Tibet Vigorously Develops Plateau-Characteristic Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Industries (Striving to be First, Decisively Winning the "14th Five-Year Plan")

By: 本报记者 袁 泉 徐驭尧

In Gyantse County (江孜县), Shigatse (日喀则市), Tibet (西藏), a young Tibetan man named Sonam Qunpei (索朗群培) is making highland barley bread in a small street shop. "Highland barley can be made into many varieties, and the most popular in the shop is highland barley popcorn." Behind Sonam Qunpei (索朗群培) are dazzling highland barley processed foods.

In the past two years, Gyantse County (江孜县) has focused on developing the intensive processing of highland barley—from traditional biscuits, noodles, and canned wine to new categories such as Babao porridge, bread, and popcorn. The highland barley industry has gradually developed into a pillar industry for strengthening the county and enriching the people. In 2024, the output value of the highland barley industry in Gyantse County (江孜县) reached 148 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 66%.

In July 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out during his inspection in Tibet (西藏): "We must implement the central Party Committee's policies to support the development of Tibet (西藏) and comprehensively promote rural revitalization."

Thoroughly implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important instructions, Tibet (西藏) adheres to a people-centered development philosophy, bases itself on resource endowments, promotes the high-quality development of plateau characteristic agricultural and livestock industries, and injects strong impetus into comprehensive rural revitalization and increased income for the people. In 2024, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in Tibet (西藏) reached 21,578 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.3%, which is 1.7 percentage points higher than the national average.

The industrial system is increasingly improved—

In Bomi County (波密县), Nyingchi (林芝市), the deep-processed products of gastrodia elata sell well; in Zogang County (左贡县), Chamdo (昌都市), products such as walnut oil are popular... Agricultural products from all over Tibet (西藏) are emerging from the plateau in new forms, opening up broader markets.

Mêdog County (墨脱县), the last county in the country to have road access, now has a tea industry that "spreads its fragrance far and wide." In the planting stage, 103 tea gardens have been built, covering 39 established villages in 6 townships, with a total area of 19,000 mu; in the processing stage, 11 tea processing plants and 22 production and packaging lines have been built, and the existing equipment can process about 40,000 jin of fresh tea leaves per day under full load conditions; in the circulation stage, sales outlets for Mêdog (墨脱) tea have gradually opened in Lhasa (拉萨), Chengdu (成都), and other places...

"From 'growing a good tea' to 'developing a tea industry,' the Mêdog (墨脱) tea industry has great potential!" said Fu Yongbo (符永波), member of the Standing Committee of the Nyingchi Municipal Party Committee (林芝市委) and Secretary of the Mêdog County Party Committee (墨脱县委).

The scientific and technological content is constantly improving—

In the western suburbs of Lhasa (拉萨市), in the laboratory of the Tibet Autonomous Region Academy of Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Sciences (西藏自治区农牧科学院), researchers are analyzing the feeding and growth of yaks. "In the long-term alpine environment, yaks grow slowly and have a long breeding cycle." Basang Wangdui (巴桑旺堆), Vice President and Researcher of the Tibet Academy of Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Sciences (西藏农牧科学院), introduced that the academy has been continuously carrying out research on the improvement of yak breeds and breeding methods in recent years. "Now, at the Gesangtang Yak Breeding Demonstration Site (格桑塘牦牛养殖示范点) in Lhünzhub County (林周县), Lhasa (拉萨市), the average age of yaks leaving the pen has been advanced by 2 to 3 years, and the breeding efficiency has continued to increase."

In order to promote the high-quality development of plateau characteristic agricultural and livestock industries, Tibet (西藏) has established three industrial technology systems for highland barley, yak, and pasture, and continuously strengthened scientific research. In 2024, Tibet (西藏) selected and dispatched 10,656 science and technology commissioners to conduct training and popular science publicity on advanced and applicable agricultural and animal husbandry technologies, carry out more than 40,000 activities, serve 330,000 people, and strive to effectively transform scientific and technological achievements.

The benefits to the people continue to increase—

In Cona County (措美县), Shannan (山南市), Purbu Tenzin (普布旦增), the general person in charge of breeding at Tibet Yeban Bees Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd. (西藏夜伴蜂声文化旅游发展有限公司), led several beekeepers to a row of beehives to guide them on how to collect honey. "We have driven more than 6,200 farmers and herdsmen to increase their income, with an average annual increase of about 1,400 yuan per household." Purbu Tenzin (普布旦增) introduced that the company's beehives are currently distributed in 10 counties and districts in Lhasa (拉萨), Shannan (山南), Shigatse (日喀则), and other places.

Today, more and more such good projects that benefit the people and increase income are taking root in the plateau. Shigatse (日喀则市) is implementing high-standard farmland construction projects to achieve the goals of promoting income increase for farmers and herdsmen and ensuring food security. Since 2024, this project has driven local people to increase their income by 57.26 million yuan.

By tapping into income increase potential through project promotion and employment, Tibet (西藏) continues to broaden the channels for farmers and herdsmen to increase their income. In 2024, the per capita net income of the poverty-stricken population in Tibet (西藏) increased by more than 12.5%.

"Bearing in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) instructions and implementing the central Party Committee's policies to support the development of Tibet (西藏), we will continue to increase our efforts to transform the advantages of the high-quality development of plateau characteristic agricultural and livestock industries into a surging impetus for comprehensive rural revitalization." Wang Junzheng (王君正), Secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region Party Committee (西藏自治区党委书记), said that it is necessary to further emphasize extending the chain to promote income increase on the industrial chain, emphasize improving skills and expanding channels in employment, and emphasize strengthening linkages with farmers to increase benefits in enterprises, so as to ensure the continuous and stable income increase of farmers and herdsmen.

Xi Jinping and Myanmar Leader Min Aung Hlaing Exchange Congratulatory Messages on the 75th Anniversary of China-Myanmar Diplomatic Relations

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 8th. On June 8th, President Xi Jinping (习近平) and Myanmar leader Min Aung Hlaing (敏昂莱) exchanged congratulatory messages to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Myanmar.

Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that over the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the "Pauk-Phaw" (胞波) friendship between China and Myanmar has withstood the test of time and grown stronger. Both sides have adhered to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the Bandung Spirit jointly advocated, persisted in good-neighborly friendship, deepened mutually beneficial cooperation, and firmly supported each other on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns, setting a model for friendly exchanges between countries.

Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that in May of this year, he and you met in Russia and reached important consensus on promoting the building of a China-Myanmar community with a shared future. China attaches great importance to the development of China-Myanmar relations and is willing to work with Myanmar to take the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries as an opportunity to accelerate the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" cooperation, jointly implement the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, and promote the building of a China-Myanmar community with a shared future to a deeper and more solid level, bringing more benefits to the people of both countries.

Min Aung Hlaing (敏昂莱) said that Your Excellency President's historic visit to Myanmar in 2020 opened a new chapter in building a Myanmar-China community with a shared future. Recently, Myanmar suffered a strong earthquake, and the Chinese government and people provided timely humanitarian assistance, fully demonstrating the deep friendship between the two peoples of sharing weal and woe and helping each other (守望相助 (shǒu wàng xiāng zhù - "keep watch and help each other," mutual assistance and support)). I had a fruitful meeting with Your Excellency President in Moscow and reached an important consensus on deepening Myanmar-China strategic cooperation. I thank China for its firm support for Myanmar in achieving peace and stability, national reconciliation, and economic development, and look forward to accelerating cooperation between the two countries in various fields to create a stronger, more resilient, and mutually beneficial partnership.

On the same day, Premier of the State Council Li Qiang (李强) and Min Aung Hlaing (敏昂莱) exchanged congratulatory messages.

I am willing to work with you to deepen the comprehensive strategic cooperation between the two countries, promote the building of a China-Myanmar community with a shared future to a deeper and more solid level, and inject new impetus into the development of our respective countries. Min Aung Hlaing (敏昂莱) said that under the guidance of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, Myanmar-China relations have steadily moved forward. Myanmar is willing to work with China to jointly promote the building of a Myanmar-China community with a shared future, so as to better benefit the people of both countries.

Reduced reporting requirements, freeing up hands and feet (Persevering in implementing the Central Eight-Point Regulation: First-hand observations from the front lines)

"Just need to mail the enrollment certificate to the village committee, nothing else?" Zhao Hongying (赵红英) asked with some skepticism after hanging up the phone.

Zhao Hongying's (赵红英) family lives in Houdian Village (后甸村), Yulu Bai Ethnic Township (雨露白族乡), Nanhua County (南华县), Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture (楚雄彝族自治州), Yunnan Province (云南省). Last year, she was admitted to a vocational school and applied for the "Rain and Dew Program" subsidy. She had to fill out application forms, obtain enrollment certificates, photocopy her ID card and social security card, and the village committee had to issue a verification letter. The village collected all the forms and submitted them to the township, waiting for the Nanhua County (南华县) Education and Sports Bureau and the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau to complete the approval. "It took a whole month, and almost half of the semester had passed."

This year is different. Application forms are uploaded as photos, and approvals are done online, completed in just one week.

"Thanks to 'Yun Biao Tong' (云表通)!" said Zhao Honglan (赵红兰), deputy director of the Houdian Village (后甸村) Village Committee.

In September last year, Nanhua County (南华县) was selected as a pilot for data empowerment "Yun Biao Tong" (云表通) by the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee Organization Department (云南省委组织部) in conjunction with the Yunnan Provincial Data Bureau (云南省数据局), realizing "one-time filling of basic-level data, and one-library generation of high-frequency reports."

In the past, this bureau wanted it, that bureau wanted it, this department wanted it, that department wanted it... "I had just sat down by the fire pit at a villager's home when the phone rang urging me to submit the report!" said Zhao Honglan (赵红兰).

"The higher-ups just ask, and the lower levels run their legs off." Dong Xuerui (董学瑞), executive deputy minister of the Nanhua County (南华县) Party Committee Organization Department, analyzed, "When urged urgently, the quality of basic-level data is not optimistic: the more urgent, the higher the estimated proportion."

The most direct change is the reduction in the number of forms to fill out. "The average number of reports submitted by village cadres per week has decreased from 21 to 1!" said Zhao Honglan (赵红兰).

With the help of the "Yun Biao Tong" (云表通) system, Nanhua County (南华县) integrated the number of reports and the items to be filled out, reducing the number of reports from 1,326 to about 320 sets, less than 1/4 of the original number, and reducing the number of items to be filled out from 14,200 to about 4,500.

The forms are easier to fill out now. Zhao Honglan (赵红兰) took out a small notebook, "In the past, each form system had independent username and password requirements. Basic-level cadres were afraid of forgetting them, so they made a special 'password book'."

Now, after cadres log in to the platform, entering their name can automatically bring up their ID number and contact phone number, which saves time and reduces errors.

The forms are no longer issued randomly. Asking for forms offline is not as good as asking for data online. Why? Asking for forms requires reporting to the county for approval, which is troublesome; the system automatically generates data when checking forms, which saves trouble!

Nanhua County (南华县) issued the "Yun Biao Tong" (云表通) Platform Basic-Level Report Access Management Standard, strictly implementing the public reporting of randomly issued reports and the department application and special team approval system, realizing "all reports that should be issued are issued, and those not approved are prohibited from being issued" and "reporting abuse and refusing to fill out randomly issued reports."

"'Morning issuance and evening request' reports have been eliminated. When faced with random actions, basic-level cadres can also report them, and the county will issue a notice," said Dong Xuerui (董学瑞).

Most importantly, the forms are easier to use.

Take the "Statistics Table on Monitoring and Dynamic Management of Preventing Return to Poverty and Providing Assistance" as an example. In the past, the filling and reporting had to be done by villages, townships, and counties on a monthly basis, and it took at least one week to summarize it at the county level.

"Now, villages and townships only need to maintain relevant ledgers, and the forms are automatically generated. After data comparison and review by the Nanhua County (南华县) Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, they are reported to the Chuxiong Prefecture (楚雄州) Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, which only takes one day," said Zhao Honglan (赵红兰).

This year on Mother's Day, the Nanhua County (南华县) Women's Federation obtained 20 "Mother's Parcel" funding quotas from the Chuxiong Prefecture (楚雄州) Women's Federation, specifically for comforting elderly women in Longchuan Town (龙川镇) who are sick, disabled, and applying for subsistence allowances. In the past, it had to be screened and reported level by level by the county and township, which would take at least a week; this year, the list was obtained in one day through system screening and verification by basic-level cadres.

"'Yun Biao Tong' (云表通) has reduced the burden on the basic level, allowing cadres to free their hands and feet and provide better services to the masses," said Dong Xuerui (董学瑞).

Having planted ginseng for more than 30 years, Du Tianjun (杜田军), an "old hand," never imagined that he could "patrol the mountains" without leaving his home.

"In the past, I had to wear out several pairs of shoes every year to patrol the mountains." Du Tianjun (杜田军) lightly taps his mobile phone, and the situation of the ginseng field 5 kilometers away is clear at a glance, even the stems of the ginseng are clearly visible.

"Not only can we monitor remotely, but the integrated sensors configured in the field can also analyze soil, air and other conditions, which is convenient for standardized ginseng planting and management." Wang Meng (王猛), deputy director of the Ginseng Industry Development Service Center of Tonghua County (通化县), Jilin Province (吉林省), introduced that at the end of last year, Tonghua County (通化县) launched the construction of electronic fences for ginseng planting bases, and improved the network communication, electricity and other infrastructure of some ginseng fields.

In February of this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized when listening to the work reports of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee (吉林省委) and the Provincial Government (省政府): "We must comprehensively plan the urban and rural spatial layout, industrial development, public services, and infrastructure construction, promote the integrated development of industrial revitalization, county strengthening, and people enrichment, and promote common prosperity in urban and rural areas."

Tonghua County (通化县) is located in the Changbai Mountains (长白山脉), with vast forests, suitable for planting ginseng. In recent years, Tonghua County (通化县) has adapted to local conditions and vigorously built a full-chain system of ginseng planting, processing, and sales, promoted the integrated development of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, and effectively promoted the integrated development of urban and rural areas.

Consolidate the foundation and promote the improvement of ginseng planting in quality and quantity.

Good forest, good seeds, and good ginseng cultivation - this is Du Tianjun's (杜田军) experience.

To cultivate good forests, Tonghua County (通化县) conducted a comprehensive survey of suitable ginseng forest land, limited the core production areas, rationally utilized resources, improved the standards of good forests, and realized the sustainable development of the industry.

To select good seeds, Tonghua County (通化县) carried out the "protection, cultivation, propagation and promotion" of under-forest wild ginseng germplasm resources, built high-standard protection and cultivation bases for under-forest wild ginseng seedlings, and promoted standardized ginseng planting.

"Eat dry and squeeze clean," intensive processing releases value-added potential.

Crushing, grinding, purification, freezing... In the production workshop of Jilin Xinye Health Industry Development Co., Ltd. (吉林鑫业健康产业发展有限公司), under-forest wild ginseng is processed into ginseng freeze-dried tablets.

"In the past, making ginseng slices had low technical content. Transforming and upgrading, we have moved from rough processing to 'fine work'." Zhang Jiaqiu (张家秋), the person in charge of the company, said.

From selling raw materials to selling products, Tonghua County (通化县) has introduced scientific research teams and cultivated leading enterprises to promote the extension and efficiency of the ginseng industry chain. At present, there are more than 1,100 ginseng processing enterprises in the county, and more than 600 kinds of ginseng intensive processing products in five major series of ginseng medicines, beverages, health products, cosmetics, and food have been developed.

Strengthen market supervision, strengthen standard construction, and actively enhance the brand value of ginseng.

"Each under-forest wild ginseng has its own 'ID card'!" In a shop located in the Kuai Da Ginseng Industrial Park (快大人参产业园) in Tonghua (通化), shop owner Zhang Chuanhua (张传花) picked up a packaged ginseng, "The prices are clearly marked according to different categories, years, grades, etc."

In recent years, Tonghua County (通化县) has continued to increase market supervision and integrity system construction, strengthen the whole process supervision, strengthen quality inspection and testing, promote "one ginseng one code", and continuously enhance the brand value of ginseng.

In 2024, the total output value of the entire ginseng industry chain in Tonghua County (通化县) was 15.027 billion yuan, an increase of 126% year-on-year.

"We will anchor the goal of 'increasing the output of the primary industry, improving the quality of the secondary industry, and expanding the sales of the tertiary industry' in the ginseng industry, promote the standardization, standardization, and systematization of the industry, and promote the integrated development of industrial revitalization, county strengthening, and people enrichment with the ginseng industry." Said Ding Degui (丁德贵), Secretary of the Tonghua County Party Committee (通化县委书记).

Revenue of industrial enterprises above designated size in national high-tech zones increased by 7.3% in the first four months.

How can the new central enterprise do a good job in resource recycling? (Economic New Orientation)

By: 本报记者 李心萍

On June 5th, after the report "How to Buy and Sell Used Mobile Phones with More Peace of Mind" was published in this edition, some readers were concerned: If you don't want to sell idle old mobile phones, are there reliable disposal channels? A reporter from this newspaper learned that China Resources Recycling Group (中国资源循环集团) has gradually established a mobile phone safety recycling and disposal system. Having been established for just over half a year, what work has this "national team," primarily responsible for resource recycling, carried out? What will it do next? Let us get closer to this young central enterprise and find out.

——Editor

In recent days, China Resources Recycling Group (hereinafter referred to as "China Recycling Group" (中国资环集团)) has been making continuous moves:

On April 22, China Resources New Energy Technology Company (中国资环新能源科技公司) was established in Nanjing (南京), Jiangsu (江苏); on April 23, China Resources Green Fiber Company (中国资环绿色纤维公司) was established in Wuxi (无锡), Jiangsu (江苏); on April 25, China Resources Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. (华润环保科技有限公司) announced its change of name to China Resources Recycling Group Green Investment Co., Ltd. (中国资环集团绿色投资有限公司); on April 27, China Resources Nonferrous Metals Investment Company (中国资环有色金属投资公司) was unveiled in Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江)...

Why establish a new central enterprise?

Restructuring and integrating related assets and businesses such as renewable resources.

On October 18, 2024, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) was officially established in Tianjin (天津), with the company primarily responsible for resource recycling.

How was a new central enterprise established?

Information shows that China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) has a registered capital of 10 billion yuan, jointly funded by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委) and five enterprises: China Baowu (中国宝武), China Petrochemical (中国石化), China Resources Group (华润集团), Aluminum Corporation of China (中国铝业), and China Minmetals (中国五矿). The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委) performs the duties of investor on behalf of the State Council. Among them, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委), China Baowu (中国宝武), China Petrochemical (中国石化), and China Resources Group (华润集团) each hold 20% of the shares, while Aluminum Corporation of China (中国铝业) and China Minmetals (中国五矿) each hold 10%.

Observing the shareholders of China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团), in addition to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委), the enterprises all have huge solid waste disposal needs and originally had related renewable resource businesses. In the early stage of its establishment, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) mainly consisted of the renewable resource businesses of related central enterprises. China Resources Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. (华润环保科技有限公司) under China Resources Group (华润集团) and Ouye Chain Gold Renewable Resources Co., Ltd. (欧冶链金再生资源有限公司) under China Baowu (中国宝武) announced their merger into China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) after its establishment.

The main businesses of China Resources Environmental Protection (华润环保) include the resource utilization of waste textiles, the development and management of carbon assets, and alternative fuel businesses. Its "Runzhi Shou" (润智收) project has covered more than 300 cities, serving 70,000 members, and has cumulatively recycled more than 500,000 pieces of old textiles and clothing. Ouye Chain Gold (欧冶链金) mainly engages in the recycling and processing of waste steel, gradually extending to automobile dismantling and recycled nonferrous metals. In 2024, its waste steel business scale exceeded 37 million tons.

Subsequently, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) also integrated related assets from central enterprises such as Xinyuan Jinwu (新源劲吾) under State Power Investment Corporation (国家电投), Boyuan Environmental Protection (博源环保) under China Nonferrous Metal Mining Group (中国有色集团), and China Energy Conservation Ecology (中节能生态) under China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (中国节能).

"The establishment process of China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) reflects the idea of cross-industry collaborative integration," said Liu Yu (刘宇), Chairman of China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团). In the future, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) will marketize the restructuring and integration of related assets and businesses of state-owned central enterprises, becoming a comprehensive solution provider integrating warehousing, processing, distribution, trade-in, and standard setting output.

China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) is just a microcosm of the specialized integration of central enterprises. In recent years, the pace of specialized integration of central enterprises has been accelerating.

In 2024, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委) integrated the advantageous resources of central and local governments to establish China Digital United Logistics Information Co., Ltd. (中国数联物流信息有限公司), completed the resource integration of Adora Cruises (爱达邮轮公司), promoted China FAW (中国一汽) and other automobile companies to hold China Chengtong Lingshen Qingdao (中国诚通力神青岛), and organized and promoted the centralized signing of 12 key projects in important fields such as artificial intelligence and quantum information.

Lin Qingmiao (林庆苗), Director of the Enterprise Reform Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委企业改革局局长), introduced that this year, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委) will continue to establish new companies, increase efforts to promote strategic restructuring, and enhance the status and role of central enterprises in important industries and industries. At the same time, it will promote specialized integration in depth, integrate advantageous resources, reduce intra-industry competition, and create a good ecological environment for industrial development.

What are the business explorations?

Carry out the recycling and utilization of decommissioned photovoltaic modules and build a mobile phone safety recycling and disposal system.

What explorations has China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) carried out in the more than half a year since its establishment?

On April 24, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) announced that the world's first full-color micro-layer equipment production line was launched for installation and commissioning in Shenzhen (深圳), taking a key step in the field of high-value recycling and utilization of decommissioned photovoltaic modules.

At present, China has become the world's largest producer of photovoltaic modules and the largest application country for photovoltaic power generation. According to forecasts by the International Renewable Energy Agency, China will begin to produce large quantities of decommissioned photovoltaic modules this year. By 2030, the scale of photovoltaic module decommissioning will reach 1.7 million tons, and by 2050, it will reach 20 million tons.

"Our technology can transform all types of photovoltaic modules into full-color optoelectronic functional materials, which can be integrated into application scenarios such as urban landscapes and building exterior walls to achieve the unified function of application display and self-power generation," Liu Yu (刘宇) introduced. For example, the photovoltaic curtain wall of the Datong Future Energy Museum (大同未来能源馆) uses full-color optoelectronic functional materials, which not only retain the power generation function, but also can display brilliant light and shadow effects through the floodlighting system at night.

In addition to decommissioned photovoltaic modules, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) is also gradually establishing a mobile phone safety recycling and disposal system.

Relying on the mobile phone safety recycling and disposal model, since April 3, consumers in provincial capital cities can place orders through the "Xin Sui Wu You" (芯碎无忧) mini program, and can choose either on-site crushing services or confidential recycling by mail.

After the mobile phones are recycled to the Guiyu (贵屿) disposal base in Shantou (汕头), Guangdong (广东), they undergo safe dismantling, mechanical crushing, and terminal smelting in a confidential workshop, ultimately achieving safe destruction of the mobile phones. The entire process is visual, monitorable, and traceable. At the same time, the optimized technical route of the Guiyu (贵屿) pyrometallurgical project can be used to extract rare and precious metals.

On April 18, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) convened a business promotion conference on the occasion of its half-year anniversary, announcing the establishment of 9 subsidiaries, with business scopes covering batteries, motor vehicles, equipment assets, plastic recycling, green technology, etc., basically covering the key areas of China's circular economy.

"Next, we will focus on smoothing the resource recycling chain, expand the mobile phone safety recycling and disposal model to the entire field of electronic appliances such as computers and hard drives, and form a waste electronic appliance terminal resource recycling and reuse platform and a waste electronic product tiered utilization trading platform nationwide," said Liu Yu (刘宇).

How much development space is there?

Will make full efforts in the fields of waste steel, waste electronic appliances, and waste power batteries.

Resource recycling has broad space and unlimited value.

The "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a Waste Recycling System" issued by the General Office of the State Council clearly proposes that by 2025, the annual utilization of major renewable resources such as waste steel, waste copper, waste aluminum, waste lead, waste zinc, waste paper, waste plastics, waste rubber, and waste glass will reach 450 million tons, and the annual output value of the resource recycling industry will reach 5 trillion yuan.

The China Renewable Resource Recycling Industry Development Report shows that in 2023, the total recycling volume of 10 types of renewable resources, including waste steel, waste nonferrous metals, waste plastics, waste paper, waste tires, waste electrical and electronic products, scrapped motor vehicles, waste textiles, waste glass, and waste batteries (excluding lead-acid batteries), was approximately 376 million tons.

Compared with the two, there is still a certain gap.

"As a new member of central enterprises, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) must enhance its core competitiveness, better ensure the security of national strategic resources, and help the high-quality development of the resource recycling industry," said Liu Yu (刘宇). Lin Qingmiao (林庆苗) said that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委) will guide China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) to use modern information technology to smooth the renewable resource recycling chain and help large-scale equipment renewal and consumer goods trade-in.

Expanding its fields, China Resources Recycling Group (中国资环集团) will make full efforts in the fields of waste steel, waste electronic appliances, waste power batteries, decommissioned new energy devices, scrapped motor vehicle dismantling, waste nonferrous metals, and waste plastics in the future, creating a number of leading enterprises and improving the scale and intensification of renewable resource recycling.

Promoting innovation, focusing on improving the green development level of the resource recycling and reuse industry. "We will explore and promote diversified and sustainable business model innovations such as 'Internet + recycling' and 'recycling + trade-in', improve the logistics system, give play to the guiding role of standards such as energy conservation, carbon reduction, environmental protection, safety, and circular utilization, promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the industry, and help the entire society to collect all waste that should be collected and use all that can be used," said Liu Yu (刘宇).

Gathering Positive Energy Online, Writing a New Chapter of Civilization

By: 本报记者 吴  焰  徐  靖

Building a shared spiritual home in cyberspace is a crucial question of our times. In recent years, Hefei (合肥), Anhui (安徽) has deeply studied and implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important thoughts on building a strong cyber nation, actively promoted the construction of cyber civilization, improved the cyber ecology, cleared the cyber space, and vigorously developed the cyber industry.

Expanding new fronts to make theoretical publicity more down-to-earth and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, residents of Ya Father Street (亚父街道), Chaohu City (巢湖市) watched a special performance at their doorstep - a theoretical publicity carefully presented by the "Listen Attentively" (洗耳恭听) publicity group of Chaohu City (巢湖市).

Young propagandist Gu Yilan (谷轶岚) started with the fragrance of zongzi, narrating the Dragon Boat Festival customs, national sentiments, and red history. Gu Yilan (谷轶岚) was quite excited about the first attempt to "build a stage with literature and art, and sing a theoretical drama": "The content is lively, the emotions are real, and the resonance is strong."

How to let the Party's innovative theories "fly into the homes of ordinary people"? In Hefei (合肥), there is a group of theoretical publicity groups like "Listen Attentively" (洗耳恭听), who combine theory with practice and are original, making theoretical publicity more down-to-earth and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In Baohe District (包河区), the Binhu Century Community (滨湖世纪社区) "Realize Dreams" (圆梦) grassroots theoretical publicity group uses short videos, live broadcasts, and other methods to create an online publicity front, with online views exceeding 8 million.

The Hefei Municipal Cyberspace Administration (合肥市委网信办) and Hefei Daily Media Group (合肥日报传媒集团) jointly created the original online commentary column "Wan Zhong Ping" (皖中评), expressing social hot topics in a "fast, accurate, and deep" manner, successfully achieving "breaking the circle."

Meng Qiang (孟强), a high school ideological and political teacher, has been following the new media video column "Li Xiang Hefei" (理响合肥), "telling big truths with small stories, short and interesting, and explaining the Party's innovative theories in an easy-to-understand way."

Hefei (合肥) innovatively launched theoretical short videos targeting the characteristics of different audiences, built a "Li Xiang Hefei" (理响合肥) theoretical communication matrix, and promoted the Party's innovative theories from offline to online, and from online to fingertips.

New technologies empower and accelerate the cultivation of new trends in cyber culture.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Youth Interactive Rule of Law Experience Hall. Here, we present a miniature version of the real courtroom..." Open the "Hefei Legal Publicity and Education Base VR Cloud Map" (合肥市法治宣传教育基地VR云地图), click on the icon, and you can visit 15 legal publicity and education base VR cloud exhibition halls in the city.

"We focus on smart legal popularization, using VR panorama, AI voice, etc., to move offline bases online." The relevant person in charge of the Hefei Municipal Bureau of Justice (合肥市司法局) introduced that you can also watch legal popularization movies online, play interactive games, and participate in legal popularization quizzes.

As a comprehensive national science center, Hefei (合肥) gives full play to its technological innovation advantages, relies on new technologies such as artificial intelligence, accelerates the deep integration of cultural services and digital technology, and accelerates the cultivation of new trends in cyber culture.

At the 21st China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair (中国（深圳）国际文化产业博览交易会) held not long ago, the "Magic Brush Ma Liang" (神笔马良) AI product of Hefei Anda Creation Exhibition Technology Co., Ltd. (合肥安达创展科技股份有限公司) attracted much attention. "We use AI to disassemble the creation steps, and use the technology chain of 'image recognition-logical reasoning-style generation' to generate themed works in real time from graffiti." The person in charge of the company introduced that they hope to stimulate young people's interest in exploring AI through this form.

Put on VR glasses and appreciate the thousands of mountains and rivers between virtuality and reality; walk into the smart theater and feel the pulse of culture in immersive storytelling... With the blessing of digital technology, the light of technology and the charm of culture are intertwined, deducing a wonderful chapter of cyber civilization.

Gathering all parties to promote coordinated online and offline governance.

After receiving a full refund, Yao Jie (姚杰), a resident of Amber Street (琥珀街道), Shushan District (蜀山区), gave the mediator a thumbs up.

In February of this year, Yao Jie (姚杰) paid a deposit of more than 10,000 yuan to join a company, but failed to sign a contract. In May, he reported the situation to the Diversified Dispute Resolution Center of the street. The center quickly entered the situation into the "Hehe Code" (和合码) platform for circulation and disposal. After receiving the case, the mediator communicated with both parties many times and finally facilitated a settlement.

"Hehe Code" (和合码) is a diversified conflict dispute control and resolution platform led by the Hefei Municipal Political and Legal Committee (合肥市委政法委), integrating mediation forces from various departments, levels, and types. Citizens can scan the QR code with their mobile phones or register directly at the street to achieve one-stop acceptance and full-chain solutions for their demands. As of May, the platform has successfully mediated 335,000 disputes, with a success rate of over 97%.

In recent years, Hefei (合肥) has actively promoted the coordinated online and offline linkage of comprehensive cyber governance and urban governance, gathering forces from all parties to promote the modernization of the governance system and governance capabilities.

Online, build a good cyber ecology -

Since last year, cyberspace administration, public security and other relevant departments have worked closely together to carry out 10 special rectification actions, such as "Qinglang: Rectifying the Problem of Undesirable Orientation of Short Video Information Content" ("清朗·整治短视频信息内容导向不良问题"), focusing on rectifying outstanding problems such as cyber violence, bullying, and rumors. Hefei (合肥) has also opened special reporting zones for enterprise-related infringement reports on the city's Internet illegal and bad information reporting platform and key commercial websites, and timely coordinates the disposal of enterprise-related infringement information to help enterprises develop healthily.

Offline, focus on innovating urban governance -

At the Traffic Command Center of the Traffic Police Detachment of the Hefei Municipal Public Security Bureau (合肥市公安局交警支队), an average of 180 million Internet traffic conditions and 18 million industry data are intertwined to form a network, building an urban traffic perception system. The "Traffic Super Brain" (交通超脑) of the command center dynamically adjusts signal timing through algorithms, achieving more than 300 kilometers of green wave roads, and the average driving speed of trunk lines is increased by 34.5%.

Integrating platforms and innovating methods, Hefei's (合肥) refined governance level continues to improve. The 12345 hotline realizes "**一口受理、一个平台、一网汇集**" (yī kǒu shòu lǐ, yī gè píng tái, yī wǎng huì jí - "one-stop acceptance, one platform, one network collection," meaning a unified and efficient system for handling public inquiries and complaints), accepting 5.07 million public demands in 2024, with a completion rate and on-time feedback rate of 100%.

Price wars are a dead end and have no future (Midnight Musings)

By: 祁嘉润

Recently, a certain car company took the lead in launching a large-scale price reduction campaign, and many companies followed suit, triggering a new round of "price war" panic.

The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (中国汽车工业协会), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部), and other organizations have successively voiced their opposition to this disorderly "price war."

Some people are puzzled: price reductions are voluntary for companies, and consumers can also benefit, so why oppose them?

