes are accelerating the evolution of the publishing industry from "traditional publishing" to "integrated publishing," and further developing towards "digital intelligence publishing."
Xu Panyi Ru (徐潘依如), a reporter from China Daily and host of the Qidi Studio (起底工作室), said that "everyone is a media" means that "who owns the microphone" is no longer important, but what is important is "who can cross the algorithm and reach people's hearts."
Tang Weiwei (汤维维), Senior Vice President of Xiaohongshu (小红书) Group, used the example of foreign netizens settling on the Xiaohongshu platform this year to tell the story of the leap from "text conversion" to "cultural decoding," believing that "when technology is deeply rooted in the human heart, boundaries will eventually turn into bridges" and "the future belongs to innovators who combine technology with humanistic insights."
"The value of technology lies in its breaking down geographical barriers and eliminating language barriers, making cultural exchanges as natural as breathing," said Li Zishu (李子树), Vice President of Public Affairs of Tencent Group (腾讯集团).
Continuously Deepen Exchanges and Mutual Learning Among Civilizations
It is necessary to establish a view of civilization based on equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness, to transcend civilization estrangement with civilization exchanges, to transcend civilization conflicts with civilization mutual learning, and to transcend civilization superiority with civilization coexistence.
Huang Jin (黄进), Professor of the Institute of International Rule of Law of Wuhan University (武汉大学国际法治研究院), stated that an important aspect of constructing China's global discourse system is to achieve a globally integrated expression. The global discourse system is by no means a monologue or self-talk of a certain country, and it must break through the limitations of regional culture.
Wu Zhiliang (吴志良), Deputy Director of the Committee for Cultural, Historical and Learning Affairs of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and President of the Macao Culture and Art Federation (全国政协文化文史和学习委员会副主任、澳门文化界联合总会会长), stated that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (粤港澳大湾区) has three cultural attributes, namely, the forefront of the continuous development of Chinese civilization, the experimental platform for socialist cultural innovation, and the dialogue window for the common values of mankind in the era of globalization.
"We should always maintain a comparative perspective, find out the commonalities of cultures in various countries around the world, and learn from the experience of other countries in protecting old cities in urban development and renewal," said Li Xiaocong (李孝聪), retired professor of the Department of History and the Research Center for Ancient Chinese History of Peking University (北京大学历史学系暨中国古代史研究中心).
"Film workers should learn from the outstanding literary and artistic achievements created by people from all over the world with a broader vision, a broader mind, and a more confident attitude, integrate Chinese and foreign cultures, connect ancient and modern times, and realize the prosperity of Chinese films in an open atmosphere," said Mao Yu (毛羽), Deputy Director of the Film Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department (中宣部电影局), who presides over the daily work.
Wang Qiang (王强), member of the Standing Committee of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee and Minister of the United Front Work Department (深圳市委常委、统战部部长), introduced that Shenzhen (深圳) adheres to "long-termism" in urban cultural creation in the "short-term accumulation" of culture. The original dance drama 《Wing Chun》 has achieved a double harvest of reputation and box office by inheriting and innovating outstanding traditional Chinese culture, and has spread across borders in Singapore (新加坡), the United Kingdom (英国), France (法国), Russia (俄罗斯) and other countries.
"In 2025, the virtual reality film 《Tang Palace Night Banquet》 empowered by digital intelligence will be unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival. This work has won widespread attention and high praise for its ingenious integration of technology and art," said Lu Shenyong (卢慎勇), member of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of Henan Broadcasting Television (河南广播电视台). "We will continue to increase investment in cutting-edge technology, deepen exchanges and cooperation with cultural institutions at home and abroad, and contribute more to enhancing the country's cultural soft power and the influence of Chinese culture."

"Adhering to rules and discipline allows one to have ample freedom and broad space for starting and developing undertakings." General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important exposition profoundly elucidates the inherent unity between the Party's discipline and starting/developing undertakings, and profoundly reveals the dialectical relationship between discipline and freedom.
Discipline and rules are the standards of conduct for Party members and cadres. Freedom is enjoyed within the scope of the standards, and punishment is imposed outside the scope. Discipline and rules are also like a "safety railing." Within the safety railing, the words and deeds of Party members and cadres are fully free. Faced with the overall environment of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, and faced with an increasingly tight network of discipline and rules, some individual Party members and cadres feel unaccustomed and uncomfortable, and feel that "work cannot be done." All of this is a mistaken belief that discipline and rules restrict the freedom to start and develop undertakings. It must be seen that there has never been unrestricted freedom in the world. What the Party's discipline has always opposed is not freedom, but liberalism. Adhering to rules and discipline will not only not restrict the hands and feet of starting and developing undertakings, but will also allow Party members and cadres to have ample freedom and broad space for starting and developing undertakings.
Adhering to rules and discipline is a thorough self-"burden reduction," reducing the burdens brought about by various improper actions. Mencius said, "People have things they will not do, and then they can do things." The meaning is that people can only achieve something if they give up doing certain things. This is also true for Party members and cadres. The introduction and implementation of the Central Eight-Point Regulation (中央八项规定) has freed Party members and cadres from cumbersome formalities and put more energy into starting and developing undertakings. By analogy, if Party members and cadres abide by the Party's discipline and resolutely refrain from doing anything prohibited by Party regulations and discipline, they will be clean and have greater physical and mental freedom and a better state of mind to focus on starting and developing undertakings. On the contrary, looking at some negative examples in recent years, some of them are busy with socializing and gatherings, pursuing pleasure, and indulging in hobbies, while others are busy with image projects and performance projects, and some are even busy with power-for-power transactions, power-for-money transactions, and power-for-sex transactions. Their hearts are enslaved by material things, and their bodies are burdened by interests. How can they have the mind to invest in career development?
Adhering to rules and discipline is an effective self-"empowerment," empowering the uprightness of being open-minded and daring to struggle. People who adhere to rules and discipline must have an open, selfless, and firm heart, and dare to take responsibility, dare to struggle, and dare to grasp and manage. On the contrary, if they do not strictly abide by rules and discipline, and have "flaws" and "shortcomings" themselves, they will be worried about gains and losses, and always worry about being "controlled" or "involved." How can they dare to face contradictions and solve problems? At present, facing the complex situation of the deepening adverse effects of external environmental changes and the increasing internal risks and challenges, Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, need to carry forward the spirit of responsibility and the spirit of struggle, take the initiative in the face of opportunities, meet difficulties head-on, and actively respond to risks, so as to win the initiative in their work. And the courage to dare to take responsibility and dare to struggle largely stems from the confidence of adhering to rules and discipline, being open-minded and selfless.
Firm revolutionaries regard discipline as freedom. Once adhering to rules and discipline becomes a habit and is internalized into personal discipline and self-cultivation, it can enable people to obtain true physical and mental freedom. Adhering to rules and discipline is no longer forced by external pressure, but follows the call of the heart, and is self-consistent, free, and comfortable, reaching the state of 从心所欲不逾矩 (cóng xīn suǒ yù bù yú jǔ - "follow what the heart desires without overstepping the boundaries," to do as one pleases without violating the rules).
This is a higher level of freedom that completely abandons willfulness, and it is also a state that the vast number of Party members and cadres should unremittingly pursue at present.
Return to TopThis newspaper's Beijing (北京) dispatch on May 27th (Reporter Han Xin (韩鑫)) On the morning of the 27th, in Yantai City (烟台市), Shandong (山东) Province, the Ministry of Transport (交通运输部) organized the 2025 Maritime Rescue and Flood Prevention Comprehensive Exercise and Training for the rescue and salvage system. This exercise and training is the largest maritime search and rescue exercise and training in China's northern sea area in recent years. Through full-scene simulation of maritime rescue combat, it tests China's maritime professional rescue and salvage forces' rapid response and linkage capabilities before the flood season and typhoon season arrive. Seven professional rescue and salvage vessels, two rescue helicopters, and one emergency rescue team participated in the exercise and training.
During this year's Dragon Boat Festival holiday, it is estimated that inter-provincial passenger ro-ro ships in the northern sea area will carry approximately 27,000 passengers, and land-island transportation will carry approximately 55,000 passengers.

Return to Top**Participants:**
Zhou Shanshan (周珊珊), *Beijing Daily* Commentator
Hu Yuqi (胡宇齐), *Beijing Daily* Commentator
Zhou Shanshan (周珊珊): The debut economy is very hot. From the "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee to the Central Economic Work Conference at the end of last year, the debut economy was mentioned. Specifically in Beijing (北京), since 2019, a number of documents and measures have been introduced successively. Among them, the "Several Measures to Promote the High-Quality Development of the First Store and First Release Economy" issued in March 2022 expanded the first store economy to the debut economy. What's the difference between the first store and the debut?
Hu Yuqi (胡宇齐): From the first store to the debut, although there is only one word difference, the economic form is more diverse, the extension is richer, and it also reflects the upgrading of development ideas.
As the name implies, the first store is the first store opened by a brand in a certain region; and the so-called debut economy refers to a series of economic activities characterized by "first," such as enterprises releasing new products, launching new formats, new models, new services, new technologies, and opening first stores. For example, the release of new mobile phones, the entry of new technologies, and the welcoming of new exhibitions are not first stores, but they all fall into the category of the debut economy.
The concept is leaping, and the unchanged "first" character is the key. Vigorously cultivating the debut economy contains an emphasis on innovation and creativity, a cherishing of development momentum, and also brings profound changes. Beijing's (北京) previous policies to encourage the first stores of brands have now been extended to vigorously support the diverse forms of the debut economy. All kinds of first stores have come one after another, and trendy IPs have been updated in turn. From gastronomic feasts to cross-border trendy toys, from fashion premieres to cool technology, the constantly opening surprise "blind boxes" make the city more attractive in new consumption.
Zhou Shanshan (周珊珊): Looking at the whole country, the debut economy has become a new track for various places to compete for. Beijing's (北京) debut economy is large in scale and highly concentrated, many of which are global first stores or Asia-Pacific first stores, and national first stores. What did Beijing (北京) do right? What are the unique advantages, and what are the replicable experiences?
Hu Yuqi (胡宇齐): When a brand chooses a city for its debut, it values not only the market volume, but also the comprehensive factors such as consumption trends, institutional dividends, and innovation environment.
Beijing (北京) is the national political center, cultural center, international exchange center, and technological innovation center, and is also vigorously building an international consumption center city. Rich international resources, profound cultural heritage, distinct innovative temperament, and urban consumption scale ranking among the top in the country have converged into Beijing's (北京) strong magnetic force for first stores.
In addition to "unique advantages," there is also "careful cultivation." In terms of policy guidance, Beijing (北京) has opened a green service channel and provided real money to support the settlement of brand first stores. In terms of creating a consumption environment, it has established popular landmarks, upgraded consumption formats, and created labels such as "young," "dynamic," and "international." For example, the commercial space "THE BOX Chaowai (朝外)" has targeted young people since its inception, creating new ways of playing such as "curatorial retail." This "Generation Z" trend landmark has also become Beijing's (北京) new "first store harvester." Various places combine their own resource endowments, clarify their positioning, and make precise efforts. If you plant a phoenix tree, you will attract phoenixes. And differentiated development is also an important way to surpass homogeneous competition and avoid "a thousand cities with one face."
Zhou Shanshan (周珊珊): During this year's "May Day" holiday, many of Beijing's (北京) first stores, first streets, and first pavilions opened to welcome guests, and the debut economy strongly "diverted traffic" for the capital's holiday consumption. For consumers, the debut economy provides a sense of freshness and participation. However, how to continue the popularity of the debut after the "**一招鲜**" (yī zhāo xiān - "one trick fresh," a single trick or method that is initially effective) is the focus that needs to be considered. Avoiding problems such as emphasizing form over content, emphasizing quantity over quality, and lacking systematic design and industrial chain collaboration can turn "trying new things" into a "long-term" development and bring more sustainable development "long tail."
Hu Yuqi (胡宇齐): Consumers are willing to "try new things" because of the trendy products, fresh experiences, and high-quality services provided by the debut, but the key to transforming "traffic" into "retention" is to ensure the quality of the debut economy.
To put it bluntly, a "pseudo-debut" that relies on hype is destined to be short-lived. To develop the debut economy, if it is separated from local development stages, functional positioning, resource endowments, industrial foundations, and other conditions, it is difficult to form chain development and industrial ecological agglomeration effects. For some debut projects with low quality, we must never "**捡到篮子里都是菜**" (jiǎn dào lán zi lǐ dōu shì cài - "everything in the basket is a vegetable," accepting anything and everything without discrimination).
Continuing the popularity of the debut calls for continuous innovation. Innovation entities such as enterprises should upgrade and iterate with a sense of urgency, and new ways of playing and new experiences can be continuously generated. Policy guidance should also cover the entire life cycle of the debut economy, providing sufficient sunshine and rain, especially paying attention to the difficulties and pain points of enterprises. Various entities work together to build a virtuous cycle of "innovation-feedback-iteration," and the debut economy is expected to surpass the short-term "hit logic."
Zhou Shanshan (周珊珊): What is the focus of Beijing's (北京) development of the debut economy in the future? How to combine the construction of an international consumption center city, give play to the advantages of opening up, and attract more debuts, premieres, exhibitions, and first stores from around the world to land?
Hu Yuqi (胡宇齐): At present, the debut economy is surging, and major cities are rushing to learn from each other. In the process, they should also pay attention to basing themselves on their endowments and giving play to their characteristics. As the national cultural center, Beijing (北京) has a rich historical heritage and a unique urban temperament. In the ancient building museum, the caisson ceiling refrigerator magnet of the Palace of Heaven has become a top seller; in the "most transgressive" hutong, the "innovating with the ancient" debut exhibition opened... The above-mentioned debut forms are in harmony with the city's culture.
In the process of cultivating and building an international consumption center city, Beijing (北京) is increasingly becoming an international metropolis with high overseas visibility and influence. Especially with the popularity of "China Travel," there are more and more foreign tourists on the streets of Beijing (北京). In the open exchange of "you come and I go," local brands have gained more exposure opportunities. Continuously improving originality and optimizing the oriental interpretation and innovative expression of trends and art, this topic from "first introduction" to "first creation" is a greater test of urban wisdom and requires everyone to work together to answer.
Zhou Shanshan (周珊珊): Around the debut economy, Shanghai (上海) is forming an evolving "industrial ecosystem"; Nanjing (南京), Jiangsu (江苏) is building diversified commercial carriers to form a good ecology for the debut economy; Xi'an (西安), Shaanxi (陕西) combines the debut with the creation of new consumption scenarios, new carriers, and new formats to unlock the city's consumption password... The vivid practices of various places illustrate that the debut economy is a three-dimensional development idea. The debut gathers customers and diverts traffic, which can exert a "chain effect," meet the diverse needs of consumers, enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises and brands, and continuously enhance the city's energy level. At the same time, it can also exert an innovative demonstration effect, radiate and drive the development of surrounding industries, and promote the continuous emergence of new technologies, new services, and new formats. The vigorous development of the debut economy is a testament to the strong resilience, great potential, and sufficient vitality of China's (中国) consumer market, and it is also a new space for further promoting the high-quality development of the economy and society.
Hu Yuqi (胡宇齐): First, looking at the consumption side, high-quality first stores and new creative models refresh the urban commercial landscape and drive a comprehensive upgrade of offline consumption experience. As the debut becomes a trend, consumers' pursuit of new things and quality life will directly promote brand aggregation and upgrading, consumption quality improvement and expansion, and activate a pool of spring water for economic development.
Looking at the production side again, the emphasis on innovation in the debut economy will also promote the formation of a chain effect of factors such as capital, talent, data, and technology on the industrial chain, and promote industrial transformation and upgrading. In Haidian (海淀), the first artificial intelligence innovation block has started planning and construction; in Yizhuang (亦庄), the "Rocket Street" flew the world's first liquid oxygen methane carrier rocket; in Yanqing (延庆), the first drone delivery route was opened... The future content in Beijing's (北京) debut cases is considerable and perceptible.
The debut economy is a story about innovation and the future, co-created by cities, enterprises, and consumers. A debut scene drives the growth of a batch of brands, and an institutional innovation leverages an industrial upgrade. It is believed that the hot practice of the debut economy will better write a moving chapter of high-quality development.

How can the flame be kept burning? It is necessary to study the market's "taste." Integrating into modern life, the new expression of old craftsmanship allows traditional culture to "live."
Participating together to form a strong cultural atmosphere can also better inherit traditional crafts. Just as our Dong ethnic group's traditional pattern "Three Fish Sharing a Head" symbolizing unity and harmony inspires us, if we think in the same direction and work together, our lives will surely flourish.
Clothing is history and culture worn on the body. I was born in Zhaoxing Dong Village (肇兴侗寨), Liping County (黎平县), Guizhou Province (贵州省). The inheritance of Dong cloth dyeing and weaving techniques is like a stream flowing for thousands of years, nourishing the lives of generations. When I was a child, my grandfather opened a dyehouse, specializing in making clothes for the villagers. The fragrance of Dong cloth indigo dye permeated my entire childhood. After growing up, more and more young people in the village rushed to the cities, the old looms were covered with dust, and the brilliance of Dong cloth gradually faded. I realized that if this stream is not protected, it will eventually dry up.
Inheritance requires a market. In the past, Dong cloth dyeing and weaving were mostly used for the daily wear of the clan, and the self-sufficient model made business difficult to "scale up." With the rise of tourism in Zhaoxing Dong Village (肇兴侗寨), tourists' interest in Dong ethnic costumes has gradually increased, bringing business opportunities. In 2013, I opened a batik shop in the village, but soon after, I found that whether it was organizing the embroidery women in various villages to produce or revitalizing the idle assets in the village, one person was weak. "Doing it alone" is not as good as "doing it together"! With the encouragement and help of the village cadres, I and six partners established a farmers' professional cooperative, leading the embroidery women to make ethnic characteristic tourist commodities. Now, we have more than 200 members, and last year's output value reached 18 million yuan. The commercialization of Dong cloth has made our pockets bulging and our hearts happy. When culture encounters the market, inheritance has a flame and development has power.
How can the flame be kept burning? It is necessary to study the market's "taste." I tried to combine ethnic patterns with modern designs and use traditional craftsmanship to embroider modern styles. In this process, some embroidery women did not understand this innovation. But if you don't use cooking to stimulate the umami taste of the ingredients, how can the delicacies be fragrant? I demonstrated to them stitch by stitch and explained patiently. When the sales of the first batch of bags, scarves and other products exceeded 100,000 yuan, the value of innovation was directly revealed. Speaking with practical work and exploring the road with innovation, more people recognized my choice. In recent years, more and more old patterns have bloomed on coasters, handbags, and cloth rose flowers, and more and more people have learned about Dong culture through batik, embroidery and other creative activities. Integrating into modern life, the new expression of old craftsmanship allows traditional culture to "live" and go to farther places with people's steps.
The inheritance of culture and the rebirth of tradition have rejuvenated the ancient village. In the past, most of the people left behind in the village were elderly; nowadays, more and more villagers are returning to their hometowns to start businesses, and the post-90s generation accounts for 1/5 of our cooperative. The embroidery women "weave" employment opportunities at their doorsteps, and young people use live broadcast cameras to share Dong stories with the world. In the past 10 years, our cooperative has trained more than 3,000 people, and many people have "started their own businesses" after completing their studies, and the number of batik shops is increasing. This is not "crowding out," but gathering. Participating together to form a strong cultural atmosphere can also better inherit traditional crafts. Just as our Dong ethnic group's traditional pattern "Three Fish Sharing a Head" inspires us, if we think in the same direction and 劲往一处使 (jìn wǎng yī chù shǐ - "exert all efforts in one direction," to pool efforts), our lives will surely flourish.
During his inspection in Zhaoxing Dong Village (肇兴侗寨), General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that "minority cultures are an indispensable part of Chinese culture. We must not only protect the tangible villages, dwellings, and characteristic architectural styles, and inherit the intangible cultural heritage, but also promote their creative transformation and innovative development." As a representative inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, I am deeply encouraged. The skills of Dong cloth dyeing and weaving nourish my life, and I must also give back to it, making the black and purple Dong cloth brighter and adding color to the magnificent picture of the times.

Return to TopNot long ago, the State Administration for Market Regulation (市场监管总局), together with the Central Social Work Department (中央社会工作部), the Cyberspace Administration of China (中央网信办), the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (人力资源社会保障部), and the Ministry of Commerce (商务部), held talks with relevant platform enterprises regarding prominent issues existing in the current competition within the food delivery industry. The talks required enterprises to strictly abide by laws and regulations, compete fairly and orderly, and jointly create a good market environment. This meeting demonstrated a clear attitude towards rectifying "**内卷式**" competition (nèijuǎn shì - "involution," a situation where increased effort yields diminishing returns), and further pointed out the direction for the healthy development of the platform economy.
This is precisely:
Commerce benefits people's livelihoods through standardization,
Remember to benefit others while benefiting yourself.
**内卷** competition (nèijuǎn - "involution," excessive internal competition that wastes resources) erodes the foundation,
Fairness and order are the way to long-term development.

Strengthen guidance for personal information users such as relevant platforms, urge them to take proactive measures, replace ex-post remedies with ex-ante prevention, and internalize personal information protection into the "genes" of products.
Not long after a child is born, one receives promotional calls for baby's 100-day photos; as soon as one places an order for a book, someone calls to promote membership benefits packages... Nowadays, many people may have this feeling: personal information leakage is difficult to prevent, and the speed is surprisingly fast.
A recent case cracked by the Shanghai police (上海警方) allows people to understand how personal information is quickly leaked. A clerk and her colleagues from a confinement nanny service company stationed in the obstetrics department of a hospital sold maternal and infant information collected from various hospitals to the legal representative of a children's photography agency. The latter then signed a contract with a telemarketing company, which used this information for promotion. A management loophole the size of a needle's eye leaked a huge amount of wind. The not-so-complicated resale method resulted in the leakage and sale of nearly 40,000 pieces of parent-child information in three years, which is thought-provoking.
In recent years, especially since the implementation of the Personal Information Protection Law, China's (中国) personal information protection work has achieved remarkable results. However, with the iteration of technology and the expansion of scenarios, the risk points of personal information leakage have increased, and the difficulty of governance has continued to increase.
Currently, the difficulty of personal information protection has shifted from obvious rights infringements to more hidden technical abuses. The improper collection and illegal use of personal information are often related to emerging businesses or service methods. For example, the QR code ordering system of a well-known catering company forces users to follow its official account and induces them to fill in non-essential information such as mobile phone numbers and birthdays, using the data for precision marketing; a certain brand of smart watches collects location information at high frequency without clearly prompting users, forming user behavior profiles. As another example, in the aforementioned case, the confinement nanny service company sent personnel to the obstetrics departments of more than a dozen hospitals in Shanghai (上海), summarizing newborn information every day, which was originally used for corporate reconciliation and optimization of after-sales service, etc., but the company lacked detailed consideration of information authorization and supervision, and did not formulate effective measures, which laid hidden dangers for information leakage.
In the era of big data, consumers face more extensive authorization and use of personal information and insufficient security guarantees than ever before. In the face of this new situation and new circumstances, it is necessary to further improve the level of refined governance and strengthen the pertinence and effectiveness of supervision.
For some persistent outstanding problems, in addition to carrying out various special actions to crack down hard, it is also necessary to strengthen the collaborative law enforcement mechanism to prevent some non-compliant entities from using regulatory loopholes to "play guerrilla warfare." For new problems that arise with the development of the times, it is also necessary to increase the supply of systems, continuously refine rules, minimize regulatory blind spots, and resolve hidden dangers in the bud.
For example, in response to problems such as mandatory face-swiping, the "Measures for the Security Management of Facial Recognition Technology Applications" issued in March this year clearly stipulates the relevant principles for the application of this technology, and makes detailed provisions on aspects such as notification methods, authorization and consent, impact assessment, and filing procedures to prevent technical abuse. At a time when the application of facial recognition technology is rapidly becoming popular, the introduction of this new regulation is undoubtedly a timely rain for promoting the safe and healthy development of related industries and better protecting personal information rights and interests.
To further enhance the initiative of governance, it is also necessary to find ways to block loopholes from the source and better use new technologies to help solve new problems. For example, an application launched a new function that allows users to retrospectively authorize historical authorizations and revoke personal information with one click; an e-commerce platform uses "privacy computing" technology to ensure that data is "available but invisible." Strengthen guidance for personal information users such as relevant platforms, urge them to take proactive measures, replace ex-post remedies with ex-ante prevention, and internalize personal information protection into the "genes" of products, so that supervision can jump out of the vicious circle of the "cat and mouse game."
Protecting personal information rights and interests is a must-answer question in the digital age. Finding the balance point between development and security, and building a three-dimensional governance system of rule-based backstop, technology empowerment, and social co-governance, our digital life will surely achieve the unity of convenience and security.

Summer is vibrant and full of life. Su Shi (苏轼) said, "Green locust trees and tall willows choke the new cicadas"; Zhou Bangyan (周邦彦) said, "Water shakes the fan's shadow, startling the playing fish." If poetic imagery is integrated into products, what kind of "scenery" can a company create?
The answer from Tianjin Ostrich Ink Co., Ltd. (天津市鸵鸟墨水有限公司) is: to go from domestic to all over the world. Last year, Ostrich Ink's cultural and creative product—the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Chromatography Ink—was exported overseas. The "Grain Full" (小满) ink color was named "Green Locust" (绿槐), and the "Minor Heat" (小暑) was named "Bamboo's Noise" (竹喧)... Different solar terms correspond to different ink colors, and each ink is closely related to poetry or allusions. The research and development team uses new creativity to present the storytelling of traditional culture. In the past two years, the growth rate of Ostrich Ink's overseas market sales has remained at 15% to 20%. It can be seen that culture is also a competitive advantage. What impresses overseas consumers is the quality of the product, as well as the historical culture it contains.
Telling stories is, in the final analysis, about telling culture and characteristics. In recent years, domestic tea drink brands have gone overseas, with some opening thousands of stores overseas. An industry analyst said that Chinese tea drinks going overseas should not just be about the taste of milk tea, but should have a Chinese flavor. The long-standing tea culture is the foundation for domestic tea drink brands to go overseas. Chinese culture is broad and profound, and any industry can find unique and high-quality highlights for its products, find a fit with the market, and leverage a large market with a drop of ink, a cup of tea, or a piece of cloth.
When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do. After entering overseas markets, some companies have launched limited editions co-branded with local brands, some have localized products and services and launched personalized "menus," and others have drawn inspiration from local culture and told new stories. Chinese culture has an open mind that embraces all things. Coming from China, but not sticking to the Chinese label, with more ideas for integration and innovation, overseas companies can be more down-to-earth.
To tell good stories and new stories, and to unleash the infinite charm of culture, we must rely on the hard power of technological innovation. Taking the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Chromatography Ink as an example, the research and development team achieved the "integration of imagery and color" through a large number of color layer analyses and raw material matching, using the power of technology. From new technologies to new industries and new products, a series of "new" chain reactions have expanded more possibilities for the expression of historical culture. On the journey of products traveling across the ocean, the profound cultural heritage and new quality productive forces go hand in hand. In the collision of old and new, product exports, brand "outreach," and industrial development find new ways out.
Culture can be transformed into the competitiveness of enterprises going overseas, and thousands of overseas enterprises have also become part of the country's cultural soft power. Today, Chinese products such as high-speed railways, mobile phones, and automobiles are world-renowned, and Chinese manufacturing is writing a new expression of Chinese culture in the new era.

Young Pioneers, Comrades:
Today, the Ninth National Congress of the Young Pioneers of China (中国少年先锋队) has grandly opened. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) attaches great importance to this and has sent a congratulatory letter.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important congratulatory letter fully embodies the Party Central Committee's care and concern for the Young Pioneers, and it is a great encouragement to the vast number of Young Pioneers, Young Pioneer instructors, and Young Pioneer workers. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), focusing on the inheritance of the cause of the Party and the people and ensuring that the red country has successors, has attached great importance to and shown great concern for children and the work of the Young Pioneers. He has participated in Young Pioneer activities many times, delivered important speeches, and given important instructions. He personally guided the formulation of the Central Committee's opinions on comprehensively strengthening the work of the Young Pioneers in the new era. General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) series of important expositions on children and the work of the Young Pioneers clarifies the fundamental principle of the Young Pioneers to hold high the flag of the team and follow the Party, clarifies the strategic positioning of the Young Pioneers as a reserve force for building socialism and communism, clarifies the theme of the era of the children's movement preparing for the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, clarifies the direction of all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor for children, clarifies the paths and methods for doing a good job in the work of the Young Pioneers in the new era, clarifies the key forces for doing a good job in the work of the Young Pioneers in the new era, and clarifies the common responsibility of the entire Party and society to serve the healthy growth of children. It is the fundamental guideline for doing a good job in the work of the Young Pioneers in the new era, and we must conscientiously study and comprehend it and fully implement it.
Over the past five years, under the strong leadership of the Party, the Young Pioneers have focused on strengthening ideological and political guidance, strengthening organizational education, independent education, and practical education, strengthening the construction of the Young Pioneer instructor team, and strengthening basic-level work, achieving remarkable results in cultivating people for the Party. The vast number of Young Pioneers have aspired to high ideals, cultivated moral character, and practiced skills. In the "Remembering General Secretary's Teachings in Our Hearts" campaign, they have felt the care of the leader. Under the call of "Red Scarves Heart to the Party," they have cultivated deep feelings for loving the Party. In the "Red Scarves Love the Motherland" visits, they have appreciated the great achievements of the new era. In the "Red Scarves Interpreters" practice, they have told the Chinese (中国) story well, demonstrating a vibrant spirit!
Young Pioneers! With the joint efforts of the entire Party and people of all ethnic groups across the country, in another ten years, by 2035, our country will basically realize socialist modernization. At that time, you will be in your twenties and in the prime of your youth. By the middle of this century, our country will be built into a strong socialist modern country. At that time, you will be in your thirties and in the prime of your life. I hope you will keep in mind the teachings of General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), follow the requirements of successors to communism, and strive to be good young people of the new era who love the Party, love the country, are diligent and eager to learn, and develop in an all-round way.
--To be good young people of the new era, we must inherit the red gene. Realizing the building of a strong country and the rejuvenation of the nation is the dream of generations of Chinese (中国人), and it is also a historical relay race. The red scarf is a corner of the red flag, dyed with the blood of revolutionary martyrs. I hope you will study the history of the Young Pioneers, cherish the glory of the Young Pioneers, listen to the Party and follow the Party from an early age, love the Party, love the motherland, love the people, and love socialism, learn from revolutionary martyrs, heroic figures, model workers, and pioneer role models in various industries, take over the relay baton, and be red children of the Party and the people.
--To be good young people of the new era, we must inherit the Chinese (中华) cultural heritage. Chinese (中国) culture has a long history, and the Chinese (中华民族) nation has a cultural history of 10,000 years and a civilization history of more than 5,000 years. This is the deepest and most precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese (中华民族) nation. I hope you will love the outstanding traditional Chinese (中华) culture, cultivate morality, enrich knowledge, enhance confidence, and draw strength from it, so that the Chinese (中华) cultural heritage is integrated into the spiritual bloodline, understand "Why China (中国)" from an early age, cultivate the ambition, backbone, and confidence to be Chinese (中国人) from an early age, practice the core socialist values, and be guardians and inheritors of Chinese (中华) civilization.
--To be good young people of the new era, we must inherit the spirit of struggle. 人勤春来早 (rén qín chūn lái zǎo - "diligence brings early spring," diligence is essential for success). There is no shortcut to growth, and all beautiful futures are created through struggle. Knowledge is the cornerstone of struggle, physical health is the capital of struggle, and perseverance is the footnote of struggle. You are like "small saplings" that need to be cultivated with soil and watered, and also need to be pruned and trimmed. I hope you will not only pay attention to learning knowledge and increasing knowledge, but also pay attention to exercising your body and tempering your will, not bowing your heads when encountering difficulties, not being proud of your achievements, and making up for your shortcomings in time, so that you can grow upright, strong, and well from an early age.
The Young Pioneers are a youth organization founded and led by the Party, and are a reserve force for building socialism and communism. In the new era and on the new journey, the Young Pioneers must keep in mind their original aspiration and mission, adhere to the Party's comprehensive leadership, focus on the fundamental task of cultivating successors to communism, focus on cultivating qualified builders of the cause of socialism with Chinese (中国) characteristics, strengthen the political enlightenment and value shaping of children, and plant the seeds of listening to the Party and following the Party in the hearts of children. We must promote all-round development, educate and guide children to cultivate morality, explore knowledge, strengthen their physique, learn aesthetics, and love labor, so that they can become pillars of strength for building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation as soon as possible. We must respect the main position of children, grasp the characteristics of children, combine education with care, guidance with service, and let children be trained and gain growth in their own organizations.
Children are the future of the motherland, the hope of the nation, and also the future and hope of our Party. Party committees at all levels must adhere to the principle of the Party managing children, adhere to the Party building leading the Youth League building and the Young Pioneers building, and constantly improve the new era Young Pioneers work system and mechanism of Party committee leadership, government support, Youth League leadership, Youth League-education cooperation, and social coordination. Honorary directors of Young Pioneers Work Committees at all levels should play their role well, regularly listen to reports, coordinate and solve problems, and provide strong guarantees. The Communist Youth League (共青团) must implement the entire league leading the team, vigorously build a high-quality and professional Young Pioneer instructor and Young Pioneer worker team, and Youth League cadres at all levels must take the lead in doing a good job in the Young Pioneers work with heart and soul. The vast number of Communist Party members and Communist Youth League (共青团员) members should take the initiative to hold hands with the Young Pioneers, do practical things for the children, and set an example. Relevant departments and the entire society should care about the growth of children, vigorously support the work of the Young Pioneers, and create a good environment for children to grow up.
Young Pioneers, Comrades! A strong country's youth rises in the East, and the path to a strong youth and a strong country is bright. Let us unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) as the core, unite, educate, and guide hundreds of millions of children to be ready at all times for the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation!
Finally, I wish the congress a complete success!

