"These 5 years, life has been as beautiful as a flower!"
Sitting in her own well-ventilated three-bedroom apartment, Reji Wuguo (惹记伍果), the building leader of Mu'endi Community (沐恩邸社区) in Chengdong Town (城北镇), Zhaojue County (昭觉县), Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (凉山彝族自治州), Sichuan Province (四川省), has a bright smile.
In May 2020, she bid farewell to the "cliff village" deep in the Daliang Mountains (大凉山) that once made General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) "feel very concerned." Through relocation, she moved into the building in Mu'endi Community and successfully escaped poverty. She works in an embroidery workshop, her daughter goes to school right at her doorstep, and it takes only 15 minutes to get to the county hospital for medical treatment... Reji Wuguo said emotionally, "The Communist Party is *wajiva* (瓦吉瓦) (very good), General Secretary, *kashasha* (卡沙沙) (thank you)!"
How to consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation and connect with the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside is something that General Secretary Xi Jinping always has in mind.
The Party Central Committee decided that after the goals and tasks of poverty alleviation are completed, a 5-year transition period will be established for counties that have escaped poverty, starting from the date of their poverty alleviation.
"For the poverty-stricken counties, poverty-stricken villages, and impoverished people who have been lifted out of poverty, we must maintain the overall stability of the existing assistance policies and give them a helping hand."
"We must continue to promote the organic connection with the rural revitalization strategy, ensure that there is no large-scale return to poverty, and effectively maintain and consolidate the great achievements of the battle against poverty."
Since entering the transition period, General Secretary Xi Jinping has conducted in-depth inspections in poverty-stricken areas every year, making a series of important instructions. His earnest exhortations are full of deep feelings of "letting the villagers live a good life" and demonstrate the firm determination of Chinese Communists to 咬定青山不放松 (yǎo dìng qīng shān bù fàng sōng - "bite the green hills and not relax," to remain steadfast and determined).
Bearing in mind the entrustment and continuing to struggle, in the past 5 years, all regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the "four no removals" requirements, continued to increase policy support and assistance, and built a "connecting bridge" to the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. The vast number of cadres and the masses in poverty-stricken areas have worked hard and diligently to consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, connect with the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, and the lives of the people who have been lifted out of poverty are improving steadily like sesame flowers blooming higher and higher.
China's successful practice has fully demonstrated to the world that poverty can not only be overcome, but also be prevented from recurring.
Improving mechanisms and providing precise assistance—
"Absolutely no large-scale return to poverty should occur"
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "We must improve the dynamic monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent the return to poverty, and implement regular monitoring of people who are prone to return to poverty" and "The bottom line for poverty alleviation must be as solid as a rock, and absolutely no large-scale return to poverty should occur."
Not a single person can be left behind on the road to a moderately prosperous society, and not a single person can be left behind on the road to common prosperity. The original aspiration of Chinese Communists is as firm as a rock.
Farmers independently report, grassroots cadres investigate, and departments screen and give early warnings. "People looking for people" and "data looking for people" work together to make the "monitoring network" in various places increasingly dense, continuously improve the monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent the return to poverty, and strive to achieve early detection, early intervention, and early assistance.
With monitoring and assistance in place, the family of Han Haiming (韩海明), a villager in Tumuhe Village (土木河村), Mujing Township (木井乡), She County (涉县), Hebei Province (河北省), has not only not fallen into poverty due to illness, but their lives are becoming more and more promising.
Han Haiming's family usually relies on farming and odd jobs for a living. In July 2022, he was diagnosed with cardia cancer and intestinal obstruction. Two operations cost nearly 160,000 yuan. "The village cares about us very much. According to the steps on the 'policy publicity paper,' I applied on my mobile phone to be included in the monitoring object for preventing the return to poverty," Han Haiming said.
"Han Haiming's medical expenses are high. As the main labor force in the family, he cannot work due to illness, and the family income has decreased significantly. There are also 3 children in the family who are in school, and life is indeed difficult." After verification, Han Suyun (韩素云), a village cadre in Tumuhe Village, suggested that Han Haiming be included in the monitoring object.
Subsequently, after democratic evaluation and publicity by the villagers' representative meeting, review and approval by the county level, and announcement, Han Haiming was identified as a monitoring object for preventing the return to poverty. A tailor-made assistance plan was then implemented: 99,000 yuan of poverty prevention insurance assistance, application for the whole family to be on the edge of the minimum living guarantee, and the second daughter and youngest son who are receiving compulsory education enjoy the "two exemptions and one subsidy" policy.
"Now my health is recovering well. I drive a loader on a construction site and can earn 150 yuan a day. My wife works as a helper in the canteen of a factory at the entrance of the village and can earn 2,400 yuan a month. With various subsidies, life is becoming more and more relaxed," Han Haiming said.
"Multi-departmental collaboration, information sharing, smooth online and offline application channels, and the formulation of a 'toolbox' list of policies to prevent the return to poverty, ensuring that all those who should be included are included and that precise assistance is provided," said Wang Wusheng (王武生), Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of She County.
The operation of a "single network," the promotion of a "coordinated game," precise assistance, and a solid bottom line. Since the transition period, as of the end of October this year, the country has cumulatively identified and assisted more than 7 million monitoring objects to stably eliminate the risk of returning to poverty, and has maintained the bottom line of not allowing a large-scale return to poverty.
Consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation and connecting with the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, policies are continuously implemented, and assistance is not reduced.
A series of connecting policies have been successively introduced, and the central government has cumulatively invested 850.5 billion yuan in subsidies to connect with the promotion of rural revitalization. Multi-faceted policy measures are combined into a fist, tilting support towards the development of key national rural revitalization assistance counties.
East-West collaboration, fixed-point assistance, village-based assistance, and social forces assistance, the "four forces" are going all out. 8 eastern provinces and cities, 310 central units, more than 6,000 enterprises, and nearly 300 social organizations are each displaying their strengths. 150,000 village-based work teams and more than 500,000 village-based cadres are fighting on the front line, guarding the bottom line, helping development, and promoting revitalization.
Increasing income and adding happiness—
"Let the lives of people who have been lifted out of poverty reach a new level"
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "To consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, we must rely more on industrial development and continuously enhance the endogenous driving force for development" and "Let the lives of people who have been lifted out of poverty reach a new level."
This concern is full of deep affection; this concern warms people's hearts.
"The Party's policies are so good, we must also work hard to make our lives better and better!" The morning light penetrates the thin mist and shines on the fields of Nasou Village (那受村), Yucai Ecological Zone (育才生态区), Sanya City (三亚市), Hainan Province (海南省). Su Qiwen (苏其文), a villager who has been lifted out of poverty, is busy in the fields early in the morning. He is now a agricultural technician in the village and has also taken the lead in establishing a professional cooperative. Last year, his various incomes were nearly 300,000 yuan.
The key to Su Qiwen's change lies in his skills. The "field classroom" opened in the village invites experts to the fields to teach hands-on, turning Su Qiwen from an ordinary farmer into a "plant doctor." The "field classroom" has organized 1,450 training sessions, helping the village solve employment for 1,199 people. Xiao Chunlei (肖春雷), the first secretary of the Tropical Agricultural Science Research Institute of Sanya City stationed in Nasou Village, introduced novel, unique, and high-quality varieties such as purple sugar apples and rainbow watermelons to the village, greatly increasing land output. "The villagers are very enthusiastic about planting, and the supply of seedlings cannot keep up," Xiao Chunlei said.
With industrial upgrading and employment as the foundation, from 2021 to 2024, the average annual disposable income of the people who have been lifted out of poverty in Nasou Village increased from 16,800 yuan to 29,400 yuan, and the village's collective economic income jumped from 246,000 yuan to 2.44 million yuan. The village's infrastructure and public services have also been significantly improved. Since the transition period, the village has built more than 30 kilometers of new roads, equipped with 222 street lights, centralized treatment of domestic sewage, and also built a new health center and comprehensive cultural center. "Living conditions are getting better and better," Su Qiwen said.
Nasou Village is a microcosm.
Since the transition period, more than 85% of the people who have been lifted out of poverty and the monitored households have received assistance from at least one industrial assistance policy. The scale of employment of the labor force that has been lifted out of poverty has remained above 30 million people every year, and the income gap between the people who have been lifted out of poverty and the national farmers has continued to narrow. The dropout rate of students in compulsory education in poverty-stricken families has been dynamically cleared, the participation rate of the people who have been lifted out of poverty and the monitored objects in basic medical insurance has remained stable above 99%, the renovation of dilapidated rural houses and the seismic renovation of rural houses have been steadily promoted, and the lives of the people who have been lifted out of poverty are becoming more and more prosperous, and the happiness index is getting higher and higher.
Deeper changes are taking place.
The millennium-old culture and natural charm coexist in harmony. Guanglu Ancient Town (光禄古镇), Yao'an County (姚安县), Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture (楚雄彝族自治州), Yunnan Province (云南省), is crowded with tourists. The ancient town's "popularity" is inseparable from the innovative spirit of Zhao Yongzhi (赵勇志), the "Rural CEO."
Zhao Yongzhi participated in the training course organized by China International Intellectech Corporation (中国国际技术智力合作集团有限公司), which provides fixed-point assistance to Yao'an County, and also went to other places to learn about the development experience of the rural tourism industry. After completing his studies, he revitalized more than 100 sets of idle farm courtyards, attracting more than 50 tourism entrepreneurs to open new businesses such as coffee courtyards and youth hostels, driving more than 400 people who have been lifted out of poverty to find employment and increase their income.
Gao Lili (高立立), Director of the Fixed-Point Assistance Office of China International Intellectech Corporation, introduced that the company relies on the "Central Enterprise Talent Promotes Revitalization" project undertaken by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and has cumulatively trained more than 2,000 "Rural CEOs" and heads of new rural business entities for 70 fixed-point assistance counties of central enterprises, greatly enhancing their development and driving capabilities.
The combination of ambition and intelligence adds momentum. "One skill enriches the whole family," the "Rain and Dew Program" illuminates the path to skills and success. Since the transition period, more than 3 million new labor forces from poverty-stricken families have received vocational education and achieved stable employment and income increase. "One skill leads thousands of families," rural craftsmen lead the way to prosperity. More than 130,000 rural craftsmen have been trained nationwide, helping 2.3 million people master craftsman skills and driving more than 5 million people to find employment "at their doorstep."
From "let me do it" to "I want to do it" and "I can do it," the driving force for development is stronger, the ability to get rich is stronger, and the vast number of people who have been lifted out of poverty are working hard to move towards a better life. Countless people's destinies have been changed because of this, countless people's dreams have been realized because of this, and countless people's happiness has been achieved because of this.
Revitalizing industries and stimulating vitality—
"Promote the concentration of various resources and assistance measures on promoting industrial development and expanding employment"
"To consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, we must take promoting the accelerated development of poverty-stricken counties as the main direction" "We must think of more ways to promote the accelerated development of poverty-stricken areas, and promote the concentration of various resources and assistance measures on promoting industrial development and expanding employment"...
General Secretary Xi Jinping's deep concern inspires the vast number of cadres and the masses in poverty-stricken areas to work hard and accelerate development.
In Pingyu County (平舆县), Henan Province (河南省), in winter, in the county-level leading industrial park, leading enterprises are busy rushing to produce outdoor leisure products; in the township-level rural revitalization industrial park, the outdoor leisure bag production line is in full swing; in the village-level common prosperity processing park, villagers are skillfully weaving chair surfaces for leisure rattan chairs.
The "three parks" are constructed together, gathering "chains" into groups, forming clusters, strengthening the county and enriching the people. Last year, the output value of the outdoor leisure industry in Pingyu County exceeded 10 billion yuan, and the village-level common prosperity processing park drove 100,000 people to increase their income by more than 30,000 yuan per year. Since the transition period, the average annual increase in per capita income of farmers in the county has reached 8%.
Planing, chiseling, mortising, assembling... In the Yile Hardware High-tech Industrial Park (以勒五金高新产业园) in Zhenxiong County (镇雄县), Zhaotong City (昭通市), Yunnan Province, the factory workshops are busy.
"Every month, five to six thousand wooden doors are shipped out of the factory. In the past four months, customer orders have increased by 15%." After graduating from university, Zhai Peisu (翟培素), general manager of Yunnan Nostalgia Wood Industry Company (云南乡愁木业公司), has been running a factory in the Xundian Industrial Park (寻甸产业园区) in Kunming City (昆明市). In recent years, he has always wanted to explore the market outside the province. In October last year, he returned to his hometown of Zhenxiong to open a branch factory in the Hardware High-tech Industrial Park, and the market expanded immediately.
What attracted Zhai Peisu to return to his hometown to start a business is Zhaotong's geographical advantage at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. Because transportation has greatly improved in recent years, cross-provincial logistics is convenient, and the park has also built a logistics service center and a supply chain center, and opened 4 logistics lines to Guiyang (贵阳), Kunming (昆明), Chengdu (成都), and Chongqing (重庆). "There are logistics companies that specialize in docking, which not only reduces transportation costs by 10%, but also achieves 24-hour freight, and the market competitiveness is significantly enhanced," Zhai Peisu said.
Zhenxiong County has 490,000 people who have been working outside the county for a long time, and many have become entrepreneurs, management elites, or highly skilled talents. In recent years, the changes in their hometown have been rapid, and more and more people are choosing to return to their hometown to start a business.
"Attracting one person back, driving a string of people, and radiating an area." Wen Huaihong (文怀宏), a member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of Zhenxiong County, introduced that the first phase of the park has absorbed more than 1,300 people for employment, and it is expected that more than 10,000 jobs can be arranged after the park is fully completed. At present, enterprises are stepping up winter recruitment.
In Zhenxiong County, in addition to the Hardware High-tech Industrial Park, the Textile and Garment Industrial Park, the Green Food Processing Industrial Park, and the Commercial and Trade Industrial Park have all been fully operational, driving employment for 21,000 people. From 2020 to last year, the county's gross regional product steadily increased from 21.782 billion yuan to 35.902 billion yuan.
Shortcomings are made up, and industries are booming. Since the transition period, poverty-stricken areas have presented a new era of great changes in the mountains and villages and the revitalization and development. All 832 poverty-stricken counties in the country have cultivated 2 to 3 leading industries with prominent advantages, distinctive characteristics, and strong driving capabilities. The endogenous driving force of the vast number of poverty-stricken areas has been enhanced, vitality has been strengthened, and economic and social development has been catching up by leaps and bounds.
The transition period is coming to an end, and the "15th Five-Year Plan" will be launched. Entering a new stage of normalized assistance, the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal proposes to "continue to consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation" and "coordinate and establish a normalized mechanism to prevent the return to poverty."
The journey is long, and only struggle can lead to success. The vast number of cadres and the masses in poverty-stricken areas are continuing to firmly guard the bottom line of not allowing a large-scale return to poverty with an unremitting spirit and a forward-looking attitude, and are striving towards the beautiful prospect of comprehensive rural revitalization!

The grassroots level is the "last mile" for policy implementation and the "first mile" for serving the people.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) attaches great importance to rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level, emphasizing the need to "implement a long-term mechanism for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level, so that the vast number of grassroots cadres have more energy to focus on implementation" and "support grassroots cadres in boldly doing their jobs and establishing prestige, and support the people in relying on their own strength to solve problems in social governance."
This year, in-depth implementation of the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation learning and education has identified "gaps in rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level" as one of the key areas for centralized rectification. The special work mechanism for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level at the central level has made multiple deployments and requirements. From the central to the local levels, typical problems of rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level have been publicly reported multiple times. All regions, departments, and units have strictly implemented the "Several Provisions on Rectifying Formalism and Reducing Burdens at the Grassroots Level," and have deepened and solidified all work to reduce burdens at the grassroots level.
As the end of the year approaches, reporters go to the front lines, visit the grassroots, listen to the voices of grassroots cadres, and explore the effectiveness of reducing burdens at the grassroots level.
Breaking through pain points and difficulties, freeing up hands and feet to work.
As night fell in Suihua (绥化), Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省), Ms. Yang, who came to take the exam, frowned at the train station. As soon as she got off the train, she found that her ID card was lost, and she trotted all the way to the Jianshe Police Station (建设派出所) of the Beilin Branch (北林分局) of the Suihua Public Security Bureau (绥化市公安局).
"Thanks to the police station for recently starting to provide 24-hour ID card processing services, I got a temporary ID card in less than 10 minutes, which did not delay the exam the next day," Ms. Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
The change in service is behind the change in work style. In July of this year, the office of the special work mechanism for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level at the central level, together with the General Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, reported the problem of the Suihua Public Security Bureau conducting assessments on grassroots public security organs in disguise in the name of "battle situation statistics." The Suihua Public Security Bureau comprehensively carried out investigation and cleanup, canceled disguised assessments and statistical reports that additionally increased the burden on the grassroots level; at the same time, it insisted on giving equal importance to problem rectification and work style tempering, always focusing on its main responsibilities and main business, so that the actual effect of rectification can truly be reflected in maintaining safety and serving the people.
"In the past, everyone was exhausted from filling out forms and doing assessments," said the head of the Jianshe Police Station. "Now we are wholeheartedly providing more thoughtful services to the people."
At the end of the year, various tasks enter a concentrated "inspection period," and the assessments of various departments and lines are gradually put on the agenda.
Tang Huiyun (唐会云), director of the Party Building Office of Huayuan Street (华苑街道), Nankai District (南开区), Tianjin (天津市), said: "In previous years, in mid-to-late December, it was time to write summaries, fill out forms, and report materials in a concentrated manner, but this year is different."
It turns out that this year's assessment process has changed. The Organization Department of the Nankai District Committee (南开区委组织部) took the lead in establishing a consultation and judgment mechanism, which usually dynamically grasps a large amount of data and examples, and also holds regular meetings to study and judge. When it comes to the year-end assessment, the materials that need to be submitted are naturally reduced.
The transformation of assessment to "unfelt, traceless, and invisible" not only unloads unnecessary burdens on the grassroots level, but also makes the guidance of practical work more distinct. "In the past, the process was cumbersome and there were many items, which made it difficult to grasp the key points; now the process is more optimized and the content is more focused, which is to let the data answer and speak with actual results," said Li Li (李力), chief of the cadre evaluation section of the Organization Department of the Nankai District Committee.
Grassroots governance relies on people. However, in the past, random borrowing, excessive borrowing, and "borrowing without returning" and other chaotic phenomena of cadre borrowing weakened grassroots forces and increased grassroots burdens.
"Has a cadre been borrowed by a higher-level agency, how long has he been borrowed, and has he returned to his post?" Not long ago, Lü Yu (吕煜), a member of the Organization Committee of the Party Committee of Simen Town (泗门镇), Yuyao City (余姚市), Ningbo (宁波市), Zhejiang Province (浙江省), received a call from relevant departments in Ningbo and truthfully reported the local situation. Lü Yu has received such inquiries for the second time.
Ningbo City selected 29 of the city's 157 townships (streets) as cadre borrowing monitoring points in order to grasp the actual situation of borrowing in grassroots units and realize the transformation of borrowing management from "passive response" to "active prevention"; at the same time, the organization departments of the municipal and county-level party committees established a regular comparison mechanism to implement two-way verification of information between borrowing units and lending units to ensure that no one is missed in the cleanup and standardization of borrowing.
Taking practical measures to standardize borrowing has made the grassroots level "strong and strong." "The return of borrowed personnel has strengthened our strength and made us more motivated," Lü Yu's words express the feelings of many grassroots cadres.
Establishing institutional mechanisms to shoulder due responsibilities.
The end of the year is the peak period for handling old-age insurance business. In the past, every time this happened, Lin Jin-yi (林锦仪), secretary of the Party General Branch of Lvdong Community (绿岛社区), Nanzhuang Town (南庄镇), Chancheng District (禅城区), Foshan (佛山市), Guangdong Province (广东省), would be daunted: the community did not have the authority to handle it, but was responsible for the entire process of accepting applications, reviewing materials, and explaining policies. If the information was inconsistent, it had to coordinate on both sides, and professional policies had to be inquired by phone. If it was not handled well, residents would have opinions, and if it was handled incorrectly, they would bear the responsibility themselves.
"This year is different," Lin Jin-yi spread out the three lists of job responsibilities on the table - a positive list, a list of legal assistance, and a negative list. Regarding the handling of old-age insurance business, the list of legal assistance clearly stipulates the boundaries of rights and responsibilities: policy publicity, social security review, input and other main businesses belong to the human resources and social security and medical insurance departments; the community is only responsible for guiding residents to handle and assist in sorting out materials.
Unclear rights and responsibilities once made grassroots cadres "do it or not, do it or not." "These lists are work navigation maps, and it is clearly written who takes the lead and who cooperates," Lin Jin-yi said.
Chancheng District has completed the compilation of job responsibility lists for 4 towns and streets, and has reduced more than 100 certification items issued by villages and communities, with a reduction rate of nearly 90%. After the list was implemented, the community said goodbye to "taking on everything." "In the past, a sentence of 'territorial management' from higher-level departments would force grassroots cadres to bite the bullet," Lin Jin-yi said. "Now there is a list, the system is established, and the rights and responsibilities are clear when handling affairs in accordance with the regulations. The burden on the grassroots level is reduced, and it is easier for the people to handle affairs."
From "thousands of threads" to "three lists," it is clear at a glance whether to do it, who does it, and how to do it, which also allows grassroots cadres to have more time and energy to take the initiative and shoulder their due responsibilities.
The system manages the fundamentals and benefits the long term, strengthens source governance, and creates a long-term mechanism, so that the work of reducing burdens at the grassroots level continues to deepen towards fundamental solutions.
Not long ago, a higher-level department came to Sihu Mountain Town (泗湖山镇), Yuanjiang City (沅江市), Yiyang City (益阳市), Hunan Province (湖南省) to inspect and accept a project. Near noon, visitors walked into the town government canteen and opened the "Xiangban Tong" software to call up the assistance dining QR code. Chen Xin-yu (陈歆煜), deputy mayor of Sihu Mountain Town, scanned the code to verify and confirmed that the number of people and the reason were correct. The entire meal took less than 20 minutes, and everyone took a short rest and rushed to the next project site.
"In the past, a reception meal required a reception plan and consideration of procedures and etiquette," Chen Xin-yu said. "Now, only a simple 'three-piece set' of a letter, a meal standard, and a code is needed."
This year, the General Office of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government issued the "Several Measures on Further Standardizing Official Meals in the Province," stipulating that official reception units in the province generally do not arrange working meals, and public officials apply online through the "Xiangban Tong" platform, dine with a code, and pay online. Yuanjiang City revised its local official reception management measures and also launched a standardized package featuring home-style dishes.
"The province has clear regulations, the city has detailed standards, and grassroots cadres no longer have to worry about meal arrangements and process reporting, and there is less risk of exceeding the standard for reception," said Cao Chao (曹超), chief of the reception section of the Yuanjiang City Government Affairs Service Center.
Increasing motivation and vitality, improving governance effectiveness.
In Jinghong (景洪), Yunnan (云南), the Lancang River (澜沧江) is full of fireworks under the night, the street restaurants are neat and orderly, and tourists and citizens stroll leisurely - it is hard to imagine that a year ago, residents and shops here were still arguing over problems such as occupying roads for business, oily smoke, and noise.
"We can only verbally persuade, the legal provisions are not clear, and the effect of grinding our lips is not effective," Yan Han-ying (岩罕应), secretary of the Party General Branch of Wangjiang Community (望江社区), Jiangbei Street (江北街道), recalled that without law enforcement power, governance was in vain.
The community reported the problem to the street party working committee. The Gaozhuang Xishuangjing (告庄西双景) Party Building Coordination Mechanism was immediately launched, and staff from the market supervision, comprehensive law enforcement, and ecological environment departments went to the door in groups to publicize policies and regulations and punish illegal operations according to their respective law enforcement jurisdiction areas, and the problem was solved.
"If the bottom line is drawn in place, the law is explained clearly, and the advantages and disadvantages are explained clearly, merchants can understand and consciously operate legally," said Chai Hai-jun (柴海军), director of the Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Branch of the Jinghong Municipal Market Supervision Bureau. The community also made a "three-chapter agreement" with merchants, delineating business boundaries in densely populated catering areas to achieve a win-win situation for order and vitality.
"Reducing burdens for the grassroots level focuses on empowering them, and the key is to promote the sinking of resources," introduced the relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Jinghong Municipal Party Committee. The Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Party Building Coordination Mechanism has helped the grassroots level solve more than 500 problems such as social security, tourism complaints, and traffic order.
In the Gulin Community (古林社区) Party-Masses Service Center of Ninghai Road Street (宁海路街道), Gulou District (鼓楼区), Nanjing (南京市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), Wang Jie (王杰), secretary of the Gulin Community Party Committee, sat in front of the computer, opened the digital platform, uploaded the report, and the system quickly completed the identification and synchronization, and the changes in resident information were accurately updated to the database, and reminder information was automatically pushed to the grid members.
Such a convenient operation was something Wang Jie never dared to think of: "In the past, updating data had to be screened from hundreds of data, then entered into the form one by one, and forwarded to the grid members one by one, which was time-consuming, laborious, and prone to errors."
In March of this year, Ninghai Road Street piloted the "Digital Social Worker" platform to realize intelligent data processing. The data burden on community cadres has been reduced, and they have further relied on massive data resources to develop applications to make community services more precise.
"Mr. Liu, an elderly person living alone, has a 24-hour water consumption of less than 0.005 tons, please contact him for verification!" After receiving the information from the intelligent water meter guardian care early warning platform, community worker Gu Jin (顾进) and his colleagues went to the door and found that the elderly person had fallen to the ground and could not get up, and immediately sent him to the hospital for treatment. Today, the elderly person has recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
"Technology empowerment makes services more refined!" Gu Jin said.
Reducing burdens for the grassroots level is fundamentally an efficiency revolution, promoting the modernization of the grassroots governance system and governance capabilities.
Wukang Building (武康大楼), a famous internet celebrity check-in place in Shanghai (上海), attracts a constant stream of tourists. But what follows is the surrounding governance problem. "Local residents are happy that the location is famous, but worried about environmental order problems, and tourists' toilet needs are a problem," said Xia Ying (夏颖), a grid liaison officer in Huashan (华山) Grid, Xinhua Road Street (新华路街道), Changning District (长宁区), Shanghai.
The area around Wukang Building spans Xuhui (徐汇) and Changning districts, involving the jurisdiction of Tianping Road (天平路), Hunan Road (湖南路), and Xinhua Road streets. How to break down administrative barriers and form governance synergy?
Shanghai's promotion of Party building-led "multi-grid integration" has become the key to solving the problem. In March of this year, the area under the jurisdiction of Xinhua Road Street was divided into Huashan, Xinhua, and Kaixuan (凯旋) three major grids. The newly established Huashan Grid made full use of the "district-line-street-grid" four-level response mechanism and jointly worked with the greening department and Donglian Company to transform a storage room into a convenient public toilet in just 45 days.
"We have established a line-block linkage mechanism at the municipal level to better realize the matching and empowerment of line-block resources. At the same time, we actively promote the establishment of problem-solving mechanisms at the district level, and have initially formed a good pattern of multi-party co-governance," said the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee's special work mechanism office for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level.
Lighten the burden and let go of work. Today, there is less "received" and more "done"; less filling out forms and reporting numbers, and more time to serve the people; streamlined supervision and assessment, and high enthusiasm for work... Grassroots cadres have lighter burdens and more practical work styles, and are constantly焕发新活力、展现新作为 **(huàn fā xīn huó lì, zhǎn xiàn xīn zuò wéi - "radiating new vitality, showing new achievements," to display a new spirit and make new contributions)** on the front lines of reform and development.

Return to Top"The Fourth Plenary Session points the way, rural revitalization writes a new chapter, medical care and education are guaranteed, and life is getting sweeter and sweeter!" On December 18, in Tingluo Town (汀罗镇), Lijin County (利津县), Dongying City (东营市), Shandong Province (山东省), a unique publicity event was underway.
The actors of the "Lao Gaiting Sheng" (老盖汀声) Literary and Art Studio used local dialects to perform stories of people around them, integrating the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee into vivid plots, making theoretical publicity interesting. "The jokes inside are brilliantly written. After listening, I laughed for a long time, and I remembered the theory firmly!" said Dai Jianguo (戴建国), an audience member.
In Liuhang Community (柳行社区), Jiyang Street (济阳街道), Rencheng District (任城区), Jining City (济宁市), neighbors moved small benches and sat in a circle. The "mobile tea table" publicity event began in the fragrant tea and familiar local accents. From community environmental improvement to employment assistance, from property services to cultural entertainment, residents interacted with the publicity team members, each offering their own opinions.
Recently, publicity teams from various regions and departments such as Shandong (山东), Shaanxi (陕西), Xinjiang (新疆), and Tsinghua University (清华大学) have gone deep into the grassroots, explaining the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in ways that the masses love to see and hear, and transforming policy theories into vivid practices in local dialects. The publicity activities "connect with the heavens above and are grounded in the earth below," allowing the spirit of the Plenary Session to take root in the hearts of every member of the public through lively and vivid writing styles.
Leading cadres take the lead in speaking, the Party Committee publicity team gives demonstration speeches, experts and scholars give in-depth explanations, and industry and the public interact in discussions... In recent days, Shaanxi (陕西) has adhered to provincial, municipal, and county-level coordination, coordinating and mobilizing resources and strengths from all aspects, classifying them by level, precisely targeting them, and going deep into enterprises, rural areas, government agencies, campuses, communities, etc., to carry out object-oriented, segmented, and interactive publicity, promoting the spirit of the Plenary Session to penetrate deeply into people's hearts. As of now, the province has carried out more than 16,000 publicity events on the spirit of the Plenary Session, reaching nearly 1.5 million people.
Various places in Shaanxi (陕西) have also given full play to the role of New Era Civilization Practice Centers, industry publicity teams, youth publicity teams, and mass publicity brands, using easy-to-understand language and vivid examples, in forms that the masses love to see and hear, to explain the spirit of the Plenary Session well, vividly, and thoroughly.
Baoji City (宝鸡市) has leveraged the role of the "Spark Publicity Team" (星火宣讲团), coordinating model workers, craftsmen, science and technology workers, young teachers and students, etc., to form small publicity teams to carry out publicity at the grassroots level. Tongchuan City (铜川市) has used New Era Civilization Practice Centers, literary and art courtyards, and farmer courtyards as positions to organize young literary and art workers and publicity backbones to create literary and art publicity works and carry out online and offline publicity. Yulin City (榆林市) has relied on grassroots theoretical publicity brands such as "Monthly Theory Lectures" (理论月月讲) and "Small Village, Big Classroom" (小村庄大课堂) to carry out activities such as "Sending Publicity to the Grassroots."
A wave of studying, publicizing, and implementing the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee is rising in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Xinjiang (新疆) has formed an autonomous region's public mobile publicity team. As of now, it has gone deep into some townships and villages in 24 counties (cities and districts), 15 secondary and higher vocational colleges, and 12 enterprises to carry out 48 segmented and interactive publicity events, allowing the spirit of the Plenary Session to "fly into the homes of ordinary people."
"As a Western China volunteer rooted in the frontier, I will strengthen my ideals and beliefs, cultivate my patriotic feelings, implement the spirit of the Plenary Session in my daily work and study, respond to the call of the times with the power of youth, and strive to be a builder and witness of a socialist modernized Xinjiang (新疆)," said Nurbiye Rehman (努尔比耶·热合曼), a Western China university student volunteer in Akto County (阿克陶县), Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture (克孜勒苏柯尔克孜自治州), Xinjiang (新疆).
As of now, various regions, departments, and units in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) have carried out a total of 33,000 publicity events, with 4.234 million listeners.
At a theme day organized by the Tsinghua University (清华大学) Doctoral Student Lecturer Group, young Party members shared their understanding of the spirit of the Plenary Session on multiple themes such as how young people can help achieve self-reliance in science and technology, promote the construction of a beautiful China, and participate in cultural communication and international exchanges. The students conducted group discussions based on their own learning experiences, professional fields, and real-world observations, and the atmosphere was warm.
After the Plenary Session was held, Tsinghua University (清华大学) immediately integrated the spirit of the Plenary Session into ideological and political courses such as "Situation and Policy" and centralized training for Party members throughout the school. For the first time, it conducted discussions on education, science and technology, and talent work throughout the school, and achieved full coverage of learning for teachers and students through cadre-led learning, expert reports, and youth publicity, transforming the spirit of the Plenary Session into practical results in comprehensively promoting the high-quality development of a world-class university with Chinese characteristics.
The Tsinghua University (清华大学) Doctoral Student Lecturer Group has leveraged the advantages of peer-to-peer publicity and education to guide students to integrate their personal ideals and pursuits into the cause of the Party and the country. It has also jointly filmed and produced micro-videos related to the Party's innovative theories with the school's departments and leagues, which are planned to be released on the school's platforms one after another.

In recent years, the people's demand for "affordable" and "high-quality" kindergartens for children of the right age has become increasingly strong, and kindergarten fee policies need to keep pace with the times. Recently, in order to better promote the universal, inclusive, safe, and high-quality development of preschool education, effectively reduce the cost of childcare and education for the people, and promote the improvement of the fertility support policy system, the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委), the Ministry of Education (教育部), and the Ministry of Finance (财政部) jointly issued the "Notice on Improving Kindergarten Fee Policies" (《关于完善幼儿园收费政策的通知》).
Adhering to the Public Welfare Attribute Positioning, Promoting the Rational Formation of Fee Standards
The notice adheres to the public welfare attribute positioning of preschool education, promotes the rational formation of fee standards, and better leverages the guiding and stimulating role of fee policies on high-quality and inclusive supply. The main contents include:
Standardizing fee items, clarifying that kindergartens can charge five items: childcare and education fees, accommodation fees, childcare fees for providing childcare services, service fees, and agency fees.
Classifying and improving the management methods of fees. The childcare and education fees and accommodation fees of public kindergartens, inclusive private kindergartens, and other non-profit private kindergartens are subject to government-guided prices. The childcare and education fees and accommodation fees of for-profit private kindergartens, as well as the service fees and agency fees of various kindergartens, are subject to market-adjusted prices. The childcare fees charged by kindergartens for opening childcare classes are managed with reference to childcare and education fees.
Clarifying the principles for setting fee standards. The fee standards for government-guided prices should be based on the cost after deducting government investment, free social donations, etc., and should be reasonably determined by comprehensively considering the local economic and social development level, the affordability of the people, the market supply and demand situation, the nature of the institution, and the type of service. Service fees and agency fees are charged according to the principle of cost compensation and actual expenditure, respectively.
Improving the fee policy evaluation and optimization mechanism, requiring relevant departments in various regions to strengthen fee monitoring, and regularly evaluate the fee management methods, fee items, and fee standards through cost surveys, self-assessments, and evaluations by third-party institutions, and adjust and optimize relevant policies in a timely manner.
Establishing a directory list system, implementing directory list management for kindergarten fees, establishing two directory lists for service fees and agency fees in various regions and kindergarten fees in the kindergartens themselves, and strengthening fee publicity. No fees may be charged if they are not on the list or have not been publicized.
Strengthening the supervision of fee behavior, requiring relevant departments in various regions to guide kindergartens to establish and improve financial, accounting, and asset management systems, and put forward clear requirements for standardizing fee collection and refund behaviors.
Guiding Public Kindergartens to Improve the Quality of Education and For-Profit Private Kindergartens to Charge Reasonable Fees
A news spokesperson for the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) introduced that the notice has four main characteristics:
More emphasis is placed on reflecting the public welfare attributes of inclusive and non-profit private kindergartens. At present, some inclusive private kindergartens and other non-profit private kindergartens charge market-adjusted prices, and some kindergartens charge excessively high fees. In accordance with the requirements of the Preschool Education Law, the notice strengthens the public welfare attribute positioning of the two types of kindergartens, and clarifies that government-guided price management is implemented for inclusive and non-profit private kindergartens, so that the fee standards are more reasonable and affordable for parents.
More emphasis is placed on guiding public kindergartens to improve the quality of education. At present, public kindergartens implement government pricing, which makes it difficult to reflect costs and supply and demand changes in a timely manner. The notice clarifies that government pricing will be adjusted to government-guided prices, and public kindergartens can determine specific fee standards within a certain range, guiding and encouraging kindergartens to improve the quality of education and promote the continuous and healthy development of kindergartens.
More emphasis is placed on guiding for-profit private kindergartens to charge reasonable fees. Some for-profit private kindergartens have an excessive profit-seeking tendency, and the fee standards are significantly higher. In accordance with the requirements of the Preschool Education Law, the notice strengthens the fee supervision of for-profit private kindergartens, and clarifies that cost surveys can be carried out when necessary to guide them to charge reasonable fees.
More emphasis is placed on encouraging kindergartens with conditions to provide childcare services. On the one hand, the overall supply of childcare services nationwide is insufficient; on the other hand, the number of new children entering some kindergartens has decreased, and they are willing to open childcare classes to provide childcare services, but it is difficult to cover the cost of childcare services by charging childcare fees according to the kindergarten childcare and education fee standards. In order to better stimulate the enthusiasm of kindergartens to run childcare services and increase the supply of childcare services, the notice clarifies that the childcare fee standards of kindergartens can be reasonably determined with reference to the childcare and education fee standards and according to cost differences.
Standardizing Kindergarten Fee Behavior, Preventing and Governing Random Fee Charges
At present, there are still some random fee charges in terms of kindergarten service fees and agency fees. Individual kindergartens set up a wide variety of service items and charge fees to parents through the parents' committee or by introducing third-party institutions to circumvent supervision. A news spokesperson for the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) said that the notice strengthens source governance and proposes a number of measures for this purpose.
First, it requires all regions to establish a general list of service fees and agency fees in their respective regions based on local conditions. Kindergartens can only select fee items within the list and must not set up fee items on their own beyond the scope of the directory list.
Second, it requires kindergartens to establish their own fee directory list and publicize it to the public and parents in accordance with regulations. No fees may be charged outside the list.
Third, it emphasizes that no fees may be charged in the name of preschool connection classes, interest classes, after-school training, or parent-child characteristic classes, no fees may be charged to parents through the parents' committee or by introducing third-party institutions, and no fees for donations to help students that are linked to enrollment may be charged to parents in any name.
In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) will work with the Ministry of Education (教育部), the Ministry of Finance (财政部) and other relevant departments to guide various regions to accelerate the formulation (revision) of local kindergarten fee management measures, do a good job in the connection between fee policies and free policies, the implementation of relevant tax and fee reduction policies, the identification of inclusive private kindergartens, strengthen departmental coordination, publicity and interpretation, and supervision and inspection, respond to social concerns in a timely manner, and promote the smooth implementation of policies.