Of course, it is a normal market phenomenon for car companies to reduce prices through innovation, quality improvement, cost reduction, and efficiency enhancement, which also benefits consumers and should be encouraged and supported. However, a disorderly "price war" is not conducive to the healthy and sustainable development of the automotive industry and will ultimately harm consumer rights.

From the industry perspective, the automotive industry cannot withstand the turmoil of a "price war."

Data shows that last year, China's automobile production and sales reached a record high, but the profit margin of the automotive industry was only 4.3%, which is lower than the level of the same period in 2023 and also lower than the profit margin of the entire downstream industry. Although price reductions have brought short-term sales growth, they have led to a decline in the profit margin of the automotive industry to a low level of less than 4%.

The automotive industry chain is long. Surrounding vehicle manufacturing, upstream are raw material supply, parts production, technology research and development, and other links, and downstream extends to sales, maintenance, and other fields. The entire industry is interconnected, and a disorderly "price war" squeezes the profit margins of all links in the chain, bringing an impact to the entire industry chain, and the vast number of practitioners face the risk of declining income.

From the consumer perspective, a disorderly "price war" will also harm consumers.

As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." When profits are repeatedly reduced, it is possible that individual companies may take risks when they are in financial difficulties: the standards for plates and parts are lowered, after-sales service begins to be perfunctory, and maintenance and repairs gradually become shoddy. Doing so will have a negative impact on the safety, quality, and service of products, seriously infringing on consumer rights.

In the long run, there is no way out and no future in fighting a "price war," this kind of "**内卷式**" (nèi juǎn shì - "involution," a situation where increased effort leads to diminishing returns) competition.

In recent years, China's automotive industry, especially new energy vehicles, has gone from following, running alongside, and then leading, relying on companies' persistent efforts to strengthen technology and build brands, and relying on the tireless efforts of industry workers.

When the reasonable profit margins of enterprises are compressed by the bottomless "price war," the funds invested in technology research and development and improving customer experience will inevitably decrease. When the foundations for survival, such as quality and service, are eroded, how can the automotive industry develop healthily and sustainably? How to maintain an advantage in the fierce global competition?

Everyone expects good cars with high quality and low prices, but if "high quality" is lost, "low price" will be meaningless.

Industrial, technological, and market advantages are the foundation of China's rapid automotive development. The road ahead will not always be smooth, but as long as we grasp the direction and move forward, the future of the automotive industry is promising.

Orchard Installs Rails, Making Uphill and Downhill Slopes Easier

By: 本报记者  李增辉  姜  峰

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, in Santuo Village (三沱村), Anping Town (安坪镇), Fengjie County (奉节县), Chongqing (重庆), lush navel orange trees cover the hillsides. Now is a crucial period for summer management of navel oranges. In the orchards, villagers are busy pruning the navel orange trees to improve ventilation and light penetration, and to regulate nutrient distribution, thereby improving fruit quality and yield.

Navel oranges are an important industry in Santuo Village (三沱村), with almost every household growing them. The mountains are high and the slopes are steep. In the past, transporting fertilizer uphill and fruit downhill relied on manual labor, which was time-consuming and laborious. "Since we have this vehicle, it's much easier for us to go up the mountain to manage the fruit trees and pick the fruit," said Chen Zhangtang (陈章堂), a 75-year-old villager, pointing to a vehicle on a track.

"This vehicle is called a rail transporter, and it can run on a dedicated track," Zhang Runfu (张润富), the inventor of the vehicle and a fruit farmer, told reporters. This type of vehicle can solve the problem of field transportation in hilly areas.

Anping Town (安坪镇) has more than 40,000 mu of navel oranges, and most of the orchards are located on slopes. "Whenever navel oranges are on the market in large quantities, the villagers carry them on their shoulders and backs, panting and gasping as they transport the navel oranges basket by basket from the orchard to the roadside at the foot of the mountain. It's very hard work," said Zhang Runfu (张润富).

Could a tool be developed to make it easier for fruit farmers to transport navel oranges? After having this idea, Zhang Runfu (张润富) repeatedly tested and adjusted the product, and it was finally successfully developed.

Santuo Village (三沱村), as the first pilot village, took the lead in laying 16 tracks with a total length of 2,100 meters. Because the tracks and transporters were included in the Fengjie County (奉节县) Smart Orchard Construction Project, the villagers did not have to spend a penny.

Zhang Yong (张勇), a major navel orange grower in the village, was one of the first beneficiaries. "In summer, we need to strengthen fertilizer and water management. The amount of fertilizer applied in the half month before pruning accounts for almost half of the total amount for the whole year," said Zhang Yong (张勇). In previous years, it took more than a dozen people to carry the fertilizer up the mountain slopes every day. Now, with the rail transporter in the orchard, one person can complete the transportation.

The upgraded transporter has added intelligent remote control systems and other equipment, and has the functions of identifying uphill and downhill slopes, automatically controlling driving speed, and intelligent obstacle avoidance. It was selected as an excellent case of national smart agriculture construction and was also listed by Chongqing (重庆) as a product for promoting agricultural machinery to address shortcomings. Currently, this type of transporter is used in 7 towns in Fengjie (奉节).

Regulating the Management of Blacklists for Seriously Dishonest Entities

This newspaper reported from Beijing on June 8th (Reporter Zhao Zhanhui (赵展慧)) Recently, the National Administration of Financial Regulation (金融监管总局) drafted the "Interim Provisions on the Management of Lists of Seriously Dishonest Entities (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)" (《关于严重失信主体名单管理的暂行规定（征求意见稿）》), and recently solicited public opinions from the society.

The draft for solicitation of comments contains 31 articles, which regulate the management of lists of seriously dishonest entities, use credit supervision methods to deter and curb illegal and irregular behaviors. The draft for solicitation of comments prudently defines the scope of inclusion in the list, clarifying that financial institutions and their employees, etc., who are subject to administrative penalties or regulatory mandatory measures by the National Administration of Financial Regulation (金融监管总局) or its dispatched agencies, and whose nature is particularly bad and the circumstances are particularly serious, and who seriously disrupt the order of fair market competition and the normal social order, will be included in the list of seriously dishonest entities.

The draft for solicitation of comments clarifies the management measures for seriously dishonest entities, strictly regulates the list management procedures, clarifies that entities included in the list for 3 years will be removed from the list and management measures will be lifted, and stipulates procedures such as prior notification and objection handling to fully protect the right to know and the right to defend of relevant entities. At the same time, a credit repair mechanism is established to encourage seriously dishonest entities to correct dishonest behaviors and eliminate adverse effects. Entities included in the list for 1 year can apply for early removal in accordance with regulations, and the conditions for early removal and the review period are clarified.

Cooperation Paints a Beautiful "Abundance" Scene (Private Enterprises "Going Global")

By: 本报记者  王  沛  窦瀚洋  张丹华

Opening Remarks

China's private enterprises have flourished alongside the great journey of reform and opening up. Over the past 40 years, China's private economy has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, taking root and growing in the domestic market, and setting sail in international competition and cooperation. Starting today, this newspaper will launch the column "Private Enterprises 'Going Global'," focusing on Chinese private enterprises that are "riding the wind and waves" in the sea of the world economy, and singing the strong voice of the era of opening up, cooperation, and mutual benefit.

Facing the high winds and rapid waves of the international market, Chinese private enterprises continue to move forward in their overseas endeavors, becoming the main force in promoting foreign trade growth. The latest data from the General Administration of Customs (海关总署) shows that private enterprises have maintained their position as China's largest foreign trade operator for six consecutive years.

In the agricultural field, Chinese private enterprises, with an attitude of cooperation and openness, are constantly enriching the forms of Sino-foreign agricultural cooperation, injecting new vitality into the global modernization and sustainable development of agriculture. This newspaper interviewed three private enterprises from Shandong, Zhejiang, and Shaanxi provinces, listening to private entrepreneurs tell their stories of setting sail overseas and achieving win-win cooperation.

Shandong Lisente Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. (山东利森特农业科技有限公司) –

R&D Customization Allows "Chinese Greenhouses" to Take Root in More Than 40 Countries Around the World

In Auckland (奥克兰), New Zealand (新西兰), thousands of miles away, technicians from Shandong Lisente Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. (山东利森特农业科技有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "Lisente Agriculture") are carrying out the foundation construction of a multi-span greenhouse. This modern greenhouse, covering an area of 5,000 square meters, is expected to become a landmark agricultural park in the area.

"We combine local characteristics, equip it with a thermal insulation system and soilless cultivation facilities, and use integrated water and fertilizer irrigation technology for leafy vegetable cultivation. It is expected to be completed and delivered in August this year. This is also the third batch of vegetable greenhouses we have built in New Zealand," said Wang Shoubo (王守波), chairman of the company. To date, the company has built 272 greenhouses in more than 40 countries, including Uzbekistan (乌兹别克斯坦) and Guinea (几内亚).

In 2023, Lisente Agriculture completed the construction of the Xianmeijian Farm (鲜美健农场) Karaka (卡拉卡) planting base project in New Zealand. "Currently, the project's 100 mu (亩) of greenhouses are planted with hydroponic vegetables such as lettuce and celery. With China's sustainable agricultural practices and innovative hydroponic planting technology, the farm won professional awards such as the New Zealand Agricultural Science Award this year. We are full of expectations for the subsequent operation of the project," said Peter (彼得), the head of the planting base.

Mukhand (穆可汉德) from Uzbekistan (乌兹别克斯坦) once studied in China. After returning to his country, he cooperated with Lisente Agriculture to lead the surrounding vegetable farmers to build "Chinese-style" vegetable greenhouses. "Chinese greenhouse technology has solved our vegetable growing problems. With the guidance of professional technicians, our tomato yield has increased by 40%," said Mukhand (穆可汉德).

"Uzbekistan (乌兹别克斯坦) is cold in winter and has a lot of wind and sand, so the requirements for wind and snow resistance and warmth are very high. The greenhouse is equipped with an internal shading system and an internal insulation system to reduce heat loss," Wang Shoubo (王守波) introduced. In the process of cooperating with Uzbek customers, the company also actively disseminates Chinese vegetable planting technology.

Wang Shoubo (王守波) told reporters that since 2017, the company has been developing and customizing greenhouse technology for different national climate characteristics, and has established more than 20 miniature "world greenhouse laboratories" in Shouguang (寿光) to simulate the climate scenarios of the Arabian Peninsula (阿拉伯半岛) sandy land, the Russian (俄罗斯) snowfield, etc., to ensure that each project passes accurate "pre-runs" before landing. Practice has proved that these projects have achieved good results in local use.

Today, more and more agricultural enterprises in Shouguang (寿光) are going overseas. According to incomplete statistics, more than 30 local enterprises and cooperatives have carried out foreign business in the agricultural field.

Zhejiang Sifang Group Co., Ltd. (浙江四方集团有限公司) –

"Small" is a Strength, Making Chinese-Made Agricultural Machinery Sell Well Overseas

Laser cutting machines rub against each other to create sparks, outlining the contours of steel plates; six-axis welding robots swing up and down, automatically positioning and precisely welding; on the fully automatic coating line, it only takes 45 minutes to complete the three-layer protective spraying of a single piece of equipment... In Jinhua (金华), Zhejiang (浙江), the assembly workshop of Zhejiang Sifang Group Co., Ltd. (浙江四方集团有限公司) is busy with production. One "Gongnong-12 (工农—12)" type walking tractor is off the production line, and after completing debugging, it will be packed and set off for Bangladesh (孟加拉国).

"Dear Mr. Gaman (加曼), 20 micro-tiller prototypes and this batch of orders have been sent together. We look forward to your feedback," Huang Weiwei (黄炜炜), manager of the company's import and export department, sent a message to the head of the Bangladeshi (孟加拉国) agent CBM company. After a while, the other party replied: "I'm so looking forward to it! Your products are of good quality and very popular. The farming season is coming soon, so please hurry up with the next batch of goods."

The company's walking tractors and other small agricultural machinery are very popular in overseas markets, especially among farmers in countries jointly building the "Belt and Road" (一带一路). "The agricultural production of many co-construction countries is still dominated by individual farmers. If we want to open up overseas markets, we must capture the hearts of local farmers, and 'small' is exactly our strength in manufacturing agricultural machinery," said Yu Feng (俞丰), chairman and general manager of the company, proudly.

"Now our agricultural machinery exported overseas has achieved 'small batches' and 'customization'," Huang Weiwei (黄炜炜) introduced many successful cases: in African countries such as Ethiopia (埃塞俄比亚), the screening system of the harvester is improved according to the characteristics of small wheat grains and high impurity content; in Indonesia (印度尼西亚), the track width of the crawler harvester is widened to improve the grounding specific pressure of the machine to adapt to the local softer soil; in Suriname (苏里南), an improved water circulation system diesel engine is launched to meet the local high-intensity work needs...

Not long ago, a "Zhejiang Agricultural Machinery Entering Africa" cloud exhibition was held in Yongkang (永康), Jinhua (金华). The event combined online and offline methods to achieve live broadcasts connecting multiple countries, selectively invited more than 100 African merchants, and accurately matched supply and demand. Madalena Mosi (马德莱娜·莫希), a Tanzanian (坦桑尼亚) student at Zhejiang Normal University (浙江师范大学), took a video of the product and sent it to her father, who is engaged in agricultural machinery business in her hometown. She told reporters that Chinese-made agricultural machinery is becoming more and more famous in Africa, and her father has close cooperation with many Chinese agricultural machinery manufacturers, and his business is getting better and better.

"In April this year, our social media accounts covering the African and Southeast Asian markets were launched. We will also go to Kenya (肯尼亚) to hold agricultural machinery training sessions to further expand the African market," said Huang Weiwei (黄炜炜). "It is the right time for private enterprises and private entrepreneurs to show their talents. The development of the country and the support of policies give us greater confidence and confidence in going overseas to open up markets."

Xi'an Aiju Grain and Oil Industry Group (西安爱菊粮油工业集团) –

Innovative Model Allows Chinese and Kazakh People to Share a "Delicious" Life

"Delicate taste," "good gluten," and "high cost performance"... At an exhibition held in North Kazakhstan (北哈州) recently, a local flour from Shaanxi (陕西) Xi'an Aiju Grain and Oil Industry Group (西安爱菊粮油工业集团) (hereinafter referred to as "Aiju Group") was selling well. In the Aiju Healthy Life Experience Hall (爱菊健康生活体验馆) in Xi'an Port District (西安港务区), China (中国), bowls of noodles made with Kazakh (哈萨克斯坦) flour were served on the table.

In December 2015, Aiju Group established an agricultural product processing and logistics park (农产品加工物流园区) (hereinafter referred to as "Aiju Park") in North Kazakhstan (北哈州). By setting up five major sections, including grain and oil production, storage and food processing, cattle and sheep breeding and beef and mutton processing, rural tourism, industrial technology services, and a Chinese commodity exhibition hall, it has formed a complete agricultural product supply chain service model. At present, the group's business has gradually radiated to Central Asian (中亚) countries and Russia (俄罗斯) and other markets, becoming a model enterprise for agricultural transnational cooperation.

Jia Heyi (贾合义), chairman of Aiju Group, introduced that the group, together with Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University (西北农林科技大学), Kazakh National University (哈萨克斯坦国立大学), and local farmers, adopts the method of "order agriculture, order acquisition" to guide local farmers on "what to plant and how much to plant," solving the local problem of "difficulty in selling grain." This model has achieved a win-win situation for all parties and has been unanimously welcomed by Kazakh (哈萨克斯坦) society. At present, the planting area of "order agriculture" has been promoted to 1.5 million mu (亩), and the crops planted include wheat, rapeseed, flaxseed, etc.

Through the China-Europe Railway Express "Chang'an" (中欧班列“长安号”), Aiju Group transports high-quality Kazakh (哈萨克斯坦) wheat and edible oil back to China (中国), effectively promoting Sino-Kazakh (中哈) trade and driving local farmers to increase employment and income. "In the past, our farming was 'extensive planting and low harvest'. Now Aiju Group not only guides us in planting, but also signs purchase contracts in advance, so we are not afraid that the grain will not be sold." "The planting area of our farm is constantly increasing, and the transportation and sales of agricultural products are guaranteed." Many farmers in North Kazakhstan (北哈州) praised this cooperation model.

"Here, I can get a generous salary every month, and my technical level has also been greatly improved." Serik (赛力克) has been working in Aiju Park (爱菊园区) for 8 years. When he first arrived at the rapeseed oil pressing workshop, he could not control the residual oil content of the rapeseed cake. Through training and learning, he gradually mastered the key to the pressing process: accurately controlling the temperature and moisture of the rapeseed. "Chinese companies are very pragmatic and pay attention to imparting skills and experience, which has benefited me a lot," said Serik (赛力克).

Formulating study abroad support plans for the children of Kazakh (哈萨克斯坦) employees, arranging for Kazakh (哈萨克斯坦) youth studying in China (中国) to work and study in the group on weekends and holidays, and providing skills training for Kazakh (哈萨克斯坦) youth who are interested... Aiju Group actively practices corporate responsibility and better takes root in the local market. "Going abroad is based on the needs of enterprise development, and more importantly, the 'Belt and Road' (一带一路) initiative has brought opportunities. By building agricultural product parks and implementing order agriculture, we have promoted the complementary production and sales of agriculture between China and Kazakhstan (中哈) and win-win cooperation," Jia Heyi (贾合义) emphasized that Aiju Group not only wants to "go out," but also to "integrate in" and promote people-to-people connectivity.

From the Loess Plateau (黄土高原) to the Central Asian (中亚) grasslands, Kazakh (哈萨克斯坦) agricultural products enter thousands of households in China (中国), and Chinese technology takes root and sprouts in the fields of Central Asia (中亚). Agricultural cooperation on the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" (一带一路) is writing a new era of "harvest concerto."

Contributing to a More Just, Equitable, and Inclusive Global Governance System (International Forum: Promoting the "Shanghai Spirit": The SCO in Action)

By: 哈立德·阿克拉姆

During its tenure as the rotating presidency, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) will continue to practice the "Shanghai Spirit," maintain regional security and stability in a complex and volatile international environment, and contribute to building a more just, reasonable, and inclusive global governance system.

Currently, the global geopolitical situation is undergoing profound changes, with various challenges emerging one after another. World peace and development require countries to work together to form a force that enhances stability and certainty. As an important multilateral cooperation platform in the Eurasian region, the SCO member states cover nearly half of the world's population, and their economic aggregate accounts for about 1/4 of the world's total. As one of the founding members of the SCO, China has proposed the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, which are highly consistent with the "Shanghai Spirit" of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and pursuit of common development.

China has provided important opportunities for SCO countries to strengthen economic cooperation, and continues to inject new vitality into this multilateral platform. China adheres to the principles of mutual trust and mutual benefit, and respect for diversity. By promoting the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, promoting the alignment of member states' development plans, and promoting the construction of infrastructure projects, it has provided assistance for strengthening regional connectivity. After more than 10 years of development, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (中巴经济走廊) has achieved important results. The corridor further expands Pakistan's long-term friendly relations with China into close cooperation in various fields such as hardware facilities, trade exchanges, and people-to-people exchanges. Not long ago, the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project was officially launched. This project will help Central Asian "landlocked countries" develop into Eurasian international trade hubs. Since China announced its support for the construction of the China-SCO Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone in 2018, the project has steadily advanced, attracting enterprises from various countries to participate in cooperation, and the scope of cooperation has continued to expand, helping all parties introduce more high-quality products and services into the Chinese market.

Such measures improve agricultural technology in various countries, enhance agricultural cooperation between countries, and contribute to the advancement of poverty reduction in various countries.

China is an important driving force for the continuous deepening of SCO security cooperation. Against the background of a rapidly changing global security environment, the SCO has achieved remarkable results in combating terrorism, extremism, and transnational organized crime. In recent years, China has promoted the strengthening of cyber security cooperation within the SCO framework, which meets the needs of all parties. The SCO's security cooperation model provides inspiration for promoting global security and stability, and also explores feasible solutions for dealing with new security threats such as cybercrime and cyber terrorism.

The SCO adheres to multilateralism and plays an important role in promoting regional development and improving global governance. During its tenure as the rotating presidency, the SCO will continue to practice the "Shanghai Spirit," maintain regional security and stability in a complex and volatile international environment, and contribute to building a more just, reasonable, and inclusive global governance system.

"Spontaneous China trips are generating anticipation."

By: 本报记者  管克江  任皓宇  张志文

On June 9, China's visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain officially came into effect. Including the UAE (阿联酋) and Qatar, Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) member states with which China has a comprehensive mutual visa exemption agreement since 2018, China has now achieved "full coverage" of visa-free access for Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries. People from all sectors of the Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries have stated that the visa-free policy will promote people-to-people exchanges between the Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries and China, and create a better future for China-Gulf relations.

Recently, China decided to expand the scope of visa-free countries and implement a trial visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain from June 9, 2025, to June 8, 2026. Citizens of the above four countries holding ordinary passports can enter China visa-free for business, tourism, sightseeing, visiting relatives and friends, exchange visits, or transit for no more than 30 days.

Aiedh Al-Yami (阿伊德·亚米), Director of the International Affairs Office of the Saudi Ministry of Investment, shared the relevant news on social media as soon as possible and said: "An 'impulse trip' to China is something to look forward to. I am very happy to see that Saudi-China relations are getting closer and closer, and cultural exchanges and personnel exchanges are becoming more convenient."

Ishaq Al-Azri (伊沙克·阿兹里), a professor in the Chinese Department of Sultan Qaboos University (卡布斯苏丹大学) in Oman, said that the Omani people generally welcome China's move, and it is foreseeable that the number of Omani entrepreneurs going to China for business activities will increase significantly. Cooperation in the tourism industry between the two sides will also be upgraded, and Omani tourists look forward to going to China to learn about China's long history and rich and colorful culture.

Sharbil Barkat (沙尔比勒·巴尔卡特), Director of the International Department of the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anba (《报章报》), believes that the visa-free policy will facilitate people from the Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries to travel to China and conduct business activities, and will also facilitate Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) research institutions to carry out exchanges and cooperation with Chinese scientific research institutions, and promote exchanges and mutual learning between the two sides in the humanities and other fields.

Jawad Al-Hawaj (贾瓦德·哈瓦吉), Chairman of the Bahrain-China Friendship Association, said that the visa-free policy provides an opportunity for Bahrain and China to deepen friendly cooperation. "The Bahrain-China Friendship Association will seize the opportunity to enhance non-governmental exchanges between Bahrain and China."

Bahraini economist Joachim Hussein (约希姆·侯赛因) said that the visa-free policy is an important measure for China to strengthen cooperation with the Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries, and will strongly promote mutual understanding and cultural exchanges between the people of both sides.

Abdulla Mattar (阿卜杜拉·玛塔尔), a well-known Emirati travel blogger, is in China participating in the "Hello China" UAE online celebrity tour of China organized by the Chinese Embassy in the UAE (中国驻阿联酋大使馆) and the UAE China Cultural Center (阿联酋中国文化中心). He said on social media that the visa-free policy "is a major benefit for tourists from the Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries, including the UAE (阿联酋), to travel to China. Now you only need to take your passport to go to China."

Kanoo Travel Group (卡努旅游集团), one of the largest tourism groups in the Gulf region, has continuously released four new routes, focusing on providing Chinese travel services to people in the Gulf countries such as the UAE (阿联酋), Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Naser Al Rais (哈维), CEO of Kanoo Travel Group (卡努旅游集团), said: "The visa-free policy creates new possibilities for deepening cooperation between the two sides. We will continue to play a bridging role to help personnel exchanges between the Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries and China, and between Arab countries and China."

Jassim Mahmoud (贾西姆·马哈茂德), the relevant person in charge of the Public Relations and Media Department of Qatar Tourism (卡塔尔旅游局), said that he looks forward to deepening tourism cooperation with more partners to promote further growth in the Qatar-China tourism market.

Kyle Deeb (凯尔·迪巴特), a professor at the College of International Relations at Qatar University (卡塔尔大学), said that the visa-free policy reflects China's willingness to strengthen cooperation with the Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries. Achieving "full coverage" of visa-free access to the Gulf Cooperation Council (海合会) countries will further promote the development of relations between the two sides, enhance people's friendship, and help promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

"China's high-level opening-up brings us more development opportunities"

By: 本报记者  徐 馨

The typical Scandinavian-style building with red tiled roofs, white walls, and exquisite dormer windows on the attic is the "home" of the Danish Chinese Business Association (hereinafter referred to as "Danish Chinese Business Association") in Copenhagen (哥本哈根). Here, the reporter met Hans Henrik Pontoppidan (汉斯·亨里克·蓬托皮丹), Secretary-General of the Danish Chinese Business Association. "This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Denmark and China. Looking back at the development of economic and trade exchanges between the two countries over the past 75 years, this historical moment is even more worth commemorating," Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) told reporters.

In 2005, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the business community jointly established the Danish Chinese Business Association to strengthen exchanges and understanding between the business communities of the two countries and promote trade and economic cooperation between Denmark and China. Over the past 20 years, the Danish Chinese Business Association has continuously organized high-level business mutual visits and business seminars, providing policy briefings and market analysis for the business communities of the two countries. "We provide a reliable communication platform for companies from both countries to exchange opinions and experiences on how to best enter each other's markets and ensure that relevant laws and regulations are complied with," Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) said.

In the late 1980s, Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) first went to Beijing (北京). From February 1989 to the end of 1993, Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) was responsible for the business of a Danish commercial bank in China and witnessed the rapid development of China's economy. "Especially in the past 20 years, the trade volume between Denmark and China has surged. The trade volume between the two countries during this period accounts for 95% of the total trade volume since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1950. From 2020 to 2024 alone, Denmark's net investment in China will be close to 13 billion Danish kroner (approximately 14.3 billion yuan)," Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) said.

After completing his overseas work and returning to Denmark, Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) worked in the financial industry for 15 years, and then joined the Danish Chinese Business Association, becoming the Secretary-General of the association... Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) has witnessed the continuous upgrading of cooperation between the two countries' enterprises: "This year is my tenth year as Secretary-General of the Chamber of Commerce. I have seen that the cooperation between the two sides has gradually matured, become increasingly targeted, technology-driven, and pay more attention to mutual benefit."

Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) cited an example, saying that in the field of sustainable development, Denmark and China have accumulated many successful experiences. For example, Danfoss (丹佛斯), a Danish company focusing on energy efficiency, climate solutions, and industrial automation, has achieved great success in helping China's data storage centers achieve waste heat recovery. "The success of Denmark and China's cooperation in the field of waste heat power generation inspires us that sharing advantages is the best way to jointly promote sustainable development," Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) said.

"China has made great progress in the past 20 years. Therefore, it is crucial to examine and adapt to China's development - we must often ask ourselves: How can Danish companies keep up with China's development?" In Pontoppidan's (蓬托皮丹) view, China's rapid development in the field of biotechnology is worthy of attention, and this is also a field of cooperation from which both Denmark and China can benefit in the future.

Talking about China's continuous expansion of high-level opening up to the outside world, Pontoppidan (蓬托皮丹) believes that Danish companies will benefit from it: "Both Denmark and China advocate strengthening global trade, and Denmark is highly dependent on trade. China's high-level opening up to the outside world brings us more development opportunities."

Official Travel: Higher Efficiency (On the Scene - Observing Work Style)

By: 本报记者  田先进

"Now I have to go to the village to verify the insured area of rice planting, and there are several other things to do later, so I have to hurry up." At about 11 a.m., Wang Ximing, an agricultural office worker from Gongshan Town (工山镇), Nanling County (南陵县), Wuhu City (芜湖市), Anhui Province (安徽省), hurried downstairs and went straight to his private car.

Sitting in the car, Wang Ximing took out his mobile phone and skillfully opened the "Official Vehicle Easy (Anhui) APP", selected "Apply for Vehicle". The system quickly completed the automatic review, and after clicking "I have departed", Wang Ximing drove out of the town government. At 11:15 a.m., Wang Ximing arrived at his destination - Gongyi Village (工一村), and then clicked "I have arrived" on the APP, and the system automatically generated an order.

Why use a private car for official business trips? This is related to the travel subsidy method in Nanling County (南陵县).

In order to solve the problems in grassroots official travel, in September 2022, the local government used digital and intelligent technology to add a "Distance Travel" module to the Anhui Province Official Vehicle Management Information Platform (安徽省公务用车管理信息平台). This module uses the Beidou positioning system (北斗定位系统) to intelligently measure the number of kilometers traveled, and automatically calculates the subsidy for each private car trip. This "information platform + precise monetary subsidy" model is called the "Distance Guarantee Method" locally.

Why adopt such a model? This starts with the pain points and bottlenecks of grassroots official travel.

"There are many things at the grassroots level and few cars. Grassroots official vehicles often have problems such as 'not enough cars to go down', 'unclear management', and 'private cars used for public purposes costing money'," said Zhang Yuejin (章跃进), Deputy Director of the Nanling County Bureau of Government Affairs Management (南陵县机关事务管理局).

Taking Gongshan Town (工山镇) as an example, the township only has 3 official vehicles, which is not enough when it gets busy. In previous years, the local government took into account the actual situation and adopted the method of choosing transportation and issuing a package subsidy to ensure grassroots official travel.

"This method also has disadvantages, such as complicated procedures and processes; the subsidy is not refined enough, and sometimes you have to pay for fuel yourself," said Zhang Yuejin (章跃进).

Speaking of the previous application and reimbursement process, Xia Chun (夏春), Director of the Party and Government Office of Gongshan Town (工山镇), Nanling County (南陵县), said: "When applying for a car, you have to find the department负责人 (fù zé rén - "person in charge," the head of the department) and the person in charge of the division to sign, and then find them to sign again when reimbursing, which is a troublesome process; what's even more troublesome is the review, sorting out so many documents is time-consuming and laborious. The paper application and reimbursement forms in our office can pile up to half a person's height."

Now, the entire process can be operated electronically through the mobile APP, and even if the person in charge does not review and sign in time, it can be automatically approved and then reviewed and signed afterwards. Travelers no longer have to fill in information and wait for approval on paper application forms and reimbursement forms over and over again. "Official travel no longer requires paper approval processes, and it can be completed with a few clicks on the mobile phone, which is much more efficient than using a car before!" said Wang Ximing (王锡明).

How to prevent someone from "刷单赚钱" (shuā dān zhuàn qián - "farming orders for profit," falsifying trips to earn subsidies)? How to verify whether the traveler has arrived at the destination? How to ensure that subsidies are issued in a standardized manner?

"The car use process is simplified, but the supervision is stricter," said Xu Pengfei (徐鹏飞), Director of the Party and Government Office of Xuzhen Town (许镇镇), Nanling County (南陵县), who has to review a large number of car use subsidy forms, but he is not worried about the workload. He said that the help of technology and完善的制度 (wán shàn de zhì dù - "perfected system," a comprehensive and well-established system) are the best regulatory "assistants".

With this system, the entire process of car use and subsidies is "留痕" (liú hén - "leaving traces," documented and traceable). The platform can record detailed information about each trip, intelligently calculate the number of kilometers and costs, and incorporate it into the "Provincial Network" of the official vehicle management platform, and the data can be stored, tracked, traced, and viewed; in terms of control, a control mechanism is implemented in which the person in charge of the division conducts front-end review and approval, and the end of subsidy distribution is reviewed.

Every quarter, Xu Pengfei (徐鹏飞) posts the car use subsidy information on the publicity栏 (lán - "column," bulletin board) and sends the electronic表格 (biǎo gé - "form," spreadsheet) to a work group of more than 200 people. The table clearly shows information such as time, departure point, destination, reason for travel, number of travelers, and subsidy amount. "Everyone can not only see their own subsidy information, but also see other people's, which plays a role in mutual supervision," said Xu Pengfei (徐鹏飞). "If someone 'maliciously farms orders', everyone can see it at a glance. It's embarrassing to earn small money and lose face, and they themselves would be embarrassed."

In addition, the platform can intelligently identify the identities of various staff members, and civil servants who receive car subsidies are not eligible for subsidies within the scope of protection. At present, Nanling County (南陵县) has fully promoted the "Distance Guarantee Method".

After dealing with the matter, Wang Ximing (王锡明) had to rush to the next village. He said with a smile: "Right now, it is the busy farming season. I have to go to multiple villages every day to deal with various affairs. Thanks to the 'Distance Guarantee Method', our grassroots cadres can work more efficiently and feel more comfortable."

First Heatstroke Forecast of the Year Released

This newspaper's Beijing (北京) dispatch on June 8th (Reporter Li Hongmei (李红梅)) - The China Meteorological Administration Public Meteorological Service Center issued the first national high-temperature heatstroke meteorological forecast of the year at 18:00 on the 8th, reminding that heatstroke is more likely to occur in central Beijing (北京) and other places.

The forecast shows that it is expected that during the day on the 9th, heatstroke is more likely to occur in central Beijing (北京), central and southern Hebei (河北), central and northern Henan (河南), central and western Shandong (山东), southwestern Shanxi (山西), central Shaanxi (陕西), and the Turpan (吐鲁番) Basin in Xinjiang (新疆). Among them, some areas in southern Hebei (河北) and northern Henan (河南) are prone to heatstroke.

