Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Beijing (北京), August 31st. The 17th issue of "Qiushi" magazine, published on September 1st, will feature an important article by Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央), President of the People's Republic of China (国家主席), and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (中央军委), entitled "Promoting the Great Spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and Striving Forward Towards the Brilliant Other Shore of the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation." This is an excerpt of important discourses by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) from July 2014 to May 2025.
The article emphasizes that the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the longest, largest-scale, and most sacrificial national liberation struggle by the Chinese people against foreign invasion in modern times, and it was also the first national liberation struggle to achieve complete victory. The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression completely shattered the Japanese militarists' plot to colonize and enslave China, powerfully defended national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and thoroughly washed away the national humiliation of repeated defeats in resisting foreign aggression since modern times. The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression re-established China's status as a major power in the world. The Chinese people won the respect of peace-loving people around the world, and the Chinese nation won a lofty national reputation. This great victory was a historical turning point for the Chinese nation from falling into a deep crisis in modern times to moving towards great rejuvenation, and it was also an important part of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. It was a victory for the Chinese people and a victory for the people of the world.
The article points out that the Communist Party of China's (中国共产党) role as the mainstay was the key to the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The Communist Party of China (中国共产党) adhered to the line of total resistance, formulated correct strategies and tactics, opened up vast enemy rear areas, and became the mainstay of adhering to the resistance. The Communist Party of China (中国共产党) always adhered to resistance and opposed surrender, adhered to unity and opposed division, adhered to progress and opposed regression, and together with all patriotic parties, groups, and the broad masses of the people, jointly maintained the overall situation of united resistance. The Communists, with their political views, firm will, and exemplary actions, supported the hope of national salvation and survival, led the correct direction for winning the war, and became the national vanguard for winning the war.
The article points out that the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War were a great decisive battle between justice and evil, light and darkness, and progress and reaction. In that tragic war, the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression started the earliest and lasted the longest. With huge national sacrifices, it supported the main eastern battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War and made historic contributions to winning the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. The victorious achievements of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War are beyond doubt, and the sacrifices of tens of millions of people for independence, freedom, and peace cannot be denied. The Chinese people and the people of all countries will never agree to anyone who wants to deny, distort, or even beautify the history of aggression. It is necessary to promote a correct view of the history of World War II, safeguard the authority and status of the United Nations, and firmly defend the achievements of the victory of World War II.
The article emphasizes that in the magnificent process of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the great spirit of the War of Resistance was formed. The Chinese people showed the world their patriotic feelings of **天下兴亡、匹夫有责** (tiān xià xīng wáng, pǐ fū yǒu zé - "the rise and fall of the nation concerns every individual," everyone has a responsibility for their country), their national integrity of **视死如归、宁死不屈** (shì sǐ rú guī, nìng sǐ bù qū - "regard death as going home, rather die than submit," ready to die for one's country), their heroic spirit of not fearing violence and fighting to the end, and their belief in victory of being **百折不挠、坚忍不拔** (bǎi zhé bù náo, jiān rěn bù bá - "never give up despite setbacks, perseverance," indomitable and persistent). The great spirit of the War of Resistance is the invaluable spiritual wealth of the Chinese people, and it will always be a powerful spiritual driving force to inspire the Chinese people to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and strive to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is necessary to promote the great spirit of the War of Resistance, and with the determination and courage to overwhelm all difficulties without being overwhelmed by difficulties, dare to struggle, be good at creation, and persevere in striving to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation until the final victory is achieved.

Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that the friendship between China and Armenia has a long history and is 历久弥坚 (lì jiǔ mí jiān - "the longer it lasts, the stronger it becomes," enduring and growing stronger with time). Since the establishment of diplomatic relations 33 years ago, the two countries have respected and trusted each other, benefited each other, and learned from each other, and bilateral relations have continued to develop in a healthy and stable manner.

Return to TopPeople's Daily, Tianjin, August 31st (Reporter Qu Pei, Li Anqi) On the afternoon of August 31st, President Xi Jinping (习近平) met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (莫迪), who was in China to attend the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit, at the Tianjin State Guesthouse.
Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that our successful meeting in Kazan last year restarted China-India relations, and new progress has been made in exchanges and cooperation between the two countries. China and India are two major ancient civilizations of the East, the two most populous countries in the world, and important members of the Global South. They shoulder the important responsibility of benefiting the two peoples, promoting the unity and revitalization of developing countries, and promoting the progress of human society. Being good-neighborly and friendly friends and mutually successful partners, and realizing "dragon and elephant dancing together," should be the correct choice for both China and India.
Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India. The two sides should view and handle China-India relations from a strategic and long-term perspective, further enhance them through the Tianjin meeting, and promote the sustained, healthy, and stable development of bilateral relations. First, we must strengthen strategic communication and deepen mutual trust. As long as we accurately grasp the general direction that we are partners rather than opponents, and that we are mutual development opportunities rather than threats, China-India relations can be **纲举目张** (gāng jǔ mù zhāng - "lift the net by its main rope, the meshes will open," when the key link is grasped, everything falls into place) and move steadily and far. Second, we must expand exchanges and cooperation to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. Both China and India are at a critical stage of development and revitalization, and should focus on development as the greatest common denominator, supporting each other, promoting each other, and achieving each other. Third, we must take care of each other's concerns and adhere to peaceful coexistence. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence advocated by the older generation of leaders of China and India more than 70 years ago need to be cherished and promoted. We must work together to maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas and not allow the border issue to define the overall China-India relationship. Fourth, we must strengthen multilateral cooperation and safeguard common interests. We must jointly demonstrate historical responsibility, adhere to multilateralism, strengthen communication and coordination on major international and regional issues, defend international fairness and justice, and work together to promote world multipolarization and democratization of international relations, so as to make due contributions to maintaining peace and prosperity in Asia and the world.
Modi (莫迪) said that my meeting with President Xi Jinping (习近平) in Kazan pointed out the direction for the development of India-China relations. India-China relations have returned to a positive track, the border has maintained peace and stability, and direct flights are about to resume. These achievements not only benefit the people of India and China, but are also beneficial to the world. India and China are partners rather than opponents, and consensus far outweighs differences. India is willing to view and develop bilateral relations from a long-term perspective. Facing the high degree of uncertainty in the world economy, it is very important for India and China, as important global economies, to strengthen cooperation. India is willing to work with China to seek fair and reasonable solutions to the border issue that are acceptable to both sides. Both India and China adhere to strategic autonomy and independent diplomacy, and bilateral relations are not affected by third parties. Cooperation between the two countries will make the 21st century truly the Asian century, and working together will enhance the power of multilateralism in international affairs. Congratulations to China on its successful chairmanship of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and wish the Tianjin (天津) Summit a complete success.

Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 31st. The 17th issue of "Qiushi" magazine, to be published on September 1st, will feature an important article by Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央), President of the People's Republic of China (国家主席), and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (中央军委), entitled "Promote the Great Spirit of the War of Resistance and Strive Forward Towards the Brilliant Other Shore of the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation." This is an excerpt of important discourses by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) from July 2014 to May 2025.
The article emphasizes that the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was the longest, largest-scale, and most sacrificial national liberation struggle by the Chinese people against foreign invasion in modern times, and it was also the first national liberation struggle to achieve complete victory. The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression completely shattered the Japanese militarists' plot to colonize and enslave China, powerfully defended national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and completely washed away the national humiliation of repeated defeats in resisting foreign aggression since modern times. The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression re-established China's status as a major power in the world, the Chinese people won the respect of peace-loving people around the world, and the Chinese nation won a lofty national reputation. This great victory was a historical turning point for the Chinese nation from falling into a deep crisis in modern times to moving towards great rejuvenation, and it was also an important part of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. It was a victory for the Chinese people and a victory for the people of the world.
The article points out that the Communist Party of China's (中国共产党) role as the mainstay was the key to the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The Communist Party of China (中国共产党) adhered to the line of total resistance, formulated correct strategies and tactics, opened up vast battlefields behind enemy lines, and became the mainstay of adhering to the war of resistance. The Communist Party of China (中国共产党) always adhered to resisting aggression and opposing surrender, adhering to unity and opposing division, adhering to progress and opposing regression, and together with all patriotic parties, groups, and the broad masses of the people, jointly safeguarded the overall situation of united resistance. The Communists (共产党人) supported the hope of national salvation with their own political views, firm will, and exemplary actions, led the correct direction for winning the war, and became the national vanguard for winning the war.
The article points out that the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War were a great decisive battle between justice and evil, light and darkness, and progress and reaction. In that tragic war, the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression started the earliest and lasted the longest, supporting the main Eastern battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War with huge national sacrifices, and made historic contributions to winning the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. The victorious achievements of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War are beyond doubt, and the sacrifices of tens of millions of people for independence, freedom, and peace cannot be denied. The Chinese people and the people of all countries will never agree to anyone who wants to deny, distort, or even beautify the history of aggression. It is necessary to promote a correct view of the history of World War II, safeguard the authority and status of the United Nations (联合国), and firmly defend the victorious achievements of World War II.
The article emphasizes that in the magnificent process of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the great spirit of the War of Resistance was formed. The Chinese people showed the world their patriotic feelings of **天下兴亡、匹夫有责** (tiān xià xīng wáng, pǐ fū yǒu zé - "the rise and fall of the nation concerns every individual," everyone has a responsibility for their country), their national integrity of **视死如归、宁死不屈** (shì sǐ rú guī, nìng sǐ bù qū - "regard death as going home, rather die than submit," to face death unflinchingly; to prefer death to surrender), their heroic spirit of not fearing violence and fighting to the end, and their belief in victory of being **百折不挠、坚忍不拔** (bǎi zhé bù náo, jiān rěn bù bá - "unyielding despite a hundred setbacks, persevering and indomitable," to be undaunted by setbacks; to be persevering). The great spirit of the War of Resistance is the invaluable spiritual wealth of the Chinese people, and it will always be a powerful spiritual driving force to inspire the Chinese people to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and strive to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is necessary to promote the great spirit of the War of Resistance, and with the determination and courage to overwhelm all difficulties without being overwhelmed by difficulties, dare to struggle, be good at creating, and persevere in striving to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, until the final victory is achieved.

Respected colleagues and distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen, friends:
Good evening to all!
Lights illuminate the Haihe River, and Tianjin embraces all rivers. On behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, I welcome all guests to Tianjin (天津) as our guests.
Today is a day for the leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation member states to gather with new and old friends. It is also Kyrgyzstan's Independence Day and Malaysia's National Day. On this occasion, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to President Zhaparov (扎帕罗夫) and Prime Minister Anwar (安瓦尔), and to the friendly people of Kyrgyzstan and Malaysia!
Tianjin (天津) is an open and inclusive city, historically a vital area surrounding the capital, and a pioneer area for China's reform and opening up. In recent years, under the guidance of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, the Tianjin (天津) chapter of Chinese-style modernization has continuously shown new vitality. China believes that holding this summit in Tianjin (天津) will inject new vitality into the sustainable development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
Since its establishment, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation has always adhered to the "Shanghai Spirit," consolidated unity and mutual trust, deepened pragmatic cooperation, and participated in international and regional affairs, becoming an important force in promoting the construction of a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind.
At present, the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, and unstable, uncertain, and unpredictable factors have significantly increased. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation has a more significant responsibility to maintain regional peace and stability and promote the development and prosperity of all countries.
This summit bears the important mission of building consensus among all parties, stimulating cooperation momentum, and charting a blueprint for development. Tomorrow, I will hold a meeting of the Council of Heads of State with my colleagues from member states, and a "Shanghai Cooperation Organisation +" meeting with more friendly countries and international organizations, to jointly discuss cooperation and development plans and promote the improvement of global governance.
I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, this summit will be a complete success. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation will surely demonstrate greater achievements and achieve greater development, making greater contributions to promoting solidarity and cooperation among member states, gathering the strength of the Global South, and contributing to the progress of human civilization.
Like a hundred boats racing, the one who rows hardest comes first. Let us, under the guidance of the "Shanghai Spirit," start again from Tianjin (天津) and embark on a new voyage full of hope towards a better future!
Now, I propose that everyone raise their glasses together,
To the fruitful results of the Tianjin (天津) Summit,
To the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation achieving its goals,
To the development and prosperity of all countries and the happiness and well-being of the people,
To the health of all guests and their families,
Cheers!

Last July, China officially took over the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) for 2024-2025. Over the past year, with the slogan "Promoting the 'Shanghai Spirit': The SCO in Action," China has implemented more than 100 presidential activities, promoted reform and innovation in the SCO's deliberation mechanisms, cooperation models, permanent institutions, and other aspects, leading the SCO to act efficiently and be more effective, and continuously deepening practical cooperation in various fields.
Value-led, being the torchbearer of the "Shanghai Spirit"
In April of this year, the delegation of national coordinators of the SCO member states visited Shanghai (上海) and made a special visit to Yixing Pavilion (逸兴亭) in the Xijiao State Guest Hotel (西郊宾馆). On June 14, 24 years ago, the heads of state of the SCO member states held an informal meeting here. The next day, the meeting of the heads of state of the SCO member states was held. After the meeting, the heads of state of the six countries jointly signed the "Declaration on the Establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation." In 2006, the heads of state planted a white magnolia tree symbolizing friendship next to the pavilion, which is now lush and leafy.
In July this year, President Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out when he collectively meeting with the foreign ministers and heads of permanent institutions of the SCO member states who came to China to attend the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation that mutual trust and mutual benefit are the basis of cooperation, equality and consultation are the way to get along, respecting diverse civilizations promotes harmony and inclusiveness, and seeking common development achieves win-win prosperity, so that the "Shanghai Spirit" continues to illuminate the path of building a community of shared future for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
SCO Secretary-General Zhang Ming (张明) said that the key to the development of the SCO lies in adhering to the "Shanghai Spirit," which helps promote the sustainable development of member states, strengthen friendly relations between the people of member states, and maintain peace and stability in the region and the world.
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov (拉夫罗夫) said that the SCO adheres to the "Shanghai Spirit" and has achieved remarkable cooperation results, and its international attractiveness continues to increase. Practice has proved that the "Shanghai Spirit" is in line with the common interests of member states and has strong vitality.
"During China's rotating presidency, the SCO has practiced the 'Shanghai Spirit' and maintained regional security and stability in a complex and volatile international environment, contributing to the construction of a more just, reasonable, and inclusive global governance system," said Khalid Akram, Executive Director of the Center for Global Strategic Studies of Pakistan and Executive Director of the Pakistan Research Center for Human Community of Shared Future.
Pragmatic and realistic, being an actionist in deepening cooperation
The SCO has expanded into an "SCO family" of 26 countries. Since China took over the rotating presidency, the SCO has carried out extensive and pragmatic cooperation in multiple fields and dimensions, effectively responding to the "SCO family's" ardent expectations for common development.
In the 30,000-square-meter smart greenhouse, modern agricultural technologies such as deep liquid flow technology and hanging soilless cultivation ensure the year-round supply of vegetables and fruits. In May of this year, the participants of the SCO Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development Forum visited the Yangling Smart Agriculture Demonstration Park (杨凌智慧农业示范园) in Shaanxi (陕西). "China has made significant progress in promoting sustainable agricultural development, providing valuable experience for ensuring food security and sustainable agricultural development in SCO countries," said SCO Deputy Secretary-General Janesh Cain.
360 exhibitors and 2,905 purchasers gathered at the 2025 SCO International Investment and Trade Expo; 12 digital economy cooperation projects were signed at the 2025 SCO Digital Economy Forum; the "China-SCO Countries Artificial Intelligence Application Cooperation Center Construction Plan" and the "SCO Supply Chain Development Research Report" were released... Over the past year, the "SCO family" has focused on development momentum, innovated cooperation mechanisms and cooperation models in the fields of economic and trade investment, public health, intelligent universal benefit, and poverty reduction, and promoted SCO countries to move steadily towards the goal of achieving common prosperity and revitalization.
Those who interact with their hearts will achieve lasting success. The SCO Civil Friendship Forum and the Friendship City Forum have strengthened the ties of civil friendship and cooperation, the "SCO Family Youth Friendship Forest" tree planting activity has cultivated seedlings of friendship and hope, the 2nd SCO National Television Festival has built a platform for exchange and cooperation in the field of radio and television, and the "2024-2025 SCO Tourism and Culture Capital" cultural and tourism exchange week activities have promoted the exchange and sharing of cultural and tourism resources... China has built a solid foundation of public opinion and social foundation for the SCO through rich and diverse cultural exchanges.
Assuming the mission, being a resolute practitioner of building a community of shared future for mankind
Faced with major changes unseen in a century, the international community has increasingly realized that mankind is a community of shared destiny, and only by working together and living in harmony can we jointly usher in a better future. Over the past year, the SCO has adhered to the concept of building a community of shared future for mankind, pointing out the direction for regional countries to work together in harmony and develop together.
"China has embarked on a path of Chinese-style modernization and proposed a series of cooperation initiatives, which will inject strong impetus into the vast number of developing countries to seek peace and development together," said Mohammad Saleh Sedghian, director of the Iranian Center for Arab Studies, adding that joining the SCO is an opportunity for Iran. China's development achievements have inspired and motivated the vast number of developing countries to explore their own development paths.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and also the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. The SCO has always stood on the right side of history and on the side of fairness and justice, promoting global governance to develop in a more just and reasonable direction, and uniting and leading the Global South to gather the mighty force of building a community of shared future for mankind.
Andrei Rusakovich, a professor in the Department of Eurasian Studies at Belarusian State University, said that under China's leadership, the SCO has further consolidated cooperation consensus, issued a louder "SCO voice" for maintaining multilateralism and promoting the common values of all mankind, and made more "SCO contributions" to promoting the construction of a community of shared future for mankind.
During the SCO Tianjin Summit (天津峰会), President Xi Jinping (习近平) will jointly sign and issue the Tianjin Declaration (《天津宣言》) with leaders of other member states, approve the SCO Development Strategy for the Next 10 Years (《上合组织未来10年发展战略》), issue a statement on the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations, and adopt a series of outcome documents on strengthening security, economic, and cultural cooperation, pointing out the direction for the future development of the SCO. Looking to the future, the SCO countries will, under the guidance of the "Shanghai Spirit," consolidate political consensus, stimulate cooperation momentum, issue a common voice, and take joint actions to inject more stability and resilience into the turbulent and changing world, and jointly create a better tomorrow for building a community of shared future for mankind.

The 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit is being held in Tianjin (天津). The current global situation is complex and turbulent, with peace deficits, development deficits, security deficits, and governance deficits becoming increasingly prominent. Against this backdrop, the SCO has become one of the key forces leading the transformation of the global governance system. Since its establishment, the SCO has always adhered to and promoted the "Shanghai Spirit," its areas of cooperation have significantly broadened, its international reputation and influence have continued to increase, and it has continuously injected more stability and positive energy into the world.
One of the important tasks of the SCO at this stage is to help member states achieve independent and sustainable socio-economic development and promote closer regional cooperation. To this end, all countries should jointly improve the level of regional connectivity, establish stable and smooth transportation and logistics corridors, jointly improve people's livelihoods, promote regional economic integration, and strive to maintain regional security and respond to cross-border threats. Within the SCO framework, member states should actively explore new areas of multilateral cooperation, continue to deepen cooperation in green technology, digitalization, and artificial intelligence, and enhance the momentum of development.
The Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative proposed by China have gained widespread recognition and positive response from the international community. Within the SCO framework, countries in the region actively implement the three global initiatives, which will help better enhance good-neighborliness and solidarity and mutual trust, maintain regional security and stability, and promote common development and prosperity. At the "Shanghai Cooperation Organisation +" Astana Summit held last year, China proposed building "five common homelands" featuring unity and mutual trust, peace and tranquility, prosperity and development, good-neighborliness and friendship, and fairness and justice, pointing the way for strengthening cooperation. Since China took over as the rotating presidency, it has hosted various activities covering a wide range of fields around the theme of "Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Year of Sustainable Development," making important contributions to the future development of the SCO with practical actions.
As major countries with significant influence, Russia (俄罗斯) and China (中国) are important stabilizing forces in a turbulent world, committed to jointly promoting the international order in a more just and reasonable direction. The two countries pursue independent foreign policies, hold the same or similar positions on international affairs such as the world order and global development, and are committed to building an international relations model that takes into account the legitimate interests of all countries. Russian-Chinese (俄中) cooperation has made significant contributions to the development of the SCO, which has been proven again during China's (中国) tenure as the rotating presidency. China's (中国) active promotion of sustainable development of the SCO will help member states discover new economic growth points and open up broader prospects for future development.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. China (中国), Russia (俄罗斯), and relevant SCO countries jointly commemorate this victory, which has profound symbolic significance. The SCO is an important platform for advocating multilateralism, enhancing the unity of the Global South, and defending international fairness and justice. Russia (俄罗斯) and China (中国) will work with other SCO countries to jointly safeguard the achievements of World War II and the correct historical narrative, firmly safeguard the authority of the United Nations (联合国), promote the common values of all mankind, and continue to advance the equal and orderly multipolarization of the world and the inclusive economic globalization, and make "SCO contributions" to improving the global governance system.
We look forward to the successful conclusion of the SCO Tianjin (天津) Summit, further consolidating the consensus on cooperation and development synergy among all parties, jointly building a better SCO home, and making new contributions to promoting world peace and development.

"To this day, the Chinese people still remember and are grateful to Dr. Bethune, which is touching." As the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War is about to be held, Warren Bethune (沃伦·白求恩), representative of the Bethune family and chairman of the Toronto Branch of the Canada-China Friendship Association, said in an exclusive interview with this reporter, "The reason why Bethune is remembered to this day is not only because of his contribution to the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also because of his great spirit of selfless dedication and fearlessness of sacrifice. This is a manifestation of internationalism and communist ideals."
In January 1938, dispatched by the Communist Party of Canada and the Communist Party of the United States, Bethune (白求恩) led a Canadian and American medical team to China to support the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Due to a fatal infection of his wound during rescue work, Bethune (白求恩) died in Huangshikou Village (黄石口村), Tang County (唐县), Hebei Province (河北省) on November 12, 1939.
Warren Bethune (沃伦·白求恩) once visited the villages where Bethune (白求恩) lived in the Jin-Cha-Ji Anti-Japanese Base Area (晋察冀抗日根据地). He said that Bethune (白求恩) had a firm belief, and his life was devoted to healing the wounded and rescuing the dying, demonstrating the importance of international exchange and cooperation to the world.
Warren Bethune (沃伦·白求恩) believes that the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is an important part of the World Anti-Fascist War. The Chinese people maintained their firm belief and overcame various difficulties under extremely difficult conditions, and achieved a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This is not only a great victory for the Chinese people, but also a great victory for the people of the world. China opened up the main eastern battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War and made great contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the cause of human justice, which is still worth remembering today.
In July of this year, Warren Bethune (沃伦·白求恩) participated in the "Remember History, Create the Future" commemorative event for the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, which was organized by Canadian overseas Chinese groups. At the event, he told everyone about the history of Canada's support for the main eastern battlefield, mentioning that during World War II, the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong (香港), and soldiers from Britain, Canada and other countries sacrificed their lives to defend Hong Kong (香港). He said that a large number of Canadian soldiers fought bravely and died heroically in the Battle of Hong Kong (香港保卫战), "This reflects the deep friendship between the people of Canada and China, and the humanitarian and internationalist spirit contained in it is worth cherishing."
Warren Bethune (沃伦·白求恩) said that the Canada-China Friendship Association has always been committed to promoting friendly exchanges between the two peoples and promoting mutual understanding and affinity between the two peoples. As a member of the Bethune family, he hopes to use the story of Bethune (白求恩) as a bridge to allow more people from different regions and with different backgrounds to understand the history of friendly exchanges between Canada and China and enhance mutual understanding.

During the arduous years of resisting the Japanese militarist aggression for 14 long years, a group of anti-Japanese martyrs and numerous heroic collectives emerged. These anti-Japanese heroes are the backbone of the Chinese nation (中华民族), and their heroic deeds and spirit are a powerful driving force to inspire us to move forward, which we need to remember forever.
On August 31, the press center for the 80th anniversary of the victory against Japanese aggression held its third press conference to introduce the fourth batch of national-level memorial facilities and sites of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the list of famous anti-Japanese martyrs and heroic collectives, and the renovation and protection of memorial facilities and sites of the War of Resistance and relics.
The fourth list includes 34 facilities and sites and 41 martyrs and 2 heroic collectives.
Recently, the state announced the fourth batch of national-level memorial facilities and sites of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the list of famous anti-Japanese martyrs and heroic collectives, which is an important activity to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory against Japanese aggression.
"The announcement of the two lists is not only an important manifestation of remembering and cherishing the immortal feats of the anti-Japanese martyrs and promoting the great spirit of the War of Resistance and the great national spirit, but also an important opportunity to cultivate patriotism, strengthen the ambition to build a strong country, and carry out historical education and ideological and political education in the whole society," said Ma Feixiong (马飞雄), Vice Minister of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs (退役军人事务部).
Starting in April this year, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, together with 12 military and local departments, issued a notice, organized local declarations, publicly solicited clues from the society, requested recommendations from relevant units and embassies and consulates abroad, and jointly did a good job in selecting the fourth batch of national-level memorial facilities and sites of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the list of famous anti-Japanese martyrs and heroic collectives. By organizing forces to collect and sort out archival materials, select and edit, verify and demonstrate, conduct on-the-spot surveys of anti-Japanese memorial facilities and sites, invite experts in Party history, military history, and modern history to carefully review, and jointly study with relevant departments, a list of names was formed.
The fourth list includes 34 facilities and sites and 41 martyrs and 2 heroic collectives. The work took more than 5 months from conception to announcement. In the list, the types of martyrs are diverse, the distribution of memorial facilities and sites is wide, demonstrating the role of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) as the mainstay in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, demonstrating the magnificent history of the Chinese nation's (中华民族) all-out war of resistance, and demonstrating the historical fact that the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression opened up the main eastern battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War.
"We will take the announcement of the fourth batch of national-level memorial facilities and sites of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the list of famous anti-Japanese martyrs and heroic collectives as an opportunity to further protect, manage, and utilize the red resources of the memorial facilities of anti-Japanese martyrs with heart and soul, promote the study and publicity of the deeds of anti-Japanese martyrs into schools, communities, and military camps, and guide the general public, especially young people, to cultivate patriotic feelings and inherit the red gene," said Ma Feixiong (马飞雄).
Protecting, managing, and utilizing the red resources of the memorial facilities of anti-Japanese martyrs is the duty and mission of the veterans affairs department.
Li Jingxian (李敬先), head of the Department of Commemoration (International Cooperation Department) of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, introduced that in recent years, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs has continued to promote the protection and management of memorial facilities of anti-Japanese martyrs and consolidate the red position: deploying and carrying out information collection and verification, identifying 39,000 memorial facilities related to anti-Japanese martyrs and entering them into the information system; working with cultural and tourism departments to implement cooperation agreements on the protection of revolutionary cultural relics and memorial facilities, and regularly inspecting and repairing them; collecting and sorting out the relics and historical materials of anti-Japanese heroes, deeply exploring the deeds of anti-Japanese martyrs, and holding national competitions for narrators of heroes, etc.
There are more than 10,000 immovable cultural relics and more than 500,000 sets of movable cultural relics with the theme of the National War of Resistance.
"Anti-Japanese cultural relics provide evidence of the history of the War of Resistance, carry national memories, and are a valuable asset of the Party and the country, and are vivid teaching materials for inspiring patriotism, uniting people's strength, and cultivating national spirit," said Sun Deli (孙德立), Deputy Director of the National Cultural Heritage Administration (国家文物局).
In the new era, new progress and new achievements have been made in the protection and utilization of anti-Japanese cultural relics: the resources of anti-Japanese cultural relics have been basically identified, with more than 10,000 immovable cultural relics and more than 500,000 sets of movable cultural relics with the theme of the National War of Resistance; the construction of 20 revolutionary cultural relics protection and utilization zones with the theme of the War of Resistance is being promoted in an orderly manner, and more than 3,000 protection and renovation, display and exhibition, environmental improvement projects and protection and restoration projects of anti-Japanese cultural relics in museums have been implemented nationwide; during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, nearly 20 new and expanded anti-Japanese memorial halls have been built, and the exhibitions of more than 50 anti-Japanese memorial halls have been upgraded, and the number of anti-Japanese memorial halls registered nationwide has reached 257; more than 500 exhibitions with the theme of the War of Resistance are held nationwide every year.
Anti-Japanese cultural relics are irreplaceable and non-renewable precious resources, and protection is the primary task. "We follow the laws of cultural relic protection and the requirements of cultural relic work in the new era, and promote the rescue and preventive protection of anti-Japanese cultural relics, the protection of the main body and the surrounding areas, and the protection of single points and clusters, so as to ensure that all should be protected and that key points are highlighted," said Peng Yuehui (彭跃辉), head of the Department of Revolutionary Cultural Relics of the National Cultural Heritage Administration (国家文物局).
Around this year's important nodes, the cultural relics department carried out actions to protect and display anti-Japanese cultural relics; guided the planning and compilation of 20 revolutionary cultural relics protection and utilization zones with the theme of the War of Resistance, and promoted 38 anti-Japanese cultural relics theme tourist routes in 11 provinces; implemented the protection and display and environmental improvement projects of anti-Japanese sites represented by the former site of the Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army (八路军), the former site of the Headquarters of the New Fourth Army (新四军), and the Pingxingguan Battle Site (平型关战役遗址); jointly implemented the three-year action plan for the protection and utilization of revolutionary cultural relics of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army (东北抗联), and promoted the construction of the Hongshilaizi Site Park (红石砬子遗址公园); jointly created 6 national revolutionary cultural relics collaborative research centers with the theme of the War of Resistance.
Currently, the theme event season for the protection and display of anti-Japanese cultural relics is underway, and more than 1,000 anti-Japanese theme exhibitions have been launched nationwide. The event season lasts from July to September, and each month has various activities with clear themes, rich content, and diverse forms.
Behind each precious cultural relic is a touching story and a shining original intention.
The great spirit of the War of Resistance will always be a powerful spiritual driving force to inspire the Chinese people to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and strive to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation (中华民族).
Ma Feixiong (马飞雄) introduced that this year, focusing on giving play to the red resources of the system and inheriting and promoting the great spirit of the War of Resistance, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, together with the National Working Committee on Children and Young Pioneers (全国少工委), used the resources of memorial facilities of anti-Japanese martyrs to guide the Young Pioneers at all levels to carry out the practice of "Young Pioneers paying tribute to the heroes" nearby, mobilized the entire system to organize and implement education such as Qingming Festival (清明节) sacrifices to heroes and "Tribute to Heroes" entering communities, held anti-Japanese theme exhibitions, carried out "time-space dialogues" between anti-Japanese veterans and new-era soldiers, and used AI technology to restore the portraits of anti-Japanese martyrs and other distinctive commemorative activities.
"A series of measures and arrangements profoundly tell the stories of the War of Resistance and the deeds of the heroes," said Ma Feixiong (马飞雄). He said that the next step will be to continue to strengthen the commendation and commemoration of heroes, continue to protect, manage, and utilize the red resources of the system, take the memorial facilities and sites of the War of Resistance as an important red education base, do a good job in the excavation, sorting, publicity, and display of the deeds of heroes, and further create a strong social atmosphere of respecting heroes and cherishing the memory of heroes.
Anti-Japanese cultural relics contain rich stories of the War of Resistance and also carry the great spirit of the War of Resistance.
"Cultural relics are vivid, real, and see people and things," said Sun Deli (孙德立). He said that behind each precious cultural relic is a touching story and a shining original intention. He will actively guide the storytelling expression and detailed presentation of anti-Japanese cultural relics, increase the expressiveness and appeal of exhibitions, vividly and vividly tell the stories behind anti-Japanese cultural relics, multi-dimensionally display the heroic image with flesh and blood, and promote the whole society to respect heroes, learn from heroes, and strive to be heroes.

Since the beginning of the flood season this year, many parts of China have experienced continuous heavy rainfall, triggering floods and geological disasters.
At this critical moment, the broad masses of grassroots Party organizations and Party member cadres have thoroughly implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important instructions on flood prevention, rescue, and disaster relief work, fully leveraging their role as fighting fortresses and vanguard role models, jointly building a solid defense line to safeguard the safety of people's lives and property.
Transferring the masses, ensuring no household is missed and no one is left behind.
On July 27, Shuangluan District (双滦区), Chengde City (承德市), Hebei Province (河北省) encountered heavy rainfall, and the water level of the Luan River (滦河) rose rapidly. Nanshangen Village (南山根村), Chenshanzizhen (陈栅子镇), built along the river, became one of the hardest-hit areas.
"Not a minute can be delayed! The masses in low-lying areas must be evacuated!" Duan Zhipeng (段志朋), Secretary of the Party Branch of Nanshangen Village, decisively stated.
Duan Zhipeng immediately organized the formulation of an emergency plan, clarifying the division of responsibilities. Five village committee cadres and 15 village group leaders quickly began to transfer the masses. Knocking on doors, shouting, helping, carrying people... Party member cadres investigated the situation household by household, rescuing trapped people.
When a person was found trapped in a pen about to be flooded, Duan Jinlong (段金龙), a member of the Party Branch Committee of Nanshangen Village, rushed into the raging torrent without hesitation. He said, "I couldn't be afraid, I had to rescue the person!" In the end, all 880 people in Nanshangen Village were safely evacuated.
At a little after 11:00 a.m. on July 23, in the mountains of Banzhu Village (斑竹村), Santao Township (三桃乡), Weixin County (威信县), Zhaotong City (昭通市), Yunnan Province (云南省), "Boom!" The soil and rocks, saturated with water, collapsed instantly. Zhai Changyong (翟长勇), Secretary of the General Party Branch of Banzhu Village, stood in the rain, thankful that he had just transferred 30 households with 101 people to a safe area.
Going back to 8:00 p.m. on July 22, after receiving an early warning of heavy rainfall and geological disasters, the General Party Branch of Banzhu Village immediately activated the early warning response mechanism. "Telephone, WeChat groups, emergency broadcasts, all methods that could notify the masses were used," said Zhai Changyong. The Party member commando team began 24-hour monitoring of geological disaster hazards.
At about 9:30 a.m. on July 23, Zhai Changyong received a message: a mountain road had cracked with a gap about 20 centimeters wide.
"Evacuate now!" The urgent sound of gongs resounded throughout the village, and Party member cadres immediately shouted door-to-door to transfer the masses. A little after 11:00 a.m., after the people were evacuated, a landslide occurred.
"In the face of disasters, grassroots Party organizations must play their role as fighting fortresses, safeguarding the safety of the masses' lives, and ensuring that no household is missed and no one is left behind," said Zhai Changyong.
Taking the lead, rushing wherever there is danger.
The more urgent, difficult, and dangerous the situation, the more important it is to take the lead.
On the evening of July 27, Pinggu District (平谷区), Beijing (北京市) upgraded the heavy rainstorm warning to red.
"Our standby team members gathered at the team headquarters early, ready to head towards danger," said Sun Yanli (孙艳丽), Secretary of the Party Branch of the Pinggu Blue Sky Rescue Team (平谷蓝天救援队).
The disaster situation in Beishuiyu Village (北水峪村), Zhenluoying Town (镇罗营镇), Pinggu District was severe, with roads completely destroyed and communication signals interrupted. The team members overcame all difficulties and advanced towards the village. When machinery and vehicles could not reach, they used their hands to move stones; when there was water accumulation at key points, they used portable water pumps to drain the water... Finally, they opened up a mountain road that could be passable.
"We feel relieved that you have come!" The villagers of Beishuiyu Village were very moved to see the arriving rescue team. During this extreme heavy rainfall weather, the Pinggu Blue Sky Rescue Team fought continuously for 38 hours, transferring and evacuating more than 1,000 affected people.
"The pumping unit is in place!" Lu Xiaoqiao (陆小桥), a Party member of the State Grid Xianfeng County Power Supply Company (国网咸丰县供电公司), said, leading the way by jumping into the cold and dirty accumulated water to lay drainage pipes. At a little after 3:00 a.m. on July 1, the accumulated water in the underground power distribution room of a residential area on Wenhua Road (文化路), Xianfeng County (咸丰县), Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (恩施土家族苗族自治州), Hubei Province (湖北省) had exceeded knee height.
From the night of June 30 to July 1, Xianfeng County was hit by a rare and extremely heavy rainstorm, and urban areas and some towns experienced waterlogging, putting people's lives in difficulty. In response to the critical situation of the underground power distribution rooms of four residential areas in the county being flooded and some lines being damaged, the State Grid Xianfeng County Power Supply Company dispatched a Party member commando team to carry out line repairs and other work.
Restoring power in the urban area was extremely urgent, and repairs in rural areas were equally imperative. At the 10 kV Leilong Line (乐龙线) repair site, Party member commando team members built temporary passages with ropes on steep and slippery mountain slopes, carrying heavy transformers on their shoulders and with their hands... For the repair of both power and communication lines, Party members and the masses worked side by side, mobilizing more than 270 people and more than 60 emergency communication vehicles, lighting up thousands of homes and restoring communication in the shortest possible time.
Post-disaster reconstruction, Party members lead the way, and the masses follow.
In late June, Meilin Township (梅林乡), Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County (三江侗族自治县), Liuzhou City (柳州市), Guangxi (广西) ushered in a flood peak, resulting in severe damage to village houses, farmland, infrastructure, etc.
"Party members first in post-disaster reconstruction!" The Party Committee of Meilin Township issued a call, mobilizing more than 100 people, including Party member cadres, village-based work team members, and volunteers, to form a disaster investigation team, conducting a grid-style investigation village by village and household by household to fully ascertain the extent of the disaster.
The Township Government Party Branch launched a pioneer action to clear silt and disinfect, with 30 Party members taking the lead in clearing silt from the streets, driving more than 300 people to join the cleaning team, and enterprises, units, and individuals enthusiastically donating materials. The Village Party Branch organized neighborhood mutual assistance teams, with the broad masses of Party members responsible for distributing materials by area, ensuring that donated materials were accurately delivered to the masses.
Under the bright red Party flags, Party members lead the way, the masses follow, and society works together. After 14 days of hard work, silt was cleared from streets and alleys, fields gradually regained vitality, and homes were renewed.
On the afternoon of July 25, in Dongpo Village (东坡村), Deshenggou Township (得胜沟乡), Wuchuan County (武川县), Hohhot City (呼和浩特市), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), heavy rain triggered a flash flood, and the water level of the river beside the village rose rapidly, and the situation was critical.
The village's "Red Cavalry Team" (红色骑兵队) immediately assembled. This volunteer service team, composed of Party members and the masses of Dongpo Village, quickly threw themselves into flood prevention and disaster relief work. They followed the emergency plan to notify villagers to evacuate and take shelter household by household. After a night of rescue and joint department repairs, all 80 households with 132 people in the village were safely evacuated, and no one was injured.
Investigating hidden dangers, clearing silt and disinfecting, reinforcing damaged houses... After the heavy rain, the "Red Cavalry Team" continued to be busy on the front line of post-disaster reconstruction, driving villagers to join in. Reinforcing 2 kilometers of embankments, dredging 13 kilometers of roads, clearing more than 7,000 cubic meters of silt... After 17 days, the disaster relief and recovery work was basically completed.
A Party branch is a fortress, and a Party member is a banner. When storms strike, they are the backbone of the masses and a solid reliance for safeguarding their homes.

Last July, China officially took over the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) for 2024-2025. Over the past year, with the slogan "Promoting the 'Shanghai Spirit': The SCO in Action," China has implemented more than 100 presidential activities, promoted reform and innovation in the SCO's deliberation mechanisms, cooperation models, permanent institutions, and other aspects, leading the SCO to act efficiently and achieve more, and continuously deepening practical cooperation in various fields.
Value-led, serving as the torchbearer of the "Shanghai Spirit"
In April of this year, the delegation of national coordinators of the SCO member states visited Shanghai (上海) and made a special visit to Yixing Pavilion (逸兴亭) in the Xijiao State Guest Hotel (西郊宾馆). On June 14, 24 years ago, the heads of state of the SCO member states held an informal meeting here. The next day, the meeting of the heads of state of the SCO member states was held. After the meeting, the heads of state of the six countries jointly signed the "Declaration on the Establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation." In 2006, the heads of state planted a white magnolia tree symbolizing friendship next to the pavilion, which is now lush and leafy.
In July of this year, when President Xi Jinping (习近平) collectively met with the foreign ministers and heads of permanent institutions of the SCO member states who came to China to attend the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the SCO, he pointed out that mutual trust and mutual benefit should be the basis of cooperation, equality and consultation should be the way to get along, respect for diverse civilizations should promote harmony and inclusiveness, and seeking common development should achieve win-win prosperity, so that the "Shanghai Spirit" will continue to illuminate the path of building a community of shared future for the SCO.
SCO Secretary-General Zhang Ming (张明) said that the key to the development of the SCO lies in adhering to the "Shanghai Spirit," which helps promote the sustainable development of member states, strengthen friendly relations between the people of member states, and maintain peace and stability in the region and the world.
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov (拉夫罗夫) said that the SCO, adhering to the "Shanghai Spirit," has achieved remarkable cooperation results and its international appeal has continued to increase. Practice has proved that the "Shanghai Spirit" is in line with the common interests of member states and has strong vitality.
"During China's rotating presidency, the SCO has practiced the 'Shanghai Spirit' and maintained regional security and stability in a complex and volatile international environment, contributing to the construction of a more just, reasonable, and inclusive global governance system," said Khalid Akram, Executive Director of the Center for Global Strategic Studies of Pakistan and Executive Director of the Pakistan Research Center for Human Destiny Community.
Seeking truth and being pragmatic, acting as an action faction to deepen cooperation
The SCO has expanded into a "SCO family" of 26 countries. Since China took over the rotating presidency, the SCO has carried out extensive and practical cooperation in multiple fields and dimensions, effectively responding to the "SCO family's" ardent expectations for common development.
In the 30,000-square-meter smart greenhouse, modern agricultural technologies such as deep liquid flow technology and hanging soilless cultivation ensure the year-round supply of vegetables and fruits. In May of this year, the participants of the SCO Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development Forum visited the Yangling Smart Agriculture Demonstration Park (陕西杨凌智慧农业示范园) in Shaanxi (陕西). "China has made significant progress in promoting sustainable agricultural development, providing referential experience for ensuring food security and sustainable agricultural development in SCO countries," said SCO Deputy Secretary-General Janesh Cain.
360 exhibitors and 2,905 purchasers gathered at the 2025 SCO International Investment and Trade Expo; 12 digital economy cooperation projects were signed at the 2025 SCO Digital Economy Forum; the "China-SCO Countries Artificial Intelligence Application Cooperation Center Construction Plan" and the "SCO Supply Chain Development Research Report" were released... Over the past year, the "SCO family" has focused on development momentum, innovated cooperation mechanisms and cooperation models in the fields of economic and trade investment, public health, intelligent universal benefit, and poverty reduction, and promoted SCO countries to steadily move towards the goal of achieving common prosperity and revitalization.
Those who interact with their hearts will achieve long-term success. The SCO Civil Friendship Forum and the Friendship City Forum have tightened the bonds of civil friendship and cooperation, the "SCO Family Youth Friendship Forest" tree planting activity has cultivated seedlings of friendship and hope, the Second SCO National Television Festival has built a platform for exchange and cooperation in the field of radio and television audio-visual, and the "2024-2025 SCO Tourism and Culture Capital" cultural tourism exchange week activities have promoted the exchange and sharing of cultural tourism resources... China has built a solid public opinion and social foundation for the SCO with rich and diverse cultural exchanges.
Assuming the mission, acting as a firm practitioner of building a community of human destiny
Faced with major changes unseen in a century, the international community has increasingly realized that mankind is a community of shared destiny, and only by working together and living in harmony can we jointly usher in a better future. Over the past year, the SCO has adhered to the concept of building a community of human destiny, pointing out the way forward for regional countries to work together in harmony and develop together.
"China has embarked on a path of Chinese-style modernization and put forward a series of cooperation initiatives, which will inject strong impetus into the vast number of developing countries to seek peace and development together," said Mohammad Saleh Sedghian, director of the Iranian Center for Arab Studies. Joining the SCO is an opportunity for Iran. China's development achievements have inspired and motivated the vast number of developing countries to explore their own development paths.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. The SCO has always stood on the right side of history and on the side of fairness and justice, promoted global governance to develop in a more just and reasonable direction, and united and led the Global South to gather the mighty force of building a community of human destiny.
Andrei Rusakovich, professor of the Eurasian Studies Department of Belarusian State University, said that under China's leadership, the SCO has further consolidated cooperation consensus, issued a louder "SCO voice" for safeguarding multilateralism and promoting the common values of all mankind, and made more "SCO contributions" to promoting the construction of a community of human destiny.
During the SCO Tianjin Summit, President Xi Jinping (习近平) will jointly sign and issue the "Tianjin Declaration" with other member state leaders, approve the "SCO Development Strategy for the Next 10 Years," issue a statement on the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations, and adopt a series of outcome documents on strengthening security, economic, and cultural cooperation, pointing out the direction for the future development of the SCO. Looking forward to the future, the SCO countries will, under the guidance of the "Shanghai Spirit," build political consensus, stimulate cooperation momentum, issue a common voice, and take joint actions to inject more stability and resilience into the turbulent and changing world, and jointly create a better tomorrow for building a community of human destiny.