The grassroots level is the "last mile" for policy implementation and the "first mile" for serving the people.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) attaches great importance to rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level, emphasizing the need to "implement a long-term mechanism for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level, so that the vast number of grassroots cadres have more energy to focus on implementation" and to "support grassroots cadres in boldly doing their jobs and establishing prestige, and support the people in relying on their own strength to solve problems in social governance."
This year, in-depth implementation of the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation study and education has identified "gaps in rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level" as one of the key areas for centralized rectification. The special working mechanism for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level at the central level has made multiple deployments and requirements. From the central to the local levels, typical problems of rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level have been publicly reported multiple times. All regions, departments, and units have strictly implemented the "Several Provisions on Rectifying Formalism and Reducing Burdens at the Grassroots Level," and have deepened and solidified all work to reduce burdens at the grassroots level.
At the end of the year, reporters went to the front lines, visited the grassroots, listened to the voices of grassroots cadres, and explored the effectiveness of burden reduction at the grassroots level.
Breaking through pain points and difficulties, freeing up hands and feet to work.
As night fell in Suihua (绥化), Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省), Ms. Yang, who came to take the exam, frowned at the train station. As soon as she got off the train, she found that her ID card was lost, and she trotted all the way to the Jianshe Police Station (建设派出所) of the Beilin Branch (北林分局) of the Suihua Public Security Bureau (绥化市公安局).
"Thanks to the police station for providing 24-hour ID card processing services recently, I got a temporary ID card in less than 10 minutes, which did not delay the next day's exam," Ms. Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
The change in service is behind the change in work style. In July of this year, the office of the special working mechanism for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level at the central level, together with the General Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, reported the problem of the Suihua Public Security Bureau conducting assessments on grassroots public security organs in disguise in the name of "battle situation statistics." The Suihua Public Security Bureau comprehensively carried out investigation and cleanup, canceled disguised assessments and statistical reports that additionally increased the burden on the grassroots; at the same time, it insisted on giving equal importance to problem rectification and work style tempering, always focusing on its main responsibilities and businesses, so that the actual effect of rectification can be truly reflected in maintaining security and serving the people.
"In the past, everyone was exhausted from filling out forms and doing assessments," said the head of the Jianshe Police Station. "Now we are wholeheartedly providing more thoughtful services to the people."
At the end of the year, various tasks enter a concentrated "inspection period," and the assessments of various departments and lines are gradually put on the agenda.
Tang Huiyun (唐会云), director of the Party Building Office of Huayuan Street (华苑街道), Nankai District (南开区), Tianjin (天津市), said: "In previous years, in mid-to-late December, we had to write summaries, fill out forms, and report materials in a concentrated manner, but this year is different."
It turns out that this year's assessment process has changed. The Organization Department of the Nankai District Committee took the lead in establishing a consultation and judgment mechanism, which usually dynamically grasps a large amount of data and examples, and also holds regular meetings to study and judge. When it comes to the year-end assessment, the materials that need to be submitted are naturally reduced.
The transformation of assessment to "unfelt, traceless, and invisible" not only unloads unnecessary burdens on the grassroots, but also makes the orientation of practical work more distinct. "In the past, the process was cumbersome and there were many items, which made it difficult to grasp the key points; now the process is more optimized and the content is more focused, which is to let the data answer and speak with actual results," said Li Li (李力), chief of the cadre evaluation section of the Organization Department of the Nankai District Committee.
Grassroots governance depends on people. However, in the past, chaotic phenomena such as arbitrary borrowing, excessive borrowing, and "borrowing without returning" of cadres weakened grassroots forces and increased the burden on the grassroots.
"Has a cadre been borrowed by a higher-level agency, how long has he been borrowed, and has he returned to his post?" Not long ago, Lu Yu (吕煜), a member of the Organization Committee of the Simen Town (泗门镇) Party Committee in Yuyao City (余姚市), Ningbo City (宁波市), Zhejiang Province (浙江省), received a call from relevant departments in Ningbo City and truthfully reported the local situation. Lu Yu has received such inquiries for the second time.
Ningbo City selected 29 of the city's 157 townships (streets) as cadre borrowing monitoring points in order to grasp the actual situation of borrowing in grassroots units and realize the transformation of borrowing management from "passive response" to "active prevention"; at the same time, the organization departments of the municipal and county-level party committees established a regular comparison mechanism and implemented two-way verification of information between borrowing units and lending units to ensure that no one is missed in the cleanup and standardization of borrowing.
Taking practical measures to standardize borrowing has made the grassroots "strong and powerful." "The return of borrowed personnel has strengthened our strength and made us more motivated," Lu Yu said, expressing the feelings of many grassroots cadres.
Establishing institutional mechanisms to shoulder due responsibilities.
The end of the year is the peak period for handling pension insurance business. In the past, every time this happened, Lin Jinyi (林锦仪), secretary of the Party General Branch of Lvdong Community (绿岛社区), Nanzhuang Town (南庄镇), Chancheng District (禅城区), Foshan City (佛山市), Guangdong Province (广东省), would be worried: the community does not have the authority to handle it, but is responsible for the entire process of accepting applications, reviewing materials, and explaining policies. If the information does not match, it has to coordinate on both sides, professional policies have to be inquired by phone, and if it is not handled well, residents have opinions, and if it is handled incorrectly, they have to take responsibility.
"This year is different," Lin Jinyi spread out the three lists of job responsibilities on the table - a positive list, a list of legal assistance, and a negative list. Regarding the handling of pension insurance business, the list of legal assistance clearly stipulates the boundaries of powers and responsibilities: policy publicity, social security review, input and other main businesses belong to the human resources and social security and medical insurance departments; the community is only responsible for guiding residents to handle and assist in sorting out materials.
Unclear powers and responsibilities once made grassroots cadres "do it or not, it's not right." "These lists are work navigation maps, and it is clearly written who leads and who cooperates," Lin Jinyi said.
Chancheng District has completed the preparation of job responsibility lists for 4 towns and streets, and has reduced more than 100 certification items issued by villages and communities, with a reduction rate of nearly 90%. After the list was implemented, the community bid farewell to "taking on everything." "In the past, a sentence of 'territorial management' from higher-level departments would force grassroots cadres to bite the bullet," Lin Jinyi said. "Now there is a list, the system is established, and the powers and responsibilities are clear when handling affairs in accordance with the regulations. The burden on the grassroots is lighter, and it is easier for the people to handle affairs."
From "thousands of threads" to "three lists," it is clear at a glance whether to do it, who does it, and how to do it, which also allows grassroots cadres to have more time and energy to take the initiative and shoulder their due responsibilities.
The system manages the fundamentals and benefits the long term, strengthens source governance, and creates a long-term mechanism, so that the work of reducing burdens for the grassroots continues to deepen towards fundamental solutions.
Not long ago, a higher-level department came to Sihu Mountain Town (泗湖山镇), Yuanjiang City (沅江市), Yiyang City (益阳市), Hunan Province (湖南省) to inspect and accept a project. Near noon, visitors walked into the town government canteen and opened the "Xiangbantong" software to call up the assistance dining QR code. Chen Xinyu (陈歆煜), deputy mayor of Sihu Mountain Town, scanned the code to verify and confirmed that the number of people and the reason were correct. The entire meal took less than 20 minutes, and everyone took a short break and rushed to the next project site.
"In the past, a reception meal required a reception plan and consideration of procedures and etiquette," Chen Xinyu said. "Now, it only needs a minimalist 'three-piece set' of a letter, a meal standard, and a code."
This year, the General Office of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government issued the "Several Measures on Further Standardizing Official Meals in the Province," stipulating that official reception units in the province generally do not arrange working meals, and civil servants apply online through the "Xiangbantong" platform, use the code to eat, and pay online. Yuanjiang City revised its local official reception management measures and also launched a standardized package mainly consisting of home-style dishes.
"The province has clear regulations, the city has detailed standards, and grassroots cadres no longer have to worry about meal arrangements and process reporting, and there is less risk of overspending," said Cao Chao (曹超), chief of the reception section of the Yuanjiang City Government Affairs Service Center.
Increasing motivation and vitality, and improving governance effectiveness.
In Jinghong City (景洪市), Yunnan (云南), the Lancang River (澜沧江) is full of fireworks under the night, the street restaurants are orderly, and tourists and citizens stroll leisurely - it is hard to imagine that a year ago, residents and shops here were still arguing over problems such as occupying roads for business, oily smoke, and noise.
"We can only verbally persuade, the legal provisions are not clear, and the effect of grinding our lips is not effective," Yan Hanying (岩罕应), secretary of the Party General Branch of Wangjiang Community (望江社区), Jiangbei Street (江北街道), recalled that without law enforcement power, governance is in vain.
The community reported the problem to the street party working committee. The Gaozhuang Xishuangjing (告庄西双景) Party Building Coordination Mechanism was immediately launched, and staff from market supervision, comprehensive law enforcement, and ecological environment departments formed a group to visit the door, publicizing policies and regulations and punishing illegal operations according to their respective law enforcement jurisdiction areas, and the problem was solved easily.
"If you draw the bottom line in place, explain the law clearly, and explain the pros and cons clearly, merchants can understand and consciously operate legally," said Chai Haijun (柴海军), director of the Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Branch of the Jinghong City Market Supervision Bureau. The community also made an "agreement" with merchants, delineating business boundaries in densely populated catering areas to achieve a win-win situation for order and vitality.
"Reducing burdens for the grassroots focuses on empowering, and the key is to promote the sinking of resources," introduced the relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Jinghong City Party Committee. The Gaozhuang Xishuangjing Party Building Coordination Mechanism has helped the grassroots solve more than 500 problems such as social security, tourism complaints, and traffic order.
In the Gulin Community (古林社区) Party-Masses Service Center of Ninghai Road Street (宁海路街道), Gulou District (鼓楼区), Nanjing City (南京市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), Wang Jie (王杰), secretary of the Gulin Community Party Committee, sat in front of the computer, opened the digital platform, uploaded the report, and the system quickly completed the identification and synchronization. Changes in resident information were accurately updated to the database, and reminder information was automatically pushed to the grid members.
Such a convenient operation was once something Wang Jie dared not think of: "In the past, updating data required first selecting from hundreds of data, then entering them into the table one by one, and forwarding them to the grid members one by one, which was time-consuming, laborious, and prone to errors."
In March of this year, Ninghai Road Street piloted the "Digital Social Worker" platform to realize intelligent data processing. The data burden of community cadres has been reduced, and it has also further relied on massive data resources to develop applications to make community services more precise.
"Mr. Liu, an elderly person living alone, has a 24-hour water consumption of less than 0.005 tons, please contact him for verification!" After receiving the information from the intelligent water meter guardian care early warning platform, community worker Gu Jin (顾进) and his colleagues went to the door and found that the elderly person had fallen to the ground and was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment. Today, the elderly person has recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
"Technology empowerment makes services more refined!" Gu Jin said.
Reducing burdens for the grassroots is fundamentally an efficiency revolution, promoting the modernization of the grassroots governance system and governance capabilities.
Wukang Building (武康大楼), a famous internet celebrity check-in spot in Shanghai (上海), is visited by an endless stream of tourists. But what follows is the surrounding governance problem. "Local residents are happy that the location is famous, but worried about environmental order problems. Tourists' toilet needs are a problem," said Xia Ying (夏颖), a Huashan grid liaison officer of Xinhua Road Street (新华路街道), Changning District (长宁区), Shanghai.
The area around Wukang Building spans Xuhui (徐汇) and Changning districts, involving the jurisdiction of Tianping Road (天平路), Hunan Road (湖南路), and Xinhua Road streets. How to break down administrative barriers and form governance synergy?
Shanghai's promotion of Party building-led "multi-grid integration" has become the key to solving the problem. In March of this year, the area under the jurisdiction of Xinhua Road Street was divided into three major grids: Huashan, Xinhua, and Kaixuan. The newly established Huashan grid made full use of the "district-line-street-grid" four-level response mechanism, and jointly worked with the greening department and Donglian Company to transform a storage room into a convenient public toilet in just 45 days.
"We have established a line-block linkage mechanism at the municipal level to better realize the matching and empowerment of line-block resources. At the same time, we actively promote the establishment of mechanisms such as problem-level resolution at the district level, and have initially formed a good pattern of multi-party co-governance," said the relevant person in charge of the special working mechanism office for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level at the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee level.
Lightly armed and ready to go, let go and do things. Today, there is less "receiving" and more "doing"; less filling out forms and reporting numbers, and more time to serve the people; the supervision and assessment are streamlined, and the enthusiasm for doing things is high... Grassroots cadres have lighter burdens and a more pragmatic work style, and are constantly rejuvenating new vitality and showing new achievements on the front line of reform and development.

From April 17th to 18th this year, President Xi Jinping (习近平) paid a state visit to Cambodia during the Cambodian traditional New Year. I was fortunate to participate in the welcoming ceremony held at Phnom Penh International Airport (金边国际机场). At the scene, people's faces were filled with joy and excitement.
The protocol arrangements this time were unprecedented. King Norodom Sihamoni (西哈莫尼国王), along with Prince Norodom Chakrapong (夏卡朋亲王), Princess Arun (阿伦公主) and other members of the royal family, Cambodian People's Party (人民党) Chairman and Senate President Hun Sen (洪森), National Assembly First Vice President Cheam Yeap (钱业), as well as five Deputy Prime Ministers including Sok Chenda Sophea (郭索帕), Prak Sokhonn (布拉索昆), Hang Chuon Naron (韩春那洛), Sao Sokha (韶索卡), and Hun Many (洪玛尼), warmly welcomed him at the airport. Princess Jenna (珍娜公主) of the Cambodian royal family presented President Xi Jinping (习近平) with a jasmine garland. Hundreds of people waved the flags of both countries and held red banners with slogans such as "Long live Cambodian-Chinese friendship, unity, and cooperation!" to warmly welcome President Xi Jinping's (习近平) visit.
This was the first time in the 20 years since King Norodom Sihamoni (西哈莫尼国王) ascended the throne that he went to the airport to welcome a foreign dignitary and held a welcoming ceremony at the airport, fully demonstrating the deep ironclad friendship between Cambodia and China.
In October 2016, President Xi Jinping (习近平) paid a state visit to Cambodia. At that time, I was also at Phnom Penh International Airport (金边国际机场) to welcome President Xi Jinping (习近平). This year, I was once again notified to go to the airport to welcome President Xi Jinping (习近平), and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.
President Xi Jinping (习近平) is a great friend deeply loved by the Cambodian people. When President Xi Jinping's (习近平) motorcade traveled from the airport to the hotel, more than 20,000 local people, as well as overseas Chinese, representatives of Chinese-funded enterprises, and international students, crowded the streets, holding photos of the leaders of the two countries and waving the flags of both countries. The atmosphere at the scene was shocking. During the visit, Phnom Penh (金边) was filled with respect for President Xi Jinping (习近平) and friendship towards China.
On the afternoon of the 17th, King Norodom Sihamoni (西哈莫尼国王) met with President Xi Jinping (习近平) at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh (金边王宫) and awarded President Xi Jinping (习近平) the "Grand Cross of the National Independence Medal of the Kingdom of Cambodia (柬埔寨王国民族独立大项链级勋章)". This is Cambodia's highest national honor. "President Xi Jinping (习近平) has special friendly feelings towards Cambodia and has made outstanding contributions to promoting the development of Cambodian-Chinese relations. He is a great friend of Cambodia," King Norodom Sihamoni (西哈莫尼国王) said with deep emotion.
I was present when President Xi Jinping (习近平) and Prime Minister Hun Manet (洪玛奈) held a meeting at the Peace Palace (和平大厦) in Phnom Penh (金边). The two sides jointly reviewed the deep friendship forged by the older generation of leaders and conducted in-depth exchanges on future cooperation. President Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that China believes that Cambodia's path to national development and revitalization will become wider and wider, and will, as always, support the Cambodian People's Party (柬埔寨人民党) in leading the Cambodian people to maintain national stability and economic development, and support Cambodia in playing a more important role on the regional and international stage. Hearing these words, I felt very encouraged.
Close high-level interactions have further consolidated Cambodia-China strategic mutual trust and injected strong impetus into all-round pragmatic cooperation between the two countries. China supports Cambodia in building the Funan Techo Canal (扶南德佐综合水利项目) project in accordance with feasible and sustainable principles. Building the Funan Techo Canal (扶南德佐综合水利项目) project is Cambodia's century-old dream. The project is expected to significantly improve Cambodia's inland waterway transportation system, drive the development of agriculture, logistics, and the economy along the route, and have far-reaching significance for promoting the country's future development.
During this visit, President Xi Jinping (习近平) and Prime Minister Hun Manet (洪玛奈) jointly announced that the relationship between the two countries would be upgraded to a new era of the China-Cambodia community with a shared future. This is the first time that China has upgraded bilateral relations with a Southeast Asian country to an all-weather level, fully demonstrating China's high regard and firm support for the ironclad friendship between the two countries. Over the years, no matter how the international situation has changed, the two countries have always adhered to good faith, helped each other, and set a model of equal treatment, sincere mutual trust, and mutually beneficial win-win cooperation between large and small countries.
In recent years, Chinese imprints can be seen everywhere on Cambodia's development path. From the Huaneng Sambor Hydropower Station (华能桑河二级水电站) to the Cambodia-China Friendship Poverty Alleviation Demonstration Village Project (柬中友好扶贫示范村项目), from the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway (金港高速公路) to the Techo International Airport (德崇国际机场), Cambodia-China cooperation has promoted a new look in Cambodia and allowed countless ordinary families to see a brighter future.
This year is the "Cambodia-China Tourism Year (柬中旅游年)". President Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that the people of the two countries should enhance mutual understanding and friendly feelings and promote exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and Cambodian civilizations. China will continue to provide government scholarships to Cambodia, support the establishment of a China-Cambodia youth dialogue and exchange mechanism, and encourage local governments, media, and think tanks to carry out more exchanges, so that the people of the two countries can get closer and closer. I firmly support this. In recent years, the Cambodia-China Friendship Association (柬中友好协会) has continued to play a bridging role in promoting exchanges between non-governmental organizations and promoting cooperation in the fields of medical care, culture, and education. Recently, the Cambodia-China Friendship Association (柬中友好协会) and the China Peace and Development Foundation (中国和平发展基金会) carried out medical assistance activities to help Cambodia improve the health level in underdeveloped areas.
In the future, we will keep in mind President Xi Jinping's (习近平) instructions, actively deepen exchanges and cooperation with Chinese non-governmental organizations, and work together to promote deeper people-to-people connectivity.

In April of this year, President Xi Jinping (习近平) paid a state visit to Cambodia again after nine years, and the high-level courtesy from the Cambodian side was unprecedented. King Norodom Sihamoni (西哈莫尼国王) received the foreign dignitaries at the airport for the first time in the 20 years since he ascended the throne and held a grand welcoming ceremony for President Xi Jinping (习近平) at the airport. Cambodian People's Party Chairman and Senate President Hun Sen (洪森), together with Prime Minister Hun Manet (洪玛奈), Deputy Prime Minister Hun Many (洪玛尼), and Deputy Commander of the Royal Cambodian Army Hun Manet (洪玛讷), bid farewell to President Xi Jinping (习近平). The scene of tens of thousands of local people welcoming and seeing off President Xi Jinping (习近平) along the way was deeply moving.
President Xi Jinping's (习近平) historic visit fully demonstrated the close and unbreakable ironclad friendship between China and Cambodia. The two sides issued a joint statement and signed 37 cooperation documents, elevating the China-Cambodia relationship to a new height as a new era of all-weather China-Cambodia community with a shared future. This is the first time that China has elevated bilateral relations with a Southeast Asian country to an all-weather level, and it is also the first new era all-weather community with a shared future built at the bilateral level, pointing out the direction and injecting strong impetus for the development of China-Cambodia relations.
In the past six months, China and Cambodia have implemented the visit's achievements with a sense of urgency. The traditional friendship between the two sides has been continued, economic and trade cooperation has been fruitful, and cultural exchanges have become increasingly close, promoting the construction of the China-Cambodia community with a shared future to continue to be at the forefront of the world.
President Xi Jinping (习近平) and his wife Peng Liyuan (彭丽媛) cordially met with King Norodom Sihamoni (西哈莫尼国王) and Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk (莫尼列太后) in Zhongnanhai (中南海), and the two sides agreed to further promote the traditional friendship between China and Cambodia. President Xi Jinping (习近平) met with Prime Minister Hun Manet (洪玛奈), who came to China to attend the 2025 Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit, in Tianjin (天津). Frequent exchanges between the two governments and legislative bodies have released a clear signal of close unity and mutual achievement between China and Cambodia. The Cambodian side publicly reiterated its firm adherence to the one-China principle, that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, supporting China's efforts to achieve national reunification, and opposing any form of "Taiwan independence."
In the first nine months of this year, the trade volume between the two countries reached US$14.2 billion, an increase of 27.5% year-on-year, and China's investment in Cambodia accounted for nearly 53% of Cambodia's total investment. The "Diamond Hexagon" cooperation framework between China and Cambodia has been continuously enriched, and the construction of the "Industrial Development Corridor" and the "Fish and Rice Corridor" has achieved remarkable results. More than 200 enterprises have settled in the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone (西哈努克港经济特区), creating approximately 32,000 jobs for the local area. Nearly 20 kinds of Cambodian agricultural products such as durian and bird's nest have been exported to China. The number of China-Cambodia friendship cities has increased to 34 pairs, the youth dialogue and exchange mechanism has been officially established, and the first batch of intergovernmental joint research projects has been successfully launched. In the first nine months of this year, the number of Chinese tourists to Cambodia reached 890,000, an increase of approximately 47% year-on-year; the number of Cambodian tourists to China was nearly 40,000, an increase of approximately 29% year-on-year. China-Cambodia cultural exchanges are showing a gratifying trend of mutual engagement.
China and Cambodia have carried out in-depth joint efforts to combat telecom and online fraud crimes. Since the beginning of this year, Cambodia has arrested and repatriated more than 2,700 telecom fraud suspects to China, a record high.
The ironclad friendship between China and Cambodia has become a valuable asset for the people of the two countries and is worth cherishing. Facing the intertwined international situation, we are willing to work with Cambodia to take the implementation of President Xi Jinping's (习近平) visit to Cambodia as the main line, and promote the construction of a new era of all-weather China-Cambodia community with a shared future to go steady and far.

In April, Phnom Penh is filled with the delicate fragrance of jasmine in the air. The visit of President Xi Jinping (习近平) added a strong festive atmosphere to the city. On the morning of the 17th, at Phnom Penh International Airport, Cambodian young women dressed in traditional costumes held golden cups filled with pure white jasmine petals, expressing in unison to the camera: "We love China." Along the roads from the airport to the city center, local people lined up early, waving national flags of both countries and welcome banners. This friendship that transcends mountains and seas is integrated into fragrance and smiles, warm and sincere.
The friendship between China and Cambodia has both historical accumulation and grassroots warmth. Hong Zhihao (洪志豪), a Cambodian youth, treasures a letter from 1993 between his maternal grandfather and his maternal grandfather's cousin. The letter reads: "Jieyang (揭阳) is a newly established city with rapid infrastructure development and particularly convenient land and water transportation... Jieyang (揭阳) is a treasure land for foreign investment. In just over a year since its establishment, foreign investment has reached 1.5 billion US dollars..." Between the lines, it reveals the attention of the older generation of Cambodians to China's development. Today, China's development has achieved historic achievements, and the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" between China and Cambodia has helped Cambodia's economic and social development. Roads, bridges, and hydropower stations built by Chinese companies are all over Cambodia. The more than 4,000 kilometers of roads and more than 10 large bridges that have been delivered have significantly improved local connectivity.
The "two-way rush" of economy, trade and tourism adds more "earthiness" to the friendship between China and Cambodia. On the streets of Phnom Penh (金边), Chinese and Khmer signs stand side by side, and Chinese brand stores such as Mixue Bingcheng and Haidilao are lined up. The popularity of mobile payments such as Alipay and WeChat makes Chinese tourists feel particularly welcome. Coinciding with the Cambodian traditional New Year, local people enthusiastically sent New Year blessings to reporters, and the warmth of the ironclad friendship is within reach. Cambodian fruits such as bananas, mangoes, longans, coconuts, and durians continue to enter the Chinese market, which not only enriches the choices of Chinese consumers, but also broadens the space for economic and trade cooperation between China and Cambodia.
In a signed article published in Cambodian media, President Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "With the joint efforts of both sides, the ironclad friendship between China and Cambodia, which has experienced the test of time and wind and rain, will surely remain true to its original aspiration and be of full quality." From the interconnection of infrastructure to the in-depth cooperation in the field of people's livelihood, the friendship between China and Cambodia has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and engraved in their hearts. This friendship that has experienced wind and rain is a vivid portrayal of the shared destiny of the two countries, and also provides a model for friendly relations between countries.

Return to TopIn diplomacy, the "new militarism" presents itself as a "regional security maintainer" on one hand, while frequently provoking disputes on the other. In recent years, Japan has abandoned its post-war foundation of pacifism, deliberately fueling tensions on issues such as the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. By strengthening its alliances and quasi-alliances with countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, it deliberately provokes regional bloc confrontation. This logic of action, which replaces consultation with deterrence, is no different from the expansionist policies that Japan pursued before the war in the name of "lifelines" and "lines of interest." First, deliberately provoke disputes, artificially create and incite "threats," and then use this to shift domestic conflicts and increase personal approval ratings. This has increasingly become a basic operation that Japanese politicians have repeatedly tried and tested in recent years to stabilize their ruling foundations.
What is even more alarming is that the *Imperial Rescript on Education*, which the old militarism used to bewitch the Japanese people to "go to the battlefield and dare to dedicate their lives to the Emperor," has reappeared. During the Abe cabinet, the Japanese government, through a written response, declared that it did not rule out the possibility of using the *Imperial Rescript on Education* as teaching material. *The Asahi Shimbun* published an editorial stating that this can be seen as part of the government's "attempt to return to pre-war values." Some media exposed in 2017 that kindergartens run by right-wing groups closely related to Shinzo Abe (安倍晋三) at the time forced young children to recite the *Imperial Rescript on Education*. Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) has been familiar with the *Imperial Rescript on Education* since childhood, and in her early years, she publicly praised the *Imperial Rescript on Education*, calling it very "wonderful." It can be seen that Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) not only shows militaristic ideological tendencies in her involvement in Taiwan by force, but also actively promotes historical revisionist education policies in the field of ideological education, restores pre-war militaristic values, and strengthens "patriotic" ideology, systematically inheriting militaristic genes.
(III)
Many scholars have compared and studied the different treatments of Japan and Germany after the war: first, Germany was jointly occupied by the Allied forces after the war, while Japan was exclusively occupied by the US military in the name of the Allied forces; second, Germany and the international community carried out a more thorough liquidation of the Nazis, while Japan's liquidation from the initiators of the war to militaristic ideology and culture, as well as national responsibility, was not thorough; third, there was a separate peace treaty with Japan that excluded important parties involved in World War II after the war, and then, in the name of security cooperation, it actually untied and loosened Japan's use of force.
Some scholars have pointed out that the unbroken chain of power inheritance has made Japanese militarism a dormant volcano. Post-war Japan highly inherited the pre-war political forces. Japanese right-wing forces have tried their best to deny the history of aggression, intending to get rid of the status of a "defeated country," and formed an internal connection with historical revisionism that attempts to downplay the acts of aggression, promoting breakthroughs in the constraints of the "Peace Constitution" and the post-war international order, laying an evil伏笔 for the resurgence of militarism.
In the 80 years of evolution after the war, Japanese right-wing politicians have put a false coat of "democracy," "rule of law," and "security" on militarism, fabricating a set of self-contradictory "new militarism" logic.
"New militarism" has caused a serious impact on Sino-Japanese relations. Japan bears an unshirkable and profound historical responsibility for the Taiwan issue. Taiwan was originally "fine," but it only "had problems" because of Japanese aggression and colonization. The Japanese side made clear political commitments on the Taiwan issue in the four political documents between China and Japan, including the *Sino-Japanese Joint Statement* and the *Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship*. Sanae Takaichi's (高市早苗) words and deeds ignore Japan's existing commitments, seriously damage the foundation of mutual trust between China and Japan, and have not only aroused strong protests, solemn representations, and countermeasures from the Chinese side, but have also been opposed and criticized by people of insight from all walks of life in Japan, including many former Japanese prime ministers.
"New militarism" has brought adverse effects to regional peace and stability. Russian Federation Security Council Secretary Shoigu said that Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) pursues a policy of historical revisionism, and the Japanese side has issued a large number of anti-Russian remarks, which contradict its stated desire to normalize relations with Russia; the South Korean government has lodged a solemn protest against Sanae Takaichi's (高市早苗) claim that Dokdo (Takeshima in Japanese) is Japan's "inherent territory" and has suspended the joint South Korea-Japan military exercises originally scheduled for November. Given that the core of Japan's "new militarism" is to comprehensively break through the post-war international order, even for Japan's allies such as the United States, there is a real danger of raising a tiger.
"New militarism" has caused substantial damage to Japan and the Japanese people. Japanese lawmaker Taro Yamamoto (山本太郎) pointed out that Japan has no future if it has conflicts with China. Once the confrontation escalates into conflict, Japan simply does not have enough strategic depth and population to support a large-scale war, let alone enough economic buffer chains, and the operation of the entire country will be easily frustrated. As Japan's defense budget hits a new high in 2026, the Japanese people angrily call this government behavior that causes tax increases and cuts in people's livelihood expenditures a "life-shortening military expansion."
Japan's *Tokyo Shimbun* said that if a country cannot correctly treat history, it will be difficult to grasp the future, and Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) is leading Japan into a dangerous gamble. Politicians who do not hesitate to lightly threaten regional security with war will eventually be condemned by everyone, and "new militarists" who do not hesitate to sacrifice the well-being of their own people to strengthen the military will eventually be doomed to destruction.
(IV)
"The time has come for Japan to determine one path: will it continue to be controlled by soldiers whose reckless miscalculations have plunged the Japanese Empire into utter destruction? Or will it take the path of reason?"
Eighty years ago, the *Potsdam Declaration*'s final ultimatum to Japan is still thought-provoking and is still a question that Japan needs to face and answer today. Whether the ghost of militarism can be completely eliminated from Japan is related to how the Japanese state and its people can stand and gain the trust of the international community.
Germany's approach to the Nazis is a mirror for Japan. Just this month, the German government announced that it would build a new memorial in Berlin to commemorate the Polish victims of Nazi German tyranny during World War II and return a batch of Polish cultural relics seized by Germany during World War II. "Remembering history and facing the past is endless. Germany has always adhered to its historical responsibility." German Chancellor Merz's statement is a continuation of a series of profound reflections in German society after World War II, which is also an important reason why Germany has regained international acceptance and trust.
On the other hand, Japanese right-wing forces not only lack reflection on the crimes of Japanese militarism, but even take photos with representatives of Japanese neo-Nazis and write recommendations for books that glorify Hitler. Former Prime Minister Taro Aso (麻生太郎) even openly stated that "Japan should emulate the German Nazi approach before World War II and promote the realization of constitutional revision in a quiet environment." Just imagine, if these people had such words and deeds in Europe, they would be discredited and hopeless in politics, and they would even be held legally responsible.
What is particularly worrying is that the provocative words and deeds of Japanese right-wing forces still receive considerable public support in Japan. Not long ago, Japanese football player Kaoru Mitoma (三笘薫) held a photo of Hiroo Onoda (小野田寛郎), a Japanese officer during World War II, and participated in a memorial event about World War I in the United Kingdom, which aroused strong criticism. Hiroo Onoda (小野田寛郎) was known as the "last Japanese soldier to surrender" and committed heinous crimes in the Philippines, but for many years he has been packaged by Japan as a so-called "victim of war" and "loyal and tenacious national hero." This militarist, who did not repent until his death, has now landed in Europe as propaganda material for peace activities, which shows the depth of the poison and paralysis of militarism and the urgency of defending the achievements of the victory of World War II and the post-war international order.
The Taiwan issue is even more so. The one-China principle is an unshakable universal consensus of the international community. A series of international documents such as the *Cairo Declaration*, the *Potsdam Declaration*, and the *Japanese Instrument of Surrender* not only returned Taiwan, which Japan "stole" in those years, to China, and clarified China's sovereignty over Taiwan, but also constituted a major achievement of the world's anti-fascist war and an important part of the post-war international order. The film *Seediq Bale*, which was recently released in China for the first time in upper and lower parts, brought the Wushe Incident that occurred in Taiwan in 1930 to the screen, and epically restored the history of the Taiwanese people's bloody resistance against Japan. In those days, the heroic Chinese people defeated the Japanese invaders; today, the Chinese people's determination to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity is as solid as a rock, their will is unbreakable, and their ability is not what it used to be. The Chinese side will never allow Japanese right-wing forces to reverse the course of history, will never allow external forces to interfere in the Taiwan region of China, and will never allow Japanese militarism to be resurrected.
The international community needs to see clearly that the erroneous words and deeds represented by Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) are by no means accidental. In recent years, Japan's defense spending has increased for thirteen consecutive years, it has loosened its collective self-defense rights, repeatedly relaxed restrictions on arms exports, developed so-called "attack capabilities against enemy bases," and attempted to revise the "three non-nuclear principles," gradually hollowing out the provisions clearly stipulated in the *Cairo Declaration* and the *Potsdam Declaration* for Japan, and violating its own commitments in the Japanese Constitution. "New militarism" is no longer an undercurrent, and it is really threatening global peace and development.
If the words and deeds of Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) and her ilk are not corrected, they will set a bad precedent for other countries, and some forces may follow suit and challenge the established international rules and order. This will not only erode the foundation of international governance, but may also have an impact on the basic norms of international relations such as sovereign equality and non-interference in internal affairs, affecting the peace and stability of a wider region.
Letting the "new militarism" out of its cage will eventually endanger the whole world. Kanji Ishihara (石原莞尔), the chief planner of the September 18th Incident and staff officer of the Kwantung Army, constructed a crazy strategic theory in *The Final War*: the world can be mainly divided into four groups: the United States, Europe, the Soviet Union, and Japan, and the world will eventually break out into a decisive large-scale war. Japan must prepare for this "final decisive battle" with the United States through industrialization, militarization, and social integration to complete the unification of the world. Militarists have a stubborn fatalistic color, believing that war is not the result of human choice, but an inevitable torrent of history; militarists have a crazy gambler mentality, even when facing an opponent ten times their size, they must "bet on the national fortune" and not hesitate to wage a war of the whole people.
Kakuei Tanaka (田中角栄), the former Japanese Prime Minister who promoted the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, left a worried political will: "As long as the people who participated in that war are still in the central government of the country, there will be no major problems in this country; when we are all gone, that is the scary time." With the increasing right-wing trend of domestic politics in Japan in recent years, these political predictions are facing a huge risk of becoming a reality.
On November 21, the Chinese representative sent a letter to the United Nations, emphasizing that Sanae Takaichi's (高市早苗) relevant remarks seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations, seriously undermined the post-war international order, and were a blatant provocation to the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people and the people of Asian countries that had suffered from Japanese aggression; on November 24, Japan sent a letter to the United Nations to unreasonably quibble, claiming that its basic defense policy was a passive defense strategy of "exclusively defense-oriented," and groundlessly accused and blamed China; on December 1, China sent another letter to the United Nations, pointing out that Taiwan is China's territory, but Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) linked Japan's "existential crisis situation" with "Taiwan's affairs," implying the use of force against China, which obviously exceeded the scope of Japan's so-called "exclusively defense-oriented" and "passive defense." The Japanese side's statement is self-contradictory and is deceiving the international community. The letter was distributed to all member states as an official document of the United Nations General Assembly, and countries such as France, Russia, South Africa, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Spain, Uganda, Turkey, Myanmar, Thailand, and Colombia issued statements firmly adhering to the one-China policy.
For more than a month, Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) and the Japanese foreign affairs department have been trying to perfunctorily deal with it with "consistent positions." At the same time, a video of Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) questioning the then Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama (村山富市) in the Diet when she was young has been continuously trending on the Internet. "What behaviors do you think are acts of aggression?" "What exactly is the mistake you are talking about?" The questions she asked unreasonably back then are suitable to ask herself, who is now avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. What exactly is Japan's "consistent position"? What is your position on Japanese aggression and colonization? Can you go to the United Nations and talk about how you view and eliminate militarism?
"We will never allow any alteration in these terms. There is no alternative. We shall brook no delay." The call of the three countries of China, the United Kingdom, and the United States 80 years ago to advise the Japanese government to immediately announce its unconditional surrender "and to give adequate assurances of their good faith in such action" is also the voice of the international community today that does not allow Japan to reverse the course of history. The lingering ghost of Japanese militarism is a real and urgent real crisis. If the Japanese side insists on going its own way and making mistakes again and again, all countries and people who uphold justice have the right to re-liquidate Japan's historical crimes and have the responsibility to resolutely prevent Japanese militarism from being resurrected. This is the common bottom line for the international community to defend the post-war international order, and it is also the principled bottom line for Japan's own survival and peaceful development. Only in this way can we realize the great vision of "saving succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind."
Return to TopThis newspaper Johannesburg, December 24th (Reporters Yang Ou (杨讴) and Zou Song (邹松)) "Colorful China: Cultural Tibet" International Photo Micro-Exhibition opened on the 23rd in Johannesburg (约翰内斯堡), South Africa.

Return to TopTo Promote High-Quality Development Through Energy Conservation
By Ni Yi (倪弋), reporter of this newspaper
On December 22, at the 19th meeting of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, Xiao Jie (肖捷), Vice Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, delivered a report by the NPC Standing Committee's law enforcement inspection team on the implementation of the "Energy Conservation Law of the People's Republic of China."
The report pointed out that the State Council and local people's governments at all levels attach great importance to the implementation of the Energy Conservation Law, earnestly promote energy conservation in various fields, promote the improvement of energy efficiency, and the implementation of the law has achieved remarkable results. From 2007 to 2024, the national energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP cumulatively decreased by about 43.0%, with a cumulative energy saving of about 2.3 billion tons of standard coal. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the national energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP has cumulatively decreased by 27.2%, making it one of the countries with the fastest decline in energy intensity in the world. With an average annual energy consumption growth rate of 3.3%, it has supported an average annual economic growth of 6.1%, providing a strong guarantee for the sustained and healthy economic and social development and the comprehensive social progress in the new era.
The report stated that supporting policies and regulations for the Energy Conservation Law are constantly being improved. The State Council has issued supporting regulations such as the "Regulations on Energy Conservation of Civil Buildings" and the "Regulations on Energy Conservation of Public Institutions." More than 800 departmental rules and policy documents have been issued in key areas such as industry, construction, transportation, and public institutions. Localities have issued more than 2,000 relevant regulations and normative documents in accordance with local conditions, forming a relatively complete energy conservation legal system led by the Energy Conservation Law and supplemented by industrial, construction, transportation, public institutions, and local regulations.
Energy efficiency in key areas continues to improve. In the field of industrial energy conservation, special actions for industrial energy efficiency improvement have been implemented, an early warning mechanism for the production capacity of key industrial products has been established, energy-saving service diagnoses have been carried out for key industries and fields, and 206 "leader" enterprises in energy efficiency in key industries and 246 national green data centers have been released. In the field of building energy conservation, the energy-saving renovation of existing buildings and the promotion and application of green buildings have been steadily promoted, and green buildings and ultra-low energy consumption buildings have been vigorously developed. In 2024, the area of newly built green buildings nationwide accounted for more than 97% of the area of newly built buildings in cities and towns. In the field of transportation energy conservation, the national transportation structure has been continuously optimized. In 2024, the total freight volume of national railways and the commercial freight volume completed by waterways increased by 17.3% and 31.3% respectively compared with 2019. The green transformation of transportation vehicles has been steadily promoted. In 2024, new energy vehicle sales reached 40.9% of total new vehicle sales, with more than 150,000 charging stations.
Technological empowerment in the field of energy conservation has achieved remarkable results. Since the implementation of the Energy Conservation Law, the enthusiasm for innovation in the field of energy-saving technology has been high, and the level of innovation activity has increased. National energy-saving related enterprises involve multiple links in the energy-saving industry chain, such as equipment manufacturing, material production, engineering construction, and technical services.
The report analyzed the new situation facing China's energy conservation work, the main problems and difficulties in implementing the Energy Conservation Law, and proposed to strengthen the energy conservation priority strategy and give play to the role of energy conservation in promoting high-quality development; improve the energy conservation management mechanism and promote the formation of a joint force for energy conservation work in the whole society; consolidate the foundation of energy conservation work and improve the level of energy conservation management; improve the energy conservation policy system and stimulate the endogenous power of energy conservation; strengthen the leading role of scientific and technological innovation and vigorously cultivate and develop the energy-saving service industry; improve the legal system and improve the level of legalization of energy conservation work.
Providing Legal Safeguards for Promoting Circular Economy Development
By Peng Bo (彭波), reporter of this newspaper
On December 22, the 19th meeting of the 14th NPC Standing Committee heard a report by the NPC Standing Committee's law enforcement inspection team on the implementation of the Circular Economy Promotion Law. The report pointed out that since the implementation of the Circular Economy Promotion Law in 2009, it has played an important role in implementing the comprehensive conservation strategy, solving resource and environmental constraints, promoting synergistic pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and promoting ecological civilization construction. Under the strong promotion of the Circular Economy Promotion Law, all regions and departments have actively fulfilled their statutory responsibilities, and China's circular economy development has achieved remarkable results.
The law enforcement inspection team went to 16 cities in 6 provinces (municipalities) including Tianjin (天津) to conduct on-site inspections of the implementation of the law. The report believes that China's circular economy legal safeguards are constantly improving. The State Council and its relevant departments have established an inter-ministerial joint meeting system for the development of a circular economy, issued administrative regulations and rules, and formulated and improved more than 600 national standards. Jiangsu (江苏), Guangdong (广东) and other places have formulated local circular economy regulations, initially forming a circular economy legal and regulatory system to provide legal safeguards for promoting circular economy development.
In effectively implementing reduction measures, all localities have promoted the reduction of resource consumption and waste generation in all links of production, circulation, and consumption, earnestly promoted the construction of "waste-free cities," actively promoted green production methods, and the energy consumption per unit of added value of industrial enterprises above designated size has continued to decline. Improve reclaimed water utilization facilities, actively promote green planting and breeding models, and continue to promote the reduction of agricultural inputs. The application of fertilizer and pesticides has maintained a downward trend for many years.
In improving the resource recycling system, China has initially established the world's largest resource recycling and reuse system covering the most complete categories. Residential communities in cities at the prefecture level and above across the country have basically established recyclable waste collection facilities, and more than 11,000 new intelligent community recycling facilities have been added nationwide in 2024. In 2024, the total recycling volume of ten major types of renewable resources in China exceeded 400 million tons. Waste steel and waste paper accounted for approximately 21% and 70% of the raw materials provided for the production sector, respectively, playing an important role in ensuring resource security.
In improving the level of reuse and resource utilization, all localities have accelerated the promotion of circular development of parks and promoted the construction of eco-industrial parks. Systematically promote the construction of a green manufacturing system, strengthen the comprehensive utilization of bulk solid waste, actively promote the resource utilization of agricultural wastes such as straw and livestock and poultry manure, and strengthen the source reduction and comprehensive utilization of construction waste. In 2024, the total output value of China's resource recycling industry exceeded 4 trillion yuan, with more than 35 million employees, becoming a new economic growth point and a new field for absorbing employment.
The report also pointed out that there are still some prominent problems and shortcomings in the implementation of the law and the development of the circular economy, such as the failure to fully implement statutory responsibilities, the irregular waste recycling industry and prominent problems of involution competition, the need to improve the level of resource utilization and reuse, and the need to strengthen scientific and technological support and policy incentives, and the lagging behind of the circular economy legal system.
In this regard, the report suggests strengthening overall planning and top-level design, and accelerating the establishment and improvement of a green, low-carbon, and circular economic system; strengthening the implementation of responsibilities and deeply promoting the high-quality development of the circular economy; improving the green consumption incentive mechanism and promoting the efficient use of resource recycling; strengthening the support and leadership of scientific and technological innovation and improving the circular economy scientific and technological innovation system. The report also proposed that after the deliberation and adoption of the ecological environment code, the work of revising the Circular Economy Promotion Law should be launched in a timely manner in response to the new situations and new problems existing in the development of the circular economy, and the outstanding problems existing in the development of the circular economy should be solved in a legal manner.
The Handling of Suggestions from Deputies to the National People's Congress in 2025 Was Successfully Completed
By Wei Zhezhe (魏哲哲), reporter of this newspaper
The 19th meeting of the 14th NPC Standing Committee on December 22 heard a report on the handling of suggestions, criticisms, and opinions from deputies to the Third Session of the 14th NPC. The report shows that all suggestions made by deputies during the Third Session of the 14th NPC have been handled and replied to the deputies.
During the Third Session of the 14th NPC, the deputies focused on implementing the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the people's concerns, expectations, and wishes. Based on close contact with the people and in-depth investigation and research, they gave full play to their professional expertise and put forward 9,160 suggestions on various aspects of work in accordance with legal procedures. On March 26, the NPC Standing Committee held a meeting to assign the handling of deputies' suggestions, and legally assigned the relevant suggestions to 211 undertaking units for research and handling.
During the meeting, the delegations carefully deliberated the work report of the NPC Standing Committee, and 1,267 deputies put forward 1,622 opinions and suggestions on strengthening and improving the work of the NPC, which were summarized into 737 opinions and suggestions. The special committees, working committees, and general office of the NPC attached great importance to this, strengthened communication and contact, carefully studied and absorbed the suggestions, and promptly provided feedback to the deputies and introduced relevant work progress.
During the adjournment, the deputies put forward 150 suggestions, which have been submitted to 81 undertaking units for research and handling. At the symposium of deputies attending the Standing Committee meeting, the deputies put forward 98 suggestions, which have been submitted to 31 undertaking units for research and handling. The suggestions from deputies transferred by members of the Standing Committee were also promptly submitted to relevant units for research and handling.
In April 2025, the Chairman's Council deliberated and determined 23 key supervised suggestions, involving 231 specific suggestions, which were submitted to 20 undertaking units for lead handling, and 10 special committees were responsible for supervision, realizing full coverage of 35 delegations and 10 special committees.
The report shows that all relevant parties took the implementation of the revised Deputies Law as an opportunity to improve their political standing, systematically plan, seek progress while maintaining stability, and promote the transformation of suggestion handling from "completion" to "excellence." First, the leaders attached great importance to promoting the handling of suggestions; second, the "two contacts" system and mechanism were deepened and expanded; third, the targeted efforts were adhered to, and the handling of key supervised suggestions was promoted to be implemented; fourth, the whole-chain management was standardized, and the handling of suggestions was more pragmatic and efficient.
In practicing whole-process people's democracy and further promoting the transformation of the handling of deputies' suggestions from "reply-oriented" to "implementation-oriented," the report shows that all undertaking units will integrate the expansion and deepening of the "two contacts" into the entire process and all aspects of the handling work, further highlight quality, focus on implementation, solve problems, and specifically and realistically reflect and implement the deputies' concerns, concerns, and insights into the work of state organs. First, more attention is paid to helping high-quality economic development with high-quality handling; second, more attention is paid to effectively combining the promotion of key work with the absorption of deputies' suggestions and working in the same direction; third, more attention is paid to responding to social concerns and promoting the solution of urgent, difficult, and worrying problems of the masses; fourth, more attention is paid to transforming deputies' suggestions into "practical strategies" to enhance social governance effectiveness.
Guo Zhenhua (郭振华), director of the Representative Work Committee of the NPC Standing Committee, said that the handling of deputies' suggestions in 2025 has been successfully completed. It is necessary to deepen and expand the work of deputies with "two contacts" as the starting point, steadily seek progress and promote the comprehensive and effective implementation of the Deputies Law, and promote the high-quality development of the work of deputies' suggestions.
Strengthening the Record Review of Fiscal Budget Matters
By Wei Zhezhe (魏哲哲), reporter of this newspaper
On December 22, the 19th meeting of the 14th NPC Standing Committee heard a report from the Budget Work Committee of the NPC Standing Committee on the record review of fiscal budget matters in 2025.
In February 2025, the Chairman's Council of the NPC Standing Committee deliberated and approved the "Measures for the Record Review of Fiscal Budget Matters," which clarified the requirements for the record of fiscal budget matters, the methods and key points of review, etc. This year is the first year to carry out the record review of fiscal budget matters in accordance with the "Working Measures." The Budget Work Committee of the NPC Standing Committee closely cooperated with relevant departments to carry out the record review of fiscal budget matters in accordance with the law.
The Budget Work Committee reviewed eight matters submitted for record, including the individual income tax preferential policy for childcare subsidies, the stamp duty preferential policy for offshore trade, the tax credit policy for direct investment of profits distributed by overseas investors, and the adjustment of the most-favored-nation tax rate for some syrups and sugar-containing premixes, and reviewed four relevant matters related to the Hainan Free Trade Port tax system, such as the tax policy for the entry and exit of goods from the "first line" and "second line" of the Hainan Free Trade Port and the circulation within the island.
The Budget Work Committee reviewed and believed that the specific policies and measures are in line with the authorization provisions of laws such as the Enterprise Income Tax Law, the Individual Income Tax Law, the Customs Law, and the Stamp Duty Law, and have an important role in promoting the improvement of the fertility support policy system, accelerating the construction of a strong trading nation, and building the Hainan Free Trade Port to a high standard. During the review process, the Budget Work Committee promptly put forward work suggestions to promote the improvement of relevant tax systems and specific measures.
Regarding the summarized local budgets and final accounts, the Budget Work Committee reviewed and believed that the local budget summary and local final account summary are in line with the Party Central Committee's guidelines and policies and the provisions of laws such as the Budget Law, and the differences from the 2025 local budget draft and the 2024 budget implementation reviewed by the National People's Congress are generally within a reasonable range. At the same time, it put forward suggestions such as increasing guidance on the preparation of local budgets and final accounts, and dynamically tracking local budget adjustments and changes.
Regarding the specific measures for transfer payments such as special funds for clean energy development, subsidies for the construction of a public cultural service system to support local governments, childcare subsidy funds, and funds to support the development of preschool education, which were submitted for record, the Budget Work Committee reviewed and believed that the relevant measures are in line with the decision-making and deployment requirements of the Party Central Committee and the provisions of the Budget Law, and have an important role in implementing major national strategic deployments, ensuring basic people's livelihood, responding to changes in population structure, and building a fertility-friendly society. At the same time, it put forward opinions and suggestions such as strengthening the verification of subsidy application qualifications, standardizing the distribution of subsidy funds, and doing a good job in tracking and evaluating the use of special funds.
Regarding the advance allocation of some new local government debt limits, the Budget Work Committee reviewed and believed that this policy is conducive to giving play to the important role of government bond funds in stabilizing investment, expanding domestic demand, and making up for shortcomings, and is conducive to implementing a more proactive fiscal policy and consolidating and expanding the momentum of economic recovery. The advance allocation time and amount of debt limits meet the requirements of the authorization decision of the NPC Standing Committee. At the same time, it put forward suggestions such as further tilting the new special bond quota towards areas with sufficient project preparation, high investment efficiency, and good fund use benefits, and the allocation of special bond quotas used to support the resolution of local government implicit debt should comprehensively consider the local debt resolution pressure and risk resolution needs, as well as issuing debt limits as early as possible.
Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 24th. The website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission (中央纪委国家监委) reported on the 24th that the General Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (中央纪委办公厅) and the General Office of the National Supervisory Commission (国家监委办公厅) recently issued the "Evidence Guidelines for Investigating New Types of Corruption and Hidden Corruption Problems." Aiming at the new types of corruption and hidden corruption problems that have emerged in recent years, based on the statutory evidence standards, the guidelines improve the evidence collection ideas, clarify the key points of evidence collection, and strive to solve the difficulties in discovering, collecting evidence, and characterizing new types of corruption and hidden corruption, so that the new types are not "new" and the hidden types are difficult to "hide," and continuously improve the standardization, legalization, and regularization of investigation and evidence collection work.
The reporter learned that the evidence guidelines highlight problem orientation, focus on practical needs, implement the evidence rules and standards for criminal trials of duty-related crimes, clarify the relevant requirements for collecting, fixing, reviewing, and using evidence, provide guidance for review and investigation work, and strive to improve the ability to investigate and handle duty-related crime cases.
The evidence guidelines classify and summarize the manifestations of new types of corruption and hidden corruption, sort out and analyze more than 20 specific types, and list the key points of evidence collection and clarify the evidence standards around the constituent elements of the crime. During the drafting process of the evidence guidelines, opinions were widely solicited from legislative bodies, judicial organs, and relevant units of the discipline inspection and supervision system, and a general consensus and unanimous recognition were obtained.
The relevant person in charge of the Case Review Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission (中央纪委国家监委案件审理室) stated that the evidence guidelines are a further enrichment of the anti-corruption toolbox, providing comprehensive, specific, and operable evidence collection guidance for discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels to investigate and handle new types of corruption and hidden corruption problems, which is conducive to further standardizing the exercise of supervision power and improving the quality and efficiency of case handling.

