Xi Jinping (习近平) welcomed King Felipe VI's (费利佩六世) visit to China, pointing out that both China and Spain have profound historical and cultural foundations. Over the 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two countries have adhered to viewing and developing bilateral relations from a strategic and long-term perspective, respecting each other, supporting each other, and achieving mutual success. They have set a model for friendly coexistence and common development between countries with different histories, cultures, and social systems, and have also played an important role in promoting global openness and cooperation and safeguarding international fairness and justice. The Spanish Royal Family has made outstanding contributions to the development of Sino-Spanish relations. As the two countries celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership, King Felipe VI's (费利佩六世) state visit to China is of great significance for promoting the continuous development of friendly cooperation between the two countries.
Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that China cherishes the traditional friendship with Spain, values Spain's unique role in international and regional affairs, and is willing to work with Spain to jointly build a comprehensive strategic partnership with more strategic stability, more development vitality, and greater international influence. The two sides should further strengthen mutual support, maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges, strengthen strategic guidance, and ensure that the relations between the two countries always move on the right track. It is necessary to further promote pragmatic cooperation. China is willing to import more high-quality Spanish products, explore the cooperation potential in emerging fields such as new energy, digital economy, and artificial intelligence, expand mutual investment, and create more landmark projects. The two sides can also complement each other's advantages and jointly develop third-party markets such as Latin America. It is necessary to further promote people-to-people connectivity, strengthen exchanges in the fields of culture and education, and support each other in running cultural and language institutions in each other's countries. China will continue to extend the visa-free policy for Spain to facilitate personnel exchanges and bring the people of the two countries closer.
Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Today's world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and the cause of peace and development still has a long way to go. The concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind that I have proposed is to hope that all countries will transcend differences in social systems and ideological divergences, build consensus through dialogue and consultation, and jointly turn the people's yearning for a better life into reality. China is willing to work with Spain to support the United Nations in playing a central role in international affairs, safeguard free trade rules and international economic and trade order, build a more just and reasonable global governance system, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Felipe VI (费利佩六世) said that he is very happy to pay a state visit to China on the 20th anniversary of the comprehensive strategic partnership between Spain and China. The friendly exchanges between Spain and China have a long history. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two countries have always trusted and respected each other and are committed to common development and prosperity. China's development achievements are world-renowned and admirable, and its successful experience, especially in poverty alleviation and green and low-carbon development, is worth learning from. The Spanish government firmly adheres to the one-China policy, supports safeguarding national territorial integrity, and is willing to work with China to promote the continuous development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries, bring more benefits to the people of the two countries, and make greater contributions to world peace and stability. Chinese companies' investment has strongly promoted Spain's economic development and green transformation. The West is willing to maintain close exchanges with China, seize the important opportunities brought about by China's implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy and trade, industry, science and technology, and green energy. Thank you to China for implementing the visa-free policy for Spain, and we are willing to strengthen exchanges in the fields of culture, language, and tourism to enhance people's friendship. History can only move forward, not backward. Spain and China share a high degree of consensus on many international issues, and both support multilateralism and support resolving disputes through dialogue and consultation. Spain highly appreciates the four global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping (习近平) and is willing to work with China to jointly address the uncertainties in the international situation, safeguard the international trade order, and promote the stable development of the global economy.

A few years ago, delivery driver Shu Long (舒龙) often pondered this question.
He came to Suzhou (苏州市) from Shuyang County (沭阳县), Jiangsu (江苏) to work hard on his own, and was separated from his wife and children for many years. How to completely solve the trouble of "running back and forth"? A multiple-choice question was placed in front of him: return to his hometown, where there are fewer job opportunities; stay in Suzhou (苏州市), where his wife's job is not settled, and the expenses are higher than in his hometown, can he settle down?
"You work too hard every day, braving the wind and rain..." In the phone call, facing his wife's concern, Shu Long (舒龙) fell into contemplation. This worry hides the common anxiety of millions of new employment form workers.
With the vigorous development of the platform economy, the ranks of new employment form workers have grown rapidly. However, issues such as lack of occupational safety, difficulty in defining labor relations, difficulty in children's enrollment, difficulty in family employment, and limited career development have also plagued them.
The difficulties of the masses are the topics of the times.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) earnestly urged: "Our social groups are becoming more refined and differentiated. We need to keep up with the management and services for the courier delivery personnel, ride-hailing drivers, e-commerce practitioners, and others that have emerged in recent years, and fill this gap."
Top-level design, accelerating progress.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) first mentioned the concept of "new employment forms"; the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) emphasized "strengthening the protection of the rights and interests of flexible employment and new employment form workers"; the establishment of the Central Social Work Department (中央社会工作部), and the successive establishment of social work departments of local party committees, have taken practical measures to relieve the difficulties of new employment groups...
Policy breakthroughs, progressing layer by layer.
Weaving a dense "safety net" of systems. Facing this vigorously emerging group of new employment form workers, with no precedent to follow, how to solve the problem?
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) took a broad and long-term view: "We must follow the trend and let it develop naturally and stand out" "The corresponding laws, regulations, policies and measures cannot be late."
In recent years, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (人力资源和社会保障部) and other relevant departments have formulated guiding opinions, issued special rights and interests protection policies for key groups, clarified the labor protection responsibilities of enterprises, and improved the basic rights protection system for labor remuneration, rest, and labor safety.
Fasten the occupational "seat belt". For workers traveling through the streets and alleys, occupational injury protection is the most urgent safety need.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of flexible employment and new employment form workers, and expand the pilot program for occupational injury protection."
Since 2022, occupational injury protection pilot programs have been carried out in 7 provinces. In July of this year, based on summarizing the pilot experience, the pilot expansion of occupational injury protection was promoted from three dimensions: expanding provinces, adding enterprises, and broadening industries. The pilot scope has been expanded to 17 provinces, striving to ensure the bottom line of rights and interests protection for new employment groups.
How to make every new employment form worker feel secure and at ease in the city?
"Do a good job in ideological guidance and cohesive service for new employment groups." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out the direction.
Effective labor dispute mediation is an important basis for enhancing the "delivery personnel's" sense of belonging to the city. In recent years, more than 3,000 one-stop mediation centers for labor disputes in new employment forms have been established in various places, and more than 30,000 related disputes have been mediated.
…………
One policy after another is closely linked, with clear and firm goals: to enhance the sense of gain, happiness, and security of new employment groups.
Policy guarantees provide confidence, and Shu Long's (舒龙) family made a decision - "The whole family goes to Suzhou (苏州市)!"
In August 2022, Shu Long (舒龙) learned about the local "five entries" policy for points: by participating in volunteer services, skills training, and other methods to accumulate points, which can be exchanged for public services such as "entry to medical care, entry to school, entry to jobs, entry to childcare, and entry to the Internet." This policy provides precise support for new employment groups on the basis of universal benefits.
"Participating in anti-fraud publicity can add points, and participating in training can also add points. It's not difficult and it's practical!" In less than half a year, the points reached the standard, and his wife successfully became a community grid member.
The changes in Shu Long's (舒龙) family are a microcosm of the benefits that thousands of new employment form workers have received from the implementation of policies, outlining a warm group portrait of this group moving from "anxiety" to "peace of mind."
In Chaoyang District (朝阳区), Beijing (北京), public welfare stations such as "Jiang Xiaoai (将小爱)" and "Home for Urban Builders (城市建设者之家)" provide housing security for new employment groups;
In Ruijin City (瑞金市), Jiangxi (江西), the new employment group's vocational ability improvement platform creates learning classrooms, "customizes" teaching content, and students can graduate without tuition fees;
In Yiwu City (义乌市), Zhejiang (浙江), promote the pairing of community health service centers with express delivery and takeaway stations to bring health services to the "delivery personnel";
…………
Concern is implemented, policies take root, and a sense of gain arises spontaneously.
From central deployment to local innovation, from institutional guarantees to warm services, a safety net that is becoming increasingly dense is supporting the dreams of millions of new employment groups.

Early winter, snow falls on Sanjiangyuan.
The morning mist has not yet dissipated. In Qumalai County (曲麻莱县), Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (玉树藏族自治州), Qinghai Province, Cai Ding (才丁), an ecological ranger of Sanjiangyuan National Park (三江源国家公园), wrapped his Tibetan blue patrol uniform tightly, slung a canvas bag printed with "Garbage Sorting Protects Sanjiangyuan," and walked towards the herders' homes, stepping on the thin snow. A new round of door-to-door publicity is about to begin.
"Protect Sanjiangyuan (三江源)," President Xi Jinping (习近平) has always kept this in mind.
The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China listed "new and major progress in the construction of a beautiful China" as one of the main goals of economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal proposes to "strengthen the construction of ecological barriers in areas such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."
As the first national park system pilot in the country, Sanjiangyuan National Park covers an area of over 190,000 square kilometers. Yushu Prefecture (玉树州) spans the core area of Sanjiangyuan (三江源). The long distances between various places within the region made garbage transportation a problem.
"Accumulate a batch, clear a batch." In Cai Ding's (才丁) memory, "To pick up garbage on the grassland, I wore out pair after pair of gloves."
The solution starts with proactive action and source classification.
"Did you sort the kitchen waste well yesterday?" Cai Ding (才丁) asked Peng Cuo (朋措), a herder in Angla Village (昂拉村), Qumaihe Township (曲麻河乡), Qumalai County (曲麻莱县).
Peng Cuo (朋措) pointed to two iron buckets outside the yard and said, "The highland barley residue goes to the left, and the paper bag packaging goes to the right, clearly separated. You can weigh them again to see how many points these two buckets can be exchanged for."
These points can be exchanged for grain, oil, and daily necessities at the "green supermarket" in the township.
As for other garbage, it is collected and processed by the county, township, and village three-level garbage transfer system.
A closed loop of "source classification, efficient transfer, and green treatment" is gradually taking shape in the Sanjiangyuan (三江源) area: exploring a cross-regional garbage transfer toll reduction mechanism to allow garbage from remote villages to be "transported out"; promoting green treatment technology to make garbage "completely treated"; and introducing a "green supermarket" points system to promote garbage classification, making herders "willing to participate."
"The greatest value is in ecology, the greatest responsibility is in ecology, and the greatest potential is also in ecology." Yushu (玉树) places the protection of the "Water Tower of China" in a prominent position, promoting special actions to ban plastics and reduce waste throughout the region... As measures are implemented in detail, the ecology continues to improve: the wetland area in the Sanjiangyuan (三江源) area has increased to nearly 50,000 square kilometers, and the water quality of the main streams of the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Lancang River at the sections leaving Qinghai Province is at or above Class II.
How to transform green waters and green mountains into gold and silver mountains?
"The answer lies in our 'two mountains' - snow mountains and grass mountains," said Duojie Dingzeng (多杰丁增), Secretary of the Party Committee of Qumaihe Township (曲麻河乡).
The snow mountain refers to Yuzhu Peak (玉珠峰). With the continuous improvement of the ecology, the number of mountaineering enthusiasts has increased, and the local area is actively developing supporting services to help the masses increase their income.
The grass mountain is Zari Ganagou (杂日尕纳沟), which is now full of yaks. After the establishment of Sanjiangyuan National Park (三江源国家公园), the grass mountain has been able to rest and recuperate. The orderly development of ecological animal husbandry has made "Yushu Yak (玉树牦牛)" a national agricultural product geographical indication.
Ecological dividends have become people's livelihood benefits. This year, Angla Village (昂拉村) paid 590,000 yuan for medical and pension insurance for the villagers and distributed more than 1,600 yuan in dividends to each villager.
"The beauty of one place" drives "the prosperity of a whole area." Cai Ding (才丁) said with emotion: "A good ecology and a good life are inseparable, like butter and zanba."
"To thoroughly study, publicize, and implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, we will continue to strengthen the construction of ecological barriers, protect the 'Water Tower of China,' and strive to achieve the unity of economic, social, and ecological benefits," said Tan Sheng (谭晟), Deputy Governor of Yushu Prefecture (玉树州) and Secretary of the Qumalai County (曲麻莱县) Party Committee.
Return to TopThis newspaper reported from Beijing on November 12th (Reporter Ouyang Jie (欧阳洁)) - The National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration (国家粮食和物资储备局) released data on the 12th showing that, to date, various grain business entities across the country have cumulatively purchased over 100 million tons of autumn grain. Market purchasing and sales are relatively active, and the progress of the purchase is generally smooth.
The peak season for autumn grain purchasing began successively in early October and has now gradually entered a concentrated volume stage. Overall, it shows characteristics such as rapid purchasing progress, active market purchasing and sales, and high quality fetching premium prices. This year, the demand for corn is relatively strong, and diverse entities are actively entering the market. The corn harvest progress in Northeast China (东北地区) is ahead of last year, and the quality is generally good.
Relevant state departments have successively launched the minimum purchase price implementation plan for medium-late indica rice in Henan (河南), Hunan (湖南), and Heilongjiang (黑龙江). Various regions have prepared storage capacity exceeding 10 million tons for minimum purchase price purchases, which can meet farmers' needs for selling grain.
Next, the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration (国家粮食和物资储备局) will continue to strengthen monitoring and early warning of the grain market, closely track market dynamics, coordinate market-oriented purchasing and policy-based storage, and focus on optimizing services for farmers, so that farmers can sell "worry-free grain" and "assured grain" and achieve 舒心粮 (shū xīn liáng - "comfortable grain," grain sold with ease of mind) and 放心粮 (fàng xīn liáng - "reassured grain," grain sold with confidence).

Whatever development philosophy exists, there will be corresponding development practices.
A development perspective is linked to a performance perspective. To promote the construction of a unified national market in depth and break the "involutionary" chaos of investment promotion, it is particularly necessary to correct deviations in the performance perspective.
Starting in 1992, Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) in Hunan (湖南) Province used a proactive transformation in the second half of 2021 to usher in a "breakthrough" rebirth.
There was sacrifice, squeezing out excess, and a cliff-like drop in data—
The number of introduced projects and the contracted investment amount decreased sharply from 51 and 40.1 billion yuan in the first half of 2021 to 14 and 3.338 billion yuan in the second half.
There was gain, consolidating the foundation, and more stable development steps—
The contracted investment amount continued to rebound, increasing from 12.803 billion yuan in 2022 to 22.056 billion yuan in 2024; the performance rate has been climbing year by year, from 52.31%, 88.46%, 100%, and 100% from 2021 to 2024, respectively.
Between increases and decreases, the changes in the development perspective and the performance perspective are reflected.
"There are clear rules on what local governments can and cannot do when promoting economic development, especially investment promotion, and they cannot go their own way."
"Do not engage in short-sighted performance projects, but do more things that benefit the present, benefit the long term, and benefit future generations."
…………
The earnest teachings of General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) guide the direction.
Maintaining focus and rejecting "involution," Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) insists on using the correct performance and development perspectives to guide investment promotion work and accelerate integration into the unified national market.
The Xiang River (湘水) surges, winding north, stirring up new waves of high-quality development.
Appearance and Reality—
Seeking truth and being pragmatic, practicing the correct performance perspective
No money spent, no discounts, can projects be attracted?
A few years ago, Lu Xianjun (鲁贤君) would not have dared to say this.
He is the director of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Service Center (创新创业服务中心) (hereinafter referred to as the "Double Innovation Center") of Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区). For investment promotion, he has traveled all over the country for more than 10 years. "At that time, we relied on 'involution,' competing on policies and subsidies."
Once, he was in negotiations with a company, and the other party asked for a relocation subsidy of 30 million yuan. Unexpectedly, while he was still reporting this, news came that a city had offered over 100 million yuan and "intercepted" the project halfway.
From initially building relationships and relying on connections, to zero land prices and factory construction on behalf of others, to fixed asset investment subsidies of 20% to 30% and the return of 5 to 7 years of local retention of value-added tax... At that time, some places artificially created "policy depressions," giving various preferential treatments, turning investment promotion into "buying projects with money."
"The earlier preferential policies were varied, and it took us a month and three reviews to figure them out," sighed Li Hao (李浩), director of the Economic Cooperation Bureau (经济合作局) of Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区).
Behind the chaos and disorderly competition is the fault of misplaced performance and development perspectives.
"Numbers determine officials, and officials produce numbers," with projects worth tens of billions of yuan at every turn; packaging projects, enclosing hundreds or thousands of acres of land, making up a good story, but in the end, 只闻楼梯响、不见人下来 (zhǐ wén lóu tī xiǎng, bù jiàn rén xià lái - "only hear the stairs creaking, but see no one coming down," much fanfare but no concrete results).
In 2014, the "Notice of the State Council on Cleaning Up and Regulating Preferential Policies Such as Taxation" (《国务院关于清理规范税收等优惠政策的通知》) was issued, comprehensively regulating preferential policies such as taxation, maintaining a fair market competition environment, and promoting the formation of a unified national market system. However, path dependence formed, and no one was willing to "slow down."
"It looks like a scene of flourishing flowers, but in reality, it is full of crises," said Wu Lingyun (邬凌云), secretary of the Party Working Committee of Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) and secretary of the Tianyuan District (天元区) Party Committee, recalling the scene when he took office in 2021.
As the platform company of Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区), Zhuzhou High-tech Group Co., Ltd. (株洲高科集团有限公司) had debts exceeding 60 billion yuan at its peak.
What is the concept? Someone calculated that the interest alone was more than 3 billion yuan a year, an average of more than 8 million yuan a day. When the market was good, commercial land in Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) was about 4 million yuan per mu. Converted, this is equivalent to "losing" two mu of land every day.
Emphasis on visible achievements over potential achievements, emphasis on appearance over substance, and reckless "big moves" seriously overdraw local financial resources.
"Tianyuan District (天元区) once became the district with the highest debt in the province, with debts due almost every day." At that time, Wu Lingyun (邬凌云) "was so worried that he couldn't sleep," 寅吃卯粮 (yín chī mǎo liáng - "eat in the ying year what is meant for the mao year," to live beyond one's means; to eat the seed corn).
Looking at the whole country, the new development concept has taken root, and high-quality development has become a consensus. The traditional model of relying on land finance to support the rapid development of parks and "using commerce to supplement industry" is unsustainable.
Emergency stop!
After research and judgment, the new Party Working Committee of Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) decided to legally terminate several so-called "big projects" that had not made progress for many years and had only a "gorgeous appearance."
"This is a breach of contract, and people will have to pay a lot of compensation!" "Wait and see, there will be a lot of trouble later!"... Some park cadres who did not understand the inside story discussed.
However, years have passed, and to this day, the investors who knew they were in the wrong have not even dared to make a phone call.
Show the bottom line!
Resolutely correct deviations. In August 2021, the "Seven Opinions on Investment Project Negotiations" (《关于招商项目洽谈的七条意见》) was issued: "The investment promotion policy for land purchase projects must not break the bottom line of zero land price" "For land purchase projects with land demand exceeding 200 mu, be cautious in negotiations"...
The policy "suddenly turned," and many cadres were at a loss for a while. Li Hao (李浩) admitted, "We have been doing this all the time in the past, and other places have also been doing this. How can it suddenly not work?"
To break the chronic diseases and eliminate the stubborn ailments, to go from "trapped" to "awake," the knot must be untied from the root.
"Adhering to high-quality development should become an important part of the performance perspective of leading cadres" "We must establish a correct performance perspective and do more things that lay the foundation and benefit the long term"...
In August 2021, Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) held multiple ideological discussions for three consecutive days, facing problems directly, being frank with each other, and using new ideas and new concepts to cleanse the minds of cadres and employees. Amidst the various opinions, the firm support from the Zhuzhou Municipal Party Committee (株洲市委) also sent a "reassurance pill" to Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区).
Calculate less on small matters and more on long-term benefits to make the "cake" bigger.
Seeking truth and being pragmatic, and being steady and solid. Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) climbed out of the "mud" and achieved a 100% performance rate for two consecutive years. At the Hunan Province Investment Promotion Work Symposium (湖南省招商引资工作座谈会) held at the beginning of this year, Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) made a typical speech and was the only park representative.
"Objectively speaking, the data we reported is not good-looking, but it is solid and real." Wu Lingyun (邬凌云) knows that the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like drawing silk, "Nirvana is far from being realized."
Further comprehensively deepening reforms has become a key step taken by Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区).
Breaking and Establishing—
Turning the blade inward, building a new development ecology
Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) has a "strange" feature—
The park's institutional settings do not correspond to any government departments and do not have approval functions.
"No power, only service." The words of Liu Zhiyong (刘智勇), director of the Management Committee of Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区), reflect the change in the park's role.
In June 2022, after bidding farewell to the turbulence at the beginning of the policy "emergency brake," Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区), which gradually got on the right track, began institutional reforms.
Previously, Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) and Tianyuan District (天元区) were "integrated as a park and government." The park's institutions had a strong atmosphere of emphasizing indicators and grasping management, and a weak awareness of seeking practical results and optimizing services.
Giving full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, the precise action of the "visible hand" can interact positively with the "invisible hand."
"Shift from development and management thinking to service thinking." Wu Lingyun (邬凌云) realized that to eradicate the root cause of "involutionary" competition, reform is imperative.
Only those who are capable can have a position, and those who have a position must be capable.
District-managed cadres can be promoted or demoted; all more than 200 established staff members of the Management Committee took examinations and competed for positions, and only more than 60 people were eventually retained.
All internal institutions were rebuilt, and the "three-determination" plan did not set a framework. It was written in after thinking it through and trying it out.
Wu Lingyun (邬凌云) bluntly stated: "Do not correspond to government departments to avoid departments focusing on and entangled in assessment tasks and indicator data; each department finds its own work, and there is no need for those who have nothing to do to exist."
Breaking and establishing at the same time, what is brand new is not only the structure but also the operating model.
The newly established "Six Bureaus and One Center" only do one thing—service.
The Project Service Bureau (项目服务局) is responsible for "tackling" the project construction process. Technical review is separated, the process is simplified, and the processing time is reduced by nearly 50%; it manages both agency services and monitors progress, and companies only enter one door.
Zhuzhou Qianjin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (株洲千金药业股份有限公司) decided to purchase existing production lines in other places at the end of last year because of the urgency of the new drug launch and because it had not engaged in construction for more than 10 years.
"Can we build a new one locally?" Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) was full of sincerity.
"It is definitely more cost-effective in terms of comprehensive costs, but there are only 14 months left, which is unrealistic!" Gong Yun (龚云), deputy general manager of Qianjin Pharmaceutical (千金药业), was worried.
The Project Service Bureau (项目服务局) took the lead, and relevant functional departments worked together to come up with a process node table on the same day.
"The procedures are handled by a dedicated person, and the entire process is promoted according to the nodes, without any delay." Gong Yun (龚云) was very surprised.
"Attract, settle, and thrive." The "Six Bureaus and One Center" are each responsible for covering the entire life cycle of enterprises and projects.
Competing on services also means competing on skills.
Zhuzhou High-tech Zone (株洲高新区) formed 9 industrial learning groups to study carefully and thoroughly. Lu Jun (鲁俊) from the Beidou (北斗) industry learning group and his colleagues came up with a landing plan for low-altitude application scenarios with more than 20 routes and complete risk avoidance, which impressed Fengyi Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.

With the help of intelligent construction equipment, transportation engineering construction operations are more precise and of more reliable quality; equipped with intelligent transportation systems, accidents are reduced and traffic is smoother; relying on intelligent design algorithms, routes are more reasonable and travel is greener... "Artificial Intelligence + Transportation" is changing production and lifestyles.
Recently, the Ministry of Transport (交通运输部) and seven other departments jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on 'Artificial Intelligence + Transportation'," deploying 16 specific tasks around four aspects: technology supply, scenario empowerment, etc., and proposing that by 2030, an intelligent comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network will be fully promoted, key core technologies will be independently controllable, and the overall level will be among the world's leaders.
Boosting the Efficiency of Demonstration Channels by About 20%
The deep integration of artificial intelligence and transportation lies in solid technical support. The opinions focus on three major directions: tackling key application technologies, innovating intelligent products, and building comprehensive transportation large models, increasing the supply of key technologies. "Emphasizing the increase in the supply of key technologies aims to open up the innovation chain from technology research and development to product application," said Wang Yunpeng (王云鹏), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院院士) and President of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (北京航空航天大学). In particular, it is clearly proposed to build a comprehensive transportation large model, and to provide unified model capability support for the intelligent transformation of the industry by constructing a "transportation brain" that includes various high-quality data sets, algorithm libraries, and tool chains, thereby promoting technology sharing and collaborative innovation.
In recent years, the construction of large models in the field of transportation has accelerated. At the national level, in August of this year, the Transportation Large Model Innovation and Industry Alliance (交通大模型创新与产业联盟), guided by the Ministry of Transport (交通运输部), was established, and has now gathered more than 50 leading industry enterprises, artificial intelligence companies, and related universities and research institutes, sorting out 860 typical artificial intelligence application scenarios. At the enterprise level, China Logistics Group (中国物流集团) released the "Liuyun" large model, which can be applied to more than 40 subdivided scenarios such as multimodal transport and warehouse scheduling; the "Smart Hub" built based on the Baidu (百度) Transportation Large Model has been implemented in more than 10 cities, connecting more than one million cars equipped with L2-level assisted driving functions.
"National demonstration areas are carrying out applications such as road network operation monitoring and early warning based on large models, active control of trunk lines with large traffic volumes, and one-network travel services," said the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport (交通运输部). By intelligently expanding the capacity of trunk channels and constructing multi-level refined traffic control models, the efficiency of demonstration channel traffic is boosted by about 20%, and the emergency response efficiency of sudden events is boosted by about 30%.
Artificial intelligence uses big data analysis, high-precision modeling, etc., to create a solid digital foundation for transportation infrastructure. Data shows that in 20 demonstration areas for digital transformation and upgrading of highway and waterway transportation infrastructure, the total mileage of demonstration channels exceeds 60,000 kilometers, including about 54,000 kilometers of highways and 7,500 kilometers of waterways, basically covering the main skeleton of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network.
In the view of Li Hui (李惠), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院院士) and Professor of Harbin Institute of Technology (哈尔滨工业大学), the construction of the "Artificial Intelligence + Transportation" digital base will effectively support the energy-level leap in the digital level of transportation infrastructure, providing a scientific basis for transportation planning, construction, and management.
Deploying Application Scenarios in Fields Such as Combined Assisted Driving
The deep integration of artificial intelligence and transportation lies in rich application scenarios. The opinions systematically deploy intelligent application scenarios in seven key areas, such as combined assisted driving, intelligent railways, and smart shipping, accelerating the empowerment of innovative scenarios. "These scenarios almost cover all subdivided fields of transportation and will provide richer test sites and application space for new technologies and new products," said Wang Yunpeng (王云鹏).
First, let's look at water transport. 52 automated terminals have been built, the independently developed fully automated container terminal intelligent operating system has been applied in more than 10 terminals at home and abroad, and electronic waterway charts have been successfully applied to the main lines and tributaries of the Yangtze River (长江)... The accelerated intelligent transformation of ports, waterways, and ships has powerfully released the efficiency of water transport.
China's inland waterway transportation faces problems such as the overall low level of waterway grades and the "small, scattered, and miscellaneous" shipping market. "To further release transportation efficiency, it is necessary to upgrade and transform waterways, and promote the organic connection of shipping system elements such as waterways, ports, and navigation aid facilities, which requires increasing the application of artificial intelligence," suggested Yan Xinping (严新平), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院院士) and Professor of Wuhan University of Technology (武汉理工大学). China is promoting the construction of major water transport projects such as the Pinglu Canal (平陆运河) and the new Three Gorges water transport channel (三峡水运新通道), and should take this as an opportunity to accelerate the transformation of the shipping system from single-point breakthroughs to the "ship-cargo-port, human-machine-environment" system.
Then, let's look at highways. The Beijing-Xiong'an Expressway (京雄高速) is equipped with Baidu Smart Cloud (百度智能云), which realizes "second-level push" of important abnormal events through the collaboration of visual and language large models; Didi Autonomous Driving (滴滴自动驾驶) and GAC Aion (广汽埃安) jointly created a new generation of pre-installed autonomous driving cars... Autonomous driving joins hands with vehicle-road coordination to allow more "smart" cars to drive on "smart" roads.
"The opinions adhere to demand orientation and scenario traction, which is to drive the entire industry to improve quality and efficiency through benchmark demonstrations," Wang Yunpeng (王云鹏) proposed. Taking combined assisted driving as an example, supporting concentrated innovation in key areas on the existing basis, and exploring provincial and ministerial linkage and vehicle-road-cloud integrated collaboration will promote the accelerated large-scale commercial use of assisted driving.
Strengthening Guarantees in Computing Power, Data, and Networks
The deep integration of artificial intelligence and transportation is inseparable from the support of new infrastructure. The opinions make specific deployments from three aspects: computing power, data, and networks, strengthening element guarantees.
In terms of computing power, the opinions propose strengthening the overall planning of industry computing power resources and strengthening computing power guarantees in accordance with local conditions based on major transportation infrastructure. The relevant person in charge of Baidu (百度) introduced that Baidu Smart Cloud (百度智能云) can provide high-performance computing power cluster support for smart highway large models according to different scenario needs, ensuring that event detection, emergency scheduling, etc. obtain continuous and stable computing power. "In the future, we will deepen the application of large models in more highway scenarios to serve the construction of smart highways."
In terms of data, the next step will be to accelerate the construction of a comprehensive transportation big data center, promote data sharing and the construction of high-quality data sets, and better release the value of data elements. "Data is the 'fuel' for the training and application of artificial intelligence large models," said the relevant person in charge of China Logistics Group (中国物流集团). China Logistics (中国物流) has built a full-link data collection system of "people-vehicle-goods-site-road," forming high-quality data sets for multiple typical scenarios such as transportation trajectory and multimodal transport. "In the future, we will accelerate the construction of a digital product matrix to help the industry develop from 'experience decision-making' to 'data intelligent decision-making.'"
In terms of networks, we will promote the integrated application of various network technologies, build an intelligent perception system and high-speed data transmission channels, and provide low-latency, high-reliability, and wide-coverage connection capabilities for vehicle-road coordination, remote control, and real-time monitoring.
Return to TopThis newspaper's Beijing (北京) November 12th dispatch (Reporter Wu Qiuyu (吴秋余)) The People's Bank of China (中国人民银行) released the third quarter 2025 China Monetary Policy Execution Report, which shows that since the beginning of this year, a moderately loose monetary policy has continued to exert its strength. While the total amount of finance has grown rapidly, the credit structure has also been continuously optimized, strongly supporting the transformation and upgrading of key areas, major strategies, and the economic structure. At the end of September, China's science and technology loans, green loans, inclusive loans, elderly care industry loans, and digital economy industry loans increased by 11.8%, 22.9%, 11.2%, 58.2%, and 12.9% year-on-year, respectively, all higher than the growth rate of all loans. Overall, the effects of a moderately loose monetary policy are constantly accumulating, and the support effect on the real economy will gradually become apparent.
Since the beginning of this year, the People's Bank of China (中国人民银行) has comprehensively used a variety of monetary policy tools, including quantity, price, and structure, to create a suitable monetary and financial environment for economic recovery and the stable operation of financial markets. Data shows that as of the end of September, the balance of structural monetary policy tools supporting the "five major articles" of finance reached 3.9 trillion yuan.
The report proposes that in the next stage, a moderately loose monetary policy should be implemented effectively. A variety of tools should be used comprehensively to maintain relatively loose social financing conditions. At the same time, the monetary policy framework should continue to be improved, the execution and transmission of monetary policy should be strengthened, and liquidity should be kept ample, so that the growth of social financing scale and money supply matches the expected goals of economic growth and the overall price level.
Return to TopThe Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee outlined a blueprint for China's development in the next five years, proposing the main goals for China's economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, including significant achievements in high-quality development and a substantial increase in the level of self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology. International figures interviewed by this newspaper believe that against the backdrop of intertwined risks and challenges, China's development achievements have not been easy to come by. China's economy has demonstrated tremendous resilience, vitality, and potential, injecting certainty and stability into the world economy. They believe that China will lead global cooperation with a more open and inclusive attitude and create a future of common prosperity.
"China is fully capable of achieving its full-year economic growth target for 2025"
In the first three quarters of this year, China's gross domestic product increased by 5.2% year-on-year, and the economic operation maintained an overall stable and progressive development trend, reflecting the super resilience of a super-large economy. The 5.2% economic growth rate ranks among the top among major economies, indicating that China has always been the most stable and reliable source of power for global economic growth. The "stability" pattern, the "progress" momentum, and the "resilience" characteristics of the Chinese economy have not changed.
Luis Fernandez, a senior researcher at the Center for International Economic Research at the University of Havana (哈瓦那大学) in Cuba (古巴), said that this achievement is particularly valuable in the context of current geopolitical tensions and global economic turbulence. The stable growth of China's economy is of great significance to the world economy and will greatly benefit countries that cooperate with China.
Patricio Giusto, director of the Argentina-China Research Center (阿根廷阿中研究中心), said that in the first three quarters, the added value of industrial enterprises above the designated size nationwide in China increased by 6.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate of industrial production showed a steady and positive trend. The equipment manufacturing industry and high-tech manufacturing industry performed particularly well, and the development of artificial intelligence ushered in a historic opportunity. China's export volume in September increased by 8.3% year-on-year, indicating that China has achieved results in expanding diversified markets. "These data make people believe that China is fully capable of achieving its full-year economic growth target for 2025," he said.
Jürgen Kruthoff, co-founder of the European Silk Road Think Tank (欧洲丝路智联促进会), believes that the uncertainty of the international environment has not weakened the resilience of the Chinese economy. The Chinese government has demonstrated firm determination and policy stability in responding to external pressures and promoting high-quality development, and China's pace of promoting opening up and innovation will continue to move forward.
Fajar Hirawan, a senior researcher at the Indonesian Institute for Business and Economics Research (印度尼西亚商业与经济研究所), believes that the resilience of the Chinese economy is reflected in stable growth and a healthier economic structure. Consumption is playing an increasingly prominent role as the main engine of economic growth, manufacturing investment is growing rapidly, and market diversification is continuing to advance. China's economic growth does not stem from short-term measures, but is achieved through structural reforms.
"Institutional advantages ensure the scientific formulation and effective implementation of national development strategies"
International figures believe that China's stable economic operation has been achieved in the context of effectively responding to domestic and foreign difficulties and challenges. It is the result of a series of precise macroeconomic policies and the continuous manifestation of the synergistic effects of various policies, which fully demonstrates China's institutional advantages and economic resilience.
"Institutional advantages ensure the scientific formulation and effective implementation of national development strategies, which is the key to China's stable economic development," Fernandez said. China adheres to the concept of systems, coordinates the overall situation, conducts in-depth analysis and scientific research on the internal and external environment of economic operation, and formulates response strategies in a timely manner. China proactively promotes the upgrading of its economic structure, strengthens scientific and technological innovation and the development of high-tech industries, expands domestic demand, and expands its global trade, financial, and cooperation networks, so that the economy maintains resilience and vitality.
Abdulaziz Al-Shabani, a researcher at the Riyadh Center for Political and Strategic Studies (利雅得政治和战略研究中心) in Saudi Arabia (沙特), believes that a huge domestic market, a complete industrial chain, and constantly upgraded digital infrastructure provide solid support for the Chinese economy to maintain its vitality. In terms of macroeconomic policies, China focuses on promoting structural reforms and supporting the development of emerging industries, such as the green economy, artificial intelligence, and high-end manufacturing.
Hirawan believes that the Chinese government has adopted precise regulatory tools, including encouraging residents to consume through government subsidies, guiding capital investment in innovative industries through fiscal policies, and providing policy guidance for the development of digitalization and artificial intelligence, which can not only reduce cyclical fluctuations but also build the capacity for long-term economic development.
"China's stable economic operation is inseparable from its huge consumer market, complete industrial chain, and the foresight and scientific nature of macroeconomic regulation." Janusz Piechociński, former Deputy Prime Minister of Poland (波兰前副总理雅努什·皮耶霍钦斯基), believes that China has the world's largest middle-income group, and the huge domestic demand market provides a strong internal circulation driving force for the economy.
"Further consolidating the trend of high-quality development and injecting confidence into global economic development"
The data for the first three quarters of this year show that China's economy is moving towards "new" and activating new momentum for high-quality development. Looking forward to the "15th Five-Year Plan," China will further comprehensively deepen reforms, accelerate high-level self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology, and lead the development of new quality productive forces, which will continue to promote the effective improvement of the quality and the reasonable growth of the quantity of the economy.
"China is entering a new stage characterized by efficiency and innovation," Al-Shabani believes. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China has achieved remarkable results in scientific and technological innovation, green development, and industrial upgrading, laying a solid foundation for the next stage of development. The convening of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee shows that China is committed to continuing this policy. "China during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period will further consolidate the trend of high-quality development and inject confidence into global economic development."
Piechociński said that at a time when the international situation is intertwined with changes and chaos, China provides a strong impetus for world economic growth. China has formulated targeted industrial upgrading measures through five-year plans and has achieved remarkable results. China has not only stabilized short-term growth, but also laid a solid foundation for enhancing medium- and long-term competitiveness.
Liang Zhihua, Secretary-General of the Malaysia Belt and Road Committee (马来西亚“一带一路”委员会秘书长梁志华), said that China's emphasis on leading the development of new quality productive forces will bring broad cooperation opportunities to global partners, including Malaysia (马来西亚), including opportunities for technology implementation and market docking. China and other countries can jointly develop and formulate standards in emerging fields such as new energy and the digital economy, jointly explore third-party markets, and cultivate new economic growth points, which will help promote regional industrial upgrading and regional economic integration, and promote the construction of a closer, mutually beneficial and win-win new pattern of cooperation.
Bernard Dewit, Chairman of the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (比利时中国经贸委员会主席德威特), believes that the key direction of leading the development of new quality productive forces is highly consistent with Europe's strategy in sustainable growth, digital transformation, and technological innovation. Belgian companies and research institutions have rich experience in environmental technology, biotechnology, circular economy, precision engineering, and other fields, and the two sides can jointly create a green, sustainable, and globally competitive innovation ecosystem.
Mercedes Pitas, Communications Director of the Ecuador Sustainable World Foundation (厄瓜多尔可持续世界基金会传播总监梅赛德斯·皮塔), said that China's stable economic operation and continuous expansion of opening up are of great significance to global economic growth. The 8th China International Import Expo (进博会) is a reflection of this concept of open cooperation. An open and stable China contributes to enhancing global economic resilience and will further deepen cooperation based on trust and common vision.
Luigi Gambardella, President of ChinaEU (中欧数字协会主席路易吉·甘巴尔代拉), believes that China has become an indispensable engine for promoting global industrial transformation. China's experience in digital economy, green development, and poverty reduction will provide useful lessons for countries seeking stable growth.
"A China with continuous economic growth and continuous expansion of opening up plays a vital role in maintaining global stability and promoting common prosperity," Dewit said. China's unwavering comprehensive deepening of reform and opening up sends positive signals to the international community such as confidence, cooperation, and inclusiveness. At a time when an increasing number of global challenges require countries to work together to address them, China is injecting strong impetus into building a more resilient and mutually beneficial world economy.
Liang Zhihua said that the 8th China International Import Expo (进博会) demonstrates China's firm commitment to promoting high-level opening up and sharing market opportunities. "China is taking practical measures to promote global trade recovery, deepen South-South cooperation, and practice multilateralism, demonstrating its responsibility to share prosperity and achieve win-win results with all countries."

From studying China to engaging in dialogue with China, Spanish-speaking countries are presenting an open and rational attitude, reshaping their relationship with the world while understanding China.
In the past 20 years, Chinese studies in Spanish-speaking countries have entered a stage of increasing maturity and diversified development. Universities and research institutions in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and other countries have successively established Chinese studies centers, offered relevant degree courses, and increased academic publications and international exchanges. From the initial exploration focusing on language and history to the current coverage of politics, economics, law, international relations, communication, and culture, Chinese studies research in Spanish-speaking countries is gradually forming a system and becoming an indispensable part of the global Chinese studies landscape.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between Spain and China, and academic and scientific research cooperation between the two countries is constantly strengthening. Chinese studies in Spain are gradually showing multidisciplinary characteristics. This not only enriches the connotation of academic dialogue between the two sides, but also opens up new space for building an academic network connecting Europe and China, and Latin America. More and more Spanish universities are establishing cooperative projects in China, and the interaction between Chinese universities and the academic circles of Spanish-speaking countries is becoming increasingly close. This "two-way rush" is forming a virtuous circle, and there is reason to expect fruitful academic cooperation between the two countries.
As exchanges between Spanish-speaking countries and China become increasingly close, Chinese studies are ushering in new opportunities. China is Latin America's second largest trading partner and an important partner of Spain. Economic and trade exchanges have driven exchanges and cooperation in the fields of culture and education. More and more young people from Spanish-speaking countries are going to China to study through scholarship programs, and Confucius Institutes and university cooperative courses are constantly expanding, cultivating a group of young scholars and professionals with bilingual Spanish-Chinese and cross-cultural communication skills. Joint research, international forums, and cooperative publications between academic circles are increasing, laying the foundation for building a sustained and in-depth academic network.
Currently, the Chinese issues that the academic circles of Spanish-speaking countries are concerned about are becoming increasingly diverse. Chinese-style modernization, international relations and global governance, digital economy and technological innovation, green transformation, rule of law and social governance, and common prosperity are all research priorities. At the same time, research at the cultural and ideological level is also deepening, from traditional Confucian ethics to contemporary social values, from language communication to cultural and creative industries. Chinese studies in Spanish-speaking countries are developing in a cross-disciplinary and cross-regional direction.
It is worth noting that Spanish-speaking countries are striving to get rid of their previous dependence on Anglo-American academic paradigms and are trying to construct a "Chinese narrative" with their own characteristics. This is not only reflected in the autonomous expression of language, but also in independent methodologies and values, paying more attention to perspectives such as historical connections, social justice, and civilizational dialogue. The academic circles of Spanish-speaking countries generally believe that China's development path and governance concepts should be understood in combination with their own cultural traditions and humanistic spirit. This not only helps to enrich the global understanding of China, but also allows Spanish-speaking countries to have a more balanced position in the international academic discourse system.
Looking to the future, the development potential of Chinese studies in Spanish-speaking countries is huge. Digital transformation, energy and sustainable development, artificial intelligence and ethics, global governance and multilateralism are all expected to become new research priorities. At the same time, the academic circles of Spanish-speaking countries should also pay more attention to the historical and civilizational connections between China and Latin America and Europe, and explore how diverse civilizations can coexist and learn from each other from the perspective of the Global South. In my daily teaching and research, I deeply feel that the interest of the younger generation of Spanish-speaking scholars in China is growing rapidly. They no longer regard China as a distant country, but as a partner in facing global challenges together. They are eager to understand Chinese society, understand its political logic and cultural values, and seek possibilities for dialogue and cooperation. This generational shift has injected new vitality into Chinese studies in Spanish-speaking countries.
The Global Civilization Initiative proposed by China provides a new platform for equal dialogue between civilizations. The core concept of this major initiative is to promote exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations through dialogue and jointly address global challenges, which is highly consistent with the cultural traditions of Spanish-speaking countries. The historical experience of multicultural coexistence in Spanish-speaking countries enables us to understand the necessity of mutual learning between civilizations. In the future, within the framework of the Global Civilization Initiative, academic and cultural cooperation between Spanish-speaking countries and China is expected to be further deepened.
From studying China to engaging in dialogue with China, Spanish-speaking countries are presenting an open and rational attitude, reshaping their relationship with the world while understanding China.