Not long ago, a reporter was interviewing in Kuqa (库车), Xinjiang (新疆). Local officials and aid workers from Ningbo (宁波), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, unanimously recommended to the reporter: "Comrade reporter, please write about our Teacher Ding (丁老师). For more than 10 consecutive years, he has been teaching melon planting in Xinjiang (新疆), not seeking fame or fortune. He is a well-known melon planting expert here."
Who is Teacher Ding (丁老师)? His name is Ding Weihong (丁伟红), a senior agronomist at the Vegetable Research Institute of the Ningbo (宁波) Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Zhejiang (浙江) Province. It is currently the sweet melon growing season, and he has once again come to Kuqa City (库车市). The reporter followed and recorded Ding Weihong's (丁伟红) day and also learned from everyone's accounts about the bits and pieces Ding Weihong (丁伟红) has done for Kuqa (库车) and Xinjiang (新疆) over the past 10 years.
10:30 AM, Village New Era Civilization Practice Station
Lecture
At 10:00 AM, Ding Weihong (丁伟红), who arrived in Kuqa (库车) the previous afternoon by flight, departed from the hotel on time to conduct sweet melon planting technology training in Tuzilukdun Village (吐孜鲁克墩村), Wucha Township (乌恰镇).
Half an hour later, the vehicle arrived at the Tuzilukdun Village (吐孜鲁克墩村) New Era Civilization Practice Station. More than 60 villagers were already seated inside. Hearing that Teacher Ding (丁老师) was giving a lecture, many people came directly from the fields, their clothes still covered in soil, and their hands didn't have time to be washed clean, fearing that being late would mean learning fewer tips for growing melons.
Before the presentation was even opened, a villager raised his hand to ask: "Teacher Ding (丁老师), last year my relatives and I both planted melons, why weren't mine as sweet as his? And the skin didn't have nice patterns?"
After carefully inquiring about the other party's planting situation, Ding Weihong (丁伟红) "diagnosed": "This is because the fertilizer and water management was not in place. It is recommended to add two more applications of fertilizer later." What fertilizer to use, how much to use, when to apply it... He listed the precautions one by one.
"Teacher Ding (丁老师), I applied fertilizer according to these requirements, but why aren't the fruits growing big?" Ding Weihong (丁伟红) prompted: "Didn't you remove the side branches before fruiting?"
The villager who asked the question suddenly understood.
How to prune melons grown on trellises? How to prune melons grown on the ground? Ding Weihong (丁伟红) took the opportunity to explain the relevant technical points. To make it easier for the villagers to receive information intuitively, Ding Weihong's (丁伟红) presentation had very little text, and each item was directly displayed in the form of real-life pictures.
The scheduled one-hour lecture lasted until after 1:00 PM. "When I first came, I wasn't so popular," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) recalled. In 2013, Ningbo (宁波) had an industrial aid project in Xinjiang (新疆), and he was invited to Kuqa (库车) to promote the planting of sweet melon varieties such as "Yongtian No. 5 (甬甜5号)". "Many villagers felt that they had been growing melons all their lives, could an outsider teach everyone to grow melons better? No one wanted to attend the technical training."
"Growing good melons is more convincing than anything else." In 2014, the Ningbo (宁波) Aid Xinjiang (新疆) Headquarters found 200 acres of farmland in Wucha Township (乌恰镇), Kuqa (库车), and Ding Weihong (丁伟红) conducted experiments there. In July, the sweet melon harvest season, he rushed to Kuqa (库车) with confidence, but was dumbfounded when he arrived at the field. "The ground was full of weeds, and you couldn't see any melons at all. The technical secrets that I repeatedly told them before leaving may not have been taken seriously by the farmers," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said.
Ding Weihong (丁伟红) parted the weeds with a glimmer of hope and found some ripe sweet melons. "Although the maintenance was not in place, the melons were crisper and sweeter than the same varieties grown in Shandong (山东) and Zhejiang (浙江)," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said. At that time, local farmers began to accept the technology and varieties he brought.
1:30 PM, Farmer's Greenhouse
Answering Questions
After the lecture, it was lunchtime, but Ding Weihong (丁伟红) didn't have time to eat lunch. He had to hurry to the home of villager Hailili Maimaiti (海力力·买买提). They had agreed to go to the fields to answer questions after class.
Many people were already standing on the ridges of Hailili Maimaiti's (海力力·买买提) backyard vegetable garden, which had a greenhouse built by Hailili Maimaiti (海力力·买买提) himself. Stepping into the greenhouse, a wave of humid heat hit his face. Ding Weihong (丁伟红) immediately spotted the problem: "The temperature and humidity are too high. Remember two temperature nodes for sweet melon planting - do not exceed 30 degrees Celsius, and do not fall below 15 degrees Celsius."
"Buy a thermometer and hygrometer online and hang it in the greenhouse. In the future, if the temperature and humidity are too high, open the front and rear doors of the greenhouse for ventilation," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) instructed as he walked inside. More than 10 villagers also entered the greenhouse, listening to Ding Weihong's (丁伟红) guidance.
A villager asked: "You talked about pruning techniques in class, but I don't know how to operate them." Ding Weihong (丁伟红) picked up a melon seedling and demonstrated on the spot. "Demonstrating in the melon field makes it easier for everyone to understand," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said.
This scene has appeared many times on the ridges, in the greenhouses, and next to the melon seedlings of Kuqa (库车).
"Logically speaking, the local farmers have accepted my varieties, and I have taught them the technology, provided the seeds, and I can leave, but I am worried," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said.
Now, Ding Weihong (丁伟红) still comes to Kuqa (库车) every year. "Sometimes six or seven times a year, staying for about a week each time. I come during planting, pruning, and fruiting," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said. Earlier, there were no direct flights from Ningbo (宁波) to Kuqa (库车). He had to take a train to Shanghai (上海), then fly from Shanghai (上海) to Urumqi (乌鲁木齐), and then fly from Urumqi (乌鲁木齐) to Kuqa (库车), a one-way trip of more than 20 hours. But he doesn't feel tired, "because it's a very meaningful thing."
Currently, the planting area of "Yongtian No. 5 (甬甜5号)" sweet melon in Kuqa (库车) has reached 5,000 acres, and the income of local people has increased by more than 15 million yuan.
4:00 PM, Seedling Center
Checking Melon Seedlings
After the field guidance, it was nearly 3:00 PM. Ding Weihong (丁伟红) hurriedly ate a plate of mixed noodles at a roadside restaurant and rushed to the seedling center located in Sanwucha Village (三乌恰村), Wucha Township (乌恰镇).
In the glass greenhouse of the seedling center, rows of seedling beds were covered with tender green melon seedlings, like pieces of green canvas. Ding Weihong (丁伟红) walked and flipped the melon seedlings at hand, checking the growth of the tender branches.
"The melon seedlings of Kuqa (库车) 'Yongtian No. 5 (甬甜5号)' sweet melon are all cultivated here," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said. "I not only have to look at the quality of the melon seedlings, but also the quantity of the melon seedlings. Currently, the supply and demand are relatively balanced. I can't promote too many at once, otherwise the price will fall, and the farmers' enthusiasm for planting will be dampened, which would outweigh the benefits."
"Promoting improved varieties, imparting technology, and expanding the scale, these three steps have basically been completed. The next step is to promote standardized planting of sweet melons," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said. In the entire Kuqa (库车), only about 20% of the "Yongtian No. 5 (甬甜5号)" sweet melons can meet the standards in terms of sweetness, crispness, and size. Such good melons are not difficult to sell, and the price per kilogram can exceed 10 yuan. But more than 70% of the melons do not meet the standards, and many are sold for two or three yuan on the roadside. "**太可惜了！**" (tài kě xī le - "too bad!," it's a pity/shame).
"After learning about Teacher Ding's (丁老师) story, the Zhejiang (浙江) Aid Xinjiang (新疆) Headquarters specially established the Aid Xinjiang (新疆) Science and Technology Commissioner system to provide more convenience for agricultural technicians like Teacher Ding (丁老师) to carry out their work," said Yang Yong (杨勇), Secretary of the Party Committee and Commander of the Ningbo (宁波) Aid Xinjiang (新疆) Headquarters, and Deputy Secretary of the Kuqa (库车) Municipal Party Committee. "This system can also encourage and support more agricultural experts to send improved varieties and technologies to Xinjiang (新疆). Currently, Ningbo's (宁波) pumpkins and strawberries have been widely promoted in Xinjiang (新疆)."
"In order to cooperate with Teacher Ding's (丁老师) sweet melon standardized planting promotion, we have also applied for a special brand for Kuqa (库车) sweet melons and contacted sales channels in advance," said Tong Mingbiao (童明彪), Deputy Leader of the Industrial Group of the Ningbo (宁波) Aid Xinjiang (新疆) Headquarters.
Last year, Ding Weihong (丁伟红) was awarded the "2024 Xinjiang (新疆) Development and Construction Medal". "The honor represents the organization's affirmation of me, and I am very honored," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said with a smile. "In addition, I have received two other affirmations. One is that the villagers love to learn melon planting from me and grow good melons. This is their affirmation of my character and technology."
The other is that every time he goes to Kuqa (库车) Airport, many passengers carry large and small boxes of Kuqa (库车) specialty products. "Maybe there are my sweet melons in there," Ding Weihong (丁伟红) said with a smile, his face full of pride.

From the shores of the East China Sea to the northwestern frontier, Ding Weihong (丁伟红) has spent more than 10 years delivering improved varieties and techniques for growing melons to even more remote areas, using agricultural technology to benefit farmers and help revitalize rural areas in an all-round way.
Using agricultural technology to benefit farmers is best reflected in "teaching a man to fish." Ding Weihong (丁伟红) uses 200 acres of experimental fields as a "living textbook," responding to doubts with the fact that he can grow better quality melons. In the classroom, he uses real-scene pictures to replace professional terminology; in the greenhouse, he demonstrates operational details hands-on... These practices not only help local farmers solve planting technology problems, but also give them the ability to continuously develop themselves.
Using agricultural technology to benefit farmers emphasizes 久久为功 (jiǔ jiǔ wéi gōng - "achieve success through persistent effort," persistent effort leads to success). Ding Weihong (丁伟红) has been paying attention to the development of the Kuqa (库车) melon industry, coming at the time of sowing, coming at the time of pruning, and coming at the time of fruiting. He turned a "short-term project" into a "long-term career." This persistence has promoted the expansion of the planting scale of new varieties, and has also driven the increase in income and prosperity of local farmers.
Using agricultural technology to benefit farmers is not a simple technology transfer, but rather to enhance endogenous motivation in "teaching a man to fish" and to cultivate the foundation for development in "achieving success through persistent effort." When more and more agricultural technicians go to the fields with responsibility and feelings, the picture of all-round rural revitalization will surely bloom with more splendor.

On the river, two dragon boat teams were fiercely competing. A slightly lagging dragon boat suddenly accelerated and overtook its opponent, drawing cheers from the audience on the shore. On May 24th, the final of the 2025 China Traditional Dragon Boat Race warm-up was held in Bijiang District (碧江区), Tongren City (铜仁市), Guizhou Province (贵州省). The video attracted many fans after it was released.
In Tongren (铜仁), dragon boat racing is a traditional recreational and sports activity participated in by multiple ethnic groups. In 2011, Tongren City (铜仁市) dragon boat racing was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list, which strongly promoted the local cultural tourism development.
The team that won this time came from Songjiang (松江) and Aihong (矮红) villages in Niulang Town (牛郎镇), Songtao Miao Autonomous County (松桃苗族自治县), Tongren City (铜仁市), but there are still competitions to come, and the team members dare not be careless. During last year's final, the entire team fell into the water near the finish line. Why? "The boat was borrowed overnight, and there was no time to break it in," said Long Zhoucheng (龙周城), Party Branch Secretary of Songjiang Village (松江村). "This year, we got 22 fir trees and built two dragon boats, one for training and the other for competition."
Some netizens discovered that the drummers of many teams were sitting, but the drummer of this team was standing. Why? "How fast it is depends on the drummer," said the drummer, Long Hai (龙海). Standing and drumming provides a better view and more strength, allowing for better coordination with the team members. "Standing is a great test of the drummer's skill. To stand firm, you must practice more."
The dragon boat race is not only popular with local residents but also attracts many tourists from other places. During the competition, men, women, and children gathered on both sides of the Jinjiang River (锦江), and there were even cheerleaders chasing the dragon boat teams to cheer them on, making it very lively. In addition, the local area also held cultural tourism investment promotion conferences, food markets, and various trade fairs, and developed dragon boat experience projects to enhance the tourist experience.
Zhang Weihua (张伟华), Director of the Bijiang District (碧江区) Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau, said: "We take the dragon boat race as a starting point to promote the development of the cultural tourism industry. During last year's Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race, Bijiang District (碧江区), Tongren City (铜仁市) received 495,700 tourists. This year, we will welcome tourists from all over the world with better quality services and richer activities."

Local time May 25th, the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships concluded in Doha, Qatar. The Chinese Table Tennis Team won 4 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals in 4 events excluding men's doubles, maintaining its strong competitive strength. However, the coverage of medals has decreased compared to the previous two events.
Facing difficulties such as the transition of old and new players and insufficient pre-match training time, Wang Liqin (王励勤), Chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, said: "The players showed a spirit of tenacious struggle and never giving up, which is commendable."
The women's singles final was held between Sun Yingsha (孙颖莎) and Wang Manyu (王曼昱), and the match was full of ups and downs. Especially in the sixth game, when Sun Yingsha (孙颖莎) led 10:6, Wang Manyu (王曼昱) chased 4 match points in a row, dragging the game into the deciding game. In the end, Sun Yingsha (孙颖莎) successfully defended her title, and the two jointly demonstrated the high level of top players in terms of strength and mentality.
In men's singles, competition among teams was fierce. At this World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Chuqin (王楚钦) withstood the pressure and won his first World Table Tennis Championships men's singles title. Wang Liqin (王励勤) said that the men's team faces greater challenges in the new Olympic cycle, and needs to improve in terms of competition ability and experience.
In the mixed doubles competition, the Chinese team combination Wang Chuqin (王楚钦)/Sun Yingsha (孙颖莎) won the World Table Tennis Championships gold medal for the third consecutive time, while another Chinese mixed doubles combination Lin Shidong (林诗栋)/Kuai Man (蒯曼) stopped in the top eight. In women's doubles, after Chen Xingtong (陈幸同)/Qian Tianyi (钱天一) stopped in the second round, Kuai Man (蒯曼)/Wang Manyu (王曼昱) helped the Chinese team achieve 19 consecutive World Table Tennis Championships women's doubles titles.
In this World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese team sent a total of 6 pairs of men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles combinations, half of which did not enter the top four. In men's doubles, the two Chinese team combinations Liang Jingkun (梁靖崑)/Huang Youzheng (黄友政) and Lin Gaoyuan (林高远)/Lin Shidong (林诗栋) were eliminated early, missing the World Table Tennis Championships men's doubles medal for the first time since 1975, which also shows that the Chinese men's doubles lineup still needs to be strengthened.
In April of this year, the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee announced the adjustment of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games program. The men's doubles and women's doubles events in table tennis will return, and a mixed team competition will be added. At the same time, the current number of participants is still required to be consistent with the Paris Olympic Games. Not only is the schedule more intensive, but participating in multiple events will become a situation faced by most athletes, which is a challenge for the national table tennis team.
Wang Liqin (王励勤) said that the team will carefully summarize this competition after returning to China and clarify the next direction of preparation. He believes that there are three areas of focus.
The first is to handle the relationship between training and competition. In the new cycle, it is necessary to enrich practical experience and improve capabilities through competitions, and also to allow enough time for systematic training to consolidate technical and tactical strength. At the same time, it is necessary to formulate more targeted training programs around the goal of winning Olympic gold medals, especially the research on doubles events, the cooperation between athletes, and the allocation of physical energy for athletes participating in multiple events. There are still many areas that need to be improved. In addition, we must increase the training of young athletes. "We must train the team through various levels and types of competitions, especially to allow young players to grow up as soon as possible," said Wang Liqin (王励勤).

Appreciating Flowers
A new scene with each floral bloom,
Half belonging to the east wind, half to dust.
Only this flower never tires of blooming,
Occupying all four seasons of spring throughout the year.
——"Rose"
Ming Dynasty · Zhang Xin (张新)
In early summer, as the scorching sun gradually intensifies, colorful roses bloom enthusiastically in the streets and alleys of Beijing (北京), the capital, outlining a beautiful picture of "roses blooming red every month, illuminating the capital." Strolling through the streets and alleys where flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance is refreshing, and the sight is magnificent. The unique charm of Beijing (北京), an ancient capital where tradition and modernity intertwine, becomes even more intoxicating amidst the clusters of flowers.
The "Blooming in Beijing (北京) · 2025 Beijing (北京) Rose Culture Festival" opened on May 16 and will last until the end of June. A total of 14 themed exhibition areas, including the Temple of Heaven Park (天坛公园), the National Botanical Garden (North Garden) (国家植物园（北园）), and Taoranting Park (陶然亭公园), will showcase more than 3,000 varieties of roses, covering an area of over 3,000 mu, bringing a flower viewing feast to citizens and tourists.
Blooming in Four Seasons, Spreading a Fine Reputation
The rose is one of the top ten famous flowers in China, symbolizing happiness, beauty, peace, and friendship, and is known as the "Queen of Flowers." Every year from May to November, colorful roses bloom enthusiastically in the streets and alleys of Beijing (北京), becoming an indispensable urban symbol. Its vibrant and resilient natural endowment also coincides with the spirit of Beijing (北京) citizens who are proactive, inclusive, and tenacious.
In China, the rose has a long history of cultivation. The *Er Ru Ting Qun Fang Pu* (《二如亭群芳谱》) written by Wang Xiangjin (王象晋) of the Ming Dynasty (明代) records that the rose "is also known as Changchunhua (长春花), also known as Yuèyuèhóng (月月红)... blooming every month, never ceasing throughout the four seasons." The planting and appreciation of roses by the people in Beijing (北京) flourished in the late Qing Dynasty (清代) and the Republic of China period, and because of its long flowering period and beautiful flower shape, it has long been loved by citizens.
After the founding of New China, modern roses, obtained by hybridizing Chinese roses with various *Rosa* species, gradually integrated into the lives of Beijing (北京) citizens. In the late 1950s, a rose garden was built in front of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), and later the Temple of Heaven Rose Garden (天坛月季园), Taoranting Rose Garden (陶然亭月季园), and others were successively built, which were very lively when the flowers bloomed.
In 1985, the Beijing (北京) Municipal Government widely solicited opinions from the public for the selection of the city flower. The rose, because it "blooms in all four seasons" and is one of the most common popular flowers cultivated in Beijing (北京), received the most votes. In March 1987, the Sixth Session of the Eighth Beijing (北京) Municipal People's Congress deliberated and approved the rose and chrysanthemum as the city flowers of Beijing (北京).
In recent years, roses have been widely used in Beijing's (北京) landscaping, beautifying the capital. Not only are they ubiquitous in parks and communities, but also on Beijing's (北京) ring roads, major connecting lines, and key blocks, more than 20 million roses of various types are in full bloom, forming a 300-kilometer-long "rose necklace," earning Beijing (北京) the reputation of "City of Roses."
Cultural Exchange, Fragrant Business Card
As the city flower, the rose not only decorates the city but also becomes a fragrant business card for Beijing's (北京) foreign cultural exchanges. The main flower material for the award bouquets of the 2008 Beijing (北京) Olympic Games was the rose variety "China Red" (中国红) with independent intellectual property rights; the award bouquets for the 2022 Beijing (北京) Winter Olympics used the intangible cultural heritage "Shanghai-style velvet knitting technique," and the prototype of the flower material selected also included roses.
During the preparation for the 2008 Beijing (北京) Olympic Games, Beijing (北京) also focused on transforming the green planting of the Third and Fourth Ring Roads. The median strip of the Third Ring Road was built into a rose flower wall, which soon extended to the entire Third Ring Road and key connecting lines such as Xiwai Street (西外大街), Dewai Street (德外大街), and Beiyuan Road (北苑路); a large number of roses were also planted around the Olympic venues and radiated to the entire Fourth Ring Road. In recent years, with Beijing (北京) hosting many international events, the rose landscape has been continuously improved, the "Rose Avenue" on the ring road has become more spectacular, and the "Rose Necklace" is even more dazzling.
Using flowers as a medium to promote exchanges. At the 9th International Rose Conference, nearly 800 scientists, entrepreneurs, and others from 26 countries and regions around the world gathered together. The main exhibition area, Jingxi Rose Continent Park (京西月季洲公园), built a global rose culture living room, where countries created gardens and landscapes with roses as the theme, showcasing the garden culture characteristics of different countries and regions.
In the Rose Garden of the National Botanical Garden (国家植物园) at the foot of the Western Hills (西山), tens of thousands of roses are blooming in competition. Several gardens within the garden with special significance have become witnesses to friendly exchanges between China and foreign countries. Australian rose breeding experts once donated more than 200 rose varieties, and the botanical garden specially built the "China-Australia Friendship Rose Garden" for this purpose; on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the botanical garden established the "Peace Rose Garden," mainly planting "Peace" roses and varieties derived from them.
Technology Empowers, New Varieties Emerge
"Beijing Red" is cold and drought-resistant, disease-resistant, and tolerant of extensive planting; "Red May" is true to its name, and every May, the flowers bloom as red as fire... In Beijing (北京), rose varieties are constantly being updated, with more than 3,000 varieties being applied and displayed, including ground cover roses, climbing roses, shrub roses, miniature roses, floribunda roses, perfume roses, and other types, with a planting area of over 30,000 mu. As a national rose research and development highland, Beijing (北京) took the lead in establishing a rose breeding research and development innovation team in China. Nine rose research and development teams from seven research institutes in Beijing (北京) have cultivated more than 200 new and excellent rose varieties, some of which have been promoted to the whole country, and five varieties have been exported.
In 2023, Beijing (北京) launched the construction of a national-level city flower rose seedling breeding and efficient production demonstration base in Daxing District (大兴区) to carry out intelligent, standardized, and large-scale production of rose seedlings, driving industrial agglomeration. At present, Beijing's (北京) rose industry has formed a complete industrial chain system integrating research and development innovation, efficient production, and landscape application, providing strong support for the construction of a garden city.
"The Rose Culture Festival is particularly popular with citizens and tourists," said Li Meixia (李美霞), a senior engineer at the Industrial Development Division of the Beijing (北京) Municipal Bureau of Parks and Green Spaces. Since 2009, the Beijing (北京) Municipal Bureau of Parks and Green Spaces has taken the lead in holding the Beijing (北京) Rose Culture Festival, from initially organizing industry competitions to now organizing various activities such as leisure experiences and science popularization entertainment, which are becoming more and more lively.
One flower, one city. Traveling through the rose flower sea that can be seen everywhere in Beijing (北京), tasting the colorful and fragrant beauty, the rose continues to write a beautiful legend in this garden city.

In early summer, the Beijing Institute of Landscape Architecture Science (北京市园林绿化科学研究院) (hereinafter referred to as "Beijing Institute of Landscape Science") is immersed in the rich fragrance of roses. Flowers with emerald green sepals called "Green Calyx (绿萼)", thornless stems called "Yellow Diamond (黄钻)", and "Shooting Star (流星雨)" with interwoven dark red and bright yellow colors... In the rose germplasm resource nursery of the Beijing Institute of Landscape Science, various roses display a myriad of forms.
Roses belong to the genus Rosa of the Rosaceae family, with over 30,000 varieties worldwide. Despite the wide variety, for a long time, most of the roses planted in Beijing (北京) gardens and landscaping were foreign varieties. Cultivating new rose varieties of their own has become the unremitting pursuit of generations of rose breeders.
"May is the best time for artificial pollination of roses. We are racing against time and didn't even rest during the 'May Day' holiday." In the rose breeding greenhouse of the Beijing Institute of Landscape Science, Zhao Shiwei (赵世伟), the leader of the rose breeding research team, and nearly 10 researchers and students are wearing gloves and busy artificially pollinating the roses.
Artificial pollination is a key step in rose hybridization and breeding. Select mother flowers that are about to bloom, remove the petals and stamens, then dip a brush in the previously collected pollen from the father flower, and gently dab it on the stigma of the mother flower. One artificial pollination is completed.
"Last May, we artificially pollinated more than 50,000 rose flowers, an average of nearly 2,000 flowers a day," Zhao Shiwei (赵世伟) said. After pollination, the flowers go through fruit setting, sowing, and seedling raising, and about 100,000 hybrid offspring can survive. "We need to further screen them and keep the plants that perform well in terms of disease resistance and flowering, and then cultivate and screen them again. In the end, only seven or eight plants may 'win'. The whole process takes 8 to 10 years, which can be described as 万里挑一 (wàn lǐ tiāo yī - "select one from ten thousand," one in a million; extremely rare or outstanding)."
It is reported that the Beijing Institute of Landscape Science has been engaged in rose research, breeding, and promotion and application for more than 30 years. In recent years, it has expanded the rose planting area, built rose breeding greenhouses, and continuously improved breeding technology to improve breeding efficiency. "When it comes to the pollination period, in addition to the collective efforts of researchers, we also recruit volunteers to pollinate the roses," Zhao Shiwei (赵世伟) said, adding that the volunteer activities have attracted enthusiastic participation from citizens and have also added to the breeding work.
Roses play an important role in urban greening in Beijing (北京). At present, breeding experts are working hard to cultivate more low-maintenance, ecologically economical rose varieties. "If the disease resistance and flowering ability of rose varieties are better, less spraying and pruning can be done, which can reduce maintenance costs and better protect the ecological environment," said Feng Hui (冯慧), a professor-level senior engineer at the Beijing Institute of Landscape Science.
With the continuous efforts of breeding experts, new rose varieties have emerged in recent years. The Beijing Institute of Landscape Science has cultivated new rose varieties such as "New Era (新时代)", "Red May (红五月)", and "Spring Tide (春潮)", and a total of 46 self-bred varieties have obtained new variety certificates from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration (国家林草局).

Return to TopThis year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the power planning and design industry in New China. Shouldering the mission of serving the country through energy, China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (中国电力工程顾问集团有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "CPECC") resonates and progresses alongside the development of energy and power. From a difficult start in its early days to a global leader under the "dual carbon" goals, generations of builders have worked tirelessly, and CPECC has achieved a leapfrog development from catching up, keeping pace, to leading, helping China build the world's largest and technologically advanced power and energy system, and injecting continuous impetus into the world's sustainable development with "Chinese standards" and "Chinese solutions."
Entrepreneurship: Exploring Power Planning and Design
Northeast Electric Power Design Institute (东北电力设计院), a subsidiary of CPECC, was founded on May 28, 1950, formerly known as the Design Department of the Northeast Electric Power Administration, marking the birth of New China's first professional power survey and design institution.
This was a vanguard team of only 12 people at the beginning, with the spirit of **舍我其谁** (shě wǒ qí shuí - "who else but me," an attitude of taking responsibility) and selfless dedication, successively completing China's first self-designed thermal power plant and the first 220 kV transmission line project on the Songliao Plain, laying the cornerstone for the development of New China's power industry.
In January 1951, the Design Department received the design task for the Qiqihar Power Plant (齐齐哈尔发电厂) reconstruction project. This was China's first self-designed thermal power plant. Without design experience or complete power plant design data for reference, the team members learned and worked simultaneously, efficiently completing the drawing of more than 40 professional manufacturing drawings in just over a month. The power plant was completed and put into operation as scheduled, opening a new chapter in the independent design of New China's power industry.
On the southwest slope of the Fengman Hydropower Station (丰满水电站) in Jilin Province, stands a power transmission tower. This is the No. 1 tower of the Songdongli Line (松东李线), the first 220 kV transmission line designed and built by the Chinese themselves.
In July 1952, the Design Department received the design task for the Songdongli (Fengman-Dongling-Lishizhai) 220 kV transmission line project, code-named "Project 506." At that time, 220 kV represented the world's highest voltage level, and even the main design guidelines could not be determined. The design team continuously explored, started from scratch, learned and worked simultaneously, and completed New China's first 220 kV transmission line 67 days ahead of schedule on January 23, 1954. The commissioning of the Songdongli Line brought China into the world's ranks in terms of power transmission.
After 75 years of **筚路蓝缕** (bì lù lán lǚ - "driving a cart with a bamboo shaft and wearing tattered clothes," to start an undertaking in hardship), the design team of only 12 people has now grown into a leading enterprise in the world's energy engineering design, and has become a group company covering 24 design institutes and 3 overseas subsidiaries. In 2011, 6 regional institutes and 14 provincial institutes were transferred to China Energy Engineering Corporation Limited (中国能源建设股份有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "China Energy Construction"), realizing resource integration and forming the Energy Design and Consulting Group—China Energy Construction Planning and Design Group (中国能建规划设计集团) (now China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. (中国电力工程顾问集团有限公司)) in 2018. Since 2020, CPECC has ranked first among the "Top 60 Chinese Engineering Design Enterprises" for five consecutive years. CPECC has designed and built a large number of major projects, becoming a "Chinese business card" representing China's energy and power going to the world.