The Central Meteorological Observatory (中央气象台) also issued a yellow high-temperature warning, predicting that during the day on the 9th, there will be high temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius in southern Beijing (北京), central and southern Tianjin (天津), central and southern Hebei (河北), central and northern and western Shandong (山东), central and northern Henan (河南), the Fenwei Plain (汾渭平原), central and southern Guangdong (广东), and southern Xinjiang (新疆) and the Turpan (吐鲁番) Basin.

Meteorological experts remind the public to take measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down, avoid exposure to sunlight, and take necessary protective measures for those who work under high-temperature conditions and those who need to work outdoors for a long time during the day. During the college entrance examination period, candidates need to take measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down.

The national high-temperature heatstroke meteorological forecast is mainly based on the heat index for judgment. The heat index comprehensively considers the impact of multiple factors such as temperature and relative humidity on the human body. According to the severity of possible high-temperature heatstroke, the meteorological department divides it into 4 levels, from light to heavy: possible heatstroke, more likely heatstroke, easy heatstroke, and extremely easy heatstroke. The higher the meteorological level of high-temperature heatstroke, the more people are likely to suffer from heatstroke.

Breaking down barriers, promoting fair competition (Commentator's observation)

By: 邹  翔

Fair competition is like sunshine and rain, indispensable for the healthy growth of the private economy.

Tangible barriers need to be eliminated, and intangible barriers also need to be broken down urgently. The process of eliminating barriers is also a process of updating concepts.

How to break down market barriers? How much development momentum can be released by breaking down barriers? Let's look at the case of Luoyang (洛阳), Henan (河南).

Previously, due to the low ownership of new energy vehicles and the unclear industrial prospects, social capital took a wait-and-see attitude towards the construction of charging piles. In order to accelerate the construction of charging piles in the city, Luoyang authorized the local urban investment company to conduct franchise operations. However, the drawbacks of this model gradually became apparent, not only was the number of constructions not keeping up, but the service quality was also not high. In response to market and public demand, Luoyang took the initiative to open up the charging pile market in July 2020.

The number increased from more than 1,300 in 2020 to more than 15,000 by the end of 2024, and the service fee dropped from 80 cents per kilowatt-hour to about 30 cents – the numbers prove that the relevant measures have helped Luoyang's public charging pile construction improve in quality and speed, and promoted the development of the local new energy vehicle market.

Breaking down barriers, promoting fair competition, and creating a stable, fair, transparent, and predictable environment for the development of the private economy can effectively boost development confidence, stimulate market vitality, and improve people's well-being.

Fair competition is like sunshine and rain, indispensable for the healthy growth of the private economy. Formulating the Law on Promoting the Private Economy, an important starting point is to "ensure fair participation in market competition by all types of economic organizations." This basic law has many statements about "same," "fair," and "equal," and lists "fair competition" as a separate chapter after the general principles, responding to the long-term concerns of private enterprises.

Promoting fairness involves both legal weapons and pragmatic actions. Take bidding as an example, the Law on Promoting the Private Economy clearly states: "Unless otherwise stipulated by law, public resource transactions such as bidding and government procurement shall not have any acts that restrict or exclude private economic organizations." Henan promotes special rectification of bidding to ensure the equal participation of private enterprises and other business entities in bidding activities; Shenzhen (深圳), Guangdong (广东) pilots the "evaluation and determination separation" reform of bidding, separating technical review from standard decision-making, and strengthening the transparency of bidding and the autonomy of business entities... Local innovative measures have put the equal status of private enterprises in public resource transactions into practice. From January to April this year, the winning rate of private enterprises increased by 5 percentage points year-on-year, and the number of projects with a value of less than 100 million yuan won by private enterprises accounted for more than 80%.

Market access is the starting point for all types of business entities to conduct business and participate in competition. A constantly "slimming" list reflects the steady pace of fair market advancement.

Since its introduction in 2018, the negative list for market access has undergone 4 revisions, and the number of items has been reduced from the initial 151 to the current 106, a reduction of about 30%. A number of industry access restrictions have been relaxed, and all types of business entities can see, touch, enter, and achieve "the shorter the list, the more active the market." Not only that, "the state implements a nationally unified negative list system for market access" is written into law, further strengthening the seriousness and authority of the system, and helping to stimulate the endogenous power of private economic development from the source of governance.

Tangible barriers need to be eliminated, and intangible barriers also need to be broken down urgently. Currently, multiple departments are jointly carrying out actions to clean up and rectify local laws, regulations, and administrative normative documents that have "illegally expanded the scope of approval, changed or added approval conditions," and "excessively high access standards and excessively long approval processes," and promote the implementation of "non-prohibited is permitted." Market barriers are not only a 拦路虎 (lán lù hǔ - "roadblock tiger," obstacle) to the growth of the private economy, but also a 绊脚石 (bàn jiǎo shí - "stumbling block," obstacle) to local economic development, and one must be broken for every one found. What is particularly noteworthy is that from the "潜规则" ("qián guī zé" - "hidden rules," unspoken rules) of "identity discrimination" in government procurement to the disguised thresholds of reviewing but not approving and permitting but not allowing in terms of market access, the elimination of various hidden barriers is also related to the private enterprises' perception of fairness, and concerns the rule of law confidence and development confidence of private entrepreneurs, and concerns the vitality and potential of China's high-quality economic development.

The process of eliminating barriers is also a process of updating concepts. Private enterprises contribute more than half of the "new three items" exports, DeepSeek rushed to the first echelon of the industry with the "low cost + open source" model, and HarmonyOS computers with more than 2,700 core patents have been launched... China's private economy is accelerating forward in the tide of the times. To care for its journey towards "new" and reach new heights, it needs the support of the cornerstone of fair competition, and it also cannot be separated from the support of a good social atmosphere.

The vitality of fairness lies in being perceptible and accessible. Focusing on the pain points and difficulties faced by the healthy development of the private economy, and implementing the Law on Promoting the Private Economy without compromise, when the principles of "equal treatment, fair competition, equal protection, and common development" are transformed into vivid and realistic cases, the private economy will show new achievements and burst out new vitality on a broader stage.

Hoping for Overseas Enterprises to Undergo a "Kiln Transformation" into a Myriad of Colors (On-site Commentary)

By: 李铁林

Improve resource allocation efficiency on the one hand, and do a good job in the whole-chain management of risk investigation, early warning, and bottom-line guarantee on the other hand, to solve the urgent needs and difficulties of enterprises with attentive service.

Facing the uncertainty of the external environment, how can foreign trade enterprises effectively avoid risks and find new growth points? Not long ago, the 4th China-Central and Eastern European Countries Expo and International Consumer Goods Expo was held in Ningbo (宁波), Zhejiang (浙江 Province), from which high-scoring answers can be found.

Foreign trade enterprises are moving forward under pressure, and a high-quality exhibition is just in time. Yueli Group (月立集团), which focuses on the manufacturing of small household appliances, shared a "report card": by opening up markets in Central and Eastern European countries, Russia (俄罗斯), Turkey (土耳其), and other countries, the company's sales in the first four months of this year increased by 27% against the trend. At present, "walking on multiple legs" has become a consensus for more and more enterprises to cope with external challenges, and entering emerging markets and reducing dependence on a single market are being accelerated on the agenda.

In reality, emerging markets are relatively scattered and have limited individual volumes. At the same time, there are differences in market demand and payment ability. Exporting enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are prone to "acclimatization" in terms of research and development, production, marketing channels, and capital turnover. To better adapt to the new competitive landscape, it depends on enterprises to improve their own resilience, and also requires government departments and service platforms to provide systematic support to escort enterprises to go overseas.

Stabilizing foreign trade is not only a matter for enterprises. For government departments, continuous optimization of policy supply and elimination of institutional barriers can provide strong support for enterprises to compete in new tracks.

Some exhibitors especially praised two policies that benefit enterprises: one is the Customs AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification. Locally, after enterprises obtain the certification, the frequency of customs inspection is reduced to about 1/10 of that of ordinary enterprises, and the timeliness and convenience are significantly improved; the second is the export credit insurance policy. Facing the unknowns of the turnover of goods in emerging markets, insurance protection reduces the worries of enterprises.

To expand emerging markets, efficiency and security are the core concerns of enterprises. To make good use of policies such as optimizing the business environment at ports and promoting supply and demand docking, we must improve resource allocation efficiency on the one hand, and do a good job in the whole-chain management of risk investigation, early warning, and bottom-line guarantee on the other hand, to solve the urgent needs and difficulties of enterprises with attentive service.

Policy supply should have strength and accuracy. In recent years, policies to benefit and help enterprises have been continuously increased, but there are still imbalances in policy coverage, and some enterprises feel that they are "not quenched." In the interview, some small and medium-sized enterprises reflected that they "cannot reach the export volume threshold for participating in high-standard exhibitions" and "the brand influence is not enough to be selected for the subsidy list." The word "equality" weighs a thousand pounds. To promote the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, we must adhere to equality of rights, equality of opportunity, and equality of rules for enterprises. This requires relevant departments to focus on the "last mile" of policy implementation, better promote "one case for each bank" and "one policy for each enterprise," so that all types of enterprises can have a sense of gain.

In addition, as an important part of the market, foreign trade service platforms should also respond to needs in a timely manner and launch targeted services for emerging markets.

Visiting foreign trade enterprises frequently, communicating with enterprises, and listening to demands as soon as possible... Talking about his promotion model, the person in charge of Ningbo Guomao Yunshang (宁波国贸云商) was quite proud. As a foreign trade comprehensive service provider, the platform jointly established an operation center with the Romanian e-commerce company eMAG (罗马尼亚电商eMAG) to help more than 200 enterprises in Ningbo (宁波) "gain fans" in the country.

Some foreign trade enterprises adopt OEM or ODM models, and have shortcomings in terms of brands and channels. The cost of "fighting alone" to open up markets is high, and sometimes the benefits are difficult to meet expectations. Borrowing from platforms to "go overseas as a group" has become a pragmatic choice. Cross-border e-commerce platforms Temu (Temu) and SHEIN (希音) have increased advertising in Europe (欧洲), Brazil (巴西), and other places; TikTok (TikTok) e-commerce is accelerating the recommendation of markets outside North America (北美) to merchants... Platform enterprises continue to aggregate resources, boldly explore, and serve proactively, which helps to open up a fast channel for foreign trade enterprises to embrace new markets.

At the exhibition, an enterprise mentioned local celadon: under the skilled craftsmanship and selfless dedication of the craftsmen, the most ordinary soil, water, and fire in nature can also usher in a magical kiln transformation. Is Chinese manufacturing not the same? Diligence, dedication, and adaptability, insisting on doing difficult and correct things, and doing simple things to the extreme, are the secrets of our success as the world's largest manufacturing country. In the complex and volatile situation, maintaining focus and strengthening confidence, and insisting on doing our own thing well, exporting enterprises can also usher in their own splendid "kiln transformation."

Eliminating "Fake" Accounts to Safeguard a Clear and Bright Online Space (People's Daily Commentary)

By: 孟繁哲

Rectifying Counterfeit Accounts: Focusing on Precise Measures, Cutting off the Profit Chain, and Increasing the Cost of Illegal and Irregular Activities

A recent news report has sparked widespread discussion among netizens.

A certain self-media company registered a batch of online accounts that frequently published content on "counter-espionage and anti-espionage." By releasing so-called "internal information" and "declassified information" to attract attention and gain followers, they used the name of safeguarding national security to enhance user stickiness and increase the commercial value of their accounts. Such behavior damages the authority of national security agencies, causes adverse social impact, and crosses the legal red line.

Impersonating others is a violation, and intentional fraud is illegal. Previously, when the movie *Ne Zha* was a hit, more than 400 accounts impersonating director "Jiaozi" (饺子) appeared on a short video platform. From fabricating the persona of a "tourism bureau director" to attract traffic, to selling fake products in the name of the postal department, to "bumping into" celebrities to commit fraud... These behaviors of "pretending to be Li Gui to cheat Li Kui" infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of relevant parties. The *Regulations on the Administration of Information Services of Public Accounts of Internet Users* has clearly made prohibitive provisions. Rectifying and banning "self-media" that impersonate official institutions, news media, and specific personnel is conducive to creating and maintaining a healthy online ecosystem.

Counterfeit accounts disregard public interests, and their harm should not be underestimated. The Cyberspace Administration of China (网信部门) has repeatedly carried out "Qinglang" (清朗) series of special actions. Under the severe crackdown, why are counterfeit accounts still repeatedly banned? The fundamental reason is that compared to the cost of illegality, the "Li Gui" (李鬼) still have something to gain. Behind many counterfeit accounts, there is a gray industrial chain of creating, nurturing, and selling accounts. For lawbreakers, counterfeit accounts are "made in batches" at once, and even if they are "muted and banned," the income has already been obtained. Therefore, rectifying counterfeit accounts requires focusing on precise measures, cutting off the profit chain, and increasing the cost of illegal and irregular activities.

The platform is the primary responsible party for managing online accounts and should improve measures to effectively respond to the ever-changing counterfeit accounts. Some platform companies have made useful explorations. Improving the authentication mechanism, adding "V" and other logos to official accounts to show the difference; setting up reporting entrances in prominent positions such as article pages and chat interfaces to facilitate users to report counterfeit accounts at any time; taking measures such as deleting articles, restricting functions, and indefinitely banning accounts according to the severity of the circumstances... Optimizing measures with innovative concepts and methods, strengthening the review of account information, and actively cooperating with law enforcement supervision can make it difficult for counterfeit accounts to take advantage of opportunities.

When traffic becomes an important variable in social life, governance must keep up in a timely manner. Data shows that there are more than 15 million professional online anchors in China. Considering that "self-media" are wide-ranging and distributed on various online platforms, joint management by all parties can form a joint force for governance. From banning "counterfeit accounts" to rectifying the chaos of false and vulgar online live broadcasts and sports "fan circles," to increasing the efforts to deal with illegal and irregular MCN (Multi-Channel Network) organization accounts... Strengthening supervision helps to cut off illegal profit-making chains and expand the reach of high-quality information content. For the majority of users, when traveling in the online world, they must also cultivate "traffic literacy." Whether it is to keep their eyes open and identify "official accounts and small accounts" in a timely manner, or to operate cautiously and let creation, likes, and reposts transmit positive energy, and maintain an evaluation orientation centered on quality, they can contribute to building a good online ecosystem.

"Traffic towards good can flow for a long time." Today, artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and Internet governance faces new challenges. For example, using artificial intelligence technology, it has become easier to wash manuscripts and improperly generate virtual characters in violation of regulations, and online "water armies" have also been upgraded. No matter how technology changes, cyberspace is the spiritual home of hundreds of millions of people and cannot become a distribution center for false and harmful information. Focusing on problems, taking multiple measures, and making persistent efforts, punishing violators according to law, clearing false information in a timely manner, and cutting off illegal dissemination chains will promote a cleaner and more upright Internet space and ensure that information technology always serves and benefits people.

Making the Path to Childbirth Warmer and Smoother (Heartwarming News & Hot Takes)

By: 蒋  萌

[Keywords] Assisted Reproductive Technology Included in Medical Insurance

[Event] Recently, Mr. Zhang (张先生) and his wife in Yantai (烟台), Shandong (山东) Province, were immersed in happiness and joy. Previously, due to economic pressure, the couple's plan to have "in vitro fertilization" had been shelved. Last year, Yantai (烟台) included assisted reproductive technology in medical insurance, which gave them confidence. They went to the hospital for a series of treatments and finally realized their "fertility dream." "The national policy is getting better and better, fulfilling my dream of becoming a mother and reducing the financial burden on the family." The simple words of a Beijing (北京) citizen with a similar experience reflect the sense of gain brought about by the improvement of medical insurance policies.

[Commentary]

In recent years, the infertility rate of couples of childbearing age in China has shown an upward trend. With the increasing maturity of assisted reproductive technology, these families are one step closer to their dream of having children, but the high cost deters some families. A member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (政协委员) once conducted a survey, and in some provinces or cities, according to the industry's average rough estimate, the cost of one delivery is about 100,000 yuan. Affected by various factors, the penetration rate of assisted reproductive technology in China is still low.

The purpose of medical insurance is to reduce the burden of medical expenses, so that people can more easily obtain medical services, and reducing the financial burden for infertile families is 题中应有之义 (tí zhōng yì yǒu zhī yì - "the meaning is already in the topic," a matter of course; something that is naturally implied or understood).

Currently, 31 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (新疆生产建设兵团) have included assisted reproductive technology in medical insurance, benefiting more than 1 million people in 2024. In Beijing (北京), 53,800 insured people have enjoyed assisted reproductive reimbursement, reducing the financial burden on the masses by about 406 million yuan; since Ningxia (宁夏) included assisted reproductive projects in medical insurance reimbursement in September 2024, it has helped more than 900 women successfully conceive... With the aim of benefiting the people, the accessibility of related services has been further improved, helping more families enjoy family happiness and demonstrating the mutual assistance and solidarity of the medical insurance system.

Including assisted reproductive technology in medical insurance is not only a breakthrough in the field of medical health, but also an important measure to implement the national population development strategy. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (党的二十大) report proposed: "Optimize the population development strategy, establish a fertility support policy system, and reduce the cost of fertility, parenting, and education." Including assisted reproductive technology in the scope of medical insurance reimbursement not only effectively meets the needs of the masses and releases fertility potential, but also helps reduce the cost of fertility and parenting and improve the quality of the population. From this, it also reflects the importance and support for fertility issues, which helps to create a good atmosphere of concern and support for fertility in the whole society, and further promote the improvement and optimization of fertility policies.

It should also be noted that after the inclusion of assisted reproductive technology in medical insurance policies, there are still uneven levels of policy implementation at this stage, and there is room for optimization in terms of medical insurance reimbursement projects, ratios, and methods. Medical insurance policies should adhere to doing what is possible and acting according to capacity, taking into account fairness and sustainability, and making reasonable arrangements based on scientific calculations of the needs of the population and the affordability of the medical insurance fund by relevant departments. This also means that this is a long-term project. Continuously improving relevant policies, while strengthening guidance to designated medical institutions and supervision of medical insurance funds, ensuring the rational use and safe operation of funds, will better benefit insured people, including fertility groups.

Improving fertility willingness, optimizing the population structure, alleviating the problem of population aging, and promoting the coordinated and sustainable development of population and socio-economic development are of great significance to the country. From the inclusion of assisted reproductive projects in medical insurance reimbursement in various places; to the setting up of "fertility-friendly positions" and "mother positions" in many places, providing a platform for people of childbearing age to develop their careers; to the inclusion of childcare for infants and young children under 3 years old and children's education in the special additional deduction of individual income tax... In recent years, a series of policies have been introduced intensively, with tangible support to share the burden of families on the road to parenting and accelerate the construction of a fertility-friendly society.

The family is the smallest country, and the country is thousands of families. With the continuous optimization and improvement of the fertility support system, the fertility path of thousands of families will be warmer and smoother, and high-quality population development will provide a more solid support for Chinese-style modernization.

Photo Story

During the "Sanxia" (三夏) season, various regions are seizing the farming season, and the fields are a busy scene. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (农业农村部) organized the allocation of agricultural machinery in advance to prepare for the summer harvest. According to scheduling, more than 17 million units (sets) of various agricultural machinery will be put into use nationwide this year to promote the mechanization of summer harvest, summer planting, and summer management. Various regions are accelerating the harvest progress, rushing to dry and sun, and striving to ensure a bumper summer grain harvest and that every grain is stored in the barn.

This is precisely:

The warm wind assaults people, and the wheat waves are yellow,
Ironclad harvesters wave their sickles, and the grains return to the barn.
Only after composing a new song of abundant harvest,
New green is sown again, praying for abundance.

Therapy is not the same as "buying equals healing" (Across the Board)

By: 汪昌莲

Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to their inner emotional needs, pursuing physical and mental health, and the healing economy has emerged as a result. However, due to the lack of market access and industry regulatory standards, some healing projects charge high fees but their effectiveness is questionable, breeding chaos, which urgently needs to be standardized.

From aromatherapy essential oils to meditation apps, from spiritual workshops to healing toys, merchants are launching diversified healing products and services targeting some people's spiritual needs. On a certain platform, the topic of sound healing has been played more than 3.5 billion times, and the topics of spiritual healing, hypnosis, and singing bowl healing have also been played more than 100 million times. What attracts consumers is not only the products and services, but also the emotional value behind them.

Some merchants design fast-food "spiritual SPA packages," some meditation apps launch "7-day stress reduction courses," and some internet-famous bookstores sell "healing blind boxes"... Fragmented comfort is only a simplified treatment of consumers' psychological needs and lacks in-depth healing effects. From the "healing moments" filtered on social media to the standardized "healing lifestyles" of internet celebrities, these carefully designed contents easily lead people to mistakenly believe that "inner peace" can be easily achieved through healing. However, over-commercialized and superficial healing supply also leads to the devaluation of spiritual comfort. When people equate "healing" with consumer behavior or social display, the self-acceptance and emotional management skills that truly need to be patiently cultivated are marginalized, and they may even fall into the consumerism trap of "buying is healing."

Not to mention, some merchants are actually 割韭菜 (gē jiǔ cài - "cutting chives," to exploit or fleece customers) in the name of healing. They use the banner of "being good to yourself" to create and sell anxiety, taking the opportunity to promote high-priced products and services. Because the emotional value provided by related products and services is difficult to quantify, and there is a lack of quality evaluation standards and pricing norms, consumers often find it difficult to prove that the goods are not as described, and as a result, they fail to obtain peace of mind but become even more upset.

In the face of the chaos in the healing economy, consumers need to increase their understanding of the essence of healing, have less expectation of quick results, and have more patience for growth. On the other hand, it should be standardized from the policy level as soon as possible, establish a sound qualification certification mechanism, set industry access standards, strengthen market supervision, and ensure the quality of products and services. In addition, we can also promote the establishment of domestic professional associations, formulate industry covenants, strengthen industry self-discipline, and introduce a public and transparent industry credit evaluation system to help consumers improve their ability to identify.

The healing economy should not only respond to people's pursuit of a high-quality life, but also be wary of excessive commercialization that deviates from its essence. Finding a balance point in the coordinate system of economic development and spiritual care can not only bring vigorous vitality to the economy, but also provide valuable spiritual nourishment, so as to meet social needs and achieve healthy development.

Walking towards the light, preserving sight for more patients (Narratives · Promoting the spirit of scientists)

By: 本报记者  白剑峰

Wang Ningli (王宁利) was born in Xining (西宁), Qinghai (青海) in 1957. He currently serves as the Director of the Beijing Tongren Hospital (北京同仁医院) Eye Center, Dean of the School of Ophthalmology at Capital Medical University (首都医科大学眼科学院), and Director of the National Engineering Research Center for Ophthalmic Diagnosis and Treatment. He is dedicated to the prevention and control of major blinding eye diseases and the research of glaucoma diagnosis and treatment techniques. He has advanced the traditional single intraocular pressure theory of glaucoma to the intraocular pressure-intracranial pressure linkage theory (i.e., the "dual pressure theory"). He has led the transformation and upgrading of glaucoma surgery from traditional external drainage fistula to increasing physiological internal drainage, solving the problem of many complications from traditional surgery. He has received honors such as National Advanced Worker and National Innovation and Competition Award.

Many years later, Wang Ningli often recalls the three questions his predecessors asked him when he first entered ophthalmology: Do you know what the world of the blind is like? Have you ever seen a blind person crossing the road? Can you help blind people get rid of their canes?

These three questions lingered in Wang Ningli's mind for a long time. "I can't do it now, but I believe that through continuous efforts, Chinese ophthalmologists will definitely be able to do it," he said.

Wang Ningli is currently the Director of the Beijing Tongren Hospital (北京同仁医院) Eye Center. In more than 40 years, he has completed nearly 30,000 various ophthalmic surgeries, preserving the light for many patients. Today, at the age of 68, he still sticks to the front lines of clinical practice and scientific research.

He is a light chaser, moving towards the light.

Overcoming Treatment Challenges

Proposing the "Dual Pressure Theory" based on clinical cases, designing new surgical procedures such as internal bypass.

A mother led her child into the clinic. The child suffered from congenital eye disease, and both eyes were almost blind, only able to see a faint light.

Wang Ningli took out a flashlight, ready to use red light to examine the child's eyes. The child suddenly grabbed Wang Ningli's hand, tightly holding the red flashlight, pressing his eyes against it, and a smile appeared on his face...

This scene was deeply imprinted in Wang Ningli's mind, reminding him forever of the responsibility of being an ophthalmologist.

There are over 21 million glaucoma patients in China. Glaucoma erodes the optic nerve, causing severe vision damage. Theoretically, increased intraocular pressure will compress the optic nerve and cause glaucoma. However, Wang Ningli found in clinical practice that nearly half of the people with glaucoma do not have high intraocular pressure. What is the reason?

Wang Ningli's research found that, in addition to intraocular pressure, the relatively low value of intracranial pressure is also an important factor leading to optic nerve damage. This discovery was accidental. Once in the outpatient clinic, a patient with cerebrospinal fluid leakage was transferred from neurosurgery. Although the degree of blurred vision was not severe, the field of vision was narrowed, "which is a typical glaucoma symptom," Wang Ningli judged. Later, the patient underwent cerebrospinal fluid leakage repair surgery. After the surgery, the intracranial pressure returned to normal, and the trend of glaucoma deterioration completely stopped. This case triggered Wang Ningli's thinking: Among glaucoma patients with normal intraocular pressure, could there also be the problem of low intracranial pressure?

He formed a team to delve into glaucoma topics and proposed the "dual pressure theory" - that the optic nerve is located in two pressure systems of intraocular pressure and intracranial pressure. Whether the intraocular pressure increases or the intracranial pressure decreases, it will lead to an increase in the eye-brain pressure gradient, which in turn causes chronic optic nerve damage through various molecular mechanisms.

Three years ago, Mr. Zhao, 27, came to Wang Ningli's clinic. Previously, he had undergone three trabeculectomy surgeries, all of which failed and caused severe postoperative scarring. Facing this patient on the verge of blindness, Wang Ningli designed an internal bypass surgical procedure that crossed the scar area, reconstructed the tunnel connection, established and restored the aqueous humor internal drainage pathway, and reduced intraocular pressure. Currently, this surgical procedure has saved nearly 2,000 similar glaucoma patients.

In recent years, Wang Ningli has also designed the world's first "3T surgery" that enhances the "pump function" of the aqueous humor outflow channel. This new surgical procedure has the least damage to the physiological structure among the current similar surgeries.

"A good doctor is one who constantly explores and strives to answer the must-answer question of medical innovation," Wang Ningli said.

Promoting Myopia Prevention and Control

Developing a farsighted screen based on the optical simulation of distant viewing mechanism, providing new means for intervening in myopia.

In March 2019, Wang Ningli stood on the first "Member Channel" of the Second Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协) to answer questions from reporters. He first "examined" the reporter who asked the question: "I noticed that you are also wearing glasses. I guess your glasses have a power of 400 degrees." Then, he scanned the audience: "There is no 'miracle doctor' or 'magic weapon' for myopia prevention and control. It must rely on national action."

In recent years, Wang Ningli's team has been committed to developing appropriate technologies for group intervention, promoting eye health policy changes and intervention technology implementation, and participating in the formulation of the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Eye Health (2021-2025)" («“十四五”全国眼健康规划（2021—2025年）»).

In 2011, Wang Ningli's team launched a cohort study of childhood myopia focusing on the occurrence, development, and related factors of myopia in school-age children in Anyang (安阳), Henan (河南). The study completed a 10-year follow-up of more than 5,000 children, summarizing the current prevalence of myopia among primary and secondary school students in the area, and providing a large amount of valuable data for the ophthalmology community. Among them, the discovery of physiological hyperopia accompanying preschool children made "hyperopic reserve" a key link in myopia prevention and control.

Aiming at the most important risk factors for myopia, such as lack of outdoor activities and prolonged near-distance eye use, Wang Ningli proposed that the main battlefield for myopia prevention and control should focus on preschool children. Children aged 6 to 7 should have a hyperopic reserve of about 150 degrees. If children's myopia prevention and control is not paid attention to in kindergarten, and children are not given enough outdoor activity time, it will cause insufficient hyperopic reserve, which will lead to myopia in primary school. At the same time, in order to alleviate the impact of prolonged near-distance eye use, Wang Ningli designed a farsighted screen, which provides new means for myopia prevention and control through the mechanism of optical simulation of distant viewing.

He led the team to design and manufacture high-precision, personalized customized optical lenses with 5-degree incremental adjustments. Wang Ningli introduced that traditional medical optometry advances in units of 25 degrees, but the actual resolution of the human eye is about 6.25 degrees. Adjusting with a smaller 5-degree incremental degree can improve the overcorrection or undercorrection caused by traditional optical glasses, providing more accurate vision correction for patients with refractive errors, thereby intervening in the development of myopia.

In addition, as the leader of the National Technical Guidance Group for Blindness Prevention, Wang Ningli led the team to undertake a number of major blindness prevention tasks, promote the establishment of a national ophthalmology alliance, and promote 59 appropriate technologies; presided over and participated in China's project to eliminate blinding trachoma, and completed the project goal two years ahead of schedule in 2014, making China successfully eliminate blinding trachoma; participated in a number of international cataract restoration assistance work, completing a cumulative total of more than 3,000 cataract restoration surgeries... In addition to myopia prevention and control, Wang Ningli's work field also has many.

Exploring Intelligent Screening

Releasing the first domestic ophthalmology image and text large model, greatly improving the detection rate and early diagnosis rate of eye diseases.

In the clinic, after listening to Wang Ningli's diagnosis and treatment plan, a patient opened his mobile phone and showed him the diagnostic report obtained through the artificial intelligence platform: "Dr. Wang, the conclusion on the Internet is different from your judgment."

Wang Ningli's heart tightened: "Could there be omissions in my diagnosis?"

After careful comparison, it was found that the patient only entered eye symptoms when consulting on the platform and did not mention his history of rheumatoid arthritis. After supplementing the information on systemic diseases, the re-generated diagnosis was highly consistent with Wang Ningli's judgment.

Wang Ningli said: "Patients obtaining health knowledge through artificial intelligence is becoming a trend. Doctors using artificial intelligence well will make doctor-patient communication more efficient." In recent years, he has been thinking about how to use artificial intelligence to carry out eye disease screening. He believes that artificial intelligence can not only empower medical development, but also benefit more patients.

At the 2024 China Medical Development Conference, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (中国医学科学院) released the "China's Important Medical Progress in 2023." Among them, the topic "Discovery of Annual AI Comprehensive Eye Disease Auxiliary Screening Helps the Detection and Timely Referral of More Early Eye Disease Patients" came from Wang Ningli's team.

In October 2024, Wang Ningli's team released the first domestic ophthalmology image and text large model - "Fuxi Huiyan" (伏羲慧眼). This ophthalmology image database can not only diagnose current eye diseases and predict the future eye health status of glaucoma patients, but also assess the body's blood routine and other indicators through an eye photo, so as to judge a person's overall health status.

Wang Ningli believes that artificial intelligence plays an important role in improving diagnostic efficiency, assisting clinical diagnosis, and strengthening patient detection. The "Fuxi Huiyan" (伏羲慧眼) artificial intelligence large model can accurately identify a variety of eye diseases through deep learning and big data analysis technology, realizing "one photo of the fundus, early knowledge of eye diseases," which greatly improves the detection rate and early diagnosis rate of eye diseases.

Today, the new theories and technologies proposed by Wang Ningli's team have been internationally recognized, and his treatment plan has been recommended by the World Glaucoma Association as specialist training content. "The thing I regret the least in my life is being an ophthalmologist. Being able to bring light to patients is my greatest pride," Wang Ningli said.

"Guarding the Mountain Girls' 'Life Exam' (Vigil)"

By: 本报记者  李茂颖  杨文明

On the morning of June 7th, as the entire campus was still asleep in the night, the lights of the teaching building slowly lit up. In front of the teaching building of Huaping Girls High School (华坪女子高中) in Lijiang (丽江), Yunnan (云南), that familiar figure appeared again. Since the first group of female high school students entered the college entrance examination hall in 2011, she has never been absent—this is Zhang Guimei's (张桂梅) fifteenth consecutive year of escorting students to the exam.

"I wish you all a 旗开得胜 (qí kāi dé shèng - "win victory with the first banner," to achieve immediate success) and success in the exam! Please remember the spirit of the Girls' High School: 百折不挠 (bǎi zhé bù náo - "hundred folds not yield," indomitable) and tenacious struggle." Holding a newly bought "small loudspeaker," Zhang Guimei's (张桂梅) voice cut through the morning campus, just like the past 14 escorts.