"China plays an important role in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and promotes the continuous development of APEC cooperation to a higher level." Park Joon-young (朴晙莹), former Governor of South Jeolla Province (全罗南道) in South Korea, said in a recent interview with this reporter, hoping that South Korea and China will enhance exchanges and cooperation in various fields.
Park Joon-young (朴晙莹) recounted his several interactions with President Xi Jinping (习近平). "In July 2005, Xi Jinping (习近平), then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee (浙江省委书记), visited South Jeolla Province (全罗南道). That was my second year as Governor of South Jeolla Province (全罗南道). We talked a lot when we met, including South Korea-China relations, the history and culture of the two countries, and expectations for strengthening cooperation between South Jeolla Province (全罗南道) and China. At that time, South Jeolla Province (全罗南道) was actively developing green agriculture, and we talked about cooperation in this area. Soon after, I visited Zhejiang Province (浙江省)." Even though 20 years have passed, Park Joon-young (朴晙莹) still has vivid memories of the meeting.
In July 2014, President Xi Jinping (习近平) delivered an important speech at Seoul National University (韩国国立首尔大学) in South Korea during his state visit to South Korea. Park Joon-young (朴晙莹) attended the speech as a special guest. "President Xi Jinping (习近平) always has the people in his heart." Park Joon-young (朴晙莹) said, "President Xi Jinping (习近平) worked and lived in rural areas when he was young. He understands the living conditions of ordinary people very well, always cares about the people, and worries about whether the people can have enough food and clothing." Park Joon-young (朴晙莹) said that the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and the Chinese government have historically eliminated absolute poverty, greatly improved people's livelihoods, and are committed to promoting common prosperity, which not only has a positive impact on China, but also has far-reaching significance in the development of the entire human society.
"This spring, I visited Beijing (北京) again after many years and found that the air quality in Beijing (北京) has improved significantly. This reflects the governance capabilities of the Chinese government. The government has made a lot of efforts for the health of the people and has achieved obvious results. At Peking University (北京大学), I also saw college students training robots to run, which was very novel." Park Joon-young (朴晙莹) expressed his respect for this and said that China's technological development is fast and widely used. "China pays great attention to exchanges, cooperation, and win-win situations in economy, trade, culture, and other aspects, which is an important foundation for achieving mutual respect and common development."

At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping (习近平), King Vajiralongkorn (哇集拉隆功) of Thailand is paying a state visit to China, marking the first visit by a Thai King to China in the 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand. King Vajiralongkorn (哇集拉隆功) has chosen China as the first major country for his official visit, and President Xi Jinping (习近平) and Premier Li Qiang (李强) will meet with him separately, fully demonstrating the high importance both sides attach to the development of China-Thailand relations.
China and Thailand are good neighbors, good friends, good relatives, and good partners. The two countries adhere to mutual respect, equal treatment, and sincere mutual trust. Over the 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the relations between the two countries have maintained healthy and stable development. The concept of "China and Thailand are one family" (中泰一家亲 (zhōng tài yī jiā qīn - "China Thailand one family," describes the close and friendly relationship between the two countries)) is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a model of harmonious coexistence and common development between countries.
High-level exchanges lead strategic mutual trust between China and Thailand. In November 2022, President Xi Jinping (习近平) paid a historic state visit to Thailand, and China-Thailand relations entered a new stage of building a community with a shared future, making the foundation of friendship between the two countries stronger and the momentum of cooperation stronger. King Vajiralongkorn (哇集拉隆功) has long supported China-Thailand friendship and has played a special and important role in inheriting the friendship between the two countries and promoting the development of relations between the two countries. Many members of the Thai royal family have personally promoted friendly exchanges between the two sides. In October of this year, President Xi Jinping (习近平) met with Thai Prime Minister Anutin (阿努廷), and the two sides agreed to strengthen the alignment of development strategies and jointly promote the construction of the China-Thailand community with a shared future to go deeper and more solid.
Mutually beneficial cooperation promotes the common development of China and Thailand. China has remained Thailand's largest trading partner for 12 consecutive years and is Thailand's largest export market for agricultural products and fruits. In the first three quarters of 2025, bilateral trade between China and Thailand reached US$114.3 billion, an increase of 17% year-on-year. Thailand participated in the 8th China International Import Expo (进博会) as the guest of honor. Over the years, Thailand's intended transaction volume at the CIIE has been among the highest among ASEAN countries. The China-Thailand Railway is a flagship project of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" between the two countries. The first phase of the project, the Bangkok (曼谷) to Nakhon Ratchasima (呵叻) section, is accelerating and steadily driving local development. Chinese companies' investment in Thailand continues to grow, adhering to the concept of "investing in Thailand for Thailand" and cooperating with Thailand for win-win results.
People-to-people exchanges consolidate the foundation of mutual understanding between the people of China and Thailand. Thailand is one of the most lively places for celebrating the Spring Festival overseas. The "Happy Chinese New Year" event in Bangkok's Chinatown (曼谷唐人街) has been held for many years. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand, the China-Thailand Ice Hockey Friendship Match was held in Thailand, the Buddha Tooth Relic of Lingguang Temple (灵光寺) in Beijing (北京) was enshrined in Thailand, the Chinese polar scientific research icebreaker "Xuelong 2" (雪龙2) visited Thailand for the first time, the Chinese Navy's 83rd ship formation visited Thailand, and the Chinese Acrobatic Troupe's performance and the overseas premiere of the Chinese ballet "Dream of the Red Chamber" were held in Thailand. A series of wonderful activities continue to enhance the friendly feelings between the people of the two countries.
China and Thailand have broad common interests and similar positions and propositions in international affairs, and jointly defend international fairness and justice. Thailand actively supports the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative proposed by China. With strong support from China, Thailand has become one of the first BRICS partner countries. As a co-proponent of the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Mechanism, China supports Thailand in hosting the 5th Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Leaders' Meeting and jointly building a Lancang-Mekong community with a shared future oriented towards peace and prosperity. China is willing to work with Thailand to promote the early entry into force and implementation of the upgraded protocol of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0, and add new impetus to regional economic integration.
China-Thailand relations are a microcosm of China's neighborhood diplomacy, and diplomacy towards Thailand is a concrete practice of Xi Jinping's (习近平) diplomatic thought and the concept of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness in neighborhood diplomacy. At present, the China-Thailand comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership maintains a high level of operation, and the relations between the two countries are at the best period in history. All sectors of Thai society continue to discuss the "15th Five-Year Plan" development blueprint drawn by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, are optimistic about China's development opportunities, and are willing to work with China to open up broader prospects for cooperation.
Looking forward to the future, China is willing to work with Thailand to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, continue the traditional friendship, consolidate political mutual trust, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, and promote the construction of the China-Thailand community with a shared future to achieve new fruitful results.

On the afternoon of the 12th, Wang Xiaoping (王晓萍) visited the customs declaration hall of the Xinhai Port (新海港) and Nan Port (南港) centralized inspection sites of Haikou Customs (海口海关), and interacted with grassroots people and employee representatives to carry out face-to-face publicity.

Recently, I have seen two cases of grassroots governance, and the problem-solving ideas are quite inspiring.
One is a widely praised disposal. A father and son were illegally setting up a stall on the street, and their emotions were out of control when faced with law enforcement. The urban management officers did not directly punish them, but suggested using volunteer hours to offset the fine, and encouraged them to apply for a position in the city appearance and environmental improvement team. Later, the father and son successfully took up their posts and sent a handwritten letter of thanks to the urban management officers.
The other is a long-praised reply. Some citizens complained that a nearby temple was burning paper money, polluting the air. The environmental protection department did not simply prohibit it, but cited content from the *Diamond Sutra* and the *Avatamsaka Sutra* to do ideological work on the believers, convincing them to voluntarily promise not to burn paper money anymore.
The governance wisdom contained in these two cases lies in breaking away from the habitual perception of "looking at the problem as a problem," realizing an upgrade in thinking from "treating the symptoms" to "treating the root cause," and embodying the concept of source governance.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal puts forward the idea of "improving the social governance system of joint construction, joint governance, and shared benefits" and "improving the working mechanism for uniting and serving the masses, and consolidating the mass foundation of social governance." This requires us to have a mass perspective when looking at problems, and to have systematic and innovative thinking when solving problems.
For example, operating a stall on the street may seem like a "face problem" that affects the appearance of the city, but behind it lies the "substance" of development related to people's livelihood and employment, the business environment, and transportation planning. It is certainly simple to simply ban or fine, but it does not address the deep-seated problems and will lead to repeated and accumulated contradictions. In this regard, Shenzhen (深圳), Guangdong (广东) promotes "service in lieu of punishment," allowing disadvantaged groups to offset small fines with volunteer work, and linking up with streets to develop public welfare positions to provide a source of livelihood. Xuchang (许昌), Henan (河南) set up more than 100 centralized stall locations during the peak watermelon sales season and released a "watermelon map" to achieve clean roads and facilitate business for the people. When the perspective is changed, tracing the origins of the problem along the lines of its formation, and implementing comprehensive policies with systematic thinking, the world of governance will suddenly become clear.
Grassroots problems are complex and diverse, and are often not isolated "points," but rather a "network" connected to interests, customs, and resources. Treating the head when it hurts and the foot when it hurts can easily lead to 挖洞补窟窿 (wā dòng bǔ kū long - "digging a hole to patch a hole," addressing problems superficially) and 按下葫芦浮起瓢 (àn xià hú lu fú qǐ piáo - "press down the gourd and the dipper floats," addressing one problem only to have another arise). How to break the situation? The key is to tap into the incremental value in existing resources and provide a better solution that is a win-win for all parties under limited conditions.
Back then, some villages "lived off coal" and resisted the closure of small coal mines; some forest farms "lived off trees" and complained when logging was not allowed. However, under the guidance of the concept that "green mountains and clear waters are golden mountains and silver mountains," the "coal-eating" villages have taken up the "ecological tourism bowl," and the villagers consciously maintain the rural environment; the forest farms have developed under-forest economies, and the tree cutters have become forest cultivators... This shows that finding a way out at the intersection of interests, and creating new growth points in breaking and establishing, and establishing before breaking, can solve old contradictions with a new situation of development.
Grassroots governance should not only treat existing diseases and remove lesions, but also focus on the front end and prevent diseases before they occur. In the face of contradictions, preventing them in advance, discovering them early, and dealing with them in a small way are the most economical and effective problem-solving strategies.
For example, Zhejiang (浙江) adheres to and develops the new era "Fengqiao Experience" (枫桥经验), establishing nearly 30,000 people's mediation organizations, mediating more than 650,000 disputes annually, and resolving a large number of problems in their infancy. Qingdao (青岛), Shandong (山东) shifts the focus of work forward, relying on big data technology to analyze and judge the public demands in the municipal hotline, and realize "unsolicited handling" of seasonal and cyclical livelihood pain points. Bozhou (亳州), Anhui (安徽) "visits enterprises and enters villages," sorts out and summarizes common problems, and introduces targeted reform measures, extending from solving "one thing" to handling "a class of things"... Enhancing the initiative, foresight, and creativity of work is conducive to grasping the initiative of governance and stopping problems before they occur.
If the grassroots are strong, the country is strong; if the grassroots are stable, the world is stable. Always keeping the people's expectations in mind, constantly enhancing the power of insight, optimizing problem-solving thinking, and enhancing the ability to break the situation, the people's yearning for a better life will surely be transformed into a visible and tangible picture of happiness in one difficult task after another, and one journey of problem-solving after another.

Establish a sound population service system covering the entire population and the entire life cycle.
——Excerpt from the "15th Five-Year Plan" Recommendations
In the obstetrics ward of the People's Hospital of Langfang (廊坊市) City, Hebei (河北) Province, the new mother Wang Shengmei (王胜美) was resting in bed, while her newborn baby slept soundly in the crib beside her.
With the help of a nurse, Wang Zhaoyun (王昭云), Wang Shengmei's (王胜美) husband, completed the application for a birth certificate online in just a few minutes. "The birth certificate was processed in less than a day, and the other matters I applied for should also be completed in the next few days," said Wang Zhaoyun (王昭云).
This smooth scenario exceeded the couple's expectations. This was their third child, and based on their experience with the previous two, they thought everything had to be prepared in advance. "We decided on the child's name before being admitted to the hospital, just so as not to delay the birth certificate application," said Wang Zhaoyun (王昭云).
The multiple procedures required, including the birth medical certificate, household registration, medical insurance enrollment, and social security card application, involve several departments such as health, public security, human resources and social security, and medical insurance. Wang Zhaoyun (王昭云) remembers that after the previous births, he had to travel back and forth between the hospital, the police station, and the government affairs hall many times. "I had to work during the day and take care of the family after work, so I could only take time out to do these things, which was quite a hassle. It took several months to get everything done."
This time, the couple prepared all kinds of materials in advance, waiting in full battle array. Unexpectedly, the situation had changed.
Focusing on the pain points and bottlenecks in handling newborn birth matters, in September last year, Hebei (河北) Province integrated nine matters, including applying for the "Birth Medical Certificate" (first issue), scientific parenting guidance service registration, household registration in the province, vaccination certificate application, reimbursement of maternity medical expenses, declaration of maternity allowance, application for social security card, newborn resident medical insurance registration, and newborn resident medical insurance payment, and innovatively launched a new model of joint handling service for newborn birth "one matter".
Under the new model, as long as the parents meet the conditions such as being born in a medical and health institution in the province and both parents having household registration in the province, they can choose an entry point in the Hebei (河北) Government Service Network, the Ji Shi Ban (冀时办) APP "Efficiently Handle One Matter Zone," and the "Hebei (河北) Birth One Matter" WeChat mini-program, upload both parents' ID cards, household registration pages, and marriage certificates after face recognition authentication, and finally submit the application.
One set of materials, one form, one-click application, and one-stop online processing. As of now, the Hebei (河北) Province's newborn birth "one matter" joint handling service has provided convenient services to a total of 227,800 households, reducing the processing time from an average of 25 working days to 5 working days, and reducing material submission by more than 90%. "The child was born, and we caught up with the convenient new policy, it's really 喜上加喜 (xǐ shàng jiā xǐ - "double the joy," a double blessing; one joy on top of another)," said Wang Zhaoyun (王昭云).
Since last year, Hebei (河北) has promoted 31 reforms of "efficiently handling one matter" such as newborn birth, education enrollment, and individual entrepreneurship. "Moving towards the '15th Five-Year Plan,' we will continue to deepen reforms, break down information barriers between departments with data empowerment, and continue to expand the scope of reform, so that government services are more effective and warmer," said the relevant person in charge of the Hebei (河北) Provincial Data and Government Service Bureau.

Let the "first thing" in a newborn's life no longer be a worry. The new government service model launched in Hebei (河北) offers the most considerate blessings to newborn families.
One-click application, online processing, one-step completion... What used to take months of back-and-forth hassle can now be completed in just a few days. Data builds a bridge of collaboration, breaking down information barriers between departments, integrating resources from multiple departments, and streamlining the fast lane of government services, achieving a two-way commitment to efficient service and people's livelihood.
From the birth of a newborn to more key life events such as education enrollment and personal entrepreneurship, we look forward to the "efficient handling of one matter" reform covering all aspects of life and running through the entire life cycle, so that the efficiency and warmth of government services permeate all aspects of life and accompany everyone along the way.

South of the Yangtze River, the sweet scent of osmanthus fills the paths. On November 9th, in Tongxiang (桐乡市), Jiaxing (嘉兴), Zhejiang (浙江), the 2025 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit (世界互联网大会乌镇峰会) concluded. Wuzhen (乌镇), this ancient town with a thousand-year history, has grown into an important platform for the collision of ideas and the display of technology in the global Internet field since becoming the permanent venue for the conference in 2014.
For more than a decade, Zhejiang (浙江) has firmly grasped the opportunities presented by the Wuzhen Summit (乌镇峰会), effectively transforming the advantages of hosting the conference into a winning trend for promoting economic quality and efficiency, cultural prosperity and development, and social livelihood improvement, writing a vivid footnote for high-quality development in the digital age.
Activating New Momentum for the Digital Economy
In Tongxiang (桐乡), many enterprises are steadily moving forward on the coattails of the Wuzhen Summit (乌镇峰会): Xin Fengming Group (新凤鸣集团) and Donghua University (东华大学) jointly built a joint laboratory for ecological and environmental protection new materials; the Zhouquan Pilot Base (洲泉中试基地) of the National Technology Transfer Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (上海交通大学) was successfully established... Through deepening industry-university-research cooperation, Tongxiang (桐乡) promotes the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial upgrading, helping to continuously optimize the regional digital economy ecosystem.
Supported by the "Light of Wuzhen" Supercomputing Center ("乌镇之光"超算中心), Tongxiang (桐乡) has built a diverse, collaborative, and digitally intelligent computing power system. At the same time, as one of the first national intelligent connected vehicle testing demonstration zones, Tongxiang (桐乡) is at the forefront in terms of policy coordination and industrial layout, and has now gathered more than 60 intelligent connected vehicle enterprises above a designated size, covering key links such as materials and parts.
Since 2019, the "Direct to Wuzhen" Global Internet Competition ("直通乌镇"全球互联网大赛) has attracted more than 5,000 projects from more than 40 countries and regions, and has cultivated 4 listed companies and 16 unicorn companies.
Seizing the digital wave, Zhejiang (浙江) enterprises are actively opening up new tracks. In Longquan Baojian Town (龙泉宝剑小镇), Lishui (丽水), sword factories use artificial intelligence technology to optimize production techniques, greatly shortening the production cycle of swords, while also leveraging e-commerce to expand the market. In Binjiang District (滨江区), Hangzhou (杭州), Anmaisheng Company (安脉盛公司)'s intelligent control system installs an "industrial brain" for lithium battery companies, significantly improving production accuracy and product quality.
Data shows that the added value of Zhejiang's (浙江) digital economy has increased from 1.48 trillion yuan in 2015 to 4.7 trillion yuan in 2024, with an average annual growth of 13%, and the proportion of GDP has increased to 53%.
Building a New Bridge for Cultural Communication
In Jiaxing Economic and Technological Development Zone (嘉兴经济技术开发区), the overseas short drama production center of Jiaxing Jiuzhou Culture Media Co., Ltd. (嘉兴九州文化传媒有限公司) is a busy scene. Relying on artificial intelligence technology, through the "translation + original" dual-line approach, the company has promoted more than 4,000 works to the world.
The Internet has become a link for cultural exchange. Relying on important platforms such as the Wuzhen Summit (乌镇峰会), Zhejiang (浙江) actively promotes the "breaking the circle" of online culture to go overseas. "Black Myth: Wukong" («黑神话：悟空»), developed by a Hangzhou (杭州) enterprise, cleverly integrates Chinese culture and digital technology, with global sales exceeding 28 million copies, setting off a "Oriental aesthetics" craze.
Online literature, online dramas, and online games, as the "new three items" of culture, are accelerating their journey to the world. A company in Nanxun District (南浔区), Huzhou (湖州), is deeply involved in the field of game culture export, with game distribution covering more than 150 countries and regions; more than 30 online dramas filmed by the Meigao Short Drama Super Factory (美高短剧超级工厂) in Qujiang District (衢江区), Quzhou (衢州), have been translated into multiple languages; Hengdian (横店) in Dongyang City (东阳市), Jinhua (金华), is building a complete industrial chain for online dramas, helping to tell Chinese stories to the world.
Artificial intelligence is also empowering the protection and revitalization of cultural relics. At this year's Wuzhen Summit (乌镇峰会), digital products such as "Guangying Danqing" ("光影丹青") and "Wenlan Chongguang" ("文澜重光") were unveiled, allowing thousands of years of treasures to shine in the new era. According to reports, Zhejiang (浙江) will next give full play to the important role of the Wuzhen Summit (乌镇峰会) in cultural exchange and mutual learning, and accelerate the deep integration and mutual empowerment of culture and artificial intelligence.
Depicting a New Picture of Smart Life
Digital dividends are quietly changing the daily lives of Zhejiang (浙江) people.
In Tongxiang (桐乡), the "holographic digital road" (全息数字道路) adjusts traffic lights in real time, reducing vehicle travel time by an average of 15%; the Wuzhen Smart Elderly Care Center (乌镇智能养老中心) is equipped with smart beds, health monitors and other equipment to make the lives of the elderly more comfortable; residents of Haiyan County (海盐县) open the "Digital Intelligence Traditional Chinese Medicine" ("数智国医") platform, and the status of prescriptions can be checked throughout the entire process, as convenient as tracking express delivery.
"Scan the safety helmet, and it's no longer difficult to protect your rights." Construction workers in Longquan (龙泉) can use the "rights protection code" (维权码) to contact the project manager and the local human resources and social security department with one click, building an efficient and transparent dispute resolution mechanism.
Zhuji (诸暨), Shaoxing (绍兴), is exploring a health service chain of "artificial intelligence initial judgment - specialist doctor decision - family doctor execution", covering 65 disease areas and 143 special disease paths, and has served nearly 10,000 patients.
People living across provinces also benefit. Five-year-old Wei Xiaolu (韦小路) moved to Shangyu District (上虞区), Shaoxing (绍兴), with his family this year, and his father applied for an electronic residence permit through "Zheliban" ("浙里办"). The child was successfully enrolled in a local kindergarten. This is precisely the people-benefiting result of Zhejiang's (浙江) promotion of the "mutual recognition and conversion, one-card connection" reform of residence permits.
The integration of digital technology into daily life makes convenience, efficiency, and green the background color of life. People feel the sense of gain, happiness, and security brought by technology in every bit of change. This is a vivid interpretation of Zhejiang (浙江) taking the Wuzhen Summit (乌镇峰会) as an opportunity to transform the advantages of hosting the conference into a winning trend for development.
Return to TopBy: 讲述人：广东省广州市增城区正果镇蒙花布村党支部书记 高心亮
My home is in Menghua Bu Village (蒙花布村), Zhengguo Town (正果镇), Zengcheng District (增城区), Guangzhou (广州), Guangdong (广东) Province. The Zengjiang River (增江河) meanders through the village like a silk ribbon, nourishing the land. This river has accompanied me in my growth, and I am fortunate to be a witness and guardian of its transformation.
In my childhood, the Zengjiang River (增江河) was so clear that you could see the pebbles at the bottom. In the summer, children ran barefoot in the shallows, chasing small fish, picking up shells, and lying on the beach to cool off when they were tired. Later, I left my hometown for education and work. But no matter how far I went, I would always go to the riverbank whenever I returned home.
When I returned home for the Spring Festival in 2007, I came to the riverbank, and the scene before me made my heart tighten: the once clear river water had become turbid, garbage was scattered on the bank, and weeds grew in a disorderly manner. This made my heart ache, and a thought sprouted in my mind - I want to go home and protect this "Mother River" that raised us.
In 2008, when the village was holding elections, I volunteered to participate and was eventually elected as a member of the village committee, and I also joined the newly established village-level river patrol team as soon as possible. In 2014, I was elected as the Party Branch Secretary of Menghua Bu Village (蒙花布村). Although my identity has changed, the responsibility of patrolling and protecting the river has never been put down.
Now, I have persisted in patrolling the river for 17 years. In these years, I have also taken the lead in forming the village's environmental volunteer team, leading the villagers to regularly carry out riverbank and beach cleaning, garbage sorting publicity, ecological protection popularization and other work, so that the concept of river protection enters every household.
In 2017, the government launched the Zengjiang River (增江河) system comprehensive improvement project, and the Menghua Bu Village (蒙花布村) section was included in the key treatment scope. From river dredging to sewage treatment, from ecological restoration to landscape construction, the Menghua Bu Village (蒙花布村) section of the Zengjiang River (增江河) gradually restored its former clarity and beauty: the vegetation on the banks became more lush, the once messy tidal flats became golden beaches, and a waterfront platform was built next to the simple and elegant dam.
With a better ecology, tourists naturally come. Every weekend and holiday, some people ride and stroll on the riverside greenway, some people camp and picnic on the beach, and children chase the water and play, which is lively and comfortable.
A river beautifies a village. Seeing that the good ecology at their doorstep has become a "golden business card," the villagers have jumped on the fast track of rural tourism. Now there are 16 homestays and 10 farmhouses in the village, with a total of 120 rooms, which are hard to find during holidays. Sometimes, on the road into the village, the vehicles are lined up for several kilometers.
In recent years, the village has been continuously improving cultural and tourism supporting facilities and creating attractions such as agricultural experience parks. In the best year, it received more than 230,000 tourists, and the income related to cultural tourism such as homestays and catering reached several million yuan. Many villagers who went out to work saw the changes in their hometown and returned to their hometown to start businesses. Some opened characteristic shops, and some joined the homestay management team, realizing employment and income increase at their doorstep.
Looking at the Zengjiang River (增江河) again, the water is sparkling, the fish are swimming in the shallows, and the children playing by the river look just like I did when I was a child. Protecting this river is protecting our roots and protecting the future of the village. Next, I will continue to work with the villagers to be good guardians of the Zengjiang River (增江河), transform ecological beauty into development beauty, and continue to write the story of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
(Reported and edited by Hong Qiuting (洪秋婷), reporter of this newspaper)
[Reporter's Note]
Walking on the boardwalk by the river, in the breeze, and in the conversation, you can feel Gao Xinliang's (高心亮) feelings for the Zengjiang River (增江河). The beautiful memories of childhood are imprinted in a person's life experience and echoed in the gurgling sound of the hometown river.
Protecting the beautiful river is protecting the development of the hometown. Coordinating and promoting high-quality development and high-level protection, making unremitting efforts, and achieving long-term success, we will surely be able to achieve the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
Return to TopOn November 12, farmers in Xingmu Gacha, E'ergetu Town, Horqin Right Wing Front Banner (科尔沁右翼前旗), Hinggan League (兴安盟), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区), harvested and stored corn. In recent years, the area has continued to promote scientific grain storage models such as three-dimensional grain storage, direct grain harvesting, centralized grain storage, and grain storage on behalf of farmers, based on local conditions and tailored to each household, effectively promoting grain harvest and increased farmer income.

"Our social groups are becoming more refined and differentiated. We need to keep up with the management and services for the courier delivery personnel, ride-hailing drivers, e-commerce practitioners, and others that have emerged in recent years, and fill this gap."
——March 5, 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized while participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu (江苏) delegation
"Each period has its own problems, and each group has its own difficulties. We must pay attention to them and constantly solve them." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) keenly grasped the profound changes in China's social structure and cared about the urgent needs and expectations of new employment groups. The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal puts forward, "Improve the service management of various social groups, and improve the coordination of interests and the protection of legitimate rights and interests system."
"Stay in Suzhou (苏州市), or return to my hometown?"
A few years ago, delivery driver Shu Long (舒龙) often thought about this question.
He came to Suzhou (苏州市) from Shuyang County (沭阳县), Jiangsu (江苏) to work hard alone, and his wife and children were separated for many years. How to completely solve the trouble of "running back and forth"? A multiple-choice question was placed in front of him: go back to his hometown, where there are fewer job opportunities; in Suzhou (苏州市), his wife's job is not settled, and the expenses are higher than in his hometown, can he settle down?
"You work too hard every day in the wind and rain..." On the phone, facing his wife's concern, Shu Long (舒龙) fell into deep thought. This worry hides the common anxiety of millions of new employment form laborers.
With the vigorous development of the platform economy, the ranks of new employment form laborers have grown rapidly. However, issues such as lack of occupational safety, difficulty in defining labor relations, difficulty in children's enrollment, difficulty in family employment, and limited career development have also plagued them.
The difficulties of the masses are the topics of the times.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) earnestly urged: "Our social groups are becoming more refined and differentiated. We need to keep up with the management and services for the courier delivery personnel, ride-hailing drivers, e-commerce practitioners, and others that have emerged in recent years, and fill this gap."
Top-level design, accelerating progress.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) first mentioned the concept of "new employment forms"; the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) emphasized "strengthening the rights and interests protection of flexible employment and new employment form laborers"; the establishment of the Central Social Work Department (中央社会工作部), and the successive establishment of social work departments of local party committees, have come up with practical measures to relieve the difficulties of new employment groups...
Policy breaking the ice, progressing layer by layer.
Weaving a dense "safety net" of systems. Facing this vigorously emerging group of new employment form laborers, there is no precedent to follow. How to solve the problem?
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has a long-term vision: "We must follow the trend and let it develop naturally and stand out" "The corresponding laws, regulations, policies and measures cannot be late."
In recent years, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (人力资源和社会保障部) and other relevant departments have formulated guiding opinions, issued special rights and interests protection policies for key groups, clarified the labor protection responsibilities of enterprises, and improved the basic rights and interests protection system for labor remuneration, rest, and labor safety.
Fasten the occupational "seat belt". For laborers traveling through the streets and alleys, occupational injury protection is the most urgent safety need.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Strengthen the rights and interests protection of flexible employment and new employment form laborers, and expand the pilot program of occupational injury protection."
Since 2022, a pilot program for occupational injury protection has been carried out in 7 provinces. In July of this year, based on summarizing the pilot experience, the pilot program for occupational injury protection was expanded from three dimensions: expanding provinces, adding enterprises, and broadening industries. The pilot scope has been expanded to 17 provinces, and efforts have been made to ensure the bottom line of rights and interests protection for new employment groups.
How to let every new employment form laborer settle down and feel at ease in the city?
"Do a good job in ideological guidance and cohesive service for new employment groups." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out the direction.
Effective labor dispute mediation is an important support for enhancing the "delivery personnel's" sense of belonging to the city. In recent years, more than 3,000 one-stop mediation centers for labor disputes in new employment forms have been established in various places, and more than 30,000 related disputes have been mediated.
…………
One policy after another is closely linked, with a clear and firm goal: to enhance the sense of gain, happiness, and security of new employment groups.
Policy guarantees provide confidence, and Shu Long's (舒龙) family made a decision - "The whole family goes to Suzhou (苏州市)!"
In August 2022, Shu Long (舒龙) learned about the local points-based "five entries" policy: by participating in volunteer services, skills training, and other methods to accumulate points, you can exchange for public services such as "entry into medical care, entry into school, entry into employment, entry into childcare, and entry into the Internet." This policy provides precise support for new employment groups on the basis of universal benefit.
"Participating in anti-fraud publicity can add points, and participating in training can also add points. It's easy and practical!" In less than half a year, the points reached the standard, and his wife successfully became a community grid member.
The changes in Shu Long's (舒龙) family are a microcosm of the benefits of thousands of new employment form laborers in the implementation of policies, outlining a warm group portrait of this group from "anxiety" to "peace of mind".
In Chaoyang District (朝阳区), Beijing (北京), "Jiang Xiaoai (将小爱)" public welfare stations, "Home of Urban Builders (城市建设者之家)", etc. provide housing security for new employment groups;
In Ruijin City (瑞金市), Jiangxi (江西), the new employment group's vocational ability improvement platform creates learning classrooms and "customizes" teaching content. Students who graduate successfully can be exempted from tuition fees;
In Yiwu City (义乌市), Zhejiang (浙江), promote the linkage between community health service centers and express delivery and takeaway stations to bring health services to the "delivery personnel";
…………
Concerns are put into practice, policies take root, and a sense of gain arises spontaneously.
From central deployment to local innovation, from institutional guarantees to warm services, a security network that is becoming increasingly dense is supporting the dreams of millions of new employment groups.

Li Zheng: The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (党的二十届四中全会) outlined the development blueprint for the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Achieving basic socialist modernization by 2035, a significant symbolic indicator is that the per capita GDP reaches the level of moderately developed countries, which requires the economic and social development during the '15th Five-Year Plan' period to maintain an appropriate speed." At the same time, the next 5 years will continue to focus on promoting high-quality development. What is the profound connection between "high-quality development" and "maintaining an appropriate speed"?
Liu Yuanchun: In 2024, China's per capita GDP exceeded $13,000, but there is still a significant gap from the level of moderately developed countries. Maintaining an appropriate speed can create more employment and social wealth, laying a more solid foundation for achieving basic socialist modernization by 2035.
High-quality development and maintaining an appropriate speed are a dynamic and positive strategic coordination relationship. For China's economy to maintain an appropriate speed on such a large scale, it must rely on high-quality development, achieving more sustainable and resilient growth through innovation-driven and total factor productivity improvements. Conversely, maintaining an appropriate speed also provides the necessary room for maneuver to further comprehensively deepen reforms and promote high-quality development.
Li Zheng: During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's high-quality development has taken solid steps. The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for resolving the prominent contradictions and problems facing high-quality development. Specifically, what are the key areas of focus?
Liu Yuanchun: There are several data points that can provide a perspective for observation: In 2024, China's overall labor productivity reached 173,898 yuan/person, energy consumption per unit of GDP decreased by 11.6% compared to the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan," and the contribution rate of enterprises to the growth of research and experimental development expenditure for the whole society reached 77.1%. This shows that the Chinese economy can create more wealth with higher efficiency, less energy consumption, and more innovation, which is a vivid reflection of the effectiveness of high-quality development.
Leveraging advantages, addressing shortcomings, and strengthening weaknesses are important methods for promoting high-quality development. The focus of promoting high-quality development can be grasped from two levels: productive forces and relations of production. From the perspective of productive forces, the key lies in promoting high-level self-reliance and self-strengthening in science and technology, building an independent and controllable, highly competitive modern industrial system, and consolidating and strengthening the foundation of the real economy. From the perspective of relations of production, the key lies in building a high-level socialist market economy system, reducing institutional transaction costs, and achieving mutual promotion of new supply and new demand.
Li Zheng: High-quality development takes innovation as the primary driving force. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, what are the difficulties in achieving substantial and breakthrough progress in promoting scientific and technological innovation, accelerating the cultivation of new driving forces, and promoting the optimization and upgrading of the economic structure?
Liu Yuanchun: Scientific and technological innovation can provide an inexhaustible driving force for the progress of human civilization and is known as the "endless frontier." To lead in scientific and technological innovation, the first thing to solve is the question of "where does innovation come from?" This requires promoting the integrated development of education, science and technology, and talent, promoting the virtuous interaction between independent innovation in science and technology and independent cultivation of talent, and building education centers, science centers, and talent centers that can gather innovation resources worldwide, so that China can become a source of various innovations and ideas. At the same time, it is necessary to solve the question of "where does innovation go," strengthen the main position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, promote the deep integration of the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, and talent chain, and shorten the time difference between innovation results from the bookshelf to the shelf.
Grasping trends is the key to seizing opportunities. Currently, China is in the first echelon in the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. Next, seize the opportunity to seize the commanding heights in fields such as artificial intelligence, bio-manufacturing, and quantum technology, especially using "artificial intelligence +" to empower thousands of industries, which will better transform scientific and technological innovation into real productive forces.
Li Zheng: A strong domestic market is the strategic support for Chinese-style modernization. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, what deeper problems still need to be solved to accelerate the construction of a high-level socialist market economy system?
Liu Yuanchun: China has the advantage of a super-large-scale market, but hidden barriers such as local protectionism still exist, which to some extent have led to market segmentation. Further comprehensively deepening reforms, improving resource allocation efficiency, and forming effective incentive mechanisms are necessary to fully stimulate the vitality of various business entities.
For example, the "hard connectivity" infrastructure network of the national unified large market is becoming increasingly完善 日益完善 (rì yì wán shàn - "increasingly perfect," constantly improving), but there are still bottlenecks and blockages in the "soft connectivity" of operating rules, settlement systems, and information platforms. There are significant differences in government efficiency and the rule of law among different regions, and continued efforts are needed in the "five unifications." Accelerating the improvement of the market-oriented allocation system and mechanism of factors of production and removing the institutional obstacles that hinder the free flow of labor, capital, land, knowledge, technology, management, and data are necessary to further tap potential and release vitality.
The Chinese economy has entered a stage of innovation-driven high-quality development. Scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation ultimately come down to "people." Improving the quality and efficiency of human capital is the largest and most sustainable contributor to improving total factor productivity. Emphasizing investment in people means strengthening human resource development and investment in the all-round development of people, which is conducive to building a talent foundation for new quality productive forces.
Li Zheng: High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in all respects and is also the theme of economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. Embarking on a new journey, guided by the new development concept, supported by new quality productive forces, and guaranteed by an improved institutional environment, China will move steadily and far on the track of high-quality development, laying a solid foundation for achieving basic socialist modernization.
Return to TopWork style construction concerns the success or failure of undertakings. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized: "Promote the normalization and long-term effectiveness of Party work style construction." To do a good job in work style construction, it is necessary to continuously correct unhealthy tendencies and persistently establish excellent new styles. In this issue's "Everyone's Talk," we have selected three submitted articles to discuss with readers how to better achieve the simultaneous correction and establishment of work styles.

Eliminate the "Fake Show" of Discussing Without Acting
Liu Jiayue (刘佳跃)
Collaboration is an important method for advancing work. In practice, there is a phenomenon: some non-leading departments either stay out of it or delay and prevaricate, leading to discussion without action and work being left hanging.
Delving into the ideological roots behind this, there are mainly three. First, avoiding responsibility. Some work involving multiple departments is a difficult "hard bone" or a "hot potato" that is difficult to handle, and it is not easy to promote. Some departments, in order to seek "stability," are afraid of taking responsibility and engage in "fake shows" of formal participation without substantive advancement. Second, calculating gains and losses. Some departments have concerns: "If things are done well, the credit goes to others; if they are not done well, we have to share the responsibility." Driven by this mentality of "credit doesn't come to me, but blame might," they push away what they can and respond passively. Third, departmentalism is at play. The idea of "each sweeps the snow from his own door, and doesn't care about the frost on others' roofs" still has an influence, and they only care about managing their own "one acre three points of land."
The more difficult the problem, the more necessary it is to work together to overcome it; the more complex the work, the more necessary it is to do a good job in coordination and cooperation. Collaboration is both a requirement and a responsibility, and it is also wisdom and a reflection of one's state of mind. To eliminate similar "fake shows," it is necessary to truly establish a sense of the big picture, look at the big picture more, calculate the overall account, and at the same time, put more effort into refining responsibilities so that the division of labor among all parties is clearer. Only in this way can we grasp every piece of work and achieve results in everything.
Sharpen Iron Shoulders to Walk Faster
Xu Hanyan (徐汉炎)
At present, the tasks of reform, development, and stability are arduous and heavy, but some cadres have a fear of difficulty, a fear of hardship, and a mentality of lying flat, treating work lightly and avoiding the heavy, pushing tasks up and down, and dodging left and right in the face of responsibility.
I can't help but think of something from my childhood. During the summer vacation, I followed my father to carry water to fight the drought. At first, I could only carry half a bucket of water, but later I gradually increased it to more than half a bucket, a full bucket, and my steps became more stable and faster. After a few days, my shoulders were rubbed and pressed red by the carrying pole. My mother felt sorry for me, but my father said, "'Three days of shoulders, two days of legs.' Practice your shoulders more, develop calluses, and you can carry heavy burdens." "If you don't endure this hardship, you won't be able to carry it. Only with heavy burdens on your shoulders can you walk faster." Only with pressure can there be motivation, and only by carrying heavy burdens can you develop "iron shoulders" and real skills. This is true for personal growth and development, and it is also true for starting a business.
Conversely, if you avoid heavy burdens when you see them and detour when you encounter difficulties, it seems easy and stable, but in fact, you miss the opportunity to exercise, and in the end, you are likely to become mediocre due to long-term slackness. When an organization places a cadre in a certain position, it is trust, but also a test and cultivation. Striving to take on heavy burdens, daring to take responsibility, and being good at doing things, without waiting to be urged, this is the responsibility, and it is also the pursuit of realizing one's own value.
Don't Let Horizontal Exchanges Become "A Quick Look Around"
Duan Weili (段伟利)
Horizontal exchange is a common way for various regions and units to learn from each other, learn from each other's strengths, and make up for their weaknesses. However, in practice, some exchanges stop at "taking a turn, taking a look, listening, and taking notes." A superficial understanding that wastes resources and is difficult to be effective.
Horizontal exchange was originally intended to increase knowledge and broaden horizons, but in the end, it fell into the trap of formalism. Behind this, there is the problem of insufficient ideological understanding, and there are also factors of improper exchange methods. In terms of ideological understanding, some cadres regard learning and exchange as an opportunity for "relaxation" and "play"; some regard exchange as a "task" or a highlight, exchanging for the sake of exchange, only seeking the form to "pass," not seeking the exchange to "produce results." If there is a deviation in ideological understanding, it is difficult to deepen exchange and interaction.
From the perspective of exchange methods, some cadres do not do enough homework before the exchange, neither sorting out the problems to be solved nor understanding the other party's characteristics and advantages. During the exchange, there is a lack of work initiative, and they watch what they are arranged to watch. Such "passive" exchange will naturally not learn true experience and true skills.
To avoid horizontal exchange becoming "a quick look around," we must adhere to the problem-oriented approach, clarify the blockages and difficulties in the work before departure, ask clearly about good experiences and understand good methods during the exchange, and promptly sort out the results and transform them into work ideas after the exchange. Only by starting with problems, exchanging with thinking, and implementing with plans can we continuously improve our work through learning and exchange.