While achieving rapid economic growth and a substantial increase in people's living standards, China has always adhered to traditional cultural values, proving that each country can rely on its own historical and cultural characteristics to achieve development. "Chinese-style modernization provides important inspiration for the vast number of developing countries, including Central Asian countries."
In July last year, during President Xi Jinping's (习近平) state visit to Tajikistan, the heads of state of the two countries signed a joint statement announcing the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Tajikistan in the new era, and unanimously decided to work together at a higher starting point to build a China-Tajikistan community with a shared future that is friendly from generation to generation, shares weal and woe, and is mutually beneficial and win-win. Rahmon (拉赫蒙) said that President Xi Jinping's (习近平) visit was a major event in the history of the development of Tajikistan-China relations. During the visit, the two countries identified a series of key directions for deepening strategic cooperative relations, pointing out the way forward for the development of bilateral relations in the new era. Tajikistan attaches great importance to the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the three global initiatives. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative provides broad opportunities for global economic integration, infrastructure development, and international relations expansion, and the three global initiatives inject valuable stability and positive energy into a world intertwined with changes and chaos, which has been widely recognized by the international community. Rahmon (拉赫蒙) said: "Tajikistan actively supports these initiatives and is willing to closely coordinate and cooperate with China at the bilateral and multilateral levels to promote regional and global security, stability, development, and prosperity."
Rahmon (拉赫蒙) stated that Tajikistan attaches great importance to cooperation with China in advanced technology, green development, and investment. Over the years, within the framework of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road," the two countries have jointly implemented a large number of infrastructure, energy, and industrial projects. The construction of important infrastructure such as highways, tunnels, and transmission lines has not only improved Tajikistan's domestic transportation and power supply, but also vigorously promoted Tajikistan's industrial integration into regional and international networks. Rahmon (拉赫蒙) firmly believes that Tajikistan's "National Development Strategy by 2030" is deeply integrated with the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, and "Tajikistan-China economic and trade cooperation will surely reach new heights, making greater contributions to the sustainable development and prosperity of the two countries and the entire region."
"There is no doubt that the SCO plays an important role in promoting regional development and maintaining regional stability," said Rahmon (拉赫蒙). He added that in the 24 years since its establishment, the SCO has continuously deepened political mutual trust among its member states, and cooperation in various fields has yielded fruitful results, successfully forging a path of regional cooperation that conforms to the trend of the times and meets the needs of all parties, establishing a model of a new type of international relations. "Against the backdrop of increasing global instability and uncertainty, the rise of unilateralism and protectionism, and the increasing risk of division and confrontation, the SCO has become an important force for maintaining regional stability and promoting mutually beneficial cooperation."
"China has made important contributions to the development of the SCO," said Rahmon (拉赫蒙), highly affirming the practical measures taken by China within the SCO framework. "China actively builds infrastructure, develops renewable energy, and expands trade scale. These measures help promote the sustainable and diversified development of member states' economies." Rahmon (拉赫蒙) especially thanked China for actively supporting the establishment of the SCO Anti-Drug Center in Dushanbe (杜尚别), and firmly believes that "the center will play a substantial role in strengthening regional cooperation and combating drug crimes."
Rahmon (拉赫蒙) stated that the Tianjin (天津) Summit will help member states deepen cooperation and point the way forward for the future development of the SCO. Rahmon (拉赫蒙) praised China's active role as the rotating presidency of the SCO, believing that China's series of effective measures have significantly enhanced the SCO's overall strength and international status. "Tajikistan highly recognizes and fully supports the various agendas proposed by China as the rotating presidency of the SCO. We firmly believe that the Tianjin (天津) Summit will further promote the SCO to a new stage of high-quality development," said Rahmon (拉赫蒙).
Injecting New Impetus into Global Sustainable Development
——Interview with Maldivian President Muizzu (穆伊兹)
By Zhang Niansheng (章念生) and Bai Yuanqi (白元琪), Reporters of This Newspaper
"As the rotating presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, China has demonstrated strong leadership, effectively promoting regional peace and prosperity, and continuously enhancing the organization's ability to cope with complex regional and global challenges." Maldivian President Muizzu (穆伊兹) said in an exclusive interview with this reporter a few days ago that as a dialogue partner of the SCO, the Maldives attaches great importance to cooperation with China and looks forward to the 2025 SCO Summit further building consensus, forming synergy, and injecting new impetus into global sustainable development.
Muizzu (穆伊兹) believes that China's designation of 2025 as the "SCO Year of Sustainable Development" is of great significance. As an island nation, the Maldives' survival and development are deeply affected by climate change, and the continuous rise in sea levels, frequent extreme storms, and shortage of freshwater resources have brought real pressure to the country's economic and social development. He said: "I hope that within the SCO framework, all parties will firmly fulfill their climate action commitments and explore the establishment of an innovative achievement sharing mechanism to help developing countries more effectively achieve sustainable development goals."
Talking about Maldives-China relations, Muizzu (穆伊兹) said: "Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries 53 years ago, they have always respected and supported each other, setting a model of equal treatment and mutual benefit and win-win results between large and small countries. China has helped us achieve unprecedented development results through a number of aid programs and financial loan projects." He highly praised the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge, which officially opened in 2018, believing that this Chinese-aided project is "the crystallization of cooperation between the two countries" and "an important channel to prosperity."
In January 2024, shortly after taking office as president, Muizzu (穆伊兹) made China the destination of his first state visit. During the visit, the heads of state of China and the Maldives announced the elevation of bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership and jointly committed to building a China-Maldives community with a shared future. Muizzu (穆伊兹) said: "I reiterated my firm support for the one-China principle and reached a consensus with President Xi Jinping (习近平) on pioneering cooperation in the fields of economy and trade, investment, and tourism."
During his visit to China last year, Muizzu (穆伊兹) also visited the Museum of the History of the Communist Party of China to gain an in-depth understanding of the CPC's magnificent century-long struggle and was deeply impressed by China's development achievements. He also paid special attention to the museum's management model: "This is very inspiring for our ongoing national museum renovation project. The museum was aided by the Chinese government, and the Maldivian people are always grateful for this."
As one of the first countries to respond to the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the Maldives has benefited greatly from it. Muizzu (穆伊兹) said: "The joint construction of the 'Belt and Road' has greatly broadened the country's development space and helped the Maldives achieve economic growth and create employment opportunities." He further pointed out that China is the Maldives' largest source of tourists and an important partner, and cooperation projects between the two countries in medical and health, environmental protection, tourism development, transportation, housing construction, and energy are steadily advancing, continuously improving the Maldives' infrastructure level and bringing tangible benefits to the people.
Muizzu (穆伊兹) highly praised the Global Development Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping (习近平), believing that this initiative places development at the center of the international agenda and is committed to promoting the common development of all mankind. "The Maldives is working closely with China to implement the specific goals of the Global Development Initiative." In Muizzu's (穆伊兹) view, the Global Development Initiative not only responds to the common concerns of countries around the world, but also provides important development opportunities for countries including the Maldives.
At the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization +" Astana (阿斯塔纳) Summit, President Xi Jinping (习近平) proposed building "five common homes" of unity and mutual trust, peace and tranquility, prosperity and development, good-neighborliness and friendship, and fairness and justice. Muizzu (穆伊兹) said that this vision fully reflects the core values of multilateralism and promotes the coordinated development of all parties through mutual respect, inclusiveness, mutual learning, and common progress. "As a developing island nation, we deeply feel the importance of fairness, inclusiveness, and collective response to challenges. The vision of 'five common homes' is particularly resonant: only when all countries, regardless of size, can participate equally and share the fruits, can security, prosperity, and sustainable development be truly realized."
Looking to the future, Muizzu (穆伊兹) said that the Maldives is willing to continue to work with China and other SCO countries to promote green transformation, expand digital cooperation, deepen cultural exchanges, and make positive contributions to the development of countries in the Global South. "We firmly believe that Maldives-China cooperation will not only benefit the people of the two countries, but also set a model for South-South cooperation."
Demonstrate the Global Significance of SCO Cooperation
——Interview with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif (夏巴兹·谢里夫)
By Cheng Shijie (程是颉), Reporter of This Newspaper
"Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping (习近平), China is constantly injecting new impetus into the development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization with concrete actions." Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif (夏巴兹·谢里夫) said in an interview with this reporter a few days ago that the SCO is a vivid proof of effective multilateralism, and Pakistan looks forward to the 2025 SCO Summit further promoting regional security, stability, and prosperity, and bringing new opportunities to the region and the international community.
Sharif (谢里夫) said that in the 24 years since its establishment, the SCO has continued to grow, and its successful experience shows that sovereign equality, regional stability, and cooperative development can be achieved within a multilateral cooperation framework. In today's complex and volatile international situation and intensified geopolitical games, the SCO provides an important platform for respecting diverse civilizations and seeking common development. As a member state of the SCO, Pakistan follows the "Shanghai Spirit" and works closely with regional countries in the fields of development, security, and connectivity, giving full play to the increasing synergy among member states to promote regional development and prosperity.
"The Tianjin (天津) Summit demonstrates the global significance of SCO cooperation," said Sharif (谢里夫). He added that the SCO's influence is no longer limited to the region, but is constantly releasing the dividends of security, stability, and economic development to surrounding areas, becoming an important stabilizing force for promoting international solidarity and cooperation.
"Pakistan highly appreciates China's positive role in the SCO," said Sharif (谢里夫). He added that under the leadership of President Xi Jinping (习近平), China has taken "action" as its banner to promote the implementation of SCO cooperation initiatives, significantly enriching the connotation of SCO cooperation. Especially in the economic field, China promotes diversified cooperation through the SCO platform, bringing new development opportunities to neighboring countries. These initiatives are highly consistent with Pakistan's policies to promote regional multilateral cooperation and development. Pakistan actively participates in cooperation in agriculture, green development, digital economy, and other fields within the SCO framework, and continues to achieve positive results.
In 2024, Pakistan hosted the 23rd meeting of the Council of Heads of Government (Prime Ministers) of the SCO member states. Sharif (谢里夫) said that this is an important milestone for Pakistan's deep participation in the SCO agenda. "Through this meeting, Pakistan elaborated on new ideas for the practice of SCO multilateral cooperation and made beneficial contributions to the development of the SCO," said Sharif (谢里夫). He added that Pakistan proposed promoting the SCO to strengthen cooperation in education, culture, youth exchanges, and other fields, laying a good humanistic foundation for long-term cooperation among SCO member states.
Sharif (谢里夫) said that the friendship between Pakistan and China has stood the test of time, and pragmatic cooperation between the two sides has continued to make new progress. In the economic field, Pakistan actively promotes the strengthening of connections between enterprises of the two countries and promotes close cooperation between the two sides in more industrial fields. In the field of cultural exchanges, the bonds of mutual learning and exchange are constantly tightened in the exchanges and cooperation between people from all walks of life in the two countries, and media exchanges and cooperation between the two sides are also constantly expanding.
Sharif (谢里夫) said that the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and the importance of the SCO in enhancing mutual trust, building consensus, and promoting cooperation is becoming increasingly prominent. Pakistan will work with China and other SCO countries to adhere to the "Shanghai Spirit," expand connectivity and pragmatic cooperation, promote the SCO to release greater potential, promote regional prosperity and stability, and contribute more to promoting world peace and development.
Welcome More Like-Minded Countries
——Interview with Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫)
By Qu Pei (屈佩), Reporter of This Newspaper
"As a responsible major country, China promotes the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to continuously enhance its influence." On the occasion of the 2025 SCO Summit, Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) said in an exclusive interview with this reporter that China actively promoted pragmatic cooperation in various fields and built a multi-level dialogue platform during its tenure as the rotating presidency of the SCO, making positive contributions to the development of the SCO.
The SCO has expanded from 6 founding member states to a "SCO family" composed of 26 countries, becoming the regional international organization with the largest coverage area and the largest population in the world today. Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) believes that the SCO has built a cooperation platform for regional countries to treat each other equally, respect each other, and develop together, and its development process reflects the attractiveness of the "Shanghai Spirit" and the purposes and principles of the SCO Charter. "Welcome more like-minded countries to join the SCO," said Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫).
Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) noted that during China's tenure as the rotating presidency, it implemented more than 100 activities in the political, security, economic, and cultural fields, with a series of high-level ministerial meetings running through them, and exchanges and cooperation in various fields were in full swing. The SCO Tianjin (天津) Summit attracted more than 20 foreign leaders and 10 heads of international organizations to gather on the coast of the Bohai Sea. Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) said: "The Tianjin (天津) Summit is the climax of China's chairmanship and will surely be a fruitful event."
This year is the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Year of Sustainable Development." Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) said that China has actively promoted cooperation in poverty reduction, food security, public health, climate change, green development, industrialization, digital economy, connectivity, and other fields around this theme, achieving remarkable results.
China and Kyrgyzstan are both founding member states of the SCO and have worked closely together within the organization framework for many years, making important contributions to its stable development. Kyrgyzstan will take over as the rotating presidency of the SCO from 2025 to 2026. Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) said that Kyrgyzstan will further promote the "Shanghai Spirit," focus on promoting trade and investment cooperation, strengthen regional connectivity, strengthen security cooperation, and promote cultural exchanges. As a landlocked country in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan will pay special attention to issues such as water resource protection, green technology development, and climate change response. "Next year marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the SCO, and we look forward to all parties gathering in Kyrgyzstan."
Talking about Kyrgyzstan-China bilateral relations, Kulubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) said that China is one of Kyrgyzstan's most important partners. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992, the relations between the two countries have achieved leapfrog development and have been elevated to a comprehensive strategic partnership in the new era. "Kyrgyzstan and China have the neighborly friendship of mountains and rivers connected and a long tradition of friendly exchanges. The two countries have close economic ties and work together to meet common challenges on the basis of mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit, openness, and inclusiveness."
In 2023, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov (扎帕罗夫) visited China and attended the first China-Central Asia Summit in Xi'an (西安). In February of this year, President Japarov (扎帕罗夫) paid a state visit to China and attended the opening ceremony of the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin (哈尔滨). On August 31, President Japarov (扎帕罗夫) came to China again to attend the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit and the upcoming activities commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Kurubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) emphasized that head-of-state diplomacy leads Kyrgyzstan-China relations to new heights.
Kurubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) believes that in the past two years, Kyrgyzstan and China have had close contacts and exchanges between legislative bodies, governments, departments, and regions, with frequent personnel visits. He said: "A high degree of political mutual trust has created favorable conditions for economic and trade cooperation. China has long been one of Kyrgyzstan's most important trade and investment partners, and the two sides will continue to expand cooperation in political, economic, transportation, investment, cultural, and humanitarian fields."
In December 2024, the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project was officially launched. In April of this year, the construction of three tunnels in the Kyrgyz section of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway began, marking the entry of the project's main line engineering into the substantive construction stage. "The three countries will complete the railway construction with high quality, opening up new and broad prospects for the common development of the region." Kurubaev (库鲁巴耶夫) said that the project will significantly improve the level of regional connectivity, promote economic development, and create a large number of jobs in the construction and operation phases. "The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway will become an important transportation artery of the Eurasian continent, enhance the competitiveness of the Central Asian region as an international transportation hub, promote the development of countries along the route, and enhance the well-being of the people," he said.
The Era Value of the "Shanghai Spirit" Becomes Increasingly Prominent
——An Interview with SCO Secretary-General Zhang Ming (张明)
By Qu Pei (屈佩) and Zhang Kaifeng (章凯风), reporters of this newspaper
"The 'China Year' of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a fruitful year of great significance in the organization's development." SCO Secretary-General Zhang Ming (张明) said in an exclusive interview with reporters from this newspaper recently that more than 20 foreign leaders and 10 heads of international organizations gathered in Tianjin (天津) to jointly plan for unity and cooperation and jointly draw a blueprint for development. "The Tianjin Summit will surely play a constructive role in promoting multilateralism, strengthening unity and cooperation, and jointly responding to risks and challenges."
As the rotating presidency, China's slogan is "Promoting the 'Shanghai Spirit': The SCO in Action." Zhang Ming (张明) said that in the past year or so, China has fully implemented more than 100 presidency activities in the fields of politics, security, economy, trade, and culture, promoting the all-round deepening of SCO cooperation.
At the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization +" Astana (阿斯塔纳) Summit held last year, President Xi Jinping (习近平) proposed building "five common homes" of unity and mutual trust, peace and tranquility, prosperity and development, good-neighborliness and friendship, and fairness and justice. Zhang Ming (张明) said that the "five common homes" are a sublimation of the "Shanghai Spirit" in the new era, pointing out the direction for the long-term development of the SCO, and also embodying the organization's consistent values and cooperation concepts.
"As one of the founding member states, China's significant contributions to the development of the SCO are obvious to all." Zhang Ming (张明) emphasized that China has always promoted the "Shanghai Spirit" with innovative concepts and pragmatic actions, playing an irreplaceable role in consolidating regional security and stability and helping member states achieve common development, and continuously enhancing the centripetal force and cohesion of building a community with a shared future for the SCO.
2025 is the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Year of Sustainable Development." Zhang Ming (张明) believes that the development goals of the SCO are highly consistent with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Since the beginning of this year, China and other SCO countries have held a series of fruitful activities in the fields of poverty reduction, environmental protection, public health, and green economy, contributing SCO strength to the global sustainable development cause.
The "SCO family" continues to grow, and the era value of the "Shanghai Spirit," which is based on "mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and pursuit of common development," is becoming increasingly prominent. Zhang Ming (张明) said that the SCO's attractiveness continues to increase, stemming from its commitment to defending a just and reasonable international order, a new type of cooperation model that transcends group confrontation thinking, and a way of getting along that adheres to equal consultation. Because of this, more and more countries hope to join the "SCO family" and participate in the rich cooperation agenda as member states, observer states, and dialogue partners.
Since taking office as Secretary-General of the SCO, Zhang Ming (张明) has visited 10 SCO member states and attended many important events. He said that the SCO has always adhered to its original aspiration of maintaining regional peace and tranquility and has continued to deepen security cooperation; practiced the concept of common development and promoted pragmatic cooperation in trade, investment, finance, digital economy, and other fields, so that the fruits of cooperation benefit the people of all countries; listened to the voices of the people of all countries and improved exchange mechanisms in education, tourism, sports, and other fields; adhered to fairness and justice and continued to promote the construction of a more just and reasonable global governance system.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Zhang Ming (张明) said that the current international situation is turbulent and unstable, and the peace and stability that were exchanged for blood and lives in World War II are facing severe challenges. In this context, the SCO adheres to cross-civilizational dialogue and good-neighborly friendship, continuously strengthens unity and cooperation, and promotes common development. "Adhering to the 'Shanghai Spirit,' the SCO will continue to work with the international community to make important contributions to promoting world peace, stability, and long-term stability."
"The SCO Ship" Takes Friendship as the Rudder and Cooperation as the Sail
——An Interview with Former SCO Secretary-General Rashid Alimov (拉希德·阿利莫夫)
By Zhang Guangzheng (张光政), reporter of this newspaper
"Since its establishment in Shanghai (上海), China, in 2001, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has become the largest regional international organization in the world in terms of coverage and population. Today, the 'SCO family' has 10 member states, 2 observer states, and 14 dialogue partners." Rashid Alimov (拉希德·阿利莫夫), professor at the National Academy of Administration under the President of Tajikistan and former Secretary-General of the SCO, said in an exclusive interview with reporters from this newspaper recently that more and more countries are applying to join the SCO, demonstrating the organization's increasing international prestige and influence.
"The SCO is not a talking shop, but a doer." Alimov (阿利莫夫) said that in the 24 years since its establishment, the SCO has continuously deepened cooperation in security, economy, trade, culture, and other fields, the security environment of member states has continued to improve, the regional economy has grown rapidly, people-to-people connectivity has continued to deepen, the cake of mutually beneficial cooperation has become larger and larger, and the forces of development and progress have become stronger and stronger.
Alimov (阿利莫夫) believes that the "secret" to the SCO's successful development lies in its creative proposal and practice of the "Shanghai Spirit" of "mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and pursuit of common development." This spirit transcends the "clash of civilizations" theory, the old thinking of the Cold War and zero-sum games, and the old model of "small circles," opening a new chapter in the history of international relations. "'The SCO ship' takes friendship as the rudder and cooperation as the sail, and time has proven that its course is correct," Alimov (阿利莫夫) said.
From August 31 to September 1, the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit will be held in Tianjin (天津), China. Alimov (阿利莫夫) said that since China took over as the rotating presidency of the SCO in July 2024, it has implemented more than 100 presidency activities. These activities have consolidated political mutual trust among SCO member states, maintained common security, promoted common prosperity, strengthened people-to-people exchanges, improved mechanism effectiveness, and effectively maintained regional security and stability and promoted regional development.
"In 2018, China successfully hosted the historic SCO Summit in Qingdao (青岛). There is no doubt that the summit in Tianjin (天津) will open a new chapter in the development of the SCO and benefit all member states and their people," Alimov (阿利莫夫) said. "Importantly, the Tianjin Summit coincides with the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Most SCO member states fought side by side against fascism and achieved victory. Peace, stability, development, and prosperity are the goals that the SCO is committed to pursuing, and the organization is committed to contributing to regional and world peace."
From 2005 to 2018, Alimov (阿利莫夫) served as the Tajik Ambassador to China and the Secretary-General of the SCO. During those 13 years, he visited many places in China and observed China's development up close. In his view, China has a strong attraction for Central Asian countries in many aspects: a good-neighborly and friendly policy, an efficient development model, technologies and investments that can be introduced, experience in creating jobs and eliminating poverty, and promoting the common development of co-construction countries through the joint construction of the "Belt and Road," etc. These cooperation efforts have not only accelerated China's own development but have also brought tremendous opportunities to other SCO member states.
"Most SCO member states are located along the ancient Silk Road, and all countries attach great importance to mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation in transportation, industry, and other fields, promoting economic growth and expanding employment through increased investment and technological innovation." Alimov (阿利莫夫) said that adhering to the principles of joint consultation, joint construction, and shared benefits, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has created huge economic and social benefits and won widespread global support.

The National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) recently held a press conference. Li Chao (李超), Deputy Director of the Policy Research Office and Spokesperson of the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委), answered reporters' questions on hot issues such as fluctuations in some economic indicators, the "Artificial Intelligence +" initiative, and bidding and tendering reform.
China's domestic demand has huge growth potential, and we must unswervingly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand.
In July, the growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods decreased by 1.1 percentage points compared with the previous month. From January to July, the year-on-year growth rate of fixed asset investment decreased compared with January to June. How should we view the fluctuations in some economic indicators?
"It should be noted that the overall trend of expanding consumption and optimizing the investment structure in China has not changed." Li Chao (李超) analyzed: In terms of consumption, the total retail sales of consumer goods in July increased by 3.7% year-on-year, and the service market sales were generally stable; in terms of investment, from January to July, investment in high-end industries such as aerospace vehicle and equipment manufacturing, computer and office equipment manufacturing, and information service industry increased by 33.9%, 16%, and 32.8% respectively, and the investment structure continued to be optimized.
"More importantly, we should see that China's domestic demand has huge growth potential. China has become the world's largest consumer of physical goods, but the per capita consumption of physical goods still has a relatively large room for improvement compared with developed countries, and the development potential of service consumption is huge." Li Chao (李超) said that the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) will work with relevant departments to unswervingly implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, further strengthen the internal circulation, optimize the external circulation, and improve the dual circulation.
The first is to play a combined punch to boost consumption and stimulate market vitality. In terms of improving capabilities, carry out large-scale vocational skills improvement training actions, fully promote employment for key groups, and improve the adjustment mechanism for minimum wage standards. In terms of expanding high-quality supply, implement the policy of replacing old consumer goods with new ones in a stable and orderly manner, and accelerate the introduction and implementation of policies in the fields of first-release economy, digital consumption, and "artificial intelligence + consumption." In terms of optimizing the consumption environment, strengthen the supervision and law enforcement of product quality and safety, and create reassuring service consumption brands.
The second is to vigorously tap potential growth points and expand investment increments. In terms of government investment, focus on key areas to plan and reserve a number of key projects that are needed for development, can be done locally, and are expected by the masses. In terms of private investment, seize the time to study and introduce policy measures to promote the development of private investment, and improve the long-term mechanism for private enterprises to participate in the construction of major national projects.
The third is to focus on key areas and key tasks, and accelerate the construction of a unified national market. Study and formulate an action plan to promote the construction of a unified national market in depth. Strengthen the notification of typical cases that hinder the construction of a unified national market, continue to promote the clean-up and rectification of market access barriers, unify the standards of government behavior, and further regulate local investment promotion behavior. Accelerate the revision of the Price Law, issue rules on price behavior for Internet platforms, and accelerate the governance of disorderly competition and market disorder in some areas.
"Hard investment" and "soft construction" work together to implement the "Artificial Intelligence +" initiative in depth.
Not long ago, the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) submitted the "Opinions on Deeply Implementing the 'Artificial Intelligence +' Initiative" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") to the State Council (国务院) for issuance. Next, how to promote the implementation of the "Artificial Intelligence +" initiative?
Zhang Kailin (张铠麟), Deputy Director of the High-Tech Department of the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委), said that it will adhere to the simultaneous efforts of "hard investment" and "soft construction" and focus on three key tasks.
Grasp supporting policies. The first is to formulate specific implementation plans for "Artificial Intelligence +" in several key industry areas proposed in the "Opinions", and further refine the goals, tasks, key directions, and work measures of each industry. The second is to formulate policy guidelines on "soft environment" aspects such as safety governance, talent training, and international cooperation to provide more specific and clear policy guidance for industry applications. The third is to accelerate the formulation of standards at different levels and in different industries.
Grasp major projects. Give full play to the guiding role of government investment and support the development of artificial intelligence. The main tasks include optimizing the layout of intelligent computing resources, continuing to issue "artificial intelligence coupons" in areas such as computing power, and promoting the reduction of R&D and usage costs for innovative entities; building application pilot bases in key industry directions, gathering industry commonalities and advantageous resources, and reducing the threshold for technology application.
Grasp demonstration and leadership. On the one hand, strengthen scenario demonstration, and guide artificial intelligence model companies, research institutions, and leading industry enterprises to form cross-teams to deeply explore high-value scenarios. On the other hand, promote model innovation, and encourage qualified localities, enterprises, and institutions to actively explore in terms of supply and demand docking, element integration, and assessment incentives to form new models and new practices.
"The integration characteristics of various industries and artificial intelligence are not exactly the same, and it is necessary to follow the objective laws of technological and industrial development, and implement them step by step and gradually." said Huo Fupeng (霍福鹏), Director of the Innovation-Driven Development Center of the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委).
Bidding and tendering reform is steadily advancing, and private enterprises are more actively involved.
The bidding and tendering market is an important part of the unified national market and an important factor affecting the business environment. Since the issuance of the "Opinions on Innovating and Improving the System and Mechanism to Promote the Standardized and Healthy Development of the Bidding and Tendering Market" last year, what are the results of the relevant reforms? Li Chao (李超) introduced it from three aspects.
Grasp system construction, and the bidding and tendering rules are further optimized. Implement the "new national standard" for the management of bid evaluation experts, revise and issue the management measures for bid evaluation experts, and strengthen the full-cycle management of experts. Formulate the "new guidelines" for procurement by central enterprises, and promote central enterprises to implement procurement with the goal of optimal cost performance and optimal comprehensive cost throughout the life cycle. Clarify the "new benchmark" for fair competition, implement the fair competition review rules in the field of bidding and tendering, and revise and abolish more than 500 policy documents that violate fair competition.
Grasp digital empowerment, and the efficiency and transparency of bidding and tendering are further improved. In terms of process, promote "sunshine transactions" and fully implement the electronicization of the entire bidding and tendering process. In terms of methods, promote digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading, and explore the application of artificial intelligence large models to carry out intelligent bid evaluation, collusion identification, and compliance testing of bidding documents. In terms of transaction services, build a "one network" for mobile digital certificates (CA), unify the digital certificate standards in various regions of the country, and enterprises no longer need to "change a lock for each bid" when bidding across regions.
Grasp industry governance and resolutely crack down on illegal activities. For bidders, severely crack down on collusion activities. For bid evaluation experts, severely crack down on illegal bid evaluation activities and organize the clean-up of national bid evaluation experts. Since 2024, 38,000 illegal experts have been removed from the database, and all verified illegal experts in the expert databases in various regions have been "cleared."
"Over the past year, the bidding and tendering reform has been steadily advancing, and the outstanding problems that operating entities have strongly reflected have been gradually resolved. In particular, private enterprises are more actively involved in bidding and tendering. From January to July this year, 366,000 private enterprises won bids in the field of construction projects, an increase of 11.9% year-on-year; the number of projects won by private enterprises accounted for 76%." Li Chao (李超) said that the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) will work with relevant parties to promote the bidding and tendering market to continue to develop in a standardized and healthy direction.

"The soldier's gaze is firm, fixed on the front, as if continuing to protect our happy life," said Tan Ruoyao, a 10-year-old "Little Red Star" tour guide. At the former site of the Yunlong Adaptation of the Qiongya Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in Yunlong Town (云龙镇), Haikou (海口) City, Hainan Province (海南省), behind Tan Ruoyao, a full-body bronze statue of a Qiongya Anti-Japanese Independent Team (琼崖抗日独立队) soldier holding a steel gun stands tall. The front of the statue's base is inscribed with the inscription by Marshal Xu Xiangqian (徐向前): "Pioneer of the Qiongya Anti-Japanese War."
During World War II, the Hainan (Qiongya) (海南（琼崖）) enemy-occupied battlefield was one of the main anti-Japanese battlefields behind enemy lines in South China, holding a significant strategic position in the entire Asia-Pacific theater. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has visited Hainan (海南) many times, giving earnest instructions on making good use of red resources, "Make good use of red resources such as the Hainan Qiongya Column Memorial Site (海南琼崖纵队纪念场所) and the Red Detachment of Women Memorial Park (红色娘子军纪念园) to guide the vast number of Party members and cadres to strengthen their ideals and beliefs, inherit the red gene, and continue the red bloodline," and also leaving behind the heartwarming words that touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of farmers, "Whether or not there is moderate prosperity depends on the fellow villagers."
Recently, reporters visited Haikou (海口), Sanya (三亚), Wenchang (文昌), and other places to remember the anti-Japanese martyrs, relive the glorious history of the Qiongya (琼崖) military and civilians' more than six years of isolated island resistance and self-reliance, and feel the moderately prosperous life on the land of Qiongzhou (琼州) today.
Every Explanation is a Spiritual Cleansing
After the July 7th Incident (七七事变) broke out, according to the Communist Party of China's proposition on establishing an anti-Japanese national united front, the CPC Qiongya Special Committee (中共琼崖特委) took the initiative to seek negotiations with the Kuomintang Qiongya authorities, proposing to stop the civil war and unite against Japan.
"The location where we are is the former site of the June Grandmother Temple (六月婆庙旧址), and it was here that the famous 'Yunlong Adaptation (云龙改编)' took place," Tan Ruoyao (谭若瑶) introduced. "On December 5, 1938, the Qiongya Red Army Guerrilla Detachment (琼崖红军游击队) was reorganized into the 'Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Regiment 14th District Independent Detachment' (广东民众抗日自卫团第十四区独立队) (Qiongya Anti-Japanese Independent Team (琼崖抗日独立队)), with Feng Baiju (冯白驹) as the captain..."
Tan Ruoyao (谭若瑶) is from Class 1, Grade 4 of the Haikou Qiongya Column Red Army Primary School (海口琼崖纵队红军小学). Despite her young age, she has been a "Little Red Star" tour guide for 4 years.
"It was especially lively that day!" Following Tan Ruoyao's (谭若瑶) explanation, Feng Erdong (冯尔动), Feng Baiju's (冯白驹) nephew and a storyteller of Qiongya (琼崖) revolutionary stories for more than 40 years, opened the conversation, "Representatives of the Li (黎族) and Miao (苗族) ethnic groups from all over Qiongya (琼崖) came, everyone drumming and gongs, bringing meat, fruit and other condolences and supplies, the banner on the scene read 'Swear to Resist Japan and Defend Qiongya (琼崖)'."
On February 10, 1939, the Japanese army invaded Hainan Island (海南岛), occupying Haikou (海口) and Fucheng (府城) in just half a day, and then moved east, attempting to invade Wenchang (文昌) and Qionghai (琼海). "After my uncle learned the news, he immediately sent the First Detachment of more than 80 people to Tan Kou Ferry (潭口渡口) to block, which was the only way for the Japanese army to advance eastward," said Feng Erdong (冯尔动).
Tan Kou Ferry (潭口渡口) is located in Yunjiao Village (云蛟村), Yunlong Town (云龙镇). The story of the Qiongya Anti-Japanese Independent Team's (琼崖抗日独立队) bloody battle is still widely praised by the villagers. "Faced with the aggressive Japanese army, the First Detachment calmly responded and effectively blocked, firing the first shot of the CPC's (中国共产党) leadership in the Qiongya Anti-Japanese War," said Xian Enxi (冼恩喜), Secretary of the Second Party Branch of Yunjiao Village (云蛟村).
Feng Erdong (冯尔动) said that many young people joined the army, and the Qiongya Anti-Japanese Independent Team (琼崖抗日独立队) continued to grow, expanding several times from more than 300 people to more than 7,700 people, developing into an independent column, and establishing anti-Japanese base areas such as Qiongwen (琼文), Meihe (美合), Liuqinshan (六芹山), and Baisha (白沙), becoming the mainstay of the Qiongya Anti-Japanese War.
"Every explanation is a spiritual cleansing, allowing us to more truly understand the anti-Japanese martyrs and draw strength from the great spirit of the War of Resistance," said Tan Ruoyao (谭若瑶).
Looking at the "senior" little tour guide in front of him, Feng Erdong (冯尔动), 70, nodded with satisfaction. "The stories of the War of Resistance are passed down from generation to generation, told by each generation, and remembered by each generation. We should be self-reliant!"
The Former Anti-Japanese Base Area, Now the Characteristic Industry is Developing Vigorously
Meishan Anti-Japanese Base Area (梅山抗日根据地) is the southernmost anti-Japanese base area in China. The Meishan Revolutionary History Museum (梅山革命史馆), which condenses the deeds of the Meishan (梅山) military and civilians in defending their homeland, is located in Yazhou District (崖州区), Sanya City (三亚市). Local people know that the old curator Sun Cheng (孙诚) has a notebook.
"This is it!" Sun Cheng (孙诚), who is over seventy years old, carefully took out the original, the book has loose pages, the paper is yellowed. The owner of the notebook is Sun Cheng's (孙诚) father, Sun Jiazhong (孙家仲), which records in detail the Meishan people's assistance to the revolutionary team.
In those years, Sun Jiazhong (孙家仲) carried a notebook, traveled through the fields, and went to villages to raise food and money. "The grain was transported under the eyes of the Japanese army, often at night, or especially in windy and rainy weather," said Sun Cheng (孙诚).
"Mountains do not hide people, people hide people." This sentence is often on Feng Baiju's (冯白驹) lips. Anti-Japanese soldiers dressed up as farmers, eating and living with the people, and many bastion households emerged in Meishan (梅山). They used hollowed-out crabapple fruit to send messages, carts covered with cow dung to deliver grain, and medicine hidden in the dark compartments of oxcarts...
"As long as I have half a liter of rice, the troops will have half a liter of grain." Sun Cheng (孙诚) said that the people would rather eat mountain potatoes and wild vegetables than provide the saved grain to the anti-Japanese troops, and many women even donated their dowry that they had saved for many years.
More than 80 years ago, Meishan (梅山) was filled with smoke, and now flowers and fruits are fragrant all year round.
"Our village grows fruits from all over the world!" Mesi Village (梅西村), Yazhou District (崖州区), is located in the Meishan Anti-Japanese Base Area (梅山抗日根据地). Sun Zhaoan (孙照安), Secretary of the Village Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee, introduced that Mesi Village (梅西村) has 150 mu of dragon fruit, nearly 4,000 mu of mangoes, and nearly 620 mu of cantaloupe.
"With everyone's help, my family had the first mango orchard in the village. In order to repay everyone, my father would give fruit seedlings to the villagers in need, and unreservedly teach the technology of planting mangoes, driving more villagers to become rich." Villager Zhao Mingchuan (赵明川) said. Last year, the village's mango output value reached 15 million yuan.
The village appearance and civilized rural customs are the "gold lettered signboard" of Mesi Village (梅西村). Thanks to this, the number of tourists and investors is increasing. Mesi Village (梅西村) has introduced 4 Nanfan breeding companies to develop the breeding industry, and at the same time guided villagers to develop homestays, handicrafts, and courtyard economy. Every family has built small western-style buildings, and the per capita annual income of villagers exceeds 22,000 yuan.
The Anti-Japanese Overseas Chinese Township Becomes an Aerospace Base
"I am Nanyang (南阳), the guerrilla captain San Die Liang (三爹良), mobilized the masses to protect their hometown, some took the seventy-nine single tube, some carried the sixty-eight single needle, worked together to resist, and beat the Japanese invaders to death." Chen Yulan (陈玉兰), 105 years old, gently hummed the anti-Japanese folk song from more than 80 years ago, her slightly turbid eyes flashing with light.
As an underground liaison officer in Nanyang Township (南阳乡), Wenchang (文昌) at that time, Chen Yulan (陈玉兰) worked in the night or in the water for a long time, with scars all over her body, and a scar of more than ten centimeters long still remains on her left leg.
"San Die Liang (三爹良)" in the song is named Li Liang (李良), who went to Nanyang (南洋) with his family to make a living in his childhood, and returned to his hometown with his father in his childhood. After the Japanese army invaded Hainan Island (海南岛), he and the Communist Party members in Nanyang Township (南阳乡) established an anti-Japanese guerrilla squadron and served as the captain.
"At that time, there were almost no weapons, and whatever there was was used. Loquat trees were used to make earthen cannons, and highly poisonous plants, arrow poison wood and poison fish vine juice, were collected to kill the enemy." Chen Fengchun (陈封椿), a local sage of Nanyang Village (南阳村), Wencheng Town (文城镇) and former Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Hainan University (海南大学), introduced.
Wenchang (文昌) is a famous anti-Japanese overseas Chinese township. During the War of Resistance, overseas Chinese established anti-Japanese organizations, donated money and materials, and many resolutely returned to their hometown to resist Japan. The Fu Ke Martyrs Memorial Park (符克烈士纪念园) in Changsa Town (昌洒镇), Wenchang City (文昌市) records the past events of the Qiongya Overseas Chinese Returning Home Service Group (琼崖华侨回乡服务团) with Fu Ke (符克) as the head.
"Starting in April 1939, the Returning Home Service Group (回乡服务团) formed by Qiong overseas Chinese from Vietnam, Singapore and other places, more than 240 people in 5 batches broke through the Japanese army's sea and land blockade lines and returned to their hometown." He Ruiwen (何瑞闻), member of the Standing Committee of the Wenchang Municipal Party Committee (文昌市委) and Minister of the Propaganda Department, introduced. After returning to Qiong (琼), they organized the masses, promoted the anti-Japanese war, and carried out battlefield rescue and refugee relief. The arrival of Qiong overseas Chinese greatly inspired the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the Qiongya (琼崖) military and civilians.
More than 80 years ago, Wenchang (文昌) made earthen guns and cannons for the anti-Japanese national salvation; today, the Long March rocket (长征火箭) carrying the Tianzhou spacecraft (天舟飞船) has been launched here one after another, and the anti-Japanese overseas Chinese township has become an aerospace base.
As of the end of February this year, more than 700 aerospace-related enterprises and institutions have settled in Wenchang International Aerospace City (文昌国际航天城), and 26 satellite industry cluster enterprises have signed contracts to settle in. In May, the Yaoguang Rocket Viewing Platform (瑶光火箭观礼平台) was put into operation, and there is a new way to "chase rockets."
The Hainan Free Trade Port (海南自贸港) island-wide customs closure operation will be officially launched in December. "Under the east wind of the construction of the Free Trade Port, Wenchang (文昌) has a new mission. This is the best comfort to the anti-Japanese martyrs on this hot land," said He Ruiwen (何瑞闻).
Coming out of the Fu Ke Martyrs Memorial Park (符克烈士纪念园), a pine tree stands straight at the entrance. Looking from afar, the towering trunk with new leaves sprouting is like the unyielding spine of the Qiongya (琼崖) anti-Japanese military and civilians in those years.

