We extend our warm congratulations on the success of the conference!
This was a conference that held high the banner, united hearts and minds, sought truth and was pragmatic, and united and forged ahead. During the conference, Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other Party and state leaders attended the opening and closing sessions of the conference, visited the committee members attending the conference, participated in joint group discussions, and broadly listened to opinions and suggestions.

The success of the conference contributed wisdom and strength to promoting a good start and a good beginning for the "15th Five-Year Plan," fully demonstrating the vigorous vitality of China's whole-process people's democracy and the significant political advantages of the CPPCC.
2026 is the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." Looking back at the magnificent journey, our Party has united and led the people to create world-renowned development achievements, especially the successful conclusion of the "14th Five-Year Plan." China's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength, and comprehensive national strength have reached new levels, laying a solid foundation for achieving the goal of basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035 as determined by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Practice eloquently proves that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is an irreversible historical trend that no one can stop. Entering a critical period of consolidating the foundation and fully exerting efforts to basically realize socialist modernization, it is particularly necessary to maintain strategic focus, enhance confidence in victory, gather tremendous strength, and move forward step by step. 锐始者必图其终 (ruì shǐ zhě bì tú qí zhōng - "those who start sharply must plan for the end," a good beginning is half the battle). 成功者先计于始 (chéng gōng zhě xiān jì yú shǐ - "successful people first plan at the beginning," success depends on careful planning from the start). Fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, focus on promoting high-quality development, adhere to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, implement more proactive and effective macroeconomic policies, promote the effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth of the economy, and maintain social harmony and stability, we will surely achieve a good start for the "15th Five-Year Plan."
The CPPCC is a great achievement of the Communist Party of China in combining the Marxist-Leninist theory of the united front, the theory of political parties, and the theory of democratic politics with China's specific realities and with China's outstanding traditional culture. It is a great creation of the Communist Party of China in leading the democratic parties, non-party figures, people's organizations, and people from all ethnic groups and all sectors of society in the political system. Facing the future, the CPPCC must adhere to using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era (习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想) to strengthen its soul, adhere to the organic combination of Party leadership, the united front, and consultative democracy, and earnestly shoulder the political responsibility of implementing the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the requirements for the work of the CPPCC, and of gathering the wisdom and strength of Chinese sons and daughters at home and abroad, so as to make new and greater contributions to creating a new situation in the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
Developing whole-process people's democracy is an essential requirement of Chinese-style modernization. As an important component of whole-process people's democracy, consultative democracy is a unique form and unique advantage of China's socialist democratic politics, and an important embodiment of the Party's mass line in the political field. Striving forward in the "15th Five-Year Plan," adhering to the mutual connection between promoting democracy and enhancing unity, and the two-way effort of offering advice and suggestions and building consensus, giving full play to the role of the CPPCC as an important channel for socialist consultative democracy and a specialized consultative body, improving the level of in-depth consultation and interaction, full expression of opinions, and broad consensus-building, and coming up with methods, consensus, feelings, and unity in consultation, we will surely better transform China's political advantages and institutional advantages into national governance effectiveness and development advantages, and promote major breakthroughs in strategic tasks concerning the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization.
At present, China's development is facing an increasing number of uncertain and unpredictable factors. To achieve the established goals and overcome risks and challenges, it is necessary to broadly gather popular support, consensus, wisdom, and strength for advancing Chinese-style modernization. The CPPCC must closely focus on the central tasks of the Party and the country, give play to the advantages of talent gathering and intellectual concentration, focus on the implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" outline to conduct in-depth consultative political discussions, actively offer advice and suggestions, carry out democratic supervision, conduct in-depth investigations and research on major issues such as building a modern industrial system, developing new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions, and building a healthy China, put forward practical and useful countermeasures and suggestions, better serve scientific decision-making and effective policy implementation with high-quality consultation and high-level suggestions, improve the working mechanism for giving play to the political role of the united front in gathering popular support and pooling strength, and focus on drawing the largest concentric circle for building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
Starting from spring, moving towards hope. Let us unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, deeply understand the decisive significance of the "Two Establishments" and resolutely achieve the "Two Safeguards," forge ahead with determination and courage, ensure that decisive progress is made in basically realizing socialist modernization, and jointly draw a new picture of Chinese-style modernization.

With the spring breeze sending warmth, all things are renewed.
On the morning of March 11, more than 2,000 members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from 34 sectors gathered again in the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂) to attend the closing meeting of the Fourth Session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee.
Inside the central hall of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), many members exchanged their experiences of participating in the meeting before it started.
"General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that building a healthy China is a systematic project." Jin Li (金李), Vice President of Southern University of Science and Technology (南方科技大学) and a member of the CPPCC National Committee, said, "Artificial intelligence has great potential in solving the pain points of elderly care services, and is expected to realize the transformation of health management for the elderly from 'passive response' to 'active prevention'."
"The draft outline of the '15th Five-Year Plan' takes the optimization and upgrading of services for the elderly and children as an important content, which is a vivid embodiment of the people-centered development thought." Du Haifeng (杜海峰), a professor at the School of Public Policy and Administration of Xi'an Jiaotong University (西安交通大学), said, "I will continue to play the role of a bridge and link, and bring tangible gains to the people with higher quality performance of duties."
Inside the auditorium of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), the lights were bright and the atmosphere was solemn and warm.

The real economy and modern service industries connect a large number of small and medium-sized merchants, which is an important channel for stabilizing employment. Ding Zuohong (丁佐宏), Chairman of the Board of Yuexing Group (月星集团), said: "Stabilizing employment and increasing income are concrete practices of enterprises implementing the concept of 'investing in people.' We will combine our own development to contribute to stabilizing employment."