"The red sun rises in the east, its avenue is full of rosy clouds..." As the familiar song "My Motherland" sounded, the girls of Huaping Girls High School (华坪女高) set off for the most important examination hall of their lives.

Singing can reduce stress on the way to the exam, but for Zhang Guimei (张桂梅), the real torment begins after sending the children into the examination hall. The "long" wait makes her "unable to sit or stand." There is always a little "worry," but in fact, there are too many concerns, which stem from her daily inseparable relationship and deep concern for the children.

When Zhou Yunli (周云丽) saw Zhang Guimei's (张桂梅) figure waiting outside the examination hall, her greatest feeling was peace of mind.

Also in the hot summer, the time of escorting the exam overlapped with the scene of her taking the college entrance examination 15 years ago. From stationery preparation to physical condition adjustment, Zhang Guimei (张桂梅) carefully instructed the children. As the first female high school student to participate in the college entrance examination, Zhou Yunli (周云丽) returned to the Girls' High School (女高) after graduating from university and became a teacher here. "I'm so nervous! More nervous than the students!" When she escorted her students to the exam as a teacher, she finally realized Zhang's (张) teacher's state of mind.

"I hope the children become useful people to society." What makes Zhang Guimei (张桂梅) most proud and gratified is that these girls who walked out of the mountains have done it.

Zhou Yunli (周云丽) returned to the place where her dream began, and some female high school students work as primary school teachers in the mountains, and have been sticking to it for nearly 10 years, just because "they still need me there"; other students chose to join the army in Tibet (西藏), just because she always remembered "where the motherland needs me, I will go."

From initially hoping that the children "don't look back and go high" to hoping that the children become useful people to society, Zhang Guimei (张桂梅) has also changed a lot: "Going out of the mountains was once the greatest wish of the children, but some of them came back after completing their studies. They returned to their hometowns, and worked hard to lift the hope of the mountains, turning the mountains here into 'treasure mountains'."

Not long ago, the small loudspeaker that had accompanied Zhang Guimei (张桂梅) for many years was donated to the National Museum as a precious testimony. It has awakened many mornings, accompanied many nights, and directed many escorts... The small loudspeaker rang year after year, and also witnessed many female high school students rushing to distant places.

"I sent them out of the mountains, and they left me in the world." Many nights tormented by illness, what supported Zhang Guimei (张桂梅) to persevere was the spiritual motivation given to her by the children. She once vowed "as long as there is a breath, I will stand on the podium," and now she cares more about spending as many years as possible with the children.

The road ahead is long and the mountains are high. The journey is bound to be arduous, but behind these mountain girls, there has always been someone watching, accompanying and encouraging them to cross the mountains and move towards a wider world.

It's a small act of kindness, but also a relay of love (Heartwarming Story)

By: 本报记者  施  钰

The sky was drizzling, and the air was full of moisture.

At 5 p.m., during the peak hours for food delivery, Hong Chengmu (洪成木), a delivery driver in Xiamei Town (霞美镇), Nan'an City (南安市), Fujian Province (福建省), was riding his electric scooter on the road. Stopping at a red light, Hong Chengmu looked around and noticed a man in his 50s – with a buzz cut, bare-chested, wearing blue shorts, arms crossed, pacing in front of a shop.

"Sir, where is your home?" Hong Chengmu parked his scooter nearby and went up to ask.

"Changfu Village (长福村), Xiamei Town (霞美镇)." The man looked lost.

"Do you know your home phone number? How long have you been out?" Hong Chengmu continued to ask, but received no response.

"This must be a lost person," Hong Chengmu thought. He quickly contacted a colleague to help deliver his orders, while he stayed in place to watch over the man. At the same time, Hong Chengmu took a photo of the man and sent a message to the Xiamei Town Volunteer Association (霞美镇志愿者协会) group.

With the help of association members, Hong Chengmu contacted the Changfu Village (长福村) village committee and waited with the man for the village officials to arrive. It turned out that the man had an intellectual disability and had been missing for a whole day.

In 2019, Hong Chengmu accidentally helped a lost person return home while delivering food, and since then he has become a volunteer searcher. "Our usual job is to walk the streets and alleys, paying attention to whether there are any passers-by who need help. Asking one more question may help a family who is looking for a missing family member," said Hong Chengmu (洪成木).

The sky became increasingly gloomy, and soon it began to rain heavily. Hong Chengmu put on his raincoat and continued delivering food. At 7:30 p.m., raindrops hit the ground heavily, and the accumulated water gradually submerged his insteps. There were hardly any pedestrians on the road. As he passed an intersection, Hong Chengmu found an old woman picking up cardboard and plastic bottles by the roadside.

"Grandma, you're soaked in the rain. Why aren't you going home so late? Where do you live?" Hong Chengmu got off his scooter and asked.

"I'm from Jianzi Village (尖仔村)," the old woman replied.

"Do you know how to get there?" Hong Chengmu asked again.

"I'll go back that way," the old woman pointed forward.

Hong Chengmu thought to himself, "That's not the direction of Jianzi Village (尖仔村)." After further questioning, Hong Chengmu found that the old woman could no longer discern directions.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Hong Chengmu didn't dare to delay. He quickly contacted a volunteer from Jianzi Village (尖仔村) in the group and asked him to drive the old woman home. "Grandma, be careful," Hong Chengmu closed the car door for the old woman before leaving, and patiently told her to be careful.

In the past six years, Hong Chengmu (洪成木) has helped 154 lost people return home. He said, "This is 举手之劳 (jǔ shǒu zhī láo - "as easy as lifting a hand," an easy task) and a relay of love. I look forward to more people joining the ranks of volunteer searchers."

Largest oil and gas platform in Bohai Sea completes float-over installation

This newspaper's Beijing (北京) dispatch on June 8th (Reporter Ding Yiting (丁怡婷)): The Bohai Sea's largest oil and gas platform – the Kenli 10-2 Oilfield Cluster Development Project (Phase I) central processing platform was successfully installed using float-over technology on the 8th. This three-story multifunctional offshore platform, integrating production and living facilities, stands 22.8 meters tall, weighs over 20,000 tons, and has a projected area equivalent to nearly 15 standard basketball courts, breaking the size and weight records for offshore oil and gas platforms in the Bohai Sea region.

It is understood that because this central processing platform exceeds the capacity limit of domestic offshore floating cranes, float-over technology was used for installation. The project team relied on digital twin technology to perform 3D modeling and computational analysis, precisely designed the float-over technology plan, carried out virtual simulation key operation rehearsals, and identified operational risks and formulated countermeasures. During the float-over operation, three sets of Beidou positioning systems with artificial intelligence algorithms were installed on the main work vessel to provide "millimeter-level anti-collision radar" for the float-over operation. At the same time, multiple tugboats were linked to control the ship, achieving precise positioning of the platform in one attempt.

To date, China (中国) has completed 50 large offshore platform float-overs, with a maximum float-over capacity of 32,000 tons and a total float-over weight of over 600,000 tons, overcoming key technologies such as high-level float-over, low-level float-over, and dynamic positioning float-over.

It is reported that the Kenli 10-2 Oilfield area has an average water depth of about 20 meters, with proven geological reserves of crude oil exceeding 100 million tons. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be put into production within the year, which will provide support for the Bohai Oilfield to achieve an annual oil and gas production of 40 million tons within the year.

Wild birds openly sold here (Letter investigation)

By: 本报记者 赵 兵 沈童睿

Dear Editor,

Protecting wild birds is now a social consensus, but in some places, the problem of hunting and selling wild birds still exists. I visited bird markets in Shaanxi (陕西), Liaoning (辽宁), and other places and found that wild birds were being openly sold, including some that are under second-class state protection. Some people have reported this to the relevant departments, but the handling efforts are not very strong. I hope the media will pay attention to this issue.

A netizen from the People's Daily Online "Leaders' Message Board"

Hwamei, skylarks, goldfinches, Japanese white-eyes... These protected wild birds should be flying freely in the sky, but in some places, these lovely creatures have become caged playthings, some have become ingredients on the dining table, and more are injured and die during the capture process. Recently, according to clues from readers' letters, reporters went to the bird trading market in Xi'an (西安市), Shaanxi (陕西) for an undercover visit.

Wild birds are openly sold, some of which are second-class state-protected animals.

"200 yuan for a red-billed leiothrix, do you want it?" "Look how good this Hwamei looks, 300 yuan isn't expensive, right?"...

At 9:00 a.m. on May 25, the reporter arrived at the bird market in the Changle Flower Expo Garden (长乐花卉博览园) in Xi'an (西安市), Shaanxi (陕西). Although it had just rained, there were still twenty or thirty vendors, some displaying birdcages in a row, some placing birdcages on the roofs of their vehicles to attract attention, and some carrying cages around, looking for buyers... There were nearly a hundred birds of various kinds on the scene, with calls rising one after another. A nearby resident told the reporter that the bird market is open every Friday and Sunday, and there are more vendors when the weather is good.

The reporter walked from one end to the other and saw wild birds such as red-throated pipits, Hwamei, and Japanese white-eyes in the small bird market, all of which are second-class state-protected animals. In addition, there were also hawfinches, yellow-bellied tits, myna birds, willow warblers, and other "three haves" wild animals that are beneficial or have important economic and scientific research value as stipulated in the Wildlife Protection Law.

In the bird dealers' hawking, crested larks were 800 yuan, Hwamei 300 yuan, red-throated pipits 260 yuan, goldfinches 15 yuan... The prices of these wild birds ranged from a few yuan to several hundred yuan.

"I've sold out today, I'll catch another batch when I get back." In front of a stall, a bird dealer handed a goldfinch to a buyer, without any hesitation about the source of his goods. The reporter observed that there were security guards and people wearing "order maintenance" armbands in the bird market, but no one intervened in these transactions. According to one vendor, it only costs 20 yuan to rent a stall to sell birds or cats and dogs here.

Subsequently, the reporter came to the Xicang Flower and Bird Market (西仓花鸟市场), 7 kilometers away. This is a well-known flower, bird, insect, and fish market in the local area. There were also dozens of bird dealers distributed throughout the market, selling birds including red-billed leiothrix and other second-class state-protected animals, as well as yellow-bellied tits, willow warblers, and other "three haves" wild animals.

A vendor sat against the wall, hawking bird traps. "This is called a 'step cage'. It uses decoy birds and bird food to attract birds to step on it, and when the mechanism turns, it falls into the cage." He demonstrated and introduced, "180 yuan, I'll give you a double-layered one. You can catch Hwamei, Chinese bulbuls, and so on. I also have bigger ones if you want."

Looking at the cages, some birds stayed quietly, while others fluttered their wings and continuously hit the cage. A blackbird had already hit its head until it bled, but it continued to hit the cage wall. When the reporter asked why it kept hitting the cage wall, the bird dealer replied, "This is a 'raw bird', it was just caught not long ago."

"The quieter ones have been raised for a while, and the price is higher. This kind that keeps rushing out is usually caught from the wild not long ago, and the wildness is still there. In the industry, it's called a 'raw bird'. Wild birds are difficult to tame. After they are captured, they often die due to stress reactions, thirst, high temperatures, and other factors. If you catch 10 in the wild, only 1 will survive." Xiang Yufei (向宇飞) (pseudonym), a volunteer who has been paying attention to the protection of wild birds, introduced.

Bird dealers exploit legal loopholes, evade punishment, and the cost of breaking the law is low.

At 7:00 a.m. on May 26, the reporter came to another bird market more than 50 kilometers away – an alley in Dawang Street (大王街道), Huyi District (鄠邑区), Xi'an (西安市). In the alley, there was a crowd of people, and birdcages of various heights were placed on brick walls, the ground, and bicycle handlebars, including various wild birds such as Japanese white-eyes, cuckoos, and shrikes.

"This is a red hemp finch, it sings very well." Seeing the reporter approaching a birdcage, the bird dealer began to promote it, "The one below is a 'raw bird', 60 yuan, the one above has been tamed, it's 100 yuan." The red hemp finch is scientifically known as the rosefinch, which belongs to the "three haves" wild animals.

The reporter asked, "I want a few more, are they easy to catch?"

"I have 30 red hemp finches at home. If you need them, just look for me, I come here every two days." The bird dealer said that he catches birds in the fields all year round, setting up nets before dawn every morning and collecting them after 9:00 a.m. But now there are fewer and fewer birds, and he only catches about 20 a month.

The reporter recognized a bird dealer he had met the day before at the Xicang Flower and Bird Market (西仓花鸟市场). He said that he could catch a dozen birds a day, "I have a lot of stock, I have everything," and he travels between several bird markets to sell them. In a short while, he sold seven or eight birds, earning several hundred yuan.

"At present, according to national laws and regulations, hunting and selling wild birds needs to reach a certain amount before a case will be filed and investigated. Bird dealers will study relevant laws and regulations and take measures to evade punishment. For example, if a Hwamei is valued at 1,000 yuan, the bird dealer will bring at most 2, and hide the rest at home or in a warehouse. If someone wants to buy in large quantities, they will transfer the transaction location. This way, even if they are caught in the bird market, the punishment will not be severe." Reader Liao Changyong (廖昌勇) said that this will also affect law enforcement departments, because they will worry about whether the value of these wild birds is enough to file a case.

Relevant departments have also cracked down on illegal trading of wild animals, but it will revive after a short time. Xiang Yufei (向宇飞) believes that part of the reason is "high income and low cost": "On the one hand, the capture cost is low. Hunters only need to set up bird nets and bird cages in advance, without too much preparation, and these bird catching tools are also easy to obtain."

On a short video platform, searching for the keyword "bird catching" can find a large number of product sales pages. Some product promotion pages are even photos of a wild bird hanging on a bird net, with text next to it: "Hwamei, pigeons, turtledoves, hawfinches." Some stores deliberately use homophones such as "bu niao" (补鸟) to evade supervision. Some call the goods they sell "anti-bird nets", which are used in orchards to prevent birds from pecking at fruits, but real anti-bird nets are flat nets with thicker mesh lines and larger grids, which will not cause fatal harm to birds. The so-called "anti-bird nets" sold by sellers have very thin mesh lines, are almost transparent, and form deep pockets when opened, making it difficult for birds to avoid them. In essence, they are bird catching nets.

On the other hand, the cost of breaking the law is low. "The risk of being caught is low. Sometimes the masses report to relevant departments but no one pays attention. In addition, the number of transactions on the spot is limited, so even if bird dealers are fined, it will not be very heavy," said Xiang Yufei (向宇飞).

The trade of wild birds forms a gray industrial chain in the capture, sale, and transportation links.

On May 26, the reporter found two bird nets in a forest in Weinan Village (渭南村), Weifeng Street (渭丰街道), Huyi District (鄠邑区). One was about 3 meters high and 10 meters long; the other was about 5 meters high and 20 meters long, both set up in an L shape. The mesh lines were very thin and difficult to detect from a distance. A swallow was stuck in the mesh and had already died.

"Swallows raise their offspring together. Now is the breeding season. If one swallow dies, the other will be under great pressure and may abandon the nest, and a nest of baby swallows will suffer." Volunteer Liang Xin (梁昕) (pseudonym) said, "During the peak of bird migration, poachers will pull up a few large nets along the mountains and waters where birds pass. A large net ten meters long can catch hundreds of birds a day without any problem. Those with ornamental value are sold at high prices, with some selling for as much as thousands of yuan each. Those that have lost their ornamental value are sold as wild game ingredients."

According to volunteers, many hunters catch birds for food, such as hawfinches, bramblings, yellow-breasted buntings, red-throated thrushes, and turtledoves. "Generally, there is more hunting for food in the south, and more raising for fun in the north."

Other volunteers said that there are also many people who shoot birds with slingshots and dig out bird nests. Some of these people are for economic gain, and some are just for entertainment.

In recent years, due to the continuous crackdown by relevant departments, although there are bird markets in some places, the transaction volume on the spot is not large, and more transactions have been transferred to underground or online, becoming more and more "circle-based" and "hidden". Some hunters only cooperate with a few fixed restaurants that operate wild game for a long time. Some buyers and sellers communicate information through WeChat groups or QQ groups, and newcomers must be introduced by members to join.

Others use short video platforms, forums, etc. to achieve transactions, usually using some means to cover up. "For example, on video platforms, they will not release photos of live animals, but will leave pictures of hunting clips, traps, etc. or the call of a certain bird. Insiders naturally know what this is for and what kind of birds are being caught and sold, so they get connected." Xiao Yu (小余), a wild bird protection volunteer in Chongqing (重庆), said.

In addition, some logistics companies also provide transportation channels for the sale of wild birds. Some sellers ship goods by express delivery, and some express companies **睁一只眼闭一只眼** (zhēng yī zhī yǎn bì yī zhī yǎn - "open one eye close one eye," to turn a blind eye) to the delivery of wild birds. Some sellers will contact familiar drivers to drive trucks to transport them, while others will ask long-distance bus drivers to carry them.

This gray industrial chain poses a great threat to the migration and survival of wild birds. Although some birds are not national protected animals, with the expansion of hunting activities, the population has declined sharply and gradually become endangered species.

"For example, the yellow-breasted bunting is mainly used as an ornamental bird in the north, but it is more popular in the south for making soup. Because artificial breeding has not yet been successfully achieved, the yellow-breasted buntings sold on the market are all caught in the wild." A volunteer told reporters that because of the decrease in numbers, the species was listed in the "National Key Protected Wild Animal List" in 2021 and belongs to the first-class national key protected wild animals.

Birds are of great significance for regulating the number of insects and pests, dispersing plant seeds, and circulating nutrients. They are also a key component of biodiversity. Protecting birds helps to protect species diversity and maintain a healthy and prosperous ecosystem. Therefore, it is imperative to increase the crackdown on illegal hunting and sales and protect wild birds. The reporter will continue to pay attention to this matter.

Fire hazards abound in card and mahjong rooms (Around Town)

In recent years, many chess and card rooms and mahjong parlors have sprung up in cities, many of them located downstairs in residential buildings. In Binhu Jiayuan, Xiangping Street, Baita District, Liaoyang City (辽阳市), Liaoning (辽宁) Province, where I live, there are several such establishments. These chess and card rooms and mahjong parlors generally divide large rooms into small private rooms with wooden boards. Some houses of more than 100 square meters can be divided into 10 small private rooms.

The ventilation in the small private rooms is very poor, and the decoration materials are mostly combustible or even flammable. These chess and card rooms and mahjong parlors are enclosed spaces, and many people smoke every day, with cigarette butts all over the floor. Due to a lack of fire safety awareness, some chess and card rooms and mahjong parlors even place fire hydrants in the private rooms for aesthetic reasons during decoration. There are no escape routes or sprinkler systems indoors, and the consequences would be disastrous if a fire were to break out.

I hope that the relevant departments will conduct a comprehensive investigation of chess and card rooms and mahjong parlors in Liaoyang City (辽阳市), rectify or even shut down those that do not meet fire safety standards, eliminate fire hazards, and ensure the safety of residents.

Mr. Liu (刘先生), Liaoyang City (辽阳市), Liaoning (辽宁) Province

Suggestion.

The key to preventing drowning among minors lies in "prevention."

As the weather gets hotter, many children like to play by the water. However, due to a lack of safety awareness, child drowning incidents often occur. Especially in rural areas, there are many unsupervised rivers, ponds, streams, and canals, and safety issues become prominent during the summer vacation.

The key to preventing drowning among minors lies in "prevention." Attention should be paid to identifying potential safety hazards. For areas and places prone to drowning accidents, such as water pits, ponds, pools, ditches, reservoirs, and rivers, there should not only be conspicuous warning signs, but also, if conditions permit, guardrails can be installed and life-saving equipment can be placed. Inspections should also be strengthened. Forces such as village officials, grid members, and volunteers can be integrated to form patrol teams to promptly dissuade minors from engaging in risky behavior.

Relevant departments should establish prevention and intervention mechanisms as early as possible, especially those responsible for water area management. Based on the characteristics and patterns of minor drowning accidents, they should identify weak links in their work, formulate and improve emergency plans, and ensure timely detection and effective handling. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and education on drowning prevention. Schools should strengthen safety education, and parents should earnestly fulfill their guardianship responsibilities, ensuring that minors master certain self-rescue and mutual-rescue skills and knowledge, and consciously stay away from dangerous water bodies.

Forcefully Rectify "Toxic Toys" Around Campuses

In recent years, many novel, interesting, and uniquely-played children's toys have emerged on the market, becoming new favorites of children. They are often sold in small shops and by mobile vendors around campuses at low prices, and many of them are "three-no" toys (no production date, no quality certificate, no manufacturer name). Some toys have risks such as excessive plasticizers and small parts falling off; some have unreasonable structural designs, such as carrot knives, which may cause harm to children's bodies and even stimulate violent tendencies; some toys have adverse guiding effects, such as cigarette cards, which may arouse children's curiosity about smoking and imitation.

It is recommended that relevant departments improve corresponding standards and laws and regulations as soon as possible, and put forward clear requirements for the materials, safety performance, and identification of toys, so as to eliminate potential safety hazards from the source. Special attention should be paid to toy sales around campuses, such as forming special law enforcement teams to patrol and inspect mobile vendors during school dismissal hours. Schools should also strictly manage daily campus life and strengthen education and guidance so that children consciously reject dangerous and harmful toys.

Why is smoking in public places still not effectively banned? (Focus on People's Concerns)

By: 孙立极 高国妍

"Some places have issued smoking bans, but enforcement is inconsistent." Ma Jingyun (马景云), a retired professor from Shenyang University (沈阳大学), wrote to this newspaper recently, saying that he has found many people smoking in public places such as shopping malls, supermarkets, barbershops, and restaurants in the city. "This not only harms the health of smokers, but also poses a greater danger to passive smokers."

Many readers share Ma Jingyun's (马景云) concerns about smoking in public places. Mr. Li from Pu'er (普洱) City, Yunnan (云南) Province, reported that some customers were smoking in restaurants in Simao (思茅) District while he was dining, "There were no no-smoking signs, and no one dissuaded customers from smoking."

Others smoke in elevators, hallways, and even school teaching buildings in office buildings and residential buildings. Ms. Liu, a reader from Shijiazhuang (石家庄) City, Hebei (河北) Province, said that on the 8th floor of the Hebei Provincial Geographic Information Group (河北省地理信息集团) office building, employees smoke in the indoor office area every day, "All staff are forced to inhale second-hand smoke." A student surnamed Li from Guizhou Normal University (贵州师范大学) reported that students often smoke in the corridors and stairwells of teaching building No. 2 during breaks.

Smoking in public places not only affects the health of surrounding people with "second-hand smoke," but also increases fire hazards. Some time ago, Ms. Yan from Zhoukou (周口) City, Henan (河南) Province, attended a friend's wedding. After arriving at the venue, Ms. Yan saw that the hall was covered with carpets, the ceiling was full of decorations, and the sprinkler system and smoke detectors were all covered. Many of the hall's decorative materials were flammable, such as fabrics and wooden shapes, and high-power lighting equipment. More seriously, many people were smoking, "Some cigarette butts were thrown on the carpet before they were extinguished. I still feel scared when I think about it now," Ms. Yan said. After Ms. Yan reported this on the "Leaders' Message Board" of People's Daily Online (人民网), the local government replied that it had organized personnel to conduct on-site verification and ordered the hotel to rectify the situation within a time limit.

The dangers of smoking are well known. "Although national regulations on smoking control in public places have not yet been issued, some laws and regulations have laid the foundation for indoor smoking bans." Wu Juan, a senior partner at Hubei Weiside Law Firm (湖北维思德律师事务所), introduced that the "Implementation Rules of the Regulations on the Administration of Hygiene in Public Places" clearly stipulates: "Smoking is prohibited in indoor public places." In addition, Beijing (北京), Shanghai (上海), Shenzhen (深圳), Wuhan (武汉) and other places have issued local smoking control regulations and formulated many specific measures. For example, in Wuhan (武汉), individuals who smoke in prohibited smoking places "may be fined 50 yuan; those who refuse to correct the behavior may be fined between 200 yuan and 500 yuan"; operators and managers of prohibited smoking places who fail to fulfill their regulatory obligations may be "fined between 2,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan; those who fail to correct the behavior within the time limit may be fined between 5,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan"; and so on.

Smoking control in public places is not without rules to follow, but the difficulty lies in the implementation and enforcement of relevant regulations. "Once in an elevator, I reminded a fellow passenger not to smoke, and the other person glared at me: 'Is it any of your business?'" Ms. Wang, a reader from Changsha (长沙) City, Hunan (湖南) Province, said. At the same time, some operators and managers of public places take a laissez-faire attitude towards smoking behavior. For example, catering companies are unwilling to offend diners and often 睁只眼、闭只眼 (zhēng zhī yǎn bì zhī yǎn - "open one eye, close one eye," to turn a blind eye) to smokers.

In addition, there are some details that the regulations fail to cover. Mr. Chen, who lives in Dongcheng (东城) District, Beijing (北京), said that on his floor, there is a smoker who smokes in the hallway all year round, and community workers and police officers have repeatedly dissuaded the smoker to no avail. The "Beijing Smoking Control Regulations" stipulates that "smoking is prohibited in indoor areas of public places and workplaces, as well as in public transportation vehicles," but "hallways of residential buildings" are not included, "There is no penalty for smoking in the hallway, at most, you can advise them not to smoke here."

Some places also have unclear responsibilities for regulatory departments. It is not clear which department is responsible for smoking control in some public places, such as smoking in public transportation vehicles, whether it is the health department or the transportation department. In this regard, Wu Juan (吴娟) suggested further clarifying the law enforcement subject, enforcement standards, and penalty procedures for smoking control in public places, and minimizing enforcement ambiguity as much as possible. Establish convenient reporting channels, regularly disclose law enforcement data, accept social supervision, and form a joint force for national smoking control. "For example, the 'Wuhan Smoking Control Regulations' stipulates that the '12345' mayor's hotline uniformly accepts consultation and complaint reports related to smoking control." She also called for accelerating the promotion of national legislation on smoking control in public places, using unified standards to eliminate regional differences and build a more complete legal system for smoking control.

He Qinghua (贺青华), executive vice president and secretary-general of the Chinese Association on Smoking Control and Health (中国控烟与健康协会), also suggested in an interview that in optimizing venue management, local governments can coordinate multiple departments to be responsible for difficult-to-ban areas such as corridors, elevators, and food streets, and at the same time set up outdoor smoking areas to guide smokers to designated areas to achieve a combination of "dredging and blocking".

Significantly Increasing Total Factor Productivity: Significance and Practical Paths (In-depth Study and Implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era - Experts Discuss Studying Volume I of "Xi Jinping's Economic Anthology")

By: 黄益平

Total factor productivity is an important evaluation indicator of high-quality development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has attached great importance to improving total factor productivity. Many articles in the first volume of *Xi Jinping's Economic Anthology* (《习近平经济文选》) have made important expositions on this. In "Deeply Understanding the New Development Concept and Promoting Supply-Side Structural Reform," it is pointed out that "the focus of supply-side structural reform is to liberate and develop social productive forces, promote structural adjustment through reform methods, reduce ineffective and low-end supply, expand effective and medium-to-high-end supply, enhance the adaptability and flexibility of the supply structure to changes in demand, and improve total factor productivity." In "China's Economy Has Shifted from a High-Speed Growth Stage to a High-Quality Development Stage," it is emphasized that "high-quality development should continuously improve labor efficiency, capital efficiency, land efficiency, resource efficiency, and environmental efficiency, continuously enhance the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress, and continuously improve total factor productivity." In "Developing the Digital Economy and Seizing the High Ground of Future Development," it is required that "we must grasp the direction of digitalization, networking, and intelligence, promote the digitalization of manufacturing, service industries, agriculture, and other industries, use new Internet technologies to comprehensively transform traditional industries across the entire chain, improve total factor productivity, and leverage the amplifying,疊加, and multiplying effects of digital technology on economic development," and so on. These important expositions provide a scientific guide for us to improve total factor productivity and promote high-quality development. Currently, China's economy is at a critical juncture of climbing slopes and overcoming obstacles in high-quality development. To transform the development mode, optimize the economic structure, and shift the growth drivers, we must take the development of new quality productive forces as the inherent requirement and important focus of promoting high-quality development, greatly improve total factor productivity, and promote the economic development to achieve quality change, efficiency change, and power change as soon as possible.

　　
Deeply Grasping the Great Significance of Greatly Improving Total Factor Productivity for Promoting High-Quality Development

　　To understand total factor productivity, we first need to understand the concept of productivity. Productivity refers to the ratio of input to output and is often used to measure the output level of unit input. From the perspective of input, productivity can be divided into single-factor productivity and total factor productivity. The former refers to the ratio of output to one factor input, such as labor productivity being the ratio of output to labor input; the latter refers to the ratio of output to comprehensive factor input, including the combination of two or more factors such as capital, labor, energy, and other factors. Since the concept of total factor productivity was proposed, many economists have conducted in-depth research on it and put forward some theoretical viewpoints and calculation methods, among which the more influential is the "Solow residual" proposed by American economist Robert Solow. Overall, total factor productivity represents the contribution of all other factors besides capital and labor factors to output, reflecting the state of resource allocation, the technical level of production means, the changes in production objects, the level of production organization and management, the enthusiasm of laborers for production and operation activities, and the degree of influence of the economic system and various social factors on production activities, which determines the level of economic intensive development and the potential growth rate. To improve total factor productivity is to increase total output by improving the quality of factors such as technology and talent and the efficiency of resource allocation under a given level of factor input.

　　From international experience, maintaining a stable and rapid growth rate of total factor productivity after a country or region has basically completed the industrialization process is an important factor for this country or region to cross the middle-income trap and enter the ranks of high-income countries. Since the 1960s, only a dozen of the more than 100 middle-income economies in the world have become high-income economies. Most developing countries and regions lack growth momentum and cannot sustain growth after their economies take off and reach a certain income level. One important reason is that these countries and regions mainly promoted rapid economic growth through imitative innovation when their income levels were low, but after reaching the middle-to-high income stage, they found it difficult to transform their development mode through original innovation, which ultimately led to economic stagnation and falling into the middle-income trap. Accompanying this is the slowdown or stagnation of total factor productivity growth. The countries and regions that have achieved success have mostly realized the transformation of economic development from quantitative expansion to qualitative improvement and achieved the improvement of total factor productivity after experiencing a stage of high-speed growth.

　　Generally speaking, the factors that promote the improvement of total factor productivity include four aspects. First, technological innovation and R&D investment. Technological innovation is the core driving force for improving total factor productivity. Strengthening investment in scientific and technological research and development and strengthening the application of new technologies can promote a more intensive and efficient production process, reduce dependence on resource factor input and the impact on the environment, and promote the optimized combination and innovative allocation of production factors, thereby improving total factor productivity. Second, institutional innovation and structural reform. Correctly handling the relationship between the government and the market, strengthening property rights protection, and optimizing the business environment can improve market mechanisms, promote factor flow, promote technology diffusion, and eliminate market distortions; at the same time, promoting enterprises to introduce advanced management concepts, methods, and tools can optimize production processes, improve management efficiency, and better adapt to market changes. These are all conducive to improving total factor productivity. Third, economic globalization and opening-up effects. Economic globalization has provided a strong impetus for world economic growth and can promote trade flows, cross-border allocation of capital, and technology diffusion spillovers through international economic and trade networks. This is not only conducive to enterprises optimizing resource allocation, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency, but also can bring advanced management experience and technical equipment to relevant countries and regions, thereby promoting the improvement of total factor productivity. Fourth, human capital accumulation. Human capital is an important carrier of knowledge creation and technological progress. Increasing investment in education and skills training can effectively improve the basic literacy and innovation ability of laborers, enhance the adaptability of laborers to job requirements, and increase the stock of human capital. In the long run, this has a significant promoting effect on improving total factor productivity.

　　Since the reform and opening up, China has started from the characteristics of its own resource endowment, made good use of the comparative advantage of abundant labor resources, attracted and undertaken a large number of labor-intensive industries in the process of actively integrating into the international division of labor system, and learned from foreign advanced technologies and made adaptive transformations through introduction, digestion, absorption, and re-innovation, rapidly narrowing the gap between China's industrial technology and the international advanced level, and embarked on a path of promoting industrialization by participating in the global division of labor in the context of economic globalization, achieving rapid economic development and continuous improvement of people's living standards. With the continuous improvement of economic development level, the internal conditions and external environment supporting China's economic development have undergone profound and complex changes. From the supply side, the old production function combination method is difficult to sustain, mainly reflected in the major changes in the supply conditions of production factors. With the continuous increase of China's capital abundance and the obvious trend characteristics of population development such as low fertility, aging, and regional population increase and decrease differentiation, the supply conditions of production factors such as capital and labor have changed greatly, the low-cost advantage of production factors has gradually weakened, and the constraints of energy, land supply, and ecological environment have intensified, making it increasingly difficult to continue to rely on factor input to promote economic growth, and the potential economic growth rate has continued to decline. From the demand side, since the 2008 international financial crisis, the external environment of China's economic development has undergone profound changes, the international circulation of markets and resources at both ends has been significantly weakened, and the role of domestic demand in driving economic growth has been continuously enhanced. In addition, the intertwining of trade protectionism, unilateralism, and geopolitical conflicts in recent years has increased the uncertainty of the world economic operation and brought many risks and challenges to China's development. This means that China's economy must break away from the traditional path of extensive expansion of productive forces development and actively expand the development space of advanced productive forces, so as to improve the quality and efficiency of economic development and continuously create and expand new market demand. The key to solving the problem lies in accelerating the development of new quality productive forces, greatly improving total factor productivity, and promoting economic development to shift from extensive development to intensive development as soon as possible.