A friend of mine often chooses chain restaurant brands when dining out. When asked why, he replied, "Chain brands have more stable quality and are more reassuring." Unified branding and stable quality make chain restaurants popular among many people.
In recent years, the branding and scaling of China's catering industry have continuously improved. According to statistics, the chain rate of catering has increased from 15% in 2020 to 23% in 2024. For catering companies, chaining is not only an "accelerator" for scaled development but also an important path to improving service quality.
Chain catering companies often have wide geographical coverage and a large number of stores, which poses challenges to corporate management. Some companies, during the scaling-up stage, neglect the management of their stores, leading to a decline in quality and even food safety problems. Some companies "only open stores but don't manage them," some "only charge fees but don't take responsibility," and others are like "one big family when things are good, but pass the buck to each other when problems arise." This not only harms consumer interests but also brings negative impacts to the industry's image.
Chain catering, brand chaining, and responsibility must also be "chained." Some chain companies have food safety problems mainly because of low management levels and ineffective implementation of food safety responsibilities. Not long ago, the State Administration for Market Regulation (市场监管总局) issued the "Supervision and Management Regulations on Chain Catering Service Enterprises Implementing the Main Responsibility for Food Safety" (《餐饮服务连锁企业落实食品安全主体责任监督管理规定》), precisely to tighten and solidify their main responsibility for food safety and effectively ensure the "safety on the tip of the tongue" of the people. Implementing relevant regulations is not only a requirement to safeguard the bottom line of food safety but also an opportunity to improve corporate governance levels.
The "responsibility chain" of each entity must be clear. Chain catering companies involve many participants, including corporate headquarters, branches, central kitchens, and specific stores. Formulating a risk control list, implementing food safety responsibilities to each unit, and promoting management from post-event handling to pre-event prevention can better prevent risks and hidden dangers.
The "supervision chain" of inspection and evaluation should be improved. The chain of quality and safety management in chain catering is long, involving all aspects of procurement, processing, storage, and distribution. Any link that **失守** (shī shǒu - "lose guard," to fail to maintain control or vigilance) may lead to health damage. Regularly conducting inspections and evaluations, and improving the risk prevention and control mechanism in conjunction with the common food safety problems found, is a responsible attitude.
We should also build a solid "brand chain" through standardized management. Chaining is not only an operational union but also a standardization unity. Strengthening standardized food safety management, so that consumers can enjoy reassuring catering services in any store, will enable companies to win consumer trust. Of course, standardized management is to ensure relatively consistent quality, which does not mean that innovation in supply cannot be adapted to local conditions. On the contrary, only by adhering to the bottom line while continuously exploring innovation can stores in different places better satisfy the taste buds of diners.
For chain catering companies, ensuring food safety with responsibility "chaining" is a development wisdom. The catering industry has relatively low barriers to entry. To gain a firm foothold and stand out in the fierce market competition, it must win with word-of-mouth and establish itself with quality. From promoting "Internet + transparent kitchen," allowing consumers to view the back kitchen operations in real-time online and offline, to disclosing information such as food supply and purchase, "sunshine" the information, the more solid the food safety dam is built, the more chain catering companies can win consumer trust and achieve long-term development.
Looking at it from a broader perspective, consolidating the responsibilities of chain catering companies and preventing food safety risks is also an inherent requirement of "vigorously boosting consumption." Only by eating safely and comfortably can consumers dare and be willing to consume. On the basis of ensuring food safety, "locking" the quality of each food, and at the same time better exerting the leading role of leading enterprises, will provide a stronger impetus and vitality for the sustained and healthy development of the catering market.
Return to TopSmall and medium-sized rivers flow through urban and rural areas, serving as both the "lifeline" for farmland irrigation and urban-rural water supply and the "scenic line" for residents' leisure and water access. Not long ago, China's first national standard for happy rivers and lakes, formulated by the Ministry of Water Resources (水利部), was officially released, focusing on small and medium-sized rivers with a basin area of less than 3,000 square kilometers. It clarified the value rules for the river and lake happiness index, the formation rules for evaluation results, and the preparation of evaluation reports, providing a clear and reliable benchmark for various regions to carry out river and lake protection and management.
This is precisely:
The clear waves meander around homes,
Gulls and egrets chase each other into the reeds.
Watering thousands of acres of emerald green fields,
Children's laughter reflects the rosy clouds.

With the increase in children's theater festivals and international exchanges, the creation and performance of children's plays in cities such as Beijing (北京) and Shanghai (上海) have become increasingly active, and are welcomed by parents and children. Some children's plays have moved from theaters to primary schools and communities, playing an important role in school art education and aesthetic education, and playing a positive role in community cultural construction.
In recent years, children's plays have flourished and excellent works have emerged frequently. However, with the continuous increase of children's plays, some works deviate from the psychological characteristics and cognitive laws of children's growth stages, and unsuitability problems have appeared.
In what aspects is this misalignment reflected? Some children's plays underestimate children's cognitive level, the characters are thin, and the plot is too simple; some children's plays either have adult-like lines, bringing in adult thinking, or are childish, even deliberately pinching their throats to talk to children; some stories and themes are old, and there is a tendency toward homogenization. This misplaced expression does not conform to the positioning of children's plays, and also affects secondary creative development and dissemination.
Children's plays are an integral part of children's literature and children's art. The creation, performance and development of children's plays should fully consider children's level of understanding and aesthetic habits. To promote the healthy development of children's plays, it is necessary to adhere to children's literary and artistic qualities. In the creation of works, truly starting from the perspective and needs of children, children's plays can better immerse children's hearts and help children grow up healthily and happily.

Stepping onto the bluestone paths and exploring along the alleys, one can see mottled old walls and newly painted murals, hear the whirring of coffee grinders, and also find many tourists taking photos... The Ximen Street (西门街) area of Qujing (曲靖), Yunnan (云南), exudes vitality in a blend of tranquility and liveliness, giving people a sense of experiencing both the "old" and appreciating the "new."
In the past, this old neighborhood located in the city center had dilapidated and idle old buildings and was regarded as a "scar on the city." But was it really a "scar"? The Ximen Street (西门街) area has a history of over 600 years, with more than 2,000 modern and contemporary buildings, containing the city's cultural heritage. How can the neighborhood be revitalized while preserving its cultural heritage?
Protecting the original appearance of the buildings and introducing modern commerce allows the old courtyards to "join hands" with new business formats. While protecting the original architectural style, we adhere to micro-renovations and meticulous craftsmanship. For example, the Tianchi Courtyard (天池别院), formerly known as the Huang Family Courtyard (黄家大院), retains the old architectural style after renovation, introduces business formats such as tea drinks, and opens up reading spaces, filling the old house with the fragrance of tea and books, and making it rich in cultural charm. Today, old houses are transformed into entrepreneurial spaces, idle courtyards become popular cafes, and the old street attracts about 10,000 tourists every day, driving more than 30 million yuan in consumption each year and providing more than 900 jobs for local people. The "new flavor" of the old neighborhood comes from the resonance of improving the environment and inheriting culture, and from the combination of local characteristics and fashion trends. By retaining characteristics, cultivating business formats, and passing on cultural heritage, the old neighborhood can release new charm.
Give play to the guiding role of the government, stimulate social participation, and transform "one-way management" into "joint governance." The revitalization of the old street will inevitably bring about population agglomeration. How should the infrastructure be transformed? How can environmental remediation be effective in the long term? How can commercial operations and residents' lives achieve harmonious win-win results? The problems after development cannot be avoided or bypassed, and must be solved through institutional innovation. The Qilin District (麒麟区) of Qujing City (曲靖市) has established a dedicated urban management and comprehensive law enforcement team for the area, and collects public opinions through the "Tuesday Public Opinion Forum" mechanism to solve practical problems. At the same time, it encourages the establishment of community merchant alliances and guides merchants to spontaneously formulate integrity management standards. By strengthening the mechanism of joint consultation on difficult problems, shared responsibility, and shared benefits, grassroots governance can form a strong synergy.
Retain the "original residents" and also introduce new residents, turning "dormant resources" into "entrepreneurial assets." The old neighborhood has become an incubator for innovation and entrepreneurship, and also a popular destination and gathering place for young people. Young people are not only the main force in the consumer market, but also the pioneers of innovation and entrepreneurship. Today, many locals have returned to Ximen Street (西门街). As a local 90s generation entrepreneur, Bao Xin (保鑫) cleverly integrates traditional Chinese medicine into modern tea drinks, creating a composite space interwoven with the fragrance of medicine and the charm of tea, allowing traditional culture to reach life in a more fashionable way, attracting many tourists. Young people start businesses, consumers check in, increase local employment, popularity brings business opportunities, and business opportunities gather popularity again, forming a positive cycle of new supply and new consumption. By attracting people with industries and retaining people with policies, not only can the old neighborhood "live" up, but also various new business formats can obtain greater development space.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal puts forward that "we should strengthen the effective protection and dynamic inheritance of famous historical and cultural cities, blocks, villages and towns." Based on respect for history, grasp of laws, and tolerance for innovation, doing a good job in inheritance and development will make our cities richer in connotation, more charming, and more vibrant.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has adhered to a people-centered approach, placing disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief work in a more prominent position. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has issued a series of important instructions and directives, and put forward a series of new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies. The "Proposal of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Proposal"), adopted at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, made further arrangements for improving disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. We must conscientiously study and comprehend, and earnestly implement these arrangements, strengthen various disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief efforts in a targeted manner, and create a safe and stable environment for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.
I. Deeply Understanding the Great Significance of Improving Disaster Prevention, Mitigation, and Relief Capabilities
China is one of the countries in the world most severely affected by natural disasters. The multiplicity of disaster types, wide distribution, high frequency of occurrence, and heavy losses are basic national conditions. Facing a complex and severe disaster situation, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, all regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee, comprehensively strengthened disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief work, successfully overcome a series of major and extraordinarily serious natural disasters, and minimized disaster losses to the greatest extent possible. At the same time, we must also soberly recognize that China's overall disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities are still relatively weak, and problems such as emphasizing disaster relief over prevention, emphasizing development over risk, and failure to implement responsibilities still exist to varying degrees. The defense capabilities of some urban and rural infrastructure are weak, especially as the extremity and destructiveness of natural disasters have intensified in recent years, highlighting the urgency of improving disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. Improving disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities is of great and far-reaching significance for effectively responding to the challenges and impacts of various disaster risks, safeguarding the lives and property of the people and social stability, and ensuring the steady and long-term progress of Chinese-style modernization.
(I) This is an inevitable requirement for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that we are now closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, but the road ahead is not smooth. We must improve our ability to prevent major disasters and rescue major emergencies, and prepare to resist major natural disasters such as the Tangshan Earthquake (唐山大地震), the Wenchuan Earthquake (汶川严重地震), and the 1998 Yangtze River Flood (1998年长江洪水). The struggle against natural disasters is an eternal topic for human survival and development, and the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation is a history of fighting against natural disasters. Chinese-style modernization is a modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. To comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, we need to soberly recognize the long-term, complex, and severe nature of natural disaster risks, always maintain a sense of worry, adhere to respecting nature, adapting to nature, and protecting nature, reduce the probability of natural disasters caused by human factors, and comprehensively improve the ability to prevent and respond to various types of disasters.
(II) This is the basic support for coordinating high-quality development and high-level security. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that it is necessary to achieve a virtuous cycle of high-quality development and high-level security. Disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief are related to the safety of people's lives and property and social harmony and stability. It is an important aspect of measuring the leadership of the ruling party, testing the execution of the government, evaluating the mobilization of the country, and reflecting the cohesion of the nation. Against the backdrop of global warming, the extremity of natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, droughts, geological disasters, and forest and grassland fires in China has further intensified, and major earthquakes and mega-disasters are also major risks that may be faced at any time, seriously threatening the safety of people's lives and property and food security, economic security, social security, and national security. We must adhere to the overall national security concept, coordinate high-quality development and high-level security, accelerate the establishment of a scientific and efficient natural disaster prevention and control system, strive to prevent and resolve major disaster risks, and weave a solid disaster safety guarantee network for people to live and work in peace, social stability and order, and long-term national stability, so as to better meet the people's yearning for a better life.
(III) This is the due meaning of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that to better give play to the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, we must promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities in various fields. Disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief involve various fields such as economy, society, and ecology. It is not only an important task of national governance, but also an important manifestation of national governance capabilities. The practice of successfully responding to major and extraordinarily serious disasters time and again shows that the political advantage of the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee is the fundamental guarantee for disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief work, and the institutional advantage of concentrating efforts to accomplish great things is conducive to gathering a strong force to overcome difficulties together. We must continuously summarize regular understanding from the practice of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief struggles, accelerate the construction of a disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief system and capabilities that are adapted to the requirements of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, and effectively transform China's institutional advantages into disaster governance effectiveness.
II. Accurately Grasping the Basic Requirements for Improving Disaster Prevention, Mitigation, and Relief Capabilities
Improving disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities is a complex and systematic project. We must comprehensively implement Xi Jinping (习近平)'s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, adhere to and strengthen the Party's overall leadership, adhere to the people-first and life-first principle, adhere to coordinating development and security, conscientiously practice the disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief concept of "two insistences and three transformations," proactively serve the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization, and coordinate with economic and social development and adapt to climate change. Focus on grasping the following aspects.
(I) Taking adhering to and strengthening the Party's overall leadership as the fundamental guarantee. The Party's overall leadership is the fundamental foundation and lifeline of the Party and the country, and is the interest and destiny of all ethnic groups in the country. The suddenness and unpredictability of various natural disasters are prominent. Disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief work involves a large workload, a wide range of areas, and strong challenges. We must give full play to the Party's leading core role in commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties, and run the Party's leadership through the entire process and all aspects of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief work, promote cross-regional, cross-level, cross-departmental, and cross-military-civilian coordination and linkage, and gather disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief synergy. We must comprehensively consolidate political responsibilities. All regions and departments must transform the sense of responsibility of "always being worried" into the action of "knowing everything in mind" from the political height of deeply understanding the decisive significance of the "two establishments," strengthening the "four consciousnesses," strengthening the "four confidences," and achieving the "two safeguards," refine responsibilities, each assume their own responsibilities, and form a work pattern of joint management and coordinated cooperation.
(II) Taking promoting the transformation of the public safety governance model to ex-ante prevention as the main line. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee made major deployments to promote the transformation of the public safety governance model to ex-ante prevention. Compared with in-event emergency rescue and post-event recovery and reconstruction, ex-ante prevention is a more effective, more economical, and safer disaster prevention and mitigation strategy. We must adhere to safety first and prevention first, and take routine disaster reduction as a basic task, and persevere in it for a long time. We must focus on enhancing risk identification capabilities, strengthen proactive prevention, improve the disaster risk prevention and resolution mechanism, and start from the source. In the "15th Five-Year Plan" outline and related special plans, plan and deploy a number of key natural disaster prevention and control projects, and continue to increase investment. We must establish the concept that emergency preparedness is also prevention, prepare for major risks and major disasters in response to the most unfavorable and extreme situations, comprehensively guard against all kinds of sudden major disasters, and further demonstrate the ability and efficiency of Chinese-style rescue.
(III) Taking comprehensive disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief and systematic treatment as the starting point. We must comprehensively promote disaster prevention and response work in accordance with the deployment requirements of the Party Central Committee on establishing a large safety and large emergency framework. Adhere to the overall response to all types of disasters, under the leadership of the Party committee and the government, give full play to the overall coordination role of the National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief Committee and the comprehensive advantages of emergency management departments and the professional advantages of relevant departments, and promote all-round and all-element collaborative linkage. Adhere to unified management throughout the entire process, not only strengthen monitoring and early warning, disaster prevention and preparedness, risk management, and disaster prevention capacity building, but also effectively improve emergency response, disaster relief, and reconstruction levels. Adhere to all-weather active prevention, improve the risk assessment mechanism, pre-position rescue forces and materials, and ensure efficient action. Adhere to the orderly coordination of all forces, and coordinate the use of various forces such as the national comprehensive fire and rescue team, the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force, the professional rescue forces of relevant departments, central enterprises, and social rescue forces. Adhere to the unity of governing by law, promoting safety through science and technology, and strengthening safety through talent, and at the same time actively give play to the role of market mechanisms such as finance and insurance to improve the effectiveness of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief.
(IV) Taking social co-governance as a guarantee. The greatest source of power for disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief is the people. We must adhere to the mass viewpoint and the mass line, expand effective ways for the people to participate in disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief, and give play to the active role of social forces such as enterprises, public institutions, mass organizations, and volunteers. Incorporate disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief into the citizen safety education system, popularize relevant knowledge to the whole society, and improve the public's self-rescue and mutual rescue skills. Give full play to the role of grassroots Party organizations as fighting fortresses and the exemplary role of Party members, and organize cadres and the masses in disaster-stricken areas to actively participate in emergency rescue. Promote grid management of safety risks, support and guide community residents to carry out risk hazard investigation and management, carry out regular emergency evacuation drills, and build a people's defense line for disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief.
III. Solidly Implementing Key Tasks for Improving Disaster Prevention, Mitigation, and Relief Capabilities
The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for laying the foundation and comprehensively exerting efforts to basically realize socialist modernization. We must adhere to problem-oriented and goal-oriented approaches, adhere to bottom-line thinking and extreme thinking, focus on key links and bottleneck problems, strengthen targeted measures, consolidate the foundation of "prevention," enhance the effect of "mitigation," and improve the ability of "rescue" to ensure that the relevant tasks deployed in the "Proposal" are implemented.
(I) Improve the emergency command and responsibility system. Improve the national emergency command mechanism under the framework of large safety and large emergency, build emergency command posts at all levels according to actual combat standards, and build an authoritative, unified, efficient, safe, and departmental coordinated, and upper and lower linkage emergency command system. Implement the main responsibility of local Party committees and governments for disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief, and in accordance with the principle of "three management and three musts," refine and clarify the safety management responsibilities of industry departments in flood prevention and flood control, earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, and forest and grassland fire prevention and extinguishing in the entire chain of "one thing." Promote the sharing of resources and information, the linkage of early warning responses, and the coordination of emergency command between upstream and downstream, left and right banks, main streams and tributaries, and departments, and enhance the systematicness and coordination of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief work. Strictly standardize the conduct of natural disaster investigation and assessment, timely discover and solve problems and shortcomings in the construction of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities, and for natural disasters that cause major social impacts, upgrade the investigation and supervise the handling, timely respond to public concerns, and draw inferences from one instance to grasp the rectification.
(II) Improve disaster prevention capabilities. Strengthening natural disaster prevention and control is a fundamental solution to reducing disaster risks. We must strengthen source prevention and run disaster prevention and mitigation requirements through all links such as planning, project approval, construction, and operation. Strictly control the planning safety, make good use of the national comprehensive risk survey results of natural disasters, give play to the role of meteorological, water conservancy, earthquake, natural resources and other departments, adjust and improve the comprehensive risk map and prevention zoning map of natural disasters, and guide hospitals, schools, nursing homes and other scientific planning and site selection. Strictly control safety access, when planning construction projects and implementing major projects, carry out comprehensive disaster risk assessment simultaneously, scientifically determine defense standards, and improve the level of intrinsic safety. Strictly control safety defense, implement a number of backbone flood control projects, small and medium-sized river management, and reinforcement of dangerous reservoirs; distinguish between priorities and implement geological disaster avoidance and relocation, especially for high-risk areas such as mountain flood outlets, high and steep slopes, and high mountain canyons that are not suitable for engineering management; accelerate the advancement of housing and facility reinforcement projects in earthquake-prone areas; strengthen glacier and glacial lake disaster prevention in plateau areas, and in response to global warming leading to glacier retreat, rising snow lines, and glacial lake expansion, strengthen baseline surveys and monitoring and assessment to prevent chain risks caused by glacier collapse and glacial lake outburst; coordinate urban flood control systems and urban waterlogging management, and build safe and reliable resilient cities. In response to the new challenges brought about by the northward shift of rain belts and climate change, and the weak links in flood control work in the northern region, focus on improving the flood control and disaster reduction capabilities in the northern region, and make up for the shortcomings in engineering systems, infrastructure, risk control, and emergency response.
(III) Improve the disaster early warning response mechanism. Practice has shown that accurate early warning and forecasting and early evacuation and avoidance are effective ways to reduce casualties. We must improve disaster monitoring capabilities, build an integrated air, space, and ground natural disaster monitoring system, optimize the layout of various monitoring stations, strengthen standard convergence and data sharing, improve the mass monitoring and prevention mechanism for mountain flood geological disasters, forest and grassland fires, etc., adhere to the combination of "high technology" and "local methods," and give full play to the role of technical experts and "old hands" in water conservancy, geology, etc. We must improve disaster early warning capabilities, strengthen early warning of sudden heavy rain floods, mountain torrents and mudslides, etc., improve the accuracy of forecasting rainfall areas, intensity, and time periods, especially the monitoring and forecasting of heavy rainfall in remote mountainous areas and at night, and try to issue early warnings in advance; improve evacuation and transfer plans for extreme weather, refine the objects, scope, and emergency measures for evacuation, pay special attention to the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled and other people with limited mobility, and improve the adaptability of the plans. Strengthen cross-departmental comprehensive research and judgment such as hydrology and meteorology and cross-regional joint consultations, and strengthen basin-wide collaborative flood prevention and disaster reduction. We must strengthen the linkage between early warning and response, improve the early warning "call response" and tracking feedback mechanism directly to the grassroots level, strengthen the transfer of people in construction sites and flood channels, low-lying areas, and areas near slopes and cliffs, strengthen rigid measures such as shutdown, evacuation, and transfer, and ensure that transfers are made early and completely.
(IV) Strengthen comprehensive rescue capacity building. Focusing on comprehensively improving rescue support capabilities, especially for major earthquake disasters, sudden heavy rain floods, and shortcomings in communication support, force delivery, and equipment support under extreme conditions such as "three breaks" (power outage, road outage, and network outage), implement comprehensive emergency response support capacity improvement actions. We must strengthen the construction of rescue forces, actively promote the modernization of fire and rescue teams, build a national regional emergency rescue center with sharp knives and fists, strengthen the construction of aviation emergency rescue capabilities, strengthen national mine, hazardous chemicals, tunnel, mountain, and water rescue forces, and continue to improve engineering emergency rescue capabilities; improve cross-regional deployment, pre-positioning and deployment mechanisms, promote joint construction and joint training of various teams, and improve rescue and tackling capabilities in extremely complex environments. We must improve emergency plans, strengthen the revision of various disaster response plans, regularly carry out actual combat exercises, and improve pertinence and operability.

We must strengthen advanced equipment support, improve the equipment standards for emergency technology equipment, pay more attention to the application of the Internet of Things, big data, intelligent engineering machinery and other equipment, and improve the application level of advanced scientific and technological equipment urgently needed in life detection, emergency communication, and rescue and search.
(V) Improve the scientific and technological level of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief. Enhancing scientific and technological support capabilities is the foundation for modernizing disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief capabilities. We must strengthen the construction of scientific research forces, optimize and integrate scientific and technological resources, establish a number of scientific research centers and key laboratories for disaster and accident prevention and disposal across the country, promote the construction of scientific experimental fields for mega-earthquakes, and rely on relevant professional scientific research institutions to deepen the research on the formation and evolution mechanisms and laws of major natural disasters. Facing the practical needs of major disaster prevention and control, we will carry out research and development of key technologies and advanced equipment in risk assessment, monitoring and early warning, and emergency command, especially strengthening the technological breakthroughs in forecasting and early warning of extreme rainstorms, flash floods, mudslides, landslides, and other disasters, and focusing on solving the problem of emergency communication support in the event of "three breaks" (断网 duàn wǎng - "network outage," 断电 duàn diàn - "power outage," 断路 duàn lù - "road outage").

To cultivate and form a high-level cultural talent team that is large in scale, structurally reasonable, and keen on innovation.
——Excerpt from the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal
In the early morning, walking into the cultural relics conservation center of the Sanxingdui Museum (三星堆博物馆), seeing the fragments of cultural relics quietly displayed on the workbench, a sense of awe arises spontaneously.
In 2012, after graduating from university, I devoted myself to the work of restoring cultural relics at Sanxingdui (三星堆), and I have been doing this for more than 10 years. When I first started, I was fortunate enough to study with Guo Hanzhong (郭汉中), a cultural relics restorer at the Sanxingdui Museum (三星堆博物馆) and a "Master Craftsman of the Great Power," and since then I have knocked on the door of cultural relics restoration. I still remember my first task - restoring a pottery jar from the Republican period transferred from the Yanting County Cultural Relics Management Office (盐亭县文管所) in Sichuan (四川). At that time, I had no experience. From cleaning the soil between the cracks to mixing the adhesive to fill the cracks, every step was guided by Mr. Guo (郭老师) himself. He often said that cultural relics restorers are like doctors, and the "lesions" of each cultural relic are different, so specific problems must be analyzed specifically.
I kept these words in mind, and while my skills became more and more refined, I realized the key point of cultural relics restoration - to be in awe and to be flexible.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the Sanxingdui (三星堆) cultural and expo industry continued to develop, and the restoration of cultural relics also entered a new stage of systematization. Among the more than 17,000 cultural relics unearthed in the new round of excavations, many fragments were scattered in different sacrificial pits. If the traditional manual comparison and splicing method is used, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also may cause potential damage to the cultural relics. Faced with this challenge, we have gradually built a restoration system that combines traditional techniques, scientific and technological analysis, and digital means, and have completed the restoration of more than 4,000 cultural relics.
Technological empowerment has made the restoration effect more and more significant. Non-destructive testing technology establishes detailed archives for each cultural relic, AI technology realizes the precise matching of fragments, 3D printing effectively avoids secondary damage to cultural relics, and the integration of multiple disciplines has solved the restoration problems of special categories such as organic cultural relics and bronzes.
Looking back on the past, when the No. 1 and No. 2 sacrificial pits of the Sanxingdui site (三星堆遗址) were excavated, the archaeological excavation work was mostly carried out in the open air. The staff only had ordinary tools. After the cultural relics were unearthed, due to the sudden change in the environment, regrettable situations such as the fading of painted colors and the carbonization of organic matter often occurred.
Now, all the No. 3 to No. 8 sacrificial pits have been built with fully enclosed archaeological cabins. The constant temperature and humidity environment can effectively isolate external dust and bacteria, so that cultural relics can be accurately protected as soon as they are unearthed, laying a solid foundation for subsequent restoration. In the core restoration link, the advantages of technological empowerment are even more significant: first, scan the fragments in all directions and build a three-dimensional model, and then use AI to automatically extract shape features to accurately match the fitting parts, which greatly improves the restoration efficiency and accuracy.
From the oral teaching of traditional craftsmanship to the human-machine collaboration of modern technology, the methods of cultural relics restoration are constantly iterating, but our awe of cultural relics and our determination to protect them have never changed.
Looking forward to the "15th Five-Year Plan," Sanxingdui (三星堆) will take "building a world cultural heritage site, an important symbol of Chinese culture, and a world-class cultural tourism landmark" as its goal, and continue to promote the protection, restoration and research and interpretation of cultural relics. We will participate in the establishment of provincial key laboratories, complete the protection and restoration of the remaining more than 10,000 newly unearthed cultural relics, and also compile protection and restoration standards and promote mature models.
From a personal point of view, in recent years, what I have inherited is not only the craftsmanship of cultural relics restoration, but also the mission of protecting the outstanding achievements of Chinese civilization. It is my unchanging pursuit to allow more Sanxingdui (三星堆) cultural relics to span thousands of years and pass on the brilliant stories of Chinese civilization to more people.

(People's Daily, Beijing, November 12th) (Reporter Han Xin (韩鑫)) Monitoring data from the State Post Bureau (国家邮政局) shows that during this year's "Double 11" period (October 21st to November 11th), the cumulative volume of express delivery business nationwide reached 13.938 billion pieces, with an average daily collection volume of 634 million pieces, which is 117.8% of the daily business volume. The scale of the express delivery market continues to expand, strongly supporting consumption upgrades and economic growth.
The peak business season is an important window for observing industry operations. "This year, the industry welcomes its sixteenth peak season for express delivery business, with a long duration, a huge volume of business, and continuous pressure on the service network," introduced the relevant person in charge of the State Post Bureau (国家邮政局). The peak daily business volume reached 777 million pieces, breaking the single-day business volume record.
The level of collaboration is stronger. Taobao Tmall (淘宝天猫) continues to promote the "large-item home decoration centralized transportation" model in the western region. During the "Double 11" period, the order volume of merchants offering free shipping in Gansu (甘肃), Qinghai (青海), Ningxia (宁夏), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), and Xinjiang (新疆) increased by 30% year-on-year. Douyin E-commerce (抖音电商) launched a "promotion logistics guarantee" mechanism to improve the fulfillment efficiency of key merchants. The postal express delivery industry strengthens information collaboration with e-commerce platforms, optimizes mail and express processing procedures, and ensures that the industry operates more smoothly and orderly.
The degree of intelligence is higher. This year's "Double 11," nearly 3,000 unmanned delivery vehicles from ZTO (中通) delivered more than 200,000 packages daily. YTO's (圆通) self-developed AI system increased peak delivery efficiency by 3.2% year-on-year. Major express delivery companies have promoted unmanned delivery equipment and upgraded network information systems, significantly improving end-service guarantee capabilities.

Stepping into Qingdao Sprun Water Treatment Co., Ltd. (青岛思普润水处理股份有限公司), located in the Qingdao West Coast New Area (青岛西海岸新区) of Shandong (山东), the production workshop is a hive of activity, with workers stepping up the production of sewage treatment equipment... Soon, this batch of equipment will be applied in Hong Kong (香港).
The smooth operation of the project is inseparable from the legal service guarantee provided by the Qingdao Public Legal Service Center (青岛市公共法律服务中心). Focusing on serving the diverse legal needs of business entities, the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee (青岛市委) and the Municipal Government (市政府) explored the construction of the Central Legal District, led by the Municipal Party Committee Political and Legal Committee (市委政法委) to integrate legal service resources, and create a high-energy agglomeration area of public legal services integrating "government, industry, academia, research, and application." The Qingdao Public Legal Service Center (青岛市公共法律服务中心) is located in the Central Legal District, with 12 supporting service windows set up to provide enterprises and the public with one-stop legal services.
In April of this year, Sprun Company (思普润公司) won a bid for a sewage treatment project in Hong Kong (香港). In the subsequent promotion of the project, the company needs to issue a performance guarantee in accordance with the requirements of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (香港特区) government. However, the guarantee made the person in charge of the company, Yu Zhenbin (于振滨), feel difficult.
It turns out that the form of performance guarantee provided by Hong Kong (香港) is special and differs from the independent guarantees generally used by mainland banks. After running several banks in a row, due to consideration of risk control requirements, they were unable to issue this form of guarantee. Yu Zhenbin (于振滨) was very anxious: "If the guarantee cannot be issued as scheduled, the previous efforts will be in vain," or 打水漂 (dǎ shuǐ piāo - "hit water float," to come to nothing; to go down the drain).
"The Municipal Public Legal Service Center (市公共法律服务中心) brings together the best legal resources in the city, and has a legal service window specially opened for enterprises, you can try it." After discussion, Yu Zhenbin (于振滨) walked into the Qingdao Public Legal Service Center (青岛市公共法律服务中心). "Don't worry, we will screen professional legal teams to provide you with consulting assistance." At the enterprise-related legal service center window, service specialist Zheng Lici (郑鲁慈) carefully recorded the difficulties currently facing Sprun Company (思普润公司).
Two days later, Yu Zhenbin (于振滨) came here again. Under the introduction of Zheng Lici (郑鲁慈), Yu Zhenbin (于振滨) had full communication with Sun Fanglong (孙芳龙), a lawyer from a law firm. Jiang Zhihao (江志浩), Deputy Secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee Political and Legal Committee (青岛市委政法委), introduced: "Considering that the law firm has an office in Hong Kong (香港), has strong professional capabilities, and has rich experience in handling cases, we recommended it."
After understanding the project situation, Sun Fanglong (孙芳龙) contacted the Hong Kong (香港) office of the law firm as soon as possible. After comprehensive consideration, he recommended that Sprun Company (思普润公司) communicate with a bank with more performance guarantee business to help them understand the substantive content and formal content of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (香港特区) government guarantee. On the basis of fully understanding the differences between mainland and Hong Kong (香港) laws on the form of guarantees, the bank issued a guarantee for Sprun Company (思普润公司), solving the company's urgent need. Since the beginning of this year, relying on the Public Legal Service Center (公共法律服务中心), the Qingdao Central Legal District (青岛中央法务区) has accepted 1,629 enterprise legal consultations, resolved 4,655 enterprise-related disputes, and provided more than 400 customized legal services for enterprises.
Dispute resolution is more timely and efficient. After the completion of the Qingdao Central Legal District (青岛中央法务区), the Qingdao International Commercial Court (青岛国际商事法庭), the Qingdao Intellectual Property Court (青岛知识产权法庭), and the Qingdao Maritime Court (青岛海事法院) trial area have been successively stationed. The Qingdao Maritime Court (青岛海事法院) publicly heard a foreign-related maritime dispute case. Qingdao Haoyang Ocean Fishery Co., Ltd. (青岛浩洋远洋渔业有限公司) sued a company for compensation for damage to frozen squid. Haoyang Company (浩洋公司) believed that the temperature in the container was abnormal during the sea transportation, resulting in the thawing and damage of the squid, causing significant economic losses, and claimed more than 1 million yuan.
This batch of squid was self-caught goods, exported from abroad to China (中国). In order to accurately determine the value of the goods, the collegial panel focused on reviewing the export process and the customs declaration at the port of departure during the trial. After learning that the plaintiff hoped to receive compensation as soon as possible, the collegial panel fully listened to the plaintiff's opinions, and the presiding judge Wang Xin (王欣) took the initiative to give mediation suggestions. After careful mediation, the plaintiff and defendant reached a settlement. Within a week, the plaintiff received compensation and the losses were compensated.
In order to focus on resolving international commercial and maritime disputes, Qingdao (青岛) integrates judicial, arbitration, mediation and other service resources, establishes a digital platform for diversified resolution of foreign-related commercial disputes, and innovates a diversified resolution mechanism for foreign-related commercial and maritime disputes. Since last year, it has concluded a total of 534 foreign-related cases and cases involving Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (港澳台), with a target amount of more than 12 billion yuan, and a case mediation and withdrawal rate of 45%.
Legal services are more comprehensive and systematic. Qingdao (青岛) has also built enterprise cross-border comprehensive service bases, China-Arab Countries Foreign-related Legal Service Center (中国—阿拉伯国家涉外法律服务中心) and other service institutions, and established overseas service stations in the United Arab Emirates (阿联酋) and other places to provide enterprises with all-round and full life cycle services such as legal consultation and risk investigation for enterprise development and enterprise going overseas, and guide enterprises to actively prevent foreign-related disputes and reduce overseas investment risks.
As a country where common law and civil law are integrated, the legal system of the United Arab Emirates (阿联酋) is relatively unfamiliar and complex for Chinese-funded enterprises. Yongtai Yun Chemical Logistics Co., Ltd. (永泰运化工物流股份有限公司) plans to invest in building an overseas warehousing and logistics base there. Before the investment, Yongtai Yun Company (永泰运公司) came to the China-Arab Countries Foreign-related Legal Service Center (中国—阿拉伯国家涉外法律服务中心) to seek special legal services such as foreign-related risks, land ownership, and market access policy consultation. Here, Yongtai Yun Company (永泰运公司) was connected to a law firm in the United Arab Emirates (阿联酋), which provided Yongtai Yun Company (永泰运公司) with legal services throughout the entire investment landing cycle. Wang Qiaoling (王巧玲), the person in charge of the company, believes that the "one-stop" and "full-process" legal service model reduces Yongtai Yun's (永泰运) overseas management burden, enabling it to concentrate on the construction of the base and business expansion.
As of now, the Qingdao Central Legal District (青岛中央法务区) has promoted the landing of 12 enterprises in the United Arab Emirates (阿联酋) and Saudi Arabia (沙特), and more than 20 enterprises have successfully developed the Middle East market, prompting the elimination of more than 1,000 risks in the fields of intellectual property rights and tax payment for enterprises overseas.
In October of this year, the Standing Committee of the Qingdao Municipal People's Congress (青岛市人大常委会) passed the "Decision on Promoting the Construction of the Qingdao Central Legal District" (《关于促进青岛中央法务区建设的决定》), and the construction of the Qingdao Central Legal District (青岛中央法务区) is becoming more and more standardized. "The rule of law is the best business environment. We adhere to integrity and innovation, accurately grasp the diverse legal needs of business entities, innovate and create a modern legal service ecosystem, promote the iterative upgrade from 'doing business' to 'suitable for business', and make enterprise development more confident and comfortable." Cheng Dezhi (程德智), member of the Standing Committee of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee (青岛市委常委) and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee (政法委书记), said.

Our law firm moved into the Sichuan Tianfu Central Legal Affairs District (四川天府中央法务区) in 2021. Here, there are enterprise service centers, financial mediation centers, bankruptcy affairs centers, legal technology centers, and foreign-related legal service centers, forming a full-cycle, full-element, and all-round legal service platform pattern. This is not just a simple office gathering area, but also forms a full-chain legal service ecosystem.
The Legal Affairs District has built a high-level service platform, enabling us to directly connect with science and technology innovation enterprises, import and export enterprises, and obtain case sources such as finance and intellectual property, giving our professional service capabilities a broader market. With the help of the "Belt and Road" legal service network, we have also undertaken cross-border investment, international arbitration and other businesses, broadening the scope of services and career development space. Working here, my biggest feeling is that it is time-saving and efficient, from case handling procedures to business expansion, which has brought us tangible convenience.

Return to TopThis newspaper reported from Nanjing (南京) on November 12th (Reporter Yin Xiaoyu (尹晓宇), Zhang Tianpei (张天培)) On November 12th, as a Chinese civil aviation passenger plane landed at Nanjing Lukou International Airport (南京禄口国际机场), She Zhijiang (佘智江), one of the "Top Ten Fugitives" wanted by our public security organs for cross-border gambling – the principal culprit of the gambling and fraud crime group "Asia Pacific New City" (亚太新城) in Myawaddy (妙瓦底), Myanmar (缅甸) – was successfully extradited back to China from Thailand (泰国).
According to the case-handling authority, since 2013, She Zhijiang (佘智江) established Asia Pacific International Holdings Group (亚太国际控股集团) overseas and built the "Asia Pacific New City" (亚太新城) industrial park in Myawaddy (妙瓦底), Myanmar (缅甸) in September 2017. Subsequently, using the park as a cover, he relied on self-operated online gambling platforms to solicit and attract Chinese (中国) citizens to gamble, and by renting properties and providing shelter to gambling and fraud crime groups, he carried out gambling and fraud crimes on a large scale, seriously infringing upon the property safety and legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese (中国) people. The Ministry of Public Security (公安部) attached great importance to this and listed the case as a ministry-supervised case for unified command and leadership, designating the Jiangsu (江苏) public security organs to fully investigate and handle it. The Jiangsu (江苏) public security organs dispatched capable police forces to form a special task force to comprehensively collect evidence and thoroughly investigate the case.
An investigation revealed that the criminal group headed by She Zhijiang (佘智江) established more than 200 gambling platforms online, such as "Red Forest" (红树林), "E-You International" (亿游国际), and "Jiufa Chess and Cards" (久发棋牌), attracting 330,000 people nationwide to participate in online gambling, involving more than 2.7 billion yuan (人民币). At the same time, the criminal group also established a number of companies in China (中国), recruiting personnel to engage in online gambling criminal activities, and colluding with illegal payment and underground bank criminal gangs at home and abroad. In addition, 248 telecom fraud groups in 29 telecom fraud parks in "Asia Pacific New City" (亚太新城) frantically carried out telecom fraud crimes against Chinese (中国) citizens, causing particularly huge losses and extremely bad social impact.
On the basis of mastering the relevant criminal facts and evidence, the special task force, in accordance with the deployment of the Ministry of Public Security (公安部), launched a centralized network collection operation in 17 provinces, successfully destroying the criminal group's network for soliciting and attracting gamblers in China (中国). In response to the situation that the principal culprit She Zhijiang (佘智江) was hiding overseas, the public security organs proposed to Interpol (国际刑警组织) to issue a red notice for his global arrest. In August 2022, the Thai (泰国) police arrested She Zhijiang (佘智江) in Bangkok (曼谷). Subsequently, China (中国) and Thailand (泰国) carried out relevant work in accordance with the bilateral extradition treaty, and finally successfully extradited him back to China (中国). This is another major achievement in law enforcement and judicial cooperation between China (中国) and Thailand (泰国), demonstrating the firm determination and clear stance of both sides to resolutely crack down on online gambling and telecom fraud crimes.
Relevant officials from the Ministry of Public Security (公安部) stated that since the beginning of this year, the law enforcement departments of China (中国), Myanmar (缅甸), and Thailand (泰国) have continued to carry out joint crackdown operations on transnational criminal activities occurring in Myawaddy (妙瓦底), Myanmar (缅甸), and other places, achieving positive results. The public security organs will always maintain a high-pressure situation of strict crackdown on online gambling and telecom fraud crimes, continuously deepen international law enforcement cooperation, continue to promote special crackdowns, and resolutely safeguard the safety of people's lives and property.