Secretariat of the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会)
March 11, 2026
(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing (北京), March 11)
By: 金社平
The accelerated evolution of a century of changes and the regional situation affecting people's hearts, the Chinese "Two Sessions" in the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan" have attracted global attention.
Deliberating the government work report, reviewing the draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan," deliberating the draft ecological environment code, the draft law on promoting ethnic unity and progress, and the draft national development plan law... Item by item on the agenda, bill by bill, proposal by proposal, and suggestion by suggestion, they converge into a powerful force for advancing Chinese-style modernization, demonstrating to the world China's firm strength in stable development.
Looking back on the past, from the foundation laid by the "First Five-Year Plan" to the conclusion of the "14th Five-Year Plan," China has leaped from poverty and blankness to become the world's second-largest economy in a continuous struggle to draw a blueprint to the end, creating a miracle in the history of human development. China's own development stability and certainty have brought tremendous positive energy and injected valuable stability into a world full of uncertainty.
Looking to the future, from the pragmatic measures in the government work report, the grand blueprint of the "15th Five-Year Plan," to the improvement of the national legal system, the unique advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics are becoming increasingly prominent, and will contribute Chinese strength and Chinese wisdom to global development consistently and as always.
(I)
The stable and developing China demonstrates the strategic determination to "move forward firmly step by step."
A 5% increase in domestic production, with a total of 140.19 trillion yuan; overall stable employment, with 12.67 million new urban jobs... The 2025 Chinese economic and social development report card released at the National People's Congress (全国两会) is particularly eye-catching in a world environment intertwined with changes and chaos.
Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, facing the complex and volatile international situation and the arduous and heavy domestic reform, development, and stability tasks, people of all ethnic groups across the country have worked hard and diligently, the "14th Five-Year Plan" has come to a successful conclusion, and Chinese-style modernization has taken new and solid steps.
Yu Village (余村) in Anji County (安吉县), Zhejiang Province (浙江省), the birthplace of the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets," Wang Yucheng (汪玉成), the village party branch secretary and village committee director, brought heavy new achievements to the National People's Congress (全国两会) -
During this year's Spring Festival, Yu Village (余村) deeply cultivated the integrated development path of "culture + tourism," carefully creating characteristic scenes such as folk experience and ecological research, and received more than 80,000 tourists, driving the village's collective economic income to more than 6 million yuan.
From a mining village that once "sold stones" for survival to a happy village that now "sells scenery" for development, Yu Village's (余村) transformation is a vivid portrayal of the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" taking root, flourishing, and is also an epitome of China's development in the new era.
Moving forward under pressure, moving towards the new and the excellent, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China wrote a brilliant chapter of high-quality development. Facing 2026 and the next five years, this year's government work report proposes to promote the effective improvement of the quality and the reasonable growth of the quantity of the economy, maintain social harmony and stability, and achieve a good start to the "15th Five-Year Plan"; the draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes 20 major indicators, closely focusing on high-quality development, clarifying major tasks, and ensuring that decisive progress is made in basically realizing socialist modernization.
Looking at the total economic volume, China's economy during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period has delivered a bright answer sheet. China's domestic production has continuously crossed the 110 trillion yuan, 120 trillion yuan, 130 trillion yuan, and 140 trillion yuan mark, with an average annual growth of 5.4%, significantly higher than the global average growth rate, demonstrating the strong resilience and huge potential of the Chinese economy. The government work report proposes that in 2026, "economic growth will be 4.5%-5%, and strive for better results in actual work," anchoring the goal and injecting certainty into the economic development of the whole year.
Looking at the quality of development, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, a number of major and key core technology breakthroughs have achieved practical results, laying a solid foundation for industrial transformation and upgrading. The government work report proposes to seize the historical opportunities of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and comprehensively enhance independent innovation capabilities. This provides more powerful technological support for high-quality development.
Looking at people's well-being, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the per capita disposable income of residents increased by an average of 5.4% annually, and the cumulative number of new urban jobs exceeded 60 million. "Adhere to the people's livelihood as the top priority, and strengthen inclusive, basic, and guaranteed people's livelihood construction"... The people's livelihood measures proposed in the government work report convey the clear guidance of the Party and the government to increase people's well-being with greater efforts, demonstrating the governing philosophy of "what the people expect is where the government is headed."
From "national affairs" to "small things around us," the draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" involves all aspects of economic and social development. The draft outline of the plan proposes "significant achievements in high-quality development," "a significant increase in the level of scientific and technological self-reliance," "new breakthroughs in further comprehensively deepening reform," and "continuous improvement in the quality of people's lives"... This series of deployments is based on the present, looks to the long term, and draws a grand blueprint for China's economy to move towards "new," outlining a clear vein for the high-quality development of China's economy.
The international community believes that the long-termism orientation and overall coordination wisdom demonstrated in the outline of the plan will provide a solid guarantee for coping with the complex international environment and resisting external risks and challenges. At the same time, the promulgation and implementation of a series of important laws will further improve the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics and provide escort for high-quality development.
Maintaining strategic focus, China, which is moving forward firmly step by step, adheres to high-quality development unswervingly, focuses on building a new development pattern, and has embarked on a steady development path that is in stark contrast to other major economies in the world.
(II)
The stable and developing China is an important source of power and a stable anchor for world economic growth.
Not long ago, during German Chancellor Merz's visit to China, he flew to Hangzhou (杭州) with a business delegation composed of about 30 senior executives from leading German companies, entered a private technology company established only 10 years ago, and watched robot performances on the spot.
This scene is frozen, a vivid moment left in the changing global industrial landscape - "Made in Germany" is the benchmark of global industry, and is a model and reference for "Made in China" to learn with concentration; now, this industrial textbook is opening a new page.
Since the beginning of 2026, the world has witnessed "China fever," and the global business community has turned its attention to China, seeking cooperation opportunities and sharing development dividends. Behind the "go to China" is the global business community's full confidence in China's economic prospects, and even more so the strong attraction released by China's stable development.
Today's Made in China has completed a brilliant leap from following, running in parallel, to leading in many fields, and has achieved a high-quality development curve overtaking with hard-core strength.
The world's eyes on China have changed.
Many foreign company executives admitted frankly: "Missing China is tantamount to missing out on future growth opportunities." Against the background of weak world economic recovery, China is becoming a key force leading world economic development with its stable growth towards the new and the excellent.
From the perspective of development momentum, China's scientific and technological strength is increasing day by day, becoming a global source of innovation.
During the Spring Festival Gala, humanoid robots "showed off their skills in groups," becoming a top stream hotly discussed on the entire network; at the National People's Congress (全国两会), many foreign media reporters wore Chinese AI glasses to complete translation, photography and other work. In 2025, the open source large model launched by Chinese companies ranked first in the world in downloads, China approved 76 innovative drugs, and China's total social R&D expenditure intensity reached 2.8%... One scene after another and one set of data after another witnessed the continuous bursting of China's innovation potential.
From the perspective of development ideas, China adheres to the concept of low carbon and has become a leader in world green development.
In the name of the code, protect lucid waters and lush mountains. At the National People's Congress (全国两会), the draft ecological environment code attracted attention. This is China's second law named after "code," and the world's first to independently compile green and low-carbon development, providing stable institutional expectations for green transformation.
The Pakistan Observer believes that the "15th Five-Year Plan" outlines a future picture: China will rank among the leaders in rule-making in the fields of science and technology and environment.
From the perspective of development potential, China's super-large-scale market potential is constantly being released, allowing the world to share development opportunities.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's total retail sales of consumer goods successively exceeded the 40 trillion yuan and 50 trillion yuan mark. The overall scale of China's manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for 15 consecutive years, and has remained the world's largest country in goods trade for 9 consecutive years. As of now, China has signed 24 free trade agreements with 31 countries and regions, and has implemented unilateral visa-free entry for 50 countries. In the hot "China shopping" and "China tourism," the flow of talent, goods, and capital is moving in both directions, and China and the world are working together to open up new space for development.
China, which is unswervingly expanding high-level opening up, will continue to release the dividends of its super-large-scale market, provide a list of opportunities for the world, and contribute a strong stable anchor for world economic growth.
(III)
The stable and developing China illuminates the hope of building a community with a shared future for mankind with Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions.
At the National People's Congress (全国两会), foreign reporters from all over the world were busy shuttling back and forth. They focused on hot topics such as poverty alleviation experience, digital technology, and ecological governance, running around for interviews, digging deep into details, and looking for Chinese samples to solve global development problems.
"As the world's second-largest economy, China has provided a series of Chinese solutions for global development, and Africa, with its many developing countries, is in urgent need of these experiences." A word from a reporter from the News Agency of Nigeria expressed the international community's urgent expectation for Chinese wisdom.
China adheres to "drawing a blueprint to the end" and has created a new situation in Chinese-style modernization.
Scientifically formulating and successively implementing five-year plans is an important experience in our Party's governance and administration of the country, and it is also an important political advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
When some countries' macro policies are short-sighted and "flipping pancakes" back and forth, our Party has promoted China's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, comprehensive national strength, and people's living standards to a new level through the five-year plan, a way of governing and administering the country. People of all ethnic groups across the country are firm in their confidence and forge ahead courageously, and continue to create a new situation in Chinese-style modernization in continuous struggle.
Facing a world intertwined with changes and chaos, China continues to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind in the four major pillar areas of global development, security, civilization, and governance, demonstrating the foresight and responsibility that a major country should have.
From Africa and Asia to Europe, the Luban Workshop (鲁班工坊), a Chinese vocational education international cooperation project, trains the most urgently needed technical talents for the local area; in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Rwanda, Chinese technicians guide Juncao planting to help local poverty reduction and ecological governance; at international forums in Kenya, Kazakhstan, and other places, Chinese and foreign experts gather to share and discuss the experience of Chinese-style modernization... China shares poverty reduction technology and development achievements with the world, and helps countries explore development paths that suit their own national conditions.
China empowers industrial upgrading with culture, promotes the integration and interaction of culture and economy, and enhances the "cultural power" of economic and social development.
Cultivate new cultural formats and new models, promote the integration of culture and tourism, and cultural and creative empowerment, so that cultural soft power can be transformed into hard power for development. Nowadays, more and more foreigners are eager to come to China and experience the lives of Chinese people firsthand: take high-speed rail to feel the speed of China, watch drone performances to appreciate the charm of technology, experience traditional Chinese medicine massage to feel traditional wisdom, wear Hanfu and eat hot pot to taste oriental charm...
"The next 'China' is still China." No matter how the external environment changes, China unswervingly handles its own affairs well, unswervingly expands high-level opening up to the outside world, responds to the uncertainty of the external environment with the certainty of high-quality development, and provides new opportunities for the world with new achievements in Chinese-style modernization.
After the National People's Congress (全国两会), with the comprehensive implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the in-depth implementation of the various tasks proposed in the government work report, China will surely continue to maintain a good momentum of stable development and continue to inject more stability, certainty, and positive energy into the world.
"What China pursues is not a self-serving modernization, and it is willing to work with all countries to achieve a world modernization of peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common prosperity, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind!"
Return to TopUniting to gather strength, and broadly collecting wisdom through democracy, the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) successfully completed all its agenda items and victoriously concluded in Beijing (北京) on March 11. We extend our warm congratulations on the success of the conference!
This was a conference that held high the banner, united the people's hearts, sought truth and was pragmatic, and united for progress. During the conference, Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other Party and state leaders attended the opening and closing meetings of the conference, visited the members attending the conference and participated in joint group discussions, and widely listened to opinions and suggestions. The vast number of CPPCC members, with a high sense of political responsibility and historical mission, listened to and deliberated the work report of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee and the report on the work of proposals, attended the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), listened to and discussed the government work report and other relevant reports, discussed the draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan," consulted on political affairs to gather strength, fulfilled their duties and responsibilities to demonstrate their commitment, and achieved fruitful results in political consultation. The success of the conference contributed wisdom and strength to promoting a good start and a good step for the "15th Five-Year Plan," fully demonstrating the vigorous vitality of China's whole-process people's democracy and the remarkable political advantages of the CPPCC.
The year 2026 marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan." Looking back on the magnificent journey, our Party has united and led the people to create world-renowned development achievements, especially the successful conclusion of the "14th Five-Year Plan," with China's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength, and comprehensive national strength reaching new heights, laying a solid foundation for achieving the goal set by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党第二十次全国代表大会) of basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035. Practice eloquently proves that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is an irreversible historical trend. Entering a critical period of consolidating the foundation and fully exerting efforts to basically realize socialist modernization, it is particularly necessary to maintain strategic focus, enhance confidence in victory, gather tremendous strength, and move forward step by step. Those who start sharply must plan for the end, and those who succeed must first plan at the beginning. Fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, focus on promoting high-quality development, adhere to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, implement more proactive and effective macroeconomic policies, promote the effective improvement of quality and the reasonable growth of quantity in the economy, and maintain social harmony and stability, we will surely achieve a good start for the "15th Five-Year Plan."
The CPPCC is a great achievement of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) in combining the Marxist-Leninist theory of the united front, the theory of political parties, and the theory of democratic politics with China's specific realities and with China's outstanding traditional culture, and is a great creation of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) in leading various democratic parties, non-party figures, people's organizations, and people from all ethnic groups and all walks of life in the political system. Facing the future, the CPPCC must adhere to using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to consolidate its soul, adhere to the organic combination of Party leadership, the united front, and consultative democracy, earnestly shoulder the political responsibility of implementing the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the requirements for the work of the CPPCC, and gathering the wisdom and strength of Chinese sons and daughters at home and abroad, and make new and greater contributions to creating a new situation in the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
Developing whole-process people's democracy is an essential requirement of Chinese-style modernization. As an important component of whole-process people's democracy, consultative democracy is a unique form and unique advantage of China's socialist democratic politics, and is an important embodiment of the Party's mass line in the political field. Striving forward in the "15th Five-Year Plan," adhering to the mutual integration of promoting democracy and enhancing unity, and the two-way efforts of offering advice and suggestions and building consensus, giving full play to the role of the CPPCC as an important channel for socialist consultative democracy and a specialized consultative body, improving the level of in-depth consultation and interaction, full expression of opinions, and broad consensus-building, and coming up with methods, consensus, feelings, and unity in consultation, we will surely better transform China's political advantages and institutional advantages into national governance effectiveness and development advantages, and promote major breakthroughs in strategic tasks related to the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization.
At present, China's development is facing increasing uncertain and unpredictable factors. To achieve the established goals and overcome risks and challenges, it is necessary to broadly gather people's hearts, build consensus, gather wisdom, and gather strength to advance Chinese-style modernization. The CPPCC must closely focus on the central tasks of the Party and the state, give play to the advantages of talent gathering and intellectual concentration, focus on the implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" outline, conduct in-depth consultation and political affairs, actively offer advice and suggestions, carry out democratic supervision, and conduct in-depth investigations and research on major issues such as building a modern industrial system, developing new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions, and building a healthy China, and put forward practical and effective countermeasures and suggestions, so as to better serve scientific decision-making and effective policy implementation with high-quality consultation and high-level suggestions, improve the working mechanism for giving play to the political role of the united front in gathering people's hearts and gathering strength, and focus on drawing the largest concentric circle for building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
Starting from spring, moving towards hope. Let us unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, profoundly understand the decisive significance of the "Two Establishments" and resolutely achieve the "Two Safeguards," forge ahead with determination and courage, ensure that decisive progress is made in basically realizing socialist modernization, and jointly draw a new picture of Chinese-style modernization.