　　
Promoting the Accelerated Development of New Quality Productive Forces by Greatly Improving Total Factor Productivity

　　Scientific and technological innovation is the core element of developing new quality productive forces, but this innovation is not imitative innovation, but original innovation and independent innovation. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out as early as 2013: "There is no way out if we always follow and imitate. We must focus on improving our independent innovation capabilities, accelerate the promotion of national major science and technology projects, deepen the promotion of knowledge innovation and technological innovation, and enhance original innovation, integrated innovation, and introduction, digestion, absorption, and re-innovation capabilities." In 2024, when presiding over the eleventh collective study of the 20th Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) made a profound exposition on what new quality productive forces are and how to develop new quality productive forces, emphasizing that "we must continue to do a good job in innovation and promote the accelerated development of new quality productive forces." Currently, China is getting closer and closer to the forefront of international economy and technology, and needs to strengthen the overall deployment and overall layout of the entire chain of scientific and technological innovation, comprehensively enhance scientific and technological strength and innovation capabilities, and rely more on original and disruptive scientific and technological innovation to develop new quality productive forces characterized by high technology, high efficiency, and high quality. Overall, new quality productive forces get rid of the traditional economic growth mode and productive forces development path, and can improve total factor productivity by promoting the optimized combination and renewal and upgrading of laborers, labor materials, and labor objects, that is, forming more and better output under a given total input. The "new" of new quality productive forces includes innovation at all levels such as technological innovation, economic innovation, enterprise innovation, industry innovation, and business model innovation. The means to cultivate new quality productive forces and improve total factor productivity can be revolutionary technological breakthroughs, innovative allocation of production factors, or in-depth industrial transformation and upgrading. The carriers of new quality productive forces can be emerging industries such as green energy and quantum communication, or high-end, intelligent, and green traditional industries such as high-end manufacturing and smart agriculture.

　　Currently, new quality productive forces have been formed in practice and have demonstrated a strong driving force and support for high-quality development. For example, in the field of artificial intelligence, China's overall development has entered the world's first echelon, and industrial application is booming. Artificial intelligence products have been rapidly applied in medical care, commerce, communication, urban management, and other aspects; in emerging fields such as drones and robots, China has products that are widely concerned by international industry and markets. Statistical data also shows the trend of accelerated development of new quality productive forces in China: in the first quarter of this year, China's industrial production growth accelerated, and the added value of industrial enterprises above the designated size nationwide increased by 6.5% year-on-year. Among them, the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 10.9% year-on-year, and the added value of the high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 9.7% year-on-year. At the same time, it needs to be seen that some emerging industries are developing rapidly, but because their volume and scale are not large enough, the accumulation of quantity has not caused effective qualitative improvement, and therefore has not been reflected in the improvement of total factor productivity. For example, in 2024, the proportion of the added value of the high-tech manufacturing industry in the added value of industrial enterprises above the designated size was only 16.3%. At the same time, some traditional industries such as real estate are still in structural adjustment, which to a certain extent has suppressed total factor productivity. This shows that China's journey to develop new quality productive forces has just begun and still has a long way to go. In addition to strengthening original innovation and independent innovation in the field of science and technology, we should pay special attention to the following aspects.

　　Further comprehensively deepen reform and expand opening up. Institutional innovation can stimulate the huge potential of scientific and technological innovation, and developing new quality productive forces must strengthen institutional innovation. Improve relevant rules and policies, accelerate the formation of a new type of production relations adapted to new quality productive forces, focus on unblocking the blockages and pain points that restrict the development of new quality productive forces, and allow various advanced and high-quality production factors to flow smoothly towards the development of new quality productive forces. At the same time, it is necessary to realize that no country in the world can completely rely on its own capabilities to innovate all technologies and industries. We must further expand opening up, promote the liberalization and facilitation of international trade and investment, strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the international academic and industrial circles, create a good international environment for the development of new quality productive forces; actively expand the objects, channels, and methods of foreign exchanges and cooperation, and at the same time concentrate efforts in some restricted areas, independently develop new technologies, and accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.

　　Follow the principle of adapting to local conditions. All localities should promote the development of new industries, new models, and new driving forces selectively according to their local resource endowments, industrial foundations, and scientific research conditions, use new technologies to transform and upgrade traditional industries, and actively promote industrial high-end, intelligent, and green development, instead of blindly launching projects. For example, new energy vehicles are a sunrise industry, but if we do not follow the principle of adapting to local conditions and blindly provide support to enterprises, it will cause waste of resources and involution competition. All localities must adhere to starting from their own reality, strictly regulate investment promotion policies, return the decision-making power of resource allocation to the market, and allow enterprises to determine industrial development strategies based on their own comparative advantages.

　　Vigorously stimulate the confidence and vitality of private enterprises. Enterprises are the main body of scientific and technological innovation. In recent years, the role of private enterprises in scientific and technological innovation has gradually increased and become increasingly significant. They are the most active in emerging industries and the most active in participating in international competition, and therefore are also an important subject in developing new quality productive forces. At present, there are more than 420,000 private enterprises among the national high-tech enterprises, accounting for more than 92%; in the "new three" (new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products) with strong exports, private enterprises contribute more than half. We must conscientiously implement the *Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting the Private Economy* (《中华人民共和国民营经济促进法》), the *Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Promoting the Development and Growth of the Private Economy* (《中共中央国务院关于促进民营经济发展壮大的意见》) and other laws, regulations, and policy measures to promote the development of the private economy, while improving the accuracy of policies, paying attention to comprehensive policy implementation, creating a policy and legal environment for the high-quality development of the private economy, and giving full play to the active role of private enterprises in developing new quality productive forces.

　　Give full play to the supporting role of finance. Finance and technological innovation have a natural connection, and the risks and uncertainties faced by technological innovation require financial institutional arrangements to help control. To this end, we must adhere to the fundamental purpose of financial services serving the real economy, make systematic and innovative arrangements for financial instruments, financial markets, and financial systems, provide financial services adapted to their development for scientific and technological innovation, and achieve the goal of improving the efficiency of financial services and controlling financial risks. Specifically, we must guide financial institutions to improve incentive and restraint mechanisms, make overall use of equity, debt, insurance, and other means to provide full-chain and full-life-cycle financial services for technology-based enterprises, and support the strengthening of manufacturing. At the same time, follow the development law of technology finance and improve the inclusiveness of supervision.

Consciously Cultivating a Good Family Style (Ideological Perspectives)

By: 王礼生

"Governing the family well leads to a stable nation." The family values of leading cadres are not a personal matter or a private family affair, but a major issue concerning the work style of cadres and the integrity of the Party and the government. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that "the deterioration of family values is often an important reason for leading cadres to engage in serious violations of discipline and the law," and he requires leading cadres to "set an example in building family values and earnestly practice self-cultivation and family management." Building family values is an important part of the work style construction of leading cadres and an important foundation for perseveringly implementing the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation. Leading cadres should consciously cultivate good family values befitting the communists of the new era.

Family values are the soul of family culture, reflecting a family's code of conduct, norms of behavior, and values. Regarding family values, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) once made a vivid analogy: "If you look closely at the characters for 'family' (家) and 'tomb' (冢), they are very similar. The difference lies in where the 'dot' is placed. This is like building a family. Higher requirements for family members and children can lead to a happy family, while lower requirements may ruin a good family." The family education and family values of leading cadres are not only related to their own advancement or retreat and the honor or disgrace of their families, but also to the Party conduct, government conduct, and social customs of the locality, field, or unit where they are located. They play a key role in creating a good political ecology and social atmosphere, with a 牵一发而动全身 (qiān yī fà ér dòng quán shēn - "move one hair affects the whole body," a slight move in one part may affect the situation as a whole) effect. Leading cadres need to understand and practice the cultivation of good family values in a combination of breaking old habits and establishing new ones.

Consciously cultivate family values that love the Party and the country. The Chinese people have always emphasized serving the country with utmost loyalty. Ancient sayings such as "If it benefits the country, I do not seek wealth" and "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" demonstrate the individual's sense of responsibility to the nation and the country. In the years of revolutionary war, mothers taught their children to fight against Japanese invaders, and wives sent their husbands to the battlefield. During the period of socialist construction, prioritizing the collective over the individual and sacrificing the small family for the big family all reflected the value pursuit of dedicating oneself to the country and presented a noble and selfless sense of national devotion. The growth of leading cadres embodies the cultivation of the organization and the high expectations of the people. They should be even more grateful and take the lead in integrating the small family into the big family, placing loyalty to the Party, dedication to the people, and serving the country in an important position in the construction of family values. Always be loyal to the Party, and influence and drive family members with loyal character, guide relatives and children to resolutely listen to the Party and follow the Party, cultivate their love for the Party and the country, and guide them to integrate the realization of personal dreams into the national dream and the ethnic dream, and contribute to the construction of Chinese-style modernization.

Consciously cultivate the family values of hard work. The situation in "Chunqiu: Zhao Tai Hou" (《触龙说赵太后》) where someone has "a high position without merit, generous compensation without labor, and possesses many important instruments" is similar to some leading cadres today who condone and acquiesce to family members using their influence to gain benefits, which is all due to privileged thinking. The power and position of leading cadres are given by the Party and the people, and are used to do things for the Party and the people. The boundary between public and private must not be blurred. Mao Zedong (毛泽东) asked his children to regard themselves as ordinary people. Zhou Enlai (周恩来) set the family rule of "not seeking personal gain and not engaging in special privileges." Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) educated his children not to "watch free shows." Yang Shanzhou (杨善洲) did not allow his family members to hitch a ride... The family values formed by the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries and advanced models in self-discipline and family management have set a benchmark for integrity and family harmony. Leading cadres must draw a red line between public and private, not only to be fair and selfless themselves, but also to educate their families not to enjoy "honor without merit" or take "compensation without labor," and not to take a penny or a thread from the public, but to rely on their own hard work to walk the path of life.

Consciously cultivate family values that value integrity and love integrity. The emergence of "crony corruption" and "family-style corruption" is due to problems in the construction of leading cadres' integrity-based family values. Some leading cadres are themselves dishonest and corrupt, leading to bad family values, and bad family values in turn fuel the flames, leading to the whole family being corrupt together. Some leading cadres have a misplaced view of family affection, regarding acquiescence and indulgence as care and compensation, and even "putting in a word" for relatives, ultimately harming themselves and others. Within the family, one should abide by one's duties and cherish family affection with sincerity. However, protecting family affection cannot become an excuse for condoning family members' violations of discipline and the law. This will not only fail to protect family affection, but will also ruin a family. Leading cadres must not only set an example, be honest and upright, and do things cleanly, but also establish a correct view of family affection, so that "love for relatives does not lead to favoritism; remembrance of the past does not lead to seeking benefits for the old; helping relatives does not lead to supporting them," and build a solid barrier to help the family be honest and prevent corruption.

Family values, as the "way to govern the family" and the "mirror of morality" for leading cadres, are related to the happiness of the family, the happiness of society, and the happiness of the country. To cultivate good family values, we must pay attention to drawing nourishment from the fine traditions of the Chinese nation's emphasis on family education, family precepts, and upright family values, the red family values of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries who were strict with themselves and cultivated themselves and managed their families, and the family values of generations of outstanding Party members and cadres who did things cleanly and managed their families with integrity, so as to cultivate good work styles with good family values, build a "firewall" to resist corruption, and add spiritual strength to starting a business.

Protecting the Fair Participation of Private Enterprises in Public Resource Transactions According to Law (In-depth Thinking)

By: 徐致远

Public resources mainly refer to resources, assets, projects, etc. that are public and beneficial, usually involving public interests and public safety, and having an important impact on enterprise production, operation, and economic and social development. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) attaches great importance to the allocation of public resources and has made a series of important expositions. For example, at the National Commendation Conference on Ethnic Unity and Progress, he called for "coordinating economic and social development plans and public resource allocation, and strengthening infrastructure construction such as transportation in border and ethnic areas"; when presiding over the symposium on promoting the rise of the central region in the new era, he called for "promoting new urbanization with counties as important carriers, and promoting the balanced allocation of public resources and the free flow of production factors between urban and rural areas"; and so on.

Public resource trading mainly allocates public resources in a market-oriented manner, which involves a wide range of interests and high social attention. The Seventh Meeting of the 19th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform pointed out: "To deepen the integration and sharing of public resource trading platforms, we must adhere to the principles of 'all should enter', unified standardization, openness and transparency, and efficient service, accelerate the full coverage of platform transactions, improve the unified classification of transaction rules, technical standards, and data specifications, innovate the transaction supervision system, promote transparent public resource transactions, and strive to improve the efficiency and fairness of public resource allocation." The "Decision" of the 20th Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee proposed: "Establish and improve a unified and standardized public resource trading platform system for bidding, government, public institutions, and state-owned enterprise procurement with information sharing, and realize the whole process of project public management." This provides us with scientific guidance and points out the direction for promoting public resource trading.

Deepening the integration and sharing of public resource trading platforms and establishing and improving the public resource trading platform system aims to provide a unified, transparent, and standardized platform for promoting the market-oriented allocation of various resource elements and the fair participation of various economic organizations in competition. This is an important measure to unblock the domestic cycle, expand domestic demand potential, and stimulate market vitality, and it is also an important support for promoting the healthy development of various ownership economies.

In recent years, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) as the core, various regions and departments have carried out a lot of work around optimizing platform settings, strengthening system construction, improving service levels, and innovating regulatory mechanisms, promoting the accelerated construction of the national public resource trading market, and forming a new situation of transactions from decentralization to centralization, rules from separation to unification, information from segmentation to sharing, and systems from separate establishment to interconnection, becoming an important part of the national unified market, and continuously showing its role in promoting the free flow and rational allocation of various factors, promoting the establishment of a fair and competitive market order, and restricting and standardizing transaction behaviors. At the same time, it should also be noted that there are still some unfair and unjust situations in public resource trading activities, especially some private enterprises are treated unfairly when participating in transactions. For example, some departments and units implement differential treatment for private enterprises based on organizational form, enterprise size, etc., evaluation rules are biased towards local enterprises and large enterprises, and conditions such as qualifications, performance, and awards that are not adapted to the characteristics and actual needs of the transaction project are set.

China's private enterprises are large in quantity and wide in scope, and are an important foundation for stabilizing the economy, the main support for stabilizing employment, and an important object for stabilizing enterprises, playing an indispensable and important role in promoting development. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's private economy has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and has continued to grow, becoming an indispensable and important force in promoting China's economic and social development.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has attached great importance to the development of private enterprises and the private economy, and has made a series of important expositions and important deployments on the healthy and high-quality development of the private economy, pointing out the direction and injecting strong impetus for doing a good job in the private economy and promoting the development and growth of the private economy. In the new era and new journey, the private economy will surely shoulder greater missions, assume heavier responsibilities, and play a greater role. Participating in public resource trading is an important way for private enterprises to open up market space, realize their own development, and integrate into national strategies, and it is also an important driving force for continuously improving their technical level and brand reputation in competition. It should be seen that the vast majority of private enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises, with small individual sizes and weak bargaining power, and are in a relatively weak position in public resource trading activities. Especially with the rise of trade protectionism and the increasing impact of external shocks, insufficient domestic effective demand and reduced transaction projects, some private enterprises have fewer opportunities to obtain projects and lower profits, and face difficulties in operation and development. Only by taking targeted measures to ensure that private enterprises participate in public resource trading activities equally and obtain transaction opportunities equally can we inject "source of living water" into their survival and development. Article 14 of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Promoting the Private Economy," which came into effect on May 20 this year, stipulates: "Public resource trading activities shall be open, transparent, fair, and just, and shall treat all types of economic organizations, including private economic organizations, equally in accordance with the law. Unless otherwise provided by law, public resource transactions such as bidding and government procurement shall not have any acts that restrict or exclude private economic organizations." This puts forward clear requirements at the legal level for treating all types of economic organizations, including private economic organizations, equally in public resource trading activities, and will provide strong legal guarantees for private enterprises to participate fairly in market competition such as bidding and government procurement.

To implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, we must take the promulgation and implementation of the Law on Promoting the Private Economy as an opportunity to optimize the development environment of the private economy, vigorously do a good job in public resource trading, build a unified, standardized, information-sharing, and transparent public resource trading platform system, further break down market barriers, reduce transaction costs, improve service quality, strengthen fair supervision, ensure that private enterprises participate in public resource trading activities equally, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of resource allocation, and ensure that all types of economic organizations participate in market competition fairly. Specific efforts can be made in the following aspects. First, strictly implement the provisions of the "Regulations on Fair Competition Review," strengthen fair competition review in the field of public resource trading, further break down unreasonable restrictions and hidden barriers, standardize competition order, and ensure that all types of economic organizations obtain transaction opportunities equally. Second, continue to deepen the integration and sharing of public resource trading platforms, promote electronic and intelligent transactions, further improve service levels, reduce transaction costs, and provide high-quality platform support for various economic organizations to participate in public resource trading activities, and use the platform's intelligence and efficiency to promote better play of the decisive role of the market in resource allocation and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public resource allocation. Third, strengthen fair competition supervision and law enforcement, increase the disclosure of transaction information, unblock complaint and reporting channels, build a digital regulatory network, actively use big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technical means to timely discover and correct illegal and non-compliant behaviors that hinder fair competition in public resource transactions, protect the legitimate rights and interests of various transaction entities in accordance with the law, and support the development and growth of the private economy.

Strengthening full-chain food safety supervision to safeguard food safety with all efforts.

By: 罗 文

Food safety is the foundation of people's livelihood and the basis of development. It is not only related to the health and safety of the people, but also an important guarantee for building a modern socialist country in all respects. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Use the most stringent standards, the strictest supervision, the most severe punishments, and the most serious accountability to ensure the 'safety on the tip of the tongue' of the broad masses of the people."

Recently, the "Opinions of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council on Further Strengthening the Full-Chain Supervision of Food Safety" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") was officially issued. This is a milestone event in the history of food safety development, marking that China's food safety governance has entered a new stage of coordinating the entire chain, entire cycle, and all elements.

In-depth implementation of the spirit of the "Opinions" and further strengthening of the full-chain supervision from farmland to table are not only an inevitable requirement for practicing the concept of "people first, life first," but also an important practice for promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities.

Promote the Upgrade of Food Safety to System Governance

Strengthening full-chain supervision is a powerful measure to implement the "Four Strictest Requirements." The "Opinions" take full-chain supervision as the entry point, and run the "Four Strictest Requirements" through all links of food production, circulation, storage, and consumption, promoting food safety governance from post-event disposal to pre-event prevention, and from partial control to system governance. Through the interlocking of the entire chain and the implementation of strict supervision, we can truly consolidate the main responsibilities of all links, ensure that food safety governance leaves no dead ends and no blind spots, and effectively achieve prevention-oriented, risk management, and full-process control.

Strengthening full-chain supervision is an urgent need to adapt to the new situation of food safety. With the rapid development of the digital economy, the food industry is accelerating its transformation towards digitalized production, networked circulation, and scenario-based consumption. The emergence of new business forms such as online food ordering, live streaming e-commerce, private domain e-commerce, and community group buying poses severe challenges to the traditional segmented and localized regulatory model. The "Opinions" contain the regulatory concept of "full-process penetration and technology-driven," and the goal is to integrate departmental efforts to establish a dynamic risk early warning model based on artificial intelligence, implement all-weather and all-element monitoring and intelligent research and judgment on high-risk categories and key areas, and promote the transformation of supervision from passive response to active prevention. It aims to build a regulatory system that is interconnected between departments and integrated online and offline, providing institutional support for the standardized development of new food business forms, demonstrating the foresight and adaptability of regulatory policies.

Strengthening full-chain supervision is a necessary requirement for preventing complex risks. Food safety risks have the complexity of cross-regional, cross-link, and cross-field transmission, and the traditional segmented regulatory model is prone to problems such as overlapping responsibilities and regulatory gaps. In recent years, problems such as excessive pesticide and veterinary drug residues, illegal additions, and false advertising still exist, and new problems in live streaming e-commerce and chain catering continue to emerge, making it urgent to build a more stringent risk prevention and control system covering the entire chain. The "Opinions" promote the formation of a regulatory closed loop that is traceable at the source, controllable in the process, preventable in risks, and accountable, by strengthening departmental coordination, information sharing, and shared responsibility, which is conducive to solving pain points such as insufficient regulatory coordination and unsmooth information exchange, and provides a systematic solution for preventing complex risks.

Accurately Grasp the Key Measures of Full-Chain Supervision

New systems have been created to address regulatory blind spots. The "Opinions" create regulatory rules adapted to industrial development for regulatory gaps in areas such as food transportation, postal delivery, and cross-border e-commerce. First, establish a permit system for the transportation of bulk liquid food, standardize risk control in the transportation link, clarify the technical standards of transportation vehicles and the qualification requirements of practitioners, and implement "special vehicles for special purposes, one vehicle one file" management. Second, improve the food delivery safety prevention and control mechanism, strengthen the responsibility chain for online food ordering and delivery, require postal companies to implement the receipt and inspection system, promote real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity in the delivery link, and prevent the risk of food contamination and deterioration. Third, improve the joint prevention and control system for import food risks, implement a negative list management for cross-border e-commerce, clarify the prohibition of importing high-risk categories, and consolidate the platform's responsibility for quality and safety review. These systems fill the gaps in traditional supervision, draw a bottom line and clarify the direction for the healthy development of the food industry and new business forms, reflecting the governance concept of combining inclusive prudence and bottom-line thinking.

Seamless connection has been strengthened for departmental coordination. The "Opinions" systematically sorts out departmental responsibilities, focusing on strengthening coordination in three aspects: First, improve the connection mechanism between the access and entry of edible agricultural products, promote the interconnection of the commitment to meet the standard certificate issued by the agricultural and rural departments and the market access data of the market supervision departments, and unblock the traceability blockages in the circulation of edible agricultural products. Second, establish a multi-department joint supervision system for centralized dining units, and the education, civil affairs, health, and market supervision departments will jointly formulate construction standards for canteens in schools, elderly care institutions, and medical institutions to achieve a closed loop of responsibility for the entire process of food procurement, processing and production, and meal distribution. Third, build a "four-in-one" risk prevention and control system for imported food, and promote the seamless connection of customs port quarantine, market supervision circulation traceability, health risk monitoring, and agricultural and rural source assessment. Through the deepening of cross-departmental coordination mechanisms, promote the transformation of food safety governance from single supervision to comprehensive governance, and form a governance pattern of information sharing, risk co-prevention, and responsibility sharing.

Regulatory norms have been clarified for relevant entities. The "Opinions" break through the limitations of traditional regulatory objects and incorporate entities such as transportation, storage, and distribution into the regulatory system. First, implement electronic waybill management for food transportation, requiring transportation companies to upload vehicle trajectory and temperature and humidity data in real time to achieve transparent and visual supervision of the transportation process. Second, implement a third-party warehousing service filing system, clarify the obligation of warehousing companies to conduct regular self-inspections, and prevent illegal storage and tampering with expiration dates. Third, consolidate the hygiene standards for the delivery link of takeaway platforms, require daily disinfection of delivery boxes and full coverage of meal seals to ensure that meals are safely delivered to consumers. Through the extension of full-chain responsibility, a governance situation of full coverage of entities and full control of the process is formed, effectively solving the problem of broken responsibility chains.

Special provisions have been made for key areas. The "Opinions" classify policies and accurately focus on hot issues of public concern. First, establish an information system for meat product quarantine, promote the networked management of electronic animal quarantine certificates and meat product quality inspection certificates, and achieve traceability of the entire process of slaughter, transportation, and sales. Second, strengthen the qualification review of online food ordering platforms, promote "Internet + Bright Kitchen and Stove" visual supervision, require platforms to implement dynamic credit rating for merchants stationed in the platform; improve the online food sales filing and publicity system, clarify the qualification publicity obligations of live streaming food operators, and improve the mechanism for removing and recalling non-compliant products. Third, improve the campus food safety management system, promote the implementation of centralized procurement of bulk ingredients, principal accompanying meals, and parental supervision, and build a co-governance system of government supervision, school responsibility, and social participation. These measures directly address governance difficulties and clarify regulatory requirements in key areas, reflecting the governance wisdom of being problem-oriented.

Effectively Enhance Food Safety Governance Capabilities

Improve supporting systems and strengthen the rule of law guarantee. Promote the revision of the Food Safety Law and its implementation regulations, transform the innovative measures of full-chain supervision into legal norms, and provide rigid constraints for regulatory law enforcement. Promote relevant departments to improve the various supporting systems for implementing full-chain supervision, accelerate the formulation of detailed rules for online food sales and cross-border e-commerce supervision, clarify technical standards and operating specifications, refine the access conditions, process monitoring, and exit mechanisms for emerging business forms, and ensure that supervision is based on law.

Deepen synergy and linkage, and gather regulatory synergy. Give full play to the overall coordination role of the Food Safety Office of the State Council, improve the cross-departmental consultation and joint law enforcement mechanism, and carry out special rectification actions in key areas such as meat products, fake and inferior food in rural areas, and campus food. Establish a food safety information sharing platform, integrate departmental regulatory data, and realize real-time push of risk clues and timely feedback of disposal results. Through normalized cooperation, build a collaborative, cooperative, and coordinated working pattern, and effectively improve the effectiveness of full-chain supervision.

Strengthen supervision and assessment, and consolidate the responsibilities of all parties. Promote local governments to strictly implement the requirements of the same responsibility for the party and government, incorporate full-chain supervision into the assessment system, give full play to the "baton" role of assessment, and ensure that the food safety responsibilities at all levels are implemented to positions and people. Strictly implement the "Four Strictest Requirements," increase the intensity of daily supervision and inspection and supervision and assessment, promote the comprehensive implementation of various systems and measures in the "Opinions," and seriously hold accountable and question those who neglect their duties and dereliction of duty, forming a closed loop of responsibility.

Strengthen support and guarantees, and improve governance effectiveness. Accelerate the construction of a national food safety public technology support platform, and strengthen the construction of food safety supervision infrastructure at all levels. Improve the food safety science and technology innovation system, accelerate the application and innovation of information technology, comprehensively use new artificial intelligence technologies, empower the entire chain and all links of food safety supervision, promote the comprehensive leap in the level of intelligent supervision and law enforcement, and effectively enhance food safety governance capabilities.

Food safety is a major responsibility. We must implement it with a sense of responsibility of "always being uneasy" and the spirit of nailing nails, focus on building a modern regulatory system covering the entire chain, promote the transformation of institutional advantages into governance effectiveness, effectively build a food safety defense line, let the people eat with confidence and peace of mind, and build a solid foundation for people's livelihood and safety for promoting Chinese-style modernization.

Moving from "Price Wars" to "Design Battles" (Economic Focus)

By: 本报记者   顾  春

In the livestreaming room of Ouchao Clothing Co., Ltd. (讴潮服饰有限公司) in Haining City (海宁市), Zhejiang Province (浙江省), the host is showcasing a new leather jacket in front of the mobile phone screen. A line of bullet comments pops up: "Why are your clothes more expensive than similar ones from other stores?" The host opens the clothing tag, scans the QR code on it, and a design patent certificate is displayed: "The style of this garment is originally designed by our company, please be careful not to buy fakes."

In Haining City (海宁市), every original design garment that has obtained design patent authorization and copyright registration can apply to use the "Zhiyuan Code" (知源码). Consumers can scan the code to obtain patent certificates, designer information, and more.

Distributing 26,000 "Zhiyuan Codes" to achieve one-item-one-code binding association.

Currently, more than 620 clothing companies in Haining City (海宁市) have registered as "Zhiyuan Code" (知源码) users, achieving one-item-one-code binding association, with more than 26,000 codes distributed. Since 2023, the city has fully implemented the "Full-Chain Protection Service for Intellectual Property in the Fashion Industry" reform, establishing a Rapid Intellectual Property Rights Protection Center (知识产权快速维权中心) (hereinafter referred to as "Rapid Protection Center" (快维中心)). If companies discover piracy, they can report it, and dedicated personnel from the Rapid Protection Center (快维中心) will conduct professional comparisons and provide opinions on whether there is infringement.

"Clothing is highly seasonal, and it takes a long time to lock in plagiarism, investigate, and collect evidence. By the time the lawsuit reaches the court, the clothes are already out of season," said Zheng Juhe (郑巨河), Deputy General Manager of Zhejiang Jufeng Fashion Co., Ltd. (浙江聚丰时装有限公司). "Now with the Rapid Protection Center (快维中心), we have defended our rights more than a dozen times since 2023, effectively protecting our intellectual property rights."

From its official operation in November 2022 to the end of 2024, the Rapid Protection Center (快维中心) has provided enterprises with more than 80 opinions on judgment and retrieval consultation, and successfully mediated 484 intellectual property dispute cases.

Since plagiarism and infringement in remote sales and online sales cannot be resolved locally, in 2024, Haining Leather City (海宁皮革城) took the lead in establishing the Fashion Industry Intellectual Property Alliance (时尚产业知识产权联盟). "The alliance screens cases and entrusts them to specialized third-party law firms to help companies defend their rights in other places through risk agency and completion-based revenue sharing," said Zhao Suliang (赵苏良), head of the Intellectual Property Section of the Haining Municipal Market Supervision Bureau (海宁市市场监管局).

The demand for designers is growing rapidly, and more than 70% of apparel companies have full-time designers.

To support originality, Haining Leather City (海宁皮革城) specifically stipulates that infringement situations are written into the annual lease contracts of merchants. Merchants who repeatedly copy and fail to correct their behavior will face penalties such as deduction of security deposits and suspension of business.

"Many international well-known brands are OEM in Haining (海宁), where the production capacity is strong, but there is a lack of brands and designs. Only by supporting originality can we continue to leap to the upstream of the global fashion industry chain," said Zhu Zhongping (朱忠平), General Manager of Haining China Leather City Operation and Management Co., Ltd. (海宁中国皮革城经营管理有限公司).

"I have been making clothes for more than 20 years. I heard that Haining (海宁)'s intellectual property protection is doing well, so I moved the company here," said Xu Jianping (徐建平), the head of a clothing production company. His company has designers and also buys out styles from third-party designers every year. In 2024, the number of exclusively bought-out styles increased by 30%.

"Design is a key link in the clothing industry. Only by adhering to independent originality to enhance the added value of products can we promote the industry to flourish," said Zhu Zhongping (朱忠平). In 2024, Haining Leather City (海宁皮革城) renovated more than 230 more shops than in 2023, more than 70% of which were old shops renovated and began to display more new styles. At the same time, the demand for designers by enterprises is also increasing rapidly.

Haining (海宁) has cumulatively attracted nearly 10,000 full-time design personnel such as designers and pattern makers, and more than 70% of the city's apparel companies have full-time designers. Liu Yingxiaojing (刘颖晓静), head of Haining Fengou Clothing Design Co., Ltd. (海宁丰欧服装设计有限公司), said that from design to pattern making, sample clothes, fabrics and other series of links, the research and development cost of each style is basically about 8,000 yuan, and the company designs about 1,200 styles every year, with design costs reaching millions of yuan. "Original design is protected, effectively guaranteeing the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and everyone is more confident," said Liu Yingxiaojing (刘颖晓静).

No longer worried about being copied, companies continue to launch "good designs."

"The previous plagiarism and infringement have basically disappeared, and the most rewarding thing is definitely the enterprise," said Zheng Juhe (郑巨河). This greatly increases the company's confidence in launching new models and increasing marketing efforts.

As the concept of patent protection is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the role of commercial cooperation is becoming more and more important. A considerable part of infringement disputes have been quickly resolved through the active mediation of intellectual property management departments by converting infringement compensation into the next year's design company cooperation intention gold. Liu Yingxiaojing (刘颖晓静) said: "In 2023, nine out of ten companies that compensated us for infringement became our cooperative customers in 2024."