"These 5 years, life has been as beautiful as flowers!"
Sitting in her own well-ventilated three-bedroom apartment in Mu'en Di Community (沐恩邸社区), Chengdong Town (城北镇), Zhaojue County (昭觉县), Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (凉山彝族自治州), Sichuan Province (四川省), building leader Reji Wuguo (惹记伍果) has a bright smile.
In May 2020, she bid farewell to the "cliff village" deep in the Daliang Mountains (大凉山) that once made General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) "feel very concerned." Through relocation, she moved into the building in Mu'en Di Community (沐恩邸社区) and successfully escaped poverty. She works in an embroidery workshop, her daughter goes to school right at her doorstep, and it only takes 15 minutes to get to the county hospital for medical treatment... Reji Wuguo (惹记伍果) said emotionally, "The Communist Party is Wajiwa (瓦吉瓦) (very good), General Secretary, Kashasha (卡沙沙) (thank you)!"
How to consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation and promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside is what General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) always has in mind.
The Party Central Committee decided that after the goals and tasks of poverty alleviation are completed, a 5-year transition period will be established for counties that have escaped poverty, starting from the date of their poverty alleviation.
"For the poverty-stricken counties, villages, and populations that have been lifted out of poverty, we must maintain the overall stability of existing assistance policies and help them get on their feet and see them off for a while."
"We must continue to promote the organic connection with the rural revitalization strategy, ensure that there is no large-scale return to poverty, and effectively maintain and consolidate the great achievements of the battle against poverty."
Since entering the transition period, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has visited poverty-stricken areas every year, making a series of important instructions. His earnest exhortations are full of deep feelings of "letting the folks live a good life" and demonstrate the firm perseverance of Chinese Communists to "**咬定青山不放松**" (yǎo dìng qīng shān bù fàng sōng - "bite the green hills and not relax," to remain steadfast and determined).
Bearing in mind the entrustment and continuing to struggle, in the past 5 years, all regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the "four no removals" requirements, continued to increase policy support and assistance, and built a "connecting bridge" to comprehensive rural revitalization. The vast number of cadres and the masses in poverty-stricken areas have worked hard and diligently to consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, connect and promote comprehensive rural revitalization, and the lives of the people who have been lifted out of poverty are improving steadily like **芝麻开花节节高** (zhī ma kāi huā jié jié gāo - "sesame flowers bloom higher joint by joint," improving steadily).
China's successful practice has fully demonstrated to the world that poverty can not only be overcome, but also be blocked and prevented from recurring.
Improving mechanisms and providing precise assistance—
"Absolutely no large-scale return to poverty should occur"
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "We must improve the dynamic monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent the return to poverty, and implement regular monitoring of populations vulnerable to returning to poverty" and "The bottom line for poverty alleviation must be as solid as a rock, and absolutely no large-scale return to poverty should occur."
On the road to a moderately prosperous society, "not a single person can be left behind," and on the road to common prosperity, "not a single person can be allowed to fall behind." The original aspiration of Chinese Communists is as firm as a rock.
Farmers' self-reporting, grassroots cadres' investigation, and departmental screening and early warning, with "people looking for people" and "data looking for people" working together, the "monitoring network" in various places is becoming increasingly dense, and the monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent the return to poverty is constantly improving, striving to achieve early detection, early intervention, and early assistance.
With monitoring and assistance in place, the family of Han Haiming (韩海明), a villager in Tumuhe Village (土木河村), Mujing Township (木井乡), She County (涉县), Hebei Province (河北省), not only did not fall into poverty due to illness, but their lives are becoming more and more promising.
Han Haiming's (韩海明) family usually relies on farming and odd jobs for a living. In July 2022, he was diagnosed with cardia cancer and intestinal obstruction. Two surgeries cost nearly 160,000 yuan. "The village cares about us very much. According to the steps on the policy publicity 'clarification paper,' I applied on my mobile phone to be included in the monitoring target for preventing the return to poverty," said Han Haiming (韩海明).
"Han Haiming (韩海明) had high medical expenses. As the main labor force in the family, he could not work due to illness, and the family income was greatly reduced. There are also 3 children in the family attending school, and life is indeed difficult." After verification, Han Suyun (韩素云), a village cadre in Tumuhe Village (土木河村), suggested including Han Haiming (韩海明) in the monitoring target.
Subsequently, after democratic evaluation and publicity by the villagers' representative meeting, review and approval by the county level, and announcement, Han Haiming (韩海明) was identified as a monitoring target for preventing the return to poverty. A tailor-made assistance plan was then implemented: 99,000 yuan in poverty prevention insurance assistance, processing the entire household as a low-income family on the edge of poverty, and the second daughter and youngest son receiving compulsory education enjoy the "two exemptions and one subsidy" policy.
"Now my health has recovered well. I drive a loader on a construction site and can earn 150 yuan a day. My wife works as a helper in the canteen of the factory at the entrance of the village and can earn 2,400 yuan a month. With various subsidies, life is getting easier and easier," said Han Haiming (韩海明).
"Multi-departmental collaboration, information sharing, smooth online and offline application channels, and the formulation of a 'toolbox' list of policies to prevent the return to poverty, truly achieving full inclusion and precise assistance," introduced Wang Wusheng (王武生), Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the She County (涉县) Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau.
With "one network" operating and "one game of chess" being promoted, precise assistance is provided to secure the bottom line. Since the transition period, as of the end of October this year, the country has cumulatively identified and assisted more than 7 million monitoring targets to steadily eliminate the risk of returning to poverty, guarding the bottom line of no large-scale return to poverty.
Consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation and connecting and promoting comprehensive rural revitalization, policies are continuously implemented and assistance is not reduced.
A series of connecting policies have been successively introduced, and the central government has cumulatively invested 850.5 billion yuan in subsidies to connect and promote rural revitalization. Multi-faceted policy measures are combined into a fist, tilting support towards the development of key assistance counties for national rural revitalization.
East-West collaboration, fixed-point assistance, village-based assistance, and social forces assistance, the "four forces" are going all out. 8 eastern provinces and cities, 310 central units, more than 6,000 enterprises, and nearly 300 social organizations are each showing their strengths. 150,000 village-based work teams and more than 500,000 village-based cadres are fighting on the front line, guarding the bottom line, assisting development, and promoting revitalization.
Increasing income and adding happiness—
"Let the lives of people lifted out of poverty reach a new level"
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "To consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, we must rely more on industrial development and continuously enhance the endogenous driving force for development" and "Let the lives of people lifted out of poverty reach a new level."
This concern is full of deep affection; this concern warms people's hearts.
"With such good Party policies, we must also work hard to make our lives better and better!" The morning light penetrates the thin mist and shines on the fields of Nasou Village (那受村), Yucai Ecological Zone (育才生态区), Sanya City (三亚市), Hainan Province (海南省). Villager Su Qiwen (苏其文) is busy in the fields early in the morning. This household lifted out of poverty has now become a agricultural technician in the village and has also taken the lead in establishing a professional cooperative, with a total income of nearly 300,000 yuan last year.
The key to Su Qiwen's (苏其文) change lies in his skills. The "field classroom" opened in the village invites experts to the fields to teach hands-on, turning Su Qiwen (苏其文) from an ordinary farmer into a "plant doctor." The "field classroom" has organized 1,450 skills training sessions, helping the village solve employment for 1,199 people. Xiao Chunlei (肖春雷), the first secretary of the Sanya Tropical Agricultural Science Research Institute (三亚市热带农业科学研究院) stationed in Nasou Village (那受村), introduced new, unique, and high-quality varieties such as purple custard apples and rainbow watermelons to the village, greatly increasing land output. "The villagers are very enthusiastic about planting, and the supply of seedlings cannot keep up," said Xiao Chunlei (肖春雷).
With industrial upgrading and employment as the foundation, from 2021 to 2024, the average annual disposable income of people lifted out of poverty in Nasou Village (那受村) increased from 16,800 yuan to 29,400 yuan, and the village's collective economic income jumped from 246,000 yuan to 2.44 million yuan. The village's infrastructure and public services have also improved significantly. Since the transition period, the village has built more than 30 kilometers of new roads, equipped with 222 street lights, centralized treatment of domestic sewage, and also built a new health center and comprehensive cultural center. "Living conditions are getting better and better," said Su Qiwen (苏其文).
Nasou Village (那受村) is a microcosm.
Since the transition period, more than 85% of households lifted out of poverty and monitoring households across the country have received assistance from at least one industrial assistance policy. The scale of employment for people lifted out of poverty has remained above 30 million people every year, and the income gap between people lifted out of poverty and farmers across the country has continued to narrow. The dynamic of students dropping out of compulsory education in families lifted out of poverty has been cleared, the participation rate of people lifted out of poverty and monitoring targets in basic medical insurance has remained stable at over 99%, and the renovation of dilapidated rural houses and the seismic retrofitting of rural houses have been steadily promoted. The lives of people lifted out of poverty are becoming more and more prosperous, and the happiness index is getting higher and higher.
Deeper changes are taking place.
The millennium-old culture and natural charm coexist harmoniously, and the ancient town of Guanglu (光禄古镇), Yao'an County (姚安县), Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture (楚雄彝族自治州), Yunnan Province (云南省), is crowded with tourists. The ancient town's "popularity" is closely related to the innovation of Zhao Yongzhi (赵勇志), the "Rural CEO."
Zhao Yongzhi (赵勇志) participated in a training course organized by China International Intellectech Corporation (中国国际技术智力合作集团有限公司), which provides fixed-point assistance to Yao'an County (姚安县), and also went to other places to learn about the development experience of the rural tourism industry. After completing his studies, he revitalized more than 100 sets of idle farm courtyards, attracting more than 50 tourism entrepreneurs to open new businesses such as coffee courtyards and youth hostels, driving more than 400 people lifted out of poverty to find employment and increase their income.
Gao Lili (高立立), director of the fixed-point assistance office of China International Intellectech Corporation (中国国际技术智力合作集团有限公司), introduced that the company relies on the "Central Enterprise Talent Promotes Revitalization" project undertaken by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (国务院国资委) to train more than 2,000 "Rural CEOs," heads of new rural business entities, etc. for 70 fixed-point assistance counties of central enterprises, greatly enhancing their development and driving capabilities.
The combination of ambition and wisdom adds momentum. "One skill enriches the whole family," the "Rain and Dew Program" illuminates the road to skills and success. Since the transition period, more than 3 million new labor forces from families lifted out of poverty have received vocational education, achieving stable employment and increased income. "One skill leads thousands of families," rural craftsmen lead the way to prosperity. More than 130,000 rural craftsmen have been trained across the country, helping 2.3 million people master craftsman skills and driving more than 5 million people to find employment "at their doorstep."
From "wanting me to do it" to "I want to do it" and "I can do it," there is more motivation for development and stronger ability to get rich. The vast number of people lifted out of poverty are working hard to move towards a better life. Countless people's destinies have been changed because of this, countless people's dreams have been realized because of this, and countless people's happiness has been achieved because of this.
Revitalizing industries and stimulating vitality—
"Promote the concentration of various resources and assistance measures on promoting industrial development and expanding employment"
"To consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, we must take promoting the accelerated development of poverty-stricken counties as the main direction" "We must think of more ways to promote the accelerated development of poverty-stricken areas and promote the concentration of various resources and assistance measures on promoting industrial development and expanding employment"...
General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) deep concern inspires the vast number of cadres and the masses in poverty-stricken areas to work hard and accelerate development.
In Pingyu County (平舆县), Henan Province (河南省) in winter, in the county-level leading industrial park, leading enterprises are busy rushing to produce outdoor leisure products; in the township-level rural revitalization industrial park, the outdoor leisure bag production line is in full swing; in the village-level common prosperity processing park, villagers are skillfully weaving chair surfaces for leisure rattan chairs.
The "three parks" are constructed in the same structure, gathering "chains" into groups, clustering into momentum, strengthening the county and enriching the people. Last year, the output value of the outdoor leisure industry in Pingyu County (平舆县) exceeded 10 billion yuan, and the village-level common prosperity processing park drove 100,000 people to increase their income by more than 30,000 yuan per year. Since the transition period, the average annual increase in per capita income of farmers in the county has reached 8%.
Planing, chiseling, mortising, assembling... In the Yile Hardware High-tech Industrial Park (以勒五金高新产业园) in Zhenxiong County (镇雄县), Zhaotong City (昭通市), Yunnan Province (云南省), the factory workshops are busy.
"We have to ship five or six thousand wooden doors every month, and customer orders have increased by 15% in the past four months." After graduating from university, Zhai Peisu (翟培素), general manager of Yunnan Xiangchou Wood Industry Company (云南乡愁木业公司), has been running a factory in the Xundian Industrial Park (寻甸产业园区) in Kunming City (昆明市). In recent years, he has always wanted to explore the market outside the province. In October last year, he returned to his hometown of Zhenxiong (镇雄) to open a branch factory in the Hardware High-tech Industrial Park (五金高新产业园), and the market expanded immediately.
What attracted Zhai Peisu (翟培素) to return to his hometown to start a business is Zhaotong's (昭通) geographical advantage at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. Due to the great improvement in transportation in recent years, cross-provincial logistics is convenient, and the park has also built a logistics service center and a supply chain center, and opened 4 logistics special lines to Guiyang (贵阳), Kunming (昆明), Chengdu (成都), and Chongqing (重庆). "With logistics companies specifically connecting, not only has the transportation cost decreased by 10%, but also 24-hour freight transportation has been achieved, and the market competitiveness has been significantly enhanced," said Zhai Peisu (翟培素).
Zhenxiong County (镇雄县) has 490,000 people working outside the county for a long time, and many have become entrepreneurs, management elites, or highly skilled talents. In recent years, the changes in their hometown have been changing with each passing day, and more and more people are choosing to return to their hometown to start businesses.
"Bringing back one, driving a string, and radiating a piece." Wen Huaihong (文怀宏), a member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Zhenxiong County (镇雄县) Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, introduced that the first phase of the park has absorbed more than 1,300 people for employment, and it is expected that more than 10,000 jobs can be arranged after the park is fully completed. At present, enterprises are stepping up winter recruitment.
In Zhenxiong County (镇雄县), in addition to the Hardware High-tech Industrial Park (五金高新产业园), the textile and apparel industrial park, the green food processing industrial park, and the commercial and trade industrial park have all been fully operational, driving employment for 21,000 people. From 2020 to last year, the county's gross regional product steadily increased from 21.782 billion yuan to 35.902 billion yuan.
Shortcomings are made up, and industries are thriving. Since the transition period, poverty-stricken areas have presented a new era of great changes in the mountains and villages and revitalization and development. All 832 poverty-stricken counties across the country have cultivated 2 to 3 leading industries with prominent advantages, distinctive characteristics, and strong driving capabilities. The endogenous driving force of the vast number of poverty-stricken areas has been enhanced, vitality has been strengthened, and economic and social development has caught up by leaps and bounds.
The transition period is coming to an end, and the "15th Five-Year Plan" is about to begin. Entering a new stage of normalized assistance, the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal proposes to "continue to consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation" and "coordinate the establishment of a normalized mechanism to prevent the return to poverty."
The journey is long, and only struggle can lead to success. The vast number of cadres and the masses in poverty-stricken areas are continuing to firmly guard the bottom line of no large-scale return to poverty with an unremitting spirit and a forward-looking attitude, and are striving forward towards the bright prospect of comprehensive rural revitalization!

Unlike the "grass, shrub, tree" structure in nature, small and micro enterprises, these "small grasses," have the potential to grow into "big trees." The ways to achieve this change are to grasp market pain points and to innovate and break through.
Incentivize more private enterprise science and technology workers at the forefront of the market to overcome difficulties and promote the formation of a deeply integrated innovation system of industry, academia, research, and application.
Recently, two news items about science and technology talents in private enterprises have attracted attention.
One is that the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院) announced the results of the 2025 academician election, with Lian Yubo (廉玉波), Huang Xianbo (黄险波), and Wu Kai (吴凯), three experts from private enterprises, being elected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, setting a new high for the number of private enterprise experts elected as academicians in a single session.
The other is that an employee of Kingfa Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (金发科技股份有限公司) was awarded a senior professional title in the company's internal independent professional title evaluation due to research and development breakthroughs and technology transformation. This benefits from a reform in Guangzhou (广州). Since this year, Guangzhou has selected 10 leading private enterprises, delegated the power of professional title evaluation, and established a new mechanism of "enterprise independent evaluation, government record management and supervision."
The election of private enterprise experts as academicians and the support of local governments for private enterprises to drink the "first soup" and carry out independent professional title evaluation demonstrate the continuous improvement of the technological innovation capabilities of private enterprises and reflect the concept of "innovation regardless of background."
To judge heroes, one should not ask about their origins; to grasp innovation, one should "not ask about background."
From the perspective of large and small, whether it is a well-known large enterprise or an unknown small enterprise, it can become an important force for innovation.
Some economists use the structure of "grass, shrub, tree" to describe the development of private enterprises, because similar to the natural world, private enterprises are also divided into sizes, and there are also small grasses, shrubs, and trees. However, "in nature, it is difficult for a small grass to grow into a big tree." Unlike the "grass, shrub, tree" structure in nature, small and micro enterprises, these "small grasses," have the potential to grow into "big trees." The ways to achieve this change are to grasp market pain points and to innovate and break through. In the current surge of technological innovation, the importance of the latter is increasingly prominent. From this perspective, grasping innovation "regardless of background" is an inevitable requirement for following the laws of enterprise growth.
From the perspective of the relationship between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, it is a component of the national innovation ecosystem.
In people's traditional view, technological breakthroughs "from 0 to 1" are often completed by universities and research institutes, and private enterprises exert more effort in the "from 1 to N" stage. In fact, today's innovation ecosystem in China is already a scene of **百花竞秀** (bǎi huā jìng xiù - "a hundred flowers blooming," a metaphor for a flourishing scene with diverse talents and ideas). From the popularity of DeepSeek (深势科技), to the rise of Unitree Robotics (宇树科技), to the breakthrough of LandSpace (蓝箭航天) in reusable carrier rocket technology, private enterprises are increasingly becoming an important subject of technological innovation. Data shows that private enterprises contribute more than 70% of the country's technological innovation achievements, covering more than 80% of the national-level specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises and more than 90% of high-tech enterprises. Grasping innovation "regardless of background" is also a choice based on the innovation ecosystem.
To enable private enterprises to play a greater role in technological innovation, full support is needed in terms of equal opportunities and fair rules.
Supporting private enterprises to lead national science and technology programs, opening up national major scientific research infrastructure to private enterprises, exploring the establishment of an entrepreneur science and technology innovation consultation symposium system... A series of measures launched by various regions and departments are creating a good ecosystem that supports innovation and stimulating the innovation vitality of private enterprises. By treating state-owned and private enterprises equally in project application, innovation platform construction, participation in science and technology decision-making, and science and technology awards, private enterprises will have greater room for development.
To enable private enterprises to play a greater role in technological innovation, it is also necessary to further deepen the reform of the scientific research evaluation system.
For a long time, although private enterprise experts have made outstanding contributions in technology implementation and industrial transformation, they do not have an advantage in professional title evaluation and other aspects because scientific research evaluation often focuses more on "academic indicators" such as papers and awards. This requires us to further break the problems of being solely focused on papers, professional titles, academic qualifications, and awards, correct the tendency of emphasizing quantitative indicators and neglecting quality contributions, and promote the transformation of the scientific research evaluation system towards the direction of "establishing new standards" and "looking at actual results."
Incentivize more private enterprise science and technology workers at the forefront of the market to overcome difficulties and promote the formation of a deeply integrated innovation system of industry, academia, research, and application. It is believed that the enthusiasm of the vast number of private enterprises for innovation and creation will be continuously stimulated, and the cultivation and expansion of new quality productive forces will have a more solid support.

【Phenomenon】Nowadays, ginkgo trees are common in some cities, so why are they still classified as endangered? In fact, it is "wild ginkgo" that is endangered, not "landscape ginkgo." The former has a small population, while the latter has the same or similar genes, and relying on them cannot increase the genetic diversity of ginkgo. This reflects the important significance of germplasm resource diversity.
【Commentary】
Germplasm resources refer to carriers that carry biological genetic information and have actual or potential utilization value. Is "germplasm" the same as "seeds"? In fact, the two cannot be equated.
Taking crop germplasm resources as an example, they cover the propagation materials of cultivated species, wild species, and endangered rare species of crops. The forms include not only fruits and grains, but also seedlings, roots, stems, leaves, buds, and flowers, as well as living material such as tissues, cells, DNA, DNA fragments, and genes. It can be seen that the scope of germplasm resources is much larger than that of seeds. The seed industry is the "chip" of agriculture, and the importance of germplasm resources cannot be underestimated.
As the source and foundation of seed industry innovation, germplasm resources have a particularly prominent position in the field of food security. When "Father of Hybrid Rice" Yuan Longping (袁隆平) created the "three-line hybrid rice" technology, he needed to use three different functional rice parents, namely male sterile lines, maintainer lines, and restorer lines, to cooperate in achieving hybrid breeding. Thanks to the discovery of the male sterile wild rice "Ye Bai" (野败) in Hainan (海南) in 1970, China's hybrid rice development ushered in a new chapter. In 1979, the research group led by Academician Li Zhensheng (李振声) developed a new wheat variety "Xiaoyan 6" (小偃6号) after more than 20 years of research. With its characteristics of effectively resisting wheat stripe rust, high yield, and good quality, it has become an important backbone parent for wheat breeding in China. It can be said that major development breakthroughs in China's agriculture are closely related to the discovery, research, and utilization of key germplasm resources.
Since the implementation of the Seed Industry Revitalization Action Plan (《种业振兴行动方案》) in 2021, China's seed source security level has steadily improved, and seed industry scientific and technological innovation has entered the world's first echelon. A number of major new varieties such as rice resistant to rice planthoppers and corn suitable for dense planting and mechanized harvesting have been launched. In the past, the independent breeding of varieties such as broccoli mainly relied on foreign countries, but now more and more high-quality Chinese seeds are breaking ground and growing vigorously. The area of independently bred crop varieties accounts for more than 95%, the supply guarantee rate of national-level seed industry bases reaches 80%, and the "family property" of germplasm resources is thicker, laying a solid foundation for enriching the "rice bag," stabilizing the "vegetable basket," and enriching the "fruit plate."
It should also be noted that China is a large country in terms of germplasm resources, but it is not yet a strong country in terms of germplasm resources. There are still shortcomings such as insufficient accurate identification and utilization of germplasm resources and a lack of breakthrough varieties. Closely focusing on the requirements of high-quality development, facing problems directly, making precise efforts, and concentrating efforts to solve problems, make up for shortcomings, strengthen advantages, and control risks are necessary to promote the overall improvement of seed industry revitalization from point to area.
Among them, doing a good job in the identification and improvement of germplasm resources is a key task. At present, China has only completed 35% of the phenotypic identification of germplasm resources, which is still a considerable distance from the goal of reaching 60% by 2030. Carrying out special surveys of germplasm resources, accelerating the accurate identification of resources, understanding the current situation and development trends of China's agricultural germplasm resources, and grasping the collection, protection, and sharing and utilization are the primary tasks for winning the seed industry turnaround battle and a major strategic need related to the long-term development of agriculture.
In the context of breeding innovation moving towards a new stage characterized by "biotechnology + artificial intelligence," it is also necessary to accelerate the innovation of artificial intelligence-driven breeding systems, strengthen the research and application of intelligent breeding equipment and breeding algorithm models, and create a number of new smart breeding scenarios. Promoting the deep integration of the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, and talent chain in the breeding field can enable good varieties to form real productivity as soon as possible.
Small seeds contain the energy to change the world. Strengthening the collection, protection, development, and utilization of germplasm resources, using "Chinese seeds" to breed "Chinese grain," and helping to secure "China's rice bowl" and build a solid "grain depot of a major country" will give us more confidence and a more solid footing in responding to various risks and challenges.

The lights shine on us, and we can strongly feel that we are never lonely watchers. Countless people care about, remember, and admire this group of heroes.
"Comrade-in-arms, I will guard you with my life." This is what my father, Ayimaier Yiti (艾买尔·依提), often said. Now, the burden has fallen on my shoulders.
My father was the guardian of the Martyrs' Cemetery in Yecheng County (叶城县), Xinjiang (新疆), before his death. He was also a border soldier who had been on the battlefield. When I was a child, I often heard my father tell stories about the battles: on the Karakoram Mountains (喀喇昆仑山) with an average altitude of more than 5,500 meters, he and his comrades were so cold that they could not sleep, so they huddled together to keep warm and made a pact of life and death - whoever lived would sweep the graves of those who sacrificed. One sentence, a lifetime. After retiring and returning to his hometown, thinking of his comrades who were buried on the battlefield, he gave up his job as the principal of a local middle school and moved here with his wife and children, starting his more than 40-year career as a cemetery keeper.
This cemetery, located at the western end of the country, now houses 111 martyrs, including combat hero Simayi Maimaiti (司马义·买买提), thunder hero Luo Guangxie (罗光燮), and blasting hero Wang Zhongdian (王忠殿). When we first arrived at the cemetery, it was still a desolate Gobi desert. My father took us to plant trees. The saplings were "begged" from neighboring villages, and the water was pulled back from several kilometers away by donkey cart. Today, more than 6,000 red willows and pines have grown into a lush forest. The red willows are drought-resistant and the green pines are tall and straight, like the continuation of the martyrs' steel will.
I grew up in the cemetery, planting trees, sweeping tombs, and repairing tombstones. I have been influenced by what I saw and heard since I was a child. In 2015, my father was getting old, and I officially took over from my father and became the cemetery keeper. The martyrs are sleeping, but the stories cannot sleep. Only then did I realize that the stories my father always talked about were already familiar to me.
This is a heavy responsibility, but also a heavy honor: in 2017, my father was elected as a National Moral Model, and I stood on the podium of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂) for him. Guarding the cemetery is guarding the national heroes, and it is also guarding the heroes for the country. We must not only guard this physical space, but also tell their stories and inherit their spirit. Sorting out materials, designing venues, running around to make contacts... This year, the Martyrs' Memorial Hall has been completely renewed, and many little-known combat details and heroic deeds have been better presented and preserved.
Behind every tombstone is a heroic soul waiting to return home. Under the leadership of the local Party organization, we launched an action to find relatives for the martyrs. The younger sister of martyr Wang Qifang (王奇芳) is already over 80 years old. After 62 years and more than 4,000 kilometers of travel, she finally "reunited" with her lost brother. "My brother is doing well here." I think my father would be very happy if he could hear this.
In recent years, the state has increased its efforts to protect martyrs' memorial facilities and has also established the Martyrs' Memorial Day. The cemetery has been listed as a National National Defense Education Demonstration Base and an Autonomous Region Patriotic Education Base. Every year during Qingming Festival and other festivals, thousands of people come to pay their respects. In November this year, I took the stories of the heroes to the "Party Class Starts" (党课开讲啦) platform in the Autonomous Region. Also present were Chen Jungui (陈俊贵), a veteran who has guarded the Qiao'erma Martyrs' Cemetery (乔尔玛烈士陵园) on the Duku Highway (独库公路) for 37 years, and the Lao Han (老韩) couple who have guarded the Railway Soldiers Martyrs' Cemetery (铁道兵烈士陵园) on the Southern Xinjiang Railway (南疆铁路) for more than 30 years. The lights shine on us, and we can strongly feel that we are never lonely watchers. Countless people care about, remember, and admire this group of heroes.
"Continue to guard and let the martyrs rest in peace." This was my father's deep entrustment before his death. Decades ago, the martyrs fought desperately with the enemy for this land under their feet, not giving up an inch. Most of them were in their early twenties when they sacrificed, and many of them did not leave any descendants, but we are all their descendants. Today, standing on the same land, my responsibility is to guard these heroes and guard this forest of spiritual monuments.

Return to TopDuring the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China comprehensively strengthened wetland protection and management, promulgated the Wetland Protection Law, implemented the "National Wetland Protection Plan (2022-2030)", and implemented more than 1,000 wetland protection projects, scientifically restoring 289,600 hectares of wetlands. Currently, China's wetland area is stable at more than 800 million mu, and about 90% of the national wetland parks are open to the public for free, continuing to write a new chapter of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
This is precisely:
Clear waves ripple connecting to the blue sky,
Flying feathers playfully frolic in the reed bushes.
Skilled hands repair and display the scroll,
Harmonious coexistence, joyfully and merrily 乐融融 (lè róng róng - "harmonious and joyous," describes a scene of happiness and harmony).

Return to Top"Grouped and Connected" Tests Skills
By Zhou Chuqiao (周楚乔)
To comprehensively revitalize the countryside, the single, piecemeal village development model is no longer suitable for the new situation. The advantages of "grouped and connected" village development are becoming increasingly prominent. This places new demands on rural grassroots cadres.
A collaborative vision and systematic thinking that transcends the "one-mu-three-fen land." The key to grouped and connected development lies in breaking down administrative barriers and achieving joint planning, joint construction of facilities, joint industrial development, and resource sharing. Grassroots cadres must completely abandon "localism" and "island thinking," possess a vision of regional collaboration, integrate the advantages of their own village into the regional layout, and learn from the strengths of other villages to compensate for their own weaknesses.
The communication art and integration ability of negotiation and consultation. Each village has its own unique history, culture, resource endowments, and interests. Under the "grouped and connected" development, grassroots cadres are no longer just "spokespersons" for their own villages, but also "creators" and "coordinators" of the common interests of the area. They must possess high communication, negotiation, and consultation skills, and be good at finding the "greatest common divisor" among different demands.
The knowledge and skills of industrial integration. "Grouped and connected" development is not a simple superposition of the industries of several villages, but a deep integration and upgrading based on regional division of labor. Grassroots cadres should become "all-rounders" who understand the market, know how to operate, and are good at management, and promote the formation of a differentiated and characteristic industrial development pattern.
Grouped and connected development is a complex systematic project. This requires resisting pressure and maintaining strategic focus on the overall plan that has been scientifically demonstrated, and working on it one term after another. At the same time, promote a pragmatic style, start with the projects that the masses are most concerned about and that are most effective, so that farmers can enjoy tangible dividends.
(Excerpted and compiled from *Farmers' Daily*, originally titled "What are the requirements for grassroots cadres in rural 'grouped and connected' areas?")
Saying No to "It Has Always Been This Way"
By Zhou Shuangyuan (周双远)
"It's always been like this," "It's always been implemented this way"... According to reports, in the mouths of some cadres, "it has always been this way" has become a panacea.
"It has always been this way" exposes a kind of path dependence. Some cadres are content with the status quo, accustomed to following the rules in their comfort zone, and do not study new situations or explore new methods; some lack a sense of initiative, regard "no precedent" as an excuse for "cannot do," and have neither a breakthrough idea nor a spirit of tackling tough problems; some are afraid of taking risks, go around conflicts and retreat from difficult problems, and regard "nothing happening" as the greatest pursuit. Similar tendencies are worth pondering.
Seeking truth from facts and daring to venture and try are the methodology for deepening reform. Many new problems have no ready-made answers, nor are there any past experiences to follow. If we blindly adhere to "it has always been this way," we will only miss development opportunities. It should be noted that past experiences are the product of specific historical conditions. If they are mechanically applied without considering the current reality, we may fall into the situation of "old methods not working and new methods not knowing how to use."
To break "it has always been this way," we must tighten the "master switch" of thought and activate the "power source" of action. Cadres must establish the awareness that "convention does not equal rationality" and break the blind worship of past experience. When convention is out of touch with reality and experience does not meet needs, timely adjustment and bold innovation are responsible attitudes.
Institutional guarantees are indispensable. Encourage and affirm and tolerate mistakes for "innovators" who dare to break with convention and actively solve problems; promptly remind and seriously hold accountable "conservatives" who stick to the rules and are perfunctory; and also unblock channels for mass supervision.

Using culture to influence people, using culture to nourish virtue, and using culture to cultivate integrity, drawing on the nourishing elements of integrity from traditional culture, practicing diligently and persevering, will surely be successful.
Strolling along the eastern bank of the Beijing section of the Grand Canal (京杭大运河) in the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center (北京城市副中心), one might stumble upon a "Canal Breeze of Integrity" (运河清风) theme park for promoting integrity culture. Inside the park are statues of famous honest officials from ancient times and carvings recording admonitions and maxims. The rich atmosphere of integrity culture blends harmoniously with the surrounding natural beauty, attracting many to stop and admire. Nowadays, public activity spaces with the theme of integrity culture like this are becoming more and more common.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized, "Use outstanding traditional culture to rectify the mind and clarify virtue." Outstanding Chinese traditional culture contains rich ideological philosophies, spiritual strength, and cultural nourishment, which highly coincides with the spiritual realm of contemporary Chinese Communists in rectifying the mind and clarifying virtue. For Party members and cadres, drawing on the value concepts of advocating integrity and cleanliness from outstanding Chinese traditional culture is conducive to cultivating the ideological soil of "not wanting to be corrupt," enhancing immunity to corruption, and firmly guarding the foundation of being clean and honest in governance.
To give a good lesson on integrity culture, one should learn and reflect on it constantly. Studying historical documents to deeply understand the historical law that corruption leads to the downfall of people and the cessation of governance; savoring classical literature to cultivate the value pursuit of respecting virtue and doing good; studying family letters and instructions to appreciate the teachings that transcend time and space, and enhance the determination to be self-reliant and self-disciplined... As the saying goes, "When you see good, cultivate it to preserve yourself; when you see evil, be alarmed and reflect on yourself." Learning to correctly handle the relationship between public and private, righteousness and profit, hardship and happiness, helps to cultivate the great virtue of loyalty to the Party, the public virtue of benefiting the people, and the private virtue of strict self-discipline.
Correcting conduct and cultivating the mind begins with small things and is achieved through perseverance. The *Zhenguan Zhengyao* (《贞观政要》) records, "Gong Yixiu (公仪休) had a fondness for fish, but did not accept fish from others, so his fish lived long," which still gives people inspiration; Yang Zhen (杨震) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (东汉) said, "Heaven knows, God knows, I know, and you know," the story of "refusing gold at night" is thought-provoking; Lu Zhi (陆贽) of the Tang Dynasty (唐代) believed that "nothing is more harmful to customs and principles than selfishness," and being clean and abiding by the law became a good story... From ancient times to the present, small things and small details reflect character. Adhering to catching things early and small, and preventing problems before they occur, helps to prevent small trickles from becoming large collapses.
To use outstanding traditional culture to rectify the mind and clarify virtue, it is also necessary to enrich the supply of integrity culture. In Qianshan (潜山), Anhui (安徽), relying on the local characteristics of opera types, Huangmei Opera (黄梅戏) such as *Bao Gong's Governance of Water* (《包公治水》) was created, using opera to sing about integrity, and the audience exclaimed that it was down-to-earth; in Changting (长汀), Fujian (福建), local integrity stories and family rules and instructions were compiled into a book of filial piety and integrity, which aroused empathy through reading and sharing; the Yulian Hall (育廉馆) of Chengdu University of Technology (成都理工大学) introduced VR technology to restore historical scenes of integrity, and visitors can "travel" through time and space to dialogue with historical figures... "Using the rules of the ancients to create one's own new face," through the creative transformation and innovative development of outstanding Chinese traditional culture, constantly nourishing the original intention, is conducive to realizing a positive cycle of a correct Party conduct, a clean government conduct, and a pure folk customs.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" (十五五规划) proposes: "Promote a culture of integrity and honesty." Giving full play to the value orientation, behavioral constraints, and ecological purification of integrity culture, the vast number of Party members and cadres should hold the "steering wheel" of good use of power, fasten the "seat belt" of integrity, strengthen the subjective cognition and daily practice of integrity and honest behavior, always respect, reflect on, warn, and encourage themselves, be cautious in solitude, be cautious at the beginning, be cautious in small matters, and be cautious in making friends, and fulfill their duties and make contributions to creating a political ecology and social environment with a clear atmosphere.
Using culture to influence people, using culture to nourish virtue, and using culture to cultivate integrity, drawing on the nourishing elements of integrity from traditional culture, 躬身力行 (gōng shēn lì xíng - "personally practice," to personally and diligently put something into practice) and 久久为功 (jiǔ jiǔ wéi gōng - "achieve success through persistent effort," persistent effort leads to success), will surely allow the integrity culture of the new era to burst forth with vitality, making it internalized into the ideological and conscious action of nourishing the original intention, strengthening beliefs, and cultivating morality.

Student financial aid is crucial for educational equity and people's well-being. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the financial aid system of "full coverage of all academic stages, full-process guarantee, and all-round education" has been continuously improved, supporting the dreams of hundreds of millions of students. At present, the student financial aid policies and systems are increasingly sound, building a diversified policy system of "scholarships, grants, loans, exemptions, work-study programs, subsidies, and reductions."
According to statistics, from 2021 to 2024, a total of 630 million students nationwide received financial aid, with a total amount exceeding 1.2 trillion yuan, of which the cumulative investment from financial departments at all levels was 848.2 billion yuan, accounting for 70% of the total financial aid amount, which is the main source of student financial aid funds, with an average annual investment increase of 32% compared with the "13th Five-Year Plan" period.
The scope of financial aid has been further expanded, and the standards have been further improved.
In front of the student loan application counter of the Panzhou Education Bureau (盘州市教育局) in Guizhou Province (贵州省), parents and students often come to inquire or handle business.
"What is the maximum amount I can apply for?" Facing the question, Chen Huai (陈怀), the person in charge of student loans at the financial aid center, explained the policies while guiding the application process.
"The standard has been raised. Now, undergraduate and junior college students can apply for a maximum loan of 20,000 yuan per year, and the loan term is '15 years + remaining years of study'," Chen Huai (陈怀) explained. "This year's newly enrolled junior college students can borrow for 18 years, and undergraduate students can borrow for 19 years, with a maximum of no more than 22 years."
"How is the interest calculated?" a parent asked.
"The interest during school is fully subsidized by the national treasury. After graduation, interest will be calculated from September 1 of that year, and the principal plus interest will only need to be repaid from the sixth year after graduation. The first 5 years are a buffer period, and only interest needs to be repaid," Chen Huai (陈怀) said.
With the assistance of the staff, several students successfully completed the loan procedures.
"Student loans have been a great help to me," said Zhang Guiyou (张桂尤), a graduate student at Jimei University (集美大学). "When I was an undergraduate, student loans reduced my financial pressure. Now that I have been admitted to graduate school, the loan amount has been increased, allowing me to complete my studies with peace of mind."
Since the autumn semester of 2024, the maximum amount of loan that full-time ordinary undergraduate and junior college students can apply for each year has been increased from no more than 16,000 yuan to no more than 20,000 yuan, and the maximum amount of loan that full-time graduate students can apply for each year has been increased from no more than 20,000 yuan to no more than 25,000 yuan; the national student loan interest rate has been adjusted from the loan market quoted interest rate of the same period minus 60 basis points to minus 70 basis points.
In recent years, the national financial aid policy has undergone many adjustments and improvements. On the one hand, the scope of financial aid has been further expanded. The number of national scholarships for undergraduate and junior college students and national scholarships for graduate students has doubled to 120,000 and 90,000, respectively; starting from the spring semester of this year, eligible third-year students in secondary vocational schools have been included in the scope of national grant aid for the first time. On the other hand, the standards of financial aid have been further improved. At present, the national scholarship award standard for undergraduate and junior college students has been increased to 10,000 yuan, the national inspirational scholarship standard has been increased to 6,000 yuan, the average financial aid standard for national grants for undergraduate and junior college students has been increased to 3,700 yuan, and the average financial aid standard for national grants for ordinary high schools and secondary vocational education has been increased to 2,300 yuan.
"Expanding the scope and raising the standards are the main directions of the financial aid policy adjustment. The financial aid coverage has achieved 'three full coverages' for all academic stages, all schools, and all students with financial difficulties; the financial aid standards have been raised from low to high, achieving 'three no worries' before enrollment, at the time of enrollment, and after enrollment," said Zhu Fuyan (朱富言), associate researcher at the Institute of Educational Finance, Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences (中国教育科学研究院). "This ensures from the system that 'no student is out of school due to family financial difficulties'."
Multi-department data sharing, accurately identifying students from special groups who need financial aid.
Turn left out of the school gate, pass the village committee, then turn right uphill, and the first house on the right in the third row is the home of Jiang Xiaoqiang (江小强), a household that has been lifted out of poverty. Wan Jiaqi (万佳琪), the financial aid officer of Jinqiao Central Primary School (金桥中心小学) in Xinjian District (新建区), Nanchang City (南昌市), Jiangxi Province (江西省), is already very familiar with this road.
Jiang Xiaoqiang's (江小强) child is in the fifth grade of primary school and is a key tracking object for financial aid. Entering the door, Wan Jiaqi (万佳琪) took out a screening ledger from her bag, which detailed the family situation, grade level, type and amount of financial aid received, and monthly verification records of each student from a household that has been lifted out of poverty or is being monitored.
"How is the child eating? Has the grant arrived? Is the amount correct?" Wan Jiaqi (万佳琪) chatted while recording in the ledger.
"The money has been received, and it all matches!" Jiang Xiaoqiang (江小强) thanked her repeatedly.
"Are there any other problems with the child's studies or life?" Wan Jiaqi (万佳琪) asked again.
"It's all good, but he's a bit introverted and doesn't like to communicate with his classmates," Jiang Xiaoqiang (江小强) said.
"I will communicate this situation with the homeroom teacher and ask her to pay more attention," Wan Jiaqi (万佳琪) said while making a note in her notebook.
After completing all the verifications, Wan Jiaqi (万佳琪) got up and went to the next household. After a day of screening work, she also had to enter all the information into the computer.
Deng Yirui (邓艺睿), deputy director of the Xinjian District Education and Sports Bureau (新建区教育体育局), introduced, "Each township central primary school and central school in the district has established an education assistance work team, which is responsible for comprehensively screening and tracking the enrollment information and financial aid status of students from households that have been lifted out of poverty or are being monitored in their jurisdiction. The ledger is updated once a month."
Accurate identification and accurate financial aid require dynamic monitoring by staff, as well as the interconnection of big data.
"Relying on the National Student Financial Aid Management Information System (全国学生资助管理信息系统), we have established a normalized information sharing and comparison mechanism, and implemented a dual responsibility system for school principals and township jurisdictions, accurately locating the information of students from special groups with difficulties such as households that have been lifted out of poverty, dynamic monitoring objects to prevent returning to poverty, low-income families, families in extreme difficulty, disabilities, and orphans at the first time, ensuring that no one is missed," Deng Yirui (邓艺睿) said.
At present, the National Student Financial Aid Management Information System (全国学生资助管理信息系统) has achieved data sharing with the Ministry of Civil Affairs (民政部), the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (农业农村部), the China Disabled Persons' Federation (中国残联) and other departments, comparing and issuing data on students from 13 types of special groups such as poverty-stricken families, providing strong data support for accurate identification of financial aid recipients and safeguarding the bottom line of people's livelihood in various regions and schools.
"With the help of big data, the identification and recognition of financial aid recipients is accurate, the intensity of financial aid is accurate, and the distribution time is accurate," Zhu Fuyan (朱富言) suggested that the next step is to promote the unification of cross-departmental data standards and promote data sharing and functional integration between the national platform and local platforms.
The concept of financial aid has been expanded from "security-oriented financial aid" to "emphasizing both security and development."
From stammering and sweating on the first time on stage to later taking the initiative to go on stage and calmly sharing the local customs and practices of his hometown, Wu You Shuang (吴友双), a student at the School of Mathematical Sciences of Dalian University of Technology (大连理工大学), benefited from the school's development-oriented financial aid project - the "Breaking Cocoon Plan."
"I have always admired those who can speak calmly and generously on stage, and I also yearn to be the protagonist on stage. When I learned that the 'Breaking Cocoon Plan' had a speech breakthrough camp, I signed up as soon as possible," Wu You Shuang (吴友双) said. "Under the guidance of the teacher, I learned how to sort out my thoughts and how to stand confidently in front of everyone."
"Limited development of interests and specialties, insufficient learning resources, and lack of expression skills are some of the practical difficulties faced by students from families with financial difficulties," said Yu Yang (于洋), a teacher at the Student Financial Aid Center of Dalian University of Technology (大连理工大学). "The launch of the 'Breaking Cocoon Plan' is to strengthen students' comprehensive quality and enhance the core competitiveness of aided students' life development."
The "Breaking Cocoon Plan" offers 6 growth training camps: Employment Assistance, Humanistic Nourishment, Speech Breakthrough, Office Proficiency, AI Empowerment, and Sports and Ping-Pong, covering 10 course directions, inviting teachers and experts from inside and outside the school to teach together, providing a total of 43 high-quality small-class courses with 160 class hours for 237 students from families with financial difficulties.
Now, the concept of financial aid has been expanded from "security-oriented financial aid" to "emphasizing both security and development."
"Some measures in the student financial aid policy, such as increasing the standards for tuition compensation and student loan compensation and exemption for students serving in the military and working at the grassroots level, have both economic leverage and social value orientation," Zhu Fuyan (朱富言) said. This can not only directly reduce the burden on students, but also guide the flow of talent to the fields needed by the country, thereby building a positive cycle of "personal development - social responsibility - national construction," which is conducive to promoting educational equity and optimizing the allocation of talent resources.