Esteemed members,
On behalf of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (中国人民政治协商会议第十四届全国委员会), I present this work report to the assembly for your deliberation.
I. Key Work in 2025
The year 2025 holds significant importance in the process of Chinese-style modernization. Facing a complex and volatile international landscape, as well as arduous and demanding domestic reform, development, and stability tasks, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (中共中央), with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, united and led the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country to overcome difficulties and strive forward. It coordinated both domestic and international situations, successfully completing the year's main targets and tasks for economic and social development. China's economy advanced against pressure, developing towards new and improved directions. New quality productive forces steadily grew, reform and opening up took new steps, people's livelihoods were more effectively guaranteed, and the overall social situation remained stable. The 14th Five-Year Plan (十四五) successfully concluded, and China's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, defense strength, and overall national strength reached new heights. Chinese-style modernization took new and solid steps. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee (中共二十届四中全会) was successfully convened, outlining the blueprint for the 15th Five-Year Plan (十五五). The grand commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War greatly boosted national spirit, stimulated patriotic enthusiasm, and united the strength for struggle.
The National Committee of the CPPCC (政协全国委员会) and its Standing Committee adhered to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, profoundly comprehended the decisive significance of the "Two Establishes," enhanced the "Four Consciousnesses," strengthened the "Four Confidences," and achieved the "Two Upholds." They conscientiously implemented the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC (中共二十大) and the plenary sessions of the 20th CPC Central Committee, implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important thoughts on strengthening and improving the work of the CPPCC and his important speech at the meeting celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the CPPCC. They adhered to the organic combination of the Party's leadership, the united front, and consultative democracy, adhered to the nature and positioning of the CPPCC, adhered to focusing on the center and serving the overall situation, and fully played the role of a specialized consultative body, achieving new results in various tasks.

First, we adhered to the comprehensive leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, and consciously practiced the "Two Upholds." We adhered to the "First Topic" system, and the CPPCC National Committee, its organs, and various special committees promptly conveyed and studied the important speeches of General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) and the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, and improved the long-term mechanism for implementing them in combination with the duties and tasks of the CPPCC, and supervised and implemented them item by item.

We coordinated the development of study and education, promoted learning, investigation, and rectification in an integrated manner, clarified 84 rectification measures, and promoted their implementation item by item. We implemented the requirements of streamlining documents and meetings, and implemented planned management of document issuance and meeting activities.

We consolidated the main responsibility for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, and formulated the Working Rules of the CPPCC National Committee Party Group Inspection Team and the Opinions on Further Strengthening the Party's Construction of Special Committees. We expanded the participation of committee members in performing their duties, strengthened the transformation and application of committee members' performance of duties achievements, and did a good job in committee members' daily liaison, service management, and performance of duties statistics. We held special study and discussion classes for CPPCC National Committee members, training classes for organ cadres, etc., with 6,248 people participating in the study. We promoted the construction of digital CPPCC. In accordance with the CPPCC Constitution, we revoked the qualifications of 24 members of the CPPCC National Committee. We formulated the implementation opinions on implementing the "Regulations on Practicing Economy and Opposing Waste by Party and Government Organs," strictly controlled the expenditure of "three public" funds, and standardized the management of festivals, exhibitions, and forum activities. We strengthened the awareness education of political organs, promoted the construction of safe organs, and strived to build model organs.
The achievements made in the past year are fundamentally due to the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core, and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. This is also the result of the strong support of all parties and the joint efforts of all participating units of the CPPCC and the vast number of CPPCC members. For this, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks on behalf of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee!
At the same time, there are still some shortcomings in our work, mainly that the depth of consultative and political discussions is not enough, the role of committee members and sectors is not fully played, and there are weak links in institutional construction and implementation. These will be carefully improved in future work.
II. Key Tasks for 2026
The year 2026 is the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五). The CPPCC must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, profoundly understand the decisive significance of the "Two Establishes" and resolutely achieve the "Two Upholds," deeply implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC (中共二十大) and the plenary sessions of the 20th CPC Central Committee, conscientiously implement the arrangements of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee (中共二十届四中全会), implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important thoughts on strengthening and improving the work of the CPPCC, adhere to and improve the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhere to the nature and positioning of the CPPCC, adhere to the two major themes of unity and democracy, adhere to focusing on the central tasks of the Party and the country to perform duties, organize all parties, groups, and people from all ethnic groups and all walks of life participating in the CPPCC, and widely gather people's hearts, gather consensus, gather wisdom, and gather strength to achieve a good start to the "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五).
(1) Unswervingly adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and firmly grasp the correct political direction. Adhering to and strengthening the Party's comprehensive leadership is the fundamental guarantee for promoting Chinese-style modernization, and it is also the fundamental guarantee for the development and progress of the CPPCC cause. We must run the Party's comprehensive leadership through the entire process and all aspects of political consultation, democratic supervision, and participation in the administration and discussion of state affairs, and implement the "Two Upholds" in practical actions and embody them in the effectiveness of our work.
(1) Unwaveringly adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), and firmly grasp the correct political direction. Adhering to and strengthening the Party's overall leadership is the fundamental guarantee for advancing Chinese-style modernization and the fundamental guarantee for the development and progress of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) (人民政协). We must integrate the Party's overall leadership into the entire process and all aspects of political consultation, democratic supervision, and participation in and deliberation of state affairs, and implement the "Two Upholds" in practical actions and embody them in work results.
(2) Persistently integrate the arming of the Party's innovative theories into daily routines and regular practices, and enhance the effectiveness of ideological and political guidance and the broad consensus-building work. Ideological unity is the foundation of political unity and action unity, and the depth of theoretical study determines the height of ideological understanding and the intensity of implementation. It is necessary to establish and improve a mechanism that integrates the regular study, systematic research, and reasoned interpretation of the Party's innovative theories, promote the continuous consolidation of the common ideological and political foundation for unity and struggle among the various parties, groups, and people from all ethnic groups and sectors participating in the CPPCC, do more to publicize policies, resolve doubts and dispel confusion, stabilize expectations, and strengthen confidence, promote the main theme of reform and development, and gather positive energy for unity and progress. Activities should be organized to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the birth of Sun Yat-sen (孙中山). We must strengthen the CPPCC's foreign friendly exchanges and tell the Chinese story and the story of China's whole-process people's democracy.
(3) Focus on the implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" to offer advice and suggestions, and serve the central tasks of the Party and the state with high-quality performance results. We must implement the National Committee of the CPPCC's (全国政协) 2026 consultation plan, conduct in-depth investigations and research and in-depth consultation and deliberation on major tasks and strategic measures determined by the "15th Five-Year Plan," focus on major theoretical and practical issues in laying the foundation and fully exerting efforts to basically realize socialist modernization, and carry out special studies across special committees, across sectors, and across disciplines to form forward-looking, targeted, and actionable policy recommendations. We must reflect social conditions and public opinions in a realistic manner, focusing on key issues in the fields of economic development, scientific and technological innovation, reform and opening up, ecological protection, social construction, and people's livelihood security. We must grasp the positioning of consultative supervision, implement the National Committee of the CPPCC's democratic supervision work plan during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, and help promote the implementation of major decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee (中共中央).
(4) Give full play to the main role of the members and improve their ability and level of performance. The vast number of CPPCC members must cherish their political identity and lofty honor, adhere to the mission of performing their duties for the country and fulfilling their responsibilities for the people, study and grasp the Party and state's principles and policies, improve their level of ideological understanding and performance skills, abide by laws and regulations, temper their work style, be honest and self-disciplined, and firmly establish and maintain a strict atmosphere and a positive atmosphere for a long time. We must adhere to the principle that the CPPCC is for the people, establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, and promote the normalization and long-term effectiveness of work style construction.
Dear members! Let us unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) at its core, work together with one heart and one mind, forge ahead bravely, promote the high-quality development of the CPPCC cause in the new era and on the new journey, and contribute wisdom and strength to building a socialist modern country on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics!
(Xinhua News Agency (新华社), Beijing (北京), March 11)
Return to Top(People's Daily, Paris, March 11th) (Reporter Shang Kaiyuan (尚凯元)) Local time, March 10th, Special Representative of President Xi Jinping (习近平), Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and Vice Premier of the State Council Zhang Guoqing (张国清) attended the second Nuclear Energy Summit in Paris and delivered a keynote speech.
Zhang Guoqing (张国清) stated that China has always adhered to the rational, coordinated, and progressive nuclear security concept proposed by President Xi Jinping (习近平), and has made positive contributions to promoting the development of world nuclear energy with practical actions. China is willing to work with all parties to jointly implement the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, and work together to promote nuclear energy innovation-driven, safety-based, industrial collaboration, and win-win cooperation, so that nuclear energy can better benefit the development and prosperity of all countries, and make new contributions to building a clean, beautiful, and sustainable world, and building a community with a shared future for mankind.
Heads of state, heads of government, or high-level representatives from more than 30 countries, as well as heads of relevant international organizations, attended the summit and jointly issued a joint statement of the summit entitled "Making Safe and Affordable Nuclear Energy Benefit Everyone".
Return to TopThrough "development-oriented assistance," China has contributed innovative solutions to solving global common problems, and the international community has further understood the global significance of China's development.
"'The Party and the government are supporting us, not raising us,' has now become a common saying among the villagers." During the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (中国人民政治协商会议) (Two Sessions), Left Xiangyun (左香云), a National People's Congress representative and a villager from Shenshan Village (神山村), Jinggangshan City (井冈山市), Jiangxi Province (江西省), shared her first-hand poverty alleviation story with Chinese and foreign journalists: by developing characteristic industries in accordance with local conditions, the once poor mountain village, "remote and unknown," has been transformed into a "internet-famous village" filled with the fragrance of tea, bamboo, and fruit.
Across mountains and seas, in Kampong Chhnang Province (磅清扬省), Cambodia (柬埔寨), the smart vegetable greenhouse of the Guangxi (广西)-aided Cambodia Modern Agricultural Technology Cooperation Poverty Reduction Project has ushered in its second harvest season. Local vegetable farmers, who once "relied on the weather," are now skilled at operating smart greenhouses and precisely irrigating different zones. A local processing plant, having learned that the vegetables from the project do not use pesticides or fertilizers throughout the entire process, has specifically come to connect with the vegetable farmers for long-term cooperation.
From the transformation of Chinese villages to the harvest in foreign fields, the vivid practice of "development-oriented assistance" demonstrates the innovative value of China's poverty reduction concepts and practices in solving human development problems.
How to solve the problem of insufficient endogenous motivation in the process of poverty reduction is a global challenge. A study by the Clayton Christensen Institute in the United States pointed out that traditional development assistance often falls into the predicament of a "push-type strategy"—simply providing material assistance, but failing to build incentive mechanisms and failing to truly understand the real needs of the people. From poverty alleviation to comprehensive rural revitalization, China's "development-oriented assistance" provides an innovative answer, rewriting the historical trajectory of global poverty reduction.
The story of Fujian (福建)-Ningxia (宁夏) collaboration in "raising sea fish on land" is a vivid example. From the transfer of Fujian's fishery technology to Ningxia in the 1990s, to the "settling down" of whiteleg shrimp in saline-alkali land, and then to the realization of large-scale farming of Fujian's large yellow croaker at the foot of the Helan Mountains (贺兰山), Ningxia has now become the province with the most abundant aquatic product varieties and the highest yield per unit area in the five northwestern provinces. The vast Gobi Desert, once regarded as an "agricultural forbidden zone," has "created something from nothing" and cultivated high value-added industries, blazing a new trail for farmers to increase their income and become rich. This 30-year-long poverty alleviation history fully demonstrates that only by enhancing the development momentum and resilience of poor areas, and realizing the transformation from "blood transfusion" poverty alleviation to "blood creation" assistance, can poverty be defeated at its root.
Moving towards comprehensive rural revitalization, the focus of development remains endogenous motivation. This year's government work report proposed to "improve the effectiveness of development-oriented assistance such as industry and employment." Support the development of green and efficient planting and breeding, promote the intensive processing of agricultural products, cultivate high-quality agricultural brands, and promote the development of the entire industrial chain; deepen the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, promote the upgrading of rural tourism, and develop "small but beautiful" cultural and tourism formats; develop new agricultural productive forces in accordance with local conditions, and promote the integration of artificial intelligence and agricultural development... Every blueprint is permeated with a clear logic: let industries take root in the countryside and activate the development momentum of rural areas.
Through practical cooperation projects, China's experience and solutions continue to help developing countries enhance their poverty reduction capabilities and confidence. Drawing on the "cooperative + industrial chain" model of Fuping County (富平县), Shaanxi (陕西), Uzbekistan (乌兹别克斯坦) has successfully attracted 10,000 households to develop characteristic planting industries on 20,000 hectares of forest land; the "Mother's Mushroom House" project in Hunan (湖南) has taken root in Kenya (肯尼亚), and local poor single mothers who once waited for relief have now found an economic pillar in the mushroom shed; in Laos (老挝), the Lancang-Mekong (澜湄) potato processing project initiated by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (中国农科院) has built a complete industrial chain from the field to the workshop, transforming potato resources into tangible economic benefits.
Addressing global problems requires pooling global resources. China and the United Nations Development Programme (联合国开发计划署) jointly launched the "Global Poverty Reduction Partnership Initiative" and established the "China-United Nations Global Poverty Reduction Case Database," which includes poverty reduction cases from more than 100 developing countries to promote the sharing of global poverty reduction experiences. Former Director-General of UNESCO (联合国教科文组织), Bokova (博科娃), believes: "If China can do it, other developing countries can also do it. This is the inspiration that China's poverty alleviation campaign has brought to the world."
Through "development-oriented assistance," China has contributed innovative solutions to solving global common problems, and the international community has further understood the global significance of China's development. Entering the "15th Five-Year Plan (十五五)," China is willing to continue to be a contributor to the global poverty reduction cause, and work with countries around the world to stride towards a future without poverty, with common development, and shared by everyone, so that the sunshine of development can illuminate more forgotten corners, and the achievements of poverty reduction can benefit more people who yearn for a better life.