National work is crucial to the overall undertaking of the Party and the state. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, standing at the strategic height of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, has combined the Marxist concept of community, Marxist theory of nationality with the specific realities of China's ethnic issues and with China's outstanding traditional culture, and has clearly proposed taking forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line of the Party's ethnic work in the new era and the main line of various tasks in ethnic regions, forming Xi Jinping's important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work, and promoting the Party's ethnic work to achieve historic achievements. Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation contains a clear political orientation, profound strategic thinking, a strong historical responsibility, sincere people's feelings, and scientific thinking methods. It is a valuable ideological crystallization of the Communist Party of China's continuous expansion of the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics, making an important original contribution to enriching and developing Marxist theory of nationality, and providing a powerful ideological weapon for deepening the construction of the Chinese national community.
Opening up a New Realm of Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context and the Needs of the Times in Ethnic Theory
How to understand the basic laws of ethnic development and evolution and scientifically solve ethnic problems is a theoretical proposition that Marxist theory of nationality must answer in the process of explaining and transforming the world. Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is the culmination of the adaptation of the Marxist concept of community and Marxist theory of nationality to the Chinese context and the needs of the times, demonstrating our Party's re-understanding and new expansion of the laws of solving ethnic problems in the new era.
Innovatively developing the ethnic theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Marxist concept of community and Marxist theory of nationality are open and constantly developing systems. Engels pointed out: "The theoretical thinking of every era, including the theoretical thinking of our era, is a historical product, which has completely different forms in different eras, and at the same time has completely different contents." Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), based on the "two overall situations," has put forward a series of new ideas, new judgments, and new requirements around how to adhere to and improve the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics, forming Xi Jinping's important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work. This important thought is concentrated in the "twelve musts": We must grasp the historical orientation of the Party's ethnic work in the new era from the strategic height of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; we must take promoting all ethnic groups to jointly strive for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country as an important task of the Party's ethnic work in the new era; we must take forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line of the Party's ethnic work in the new era; we must adhere to the correct view of the history of the Chinese nation; we must adhere to the equality of all ethnic groups; we must hold high the banner of great unity of the Chinese nation; we must adhere to and improve the system of regional ethnic autonomy; we must build a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation; we must promote extensive exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups; we must adhere to governing ethnic affairs according to law; we must resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests; we must adhere to the Party's leadership over ethnic work. The "twelve musts" adhere to the combination of history and reality, domestic and international, theory and practice, and is a profound, logically rigorous, and systematically complete organic whole, scientifically answering the fundamental questions of "how to view" and "how to do" ethnic work in the new era, providing fundamental guidelines and action guides for the Party's ethnic work in the new era, and is a major leap in the ethnic theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Enriching and deepening the regularity understanding of Marxism in solving ethnic problems. The ultimate goal of Marxism is to achieve communism, that is, to build a "real community." Scientifically solving ethnic problems and serving the communist ideals of the proletariat is the starting point for the emergence and development of Marxist theory of nationality. The Marxist concept of community always emphasizes the need to criticize various forms of "false community" and build an ideal community based on socialism as a principle, thereby creating conditions for building a "real community." Marxist theory of nationality always regards ethnic issues as part of the overall social problem, advocating to lead ethnicity with class and people, and to solve ethnic problems based on the principle of ethnic equality, thereby achieving true unity and integration of all ethnic groups. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the people of all ethnic groups in our country have jointly created a new China" and "Only by continuously uniting and integrating and consciously integrating into the big family of the Chinese nation can all ethnic groups have a better future." This profoundly clarifies the fundamental direction of our Party in solving ethnic problems under socialist conditions, which is to take Marxism as the guide, continuously consolidate the ideological foundation for the common struggle of all ethnic groups, and unswervingly promote the construction of the Chinese national community, thereby specifically transforming our Party's highest ideals and ultimate goals of realizing communism and the historical strategic goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into the concepts and practical actions of promoting the forging of a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and the construction of the Chinese national community.
Scientifically summarizing the profound connotation of the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics. History, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, has repeatedly proven that without proper resolution of ethnic problems, there will be no unity and stability, and no lasting peace and stability. Marxism emphasizes that ethnicity, as an important form of community, is a historical phenomenon that will disappear only in communist society; where there are ethnic groups, there will be ethnic problems, which need to be solved, and a multi-ethnic community needs to be built based on the principles of proletarian revolution and socialism. Ethnic work has always been an important part of our Party's work. For more than 100 years, in the practice of exploring solutions to China's ethnic problems, our Party has adhered to the "soul" of Marxism and the "root" of China's outstanding traditional culture, transcending the limitations of traditional Chinese ethnic affairs governance and breaking away from the predicament of ethnic affairs governance in Western countries, and has embarked on a correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics. Entering the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) creatively and systematically summarized the scientific connotation of the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics, and emphasized that "this path focuses on the fundamental and overall interests of the Chinese nation, uniting all ethnic groups to the greatest extent, and realizing the common struggle and common prosperity and development of all ethnic groups; this path adheres to the equality of all ethnic groups, opposes ethnic oppression and ethnic discrimination, and ensures that people of all ethnic groups truly obtain equal political rights and jointly be masters of their own affairs; this path correctly grasps the relationship between safeguarding national unity and implementing regional ethnic autonomy, adheres to the combination of unity and autonomy, the combination of ethnic factors and regional factors, and promotes the Chinese nation to become a community with a higher degree of identity and stronger cohesion." These important expositions provide strong theoretical support for us to firmly believe in the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics.
Deeply Integrating Marxist Theory of Nationality with China's Outstanding Traditional Culture
Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation cannot be separated from the nourishment of China's outstanding traditional culture. China's outstanding traditional culture is an important part of Chinese civilization and is the crystallization of the wisdom of all ethnic groups nurtured by the five thousand years of civilization of the Chinese nation. Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation deeply integrates Marxist theory of nationality with China's outstanding traditional culture, highlighting its richness, uniqueness, and innovation, making it take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit in the new era.
Scientifically revealing the laws of formation and development of the Chinese nation. The Chinese nation has a million years of human history, ten thousand years of cultural history, and five thousand years of civilization history. In the long river of time, the Chinese nation has condensed from diversity into one, moved from history to the future, and moved from tradition to modernity, demonstrating unique laws of formation and development. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that the blood ties of all ethnic groups are the historical foundation for the formation and development of the Chinese national community; the same beliefs of all ethnic groups are the internal driving force for the Chinese nation to create a unified multi-ethnic country; the cultural commonalities of all ethnic groups are the cultural genes for the Chinese nation to forge a diverse and integrated civilization pattern; the economic interdependence of all ethnic groups is the powerful force for the Chinese nation to build a unified economic entity; the emotional affinity of all ethnic groups is the strong bond of the Chinese nation as one family. The historical evolution law of the Chinese nation shows the historical logic with "five commonalities" as the core, which is the correct view of the history of the Chinese nation profoundly explained by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平). General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "All ethnic groups in our country have jointly opened up the vast territory of the motherland, jointly created a unified multi-ethnic country, jointly written a glorious Chinese history, jointly created a splendid Chinese culture, and jointly cultivated the great national spirit. The formation and development of the Chinese national community is the aspiration of the people, the general trend, and the historical necessity." The correct view of the history of the Chinese nation profoundly answers the ultimate question and the question of the times of where the Chinese nation comes from and where it is going, not only transcending the traditional Central Plains Dynasty view of history, the Han chauvinistic view of history, and the local nationalist view of history, but also powerfully refuting a series of erroneous views of history concocted by some Western scholars.
Promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of the great unity thought of Chinese civilization. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The reason why all ethnic groups unite and integrate, and the reason why diversity gathers into one, stems from the cultural inclusiveness, economic interdependence, and emotional affinity of all ethnic groups, and stems from the internal driving force of the Chinese nation to pursue unity." The five thousand years of development history of the Chinese nation is a history of exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups, and the pursuit of national unity has always been the mainstream of Chinese historical development. The idea of great unity was conceived in the political practice of thousands of tribes in the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties on the Chinese land belonging to one royal power. The protracted wars during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods prompted people to yearn for unity and order even more, triggering debates among various schools of thought on how to govern the world peacefully, and returning to unity became a social consensus. It was under this historical trend that Qin established the great unified dynasty system, and Han established great unity as the mainstream ideology of the country. Since then, great unity has been regarded as the norm by successive dynasties and regarded by the Chinese as "the constant principle of heaven and earth and the common meaning of ancient and modern times." "Six harmonies with the wind, Kyushu sharing the same customs" and "Datong of the world" have become the common ideals of the Chinese nation. Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peacefulness, injecting profound civilizational connotations into forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, especially unity has become a unique civilizational feature and is the fundamental reason why the Chinese nation flows continuously and does not disperse when weak.
Consolidating the spiritual foundation of the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation. Cultural subjectivity is the inherent essential characteristic of a country and a nation, mainly manifested in the autonomy, consciousness, and creativity of cultural development. A culture must have subjectivity in order to have the leading power, cohesion, and radiation power to traverse time and space. Without full recognition of one's own culture, it is difficult to draw on the noble spirit inherited from thousands of years in China's outstanding traditional culture; without strong cultural self-confidence through self-reliance, there is no firm will to continue on the chosen path. To be firm in the path confidence, theoretical confidence, and institutional confidence of socialism with Chinese characteristics, in the final analysis, is to be firm in cultural confidence. Chinese culture is broad and profound, and the cultures of all ethnic groups have complemented each other and learned from each other in the long river of history. Chinese culture is the culmination of the cultures of all ethnic groups and is the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation. To forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is to strengthen the Chinese cultural identity of all ethnic groups, highlight the Chinese cultural subjectivity, and highlight the cultural confidence and civilizational consciousness of the Chinese nation facing the world and the future.
Deeply Promoting the Practical Path of Building the Chinese National Community
As soon as our Party was founded, it consciously shouldered the historical mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and was committed to leading the people of all ethnic groups across the country to move towards the ideal community and then towards the "real community." Since the founding of New China, the faces of ethnic minorities, the faces of ethnic regions, the faces of ethnic relations, and the faces of the Chinese nation have undergone earth-shaking historical changes. Especially since the new era, ethnic regions have won the battle against poverty alongside the rest of the country, built a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and embarked on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, and the Party's ethnic work has achieved new historical achievements. Forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation provides a fundamental guideline for the high-quality development of the Party's ethnic work and the comprehensive promotion of the construction of the Chinese national community.
Forming a new pattern of the Party's ethnic work in the new era. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the most reliable backbone of the people of all ethnic groups and is the leading core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Strengthening and improving the Party's overall leadership is the fundamental political guarantee for doing a good job in the Party's ethnic work in the new era." Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party's ethnic work system and mechanism have been systematically reshaped, forming a new pattern of the Party's ethnic work in the new era with the unified leadership of the Party committee, the government's administration according to law, the united front department's leading coordination, the ethnic work department's performance of duties, the cooperation of various departments, and the common participation of the whole society. The talent team for ethnic work has been continuously optimized, and the grassroots organizations and political power construction in ethnic regions have been effectively strengthened.
Constructing a scientific and complete theoretical system of the Chinese national community. The Chinese nation has its own unique history, and Western ethnic theories formed based on Western experience cannot scientifically explain the formation, development, and laws of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) put forward the major proposition of "forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation requires constructing a scientific and complete theoretical system of the Chinese national community," pointing out the direction for us to scientifically reveal the principles, theories, and philosophies of the formation and development of the Chinese nation. Only by optimizing discipline settings, strengthening discipline construction, grasping the research direction, deepening the research on major basic issues of the Chinese national community, basing ourselves on Chinese history, interpreting Chinese practice, and answering Chinese questions can we produce original theoretical achievements and form a Chinese-independent theoretical system of the Chinese national community, and then we can master the initiative of theory.
Continuously deepening the construction of a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation. Cultural identity is the deepest level of identity. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Building a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation must enhance the Chinese cultural identity." Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, publicity and education on the history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the development of the Chinese nation have been strengthened. Literary and artistic performances, cultural and museum exhibitions, literary creations, sports events, etc., aimed at enhancing the Chinese cultural identity, have been outstanding and effective. The popularization of the national common language and writing system, aimed at promoting the communication of hearts and minds, has been fully developed. The commonality of the Chinese nation in ideals and beliefs, spiritual pursuits, and values has been significantly enhanced, the spiritual bonds of unity and cohesion among the people of all ethnic groups have been continuously strengthened, and the spiritual and cultural support for the construction of the Chinese national community has been continuously consolidated.
Promoting all ethnic groups to jointly advance the Chinese path to modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The Chinese nation is a big family, and everyone in the family must live a good life" and "In advancing the Chinese path to modernization and achieving common prosperity, no ethnic group can be left behind." Since the new era, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the unremitting efforts of the people of all ethnic groups, all rural impoverished people in the eight ethnic provinces and regions under the current standards have been lifted out of poverty, more than 30 million people have been lifted out of poverty in ethnic regions, all 420 impoverished counties in national autonomous areas across the country have been lifted out of poverty, and all 28 ethnic groups with smaller populations have been lifted out of poverty as a whole. The problems of absolute poverty and regional overall poverty that have plagued ethnic minorities and ethnic regions for thousands of years have been historically resolved, and 56 ethnic groups have jointly entered a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and are now striding forward with high spirits on the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.
Promoting all-round deepening of exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "It is necessary to correctly grasp the relationship between commonality and difference." This is an important principle for theoretically understanding and practically promoting exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups in the Chinese nation. Ethnic work departments have continuously formulated and improved policies to promote extensive exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups, the creation of ethnic unity and progress has been continuously optimized, the people of all ethnic groups have increasingly formed social conditions of living, studying, building, sharing, working, and enjoying together, the new distribution characteristics of large-scale population mobility and large-scale integration have become increasingly prominent, and the all-round "embedded" pattern in various levels such as space, economy, society, culture, and psychology has been continuously deepened.
The level of rule of law in ethnic affairs governance continues to improve. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "It is necessary to govern ethnic affairs according to law and continuously improve the ability and level of ethnic affairs governance." As the main governance method of modern society, governing the country according to law is an inevitable requirement for promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities. The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party proposed: "Formulate a law on promoting ethnic unity and progress, improve the institutional mechanism for forging a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation, and enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the conscious awareness of ethnic work departments at all levels in governing ethnic affairs on the track of the rule of law has been significantly enhanced, the social atmosphere of educating and guiding people of all ethnic groups to respect, study, abide by, and use the law has become increasingly strong, and the system of ethnic policies and laws and regulations involving ethnic affairs has been continuously improved. Ethnic affairs have been incorporated into the social governance pattern of joint construction, joint governance, and sharing. Relying on the social governance system of Party committee leadership, government responsibility, democratic consultation, social coordination, public participation, rule of law guarantee, and technological support, contradictions and disputes involving ethnic factors are effectively resolved at the grassroots level and nipped in the bud.

Youth shines through perseverance, and life is sublimated through struggle. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "The vast number of young people must unswervingly listen to the Party and follow the Party, embrace dreams and be down-to-earth, dare to think and act, and be good at doing things and achieving success." Today's China is striving forward on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, and moving courageously towards the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The new era has given young people more responsibilities and missions. How to shoulder this responsibility and mission is a topic that every young person must deeply consider.
Marx wrote in "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte": "Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past." Marxist historical materialism scientifically explains the decisive role of objective conditions in the evolution of human civilization. Whether it is the innovation of economic systems, the transformation of political systems, the outbreak of technological revolutions, or the leap of social forms, specific historical conditions are needed as a foundation. It is precisely through accurately grasping the main contradictions of different historical stages and attaching great importance to the objective conditions of social development that we have come all the way and written world-renowned development miracles in the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
Social development is like this, and so is human development. Li Bai (李白), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once left the heroic lines "There will be times when long winds break waves, and hang the clouds and sails to cross the sea." Riding the wind and waves is fascinating, but it is difficult to achieve without the help of sails; even with sails, it is difficult to succeed without perseverance. To succeed, conditions are always needed. It is not enough to have lofty aspirations, and it is not enough to only have lofty aspirations. To solve any complex problem, we must explore the laws, create conditions, grasp the conditions, be down-to-earth, and practice diligently to succeed.
With strong winds and full sails, the sea and sky are wide, and youth writes a splendid chapter without regrets. On the forefront of technological innovation, in the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, life sciences, and renewable energy, young scientists bravely climb to the peak and overcome one technical difficulty after another; on the grand stage of comprehensive rural revitalization, many young cadres like Huang Wenxiu (黄文秀) take root at the grassroots level and use their wisdom, sweat, and even life to irrigate the fields of hope; on the front lines of fighting natural disasters and responding to emergencies, young volunteers step forward and show a spirit of selfless dedication; in the vast world of international exchanges and cooperation, young students consciously act as cultural ambassadors, telling Chinese stories and spreading Chinese voices... In today's era, countless young people take their dreams as horses and live up to their youth. In the dialectical unity of "creating conditions" and "grasping conditions," they are writing a brilliant chapter belonging to youth. Facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges, the vast number of young people can only let life bloom with the most dazzling light by firmly establishing ideals and beliefs, standing firm in the people's position, developing excellent skills, and devoting themselves to the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, and integrating personal ideals into the overall situation of national development.
More than 100 years ago, Li Dazhao (李大钊) wrote in "Youth" to Chinese youth: "With the youth of myself, create a youthful family, a youthful country, a youthful nation, a youthful humanity, a youthful earth, a youthful universe..." Today, the ship of history is sailing towards the magnificent ocean of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As the pioneers of the times, young people are not only "wind riders" who take advantage of the situation, but also "sailors" who stand at the forefront of the tide. Only by following the laws of historical materialism, accurately grasping the objectivity of realistic conditions, and fully exerting subjective initiative, can we promote social development through systematic construction, careful preparation, and scientific utilization of necessary conditions, and move forward in the surging tide of the times with faith as the rudder and hard work as the oar, so that the sails of youth will always be raised high.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Youth is the hope of the country and the future of the nation." In this era full of infinite possibilities and hope, starting towards the rising sun and advancing towards the sea of stars, no matter how tortuous and bumpy the road ahead is, as long as there are aspirations in the heart, there will be strength under the feet, and the vast number of young friends will live up to their youth and realize their youthful dreams in the great journey of promoting Chinese-style modernization.

Artificial intelligence, as a strategic technology leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, is profoundly changing the way people live and work. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "We must grasp the development trends and laws of artificial intelligence, accelerate the formulation and improvement of relevant laws and regulations, policy systems, application norms, and ethical guidelines, construct a technical monitoring, risk early warning, and emergency response system, and ensure that artificial intelligence is safe, reliable, and controllable." This points the direction for us to promote the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence. The social credit system, as an important component of the national governance system, plays an important role in regulating market order, optimizing resource allocation, and promoting fair competition. A sound social credit system will provide new ideas and effective paths for promoting the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence. To implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important speech, we must correctly understand the important role of the social credit system in promoting the development of artificial intelligence, promote the deep integration and coordinated development of the social credit system and artificial intelligence, and enable artificial intelligence to better serve economic and social development and benefit the people.
Artificial intelligence is a new field of human development. Our Party attaches great importance to the development of artificial intelligence. In recent years, it has improved top-level design, strengthened work deployment, and promoted the overall and systematic leap in China's comprehensive strength in artificial intelligence. While artificial intelligence brings unprecedented development opportunities, it also brings risks and challenges, such as widespread discussions on data security and privacy protection, which not only involve the technical level, but also concern multiple fields such as society, law, and ethics. If these are not addressed in a timely and effective manner, it will be detrimental to the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence.
Strengthening the construction of the social credit system is conducive to creating a stable, fair, and credible environment for the development of artificial intelligence, and promoting the safe, reliable, and sustainable development of artificial intelligence technology. For example, by establishing a credit evaluation mechanism covering the entire life cycle of artificial intelligence research and development applications, and conducting comprehensive and dynamic assessments of the credit status of research and development enterprises, application entities, and data providers, it can guide factor resources to gather towards business entities with good credit and strong technical strength, and encourage enterprises to increase investment in technological innovation, security, and privacy protection, thereby promoting the benign competition and orderly development of the artificial intelligence industry. For another example, integrating integrity values into the research and development, application, and management of artificial intelligence technology, and forming industry ethical guidelines with broad binding force, can prevent the risk of technology abuse from the source and lay a solid foundation for the large-scale promotion and application of artificial intelligence.
From a practical perspective, the construction of the social credit system has broad application space in helping the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence. In the data governance环节, strengthening the supervision of the legality of data sources, the compliance of data use, and the reliability of data quality through credit means can, to a certain extent, solve the current problems of data silos, data abuse, and data security faced by the development of artificial intelligence, promote the efficient circulation and rational utilization of data elements, and provide sufficient and high-quality data resources for the training of artificial intelligence large models; In the field of market supervision, the credit-based hierarchical and classified supervision model can implement differentiated supervision measures according to the credit risk status of different business entities, which can not only improve supervision efficiency and reduce supervision costs, but also create a relatively relaxed and fair market environment for compliant artificial intelligence enterprises; In terms of innovative applications, relying on the achievements of the social credit system construction to accelerate the innovative application of artificial intelligence in finance, medical care, transportation and other fields can spawn more credit-based artificial intelligence innovative products and service models, such as credit assessment model optimization, intelligent risk control system upgrades, etc., thereby promoting cross-industry and cross-field collaborative cooperation and injecting new impetus into economic and social development.
At the same time, the development and application of artificial intelligence also provides new opportunities for strengthening the construction of the social credit system. At present, China has built a national credit information sharing platform, which has collected more than 80.7 billion pieces of credit information from 180 million business entities. With its powerful analysis and processing capabilities, artificial intelligence can release the value of data elements, promote the accelerated transformation of credit information from static storage to dynamic application, and inject strong impetus into the construction of the social credit system; It can build a more scientific, accurate, stable, and reliable credit evaluation system, greatly improve the quality of credit services such as credit evaluation, credit rating, and credit scoring, and compress the living space for dishonest behavior; and so on. This will further create a good environment for the development of artificial intelligence.
In March of this year, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Improving the Social Credit System," which provides a basic support for high-quality economic and social development. We must seize the opportunity to promote the integration of the social credit system construction into the development process of artificial intelligence, and create a good credit environment for the innovative breakthroughs and widespread application of artificial intelligence technology. Specifically, we can highlight application orientation and create application scenarios such as "artificial intelligence + credit data governance," "artificial intelligence + credit rating," and "artificial intelligence + credit supervision" to promote the deep integration and innovative application of artificial intelligence in the construction of the social credit system. Strengthen the "hub" function of the national credit information sharing platform for credit information collection and sharing, promote the deep connection and data sharing between the national sharing platform and industry credit information systems, and improve the sharing level of commercial contract information, industrial chain information, and transaction information under the premise of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of credit entities and information security. At the same time, improve the credit-based supervision and governance mechanism in the artificial intelligence industry, adhere to the principles of people-oriented, integrity-based, and intelligent for good, incorporate algorithm transparency, data compliance, and other factors into the consideration of integrity behavior, improve the artificial intelligence integrity self-discipline norms, strengthen the artificial intelligence industry integrity self-discipline construction, and ensure the steady and long-term development of the artificial intelligence industry with a sound credit system.

In early summer, both north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are adorned with a tapestry of vibrant flowers. From May 24th to 26th, media representatives and international students participating in the 2025 SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) Youth Cultural Exchange Camp (上合组织国家青年文化交流营), hereinafter referred to as "the Exchange Camp," visited Kuqa City (库车市), Baicheng County (拜城县) in Aksu Prefecture (阿克苏地区), and Urumqi City (乌鲁木齐市) in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) to conduct on-site visits and research, touching the pulse of cultural exchange and experiencing the vigorous vitality of Xinjiang's economic and social development.
"Showcasing China's profound historical and cultural heritage"
Kuqa, formerly known as "Guizi" (龟兹), was an important transportation hub on the ancient Silk Road. Ancient Chinese, Indian, Persian, and other cultural elements exchanged and merged here, producing the brilliant Guizi culture.
The first stop of the Exchange Camp was the Guizi Museum (龟兹博物馆). The museum has a construction area of 16,000 square meters and exhibits more than 700 cultural relics (sets), including representative collections such as Guizi documents and fragments of murals from the Thousand Buddha Caves. The exhibits include "Tang Dynasty Musical Figure Pottery Reliefs" (唐伎乐人物陶浮雕) that witness the exchange and development of the Western Regions and Central Plains cultures, "Tang Dynasty Stone Carved Auspicious Buddha" (唐石刻华吉祥佛) that showcases the Sinicization process of Buddhism, and "Guizi Brocade" (龟兹锦) that embodies the superb handicraft technology of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
"The museum's collection is very rich, showcasing China's profound historical and cultural heritage. I also saw some decorations and patterns similar to Egyptian cultural relics, which shows the close cultural exchanges on the ancient Silk Road." Mohamed Moussa, Director of the Arabic News Department of the Middle East News Agency of Egypt, specially produced a graphic report on the museum to introduce Chinese history and traditional culture to the Egyptian people.
The Kizil Grottoes (克孜尔石窟) in Baicheng County are one of the treasures of Buddhist culture and art. It was excavated around the 3rd century AD and is the earliest and westernmost large-scale Buddhist grottoes in China. Members of the Exchange Camp strolled through it, gazing at the mottled Danqing, and appreciating the collision and integration of Eastern and Western civilizations.
"The mural art here has a strong aesthetic, and the character images and color matching of the paintings have many commonalities with Burmese art." Win Wah Han, host of Myanmar We Media Company, said that China's meticulous protection of mural art and the use of technical means to monitor humidity and temperature impressed her deeply.
The Kizilgaha Beacon Tower (克孜尔尕哈烽燧) in Kuqa City reflects the wisdom of the Han Dynasty in governing the Western Regions more than 2,000 years ago. The Kizilgaha Beacon Tower and the beacon towers along the line constitute a strict defense system, which, together with the garrison of reclaimed land and the management of the Western Regions Protectorate, maintains the peace and tranquility of the Western Regions and ensures the smooth flow of the ancient Silk Road business road. The remaining height of the beacon tower is about 13 meters, and it is the best-preserved and largest ancient beacon tower in Xinjiang.
"China has made a lot of efforts in the protection and preservation of cultural relics. Protecting historical sites is of great significance. They are not only a precious link connecting the present with history, but also provide valuable reference and inspiration for our future development," said Necdet Özçelik, International News Editor of the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet.
"Providing reference for countries to achieve green energy transition"
In recent years, based on its resource endowment, location advantages, and industrial foundation, Xinjiang has vigorously promoted scientific and technological innovation and strived to build ten industrial clusters, including oil and gas production and processing, green animal husbandry products and high-quality fruits and vegetables, culture and tourism, and high-quality development has continuously taken new steps.
Walking into China Petrochemical New Star Company Xinjiang Green Hydrogen New Energy Co., Ltd. (中国石化新星公司新疆绿氢新能源有限公司), standing in front of the intelligent control screen, members of the Exchange Camp gained an in-depth understanding of the process of the project using local abundant solar energy resources to convert it into electricity for hydrogen production. The produced green hydrogen can replace the traditional natural gas hydrogen production method and promote the green transformation and upgrading of oil refining products.
"The development of Xinjiang in the field of new energy is amazing. This innovative development model provides a reference for countries to achieve green energy transition," said Mohamed Ali, International Affairs Manager of Maldives Public Service Media.
In Urumqi, the modern pharmaceutical production line of Xinjiang Xinqi Kang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (新疆新奇康药业股份有限公司) attracted the attention of members of the Exchange Camp. The company has built a complete industrial chain from the planting of Chinese medicinal materials to research and development, production, and sales. "There are a wide variety of medicinal materials here, and the production process has also been standardized." Muhammad Asadi, China News Editor of Pakistan International News Agency, said that many Pakistani people are "fans" of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine, and hope that Pakistan and China will carry out more cooperation in the field of traditional medicine.
Walking into the production base of Xinjiang Gaoxin Plant Factory Technology Development Co., Ltd. (新疆高新植物工厂科技开发股份有限公司), rows of five- to six-meter-high tomato trellises stand on both sides of the aisle, and the lush and strong vines are covered with red fruits. The sour and sweet taste was unanimously praised by members of the Exchange Camp.
"How much is the annual output of tomatoes here, and are they exported to other countries?" "How high can the seedlings grow at most?"... During the visit, Sergeyeva Valeria, a Kazakh student from Xinjiang University (新疆大学), asked questions from time to time. The staff introduced that Gaoxin Plant Factory uses soilless cultivation and drip irrigation technology, which not only saves energy and water, but also has considerable output benefits. The annual output of tomatoes per mu of ordinary agricultural land is at most six or seven tons, while the annual output of tomatoes per mu of Gaoxin Plant Factory can reach forty to fifty tons.
"This is amazing! I hope that greenhouse planting technology can be promoted to Kazakhstan to help us increase production and benefit more consumers," said Valeria.
"I love China, I want to come here again"
The rich atmosphere of everyday life is the warm soul of a city. Guizi Alley (龟兹小巷) is the most complete preserved block of street patterns and features in the old city of Kuqa during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The cultural block is planned by cadres in the jurisdiction and residents spontaneously participate in the layout and construction. The entire block has both the characteristics of a popular tourist attraction and the strong living atmosphere of local residents.
Tasting "giant naan" that is "as big as a wheel," dancing with local residents, and taking photos at various check-in points... Walking in Guizi Alley, members of the Exchange Camp who came to visit were busy.
When visiting the Historical and Cultural City Exhibition Hall, members of the Exchange Camp wrote their visiting comments on the message wall. Urukova Begimai, a Kyrgyz student from Xinjiang University, left a message saying: "I love China, I want to come here again!" She said with emotion that Kuqa has a unique charm, and she will slow down and savor it carefully next time she comes.
Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar (新疆国际大巴扎) is a successful example of the integration of culture and tourism in Xinjiang. It brings together characteristic commodities, food, and folk culture performances from all over Xinjiang, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists.
On the evening of May 26, the lights came on. The Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar was bustling with people, and members of the Exchange Camp were deeply attracted by the lively scene in front of them. Some happily tasted the special delicacies on the stalls, some focused on recording the exquisite craftsmanship of craftsmen making copperware, and some praised the colorful Atlas silk. In the central square, the lively Meshrep music sounded, and young people from various countries also joined the dance team. Cheerful dance steps, warm applause, and hearty laughter rose one after another.
This Xinjiang research trip allowed members of the Exchange Camp to appreciate the unique charm of Silk Road culture and see a dynamic and innovative Xinjiang. "For me, this journey will be a very beautiful memory. Because I met many shining people here, felt the exchange and integration of different civilizations, and also witnessed the happy life of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang," said Anna Fomina, senior reporter of Russian TASS News Agency.