More than 300 people, including representatives from government departments, business leaders, and experts and scholars, participated in the forum.
Return to TopDuring the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) vigorously developed the forestry and fruit industry, anchoring its strategic positioning of "building an important supply base for high-quality agricultural and livestock products nationwide," adhering to the development concept of "controlling the area and improving the quality of dried fruits, optimizing the increment of fresh fruits, and extending and supplementing the chain to improve efficiency," focusing on improving the quality and efficiency of the forestry and fruit industry chain construction, and continuously enhancing the supply guarantee capacity of high-quality forestry and fruit products, delivering a bright answer sheet of win-win for ecology and economy. In 2025, Xinjiang's fruit production reached 9.5 million tons (excluding the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (兵团), the same below), the total output value of the forestry and fruit industry was 70 billion yuan, and the income of fruit farmers in the main forestry and fruit producing areas continued to consolidate and improve. The area around the Taklamakan Desert (塔克拉玛干沙漠) plants more than 80% of Xinjiang's forestry and fruit, which not only weaves a "green scarf" to protect the ecology of the Taklamakan area, but also puts an "gem necklace" of industrial revitalization on the area around the Taklamakan Desert. Xinjiang's forestry and fruit is not only a "fruit of prosperity" for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, but also a "protective forest" for ecological governance.
Innovation-Driven Efficiency Improvement
At present, Xinjiang has built a collaborative innovation network and technology promotion team of "production, learning, research, and application" composed of 6 autonomous region-level scientific research and teaching units, 8 prefecture-level scientific research institutes, 112 promotion institutions, and scientific research forces outside Xinjiang. There are more than 2,600 professional and technical personnel related to the forestry and fruit industry in Xinjiang, and nearly 300 people have senior professional and technical titles. By improving the chief expert system, expert teams of 5 industrial technology systems for walnuts, red dates, apricots, apples, and fragrant pears were formed, focusing on weak links in the industrial chain such as germplasm innovation, efficient cultivation, intensive processing, and smart forestry and fruit big data, and carrying out a series of scientific research and technological promotion and application.
Standard Guidance to Improve Quality
The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Forestry and Grassland Bureau (新疆维吾尔自治区林业和草原局) has formulated green production technical specifications and fruit quality grading standards for 12 main cultivated tree species such as walnuts, red dates, and grapes, compiled the "Practical Manual of Cultivation and Management Technology," published the "Practical Technology Series of Forestry and Fruit Industry," and built a standard system covering the entire industrial chain. The expert service team for quality and efficiency improvement of the entire forestry and fruit industry chain in the autonomous region drives technical backbones at the prefecture, county, and township levels to form a service network and carry out technical service work for quality and efficiency improvement of forestry and fruit. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, a total of 3,163 experts were selected to carry out technical services, training 85,600 sessions, covering 5.575 million people, allowing advanced technologies to enter the fields. In more than 7.9 million mu of standardized and high-standard orchards, technologies such as variety optimization, shaping and pruning, sparse and dense transformation, labor-saving cultivation, increased application of organic fertilizers, green prevention and control of harmful organisms, disaster prevention, integrated water and fertilizer management, mechanized application, and graded and varietal harvesting have been fully promoted. The rate of high-quality fruit has jumped from less than 40% at the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan" to 62.3% today, the mechanization rate of production has been significantly improved, and technology and standards have made Xinjiang forestry and fruit more confident in quality.
Multiple Efforts to Expand the Market
Xinjiang has built and improved 29 fruit trading markets through mechanisms such as "hundred cities and thousand stores," "double lines and nine entries," and "Xinjiang fruit transported to the east," forming a forestry and fruit purchase network with Hotan (和田), Aksu (阿克苏), Wensu (温宿), Jiashi (伽师), Yecheng (叶城), Shanshan (鄯善), and Ruoqiang (若羌) as outlets. The total area of operation and service facilities reaches 1.79 million square meters, radiating 88% of the main forestry and fruit producing counties in southern Xinjiang. Pre-warehouses and sales sub-warehouses are built in provinces and cities aiding Xinjiang, and more than 10,000 foreign sales outlets radiate across the country. Relying on the China Xinjiang Specialty Forestry and Fruit Products Expo, the China Yiwu International Forest Products Expo, and the Xinjiang Agricultural Products Beijing Trade Fair, Xinjiang forestry and fruit has achieved "going out" and precise docking, and more than 80% of the fruit is sold to domestic and foreign markets. Relying on the advantages of the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone (中国（新疆）自贸试验区), 21 opening ports, 28 airports, 506 export fruit orchards, and the logistics development pattern of "one axis, one belt, two rings, and three circles," Xinjiang fruit can directly reach Almaty (阿拉木图), Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦) within 24 hours, the overall fruit transportation efficiency is increased by 50%, and fruit loss is reduced by 3%. Urumqi (乌鲁木齐), Kashgar (喀什) and other 8 prefectures and cities have been listed as national backbone cold chain logistics base carrying cities, and railway cold chain special trains such as "Xinjiang plum special train" and "fragrant pear special train" have achieved direct access to areas outside the region in 48 hours. As of 2025, Xinjiang has exported 236,000 tons of forestry and fruit products, with an export value of 3.138 billion yuan, an increase of 28.9% and 47.47% respectively compared with the same period last year, and the products are exported to more than 30 countries and regions.
Brand Empowerment Adds Vitality
At present, 276 forestry and fruit products in Xinjiang have obtained organic agricultural product certification, an increase of 221 compared with 2020; 27 agricultural product geographical indication certifications, an increase of 7; 506 export fruit orchards, an increase of 314. There are 24 independent brands of forestry and fruit enterprises with prominent main businesses, strong competitiveness, and good growth. Relying on the tourism brand of "Xinjiang is a good place" (新疆是个好地方), we will actively build a "forestry and fruit + tourism" industrial system, deeply integrate wine culture tourism elements into 35 3A-level and above tourist attractions such as the Turpan Grape Valley (吐鲁番葡萄沟) and the Yili Tianshan Flower Sea (伊犁天山花海), allowing tourists to feel the unique charm of Xinjiang forestry and fruit while enjoying the scenery and tasting fruits.
From cultivating superior varieties to consolidate the planting foundation, to building demonstration parks to set benchmarks, from cultivating leading enterprises to strengthen and supplement the chain, to technological innovation to empower quality and efficiency improvement, from brand upgrading to enhance core value, to cultural and tourism integration to expand diversified scenarios, Xinjiang forestry and fruit is letting the fragrance of forestry and fruit float farther with a more high-spirited attitude.

"When crossing the road, you need to watch out for cars!"
"I plan to go to the auto show tomorrow to look at cars."
Are the "look at cars" in these two sentences the same meaning? I believe many people will smile knowingly. On the surface, it is the same phrase, but its meaning changes due to different contexts.
This is a common "one word, many meanings" phenomenon in Chinese. Artificial intelligence large models are a technology closely related to human language. To enable large models to deeply understand this phenomenon, a continuous supply of Chinese data is essential.
Currently, the proportion of Chinese data used in most domestic model training exceeds 60%, and some models reach 80%. What is the significance of increasing the proportion of Chinese data in large model training? Why is high-quality Chinese data continuously increasing? How can the development and supply of Chinese data be further increased? The reporter conducted interviews.
Data is like the "knowledge textbook" of large models.
What impact does data in different languages have on the performance of large models? "Data is like the 'knowledge textbook' of large models. Different language attributes of the textbook will have different impacts on the model's knowledge system," said Meng Qingguo (孟庆国), Executive Director and Professor of the Computational Social Science and National Governance Laboratory at Tsinghua University (清华大学).
From the perspective of knowledge sources, in the past, China's large models often faced the risk of "data dependence" – English data accounts for a higher proportion of the global Internet. For example, cutting-edge scientific and technological papers, industry standards, and cultural classics are mostly presented in English, and high-quality labeled data worldwide is also mostly in English.
"Language-based large models generally need to follow certain language habits," said Pan Helin (盘和林), a member of the Expert Committee on Information and Communication Economics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部). Increasing the proportion of Chinese data not only makes it easier for users to understand its output results, but also ensures and enhances China's research and development capabilities in large models.
"If the proportion of Chinese data is low, the model is vulnerable to the impact of 'data authorization restrictions' and 'update delays' in key technology iterations," said Meng Qingguo (孟庆国). Increasing the proportion of Chinese data helps China take key steps in "data security" and "technological autonomy," which is conducive to China's control over the development of large models.
"Unique cultural habits, metaphorical expressions, and policy terms in Chinese data are difficult to reflect in English data. The 'English-style cognitive logic' formed by the model's long-term learning of English data is prone to deviations when understanding the unique Chinese way of thinking," introduced Zhao Yanjun (赵艳军), General Manager of the Consumer AI Interaction Business Department of iFlytek (科大讯飞). The increase in the proportion of Chinese data enhances the large model's understanding of Chinese culture and Chinese scenarios. For example, in traditional Chinese medicine (中医) consultations, concepts such as "上火" (shàng huǒ - "internal heat") and "湿气" (shī qì - "dampness") require a Chinese context to be accurately inferred.
From the perspective of knowledge inheritance, Chinese data carries China's thousands of years of cultural accumulation. Increasing the proportion of Chinese data enables large models to promote the digital dissemination of Chinese culture. "Models with a high proportion of Chinese data can explain 'the usage of classical Chinese function words' and 'the tonal patterns of poetry.' For example, when explaining '之乎者也' (zhī hū zhě yě - classical Chinese particles), combining cases from Chinese classics such as *The Analects* (《论语》) and *Mencius* (《孟子》) makes traditional cultural education more vivid," said Meng Qingguo (孟庆国).
The supply capacity of high-quality Chinese data is constantly increasing.
What is the difference between ordinary Chinese data and high-quality Chinese data? Ordinary data is mostly unverified online text and non-professional content, which is prone to factual errors or conceptual confusion. High-quality data needs to be "fact-checked and professionally reviewed," with accurate semantics and traceable sources.
To understand the importance of high-quality Chinese data, we can start with the professional scenario of medical diagnosis. In August of this year, the Chinese clinical medicine knowledge graph "Panyi Knowledge Graph" (磐医知识图谱) was released in Taizhou (台州), Zhejiang (浙江). "Currently, some of the medical knowledge learned by large models comes from publicly available data on the Internet. Some of this public data is not rigorous, some is contradictory, and some is outdated. These situations will have a negative impact on the results generated by large models," said Lin Hui (林辉), Director of the Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Medical Intelligent Decision-making. The data in the "Panyi Knowledge Graph" (磐医知识图谱) is reviewed by medical experts, each knowledge point has a clear source, and medical progress is dynamically updated.
The improvement of large model performance reflects the value of high-quality Chinese data. Thanks to the combined efforts of a series of factors, the supply capacity of high-quality Chinese data is constantly increasing:
Policies provide support. From the "*Data Element ×* Three-Year Action Plan (2024-2026)" (《“数据要素×”三年行动计划（2024—2026年）》) proposing to "create high-quality artificial intelligence large model training datasets" to the National Data Bureau (国家数据局) planning to build data labeling bases, under the favorable policies, a large number of high-quality Chinese datasets are accelerating construction.
Technology has breakthroughs. Chinese data is "more ambiguous and more context-dependent," and the early labeling cost was 1.8-2.5 times that of English data. With the continuous progress of technology, the development difficulty is also decreasing. For example, a domestic "Chinese semantic annotation system" can automatically distinguish the meaning of "打" (dǎ - "to hit/make") in "打毛衣" (dǎ máoyī - "knitting a sweater") and "打电话" (dǎ diànhuà - "making a phone call"), which improves the labeling efficiency by 3 times and effectively reduces the cost.
The industry has a consensus. The demand for "Chinese-adapted" large models in domestic vertical scenarios is constantly heating up, promoting Chinese data from "auxiliary supplement" to "core resource," and more companies are participating in the development of Chinese data. For example, China Mobile (中国移动) has built a general high-quality dataset covering more than 30 industries and more than 3500TB (terabytes).
Collaboratively build standards and subdivide multiple scenarios.
Token (usually referred to as "word element") is the smallest data unit for processing text. Data shows that in early 2024, China's daily consumption of Tokens was 100 billion. As of the end of September this year, China's daily consumption of Tokens has exceeded 40 trillion. Behind these numbers is the rapid accumulation and value release of Chinese data resources.
How can we further enhance the development and supply of Chinese data? Experts and scholars have brought thoughts and suggestions.
The first is to build standards. Among the existing Chinese data, there is a lot of duplicate content and little high-quality content, especially in vertical fields such as medical care and industry, where high-quality data is even scarcer. For example, in medical data, some hospitals only write "fever" when recording medical records, while others write "fever 38.5 degrees Celsius, accompanied by cough for 2 days." Without a standard "ruler" to judge data quality, further development is difficult to promote.
"After clarifying the Chinese annotation standards in different fields, it will be more conducive to building and improving evaluation and incentive mechanisms," Meng Qingguo (孟庆国) believes that we should accelerate the research and formulation of Chinese data classification standards, so as to release the supply vitality of Chinese data.
The second is to strengthen technology. In the construction process of high-quality datasets, it is still inevitable to encounter a large number of data silos and compliance problems. For example, the data of different institutions is difficult to circulate across domains due to privacy security and other compliance requirements, resulting in repeated data labeling by various institutions, which wastes resources and cannot form a scale effect.
"We can promote the application of a new generation of labeling technology to complete cross-institutional collaborative labeling under the condition that the original data does not leave the domain and privacy security is guaranteed, so as to integrate the strength of multiple institutions and avoid repeated labor," said Zhao Yanjun (赵艳军).
In addition, we need to supplement scenarios. China's industrial system is complete, and its breadth and depth determine that we need more Chinese data in subdivided scenarios. "For example, in emerging scenarios such as the metaverse, the amount of Chinese data used is only 1/5 of that of English; another example is that the degree of digitization in traditional scenarios such as traditional Chinese medicine (中医) and intangible cultural heritage (非遗) is low, and a large amount of valuable information has not been transformed into usable data resources," Meng Qingguo (孟庆国) said that we can promote the collaboration of government, industry, academia, research and application, and specially collect Chinese data in various vertical scenarios to activate industrial applications.
Promote the integration of culture and technology.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" (“十五五”规划) proposal proposes to "promote the integration of culture and technology." Exploring effective mechanisms for the integration of culture and technology requires using Internet thinking and information technology to improve the cultural creation and production process, and promote the digital and intelligent empowerment and information transformation of cultural construction.
"*Cultural IP + Technology Experience*" reshapes the cultural tourism industry ecosystem. Through the combination of online digital platforms and offline immersive scenarios, many places have created digital cultural tourism spaces and developed new applications such as "tourism + intelligent body," realizing the two-way empowerment of culture and technology. "*Cultural Creation + Artificial Intelligence*" expands industrial integration scenarios. Currently, AI technologies represented by large models are deeply integrated with film and television, cultural and expo, and other fields, giving birth to new products such as AI short dramas and museum digital cultural creations, which not only enrich cultural expression methods, but also cultivate more new cultural consumption scenarios. "*Characteristic Culture + Digital Technology*" helps the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside. Through digital technology, integrating landmark agricultural products and rural intangible cultural heritage skills into micro-short drama and other content creation can further enhance the creative ability and expression of characteristic cultural products, and inject new impetus into the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.

"This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company (上海京剧院), and also my 35th year entering the Jingju Theatre Company. The Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company (上海京剧院) and I have accompanied each other and grown together," said Jingju actress Shi Yihong (史依弘).
Taking the 70th anniversary of its founding as an opportunity, the Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company (上海京剧院) recently performed six classic plays in a row for seven days in Beijing (北京). From the start of ticket sales, the Beijing Chang'an Grand Theatre (北京长安大戏院) ticket office was flooded with phone calls. Including "The Legend of the White Snake" starring Shi Yihong (史依弘), tickets for many performances were hard to come by.
Tickets sold out before the performance, and cheers resounded throughout the theater during the performance. Behind the 一票难求 (yī piào nán qiú - "one ticket difficult obtain," tickets are in great demand) phenomenon is the artistic pursuit of an established Jingju theatre company that continuously refines its stage masterpieces.
Since its establishment in 1955, the Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company (上海京剧院) has always taken the inheritance and development of Jingju art as its mission, accumulating a wealth of artistic treasures. Zhang Fan (张帆), director of the Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company (上海京剧院), said that the theatre's 70 years of exploration of "upholding the right without being bound by the old, and innovating without deviating from the original" is fundamentally aimed at allowing Jingju art to come from history and go deep into the era. "The purpose is to serve the people, to make the ancient stage art radiate new vitality, and to become an artistic reflection of the contemporary people's spiritual world."
The key to promoting Jingju art lies in talent. In this performance, young actors such as Yang Donghu (杨东虎), Chen Shengjie (陈圣杰), and Yang Yang (杨扬) presented the inherited version of "Cao Cao and Yang Xiu"; Chen Shaoyun (陈少云), a famous Qipai artist in his seventies, performed "Song Shijie" on the same stage with his disciples; "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Seven Heroes and Five Gallants" allowed a group of excellent young people from the Jingju Theatre Company to make a concentrated appearance.
"Passing on experience and leading by example" ensures that classic plays are inherited in an orderly manner. In this performance, Shang Changrong (尚长荣), the first winner of the Plum Blossom Grand Prize in Chinese drama, guided young actors in the rehearsal hall to revive the play "Cao Cao and Yang Xiu". He not only taught every detail of the performance to the younger generation, but also encouraged young actors to absorb and learn from it in combination with their own conditions.
One play after another, full of applause. "Through the forest, across the snowfield, soaring into the sky..." Lan Tian (蓝天), the lead actor in the modern Jingju opera "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", won the 32nd China Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2025 for his role as Yang Zirong (杨子荣). As the sixth-generation "Yang Zirong (杨子荣)" performer of the Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company (上海京剧院), he has starred in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" more than 100 times in the past 10 years. "The Lost Empty City Stratagem" led by Wang Peiyu (王珮瑜) showed the profound heritage of the Yu school of art, and the singing sections such as "I am originally a leisurely person in Wolonggang" intoxicated many audiences.
From Song Shijie (宋士杰) shaped by Zhou Xinfang (周信芳) to Cao Cao (曹操) interpreted by Shang Changrong (尚长荣), the Shanghai Jingju Theatre Company (上海京剧院) has always regarded "truth" as the fundamental pursuit of performance, conveying the "truth, goodness and beauty" of art to the audience.
Return to TopThis newspaper's Xi'an (西安) dispatch on December 24th (Reporter Zhang Danhua (张丹华)) - This reporter has learned from the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau (陕西省文物局) that significant archaeological discoveries have been made at the Epang Palace (阿房宫) site in 2025, confirming the construction sequence and construction details of the Epang Palace platform, providing new data for the study of palace shapes, site selection, and Qin (秦) capital city planning.
The Epang Palace (阿房宫) site is located in Fengdong New City (沣东新城), Xixian New Area (西咸新区), Shaanxi (陕西). In 2025, the Epang Palace (阿房宫) and Shanglin Garden (上林苑) archaeological team conducted archaeological excavations in the central-eastern part of the Epang Palace (阿房宫) platform, confirming the accurate location of the southern edge of the Epang Palace (阿房宫) platform within the excavation area, shifting it approximately 32 meters northward compared to previous reconstructed locations.
The 2025 excavation clearly revealed for the first time the basic process of ramming and constructing the Epang Palace (阿房宫) platform: draining the "pool" water within the construction area, then clearing the silt at the bottom to form foundation trenches of varying depths, with the silt at the bottom of the "pool" retaining a similar thickness; then, carrying out the foundation ramming of the Epang Palace (阿房宫) in blocks, with the ramming sequence in the excavation area being from south (outer side) to north (inner side); after the foundation was rammed to a certain height, construction workers and vehicles transported soil from south to north towards the northern part of the platform, forming a lower hard surface; at the northern end of the hard surface, the northern part of the platform was rammed upwards, and then the southern part of the platform was gradually rammed out southward, with the ramming sequence being from north to south. The construction teams had clear tasks and carried out the work in divisions and blocks.
Return to TopDuring the height of winter in Chengde (承德), Hebei Province, the city is draped in silver, showcasing the unique charm of northern China: lights and snow blend harmoniously within the Mountain Resort (避暑山庄), laughter on the Wulie River (武烈河) ice rink cuts through the cold wind, and the Rehe (热河) hot springs are filled with warm, misty air. This northern city, steeped in over 300 years of history, is using ice and snow as its medium, hot springs as its rhythm, and culture as its core. Through three consecutive ice and snow hot spring tourism seasons, it has completely broken the seasonal limitations of being a "summer resort city," transforming winter's "cold resources" into "hot development energy," and taking solid steps on the path of all-area, all-season tourism development.
As a famous tourist city, Chengde (承德) has implemented scientific policies to solve the "hot in summer, cold in winter" tourism pattern and promote the quality and efficiency of the cultural tourism industry, turning "one season of prosperity" into "four seasons of prosperity."
Data witnesses the effectiveness of the transformation: the first Ice and Snow Hot Spring Tourism Season received 19 million tourists and generated a comprehensive tourism income of 35.5 billion yuan, an increase of 121% and 148% respectively compared to the same period in 2019; the second season saw a steady increase in tourist volume and comprehensive income to 21 million and 41 billion yuan respectively, with year-on-year increases of over 10%. Winter tourism has successfully transformed from a "low season weakness" into a "peak season highlight," becoming a vivid practice of thoroughly implementing the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and so are ice and snow."
The 2025-2026 Hebei Chengde (河北承德) Ice and Snow Hot Spring Tourism Season has kicked off, demonstrating Chengde's (承德) firm determination to promote high-quality cultural tourism development. This tourism season lasts from December 2025 to March 2026, covering important time nodes such as the Winter Solstice, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, and Lantern Festival. Revolving around the five major themes of "enjoying ice and snow, bathing in hot springs, appreciating lanterns, experiencing folk customs, and watching competitions," it meticulously plans 26 high-quality cultural tourism events, launches 5 distinctive boutique tourism routes, and constructs a multi-dimensional and differentiated winter tourism experience system. The ice and snow sports sector achieves professional and public empowerment. Jinshanling Galaxy Ski Resort (金山岭银河滑雪场) will host the National Parallel Snowboarding Championships, the Saihanba (塞罕坝) Sports Training Base will host the National Biathlon Championships, the Wulie River (武烈河) Ice Sports Belt will stage the National Speed Skating Outdoor Marathon, and the Mountain Resort's (避暑山庄) "Royal Ice and Snow · Dragon Soars over Rehe (皇家冰雪·龙腾热河)" Carnival and other activities make the fun of ice and snow accessible, and is expected to attract more than 4,000 participants, with participants from outside the city accounting for more than 30%. The hot spring health sector focuses on the "ice and fire fusion" characteristic experience. Tangjiawan Danxia Hot Spring (唐家湾丹霞温泉)'s 55-degree Celsius natural fluorine spring provides warm and therapeutic healing. Chengde Longhua County (承德市隆化县) Rehe Hot Spring Tourist Resort (热河温泉旅游度假区) creates a thousand-lantern night scene of "ice and snow + hot spring + intangible cultural heritage + performance." Traditional Chinese medicine pools, streamside private baths, and other diverse products meet the different health needs of tourists, allowing the billion-year-old geothermal resources to become a "golden soup" for enriching the people and revitalizing the city. Folk customs and competitions complement each other. The Mountain Resort (避暑山庄) Spring Lantern Festival and the 11th Dingsheng Royal Lantern Festival (鼎盛皇家灯会) light up the winter night sky. National-level competitions and traditional activities are intertwined, allowing historical heritage and modern vitality to resonate at the same frequency.
In order to let Chengde's (承德) charm reach a wider stage, Chengde (承德) has explored a distinctive cultural tourism communication path that emphasizes both individual narratives and group interactions: a British self-media creator has become the "Chengde Cultural Tourism Promotion Ambassador." The nearly 40 short videos she released have a total of over 200 million views. The touching moment of watching the sunrise on the Jinshanling Great Wall (金山岭长城) and the warm scene of learning to make dumplings on the street have made "quiet" and "family-friendly" high-frequency evaluations of Chengde (承德) by overseas netizens. The "Youth Together · Dancing Chengde (青春同行·舞动承德)" China-Russia Youth International Cultural Exchange Week brought together 115 Russian youths to experience traditional garden art in the Mountain Resort (避暑山庄) and intangible cultural heritage skills in the paper-cutting workshop. Chengde (承德) is taking multiple measures to keep the wave of cultural exchange and mutual learning surging. The effectiveness of communication is accelerating the transformation into development momentum. From January to October 2025, Chengde's (承德) inbound tourists increased by 68% year-on-year, and the proportion of European and American tourists increased by 23%.
Service quality improvement consolidates the foundation for development, and Chengde (承德) uses details to demonstrate the friendly background of the entire region. As the popularity of cultural tourism rises, Chengde (承德) is simultaneously promoting the upgrading of urban service capabilities, establishing a "Rapid Response Mechanism for International Tourist Services," setting up multilingual guide signs at high-speed rail stations, equipping scenic spots with multilingual signs, establishing foreign reception points in key cultural tourism venues, and building a comprehensive "all-area friendly" tourism service system. The English service of tourist follow-up photographers, the barrier-free communication of scenic spot负责人, and the enthusiastic guidance of young volunteers are all "no translation needed" natural interactions, demonstrating the city's open temperament and humanistic temperature. At the same time, Chengde (承德) is upgrading the "Quan Cheng You (全承游)" cultural tourism digital all-in-one card, launching a 99-yuan winter limited card, linking scenic spots and hotels to launch preferential packages, and adding warm service points to make tourists feel convenient and comfortable in every trip.

In terms of mountain skiing, the winter temperature in the mountains of Guizhou is about minus 2 degrees Celsius to 2 degrees Celsius. The low latitude, high altitude and suitable temperature are good places for enjoying snow, playing in the snow and skiing in the south. Guizhou has launched the "Take the High-speed Rail to Ski" product in conjunction with the Panxing High-speed Railway. Under the warm sunshine of the south, feel the unrestrained and free galloping on the snow at Meihuashan International Ski Resort (梅花山国际滑雪场) and Yushe National Forest Park Ski Resort (玉舍国家森林公园滑雪场), and enjoy the joy of sports in the mountains, strange peaks and valleys.
In terms of folk customs and New Year's flavor, Guizhou has always had the reputation of "cultural archipelago." This winter, Guizhou will focus on festivals such as the Miao New Year and the Dong New Year, and match them with "village-character" activities such as "Village Super League" and "Village BA" to create the brand "Guizhou New Year, the Most Flavorful."

The southern sunshine belt relies on the climatic advantages of Xingyi City (兴义市), Libo County (荔波县) and other places to create the label of "Preferred Place for Wintering in the South," optimize the spatial and temporal layout of tourism products in the province, and provide differentiated winter consumption choices.
In terms of the integration of sports and tourism, a variety of events such as marathons, paddle boarding, and mountain biking are staged in turn, making winter tourism "dynamic and hot," allowing tourists to feel the beauty of Guizhou's mountains and rivers in sports, and enhancing the fun and experience of winter tourism in Guizhou.
In terms of the integration of transportation and tourism, the Panxing High-speed Railway is used as a link to connect key scenic spots such as Huangguoshu Waterfall (黄果树瀑布) and Wanfenglin (万峰林) to create characteristic routes such as cross-line tours and study tours, improve the "fast travel and slow tour" service system, and allow tourists to fully enjoy a convenient and comfortable tourism experience.
Hold characteristic activities and revitalize the whole region through linkage. All cities and prefectures will launch differentiated winter tourism characteristic activities based on their resource endowments. Guizhou continues the annual provincial cultural and tourism preferential activities and incentive policies to attract tourists, and jointly launches high-speed rail tourism ticket packages with railway departments to help achieve "one ticket for a happy tour." All cities and prefectures simultaneously launched measures such as free skiing experience, regional ticket discounts, distribution of consumer coupons, and mutual promotion of scenic spots, running through the entire chain of travel, sightseeing, accommodation, and experience, and comprehensively activating the winter consumption market.

The fifth volume of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" and the previously published Volumes 1 to 4 are authoritative works that collectively reflect Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. General Secretary Xi Jinping's important articles and ideas on comprehensively deepening reform are one of the main contents of the entire volume, systematically reflecting General Secretary Xi Jinping's strategic planning and grand layout for the path of reform and development in our country in the new era, and fully demonstrating the magnificent journey of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, uniting and leading the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country to promote comprehensively deepening reform. Studying these five volumes as a whole can help us better understand and grasp the distinct spiritual qualities and practical character of the great revolution in the new era led by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平).
-- Steering the Course. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that adhering to the Party's comprehensive leadership is our greatest political advantage and the fundamental guarantee for the successful advancement of reform and opening up in our country. Compared with the past, reform and opening up in the new era have many new connotations and characteristics. Reform has entered a period of tackling tough problems and a deep-water zone. It faces more deep-seated institutional and mechanism problems, the conflicts of interest it touches are more profound, and the situation of the great struggle it faces is more complex. What lies before our Party is a historical task of unprecedented arduousness and complexity. We must lead and promote reform on a larger scale and at a deeper level with great historical initiative, great political courage, and a strong sense of responsibility. We must make top-level designs and overall frameworks for reform with a broad and far-reaching strategic vision and overall perspective.
Faced with new situations and new requirements, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) steadily held the heavy helm and shouldered great responsibilities. He decided to establish the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform and personally served as the leader, responsible for the top-level design, overall layout, overall coordination, overall promotion, and supervision and implementation of reform. The Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to change the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform to the Central Commission for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, with General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) serving as the director. This is the first time our Party has established a leading body specializing in reform work at the central level of the Party. In the 12 years since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has chaired more than 70 meetings of the Central Commission for Deepening Reform (Central Leading Group for Deepening Reform), deliberating on important reform plans, studying major reform matters, and deploying the implementation of key tasks. With bold strokes and in an orderly manner, he creatively planned and promoted reform and opening up in the new era, and promoted reforms in various fields and aspects with an irresistible force and an unstoppable momentum. In leading and promoting specific reform work, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) made strategic decisions and personally took charge. He personally oversaw and directed major issues such as political stance, direction, and principles. He personally coordinated and planned major reforms and major deployments. He personally initiated and solved complex and sensitive reform tasks involving complex interests. He personally demonstrated and promoted precise efforts and precise implementation of reform, effectively enhancing the Party Central Committee's leadership and authority over comprehensively deepening reform, and ensuring that the entire Party always maintains unified thinking, firm will, coordinated action, and strong combat effectiveness in reform.
-- Ideological Guidance. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that theoretical innovation has a major guiding role in practical innovation, and comprehensively deepening reform must be guided by theoretical innovation. The glorious course of reform and opening up in our country over the past 40 years has also been a process in which our Party has continuously led reform practice innovation with ideological and theoretical innovation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has scientifically summarized historical experience, profoundly grasped the laws of reform, deeply analyzed the reform situation, and creatively put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments on comprehensively deepening reform, constituting the reform chapter of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) made profound expositions on the essence of reform, the role of reform, the direction of reform, the goals of reform, the tasks of reform, the driving force of reform, and the methods of reform. He emphasized that reform must adhere to the Party's leadership; reform must adhere to a people-centered approach; reform must adhere to upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, neither taking the old road of closed rigidity nor the wrong road of changing flags and banners; reform must adhere to the overall goal of improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities; reform must adhere to problem orientation; we must adhere to economic system reform as the traction; we must promote reform on the track of the rule of law; we must combine top-level design with 摸着石头过河 (mō zhe shí tou guò hé - "feeling the stones to cross the river," to cross a river by feeling for stones with one's feet; a metaphor for cautiously feeling one's way). We must correctly handle the relationship between reform, development, and stability; and so on. These important expositions profoundly answer major theoretical and practical questions such as what banner to hold, what road to take, why comprehensively deepen reform, and how to comprehensively deepen reform in the new era. They are permeated with scientific dialectical thinking, systematic strategic layout, profound historical vision, broad global perspective, strong innovative spirit, and deep humanistic care. They have reached a new historical level in breadth, depth, and height, demonstrating powerful truth charm and practical power in guiding new practices and leading new changes, and providing fundamental guidelines for further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization.
-- Strategic Blueprint. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that the fundamental driving force for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era is still comprehensively deepening reform. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), proceeding from the overall situation of the development of the Party and the country, has incorporated comprehensively deepening reform into the "Five-Sphere Integrated Plan" and the "Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy." Closely focusing on the Party's central tasks, focusing on achieving the "Two Centenary Goals" and realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, he personally drew and continued to write the grand blueprint for comprehensively deepening reform in the new era.
The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was epoch-making. It made arrangements for economic system reform, political system reform, cultural system reform, social system reform, ecological civilization system reform, national defense and military reform, and Party building system reform. It determined the overall goals, strategic priorities, priorities, main directions, working mechanisms, promotion methods, and timetable and roadmap for comprehensively deepening reform, opening a new journey of comprehensively deepening reform and systematically designing and promoting reform in the new era. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made a decision on comprehensively advancing the rule of law, proposing a large number of reform measures of great significance to the rule of law, forming a "sister chapter" with the decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China specifically studied the issue of deepening the reform of Party and state institutions, deployed the improvement of the Party's leadership system, government governance system, armed forces system, and mass organization work system, and promoted the systematic and overall restructuring of the functions of Party and state institutions. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China specifically studied upholding and improving the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, systematically integrating the theoretical achievements, institutional achievements, and practical achievements of comprehensively deepening reform since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and outlining a clearer top-level design for comprehensively deepening reform in the new era. The Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China studied and deployed the continued deepening of institutional reform in key areas, promoting the Party's leadership over socialist modernization construction to be more scientific in institutional settings, more optimized in functional allocation, more improved in systems and mechanisms, and more efficient in operation and management. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China studied the issue of further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization, deployed more than 300 major reform measures, and provided institutional and mechanism guarantees for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. In addition to these landmark meetings, the Party Congresses and relevant Central Plenary Sessions since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China have made successive arrangements for reform, promoting the continuous deepening of reform tasks, and creating a new situation in which reform and opening up promote the Party and the country's various undertakings to achieve historic achievements and undergo historic changes.
-- People First. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that reform is meaningful for the people, and reform is motivated by relying on the people. In General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) mind, the weight of the people is the heaviest, which is vividly reflected in comprehensively deepening reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) always considers issues from the standpoint of the people, takes promoting social fairness and justice and enhancing the people's well-being as the starting point and end result of reform, and ensures that planning reform draws on the wisdom of the people, promoting reform gathers the strength of the people, and testing reform relies on the people's judgment, so that the process of comprehensively deepening reform becomes a process in which the people widely participate and universally benefit.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pays attention to finding the entry point and breakthrough point of reform from solving the most concerning, most direct, and most realistic interest issues of the masses. He adheres to doing his best and acting according to his ability. In income distribution, employment, education, medical and health care, social security, elderly care and childcare, public culture, grassroots governance, etc., he has launched a large number of hard and practical measures that are well-received, stand firm, and are recognized by the masses. For example, promoting the reform of the household registration system, realizing the urban-rural unification of household registration, comprehensively implementing the residence permit system, and basically solving the historical problem of unregistered persons; in response to the problems of expensive and difficult medical treatment that the people strongly reflect, comprehensively promoting the comprehensive reform of public hospitals, breaking the mechanism of supplementing medical expenses with drug sales, abolishing the drug and consumable markups that have been implemented for more than 60 years, improving the drug supply guarantee system, and improving the supply guarantee mechanism for shortage drugs; during the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, in response to the shortcomings and deficiencies exposed by the medical and health system, adhering to overall planning, systematic reshaping, and comprehensive improvement, focusing on improving the major epidemic prevention and control system and improving the national public health emergency management system, focusing on streamlining relations and strengthening responsibilities from the institutional and mechanism level, and effectively safeguarding the people's lives, safety, and physical health; in response to the issue of educational equity that is of widespread concern to society, comprehensively promoting the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education and urban-rural integration, optimizing the allocation of regional educational resources, strengthening the inclusive development of preschool education and special education, improving the modern vocational education system, reducing the burden of homework and off-campus training for students in the compulsory education stage, and continuously narrowing the educational gap between urban and rural areas, regions, schools, and groups; in response to the trend issues such as aging, declining birthrates, and regional population increases and decreases, adjusting and improving policies and measures such as elderly care and childbirth, focusing on "the elderly and the young" to improve the population service system, grasping the laws of population flow, promoting relevant public services to "follow people," and promoting the rational concentration and orderly flow of urban and rural populations, bringing tangible gains to the people.
-- Striving to Overcome Difficulties. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that reform is a revolution, changing the system and mechanism, moving the vested interests, and it will not work without real swords and guns. We must dare to gnaw on hard bones and wade through dangerous shoals, and point reform to where the contradictions and problems are most prominent. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has led and promoted comprehensively deepening reform with the courage of self-revolution and the determination of a strong man breaking his wrist, opening up to stubborn diseases accumulated over many years, marching towards the most difficult fortresses and the most difficult passes, resolutely breaking down the drawbacks of various systems and mechanisms, solving many difficult problems that have been wanted to be solved for a long time but have not been solved, and accomplishing many major events that have been wanted to be accomplished in the past but have not been accomplished.
In response to the deep-seated contradictions and problems that have long existed in state-owned enterprises, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), from the strategic height of consolidating the important material and political foundation for the development of the Party and the country, was determined to solve the problems from the system and mechanism, strengthen and improve the Party's leadership over state-owned enterprises, promote the optimization of the layout of the state-owned economy, improve the state-owned asset management system, strengthen supervision to prevent the loss of state-owned assets, reasonably determine and strictly regulate the remuneration of state-owned enterprise leaders, break through obstacles, do practical work, and deeply promote the fundamental strengthening of the Party's comprehensive leadership over state-owned enterprises, and the continuous improvement of the vitality, control, influence, and risk resistance capabilities of the state-owned economy. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) regards ecological civilization construction as a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, incorporates it into the "Five-Sphere Integrated Plan," starts from Party regulations and national laws, systems and mechanisms, adheres to all-round layout, systematic construction, and multi-level promotion, protects the ecological environment with the strictest system and the strictest rule of law, deploys the compilation of the Ecological Environment Code, formulates and revises the Environmental Protection Law and more than 30 ecological environment laws and regulations, and introduces the Overall Plan for Ecological Civilization System Reform, property rights and use control of natural resource assets, development and protection of territorial space, ecological protection red lines, ecological environment zoning control, ecological environment damage compensation, and other major reform plans, improves the ecological environment management system, establishes the central ecological environment protection inspection system, and carries out a series of pioneering work, making ecological civilization construction a significant symbol of the historic achievements and historic changes achieved by the Party and the country in the new era. Faced with the complex external environment of the intertwined century-old changes and the century-old epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) examines the major changes with a grand pattern and responds to the major challenges with great courage. He regards comprehensively deepening reform as an important starting point for responding to changes and opening up new situations, makes forward-looking arrangements, takes proactive actions, and deepens reforms in key areas such as promoting high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, building a modern industrial system, developing new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions, building a strong domestic market, expanding high-level opening up to the outside world, and unblocking the domestic and international dual circulation, injecting strong vitality into economic and social development.
-- Scientific Advancement. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that reform and opening up is a brand-new cause unprecedented in human history, and we must adhere to the correct methodology and advance it in continuous practical exploration. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has profoundly grasped the laws of reform, conducted in-depth investigations and research, used scientific methods to solve practical problems, adhered to the unity of reform and the rule of law, reform and opening up, adhered to the dialectical unity of breaking and establishing, and paid attention to properly handling the relationship between emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, overall advancement and key breakthroughs, top-level design and 摸着石头过河 (mō zhe shí tou guò hé - "feeling the stones to cross the river," to cross a river by feeling for stones with one's feet; a metaphor for cautiously feeling one's way), being bold and taking steady steps, and deployment and implementation, opening up a new path and new methods for scientifically and efficiently advancing reform.
Adhering to being courageous in strategy and steady in tactics, focusing on achieving the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform, coordinating the present and the long-term, proposing to achieve decisive results in reform in important areas and key links by 2020, to achieve obvious results in the more mature and well-defined system in all aspects by the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party, and to further improve the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and basically realize the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities by 2035, advancing reform step by step and with emphasis. Combining overall planning and highlighting key points organically, paying attention to giving play to the leading role of economic system reform, prioritizing the promotion of major reforms with the nature of "four beams and eight pillars" such as state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises, science and technology, land, regional, fiscal and taxation, finance, green development, and opening up to the outside world, giving play to the basic supporting role for other reforms, and selecting key issues that affect the whole body as the breakthrough point of reform, giving play to the role of leading the whole area with one point and activating the whole game. Paying attention to clarifying the logical relationship of major reforms, strengthening system integration, and launching a series of reform combination punches in key areas, grasping both program coordination and implementation coordination and effect coordination, promoting the coordinated advancement, mutual support, and comprehensive implementation of relevant reform measures, and improving the overall effectiveness of reform. Paying attention to encouraging exploration and innovation, deploying pilot projects for reforms that have been determined to achieve breakthroughs but have not yet had practical experience, encouraging differentiated exploration, clarifying both the goals, directions, and bottom-line requirements, and giving full reform autonomy, supporting local grassroots to pioneer and innovate, and continuously creating and accumulating fresh experiences that can be replicated and promoted.
-- Vigorously Grasping Implementation. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that one point of deployment and nine points of implementation. If you don't calm down and grasp implementation, no matter how good the goals or how good the blueprints are, they are just flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has taken the lead, practiced what he advocated, and always shouldered, grasped, and kept in mind the major reform tasks related to the overall situation and the important reform measures related to the vital interests of the masses. He has grasped them to the end with the spirit of nailing nails, promoted the implementation of reform and achieved results, and set an example for the entire Party.
——Vigorously implement. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that one point for deployment and nine points for implementation. If we do not calm down and focus on implementation, no matter how good the goals or blueprints are, they will only be flowers in a mirror and the moon's reflection in the water. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has taken the lead, personally practicing what he preaches. He has always shouldered, grasped, and kept in mind major reform tasks related to the overall situation and important reform measures concerning the vital interests of the people. With a 钉钉子精神 (dīng dīng zi jīng shén - "nailing spirit," perseverance and determination), he has pushed for the implementation and effectiveness of reforms, setting an example for the entire Party.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has chaired multiple meetings of the Central Comprehensively Deepening Reforms Commission (中央深改委) (formerly the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms (中央深改组)) to review reports on the implementation of important reforms and pilot tasks, arranged special meetings to study the implementation of reform work, listened to reports from special working groups, responsible departments, and leading local officials on the implementation of reforms, summarized and exchanged experiences, and deployed relevant work. He emphasized the role of reform supervision, stressing that it is necessary to supervise not only tasks, progress, and effectiveness, but also understanding, responsibility, and work style. The implementation of major reforms should be included in supervision, inspection, and巡视巡察 (xún shì xún chá - "inspection and supervision," a Party-led disciplinary inspection system) to ensure that the reform direction determined by the Party Central Committee is not deviated and the reform tasks clarified by the Party Central Committee are not left unfulfilled. He emphasized stimulating and mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of all parties in grasping the implementation of reforms, combining the work of ideological and political work with improving the orientation of personnel employment, strictly implementing the "three distinctions," improving the incentive and restraint mechanism, strictly carrying out assessment and evaluation, and promoting the formation of a clear orientation to encourage cadres to forge ahead, work hard, and start businesses. He emphasized carrying out reform publicity and guidance, timely releasing reform policies and measures, vigorously publicizing the progress and effectiveness of reforms, closely tracking hot and difficult issues of widespread social concern, strengthening authoritative interpretation, and reasonably guiding expectations, so as to create a good atmosphere for comprehensively deepening reforms.
China's reform and opening up, especially the comprehensive deepening of reforms since the new era, is unprecedented and rarely seen in the world. Looking at the whole world, no other country or political party has such political courage and historical responsibility to dare to make sweeping changes, turn the knife inward, and carry out self-revolution, nor has any other country or political party been able to promote such a wide range, such a large scale, and such a strong degree of reform in such a short period of time. This is fundamentally due to the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping (习近平) Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
The "Further Comprehensively Deepening Reforms" special topic in the fifth volume of *Xi Jinping: The Governance of China* mainly includes General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important expositions on further comprehensively deepening reforms since the Second Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, pointing out the direction, strategic focus, and scientific path for continuing to advance reforms. We must deeply study and comprehend General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) latest ideological and theoretical achievements on comprehensively deepening reforms, systematically and comprehensively understand and grasp the scientific connotation and spiritual essence of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments on comprehensively deepening reforms, and promote the great cause of comprehensively deepening reforms with a stronger spirit of historical initiative, so as to provide a strong impetus and institutional guarantee for Chinese-style modernization.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized at the recent Central Economic Work Conference: "In the face of changing international situations and various risks and challenges, we must maintain our strategic focus and unswervingly manage our own affairs well." Previously, during his inspection in Guangdong (广东), he emphasized, when discussing economic aggregate and growth rate, that "Guangdong (广东) should compare itself with itself." Comparing with oneself is not only an earnest encouragement for major economic provinces like Guangdong (广东) to be at the forefront, set an example, and shoulder heavy responsibilities, but also provides an important methodological guide for various regions to do a good job in economic work according to local conditions.
"Comparing" is to accurately identify advantages and discover shortcomings through comparison. To compare with oneself, there should be more "vertical comparison," clarifying one's own positioning and development direction in the historical context, thereby adding a bit of the confidence and assurance of 风物长宜放眼量 (fēng wù cháng yí fàng yǎn liàng - "scenery long should put eyes measure," take a broad and long-term view); avoid blindly "horizontal comparison," not losing confidence due to temporary shortcomings, and not being complacent with temporary achievements. For example, Guangdong (广东) Province's gross regional product has ranked first in the country for 36 consecutive years. To more accurately assess the effectiveness of economic development and clarify its responsibilities in the overall national situation, it is necessary to compare more with oneself, with one's own historical data, and with one's own development goals.
To compare with oneself, from a methodological perspective, the first thing is to firmly grasp the strategic positioning in the overall national development, plan for a part from the perspective of the whole, and serve the whole with a part. Adhere to proceeding from reality, focus on one's own resource endowments, leverage comparative advantages, and achieve precise breakthroughs. As an old industrial base, Liaoning (辽宁) relies on its solid industrial foundation and complete industrial system to promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, and accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries; Qinghai (青海) focuses on gathering resource elements, continuously cultivating a modern industrial system that reflects local characteristics and advantages, accelerating the construction of a world-class salt lake industrial base, and continuously building a national clean energy industry highland; and so on. These examples vividly show that finding a "small incision" that conforms to one's own reality in comparison with oneself, and adapting to local conditions based on factors such as the region's industrial base, geographical location, and ecological characteristics, can write a good "big article" on economic development.
To compare with oneself, its important connotation is to concentrate on managing one's own affairs well and solving the problems encountered in one's own development process. At present, China's (中国) development is in a period where strategic opportunities and risks and challenges coexist, and uncertain and unpredictable factors are increasing, and economic and social development faces many new problems that urgently need to be answered. For example, how can economically developed provinces achieve coordinated urban-rural and regional development; how can central and western provinces retain and make good use of talents... There are no ready-made answers to solving these problems. One must take one's own development situation as the basis for analyzing problems, summarizing experiences, and proposing solutions, and find ideas and methods for tackling difficulties in comparison with oneself.
Of course, comparing with oneself does not mean not comparing with others. Finding one's own shortcomings and deficiencies in comparison with others can stimulate the awareness and action of learning from others' strengths and making up for one's own weaknesses. In reality, some regions are following the path of reasonable industrial division of labor and coordinated regional development; some regions are using new technologies to transform and upgrade traditional industries, giving traditional industries a new lease of life... These are all good experiences and good practices worth learning from. It is also necessary to compare confidence and motivation with others, and compare who has the courage to be at the forefront, who has the responsibility to shoulder heavy burdens, and who has the perseverance to never admit defeat.
"He who overcomes others is powerful, he who overcomes himself is strong." To compare with oneself, the deep meaning is the sober consciousness of maintaining strategic focus, the scientific attitude of adapting to local conditions, and the pragmatic responsibility of focusing on high-quality development. To do a good job in economic work according to local conditions, it is advisable to compare more with oneself, neither trapped in the anxiety of "horizontal comparison" nor falling into the misunderstanding of "reinventing the wheel," accurately identifying one's own positioning, clarifying advantages, discovering shortcomings, moving forward steadily, consolidating the foundation for development, and striving to create a new situation in the construction of Chinese-style modernization.