"The 2026 Chinese economic growth target and a more proactive fiscal policy orientation clearly convey positive expectations of policy continuity and economic resilience." Group President of Grundfos (格兰富集团) China, Mark Mattock (马克漫), said in an exclusive interview with this reporter that China's continuous and stable development environment provides multinational companies with rare long-term opportunities. "We not only regard China as a sales market, but also as a key pillar of our global strategy related to industrial layout, supply chain system, and research and development innovation."
Walking into the Grundfos (格兰富集团) Jiangsu Changshu (江苏常熟) High-end Manufacturing Factory, automated production lines are operating efficiently. This factory, which went into operation in 2024, is one of the most sustainable and energy-efficient production bases of this Danish pump manufacturer in the world. As early as the 1990s, Grundfos (格兰富) set its sights on China and established a factory in Suzhou (苏州), becoming one of the first European companies to settle in Suzhou Industrial Park (苏州工业园). Since then, the company has continued to expand its investment layout in China: a research and development center was established in 2005, second in size only to its Danish headquarters; in 2024, the Changshu (常熟) high-end manufacturing project with a total investment of approximately US$100 million went into operation, with an intelligent low-carbon factory area of nearly 35,000 square meters.
"For more than 30 years, we have not only achieved significant growth in China, but also actively participated in China's development and construction, contributing to people's access to sustainable water resources." Mark Mattock (马克漫) said that China's "dual carbon" goals have constructed a predictable development path, enhancing the company's development confidence. "This is precisely why we are making large-scale investments in Changshu (常熟) to build advanced green factories."
In Mark Mattock's (马克漫) view, the comprehensive advantages formed by China in manufacturing capabilities, innovation density, and market size constitute an unparalleled ecosystem, which profoundly affects Grundfos's (格兰富) long-term development strategy. "The high-quality application scenarios nurtured by the Chinese market, such as data centers, zero-carbon parks, smart buildings, and industrial energy efficiency upgrades, have strong traction and have become the best testing ground for verifying, iterating, and leading the next generation of water and energy technologies."
The continuous release of China's ultra-large-scale market potential brings new development opportunities to Grundfos (格兰富). Mark Mattock (马克漫) said that China's urbanization process and the construction of a unified national market have spawned complex and standardized application requirements; the wave of consumption upgrades is continuously driving the dual pursuit of comfort experience and energy efficiency in commercial and civil buildings, medical care, and other fields. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Grundfos (格兰富) will further seize the new growth opportunities brought by China's green transformation and technological innovation. "We firmly believe that China is not only the growth engine of Grundfos's (格兰富) business, but also an important source of power for promoting global technological innovation," said Mark Mattock (马克漫).

Improve the proposal supervision work mechanism of unified deployment by the Chairman's meeting and division of labor and cooperation by the special committees to promote the organic combination and two-way empowerment of proposal supervision and the performance of duties by the special committees. Convene briefings on key issues of concern, solicit and publish reference topics for proposals, and improve the mechanism for reviewing and handling proposals at ordinary times to provide services for proposers to grasp policies and accurately select topics. Improve the proposal achievement transformation mechanism, select high-quality proposals and transform and utilize them in the form of CPPCC information to better play the role of proposals in reflecting public opinion and promoting scientific and democratic decision-making.
(4) Deepen consultation and exchange and widely gather consensus. Give play to the role of the CPPCC as a specialized consultative body, carry out theoretical research on running consultative democracy through the entire process of proposal work, and deepen the understanding of the regularity of proposal work. Innovatively explore the organic combination of proposal handling consultation and special consultation, bi-weekly consultation, and sectoral consultation to better promote handling, increase consensus, and consolidate unity through consultation. Organize members to visit proposal undertaking units and participate in symposiums of undertaking units to promote in-depth consultation and interaction between proposers and handlers and widely gather consensus.
While achieving achievements, we must also see that further strengthening and improvement are still needed in building a service platform for informing and understanding politics, continuously improving the quality of proposals for political consultation and suggestions, increasing the supervision of proposals, and promoting the intelligent construction of proposal work.
III.
The year 2026 is the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and doing a good job in this year's proposal work is of great significance. We must unify our thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平同志) as the core, adhere to centering around the center and serving the overall situation, establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, and promote proposal work to play a greater role in serving the construction of Chinese-style modernization.
First, we must closely focus on the start and step of the "15th Five-Year Plan" to perform our duties and offer suggestions. Closely focus on the goals and major strategic tasks of economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, fully and accurately implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and find the entry point and breakthrough point for proposal services to economic and social development. Focus on key, hot, and difficult issues in promoting Chinese-style modernization, further comprehensively deepening reform, promoting high-quality development, and maintaining social harmony and stability, conduct in-depth investigation and research, strengthen scientific argumentation, and put forward high-quality proposals with foresight, pertinence, and operability.
Second, we must focus on enhancing the synergy of proposal work. Support and guide the vast number of CPPCC members and participating units of the CPPCC to base themselves on the characteristics of their sectors, give play to the advantages of their sectors, and closely combine proposal work with sectoral inspections and studies and sectoral special studies to form high-quality sectoral proposals. Further give play to the basic role of special committees and deeply participate in all aspects of proposal submission, supervision, evaluation, and commendation. With the goal of enhancing the effectiveness of handling, standardize handling procedures, improve handling mechanisms, strengthen communication and contact, and continuously improve the quality of proposal handling.
Third, we must continuously improve the quality and efficiency of proposal work. Implement the newly revised regulations on proposal work and further promote the institutionalization, standardization, and proceduralization of proposal work. Build a regular consultation platform for proposers and handlers, actively respond to members' concerns, strengthen the work of informing and understanding politics, and better publicize policies, dispel doubts, and gather consensus through deepening consultation. Promote the construction of an intelligent proposal system and empower the high-quality development of proposal work with digitalization.
Esteemed Members, standing at a new historical starting point, the cause of the CPPCC has broad prospects, and the mission of proposal work is glorious. Let us unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, hold high the great banner of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, unite our minds and efforts, forge ahead with determination, strive to write a new chapter in the high-quality development of proposal work, and make new and greater contributions to basically realizing socialist modernization and creating a new situation in comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization!

With the spring breeze bringing warmth, all things are renewed.
On the morning of March 11, more than 2,000 members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from 34 sectors gathered again in the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂) to attend the closing meeting of the Fourth Session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee.
Inside the Central Hall of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), many members exchanged their experiences of attending the meeting before it started.
"General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that building a healthy China is a systematic project." Jin Li (金李), Vice President of Southern University of Science and Technology (南方科技大学) and a member of the CPPCC National Committee, said, "Artificial intelligence has great potential in solving the pain points of elderly care services and is expected to realize the transformation of health management for the elderly from 'passive response' to 'active prevention'."
"The draft outline of the '15th Five-Year Plan' takes the optimization and upgrading of services for the elderly and children as an important content, which is a vivid reflection of the people-centered development thought." Du Haifeng (杜海峰), a professor at the School of Public Policy and Administration of Xi'an Jiaotong University (西安交通大学), said, "I will continue to play the role of a bridge and link, and bring tangible gains to the people with higher quality performance of duties."
Inside the Great Auditorium of Ten Thousand People, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was solemn and warm.
At 9:00 a.m., the closing meeting began. Xi Jinping (习近平) and other Party and state leaders attended.
The meeting adopted the Resolution of the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC on the Work Report of the Standing Committee, the Resolution of the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC on the Report on the Work of Handling Proposals Since the Third Session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC, the Report of the Proposals Committee of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC on the Examination of Proposals of the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC, and the Political Resolution of the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC.
Warm applause rang out again and again.
"We must take serving and helping the implementation of the '15th Five-Year Plan' as the main line of performing our duties, and run it through all aspects of political consultation, democratic supervision, and participation in and deliberation of state affairs. We should focus on major issues in economic and social development, deepen forward-looking research and strategic thinking, and put forward valuable and weighty opinions and suggestions, and strive to observe the changes in the situation, recognize the essentials of the problem, and devise effective strategies." Wang Huning (王沪宁), Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, said in his speech.
To make a good start and take the first step for the "15th Five-Year Plan," and to broadly gather people's hearts, build consensus, gather wisdom, and gather strength, the members felt greatly encouraged and deeply aware of the heavy responsibility on their shoulders.
This was a conference that held high the banner, united the people's hearts, sought truth and made progress, and was clean and upright, vividly demonstrating the sense of responsibility and commitment of the CPPCC members to perform their duties for the country and fulfill their responsibilities for the people, and fully demonstrating the unique advantages and vitality of socialist consultative democracy.
In the majestic national anthem, the conference successfully concluded.
Knowing responsibility in the heart, bearing responsibility on the shoulders, and fulfilling responsibility in action. The members came with missions and returned with full harvests.
"I will rely on my long-term accumulation of development strategy research, conduct solid research, earnestly perform my duties, and promote high-quality development with high-quality suggestions," said Wu Fenggang (吴锋刚), Vice President of Jiangxi Provincial Socialist Academy (江西省社会主义学院) and a member of the CPPCC National Committee.
Walking out of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), Xu Guangwen (许光文), Chairman of the Liaoning Provincial Committee of the China Zhi Gong Party (致公党辽宁省委会), said, "In the future, we will focus on the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, artificial intelligence and the real economy, to better cultivate and develop new quality productive forces."
The real economy and modern service industries connect a large number of small and medium-sized businesses and are an important channel for stabilizing employment. Ding Zuohong (丁佐宏), Chairman of the Board of Yuexing Group (月星集团), said, "Stabilizing employment and increasing income are concrete practices of enterprises implementing the concept of 'investing in people.' We will combine our own development to contribute to stabilizing employment."
"The robot industry is in a period of innovation explosion. We must seize the rare historical opportunity, deeply cultivate key core technologies, accelerate the industrialization and application of embodied intelligence technology, and accelerate on the new track," said Xu Lijin (许礼进), Chairman and General Manager of Wuhu Robot Industry Development Group Co., Ltd. (芜湖机器人产业发展集团有限公司).
Cultural prosperity leads to national prosperity, and cultural strength leads to national strength.