Printed walls, retro shops, diamond-shaped window lattices... In Kuqa Turtle Back Alley (龟兹小巷) in Aksu Prefecture (阿克苏地区), Xinjiang (新疆), a blend of historical and modern atmosphere rushes towards you. Stepping into the former residence of local folk artist Nisha Khan Abduwaili (尼沙汗·阿布都外力), the spacious and tidy rectangular courtyard is filled with melodious Xinjiang folk songs, and girls in yellow dresses and felt hats dance nimbly. While dancing, they invite members of the 2025 SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) (上合组织) National Youth Cultural Exchange Camp to experience the Xinjiang customs. Their hearty laughter echoes in the small courtyard, and their bright smiles remain in the lenses of Chinese and foreign youths.
Beautiful Xinjiang (新疆), smiles are everywhere. In restaurants, diners share interesting stories of life amidst laughter; in front of residences, hosts invite friends to visit with smiles; on campuses, students chase and play with laughter... Every bright smiling face is filled with heartfelt confidence and happiness.
Bright smiles come from the continuous improvement of the people's sense of gain and satisfaction. Currently, more than 70,000 mu of roses in Yutian County (于田县), Hotan Prefecture (和田地区), have ushered in the picking season, and the roses adorn the desert with bright colors. On November 28 last year, with the planting of the last rose seedling in Yutian County (于田县), the blank area of the battle to prevent desertification on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert (塔克拉玛干沙漠) was successfully "closed." Taking roses as a link, Yutian County (于田县) has extended the industrial chain, from fresh flower picking to essential oil extraction, from flower tea production to cosmetics research and development, forming a diversified and three-dimensional industrial pattern. Roses that have both ecological and economic benefits are blooming, becoming a happy industry that improves the ecological environment and promotes prosperity and income.
Bright smiles come from the continuous continuation of national unity and friendship. "Wang Meng Aka (王蒙阿卡) ('brother' in Uyghur), 55 years..." "Mayinur (玛依努尔), Mayinur (玛依努尔), Okeshaxi (欧克夏西) ('same as before' in Uyghur)..." "Let's go home." On May 21, the famous writer Wang Meng (王蒙) went to Xinhe County (新和县), Aksu Prefecture (阿克苏地区), to visit his old friend Mayinur (玛依努尔). Since meeting in Ili (伊犁) in 1969, this friendship has been enduring through correspondence. "This is a group photo of our family of three, this is you holding my daughter Yihuan (伊欢), this is Yihuan (伊欢) at 20..." Those memories sealed by the years are revived in the tacit understanding of the two old people smiling at each other.
Bright smiles come from the continuous expansion of opening up and development. On May 25, the 2025 Xinjiang (新疆) Tourism Development Conference opened in Kuqa City (库车市), with guests from home and abroad gathered together. In 2024, Xinjiang (新疆) received 5.1483 million inbound tourists, achieving international tourism revenue of 4.475 billion US dollars, an increase of 46% and 174% respectively over the previous year. The beautiful natural scenery, the diverse and integrated cultural charm, and the harmonious scene of national unity... Today's Xinjiang (新疆) builds bridges with openness and cooperation, opens up new ways for tourism cooperation, brings richer experiences to global tourists, and jointly shapes a better future for tourism development.
"I love it here, largely because of the people's enthusiasm, joy, and colorful ethnic culture. I must come here again, make some Xinjiang (新疆) friends, and share joy with them," said Khawaja Iqbal (哈瓦贾·伊克巴尔), chief reporter of Pakistan Today Media, during the exchange.
Smiles convey heartfelt happiness and infect every tourist. Xinjiang (新疆), full of opportunities and enthusiasm, always opens its arms to the world.

"The cultural relics of Kuqa City (库车市) have a long history and are impressive," "The people here live happily and work in peace and contentment (安居乐业 (ān jū lè yè - "live in peace and be content in one's work," live and work in peace and contentment)"... On May 25th, a unique symposium was held at the "Silk Road Friendship Envoy" station in Kuqa City (库车市), Aksu Prefecture (阿克苏地区), Xinjiang (新疆). Media and international student representatives participating in the 2025 SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) Youth Cultural Exchange Camp enthusiastically shared their impressions of their visit to Xinjiang (新疆) and offered suggestions for strengthening cultural exchanges among SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) countries.
"Before, my friends told me that Xinjiang (新疆) is beautiful. After visiting it myself, I found that it is not only beautiful, but also has very rapid economic development." Yala Ibrahim (雅拉·易卜拉欣), Director of the China Research Department of the Hikmat Cultural Industry Group Tahreer Research Center in Egypt, said that this is her fourth time coming to China and her first time coming to Xinjiang (新疆). Ibrahim (易卜拉欣) said that Xinjiang (新疆) combines modernity and tradition in its development, bringing a unique experience to tourists. "After returning to Egypt, I must tell my friends the truth about this place and let them all come and see it."
"I have been to Beijing (北京) and Kunming (昆明), Yunnan (云南), and this time I came to Xinjiang (新疆), I gained a unique and wonderful cultural experience." Wen Wahan (温瓦涵), host of Myanmar's Wedia Media Company, said that although she does not speak the language, she can still feel the local people's hospitality and heartfelt happiness.
"I truly saw the happy life of the people in Xinjiang (新疆), which is completely different from the descriptions of some Western media." Muhammad Asadi (穆罕默德·阿萨迪), China News Editor of Pakistan International News Agency, said that the historic ancient city of Kuqa (库车古城) and the lively Grand Bazaar (大巴扎) reflect Xinjiang's (新疆) emphasis on protecting historical culture and inheriting cultural traditions.
Sultan Al-Balooshi (苏丹·阿尔巴卢什), host of Dubai TV in the United Arab Emirates, said that the significance of development is not limited to one place. Promoting successful development experiences can drive more regions to accelerate development. "Cooperation within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation can help all parties deepen exchanges, bridge differences, and share development experiences. In this process, media practitioners should become envoys of exchange and use heartfelt and sincere reports to show the actual situation."
Ong Che Chan Nara (翁·切占那拉), a senior multimedia reporter for Cambodia's Koh Santepheap Daily, said that Koh Santepheap Daily is willing to actively cooperate with the media of SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) countries to conduct comprehensive reports on the development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation through social media, television, the Internet and other platforms, and open up broader space for media cooperation.
The "Silk Road Friendship Envoy" station in Kuqa City (库车市) is a comprehensive cultural space jointly established by the China International Culture Exchange Center, the People's Daily Global People Magazine, and the local government, integrating the functions of international cultural exchange, academic seminars, cooperation negotiations, and achievement display for the "Belt and Road" initiative.

A series of China-Europe freight trains travel westward from the Urumqi International Land Port (乌鲁木齐国际陆港) in Xinjiang (新疆), and batches of cross-border trucks quickly clear customs at the Horgos Port (霍尔果斯口岸)... The high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" is being promoted in depth, and Xinjiang (新疆) is resolutely expanding its high-level opening to the outside world.
Recently, foreign journalists participating in the 2025 SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) (上合组织) National Media Cooperation Forum conducted research and interviews in Xinjiang (新疆). Xinjiang's (新疆) high-level opening to the outside world has brought trade prosperity, development opportunities, and people-to-people bonds among SCO (上合组织) countries, which has left a deep impression on everyone.
From "Channel" to "Hub"
Building a New Highland for High-Level Opening to the Outside World
Locomotives shuttle back and forth, and operations never stop. Stepping into the Urumqi International Land Port Area (乌鲁木齐国际陆港区) and arriving at the China-Europe Freight Train (Urumqi) Assembly Center (中欧班列（乌鲁木齐）集结中心), a series of China-Europe freight trains travel westward, reaching Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦) in 2 days, Russia (俄罗斯) in 8 days, and the Netherlands (荷兰) in 16 days.
Not long ago, the "Smart Railway Port + Local Rapid Customs Clearance" reform carried out by Urumqi Customs (乌鲁木齐海关) and China Railway Urumqi Bureau Group Co., Ltd. (中国铁路乌鲁木齐局集团有限公司) was launched in Horgos Port (霍尔果斯口岸) and Urumqi International Land Port Area (乌鲁木齐国际陆港区). This reform has reduced the transit time for imported goods from 2-3 days to within 16 hours, and the transit time for locally exported goods from 6 hours to 1 hour.
In recent years, the Urumqi International Land Port Area (乌鲁木齐国际陆港区) has accelerated the creation of a hub economic circle characterized by "multimodal transport," adopting a "collection and consolidation" logistics organization model, allowing China-Europe freight trains to change from "passing through" to "assembling" in Urumqi (乌鲁木齐), and upgrading from "channel economy" to "hub economy."
In the past three years, the cargo volume at Xinjiang's (新疆) railway ports has maintained double-digit growth. In 2024, the cargo volume reached 28.65 million tons, accounting for nearly 70% of the cargo volume at Xinjiang's (新疆) land ports and 1/3 of the cargo volume at national railway ports; 16,000 China-Europe (Central Asia) freight trains passed through, accounting for more than 50% of the country's total. Xinjiang's (新疆) key role as a golden channel connecting Asia and Europe and a bridgehead for opening to the west has been continuously strengthened.
"In recent years, China (中国) has insisted on expanding its opening to the outside world. We have seen the changes that opening up has brought to Xinjiang's (新疆) development," said Mahendra Subedi, editor-in-chief of the Nepalese Diplomat News Network.
From Port Trade to Industrial Integration
Rapid Development Brings New Opportunities
Horgos (霍尔果斯) is known as the "Millennium Post Station." In this historically significant border trade town, a National Gate Culture Exhibition Hall, transformed from the fifth-generation national gate, tells the story of the Silk Road spanning thousands of years and also narrates the importance of opening up and cooperation for countries jointly building the "Belt and Road."
Jinyi International Trade Co., Ltd. (金亿国际贸易有限公司), an agricultural product export enterprise born in Horgos (霍尔果斯), has become one of the leading fruit and vegetable export enterprises radiating throughout Central Asia in just over a decade since its establishment.
"In recent years, the rapid development of Horgos Port (霍尔果斯口岸) has created better conditions for the export of fruit and vegetable products," said Yu Chengzhong (于成忠), chairman of Jinyi International Trade Co., Ltd. (金亿国际贸易有限公司). "In the past, it took two to three days for exported fruit and vegetable products to clear customs at the port. Now, with the green channel for rapid customs clearance of agricultural products, Chinese vegetables and fruits can be placed on the shelves of supermarkets in Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦) within a day."
Smoother ports have driven the rapid development of a group of export-oriented enterprises and brought new opportunities for Xinjiang's (新疆) development.
Walking into the China-Kazakhstan Horgos International Border Cooperation Center (中哈霍尔果斯国际边境合作中心), merchants from China (中国) and Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦) and tourists from all over can be seen everywhere. This is the first cross-border economic and trade cooperation zone established by China (中国) with other countries. Since its closure and operation 13 years ago, it has gathered nearly 30 key projects in the fields of star-rated hotels, catering and entertainment, commercial facilities, and financial services, becoming an important platform for economic and trade exchanges and cultural exchanges between China (中国) and Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦).
In recent years, with the increasing demand for cross-border logistics vehicles, international self-driving tours, and vehicle maintenance in Central Asian countries in Horgos (霍尔果斯), cross-border maintenance services have emerged. At the Cross-border International Automobile Service Center in the cooperation center, staff are inspecting and repairing vehicles from Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦). As the largest land port for automobile exports in the country, Horgos Port (霍尔果斯口岸) exported 421,000 vehicles last year, an increase of 38.6% year-on-year.
"The development of the Horgos International Border Cooperation Center (霍尔果斯国际边境合作中心) is amazing," said SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) (上海合作组织) Deputy Secretary-General Sohail Khan after the visit. "Exploring how to replicate the successful experience of the Horgos International Border Cooperation Center (霍尔果斯国际边境合作中心) is of great significance for promoting the construction of similar projects in more countries."
From Traditional to Modern
Strengthening Cultural Exchanges with an Open Attitude
Various cultural and creative products are irresistible, long queues form in front of "nang coffee," the stall owner skillfully plucks the strings of the Dutar, and the cheerful melody intertwines with the shouts of vendors... At night, the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar (新疆国际大巴扎) in Urumqi (乌鲁木齐) becomes lively, and Chinese and foreign tourists can be seen everywhere.
"Xinjiang's (新疆) scenery and songs and dances are truly inexhaustible to the eyes and ears," exclaimed Abbas Aslani, editor-in-chief of the Iranian Subtle News Network.
Xinjiang (新疆) has both historical sites such as the Jiaohe Ancient City (交河故城) and the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves (克孜尔千佛洞), as well as the living inheritance of intangible cultural heritage such as the Kazakh Aytes (哈萨克族阿依特斯) and the Mongolian Janger (蒙古族江格尔). At present, Xinjiang's (新疆) intangible cultural heritage list has more than 5,000 items.
Relying on the "Culture Nourishing Xinjiang" project and through the "Digital Silk Road" plan, Xinjiang (新疆) has moved the patterns of Atlas silk and the techniques of mulberry paper making to international cloud exhibitions, attracting a large number of foreign "fans."
In recent years, Xinjiang (新疆) has actively organized cultural exchange activities around the world, and a batch of videos showcasing Xinjiang's (新疆) cuisine and scenery have become "hits" on overseas social media.
According to statistics, in 2024, Xinjiang (新疆) received 5.148 million inbound tourists, an increase of 46% year-on-year.
"During this trip to Xinjiang (新疆), I saw the development of Xinjiang (新疆) and also gained a deeper understanding of the diversity, inclusiveness, and openness of Chinese culture," said Osama Sayed, editor-in-chief of the Egyptian Al-Akhbar newspaper.
From mutual learning among civilizations to a shared future, Xinjiang (新疆) is writing a new chapter on the Silk Road with its cultural charm and open attitude.

In May, the Xinjiang Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture (新疆伊犁哈萨克自治州) is lush with vegetation and blessed with a warm breeze. Foreign journalists attending the 2025 SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) (上合组织) Media Cooperation Forum came to the Kazanqi (喀赞其) Folk Tourism Area in Yining City (伊宁市) and were deeply attracted by the local folk culture.
In a small courtyard, melodious music rang out. Jumakare Baheti (居麦卡热·巴和提), an elderly Uyghur man, was full of energy, playing the Yangqin (扬琴) and dancing the Samawal dance, earning rounds of applause. "I am very happy and hope everyone can come often!" As a representative inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, Jumakare Baheti, with the support of local government departments, has transformed his courtyard into an exhibition hall for ethnic musical instruments, a stage for performing ethnic dances, and a "folk home visit experience point."
In the Kazanqi (喀赞其) Folk Tourism Area, there are 88 such experience points. Through renovation and upgrading, the old city has become a large-scale cultural scenic spot integrating residential protection, cultural inheritance, and characteristic experiences, driving employment for more than 3,000 people, both protecting and inheriting historical and cultural heritage, and driving the masses to increase income and become rich.
The journalists came to the Liuxing Street (六星街) characteristic block in Yining (伊宁). At the Alexander Accordion Museum, several performers were playing music with different styles of accordions. After the performance, the staff introduced to everyone that they included Han (汉族), Tatar (塔塔尔族), Kazakh (哈萨克族), Manchu (满族), Uyghur (维吾尔族), Kyrgyz (柯尔克孜族)... Several performers stood up to salute, winning bursts of applause.
From ethnic restaurants, B&Bs, and handicraft shops to trendy cultural and creative shops, bars, and photography studios, Liuxing Street (六星街) today is home to people of various ethnic groups living together, with diverse business formats flourishing, directly driving employment for more than 2,000 people and indirectly driving employment for more than 7,000 people, of which more than 80% are ethnic minorities.
The long-standing folk culture and fashionable characteristic blocks have made Yining's (伊宁) tourism industry increasingly popular. According to statistics, from January 1 to May 23 this year, Yining City (伊宁市) received a cumulative total of 6,166,500 domestic tourists, an increase of nearly 17% year-on-year.
"The atmosphere here is very joyful, and the people are very friendly. I not only like to travel here, but also want to live and work here." Maha Asulam (玛哈·阿苏拉米), director of the commentary department of the Saudi Arabian newspaper Al-Watan, told reporters that she had been to Beijing (北京), Chengdu (成都) and other places last year, and this time she gained new experiences and surprises in Xinjiang (新疆). "I hope to visit more Chinese cities." After this in-depth experience, Sami El-Kamhawi (萨米·埃尔卡姆哈维), deputy editor-in-chief of the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram, said that he was deeply impressed by the scenes of people living happily in Xinjiang (新疆).

In the high-end agricultural machinery research and development and production base located in Urumqi (乌鲁木齐) City, Xinjiang (新疆), Yelena Obiedkova, Deputy Executive Editor-in-Chief of Rossiyskaya Gazeta website, and Kristina Lyakh, Head of Promotion Projects at the International Cooperation Department of the Russia Today International News Agency, helped each other take photos with cotton pickers. At the Xinjiang (新疆) Agricultural Expo Park, Alexey Zubok, Editor-in-Chief of Russian Red Line Television, said that he would convey the scenes he saw to the Russian people through video.
Recently, a media delegation participating in the 2025 SCO National Media Cooperation Forum visited Xinjiang (新疆) to experience the "new" development of Xinjiang's (新疆) agriculture.
Smart Agricultural Technology Enhances Production Efficiency
On the mobile multi-layer three-dimensional track cultivation system, leafy vegetables of varieties such as Cream Green, Fanny, and Aleste are lush and verdant. In the Smart Agriculture Technology Pavilion of the Xinjiang (新疆) Agricultural Expo Park, members of the interview group experienced the changes brought about by new agricultural technologies.
Tasting substrate-cultivated tomatoes, Naraly Asanbayev, former Editor-in-Chief of Kyrgyz newspaper Svobodnye Gory, said that Kyrgyzstan (吉尔吉斯斯坦) is a traditional agricultural country and has broad cooperation space with China in agricultural modernization and intelligent greenhouse construction.
Yan Ji (闫冀), head of the Smart Agriculture Technology Pavilion, introduced that AI algorithms process more than 100,000 data points per second, linking wet curtain fans, shading screens, supplementary lighting and other equipment to effectively control environmental fluctuations and ensure vegetable growth, shortening the growth cycle of leafy vegetables from 70 days to 18-25 days.
Through bionic spiral cultivation, container agriculture, multi-layer three-dimensional track cultivation, reciprocating rotary frame system and other cutting-edge modern agricultural technologies, the Smart Agriculture Technology Pavilion has three production methods: three-dimensional cultivation, planar circulation cultivation, and traction cultivation, greatly increasing the output value per unit area. Here, all equipment is connected to the 5G network and controlled by a central control system, realizing full automation from sowing to harvesting, and also saving labor, water and fertilizer.
Currently, the Smart Agriculture Technology Pavilion can produce 100,000 kilograms of leafy vegetables and 70,000 kilograms of tomatoes annually. "We have achieved more than 90% localization of equipment and more than 50 patent applications," said Yan Ji (闫冀).
It is understood that the Xinjiang (新疆) Agricultural Expo Park has introduced more than 2,000 new varieties, new technologies, and new equipment, transformed and demonstrated more than 100 technological achievements, and applied for more than 30 of its own patents.
Agricultural Machinery Gallops in Fertile Fields, Products Sold Overseas
Inside the production workshop, automated guided vehicles shuttle along preset routes, automatically identifying QR codes and transporting production materials from the立体仓库 (lìtǐ cāngkù - "three-dimensional warehouse") to the assembly line. On the assembly line, cotton pickers are being assembled in an orderly manner. Data such as equipment status, daily factory energy consumption, and product quality analysis are updated in real time on the digital screen.
This is the production base of Xinjiang Bosiran Intelligent Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. (新疆钵施然智能农机股份有限公司). "The production workshop produces one six-row baling cotton picker every 5.8 hours, with a monthly output of about 30 units," said Wu Yongcheng (吴永丞), Director of the General Manager's Office of Bosiran (钵施然) Company. "The production base has introduced equipment such as laser cutting machines and large CNC machine tools, which not only improves production efficiency but also further enhances product quality."
More than 10 various agricultural machines attracted the attention of the interview group members. Sherzod Isayev, Assistant to the President of the National News Agency of Uzbekistan, said that Chinese machinery is not only practical and reliable, but also has certain advantages in price.
"In 2024, Bosiran (钵施然) Company's cotton pickers had a market share of nearly 50%. In addition, the company continues to expand into the international market, and its four-row box-type cotton pickers and six-row baling cotton pickers are sold to Central Asia and countries and regions such as Australia and Egypt," said Zeng Xiaowen (曾晓文), Director of the After-Sales Service Center of the company.
Data shows that by the end of 2024, the comprehensive mechanization level of crop cultivation, planting, and harvesting in Xinjiang (新疆) reached 90%, ranking among the top in the country.
New Planting Models Achieve Smart Management
Wearing white shirts and operating drones in the fields... New technologies and new agricultural machinery are changing traditional planting models.
With the support of agricultural drones, agricultural Internet of Things, and smart agricultural management systems, Ai Haipeng (艾海鹏) and Ling Lei (凌磊), two post-90s farmers in Yuli (尉犁) County, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture (巴音郭楞蒙古自治州), manage thousands of acres of cotton fields. At the beginning, local farmers who had been planting cotton for decades shook their heads when they heard their plan, "3,000 acres of cotton fields require twenty or thirty people to manage. How can two young men with no farming experience succeed?"
The two young men adopted the "cotton-wheat intercropping" technology, effectively ensuring the emergence rate of cotton fields and greatly increasing the harvesting area; they used drones to spray pesticides throughout the process, reducing pesticide usage and costs; they used remote sensing drones to monitor the height of cotton plants, accurately recording changes in cotton growth height; they adopted intelligent water and fertilizer integration irrigation technology to reduce fertilizer usage... The two not only can manage, but also manage well and achieve high yields.
Hundreds of kilometers away in Manas (玛纳斯) County, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture (昌吉回族自治州), field management is also changing with the help of technology.
In May, when field management is busy, there are almost no people to be seen in the cotton fields of Manas (玛纳斯) County, and intelligent spraying machines shuttle back and forth. Song Guolin (宋国林), a large planting户 (n.b. not a proper noun, but a common term for a large farming household) in Shangzhuangzi Village (上庄子村), Letu驿镇 (乐土驿镇), Manas (玛纳斯) County, said: "The village has a professional agricultural machinery cooperative. All tractors are equipped with satellite navigation autopilot systems and new precision seeders, intelligent spraying machines and other new equipment. Machines do all the work from planting to harvesting."
Someone also reminds when to spray pesticides. Xu Rongwen (徐荣文), a villager in Guangfeng Village (广丰村), Guangdong地乡 (广东地乡), Manas (玛纳斯) County, told reporters that there are automatic observation devices in the cotton fields, and technicians will prompt her based on the automatic observation information. "Agricultural high technology has become our farmers' 'field nanny,' making farming easier and more confident," said Xu Rongwen (徐荣文).

As the melodious and graceful music of the Uyghur ethnic group began, performers successively ascended the stage. With graceful dances and sonorous singing, the audience erupted in applause... Recently, the media delegation of the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (上合组织) National Media Cooperation Forum visited the Muqam Art Troupe (木卡姆艺术团) of the Xinjiang Art Theater (新疆艺术剧院) to watch a performance of Xinjiang Uyghur Muqam art and experience the charm of Chinese ethnic minority culture and art.
After the performance, Umed Babakhanov (乌梅德·巴巴哈诺夫), founder and editor-in-chief of the Tajik media group "Asia-Plus," exclaimed, "Such a high-quality and wonderful performance is unforgettable. I very much look forward to these artists performing in Tajikistan."
Wang Chenjun (王陈军), Party Secretary of the Muqam Art Troupe (木卡姆艺术团) of the Xinjiang Art Theater (新疆艺术剧院), introduced that Xinjiang Uyghur Muqam art is a large-scale comprehensive art form integrating song, dance, and music, including Twelve Muqam (十二木卡姆), Dolan Muqam (刀郎木卡姆), Turpan Muqam (吐鲁番木卡姆), and Hami Muqam (哈密木卡姆). Due to its vast system and lengthy melodies, relying on master-apprentice transmission and oral instruction, it was difficult to memorize, and the art once nearly became extinct in the 1940s.
To increase protection and inheritance efforts, Xinjiang (新疆) successively established the Xinjiang Muqam Research Office (自治区木卡姆研究室) and the Xinjiang Muqam Art Troupe (新疆木卡姆艺术团). In 2005, "Chinese Xinjiang Uyghur Muqam Art" was selected into the UNESCO list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
To protect and inherit Muqam art well, first, there must be good works. "The ever-changing life provides rich and fresh material for our creation. Muqam art creation is rooted in life and rooted in the people. While doing a good job in protection and inheritance, we have also achieved living inheritance," said Wang Chenjun (王陈军).
"China has invested a lot in protecting Muqam art, and the level of protection is also very high," praised Zulpukar Sapanov (祖尔普卡阿尔·萨帕诺夫), director of the Political, Economic, and Social News Department of the Kyrgyz newspaper "Free Mountain."
In China, Muqam art is not only a treasure of Uyghur culture and art but also an important part of outstanding Chinese traditional culture. Today, Muqam art is increasingly appearing on stages around the world and is loved by people in countries such as Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia, becoming a bright calling card for displaying outstanding Chinese traditional culture and building a bridge for the world to exchange hearts through art and integrate through culture.
When leaving the theater, Abduvali Saibnazarov (阿卜杜瓦利·赛卜纳扎罗夫), editor-in-chief of Uzbekistan 24 TV, was still full of enthusiasm. He said, "Seeing how the Chinese people protect and inherit national traditional art, I am deeply inspired."

With all parties showing their strengths and working together, the project has achieved innovative breakthroughs in data base, algorithm analysis, and detection methods, and the multiple results released are at the forefront of the world.
Breast milk research cannot be separated from a solid data base. Relying on undertaking the "14th Five-Year Plan" national key research and development program, Feihe (飞鹤) has built a mother-child health cohort covering 6 representative regions, 11 provinces, and 22 cities, including 2008 mother-child cohorts and 5800 breast milk samples.
The project collects breast milk samples in stages and collects information such as mothers' dietary habits and other daily habits, and infant development, breaking through the limitations of previous cross-sectional studies and more effectively exploring the representative characteristics of Chinese breast milk and its significance for children's healthy development.
In breast milk ecological research, Feihe (飞鹤) uses systems biology methods for research. By building an independent breast milk intelligent computing engine, introducing cutting-edge AI algorithms for pattern recognition and feature extraction, it deeply studies the content and change rules of breast milk components, the interaction between breast milk components, and the interaction between components and the environment.
HMOs are unique components in breast milk with important functions, but for a long time, their detection and analysis has been a difficulty for the entire industry. Based on the "14th Five-Year Plan" national key research and development program, Feihe (飞鹤) has built the first domestic human milk oligosaccharide (HMOs) full-spectrum database, which has been identified by the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology (中国食品科学技术学会) as reaching the international leading level. This database not only realizes the accurate analysis of full-spectrum human milk oligosaccharides, providing technical guarantee for product research and development and production, but also provides a scientific basis for the quality testing of related products. The research results of the project are open and shared with the whole society, which helps to promote the high-quality development of the industry.
Adhere to Independent Research and Development
Help the High-Quality Development of the Industry
Feihe (飞鹤) now has the ability to verify technological breakthroughs with large-scale applications, and has accumulated rich industrialization results over the years, and has successively successfully realized the industrial production of 7 key raw materials such as lactoferrin and demineralized whey, and built the first domestic automated lactoferrin production line.
Supported by scientific and technological innovation, Feihe (飞鹤) relies on the accumulation of results from participating in major research and development projects to continuously realize the extension and layout breakthroughs of the industrial chain.
In January of this year, Feihe (飞鹤) released the "Milk Protein Fresh Extraction Technology" achievement, relying on leading protein deep processing technology to achieve the precise extraction and functional activation of various high-quality active milk protein raw materials, and realize the independent localization of milk protein raw material production. Feihe (飞鹤) is also using this to accelerate the layout of full-life-cycle customized nutrition products, and is committed to allowing functional nutrition products to accurately meet the health needs of Chinese people of all ages.
From technology introduction to independent research and development, from product going overseas to standard setting, Feihe (飞鹤) is accelerating its competition in the global dairy market. Feihe (飞鹤) continues to "build ships to go to sea" by building factories in Canada and laying out large foreign supermarkets, showing the world the full industrial chain competitive advantages of Chinese dairy brands.
Looking to the future, Feihe (飞鹤) will continue to break through technical barriers through independent research and development, strive to create a quality benchmark for Chinese dairy products, and demonstrate the intelligent manufacturing strength of Chinese dairy companies to the world with excellent practices in the entire industrial chain, and strive to be the first in the process of national brands going to the global market.

Weaving a Dense "Network"
The city has 32 provincial-level industrial internet platforms.
A small QR code, affixed to a machine tool more than 3 meters high, can increase the comprehensive utilization rate of the machine tool equipment by nearly 40%. "This code is an industrial internet identifier, equivalent to the equipment's 'ID card'." Chen Shi (陈石), general manager of Liaoning Shouneng Technology Development Co., Ltd. (辽宁数能科技发展有限公司), took out his mobile phone to scan the code, and information such as the equipment's parameters and operating data was clear at a glance.
Based on the industrial internet identification, Shouneng Technology (数能科技) has developed a predictive maintenance system for equipment, encoding 1,300 machine tools for a refrigeration equipment company in Shenyang (沈阳), managing the entire life cycle of the equipment, analyzing operating data, and prompting potential failures, allowing the equipment to perform more efficiently.
Shouneng Technology (数能科技) landed in Tiexi District (铁西区), Shenyang (沈阳) three years ago, and was soon approved to build and operate a national industrial internet identification analysis secondary node. Currently, it has connected 748 companies, and the identification analysis volume has exceeded 20.06 million times. "Shenyang (沈阳) has rich industrial internet application scenarios. Weaving this 'network' well can help many companies move from 'manufacturing' to 'intelligent manufacturing'," said Chen Shi (陈石).
In October 2019, the 2019 Global Industrial Internet Conference was held in Shenyang (沈阳). Since then, many companies and institutions have landed in Shenyang (沈阳), helping the old industrial base of Shenyang (沈阳) to weave a dense industrial internet.
"In Shenyang (沈阳), companies' understanding of industrial internet identification is constantly deepening, and applications are becoming more flexible," said a relevant person in charge of the Shenyang Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology (沈阳市工信局). At present, Shenyang (沈阳) has built 14 industrial internet identification analysis secondary nodes, covering research and development design, production and manufacturing, operation and management, and other links. The city's cumulative identification registration volume is 850 million, the cumulative identification analysis volume is 320 million times, and the cumulative number of connected enterprise nodes is 4,584.
More than 300 integrated cabinets and thousands of chassis are surrounded by electromagnetic interference-proof walls, operating day and night... This is the Tiexi District (铁西区) Big Data Center, also the location of the "Spark Chain Network" Super Node (Shenyang) (星火·链网”超级节点（沈阳）).
The "Spark Chain Network" (星火·链网) currently has super nodes online in more than 10 cities in China, and Shenyang (沈阳) is one of them. Sun Jie (孙洁), director of the Beijing (北京) Operations Center of the Industrial Internet Institute of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (中国信息通信研究院工物所北京运营中心), introduced that the "Spark Chain Network" Super Node (Shenyang) (星火·链网”超级节点（沈阳）) has connected 710 companies and has an identification registration volume of 131 million since it went online more than two years ago. Relying on this, the Shenyang Data Intelligence Service Center (沈阳数据智能服务中心) has been launched, providing more than 13 million product data for industrial digital transformation.
Ma Xian (马咸), dean of the Liaoning Branch of the China Industrial Internet Research Institute (中国工业互联网研究院辽宁分院), said that Shenyang (沈阳) has obvious advantages in industrial digitalization, and the city has 32 provincial-level industrial internet platforms. "We have joined hands with Liaoning Liaohe Laboratory (辽宁辽河实验室) to establish a manufacturing digital transformation innovation center to support Shenyang's (沈阳) manufacturing industry to continuously strengthen digital and green collaborative transformation."