Early in the morning, the lights in the Department of Urology at the People's Hospital of Nagqu City (那曲市), Tibet Autonomous Region (西藏自治区) were already on. Wang Yanlong (王艳龙), the director of the department, rubbed his hands, warmed the stethoscope in his palms, and reached out to the patient.
As a member of the seventh batch of "group-style" medical aid cadres from Liaoning Province (辽宁省), Wang Yanlong (王艳龙) chose to stay in Tibet (西藏) to "continue working." "I grew up listening to the story of Kong Fansen (孔繁森) and was deeply inspired by the spirit of Old Tibet. The department was newly established, and considering the need for the construction of a medical team echelon and the effective implementation of technology, I cannot leave yet," said Wang Yanlong (王艳龙).
In Tibet (西藏), behind the tremendous changes of "a few decades spanning thousands of years," there is always a surging spiritual force – the spirit of Old Tibet, which is "**特别能吃苦、特别能战斗、特别能忍耐、特别能团结、特别能奉献**" (tèbié néng chīkǔ, tèbié néng zhàndòu, tèbié néng rěnnài, tèbié néng tuánjié, tèbié néng fèngxiàn - "especially able to endure hardship, especially able to fight, especially able to persevere, especially able to unite, especially able to dedicate," describes the spirit of enduring hardship, fighting bravely, persevering, uniting, and dedicating oneself to the development of Tibet).
This spirit inspires batches of builders from all over the country to come to the snowy plateau and overcome difficulties in the high-altitude and oxygen-deficient areas: from opening up the heavenly road on the snowy plateau to cultivating local medical talents, from solving development problems in agricultural and pastoral areas to weaving a dense safety net for people's livelihoods, one "impossible" thing has become "amazing."
In early autumn, the qingke barley in Shigatse (日喀则) is fragrant.
The local people's dining tables were once occupied by the "old three" of radishes, potatoes, and cabbage for a long time. In order to allow the Tibetan people to eat fresh melons, fruits, and vegetables, in 1995, the first batch of aid cadres from Shandong (山东) introduced vegetable seeds. More than 3,000 kilometers of mountains and seas are connected, and 657 aid cadres from Shandong (山东) have worked hard for 30 years.
"As of June this year, the 'three-point land' that was tested that year has become 1,962 greenhouses." Zhang Jimin (张际明), a Shandong (山东) aid technician, took his wife to settle in Bailang County (白朗县), Shigatse City (日喀则市), and has been working there for 25 years. "If you come, you have to make a difference and never let down the trust of the local people!"
Seventeen provinces and cities, 76 central and state government ministries and people's organizations, one central financial enterprise, and 27 central enterprises jointly participated in the work of aiding Tibet, and 11 batches of more than 14,000 cadres and talents of various types entered Tibet to work; a total of 64.3 billion yuan was invested to implement 8,204 aid projects in Tibet. Taking counterpart assistance to Tibet as a link, through activities such as pairing and recognizing relatives, 332 counties (districts), townships (towns) in Tibet established pairing assistance relationships with 284 counties (districts) in the aid provinces (cities).
One project after another has been transformed and implemented, and the lives of the people on the plateau are thriving. Tibet (西藏) and the aid provinces, cities, government organizations, and enterprises are as close as brothers and sisters, helping each other, and brothers and sisters of all ethnic groups are tightly united like pomegranate seeds –
In Lhasa City (拉萨市), aid cadres from Jiangsu (江苏) introduced excellent yak breeds, shortening the time to market by 3 years, driving the average annual income of farmers to increase by more than 20,000 yuan; in Qamdo City (昌都市), aid cadres from Fujian (福建) promoted the upgrading of the walnut oil industry, and 90 farmers and herdsmen achieved employment at their doorsteps; in Ngari Prefecture (阿里地区), hundreds of teachers from Shaanxi (陕西) went to remote counties to deliver education...
The spirit of Old Tibet cannot be lost, and will not be lost. Not long ago, the eleventh batch of 2,156 aid cadres and talents took over the baton again and devoted themselves to the hot construction of Tibet (西藏).
"One crop after another, one generation after another, we will continue to promote the transformation from 'blood transfusion' assistance of giving funds and building projects to 'blood-making' assistance such as industrial cultivation, technical support, and talent training, and promote the in-depth development of counterpart support work with practical work and achievements to benefit the local people," said Shen Min (沈敏), leader of the eleventh batch of aid cadres liaison group in Shanghai (上海), deputy secretary of the Shigatse Municipal Party Committee (日喀则市委), and executive deputy mayor.

Government service mobile applications (APPs), with their integrated and convenient online services, have always been an important tool for improving the efficiency of digital government construction and promoting "one-stop online services." The original intention of these "government services on the fingertips" is to facilitate the public, but in actual use, there are many problems such as serious duplication of construction and inconvenience for the public.
In recent years, especially since the release of the "Several Opinions on Preventing 'Formalism on the Fingertips'" in December 2023, the phenomenon of repeated construction, "empty shells," and "zombie" government service mobile applications has been somewhat alleviated, but there are still problems such as unscientific functional design, inadequate operation and promotion, and lack of active operation and maintenance.
The public has reported many problems with the single, incomplete, and unreasonable function settings of government APPs.
Mr. Liu, a reader from Chengdu (成都市), Sichuan (四川) Province, recently bought a house and needs to handle the transfer of property registration and the transfer of water, electricity, and gas.
"I heard from the cadres of the subdistrict that all government services in Sichuan (四川) can now be handled on the 'Tianfu Tongban' (天府通办) APP," said Mr. Liu. He opened the "Tianfu Tongban" (天府通办) APP and saw that there was a "Second-hand Housing Transfer Registration and Water, Electricity, and Gas Linked Transfer" section in the "One Thing" special zone. He immediately clicked on it, and the screen read: "Acceptance Conditions," "Handling Materials," "Handling Demonstration Process"... But after clicking "Apply Now," a line of text appeared on the screen: This service should be handled in the "One Thing, Special 'Shu' for You" column of the Sichuan (四川) Government Service Website, thank you!
There are more than a dozen items in the "One Thing" special zone. Mr. Liu tried other items. Except for "Driver Qualification Certificate Renewal" and "Operating Vehicle Transport Certificate Annual Review," items such as "Newborn Birth," "Citizen Marriage and Childbearing," and "Off-site Medical Record Filing" cannot be applied for online.
"If the government APP cannot handle related matters, and you have to log in to the webpage again, and there is not even a jump setting, then why set up this section? Why promote 'Tianfu Tongban' (天府通办) as the 'unified Sichuan (四川) government service' and the 'total portal for handling affairs on the palm'?" Mr. Liu was very puzzled.
The "National Informatization Development Report (2024)" released by the Cyberspace Administration of China (国家网信办) shows that from the perspective of operating and using government APPs, 46.2% and 41.1% of the interviewed netizens respectively reflected that there are problems such as "there are many government APPs, but the functions are single" and "the functions of government APPs are similar and repeated."
Unscientific function settings are another problem that the public has reported a lot.
Many government APP functions are repeated with commonly used mobile phone applications and web pages, and are not in line with the characteristics and habits of mobile phone users. "For example, many provincial and municipal government APPs have the function of paying water and electricity bills. But in fact, everyone is already used to handling these functions on platforms such as WeChat (微信) and Alipay (支付宝). It is easy to cause waste for government APPs to re-develop these functions," said Wu Jinjin (吴进进), associate professor at the School of Government Management of Shenzhen University (深圳大学).
Bi Yuan (毕远), a reader from Shangqiu (商丘) City, Henan (河南) Province, plans to apply for housing provident fund withdrawal. The staff of the subdistrict told him that he can now apply online with the "Henan Government" (河南政务) APP. Bi Yuan (毕远) opened the "Henan Government" (河南政务) APP and, following the guidance of the subdistrict staff, clicked on "Service Hall," but found that the screen jumped to the PC version page of the Henan (河南) Government Service Website.
"The PC version page is directly displayed on the mobile phone, the font size is small and the page is not fully displayed, and it is not convenient to find various buttons. Since the function is integrated into the government APP, why not do the mobile terminal conversion?" said Bi Yuan (毕远).
Some functions are set up, but they are not perfect and cannot meet the needs of the public, becoming another kind of "formalism." Zhang Jian (张简), a citizen of Chengdu (成都市), wanted to seek legal aid. He opened the "Tianfu Tongban" (天府通办) APP and looked for a long time, and only found the relevant topic of "Legal Aid Agency Inquiry." Clicking in only shows the name of the legal aid center in the area being inquired, the city it belongs to, the person in charge, the contact number, and the address.
Zhang Jian (张简) believes that if you want to query address information, you can get it with a search engine, and you can directly jump to the navigation or dial the phone interface, "Why do you have to log in to the government APP?"
In addition, in terms of aging-friendly transformation, some readers also reported that some government APPs are not perfect. "The aging-friendly version is just a larger font size. Can some improvements be made in the content to better meet the needs and habits of the elderly?"
Data sharing is difficult, publicity is not in place, and updates are not timely, which affects the public's user experience.
To facilitate the public in handling affairs, government APPs must not only be "built well," but also "used well." The reporter found that some local government APPs "rebuild but do not manage," and the investment in operation and maintenance is insufficient. In addition, prominent problems such as difficult data sharing, inadequate publicity, and untimely updates have discounted the people-friendly project.
Many government APPs are not promoted in place, and the public, especially the rural and elderly people, do not understand or know about them.
Recently, Wang Haixia (王海霞), secretary of the Party branch of a village in Pengshui Miao Autonomous County (彭水苗族土家族自治县), Chongqing (重庆), is busy introducing the qualification certification function of the "Chongqing Human Resources and Social Security" (重庆人社) APP to the villagers. She introduced that according to relevant regulations, people who receive basic old-age insurance benefits for urban and rural residents on a monthly basis must undergo qualification certification at least once a year. "In the past, the elderly in the village had to walk more than ten miles of rugged mountain roads to the township government for certification." Unexpectedly, with the "Chongqing Human Resources and Social Security" (重庆人社) APP mobile terminal certification, many elderly people in the village still moved their steps and spent a whole day going to the township to do qualification certification.
Wang Haixia (王海霞) went to the village and found that the elderly and even the children of the elderly did not know that they could be certified on the mobile terminal, or did not know which APP to use for certification, "no one has ever promoted it." This led to the elderly in the village either going to the far away township government or simply giving up social security certification.
Yang Shangdong (杨尚东), associate professor at the School of Administrative Law of Southwest University of Political Science & Law (西南政法大学), said that now some government APPs are only promoted and guided for download by relevant staff when the public consults or handles affairs, and the promotion efforts are limited. "Sometimes it is just posted on the street publicity column, and it doesn't matter if anyone sees it or not," said a community worker in Beijing (北京).
Ms. Liu, a reader from Guiyang (贵阳) City, Guizhou (贵州) Province, also reflected, "In the past, the local fire rescue department had a 'Qian Xiaoxiao' (黔小消) APP. We heard that there is this fire safety supervision platform, but there is no such APP in the mobile application market, which is very inconvenient."
Data cannot be shared is also one of the problems that government APPs are not convenient for the people. "Vertical data exchange is not smooth, which is a major problem faced by many local government APPs in the past. Sometimes lower-level government departments can only 'report' data, but cannot effectively receive the data collected by higher-level departments through government applications, and can only require the public to re-upload," said Yang Shangdong (杨尚东). Horizontal data barriers are another problem, "For example, some local comprehensive government service platforms need to jump to the public security APP to handle matters of public security and other departments."
Although the phenomenon of repeated construction of government APPs has been somewhat alleviated after a period of rectification, some problems still exist.
"What is the difference between this 'Yu Tongxing' (渝通行) and 'Yu Changxing' (渝畅行)? Are they both APPs for taking the subway?" Wang Shan (王珊), who was traveling to Chongqing (重庆), said to the reporter holding her mobile phone. She was recommended to download two ride APPs at different subway stations in Chongqing (重庆), and each one had to fill in registration information for a long time, "It not only wastes resources, but also adds trouble to everyone. Once I accidentally swiped another APP when I left the station, and waited for a long time before I left the station."
The problem of repeated construction of government APPs at different levels still exists. "In my mobile phone, there are now 'Yunshang Yongcheng' (云上永城) in the county, 'Shang Tongban' (商通办) in the city, 'Yu Shiban' (豫事办) in the province, and 'National Government Service Platform' (国家政务服务平台) in the country, etc. The staff asked me to download them when I was doing different things," Mr. Shi, a citizen of Yongcheng (永城) City, Henan (河南) Province, showed the reporter holding his mobile phone, "I see that many functions inside are the same, and the provincial APP can also handle the affairs of the city."
Relevant surveys by the Cyberspace Administration of China (国家网信办) show that 39.9% of the respondents reported that there is a problem of "multiple government APPs need to fill in the same data, and the workload of repeated filling is large." In addition, insufficient investment in operation and maintenance leads to many government APPs not updating information in a timely manner, which affects the efficiency of the public in handling affairs. According to the feedback from the public, the reporter found that the "Hot Topics" on the homepage of "Zizai Ban" (自在办) in Zigong (自贡) City, Sichuan (四川) Province, is still stuck in October 2024.
Promote the cleaning and integration, share government data, and run "people-oriented" throughout.
Faced with the dilemma of government APPs being "built but not excellent" and "used but not alive," what rectification measures should be taken?
On August 6, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央办公厅) and the General Office of the State Council (国务院办公厅) issued the "Several Provisions on Rectifying Formalism to Reduce the Burden on the Grassroots." The "Standardizing the Management of Government Mobile Internet Applications" section proposes measures such as cleaning up and integrating, strictly managing construction, and preventing functional alienation.
"In fact, the relevant requirements are not only an effective way to correct 'formalism on the fingertips' and achieve burden reduction at the grassroots level, but also an important method to solve the relevant problems of government APP convenience services," said Fu Zitang (付子堂), professor at Southwest University of Political Science & Law (西南政法大学). Doing a good job in integrating and migrating government APPs with homogeneity and repeated functions, and preventing the situation that the people "download 10 but don't know which one to use" is an important task to improve the convenience of government APPs.
Not long ago, the "Several Measures to Further Improve the Quality and Efficiency of Government Service Management" in Jiangsu (江苏) Province clarified that provincial government APPs must open up the right to use downward to prevent repeated construction below the provincial level. In response, various places in Jiangsu (江苏) have also taken measures. In August, relevant departments in Taizhou (泰州) City stated that they officially shut down government mini-programs for enterprises and the public such as "Chongjun Xingtai" (崇军兴泰) and "Tai Bianmin" (泰便民), integrated the core high-frequency functions of "Taixing Collaborative Office," and connected to the unified office platform "Taizheng Tong" (泰政通) in Taizhou (泰州) City.
Many departments choose to build their own government applications because data is not common and not shared. Promoting the sharing and circulation of data across departments and levels is also an important measure to solve the "fighting each other" of different government APPs.
Not long ago, the State Council (国务院) promulgated the "Regulations on the Sharing of Government Data," which for the first time stipulated the catalog management, sharing and use, and platform support of government data in the form of administrative regulations at the national level. It clearly states that "no one shall hinder or affect the sharing of government data by arbitrarily adding conditions," stipulates that government departments shall not repeatedly collect government data that can be obtained through sharing, and also requires higher-level departments to completely backflow data to lower-level departments.
"The urgent task is to grasp the implementation," said Yang Shangdong (杨尚东). It is necessary to improve the government data standard system, break through the current bottleneck of heterogeneous data integration in various systems, and improve the execution supervision mechanism to avoid institutional attenuation such as "thousands of threads above and one needle below."
"The rational use of technology can effectively improve governance efficiency and service levels, but grassroots cadres cannot fall into 'data superstition'," said Yu Shui (于水), professor at the School of Public Administration of Nanjing Agricultural University (南京农业大学). In reality, some cadres do ask the public to download and use unnecessary government applications out of the requirements of higher-level assessments or for personal convenience, and even require them to download the APP to handle online when the public arrives at the scene.
Yu Shui (于水) suggested that the concept of digital governance that is "people-oriented" rather than "technology-oriented" should be run through the entire process of online office, so as to effectively promote the humanization, standardization, and intelligence of e-government construction.
"We can explore a more scientific way to comprehensively examine the use of existing government applications and public feedback, so that the excellent digital and intelligent government achievements are left in everyone's mobile phones," suggested Zhao Bei (赵蓓), professor at the School of Management of Xiamen University (厦门大学).

On July 9th, the "Letters to the Editor" section of this newspaper published a letter from a reader in Nanchang County (南昌县), Jiangxi (江西), titled "Repairing the Landscape River Fence, But Filling the River with Construction Waste," reflecting that the fence of the community's landscape river was tilted, and the property management company filled the river with construction waste when repairing the fence.
After publication, the Nanchang County (南昌县) Party Committee and County Government organized the County Urban Management Bureau, Housing and Construction Bureau, Ecological Environment Protection Bureau, and street offices to conduct on-site investigations, and immediately urged the community property management company to repair the tilted and cracked fence and clean up the construction waste. On July 14th, the reporter saw that the landscape river water was clear and the fence was as good as new (see photo). According to staff, they first cleaned up construction waste such as gravel and bricks used as emergency slope protection and temporary mechanical construction surfaces, and replaced the pool water in the closed water system. To ensure the stability of the fence slope, the construction party drove 40 6-meter-long I-beams along the river slope, and at the same time, horizontally welded rebar and laid steel mesh to increase the overall stability. Property staff in the community said that they will next green the walkways near the fence to further improve the community's living environment.
Return to TopAt the beginning of last year, the Geda Dian (葛大店) Farmers Market in Hefei (合肥市), Anhui (安徽) Province, notified merchants to evacuate due to fire safety renovation work. It was originally thought that it would be completed in a few months. Unexpectedly, since all the stalls and counters were dismantled in April last year, there has been no sign of construction (see picture). More than a year has passed, and the site is still a ruin, and no one knows when construction will begin. During this period, all stalls had to be set up along the roads surrounding the farmers market, exposing vendors and citizens to the sun and rain, affecting traffic, and damaging the appearance of the city.
It is hoped that the relevant departments will explain the reasons for the failure to start construction and start the renovation project as soon as possible.

Return to TopI recently passed by a fitness square in Duanjialing Town (段甲岭镇), Sanhe City (三河市), Hebei (河北), and found that the fitness equipment, installed only three years ago, was either cracked or "missing arms and legs" (see photo). Furthermore, these fitness equipment pieces had no signs, and the manufacturers, factory addresses, and maintenance telephone numbers could not be found. The fitness equipment has been damaged for a long time without repair, which not only brings inconvenience to people's fitness activities, but also poses safety hazards.
Fitness squares enrich rural cultural and sports life and are a project that benefits the people. If the installed fitness equipment has quality problems and endangers the safety of the masses, it will turn a good thing into a bad thing. It is hoped that relevant departments will pay attention to this issue, strengthen supervision of the procurement and other aspects of fitness equipment, and repair and replace the damaged fitness equipment in a timely manner to make the daily exercise of the people safer.

"Buying health insurance is supposed to prevent illness, but I didn't expect to be prevented from getting insurance first." Ms. Li, a reader from Taiyuan (太原市), Shanxi (山西) Province, recently told reporters that she has been buying commercial health insurance for herself and her family since 2020. During a physical examination last year, she discovered a nodule of less than 4 millimeters in her lung. When she renewed her policy this year, she was told that she did not meet the enrollment conditions. Her 4-year-old child was also denied insurance because he had been hospitalized for pneumonia. Ms. Li switched to several companies, but was told that anyone with abnormalities in their physical examination or nodules could not be insured, and even if they placed an order, they would be denied claims in the future. Ms. Li said helplessly: "Insurance companies welcome completely healthy groups. Every year when renewing insurance, I have to redo the health declaration and constantly screen out unhealthy individuals."
Ms. Li's experience is not an isolated case. The reporter found that health insurance products generally have mismatched phenomena such as "insuring the healthy but not the substandard" and "insuring the short-term but not the long-term." Nodules and abnormal physical examinations have become important reasons for commercial health insurance companies to reject claims. According to data released by the National Financial Regulatory Administration (国家金融监管总局), China's commercial health insurance premium income in 2024 is close to 1 trillion yuan. Wang Guojun (王国军), a professor at the School of Insurance of the University of International Business and Economics (对外经济贸易大学), pointed out that as Chinese residents' health awareness continues to increase, the fact that commercial health insurance premium income has failed to exceed 1 trillion yuan for three consecutive years is precisely due to the mismatch between supply and demand.
Behind the mismatch of commercial health insurance products is the constraint of data disconnection. As the supply side, an unnamed middle-level manager of an insurance company told reporters that insurance companies have not connected the data of medical institutions and medical insurance, and cannot accurately calculate pricing and risk assessment. In order to avoid risks, they can only develop products around healthy people and non-elderly groups. "Medical insurance payment records and other data can help insurance companies optimize product design and effectively control risks. For patients, providing medical records and other medical institution data can improve the insurance company's claims efficiency. On a larger scale, if insurance companies know more medical data, not only can health insurance cover people with illnesses, but also technology can be used to achieve different costs for different people."
Wang Guojun (王国军) said that data disconnection has been an industry pain point for commercial insurance for many years, which seriously affects the role of commercial insurance in supplementing medical insurance and reducing patients' out-of-pocket pressure. In 2023, the total compensation expenditure of commercial health insurance only accounted for about 7% of residents' medical expenses, which is a fraction of the basic medical insurance expenditure of 2.4 trillion yuan.
Medical data is sensitive personal information, but it is not a restricted area. In recent years, the Futian District (福田区) Government Service and Data Management Bureau of Shenzhen (深圳) has joined hands with the Shenzhen Data Exchange (深圳数据交易所), the Futian Health Bureau (福田卫生健康局) and other units to explore the authorized operation of public data and the combination of authorized personal data. The underwriting and claims settlement costs of commercial insurance have been reduced by more than 50%, and outpatient claims have been shortened from 2 to 3 days to an average of 30 minutes, and inpatient claims have been shortened from 10 to 20 days to 1 day.
Connecting data helps to change the long-term "medical-centered" health system and form a new pattern of prevention first, combination of prevention and treatment, and equal emphasis on traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In recent years, Yinzhou District (鄞州区) in Ningbo (宁波), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, has explored the integration of medical treatment and prevention, and integrated the district's medical resource data. After medical institutions discover early patients through data screening and testing, they are included in standardized management, building an integrated subject management platform of "active prevention before illness, standardized treatment during illness, scientific management after illness, and continuous follow-up service." Staff of the local "Yinxiaoyi (鄞小医)" artificial intelligence-assisted system told reporters that in addition to daily management, they also provide personalized health prescriptions such as nutrition, exercise, and traditional Chinese medicine conditioning for patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, and are exploring the introduction of a third-party paid health management service model in addition to financial investment—which is precisely what commercial health insurance should do.
As early as 2019, the former China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (原银保监会) issued new regulations on health insurance management, requiring 20% of premiums to be used for customer health management, "but the policy implementation is not ideal, and very few companies actually spend 5%." Wang Guojun (王国军) believes that even if 20% is spent, it is not enough. The target value should be 80% to 90%, but this requires the formation of a closed loop in the big health industry system. "'Insurance + health management' can force residents to develop healthy lifestyles on the premise of fairness, justice and openness. All medical insurance that is not covered will be paid by health insurance, but the payment ratio should be linked to residents' health management, such as chronic disease patients who cooperate with daily health monitoring and medication, even if complications occur in the future, they will still be fully reimbursed; those who do not cooperate with health management and medication will have their payment ratio reduced by 30% to 50% if their condition deteriorates in the future. In this way, medical insurance spends less money, and the people suffer less from serious diseases and reduce pain," Wang Guojun (王国军) said.
Data disconnection not only "drags down" commercial insurance to assist medical insurance in cost control, but also causes the big health industry chain to be blocked. Li Daokui (李稻葵), Dean of the Institute for New Structural Economics at Peking University (清华大学中国经济思想与实践研究院), said in an interview that health is the biggest demand of Chinese people, especially the middle-income group. The big health industry has huge potential, and it is conservatively estimated that it should account for more than 10% of China's total GDP. At present, many potential demands have not been released. The focus of consumption is on treatment. Data should be connected, demand should be accurately targeted, demand should be guided, and demand should be released. Preventive consumption and health care consumption should be created to achieve a win-win situation of preventing major diseases, expanding domestic demand, and making medical insurance sustainable.
In view of the fact that the big health industry involves multiple departments such as medical treatment, medical insurance, elderly care, sports, culture and tourism, and data, experts suggest taking commercial health insurance to assist medical insurance cost control as a starting point, organizing cross-departmental collaboration to connect data, establishing a big health medical data platform, formulating data interconnection standards, building a unified national market for the big health industry, and releasing the market power of the entire chain before, during, and after diagnosis.
Hu Hongwei (胡宏伟), Senior Director of China Life Health Industry Investment Company (中国人寿健康产业投资公司), suggested that accessing the massive customer resources of insurance companies can solve the problem of customer acquisition, traffic and credibility for companies in the big health industry chain to get on the chain and platform, and at the same time meet the needs of middle and high-income groups for diversified medical treatment and health services.

Return to TopTianjin Port's (天津港) sea routes reach multiple Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) countries. The density of cargo flights from Zhengzhou (郑州), Henan (河南) to other SCO member states has increased to 32 flights per week. The Chongqing (重庆) scheduled China-Central Asia train service has achieved normalized operation. Transportation hubs play an important role in international economic and trade cooperation and are also a window for observing economic and trade exchanges. Cross-border logistics systems built by transportation hubs such as sea, land, and air have built interconnected economic and trade channels between China and other SCO countries.
Continuous strengthening of connectivity helps SCO economic and trade cooperation reach new heights. In the first seven months of this year, China's imports and exports to other SCO member states reached 2.11 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3%, a record high for the same period. The continuous rise in trade data confirms the vitality and resilience of the "SCO family" of win-win cooperation.

Tianjin Port (天津港)
Sea routes reach multiple SCO countries
By Jin Bo (靳博), reporter of this newspaper
The morning sun shines on the C section of the container terminal in the Beijiang Port Area (北疆港区) of Tianjin Port (天津港). Under the precise control of the intelligent dispatch system, automated quay cranes gently grab containers from cargo ships and "queue them up to disembark." Unmanned trucks then transport them to the container yard under the guidance of the Beidou Navigation System (北斗导航系统). Among these containers are 190 tons of sesame seeds from Pakistan. These imported sesame seeds will undergo cleaning, drying, and pressing processes, eventually becoming sesame oil on the tables of Chinese people.
"Pakistan has a large sesame yield and high oil content. What attracts us even more is that Pakistan, as one of the SCO countries, has also signed a free trade agreement with China. By using the certificate of origin to declare to customs, the import tariff rate for sesame seeds has been reduced from 10% to 0. In terms of tariffs alone, we have saved more than 1.7 million yuan this year," said Zong Aihui (宗爱辉), Deputy General Manager of Kerry Grain and Oil (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (嘉里粮油（天津）有限公司), the importer of the goods.
Thousands of miles away, a large cargo ship loaded with steel pipes, after more than a month of sailing, arrived at the Port of Karachi (卡拉奇港) in Pakistan from Tianjin Port (天津港). With the certificate of origin issued by Tianjin Customs (天津海关), this batch of steel pipes received a 4.5% tariff preference when clearing customs in Pakistan.
Tianjin Port (天津港) maintains shipping trade relations with more than 500 ports around the world and is also one of the most convenient sea outlets for some SCO countries located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent. Sea routes reach multiple SCO countries. Thanks to its unique geographical advantages, more and more goods from SCO countries are gathered and distributed in Tianjin Port (天津港): In the first seven months of this year, a total of 229,000 TEUs of import and export containers were completed with the three SCO member states of Russia, India, and Pakistan, covering agricultural products, minerals, automobiles and accessories, and mechanical and electrical equipment. Tianjin Port (天津港) is also the preferred export location for automobile companies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) region. According to customs statistics, in the first seven months of this year, Tianjin Port (天津口岸) exported 34,000 vehicles to SCO countries, a year-on-year increase of 36.9%.
"The number of container ships from SCO countries has increased significantly. There are 14 routes to Russia, India, and Pakistan alone, with an average of about 10 container ships visiting Tianjin Port (天津港) every week. We have opened sea routes with 7 SCO dialogue partner countries, many of which operate on a weekly basis," said Liu Xin (刘鑫), Senior Manager of Route Management at Tianjin Port Co., Ltd. (天津港股份有限公司).
"We are strengthening international logistics hub cooperation with SCO countries and striving to increase the number of foreign trade routes, ocean trunk lines, and sea-rail intermodal trains," said Chu Bin (褚斌), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Tianjin Port (Group) Co., Ltd. (天津港（集团）有限公司).
On August 25, a China-Central Asia train loaded with 55 containers departed from Tianjin Container Center Station (天津集装箱中心站) to Kostanay (库斯塔奈), Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦). Tianjin Port (天津港) has formed a "sea + railway" logistics network, extending transportation services to Central Asia, providing full logistics services from Tianjin Port (天津港) to major logistics nodes such as Tashkent (塔什干), Uzbekistan (乌兹别克斯坦) and Almaty (阿拉木图), Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦). While bringing maritime cargo to the Eurasian continent, Tianjin Port (天津港) is deeply developing the solicitation of return cargo from China-Central Asia trains, allowing specialty goods such as grain and mineral products to accelerate circulation on the railway corridor.
In the first seven months of this year, Tianjin's (天津) imports and exports to SCO countries reached 53.37 billion yuan, an increase of 5.2% compared with the same period last year, accounting for 11.3% of Tianjin's (天津) total imports and exports during the same period.
Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (郑州新郑国际机场), Henan (河南)
Increased flight density, more frequent cargo exchanges
By Zhu Peixian (朱佩娴), reporter of this newspaper
At 2:00 PM on August 27, at Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (郑州新郑国际机场) in Henan (河南), a cargo plane from Russia had just landed, and ground staff immediately became busy. With the orderly operation of the elevators, 26.5 tons of cargo were sent into the cargo hold. Two hours later, the cargo plane set off again and returned to Russia.
"From loofah sponges for washing dishes to household appliances, foreign consumers place orders through overseas e-commerce platforms. The ordered goods are gathered and packaged in Zhengzhou (郑州), and they can be received within a few days," Tian Yi (田毅), the relevant person in charge of Russian AirBridgeCargo Airlines (俄罗斯航星航空公司), which undertook the cargo transportation, told reporters.
At 8:00 PM that day, another cargo plane from Uzbekistan landed at Xinzheng International Airport (新郑国际机场). This cargo plane was also fully loaded with goods made in China for its return flight.
In Zhengzhou Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone (郑州新郑综合保税区), large trucks entered and exited in an orderly manner. Walking into the warehouse workshop, staff were skillfully inspecting, sorting, and warehousing products, and then distributing and packaging them. Cross-border e-commerce packages are gathered and distributed here, heading to all parts of the world.
"Our cargo exchanges with Russia, Uzbekistan, and other SCO member states are becoming more frequent," said Zhao Jing (赵静), Deputy Director of Zhengzhou Airport Customs (郑州机场海关). According to Zhengzhou Airport Customs (郑州机场海关) supervision data, the number of cargo routes from Zhengzhou (郑州) to other SCO member states has increased to 5, and the flight density has increased to 32 flights per week.
New routes are constantly being opened, the route network continues to be densely woven, efficiency is higher, and services are better. Zhengzhou Airport Port (郑州航空港口岸) is expanding its quantity and improving its quality, building a bridge for economic and trade cooperation. As of the end of July this year, Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone (郑州航空港区) cross-border e-commerce had completed approximately 150 million import and export declarations, a year-on-year increase of 81.03%, of which the number of cross-border e-commerce export business orders exceeded 120 million, a year-on-year increase of 128.6%.
The efficient flow of people, logistics, and capital has led to a significant increase in trade and investment exchanges. Zhengzhou Liangang Industrial Co., Ltd. (郑州市联钢实业有限公司) exports building material accessories to Central Asia and has also invested in the construction of a Central Asia Commodity Exhibition and Sales Center in Tashkent (塔什干), Uzbekistan (乌兹别克斯坦). In early August, a delegation of 15 Zhengzhou (郑州) private enterprises went to Moscow (莫斯科), Russia (俄罗斯) for economic and trade exchanges and achieved many results. On August 14, the China (Zhengzhou) - Russia (Moscow) Economic and Trade Cooperation Exchange Conference was held in Zhengzhou (郑州), with representatives from 96 local private enterprises in Zhengzhou (郑州) participating.
This is inseparable from the support of a series of customs clearance facilitation policies. This year, Zhengzhou (郑州) was selected as a pilot city for the special action on trade facilitation, and relevant departments have launched special support for the export of different types of products. For the export of new energy products, Zhengzhou Customs (郑州海关) promotes visa facilitation, realizing "second review and second signature, online issuance" of certificates of origin. The Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone (郑州航空港区) Government Affairs Service Center has specially opened a foreign trade "one category" window, integrating 14 high-frequency items into a foreign trade "one category," greatly improving efficiency.
Starting from Zhengzhou (郑州), there are many ways for "Made in China" to reach other SCO member states - from direct rail, air, and land transportation to a variety of combinations such as "air-rail-land-sea" intermodal transportation. According to Zhengzhou Customs (郑州海关) statistics, in the first half of this year, Henan Province's (河南省) imports and exports to other SCO member states amounted to 45.62 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 59.7%.
Chongqing Tuanjie Village Central Station (重庆团结村中心站)
China-Central Asia train, fixed frequency and normalized operation
By Wang Xinyue (王欣悦), reporter of this newspaper
On August 24, Chongqing Tuanjie Village Central Station (重庆团结村中心站) was a busy scene, with a China-Central Asia train full of "Chongqing-made" chemical products and auto parts about to depart.
Inside the containers, goods such as polyester chips produced by local Chongqing (重庆) enterprises were neatly stacked. They will exit through the Horgos Port (霍尔果斯口岸), pass through Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦), and are expected to arrive in Sergeli (谢尔盖利) and Chukursay (丘库尔赛), Uzbekistan (乌兹别克斯坦) in about 10 days.
The scheduled China-Central Asia train that departed this time is a key layout for Chongqing (重庆) to strengthen interconnection with SCO countries. In April this year, Chongqing (重庆) issued the first scheduled China-Central Asia train and achieved normalized operation with a fixed frequency of 2 trains per month.
"In the past, Chongqing's (重庆) products exported to Central Asia mostly relied on the combined transport mode of road to rail. Affected by road conditions and customs clearance, the entire journey took about 15 days. Now, with the normalized operation of the scheduled China-Central Asia train, the time is greatly reduced, and the company's delivery cycle is more controllable," said Xu Meiqiong (徐美琼), Senior Engineer of the Freight Department of China Railway Chengdu Bureau (国铁成都局).
"The main goods transported to Central Asia are polyester chips, communication equipment, etc.; the main goods transported back are barley, wheat, corn, etc.," said Zhang Ruiyu (张睿宇), Sales Manager of the Marketing Center of Yuxinou (Chongqing) Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. (渝新欧（重庆）供应链管理有限公司).
With its stable and efficient channel advantages, the China-Europe (Central Asia) train is becoming one of the important logistics links connecting China and other SCO member states, which has strongly promoted regional economic and trade cooperation and interconnection.
"Previously, due to the limited China-Central Asia train operation plan and the long transportation cycle, it often took about 2 months from receiving a customer order to final delivery," said Lin Zheng (林政), Logistics Manager of Chongqing Wankai New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (重庆万凯新材料科技有限公司). "After the train achieved normalized operation, the transportation time is short and the cycle is guaranteed. Our response speed to Central Asian orders has been significantly improved, and we have become the customer's core main supplier."
At present, Wankai New Materials (万凯新材料) has gradually established a complete warehousing and distribution network in the Central Asian region, including 1 bonded warehouse and 2 storage warehouses, and has built an efficient regional distribution system.
As economic and trade relations become closer and closer, transportation hubs are also constantly being upgraded.
Recently, the Xinglongchang marshalling station (兴隆场编组站) expansion and renovation project was successfully completed and put into operation, adding 9 new lines, increasing the average daily vehicle handling capacity by 9%, and increasing the number of decoupling trains by 5%. The China-Europe trains, China-Central Asia trains, and other international trains departing from Tuanjie Village Central Station (团结村中心站) are all organized by this marshalling station. "The number of trains is getting denser and denser, and our duty tasks are tightly scheduled, but the work is smoother," said driver Li Feng (李峰). After the Xinglongchang marshalling station (兴隆场编组站) completed the expansion and renovation, the dispatch coordination is more efficient, and the phenomenon of the train head waiting for allocation and the "train squatting" has been reduced.
After the normalized operation of the China-Central Asia train, the logistics timeliness from Chongqing (重庆) to Central Asia has increased by more than 20%, the single-box cost has decreased by 15%, and the train punctuality rate has reached 98%. Channels drive logistics, logistics drive economy and trade, and economy and trade drive industry. In June this year, the 2025 Chongqing (重庆) and SCO countries local economic and trade cooperation negotiation meeting was held in Chongqing (重庆), and nearly 500 million yuan of procurement cooperation intentions were reached on the spot.
According to Chongqing Customs (重庆海关) statistics, in the first seven months of this year, Chongqing's (重庆) imports and exports to other SCO member states were 34.55 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.7%; exports of mechanical and electrical products to other SCO member states were 29 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.5%, of which notebook computers and motorcycles were exported 8.48 billion yuan and 1.61 billion yuan respectively, a year-on-year increase of 19.3% and 78.9% respectively.

Return to TopThe Service Industry Survey Center of the National Bureau of Statistics (国家统计局服务业调查中心) and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (中国物流与采购联合会) released data on August 31st, showing that in August, the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), the Non-Manufacturing Business Activity Index, and the Comprehensive PMI Output Index were 49.4%, 50.3%, and 50.5% respectively, an increase of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 percentage points compared to the previous month. All three major indexes have rebounded, and the overall prosperity level of China's economy continues to maintain expansion.
The foundation for improvement in the manufacturing industry continues to consolidate, and the level of prosperity has improved -
In August, both production and demand indexes rebounded. The production index was 50.8%, an increase of 0.3 percentage points compared to the previous month, and has been above the critical point for 4 consecutive months, indicating that manufacturing production is accelerating; the new orders index was 49.5%, an increase of 0.1 percentage points compared to the previous month.
"From an industry perspective, the production index and new orders index of industries such as pharmaceuticals, computer communication electronic equipment are significantly higher than the overall manufacturing industry, and production and demand are released faster; the two indexes of industries such as textile and apparel, wood processing and furniture, chemical raw materials and chemical products are lower than the critical point, and production and demand are still insufficient. Driven by the rebound in manufacturing production, corporate procurement activities have accelerated recently, and the purchase volume index has risen to 50.4%," said Zhao Qinghe (赵庆河), a senior statistician at the Service Industry Survey Center of the National Bureau of Statistics (国家统计局服务业调查中心).
Price indexes have also rebounded continuously. Data shows that the main raw material purchase price index and the ex-factory price index were 53.3% and 49.1% respectively, an increase of 1.8 and 0.8 percentage points compared to the previous month, rebounding for 3 consecutive months, and the overall level of manufacturing market prices continues to improve.
Xu Guangjian (许光建), Vice President of the China Price Association (中国价格协会), said that the market price index is rising in tandem, on the one hand, driven by increased raw material procurement and stabilization of market demand, and on the other hand, it also reflects the effect of整治“内卷式”竞争 policy. As relevant policies continue to optimize market competition order, it will help alleviate supply and demand contradictions and support the benign operation of prices.
In August, the PMI of high-tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing were 51.9% and 50.5% respectively, an increase of 1.3 and 0.2 percentage points compared to the previous month, and the supporting and leading role continues to strengthen.
"From the perspective of market expectations, the production and operation activity expectation index was 53.7%, an increase of 1.1 percentage points compared to the previous month, rebounding for two consecutive months, indicating that most manufacturing companies have somewhat increased confidence in the future market. The production and operation activity expectation indexes of industries such as general equipment, railway, ship, aerospace equipment are all located in a higher prosperity range above 58.0%, and companies are more optimistic about the industry's development prospects," said Zhao Qinghe (赵庆河).
The non-manufacturing industry continues to maintain expansion, with supply and demand improving and prices stabilizing -
In August, the non-manufacturing business activity index was 50.3%; the new orders index was 46.6%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points compared to the previous month. Driven by the stabilization and improvement of supply and demand, upstream and downstream prices have also remained stable, the input price index was the same as the previous month, and the sales price index increased by 0.7 percentage points to 48.6% compared to the previous month.
The prosperity level of the service industry has rebounded significantly. The service industry business activity index was 50.5%, an increase of 0.5 percentage points compared to the previous month, rising to a high point for the year.
"From an industry perspective, the business activity indexes of industries such as capital market services, railway transportation, air transportation, telecommunications, radio, television, and satellite transmission services are all located in a high prosperity range above 60.0%, and the total business volume is growing rapidly, among which the capital market services business activity index has been higher than 70.0% for two consecutive months," said Zhao Qinghe (赵庆河).
The construction industry business activity index has declined somewhat. Affected by unfavorable factors such as recent high temperature and rainy weather, construction production and construction have slowed down, and the business activity index was 49.1%, a decrease of 1.5 percentage points compared to the previous month. From the perspective of market expectations, the business activity expectation index was 51.7%, slightly higher than 0.1 percentage points compared to the previous month.
Experts pointed out that, overall, non-manufacturing business activities have maintained expansion, and upstream and downstream price trends are relatively stable. With the continuous efforts and effectiveness of a series of policies, the potential of domestic demand is expected to be further released, driving the continuous improvement of related industries.
"In August, the comprehensive PMI output index continued to be located in the expansion range, and the manufacturing production index and non-manufacturing business activity index that constitute the comprehensive PMI output index were 50.8% and 50.3% respectively, indicating that the overall expansion of corporate production and operation activities in China has accelerated somewhat," said Zhao Qinghe (赵庆河).

Return to TopAccording to the Ministry of Commerce (商务部), from January to July this year, China's imports from the least developed African countries reached 39.66 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 10.2%.
"Trade prosperity" promotes closer exchanges between the two sides. China actively supports the least developed African countries in making good use of the 100% tariff-free treatment for products, signing framework agreements on jointly developing economic partnerships, and building platforms for Sino-African business cooperation at major exhibitions such as the China International Import Expo (中国国际进口博览会) and the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo (中非经贸博览会) to promote more African specialty products to enter the Chinese market. A large number of distinctive and high-quality products, such as Kenyan avocados, Ethiopian Arabica coffee beans, and Cameroonian cocoa beans, have entered the Chinese market through the "zero tariff" policy, enriching the choices of Chinese consumers and driving the development of related industries in Africa.
"Industrial chain cooperation" drives the improvement of quality and efficiency of investment in Africa. Chinese enterprises rely on overseas economic and trade cooperation zones to build a growth circle of Sino-African industrial cooperation, form industrial clusters, and deepen Sino-African investment cooperation in agricultural product processing, home appliances, logistics, new energy and other fields. Chinese-funded enterprises have invested in the construction of alumina plants and steel plants in Egypt (埃及), Guinea (几内亚), Zimbabwe (津巴布韦) and other countries, helping Africa improve its level of industrialization, increase the added value of resource products, and better integrate into the global production and supply chain. Recently, the International Monetary Fund (国际货币基金组织) released a report entitled "China-Africa Relations: Building Deeper and Broader Connections," which pointed out that under the leadership of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (中非合作论坛), Sino-African cooperation has become a key driver of current African economic growth, Sino-African trade contributes 1-2 percentage points of growth to the African economy each year, and Chinese investment has increased the local processing rate in Africa from 15% to 45%.
Return to TopThis newspaper's Beijing (北京) dispatch on August 31st (Reporter Ouyang Jie (欧阳洁)): Data recently released by the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing shows that from January to July this year, the total value of social logistics nationwide was 201.9 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.2%.
The growth trend of industrial logistics is stable, and the growth area continues to expand. From January to July, the total value of industrial goods logistics increased by 5.7% year-on-year. Among them, the total value of manufacturing logistics was 0.5 percentage points higher than the total value of all industrial goods logistics in the same period. The logistics demand of 35 industries achieved year-on-year growth, with the growth area exceeding 85%.
The structural improvement of import logistics demand has been enhanced by the supporting role of high-tech products. From January to July, the import volume of products such as machine tools increased significantly, with the growth rate remaining above 18%. In July, the logistics volume of high-tech products such as integrated circuits increased by more than 10% year-on-year.
The logistics demand of units and residents has grown steadily. From January to July, the total value of logistics for units and residents' goods increased by 6.2% year-on-year, and the online retail sales of physical goods increased by 6.3%. Instant retail, live streaming e-commerce, and other new types of consumption have helped improve related physical retail sales simultaneously.
The data shows that the business volume index in July was 50.5%, continuing to maintain an expansionary trend. International logistics has become a new growth point, with the volume of cargo and mail transported on international routes increasing by 21.5% year-on-year. The consumption potential of counties and townships continues to be stimulated. In July, the rural e-commerce logistics business volume index increased by 1.1 points compared with the previous month.