The notebook is carried by Min Hongyan (闵洪艳), the Party Secretary of Yanhe Village (堰河村) in Gucheng County (谷城县), Xiangyang City (襄阳市), Hubei Province (湖北省), for writing and recording. He brings it with him every time he attends the National People's Congress (全国两会). Over the years, he has filled more than 20 notebooks, and the one he brought to the meeting this year is already mostly full.
"Although the notebook is small, every matter inside is very important. It brings the expectations of the villagers to Beijing (北京), to the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂)," said Min Hongyan (闵洪艳).
Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) is 63 years old this year, grew up in the countryside, and has developed the habit of taking notes since he became the village Party branch secretary in 1992.
The notebook contains the needs and expectations of the villagers, as well as the key points of his participation in the meeting: What major issues will the country focus on this year, and how should grassroots cadres work?
"To rejuvenate the nation, the countryside must be revitalized." This time, when deliberating on the government work report and reviewing the draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan," Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) carefully read each policy related to "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" and wrote down his thoughts.
"Accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas, and steadily promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside." Seeing this sentence, the "field of hope" in Min Hongyan's (闵洪艳) heart leaped before his eyes again. "The comprehensive revitalization of the countryside requires not only consolidating the foundation of the agricultural industry but also managing the daily meals of farmers and enhancing their sense of gain, happiness, and security."
The notebook records the past hard times, the current good times, and also a sentence: "Communist Party members must dare to take responsibility and do real work."
In 1995, Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) and village cadres carried seven sacks of tea, traveled for more than a month, and sold them for 7,000 yuan in Shaanxi (陕西). The "green leaves" generated wealth, boosting the morale of the people in Yanhe Village (堰河村). With the green mountains and clear waters well protected, the village built a road out of the mountains and started a tea industry. Some villagers wanted to start agritainment businesses, but everyone was unsure.
That year, Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) mobilized his wife to open the first agritainment business: no profit in the first year, no loss in the second year, and profit in the third year. When the villagers saw the benefits, the village soon had a second and a third...
When the business was at its best, Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) asked his wife to close the agritainment business. His wife was helpless and puzzled.
"I am a Party cadre. If no one does it, our family will take the lead. Now that everyone is doing it, we should stop. More resources and benefits should be left to the villagers." Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) quickly convinced his wife. Until now, his wife has never reopened an agritainment business.
In this small village in Hubei (湖北), every family lives in a new building, every household has a car, the village collective assets exceed 200 million yuan, and the per capita annual net income of farmers reaches 40,000 yuan.
"It is not enough for one village to be rich; it is only when all villages are rich that it counts as true wealth." This is another sentence in the notebook.
In 2024, Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) decided to unite seven surrounding villages to jointly build a "tea tourism town" around the tea industry and rural cultural tourism.
In the tea tourism town, farmers pick up their mobile phones and start live broadcasts. "Internet+" leverages more industrial growth points. A year later, the annual income of the seven villages united by Yanhe Village (堰河村) exceeded 200,000 yuan.
In 2025, Yanhe Village's (堰河村) development vision crossed over mountains. Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) and Wang Yucheng (汪玉成), the Party branch secretary of Yucun Village (余村村) in Anji County (安吉县), Zhejiang Province (浙江省), decided to jointly build a "common prosperity supermarket": Store No. 1 is located in Yucun (余村), and Store No. 2 is located in Yanhe Village (堰河村), promoting the two-way circulation of agricultural products and making local specialties sell farther and for more money.
To advance Chinese-style modernization, the most arduous and onerous task is in the countryside. We cannot end up with "prosperous cities on one side and declining rural areas on the other."
"Zhejiang's (浙江) Yucun (余村) is sharing prosperity with us, and we must also share prosperity with rural areas across the country," said Min Hongyan (闵洪艳). "We plan to build 100 'common prosperity supermarkets' across the country in the first batch."
"On the new journey of Chinese-style modernization, everyone is the protagonist," Min Hongyan (闵洪艳) remembers clearly what General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) said. "On the stage of comprehensive rural revitalization, we are all the protagonists." In his notebook, he wrote down another sentence like this.

Visiting YuShu Technology (宇树科技) to see the Spring Festival Gala robots, the chairman of BMW Group sincerely exclaimed: "I have never seen such a humanoid robot before."
China's development is not achieved overnight. In fact, what amazes the world is not only the technological progress, but also China's ability to turn development plans into real-world scenarios step by step.
Formulating plans is a method of guiding development and a wisdom to grasp the historical initiative.
In 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部) and other departments jointly released the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Robot Industry Development Plan" ("十四五”机器人产业发展规划"); at last year's National People's Congress (全国两会), embodied intelligence was written into the "Government Work Report" ("政府工作报告") for the first time. Forward-looking thinking sets the direction and goals, and scientific and efficient planning can concentrate efforts to accomplish big things, coordinate efforts to overcome difficulties, and achieve success through sustained effort.
Looking broadly, the scientific formulation and successive implementation of plans are the secret to our success along the way, and also a significant advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.
Luoyang Bearing Group (洛阳轴承集团), founded in 1954, is one of the 156 key projects during the "First Five-Year Plan" ("一五"). From the "First Five-Year Plan" ("一五") to the "14th Five-Year Plan" ("十四五"), from import dependence to a flood of high-end bearing orders, Luoyang Bearing has always moved forward along the guidance of national plans. Looking up, the "light boat has passed ten thousand mountains" 轻舟已过万重山 (qīng zhōu yǐ guò wàn chóng shān - "a light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains," a metaphor for overcoming numerous obstacles and difficulties with ease), and today China's manufacturing added value has ranked first in the world for 16 consecutive years, with the most complete industrial categories and the most complete industrial system.
Scientific planning is like a detailed and perfect "operation manual." Following the path, success will be achieved. Conversely, if decisions are made rashly and plans are inconsistent, opportunities will be missed and development will be affected.
The "City of the Future" offers inspiration. Re-entering Xiong'an (雄安), I was surprised by the traffic during the morning and evening peak hours, where AI traffic lights directed traffic in an orderly manner, with green lights all the way through more than a dozen intersections. From smart roads to smart light poles to the city computing center, the foresight of "planning every inch of land clearly before starting construction" is concretely reflected in every corner of Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区). Deliberate action may seem "slow" but is actually "fast," all for the sake of a "good" future.
Some places serve as a mirror. Why have some "people's livelihood projects" become "image projects"? It is precisely because of "a new idea for each term" and "a new plan for each session." Ignoring the authority, seriousness, and continuity of planning is not conducive to high-quality development and exposes incorrect views on political achievements.
"Scientific planning is the greatest benefit, planning errors are the greatest waste, and planning reversals are the greatest taboo." General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) profound argument can be described as hitting the nail on the head 切中肯綮 (qiē zhòng kěn qìng - "hit the bone and muscle," to hit the nail on the head; to be highly relevant and accurate). The "15th Five-Year Plan" ("十五五") period is a crucial period for consolidating the foundation and fully exerting efforts to basically achieve socialist modernization. It is very urgent and necessary to improve the legalization level of planning preparation and implementation. The "National Development Plan Law of the People's Republic of China (Draft)" 《中华人民共和国国家发展规划法（草案）》 has been submitted to the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress (十四届全国人大四次会议) for deliberation. This means that China's planning will move from policy guidance to legal guarantees, which will better play the strategic guiding role of planning and better leverage the advantages of the national system and governance effectiveness.
The Five-Year Plan is not unique to China, so why has it become a unique advantage of China's governance? An important factor is that it comes from the people and goes to the people. "Good guidelines, policies, and development plans should conform to the people's wishes and meet the people's expectations."
The truth is revealed in two roads.
One is the Tianshan Victory Tunnel (天山胜利隧道). From "a tank of gas" to "a tap of the gas pedal," it now only takes more than 20 minutes to cross the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains (天山). Why plan this road? The answer lies in the sales channels of industries and also in the ecological corridor; it is a road for seeking knowledge and also a thoroughfare for culture and tourism. Ultimately, it lies in the needs of people. Today, the close combination of investing in things and investing in people has become an important reference for China in formulating various development plans.
The other is the back streets and alleys of Shenyang (沈阳). For urban renewal, how can we do it to the heart's content? Ask citizens for ideas and suggestions, and some renovation plans have been revised more than a dozen times. By following public opinion and gathering collective wisdom, development plans can gain the support of the masses, and the implementation process will be unstoppable 势如破竹 (shì rú pò zhú - "like splitting bamboo," to proceed with irresistible force; to advance rapidly and smoothly).
"Planning a 'forest' allows 'trees' to grow freely." A foreign scholar summarized China's development in this way, and it is also conveying Chinese wisdom to the world: the way of planning is also the way of development.