Early in the morning, Ma Changhao (马长好), a Shengu Group (沈鼓集团) turner, wearing a safety helmet, walked quickly into the rotor workshop. Arriving at his workstation, he lightly touched the screen to query the Shengu Zhiding Industrial Internet Platform (沈鼓智鼎工业互联网平台) system to understand his tasks for the day.
"In the past, processing impellers was assigned by the team leader. Now, you can directly receive tasks from the system, and the specific requirements are clear at a glance, which greatly improves efficiency." Ma Changhao (马长好), who has been engaged in impeller precision machining for more than 20 years, gave a thumbs up to the current production efficiency.
"We independently designed the Shengu Zhiding Industrial Internet Platform (沈鼓智鼎工业互联网平台), which realizes all-round online management of people, machines, materials, methods, and environment. The labor productivity of all employees has increased by 12.9%, the processing efficiency of key components such as impellers has increased by 28.2%, and more than 1.9 million drawings are saved every year," said Hao Yuming (郝玉明), director of the Information and Data Center of Shengu Group (沈鼓集团).
A few kilometers away, in the welding and assembly workshop of Sany Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd. (三一重型装备有限公司) Shenyang (沈阳) Factory, dozens of robots shuttle back and forth, quickly and accurately delivering materials to the workstations. In the blanking workshop, from steel loading, cutting, sorting to forming, CNC cutting machines and other equipment realize fully automatic production, increasing production capacity by 105% and saving more than 10 million yuan per year.
"In addition to equipment, energy elements such as water, electricity, oil, and gas have also achieved intelligent management, and the energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of sales has been reduced by 42%," said Shi Pengfei (史鹏飞), director of digitalization of Sany Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) attaches great importance to the development strategy and planning work. During his work in local areas, he organized in-depth research on medium and long-term development strategies and formulated plans, forming a series of valuable intellectual wealth and rich practical achievements such as the 15-year development blueprint of Xiamen (厦门), the "3820" strategic project of Fuzhou (福州), and the "Double-Eight Strategy" of Zhejiang (浙江). Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the process of leading the development of the Party and the country, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has conducted in-depth thinking on strategic planning and made a series of important expositions, forming innovative achievements combining theory and practice, providing fundamental guidelines and action plans for doing a good job in strategic planning in the new era. The draft National Development Plan Law deliberated at the 15th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress is guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important expositions on development strategy and planning. It solidifies the strategic considerations, regulatory requirements, and effective experiences of the Party Central Committee on improving the national economic and social development planning system in legal form, which is of great and far-reaching significance.
A Systematic Summary of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) Important Expositions on Development Strategy and Planning
General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important expositions on development strategy and planning are profound and rich in content, clarifying the status and role of strategic planning, and proposing tasks, measures, strategies, methods, and implementation requirements. We must deeply study and comprehend them and earnestly implement them.
Using medium and long-term plans to guide economic and social development is an important way for our Party to govern the country. Our country has formulated and implemented 14 Five-Year Plans (Plans), which have powerfully promoted economic and social development, enhanced comprehensive national strength, and improved people's lives. Clarifying the strategic intentions of the Party and the country through national development plans can not only give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, but also better play the role of the government, which is conducive to guiding expectations, building consensus, and maintaining the continuity and stability of national strategy.
Strengthen the strategic guiding role of national development planning. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized the need to improve the macroeconomic governance system and give play to the strategic guiding role of national development planning. National development planning is an important basis for organizing and mobilizing all forces to achieve strategic goals, and it has macro-guidance and coordination for the formulation of various policies. Fiscal, monetary, industrial, and price policies should reasonably determine policy orientations based on planning objectives and development trends, and work together to implement national development plans.
Grasp the scientific methods of strategic planning and planning preparation. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) applied dialectical materialism and historical materialism, based on the practice of China's economic development in the new era, and proposed a series of scientific methods for strategic planning and planning preparation, such as adhering to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, adhering to problem orientation, and adhering to the concept of systems, etc., expanding the methods and paths for using Marxist political economics to guide practice and solve problems, and providing us with a methodology for doing a good job in strategic planning.
Focus on the implementation of strategic plans. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that without paying attention to implementation, without earnestly grasping implementation, even the best plans and deployments will be reduced to castles in the air. 真抓实干 (zhēn zhuā shí gàn - "genuinely grasp and solidly do," to work in a down-to-earth and pragmatic manner) has always been the fine tradition of the Communist Party of China and also the practical requirement for promoting strategic planning in the new era. We must put implementation in a more prominent position, formulate specific plans, clarify the division of responsibilities, prevent tasks from falling through, and improve the execution and implementation of plans.
The draft National Development Plan Law elevates mature experiences and practices formed in long-term practice to the level of legal system.
The draft National Development Plan Law systematically summarizes the rich practical experience accumulated in our country in the formulation and implementation of national development plans, and solidifies it in legal form, providing an important legal guarantee for strengthening the strategic guiding role of national development planning and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.
Adhere to the Party's leadership in the formulation and implementation of national development plans. Our country has explored and formed a system under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, in which the Party Central Committee proposes planning recommendations, the State Council (国务院) formulates planning outlines, and the National People's Congress (全国人大) reviews and approves them before they are promulgated and implemented. The draft National Development Plan Law emphasizes that national development plans are prepared in accordance with the Party Central Committee's proposals for formulating five-year plans for national economic and social development, and explicitly proposes that mid-term evaluation reports and summary evaluation reports on plan adjustments and implementation status must be reported to the Party Central Committee for approval, implementing the Party's leadership over national development planning work throughout the entire process and in all aspects.
Adhere to taking national development planning as the overall guidance to promote the construction of a unified planning system. Our country has gradually established a planning system led by national development planning. The draft National Development Plan Law further emphasizes promoting the construction of a unified planning system, which not only clarifies that national development planning is the general guideline for all levels and types of planning, but also leaves room for the formulation and implementation of other plans, which helps to improve the overall effectiveness of the planning system and form planning synergy.
Adhere to promoting democracy, seeking advice openly, and pooling wisdom. Our Party adheres to the mass line in planning work, emphasizing "from the masses, to the masses." The draft National Development Plan Law emphasizes improving the public participation mechanism and the expert consultation and argumentation system, and widely listening to the opinions of the people and all sectors of society, which helps to improve the level of democratization of planning preparation and maximize the consensus of the entire society.
Adhere to the coordinated linkage between national development planning and macroeconomic policies. Our country promotes unifying the direction of various macroeconomic policy tools to the requirements of planning deployment, forming an effective means of implementing macroeconomic governance under the conditions of a socialist market economy. The draft National Development Plan Law makes specific provisions on measures to serve and guarantee the implementation of national development plans, emphasizing improving the coordination and work synergy mechanism between national development planning and macroeconomic policies, which helps to enhance the consistency of macroeconomic policy orientations and achieve effective support and collaborative guarantee for the implementation of various policies for national development plans.
Adhere to and improve the effective implementation mechanism of national development planning. Our country has continuously improved the planning implementation supervision and assessment mechanism, which has powerfully guaranteed the implementation and effectiveness of the plan. The draft National Development Plan Law makes specific provisions on the dynamic monitoring, evaluation, and supervision mechanism of planning implementation, which helps to strengthen the full-cycle management of the implementation of national development planning, maintain the authority and seriousness of the plan, and consolidate and enhance the effectiveness of plan implementation.

"Last winter wasn't very cold, so the survival rate of the newly planted Huyou trees was quite high." In Changshan County (常山县), Quzhou City (衢州市), Zhejiang Province (浙江省), Huyou grower Qiu Yongjun (邱拥军) goes to the Huyou base every day to take a look. Watching the thriving Huyou trees, he began to think about expanding the Huyou planting area.
However, the funding problem made him worried: the cost of regulating the land would increase, and he would have to order seedlings and fertilizers, and he couldn't come up with so much money all at once. So, Qiu Yongjun made a phone call to Zheng Hongjun (郑红军), a customer manager at the Changshan County (常山县) branch of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行). The next day, Zheng Hongjun (郑红军) came to the door to conduct an on-site investigation and quickly processed a 200,000 yuan "Huyou Loan" for Qiu Yongjun (邱拥军).
"Huyou trees have a long growth time. It generally takes 6-8 years from seedlings to bearing high-quality fruit and then to selling them, so grapefruit farmers have relatively large funding needs." With years of credit experience, Zheng Hongjun (郑红军) has become an "old hand" in Huyou planting.
The Changshan County (常山县) branch of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) actively supports the development of the entire Huyou industry chain with credit funds, including planting, processing, and sales. As of now, it has issued loans of more than 180 million yuan to various business entities in the Huyou industry chain.
Supporting the development of the Huyou industry in Changshan County (常山县) is just a microcosm of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) Zhejiang Branch (浙江省分行)'s efforts to help mountainous counties develop. In the southern mountainous area of Zhejiang (浙江) - Taishun County (泰顺县), Wenzhou City (温州市), financial resources are also being "precisely irrigated" into the local characteristic tea industry.
In Shangpai Village (上排村), Shiyang Town (仕阳镇), Taishun County (泰顺县), Xie Xihe (谢细和), the head of Zhejiang Tailong Tea Co., Ltd. (浙江泰龙制茶有限公司), looked at the new machines on the green tea preliminary refining and clean production line, and said with a smile that with the support of the Agricultural Bank of China's (中国农业银行) "Shun Tea Loan," he has even greater hopes this year.
"Shun Tea Loan" is a product launched by the Wenzhou Taishun County (温州泰顺县) branch of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) for the local tea industry. At the beginning of this year, Gong Jinhan (龚晋翰), a local Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) customer manager, learned that Xie Xihe (谢细和) wanted to upgrade and optimize his equipment during the "Thousands of Enterprises and Households Visit" campaign, but he hesitated because of funding problems. Gong Jinhan (龚晋翰) visited him many times to communicate, introduce products and policies, provided 9.8 million yuan in funding support, and offered corresponding interest rate concessions. As of now, the Taishun County (泰顺县) branch of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) has issued loans of more than 170 million yuan to more than 1,200 tea business entities in the area, fully supporting the high-quality development of the tea industry.
On the road of exploring financial assistance for common prosperity, the Zhejiang Branch (浙江省分行) of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) actively innovates products and services to help the economic development of mountainous and island counties. At present, "common prosperity vitality" is pouring into the mountains and heading to the ocean.
Mussels are a specialty product of Gouqi Island (枸杞岛) in Shengsi County (嵊泗县), Zhoushan City (舟山市). During the visit, the staff of the Shengsi County (嵊泗县) branch of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) learned that farmer Hu Bin (胡斌) was unable to purchase a sufficient amount of mussel seedlings due to tight funds, and at the same time, he was unable to obtain loans through traditional credit models due to a lack of effective collateral.
In light of Hu Bin's (胡斌) actual situation, the Shengsi County (嵊泗县) branch of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) processed a "Marine Fishery Live Body Mortgage Loan - Mussel Loan" for him, with a quota of 950,000 yuan. The product uses the farmed mussels and attached farming facilities, water area management rights, and sea area use rights as collateral, effectively solving the dilemma that farmers lack mortgage guarantees and cannot obtain loans. As of now, the Zhoushan Branch (舟山分行) of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) has issued more than 9 million yuan in "Marine Fishery Live Body Mortgage Loans - Mussel Loans."
2025 is a crucial year for building a demonstration zone for high-quality development and common prosperity. The Zhejiang Branch (浙江省分行) of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行) takes serving the "Thousands of Villages Demonstration, Ten Thousand Villages Renovation" project as a starting point, actively creates a characteristic agricultural support brand of "agriculture + farmers," vigorously promotes online inclusive loans such as "Huinong e-Loan," and continues to increase support for major grain growers, cooperatives, agricultural innovators, leading enterprises, and other entities, and makes overall plans to do a good job in the "three articles" of strengthening cities, revitalizing villages, and integration.

Core Reading
The assessment plays the role of a "baton" and "weathervane." Unreasonable assessment systems may induce formalism in actual implementation and be transformed into a tool for heavily pressuring the grassroots.
Focusing on the grassroots level should not mean heavily pressuring the grassroots. How to simplify complexity and assess accurately and realistically? Changfeng County (长丰县) in Hefei City (合肥市), Anhui Province (安徽省), based on the development positioning of each township, reformed the assessment methods, carried out differentiated assessments, and allowed grassroots cadres to have more time and energy to tackle key tasks.
In the wheat fields, the wheat waves roll, and the machines roar. In Zhuangmu Town (庄墓镇), Changfeng County (长丰县), Hefei City (合肥市), Anhui Province (安徽省), 19,000 mu of winter wheat have successively entered the mature stage. Wu Jin (吴瑾), member of the Party Committee and Organization Committee of Zhuangmu Town (庄墓镇), was concerned about the wheat harvesting situation in Zhuangmu Community (庄墓社区), Zhuangmu Town (庄墓镇), and rushed to the community's comprehensive agricultural service center early in the morning.
Zhuangmu Community (庄墓社区) is a rural community that once lagged behind in the development of the collective economy. In May of last year, with the help of Wu Jin (吴瑾), the community's comprehensive agricultural service center officially began operations.
Helping villages and communities develop the collective economy has been Wu Jin's (吴瑾) normal work in the past two years. "This was hard to imagine before, for a simple reason—too many assessments, no time," Wu Jin (吴瑾) said.
Where did the time go? From the perspective of assessment frequency, in the past, Changfeng County (长丰县) implemented a monthly work performance display and quarterly ranking notification assessment method for each township. The high-frequency assessment once made it difficult for Wu Jin (吴瑾) to concentrate on her job: "A lot of time was spent preparing assessment materials, and cadres were chased by assessments."
Where did the energy go? From the perspective of assessment methods, Changfeng County (长丰县) once implemented the same set of assessment standards for all townships, which no longer conformed to the county's development reality. "The actual situation, resource endowment, and development positioning of each township are different. If the same set of standards is still used to assess all townships in the county, and a simple 一刀切 (yī dāo qiē - "one knife cut," applying a single standard to all situations) is carried out, grassroots cadres will not be able to grasp the key points of their work," said Zhang Shujun (张书军), director of the Performance Evaluation Center of Changfeng County (长丰县).
Changfeng County (长丰县) is long and narrow from north to south, with a longitudinal distance of more than 70 kilometers. The southern townships are close to Hefei City (合肥市) and are the county's industrial development center, while the northern townships are mainly agricultural.
"Before, all the cadres in the town had to run for investment promotion," said Yang Fan (杨帆), a cadre in Zhuangmu Town (庄墓镇) in charge of investment promotion, who still has vivid memories of the "investment promotion fever." "Our investment promotion results are difficult to exceed those of the southern townships with superior conditions. Sometimes we ran to hundreds of merchants, and there may be only one or two who are interested, and in the end, it may be due to land indicators, regional location, and other situations that it ends up being unresolved. The work is not easy, and it is often frustrating when it is not done well," Yang Fan (杨帆) said.
Industrial towns also have assessment troubles. "In the past, everyone used the same yardstick, and we also had to deal with agricultural assessment indicators, which inevitably distracted us," said Song Jiasheng (宋家胜), chairman of the People's Congress of Xiatang Town (下塘镇). Taking the department of Lin Kaixin (林开新), director of the Economic Development Bureau of Xiatang Town (下塘镇), as an example, under the same set of assessment standards, agriculture in the town is a weak item, and the department has to "use its brains" to cope with agricultural assessment indicators. "The industrial output value of Xiatang Town (下塘镇) above designated size exceeded 100 billion yuan last year, accounting for more than half of the entire Changfeng County (长丰县). Industry should be the focus of our work," Lin Kaixin (林开新) said.
The assessment, which was originally intended to grasp the grassroots work, added some unnecessary pressure to the grassroots cadres in the specific implementation. This kind of focusing on the grassroots level has instead become a heavy pressure on the grassroots.
With timely adjustments, Changfeng County (长丰县) began to implement a one-time year-end assessment and evaluation last year, canceling monthly and quarterly assessments. "We require whoever assesses, whoever produces the data. For the assessment indicators, the data materials should be mastered by the corresponding assessment department, and in principle, townships should not be required to provide them. At the same time, we should make full use of information technology and use the online assessment supervision and management system to score points, and try to reduce on-site assessments," Zhang Shujun (张书军) said.
With decisive changes, the reduction in the "quantity" of assessments has relieved the pressure on the grassroots, but to better play the role of the "baton," it is also necessary to seek changes in "quality." Changfeng County (长丰县) classified the eight northern townships dominated by agriculture into a coordinated development group, increased the weight of rural living environment improvement and comprehensive rural revitalization indicators, and reduced or eliminated industrial development, technological innovation, investment promotion, project construction, and other indicators; the seven southern townships and development zones focused on industry were classified into one zone and six parks group, increasing the weight of industrial system construction indicators and reducing the weight of agricultural and other indicators.
The assessment indicators have also been optimized. In the past assessments, the rural collective economic income had to reach a certain scale, otherwise points would be deducted. Under such assessments, townships could only allow villages or communities with weak collective economic foundations to choose a relatively simple path—to earn extra points by contracting a large amount of land. Now, Changfeng County (长丰县) has optimized indicators such as rural collective economic income. "We adjust the assessment indicators according to the key tasks of each year, and compress and reduce the assessment indicators. The high-quality development assessment indicators were streamlined from 97 items to 63 items last year," Zhang Shujun (张书军) introduced.
The change in assessment has brought about a change in the state of cadres.
Zhuangmu Town (庄墓镇) no longer compares with the southern townships, but competes with the other seven northern townships with similar resource endowments. Wu Jin (吴瑾) admitted: "Everyone is competing fairly on the same starting line, and our enthusiasm for starting a business has been raised all at once." "This year, we have received orders for more than 3,000 mu of wheat harvesting, which can bring a lot of income to the village collective," Xie Yonggui (谢永贵), secretary of the Party General Branch of Zhuangmu Community (庄墓社区), added from the side.
The southern townships of Changfeng County (长丰县) also benefited. Now Xiatang Town (下塘镇) competes with other southern townships on projects, and Lin Kaixin (林开新) clearly feels that the focus of work is more prominent: "The department's responsibility is to attract investment and serve enterprises. Now we spend 4 days a week running to enterprises, and all our energy is focused on solving problems for enterprises." Lin Kaixin (林开新) serves hundreds of enterprises, and he does his best to provide help. "Sometimes there are phone calls asking about policies at eight or nine o'clock in the evening." The work is busy, but Lin Kaixin (林开新) enjoys it.
"Let the assessment no longer become a burden, but truly become a supervision and incentive," Zhang Shujun (张书军) said, "Grassroots cadres are freed from frequent and unrealistic assessments, and have more energy to go to park enterprises and fields to listen to public opinion and discuss development together, providing a solid guarantee for economic and social development."

Scientific and reasonable assessment is an important measure to clarify the direction of work, promote the implementation of tasks, and encourage responsibility. However, some regions have transformed assessment into a tool for "**大压基层**" (dà yā jīcéng - "greatly pressure the grassroots," excessively burdening and pressuring those at the grassroots level), which seriously affects the effectiveness of grassroots work.
To break the malpractice of formalism through assessment reform and reduce the heavy burden on the grassroots, sustained effort is required. It is necessary to conduct in-depth research at the grassroots level, combine the characteristics of different regions and different positions, and formulate differentiated assessment indicators. It is necessary to integrate repetitive assessment items, coordinate and optimize the frequency of assessments, so that grassroots cadres can be freed from frequent exam preparations and inspections. It is necessary to establish a scientific mechanism for error tolerance and correction, eliminate the ideological concerns of grassroots cadres who "**怕出错不敢干**" (pà chū cuò bù gǎn gàn - "fear making mistakes and dare not work," afraid of making mistakes and thus不敢干), and encourage them to better unleash their potential and start their own businesses.
All regions should further coordinate and standardize supervision, inspection, and assessment, and effectively reduce the total amount and frequency of supervision, inspection, and assessment oriented to the grassroots, so that grassroots cadres can get rid of the shackles of cumbersome assessments and go to the front line with a light load.

For some time now, incidents of minors spending large sums of money on rewards on online platforms have occurred frequently, attracting attention. Currently, although most online platforms have taken technical measures to limit minors' consumption, in practice, some measures are merely 流于形式 (liú yú xíng shì - "become a mere formality," to exist in name only), failing to effectively prevent minors' irrational consumption behavior.
When parents encounter large rewards given by their children, can they recover the full amount? The Beijing Fourth Intermediate People's Court (北京市第四中级人民法院) concluded a network service contract dispute triggered by a 17-year-old girl giving large rewards on a live streaming platform.
"Xiao Liu (小刘), a 17-year-old, is a registered user of an entertainment-based online live streaming platform, and her account is linked to her father's bank card for payment," introduced Judge Han Jixian (韩继先), who handled the case. Over the course of a year, Xiao Liu (小刘) accumulated over 450,000 yuan in recharges, which she used to reward streamers on the platform.
Initially, after discovering Xiao Liu's (小刘) abnormal consumption, the platform took consumption restriction measures on her account, stopping the account's recharge and reward permissions. Subsequently, Xiao Liu (小刘) impersonated her guardian and communicated with the platform's customer service by phone. The platform lifted all restrictions based on the phone confirmation, leading to subsequent large recharges and consumption.
"The child did not obtain the guardian's consent when spending, and the act of recharging and rewarding large amounts is invalid." After discovering the abnormal consumption records, Xiao Liu's (小刘) father, as Xiao Liu's (小刘) legal representative, filed a lawsuit with the court, requesting the platform to return the recharged reward funds.
"Xiao Liu (小刘), as a person with limited capacity for civil conduct, her large recharges and reward behavior were not agreed to by her guardian in advance, and the guardian explicitly refused to ratify it afterward, so the transaction is invalid," said Judge Assistant Wang Yuanzhe (王远哲).
Since the transaction is invalid, does this mean that the platform must return the full amount? The Civil Code clarifies the principle of responsibility allocation after the invalidity of civil legal acts: the actor should return the property, and if it cannot be returned, it should be compensated at a discounted price; the faults of all parties should bear the losses proportionally.
Han Jixian (韩继先) said that in this case, although the platform effectively identified Xiao Liu's (小刘) abnormal consumption behavior and took certain restrictive measures, it only relied on telephone communication confirmation when lifting the restrictions, and did not adopt more rigorous and effective review methods, resulting in minors being able to easily circumvent the platform's restrictive measures, and the platform subsequently lacked continuous tracking and supervision of the relevant accounts, allowing the long-term, continuous large consumption behavior of minors' accounts to occur. According to the Law on the Protection of Minors, the Regulations on the Online Protection of Minors, and other regulations, the platform failed to fulfill its reasonable review obligations and was at fault to a certain extent, so it should bear responsibility.
In addition, Xiao Liu (小刘) was addicted to online rewards and even impersonated her guardian to communicate with the platform's customer service to lift consumption restrictions, which was a certain fault; Xiao Liu's (小刘) parents, as guardians, mismanaged her property and failed to effectively supervise her consumption behavior, which was also a certain responsibility. Considering the degree of fault of all parties, the court finally ruled that the platform should return 240,000 yuan to Xiao Liu (小刘).

On May 20th, the Tianhe District Branch of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau (广州市公安局) issued a "Police Report" stating that a technology company in Guangzhou (广州) was subjected to a cyberattack by a foreign hacker organization. The public security organs immediately launched an investigation, extracted relevant attack program samples, comprehensively secured relevant evidence, and organized a professional technical team to conduct technical tracing.
Recently, a reporter learned from the Tianhe District Branch of the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau (广州市公安局) that the public security organs attached great importance to this cyberattack incident by a foreign hacker organization and immediately organized a technical team to conduct technical analysis and source tracing of the extracted attack programs and system logs. Preliminary investigations revealed that the cyberattack suffered by the company was carried out by a hacker organization fostered by the Democratic Progressive Party (民进党) authorities in Taiwan, China.
According to police investigations, this Taiwanese hacker organization has frequently used public network asset detection platforms in recent years to conduct large-scale network asset exploration targeting over 1,000 important network systems (involving military industry, energy, hydropower, transportation, government, etc.) in more than 10 provinces of mainland China, collecting basic information and technical intelligence of relevant systems, and implementing multiple rounds of cyberattacks through low-end cyberattack methods such as sending phishing emails on a large scale, exploiting public vulnerabilities, brute-force password cracking, and self-made simple Trojan horse programs. In particular, since last year, the scale and frequency of attacks by this Taiwanese hacker organization against targets within our territory have increased significantly, with obvious intentions of harassment and sabotage, and extremely sinister intentions.
Technical experts said that the overall technical level of this Taiwanese hacker organization is relatively low, the attack methods are simple and crude, the attack range is wide, and it has been detected and discovered by our network protection system many times. The programming level of its self-made network Trojan horse program is low, leaving many criminal clues that can be traced back, which facilitates the police to ascertain the facts of the crime, identify criminal suspects and their online locations. Technical analysis shows that although it frequently uses network assets such as VPN proxies, overseas cloud hosts, and zombie machines, and implements cyberattacks through a large number of IP addresses from countries such as the United States, France, South Korea, Japan, the Netherlands, Israel, and Poland, intending to conceal its true attack source, it is not difficult to ascertain the entire process of the hacker organization's cyberattack crime and its true intentions through network reconnaissance and investigation.

In Dongshan County (东山县), Zhangzhou City (漳州市), Fujian Province (福建省), along the Jinluan Bay (金銮湾), casuarina trees stretch for hundreds of miles, and the sea breeze blows, creating green waves.
"Listen carefully to the stories, and share the most impressive one afterward!" Wu Aihui (吴爱慧), deputy secretary of the Party branch of Wenchang Primary School (文昌小学) in Dongshan County (东山县), led 40 fourth-grade students to the Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) Anti-Corruption Theme Hall. Here, the children will attend a moral education class with the theme "Learn to be like casuarina trees and strive to be young guardians of integrity."
"Students, please look, what is in Grandpa Gu Wenchang's (谷文昌) bowl?" Entering the theme hall, the guide led the children to observe a sculpture of Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) sitting at a table eating.
"Sweet potato!" the children said in unison.
"There is a story behind this sweet potato in the bowl." The guide explained that in 1959, due to economic difficulties and food shortages, canteens in Dongshan County (东山县) could only survive on a small amount of sweet potato shreds in soup. One day, Gu Wenchang (谷文昌), then the Secretary of the Dongshan County (东山县) Party Committee, came to Zhangtang Town (樟塘镇) (then Zhangtang Commune (樟塘公社)). During lunch, the cook specially scooped a bowl of thick sweet potato shred soup for Gu Wenchang (谷文昌). Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) looked at the thin soup in everyone's bowls and poured his soup into the large pot without saying a word. He said, "How can I be special?" After speaking, he scooped the same thin soup as everyone else and ate it. "As cadres, only by sharing weal and woe with the masses can we avoid being detached from the masses and avoid damaging the image of the Party. Anything that damages the Party's image, no matter how small, cannot be done," Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) said.
"Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) left us with valuable spiritual wealth. His public servant feelings of serving the people wholeheartedly and his family style of integrity are worth learning." Zhang Yisheng (张艺生), deputy director of the Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) Anti-Corruption Culture Education Center, introduced that the Dongshan County (东山县) Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervision Commission have sorted out 40 easy-to-understand small stories of integrity from Gu Wenchang's (谷文昌) many touching deeds, presented in the theme hall with simple drawings and text descriptions, and accompanied by character sculptures, oil paintings, physical objects, pocket books, and audio, making the culture of integrity easy to spread.
Walking, talking, and looking along the way. How should the culture of integrity be taught to students so that they can understand it better? "The curriculum design should conform to the cognitive characteristics of primary school students, let them listen with questions, enhance interactive experience, and encourage children to express and feedback on learning outcomes," Wu Aihui (吴爱慧) said.
A coat in the window was the first and last new piece of clothing Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) bought for his wife; a rusty bicycle was the "special car" assigned to Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) by the county, and he strictly forbade his children from riding public cars privately... One touching little story after another quietly entered the children's hearts.
"What is the most impressive story for everyone?" After leaving the theme hall, Wu Aihui (吴爱慧) organized the children to discuss.
"Eating from the same pot," "Buying the last new clothes for his wife," "Inviting the Provincial Party Secretary to eat sweet potatoes"... the children answered enthusiastically.
"Very good! Everyone can work in groups and use your creativity to show the gains from this study." Wu Aihui (吴爱慧) put forward a new task.
The students took action, some creating skits of small stories of integrity; some took out drawing boards and drew the image of Grandpa Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) in their hearts; and some composed and sang nursery rhymes, incorporating stories of integrity into them... Groups of talent shows took turns, and the impression of learning was further deepened.
"You are all great, the teacher has gifts to reward everyone." At the end of the group display, Wu Aihui (吴爱慧) took out a bag of sweet potatoes and distributed them to each child. "Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) did not engage in special treatment, and ate sweet potatoes, slept on the floor, and worked in thatched huts with everyone. We must also be like him and be clean and upright people." Wu Aihui (吴爱慧) said, "After going back today, share the sweet potatoes you received with your parents and tell them the story of the sweet potatoes."
Outside the exhibition hall, the first batch of casuarina trees planted by Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) leading the people of Dongshan County (东山县) are already more than ten meters high. "This is what Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) planted with everyone back then. You can come and touch the bark and hug the trunk." Under the guidance of Wu Aihui (吴爱慧), the children gathered around the tree and observed curiously.
"New buds have grown on it!" a student said in surprise.
"Casuarina, grows in the sand, public cars, not for private use, Grandpa Gu (谷爷爷), sweet potatoes fragrant, wash your hands clean and your heart bright, heart bright!" At the end of the course, accompanied by the sound of the waves, Wu Aihui (吴爱慧) and the children sang a self-composed nursery rhyme.