In today's world, the market is the scarcest resource. Whoever possesses a highly efficient and standardized, fair, competitive, and fully open market holds the initiative in development.
Every second, over 1.43 million GB of data are transmitted in the cloud, and nearly 6,000 express packages enter the delivery channels; every day, approximately 24,000 new enterprises are established, and about 120 billion yuan worth of goods flow between China and the world. This ultra-large-scale market with immense growth potential has become a significant advantage for China's development and a solid foundation for responding to changes.
To fully leverage China's ultra-large-scale market advantages, a crucial aspect is to deeply advance the construction of a unified national market and build a high-standard market system that is unified and open, competitively ordered, institutionally complete, and well-governed.
On July 1st, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized while chairing the sixth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission (中央财经委员会): "Building a unified national market is a necessity for constructing a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development. We must earnestly implement the Party Central Committee's (党中央) arrangements, strengthen coordination and cooperation, and form a joint force for advancement."
The meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee (中共中央政治局) held on July 30th pointed out: "Deeply advance the construction of a unified national market and promote the continuous optimization of market competition order."
What does implementing the basic requirements of "five unifications and one opening" mean for various regions? How do local government departments view and act to break the "small cycles," smooth the "large cycles," and comprehensively promote the transformation of China's market from large to strong?
It is worthwhile to grasp it from three dimensions.
(I)
"Unification" means "a coordinated game." To deeply advance the construction of a unified national market, the first thing is to enhance the overall awareness.
Planning for a region from the overall perspective and serving the overall situation with a region is the way of governance. "Leading cadres must have a clear understanding of the most important national matters when thinking about problems and making decisions, do more large-scale calculations and consider the big picture, and do less small-scale calculations and focus on narrow interests." General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) requirements contain the underlying logic of building a unified market.
The key to accelerating the construction of a new development pattern lies in the smooth flow of the economic cycle. To smooth the domestic grand cycle, it is necessary to build a unified national market and promote the smooth flow of commodity and factor resources on a larger scale.
"Joining hands to work together towards the goals of top-level design" requires breaking down local protectionism and market segmentation, and clearing the key bottlenecks restricting the economic cycle.
Abandoning the mindset of "one mu three points of land," the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) region is "瓣瓣同心" (bàn bàn tóng xīn - "petal to petal, heart to heart," working together closely), with the relocation of non-capital functions and the rise of world-class industrial clusters such as biomedicine, "everyone gets what they want."
Breaking through the interest barriers of "engaging in self-small cycles," Ganzhou (赣州), Jiangxi (江西) Province, has carried out cross-provincial remote off-site bidding cooperation with Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, Xiamen (厦门), Fujian (福建) Province, Shenzhen (深圳), Guangdong (广东) Province, and other places to ensure that bidding companies "rely on strength rather than relationships."
Identifying the unique advantages of "having what others do not have," Tongnan District (潼南区) in Chongqing (重庆) cultivates the automotive aftermarket, dismantling more than 100,000 scrapped cars each year, and developing a distinctive industrial cluster through differentiated development.
Making fewer "small calculations," opening up "reserved land," and avoiding homogenization can effectively prevent low-level repetitive construction and serve and integrate into the new development pattern.
It must be seen that behind local protectionism, there is pressure from performance appraisals, anxiety about local finances, the instinct for resource competition, and the impulse to return to extensive development. This requires establishing and practicing a correct view of performance.
Hubei (湖北) incorporates the optimization of the business environment into the performance evaluation of party and government leading bodies at all levels, and Shandong (山东) incorporates "clearing market barriers to zero" into the evaluation of cities... Skillfully using the "baton," clarifying the "traffic lights," and focusing on the "gold content" of high-quality development can guide cadres at all levels to shoulder heavy responsibilities in serving the overall situation.
Establish an overall awareness and break the confines of a region. Firmly grasping its own strategic positioning in the overall situation of national development and deeply advancing the construction of a unified national market is the basic support for consolidating and enhancing the positive economic trend, and it is also the political responsibility for realizing the strategic intentions of the Party Central Committee (党中央).
(II)
The market economy is essentially a rule-of-law economy. The higher the degree of the rule of law, the clearer the market rules, and the more stable the expectations of business entities. To deeply advance the construction of a unified national market, enhancing the awareness of the rule of law is an inherent requirement.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The rule of law is the best business environment." The requirements of "unifying the standards of government behavior" and "unifying market supervision and law enforcement" provide a legal prescription for clarifying the boundaries between the government and the market and eradicating persistent problems.
The rule of law erects a "boundary line," and the "visible hand" must neither be "absent" nor "overstep."
Seeking "policy depressions" may gain temporary benefits in attracting investment, but it will distort the allocation of factor resources, create "involutionary competition," and affect the healthy development of industries; under the guise of "recovering stolen goods and compensating for losses," engaging in "distant-sea fishing" style of illegal law enforcement infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of entrepreneurs, pollutes the business environment, and severely damages the government's credibility.
To correct these "overstepping" behaviors, it is necessary to consolidate the legal foundation of the unified national market. From the promulgation of the Fair Competition Review Regulations to the issuance of the "Guidelines for the Construction of a Unified National Market (Trial)" to the issuance of the "Market Access Negative List (2025 Edition)," clarifying the rights and obligations of various business entities within the framework of the rule of law is not only a concrete manifestation of respecting the laws of the market economy but also an inevitable requirement for enhancing economic governance capabilities.
The rule of law supports the "fair scale," and the "visible hand" must both "dare to act" and "be good at acting."
Fair competition is the core of the market economy. As a "referee," the government must formulate rules and refine supervision, so as to create a fair competitive environment for "athletes."
Shanghai (上海) improves the whole-process supervision of bidding and government procurement, and reserves a share in government procurement projects specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises to bid; Jiangsu (江苏) has formulated more than 14,000 items of administrative penalty exemption and mitigation lists, which not only correct the same case with different penalties but also strictly prevent profit-seeking law enforcement... Accelerating the creation of a first-class market-oriented, rule-of-law, and internationalized business environment has brightened the legal background for deeply advancing the construction of a unified national market.
The rule of law is a stable and reliable force. Taking the law as a guide and the law as a guarantee, clarifying the direction, providing more services, and reducing interference, the "visible hand" and the "invisible hand" work together to form an economic order that is both "flexible" and "manageable," helping business entities to start businesses with confidence, operate with peace of mind, and develop with concentration.
(III)
"孤举者难起，众行者易趋" (gū jǔ zhě nán qǐ, zhòng xíng zhě yì qū - "It is difficult for one person to lift something alone, but easy for many to move it together," collective effort makes success easier). To make the "big market" a "strong market," it is necessary to cultivate a win-win awareness.
Some people believe that building a unified national market and breaking down "invisible walls" will sacrifice regional interests. Is this really the case?
Promoting facility interconnection and resource sharing, the country's first cross-provincial and cross-customs zone aviation front cargo station has been put into use, and Suzhou (苏州) enterprises can enjoy Shanghai's (上海) international route resources "at their doorstep," reducing ground logistics costs by nearly 30% at most.
Exploring cross-provincial water rights trading, in 2023, Ningxia (宁夏) purchased 15 million cubic meters of Yellow River (黄河) water rights from Sichuan (四川) for three years at a price of 18 million yuan, with the former "quenching the immediate thirst" with "distant water" and the latter "reducing waste" to "increase supply."
Starting normalized power trading across power grid operating areas, during the summer, the trading volume of power sent by the Southern Power Grid (南方电网) to the State Grid (国家电网) exceeded 2 billion kilowatt-hours, and the Minyue DC (闽粤直流) achieved full-time 2 million kilowatt full delivery for the first time during the summer, with broad space for staggered peak mutual assistance.
Vivid practices provide strong proof: building a unified national market is "making the cake bigger together." Eliminating "moats" and abandoning "small calculations," cooperation can achieve win-win results.
Some people also wonder whether building a unified national market is returning to a planned economy and engaging in "one-size-fits-all" and "marching in lockstep"?
On the contrary. The Party Central Committee (党中央) encourages all regions to develop their advantages and activate the vast spring water facing the world, fully open, mutually beneficial, and win-win through coordinated development, differentiated development, and linked development.
Look at the Yangtze River Delta (长三角) integration. The market access registration standards, service specifications, information sharing, and innovation pace have achieved "four unifications." As of 2023, the Yangtze River Delta regional collaborative innovation index has increased from 100 points in 2011 to 267.57 points, and the number of cities with an economic aggregate of more than 300 billion yuan has more than doubled compared with 2011.
Look at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (粤港澳大湾区). Strengthening rule convergence and mechanism alignment, promoting infrastructure connectivity, and promoting the mutual promotion and strengthening of industrial technology, 9 strategic industrial clusters with a value of over one trillion yuan enhance the value of the entire chain with a networked collaboration model of "R&D in Shenzhen (深圳) and Guangzhou (广州), manufacturing in Zhuhai (珠海), Zhongshan (中山), and Huizhou (惠州), and services in Hong Kong (香港) and Macao (澳门)."
A unified large market is a large market facing the world and fully open. Fully implementing the pre-establishment national treatment plus negative list management system for foreign investment, in the first half of this year, the number of newly established foreign-invested enterprises in China increased by 11.7% year-on-year, making it an "ideal, safe, and promising" destination for multinational investment.
Relying on China's ultra-large-scale market advantages and enhancing the linkage effect of the two markets and two resources, both domestic and international, we will surely build the Chinese market into a development highland for new quality productive forces and a powerful magnet for attracting global resources, injecting positive energy and certainty into global development.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region (西藏自治区). For sixty years, the struggle has weathered wind and rain, and for sixty years, the snowy plateau has undergone tremendous changes. When General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) listened to the work reports of the Tibet Autonomous Region (西藏自治区) Party Committee and the government, he emphasized, "Strive to build a united, prosperous, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful socialist modern new Tibet." Starting today, this edition will launch a series of commentaries to showcase the earth-shaking changes in the snowy plateau and gather the strength to write a new chapter in the beautiful Tibet.
——Editor
The bus drives from Gonggar Airport (贡嘎机场) to Lhasa (拉萨) city. Rows of spruce and Scots pine stand neatly along the road. Irrigation sprinklers draw beautiful rainbows at the entrances of tunnels. In the distance, instead of barren mountains and wild ridges, there are lush green peaks. It is said that it is difficult to see tall trees on the plateau, so why is Lhasa (拉萨) different?
The natural conditions are no different from other plateau areas. Tsering Bashi (次仁巴西), a tree planter, frankly said that when he first came to the north and south mountains of Lhasa (拉萨), there was not a single tree. Seeing the barren land, he felt that planting trees was an impossible task. The altitude here reaches 4,000 meters, the average slope is 60 degrees, and the average thickness of the soil layer is only 10 centimeters. Most areas have exposed rocks, and the coarse gravel content is as high as 60%-70%. It is often necessary to use an electric drill to break the stones before replacing the soil for planting.
So what is different?
Science and technology empower, "plant" this verdant green. As a pilot project for afforestation at high altitudes, Lhasa (拉萨) has deepened cooperation with many scientific research institutions. Where do the seedlings come from? Carefully cultivated in the laboratory, seedlings are cultivated and selected at different altitudes, which greatly improves the overall survival rate. Where does the soil come from? Imported soil is used for greening, replacing the original gravel soil on the mountain with high-quality soil. Where does the water come from? More than 10 huge water storage tanks have been built on the top of the South Mountain (南山) to divert the Lhasa River (拉萨河) water to high places to irrigate the mountains and forests. Seeking answers from science and seeking benefits from technology, when ecological restoration is supported by correct methods, the green plateau is full of vitality.
Adapt to local conditions and systematically protect. In Rejia Village (热角村), Rutog County (日土县), Ngari Prefecture (阿里地区), there grows a Pangong willow with a history of more than 200 years. The biggest characteristics of Pangong willow are its cold resistance, drought resistance, and high survival rate, which are suitable for greening and afforestation in high-altitude areas, and are now being planted more and more widely. Not only that, ecological corridors have been built in Xianzudao (仙足岛), Taiyangdao (太阳岛) and the urban area along the Lhasa River (拉萨河); in Wenbudangsang Township (文布当桑乡), Geji County (革吉县), nearly 3,600 mu of artificial grassland have been planted, which not only solves the problem of "winter grass shortage" for herdsmen, but also "reduces the burden" on the grassland; in Mapangyongcuo (玛旁雍错) Wetland, 90 management and protection personnel take turns patrolling, dissuading uncivilized behavior and protecting the beautiful wetland... From single tree planting and afforestation to conserving river basin ecology, and then to the integrated protection of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass, sand, and ice, plateau greening is a three-dimensional and systematic treatment process. This is an important experience in ecological restoration and an effective method for promoting work.
Rely on the masses and benefit the masses. Greening is not easy, and the masses are the main force. Mi Jiu (米久), who has been engaged in greening work for 8 years, recalled that at first there were no mules or drones, and people carried seedlings up the mountain on their backs, starting at 7 pm and making 5 trips back and forth per person. The hard work of the broad masses has been exchanged for the surge of greenery. Conversely, a good environment also benefits the masses. In Linzhou County (林周县), Lhasa (拉萨), great efforts have been made to protect black-necked cranes, launch sightseeing and shooting routes, and create new tourism opportunities; on the shore of Namtso Lake (纳木错湖), herdsmen lead yaks for tourists to ride and take pictures, and their monthly income reaches thousands of yuan during the peak tourist season; in Zogang County (左贡县), Qamdo (昌都), grape planting is combined with winery construction, and the integrated development of agriculture and tourism is booming... From practice, the better the ecological protection, the more tourists it attracts, the more it promotes income increase, and the stronger the motivation of the masses to protect the environment. This is a virtuous cycle and an internal driving force.
Plateau greening, although difficult, must be done. Tibet (西藏) is an important national ecological security barrier. "Protecting the ecological environment of Tibet (西藏) benefits the present and the future." Personally walking into the afforestation and greening points, understanding the planting process of each tree, and understanding the efforts of not fearing difficulties and determined to let greenery spread all over the mountains, can we understand that the ecological beauty of Tibet (西藏) today is due to the decades of efforts of the people of the autonomous region. When every interviewed greening worker sticks out his chest and proudly says that his family recognizes him and his neighbors praise him, the saying "People will not let down the green mountains, and the green mountains will not let down the people" immediately has a vivid footnote.
The car is driving on the national highway, and you can see Tibetan antelopes, yaks, and wild donkeys running freely or leisurely strolling by the roadside. Next to the national highway are grasslands and wetlands, followed by small rivers and lakes, and then the continuous green mountains, with layers of snow reflecting dazzling white light on top. In this scene, we can better appreciate General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) exhortation: "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and so are ice and snow."

The recently popular skill exchange has resonated with many young people. Cultivating new hobbies often involves expensive courses costing thousands of yuan; expanding one's social circle is difficult due to a lack of common ground. Skill exchange, however, acts like a key, simultaneously opening the doors to both learning and socializing. Spending the time it takes to drink a cup of milk tea to unlock new skills and meet like-minded friends is a low-cost, high-return model that aligns with the lifestyle philosophy of young people.
Contemporary youth do not lack the willingness to consume, but rather refuse to pay for high premiums. In skill exchange, the standard of value measurement becomes relatively pure. The proficiency of a guitar melody, the practicality of a certain editing skill, or even the level of patience in teaching can all be "exchanged." De-commercialized interaction allows learning to return to the interest itself, and allows social interaction to regain its sincere foundation.
The significance of skill exchange transcends "learning something" itself. Skill partners can become friends in life; it builds not only a learning platform, but also a bridge of emotional connection. In a fast-paced life, people use passion to break down barriers, use sharing to reconstruct social interaction, and find their own "spiritual food" in joyful interaction.
Some paid learning is often a one-way output; skill exchange, however, is a two-way rush. Both parties must figure out how to explain so that the other understands, and think about how to practice to gain the other's approval. Hidden in the interaction is a sense of being needed and a sense of accomplishment. This positive feedback can better nourish each other's hearts.
Skill exchange is a social network woven by young people with passion, and it is the wisdom of using ingenuity to brighten life. This trend hides the moving characteristics of contemporary youth: using creativity to revitalize resources, using sincerity to connect with each other, and rooting themselves in passion.
We look forward to more young people joining this "exchanging love with love" activity, allowing sincerity to illuminate life in the process of teaching and learning from each other (教学相长 (jiào xué xiāng zhǎng - "teaching and learning promote each other," mutual enhancement between teacher and student)).

[People] "The Most Beautiful Railway Workers"
[Event] Recently, the "Shining Names - The Most Beautiful Railway Workers Award Ceremony" was held. The Central Propaganda Department (中宣部) and China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (中国国家铁路集团有限公司) jointly awarded the title of the 7th "Most Beautiful Railway Workers" to 10 individuals. Among them, some safeguard safety at the highest altitude point of the world's high-speed rail, some use their feet to measure thousands of culverts, bridges, and tunnels, and some fill technological gaps with process innovation... Accompanying the thousands of miles of railway lines, they have made extraordinary achievements in ordinary positions.
[Commentary]
Every day, over ten million people travel to all parts of the country by rail; every day, over ten million tons of goods are transported to all directions by rail. In the vast land of China, in the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, the railway is a backbone force.
From "just go" travel to "instant" parcels, the "flowing China" is not deterred by mountains and seas, and behind it is inseparable from the strong support of the railway network and the careful guarantee of "railway workers." "The Most Beautiful Railway Workers" are a benchmark for an industry and a concrete manifestation of dedication.
"The most beautiful" comes from the original intention of serving the people.
At Shenzhen North Station (深圳北站), Li Yuan (李元), the captain of the "Welcoming Spring Flowers" service team, created the "three-step service method" to help 12,000 visually impaired passengers travel without worry; at Nanning East Station (南宁东站), police officer Gao Mingwei (高明伟) recovered more than 7,000 lost items for passengers, recovering more than 10 million yuan in property losses... Travel is one of the most basic living needs of the people, and doing a good job in service guarantee is a top priority. Treating the people's concerns as their own, railway service personnel think one step further and do one more step in the details, which creates a more secure travel choice and a more comfortable travel experience.
"The most beautiful" comes from the attitude of striving for excellence.
Communications worker Ding Qiaoren (丁巧仁) has devoted 30 years to studying railway heavy-haul communication technology, allowing 10,000-ton steel dragons to operate accurately; vehicle electrician Wang Chao (王超) has developed the "embroidery skill" of chip welding, and led the compilation of the electrical maintenance operation standards for China-Laos Railway (中老铁路) EMUs, helping Chinese standards go to the world... The small step taken by researchers and technicians on the basis of their predecessors is a big step in Chinese creation. Those striving figures who pursue excellence are precisely a vivid microcosm of an industry and even a country's vigorous upward development.
"The most beautiful" also comes from the commitment to dedication.
On the snowy plateau railway, bridge and tunnel worker Ma Wanli (马万里) treats equipment like a doctor, going up mountains, crossing bridges, and passing through tunnels, walking more than 36,000 kilometers along the railway line in 30 years; maintenance foreman Chen Yonghong (陈永红) is rooted in the cold and oxygen-deficient Qilian Mountains (祁连山), guarding the Lanzhou-Xinjiang High-Speed Railway (兰新高铁) for more than 10 years, and achieving a safety "zero accident" record with his team... The railway is a major infrastructure and people's livelihood project, and its coverage of remote and difficult areas reflects its inclusiveness and public nature. Difficulties are there, and someone always has to step forward and meet them head-on. Maintaining the original intention and fulfilling responsibilities steadfastly, it is precisely because of this selfless dedication that there is a happy road that flies across the natural barriers.
Whether it is serving the people, striving for excellence, or adhering to dedication, behind it all is a sincere love for the job. The development and progress of society requires a two-way effort between individuals and the country. From one industry to thousands of industries, our yearning for a better life is condensed in every bit of solid struggle. Based on one's own position, doing one's own thing and the things at hand, ordinary individuals can also integrate into the pulse of society and sing in harmony with the paean of the times.
In Chinese-style modernization, everyone is a participant, contributor, witness, and sharer.
In April of this year, the Central Propaganda Department (中宣部) and other 10 departments jointly issued the "Implementation Outline for Professional Ethics Construction in the New Era," which clearly stated "vigorously advocating the basic norms of professional ethics with dedication to duty, honesty and trustworthiness, impartiality in handling affairs, enthusiastic service, and dedication to society as the main content."
At present, major changes have taken place in the quality structure of China's labor force, and the "demographic dividend" is being upgraded to a "talent dividend," and the advantages of human resources are accelerating into advantages of talent resources. Giving play to the encouraging and driving role of role models and forming a good social atmosphere of striving to be action-takers and doers, more and more jumping notes will converge into a magnificent symphony of Chinese-style modernization.

In Shijiazhuang (石家庄), Hebei (河北), after a rain, sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining into the clear glass windows. Veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Liu Shiyue (刘世钺), sat at his desk, dressed in a clean, old military uniform, his chest covered with medals, welcoming the arrival of the reporter.
Enlisting at the age of 8 and joining the Party at 16, Liu Shiyue has maintained the integrity of a soldier and the self-discipline of a Party member for decades. After retiring from his position as Director of Ophthalmology at the Bethune International Peace Hospital (白求恩国际和平医院), he wrote three petitions, earnestly requesting to return to his post, and has been working ever since.
"I am forever a soldier of the Party, following the Party in pursuit of light." The voice of 95-year-old Liu Shiyue is not loud, but every word is clear.
Why did you join the army to resist Japan?
"I also want to be a soldier of the Eighth Route Army (八路军) and save people"
In 1930, Liu Shiyue was born in Yanliang Village (岩良村), Yushe County (榆社县), Shanxi Province (山西省). Liu Heyi (刘和一), Liu Shiyue's father, was a doctor who secretly treated the wounded and managed the Party's underground liaison station, secretly receiving the wounded and passing on intelligence.
As a child, Liu Shiyue often stood by the courtyard gate, watching his father's busy figure. Sometimes it was seriously wounded soldiers sent late at night, whom his father treated all night long; sometimes it was his father lowering his voice and talking to people in gray cloth military uniforms.
What he remembered most was a name his father mentioned: Bethune (白求恩).
In the autumn of 1938, Liu Heyi publicly called on young people in the village to join the army to resist Japan and told the story of Bethune. Eight-year-old Liu Shiyue felt a surge of heat in his heart as he listened. He suddenly grabbed his father's clothes and said loudly, "Dad, I also want to be a soldier of the Eighth Route Army (八路军) and save people!"
His father looked at him for a long time and slowly nodded. The next day, Liu Shiyue put on a smaller military uniform and became a young soldier in the 129th Division (129师) propaganda team. His father said to him, "You must be like Bethune and fight to the end for our country."
When he first joined the propaganda team, Liu Shiyue touched his military uniform, his heart full of longing for resisting Japan and saving the nation. During the march, he shouted anti-Japanese slogans and incorporated the story of Bethune into his propaganda words. From then on, the spirit of Bethune has been inspiring him.
The work of the propaganda team was far more difficult than imagined. Liu Shiyue, who was not even as tall as a rifle, traveled with the troops to various battlefields, posting slogans, arranging programs, and giving speeches. During the day, he recited the heroic deeds of his comrades and repeatedly practiced his speeches, striving for every word to be powerful; at night, he climbed ladders in the dark to post anti-Japanese slogans, the moonlight stretching his thin figure.
"At that time, the propaganda team even lacked props, but we overcame the difficulties, cleverly used every material at hand, and carefully planned the propaganda, striving to convey inspiring information under simple conditions," Liu Shiyue said.
Although the propaganda work was very hard, Liu Shiyue felt endless motivation whenever he saw the villagers' expectant eyes. "For the victory of the War of Resistance, I am willing to do everything." This belief has accompanied him through countless storms and become his unwavering commitment.
What is the most memorable thing?
"That fellow villager was stabbed several times and fell in a pool of blood, but he never revealed any trace of me until his death."
One day in 1942, Liu Shiyue and his comrades encountered a surprise attack by the Japanese army in Fuping (阜平). The 12-member guard squad occupied a favorable terrain and fought bravely, shouting, "Hold on for the Party! Protect the wounded and the propaganda team!" Amidst the sound of artillery fire, 12-year-old Liu Shiyue curled up in the trench and truly understood what sacrifice and faith were.
On another occasion, Liu Shiyue was surrounded by the Japanese army while performing in Zuoquan County (左权县). A fellow villager suddenly pushed him into a sheepfold and hid him under the belly of a sheep. Outside was the roar of the Japanese army rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and the cries of the villagers. He held his breath in the stench and darkness, not daring to close his eyes all night.
At dawn, Liu Shiyue crawled out of the sheepfold, "That fellow villager was stabbed several times and fell in a pool of blood, but he never revealed any trace of me until his death," Liu Shiyue said, choking with sobs.
Terrible news also came from Yanliang Village (岩良村): Liu Shiyue's mother, aunt, cousin, younger cousin, and other relatives, along with dozens of fellow villagers, were locked in a temple by the Japanese army and burned alive.
National and family hatreds were like sharp knives piercing his heart. Liu Shiyue quickly grew into a strong soldier, carrying the idea of "avenging his relatives and fighting for a way out for his compatriots," and followed the troops to fight in various places. He said that at that time he had only one belief—follow the Communist Party (共产党), fight for justice, and drive the invaders out of China!
After that, Liu Shiyue studied, worked, and fought more actively. In 1945, China finally ushered in the great victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Memories of blood and fire flooded his mind, and tears streamed from the corners of Liu Shiyue's eyes: "Many comrades sacrificed in those years, and I have a responsibility to do more for the Party and the people on their behalf."
Why not retire completely?
"I can only repay the Party and the people's cultivation by working hard."
After the victory of the War of Resistance, the troops urgently needed medical personnel, and the organization selected him to study at the North China Medical College (北方大学医学院). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Shiyue was assigned to work in the ophthalmology department of the Bethune International Peace Hospital (白求恩国际和平医院).
At that time, the hospital's ophthalmology department was **一穷二白** (yī qióng èr bái - "poor and blank," starting from scratch; having nothing). It was almost impossible to perform delicate surgery with only a flashlight, a magnifying glass, and a few basic instruments. But Liu Shiyue did not back down, "If the equipment is not enough, make up for it with skill."
Liu Shiyue used all his spare time to practice. When cutting vegetables, he found that radish skin was as thin as the cornea, so he brought the radish skin to the clinic and found the finest needle and thread to repeatedly practice suturing on the radish skin. At first, the radish skin was always pierced and the thread was crooked, but he was not impatient, adjusting the angle and strength again and again, often practicing until late at night.
"Eye surgery is like embroidering on wheat awns, you must be careful," Liu Shiyue said. With this tenacity, he developed stable and precise suturing techniques. During his more than 20 years as the director of the hospital's ophthalmology department, Liu Shiyue devoted himself to the construction of the discipline and unreservedly imparted his theoretical knowledge and clinical experience to his colleagues and students.
In 1994, Liu Shiyue officially retired, and his organizational relationship was transferred to the Shijiazhuang Second Retired Cadre Sanatorium of the Hebei Military Region (河北省军区石家庄第二离职干部休养所). "I am a military doctor, I will not retire completely, and I will continue to contribute my remaining energy!" Liu Shiyue wrote three petitions to return to his post, "The Party and the people raised me, and I can only repay the Party and the people's cultivation by working hard. Going to the expert clinic is fulfilling my personal obligations, and I do not seek any reward."
The hospital's Party committee advised him to enjoy his old age, but he said, "I am not living to rest."
In 2016, Liu Shiyue proposed that family members engaged in medical care return to Yanliang Village (岩良村) to carry out free clinics. His children and grandchildren responded one after another, and everyone rushed back to Yanliang Village (岩良村) from all over the country, using the village committee courtyard as a temporary clinic to provide free medical treatment and medicine to the villagers. He declined all the local products sent by the villagers: "If I take them, I will break the rules of my life."
Every New Year's Eve, when the family reunites, the children and grandchildren share their experiences of the past year, Liu Shiyue will ask the same question—"Have you kept your conscience this year? Have you lived up to the patients?" Whenever he hears an affirmative answer, Liu Shiyue is very pleased, "We must pass on this persistence and kindness."
Today, 95-year-old Liu Shiyue gets up at 6:30 every morning, watches the news, learns English, writes lesson plans, replies to patients' letters... His life is tight and fulfilling. "Working for the Party, never stop." His tone is firm.
During the conversation, Liu Shiyue's eyes were as clear as ever, as if he was still the young man standing beside his father, determined to save the country and the people.

In the workshop, robotic arms waved precisely, conveyor belts moved at a constant speed, and rolls of polymer cable material slid down the production line like silk. "The company's two industrial buildings were able to successfully complete acceptance and put into use ahead of schedule, thanks to the proactive and upfront service of various functional departments. The company's new output value is about 50 million yuan!" In Lin'an District (临安区), Hangzhou (杭州) City, Zhejiang Province (浙江省), Qian Liping (钱立平), the former manager of the engineering department of Zhejiang Wanma Co., Ltd. (浙江万马股份有限公司), stood in front of the control room glass window with a relaxed smile on his face.
It turned out that Wanma Co., Ltd. (万马股份有限公司) adopted a construction model of three factory buildings sharing one construction permit, which led to the inability of the two completed buildings to be put into production separately. In August last year, after learning of this situation, Lin'an District (临安区) immediately organized housing construction, water conservancy and hydropower, and other departments to form an efficient joint acceptance team. Enterprise service specialists provided full assistance, and it took only 3 months to help the company obtain relevant certificates of acceptance from the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau (住房和城乡建设局) and successfully put into production in November. "They not only came to the door for meetings, but also helped coordinate the process. This kind of service of 'running with the company' is really different," said Qian Liping (钱立平).
The pain points that make enterprises frown are the targets of the government's precise policies. Focusing on land, projects, funds, property rights and other issues, Hangzhou (杭州) has taken a series of "hardcore" measures to break down barriers, dredge blockages, and truly "transfuse blood" and "supply oxygen" to enterprises.
Hangzhou Dahe Jiangdong New Material Technology Co., Ltd. (杭州大和江东新材料科技有限公司) was once "stuck" by the problem of factory property rights change. In May last year, the Qiantang District (钱塘区) government departments quickly set up a "green channel," with three-level linkage at the provincial, municipal and district levels, and coordination among natural resources, housing construction and other departments to promote the replenishment of key materials and pass the factory acceptance.
"The property rights issue has been resolved, the assets have been revitalized, and I feel that the company is instantly lightly loaded and full of energy!" said Fang Min (方敏), director of the company's general office.
More comprehensive element guarantees, "accumulating potential and empowering" enterprises' innovation and development. In Linping District (临平区), Zhejiang Oulun Electric Co., Ltd. (浙江欧伦电气股份有限公司)'s industrial land project, covering nearly 70 mu, also experienced the high efficiency of government services. From the pre-examination of the plan before land acquisition to the joint acceptance before completion, the Linping District (临平区) government provided accurate docking throughout the process. "This efficiency and this temperature make people truly feel Hangzhou (杭州)'s care for enterprise innovation," Zheng Chengfu (郑成福), deputy general manager of Oulun Electric (欧伦电气), sincerely praised.
This year, Hangzhou (杭州) upgraded the "doing practical things for enterprises" project, integrated various service resources and forces in the city, broke down barriers such as departmental and district/county (city) divisions and regional restrictions, weaved a tight and solid "one network" of enterprise services in the city, and accelerated the creation of a first-class business environment with the best service and highest efficiency.
Funds are the lifeblood of enterprises. In Hangzhou (杭州), the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (市国资委) established three 100 billion yuan mother funds, with a cumulative investment of more than 4,000 projects; Xihu District (西湖区) held the "Xihu Chain Link" activity to open up the supply and demand barriers between the government, enterprises, funds, and scientific research; Gongshu District (拱墅区)'s "financial advisors" "built bridges and paved roads" for enterprises, attracting 21.7 billion yuan of financial "living water."
"The government is not a 'flood irrigation' style of assistance, but like a 'personal housekeeper.' Whenever enterprises encounter difficulties in their development, they can always hand over the key to solving the problem at the first time," said Tan Mohan (谭默晗), office director of Hangzhou Cobetter Filter Material Co., Ltd. (杭州科百特过滤器材有限公司).
Tan Mohan (谭默晗)'s feelings stem from the 800,000-square-meter semiconductor ultrapure water degassing membrane project launched in Xiaoshan District (萧山区) three years ago. "In the past, it would take 3 months to run the land acquisition and approval process for this type of approval," said Tan Mohan (谭默晗). The relevant government departments were anxious about what the company was anxious about. "All departments twisted into one rope, the project was pre-examined in advance, and the intermediate links were compressed and paralleled as much as possible, and it was hard to turn it into 'construction can start in the month of land acquisition.'"
Expand "one-stop" integrated services. Hangzhou (杭州) Public Security and other departments jointly issued the "Identification Standards for Outstanding Foreign Cross-border E-commerce Talents" to solve the problem that cross-border e-commerce companies lack the basis for employing foreign anchors; the Transportation Bureau iterated the "One Thing to Start a Transportation Enterprise" to provide enterprises with personalized and exclusive "one-stop" integrated services; the Finance Bureau focused on key links in government procurement administrative rulings and refined and solidified practices such as similar case co-ruling, simple case quick handling, and full-process mediation.
"We will continue to explore and innovate new ways to optimize the business environment, so that policy dividends benefit every enterprise," said a relevant person in charge of the Hangzhou (杭州) Municipal Government.
Return to TopThe 2025 Shandong (Weihai) Maritime Comprehensive Emergency Exercise for Commercial and Fishing Vessels was successfully held recently in the waters near Shidao Port (石岛港), Rongcheng City (荣成市), Shandong Province (山东省). Maritime, marine development, professional rescue, medical, and social rescue forces worked together to carry out emergency rescue operations, deploying a total of 15 ships, 1 professional rescue helicopter, 1 large maritime drone, emergency response equipment for marine oil spill prevention and control, automatic fire extinguishing devices for fishing boats, and other advanced equipment totaling more than 20 sets, as well as more than 190 personnel to participate in the emergency response.
This exercise tested the "provincial-city-county" three-level linkage and the "maritime + marine development + ecological environment + medical" multi-departmental collaborative full-chain emergency response model under the complex situation of "multiple risks occurring simultaneously."

In Xicheng District (西城区), Beijing (北京市), Feng Weiwei (冯伟伟), a courier at the SF Express Taoranting Station (顺丰速运陶然亭站点), had beads of sweat on his forehead after finishing a delivery.
"Working in this industry, the ones we owe the most are our children," Feng Weiwei (冯伟伟) said, wiping his sweat. "In the past, I really wanted to bring my child over during the summer vacation, but there was no one to look after them. Thanks to the neighborhood office for setting up the托管班 (tuō guǎn bān - after-school care program), which solved our problem and allowed my child to have a very meaningful summer vacation in Beijing (北京)." This year, the Xicheng District (西城区) Taoranting Subdistrict (陶然亭街道) Federation of Trade Unions organized a summer托管班 (tuō guǎn bān - after-school care program) for the children of employees, carrying out activities such as homework tutoring, museum visits, and intangible cultural heritage production, which were welcomed by students and parents.
Chen Danhong (陈丹红), Minister of the Social Work Department of the Xicheng District (西城区) Committee and Secretary of the "Two New" Working Committee of the District Committee, introduced that Xicheng District (西城区) has created 89 friendly scenarios covering dining, rest, medical treatment, etc., for new employment groups, built 24 all-time stations, and more than 1,500 "'Qi' Xin Xie Li Yi Pingfangmi Fuwuqu" (‘骑’心协力一平方米服务区 - "Rider's Heart United One Square Meter Service Area"), and is carrying out the construction of a "Friendly City" in depth.
"In response to the urgent needs and concerns of new employment groups, the subdistrict has specially established a 'proposal collection - platform negotiation - division of labor implementation - evaluation feedback' mechanism," said Jin Yanying (靳延英), Deputy Director of the Party-Masses Service Center of the Dashilan Subdistrict (大栅栏街道) in Xicheng District (西城区). At present, a total of 62 demands from new employment groups have been resolved.
"Ding Dong!" A message reported by Chen Huizhong (陈会忠), a Yunda Express (韵达快递) courier, popped up on the "Dangqun Ai 'Xin' Zhendi" (党群爱‘新’阵地 - Party-Masses Love 'New' Position) WeChat group, stating "Opposite No. 27, Peiying Hutong (培英胡同), electric vehicles are blocking fire-fighting facilities." "Discovering hidden dangers and running errands for residents are common occurrences for us, and we do it casually," said Chen Huizhong (陈会忠). Up to now, the "Xicheng Xiaoge" (西城小哥 - Xicheng Delivery Guys) from 10 industries including food delivery, express delivery, security, and intermediaries have cumulatively reported and eliminated more than 10,000 potential safety hazards.
Xicheng District (西城区) has established 8 new employment group party branches, taking express delivery sorting centers and food delivery stations as starting points, driving enterprise outlets to integrate into local party building work. "We will continue to strengthen the leadership of party building, optimize warm-hearted services, and actively guide 51,000 'Xicheng Xiaoge' (西城小哥 - Xicheng Delivery Guys) to become an important force in the governance of the super-large capital city," said Chen Danhong (陈丹红).

"The road to a strong military is under our feet, and hard work builds dreams. We can only go all out to run our own relay race well." On August 7, the first event of the "Most Beautiful Sword-Sharpening Youth" advanced model sharing and exchange was held in the auditorium of the Rocket Force headquarters. Among the stories shared on stage, the eloquent narration of a female captain deeply touched the officers and soldiers present.
She is Chen Dongsen (陈东森), the political instructor of the communications company of a certain Rocket Force brigade. From the brigade's "Top Ten Sword-Sharpening Soldiers" to the base's "Advanced Individual in Mass Military Training and Competition," from "Rocket Force Outstanding Political Instructor Model" to "National March 8th Red Banner Holder," behind a series of shining honors are her firm footprints in rooting herself in the front line and cultivating elite soldiers.
"A good political cadre can influence a soldier's life." Chen Dongsen (陈东森) regards learning innovative theories as a stepping stone to growth. She studies theory with emotion, writes more than 200,000 words of心得体会, and with her excellent theoretical literacy and teaching level, she has become the youngest member of the base's theoretical light cavalry team.
"Faced with our duties and missions, what should we do?" "How can we be good 'ears' for missile launches?"... In an education class organized by the communications company of a certain Rocket Force brigade, there was active interaction between the stage and the audience, and the atmosphere was warm. Du Kaili (杜凯丽), a sergeant in the communications company of a certain Rocket Force brigade, who was standing on the podium, revealed a confident smile. She said, "The courage to take the first step was given to me by the instructor."
Chen Dongsen (陈东森) found that Du Kaili (杜凯丽) usually studied theory very seriously, had a solid grasp of knowledge points, and had good expression skills. When the battalion organized a selection competition for political instructors, Chen Dongsen (陈东森) encouraged her to sign up. From conceiving educational points to sorting out theoretical hotspots, from teaching lecturing skills to making courseware, Chen Dongsen (陈东森) taught her bit by bit, helping Du Kaili (杜凯丽) successfully step onto the podium and grow into an instructor.
In recent years, Chen Dongsen (陈东森) has participated in more than 40 lectures organized by military-level and above units, shared her心得感悟 of learning and applying innovative theories in more than 20 brigade and regimental units, and has been invited to give lectures in other military units and universities. Aiming at the characteristics of officers and soldiers, she regards the company classroom as a position, and the infiltration-style education demonstration class she created and the "four haves and four senses" teaching method she summarized have been demonstrated and promoted by higher authorities.
Since the beginning of this year, the Rocket Force has carried out in-depth activities of "Big Heart-to-Heart Talks, Big Home Visits, and Big Discussions." In order to allow officers and soldiers to talk about their feelings and voices, and to resolve worries and difficulties in a timely manner, Chen Dongsen (陈东森) established a "five clear" knowledge card with clear basic information, clear family structure, clear pursuit goals, clear ideological status, and clear personal difficulties, and did ideological work to the hearts of officers and soldiers.
Actions speak louder than words. Chen Dongsen (陈东森) not only has excellent political qualities, but also excellent professional skills. In an exercise, when the task entered a critical stage, communication was suddenly interrupted. If it is not resolved quickly, it will affect the progress of the entire task. Chen Dongsen (陈东森) quickly directed the officers and soldiers to activate the emergency response plan, and within a few minutes, they located the fault point, quickly replaced the components, and restored information communication. "Our communications soldiers are the 'ears' of missile launches, and we must hone our excellent skills to ensure the smooth flow of combat instructions at any time," said Chen Dongsen (陈东森).
"The instructor has excellent qualities and a good work style and image. The officers and soldiers admire her from the bottom of their hearts, and she has also set a good example of a political cadre in front of everyone." Platoon Leader Li Weilin (李炜琳) said that in the usual military physical training, Chen Dongsen (陈东森) always insisted on self-pressurization, and the comprehensive evaluation has reached excellent for three consecutive years.
Focusing on fulfilling the mission, Chen Dongsen (陈东森) led the company's professional backbone to participate in the research and sorting out of dozens of items in 3 categories of emergency handling databases, and formulated corresponding response plans one by one. She also cultivated a group of excellent trumpeters through forms such as lecturing and tutoring, and pairing assistance, becoming the backbone of ensuring victory in combat.