"The current environment and order of the farmers' market are good, and it's a pleasure to stroll around!" He Xiumei (何秀梅), a 71-year-old resident of Yonghan Town (永汉镇), Longmen County (龙门县), Huizhou City (惠州市), Guangdong Province (广东省), said as she selected meat, eggs, vegetables, and fruits at the town's farmers' market, "It was different a year ago, with vendors occupying the road, poor sanitation, and vehicles parked haphazardly..."
The transformation from "dirty, chaotic, and poor" to "clean and beautiful" in a farmers' market stems from innovation in grassroots governance.
Yonghan Town (永汉镇), located north of the Nankunshan National Forest Park (南昆山国家森林公园) and west of Zengcheng District (增城区) in Guangzhou City (广州市), boasts beautiful natural scenery and abundant hot spring resources, making it an important cultural and tourism town. Since Guangdong Province (广东省) launched the "Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, Ten Thousand Villages High-Quality Development Project" (百县千镇万村高质量发展工程) (hereinafter referred to as the "BaiQianWan Project" (百千万工程)) in December 2022, Yonghan Town (永汉镇) has focused on the cultural and tourism industry, continuously improving infrastructure, and was selected as a typical town in the "BaiQianWan Project" (百千万工程) in 2023.
However, a difficult problem arose: the inside and outside of the market were messy, the street environment was dirty, and vehicles were parked haphazardly, blocking the roads. How to innovate the governance model and further promote the high-quality development of culture and tourism?
"We introduced modern governance concepts and service systems, entrusting professional matters to professional teams," said He Fan (何帆), head of the Urban Management Service Department of Yonghan Town (永汉镇). Yonghan Town (永汉镇) introduced Poly Property (保利物业), a subsidiary of Poly Developments and Holdings Group (保利发展控股集团), through public bidding, building a new pattern of all-area governance featuring "government leadership, enterprise operation, and professional services." Since October 2024, Poly Property (保利物业) has undertaken public services such as integrated environmental sanitation, urban management assistance, greening management, and river cleaning in Yonghan Town (永汉镇), initiating a three-year period of refined governance.
Farmers' markets are related to the lives of citizens and the livelihoods of farmers. Zhang Pei (张佩), head of Poly City Service Company's (保利城服公司) Huizhou (惠州) region, introduced that a special rectification team was formed to address the long-standing problems of environmental dirtiness and disorder in the town center farmers' market and specialty street. Through a refined grid management mechanism, a combination of "rigid norms + flexible services" was implemented.
"We re-issued management regulations, requiring merchants to operate within the yellow lines in front of their stores and strictly prohibiting encroachment on roads. We have designated temporary stall areas to guide mobile vendors who irregularly occupy roads outside the market to set up stalls in the designated areas. In addition, vendors are required to implement the 'three guarantees in front of the door' (门前三包), maintaining environmental hygiene," said Zhang Pei (张佩). "Considering that many people come to buy groceries by bicycle or car, we have also revitalized idle spaces outside the market to add temporary parking lots for merchants, residents, and tourists to park." Three months later, the rectification initially achieved results, the farmers' market became more tidy and orderly, and the surrounding traffic congestion was significantly alleviated.
In addition to the farmers' market, Yonghan Town's (永汉镇) creative block is also a key area for service improvement.
Nankunshan (南昆山) is the habitat of the leopard cat, a national second-class protected animal. Yonghan Town (永汉镇) created the "Hanbao" (汉宝) leopard cat IP image. In the facade renovation project of street buildings, the "Hanbao" (汉宝) sculpture was integrated with the buildings and streets to create a "Cat Seeking Journey" creative block, attracting many tourists.
In response to the increased pressure on cleaning during the peak tourist season, Poly (保利) further optimized the environmental sanitation operation system, re-planning the placement points of garbage bins according to the layout of merchants and increasing the frequency of cleaning. At the same time, various mechanized environmental sanitation equipment such as sweepers, sprinklers, compression vehicles, and cleaning machines were invested to implement the "mechanical cleaning + manual supplement" operation mode, improving the efficiency of environmental sanitation operations.
Replacing flower boxes, planting flowers, creating a variety of combined green landscapes, painting and renovating the railings on various road sections, repairing lighting decorations... Zhang Pei (张佩) introduced that in order to enhance the cultural and tourism image, the company carried out atmosphere creation for the green landscape and signage on the main roads and important sections of the commercial district.
Changes in key areas give the small town a new look. He Fan (何帆) said: "The order rectification of the farmers' market, the improvement of street environmental sanitation, and the creation of green landscapes have achieved significant results, and the satisfaction of residents and tourists has been greatly improved."
Return to TopThis newspaper's Beijing (北京) dispatch on November 12th (Reporter Zhang Shuo (张烁)) The State Council Taiwan Affairs Office (国务院台办) spokesperson Chen Binhua (陈斌华) introduced in response to inquiries at a regular press conference on the 12th that the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共二十届四中全会) reviewed and approved the "Suggestions of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development," which has continued to trigger high attention and heated discussions from all sectors on the island. Industries on the island such as electronic information, machinery manufacturing, and food processing have expressed their hope to deeply participate in the implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan." Many Taiwan (台湾)-funded businesses have stated that the "15th Five-Year Plan" will inject strong momentum into cross-strait complementary advantages and integrated development, and is an important opportunity for the vast number of Taiwan (台湾)-funded businesses to integrate into the new development pattern and participate in modernization construction.
He stated that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, we will continue to exert efforts in cultivating and strengthening emerging industries and future industries, strengthening original innovation and tackling key core technologies, and promoting the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. As the continuous promotion of guiding new supply with new demand and creating new demand with new supply continues, technological innovation will spawn new industries, new models, and new momentum, which will create a more favorable environment for cross-strait economic cooperation and integrated development in various fields. We will continue to improve the systems and policies for promoting cross-strait economic and cultural exchange and cooperation, and open up a broader and more diverse new world for cross-strait economic cooperation and integrated development. We hope that the vast number of Taiwan (台湾)-funded businesses will seize the historical opportunities of the formulation and implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and jointly explore with us the path of deep integration of cross-strait science and technology industrial innovation, and share the abundant fruits of Chinese-style modernization.

"Previously, applying for a residence permit required several trips, but this time I submitted the request online, and the business community specialist handled it for me quickly." Mentioning his experience, Shen Guohua (沈国华), supervisor of Hangzhou Xiangpiaopiao Food Sales Co., Ltd. (杭州香飘飘食品销售有限公司), an enterprise located in the Xintiandi business district (新天地商圈) of Gongshu District (拱墅区), Hangzhou (杭州) City, Zhejiang Province (浙江省), gave a thumbs up.
The Xintiandi business district (新天地商圈) gathers more than 5,000 various enterprises and nearly 20,000 young talents. In the past, the community where the business district is located had to handle both the trivial matters of residents and various demands of enterprises, and the staff sometimes were overwhelmed and 顾此失彼 (gù cǐ shī bǐ - "attend to one thing and lose sight of another," to attend to one thing and neglect another). To solve the problem of grassroots governance, in 2022, Zhejiang Province's (浙江省) first entity-operated business community was born in the Xintiandi business district (新天地商圈). Unlike traditional communities, its service targets are mainly local enterprises.
If an enterprise has outdoor display needs, the community coordinates with the urban management department to open a green channel to help the enterprise quickly complete the formalities; if dual-income families have difficulty taking care of their children, the community joins hands with the Municipal Children's Palace (市少年宫) to set up a teaching point in the Party and Mass Service Center; if employees have difficulty commuting during the morning and evening peak hours, the community coordinates with the bus company to open a shuttle bus from the subway entrance to the office building... From what enterprises need to what employees expect, the Xintiandi Business Community (新天地商务社区) strives to solve the problems of enterprises and employees.
"We promote Party affairs, business affairs, and services in an integrated manner, and take the optimized setting of grassroots Party organizations as a key support, serving enterprises in the same way as we serve residents." Ni Wei (倪维), Secretary of the Party Committee of Xintiandi Business Community (新天地商务社区), said that high-quality service comes from a clear operating structure: the Party organization takes the lead in coordinating various resources to do a good job in service guarantee; the Comprehensive Service Center opens its doors to implement the work, and 80 government services are realized "downstairs and at the door"; the Building Governance Committee coordinates trivial matters such as elevator maintenance and parking lot expansion, effectively resolving conflicts and disputes.
Not only that, under the overall coordination of the Party organization, the business community also has a professional service team active in the streets and alleys: they include both cadres and full-time social workers, taking the building as a unit to carry out "sweeping the buildings and running enterprises" to actively investigate the needs of enterprises. Nowadays, Gongshu District (拱墅区) has built 30 such business communities, covering 621 buildings and more than 30,000 enterprises.
Faced with the urgent needs and anxieties of the masses, traditional communities also have clever tricks.
"When I turn on the tap, the water is very clear!" Uncle Wang (王大伯), a resident of Xiangbinzhiyueyuan Community (香槟之约园小区) in Xiangfu Street (祥符街道), said happily. Once, the community where he lived often had water outages due to aging underground water pipes. Water supply renovation was imminent, but where would the money come from? All parties had different opinions on the renovation plan, so how to unify opinions?
Xiangfu Street (祥符街道) gave play to the "first review and first discussion" role of the community Party organization, organizing community cadres, the owners' committee, and owner representatives to sit down and discuss the funding plan together. At the same time, the heads of property management and construction units were also included to brainstorm around the renovation plan.
After a discussion, everyone finally reached an agreement: crowdfunding renovation and independent renewal. However, when it came to actual implementation, the crowdfunding fee of 3,000 yuan per household was not easy to collect. At this time, the community Party branch and the building Party branch took action: 8 key Party members took the lead in paying the fees, and then the community service specialists, property management, and the owners' committee formed 3 groups to visit each household to understand the current situation and explain the situation. In just one month, the payment rate increased from 32% to 75%, reaching the conditions for commencement. Four months later, the renovation was successfully completed. A troublesome matter that had plagued residents for many years was finally resolved.
At present, Gongshu District (拱墅区) has completed the secondary water supply renovation of more than 120 communities, installed more than 1,500 elevators, updated more than 2,500 old elevators, and completed the rectification of all 64 fire high-risk communities.
In recent years, Gongshu District (拱墅区) has strengthened Party building leadership and made every effort to explore new models of grassroots democratic consultation to promote the high-quality development of the central urban area of super-large cities. "We have linked 32 functional departments involving community management responsibilities, such as housing construction, public security, and civil affairs, through grassroots Party organizations to explore a three-party collaborative governance model of communities, owners' committees, and property management, so that residents can have a say and be able to make decisions on people's livelihood issues." The relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Gongshu District (拱墅区委组织部) Committee said.
Return to TopSince the opening of the 15th National Games, exciting competitions have been ongoing in Guangdong (广东), Hong Kong (香港), and Macao (澳门), creating a vibrant atmosphere. On the field, athletes compete fiercely, and coaches provide meticulous guidance; off the field, staff and volunteers contribute silently and offer enthusiastic service. Everyone's participation and dedication write unique stories of the National Games, jointly painting a moving picture of the 15th National Games and igniting the vitality and passion of the Greater Bay Area.

Wu Di (吴迪), Coach of the Shanghai (上海) Tennis Team –
"The National Games Inspires Greater Energy"
Li Shuo (李硕), Our Reporter
"This is the fifth National Games I have participated in, and the first as a full-time head coach. Coming to the venue feels both familiar and strange," said Wu Di (吴迪), coach of the Shanghai (上海) tennis team. At this National Games, he not only has to arrange the lineup for the under-20 team event but also carefully arrange the training and preparation for the main player Zhang Zhizhen (张之臻). "Coaches also need to constantly learn and grow." Wu Di (吴迪) admitted that the new identity has brought him new motivation.
Wu Di (吴迪) once achieved three consecutive men's singles titles in the National Games tennis event. "The National Games singles gold medal I won at the age of 18 was a milestone for me." Wu Di (吴迪) said that he received more attention and support because of this, and gradually embarked on a professional path. In the 12th National Games, Wu Di (吴迪) partnered with 16-year-old Zhang Zhizhen (张之臻) to win the men's doubles gold medal, which also boosted Zhang Zhizhen's (张之臻) confidence when he participated in the National Games adult competition for the first time. "Unlike professional events where you represent yourself, the National Games, because you represent various regions, inspires greater energy," said Wu Di (吴迪).
In the 15th National Games, the tennis event established the under-20 team event for the first time. The Shanghai (上海) team stopped in the first round of the men's team and the second round of the women's team. Although the results were not ideal, in Wu Di's (吴迪) view, regardless of winning or losing, the National Games is a rare opportunity for young players to exercise, "They can observe up close how high-level players train and compete, which is also very meaningful."
Shanghai (上海) player Ge Lingyou (葛玲佑) once took a 5-0 lead in the deciding set in the second round of the women's team competition, but was eventually reversed by her opponent. While comforting his players, Wu Di (吴迪) also thought of his own experience of missing the gold medal in the National Games men's doubles final. "I hardly slept that night, but the next day I withstood the pressure and won the gold medal in the men's singles final. This extreme experience tempered my will," Wu Di (吴迪) recalled.
From player to coach, Wu Di (吴迪) is grateful that he has caught up with the good era of Chinese tennis. "Those dreams that I couldn't touch when I was a player are being realized one by one as a coach, which also motivates me to continue learning and hope to open up a broader future for Chinese tennis."
Duan Hua (段华), Staff Member of the Asian Games Basketball Hall of Guangzhou Sport University (广州体育学院) –
"We All Hope to Contribute"
Tao Xiang'an (陶相安), Our Reporter
As the last game in the venue ended, Duan Hua (段华), a staff member of the Asian Games Basketball Hall of Guangzhou Sport University (广州体育学院), also ended a busy day. "I am a teacher at the school, and it is especially kind to be able to participate in the 15th National Games at the school," said Duan Hua (段华).
The Asian Games Basketball Hall of Guangzhou Sport University (广州体育学院) is the venue for the under-20 men's volleyball and breaking competitions of the 15th National Games. Duan Hua (段华) is responsible for the publicity and media operations of these two events.
Duan Hua (段华) introduced that this venue, built for the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games (广州亚运会), once hosted basketball games, "I have worked here for more than ten years and have many unforgettable memories. I was the sports presentation manager back then, and various school activities are often held here. Everyone was very excited to learn that the National Games had projects settled on campus."
For this National Games, the school made careful preparations. Adhering to the concept of economical games, the venue was upgraded and renovated - the lighting system was renovated, high-definition electronic screens were added, professional sound reinforcement equipment was installed, and functional rooms were repaired. A series of measures rejuvenated the old venue.
"Seeing the familiar venue焕然一新 (huàn rán yī xīn - "completely new look," to take on a completely new appearance), we are full of energy." During the event, Duan Hua (段华) actively responded to various emergencies, and colleagues and students also widely participated in volunteer services, technical support, sports rehabilitation and other work. "As a sports institution of higher learning, we actively give play to our professional advantages." Duan Hua (段华) said that in this National Games, the school not only sent athletes and coaches, but also contributed to the event organization, cultural communication, artistic creation and other fields. "We all hope to contribute." Duan Hua (段华) said.
In her opinion, the significance of large-scale events goes far beyond facility updates. More than ten years ago, teachers and students focused more on the classroom; after the Asian Games, everyone began to actively participate in sports practice. "This is a vivid practical lesson." Duan Hua (段华) believes that through the National Games, teachers and students will more deeply appreciate the diverse value of sports in education and cultural integration.
Zhang Jihong (张继红), Hong Kong (香港) Volunteer –
"The National Games Brings Everyone Closer"
Wang Liang (王亮), Our Reporter
The under-22 men's basketball event of the 15th National Games is in full swing at the Hong Kong Coliseum (香港体育馆). Walking out of the Hung Hom (红磡) MTR station adjacent to the venue, volunteers in turquoise green clothing can be seen everywhere. Zhang Jihong (张继红), 60, is one of them. Holding an eye-catching sign, she enthusiastically "guards" the intersection she is responsible for, providing guidance services to the audience.
Zhang Jihong (张继红), with her short hair, speaks gently and elegantly. She used to be an accountant and just retired this year. After seeing the recruitment advertisement for National Games volunteers, she signed up without hesitation. "This is a rare opportunity to jointly host the National Games in three places, and I must participate," said Zhang Jihong (张继红).
Zhang Jihong (张继红) cherishes the three days of volunteer service. In her opinion, being a volunteer is a professional job. After successfully being selected, she received systematic training including etiquette norms and venue guidance. "The content is still quite complicated. For example, we have to remind the audience to prohibit carrying some items, and pay special attention to the safety of athletes' sports equipment when receiving them," said Zhang Jihong (张继红).
Like Zhang Jihong (张继红), many Hong Kong (香港) citizens are highly concerned about the 15th National Games and hope to contribute. She mentioned that a friend complained that she did not sign up with her after learning that she had become a volunteer.
Zhang Jihong (张继红) herself is also a sports enthusiast and loves volleyball the most. In recent years, Hong Kong's (香港) competitive sports have made significant progress, winning two gold medals at the Paris Olympics, which has deeply touched her: "Hong Kong (香港) is paying more and more attention to sports, and more and more outstanding athletes are emerging."
In her opinion, "The National Games brings everyone closer." Over the years, she has witnessed the increasingly close exchanges between Hong Kong (香港) and the mainland, "Many friends often go to Zhuhai (珠海) for concerts." She looks forward to more large-scale cross-border events landing in Hong Kong (香港) in the future.
Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴), Athlete of the Macao (澳门) Table Tennis Team –
"Let More Young People Feel the Charm of Sports"
Sun Longfei (孙龙飞), Our Reporter
"Hearing the Cantonese (粤语) cheering, I feel very kind and the competition is more motivated," said Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴), an athlete of the Macao (澳门) table tennis team. He is very excited and at ease to be able to participate in the competition "at his doorstep."
The joint hosting of the 15th National Games by Guangdong (广东), Hong Kong (香港), and Macao (澳门) provides the Macao (澳门) table tennis team with the opportunity to compete with mainland players. In the men's singles 1/16 final, although Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴) lost to Xue Fei (薛飞), a player from the Hubei (湖北) team, this game made him gain a lot.
"The opponent is very strong, I can only拼 (pīn - "fight," to struggle) for every point." Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴) said that the opponent's performance put pressure on him, but he patiently looked for opportunities and finally won a game, and also won applause. "The competition in the National Games is even more intense than international competitions. The details of the opponent's handling of the ball and the grasp of the mentality are worth learning," said Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴).
Although he is a high school student, Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴) has already emerged in the Macao (澳门) table tennis world. In 2023, he represented the Chinese Macao (中国澳门) team in the Hangzhou Asian Games (杭州亚运会). Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴) is very proud to participate in this National Games: "My family and friends are very supportive of me. They didn't buy tickets, so they watched my game on TV at home."
In recent years, many international table tennis events have been held in Macao (澳门), and the world's top players have gathered on the coast of Haojiang (濠江之畔). The new venues and good competition environment have made Macao (澳门) frequently receive praise, and the local table tennis atmosphere has become increasingly strong.
In this National Games, Zhu Yuling (朱雨玲), a former national team player and world champion, represented the Macao (澳门) table tennis team. "Training with the world champion is very helpful for me to improve my skills," said Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴).
Next year, Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴) will graduate from high school and embark on a new journey in life, and table tennis will still be an important part of his life. "I hope to continue to represent Chinese Macao (中国澳门) in more international events and let more young people feel the charm of sports," said Zheng Kongwai (郑孔崴).

The innovative highlights of the event and the outstanding performance of the athletes have sown the seeds of striving and strength in the hearts of millions of viewers.
Since the start of the swimming events at the 15th National Games (全国运动会), new records have been continuously set: Zhang Zhanshuo (张展硕), a young player from the Shandong Team (山东队), first rewrote the world youth record in the men's 400-meter freestyle final, and then created a new national youth record in the men's 200-meter freestyle final; Yu Zidi (于子迪), a young player from the Hebei Team (河北队), made a splash by breaking the Asian record that had been sealed for 13 years in the women's 200-meter individual medley final. The two young players brought the enjoyment of strength and beauty to the National Games audience with their amazing performances.
Not fearing strong opponents and daring to compete for victory is the ambition that athletes should have. Niu Qisong (牛琪松), a shooting rookie from the Hebei Team (河北队), stood on the National Games stage for the first time and defeated a group of famous players in the men's 10-meter air pistol final. "Winning the gold medal was a bit of a surprise, but the goal of each of us in preparing for the competition was to win the championship," Niu Qisong's words revealed the confidence and ambition of young athletes.
Breakthroughs rely on the **初生牛犊不怕虎** (chū shēng niú dú bù pà hǔ - "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers," young people are fearless and full of vigor) spirit of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, as well as the perseverance of **滴水穿石** (dī shuǐ chuān shí - "dripping water pierces stone," constant effort brings success) and continuous effort. The Sichuan Artistic Gymnastics Team (四川艺术体操队) won its first National Games gold medal in the team all-around with its unique Sichuan-style choreography and stable performance, which is the result of thirty-seven years of hard work by generations of the team.
Breakthroughs come from the courage to constantly overcome oneself and challenge failure. Hubei (湖北) diver Wang Zongyuan (王宗源) won the men's 3-meter springboard championship with a lead of nearly 40 points over the second place. He admitted that after experiencing the low point of losing the Paris Olympic Games (巴黎奥运会), it was the preparation and training for the National Games that allowed him to regain a peaceful state of mind and achieve the recovery and improvement of his competitive state.
Every breakthrough on the field not only freezes the wonderful moments of athletes' tenacious struggle, but also vividly illustrates the emergence of talented people in Chinese competitive sports. At the National Games, many athletes lamented that "winning a national championship is even more difficult than winning an Olympic championship." But it is this fierce competition between the old and the new, and the constant pursuit of each other, that constantly raises the baseline of Chinese competitive sports and promotes the advancement of various projects to the peak.
The National Games adds color to the Greater Bay Area (大湾区). The innovative highlights of the event and the outstanding performance of the athletes have sown the seeds of striving and strength in the hearts of millions of viewers. The subtle influence of this power transforms the spirit of sports into a force that inspires progress, and its significance has far exceeded the arena itself.
Return to TopOn November 12th, the 15th National Games (全国运动会) produced its first gold medal in gymnastics. Many viewers watching a gymnastics competition for the first time are curious: Why do gymnasts rub powder on their bodies before taking the stage?
The powder they rub is called magnesium powder, and its chemical composition is magnesium carbonate, which has the physical property of being insoluble in water. Because athletes have to complete a set of movements on many pieces of equipment, rubbing magnesium powder in advance helps absorb sweat produced during exercise and increases the friction between the athlete and the equipment.
There is also a trick to where it is rubbed. In addition to the hands and feet, athletes also apply it to the parts where the hands come into contact with the torso in order to complete certain technical movements. In addition, athletes also rub magnesium powder on competition equipment, such as the horizontal bar, parallel bars, rings, and pommel horse. Some even apply it to the vault runway to ensure stability upon contact.
After completing a series of pre-match preparations, the athlete will stand at the starting position of the event and wait. The referee raises a hand to signal to the athlete, asking if they are ready to start the competition. If the athlete is ready, they will raise a hand to signal, and then the competition begins.

On the morning of November 12th, the 15th National Games 20km race walk competition was held in Jinwan District (金湾区), Zhuhai (珠海), Guangdong (广东).
"I received a notice yesterday that there would be headwinds during the race, which would be more difficult." Zhang Jun (张俊), a famous player from the Yunnan Team (云南队), adjusted his tactics in time according to the weather conditions, and finally crossed the finish line first, winning the gold medal in the men's 20km race walk with an advantage of 1 second, successfully defending his title.
The women's 20km race walk competition was held after the men's event. For Yang Jiayu (杨家玉), the Paris Olympic champion, she is already accustomed to moving forward against the wind. Just over halfway through the race, Yang Jiayu (杨家玉), representing the Beijing Team (北京队), began to accelerate and stood out from the leading group. Entering the last 4 kilometers, she was more than 10 seconds ahead of the second place. As the final lap bell rang, Yang Jiayu (杨家玉) threw off the cooling bag wrapped around her neck and strode towards the finish line.
1 hour, 27 minutes, and 34 seconds! Yang Jiayu (杨家玉) won the gold medal in the National Games women's 20km race walk for the third time, becoming the first athlete in the history of the National Games to achieve a three-peat in this event.
"It's been quite difficult along the way." Moving forward against the wind is actually a true reflection of Yang Jiayu's (杨家玉) season. Even the day before the competition, her physical condition was still not ideal. After winning the Paris Olympics, long-term injuries led to Yang Jiayu (杨家玉) being physically and mentally exhausted, and her training status was not good. After fully communicating with her coach, she decided to return to China (中国) to adjust.
"Return to the starting point, forget the past, train hard, and be yourself." In September of this year, Yang Jiayu (杨家玉) obtained a wild card for the Tokyo World Championships and eventually finished sixth. This result also gave her more confidence and ultimately allowed her to achieve good results again at the National Games.
"Race walking has never just taught me to move forward, but also how to walk every step of life with dignity and love." After the game, Yang Jiayu (杨家玉) revealed her feelings on social media. Since winning the London World Championships in 2017, Yang Jiayu's (杨家玉) resume has been full of honors, including Olympic champion, World Championship champion, and two consecutive Asian Games titles... And this experience of moving forward against the wind will undoubtedly make her even stronger.
Return to TopGuangzhou, November 12th (Reported by Ji Fang (季芳), reporter of this newspaper, and Yang Lei (杨磊), reporter of People's Daily Online) Since the opening of the 15th National Games, all competitive events have been in full swing, and mass sports events have entered the final stage, with various events being promoted in an orderly manner. The relevant person in charge of the Mass Sports Department of the State General Administration of Sport (国家体育总局群众体育司) said in a recent interview that the mass sports finals are expected to exceed 3,000 games, with 11,000 athletes participating.
It is reported that the 15th National Games mass sports events include 23 major events and 166 minor events, divided into competition and exhibition categories. Up to now, all preliminary rounds of mass sports events have ended, with a total of 6,819 events held and more than 16,000 athletes participating. The finals of 20 major events and 148 minor events of the mass sports events have been completed, and the finals of minor events such as dragon and lion dance, tennis, and basketball's three-on-three basketball are about to begin.
The person in charge introduced that the athletes in the 15th National Games mass sports events cover students, workers, farmers and herdsmen, teachers, doctors, nurses, police, self-employed individuals, freelancers, retirees and other groups, including nearly 20 ethnic groups. The oldest participant is 81 years old, and the youngest is 8 years old.
"The 15th National Games mass sports events embody the characteristics of participation by all," said the person in charge. A total of 71,000 "I want to go to the National Games" events have been held in various places, attracting more than one million participants, creating a strong atmosphere of "National Games for all, National Games benefiting the people." At the same time, mass sports events "enter scenic spots, enter blocks, and enter business districts." For example, the orienteering event will set the finals in the lychee garden in Maoming (茂名), Guangdong (广东), and the freestyle roller skating preliminaries will be held on Nanjing Road (南京路) in Shanghai (上海).

On October 15, 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), during his inspection in Fujian (福建), praised Comrade Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) as "a representative of the thousands upon thousands of outstanding leading cadres of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党)," and profoundly pointed out: "When we learn from his deeds, we should not only admire him, but also learn from the virtuous, and be like him in how we conduct ourselves and govern, ‘serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area,’ only by following this path is it the right path in the world." Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized during his inspection in Guangdong (广东): "We must grasp the decisive factor of cadres, select and equip leading bodies with the best, and build a cadre team that is strong in Party spirit, broad in vision, good at innovation, and pragmatic." General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important speech pointed out the direction for all Party members and cadres in how to conduct themselves and govern. This right path in the world concentrates and demonstrates our Party's original aspiration and mission, fundamental purpose, and fine traditions, and is an important guideline for Chinese Communists to perform their duties. Only by deeply understanding and resolutely following and practicing this right path in the world can the vast number of Party members and cadres stand firm and strengthen their fighting spirit in complex and severe struggles, maintain their true colors and forge ahead in the face of storms, and continuously create new achievements worthy of history, the times, and the people.
Walking well the right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" contains the dialectical unity of theoretical logic, cultural logic, historical logic, and the logic of the times.
"Serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" is not only the simple expectation of the masses for cadres, but also the goal that cadres should pursue. These short eight characters contain both a view of political achievements that benefits the people and a deep and simple feeling for the people. Walking well the right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" has its profound meaning rooted in the organic connection and systematic integration of the four logics of theory, culture, history, and the times.
The Marxist view of the masses is the theoretical foundation for walking well this right path in the world. The right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" is essentially a scientific application and profound interpretation of the Marxist view of the masses in governance practice. It scientifically answers the fundamental question of "for whom to govern, for whom to use power, and for whom to seek benefits," and transforms the core view of historical materialism that "the people are the creators of history" into the practical requirements and value criteria for Party members and cadres to "benefit the people." Walking well this right path in the world requires the vast number of cadres to stand firm on the people's position, take embodying the people's will, safeguarding the people's interests, and enhancing the people's well-being as the starting point and end result of all work, and transform the "people's principal position" from theoretical principles into vivid practice in practical work.
The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the cultural source for walking well this right path in the world. The excellent traditional Chinese culture contains rich ideas of people-oriented governance such as "the people are the most important, the state comes next, and the ruler is the least important" and "the way to govern is to follow the people's hearts and enrich their lives." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) told the story of Feng Menglong (冯梦龙) of the Ming Dynasty (明代). Feng Menglong (冯梦龙) went to Shouning (寿宁) in Fujian (福建) to serve as a county magistrate, and went through hardships, taking half a year just to take office. During his term, he left behind a good name of "simple administration and clear punishment, prioritizing literature, treating the people with kindness, and treating scholars with courtesy." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) lamented: "A talented county magistrate in the feudal era went through so much hardship to get there, are we Communists not as good as an official in the feudal era?" The Chinese Communists critically inherited the official ethics of "diligently governing and loving the people" in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, combined it with the Marxist view of the masses, and established the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. It is under the guidance of this fundamental purpose that the right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" has been able to transcend the moral exhortations in traditional culture and be elevated to a quantifiable, practical, and sustainable modern governance concept and governance requirement.
Practicing the Party's original aspiration and mission is the historical consciousness of walking well this right path in the world. Looking back on the journey of more than a hundred years, from leading farmers to "fight local tyrants and divide the land" and liberate the vast number of farmers during the revolutionary period, to taking the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of all-out struggle in the new era, the value pursuit of "benefiting the people" has been consistent and runs through all historical stages of the Party's leadership of the people in revolution, construction, and reform. In the new era, the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) has taken poverty alleviation as the bottom-line task for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and thousands upon thousands of Party members and cadres have taken root in the front line and devoted themselves to solving the problem of absolute poverty historically, promoting major progress in the construction of various fields of people's livelihood, and raising this right path in the world to an unprecedented practical height, demonstrating the unwavering value adherence and mission commitment of the century-old major party.
Promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the nation is the call of the times for walking well this right path in the world. Promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the nation is the glorious mission entrusted to the Chinese Communists by the times. Walking well the right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" is an inevitable requirement for the vast number of Party members and cadres to cope with new challenges and fulfill their duties and missions, and it demonstrates significant practical guiding significance in the great practice of building a socialist modern country in all respects. At present, China (中国) is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the tasks of reform, development, and stability are arduous and heavy. This requires the vast number of Party members and cadres to have the "big picture of the country" in mind, firmly establish and practice the correct view of political achievements, and promote high-quality development and promote common prosperity with the realm of "achieving success does not necessarily require me, but achieving success definitely requires me," so that the fruits of development can benefit all the people more and more fairly, and gather the deepest popular support for national rejuvenation in "benefiting one area."
To walk well the right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area," the key is to have the Party in mind, the people in mind, responsibility in mind, and discipline in mind.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that "having the Party in mind, the people in mind, responsibility in mind, and discipline in mind" is an important requirement for Party members and cadres to "rectify their hearts." Only by truly internalizing this requirement in the heart and externalizing it in action can we have firm beliefs and solid actions, and walk steadily and well this right path in the world that carries the original aspiration and benefits the people.
Having the Party in mind allows the character of loyalty to become the spiritual beacon guiding the right path in the world. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) profoundly pointed out: "Loyalty to the Party is the primary political quality of Communists." This important conclusion clarifies the essential requirements of "having the Party in mind" from the height of the law of Marxist party building. Loyalty to the Party is not an abstract concept, but a concrete understanding and action, running through all aspects of Party members and cadres' work and life; it is not a temporary statement, but a lifelong political adherence. Loyalty to the Party is embodied in Liu Hulan's (刘胡兰) awe-inspiring declaration of "I am not afraid of death, I will not be a Communist" in the face of the enemy's guillotine, and it is also embodied in Gu Wenchang's (谷文昌) silent dedication to leading the masses to build reservoirs and promote production even when he was in adversity and sent down to work. Party members and cadres in the new era must take role models as a mirror, cast loyalty to the Party into their souls, and let the character of loyalty become the spiritual beacon guiding the right path in the world. Conversely, if one betrays the Party organization, it will inevitably lead to political degeneration, deviation from the right path, and abuse of public power for personal gain, making the power in one's hands a "crooked way" for seeking personal gain.
Having the people in mind paves the way for the right path in the world in practicing the Party's fundamental purpose. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that "our Party comes from the people, is rooted in the people, and serves the people," which profoundly reveals the foundation of the Party's governance from the height of historical materialism, and marks the fundamental value coordinates for Party members and cadres to walk well the right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area." Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) "had all the people in his heart, but not himself," and devoted himself to changing the face of Lankao (兰考); Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) took "not engaging in revolution with selfishness, wholeheartedly serving the people" as his creed, and turned the barren island into an oasis in the East China Sea. These deeds vividly interpret the simple and profound truth that "the people's hearts are the greatest politics," and also tell us that the depth of the masses' feelings for cadres in a place mainly depends not on the length of working hours, but on whether they can "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" and do more practical things for the local people. Party members and cadres in the new era must always take the needs of the masses as the work orientation and the satisfaction of the people as the highest standard, transform the heavy burden of "serving as an official for a term" into the practical results of "benefiting one area," and consolidate the foundation of governance and pave the way for the right path in the world in practicing the Party's fundamental purpose.
Having responsibility in mind uses responsibility to draw the bottom line of people's livelihood on the right path in the world. "Benefiting one area" is concrete and real, mainly reflected in solving the problems of reform and development, solving the urgent difficulties and anxieties of people's livelihood, and accomplishing practical things that the people can feel and reach. It is a shame for an official to avoid things. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Cadres must have responsibility. How much responsibility you have determines how much career you can do, and how much responsibility you fulfill determines how much achievement you will have." This profoundly reveals that taking responsibility is the political nature of Communists. Gao Derong (高德荣) has long been stationed on the banks of the Dulong River (独龙江), where conditions are difficult, leading the villagers to change the closed, poor, and backward appearance of their hometown; Liao Junbo (廖俊波), wherever he went, always personally implemented the Party's policies in the grassroots and among the masses, and always injected new vitality into the development of a place... They all interpreted extraordinary responsibility in their respective positions. Party members and cadres in the new era must base themselves on their own positions, dare to face contradictions and risks directly, have the spirit of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, be able to stand out and top them at critical moments, and truly become the mainstays leading the people to seek development, fight risks, and overcome difficulties.
Having discipline in mind allows one to do things cleanly and walk steadily on the right path in the world. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Integrity and self-discipline are the bottom line for Communists to be officials and engage in politics." This profoundly reveals that integrity is the political gene integrated into the blood of Communists, and it is the bottom line and guarantee for walking well the right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area." Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) drafted "Ten Prohibitions for Cadres," was strict with himself and strict with his family, and never engaged in special treatment; Gu Wenchang (谷文昌), who said "leaders must first wash their hands clean and straighten their backs," strictly refused his relatives to engage in special treatment, and only took away the casuarina seedlings he bought when he was transferred. Their deeds fully demonstrate the noble character of Communists who are "as bright as the sun and the moon, and as clear as a mirror." Party members and cadres in the new era must always have a heart of awe and a mind of self-discipline, pass the tests of power, money, and human relations well, and let discipline and rules become a solid dam against temptation, so that they can be both clean and capable, and walk steadily and far on the right path in the world.
Walking well the right path in the world of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" means being a doer and a pragmatist in the process of Chinese-style modernization.
Chinese-style modernization is a grand practice of hundreds of millions of people working together, and its process is formed by the convergence of countless solid actions of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area." Every Party member and cadre must base themselves on their own positions and transform the value pursuit of "benefiting the people" on this right path in the world into powerful measures to solve development problems and practical results to promote the progress of the cause, so as to inject a continuous stream of power into Chinese-style modernization.
Using political leadership to calibrate the direction of modernization. The most fundamental thing in walking well the right path in the world is to adhere to the Party's comprehensive leadership and transform the Party's political and organizational advantages into development advantages, so as to ensure that modernization construction is always based on China's (中国) national conditions and responds to the needs of the people. Party members and cadres in the new era should take outstanding examples such as Gu Wenchang (谷文昌) as role models and integrate "having the Party in mind" into their spiritual blood. On the one hand, we must continue to improve our political stance, take studying and understanding Xi Jinping's (习近平) Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as a lifelong topic, enhance the "four consciousnesses," strengthen the "four self-confidences," and achieve the "two safeguards," and always maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) as the core. On the other hand, we must improve our political ability, be good at looking at problems, making decisions, and implementing them from a political perspective, and truly transform the Party Central Committee's decisions and deployments into practical actions to serve the masses and promote development, and strive to be the first in the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
Using the correct view of political achievements to consolidate the foundation of modernization. Promoting Chinese-style modernization requires generations of Party members and cadres to "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" with long-term efforts and continuous struggle. The vast number of Party members and cadres must deeply grasp the core meaning of the correct view of political achievements. To establish and practice the correct view of political achievements, we must not only anchor the goals of modernization construction without deviating, and continue to exert efforts with the perseverance of "**咬定青山不放松**" (yǎo dìng qīng shān bù fàng sōng - "bite the green hills and not relax," to persevere despite setbacks), to ensure that the direction does not deviate and the enthusiasm does not slacken; but also focus on solving the bottlenecks of development problems, and solve contradictions with the patience and perseverance of "dripping water penetrates stone," and resolutely guard against impetuousness and recklessness, and eagerness for quick success and instant benefits. We should shoulder our responsibilities with the persistence of "doing one term after another" and implement them with the responsibility of "running one relay after another," so that every work is done deeply, solidly, meticulously, and thoroughly, and policies are implemented with sound effects and benefits are brought to people's livelihood. Only in this way can we write excellent answers that can stand the test of history and the people in the process of promoting Chinese-style modernization.
Using the temperature of people's livelihood to test the color of modernization. People's livelihood is the foundation of people's happiness and the foundation of social harmony. The color of modernization ultimately depends on the temperature of people's livelihood. In recent years, Zhangzhou City (漳州市) has taken the demands of the masses as the pursuit of its work, and strived to make up for the shortcomings of "six people's livelihood positions" such as employment positions, childcare positions, student places, medical and elderly care beds, community dining places, and life-ending park places, and through the implementation of specific measures such as the "Yuanshan Plan (圆山计划)" for famous doctors to enter Zhangzhou (漳州), improving the quality of rural happiness homes, establishing happiness restaurants, and building life parks, the responsibility and mission of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" is refined into a tangible and accessible temperature of people's livelihood. Party members and cadres must always put the people in the highest position in their hearts, take the initiative to walk out of the office and go deep into the grassroots, into the fields and villages, and community courtyards, sit on a bench with the masses and chat about their daily lives, accurately listen to the voices of the masses, and understand the demands of the masses. We should anchor the interests of the masses in policy formulation, so that decisions are more in line with the people's hearts; we should respond to the expectations of the masses in project promotion, so that implementation is warmer, and truly treat the "small things of the masses" as "big things in our hearts." With a sense of responsibility of "**时时放心不下**" (shí shí fàng xīn bù xià - "never feeling completely at ease," always concerned), we should wholeheartedly solve the worrying, annoying, and distressing things around the masses, so that people's livelihood and well-being can be seen, touched, and felt.
Using practical work and achievements to shoulder the mission of modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Promoting Chinese-style modernization is a brand-new cause, and we will inevitably encounter various contradictions and risks and challenges on the road ahead." At present, the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period. We must transform the development blueprint into a beautiful reality with stronger responsibility, harder work style, and more practical measures. In recent years, Zhangzhou City (漳州市) has taken a series of 100-billion-level project constructions as the leader, focusing on building the "three heads and six arms" ("oil head, grain head, steel head" three major industrial leaders and "olefin-plastic, aromatic hydrocarbon-polyester, bulk food, high-end food, precision steel, special steel" six industrial chains) pillar industries, "Hualong One (华龙一号)" nuclear power base - Zhangzhou (漳州) Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 put into commercial operation, Gulei (古雷) refining and chemical integration project phase II and Sino-Saudi Gulei (中沙古雷) ethylene project accelerated... Zhangzhou's (漳州) development has opened up new space and shown a new look. Facing new situations and new tasks, Party members and cadres must integrate the original aspiration of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" into their job responsibilities, transform the requirements for promoting high-quality development into concrete actions, and take the lead and set an example in further comprehensively deepening reform and expanding high-level opening up, plan new strategies and explore new paths in promoting the modernization of urban governance, and do practical things and seek practical results in guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood, and truly shoulder the historical mission of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization.
Using iron rules and iron discipline to safeguard the modernization process. Strict discipline is an important guarantee for walking steadily on the right path in the world. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "The Party's discipline and the cause of starting a business are inherently unified. Discipline not only clarifies the bottom line and boundaries that cannot be touched, but also provides action guidelines for Party members and cadres to do things cleanly and boldly." Promoting Chinese-style modernization requires a high-quality cadre team that is loyal, clean, and responsible. In recent years, Zhangzhou City (漳州市) has organized and carried out the activity of "remembering the entrustment to learn from Gu Gong (谷公), and being a pioneer in benefiting the people." Consolidating the learning and education results of deeply implementing the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation (中央八项规定), promoting the normalization and long-term mechanism of work style construction, and providing a strong guarantee for further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization, requires the vast number of Party members and cadres to always consciously strictly abide by the Party's discipline and rules, be honest and upright, do things cleanly, and maintain the political character of being clean and honest forever. We must continue to optimize the political ecology, resolutely resist unhealthy trends and evil practices, and build a solid work style guarantee of "serve as an official for a term, benefit the people in one area" with strict discipline and solid work style, so as to provide a solid support for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the nation with Chinese-style modernization.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Leading cadres at all levels must establish a correct view of power, performance, and career, not admiring vanity, not pursuing empty achievements, and not seeking false fame, and truly achieve benefiting one party while in office." As the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core continues to intensify its efforts to rectify formalism and bureaucracy, the vast number of party members and cadres can let go and move forward lightly, focusing their main time and energy on solving problems and doing practical things for the masses. At the same time, in some places and departments, some people regard the office platform as a "stage," putting on a false show in their work and keen on engaging in "performance-style busyness." This not only damages the image of the Party in the hearts of the people, but also delays opportunities for reform and development. Chinese Communists must be pragmatists. On the new journey, only by being pragmatic and seeking practical results can we safeguard our original aspirations, shoulder our mission, and create achievements that can withstand the test of history and the people.
Those who are keen on engaging in "performance-style busyness" seem to roll up their sleeves and shout slogans frequently, but in reality, they are always busy on the surface, and in the end, they do not do much hard work or solve many difficult and practical problems. Such people usually carefully manage their "busy" persona. For example, they always appear to be working overtime in their WeChat Moments, but in their actual work, they are picky and afraid of hard work. They are keen on engaging in "scenic-style research" and "posed-style visits," smiling and holding hands with the masses in front of the camera, but after taking pictures, they rush into the car to rush to the next spot to "check in." When faced with inspections and research from superiors, they do not talk about work and problems in a down-to-earth manner, but instead spend their time on welcoming and sending off. The reporting materials they prepare are thick, and the exhibition boards and PPTs are dazzling, but the content is either full of 穿靴戴帽 (chuān xuē dài mào - "wearing boots and hats," verbose and empty rhetoric) and meaningless, or they are whitewashing themselves... This kind of flashy style not only wastes administrative resources, but also erodes the enthusiasm of hard workers and hinders the progress of pragmatists, and it will also make the working atmosphere and political ecology chaotic.
Although the phenomenon of "performance-style busyness" is diverse in content and form, what cannot be changed or concealed is the formalistic essence of inconsistency between words and deeds, exaggeration, and fraud. Those who are good at engaging in "performance-style busyness" think they are clever, but in reality, they are deceiving themselves. The masses have the most accurate scale in their hearts to measure whether a cadre is working hard and practically. No matter how long the report card is or how thick the book of merits is, it does not count if the masses are not satisfied or do not recognize it.
The emergence of the "performance-style busyness" phenomenon is due to many factors, both subjective and objective. Some are deliberately done because of deviations in the performance view of party members and cadres, mistakenly believing that "invisible hard work is not as good as visible performance." Such people do not work for the satisfaction of the masses, but for the attention of the leaders. Some are forced to do so because of the lack of a strong sense of struggle and a lack of a spirit of responsibility among party members and cadres. When faced with formalism, they are unwilling to expose it immediately or criticize it face to face, but instead take care of face and are afraid of hurting harmony, lending a hand and acting as an audience when others "perform." There are also individual places and departments where the cadre assessment and evaluation mechanism is not scientific and reasonable enough, paying more attention to the "visible indicators" on the surface and not enough attention to the hard work and dedication of cadres who work silently and diligently.
To correct the formalistic style of "performance-style busyness," we need to cultivate both internally and externally, govern systematically, and implement comprehensive measures. On the one hand, the vast number of party members and cadres must establish a correct view of performance, think more about what difficult problems they have actually solved for the masses, resolutely eliminate the practice of implementing slogans, statements, and packaging, eradicate the "performance mentality" from the ideological level, eliminate the "performance state" in action, and invest their main time and energy in truly solving problems, truly promoting development, and truly serving the masses. On the other hand, we must focus on establishing and improving the cadre assessment and evaluation mechanism, so that what is written on paper truly reflects what is done in practice, and that work performance and public reputation truly become hard indicators for examining cadres, so that "performance" cadres who are inconsistent, fraudulent, and put on a show have no market, and that "old scalper" cadres who are down-to-earth, pragmatic, and recognized by the masses stand out, clearly establishing a talent selection and employment orientation that speaks with actual results and uses practical things to speak, and encouraging the vast number of party members and cadres to work hard and practically to create a new world and accomplish a great cause.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Our party, as a Marxist ruling party, must not only have a strong power of truth, but also a strong power of personality. The power of truth is centrally embodied in the correct theory of our party, and the power of personality is centrally embodied in the fine work style of our party." The unity of the power of truth and the power of personality is a distinct characteristic of a Marxist party, and it is also the magic weapon for our party to overcome obstacles, move forward courageously, and constantly move from victory to new victories. On the new journey, we must scientifically grasp and always realize the organic unity of the power of truth and the power of personality, so as to provide ideological strength and inject spiritual impetus for striving to create a new situation in the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
The power of truth is the persuasiveness and influence of scientific theories that conform to objective laws and reflect the essence of things, and can provide correct guidance for people to understand the world and transform the world. The power of personality is the spiritual appeal and exemplary role demonstrated by people in terms of ideological quality, moral character, and behavior style. For the construction and development of the Communist Party of China, it is crucial to realize the organic unity of the power of truth and the power of personality. The power of truth is the foundation of the power of personality, providing communists with firm beliefs and correct action guidelines. The power of personality is the external manifestation of the power of truth. Communists practice the party's theory through their own practical actions, making the power of truth more persuasive and appealing. Engels said when evaluating Marx: "He may have had many enemies, but he may not have had a single personal enemy." Marx devoted his life to the struggle for the liberation of all mankind, and his noble personality made Marxism always shine with the light of truth, and won the support of the broad working class and working people. The power of truth and the power of personality are dialectically unified and complement each other. Xia Minghan (夏明翰) heroically sacrificed himself for the truth with the integrity of a firm communist, and wrote the heroic poem "It doesn't matter if you cut off my head, as long as the doctrine is true"; Chen Wangdao (陈望道) bravely became the "sower" of the seeds of truth, and mistakenly ate ink as brown sugar when translating "The Communist Manifesto", leaving behind the beautiful story of "the taste of truth is very sweet"; Qian Xuesen (钱学森) wrote a brilliant chapter of "Two Bombs and One Star" with the sincerity of "My career is in China, my achievements are in China, and my home is in China"... Our party has experienced countless difficulties and obstacles along the way, but it has not been crushed or defeated, and has always forged ahead courageously, relying on the guidance of scientific truth and the unwavering beliefs and solid and pragmatic work style of thousands of party members.
Paying attention to building the party ideologically and strengthening the party theoretically is a distinct characteristic and glorious tradition of our party. Since the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has adhered to the Marxist stand, viewpoint, and method, closely combined with the conditions of the times and practical requirements to promote theoretical innovation and creation, profoundly answered the questions of China, the world, the people, and the times, and created Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, realizing a new leap in the Sinicization of Marxism in the new era, demonstrating a strong power of truth. Starting with improving work style to promote comprehensive and strict party governance is an important experience of the party's self-revolution in the new era. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core started by formulating and implementing the Central Eight-Point Regulation, and used the act of moving a tree to establish trust to promote a new look in party conduct and government conduct, and the social atmosphere and public customs continued to improve. In order to win the battle against poverty, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) went to the grassroots level more than 50 times to investigate poverty alleviation work, traveled to 14 contiguous and extremely poor areas across the country, put forward targeted poverty alleviation on the basis of investigation and research, and used it to guide practice, setting a brilliant example of the organic unity of the power of truth and the power of personality for the whole party. The reason why our party can call on the people, gather strength, and constantly write new historical chapters of Chinese-style modernization is not only contained in the powerful power of truth, but also embodied in the noble power of personality. In the battle against poverty, we adhered to the people-centered development thought, adhered to targeted poverty alleviation, and millions of poverty alleviation cadres devoted themselves and worked hard to complete the arduous task of eliminating absolute poverty and create a historical miracle. Under the guidance of the new development concept, from industrial development to technological innovation, from serving people's livelihood to rural revitalization, the vast number of party members and cadres have been forging ahead and taking responsibility in solving problems and promoting development, and have continuously achieved new results in promoting high-quality development. Practice tells us that only by letting the truth take root in personality and letting personality sublimate in truth can we form a powerful force in the mutual promotion of the two and promote the steady and long-term development of the party and the country.
Currently, China is in a critical period of comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and reform and development are in an important stage of tackling tough problems. On the road ahead, we still need to cross "snow-capped mountains and grasslands" and overcome "Lou Mountain Pass (娄山关)" and "Lazikou (腊子口)". The more we overcome difficulties, the more we must adhere to the truth and temper our work style. As the world's largest Marxist ruling party, the advanced nature of our party is first reflected in the advanced nature of its ideology and theory. The vast number of party members and cadres must, with a high degree of theoretical consciousness, profoundly grasp the scientific system and essence of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, master and apply the world view and methodology of this important thought, and consciously practice the practical requirements of the party's innovative theory on firmly adhering to ideals and beliefs without wavering, continuously improving the realm of thought without stopping, and strengthening party spirit training without slackening, both unswervingly adhering to the truth and practicing the truth, and paying attention to carrying forward the fine work style and demonstrating the power of personality. Starting from what we are doing, we will work together in maintaining our true colors, overcome difficulties in unity of purpose, and continuously promote new progress and breakthroughs in Chinese-style modernization in the organic unity of the power of truth and the power of personality, so as to add glory to the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.