"Integrity," at first glance, seems somewhat distant from teenagers, but upon further reflection, it is actually a compulsory course for growth.
The ancients said, "Not accepting is integrity, not being sullied is purity." Doing things conscientiously and being upright and honest should be a traditional Chinese virtue that is ingrained in teenagers from an early age.
To instill a culture of integrity, work must be meticulous: refining the content supply and honing teaching methods.
The story of sweet potato soup provides us with many insights. The ideological and political course on integrity culture for teenagers should emphasize the power of role models and peer education. By telling stories of individuals with integrity, designing interactive activities, and adding content such as discussions, visits, and role-playing, we can guide teenagers to intuitively feel the meaning of "integrity."
Creating campus integrity culture positions such as cultural walls and educational corridors, performing textbook dramas and themed script games around hot topics, and carrying out integrity culture challenge competitions... Nowadays, many schools are conducting vivid explorations to advance integrity culture education step by step.
At the same time, we must also make good use of the big classroom of life. From the timely return of a book and the honest claiming of lost and found items, to the institutionalized norms of honest exams and fair elections of class committees... Actions speak louder than words, and transforming integrity culture into daily practices that are knowable, sensible, participatory, and communicable often yields twice the result with half the effort. Avoid **大水漫灌** (dà shuǐ màn guàn - "great water overflows," a method of irrigation that floods the field; to do things in a crude, sweeping manner) and avoid rote application. In a subtle and silent way, guide teenagers to start with small things around them, form good living habits, and correct value judgments and behavioral choices, and the culture of integrity can be quietly implanted in their hearts, taking root and blossoming.

On May 27th, the Key Laboratory of Scientific Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Protection of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (中国社会科学院) released seven major achievements, including several new discoveries that "change perceptions"—

China not only has native grapes, but also a long history of utilization.
When it comes to grapes, people generally think of them as a fruit introduced to China from the West. The grapes we currently eat or use for winemaking are indeed foreign Eurasian grapes.
In fact, China not only has native grapes, but also a long history of utilization. There are more than 60 species of *Vitis* plants, and about 38 species exist in China, making it one of the three centers of concentrated distribution of wild grapes in the world. How did the ancients use native grapes, and did they cultivate them artificially? What are the differences in shape and taste between them and Eurasian grapes, and were they completely replaced after the introduction of Eurasian grapes? Zhong Hua (钟华), head of the Plant Archaeology Laboratory, is leading a team to try to answer these questions.
As the main native drupe plant, *Vitis* remains have been found in archaeological sites in different regions of China, appearing from the agricultural origin period about 10,000 years ago to various historical periods after the Han Dynasty (汉代). The earliest evidence of Eurasian grapes in China was found in the Yanghai Cemetery (洋海墓地) in Turpan (吐鲁番), Xinjiang (新疆), dating back more than 2,000 years. Ancient literature also shows that Eurasian grapes were brought into the mainland during the Western Han Dynasty (西汉时期).
For a long time, the academic community has mostly regarded *Vitis* as a wild collected plant resource. Is this really the case? Zhong Hua's team selected three key time periods: the early and middle Neolithic Age, the late Neolithic Age to the early Bronze Age, and the Tang (唐) and Song (宋) Dynasties (Liao (辽) and Jin (金) Dynasties), and conducted a systematic study of the *Vitis* remains unearthed in domestic archaeology.
"No obvious differences were found in the shape and size of grape seeds in the three periods, but their distribution patterns can reflect the different ways in which the ancestors used resources to a certain extent," Zhong Hua introduced. The concentrated excavation of *Vitis* remains in key areas such as the Central Plains (中原地区) and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (长江下游) from the late Neolithic Age to the early Bronze Age shows that the ancestors may have begun to artificially cultivate *Vitis* plants, which is directly related to the high development of agriculture at that time, the increasing differentiation of social classes, and the frequent exchanges between sites and regions.
Native *Vitis* seeds have been found in a series of Liao and Jin Dynasty city sites, proving that the utilization of native grapes continued at least until the Tang and Song (Liao and Jin) Dynasties. "The ash pit of native grapes unearthed from the Jin Dynasty (金代) of the Liao Shangjing (辽上京) is located in an ordinary residential area, and a bunch of dried Eurasian grapes was unearthed from the Liao Tomb in Xuanhua (宣化), Hebei (河北), indicating that it was once a daily food for the Liao nobles," Zhong Hua said. It can be seen that after the introduction of Western grapes, they did not completely replace native grapes, and the two coexisted for a long time.
Technological restoration of rare pottery Tang Dynasty dragon head, the dragon head image is unprecedented.
In October 2024, two rare pottery Tang Dynasty dragon heads were excavated during the archaeology of the Guzhoucheng Site (古州城遗址) in Xiong County (雄县), Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区), Hebei. The dragon heads were found in a brick and tile pit next to a high-level Tang Dynasty temple building site. They should be pendant beasts or ridge beasts in the roof building components, and are called Dragon Head No. 9 and Dragon Head No. 10 respectively. There are only a handful of existing Tang Dynasty buildings in China, and their architectural decorations have mostly been replaced by renovations in different periods. There are very few Tang Dynasty pottery dragon heads in existence. Currently, only Heilongjiang (黑龙江), Shandong (山东), Henan (河南) and other places have sporadic unearthed examples, and they are not very complete.
The salt analysis of the unearthed dragon heads this time is serious, and Dragon Head No. 10 was broken into hundreds of pieces. Liu Yong (刘勇), head of the laboratory archaeological cabin, led the team to carry out protection, restoration and research work on this. Ultrasonic cleaning, pure water desalination, drying, curved surface fluorescence analysis of painted components... The team used scientific methods to give the dragon head a comprehensive "physical examination" and "treatment", restoring the original appearance of the dragon head, and also revealed its production process: the clay body's mixture contains straw and broken pottery pieces, and the firing temperature is about 686 degrees Celsius; a large area of lead-containing white pigment is used to paint the surface of the dragon head, and manganese-containing purple-black pigment is used to paint the eyeballs, and copper-containing green minerals are used to paint the eyeliner, which is very exquisite. Potters' fingerprints were also found on the teeth of Dragon Head No. 10.
"Dragon Head No. 9 should be a pendant beast, and Dragon Head No. 10 should be a ridge beast. Through restoration, it was found that the width of the vertical ridge of the building where they are located is 45 cm, and the width of the inclined ridge is 30 cm, which can be imagined to be very magnificent," Liu Yong said. The dragon head is majestic and dignified, and the restored dragon head image is unprecedented, providing new archaeological evidence for the evolution of the dragon culture image, and is an important carrier and empirical evidence of the millennium cultural context of Xiong'an New Area.
It is understood that the Key Laboratory of Scientific Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Protection of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has 18 sub-laboratories and 5 joint laboratories, covering fields such as carbon-14 dating, ancient DNA, isotope analysis, and cultural relic protection and restoration. It is currently the most extensive and comprehensive institution in the field of scientific archaeology in China.
Return to TopCurrently, the global economic landscape is undergoing profound changes, and global industrial and supply chains are accelerating their restructuring. Sichuan Shuijingfang Company Limited (四川水井坊控股有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "Shuijingfang (水井坊)") is based on the new development stage, actively integrating into China's high-level opening-up strategy, pioneering an innovative model of foreign capital participating in the transformation and upgrading of China's traditional industries, vividly interpreting the practical path of win-win cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises in the new era, and contributing to the stability and smooth flow of global industrial and supply chains.
Shuijingfang (水井坊) deeply participates in the transformation and upgrading of the liquor industry. From in-depth cooperation with international brands to building an industrial system that empowers local producing areas, Shuijingfang (水井坊) vividly interprets the enterprise's role and responsibility through its own transformation and development.

This marks Shuijingfang's (水井坊) leap in technological and standardization levels, and also provides useful reference for the liquor industry to explore a high-quality development path.
While promoting the high-quality development of the brand, Shuijingfang (水井坊) actively practices the concept of green, low-carbon, and sustainable development, and is one of the first liquor companies in the industry to systematically formulate and release sustainable development goals. In Shuijingfang's (水井坊) Qionglai (邛崃) entire industrial chain base, green technologies such as photovoltaic power generation and waste water recycling are widely used, effectively reducing carbon emissions. In terms of industrial chain management, Shuijingfang (水井坊) advocates green procurement and requires partners to pass environmental protection certifications to jointly promote the green transformation of the supply chain. Focusing on the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, Shuijingfang (水井坊) continues to promote industrial assistance, cultural revitalization, and wine-tourism integration, exploring the organic unity of enterprise development and social value, and demonstrating the vivid practice of foreign-funded enterprises actively participating in China's high-quality development. In 2024, Shuijingfang (水井坊) was upgraded to BBB level in the MSCI ESG rating.
As the controlling shareholder of Shuijingfang (水井坊), British liquor company Diageo (帝亚吉欧) has unswervingly rooted itself in the Chinese market for many years, seizing development opportunities. As an important category in China's liquor market, liquor has a profound cultural heritage, unique flavor and exquisite craftsmanship. In the future, Shuijingfang (水井坊) will continue to deeply cultivate the Chinese liquor market and write a new chapter in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the liquor industry with its own high-quality brand development.

Just after Little Fullness, the thousand-acre tea garden in Guangfo Town, Pingli County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, ushered in the summer and autumn tea picking season. Tea pickers' fingers fluttered between the tea buds, and the fixation machine roared in the processing plant. On the mountainside, the research and study trail is being renovated. Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) squatted aside, grabbed a handful of newly turned soil, twisted it, and checked the humidity.
After leaving the university campus, Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) had started a business in Xi'an (西安) for a period of time. After earning the "first pot of gold," she began to think: Ankang (安康), her hometown, has sufficient advantages in the development of selenium-rich industries, so why not return to her hometown and start a business with agricultural and special products that she is familiar with? In 2007, Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) returned to Guangfo Town (广佛镇) to develop edible fungi, vegetables, tea and other industries.
In the past 20 years, she has driven more than 400 people to find employment, trained more than 1,500 people in entrepreneurship, and provided vocational training to more than 6,000 people. Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) has been successively awarded the titles of "National Outstanding Migrant Worker," "Shaanxi Provincial Model Worker," and "Shaanxi Provincial March 8th Red Banner Bearer." On the hot land of her hometown, she made her dreams come true, warming herself and illuminating others.
Founding a company to help villagers earn money at their doorstep.
The first ray of sunlight拂过 (fú guò - "stroke over," gently touches) the buildings at the foot of the mountain. Wang Guilin (汪桂林) gently closed the courtyard door and happened to meet her husband oiling the tricycle chain.
"Today, we are going to send three trucks of goods to Hanzhong (汉中) merchants. Have you checked the machines on your side?" she asked while buttoning her work clothes.
"I debugged it last night," her husband said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The couple has worked at Pingli County Xiangyuan Agricultural Products Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. (平利县乡源农产品工贸有限公司) for more than 10 years. When the company was first established in 2008, Wang Guilin (汪桂林) was still a housewife revolving around the stove. One day, she wandered around the factory gate with a job advertisement in her hand and happened to meet Wan Qinqi (万琴棋), who was passing by in a hurry.
"Are you here to apply, sister? We are in need of quick and nimble people!" Wan Qinqi's (万琴棋) words made her one of the first workers in the company to clean the fungus sticks.
"At that time, my hands were soaked until they turned white, and I felt nauseous when I smelled the mushrooms at home," Wang Guilin (汪桂林) recalled while wiping the operating table. "But General Manager Wan (万总) often said, 'The golden nuggets of us mountain people are in this black fungus.' She taught us how to sort grades by hand. Once, I mistakenly packed second-class products into gift boxes, and she led us to rework overnight until dawn." Years later, this farmer became the head of the logistics department and is now staring at the installation of the newly arrived packaging machine.
"General Manager Wan (万总)" in Wang Guilin's (汪桂林) mouth is Wan Qinqi (万琴棋). Today, Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) still remembers the scene when she signed the first order.
The merchant pinched the gift box and pondered: "The black fungus on the market only sells for half the price. Why is yours so expensive?"
Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) opened the sealed jar and said, "This is our alpine Duanwood black fungus, and each one has a woody fragrance." In the end, the excellent quality won the recognition of consumers.
Under the management of Wan Qinqi (万琴棋), the company has established an industrial base of nearly a thousand acres and built a standardized production and processing plant of nearly 5,000 square meters, driving the development of more than 500 planting and breeding households. With the expansion of scale and the growth of benefits, Wan Qinqi's (万琴棋) efforts have also been recognized and supported. The company was recognized as a provincial-level demonstration park for returning home to start a business in 2019, and received a one-time reward of 1 million yuan, and in 2022, it enjoyed a two-year interest subsidy policy for a small and micro business guaranteed loan of 3 million yuan.
Training technology to enable farmers to really learn something.
Among the tea mountains shrouded in clouds in Pingli County (平利县), the dark brown old tea trees are gnarled and knotted, and the leaves gleam with oily light in the morning dew. "Since I was a child, I have watched my neighbors stir-fry handmade tea in earthen stoves, and the green leaves flutter in the hot iron pot. This is a memory engraved in my bones," said Wan Qinqi (万琴棋).
In the early spring of 2010, Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) obtained a junior tea artist certificate. Two years later, when she stood in the courtyard of the abandoned vocational school in Guangfo Town (广佛镇), her eyes were firmly attracted by the 30 acres of old tea trees on the back mountain. The new buds sprouting between the gnarled branches awakened the vision in her heart. Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) immediately decided to buy the courtyard and enter the tea industry.
As the tea industry gradually improved, Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) came up with new ideas. Many tea farmers are developing slowly due to lack of technology. How can we help them? In 2015, Ankang City (安康市) created an exchange platform for returning home to start a business, giving play to the role of entrepreneurship incubation bases and entrepreneurship demonstration parks to drive entrepreneurship and employment. With the help of the "Support 1,000 College Students to Start a Business" plan, Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) opened a maker training college in the Ankang City High-tech Zone Entrepreneurship Building (安康市高新区创业大厦) to specialize in training farmers in practical technologies and industrial skills.
"For each training session, we will select the best teachers so that everyone can really learn something," said Wan Qinqi (万琴棋). "Sometimes, a teacher's words or an idea may affect the development of students for a period of time in the future."
Lu Fangyun (吕芳云), 37 years old this year, married from Tianshui (天水), Gansu (甘肃). After giving birth to her second child, she went to work in the tea factory. After several training sessions, Lu Fangyun (吕芳云) gradually became interested in tea and tea art. Now, she can demonstrate tea making in tea art classes with an exquisite bun. Between the turning of her wrists, the tea whisk strikes out foam, and outside the window, the tea buds are verdant.
To date, the Maker Training College has held more than 100 training courses, training more than 1,500 students, enabling many rural women to have a skill.
Promoting sales channels and driving the development of the hometown industry.
Today, Wan Qinqi's (万琴棋) tea garden has ushered in new development. "The previous tea garden was only more than 100 acres. I have developed more than 200 acres of land opposite the park, transformed it into terraces, and introduced many new varieties."
Among the lush green tea mountain terraces, the farmer's field school founded by Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) presents a unique and vibrant teaching scene. More than 30 students followed agricultural technology experts through the tea bushes.
"Everyone, look, the branches of this tea tree are too dense, and the light transmittance is poor, which will affect the quality of spring tea," said Liu Tao (刘涛), a senior agronomist, while demonstrating pruning techniques. The students squatted around the tea tree to observe, some took out their mobile phones to shoot details, and some drew diagrams in their notebooks.
"This school was founded under the guidance of the Ankang Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (安康市农业农村局). Not only are water and electricity fees reduced, but more importantly, there is teacher support. Yu Youben (余有本) from Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University (西北农林科技大学) and Ye Yang (叶阳) from the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (中国农业科学院茶叶研究所) have all given us lectures." Speaking of these "big experts," Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) felt proud and grateful.
This school without walls has moved the classroom from the classroom to the front line of the industry, which is surging with the smell of soil. The aroma of tea wafts in the withering workshop, and the students in the tea reviewer training class carefully identify the degree of fixation; the e-commerce live broadcast area is equipped with fill lights, and the returning young people take turns showing the packaged new tea to the camera; even the resting pavilions have become exchange places, and several old tea farmers are asking technicians about the ratio of organic fertilizer...
When farmers' agricultural products are not selling well, Wan Qinqi (万琴棋) also helps farmers promote and sell them on e-commerce platforms for free, leading the team to open up an "e-commerce to help farmers expressway."
Xiong Shaocui (熊少翠) from Bajiaomiao Village (八角庙村) is a beneficiary. She used to worry about agricultural products, but with the help of Wan Qinqi (万琴棋), she sold her homemade local pork bacon, dried bamboo shoots, etc. through e-commerce platforms, with annual sales exceeding 60,000 yuan.
"My hometown is getting better and better, and I am getting more and more motivated," said Wan Qinqi (万琴棋).

Clarifying boundaries and strengthening collaboration are essential for better achieving home-school co-education and safeguarding the healthy growth of children.
Recently, a parent in Xinyang (信阳), Henan (河南) posted that a certain high school required parents to accompany students for meals and invigilate exams. After the parent refused due to other commitments, a member of the parents' committee stated, "If every parent refuses to cooperate with accompanying meals and invigilating exams, the school cannot operate." The related topic became a trending search, sparking heated discussions.
Recently, disputes over the boundaries of home-school co-education have been frequently seen. Some schools forcibly schedule parents to take turns on "school escort duty," while others require parents to take turns supervising evening self-study sessions... Some management responsibilities that should be borne by the school have been shifted to parents, adding new workloads to many working parents who are already burdened with the dual pressures of work and family.
The original intention of home-school co-education is to form a joint educational force, optimize the educational environment, and promote the all-round development and healthy growth of students. The "Opinions on Improving the Collaborative Education Mechanism of Schools, Families, and Society," jointly issued by the Ministry of Education (教育部) and 13 other departments, clarifies the collaborative education responsibilities of schools, families, and society, requiring the promotion of each party's strengths, close cooperation, and mutual support to effectively enhance the joint educational force and jointly shoulder the important responsibility for students' growth and success. However, some schools have distorted this in practice: regarding parents as a low-cost solution to compensate for their own lack of capacity, excessively distributing responsibilities such as teaching management and logistical support; having the parents' committee implement management, issue tasks, and convey sensitive requirements on their behalf, claiming it is voluntary but in reality making it mandatory...
Under the constraints of various objective conditions, home-school co-education has gradually become unbalanced. This imbalance stems from the ambiguity of educational responsibility boundaries. Invigilation is the responsibility of teachers, food safety requires joint supervision by professional departments, and order maintenance should be handled by security guards or traffic police. Relying on parents who lack professional skills not only makes it difficult to eradicate problems but also easily breeds formalism or affects teaching order.
To promote a more reasonable and efficient development of the home-school co-education model, education departments, schools, parents' committees, and parents should each perform their duties and enhance understanding and support. Education departments should strengthen supervision and increase support for schools with limited resources. Those with the means can also introduce advanced technical means such as smart management platforms to reduce reliance on manpower. Schools should clarify their main responsibilities and optimize management mechanisms. If parental assistance is needed, it should follow the principle of voluntariness and provide flexible options, avoiding a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Parents' committees should actively coordinate and make reasonable arrangements, serve as a bridge of communication, and ensure parents' right to choose autonomously while helping to complete school work.
Education is not the sole task of any one party but a common undertaking of schools, families, and society. Only by clarifying boundaries and strengthening collaboration can we better achieve home-school co-education and safeguard the healthy growth of children.

Currently, manicures have become a way for many people to express themselves, but frequent manicures and improper operations may cause damage to the nails. What "signals" do nails show that may indicate potential health problems? Besides manicures, what other habits can harm nails? How to protect nails? The reporter interviewed Wu Chao (吴超), attending physician of the Department of Dermatology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital (北京协和医院).
Wu Chao (吴超) introduced that healthy nails usually have the following characteristics: rectangular or square in shape, with a length of about 1/2 of the first phalanx; translucent and light pink in color, with uniform color; smooth surface, with luster, no vertical ridges, grooves, depressions, spots, etc.; firm and elastic in texture, moderate in thickness, and not easy to break.
What conditions of the nails may indicate health problems? Wu Chao (吴超) introduced that it can be viewed from two aspects: abnormal color and abnormal shape.
For example, pale nails may be related to anemia. A blood routine is required. For mild anemia (hemoglobin 90-120 g/L), supplement iron and vitamin B12 (such as red meat, dark green vegetables); moderate to severe anemia (hemoglobin <90 g/L) should be treated in the hematology clinic in time.
If the nails appear purplish-red, it may be related to subungual ecchymosis caused by squeezing or trauma. Avoid squeezing as much as possible, and pay attention to observation. It usually subsides on its own in about 3 months. If there is no sign of subsidence, it is recommended to go to the dermatology clinic.
If the nail has regular black linear streaks, it may be a nail matrix nevus. If there is no change, you can continue to observe. If the black line continues to widen and the color deepens, you should go to the dermatology clinic. If it is a black patch, or a black spot involving the skin at the root of the nail, you should go to the dermatology clinic as soon as possible to rule out melanoma.
"But there is no need to be overly anxious. If there are mild vertical or horizontal lines on the nails, it is generally a normal manifestation and not a disease. It can be improved through a balanced diet, such as supplementing protein, vitamins, calcium, etc. Those with more severe symptoms can take compound vitamin B and vitamin C orally," said Wu Chao (吴超).
If there are obvious longitudinal ridge-like protrusions on the nails, it may be related to lichen planus of the nail; if there are multiple small punctate depressions on the surface of the nail, it may be related to psoriatic nail; if the nail is thickened, accompanied by yellowing, desquamation, fragility, and uneven surface, it may be onychomycosis, that is, tinea unguium. It is recommended to go to the dermatology clinic in time for these situations.
Some common bad habits, such as some people like to bite their nails, what harm will it bring? "Long-term nail biting can easily cause nail deformation, such as shortening of the nail plate, serrated edges of the nail, transverse grooves or longitudinal ridges, and dull nail surface. In severe cases, subungual hemorrhage, nail softening, nail atrophy, and paronychia may occur," said Wu Chao (吴超). Long-term nail biting may also cause tooth wear or gingivitis, and easily cause digestive tract infections and intestinal parasitic diseases. If it develops into onychophagia, it may cause anxiety, inferiority complex, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, which needs to be improved by reducing stress or alternative behaviors (such as chewing gum) or going to the psychological medicine department for treatment.
It should be noted that it is advisable to choose a regular institution for manicures to ensure tool disinfection and avoid cross-infection. Avoid over-trimming the skin at the root of the nail and the nail groove to prevent paronychia. If there are signs of redness, swelling, and pain, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time. At the same time, reduce the use of nail polish containing formaldehyde and acetone, and give priority to nail polish gel with non-irritating ingredients. The interval between two manicures should be at least 1 month to avoid repeated polishing that causes the nails to become thin and brittle.
Return to TopThis newspaper reported from Beijing on May 27th (Reporter Qiu Chaoyi (邱超奕)) Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (人力资源社会保障部) and four other departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Further Improving the Public Employment Service System," proposing 20 measures to further improve a public employment service system that is equally inclusive, functionally complete, precisely targeted for assistance, fundamentally solid, and digitally empowered.
Focusing on improving the equally inclusive public employment service mechanism, the opinions propose clarifying the territorial service responsibilities to provide public employment services to urban and rural workers and employers locally and nearby. Standardize service items and formulate a unified provincial service list. Reasonably arrange national public employment service regional centers, carry out in-depth public employment service cooperation, and promote regional service coordination.
Focusing on improving the functionally complete public employment service content, the opinions emphasize the comprehensive release of employment information and the precise implementation of job placement and vocational guidance. Implement models such as "direct subsidies and quick processing" and "policy calculators" to efficiently implement employment policies. Improve employment and unemployment management and earnestly provide employment assistance.
Focusing on promoting a precisely targeted public employment service model, the opinions point out the need to improve the discovery and identification mechanism and proactively and promptly include service recipients in the scope of employment assistance. Implement job search and employment profiling, comprehensively adopt methods such as face-to-face listening and communication, and use vocational aptitude assessment tools to accurately determine the type and degree of their employment difficulties and carry out stratified and classified services. Strengthen follow-up tracking and return visits and adjust employment service strategies in a timely manner.
Focusing on creating a fundamentally solid public employment service pattern, the opinions require improving the comprehensive service capabilities of cities and counties to provide a full chain of public employment services. Integrate basic-level public employment services into the Party building-led grassroots governance, implement them in the list of responsibilities of townships (streets), and create a "15-minute" employment service circle. Strengthen the construction of a front-line personnel team and build regional public employment service personnel training bases. Expand the service supply of social forces.
Return to TopBeijing (北京), May 27th (Reporter Zhao Yongxin (赵永新)) The clinical research results of a weight-loss and glucose-lowering drug in China were recently published online in the clinical medicine journal *The New England Journal of Medicine*, accompanied by expert commentary. This marks a new stage in China's (我国) level of biotechnology innovation.
The trade name of this weight-loss and glucose-lowering drug is Mazdutide (玛仕度肽), which belongs to the glucagon (GCG)/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) dual receptor agonist. It is expected to be approved for marketing in China (国内) this year, with indications for weight loss and glucose lowering.
The research results published in *The New England Journal of Medicine* come from a low-dose weight-loss registration clinical study of Mazdutide (玛仕度肽) called "GLORY-1". The study enrolled a total of 610 obese or overweight subjects with at least one obesity-related complication, who were randomly assigned to receive 4 mg, 6 mg of Mazdutide (玛仕度肽), and placebo, once a week, subcutaneously injected for 48 weeks.
The lead researcher of the study, Ji Linong (纪立农), director of the Department of Endocrinology at Peking University People's Hospital (北京大学人民医院), said that for a long time, global obesity diagnosis and treatment guidelines have been biased in their applicability to Asian populations. Compared with European and American populations, overweight and obese people in China (中国) have unique disease characteristics and treatment needs, and there is an urgent need to guide the weight management of overweight and obese people in China (中国) with Chinese (中国) evidence. "All the subjects in the study were from the Chinese (中国) population, and nearly half of the patients lost more than 15% of their weight."
Return to TopIf we immerse ourselves in Yunnan (云南) through sports, exploring this land favored by nature by wandering through flower-filled paths, climbing the cliffs of great river valleys, and sailing on mirror-like blue lakes... all of this makes it possible to "fall in love with a place through a sport."
Currently, Yunnan (云南) is transforming the "travel" sparked by competitions into "residence" driven by the city, continuously releasing new momentum for sports tourism consumption. Yunnan (云南) is integrating its unique natural and cultural tourism resources to create a "sports and residence" model that "connects nature through sports, integrates culture through events, and attributes life to the city."
Yunnan (云南) has built a network of training bases covering different altitudes. Training bases in Kunming (昆明市), Yuxi (玉溪市), Qujing (曲靖市), Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (文山壮族苗族自治州), Lijiang (丽江市), Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (德宏傣族景颇族自治州), Baoshan (保山市), and other places form a cluster effect. Relying on the advantages of plateau training, complete infrastructure, and a "medical-scientific-training" support system, it has attracted teams such as the Chinese Women's Basketball Team, the Chinese Athletics Team, and the Chinese Cycling Team to train in Yunnan (云南).
Enjoying the "Four Seasons Sports Paradise" in Yunnan (云南) includes international events such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Kunming Marathon (上合昆明马拉松赛) and local IP events such as the Yunnan Nine Plateau Lake Mountain and Water League (云南九大高原湖泊山水联赛) (referred to as the "Nine Lake League" (九湖联赛)). In the first quarter of this year, Yunnan Province (云南省) held 549 events, with nearly 320,000 participants and 2.02 million spectators. During the "May Day" holiday, the Nine Lake League (九湖联赛) allowed runners to enjoy a new "sports and residence" experience of "sports viewing + cultural experience + consumer shopping." At the same time, Yunnan (云南) is actively building a "Greater Shangri-La" outdoor sports development cluster and experience area, creating broad prospects for "sports and residence."
Yunnan (云南) offers differentiated "sports and residence" packages for different tourist groups: launching "sports + hot spring" packages in hot spring resorts to effectively serve the elderly; launching the Lijiang Old Town Football School's (丽江古城足球学校) "training + study tour" model for teenagers; building all-age sports consumption scenarios, forming a "one person participates, multiple days stay, whole family consumes" model, allowing sports training to deeply integrate with the local ecology, and creating a new "sports and residence" experience.
The Yunnan Provincial Sports Bureau (云南省体育局) promotes "three-dimensional empowerment" and "four-circle integration" to create a new model for "sports and residence." Yunnan (云南) implements policy empowerment, industrial empowerment, and technological empowerment, breaking the boundaries between sports and tourism resources to achieve optimal allocation of resource elements. Taking the "top event circle" as the lead, the "outdoor sports circle" as the support, the "ecological experience circle" as the expansion, and the "cultural derivative circle" as the foothold, it creates a distinctive sports culture of "unity and progress, diversity and integration, ecological wisdom, openness and sharing," continuously empowering "sports and residence."
In 2023, the first China Outdoor Sports Industry Conference (中国户外运动产业大会) was held in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture (大理白族自治州). The 2024 China Outdoor Sports Industry Conference (中国户外运动产业大会) was jointly held by Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture (大理白族自治州), Lijiang City (丽江市), Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (迪庆藏族自治州), and Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture (怒江傈僳族自治州). The two conferences have brought a cumulative direct economic benefit of over 800 million yuan to the local area and driven economic benefits of over 1.6 billion yuan. Yunnan Sports (云南体育) has made a new "sports and residence" attempt with demonstrative significance, shifting from "passively welcoming traffic" to "actively cultivating demand."
"Sports and residence" is committed to making Yunnan (云南) a "poetry and distance" destination for global sports enthusiasts, making tourism consumption more vibrant, building Yunnan (云南) from a "sports mecca" into a destination and demonstration area for ideal living, and allowing guests from all over the world to enjoy "a life called Yunnan (云南)."