The school bell rings, and the Guoluo Xining National Middle School (果洛西宁民族中学) in Xining (西宁市), Qinghai Province (青海省) enters lunchtime. Teenagers in school uniforms walk briskly, their laughter ringing out.
Steaming organic cauliflower stir-fried with sliced meat, and pan-fried yak meat dumplings with a fragrant aroma... "Recently, we've added a boiled series and pan-fried yak meat dumplings, which the children really like," says Xu Kaijian (徐开俭), head of the school cafeteria.
Danzhen Angmao (旦正昂毛), a seventh-grader, carries a plate piled high with stir-fried dishes and rice. "Before, at home in the pastoral area, we ate mostly tsampa and meat in the winter, and less rice and vegetables. Now, we can add rice at any time," says Danzhen Angmao (旦正昂毛). Behind the hot meal is not only Qinghai Province's (青海省) unremitting effort to achieve full coverage of the new school nutrition improvement program, but also reflects the warmth of Shanghai's (上海) counterpart support.
After eating, Danzhen Angmao (旦正昂毛) takes the reporter to the teaching building. Photos of the "Shanghai-Guoluo (上海—果洛)" hand-in-hand activity are posted on the cultural wall of the teaching building, one of which records her study experience at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music (上海音乐学院). "The first time I took the subway, the first time I knew the Bund (外滩) in Shanghai (上海) was so bright at night!" says Danzhen Angmao (旦正昂毛).
In the music classroom, Hu Jun (胡骏) from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's (上海音乐学院) aid-Qinghai (援青) workstation is guiding students in rehearsals. This youth wind orchestra has grown from the initial dozen or so people to the current 96.
"Before, we not only took students to participate in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's (上海音乐学院) anniversary performance, but also took students to Beijing (北京) for music study," says Hu Jun (胡骏). The students who returned were "more ambitious," and their mentality and stage performance had undergone positive changes.
"Music is a bridge, and also a 'grand ideological and political lesson'," says Zeng Qiang (曾强), principal of Guoluo Xining National Middle School (果洛西宁民族中学), "The children feel that 'the Chinese nation is one family' from the music."
Six years of aid to Qinghai (援青), the relay continues. The Shanghai (上海) education aid-Qinghai (援青) team has explored a pragmatic and feasible school-running path in this boarding school in a different place: from artificial intelligence laboratories to ecological science popularization bases, and then to "walking classrooms" for study, children understand their hometown in more diverse ways.
"The school's undergraduate enrollment rate in the college entrance examination has jumped from 68.22% in the class of 2022 to 91.2% in the class of 2025, and dozens of students have been admitted to well-known universities," introduces Wang Weiqing (王维庆), vice principal of Guoluo Xining National Middle School (果洛西宁民族中学). In 2024, the school was awarded the title of "National Advanced Collective in the Education System."
"This year's government work report proposes to 'strengthen physical education, aesthetic education, labor education, and mental health education.' We have formulated a three-year plan to promote 'forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation' with 'grand ideological and political lessons,' and strengthen students' moral education, habit formation education, and ideal and belief education," says Zeng Qiang (曾强), hoping that more high-quality educational resources can cross mountains and seas, so that every child has the opportunity to shine in life.
One school, deep affection between two places. Here, children's dreams are jointly supported.

Return to TopIn recent years, Shaoyang City (邵阳市), Hunan Province (湖南省), has deeply cultivated the inheritance of its historical and cultural heritage, earnestly promoted the creation of a civilized city, and driven cultural empowerment for development, making steady progress on the road to strengthening mainstream culture and shaping the city's brand.
Cultural Heritage: Non-Heritage Protection and Main Theme Creation Jointly Forge Spiritual Roots
Shaoyang adheres to the principle of "protection first, rescue first, rational utilization, inheritance and development," allowing intangible cultural heritage to shine with new brilliance, and using main theme literary and artistic creation to凝聚时代精神力量 (**凝聚时代精神力量** (níng jù shí dài jīng shén lì liàng - "condense the spirit of the times," to gather and focus the spiritual strength of the era)).
The Shaoyang County (邵阳县) Intangible Cultural Heritage Center has specially established a glove puppetry inheritance classroom to carry out glove puppetry teaching activities. Today, Shaoyang glove puppetry has formed a team of 1 national-level, 1 provincial-level, 2 municipal-level, and 5 county-level inheritors, with more than 10 social practitioners jointly safeguarding this cultural heritage. Such stories of intangible cultural heritage protection are common in Shaoyang. Baoqing porcelain carving's (宝庆瓷刻) "wandering silk dot knife technique" integrates sketching art into traditional techniques; "Chengbu Miao embroidery" (城步苗绣) has an annual output value of over 10 million yuan. As of now, Shaoyang City has 16 national-level intangible cultural heritage projects, 53 provincial-level intangible cultural heritage projects, 158 municipal-level intangible cultural heritage projects, and 211 county-level intangible cultural heritage projects.
The inheritance of cultural heritage is reflected in the innovative expression of contemporary culture. In recent years, Shaoyang City has adhered to a people-centered creative orientation, focusing on polishing original main theme works, and launching or participating in the creation of a batch of high-quality works that have both "traffic" and "retention." The song "Faith" (信仰), with lyrics written by a local author, won the "Five One Project" Award of the 15th National Spiritual Civilization Construction, and was selected as a new creation song with the theme of "Chinese Dream"; the main theme song "The Most Beautiful Answer Sheet" (最美答卷) has rich arrangement levels and is full of deep emotion, inspiring strivers in the new era... These songs not only demonstrate the spiritual core of Shaoyang culture, but also allow mainstream values to permeate people's hearts through literary and artistic works.
Civilization Building: People's Livelihood Orientation and Universal Participation Jointly Build a Happy Home
Shaoyang City adheres to improving people's livelihood as a starting point and universal participation as a focus, and in 2025, it will win the title of "National Civilized City."
Shaoyang focuses on the urgent and difficult problems of the masses, and solves people's worries and does practical things with practical results. In response to the travel difficulties of the masses, it has implemented a variety of measures such as parking space renovation, new parking lots, opening up parking spaces in government agencies, and optimizing bus routes; it has coordinated the promotion of the renovation of old residential areas, and Shaoyang has renovated 1,081 communities in 3 years, and the living environment of residents has been greatly improved.
The optimization of government services allows the temperature of civilization to directly reach the hearts of the people. Shaoyang innovatively launched the "Song Jie You" (送解优) service code, which allows enterprises to enjoy 12 services by scanning the code, and has cumulatively solved 1,560 problems; the "110" platform for the business environment promotes the "enterprise ordering, department receiving" model, allowing enterprises to truly feel the "Shaoyang temperature." The New Era Civilization Practice Center (stations) has achieved full coverage, and activities such as "Shaoyang Red Weekend Volunteer Action" accurately meet the needs of the masses. The Shaoyang City Cultural Tourism Volunteer Service "Literary and Art Light Cavalry" allows traditional culture and new trends of civilization to enter the fields.
Integration of Industry and City: Cultural Empowerment and Development Upgrade Jointly Shape the City Brand
Shaoyang City, through cultural tourism integration, industrialization of intangible cultural heritage, and branded operation, allows the millennium-old cultural heritage to become a new engine driving urban development.
The industrialization of intangible cultural heritage is becoming an important growth pole for the high-quality development of Shaoyang's cultural tourism economy. Shaoyang has formed an intangible cultural heritage industry cluster centered on blue calico printing technology, Miao embroidery, Baoqing porcelain carving, and Baoqing bamboo carving. Through the "inheritor + cooperative + enterprise" model, it has driven thousands of people to find employment and increase income, making intangible cultural heritage a "people-rich industry." Hunan Blue Calico Culture Development Co., Ltd. has launched 10 series of products such as cheongsams and shawls, with annual sales of more than 57 million yuan.
The integration of culture and tourism makes "poetry and distance" within reach. In Longhui County (隆回县), Tan Tou New Year paintings workshops, Huayao ancient villages, and Wei Yuan's former residence are connected into a line, forming a characteristic cultural tourism integration belt, attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists to visit and experience every year; Shaoyang County integrates Shaoyang glove puppetry performances into rural tourism, and the field stage has become a popular check-in point, realizing a virtuous cycle of "watching intangible cultural heritage, visiting the countryside, and purchasing special products."
The shaping of the city brand has continuously enhanced Shaoyang's influence. Shaoyang's business environment has been continuously optimized, the results of cultural empowerment development are remarkable, and culture has become an important support for Shaoyang to promote high-quality development.

Return to TopTo establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must adhere to starting from reality and acting according to objective laws, consciously seeking to achieve performance for the people and through solid work.
-- January 20, 2026, Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized this in his important speech at the opening ceremony of the seminar for leading provincial and ministerial-level cadres on studying and implementing the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee.
We must consciously be selfless contributors dedicated to creating happiness for the people, always placing the people in the highest position in our hearts, establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, following the Party's mass line in the new era, improving our ability to work with the masses, and solving the urgent, difficult, and worrying problems of the masses with heart and soul, constantly enhancing the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
-- Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, made an important instruction at the opening of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National Academy of Governance) in the spring semester of 2024.
The issue of the view of performance is a fundamental issue, concerning the Party's commitment to serving the public and governing for the people.
Huangshi City (黄石市), Hubei Province (湖北省), is a typical old industrial base. While promoting the accelerated development of industrialization, it has also left behind a batch of dilapidated houses. Two years ago, Wu Zhiling (吴之凌), the mayor of Huangshi City (黄石市), learned during a representative survey that 17 old buildings in Zaozishan Community (枣子山社区) were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and the masses had a very strong demand for the renovation of dilapidated houses.
"There is no small matter when it comes to dilapidated houses, and human life is paramount. If the people are worried, how can our cadres sleep?" Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) said that although the renovation of dilapidated houses faces difficulties such as demolition and funding, safety issues are urgent, and if the masses have ideas, the government must have solutions.
"Starting from reality and acting according to objective laws, there are no problems that cannot be solved. After multiple rounds of argumentation, adhering to overall planning and pilot projects, we have explored a path of Party building leadership, mass participation, government guidance, market operation, and overall balance in regional renovation," Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) said.
Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) introduced that the government started with regional planning, followed the standards of a complete community, supplemented whatever public services were lacking, and made up for shortcomings such as community roads and parking. It attracted operating entities to develop the area as a whole, and the built houses were partly used to resettle residents and partly sold to the public as commercial housing, which not only solved the problem of balancing funds for the renovation of dilapidated houses but also improved the living environment of the masses as a whole.
Currently, the main structure of all 8 new buildings in Zaozishan (枣子山) has been completed, and the interior and exterior decoration and renovation projects are basically completed. "The smiles and thumbs-up of the people are our greatest affirmation and our greatest achievement." Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) said that the fundamental reason why the masses praise them is that the cadres have responded to the people's expectations with solid work and have done practical things to the people's hearts.
From the renovation of urban villages, dilapidated houses, and old residential areas to the implementation of urban renewal actions, in the past five years, Huangshi (黄石) has renovated a total of 389 old residential areas and 5,600 dilapidated houses. Old residential areas built before 2000 have been renovated as much as possible, and the renovation of D-level dilapidated houses has achieved dynamic clearance.
"Arranging good housing, providing good care for the elderly, and nurturing the young well are our responsibilities that we must shoulder firmly." Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) said that people's livelihood is paramount, and governance is valuable in its consistency. We must firmly establish and practice a correct view of performance, integrate various resources and funds to tilt towards the field of people's livelihood, and strive to enable the people to have more tangible gains in the process of Chinese-style modernization.
[Connection]
A correct view of performance requires us to adhere to starting from reality and acting according to objective laws, and to create achievements that can withstand the test of practice and history, truly benefit the people, and be recognized by the masses through scientific decision-making and hard work. In the practice of enterprise innovation and development, we must adhere to the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, respect scientific laws, promote independent innovation, and concentrate on tackling key problems and continue to struggle.

The achievements of grassroots cadres are never the numbers on the reports or the highlights on the exhibition boards, but are reflected in the three meals and four seasons of the villagers. As a rural grassroots representative, we must not only do a good job in solving the urgent and difficult problems of the people at present, but also do a solid job in those things that lay the foundation and benefit the long term.