Straws, popsicle sticks, spliced chopsticks, knives, forks, and spoons... In Chizhou (池州), Anhui (安徽) Province, these everyday disposable tableware items can largely be made from moso bamboo.
Inside a bamboo product company's workshop in Chizhou High-Tech Zone (池州高新区), processing equipment, sorting equipment, and polishing machines hum, as intelligent production lines continuously "spit out" bamboo straws, with a daily output of 5 million pieces. Each year, 2 billion bamboo straws depart from here, selling to over 40 countries and regions, which can reduce the use of 6,000 tons of plastic and cut emissions by 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
"Bamboo straws don't soften easily, are not prone to damage, and are renewable and biodegradable. Producing a small straw seems simple, but it actually requires overcoming multiple challenges," said Yin Mingliang (殷明亮), the company's head. Issues such as insufficient anti-mold and antibacterial properties, weak heat resistance, and high production costs were problems. Seeing the market prospects of "replacing plastic with bamboo," the company successively hired three doctoral teams to develop production equipment, but none were able to break through the bottlenecks. In 2017, a fourth doctoral team moved in, and after three years, they finally solved the technical problems and increased the production speed of each machine to 2,000 pieces per hour, reducing the cost of a single bamboo straw to 0.04 yuan, basically on par with plastic straws.
"We have developed a complete set of equipment for the pyrolysis of all-bamboo resources, which can convert bamboo shavings and waste into high value-added products such as activated carbon and hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries, and the steam generated during pyrolysis can also be utilized," Yin Mingliang (殷明亮) explained.
Chizhou (池州) has over 600,000 mu of bamboo forests, and in the past, large swathes of moso bamboo could not be effectively utilized. In recent years, Chizhou (池州) has introduced a three-year action plan to accelerate the development of "replacing plastic with bamboo," extending the value chain of bamboo forests and increasing the income of bamboo farmers.
"I never thought that bamboo, which no one cared about in the past, could now sell for a good price." Through the early morning mist, Shu Rengui (舒仁贵), a villager from Languan Village (兰关村), Hengdu Town (横渡镇), Shitai County (石台县), Chizhou (池州), waved his machete. The cut bamboo will be sent to a moso bamboo primary processing base. "Cutting bamboo at my doorstep, as long as I am diligent and hardworking, I can earn 40,000 yuan a year," said Shu Rengui (舒仁贵).
Stepping into the moso bamboo processing base in Meijie Town (梅街镇), Guichi District (贵池区), Chizhou (池州), one sees a busy scene. "Chizhou (池州) is increasing its support for the development of the bamboo industry. The town has built two bamboo material processing plants, processing 35,000 tons of moso bamboo annually. The processed semi-finished products are then transported to downstream deep-processing and fine-processing bases," said Zhang Yu (张钰), head of the Meijie Town (梅街镇) moso bamboo processing base. The base has absorbed more than 40 villagers to work near their homes, driving income growth.
"Chizhou (池州) has gradually built an industrial model of 'leading enterprises + circular industrial park + moso bamboo chipping plant + village-level moso bamboo professional planting cooperative,' forming an 'initial processing, fine processing, and deep processing' industrial chain," said a relevant person in charge of the Chizhou (池州) Forestry Bureau. At present, the city has 89 bamboo processing enterprises, with an annual processing volume of 900,000 tons of moso bamboo. In 2024, the city's bamboo industry output value was approximately 3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26%; the bamboo industry has driven nearly 40,000 farmer households to find employment, with an average annual income increase of more than 20,000 yuan per household.
Accelerating the "going out" strategy, Chizhou's (池州) bamboo straws are gradually opening up the international market through platforms such as the Canton Fair. Bamboo products such as bamboo skewers, bamboo chopsticks, and bamboo straws are sold to countries and regions such as the European Union, India, Japan, and South Korea. In December 2023, Chizhou (池州) bamboo product companies were invited to participate in a thematic side event organized by the International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation during the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, sharing China's practical experience in "replacing plastic with bamboo" with the world.
The transformation scope of the bamboo industry is expanding. At the first Anhui (安徽) "Replacing Plastic with Bamboo" and High-Quality Development Conference of the Bamboo Industry in 2024, Chizhou High-Tech Zone (池州高新区) signed a cooperation framework agreement with CRRC Group (中车集团) to establish the national headquarters base of the Bamboo Circular Industrial Park in Chizhou (池州) and plans to build more than 50 bamboo circular industrial parks in areas with abundant bamboo resources across the country.

In the early morning, truck drivers drink hot water and take a peaceful nap at the "Driver's Home" by the roadside; in the afternoon, food delivery riders charge their phones and eat a hot meal at the "Rider Station" on the street corner; in the evening, families with children use accessible passages and baby rooms to travel with ease... These heart-warming facilities in the streets and alleys, seemingly inconspicuous, help to paint a picture of people's livelihood full of warmth.
Behind these public facilities located in the corners of the city is a continuous effort to guarantee and improve people's livelihood. Aiming at the urgent needs and anxieties of specific groups, they are inserted into the streets and alleys wherever possible, striving to weave a service network that is widely covered and precisely responsive.
It is worth noting that these small-scale services are releasing more energy.
In Chengdu (成都市), Sichuan (四川) Province, the idle space under the Shuangqiaozi Overpass (双桥子立交桥) has been transformed into a basketball park, surrounded by teahouses and flower markets, becoming a good place for citizens to relax and stroll; in Zhangzhou (漳州市), Fujian (福建) Province, the local government has introduced the "Golden Neighbor" ("金厝边") micro-public space utilization plan, with wasteland and street corners incubating various business formats such as street vending and mobile sales... Precise and down-to-earth public services are resonating with economic development and social harmony.
It is not easy to keep these small stations functioning continuously. This requires the city's embroidery skills to be more meticulous and deeper - strengthening coordination and overall planning, so that public services become a system network from a single station; encouraging social participation, exploring models such as "station + public welfare" and "small space + micro-cultural creation" to enhance self-hematopoietic function; making good use of digital technology to achieve precise matching of needs and services, so that services can reach more accurately.
The temperature of a city is, in an important aspect, the meticulous care for individual needs. Letting express delivery guys eat a hot meal, making it convenient for the elderly and pregnant women to travel, and giving neighborhoods a place to rest - these subtle details are precisely the strokes of the "fine brushwork" of the people's city construction.

Located in the Chengbei District of Xining (西宁) City, Qinghai (青海) Province, the Guoluo Xining Nationalities Middle School (果洛西宁民族中学) is a full-time boarding complete middle school. Since 2017, in order to allow children in the highland pastoral areas to better enjoy high-quality educational resources, the Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (果洛藏族自治州) has taken advantage of the counterpart support from Shanghai (上海) to build this school in Xining (西宁).
Shanghai (上海), Xining (西宁), and Guoluo (果洛) – one school connects the ties of three regions. In 2019, the Guoluo Xining Nationalities Middle School (果洛西宁民族中学) was officially completed. Currently, the school has more than 800 students, about 70% of whom come from pastoral areas in Guoluo Prefecture (果洛州).
Shanghai (上海) has selected a "group-style" aid-to-Qinghai (援青) team to support the Guoluo Xining Nationalities Middle School (果洛西宁民族中学), improving teachers' teaching abilities and levels through teacher training and two-way teaching and research.

Crimson apples bend the branches, and fruit farmers shuttle through the groves, busy picking fruit, clipping stems, and filling baskets. In Hengshan District (横山区), Yulin City (榆林市), Shaanxi Province (陕西省), the hills on the southern edge of the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙地) welcome the apple harvest season, and the former "barren sand ridge" has now become a "fruitful mountain."
"Shaanxi's traditional apple-producing areas are concentrated in the Weibei area (渭北一带). In recent years, the apple planting belt has expanded northward to the Mu Us (毛乌素), and northern Shaanxi's mountainous areas have become one of the province's three major apple industry belts," said Zhao Guangzhu (赵广柱), director of the Shaanxi Provincial Fruit Industry Center (陕西省果业中心).
Zhang Binggui (张炳贵), 85 years old this year, contracted 300 mu of sandy land in Zhaoshipan Town (赵石畔镇), Hengshan District (横山区), in 2003, but failed to grow grapes and jujube trees. Unwilling to admit defeat, he devoted himself to studying apple cultivation. Three generations of his family have worked for more than ten years, and finally grown "golden fruits" in the sandy land. Zhang Bin (张彬), Zhang Binggui's (张炳贵) grandson, said: "This year's yield has increased again."
Xu Jun (许君), director of the Yulin Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (榆林市农业农村局), introduced that the apple planting area in Yulin City (榆林市) has reached 1.16 million mu, more than three times that of 20 years ago.
The arrival of the apple planting belt on the southern edge of the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙地) is the result of ecological improvement, climate change, and technological progress. With the in-depth advancement of ecological projects such as the "Three-North" Shelterbelt Program ("三北”防护林), Yulin (榆林)'s 8.6 million mu of shifting sand has basically been fixed or semi-fixed. The continuous improvement of the ecology has created conditions for the northward expansion of the apple belt.
Technological empowerment makes sandy land apples more competitive in the market. In recent years, Yulin (榆林) has introduced excellent varieties and popularized technologies such as integrated water and fertilizer management and pest and disease control. A small apple crosses the boundaries of soil and climate, and takes root from the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains (秦岭北麓) to the edge of the desert. Behind this is the continuous advancement of ecological civilization construction, and also a vivid practice of the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature on the Loess Plateau (黄土高原).

Recently, in the Qinglong Mountain Dinosaur Egg Fossil Group National Nature Reserve (青龙山恐龙蛋化石群国家级自然保护区) in Hubei (湖北), staff from the digital archive construction team are assigning unique identification numbers to the relatively complete dinosaur egg fossils in storage. The identification number consists of "Nature Reserve Name - Fossil Locality Name - Storage Box Number - Specimen Number."
The Qinglong Mountain Dinosaur Egg Fossil Group (青龙山恐龙蛋化石群) is located in Liubei Town (柳陂镇), Yunyang District (郧阳区), Shiyan City (十堰市), Hubei (湖北). It was formed approximately 86 million years ago and is China's first national nature reserve for dinosaur egg fossil groups. The number of dinosaur egg fossils originally protected on-site and collected in recent years has reached nearly 10,000. According to the relevant person in charge of the reserve, previously, the fossil group was only registered, and the incomplete condition and shell integrity of the dinosaur egg fossils were not numbered or scientifically classified. Furthermore, the relevant information on dinosaur egg fossils scattered outside was unknown. "The unified numbering of dinosaur egg fossils in Qinglong Mountain (青龙山) and its surrounding areas by the reserve is of great significance for the management, research, and protection of dinosaur egg fossils."
"Digital management of paleontological fossils is an international practice and the basis for protection and scientific research. We assign a unique identification number to each fossil in the manner described above, just like books in a library, which is conducive to the protection and research of dinosaur egg fossils," said Zhao Bi (赵璧), head of the digital archive construction team and Deputy Chief Engineer of the Hubei Provincial Geological Science Research Institute (湖北省地质科学研究院).

On May 10 this year, China's newly revised "Regulations on Marriage Registration" came into effect, allowing new couples to register for marriage across the country. According to statistics, in the past six months, China has cumulatively processed more than 260,000 couples for "nationwide marriage registration."
Behind the burgeoning trend of wedding tourism consumption is not only the result of policy and industry synergy, but also reflects the new consumption trends of the younger generation.
In recent days, a series of unique weddings have been held by Erhai Lake in Dali (大理) and under Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山) in Lijiang (丽江), Yunnan (云南). "The symbolism of 'pledging love by the sea and mountain' is very good, so we specifically chose to take our wedding photos here," said Chen Hao (陈浩), a groom from Jiangxi (江西), at the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor in Dali (大理).
Currently, the younger generation has new expectations for the aesthetics and sense of ritual in marriage. Integrating wedding ceremonies with travel and cultural experiences, wedding tourism consumption in many places is becoming increasingly popular.
New couples who complete their marriage registration at the Sayram Lake (赛里木湖) Scenic Area Marriage Registration Center in Xinjiang (新疆) will be offered lifetime free admission to the scenic area; Chengdu (成都市), Sichuan (四川) Province, is using the "Rongcheng Xishi (蓉城囍事)" cultural tourism consumption brand as a starting point, and this year's National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays will simultaneously carry out extended marriage registration services in 23 districts and counties... Many places are helping to promote the transformation from "sightseeing consumption" to "emotional consumption" through brand building and industrial construction, and are constantly expanding new spaces for wedding tourism consumption.

Currently, in Tongnan District (潼南区), Chongqing (重庆), 320,000 mu of lemons are entering the harvest season. Stepping into the lemon planting base in Datu Village (大土村), Xiaodu Town (小渡镇), farmers shuttle through the groves, picking and packing lemons into baskets.
Two agricultural drones are hovering over the orchards, with fruit baskets full of lemons hanging below, transporting the freshly picked lemons to the collection point in just one minute. Among the rolling hills, this efficiently operating "aerial corridor" has become a bright spot in this year's lemon harvest.
Tongnan (潼南) is located in a hilly area, and in the past, the transportation of lemons after harvest mostly relied on manual labor. "In the past, we relied entirely on carrying them on our shoulders and backs, and each person could carry up to a thousand catties per day. In rainy weather, there were also safety hazards due to slippery roads," said He Xiaoyang (何小洋), the head of the base. This year, the base introduced agricultural drones for transportation for the first time. Each drone can carry 200 catties of lemons at a time, and the daily transportation volume can reach 15 tons, which significantly improves efficiency.
Operator Huang Rui (黄锐) introduced that the drone only needs a few minutes to change the battery and can continue to work, which is very suitable for transporting agricultural materials and agricultural products in hilly areas. At the same time, these drones also have multiple functions such as spraying pesticides and sowing seeds. Since the beginning of this year, their drones have transported approximately 700 tons of lemons, becoming a "helpful assistant" for the transportation of crops such as lemons, corn, and wheat.
At present, Tongnan District (潼南区) has equipped more than 90 agricultural drones with transfer functions, effectively solving the problem of agricultural product transportation in hilly and mountainous areas, promoting agricultural cost reduction and efficiency increase, and injecting technological impetus into the development of characteristic industries.

On the morning of November 6th, Zhou Li, who had returned from out of town for vacation, was immediately attracted by the smart screen overhead as she entered the Yilai Street AI Smart Farmers Market in Shigu District, Hengyang City (衡阳市), Hunan Province. Information such as price announcements, quality inspection results, and sunshine measurement rolled in real time, making everything clear at a glance.
In the fresh meat section, stall owner Yu Chun (余春) introduced, "This is a smart fair scale that has been uniformly replaced. If you are not assured, you can also go to the re-weighing point to check." "In the past, you had to compare prices at three different places when buying vegetables. Now, the average price and inspection reports are clearly displayed on the big screen, so you can buy with peace of mind and confidence!" Surrounding residents expressed their feelings.
"Measurement" is all around us. The company that provides digital measurement products for this smart farmers market is one of the enterprises introduced by the Hengyang Intelligent Weighing Instrument Measurement Industrial Park. Hengyang (衡阳) is developing the intelligent measurement industry, which not only cultivates new economic growth points, but also brings benefits and peace of mind to citizens.
Such a scene has now become the norm in the Yilai Street (易赖街) and Zhengshui (蒸水) smart farmers markets. Through renovation, the old vegetable market has been transformed into a modern vegetable market. Smart equipment gives the vegetable market a "sense of technology": smart fair scales eliminate short weights and measures, smart screens display market transactions and food safety information in real time, and scanning a code can trace the entire process "from farm to table." For merchants, full-process traceability gives consumers more confidence, and business is much better than before. The transformation has allowed them to 守株待兔 (shǒu zhū dài tù - "guard stump wait rabbit," to rely on luck or wait idly for opportunities).

My pen name is "Niu Erge" (牛二哥), and I'm a truck driver with 30 years of experience. I'm from Dananpo Village (大南坡村), Xiuwu County (修武县), Jiaozuo (焦作), Henan (河南). The village is in the mountains, and there used to be many coal mines. Many people made a living by driving trucks.
How did a truck driver get involved with writing? I loved reading comic books and listening to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (《三国演义》) since I was a child. My first book was bought at the age of seven or eight, braving the heavy snow, wearing yellow rubber shoes, and walking several miles of mountain road to the supply and marketing cooperative. Later, when I went to school in the county seat, I borrowed "Don Quixote" from the library, and the seed of "wandering the world with a sword" was planted in my heart.
After starting a family and driving trucks, life was tight, and I couldn't afford new books. My literary dream was built up with 3 yuan and 5 yuan at a time in used bookstores. No matter which city I went to, I would look for used bookstores, and I would read whatever I found.
When I drive, there are two things I can't live without in the truck: books and a diary. I always put a few books under the sleeper berth. In Xinjiang (新疆), when others chatted and drank after unloading, I would read. Sometimes I would sit alone on the Gobi Desert (戈壁滩) and read quietly in the sunset. Later, I learned to listen to audiobooks, and I listened to nearly 480 books in total.
Inspiration comes suddenly on the road. It's a bit clumsy to record with paper and pen, so I park on the side of the road when it's safe and write in the phone's memo. Scattered records have become the most precious material for writing later. From the short essays I wrote, my two children learned about the hardships of driving trucks, and they studied harder.
I publish poems and essays online, and many fellow drivers will tell their own situations in the comments section. I write about the stories of "truckers," this group that connects industry and agriculture, cities and villages, but is often misunderstood. In 2024, my first non-fiction collection, "Truck Driver Niu Erge" (《货车司机牛二哥》), was published, containing my 30 years of trucking career, spanning 28 provinces and traveling more than 2 million kilometers of experiences.
Literature is my home. Without literature, wandering and loneliness have nowhere to pour out. Whenever I turn my experiences into words, I have a sense of accomplishment, and I feel that tomorrow will be better than today. I gain confidence and strength imperceptibly. Now, I run a homestay in my hometown while writing about my past trucking experiences. I also took the lead in establishing the "Dananpo Literary Society" (大南坡文学社) in the village. The county supports it very much, and teachers from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles (文联) and the Writers Association (作协) often come to exchange ideas and encourage me to write better works.
The first time I heard the term "New Mass Literature," I was stunned. My first reaction was to think of the "Mass Literature" (《大众文艺》) magazine that I used to find in used bookstores. On second thought, aren't I a member of this literary trend? Ordinary workers participate in creation and can publish books, which proves the inclusiveness of literature—not only "high-end," but also "low-level and micro." Like "takeaway poet" Wang Jibing (王计兵) and "Aunt Field Mouse" Pei Aimin (裴爱民), we are all ordinary people. I believe that under the promotion of such a literary trend, more grassroots writers will appear in the future. These works that "don't take the usual path" will become vibrant new leaves on the tree of literature.
Once, a reader from Zhengzhou (郑州), Henan (河南) came to me and said that he also wanted to write about himself, but he didn't have the experience of traveling all over the country like I did. I want to say to every ordinary person who wants to pick up a pen: everyone is the author of their own life. Don't be afraid of writing too little or writing poorly. You might as well start by writing a diary. As long as you record real life and express real emotions, you will definitely find your own readers.

We are currently situated within a warm and powerful cultural scene: "Brother Niu Er" (牛二哥) in Xiuwu, Henan (河南修武) records life on wheels, farmers in Xiji, Ningxia (宁夏西吉) sow lines of poetry between the ridges of fields, and amateur creators use short videos to tell vivid everyday stories... What is so new about this surging new popular art and literature wave?
The novelty lies in the creative subject. In the past, the image of laborers was mostly "represented" by professional writers; now, drivers, cleaners, and industrial workers pick up pens and become the protagonists of writing. The shift from "being spoken for" to "I want to speak" is a vivid portrayal of the people needing art and literature, and art and literature needing the people.
The novelty lies in the content dimension. Instead of being fixated on "grand narratives," it focuses on telling "individual stories" at the grassroots level. The fragments of ordinary people's lives converge into a bustling "diary of the times." Literature is the amber that solidifies time, accommodating both the exquisite carvings in the ivory tower and cherishing the roughness and vitality that grow from the soil.
The novelty lies in technological empowerment. Audio, video, mobile phone memos, and social platforms—new technologies are the paper and pens of the new era, with high efficiency and low barriers to entry, allowing more vivid stories to "break the circle" and grow.
The newly born literary and artistic forest is growing vigorously and needs nourishment from all parties. Grassroots creators look forward to precise support, respect for their true colors, and seek inspiration through professional training such as revision meetings. And the reading, discussion, and dissemination of each of us is the most direct and longest-lasting support.
The spring of new popular art and literature is being written by countless ordinary people. When thousands of "Brother Niu Ers" (牛二哥) can confidently tell their life stories, the cultural landscape we all share will be more complete and vivid.

This year marks my twenty-fourth year in Dongguan (东莞), Guangdong (广东).
The desk is covered with dense text at night. I look at them as if looking at my own children. I came here from my hometown in Hunan (湖南), working and writing at the same time. I was once young, struggling on the assembly line, and writing was what kept me going.
The era I am in and the land I am standing on are extremely extraordinary. I am surrounded by a large group of people from all over the country, experiencing tremendous changes. The collision between the city and the factory has created a constant stream of creative material. Everyone contributes, jointly painting a "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" (清明上河图) of amateur writing in Guangdong (广东).
Sometimes I am in a daze, as if I am still standing on the assembly line, holding an electric screwdriver, tilting my head to lock the side panel of the computer case. But there is still light in my heart - after work, climbing to the upper bunk of the dormitory, hiding behind the curtains, the words are a light, illuminating everything...
At that time, "migrant worker literature" was booming in the Pearl River Delta (珠三角), and Dongguan (东莞) was the "base camp." I used the style of documentary prose, from the perspective of a female worker on the production line, to write articles, recording the hot and passionate life of the migrant worker group. The society's attention to this topic has allowed my works to be printed into lead characters one after another, and I have also won the National Youth Industrial Worker Literature Award for Prose and the first prize of the Second Sun Li Literature Award (孙犁文学奖), among others.
This growth is inseparable from the support of the times, personal perseverance, and the nurturing of the environment. In 2011, as one of the first students of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League's (共青团广东省委) "Dream Realization Program · Peking University 100" (圆梦计划·北大100), I entered Peking University (北京大学), fulfilling not only my dream of studying Chinese, but also mobilizing the energy in my heart, becoming more confident than ever before.
Dongguan (东莞) is my "City of Fortune" (福城). From factory newspapers, town newspapers, daily newspapers to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles (文联), a series of platforms have been established here to display and support literature; for the group of migrant worker writers with a low cultural foundation, manuscript revision meetings are also organized every year, inviting experienced writers and editors to communicate and revise manuscripts face-to-face. My first collection of essays, "Youth on the Assembly Line" (流水线上的青春), was published with the support of relevant special funds in Dongguan (东莞).
Today, I still work in a manufacturing company. The current factory is very different, with garden-style factory areas, automated dust-free workshops, and the former assembly line has become a fully automated line. This change once made me feel at a loss. The rich experience of migrant work in the past was emptied, and the surging "torrent" of words was drained. In July of this year, the Dongguan Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles (东莞市文联) and the Municipal Writers Association (市作协) recommended 36 amateur writers to study at the Lu Xun Academy of Literature (鲁迅文学院). Sitting in the auditorium, my tablemate said that I looked like a primary school student listening attentively. The lecturers elaborated on profound literary theories or shared the changes in new mass literature and art, opening up deep and beautiful windows. I was "reignited."
With the rise of new mass literature and art, the public can participate more widely in literary and artistic creation activities, rather than just being simple appreciators. How do the new generation of workers work and live? How do factories transform under the tremendous changes of the times? The real feelings from the front line provide a new perspective for creation.
How far can one travel on the road of literature? No one knows. But I know that literature is something that can be devoted to a lifetime and constantly explored.

New Mass Literature and Art
The "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五规划) proposes to widely carry out mass cultural activities and promote new mass literature and art under the conditions of the Internet. "New Mass Literature and Art" has rich contemporary connotations, highly summarizing the literary concept of mass writing and writing about the masses, and the literary landscape of mass acceptance, mass evaluation, and mass communication. Fresh cases such as "migrant worker literature" and "amateur writing" are constantly enriching the connotation of new mass literature and art, and promoting literary art to present new features in terms of creative subject, communication method, creative theme, and expression method.

In Kunming (昆明), Yunnan (云南), a sudden rainstorm. In the Southwest Associated University's (西南联大) classrooms with iron sheet roofs, the dense sound of raindrops drowned out the lectures. The teacher on the podium turned around and wrote four large characters on the blackboard: "Stop class, enjoy the rain."
More than 80 years later, on a rainy day like this, under the same iron sheet roof, in the restored classroom at the old site of Yunnan Normal University's (云南师范大学) Southwest Associated University (西南联大), student volunteer guide San Meng (散勐) is recreating this past event for tourists. "This is a vivid snapshot of 'determination and perseverance'," San Meng (散勐) said.
Tracing Historical Carriers
Approaching the old site of Southwest Associated University (西南联大), the plaque "National Southwest Associated University (国立西南联合大学)" comes into view first. In the distance, the bronze sculptures of the three presidents, Zhang Boling (张伯苓), Jiang Menglin (蒋梦麟), and Mei Yi Qi (梅贻琦), stand quietly. At the entrance of the Southwest Associated University Museum (西南联大博物馆), the four characters "determination and perseverance (刚毅坚卓)" are engraved. In the difficult times of national crisis, Southwest Associated University (西南联大) built thatched houses and continued teaching, and the majority of teachers and students practiced the university motto of "determination and perseverance (刚毅坚卓)" throughout their lives.
Today's Southwest Associated University Museum (西南联大博物馆) is a restored building of the original Southwest Associated University Library (西南联大图书馆). The exhibition inside focuses on the history of Southwest Associated University (西南联大), displaying various archives, objects, and related historical pictures of Southwest Associated University (西南联大). In recent years, the Southwest Associated University Museum (西南联大博物馆) has widely collected historical evidence by interviewing hundreds of alumni and their relatives, giving spiritual culture more carriers and continuous inheritance.
After becoming a student volunteer guide, San Meng (散勐) has completed more than 100 explanations, but he still finds it hard to hide his excitement every time he explains. Once, after listening to the explanation, an old lady took San Meng's (散勐) hand and said that her father was a student of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) that year and wore out three pairs of straw sandals during the southward migration on foot. San Meng (散勐) said, "These true stories have given me a deeper understanding of the 'Long March in the history of education'."
"Ten thousand miles Long March, bidding farewell to five dynasties' palaces. Temporarily stationed in Hengshan (衡山), Xiangshui (湘水), and then separated again." On the Democracy Lawn outside the museum, the Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学) Southwest Associated University Choir (西南联大合唱团) sang the Southwest Associated University (西南联大) school song. "At that time, teachers and students of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) sang this school song in many places in Yunnan (云南), and countless young people were inspired and spontaneously joined the anti-Japanese propaganda team," said Li Hongying (李红英), curator of the Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学) Southwest Associated University Museum (西南联大博物馆).
Conducting Dialogue Across Time and Space
"Are you Chinese?" "Yes!" "Do you love China?" "Love!" "Are you willing for China to be good?" "Willing!"
This is the "Three Patriotic Questions" in the musical dance epic "Southwest Associated University (西南联大)". When new students enrolled this year, it drew unanimous and firm answers from the actors and all teachers and students. In recent years, relying on the red resources of Southwest Associated University (西南联大), Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学) has successively created works such as the musical dance epic "Southwest Associated University (西南联大)", the situational drama "The Pursuit (追寻)", and the stage radio drama "Wen Yiduo (闻一多)".
"Deng Jiaxian (邓稼先) used himself as a torch to forge a great weapon for the country. Every time I stand on the stage, I feel like I am talking to my predecessors and feeling the power of their beliefs," said Lu Qi (路琦), a teacher at Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学) who plays Deng Jiaxian (邓稼先) in the situational drama "The Pursuit (追寻)". In "The Pursuit (追寻)", three contemporary college students and teachers and students from more than 80 years ago cross history and have a dialogue across time and space. The predecessors' sincerity of "reading for the rise of China" resonates with the contemporary youth's ambition of "making the country strong with me".
These dramas have been performed in many universities in Yunnan (云南), causing enthusiastic responses. "We position the dramas as 'a never-ending walking ideological and political class', hoping to use performances to allow more students to become inheritors and practitioners of the spirit," said Shen Jianxin (沈建鑫), associate professor of the School of Arts of Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学) and general director of the drama "Southwest Associated University (西南联大)".
Writing Inheritance Stories
In a recent social practice, Wang Xueni (王雪妮), a student at Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学), embarked on a research trip of "Retracing the Road of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) and Continuing the Dream of a Strong Country".
On the research road, Wang Xueni (王雪妮) stopped and stared. "Some of the teachers and students of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) walked from here to Kunming (昆明). The road under our feet is imprinted with the footprints of our predecessors," Wang Xueni (王雪妮) said.
Integrating the history of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) into education and teaching, and understanding the spirit of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) in practical education, inheritance is everywhere at Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学).
The faint fragrance of tea wafts from the celadon cup, and the teachers and students sitting around chat softly, occasionally with knowing laughter... This is the daily scene of the "Southwest Associated University Afternoon Tea" activity.
"The root of the activity is rooted in the tradition of Southwest Associated University (西南联大)," said Ma Zidan (马梓丹), a student at Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学) and one of the planners of "Southwest Associated University Afternoon Tea". "In those days, teachers and students of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) often gathered in teahouses to talk about learning and ideals over a pot of hot tea. We wanted to restore this relaxed and in-depth atmosphere of communication."
The Southwest Associated Graduate School (西南联合研究生院), established at the old site of Southwest Associated University (西南联大), has been running for 3 years. This graduate school, jointly built by Yunnan University (云南大学), Kunming University of Science and Technology (昆明理工大学), Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学), Peking University (北京大学), Tsinghua University (清华大学), and Nankai University (南开大学), not only continues the tradition of "joint education" but also inherits the spirit and writes stories with a new model of education.
In the practice of generations of young people, the spirit of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) transcends time and space and continues to thrive. As long as people remember and inherit it, there will always be fresh new stories.

A short drama adapted from an online novel can drive the daily reading number of the original work to increase by more than 300%; Chinese online literature is co-created and shared globally, with overseas active users reaching approximately 200 million and spawning a group of local creators—how should we define today's online literature?
From November 9th to 12th, the 2025 China Online Literature Forum, themed "Great Era, Great Vision, Great Literature," was held in Quanzhou (泉州), Fujian (福建) Province. Online literature writers, platform representatives, and industry professionals gathered to discuss the mainstreaming, refinement, industrialization, and internationalization of online literature.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五规划) proposal puts forward the need to "prosper new mass literature and art under the conditions of the Internet" and "guide and regulate the healthy development of online literature, online games, and online audio-visual programs." Experts at the meeting believe that as the process of mainstreaming and refinement continues to accelerate, online literature's leverage on the cultural industry is becoming increasingly prominent, its international influence is significantly enhanced, and it is striding forward into a stage of high-quality development.
As of the end of 2024, the number of online literature users in China (中国) reached 575 million, accounting for 51.9% of the number of Internet users, making it a literary style with national characteristics.
As an important manifestation of new mass literature and art, how should we understand online literature from the perspective of a "grand literary view"? Experts believe that while maintaining a distinct "Internet sense," online literature creation should pursue exquisite artistic texture and vivid life texture, and promote classicization and innovative development.
The creation ecology continues to be optimized, and refinement has become a consensus in the industry. In this regard, local writers' associations and relevant departments actively build a creation support system. During this event, the first Maritime Silk Road Online Literature Week (海丝网络文学周) was launched; Fujian (福建) relies on the "Golden Conch" (金海螺) online literature creation support program to establish a full-cycle cultivation mechanism covering "creation-growth-talent"; Hunan (湖南) Province relies on Malanshan Video Cultural and Creative Park (马栏山视频文创园) to build and operate the "China Online Literature Town" (中国网络文学小镇), and opens a "green channel" for online writers to evaluate professional titles...
Creative concepts are also continuously being upgraded. The online writer "Insecticide Squad Member" (杀虫队队员) believes that online literature has a high degree of inclusiveness, and only by integrating and innovating various cultural forms of new narrative methods can it meet the needs of readers. "With the popularization of AI technology, online literature creation needs to be more comprehensive." The online writer "Mo Shubai" (墨书白) believes that successful IP development works often have the characteristics of "distinct visual characters," and the story construction is more inclined to "compose stories with scenes."
On the other hand, online literature, as the "IP mother," is increasingly leveraging the cultural industry. It has become a key engine driving industrial development, and together with film and television, animation, games, and other industries, it has built a richer and more diverse digital content ecosystem.
It is worth noting that short dramas adapted from online literature have become a new trend in the industry. The linkage model of "novel-short drama" has expanded the user coverage of online literature and brought about a multiplier effect of industrial integration. The short drama "Inside and Outside the Home" (家里家外) focuses on the life of ordinary people in the early days of reform and opening up, with over 1 billion views, driving the collection volume of similar online articles to exceed 500,000.
"More than half of the short dramas are adapted from online literature, becoming a conversion channel for a massive amount of online literature IP." Wei Qintao (魏钦涛), head of high-quality short dramas at Hongguo Short Dramas (红果短剧), introduced that short dramas can currently digest tens of thousands of online literature works annually. In his view, deep integration is producing a two-way empowerment effect. On the one hand, industrialization provides online writers with new growth channels and creative motivation; on the other hand, it also promotes online writing to pay more attention to visual thinking, laying a better foundation for subsequent transformation.
"'One update, across seven time zones,' this is a line from the documentary 'Online Literature China' (网文中国) by the China Writers Association Online Literature Center (中国作协网络文学中心)." Cultural "new three items" represented by online literature have aroused widespread resonance among overseas audiences and become an important part of the world's popular culture system.
The overseas expansion model is constantly innovating and upgrading. While replicating the "Qidian Model" (起点模式) overseas, Qidian International (起点国际) actively cultivates local original authors. As of the end of 2024, the number of overseas original works has reached 100 times that of translated works. Jinjiang Literature City (晋江文学城) has exported more than 5,000 works (times) to overseas countries, covering more than 20 countries and regions, and has achieved targeted promotion of works through accurate research on overseas readers' preferences.
"'Online literature going overseas' is not only an exciting story, but also a real economic growth point." Shao Yanjun (邵燕君), a professor in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University (北京大学), introduced that Chinese online literature is achieving wider international dissemination through new forms such as micro-short dramas, and is profoundly shaping the reading habits of global readers. She believes that in order to maintain a leading edge in international competition, Chinese online literature must protect the soil of originality and continue to tell newer and better Chinese stories to the world.