"Did your fathers tell you about their lives in the 'Nepal Mansion'?" Shortly after the reporter asked this question on social media, Ramjan Singh, a young Nepali, replied with a video clip. In the clip, Singh looked distressed as he recalled the hardships his father's generation had endured.
It turned out that the "Nepal Mansion" was not a mansion at all, but some caves on the steep mountain cliffs north of Pulan County (普兰县), Ngari Prefecture (阿里地区), Tibet Autonomous Region (西藏自治区). In the early years, Nepalis who came to Pulan to do odd jobs often used these caves as their dwellings.
The reporter met Singh and other young Nepalis in Pulan. On-site interviews revealed that they no longer lived in caves, but in houses below the "Nepal Mansion." Although they were new arrivals and living conditions were still simple, these young people had better expectations than their fathers—because the Pulan Tangga Border Trade Market (普兰唐嘎边贸市场), which faces the "Nepal Mansion" from a distance, has grown from a small border market into a new border trade hub on the "Salt-Wool Road" (盐羊古道), bringing new prospects for deepening exchanges between Chinese and Nepalese border residents.
Newcomers Under the "Nepal Mansion": "There are more opportunities here"
Pulan County (普兰县) is located at the junction of China, India, and Nepal, and is the smallest county in terms of area in Ngari Prefecture (阿里地区).
Pulan is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The average altitude here exceeds 3,900 meters, situated in the valley between the Gangdise Mountains (冈底斯山脉) and the western section of the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉).
Driving north along National Highway 564 (564国道) from Pulan County (普兰县), you will see a row of yellowish-brown mountain cliffs with caves of varying sizes embedded in them. This is what locals call the "Nepal Mansion." The origin of this name is no longer traceable. It is conceivable that in the past, whenever night fell and the temporary residents of the mountain caves lit their lights, the name "Nepal Mansion" was indeed quite apt.
Regarding the formation of these caves, Zhou Wenqiang (周文强), a retired cadre from the Pulan County (普兰县) Party Committee Propaganda Department (县委宣传部) who is familiar with the local situation, believes that "most are man-made, with some being natural. The caves were mostly excavated by early indigenous people on the mountain cliffs, and they have been renovated many times to form their current state."
Walking into the caves, traces of human habitation are everywhere. Irregular but similarly sized stones are scattered on the ground, and most of the caves have traces of smoke. Just as the reporter was about to find a local to chat with, he turned around and saw several young Nepalis smiling at the door of the house below the mountain.
"We came here to find work, there are more opportunities here." The leading young man was Singh, who came from Kathmandu (加德满都), the capital of Nepal. His partners came from Nepalese villages near the China-Nepal border.
Venturing out is always difficult at the beginning. The five young men shared a bungalow, with bean porridge simmering on the stove, bubbling and gurgling, and the firewood in the stove was burning vigorously, seemingly reminding them to take the new life that was about to begin seriously. However, compared to their fathers, these young people are familiar with the Internet and have a broader vision.
Speaking of the future, these young people frequently mentioned a place—the Pulan Tangga Border Trade Market (普兰唐嘎边贸市场), located in a brand-new complex of buildings across the river from their residence.
Tangga Border Trade Market: A 500-Year-Old Trade Rebirth
Walking from the "Nepal Mansion" to the Pulan Tangga Border Trade Market (普兰唐嘎边贸市场) takes only 10 minutes, but it has spanned a long time and space.
According to records, Pulan County (普兰县) has had a history of folk border trade for more than 500 years. Since the peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1951, the Tangga Border Trade Market has undergone several stages of construction and development, from 70 to 80 simple buildings without roofs before 1995 to a modern international trade distribution center with a 98% occupancy rate of merchants in the foreign trade transaction area and an annual turnover of nearly 9 million yuan (RMB, the same below), integrating the sale of small commodities, tourist souvenirs, and ethnic handicrafts.
"In the early years, the elderly people in Pulan said that most of the Nepalese border merchants were assistants and grooms of large Indian merchants." When talking about Pulan's border trade and cultural exchanges, Zhou Wenqiang (周文强) told reporters that the border merchants from Humla (胡姆拉), Bajhang (巴章), and Darchula (达尔丘拉) in northwestern Nepal, who were employed by large merchants, seized the opportunity after the 1960s to change their past practice of only driving horse caravans, carrying yak wool, and doing hard labor for their bosses. They started doing small-scale trade business in an organized manner. "They acted as intermediaries, revitalizing the border trade between China, India, and Nepal, and indirectly guaranteeing the basic needs of people's lives in the border areas of the three countries."
The Tibetan-style buildings with white walls are dotted with ethnic-style shop signs, and the market is clean and new. In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and several Nepalese merchants were sitting together chatting and laughing. When the reporter arrived, Pema Lama (佩纳·拉玛), the owner of a Nepalese wooden bowl shop, was introducing something to several customers. His voice was loud and clear, and his enthusiasm revealed shrewdness. He said that his shop was not big, and his annual turnover was about 300,000 yuan, with a profit of more than 50,000 yuan. Locals told reporters that this was a relatively generous income in Nepal.
What made him even warmer was the sense of intimacy that the people of Pulan gave him. "Whether it is the Chinese government or the Chinese people, they are very good to us. I feel a lot of warmth here, thank you very much!" Lama said.
Tingley (廷莱), a young Nepali who also runs a wooden bowl shop, has been working in China for 6 years. His wife and children are in his hometown. When asked what his biggest wish for the future was, Tingley smiled shyly: "I hope my children can inherit this shop."
Zhou Wenqiang (周文强) told the reporter such a story: A Nepali named Ziman (孜曼) came to Pulan with his parents when he was a child, and later started a border trade business. Now Ziman's son has inherited the family business and is already a well-known big businessman. A remark made by Ziman impressed Zhou Wenqiang: "As long as the Tangga market is there, we will have a way to do business, and we are willing to climb even the highest snow-capped mountains."
Walking into the Other Side of the Border: Seeing the Road of Exchange at the Foot of the "Holy Mountain"
In Pulan, folk exchanges are not limited to border trade.
Opening the map, you will find that Pulan's geographical location seems "isolated from the world," but in fact it is "accessible in all directions." Pulan is adjacent to India in the southwest and Nepal in the south. Mount Kailash (冈仁波齐) and Lake Manasarovar (玛旁雍错) within its borders are jointly revered as "holy mountains" and "sacred lakes" by Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, and Bon religion. Pulan Port (普兰口岸) is a national first-class land open port approved by the State Council, and is the main channel for Indian and Nepalese people to worship the "holy mountains" and "sacred lakes," and is also an important port for political, economic, cultural, and religious exchanges between China, India, and Nepal.
The Peacock River (孔雀河), only about 10 meters wide, flows quietly, gently separating Pulan Port (普兰口岸) from the village of Yusa (玉萨村) in Nepal on the opposite bank, making people inevitably curious to take a look at the other side.
Walking across the suspension bridge over the Peacock River (孔雀河), you arrive at Yusa Village (玉萨村). This is not a big village, and you can walk around it in 10 minutes. The village is very quiet, with mostly women and children. In the past, from May to October every year, large numbers of international tourists going to Mount Kailash (冈仁波齐) would arrive, and this is when it would be busiest. The Nepalese side has helicopter transportation services, and helicopters frequently take off and land on a helipad the size of half a basketball court outside the village.
Although this lively scene has not yet arrived, the bars in the village have already revealed some clues of the "international style" of the small village. A conspicuous English sign hangs outside a low white wall: "Mansarovar Hotel Bar & Restaurant, Enjoy Your Trip!"
If you observe carefully, you will also find that in such a small border village in northwestern Nepal, there are actually many offices of Nepalese government agencies. A two-story building with a Nepalese flag has a sign that reads "Immigration Office," while another small building has a sign that reads "Customs Office."
"Although Yusa Village (玉萨村) is not big, and cannot even be considered a village, but more like a temporary settlement, it is a key node used to ensure the flow of personnel and goods across the border," Zhou Wenqiang (周文强) introduced. "With the expansion of border trade and cultural exchanges, perhaps we are witnessing the rise of a border town."
"The location of Pulan is also a must-pass for the 'Salt-Wool Road' (盐羊古道). The traditional barter trade of the 'Salt-Wool Road' (盐羊古道), mainly based on salt and wool, can be traced back more than 1,000 years and has witnessed the friendly exchanges between China and Nepal. This kind of trade is an important foundation for promoting cultural exchange and people-to-people connectivity. Pulan's development potential may far exceed our imagination," Zhou Wenqiang (周文强) said.
Link: Ngari, Tibet
Ngari Prefecture (阿里地区) is located in western Tibet, in the southwestern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and is the forefront of Tibet and even the whole country opening to South Asia. Ngari is adjacent to the Kashmir region and countries such as India and Nepal, with an average altitude of over 4,500 meters, and is known as the "Roof of the World's Roof" and the "Plateau on the Plateau."
Tangga Border Trade Market (唐嘎边贸市场) is located south of the Peacock River (孔雀河) and east of the Zhangjie River (彰杰河) in Pulan County (普兰县), covering an area of approximately 62,700 square meters, including 526 shops, 172 apartment hotels, and 12 sets (rooms) of warehouses. Tourists from all over the world can experience the different cultures of China and Nepal here.

In many people's imaginations, border regions might be synonymous with isolation and desolation. But stepping onto the land of Pulan County (普兰县), Ngari Prefecture (阿里地区), Tibet Autonomous Region (西藏自治区), all stereotypes quietly dissolve in the Himalayan (喜马拉雅) morning light. In the distance are towering snow-capped mountains, and beneath your feet are clear rivers. Cross-border cultural exchanges make this frontier a vivid scene of civilizational dialogue.
The story of Pulan (普兰) is an epic of openness written with yak butter and highland barley. From the distant camel bells on the ancient "Salt and Sheep Road" (盐羊古道) in the past, to the current annual import and export trade volume of Pulan Port (普兰口岸) exceeding 20 million yuan, from caravan merchants to container trucks, from cash transactions to electronic payments – what has changed is the form, what remains unchanged is the economic and trade exchanges and civilizational dialogue that transcend geographical barriers. For thousands of years, the border residents here have used trade as a bond and culture as a bridge, writing chapters of harmonious coexistence of different civilizations.
The story of Pulan (普兰) tells us that border regions are precisely the forefront of openness and the window of exchange. Pulan (普兰) inspires people: openness, inclusiveness, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation are the right path for the development of human civilization. The friendly exchanges of border cities are also a microcosm of friendly relations between countries. The story of Pulan (普兰), this border county, is a vivid footnote to China's (中国) policy of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness in its neighborhood diplomacy.

At present, re-examining Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司)'s development towards innovation and progress further strengthens our confidence in moving forward with great strides. Adhering to integrity and innovation, hammering one strike after another, the "China (中国)" giant ship cleaves through the waves, advancing bravely.
What kind of product can both accompany the Shenzhou (神舟) spacecraft to explore the sky, and accompany the tunnel boring machine to dig underground, and also help offshore wind turbines generate green electricity?
The answer is: bearings. These bearing products come from Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司), a company that has been around since the "First Five-Year Plan (一五)".
On May 19, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out during his inspection of Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司): "We adhere to the path of independent development of industry, relying on our own strength to develop industry and manufacturing. This path is the right one!"
From 1954 to 2025, Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司) has moved forward along with the development of New China. Today, the output value of its high-end bearings accounts for 70%, and its products fill domestic gaps in many fields, supporting the backbone of the national bearing industry.
Among them, there is the perseverance of "drawing a blueprint to the end."
For more than 70 years, Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司), which started with bearings, has never deviated from its main business, insisting on making one type of product to the extreme. Once, high-end bearings were "untouchable and unreachable," but Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司) insisted on taking the path of independent innovation. Through high investment, strong research and development, and courageous innovation, it has successively overcome "hard bones" such as aerospace bearings and rail transit bearings. Its products are applied to major equipment such as "Chang'e (嫦娥)," "Tiangong (天宫)," and "China Sky Eye (中国天眼)."
This is exactly what New China has looked like along the way. From the "First Five-Year Plan (一五)" to the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan (十四五)", we have worked one after another, running one relay after another, and finally achieved leapfrog development.
Looking back at the beginning of the founding of New China, it was poor and blank. Matches, soap, and iron were all bought from abroad. Today, in the year of the conclusion of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan (十四五)", the overall scale of China's (中国) manufacturing industry has remained the world's largest for 15 consecutive years, with the most complete industrial categories and the most complete industrial system.
One five-year plan after another is both accumulation and rapid change. No country in the world like China (中国) persists in formulating and implementing plans to guide national economic and social development.
Among them, there are innovative measures that keep pace with the times.
Walking into the intelligent factory production line of Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司), robot bearings with an inner diameter of a few centimeters and wind turbine bearings with an outer diameter of several meters are undoubtedly "star" products. A traditional enterprise provides supporting products for new products in emerging industries, and the collision between the new and the old is exciting.
Adhering to the main business does not mean being stagnant. In recent years, on the one hand, Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司) has actively absorbed new technologies, accelerated the intelligent, digital, and green transformation of production lines, and improved production efficiency. On the other hand, it has closely followed the development trend of the industry, accelerated the speed of new product research and development, continuously provided supporting facilities for new industries, opened up new markets, and cultivated new growth points, so that traditional industries can continue to glow with new vitality.
This is exactly the concept that New China has always adhered to. "Adhere to what should be adhered to, adjust what should be adjusted, and innovate what should be innovated." From the "First Five-Year Plan (一五)" to the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan (十四五)", we not only adhere to long-term strategic goals without wavering, but also adjust medium-term goals and short-term plans realistically according to the domestic and international situation, realizing the organic combination of long-term, medium-term, and short-term, and developing forward in a rolling manner.
"Heaven operates with newness, and people live with newness." Today's Made in China (中国制造) is developing new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions, upgrading traditional industries, expanding emerging industries, and cultivating future industries through innovation. In April, the added value of China's (中国) high-tech manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 10% year-on-year, 3.9 percentage points faster than the overall industrial enterprises above designated size.
Standing at the present moment of the closing year of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan (十四五)" and the planning and layout of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan (十五五)", re-examining Luoyang Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (洛阳轴承集团股份有限公司)'s development towards innovation and progress further strengthens our confidence in moving forward with great strides. Adhering to integrity and innovation, hammering one strike after another, the "China (中国)" giant ship cleaves through the waves, 一往无前 (yī wǎng wú qián - "go forward, never look back," to advance dauntlessly; to be determined to go ahead).
Return to TopNot long ago, the "Market Access Negative List (2025 Edition)" was released. The number of items on the list has been reduced from 117 in the 2022 edition to 106, further relaxing market access restrictions and optimizing market access management.
In 2018, China officially implemented the market access negative list system. In August 2024, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中办) and the General Office of the State Council (国办) issued the "Opinions on Improving the Market Access System," proposing to "improve the management model of the market access negative list." Over the past seven years, what role has this system played, and what policy benefits has it brought to the majority of business entities, especially private enterprises? This reporter visited Anhui (安徽), Hainan (海南), and Yunnan (云南) to conduct interviews.

Anhui (安徽) Optimizes the Market Access Environment for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operations, etc.
Escorting the Development of the Low-Altitude Economy
By Xu Jing (徐靖), reporter of this newspaper
"Buzz buzz buzz--" In the urban air transportation hub port located in Luogang Park (骆岗公园), Hefei (合肥), Anhui (安徽), an 8-axis 16-rotor electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft took off, circled around, and accurately returned to its original position, drawing cheers from the audience. This "air taxi" belongs to Hefei Heyi Aviation Co., Ltd. (合肥合翼航空有限公司), which obtained the first batch of civil unmanned aerial vehicle operation qualification certificates in China in March this year.
The "Opinions on Improving the Market Access System" clearly proposes to make good use of advanced technology application promotion centers and various scientific and technological achievement transformation and other innovation platforms, to smooth the industrial system, innovation resources, capital elements, application scenarios, institutional policies, etc., and to accelerate the development of new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions. "In November 2022, the International Advanced Technology Application Promotion Center (Hefei) (国际先进技术应用推进中心（合肥）) (hereinafter referred to as "IATAC (Hefei) (国先中心（合肥）)") was officially established, with the aim of optimizing the market access environment for new business forms and new fields, and better stimulating the vitality of innovation entities," Cheng Yu (程羽), Executive Director of IATAC (Hefei) (国先中心（合肥）), told reporters.
On the one hand, efficiently allocate market factors.
"For enterprises in the low-altitude economy field, application scenarios are very important. However, airspace resources, communication frequency bands, etc., all involve market access issues. In the past, enterprises often needed to interface with multiple parties," said Li Xiaona (李晓娜), General Manager of Heyi Aviation (合翼航空公司).
Relying on IATAC (Hefei) (国先中心（合肥）), Hefei (合肥) is planning and building a batch of advanced, modular, and highly integrated "super scenarios" in Luogang Park (骆岗公园) to realize the unified platform control of various unmanned equipment, provide test sites for new technologies and new products, and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
"With scenario-driven development, our products can accumulate experience and improve technology in flight, providing support for later commercial operation," said Li Xiaona (李晓娜). Today, in Luogang Park (骆岗公园), many scientific and technological achievements such as takeaway drones, logistics drones, agricultural plant protection inspection aircraft, and unmanned sightseeing vehicles are accelerating their implementation.
On the other hand, explore and regulate the market environment.
New business forms and new fields are often in a period of rapid development, with diverse innovation entities, rapid technology iteration, and variable development paths, making it difficult to manage them using traditional market access methods.
Taking the low-altitude field as an example, in the past, although relevant enterprises could design and produce aircraft, they were difficult to operate in practice due to access restrictions. This requires modifying relevant rules and improving management systems. In response, IATAC (Hefei) (国先中心（合肥）) jointly established a joint safety supervision office with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (中国民航局), the Hefei Municipal Government (合肥市政府), and relevant enterprises to carefully sort out possible emergencies and the division of rights and responsibilities of various responsible entities, creating conditions for relevant enterprises to operate low-altitude aircraft.
"In the initial stage of the industry, jointly formulating standards and norms with government departments, industry institutions, and technology companies can more quickly clarify the rights and responsibilities of industry regulators, business entities, and local authorities, so that technical standards are more clear and the institutional system is more sound," Cheng Yu (程羽) introduced. Over the past two years, the center has given full play to its resource integration and efficiency advantages, focusing on low-altitude economy, artificial intelligence, smart cities, and other fields, and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces.
The exploration of IATAC (Hefei) (国先中心（合肥）) continues. At present, the center has attracted nearly 100 companies from all over the country to carry out low-altitude intelligent network equipment experiments.
In April this year, the "Market Access Negative List (2025 Edition)" was released. Among them, based on the promulgated laws and administrative regulations, some management measures for new business forms and new fields are included. According to the "Interim Regulations on the Flight Management of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles," "issuance of civil unmanned aerial vehicle operation qualification certificates (excluding miniature unmanned aerial vehicles)" is included in the list.
"The new version of the list will further standardize the market order and give enterprises more confidence in development." Li Xiaona (李晓娜) is full of expectations for the future.
Hainan (海南) Simplifies Market Access Approval Processes in the Commercial Aerospace Field
Putting Commercial Space Launches on the "Fast Track"
By Wang Yunshan (王云杉), reporter of this newspaper
At dawn on March 12, in Wenchang City (文昌市), Hainan Province (海南省), the Long March 8 Y6 carrier rocket (长征八号遥六运载火箭) ignited and lifted off from Launch Pad No. 1 of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site (海南商业航天发射场), sending the fifth batch of Chasing the Stars Constellation (千帆星座) networking satellites into its predetermined orbit in a "one rocket, eighteen satellites" configuration. Following the successful first launch from Launch Pad No. 2 on November 30 last year, the successful first launch from Launch Pad No. 1 this time marked that China's first commercial space launch site has the capability of dual-pad launches.
It is understood that the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site (海南商业航天发射场) is currently making every effort to advance the construction of the second phase of the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The newly built Launch Pads No. 3 and No. 4 will have a combined annual launch capacity of no less than 32 times, and the designed annual launch capacity of the four launch pads is expected to exceed 60 times.
The accelerated expansion of the launch site and the "queueing up" of rockets for launch are inseparable from the empowerment of market access policies. In April 2021, the "Opinions on Several Special Measures to Relax Market Access in Support of the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port" (关于支持海南自由贸易港建设放宽市场准入若干特别措施的意见) (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") was issued, clearly proposing to "optimize the market access environment in the commercial aerospace field in Hainan" and "support the construction of an integrated and open Wenchang Space Launch Site (文昌航天发射场)."
This measure is of great significance. In the past, the main rocket launch sites in China launched forty to fifty times a year, mainly to meet major national launch missions, which was difficult to meet the growing demand for commercial rocket launches. "The optimization of the market access environment has directly promoted the operation of the first commercial-oriented space launch site in China, giving the majority of commercial rocket and satellite companies a stable and reliable launch platform, and the virtuous cycle of the industry from research and development, manufacturing, launch operations to application services has been opened up, and China's commercial aerospace industry has embarked on a 'fast track'," said Xu Xikai (许锡锴), Deputy Director of the Development Department of Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Co., Ltd. (海南国际商业航天发射有限公司).
Market access reform affects the whole body. "The reform is not only about opening up rocket launch resources to enterprises, but also a systematic project. Management measures in many links such as rocket transportation, assembly, and launch approval must be matched with the needs of industrial development," said Xu Xikai (许锡锴). Allowing the construction of commercial space launch sites is only part of the optimization of the market access environment, and behind it is the sorting and optimization of all links in the space launch management system.
The "Opinions" propose to optimize the handling procedures for matters such as space launch declaration and space launch site coordination, and enhance the safety supervision capabilities of activities such as the production, storage, transportation, and testing of carrier rockets, engines, and related products. Xu Xikai (许锡锴) told reporters that all parties are accelerating the promotion of the improvement of various supporting measures to further optimize and simplify the approval process.
Today, the upstream and downstream of the commercial space launch industry chain are accelerating their gathering in Hainan (海南), and a number of projects such as telemetry and control systems, ground systems, and application systems have started construction in Hainan (海南), and a number of commercial rocket companies and commercial satellite companies have signed industrial investment agreements.
"The completion and operation of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site (海南商业航天发射场) has greatly improved the availability of rocket launch resources, providing a rare opportunity for the company to carry out technological breakthroughs and lay out the entire industrial chain of rocket launch and recovery," said Li Baohai (李宝海), Deputy General Manager of Hainan Xingji Rongyao Aerospace Launch Technology Co., Ltd. (海南星际荣耀航天发射技术有限责任公司). After the rocket is recovered, it also involves links such as inspection, maintenance, and test runs. "At present, the corresponding reuse factory and test base are under construction, and partners on the supply chain will follow up one after another."
As of the end of February this year, more than 700 aerospace-related enterprises have settled in Wenchang International Aerospace City (文昌国际航天城), and 26 satellite enterprises are accelerating their implementation. "We will continue to simplify the launch approval process, improve the efficiency of launch site use, promote the implementation of the industrial chain, and cultivate and strengthen the industrial cluster covering the entire chain of commercial launch, rocket manufacturing, and satellite applications," said Cong Jinsong (丛劲松), Deputy Director of the Hainan Provincial Development and Reform Commission (海南省发展和改革委员会).
Yunnan (云南) Conducts In-depth Evaluation of Market Access Effectiveness
Promoting Access Optimization with "Comprehensive Physical Examination"
By Zhang Chi (张驰), reporter of this newspaper
"Why is the number of newly established travel agencies in a certain place zero, even though it is also a popular tourist area?" This question was discovered by Yunnan Province (云南省) in a market access effectiveness evaluation.
"The clues reflected by the data are the potential bottlenecks in market access." After in-depth investigation by staff, it was found that due to the purification and rectification of the tourism market, the local culture and tourism department did not carry out approvals in accordance with relevant regulations, which affected the access and operation of local travel agencies. Later, after the collection, identification, and rectification of clues, the place legally restored the approval of travel agencies, and the operating entities in the tourism market regained their vitality.
Carrying out effectiveness evaluation is an important part of improving the market access system, and it is intended to use systematic and scientific methods to examine the progress of administrative entities at all levels in implementing the market access system, and to promote the improvement of the access efficiency of operating entities and the government's access management capabilities. In recent years, the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) has successively guided two batches of 10 provinces to carry out effectiveness evaluation pilots, and Yunnan (云南) was one of the first pilot provinces in 2020.
For effectiveness evaluation, the indicators and methods must be scientific. Staff of the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission (云南省发展改革委) told reporters that the indicator system used by various provinces to carry out effectiveness evaluation is composed of "national general indicators + local characteristic indicators." The former is uniformly formulated and released by the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) and dynamically adjusted, including 5 first-level indicators, 12 second-level indicators, and 3 deduction indicators, such as breaking down barriers, administrative license approval efficiency, list implementation work mechanism, and feedback channels for operating entities, with a weight of 80%; the latter is compiled by the provincial-level development and reform departments, with a weight of 20%.
In the evaluation, the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission (云南省发展改革委) unified the required data to the market access effectiveness evaluation platform at the provincial level through departmental collaboration, and at the same time released questionnaires to operating entities throughout the province, and cross-compared and verified the survey results with the data analysis results.
"Effectiveness evaluation is a 'comprehensive physical examination' of market access work, which can accurately and objectively reflect the effectiveness and existing problems of the market access system construction in various places, promote reform and construction through evaluation, and promote the investigation, rectification, and adjustment and improvement of access barriers and access policies," staff of the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission (云南省发展改革委) told reporters. In the latest evaluation in 2023, the effectiveness index of Yunnan (云南) Province was 81.32 points, and the effectiveness index has steadily increased for three consecutive years, and more than 28,000 operating entities have "liked" the list system.
Promoting work with evaluation, some cities in Yunnan (云南) continue to promote market access reform. For example, in response to the lack of approval norms for new business forms such as homestays, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture (大理白族自治州) actively explores a new model of homestay access and supervision.
"Different homestay specifications are different. Whether to approve them according to hostels, hotels, or farmhouses needs to be flexibly responded to according to the actual situation. If it involves catering and other business activities, the approval will be more complicated," said relevant staff of the culture and tourism department of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture (大理白族自治州). If the application is simply rejected because "it has not been approved and dare not approve it," it will not only damage the initiative of the operating entity, but also affect the vitality of the tourism industry.
Which business forms can enter the market? In the process of implementing the market access negative list, Dali Prefecture (大理州) linked 6 departments to realize the joint review and approval of the "five certificates and one filing" for homestay business licenses, and set up comprehensive service windows for hotels and homestays in the state-level and 12 county (city) government service centers. Operating entities only need to submit materials once, and 6 departments will conduct joint review and approval and promote them simultaneously.
Next, Yunnan Province (云南省) will adhere to promoting work with evaluation. "The Provincial Development and Reform Commission (省发改委) is continuously collecting clues that violate the negative list, conducting identification, case removal, effectiveness summary, and 'look back,' and including situations such as 'should be removed but not removed,' improper rectification, and repeated setting of barriers in the overall evaluation," the staff said.

Currently, China has become the country with the largest number of artificial intelligence patents globally, with the core artificial intelligence industry scale nearing 600 billion yuan and the number of enterprises exceeding 4,700. It is predicted that by 2035, China's artificial intelligence industry scale is expected to reach 1.73 trillion yuan, accounting for 30.6% of the global market, with huge market growth potential.
Artificial intelligence technology is accelerating its integration into various industries, bringing about strong demand for talent recruitment. Relevant reports from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security show that, according to estimates, China's current artificial intelligence talent gap exceeds 5 million, with a supply-demand ratio of 1:10. In the first quarter of this year, data from the Zhaopin Recruitment platform showed that recruitment demand for algorithm engineers and machine learning positions increased by 44% and 18% year-on-year, respectively.
What kind of artificial intelligence talent do companies need now? Which technical skills are more "popular"? The reporter conducted interviews.
Not long ago, at a job fair at the School of Science and Technology of Renmin University of China (中国人民大学), the booths of companies such as Tencent (腾讯), JD.com (京东), and ByteDance (字节跳动) were crowded with people. After participating in the job fair, Li Kang (李康), a student majoring in artificial intelligence, lamented: "Companies not only examine the coding ability of applicants, but also value the ability to solve practical problems. We not only need to master theoretical knowledge, but also accumulate practical experience."
"Algorithm engineers, large model technology researchers, etc. are becoming popular positions," said Luo Haibo (罗海波), head of recruitment at Tencent Group (腾讯集团). "We hope to create 'AI closest to the industry'. With the implementation of large models in industries such as finance and healthcare, there is a need for more compound talents who are proficient in artificial intelligence technology and understand specific industries."
In Yantai City (烟台市), Shandong Province (山东省), in the workshop of Aidi Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. (艾迪精密机械股份有限公司), system development engineers are installing sensors on CNC machine tools. Yang Shuiqing (杨水清), head of the company's human resources department, introduced that the company is strengthening its layout in high-end equipment manufacturing fields such as hydraulic components and industrial robots, and needs a large number of intelligent manufacturing talents. This year, it has opened more than 300 related positions, focusing on recruiting college graduates majoring in mechatronics, software engineering, and automation control.
Optimizing production processes through AI algorithms, using smart energy systems to reduce energy consumption, upgrading the "technical brain" to improve production efficiency... Shuanglu Battery (双鹿电池) actively embraces intelligent manufacturing and has achieved a series of significant results. "The company is deeply promoting intelligent transformation, and the desire for intelligent manufacturing talents is becoming stronger. We are increasing training and recruitment efforts through school-enterprise cooperation and internal 'digital craftsman' training, and plan to increase the proportion of intelligent manufacturing talents from 9% to 20% within the next 3 years," said Wu Jing (吴静), the company's administrative president.

