"The Party School exists because of the Party, and it is a matter of course that the Party School bears the Party's name. Adhering to the Party's name is the fundamental principle of the Party School's work and the fundamental guideline for doing a good job in the Party School"... In December 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) delivered an important speech at the National Party School Work Conference, focusing closely on adhering to the Party School's name and profoundly answering a series of major issues concerning the long-term development of the Party School's cause.
Since the new era, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, the Party School (Academy of Administration) has deeply studied and implemented Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, firmly remembering "the Party School bears the Party's name" as the foundation for running the school, doing a good job in preaching, teaching, and dispelling doubts in the new era, doing a good job in exploring laws and applying them to the world, and letting the Party's flag fly high in the Party School.
Cultivating a High-Quality Cadre Team Capable of Undertaking the Great Task of National Rejuvenation
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out at the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Central Party School (中央党校) and the opening ceremony of the 2023 spring semester: "In the new era and new journey, our Party must unite and lead the people to create a new situation in the development of the cause, and we must cultivate a high-quality cadre team capable of undertaking the great task of national rejuvenation. In this regard, the Party School has a major and unshirkable responsibility."
Theoretical maturity is the foundation of political maturity, and political firmness stems from theoretical clarity.
Opening the teaching arrangement opinions for the autumn semester of 2025 of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), the measures to promote Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into textbooks, classrooms, and minds run through the entire process—
Enriching and supplementing the lecture topics of the three teaching units of theoretical lectures, practical interpretations, and case teaching of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era; continuing to offer the course "Studying and Implementing General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) Important Exposition on Strengthening the Party's Style of Work and the Spirit of the Eight-Point Regulation" in the main classes with a study period of more than one month; making good use of the newly published "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era Curriculum System and Teaching Outline (for the Education and Training of Party Members and Cadres)"...
Party spirit education is a compulsory course for communists to cultivate their morality and is also the "mind learning" of communists.
In September 2020, in the lobby on the first floor of the auditorium of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), all the students of the training class for bureau-level civil servants (the 7th session) gathered here to hold a special "birthday party."
"I volunteer to join the Communist Party of China, uphold the Party's program, and abide by the Party's constitution..." Facing the bright red Party flag, all Party members reviewed the oath of joining the Party, celebrated their "political birthday," questioned their original intentions, and strengthened their beliefs.
In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has enriched and improved the "Teaching Outline for Party Spirit Education of the Communist Party of China," organized students to conduct experiential teaching in Shanghai (上海), Fujian (福建), Yan'an (延安) in Shaanxi (陕西), arranged student forums with the theme of "Establishing a Correct View of Power, Performance, and Career," newly established "Hero Model" reports, and organized open-book examinations on Party constitution, Party regulations, and Party discipline for main classes with a study period of more than one month.
The purpose of learning lies entirely in application.
"How to correctly understand the socialist nature of Chinese-style modernization?"
"What is the 'historically correct side,' and how can we firmly stand on the 'historically correct side'?"
"Compared with Western democracy, what are the characteristics and advantages of whole-process people's democracy?"
…………
All along, students have been required to bring two questions when they register: one "hot issue of concern to cadres and the masses" and one "ideological and theoretical issue that they hope the Central Party School (中央党校) will answer." The questions brought by the students are collected uniformly, categorized and compiled into a book, and sent to the corresponding lecturers, who will answer them in class.
"Xiaogang Village (小岗村) has deepened the reform of the rural collective property rights system in recent years, taking the form of share cooperation as the main form, quantifying the assets of the rural collective unified management and operation into shares to individuals and households, and strengthening the village-level collective economy."
In April 2023, at the national video training class for village Party branch secretaries and village committee directors, Zhou Qunzhi (周群之), secretary of the Party committee and director of the village committee of Xiaogang Village (小岗村) in Fengyang County (凤阳县), Anhui (安徽),娓娓道來 (wěiwěi dào lái - "to narrate slowly," to explain something in a detailed and unhurried manner) the development experience of the village. During the four-and-a-half-day period, 513,000 trainees across the country discussed and exchanged methods and paths to promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside in the main classroom in Beijing (北京) and 3,568 branch classrooms in various places.
Lecture-style teaching, case-style teaching, discussion-style teaching, simulation-style teaching... The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) innovates teaching methods and enriches teaching methods, so that Party School courses can be truly used by students.
The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee proposed: "Improve the normalized training mechanism, especially the basic training mechanism, strengthen professional training and practical training, and comprehensively improve the ability of cadres to build modernization."
The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), together with the Organization Department of the Central Committee, standardizes the basic training classes and curriculum settings of local Party Schools (Academies of Administration), carries out large-scale and all-round training in a hierarchical and classified manner, and promotes more systematic and in-depth theoretical education, more soul-touching Party spirit education, and more precise and efficient capacity training.
In 2024, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), together with relevant departments, completed the full coverage of centralized training on the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee for more than 2,000 centrally-administered cadres, and covered nearly 700,000 leading cadres of central departments, enterprises, and universities through simultaneous live broadcasts; held 136 main classes such as training classes for young and middle-aged cadres, advanced study classes for centrally-administered cadres, and advanced study classes for bureau-level cadres; and conducted full coverage training for township Party committee secretaries, street Party organization secretaries, etc. through simultaneous live broadcasts.

See and make it clear, listen and make it smart, think and make it right.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) profoundly pointed out: "Only by clarifying and understanding some major issues from the ideological and theoretical level can the Party School's education and training be truly done well."
In the north square of the main building of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), the statue of Marx called "Comrades-in-Arms" and the standing statue of Engels are eye-catching.
On December 26, 2015, with the approval of the Party Central Committee, the Marxist College of the Central Party School (中央党校马克思主义学院) was established, mainly responsible for the research, decision-making consultation, and related discipline teaching and research work on Marxist theory, major theoretical and practical issues in reform and opening up and socialist modernization.
On January 15, 2018, with the approval of the Party Central Committee, the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era Research Center of the Central Party School (中央党校习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想研究中心) was established, whose main responsibility is to strengthen the research and interpretation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and promote the Party's theoretical construction and theoretical innovation.
Relying on the theoretical research position, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) continues to strengthen the systematization and academic interpretation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era—
Building academic exchange platforms such as the "Chinese Discourse" high-end forum, the National Governance Forum, and the Chinese-style Modernization Forum;
Holding a series of seminars on studying and implementing Xi Jinping's (习近平) Economic Thought, Xi Jinping's (习近平) Ecological Civilization Thought, and Xi Jinping's (习近平) Diplomatic Thought;
Completing the major commissioned project "Research on the Major Original Contributions of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" and carrying out "Research on Xi Jinping's (习近平) Thoughts and Practices during his Work in Fujian (福建)";
…………
In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has continued to carry out research on major theoretical issues, contributing wisdom and strength to continuously deepen the understanding of the Communist Party's governance laws, socialist construction laws, and human social development laws, and continuously write new chapters in the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
"Why are we full of confidence in the future? Because each of us is with the motherland at all times..." In 2020, the first season of the Party School's public class "Together with the Motherland" swept the Internet. Six young and middle-aged teachers from the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), combined with their personal growth experiences and research fields, brought a refreshing knowledge feast with solid theoretical foundation and vivid expression.
From "Together with the Motherland" to "Ten 'Whys' of Ten Years," "Reading the 75-Year Development Code of China," and then to "New Impulses of China's Economy in 2025"... The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has successively launched 13 seasons of Party School public classes, with a total playback volume of over 1 billion. Netizens praised: "Party School products are definitely high-quality products!"
In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has published more than 400 articles in authoritative newspapers and periodicals in the name of the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era Research Center, published books such as the "Questions of the New Era" series and "100 Keywords of Chinese-style Modernization," and launched 16 lectures on the spirit of the 20th National Congress on the "Online Party School" platform; experts and scholars have given lectures in various regions, departments, and units to promote the Party's innovative theories to "fly into the homes of ordinary people."
As an important force on the Party's ideological and theoretical front, the Party School undertakes the important responsibility of offering suggestions to the Party.
In 2015, the Central Party School (中央党校) was included in the pilot list of national high-end think tank construction; in 2018, the Central Party School (中央党校) and the National Academy of Administration (国家行政学院) merged... Since the new era, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has continuously increased its characteristic disciplines and expanded its research fields, forming new advantages conducive to playing the role of a think tank.
How can Longyuan (陇原), known as "the most bitter place in the world," be revitalized? How can the Dulong (独龙族) ethnic group "leap over a thousand years in one step"? How can Xiadang (下党) in Ningde (宁德), Fujian (福建) "fly high as a weak bird"? How has Minning Town (闽宁镇) in Ningxia (宁夏) transformed from a dry sandy beach in the past to a golden sandy beach today?
In 2024, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) and the Central Propaganda Department (中宣部) jointly promoted the major special project of collecting and sorting out oral materials on the "historical achievements and historical changes" in the new era, restoring the historical picture of the Communist Party of China solving the problem of absolute poverty that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
Building honest words and offering good strategies... The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) formulated the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Construction of Think Tanks," held centralized press conferences on the achievements of the yearbook for two consecutive years, submitted internal references, research reports, think tank reports, and other decision-making consultation information to relevant central departments through various channels, and encouraged students to participate in offering suggestions to the Party and serving the Party and the country's cause.
Inheriting the Glorious Traditions and Fine Style of the Party School
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The Party School is a hall for inheriting the Party's spiritual bloodline and a place that the vast number of Party members and cadres yearn for. This requires the Party School to be much higher than ordinary schools in strictly governing the school and establishing the school with quality, and to follow the strictest political standards, academic standards, teaching standards, and management standards to ensure that it always remembers its original intention and fulfills its mission."
In September 2023, the Party Central Committee issued the revised "Regulations on Cadre Education and Training Work," clarifying "establishing and improving the laws and regulations of cadre education and training and promoting the standardized management of cadre education and training";
In August 2025, the Party Central Committee issued the revised "Regulations on the Work of Party Schools (Academies of Administration) of the Communist Party of China," expanding "school spirit and academic style construction" to "school spirit, teaching style, and academic style construction," and adding "adhering to the concept of system" as a working principle;
…………
With the introduction of a series of documents, the atmosphere of learning, simplicity, and clarity is constantly filling.
During the study period at the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), organizers are responsible for the management and supervision throughout the process, and the temporary Party branches of the students conduct self-management.
"It is not allowed to publish remarks that are inconsistent with the Party's theories and guidelines and policies," "It is not allowed to violate scientific research integrity and encroach on other people's academic achievements," "It is not allowed to ask students to handle private affairs for personal gain, or to have dinners and drink alcohol with students on campus"... In January 2024, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) issued "Seven Prohibitions" for staff, putting forward clear requirements from strictly abiding by political discipline, adhering to academic integrity, maintaining a clean relationship with students, keeping work secrets, obeying organizational arrangements, maintaining the reputation of the Party School, and adhering to teacher ethics and style.
In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has formulated and revised management regulations on teaching staff going out to give lectures, participating in academic activities, accepting media interviews, as well as internal audits of the school (academy) and attendance of teaching staff, guiding teaching staff to concentrate on learning, sincerely ask questions, and carefully educate people.
The Party School is not an ordinary school, and the education and training objects of the Party School are not ordinary students. This "unusual" also has unusual requirements for the Party School's teachers.
At the end of March this year, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) held a collective lesson preparation meeting to study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important exposition on strengthening the Party's style of work and the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulation. At the meeting, five teachers made speeches from the aspects of lesson preparation ideas, teaching framework, case selection, and teaching methods.
This is a microcosm of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) improving the effectiveness of collective lesson preparation. Teachers whose teaching evaluation scores are lower than a certain score must re-prepare lessons, improve shortcomings, and return to the podium after passing the trial lecture. In the past two years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has organized dozens of school-wide collective lesson preparation meetings around the teaching of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
Grasping collective lesson preparation with one hand and teacher training with the other. The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) organizes teachers who teach special courses on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to carry out teaching training on tracing the source, organizes teachers who teach special courses on Party spirit education to carry out teaching training in relevant cadre colleges, and organizes teachers who teach training classes for ethnic cadres to conduct teaching research in ethnic areas, promoting the continuous improvement of teaching level.
The Party School (Academy of Administration) is a system, and improving the overall function must adhere to the concept of the system, strengthen overall coordination, and integrate resources and forces. In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), together with the Organization Department of the Central Committee, has completed the quality assessment of the running of provincial Party Schools (Academies of Administration), provided counterpart assistance to Party Schools in ethnic areas, promoted the classified construction of county-level Party Schools in accordance with local conditions, and established a long-term mechanism for backbone teachers of local Party Schools to follow classes for training. In 2024, it undertook 17 sessions of teacher training classes for the Party School (Academy of Administration) system, training more than 50,000 students.
Embarking on a new journey and setting sail again. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, the Party School (Academy of Administration) will surely keep in mind its original intention of cultivating talents for the Party and offering suggestions to the Party, inherit the glorious traditions and fine style of the Party School, and make new and greater contributions to comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.

Promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of economic and social development is a crucial aspect of achieving high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized the need to coordinate industrial structure adjustment, pollution control, ecological protection, and climate change response, synergistically promoting carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and carrying out ecological civilization construction in an all-round, all-regional, and all-process manner.
In 10 minutes, a forest ranger plants a Korean pine. Protecting and expanding greenery, in the Horqin Sandy Land (科尔沁沙地) of Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), ecological restoration and comprehensive management are turning the sandy sea into an oasis.
In 10 minutes, a salt marsh ecosystem produces an average of 2 tons of carbon sinks. Generating wealth from greenery, along the coast of Xiangshan County (象山县), Zhejiang (浙江), blue carbon resources allow fishermen to earn an "ecological living."
In 10 minutes, an unmanned electric truck delivers a load of goods. Pursuing and promoting greenery, at the Seres (赛力斯) Super Factory in Liangjiang New Area (两江新区), Chongqing (重庆), component transportation achieves zero-carbon emissions, and the construction of green factories is accelerating.
Recently, reporters from this newspaper went to Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), Zhejiang (浙江), and Chongqing (重庆) to conduct research, and the practice of "renovating" mountains and rivers and "greening" industries is evident everywhere. Various regions are thoroughly studying and implementing Xi Jinping's (习近平) thought on ecological civilization, firmly establishing and practicing the concept that **绿水青山就是金山银山** (lǜ shuǐ qīng shān jiù shì jīn shān yín shān - "green mountains and clear water are gold and silver mountains," the idea that environmental protection and economic development are mutually reinforcing), accelerating the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and striding towards modernization where humans and nature coexist in harmony.
Strengthening ecological protection and restoration, the ecological environment is getting better and better.
A good ecological environment is the fairest public product and the most inclusive benefit for the people's livelihood. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "We must adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasslands, and build a grand pattern of protection and management from mountain tops to the ocean."
In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (长江), in Fengjie County (奉节县), Chongqing (重庆), the straw and branches floating on the river surface are quickly discovered by patrol cleaning boats and "swallowed" into the cabin.
Fengjie (奉节) is located at the entrance of the Three Gorges (三峡), and its special terrain often leads to the retention of floating objects such as garbage. The local area coordinates ship-shore cameras, patrol drones, and satellite remote sensing to achieve digital minute-level early warning of floating objects in key water areas. "Once garbage is discovered, the command center immediately dispatches cleaning boats to intercept it accurately and efficiently, preventing pollution from entering the Yangtze River (长江)," said Wu Fuchun (吴福春), director of the Fengjie County (奉节县) Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Management Office.
Scientific cleaning, jointly protecting the Yangtze River (长江). Chongqing (重庆) is building a solid ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (长江), and is promoting the "three water co-governance" in a coordinated manner. The water quality of the Chongqing (重庆) section of the Yangtze River (长江) has been excellent for eight consecutive years.
On the coast of the East China Sea (东海), in Yanpu Bay (沿浦湾), Cangnan County (苍南县), Zhejiang (浙江), on the sea surface of the 6,200-mu ecological aquaculture area, fiberglass stands tall, reflecting colorful light and shadow in the sun.
"Seaweed is the 'money bag' of our coastal fishermen. In the past, we used bamboo poles for cultivation. We made money, but the environment was polluted," said Zhang Nengkai (张能凯), a farmer. Bamboo needs to be replaced every year and is often thrown into the sea to rot and stink. The local area promoted the "Blue Bay" renovation action, and the village collective funded the construction of a fiberglass pole aquaculture area, which was rented to farmers for use. "Fiberglass is wind-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can be used for a long time. The environment is better, and the yield and quality of seaweed have also improved," said Zhang Nengkai (张能凯).
Zhejiang (浙江), which has a coastline of 6,715 kilometers, is promoting renovation and restoration in response to problems such as damaged natural coastlines and damaged marine ecological environments, and is building beautiful bays with "one bay, one policy."
In the northern Xinjiang grassland, in the Hulechuan (敕勒川) of Hohhot (呼和浩特), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), the grass sea undulates with the wind.
This place used to be a barren stony beach ravaged by yellow sand. In order to restore the beautiful scenery of the grassland, ecological restoration was carried out. "At that time, many people thought that planting grass in a pile of stones would not work," said Wang Junfang (王君芳), head of the achievement transformation department of Mengcao Group (蒙草集团), which undertook the restoration task. The team carefully selected plant species and improved the soil and rebuilt vegetation through a combination of artificial intervention and natural restoration. "The number of grassland plants has increased from more than 20 in the early stage of restoration to more than 70 now, and the yield of hay, carbon sequestration, and oxygen release have been greatly improved," Wang Junfang (王君芳) said. The diversity and stability of the Hulechuan (敕勒川) grassland ecosystem have been significantly improved.
Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) is vigorously promoting afforestation and grass planting, sand prevention and control, and actively implementing the construction tasks of the "Three-North" project. The three major desert locking forest and grass belts of Badain Jaran (巴丹吉林), Tengger (腾格里), and Ulan Buh (乌兰布和) have all been closed.
"We adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasslands, and the quality of the ecological environment continues to improve." Sun Shao Cheng (孙绍骋), Secretary of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区) Party Committee, said that it will take the battle to win the "Three-North" project as the traction, strengthen ecosystem protection and restoration, and build a solid northern important ecological security barrier.
Accelerating low-carbon development, the industrial structure is becoming more and more optimized.
Green development is the background color of high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "Focus on building a green, low-carbon, and circular economic system, accelerate the formation of an industrial structure with high technological content, low resource consumption, and less environmental pollution, and substantially increase the greening level of the economy."
Industrial greening——
The bright and clean drone manufacturing plant was still a high-temperature furnace and chimney more than a year ago. The secret to transformation and upgrading lies in "**腾笼换鸟**" (téng lóng huàn niǎo - "empty the cage and replace the bird," restructuring the economy by replacing old industries with new ones).
In the low-altitude economic supporting industrial park in Yuecheng District (越城区), Shaoxing City (绍兴市), Zhejiang (浙江), a medium and large fixed-wing drone has just been assembled. "The assembly and delivery of the company's unmanned system in East China is completed here," said Yao Xingyu (姚星宇), deputy general manager of Zhejiang Dapeng Zongheng Drone Technology Co., Ltd. (浙江大鹏纵横无人机科技有限公司).
"This place used to be a high-energy-consuming and high-emission glass factory. We promoted the green transformation of the industrial structure and carried out 'secondary development' of the land to lay out a new track for the low-altitude economy," said Ding Yujue (丁裕珏), head of the Investment Section of the Yuecheng District (越城区) Economic and Information Bureau. By introducing related projects and implementing new technologies such as unmanned systems and solid-state batteries, the added value energy consumption per unit of the industrial park has dropped from 6 tons of standard coal/10,000 yuan to 0.05 tons of standard coal/10,000 yuan.
Energy to new——
The busy production line with a daily output of 30,000 battery cells achieves zero-carbon emissions. The answer to green and low-carbon lies in "unlimited scenery."
Rows of photovoltaic panels are arranged in a staggered manner, and wind turbines are running day and night, driving green power to the Ordos Zero-Carbon Industrial Park (鄂尔多斯零碳产业园) in Mengsu Economic Development Zone (蒙苏经济开发区), Ejin Horo Banner (伊金霍洛旗), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), not far away.
"The zero-carbon industrial park uses renewable energy for production and reduces and offsets carbon emissions through technological energy conservation," said Cui Yongping (崔永平), director of the Mengsu Economic Development Zone (蒙苏经济开发区) Management Committee. The park is equipped with a 385,000-kilowatt wind-solar-storage integrated project, attracting 10 companies in the fields of photovoltaics and hydrogen energy to settle in, and the annual output value of the new energy industry exceeds 20 billion yuan.
Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) was once a "big user" of traditional energy utilization. In recent years, it has optimized the development and utilization of energy resources and vigorously developed new energy and clean energy. In the first half of this year, the total installed capacity of new energy reached 145 million kilowatts, accounting for 52% of the total installed capacity.
Resource efficiency——
In the high-rise buildings of Jiangbeizui Central Business District (江北嘴中央商务区), Chongqing (重庆), there is not a single air conditioner outdoor unit. The secret of resource utilization lies in "a river of clear water."
"The Yangtze River (长江) water is a 'natural air conditioner'. We use the characteristics of the river water being warm in winter and cool in summer to supply cooling or heating through heat pump technology," said Wang Jing (王晶), deputy general manager of the New Energy Service Branch of Chongqing Cuntan Port City Development Co., Ltd. (重庆寸滩港城发展有限公司). "Water air conditioners" have less noise and air pollution, and can save about 52,000 kilowatts of electricity installed capacity and reduce emissions of about 60,000 tons per year.
Floating objects salvaged from the Yangtze River (长江) are used as fuel, and the slag from the incineration of domestic waste is used for paving roads... In Chongqing (重庆), the practice of "turning waste into treasure" and "**点废成金**" (diǎn fèi chéng jīn - "turn waste into gold," to make something valuable out of something worthless) is constantly emerging.
"We improve green efficiency with resource recycling and develop a circular economy." Hu Henghua (胡衡华), Deputy Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, said that Chongqing (重庆) is promoting circular production of enterprises, circular operation of parks, and circular connection of industries around reduction, reuse, and resource utilization. It has built 170 national-level green factories and 16 green parks. In the first half of this year, the comprehensive utilization rate of bulk industrial solid waste reached 79.4%.
Innovative transformation mechanism, the path is getting wider and wider.
A good ecological environment contains infinite economic value. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "We must broaden the path of transforming green waters and green mountains into gold and silver mountains," "Promote ecological industrialization and industrial ecology, cultivate a large number of ecological products to enter the market, and continuously transform ecological advantages into development advantages."
Protecting green to exchange for gold, developing in protection and protecting in development.
In Fuxing Town (复兴镇), Arong Banner (阿荣旗), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), the aroma of mushrooms in the mountains is unique. Villagers skillfully sort and remove impurities from freshly picked mushrooms, and pack them into baskets according to variety and grade. "There are treasures everywhere in the forest area. I can pick up to 50 kilograms a day, which can be sold for more than 700 yuan," said Yan Zhiyou (闫志友), a villager.
Increasing green is increasing advantages, and protecting forests is protecting wealth. In the Horqin Sandy Land (科尔沁沙地), characteristic industries such as sea buckthorn, apples, and Acer truncatum bring more income; in Arxan (阿尔山), southwest of the Greater Khingan Mountains (大兴安岭), 81.2% forest coverage breeds emerging tourism formats such as hiking and health preservation... Developing forest food, building forest eco-tourism areas, and exploring forestry carbon sinks, Inner Mongolia's (内蒙古) forestry and grass industry has achieved a double harvest of ecological and economic benefits, with an output value exceeding 100 billion yuan last year.
Adding green to increase gold, expanding the beautiful economy in accordance with local conditions.
Along the winding mountain road of Zhonghua Village (中华村), Jingguan Town (静观镇), Beibei District (北碚区), Chongqing (重庆), the mountains are full of greenery. In the past, villagers relied on quarrying for a living, and the mountains were covered with dust. By guiding and encouraging the closure of mines and planting fruit trees, the ecological environment of Zhonghua Village (中华村) has been gradually restored.
Today, "abandoned mines + characteristic homestays" attract a large number of tourists. "I hired a designer to develop a mountain forest-themed homestay, with an annual turnover of more than 5 million yuan, absorbing nearly 30 villagers from the surrounding area for employment," said Zhou Song (周松), a villager.
As of now, Chongqing (重庆) has restored more than 7,000 hectares of mines and implemented more than 1.9 million mu of the "Green Mountains on Both Sides, Thousand Miles of Forest Belt" project. New achievements have been made in ecological protection and restoration, and ecological advantages have been continuously transformed into industrial advantages.
Turning green into gold, improving the realization mechanism of ecological product value.
In Anji County (安吉县), Zhejiang (浙江), three carbon flux monitoring towers continue to work, measuring the value of carbon dioxide absorbed and stored by the bamboo forest all over the mountains. Carrying out bamboo forest carbon sink reform and innovating the carbon sink storage mechanism, the tradable carbon sink volume per hectare of bamboo forest in Anji (安吉) reaches 5.85 tons, and "bamboo forest air" has become real money.
Creating "Two Mountains Cooperatives," promoting the realization of water ecological product value, and implementing geological ecological product value transformation and trading projects... Anji (安吉) is actively exploring the path to realize the value of ecological products, and the transformation channel between green waters and green mountains and gold and silver mountains is constantly widening. In 2024, through the realization of the value of ecological products, about 91% of administrative villages (rural communities) in Anji (安吉) directly distributed 852 million yuan in dividends.
Zhejiang (浙江) has formulated and revised provincial ecosystem gross product accounting standards, improved the green financial mechanism, and empowered the transformation of ecological value with socialized capital and market-oriented methods. Wang Hao (王浩), Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, said that he will adhere to drawing a blueprint to the end, thoroughly implement the concept that green waters and green mountains are gold and silver mountains, and unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development.