In the early morning on Runmei Road in the Shuangfeng Development Zone, Changfeng County, Anhui Province (安徽省长丰县), Jiang Shitao (姜世涛), the owner of a breakfast shop, unveils the steamer. The aroma of steamed buns fills the streets, quickly attracting residents for breakfast. Just two months ago, this area was a "long-standing difficult problem" with mobile vendors occupying the road and oil stains everywhere.
The change began with a joint effort. At that time, law enforcement officers came to Runmei Road, cleared the stalls occupying the road, demolished 31 illegal buildings, and towed away 13 "zombie cars." Soon, 50 standardized parking spaces were designated, a tripartite joint duty mechanism was launched, 30 law enforcement officers were stationed in shifts, and "intelligent monitoring + manual inspection" operated around the clock.
"In the past, the stalls were mobile, but now operating in designated areas has actually stabilized customer flow and is more hygienic," said Zheng Yang (郑阳), a stall owner, as he sent the garbage to the segregated waste bins, his tone revealing a sense of practicality. Similarly, in Xiatang Town (下塘镇), more than 1,000 mobile vendors, like Zheng Yang, bid farewell to their "street wandering" and welcomed a secure business.
Today, this kind of humanized governance measure is extending throughout the urban and rural areas of Changfeng (长丰): 50 meters of non-motor vehicle parking spaces allow shared bicycles to line up neatly; at the "first offense without penalty" education post, car owners who have parked illegally for the first time solemnly promise "not to do it again" after watching a safety education film...
Inside a comprehensive law enforcement post in Gangji Town (岗集镇), Changfeng County, traffic police officer Chen Kefei (陈克飞) lightly taps the mobile police terminal, and information on illegally parked vehicles 3 kilometers away is displayed in real time. The facial recognition system accurately locks onto the illegally parked personnel. "Through the 'Traffic Management 12123' video quick-handling function, the accident evacuation time is shortened by 70%," Chen Kefei introduced, adding that they routinely use drones to patrol and capture images of accident-prone road sections in their jurisdiction.
While technology empowers, institutional innovation is also exerting its strength. Xiatang Town actively explores the "1231" work method, that is, rectifying and immediately correcting problems within 1 day, solving multi-department coordination matters within 2 days, overcoming medium-term problems within 3 months, and incorporating long-term difficult and important points into the city's 1-year plan, forming a closed-loop chain of "investigation-rectification-cancellation."
At the construction site of the Green Corridor Park (绿廊公园) in Changfeng County, engineers are debugging equipment. A year ago, this place was still a construction earthwork dump. The park is equipped with a batch of intelligent equipment and is currently still in the maintenance and improvement stage. The project leader introduced, "The mothers in the surrounding communities are looking forward to the children's activity square and come to ask about the progress every day."
There are many stories like this of "regenerating" abandoned spaces in Changfeng County: piles of debris under high-speed rail bridges have become street parks surrounded by wisteria trellises; the land reclaimed from the relocated waste recycling station in Shuangdun Town (双墩镇) becomes a popular spot for residents to check in when the rapeseed flowers bloom in spring... Li Xiaohong (李孝鸿), Secretary of the Changfeng County Party Committee, said: "The key to refined urban management is to find a precise balance between order and vitality, efficiency and warmth, so that the city is always filled with the warmth of people's livelihood in its development."

In Xianghong Embroidery House, located in the China Arts and Crafts Culture City in Guangfu Town (光福镇), Wuzhong District (吴中区), Suzhou (苏州市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), Fu Hanlu (府涵璐), an embroiderer born in the 1980s, is bending over the frame, with her needle flying and thread dancing, as Paeonia lactiflora blossoms gradually bloom at her fingertips.
Xianghong Embroidery House (向红绣府), the Su embroidery brand co-founded by Fu Hanlu (府涵璐), is positioned to design and produce wearable Su embroidery. However, Su embroidery uses silk as its base material, and can be easily damaged if not handled carefully. To transform Su embroidery into everyday wearable earrings and necklaces, it must be durable.
Fu Hanlu (府涵璐) began tackling the technical challenges. After repeated exploration, she found a set of needlework combinations. Su embroidery embroidered with this needlework will not deform or change shape even after repeated washing. She also tried to stack cotton layer by layer using a specific process to create small beads with good texture and that are not easy to collapse, and then sew the Su embroidery on them, creating an exquisite "Su embroidery gem."
She develops hundreds of new products every year, including Su embroidery jewelry series such as necklaces, earrings, rings, and brooches. Traditional intangible cultural heritage is moving towards everyday life, integrating into modern consumption scenarios with an innovative attitude.
In 2020, Fu Hanlu (府涵璐) also took the lead in establishing the Yujian Rural Craft Professional Cooperative (遇涧乡土工艺专业合作社). Today, the cooperative has grown to 34 members, with annual revenue of millions of yuan. "There is no end to the road of innovation. Next, we will develop more trendy Su embroidery products to truly bring ancient Su embroidery into thousands of households," said Fu Hanlu (府涵璐).

Core Reading
Against the backdrop of deepening the reform of modern vocational education system construction, Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) closely aligns with modern industrial demands, innovatively constructing an industry-education integration system of "courses connecting to industry, teachers delving into enterprises, and practical training replicating workshops." In its exploration, the school achieves talent cultivation resonating with industrial needs, fostering skilled talents capable of fighting tough battles.
In this year's 3rd National Skills Competition, students from Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院), representing Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省), secured 1 gold and 2 bronze medals, helping the provincial team achieve its best-ever result in the competition's history.
"Being able to successfully break through in the nation's highest-level and largest comprehensive vocational skills competition is all thanks to the real skills practiced in the classroom and the hands-on guidance from enterprise mentors!" said Liu Dexiang (刘德祥), a 2023 student who returned with honors.
Behind this impressive achievement is the solid accumulation of Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College's (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) deep cultivation of industry-education integration. "Skills competitions are a touchstone for testing the effectiveness of industry-education integration. We build the classroom on the industrial chain, allowing knowledge points to connect with production needs, cultivating skilled talents capable of fighting tough battles," said Zhang Zhigang (张志刚), Vice President of Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院).
Course Setting
What is practiced in class is what is used on the job.
"Vocational education must never conduct teaching behind closed doors; it must follow the beat of industry and revolve around the needs of enterprises." In the school's practical training base, Liu Baobin (刘保滨), head of the Department of Home Furnishing Engineering, pointed to the course system diagram on the wall, explaining the main logic of curriculum reform. Next to the name of each course on the diagram is a striking enterprise label—some marked "Jointly developed with Fuzhou Chenfeng Technology Co., Ltd. (福州晨丰科技有限公司)," others attached with the explanation "Updated 6 times in the past 3 years"...
The starting point for course setting is the real needs of the front line of industry. Every year during winter and summer vacations, Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) organizes core teachers to form research teams, delving into enterprises in various provinces and regions, squatting in production workshops with notebooks and recorders.
Several years ago, the home furnishing engineering department's research team discovered a common pain point when communicating with Hangzhou Qunhe Information Technology Co., Ltd. (杭州群核信息技术有限公司): it takes new graduates at least 3 months to get started, and design drawings often need to be repeatedly modified because they do not meet production specifications, delaying order progress. "Newcomers don't understand production logic, design and manufacturing are 'two separate skins'." Chen Hang (陈航), one of the founders of Qunhe Technology (群核科技), became the "catalyst" for Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College's (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) curriculum reform.
The research team returned to the school, and a course restructuring quickly unfolded. For the course of furniture digital design and bill of materials, the home furnishing engineering department, together with enterprise technical backbones, established a special team, cutting off some theoretical content that was divorced from reality, and disassembling more than 200 real orders from the enterprise in the past 3 years into teaching cases.
"Yesterday, the customer requested the addition of a hidden dressing table to the wardrobe, and today it became the theme of classroom discussion." Liu Yingcui (刘英翠), a 2022 student, still remembers that her whole-house customization plan, from the first draft to the final draft, underwent 3 customer feedbacks and enterprise mentor checks, and was finally not only passed the classroom assessment, but also adopted by Chenfeng Technology (晨丰科技) as a formal order. Holding the design remuneration paid by the enterprise, she said excitedly: "It turns out that classroom assignments can also be transformed into practical furniture, which is more enjoyable than getting a perfect score."
The industry is constantly iterating, and the curriculum is also updated in real time. At the beginning of this year, Chenfeng Technology (晨丰科技) upgraded its design and production software, achieving a technological breakthrough of "one-click generation of production parameters from design drawings." The home furnishing engineering department immediately invited two engineers to be stationed at the school to participate in curriculum teaching and research, and this function was also updated to the furniture digital design and bill of materials course. The software version used by students in the classroom is completely synchronized with the enterprise. Data shows that the software upgrade content has improved students' space design efficiency by nearly 20% compared to before.
As of August this year, Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) has jointly built more than 200 courses with enterprises such as Chenfeng Technology (晨丰科技) and Qunhe Technology (群核科技), of which 38 courses such as customized furniture design are synchronously connected to industry certification, and students do not need to receive relevant enterprise training when they graduate and join the job. The main professional courses are dynamically updated every semester. In the first half of this year alone, 10 courses have added the latest enterprise technology modules, so that what is practiced in class is what is used on the job.
Teacher Training
Both able to stand on the podium and enter the workshop.
"When I first came to the school, I could only read the steps from the textbook when teaching basic courses to students. When students asked, 'How is this function used in the workshop?', I always couldn't answer." Recalling the embarrassment of first stepping onto the podium, Jiang Kaiwen (姜凯文), a teacher at Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院), is still a little embarrassed. This "academic master" who graduated from a well-known university has repeatedly "stalled" in the classroom due to a lack of practical production experience.
This was once a common problem faced by many young teachers. In order to break through the bottleneck of teachers understanding theory but not practice, Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) has established a "two-way mutual appointment, two-way training" teacher growth mechanism, promoting teachers within the school to learn from the front line, and enterprise experts to teach at the school, so that teachers can both stand on the podium and enter the workshop.
The school tailored a growth plan for Jiang Kaiwen (姜凯文). From March to June this year, he joined the modern apprenticeship training program established by the school's home furnishing engineering department as an "apprentice," and worked with students in the practical training workshop to transform design plans into physical furniture; in July, he went to a factory in Jiangsu (江苏) served by Chenfeng Technology (晨丰科技), following Li Yun (李云), the technical supervisor of the factory, to take root in the front line of production, understanding specific customer needs and production technical details.
After returning to school, Jiang Kaiwen (姜凯文) organized practical training on the theme of children's room wardrobe design, transforming himself into an "enterprise engineer," leading students to simulate the entire process from order taking, design to order modification. His growth experience is not an isolated case. As of September this year, Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) has sent more than 100 teachers to the front line of enterprises, with a cumulative practice time of more than 3,000 days, achieving full coverage of enterprise practice for core teachers.
Enterprise experts also regularly enter the classroom: Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) has hired more than 30 visiting professors and part-time enterprise teachers from enterprises such as Guangzhou Southern Surveying and Mapping Technology Co., Ltd. (广州南方测绘科技股份有限公司), and has accumulated more than 3,200 class hours this year.
Practical Training Construction
"Moving" the production workshop into the campus.
"Practical training equipment is synchronized with the industry, and practical teaching has the confidence; the practical training process is consistent with the enterprise, and students have no threshold to start the job." Wang Yanfu (王艳福), head of the school's practical training base, pointed to the roaring fully automatic CNC panel saw in the workshop. Behind him, the panel furniture digital production line is operating in an orderly manner, from panel cutting, drilling to assembly, every link is no different from a real production workshop—this is the practical training construction concept of "enterprise standard replication, school-enterprise joint management."
The Heilong·Chenfeng Furniture Intelligent Manufacturing Collaborative Innovation Center (黑林·晨丰家具智造协同创新中心), built in May this year, embodies this concept. Walking into the center, what catches the eye is the equipment and software worth 1.2 million yuan donated by Chenfeng Technology (晨丰科技): students use the same design software to draw drawings, click the "transmission" button, and the parameters are synchronized to the production line in real time; the panel furniture production line is fully automated, and the cutting error does not exceed 0.1 mm; VR virtual rendering technology can present the design effect in real time...
In March this year, the practical training center ushered in a "real combat assessment": making a whole-house customization order for a decoration company in Harbin (哈尔滨). From on-site measurement to issuing production drawings, students completed all the work in only 3 days, which is 50% faster than the traditional process. When the enterprise and customers came to inspect, looking at the accurate drawings and standardized processes, they couldn't help but praise: "The students' professional level is comparable to that of workshop employees."
There are many such cases: in the past 5 months, the center has accumulated more than 50 enterprise orders, and 15 student programs have been successfully implemented, which not only exercised students' practical ability, but also saved labor costs for enterprises. This is a microcosm of the school's practical training construction—as of August this year, the school has jointly built more than 100 practical training sites with enterprises, of which 3 bases such as the home furnishing soft decoration virtual simulation practical training center have been rated as provincial-level or above practical training bases, and enterprises have donated equipment and software worth more than 6 million yuan.
This year, of the 2,982 graduates of Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院), more than 2,500 have been successfully employed. In a furniture factory in Jiangsu (江苏), Dong Shaoqing (董少青), a 2025 graduate, independently took charge of small orders one month after joining the job; in a custom home furnishing enterprise in Harbin (哈尔滨), Qiu Wanbo (邱万博), who has worked for 3 years, has a monthly salary of more than 20,000 yuan, and the order rate of design programs ranks among the top three in the team...
Desks are connected to production lines, and classrooms are connected to the big market. Heilongjiang Forestry Vocational and Technical College (黑龙江林业职业技术学院) has proved with practice that vocational education combined with industrial needs to continuously cultivate talents not only helps students grow and become talents, but also empowers the continuous development of the industry.

A certain airline recently released a special recruitment plan for cabin crew, requiring married and child-rearing women to be given priority, and relaxing the age limit to 40 years old. Some netizens praised: "Each age group has its own advantages."
The netizens' recognition of the airline's move reflects the difficulties many married and child-rearing women face when seeking employment.
Some industries regard childbearing as a woman's "career liability," setting hidden barriers under the pretext of "the position requires overtime and business trips," which not only "stuck" job seekers, but also is not conducive to discovering and cultivating talents, and even "trips" corporate progress and social development. Providing employment opportunities for specific groups, allowing positions and the talents needed to "**双向奔赴**" (shuāng xiàng bēn fù - "two-way rush," a mutual attraction and pursuit), achieving a win-win situation for corporate development and personal growth, also sets an example for more companies. Such measures are worthy of praise.
Similar measures are increasing. The central government and its directly affiliated institutions relaxed the age limit for the 2026 civil servant examination and recruitment, conveying the concept of "ability-based" to society, which helps reduce age discrimination in the job market; many local governments and departments provide assistance to key groups such as "4050" (women aged 40 and men aged 50) personnel and people with disabilities, increase social security payment subsidy standards, and support their employment and entrepreneurship through skills training.
To "dismantle" more hidden barriers and reduce employment discrimination, joint efforts from all parties are needed. How to build a long-term mechanism to make employment more fair?
Use laws to build a bottom line. Legislative departments should further improve the legal system for anti-employment discrimination, clearly define various discriminatory behaviors, the burden of proof, and punishment standards, and reduce the difficulty for job seekers to defend their rights; law enforcement departments should strengthen labor security supervision and law enforcement, and investigate and deal with various discriminatory behaviors in the recruitment process in accordance with the law.
Establish standards based on needs. Talent selection should be based on ability, and eliminate screening conditions that are irrelevant to the job. Employers should recruit based on the needs of the position, allowing job seekers to give full play to their strengths, which is also conducive to the long-term development of the company.
Aggregate strength with consensus. All sectors of society, including the media and industry associations, should strengthen supervision of employment discrimination, provide support and assistance to job seekers who have been discriminated against, promote changes in social concepts, and create a social consensus of "**公平竞争、人尽其才**" (gōng píng jìng zhēng, rén jìn qí cái - "fair competition, everyone gives full play to their talents," a society where everyone has equal opportunities and can utilize their abilities to the fullest), which helps eliminate the breeding ground for employment discrimination.
The "Suggestions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央) on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" proposed: "Create a fair and orderly employment environment." Eliminating hidden barriers, promoting recruitment to return to ability-based, and letting the sunshine of fairness shine on the future of every job seeker.
Return to TopIn early winter, the *Coptis chinensis* trading market in Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County (石柱土家族自治县), Chongqing (重庆) is bustling with activity, the air filled with the distinctive bitter aroma of *Coptis chinensis*. This is the largest distribution center for *Coptis chinensis* in China, with dozens or even hundreds of tons of *Coptis chinensis* being shipped from here to all parts of the country and overseas markets every day.
As the original place of origin and an important production area of Chinese *Coptis chinensis*, Shizhu County (石柱县) has nearly 700 years of artificial cultivation history of *Coptis chinensis*, with its output accounting for about 60% of the national demand. In recent years, based on its resource endowment, Shizhu County (石柱县) has adhered to ecological planting, cluster development, technological empowerment, and linking farmers to benefit farmers, and strived to build a whole industrial chain system integrating planting, processing, research and development, and sales, and accelerated the creation of a national *Coptis chinensis* industry highland, allowing Shizhu *Coptis chinensis* to go from the "field" to the "world."
The "bitter medicinal material" of the past in the deep mountains has now become a "sweet industry" that drives the masses to increase their income and become rich. A high-quality development picture of industrial prosperity, ecological livability, and people's affluence is slowly unfolding on the land of Shizhu (石柱).
Ecological Planting Forging Authentic Quality
Shizhu County (石柱县) has the reputation of "Hometown of Chinese *Coptis chinensis*". The *Coptis chinensis* produced here is of excellent quality, and the berberine content, the basic substance of its medicinal effect, is as high as 9.5%. In 2017, the *Coptis chinensis* production system in Shizhu (石柱), Chongqing (重庆) was successfully selected into the list of important agricultural cultural heritage in China, and the golden signboard of "authentic *Coptis chinensis*" is becoming brighter and brighter.
In order to protect the authentic quality of *Coptis chinensis*, Shizhu County (石柱县) explored and implemented the "leading enterprise + cooperative + farmer" model, comprehensively promoted standardized ecological planting of *Coptis chinensis*, implemented green comprehensive prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer, promoted standardized production of *Coptis chinensis* throughout the whole process, and established a standardized management and control system covering all links such as seed selection and seedling breeding, disease and pest control, harvesting and processing, and successfully created the "China High-Quality Chinese Medicinal Materials *Coptis chinensis* Demonstration Base" to ensure the quality of medicinal materials from the source.
At the same time, Shizhu County (石柱县) innovatively promoted a new model of under-forest planting, coordinated ecological protection and the development of the *Coptis chinensis* industry, and efficiently developed forest land space. At present, Shizhu County (石柱县) maintains a perennial *Coptis chinensis* area of more than 72,000 mu, of which the base (GAP base) certified by the National Good Agricultural Practice for Chinese Medicinal Materials reaches 20,000 mu.
Extending the Chain to Improve Quality Activating Industrial Momentum
In Shizhu (石柱), a small *Coptis chinensis* has realized the full resource utilization from root to flower. By extending the industrial chain, Shizhu County (石柱县) promotes the transformation of the industry from primary processing to intensive processing, and gradually builds a product system with distinct levels and high added value: using *Coptis chinensis* flowers to make tea and dishes to develop specialty foods; using *Coptis chinensis* rhizomes to develop traditional Chinese medicines; using *Coptis chinensis* extracts to process *Coptis chinensis* toothpaste, *Coptis chinensis* soap and other daily chemical products to comprehensively enhance industrial value.
Industrial agglomeration is becoming increasingly prominent. Shizhu County (石柱县) has jointly formulated the "China *Coptis chinensis* Industry Map" with the Chongqing Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (重庆中医药研究院), and cooperated with leading enterprises such as Jointown Pharmaceutical Group (九州通) to carry out the development strategy of the entire traditional Chinese medicine industry, and build a national distribution center for traditional Chinese medicine trade. At present, it has cultivated 10 large-scale enterprises of Chinese medicinal materials, linked and driven 62 small and medium-sized Chinese medicinal materials processing enterprises, and built a *Coptis chinensis* origin processing cluster to realize on-site processing, transformation and value-added of raw materials.
Innovation momentum continues to increase. Shizhu County (石柱县) adheres to the coordinated efforts of "government, research, and enterprise", jointly builds the Chongqing *Coptis chinensis* Technology and Industry Development Innovation Center (重庆市黄连技术与产业发展创新中心), builds a closely integrated Chinese medicine scientific research integration and development system of "government, enterprise, research, and medicine", promotes the accelerated transformation and application of research and development results, and promotes the transformation of the *Coptis chinensis* industry from a traditional planting base type to a technology innovation type.
Diversified Integration Depicting a Picture of Common Prosperity
The vigorous development of the *Coptis chinensis* industry has become an important starting point for Shizhu County (石柱县) to drive the masses to increase their income and promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. By innovating the mechanism of linking farmers to benefit farmers, Shizhu County (石柱县) has built an industrialization management system with leading enterprises as nodes, professional cooperatives as links, and the wide participation of multiple entities, forming a linkage development pattern of "division of labor and cooperation, joint construction of bases, market sharing, and risk sharing". At present, Shizhu County (石柱县) has cultivated 10 leading enterprises, 78 professional cooperatives, and more than 320 large-scale planting households. The resilience of the industrial chain continues to increase, and more and more farmers are integrated into the industrial chain to share the development dividends.
Based on the industrial foundation, Shizhu County (石柱县) is promoting the deep integration of the traditional Chinese medicine industry represented by *Coptis chinensis* with tourism, health care, agriculture and forestry, and exploring a new path of integrated development of "planting-processing-research and development-health care". By exploring the historical and cultural connotation of *Coptis chinensis*, integrating 10,000 mu of planting base and farming resources, and continuing to strengthen the regional public brand of "Shizhu *Coptis chinensis*", it builds a triple value system of "geographical indication + agricultural cultural heritage + national top 100 brands", and strives to create a tourist destination integrating traditional Chinese medicine culture, ecological sightseeing, and health care experience.
Today, this "bitter *Coptis chinensis*" has become a golden business card of the traditional Chinese medicine industry in Chongqing (重庆), linking the integrated development of diversified industries. The road to comprehensive rural revitalization in Shizhu County (石柱县) is becoming wider and wider. In the next step, Shizhu County (石柱县) will deeply implement the "four major projects" of improving the quality and efficiency of *Coptis chinensis* planting, upgrading processing, cultivating brands, and building a modern circulation system, and focus on building Shizhu *Coptis chinensis* as a growing characteristic industrial cluster in the modern agricultural cluster system, promoting the high-quality development of the Shizhu *Coptis chinensis* industry, and striving to achieve a total industrial chain output value of more than 2.5 billion yuan.

The 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is being held in Belém (贝伦), the capital of Pará (帕拉) State, Brazil. Located in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, Pará State is a key region in Brazil that has been actively exploring a development path that balances development and protection in recent years, and carrying out a series of sustainable agricultural practices. Recently, this reporter visited farms, cooperatives, and related enterprises in the state to understand how local farmers, technicians, and government departments are working together to help protect the Amazon region's ecology and promote sustainable development.
Agroforestry Systems Drive Ecological Transformation
In Tomé-Açu (托梅—阿苏) City, about 180 kilometers from Belém (贝伦), large areas of agroforestry system demonstration zones are lush with greenery.
Pedro Silva (佩德罗·席尔瓦), a technician at the Tomé-Açu (托梅—阿苏) Agricultural Cooperative, told reporters that this model allows crops such as oil palm, cocoa, woody fruit trees, and economic forest trees to complement each other, which is conducive to maintaining soil fertility, reducing pests and diseases, and gradually restoring degraded land. "We are planting not only economic crops, but also a self-renewing ecological forest. Farmers no longer cut down rainforests to plant single crops, but allow the land to return to the rhythm of nature," Pedro (佩德罗) said. Currently, the cooperative is vigorously promoting this planting model to help farmers replace single-crop dependence with diversified planting, driving the ecological transformation of regional agriculture.
In Brazil, this mixed agricultural model is called the "Rainforest Agricultural System." In February of this year, Tomé-Açu's (托梅—阿苏) agroforestry system was listed as a non-material cultural heritage of Pará (帕拉) State. As vegetation coverage continues to rebound, the stability of the agricultural system continues to increase. "Agroforestry systems have greatly enhanced the resilience of agriculture to climate change," said Ernesto Suzuki (埃内斯托·铃木), a local farmer. He cited the example that the açaí tree species is very sensitive to water, but when the local area suffered a drought last year, relying on the small environment created by the agroforestry system, the yield of açaí berries remained stable.
On Combú (孔布) Island, near Belém (贝伦), 60-year-old Dona Nena (多娜·内娜) runs a chocolate workshop. Since 2006, she has been using cocoa fruits commonly found on the island to make organic chocolate, which she sells at markets in downtown Belém (贝伦) every weekend. In 2012, Nena (内娜) founded a company. With the support of the Pará (帕拉) State Federation of Agriculture and Livestock, she began to expand diversified operations. "In addition to cocoa, we also make full use of other resources on the island, such as açaí trees and cassava, to achieve stable revenue throughout the year, while helping to protect the island's biodiversity," Nena (内娜) said.
These changes in the fields are a microcosm of Brazil's efforts to promote sustainable development in the Amazon region. "Producers are gradually realizing that protecting forests is protecting the foundation of production. Environmental protection actions that were once regarded as an 'obligation' have now been integrated into the entire production and operation process," Pedro (佩德罗) said.
Green Industries Help Farmers Increase Income Steadily
The value of sustainable agriculture lies not only in the innovation of production methods, but also in confirming the symbiotic relationship between ecological protection and development progress. Farmers obtain stable livelihoods by participating in green industries, becoming an important force in protecting the Amazon rainforest.
Dendê do Pará (登帕萨) Agricultural Company in Pará (帕拉) State is an enterprise with a history of more than 30 years. In recent years, the company has encouraged landless farmers to plant oil palm and other crops by providing them with land and technical assistance, and then purchasing and processing them, which has not only increased the income of the company and farmers, but also promoted an environmentally friendly oil palm planting system. Technician Roberto (罗贝托) introduced that the company also guides farmers to intercrop cassava, watermelon, and other crops under the oil palm trees, achieving multiple harvests in one field through scientific layout. "In the past, many farmers relied on cutting firewood and reclaiming wasteland to make a living; now, through scientific planning and planting, they can increase their income on the same piece of land without having to reclaim new land," Roberto (罗贝托) said.
Local farmer Raimundo Lima (莱蒙多·利马) compares oil palm to a "green source of income for the family." Oil palm fruits can be harvested almost all year round, and farmers can obtain stable income as long as they manage them according to standards. Lima (利马) introduced that previously, the average monthly income of many landless families was less than 100 reais (1 real is approximately 1.34 yuan), "At that time, everyone had almost no stable income. Now, through scientific planting of oil palm, my family's income has increased tenfold compared to the past."
The company also cooperates with the Brazilian National Rural Training Service System to offer courses such as safe pesticide use, rural accounting, and farm management to help farmers master scientific management skills. On Combú (孔布) Island, Nena's (内娜) organic chocolate industry directly drives the employment of dozens of women. The island also relies on cocoa resources to develop ecological tourism routes, creating more job opportunities for local people. In the forests of Tomé-Açu (托梅—阿苏), the cooperative not only promotes environmentally friendly planting models and purchases primary products from farmers, but also invests in the construction of pulp, oil extraction, packaging, and other production lines to extend the industrial chain. Alberto Oppata (阿尔贝托·奥帕塔), chairman of the Tomé-Açu (托梅—阿苏) Agricultural Cooperative, introduced that the cooperative can currently produce açaí powder, cupuaçu, cocoa fruit pulp, andiroba oil, and related cosmetics and food raw materials, and its market share continues to expand. "Ecologically friendly agriculture not only revitalizes forest land, but also makes farmers' income more sustainable," Oppata (奥帕塔) said.
National Implementation of Rural Environmental Registration System
To cope with the challenges brought by climate change to agricultural production, the Brazilian government is promoting a rural environmental registration system nationwide to issue "ecological ID cards" to farms. According to regulations, all farms must declare legally required reserve areas and permanent protection areas in accordance with the law. This measure not only helps the government accurately grasp land use, but also provides basic data support for environmental monitoring and ecological restoration.
Brazil currently maintains more than 60% of its native vegetation coverage, about half of which is distributed on private land. According to Brazilian law, farms in the Amazon region must retain at least 80% of their forest area, 35% in the Cerrado region, and 20% in other regions. "Although this is a huge challenge, it demonstrates our firm commitment," Nelson Ananias (纳尔逊·阿纳尼亚斯), sustainable development coordinator of the Brazilian National Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock, told reporters that the native vegetation coverage of the Amazon biome is about 80%, a considerable part of which comes from farmers' voluntary protection.
Nelson (纳尔逊) introduced that more than 7 million agricultural land plots have been registered nationwide, "**这表明我们的发展方向是正确的**" (zhè biǎo míng wǒ men de fā zhǎn fāng xiàng shì zhèng què de - "this shows that our development direction is correct," indicating that the current path of development is the right one), and farmers have realized that complying with environmental regulations is a prerequisite for achieving stable production." He said that Brazilian agriculture has undergone profound changes in recent decades, from pursuing output growth to focusing on quality improvement, and now to sustainability as the core, "Agriculture is closely related to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and responding to climate change. We must not only ensure food supply, but also achieve green and high-quality production."
To form institutional synergy, the Brazilian government has also formulated the "Sectoral Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change and Low Carbon Emission in Agriculture (2020-2030)," which is complementary to the rural environmental registration system. The plan encourages farmers to adopt green production technologies, including restoring degraded pastures, promoting agroforestry production systems, and applying no-till technology and bio-fertilizers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Brazilian government also provides guarantees for agricultural emission reduction and ecological restoration through credit support, technical training, and scientific research cooperation. "**我们摒弃盲目扩张**" (wǒ men bǐng qì máng mù kuò zhāng - "we abandon blind expansion," moving away from unsustainable growth), and instead focus on improving production efficiency," Nelson (纳尔逊) said, "With technological empowerment, knowledge support, and responsibility, Brazil is expected to further ensure food security without destroying forests."

Recently, Rwanda and Senegal officially signed an air transport agreement, planning to expand cross-border routes and deepen cooperation in the low-altitude economy. This is one of the new measures taken by African countries to accelerate the layout of regional aviation integration. Previously, the Chinese-developed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for passenger transport, which achieved its first flight in Africa at the 2025 Africa Aviation Summit, is promoting preparations for commercial operation in Rwanda. African officials said that this will provide new opportunities for cooperation between China and Africa in the field of low-altitude economy.
In recent years, the low-altitude economy has become a new growth point for the integrated development of the global aviation industry and the digital economy. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecast, the compound annual growth rate of the African air cargo market from 2020 to 2025 is 5%, and the cargo volume in 2025 will be close to 4 million tons, and the market size is expected to exceed 6 billion US dollars. For a long time, the economic development of the African continent has faced challenges such as weak infrastructure, complex geographical environment, and insufficient coverage of public services. However, the rise of unmanned aerial vehicle technology has provided an effective way to solve the problem of public health service coverage, and has also become an important opportunity for African countries to accelerate the layout of the low-altitude economy.
As a pioneer in the development of the low-altitude economy in Africa, Rwanda became the first country in the world to officially launch a drone delivery system at the national level in 2016. Through cooperation with foreign companies, Rwanda established its first drone operation center in Muhanga, west of the capital Kigali (基加利), using fixed-wing drones to deliver blood, vaccines, and medicines to medical points in mountainous and remote areas, shortening the original transportation time of several hours or even days to about 30 minutes. Since then, Rwanda has continued to expand its scope of cooperation, build multiple distribution centers, and achieve drone route coverage in most parts of the country.
Ghana (加纳), Kenya (肯尼亚), Malawi (马拉维) and other countries have also introduced relevant models, expanding drone application scenarios from medical material distribution to agricultural plant protection, mineral exploration, humanitarian assistance and other fields, while promoting the training of local technical talents such as pilots, operation and maintenance personnel, and data analysts. Malawi is cooperating with the United Nations Children's Fund (联合国儿童基金会) to build a humanitarian drone corridor to transport medicines to rescue areas. In July, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority approved the establishment of the first controlled airspace dedicated to beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations in Konza Technopolis, providing a collaborative platform for technology testing, training, and research and development. In May, the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation of Ghana launched a project to provide 10,000 young people with digital skills training in drone operation, logistics technology, etc., to help the development of medical logistics and agricultural plant protection.
In recent years, China-Africa cooperation in the field of low-altitude economy has been strengthened, which is in line with the development needs of African countries to improve infrastructure and enhance public services. In Zambia (赞比亚), the Chinese team used drones to conduct exploration in an area of 80,000 square kilometers in the north and northeast, providing accurate information such as 3D topographic mapping and volume calculation for the mining industry; in South Africa (南非), agricultural plant protection drones from Chinese companies such as DJI Technology (大疆科技) and XAG (极飞科技) are widely used in sugarcane plantations, which are more efficient and use less pesticides than traditional manual spraying, effectively reducing the impact on the environment.
Analysts believe that the African drone industry is still in its early stages of development and faces common problems such as market fragmentation, lagging airspace regulation, shortage of professional talents, and insufficient infrastructure support. Yang Jincai (杨金才), Chairman of the World UAV Conference and President of the Shenzhen UAV Industry Association (深圳市无人机行业协会), said that Chinese companies are willing to deepen cooperation with African countries in technical exchanges, talent training and other fields to inject more vitality into China-Africa low-altitude economic cooperation.

Return to TopAccording to Xinhua News Agency, Paris, November 11th (Reporter Qiao Benxiao (乔本孝)) - Palestinian President Abbas (阿巴斯) stated during his visit to France on November 11th that the Palestinian National Authority will abide by its reform commitments, and the drafting of the Palestinian constitution, election law, and political party law is nearing completion.
Abbas (阿巴斯) made the above statement at a press conference after meeting with French President Macron (马克龙). Abbas (阿巴斯) reiterated that presidential and parliamentary elections will be organized after the end of the fighting in the Gaza Strip. He also called on Israel to recognize the State of Palestine.
Macron (马克龙) stated at the press conference that long-term stability in the Middle East depends on the implementation of the "two-state solution," and France is willing to provide assistance to the State of Palestine in this regard. Macron (马克龙) condemned Israel's continued expansion of settlements in the West Bank, pointing out that this act violates international law.
Earlier that day, the French newspaper *Le Figaro* published an exclusive interview with Abbas (阿巴斯). Abbas (阿巴斯) spoke of the necessity of disarming the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) (巴勒斯坦伊斯兰抵抗运动（哈马斯）), stating that Palestine will only have one armed force, namely the Palestinian National Army.

French police recently arrested five more suspects in the Louvre Museum robbery case in the Paris region, bringing the total number of suspects arrested in the case to seven. However, police did not find the stolen eight pieces of jewelry in this large-scale search. French Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau said, "The investigation is making progress," and there is no evidence that the criminals received help from "accomplices" inside the museum, but it cannot be ruled out that the criminal gang is much larger than the four perpetrators captured by surveillance cameras.
The French Louvre Museum reopened to the public on the third day after the theft of cultural relics. The reporter saw at the scene that the police force around the Louvre has been increased for day and night patrols, but the Apollo Gallery, where the robbery occurred, is temporarily closed, waiting for the security system to be upgraded. According to the official notification from the Paris Prosecutor's Office, the Louvre robbery on October 19 resulted in the theft of nine precious jewels from the Napoleonic period, one of which was lost and damaged when the suspect fled, and the remaining eight are still missing. The preliminary estimate of economic losses is 88 million euros, and the historical and cultural value of the stolen cultural relics is even more difficult to measure. French police said that key clues such as biological evidence have been extracted from the scene of the crime, and 60 full-time investigators are fully promoting the investigation of the case. French media believe that this case exposes the loopholes in the French museum security system and sounds the alarm for the protection of global cultural heritage.
Laurence des Cars, director of the French Louvre Museum, recently admitted at a hearing held by the French Senate on the Louvre robbery that the museum failed to detect the arrival of the robbers in advance. Perimeter protection is a weak link in the Louvre's security. The surveillance cameras on the outer walls of the building have long suffered from problems such as aging equipment and a serious lack of quantity, and cannot cover all facades, including the Apollo Gallery side. Des Cars introduced that the Louvre launched a security upgrade plan in 2021, intending to update the video surveillance and intrusion detection system, but the plan had not yet entered the substantive construction stage at the time of the incident. At the beginning of this year, the French government's "Louvre New Renaissance" 10-year development plan included security modernization and other content, but the relevant plan is still in the early stage of advancement and has not formed actual protection capabilities.
After the incident, French President Emmanuel Macron (马克龙) requested at a cabinet meeting to "make up for the shortcomings of the Louvre's security as soon as possible," and instructed the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of the Interior to take joint action. The two departments then jointly issued a notice to local governments in France, requiring them to complete the investigation of potential safety hazards in cultural venues such as large museums and key historical sites across the country before November 15, and submit rectification reports. At present, the Louvre has temporarily dispatched 50 additional police officers to implement 24-hour patrols, and has simultaneously launched the installation of a new generation of high-definition monitoring equipment and infrared intrusion detection systems. The construction of a central security command center has also been put on the agenda. Regarding the proposal to establish a permanent police station in the Louvre, the French Ministry of the Interior stated that it would provide a specific plan within one month.
The Louvre robbery is not an isolated case in France. Since September this year, four cultural relic theft cases have occurred in succession at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, the Adrien Dubouché National Porcelain Museum in Limoges (利摩日阿德里安·杜布谢国家陶瓷博物馆), and other places in France, with economic losses exceeding one million US dollars, and the loss of cultural heritage value is immeasurable. On the same day as the Louvre robbery, a small museum in France was also stolen, and about 2,000 gold and silver coins were stolen. French Minister of Culture Rima Abdul Malak (拉茜达·达蒂) told the media that the annual transaction volume of the international illegal cultural relic trade market exceeds 1 billion US dollars, and high profits drive organized crime groups to turn their targets to museums, while the insufficient protection capabilities of some cultural institutions give criminals an opportunity. French cultural relic expert Fabien told reporters that to prevent the theft of cultural relics, it is not only necessary to strengthen security forces, but also to increase the crackdown on cultural relic smuggling and illegal transactions, and implement the registration, traceability and international recovery mechanism of stolen cultural relics. "Museum security is not just a matter of access control and cameras, but also a matter of legislation and law enforcement systems."
"Every cultural relic is a shared historical memory of mankind, and its loss is an irreversible cultural loss." The International Council of Museums pointed out in a press release that strengthening museum security is a common issue for the global museum community, calling on museums around the world to work together to improve protection capabilities, establish information sharing and collaboration mechanisms, and jointly respond to increasingly complex cultural heritage security challenges.
Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Paris, November 12th (Reporter Cui Kexin (崔可欣)) The International Energy Agency's report, "World Energy Outlook 2025," released on the 12th, states that approximately 730 million people worldwide still lack access to electricity, and climate risks are increasingly severe.
The report states that the world has not yet met its targets in terms of energy accessibility and addressing climate change. However, the report also points out that if the world achieves net-zero emissions by the middle of this century, the long-term warming range can still be controlled within 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The report also explores future energy development trends. In the report's preset scenario, the growth rate of electricity demand far exceeds the overall energy usage. The explosive growth of electricity demand brought about by data centers and artificial intelligence is mainly concentrated in developed economies and China. Renewable energy, represented by solar photovoltaics, has the fastest growth rate in demand. China will maintain its position as the world's largest renewable energy market. Nuclear energy is expected to recover, and it is estimated that by 2035, the global installed nuclear power capacity will increase by at least 1/3. In the short term, the global supply of oil and natural gas is generally sufficient, but geopolitical risks remain.
The International Energy Agency calls on countries to accelerate the diversification of their energy mix, deepen international cooperation, and address future uncertainties and risks.

Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recently released demographic statistics showing that the number of newborns in Japan (excluding foreign residents) in the first half of 2025 was approximately 319,000, a year-on-year decrease of 3.3%. Statistics released by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in August of this year show that as of the beginning of this year, Japan's population (excluding foreign residents) has decreased for 16 consecutive years, with a total population of approximately 120.65 million, a decrease of approximately 908,000 from the beginning of 2024, and the decrease is the highest since statistics began in 1968.
The statistics released by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications show that in 2024, the number of births in Japan hit a new record low, and the number of deaths hit a new high. From the perspective of population distribution and structure, only Tokyo (东京都) has seen an increase in population among administrative divisions, with an increase of 0.13%; in terms of age, the proportion of the elderly population aged 65 and above reached 29.58%, and the proportion of the working-age population aged 15 to 64 reached 59.04%. Both figures increased compared with the same period last year, and the trend of declining birthrate and aging population has further solidified. Kyodo News commented that the main reason for the decrease in newborns is the further increase in the trend of unmarried, late marriage, and late childbearing in Japanese society. Although the Japanese government has proposed "unprecedented measures to counter the declining birthrate," the results have been limited.
The declining birthrate is bringing multiple impacts to Japan's economy and society. The latest research shows that by 2040, Japan's labor shortage may exceed 11 million, and shortages in labor-intensive industries such as transportation, construction, and healthcare will be the most prominent. Seiichi Matsumoto (松本清一), the founder of Osaka (大阪) Bearing Processing Company, admitted frankly: "It has become increasingly difficult to recruit workers in recent years, and the average age of employees is relatively high. The oldest is 79 years old; even if we are willing to hire new graduates, the number of people we can recruit is very small." The imbalance in the population structure has also increased the burden on the working population. Keiichi Kataya (加谷珪一), a Japanese economic commentator, introduced that the country currently has more than 36 million elderly people aged 65 and above, and it is estimated that in 2025, an average of 1.9 working-age people aged 15 to 64 will need to support one elderly person.
Faced with the population crisis, local governments in Japan are exploring different response paths. Akashi City (明石市) in Hyogo Prefecture (兵库县) has achieved double growth in total population and tax revenue by continuously introducing childcare support policies. According to the person in charge of the city, the local area has gradually improved its guarantee measures over the years, and preferential policies have attracted many families to move in, driving the increase in local tax revenues such as municipal tax, property tax, and corporate tax. Kari Tanimizu (谷水加里), who works as a nurse in Kobe (神户市), recently moved her family to Akashi City (明石市). She said: "The childcare policies here have been a great help. Although the commute time has become longer, it is worth it."
Currently, Japan faces many difficulties in dealing with the declining birthrate at the national level. *Asahi Shimbun* (《朝日新闻》) commented that the current social security system concentrates the burden of contributions on the working population, and the burden on low- and middle-income earners is heavier than that on high-income earners. "More reasonable measures should be introduced to form a concept of the whole society supporting childcare." An article in *Toyo Keizai* (《东洋经济》) believes that in addition to cash subsidies, priority should be given to solving social welfare, employment, and economic problems.

Return to TopAccording to Xinhua News Agency, Caracas, November 11th, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro (马杜罗) signed the "Comprehensive Defense Command Law" on the 11th and ordered the establishment of multiple integrated defense commands composed of citizens, soldiers, and government officials to deal with possible "armed conflicts."
Maduro (马杜罗) said when signing the bill: "All integrated defense commands must be launched at dawn on (the 12th). These commands integrate all public institutions, the army, and all the people's strength of Venezuela (委内瑞拉)."
Earlier that day, the Venezuelan National Assembly (委内瑞拉全国代表大会) passed the "Comprehensive Defense Command Law" with a majority vote. The law establishes the joint responsibility of the Venezuelan state and citizens in the face of any type of threat, aiming to ensure that comprehensive defense-related work can be planned, coordinated, and executed in an orderly manner, especially to ensure the cooperation between the people and the armed forces of Venezuela (委内瑞拉).