In Jixian County (集贤县), Shuangyashan City (双鸭山市), Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省), Zhang Lijun (张立军) still remembers the grid member, Man Tianyi (满天一), who helped his family with everything.
At that time, Zhang Lijun (张立军) and his wife were working in other places for a long time, and their daughter had been living with her grandmother. Due to the lack of information and carelessness, they missed the school registration time for their child, and the whole family was in a panic.
After grid member Man Tianyi (满天一) visited and understood the situation, he immediately provided door-to-door service, helped prepare materials overnight, and repeatedly coordinated with the education department, finally securing a green channel for the child to enroll in school. "If it weren't for Xiao Man (小满) running around, the child would have been delayed for a year in school." Whenever he talks about this, Zhang Lijun (张立军) is always full of gratitude.
In recent years, in the land of Longjiang (龙江大地), a warm transformation concerning "grids" is quietly taking place. These "grids" distributed in urban and rural areas, like capillaries, penetrate into the social fabric, extending the service tentacles of Party organizations to thousands of households.
From the Grid to the Heart
The Tentacles of Party Organizations Extend to the Grassroots
In the early morning, in Qingwang Community (庆旺社区), Daqing Street (大庆街道), Aiming District (爱民区), Mudanjiang City (牡丹江市), grid member Wang Jingying (王晶莹) knocked on the door of Li Yunrong (李云荣), an elderly person living alone. The bamboo basket Wang Jingying (王晶莹) brought contained eggs and dumplings. The zongzi also carried the fragrance of zong leaves. The old man tremblingly accepted this "family-like concern," and his happiness was beyond words.
In Qingwang Community (庆旺社区), such heartwarming scenes are constantly being staged. This structure, composed of "community Party organization - grid Party branch - Party member center household," allows the warmth of the Party to permeate every corner.
"With the Party organization built on the grid, the tentacles of service are constantly extending downward." Yu Jie (于洁), Secretary of the Qingwang Community (庆旺社区) Party Committee, introduced that under the leadership of the Party organization, the community Party committee meticulously divides the key areas such as schools and commercial blocks into grids, and deeply carries out the "micro-wish" volunteer service. Community Party member center households and grid volunteer also formed 29 pairs to help elderly people living alone, providing loving assistance, benefiting more than 600 people.
"Practice has proved that from the grid to the heart, the key to achieving the transformation from tangible coverage to effective coverage lies in strengthening the Party organization and effectively playing the role of overall coordination, so that organizational advantages can be continuously transformed into governance effectiveness," said a relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee (黑龙江省委组织部).
Today, with the in-depth development of the Party building-led grid management service improvement action, 94,000 grid Party organizations in Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江) have woven a dense network, constructing an organizational structure of "community (village) Party organization - grid Party branch (Party group) - Party member center household," and the Party's organization is constantly extending to grids, communities, buildings, and parks.
In Fuyuan Community (福源小区), Huanan County (桦南县), Jiamusi City (佳木斯市), the night used to be pitch black. As a result, a resident's complaint was quickly passed to the Party building joint meeting through the grid.
In April of this year, at the Party building joint meeting held in the community, community cadres, grid members, co-construction units stationed in the area, and resident representatives gathered together to brainstorm ideas. Everyone spoke their minds, and the Rural Commercial Bank took the initiative to sponsor the purchase of lighting equipment, and the Fuxiang Property Party organization in the jurisdiction stated that it would send staff to cooperate with the construction...
Forty-eight hours later, 12 street lights illuminated every corner of the community. "Walking in the dark used to be nerve-wracking, but now that the street lights are on, my heart is also bright!" Resident Wang Xuewei's (王学伟) remarks expressed the masses' recognition of grid governance.
From One Person One Grid to Multi-Party Co-Governance
Resources and Strengths are Continuously Sinking to the Grid
Because of integration into the grid, Zhang Qingshu (张青恕), the captain of the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Suihua Public Security Bureau (绥化市公安局经侦支队), has an additional identity as a "professional grid member."
In the past two years, Suihua City (绥化市) has explored the work of "all police officers sinking and entering the grid," and more than 7,800 police officers and auxiliary police officers from the city and county-level public security organs have all sunk into the community.
"Police officers entering the grid, contracting buildings and doors, and wholeheartedly handling affairs have brought the police and the people closer together." Zhang Qingshu (张青恕) said, "Everyone is also willing to chat with us, and this chat has revealed a lot of clues."
During a visit to the Lanshanyuanzhu Community (蓝山原著小区), "There are often strangers wearing masks appearing near the garage, sneaking around and not looking like good people," a resident jokingly told Zhang Qingshu (张青恕). Not daring to be careless, Zhang Qingshu (张青恕) conducted an in-depth visit and learned that items had been stolen from residents' cars. Based on this, relevant departments of the Municipal Bureau cracked five series of theft cases.
There are a total of 29,000 such sinking forces in the grid. The province's 94,000 grids have broken down the division of departments and regions, combining Party building, political and legal affairs, and comprehensive management into one, promoting the entry of professionals from 11 types of people's livelihood departments into the grid to provide services, realizing the transformation from "one person one grid" to "multi-party co-governance."
Walking into the Sanfu Sandao Street (三辅三道街) characteristic creative block in Hongqi Street (红旗街道), Xiangfang District (香坊区), Harbin City (哈尔滨市), the artistic characters "Leave Your Heart in Xiangfang (把心留在香坊)" are eye-catching on the red brick wall. Behind the log-colored resting benches, playfully shaped street lights "grow" on the branches of the hand-painted wall.
"This used to be a stinky garbage transfer point." Zu Yongyi (祖永毅), a resident of Sanfu Sandao Street (三辅三道街), said. The beautiful transformation of the garbage point is inseparable from the help of Han Mengqi (韩梦琪), director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau of Xiangfang District (香坊区文旅局).
"We are not here to 'visit,' but to solve problems with professional knowledge." As a Party member who "reported" to the community grid, Han Mengqi (韩梦琪) worked with grid members to design and promote the "micro-transformation" of urban space, building artistic leisure spaces for residents. Since last year, Xiangfang District (香坊区) has built a total of 24 characteristic cultural and creative blocks.
Today, more and more resources and strengths are converging on the grid. On the basis of fully equipping 254,000 full-time, part-time, and professional grid members, Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省) has innovatively promoted the normalized mechanism of "double reporting and double service" for Party organizations and employed Party members in government offices, with 249,000 Party members from government agencies sinking into the grid, extending the tentacles of professional services to the doorsteps of the people.
From People's Livelihood Matters to Major Development Plans
"Small Grids" Promote the Improvement of Grassroots Governance Quality and Efficiency
The "Grid Deliberation Meeting" in Qianjin District (前进区), Jiamusi City (佳木斯市) is always full of life.
During last year's grid centralized deliberation activity, Xie Yanxia (谢艳霞), a resident of the Shanshangrenjia Community (山上人家小区) in Qianjin District (前进区), complained in front of Xiao Wumin (肖武民), a member of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee: "I have to spend more than half an hour finding a parking space every day after get off work."
What she didn't expect was that this District Party Committee Standing Committee "grid member" took out a notebook to record on the spot, and two weeks later, he brought planners to conduct on-site surveys. Today, "adding public parking spaces" has also been included in Jiamusi's (佳木斯) 2025 people's livelihood facts. Jiamusi City (佳木斯市) has added and re-marked more than 5,000 public parking spaces in areas with high parking demand by efficiently utilizing urban public space.
Small things connect people's hearts, and grids communicate people's feelings. In recent years, Jiamusi City (佳木斯市)-level leaders have taken the lead, and 571 county-level leading cadres have entered the grid, reporting the problems found at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee every quarter to ensure the formation of a closed loop of work from item acceptance to archiving and cancellation.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Jiamusi Municipal Party Committee (佳木斯市委组织部), this activity has promoted the solution of more than 5,400 difficult and blocked problems at the grassroots level. On this basis, the municipal level focuses on transforming high-frequency grid matters into important references for government decision-making, and more than 30 opinions such as the improvement of property service quality and efficiency have been included in the Municipal Party Committee's "Tackling Action" to achieve a governance upgrade of "solving one thing and doing a good job in one type of thing."
Not only to ensure people's livelihood, but also to release development vitality, Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省) is striving to make the grid a "booster" for economic and social development.
In Qiqihar City (齐齐哈尔市), 10,500 rural grids are helping the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. As the first secretary of Shuangyang Village (双阳村), Yian County (依安县), stationed by the Provincial Department of Education, Zhao Yongqiang (赵永强) relied on the grid to contract households, visit streets and households, guide villagers to understand the goose industry, explore the goose breeding model, and persuade villagers to join the cooperative.
"Compared with raising them at home, joining the breeding cooperative established in the village can sell each goose for 10 yuan more!" Under the leadership of Zhao Yongqiang (赵永强), more than 300 households in the village followed suit and raised geese, which can increase the village collective's income by more than 875,000 yuan per year.
Today, Yian County (依安县) understands public opinion through the establishment of a grid deliberation mechanism, comprehensively promotes the development model of "Party organization + new agricultural business entity," establishes 218 cooperatives, integrates more than 1.4 million mu of land, and drives more than 38,000 villagers to participate. At the same time, it has created 56 characteristic professional villages such as planting, breeding, and processing, igniting the hope of industrial revitalization.
From cities to villages, from people's livelihood to development, happiness grows in the grid. Today, with the in-depth development of a series of measures such as the "Thousand Talents Action," "Ten Thousand Talents Plan," and "Group-Style Aid to Border Action" to help the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, 23,200 cadres and talents sink into the grid with technology, funds, and ideas to serve the masses, so that "public opinion is grasped in the grid, contradictions and disputes are resolved in the grid, development synergy is gathered in the grid, and mass satisfaction is achieved in the grid," a happiness network covering tens of millions of people is accelerating its weaving.

In the in-depth implementation of the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation (中央八项规定) through study and education, some localities are focusing on prominent issues such as "lack of responsibility and inaction, buck-passing" in typical cases, and introducing relevant measures to encourage cadres to take responsibility and act.
In reality, "lack of responsibility and inaction" manifests in various forms, and engaging in "fake gestures" is one of them. A few party member cadres appear busy but do not solve practical problems. Some put the original intention of serving the people on the shelf and transform their responsibilities into mechanical "check-in procedures"; some adhere to the negative philosophy of "the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make," treating their positions as "official positions" and their responsibilities as "burdens," only showing "Tai Chi push hands" in their work and rarely showing "assault fists"; some shout slogans loudly and make high-profile statements, but there is no action, or the action is slow... These practices of engaging in "fake gestures" are both a loosening and decline of the sense of purpose and a variant manifestation of formalism and bureaucracy, which run counter to the requirements of cadres taking responsibility in the new era.
What is more worthy of vigilance is that the harm of this unhealthy trend should not be underestimated and has deep transmission. For personal development, the "boiling frog" style of slackness will gradually dissolve the spirit of enterprise and allow work ability to "rust" in the comfort zone; for organizational construction, if there is a lack of a scientific and reasonable assessment and evaluation system, the "inaction" of a few people cannot be corrected, which may trigger the "broken window effect," leading to the sweat of those who work hard not being recognized and the perfunctory attitude of "fake gestures" not being punished, thus forming a bad ecology of "inferior coins driving out good coins"; for the relationship between the party and the masses, the inaction and slow action of cadres directly damage the credibility of the party and the government, build an invisible "wall of hearts" between cadres and the masses, and hinder the implementation of the party's pro-people policies in the "last mile."
Compared with the "Buddhist" and "lying flat" phenomena, "fake gestures" have a certain degree of deceptiveness and concealment. Faced with arduous and heavy tasks of reform, development, and stability, only talking without practicing will only lead to mistakes, and only genuine hard work can bring hope. This requires creating a good atmosphere to encourage cadres to take responsibility and act, and eradicating the soil that breeds "fake gestures."
First, build a scientific and effective institutional support. Improving the assessment and evaluation mechanism is the key, and it is necessary to establish a three-dimensional assessment system that looks at both "visible achievements" and "potential achievements," both "current achievements" and "long-term benefits," to accurately portray the work effectiveness of cadres in reform and tackling key problems, grassroots governance, and people's livelihood security, and link the assessment results with promotion, evaluation, rewards, and punishments, so that those who are capable have positions, those who are capable can be promoted, and those who are excellent have priority. At the same time, adhere to the combination of strict management and deep love, resolutely adjust cadres who occupy positions but do not act and bypass problems, tolerate and correct mistakes for cadres who take risks and break barriers in the deep-water area of reform, and truly form a virtuous cycle of "the capable go up, the mediocre go down, and the inferior are eliminated," so that doing practical work and starting a business become the distinct background of the cadre team.
Second, continuously consolidate the ideological foundation. Ideal and belief are the spiritual backbone of party member cadres, and we must start from this "main switch" to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the vitality, and stimulate the internal driving force of true responsibility and true action from the depths of our thoughts. The current study and education is to guide the vast number of cadres to constantly cultivate and refine the "mind learning" of communists, integrate the spiritual realm of "achieving success does not necessarily have to be me" with the historical responsibility of "achieving success must have me" into the blood, and let "the great road is simple, and practical work is essential" become a conscious action.
The success or failure of a cause depends on people. As long as the scientific assessment baton accurately identifies "true action" and "fake gestures," and at the same time firmly establishes the ambition to take responsibility and enhances the ability to act, takes the initiative in the face of opportunities, and faces difficulties head-on, the vast number of cadres can dare to take responsibility and be good at acting in the new era and on the new journey, and write a historical answer worthy of the party and the people with practical work.
Return to Top"Because of greed, I went from a respected doctor to a despised sinner, lost my Party membership, tarnished the title of 'angel in white,' and destroyed my own happy family..." Recently, at the trial site of the Beibei District People's Court (北碚区人民法院) in Chongqing (重庆), Xie (谢), the former director of the Beibei District Mental Health Center (北碚区精神卫生中心), covered his face in repentance.
In February 2024, the Beibei District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision (北碚区纪委监委) received a real-name report from the public, reflecting Xie's (谢) violation of regulations by collecting and embezzling drug quality保证金 from pharmaceutical companies. Investigators found that there was no legal basis for collecting such保证金, and the center's accounts had neither a drug quality保证金 item nor related revenue and expenditure records.
The question of "where the funds went is a mystery" directly pointed to the key to the investigation.
"Start with the pharmaceutical companies to break through!" Investigators retrieved work ledgers and conducted multiple rounds of interviews with pharmaceutical companies that had paid the保证金. As the investigation deepened, clues gradually surfaced.
Investigators found that Xie (谢) and some pharmaceutical companies used the name of "保证金" to curry favor, and there were large amounts of personal funds exchanged between them. His behavior was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. After mastering conclusive evidence, the District Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision (区纪委监委) filed a case for review and investigation against Xie (谢).
Faced with policy appeals, disciplinary and legal deterrence, and conclusive evidence, Xie (谢) truthfully confessed to the facts of privately setting up a "small treasury" in the name of collecting drug quality保证金 and using his position to seek benefits for pharmaceutical companies by supplying drugs. Ultimately, Xie (谢) was expelled from the Party and removed from public office, and transferred to judicial organs to be held criminally responsible.
[Disciplinary Enforcer Says] Collecting drug quality保证金 under false pretenses and engaging in power-money transactions with pharmaceutical companies violates both integrity discipline and the bottom line of the law, seriously damaging people's livelihood and public health rights. This case warns the vast number of Party members and cadres, especially those in the medical field: they must take this as a warning, be honest and self-disciplined, persistently implement the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation (中央八项规定精神), promote the systematic governance of problems in the medical field, and truly allow the people to "run less errands, spend less money, and see a doctor well."

A howling gale and torrential rain battered a large tree that had grown for decades, shaking it violently in the wind. At 11 p.m., with a loud "bang," the tree trunk, as thick as a bowl, was snapped by the gale and crashed directly onto the roof of Long Qirong's house, a villager in Longjing Village (龙井村), Qingyan Town (青岩镇), Huaxi District (花溪区), Guiyang City (贵阳市), Guizhou Province (贵州省), scattering tiles everywhere.
In this critical moment, Long Qirong dialed the hotline of the Longjing Village (龙井村) property management team. The next morning, six team members quickly arrived at the scene, first using ropes to lift the tree trunk, then sawing it into small pieces and clearing it away, before repairing the damaged tiles one by one. This 6-hour emergency repair, during which the team members didn't drink a drop of water from the villagers or ask for a single penny, became a vivid portrayal of Qingyan Town's (青岩镇) "Party building leading property management into the village."
It is common to see property management in urban communities, but property management entering villages is indeed a novelty.
In recent years, rural infrastructure has been continuously improved, but it faces problems such as a lack of professional strength and management vacancies. Coupled with the limited number of village cadres and tight funding, grassroots organizations are often overwhelmed in infrastructure management and maintenance.
How to solve the governance problem of "emphasizing construction over management, only building but not managing"?
"We have drawn on the experience of urban community property management, adhered to Party building leadership, taken public welfare services as the core, explored market-oriented operation paths, and promoted the 'property management into the village, service to the home' governance model in accordance with local conditions, which not only reduces the burden on the grassroots but also alleviates financial pressure," said Liu Haifeng (刘海峰), Secretary of the Qingyan Town (青岩镇) Party Committee, revealing the solution.
In 2023, Qingyan Town (青岩镇) took the lead in launching pilot projects for the construction of property management teams in Longjing Village (龙井村) and Shanwangmiao Village (山王庙村), promoting the strengthening and solidifying of the teams and their standardized operation through Party members taking the lead and the participation of various forces. "We have integrated various forces to form property management teams, effectively solving the problem of village cadres' scattered management energy," introduced Long Deguo (龙德国), Secretary of the Party Branch of Longjing Village (龙井村). The team leader is recommended and selected by the village's "two committees" (村两委), usually by veteran Party members or reserve cadres, giving full play to the exemplary role of Party members. The captain of the Longjing Village (龙井村) property management team is a young Party member who returned to his hometown to start a business.
Passing through the antique archway of Longjing Village (龙井村), Buyi ethnic architecture with small green tiles, sloping roofs, and latticed windows stand along the street, including the farmhouse run by villager Chen Feiyan (陈飞燕). Last December, the small green tiles on the roof of her house needed renovation. After contacting the village property management team, the work was completed smoothly within a week.
Chen Feiyan (陈飞燕) calculated the costs: "If I hired a construction team from the market myself, the materials and labor would cost at least 10,000 yuan, and the construction period would be long. The property management team has a clear service list, and the free and paid items are clear at a glance. The charges are much lower than the market price. This renovation only cost more than 7,000 yuan in total, which is really cost-effective!"
In order to ensure the sustainable operation of the property management team, Qingyan Town (青岩镇) uses town financial subsidies and village collective operating income as basic funding, and has formulated a list of free services and a list of paid services. Part of the service income is used for team business training and equipment security, promoting the development of services towards specialization, standardization, and branding.
Long Qichuan (龙启川), 60 years old, is a mud worker in Longjing Village (龙井村). After joining the property management team in 2023, he often provides free repair services to villagers in his spare time. With his down-to-earth work attitude and superb craftsmanship, he has won more and more service orders.
"The friendship of the villagers is more important than making money, and even for paid services, the charges are far lower than the market price." Long Qichuan (龙启川) did not expect that he could still use his expertise and be full of energy in the recognition of the villagers.
"Making money is not the ultimate goal. The key is to implement practical things that benefit the people and warm their hearts on the premise of ensuring the long-term operation of the property management team, and to win the trust of the masses with high-cost performance services," introduced Long Deguo (龙德国).
Today, all 16 villages in Qingyan Town (青岩镇) have established property management teams, driving the average annual income of team members to increase by 12,000 yuan, and achieving zero complaints about mass services. "The property management team is a mobile governance vanguard!" Liu Haifeng (刘海峰) said, "While doing a good job in serving our own villages, we actively guide each team to develop differently according to actual conditions, expand the scope of paid services to the entire town, ensure the standardized operation of the teams, and make every effort to explore a new path of Party building leading rural governance, so that the countryside is more harmonious and beautiful."

That day, our whole family ate out. This restaurant had Beijing (北京) douzhi (fermented mung bean milk), and I couldn't resist ordering a bowl. My little grandson asked curiously, "Grandpa, is douzhi delicious?"
"Why don't you try a bowl too?"
"He might not like it. Let him try it first. I can't stand the taste..." Grandma shook her head.
The douzhi arrived. My little grandson's first time drinking douzhi became the focus of attention for the whole family, and his mother couldn't help but raise her phone to take a picture. The little grandson took a small sip, neither grimacing nor smiling and nodding, but just said, "It's alright—"
"Grandpa, you guys grew up drinking this stuff? It must have been tough." My little grandson is in the second grade of elementary school this year, but he speaks like a little adult.
"This is a snack, not a meal. Consider it a kind of drink," I said.
"You had so few snacks when you were little that douzhi became a drink?" the little grandson said.
I laughed, "There were quite a few snacks, but you probably haven't even heard of the snacks we ate..."
The little grandson didn't speak. I didn't speak either. I knew he wanted to hear, but the little grandson pretended to be reserved and just looked at me. After waiting for a while, the little grandson finally opened his mouth: "Grandpa, tell me quickly—"
"Did you eat pitted dates?" I asked.
The little grandson nodded, "Pitted, dried, very crispy and sweet."
"Do you know where the date pits went?"
"Thrown away, or used as fertilizer..." the little grandson replied.
I gestured with my hand, "When the date pits are removed from the dates with a tool, the two ends still have a little bit of pulp. The vendors would dry them and sell them for a penny a handful. We used to eat them as snacks when we were little..."
The little grandson stared wide-eyed, as if listening to Grandpa telling a science fiction story.
I continued, "When the cannery makes canned apples, they have to peel them. Where did the apple peels go?"
"Did they dry them and sell them too?"
"Yes! I ate semi-dried apple peels when I was little. That was also a snack..."
Grandma said, "I've seen that, but I haven't eaten it. We ate popcorn, Jiangmi sticks, peanuts, melon seeds, and hutu paste."
"What is hutu paste?" the little grandson asked.
"It's hawthorn berries cooked into a paste," Grandma replied.
I said, "What you're talking about are snacks that only children from wealthy families could afford..."
Grandma laughed, "Your pocket money was all spent on renting comic books. Where would you get the money to buy snacks?"
"Boys love to read books, girls love to eat snacks," I nodded.
"That's not necessarily true." Grandma realized she had trapped herself.
"Did the teachers care if you ate snacks?" the little grandson suddenly asked.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered a small incident related to snacks. It was a long time ago.
I went to elementary school in the 1950s. At that time, I was a fourth-grade student, and my homeroom teacher was Teacher Guan (关老师). She was so good to the students. In the first grade, some students couldn't help but call her Mom.
One afternoon, during a class meeting, Teacher Guan said, "Students, I'm going to take a survey. Please raise your hand if you ate snacks on the way to or from school this week."
The students were stunned and looked at each other. Teacher Guan said, "The snacks I'm talking about are the ones bought from small shops and stalls on the roadside."
Almost all the students raised their hands. Only Chen Yanping (陈燕平), a boy sitting in the first row, did not raise his hand.
The teacher told everyone to put their hands down.
"Students, eating snacks not only wastes money, but can also make you sick. I suggest that everyone eat fewer or no snacks. Today, I want to praise Chen Yanping..."
Chen Yanping was not tall and was the best student in the class, but his family was also the poorest in the class. His father had passed away, and his mother lived with him in a house converted from a doorway, making a living by sewing and mending for others. Teacher Guan often praised him...
A voice rang out: "Chen Yanping's family doesn't have money, so he doesn't eat snacks!" It was Song Duoduo (宋多多), the class troublemaker, who spoke. Everyone laughed.
Teacher Guan shook her head and didn't say anything.
A week passed, and when we had another class meeting, the number of people eating snacks had indeed decreased. Teacher Guan's words had really worked.
That afternoon, Teacher Guan was telling the students the story of the hero Dong Cunrui (董存瑞) when she heard someone knocking on the door. It turned out to be two uncles from the reception room standing at the door with a large basket. They used a washbasin filled with apricots and handed them to Teacher Guan, saying, "This is for your class."
"Where are the apricots from?" Teacher Guan asked.
"From the big apricot tree in our school—"
My school had a small courtyard after entering the gate, and then a second gate. After entering the second gate, there was the playground and classrooms. The gate was a circular arch, and on one side of the arch was a large apricot tree. In the summer, the apricot tree was full of apricots. But not a single student would touch them. Everyone knew that it was the school's apricot tree...
Now the apricots from the big apricot tree had been harvested, and each class received a washbasin full of apricots. The students couldn't help but cheer.
Teacher Guan looked at the washbasin, then looked up at everyone and said, "Everyone come to the front and take two apricots. There are 35 students in our class, so that should be about right."
We started to distribute the apricots. The apricots were big and beautiful, and their meaning was also different. Each apricot seemed to contain our own protection and sweat.
In a short while, the washbasin was empty, with only 5 apricots left.
"How should these few be divided?" Teacher Guan looked at everyone.
"Teacher Guan doesn't have any yet?"
Teacher Guan smiled and picked up two apricots and put them aside.
There were still 3 apricots left in the washbasin, and everyone didn't know what to do.
Song Duoduo suddenly shouted loudly, "Give them to Chen Yanping! His family doesn't have money to buy snacks..."
Teacher Guan looked at Chen Yanping, "Is that okay?"
Chen Yanping shook his head, his lips tightly pursed.
Song Duoduo shouted loudly, "Chen Yanping, hurry up and take them!"
Chen Yanping stood up from his seat and said, "I can't take them. My mom told me that people can be without money, people can be without good food and clothing, but people cannot be without dignity..."
The classroom suddenly became quiet.
…………
Although this matter is not big and has been going on for decades, it always lingers in my mind. Now, should I tell my little grandson about this? Will he like to listen? Will he understand...?

I often think about what Lu Xun (鲁迅) said in "What We Should Do as Fathers Now": "Awakened parents should be completely obligatory, altruistic, and sacrificial, which is not easy to do; and it is especially not easy to do in China." Through my own practice, I have come to understand that what supports "obligation" and "altruism" is a sense of responsibility. Educating a child may be like opening a blind box; you never know what the future educational outcome will be. The only thing you can do now is to do your best to fulfill your responsibilities. The connotation of education should also be an active transmission of a sense of responsibility.
Having worked on children's literature at my desk for a long time, no matter how much theory and works I read, without in-depth practice, talking about children's growth is actually just empty talk. Only by accompanying a child's growth throughout the entire process can one truly understand the difficulty of being a parent and the true meaning of education.
A few days ago, my child had his 18th birthday, and my blessing to him was "Have responsibility in your heart, and move towards the light" (心中有责，向光而行), hoping that he would keep "responsibility" firmly in his heart as he becomes an adult at 18, and at the same time, continue to maintain the sunny and confident appearance of a teenager after adulthood.
Love and companionship are the soul of education, and the premise is that educators must first have light in their hearts. When adults "move towards the light," children can follow and rush to the distance with the light. When people tend towards utilitarianism in education, the joy of children's growth and the original meaning of education are unconsciously obscured. Facing the children around them, if parents are in anxiety and harshness towards their children, they may unintentionally affect their children. Ellen Key, a Swedish educator, once said: "The primary duty of education is to create a beautiful world in the hearts and outside of children, and then let them grow up in it." Nowadays, material living conditions and educational resources are becoming more and more developed, but adults often feel helpless when trying to create a "beautiful world" for children on a spiritual level. Many problems in current children's education stem from this.
Children's literature is literature that helps children grow, and it is also literature that leads the transformation of social views on children. Stories often grow out of life. For example, Zuo Xuan (左昡)'s "My World" tells the story of a boy, Zhang Yuan (张原), who came to Beijing (北京) during the summer vacation to spend his 10th summer with his delivery driver parents, growing up with the hardworking, down-to-earth, capable, and tolerant delivery team. On the basis of a comprehensive and profound understanding of society, the child draws optimistic and upward life energy from his parents and gains the spirit of "dare to think, dare to do; dare to do, can do" (敢想，就敢干；敢干，就能干). This is a vivid example of labor practice education.
Let children receive education in life, and let education take root and sprout in life. Parents and children explore the fun of life together, which is the direction that creative education should pursue. For example, Wu Jian (伍剑)'s "Grandma" starts with the daily life of grandma accompanying the child's growth, starts with the food culture of three meals a day, and uses family affection to guide the child to cultivate a positive sense of life, writing a warm and beautiful life aesthetic.
Children's growth is the most touching and joyful thing in the world, and countless families are blooming with countless beautiful pictures. For children's literature workers, they should pay attention to the physical and mental growth of children in the first scene of education and life, and write more excellent works that children love with the dual value concern of science and humanity.

The New Legend of Horse Judging
In ancient times, there was Bole (伯乐) who judged horses; now, there is also Le Bo (乐伯) who judges horses. Le Bo is a descendant of Bole. Based on this alone, he could become a master horse judge. However, even though he is a descendant of Bole, he does not agree with his ancestor's set of horse-judging techniques, believing that Bole's methods are long outdated.
Bole judged horses by only looking at the horses, but for Le Bo, he doesn't need to look at the horses at all to judge them.
One day, a horse racing competition invited Le Bo to select horses. Le Bo, wearing smart glasses, walked into the racecourse, neither going to the stables nor looking at the horses. He went straight to the horse records room, pulled up each horse's pedigree certificate, nutritionist resume, and social media follower count, and also had his assistant scan the racecourse's QR code to retrieve the forage import customs declaration.
"This horse 'Treading Snow' (踏雪) best meets the requirements of a thoroughbred," Le Bo pointed to the holographic projection, "Back then, my great-grandfather once took a fancy to its five-generation ancestor, and the horse owner is even a director of a listed company. The number of topics on Douyin has already exceeded 100 million. If it's not it, who else could be the thoroughbred in this competition?"
On the day of the competition, "Treading Snow" (踏雪), which Le Bo called a thoroughbred, neighed anxiously at the starting line—no wonder, all these years, it has been staying in a constant-temperature stable, its hooves studded with碎钻, living a leisurely life, and has long forgotten how to run.
Thorns and Flowers
The flower asked the thorn, "On the road to success, do you hope there are more of me, or more of you?"
"Everyone hopes there are more of you!" said the thorn, "But in fact, I will always be more than you!"
The Taste of Tears
Sweat looked at tears in confusion and said, "It's strange, sometimes I find you are sweet, but sometimes I find you are salty. I don't understand, are you sweet or salty?"
"To tell you the truth, I can't say what taste I am myself," Tears honestly replied, "However, one thing is certain, I am sweet when the master is happy, and I am salty when the master is in pain."
The Road Underfoot
The young man followed his father to the deep mountains and old forests. Seeing that the surroundings were steep slopes, he couldn't help but frown and asked his father, "After searching for a long time, why can't I find a road to walk on? Where is the road?"
"If you stand still, even if there is a road in front of you, it is the same as no road," the father pointed to the young man's feet and said, "Only when you take a step will you find that there are roads everywhere around you."

It's been nearly 10 years since I retired from "Children's Literature" magazine, and I've heard the same sentence on many occasions: "I grew up reading 'Children's Literature'." Hearing everyone say this always warms my heart; a magazine instantly shortens the distance between hearts. "Children's Literature" empathizes with generations of children and is a shared memory of generations. Now, in my heart, there are not only generations of writers and one shining work after another, but also generations of readers. Below are a few unforgettable stories of me and young readers.
A Torn Magazine Opened a Door
When I first joined "Children's Literature," I was in the editorial department looking at submissions from the public. One day, among a pile of reader submissions and letters, I found a tattered copy of "Children's Literature." Clearly, this magazine had been read by countless people and had even been taken apart and rebound. Attached was a letter, the gist of which was that they were a rural elementary school that had established a literary interest group two years ago. Because they didn't have money, the whole school only subscribed to one copy of "Children's Literature." Every time the magazine arrived, the teacher would tear the book into individual articles and distribute them to the students to read. This month, they somehow lost an article. They sent back the magazine to see if the editorial department could replace it with a new one for preservation.
This letter caused a great stir in the editorial department. The leaders immediately decided to send 10 copies of each new issue every month and establish a review point at the school. It was from this point that "Children's Literature" implemented "open-door publishing" and has continued to do so to this day. After this incident, we successively established multiple review points in Beijing (北京) and the Renqiu Oilfield (任丘油田). The first letter came from Xianghe County Chengguan Middle School (香河县城关中学) (later renamed Xianghe County No. 9 Middle School (香河县第九中学)), not far from Beijing (北京). From then on, this school maintained contact with "Children's Literature" for many years, and editors often took turns going to the school to directly listen to readers' opinions, pioneering a new style of editing for the magazine.
A Doggerel Made the Magazine Find Its "Roots"
During the more than 20 years that I served as editor-in-chief of "Children's Literature," I always attached great importance to reader work. At my suggestion, the magazine set up many small columns to open up positions for children of different levels, giving all children the opportunity to appear in "Children's Literature." From then on, "Children's Literature" was no longer mysterious and became a confidante magazine for children. The editorial department received many letters from readers every day. I remember one reader wrote a doggerel: "Children's Literature, Children's Literature, I love you, like a mouse loves rice, I won't leave you, I won't abandon you, I'll use dedicated loyalty to torment you." When I saw it, I immediately attached a poem: "Reader, reader, I love you, like a small grass loves the earth, I won't leave you, I won't abandon you, I'll use green to decorate you." I published the two doggerels in the small column "You Come, I Go" in the magazine, which attracted even more letters from readers. At that time, we used small columns such as "Three-Place Book" (三地书), "You Come, I Go" (你来我往), and "Pen Pal Flying Goose" (笔友飞鸿) to allow editors to interact closely with readers, shorten the distance between the magazine and readers, and be able to hear readers' opinions and suggestions in a timely manner. We have been running the "Children's Literature" novel competition for many years, and the most important thing is reader voting. I have always believed that the magazine is the seedling, and the reader is the soil. Only by rooting in this fertile soil of readers can the magazine always be full of vitality.
An Inspiration from a Letter from a Young Reader
I usually like to read letters from readers. Those sincere childish words are full of frankness, vitality, and childlike innocence. Reading these letters is like seeing crystal-clear hearts. Their letters not only allow me to de-stress from the heavy editing work, but also give me inspiration, and even help me find ways to continuously improve and enhance the quality of the magazine and keep pace with the times. For example, a little boy wrote in a letter: "I am usually very active, and I can only calm down when I read 'Children's Literature.' I can't even hear my mother calling me to eat." His words shocked me and led me to think: What is the most valuable quality of a magazine? How to let children achieve "immersive reading"? How to balance the unity of "literary quality" and "readability"? How to make "Children's Literature" truly achieve what we pursue: "This magazine is suitable for citizens aged 9-99," so that it is suitable for both the old and the young, and both elegant and popular? It is precisely under the continuous inspiration and encouragement of readers that "Children's Literature" has made continuous progress.
After being an editor of "Children's Literature" for a lifetime, the sentence that I have the deepest understanding of is: "Children" and "Literature" are the two wings of children's literature. Cherish literature, and cherish children even more.