Taking photos and interacting with popular IPs, being the first to acquire limited-edition figurines, experiencing unique delicacies... The Pop Mart City Park (泡泡玛特城市乐园) located in Chaoyang Park (朝阳公园) in Beijing (北京), with its unique IP charm and immersive experience, attracts a large number of tourists to check in, becoming another new landmark for the integration of culture, commerce, tourism, and sports consumption in Beijing (北京).
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that it is necessary to promote the high-quality development of the cultural industry, improve the modern cultural industry system and market system, promote the development and growth of various cultural market entities, cultivate new cultural formats and cultural consumption models, and enhance people's cultural gains and happiness with high-quality cultural supply.
To implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important instructions, Chaoyang District (朝阳区) in Beijing (北京) has, in recent years, leveraged the advantages of the National Cultural Industry Innovation Experimental Zone (国家文化产业创新实验区), adhering to the principle of "technology empowering cultural innovation, and culture empowering urban development." "Taking 'trend' as the lead and 'innovation' as the driving force, we will continue to explore new directions, new paths, and new models for the development of the cultural industry, and promote the deep integration of 'culture and tourism + all industries'," said Wu Xiaojie (吴小杰), Secretary of the Chaoyang District (朝阳区) Party Committee.
Technology empowers, and new business formats accelerate growth.
With just one sentence, AI (Artificial Intelligence) can complete the dubbing of an entire movie through "voice cloning," with the same tone and accent as the real person. Walking into the Beijing AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) Audiovisual Industry Innovation Center (北京AIGC（人工智能生成内容）视听产业创新中心) located in Shoukai Langyuan Station (首创·郎园Station), the movie AI dubbing translation system is amazing.
Focusing on promoting the high-quality development of the cultural industry, Chaoyang District (朝阳区) is seizing the "key variable" of artificial intelligence. "Through the accelerated innovation of new-generation digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual reality, and 5G, the pace of digitalization of the cultural industry is accelerating." Li Qiang (李强), Director of the National Cultural and Creative Industry Experimental Zone Management Committee (国家文创实验区管委会主任), introduced that in recent years, Chaoyang District (朝阳区) has established 150 million yuan of cultural industry guidance funds every year to increase support for the integrated development of culture and technology. "At present, the experimental zone has cultivated and formed 5 hundred-billion-yuan parks, more than 50 cultural and technological parks, and 36 municipal-level parks."
Inspiring creativity, consumption vitality surges.
Located in the eastern part of Chaoyang Park (朝阳公园) is Beijing's largest e-sports-themed comprehensive venue, "Weibo IN (微博IN)". Its e-sports stadium was put into use in March of this year, and the overall commercial area will be fully opened in October. With a building area of 42,000 square meters, it is expected to host hundreds of large-scale events and IP-themed pop-up events every year.
"Relying on e-sports events, we will create a brand-new park commercial scene integrating ACG (anime, comics, and games), trendy toys, and lifestyle." Lai Yunqi (赖蕴琪), head of the marketing department of the "Weibo IN (微博IN)" venue, introduced that many domestic and foreign brands have settled in, attracting nearly 100,000 fans to check in.
From the globally popular "Labubu (拉布布)" to the recently popular "Wakuku (哇库库)", trendy toys are a bright business card of Chaoyang District's (朝阳区) cultural industry. "We entered the trendy toy industry because we are optimistic about the 'trendy toy ecosystem' here." Shi Guangqiang (施广强), Executive President of Quantum Song Group (量子之歌集团) and co-founder of Qimeng Island (奇梦岛), said, "In Chaoyang (朝阳), from product design to market launch, the complete elements can help 'newcomers' avoid detours."
Leading the trend, the deep integration of culture, commerce, tourism, and sports.
As night falls, the Liangma River (亮马河) is brightly lit. Tourist boats shuttle on the river, and people flow like weaving on both banks. "The Liangma River (亮马河) has highlights both day and night." Mandy (曼迪) from Turkey (土耳其) specifically settled her home by the Liangma River (亮马河) after working in Beijing (北京). She said: "The inclusiveness and relaxation here make every person who loves life linger."
Down the river from west to east, the "Wild Singing Concert (野唱会)" in Chaoyang Park (朝阳公园) is in full swing. Folk songs, pop, rock... anyone can sing a song here if they like. When encountering familiar melodies, the sound of collective chorus can always travel far.
High popularity, hot consumption. Taking the construction of an international consumption center city as an important starting point, Chaoyang District (朝阳区) creates new scenes of diversified and integrated cultural, commercial, tourism, and sports consumption by holding a series of special activities. The "concert economy," "sports event economy," "trendy toy economy," and "ticket stub economy" are new formats and models that continuously inject vitality into the market.
Data shows that in the first half of 2025, Chaoyang District (朝阳区) held 41 large-scale concerts, attracting approximately 1.7 million viewers and driving comprehensive consumption of over 7.5 billion yuan. During the 15th Beijing International Film Festival (北京国际电影节), hundreds of merchants participated in the ticket stub linkage mechanism, driving the growth of passenger flow and sales in key business districts.

The Highlights of the "14th Five-Year Plan"
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the number of employed people with disabilities nationwide reached 9.01 million, and the cumulative number of newly employed people with disabilities in urban and rural areas reached 2.31 million.
"Tighten the straps, grip the handle, exert force, and stand up!" Inside the rehabilitation center of Chengtian Technology Development Co., Ltd. in Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江), Mr. Wang, a person with a disability who has been in a wheelchair for more than 10 years, stood up again with the help of an exoskeleton robot, and the surrounding staff burst into applause and cheers.
"I'm happy for him, really. I'm also happy for myself!" Nie Peng, the test engineer, had tears in his eyes. Like Mr. Wang, he was also in a wheelchair.
More than 10 years ago, Nie Peng, who worked as an auto repair worker, suffered a spinal cord injury due to an accident, resulting in high paraplegia, and has since relied on a wheelchair for mobility.
"When I thought that I would have to sit in a wheelchair forever, I felt like the sky was falling," Nie Peng said. Long-term immobility caused his muscles to gradually atrophy, leading to complications such as urinary tract infections and venous thrombosis, requiring him to go to the hospital several times a month for anti-inflammatory injections.
With physical disability and mental imbalance, like many paraplegic patients, Nie Peng "locked" himself at home, "except for sitting or lying down, my body got worse and worse."
In 2017, Chengtian Technology settled in the Artificial Intelligence Town of Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City (杭州未来科技城人工智能小镇), focusing on the research and development and application of exoskeletons. "The exoskeleton looks like an 'iron frame' tied to a person, but it is actually a wearable robot system that integrates information technology, mobile computing and other cutting-edge technologies," said Wang Tian (王天), the founder of Chengtian Technology. For example, the exoskeleton robot used by Mr. Wang can recognize the user's intention through the force sensors in the legs, and with the drive of the auxiliary motion device, it can help the patient stand up and walk according to the walking characteristics of a healthy person.
"The straps still feel a bit abrasive and uncomfortable. My skin here is a bit itchy, maybe it's an allergy."
"Why don't we change to a different material, would that be better?"
…………
This is the daily communication between Nie Peng and other staff members. In the same year that the company was founded, Nie Peng learned about the recruitment of testers through fellow patients. "At that time, I didn't know what an exoskeleton was, but staying at home all the time was not an option. If through my efforts, I can see hope together with other patients, then it's worth it."
Eventually, Nie Peng joined the Chengtian Technology R&D team. He still remembers being moved to tears when he stood and walked for the first time with the help of the robot, "When I stood up again, life had hope again."
"That feeling of stepping forward slowly, it's been a long time," Nie Peng said, "When I walk, my perspective on the world also changes. I no longer look up from a wheelchair, but stand up and look at the whole world at eye level." Now, Nie Peng uses the exoskeleton device for at least 1 hour every day, conducting rehabilitation training while also providing suggestions for product improvement. He also taught himself electronics and mechanical related knowledge, and took on data maintenance, system management and other work.
From hydraulic drive to electric drive, from shrinking the battery backpack to optimizing the strap design... The R&D team continues to polish the product, making it from "usable" to "easy to use." The latest exoskeleton robot is equipped with a "brain-computer interface cap." This device can capture the user's nerve electrical signals, and together with the force sensors in the legs, better analyze the patient's intentions.
In the company's rehabilitation center, people with disabilities can experience or rent equipment. Children with cerebral palsy use exoskeleton robots to correct their gait, and elderly people with leg problems use newly developed portable equipment to climb mountains and stairs... Chengtian Technology's exoskeleton equipment has been applied in over 700 medical rehabilitation institutions, with over 650,000 patients using it.
"Over the years, from sitting to standing up, and then to being able to earn money to support myself, my back is straight, I speak with confidence, and I have become more confident!" Looking forward to the future, Nie Peng has a small wish - that one day, exoskeleton robots made of flexible materials will be as light and flexible as clothes, so that patients can put them on and walk freely.
This stems from a dream that Nie Peng often has: the sun is shining, the grass is green, and a basketball game is in progress during physical education class, and he and his friends are running and jumping on the playground.
"10 years ago, I never dared to think that I could stand up again. I am full of expectations for what the future will be like," Nie Peng said.

With the assistance of exoskeleton robots in rehabilitation training, I get sick less often and feel healthier. I thought, if I understood a bit of technology, I could transition from simply experiencing the technology to participating in research and development, and new products could be launched sooner.
To this end, I used my spare time to learn a lot of technology and became a research and development staff member. Seeing Mr. Wang stand up again, I not only felt a strong resonance with him, but more importantly, as a research and development staff member, I felt the recognition from patients and colleagues.
Precisely because I am a disabled person, when I can do my part for this group and use technology to help more disabled people stand up, it feels very cool!
In recent years, I have felt that society is more friendly to people with disabilities. I settled in Hangzhou (杭州), and the city's barrier-free facilities are becoming more and more complete. When taking the subway, just apply to the service desk, and the staff will take out a barrier-free ramp to escort our travel throughout the journey. I love this city, not only because it has tall buildings and convenient living, but also because of its protection and support for vulnerable groups.
Recently, I put on a "brain-computer interface cap" and started testing new products. As the technology gradually matures, exoskeleton devices can capture patients' thoughts and assist in walking. I believe that more people with disabilities will have a better life.

Employment is key for people with disabilities to equally integrate into society and realize their life values. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China strengthened care, assistance, and rights protection for people with disabilities. The cumulative number of newly employed people with disabilities in urban and rural areas reached 2.31 million, and the number of employed people with disabilities reached 9.01 million. The number of newly employed people with disabilities in urban and rural areas has remained stable at over 400,000 each year, and the employment rate of people with disabilities has increased by nearly 5 percentage points. The number of people with disabilities employed in proportion, with more stable employment and higher incomes, has increased by over 20%, and over 2.17 million people with disabilities in urban and rural areas have participated in vocational skills training.
In terms of social security, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, people with disabilities received minimum living security, rehabilitation assistance for children with disabilities, living allowances for people with disabilities in difficulty, and nursing allowances for people with severely disabled people, ensuring that everyone who should be covered is covered (应保尽保 (yīng bǎo jìn bǎo - "should guarantee fully guarantee," ensure full coverage)). As of June this year, the two subsidies for people with disabilities have benefited 11.884 million people with disabilities in difficulty and 16.4 million people with severely disabled people, respectively. The enrollment rate of children with disabilities in compulsory education has reached 97%. Through the continuous implementation of centralized and decentralized care, as well as home services, barrier-free home renovations, and assistance from public welfare and charitable organizations, the special difficulties and needs of many families with disabled members have been resolved and alleviated.
Some scientific and technological innovation achievements have achieved relatively good application results in the field of rehabilitation for people with disabilities. "In the next step, we will increase the research and development of assistive technology, further create a good environment for technology to assist people with disabilities, empower people with disabilities with technology, and promote the high-quality development of the cause of people with disabilities," said Zhou Changkui (周长奎), Secretary of the Party Group and Chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation (中国残联).

In Altay Pasture, Xinjiang (新疆阿勒泰), herdsman Murati Bimu La (木拉提·毕木拉) opens his mobile phone, and the real-time location of his more than 80 free-range camels is clear at a glance.
"An adult camel is worth about 30,000 yuan, and they often got lost in the past, resulting in considerable losses. By putting smart collars on them, we can accurately locate them and also monitor their body temperature," said Murati Bimu La (木拉提·毕木拉).
Smarter animal husbandry relies on "BeiDou (北斗) + base station positioning" technology. The person in charge of China Mobile Xinjiang Company's (中国移动新疆公司) Altay (阿勒泰) branch introduced that in order to ensure highway communication and herders' relocation, solar base stations have been built locally, and the mobile communication network now covers the main relocation routes.
At the forest farm station, forest rangers can monitor the fire prevention points in real time and report fire hazards with one click; in grassland pastoral areas, villagers can use their mobile phones to smoothly broadcast live and sell their own agricultural products; in nature reserves, researchers can use IoT cards to stably obtain data on the health status of wild animals and better carry out research and protection... These digital scenarios that were "unthinkable" in the past are becoming a reality as the level of communication network supply in forest areas and grasslands increases.
China's forest coverage rate exceeds 25%, and the comprehensive vegetation coverage of grasslands is stable at over 50%. 4G network coverage has been initially achieved in relatively densely populated forest farm stations, management and protection stations, and settlements of a certain scale, and 5G networks are being deployed in some key areas. However, some areas still face problems such as high construction difficulty and the need to optimize the construction environment.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部) and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration (国家林业和草原局) jointly issued the "Notice on Promoting the Construction of 'Broadband Forestry and Grassland'," proposing that by the end of 2027, the proportion of forest farm (station) stations connected to 4G/5G networks will reach 90%, the 4G/5G network coverage level of densely populated areas and important points such as key fire lookout towers will be significantly improved, key points within national nature reserves and other areas will basically achieve broadband network coverage, and 4G/5G network coverage will be achieved as needed along national highways and key provincial highways crossing forest areas and grasslands.
The notice focuses on deploying tasks in four aspects.
Deepen network coverage of important points. Deepen network coverage in densely populated areas and accelerate upgrades to 5G and gigabit optical networks. Deepen network coverage of forest and grassland fire prevention points and expand the coverage of mobile communication networks, mobile IoT, and other networks as needed.
Strengthen network construction in key areas. Strengthen network construction in production and operation areas and nature reserves, improve network access capabilities at important points, and support the acceleration of digital management and operation.
Optimize the network construction environment. Optimize the approval process for communication infrastructure in forest areas, further improve the guarantee of elements for communication infrastructure construction projects in forest areas and grasslands, and coordinate the reduction and exemption of various related fees such as design and evaluation fees.
Improve network maintenance and usage levels. Strengthen the operation and maintenance of communication infrastructure and promptly identify and deal with potential faults. Encourage the provision of network and computing power support for information projects such as forest fire early warning and monitoring systems in forest areas.
The relevant person in charge of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部信息通信发展司) stated that the notice is conducive to solving the difficulties and blockages in the construction of communication infrastructure in forest areas and grasslands. Next, the focus will be on strengthening the guarantee of elements for communication infrastructure construction and optimizing the approval of land use for forestry and grassland, accelerating the deployment and application of advanced network and information technologies, and strongly supporting ecological protection, fire prevention and control, and economic transformation in forest areas and grasslands. A series of guarantee measures will also be implemented, such as promoting forest area operating units to open various resources such as buildings in forest areas and grasslands to communication infrastructure construction projects free of charge, promoting the opening of communication infrastructure to forestry-related units, and supporting the strengthening of monitoring and detection equipment construction for forest fire prevention, wild animal and plant protection, and other purposes.

Promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of economic and social development is a crucial link in achieving high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized the need to coordinate industrial structure adjustment, pollution control, ecological protection, and climate change response, synergistically promoting carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and carrying out ecological civilization construction in an all-round, all-regional, and all-process manner.
In 10 minutes, a forester plants a Korean pine. Protecting and expanding greenery, in the Horqin Sandy Land (科尔沁沙地) of Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), ecological restoration and comprehensive management are turning the desert into an oasis.
In 10 minutes, a salt marsh ecosystem produces an average of 2 tons of carbon sinks. Generating wealth from greenery, along the coast of Xiangshan County (象山县), Zhejiang (浙江), blue carbon resources allow fishermen to earn an "ecological living."
In 10 minutes, an unmanned electric truck delivers a load of goods. Pursuing and promoting greenery, at the Seres Super Factory in Liangjiang New Area (两江新区), Chongqing (重庆), component transportation achieves zero-carbon emissions, and the construction of green factories is accelerating.
Recently, reporters from this newspaper went to Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), Zhejiang (浙江), and Chongqing (重庆) to conduct research, and the practice of "renewing" mountains and rivers and "greening" industries is evident everywhere. Various regions are thoroughly studying and implementing Xi Jinping's (习近平) thought on ecological civilization, firmly establishing and practicing the concept that **绿水青山就是金山银山** (lǜ shuǐ qīng shān jiù shì jīn shān yín shān - "green mountains and clear waters are gold and silver mountains," a concept emphasizing that environmental protection leads to economic benefits), accelerating the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, and striding towards a modernization of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
Strengthening ecological protection and restoration, the ecological environment is getting better and better.
A good ecological environment is the fairest public product and the most inclusive livelihood benefit. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "We must adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasslands, and build a large pattern of protection and management from mountain tops to the ocean."
In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (长江), Fengjie County (奉节县), Chongqing (重庆), the straws and branches floating on the river surface will soon be discovered by the patrol cleaning boats and "swallowed" into the cabin.
Fengjie (奉节) is located at the entrance of the Three Gorges (三峡), and its special terrain often leads to the retention of floating objects such as garbage. The local area coordinates ship-shore cameras, patrol drones, and satellite remote sensing to achieve digital minute-level early warning of floating objects in key waters. "Once garbage is discovered, the command center immediately dispatches cleaning boats to intercept it accurately and efficiently, preventing pollution from entering the Yangtze River (长江)," said Wu Fuchun (吴福春), director of the Fengjie County (奉节县) Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Management Office.
Scientific cleaning, jointly protecting the Yangtze River (长江). Chongqing (重庆) is building a solid ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (长江), and is promoting the "three water co-governance" in a coordinated manner. The water quality of the Chongqing (重庆) section of the Yangtze River (长江) has been excellent for eight consecutive years.
On the coast of the East China Sea (东海), Yanpu Bay (沿浦湾), Cangnan County (苍南县), Zhejiang (浙江), on the sea surface of the ecological aquaculture area of more than 6,200 mu, fiberglass stands tall, reflecting colorful light and shadow in the sun.
"Seaweed is the 'money bag' of our coastal fishermen. In the past, we used bamboo poles for cultivation. We made money, but the environment was polluted," said Zhang Nengkai (张能凯), a breeder. Bamboo needs to be replaced every year and is often thrown into the sea to rot and stink. The local area promoted the "Blue Bay" renovation action, and the village collective invested in the construction of a fiberglass pole aquaculture area, which was rented to breeders. "Fiberglass is wind-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can be used for a long time. The environment is better, and the yield and quality of seaweed have also improved," said Zhang Nengkai (张能凯).
Zhejiang (浙江), which has a coastline of 6,715 kilometers, is promoting renovation and restoration in response to problems such as damaged natural coastlines and damage to the marine ecological environment, and is building beautiful bays with "one bay, one policy."
In the northern Xinjiang grassland, Changlechuan (敕勒川), Hohhot (呼和浩特), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), the grassland and sea undulate with the wind.
This used to be a barren stone beach ravaged by yellow sand. In order to reproduce the beautiful scenery of the grassland, ecological restoration was carried out. "At that time, many people thought that planting grass in a pile of stones would not work," said Wang Junfang (王君芳), head of the achievement transformation department of Mengcao Group (蒙草集团), which undertook the restoration task. The team carefully selected plant varieties and improved the soil and rebuilt vegetation through a combination of artificial intervention and natural restoration. "The number of grassland plants has increased from more than 20 in the early stage of restoration to more than 70 today, and the yield of hay, carbon sequestration, and oxygen release have been greatly improved," Wang Junfang (王君芳) introduced, and the diversity and stability of the Changlechuan (敕勒川) grassland ecosystem have been significantly improved.
Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) vigorously promotes afforestation and grass planting, sand prevention and control, and actively implements the construction tasks of the "Three North" project. The sand-locking forest and grass belts of the Badain Jaran (巴丹吉林), Tengger (腾格里), and Ulan Buh (乌兰布和) deserts have all been closed.
"We adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasslands, and the quality of the ecological environment continues to improve," said Sun Shao Cheng (孙绍骋), secretary of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区) Party Committee. He said that we will take the battle to win the "Three North" project as the traction, strengthen the protection and restoration of ecosystems, and build a solid northern important ecological security barrier.
Accelerate low-carbon development, and the industrial structure is becoming more and more optimized.
Green development is the background color of high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "Focus on building a green, low-carbon, and circular economic system, accelerate the formation of an industrial structure with high technological content, low resource consumption, and less environmental pollution, and significantly improve the greening of the economy."
Industrial greening——
The bright and clean unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manufacturing plant was still a high-temperature furnace and chimney more than a year ago. The secret to transformation and upgrading lies in "**腾笼换鸟**" (téng lóng huàn niǎo - "empty the cage and replace the bird," restructuring the economy by replacing old industries with new ones).
In the low-altitude economic supporting industrial park in Yuecheng District (越城区), Shaoxing City (绍兴市), Zhejiang (浙江), a medium and large fixed-wing UAV has just been assembled. "The assembly and delivery of the company's unmanned system in East China is completed here," said Yao Xingyu (姚星宇), deputy general manager of Zhejiang Dapeng Zongheng UAV Technology Co., Ltd. (浙江大鹏纵横无人机科技有限公司).
"This used to be a high-energy-consuming and high-emission glass factory. We promoted the green transformation of the industrial structure and carried out 'secondary development' of the land to lay out a new track for the low-altitude economy," said Ding Yujue (丁裕珏), head of the Investment Section of the Yuecheng District (越城区) Economic and Information Bureau. By introducing related projects and implementing new technologies such as unmanned systems and solid-state batteries, the added value energy consumption per unit of the industrial park has dropped from 6 tons of standard coal/10,000 yuan to 0.05 tons of standard coal/10,000 yuan.
Energy to new——
The busy production line with a daily output of 30,000 battery cells achieves zero carbon emissions. The answer to green and low carbon lies in "infinite scenery of wind and light."
Rows of photovoltaic panels are lined up, and wind turbines are running day and night, driving green power to the Ordos Zero-Carbon Industrial Park (鄂尔多斯零碳产业园) in Mengsu Economic Development Zone (蒙苏经济开发区), Yijinhuoluo Banner (伊金霍洛旗), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), not far away.
"The zero-carbon industrial park uses renewable energy for production and achieves reduction and offsetting of carbon emissions through technological energy conservation," said Cui Yongping (崔永平), director of the Mengsu Economic Development Zone (蒙苏经济开发区) Management Committee. The park is equipped with a 385,000-kilowatt wind-solar-storage integrated project, attracting 10 companies in the fields of photovoltaics and hydrogen energy to settle in, and the annual output value of the new energy industry exceeds 20 billion yuan.
Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) was once a "big user" of traditional energy utilization. In recent years, it has optimized the development and utilization of energy resources and vigorously developed new energy and clean energy. In the first half of this year, the total installed capacity of new energy reached 145 million kilowatts, accounting for 52% of the total installed capacity.
Resource efficiency——
In the high-rise buildings of Jiangbeizui Central Business District (江北嘴中央商务区), Chongqing (重庆), there is no air conditioner outdoor unit. The secret of resource utilization lies in "a river of clear water."
"The Yangtze River (长江) water is a 'natural air conditioner'. We use the characteristics of the river water being warm in winter and cool in summer to supply cooling or heating through heat pump technology," said Wang Jing (王晶), deputy general manager of the New Energy Service Branch of Chongqing Cuntan Port City Development Co., Ltd. (重庆寸滩港城发展有限公司). "Water air conditioners" have less noise and air pollution, and can save about 52,000 kilowatts of electricity installed capacity and reduce emissions by about 60,000 tons per year.
Floating objects salvaged from the Yangtze River (长江) are used as fuel, and the slag from the incineration of domestic waste is used for paving roads... In Chongqing (重庆), the practice of "turning waste into treasure" and "**点废成金**" (diǎn fèi chéng jīn - "turning waste into gold," making something valuable from nothing) is constantly emerging.
"We improve green efficiency with resource recycling and develop a circular economy," said Hu Henghua (胡衡华), deputy secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and mayor. Chongqing (重庆) focuses on reduction, reuse, and resource utilization, promotes circular production of enterprises, circular operation of parks, and circular links of industries, and has built 170 national-level green factories and 16 green parks. In the first half of this year, the comprehensive utilization rate of bulk industrial solid waste reached 79.4%.
Innovate the transformation mechanism, and the path is getting wider and wider.
A good ecological environment contains infinite economic value. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "We must broaden the path of transforming green waters and green mountains into gold and silver mountains," "Promote ecological industrialization and industrial ecology, cultivate a large number of ecological products to the market, and continuously transform ecological advantages into development advantages."
Protecting greenery in exchange for gold, developing in protection and protecting in development.
In Fuxing Town (复兴镇), Arong Banner (阿荣旗), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), the aroma of mushrooms in the mountains is unique. Villagers skillfully sort and remove impurities from freshly picked mushrooms and pack them into baskets according to variety and grade. "The forest area is full of treasures. I can pick up to 50 kilograms a day, which can be sold for more than 700 yuan," said Yan Zhiyou (闫志友), a villager.
Increasing greenery means increasing advantages, and protecting forests means protecting wealth. In the Horqin Sandy Land (科尔沁沙地), characteristic industries such as sea buckthorn, apples, and Yuanbaofeng bring more income; in Arxan (阿尔山), southwest of the Greater Khingan Mountains (大兴安岭), 81.2% of the forest coverage breeds emerging tourism formats such as hiking and health preservation... Developing forest food, building forest ecological tourism areas, and exploring forestry carbon sinks, Inner Mongolia's (内蒙古) forestry and grass industry has achieved a double harvest of ecological and economic benefits, and its output value exceeded 100 billion yuan last year.
Adding greenery to increase gold, expanding the beautiful economy in accordance with local conditions.
Along the winding mountain road of Zhonghua Village (中华村), Jingguan Town (静观镇), Beibei District (北碚区), Chongqing (重庆), the mountains are full of greenery. In the past, villagers made a living by quarrying, and the mountains were covered with dust. By guiding and encouraging the closure of mines and planting fruit trees, the ecological environment of Zhonghua Village (中华村) has been gradually restored.
Today, the "abandoned mine + characteristic homestay" attracts a large number of tourists. "I hired a designer to develop a mountain forest-themed homestay, with an annual turnover of more than 5 million yuan, which has absorbed nearly 30 villagers from the surrounding area," said Zhou Song (周松), a villager.
As of now, Chongqing (重庆) has restored more than 7,000 hectares of mines and implemented more than 1.9 million mu of the "Green Mountains on Both Sides, Thousands of Miles of Forest Belt," and new achievements have been made in ecological protection and restoration, and ecological advantages have been continuously transformed into industrial advantages.
Turning greenery into gold, improving the mechanism for realizing the value of ecological products.
In Anji County (安吉县), Zhejiang (浙江), three carbon flux monitoring towers continue to work, measuring the value of carbon dioxide absorbed and stored by the bamboo forests all over the mountains. Carrying out bamboo forest carbon sink reform and innovating the carbon sink storage mechanism, the tradable carbon sink of each hectare of bamboo forest in Anji (安吉) reaches 5.85 tons, and "bamboo forest air" has become real money.
Creating "Two Mountains Cooperatives," promoting the realization of the value of water ecological products, and implementing geological ecological product value transformation and trading projects... Anji (安吉) is actively exploring the path to realize the value of ecological products, and the transformation channel between green waters and green mountains and gold and silver mountains is constantly widening. In 2024, through the realization of the value of ecological products, about 91% of the administrative villages (rural communities) in Anji (安吉) directly distributed 852 million yuan in dividends.
Zhejiang (浙江) has revised and improved the provincial gross ecosystem product accounting standards, improved the green financial mechanism, and empowered the transformation of ecological value with socialized capital and market-oriented methods. Wang Hao (王浩), secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, said that he will adhere to drawing a blueprint to the end, thoroughly implement the concept that green waters and green mountains are gold and silver mountains, and unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development.

China recently announced at the High-Level Meeting of the Global Development Initiative hosted by China at the United Nations Headquarters in New York that as a responsible developing major country, China will not seek new special and differential treatment in the current and future negotiations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). "This is a pivotal moment for the WTO. China's decision reflects its commitment to building a more balanced and equitable global trading system." WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said that China has sent a strong signal of support for WTO reform, and China's move "will undoubtedly inject vitality into relevant discussions and help us build a more flexible and efficient organization."
"An Important Declaration of Position Focusing on Both International and Domestic Situations"
Currently, the rules-based multilateral trading system faces severe challenges. The international community's call for maintaining the multilateral trading system is stronger, and expectations for the WTO to play a more active role are increasing.
"Announcing that it will not seek new special and differential treatment in the current and future negotiations of the WTO is an important declaration of China's position focusing on both international and domestic situations," said Hu Jianguo, Associate Professor of the Law School of Nankai University (南开大学). Since joining the WTO in 2001, China's economy and society have developed rapidly in an all-round way, and it has become the world's second largest economy, the largest trading country in goods, and the second largest trading country in services. It has the ability to play a greater role in maintaining the multilateral trading system, participating in WTO reform, and adjusting international economic and trade rules. In this context, China's move is an important action to maintain and strengthen the multilateral trading system.
"Promoting reform and development through opening up is an important magic weapon for China's modernization to continuously achieve new achievements. This measure means that China will participate in WTO reform at a deeper level and make higher-level commitments to opening up, which will help China promote deep-seated reforms and high-quality development," said Hu Jianguo.
Tu Xinquan, Dean of the China WTO Institute of the University of International Business and Economics (对外经济贸易大学), said that as the world's largest trading country in goods and a responsible developing major country, China firmly upholds the multilateral trading system. China's announcement that it will not seek new special and differential treatment means that China will assume greater opening obligations in current and future negotiations, demonstrate China's responsibility as a developing major country with practical actions, further consolidate China's position as a supporter of trade liberalization in the WTO, and help better unite the vast number of developing countries to jointly maintain the multilateral trading system.
Ji Wenhua, Professor of the National Institute for Opening Up and the Law School of the University of International Business and Economics (对外经济贸易大学), said that special and differential treatment is an institutional arrangement granted to developing members under the WTO framework. As the world's largest developing country, China has always strictly abided by the organization's rules and earnestly fulfilled its accession commitments since joining the WTO. On this basis, continuing to exercise relevant rights in accordance with laws and regulations is in line with international law and WTO principles. At present, individual countries have launched trade wars and tariff wars one after another, which seriously threatens the multilateral trading system, disrupts international economic and trade order, and brings uncertainty and instability to global economic development. As an important member of the WTO, China's initiative to make this announcement is conducive to breaking the deadlock in the WTO's development agenda, promoting WTO reform, and enhancing developing countries' confidence in the multilateral trading system. This measure fully demonstrates China's responsible major country responsibility in global economic governance and is an important contribution to the multilateral trading system with the WTO as its core.
"Helps to Better Safeguard the Legitimate Rights and Interests of the Vast Number of Developing Members"
"The major initiative announced by China has distinct development attributes, which is conducive to the multilateral trading system better focusing on development issues, enhancing the inclusiveness and inclusiveness of international trade, and better bridging the North-South development gap to achieve the WTO's original intention of promoting global development," said Han Yong, Director-General of the Department of WTO Affairs of the Ministry of Commerce (商务部). China has "three unchangeables" in the current and future negotiations of the WTO: China's status as a developing member will not change, its determination to defend the legitimate rights and interests of developing members will not change, and its position in promoting the liberalization and facilitation of global trade and investment will not change.
"The status of developing members is a prerequisite for enjoying special and differential treatment, but not seeking new special and differential treatment does not mean giving up the status of developing members. China is always a member of the Global South and will always stand with developing countries. Although China does not seek new special and differential treatment, China's status as a developing member in the WTO will not change, and China will continue to firmly support other developing countries in striving for legitimate rights and interests," said Tu Xinquan. The "three unchangeables" are China's solemn commitment to maintaining the multilateral trading system and also China's practical action to always firmly safeguard the due position of developing countries in global governance.
"In 2001, China joined the WTO as a developing member, and this status has never changed. China's new position on special and differential treatment in the WTO does not affect China's developing member status," said Cui Fan, Professor of the School of International Trade and Economics of the University of International Business and Economics (对外经济贸易大学). "China's announcement that it will not seek new special and differential treatment in the current and future WTO negotiations will help to better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the vast number of developing members, make it more possible for other developing members to implement relevant treatments, and also help China's development and opening up better benefit all WTO members, especially other developing members, so as to continue to promote the liberalization and facilitation of global trade and investment."
Ji Wenhua said that it should be emphasized that the position paper and related policy interpretations submitted by China to the WTO clearly and accurately define the applicable situation and scope of China's move. First, this measure only applies to the WTO framework and will not set a precedent for China's status and treatment in other international organizations or treaties, nor will it have any impact. Second, this measure only involves whether China seeks special and differential treatment in negotiations and does not involve changing China's status as a developing country. As a member of developing countries, China is in line with the WTO's rules and practices and is also in line with China's stage of development. In addition, this measure only targets not seeking new special and differential treatment in the current and future WTO negotiations and does not involve (nor does it retroactively apply to) the special and differential treatment that China has already enjoyed and has requested to enjoy in the current negotiations. Therefore, any statement or expression that this measure means that China has transformed into a developed country under the WTO framework and no longer belongs to developing countries is an incorrect or distorted misleading interpretation.
"Fully Demonstrates the Responsibility to Jointly Promote Global Development"
In recent years, China has firmly maintained the multilateral trading system, comprehensively and deeply participated in WTO reform and the adjustment of international economic and trade rules, and continuously promoted the development of the global economic governance system in a more just and reasonable direction.
Hu Jianguo said that maintaining the multilateral trading system is in China's fundamental interests. China's comprehensive and in-depth participation in WTO reform and the adjustment of international economic and trade rules will help promote the implementation of the global governance initiative, promote the construction of a more just and reasonable global governance system, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Tu Xinquan believes that, in fact, in the many negotiations that the WTO has completed, China has repeatedly not sought special and differential treatment and has made commitments higher than those of other developing members. These constructive measures by China have made key contributions to promoting the completion of negotiations. This measure means that China will make more and greater opening commitments in future negotiations, make greater contributions to the liberalization and facilitation of global trade and investment, and thus promote the development of the multilateral trading system. This is in line with the international community's expectations for China to play a leading role in global economic and trade governance.
"At present, protectionism and unilateralism continue to spread, especially individual major countries disregard international rules and forcibly promote unilateral tariff measures, which make the authority and effectiveness of the WTO face severe challenges. At this critical juncture, China breaks the shackles of the zero-sum game with pragmatic actions and fully demonstrates the responsibility to jointly promote global development. China's move reflects the responsibility to defend the global economic and trade order and also highlights China's leading role in global governance," said Ji Wenhua. For a long time, some Western developed countries have always had the phenomenon of "more statements and less implementation" on the issue of granting special and differential treatment to developing countries. Only when all countries move in the same direction, resolutely abandon double standards, and jointly build a solid foundation for multilateralism can we open up an inclusive, just, and sustainable development path for the global economic and trade system. This is the fundamental path to solving the current global trade dilemma.
Return to TopChina always bears in mind the future of humanity and takes the well-being of the people to heart, and is willing to work with all parties to firmly promote the common values of all mankind and jointly forge ahead towards the lofty goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
The 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly General Debate is being held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York (纽约). With the theme of "Together for Progress: Promoting Peace, Development, and Human Rights for Eighty Years, Looking Back and Looking Forward, and Writing a New Chapter," this year's UN General Assembly, at the historical node of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, once again highlights the ardent expectations of the people of all countries for peaceful development, the strong call for fairness and justice, and the firm pursuit of democracy and freedom.
"Peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom are the common values of all mankind and the lofty goals of the United Nations." On September 28, 2015, President Xi Jinping (习近平) attended the General Debate of the 70th Session of the United Nations General Assembly and delivered an important speech, in which he first proposed the common values of all mankind and expounded on their basic connotations. Since then, President Xi Jinping (习近平) has repeatedly emphasized the need to promote the common values of all mankind, and has put forward a series of new concepts and propositions around the common values of all mankind, providing a strong ideological guide for promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and creating a better future for mankind. Over the past 10 years, this important concept originating from China has gathered the largest common denominator of value concepts universally recognized by the people of all countries in the world with its strong appeal that transcends borders and transcends differences.
At present, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and global challenges are emerging one after another. To resolve the global contradictions and problems facing mankind, we need not only the fundamental role of material strength, but also the spiritual guidance of value strength. Some countries are obsessed with the law of the jungle of the strong bullying the weak, advocating zero-sum games and winner-take-all, which not only makes the international situation turbulent, but also exacerbates the imbalance of global development. In the face of the changes of the times and the challenges of reality, the common values of all mankind understand the understanding of different civilizations on the connotation of value with a broad mind, respect the exploration of the path to the realization of value by the people of different countries, and make it clear that peaceful development is a common cause, fairness and justice are common ideals, and democracy and freedom are common pursuits, providing strong and powerful value support for solving the real difficulties of human society.
From the broad response of the international community to working together to address global challenges, the international appeal and influence of the common values of all mankind are increasing. "The more complex global challenges are, the more we need collective efforts," "If we want to achieve world peace, all countries must unite, cooperate, understand each other, and respect each other," "Only by deepening friendship and understanding can we achieve peace, stability, and development"... More and more international people realize that peace and development are the only way to break the conflict and confrontation and get out of the security dilemma, fairness and justice are the inevitable requirements for bridging the development gap and safeguarding the rights and interests of the Global South, and democracy and freedom are the value premise for promoting mutual learning among civilizations and ensuring equal development. Facts have proved that only by adhering to the correct value orientation can human society open up a bright future of win-win cooperation and common prosperity.
China is a firm advocate of the common values of all mankind and an active practitioner. The common values of all mankind reflect the Chinese Communist Party's global vision. China has put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, adhered to true multilateralism, promoted the building of an open world economy, promoted the democratization of international relations, promoted exchanges and mutual learning among diverse civilizations, and promoted global governance in a more just and reasonable direction... One Chinese proposition and one pragmatic action demonstrate the wisdom and strength of Chinese civilization to benefit the world, demonstrate the mission and responsibility of a responsible major country to embrace the world, and demonstrate the bright prospects of the common values of all mankind.
To establish the right position in the world and follow the great path of the world. China always bears in mind the future of mankind and takes the well-being of the people to heart, and is willing to work with all parties to firmly promote the common values of all mankind and jointly forge ahead towards the lofty goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Mikov said that China's artificial intelligence technology is developing rapidly, helping the development of the world's artificial intelligence industry. "Technology promotes industrial transformation and changes daily life. This is the development trend I observed in China. Bulgaria and China can further cooperate in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics. I look forward to more Chinese high-tech companies investing and developing in Bulgaria in the future."
Seeing the humanoid robot walking freely, flipping its fingers flexibly, and introducing itself fluently in English, Péter Ferenc, President of Mureș County (Romania), said that while China is developing rapidly, it is promoting the sharing of technological innovation achievements with various countries around the world, especially developing countries. "China has demonstrated the appearance that a major country should have in promoting the inclusive development of science and technology."
In the evening, the representatives came to Xinzhuang Village (辛庄村), which is one of the demonstration villages of Beijing's "Hundred and Thousand Project" (百千工程) and a representative of the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas in the suburbs of Beijing. Strolling along Maker Street, looking at the various coffee shops, handicraft workshops, and bakeries along the road, and greeting the enthusiastic villagers, "harmony" was the first impression of Husni Ismaili, former Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of North Macedonia and former Minister of Culture. "This trip has opened a window for me to understand China." Ismaili said that China has coordinated the development of rural industries and the inheritance of local culture, and has achieved remarkable results. "Learning from China's good practices in protecting and inheriting outstanding traditional culture on the road to modernization is one of the most important purposes of my trip."
Today's Xinzhuang Village (辛庄村) has upgraded infrastructure, distinctive characteristic industries, and increased community vitality. The strawberry industry promotes the income and prosperity of local villagers, and the Xinzhuang Market (辛庄市集) drives the development of rural tourism. With the joint efforts of old villagers and new farmers, Xinzhuang Village (辛庄村) has been rejuvenated. "This is my first time to China, and visiting Xinzhuang Village (辛庄村) is a rare opportunity." Zoran Dabetic, State Secretary of the Ministry of Ecology, Spatial Planning and Urbanism of Montenegro, said that the speed of China's rural development is beyond imagination. "Whether it is the business model of agricultural and tourism integration or the efficient agricultural production methods, it provides useful lessons for the development of Montenegrin agriculture."