The ideals and beliefs of young people are related to the development of the country and the future of the nation. When young people have lofty ideals and firm beliefs, the country and the nation will have the driving force to overcome all difficulties and be invincible. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "If ideals and beliefs waver, the worldview, outlook on life, and values will undergo a complete transformation, and no matter how great the ability, they will not be able to shoulder the great task of national rejuvenation." The "Suggestions of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" adopted by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee made important arrangements for "strengthening the education of ideals and beliefs for young people." We must thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important expositions on youth work and the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, and strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs for young people.
Young college students are one of the most dynamic and creative groups in society, and they are the well-deserved new force and successors of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. With the tide of the times surging forward, the technological revolution accelerating, the social structure undergoing profound adjustments, and values being diversified, young college students today are showing new changes and characteristics in terms of their growth environment, cognitive methods, and spiritual pursuits. As an important front for educating and cultivating young talents, universities should deeply understand the new changes and characteristics of young people's learning and lifestyles, strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs for young college students in a targeted manner, and cultivate more new people of the era who have ideals, dare to take responsibility, can endure hardship, and are willing to struggle, and who are willing to contribute to Chinese-style modernization.
Strengthen value guidance and nourish the source of ideals and beliefs through theoretical learning. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The firmness of ideals and beliefs comes from the firmness of ideological theory. Recognizing the truth, mastering the truth, believing in the truth, and defending the truth are the spiritual prerequisites for firm ideals and beliefs." Only by establishing ideals and beliefs on the rational recognition of the Party's scientific theory can we remain loyal and unwavering to lofty ideals and beliefs under any circumstances. Young college students are growing up in the context of the accelerated evolution of the world's unprecedented changes in a century. On the one hand, they are born in the best period of the development of the Chinese nation and have the confidence and confidence to "look at the world equally"; on the other hand, they have witnessed the intensification of international competition and the profound changes in the development pattern, and their sense of uncertainty about the future has increased. The particularity of the times makes them open and confident, and have the world in mind, but they are also prone to anxiety, depression and other negative emotions in the face of setbacks. Some young college students even feel that their ideals are slim when there is a contradiction between ideals and reality. It is necessary to strengthen value guidance, guide young college students to use Xi Jinping (习近平) Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to strengthen their souls, arm themselves with the Party's scientific theory, inspire themselves with the Party's original aspiration and mission, and shape themselves with the Party's fine style, so as to consolidate the ideological foundation for closely following the Party's path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Use the power of truth to help students distinguish right from wrong, guide them to comprehensively and objectively understand the opportunities and challenges in the process of the Party and the country's development, rationally view the favorable and adverse circumstances in the process of personal development, and firmly establish the great ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Connect inside and outside the classroom to run the "Great Ideological and Political Course" well, guide young college students to integrate knowledge and action, and strengthen their ideals and beliefs and bravely shoulder social responsibilities in practice.
Promote the construction of campus culture and actively create a cultural atmosphere of adhering to ideals and beliefs. Contemporary young college students are growing up in an era of national prosperity and material abundance. They are a generation with a wide range of interests, active thinking, and keen on exploration. They have a strong desire to realize personal value and have higher expectations for university life. Their demands for the learning environment extend to the deep-seated need of "whether they can place their personality and emotions"; they like to build "circles" with interests, concepts, and actions, and pursue "precise co-frequency" social interaction; they also aspire to become participants and creators of campus cultural life. At the same time, the cyberspace has become a new field for the growth of young college students and the main battlefield for value shaping, which not only expands the breadth and depth of their integration into society, but also easily causes emotional opposition and value tearing. In the face of the new demands and new situations of young college students' growth, we must build a growth community with cultural depth and emotional temperature with heart and soul, and create a cultural field that immerses the mind and cultivates morality. Carefully promote the construction of campus culture, cultivate cultural heritage with excellent traditional Chinese culture, cultivate red genes with revolutionary culture, strengthen value guidance with advanced socialist culture, and actively create a cultural atmosphere of adhering to ideals and firm beliefs. Build a comprehensive and efficient network education platform system, optimize the construction of campus network culture in response to problems such as network weakening social interaction and affecting cognition, provide high-quality content that accurately matches the needs of young college students, and enable high-quality content to play a leading role in a broader digital ecology.
Strengthen psychological counseling and humanistic care, and actively empower young people's growth. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Pressure is the driving force for young people's growth, and pulling and helping young people at the key and critical moments of their growth may be an important support for young people to overcome pressure and develop into talents." China's economy has continued to develop steadily, and young college students have not only benefited from the improvement of material living standards brought about by this, but also face the intense competitive pressure that comes with it. Many of the confusions they face are new topics that the previous generation could hardly imagine. For example, traditional industries are shrinking in the process of transformation, and emerging occupations are emerging like a tide and iterating rapidly... In the face of the rapid development of society and the mutual collision of various thoughts and cultures, some young college students are extremely prone to confusion. For these new problems, we should not respond passively, but should actively empower young people psychologically and in terms of ability. Strengthening psychological counseling focuses on 防患于未然 (fáng huàn yú wèi rán - "prevent problems before they arise," to take preventive measures), such as building a support network in advance, actively carrying out psychological screening, and responding to growth confusions in a timely manner, so as to eradicate the root causes of problems and build a "flood control dam" for students' psychology, so as to strengthen their ideals and beliefs. Strengthening humanistic care, promoting the concept of positive psychology among young college students, enhancing their ability to self-regulate their psychology, and at the same time giving full play to the connecting and interactive role of the Communist Youth League, student associations, and student organizations, helping young people to obtain peer mutual assistance, accept model driving, cultivate a self-esteem, self-confidence, rational, peaceful, and positive attitude, and guide young college students to establish a correct worldview, outlook on life, and values, and cultivate a noble sentiment of serving the motherland and serving the society.

On December 16th, Beijing (北京), before the opening of the "Qin Sound · Harmony" themed evening party at the Mei Lanfang Grand Theater (梅兰芳大剧院).
Suddenly, the clear and melodious sound of the banhu (a Chinese bowed string instrument) came from a corner. Immediately afterward, performer Xue Tianxin (薛天信) roared out a Qin腔 (Qinqiang) opera line with precise pronunciation, carrying the ruggedness of the Northwest land and the vicissitudes after years of precipitation, directly impacting everyone's heart.
Grandpa Zhang (张大爷), who had made a special trip from Fangshan District (房山区), Beijing (北京), upon hearing this sound, hurried towards the source of the sound, shouting at the top of his voice, "This Qinqiang opera is so exciting!"
The audience waiting to enter were also attracted by this singing and gathered around. Some hummed along softly, while others sang out loud. Before the main show even started, the theater lobby had already transformed into a temporary "stage," igniting the audience's enthusiasm.
Qinqiang opera, an ancient art form originating from Shaanxi (陕西) and Gansu (甘肃) provinces, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Northwest region with its high-pitched, passionate, desolate, and heroic singing style. It is the loud voice of the fields, market fairs, and temple festivals, and an indispensable spiritual feast in annual celebrations.
In the past, the prelude to the classic play "Three Drops of Blood" (三滴血), "Hancheng County (韩城县), Shaanxi (陕西) is my ancestral home," could lead "30 million sons and daughters to roar Qinqiang opera together." Now, the Qinqiang opera version of "Up the Spring Mountain" has quickly garnered over ten thousand likes and comments upon its release, with over 100 million views in half a year.
As one of the main singers of the Qinqiang opera version of "Up the Spring Mountain," Lü Jiangtao (吕江涛), a young actor from the Shaanxi Academy of Traditional Opera (陕西省戏曲研究院), has gained tens of thousands of "fans" with his outstanding performance, becoming a somewhat famous opera "internet celebrity."
Seeing more and more young people liking Qinqiang opera, Lü Jiangtao (吕江涛) and his colleagues in the troupe are greatly encouraged and actively starting their own Qinqiang opera promotion plan. They continuously update performance videos on their social media accounts, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes; they regularly go to primary and secondary schools, using opera character images and stories that children love to popularize opera knowledge.
Qinqiang opera is not only a traditional art and a way of life, but also a mission inheritance carrying history and culture.
On December 10th, the Yisushe Theater (易俗社剧场) in Xi'an (西安), Shaanxi (陕西). On the stage, the red silk was slowly unveiled, revealing two cameras. The Qinqiang opera "Three Drops of Blood" (三滴血), which has been sung for hundreds of years, ushered in a new artistic presentation at this moment - the micro-drama "Three Drops of Blood" (三滴血) officially started filming.
Previously, the first Qinqiang opera micro-drama "Flame Colt" (火焰驹) created by the Sanyi Society (三意社) in Xi'an (西安) triggered a heated discussion about the development of traditional opera.
Some questioned: "A singing section is only 30 seconds long, the actors don't wear facial makeup, and the dialogue is in Mandarin. Where is the flavor of Qinqiang opera?"
Some agreed: "This fast-paced narrative method has both opera charm and fits modern aesthetics, in line with the viewing habits of the new media era."
Liu Gebing (刘戈兵), the music director of the drama, admitted frankly that the crew was prepared to be judged by opera fans from the beginning of the creation: "Because this is an unprecedented attempt, there will definitely be different voices."
Surprisingly, in just a few days, this micro-drama has garnered about 30 million views. This allowed the main creative team to see the audience's tolerance and acceptance of traditional opera innovation and cross-overs, and further strengthened the main creative team's determination to open up a "young-style communication path" for opera inheritance.
"Renewing classic works in the form of micro-dramas is not only a bold attempt to transform traditional cultural IP, but also a breakthrough in the younger audience of opera," said Hui Minli (惠敏莉), president of the Xi'an Yisushe (西安易俗社). "This also requires us to adhere to the cultural core, and while conforming to the communication rules of micro-dramas and being close to the aesthetic of young audiences, we must guard the 'soul' of Qinqiang opera."
Only with rooted inheritance can there be the confidence to innovate. Today, the ancient Qinqiang opera is constantly "breaking the circle" in multi-dimensional innovation, exuding new vitality.
From short videos and live broadcasts to micro-dramas, more and more Qinqiang opera actors and troupes are settling in short video platforms, breaking the space-time constraints of offline performances, allowing people to enjoy Qinqiang opera performances anytime and anywhere. Live broadcast programs of Qinqiang opera artists performing and interacting on the spot allow many young audiences to deeply understand and like Qinqiang opera through close exchanges; short dramas that condense the essence of opera art in two or three minutes realize the creative transformation of traditional art through digital media, providing a "young-style" new sample for opera culture communication.

Recently, a heartwarming scene unfolded on a snack street in Fuzhou (福州), Fujian (福建) Province: a pancake vendor suddenly fell ill and was in distress. The "neighbors" from the stalls on either side of him replaced their own payment QR codes with his, spontaneously agreeing to donate their day's earnings to help him overcome his difficulties.
One stall "in trouble," an entire street "lending a hand," this agreement attracted even more people to join in. After learning about the kindness of the snack street vendors through social media platforms, many people made a special trip to patronize their businesses. For a time, long queues formed at many stalls on the snack street. "Today, we're not just here to eat" became a warm current in the winter.
Just recently, the "Chinese Characters Review 2025" annual domestic character was revealed—the character "韧" (rèn, resilience) was selected. "韧" (rèn, resilience) is not only a personal quality of "坚韧不拔 (jiān rèn bù bá - "firm and indomitable," unwavering perseverance), firm will, and unyielding spirit." The story of this snack street in Fujian (福建) reflects China's "韧" (rèn, resilience) even more. This is a friendly and harmonious warm practice in social life, rooted in the traditional virtue of "守望相助 (shǒu wàng xiāng zhù - "keep watch and help each other," mutual help and support) " in the excellent traditional Chinese culture of thousands of years; it is the spirit of "自强不息 (zì qiáng bù xī - "constantly strive to become stronger," continuous self-improvement)" passed down from generation to generation, encouraging people to rise up in adversity and move forward in the face of challenges; it is also a vivid embodiment of the socialist core values deeply nourishing people's daily lives.
This resilient force is constantly growing in transmission and relay. Rewinding to last year, a similar long queue of hundreds of meters formed in front of the "Zhejiang (浙江) Guokui" stall next to Fujian University of Technology (福建理工大学). The stall owner, Hu Weiguang (胡伟光), had a seriously ill wife, and it was the loving relay of Fuzhou (福州) citizens "buying pancakes to help people" that helped him overcome his difficulties. Now, upon hearing about the plight of the pancake vendor, Hu Weiguang (胡伟光) did not hesitate to donate money. From recipient to benefactor, kindness has completed a warm transmission, and also let us see the "resilience" of life - this is the fire rising from the pancake oven, the silent agreement behind the QR code, and even more a spiritual depiction of the times.
The temperature of a small street reflects the strength of the character "韧" (rèn, resilience). This resilience allows people to gain the strength to continue moving forward in "human affection, fully embodied here."

"Although we have never seen your face or known your name, the four words 'Shun Qi Zi Ran' have long become the warmest and most steadfast echo in our hearts..." Recently, seven special letters of gratitude were sent to the Ningbo Charity Federation (宁波市慈善总会) in Zhejiang Province (浙江省), with each word sincere and overflowing with gratitude.
The letters were written by a group of students from the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (凉山彝族自治州) in Sichuan Province (四川省) studying at Ningbo Institute of Economics and Trade (宁波经贸学校). The recipient was the mysterious philanthropist who has warmed Ningbo (宁波) for 27 years – "Shun Qi Zi Ran (顺其自然)." Since 1999, "Shun Qi Zi Ran" has donated to the Ningbo Charity Federation (宁波市慈善总会) every year, continuing for 27 times with a total donation of 17.96 million yuan. In accordance with their wishes, the donations are earmarked for the field of education. This group of Liangshan (凉山) students is one of the beneficiaries of the donations.
In 2021, Ningbo (宁波) in Zhejiang (浙江) and Liangshan (凉山) in Sichuan (四川) launched a new round of East-West collaboration. As a pairing assistance project between Yinzhou District (鄞州区) in Ningbo (宁波) and Yanyuan County (盐源县) in Liangshan (凉山), the Liangshan Class of Ningbo Institute of Economics and Trade (宁波经贸学校凉山班) came into being. When Liangshan (凉山) students come to Ningbo (宁波) to study, the assistance funds from relevant policies can cover tuition and basic daily expenses, while the donations from "Shun Qi Zi Ran" are used to provide targeted assistance to students from families in difficulty, providing them with a living allowance of 300 yuan per month.
In the eyes of these Liangshan (凉山) students, the assistance from "Shun Qi Zi Ran" "is a meat dish in the cafeteria, the confidence to buy professional reference books, and the determination to persevere when staying up late to rush homework, knowing that someone is silently supporting us..." Student Yang Xiaozhen (杨晓珍) confided in her letter.
As of now, of the 17.96 million yuan donated by "Shun Qi Zi Ran" cumulatively, 16,401,800 yuan has been put into use, of which 291,600 yuan has been used to provide targeted assistance to 81 Liangshan (凉山) students at Ningbo Institute of Economics and Trade (宁波经贸学校).

"Now that we have 'Enterprise Tranquility Week,' we can arrange production more focused and with better planning," said Guo Kaishun (郭开顺), the head of a supply chain enterprise in Jiayuguan (嘉峪关) City, Gansu (甘肃) Province, pointing to the transportation plan in his hand. Jiayuguan (嘉峪关) City has decided to establish an "Enterprise Quiet Production Period" from January 1, 2026, designating the 10th to 16th of each month as "Enterprise Tranquility Week."
"Enterprise Tranquility Week" refers to a specific period during which, in principle, on-site administrative inspections of enterprises are not conducted. Except for situations involving national security, public safety, ecological environment, food and drug safety, work safety, sudden public health incidents, complaints and reports, and case investigations, all administrative law enforcement units in the city will, in principle, not conduct on-site inspections of enterprises. This measure aims to allow enterprises to concentrate on production and promote business operations. At the same time, it encourages law enforcement units to use technical means, such as remote monitoring, online monitoring, mobile law enforcement, and early warning prompts, to implement non-on-site intelligent supervision, and promote the transformation of supervision methods towards digitization and precision.
"This is not relaxing supervision, but promoting the transformation of supervision," said Niu Xinling (牛心灵), Deputy Chief of the Administrative Law Enforcement Coordination and Supervision Section of the Jiayuguan (嘉峪关) City Justice Bureau, adding that the establishment of this system will promote the transformation of law enforcement models towards "data empowerment," both holding the line and reducing interference, so that enterprises can truly feel that "supervision has warmth and service has attitude," and create a stable, fair, relaxed, and transparent business environment.

As policies promoting the trade-in of old consumer goods continue to take effect, the recycling and disposal of discarded appliances and furniture are attracting increasing attention.
In Panyu District (番禺区), Guangzhou (广州) City, Guangdong (广东) Province, at a recyclable collection point in the super-large community of Clifford Estates (祈福新村), residents frequently bring waste cardboard, plastics, and discarded appliances for paid recycling. This is one of the three new collection points launched in the community at the beginning of this year. The affiliated enterprise was jointly introduced by local departments, forming a model of "enterprise stationed operation - property providing venues - community regular publicity." In Baiyun District (白云区), Guangzhou (广州), there are already more than 120 collection points for discarded furniture. Residents can transport their discarded furniture to the collection points themselves, or they can make an appointment for door-to-door removal through online platforms.
In addition to the abundance of offline outlets, the "Internet+" recycling model is being integrated into residents' daily lives.
At 10 a.m., Ms. Huang (黄女士), who lives in Jianshe Street (建设街), Guangzhou (广州), greeted the staff of "Sui Recycling" (穗回收) at the door. "Sui Recycling" (穗回收) is a recycling platform launched by an enterprise affiliated with the Guangzhou Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative (广州市供销合作总社). Ms. Huang (黄女士) had scheduled the recycling of old furniture two days prior. In less than 10 minutes, the sofa was simply disassembled and moved out of the community.
In recent years, the "reverse recycling" model constructed by production enterprises and distribution and sales platforms has also become increasingly popular, providing residents with convenient options for trading in old items for new ones.
Many regions are strengthening the supervision of the recycling and disposal of discarded appliances and furniture, promoting the more standardized disposal of discarded appliances and furniture. According to data from the All China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives (全国供销合作总社), in 2024, the number of waste appliances dismantled in a standardized manner in China increased by 20% year-on-year. Xu Lin (徐林), a professor at the School of Public Affairs of Zhejiang University (浙江大学), said that more social forces should be encouraged to participate in the recycling industry, and precise tax reduction standards should be formulated based on the actual development of enterprises, while increasing financial and technical subsidies. Relevant departments also need to strengthen supervision simultaneously, especially to prevent secondary pollution that may occur in the dismantling and reuse stages, to achieve a win-win situation for economic and ecological benefits.

The National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委) on the 19th reminded that the new version of the "National Food Safety Standard for Nutrition Labeling of Prepackaged Foods" lists "saturated fat" and "sugar" as mandatory labeling items. This standard will officially come into effect on March 16, 2027, and companies are encouraged to implement it in advance before this date.
Nutrition labels are an important tool for consumers to understand food nutrition and make scientific choices. Paying attention to the content of fat, saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in the nutrition facts table is the first step in controlling "hidden" health risks. It is also necessary to learn how to understand the percentage of nutrient reference values and master the health "measuring stick." It is reported that the percentage of nutrient reference value indicates the proportion of a nutrient in a serving of food to the recommended daily intake. For example, if the nutrient reference value percentage of sodium in a food is 30%, it means that eating one serving has already consumed 30% of the recommended daily sodium intake.

The Central Economic Work Conference has laid out eight key tasks for next year's economic work, focusing on addressing the "people's livelihood questionnaire." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "After winning the battle against poverty, there is a transition period. This year it was completed, but completion does not mean the task is cancelled. We must still prioritize 'agriculture, rural areas, and farmers' and focus on consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation and connecting them with rural revitalization."
Developing assistance industries is an important foundation for enhancing the endogenous development momentum of poverty-stricken areas and people lifted out of poverty, continuously improving their ability to increase income and become prosperous. It is a strong support for consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation and connecting and promoting rural revitalization. The "Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Learning from and Applying the Experience of the 'Thousand Villages Demonstration, Ten Thousand Villages Renovation' Project to Vigorously and Effectively Promote the Comprehensive Revitalization of Rural Areas" proposes to strengthen the classified guidance of assistance industries, consolidate a batch, upgrade a batch, revitalize a batch, and adjust a batch, to promote industrial quality improvement, efficiency enhancement, and sustainable development.
This year is the last year of China's five-year transition period for consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation and effectively connecting with rural revitalization. From the transition period to normalization, how can the "four batches" of assistance industries have more staying power? Recently, reporters visited four villages with questions to explore the development of assistance industries.

Xinzhai Village (新寨村), Longyang District (隆阳区), Baoshan City (保山市), Yunnan Province
With good market benefits, relatively complete chains, and broad development prospects, how to create a regional public brand?
By Li Maoying (李茂颖) and Ye Chuanzeng (叶传增), reporters of this newspaper
Consolidate a batch
Xinzhai Village (新寨村), Longyang District (隆阳区), Baoshan City (保山市), Yunnan Province, is located at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain (高黎贡山). This village, located in the Lujiang坝 (潞江坝) River Valley, has an average annual temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, no frost throughout the year, and long sunshine hours, creating unique climatic conditions that have nurtured the golden planting belt of Yunnan's small-grain coffee.
Entering December, Xinzhai Village (新寨村) welcomes the coffee harvest season. Plump coffee fruits hang from the branches, and coffee farmers are busy harvesting in the forest.
"Coffee beans are our village's gold beans." Looking at the coffee forests all over the mountains, Wang Jiawei (王加维), Secretary of the General Party Branch of Xinzhai Village (新寨村), couldn't help but recall the scene when he first returned to the village in 2012: the purchase price of green coffee beans fell year after year, and it cost 1 yuan to pick 1 jin of fresh fruit. "Many people didn't want to plant it anymore and wanted to cut down the trees for firewood."
There are more coffee shops in the city, but coffee farmers are losing money. What's the problem? Wang Jiawei (王加维) and the village cadres pondered together: market conditions fluctuate greatly, and small farmers have weak risk resistance; decentralized operations lead to unstable quality, and the rough processing model causes most of the profits to flow to the roasting and branding ends. "Change our thinking, we must change from relying on the weather to relying on technology." Wang Jiawei (王加维) said.
The village's General Party Branch took the lead in establishing 7 cooperatives to uniformly manage the management, picking, and sales links, and explore large-scale and standardized planting. In 2017, the village introduced the first coffee experience hall, which leveraged the transformation of the entire industry chain and also put forward higher requirements for planting. Increase the frequency of management, pick all red fruits, promote smart agriculture... "We have been planting coffee for decades, and we still have to invest so much. Can the cost be recovered?" Some villagers have doubts.
Wang Jiawei (王加维) led six or seven coffee farmers to take the lead in trial planting. Through the "order agriculture" model, standardized planting was promoted, and with strict quality control, the harvested green coffee beans were sold for about 60 yuan per kilogram. Having tasted the "sweetness" of specialty coffee, Xinzhai Village's (新寨村) coffee industry embarked on a fast track.
In 2022, Baoshan City (保山市) planned to build the Yunnan Baoshan Small-Grain Coffee Industrial Park (云南保山小粒咖啡产业园), and gradually built a full-chain coffee production and processing system. Xinzhai Village (新寨村) closely relies on the "Baoshan Small-Grain Coffee" (保山小粒咖啡) regional public brand, not only becoming an important raw material base for many coffee companies, but also building coffee primary processing and deep processing plants under the promotion of the East-West cooperation mechanism, continuously improving the added value of the coffee industry.
In 2024, the coffee bean output of Xinzhai Village (新寨村) reached 4,300 tons, achieving an agricultural output value of 170 million yuan, receiving more than 210,000 tourists, and the per capita disposable income of villagers exceeded 40,000 yuan. "Our village's 'coffee position' has improved again." Wang Jiawei (王加维) said.
Citangxia Village (祠堂下村), Huichang County (会昌县), Jiangxi Province
With resource support, a foundation for development, and benefits to be improved, how to strengthen, supplement, and extend the chain?
By Yang Yanfei (杨颜菲), reporter of this newspaper
Upgrade a batch
Just after the winter solstice, in Citangxia Village (祠堂下村), Huichang County (会昌县), Jiangxi Province, in the industrial park of Jinwangda Forestry and Animal Husbandry Development Co., Ltd. (金旺达林牧发展有限公司), cattle are chewing fodder in standardized cowsheds; not far away, a transport truck loaded with more than 20 cattle will depart for Fujian; in the organic fertilizer plant next to it, the machines are rumbling.
"In the past, the village sporadically planted navel oranges and oil tea, and raised a few pigs, some fish, and a few cattle." Huang Jianyou (黄检有), Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Citangxia Village (祠堂下村), recalled. In order to find the right direction for development, the village's "two committees" team conducted multiple investigations and finally set their sights on beef cattle breeding - Citangxia Village (祠堂下村) is adjacent to the Huishan Line (会杉线) of the provincial highway and is only 15 kilometers away from the county seat. The land is rich in selenium and has both transportation and resource advantages. In 2014, Zhu Jinhai (朱金海), a villager who started a business outside, returned to his hometown and took the lead in establishing Jinwangda Forestry and Animal Husbandry Development Co., Ltd. (金旺达林牧发展有限公司), planting selenium-rich pasture and introducing more than 10 breeding equipment.
In 2022, as one of the 7 implementation counties of the Gan Central and Southern Beef Cattle Industrial Cluster Project (赣中南肉牛产业集群项目), Huichang County (会昌县) organically combined industrial revitalization funds and project funds to promote the development of the entire beef cattle production, processing, and sales industry chain. Zhu Jinhai's (朱金海) farm took advantage of the policy and built a selenium-rich straw storage warehouse and a feed processing workshop, converting the village's rapeseed stalks, oil tea by-products, etc. into silage feed.
To strengthen the industry and enrich the villagers, Jinwangda (金旺达) promoted the "leading enterprise + cooperative + base + farmer" model, "linking" more than 200 farmers into the industrial system: farmers transferred land to plant pasture, increasing their income by 800 yuan per mu per year; they worked in the cattle farm or organic fertilizer plant, with monthly wages exceeding 3,000 yuan; some farmers also entrusted beef cattle to the base and participated in profit sharing at the end of the year. Nearly 100 people in the village have achieved stable employment, and farmers' per capita annual income has increased by more than 5,000 yuan.
Cattle manure is also a treasure. In 2024, Jinwangda (金旺达) cooperated with Jiangxi Wojiate Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (江西沃佳泰生物科技有限公司) to build an organic fertilizer plant with an annual output of 30,000 tons, processing cattle manure into organic fertilizer and supplying it to selenium-rich pasture bases and surrounding navel orange and oil tea forests.
In Citangxia Village (祠堂下村), cattle raising is no longer a scattered sideline: standardized cowsheds cover an area of more than 20,000 square meters, with an annual output of more than 3,000 heads and operating income of more than 60 million yuan. The village, which was once困于 **产业散、增收难** (kùn yú chǎn yè sàn, zēng shōu nán - "困于产业散、增收难," trapped by scattered industries and difficulty in increasing income), now relies on a cow to "lead" an industrial chain.
In Huichang County (会昌县), the Gannan Beef Cattle Industry Comprehensive Service Market (赣南肉牛产业综合服务市场), the Beef Cattle Breeding Big Data Management Platform (肉牛养殖大数据管理平台), the "North Cattle South Transport" Trading Center ("北牛南运"交易中心), and a feed factory with an annual output of 120,000 tons provide pre-production, mid-production, and post-production services for breeders. From 2022 to 2025, Huichang County (会昌县) has invested a total of 835 million yuan to promote the integrated development of the beef cattle industry; in 2025, the comprehensive output value of the entire beef cattle industry chain has reached 3.86 billion yuan, becoming Huichang's (会昌) primary agricultural industry and a pillar industry for enriching the people.
Murong Village (牟荣村), Xiji County (西吉县), Ningxia
Shutdown and idle, how to innovate project operation models and promote asset revitalization and appreciation?
By Jiao Siyu (焦思雨), reporter of this newspaper
Revitalize a batch
In the depths of winter, the snow in Xiji County (西吉县), Guyuan City (固原市), Ningxia has not yet melted. In the mushroom stick production base of Murong Village (牟荣村), Jiangtaibao Town (将台堡镇), villagers are working intensively to purchase raw materials, repair equipment, and tidy up the site to prepare for the mushroom stick production in the spring.
"This place was originally a poverty alleviation workshop built in 2019. At first, we ran a lantern factory, but soon we encountered the COVID-19 epidemic, and orders plummeted, so the factory had to stop work." Zhang Guo (张国), Secretary of the Party Branch of Murong Village (牟荣村), recalled. Since then, the village has repeatedly tried industrial transformation, introducing projects such as primary processing of agricultural products, but either restricted by technical thresholds or困于 **市场销路狭窄** (kùn yú shì chǎng xiāo lù xiá zhǎi - "困于市场销路狭窄," trapped by narrow market channels), the workshop has always been in a state of opening and stopping.
"It's a pity that the good assets are idle, which cannot bring income to the village collective, nor can it drive villagers to increase their income. We are all very anxious, and revitalizing the workshop has become a major concern for the village's 'two committees' team." Zhang Guo (张国) said.
The turning point began with a change in thinking. "We realized that relying on our own strength is limited, and we must break out of the limitations of independent operation. We finally decided to activate assets by 'borrowing external forces' through investment promotion and cooperation." Zhang Guo (张国) said.
In 2024, Xiji County Ruixun Edible Fungus Company (西吉县瑞蕈食用菌公司) leased the entire workshop for a rent of 100,000 yuan per year. Professional enterprises brought funds and technology, completely transforming the 800-square-meter factory building and building a modern industrial base integrating strain research and development, mushroom stick production, mushroom cultivation, and mushroom harvesting, storage, and sales. The base has an annual production capacity of more than 6 million mushroom sticks and an annual output value of more than 14 million yuan.
The base twists the scattered forces into a rope. The enterprise is responsible for the core strain research and development and mushroom stick production, providing full technical guidance; the village collective integrates land, labor, and other resources; and farmers participate in mushroom cultivation in the form of "separate household management."
Murong Village (牟荣村) has channels for employment. The production base provides hundreds of jobs, and the average annual income of villagers reaches more than 45,000 yuan. In addition to fixed rent, the village collective also obtains a share through participating in the division of labor in the industrial chain, with an annual income of 230,000 yuan.
This model has also driven the development of 7 surrounding villages. Each village has used idle open spaces, abandoned courtyards, and even inefficiently operated solar greenhouses to cultivate edible fungi. "We do it ourselves, lacking technology and lacking markets, and we have no confidence. Now the company provides standard mushroom sticks, and technicians come to the door to provide guidance and purchase at a guaranteed price. We only need to grow mushrooms with peace of mind!" A villager busy in the greenhouse said with a smile.
From "independent operation" to "professional investment promotion," from "revitalizing a little" to "driving a whole area." The small mushroom sticks in Murong Village (牟荣村) not only activated an idle workshop but also broadened the path to comprehensive rural revitalization.
Lemei Village (乐妹村), Dongfang City (东方市), Hainan
What is the secret to starting over after exiting projects that are difficult to sustain?

The village hidden in the mountains and forests now has the fragrance of orchids. In Lemei Village (乐妹村), Datian Town (大田镇), Dongfang City (东方市), Hainan, the sea of flowers in the planting base and the potted plants in front of and behind the houses make tourists slow down and stop to admire.
"In developing poverty alleviation industries, we have explored and taken detours." Fu Changjun (符昌俊), the post-90s Secretary of the Village Party Branch, talked about the past life: villagers lived in dilapidated tile houses and drank well water. Only a dozen households in the entire village had toilets. Ten years ago, Hainan University (海南大学) began to provide fixed-point assistance to Lemei Village (乐妹村). Wang Lianchun (王联春), the then first secretary stationed in the village, worked hard on the living environment by renovating dilapidated houses and building toilets, and also began to ponder the development of poverty alleviation industries. Hearing that raising black goats was profitable and could turn straw into treasure, the village agreed and took over the demonstration project in 2016.
"Unexpectedly, the technology couldn't keep up, and the black goats were not raised well. After a year of hard work, the breeding goats produced few cubs, and the more they were raised, the more losses they suffered." Fu Changjun (符昌俊) said that poor management and market fluctuations made this industry unsustainable in Lemei Village (乐妹村).
The poverty alleviation industry could not be started, and everyone lost their energy for a while. "If you fall in technology and the market, you have to get up where you fell." Wang Lianchun (王联春) and the village cadres decided that they still had to adapt to local conditions by looking at enterprises and exploring sales channels. Taking advantage of the tropical climate and the technical support of Hainan University (海南大学), the village developed the autumn dendrobium orchid planting industry. "We have contacted purchasers in Guangdong in advance to understand their needs. With a market, the income and dividends of the villagers can be guaranteed." Wang Lianchun (王联春) said.
Black goats were not raised well, and orchids had never been seen before. When the new idea of planting orchids came out, almost all the villagers disagreed. Bearing great pressure, Wang Lianchun (王联春) led the party members in the village to build greenhouses and repair machine rooms, and Fu Changjun (符昌俊) also went door-to-door to do work.
The cadres were attentive, and the villagers saw it in their eyes. In 2018, the first phase of the orchid planting greenhouse was completed, and villagers began to sign up to learn technology. After the cooperative was established, orchids were sold to Guangdong, Yunnan, and other places, and some were even exported to Singapore and other countries. Participating farmers can receive thousands of yuan in dividends each year.
Starting in 2022, using part of the income from the village collective economy, Lemei Village (乐妹村) transformed the idle sheep sheds into conference rooms, established a research and study base, and also set up Li brocade and Li pottery intangible cultural heritage inheritance workshops and homestays. "The research and study base has received more than 70 training activities of various types, trained more than 6,000 people, and received more than 100,000 tourists." Lu Ping (卢萍), General Manager of Lemei Orchid Industrial Park Research and Study Base, said.
Lemei Village (乐妹村), which once had a poverty rate as high as 83%, has developed a "beautiful industry" with sales exceeding 15 million yuan and cumulative collective dividends exceeding 2.78 million yuan. The first secretary stationed in the village also continues to work one after another. "To develop poverty alleviation industries, you must understand technology, explore the market, and have drive and skill." Tang Duanguang (唐端光), the current first secretary stationed in the village, said.

In the final year of the transition period, some formerly impoverished households worry whether the assistance policies will "hit the brakes." With the change of stage, will there be changes in the assistance policies?
This concern has been addressed again. The Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that we should continue to consolidate and expand the achievements in poverty alleviation, incorporate regular assistance into the overall implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, and firmly guard the bottom line of preventing large-scale relapse into poverty.
In some formerly impoverished areas, the assistance industries are "small, scattered, and weak," with incomplete chains and unstable foundations. Nearly one-third of the formerly impoverished labor force is employed in a flexible manner, facing problems such as unstable jobs and insufficient security. After winning the battle against poverty, various risks of relapse into poverty still exist, so it is necessary to help them get on their feet and support them along the way. During the transition period, various localities strictly implemented the "four no removals" requirements and established a sound dynamic monitoring and assistance mechanism to prevent relapse into poverty. As of the end of October this year, the country has cumulatively identified and assisted more than 7 million monitored individuals to steadily eliminate the risk of relapse into poverty, and the scale of employment of the formerly impoverished labor force has remained above 30 million people every year.
With the change of stage, the assistance policies will also change accordingly. After years of unremitting efforts, the assistance industries in formerly impoverished areas have grown from weak to strong, and the scale has grown from small to large. The 832 formerly impoverished counties have cultivated 2 to 3 leading industries with prominent advantages, distinctive characteristics, and strong driving capabilities, and more than 85% of the formerly impoverished households and monitored households have received assistance from at least one industrial assistance policy.
Consolidate a batch, upgrade a batch, revitalize a batch, and adjust a batch, effectively revitalize and adjust inefficient, idle, backward, and stagnant projects, accelerate the completion of shortcomings in industrial development, complete the industrial chain, and the development quality and comprehensive benefits of assistance industries can be steadily improved. Maintaining the momentum without slackening and the intensity without weakening, developing rural characteristic industries in accordance with local conditions, the lives of the formerly impoverished people will surely be 蒸蒸日上 (zhēng zhēng rì shàng - "thriving day by day," improving and flourishing steadily).