Currently, the green coverage rate of built-up areas in cities across the country exceeds 43%, and urban residents can "see green when they open their windows and enter parks when they go out," making a fresh environment tangible and accessible. Various regions are working hard to make cities greener and more beautiful, continuously meeting the people's growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment.

Fuzhou (福州), Fujian Province (福建省), implements the "Green Enters Every Home, Green Fills Rongcheng" campaign——
Millennial Banyan Trees Continue the City's Memory
By Our Reporter Liu Xiaoyu (刘晓宇)
In Fuzhou National Forest Park (福州国家森林公园), the crown of a thousand-year-old banyan tree covers an area of 1,300 square meters. The spectacle of a "single tree forming a forest" attracts many citizens and tourists every day. "I am 70 years old and have been practicing Tai Chi under this tree for 30 years. It is like an old friend, witnessing the changes in this city," said Chen Guoqiang (陈国强), a resident of Xindian Town (新店镇), Jin'an District (晋安区), Fuzhou (福州市), Fujian Province (福建省).
Fuzhou (福州) is also known as "Banyan City" (榕城). Lu Meisong (卢美松), former curator of the Fujian Provincial Research Institute of Culture and History (福建省文史研究馆), said: "During the Northern Song Dynasty (北宋), Zhang Boyu (张伯玉), the prefect of Fuzhou (福州知州), advocated 'planting banyan trees by household.' For thousands of years, banyan trees have been closely connected to the lives of the people of Fuzhou (福州), forming a unique banyan tree culture." According to data from the Fuzhou Gardening Center (福州市园林中心), there are currently 1,327 registered ancient banyan trees in Fuzhou (福州), with a total of over 160,000 banyan trees throughout the city.
"Making way for trees" is the norm in Fuzhou's (福州) urban construction. "Over the years, Fuzhou (福州) has incorporated banyan tree protection into its urban construction plans, achieving a win-win situation for ecological protection and urban development," said Xie Zhicheng (谢志成), director of the Fuzhou Gardening Center (福州市园林中心). In 2017, Fuzhou (福州) promulgated and implemented the "Fuzhou Municipal Regulations on Garden Greening Management" (《福州市园林绿化管理条例》), which specifically established clauses for banyan tree protection; in 2020, the "Fuzhou Municipal Measures for the Protection and Management of Ancient and Famous Trees" (《福州市城市古树名木保护管理办法》) were introduced, providing legal guarantees for the protection of ancient banyan trees.
During the construction of Fuzhou Metro Line 2 (福州地铁2号线), in order to protect a century-old banyan tree located in Nanmendou (南门兜), the construction party repeatedly modified the design plan to bypass it. According to statistics from the Fuzhou Forestry Bureau (福州市林业局), in the past 5 years, Fuzhou (福州) has adjusted its planning and design 47 times in urban construction to protect banyan trees.
In the Zhuzifang Historical and Cultural Block (朱紫坊历史文化街区), a small white instrument hangs on an ancient banyan tree that is over 800 years old. "This is a tree mechanics sensor, which can monitor the inclination and growth of the tree in real time," said Li Min (李敏), a senior engineer at the Fuzhou Institute of Garden Science (福州市园林科学研究院).
In order to protect the health of ancient banyan trees, since January 2024, Fuzhou (福州) has equipped each ancient banyan tree with a dedicated manager and has established a "smart garden" system using Internet of Things technology for all-weather monitoring and protection. "We have also developed banyan tree rejuvenation technology, using measures such as soil improvement, tree hole repair, and tree support to revitalize old banyan trees," Li Min (李敏) said, pointing to an ancient banyan tree in Sanfang Qixiang (三坊七巷) that had been repaired. "This tree was almost withered due to pests and diseases, but after three years of careful treatment, it is now sprouting new buds."
"Banyan trees not only beautify the city, but also have significant ecological benefits," said Chen Cunji (陈存及), a professor at the School of Forestry of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University (福建农林大学林学院). "A mature banyan tree can absorb about 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide and release about 1 ton of oxygen every year. It can also absorb harmful gases, reduce noise, and regulate the climate."
Banyan Tree Museum (榕树博物馆), Banyan Tree Culture Festival (榕树文化节), banyan tree-themed cultural and creative products... Fuzhou (福州) deeply explores the cultural connotation of banyan trees, making ancient trees and famous trees an important carrier for telling the city's stories. In the Yantai Mountain Historical Area (烟台山历史风貌区), several ancient banyan trees complement the old buildings, becoming a popular spot for internet celebrities. "We combine banyan tree protection with cultural heritage protection, so that natural landscapes and human history complement each other," said the person in charge of the historical area protection and development project.
In the evening, in Fuzhou Hot Spring Park (福州温泉公园), citizens walk, play chess, and sing Min opera under the banyan trees. "There used to be only a few old banyan trees here, but now a park has been built, the greening is better, and our activity space is also larger," said Grandpa Lin (林大爷), a nearby resident.
Fuzhou (福州) is implementing the "Green Enters Every Home, Green Fills Rongcheng" campaign, building banyan tree-themed parks and small street green spaces in accordance with local conditions through methods such as leaving blank spaces for greening and demolishing illegal buildings for greening. As of the end of 2024, there were over 1,500 parks in the city, with a per capita park green area of 15.97 square meters, and the city's green space continues to expand.
Standing in front of the sand table in the Fuzhou Urban Planning Exhibition Hall (福州城市规划馆), Li Jing (李菁), deputy director of the Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning (福州市自然资源和规划局), pointed to the green blocks and introduced: "In future urban planning, we have specifically delineated banyan tree protection lines and built ecological corridors to connect banyan tree groups to form a complete ecosystem." According to relevant plans, by 2035, the green coverage rate in the central urban area of Fuzhou (福州) will reach over 45%, and the coverage rate of parks, green spaces, and squares within a 5-minute walk will reach over 98%.
Chongqing (重庆) Continuously Enhances Forest Ecological Functions——
Let Citizens Truly Enjoy Ecological Dividends
By Our Reporter Liu Xinwu (刘新吾)
Walking into Tieshanping Forest Park (铁山坪森林公园), located in the central urban area of Chongqing (重庆), different types of trees are scattered at varying heights, and the forest is filled with the crisp chirping of birds.
"This place is like a natural 'oxygen bar.' I come here to exercise every day. I often see squirrels scurrying through the forest, and sometimes I can even see the leisurely figures of white cranes," said Liu Lanxin (刘兰馨), a hiking enthusiast, by the side of Mixiang Lake (觅香湖).
In the past, the mountains of Tieshanping Forest Park (铁山坪森林公园) were mostly covered with Masson pines, the forest landscape was relatively monotonous, and it was often plagued by pine wilt disease and other pests and diseases, and it was also prone to forest fires.
In 2016, the Tieshanping Mixiang Lake Ecological Protection and Restoration Project (铁山坪觅香湖生态保护修复项目) was launched, implementing forest landscape transformation over an area of more than 1,000 mu, forming a multi-forest type, multi-tree species, multi-color, and multi-layered forest landscape structure, and continuously enhancing the ecological functions of the forest.
"In layman's terms, the forest landscape is the 'external appearance of the forest'," it is said that the Mixiang Lake (觅香湖) area adopts a mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest, a mixed arbor-shrub layer, comprehensive cultivation, and replanting in open spaces to gradually enrich the original forest structure.
The upper arbor layer is dominated by pine and fir, supplemented by broad-leaved fire-resistant trees such as Schima superba and Phoebe zhennan, mixed with ornamental broad-leaved trees such as Taxodium ascendens and Magnolia grandiflora; the middle shrub layer is planted with colorful plants such as azaleas and camellia balls; the lower layer is planted with shade-tolerant, insect-resistant, and flame-retardant ground cover plants... More than 1,000 arbors and more than 100,000 ground cover plants have taken root here, greatly improving the forest's ability to conserve water and soil, prevent fire and insects.
Spring flowers and autumn leaves, summer shade and winter green, after ecological restoration, a forest landscape system with distinct seasons and rich colors has been formed, allowing citizens to truly enjoy ecological dividends and feel the beauty of nature.
From monotonous pine waves to lush trees, Tieshanping Forest Park (铁山坪森林公园) is a vivid practice of scientific greening and precise cultivation.
For planting and supplementing greenery, three points depend on planting, and seven points depend on management and protection.
"The transformation of this azalea garden is a typical example," said Li Zaichun (李再春), an expert in charge of plant management and protection in Tieshanping Forest Park (铁山坪森林公园). "In previous years, the branches of these azaleas continued to wither, and even died in patches, which made everyone very anxious."
"Now, we take samples of the soil and plants for testing and a comprehensive 'physical examination'," Li Zaichun (李再春) said, gently parting the roots of a clump of azaleas, "You see, by applying special phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to treat the symptoms, and then cooperating with all-weather monitoring and dynamic maintenance, the entire garden has come back to life. Every spring, the azaleas bloom in competition, which is very spectacular."
Behind the lush vegetation is the strong support of a complete set of intelligent maintenance systems.
Soil testing, climate analysis, plant conditions, drought resistance risks... Relying on the intelligent sensors buried under the trees, all data is transmitted to the background in real time, generating digital health records of plants, and building a complete chain maintenance system of "hidden danger investigation, scientific evaluation, and precise policy implementation."
"Once the background detects that the soil moisture content is lower than 15%, it will also push a warning and automatically turn on the intelligent sprinkler irrigation equipment to accurately irrigate the plants in the area," Li Zaichun (李再春) said.
From manual patrol to intelligent monitoring, from extensive maintenance to refined cultivation, Tieshanping Forest Park (铁山坪森林公园) has comprehensively built a solid ecological barrier. Data shows that the forest coverage rate of Tieshanping Forest Park (铁山坪森林公园) reaches more than 90%, the biodiversity protection effect is obvious, there are more than 800 species of animals and plants, and it attracts more than 2 million tourists every year.
Chongqing (重庆) actively promotes forest replanting and greening, and through the scientific greening path of "introducing species by region and planting trees according to function", it cultivates and thins natural forests and artificial forests, and takes various methods such as degraded forest restoration, replanting and replanting, and planting greenery in every available space to create woodlands with significant functions. Since 2021, Chongqing's (重庆) forest coverage rate has remained stable at more than 55%. In the past three years, Chongqing (重庆) has completed a total of 9.65 million mu of forest quality improvement, and the forest's ecological function and economic value have continued to increase.
Guiyang (贵阳), Guizhou Province (贵州省), Builds Pocket Parks——
"A Small Place, a Garden of Happiness"
By Our Reporter Su Bin (苏滨)
Fine rain drizzles, sliding down the branches and leaves, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. After breakfast, Yang Fucai (杨福才), 69, puts up an umbrella and takes a walk in Qiaosong Garden (乔松园) at the entrance of the community. This is a pocket park with "Qiaosong" as its theme. Since the day it was built, Yang Fucai (杨福才) has been accustomed to strolling in the park.
Yang Fucai (杨福才) lives in Tingtaoyuan Community (听涛园小区), Jinyang Street (金阳街道), Guanshanhu District (观山湖区), Guiyang (贵阳), Guizhou Province (贵州省). The entrance was originally a barren slope, piled with construction waste and debris, breeding mosquitoes and emitting odors. He had been walking around it for more than 20 years since he moved into the community.
"In recent years, pocket parks have been built near many communities around. The residents of our community have also called for a place to walk, relax, and get close to nature at our doorstep." In April last year, Yang Fucai (杨福才) heard good news that the pocket park in Tingtaoyuan Community (听涛园小区) officially started construction, covering an area of 2,500 square meters.
"After conducting on-site research and fully soliciting the opinions of community residents, we decided to focus on retaining the 16 Masson pines on the barren slope, optimizing and adjusting other vegetation, and selecting more than 50 kinds of plants such as azaleas, Magnolia liliiflora, Agapanthus africanus, and Vernicia fordii to ensure that there are flowers in all seasons and a different view at every step," said Wang Xing (王兴), head of the Planning and Design Section of the Urban Greening Construction and Management Office of the Guanshanhu District Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau (观山湖区综合行政执法局城市园林绿化建设管理处). He also introduced that they also hired landscape gardening experts to demonstrate and improve the construction plan of Qiaosong Garden (乔松园), carefully planned and scientifically built it, and truly improved the quality of life of the surrounding residents. In early August this year, 8 large Ligularia japonica were also replanted on a slope in Qiaosong Garden (乔松园) to achieve the effect of shading and protecting the slope and embellishing the slope.
With the development of the city, green space is becoming increasingly tight. Guanshanhu District (观山湖区) has transformed urban corners into functional and landscape-rich pocket parks through planting greenery in every available space and increasing greenery to expand greenery, increasing the city's green content.
"After the pocket park is built, we arrange special personnel to carry out personalized maintenance and management according to the principle of one flower, one scene, and one park, one policy, to achieve from 'increasing green' to 'evergreen', so that the landscape effect can be maintained for a long time," Wang Xing (王兴) said. After each pocket park is built and opened, relevant departments in Guanshanhu District (观山湖区) insist on returning to visit, understanding the satisfaction of citizens, and collecting feedback and suggestions, and applying good ideas to the construction of the next pocket park. "For example, some citizens previously suggested adding benches, which we have adopted and installed in Qiaosong Garden (乔松园)."
"According to the overall planning of the city, we build a model of 'government-led, social collaboration, and citizen participation' to achieve the co-construction and sharing of pocket parks. We also take the construction of urban greenways as an opportunity to string pocket parks into chains. At present, the per capita park green area in Guanshanhu District (观山湖区) has reached 17.42 square meters, which is higher than the national average," said Liu Xiaowei (刘小伟), secretary of the Party Committee of the Guanshanhu District Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau (观山湖区综合行政执法局).
Mountains stand in the city, and forests grow in the city. As the first "National Forest City" in the country, Guiyang (贵阳) takes urban garden planning as the lead and comprehensively evaluates urban green space resources based on data such as population density, traffic flow, and land use status. Through careful site selection, it creates pocket parks that citizens look forward to, increasing citizens' sense of green gain and ecological happiness.
As of now, Guiyang (贵阳) has built 225 pocket parks and a 374-kilometer-long ring forest belt, and the city's forest coverage rate has reached 55.3%, basically achieving "seeing green when you open the window and entering the park when you go out."
"A small place, a garden of happiness." Gong Tao (龚涛), deputy director of the Guiyang Municipal Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau (贵阳市综合行政执法局), said that Guiyang (贵阳) will be guided by the needs of citizens, use the corners and under-bridge spaces vacated by urban renewal to build another 5 pocket parks, focusing on filling the green blind spots in the old city and improving the quality of landscape greening, using "small pockets" to hold "big happiness" and achieve the mutual integration and complementation of nature and humanities.

At the Central Urban Work Conference held in July this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) told a story: During the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Boyu (张伯玉), the prefect of Fuzhou (福州), advocated "registering households to plant banyan trees" (编户植榕), and after many years, the city was full of green shade and the summer heat was blocked.
When working in Fuzhou (福州), Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) encouraged everyone to know, love, and protect banyan trees, and personally planted them. In a postscript to "Let Banyan Trees Benefit Fuzhou City" (让榕树造福榕城), Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) wrote: "A modern city needs green to embellish it."
Trees in the city enhance people's well-being, witness development and changes, and also precipitate historical culture, entrusting strong nostalgia.
Data shows that the green coverage rate of built-up areas in cities across the country exceeds 43%, and the per capita park green area has increased to 15.91 square meters. Cities such as Beijing (北京), Shanghai (上海), and Shenzhen (深圳) have built "cities of a thousand parks." High-quality greening improves the urban living environment and continuously improves the quality of life of the people.
Urban greening is an important part of the urban ecosystem, playing an irreplaceable role in improving the urban climate, purifying the air, and regulating humidity. The effectiveness of urban greening work is related to the high-quality development of the city and the vital interests of the people.
To make the city green and beautiful, the key is to respect the laws of nature and follow a scientific, ecological, and economical green development path. China has a vast territory, and the climatic conditions and geographical environment vary from place to place. Scientific tree selection and scientific tree planting can better meet the requirements of the biological chain and ecological chain. Adhering to adapting to local conditions, scientific planning, and selecting native tree species suitable for the local climate and soil can build a healthy, stable, and functional urban ecosystem. Urban space is precious, and we must make full use of abandoned land, marginal land, and spaces around houses to plant green where there is space, fill green where there are illegal constructions, and create vertical greening, expanding green space through "micro-renovation." At the same time, we must adhere to the principle of saving first and acting according to our capabilities, taking into account ecological rationality and economic feasibility. We must not "only focus on landscaping," let alone blindly follow the trend, and resolutely correct the short-sighted behavior of "large trees entering the city."
Urban greening is not only an ecological project but also a livelihood project. We must adhere to a people-centered approach and continuously enhance the people's sense of ecological and environmental gain, happiness, and security. Rizhao (日照), Shandong (山东) built the Sunshine Coast Greenway, providing a good place for citizens to exercise and relax; 85% of the parks in Shanghai (上海) are open 24 hours a day, allowing citizens to enjoy the greenery and embrace nature at any time... From large-scale urban parks and greenways to exquisite pocket parks and small green spaces, "seeing green when you open the window, having shade when you walk, and entering the park when you go out" has gradually become the daily life experience of urban residents. Planting green on the land and sowing green in the heart, the idea that "increasing green is increasing advantages, and planting trees is planting the future" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the atmosphere of loving green, planting green, and protecting green has become a social trend.
As an important part of urban greening, ancient and famous trees are "living cultural relics" and play an important role in the inheritance of urban civilization and the continuation of cultural context. Shamian Ancient Tree Park (沙面古树公园) in Guangzhou (广州), Guangdong (广东) relies on 137 ancient tree resources to improve the ancient tree science popularization system and launch ancient tree markets and classrooms to fully explore the historical and cultural connotations; Changsha (长沙), Hunan (湖南) carried out the "Protecting Ancient and Famous Trees of the Ancient City's Years" activity, releasing four themed routes of "Changsha Ancient and Famous Trees Ecological Tour" to vividly tell the story of "trees and the city"... Many cities have created various forms of ancient and famous tree theme parks and held ancient tree culture festivals to better exert the historical, ecological, and cultural value of ancient and famous trees, and explore feasible ways to organically combine ecological protection, historical inheritance, and urban development.
Green development is a distinct feature of Chinese-style modernization, and modern cities need green to embellish them. Adhering to the principle that the people build the city and the city is for the people, and unswervingly following the path of ecological priority and green development, the city will become a beautiful home where people and nature coexist harmoniously, allowing the people to share the beauty of nature, the beauty of life, and the beauty of life.

"A city is built by the people and for the people." The Central Urban Work Conference held in July this year emphasized "earnestly practicing the people-centered urban development concept" and "blazing a new path of urban modernization with Chinese characteristics." Recently, Shanghai's practice of the people-centered urban development concept and its overall solution to the problem of residents using chamber pots ("拎马桶") has sparked heated discussions. We invited members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协) in related fields to conduct discussions and put forward opinions and suggestions on how to better practice the people-centered urban development concept, promote urban construction with "embroidered-like precision," and continuously improve the modernization level of urban governance.

Zhou Hanmin (周汉民), Standing Committee Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协常委) and former Vice Chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (上海市政协原副主席)
Fan Sheling (范社岭), Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协委员) and Deputy Chairman of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the China National Democratic Construction Association (民建河北省委副主委)

Zhang Junping (张军萍), Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协委员) and Full-time Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Kangcheng Community, Xinzhuang Town, Minhang District, Shanghai (上海市闵行区莘庄镇康城社区党委专职副书记)
The effectiveness of urban grassroots governance lies not in the size of the project, but in whether it can accurately solve the urgent problems of the masses.
[Background] After completing the historic task of renovating old areas in 2022 and solving the problem of concentrated chamber pots, Shanghai has completed the renovation task of 6,493 households using chamber pots ahead of schedule this year after two years of tackling key points. By the end of September, Shanghai had basically completed the task of renovating chamber pots.
Zhou Hanmin (周汉民): The city is a place where people live in concentrated areas, and urban construction must put people's livability and settlement first. The "chamber pot" seems to be a trivial matter, but it measures the scale of urban civilization and marks the temperature of the people's city. In the construction of a people's city, we must start with the details, listen carefully to the voices of the masses, and use the spirit of nailing nails to accomplish practical things for the people's livelihood, so that more citizens can feel the warmth of the city.
Taking elderly care services as an example, Shanghai has entered a deeply aging society. Elderly care services, a key small matter, carries one of the urgent problems that the people are most concerned about. We should be problem-oriented, identify needs, turn the citizens' needs list into a development list, and rationally plan around facility layout, supply levels, and quality of elderly care, paying attention to age-appropriate design and humanized services. For example, we must not only promote the development of elderly care institutions, but also develop community-embedded elderly care services; we must not only strengthen the construction of talent teams in the elderly care industry, but also create a smart elderly care service platform. From day care centers and elderly meal assistance canteens to one-stop comprehensive elderly care service centers in communities, from 24-hour emergency call platforms to technology-assisted elderly care service stations... If the effort is put into the details, the people will feel it more truly.
Zhang Junping (张军萍): The effectiveness of urban grassroots governance lies not in the size of the project, but in whether it can accurately solve the urgent problems of the masses. It is recommended to take the hot issues of people's livelihood that the masses are concerned about, such as property selection and employment, the use of maintenance funds, the installation of elevators, and the management of parking difficulties, as important breakthroughs, and to deepen the articles on people's livelihood in small cuts. These things seem trivial, but they are directly related to the people's sense of happiness. We should establish a precise demand discovery and response mechanism, and ensure that good things are done practically and well through refined program design, high-standard construction management, and full participation and supervision of the masses, truly making up for the shortcomings in people's livelihood and allowing the broad masses of people to share the warmth and convenience of the city.
At the same time, we should attach importance to the use of digital and intelligent means to empower grassroots governance and accelerate the construction of a smart community platform that integrates refined management, convenient services, and positive interaction. For example, for the use and supervision of maintenance funds, with the help of refined management and information technology, every maintenance item and every fund flow should be clearly traceable, open and transparent, so that residents can understand and feel at ease.
Carefully create a warm city and constantly meet the diverse expectations of the masses.
[Background] Cities carry the people's yearning for a better life. Beijing (北京) is accelerating the construction of a 15-minute convenient living circle to meet the high-quality and diversified needs of citizens; Guangzhou (广州), Guangdong (广东) is promoting the renewal of historical and cultural blocks in accordance with local conditions to retain the city's memory and nostalgia; Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江) is strengthening the construction of a youth-development-oriented city to help young people better integrate into the city... In recent years, various places have continued to focus on the needs of the masses and continuously meet the people's growing needs for a better life.
Zhou Quan (周荃): To practice the people-centered urban development concept, urban planning work needs to pay more attention to people-oriented principles. The development of the city needs to pay more attention to people's needs and sense of happiness. Future urban construction should be carefully crafted, fully considering the city's industrial characteristics, climate characteristics, regional characteristics, history, culture, and customs, and create distinctive city cards.
Improve urban planning methods, and planning should more dynamically and effectively reflect the diversified needs of the people. Urban planning content should pay attention to operation, and take operation as an important part of planning, not only focusing on the optimization of urban spatial structure, but also paying attention to the operational effect of content. The operational effect needs to consider whether it is conducive to increasing residents' sense of happiness, whether it is conducive to increasing urban vitality, and whether it is conducive to increasing public fiscal revenue.
In the process of urban renewal, it is recommended to pay attention to the protection and revitalization of historical and cultural heritage, highlight local characteristics, inherit and continue the city's culture, so that the city's unique cultural genes can be preserved and developed, so that the city can leave memories and people can retain nostalgia. Adhere to the principle of protection first, and the government should take the lead in promoting cross-professional and cross-industry cooperation in operation, finance, planning, and construction, pay more attention to the revitalization and utilization of urban history and culture, make greater contributions to enhancing the city's economic vitality, and create more jobs. Focusing on the particularity of historical buildings and blocks, we should improve relevant laws, regulations, and technical standards as soon as possible. Innovate models, accelerate the use of market-oriented mechanisms, explore the implementation of multi-entity cooperative development, and accelerate the formation of new economic growth points for the revitalization and utilization of urban history and culture.
Zhang Junping (张军萍): The governance of megacities has the characteristics of large population mobility and diverse residents' needs, and community governance also has greater complexity. How to improve the equalization and quality of community public services and solve the problem of "good or bad" focuses on the word "precision." Taking Kangcheng Community (康城社区), where I have served for many years, as an example, in recent years, in promoting major community matters such as property selection and renewal and project management, the community party organization asked legal counsel to intervene as soon as possible to avoid possible legal risks and legal disputes; the introduction of third-party professional forces to give practical guidance throughout the process, and preemptively resolve potential conflicts and risks, has achieved good results.
It is recommended that urban governors continue to promote the extension of public resources to the grassroots level, provide more diverse and higher-quality public service products, especially to pay attention to the needs of key groups such as the elderly and children, so that development results can be more fairly shared by all residents. Communities at the grassroots level can establish detailed resident needs files, integrate community resources, and explore and improve the online and offline convenient service model. Offline, optimize the functions of the community affairs acceptance and service center to promote service sinking; online, use community clouds, WeChat groups, and other platforms to release information and connect needs in a timely manner.
Widely gather wisdom and synergy to improve urban governance effectiveness.
[Background] At the People's Congress Representative Liaison Station, People's Congress representatives listen to the voices of the people, gather their wisdom, and solve their problems, so that the people's expectations can be fulfilled and responded to; various consultation activities held by People's Political Consultative Conferences at all levels reach a consensus on solving problems through dialogue; the 12345 Citizen Service Hotline responds to one pain point of people's livelihood and one blockage point of governance... As the concept of "a city is built by the people and for the people" becomes more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, all parties are widely involved in urban construction, contributing wisdom and strength to improving the modernization level of urban governance.
Fan Sheling (范社岭): Urban governance is a complex system project. To improve the effectiveness of urban governance, we should fully respect the main position of citizens. It is recommended that the government, enterprises, citizens, and other multiple entities work together to promote urban governance towards scientific, refined, and intelligent development.
Build a normalized and multi-level public participation platform. At the major decision-making level, such as urban master plans, key infrastructure construction, and key people's livelihood projects, public opinions should be widely absorbed through special hearings, online government consultations, and other forms. Optimize the functions of the government affairs platform and lower the threshold for public participation; build a closed-loop processing mechanism of "acceptance-transfer-handling-feedback-evaluation" and disclose the handling progress and results to the proposer and the society. Guide market forces to participate in governance, and attract enterprises to exert their professional advantages in the fields of smart transportation, garbage classification, and community services through government procurement of services, franchise operations, and other methods, forming a collaborative governance pattern of "government guidance, enterprise participation, and public benefit."
Establish a citizen evaluation mechanism for the effectiveness of urban governance, and conduct regular public opinion surveys on governance effectiveness to force the implementation of governance responsibilities. Give full play to the bridging role of People's Congress representatives and People's Political Consultative Conference members, regularly receive the masses, and collect social conditions and public opinions. In addition, improve the incentive mechanism, and commend and reward citizens who put forward constructive opinions and are adopted, volunteers who actively participate in public welfare services, and enterprises that perform outstandingly in urban services, to further stimulate the endogenous power of all sectors of society to participate in urban governance.
Zhou Hanmin (周汉民): The core of the city is people. We must ask the people for advice, ask the people for their needs, and ask the people for effectiveness, actively build a pattern of "everyone participates, everyone is responsible, everyone contributes, and everyone shares," and explore a new path for the modernization of urban governance.
Taking the "One Network for All Government Services" (一网通办) as an example, this is one of the "key tasks" of urban governance. I have conducted many investigations on the construction of Shanghai's "One Network for All Government Services," and held discussions and exchanges with government departments, grassroots workers, enterprises, and the masses, and felt that urban construction must organically unify "for the people" and "built by the people." We must be people-oriented, and establish online and offline normalized and long-term communication mechanisms in all links such as decision-making, implementation, and evaluation, to more comprehensively, timely, and accurately understand the needs and expectations of the masses and enterprises, and continuously improve the efficiency and convenience of the "One Network for All Government Services." At the same time, we should increase publicity efforts, combine going out and bringing in, so that citizens can learn more about, feel, and participate in the construction of the "One Network for All Government Services," and create a good atmosphere of "everyone discussing matters for everyone."

Vocational education is an important front for cultivating technical and skilled personnel. Promoting the integration of industry and education in vocational education is a realistic need for promoting high-quality development and an intrinsic need for improving the quality of technical and skilled personnel. In recent years, the integration of industry and education in vocational education has been continuously advanced, and the results have been quite remarkable. However, in my research, I found that the current integration of industry and education in vocational education still has the practical problem of "many policies, weak mechanisms, and insufficient motivation" to a certain extent.
First, documents focusing on the integration of industry and education continue to be issued, and various pilot programs and institutional innovations are constantly being introduced. However, due to the diversity of policy subjects and the large number of formulation levels, the overall coordination is still insufficient. Second, enterprises, as a key link in the integration of industry and education, lack a stable return mechanism for their investment in participating in talent cultivation. In reality, they are often keen on "using people" rather than "cultivating people." In addition, many current integrations of industry and education are still in the "project-based operation + government promotion" model, driven by the implementation of special projects promoted by the government. Some industry-education consortia and communities fall into stagnation after the project cycle ends, lacking a sustainable operating structure and stable sources of funding.
To this end, it is recommended that we should base ourselves on China's development reality and focus on building a diversified cooperation pattern of industry-education integration with government guidance, enterprise participation, and school support, and build a talent cultivation platform that supports a modern industrial system.
Promote the integration of policy systems and form a multi-level coordinated coordination mechanism. At the central level, strengthen the overall design of policies for the integration of industry and education, build a collaborative promotion mechanism for the integration of industry and education with the participation of multiple departments, and realize the vertical connection and horizontal linkage of policy formulation, resource allocation, and project arrangement.
Improve the interest-driven and return mechanism for enterprise participation. Further improve the certification system for industry-education integrated enterprises, link it with fiscal subsidies, tax reductions and exemptions, project priority, talent introduction and other policies, establish a quantifiable and evaluable incentive system, and encourage more enterprises to continue to actively participate in the chain of talent cultivation.
Clarify the boundaries of rights and responsibilities for school-enterprise cooperation and build a "co-construction and co-management" operation mechanism. Establish a board of directors, organizational structure, and division of tasks composed of multiple entities such as governments, enterprises, schools, and research institutions. To promote the school-enterprise relationship from "cooperation" to "co-construction," it is necessary to further clarify the structure of rights and responsibilities and improve the ability to coordinate. Clarify the division of responsibilities between schools and enterprises in terms of professional settings, teaching organization, and quality assurance. Improve professional management institutions such as the board of directors and board of supervisors, strengthen system construction, promote the "substantive operation" of consortia and communities, and grant them legal person status, financial and employment authority, so that they can independently make production decisions and shoulder the responsibilities of vocational education.
Improve the support of laws and regulations and promote the legalization of industry-education integration. Accelerate the supporting implementation of relevant laws and regulations of the Vocational Education Law, clarify the rights and obligations of enterprises as the main participants in vocational education, and provide institutional guarantees for their participation in talent cultivation in accordance with the law. At the same time, promote the establishment of a quality evaluation system and information sharing platform for the entire process of industry-education integration, strengthen the supervision and management and performance evaluation of integration projects, and provide a legal basis and data support for policy implementation.

Subject: Small watersheds, as relatively independent and closed natural catchment areas with catchment areas of less than 50 square kilometers, have multiple functions such as conserving water sources, developing green industries, and building beautiful villages. However, most national strategies currently focus on large rivers and river basins, and the small watersheds, though small in area but large in number, have a "practical blind spot" in the realization of the value of ecological products.
Suggestions: Strengthen technological empowerment and use multi-dimensional technology and refined management to diagnose the development of ecological products in small watersheds. Use integrated "space-air-ground" remote sensing technology to conduct surveys of the resource endowments and ecosystems of different small watersheds, grasp the ecological status and resource base of each small watershed, and evaluate the potential for realizing the value of ecological products based on the accounting of the value of ecological products. Accelerate the confirmation and registration of natural resources, the investigation and monitoring of ecological products, and the inventory of assets in small watersheds, and determine the boundary for the realization of the value of ecological products to specific watershed units, thereby defining the area for the realization of ecological products.
Strengthen mechanism guarantees and use platforms to link the trading of ecological products in small watersheds. Promote the automation of ecological product value accounting. Use the Internet of Things and other means to connect to the basic geographic information platform and develop an automated ecological product value accounting system. Promote the vertical and horizontal monetization of ecological products. In the vertical dimension, form a multi-level vertical monetization promotion mechanism of "government-led + market allocation + farmer implementation + financial support." In the horizontal dimension, establish a joint meeting mechanism for the realization of ecological product value, coordinated by the Changjiang Water Resources Commission (长江水利委员会) of the Ministry of Water Resources (水利部) and jointly participated in by provinces and cities, to build a diversified horizontal monetization linkage mechanism.
Strengthen demonstration leadership and use brands to lead the promotion of ecological products in small watersheds. Create a national-level demonstration zone for the realization of the value of ecological products in small watersheds, increase investment to support the protection of water source areas, the ecological restoration of watersheds, and the establishment of watershed ecological industry systems, and coordinate the promotion of the "Two Mountains" transformation in small watershed demonstration zones to give play to the demonstration leadership effect. Create regional public brands for ecological products in small watersheds.

Walking into the "Zhihui Jianqiao" Economic Circles Committee Studio in Zone C of the Jianqiao Industrial Park (建桥工业园) in Dadukou District (大渡口区), Chongqing (重庆), a "round table consultation meeting" is underway.
Here, consultations are held regularly focusing on a single theme, allowing enterprise demands to reach relevant departments in their "**原汁原味**" (yuán zhī yuán wèi - "original flavor," authentic and unaltered) form. Enterprise representatives and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) (政协委员) sit together, enthusiastically discussing the "problem list": "The policy application system is too complicated, can the operation be simplified?" "For the planning permit for factory expansion, can the approval process be further optimized?" "Some financial support policies are not clear, can the publicity and interpretation of the policies be increased?"
Since the beginning of this year, the Dadukou District CPPCC (大渡口区政协) has organized district CPPCC members with corresponding expertise to carry out activities to deliver policies to enterprises. Through centralized publicity, on-site visits, and online Q&A, they have solved more than 100 difficulties and blockages in financing, employment, market development, etc., covering a total of more than 200 enterprises.
"Consultation is not '**坐而论道**' (zuò ér lùn dào - "sit and discuss principles," to engage in empty talk or armchair theorizing), but to focus on problems and promote them in a concrete way," said the relevant person in charge of the Dadukou District CPPCC to reporters. In recent years, the Dadukou District CPPCC has innovatively carried out the "Five Thousand Actions" of helping a thousand enterprises, attracting a thousand merchants, promoting a thousand projects, connecting a thousand households, and contributing a thousand suggestions by a hundred CPPCC members, actively building a new platform for the CPPCC to promote economic development, extending the tentacles of performance to enterprise workshops and park buildings. Through standing committee consultations, proposal consultations, sector consultations, and counterpart consultations, they give full play to the role of the CPPCC member studios, allowing consultation figures to be active at the forefront of economic development, and using the temperature of consultation to increase the speed of enterprise development.
"Analyzing and collecting the common problems of enterprises, 'newly built roads with vehicles parked randomly, affecting the normal production of goods in and out' has become a high-frequency problem," Huang Di (黄柢), a staff member of the Dadukou District CPPCC Public Opinion Information Center (大渡口区政协社情民意信息中心), told reporters. The district CPPCC's on-site investigation found that there are a total of 37 unhanded roads, 24.3 kilometers long, in the district due to reasons such as failure to pass the acceptance. Because these roads have not been formally handed over, law enforcement departments such as traffic police and urban management are difficult to effectively intervene, and there has long been a "management vacuum," resulting in a large number of large trucks and private vehicles illegally entering these roads and parking randomly, seriously affecting the production order and corporate image of the enterprises along the street.
To this end, the Dadukou District CPPCC put forward suggestions on solving the problem of random parking on unhanded urban roads, and actively consulted with relevant departments and local street towns, based on "accelerating the handover and strengthening transitional management," revitalizing idle resources and increasing effective supply, effectively unblocking management blockages, and promoting the district government to promptly formulate a special action plan for comprehensive management, jointly implemented by public security, housing and construction, urban management and other departments, effectively solving the problem of random parking on unhanded urban roads, and helping to optimize the business environment.
Today, the consultative deliberations of the Dadukou District CPPCC have yielded fruitful results. Focusing on key consultations on scientific and technological innovation, consumption upgrading and other work, CPPCC members have put forward consultative suggestions such as promoting the marketization of state-owned enterprises, introducing scientific and technological innovation talents, and creating new hot spots for consumption, which have been approved by the district party committee and district government and transferred to relevant departments for research and implementation; focusing on the construction of harmonious and beautiful villages, proposal consultations have been carried out, and suggestions such as integrating agricultural, cultural and tourism resources and making beautiful homestays and farmhouses have been put forward to actively promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside; special consultations have been carried out on the biomedical industry, sports event economy, financial benefits to enterprises, and modern logistics, providing suggestions and references for the decision-making and implementation of relevant departments, and injecting a constant stream of CPPCC power into the high-quality development of the regional economy.