At 8:20 a.m., Chen Shinuo (陈诗诺) from the 2022 five-year program in Fashion Design and Brand Planning at Guangzhou Baiyun Technician College (广东省广州市白云工商技师学院) in Guangzhou (广州), Guangdong Province (广东省), arrived in the classroom to wait for class.
"This course is about fashion design and pattern-making technology. The teacher is an enterprise mentor who teaches us 3D fashion design. If the designs in class are adopted, there will also be scholarships," Chen Shinuo (陈诗诺) told reporters.
The 50-minute class time passed quickly, with 3D virtual pattern making, AI effect drawing, and fashion garment photography... "In my studies, I have been exposed to the latest technologies, trends, and corporate requirements in the fashion design industry, which has given me more confidence in my future employment," Chen Shinuo (陈诗诺) said.
In July of this year, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security (广东省人力资源和社会保障厅) and other four departments issued the "Implementation Measures for Deepening the Construction of the Production-Education-Evaluation Skills Ecosystem Chain in Guangdong Province (Trial)" (《广东省深化产教评技能生态链建设实施办法（试行）》), proposing to focus on the needs of enterprises for skilled personnel training and use, to create a skills ecosystem chain that connects and integrates industry, teaching, and evaluation, and to provide workers, especially unemployed college graduates, with full-cycle services for initial employment, stable employment, high-quality employment, and career development.
Relevant colleges and enterprises deeply collaborate to better serve youth employment.
Colleges reform "micro-major" courses to meet new development needs.
"In the past, the matching degree between some traditional majors and the needs of enterprises in the job market was not high enough," said Chen Shi (陈实), Vice President of Guangzhou Technician College (广州市技师学院). "Therefore, we combine work-integrated learning courses to strengthen the construction of micro-courses, and each industrial department increases 1-2 new majors every year."
The "micro-major" curriculum reform takes the path of "major + minor module" to strengthen school-enterprise collaborative education and open up a broader employment space for students. "We used to have a group of students majoring in automobile transportation, and their employment has shifted to the direction of aircraft. The school has changed its course in advance to carry out professional construction, integrating competitions, curriculum reform, and professional construction," Chen Shi (陈实) said.
"Order classes" and other training programs make talents more suitable for positions.
In the production-education-evaluation skills ecosystem chain, Guangdong (广东) encourages relevant enterprises to offer positions and carry out student apprenticeship training for college graduates. On the one hand, it allows enterprises to deeply participate in the teaching, training, and other cultivation links of industrial talents; on the other hand, it also allows young people to directly access high-quality employment positions.
This summer, Yang Yajun (杨亚军), a student majoring in Electrical Automation Technology at Bijie Industrial Vocational and Technical College (贵州毕节工业职业技术学院) in Bijie (毕节), Guizhou (贵州), entered the Funeng Technology (孚能科技) "order class" under Guangzhou Industrial Control Group (广州工控集团), a chain-leading enterprise, for internship, and developed his skills in the integrated production-education-evaluation training, and was awarded professional skills qualifications. "I have initially mastered the knowledge required for the position, and I will further develop my skills in the future," Yang Yajun (杨亚军) said with great anticipation for the future.
Arriving at the Fashion Manufacturing Innovation Research Center of Guangzhou SHEIN Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. (广州希音供应链管理有限公司), talent training for suppliers and colleges is underway in the production-education-evaluation shared training base. "As a new type of work, the training restores the real work scene of clothing quality inspection. After the training, I can quickly get started," said Huang Nuola (黄诺拉), a trainee "clothing quality inspector."
At the KUKA Robotics (库卡机器人) training site, more than 100 students in the first pilot class of the integrated production-education-evaluation pilot training program are learning courses such as robot structure and function, robot programming, and robot system operation and maintenance. It is understood that students who pass the training assessment can directly sign an on-the-job internship agreement to achieve "seamless" employment.
Promote practice and training through competitions to help talents develop in the long term.
"In the process of preparing for the competition, I learned a new skill, programming," said Lin Jiale (林家乐), a contestant in the optoelectronic technology project of the 3rd National Skills Competition Mechanical Industry Selection Competition. The new skill can be used in positions such as lighting designer and dimmer in the future.
"Participating in skills competitions has greatly improved my practical ability. Skills are in line with work, which can better connect with future positions and lay a solid foundation for my career development," said Lin Wei (林威), a contestant in the Smart Security Technology project.
"Guangdong (广东) strongly supports vocational skills competitions, focusing on business production skills, promoting practice and training through competitions, and integrating enterprise job standards into competition standards. Through competition direct access channels, it breaks through restrictions such as academic qualifications and qualifications, and helps career development leap," said the relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security (广东省人力资源和社会保障厅).
In June of this year, the "Guangdong 'Skills Illuminate the Future, Talents Empower Industry' Large-scale Vocational Skills Improvement Training Action Plan (2025-2027)" (《广东省“技能照亮前程 人才赋能产业”大规模职业技能提升培训行动方案（2025—2027年）》) proposed that Guangdong (广东) will carry out subsidized vocational skills training for more than 1.5 million people, and add more than 1.5 million people with skill-based vocational qualification certificates or vocational skill level certificates.
Enterprises provide positions, standards, and masters, schools provide students, teachers, and resources, and the government provides policies, services, and management. At present, Guangdong (广东) has selected 171 production-education-evaluation skills ecosystem chains, attracting a number of manufacturing enterprises such as BYD (比亚迪), Gree (格力), XPeng Motors (小鹏汽车), and KUKA (库卡) to become chain-leading enterprises, jointly building a number of production-education-evaluation shared training bases, and building a training model of "job demand + skills training + skills evaluation + employment services," and continuously deepening the construction of a skills ecosystem chain that connects and integrates industrial demand, teaching and training, and talent evaluation.

Autumn deepens. In the vineyards at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains, workers cut bunches of plump, purple grapes, place them in baskets, and send them to the winery.
At the COFCO Great Wall Chateau (中粮长城天赋酒庄) in Yinchuan (银川), Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (宁夏回族自治区), manager He Huaihua (何怀华) walks through the fields. He casually picks a bunch of grapes, examines them carefully against the light, and then puts them in his mouth to taste, revealing a satisfied expression. "The color is deep enough, and the taste is good. This is a good year!"
He Huaihua (何怀华) has been deeply involved in the wine grape planting industry for 12 years, witnessing the transformation of the winery from traditional planting to smart agriculture. "In Ningxia (宁夏), grapes can't grow well without scientific irrigation," He Huaihua (何怀华) said. The park adopted water-saving drip irrigation technology when it was first built in 2012, and has used many new technologies in recent years.
Looking down, several sections of white pipes protrude from the ground under the grapevines. "These pipes contain the connection lines for the sensors," He Huaihua (何怀华) said. Most of the park's underground is buried with soil water potential sensors, which can monitor soil water potential and determine soil moisture content, making it clear which irrigation area needs watering.
Looking up, a high-precision weather station stands tall. "This weather station integrates various data detectors such as temperature and humidity, wind direction and speed, and ultraviolet light, which can accurately capture the unique microclimate characteristics of each vineyard," He Huaihua (何怀华) explained. "For example, after rain, we will change the irrigation plan in the system based on rainfall and humidity data, without wasting a drop of water."
This is the wine grape environment monitoring system. Various information can be transmitted to the smart vineyard irrigation system in real time. "In the past, we watered based on experience, but now we rely on data," He Huaihua (何怀华) said. The environment monitoring system provides prediction and data support for irrigation and planting, and can also assist in pest and disease control, harvesting time decisions, and more.
The park also uses Internet of Things technology to install solenoid valves and controllers to create an irrigation monitoring and control system.
"Three years ago, watering grapes required a lot of running around to open and close the valves. An irrigation area of several hundred acres would take half an hour just to switch the valves, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and water-intensive," He Huaihua (何怀华) said. After the system was built, "opening the mobile app allows remote control of the drip irrigation control valve switch in one or two seconds; if there is an abnormal pressure in the drip irrigation pipeline, the system will automatically remind you, so people don't have to run to the fields all the time."
The time once spent switching valves can now be used to inspect the park; the work that used to require five people can now be done by one person.
"The water and labor saved are tangible benefits," He Huaihua (何怀华) calculated. "Drip irrigation saves about 60% more water than flood irrigation. In recent years, with new technologies, the average water consumption per mu has been reduced by another 20%-25% compared to simple drip irrigation, saving about 70 cubic meters of water per mu per year. We have more than 5,000 mu of vineyards here, which can save more than 350,000 cubic meters of water a year."
Ningxia (宁夏) relies on its own advantages to vigorously develop the wine industry and focus on building high-standard vineyards. Today, the Helan Mountain (贺兰山) East Foothill Wine Industrial Park (贺兰山东麓葡萄酒产业园) has more than 300 wineries. "Through smart empowerment, 95% of the land in the Helan Mountain (贺兰山) East Foothill wine region has achieved efficient water-saving irrigation, with a water utilization coefficient of 0.9. Most of the production waste has been recycled," said the relevant person in charge of the Helan Mountain (贺兰山) East Foothill Wine Industrial Park Management Committee (贺兰山东麓葡萄酒产业园区管委会).