In recent days, the National Radio and Television Administration (国家广播电视总局) issued the "Several Measures to Further Enrich TV Screen Content and Promote the Supply of Radio and Television Content" (《进一步丰富电视大屏内容 促进广电视听内容供给的若干举措》, hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"), releasing a series of benefits to the entire radio and television industry, especially the TV drama industry, greatly boosting industry confidence. Once the "Measures" were implemented, the stocks of many film and television sectors ushered in a surge, and in August, the subject types of TV series and online dramas filed for project approval showed diversified characteristics.
What content in the "Measures" has stimulated vitality inside and outside the industry? What impact will the implementation of these measures have on the industry? With a series of questions, reporters interviewed industry representatives.
Encourage innovation and provide more high-quality content
"Giving more freedom to creation is the first impression that the 'Measures' bring to the TV drama industry, and it is also the most exciting thing for industry confidence," said Su Xiao (苏晓), Vice President and Secretary-General of the China Television Production Industry Association (中国电视剧制作产业协会) and Chairman of Ningmeng Pictures (柠萌影视).
At the level of TV drama creation and broadcasting, the "Measures" clearly stated that the number of TV drama episodes will no longer be limited to 40; the scheduling of seasonal dramas will no longer require a one-year interval between the two seasons, and there will be no limit on the length of a single episode; the broadcast control of costume dramas will no longer limit the duration and proportion; and the "one drama two stars" (一剧两星) policy will no longer be restricted, and simultaneous online and TV broadcasting will be strongly supported.
"Insufficient supply of high-quality content is a common problem faced by both large and small screens. Giving enough freedom to creation will give birth to more diverse content products," said He Tianping (何天平), Deputy Director of the Department of Audiovisual Communication, School of Journalism, Renmin University of China (中国人民大学). "The 'Measures' respect the laws of artistic creation and content dissemination very well, and respond to industry needs and audience needs."
Recently, different themed dramas such as "Snow Labyrinth" (《雪迷宫》), "Tibetan Sea Legend" (《藏海传》), and "A Good Life" (《蛮好的人生》) broadcast on the online video platform Youku (优酷) have been welcomed by audiences. "The 'Measures' further relax the field of content creation, allowing the industry to dare to challenge more innovative themes and break down content creation barriers," said Zhang Lina (张丽娜), Vice President of H鯨文娱集团 and Editor-in-Chief of Youku. She observed that from the TV series and online drama project publicity announced by the State Administration of Radio and Television (广电总局) in August, the project themes are more abundant and diverse, indicating that the "Measures" have already taken effect.
Zhang Lina especially focused on the cancellation of the time interval between the two seasons of seasonal dramas in the "Measures." "I think this will form a very good publicity model. For the same production team and series of content, if the content of the first season is good, it will form a brand effect. This is a great encouragement to companies that dare to challenge seasonal dramas," said Zhang Lina.
In addition, the "Measures" clearly encourage the selection of excellent overseas works for high-quality localization adaptation; support the introduction of high-quality overseas TV series, documentaries, and animated films to be broadcast on satellite TV channels during prime time; optimize the allocation of imported drama indicators, and cancel the quantity limit of imported indicators for a single entity; coordinate online and TV linkage to form a long-term model for excellent overseas programs to be introduced online and on the big screen.
"In the past, some imported dramas have achieved good broadcast results in China, and the bottom line is that the values contained in them are consistent with ours," said Su Xiao. "I very much agree with the localized adaptation mentioned in the 'Measures,' learning from other people's storytelling methods to better present our content and values."
Actively explore and improve production efficiency
"Improving efficiency is another important signal released by the 'Measures'," said Su Xiao.
The "Measures" clearly propose to establish a synchronous review mechanism between the State Administration and the Provincial Administration to shorten the review cycle; for series dramas, seasonal dramas, unit dramas, sitcoms and other types of dramas, a "reviewing while broadcasting, revising while broadcasting" approach will be piloted to ensure the timeliness of broadcasting; optimize the content review of case-related dramas; optimize the coordination mechanism, and replace unnecessary coordination with expert intervention.
Zhang Lina said that the measures proposed in the "Measures," such as non-essential coordination and "reviewing while broadcasting, revising while broadcasting," are a positive exploration. "The purpose of non-essential coordination is to ensure the efficiency of the review on the basis of ensuring the richness of the content, which will help ensure the stability of the scheduling time plan, thereby enhancing the expectations of audiences and users for high-quality content products."
Su Xiao believes that the series of measures proposed by the "Measures" in terms of content review are actually a self-imposed pressure by the competent authorities. "For example, non-essential coordination means that the opinions of the competent authorities should be the main focus; shortening the review time, compressing the 50-day administrative review time to 30 days, will greatly improve the review efficiency." He believes that a series of explorations on content review will help accelerate the turnover of project funds, thereby further revitalizing industry resources and stimulating industry vitality.
"The pilot 'reviewing while broadcasting, revising while broadcasting' review and control mechanism is generally an exploratory reform of the current review mechanism. The goal is to stimulate industry vitality, and also draw on the management experience of the global audiovisual industry, giving the market full visibility," said He Tianping. "Where the boundaries of these measures will be in the future, and to what extent they will be realized, still need to be explored by the industry in practice. What the effect will be, or how much impact it can bring, and how much the reform will be, also needs to be continuously monitored."
Respect the rules and stimulate industry vitality
"The 'Measures' clearly released the positive signal of 'three respects': first, respect for content value; second, respect for industry voices; and third, respect for market rules," said He Tianping.
He said that for some time, the sluggish development of the traditional radio and television market has been an unavoidable reality. How to achieve quality and efficiency improvement is related to the survival of the entire industry. At the same time, the audiovisual industry is in a period of transformation. With the rise of online audiovisual, the pressure on traditional radio and television screens is obvious.
"In today's era when the media environment, market environment, and social and cultural environment are constantly changing, our traditional radio and television management regulations system that has been effectively tested for a long time may no longer be adapted to the new situation, and a change is inevitable. The introduction of the 'Measures' is a proactive action by the regulatory authorities, facing a new development situation and exploring new and effective management solutions," said He Tianping. "While listening to industry voices and responding to industry needs, the 'Measures' are also reconciling some structural contradictions that have emerged in the development of the audiovisual industry. It is not sacrificing the vitality of small screens while enriching large screens, but rather a systematic transformation from content creation to industrial innovation for the large audiovisual industry, including large and small screens."
"Respecting the rules can better stimulate industry vitality," Su Xiao pointed out that a series of problems in the development of the industry for some time have caused a sharp contraction of capital, directly leading to the contraction of the entire industry's production capacity, and the output of TV series and online dramas has been affected.
Industry insiders generally believe that a series of measures introduced by the "Measures," such as loosening content creation and optimizing the review mechanism, are major benefits for external capital to enter the industry, and will further stimulate the industry's innovation and creativity, thereby forming a positive cycle.
"Boosting industry confidence and stimulating the industry's self-driving force are important driving forces for promoting industry development," said Zhang Lina. "After the implementation of the 'Measures,' as the review speed accelerates and seasonal dramas are encouraged, I think the frequency of good content will become higher and higher, and everyone will be more and more willing to watch it, which will start a virtuous cycle."
Zhang Lina also believes that with stable scheduling and stable investment promotion, the industry will usher in prosperous development. "What will be developed is not only the content side, but also the industry-related technologies represented by ultra-high-definition virtual shooting and AI technology. With the improvement of the industry's technological infrastructure, our exploration in science fiction and other related themes will also become better and better."
He Tianping said that although the "Measures" have brought a series of benefits to the industry, it is also necessary to pay attention to the potential risks behind the benefits. This is why the "Measures" are new in "breakthrough" and focus on "implementation." "For example, does the cancellation of imported film quotas mean more intense competition for domestic production institutions? Can 'reviewing while broadcasting, revising while broadcasting' adapt to the existing soil in China's radio and television field? These remain to be concluded in practice."

Forbidden City Four Seasons - Screen Fridge Magnet, Butterfly Love Flower Makeup Mirror, Hexi Treasure Perfume, Twelve Flower Gods Bookmark... In a cultural and creative space of the Palace Museum (故宫博物院), various cultural and creative products are displayed in a dazzling array, attracting a constant stream of tourists.
"This fridge magnet embodies the transit trajectory of China's space station (中国空间站) taken from the Forbidden City (故宫). The combination of technology and humanities gives it a richer connotation," said Tie Zheng (铁铮), associate research librarian of the Cultural and Creative Business Department of the Palace Museum (故宫博物院文创事业部), pointing to a newly launched fridge magnet.
In recent years, Palace Museum (故宫) cultural and creative products have gained many fans. "Several cultural and creative products are in short supply and often out of stock," said Tie Zheng (铁铮). Currently, there are more than 3,000 kinds of Palace Museum (故宫) cultural and creative products, including stationery, cosmetics, food, and other 28 categories.
"For cultural and creative design, the first thing is to thoroughly understand the cultural connotation of the cultural relics." Tie Zheng (铁铮) introduced that when the team developed the Year of the Rabbit zodiac stamps, they selected 23 pieces (sets) of rabbit element cultural relics, including jade, bronzes, ceramics, etc., spanning more than 2,000 years from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "These cultural relics all have auspicious meanings, such as the che wei (车軎) in the bronze double rabbit car ornaments, which is an important part of ancient cars, used to fix the wheels, implying a steady and far-reaching journey. These cultural and creative products are very popular after they are launched."
Apple peels are made into dragon-patterned mobile phone bags, fallen leaves and dead branches are fermented to make "Songfu" bracelets, and plastic bottles are transformed into themed tote bags... Common items in people's lives are combined with Palace Museum (故宫) cultural relics, transforming into environmentally friendly and fashionable items.
"'Guochao' (国潮) is not just a replica of traditional culture, but also a creative transformation." Tie Zheng (铁铮) said, "These products are not only a combination of the wisdom of the ancients in 'respecting nature and cherishing things' and modern environmental protection concepts, but also tell the unique creative story on the central axis of Beijing (北京)."
Since the launch of the "Forbidden City Zero Waste" project until January 2024, more than 60,000 plastic bottles have been transformed into green cultural and creative products, equivalent to reducing emissions by 1.72 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
"To let the public get close to cultural relics, we must constantly explore different 'opening' methods of cultural relics." In Tie Zheng's (铁铮) view, in addition to cultural and creative products, various creative cultural activities are also a derivative form of cultural and creative products.
When preparing for the "Digital Duobaoge" exhibition project, some viewers suggested: "Can you let us get closer to the cultural relics, even closer?"
The team repeatedly discussed and finally selected more than 100 cultural relics from the 1.86 million cultural relics collected by the Palace Museum (故宫), and used cameras, laser scanners and other equipment to photograph and scan the cultural relics one by one to obtain three-dimensional data, and then used software to model and render them. For example, the Warring States period banquet music, fishing, hunting and attacking war pattern pot, viewers can touch the screen to make the mulberry picking, archery ceremony, banquet music, and land and water attacking war scenes "move". "Viewers can not only get closer to the cultural relics, but even 'hold the cultural relics in their hands'," said Tie Zheng (铁铮).
Compared with popular spots such as the Three Great Halls (三大殿), the Imperial Garden (御花园), and the Treasure Gallery (珍宝馆), there are relatively few tourists in some "hidden corners" of the Palace Museum (故宫). "Can we use innovative ways to guide people to feel the diverse culture of the Palace Museum (故宫) and understand the origin of cultural and creative products?" Tie Zheng (铁铮) thought.
In 2018, through the efforts of Tie Zheng (铁铮) and his colleagues, the first episode of the first season of *New Arrival Palace* (《上新了·故宫》) was broadcast. The program took "Qianlong's Secret Garden" as the theme, invited film and television stars to serve as Palace Museum (故宫) cultural and creative new product developers, walked into the Juanqinzhai (倦勤斋) to experience the Palace Museum (故宫) culture up close, and jointly launched cultural and creative products with designers combining wisteria birds, bamboo-shaped patterns and other Jiangnan garden elements...
"Letting cultural variety shows promote the interpretation and popularization of excellent traditional culture has narrowed the distance between the public, especially young people, and cultural heritage," said Tie Zheng (铁铮).
Come to the Palace Museum (故宫) for afternoon tea, drink Corner Tower Coffee (角楼咖啡), and eat a bowl of old Beijing fried sauce noodles at the Ice Cellar Restaurant (冰窖餐厅)... Tie Zheng (铁铮) looks forward to doing a good job in "culture" and "creation" to attract more audiences to the Palace Museum (故宫) and experience the breadth and depth of Chinese culture in different fields.

At 8 PM, the Nanning Theater (南宁剧场) Starlight Theater (星光剧场) in Nanning (南宁), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (广西壮族自治区), gradually becomes lively.
Following the flow of people, lifting the curtain of the small theater, retro-style escalators, old-fashioned cars, and tables and chairs appear before your eyes, making you feel like you are in another time and space. The performance venue can accommodate more than 200 audience members. Stage props such as sofas and desks are set up in the audience area, and actors shuttle through the audience, breaking the traditional boundaries of viewing.
"This is my first time watching a play in such an immersive way, it feels like I am part of the story," said Huang Liu (黄柳), a citizen of Nanning (南宁).
Recently, the small theater drama performance season – Nanning Starlight Theater (南宁星光剧场) "Drama Performance Season" – was released by the Guangxi Cultural Industry Group (广西文化产业集团) and presented by the Guangxi Performing Arts Company (广西演出公司). The premiere performance was the recently popular panoramic immersive interactive drama "Detective Zhao Gan'e 2 (大真探赵赶鹅2)".
Many parents brought their children into the theater to get a sneak peek. Ms. Liu (刘女士) watched the performance with her 15-year-old daughter: "We were both infected by the atmosphere and took the initiative to interact with the actors."
As the performance ended, applause thundered, and many audience members were reluctant to leave for a long time. "The audience is very enthusiastic. To adapt to localization, many interactions have added local dialects," said Xiao Yingjie (肖颖婕), an actor in "Detective Zhao Gan'e 2 (大真探赵赶鹅2)". "Many parents bring their children to watch the performance, and we also interact with the children during the performance."
The play has been successfully performed 17 times, with an average attendance rate of over 75%. Liu Qian (刘谦), a staff member of the Marketing Department of Guangxi Performing Arts Company (广西演出公司), said: "Immersive interactive dramas are very popular, and seats with more interaction with actors are often sold out as soon as they are released."
"Small theater performances have unique advantages, and the audience response is very good," said Tang Hua (唐华), Deputy General Manager of Guangxi Performing Arts Company (广西演出公司). Not far from the performance shed are rows of folding seats. Usually, the Starlight Theater (星光剧场) can accommodate 500 audience members. By adjusting the seating area, the size of the performance stage can be changed to better meet the needs of different performances such as immersive dramas, improvisational comedies, children's plays, and interactive magic shows.
According to reports, this performance season will last until December, launching 13 excellent plays such as "Mr. Durian and Miss Luosifen (榴莲先生和螺蛳粉小姐)", "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles (千里走单骑)", and "Mistakes (阴差阳错)", with a total of 56 performances, covering different categories such as dramas, children's plays, and musicals, to meet the viewing needs of different groups of people.
In addition to introducing popular plays, the performance season also focuses on cultivating local drama talents and providing a stage for local works. In the first half of this year, 20 young actors from the autonomous region's professional troupes, universities, and new literary groups went to the Central Academy of Drama (中央戏剧学院) to participate in a training class to improve their abilities in drama creation and performance talents, and collectively created the original small theater drama "Hamlet in the Classroom (课堂上的哈姆雷特)". In this performance season, these 20 young actors will also bring this drama to the audience.
On the Qixi Festival (七夕夜), the Starlight Theater (星光剧场) also held a "Qixi Get Together to Catch Geese" stage tour and a meeting with the leading actors. The audience followed the leading actors of "Detective Zhao Gan'e 2 (大真探赵赶鹅2)" into the core area of the theater to decipher the stage scenery and interactive devices at zero distance, experiencing the identity transformation "from audience to behind the scenes." It is understood that the theater will continue the form of "behind-the-scenes exploration + dialogue with the main creators" and will also expand forms such as workshops and script reading sessions in the future to meet the diverse cultural needs of the audience.

Humanoid robots dance to the music, quadruped robot dogs jump and roll in formation... Recently, a reporter visited a robot 6S store in Longgang District (龙岗区), Shenzhen (深圳市), Guangdong Province (广东省). The square in front of the store was particularly lively, with many robots "actively" interacting with citizens.
Everyone is familiar with automobile 4S stores, but what is new about robot 6S stores? According to reports, robot 6S stores integrate leasing and personalized customization modules on the basis of the traditional 4S store model of "sales, spare parts, service, and information feedback," promoting robots to move from the laboratory to the market and from technical concepts to life scenarios.
In the 6S store, a child shakes hands with a robot that greets him, and the robot responds in a child's voice, "Nice to meet you." On the other side, a parent is testing a "brainpower racing" robot with their child. Here, robots have become touchable and interactive friends. Lin Feng (林枫), the 6S store manager and CEO of Shenzhen Future Era Robot Co., Ltd. (深圳未来时代机器人有限公司), introduced that the store currently has many categories of robots, such as industrial robots, companion robots, and health monitoring robots.
Traditional robot sales rely heavily on online channels, making it difficult for users to intuitively experience the robot's movement, interaction capabilities, and so on. The robot 6S store adopts a "display and sales integration" model, transforming abstract technical parameters into touchable, interactive, and experiential scenario-based displays, allowing people to observe the joint flexibility of humanoid robots up close, interact with robot dogs through commands, and experience the functions of service robots.
The "Robot Spare Parts Supermarket" in the 6S store can be called a "robot emergency room," bringing together core components such as sensors and reducers, covering the maintenance needs of mainstream humanoid robots. "Whether it is a sensor failure of a home service robot or a mechanical arm damage of an industrial inspection robot, matching spare parts can be found here," an employee introduced.
"This robot is very suitable for health monitoring for the elderly, but I hope to monitor the elderly's breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen and other indicators in two scenarios: watching TV and sleeping. Can it be done?" A customer at the scene asked, pointing to the health monitoring robot.
"Yes! You provide specific scenarios, and we will carry out personalized customization," Lin Feng (林枫) replied.
Lin Feng (林枫) said that the price of a humanoid robot is currently mostly between 100,000 and 200,000 yuan, but there is a great demand for leasing and personalized customization. In the 6S store, the business of health monitoring robot customization and humanoid robot leasing accounts for a considerable proportion. Leasing and personalized customization will become an important form for robots to enter thousands of households.
"The technical team will deeply understand customers' demands for scenarios and functions, and provide a full-process solution from hardware structure design to appearance modeling customization," Lin Feng (林枫) said. Different industries have different needs for robots, and customized services allow robots to better adapt to different scenarios.
"Currently, more than 200 upstream and downstream companies in the industrial chain have expressed their intention to move in, including nearly 50 humanoid robot and service robot companies, covering all aspects of the entire industrial chain," Lin Feng (林枫) introduced.
"The 6S store will become an 'innovation test field' for the robot industry, promoting robots to better enter the lives of ordinary people," Lin Feng (林枫) said.
Return to TopThis newspaper Xining (西宁) August 31st (Reporter Cao Jiwei (曹继炜)) Since the beginning of this year, the number of tourists received by the Qinghai Provincial Museum (青海省博物馆) has continued to climb. Especially during the peak summer tourist season, the average daily reception of tourists is nearly 10,000.
The Qinghai Provincial Museum (青海省博物馆), in conjunction with the museum's carrying capacity, allocates daily reservation quotas in morning and afternoon time slots. It updates the remaining ticket information for each time slot in real time through the official WeChat public account, and simultaneously pushes information such as "staggered visit reminders" and "reservation instructions" to guide tourists to plan their itineraries reasonably.
For groups such as the elderly and children, the Qinghai Provincial Museum (青海省博物馆) retains the "offline registration + family accompaniment" reservation-free channel, and arranges special personnel to assist in completing the admission process. It optimizes the guidance at the entrance and exhibition area. In the square outside the museum, a temporary sunshade queuing area is set up, equipped with water dispensers and emergency equipment, and staff are arranged to check the reservation codes in advance and guide the security check steps to reduce the waiting time at the entrance.
The Qinghai Provincial Museum (青海省博物馆) has also launched a series of explanation services called "History Lessons in Cultural Relics" for teenagers and students, and designed a research activity called "National Treasure Guardian Order" to allow children to learn about cultural relic knowledge in interactive games. It has launched an immersive interactive experience project to explore archaeological excavation sites, allowing audiences to better understand history.
Return to TopWuzhong City (吴忠市), Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (宁夏回族自治区), is located on the banks of the Yellow River (黄河), in the heart of the Ningxia (宁夏) irrigation area, and is known as the "water and land port, the grand market of the world." Litong District (利通区) is the central urban area of Wuzhong City (吴忠市), where 470,000 people drink from the same river and are as close as family.
In 2005, Litong District (利通区) held the first Community Neighbors Festival, and pilot neighborly activities were carried out in 14 communities in Shengli Town (胜利镇). Over the years, the Litong District (利通区) Community Neighbors Festival has expanded from a pilot township to all townships, held annually on a regular basis. More than 1,500 neighborly activities have been carried out, and the accumulated warmth continues to irrigate the hearts of people of all ethnic groups.
This year, the 21st Litong District (利通区) Community Neighbors Festival will be held on September 12. With the theme of "Neighborhood Friendship, One Family," this year's Community Neighbors Festival will feature 10 activities, including a potluck banquet, intangible cultural heritage displays, volunteer services, and agricultural product exhibitions, aiming to promote co-residence, co-learning, co-construction, co-sharing, co-work, and co-enjoyment among people of all ethnic groups.
Over the past 20 years, the Community Neighbors Festival has become a common festival for all ethnic groups in Litong District (利通区), sowing the seeds of ethnic unity in the hearts of people of all ethnic groups, and helping Litong District (利通区) to be successively named a National Model County for Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress and a National Demonstration Zone for Ethnic Unity and Progress.
The Community Neighbors Festival turns "strangers" into "good neighbors."
Ethnic minorities account for more than half of the total population of Litong District (利通区), and promoting ethnic unity and doing a good job in grassroots governance are the top priorities of the district's work.
Since the 21st century, the urbanization process in Litong District (利通区) has been accelerating, and the urbanization rate has reached more than 70%. However, as the pace of life and work of residents continues to accelerate, interactions between neighbors have gradually decreased, and they are only "familiar faces" to each other. In order to turn "strangers" into "good neighbors" and create a good neighborhood relationship, Litong District (利通区) held the first Community Neighbors Festival in 2005, with more than 50 neighborly activities held over a period of more than three months, and the activities were carried out in a solid manner.
Litong District (利通区) has built an activity system driven by the government, implemented by the community, and participated in by the masses. At the first Community Neighbors Festival, community cadres and the masses of Shengli Town (胜利镇) set the festival song, selected the festival emblem, sent gifts, and made food, demonstrating the community's sense of ownership. At the Baijia Banquet (百家宴) in Xinhua Community (新华社区), everyone ate and chatted, exchanging cooking skills, and the warmth and trust between neighbors were established in one home-cooked meal and one sincere word.
After the successful "pilot" of the first event in Shengli Town (胜利镇), Litong District (利通区) took this as a starting point, responding to the community residents' eager call for neighborhood friendship, gradually expanding the coverage of the Community Neighbors Festival activities, and continuously carrying out ethnic unity and progress creation activities with Litong characteristics.
Improve the co-residence network. Litong District (利通区) has built a five-level organizational vertical creation system of "Litong District (利通区) Party Committee - Township Party Committee - Village (Community) Party Organization - Grid Party Branch - Building Party Group," promoting the "forging of the Chinese nation's community consciousness" into townships, communities, grids, residential areas, and families. It improves the horizontal linkage mechanism of "community whistle-blowing, department reporting," and builds the residential area into a "harmonious neighborhood" with effective governance, harmonious neighborhood relations, and a high degree of happiness.
Promote cultural integration. Litong District (利通区) innovates cultural activity carriers, widely carries out cultural activities such as "forging the Chinese nation's community consciousness" cultural tours and "cultural benefits for the people, sending operas to the countryside," organizes intangible cultural heritage projects to enter the countryside, and a series of activities such as the "Dream Back to a Thousand Years: Shang Yun Litong (裳韵利通)" Hanfu Culture Tour Competition, more than 30 events, giving cultural activities rich connotations, attracting wide participation from people of all ethnic groups, and continuously enhancing the "five recognitions."
Gather neighborhood friendship and empower community governance.
Over the past 20 years, the Litong District (利通区) Community Neighbors Festival has become more and more exciting, painting a new picture of "loving neighbors and effective governance."
On June 19, 2025, at the warm Baijia Banquet (百家宴) themed event of the Community Neighbors Festival in Jinhuayuan Community (金花园社区), Jinxing Town (金星镇), Litong District (利通区), more than 500 people of all ethnic groups brought delicious food such as hand-grabbed mutton, powdered soup, hot noodle oil cakes, and babao tea; in the intangible cultural heritage exhibition area of the Munin Market, intangible cultural heritage projects such as sugar painting, paper cutting, and embroidery attracted people to stop and experience; the village-community joint construction common prosperity direct train, full of agricultural specialty products, allowed everyone to taste and purchase.
These dazzling "material feasts" and "spiritual feasts" have become standard features of the Community Neighbors Festival in various communities in Litong District (利通区), and "residents place orders, communities dispatch orders, and farmers receive orders" has also become the norm. In frequent interactions, urban and rural resources are strengthened, achieving a "double harvest" of helping farmers increase income and benefiting the people.
The warming of neighborhood relations has promoted the improvement of community governance. Inspired by the Community Neighbors Festival, many residents have actively joined the volunteer service team. More than 100 residents in Jinhuayuan Community (金花园社区) have joined the "Iron Squad Leader" volunteer service team. At present, the number of volunteers in Litong District (利通区) has exceeded 110,000, with 1 volunteer for every 4 permanent residents, and the total annual service time is more than 1.1486 million hours. The "City of Good People" and "City of Volunteers" are becoming new business cards of Litong District (利通区).
In 2004, the first community volunteer service group in Wuzhong City (吴忠市), the Wang Lanhua (王兰花) Enthusiastic Group, was established. To date, the Enthusiastic Group has developed into the "Lanhua Fenfang (兰花芬芳)" volunteer service team. Over the past 21 years, the volunteer service team has solved more than 7,500 difficulties for residents and carried out more than 7,500 public welfare activities, continuously enriching the spiritual background of volunteer service in Litong District (利通区).
Today, Litong District (利通区) continues to give play to the demonstration and driving role of the "Lanhua Fenfang (兰花芬芳)" volunteer service brand, and has upgraded 36 brands such as "knocking on doors with bags" for elderly services and "Happy Harbor" for caring for left-behind children, building a warm bridge for people of all ethnic groups to co-reside, co-learn, co-build, co-share, co-work, and co-enjoy, allowing people of all ethnic groups to hug each other tightly like pomegranate seeds, hand in hand, as close as family.
Seek development with unity and build a better home together.
Promote development with unity and benefit people's livelihood with development. The Litong District (利通区) Community Neighbors Festival has been held for 20 consecutive years, and people of all ethnic groups are close to each other, helping each other, and constantly empowering local development.
In 2025, Litong District (利通区) anchored the four key points of "planning, revitalizing industry, strengthening the foundation, and enriching the people," creating a "development matrix" covering 128 projects with a total investment of about 50 billion yuan; cultivating 8 national A-level tourist attractions and 14 star-rated rural tourism demonstration sites, and as of the end of July, it has driven cumulative consumption of 142 million yuan; continuing to promote the improvement of the rural living environment, achieving 100% rural centralized water supply, and people of all ethnic groups are building a better home together.
In the Wencui Community (文萃社区) canteen in Banqiao Township (板桥乡), the elderly can eat at preferential prices, and the community also provides meal delivery services to disabled elderly people. At present, Litong District (利通区) has built 18 day care centers and 6 meal assistance points, making "aging in the community" a reality. At the same time, Litong District (利通区) has completed the renovation of 141 old residential areas, and the living conditions of 16,170 households have been substantially improved.
In the next step, Litong District (利通区) will continue to use the Community Neighbors Festival platform to drive community governance with neighborhood harmony, let the flower of ethnic unity bloom in the community, and create a beautiful landscape line of harmony and unity on the banks of the Yellow River (黄河).

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The Japanese militarists' inhumane acts of aggression, heinous massacres, and barbaric and frenzied plunder and destruction brought unspeakable disasters to the Chinese people and the people of the vast Asian countries. **前事不忘，后事之师** (qián shì bù wàng, hòu shì zhī shī - "Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future," learning from past mistakes to avoid repeating them). General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Condemning the brutality of the aggressors and emphasizing the importance of remembering historical experiences and lessons is not to perpetuate hatred, but to awaken kind people's yearning for and adherence to peace, and to take history as a mirror, face the future, and jointly cherish and safeguard peace." In recent years, the collection and research of historical materials on the crimes committed by Japan in its invasion of China by scholars at home and abroad have been fruitful, presenting an unprecedented breadth and depth. From the dusty archives, from the firm narratives of the elderly witnesses, and from the diligent efforts of researchers, the history of the crimes committed by Japan in its invasion of China is presented to the world in a richer, more accurate, and more impactful way. These studies are not only a reaffirmation of the past atrocities of the aggressors, but also a profound questioning of historical justice and an eternal commitment to human peace.
New historical materials that are constantly collected and sorted further solidify the evidence of Japan's crimes in its invasion of China.
Historical materials are the foundation of historical research. On the eve of the end of World War II, the Japanese government systematically and massively destroyed wartime core secret archives, resulting in a lack of first-hand core archival documents for the post-war investigation of the crimes of the Japanese invading army and historical research. In 2015, when the 18th CPC Central Committee Political Bureau conducted its 25th collective study on the review and reflection of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "To deepen the study of the War of Resistance, we must rely more on archives, materials, facts, and testimonies of parties involved, as well as various physical evidences. We must strengthen the basic work of collecting and sorting materials, comprehensively sort out the archives, photos, materials, and objects of the War of Resistance in various parts of our country, and at the same time, collect image materials, books and periodicals, diaries and letters, and objects from around the world." In the past 10 years, through extensive collection and in-depth excavation by academic circles at home and abroad, batches of long-sealed original archives of the crimes committed by the Japanese invading army have resurfaced, and oral history interviews with war perpetrators, victims, and witnesses are in full swing.
The continuous excavation of archives and documents at home and abroad has further enriched and expanded the sources of evidence of the crimes of the Japanese army. In recent years, academic circles and archives at all levels in China have launched a series of archival documents exposing the Nanjing Massacre (南京大屠杀), germ warfare, chemical warfare, "comfort women," indiscriminate bombing, and forced labor committed by the Japanese invading army. Since 2021, the Russian Federal Archives Agency has launched the "1949 Khabarovsk (伯力) Trial Archives" project, declassifying and launching 370 sets of archival documents. This is the core historical material of Japan's germ warfare and an important evidence for a comprehensive understanding of the Khabarovsk Trial and key issues of Unit 731 (731部队), which greatly enhances the overall understanding of the Khabarovsk Trial with rich historical details. Some righteous scholars in Japan have also continuously excavated and published a number of related archives of Japan's germ warfare, such as Makoto Matsuno (松野誠), a researcher at Meiji Gakuin University (明治学院大学), who collected and published first-hand archival materials such as the "List of Senior Civilian Officials of the Army, Army Secretary, Army Technician" (《陆军高等文官名簿 陆军书记官 陆军技师》) at the Japan National Archives, further revealing the inside story of Japan's germ warfare in its invasion of China. The diaries of some Japanese soldiers, such as Lieutenant Colonel Kimura (木村中佐), Eisaku Saijo (西条荣策), and Atsushi Arai (新井淳), have been published successively, further corroborating the truth of the Nanjing Massacre and the crimes of the "comfort women" system. In addition, the archives of the "counterfeit currency war" launched by the Japanese invading army in South China (华南) were also made public. These archives recorded in detail the quantity, location, process, distribution and flow of spoils, and usage regulations of the counterfeit currency. The excavation of more and more archival materials has constructed a more rigorous chain of evidence for the crimes of the aggressors.
Oral history, as a vivid supplement to archival documents, has unique emotional power and detailed value. As the witnesses are getting older, the rescue collection work is imminent. In recent years, some universities, research institutions, and non-governmental organizations in China have carried out oral history research on the victims of the atrocities committed by the Japanese invading army. The testimonies of groups such as survivors of the Nanjing Massacre, victims of germ warfare, victims of the "comfort women" system, and survivors of forced labor have been systematically recorded, sorted, verified, and preserved. Scholars in Shandong (山东), Zhejiang (浙江), Jiangsu (江苏) and other places organized college students to conduct rural surveys, and successively published a series of oral materials of victims and witnesses of germ warfare, providing important documents for the epidemiological research after the Japanese invading army launched germ warfare. Tamaki Matsuoka (松冈环), founder of the "Continuing Nanjing Memory Association" and chairman of the Japanese Mingshin Association (日本铭心会), and Kenji Ono (小野贤二), a Japanese folk researcher of the Nanjing Massacre, organized and published the oral testimonies of Japanese veterans of the Nanjing Massacre by interviewing Japanese veterans. In recent years, the oral testimony materials of Masakuni Kurumisawa (胡桃泽正邦), a former member of Unit 731, and Hideo Shimizu (清水英男), a boy soldier, have revealed the crimes of Unit 731 in conducting human anatomy and human experiments, as well as implementing germ warfare. These oral materials not only record the specific experiences of victims, details of atrocities, and geographical environment, but also carry indelible emotional trauma and life experiences, giving the cold archives the warmth of life.
The network platform database has become a new platform for exposing the crimes of Japanese aggression. In September 2018, the "Anti-Japanese War and Modern Sino-Japanese Relations Literature Data Platform" of the Institute of Modern History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (中国社会科学院近代史研究所) was officially launched. The platform literature includes seven categories of resources: books, newspapers, periodicals, archives, audio, pictures, and videos. The online literature includes more than 83 million pages of high-definition images and nearly 180 million words of recorded text, which are open to the whole society for free. In Japan, the Asian Historical Materials Center, established in 2001, is also continuously publishing materials related to Asia from the early Meiji period to the end of the Pacific War collected by the Japan National Archives, the Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Library of the Defense Research Institute of the Defense Agency through the Internet. These two major data platforms in China and Japan provide a large number of relevant historical materials involving Japanese war atrocities. In addition, the South Korean "Database of Historical Materials on Japanese Military Comfort Women" collects and organizes more than 80,000 items of "comfort women" related materials for academic use. The massive amount of literature and materials gathered by the network platform has greatly broadened the path for the study of the crimes committed by the Japanese invading army.
Interdisciplinary integrated research constantly explores new dimensions in understanding the crimes committed by the Japanese invading army.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "We must adhere to the materialist conception of history to understand and record history, and base historical conclusions on detailed and accurate historical materials and in-depth and meticulous research and analysis." In the study of the evidence of the crimes committed by the Japanese invading army, the academic community has continuously collected and enriched first-hand archival documents and oral materials, but it is also necessary to conduct in-depth and meticulous research in order to draw scientific historical conclusions, deeply expose the crimes committed by the Japanese invading army, and restore the truth of history. In recent years, the study of the evidence of the crimes committed by Japan in its invasion of China has gradually shown a clear trend of interdisciplinary integrated research. In particular, with the application of big data, the theories, methods, and perspectives of multiple disciplines are deeply integrated, and new dimensions in understanding the crimes committed by the Japanese invading army are constantly explored.
The deepening of historical micro-history of individual cases and global macro-history has greatly enriched the level of research. Micro-history research focuses on specific regions, specific events, specific groups, and even individual life histories. For example, in-depth textual research on the villages slaughtered by the Japanese army, such as Hushan Village (湖山村) and Xigangtou Village (西岗头村) in Tangshan Town (汤山镇) in the suburbs of Nanjing (南京) during the Nanjing Massacre, uses multiple evidences such as Japanese army diaries, local chronicles, genealogies, and especially survivor oral accounts to restore the specific process of the massacre, the disintegration of the village social structure under violence, and the difficult post-war survival trajectory of the survivors. This "thick description" style of research returns the abstract numbers under the grand narrative to named, surnamed, flesh-and-blood individual lives, revealing the devastating impact of war violence on the most basic social villages. At the same time, the global history perspective considers the crimes committed by Japan in its invasion of China in the broader context of imperialist expansion, the colonial system, and the global spread of fascism. Researchers deeply analyze the internal connections and common patterns between the crimes of aggression committed by Japan in the Korean Peninsula (朝鲜半岛), Southeast Asia (东南亚), and the Pacific region during the war, and also conduct comparative studies of the Nazi Holocaust atrocities in Germany and the Holocaust atrocities committed by Japan in the Far East. This perspective breaks the limitations of the national history view and reveals the uniqueness and commonality of the crimes of the Japanese invasion of China.
Interdisciplinary research demonstrates a strong explanatory power for the atrocities committed by the Japanese army. The intervention of law (especially international law and the law of war) provides a rigorous legal analysis framework for determining the nature of specific atrocities committed by the Japanese invading army (crimes against peace, war crimes, crimes against humanity). Scholars use legal principles to meticulously analyze the illegal constituent elements of behaviors such as the Nanjing Massacre, the "comfort women" system, indiscriminate bombing, and the use of biochemical weapons, and discuss the accountability mechanisms for Japan's national responsibility and the personal responsibility of war criminals. Their research results directly serve the demands for historical justice in reality. The sociological perspective focuses on issues such as social structure, population flow, family relations, and intergenerational trauma caused by the war. Through social surveys and data analysis, research is conducted on the refugee crisis, orphan problems, legacy effects of sexual violence, and post-war social trust crisis caused by the war, revealing how war atrocities persistently affect the social psychology of the social public, especially young people. Emerging fields such as medical history and environmental history have also contributed unique insights. Medical history research focuses on Japanese biochemical units such as Unit 731, revealing the essence of their anti-human atrocities in the name of "science" and "medical progress," such as conducting live vivisection, bacterial infection, frostbite experiments, and biochemical warfare. The research results critically analyze how wartime Japanese technology was kidnapped by militarism, completely deviated from the medical ethics of saving lives and helping the wounded, and was reduced to a killing machine. The environmental history perspective focuses on the systematic damage caused by the war of aggression against China to China's ecological environment: the long-term poisoning of the regional ecosystem by the germ warfare conducted by the Japanese army for military purposes, the continuous pollution of soil and water sources by abandoned chemical weapons, and the predatory exploitation of forest and mineral resources. These studies reveal that war is not only a disaster for human society, but also a catastrophe for the ecological environment.
The use of big data helps analyze new areas of research on the crimes committed by the Japanese army. Based on oral history data of germ warfare, some scholars used geographic information systems and statistical tools to quantitatively analyze oral materials, and combined archives, local chronicles, and historical and cultural materials from China and Japan to achieve multi-party verification. Based on spatiotemporal analysis, they restored the historical scenes of rural areas during the war, analyzed the direction and destination choices of people's migration during the war, and constructed a chain of evidence for the activities of the Japanese invading army and the local epidemic of diseases. Some scholars also used pre-trained models to identify the sentiment polarity of sentences in "The Diaries of John Rabe" and explored the emotional distribution characteristics, changing trends, and emotional tendencies towards different characters of John Rabe before and after the Nanjing Massacre from an overall perspective through time series statistics, map mapping, and historical material comparison. The research shows that John Rabe did not strengthen the narrative intention of the Japanese army's atrocities, nor did he have obvious national prejudices, refuting the Japanese right-wing's questioning of the objectivity of John Rabe's diary by third parties.
Safeguarding the truth of history and jointly building a peaceful future for mankind.
"History is the best textbook and the best sobering agent." In-depth and systematic research on the evidence of the crimes committed by Japan in its invasion of China has significance far beyond restoring history itself. It transcends national boundaries and concerns the common conscience and future of mankind. On May 7 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) published a signed article in Rossiyskaya Gazeta entitled "Drawing Lessons from History and Creating the Future Together," pointing out that "the memory and truth of history will not fade with the passage of time, and the enlightenment it brings to us will always illuminate reality and indicate the future." History is a beacon that illuminates reality and inspires the future, carrying irreplaceable value of the times.
Countering the reverse current of historical nihilism. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "All attitudes that disregard the history of the war of aggression, and all remarks that beautify the nature of the war of aggression, no matter how many times they are said, no matter how high-sounding they are, are harmful to human peace and justice." The research results with ironclad evidence are the most powerful weapon to counter the systematic denial of the history of aggression, the beautification of colonial rule, the questioning of atrocities such as the Nanjing Massacre, and the denial of the mandatory nature of the "comfort women" system by the right-wing forces in Japan. After the end of World War II, the crimes of Japan's war of aggression against China were justly tried and forever nailed to the pillar of historical shame. History will not change due to the changes of the times, and facts will not disappear due to sophistry. Solid chains of archival evidence, testimonies of victims with named and surnamed, and rigorous academic arguments constitute an unshakable historical fortress. Every discovery of a new archive and every deepening of research is a reinforcement of the fortress of historical truth, making any attempt to distort and whitewash history nowhere to hide in the face of facts. This defense is not only a whip against the aggressors, but also a consolation to the victims, a maintenance of national dignity, and an adherence to the basic moral bottom line of human society.
Cultivating national spirit and building a collective memory. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "In the face of the aggressors' butcher knives, the Chinese people built a new Great Wall with their flesh and blood, and everyone was determined to die. Thousands of heroes bravely advanced in the aggressors' artillery fire and heroically died under the aggressors' butcher knives, demonstrating the Chinese nation's indomitable spirit of **威武不能屈** (wēi wǔ bù néng qū - "cannot be subdued by force," unyielding in the face of power or pressure)." It is precisely the indomitable spirit passed down from generation to generation by the Chinese nation that, at the critical moment of national survival, burst out with a strong spiritual driving force that united the whole country and regarded death as home. In-depth research on the evidence of the crimes committed by Japan in its invasion of China makes that history of suffering and resistance soaked in blood and tears more clearly and deeply integrated into the national bloodline and transformed into a collective memory. It educates generations of Chinese people that today's peace and dignity were forged by countless martyrs with their flesh and blood, and are the result of the Chinese nation's unyielding struggle in deep suffering. This memory based on solid historical facts can effectively stimulate the deep and rational patriotic feelings of the Chinese people. This common memory makes the Chinese nation more tenacious due to the suffering of the war and more confident due to the victory of the War of Resistance. The victory of the War of Resistance has therefore become a turning point in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, strengthening the spiritual bond of the Chinese nation's community.
Warning people of all countries in the world to join hands to build a peaceful future. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Peace is hard-won, and peace must be defended." The study of the evidence of the crimes committed by Japan in its invasion of China has profound world significance. It reveals the disastrous consequences of extreme nationalism, militarism, and power politics. The anti-human atrocities committed by the Japanese invading army in the war are a huge trauma in the history of human civilization. In-depth research on its roots, mechanisms, and consequences provides a classic case for all mankind to reflect on war and cherish peace. The war of aggression against China launched by Japanese fascists brought unprecedented disasters to the Chinese people. More than 35 million Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed or injured, with direct economic losses of 100 billion US dollars and indirect economic losses of 500 billion US dollars... The Chinese people went through 14 years of bloody battles before the sunshine of peace once again shone on the earth. This heavy historical lesson warns the world that peace is like a finely crafted jade, which requires the careful care of each of us; human dignity cannot be trampled on under any pretext; only by respecting history and taking history as a mirror can the people of all countries in the world truly avoid the recurrence of tragedy, so as to join hands to build peace and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind that concerns the beautiful future of mankind.

Cadres should prioritize action; leaders should prioritize leadership. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Leading cadres' adherence to setting an example in all aspects is an effective leadership and working method," and "Requiring people from above and pushing people from behind are not as effective as leading people from the front." Leading cadres are the "critical few" in the development of the Party and the country, practitioners, demonstrators, and leaders of Party spirit and Party conduct. They must remember that "one action is better than a dozen programs," do more "follow me," and less "do it for me," transform assigned orders into action leadership, lead everyone to think in one direction, exert strength in one direction, and twist into one rope to promote policy implementation and work implementation, truly stimulating "wild goose vitality" with the "leading goose effect."
Demonstration is the best leadership, and action is a silent command. Looking back at the Party's history of more than a hundred years, the reason why our Party has been able to overcome the rain of bullets in bloody battles, overcome the difficulties of starting a business, and overcome the thousands of difficulties and dangers of reform and opening up, creating a historical feat that leads the nation to achieve self-reliance and self-improvement, the country to achieve development and progress, and the Party itself to maintain its youthful vitality, is precisely because countless Party leading cadres have taken the lead, set an example, and worked hard. With firm beliefs and fearless courage, they have won the support of the masses and gathered an indestructible Party spirit and popular support. For example, the life of Comrade Yang Shanzhou (杨善洲) is a vivid portrayal of taking the lead in setting an example. During his tenure as Secretary of the Baoshan Prefectural Committee (保山地委) in Yunnan (云南), he traveled all over the villages and mountains, and worked with the masses in a down-to-earth manner. The local people affectionately called him "Secretary Straw Hat." After retiring from the post of Prefectural Committee Secretary, Yang Shanzhou gave up the opportunity to go to the provincial capital to enjoy his old age, and took root in Daliang Mountain (大亮山) in Shidian County (施甸县), Yunnan (云南) for many years, leading the masses to plant trees and build forest farms. Today, in the depths of Daliang Mountain (大亮山), the seedlings planted by Yang Shanzhou (杨善洲) and his team have grown into tens of thousands of acres of vast forest. "Yang Shanzhou (杨善洲), Yang Shanzhou (杨善洲), the old ox pulls the cart without looking back, an official for a while with empty hands, retires and drills into the mountain ditch again," to this day, this song in memory of him is still circulating locally.
Since the new era, from fighting side by side with people in difficulty on the battlefield of poverty alleviation and jointly heading towards a moderately prosperous society, to leading rural development and drawing a beautiful picture on the road of comprehensive rural revitalization; from going against the tide and protecting lives during the COVID-19 epidemic, to stepping forward and rescuing disasters in major natural disasters... countless Party leading cadres have worked on the front line and taken responsibility, interpreting loyalty with leading the implementation, and embodying responsibility with promoting development, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of all parties to ensure that the Party Central Committee's various decisions and deployments take root, blossom, and bear fruit.
The Party Constitution clearly stipulates that Party cadres must "emphasize Party spirit, value character, and set an example." The vanguard and exemplary role and leading demonstration role of leading cadres as "leading geese" are by no means shouted out, but done. This "doing" means rolling up sleeves, swinging arms, and doing it in a down-to-earth manner, rather than pretending, putting on airs, and hypocritically "acting." However, in reality, there are also individual leading cadres who are picky and afraid of hardship when doing work, unwilling to take the lead in solving problems in the face of difficulties, and dare not take the lead in moving forward in the face of risks. When encountering problems, they push the decision-making responsibility to their superiors, and often say, "I will only do it after the leader decides"; when something goes wrong, they push the responsibility to their subordinates, and blurt out, "You can handle it." Doing work according to this kind of thinking and practice will not only accomplish nothing, but will ultimately damage the image of leading cadres in the hearts of the people.
If leading cadres only want to seize power but do not want to take responsibility, only want to be officials but are unwilling to work, and act as "hands-off shopkeepers" when things happen, and play "pass the buck" when things go wrong, then they will definitely not be able to gain the support of the people. Only by taking "leading by example" as a measure to implement responsibility, taking "doing practical things" as the foundation of one's life, remembering that leadership must be strong and organization must be effective, that no merit is a fault and mediocrity is a mistake, and ensuring that one does not wave one's hand in the face of tasks, does not shrink back in the face of difficulties, goes all out and does not let go, and does not give up until things are done, can a good atmosphere of doing business and starting a business be formed at all levels.
At the same time, it should also be seen that the "leading goose" is not an "all-around goose," and "leading" is different from "taking over." The key for leading cadres to take the lead in performing their duties and responsibilities lies in accurately identifying their own positioning, clarifying the boundaries of their responsibilities, and giving full play to their leading, coordinating, and coordinating roles. It is necessary to establish a firm ambition to take responsibility, improve leadership methods, and set a good example, stimulate the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the people, and also reasonably authorize, so that suitable people can grow and become talents in suitable positions, and promote the formation of a situation where everyone gathers firewood and the flames are high, and works together to refuel. In this way, while being present in both body and mind, one can avoid falling into pragmatism, and truly shoulder responsibilities and gather strength.