Party spirit plays a decisive role in establishing and practicing a correct view of performance.
Chen Baochao (陈保超) brought a basket of tomatoes when he came to Beijing (北京) to participate in the National People's Congress. "It's not for myself, but to help the villagers find sales channels." Chen Baochao (陈保超) is the Party branch secretary of Baiyunshan Village (白云山村), Lankao County (兰考县), Henan Province (河南省). He has "three sentences" that are impressive.
The first sentence is, "If the Party organization asks me to come back, I will come back."
Chen Baochao (陈保超) used to work outside, running restaurants and factories. In June 2017, the township Party committee and the village Party branch came to him, hoping that he would return to his hometown to lead the villagers to become rich. He agreed without hesitation. "I am a Party member. If the Party organization asks me to come back, I will come back."
Lankao (兰考) is the birthplace of the Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) spirit. Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) "had all the people in his heart, but not himself." The brilliance of Party spirit shining on him also infected Chen Baochao (陈保超).
There are thousands of things to do in poverty alleviation. Where to start? Chen Baochao (陈保超) studied Jiao Yulu's (焦裕禄) working methods, devoted himself to visiting the people, investigated at his own expense, and consulted experts to determine the direction of planting alkaline tomatoes. "**实事求是**" (shí shì qiú shì - "seek truth from facts," be practical and realistic). "Seeking truth from facts is not only a matter of thinking methods, but also a matter of whether the Party spirit is strong or not," Chen Baochao (陈保超) said.
The second sentence is, "Don't be a Party member if you are afraid of suffering losses."
At the beginning of the industry, villagers inevitably had concerns. Chen Baochao (陈保超) took the lead in contracting with his savings over the years. His sentence "I will be responsible for the losses" moved the villagers: "If you work with the Communist Party members, you will definitely succeed." So the villagers joined one after another.
"Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) led the people of Lankao (兰考) to fight against wind and sand and control saline-alkali land, putting personal gains and losses aside. The fundamental purpose of our Party is to serve the people wholeheartedly. Don't be a Party member if you are afraid of suffering losses." Chen Baochao (陈保超) studied technology in the greenhouse during the day and trained and explained to the villagers at night. Now the scale of greenhouses in the village has expanded to 165, with an annual output value of 8.5 million yuan.
The third sentence is: "Let's learn from Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄)."
Today, Baiyunshan Village (白云山村) produces 10 million catties of tomatoes annually, becoming the largest concentrated and contiguous tomato planting base in eastern Henan (豫东). Chen Baochao (陈保超) is even busier. He created a brand for tomatoes, built an e-commerce platform, and engaged in tourism research... When asked why he couldn't stop, Chen Baochao (陈保超) blurted out: "Let's learn from Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄)."
"Party spirit plays a decisive role in establishing and practicing a correct view of performance. Only by deeply studying, carefully examining, and earnestly practicing the 'Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) spirit' can we create achievements that can withstand the test," Chen Baochao (陈保超) said.

To establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must strengthen Party spirit, vigorously overcome short-sighted and utilitarian tendencies, and create solid achievements that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history. Chongzuo City (崇左市), Guangxi (广西), has unique location advantages. We will give full play to the advantages of "border", make full use of the "border" article, rely on the free trade zone and other open platforms, steadily promote institutional opening-up, and jointly build the western land-sea new channel at a high level, and build the border industrial park into an important carrier for facilitating domestic and international dual-cycle market operations, and promote high-quality development with high-level opening-up.
-- Chi Wei (迟威), Secretary of the Chongzuo Municipal Party Committee (崇左市委), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (广西壮族自治区)
Party spirit is the "main switch" for establishing and practicing a correct view of performance. Only by cultivating the "mind study" of Party spirit can we truly think clearly about who we are working for and who we are creating achievements for. As a grassroots cadre, I believe that achievements are not in the materials or in the slogans, but in specific people's livelihood matters. Doing practical things for the masses, not seeking false fame or engaging in empty work, is the most simple and practical achievement, and it is also the best exercise of Party spirit.

Creating benefits for the people is the greatest achievement.
Walking into Hailian Community (海连社区), Xinhai Street (新海街道), Haizhou District (海州区), Lianyungang City (连云港市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), bursts of laughter came from the childcare area, where children were playing games under the guidance of teachers; in the elderly care area, physiotherapy beds, walkers and other facilities were readily available.
Hailian Community (海连社区) has more than 7,000 residents, and the aging rate reaches 23%. "Working in the community, the achievement is not to see how beautiful the activity room is built, but to see whether the issues that the masses are most concerned about have been resolved." Li Xiaona (李肖娜), Secretary of the Party Committee of Hailian Community (海连社区), said, "We must always think about solving the urgent, difficult and worrying problems of the masses, and write the achievements in the people's sense of gain."
Usually, Li Xiaona (李肖娜) carries a notebook with her, and when she encounters residents' demands and governance problems, she records them and promotes their resolution. The community has difficulty in parking, so she found the developer and property management of the community, and ran around and coordinated in many ways to revitalize more than 100 underground parking spaces, and the underground parking lot that had been abandoned for 20 years was renewed; the elderly had difficulty in eating, so she tried to upgrade the community canteen many times to create the "Baisui Restaurant (百穗餐厅)", which receives more than 300 people per day and can also deliver meals to those who have difficulty in moving around for free...
In a survey, a takeaway rider complained to her: "The house numbers in the community are blurred and the building numbers are particularly difficult to find. When delivering, I often turn around in the community and can't find them, and each order takes a lot of time..." To this end, Li Xiaona (李肖娜) uniformly updated the building identification of 42 residential buildings in the community, and drew a "rider-friendly map" at the entrance of the community, marking the distribution and routes of the buildings, so that riders can quickly find their destination as soon as they enter the community. "Seemingly inconspicuous small problems are related to the riders' work experience and also to the quality of life of the masses, and cannot be taken lightly," she said.
At this year's National People's Congress, Li Xiaona (李肖娜) brought a special album - "Hailian Chronicles (海连记事)": the potholes on the road become smooth, the abandoned parking lot is renewed, and the children laugh in the托管班... Opening the album, the photos freeze the changes in the community. "Community work is connected to thousands of households. I will continue to pay attention to the new needs and new expectations of the masses, and make the community a 'home that you will never want to leave once you live in it'," Li Xiaona (李肖娜) said.

Creating benefits for the people is the greatest achievement. Guizhou (贵州) should base itself on the development foundation of big data, focus on the urgent, difficult and worrying problems of the masses, and use digitalization to make up for the shortcomings in people's livelihood services. Launch the "Guiren Zhiban (贵人智办)" AI assistant to realize "handling government services while chatting", so that data can run more and the masses can run less errands; promote the construction of digital villages, use big data to empower smart agriculture, and use data chains to build industrial chains; implement a table for grassroots governance to reduce the burden on the grassroots and make work efficient.

Education is related to the well-being of the people and social fairness. Today, the people's expectations for high-quality education and fair education are increasing day by day. The education department should establish a correct view of performance, focus on "补短板、强统筹、促公平" (bǔ duǎn bǎn, qiáng tǒng chóu, cù gōng píng - "strengthening weaknesses, strengthening overall planning, and promoting fairness") to accurately focus on efforts, and comprehensively build a fair and high-quality basic education system. On the one hand, we will continue to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, regions, and schools. Increase investment in schools in rural and remote areas, improve hardware facilities, promote the two-way flow of high-quality teachers, and rotate teaching positions, so that schools with weak teachers can quickly improve teaching quality. On the other hand, we will deepen the education resource sharing mechanism, rely on digital platforms to create a high-quality curriculum resource library, so that children in mountainous areas can listen to famous teachers' lectures at the same time, and let the sunshine of educational fairness warm every child.

Adhering to high-quality development should become an important part of the performance view of leading cadres.
"Some technological breakthroughs are calculated in units of decades." When talking about future industrial investment, Yuan Guohua (袁国华), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shanghai State-owned Capital Investment Co., Ltd. (上海国有资本投资有限公司), gave an example: nuclear fusion.
This field, known as the "ultimate energy", has gone through more than half a century from basic theory to engineering verification. Even in today's era of artificial intelligence accelerating the scientific research process, nuclear fusion still needs to go through multiple stages such as concept verification and engineering experiments, and each step requires long-term accumulation.
"If you only look at short-term results, it is easy to miss directions that are truly strategically significant." In Yuan Guohua's (袁国华) view, the development law of this type of cutting-edge technology itself raises a practical question: how to cultivate and strengthen future industries and help high-quality economic development?
Shanghai (上海) adheres to "long-termism" when promoting the development of future industries. In recent years, Shanghai Guotou (上海国投) has established a future industry fund, focusing on brain-computer interfaces, brain-like intelligence and other tracks, and specifically supporting the early incubation of cutting-edge technologies.
"In investment practice, the technical routes of some projects are not yet fully mature, but as long as the direction is strategically significant, we need to have the patience to accompany them." Yuan Guohua (袁国华) said that this long-term companionship is an important condition for the growth of future industries. Of course, patience does not mean blind investment. Future industrial investment also requires professional judgment, so that capital can both support long-term innovation and maintain sustainable operation.
In addition to financial support, Shanghai (上海) is also trying to create a better growth environment for future industries through ecological construction. For example, around the source of innovation, promote the establishment of an innovation matrix of "large institutes, large enterprises, large enterprises, large families, and large competitions"; initiate the establishment of the "Shanghai Future Start Community (上海未来启点社区)", so that scientists, entrepreneurs, investors and other innovative entities can fully communicate in the same space.
"The high-quality development of future industries is essentially a long-term accumulation." Yuan Guohua (袁国华) said that some achievements are visible and tangible, which are explicit; and some efforts are temporarily not visible, but are laying the foundation for the future. Only by integrating these two can we see results and shape development momentum.

To establish and practice a correct view of performance, adhere to high-quality development, requires us to make scientific decisions, combine with the actual development of the region, and consciously act according to the laws. The Taicang Port (太仓港) where I am located is the largest foreign trade port in the Yangtze River (长江). Under the guidance of the concept of "jointly grasping large-scale protection and not engaging in large-scale development", we promote the acceleration of low-carbon transformation, jointly build a green port with the State Grid Corporation, and deploy shore power berths and electric heavy trucks to help the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (长江经济带), and truly calibrate the view of performance with Party spirit.

In the next step, we must anchor the goals of clean production, ecological green, and low-carbon life, integrate the requirements of green transformation into the overall economic and social development, and make green a distinctive background color of high-quality development.