"The Party School exists because of the Party, and it is a matter of course that the Party School bears the Party's name. Adhering to the Party's name is the fundamental principle of the Party School's work and the fundamental guideline for doing a good job in the Party School"... In December 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) delivered an important speech at the National Party School Work Conference, focusing closely on adhering to the Party School's name and profoundly answering a series of major issues concerning the long-term development of the Party School's cause.
Since the new era, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, the Party School (Academy of Administration) has deeply studied and implemented Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, firmly remembering that "the Party School bears the Party's name" is the foundation of running the school, doing a good job in preaching, teaching, and dispelling doubts in the new era, doing a good job in exploring laws and applying them to the world, and letting the Party's flag fly high in the Party School.
Cultivating a High-Quality Cadre Team Capable of Undertaking the Great Task of National Rejuvenation
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out at the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Central Party School (中央党校) and the opening ceremony of the 2023 spring semester: "In the new era and new journey, if our Party is to unite and lead the people to create a new situation in the development of the cause, it must cultivate a high-quality cadre team capable of undertaking the great task of national rejuvenation. In this regard, the Party School has a major and unshirkable responsibility."
Theoretical maturity is the foundation of political maturity, and political firmness stems from theoretical clarity.
Opening the teaching arrangement opinions for the autumn semester of 2025 of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), the measures to promote Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into textbooks, classrooms, and minds run through the entire process—
Enriching and substantiating the lecture settings of the three teaching units of theoretical lectures, practical interpretations, and case teaching of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era; continuing to offer the course "Studying and Implementing General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) Important Exposition on Strengthening the Party's Style of Work and the Spirit of the Eight-Point Regulation" in the main classes with a study period of more than one month; making good use of the newly published "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era Curriculum System and Teaching Outline (for use in the education and training of Party members and cadres)"...
Party spirit education is a compulsory course for communists to cultivate themselves and is also the "heart learning" of communists.
In September 2020, in the lobby on the first floor of the auditorium of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), all students of the training class for bureau-level civil servants (7th term) gathered here to hold a special "birthday party."
"I volunteer to join the Communist Party of China, uphold the Party's program, and abide by the Party's constitution..." Facing the bright red Party flag, all Party members reviewed the oath of joining the Party, celebrated their "political birthday," questioned their original intentions, and strengthened their beliefs.
In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has enriched and improved the "Teaching Outline for Party Spirit Education of the Communist Party of China," organized students to conduct experiential teaching in Shanghai (上海), Fujian (福建), Yan'an (延安), Shaanxi (陕西), and other places, arranged student forums with the theme of "Establishing a Correct View of Power, Performance, and Career," newly established "Hero Model" reports, and organized open-book examinations on the Party Constitution, Party regulations, and Party discipline for main classes with a study period of more than one month.
The purpose of learning lies entirely in application.
"How to correctly understand the socialist nature of Chinese-style modernization?"
"What is the 'historically correct side,' and how can we firmly stand on the 'historically correct side'?"
"Compared with Western democracy, what are the characteristics and advantages of whole-process people's democracy?"
…………
All along, students have been required to bring two questions when they register: one "hot issue of concern to cadres and the masses" and one "ideological and theoretical issue that they hope the Central Party School (中央党校) will answer." The questions brought by the students are collected uniformly, categorized and compiled into a book, and sent to the corresponding lecturers, who will answer them in class.
"Xiaogang Village (小岗村) has deepened the reform of the rural collective property rights system in recent years, taking the form of share cooperation as the main form, quantifying the assets of the rural collective unified management to individuals and households, and strengthening the village-level collective economy."
In April 2023, at the national video training class for village Party branch secretaries and village committee directors, Zhou Qunzhi (周群之), secretary of the Party committee and director of the village committee of Xiaogang Village (小岗村), Fengyang County (凤阳县), Anhui (安徽),娓娓道来 (wěiwěi dào lái - "narrate slowly," to talk about something in detail and in a leisurely manner) the village's development experience. During the four-and-a-half-day period, 513,000 trainees across the country discussed and exchanged methods and paths to promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside in the main classroom in Beijing (北京) and 3,568 branch classrooms in various places.
Lecture-style teaching, case-style teaching, discussion-style teaching, simulation-style teaching... The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) innovates teaching methods and enriches teaching methods, so that Party school courses can be truly used by students.
The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee's "Decision" proposed: "Improve the normalized training mechanism, especially the basic training mechanism, strengthen professional training and practical exercises, and comprehensively improve the ability of cadres to build modernization."
The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), together with the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee (中组部), standardizes the basic training classes and curriculum settings of local Party schools (academies of administration), conducts large-scale and full-coverage training in layers and categories, and promotes more systematic and in-depth theoretical education, more soul-touching Party spirit education, and more precise and efficient capacity training.
In 2024, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), together with relevant departments, completed the full-coverage centralized training of more than 2,000 centrally-administered cadres on the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, and covered nearly 700,000 leading cadres in central departments, enterprises, and universities through simultaneous live broadcasts; held 136 main classes such as training classes for young and middle-aged cadres, advanced study classes for centrally-administered cadres, and advanced study classes for bureau-level cadres; and conducted full-coverage training for township Party committee secretaries, street Party organization secretaries, etc. through simultaneous live broadcasts. More than 3 million trainees participated in the main and branch classrooms throughout the year.
Strive to be a Vigorous Force in the Party's Ideological and Theoretical Construction
See and make it clear, listen and make it smart, think and make it right.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) profoundly pointed out: "Only by clarifying and understanding some major issues from the perspective of ideology and theory can the Party School's education and training be truly done well."
In the north square of the main building of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), the statue of Marx called "Comrades-in-Arms" and the standing statue of Engels are eye-catching.
On December 26, 2015, with the approval of the Party Central Committee, the Marxist College of the Central Party School (中央党校马克思主义学院) was established, mainly responsible for the research, decision-making consultation, and related discipline teaching and research work on Marxist theory, reform and opening up, and major theoretical and practical issues of socialist modernization.
On January 15, 2018, with the approval of the Party Central Committee, the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era Research Center of the Central Party School (中央党校习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想研究中心) was established, whose main responsibility is to strengthen the research and interpretation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and promote the Party's theoretical construction and theoretical innovation.
Relying on the theoretical research base, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) continues to strengthen the systematic and academic research and interpretation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era—
Building academic exchange platforms such as the "China Discourse" high-end forum, the national governance forum, and the Chinese-style modernization forum;
Holding a series of seminars on studying and implementing Xi Jinping's (习近平) economic thought, Xi Jinping's (习近平) ecological civilization thought, and Xi Jinping's (习近平) diplomatic thought;
Completing the major commissioned project "Research on the Major Original Contributions of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" and carrying out "Research on Xi Jinping's (习近平) Thoughts and Practices during his Work in Fujian (福建)";
…………
In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has continued to carry out research on major theoretical issues, contributing wisdom and strength to continuously deepen the understanding of the Communist Party's governance laws, socialist construction laws, and human social development laws, and continuously write new chapters in the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
"Why are we full of confidence in the future? Because each of us is with the motherland at all times..." In 2020, the first season of the Party School's public class "Together with the Motherland" swept the Internet. Six young and middle-aged teachers from the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), combined with their personal growth experiences and research fields, brought a refreshing knowledge feast with solid theoretical foundation and vivid expression.
From "Together with the Motherland" to "Ten 'Whys' of Ten Years," "Reading the 75-Year Development Code of China," and then to "New Impulses of China's Economy in 2025"... The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has successively launched 13 seasons of Party School public classes, with a total viewership of over 1 billion. Netizens praised: "Produced by the Party School, it must be a masterpiece!"
In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has published more than 400 articles in authoritative newspapers and periodicals in the name of the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era Research Center, published books such as the "Questions of the New Era" series and "100 Keywords of Chinese-style Modernization," and launched 16 lectures on the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the "Online Party School" platform; experts and scholars have given lectures in various regions, departments, and units to promote the Party's innovative theories to "fly into the homes of ordinary people."
As an important force on the Party's ideological and theoretical front, the Party School undertakes the important responsibility of offering advice to the Party.
In 2015, the Central Party School (中央党校) was included in the pilot list of national high-end think tanks; in 2018, the Central Party School (中央党校) and the National Academy of Administration (国家行政学院) merged... Since the new era, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has continuously increased its characteristic disciplines and expanded its research fields, forming new advantages conducive to playing the role of a think tank.
How can Longyuan (陇原), known as "the most bitter place in the world," be revitalized? How can the Dulong ethnic group (独龙族) "leap over a thousand years in one step"? How can Xiadang (下党) in Ningde (宁德), Fujian (福建), fly high as a "weak bird"? How has Minning Town (闽宁镇) in Ningxia (宁夏) transformed from a dry sandy beach in the past to a golden sandy beach today?
In 2024, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) and the Central Propaganda Department (中宣部) jointly promoted the major special project of collecting and sorting out oral materials on the "historical achievements and historical changes" in the new era, restoring the historical picture of the Communist Party of China solving the problem of absolute poverty that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
Offering sincere advice and good strategies... The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) formulated the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Construction of Think Tanks," held centralized release conferences of yearbook achievements for two consecutive years, submitted internal references, research reports, think tank reports, and other decision-making consultation information to relevant central departments through various channels, and encouraged students to participate in offering advice to the Party and serving the Party and the country's cause.
Inherit the Glorious Traditions and Fine Style of the Party School
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The Party School is a hall for inheriting the Party's spiritual bloodline and a place that the majority of Party members and cadres yearn for. This requires the Party School to be much higher than ordinary schools in terms of strict school management and quality school establishment, and to follow the strictest political standards, academic standards, teaching standards, and management standards to ensure that it always keeps its original intention in mind and practices its mission."
In September 2023, the Party Central Committee issued the revised "Regulations on Cadre Education and Training Work," clarifying "establishing and improving the laws and regulations of cadre education and training and promoting the standardized management of cadre education and training";
In August 2025, the Party Central Committee issued the revised "Regulations on the Work of Party Schools (Academies of Administration) of the Communist Party of China," expanding "school spirit and academic style construction" to "school spirit, teaching style, and academic style construction," and adding "adhering to the concept of system" as a working principle;
…………
With the introduction of a series of documents, the atmosphere of learning, simplicity, and clarity is constantly filling.
During the study period at the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院), organizers are responsible for the entire management and supervision, and the temporary Party branch of students conducts self-management.
"It is not allowed to publish remarks that are inconsistent with the Party's theories and guidelines and policies," "It is not allowed to violate scientific research integrity and encroach on others' academic achievements," "It is not allowed to ask students to handle private affairs for personal gain, or to have dinner or drink with students on campus"... In January 2024, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) issued "Seven Prohibitions" for staff, putting forward clear requirements in terms of strictly observing political discipline, adhering to academic integrity, maintaining a clean relationship with students, keeping work secrets, obeying organizational arrangements, maintaining the reputation of the Party School, and adhering to professional ethics.
In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has formulated and revised management regulations on faculty members going out to give lectures, participating in academic activities, accepting media interviews, as well as internal audits of the school (academy) and faculty attendance, guiding faculty members to concentrate on academic research, sincerely ask questions, and carefully educate people.
The Party School is not an ordinary school, and the objects of Party School education and training are not ordinary students. This "unusual" also has unusual requirements for the Party School's teachers.
At the end of March this year, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) held a collective lesson preparation meeting to study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important exposition on strengthening the Party's style of work and the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulation. At the meeting, five teachers made speeches on lesson preparation ideas, teaching framework, case selection, and teaching methods.
This is a microcosm of the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) improving the effectiveness of collective lesson preparation. Teachers whose teaching evaluation scores are below a certain score must re-prepare lessons, improve shortcomings, and return to the podium after passing the trial lecture. In the past two years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has organized dozens of school-wide collective lesson preparation meetings around the teaching of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
Grasping collective lesson preparation with one hand and teacher training with the other. The Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) organizes teachers who lecture on special courses on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to carry out teaching training on tracing the source, organizes teachers who lecture on special courses on Party spirit education to carry out teaching training in relevant cadre colleges, and organizes teachers who lecture for training classes for ethnic cadres to conduct teaching research in ethnic areas, promoting the continuous improvement of teaching level.
The Party School (Academy of Administration) is a system, and improving the overall function must adhere to the concept of system, strengthen overall coordination, and integrate resources and forces. In recent years, the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) (国家行政学院) has completed the quality evaluation of the Party Schools (Academies of Administration) of provincial Party committees together with the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee (中组部), provided counterpart assistance to Party Schools in ethnic areas, promoted the classified construction of county-level Party Schools according to local conditions, and established a long-term mechanism for backbone teachers of local Party Schools to follow classes for training. In 2024, it undertook 17 training courses for teachers in the Party School (Academy of Administration) system, training more than 50,000 students.
Embarking on a new journey and setting sail again. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, the Party School (Academy of Administration) will surely keep in mind its original intention of cultivating talents for the Party and offering advice to the Party, inherit the glorious traditions and fine style of the Party School, and make new and greater contributions to comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.

Taierzhuang, Shandong, a heroic city. On the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall is teeming with visitors. "I've always wanted to visit the Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall. Today, I finally brought my family of eight." Du Qigao (杜启高), 80 years old, came early in the morning from Suqian City (宿迁市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省). He leaned on his crutches, watching and telling stories to his descendants...
In the spring of 1938, to stop the Japanese army from advancing south, the Chinese garrison launched the Battle of Taierzhuang. After more than half a month of fierce fighting, the Chinese army defeated the main force of two elite Japanese divisions, seized a large number of weapons and equipment, severely打击了日本侵略者的嚣张气焰 (dǎ jī le rì běn qīn lüè zhě de xiāo zhāng qì yàn - "struck down the arrogance of the Japanese invaders," greatly deflated the arrogance of the Japanese invaders), and greatly boosted the confidence of the people across the country in winning the war.
A rifle and saber weathered by time, yellowed newspapers and photos... The Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall uses more than 2,000 cultural relics, pictures, and historical materials to fully reproduce this major victory on the frontal battlefield since the start of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression—the Battle of Taierzhuang. People come here to look back on the years of war and appreciate the great spirit of the War of Resistance.
"Take our blood and flesh to fight off the enemy's heads."
"Taierzhuang, Taierzhuang, standing by the Grand Canal year after year. The flowers of spring bloom all over the fields, and the flowing water of autumn reflects the moonlight..." The opera "Taierzhuang," with lyrics by An E (安娥) and music by Ren Guang (任光), sings of the former prosperity of this small town.
Inside the memorial hall, a sand table of the ancient city of Taierzhuang shows the former prosperity of the "No. 1 Village in the World"—merchants lined up, fishing lights on the river, songs for ten miles, and markets open all night. Since the Ming Dynasty (明朝), Taierzhuang has prospered and developed with the help of the navigation of the Taierzhuang section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
"War, artillery fire, changed everything. The iron hooves of the Japanese invaders trampled over it, and every inch of the small town was soaked in blood and riddled with bullets." Ye Han (叶涵), a visitor from Shiyan City (十堰市), Hubei Province (湖北省), said indignantly.
At the end of 1937, after the Japanese invading army occupied Nanjing (南京) and Jinan (济南), they attempted to converge from the north and south to attack Xuzhou (徐州), located at the intersection of the two major Chinese transportation arteries, the Jinpu Railway (津浦铁路) and the Longhai Railway (陇海铁路), then advance west to Zhengzhou (郑州) and attack Wuhan (武汉) to the south. Taierzhuang, guarding the throat of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, was the gateway to Xuzhou, so the Japanese invaders pointed their spearhead directly at Taierzhuang.
Visitors stopped in front of several tables. These tables introduced the comparison of the number of participants and equipment of the Chinese and Japanese armies of the same size in the Battle of Taierzhuang through numbers.
"The Chinese army is almost blank in terms of mechanized equipment!" "How can we fight with such a disparity in weapons?"... Visitors spoke one after another, with grief and helplessness in their words.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Chinese army fought very tragically and fiercely.
Air combat—He Xin (何信), the deputy squadron leader of the Chinese Air Force, shot down several enemy planes. On the way back, he was surrounded by 24 enemy planes. Finally, with no ammunition and fuel, and with three bullets in his body, he drove his plane into an enemy plane and died with the enemy. He was only 25 years old when he sacrificed himself.
Ground warfare—"Today is the last day for this battalion commander and all the officers and soldiers of the battalion to sacrifice their lives to serve the country. We will only kill the enemy and not count our lives." Wang Jingshan (王景山), the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 80th Brigade of the 27th Division, led all the officers and soldiers of the battalion to engage in fierce fighting with the Japanese army. Everyone fought desperately and all died heroically. After the battle, the combat details report of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army wrote: Studying the fighting spirit of the 80th Brigade of the 27th Division of the enemy, its spirit of决死勇战 (jué sǐ yǒng zhàn - "determined to fight bravely," determined and brave fighting spirit)... even as enemies, we will sigh at their壮烈 (zhuàng liè - "heroic," heroic and moving).
In the display case, an old photo pierces the heart: on a wall, an area of less than 80 square centimeters is densely covered with 94 bullet holes, with the deepest bullet marks reaching about 10 centimeters.
"Think about it, the thick city walls were beaten like this, so how did our soldiers resist? They were completely using blood and flesh to build a 'copper wall and iron wall'!" Song Min (宋敏), a middle school history teacher from Tancheng County (郯城县), Shandong Province (山东省), comes to the memorial hall every year. "After returning to school, I will incorporate patriotism and the spirit of hard work into the classroom and tell the history to the children."
Kong Lingxin (孔令欣), curator of the Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall, introduced that before the war, there were more than 6,000 houses in Taierzhuang, with thick walls and narrow streets, which could be used as shelters everywhere, and were also conducive to street fighting, which could effectively make up for the lack of weapons and equipment of the Chinese army.
On March 26, 1938, after the battle in the city started, more than 2,000 Japanese troops, with the cooperation of airplanes, artillery, and tanks, broke through the Great North Gate and seized the commanding heights in the city of Taierzhuang. Subsequently, the Chinese and Japanese sides launched a tug-of-war, fighting for seven days and seven nights to seize the commanding heights. The photo with 94 bullet holes came from this period of fighting. Although the Chinese army annihilated hundreds of Japanese soldiers, almost all the soldiers in one battalion were sacrificed.
"Sacrifice, all sacrifice... these words pierce my heart, and these heroes also inspire me." Deng Qian (邓茜), a visitor from Guangzhou City (广州市), Guangdong Province (广东省), said, "Backwardness invites aggression, and development can make us hold our heads high and stride forward."
The memorial hall played a piece of real video data taken by Dutch war correspondent Ivens (伊文斯) and his assistant, reflecting the real scene of the Chinese army's "dare-to-die corps"登城 (dēng chéng - "scaling the city walls," scaling the city walls) and pursuing the remnants of the enemy.
"During the Battle of Taierzhuang, many 'dare-to-die corps', 'brave corps', and 'night attack corps' charged forward, putting their lives at risk." Kong Lingxin said that a "dare-to-die corps" composed of 57 people had only 13 survivors after a night of fierce fighting; another "dare-to-die corps" of 40 people rushed into the city to fight the Japanese army, with only 3 survivors...
"What impressed me the most was the 'dare-to-die corps' who regarded death as home, and what moved me the most was that many Chinese soldiers sang the song 'Sacrifice Has Come to the Last Moment' and fought the Japanese army with a spirit of **大无畏** (dà wú wèi - "utter fearlessness," fearless)." Deng Qian wiped away tears and recited the lyrics of "Sacrifice Has Come to the Last Moment" word by word—
"Compatriots, move forward, don't retreat! Take our blood and flesh to fight off the enemy's heads! Sacrifice has come to the last moment..."
"Commemoration is for better progress"
On April 7, 1938, the flag of victory was planted on the head of Taierzhuang. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Chinese army won a major victory with the weak over the strong. 30,000 soldiers died for their country, annihilating more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, seizing a large number of weapons and spoils, and achieving a major victory on the frontal battlefield since the start of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
"This battle, although in one place, its significance is in affecting the overall combat situation, affecting the whole country, affecting the enemy, and affecting the world!" Comrade Zhou Enlai (周恩来) once said.
The victory of the Battle of Taierzhuang was a model of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang (国民党) and the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) on the basis of the anti-Japanese national united front advocated and established by the Communist Party of China.
At that time, Comrade Zhou Enlai proposed "adopting a strategy of combining positional warfare and mobile warfare, defending points and attacking reinforcements" and "defeating them one by one," and sent someone to Xuzhou to convey the CCP's suggestions on the Taierzhuang operation to Li Zongren (李宗仁), commander of the Fifth War Zone, so that the coordinated operations could be carried out in an orderly manner. Moreover, the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China destroyed nearby railway bridges and highway bridges in Wande (万德), Dakou (大汶口), and areas north of Tai'an (泰安), interrupting the Japanese military transport for more than 10 days, effectively blocking the Japanese army's reserve reinforcements and material supplies to the Taierzhuang area.
"There are many small towns in history that serve as turning points: Waterloo, Gettysburg, Verdun... Today, a new name has been added—Taierzhuang." War correspondent Robert Capa (罗伯特·卡帕) wrote this when reporting on the great victory of Taierzhuang.
Victory was bought with heavy sacrifices. After the war, there were no intact walls or houses in Taierzhuang. The Japanese steel helmets blocked the flow of the canal, and the fragments of grenade wooden handles in the city were more than 3 inches thick.
Under the light of white candles, the names of the heroes in the Battle of Taierzhuang are densely engraved on the "Light of the Nation" martyrs' wall in the memorial hall. Today, only 4,692 names are known, and more are unknown heroes.
"We rely on ambition to fight against Japanese weapons. With these soldiers who shed blood for the country, we have our current happy life." Du Qigao raised his voice and said.
Commentator Wang Qing (王晴) asked everyone: How can we prevent the heroes' blood from being shed in vain?
"We must have firm ideals and beliefs and an unremitting spirit of struggle," "Do every ordinary thing well in a down-to-earth manner," "Don't forget our original intention and forge ahead"... visitors replied.
On the screen in front of the martyrs' wall, visitors pressed the "Offer Flowers" button one after another. Song Min said: "Commemoration is for better progress. The history of humiliation and the history of blood and tears must not be forgotten or dared to be forgotten."
"Japanese imperialism had long coveted the economically rich and water and land transportation developed area of Taierzhuang. As early as 1918, it sent Mantetsu (满铁) agents to conduct detailed investigations on more than a dozen aspects of Taierzhuang, including the economy, resources, climate, and even folk customs, and wrote the investigation report "Taierzhuang Affairs"." Kong Lingxin introduced, "This war was premeditated."
During the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Japanese invaders implemented the "Three Alls" policy of burn all, kill all, and loot all in the Lunan (鲁南) area, committing all kinds of unforgivable crimes. In order to avoid the flames of war, the people had to flee their homes and become homeless.
Kong Lingxin said, "History is the best textbook and the best sobering agent. Only by remembering history can we see the future clearly."
At this time, an audience member sang "Taierzhuang Serenade" a cappella, and every word and sentence penetrated into the heart—
"Taierzhuang, my home, the bricks and tiles of the old days are still talking today. It says that our national dignity is engraved here, and it says that it inspires the descendants to strive..."
"The ancestors defended peace with their lives, so that future generations would not suffer from war"
At the time of national crisis, the sons and daughters of China were unprecedentedly united, **同仇敌忾** (tóng chóu dí kài - "united in hatred against the enemy," sharing a common hatred for the enemy) and resisting foreign aggression together.
"The power of the people is completely combined with the army. The people are rescuing the wounded on the battlefield, the people are acting as detectives, and the people are helping the army transport shells and food. These people are completely showing their patriotic enthusiasm sincerely and fully assuming the responsibility of saving the country." Li Zongren once recalled.
Transporting the wounded, transferring military supplies, digging trenches... A group of historical photos in the memorial hall recorded the real scenes of the people actively participating in the war.
"The people of Lunan welcomed our army to the battlefield, and everyone took out their local specialties to comfort the army. The Fifth War Zone specially organized a people's mobilization committee to widely mobilize the people to support the Battle of Taierzhuang." Kong Lingxin said, as the battle song at the time sang—"Pick up my knife and gun, raise my hoe, we can't wait any longer! We can't wait any longer! The Chinese people rise up together to save China! All parties unite quickly to fight!"
In the display case, a dagger attracted many young people to stop. The owner of this dagger was Liu Shoumin (刘守玟), who was only 18 years old when she sacrificed herself. Shortly after the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Liu Shoumin took off her school uniform and put on military uniform, and joined the battlefield rescue team without telling her parents. In 1938, she followed the troops to Taierzhuang. On the battlefield, a company commander was shot and fell to the ground. Liu Shoumin rushed into the line of fire to rescue him and was unfortunately shot and killed.
"The battlefield service group and the battlefield rescue team, all forces are united together, not afraid of blood and fire, and united to defend the country." Kong Lingxin said.
Liu Xinyu (刘新宇), a post-95s from Jinan City (济南市), Shandong Province, accompanied her parents to visit: "Liu Shoumin was younger than me when she sacrificed herself. Her small body had great strength and courage. Times are changing, but the spirit of heroes is eternal."
What did the sacrifices of the ancestors mean?
"Every year during the Qingming Festival (清明节), I have to go to the Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall to see my father, to worship him in the battlefield where he once shed blood and sacrificed, pour him a glass of white wine, and offer him a bunch of white flowers." In the memorial hall, the emotional drama "Remembrance of Qingming" performed by several commentators was touching.
"The ancestors defended peace with their lives, so that future generations would not suffer from war." Wang Qing坦言 (tǎn yán - "frankly said," frankly said) that she cried every time she performed it and was deeply touched. The performers shed tears, and the audience was moved. Liu Xinyu said, "We must be determined to love the country, cherish the present, and inherit the red gene."
The smoke of history has dissipated, and the Battle of Taierzhuang has left endless thoughts for contemporary people.
"Today's world is not peaceful, we must continue the patriotic feelings of **天下兴亡，匹夫有责** (tiān xià xīng wáng, pǐ fū yǒu zé - "everyone is responsible for the fate of his country," every person bears responsibility for the rise or fall of the nation), the national integrity of **视死如归** (shì sǐ rú guī - "to face death as going home," to face death fearlessly), the heroic spirit of not fearing violence and fighting to the end, and the必胜信念 (bì shèng xìn niàn - "belief in certain victory," belief in certain victory) of being unyielding and persevering, and strive and struggle to promote the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Kong Lingxin said that since its opening in 1993, the Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall has received a total of 87 million Chinese and foreign visitors.
During the Battle of Taierzhuang, Israel Epstein (伊斯雷尔·爱泼斯坦), a reporter from the United Press, came to interview. Later, in his 60s, he came to Taierzhuang again and wrote: Taierzhuang, this place in old China that was severely damaged by war, is now firmly on the road to prosperity and strength...