On the banks of the Maquan River, a majestic outpost stands amidst the wind and snow—the Kunmujia Outpost (昆木加哨所) of a certain unit of the Tibet Military Region. "Kunmujia" (昆木加) means "heaven where flowers bloom" in Tibetan, but the natural environment here is far from this beautiful name.
The Kunmujia Outpost (昆木加哨所) is located in Zhongba County (仲巴县), Shigatse City (日喀则市), Tibet. The average altitude around the outpost is about 4,900 meters, and the average annual temperature is less than 5 degrees Celsius. There is a long winter with no summer, and spring and autumn are connected. The mountains are blocked by heavy snow for nearly 5 months each year. High altitude and lack of oxygen once made this place regarded as a "no-go zone for life." Plants are not easy to grow, and flowers are even rarer.
Since the first group of border defense officers and soldiers entered in 1960, generations of officers and soldiers have taken root in the outpost, guarding the southwest gate of the motherland with their youth. The Kunmujia Outpost (昆木加哨所) is therefore known as the "First Outpost in the Southwest."
Sixty-five years is but a moment in the long river of history, but it is a true annual ring of the outpost's officers and soldiers adhering to the plateau and loyally defending the border. Walking into Kunmujia (昆木加), you can hear their most firm oath to the motherland in the howling wind and snow.
The national flag is flying, that is the most beautiful border-guarding red in the hearts of soldiers.
On the border, the most beautiful color is red.
Early on Monday morning, before dawn, Private Nima Wangjie (尼玛翁杰) was already up preparing. He is the flag-raiser of the outpost. Here, raising the flag is a glorious task, but also with some danger.
The outpost has a small area and no special flag-raising platform. Every Monday, the flag-raiser has to climb to the top of the more than 10-meter-high watchtower to raise the national flag. The outpost is windy with winds of level 6 or higher all year round, and the temperature is extremely low. The seemingly simple task is not easy to perform.
Nima Wangjie (尼玛翁杰) enlisted in 2021 and is a college student soldier. He is one meter eighty-six tall and is the tallest soldier in the outpost. After enlisting, he learned that the outpost had a flag-raising mission, and he volunteered. "Because I am tall, I was selected as the flag-raiser. Raising the flag is very cold and dangerous, but every time I see the five-star red flag flying, I feel particularly excited and full of energy," he said.
In order to be a good flag-raiser, Nima Wangjie (尼玛翁杰) often practices outdoors. He, who used to be afraid of heights, also overcame his fear in repeated missions.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone on the top of the mountain, and the five-star red flag on the top of the watchtower was raised on time. The soldiers sang the national anthem in unison, and the singing echoed among the mountains. Against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains, the national flag is particularly bright—that is the most beautiful border-guarding red in the hearts of soldiers.
There was also a special "guest" at this flag-raising ceremony—90-year-old Ran Longjun (冉隆均). He was a witness to the initial construction of the outpost and watched the flag-raising ceremony through video connection. Seeing the national flag raised, the old man was in tears. In 1960, more than 100 officers and soldiers were ordered to enter Kunmujia (昆木加) and formed the initial border defense team. Ran Longjun (冉隆均) was one of them.
"At that time, Kunmujia (昆木加) was still a barren beach. There were few supplies and a lack of building materials, so we used local materials, dug frozen soil, carried stones, and patrolled during the day," Ran Longjun (冉隆均) recalled. In order to build the watchtower before the heavy snow closed the mountain, everyone often only slept four or five hours a day. After the watchtower took shape, the first thing they did was to tie a five-star red flag to a bamboo pole on the roof. At the moment when the national flag was raised, everyone forgot their fatigue and sang the national anthem in unison.
"We must protect this national flag and protect this red..." the old man said, choking with emotion.
With the development of the times, the second and third generation outposts have been built one after another. Although the old watchtower is no longer in use, it and the national flag have become a spiritual highland in the hearts of officers and soldiers.
A banner hangs on the old watchtower: "4.5 kilometers - 4500 kilometers." Private Nong Shengguan (农盛观) explained: "4.5 kilometers is the closest distance from the outpost to the border, and 4,500 kilometers is our watch over the capital." Here, every plant, every tree, every soldier, and every outpost is full of loyalty.
For 65 years, regardless of wind, snow, or sunshine, the five-star red flag has always been flying, and the belief in loyally defending the border has always been the same. This loyalty stems from the national feelings integrated into the blood of generations of border guards. From the first national flag erected by Ran Longjun (冉隆均) and his generation of officers and soldiers on the barren beach, to every flag-raising by Nima Wangjie (尼玛翁杰) and other officers and soldiers in the wind and snow; from the "forgetting fatigue" struggle in the early stage of building the outpost, to the "full of energy" adherence today—loyalty is written in the snow-capped mountains in a bright red that never fades, and even more in the oath practiced by soldiers with their youth and lives.
The border is far away, and perseverance makes youth have a heavier weight.
If you haven't been to the border, you don't know how dangerous the road is.
At noon, the reporter followed the officers and soldiers on a patrol route. After the vehicle drove on the asphalt road for a while, it turned onto a mountain path. The road was narrow, dusty, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, which was very dangerous. "Hold on tight and sit tight, don't be nervous! We are familiar with this road, and we will be at the hiking point soon," instructor Suolang Zhaxi (索朗扎西) said, pointing to the mountain pass in front.
After a bumpy ride, the patrol car stopped, and the rest of the road could only be walked. Looking out of the car, the vehicle had reached the middle of the mountain, with a huge mountain behind it. The dirt road underfoot was winding and tortuous, and the sheep intestines path in front was even more steep, with a slope of more than 60 degrees, and the end could not be seen at a glance. Walking this road for the first time, the reporter was frightened, but the officers and soldiers were already used to it. After lining up, they set off towards the top of the mountain under the leadership of the instructor.
"You must aim and step firmly, adjust your breathing, and try not to look down," Suolang Zhaxi (索朗扎西) said. These are the experiences accumulated on the patrol road. If you walk more, you won't be afraid.
More than an hour later, the patrol detachment came to a boulder. The officers and soldiers put the candy they brought with them and the wildflowers they picked on the road on the stone slab. "Old squad leader, we are here to see you..." Everyone saluted with their guns, with solemn expressions. Suolang Zhaxi (索朗扎西) told reporters that more than 30 years ago, Lu Yonggang (陆永刚), the deputy squad leader of the second squad at the time, had just recovered from a cold. Because he was worried about the new recruits, he insisted on leading the team on patrol. On the way, he suddenly encountered a blizzard, and he suffered from pulmonary edema due to altitude sickness, and his life was fixed here. Since then, every time the officers and soldiers pass by on patrol, they will come to mourn him.
"When Squad Leader Lu (陆班长) sacrificed, he still had a letter from his fiancée in his pocket," Suolang Zhaxi's (索朗扎西) voice was low, "The letter said that she would wait for him to go back and get married. But he stayed here forever."
When Private He Xianfeng (和献峰), who was walking in the team, heard this story for the first time, he was just 19 years old and was still a new recruit who missed his family and secretly shed tears. He said: "At that time, I suddenly understood why generations of people have dedicated their youth here—because some choices are more important than personal happiness."
Faced with loneliness and sacrifice, generations of officers and soldiers have never regretted it, and have engraved their loyal footprints into the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
After resting for more than ten minutes, Suolang Zhaxi (索朗扎西) found dark clouds approaching in the distance and immediately assembled the team. The air was already filled with mist. "The weather in the mountains changes quickly. Once it rains or snows, the road will be even more difficult to walk. We have to hurry up!" he said.
As dusk approached, the temperature at the top of the mountain dropped sharply, and the cold wind howled. There was not a trace of fear on the faces of the officers and soldiers, and their young faces were even more determined. The voices of mutual encouragement echoed in the team, "The boundary marker is not far away, let's work harder!"
After walking for another half an hour, Suolang Zhaxi (索朗扎西) pointed to the protruding stone tablet in front and said, "Look, that's the boundary marker!"
He Xianfeng (和献峰) gently wiped the dust off the boundary marker. Three years ago, this college student from a big city could not understand why anyone would be willing to leave their best years in this barren land. It wasn't until he saw Lu Yonggang's (陆永刚) yellowed photo in the outpost's honor room, until he took the gun from the veteran on the patrol road, until he touched the boundary marker with his own hands for the first time—he gradually understood: "My youth is on the border defense, and it has a heavier weight than staying in the city."
In the Kunmujia Outpost (昆木加哨所), there are two rows of slogans that are particularly eye-catching: "Loyalty to the snow sea and clouds, youth blooms in Kunmujia (昆木加)." He Xianfeng (和献峰) said: "Kunmujia (昆木加) cannot see flowers, but if you look carefully, there are 'flowers' everywhere here. Because the officers and soldiers have integrated their loyalty into the snow sea and clouds of the motherland, and the flowers of loyalty are blooming all over the border."
Since the establishment of the outpost, generations of officers and soldiers have practiced their youthful vows with actions. The outpost has successfully completed various tasks many times, and has been awarded the collective first-class merit once, the second-class merit twice, and the third-class merit three times, and has been rated as an advanced unit more than 10 times.
"With me on the border, please rest assured, motherland!" In front of the boundary marker, the officers' and soldiers' oaths echoed for a long time in the mountains...
Technology empowers, and the "snowy isolated island" becomes a warm harbor.
When the reporter was interviewing at the outpost, he happened to catch up with the delivery truck coming to deliver vegetables. The driver Zhang Xuejun (张学军) said that he comes every 3 days to ensure that the outpost has a fresh and sufficient supply of vegetables.
Following the officers and soldiers who were moving the vegetables, the reporter walked into the outpost's vegetable cellar—peppers, eggplants and other vegetables were neatly placed, the freezer was full of meat reserves, and there were also live fish and crabs transported from thousands of miles away.
"Now, as long as you place an order with one click, the vegetables can be delivered within 3 days. There are many varieties and they are fresh!" Quartermaster Zhou Ye (周烨) said that in the past, it was difficult for supplies to enter in winter, but now the asphalt road leads to the outpost, and the problem of eating vegetables has been greatly improved.
"In addition to delivery, the outpost also grows its own vegetables. In the past, insulated greenhouses could only grow green vegetables from July to September, but now with the 'plant factory', officers and soldiers can eat fresh vegetables every day!" Zhou Ye (周烨) said. Walking into the plant factory, more than 10 kinds of vegetables are growing vigorously. Technician Luo Rongduoji (洛茸都吉) introduced that soilless cultivation technology is used here, and computers are used to control parameters such as light and humidity, which shortens the growth cycle of vegetables. From seedling to maturity, it only takes more than 20 days. After picking and cooking, these vegetables can be served on the table of officers and soldiers.
Walking out of the plant factory, bursts of laughter came. The reporter followed the sound and saw a cultural and sports activity center. Pushing open the door, several officers and soldiers were exercising on fitness equipment, and there were also billiard tables and other facilities inside.
"At the end of 2020, the outpost's electricity was connected to the national grid, ending the 60-year history of no electricity. With electricity, more facilities and electrical appliances entered the outpost, and the officers' and soldiers' spare time life has also been enriched," Suolang Zhaxi (索朗扎西) said that the newly built cultural and sports activity center last year is also equipped with an indoor cinema, making border life no longer monotonous.
With electricity, roads, and internet access, the Kunmujia Outpost (昆木加哨所), once a "snowy isolated island," has now become a warm harbor. The new barracks are clean and bright, and all kinds of facilities are available: oxygen is connected to the bedside, meals are nutritious and healthy, and spare time life is rich and colorful... The quality of life of officers and soldiers is constantly improving.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of infrastructure such as roads and communications, new security models have gradually entered the lives of plateau officers and soldiers, and technology has been increasingly applied to the execution of daily tasks.
There have been tremendous changes in the way patrols are carried out. The combined mode of "human patrol + vehicle patrol + visual patrol + machine patrol" has become the norm for daily patrols.
In the outpost monitoring duty room, the AI recognition system issued an alarm. Nong Shengguan (农盛观) discovered from the screen that a herder from a neighboring country was trying to cross the border with a herd of cattle at the iron wire fence in Xishan. He immediately reported it and shared the information with local units. Second Sergeant Wang Sicheng (王思诚) controlled the drone to fly to the scene, transmitted high-definition images, and used a loudspeaker to persuade the herders to leave. More than 10 minutes later, the alarm was lifted.
"In the past, dealing with emergencies relied entirely on the soldiers' 'iron feet', which was time-consuming and labor-intensive." Wang Sicheng (王思诚), who has been guarding the border for 12 years, has a deep understanding of the changes brought about by technology. "The outpost has a wide defense area, a long border line, and many patrol points, many of which are located in the deep valleys of the snow-capped mountains, with complex terrain and changeable weather. Patrols are both dangerous and hard. The application of drones and intelligent monitoring has helped us solve many problems." Today, multiple points of the Kunmujia Outpost (昆木加哨所) have achieved "air patrols."
From "iron feet" to "technology", the way of border defense duty is constantly upgraded. The blue light of the monitoring screen is reflected on the young but firm face of Suolang Jiancan (索朗坚参), a new soldier born in the 2000s. This college student soldier who has just joined the company is focusing on learning how to operate the drone control station.
As night fell, the drone navigation lights outside the window flickered like stars, echoing the national flag flying at the outpost. Suolang Jiancan (索朗坚参) solemnly wrote a line in his diary: "On the journey of strengthening the army, I am willing to be the most sensitive 'eye' of this technological outpost, and even more willing to be the most loyal 'boundary marker' on the snowy border."

On the Gobi Desert in Hami, Xinjiang (新疆哈密), there are several large landmark characters, including "Serve the People" (为人民服务), which were once seen as "lighthouses" by air force pilots. Recently, some netizens discovered that the "Serve the People" navigational marker had been vandalized and voluntarily drove thousands of miles to repair it, which has received widespread attention.
Why protect these navigational markers? At a regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense (国防部) held on October 30, a spokesperson praised the netizens' good deeds as extraordinary: "Mountains and rivers are silent, but the spirit is immortal. These are not simple landmark characters; they were once important navigation markers, recording the People's Air Force's (人民空军) journey of vigorous development and have special historical value."
History is written in perseverance, and the era moves forward in struggle. On the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Air Force, looking back at the glorious years of the Air Force's development and growth—those landmarks, flights, and stories contain the spiritual code of generations of Air Force officers and soldiers with lofty ambitions and fighting in the vast sky.
Uphold the principle of supporting the government and cherishing the people, and forever maintain the original aspiration of serving the people. The five characters "Serve the People" (为人民服务) are of paramount importance, representing both the People's Air Force's firm original aspiration and its unchanging direction. Repeatedly comparing and selecting, purchasing 27 truckloads of similar stone materials, and coordinating civilian remote sensing satellites to confirm the repair effect... The netizens' voluntary protection of the navigational marker is a profound recognition of this solemn commitment, conveying the deep "fish-and-water" (鱼水情) relationship between the military and the people. From "aerial bayonet fighting" (空中拼刺刀) to defend the country to "divine soldiers descending from the sky" (神兵天降) to aid in disaster relief; from entering campuses to teach national defense knowledge to opening up military camps for friendly interaction... The military loves the people, and the people support the military. This sincere "two-way rush" is touching. At the 11th Air Force Aviation Open Day and the Changchun Air Show (长春航空展), flight performances drew cheers. Looking at the soaring warplanes, the children's eyes were full of longing. They said, "When I grow up, I want to be a pilot and fly a warplane to guard the blue sky of the motherland!"
Practice hard and fly skillfully, and hone a strong will of perseverance. The old site of the Aviation School (老航校旧址), the "dugout" (地窝子) of the Air Force test range, the paratrooper's parachute tower... Buildings and facilities distributed throughout the motherland have witnessed the arduous journey of the People's Air Force from scratch, from weak to strong. Under extremely scarce educational resources, the predecessors wrote their own textbooks, drew nautical charts, made teaching aids, and founded aviation schools. On the deserted Gobi Desert, the base officers and soldiers faced the wind and fought the sand, building a modern test range. At the top of the towering parachute tower, countless paratroopers completed their "first jump," opening the way to pursue their dreams in the blue sky. Generations of Air Force officers and soldiers have not been afraid of wind and rain, and have faced difficulties head-on, composing a magnificent song of strengthening the army.
Be determined to innovate and firmly pursue continuous improvement. At this year's September 3rd Victory Day Parade (九三阅兵仪式), warplanes roared in, the aerial echelon was magnificent, and new sharp weapons such as the KJ-600 (空警—600), YU-20A (运油—20A), and J-20A (歼—20A) were concentratedly displayed, demonstrating the leap in the Air Force's combat effectiveness with system-based formations to win in the air and space. From having no satellite positioning system and only being able to use simple tools to engrave giant landmarks on the Gobi Desert to guide navigation, to the accelerated development of new types of combat forces today, the People's Air Force has been diligently honing its sword and surpassing itself, pursuing excellence and open integration, pursuing dreams in the air and space, winning the future, and becoming an elite force to defend the motherland's airspace and territory.
Navigational markers are silent, but the spirit continues. Looking back at history is to better move towards the future.
Looking out over the vast sky, the People's Air Force is striving to fly, drawing magnificent trajectories in the blue sky of the motherland, and using struggle to continue writing new era glory!

In the early morning, a thick, almost solid sea fog enveloped the pier, with only a few dim yellow lights piercing the darkness, outlining the submarine's stern silhouette. The damp, salty sea breeze, carrying a chill, crept into my collar. I took a deep breath, and the mingled scent of diesel, steel, and seaweed instantly filled my nostrils. Once again, I stepped over the mooring bollard, placed my hand on the cold bow of the submarine, and began the pre-sailing inspection for a new day.
Only by truly embracing this deep blue, breathing and fighting within this steel shell, can one appreciate the weight of the three words "submarine soldier."
Twelve years ago, in the golden autumn, filled with longing for this mysterious deep blue, I boarded a train heading south. Upon arriving at the submarine unit, the squad leader pointed to a thick stack of textbooks and said, "Want to get on a submarine? First, devour these 'entry tickets'!" Everyone put in their best effort, hoping to master the theory as soon as possible and obtain that "pass" to the deep blue.
Three months later, good news arrived: I passed the assessment and could go on the submarine for "temporary duty"! Simply put, it meant taking turns living on the submarine while it was docked for maintenance, guarding its safety. The first time I walked towards the pier, my heart raced. The dark, massive hull was quietly moored, like a lurking deep-sea behemoth. The thought that this would become my battle station filled me with pride.
However, only by truly entering its "heart" did I understand the true experience. I remember the first time I was on "temporary duty" during the scorching heat of August. The blazing sun baked the steel shell, and every breath felt like a burning sensation, as if I were in a steamer. Watching the veterans steadfastly holding their posts as if it were commonplace, I secretly resolved: no matter how harsh the environment, it cannot stop my ambition to conquer the deep blue!
What made me realize the special mission of a submarine soldier was the torpedo tube escape training. It is the last channel for survival for the crew when a submarine encounters danger underwater and cannot surface. During one training session, I put on my gear and climbed into the cold launch tube. Surrounded by darkness, while waiting for the signal, a thought suddenly struck me: if this were not training, could I climb out? Fear instantly gripped my heart, and my breathing became rapid. No! I suddenly woke up: I am a submarine soldier, if I can't overcome this psychological barrier, how can I fight? The deep sea is silent, and everywhere is a battlefield. Submarine soldiers must have excellent psychological qualities and professional skills. Only by practicing to the extreme in peacetime can we hold on to the hope of survival and complete our combat mission at critical moments.
That year, my comrades and I participated in the superior's sonar professional competition. Four months of closed training, wearing headphones every day, distinguishing weak ship signals in mixed ocean noise, the difficulty was beyond imagination. "We don't believe there are tasks that cannot be completed, we don't believe there are enemies that cannot be defeated, we don't believe there are difficulties that cannot be overcome!" With this belief, we fought for first place.
Submarine soldiers are "lone heroes" lurking in the deep sea. The space is narrow and enclosed, and during submerged navigation, they are isolated from the world. There is no fresh air, no sunlight, and after a long time, it is difficult to distinguish even morning and evening. But within this limited space, generations of crew members, day after day, are riveted to their battle stations like screws. Persisting in the ordinary, accumulating strength in silence, this is the true portrayal of submarine soldiers.
Sailing is embarking on an expedition, diving is entering battle. We lurk in the depths of the vast ocean, using absolute loyalty and excellent skills to silently build an indestructible underwater Great Wall. This is the glory of us submarine soldiers!

In late autumn, at the foot of the Dabie Mountains (大别山), the forests are ablaze with color. All new cadets of the Class of 2025 from the Air Force Early Warning Academy (空军预警学院) departed from Wuhan (武汉), Hubei (湖北) Province, and headed to Hong'an County (红安县), Huanggang (黄冈), Hubei (湖北) Province, one of the central areas of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Revolutionary Base (鄂豫皖革命根据地), to begin their annual "Hong'an Trip" field comprehensive training.
Over five days and nights, nearly 400 cadets marched hundreds of kilometers... This "Hong'an Trip" field comprehensive training emphasized the integration of military and political training, carrying out a series of revolutionary tradition education activities to guide cadets to receive a red baptism and strengthen their ideals and beliefs.
"During the Huangma Uprising (黄麻起义), a ballad was widely sung: 'Little Huang'an (黄安), everyone a hero. With the sound of the gong, four hundred and eighty thousand...' " As instructor Zheng Junwu (郑钧午) narrated, the cadets entered the Huangma Uprising and the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall (黄麻起义和鄂豫皖苏区革命烈士纪念馆).
Everyone walked and looked, experiencing firsthand the firm beliefs and patriotic enthusiasm of the martyrs in the weapons and equipment and video materials.
"This is the youngest registered martyr in Hong'an (红安) - Lin Qingzhi (林清芝), who was only 15 years old when he sacrificed himself. He was from Taipingqiao Town (太平桥镇), Hong'an County (红安县)." In the Martyrs Memorial Hall, Chen Taohe (陈韬合), a new cadet from Taipingqiao Town (太平桥镇), couldn't help but have his eyes moisten when he heard the commentator's introduction.
During the revolutionary war years, 140,000 heroic sons and daughters of Hong'an (红安) gave their precious lives, including 22,552 registered martyrs. Looking at the names of the martyrs on the Martyrs Memorial Wall, Chen Taohe (陈韬合)'s mood could not calm down for a long time. "We must be good inheritors of the red gene, and strive forward and forge ahead on the road paved by the revolutionary predecessors with their lives and blood," Chen Taohe (陈韬合) said.
"Attention all, 'enemy' chemical agents have been detected 150 meters ahead. Please wear gas masks and quickly pass through the 'contaminated' area." On the march, the vanguard squad suddenly reported "enemy situation." Everyone orderly put on individual protective equipment and quickly passed through the "enemy" biochemical weapon contaminated area before resuming the marching formation.
Air defense, biochemical defense, handling battlefield public opinion... "Special situations" continued throughout the march. The cadets dealt with them all the way, charging all the way, tempering their ability to win and stimulating their fighting spirit in the combination of "walking and fighting."
During the teaching summary, cadet representative Huang Ziyang (黄子洋)'s speech was full of emotion: "This field comprehensive training is a dialogue of faith and a spiritual experience. We will continue the red bloodline, consolidate our ability to win through struggle, and contribute our youthful strength to the cause of strengthening the army."
"Osmanthus blossoms everywhere in August, the bright red flag is raised..." On the way back, accompanied by the melody of revolutionary songs, the young students moved forward along the direction of the red flag, their eyes firm and their steps sonorous.

On the night of October 29, 2025, at the Chengdu City Concert Hall (成都城市音乐厅), during the closing ceremony of the 15th Chinese Golden Bell Awards for Music, 86-year-old Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) slowly walked onto the stage, his steps steady, just like the countless beats he had conducted. When the "Lifetime Achievement Award (Music) of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles" trophy was handed to him, the long applause transformed into a symphony of countless movements at that moment.
"For 60 years, I have only focused on doing my job well. The Party and the country have nurtured me, allowing me to do what I love. In fact, from the perspective of society's demands on me, what I have done is far from enough," said the old man, who has witnessed most of the development of Chinese symphony music over the past half-century, expressing his artistic original intention in simple language.
In 1939, Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) was born in a scholarly family in Shanghai. His father, Chen Dieyi (陈蝶衣), was a lyricist, and his mother inherited the family's learning, proficient in painting, calligraphy, and opera. Growing up in such an artistic family, the melodious Kunqu Opera and the clear sound of the flute permeated Chen Xieyang's (陈燮阳) entire childhood, laying the seeds for his future path in music.
At the age of 5, Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) could already sing Peking Opera and would even take the initiative to perform when guests visited. Whenever opera troupes performed on rural stages, adults would often carry this opera-loving child onto the stage to sing a section. This experience of "first appearing on stage" revealed his innate artistic talent.
What truly changed Chen Xieyang's (陈燮阳) life was a piece of news that his sister accidentally saw in the newspaper – the Affiliated Secondary School of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music (上海音乐学院附中) was enrolling students. Filled with a passionate love for music, the young man embarked on the journey to take the exam. In the examination room, he carried the erhu given to him by his comrades and impressed every judge with the two pieces "Singing Erlang Mountain" and "Singing Jinggang Mountain." Although he was overage and had missed the enrollment deadline, Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) was exceptionally admitted due to his outstanding talent. Seeing "Special No. 1" on the list, he was overwhelmed with excitement. He later joked that it was "two mountains" that helped him enter the hall of music.
In 1965, Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) graduated from the Conducting Department of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music (上海音乐学院), and fate arranged a unique artistic path for him – from the originally planned Shanghai Opera House (上海歌剧院), he turned to the Shanghai Dance School (上海舞蹈学校) and became involved with the ballet "The White-Haired Girl" (白毛女), which was being created and rehearsed. He not only served as the conductor of "The White-Haired Girl" (白毛女) but also participated in the music creation and orchestration work with Mr. Qu Wei (瞿维), Mr. Lü Qiming (吕其明), Mr. Ma Youdao (马友道), and Mr. Chen Benhong (陈本洪).
"For 16 years, I rehearsed with the orchestra every day, and what I learned in class could be applied to practice. What I didn't learn in class, I understood and experienced in practice, which was a great exercise for me." The 16-year dance drama conducting career not only honed his keen sense of rhythm and adaptability but also made him understand the true meaning of music ultimately serving artistic expression. This unique experience laid an irreplaceable solid foundation for him to master various musical genres in the future.
In 1984, Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) took over as the director of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra (上海交响乐团). Facing the dilemma that sometimes "there were more performers on stage than audience members below," he made two far-reaching decisions: introducing foreign musicians and establishing a music director responsibility system, breaking the traditional "director responsibility system" where artistic administration was all-encompassing, making it impossible to focus on core artistic affairs. The reform measures quickly showed results. The management system of the music director responsibility system not only promoted the artistic development of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra (上海交响乐团) but also provided a valuable model for the modernization of state-owned literary and art troupes.
"I want to use my life to push Chinese symphony music to the world." This is Chen Xieyang's (陈燮阳) lifelong artistic pursuit.
This ideal had been brewing silently in his heart since his youth. In 1998, an unexpected invitation changed Chen Xieyang's (陈燮阳) artistic trajectory and made this ideal particularly clear and firm.
At that time, the Central Chinese Orchestra (中央民族乐团) urgently needed a conductor to lead the orchestra to debut at the Vienna Golden Hall (维也纳金色大厅), the sacred hall of classical music. Yu Songlin (俞松林), the director of the orchestra, set three strict standards for this performance: professional conductor, prestigious, and proficient in folk music. Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳), who had conducted the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (香港中乐团) and the Taipei Chinese Orchestra (台北市立国乐团), became the best candidate.
This was a performance that was recorded in history. When the grand movements were played, the Western audience experienced the magnificent momentum of Eastern music for the first time. The most legendary part of the entire performance was the adaptation of the "Radetzky March." Professor Blahawi, a famous Austrian host, suggested: "Please play it in a Chinese-style way." This suggestion kept Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) awake all night. In the end, he creatively started with a Chinese bangu drum, incorporated small gongs and plucked instruments, and then naturally transitioned to the original theme. The Sino-Western version was a great success, and an Austrian driver said to them: "I have listened to 'Radetzky' for so many years, and your 'Radetzky' is the best."
The sensational effect of the concert far exceeded expectations. At the end of the last piece, the thunderous applause lasted for a long time, and the orchestra returned for an encore of 5 pieces, which still could not satisfy the boiling audience at the scene. The enthusiastic atmosphere made Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳), who was standing on the podium, "almost shed tears." From this, he saw how shocking and infectious it could be when national music goes to the world in an innovative way.
In 2004, Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) led the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra (上海交响乐团) to the Berlin Philharmonic Hall (柏林爱乐大厅), becoming the first Chinese orchestra to perform in this sacred hall of music. From 2007 to 2008, he conducted and recorded China's first complete set of Beethoven symphony live recordings, affectionately known by music fans as the "Soul of Beethoven."
In 2016, 77-year-old Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) made an admirable decision – to serve as the music director of the newly established Suzhou Symphony Orchestra (苏州交响乐团). He is committed to promoting the deep integration of Chinese and Western music. In his view, Chinese orchestras must be deeply rooted in the folk soil, seriously study national music and opera traditions, and create works with distinctive local styles. Only in this way can they win the sincere recognition of the audience and, on this basis, go to the international stage and expand the world influence of Chinese music. In the past 9 years, he has always adhered to the artistic concept of "Chinese orchestras should perform Chinese works," founded the Huaxia Music Festival, systematically promoted nearly a hundred Chinese works, and allowed the charm of Jiangnan to radiate new vitality in symphony music. Under his leadership, the Suzhou Symphony Orchestra (苏州交响乐团) has stepped onto the stage of the United Nations Headquarters and many Asian and African countries, using music as a bridge to tell Chinese stories to the world and demonstrate the style and confidence of Chinese symphony orchestras in the new era.
60 years of artistic accumulation have allowed Chen Xieyang's (陈燮阳) conducting art to reach a unique realm: the perfect integration of rigorous musical structure and vivid emotional expression, and the interplay of rational artistic control and sensual improvisational sparks. As a senior music fan said: "Listening to Chen Xieyang's (陈燮阳) concerts, you can not only hear the notes but also touch the soul of the music."
Today, Chen Xieyang (陈燮阳) is still active on major stages at home and abroad, like ivy, maintaining artistic vitality. "There is no such thing as retirement for conductors. As long as I can still stand on the podium, I will persevere," he said.

Currently in the theater scene, adapting works that have won the Mao Dun Literature Prize is in full swing. According to statistics, since the Mao Dun Literature Prize was established in 1981, over the past 40 years, the 11 sessions of the prize have awarded more than 50 full-length novels. Except for the first and seventh sessions where the winning novels were not adapted, nearly 20 winning works from the other nine sessions have been brought to the stage, including popular works like "Massage" and "The Protagonist," which have been adapted into multiple versions of dramas and operas. In particular, in recent years, of the 5 novels that won the tenth Mao Dun Literature Prize, 3 have been adapted into dramas, demonstrating the appeal of Mao Dun Literature Prize novels to the theater world.
The cultural content and artistic value of Mao Dun Literature Prize novels give them a charm that ordinary novels do not possess, providing a good literary foundation for adapted works. This is the main reason why the theater world favors Mao Dun Literature Prize novels. On November 4th, the list of winners of the 18th Wenhua Award was announced, and the drama "Northward" and the opera "Dust Settles," which won the Drama Award, were adapted from Mao Dun Literature Prize novels.
In addition, the Mao Dun Literature Prize brand also gives adapted works a naturally high level of recognition, making it easier to attract the attention of the audience.
However, it should also be seen that the two art forms of novels and dramas have essential differences in narration, and not every Mao Dun Literature Prize novel is suitable for being brought to the stage.
As Diderot said in "Discourse on Dramatic Poetry," all good plays can be made into good novels, but not all good novels can be made into good plays. The difference lies in their different artistic rules. At its root, the novelist has time and space and can rely entirely on words to roam freely, while the playwright has to tell the story within two or three hours of stage time and space. Without a high degree of concentration and control of time and space, it is really difficult. The saying "stage art is dancing in shackles" illustrates this point.
In general, Mao Dun Literature Prize novels are mostly known for their epic qualities, with large spans of time and space and multiple narrative threads, which further increases the difficulty of stage adaptation. To achieve an epic character, a full-length novel must promote the development of the story through the gradual evolution of the environment, character relationships, and plot. For example, "White Deer Plain" uses the grievances between the Bai (白) and Lu (鹿) families over more than half a century to show the collapse of traditional ethics and institutional changes in rural society in the revolutionary torrent; "Dust Settles" witnesses the rise and fall of the Khamba Tibetan Tusi system from the perspective of a "fool"; "The Protagonist" reflects the complex relationship between an artist and a folk art in the torrent of social change through the life experiences, ups and downs of a Qinqiang opera (秦腔) star over nearly half a century; "Northward" attempts to reveal "the history of a river and a nation" with a three-vertical and four-horizontal network-like time-space structure and a social landscape of more than 100 years. Because of the complex narrative structure and the freedom of time and space changes, full-length novels are often regarded as the "art of gradual change"; while the structure of stage plays is relatively simple, and the scope of time and space is relatively concentrated, often requiring "sudden turns" and "discoveries," so it is called the "art of sudden change."
From a full-length novel to a stage play, if one cannot skillfully master the law of "gradual change" to "sudden change," and cannot completely break the novel and "transform" it onto the stage, the adaptation will become a thankless task. Currently, in the stage adaptations of many Mao Dun Literature Prize novels, the adaptations of those original works that are small in size and short in length are relatively successful; and the success rate of film and television adaptations is higher than that of stage plays, which is also closely related to the length of film and television works and the variety of artistic expression methods.
Of course, it is not to say that a certain type of novel is an absolute "adaptation forbidden zone." In fact, with the development of theater concepts and the addition of modern technology, the expressiveness of the stage has been greatly expanded, and the distance between drama on stage and novels has become smaller and smaller. However, creators still need to have a clear understanding of the essential differences between the two art forms. Under this premise, more artistic exploration and more challenging innovations can truly promote the development of drama.

Every Double Ninth Festival is the day that the old artists of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe (上影演员剧团) look forward to the most. Respecting the elderly on the Double Ninth Festival is like a "family reunion" that transcends time.
The Double Ninth Festival activity in 2025 was particularly special. Two years ago, I proposed the idea of renovating the courtyard wall, which was supported by the Xuhui District Political Consultative Conference (徐汇区政协) and Hunan Sub-district (湖南街道) of Shanghai. The wall is inlaid with bronze statues of seven predecessors: Zhao Dan (赵丹), Bai Yang (白杨), Zhang Ruifang (张瑞芳), Sun Daolin (孙道临), Qin Yi (秦怡), Shangguan Yunzhu (上官云珠), and Wang Danfeng (王丹凤). On the day of the event, in front of the troupe, I and senior troupe members Niu Ben (牛犇), Da Shichang (达式常), Wu Haiyan (吴海燕), Zhao Jing (赵静), Wang Shihhuai (王诗槐), and other film performing artists unveiled the wall together. Just like when the troupe returned in 2018, every face, young and old, in the troupe was filled with a happy smile. The members of this big family of the troupe jointly witnessed the indelible mark that film has left on this city.
The four characters "Shanghai Film" (上海电影) carry a century of heavy honor and glory, and many predecessors were the drivers of this turbulent historical process.
In the small courtyard of the troupe, we have erected bronze statues for Zhang Ruifang (张瑞芳), Zhao Dan (赵丹), Sun Daolin (孙道临), and Wang Danfeng (王丹凤) successively over the past 10 years. Someone asked: Why put so many bronze statues in the unit? I replied that these are not just bronze statues, they are beacons when we are confused in our creation, and they are role models that can illuminate our hearts. On the wall of the conference room of the Actors Troupe, in the most conspicuous position at an upward angle, you can see the photos of predecessors such as Liu Qiong (刘琼), Shangguan Yunzhu (上官云珠), Bai Yang (白杨), and Wei Heling (魏鹤龄). Teachers are like light, leading to great distances with small steps. When you see Zhou Xuan (周璇) and Zhao Dan (赵丹), you will think of "Street Angel" (《马路天使》); when you see Zhang Ruifang (张瑞芳), you will think of "Li Shuangshuang" (《李双双》) and "Southern Expedition and Northern War" (《南征北战》); when you see Bai Yang (白杨) and Shangguan Yunzhu (上官云珠), you will think of "The Spring River Flows East" (《一江春水向东流》); when you see Zhong Xinghuo (仲星火), you will think of "Today I Rest" (《今天我休息》).
The troupe's creative pace has not stopped. In 2016, three generations of the troupe, old, middle-aged, and young, collectively participated in the filming of the movie "Zou Bihua" (《邹碧华》); in the same year, the troupe also collectively participated in the drama "The Long March: An Immortal Monument" (《长征：不朽的丰碑》). The long-lost atmosphere of collective creation touched Teacher Niu Ben (牛犇), and the old man proposed to join the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) at the age of 83. In 2018, Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, wrote a letter to Niu Ben (牛犇), encouraging him to give full play to the exemplary role of a Party member and continue to set an example in both artistic and personal conduct. We also initiated and held several Shanghai Public Welfare Micro Film Festivals (上海公益微电影节), so that more filmmakers and friends from the cultural and artistic circles can join the ranks of public welfare and charity.
With fewer opportunities to make movies, we organize drama performances and recite novels in recording studios. We invited the famous performing artist Da Shichang (达式常) to be the director and lines teacher, spending 2 years reading "The Gadfly" and 1 year reading "The People's Choice," which is equivalent to giving the actors a refresher course for 3 years, running a "lines cram school." Whether it is in the extremely harsh Kunlun Mountains (昆仑山) barracks of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (新疆昆仑山兵团战士驻地), or in the barracks of the Shanghai Armed Police officers and soldiers (上海武警官兵), there are figures of actors from the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe (上影演员剧团).
I am proud to be engaged in the film industry like my excellent predecessors, and I am happy to be a member of the troupe. And today, in young actors such as Tang Yan (唐嫣), Li Zonghan (李宗翰), and Chen Long (陈龙), I see the future. I believe that this warmth and inheritance between light and shadow will continue to flow for a long time in the small courtyard of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe (上影演员剧团) and in the blood of Shanghai Film (上海电影).

From October 16th to 26th, in the picturesque and dreamlike ancient water town of Jiangnan (江南), the Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节) arrived as scheduled for another year. The theme of the 12th Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节), "Ascension (扶摇)," expressed the organizers' expectation for the soaring vitality of theater. 25 invited plays, 18 "Youth Competition" teams and their works, 6 "Drama Dream Granary" performances, 3 "Starting Line Drama" script reading events, as well as the Town Dialogue, Ancient Town Carnival, and Drama Market sections, together formed the expanded content map of this year's Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节), providing a rich and diverse selection for audiences with different interests and needs.
Among the invited plays, the most "heavyweight" was undoubtedly the five-part series "City of Humankind Marathon Play" from the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg (德国汉堡德意志剧院). The play reorganized and rewrote the stories related to Thebes from ancient Greek drama and mythology into a "marathon-level" stage production consisting of five consecutive parts and lasting nine hours. The creators looked back at ancient Greece, an important source of Western civilization, and reconsidered Thebes, the famous city-state built by humans, and why it has been haunted by tragedy for generations, and threw this eternal question to the 21st century global humanity, which still faces many challenges such as environmental problems and regional conflicts. A simple, vigorous, and tragic aesthetic style enveloped the entire play, and the audience's body and mind were repeatedly questioned, tested, and shocked during this long theatrical journey.
Over the years, the Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节) has introduced outstanding theater companies and theatrical works from all over the world, opening a window for cultural exchange and mutual learning for Chinese audiences. And with the "Youth Competition" section as the center, domestic young drama creators have been able to fully display their talents.
The drama competition in the "Youth Competition" section has been held for 12 years in a simple water town building - the Bangwan Theatre (蚌湾剧场). Admission is free, and the audience is crowded around the small stage, creating a warm, home-like atmosphere. The works in this year's Youth Competition once again showed a diverse range of styles, such as "Home Without Children (家冇儿女)," which calls for care for the elderly, "Ah, King of the Universe (啊，宇宙之王)," which integrates life insights and philosophical reflections, and "Dream Lost in the Garden (游园失梦)," the winner of the "Best Drama Award," which innovatively reconstructs traditional Chinese opera performance techniques and the ancient drama classic "The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭)," all outlining the feelings, thoughts, and actions of today's young people from different perspectives. "One Yuan (一块钱)," which won the "Special Attention Award" in this year's Youth Competition, received particularly enthusiastic praise and resonance. Its plot is adapted from the creator's personal experience and stems from the moving relationship between him and his now-deceased grandfather. As more and more new generations of audiences enter the theater scene, including the Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节), Chinese drama today has formed a close connection with the cultural interests and cultural demands of young people.
The 11-day theater festival offers a dazzling array of performances, but it can only provide a theatrical journey with limited time and space. For many theater practitioners, the "long tail effect" brought by the Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节) is even more anticipated. With the support of the organizer's "Dragonfly Project (蜻蜓计划)," three youth competition works that stood out in last year's Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节) have already started commercial performances in Beijing (北京) and Shanghai (上海) this year. And after appearing in the "Starting Line Drama" section in the form of script readings, "The Farmhouse Inn Guest (农庄馆客人)," written by British playwright Katherine Moar (凯瑟琳·莫尔), will also officially premiere in December this year.
The Wuzhen Theatre Festival (乌镇戏剧节) is developing from an annual gathering in a water town into a far-reaching source of theatrical light, injecting more surging creative vitality and stronger industrial energy into the industry. It is hoped that in the future, it can continue to work hand in hand with Chinese drama. 目不暇接 (mù bù xiá jiē - "the eyes cannot take it all in," too many things to see).

I once worked at the County Culture and Tourism Bureau for a few years, and the nature of my work meant that I dealt with drama quite a bit. Once, the city held a small drama competition, requiring that the entries be newly created. At that time, the unit's funding was very tight, and it was costly to hire professional playwrights to create works. In order to reduce the economic pressure on the unit, I decided to write it myself.
Jiaxiang (嘉祥) is one of the main birthplaces of Shandong Bangzi (山东梆子). In 2008, Shandong Bangzi (山东梆子) was also included in the national intangible cultural heritage list. Shandong Bangzi (山东梆子) has the characteristics of being high-pitched and unrestrained, vigorous and passionate, and stretched and bright. The actors' movements are rough and their postures are exaggerated. In order to fully reflect this characteristic, I consulted a lot of materials, learned about the basic knowledge of Shandong Bangzi (山东梆子), read a lot of drama texts, and also visited some old actors, striving to write a work that combines the beauty of traditional art and the characteristics of a brand-new era. In the specific writing process, I tried to use short sentences, highlighting rhyme and rhythm, to facilitate the actors' memory and singing. Combining with the county's campaign to close mountains and ban mining, I created the Shandong Bangzi (山东梆子) small drama "Wang Dabao's (王大宝) Transformation After Going Down the Mountain," focusing on the ecological concept of "lush mountains and clear water are gold and silver mountains."
On the day of the performance, I walked into the theater of the Municipal Workers' Cultural Palace (市工人文化宫). As the curtain opened, watching the small drama I created formally presented on the stage, I was very excited. At this moment, the hard work I put in was finally rewarded. What made me even more proud was that the work also won the second prize in the city competition. I will never forget this experience.

"White Horse Sisters" is less a movie and more a documentary long take spanning 24 years. The film uses a follow-up shooting method, recording the historical changes of the Baima Tibetan (白马藏族) mountain village with details, especially the reconstruction after the flood. The long shooting accumulated vast amounts of material, and the post-editing lasted for a year. In the end, we focused the story on the four sisters, presenting their life stories from youth to middle age.
Back in the days before the Spring Festival of 1999, we set off northwest from Chengdu (成都), Sichuan (四川), and met the Baima Tibetans (白马藏族) for the first time in the mountains of Pingwu County (平武县), Mianyang (绵阳). When the bonfire of Elizhai (厄哩寨) was lit, men and women danced the circle dance, and the four sisters walked side by side, wearing bright and beautiful long skirts, with flower belts restraining their slender figures, like light and graceful Gesang flowers. Our camera quickly focused on the four sisters.
The biggest festival for the Baima Tibetans (白马藏族) is the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, the whole village gathers in the drying ground to sing and dance. From the first day of the Lunar New Year, almost every night, the young girls in the village sit around the fireplace of the four sisters' house, singing Baima songs and drinking咂酒 (za jiu - a type of Tibetan barley wine). Most of the Baima Tibetan (白马藏族) songs sing about labor scenes, but there are also love songs, sometimes clear and lively, sometimes soothing and long. As the night deepens, the girls stand up, singing and dancing, accompanied by crisp and sweet laughter. The Baima Tibetans (白马藏族) have a language but no written script, and historical legends and folk customs are passed down orally through songs. These rural women are not very literate, but they are the inheritors of national culture.
At that time, the eldest sister, Wu Yinzao (伍音早), was 24 years old and had just built her own house, fantasizing about traveling far away; the third sister, Xiao Yingmei (小英美), was 17 years old and eager to go to Jiuzhaigou (九寨沟) to dance; the fourth sister, Jin Yinzao (金银早), was 13 years old and dreamed of leaving the mountains to see the outside world; only the second sister, Xiao Xiao (晓小), who was 22 years old, was willing to stay in the village 踏踏实实 (tà ta shí shí - "steadfast and down-to-earth," describes being practical, reliable, and grounded).
The following summer, I rushed to Elizhai (厄哩寨) again. A thin mist shrouded the Duobo River (夺博河), and green grass and trees decorated the mountains on both sides. The second sister carried a bamboo basket of pumpkins back from the other side of the river and told me that her family had been selected as a Baima folk customs reception point. Soon, several cars drove up, and a group of tourists got out and wandered around the village. The four sisters became busy, the eldest sister making pancakes, the second sister stir-frying dishes, the third sister kneading dough, and the fourth sister serving dishes. After the tourists were seated, they sang a toasting song together. With beautiful people, beautiful songs, fragrant dishes, and beautiful scenery, the reputation of the four sisters quickly spread far and wide, and tourists from Mianyang (绵阳) and Chengdu (成都) came in an endless stream. That summer, my camera witnessed the busy figures of the four sisters, and also witnessed how their songs and dances intoxicated the tourists from afar.
After 18 years, when we met again, the four sisters were already middle-aged. After the flood, their homes were broken and mud was everywhere. The eldest sister's husband is the village party secretary, busy with the village's reconstruction all day long, leaving the family affairs to the eldest sister: prying up the floor, installing the chimney, repairing the kitchen, brushing the doors and windows, and even helping the neighbors carry the house. Fortunately, the second sister is there to help. The third sister has become a mother of two children. After the children go to school, she finishes her housework, picks up her eyebrow pencil, and carefully puts on makeup - the camera cuts back to 20 years ago, when the 17-year-old third sister was trimming her eyebrows. The camera witnessed a woman's growth from 17 to 37 years old. She put away her personal dreams and took on family responsibilities. What remains unchanged is a heart that loves beauty. The fourth sister opened a restaurant in the mountains of Jiuzhaigou (九寨沟), busy from morning to night, occasionally returning to Elizhai (厄哩寨) to look for her childhood home.
Of course, the movie features not only the four sisters' family, but also Long Pangzi (龙胖子), who dares to love and hate, reclaiming land in a pile of ruins and planting vegetables; Xiong Hua (熊花), who lives in the village all the time, collecting herbs and cutting grass; and the grandmother who raises bees, and the cousin who moves houses... These named and unnamed characters constitute the group portrait of Baima women. "White Horse Sisters" records the vicissitudes and changes of the Baima Village (白马寨) in the depths of the mountains from being closed to opening up over the past 20 years. Of course, this is not only the progress of Baima (白马), but also a side view of the development and progress of the entire Chinese society.