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) proposed to "deeply advance the construction of Digital China." Profoundly understanding the scientific connotation of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important exposition on the construction of Digital China, and comprehensively studying and implementing the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, is of great significance for deeply advancing the construction of Digital China and creating a new situation in the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
Accurately Understanding the Great Significance of Deeply Advancing the Construction of Digital China
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly understood the development trend of the digital era and the trend of scientific and technological innovation, and put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments on the construction of Digital China, which has pointed out the direction for deeply advancing the construction of Digital China.
Deeply advancing the construction of Digital China is an important engine for cultivating and developing new quality productive forces. At present, digital and intelligent technologies represented by artificial intelligence are accelerating breakthroughs, intersecting and integrating with other technologies, forming new combined technology clusters, and promoting a major leap in social productivity. Data elements are optimally combined with production factors such as land, labor, and capital to achieve innovative allocation of factors, effectively exert the role of synergistic optimization, reuse efficiency enhancement, and integrated innovation, expand the boundary of production possibilities, and improve total factor productivity. The construction of Digital China also profoundly changes industrial forms and production organization methods by promoting the digital and intelligent transformation of traditional industries, cultivating and strengthening emerging industries and future industries, and further empowering high-quality development.
Deeply advancing the construction of Digital China is a strategic move to build new national competitive advantages. At present, competition among countries around data resources and digital and intelligent technologies is becoming increasingly fierce. The construction of Digital China adheres to strengthening, optimizing, and expanding the digital economy, developing efficient and collaborative digital government affairs, creating a confident and prosperous digital culture, building an inclusive and convenient digital society, and building a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization, providing new impetus for high-quality development. On this basis, in-depth promotion of a number of practical cooperation projects such as digital infrastructure, smart cities, digital education, and digital medical care with relevant countries will benefit the vast people of countries jointly building the "Belt and Road" ("一带一路").
Deeply advancing the construction of Digital China is an important way to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities. The rapid development of digital technology and the deep mining of data resources provide us with powerful tools for analyzing complex problems, predicting potential risks, carrying out lean management, and achieving scientific decision-making. The construction of Digital China promotes technological integration, business integration, and data integration, deepens the collaborative management and services across levels, regions, systems, departments, and businesses, and realizes the scientification of government decision-making, the precision of social governance, and the efficiency of public services. The role of digitalization in promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities is becoming more prominent.
Major Achievements in the Construction of Digital China
All regions, departments, and aspects have conscientiously implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and approvals, and promoted the construction of Digital China to achieve world-renowned achievements.
The construction of digital infrastructure and the development of digital technology have made rapid progress. The length of national optical cable lines increased from 25 million kilometers in 2015 to 73 million kilometers in 2024, an increase of 192%, ranking among the top in the world. The number of netizens increased from 688 million in 2015 to 1.108 billion in 2024, an increase of 61%, and the Internet penetration rate increased from 50.3% to 78.6%. As of the end of November 2025, the total number of 5G base stations in China reached 4.83 million, ranking first in the world. The number of racks in national computing power centers in use exceeds 10 million, and the scale of computing power ranks second in the world. Key core technologies such as integrated circuits and operating systems continue to break through, and fields such as large models and embodied intelligence are accelerating their rise. The overall level of digitalization, networking, and intelligence has entered the first echelon in the world.
The effectiveness of data empowerment in economic and social development is remarkable. By setting policies, promoting supply, building standards, strengthening technology, and cultivating ecology, we will accelerate the pace of high-quality data set construction and promote data element empowerment in thousands of industries. In 2024, the added value of the core industries of the digital economy accounted for 10.4% of GDP, an increase of 73.8% compared with the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan." The national online retail sales increased from 3.9 trillion yuan in 2015 to 15.5 trillion yuan in 2024, continuing to maintain the first place in the world. More than 35,000 basic-level and more than 230 excellent-level smart factories have been built, covering more than 80% of the manufacturing industry categories. The development level of digital government affairs ranks among the top in the world. Innovative practices such as "one network for all services" ("一网通办"), "one network for unified management" ("一网统管"), "one network for collaborative work" ("一网协同"), "efficiently handling one matter" ("高效办成一件事"), "at most one visit" ("最多跑一次"), and "non-face-to-face approval" ("不见面审批") continue to emerge. The "one form for all" ("一表通") being promoted not only reduces the burden on the grassroots level, but also improves the digital and intelligent level of grassroots governance on a larger scale and to a greater extent. Electronic social security cards cover more than 75% of the population, and the number of national medical insurance code users exceeds 1.2 billion, significantly improving the people's sense of gain.
The market-oriented allocation reform of data elements has been accelerated. More than 30 policies and systems such as the "Twenty Data Articles" and the development and utilization of public data resources have been issued and implemented, and the "four beams and eight pillars" of the data basic system have been basically constructed. The construction and operation of national data infrastructure is steadily advancing, the data standardization work system is constantly improving, the "Data Element ×" action is widely carried out, 100 demonstration scenarios of public data "running" are successively released, and diversified data circulation service institutions and third-party professional service institutions are accelerating their emergence. In 2024, the national data production reached 41.06 ZB, accounting for 26.67% of the total global data.
International cooperation in the digital economy and data fields is constantly deepening. We will deeply practice the "Four Global Initiatives," actively put forward the "China Proposal" for the digital economy, and receive responses from more and more countries. The "hard connectivity" of digital infrastructure, the "soft connectivity" of data rules and standards, and the "heart connectivity" of digital talents are widely recognized. Create a good environment for the development of Chinese and foreign digital enterprises, support and encourage Chinese digital enterprises to "go overseas with brands" and "go overseas with quality," and provide good solutions and good experiences for digital transformation in various countries around the world.
The achievements made have laid a solid foundation and accumulated valuable experience for the construction of Digital China during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.
Promote the Construction of Digital China to a New Level During the "15th Five-Year Plan" Period
The National Data Bureau (国家数据局) will implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, accurately find the historical positioning of data work in the new journey of promoting Chinese-style modernization, and strive to write a new chapter in the construction of Digital China during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.
First, deepen the market-oriented allocation reform of data elements. Improve the system for determining data property rights attribution, market transactions, equity distribution, and interest protection. Promote the standardized operation of public data authorization, and implement the action to improve the data efficiency of state-owned enterprises. Deeply implement the "Data Element ×" action, guided by application scenarios, and create a good atmosphere for the whole society to "supply data and use data." Promote the construction of demonstration scenarios for public data "running" in depth. Take multiple measures to increase the cultivation of various data circulation service institutions, prosper the data market ecology, and accelerate the construction of an open, shared, and secure national integrated data market.
Second, promote the in-depth development of real-number integration. Accelerate the construction of a digital economy with data as the key element, strengthen the construction of a digital talent team, promote the digital transformation of the entire city, and accelerate the digital upgrading and transformation across fields and industries. Accelerate the cultivation of innovative digital economy enterprises, cultivate digital industrial clusters in a tiered manner, and develop and strengthen the big data industry. Empower the development of artificial intelligence with high-quality data set construction, and promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence with industrial development, people's livelihood security, and social governance.
Third, strengthen the core support capabilities of data technology. Seize the "bull nose" of independent innovation in key and core digital technologies, strengthen the construction of data element disciplines and majors, lay out and build a number of innovation platforms such as key laboratories and technology research and development centers, and focus on tackling key technologies and equipment for trusted circulation and utilization of data, high-quality data set construction and evaluation. Strengthen the efficient supply of computing power, algorithms, and data, consolidate data infrastructure, promote the construction and efficient and intensive utilization of the national integrated computing power network, and improve the data standardization ecosystem.
Fourth, build a security barrier for the construction of Digital China. Better coordinate data development and security, improve the data circulation security governance system, continuously improve institutional rules, explore safe and compliant models, and promote the formation of a safe, controllable, inclusive, and prudent data development environment. Promote the transformation of data security from static protection to circulation guarantee, from decentralized construction to intensive services, and from passive security to active compliance.

Return to TopSuizhong County (绥中县), Huludao City (葫芦岛市), Liaoning Province (辽宁省) is located where the mountains and sea converge in northern China. With its unique location in the western Liaoning corridor and its natural endowment of a temperate monsoon climate, it adheres to the development concept of "grain security as the foundation, characteristics as the body, and policies as the wings," forging a new path of modern agricultural revitalization that combines northern characteristics with the characteristics of the times. In 2025, Suizhong agriculture is anchored to the target of high-quality development, achieving multiple breakthroughs in areas such as stable production and supply, characteristic branding, technological empowerment, chain upgrading, and policy support. Looking ahead to 2026, on this fertile land, a beautiful picture of "prosperous industries, affluent farmers, and harmonious villages" is slowly unfolding.
Development of Characteristic Industrial Clusters
Consolidating the Foundation for Increasing Income and Achieving Prosperity
Suizhong adheres to the principle of "developing industries according to local conditions," deeply cultivates the cultivation of characteristic industries, and carefully constructs a diversified industrial cluster based on grain and oil, fruits, vegetables, animal husbandry, and fisheries. The development pattern of "**一县一业**" (yī xiàn yī yè - "one industry per county," each county focuses on developing one leading industry) and "**一村一品**" (yī cūn yī pǐn - "one product per village," each village focuses on producing one specialty product) continues to deepen, consolidating a solid industrial foundation for increasing farmers' income and achieving prosperity.
The fruit industry is Suizhong's golden brand in agriculture, among which, Suizhong White Pear (绥中白梨) is a geographical indication product and green food with a long history of cultivation. As a regional public brand of Liaoning agricultural products, the brand value of Suizhong White Pear reaches 4.473 billion yuan. The fruit is golden, crisp, juicy, and sweet, containing a variety of nutrients, and has both edible and medicinal value. It is sold to more than 20 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, and overseas markets. In 2025, the planting area of fruits such as Suizhong apples, white pears, peaches, and grapes was 815,000 mu, with an estimated total output of 1.26 million tons and an output value of 4.7 billion yuan. 191,000 new fruit trees were planted, 3,000 mu of old orchards were renovated, and a new provincial-level standardized science and technology demonstration orchard was built. In addition, Suizhong hazelnuts (绥中大榛子) were awarded the most popular product in the 2025 National Famous, Special, Excellent, and New Agricultural Products Production and Marketing Docking Activity, further enriching the local characteristic fruit matrix.
In 2025, the planting area of ginger in Tushan Tun Town (塔山屯镇) was 3,000 mu, with an output of 16,500 tons and an output value of 66 million yuan. The products are sold overseas, driving the development of related industries such as transportation and warehousing, and surplus labor is employed nearby. In 2025, the planting area of potatoes in Xiaozhuangzi Town (小庄子镇) was more than 15,000 mu, with an output of 75,000 tons and an output value of 75 million yuan, establishing a stable cooperative relationship with chain supermarkets. The Wangbao Town (王宝镇) Daigen radish industry has grown from scratch. In 2025, the planting area was 8,500 mu, the annual output of radish strips was 55,000 tons, and the output value was 30 million yuan, becoming a large domestic processing and sales distribution center for Daigen radish strips. The products are sold to Zhejiang Province (浙江省) and Fujian Province (福建省), and also to overseas markets. Huangdi Town (荒地镇) innovated the "two crops a year" planting model. More than 1,000 mu of green onions are transplanted by machinery and integrated with water and fertilizer drip irrigation technology, driving surrounding villagers to work and realizing a double increase in land utilization and farmers' income. In 2025, the county's vegetable and edible fungus planting area was 197,000 mu, with an estimated total output of 1.46 million tons, an increase of 4.2% year-on-year. The characteristic vegetable industry has become an important support for the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.
The fishery industry relies on coastal advantages to achieve high-quality development, building an industrial system that promotes coordinated marine fishing and marine aquaculture. In 2024, the total output of aquatic products in the county was 277,500 tons, an increase of 6.3% year-on-year, of which the output of marine aquaculture was 249,700 tons, an increase of 14.1% year-on-year, and the output value of sea cucumber cage culture reached 1.5 billion yuan. The construction of the artificial reef project in the Pin Fu National Marine Ranch Demonstration Zone (品复国家级海洋牧场示范区) in Suizhong Sea Area (绥中海域), Huludao City (葫芦岛市) has started, and the Beichanglong Marine Ranch (贝昌隆海洋牧场) artificial reef project with an investment of 25 million yuan has been put into production. The construction of the deep-water bottom sowing aquaculture demonstration zone is steadily advancing. Marine fisheries are transforming from "relying on the sea to eat the sea" to "raising the sea to prosper the sea," injecting lasting momentum into the blue economy.
Technological Empowerment to Improve Quality and Efficiency
Deep Integration of Industrial Chains
Suizhong insists on taking technological innovation as the main engine of high-quality agricultural development, from the mechanization of the entire process of cultivation, planting, management, and harvesting to the promotion of precise planting and breeding technology, from the cultivation of improved varieties to digital empowerment. Technological elements run through the entire chain of agricultural production, promoting the accelerated transformation of traditional agriculture to modern agriculture.
Suizhong takes the upgrading of agricultural machinery and equipment as the starting point, and continues to consolidate the foundation for the development of agricultural mechanization. The mechanization rate of the three major links of machine cultivation, machine sowing, and machine harvesting remains at a high level. Suizhong focuses on cultivating leading enterprises and continuously extends the agricultural industrial chain. Under the leadership of leading enterprises, the county focuses on cultivating agricultural industrialization management entities with large operating scales and strong driving capabilities. It enhances the competitiveness of processed products through brand empowerment, and organizes enterprises such as Zhenfeng Fruit Industry (震丰果业) and Dihua Monosodium Glutamate (帝华味精) to participate in various exhibitions such as the 22nd China International Agricultural Products Fair and the 14th Liaoning International Agricultural Expo, and the brand influence continues to expand.
The accelerated construction of industrial platforms and key projects has built a solid carrier for the clustered development of agricultural industries. The Zuoxiangyuan Soybean Intelligent Logistics Project (佐香园大豆智能物流项目) of the soybean advantageous characteristic industrial cluster has been completed and put into use, realizing the integrated operation of soybean storage, logistics, and processing, and greatly improving the scale of the industry. In 2026, the focus will be on promoting the Kangli Agricultural Product Deep Processing Project (康利农产品深加工项目) and the Intelligent Vinegar Production Workshop Project, to further improve the deep processing system of agricultural products. Through the project cluster effect, factors are gathered to form a benefit linkage mechanism of "processing enterprises + cooperatives + farmers," allowing the agricultural industry to transform from "single-point planting" to "cluster development." The industrial chain is continuously extended and deeply integrated, injecting strong momentum into high-quality agricultural development.
Policy Guarantees Continue to Increase
Writing a New Chapter in Revitalization and Development
Suizhong always puts agriculture and rural areas in a priority development position, and consolidates the foundation for agricultural development with strong policies, excellent services, and practical measures. It continues to exert efforts in cultivated land protection, infrastructure construction, main body cultivation, and post-disaster reconstruction, providing a solid guarantee for modern agricultural development.
Strictly abide by the red line of cultivated land and consolidate the foundation of food security. Cultivated land is the lifeline of grain production. Suizhong takes the construction of high-standard farmland as the main starting point and continues to build a system defense line for cultivated land protection and quality improvement. On the one hand, it vigorously promotes the implementation of high-standard farmland projects. The preliminary work of the 100,000 mu high-standard farmland project planned in 2025 has been successfully completed and has fully entered the construction stage. It is expected that the main project will be fully completed by the end of the year. The project focuses on key projects such as water conservancy facilities, field roads, soil improvement, and farmland power transmission and distribution, which greatly improves the comprehensive production capacity of cultivated land. On the other hand, it strengthens the protection and dynamic supervision of cultivated land quality, completes the summary of the results of the third soil census, establishes and improves a cultivated land quality monitoring network, and implements classified monitoring of 1 national, 12 provincial, and 13 municipal cultivated land quality monitoring points, and carries out targeted cultivation and improvement; fully distributes cultivated land fertility protection subsidies, covering an area of 836,400 mu in 2025, benefiting 141,300 farmers, and distributing subsidies of 65.1 million yuan, using policy incentives to guide farmers to cherish cultivated land and cultivate land fertility, and consolidate the foundation of food security from the source.
Suizhong has built a multi-level and all-round policy support system, injecting strong momentum into the diversified development of the agricultural industry. In terms of subsidy policies, various benefit-farmers subsidies, agricultural machinery purchase and application subsidies, and spring plowing and replanting fruit tree subsidies are accurately implemented, ensuring that all subsidies are paid. In terms of main body cultivation, the support for leading agricultural industrialization enterprises is increased, the application for municipal-level leading enterprises is organized, the village collective economic projects are promoted and expanded, and the renewal of green food certificates for 9 products of 4 green food enterprises is completed.
Combining post-disaster reconstruction with long-term development to enhance the agricultural risk resistance capability. Suizhong adheres to the dual-wheel drive of "emergency reconstruction and long-term improvement," efficiently promotes agricultural post-disaster recovery, and has accumulated valuable experience in risk-resistant construction. In the field of facility agriculture, the post-disaster reconstruction and repair rate reached 100%. In response to the disaster characteristics of different industries such as facility agriculture, animal husbandry, and fruit industry, differentiated reconstruction plans are formulated. Greenhouse repairs focus on standardized transformation, animal husbandry reconstruction strengthens the supporting of epidemic prevention facilities, and fruit industry replanting focuses on the selection of high-quality varieties to ensure that the reconstruction quality matches the needs of industrial development. Quickly integrate provincial subsidies, superior special subsidies and other funds, establish a "declaration-review-allocation" fast channel, and ensure that subsidy funds are distributed to the disaster-stricken entities in a timely and full amount. Establish a three-level reconstruction work system at the county, township, and village levels. Departments such as agriculture and rural affairs, finance, and townships closely cooperate to carry out county-level supervision, promptly discover and rectify problems, and form a work pattern of "linkage between upper and lower levels, and joint management." Combining post-disaster reconstruction with high-standard farmland construction, beautiful countryside construction, and agricultural infrastructure upgrades, while repairing damaged facilities, improve long-term facilities such as farmland water conservancy, livestock and poultry manure treatment, and garbage collection and transportation, promote agricultural production conditions to higher standards, and fundamentally enhance the ability to resist natural disasters.
Mountains and seas reflect each other, and fertile fields flow with gold. Suizhong is steadily moving forward on the journey of comprehensive rural revitalization with characteristic industries as the foundation, technological innovation as the driving force, industrial chain integration as the path, and policy guarantees as the support. From white pears full of branches to the fragrance of ginger, from the abundant harvest of potatoes to the full load of fish, from traditional farming to intelligent planting and breeding, Suizhong uses hard work and innovation to depict a magnificent picture of a strong agriculture, a beautiful countryside, and affluent farmers, providing valuable experience for the development of modern agriculture in northern China, and injecting fresh power into the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.

The National Health Commission issued the "Recommended Guidelines for Adult Health Check-up Items (2025 Edition)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), which introduces a "Health Check-up Self-test Questionnaire" as a pre-check-up guide and incorporates psychological health scale screening into the evaluation system. This promotes a shift in health check-ups from a "standardized package" to a "risk-oriented" model, providing more scientific and precise health check-up guidance for people aged 18 and above.
The introduction of the "Guidelines" will help further standardize health check-up behavior, protect the health rights and interests of examinees, and promote the high-quality development of the health check-up industry.
From Passive Examinees to Active Health Participants
"The 'Guidelines' have strong authority, guidance, and operability," said Professor Guo Qing (郭清), the fifth chairman of the Health Management Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. In 2009, the former Ministry of Health issued the "Interim Provisions on the Administration of Health Check-ups," which was an early guiding document in related fields. The Health Management Branch of the Chinese Medical Association released the "Expert Consensus on Basic Items of Health Check-ups" in 2014 and further revised it in 2022.
Based on the previous foundation, the "Guidelines" have been systematically modified and improved in combination with changes in the disease spectrum and updates in medical evidence, promoting the transformation of health check-ups to a health management model.
The key task of adult health check-ups is to promote the strengthening of common disease management and early diagnosis and treatment of major diseases. The malignant tumor risks clearly defined in the "Guidelines" cover types such as lung cancer, liver cancer, and gastric cancer. "Through standardized physical examinations, the possibility of early detection of these tumors is relatively high," introduced Professor Lin Tongyu (林桐榆), chairman of the Oncology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and president of Sichuan Cancer Hospital (四川省肿瘤医院).
The "Guidelines" help to further implement the concept of tertiary cancer prevention: primary prevention focuses on blocking the cause, such as preventing cervical cancer through HPV vaccination; secondary prevention focuses on early diagnosis and treatment; and tertiary prevention emphasizes standardized treatment. "If intervention can be achieved through screening in the early stages of the disease, the progression of the disease can be delayed to a certain extent, and even some early lesions can be reversed," said Lin Tongyu (林桐榆).
"Medical examination institutions provide health guidance based on informing abnormal indicators. People are transformed from passive examinees to active health participants, which helps to popularize common disease prevention knowledge, healthy lifestyles, self-health monitoring, and other health education content," said Professor Guo Lixin (郭立新), chairman of the Diabetes Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Hospital (北京医院)·National Center for Geriatrics (国家老年医学中心). The "Guidelines" help people improve their health literacy and self-management skills.
Check-up Items Shift from "Set Meals" to More Personalized Screening
The "Health Check-up Self-test Questionnaire + Basic Check-up Items + Chronic Disease Risk Screening Items" adult health check-up three-level system advocated by the "Guidelines" helps to build a health management closed loop of "risk discovery - precise screening - stratified management."
"In the past, when we did physical examinations, it was like ordering a set meal at a fast food restaurant, and everyone's examination items were similar," Lin Tongyu (林桐榆) said. Everyone's physical condition, genetic background, and lifestyle are different, and physical examinations should be based on individual risk factors to achieve more precise and personalized screening.
The health check-up self-test questionnaire is a major highlight of the "Guidelines." The self-test questionnaire includes personal lifestyle, past medical history, family disease history, and other content, which can guide examinees to actively examine their own health status and provide key basis for subsequent check-up item recommendations and evaluations.
The self-test questionnaire also incorporates psychological scales such as anxiety and depression. In Guo Qing's (郭清) view, this measure is different from the traditional perception of focusing on physical diseases and helps promote the industry and society to attach equal importance to mental health, laying the foundation for comprehensive health management.
In addition, the "Guidelines" target people at risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, common malignant tumors, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, chronic kidney disease, and cognitive dysfunction. The disease risk screening items are divided into two levels: preferred recommendations and optional items. When the basic check-up indicates risk signals, targeted in-depth risk screening can be carried out according to the "Guidelines" suggestions to make up for the limitations of the basic check-up.
Guo Lixin (郭立新) said that the "Guidelines" run risk assessment through the entire process from questionnaire survey and basic check-up to in-depth risk screening, avoiding missed diagnoses caused by a single indicator, and also making in-depth risk screening more targeted, providing a scientific basis for early prevention and intervention of various diseases.
Industry Services Extend from Physical Examinations to Long-term Health Guidance
"The 'Guidelines' formulate unified standards, providing a basis for the industry and institutions to improve the standardization level of health check-up services and management, and services extend from physical examinations to long-term health guidance," said Guo Qing (郭清).
How can the public effectively use the "Guidelines"? The first step is to carefully complete the "Health Check-up Self-test Questionnaire" in the "Guidelines." Strive to be specific and detailed when filling it out to understand your own health risks. Then, according to the relevant information from the self-test questionnaire and basic check-up, select the corresponding chronic disease risk screening items for further examination.
Guo Lixin (郭立新) gave an example of patients at risk of diabetes. After conducting a questionnaire self-test and basic examination, people at risk undergo mandatory item examinations to accurately capture pre-diabetes signals and delay the onset of the disease through diet and exercise intervention. If they already have diabetes, they can choose special examinations to regularly monitor complications. Combining the past medical history and lifestyle provided by the self-test questionnaire, doctors can develop targeted health management plans for patients to reduce the risk of related complications.
A physical examination is both a summary of the periodic health status and the beginning of subsequent health management. The experts interviewed emphasized that health management is a continuous task that requires long-term observation and dynamic management of risk factors for various diseases. Examinees can track the changing trends of indicators, seek professional diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner, improve the effectiveness of health management, and be the first person responsible for their own health.
Service Window
What are the focuses of health check-ups for different groups of people? Age is the primary consideration. Young people focus on establishing a healthy baseline and screening for infectious diseases; middle-aged people focus on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumor risks, and diabetes, such as increasing carotid artery ultrasound, low-dose lung CT, gastroscopy and colonoscopy, and continuous blood glucose monitoring; and elderly people need to add cognitive function, bone density, and nutritional status assessments.
Gender and family disease history need to be specially considered. Women need to focus on breast cancer and cervical cancer screening, and men should pay attention to prostate and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If there is a direct relative with early-onset diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, or tumor, the starting age of related screening should be advanced and the frequency should be increased.
Lifestyle is an important reference factor. Long-term smokers are at high risk of lung cancer, and low-dose lung CT is indispensable; people with irregular diets and unbalanced structures, as well as those who sit for long periods of time, need to be alert to metabolic problems, and it is recommended to increase related testing items such as uric acid, fatty liver, and blood sugar; and those with long-term excessive stress should pay attention to psychological health status, blood pressure, and thyroid function.

On December 15th, Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋), a delivery driver working in Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江), received an order and went to a restaurant on the underground floor of a shopping mall in Shangcheng District (上城区) to pick up the food.
"Someone's stealing!" Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋) suddenly heard a shout while riding the descending escalator. He turned his head and saw a man running towards the first floor along the escalator with a panicked expression, with several people chasing behind him.
It turned out that in a jewelry store on the underground floor, the man asked the shop assistant to take out a pair of gold bracelets under the pretext of shopping. Taking advantage of the shop assistant's unpreparedness, he snatched the gold bracelets and quickly fled.
In this emergency, Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋) turned around and went against the escalator, quickly chasing after him. On the first floor, he caught up with the man, tackled him to the ground, and pinned him down with his body, all in less than a minute.
"When I was holding him down, he was still resisting," Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋) recalled the scene at the time. "I didn't have time to think too much at that time. When you encounter such a thing, you have to step up and help if you can."
After the mall security guards arrived, Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋) withdrew and continued to the restaurant to pick up the order. "I just helped out, and the order wasn't overdue," he said.
That evening, the delivery company commended and rewarded Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋). The next day, the Hangzhou (杭州) Righteous and Courageous Foundation awarded Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋) the title of "Hangzhou (杭州) Active Individual for Righteousness and Courage" and presented him with a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋) is from Zhoukou (周口), Henan (河南), and has been working in Hangzhou (杭州) for more than half a year. Although he doesn't talk much on weekdays, he is recognized by his colleagues as a warm-hearted person, and he is willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who encounters difficulties. Facing the praise from netizens, Chai Zhenpeng (柴振朋) said, "I didn't do anything big, it's all what I should do."

In key areas such as finance and energy, HarmonyOS-based transformation helps to ensure the complete confidentiality and integrity of major business data in all aspects of the terminal, cloud, and management. By building a full-stack protection system from the chip layer and system kernel to application services, HarmonyOS provides a reliable operating environment for government data and industry businesses.
HarmonyOS also brings efficiency improvements. The system can realize task continuation and "seamless" file sharing between multiple devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and personal computers. "After reading a document on a mobile phone, you can directly modify and submit it on a tablet, just like operating the same device," said an employee of an enterprise.
HarmonyOS is constantly promoting the transformation of applications from "people looking for services" to "services looking for people." "Xiaoyi" (小艺), which integrates the DeepSeek-R1 intelligent voice assistant, can proactively remind users of pending matters and create workflows in government and enterprise offices; the HarmonyOS version of "Online State Grid" (网上国网) launched the "One-Step Energy Analysis" function, which allows users to directly view electricity consumption analysis by simply saying a command to "Xiaoyi" (小艺), significantly optimizing the user experience.
HarmonyOS is becoming an important choice for government and enterprise users, and governments and enterprises across the country are actively promoting the HarmonyOS-based transformation of applications. As of September 2025, more than 30 national-level government applications and nearly 400 local government and people's livelihood applications have completed HarmonyOS native adaptation and been put on the shelves. In more than 30 key industries such as finance, energy, transportation, and healthcare, the HarmonyOS system has penetrated the internal office systems of thousands of enterprises, covering China Telecom (中国电信), China Southern Power Grid (南方电网), SAIC Motor (上汽集团), and many other central state-owned enterprises and industry-leading enterprises.
The flourishing HarmonyOS ecosystem stems from the open co-construction and collaborative empowerment of the industrial chain. "Our electronic official document flow interaction platform carries 2.6 million users and processes a large amount of information every day. Migrating to HarmonyOS is a systematic project that requires close cooperation from multiple teams." The "Yue Zheng Yi" (粤政易) development team said when reviewing the adaptation process that Huawei (华为) is working with partners to comprehensively upgrade digital productivity by coordinating the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
Currently, the HarmonyOS ecosystem is accelerating its evolution. From leading Internet companies to independent developers in vertical fields, they are bringing new functions and new experiences to users at a pace of "weekly updates" or even "daily updates." For example, the "i Shenzhen" (i深圳) APP completed 25 version iterations within one year, quickly realizing the HarmonyOS-based transformation of hundreds of high-frequency government service functions.
"The vitality of the HarmonyOS ecosystem lies in co-construction and sharing," said an industry expert. "The access of more applications not only enriches the ecosystem, but also drives continuous system optimization through real feedback, forming a virtuous cycle of technology empowering business and business feeding back technology, helping to build a digital China (中国)."
Return to TopThe aluminum profile industry is the leading and pillar industry of Anyi County (安义县), Nanchang City (南昌市), Jiangxi Province (江西省). Currently, it has formed the largest aluminum profile production base in East China and the second largest in the country in terms of scale, with a complete industrial chain and significant advantages in sales channels. Facing market changes, Anyi County (安义县) is actively exploring transformation, guiding enterprises to carry out digital transformation and expand into the field of industrial aluminum profiles. At the same time, "going overseas" has become an important growth path for the Anyi (安义) aluminum profile industry. The government leads teams to participate in exhibitions, and enterprises actively explore markets in Southeast Asia and Africa, establish overseas warehouses, and form export alliances to promote the collective overseas expansion of brands. In 2024, Anyi's (安义) aluminum profile exports increased significantly, with direct exports doubling, and transformation and overseas expansion jointly driving the sustainable development of the industry.
Laying a Solid Foundation
Anyi County's (安义县) aluminum profile industry started relatively late, but has developed strongly in recent years. In 2023, "Anyi Doors and Windows (安义门窗)" was approved and registered as a collective trademark by the National Intellectual Property Administration (国家知识产权局), the second industrial collective trademark in Jiangxi Province (江西省) and the first in Nanchang City (南昌市); in 2024, the Anyi (安义) aluminum profile industrial cluster was rated as a national-level characteristic industrial cluster for small and medium-sized enterprises, ranking twelfth among industrial clusters in Jiangxi Province (江西省). Today, Anyi (安义) enjoys the reputation of "Hometown of Chinese Aluminum Materials (中国铝材之乡)" and "Hometown of Chinese Doors and Windows (中国门窗之乡)."
Anyi County's (安义县) aluminum profile industry has prominent advantages and a complete industrial chain. 180,000 Anyi (安义) natives have mastered nearly 70% of the downstream sales channels in the country, and the Jiangxi (Anyi) Aluminum Profile and Door and Window Expo (江西（安义）铝型材及门窗博览会) held every year in the first lunar month has established an industry reputation.
Exploring Transformation
In 2024, the revenue scale of the Anyi County (安义县) aluminum profile industrial cluster exceeded 70 billion yuan, and the annual output of aluminum profiles in the county exceeded 2 million tons, accounting for more than 10% of the country's total annual output.
Facing the many uncertainties in the development of the aluminum profile industry, Anyi County (安义县), based on the actual situation of the industry, seized the new consumption trend and explored industrial transformation to cultivate a "second growth curve."
Jiangxi Yonggao Aluminum Co., Ltd. (江西永高铝业有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "Yonggao Aluminum (永高铝业)"), located in Anyi County (安义县), used to have civil building materials business accounting for 90% of the company's total business volume. With the fluctuations in the real estate market, the company faced operating difficulties. In recent years, Yonggao Aluminum (永高铝业) has actively entered the field of industrial aluminum profiles and vigorously developed new product categories such as aluminum ladders and scooters. Now the company's industrial aluminum profile business accounts for about 20%, and the future goal is to increase it to 40% to 50%.
Transforming to industrial aluminum profiles has become a common consensus among Anyi (安义) aluminum profile companies. The government has also come up with "real money" to support industrial transformation. In terms of digital transformation, Anyi County (安义县) has introduced policies to increase the subsidy standard for enterprises from 60% to a maximum subsidy of 90%, and launched the "Leading Goose Leading" competition action. The county finance invests 15 million yuan every year for nearly 3 years to support "leading goose enterprises" to take the lead in digital transformation.
Setting Sail Overseas
In addition to transforming to industrial aluminum profiles, "going overseas" to expand markets and find orders is another path for Anyi's (安义) aluminum profile industry to cultivate a "second growth curve."
At the end of 2023, Yonggao Aluminum (永高铝业) began to invest in the field of foreign trade. After more than a year of exploration, overseas orders now account for about 20% of the company's total business volume, up from less than 10% initially, and overseas customers are concentrated in Southeast Asia and Africa.
"Going overseas" is a necessary path for the transformation and upgrading of the Anyi County (安义县) aluminum profile industry. Anyi County (安义县) organizes companies to participate in overseas exhibitions, and many companies have benefited from it. During the exhibition in Thailand, Jiangxi Caiyi Building Materials Co., Ltd. (江西彩衣建材有限公司) visited local companies one by one and accumulated a batch of Thai customer resources. In 2024, the company's direct exports of aluminum profiles reached more than 20 million yuan, accounting for nearly half of the company's total business volume. In order to facilitate the opening up of overseas markets, Jiangxi Huasheng Aluminum Co., Ltd. (江西华晟铝业有限公司) established a branch in Guangdong (广东) specifically responsible for foreign trade exports. After the foreign trade team was established in September 2024, the company achieved a direct export volume of 5 million yuan in just 3 months.
While companies are vying to **奋楫出海** (fèn jí chū hǎi - "row hard to sea," to strive to expand overseas markets), Anyi County (安义县) is also gathering all parties to "escort" companies. For example, Anyi County (安义县) actively helps local aluminum profile companies connect with China Communications First Harbor Engineering Bureau (中交一航局), Jiangxi Electric Power Construction (江西电建) and other central state-owned enterprises with overseas aid projects, and promotes 9 companies to be included in the central state-owned enterprise procurement platform. A cooperation agreement was signed with China Jiangxi Corporation for International Economic and Technical Cooperation (中江国际) for a Zambian overseas warehouse to help local companies explore the African market.
In addition, Anyi County (安义县) Industrial Investment Development Co., Ltd. (安义县工业投资发展有限公司) also established Jiangxi Anqi Door and Window Brand Operation Management Co., Ltd. (江西安企门窗品牌运营管理有限公司) to coordinate and promote the establishment of an export alliance by local aluminum profile companies to jointly promote the collective "going overseas" of the "Anyi Doors and Windows (安义门窗)" brand. By providing brand management services, supply chain empowerment, and participating in the construction of overseas key infrastructure, it helps companies upgrade from "single-point OEM" to "industrial chain going overseas."
From January to November 2025, Anyi County's (安义县) aluminum profile foreign trade export volume reached 107.65 million yuan, an increase of 171% year-on-year.

As the lights dimmed, an AI baton sliced through the night sky.
On the evening of December 18th, on stage, the robot "Zhiyin" conducted, and the Shaanxi Provincial Song and Dance Theater Symphony Orchestra (陕西省歌舞剧院交响乐团) performed, jointly presenting the symphony "Welcome," created by the Central Conservatory of Music (中央音乐学院) Artificial Intelligence Composition System. The beautiful melody flowed in the night of the ancient capital, and the People's Daily Online (人民网) "AI Xi'an Night" thus kicked off its performance.
As one of the 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility Forum activities, "AI Xi'an Night" invited corporate representatives, experts, and scholars from the artificial intelligence industry to gather together and start a dialogue between "technology" and "humanity."
As the lights gradually came on, People's Daily Online (人民网) host Xu Bo (许博) and the digital human "Bai Ze" appeared together, bringing the audience into a dreamlike scene where the virtual and real coexist.
"Do you not see the Yellow River's waters coming from the sky..." Amidst the shifting light and shadows, the sound of children's voices rang out, and dancers used their bodies as brushes, wielding them in the air. On the huge screen, the person in the painting stepped on clouds and danced, wandering in the ink and wash of mountains and rivers. This is the literary and artistic publicity integrated media brand column "Daily Reading of Paintings" jointly created by the Literary and Art Department of the People's Daily (人民日报社文艺部), People's Daily Online (人民网), and the China Academy of Art (中国美术学院), using AI technology to make static paintings "move" and "come alive."
"From 'reading paintings' to 'reading culture' to 'reading life,' mainstream media enables the creative transformation and innovative development of outstanding Chinese traditional culture," said Li Na (李娜), director of the Social Media Department of People's Daily Online (人民网社交媒体部主任).
Leaving the ancient fragrance of paintings, we entered the Qinling Mountains (秦岭). The program "Taking Pictures of the Qinling Mountains from Space" unlocked the secret of the "technological eye" guarding the green waters and green mountains for the audience—the technology of computational optical remote sensing.
"It's like a pair of 'wise eyes' that are online 24 hours a day," said Shao Xiaopeng (邵晓鹏), deputy director of the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院西安光机所副所长), adding that it allows protection work to move from "experience judgment" to "intelligent early warning."
The robot "Kua Fu" from Xi'an University of Technology (西安理工大学) performed Tai Chi on the same stage with students; students from Northwestern Polytechnical University (西北工业大学) wore equipment and used "thoughts" to make drones take off; the robot "Xun Xiao" from Xi'an Jiaotong University (西安交通大学) demonstrated the "unique skill" of stir-frying tea... The technological achievements of universities were eye-opening. Digital human interaction "Qian Xuesen's (钱学森) AI Class," AI creation and performance "Marco Polo's AI Travelogue," technology fashion show "Future Neon Clothes"... Wonderful programs won rounds of applause.
At the event site, the "Dreamland AI Teaching and Practice Center" project was signed; six Xi'an (西安) companies joined the "People's Daily Online Data Intelligence Partner Program"; and the "AI Xi'an" empowering thousands of industries event initiated by People's Daily Online (人民网) was also officially launched that night.

Return to TopOn December 28, 2025, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) celebrates its 20th anniversary. Through trials and tribulations, reaping the rewards of spring sowing, since its establishment, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) has always adhered to the "finance for the people" concept, focusing on its primary responsibilities and business, using reform as a pen and innovation as ink, composing a chapter of struggle that shares prosperity with the local economy and warmly accompanies social people's livelihood.
Born in response to reform, serving development with responsibility.
Looking back to the beginning of this century, a wave of reform and reorganization of city commercial banks arose. In order to better serve Anhui's development, the Anhui Provincial Party Committee (安徽省委) and the Anhui Provincial Government (安徽省政府) decided to integrate the resources of city commercial banks and urban credit cooperatives throughout the province to establish a provincial joint-stock commercial bank.
In December 2005, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) came into being, becoming the first banking financial institution in the country jointly established by city commercial banks and urban credit cooperatives. In November 2013, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) was listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (香港联交所), becoming the first city commercial bank in the central region to land on the H-share market. In 2020, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) bravely shouldered its mission and successfully acquired and took over the four out-of-province branches of the original Baoshang Bank (包商银行), smoothly completing the takeover of nearly 100 billion yuan in assets, the reception of more than 1,000 employees, and the continued service of approximately one million customers, demonstrating its responsibility to maintain financial security and stability.
Walking hand in hand for 20 years, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) has always shared the same breath and destiny with Anhui's economic development. Helping technological innovation and serving the development of new quality productive forces, the balance of loans to technology-based enterprises has exceeded 210 billion yuan, and the number of customers served by the "loan investment batch linkage" and "common growth plan" ranks among the top in the province. Enhancing the driving force of industrial upgrading, focusing on the construction of a modern industrial system, more than 160 billion yuan of manufacturing loans have been issued, the balance of strategic emerging industry loans has reached 150 billion yuan, 153.1 billion yuan of credit has been provided for the new energy vehicle industry, and 1,688 upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain have been served. Demonstrating the brand power of green finance, the balance of green credit is nearly 160 billion yuan, using financial power to protect green mountains and clear waters. Deeply cultivating inclusive finance, the balance of loans to private enterprises has reached 255 billion yuan; the balance of inclusive small and micro loans exceeds 170 billion yuan, and the evaluation of the policy orientation effect of small and micro enterprise credit is the highest level among banking financial institutions in Anhui Province; more than 65 billion yuan of support has been provided for nearly 100,000 individual industrial and commercial enterprises. Playing a "combined punch" to serve the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, the balance of agricultural-related loans exceeds 200 billion yuan, the scale of county loans is nearly 300 billion yuan, serving approximately 6.5 million households in counties and townships, and the targeted assistance work has been rated as "good" for many consecutive years in the effectiveness evaluation of provincial-level units.
Tempered by time, achieving brilliance with strength.
These 20 years have been a period of transformation for China's financial industry towards high-quality development, a period of transformation for Anhui to enter the ranks of major industrial provinces, and a period of transformation for Huishang Bank (徽商银行) to take root in Jianghuai (江淮) and grow into a leading city commercial bank. After 20 years of hard work, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) has become the main pioneer of Anhui's financial industry, with its main operating indicators steadily ranking in the first echelon of leading city commercial banks, and has gradually developed into an excellent local mainstream bank with national influence.
The scale of business has achieved a historic leap. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) has provided more than 3 trillion yuan of financial support to Anhui Province. The asset scale has grown from less than 50 billion yuan at the beginning of its establishment to 2.3 trillion yuan at the end of September 2025. The balance of deposits and loans has crossed the trillion-yuan mark, and the number of individual customers exceeds 21.5 million. The business format has achieved diversified layout, and the business has expanded from traditional deposit, loan, and remittance to a comprehensive service matrix covering investment banking, wealth management, asset custody, and financial markets, successfully transforming into a "financial supermarket" that can provide one-stop solutions. The risk control capability has achieved a systematic leap, the core tier-one capital adequacy ratio has remained at a healthy level of 9.62%, and the provision coverage ratio has increased significantly to 289.9%. The brand value has achieved an all-round breakthrough, ranking 101st in the "2025 Global Top 1000 Banks" list of the British magazine "The Banker", with a significant increase in ranking; ranking 23rd among the top 100 Chinese banks, and has been rated as "excellent" many times in the evaluation of financial institutions in Anhui Province serving local economic development.
Prospering through innovation, driving transformation through change.
Facing profound changes, Huishang Bank (徽商银行) insists on making good use of the key move of reform, and with the spirit of self-revolution, strives to cultivate new momentum and new advantages for development, and has achieved a leapfrog breakthrough.
"Strengthening the body and enriching the wings" to pursue dreams. 16 provincial branches, 5 out-of-province branches, and 474 business outlets have built a physical service network covering the entire Anhui region and deeply penetrating key areas such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Yangtze River Delta region. With the continuous development and growth of specialized affiliated companies such as Huishang Financial Leasing (徽银金租) and Huishang Wealth Management (徽银理财), Huishang Bank (徽商银行) has transformed from a traditional bank into a modern financial group with banking as the main body and the coordinated development of various financial formats.
"Digital intelligence leading" rides the wind and waves. Promoting digital transformation with unprecedented efforts, continuously formulating special plans for technological development, the number of technology personnel has doubled in the past three years, the proportion of technology investment in revenue has exceeded 4%, and the cumulative technology investment in the past three years has been 3.65 billion yuan. The new generation of core business system 3.0 has been successfully launched, ranking among the second batch in China and the forefront of city commercial banks, laying a solid digital foundation for long-term development.
"Customer experience" is fully upgraded. The intelligent authorization substitution rate of operation is nearly 85%, the counter satisfaction rate is nearly 100%, and the service concept of "customer-centric" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. From winning the first place in the banking industry in the "Anhui Province Service Industry Resident Satisfaction Survey" for 10 consecutive years, to building 105 "Periwinkle" age-appropriate outlets, the number of mobile banking customers exceeds 12 million, and intelligent and warm services are reaching thousands of households.
"Characteristic business cards" build the brand. The scale of science and technology innovation, investment banking, custody and other businesses ranks among the top in the banking industry in Anhui Province. The scale of resident wealth management exceeds 260 billion yuan. The first batch of science and technology innovation bonds in the country and the largest scale in Anhui Province were issued, and the first transformation loan in Anhui Province was issued, demonstrating the innovative spirit of 敢为人先 (gǎn wéi rén xiān - "dare to be the first," to be a pioneer; to take the lead). The cost-to-income ratio has been optimized to 22%, remaining at a good level in the industry, achieving a strategic upgrade from "scale-oriented" to "emphasizing both quality and efficiency."