Ms. Wu (吴女士) infringed on the original style of a design company in 2023. At that time, both parties confirmed through mediation and consultation that the dispute would be resolved by purchasing the design company's new annual product design for 30,000 yuan. In 2024, Ms. Wu (吴女士) not only obtained the patented design style from the design company as originally agreed, but also added several of the latest design styles and signed a patent license agreement with the design company. "We do apparel wholesale, and it is very important to determine the style every year. Having a patent means having the right to price. If you choose a popular style, you can sell it for at least one or two months longer under patent protection and obtain considerable profits," said Ms. Wu (吴女士), who has gradually become a supporter of patent protection.

Good intellectual property protection allows enterprises to focus and launch "good designs" with more confidence. Since 2024, a group of design companies that first felt the advantages of design patent protection have begun to actively try new sales methods such as exclusive customization of design style ownership and equity participation in design patent cooperation, and have achieved gratifying results. "Production enterprises are gradually abandoning the old ways of imitation and price competition, recognizing the value of design and the works of designers. We are now particularly confident!" said Liu Yingxiaojing (刘颖晓静).

Small sea cucumbers leverage a 30 billion yuan industry chain.

By: 本报记者  胡婧怡

In the Shasha sea area of Wafangdian City (瓦房店市), Dalian (大连), Liaoning (辽宁), divers emerge from the sea, and the waiting fishing boats approach to pull them aboard. Subsequently, plump and fresh sea cucumbers are poured out of the baskets... From mid-May to the end of June every year is the fishing season for Dalian sea cucumbers. As the sea cucumbers that have been dormant for several months gradually awaken, the fishing work in the nine major production areas of Dalian city has also begun.

In 2024, the sea cucumber farming area in Dalian reached 2.18 million mu, with an output of 82,000 tons, accounting for nearly 29% of the national total. The annual output value of the entire sea cucumber industry chain, including breeding, farming, processing, and sales, exceeds 30 billion yuan, driving employment for over 300,000 people.

How does a small sea cucumber leverage a 30 billion yuan industrial chain?

"We take fine variety breeding, modern ecological farming, and intensive processing technology as breakthroughs to promote the sea cucumber industry to achieve both quantity and quality improvement," said Qin Qiang (秦强), Deputy Director of the Dalian Municipal Bureau of Ocean Development (大连市海洋发展局).

At the Modern Aquatic Seed Breeding Center of Dalian Ocean University (大连海洋大学), new strains selected for sea cucumber yield increase, stress resistance, and quality improvement are in different stages of iteration. "Based on the original sea cucumber species, we use artificial selection and other methods to cultivate farmed varieties with better economic traits," introduced Chang Yaqing (常亚青), Director of the National Sea Cucumber Genetic Breeding Center of Dalian Ocean University (大连海洋大学国家级刺参遗传育种中心). Dalian started early in the field of fine variety cultivation, and the "Shuiyuan No. 1 (水院1号)" selected by him and his team has a survival rate and growth rate more than 30% higher than the original varieties.

Dalian strengthens the protection and utilization of sea cucumber germplasm resources, promotes the integrated development of "production, learning, research, and application," and clarifies the use of awards instead of subsidies to encourage the construction of aquatic original and improved seed farms and the identification of new varieties. At present, the city has built 1 national-level sea cucumber original seed farm, 2 sea cucumber germplasm resource farms, and 13 provincial-level sea cucumber improved seed farms.

In Pingdao National Marine Ranch (平岛国家级海洋牧场) in Pulandian District (普兰店区), Dalian, under the 37,500 mu sea surface, the confluence of cold and warm currents brings rich nutrients and algae, providing sufficient natural bait for sea cucumber growth. "We increase seaweed by投放人工鱼礁 (tóu fàng rén gōng yú jiāo - "placing artificial reefs," deploying artificial reefs to enhance marine life) and use the Internet of Things to monitor underwater environment and water quality in real time," introduced Wei Dong (魏东), General Manager of Dalian Xinyulong Marine Biological Seed Industry Technology Co., Ltd. (大连鑫玉龙海洋生物种业科技股份有限公司).

In order to effectively match market demand, Dalian promotes the construction of 32 national-level marine ranch demonstration zones, and actively carries out publicity, training, and technical guidance services for green and organic certification to improve industry quality standards and economic value. At present, the green food certified production area of Dalian sea cucumber is 83,100 mu, and the organic food certified production area is 297,000 mu.

Processing capacity is an important factor restricting the development of the sea cucumber industry. In the standardized processing plant of Liaoshen Group (辽参集团), fresh sea cucumbers achieve seamless connection from fishing to processing. Processes such as cleaning, gutting, steaming, salting, and quick freezing are completed in one go. The highly automated and collaborative processing line can process 700,000 jin of fresh sea cucumbers per day.

Picking up a can of ready-to-eat fresh stewed sea cucumber and scanning the traceability code on it, the entire process log and professional test report from breeding and farming to processing are presented. Yu Jinkui (于金魁), Brand Development Center Director of Liaoshen Group (辽参集团), said: "Consumers not only pursue deliciousness, but also want to eat with confidence."

Develop intensive processing and promote the standardized and regulated development of the industry. At present, Dalian has more than 50 sea cucumber intensive processing enterprises, and processed products have formed four major categories and more than a dozen varieties, such as salted sea cucumber, dried sea cucumber, and ready-to-eat sea cucumber.

In May of this year, Dalian released a three-year action plan for the high-quality development of the sea cucumber industry, covering 10 actions including seed industry improvement, standard improvement, digital transformation, and credit system construction. "We must take science and technology as the guide and implement the concept of quality first throughout the entire sea cucumber industry chain to inject strong impetus into industrial development," said Zhou Zhenlei (周振雷), Deputy Mayor of Dalian (大连市).

China's foreign exchange reserves stand at $3.2853 trillion.

This newspaper Beijing (北京) June 8th (Reporter Ge Mengchao (葛孟超)) - The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (国家外汇管理局) statistical data shows that as of the end of May, China's (我国) foreign exchange reserve scale was 3,285.3 billion US dollars, an increase of 3.6 billion US dollars compared with the end of April, with an increase of 0.11%.

In May 2025, affected by factors such as the fiscal policies, monetary policies, and economic growth prospects of major economies, the US dollar index fluctuated slightly, and global financial asset prices showed mixed gains and losses. The comprehensive effect of exchange rate conversion and asset price changes led to an increase in the scale of foreign exchange reserves in that month. China's (我国) economy continues to recover and improve, and the quality of economic development is steadily improving, providing support for maintaining the basic stability of the scale of foreign exchange reserves. 稳步提升 (wěn bù tí shēng - "steady step promote," steadily improve).

The Radio Wave Never Dies, Its Spirit Endures Through Generations (Dialogue Across Time and Space)

By: 本报记者 王欣悦

"Chong, chong, chong, let's all charge forward, what are we afraid of, airplanes bombing, cannons roaring..." In Yangjiaping Subdistrict, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing (重庆市九龙坡区杨家坪街道), when the door of Wanzhong's (万众一) home was pushed open, this 95-year-old veteran of the New Fourth Army (新四军) was sitting upright on the sofa in formal attire, humming the children's song that was popular in the Anti-Japanese Children's Corps (抗日儿童团) back then.

When he saw the reporter, he suddenly straightened his slightly hunched back. Accompanied by the rhythm of the song, the war-torn years of the War of Resistance against Japan seemed to reappear before the old man's eyes.

In 1939, Wanzhongyi, who was only 9 years old, joined the Anti-Japanese Children's Corps. At the age of 15, he became a telegraph operator and joined the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), undertaking telegraph transmission and reception work during the War of Resistance against Japan and the Liberation War.

What was the work of the Anti-Japanese Children's Corps?

"Standing guard, keeping watch, delivering letters, passing intelligence to our army, and also doing some logistical work."

In February 1930, Wanzhongyi was born into a poor peasant family in Yingcheng (应城), Hubei (湖北). "When I was a child, I studied in a private school while herding cattle. When I was 8 years old, the Japanese devils came to the village to 'sweep' and snatched my family's cattle," Wanzhongyi recalled. "My father died early, and there were only my mother and elder brother in the family. Losing the cattle made the whole family cry."

In 1938, the Japanese army occupied the three towns of Wuhan (武汉三镇). Witnessing the numerous atrocities of the Japanese army, Wanzhongyi developed the idea of joining the army to resist Japan. However, because he was too young, he was unable to fulfill his wish.

In 1939, 9-year-old Wanzhongyi joined the Anti-Japanese Children's Corps. "My job was mainly to help the troops clean the houses of the common people where they stayed that day, and to help the cooks with odd jobs such as burning firewood, serving food, and taking bowls and chopsticks," Wanzhongyi said.

When the Japanese army "swept" through, they always thought that children were young and easily coaxed and threatened, and often forced them to ask "Who is the cadre?" "Where are the food and guns hidden?". "But the Anti-Japanese Children's Corps, which has received patriotic education and is organized and disciplined, will not be fooled by the enemy," Wanzhongyi said. "We have a 'five no' agreement: do not be fooled by the Japanese army, do not read Japanese books, do not tell the Japanese army a word of truth, do not work for the Japanese army, and do not be a slave to the country."

Under the influence of the Communist Party of China's (中国共产党) ideas of resisting Japan and saving the country, the Anti-Japanese Children's Corps widely united children aged 7 to 14 to devote themselves to the War of Resistance, becoming a major innovation in the mass work of resisting Japan. "Using the advantage that children are not easy to attract attention, my teammates and I stand guard, keep watch, deliver letters, pass intelligence to our army, and also do some logistical work every day, such as helping to deliver food in the hospital," Wanzhongyi said.

As he spoke, Wanzhongyi couldn't help but sing the anti-Japanese song again: "The Japanese devils' cannons have entered our home. They killed my father and shot my dear mother. What's the use of crying? Join the Anti-Japanese Army, and it will be the glory of our children to drive away the devils."

How did you grow into a telegraph operator?

"It was commonplace to climb mountains in the dark and learn while evading the enemy."

In the center of the living room, a black and white photo is particularly eye-catching. In the photo, Wanzhongyi is wearing a wide cotton military uniform with neat leggings at his ankles. "This is a group photo of me and Comrade Li Xiannian (李先念同志) in Xuanhuadian (宣化店) when I was 15 years old." Stroking the photo, Wanzhongyi said tremblingly, "There is also a special memory between me and Li Xiannian."

In 1939, Li Xiannian led his troops to carry out guerrilla warfare in Hubei and stayed in Wanzhongyi's home. "My name 'Zhongyi (众一)', which means 'Wanzhong Yixin (万众一心)', was changed for me by Comrade Li Xiannian," Wanzhongyi said. His mother heard that the Communist Party (共产党) was working for the poor, and that children from poor families could go to school without paying money and could also fill their stomachs, so she hoped that Li Xiannian would take him away. Li Xiannian immediately agreed.

At first, Wanzhongyi was engaged in logistical work in the army, such as fetching water, serving food, and washing clothes. Later, Hongshan Public School (洪山公学) was opened, and Wanzhongyi was able to go to school. At that time, due to frequent wars and turbulent situations, the school was in a state of "guerrilla warfare" all year round. There were no fixed places and production bases, and teachers and students had to move frequently, and they could only dig wild vegetables to eat during the march.

"Because the environment was very unstable, we had to take turns standing guard when we arrived at the campsite in the middle of the night." Recalling that difficult time of studying, Wanzhongyi said, "Wu Yue (吴越), the instructor who took me away from home at that time, gave me a very precious set of learning tools - a fountain pen, a bottle of blue ink, a small notebook and a cloth bag."

"The enemy's 'sweeping' became more and more brutal day by day, and our school could hardly have a day of peace." Wanzhongyi recalled that in just five or six months, the teachers and students of Hongshan Public School had moved to Huanggang (黄冈), Huang'an (黄安), Macheng (麻城), Biannan (陂安南), Huangpi (黄陂), Lishan (礼山), Xiaogan (孝感) and other places. "We often lost our shoes on the way, blisters formed on our feet, and it was commonplace to climb mountains in the dark and learn while evading the enemy," Wanzhongyi said.

In August 1944, Wanzhongyi was transferred to the Fifth Division Headquarters (第五师司令部) of the New Fourth Army (新四军) to learn to send and receive telegrams. Since then, he has had a relationship with telegrams for most of his life.

After being transferred to the telegraph operator training team for training, Wanzhongyi still maintained this state of "military-style learning." "In addition to their own clothes, our students carried a few sheets of rough-edged paper, a small pencil, and a small wooden board that they occasionally picked up. During the break, the instructor would whistle, and we would each sit on our own small baggage, put the small wooden board on our knees, and start copying the telegram." In this environment, Wanzhongyi gradually grew into an excellent radio telegraph operator.

"The days were extremely difficult, but the soldiers gritted their teeth and persevered." Wanzhongyi said, "Although the telegraph operators don't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, on the battlefield without gunpowder smoke, telegrams are an important bridge for transmitting intelligence and serving the troops in combat, and we feel that the burden on our shoulders is heavy."

In 1945, Wanzhongyi received a telegram that everyone was looking forward to. "The Japanese army surrendered, and I was so happy! As soon as our telegraph department received the telegram, we immediately handed it over to the confidential department for translation. Everyone had waited too long for this moment," tears welled up in Wanzhongyi's eyes.

What do you want to say to young people the most?

"When the country is strong, individuals have dignity."

"Dear children, I hope you cherish the hard-won good days. When you encounter difficulties, think about the days when your predecessors chewed on tree bark and fought with bayonets, what kind of obstacle can't you overcome? Remember that when the country is strong, individuals have dignity. Now you don't need to charge anymore, but this spirit of hard bones must still be passed down." When asked what he wanted to say to young people the most, Wanzhongyi picked up a piece of white paper and solemnly wrote these words.

In 1951, when the troops called for marching into Tibet (西藏), 21-year-old Wanzhongyi volunteered and was transferred to the post of Director of Communications of the 18th Army (十八军), following Zhang Guohua (张国华), the commander of the 18th Army, to send red radio waves on the roof of the world. After being transferred to Chongqing (重庆), Wanzhongyi worked in the Municipal Telecommunications Bureau (市电信局), the Municipal Knitting Company (市针织公司) and other departments. After retiring, he was still ambitious: he founded a special publication of the National Knitting Industry Association and promoted the establishment of the Chongqing Non-public Economic Promotion Association (重庆市非公有制经济促进会).

When communicating with young people from Chongqing University of Science and Technology (重庆科技大学), he said: "A person should shine his own light like a star when he is alive." During the War of Resistance against Japan, Wanzhongyi transmitted intelligence; in the peaceful era, he transmitted spirit. These two forces transcend time and space and inspire people's hearts.

"My only wish is that the motherland will become more prosperous and the people's lives will become better." At the end of the interview, Wanzhongyi looked at the potted plants sprouting new buds on the windowsill, his eyes full of longing.

Promoting the Integrated Development of Scientific and Technological Innovation and Industrial Innovation (Investigation and Research, Building Consensus)

By: 本报记者 尹晓宇

Technological innovation and industrial innovation are the fundamental paths to developing new quality productive forces. To integrate technological innovation and industrial innovation, it is necessary to build platforms, improve systems and mechanisms, strengthen the principal position of enterprises in innovation, and ensure seamless connection between the innovation chain and the industrial chain.

Entrusted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Jiang Zuojun (蒋作君), Chairman of the China Zhi Gong Party Central Committee, and Zhang Endi (张恩迪), Executive Vice Chairman of the China Zhi Gong Party Central Committee, led a research team to Jiangsu and Hunan to conduct research on the theme of "Promoting the Integrated Development of Technological Innovation and Industrial Innovation" and focusing on "Strengthening Enterprise-led Technological Innovation and Promoting High-level Opening-up to the Outside World," leveraging the characteristics of overseas Chinese.

Going Deep into the Front Lines to Diagnose Enterprise Innovation

At the Dangxiong 110 kV Substation in Lhasa (拉萨市), Tibet, and the Saga 220 kV Substation in Shigatse (日喀则市), both located more than 4,000 meters above sea level, the first set of grid-side ultra-capacity grid-forming SVG projects in China, supported by the State Grid Nanjing Automation Co., Ltd. (国家电网南瑞集团), have increased the local power supply capacity by approximately 30,000 kilowatts and the new energy absorption capacity by approximately 29,000 kilowatts. In the Zhangbei Flexible DC Grid Major Demonstration Project, Nanjing Automation applied grid-forming flexible DC equipment to solve the technical problem of large-scale isolated island new energy transmission and proposed a "China Solution" for large-scale new energy consumption.

At State Grid Nanjing Automation Co., Ltd., the research team carefully learned about the company's innovation history, from catching up to matching and then surpassing. As a high-tech enterprise in the field of energy Internet, State Grid Nanjing Automation Co., Ltd. adheres to independent innovation, constantly breaks foreign technology monopolies, achieves international leadership and independent control of core technologies and equipment, and firmly safeguards the safety of the national power grid. The research team also noted that many of the company's innovations have become global industry standards.

The Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission introduced that, with the main focus on building an industrial technology innovation center with global influence, Jiangsu's regional innovation capability rose to second place in the country in 2024. Vigorously cultivate strategic emerging industry clusters, promote the clustered development of future industries, accelerate the construction of an innovative enterprise matrix, select and cultivate more than 1,700 high-growth enterprises in future industries, and coordinate and promote the R&D investment of four enterprises, including Hengtong Group (亨通集团) and Trina Solar (天合光能), to exceed 5 billion yuan, and coordinate and promote key enterprises in the fields of integrated circuits and biomedicine to undertake 47 national core technology tackling projects.

Zhuzhou Times New Material Technology Co., Ltd. (株洲时代新材料科技股份有限公司) has established a three-level R&D system of "basic research - application development - engineering verification," constructed a complete innovation chain from material design to engineering transformation, and achieved an annual technology achievement transformation rate of more than 75%, leading the industry's technological progress and breakthroughs in original technology.

The Hunan Provincial Development and Reform Commission introduced that it supports leading enterprises, universities, and research institutes to form innovation consortia. Hunan has cumulatively laid out 1,063 innovation platforms, including 80 national-level innovation platforms. It supports leading enterprises to lead the construction of major projects. At the same time, relying on the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan (长株潭) urban agglomeration national production-education integration pilot, Hunan is exploring and promoting six types of school-enterprise cooperation models, supporting universities to contact 1,282 school-enterprise cooperation units, laying out 540 provincial-level production-education integration enterprises, and improving the production-education integration innovation carrier.

Getting to the Bottom of Things to Deeply Explore Integration Bottlenecks

How can technological innovation be combined with industrial innovation? What are the bottlenecks in the transformation of technological innovation? How can enterprises' R&D needs be connected with innovative talents? The research team got to the bottom of things at research sites such as the Intelligent Manufacturing Longcheng Laboratory (智能制造龙城实验室) and the Yangtze River Delta Carbon Fiber and Composite Materials Technology Innovation Center (长三角碳纤维及复合材料技术创新中心).

"What is our technical level in the world? What problems need to be solved urgently?" At the Intelligent Manufacturing Longcheng Laboratory, the research team asked while watching. "There is still a certain gap between the domestic level and the international top level. Foreign countries have been on the road for hundreds of years, and we must catch up by overtaking on a curve." The relevant person in charge of the Intelligent Manufacturing Longcheng Laboratory introduced that the laboratory focuses on the major scientific problem of "the high-performance manufacturing foundation theory of industrial machine tools," studies the process adaptability, reliability, accuracy retention, and accuracy stability improvement technology of industrial machine tools, and has built the first international set of industrial machine tool accuracy retention accelerated testing device, and is promoting the research and development of a batch of industrial machine tools that fill the domestic gap, such as liquid nitrogen internal spray ultra-low temperature cooling high-speed five-axis machining centers and ultrasonic composite six-axis linkage CNC machine tools.

The Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology introduced that there are still some problems restricting the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. Universities and research institutes do not pay enough attention to the key technical problems and market demands faced by industries, the participation of enterprises in various innovation platforms is not high enough, and the talent reserve foundation of high-level enterprises is weak.

As a global unicorn company in the field of autonomous driving hard technology for commercial vehicles, Xidi Zhijia (希迪智驾) has R&D personnel accounting for nearly 60%, more than 530 patent applications, and more than 320 authorized patents. The research team learned that the company also has its own troubles. As some fields of the company enter the "no man's land" stage of innovation, the problems of the talent training path for technological innovation and the mismatch between financial service support for the characteristics of each stage of the whole life cycle of technological innovation and industrial innovation development are also gradually emerging.

The relevant person in charge of Changsha (长沙市) introduced that the scientific research project approval of universities focuses more on academic value, and the matching degree with the actual needs of enterprises is not high, resulting in some achievements being difficult to implement due to excessive costs or lack of application scenarios. Foreign-funded enterprises, especially the world's top 500 enterprises, rarely set up global R&D center headquarters in Changsha, and the level of innovation carriers is not high. The combination of science and technology finance is not close enough, and the atmosphere of investing early, investing small, and investing in technology is not strong enough, and there is a mentality of "not being afraid of missing out, but being afraid of investing wrong."

Summarize Thoughts and Provide Decision-Making Reference

Is the principal position of enterprises in innovation solid? How can technological innovation and industrial innovation jointly drive new quality productive forces? How to make good use of overseas innovation resources? Through in-depth research, the research team summarized experience and provided reference decisions.

At the Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute (江苏省产业技术研究院), the research team learned that through mechanism innovation such as "allocation and investment combination," the Industrial Technology Research Institute has established joint innovation centers with more than 420 leading enterprises in subdivided fields and successfully connected more than 1,000 enterprise technical problems. At the China-Israel Changzhou Innovation Park (中以常州创新园), the research team learned that the park has cumulatively introduced 288 Israeli-funded and Sino-Israeli cooperative enterprises, mainly concentrated in emerging industries such as intelligent manufacturing, life health, artificial intelligence, and smart agriculture, and promoted 60 Sino-Israeli science and technology cooperation projects, initially forming a development pattern of "innovation projects gathering in the park and technology cooperation radiating outward."

BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd. (巴斯夫杉杉电池材料有限公司) is a joint venture established by German BASF and Ningbo Shanshan (宁波杉杉). BASF has four battery material R&D centers around the world, and the only and largest battery material R&D center in China is in Changsha, Hunan. The company has successively developed nickel-rich solid-state battery ternary materials, which are expected to enter the mass production stage this year.

The research team believes that enterprises are not only the micro-subjects of the market economy, but also important subjects of technological innovation. It is necessary to stimulate innovation动力 (dòng lì - "driving force," motivation), build an innovation ecosystem, open up major technological innovation demand scenarios for enterprises, strengthen the deep integration of industry, academia, and research led by enterprises, support enterprises to actively integrate into the global innovation network, support foreign-funded enterprises to establish R&D centers in China, improve the science and technology service system, and increase financial support.

"Digital Life" for Suzhou Gardens (Decoding: Cultural Digitization)

By: 本报记者  王伟健

Recently, visitors to the Lion Grove Garden (狮子林), a classical garden in Suzhou (苏州), can encounter a "digital ancient person" who has "traveled through time"—strolling in the garden, recounting the details that attracted him to the Lion Grove Garden's "fantastic rocks piled with verdant greenery and secluded winding paths." The organizers used AI technology and multimedia lighting equipment to outline a vivid and dynamic scroll of plants and trees in the classical garden.

In recent years, Suzhou (苏州) has continuously promoted the construction of digital gardens, which not only provides richer and more accurate data information for the surveying and mapping of classical gardens, but also breaks the limitations of time and space, providing new ideas and methods for the protection, management, and revitalization of classical gardens.

-- Editor

Every couplet and every piece of wood carving must be digitized.

Early in the morning, Mei Hong (梅虹), a senior engineer from the Liuyuan (留园) Management Office in Suzhou (苏州市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), came to the office. The first thing he did was to open the digital information platform for garden protection and monitoring and upload the latest data measured in the past few days.

Pointing to a set of jumping data on the display screen, he introduced: "From a building to a towering ancient tree, from a piece of green tile to a rattan, there are invisible 'digital guardians' guarding them in real time. With the help of digital technology, we can dynamically monitor all the creatures and components in the garden."

Mei Hong (梅虹), 59, has been engaged in garden monitoring and protection for more than 20 years. He recalled that in the past, without a digital platform, the daily maintenance of the garden could only rely on visual observation. Should the pillars be painted? Should the flower windows be repaired? These could only be judged based on the experience of the master craftsmen. But over time, classical gardens may "change their appearance" in repeated renovations.

As the Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园), Liuyuan (留园), Master of the Nets Garden (网师园), and other nine classical gardens in Suzhou (苏州) were successively listed as World Cultural Heritage sites, Suzhou (苏州) established a World Cultural Heritage Monitoring Information System, and orderly carried out digital collection of characteristic elements of classical gardens such as flower windows, paving, furnishings, brick carvings, and gate towers, with a collection accuracy of up to millimeter level. At the same time, Suzhou (苏州) established detailed electronic archives for various elements of classical gardens, and regularly measured and updated data to build a dynamic database.

"To digitize every garden, to digitize every plaque, every couplet, and every piece of wood carving in Suzhou (苏州) gardens," Zhu Haijun (朱海俊), director of the Cooperation and Exchange Department of the Suzhou (苏州市) Garden and Greening Administration, introduced, "This is the goal pursued by the digitization of Suzhou (苏州) gardens."

Improve the accuracy and scientific nature of protection

Why establish such a complete database?

Walking through winding alleys and ancient residences, Mei Hong (梅虹) led the reporter into the Yipu Garden (艺圃), hidden in the residential area. In the Ruyu Pavilion (乳鱼亭) built by the water, you can see the exquisite and unique Suzhou-style (苏式) painted decorations on the beams and frames of the pavilion.

Mei Hong (梅虹) introduced that Suzhou-style (苏式) painted decorations were once glorious and widely used in classical garden architecture. However, today, Suzhou-style (苏式) painted decorations are almost "nowhere to be found" in major gardens in Suzhou (苏州). Only one place remains in the Ruyu Pavilion (乳鱼亭), and it is affected by the humid weather in the south of the Yangtze River (江南). The paint is constantly falling off, and the painted decorations are once blurred and almost disappeared.

"These painted decorations do not seem complicated at first glance, but the restoration is a huge project." Mei Hong (梅虹) said that in February 2019, the Ruyu Pavilion (乳鱼亭) painted decoration protection and restoration project was launched, bringing together dozens of experts from the Chinese Academy of Forestry, the Palace Museum (故宫博物院), and other units for multi-disciplinary "consultation," and it took nearly two years to complete the restoration.

Why is the restoration so difficult? Mei Hong (梅虹) explained that the main reason is the lack of historical documents and materials, and the Suzhou-style (苏式) painted decoration craftsmanship is on the verge of being lost, so they can only explore and repair at the same time.

"Next, with the help of digital technology, the restoration work will be much easier." Mei Hong (梅虹) said that during the restoration of the painted decorations, the staff carried out digital collection and archiving of every link. The style and size of the painted decorations, the materials used for restoration, and every process in the restoration process were recorded in the digital system, forming an online "digital painted decoration." In a few years, if it is necessary to protect and repair the painted decorations again, the staff only needs to retrieve detailed information from the database, and they can "draw a gourd in the same way."

Digital technology has greatly improved the accuracy and scientific nature of the protection of classical gardens in Suzhou (苏州). "With this database, no matter how many centuries pass, no matter what scale of protection and renovation is carried out, we can still leave future generations with authentic Suzhou (苏州) gardens," Mei Hong (梅虹) said.

Ancient gardens have a new "opening method"

Digitization has also revitalized ancient Suzhou (苏州) gardens and provided visitors with a richer experience.

At 9 p.m., in the Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园) in Gusu District (姑苏区), Suzhou (苏州), mountains and rivers surround, and strange rocks are exquisite. A "digital feast" is staged in the hazy night.

Pan Meilan (潘美兰), a 68-year-old "old Suzhou (苏州) resident," held a small lantern and climbed the Jianshan Tower (见山楼) in the middle of the garden. Looking through the Ming tile windows "revived" with nearly 3,200 pieces of sea moon shells, the "deer" transformed by light and shadow strolled leisurely among the mottled bamboo shadows below. The sounds of insects and birds simulated by computer software lingered in her ears, accompanied by the melodious Kunqu Opera (昆曲) melody. A "digital bright moon" slowly rose above the Jianshan Tower (见山楼)...

In recent years, on the premise of doing a good job in the protection of cultural relics, the Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园) has used modern technologies such as digital light and shadow to launch the "Zhuozheng Wenya (拙政问雅)" night tour project, allowing tourists to immerse themselves in the garden under the light and shadow. Jianshan Tower (见山楼) is an important point on the route of the night tour project.

Xue Zhijian (薛志坚), director of the Suzhou (苏州市) Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园) Management Office, introduced that digital elements are everywhere in the Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园), which covers an area of more than 70 acres. Taking Jianshan Tower (见山楼) as an example, in addition to creating a digital night tour scene, the Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园) has also released related digital products of Jianshan Tower (见山楼) and recreated a "digital twin" Jianshan Tower (见山楼) online. Citizens and tourists only need to log in to the "Suzhou (苏州) Zhoudao (苏周到)" APP and click "Suzhou (苏州) Garden" to see the 720-degree high-definition panoramic three-dimensional picture of Jianshan Tower (见山楼). Citizens and tourists can "climb" Jianshan Tower (见山楼) without leaving home and get an immersive tour experience.

The digital presentation and utilization of Jianshan Tower (见山楼) is a microcosm of Suzhou's (苏州) vigorous promotion of digital protection of classical gardens. In recent years, with the continuous launch of a large number of new digital cultural scenes and products, ancient Suzhou (苏州) gardens have a new "opening method": Liuyuan (留园) has developed and built the Liuyuan (留园) "Metaverse" virtual experience project "Liuyuan (留缘) Story," using three-dimensional digital modeling technology to present the three-dimensional effects of the main venues such as the Wufeng Xianguan (五峰仙馆); Lion Grove Garden (狮子林) launched the "Lion Grove Garden (狮子林) Metaverse" experience project, providing "5G technology Lion Grove Garden (狮子林) VR tour experience" real-time immersive tourism...

Zhu Haijun (朱海俊) said that in the past, many tourists left after taking a quick look at the garden. With the help of digitization, more and more tourists can deeply visit the garden, truly achieving "coming again and again, watching again and again."

I often ask myself if I have achieved three "understandings" (new language)

By: 秦海璐

Actors should always maintain a sense of reverence, cherishing the hard work and crystallization of creators' efforts; even more so, they should hone their professional dedication, using accumulated skill to imbue characters with soul.

The art of performance requires reflection: how to uplift the light of humanity amidst the tides of the times. In this regard, I often ask myself if I have achieved three "understandings."

First, understand people, portraying human emotions and nature through characters. As the vehicle of performance, actors must deeply analyze the characters they portray. The "Rickshaw Puller" in the stage play *Four Generations Under One Roof* will discuss lines with the playwright; the "Young Monk" in the stage play *Green Snake* will consider musical accompaniment during rehearsals. Merely memorizing lines and arias without understanding their underlying meaning is a major taboo in performance. By skillfully blending the authenticity and theatricality of a character, actors can make their performances truly come alive.

Second, understand the audience, establishing emotional connections through empathy. Actors and audiences are complementary and interact symbiotically. We must try to understand the audience's psychology, but not blindly cater to their preferences or simply pursue immediate reactions. Instead, we must move and inspire the audience to think, and enrich our performance accordingly. The audience is diverse, and when creating each character and each work, we must consider the target audience to make the work more relevant and impactful.

Finally, understand the times. Each era has its unique artistic expressions. The stage design of *Four Generations Under One Roof* can be opened like pages of a book, presenting the story in a unique way. Tian Qinxin (田沁鑫), the director of the play and president of the National Theatre of China (中国国家话剧院), said that this is a way of expressing Chinese emotions and the beginning of a Chinese-style theatrical perspective. Standing on the stage, I can feel that simple and earnest desire – Chinese dramatic art must create works that conform to modern aesthetics and have the characteristics of the times, telling Chinese stories in the way of contemporary people.

When I first read the script of *Four Generations Under One Roof*, I wondered how to condense a lengthy novel onto the stage within three hours. How to choose what to keep and what to discard? Today, I have performed in this play for 15 years, nearly 400 times. I have finally realized that this work can be described as 字字如金 (zì zì rú jīn - "every word is gold," extremely valuable and precious) and 句句藏锋 (jù jù cáng fēng - "every sentence hides a sword's edge," full of hidden meaning). The polishing of a classic is a painstaking process of unraveling and a tribute to the original literary work. Actors should always maintain a sense of reverence, cherishing the hard work and crystallization of creators' efforts; even more so, they should hone their professional dedication, using accumulated skill to imbue characters with soul.

From participating in *Red Rose and White Rose*, *Four Generations Under One Roof*, to *Green Snake*, I have become increasingly convinced that by guarding the roots of literature with reverence, connecting creation and performance with sincerity, and fusing tradition and modernity with a spirit of transformation, we can make characters become prisms of the times – reflecting both unchanging human nature and refracting current changes, engraving the measure of drama for the times on the road of inheritance and innovation.