The ocean is a strategic area for high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) attaches great importance to the development of the marine economy, pointing out that "promoting Chinese-style modernization must promote the high-quality development of the marine economy and embark on a path of strengthening the country through the ocean with Chinese characteristics" and "it is necessary to promote the realization of high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in marine science and technology, and strengthen original and leading scientific and technological breakthroughs." Innovation is the core engine for promoting the high-quality development of the marine economy. The sixth meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Commission (中央财经委员会) held in July this year emphasized: "To promote the high-quality development of the marine economy, we must pay more attention to innovation-driven development." To implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important speech and the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee (党中央), we must fully understand the important role of innovation-driven development in promoting the high-quality development of the marine economy, stimulate the innovation momentum of the marine economy with greater efforts and more practical measures, and support the high-quality development of China's (中国) marine economy.
The blue sea breeds unlimited opportunities, and the marine economy is one of the most dynamic growth poles in the future. The development of blue carbon sinks, the promotion of large-scale commercial application of marine energy, the cultivation of new forms of deep-sea tourism, and the expansion of smart ports and other emerging fields all depend on scientific and technological progress and innovation. Paying more attention to innovation-driven development, improving the independent innovation capability of marine science and technology, and striving to break through the technological bottlenecks that restrict the development of the marine economy and the protection of the marine ecology will help to firmly grasp the initiative in the high-quality development of the marine economy.
Innovation-driven development is the "key" to breaking through the tight constraints of resources and the environment. At present, there are many problems and challenges in ensuring marine space security. For example, the decline of offshore fishery resources, the aggravation of land-based pollution, and the squeeze of ecological space are becoming increasingly serious. Only by relying more on innovation-driven development, developing intelligent deep-sea aquaculture technology, developing efficient utilization equipment for marine renewable energy, breaking through the bottleneck of seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization, and building a three-dimensional monitoring and ecological restoration system for the marine environment, can we solve the dilemma of resource constraints and ecological degradation, open up a sustainable "blue granary" and "blue oil field," and realize the transformation and development of seeking space, benefits, and the future from the ocean.
Innovation-driven development is the core driving force for forging new competitive advantages in the marine industry. At present, the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, the game between major powers is developing in depth, and the global competition in marine science, technology, and industry is becoming increasingly fierce. Paying more attention to innovation-driven development, strengthening strategic marine science and technology forces, and mastering key core technologies are the only ways to grasp the initiative in the development of the marine economy and seize the commanding heights in high value-added fields such as high-end marine equipment manufacturing, marine biomedicine, and marine information services. At the same time, promoting the integration of technological breakthroughs and industrial innovation, such as promoting the integration of "marine ranch +" culture and tourism, and building a marine big data service platform, will promote China's (中国) marine industry to climb to the middle and high end of the value chain and win the right to speak and development opportunities in the fierce international competition.
Since the new era, the Party Central Committee (党中央) with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) as the core has attached great importance to and actively promoted the construction of a maritime power and the high-quality development of the marine economy, made a series of important decisions and deployments, promoted the continuous development of China's (中国) marine economy and made important progress. In 2024, the national marine gross product exceeded 10 trillion yuan. In terms of marine science and technology innovation, we have continuously increased investment, and major engineering and technological achievements such as "Jiaolong" (蛟龙) exploring the sea, "Xuelong" (雪龙) breaking the ice, and "Haidou" (海斗) deep diving have emerged. Seawater aquaculture technology, marine satellite observation, port automation, and other fields have reached or approached the world's advanced level. Marine fisheries, oil and gas, ships, engineering equipment manufacturing, and other industries are accelerating the pace of digital and high-end transformation and upgrading. These innovative achievements have injected new impetus into the high-quality development of the marine economy, promoted the continuous optimization of the marine industrial structure, and accelerated the expansion to the deep sea and strategic emerging industries.
At the same time, it should be noted that there are still some problems and shortcomings in China's (中国) marine economy in terms of innovation-driven development. The main problems are that the continuous increase in innovation investment is still insufficient in intensity; the initial establishment of the innovation system needs to be improved in efficiency; scientific and technological achievements are emerging, but the pain points of being "stuck in the neck" still exist; the rate of achievement transformation is low, and there are many industrialization bottlenecks; the talent structure is unbalanced, and there is a shortage of high-end talents; the innovation environment needs to be optimized, and the system and mechanism need to be broken through; and so on. To promote the high-quality development of the marine economy, we must implement the requirement of "paying more attention to innovation-driven development" in a down-to-earth manner, make precise efforts, and stimulate the innovation momentum of the marine economy with greater efforts and more practical measures.
First, we must strengthen top-level design and strategic guidance, accelerate the layout of major scientific and technological projects such as deep-sea and deep-sea exploration and resource development, and smart ocean, strengthen strategic marine science and technology forces, and cultivate and develop leading marine science and technology enterprises and specialized, refined, and new small and medium-sized enterprises; deepen the reform of the system and mechanism, and explore the "negative list + inclusive and prudent supervision" model. Second, we must tackle key core technologies, focus on tackling deep-sea exploration and operation technologies, high-end ships and marine engineering equipment, high-value utilization of marine biological resources, efficient conversion of marine renewable energy, and smart ocean technologies; accelerate the construction of national major science and technology infrastructure such as deep-sea comprehensive test sites, ultra-large marine environment simulation facilities, and marine biological germplasm resource banks. Third, we must promote the integrated development of marine education, science and technology, and talent, implement high-end talent introduction and cultivation programs, and highlight actual contributions in the reform of the talent evaluation mechanism; deepen the integration of industry and education, promote the docking of marine university disciplines with industrial needs, and develop professional degree education; and jointly build industrial colleges and practical training bases by universities and enterprises to cultivate technical and skilled personnel. Fourth, we must optimize the innovation ecosystem, guide and increase investment in scientific and technological innovation resources, and encourage social capital to invest in the marine economy; encourage the establishment of market-oriented marine industry investment funds and venture capital funds, and develop tools such as marine science and technology insurance, intellectual property pledge financing, and blue bonds; strengthen marine science popularization, promote the spirit of scientists, entrepreneurs, and craftsmen, optimize the marine talent development environment, and create an atmosphere of respecting knowledge and encouraging exploration.

Driving along the mountain road, after several turns, the altitude gradually increased, and the sky was gradually shaded by greenery.
Traveling to the hinterland of Xianfeng National Forest Park (仙峰国家森林公园) in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (延边朝鲜族自治州), Jilin Province (吉林省), walking on the wooden boardwalk, climbing hundreds of steps, and traversing through dense forests. After ten minutes or so, an ancient, vigorous, and upright Northeast China yew tree appeared before my eyes.
Looking up, the trunk was thick, the reddish-brown bark had shallow cracks, it was more than 10 meters high, and the branches and leaves were lush; looking down, the root system was well-developed, with intertwined roots deeply embedded in the earth. "According to calculations, this tree is about 1500 years old," said Ren Jialong (任家龙), a staff member of the Silviculture Department of the Bajiazi Forestry Co., Ltd. (八家子林业有限公司) of the Jilin Changbai Mountain Forest Industry Group (吉林长白山森工集团).
The Northeast China yew is an evergreen coniferous tree that grows slowly and has hard wood. It is a rare and endangered plant left over from the Quaternary glacial period. Yanbian (延边) is rich in forests and grasses and is one of the main distribution areas of the Northeast China yew. In Wangqing County (汪清县), Yanbian (延边), there is a Northeast China yew tree that is about 3,000 years old, vigorous and upright, with gnarled branches; in the forest area of Helong City (和龙市), a large natural community with Northeast China yew as the backbone tree species has been discovered, with Northeast China yew trees of various ages distributed...
Traversing wind, frost, snow, and rain, the ancient yew trees remain upright, which is inseparable from the local meticulous protection. Resource surveys, patrol management, scientific conservation, rescue and rejuvenation... As the base numbers gradually become clear, ancient trees receive more attention and care.
"Every autumn, among the green feather-like flat and slender leaves, there are many 'red fruits' hanging," said Ren Jialong (任家龙). In recent years, he has traveled to this forest many times, from flipping through picture albums to recognize trees, to following old forest rangers to protect trees, and now to participating in the rescue and rejuvenation of ancient trees. His feelings for these Northeast China yew trees in the dense forest have become deeper and deeper.
"Last year, we carried out rescue and rejuvenation work on two ancient Northeast China yew trees," Ren Jialong (任家龙) led the reporter to continue climbing up the mountain. Dozens of meters away, another Northeast China yew tree stood tall in the dense forest. The trunk of this tree has several reinforced hoops surrounding it, supporting its upward growth.
Taking a closer look, there are signs of cracks in the trunk. "When we found it, its growth condition was not good, and there was a risk of the trunk continuing to crack, so we quickly took measures to rescue it," said Ren Jialong (任家龙).
Habitat restoration, root promotion and rejuvenation, pest control, tree hole anti-corrosion repair, tree body support and reinforcement... The growth condition of this tree has been improved, and the branches and leaves are more luxuriant.
"In recent years, Jilin (吉林) has gradually included the discovered ancient and famous trees into the scope of protection, and is carrying out 'one tree, one file' coded management and implementing 'one tree, one sign' hanging protection throughout the province," introduced Zong Nianyi (踪念毅), deputy director of the Ecological Protection and Restoration Department of the Jilin Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau (吉林省林业和草原局). Currently, there are 1,502 ancient and famous Northeast China yew trees registered in Yanbian (延边).
Ancient trees are also playing a diverse value.
Scientifically planning the development of ecological tourism resources, Yanbian (延边) is creating Northeast China yew-related tourist attractions, building ancient tree boardwalks, rest stations, and viewing platforms to facilitate tourists to visit and experience the beauty of ancient trees up close. "This is the first time I have seen a Northeast China yew tree, and its posture is upright. I must come in late autumn next time to see the 'red beans' hanging all over the branches," said Yang Quansheng (杨全胜), a tourist from Shandong (山东) who drove to Yanbian (延边) and is already looking forward to meeting the ancient trees again next time.
Seed collection and plant propagation, Northeast China yew has been reborn in protection. In 2022, the Jilin Zengfengling National Nature Reserve (吉林甑峰岭国家级自然保护区), located in Yanbian (延边), began construction of a germplasm resource bank, and has now collected 103,500 Northeast China yew seeds and 2,136 spike strips for later breeding. Today, the reserve relies on scientific research institutions to carry out the breeding of improved varieties of Northeast China yew and the utilization and scientific research of specific germplasm.
Ancient trees are evergreen and thrive. Under the thousand-year-old Northeast China yew tree, two pots of Northeast China yew bonsai are growing well, and the ancient tree's majestic vigor and the bonsai's elegant atmosphere complement each other. "We look forward to these ancient trees growing healthily and continuing the legend of life," said Ren Jialong (任家龙).
Northeast China Yew
The Northeast China yew, also known as yew or red cypress, is a plant of the genus Taxus in the Taxaceae family. It is a national first-class key protected wild plant that grows slowly and has hard wood.
The Northeast China yew is mainly distributed in the cold and humid, acidic soil environment at an altitude of 500 meters to 1,000 meters in the Muling Mountains (老爷岭) and Zhangguangcai Mountains (张广才岭) of Jilin (吉林), and is often scattered in the forest.
Return to TopThis newspaper reports from Beijing on August 31st (Reporter Li Xinping (李心萍)) On August 31st, Jinan Rail Transit Line 4 started its unloaded trial operation and is expected to open and operate before the end of the year. As the first subway line in Jinan (济南), Shandong Province (山东省) close to the spring-sensitive area, with the closest distance to Baotu Spring (趵突泉) being only 1.4 kilometers, it successfully crosses the important recharge channel of the Baotu Spring (趵突泉) spring cluster, providing a solution for the construction of urban rail transit in global karst landform cities.
Jinan (济南) has intricate underground spring veins, and rail transit construction was once regarded as a "restricted area." The technical负责人 of the China Railway 14th Bureau (中铁十四局) project introduced that Jinan (济南) Rail Transit Line 4 adheres to "detouring, avoiding, raising," detouring the subway line around the spring-sensitive area, avoiding underground aquifers, and raising the buried depth of underground lines to eliminate the impact of underground buildings on the springs.
Taking Quancheng Park Station (泉城公园站), located directly south of Baotu Spring (趵突泉), as an example, the conventional subway station construction depth is 20 to 30 meters. In order to protect the springs, the construction team ultimately strictly controlled the maximum buried depth of the station within 15 meters, and the entire station was raised upward by 6 meters to minimize the impact on the recharge channel of the Baotu Spring (趵突泉) spring cluster.
Not only that, but during the construction process, the construction team also built a diversion channel system on both sides of the station and at the bottom of the foundation pit to reserve channels for the natural circulation of groundwater; and jointly developed new environmentally friendly materials such as water-rich stratum anti-dispersion synchronous grouting materials with universities to effectively avoid the impact of construction on the underground environment.

Tiaozini, is a mudflat wetland located in the Yellow Sea wetlands of Yancheng (盐城), Jiangsu (江苏). Here, the tide rises to become sea and recedes to become beach. It is located on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, one of the world's major migratory bird routes, and a large number of birds inhabit, breed, and overwinter here every year.
In the past, the bird habitat environment in Tiaozini Wetland faced two major impacts: one was the million-mu mudflat reclamation project launched by Jiangsu (江苏); and the other was the invasion of the alien species Spartina alterniflora, which grew rapidly in the nearshore mudflats, squeezing the living space of fish, shrimp, shellfish and other species. These factors changed the natural ecology of Tiaozini Wetland and affected the foraging and habitat environment of birds.
In 2018, Yancheng (盐城) expanded the scope of protection of the Yellow Sea wetlands, including Tiaozini Wetland in the World Natural Heritage nomination area, and stopped reclamation and development. In February 2019, Yancheng (盐城) officially established a municipal wetland park in Tiaozini (条子泥). In recent years, the management department has taken various measures to remove Spartina alterniflora, and the invaded mudflats have gradually returned to their original ecology, and the birds have flown back.
With so many birds, where do they land at high tide? Jin Juan (金娟), head of the Tiaozini Wetland (条子泥湿地) Operations Department, pointed to a pond outside the seawall: "They go to our '720'."
"720" is a pond adjacent to the seawall, covering an area of about 720 mu. This was originally a fish pond. Later, the management department returned the fish pond to wetland and built a high-tide bird habitat—on the basis of ecological restoration, different habitats such as deep-water areas, shallow-water areas, and bare beach areas were formed through water level control to meet the activity needs of various birds.
Jin Juan (金娟) came to work in Tiaozini Wetland (条子泥湿地) in 2020, and she can talk about "720" and the birds like a family treasure. "What is the preferred water level for waders? It is at their lower leg position. Tall waders like the Oriental White Stork prefer a deeper water level; smaller ones like the Black-faced Spoonbill and White Spoonbill need to have their activity area water level lowered; and the Spoon-billed Sandpiper is too small and can only be active in very shallow water." Jin Juan (金娟) said, "'720' is like a 'happy community' for birds, and they can always find a suitable water surface."
In addition to micro-topography modification mainly by adjusting the water level, the management department has also improved hardware facilities in "720" and strengthened intelligent management—installing high-definition cameras, AI bird recognition systems, and arranging full-time personnel for 24-hour management and protection... "720" is increasingly favored by birds, and the number of birds stopping here has increased year by year.
In recent years, the practice of "720" high-tide bird habitat has been widely recognized. The management department has successfully promoted the "720" construction experience in Chuanshuiwan (川水湾) coastal zone, Liangduo River Estuary (梁垛河口), Fangtang River Estuary (方塘河口) and other places, and the area of the birds' "happy community" is constantly expanding. Du Hua (杜骅), Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Dongtai (东台) Coastal Economic Zone, said that Tiaozini Wetland (条子泥湿地) will continue to adhere to scientific and precise protection to create a harmonious habitat for birds.
Return to TopFrom daytime street parades and sports events to nighttime square performances and Qifeng Lake (栖凤湖) tours, from the "Singing the Jialing River (嘉陵江)" mass singing event and the "People's Grand Stage, Show Your Talent" talent competition to family-friendly garden parties, circus carnivals, and the China (Guangyuan) International Dragon Boat Race (中国（广元）国际凤舟赛), the 2025 Guangyuan Women's Day (广元女儿节) and Happy Culture Week series of events present distinct characteristics of universal participation, day and night excitement, and the intertwining of international elements.
As a classic cultural IP with a 37-year history, the 2025 Guangyuan Women's Day (广元女儿节) and Happy Culture Week (欢乐文化周) adheres to the principle of "frugality, safety, excitement, and success," carefully planning more than 20 activities including themed events, street activities, artistic performances, and sports competitions, comprehensively showcasing Guangyuan's (广元) unique cultural charm and new achievements in high-quality development.
In recent years, the Guangyuan Municipal Party Committee (广元市委) and Municipal Government (市政府), focusing on the goal of "building a Grand Shudao (大蜀道) international cultural tourism destination and a health and wellness resort, and accelerating the creation of an international tourism city," have adhered to the principle of shaping tourism with culture and highlighting culture with tourism, deeply promoting the integrated development of culture and tourism, and continuously accelerating the pace of transforming cultural and tourism resource advantages into industrial advantages. From January to July this year, the city's 4A-level and above tourist attractions received 11.8232 million tourists, an increase of 22.80% year-on-year.
Accelerating the Integration of Culture and Tourism, the Comparative Advantage of Resources is More Prominent
Strolling through Guangyuan (广元), 16,858 ancient and famous trees stand silently, and the magnificent ancient Shudao (蜀道) with "three hundred miles connecting the sky, a uniform green" comes into view; entering the Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve (唐家河国家级自然保护区), which has been included in the first batch of the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Green List of Protected Areas, encountering wild animals such as takins and golden monkeys...
As the core corridor of the ancient Shudao (蜀道), an important node of the Thousand-Mile Jialing Tourism Scenic Road (千里嘉陵旅游风景道), and a key node of the Greater Jiuzhai Tourism Ring Road (大九寨旅游环线), Guangyuan (广元) is rich in cultural and tourism resources. Among them, Jianmen Shudao (剑门蜀道) is the key section of the Jinniu Road (金牛道), and Cuiyun Gallery (翠云廊) has the best-preserved ancient cypress forest planted on an ancient post road.
Guangyuan (广元) is located in the geometric center of the four major cities of Chengdu (成都), Chongqing (重庆), Xi'an (西安), and Lanzhou (兰州). Twenty air routes reach all parts of the country, and there are nearly 300 daily high-speed train services. Its location and transportation advantages are obvious, and it is accelerating the construction of a national comprehensive transportation hub and an important northern gateway hub in the Chengdu-Chongqing region.

From August 28th to 30th, the 2025 China International Big Data Industry Expo will be held in Guiyang (贵阳), Guizhou Province (贵州省). The Big Data Expo marks a 10-year milestone, witnessing a new pattern in the digital economy landscape of Guiyang and the Gui'an New Area (贵安新区) (hereinafter referred to as "Guiyang Gui'an (贵阳贵安)")—Guiyang Gui'an is no longer just a data storage warehouse, but a comprehensive digital ecosystem integrating computing power supply, industrial empowerment, and scenario innovation, promoting the city's overall digital transformation.
Over the past 10 years, through the in-depth implementation of the "Digital Vitality City" strategy, focusing on three key elements: "computing power, empowerment, and industry," Guiyang Gui'an has accelerated the construction of a computing power system, promoted the transformation and upgrading of big data empowerment, outlined a blueprint for digital economic development, and led the big data industry in the province to grow vigorously.
Consolidating the Digital Foundation
Building a Smart Computing Highland
More than 10 years ago, Guiyang Gui'an began to lay out the construction of data centers. Stable geology, reliable power supply, and low average temperature... Natural advantages have attracted the concentration of data centers of the three major operators.
Gui'an New Area has flat terrain, an average annual temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, and an excellent air quality rate of 99.5%. It is a natural air conditioner and oxygen bar. Its PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) value is lower than 1.2, which is at the leading level of green data centers in China, with low comprehensive energy consumption and long equipment life.
What is the relationship between data centers and computing power? "Data centers are the carriers of computing power. By equipping different servers, graphics cards, and other hardware devices, they form powerful computing capabilities and large-scale data processing capabilities to meet the application scenarios of high-performance computing," said Peng Benqian (彭本黔), Director of the Comprehensive Department of Gui'an New Area Science and Technology Innovation Industry Development Co., Ltd. (贵安新区科创产业发展有限公司).
"Smart computing" is the basic foundation for the development of artificial intelligence. Guiyang Gui'an seized the opportunity to promote the transformation of data centers from storage centers to integrated storage and computing, and accelerate the cultivation of new quality productive forces represented by intelligent computing power.
At the end of 2020, Guizhou Province's first supercomputing center, the Gui'an Supercomputing Center (贵安超级计算中心), was built and put into operation, and Gui'an Science and Technology Innovation Company (贵安科创公司) is responsible for its operation. "We have more than 700 servers, and the peak computing power has reached 300 quadrillion times per second," Peng Benqian said. Since 2023, the Gui'an Supercomputing Center has cumulatively transported tens of millions of card-hours of computing power to Guangdong (广东), Shanghai (上海), and other places.
Computing power is the foundation of the digital economy. Guizhou (贵州) has 49 key data centers under construction and in operation, and the proportion of intelligent computing, the rate of domestic production, and the degree of regional concentration all exceed 90%.
It is reported that Guizhou has achieved direct network connection with 42 cities including Beijing (北京), Shanghai, Guangzhou (广州), and Shenzhen (深圳), and has created a multi-layer delay circle. The one-way delay within the province is 3 milliseconds, to Chengdu (成都) and Chongqing (重庆) is 6 milliseconds, to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is 10 milliseconds, to the Yangtze River Delta is 16 milliseconds, and to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is 18 milliseconds, which can meet the needs of most "Eastern Data and Western Computing" businesses.
Developing the Digital Economy
Cultivating the Industrial Ecology
On May 29 this year, Guizhou Province's first data development and utilization processing base was unveiled and put into operation. It is a data element innovation base integrating public data authorization operation space, data product development and utilization, industry-education integration, and industrial ecology cultivation.
Zhu Zongyao (朱宗尧), Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Guizhou Provincial Big Data Development Administration (贵州省大数据发展管理局), introduced that the base has formed a production operation and management team of more than 80 people, and has carried out in-depth cooperation and docking with 27 companies including Baidu (百度). Only two months after the opening of the park, the base has completed the research and development of a data labeling technology platform, the construction of core production technical specifications and management systems, and completed the labeling and governance of more than 150,000 frames of video and more than 10,000 copies of file data, and orders with an output value of more than 5 million yuan are in production and delivery.
Gaozhai Village (高寨村), Zhuchang Town (朱昌镇), Guanshanhu District (观山湖区), Guiyang City (贵阳市), has both cultural heritage and ecological advantages. In order to accelerate the construction of digital villages, Guanshanhu District takes Gaozhai Village as the main physical space carrier to build and operate Xiaolanshan Digital Culture Industry Ecological Village (小兰山数字文化产业生态村落). Through the construction of rural digital cultural industry infrastructure, it accelerates the integration of cultural resources and the digital cultural industry, solves the problems restricting rural development such as the urban-rural digital divide, and further creates a new format for the integrated development of "rural + culture + digital + industry."
As of the end of 2024, 18 companies have registered and settled in Xiaolanshan Digital Culture Industry Ecological Village, with an annual output value of more than 30.4 million yuan. Wu Zhuoheng (吴卓恒), the head of a new media studio stationed in Xiaolanshan, said: "What attracts me to Xiaolanshan is not only the good ecological environment, but also the substantial support policies and innovative mechanisms. It is an ideal place for creating and incubating projects."
Guiyang Gui'an is focusing on the two major industries of electronic information manufacturing and software information technology service industry, and continues to promote the clustered development of server manufacturing, intelligent terminal manufacturing, cloud services, and other industries, and has initially built a digital industry cluster with national competitiveness, realizing the qualitative change of the digital industry from scratch and from point to chain. In 2024, the output value of Guiyang Gui'an's electronic information manufacturing industry reached 31.497 billion yuan, an increase of 24.9% year-on-year; the revenue of Internet and related services, software and information technology service industries above designated size reached 81.861 billion yuan, an increase of 23.3% year-on-year.
Enriching Application Scenarios
Lighting up a Better Life
In recent years, Guiyang Gui'an has continued to promote digital transformation, allowing citizens to feel the convenience brought by digital technology.
"You can scan the code to take the bus with the bus cloud card in the Guizhou Tong APP (贵州通APP)," said Lin Liang (林亮), a citizen, praising smart travel at the Shifeng Road (狮峰路) bus stop in Guiyang City recently.
In addition to scanning the code to take the bus, you can also swipe your face to enter the station when taking rail transit in Guiyang. In June 2020, the first phase of the "Face Travel Guiyang (脸行贵阳)" project, which was a key project built by Guiyang City, was launched. Since then, citizens can swipe their faces to pass through various stations by simply completing registration and authentication on their mobile phones when taking rail transit and BRT (Bus Rapid Transit).
"The accounts are clear and reimbursement is convenient." The "5G+ Smart Healthcare" project developed by Guizhou Jiuyuan Yinhai Software Co., Ltd. (贵州久远银海软件有限公司) realizes "one-stop" settlement of medical insurance payments through face recognition technology, improves medical efficiency, and provides convenient services for about 30,000 medical institutions and more than 38 million people in the province.
"Swipe your ID card, look at the camera..." At the traffic management window of the Guiyang Yunyan District (云岩区) Government Service Hall, accompanied by voice prompts, drivers can complete the physical examination through the 5G self-service physical examination machine in just 5 minutes, and then go to the window to apply for a driver's license renewal, which takes less than 8 minutes in total.
At the grassroots governance level, digital empowerment is also being promoted. In Bihai Community (碧海社区), Guanshanhu District, Guiyang City, grid member Chen Kexi (陈柯汐) uses the data platform to carry out her work every day. When encountering problems such as fire safety, gas safety, and food safety, she can report them to the relevant functional departments with one click by simply taking photos, positioning, and briefly describing them.
Guiyang Gui'an coordinates the implementation of digital scenario construction actions, establishes a municipal leadership-led mechanism and a scenario opening mechanism, regularly releases data scenario lists, holds data innovation competitions, creates a number of typical application scenarios, and makes every effort to promote data empowerment and activate urban resource elements.
"Deepening the construction of smart cities and promoting the city's overall digital transformation are inevitable requirements for promoting the modernization of the urban governance system and governance capabilities, and are also key measures to promote the innovative development of the digital economy," said Wang Hong (王宏), Deputy Secretary of the Guiyang Municipal Party Committee and Mayor. Guiyang Gui'an resolutely shoulders the experimental responsibility of the core area of the comprehensive data element pilot zone, takes the market-oriented allocation reform of data elements as the main line, promotes the city's overall digital transformation, and fully stimulates the multiplier effect of data elements on urban value creation.

The theme of this year's Digital Expo is "Gathering Digital Industrial Momentum, Enabling a New Chapter of Intelligent Development," highlighting internationalization, specialization, and industrialization. It features professional exhibitions, industry exchanges, industry competitions, and other activities, showcasing a batch of new technologies, new products, new solutions, and new applications in the field of digital economy.
Since its first held in 2015, the Digital Expo has become an international platform in China's data field that leads innovation trends, showcases industry achievements, and promotes open cooperation. Guizhou has taken this opportunity to adhere to the coordinated linkage of computing power, data, applications, and industries, and is committed to building an innovative zone for digital economic development.
Deeply cultivating computing power, continuous emergence of achievements
Three new machine buildings, 4,500 racks delivered and put into use - in Gui'an New District (贵安新区), as the first data center to start construction and operation in the local area, China Telecom Cloud Computing Guizhou Information Park is running at an accelerated pace of computing power development.
Guizhou's achievements in deeply cultivating computing power continue to emerge: the first 400G computing power channel has been built and can directly connect 42 cities; it provides cloud rendering computing power services for more than 50 countries and regions and more than 200,000 users.
"The province focuses on 'computing power + industry,' vigorously promotes 'Eastern Data and Western Computing,' and actively builds a computing power security base for the whole country," said Zhu Zongyao (朱宗尧), Party Secretary and Director of the Guizhou Provincial Big Data Development Administration.
The surging computing power cannot be separated from reliable energy security. According to statistics from China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Power Grid Co., Ltd., from January to July this year, the power consumption of the Gui'an New District (贵安新区) data center cluster was 1.417 billion kWh, an increase of 54.18% year-on-year. In order to match the increasing demand for electricity, Gui'an Power Supply Bureau has laid out an energy security system in advance, building one 220 kV substation, four 110 kV substations, and 130 10 kV lines for special supply, forming a safe and reliable power supply network.
Cooperation and win-win, release data value
In a breeding farm in Wengan County (瓮安县), Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (黔南布依族苗族自治州), each cow has a yellow ear tag. This is equivalent to the cow's electronic "identity card" and is the key to cattle mortgage loans.
"Each ear tag has a unique code. Through IoT sensing equipment, it captures real-time data such as the body temperature and exercise volume of the cattle, and then transmits it to the ecological animal husbandry digital economy operation and management platform of Guizhou Dongcai Supply Chain Technology Co., Ltd. in Guanshanhu District (观山湖区), Guiyang City (贵阳市)," said Zhang Zhonghua (张忠华), chief operating officer of Dongcai Company.
Through the matchmaking of Guiyang Big Data Exchange, Guiyang Rural Commercial Bank reached cooperation with Dongcai Company. Relying on the massive amount of breeding data provided by Dongcai Company, Guiyang Rural Commercial Bank launched a service model of "loan by cow, supervision by cow, and repayment by cow," realizing live mortgage financing and solving funding problems.
Taking the construction of a national data factor comprehensive pilot zone as an opportunity, Guizhou focuses on the key links of market-oriented allocation reform of data factors, strengthens supply, and releases data value. On the one hand, the local government explores the data circulation system through the Guiyang Big Data Exchange to guide and regulate on-site transactions; on the other hand, relying on the Guizhou Provincial Public Data Service Platform, it builds a public data resource registration module to accumulate experience for the interconnection of national data resources.
Digital and intelligent upgrade, adding development momentum
In the ground control room of a mine in Guizhou Phosphate Group, technicians gently tap their fingertips, and the intelligent equipment underground quickly executes instructions, accurately pouring filling aggregates and gelling materials into the mine pit. The monitoring and early warning system monitors the work process in real time to ensure the quality of the filling body and engineering safety.
"Thanks to the integrated application of sensor technology, intelligent control algorithms, etc., the filling system has been intelligently upgraded, which can greatly reduce the labor burden, improve work efficiency, and ensure safe production," said Yang Linfang (杨林方), station manager of the mine filling station.
Guizhou is rich in mineral resources, and the reserves of 49 kinds of mineral resources rank among the top ten in the country. In order to ensure safe production, the Guizhou Bureau of the National Mine Safety Supervision Administration has deployed and launched the "Mine Data Guardian" system, using 18 kinds of artificial intelligence algorithms to detect and analyze potential risks in real time, providing decision support for mine safety management.
In recent years, Guizhou has deeply implemented the "Thousand Enterprises Transformation" project and the "Ten Thousand Enterprises Integration" action, driving a large number of traditional enterprises to achieve digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading, and has successively created a number of high-level and high-standard integration benchmark demonstration projects, promoting the digital transformation and upgrading of the industry, and adding momentum to the high-quality development of industry.

As a village-level river chief in Nanming District (南明区), Guiyang City (贵阳市), Guizhou Province (贵州省), Gong Tao (龚涛) is accustomed to opening the "Smart Water Guiyang (智水贵阳)" APP before inspecting the river, recording the actual situation of the inspection. "In the past, when problems such as sewage entering the river and random dumping were discovered, it was necessary to write a clear description of the situation and report it level by level. The process was cumbersome and it was easy to miss the best time for disposal," said Gong Tao (龚涛). Now, through the APP, the Guiyang Gui'an River Chief System Office (贵阳贵安河长制办公室) can receive the actual situation of the problem and promptly assign professional personnel to the site for disposal, which is convenient and efficient.
Since 2016, the Guiyang Municipal Bureau of Water Affairs (贵阳市水务局) and other departments have jointly explored the construction of information systems for flood and drought disasters, water quality testing, etc. Later, in accordance with the unified data, unified map, unified user, and unified portal methods, they interconnected with the Guizhou Provincial Department of Water Resources (贵州省水利厅) Water Resources Data Center, integrating business data such as water ecology, water resources, and water safety, and developed the new "Smart Water Guiyang (智水贵阳)" system to achieve collaborative water management.
Every flood season, facing rainfall, water conditions, and disaster situations, how can we monitor in real time and respond quickly?
The Guizhou Provincial Department of Emergency Management (贵州省应急管理厅) has been exploring the value of data elements, vigorously promoting the deep integration of big data and emergency management, and promoting the modernization of the emergency management system and capabilities through digital intelligence empowerment. "The Emergency Command Center is connected to the Guizhou Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Situation Analysis System, the Geological Disaster Real-time Monitoring and Early Warning System, and the Safety Accident Hazard Investigation and Management System. It uses big data and artificial intelligence technology to achieve large-scale rapid early warning and scenario visualization, and continuously improve emergency response capabilities," said Teng Weihua (滕伟华), Party Secretary and Director of the Guizhou Provincial Department of Emergency Management (贵州省应急管理厅党委书记、厅长).
Focusing on multiple uses, Guizhou (贵州) adheres to the coordinated linkage of computing power, data, applications, and industries, deepens the digital intelligence empowerment to lead and support the "three major transformations" of social governance, life services, and industrial upgrading, and better empowers thousands of industries and serves thousands of households.

For Guizhou, strengthening and optimizing the digital economy means computing power is an advantage, and electricity is the foundation.
How should computing power and electricity coordinate and develop? In January of this year, the "Key Points of Work for Guizhou Province to Build a Digital Economy Development Innovation Zone in 2025" was issued, proposing to carry out computing-electricity synergy pilots, promote computing-network collaborative innovation and development, implement network infrastructure upgrade projects, participate in the construction of a national integrated computing power network, and shape the Guizhou computing power brand.
"We break down each intelligent computing task into multiple operators. Different operators correspond to different power consumption, so we can calculate the power consumption of each intelligent computing task," said Sa Xingjie (撒兴杰), Deputy General Manager of the Operation and Maintenance Department of the Information Center of China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Power Grid Company. The "Computing Power-Electricity Mapping Model" developed by the company reveals the basic mapping law of computing power and electricity synergy, builds a bridge for the conversion between the two, and helps Guizhou strengthen the multi-energy complementation of computing power clusters and the scheduling of computing power networks.
"After predicting the power demand corresponding to intelligent computing tasks in advance, we update the listed electricity prices for different time periods every day, so that computing power operation enterprises can adjust computing power quotations and computing power server load in a timely manner, so as to minimize computing power costs." Zhu Gangyi (朱刚毅), General Manager of the Transaction Organization Department of Guizhou Power Exchange Center, believes that in this model, computing power users can also effectively save costs and reduce the threshold for computing power use, which is conducive to improving the activity of the computing power market.
Implementing DC power supply technology transformation for data centers, improving power supply capacity, and reducing power loss; carrying out demonstration construction of shared backup power, adding another layer of insurance to the "dual-loop" power supply of data centers... Through continuous exploration and innovation, Guizhou Power Grid Company is gradually forming a new model in which electricity and computing power support each other and develop in a coordinated manner.

Just register an account and you can receive gifts such as eggs... This type of activity attracts many elderly people to participate, but behind it lies unknown data risks. As a big data enterprise, Guizhou DataBao Network Technology Co., Ltd. innovatively researches and develops encryption authentication technology, and is committed to cutting off the black industry chain.
"Service providers cannot directly authenticate personal data, but need an 'intermediary' like us to ensure data security," introduced Yang Guangying, partner of DataBao Company. Taking face recognition as an example, after the user uploads information, the information will be automatically generated into code in the background and then encrypted for transmission, and compared with the face code of the data holder. Within 500 milliseconds, the system can quickly identify the authenticity.
From preventing personal information leakage to building a national-level data security pilot, in the wave of digital economic development, Guiyang City (贵阳市) and Gui'an New Area (贵安新区) have built solid data security protection networks through technological innovation and institutional innovation.
Ensuring data security requires ensuring the security of data centers. Gui'an New Area (贵安新区) has a stable geological structure and is not prone to natural disasters such as collapse and mudslides. Guizhou (贵州) has formed a power guarantee pattern that combines "hydropower, wind power, and solar power," which can provide sufficient and sustainable power guarantee for data centers. In addition, data center operating companies invest annual budgets for security work.
"We are focusing on promoting the construction of Guiyang Big Data Security Industrial Park (贵阳大数据安全产业园), building a big data security target range, and have organized and carried out seven network security incident emergency plan drills and Guiyang Big Data and Network Security Attack and Defense Drills," said Wang Hong (王宏), Deputy Secretary of the Guiyang Municipal Party Committee (贵阳市委) and Mayor (市长). He added that they will continue to carry out services such as attack and defense drills, testing and evaluation, teaching and training, and scientific research and innovation to promote the upgrade of drills and safeguard the network security of digital cities.