Return to TopIn diplomacy, "neo-militarism" presents itself as a "regional security maintainer" on one hand, while frequently provoking disputes on the other. In recent years, Japan has abandoned its post-war foundation of pacifism, deliberately stirring up trouble on issues such as the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. By strengthening its alliance and quasi-alliance relationships with countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, it deliberately provokes regional camp confrontation. This logic of action, which replaces consultation with deterrence, is no different from the expansionist policies that pre-war Japan promoted in the name of "lifelines" and "lines of interest." First, deliberately provoke disputes, artificially create and incite "threats," and then use this to shift domestic contradictions and increase personal approval ratings. This has increasingly become a basic operation that Japanese politicians have repeatedly tried and tested in recent years to stabilize their ruling foundation.
What is even more alarming is that the *Imperial Rescript on Education*, which the old militarism used to bewitch the Japanese people to "go to the battlefield and dare to dedicate their lives to the Emperor," has reappeared. During the Abe cabinet (安倍内閣) period, the Japanese government, through a written response, declared that it did not rule out the possibility of using the *Imperial Rescript on Education* as teaching material. *The Asahi Shimbun* (朝日新聞) published an editorial arguing that this could be seen as part of the government's "attempt to return to pre-war values." Some media exposed in 2017 that kindergartens run by right-wing groups closely related to Shinzo Abe (安倍晋三) at the time forcibly required children to recite the *Imperial Rescript on Education*. Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) has been familiar with the *Imperial Rescript on Education* since childhood and publicly praised it in her early years, calling it very "wonderful." It can be seen that Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) not only shows militaristic tendencies in her military involvement in Taiwan, but also actively promotes historical revisionist education policies in the field of ideological education, restores pre-war militaristic values, and strengthens "patriotic" ideology, systematically inheriting militaristic genes.
(III)
Many scholars have compared and studied the different treatments of Japan and Germany after the war: first, Germany was jointly occupied by the Allied forces after the war, while Japan was exclusively occupied by the US military in the name of the Allied forces; second, Germany and the international community carried out a more thorough liquidation of the Nazis, while Japan's liquidation from the war initiators to militaristic ideology and culture, as well as national responsibility, was not thorough; third, there was a separate peace treaty with Japan that excluded important parties involved in World War II, and then, in the name of security cooperation, it was actually a solution and relaxation for Japan to use force.
Some scholars pointed out that the unbroken chain of power inheritance has made Japanese militarism a dormant volcano. Post-war Japan highly inherited the pre-war political forces. Japanese right-wing forces have tried their best to deny the history of aggression, intending to get rid of the status of "defeated country," and form an internal connection with historical revisionism that attempts to downplay the acts of aggression, promote breakthroughs in the "Peace Constitution" and the constraints of the post-war international order, and lay an evil伏笔 (fú bǐ - "hidden stroke," foreshadowing) for the resurgence of militarism.
In the 80 years of evolution after the war, Japanese right-wing politicians have put a false coat of "democracy," "rule of law," and "security" on militarism, and fabricated a set of self-contradictory "neo-militarism" logic.
"Neo-militarism" has caused a serious impact on Sino-Japanese relations. Japan bears an unshirkable and profound historical guilt on the Taiwan issue. Taiwan was originally "fine," but became "troubled" because of Japan's aggression and colonization. The Japanese side made clear political commitments on the Taiwan issue in the four political documents between China and Japan, including the *Sino-Japanese Joint Statement* and the *Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship*. Sanae Takaichi's (高市早苗) words and deeds ignore Japan's existing commitments, seriously damage the foundation of mutual trust between China and Japan, and have not only triggered strong protests, solemn representations, and countermeasures from the Chinese side, but have also been opposed and criticized by people of insight from all walks of life in Japan, including many former Japanese prime ministers.
"Neo-militarism" has brought adverse effects on regional peace and stability. Russian Federation Security Council Secretary Shoigu said that Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) pursues a historical revisionist policy, and the Japanese side has made a large number of anti-Russian remarks, which contradict its stated desire to normalize relations with Russia; the South Korean government has lodged a solemn protest against Sanae Takaichi's (高市早苗) claim that Dokdo (Takeshima in Japanese) is Japan's "inherent territory," and has suspended the joint South Korea-Japan military exercise originally scheduled for November. Given that the core of Japan's "neo-militarism" is to comprehensively break through the post-war international order, even for Japan's allies such as the United States, there is a real danger of raising a tiger.
"Neo-militarism" has caused substantial damage to Japan and the Japanese people. Japanese lawmaker Taro Yamamoto (山本太郎) pointed out that Japan has no future if it has conflicts with China. Once the confrontation escalates into conflict, Japan simply does not have enough strategic depth and population to support a large-scale war, let alone enough economic buffer chains, and the operation of the entire country will be easily frustrated. As Japan's defense budget in 2026 reaches a new high, the Japanese people angrily call this government behavior that causes tax increases and cuts in people's livelihood expenditures a "life-shortening military expansion."
Japan's *Tokyo Shimbun* (東京新聞) said that if a country cannot correctly treat history, it will be difficult to grasp the future, and Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) is leading Japan into a dangerous gamble. Politicians who do not hesitate to lightly threaten regional security with war will eventually be condemned by everyone, and "neo-militarists" who do not hesitate to sacrifice the well-being of their own people to strengthen the military will eventually be doomed to destruction.
(IV)
"The hour has come for Japan to decide its course. Shall it continue to be controlled by self-willed militaristic advisors whose silly calculations have carried the Empire of Japan to the threshold of annihilation, or shall it follow the path of reason?"
Eighty years ago, the final ultimatum issued to Japan in the *Potsdam Declaration* is still thought-provoking and is still a question that Japan needs to face and answer today. Whether the ghost of militarism can be completely eliminated from Japan is related to how the Japanese state and its people can gain a foothold and gain the trust of the international community.
Germany's approach to the Nazis is a mirror for Japan. Just this month, the German government announced that it would build a new memorial in Berlin to commemorate the Polish victims of the Nazi German tyranny during World War II, and return a batch of Polish cultural relics seized by Germany during World War II. "Remembering history and facing the past is endless. Germany has always adhered to its historical responsibility." German Chancellor Merz's statement is a continuation of a series of profound reflections in German society after World War II, and it is also an important reason why Germany has regained international acceptance and trust.
On the other hand, Japanese right-wing forces not only lack reflection on the crimes of Japanese militarism, but even take photos with representatives of Japanese neo-Nazis and write recommendations for books that glorify Hitler. Former Prime Minister Taro Aso (麻生太郎) even publicly stated that "Japan should emulate the Nazi practices in Germany before World War II and promote constitutional revision in a quiet environment." Just imagine, if these people had such words and deeds in Europe, they would be discredited and hopeless in politics, and even be held legally responsible.
What is particularly alarming is that the provocative words and deeds of Japanese right-wing forces still receive considerable public opinion support in Japan. Not long ago, Japanese football player Kaoru Mitoma (三笘薫) held a photo of Hiroo Onoda (小野田寛郎), a Japanese officer during World War II, and participated in a memorial event about World War I in the United Kingdom, which triggered strong criticism. Hiroo Onoda (小野田寛郎) was known as the "last Japanese soldier to surrender" and committed heinous crimes in the Philippines, but for many years he has been packaged by Japan as a so-called "war victim" and "loyal and tenacious national hero." This militarist, who did not repent until his death, has now landed in Europe as a propaganda material for peace activities, which shows the depth of the poison and paralysis of militarism, and the urgency of defending the achievements of the victory of World War II and the post-war international order.
The Taiwan issue is even more so. The one-China principle is an unshakable universal consensus of the international community. A series of international documents such as the *Cairo Declaration*, the *Potsdam Declaration*, and the *Japanese Instrument of Surrender* not only returned Taiwan, which Japan "stole" that year, to China, and clarified China's sovereignty over Taiwan, but also constituted a major achievement of the World Anti-Fascist War and an important part of the post-war international order. The film *Seediq Bale*, which was recently released in two parts for the first time in mainland China, brought the Wushe Incident that occurred in Taiwan in 1930 to the screen, and epically restored the history of the Taiwanese people's bloody resistance against Japan. In those days, the heroic Chinese people defeated the Japanese invaders; today, the Chinese people's determination to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity is as solid as a rock, their will is indestructible, and their ability is not what it used to be. The Chinese side will never allow Japanese right-wing forces to reverse the course of history, will never allow external forces to interfere in the Taiwan region of China, and will never allow Japanese militarism to be revived.
The international community needs to see clearly that the erroneous words and deeds represented by Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) are by no means accidental. In recent years, Japan's defense spending has increased for thirteen consecutive years, it has loosened its collective self-defense rights, repeatedly relaxed restrictions on arms exports, developed so-called "attack capabilities against enemy bases," and attempted to revise the "three non-nuclear principles," gradually hollowing out the clauses clearly stipulated in the *Cairo Declaration* and the *Potsdam Declaration* for Japan, and violating its own commitments in the Japanese Constitution. "Neo-militarism" is no longer an undercurrent, but is actually threatening global peace and development.
If the words and deeds of Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) and others are not corrected, they will set a bad precedent for other countries, and some forces may follow suit and challenge the established international rules and order. This will not only erode the foundation of international governance, but may also have an impact on the basic norms of international relations such as sovereign equality and non-interference in internal affairs, affecting the peace and stability of a wider region.
Letting "neo-militarism" out of its cage will eventually endanger the whole world. Ishiwara Kanji (石原莞尔), the chief planner of the September 18th Incident and staff officer of the Kwantung Army, constructed a crazy strategic theory in *The Final War*: the world can be mainly divided into four groups: the United States, Europe, the Soviet Union, and Japan, and the world will eventually break out a decisive large-scale war. Japan must prepare for this "final decisive battle" with the United States through industrialization, militarization, and social integration, and complete the unification of the world. Militarists have a stubborn fatalistic color, believing that war is not the result of human choice, but an inevitable torrent of history; militarists have a crazy gambler mentality, even when facing an opponent ten times their size, they must "gamble on the fate of the country" and not hesitate to wage a war of the whole people.
Former Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka (田中角栄), who promoted the normalization of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations, left a worried political will: "As long as the people who participated in that war are still in the central government of the country, there will be no major problems in this country; it is when we are all gone that it will be terrible." As the right-wing trend of domestic politics in Japan has intensified in recent years, these political predictions are facing a huge risk of becoming reality.
On November 21, the Chinese representative sent a letter to the United Nations, emphasizing that Sanae Takaichi's (高市早苗) relevant remarks seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations, seriously undermined the post-war international order, and were a blatant provocation to the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people and the people of Asian countries that had suffered from Japanese aggression; on November 24, Japan sent a letter to the United Nations to make an unreasonable sophistry, claiming that its basic defense policy was a passive defense strategy of "exclusive defense," and made unfounded accusations and blamed China; on December 1, China once again sent a letter to the United Nations, pointing out that Taiwan is Chinese territory, but Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) linked Japan's "existential crisis situation" with "something happening in Taiwan," implying the use of force against China, which obviously exceeded the scope of Japan's so-called "exclusive defense" and "passive defense." The Japanese side's statement is self-contradictory and is deceiving the international community. The letter, as an official document of the United Nations General Assembly, was distributed to all member states. France, Russia, South Africa, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Spain, Uganda, Turkey, Myanmar, Thailand, Colombia and other countries issued statements firmly adhering to the one-China policy.
For more than a month, Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) and the Japanese diplomatic department have been trying to perfunctorily deal with it with a "consistent position." At the same time, a video of Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) questioning the then Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama (村山富市) in the Diet when she was young has been continuously trending on the Internet. "What behaviors do you think are acts of aggression?" "What exactly is the fault you are talking about?" The questions she asked unreasonably back then are suitable to ask herself now, who is avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. What exactly is Japan's "consistent position"? What is your position on Japanese aggression and colonization? Can you go to the United Nations and talk about how you view and eliminate militarism?
"We shall not deviate. Nor shall we tolerate any delay." The call of the three countries of China, the United Kingdom, and the United States 80 years ago to advise the Japanese government to immediately announce its unconditional surrender "and to give adequate assurances of their good faith in such action" is also the voice of the international community today that does not allow Japan to reverse the course of history. The lingering ghost of Japanese militarism is a real and urgent real crisis. If the Japanese side insists on going its own way and making mistakes again and again, all countries and people who uphold justice have the right to re-liquidate Japan's historical crimes and have the responsibility to resolutely prevent the resurgence of Japanese militarism. This is the common bottom line of the international community to defend the post-war international order, and it is also the principled bottom line for Japan's own survival and peaceful development. Only in this way can we realize the great vision of "saving succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind."
Return to TopOn the banks of the Yangtze River, hydropower stations stand tall, continuously providing green electricity; among the mountains, rows of photovoltaic panels bask in the sunlight, shining brightly as they complete photoelectric conversion... Looking across the land of Chongqing (重庆), the green undertones become increasingly distinct.
Chongqing's green development cannot be separated from the strong boost of the "financial engine." In recent years, the Chongqing Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China (中国农业银行重庆市分行) (referred to as "Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行)") has bravely taken on its mission in serving the "dual carbon" goals and promoting high-quality development. It has elevated green finance to a strategic height, guiding financial resources to continuously irrigate green industries through mechanism innovation, product optimization, and service upgrades. This injects strong momentum into the comprehensive green transformation of Chongqing's economic and social development, forging a distinctive path of green finance.
Coordinated Development, Building a New Pattern of Green Financial Services
In recent years, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) has anchored itself to the "dual carbon" goals and elevated green finance to a strategic height. Based on the characteristics of Chongqing's (重庆) industrial structure and the endowment of ecological resources, it has built a coordinated development system of branch-wide overall planning and branch-specific implementation, forming a new pattern of green financial services with upper and lower linkage and city-wide promotion.
At the branch level, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) has strengthened the research and transmission of national and local green financial policies, clarifying the direction of green credit investment. At the same time, by optimizing the approval process and establishing a green channel for credit, it implements priority acceptance, priority review, and priority approval for eligible green projects, greatly reducing the approval time limit and ensuring timely availability of funds.
In addition, the various branches within its jurisdiction combine the characteristics of regional economies to accurately connect with local green industry needs, cultivating key areas such as clean energy, green transportation, and low-carbon industrial transformation, forming a differentiated service pattern, jointly weaving a green financial service network covering the entire city, and providing comprehensive and multi-level financial support for the green transformation of Chongqing's (重庆) economic and social development.
Innovative Practice, Enhancing the Breadth of Green Finance Coverage
Deeply cultivating green finance, nourishing green waters and green mountains. In order to do a good job in the grand article of green finance, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) takes the initiative to act and innovate, facing the differentiated financing needs of green industries in different fields and enterprises in different stages of development, precisely customizing financial services, and creating a flexible and diverse green financial "toolbox."
In helping the low-carbon transformation of traditional industries, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) demonstrated the wisdom of "tailor-made" solutions. The Rongchang Branch (荣昌支行) of the Agricultural Bank of China (农行) targeted the dual value of Zhongxin Animal Husbandry's (众信农牧) "low-carbon transformation + industrial driving," tailored a special credit program of "credit + ecological mortgage" for the enterprise, opened a green channel for credit business, and successfully issued a 10 million yuan transformation loan in a short period of time, which was earmarked for the construction of intelligent low-carbon granaries and energy-saving egg production lines, helping the enterprise achieve carbon reduction breakthroughs in the breeding process, and consolidating financial support for the low-carbon transformation of rural industries.
In supporting the construction of a clean energy system, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) demonstrated a steady and solid determination. The Nan'an Branch (南岸支行) of the Agricultural Bank of China (农行) continued to expand the coverage of green finance, focusing on the field of clean energy, increasing credit investment, and cumulatively supporting 15 wind power, photovoltaic, and water conservancy projects, with a total credit of more than 5 billion yuan, providing stable and reliable financial support for the optimization of the regional energy structure.
In serving major green infrastructure construction, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) played the advantage of comprehensive integration. In response to the financial needs of major green infrastructure projects such as rail transit with large financing scales and long cycles, the Yuzhong Branch (渝中支行) of the Agricultural Bank of China (农行) used a multi-dimensional "on-balance sheet + off-balance sheet" model, flexibly using a product portfolio of "on-balance sheet loans + bond underwriting + financial leasing," and cumulatively provided loans of more than 20 billion yuan for 13 rail transit construction projects.
Multi-party Linkage, Cohesion of Green Financial Development
A series of gratifying cooperation results are a true reflection of the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch's (农行重庆市分行) continuous deepening of cooperation and building of a green financial "ecosystem." Internally, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) broke departmental restrictions and established an efficient linkage mechanism between the branch and sub-branches, and the front, middle, and back offices. By means of special coordination, parallel operation, and reverse scheduling, the time for handling business was greatly reduced, and the speed and accuracy of service response were improved.
Externally, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) pays attention to combining "going out" and "bringing in," taking the initiative to strengthen docking with government departments, regulatory agencies, industry associations, and enterprises. Through multi-level docking services, party building co-construction, and personnel exchanges, it accurately grasps policy guidance and market demand; through cooperation with green industry associations, it holds green financial policy promotion meetings, bank-enterprise docking meetings, and other activities to build a bridge of communication between banks and enterprises, helping enterprises understand green financial products and services, and accurately match financing needs.
Looking to the future, the Agricultural Bank of China Chongqing Branch (农行重庆市分行) will adhere to the concept that **绿水青山就是金山银山** (lǜ shuǐ qīng shān jiù shì jīn shān yín shān - "green mountains and clear water are gold and silver mountains," environmental protection is essential for economic prosperity), closely connect with national strategies and Chongqing's (重庆) development plans, and under the guidance of regulatory authorities, continue to deepen green financial innovation, continuously enrich the supply of green financial products, and strive to provide full-industry chain and full-life cycle financial support for green and low-carbon industries, and contribute financial strength to depicting a new picture of green waters and green mountains in the land of Chongqing (巴渝大地) and writing a new chapter of high-quality development.

Clicking on the WeChat mini-program "People's Proposals" (百姓提案), the thoughts and expectations of the masses can be transformed into proposal clues: "If I Were the Mayor—My Ideas for Guangzhou's Development" (假如我是市长——广州发展我有招), "A Public Discussion on Healthcare" (医疗健康大家谈), "My Advice for Guangzhou's '15th Five-Year Plan'" (我为广州‘十五五’规划献好策)... Each column is like an open "window of public opinion," focusing on the "micro-wishes" of the people's lives and gathering "golden ideas" for the city's development...
Since 2021, the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (广州市政协) has innovatively explored the "People's Proposals" work. Over the past four years, the Guangzhou (广州) municipal and district-level committees of the CPPCC have mobilized and collected approximately 2,800 "People's Proposals." Among them, nearly 900 have been cultivated into CPPCC proposals by CPPCC members, participating units, and the public, with over 700 being filed for investigation. The quality of the proposals and the effectiveness of their handling have been significantly improved.
The "golden ideas" of "People's Proposals" are transformed into the "productivity" of grassroots governance.
Dong Yide (董义德), an enthusiastic "People's Proposal" person and an old resident of Caihong Street (彩虹街) in Liwan District (荔湾区), Guangzhou (广州), lives there.
Once, while taking a walk near his home, Dong Yide (董义德) ran into several neighbors. "Our buildings have now been equipped with elevators, but because there is no property management, the corridors are still dirty and messy," the neighbors discussed.
Hearing this, Dong Yide (董义德) went to a liaison station set up by the nearby Liwan District (荔湾区) CPPCC. "I found the staff and reported this clue," Dong Yide (董义德) said. "I didn't expect that the clue I provided would later become a 'People's Proposal' and be effectively implemented."
Ren Liang (任亮), then a member of the Liwan District (荔湾区) CPPCC, received the clue provided by Dong Yide (董义德) and felt that the phenomenon of old residential areas without property management was relatively common. He then improved and cultivated this idea into a "People's Proposal." After exchanges and collaboration between CPPCC members at the municipal and district levels, Feng Zhaoyang (冯昭扬), a member of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC, made a statement on this issue at the plenary session of the Municipal CPPCC. The Social and Legal Affairs Ethnic and Religious Committee of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC followed up on this topic, forming a municipal-level "People's Proposal" for submission, which was supervised as a key proposal.
By adopting models such as "community-backed trusteeship plus smart community construction" and "resident self-governance," and actively carrying out pilot work, the local area successfully promoted the implementation of basic property management in a number of communities in accordance with local conditions. Today, this innovative model has been extended to Yuexiu District (越秀区), Huadu District (花都区), and other places in Guangzhou (广州), and its effectiveness has been recognized by the public.
"People's Proposals" come from the people and serve the people. Focusing on finding practical solutions and solving problems, the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC insists on combining strengthening the Party's leadership with respecting the people's pioneering spirit, and proposes this systematic solution of carrying out "People's Proposals" work: the public can submit "People's Proposals" with their individual signatures; proposals formed by municipal CPPCC members, various democratic parties in the city, relevant people's organizations, and various special committees of the Municipal CPPCC based on the public's "golden ideas" should indicate the public's information when submitted.
The management of elevators installed in old residential areas, the improvement of community elderly care service levels, the improvement of inclusive childcare mechanisms, and the governance of safety around campuses... Around the people's "firewood, rice, oil, and salt" of people's livelihood, CPPCC members in various fields, enthusiastic people, and experts and scholars jointly participate in in-depth research, and broad consensus is condensed into many high-quality "People's Proposals."
"More than 2,600 elevators have been installed in residential areas, and the operation and maintenance costs are high. How to carry out safety management in the future? How to clarify the responsible entities?" Lei Ming (雷鸣), a "People's Proposal" person from the legal profession, conducted research in residential communities in Tianhe District (天河区), Guangzhou (广州), and proposed a "joint trusteeship" plan. Under the joint promotion of the municipal and district CPPCCs, the trusteeship rate of residential elevators reached 98.7% within a short period of one year.
The "golden ideas" of "People's Proposals" are transformed into the "productivity" of grassroots governance, forming a closed loop of work in which the public provides clues, CPPCC members conduct in-depth research, departments implement them, and the effects are supervised, improving the level of urban governance.
Strengthening vertical and horizontal linkages, and conducting consultations and deliberations on topics such as key regional development work.
"What are the government departments' plans for the construction of public high schools?" "Can some high school places be added as soon as possible?" "What should be done about high schools in remote towns that have not been able to recruit enough students in recent years?" Hu Guosheng (胡国胜), a member of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC and vice principal of Guangzhou Victoria Harbour Kensington School (广州市维港青藤中学), encountered many questions raised by the public in his work, and he conducted in-depth research on this.
At the plenary session of the Municipal CPPCC, Hu Guosheng (胡国胜) made a speech on the research results of this issue and launched a proposal suggesting increasing the number of ordinary high school places.
The Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC joined hands with democratic parties to jointly promote the proposal, and the main leaders of the Municipal Party Committee took the lead in supervising the relevant key proposals, promoting the increase of more than 10,000 ordinary high school places in Guangzhou (广州) in 2024, and another more than 10,000 ordinary high school places in 2025.
"The Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC insists on upholding integrity and innovation, strengthening vertical and horizontal linkages, and conducting consultations and deliberations on topics such as key regional development work, proposing to create a joint performance model centered on proposals," said Li Yiwei (李贻伟), a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC and chairman of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC.
In Liwan District (荔湾区), Guangzhou (广州), a 47,000-square-meter old park, formerly the Guangzhou Cigarette Factory No. 2 (广州卷烟二厂), had been idle for nearly 12 years due to the relocation of the factory.
How to revitalize and utilize industrial relics? The park has a large area and involves many entities, making the renovation process difficult. In order to integrate forces to form a joint effort, the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC initiated consultations, the municipal and district CPPCCs strengthened vertical linkages, and the municipal and district functional departments closely cooperated to clarify property rights, make plans, and determine the renovation plan for the old factory area: retaining the industrial historical memory of red brick walls and transportation connecting bridges, and introducing high-tech enterprises, building commercial facilities, and developing more new business forms.
After the renovation, the old factory area was transformed into the eye-catching 1906 Science and Technology Park (1906科技园). The original cargo tunnel was designed and transformed into a science fiction-filled "time tunnel," becoming a popular check-in point. The park has attracted enterprises in the fields of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and other fields to settle in, and has successfully realized the integration of "industry + consumption" through the organic combination of technology and culture and art.
Horizontally, the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC focuses on gathering the wisdom of various party groups, groups, and people from all walks of life to achieve resource sharing, wisdom sharing, and achievement sharing.
"My home is in Phoenix City (凤凰城), Zengcheng (增城). After Ningpu Avenue (宁埔大道) was built, the original 40-minute journey has now been shortened to 10 minutes!" Citizen Wu Zihui (伍子辉) exclaimed.
Once, a "dead-end road" at the junction of Huangpu District (黄埔区) and Zengcheng District (增城区) in Guangzhou (广州) made the residents living nearby miserable. The public submitted relevant clues through the mini-program, and the Urban Construction Resources and Environmental Committee of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC took over the work and horizontally linked the functional departments of urban road construction in Huangpu District (黄埔区) and Zengcheng District (增城区) to complete the road planning and smooth the public's travel route.
"We also drew inferences from one instance and formulated a work plan for projects to open up 'dead-end roads' and bottleneck sections, and proposed a total of 78 projects to open up 'dead-end roads' and bottleneck sections," recalled Ye Jinxiang (叶锦祥), then director of the Urban Construction Resources and Environmental Committee of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC. As more and more "dead-end roads" in urban transportation are opened up, the efficiency of urban operation has been improved.
"Vertical and horizontal linkage consultation can improve consultation efficiency. We insist on expanding capacity and scope, and gathering the voices and wisdom of the public; at the same time, we insist on improving quality and efficiency, and strive to achieve that the proposals and suggestions can be used by the undertaking departments as soon as they are taken, and can be effective when they are done," said Li Yiwei (李贻伟).
Building a diversified consultation platform to form a "gathering hall" for gathering wisdom and strength.
"I had an acute myocardial infarction last year, and I have to go to the hospital for a check-up every once in a while, which takes 3 days each time. But if there is an escort service, the time can be shortened to 1 day." Mr. Yang (杨先生), a citizen, walked into the "Tan Guojian (谭国戬) Member Studio" located in Huangpu District (黄埔区), sat down and chatted with Tan Guojian (谭国戬), a member of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC.
Mr. Yang's (杨先生) experience aroused Tan Guojian's (谭国戬) attention: How much value does the escort service have in optimizing medical efficiency? Through in-depth visits to community service centers, nursing homes, and other institutions, Tan Guojian (谭国戬) found that: "Faced with some more complex diagnosis and treatment processes, some patients, especially elderly patients, may spend a lot of time in the process connection."
After careful analysis, Tan Guojian (谭国戬) proposed to strengthen the escort service in the process of optimizing medical treatment, and to build and improve a systematic industry standard to further standardize the escort service. What makes Tan Guojian (谭国戬) gratified is that his appeal has been recognized by many people in the industry. "Now the social level has a certain understanding of escort," said Tan Guojian (谭国戬).
"Many hospitals now integrate escort services into the service system, and you can make an appointment by opening the official mini-program, which is very convenient," Mr. Yang (杨先生) gave a thumbs up.
"It is precisely in one chat after another that I can perceive public opinion and gain true knowledge and insights." In Tan Guojian's (谭国戬) view, a small studio has become an important platform for him to go deep into the community and solve practical problems for the people.
"The Guangzhou (广州) municipal and district-level CPPCCs have built more than 1,300 member studios, which should not only build a bridge of communication with the people, but also expand the window for collecting public opinion, and promote the normalization and convenience of contacting and serving people from all walks of life," said a relevant person in charge of the General Office of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC.
In April of this year, the auditorium of Guangzhou University (广州大学) was packed, and a demonstration and publicity event for model workers and craftsmen entering the campus was held.
What are the outstanding characteristics of Lingnan architecture (岭南建筑), how can construction technology empower new manufacturing and new materials, and how can architectural design integrate the sensibility of art and the rationality of engineering... Wang He (王河), a member of the Standing Committee of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC and the founder of the Craftsman Master Studio of the Guangzhou University Architectural Design and Research Institute (广州大学建筑设计研究院工匠大师工作室), came to the podium to share his 30-year design journey. The simple and easy-to-understand explanation won bursts of applause from the teachers and students present. The live broadcast also attracted more than 10,000 people to watch online.
"The performance platform is becoming more and more diversified, and the forms of performance are also more diversified. The interaction between CPPCC members and the public is also more frequent and in-depth, which puts higher standards on our performance of duties," said Wang He (王河). "We must use professional expertise and advantageous resources to continuously improve our ability to perform our duties."
In recent years, Guangzhou (广州) has also built a diversified consultation platform, using offline venues such as "Members' Homes" to carry out performance activities such as experience exchange, performance cooperation, and reflection of suggestions, forming a "gathering hall" for gathering wisdom and strength.
"In addition, Guangzhou (广州) also connects the online platform of 'Members' Homes' with the 12345 hotline to realize online democratic supervision and feedback on the handling of opinions," introduced a relevant person in charge of the General Office of the Guangzhou (广州) Municipal CPPCC. Relying on the "Members' Homes," CPPCC members at all levels in Guangzhou (广州) have gone deep into the "two representatives and one member" studios (liaison stations) to perform their duties 8,857 times, collected and reflected 4,078 problems, and promoted the solution of 3,477 difficult problems.
"The work of the Municipal CPPCC should be grasped early and reflect foresight; grasp accurately and reflect professionalism; grasp practically and reflect effectiveness," said Li Yiwei (李贻伟). "In the future, we will continue to 'take the people's heart as our heart' 以百姓心为心 (yǐ bǎi xìng xīn wéi xīn - "take the people's heart as one's own," to prioritize the people's interests and concerns), deeply cultivate the practice of consultative democracy, and let the whole-process people's democracy bloom with more brilliant brilliance on the banks of the Pearl River."

Infant and toddler care services are related to the healthy growth of children and the well-being of millions of families. The "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal clearly states that "we will develop inclusive childcare and integrated childcare services, and gradually improve relevant systems." This fully demonstrates a development ideology centered on the people.
The data released at the 5th China Population and Development Forum in November this year showed that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China vigorously promoted the construction of a childcare service system. There are 126,000 childcare service institutions nationwide, providing a total of 6.657 million childcare places. China has reached 4.73 childcare places for infants and toddlers under 3 years old per thousand people. Through research, we have found that various regions have increased resource investment in human and material resources and carried out many explorations and innovations. For example, Heilongjiang (黑龙江) has included the development of inclusive childcare services and other work into the 20 livelihood projects for building a "Happy Heilongjiang (幸福龙江)"; Fujian (福建) has explored the implementation of a health deputy director system for childcare institutions, with relevant personnel selected and dispatched by medical and health institutions... One measure after another to solve the pain points of people's livelihoods has brought tangible gains to the masses.
However, during visits and exchanges in various places, some families of childbearing age reported that working parents have a heavy "burden of raising children," making it difficult to balance family and career; the number of childcare institutions that are close to home and of high quality is relatively small, and some childcare institutions have problems such as high prices and unstable childcare hours. There is still a gap between the effective supply of childcare services and meeting the diverse, convenient, and inclusive needs of families; some families are troubled by "cannot afford" and "dare not entrust." To this end, it is recommended to build childcare institutions at the "doorstep" of the masses, so that affordable, high-quality, and accessible childcare services benefit more families and reach the hearts of the people.
Expand the supply system of childcare services, encourage more social entities to participate in inclusive childcare services, and enrich the childcare supply around us. The survey found that the community coverage rate of specialized childcare institutions is far lower than that of kindergartens, and the childcare needs of "small children" have not been fully met. Therefore, it is necessary to further encourage and support various entities to establish childcare service institutions, and promote the formation of a diversified and multi-level childcare service supply system. Support kindergartens to expand services, set up childcare classes to enroll children aged 2-3, coordinate public childcare service resources, and vigorously carry out "integrated childcare" services; increase the supply of community childcare services, use public service facilities built in new residential communities and renovated in old communities, and embed childcare service facilities in communities through public-private partnerships, private non-profit organizations, etc., to facilitate parents to send their children to childcare nearby; encourage employers with conditions to run welfare-based inclusive childcare institutions through self-construction and self-operation, entrusted operation, etc., and open them to the public to benefit the surrounding people.
Optimize service models to meet the actual needs of families and provide diversified service options. The mismatch between parents' work hours and children's enrollment and pick-up times is also a major pain point for parents. In response to the needs of different families, it is necessary to guide and encourage various childcare institutions to provide diversified and customized inclusive childcare service projects. In addition to basic forms such as full-day, half-day, and hourly care, it is also necessary to carry out various forms of childcare services such as early childcare, extended childcare, and holiday childcare according to the physical and mental development characteristics of infants and toddlers aged 0-3. In addition, through childcare institution open days, public lectures on scientific parenting, etc., help parents eliminate cognitive anxiety and understand scientific parenting knowledge.
Establish an urban childcare comprehensive service center to drive the quality and upgrading of the inclusive childcare service network. At present, there is an uneven quality of childcare institutions. Some parents frankly say that the quality of childcare services is like "opening a blind box," and they have doubts about sending their children to childcare. It is recommended to establish an urban childcare comprehensive service center with functions such as consulting management of childcare institutions, training of practitioners, and research and development of childcare products, forming a childcare service training base integrating "production, education, and research," playing a driving and radiating role, driving the improvement of community childcare services and the ability of practitioners at the grassroots level, and better meeting the public's expectations for service quality.
Further promote the "integration of medical care and education" and promote the integrated development of health services and childcare services. The healthy growth of children is the top priority in the hearts of the majority of parents. It is recommended to take the "integration of medical care and education" service as the entry point, relying on the maternal and child health stations around the people, connecting medical and health institutions, childcare institutions, and infant and toddler families, and building a "three-party co-education" carrier to promote the healthy growth and care of infants and toddlers. In the process of promoting the construction of a childcare service system, give play to the advantages of concentrated disciplinary resources of medical and health institutions, build a "childcare consortium" of "integration of medical care and education," introduce scientific parenting concepts and health services, and promote high-quality population development with the "integration of medical care and education" service as the starting point.

Motion: Opera is a treasure of Chinese culture. A large number of local minor opera genres in China, as an important part of intangible cultural heritage, carry local cultural characteristics and historical memories, and play an irreplaceable role in inheriting Chinese culture and enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the masses. However, with the advent of the digital age, local minor opera genres also face challenges such as limited dissemination channels, dilution of genre personality, and breaks in inheritance.
Suggestions: Promote digital inheritance by combining "points and surfaces." Taking the launch of digital protection work for local minor opera genres as a starting point, excavate, rescue, and sort out the existing minor opera repertoires in various places, comprehensively and systematically collect relevant materials on the historical evolution of local minor opera genres, and focus on the preservation, restoration, and archiving of audio-visual and written materials. Explore the establishment of a national unified digital sharing service platform for local opera genres, where local opera art performance groups can share the platform data; local governments should increase investment in the digital protection and inheritance of minor opera genres, and introduce policies to encourage the younger generation to devote themselves to the inheritance and development of local minor opera genres.
Strengthen diversified publicity through "top-down" linkage. Give play to the important role of the Internet in the inheritance and development of opera, open special websites and WeChat official accounts for local minor opera genres, and use short videos, live broadcasts, social media and other platforms to release standard videos of local minor opera genres, so as to spread minor opera genres in a way that young people like to see and hear; support schools to increase the education of traditional opera culture, improve students' awareness of local traditional opera, organize local minor opera genres to enter campuses, communities, and villages, and guide social forces to participate in the protection and inheritance of local minor opera genres.
Promote cross-border integration by combining "internal and external" cultivation. With the goal of producing high-quality local opera standard video works, the publicity and cultural tourism departments should join hands to invite professionals in the fields of local opera, photography, and short video creation to form a team, collect high-quality lyrics texts of minor opera genres, and create new repertoires that reflect contemporary values and aesthetic tastes in combination with the background of the times and real life. At the same time, encourage the integrated development of local minor opera genres with tourism, film and television, animation and other industries, develop cultural and creative products, innovate traditional performance forms, and use digital technology to inject new vitality into minor opera genres.

Gantry cranes rise and fall, containers are lined up, and trucks are coming and going in an endless stream... Stepping into Shijiazhuang International Land Port (石家庄国际陆港) in Hebei Province (河北省), one can see China-Europe freight trains fully loaded with goods slowly departing from the land port's station and heading to countries jointly building the "Belt and Road" initiative.
"The international land port is not just a transportation hub, but also a platform to empower the region's high-level opening to the outside world." In recent years, Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领), a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协委员) and Chairman of Hebei Land Port Construction Group (河北陆港建设集团), has continued to pay attention to the development of international land ports. During a survey on the linkage between Shijiazhuang International Land Port (石家庄国际陆港) and the industrial development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) region, he found that although the China-Europe freight trains in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) region have seen significant growth, there are also problems such as relatively dispersed resources and weak radiation and agglomeration effects.
"Building a China-Europe freight train assembly center will help promote the transformation of train operations from 'point-to-point' to 'hub-to-hub', further reducing logistics costs and improving quality and efficiency." After investigation and research, Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领) realized the importance and urgency of building a regional assembly center.
Where should it be built? "Shijiazhuang (石家庄) is a city carrying the land port-type national logistics hub, and the operation of China-Europe freight trains is standardized and of good quality, which has the conditions for building an assembly center," said Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领). During the 2024 National People's Congress (全国两会), Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领) submitted a proposal on supporting Shijiazhuang (石家庄) to apply for a China-Europe freight train assembly center, proposing to optimize the construction of transportation infrastructure and the layout of major productive forces based on Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀), support Shijiazhuang (石家庄) to leverage its advantages as a hub node for China-Europe freight trains, build a China-Europe freight train assembly center, and build a high-energy freight hub for domestic and international dual circulation.
The proposal has received high attention from relevant national departments, and Shijiazhuang International Land Port (石家庄国际陆港) has been successfully approved as a China-Europe freight train assembly center. "The proposal's suggestions have been transformed into development results, and I feel very fulfilled as a member of the CPPCC (政协委员)." Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领) is very pleased with the overall leap in the comprehensive strength of Shijiazhuang International Land Port (石家庄国际陆港).
In addition to caring about the construction of international land ports and the development of China-Europe freight trains, Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领) also focused his suggestions on the new track of logistics development. "The low-altitude economy is a strategic emerging industry that the world is competing for, and it is an important field for cultivating and developing new quality productive forces." With these ideas, Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领) went to Zhejiang (浙江), Guangdong (广东) and other places to investigate the exploration and practice of "low-altitude +". "If we deeply integrate the short-distance 'air mobility' of the low-altitude economy with the long-distance 'ground efficiency' of high-speed rail and China-Europe freight trains to build a 'air-rail combined transport' three-dimensional transportation system, it can not only alleviate the traffic pressure in urban agglomerations and improve logistics efficiency, but also cultivate new quality productive forces such as green logistics and smart transportation," said Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领).
During this year's National People's Congress (全国两会), Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领) submitted a proposal on promoting the development of the low-altitude economy and building new application scenarios for air-rail combined transport, suggesting actively applying new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and intelligent connected vehicles, establishing and improving intelligent connected systems, communication systems, and other information infrastructure, promoting the wide-area coverage of low-altitude communication networks, and laying the foundation for the development of drone logistics and other application scenarios. Soon, Liu Ruiling's (刘瑞领) proposal received attention from relevant national departments, and many of the suggestions he put forward were adopted to support the development and operation of low-altitude economic scenarios in accordance with local conditions.
Performing duties non-stop and fulfilling responsibilities without end. "I will continue to focus on the central overall situation, offer suggestions and suggestions around the needs of development, and show greater achievements in promoting high-quality economic and social development," said Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领).
Return to TopXi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, recently made important instructions on the ideological and moral construction of minors, emphasizing that Party committees and governments at all levels should strengthen organizational leadership, relevant departments and mass organizations should earnestly perform their duties, and work together to create a good social environment for the healthy growth of minors.
In recent years, political and legal organs and cyberspace administration departments have strengthened the protection of minors and the prevention and control of illegal and criminal activities, guided minors to establish a concept of the rule of law, and jointly promoted the healthy growth and all-round development of minors.