The 9th World Sinology Conference Held

This newspaper's Shenzhen (深圳) dispatch on June 8th (Reporter: Jiang Xiaodan (姜晓丹)) From June 5th to 7th, the 9th World Sinology Conference was held at the Bao'an Campus of the Shenzhen (深圳) Research Institute of Renmin University of China (中国人民大学). The conference, themed "Understanding China: Sinology Research in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," was co-sponsored by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education (教育部中外语言交流合作中心) and Renmin University of China (中国人民大学). Nearly 200 sinologists from more than 50 countries and regions gathered to explore the innovative development path of Sinology in the age of artificial intelligence.

The conference focused on the impact of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology on Sinology and Chinese studies, reflecting the in-depth dialogue between traditional humanities and emerging technologies. The conference held four keynote speeches, and Chinese and foreign scholars conducted in-depth one-on-one dialogues on topics such as "AI and Paradigm Changes in Sinology Research" and "Digital Technology and the Dissemination of Chinese Classics," connecting tradition and modernity, theory and technology from Chinese and foreign perspectives, presenting a new paradigm of Sinology research.

At the opening ceremony, the Chinese Philosophy and Social Sciences Preprint Platform—World Sinology Sub-platform was launched. This platform is an academic journal matrix and digital resource platform with Sinology as its core, based on the concept of "New Sinology" and "Grand Sinology," and is autonomously managed and jointly built by the academic community, aiming to promote the exchange of world Sinology and Chinese research results and help the prosperity of global Sinology.

At the meeting, the "New Sinology Program" postdoctoral project was officially launched. This project was jointly established by the Center for Language Education and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education (教育部中外语言交流合作中心) and five universities, including Peking University (北京大学) and Renmin University of China (中国人民大学), as a pilot project, aiming to further improve the integrated training system and full-chain support network for young Sinology talents.

It is reported that the World Sinology Conference, founded in 2007, is based on the "cross-language, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary" attributes of Sinology. Through in-depth dialogues between Chinese and foreign Sinology scholars in different disciplines, it promotes the international Sinology community's understanding of contemporary China and the world today.

Field Study

During the wheat harvest season in Xiping County (西平县), Zhumadian City (驻马店市), Henan Province (河南省), over a hundred children entered the Laowangpo Ten-Thousand-Mu Fertile Farmland Farm (老王坡万亩良田农场) in Xiping County (西平县), embarking on a study tour to get close to nature and experience the harvest. Watching the golden wheat grains pour down from the harvester's grain outlet, the children exclaimed in surprise from time to time.

Algorithms Enhance "Vision," Deciphering Unearthed Bamboo Slips

By: 本报记者  宋朝军

With a soft whir, the lights came on, the hyperspectral imager started, and a bamboo slip lying in a glass tube was slowly pushed in. In less than half a minute, a hyperspectral image of the bamboo slip appeared on the screen.

In the laboratory of the Gansu Bamboo Slips Intelligent Computing and Digital Humanities Engineering Research Center (甘肃省简牍智能计算与数字人文工程研究中心), Zhang Qiang (张强), the head of the research center and a professor at Northwest Normal University (西北师范大学), stared at the infrared image and spectral curve, analyzing carefully: "Many bamboo slip artifacts are sealed in glass tubes and cannot be easily opened. Using hyperspectral imaging scans and algorithm processing, we can clearly extract their infrared image information, providing more support for the dataset."

The dataset Zhang Qiang (张强) mentioned is a large-scale dataset for bamboo slip character detection and recognition, called the DeepJiandu dataset. In March of this year, Zhang Qiang's (张强) team, in conjunction with the Gansu Bamboo Slips Museum (甘肃简牍博物馆) and other units, launched the dataset and opened it to the world.

Gansu (甘肃) is one of the regions with the richest unearthed bamboo slips in the country. Since the 20th century, more than 70,000 bamboo slips have been unearthed in Gansu (甘肃), mostly Han slips, covering military affairs, government affairs, medicine, folk customs, and more.

Bamboo slip materials are relatively fragile. After long-term burial, they often suffer from blurred characters and missing strokes. Traditional bamboo slip research requires a great deal of work to process a single bamboo slip, from locating the text and identifying the glyphs to recording, preserving, and sharing the results, all of which must be done manually.

Zhang Qiang (张强) has long been engaged in interdisciplinary research in computer science and management science. "How can we empower bamboo slip research through multidisciplinary integration and the use of artificial intelligence?" Zhang Qiang (张强) led his team, in conjunction with the Gansu Bamboo Slips Museum (甘肃简牍博物馆), Shanghai Chinese and Western Book Company (上海中西书局), Gansu Culture Publishing House (甘肃文化出版社), and others, successively collected more than 40,000 bamboo slip images, and sorted out more than 45,000 transcriptions and nearly 200,000 glyphs and other data. In June of last year, the Bamboo Slip Academic Resource Data Sharing Platform was officially launched, and it is open to the world for free use.

In the research and development and application of the sharing platform, Zhang Qiang's (张强) team proposed the idea of launching the DeepJiandu dataset. "A large amount of seemingly complex bamboo slip feature information can be extracted. This dataset provides the basis and possibility for using artificial intelligence to achieve intelligent recognition of bamboo slip characters," said Zhang Qiang (张强).

The dataset is like "nourishment," and Zhang Qiang's (张强) team constantly "feeds" it to various analysis algorithms. For example, for a bamboo slip, the team can perform intelligent detection and recognition of its text through image enhancement, completion, and localization algorithms, through a large number of data model training and algorithm optimization.

Creating such a dataset is not simply "pasting the text into a table." Some bamboo slips have blurred handwriting and complex writing styles, while others have physical deformations such as bending and fracture. In addition, the age and region of different bamboo slips vary, and the font forms are vastly different and lack standardization... After repeated trials and errors and meticulous labeling, "picking out" the characters one by one, the team carried out multiple rounds of comparative testing. After continuous adjustment and optimization, the text detection accuracy based on the DeepJiandu dataset has been improved to more than 92%, and the dataset performs more stably for some common Chinese characters.

In two years, Zhang Qiang's (张强) team has expanded from less than 5 people to more than 30 people, and the academic background of the personnel has also expanded to computer science, history, literature, and management, and other disciplines. Currently, they are steadily carrying out research projects such as intelligent recognition of bamboo slip writing styles, intelligent splicing of incomplete bamboo slips, and construction of bamboo slip knowledge graphs. "I hope more people are willing to join in and explore the valuable value of bamboo slip studies," said Zhang Qiang (张强).

How can school canteens prevent food waste? (Frontline of People's Livelihood: Saving Food, Opposing Waste)

By: 本报记者  王  者  范昊天  王欣悦

From achieving on-demand meal supply to compressing costs and strengthening on-site and back-kitchen management... many schools are constantly exploring and practicing ways to reduce food waste. Reporters visited Shandong, Hubei, and Chongqing to see how local schools are precisely calculating costs, saving food, and reducing waste.

On-demand Meal Supply: Clever Ideas for Reducing Volume at the Source

At 11:30 a.m., walking into the Yanxi Campus of Jinan Oriental Bilingual Experimental School (济南市东方双语实验学校) in Shandong Province, Cai Chunhua and Kang Lei, logistics staff members of the school, were busy distributing lunch to the students dining on campus. Ten minutes later, after distributing 45 lunches to the lower-grade students, Kang Lei walked to the other two classrooms, opened the insulated boxes, and continued to distribute lunch to students in other grades.

"45 servings for the lower grades, 45 servings for the third grade, 42 servings for the fourth grade, a total of 132 servings, no more, no less, just right." Yu Ping, the person in charge of the campus, introduced that in order to save food, the school closely cooperates with the catering company to achieve on-demand meal supply, ensuring that the number of meals supplied is consistent with the number of diners.

On-demand meal supply comes from the school's accurate statistics and dynamic updates of the number of diners. Since September last year, Oriental Bilingual Experimental School has adjusted the frequency of counting the number of diners from once per semester to once per month. The last week of each month, the number of people having lunch at school is summarized by class. At the same time, based on the total number of diners each month, the number of diners each day is dynamically grasped and updated in real time. The catering company obtains the accurate number of diners on the day through the online catering platform.

Sometimes parents ask for leave through the online catering platform, and the catering company obtains the leave information on the platform, and then adjusts the number of meals, reducing the delivery of套餐, to avoid waste.

"Lixia District schools closely cooperate with catering companies to accurately count the number of diners through the dining system, adjust the number of meals in a timely manner, cultivate students' firm establishment of correct food safety concepts, effectively enhance their ideological awareness and action consciousness of saving food and opposing waste, and develop good habits of cherishing food." said Wang Xianyang, member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Education and Sports Bureau of Lixia District (历下区教育和体育局), Jinan City (济南市).

In Wuhan (武汉), Hubei (湖北), China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) (中国地质大学（武汉）) innovatively launched a small-bowl dish self-selection model. Near noon, on the first floor of the North District Canteen of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), more and more teachers and students came to dine. In front of the small-bowl dish window, dishes such as boiled beef, shrimp steamed eggs, and white fungus soup were neatly arranged. Li Hengyi, a senior student from the School of Resources, selected three dishes, one meat and two vegetables, and a small bowl of black rice, easily achieving "clean plate."

"In the past, the windows were all served by aunts, and the portions were sometimes uneven. There were often cases where there was more rice and less vegetables or more vegetables and less rice. In recent years, the canteen has innovatively launched small-bowl dishes and half-portion dishes, so we can take meals as needed to avoid waste." Li Hengyi said with a smile. Cao Yong, the person in charge of the North District Canteen, introduced that the school has upgraded the traditional set meal serving mode to a small-bowl dish self-selection mode. The small bowl has a built-in smart chip, which accurately loads dishes according to standard gram weight and realizes automatic settlement of fees.

Making the Most of Everything: Practical Measures for Reducing Consumption and Increasing Efficiency

In the back kitchen of the North District Canteen of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), there is not a drop of sewage on the ground, and the canteen's self-made new oil-saving device is inverting the oil pot. The residual oil in the pot slowly drips into the container below for recycling. The "Leftover Food Record Table" hanging on the wall records in detail the types of dishes left over after lunch and dinner every day and how they are handled.

"This oil-saving device can save about 40 pounds of cooking oil per month for a self-operated stall." Wang Jiansheng, director of the Catering Service Center of the Logistics Support Department of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), said that the school's canteens analyze the daily needs of teachers and students, introduce a logistics inventory information system, formulate accurate procurement plans, and achieve less procurement, frequent procurement, and immediate use. The Catering Service Center also implements assessments on the school's 159 stalls, linking staff performance with stall turnover, material waste, teacher and student evaluations, and other indicators, urging each team to adhere to preparing dishes according to quantity and cooking according to needs, and doing everything possible to reduce waste.

By actively adopting resource utilization and reduction measures, the average number of swill buckets collected and transported by the school canteen every day has been reduced from about 55 buckets to about 40 buckets, and the reduction ratio of kitchen waste has reached nearly 40%.

In Chongqing (重庆), Southwest University (西南大学) improves the efficiency of food processing and reduces losses by building a central kitchen. "At present, there are 21 canteens in the Beibei Campus (北碚校区) of Southwest University, 11 of which maintain the school's self-operated model. We have built a central kitchen covering an area of 2,200 square meters." said Dong Jinwen, deputy director of the Catering Service Center of the Logistics Group of Southwest University. The central kitchen reduces losses by centrally preparing materials in the procurement and distribution links, "providing a one-stop service from the field to the table, realizing accurate procurement, centralized control, and reasonable meal distribution."

"One of the main concepts of our central kitchen is to strengthen the extended use of ingredients and improve the utilization rate of ingredients, thereby reducing waste." Dong Jinwen said, "For root vegetables, we centrally process them in the central kitchen, such as peeling and removing roots; green leafy vegetables such as cabbage and romaine lettuce are more prone to losses during processing, so they are processed by the 11 canteens themselves." In addition to root vegetables, the central kitchen is also responsible for meat slicing and rice, pastry production, and other tasks.

At the canteen's free condiment table, sweet and sour radish kimchi is especially popular among students. It is made from radish peels left over from the central kitchen's unified processing. Washing, peeling, cutting into pieces... Baskets of radishes are processed through an automatic production line, and finally radish pieces and radish peels are transported out by the conveyor belt.

At the other end of the central kitchen, the processing of pork is also quite elaborate. A piece of pork is first cut into shreds and slices according to standards by a meat slicer, and then the remaining small pieces of minced meat are ground into fillings for making buns and wontons, making the most of everything.

Mechanism Guarantee: "Clean Plate Campaign" Becomes a Fashion

In order to fully encourage students to cherish food and practice thrift, Jinan No. 18 Middle School (济南第十八中学) in Shandong (山东) launched the "Strive to Be a Clean Plate Hero, Don't Be a Leftover Guest" clean plate ticket winning activity. Students are arranged to be on duty at 5餐盘回收处 in the canteen every day to manage and supervise students' meals. Students who finish their meals without leftovers are rewarded with "Clean Plate Exchange Tickets" on the spot; students who still have leftovers on their plates are promptly reminded by the students on duty to urge them to achieve a "clean plate."

After lunch, the school will promptly announce the weight of kitchen waste at the 5餐盘回收处, doing one public announcement every day and one summary every week. "Since the activity has been going on for more than a month, the average weight of kitchen waste at each餐盘回收处 has decreased by about half." said Lü Fuchang, principal of Jinan No. 18 Middle School. The school also established an "Excellent Clean Plate Action Class" selection mechanism, awarding a mobile red flag to the 3 classes with the most "Clean Plate Exchange Tickets" in each grade.

Guanggu No. 8 Primary School (光谷第八小学) in Wuhan (武汉) has established a centralized meal accompaniment system to strengthen on-site management. In the classroom of Class 509 of Guanggu No. 8 Primary School (光谷第八小学) in Wuhan (武汉), children choose to sit in the "large bowl area" or "small bowl area" according to their appetite. Then, the 3 "Clean Plate Stars" selected last week put on aprons, dust caps, and gloves, and step onto the podium to serve dishes to their classmates. Behind the classroom, two special meal companions, Principal Li Juanping (李娟萍) and parent representative Song Weiling (宋伟玲), are dining with the students.

"We have established a centralized meal accompaniment system, with one school leader accompanying meals every day and one parent accompanying meals every week, to promptly discover and solve problems such as waste in the centralized meal process." Li Juanping introduced that after accompanying the meal, school leaders and parents should fill out the centralized meal accompaniment record form respectively, and distribute questionnaires to the children to understand whether the dishes of the day meet their taste and recommend a dish they want to eat. In this way, the dishes are dynamically adjusted every week to make the children eat healthy and delicious as much as possible, and reduce waste caused by not being to their taste.

In the canteen of Wanzhou Vocational Education Center (万州职业教育中心) in Chongqing (重庆), glass windows separate the kitchen from the dining area. On the monitoring screen, the processes of preparing and making dishes in the back kitchen are clearly recorded. All of this can be seen clearly by logging into the online platform. "This not only improves the transparency of the canteen, but also makes the chefs pay more attention to the rational use of ingredients and reduce waste when operating." said Wang Haiying, director of Wanzhou Vocational Education Center (万州职业教育中心).

"In the future, with the introduction and promotion of more modern catering management methods, there will be more effective measures to reduce food waste. We should also realize that reducing food waste is a long-term and arduous task that requires the joint efforts and continuous exploration of the entire society." said the relevant person in charge of the Chongqing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau (重庆市市场监管局).

Crack down on exploiting minors with "suggestive content"! (People's Perspective)

By: 白真智

It is necessary to collaborate in many ways and strengthen supervision to ensure that there is no room for survival for behaviors that exploit minors with "edge ball" tactics.

Recently, a live broadcast incident involving several scantily clad children at a certain anime exhibition has attracted attention. The staff of the anime exhibition organizer immediately contacted the parents and photography studio and stopped it in time.

Nowadays, various types of cute baby videos have gradually become popular themes on internet platforms. However, some unscrupulous merchants or accounts are reaching out to underage groups with "edge ball" tactics in order to gain traffic. Some netizens have discovered that some merchants and bloggers use "edge ball" pictures and videos of minors to attract attention, and some of the comments in the comment sections are appalling.

For behaviors that exploit minors with "edge ball" tactics, they must be cracked down on and dealt with seriously as soon as they appear.

The Law on the Protection of Minors stipulates that it is forbidden to produce, reproduce, publish, disseminate, or possess obscene and pornographic articles and online information about minors. The Regulations on the Protection of Minors in Cyberspace also have relevant clauses. In July 2024, the Cyberspace Administration of China (网信部门) launched a special campaign called "Qinglang (清朗) · 2024 Summer Special Action for整治 the Online Environment for Minors," and reported the behavior of "packaging children as so-called 'sexy hot girls' for unscrupulous marketing" as a typical case for handling. Parents of children, relevant institutions, and online platforms should also raise awareness and fulfill their responsibilities to effectively protect the physical and mental health of minors.

Parents must take responsibility. As guardians, parents should establish correct parenting concepts and should also be vigilant and guard against some institutions that use reasons such as "art," "training," and "displaying talents" to alienate minors into commercial tools. At the same time, pay more attention to the children's ideological dynamics, accompany them in some healthy and positive entertainment activities, and prevent them from being affected by bad content.

Institutions must face up to the problem. Performing arts agencies, model companies, training institutions, etc. must recognize the seriousness of the protection of minors, and must not profit in ways that are suspected of harming minors in performances, exhibitions, and other activities, and must not use any means to gain popularity and traffic.

Platforms must come up with solutions. Platforms should strengthen pre-event supervision of "edge ball" content of minors in terms of personnel input and content review, and discover, block, or delete relevant content in a timely manner, so that such pictures or videos cannot be sent out or spread. At the same time, increase the intensity of post-event punishment, severely punish accounts and merchants that repeatedly violate regulations and have a bad impact, shut down accounts, and remove products to increase the cost of violations and play a warning role.

Protecting the physical and mental health of minors is the responsibility of the entire society. It is necessary to collaborate in many ways and strengthen supervision to ensure that there is no room for survival for behaviors that exploit minors with "edge ball" tactics, and to create a clean, healthy, and positive growth environment for minors.

National platform for cross-provincial direct settlement of blood transfusion fees established.

This newspaper reported from Beijing on June 8th (Reporter Bai Jianfeng (白剑峰)). The National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委) recently requested further implementation of the "No Runs for Blood Fee Reduction" initiative. By the end of 2025, all blood stations and blood-using medical institutions nationwide will fully implement the "No Runs for Blood Fee Reduction" policy, forming a service model of "hospital direct reduction as the primary method and online application as a supplementary method."

It is reported that the National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委), relying on the "National Electronic Voluntary Blood Donation Certificate" WeChat mini-program, has built a national cross-provincial blood fee reduction platform, realizing that voluntary blood donors can handle blood fee reductions online regardless of where they donate blood or where the blood is used.

In order to further optimize the blood use fee reduction service for voluntary blood donors and their relatives, the National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委) requires all regions to strengthen the responsibilities of blood stations and medical institutions, so that the "No Runs for Blood Fee Reduction" service covers every blood station in the jurisdiction, ensuring that every voluntary blood donor can enjoy convenient blood fee reduction services.

The National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委) requires all regions to effectively simplify procedures, reduce unnecessary supporting materials, and strengthen cooperation between blood-using medical institutions and blood stations to ensure smooth reduction processes and improve processing efficiency. Medical institutions should set up a "One-Stop Service for Blood Fee Reduction" prompt at the discharge settlement window to help patients directly reduce blood use fees upon discharge and understand the online blood fee reduction methods. After receiving a blood fee reduction application, blood stations must complete the review within 3 working days. If the review is approved, the relevant fees will be transferred to the applicant's account; if the review is not approved, they must promptly communicate with the blood donor, guide the blood donor to supplement relevant materials, or clearly explain the relevant reasons for not meeting the policy requirements. According to requirements, before June 30, all blood-using medical institutions, blood stations, blood donation points and other places will post promotional posters, and proactively prompt voluntary blood donors to inquire about blood donation records and reduction channels through text messages, to ensure that voluntary blood donors "**知晓政策、会用平台**" (zhī xiǎo zhèng cè, huì yòng píng tái - "know the policy, know how to use the platform," to be aware of the relevant policies and be able to utilize the online platform).

Making crafts, enjoying the fun.

Binxi Building Home-based Elderly Care Service Center in Hexi District, Tianjin (天津市河西区宾西楼居家养老服务中心), the elderly care housekeeper, in order to meet the social and entertainment needs of the elderly, held the "University for the Elderly" courses. The picture shows an elderly person displaying the handmade jewelry she made in the "University for the Elderly" class.

With the increasing aging of the population in China, the demand for elderly care services is increasing day by day. At present, many communities across the country have set up elderly care housekeeper positions to provide more detailed and personalized services for elderly residents.

Suzhou, Jiangsu Accelerates Building an Employment-Friendly City

This newspaper's Nanjing (南京) June 8th dispatch (Reporter Wang Weijian (王伟健)): On June 7th, Suzhou (苏州市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), held a work promotion meeting to accelerate the construction of an employment-friendly city, launching an employment service "package" for young talents and new employment form workers, including a direct train for college graduate recruitment, college "doorstep" employment service stations, "Suqing Station (苏青驿)" boutique talent stations, and a "find odd jobs" general entrance.

The direct train for college graduate recruitment focuses on the 2025 college graduates, creating an all-weather recruitment service system of "jobs available at all times, recruitment every week, and special events every month." To help college students achieve a seamless transition from campus to the workplace, this year, Suzhou (苏州) innovatively created "doorstep" employment service stations in universities such as the Suzhou (苏州) campus of Renmin University of China (中国人民大学苏州校区), the Suzhou (苏州) campus of Nanjing University (南京大学苏州校区), and Suzhou University of Science and Technology (苏州科技大学), providing college students with comprehensive services such as career guidance, job recommendations, and entrepreneurial support. To solve the problem of "difficult accommodation" for young people seeking jobs in Suzhou (苏州), the Suzhou (苏州市) Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League launched the "Suqing Station (苏青驿 (站))" youth talent station project, providing free accommodation for up to 14 days for young people seeking jobs in Suzhou (苏州), and providing one-stop services such as employment guidance, policy publicity, and urban integration. At present, 134 "Suqing Station (苏青驿 (站))" stations have been built, covering all streets and towns in the city, serving a total of 20,000 young people. The Suzhou (苏州) Human Resources and Social Security Department has also created a general online job search entrance, integrating local odd-job platforms and the full range of odd-job tasks of the domestic service association, covering popular fields such as logistics sorting, delivery errands, and domestic services. The content is authentic and reliable, the process is controllable online, and the income is transparent and guaranteed.

What details should you pay attention to in protecting your stomach health? (Service Window)

By: 本报记者  刘洪超

The chopsticks we use every day may be becoming an "invisible killer" threatening our stomach health. Many families continue to use chopsticks until they are cracked or faded, reluctant to discard them. However, they are unaware that long-term use of chopsticks results in tiny grooves on the surface, invisible to the naked eye, becoming a "haven" for bacteria and mold to breed rampantly. Geng Chao (耿超), Deputy Chief Physician of General Surgery at the Second Hospital of Fushun (抚顺) City, Liaoning (辽宁) Province, reminds us that regularly replacing chopsticks can reduce the risk of spreading pathogens and protect stomach health.

An experiment by the Shanghai Consumer Council (上海市消保委) showed that the number of molds on chopsticks used for more than 6 months is 30% higher than on new chopsticks. Wooden and bamboo chopsticks are easily worn on the surface, and after absorbing water and becoming damp, they easily become a breeding ground for aflatoxin and Helicobacter pylori. In addition, some plastic chopsticks or inferior disposable chopsticks may release harmful substances such as formaldehyde at high temperatures, endangering health. The replacement cycle for chopsticks of different materials varies. Wooden and bamboo chopsticks should be replaced every 3-6 months. Once cracks, mold spots, or odors appear, they should be discarded immediately. Stainless steel and ceramic chopsticks are not prone to hiding bacteria due to their smooth surfaces and can be checked every 3 months. If no obvious wear is found, the usage time can be extended appropriately.

In addition to regularly replacing chopsticks, tableware maintenance and dietary choices are also crucial for protecting stomach health. Dr. Geng (耿医生) introduced that there is also a great deal of knowledge in tableware cleaning. The total number of bacterial colonies on chopsticks washed in bunches is 30%-50% higher than on chopsticks washed individually. It is recommended to wash chopsticks separately, wipe them with detergent, and then rinse them thoroughly. High-temperature disinfection is an effective method. Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes can kill 99% of pathogens, but the killing of aflatoxin requires distinguishing between the bacteria and the toxin: the bacteria can be inactivated by high temperature and ultraviolet rays, while the toxin requires high temperature above 280 degrees Celsius or alkaline treatment, which generally cannot be killed in everyday household environments. In addition, commonly used bowls, plates, cutting boards, knives, and dishcloths in the home are also prone to "hiding dirt and grime," and daily cleaning and regular replacement cannot be ignored.

It is worth noting that the habit of "eating while it's hot," which everyone often mentions, hides risks. Some people have turned "eating while it's hot" into "eating while it's scalding." After evaluation, the International Agency for Research on Cancer believes that drinking hot drinks with a temperature exceeding 65 degrees Celsius carries a risk of cancer. Dr. Geng (耿医生) recommends that food temperature should be controlled between 10-40 degrees Celsius.

Stomach health screening is a "vanguard station" for preventing stomach diseases. Helicobacter pylori is one of the main causes of gastritis and stomach cancer. It is recommended that healthy adults have regular checkups for Helicobacter pylori. At the same time, pay attention to serving food separately and using serving chopsticks. In addition, gastroscopy is essential for detecting stomach diseases and screening for early stomach malignancies. With the advancement of technology, painless gastroscopy is becoming more and more popular, and the pain of the examination is greatly reduced. Dr. Geng (耿医生) recommends that adults have a gastroscopy every 3-5 years to build a solid defense line for stomach health.

Railway Department Optimizes Ticket Sales Start Times for Some Stations (Service Window)

This newspaper reported from Beijing on June 8th (Reporter Li Xinping (李心萍)): This reporter learned from the China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (中国国家铁路集团有限公司) that starting from 00:00 on June 7th, the railway department optimized and adjusted the ticket sales start times for 99 stations including Nanjing (南京), Nanchang (南昌), Guangzhou South (广州南), Shanghai Hongqiao (上海虹桥), Shijiazhuang (石家庄), and Jinan (济南).

Railway tickets can be purchased 15 days in advance, and passengers can purchase tickets on time according to the ticket sales start time of the departure station. Previously, the ticket sales start times for more than 3,000 stations across the country were distributed between 8:00 and 18:00 in batches with 30-minute intervals. For example, the ticket sales start time for Beijing West Station (北京西站) was 8:00, and for Beijing South Station (北京南站) it was 12:30.

This adjustment changes the ticket sales start time interval from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, still distributed between 8:00 and 18:00 daily. As a result, the number of ticket sales start times has increased from 21 to 41. For example, the ticket sales start time for Nanjing Station (南京站) has been adjusted from 8:00 to 8:15; the ticket sales start time for Nanchang Station (南昌站) has been adjusted from 9:30 to 9:45; and the ticket sales start time for Shanghai Hongqiao Station (上海虹桥站) has been adjusted from 13:30 to 13:45.

The stations for which the ticket sales start times have been optimized and adjusted this time are mostly stations with large passenger volumes and relatively concentrated ticket purchase demands. Increasing the number of ticket sales start times is conducive to the balanced submission of passenger ticket purchase demands, which can effectively release the processing capacity of the Railway 12306 system during peak periods and further enhance the passenger ticket purchase experience. The specific ticket sales start times corresponding to the train numbers for the 99 stations can be queried through the Railway 12306 website, client, and station announcements. Except for these 99 stations, the ticket sales start times for other stations remain unchanged.

Building a Harmonious Marine Ecological Environment Between Humanity and the Ocean (Beautiful China)

By: 本报记者  周亚军

Core Reading

June 8th is World Oceans Day. The "2025 China Marine Economy Development Index" and the "2024 China Marine Ecological Early Warning Monitoring Bulletin" were released, revealing that China's gross ocean product exceeded 10 trillion yuan for the first time last year. In recent years, China has coordinated marine development and utilization activities, promoted the development of marine affairs, and built a harmonious marine ecological environment.

On June 8th, the main event of the 2025 World Oceans Day and National Marine Awareness Day, themed "Protecting Marine Ecosystems: Harmony between People and Nature," was held in Haikou (海口市), Hainan Province (海南省). A reporter learned from the event that in 2024, China's gross ocean product exceeded 10 trillion yuan for the first time, an increase of 5.9% over the previous year. The number of marine economic activity units in key monitored industries increased by 6.0% year-on-year.

The Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部) released the "2025 China Marine Economy Development Index," the "2024 China Marine Ecological Early Warning Monitoring Bulletin," and "Typical Cases of Marine Ecological Protection and Restoration in 2025" at the event.

The marine economy is developing strongly, and the marine industrial structure is further optimized.

Guangdong (广东) is developing "offshore green electricity" and "offshore equipment," with the added value of emerging marine industries reaching 41.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.3%. Zhejiang (浙江) is promoting the three-dimensional and layered utilization of sea areas, cumulatively approving 180 three-dimensional sea rights projects with an area of approximately 165,000 mu, achieving a "win-win-win" situation of increased corporate economic benefits, increased marine resource value, and marine ecological protection. Shandong (山东) is promoting the accelerated gathering of high-level innovation platforms, establishing a modern marine industry-talent integration and development innovation alliance, and stimulating the innovation vitality of marine scientific researchers. Various regions are increasing exploration to promote marine economic development.

The Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部) released the "2025 China Marine Economy Development Index" at the event. This is a comprehensive quantitative assessment of China's marine economic development in 2024, covering five areas: development scale and efficiency, structural optimization and upgrading, resource conservation and utilization, foreign economy and trade, and people's livelihood security and improvement. The index uses 2015 as the base period, with the base period index value set at 100.

The relevant person in charge of the Marine Strategic Planning and Economic Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部海洋战略规划与经济司) stated that the 2024 index was 125.2, an increase of 2.3% over the previous year, indicating a strong momentum in marine economic development. Last year, China's gross ocean product exceeded 10 trillion yuan for the first time, an increase of 5.9% over the previous year. The number of marine economic activity units in key monitored industries increased by 6.0% year-on-year.

By sector, the marine industrial structure has been further optimized, and the ability of scientific and technological innovation has continued to improve. In 2024, the added value of emerging marine industries increased by 7.2% year-on-year, accounting for an increasing proportion of the marine economy. The added value of marine manufacturing was 3.2 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 30% of the gross ocean product. The digital, high-end transformation and upgrading of industries such as marine fisheries, marine oil and gas, marine shipbuilding industry, and marine engineering equipment manufacturing are accelerating.

On the day of the event, the "National Marine Comprehensive Test Site (Deep Sea)" was officially put into operation in Hainan (海南). Li Dongyu (李东屿), Director of the Hainan Provincial Department of Oceanography, introduced that in recent years, Hainan's gross ocean product has increased from 200.93 billion yuan in 2022 to 270.7 billion yuan in 2024, with an average annual growth rate of 16.1%. Relying on the National Marine Comprehensive Test Site, Hainan is striving to build a deep-sea science and technology innovation source for the "smart ocean."

The overall marine ecological condition is stable, and the changing trend of typical ecosystems is stable and improving.

The "2024 China Marine Ecological Early Warning Monitoring Bulletin," compiled in accordance with the Marine Environmental Protection Law, was released on the same day. The relevant person in charge of the Marine Early Warning and Monitoring Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部海洋预警监测司) introduced that in 2024, the Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部), in conjunction with coastal provinces, carried out ecological trend monitoring at 14 nearshore standard sections and 1,621 nearshore monitoring stations, conducted investigation and monitoring of 136 typical ecosystem distribution areas and 350 typical islands, and carried out early warning monitoring of ecological problems such as red tides and green tides of Enteromorpha prolifera.

The results of the monitoring bulletin show that in 2024, China's marine ecological condition was generally stable, and the changing trend of typical ecosystems was stable and improving. In recent years, there have been no significant changes in the salinity, pH, chemical oxygen demand, and bottom dissolved oxygen concentration of surface seawater in China's nearshore waters, and the concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and reactive phosphate have fluctuated and decreased. The number of species and diversity index of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and large benthic animals in nearshore waters have generally remained stable. The ecological conditions of key monitored coral reefs, seagrass beds, coastal salt marshes, and mangrove ecosystems are mainly good, and the ecological conditions of seaweed farms, oyster reefs, estuaries, bays, and islands are basically stable.