A grand military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War not only demonstrates comprehensive national strength and boosts morale, but also shows the world China's firm will and strong ability to safeguard peace. The Chinese nation has loved peace since ancient times, and peacefulness is a prominent characteristic of Chinese civilization. But history tells us that merely loving peace is not enough; only with strong national defense capabilities can we maintain peace.
Historical lessons show that: only by being able to fight can we stop war, only by preparing to fight can we possibly avoid fighting, and the more incapable we are of fighting, the more likely we are to be beaten. Starting from the dialectic of war and peace, the contemporary value of the idea of "stopping war with force" needs to be further highlighted.
The *Zuo Zhuan* records: After King Zhuang of Chu (楚庄王) defeated the Jin army, someone suggested piling up the corpses of the Jin army, sealing the soil to form a mound, to deter the enemy. But King Zhuang of Chu (楚庄王) rejected this suggestion, saying: "Fu Wen, zhi ge wei wu (夫文，止戈为武)." From the structure of the character "武" (wǔ - martial), it is composed of "止" (zhǐ - stop) and "戈" (gē - spear), meaning that "武" is used to stop the use of force. The idea of "stopping war with force" is deeply rooted in people's hearts and has become an important ancient Chinese thought about war.
Different from Clausewitz's *On War*, which believes that "war is the use of violence to the greatest extent," traditional Chinese culture has a rich humanistic perspective on war. Confucianism advocates that a country's national defense is crucial. Confucius (孔子) believed that "to not teach the people to fight is to abandon them," meaning that neglecting national defense construction is irresponsible to the people. The *Zuo Zhuan* records, "The great affairs of the state are sacrifice and war." This grand military parade is the best national education for us to maintain common security, eliminate the root causes of war, and prevent historical tragedies from recurring.
The various schools of thought arose during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, when wars were frequent, and they had profound thoughts and discussions on war and peace. The *Tao Te Ching* says: "Fu ci, yi zhan ze sheng, yi shou ze gu. Tian jiang jiu zhi, yi ci wei zhi (夫慈，以战则胜，以守则固。天将救之，以慈卫之)," showing that Taoism believes that war should be treated with "compassion," and even if victory is achieved, it should be "treated with funeral rites," revealing that the purpose of war is not to kill people, but to promote peace through war. Mozi (墨子) said: "Those with armor and shields and five weapons win, those without do not win, therefore the sages made armor and shields and five weapons," emphasizing the necessity of national defense. Legalists believe that "Fu zhan zhe, wan sheng zhi cun wang ye (夫战者，万乘之存亡也)," believing that war is extremely critical to the survival of great powers. Han Feizi (韩非子) proposed that "Yi luan gong zhi zhe wang, yi xie gong zheng zhe wang, yi ni gong shun zhe wang (以乱攻治者亡，以邪攻正者亡，以逆攻顺者亡)," emphasizing that the justice of war is the key to success or failure.
Mencius (孟子) endowed war with moral significance, believing that "those who gain the Tao receive much help, those who lose the Tao receive little help." Xunzi (荀子) believed that "The soldiers of the benevolent are the will of the king." Wang Fuzhi (王夫之), a thinker in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, had a profound exposition on the "benevolent and righteous army," believing that the army "Qi jing ye ru shan, qi dong ye ru chuan. Dang qi ru shan er tian xia wei, dang qi ru chuan er tian xia su. Wei zhi zhe, yi ye, cang ren yu yi ye; su zhi zhe, ren ye, cheng ren yu yi ye, gu yue ren yi zhi shi ye (其静也如山，其动也如川。当其如山而天下畏，当其如川而天下苏。畏之者，义也，藏仁于义也；苏之者，仁也，成仁于义也，故曰仁义之师也)," meaning that the army should be as majestic as a mountain, inspiring awe throughout the world, and at the same time, it should be as moisturizing as a river, and the combination of benevolence and righteousness can achieve the social value of military power. The grand military parade fully demonstrates the demeanor of the people's army as a force for peace, a force for justice, a mighty force, and a victorious force.
Since ancient times, the enormous destructiveness of war has been obvious. *The Art of War* believes that "Shang bing fa mou (上兵伐谋)" and "Fu yong bing zhi fa, quan guo wei shang (夫用兵之法，全国为上)," opposing the abuse of violence, and believing that "to subdue the enemy without fighting is the best of the best." This war theory with both humanistic care is a brilliant chapter in the history of world war thought.
Holding military parades for peace has a long history in China. In the ancient *Book of Songs*, in the chapter *Cai Qi (采芑)*, "Fang Shu li zhi, qi che san qian, shi gan zhi shi (方叔涖止，其车三千，师干之试)," it is recorded that General Fang Shu (方叔) conducted a military parade and exercise. In the chapter *Wu Yi (无衣)*, the soldiers said heroically: "Qi yue wu yi, yu zi tong shang. Wang yu xing shi, xiu wo jia bing, yu zi xie xing (岂曰无衣，与子同裳。王于兴师，修我甲兵，与子偕行)," showing the grand morale of military training.
Only by not forgetting history can we draw nourishment from historical experience. In today's increasingly developed technology, the humanistic ideological value of "stopping war with force" needs to be inherited and promoted.

At the end of August, the Shuocheng District (朔城区) Da Yangko Troupe (大秧歌剧团) of Shuozhou City (朔州市), Shanxi (山西) Province, brought performances to the countryside, arriving at Shangquan'guan Village (上泉观村) to perform the Shuozhou Yangko Opera (朔州秧歌戏) adaptation, "Qingfeng Pavilion" (《清风亭》). At 8:30 p.m., as the rain grew heavier, villagers continued to wait under umbrellas, and some audience members even drove from the city to attend.
"Ready to start!" With a shout from Xie Haibing (谢海兵), deputy head of the Shuocheng District (朔城区) Da Yangko Troupe (大秧歌剧团), the gongs and drums sounded, and the show began. The performance continued with the drizzling rain until 11 p.m.
"Performing in the countryside relies on the reputation among the people. We must present our best performance whenever we are on stage." With more than 200 performances a year in the countryside, Xie Haibing (谢海兵) and his colleagues have long been accustomed to various unexpected situations.
Shuozhou Yangko Opera (朔州秧歌戏) is a traditional opera of Shuozhou (朔州), originating from Tikugu Yangko (踢鼓秧歌) and Tutan Yangko (土滩秧歌), incorporating folk songs, storytelling, and martial arts elements. After absorbing Bangzi Opera (梆子戏) elements in the early Qing Dynasty, it gradually developed into an independent opera art form. To distinguish it from folk song and dance Yangko, it is commonly referred to as "Da Yangko" (大秧歌).
Shuozhou Yangko Opera (朔州秧歌戏) features high-pitched and passionate vocals, rich and varied rhythmic patterns, and its plays are mostly based on folk tales, using dialects in the dialogue, full of local flavor, and popular in northern Shanxi (晋北), central and western Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) and other regions. In 2006, it was selected into the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
The Da Yangko Troupe (大秧歌剧团) was founded in 1956 and currently has 26 members. On the day of the interview, 60-year-old Zhang Fu (张福) was preparing to go through retirement procedures. Zhang Fu (张福) was born into a Yangko family, and he and his father, Zhang Yuanye (张元业), are both representative inheritors of the national intangible cultural heritage project, Shuozhou Yangko Opera (朔州秧歌戏). Before retiring, he and several veteran artists spent three years systematically sorting out the development history, representative plays, and artist biographies of Shuozhou Yangko Opera (朔州秧歌戏), and published the book "Yangko Opera" (《秧歌戏曲》) in 2024. Zhang Fu (张福) fulfilled a wish: "Now I can retire with peace of mind!"
The 1970s and 1980s were the most prosperous period for the troupe. Wu Sheng (武生) actor Zhang Tianxiang (张天祥) recalled that in 1982, the troupe went to Zhuozi County (卓资县) in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) to perform, with a half-month run, two performances a day, and every show was 一票难求 (yī piào nán qiú - "one ticket hard to get," tickets are in great demand).
In the 1990s, the opera performance market shrank, and the Da Yangko Troupe (大秧歌剧团) was greatly impacted. In order to make a living, many people switched careers, and Zhang Tianxiang (张天祥) also submitted two applications for transfer, but the troupe did not agree. At that time, there were few Wu Sheng (武生) actors, and the show could not go on without one. "I joined the troupe at the age of 13, and the troupe nurtured me. I would feel sorry for everyone if I really left." In the end, Zhang Tianxiang (张天祥) decided to stay and perform diligently.
Last year, Zhang Tianxiang (张天祥) was re-hired after retirement. Although he can no longer do somersaults, his love for opera has not diminished. "Whether it's playing a minor role or setting up the stage, as long as the troupe needs it, I'm willing to do anything."
In order to cultivate more new talents, Shuocheng District (朔城区) selected 40 promising young people who loved opera in 2008 and entrusted Datong Art School (大同艺校) to train them for three years. Finally, 30 students passed the assessment and officially took up their posts. Today, these young people have become the backbone of the troupe, and Ding Xinhe (丁新贺) is one of them.
Ding Xinhe (丁新贺) is 33 years old this year and plays the Sanhua Lian (三花脸) role. He learned the Suona (唢呐) from elementary school. The then-head of the troupe saw that he had a good voice and suggested that he switch to acting. In 2010, at the 8th Shanxi Provincial Art School Drama Teaching Program Performance, Ding Xinhe (丁新贺) played the role of Yin Shengdao (尹生道) in the classic Shuozhou Yangko Opera (朔州秧歌戏) play "The Mud Kiln" (《泥窑》), a role with a significant part. In order to play this role well, he practiced extra on his own in addition to rehearsals, and won the first prize for outstanding student performance in the province on his first official stage appearance.
Tan Huina (谭慧娜) and Ding Xinhe (丁新贺) are from the same batch of students, specializing in the Xiaodan (小旦) role. Since last year, she has been trying to share her daily performances on social media, accumulating 100,000 followers in two years. When there are many people in the live broadcast room, thousands of people are online at the same time. Many young people watched her live broadcasts and ran to the scene to watch the performances, which made Tan Huina (谭慧娜) very gratified: "I am very proud to be able to let more people understand and like Shuozhou Yangko Opera (朔州秧歌戏)."
In recent years, Shanxi (山西) has increased its support for opera development. "With the support of the government, we can concentrate on creation. We must produce more high-quality works and bring more good plays to the doorsteps of the people." Xie Haibing (谢海兵) introduced that in recent years, the Da Yangko Troupe (大秧歌剧团) has restored traditional plays such as "The Mud Kiln" (《泥窑》), "Lord Ming's Judgment" (《明公断》), and "Sun and Moon Picture" (《日月图》), and newly created more than 20 plays such as "Women in the Mountains" (《山里的女人》) and "Love Ties to Huangpo Ridge" (《情系黄坡梁》).
In addition to the Da Yangko Troupe (大秧歌剧团), there are six or seven other folk troupes in Shuozhou City (朔州市) active on the stage. Three generations of old, middle-aged, and young artists are using their love and dedication to continue writing new chapters.
Return to TopSeptember is "National Defense Education Month," and this year's theme is "Promoting the Spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and Jointly Building a Great Wall of National Defense."
A country cannot stand without defense, and the people cannot be safe without defense. National defense education for all is a foundational project for building a solid national defense and a strong people's army, and it is an effective way to promote patriotism and enhance the national defense awareness of all people. In recent years, military and local authorities at all levels have carried out national defense education work in a solid manner, gathering a broader consensus on national defense throughout society and guiding the general public to consciously care for, support, and participate in national defense construction with practical actions.
Our army is the people's army, and our national defense is national defense for all. This year's "National Defense Education Month" activities take the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War as an opportunity, with clear themes and innovative forms, effectively enhancing the timeliness, coverage, and appeal of national defense education for all.

Starting with Children, Sowing the Seeds of Red
By Yao Xueqing (姚雪青), reporter of this newspaper
"Students, do you know? In 2020, our school name changed from 'Liu Laozhuang Central Primary School' to 'Liu Laozhuang Company Red Army Primary School'—this change highlights our deep relationship with the heroic company..." On the morning of September 1 this year, in the National Defense Science and Technology Exhibition Hall of Liu Laozhuang Company Red Army Primary School in Huaian (淮安) City, Jiangsu (江苏) Province, moral education teacher Liu Songke (刘松科) started with the school name to give the first graders their "first lesson," and talked about the Red Army roots of the "Liu Laozhuang Company" (刘老庄连).
Liu Songke (刘松科) introduced that the National Defense Science and Technology Exhibition Hall was built in 2013, with the theme of "Strengthening the Army with Science and Technology, Serving the Country as a Youngster," and is divided into a preface hall, an arms display hall, and three major exhibition areas of the Young Military Academy.
Qian Siying (钱思颖), a sixth-grade "Red Little Guide," told the younger students about the deeds of the eighty-two martyrs of Liu Laozhuang (刘老庄) that occurred on this land, and also introduced the equipment models in the exhibition hall such as the "Liaoning" aircraft carrier (辽宁舰) and the "Dongfeng-21" (东风—21).
"In addition to the 'first lesson' for new students every year, students in each grade will come to the exhibition hall for classes on special topics, learning constantly." Liu Songke (刘松科) said that around the theme of national defense education, the school has formed "Red Little Guides," "Red Propagandists" and other red societies among the students, and preached the deeds of the eighty-two martyrs inside and outside the school. Not long ago, the children also wrote letters to the officers and soldiers of the "Liu Laozhuang Company" (刘老庄连) and interacted with them via video.
On the morning of September 18, the sharp sound of air raid sirens cut through the sky and echoed for a long time over the New Fourth Army Liu Laozhuang Company Memorial Park (新四军刘老庄连纪念园). Teachers and students from Liu Laozhuang Junior High School (刘老庄初级中学) stood in neat rows in front of the monument, holding chrysanthemums and bowing their heads in silence.
Afterwards, the teachers and students came to the trenches where the New Fourth Army fought fiercely with the Japanese invaders, and paid tribute to the battle sculptures. Zhu Yuhan (朱羽涵), a junior high school student, said with emotion: "In those days, teenagers were the reserve force of the New Fourth Army; today, we are the living force for building the motherland!"
Xu Xinxing (徐新星), vice principal of Liu Laozhuang Junior High School (刘老庄初级中学), introduced that in order to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese language teachers led the students to create a red stage play "Deep Affection Between Fish and Water" (鱼水深情). The stage play tells the story of many soldiers who heroically sacrificed in a battle during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Later, a local old woman found a young soldier still alive and took him home to treat him. Although the young soldier also unfortunately died three days later, he felt a deep affection between the army and the people during his lifetime.
"National defense is not only a matter for soldiers, but also for each of us," said Zhu Yuhan (朱羽涵), the lead actor in the stage play.
Liu Dongmei (刘冬梅), deputy secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the Huaian (淮安) City Huaiyin (淮阴) District Education and Sports Bureau, introduced that as the hometown of the eighty-two martyrs of Liu Laozhuang (刘老庄), the local area has always adhered to carrying out national defense education for all with patriotism as the core, making good use of red education bases such as the Eighty-Two Martyrs Cemetery (八十二烈士陵园), and deeply exploring the patriotic spirit of the "Liu Laozhuang Company" (刘老庄连) to strengthen students' national defense awareness.
Anhui Normal University (安徽师范大学) --
Focusing on Student Guidance, Kicking a Good "Goose Step" of Youth
By Li Junjie (李俊杰), reporter of this newspaper
On the eve of the 94th anniversary of the September 18th Incident, a red film viewing event was underway in the "one-stop" student community of the Huajin (花津) campus of Anhui Normal University (安徽师范大学).
Less than 4 o'clock that afternoon, the classroom was already full. Everyone arrived early to wait for the screening of the anti-Japanese war-themed movie "The Hundred Regiments Offensive" (百团大战).
The heroic battles and charging figures, every frame of the picture, shocked the students' hearts like a resounding drum. On the screen, the soldiers' firm eyes and fearless shouts seemed to travel through time and space, truly appearing in front of every student.
Seeing everyone concentrating and holding their breath, Xiang Jiachun (项家春), deputy minister of the People's Armed Forces Department of Anhui Normal University (安徽师范大学), was quite gratified: "This film viewing event is not only a visual and spiritual shock, but also a vivid practice of the school's national defense education."
During the "National Defense Education Month," the School of Literature combines its major to tell red stories, the School of Journalism and Communication organizes national defense education speech contests, the School of Music carries out "Art Enters the Barracks" activities, and the School of Fine Arts uses its expertise to "paint portraits for martyrs"... Xiang Jiachun (项家春) said that each activity has both a "positive" value core and a "new" form carrier, making national defense education curricular, professional, and systematic, and constantly talking about it in new ways.
As a "National Defense Education Featured School" of the Ministry of Education, Anhui Normal University (安徽师范大学) combines teaching practice to not only establish a military theory teaching and research section and offer compulsory military courses, but also establish a college student military enthusiasts association.
Tian Xiaodong (田晓冬), a student majoring in physical education at the School of Physical Education, is a member of the military enthusiasts association. "I have longed for the military camp since I was a child. During the military training when I first entered school, I had the idea of joining the army." Tian Xiaodong (田晓冬), who loves sports, has a spirit of not admitting defeat and not being afraid of hardship. He never interrupts his 45-minute physical training every day, and actively prepares for physical fitness to sign up for the army.
In recent years, Anhui Normal University (安徽师范大学) has innovatively carried out national defense education activities, continuously improving the effectiveness of education, and guiding young students to more firmly and consciously care for and love national defense.
"Now, our students have a higher willingness to join the army, and their national defense awareness has also been enhanced," said Hu Jing (胡靖), deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Anhui Normal University (安徽师范大学), adding that this is inseparable from the school's national defense education and patriotic education.
According to statistics, since 2021, the number of Anhui Normal University (安徽师范大学) graduates who have enlisted in the army has increased year by year. As of now, more than 300 students have gone to the military camp to start their military careers.
Soon, the military training for new students will begin. Hu Jing (胡靖) said that the school will focus on making good use of various national defense education resources, not only teaching students to stand at attention, kick in goose step, and practice physical fitness, but also hoping to plant seeds of loving the motherland and bravely defending the country in their hearts.

Naval Museum --
Let Cultural Relics Speak and Tell Good National Defense Stories
By Jin Zhengbo (金正波), reporter of this newspaper
A museum is a university. On September 3, a national defense education activity with the theme of "Departing for Victory" was launched at the Naval Museum (海军博物馆) in Qingdao (青岛), Shandong (山东) Province.
At the event site, a high-definition screen broadcast live the grand military parade held in Tiananmen Square (天安门广场) in real time. Subsequently, artists from Qingdao (青岛) launched creations around the themes of "Remembering the History of the War of Resistance," "Praising the Great Rivers and Mountains of the Motherland," and "Perpetuating Peace," splashing ink and outlining mountains and rivers on rice paper and canvas. While creating, they explained the stories and spirits behind the calligraphy and painting. This is not only a deep review of the years of war, but also an enthusiastic prospect for a peaceful future.
"We must remember history and continue to promote the great spirit of the War of Resistance." "When I grow up, I also want to be a navy and defend the motherland's vast sea territory." At the end of the event, the message book was filled with children's voices.
Walking into the Naval Museum (海军博物馆), a strong marine atmosphere and a heavy historical atmosphere come to the fore. Lin Wenhu's (林文虎) blood-stained badge, a famous combat hero of the Wanshan Naval Battle (万山海战), the shrapnel taken from the brain of the hero Mai Xiande (麦贤得), the Yangtze River ship (长江舰) replicated at a ratio of 1:1, China's first self-developed nuclear-powered submarine... Each exhibit tells every visitor an epic of the magnificent navy.
"The People's Navy's journey through wind and rain is highly condensed in the Naval Museum (海军博物馆)." The person in charge of the exhibition and publicity room of the Naval Museum (海军博物馆) introduced that the rich cultural relics in the museum carry heavy historical memories and are vivid teaching materials for national defense education.
"Looking up to the theme sculpture of 'The People's Navy is Loyal to the Party' and visiting the exhibition halls with rich content, we deeply realized the glorious course of the navy's construction and development under the strong leadership of the Party, and enhanced the motivation to strive to strengthen the army and make contributions to the ocean!" Recently, more than 600 new students from the Basic College of Naval Aviation University organized the "First Lesson of the School Year" in the museum, opening a spiritual journey of remembering history and accumulating strength.
"During this summer vacation, the Naval Museum (海军博物馆) received a total of more than 1.4 million visitors. In the exhibition hall, tourists stopped and stared at each photo and each object, and asked the docents various questions from time to time." The staff of the Naval Museum (海军博物馆) introduced that many parents bring their children here to learn about the history of the navy and receive national defense education.
Zhang (张) from Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, and his family regarded the Naval Museum (海军博物馆) as an important stop on their summer trip. He said with emotion: "This visit gave my child a vivid national defense education lesson, which not only taught him naval knowledge, but also planted a seed of patriotism in his heart. I hope he will study hard and become a useful person to the motherland and the people when he grows up."
In recent years, the Naval Museum (海军博物馆) has innovated the form of exhibition, enriched the content of exhibition, made cultural relics "live," made history "move," enhanced the cohesion and centripetal force of national defense education, and stimulated the audience's love for the country, ambition to strengthen the country, and determination to serve the country.