The surging Dongjiang River, the majestic Dalingshan Mountain.
Ascending the stone steps amidst the lush vegetation, entering the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall (广东东江纵队纪念馆) in Dongguan (东莞), Guangdong (广东), the solemn theme sculpture "Dongjiang Iron Flow, Southern Guangdong Banner" (东江铁流 南粤旌旗) stands before you, inspiring awe.
More than 450 pieces (sets) of cultural relics and more than 800 historical pictures silently tell the heroic story of the Dongjiang Column (东江纵队), the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force (广东人民抗日游击队) led by the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) during the Anti-Japanese War, far away from the main force, isolated behind enemy lines, closely relying on the masses, and adhering to independent guerrilla warfare.
Dongjiang Iron Flow Forged with Blood and Flesh
"We are the guerrillas of the Guangdong people, we are the brothers of the Eighth Route Army (八路军) and the New Fourth Army (新四军), our troops gallop on the Dongjiang battlefield, working hard, bravely killing the enemy, and achieving brilliant victories..." Wei Jianglong (韦江龙), an audience member from Guangxi (广西), stepped into the preface hall of the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall, and the lyrics of "The Song of the Dongjiang Column" (《东江纵队之歌》) engraved on the wall were passionate and inspiring, immediately making him feel excited and full of energy.
In the theme sculpture in the center of the preface hall, some people are holding guns, some are holding flags, and some are clenching their fists.
"Who are they?" someone in the audience asked.
"'Scholars carrying guns' is a major characteristic of the Dongjiang Column. Early leaders of the Dongjiang Column, such as Zeng Sheng (曾生) and Wang Zuoyao (王作尧), were all college students. In the team, in addition to college students and high school students, there were also students studying abroad, with a relatively high level of education." The narrator Chen Meng (陈梦) replied, "The sculpture represents the distinct characteristics of the Dongjiang Column, such as many intellectuals, many Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, many returned overseas Chinese, and many female soldiers."
In October 1938, the Japanese army occupied the counties in the lower reaches of the Dongjiang River in Guangdong. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, Zeng Sheng (曾生), the secretary of the Hong Kong Seamen's Committee of the Communist Party of China who graduated from Sun Yat-sen University (中山大学), returned to the Pingshan (坪山) area of Huiyang County (惠阳县) (now Bao'an District (宝安区), Shenzhen (深圳)) to organize anti-Japanese armed forces. In January 1939, the Dongbao Hui Bian People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade (东宝惠边人民抗日游击大队) was established. Based on this, after several reorganizations and expansions, in December 1943, the Dongjiang Column (东江纵队) was officially established, with Zeng Sheng (曾生) as the commander.
Women do not give way to men. In the Dongjiang Column, there were more than 1,000 female soldiers. Some of them were once spirited female students, and some were women who revolved around the stove... Although their fates were different, their love for the country was the same. At the time of national crisis, they resolutely picked up their guns and went to the battlefield.
Li Yuzhen (李玉珍) once learned her skills in a circus in Hong Kong. In 1938, she followed the "Dongjiang Overseas Chinese Return Home Service Group" (东江华侨回乡服务团) to Pingshan (坪山), Huiyang (惠阳) to participate in the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force, and soon joined the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and became a health worker in the company.
On November 19, 1943, the Japanese army launched a "Wanren Dasao Dang" (万人大扫荡) (large-scale mopping-up operation) against Dalingshan (大岭山). When Li Yuzhen (李玉珍) rescued 7 wounded soldiers from the front line, her left thigh was hit by a bullet. She used the acrobatic skills she had learned in the circus to climb the tree trunks in the steep wall with her bare hands, allowing the wounded soldiers to grab her right leg and slide down the mountain pit to hide, successfully evading the enemy's "mopping-up." After experiencing the tempering of war, Li Yuzhen (李玉珍) grew from a health worker to the first female company commander of the Dongjiang Column.
In October 1940, the Third Detachment of the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force (广东人民抗日游击队), one of the predecessors of the Dongjiang Column, advanced into Dalingshan (大岭山) and opened up an anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines.
In the display case, the bolt and dust cover of the Japanese Type 38 rifle witnessed the famous Baihuadong Battle (百花洞战斗). In June 1941, more than 400 Japanese troops raided Baihuadong Village (百花洞村), Dalingshan (大岭山) at night. The Third Detachment grasped the intelligence in advance and quickly occupied favorable terrain on the surrounding highlands. The masses waved flags and shouted in the distance, and even set off firecrackers in buckets to imitate the sound of machine guns to confuse the enemy.
"This battle besieged the enemy for two days and one night, and was called 'the most embarrassing battle' since the Japanese army entered South China, but it was one of the most shining victories in the history of the Dongjiang Column," said Wang Hongxing (王红星), curator of the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall.
"Our school was originally called Baihuadong Primary School (百花洞小学), which was built on the site of the 'Baihuadong Battle'," said Shi Xujin (石旭进), a student from Dalingshan Town (大岭山镇) First Primary School (第一小学) in Dongguan (东莞), proudly. Looking at the campus again, he understood the deep meaning of every inch of soil under his feet.
According to incomplete statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Dongjiang Column fought more than 1,400 times, annihilating more than 9,000 Japanese and puppet troops, and more than 2,500 commanders and fighters died heroically.
"The Dongjiang Column was isolated behind enemy lines. The most critical factor for its ability to grow from small to large, from weak to strong, and gradually develop into an anti-Japanese force in a difficult environment is the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China," said Wang Hongxing (王红星).
Closely Unite into a Copper Wall and Iron Wall of Anti-Japanese Resistance
Dongguan (东莞) and the Dongbao Hui area are adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, and close to Southeast Asia, with a special geographical location.
During the Anti-Japanese War, under the correct leadership of the Party, the Dongjiang Column closely united patriotic overseas Chinese, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, and united all anti-Japanese patriotic forces, forming a strong anti-Japanese national united front.
In difficult times, overseas Chinese came - teachers from Singapore, businessmen from Malaysia, doctors from Thailand, bringing medicines, radios, and even weapons from overseas.
Zhong Ruochao (钟若潮) and Wang Li (王丽), a couple of overseas Chinese from Thailand who had just been married for 3 days, resolutely decided to return to China to join the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force (广东人民抗日游击队). In the battle, they died heroically one after another. "Like them, many combat heroes in the Dongjiang Column were compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao and overseas Chinese," said Wang Hongxing (王红星).
Li Shuhuan (李淑桓), who taught in Hong Kong, sent 7 of her children to the anti-Japanese troops led by the Communist Party, and she also came to Dalingshan (大岭山), using her identity as a teacher as a cover to engage in transportation and intelligence work.
At the troop's consolation meeting, Li Shuhuan (李淑桓) firmly said with her children: "Everyone is responsible for resisting Japan. My eldest son went to Yan'an (延安) to join the Eighth Route Army (八路军), my third son is doing anti-Japanese national salvation work in Hong Kong, and the rest are here. My youngest son is 9 years old, and I will send him to join the army when he grows up."
Many visitors were moved to tears when they heard this.
Zeng Sheng (曾生) recalled in an article, "The vast number of overseas Chinese and Hong Kong and Macao compatriots not only strongly supported us spiritually and financially, but also sent their children back to participate in our anti-Japanese guerrilla force. More than 1,000 children of overseas Chinese and patriotic youths from Hong Kong and Macao returned to participate in the guerrilla force, making great contributions to the establishment and development of the troops."
In a corner of the exhibition hall, a large light box emits a faint light, and black shadows shuttle through the night, vividly showing the history of the "Cultural Rescue."
Chen Meng (陈梦) said that after the fall of Hong Kong in 1941, the Japanese army wantonly searched and arrested patriotic democrats and celebrities in the cultural circles who were stranded in Hong Kong. The Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force (广东人民抗日游击队) resolutely implemented the instructions of the Southern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee (中共中央南方局), overcame all difficulties, and rescued more than 800 well-known figures in the cultural circles and patriotic democrats, including He Xiangning (何香凝), Zou Taofen (邹韬奋), and Mao Dun (茅盾), and transferred them to safe areas in the rear.
"That day, we arrived at the top of Meilin'ao (梅林坳) early to wait," Chen Ying (陈英), a veteran of the Dongjiang Column, wrote in an article recalling the scene at the time. "When it was almost noon, some black spots appeared in the distance. We finally waited!"
In order to bring some warmth to the cultural figures, the guerrillas prepared a dinner with meat for everyone. Mao Dun (茅盾) recalled in "Notes on Escaping Danger": "This dinner was really enjoyable. Although there was only one meat dish and one vegetarian dish, I felt it was better than any delicacies, and I will never forget it."
Zhu Junchi (朱骏驰), a student from Chang'an Town (长安镇), Dongguan (东莞), said: "These rescued cultural figures are not holding luggage in their arms, but the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation."
In the exhibition, a U.S. military pilot's uniform attracted the audience to stop.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Dongjiang Column launched extensive cooperation with the Allied forces. In February 1944, the U.S. 14th Air Force (美军第十四航空队) dispatched more than 30 bombers and escort fighters to bomb Kai Tak Airport (启德机场) occupied by the Japanese army.
Tang Lin (唐琳), deputy curator of the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall, said: "In this air battle, Lieutenant Donald Kerr (唐纳德·克尔), a pilot, was shot down by the Japanese army and caught fire. Kerr abandoned the plane and parachuted with injuries, landing in the Kowloon (九龙) mountainous area."
Under the rescue and cover of the Hong Kong Kowloon Brigade (港九大队), Kerr was safely sent to the headquarters of the Dongjiang Column. In mid-March, Kerr safely returned to the Guilin (桂林) base of the 14th Air Force.
Tang Lin (唐琳) said that in 2009, Kerr's son made a special trip to the Guangdong Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall to visit and donated the U.S. military pilot's uniform and photos taken by Kerr when he fought in China that year to the memorial hall, hoping that the friendship between the Chinese and American people would last forever.
The Red Spirit Lives on in the Land of Dongguan
"Among so many photos, there is a face that makes it difficult for me to look away. The boy in the photo is Ji Wanfang (季万方), who is only 15 years old." Ai Yuxi (艾雨熙), a student from Chang'an Town (长安镇), Dongguan (东莞), said, "He went to the anti-Japanese battlefield at an age similar to mine, which is worthy of admiration."
Wang Hongxing (王红星) said that the revolutionary history of the Dongjiang Column and its predecessor is a period of history that is always worth remembering, and it is also a good teaching material for carrying out patriotic education. "Our memorial hall has been carrying out the 'Dongzong Little Warrior' (东纵小战士) education activity since 2006, and more than 10,000 students have participated so far."
On August 22, a new batch of "Dongzong Little Warriors" composed of primary school students from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao started a semi-militarized "barracks" experience here, better remembering history, cherishing the memory of martyrs, and continuing the red blood through basic training and actual combat exercises.
The memorial hall adopts the "exhibition hall situational teaching" model, and the teachers move the content of the Anti-Japanese War in the textbooks into the exhibition hall. At the old site of the Dajia Tuanjie Newspaper (大家团结报社) in the Dalingshan Anti-Japanese Base Area (大岭山抗日根据地), the students put on old clothes, learn to "listen to telegrams," and use physics, mathematics and other knowledge to crack the secret room mechanism.
The Dongjiang Column also left many moving revolutionary stories in Huizhou (惠州). Today, a Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall is also built in Huizhou. Yin Xiaoping (尹小平), the daughter of Yin Linping (尹林平), the former political commissar of the Dongjiang Column, said that the revolutionary history of the Dongjiang Column is a red cultural brand worthy of key development. "Huizhou must inherit the red gene and sow red seeds for our next generation."
The relevant person in charge of the Huizhou Dongjiang Column Memorial Hall introduced that the memorial hall continues to carry out a series of activities, including the "'Eternal Memory' Message Wall," "Theme Handicraft Workshop," and "'Fairy Tale History' Hand-copied Newspaper Collection," so that the red gene can permeate people's hearts in diverse activities, allowing more people to appreciate the weight and greatness of the history of the Anti-Japanese War.
"Faced with such rich red resources, we have been thinking about what we can bring to the children?" In the view of Li Liyun (黎丽云), a teaching and research staff member at the Education Management Center of Dalingshan Town (大岭山镇), Dongguan (东莞), when students set foot on the land where the Dongjiang Column once fought, listen to wonderful explanations, and touch the many bullet marks, history is no longer just the words in the textbook. They understand in experience, identify in thinking, and bury the seeds of faith. "We expect these seeds to grow into towering trees, so that the red spirit can live on and be passed on from generation to generation in the land of Dongguan."

What kind of sparks will fly when ancient intangible cultural heritage collides with modern technology?
Lifting the curtain, one seems to stand on the streets of an ancient town. "Da Tiehua" (打铁花) blooms in the air, "fireworks" are colorful, and the grand scene of the New Year festival unfolds before your eyes. Tapping the drum surface activates the Yingge dancers in the screen. As the rhythm changes, the dance postures change in thousands of ways. Lightly holding the shadow rod, you can control the shadow puppets at close range. The viewer becomes the performer, personally directing a "Dragon Palace Journey"...
At the 2025 "Xinjiang is a Good Place" (新疆是个好地方) Intangible Cultural Heritage Assistance to Xinjiang (援疆) themed exhibition held recently, the story of intangible cultural heritage has been updated and the emotional value has been maximized due to the blessing of technology. The novel experience made the audience exclaim "fantastic" and "incredible."
The practice of "intangible cultural heritage + technology" is gradually entering the lives of the public. Online, there are countless creative videos that use artificial intelligence generation technology, motion capture and other technologies to make intangible cultural heritage "cool" and "dazzling." What are the magical features of the kiln transformation of porcelain? What is the mystery of double-sided embroidery? How is the flashing and moving of shadow puppets realized? Creative videos can show all of these, allowing the audience to "see through" the magical changes in porcelain making, "explore" the stitches of embroidery, and understand the ingenuity of shadow puppeteers... The cultural concepts, craftsmanship, and aesthetic values contained in intangible cultural heritage are more intuitive, specific, and deeply rooted in people's hearts.
China's intangible cultural heritage is rich and colorful, condensing the skills, experience and wisdom of the masses in production and life. In the past, there were not a few people who thought that intangible cultural heritage was "**又老又土**" (yòu lǎo yòu tǔ - "old and rustic," outdated and unfashionable), and even more people only saw its form but not its spirit. Nowadays, whether online or offline, the development of new technologies such as 3D modeling, holographic projection, AI, and AR has made intangible cultural heritage more popular and meaningful. On the one hand, it endows traditional culture with a visually impactful surreal expression, which is especially appealing to young people; on the other hand, it vividly highlights the time accumulation, spiritual temperament and labor wisdom behind intangible cultural heritage, becoming a window for people to understand the Chinese traditional worldview, social outlook and moral values.
Intangible cultural heritage skills are professional and complex, and technology empowerment can simplify complexity and refine its charm. "In the past, we could only see the real objects of silk patterns. Now we can 'create' them ourselves, and we have discovered that the patterns designed by our ancestors contain so many scientific laws and beautiful meanings." Many young people said after experiencing the AI model of traditional silk weaving techniques. It turns out that just by inputting a hand-drawn picture, the AI small model can instantly generate silk patterns. The traditional cloud and thunder patterns and twining lotus patterns on the screen produce gradual changes, splicing and other modern designs under the "stippling" of digital technology.
The game-like experience allows the audience to understand the inside story while watching the excitement, and deeply understand its value in the process of gaining fun. Furthermore, the encounter between technology and intangible cultural heritage lowers the threshold for ordinary people to participate in the creation of intangible cultural heritage, allowing more people, especially young people, to have more opportunities to enter the "garden" of outstanding Chinese traditional culture and have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery.
The massive information content contained in intangible cultural heritage such as folk literature, traditional music, traditional dance, traditional fine arts, traditional drama, and traditional skills is the basic resource and high-quality data for promoting scientific and technological progress. As of now, China has nearly 870,000 intangible cultural heritage resources, more than 100,000 representative projects of intangible cultural heritage at all levels, and more than 90,000 representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage at four levels... Properly protecting and collecting data on wonderful texts, beautiful notes, colorful paintings, wonderful body language, and thousands of skills, and then analyzing and processing the data, and innovating and creating and optimizing algorithms on this basis, will undoubtedly be a powerful boost to the development of related science and technology.
The innovative practice of "intangible cultural heritage + technology" makes ancient intangible cultural heritage more dazzling, broadens the channels for the inheritance and dissemination of intangible cultural heritage, and brings a win-win situation for cultural inheritance and technological development.

It's the summer vacation, and Beijing Technical College of Light Industry is particularly quiet. Li Chunke (李春珂), a national representative inheritor of ivory carving, has his studio on the second floor of the office building. He is concentrating on "opening the face" of his work with a carving machine. The Guan Gong (关公) statue in his hand weighs more than 20 pounds, and he is holding it with some difficulty, but his work is still neat. After careful polishing, the face of a martial general with a long beard, phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows is vividly presented. "Opening the face is a delicate job, and it usually takes two or three days to complete," Li Chunke (李春珂) said unhurriedly.
Ivory carving (hereinafter referred to as "ivory carving") is an ancient traditional Chinese craft that originated in the Neolithic Age, developed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In 2006, ivory carving was selected into the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. Nowadays, in order to protect and inherit the ivory carving technique, ivory carving works mainly use mammoth ivory fossils for creation without the use of ivory.
Li Chunke (李春珂) is 76 years old this year. He entered the Beijing Ivory Carving Factory (北京象牙雕刻厂) to learn the craft after graduating from junior high school. He has been in this business for 61 years. "During the heyday of the factory, there were nearly 800 employees. The products were mainly used for export. At that time, the selling price of a 17.5 cm high figurine of a lady was equivalent to the price of 24 'Forever' or 'Flying Pigeon' brand bicycles," Li Chunke (李春珂) introduced.
During his apprenticeship, Li Chunke (李春珂) arrived at the factory at 7 am. After work, he seized the time to draw and do wood carvings, working until nearly 10 pm before returning to the dormitory. Two years later, he represented the factory in competitions with his excellent skills.
"It takes at least 2 to 3 months to make an ivory carving, and longer ones take 1 to 2 years," Li Chunke (李春珂) said. Ivory carving includes four major steps: chiseling, planing, grinding, and coloring. "Chiseling is the most important step. The craftsman must carefully outline the patterns drawn on paper on the raw materials, pursuing a vivid and lively effect. Planing must be done slowly. Once a knife is applied, the knife mark will remain on it forever, and there can be no carelessness."
The biggest feature of Li Chunke's (李春珂) creation is the integration of painting art into ivory carving works. Taking "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" (《韩熙载夜宴图》) as an example, the original is one of China's top ten handed down paintings, reproducing the scene of official life during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. "Can these scenes be reproduced with ivory as the carrier?" Li Chunke (李春珂) boldly tried. The original work has many characters and rich scenes, while ivory is usually narrow and curved, with different sizes at both ends, which means that it cannot be copied 1:1 according to the original, nor can it be reduced proportionally. Through ingenious design, Li Chunke (李春珂) simplified the complex and transformed the flat painting into a three-dimensional ivory carving without losing the charm of the original. This work has successively won the Silver Award of the China Arts and Crafts Master Works and Arts and Crafts Boutique Expo and the Gold Award of the 5th China (National) Arts and Crafts Master Boutique Expo.
In the past two years, Li Chunke (李春珂) has had new ideas, exploring the inlaying of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" (《韩熙载夜宴图》) on the rosewood panel of a Luohan bed. More than 40 characters are displayed over a length of more than 2 meters, which is expected to be completed within this year.
"To do a good job in ivory carving, you must fully understand Chinese traditional culture and innovate on the basis of inheritance," Li Chunke (李春珂) said. In addition to reading, drawing, and practicing calligraphy, he goes to exhibitions whenever he has time. "You must see more and learn more, and absorb the strengths of others."
In Li Chunke's (李春珂) hands, in addition to traditional maids, he has also created innovative themes such as "A Hundred Flowers Blooming" (《百花争艳》), "Grasshopper Cabbage" (《蝈蝈白菜》), and "Musician Playing the Pipa" (《弹琵琶的音乐人》). He also combines ivory carving with filigree, cloisonné, wood carving and other crafts, which is refreshing.
Li Chunke (李春珂) once presided over the restoration and maintenance project of ivory carving works by old artists in the collection of the Beijing Arts and Crafts Museum (北京工艺美术博物馆), successfully restoring more than 100 precious ivory carving works such as "New Beijing" (《新北京》), "The Long March" (《万里长征》), and "Dadu River" (《大渡河》), and completely recorded the restoration process by means of recording and video recording, leaving valuable research materials for the inheritance of ivory carving techniques.
Since he started his career, Li Chunke (李春珂) has trained forty or fifty apprentices. Now, in addition to teaching at Beijing Technical College of Light Industry (北京轻工技师学院), he has also served as a master's tutor at the Chinese Academy of Arts (中国艺术研究院), Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology (北京服装学院), and Beijing City University (北京城市学院). "My biggest wish now is to train my students well so that the craft of ivory carving can be better inherited," Li Chunke (李春珂) said.

"Wild geese fly south, across the reed marshes, the sky is vast, where do the geese go, their hearts are in their northern home..." The folk song "Wild Geese" (鸿雁), which has been widely sung in recent years, was born in Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗), Bayannur (巴彦淖尔), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区).
Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗) is known as the "Hometown of Wild Geese" (鸿雁故乡). Every spring, flocks of wild geese migrate here. They sometimes circle in the air, sometimes perch and forage, and the rising and falling bird calls add infinite vitality to the grassland. Hailiutu Town (海流图镇), where the government of Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗) is located, has a Hongyan Street (鸿雁大街).
Locals believe that wild geese possess the five virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" (仁、义、礼、智、信), and are "benevolent and righteous birds" (仁义之禽). They are rooted in the northern frontier, helping neighbors, which is "benevolence" (仁); they are loyal to their mission, which is "righteousness" (义); they advance and retreat with ceremony, and the front calls and the back responds in harmony, which is "propriety" (礼); they are resourceful in dealing with dangers and avoiding eagles, which is "wisdom" (智); they come in spring and leave in autumn, never breaking their promise, which is "trustworthiness" (信).
In Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗), although wild geese do not live here permanently, the spirit of mutual assistance and watchfulness of wild geese has always been present. The local hospital receives a large number of patients from Mongolia every year, and medical staff often go to Mongolia to provide free medical services. In recent years, Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗) has accelerated the construction of a close-knit medical community, providing high-quality medical services to patients from China and Mongolia, and continuing to write a friendly chapter of mutual assistance and watchfulness with neighboring countries.
Crossing the Gobi Desert—
Mongolian Herdsmen Come for Medical Treatment
In April of this year, Sumya (苏木娅), an 87-year-old Mongolian herdsman, came to the Urad Middle Banner Mongolian Traditional Medicine Hospital (乌拉特中旗蒙中医医院) for treatment. The old woman has spent her life with the grassland, and she loves to sing and exercise with her old friends on weekdays, living a fulfilling life, but diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and knee osteoarthritis have plagued her for many years.
An old friend told Sumya (苏木娅) about her experience of seeking medical treatment in China, which moved her. "I heard that China is developing well, has a good environment, and has a high level of medical care, so I thought about going to a Chinese hospital for treatment." Sumya's (苏木娅) home is in South Gobi Province (南戈壁省), Mongolia, which borders Bayannur (巴彦淖尔). To see a doctor in Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗), she needs to enter the country through the Gants Mod Port (甘其毛都口岸), a journey of hundreds of kilometers. Her family felt sorry for the old woman, so she was accompanied by two daughters and a son.
The family took a bus and arrived after two days and one night. There were many trucks carrying goods on the road, the bus was slow, and the old woman needed to rest from time to time. After arriving at the Gants Mod Port (甘其毛都口岸), they took a taxi for 130 kilometers and arrived in Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗) at night. They stayed near the Urad Middle Banner Mongolian Traditional Medicine Hospital (乌拉特中旗蒙中医医院). The next morning, Bao Weitang (包伟棠), director of the Mongolian Medicine Psychosomatic Medicine Department of the hospital, received them.
Bao Weitang (包伟棠) is proficient in Mongolian and has treated many Mongolian patients in recent years. "Last winter, there was a patient with epilepsy who had seizures four or five times a month. After treatment, he has not had a seizure for half a year." In the consultation room, Sumya (苏木娅) and her children carefully recounted her medical history. The old woman said that she had chest tightness, shortness of breath, and limb pain that day. After taking her pulse and asking questions, Bao Weitang (包伟棠) arranged for an examination, prescribed Mongolian medicine, and admitted her to the hospital, using a combination of Mongolian and Western medicine for treatment. During her hospitalization, the old woman also watched video courses on psychosomatic interaction therapy. "The courses include grassland songs, meridian health exercises, and student sharing and expert lectures." Bao Weitang (包伟棠) said that this is a characteristic Mongolian medicine therapy, which can soothe the body and mind and stimulate self-healing potential through meditation guidance, relaxation training, and Mongolian medicine conditioning.
After treatment, Sumya (苏木娅) felt a significant improvement in her health. "I used to sleep lightly and wake up two or three times a night. I have slept soundly in China these past few days, which is a comfort I have never experienced before!" Sumya (苏木娅) said with a smile, "Now I feel relaxed all over. The Chinese doctors are very good and I can understand what they say." A week later, Sumya (苏木娅) and her children happily returned to their country.
Border City Doctors—
Building a Cross-Border Health Bridge
The doctors in Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗) have had a relationship with South Gobi Province (南戈壁省), Mongolia, for many years. Including Bao Weitang (包伟棠), many doctors from the Urad Middle Banner Mongolian Traditional Medicine Hospital (乌拉特中旗蒙中医医院) and the Urad Middle Banner People's Hospital (乌拉特中旗人民医院) went to Sumya's (苏木娅) hometown to provide free medical services in their early years. Tian Aijun (田爱军), vice president of the Urad Middle Banner People's Hospital (乌拉特中旗人民医院), is also one of them.
In April 2006, Tian Aijun (田爱军), who was still a surgeon, received a request for help from the Hanhonggord County Hospital (汉博格德县医院) in South Gobi Province (南戈壁省), Mongolia. "Due to poor medical conditions and a shortage of doctors, the hospital contacted us through the foreign affairs department." Tian Aijun (田爱军) recalled that it was the first time the hospital sent people abroad for free medical services. "At that time, they only had the 'old three items': a stethoscope, a sphygmomanometer, and a thermometer. The electrocardiograph we brought was very useful." Mongolia has a population of more than 3.5 million, nearly half of whom live in the capital Ulaanbaatar, and high-quality medical resources are also concentrated there, while the diagnosis and treatment conditions in remote areas are relatively backward. Tian Aijun (田爱军) remembers that when the herdsmen heard that Chinese doctors were coming, they lined up in the hospital with small benches. "In four or five days, we had to see sixty or seventy patients every day."
In 2012, Bagna (巴格那), president of the Urad Middle Banner Mongolian Traditional Medicine Hospital (乌拉特中旗蒙中医医院), went to Hanhonggord County (汉博格德县) for the first time. At that time, the local medical conditions had improved greatly, and equipment such as B-ultrasound had been equipped. He took colleagues from the B-ultrasound room and the laboratory to conduct targeted examinations for the herdsmen. "Although the equipment was old, the hospital was quiet and no one was noisy." Bagna (巴格那) said that they were busy seeing patients during the day, and the herdsmen would take them home to eat hand-held meat at night. "Chinese doctors and Mongolian patients became friends." In 2023, when he went there again, many local old friends still remembered him.
Dabuxilatu (达布希拉图), director of the outpatient department of the Urad Middle Banner Mongolian Traditional Medicine Hospital (乌拉特中旗蒙中医医院), is good at acupuncture and massage. In September 2019, he and Bao Weitang (包伟棠) and others went to Hanhonggord County (汉博格德县) again, spending two days on the round trip and two days providing free medical services. When they went, it was the weekend, and the Chinese doctors worked non-stop from morning to night. "At that time, it was just the change of seasons, and there were many people catching colds, and there were also many patients with waist and leg pain." Dabuxilatu (达布希拉图) said that some people had minor problems, so he simply treated the patients, such as cupping. He also taught the herdsmen the cupping technique, and left the cups he brought with him when he left.
One free medical service after another made the herdsmen in Hanhonggord County (汉博格德县) remember the Chinese doctors, and also allowed the elderly and sick Sumya (苏木娅) to get the information and be moved to come for treatment, relieving her pain through cross-border medical treatment. These white-clothed angels who shuttle between the surrounding adjacent areas spread the benevolence of doctors on the grassland, leaving a reputation for folk friendship. They said that they will go again in the future, both to fulfill their mission and to see those old friends in foreign countries.
Technological Empowerment—
Sharing High-Quality Medical Resources
Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗) is located in the "backbone" position of China's rooster map. The Gants Mod Port (甘其毛都口岸) is known as the international border trade city on China's "backbone" and faces the Gashuun Sukhait Port (嘎顺苏海图口岸) of Hanhonggord County (汉博格德县), Mongolia, across the border.
"Gants Mod" (甘其毛都) means "a tree" in Mongolian, indicating that this place was once desolate. When it was set up as a temporary transshipment point in 1989, there were only two Mongolian yurts here. Today, it has become the largest highway port in China's border provinces and regions in terms of cargo throughput. In 2024, the Gants Mod Port (甘其毛都口岸) has cumulatively completed 40.7159 million tons of import and export cargo throughput. The large trucks carrying goods that Sumya's (苏木娅) family encountered on the road were destined for the Gants Mod Port (甘其毛都口岸). Therefore, the port has attracted a large number of foreign populations, many of whom are Mongolian truck drivers.
One evening in March of this year, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the clinic of the Gants Mod Town Health Center (甘其毛都镇卫生院). A Mongolian truck driver walked in with the support of a colleague, with a cyanotic face and rapid breathing: "I feel very uncomfortable, I'm about to die!" The attending doctor, Ma Rui (马瑞), quickly diagnosed acute heart failure, and edema in both lower limbs was already very obvious. Oxygen inhalation, infusion, intensive care... an emergency life rescue was launched. "He has to go back to his country for further treatment, so we quickly contacted his company, as well as the Mongolian Embassy and Consulate in China and customs and other departments." Lu Qiancheng (吕前程), director of the Gants Mod Town Health Center (甘其毛都镇卫生院), said that it was not until 10 pm that the driver, whose condition had stabilized after multi-party coordination, was safely sent back to Mongolia.
In order to allow people in the surrounding areas to enjoy high-quality medical resources, in September 2023, Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗) accelerated the construction of a close-knit medical community, closely linking all township health centers in the banner with the two leading hospitals, the Banner People's Hospital (旗人民医院) and the Mongolian Traditional Medicine Hospital (蒙中医医院), weaving a medical security network covering urban and rural areas. When the reporter visited, he met a villager from Gants Mod Town (甘其毛都镇) who came to the town health center for treatment due to discomfort in his right shoulder. After the doctor took an X-ray, he immediately uploaded the image data to the Urad Middle Banner Mongolian Traditional Medicine Hospital (乌拉特中旗蒙中医医院) through the medical community system. A few minutes later, experts from the Mongolian Traditional Medicine Hospital (蒙中医医院) sent back their diagnostic opinions.
"Not only X-rays, but also electrocardiogram and other examination data can be transmitted in real time, and experts from the leading hospitals can remotely check them." Shi Yingxin (石楹新), director of the Health and Health Commission Office of Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗卫生健康委), introduced, "We have also connected artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis tools to the system to help doctors improve their diagnosis and treatment efficiency." Local hospitals provide high-quality medical services to the people of China and Mongolia with heart and affection. From May 2015 to the end of 2024, the Gants Mod Town Health Center (甘其毛都镇卫生院) has treated a total of 8,430 Mongolian patients, and customs and border inspection personnel from Mongolia also often come to the hospital for physical examinations.
"The singing is far away, the sound of the piano trembles, and the spring is warm on the grassland..." This place where wild geese often stay also makes Sumya (苏木娅) and others feel sincerity and warmth. The folk friendship of mutual assistance between China and Mongolia is constantly transmitted to the surrounding adjacent areas and even wider spaces in the hands of border city doctors.
Link: Bayannur (巴彦淖尔), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古)
Bayannur (巴彦淖尔), which means "rich lake" in Mongolian, is located in western Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), at the top of the "Ji" (几) character bend of the Yellow River (黄河). It borders Mongolia to the north and has a 369-kilometer border line. The city actively integrates into the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" (一带一路), and practical cooperation with Mongolia in various fields such as economy and trade, culture, medical care, and ecological protection is constantly deepening.
The Gants Mod Port (甘其毛都口岸) is the largest highway port for cargo throughput between China and Mongolia, accounting for about 1/3 of the total cargo throughput of 14 highway and railway ports in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). On May 14 this year, the construction commencement ceremony of the China-Mongolia Gants Mod to Gashuun Sukhait Railway (中蒙甘其毛都至嘎顺苏海图铁路) was held on the China-Mongolia border. The entire railway is planned to be completed and opened to traffic in 2027. It is expected to be able to handle 30 million tons of cargo transportation per year after completion, which will increase the annual customs clearance capacity of the Gants Mod Port (甘其毛都口岸) by nearly one time. Bayannur (巴彦淖尔) is strengthening its connection with the international market and promoting high-quality agricultural and livestock products, characteristic industrial products, etc. to the world. In the first half of 2025, the city's total foreign trade import and export volume was 24.67 billion yuan, an increase of 8.1% year-on-year.

"Urad" (乌拉特) in Mongolian means "craftsman." Medical workers in Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗) fully demonstrate the true qualities of "craftsmen," using the benevolence of doctors to build a health bridge spanning China and Mongolia, vividly interpreting China's neighboring diplomatic philosophy of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness.
From Tian Aijun (田爱军) taking an electrocardiograph machine to Mongolia for free clinics in 2006, to the deep friendship between Bagenna (巴格那) and local herdsmen, and then to Dabusilatu (达布希拉图) teaching cupping techniques and leaving treatment tools, these examples demonstrate the warmth of "amity." Chinese doctors, with their sincere dedication, promote a two-way friendship, which is a powerful manifestation of "sincerity."
Sumya (苏木娅), an 87-year-old Mongolian herdsman, traveled hundreds of kilometers to the Mongolian Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗蒙中医医院) for treatment; a Mongolian truck driver suffering from acute heart failure received timely treatment at Ganqimaodu Town Health Center (甘其毛都镇卫生院). These examples fully demonstrate China's openness benefiting its neighbors, transforming the concepts of "mutual benefit" and "inclusiveness" into tangible benefits for people's livelihoods, allowing the "hard connectivity" of economic cooperation and the "soft connectivity" of people's livelihood services to form a virtuous cycle.
On the grasslands of Urad Middle Banner (乌拉特中旗), the wild geese never fail to arrive in spring and depart in autumn; on the border line, the footsteps of Chinese doctors will not stop. They integrate the concept of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness into every medical service, promote Sino-Mongolian people-to-people friendship, and inject continuous impetus into building a community with a shared future in the neighborhood.

Return to TopGeneral Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized increasing financial investment in rural revitalization to support firmly holding the rice bowl of food security, serving the development of rural industries, and promoting increased income and prosperity for farmers.
Entering a new stage of development, China is accelerating the establishment of a multi-level, broad-coverage, and sustainable modern rural financial service system. In July of this year, the People's Bank of China (中国人民银行) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (农业农村部) jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening Financial Services for Rural Reform and Promoting Comprehensive Rural Revitalization," proposing to enhance reform thinking, make good use of reform methods, and deeply implement special actions for financial support of comprehensive rural revitalization. Recently, our reporter traveled to many places to explore how finance is innovating services and deeply cultivating the fertile soil of mountain villages.

Increasing Financial Assistance to Poverty-Alleviated Areas and Key Populations
Financing Supports the Growth of Characteristic Industries
By Our Reporter Yu Jingxian (郁静娴)
Around the time of the End of Heat, on the terraced fields of Cuima Village (崔马村), Luoyu Town (洛峪镇), Xihe County (西和县), Gansu Province (甘肃省), the broad leaves of coltsfoot flowers spread out in layers of green. With a few "snips," Ma Chenghui (马成会), a household lifted out of poverty, tossed the cut dry leaves into a bamboo basket. "When the weather is hot, the seedlings are prone to poor ventilation at the roots, and the rotten leaves must be removed in time so that the coltsfoot flowers can bloom well."
Coltsfoot flowers require low investment and are easy to manage, but the upfront costs of purchasing seeds, fertilizers, and preparing the land are considerable. "At that time, my family couldn't come up with that much money all at once, and I was very grateful to the Agricultural Bank for helping me solve my urgent need," said Ma Chenghui (马成会). "The loan I took out in January, 50,000 yuan, came through in no time, and it was still an interest-free loan."
Xihe County (西和县) has a reputation as a "Millennial Medicinal Herb Township." In recent years, the planting of Chinese medicinal materials, mainly pinellia, coltsfoot flowers, and astragalus, has become a characteristic industry that promotes increased income for the local population lifted out of poverty. Ma Cica (马赐才), the secretary of the village Party branch, introduced that the village has now planted more than 230 mu of various Chinese medicinal materials. The abandoned land of the past has become a production base, increasing the village's annual income by more than 2.6 million yuan and the average household income by 27,000 yuan.
Industrial development has not been smooth sailing. Initially, villagers planted and sold their crops in a scattered manner, lacking guarantees for yield and quality, having low bargaining power, and experiencing unstable incomes. How can we better help our fellow villagers increase their income?
Washing, peeling, slicing, screening... Stepping into the preliminary processing workshop of the Guanghong Chinese Medicinal Materials Professional Cooperative (广鸿中药材专业合作社) in Xihe County (西和县), dozens of workers are focusing on processing various authentic medicinal materials.
"This is the preliminary processing workshop and the pollution-free testing center. Behind it, there is also a 200-ton cold storage and a production line for Chinese medicinal material health products," introduced Lu Macheng (鲁马成), the director of the cooperative. With the support of the County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau (县农业农村局), industry associations, and other organizations, the local Chinese medicinal material planting has gradually embarked on a standardized track and effectively overcome continuous cropping obstacles. The cooperative organizes farmers, manages them uniformly from planting to harvesting, and creates a Chinese medicinal material industry system that integrates planting, preliminary processing, warehousing logistics, and traceability management. Currently, the cooperative's average annual production and sales volume reaches 1,200 tons, with a total output value of approximately 100 million yuan, driving income growth for more than 1,800 farmers, of which over 70% are households lifted out of poverty.
Behind the industrial chain, there is a reliable capital chain in operation. "From 2018 to 2021, 10 million yuan in loans supported the purchase of advanced equipment; from 2022 to 2023, 3 million yuan in loans supported the cooperative in overcoming the difficulties of the epidemic; from 2024 to 2025, 3 million yuan in loans will help expand the scale of acquisitions..." Lu Macheng (鲁马成) recounted the financial support from the Agricultural Bank over the years.
"Based on the layout of agricultural industries in Gansu Province (甘肃省), we have carefully drawn a financial service ecological map, further highlighting loan support for growers of characteristic economic crops such as plateau summer vegetables, fruits, potatoes, and Chinese medicinal materials, as well as livestock farmers, to strengthen the county's industry for enriching the people," said Wu Gang (吴岗), Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the Agricultural Bank of China (农行) Gansu Provincial Branch. In addition to financial support, the branch's village-based work team also uses the resources of the entire bank platform to build sales channels through consumer assistance, e-commerce live streaming, and offline connections with pharmaceutical companies, effectively assisting farmers in expanding the sales of agricultural products.
Focusing on key regions, key populations, and characteristic industries, in recent years, the Agricultural Bank has continued to increase the issuance of loans to farmers, helping to safeguard the bottom line of preventing large-scale return to poverty and continuously stimulating the endogenous development momentum of poverty-alleviated areas. As of the end of June this year, the Agricultural Bank's loan balance in 832 poverty-alleviated counties exceeded 2.4 trillion yuan, and the loan balance in 160 national key counties for rural revitalization was 475.8 billion yuan, an increase of 39.2 billion yuan since the beginning of the year.
Improving the Level of Financial Services for Rural Construction
Policy-Oriented Finance Lights Up New Scenery in Mountain Villages
By Our Reporter Zhao Zhanhui (赵展慧)
In the evening, in Longbaotang Village (龙宝塘村), northeast of Fairy Mountain (仙女山) in Wulong (武隆), Chongqing (重庆), the streetlights light up one after another. Villager Zhou Liuzhong (周六忠) walks on the newly paved asphalt road. "The changes are great now, and the road home is very comfortable." Zhou Liuzhong (周六忠) said that the village used to have dirt roads. Chongqing (重庆) has a lot of rain, and they always got covered in mud. There were no streetlights, and they had to go home in the dark after working late.
The current Longbaotang Village (龙宝塘村) not only has better roads, but also clearer streams because sewage pipes have been built. The facades of the farmhouses have also been repainted, and the overall appearance of the village and the living environment have been greatly improved.
Fairy Mountain Street (仙女山街道) governs seven administrative villages with beautiful natural environments. In recent years, the local government has used improving the rural living environment as a basic project to promote comprehensive rural revitalization. "Municipal administration, roads, sewage pipe networks, and other infrastructure are the key points of the renovation." Zhang Wenhua (张文华), the head of the construction party, Chongqing Yufeng Urban Management Service Co., Ltd. (重庆市裕丰城市管理服务有限公司), introduced that Fairy Mountain Street (仙女山街道) started the renovation in 2022.
"Because of insufficient funds, the initial plan was relatively conservative." Zhang Wenhua (张文华) admitted that it wasn't that they hadn't thought about loans, but these types of projects require large investments, have low returns, have few sources of collateral, and have long recovery cycles, making financing difficult. Unexpectedly, matching financial resources took the initiative to come to their door. "Key areas and weak links such as rural construction are the focus of support for policy-oriented finance." Li Xiaofan (李晓帆), a client manager at the Chongqing Branch of the National Development Bank (国家开发银行重庆分行), said that after sufficient research, the two parties quickly reached a cooperation intention.
With financial support, the project can be planned on a larger "chessboard." Fairy Mountain National Forest Park (仙女山国家森林公园) attracts many tourists every year, and parking is a major problem. Garbage disposal facilities are also inadequate... "The Chongqing Branch suggested that we build new parking lots and garbage landfills, which would not only meet the actual needs of the local area, but also build a diversified income source for us and solve the financing bottleneck." Zhang Wenhua (张文华) said that after calculation, the operating income of these two facilities after completion can account for more than 60% of the overall income source of the project.
"Adopting the idea of combining profitable and unprofitable projects and using the income from operating facilities to subsidize quasi-public infrastructure construction can achieve the sustainability and financial balance of the project." Li Xiaofan (李晓帆) said that according to the new plan, the Chongqing Branch provided a long-term credit line of 220 million yuan for the Fairy Mountain (仙女山) Beautiful Rural Construction Project in Wulong District (武隆区), and 80 million yuan has been issued so far.
Financial resources continue to pour in, and the construction blueprint is gradually expanding. The renovation scope of the sewage pipe network has been extended from 20 kilometers to more than 70 kilometers, and the roads have been transformed from a few kilometers of repairs to dozens of kilometers of asphalt paving... The renovation project has covered all the villages in the jurisdiction, benefiting 16,000 villagers.
With the village's appearance completely renewed, Zhou Liuzhong's (周六忠) life has also undergone considerable changes. With better roads and new houses, more and more tourists are coming to the village, and he and his wife have taken the opportunity to open a local restaurant. The vegetables are freshly picked from the fields, and the free-range chickens are raised on the mountains. The three-story building of Zhou Liuzhong's (周六忠) family is filled with the aroma of food. Today, more than 320 farmhouses have opened in the Fairy Mountain (仙女山) area, and the natural scenery and the new scenery of the mountain villages complement each other.
The Fairy Mountain (仙女山) Beautiful Rural Construction Project has become one of the models for opening up financing channels for rural construction. "Exploring the 'governance + industrial introduction' project bundling method in accordance with local conditions, providing overall credit lines for projects that meet the conditions, and supporting the construction of livable, workable, and beautiful villages." The relevant person in charge of the National Development Bank (国开行) introduced that the National Development Bank (国开行) continues to increase the allocation of financial resources to rural construction, and has issued more than 100 billion yuan in agricultural-related loans in the first half of this year.
Strengthening the Quality and Efficiency of Financial Empowerment in Rural Governance
Whole-Village Credit Granting Revitalizes Villagers' Assets
By Our Reporter Liu Junguo (刘军国)
The grinding machine whirs, and water vapor wraps around the aroma of soybeans, pouring outwards. The orders on the wall are densely packed. Sun Shenfu (孙申富), an individual business owner in Meirong Village (梅蓉村), Tonglu County (桐庐县), Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang Province (浙江省), opened a tofu workshop in the village, and his business is booming. As the autumn harvest season approaches, Sun Shenfu (孙申富) hopes to buy more soybeans from the villagers, add a few more pieces of equipment, hire more people, and expand the scale of the tofu workshop.
But after doing the math, he still needs at least 200,000 yuan in working capital, which makes Sun Shenfu (孙申富) worried. "I don't have much spare money on hand, and I don't know what the conditions are for a loan." Sun Shenfu (孙申富) admitted that he rarely dealt with banks in the past and always felt that it was not easy for farmers to get loans.
Before long, his worries were easily resolved. "No assets are needed, and 200,000 yuan was credited to my account in 3 days!" Sun Shenfu (孙申富) quickly added several automated machines and ordered soybeans from the villagers, expecting the tofu workshop's profits to double this year.
The loan in Sun Shenfu's (孙申富) hand is the "Huinong e-Loan" issued by the Agricultural Bank of China (农行) Tonglu Branch. Farmers can easily obtain funds without collateral. Why is it so convenient?
This is due to the whole-village credit granting model, which is when the bank takes the village as a unit, "packages" rural business entities such as farmers, merchants, and cooperatives within its jurisdiction to establish information files, and uses big data models to assess credit ratings and grant corresponding amounts, so that individual villagers can obtain loans based on their credit without collateral or guarantee.
Credit does not come out of thin air. In order to accurately grasp the "credit background" of the villagers, the Agricultural Bank's client managers have put in a lot of hard work—during the day, they go from village to village, sitting on thresholds and field ridges to chat with the villagers, recording who has stable income from working, who has a large planting and breeding scale, and who has good neighborly evaluations; at night, they integrate the visit information with the big data shared by the government to establish a "credit file" for the loan recipients.
"It's like drawing a credit 'portrait' for the villagers." Pan Yuhuan (潘玉环), manager of the Personal Finance Department of the Agricultural Bank of China (农行) Tonglu Branch, said that the bank can then calculate the loan amount for each villager—Sun Shenfu (孙申富) received a loan of 200,000 yuan because of his stable operating income and good neighborly evaluations; Wang Dajie's (王大姐) honey pear orchard has a large scale and many orders, and the loan amount has increased to 300,000 yuan; even Uncle Li (李大爷), who is almost 60 years old and raises bees, has obtained an amount of 100,000 yuan because of his "clean credit record."
In Meirong Village (梅蓉村), there are many other villagers who have benefited from whole-village credit granting. As of now, the Agricultural Bank of China (农行) Tonglu Branch has established files for more than 400 farmers in the village, with a financial service coverage rate of over 93% and a loan balance of over 7 million yuan. The villagers who have obtained loans are using their strengths: some have planted bayberries, adding a "fortune forest" to the mountains; some have engaged in "rice paddy coffee" characteristic rural tourism, creating a popular internet check-in spot.
What makes the villagers even more at ease is that the bank and the village are working together to "monitor" whether the loans are used well. Wu Fangyun (吴方云), secretary of the Party Committee of Meirong Village (梅蓉村), pointed to the publicity column at the entrance of the village and said: "The use and repayment of villagers' loans are posted here, and everyone supervises each other. Last year, someone wanted to move the loan to invest in other places, but before they could do anything, they were persuaded by their neighbors—'If you can't repay the money, our village's credit score will be affected, and who will dare to deal with you in the future?'"
This atmosphere of "national co-management" has changed the credit environment of Meirong Village (梅蓉村). In the past, individual villagers defaulted on their debts, and everyone didn't feel anything. Now, "one household loses credit, and the whole village is anxious"; in the past, financing channels were limited, but now, after whole-village credit granting, you can get a loan by taking out your mobile phone, and the higher the credit rating, the more favorable the interest rate.
Like a "credit network" covering the countryside, the whole-village credit granting model has revitalized the villagers' credit assets, and also made the villagers realize that "**诚信抵万金**" (chéng xìn dǐ wàn jīn - "honesty is worth a thousand gold," honesty is extremely valuable), cherish their personal credit more, and promote the continuous improvement of the village's customs and appearance. Currently, the Agricultural Bank of China (农行) Zhejiang Provincial Branch has implemented whole-village credit granting business in more than 3,800 administrative villages in its jurisdiction, involving loans of 48.7 billion yuan. Under the guidance of the Zhejiang Financial Regulatory Bureau (浙江金融监管局), the jurisdiction has basically achieved full coverage of whole-village credit granting, and the proportion of credit loans to farmers in the jurisdiction is approximately 65%.
Strengthening the Financial Supply for the Development of New Quality Productivity in Agriculture
Patent Pledge Activates Seed Industry Innovation
By Our Reporter Sun Haitian (孙海天)
South of 18 degrees north latitude in Hainan Province (海南省), the Nanfan Base (南繁基地) located in the three cities and counties of Sanya (三亚), Lingshui (陵水), and Ledong (乐东) is an accelerator for agricultural scientific research in China. Regardless of winter or spring, the fields here are always bustling with activity. However, on this field of hope, the troubles of growth are equally real.
Hainan Nongle Nanfan Technology Co., Ltd. (海南农乐南繁科技有限公司), a national high-tech enterprise with over 10,000 mu of seed production base in Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City (三亚崖州湾科技城), once faced a "drought" of funds.
"We are a typical 'light asset, heavy R&D' enterprise. Our most valuable assets are patents and technology, but under the traditional credit model, it is difficult to directly convert them into the funds needed for development," said Liu Yuling (刘玉玲), the company's financial director.
An innovative financial model helps companies overcome financing obstacles. The Hainan Provincial Branch of Bank of Communications (交通银行海南省分行) launched the "Park Guarantee Loan" product, which allows companies to borrow money based on their patents, with the risk shared by the bank, the Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City Administration (三亚崖州湾科技城管理局), and the Hainan Provincial Financing Guarantee Fund Company (海南省融资担保基金公司).
A knowledge property patent of Nongle Nanfan (农乐南繁) called "Breeding Method of High Stress Resistance Giant Embryo Rice Sterile Line" was valued at over 7 million yuan after a third-party assessment. A knowledge property certificate was eventually converted into a 2 million yuan credit-based guarantee loan. "The Park Guarantee Loan has low thresholds and high efficiency. The approval time is nearly a week shorter than traditional business, truly turning our 'intellectual property' into assets," said Liu Yuling (刘玉玲).
Behind a series of financial innovations is the accelerated establishment of a differentiated credit assessment system. Under the guidance of the Hainan Provincial Branch of the People's Bank of China (人民银行海南省分行), financial institutions in Hainan no longer only focus on financial statements and fixed assets, but instead regard the company's scientific research strength, patent value, team level, and other "soft power" as "hard indicators" for credit granting, leveraging their own differentiated advantages to support seed industry innovation. The Hainan Provincial Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (工商银行海南省分行) strengthens financing for major projects, the Hainan Provincial Branch of China Construction Bank (建设银行海南省分行) refines and details its work in supporting agriculture and small businesses, the Hainan Provincial Branch of Postal Savings Bank of China (邮储银行海南省分行) launches products such as "Small Enterprise Mortgage Loans," and the Hainan Bank (海南银行) provides loans of 185 million yuan to small and micro seed industry enterprises. The Hainan Provincial Branch of Agricultural Bank of China (农业银行海南省分行) customizes bank cards for Nanfan (南繁) scientists, delivering financial services to the doorsteps of laboratories...
In order to further break the promotion bottlenecks of knowledge property pledge financing, the Hainan Provincial Branch of the People's Bank of China (人民银行海南省分行) and the Science and Technology City Administration (科技城管理局) frequently hold credit policy promotion meetings and bank-enterprise financing matchmaking meetings, building an efficient communication bridge for government, banks, and enterprises, effectively breaking the information barriers of the past where banks could not understand patents and enterprises could not find funds.
Strengthening financial services for seed industry revitalization and improving the financing convenience of seed industry enterprises are becoming the new normal in "Nanfan Silicon Valley." As of the end of the first quarter of 2024, the loan balance of Sanya Nanfan (三亚南繁) breeding-related industries alone had reached 3.024 billion yuan, an increase of 3.35% year-on-year. From providing long-term R&D loans for core technology breakthrough projects to innovating the use of financial leasing and equity investment funds to support the purchase of breeding equipment, a financial service ecosystem covering the entire seed industry chain is flourishing on the hot land of Nanfan (南繁), injecting a continuous stream of financial momentum into winning the seed industry turnaround battle and firmly holding the Chinese people's rice bowl in their own hands.