In terms of rare and endangered species, the maximum daily landing volume of spotted seals in the Liaohe River Estuary (辽河口) in spring reached 352. The population of Chinese white dolphins in Guangxi (广西) is generally stable. The number of Bryde's whales and juvenile horseshoe crabs in the Beibu Gulf (北部湾) waters has increased. Among the 350 typical islands, the condition of 58.8% of the monitored islands is good, and the proportion of islands where the water quality of the surrounding sea areas reaches the first and second class seawater quality standards exceeds 52%. The proportion of coral reefs, seagrass beds, coastal salt marshes, and mangrove ecosystems with good ecological conditions reaches more than 60%.

Enhance the diversity, stability, and sustainability of marine ecosystems.

The monitoring bulletin shows that affected by global climate change and other factors, in 2024, the sea level along China's coast was 96 mm higher than normal, coastal erosion was relatively severe in some areas, and the nearshore surface water temperature in summer was 1.2 degrees Celsius higher than normal, the highest level for the same period since records began. The number of red tides and the cumulative area have increased compared with the average value of the past 10 years, and ecological disasters and ecological problems such as green tides of Enteromorpha prolifera, local biological outbreaks, and hypoxia in estuaries still exist.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部) stated that in order to prevent and resolve major risks of marine ecological damage and safeguard the marine ecological security boundary, the Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部) will enhance the diversity, stability, and sustainability of marine ecosystems from three aspects: First, optimize the marine land and space layout. Strengthen the spatial planning and management of coastal zones and nearshore waters, combine territorial space planning to coordinate the delineation of marine ecological protection red lines, and clarify the layout of marine ecological space and marine development and utilization space; Second, improve the marine ecological early warning and monitoring system. Deepen and expand the monitoring layout, comprehensively strengthen monitoring capabilities, accelerate the construction of monitoring networks, improve the application level of new monitoring methods such as satellites, drones, and in-situ online monitoring, research and develop and integrate new technologies and methods for marine ecological early warning and monitoring, and strengthen the application of evaluation and early warning results to support the optimization of marine space layout and precise control; Third, strengthen the protection and restoration of marine ecosystems. Strengthen the protection and restoration of natural coastlines, uninhabited islands, important coastal wetlands, important marine ecological corridors, and typical marine ecosystems such as mangroves and coral reefs, and strengthen the joint prevention and control of Spartina alterniflora and green tides of Enteromorpha prolifera. Strengthen the research on key technologies for ecological restoration and improve the diversified investment mechanism for ecological restoration.

On the day of the event, the 15th National Marine Knowledge Competition was launched. A series of supporting activities such as marine culture and literature activities, marine-themed photo exhibitions, national beach cleanup public welfare activities, and "Beautiful Beaches" youth pioneer activities, and natural protection public welfare salons were held concurrently.

What's the Difference Between "Hai" and "Yang"? (Telling You About Nature)

By: 高 抒

"Sea" is generally connected to land, and its area is often less than one million square kilometers; the area of "Ocean" is larger, and the distance from its central part to land is farther.

June 8th is World Oceans Day. In many people's minds, "ocean" is one word, but in reality, "sea" and "ocean" are related but also different.

Both "sea" and "ocean" mean "large bodies of water," but the area of "ocean" is larger, and the distance from its central part to land is farther. For example, the central part of the Pacific Ocean can be tens of thousands of kilometers away from land. The "sea" is generally connected to land, and its area is often less than one million square kilometers.

Our planet Earth was initially a scorching "fireball" with a surface temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius. The eruption of magma brought gases and liquids from the Earth's interior to the surface. Among them, light substances such as water vapor floated into the air, and then the surface temperature dropped below 100 degrees Celsius, and the water vapor turned into water. As more and more water accumulated, about 3.5 billion years ago, the Earth's surface was gradually covered with a thin layer of "water film."

However, this is not a true ocean. The ocean is associated with land. More than 2 billion years ago, under the "water film," the magma gradually underwent convective movement. Magma movement includes both divergent and convergent movements. Divergent movement is equivalent to tearing a hole in the originally smooth "eggshell," and the "egg white," that is, magma, gushes out of the surface, and the hole becomes larger and larger, forming a deeper ocean; convergent movement causes the "eggshell" on both sides to be continuously squeezed and impacted, forming undulating land and mountains.

"Sea" and "ocean" are closely related. Among the current four oceans, the Pacific Ocean is the oldest, with an age of more than 200 million years. In fact, earlier there was the Tethys Ocean, which formed in the Southern Hemisphere and expanded across the equator to the Northern Hemisphere over hundreds of millions of years, and began to enter old age 200 million years ago. In the past 100 million years, the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean have successively "broken out of their shells," constantly squeezing the living space of the Tethys Ocean. The area of the Tethys Ocean gradually shrank, and it completely disappeared 30 million years ago, and a part of the remaining "transformed" into the current Mediterranean Sea. Of course, there are also "oceans" that grow and expand, and because of the interaction between the sea and land, some "seas" are derived.

After understanding the evolutionary history of the sea and the ocean, we can better understand the profound impact of the ocean on mankind.

More than 95% of the water on Earth comes from the ocean, and the ocean plays an important role in regulating climate and improving the environment. The ocean contains energy sources such as oil and natural gas, and also supplies abundant fishery resources. The ocean is closely related to human society. We must scientifically protect and rationally develop it, and safeguard our common home.

China has released 9 national standards for product carbon footprint.

This newspaper reported from Beijing on June 8th (Reporter Liu Wenxin (刘温馨)): It was learned from the 2025 National Nonferrous Metals "Dual Carbon" Conference that, to date, China has released 9 national product carbon footprint standards, involving livestock products, electrolytic aluminum, chemical fibers, plastic products, etc.

Among them, "Greenhouse Gases - Product Carbon Footprint Quantification Methods and Requirements - Electrolytic Aluminum" is the first national product carbon footprint standard in the industrial field, clarifying accounting boundaries, accounting methods, publishing formats, data quality requirements, and traceability requirements.

It is reported that in 2024, China's recycled aluminum production exceeded 10 million tons, and its production energy consumption is only 5% of that of aluminum electrolysis. Each ton of recycled aluminum replacing electrolytic aluminum can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 10 tons. This year, the electrolytic aluminum industry has been included in the national carbon market as the first batch of key emission control industries for expansion, covering 98 electrolytic aluminum enterprises, covering a production capacity scale of nearly 45 million tons, accounting for more than 60% of the global total electrolytic aluminum production capacity.

Public Security Organs Crack Down on Crimes Damaging the Ecological Environment According to Law

This newspaper reported from Beijing on June 8th (Reporter Zhang Tianpei (张天培)) - Shanghai Chongming (崇明) public security organs use ecological policing to protect the construction of the ecological island; Wuxi (无锡) public security organs in Jiangsu (江苏) built the "City Night Hawk" early warning platform for the disposal of illegally dumped solid waste; Hefei (合肥) public security organs in Anhui (安徽) formed an "ecological volunteer police" team to carry out volunteer activities such as "patrolling forests to protect birds" and "patrolling lakes to protect fish"; Jingzhou (荆州) public security organs in Hubei (湖北) cracked a series of cases involving Yi Mouhua (易某华) and others illegally purchasing and selling terrestrial wild animals; Ningxia (宁夏) public security organs cracked a series of cases involving Chen Moufan (陈某范) and others endangering precious and endangered wild animals... Recently, the Environmental Resources and Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security (公安部) centrally announced a batch of typical events and cases of public security organs strengthening the joint prevention and control of ecological environment in the Yangtze River Delta (长三角), and cracking down on crimes endangering the safety of migratory bird resources.

In recent years, public security organs have focused on key river basins and regions such as the Yangtze River (长江) and the Yellow River (黄河), continuously organized and carried out the "Kunlun (昆仑)" series of special actions, deeply promoted regional battles such as cracking down on environmental pollution crimes in the Yangtze River Basin and cracking down on illegal disposal of solid waste crimes in the Yangtze River Delta region, as well as cracking down on and rectifying illegal sand mining and destruction of wild animal and plant resources in the Yellow River Basin, achieving phased results. From January to April this year, more than 6,900 relevant cases were filed and investigated nationwide, and 13,000 criminal suspects were arrested.

According to reports, public security organs are promoting the establishment of an ecological policing mechanism, comprehensively building a work pattern of professional leadership, police action, departmental linkage, and mass mobilization, implementing precise strikes, in-depth strikes, large-scale strikes, and joint strikes against all types of crimes that damage environmental resources and safety, promoting the "whole process, whole element, and whole chain" to cut off the criminal interest chain, and resolutely safeguarding the bottom line of environmental quality and safety.

In addition, public security organs adhere to taking the creation of a new "professional + mechanism + big data" policing operation model as the traction, accelerating the birth of new quality combat capabilities, further improving the police cooperation mechanism in key river basins and key regions, and jointly fighting, jointly preventing, and jointly controlling illegal and criminal activities.

"We are ready to face every challenge" (Competitive Observation)

By: 本报记者  郑  轶

Making her debut in a top international competition, 16-year-old Chinese women's volleyball team setter Zhang Zixuan (张籽萱) looked focused. As the youngest starting player in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, she was selected for the national team after a "leapfrog" from the national youth team. Her composure, drive, and willingness to perform have not only earned Zhang Zixuan (张籽萱) widespread recognition but have also become a distinct characteristic of this young team.

On the evening of June 8, the 2025 FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League China Beijing (北京) station competition concluded at the National Indoor Stadium (国家体育馆). The new Chinese women's volleyball team, formed less than two months ago, narrowly lost to the Turkish women's volleyball team with a score of 2-3, achieving a record of 2 wins and 2 losses in this station. With a new cycle, new lineup, and new team, the Chinese women's volleyball team is going all out to treat each game, gaining growth from actual combat.

"I believe we will get better and better." Facing challenges, Chinese women's volleyball team captain Gong Xiangyu (龚翔宇) is full of confidence.

12 Players Represent the National Team for the First Time

Zhang Zixuan (张籽萱), Chen Houyu (陈厚羽), Tang Xin (唐欣), Wang Aoqian (王奥芊), Wan Ziyue (万梓玥), Dong Yuhan (董禹含)... When the Chinese women's volleyball team once again stood on the international arena, more than half of them were new faces.

On April 10, the Chinese Volleyball Association announced that Zhao Yong (赵勇) would serve as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team and announced the new national team roster. This team, with an average age of less than 22 years old, has as many as 16 players born after 2000 out of 19, and 12 players are representing the national team for the first time. "This reflects the Chinese women's volleyball team's determination to prepare for the Los Angeles Olympics, selecting and training young players in an unconventional manner," said Lai Yawen (赖亚文), director of the Volleyball Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport (国家体育总局排球运动管理中心).

The FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League has become the first "small test" for the rookies. Will they "fail the test"?

The results were surprisingly pleasing. Zhang Zixuan (张籽萱), the youngest player in the team, was able to effectively coordinate the main setter position; Tang Xin (唐欣), the 21-year-old opposite hitter who came on as a substitute, performed brilliantly on both the offensive and defensive ends; Wang Aoqian (王奥芊), the 17-year-old middle blocker with a height of 1.96 meters, has a spirit of daring to fight and拼搏 (gǎn dǎ gǎn pīn - "dare to fight dare to struggle," showing great determination and effort) reminiscent of the famous player Zhao Ruirui (赵蕊蕊)... Although still somewhat green, the girls' remarkable performances have given everyone hope.

This lineup, which combines veterans and newcomers, is constantly running in during actual combat. Gong Xiangyu (龚翔宇), Wang Yuanyuan (王媛媛), Wang Mengjie (王梦洁) and other world champions are holding the line, Wu Mengjie (吴梦洁), Zhuang Yushan (庄宇珊) and other mid-generation players are shouldering the burden, and young players are taking turns to play and train. "In the 4 games, the team's overall performance has fluctuated, but everyone's fighting spirit and will to fight on the field are worthy of recognition. We need to carefully summarize the grasp of key balls and the adjustment of mentality," said Zhao Yong (赵勇).

Accumulating Energy for Re-emergence

For the new Chinese women's volleyball team, this year's competition tasks are heavy. Since gathering in mid-April, the entire team has been in closed training at the Training Bureau of the State General Administration of Sport (国家体育总局训练局). On June 4, the FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League sub-station competition kicked off, and this young team unveiled its "veil" to the public.

In the first match against the Belgian team, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the opening red of the new cycle with a score of 3-0. In the second match against the strong Polish team, the opponent sent out its full main lineup, and the Chinese women's volleyball team lost with a score of 1-3, paying tuition for growth. In the third game, the Chinese women's volleyball team swept the French team with a score of 3-0. In the fourth game against the old opponent Turkish team, the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to seize the opportunity at a critical moment and eventually lost narrowly with a score of 2-3.

With 2 wins and 2 losses in the first show on the international arena, although there were regrets, the Chinese women's volleyball team trained the team and accumulated experience. As Polish coach Lavarini commented: "Although the newly formed Chinese women's volleyball team lacks some experienced veterans, there are young players coming up in every position, and the young main attackers and setters are performing very well."

From failing to qualify from the group stage of the Tokyo Olympics to finishing fifth in the Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team's results in the past two Olympic cycles have fallen short of public expectations, and the team has been under great pressure and difficulties. Starting a new cycle of the journey, everything starts from scratch. "The door of the national women's volleyball team is open to everyone, and it is the same for new and old players," Lai Yawen (赖亚文) said frankly.

Introducing "fresh blood" to accelerate the transition between old and new players, accumulating energy for re-emergence. From this actual combat, the drive and vigor of the young players have injected confidence and vitality into the team. "The Women's Volleyball World Championship will also be held in August this year, and we need to strengthen the lineup in all aspects to form the best combat effectiveness." In Zhao Yong's (赵勇) view, to achieve the goal of reaching the podium at the Los Angeles Olympics, we must do a good job of accumulating every day.

Team Growth is More Important Than Winning or Losing

In the third game against the Turkish team, the Chinese women's volleyball team stubbornly chased points under the disadvantage of being 7 points behind and eventually reversed with a score of 31-29. Cheers resounded throughout the National Indoor Stadium (国家体育馆), and the audience waved the inflatable sticks in their hands to the beat, enjoying this moment. "The pressure and motivation of playing at home coexist, but the motivation is stronger than the pressure." Zhao Yong (赵勇) said that it is more of an encouragement for the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in large-scale competitions in Beijing (北京) again after many years.

The last time Beijing (北京) hosted an international women's volleyball event was back in the 2008 Olympics. At that time, Zhang Zixuan (张籽萱) had just been born. Now that she is competing in the Olympic venue, the little girl cherishes every minute of playing time, "Holding a learning attitude and promoting each other with teammates." She also soberly sees her shortcomings, "There is still a lot of room for improvement in all aspects."

In the team, many young players have emerged from international competitions at the youth level, and some have even entered the national team "leapfrogging" without playing in the domestic league. Outstanding physical conditions and great growth potential are their advantages; but at the same time, the fierce competition in the current world volleyball arena also tests whether they can gain a foothold.

This season's FIVB Volleyball Women's Nations League, the Chinese women's volleyball team will participate in 3 sub-station competitions. Compared with winning or losing, the whole team values more the growth gained from the "strong dialogue." "Facing world powerhouses with different styles, every game is very valuable for training." Chinese women's volleyball team vice attacker Wang Yuanyuan (王媛媛)坦言 (tǎn yán - "confess frankly," to speak honestly and directly), whether it is the improvement of technical and tactical ability, or the adjustment of competition emotions and on-the-spot response, the young team needs to play more games and rely on accumulation to make up for the gap.

During the event, Chinese women's volleyball team main attacker Li Yingying (李盈莹) also came to the venue to cheer for her teammates. Since accidentally injured in the league in February this year, she has been in the treatment and rehabilitation stage. Although she missed this station competition, her current recovery is progressing smoothly. "Seeing the vigorous vitality of the young teammates on the field, I am very infected," Li Yingying (李盈莹) said with emotion.

Starting anew, carrying the unknown and expectations, but also pregnant with the future and hope. After a short break, the Chinese women's volleyball team will participate in the China Hong Kong (香港) station competition on June 18. Carrying every hard battle, whether victory or failure, will become a valuable experience for this youth division. As Gong Xiangyu (龚翔宇) said, "We are ready to meet every challenge."

Female PhD student has a passion for powerlifting (faint glow)

By: 本报记者  徐  靖

Clenching her teeth, adjusting her belt buckle, locking the barbell with her shoulder blades, squatting down, and exploding upwards. In the training base, Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱) (pictured, courtesy of the University of Science and Technology of China (中国科学技术大学)) is trying to break through in front of the squat rack.

She is a 2022 doctoral student majoring in physical chemistry at the Future Technology College of the University of Science and Technology of China (中国科学技术大学未来技术学院), and also a member of the Chinese team for the powerlifting event at the 2025 World Games.

At first glance, Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱), with her delicate face and shy temperament, is hard to associate with weightlifting.

In 2020, after graduating with a bachelor's degree, Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱) was recommended for postgraduate studies at the University of Science and Technology of China (中国科学技术大学). At that time, she was in poor physical condition due to extreme weight loss. After realizing the problem, she started exercising and fitness, "wanting to regain a healthy lifestyle through exercise."

By chance, Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱) came into contact with the powerlifting project and liked it very much. "After starting strength training, I constantly received positive feedback. I could feel my progress, so I persisted."

In August 2023, Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱) had the idea of participating in professional competitions, began to plan seriously, and focused on the three powerlifting events: squat, bench press, and deadlift. In May 2024, Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱) broke the national squat record for women under 63 kg twice at the IPF (International Powerlifting Federation (国际力量举联合会)) Cross-Strait Invitational Tournament held in Xiamen (厦门).

On December 6, 2024, at the Uzbekistan IPF Powerlifting Asian Championships, Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱) won the bronze medal in the under 63 kg category and qualified for the 2025 World Games.

While continuously achieving good results in the arena, she is also actively striving for progress in her studies.

During her doctoral studies, Zheng Xiaoxuan's (郑晓萱) comprehensive average score in the final exams was above 90 points. She also published two papers as the first author in authoritative academic journals and won awards such as the Excellent Paper Presentation Award at domestic academic conferences.

For Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱), sports and scientific research have many similarities and can promote each other. "Scientific research requires a lot of literature accumulation and experimental reserves, and training requires repeating an action thousands of times, which makes me understand the importance of accumulation even more. In addition, you will encounter bottlenecks during training, which requires adjusting your mentality and actively thinking of solutions, which is equally important in scientific research."

Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱) also uses scientific research thinking in her training. She divides the training into several sections according to the competition date, treating each section as a small experiment, and using the intensity and frequency of training as experimental variables. "This method not only makes my training more effective, but also makes my goals clearer and more planned."

Recently, Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱) is facing doctoral graduation and is also training hard to prepare for the 2025 World Games to be held in August this year.

"The powerlifting project is still in the development stage in China (中国) , but it is already very mature in many countries. There is still a clear gap between me and the top players, so the main purpose of participating in the World Games is to learn," said Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱). "As an amateur athlete, it is an honor in itself to have the opportunity to win glory for the country and show myself on such a high stage."

"As long as you love sports, it's never too late to start. I hope that through my story, more people can find what their heart desires," said Zheng Xiaoxuan (郑晓萱).

The Mengma Mixed Martial Arts Training Base, located in Hohhot (呼和浩特市), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), has been particularly lively recently. In March of this year, the Olympic Council of Asia announced that mixed martial arts would be included as an official event in the 2026 Asian Games. The news has spurred the trainees to work even harder.

In the field of close combat sports, mixed martial arts differs from boxing, kickboxing, and other disciplines. Mixed martial arts rules are relatively open, allowing both stand-up striking and ground grappling. Athletes can utilize various techniques from boxing, wrestling, karate, judo, Sanda (散打), and other martial arts, earning it the title of the "decathlon" of combat sports. In recent years, the outstanding performances of mixed martial arts athletes such as Zhang Weili (张伟丽) have continuously increased the sport's popularity in China.

Yang Jingang (杨金刚), the head of the Mengma Mixed Martial Arts Training Base, has been even busier lately. On the one hand, he is responsible for selecting team members to participate in various competitions, and on the other hand, he is focusing on cultivating reserve talents. Every weekend, hundreds of young students come to the base for training.

Yang Jingang is from Hebei (河北) and has practiced martial arts since childhood. He came to Hohhot (呼和浩特) to work in 2009. In 2012, he opened a mixed martial arts club. He started by increasing public awareness of mixed martial arts, offering free training for three months, which attracted more than 500 students. Carefully compiling courses, teaching students in different time slots, and explaining the rules and techniques in detail... Through Yang Jingang's efforts, the students gradually felt the passion and charm of this sport. After the training, many students fell in love with mixed martial arts.

As the number of students increased, Yang Jingang decided to learn from advanced experience and start competitions. As his reputation grew, Yang Jingang renamed the competition the Mengma Hero Fighting Championship and operated it carefully. In order to provide students with a better growth environment, he updated training equipment and continuously learned international advanced teaching methods. To broaden the students' horizons, he led them to participate in competitions and exchanges in various places, allowing the children to understand the outside world.

Since its establishment, the training base has attracted tens of thousands of students, and many outstanding athletes have emerged. Huhe (呼和), a Mongolian teenager born in 2009, won the third place in the National Children's Free Fighting Competition. Wang Shengtong (王圣童), a student born in 2012, already has four gold medals in competitions...

In recent years, mixed martial arts has set off a craze in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). In just a few years, there are already thousands of mixed martial arts clubs and stores of all sizes in the entire autonomous region. "I hope everyone will work together to create a better platform and let more people fall in love with this sport," said Yang Jingang. "May every child be physically strong and mentally strong."

Indonesia Open: China Takes Home 1 Gold and 1 Silver

This newspaper reported from Beijing on June 8th (Reporter Sun Longfei (孙龙飞)) On June 8th, the Indonesian Open, a Super 1000 level event of the Badminton World Federation World Tour, concluded in Jakarta. In the 5 events, the Chinese team reached two finals, ultimately winning the women's doubles championship and the women's singles runner-up.

The women's doubles final was held between the Chinese team combination of Liu Shengshu (刘圣书)/Tan Ning (谭宁) and the Malaysian team combination of Chen Kangle (陈康乐)/Tina. Both sides have strong offensive capabilities, and the speed of offensive and defensive transition is very fast. In the first game, Liu Shengshu/Tan Ning were continuously chased by their opponents after taking the lead and lost the first game. Subsequently, the Chinese team combination readjusted, gradually gained the initiative on the court, and won two consecutive games, winning with a total score of 2-1.

"In this game, we and our opponents each have advantages. The opponent is better than us in the continuity of offense, but we dare to adapt and can 豁得出去 (huō de chū qù - "go all out," to be willing to risk everything) in key points." Liu Shengshu said after the game.

In the women's singles final, Chinese player Wang Zhiyi (王祉怡) faced An Se-young (安洗莹), the women's singles champion of the Paris Olympics and a famous player from the South Korean team. Wang Zhiyi won the first game 21-13, but was then reversed by her opponent with 19-21 and 15-21, winning the silver medal. "I will carefully summarize this game and hope to perform better next time," Wang Zhiyi said.

Expo 2025 Osaka: Eye-Catching Exhibits (First Report)

By: 本报记者  朱玥颖

On the Seto Inland Sea coast in Osaka, Japan, a giant wooden structure is quite spectacular. This is the symbolic architecture of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo (大阪·关西世博会) (Osaka Expo) – the "Ring Roof." The theme of this Expo is "Designing Future Society for Our Lives," and it officially opened on April 13th and will last until October 13th. Currently, 158 countries and regions and 7 international organizations are participating. According to Kyodo News (共同社) of Japan, as of June 1st, it has attracted approximately 5.07 million visitors. The China Pavilion is popular among visitors. According to statistics from the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (中国贸促会), as of June 6th, the China Pavilion has received a cumulative total of 428,837 visitors. Recently, a reporter visited the Osaka Expo park to explore the highlights of various national pavilions.

Showcasing the Charm of Diverse Cultures

With a history of 174 years, the World Expo is known as the "Olympics of global economics, technology, and culture." The Osaka Expo park is located on "Yumeshima" (梦洲), an artificial reclaimed island in the Osaka Bay (大阪湾) area, covering an area of 155 hectares. This is the third time Japan has hosted a large-scale World Expo, following the 1970 Osaka Expo and the 2005 Aichi Expo (爱知世博会).

At the Osaka Expo, national pavilions interpret the integration and innovation of diverse cultures through unique architectural designs and cultural displays. The main building of the Osaka Expo, the "Ring Roof," is a giant wooden ring corridor with a total length of 2 kilometers and a height of about 20 meters, which can connect various areas within the venue. From sunset to the closing time of 10 p.m., the lighting installation of the "Ring Roof" will present different brightness and tones according to three different time periods: dusk, nightfall, and nighttime, and can also change with the seasons. In March of this year, the building was certified by Guinness World Records as the "world's largest wooden structure." Sou Fujimoto (藤本壮介), the director of the Osaka Expo venue design, said: "Although there are conflicts and wars in the world today, and different countries have different languages, values, and cultural traditions, I hope that everyone can coexist harmoniously and establish connections with each other in this circular building during the Expo."

In the central area of the park, a "Chinese Book Scroll" slowly unfolds, with landscapes vividly displayed. This is the China Pavilion (中国馆) of the Osaka Expo. The China Pavilion covers an area of 3,500 square meters, making it one of the largest foreign self-built pavilions in the Expo. On the pavilion, 119 famous Chinese poems are engraved in five scripts: Jin, Zhuan, Li, Xing, and Kai, fully demonstrating the profound heritage of Chinese culture. Since the opening of the China Pavilion, Sichuan (四川), Beijing (北京), Tianjin (天津), Jiangsu (江苏), Hainan (海南) and other local activity weeks, as well as special activities such as "Kunqu Opera Entering the World Expo" and "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Cultural Promotion and Exchange Activities" have been successfully held, covering multiple fields such as cultural display, technological exchange, and industrial cooperation, with a warm atmosphere on site. "What impressed me most here is that, whether it is zero-carbon buildings or future cities, I have seen China's achievements in this regard," exclaimed Yoshioka (吉冈), a Japanese visitor. China's vision for future cities also impressed Hema Miras (赫玛·米拉斯), a visitor from Spain: "I saw a more modern China than I had previously imagined."

Ren Hongbin (任鸿斌), Chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, specifically mentioned a classic poem on the China Pavilion at the opening ceremony – "A single flower does not make spring, a hundred flowers blooming bring spring to the garden" (一花独放不是春，百花齐放春满园). He said: "Today's world should be like the World Expo, a garden of peace, friendship, sincere exchange, mutual learning, and 百花齐放 (bǎi huā qì fàng - "let a hundred flowers bloom," a metaphor for promoting diverse development and expression), and should lead international cooperation with the spirit of equal consultation and mutual benefit, and actively promote an equal and orderly multipolar world and inclusive economic globalization."

Exploring New Paths for Sustainable Development

In recent years, climate change, biodiversity loss, desertification, and extreme weather events have become more frequent around the world. The Osaka Expo actively showcases sustainable development achievements and explores new paths to address global challenges.

The large circle in the Japan Pavilion is pieced together from wooden boards. After the Expo, these wooden boards can also be used for other construction projects. The pavilion also has a waste treatment facility to collect domestic waste generated within the venue, decompose it with the help of microorganisms, and reuse the generated biogas to generate electricity for the Japan Pavilion. The carbon dioxide generated during the biogas generation process is treated and reused as gas. Noriyuki Kuroda (黑田纪幸), the director of the Japan Pavilion, said: "I hope visitors can feel the concept of a circular economy and think about what they can do for it."

The Portugal Pavilion, with the theme of "Ocean," reflects Portugal's deep connection with the sea. The ropes and fishing nets hanging in the pavilion make people feel as if they are in a turbulent sea. The pavilion uses environmentally friendly materials and has an immersive exhibition hall that continuously screens short films about humans and the ocean. The film warns humans from the perspective of the ocean: "If you melt my glaciers, I will flood your homes; if you dump garbage into me, I will return the garbage to you; if you plunder all my resources today, I will leave you nothing tomorrow." An audience member on the scene sighed: "This short film is very impactful and thought-provoking. We must enhance our awareness of marine environmental protection and protect our Earth home."

Austria (奥地利), known worldwide for its classical music, cleverly incorporates musical elements into its design. The pavilion uses sheet music as a pattern to create a spiral structure that extends to the sky like flowing notes. The United Arab Emirates (阿联酋) Pavilion, with the theme of "From the Earth to the Sky," is inspired by the date palm tree, integrating traditional materials and woodworking techniques to highlight sustainable development and cultural heritage protection. The Kuwait (科威特) Pavilion's exterior resembles unfolded wings, and the venue cleverly integrates elements such as waves, deserts, and farmland, vividly showcasing the diversity of Kuwait's scenery and culture...

Opening a New Future for a Better Life

As a global exhibition, the Osaka Expo brings together many leading technological achievements. Here, visitors can personally experience cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, new materials, and clean energy.

On the iFlytek (科大讯飞) intelligent voice interaction screen in the China Pavilion, Sun Wukong (孙悟空), a household animation character in China, transforms into an artificial intelligence Sun Wukong. When the reporter asked the artificial intelligence Sun Wukong: "What are the technological highlights of the China Pavilion at the Osaka Expo?" After thinking for a moment, the other party replied: "Speaking of the China Pavilion at the Osaka Expo, there are many highlights. Look at the lunar soil on both the front and back of the moon, like a mysterious gift from the Guanghan Palace (广寒宫), allowing you to glimpse the hometown of the fairy Chang'e (嫦娥). This is the light of technology and the charm of culture, fully demonstrating the prestige of my China!" Duan Dawei (段大为), Senior Vice President of iFlytek, said that the exhibit was built using the iFlytek Spark large model trained on a domestic computing power platform. Audiences can engage in free and in-depth conversations with the artificial intelligence Sun Wukong in three languages: Chinese, Japanese, and English.

At this Expo, the world's first hydrogen-powered vending machine was officially launched. The machine was jointly developed by Coca-Cola (可口可乐公司) and Fuji Electric (富士电机), and does not require an external power outlet, directly generating electricity through replaceable hydrogen boxes. This vending machine is slightly larger than ordinary vending machines, and the generator module on the side is equipped with 18 hydrogen boxes. Hydrogen and oxygen undergo a chemical reaction to generate energy stored in the battery.

[아시아경제 = 김민진 기자] “어휴, 또 늦었네. 다반사(茶飯事) (pinyin - "dā bān shì," commonplace, everyday occurrence)라니까. 어제도 12시 넘어서 집에 들어갔지 뭐야.”

직장인 김모(32)씨는 오늘도 늦잠을 잤다. 늦잠을 자는 바람에 아침밥도 거르고 부랴부랴 출근하느라 정신이 없다. 김씨는 “밤에 야근하는 날이 많아 늦게 자는 게 다반사(茶飯事) (pinyin - "dā bān shì," commonplace, everyday occurrence)가 됐다”며 씁쓸해했다.

다반사(茶飯事) (pinyin - "dā bān shì," commonplace, everyday occurrence)는 ‘차를 마시고 밥을 먹는 일’이라는 뜻으로, 일상생활에서 늘 있는 흔한 일을 비유적으로 이르는 말이다. ‘늘 있는 일’, ‘예사’ 등으로 바꿔 쓸 수 있다.

이 말은 송나라 때의 승려인 석문혜개(釋門慧開)가 지은 선종(禪宗)의 수행 지침서인 ‘무문관(無門關)’에서 유래했다. ‘무문관’ 제19칙에는 ‘조주화상문(趙州和尙問)’이라는 이야기가 실려 있다. 조주화상은 중국 선종의 고승인 조주종심(趙州從諗)을 가리킨다.

어느 날 조주에게 한 스님이 “저는 스님께 묻습니다. 도(道)는 무엇입니까”라고 물었다. 조주는 “차나 마시게”라고 답했다. 다시 스님이 “저는 스님께 묻습니다. 도는 무엇입니까”라고 묻자 조주는 “밥이나 먹게”라고 답했다. 스님이 다시 “저는 스님께 묻습니다. 도는 무엇입니까”라고 묻자 조주는 “옷이나 입게”라고 답했다.

조주는 스님의 질문에 엉뚱한 대답만 했다. 이에 한 스님이 “스님께서는 왜 엉뚱한 대답만 하십니까”라고 묻자 조주는 “나는 그에게 지극한 정성으로 대답했을 뿐이다”라고 답했다.

조주의 말은 도가 특별한 곳에 있는 것이 아니라 차를 마시고 밥을 먹고 옷을 입는 일상생활 속에 있다는 뜻이다. 이후 다반사(茶飯事) (pinyin - "dā bān shì," commonplace, everyday occurrence)는 일상생활에서 흔히 있는 일을 비유하는 말로 쓰이게 됐다.