Guangdong (广东) Armed Police Force --
Encountering Olive Green, Deepening Patriotic Feelings
By Ren Tongtong (任彤彤), reporter of this newspaper
Veterans of the Dongjiang Column (东江纵队) tell their personal stories, armed police soldiers demonstrate shooting actions... When leaving the military camp by car, scenes flashed in the mind of Zhu Xiaoping (朱小平), a junior high school student at the Jinan University Hong Kong and Macao Children's School (暨大港澳子弟学校) in Guangzhou (广州), Guangdong (广东) Province, like seeds taking root in his heart.
On the afternoon of September 14, more than 500 Hong Kong and Macao teenagers walked into the Guangdong (广东) Armed Police Force to carry out the "Walking Together and Strengthening the Country with Me" Hong Kong and Macao Teenagers Entering the Military Camp activity to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, experiencing military camp life at "zero distance."
At the launch ceremony, the situational short film "Beacon Fire Shines on the Dongjiang" (烽火耀东江) deeply touched Chen Jiayin (陈家茵), a girl from Hong Kong.
Chen Jiayin's (陈家茵) father used to be a Hong Kong policeman. When she was a child, "patriotism" was a high-frequency word in the principles her father told her. When she saw Li Hong (黎洪), a veteran of the Dongjiang Column (东江纵队), tell the story of the "Hong Kong-Kowloon Rescue" in the short film, she understood her father's intentions even more: "Knowing the past difficulties makes us cherish the present days even more. 'Patriotism' is not just talk. We cannot live up to the sacrifices of our predecessors."
"This is not just an activity to enter the military camp, but also a beneficial attempt to deepen youth exchanges in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area." Lai Yunfei (赖云飞) of the Political Work Department of the Guangdong (广东) Armed Police Force introduced that this activity to enter the military camp incorporates elements to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, increases the arrangement of interactive experience activities, and invites some Hong Kong and Macao students to participate in a 3-day military camp experience, arranging military training, military camp life, cultural activities, etc., interspersed with activities such as "Remembering History and Dialogue with Dongzong Veterans" and donating the book "Memoirs of the Anti-Japanese War Behind Enemy Lines in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao" (《粤港澳敌后抗战回忆录》).
"Fast shooting, drone demonstrations and other subjects made my eyes feast, and the feeling of personally experiencing simulated shooting was great!" Gao Kaiyang (高恺阳), a student at the Jinan University Hong Kong and Macao Children's School (暨大港澳子弟学校) in Guangzhou (广州), has grandparents who are veterans of the Dongjiang Column (东江纵队). Under the influence of what he has seen and heard since childhood, he has longed for the military camp since he was a child. Gao Kaiyang (高恺阳) said: "The People's Army is constantly developing and growing. If I have the opportunity, I would like to join the army when I grow up."
In the hot military camp, there are loud songs of strengthening the army and the blood of sincere service to the country. "This activity has deepened their beautiful vision of the military camp." Guo Taiqin (郭太琴), a teacher at the Jinan University Hong Kong and Macao Children's School (暨大港澳子弟学校) in Guangzhou (广州), said that after receiving the activity notice, the Hong Kong students in the class actively signed up, and the parents were also very supportive.
It is understood that this activity was jointly organized by the Guangdong (广东) Armed Police Force, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the People's Government of Guangdong Province (广东省人民政府港澳事务办公室), the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (香港特别行政区政府民政及青年事务局), and the Education and Youth Development Bureau of the Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region (澳门特别行政区政府教育及青年发展局). Wu Shixiong (吴世雄) of the Guangdong (广东) Armed Police Force said: "This activity to enter the military camp has strengthened the emotional bond between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao teenagers to walk together and create a future together, and enhanced the national identity of Hong Kong and Macao teenagers."

Return to TopBy: 李龙伊
In early autumn, a solemn and stirring scene brought tears to the eyes of countless Chinese sons and daughters: the remains of 30 Chinese People's Volunteer Army martyrs from South Korea, escorted by four J-20s, returned to their homeland aboard a Y-20 special plane to be buried in their native soil. "Today, please listen to the roar of our mighty dragons and see our beautiful rivers and mountains," the words of the J-20 pilot resonated in the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
The roar of warplanes is a profound tribute to the heroic souls; the prosperity and peace of the great era is the best comfort to the martyrs.
More than 70 years ago, these most beloved people crossed the Yalu River (鸭绿江) without hesitation, sacrificing their lives to defend their country. Upon their return, they were greeted by a great motherland that could look at the world on an equal footing, and a peaceful land no longer ravaged by war. On the electronic screens in the streets of Shenyang (沈阳), "China Red" lit up the city, and the slogan "Mountains and rivers mourn together, paying tribute to heroes" was imprinted in the hearts of the masses, transforming into a salute to the heroes.
The magnificent spirit of heroes stirs between heaven and earth.
As the twelfth Martyrs' Memorial Day approaches, cadres and the masses in various places go to martyrs' memorial facilities to cherish the memory of the heroic martyrs, inherit the red gene in silent bows, and strengthen their will to move forward in deep gazes. According to incomplete statistics, since modern times, about 20 million martyrs have bravely dedicated themselves to national independence and people's happiness. "So many deeds must be done for sacrifice, we dare to teach the sun and moon to change to a new sky."
Coming from the years of war and marching towards the great rejuvenation, heroes are always the most shining coordinates of the nation. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, facing heavy encirclement, General Yang Jingyu (杨靖宇) had unwavering faith: "Revolution is like fire. No matter how heavy the snow seals the mountains and the birds and animals hide, as long as we have the spark, we can drive away the cold and bring light and warmth." The spirit of the hero is touching.
Time flies, and this spark travels through time and space, inspiring people. In mid-September, the heroic battle flag of the "Yang Jingyu Detachment" (杨靖宇支队), which was stained with the flames of war and condensed with loyalty, was officially displayed in the Jilin Province (吉林省) Modern History Exhibition. "Every Chinese person who sees it will have infinite respect for heroes and infinite love for their country," "Only by remembering history can we live up to our predecessors and create the future"... Many people expressed their feelings when they felt the style of the battle flag at close range. In the mountains and waters of Baishan (白山), the spiritual torch is passed on continuously.
"A promising nation cannot be without heroes, and a promising country cannot be without pioneers." Since the new era, the country has commemorated heroes and defended martyrs in the most solemn way: establishing Martyrs' Memorial Day, promulgating the Law on the Protection of Heroes and Martyrs, and improving the system of commendation for meritorious service and honor... The whole society is forming a trend of the times and a value orientation of "admiring heroes and defending heroes."
In the era of peace, heroes are still called for; ordinary people can also become heroes. Looking at the land of China, hero stories are everywhere: the Shenfei "Luo Yang Youth Commando Team" (沈飞“罗阳青年突击队”) is committed to tackling various technical problems and contributing to the development of the country's aviation industry; on the towering snowy plateau, the new era heroes who defend the country and guard the border practice the oath of "The great rivers and mountains, not an inch of land will be given up" with their lives, and build towering boundary markers with their youth and blood... Greatness comes from the ordinary, and heroes come from the people. Ordinary persistence, dedication, and perseverance are vivid examples of the spirit of the martyrs being passed down from generation to generation.
Every remembrance is a spiritual baptism; every tribute is a transmission of faith. Striding forward on the journey of rejuvenation, the ideals believed in by the martyrs are being realized, and the cause pioneered by the martyrs is continuing. Today, we must inspire heroic spirit, forge ahead on a new journey, create tangible achievements through down-to-earth struggle, and continue to write a new era of heroic epic.

A shallow pool of water sits beside a silver beach, surrounded by naturally growing plants such as sea purslane and purslane, full of vibrant greenery. This is a near-natural salt marsh, the formation of which requires good seawater quality and soil conditions. Today, on the islands and reefs of the South China Sea, the sea is clear and the trees are lush. The once-white coral reef beaches are now filled with greenery, and humans and nature are living in harmony on this marine territory.
On a corner of an island reef in the South China Sea, casuarina trees stand like loyal guards, enclosing a square piece of land. The officers and soldiers divide it in two, one half as a vegetable garden and the other half for planting seedlings of mangoes, broad-leaved banyan trees, and the like. "It is very difficult to plant trees on the island reef." Hu Dongdong (胡冬冬), a second-level sergeant who has been stationed on an island reef for more than 20 years, said that they have explored methods such as first building a windbreak with casuarina trees, and then cultivating vegetable gardens in the leeward side and trying to plant tropical plants, gradually figuring out the "tricks" of island reef greening.
On Zhongjian Island (中建岛), the 59 species and more than 4,000 trees planted by generations of officers and soldiers have now grown tall and towering; on Huayang Reef (华阳礁), the plant species cultivated by officers and soldiers have reached more than 120, and an ecological pattern of trees, shrubs, and grasses connecting and complementing each other is accelerating; on Meiji Reef (美济礁), officers and soldiers use environmental monitoring stations to monitor greening data, comprehensively and dynamically grasping the growth of vegetation... More and more green plants are giving the islands and reefs of the South China Sea a vibrant vitality.
"The older generation of officers and soldiers handed over the islands and reefs to us, and we must better pass them on to future comrades!" In the hearts of the officers and soldiers in the South China Sea, guarding the islands and reefs is not only about guarding them, but also about protecting the environment.
Walking into the Zhubi Reef (渚碧礁) Marine Environment Monitoring Station, a huge LED screen instantly attracts everyone's attention. On the screen, the underwater world slowly unfolds like a dreamlike picture, and information such as seawater temperature and salinity is updated every 10 minutes. Officers and soldiers can monitor the surrounding marine ecological environment 24 hours a day.
In recent years, with the help of science and technology, the islands and reefs of the South China Sea have successively completed the construction of ecological environment protection systems such as drip irrigation systems, marine area monitoring systems, water purification systems, and kitchen waste treatment systems. A comprehensive island reef governance pattern based on the self-circulation of the ecosystem has basically taken shape.
On Dong Island (东岛), observation and communication soldier Zhang Qiang (张强) said that they have always adhered to the "three no's" principle: not a single one of the tens of thousands of bird eggs can be picked up; not a single one of the tens of thousands of boobies can be caught; and the flocks of birds resting in groups cannot be frightened even once. A series of measures have made Dong Island (东岛) a habitat for Chinese white-bellied boobies and the second largest breeding population of white-bellied boobies in the world.
In addition to seabirds, sea turtles have also become "frequent visitors" to the islands and reefs. Not long ago, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and reef-guarding officers and soldiers discovered a green sea turtle nesting ground for the first time on Yongshu Reef (永暑礁), once again confirming that the excellent marine ecological environment in the South China Sea provides suitable habitat conditions for endangered species. Whenever they see baby sea turtles hatching and struggling to crawl towards the sea, the officers and soldiers feel deeply gratified. They say: "We must care for the ocean as we care for life."
Return to TopThe Huajiang Canyon Bridge officially started construction on January 18, 2022, and opened to traffic on September 28, 2025. Over the past three years, builders have erected a "flying rainbow" in the "cloud," marking a new breakthrough in China's infrastructure technology and engineering wisdom under extreme conditions. The Huajiang Canyon Bridge is 2,890 meters long, with a main span of 1,420 meters. The height from the bridge deck to the water surface is 625 meters. The main span ranks first in the world among mountain bridges, and the bridge height ranks first in the world.
After the bridge officially opens to traffic, the Huajiang Canyon will transform from an impassable chasm to a thoroughfare. The travel time between Guanling Buyi and Miao Autonomous County (关岭布依族苗族自治县) in Anshun City (安顺市), Guizhou Province (贵州省), and Zhenfeng County (贞丰县) in Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (黔西南布依族苗族自治州) will be greatly shortened. This will effectively connect tourist resources such as Huangguoshu (黄果树), Longgong (龙宫), and Wanfenglin (万峰林), forming a synergistic effect, reshaping the regional tourism economy, driving social development, enhancing people's well-being, providing strong support for Guizhou to build a world-class tourist destination, and exploring a new path for the integrated development of bridges and tourism in the western region.
Achieving Major Breakthroughs to Promote Innovation in Bridge Technology Development
The Huajiang Canyon Bridge, invested and constructed by Guizhou Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd. (贵州交通投资集团有限公司), is a key control project of the Liuzhi-Anlong Expressway (六枝至安龙高速公路) in Guizhou Province. It represents the culmination of drone technology, BIM modeling, intelligent monitoring, ultra-high-strength materials, and new construction techniques in bridge construction in China and even the world today. Its completion overcomes the natural barrier of the "Earth's crack," allowing traffic to flow freely between the two sides of the Huajiang Canyon.
The entire project construction process can be simply summarized as "drone piloting—excavation (anchorage)—erection (cable tower)—rope weaving (catwalk erection and main cable traction)—hoisting (steel beam 'assembly in the air')—closure—bridge deck paving and ancillary facility installation."
The project construction team, with Party members as the backbone, took on the challenge and concentrated their efforts, adhering to the principles of "real-time monitoring to improve safety; precise maintenance to reduce costs; intelligent management to improve efficiency; and data support for scientific decision-making." They provided valuable first-hand information for the design and construction of similar bridges, which helps to promote the development and innovation of bridge technology.
"Understanding" the language of the wind. Guizhou is characterized by high mountains and deep valleys, with rugged terrain and unpredictable changes in wind force, humidity, and temperature, all of which must be considered when building bridges and roads. To ensure the safety of the Huajiang Canyon Bridge during construction and operation, the project team launched a canyon wind data monitoring study one year before construction began. They measured parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, and atmospheric turbulence in the deep canyon environment with high wind speeds and complex wind fields. Through three-dimensional imaging technology, they further gained an intuitive understanding of the spatial distribution, dynamic changes, and basic laws of the wind field environment, providing a strong basis for studying the flow patterns of canyon winds.
Identifying technical "breakthroughs." During the construction of the Huajiang Canyon Bridge, the project team innovatively developed a high-performance forged and welded combined saddle structure. The new saddle exhibits excellent performance in terms of bearing heavy loads, resisting fatigue, and resisting corrosion, with its performance improved by 44% compared to traditional saddles. This saddle, which integrates forging technology and intelligent welding technology, represents another breakthrough in China's suspension bridge construction technology. It can significantly improve the bearing capacity and service life of bridges, greatly reduce maintenance costs, and provide strong protection for the long-term safe operation of bridges. During the research and development process, the project team fully considered environmental factors, and the use of new materials reduced resource consumption and environmental pollution, in line with the concept of green development.
Achieving "intelligent" bridge construction. With the continuous development of China's bridge engineering, the construction technology of ultra-high concrete cable towers is becoming increasingly important. The Huajiang Canyon Bridge applied a high-pier integrated automatic climbing formwork system, which integrates template installation, formwork climbing, rebar binding, precise concrete placement and pouring, automatic vibration, wind environment monitoring in the canyon area, fire protection, lightning protection, construction lighting, safety monitoring, and emergency escape during the bridge design and development process. Through the systematic matching and integration of intelligent equipment, the system achieves high efficiency and intelligence in construction, enabling seamless connection between various processes and significantly shortening the operating cycle. Through data analysis, the use of this system has significantly improved construction efficiency while reducing errors caused by manual operation, effectively ensuring the improvement of project quality.
Exploring new practices in "digital bridges." The builders of the Huajiang Canyon Bridge connected to the Beidou system (北斗系统) for 24-hour continuous dynamic sampling, improving the intelligent operation efficiency of the cable crane system, achieving three-dimensional precise hoisting and positioning, and ensuring that each hoisted steel truss is managed digitally and intelligently. "Digital bridges" are profoundly changing the construction and management methods of bridge engineering. By continuously optimizing data processing technology and strengthening cross-departmental cooperation, bridge engineering will become safer, more efficient, and more intelligent in the future, providing stronger support for social and economic development.
Continuously Iterating and Upgrading to Create Guizhou's Bridge-Tourism Integration 3.0 Version
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Guizhou has kept its mission firmly in mind, expressed gratitude, and forged ahead, continuously making breakthroughs in bridge construction driven by technological innovation. Among the overlapping mountains, bridges have been erected one after another, and Guizhou has achieved a transportation leap from "thousands of gullies and ravines" to a "high-speed plain," earning the reputation of "World Bridge Museum," laying a solid foundation for the integrated development of bridges and tourism.
As Guizhou's Bridge-Tourism Integration 3.0 version, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge breaks through the traditional "transportation + sightseeing" model and plans to create a diversified industrial ecology of 50 square kilometers with a "one center and six areas" layout, achieving a qualitative leap from "thoroughfare" to "scenery." Compared with the sightseeing 1.0 version of the Baling River Bridge (坝陵河大桥) and the cultural tourism 2.0 version of the Pingtang Bridge (平塘特大桥), the innovation of the Huajiang Canyon Bridge is reflected in the in-depth transformation of pre-planning, business integration, and full-cycle operation.
A breakthrough from "added function" to "native design." Unlike the Baling River Bridge, which added sightseeing facilities after construction, and different from the Pingtang Bridge, which relied on service areas to expand tourism functions, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge incorporated tourism needs into the project plan from the beginning of construction in 2022. Relying on the "Guizhou Province Bridge-Tourism Integration Project Quality Grade Division and Evaluation (Trial)" standard, it established a full-chain specification covering business layout, safety management, and service quality, building a construction pattern of "making attractiveness on the bridge and making productivity under the bridge."
An upgrade from "single sightseeing" to "multi-dimensional experience." Different from the closed nature of traditional highway service areas, various tourism formats will be operated simultaneously on the opening day of the Huajiang Canyon Bridge: the sightseeing elevator has a maximum speed of 4 meters/second, reaching the top of the main tower of the bridge in 1 minute, with a 360-degree panoramic view allowing tourists to directly face the canyon cloud sea; the bridge corridor glass sightseeing hall uses 4 cm thick three-layer laminated glass, equipped with 5D special effects devices, bringing a shocking experience at a vertical height of 625 meters; the cloud cafe at the top of the bridge tower introduces a world champion coffee brand, integrating canyon scenery with taste enjoyment; and extreme projects such as bungee jumping and aerial swing in the Cool Play Sky Park complement the 300-meter-long light and water curtain show day and night.
A reshaping from "single point viewing" to "stringing beads into a chain." After the bridge opens to traffic, scenic spots such as Huangguoshu, Longgong, and Wanfenglin will form a "one-hour tourism circle," joining forces with the original scattered karst landscapes, paleobiological sites, and ethnic village resources, efficiently connecting the "waterfall spectacle (Huangguoshu)—geological exploration (Guanling Fossil Group (关岭化石群))—high bridge experience (Huajiang Canyon Bridge)—peak forest scenery (Wanfenglin)" boutique route, significantly enhancing the regional tourism competitiveness.
From the 1.0 exploration of the Baling River Bridge to the 3.0 breakthrough of the Huajiang Canyon Bridge, Guizhou has completed the iterative upgrade of bridge-tourism integration in more than 10 years. The Huajiang Canyon Bridge, a "steel flying rainbow" standing above the canyon, not only created two world records but also provided valuable and replicable experience for promoting the transformation of "engineering miracles" into "development advantages," writing a new answer sheet for the integrated development of bridges and tourism in Guizhou, and allowing the "World Bridge Museum" business card to shine more brightly in the new era.