In recent days, the People's Bank of China (中国人民银行) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (农业农村部) jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening Financial Services for Rural Reform and Promoting the Comprehensive Revitalization of Rural Areas," proposing to "improve the rural financial service system and enhance the effectiveness of financial resource allocation." Currently, the futures market continues to make positive contributions to serving the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. After more than 30 years of development, China has listed 47 agricultural product futures and options varieties, covering many important agricultural fields such as grain, cotton, oil, sugar, fruit, forestry, poultry eggs, and agricultural materials, effectively playing the functions of price discovery, risk management, and resource allocation. This financial tool, which was previously unfamiliar to ordinary people, is now playing an increasingly important role in improving the rural financial service system and supporting the construction of a strong agricultural country. To continuously expand the depth and breadth of futures support for the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, continuous efforts must be made in many aspects.
Strengthening support for the resilience and security level of the agricultural industry chain helps enhance the ability to resist risks. China is a large agricultural country, and agricultural production faces greater natural and market risks. Leading agricultural enterprises use futures and options tools to carry out hedging, effectively manage price risks, and cope with external shocks, which helps ensure the supply and stabilize the prices of grain and important agricultural products. In the future, in the process of circulation of major agricultural products, the application of the "futures price + basis" basis trade model should be further expanded to help stabilize the cooperative relationship between the upstream and downstream of agricultural products and improve the resilience of the industry chain and supply chain. At the same time, futures companies' risk management companies and bulk commodity industry service providers should continue to explore innovative businesses such as optioned trade and over-the-counter options to better meet the diversified and personalized risk management needs of small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises.
Strengthening multi-party cooperation with financial institutions such as insurance and banks to improve the comprehensive agricultural support model. The futures market has launched the "insurance + futures" model, which transfers the risk of declining agricultural product prices through insurance compensation and futures risk hedging mechanisms, helping farmers cope with the dilemma of "increased production but not increased income." This is a unique innovation in China's futures market to support "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers." In the future, the integration of various financial means should be strengthened, and the application of the "insurance + futures" model should be continuously deepened. For example, futures exchanges can jointly conduct businesses such as "outright repurchase" of futures standard warrants with commercial banks to provide financing support for agricultural enterprises in need and explore new ways to use agricultural product movable property to solve the financing problems of agricultural enterprises. Another example is to continue to play a combined punch of "order + insurance + futures + credit" to ensure that farmers are "not worried about prices" for sales, "not worried about selling" for planting, and "not worried about money" for production, and improve the effect of comprehensive financial support for agriculture.
Doing a good job in financial services for rural specialty agricultural products empowers county economic development. In order to meet the financial needs of China's specialty agricultural products, the futures market has listed agricultural product futures and options such as apples, red dates, peanuts, eggs, and live pigs, specifically serving the development of rural specialty industries. In terms of standardization, the futures market drives standardized agricultural planting and brand development by unifying futures standards, effectively increasing the added value of agricultural products and farmers' income, and promoting the filling of shortcomings such as short agricultural industry chains and low standardization. In terms of market information, the futures market provides continuous, open, transparent, and authoritative price information, providing predictable price references for agricultural production and operation. In the future, efforts should be increased in county economic development, more specialty agricultural product futures should be launched, and the layout of agricultural product futures delivery warehouses should be continuously optimized and improved, driving the clustered development of warehousing, packaging, inspection, logistics, and other industries, and helping to integrate into the unified national market.
At present, China's agricultural product futures market ranks among the top in the world, providing a solid foundation for further improving the rural financial service system. Looking to the future, anchoring the goal requirements of accelerating the construction of a strong agricultural country, researching and listing more new futures and options products suitable for China's national conditions and agricultural conditions, focusing on improving the market operation quality of listed agricultural products, better playing the functional role of the futures market, and exploring innovative "futures +" characteristic business models will contribute more "futures power" to improving the rural financial service system.

In recent days, the World Humanoid Robot Olympics "100-meter sprint" final kicked off. Two Unitree H1 robots and two Tonggong Ultra robots from the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center (北京人形机器人创新中心) competed. As one of the events with the most participants and the fiercest competition in this year's Games, the "100-meter sprint" had a total of 23 groups of 90 robot contestants. In the end, the Unitree H1 robot was the first to cross the finish line. The Tonggong Ultra robot, due to its "fully autonomous" capability, was able to multiply its score by a coefficient of 0.8, ultimately winning the championship with a time of 21.5 seconds.
According to predictions, the sales of humanoid robots in China are expected to exceed 10,000 units this year, a year-on-year increase of 125%. In terms of application, humanoid robots have been piloted in industrial manufacturing, retail distribution, catering services, and other fields, and the industry is entering a stage of large-scale implementation.
"Chasing each other and showing their strengths" has become a vivid portrayal of the development of the domestic humanoid robot industry.
Trend 1: Faster Innovative Applications
With the advancement of large-scale production, the cost of complete machines will further decrease; risks and ethics need to be studied and governed simultaneously.
This year, "Embodied Intelligence" was written into the "Government Work Report" for the first time. The State Council recently issued the "Opinions on Deeply Implementing the 'Artificial Intelligence+' Action," proposing to cultivate new intelligent native models and new business forms for the development of the "Artificial Intelligence+" industry. Humanoid robots are a typical business form in the embodied intelligence track.
Currently, many regions have introduced policies to support the development of humanoid robots. Hangzhou (杭州) has included humanoid robot complete machines, software algorithms, and key components in the scope of municipal key scientific research project support. Beijing (北京) has established a government investment fund with a total scale of 100 billion yuan and a duration of 15 years. Shanghai (上海) has proposed that by 2027, the core industry scale of embodied intelligence will exceed 50 billion yuan. Industry experts say that the "inflection point" of humanoid robot scale is already appearing. Hardware, "cerebellum" motor skills, and "brain" intelligence are constantly improving, and some companies have achieved large-scale production and delivery.
Han Fengtao (韩峰涛), founder and CEO of Qianxun Intelligence, believes that the technology in the field of humanoid robots has shown the characteristics of integrated development. At the hardware level, core components such as joint actuators and sensors are gradually converging towards consistency and standardization in their technical routes. At the software level, related artificial intelligence algorithms such as perception, decision-making, and control are still in the stage of parallel exploration of multiple technical routes.
"With the advancement of large-scale production, the cost of core components has dropped significantly. For example, the price of a new generation of joint modules has entered the range of hundreds of yuan from thousands of yuan," said Han Fengtao. "It is expected that the cost of complete machines will further decrease, and large-scale applications will follow the path of 'industry before logistics, commercial before home'."
Liu Wei (刘伟), director of the Human-Computer Interaction and Cognitive Engineering Laboratory at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (北京邮电大学), believes that with the arrival of the large-scale application stage, the development of humanoid robots will also bring many ethical and social challenges. "For example, when humanoid robots cause harm or accidents, who should bear the responsibility? Is it the producer, the owner, or the robot itself? Secondly, humanoid robots may collect a large amount of users' personal information in the process of providing services. How to ensure that this information is not misused is an urgent problem to be solved."
The widespread application of humanoid robots may also trigger human beings to rethink their own value and meaning of existence. Liu Wei said: "How to avoid human beings over-relying on robots and maintain human autonomy and creativity also needs to be discussed in depth."
The development of humanoid robots should strive to benefit mankind. In the view of Duan Weiwen (段伟文), a researcher at the Center for Cultural Development Promotion of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (中国社会科学院), while accelerating innovative applications, interdisciplinary research should be carried out from the perspectives of robotics, human factors engineering, and human-computer behavior psychology to timely discuss the risks and impacts that humanoid robots may bring to human beings in specific scenarios, and timely control and governance should be carried out.
"In short, there should be a certain ethical sensitivity to humanoid robot technology, combining value reflection and ethical review with the study of the impact of humanoid robots on human behavior and psychology," said Duan Weiwen. It is necessary to start from preventive and ethical design, dynamically adjust and govern the ethical risks of the entire life cycle of humanoid robot innovative applications, and promote responsible research and innovation.
Trend 2: Higher Technical Level
Multi-factor coordinated development of hardware innovation, advanced algorithms, and high-quality data accumulation; support for intelligent communication technologies such as satellite navigation and positioning, and 5G communication.
Beijing Yizhuang (北京亦庄) has more than 300 robot and intelligent manufacturing ecological enterprises, forming an industrial chain covering core components, complete machine manufacturing, system integration, and scenario solutions. Shenzhen Nanshan (深圳南山) has realized the rapid transformation of humanoid robots from design to mass production, "designing drawings in the morning, processing them downstairs at noon, and getting samples in the afternoon"...
In recent years, China's original innovation and engineering realization capabilities in humanoid robots have steadily improved, and industrial supporting facilities have been accelerated. "The evolution and iteration of humanoid robots cannot be separated from the coordinated development of three major elements: hardware innovation, model capability improvement, and high-quality data accumulation," said Han Fengtao.
Jiao Jichao (焦继超), vice president and dean of the Research Institute of UBTECH (优必选), believes that the core components of humanoid robots need to improve stability and gradually reduce volume. "For example, the development of harmonic reducers, high-power density motors, and various sensors can drive the design and manufacturing level of humanoid robot joint modules and dexterous hands."
In addition to hardware, another driving force for humanoid robots is algorithms. In recent years, thanks to the development of large models, humanoid robots have made rapid breakthroughs in motor skills, perception capabilities, and intelligence levels. For example, visual language action models that integrate visual perception, language understanding, and action control can help create "end-to-end" decision-making systems for humanoid robots.
Han Fengtao cited an example that high-performance integrated force-controlled joints and advanced algorithms enable humanoid robots to complete fine operations such as folding clothes and taking drinks. At the same time, data is the key to improving the "brain ability" of robots. By accumulating more high-quality real data, the robot's scenario application ability can continue to improve. In Jiao Jichao's view, the current learning generalization ability, adaptability to environmental changes, and autonomous decision-making ability of humanoid robots still have a lot of room for improvement.
In addition to the innovation and iteration of its own software and hardware, the development of humanoid robots also relies on the support of related technologies such as satellite navigation and positioning, and 5G communication. At the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, a robot action hub integrating spatiotemporal perception and edge computing power—the "Spatiotemporal Computing Power Backpack"—attracted attention. Different from ordinary backpacks, the user of this backpack is a humanoid robot.
"This backpack is equipped with Beidou (北斗) satellite antennas, boards, and other spatiotemporal intelligent hardware combinations, which can provide 7×24-hour Beidou spatiotemporal intelligent services. It endows robots with dynamic centimeter-level precise positioning and multi-model collaborative reasoning capabilities, allowing robots to move from indoors to outdoors," said Chen Jinpei (陈金培), CEO of Qianxun Location Network Co., Ltd. (千寻位置网络有限公司).
This year's World Humanoid Robot Olympics achieved full coverage of 5G-A networks inside and outside the stadium. Qin Yang (秦洋), deputy general manager of Beijing Unicom (北京联通), introduced: "We provide people and robots with multi-dimensional network capabilities such as large uplink, high reliability, and wide connection. Especially in the venue, we have increased the network peak to 2.4Gbps (gigabits per second) through ultra-large bandwidth, supporting the communication network needs of humanoid robots in environmental interaction, real-time decision-making, precise positioning, and multi-machine collaboration."
Trend 3: Stronger Comprehensive Performance
"Throw away the remote control" to achieve a fully autonomous mode; application scenarios are constantly expanding, playing a variety of important roles.
Not long ago, UBTECH released the industrial humanoid robot Walker S2. This robot, which is 1.76 meters tall, has 52 degrees of freedom and industrial-grade dexterous hands, can stably transport a 15 kg load within the entire space range of 0 to 1.8 meters, and complete flexible ground touching, squatting, long-distance grasping, and other actions. In addition, it also has the ability to work uninterrupted through autonomous battery replacement.
Different from the mechanical arms used in industrial scenarios, humanoid robots must have human-like physical "bodies" and then conduct adaptive perception and intelligent actions in the environment. They must also have the motor coordination ability of the "cerebellum" and the generalization and interaction ability of the "brain" in visual language actions, etc.
"Humanoid robots require the precise cooperation of dozens of joints throughout the body, involving the deep integration of multiple fields such as mechanical structure, drive system, sensing technology, control algorithms, and artificial intelligence. The shortcomings of any link will affect the overall performance," Jiao Jichao introduced.
The development of humanoid robot complete machines is a complex system engineering. It is extremely challenging to make humanoid robots understand instructions, understand the environment, and autonomously complete complex tasks. Taking the 100-meter sprint as an example, "throwing away the remote control" is not a simple function trade-off.
"The essence of remote control operation is to let the robot temporarily 'borrow' the human brain to complete environmental perception, path planning, and assist in dynamic balance control. The fully autonomous mode means that the robot needs to rely on itself to complete the 'perception-decision-execution' closed loop and autonomously respond to possible emergencies," an official from the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center (北京人形机器人创新中心) exemplified.
Humanoid robots cannot just be "sports athletes." In the past two years, many domestic humanoid robots have entered factories for "practical training." Jiao Jichao believes that "practical training" can give humanoid robots the opportunity to verify and optimize their performance in real environments, and can also accumulate a large amount of high-quality scenario data for algorithm training, industrial scenario model optimization, etc. "Currently, we have invested more than 100 industrial humanoid robots in practical training in actual factory environments, which can achieve 30%-40% of human-level efficiency."
Family life scenarios are another application scenario worth looking forward to. Compared with the "structured scenarios" of performing preset and fixed tasks in industry, families often face unstructured and complex life scenarios. "For example, elderly care robots can provide health management, remote care, and other functions in family scenarios," said Li Xuewei (李学威), general manager of the Medical Robot Division of Siasun (新松).
Liu Wei said that humanoid robots will play a variety of important roles in future society. In the production field, they will be an important supplement to the labor force. In the service industry, they can provide home services and educational counseling to meet the diverse needs of different groups of people. "Future humanoid robots will gradually realize human-machine collaboration and integration. They will not only work alone, but also work closely with humans."

Paleontological research continues to advance, with new fossil discoveries and new technological applications continuously providing clues to unraveling the mysteries of life's evolution.
Since Darwin proposed the theory of evolution, the academic debate about the relationship between dinosaurs and birds has continued, and paleontologists have tried to find evidence of bird evolution. From Huxley's initial proposal in the 19th century that birds may have originated from dinosaurs, to the discovery of a series of key fossil evidence in the late 20th century, scientists have gradually "pieced together" a magnificent picture of life evolution. In this long process of scientific exploration, Chinese paleontologists have made many breakthrough discoveries, providing solid evidence for the hypothesis that "birds originated from dinosaurs" and powerfully promoting human understanding of the evolution of natural life.
There are two key points to proving the evolutionary relationship between birds and dinosaurs: one is feathers, i.e., how did feathers evolve? The second is flight, i.e., how did birds evolve the ability to fly?
As early as the 1960s, Argentine scholars proposed that if dinosaurs evolved into birds, they should have feathers on their bodies. It was not until the 1990s that Chinese scientists successively discovered a large number of feathered dinosaur fossils in the Liaoxi area, and the hypothesis was confirmed. The "Gu's Microraptor" (顾氏小盗龙) fossil discovered in 2003, whose fore and hind limb distribution is similar to bird feathers, shows a key link in the formation of flight ability during the evolution of dinosaurs to birds. The Erlian Giant Thief Dragon (二连巨盗龙) fossil discovered in Inner Mongolia in 2005 is the largest feathered dinosaur to date, further confirming the key role of feathers in bird evolution, indicating that feathers are not unique to birds, but appeared and gradually developed in the dinosaur evolution stage. These fossils accurately and completely preserved exquisite feather structures, completely breaking the previous inherent perception that dinosaurs were "covered with scales."
Through the study of these fossils, scientists speculate that feathers may not have been initially used for flight, but for warmth or intra-species display. At the same time, comparing the skeletal structures of dinosaurs and early birds, such as the furcula, sternum, and forelimb joints, scientists have found that there is a high degree of similarity between the two—the claw structure of the Deinonychus and the flight feather arrangement of the Microraptor are almost identical to those of early birds such as Archaeopteryx. This continuity in skeletal structure also strongly supports the hypothesis that "birds originated from dinosaurs."
Breakthrough progress has also been made in the demonstration of flight evolution. We are cooperating with the Tsinghua University (清华大学) team to study the flight behavior of Microraptor using robots. Although some questions in this direction are still being explored, we have established the connection between dinosaurs and birds from morphology and function through systematic developmental analysis and anatomical research, clarifying that birds are an evolutionary branch of theropod dinosaurs.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, paleontological research has also gained new assistance. In the past, dinosaur fossils could only be found through traditional methods such as exploring fossil distribution through geological maps and referring to clues provided by local residents. Nowadays, we have also begun to use new methods such as satellite navigation data, geological data, and computer models to infer areas with dense fossil distribution and better find dinosaur fossils.
In addition, the combination and mutual verification of fossil evidence and multidisciplinary research also provide support for more accurately depicting this key branch on the "tree of life." For example, with the help of advanced technologies such as CT scanning and synchrotron radiation, we have been able to deeply observe the internal structure of fossils, "see through" fossils to see the bone growth lines of dinosaurs, the microscopic characteristics of feather imprints, etc., so as to more accurately reveal the gradual change process of physiological structures when dinosaurs evolved into birds; developmental biology, molecular biology and other disciplines are also deeply integrated with paleontology. By comparing the gene sequences of modern birds and dinosaurs, scientists have found that the genes that regulate feather development and flight ability have obvious evolutionary correlations, providing strong support from the molecular level for the "birds originated from dinosaurs" hypothesis.
Today, paleontological research is still advancing, and new fossil discoveries and new technological applications are continuously providing clues to unraveling the mysteries of life's evolution. At present, China has achieved fruitful research results in this field, which has greatly promoted human understanding of the evolution of life, allowing us to more clearly glimpse the mysteries of the development of life on Earth.
Those who do basic scientific research have this experience, which is the joy of scientific discovery. Of course, this process may be arduous, but this is also one of the charms of paleontology. The story of dinosaurs evolving into birds is only a part of the "epic" of the evolution of life on Earth, and there are more unknown answers waiting for us to explore in the future. And each exploration will allow us to more deeply understand the greatness of life and the miracle of nature.

Currently, "Artificial Intelligence +" serves thousands of industries. As the forefront of artificial intelligence technology applications, large models are providing strong support for industrial development. In the video large model application track, domestic large models are deeply integrated into the industry. What can video large models do? What is the future development trend? A Kuaishou (快手) artificial intelligence expert was interviewed.
"Simply put, artificial intelligence large models use massive data and huge computing power to train ultra-large-scale artificial neural networks through deep learning algorithms. They can be seen as 'energy blocks' or 'infrastructure' for artificial intelligence technology applications," said Gai Kun (盖坤), Senior Vice President of Kuaishou (快手), Head of the Keling AI Business Department, and Head of the Community Science Line.
Based on different application areas, large models can be divided into different types. For example, DeepSeek is a language large model, Panshi (磐石) belongs to a basic science large model, and Kuaishou (快手) Keling (可灵) is a typical video large model. Various domestic large models are showing their skills in government affairs, medical care, education and other fields with their respective advantages.
"As a video large model, Keling (可灵) serves the creation of video content in the AI era, and is committed to promoting the content industry towards intelligence, high efficiency, and low barriers to entry," Gai Kun (盖坤) said. Creators who use video large models can generate the content they want to shoot through algorithm-driven methods, without completely relying on camera lenses.
The key to using and using video large models well lies in their generation effect and controllability. Gai Kun (盖坤) cited an example, saying that based on the self-developed efficient model architecture and flow matching algorithm, Kuaishou (快手) Keling (可灵) effectively improves the simulation ability of physical laws and the response ability to complex user inputs, making character movements more in line with real logic, and the picture performance more time-consistent and structurally complete.
At present, AI video generation technology has been integrated and applied in advertising, e-commerce, short dramas, education and other fields, helping to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. Gai Kun (盖坤) said that taking an artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) short drama as an example, after Kuaishou (快手) Keling (可灵) assisted in the production, the overall drama production time is only about 1/3 of the traditional production time. The real implementation of video generation technology requires real payment verified by the market as a prerequisite. In the second quarter of 2025, Keling's (可灵) revenue exceeded 250 million yuan, of which nearly 70% was contributed by professional creators. More than 10 global video generation large models from around the world have been connected to the overseas creative platform Freepik. The number of videos generated by Kuaishou (快手) Keling (可灵) selected by global users exceeds the sum of those using other models, reflecting the advantages of the Chinese technology team in scene understanding, user experience, and other aspects.
Not long ago, the *Global Action Plan for the Governance of Artificial Intelligence* was released, emphasizing the promotion of the benevolent development and inclusive application of artificial intelligence. Gai Kun (盖坤) said that the current artificial intelligence video generation still faces technical challenges such as consistency and rationality, and we must also be vigilant about issues such as copyright attribution and the spread of false content. Only by simultaneously improving model capabilities and governance capabilities, and continuously improving governance mechanisms, can technology more safely and reliably serve industrial development.
Return to TopWherever there are people, there are songs of resistance.
Zhou Feiya (周飞亚)
More than 80 years ago, on the land of China (中华大地), there was a period when the flames of war tore through the sky and the smoke of gunpowder engulfed the mountains and rivers. The world seemed to be filled only with heavy breathing and boundless darkness.
A nation was forced to the edge of a cliff, about to fall into the abyss.
In this desperate situation, there was a sound, like lightning flashing across the night sky, piercing the darkness—not the roar of guns, but earth-shattering singing.
That was the common heartbeat of the Chinese people.
When the singing rang out, the sons and daughters of China found their "spear" and "shield"—the sharpest weapon was the awakened soul, and the most solid Great Wall was the indomitable spirit.
These songs were flowers blooming from wounds. The lyricists and composers stood on scorched earth, witnessing the fragmentation of mountains and rivers, hearing the cries of women and children, and what flowed from their pens was no longer ink, but scalding blood and tears. "Millions of glory, in an instant turned to ashes; infinite laughter, in the blink of an eye turned into desolation," even if "weeping farewell to the white mountains and black waters, traveling all over the Yellow River and the Yangtze River," how long can we "wander? Where can we escape?" The Yellow River is roaring, and our motherland is in turmoil. "Where is our home, where are our parents?"
These songs were sharp blades aimed at the enemy. Just think! When "Arise! Ye who refuse to be slaves!" was shouted, how many sleeping fighting spirits were immediately awakened, and how many numb hearts were instantly ignited. Old farmers in the fields hummed "The Big Sword March (大刀进行曲)," students on the streets held leaflets and sang "The National Salvation March (救亡进行曲)," mothers rocking cradles murmured "Sacrifice has reached the final moment," and soldiers on the front lines shouted from the trenches, "The final victory is ours"... The singing slipped through barbed wire, crossed blockades, and quietly took root in the rubble of the occupied areas. The vast ocean of national resistance was formed by these trickling sounds.
When the melody of "On the Taihang Mountains (在太行山上)" began, it was the awakening of thousands of mountains and valleys. "The red sun shines all over the East," this red sun did not rise from the horizon, but leaped from the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. The lyricist Gui Tao-sheng (桂涛声) walked in the mountains, hearing the symphony of woodcutters' chopping and the sound of bolts being pulled, seeing the same bright red of *Sandan* flowers and fresh blood. When the song "Mothers tell their sons to fight the Eastern devils, wives send their husbands to the battlefield" echoed in the valleys, the entire Taihang Mountains (太行山脉) became a loudspeaker, spreading the will to "fight to the end" and "return our rivers and mountains" to every corner of China.
"February is Coming (二月里来)," drifting from northern Shaanxi (陕北), carried the flavor of the water towns of Jiangnan (江南). The pastoral song of "every household is busy farming" written by Mr. Sai Ke (塞克) contained hidden secrets. "Hoping for a good harvest this year, donate more grain to replenish the military rations," "Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and harvest beans, whoever sows hatred will suffer themselves," the gentle and melodious tune hid an indomitable tenacity and a firm belief in the future.
These songs did not have fancy rhetoric; they were all plain language. But it was this plain language that struck people's hearts, allowing the common people to understand as soon as they heard it, to sing along as soon as they understood, and to gain strength as soon as they sang. Unity is strength. These songs twisted the Chinese people scattered in various places into one rope, thinking in one direction and exerting their strength in one direction.
"Wherever there are people, there are songs of resistance." In 1938, the painter Feng Zikai (丰子恺) wrote about his experiences "traveling from Zhejiang (浙江) through Jiangxi (江西) and Hunan (湖南) to Hankou (汉口)," expressing this sentiment: "Since the War of Resistance, the most courageous advance in art has been music. Literature has also developed, but it has no voice, it just lies quietly in bookstores, waiting for people to visit it. Drama has also developed, but it is limited by time and place, only people at a certain time and place can enjoy it. As for plastic arts (painting, sculpture, etc.), they are also subject to the same restrictions as the above two, and have not been able to develop universally. Only music is universal to all the people, like blood circulating throughout the body."
Like blood circulating throughout the body! Is there a more appropriate sentence? If the blood dries up, even the strongest body will lose its vitality.
Today, this "blood" is still circulating throughout the "body." Eighty years after the smoke of the War of Resistance against Japan dissipated, the blood is still hot.
Although the flames of war have subsided, the music continues.
When the singing rings out, I seem to see them again—those ancestors who held simple weapons but were not afraid. They sang and charged towards the enemy. It wasn't that they weren't afraid of death, but they knew that behind them were their homes, their relatives, their compatriots, and the future of the nation.
Lament of Exiles Inspires the Power of National Salvation
Wang Hongwei (王宏伟)
"One song of resistance against Japan is worth two divisions of troops!" Comrade Mao Zedong (毛泽东同志) once highly praised the immense power of songs of resistance against Japan. And "On the Songhua River (松花江上)" is such a timeless and soul-stirring classic.
"On the Songhua River" was composed by Zhang Han-hui (张寒晖) in 1936. It was sung by the masses during the War of Resistance against Japan, expressing the grief and indignation of the military and civilians who were exiled to Guannei (关内) after the fall of the Northeast (东北), their longing for their hometown, and their desire to recover the lost land. It also united the increasingly high anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese people. On December 31, 1937, Zhou Enlai (周恩来) spoke at Wuhan University (武汉大学) and said emotionally about this song: "Thousands upon thousands of young people have no home to return to, no education to seek, especially the young friends in the Northeast, who have been wandering and suffering the pain of the world. A song called 'On the Songhua River' truly breaks the hearts of those who are sad." This passage speaks volumes about the pain of the era behind the song.
Not just "On the Songhua River." Many of the popular songs of resistance against Japan at that time were "laments of exiles." The two songs "Leaving Home (离家)" and "Going to the Front (上前线)" composed by composer Liu Xue-an (刘雪庵), together with "On the Songhua River," are known as the "Exile Trilogy." There are also "Fight Back to Our Old Home (打回老家去)," "The Great Wall Ballad (长城谣)," "Nostalgia (思乡曲)"... all of which express the pain of losing one's home.
Home always touches the softest hearts of the Chinese people. Therefore, the lament of exile theme inspired the surging power of national salvation.
I have a deep and inextricable bond with "On the Songhua River." More than 30 years ago, I sang it for the first time at the PLA Academy of Art (解放军艺术学院). At that time, I did not have a deep understanding of the background, style, and theme of the work, and only felt that the melody was very sad. Later, through the teacher's explanation and my own research, I gradually understood the deep meaning and resonated deeply with the emotions in the song. At the commemorative gala for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, I sang this song again: facing more than 1,000 audience members, thinking of the tragic situation of the country being fragmented 70 years ago, the grief and indignation in my heart were indescribable, as if I was an exiled civilian; when I sang "Parents, parents, when will we be able to reunite..." I was even more moved to tears.
Today, I still treasure the replica of the performance costume at that time—a Chinese-style robe and a scarf, which I carefully store in the closet and often take out to look at. For me, this is not only a precious artistic memory, but also a constant reminder to always remember the responsibilities given by the times.
The core secret of why "On the Songhua River" can transcend time and space, be passed down from generation to generation, and become an immortal classic lies in: it uses melody to engrave the national suffering that cannot be forgotten, and uses singing to unite the common national feelings of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, allowing each generation of listeners to touch the temperature of history and draw the spiritual power to move forward. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, we should better sing classic works like "On the Songhua River," awaken the patriotic aspirations and aspirations of the new generation of young people, and let the red melody become a spiritual bond that transcends generations.

Playing the Strongest Sound of the War of Resistance
Xiang Yansheng (向延生)
"The unyielding roar of the Chinese nation," "a song of unity," "an eternal torch"... The song "Yellow River Cantata (黄河大合唱)" has received countless praises since its birth. It played the strongest sound of the War of Resistance and its magnificent, profound, and broad emotions have influenced generations of Chinese people.
And this song was also my "prenatal music."
In the spring of 1938, the Lu Xun Academy of Arts (鲁迅艺术学院) (Lu Yi), the first higher revolutionary art institution in China, was established in Yan'an (延安). The Red Army soldiers who came to Yan'an after the Long March, and the left-wing artists from Shanghai (上海) and other places, became the backbone of Lu Yi's school. My father, Xiang Yu (向隅), and my mother, Tang Rongmei (唐荣枚), studied at the National Conservatory of Music (国立音乐专科学校), the only higher music institution in China at that time. After the full outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan in 1937, they gave up the opportunity to study abroad and went to Yan'an. When the Music Department of Lu Yi was established, the left-wing musician Lü Ji (吕骥) served as the director of the department, and he and my parents were the only three teachers in the first two terms.
In the winter of 1938, under the arrangement of Comrade Zhou Enlai, Xian Xinghai (冼星海) came to Yan'an Lu Yi Music Department as a teacher in the third term. In early 1939, the Anti-Enemy Drama Team Three (抗敌演剧三队) crossed the Yellow River (黄河) to Yan'an. At the evening party held by the team on March 11, Guang Weiran (光未然) recited his long poem "Yellow River Ode (黄河吟)." The wonderful verses made all the listeners excited. Xian Xinghai, who got the lyrics, fell into a state of excitement and selflessness. For six days and six nights, the "Yellow River Resentment (黄河怨)" and "Yellow River Ode (黄河颂)" were revised several times, and finally, the classic work "Yellow River Cantata" was achieved.
After Xian Xinghai's guidance, on April 13, the Drama Team Three premiered "Yellow River Cantata" in Yan'an. My father and five students from the Music Department formed a small band to accompany them. Because there were only more than 20 people in the Drama Team Three, the performance did not achieve the desired effect. On May 11, at the evening party celebrating the first anniversary of the establishment of Lu Yi, Xian Xinghai conducted the Lu Yi choir of more than 100 people to sing "Yellow River Cantata," and organized a mixed Chinese and Western band of 16 people to serve as accompaniment. My father served as the band leader and the first violinist. At that time, the conditions were difficult. Whatever instruments were available were used as much as possible, and those that were not available were made by themselves—iron gasoline buckets were turned into double basses; a dozen iron spoons for eating were placed in large enamel basins as percussion instruments...
This performance was a great success. Since then, the song quickly spread to various anti-Japanese base areas, the Great Rear Area, and even overseas.
On July 1 of that year, I was born in Yan'an, and Chairman Mao (毛主席) personally named me "Yansheng (延生)." When I was in my mother's womb, I had already listened to "Yellow River Cantata" countless times with her—in Yan'an, my mother was the main singer of "Yellow River Resentment." In the decades after my birth, the song of "Yellow River Cantata" has always accompanied my growth. Even today, at this moment when I am writing these words, I still feel the unbreakable bond between myself and this song.
Many famous songs of resistance against Japan were also born in Yan'an, such as "The Anti-Japanese Military and Political University School Song (抗日军政大学校歌)," "Ode to Yan'an (延安颂)," "March of the Eighth Route Army (八路军进行曲)," "Red Tassels Spear (红缨枪)," "Nanniwan (南泥湾)," etc. I have been familiar with these songs since I was a child, and they are also widely circulated. But in my heart, "Yellow River Cantata" is always different.
I once saw a sentence: Our blood vessels are the tributaries of the Yellow River. It can be said that "Yellow River Cantata" has become a symbolic symbol of national spirit since the era of its birth. It played the strongest sound of the War of Resistance and sang the unstoppable momentum of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Inspiring the Belief in Victory
Chai Zhiying (柴志英)
In the cold winter night of 1937, the window of an old villager's house in Liuzhuang (刘庄) reflected the light. In the quiet courtyard, passers-by heard a "ding—" sound from inside the door. Everyone knew that it was the composer He Luting (贺绿汀) writing a song. He was tuning the music by tapping the tuning fork on his head and listening to it by his ear.
For several months, He Luting participated in the Shanghai Literary and Art Circles Anti-Japanese National Salvation Drama Team One (上海文艺界抗日救亡演剧一队), starting from the sound of gunfire, running around in the war, traveling through Nanjing (南京), Wuhan (武汉), Zhengzhou (郑州), and Xi'an (西安), performing along the way to mobilize the whole people to resist Japan, and came to Liuzhuang in Linfen (临汾), Shanxi (山西). This is where the Eighth Route Army's Office in Jin (八路军驻晋办事处) was located, and it was also the founding place of the Eighth Route Army's Military Academy and the General Headquarters Artillery Regiment. Peng Xuefeng (彭雪枫), the director of the office, gave them a report on guerrilla tactics: in dense forests, on hillsides, by streams, and on roadsides; advancing and retreating freely, feinting to the east and attacking the west, defeating the many with the few, and defeating the strong with the weak... The vivid narration brewed new ideas in the composer's mind.
Hearing that a group of soldiers were about to go to the front line, everyone suggested writing a song to encourage them. Sai Ke, Ding Li (丁里), Cui Wei (崔嵬), and He Luting gathered in the villager's coal shed to discuss and believed that it was more appropriate to create a song reflecting guerrilla warfare. He Luting was the only composer present, and the task of drafting and composing the lyrics fell on him.
The kerosene lamp was flickering, the sense of mission was sublimating, and the accumulation in his chest was surging. Like a restless fetus, musical thoughts gushed out, and sentences of lyrics and music jumped onto the paper: "We are all sharpshooters, each bullet eliminates an enemy..."
The next morning, the playwright Ouyang Shanzun (欧阳山尊) returned from a night out and the composer sleeping on the heated kang jumped up and excitedly told him: "The Guerrilla Song (游击队歌) is finished!" Subsequently, He Luting took the song and sang it to the office secretary and the music teacher of the Military Academy, Zhou Weizhi (周巍峙), and immediately received the order to teach it to the Military Academy, and the students liked it very much.
The vivid description of guerrilla warfare life in the lyrics is full of revolutionary optimism, especially "No food, no clothes, the enemy will send them to us; no guns, no cannons, the enemy will make them for us," which was unanimously praised. This song quickly spread in various anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, and expanded to anti-Japanese battlefields across the country, encouraging many passionate young people to join the army and go behind enemy lines.
The international communist fighter Dr. Bethune (白求恩大夫) often hummed "The Guerrilla Song" on the march, and the American officer Carlson (卡尔逊), who came to study guerrilla warfare, not only loved to sing it himself, but also mentioned and quoted the lyrics many times in his book "China's Twin Stars (中国的双星)" which introduced the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
"The Guerrilla Song," together with songs such as "Our Iron Cavalry (我们的铁骑兵)," "Artillery March (炮兵进行曲)," and "Let the Landmines Live (让地雷活起来)," vividly depicts various forms of combat in the War of Resistance. There are also a large number of marches in the songs of the War of Resistance, such as "March of the Volunteers (义勇军进行曲)," "The Big Sword March," "March of the Eighth Route Army," etc. Like "The Guerrilla Song," these songs, like battle horns, were played in different stages and situations of the war, inspiring morale and encouraging people. "The Guerrilla Song" was born in the most difficult stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but with its lively and cheerful melody and optimistic and humorous lyrics, it inspired the belief in victory and is a cultural treasure recorded in the heroic history of the Chinese nation's resistance against Japan.
The horns are majestic, and the war songs are loud, echoing in our hearts forever.

Heroic Praise That Touches the Heartstrings
Li Shiyuan (李诗原)
The Jin-Cha-Ji (晋察冀) anti-Japanese fire left behind many touching heroic stories and moving songs commemorating the martyrs. "The Cowherd Wang Erxiao (歌唱二小放牛郎)" is one of them: "The cows are still grazing on the hillside, but the cowherd is gone. It's not that he's playing and lost the cow, that cowherd Wang Erxiao..."
This song tells the story of a little anti-Japanese hero. The Japanese army got lost while "mopping up" the mountains, and the cowherd Wang Erxiao cleverly and bravely led the devils into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army. The enemy discovered that they had been deceived and killed Erxiao.
The narrators of this story are the "golden partners" of song creation from the Northwest War Service Corps (西北战地服务团) at that time—lyricist Fang Bing (方冰) and composer Li Jiefu (李劫夫).
In the late autumn and early winter of 1941, the Northwest War Zone Service Troupe, which performed for the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region, returned from the front line of the anti-"mopping-up" campaign to the village at the junction of Pingshan County (平山县) and Lingshou County (灵寿县), Hebei Province (河北省), for rest and reorganization. One day, Fang Bing (方冰) and Li Jiefu (李劫夫) sat in front of a house destroyed by the enemy, recalling the combat experience of the anti-"mopping-up" campaign. Moved by the heroic stories of the anti-"mopping-up" campaign, they were overwhelmed with emotion and decided to create a group of songs to sing about heroes and commemorate martyrs. Soon, they launched "The Ballad of Little Erxiao the Cowherd," "Wang He's Serenade," and "Song of the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain."
These three songs quickly spread locally. The image of the heroes inspired countless soldiers and civilians in the War of Resistance. Among them, "The Ballad of Little Erxiao the Cowherd" was the most widely circulated and deeply loved by the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. On January 1, 1942, the *Jin-Cha-Ji Daily* (《晋察冀日报》) published the song on the fourth edition, marked as "One of the Heroic Stories Songs of Jin-Cha-Ji." Since then, the song has spread throughout Jin-Cha-Ji and the whole country, becoming a classic children's song of the 20th century. When it was published in the *Jin-Cha-Ji Daily*, the song title was "The Ballad of Little Erxiao," and its tune was slightly different from the present. Today's "The Ballad of Little Erxiao the Cowherd" has been adjusted from "The Ballad of Little Erxiao," so that the emotion of the music has a feeling of constantly rising, and it is more smooth to sing.
Different from "Song of the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" and "Wang He's Serenade," "The Ballad of Little Erxiao the Cowherd" was not created based on specific real people and events, but a collection of stories and images of many anti-Japanese little heroes in Jin-Cha-Ji, reflecting artistic truth.
The reason why "The Ballad of Little Erxiao the Cowherd" can spread widely and maintain a lasting artistic charm is that, in addition to its simple and approachable melody, it also tells a complete story as a narrative song. In order to tell this story well, the composer adopted the "strophic song" form, so that the seven structurally identical lyrics share a simple melody of introduction, development, turning point, and conclusion. In this way, listeners can memorize the lyrics by using the constantly repeating melody as a "crutch," and can also memorize the melody by reciting the structurally identical lyrics, making it easy to sing and learn. Its melody uses the Hebei folk song "Duì Huā" (对花), avoiding auditory strangeness.
Children are synonymous with happiness and the hope of the future. Countless revolutionary predecessors shed their blood and sacrificed themselves, just to allow future children to grow up carefree? But in that era, children were already fighting and sacrificing like adults. Such stories particularly touch people's hearts. Songs of the same period, such as "The Ballad of Little Erxiao the Cowherd" and "Little Girl of Jin-Cha-Ji," turned the artistic perspective to children in war. Through the sacrifice of a child, it shows the harm of war to thousands of children, thus arousing strong resonance.
Songs commemorate the heroes, and artistic charm lasts forever. With the wide spread of "The Ballad of Little Erxiao the Cowherd," this children's song has been adapted into songs of different singing forms, compiled into instrumental music, and the story it tells has also been written into textbooks and made into movies. Today, "Wang Erxiao" (王二小) has become a real existence, a "living" hero.