Court Issues Judicial Recommendation--
Collaborative Governance for Campus Safety
By Wei Zhezhe (魏哲哲), reporter of this newspaper
A quarrel broke the originally peaceful campus life of three teenagers. Xiao Ming (小明) had a verbal argument with Xiao Cai (小蔡) because Xiao Cai's (小蔡) talking in class affected him. During the scuffle, Xiao Ming (小明) used a carving knife pen handed to him by Xiao Cheng (小程) to cut Xiao Cai (小蔡). After identification, Xiao Cai's (小蔡) injury constituted a minor injury of the second degree.
"The case involves many aspects such as family education and campus life, and a simple judgment cannot resolve the estrangement." Wang Min (王敏), the judge in charge of the case at the Xinyi City People's Court (新沂市人民法院) in Jiangsu Province (江苏省), said that the judge adhered to the principle of "the best interests of the minor" and visited and guided the parties time and time again, talking about family responsibilities and legal provisions, and building a bridge for communication and mediation among the parties concerned.
In the end, the three guardians put aside their opposition and reached a settlement: Xiao Ming's (小明) guardian assumed 60% of the compensation responsibility, and Xiao Cheng's (小程) guardian assumed 40% of the compensation responsibility, totaling more than 34,000 yuan in compensation to Xiao Cai (小蔡). "The parents solemnly promised that they would pay close attention to their children's physical and mental health, further strengthen their education and supervision of their children, and enhance their children's awareness of the rule of law," Wang Min (王敏) said.
Although the individual case has been concluded, the thought of how to avoid similar incidents still lingers in the judge's mind. Through extensive visits and investigations, Wang Min (王敏) found that stationery stores around the campus generally sell carving knife pens, and there is a phenomenon of selling dangerous "three-no" stationery. The Xinyi Court (新沂法院) actively performed its judicial functions and issued a "Judicial Recommendation on Strengthening the Supervision and Use of Carving Knife Pens on Campus" to the local Education Bureau (教育局) and the school involved in the case. The joint efforts of various departments have achieved remarkable results: the Education Bureau (教育局) carried out a special rectification action on dangerous stationery throughout the city and established a closed-loop management mechanism of "investigation-rectification-feedback"; the Market Supervision Bureau (市场监管局) carried out a special inspection action and ordered the stationery stores with problems to rectify; the school strengthened the investigation of dangerous items on campus, carried out a "Safe Stationery Theme Week", and further strengthened cooperation between families and schools to jointly protect the safety of students.
A judicial recommendation leverages collaborative governance for campus safety. In recent years, the people's courts have done a solid job of "**抓前端，治未病**" (zhuā qián duān, zhì wèi bìng - "grasp the front end, treat the unmatured disease," to address problems at an early stage and prevent them from escalating), fully reflecting the unique "prevention + governance" dual-orientation principle in the trial work of minors, and promoting social governance through the performance of duties and handling of cases. According to the relevant person in charge of the No. 1 Civil Division of the Supreme People's Court (最高人民法院), from "zero tolerance" for crimes against minors and tolerance but not indulgence for problem teenagers, to professional trials to weave a tight protection network, and then to promoting the integrated efforts of the "six major protections," the people's courts have insisted on safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of minors and supporting the rule of law for youth.
Focus on Juvenile Procuratorial Work--
Joint Assistance and Education to Rebuild Confidence
By Ni Yi (倪弋), reporter of this newspaper
"I'm interning at a new energy vehicle factory!" Recently, 17-year-old Xiao Fei (小飞) (pseudonym) held the internship acceptance notice and excitedly called Zhou Junhua (周俊华), a member of the Chongqing Procuratorate's (重庆检察院) juvenile protection work team and a prosecutor at the Jiangjin District People's Procuratorate (江津区人民检察院), his words full of longing for the future. However, just a year ago, Xiao Fei (小飞) violated the law due to a momentary lapse of judgment, and his life instantly fell into darkness.
Xiao Fei (小飞) is a student at a vocational school in Chongqing (重庆). Due to his weak awareness of the rule of law, he was induced by others to lend his WeChat (微信), Alipay (支付宝) account and bank card to participate in "running points," suspected of concealing and concealing the proceeds of crime. In September 2024, the case was transferred to the Jiangjin District People's Procuratorate (江津区人民检察院) for review and prosecution. The handling prosecutor comprehensively reviewed and found that Xiao Fei (小飞) surrendered himself and was a first-time offender. He grew up in a single-parent family, and his father was too busy making a living to take care of him, so he was ignorant and went astray.
In order to help Xiao Fei (小飞) completely return to the right path, the Jiangjin District People's Procuratorate (江津区人民检察院) took the lead in building a joint assistance and education platform for procuratorates, schools, and social workers. In addition to regular legal education and psychological counseling, social workers also customized vocational planning training for Xiao Fei (小飞) based on his vocational development needs; at the same time, they provided family education guidance to his father to guide him in fulfilling his guardianship responsibilities. In December 2025, Xiao Fei (小飞) successfully passed the assessment of the inspection period with his good performance, and the Jiangjin District People's Procuratorate (江津区人民检察院) made a decision not to prosecute him in accordance with the law.
Xiao Fei (小飞) is not an isolated case. Wang Fangfang (王方方), head of the Juvenile Inspection Department of the Fifth Branch of the Chongqing Municipal People's Procuratorate (重庆市人民检察院第五分院), introduced that the Chongqing Procuratorate's (重庆检察院) juvenile protection work team has established a number of social assistance and correction bases by mobilizing and absorbing social forces, and the procuratorial organs have jointly established a number of social assistance and correction bases with enterprises, public institutions, social teams, vocational schools, communities, etc. to help juvenile offenders correct psychological deviations, correct bad behaviors, and improve their ability and confidence to return to society.
The procuratorial organs adhere to the principle of "prevention is protection, and punishment is also salvation," and strengthen the prevention and governance of juvenile delinquency. In the first three quarters of 2025, national procuratorial organs made conditional non-prosecution decisions for 11,000 juvenile offenders, issued 19,000 "supervision orders," handled more than 2,300 cases of supporting prosecution involving minors, and filed more than 5,600 public interest litigation cases for the protection of minors. The person in charge of the Juvenile Procuratorial Department of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (最高检) said that the next step will be to continue to strengthen the prevention and governance of juvenile delinquency, severely crack down on crimes against minors in accordance with the law, handle every case involving minors with high quality and efficiency, and better protect the healthy growth of minors.
Public Security Organs Emphasize Both Prevention and Control--
Severely Punish Crimes and Care for Growth
By Zhang Tianpei (张天培), reporter of this newspaper
Feng Li (冯丽) (pseudonym), who lives in Xuhui District (徐汇区), Shanghai (上海), just turned 14 this year. By chance, she saw a post on a social platform saying that she could receive autographed photos of celebrities for free, so she left a message to inquire. The other party sent a private message asking her to join a social group. Not long after Feng Li (冯丽) joined the group, a person named "Officer Zhang (张警官)" also joined the group, claiming that the group was suspected of "leaking other people's privacy and illegally distributing celebrity peripheral products," and minors should use their parents' mobile phones to scan the code for verification and investigation, and pay a deposit. Feng Li (冯丽) panicked and, after hesitating for a moment, transferred a total of 15,000 yuan to "Officer Zhang (张警官)" through her family's mobile phone. The next day, Feng Li's (冯丽) family found that the account balance had decreased, and after learning the truth, they immediately called the police.
The Xuhui Branch of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau (上海市公安局徐汇分局) found that the gang of criminals used "free celebrity autographs" as bait to specifically target minors for fraud. The police then went to various places to carry out arrests and successfully destroyed the fraudulent criminal gang.
"Telecommunications network fraud cases still occur frequently, and the situation of combating and preventing fraud is still severe. At present, minors' study and life are inseparable from the Internet, and they are vulnerable to fraud gangs due to their lack of social experience." Shen Chao (沈超), captain of the anti-fraud team of the Xuhui Public Security Bureau (徐汇公安分局), introduced that in response to telecommunications network fraud activities that infringe on minors, public security organs have strengthened the entire chain of crackdown, traced the source of clues of minors being defrauded, deeply investigated the situation of fraud gangs, destroyed stolen goods dens, and cut off the chain of illegal and criminal activities.
"It is better to prevent a case than to solve it quickly, and it is better to avoid being defrauded than to recover more stolen goods." In order to prevent minors from being involved in telecommunications network fraud activities, public security organs in various places have joined forces with education and other departments to help students understand the types of telecommunications network fraud that occur frequently and the latest fraud methods and routines in a timely manner, guide students to enhance their awareness of the rule of law, improve their awareness of fraud prevention, and avoid falling into telecommunications fraud schemes.
Build a protective barrier to protect the healthy growth of minors. In recent years, from cracking down on telecommunications network fraud activities specifically targeting minors, to promoting the crackdown on trafficking in children, to severely and quickly cracking down on crimes of sexual assault and molestation of minors, public security organs have not been soft on illegal and criminal cases that infringe on minors, and have taken heavy punches to protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors in accordance with the law. At the same time, public security organs adhere to protection as the main focus and prevention as the first priority, ensure that children are far away from the harm of drug crimes, make every effort to strengthen the safety precautions for minors staying in hotels, hotels, hotels, etc., focus on purifying the network space environment for minors, and effectively strengthen the travel and campus safety of minors... A series of continuous and powerful, combined prevention and control solid measures to protect the healthy growth of minors.
Legal Aid Lawyers Participate in Mediation--
Education-Based, Resolving Knots
By Zhang Cong (张璁), reporter of this newspaper
"I thought it was just a private 'appointment to fight,' but I didn't expect it to have reached the edge of crime." Speaking of that impulse last year, Fang (方) is still frightened and full of regret.
In November 2024, Fang (方), a 17-year-old vocational school student, had a verbal argument with his classmate Zeng (曾) over trivial matters. In addition, many classmates present "**拱火**" (gǒng huǒ - "stoke the fire," to incite or egg someone on), and the two "**一点就炸**" (yī diǎn jiù zhà - "explode at one point," to easily lose one's temper), agreeing to "theorize" in the school toilet. Unexpectedly, during a scuffle, the two fell at the same time due to the slippery ground, and Fang (方) accidentally injured Zeng (曾), causing him to fracture his hip bone, which was identified as a minor injury of the second degree after judicial appraisal, reaching the standard for criminal filing.
After the public security organs filed the case, the case was quickly sent to the Dongtou District Legal Aid Center (洞头区法律援助中心) in Wenzhou City (温州市), Zhejiang Province (浙江省). After review, the Legal Aid Center (法援中心) believed that Fang (方) was under the age of eighteen and had never entrusted a defender, which met the conditions for legal aid, and assigned Lin Hui (林辉), an experienced legal aid lawyer, to handle the case on the same day.
Through repeated meetings and phone calls, the legal aid lawyer finally established a relationship of trust with Fang (方), and key details such as "slippery ground," "classmates egging him on," and "accidental fall" also emerged. "Although this case caused minor injury consequences, Fang's (方) subjective malice was small, the circumstances of the crime were significantly minor, and he was a first-time offender and an occasional offender, which met the circumstances of 'significantly minor circumstances, not serious harm, and not considered a crime' as stipulated in the Criminal Procedure Law." Lin Hui (林辉) believed that adhering to the principle of "education-based, punishment-based" and striving for non-criminalization treatment was the best solution.
In addition to the case itself, it is very important whether the minor has learned a lesson, whether he can admit his mistake and repent, and actively compensate. In March 2025, a joint mediation was launched, presided over by the People's Mediation Committee, with the participation of legal aid lawyers, public security police, and schools. Both explaining the law and reasoning, and moving with emotion, with the joint efforts of everyone, the parties concerned smoothly reached an agreement on compensation and signed a settlement agreement. Later, Fang (方) and his parents also took the initiative to go to the hospital and solemnly apologized to Zeng (曾) in front of the hospital bed, and finally obtained the sincere understanding of Zeng (曾) and his family.
In the end, the public security organs comprehensively considered the circumstances of the entire case and made a decision to revoke the case in accordance with the law, and Fang's (方) life was able to return to the right track.
Caring for the growth of minors, legal aid is in action. Since the Ministry of Justice (司法部) deployed and launched the "Legal Aid Escort" special action in 2024, judicial administrative organs at all levels have taken it as an important measure to strengthen the prevention and governance of juvenile delinquency, and the number of legal aid cases for minors has continued to increase.
Deepen the Governance of the Network Ecology--
Special Actions to Rectify Chaos
By Jin Xin (金歆), reporter of this newspaper
One day last year, Lin (林), a middle school student in Chengdu (成都), Sichuan (四川), posted a photo of her "support" in a "celebrity super topic" on a platform. Unexpectedly, in the following days, she was harassed offline by fans of the celebrity's "opponent."
It turned out that when Lin (林) posted the photo, she accidentally photographed the unmarked homework book. Enlarging the photo, information such as her school, class, and name were clearly visible. The "opponent" fans used this information to locate the address of Lin's (林) home.
Lin's (林) parents then reported to the Cyberspace Administration (网信) and other departments and reported the case to the public security organs. The relevant illegal personnel were immediately dealt with, and the platform also closed the hot search topic in a timely manner under the guidance of the Cyberspace Administration (网信部门), and closed the relevant accounts in accordance with the law.
The "opening box" encountered by Lin (林) is a network illegal act involving the disclosure of minors' privacy. Minors have strong social needs and often "show off" their lives online, and the risk of encountering "opening boxes" also needs to be paid more attention to.
In recent years, in the face of various network chaos involving minors, the Cyberspace Administration (网信) and other departments have taken timely measures and continued to carry out in-depth rectification with the help of special actions such as "Qinglang":
Last year, the Central Cyberspace Administration (中央网信办) carried out the "Qinglang 2024 Summer Special Action for Rectifying the Network Environment for Minors," focusing on rectifying the chaos of "opening boxes and hanging people" targeting minors, and cumulatively cleaned up and intercepted more than 4.3 million illegal and bad information involving minors, disposed of more than 130,000 accounts, and closed and removed more than 2,000 websites and platforms. During the special action, the Cyberspace Administration (网信部门) in various places conducted in-depth investigations of "opening boxes and hanging people" problems in links such as "campus walls" and "message boards," verified relevant clues, and disbanded and closed topics, super topics, and post bars that provided "hanging people" services;
In the first four months of this year, the Cyberspace Administration (网信部门) focused on rectifying the chaos of profiting from the image of minors, and disposed of more than 11,000 illegal accounts based on reports from netizens;
The "Qinglang 2025 Summer Special Action for Rectifying the Network Environment for Minors" in July this year will rectify four aspects of problems: network infringement, covert dissemination of illegal and bad information, inducing dangerous offline activities, and profiting from the image of minors;
…………
The relevant person in charge of the Central Cyberspace Administration (中央网信办) said that all sectors of society and the general public should take action to jointly resist the chaos of online minors and jointly create a safe and healthy network environment.

Recently, the Supreme People's Court (最高人民法院) and the Supreme People's Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) jointly released typical cases of punishing corruption crimes around the masses in accordance with the law, revealing how "micro-power" is alienated, leading to "micro-corruption" that infringes on the vital interests of the masses. This is not only a demonstration of the judicial organs wielding their swords in accordance with the law and continuously fighting corruption, but also a profound warning to learn from cases and promote governance.
"Fly corruption and ant corruption," the harm of which is like a tiger. From falsely reporting and receiving old-age subsidies to intercepting and misappropriating people's medical insurance funds; from "skimming oil" from students' nutritious meals to reaching out for the托管财物 of disabled people, these corruptions that occur under the noses of the masses directly hinder the "last mile" of pro-people policies, distort the fair distribution of public resources, erode the foundation of grassroots governance, and seriously damage the credibility of the Party and the government. They often wear the guise of "favor exchanges," "operational practices," and even seemingly compliant transactions, making them highly concealed and deceptive. Precisely because of this, the governance of such corruption cannot stop at the investigation and handling of individual cases, but requires the use of the "scalpel" of the rule of law to accurately analyze its breeding mechanism and carry out systematic treatment and source prevention and control.
The cases released this time clearly outline the practical path of judicial organs using the rule of law to punish grassroots corruption. Adhere to strict compliance with the law to ensure that no one is wronged or let go. Whether it is accurately defining the public attributes of various funds, or insight into the essence of embezzlement behind "superficially compliant transactions," or accurately grasping sentencing circumstances, it reflects the principle of "basing on facts and taking the law as the criterion."
In many cases, the judicial organs not only accurately convicted and sentenced in accordance with the law, but also made every effort to recover illegal gains and maximize the protection of the property rights and interests of the state and the masses, demonstrating the practical effect of justice for the people. The judicial organs do not only handle cases as they are, but also promote special rectification through the issuance of judicial recommendations and procuratorial recommendations, and promote the upgrading of medical insurance fund supervision, centralized procurement of school meals, and standardized system construction of special group property托管, to achieve the effect of "handling one case and governing an area."
Eradicating the breeding ground for "fly corruption and ant corruption" is a protracted war. On the basis of existing achievements, it is necessary to further integrate the thinking of the rule of law into the whole process and all aspects of preventing and punishing corruption around the masses. Regulate the operation of "micro-power" with strict rule of law, closely monitor key points such as people's livelihood funds, project approval, and subsidy distribution, further refine the list of powers and operating procedures, and compress the space for discretionary power. Vigorously promote the openness of government affairs and village affairs, and use information technology to achieve full-process traceability and transparency of funds and projects, so that "fly corruption" has nowhere to start and "ant corruption" has nowhere to hide.
Build a "firewall" with rigid supervision and restriction. Promote the coordination and coordination of supervision methods such as intra-Party supervision, supervision by the supervisory commission, judicial supervision, and audit supervision to form a normalized and long-term supervision synergy. Activate the "nerve endings" of grassroots supervision and give play to the "probes" of mass supervision and public opinion supervision. While handling cases in accordance with the law, the judicial organs should pay more attention to discovering universal and trending problems from similar cases, put forward governance suggestions that are more preventive and fundamental, and promote the improvement of rules and the quality of supervision in related fields.
Cultivate the consciousness of "not wanting to be corrupt" with a culture that respects the law and advocates integrity. Continue to strengthen the legal education and integrity education of grassroots cadres, make good use of typical cases to deepen warning education, and make knowing, respecting, and abiding by the law a conscious action. At the same time, vigorously promote a culture of integrity and create a clean and upright grassroots political ecology and social atmosphere.
Rectifying corruption around the masses is a matter of popular support. Only by always adhering to the thinking of the rule of law and adhering to the method of the rule of law, while severely punishing and forming deterrence, paying more attention to strengthening supervision and restriction, improving the system mechanism, and cultivating a culture of integrity, and promoting the integrated advancement of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt, can we eradicate the soil for the survival of "fly corruption and ant corruption," so that a clean and upright atmosphere fills the grassroots and the fruits of reform and development benefit all people more and more fairly.

"Be careful when you receive a 'relative asking for help' phone call, and be cautious when remitting money..." During the break of the "Village BA" basketball game in Taijiang County (台江县), Guizhou, legal popularization volunteers performed legal popularization skits for the audience. This scene is part of the Guizhou Provincial Law Society's 2025 Youth Legal Popularization Volunteer Legal Culture Grassroots Campaign (hereinafter referred to as "Grassroots Campaign") activities. In recent years, the Guizhou Provincial Law Society has taken the Grassroots Campaign as a key measure to promote the construction of a society ruled by law and enhance citizens' legal literacy, guiding the vast number of legal scholars and practitioners to take root in the grassroots, serve the masses, and create a strong atmosphere of legal culture.
To deeply cultivate socialist legal culture at the grassroots level, it is necessary to weave a dense network of legal culture positions.
In Huajiao Village (花脚村), Langdai Town (郎岱镇), Liuzhi Special Zone (六枝特区), Liupanshui City (六盘水市), there is a Buyi ethnic-style pavilion and corridor. Now it has an added function, becoming a "mediation station" for disputes.
"The household next to mine is building a house and repairing a wall, and it looks like it will block my window. Can I ask him to leave space for my window to get light?" "According to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, the owners of adjacent houses shall provide convenience for ventilation, lighting, and passage to the adjacent persons when constructing houses."
Every Wednesday, a legal popularization mediation team composed of local law society members, veteran party members, and "legal明白人" (legal mingbai ren - "people who understand the law") sit together with villagers to popularize legal knowledge and mediate conflicts in a "chatting" manner, focusing on common problems such as marital conflicts, bride price disputes, and emotional entanglements.
The Guizhou Provincial Law Society has formulated documents such as the "Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Legal Culture Positions of the Guizhou Provincial Law Society," and in conjunction with the Grassroots Campaign, it has tailored legal positions such as legal corridors, legal gardens, and legal squares around the masses, according to the different needs of communities, schools, scenic spots, and other places, integrating legal culture elements into daily scenes.
The Grassroots Campaign should not only spread socialist legal culture well, but also spread the spirit of the rule of law in a way that the masses love to see and in a vivid form.
"Sign a contract when you go out to work, and clearly state your salary and social security; if a stranger calls you about money, hang up and find the police..." On the cultural square of a village in Huishui County (惠水县), Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (黔南布依族苗族自治州), legal-related lyrics spread with folk song tunes. At all levels in Guizhou, law societies have joined with relevant departments in the Grassroots Campaign to carry out legal cultural performances, integrating distinctive culture with legal publicity.
In the Grassroots Campaign, law societies at all levels in Guizhou Province also adhere to demand-driven principles, promoting the precise allocation of resources to areas of urgent need and concern for the masses, such as rural revitalization, enterprise assistance, and juvenile protection, to achieve deep integration of legal culture services and people's well-being. In the first half of 2025, law societies at all levels in Guizhou organized legal experts and members to provide legal consultation services to the masses more than 7,000 times, and promoted more than 15,000 members to enter comprehensive management centers, continuously promoting the integration of the spirit of the rule of law into social life and into the hearts of the people.

Which Hainan stories, unfolding like an epic scroll of light and shadow, linger in your memory? Are they the classic films "The Red Detachment of Women (红色娘子军)" and "Storms in the South Sea (南岛风云)," or the stories filmed in Hainan, such as "Lost in the Stars (消失的她)" and "No More Bets (孤注一掷)"?
At the recently held 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival, the theme of "Ocean Generates All, Light and Shadow are Boundless (海生万象 光影无垠)" ran throughout. From the collision of ideas in forums to the sharing of experiences in master classes, from the cultural resonance in the "Thailand Pavilion" to the image dialogue of the "Global South," the many voices at the film festival painted a new Hainan story.
This is an open window showcasing Chinese style.
Based on the "Hainan Narrative" of local culture, the "Ocean Film" that expands the blue territory, and the "Harbor Industry" that connects the world, this film festival proposed the "Three Seas" theme. Huangfu Yichuan (皇甫宜川), a researcher at the China Film Art Research Center, believes that the construction of the Free Trade Port and cross-cultural integration give the Hainan narrative a strong contemporary feel.
Reducing costs, lowering thresholds, reducing tax burdens, and reducing barriers, comprehensively improving service capabilities, and proactively laying out the innovation ecosystem of intellectual property... The policy dividends released by this film festival have attracted attention from all walks of life. The film and television industry, as an important carrier of the cultural industry, is ushering in new development opportunities in this open and hot land. Hainan is also transforming from a "being watched" tourist destination into a narrator who "actively tells" stories to the world.
"Hainan is by no means just a natural studio with sunshine and beaches." At the main forum of this film festival, Wang Bin (王斌), member of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department (宣传部), introduced that the land of Hainan is flowing with deep and profound cultural bloodlines. Historical culture, revolutionary culture, marine culture, and folk culture resources constitute the soul of Hainan's narrative, and the institutional innovation of the Free Trade Port is the industrial wing that carries these stories to the world.
This is a vibrant space for filmmakers to co-create the future.
"The film festival should play the role of a 'magnifying glass' and a 'seismograph'." The metaphor of Marco Müller (马可·穆勒), chairman of the "Golden Coconut Award (金椰奖)" jury, is meaningful. The film festival should not only magnify the delicate expression of image creation in each era, but also keenly capture the tidal trends of global film culture.
The "Golden Coconut Award (金椰奖)" jury of the main competition unit is composed of 13 well-known film practitioners from home and abroad; 4,564 films were submitted from 119 countries and regions, setting a new high for the number of films submitted to the Hainan Island International Film Festival; the Thailand Guest of Honor event was held, and director James Cameron held the Chinese premiere of "Avatar 3" in Sanya (三亚)... After 7 years of deep cultivation, the Hainan Island International Film Festival has continuously polished its distinct professional and international background, and has also been marked with the unique imprint of the Free Trade Port, becoming a vivid embodiment of Hainan and even China's open and inclusive attitude.
The "Green Coconut Plan (青椰计划)" is eye-catching. Through upgrading and transformation, "green coconuts" are expected to be cultivated into "golden coconuts." The "Green Coconut Plan (青椰计划)" launched in 2024 focuses on short film venture capital, and this film festival has built multiple sections such as "Green Coconut Academy (青椰学堂)," "Feature Film Venture Capital Conference (长片创投会)," and "Market Screening (市场放映)." In just one year, this venture capital brand independently cultivated by the Hainan Island International Film Festival has formed a result transformation chain of "campus creation - short film incubation - feature film venture capital - copyright transaction."
Also after a year, the "Hainan Shoot · Shoot Hainan (海南拍·拍海南)" one-stop digital service platform has been iteratively upgraded. It integrates the entire chain of functions such as policy intelligent matching, online application, provincial location library, professional film assistance services, equipment leasing, and talent docking; the newly created "AI+VR" dual-drive smart location scouting platform makes AI location scouting and VR scene painting a reality, and co-creation has a more solid digital infrastructure.
During this film festival, the "Haina Plan (海纳计划)" was officially signed and settled in the Overseas Returnees Town of Lingshui Li Autonomous County (陵水黎族自治县), and overseas young directors have a new dream incubation place. From the Changying Fantasy Paradise (长影奇幻乐园) in Haikou (海口) to the Digital Economy Industrial Park in Sanya (三亚), from the studio cluster on Ocean Flower Island (海花岛) in Danzhou (儋州) to the Overseas Returnees Town in Lingshui (陵水), the scenes of "Shooting in Hainan (拍海南)" are constantly enriched, and the industrial ecology of "Hainan Shoot (海南拍)" is becoming more and more mature.
This is also an important hub radiating the "Global South."
The best works from international film festivals such as Cannes and Venice gathered in Sanya (三亚), 9 Thai films were screened in a concentrated manner, cross-media flow, cross-cultural dialogue... Turning through the screening film list, narratives under different cultural backgrounds converge here. The film festival is not only a window for displaying the achievements of world films, but also a bridge connecting Chinese and ASEAN cultures.
From a geographical perspective, Hainan is located in the key route connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and is a bridgehead for entering the Chinese market. From a cultural perspective, Hainan has inextricable links with ASEAN countries. "All of this makes Hainan have the potential to become an important hub for promoting film and cultural exchanges among 'Global South' countries, and will also help Hainan stories go from the 'Three Seas' to all over the world," said Marco Müller (马可·穆勒).
At the film festival, Wang Haizhou (王海洲), Dean of the Graduate School of Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院), suggested exploring common themes in the region such as navigation and nostalgia, and finding emotional resonance across borders, "Through the universal language of images, rediscover and tell a mutually connected and continuously growing South China Sea story."
Sun Xianghui (孙向辉), President of the China Taiwan Hong Kong Film Research Association, released a research report at the main forum of the film festival, proposing that "In the recovery of the global film industry, the Asian film market in the 'Global South countries' continues to become the core growth pole of the global film industry with its diverse ecology and strong growth."
"The '15th Five-Year Plan' proposal proposes to implement the free trade zone upgrading strategy and build the Hainan Free Trade Port to a high standard. The Free Trade Port with a higher level of opening up will become a strong magnet for attracting global resources, and also a strategic fulcrum for film companies to go deep blue," said Fu Ruoqing (傅若清), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Film Group Corporation (中国电影集团公司).
The 7th Hainan Island International Film Festival has come to an end, and an extraordinary journey has been restarted. Taking advantage of the east wind of the Free Trade Port, more good stories will go to the world's screens.

The TV series "Crimes Against Humanity" meets the audience on the twelfth National Memorial Day for Nanjing Massacre Victims. Recalling last winter, we constructed the story of "Crimes Against Humanity" from massive amounts of data. What we saw and heard was appalling, like 万箭穿心 (wàn jiàn chuān xīn - "ten thousand arrows pierce the heart," extreme pain or grief). Those ironclad materials have long been sorted and integrated, forming a system of evidence, lying intact in the exhibition hall of the Exhibition Hall of Evidence of Crimes Committed by Unit 731 (侵华日军第七三一部队罪证陈列馆) of the Japanese Invading Army. Whether it was script creation, filming, or post-production, including myself, all participants in this drama felt drained, as if a scab that had finally formed was torn open again.
As descendants of the victims, we will always remember that period of history. But as descendants of the perpetrators, they don't even know that their nation once committed such crimes in other countries, let alone be vigilant.
The "Manzhou Unit 731 (满洲第731部队)" set up by the Kwantung Army (关东军) in Harbin (哈尔滨) is a typical microcosm of fascist militarism. Exposing it is to remind the world that war atrocities bred under the enslavement of extreme ideas do not treat anyone as human. Militaristic ideology is harmful to all mankind, but the liquidation of Japanese militarism is not thorough, and we must prevent it from making a comeback!
The primary task of creating "Crimes Against Humanity" is to respect historical facts. Especially in the process of extracting historical materials and integrating them into the story, we must remain calm and restrained. We must never 浅尝辄止 (qiǎn cháng zhé zhǐ - "taste and stop," to not delve deeply; to scratch the surface) or 见好就收 (jiàn hǎo jiù shōu - "stop when things are going well," to quit while one is ahead), and relevant materials from different angles corroborate each other to form a logical closed loop, so that the cornerstone of the play will be stable.
In narration, we must be wary of being led astray by techniques. Blindly pursuing contradictions, conflicts, coincidences, misunderstandings, and the pulling of character relationships can easily blur the theme expression. We must never deviate from the theme and intention for the sake of being "good-looking." TV series are a popular art, and filming should focus on using a variety of audiovisual languages. Some plots that cannot be skipped can appropriately use the audience's imagination to complete the narrative expression.
When a work is released, it is always intended to bring the audience in. Therefore, spatial scheduling, camera movement, editing gaze flow, music and sound effects, color grading, special effects, etc., must have the most basic audiovisual guarantees, but also avoid showing off skills.
It has been 80 years since the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. With the prosperity of the country and the rise of the nation, our literary and artistic works should be more confident and open. Today, when audiences have seen enough narratives of suffering and expressions of anger, literary and artistic creation should go further and speak from the perspective of caring for all mankind. Previous related theme works mostly adopted the perspective of "experimentees." In this way, the exposure of crimes can only stay on violence and "cruel experiments." For this reason, the National Radio and Television Administration (国家广电总局) has organized many rounds of argumentation, making it our creative premise to fully expose Unit 731 (七三一部队).
Not only should we present Unit 731 (七三一部队), but also reveal the logical chain behind its crimes against humanity, including its hardware scale, organizational structure, medical support, and military purpose. This is the part that "Crimes Against Humanity" focuses on. I believe that only by sufficiently three-dimensionally "disassembling" Unit 731 (七三一部队) and thoroughly exposing the full picture of its crimes can we further dissect the aggressive nature of Japanese militarism, tell the world about this "national criminal behavior" covered up in the long river of history, and bring warnings to how to better maintain world peace today.
"Crimes Against Humanity" adopts a multi-line narrative approach. This unconventional method has become the biggest difficulty in the creation of this drama. In "Devil's Gluttony" written by Seiichi Morimura (森村诚一), we found a draftsman who drew explanatory diagrams of the "human experiment" process for Unit 731 (七三一部队). His perspective will lead the audience to understand what Unit 731 (七三一部队) was doing and how it was doing it. We also found a documentary director who filmed a lecture film on "Ishii Ceramic Bombs" for Shirō Ishii (石井四郎) in order to seek more financial allocations. His perspective will lead the audience to understand why Unit 731 (七三一部队) appeared and the ambition behind it.
The drama also incorporates the perspectives of more ordinary people. Changfu Tong (佟长富), played by Qilin Jiang (江奇霖), is a typical image of the people of Northeast China, with the most simple understanding of good and evil, and is a microcosm of thousands of ordinary people at that time. At first, he was just an ordinary person who wanted to save his life. After witnessing all this, he became a member of the anti-Japanese resistance. He embodies the spirit of resistance of the Chinese people. All the attempts at innovation and all the efforts are to truthfully restore the criminal nature of Japanese militarism.
The end of each episode of "Crimes Against Humanity" is a historical recording, and each recording is ironclad evidence. Today, tracing and even accusations are still ongoing, but still to no avail. We can only take the "ending without an ending" as the ending of the whole drama. "Crimes Against Humanity" adopts a dual-time and space expression method because we believe that exposing Unit 731 (七三一部队) is far from enough to only write about the past. The current international situation is chaotic and intertwined, and the right-wing forces in Japan continue to rise. In the play, Shirō Ishii (石井四郎) bewitches his subordinates to sell their lives for militarism; in reality, the perpetrators have not apologized or confessed their guilt.
In order to prevent history from repeating itself, the alarm bell must ring forever!

The development of musicals in China is only 30 years short. The "Chinese style" of musicals in my mind is that our Chinese authors use our life experiences, emotional pulses, and cultural characteristics to create emotional connections with audiences around the world, and use musicals to tell our stories.
My favorite movie is *Heroic Sons and Daughters*. Every time I finished watching it, I, as a little kid, would carry a pesticide bucket with branches inserted in it and climb onto the wheat stack, shouting Wang Cheng's classic line to the children in the whole wheat field: "For victory, fire at me!" The musical *Looking for Li Ergou* originated from my dream of being a hero.
In 2019, I spent two months writing a scene, which tells the story of Chang Weiguo helping his grandfather Chang Zhisheng send a medal to his comrade Li Ergou, and tells the story of a young hero's growth through time and space reversal. In October 2020, I read the book *The Thirty-Ninth Army in Korea* and decided to set the story in the period of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, using the local perspective of a combat class of the 116th Division of the Thirty-Ninth Army to unfold the story, and officially began to create the script for *Looking for Li Ergou*. Starting in 2022, I began to look for investors and producers for the work, and finally reached a cooperation with China Oriental Performing Arts Group (中国东方演艺集团), which has been continuously launching original masterpieces in recent years, which also attracted many excellent actors to join, from conception to the stage.
Why fight this war? If you were on the battlefield, what would you choose? We not only want to discuss the theme of anti-war through Chang Weiguo (常卫国), Li Ergou (李二狗), Xiu'er (秀儿), Chang Zhisheng (常志胜), and every soldier in the Second Class of the Fourth Company, but also through Chang Weiguo's final choice, we will lead the theme to "the past they used their lives to fight for our present, and now we must use determination and tenacity to fight for our future," and finally give the audience a clear answer: "Fight!"
*Looking for Li Ergou* is an ensemble drama that cuts in from the perspective of contemporary characters. I decided to organize the composition in the style of modern pop music. The "seeds of inspiration" are elements of modern Chinese music - opera, Yimeng Mountain (沂蒙山) minor tunes, Shaanbei (陕北) folk songs, national opera, and Russian minor tunes, all of which play important musical roles in *Looking for Li Ergou*.
"I heard from my grandfather that he was cheerful and like a ball of fire, he was sometimes quiet and didn't talk much, his eyes revealed firmness and persistence in gentleness." The four lines of lyrics run through the theme of "searching" from beginning to end, from searching for a person to searching for a spirit, and then to searching for oneself, a theme that realizes a three-stage drama promotion.
"He has a pair of hardworking and powerful hands, he has a hard bone that is not afraid of losing, he always believes that the vast universe has the freedom in his heart that needs to be defended..." The theme uses 8 lines of lyrics, which are hammered at the climax of the ending of the upper and lower acts. At the end of the first act, the theme is "He is such a young man", and at the end of the whole play, the theme is "We are all such young people".
Expanding time and space is like finding the key. I use the form of "direct stage occurrence" to dilute the cliché of the time-travel drama. The opening song *The Bugle* "breaks through" time and space on the stage. The modern young man Chang Weiguo and the soldiers of the Second Class of the Fourth Company appear on the stage at the same time, realizing multi-temporal narration. *The Bugle* uses a march rhythm plus rock music orchestration. In the music with a strong sense of progress, Chang Weiguo holds a memoir of his grandfather and takes the audience closer to the soldiers of the Second Class of the Fourth Company: Liu Yazi (刘伢子), the deputy squad leader who wants to be the squad leader, "Big Guy" (大个儿) who misses Xiaofang (小芳), "Kuaiban'er" (快板儿) who likes folk art, Tie Hanhan (铁憨憨) Ga Wa (尕娃), "Little Sichuan" (小四川), Tie Niu (铁牛)... Impressionism and realism are synchronized. After introducing the group portrait of the Second Class of the Fourth Company, Chang Weiguo directly proposes the core dramatic task of the whole play: looking for Li Ergou. With the misplaced identity recognition of the young grandfather Chang Zhisheng and Chang Weiguo, the old grandfather appears and uses a song *Gunsmoke* to introduce the story's premise: the comrades who disappeared on Highland 187 more than 70 years ago.
How to use music to segment and establish audiovisuals? The fourth paragraph is the battle scene of the final climax blocking battle. What happened that day? How did Li Ergou save his grandfather? What choice will Chang Weiguo make at the end of the story? These questions will be solved one by one in the *Blocking Battle* singing section. I treat this battle as a set of layered recitatives. First, use four chapter singing sections to highlight the performance of the soldiers of the Second Class of the Fourth Company in this battle, and then return to the grandfather's theme at the climax of the singing section: "That day, there was smoke and gunfire, we guarded the position against the enemy's ninth attack..." The opening scene of the story is replayed again, but this scene is not like the grandfather described, Li Ergou was shot and fell when he picked up the blasting tube and rushed out of the position. In the tinnitus, Chang Weiguo and the soldiers of the Second Class of the Fourth Company watched Li Ergou being shot, and the theme of *Blocking Battle* returned to the theme of *The Poem I Couldn't Understand*: the soldiers of the Second Class of the Fourth Company fell in response... Chang Weiguo sang Li Ergou's theme: "I pushed open the half-closed door, facing the chaotic and disordered world in the chaos, I looked up and ran wildly in the darkness, the smoke of war is in the north, I will set off immediately..."
At the end of the story, the audience saw that only Grandpa Chang Zhisheng returned from the Second Class of the Fourth Company. This detail contradicted what Grandpa wrote in his memoirs: "The Second Class of the Fourth Company all came back, only Li Ergou was not found." Who is sleeping on that land? Who returned to the motherland with victory? Is this Chang Weiguo's time travel or a dream of his grandfather's?
"Is it my imagination, or am I walking into the theater..." With the encore song, I hope that when the audience walks out of the theater, they can remember that history, those people, and themselves sitting in the theater with a bright heart.

The re-release of the movie "Mountains May Depart" ("Shan He Gu Ren") after 10 years has exceeded expectations at the box office. Details and scenes from TV series such as "Journey to the West" ("Xi You Ji") and "Romantic Relationship" ("Fu Mu Ai Qing") have been almost obsessively analyzed by netizens. In this era of scarce attention, what makes old films and TV series "go viral" again?
First, they establish narrative trust with the audience. Short videos have a climax approximately every 5 seconds, and micro-dramas often have a dramatic reversal every 10 seconds. Nowadays, traffic logic and algorithm technology are mass-producing "electronic fast food." In contrast, the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" has 25 episodes and took 6 years to film; the screenwriter of "Romantic Relationship" rejected the ratings advice of "a conflict every three to five minutes" and insisted that the work "even if it cannot carry morality and the Way, at least it does not carry nonsense." This kind of creation, measured with footsteps and precipitated by life, has created a solid narrative and vivid characters. These works are slow to produce, slow in pace, and slow in emotional development... The "slowness" of every bit accumulates the audience's sense of trust in the narrative. The audience believes that the life dilemmas in them are real, the characters' emotions are genuine, and the ending of the story is worth looking forward to. This is precisely what many works that pursue "instant gratification" lack. Tricks may win temporary traffic, but only sincerity can win time.
Second, they create a space for empathy for the audience. Whenever an old film is re-released, the most common sentiment is "I couldn't understand it ten years ago, but now I understand I am one of the characters in the film." Film and television dramas are not just echoes of the past, but a flowing mirror, reflecting the changes of the times and people. Every re-release and revisit is a renewed dialogue between the classics and the present. What the audience salvages in the light and shadow is actually their own life experience. In "Mountains May Depart" ("Shan He Gu Ren"), the "Tao'er" and "Jinsheng" of Fenyang (汾阳), Shanxi (山西) in the story interact with "my ten years" in front of the screen, and the work evolves from a closed creative text into a space for empathy connecting individuals and the times. The growth philosophy of tempering the mind in "Journey to the West" ("Xi You Ji") and the wisdom of long-lasting life in "Romantic Relationship" ("Fu Mu Ai Qing") have become an indispensable spiritual substitute in the present. The audience communicates in the barrage, which is essentially participating in a collective re-creation across time and space - classic works build the stage, and the audience is the real performer.
Young people's enthusiasm for film and television "archaeology" is also a reminder to current creations. When we over-rely on big data to piece together "popular formulas," blur the artistic rules of character shaping with traffic effects, and replace the essence of life with trending topics, the audience will naturally turn to find those old stories that are "sincerely clumsy" and "not in a hurry to please the audience."
The media will continue to update, but good stories will always need solid details, vivid characters, and sincere expression. This is the secret of why good stories are not afraid of time and will always "go viral" again at some point in the future.

The sound of gongs and drums is loud, and the strings are melodious. Li Yuexian (李月仙), an 85-year-old famous Jin opera artist, opened her voice, and a classic excerpt from "Chun Qiu Bi" (《春秋笔》) came out with a tactful sound. The mellow singing and steady figure brought the audience into the unique artistic conception of Jin opera, winning applause from the audience.
As a representative inheritor of the Jin opera, a national intangible cultural heritage project, Li Yuexian has been in the art for more than 70 years. She integrates her love and dedication to this ancient opera into every lyric and every gesture.
"I came to Taiyuan (太原) to learn opera at the age of 10. How could I understand what love is? It was all for a meal." Whenever she recalls the beginning of her opera learning, Li Yuexian still has that simplicity and sincerity.
That year, Li Yuexian took her mother's hand and came to Taiyuan (太原), the provincial capital, from the countryside. She lost her father at the age of two and tasted the feeling of living under someone else's roof. Her mother was weak and it was difficult to find a livelihood in Taiyuan (太原). She took her around to beg, and finally found Ma Zhaolin (马兆麟), a senior Jin opera artist, and started her artistic career.
Before dawn, Li Yuexian followed her master to the city wall to practice her voice. The biting north wind made her cheeks ache, but she clenched her fists and dared not stop. Back in the yard, she kicked her legs and bent her waist, and her sweat soaked her coarse cloth clothes, but she never complained. "I don't know what art is, I only know that if you do it, you have to do it well." This most simple original intention helped her knock on the door of Jin opera art.
In a few years, the master only taught Li Yuexian a play called "Guan Zhen" (《观阵》). In 1954, Li Yuexian stood on the stage for the first time, her palms sweating nervously. According to the moves taught by the teacher, she completed the performance step by step. After the performance, she hid in the backstage, uneasy, until the master took out some change and asked her to buy some food, and her hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
At the age of 17, Li Yuexian starred in "Sheng Si Pai" (《生死牌》). Watching her predecessors win applause on the stage, she had the idea of "becoming a star" for the first time. This yearning turned into a fierce effort in practicing. On the empty stage after the show, she always pondered the moves alone until late at night. Hard work and dedication made her leg skills particularly outstanding among her peers.
The master often used words to encourage her: "If I give you a piece of gold, you can eat and dress warmly now, but it will always be spent. I teach you how to sing opera, and you can rely on it for a lifetime." From then on, the belief that "opera is more precious than gold" quietly replaced the original intention of "singing opera for a living," and the duty of "doing a line" began to evolve into the enthusiasm of "loving a line."
At this time, fate gave her a problem. Li Yuexian sang continuously in a theater for forty or fifty days to meet the expectations of the audience. "At that time, the common people had no other entertainment. 'Sheng Si Pai' (《生死牌》) was a new type of opera, and everyone loved to watch it, so I sang desperately." However, seventeen or eighteen years old was the critical period for the voice to change. Excessive use of the voice completely ruined her voice. "The high notes couldn't go up, the low notes couldn't go down, and only the middle notes were left. At that time, I felt that my theatrical career was completely over."
It was not until the 1980s that Li Yuexian crossed the river by feeling the stones and slowly explored a singing method that combined true and false sounds. "When singing 'San Guan Dian Shuai' (《三关点帅》), I tried to make the voice a little more virtual and not use the vocal cords hard. I slowly found the law and managed to 'save' my voice." Li Yuexian innovated on the basis of inheriting the Ma (马) school of art and created her own vocal characteristics.
This "saved" artistic life made Li Yuexian no longer satisfied with "completing the performance." From then on, she took the inheritance and innovation of Jin opera on her shoulders and always pondered how to make the characters more vivid.
When performing "Qi Wang La Ma" (《齐王拉马》), Li Yuexian broke the solemn stereotype of Xusheng (须生, male role with beard) and borrowed the suave gestures of Xiaosheng (小生, young male role), making Jin opera light comedy more vivid. When performing "Shen Gong Qing Hen" (《深宫情恨》), she used her agile eyes to shape the innocence of a 16-year-old boy, and then used her dazed and alienated behavior to interpret the loneliness of 16 years of monasticism, giving the character emotional tension across time and space. Even when performing Dong Xuan (董宣) in "Wo Hu Ling" (《卧虎令》), she also absorbed the powerful singing method of Hualian (花脸, painted-face role) and took the initiative to suggest to the director to add singing sections, so that the character shaping of Jin opera had a more profound artistic expression.
"No skill, no art, but performing arts depends on understanding." Li Yuexian knows that inheritance is not about sticking to the rules. Only by letting the characters take root in life and fit the audience can Jin opera gain a foothold in the times.
In her 40s, Li Yuexian began to accept apprentices and teach art, and has trained more than 20 Jin opera talents. Before accepting apprentices, she always considers two points: first, whether the character is upright, and second, whether the basic skills are solid.
"The traditional skills of Jin opera cannot be lost, and the scope of the play should be broadened." When teaching students, she often stays in the rehearsal hall, and if she hears someone singing out of tune, she immediately steps forward to give guidance. "I hope that the current Jin opera actors pay attention to basic skills, inherit some of the techniques of Shanxi Bangzi (山西梆子) in the past, and then combine them with the times and keep pace with the times. The vitality of Jin opera is always hidden in the balance of 坚守 (jiān shǒu - "sticking to," to firmly adhere to) and 应变 (yìng biàn - "adapting to changes," to adapt to changing circumstances)."
Today, Li Yuexian's students have become pillars of the troupe, and some teach in art schools. Jin opera is passed down from generation to generation under her words and deeds.
From a rural girl who "learned opera for a meal" to the current leader of the Ma (马) school of Jin opera Xusheng (须生), Li Yuexian's life has never been separated from Jin opera. More than 70 years in the art, this leap from career to cause, from survival to dream, is a vivid footnote to the continuation of Jin opera's cultural heritage.