After retiring, I began painting album leaves of figures, and then created works with garden themes. Now, this batch of works is being exhibited at the National Centre for the Performing Arts Art Museum (West Hall) with the theme of "Gathering Emptiness and Seeking Realm." I am accustomed to focusing on one theme for a period of time and concentrating on creating one type of work. I chose to create figure paintings, landscape paintings, and flower-and-bird paintings in parallel very early on. Over the past thirty or forty years, I have held thematic exhibitions of flowers and birds, landscapes, and figures, including thematic exhibitions of hand scrolls. The concentrated creation of garden-themed works is my periodic re-understanding of Chinese painting and my painting experience in a new stage of life. As an artist, the joy of being immersed in painting is beyond words.
Garden painting is a genre of Chinese landscape painting. In the process of creating this batch of works, I collected, studied, and researched a lot of information about traditional Chinese gardens, including classic aesthetic treatises. The discussions by some garden research experts on the aesthetic relationship between Chinese painting and Chinese gardens have been very enlightening to me. Ji Cheng (计成) of the Ming Dynasty proposed "Although made by man, it seems to be created by nature" (虽由人作，宛自天开), and Mr. Chen Congzhou (陈从周) advocated the "poetic and picturesque" (诗情画意) of garden aesthetics. Mr. Zong Baihua (宗白华) has classic theories such as "dynamic beauty" (飞动之美) and "spatial beauty" (空间美感). These are the theoretical foundations for the creation of artistic conception in traditional Chinese gardens, and also the source of my thoughts for creating this batch of works. In my creation, I started from the metaphysical aesthetic level, adhered to the spiritual core of Chinese traditional painting, which is dominated by artistic conception, and strived to create a distance between the works and the actual garden scenery, full of traditional aesthetic implications.
The title of this exhibition, "Gathering Emptiness and Seeking Realm" (集虚寻境), is taken from Zhuangzi's (庄子) philosophical concept of "Only the Dao gathers emptiness" (唯道集虚). In my opinion, the exploration of "emptiness" is a necessary path for the expression of artistic conception. First of all, I realized that the "solidity" of painting modeling is contrary to the "emptiness" pursued by traditional Chinese painting. For example, when depicting the complex structure of garden rockeries, only with the help of the expressiveness of brush and ink can the effect of the intergeneration of emptiness and solidity be achieved in the modeling. Secondly, some garden-themed works do not depict real scenes. "Four Seasons Garden Realm" (四时园境) shows the spring, summer, autumn, and winter, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums, rain, snow, wind, and frost in my heart. The virtual realm can convey the charm of art far more than the real scene. Furthermore, in this batch of works, I pay great attention to the overall coordination of the picture, deliberately dilute the strong contrast of black and white relationships, while emphasizing the use of lines, highlighting the subtle changes of light ink in the entire picture, pursuing the expression of the profound artistic conception of landscape painting, and expressing the sense of air in the picture. The "emptiness" created by light ink has become an important expression of artistic conception.
Over the course of 4 years, I completed more than 100 garden-themed works. Using the eight characters "desolate and indifferent, leisurely and quiet" (萧条淡泊，闲和严静) from Ouyang Xiu's (欧阳修) "Appreciating Paintings" (鉴画) to summarize, I want to embody "desolate and indifferent" (萧条淡泊) when painting literati gardens, and "leisurely and quiet" (闲和严静) when painting royal gardens, in order to present the different atmospheres of the two. In creation, it is very important to grasp the expression of the different temperaments of literati gardens and royal gardens. Ouyang Xiu (欧阳修) believes that works with a leisurely and tranquil conception and a profound artistic conception are the most difficult to paint, because this kind of mood and artistic conception is difficult to directly show through painting, and needs to be expressed through implicit techniques to show a deeper spiritual realm. "Full Garden of Poetic Realm into Painted Screen" (满园诗境入画屏) takes Xiequ Garden (谐趣园) as the object. The grandeur and magnificence of the royal garden are transformed into red pillars with historical accumulation. Most of the picture uses light ink to present the lake surface, withered lotus, pavilions and terraces in the distance, and lush trees and rocks. The artistic conception expressed in the distance brings the inherent highness of the royal garden into an elegant, fresh, leisurely, and quiet atmosphere. In contrast, "Snow Reflecting Elegant Hall" (雪映雅堂) looks from the Wufeng Xianguan (五峰仙馆) of Liuyuan Garden (留园) towards the rockery in the snow scene. The pure ink pillars form a spatial contrast between the interior and exterior with the rockery expressed in light ink. The line quality in the brush and ink on the rockery virtualizes the structure and shape of the rockery, but deliberately embodies the details of the brush and ink, creating the profound and desolate temperament of the literati garden.
The works of each era are rich in the characteristics of the era, and whether they are connected with the traditional artistic conception is very important. Chinese painting creation cannot start anew, and needs to be innovated on the basis of inheriting tradition—traceable and self-contained. My method is not copying, but "reading" and "understanding." It is communicating with the ancients through classic works, and it is also a process of learning, selecting, taking, giving up. I hope that Chinese painting works that are connected with the traditional cultural artistic conception are positive and beautiful, and can carry on the past and open up the future.

Eighty years have passed, and the memories of blood and fire沉淀 (chén diàn - "precipitated," accumulated) in the long river of history are unforgettable. 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, the Anhui Art Museum (安徽省美术馆) launched the special exhibition "Traces of History: The Magnificent Years in Sculpture." More than 20 outstanding sculptures on the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression use silent language to open a window for us to look back on the magnificent years.
Sculpture is a solidified poem. Artists use stone, bronze, and resin as media to reshape the beacon fire years of the 1980s and 1990s into three-dimensional epics. Sheng Yang's (盛杨) *Unnamed Hero* depicts a soldier with firm eyes, a portrayal of the countless unnamed heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. Wu Weishan's (吴为山) *Loyal Souls of the Iron Army* vividly reproduces the arduous journey of the New Fourth Army (新四军) in adhering to the anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines after the reconstruction of its headquarters in Yancheng (盐城). The lifelike character portrayals allow the audience to feel as if they are on the scene, truly experiencing the spirit of the heroes.
The image of the mountain is repeatedly presented in the exhibition, reflecting the creators' thinking on the language of sculpture and becoming a vivid metaphor for the national spirit. Huo Boyang's (霍波洋) *Five Heroes of Langya Mountain (狼牙山)* fuses the five heroes with the mountain rocks, implying the eternal spirit of the martyrs. Guo Jifeng's (郭继锋) *Magnificent Years* shapes revolutionary predecessors with a mountain-like composition. The texture of the clothes undulates like mountains, and the texture resembles wind-eroded loess, praising the revolutionaries' steadfastness. Wang Liwei's (王立伟) *Mountain Soul* perfectly integrates the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army (东北抗联) soldiers with the mountain structure, interpreting the connotation of "the people are the mountain ridge."
The epic of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in which the army and the people are of one heart and fight against foreign enemies together, unfolds slowly in the exhibition hall. Sculptors transcend simple historical scene narratives, focusing on highlighting the spirit of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in which all people are united and share a common hatred against the enemy. Whether it is Yu Jingxue's (余景学) *Taihang Soul (太行魂) - Common Hatred Against the Enemy* featuring Eighth Route Army (八路军) soldiers standing side by side with the people, or Xu Hongfei's (许鸿飞) *Forward, Forward* engraving the moment when the East River Column (东江纵队) soldiers charged, these works let us see that it is the brave struggle of thousands of Chinese people that has gathered into a powerful force to save the nation from peril.
The exhibition is full of dialogues that transcend time and space, which are the sculptors' reflections on history and reality. Jing Yumin's (景育民) *Same Age* allows anti-Japanese war soldiers to meet contemporary young people at the Great Wall, guiding viewers to understand historical inheritance. Tan Qiang's (谈强) *Life Never Stops* interprets the theme of the revolutionary spirit being passed down from generation to generation through the hand-in-hand of soldiers and children. This artistic treatment respects history and reflects reality.
"Sculpting" is the creation of art, and "traces" are the imprints of history. When we stand in front of these works, we can not only feel the power of art, but also hear the echoes of history, so that our spirits are uplifted.

In the past, sculptures in city squares and installations in street gardens were the main carriers of public art. They stood silently like still notes, maintaining an invisible distance from people. However, in recent years, a new wave of art has quietly emerged, no longer fixated on the material presentation of grand narratives, but choosing a path that is closer to life and more heartwarming—going into communities and integrating into daily life. This new form, called "community art," is becoming a new way to build a harmonious society with its unique charm.
In Dongchang New Village (东昌新村) in Lujiazui (陆家嘴), Shanghai (上海), a slightly old carport, after negotiation and renovation by artists and residents, has been ingeniously transformed into a delicate "mini-museum," presenting the mysterious veil of "Sanxingdui (三星堆)" and the exquisite carvings of "Longmen Grottoes (龙门石窟)" to the residents, allowing history and culture to flow in familiar spaces. In Huajiadi Xili Community (花家地西里社区) in Beijing (北京), the "Huaxi Art Museum (花西美术馆)," which was transformed from idle civil air defense works with the full participation of residents, has emerged from its cocoon, becoming not only a new space for aesthetic education but also a warm home for community deliberation and artistic performances. Guangzhou (广州), Shenzhen (深圳), Xiamen (厦门), Nanjing (南京), Hangzhou (杭州), Qinhuangdao (秦皇岛) and other places have also seen the emergence of Digua Community (地瓜社区), Aranya Community (阿那亚社区), and other communities. Communities have been revitalized, and art has played a prominent role in them. These vivid practices, like pearls scattered in the urban texture, connect the close relationship between art and people's lives, allowing art to shed the alienation of the "other" and truly integrate into the everyday world, nourishing neighborhood life.
"Community art" resonates deeply with the current development needs of Chinese society. It signifies that the concept of urban development is shifting from simply pursuing the external improvement of urban aesthetics to paying more attention to the inner desire of urban people for a "concrete sense of existence." Unlike traditional public art, which focuses more on the beautification of the material level, "community art" more deeply touches people's daily behaviors and spiritual world. Through rich and diverse artistic media, communication activities, and cultural events, it integrates art into the daily lives of individuals and groups. Art here is no longer a cold object or a distant concept, but a warm current flowing between neighbors, a binder for jointly building a better home. From the perspective of social interaction theory, "community art" creates a public space that promotes understanding, respects differences, and encourages dialogue, allowing every resident to become a participant and creator of art.
Under the wave of globalization and rapid urbanization, the structure, population, and lifestyle of communities have undergone tremendous changes. How to maintain the sense of identity and cohesion of community residents in the midst of change has become an important issue of the times. Contemporary China is undergoing unprecedented social transformation, and building a harmonious society needs to start from every micro-community. In the construction of homes, "community art" will play a unique role, depicting an increasingly bright and heartwarming new landscape.

Autumn Equinox is the time when Yin and Yang are equally divided, and the colors of autumn are evenly distributed, presenting a harmonious and balanced beauty, which also evokes endless reverie about autumn among literati and artists. Taking painting as a medium to fully appreciate the characteristics of the Autumn Equinox, one will discover its inherent vitality and richness.
"Thunder begins to subside," "Hibernating insects begin to seal their doors," and "Water begins to dry up." The ancients' descriptions of the three phases of the Autumn Equinox all convey the signal that coldness is approaching and all things are closing and storing. The change in climate also gives people a different feeling about autumn. In paintings and poems, literati often endow autumn with an image of quiet solitude or plain detachment. In Du Fu's (杜甫) "Eight Poems on Autumn Feelings" (秋兴八首) of the Tang Dynasty, images such as maple trees, clusters of chrysanthemums, solitary boats, reeds, and fishermen all appear, reflecting the author's mood and providing a literary echo for later autumn landscape paintings. "Autumn Clearing at Yuzhuang" (渔庄秋霁图) is a famous work by Ni Zan (倪瓒) of the Yuan Dynasty, which creates a vast river surface through the composition of "one river and two banks," and creates an emotional space of desolation and coldness with the help of chaotic rocks, withered trees, and distant peaks. However, this painting is not without vitality. Years later, the author inscribed a poem on it, using the color of emerald to describe the autumn mountains and lakes in his memory. In Dong Qichang's (董其昌) "Eight Views of Autumn Excursion" (秋兴八景图), the coldness of autumn is nowhere to be seen, replaced by a bright and beautiful atmosphere. The painter not only uses color to add layers and rhythm to the picture, but also uses color to compose the picture. Warm and cool colors rise and fall in the album. He uses ochre, grass green, Prussian blue, carmine and other colors to apply to distant mountains, near embankments, grass and sparse forests, and the beauty of the dynamic and colorful autumn is vividly displayed on paper. The solar terms repeat themselves, which means the constancy of heaven and earth, but people's expression of nature is ultimately a product of their own minds.
Zhao Mengfu's (赵孟頫) "Autumn Colors of Que and Hua Mountains" (鹊华秋色图) in the Yuan Dynasty also harmonizes the picture with color, and its pursuit of balanced beauty coincides with the balanced and harmonious beauty of the Autumn Equinox. In the picture, the Que and Hua Mountains (鹊华两山) in the distance are located on the left and right, colored with Prussian blue mixed with azurite. The small islands in the foreground are colored with light Prussian blue, which not only forms a triangular shape in position, but also relies on color to mark the formal internal connection between the three, jointly playing the role of stabilizing the picture. At the same time, roofs, sheep, dead leaves, and islets are cleverly dotted and laid out with colors such as red, yellow, and brown, forming an overall color balance correspondence. The area around Que Mountain (鹊山) is a place for labor and habitation, while the foot of Hua Mountain (华不注山) is sparsely populated. The two mountains stand on both sides, with warmth and coolness facing each other, and the small islands in the foreground serve as the boundary. The trees on the islands are dense and sparse, and the green and red intersect, as if all things in the world are reconciled here. Although this painting is not a depiction of the Autumn Equinox solar term, Zhao Mengfu takes autumn as the theme and reveals the order of seasonal rotation and cosmic operation to the viewers. Just like the calm and plainness of the Autumn Equinox, Zhao Mengfu can harmoniously control the various opposing factors in the picture in a soothing and peaceful rhythm, which perhaps can only be done by a master like him who is eclectic in painting techniques.
The Autumn Equinox is also a time of harvest for all things. There are many Chinese and Western paintings depicting the autumn harvest. Han Huang's (韩滉) (attributed) "Auspicious Harvest" (丰稔图) in the Tang Dynasty and the anonymous "Auspicious Grain and Singing Birds" (嘉谷鸣禽图) in the Yuan Dynasty show the scenery of "fragrant rice and a happy harvest" from different angles. "September" in the Limbourg Brothers' "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" and Camille Pissarro's "Apple Harvest at Éragny" in France express the joy of farmers' harvest through light and color, showing the rich and gorgeous side of autumn.
If we turn the observation of autumn scenery from a macro panorama to a subtle local view, we can get a glimpse of the moving aspects of autumn from "Hibiscus and Golden Pheasant" (芙蓉锦鸡图). In the painting, Emperor Huizong of Song (宋徽宗) Zhao Ji (赵佶) used his Slender Gold style calligraphy to write "Autumn strength resists frost, and the golden pheasant with a tall crown" (秋劲拒霜盛，峨冠锦羽鸡), which clarifies the season. "Resisting frost" refers to hibiscus, and the Autumn Equinox is the time when it blooms. It, together with chrysanthemums, responds to the seasonal definition in the poem. Two branches of hibiscus extend from the left side of the picture, with green leaves and pink flowers, gorgeous but not ostentatious. One branch horizontally divides the picture, and a colorful golden pheasant lightly lands on the branch, with its tail feathers diagonally running through the lower right corner, forming a cross with the chrysanthemum branch growing from the lower left; the other branch slants towards the upper right, forming a parallel state with the golden pheasant's turning head and the trend of the chrysanthemum branch; looking at the two clusters of flowers on the branches, two butterflies are attracted to flutter. In the picture full of visual rhythm, every object echoes another object, and every movement has an opposite movement to contrast with it, from which one can feel the colorful and dynamic balance of natural life.
During the Autumn Equinox, the earth begins to become colorful. To feel the splendor of autumn, one might as well step into the world of "Red Maple and Deer" (丹枫呦鹿图) of the Five Dynasties (see picture) and listen to the deer's cry and the rustling of maple leaves. Here, you can feel the most gorgeous side of autumn. The red maple forest is no longer a foil to the picture but becomes the visual center. Colors such as ochre, vermilion, yellow, white, and green no longer occupy their respective positions. They fill the picture and merge into one, which may be the original state of nature, and another expression of the equal division of autumn colors.

In the art of Chinese embroidery, Suzhou embroidery (苏绣) landscapes are a beautiful sight. It uses needles as pens and threads as colors, constructing a profound artistic conception and endless charm of mountains, rivers, and the universe through tangible warp and weft and extreme density, full of rich poetic beauty.
The creative themes of Suzhou embroidery landscapes are mostly taken from landscape paintings by famous artists of past dynasties and the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan (江南). The embroidery is deeply influenced by the "Wu School of Painting" (吴门画派) and regional culture, forming an artistic style that is implicit, refined, elegant, and clean. Combined with the craft characteristics of flatness, neatness, fineness, density, uniformity, smoothness, harmony, and light, it constantly interprets the beauty of Jiangnan landscapes with a unique silk charm.
Image modeling is a prominent feature of Suzhou embroidery landscapes and an important bridge for the poetic integration of embroidery techniques, traditional aesthetics, and landscape images. Si Kongtu (司空图), a poet of the late Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Twenty-Four Styles of Poetry": "When the image is about to emerge, nature has already created wonders." Suzhou embroidery artists take "learning from nature externally and obtaining the source from the heart internally" as their concept, transforming landscape images into emotional images. Through the density and direction of stitches and the subtle connection of colors, they realize the artistic integration of silk and painting, and use silk threads and pigments to construct poetic landscapes with vivid charm. It can be said that Suzhou embroidery landscapes are an image-based aesthetic expression of objective natural landscapes by embroidery artists who "measure objects and take their essence," and even more a philosophical reproduction of the poetic aesthetic meaning of embroidery, blooming with unique craft charm and profound cultural brilliance.
Traditional Chinese landscape paintings create thousands of artistic conceptions through the technique of contrasting emptiness and fullness. Suzhou embroidery artists deeply understand this concept and skillfully use the "emptiness" (blank space) of the silk fabric and the "fullness" (image) of the silk thread embroidery in the creation of landscape themes to create a spatial artistic conception of "beyond the image" and "a vast expanse within a small space," breaking the dense form of traditional embroidery and enhancing the artistic expression of the picture. *Splendid Jiangnan* (锦绣江南), led by Yao Jianping (姚建萍), has emptiness within fullness and fullness within emptiness. The blooming spring flowers and majestic mountains in the foreground echo the vast Taihu Lake (太湖) and hazy scenery in the background, vividly expressing the prosperous scene of Taihu Lake.
The principle of "considering white as black" in calligraphy creation is widely used in contemporary embroidery, making the works full of modern beauty and rhythmic beauty. Liang Xuefang's (梁雪芳) *Lotus Rhyme* (荷韵) presents viewers with the clear, cold, and tranquil artistic conception of a lotus pond in winter in Jiangnan with a virtual and real needlework technique. The foreground and mid-ground lotus techniques are realistic, using black embroidery thread to express the graceful form of the withered lotus. The blank background and the withered lotus form a sparse and dense rhythm, presenting a simple and elegant beauty, and also foreshadowing the tenacity and rebirth of life. This blank space skillfully reproduces the artistic conception of the southern lotus pond and the philosophical beauty of withering without decay and fading without injury.
Silk thread is an indispensable medium for landscape painting embroidery. Suzhou embroidery mainly uses natural mulberry silk and pays attention to "splitting the silk." Natural mulberry silk has good luster. By splitting the silk, extremely delicate picture layers can be embroidered. The interweaving and stacking of silk threads of different color grades can produce subtle light and shadow changes, giving the work a sense of reality and vividness. The fusion of thread and color makes Suzhou embroidery landscapes full of a dynamic life rhythm and implicit oriental charm.
The integration of landscape and embroidery allows us to see the vitality of diverse artistic innovation. Suzhou embroidery landscapes not only continue the Jiangnan cultural context but also contain humanity's pursuit of a poetic life. With the development of the times, it is believed that Suzhou embroidery will open up a broader creative space in the deep cultivation of traditional cultural charm and modern aesthetics.