Adhere to "**功成不必在我、功成必定有我**" (gōng chéng bù bì zài wǒ, gōng chéng bì dìng yǒu wǒ - "achieving success does not necessarily require me, but achieving success definitely requires me," emphasizing long-term commitment and contribution to a cause), and achieve performance through solid work.
"At the end of last year, 48 local residents in Dalian (大连) collectively signed contracts to move from old houses with an average area of less than 25 square meters to new houses." At the representative residence, Zhang Debin (张德斌), Secretary of the Party General Branch of Zhanjia Village (战家村), Yangshufang Street (杨树房街道), Pulandian District (普兰店区), Dalian City (大连市), Liaoning Province (辽宁省), told a story he learned during a recent survey, "This completely solved the problem of local residents living without centralized heating, piped gas, and indoor toilets for decades."
Letting the residents receive this warmth is a reflection of the correct view of performance in Zhang Debin's (张德斌) eyes. These houses were built in the 1930s. In the 2022 dilapidated house renovation, the problems of centralized heating and other problems could not be solved because the building was a general immovable cultural relic. From 2024, residents reported their living difficulties to the government.
Can the "old accounts" be resolved? In 2025, this matter was included in the case ledger of the special action for centralized tackling of accumulated petition cases in Dalian (大连) to "resolve mass visits and solve people's worries". In response to historical legacy issues, relevant departments actively sought solutions, purchased existing commercial housing with government funds, and replaced the residents' original housing use rights with the newly purchased state-owned housing use rights.
Can "old accounts" be resolved? In 2025, this matter was included in the case ledger of the special campaign to "resolve mass petitions and address people's concerns" in Dalian (大连). Aiming at historical legacy issues, relevant departments actively sought solutions, purchasing existing commercial housing with government funds and using the newly purchased state-owned housing use rights to replace residents' original housing use rights.
"New officials managing old accounts manage the people's hearts, shoulder responsibilities, and rely on practical work." Zhang Debin (张德斌) said that in starting undertakings, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of achieving success without necessarily being the one to claim credit, but certainly contributing to the success. One should not be greedy for temporary achievements or seek temporary fame, but do more practical things that lay the foundation and benefit the long term. One should create real achievements with practical responsibility and win the people's hearts through hard work.
Zhang Debin (张德斌) said that since the beginning of this year, Dalian (大连) has clearly established the concept that "managing old accounts is also a political achievement," and has deployed and launched a new round of special campaign to "resolve mass petitions and address people's concerns," once again sounding the charge to address difficulties, respond to the concerns of the masses, and continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
"Next, I will practice my original aspiration of serving the people on the front line of comprehensive rural revitalization, and at the same time, give full play to the role of the people's congress representative, and actively promote the transformation of the people's worries into heartwarming matters," said Zhang Debin (张德斌).

Improve the performance evaluation system and make good use of the assessment baton.
"Taking practical work, practical achievements, and practical results as the criteria for evaluating heroes is an important basis for us to evaluate, reward, and punish cadres." At a panel meeting of the Zhejiang (浙江) delegation, the speech of Xu Zhangyan (徐张艳), Mayor of Quzhou (衢州) City, Zhejiang (浙江) Province, resonated with everyone.
Outside the venue, Xu Zhangyan (徐张艳) shared a small matter in her work with reporters. In Tongcun (桐村) Town, Kaihua (开化) County, Tong Zhangmin (童樟民), recognized by everyone as a "capable person," stood out in the annual assessment of village cadres in the town, and was newly elected as the Party Branch Secretary and Village Committee Director of Mencun (门村) Village in the reshuffle last year. Local cadres commented that Tong Zhangmin (童樟民) had dedicated himself to the position of Deputy Secretary of the Village Party Branch for many years, deeply cultivating the "hidden work" of the village collective, such as land transfer, variety improvement, and skills training, and the Party organization also saw these efforts.
In this regard, Tong Zhangmin (童樟民) was greatly encouraged: "In the past, it was difficult to stand out in doing foundational work, but now, by doing practical work in a down-to-earth manner, there is hope." He frankly said that in the past, he was busy running around, but lacked obvious political achievements and had been unknown. The turning point came in recent years, with a reform of the evaluation mechanism for party members and cadres related to "obvious achievements + hidden contributions + public reputation" quietly unfolding in Kaihua (开化) County.
The relevant person in charge of the County Party Committee Organization Department introduced that by adding four hidden indicators, such as the consolidation of the industrial base and the coverage of linking farmers and benefiting farmers, and supporting the "quarterly record and annual evaluation" tracking mechanism, the "invisible practical work" has an evaluation basis. Don't underestimate the silent cultivation. In 2024, the Party organization also included Tong Zhangmin's (童樟民) hidden work, such as solving the problem of land fragmentation, resolving inter-village disputes and contradictions, and introducing high-quality varieties, into the assessment scope, and he was therefore rated as an advanced individual.
"The optimization of the evaluation system has allowed those who silently lay the foundation and carefully plan for the long term to be recognized, and has also encouraged more grassroots cadres to calm down and do practical work, injecting lasting impetus into the common prosperity of the mountainous people," said Tong Zhangmin (童樟民).

Performance appraisal is not only a "yardstick" for evaluating work effectiveness, but also a "baton" for guiding work orientation, which is directly related to the work style of cadres and the quality and efficiency of development. Improving a scientific, standardized, pragmatic, and effective assessment mechanism can promote cadres to put their minds and energy into promoting development and benefiting people's livelihoods, and avoid emphasizing obvious achievements over potential achievements and emphasizing short-term over long-term. To make good use of the assessment "baton," the key lies in adhering to the orientation of practical achievements, the orientation of the masses, and the orientation of problems, comprehensively measuring development quality, people's livelihood improvement, ecological benefits, and many other aspects, strengthening the application of assessment results, rewarding the good and punishing the bad, and encouraging responsibility and action. As a village party general branch secretary, I will focus on industrial development and grassroots governance in my future work. Adhere to seeking truth from facts, doing practical work, not engaging in formalism, responding to assessments with practical achievements, winning trust with practical results, and promoting the comprehensive improvement of village-level work.
-- Yan Yongzhi (闫永志), Party General Branch Secretary of Wukeng (五坑) Village, Jiulong (九龙) Town, Yingzhou (颍州) District, Fuyang (阜阳) City, Anhui (安徽) Province
It is necessary to resolutely overcome the phenomenon of "two skins" between party building and business, and take the practical achievements of implementing the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people and serving the needs of national strategy as an important yardstick for measuring the responsibility and action of party members and cadres. The assessment and evaluation system should highlight political standards, focusing on whether the school's direction is accurate and the ideological front is solid; reflect the laws of education, pay more attention to the effectiveness of talent cultivation, the construction of teachers' ethics and style, and long-term academic contributions; strengthen accountability, and hold those who fail to fulfill their primary responsibility for comprehensively and strictly governing the party and those whose problems are strongly reflected by teachers and students accountable.

Promote the implementation of responsibilities for governing the party and administering party strictly.
"What is the main responsibility of the Party Committee?"
Pan Jian (盘健), Party Committee Secretary of Yaoshan (瑶山) Township, Hekou Yao Autonomous County (河口瑶族自治县), Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture (红河哈尼族彝族自治州), Yunnan (云南) Province, did not rush to answer, but first told a story -
Once, Pan Jian (盘健) and staff from the township discipline inspection commission inspected the construction of high-standard farmland pipelines in a village, but found that 50,000 yuan of funds for repairing water pipes had disappeared. It turned out that Wang (王), the original Party General Branch Secretary of the village, had embezzled public funds without authorization. In the end, Wang (王) was given the corresponding punishment.
"Corruption is just a superficial phenomenon, and what is exposed is the issue of atmosphere." Pan Jian (盘健) saw it clearly, "This village was not united enough before. When the village built a drying factory, some advocated operating it, and some advocated renting it out, which led to the factory being idle."
"What kind of cadres there are, there is what kind of atmosphere." Pan Jian's (盘健) answer was simple, "An important point in the main responsibility of the Party Committee is to select and use cadres well, and I also have the responsibility of the first person responsible."
This year, the village was reshuffled, and Pan Jian (盘健) spent a lot of effort on this. He said: "The newly appointed village cadres have brains and prestige. As soon as they took office, they planned a development path of 'under-forest mushroom + drying and processing', guided party members to show their identity and set an example, and the village collective income also reached a new level."
Pan Jian (盘健) admitted, "The reshuffle of the village 'two committees' cannot allow 'those with illnesses to take office', and it is necessary to clear out 'tainted' cadres and facilitate continued development."
To this end, Pan Jian (盘健) had in-depth talks with Wang (王) to do ideological work. Thanks to this, Wang (王) took the initiative to hand over his work and introduced his accumulated mushroom stick procurement channels to the village.
"High-quality development requires high-quality party building to lead it. We will continue to unite and lead the masses, and move forward bravely on the road of comprehensive rural revitalization with more pragmatic measures," said Pan Jian (盘健).

As the person in charge of a state-owned enterprise, I deeply know the importance of strengthening the construction of the enterprise leadership team and promoting the implementation of responsibilities for governing the party and administering party strictly. We will further improve the normalized supervision mechanism, highlight the supervision of the "top leader" and the leadership team, strengthen the supervision of major enterprise decision-making, important cadre appointments and removals, important project arrangements, and large amounts of funds, ensure that power operates on a standardized track, and provide a solid guarantee for the high-quality development of the enterprise. Continue to promote the deep integration of party building and business, give full play to the political and organizational functions of party organizations, and ensure that party organizations become strong fighting fortresses.
-- Li Shaoping (李少平), Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Xingfa Group Co., Ltd. (兴发集团有限责任公司)
For comprehensive rural revitalization, village cadres must first have the courage to take responsibility, and the village "two committees" cannot act as "hands-off managers," but must implement the main responsibility and shoulder the burden. I believe that the key to implementing the responsibility of governing the party and administering party strictly and establishing a correct view of political achievements is to place the operation of power under the sunshine. It is necessary to sort out the list of village-level "micro-powers," focus on corruption-prone links such as agricultural subsidies and collective "three assets" management, strictly implement the "four discussions and two disclosures" system, make good use of carriers such as village affairs disclosure columns to show the operation of power, let power operate under the supervision of the masses, and prevent unhealthy tendencies and corruption problems around the masses from the source.

During the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) sessions, the stories of the representatives and committee members performing their duties resonated with many, and among them, two stories about the "elderly and the young" were particularly touching.
Cao Chen (曹琛), Party Secretary of Xiaoying Lane Community, Xiaoying Street, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province (浙江省杭州市上城区小营街道小营巷社区党委书记), faced with a severe aging situation where the population over 60 years old accounted for 41% of the community, launched the "Xiaoyu Companion" service brand in 2023. She organized volunteer teams to deliver meals and assist the elderly, delivering a total of 21,000 lunches and knocking on the doors of more than 3,500 elderly people.
Fei Yingying (费英英), Deputy Director of the Women and Children Service Center in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City (深圳市宝安区妇女儿童服务中心副主任), has worked at the Bao'an District Social Welfare Center for over two decades. As a caregiver for orphaned and disabled children, she has participated in the care of more than 1,500 children and helped more than 800 orphaned and disabled children return to their families and integrate into society, affectionately known as "Mama Yingying." "People's livelihood 'small matters' are 'major matters' for national development. I will continue to be rooted in the grassroots, measure public sentiment with my footsteps, and let more frontline voices of people's livelihood reach the central government directly," said Fei Yingying (费英英).
The two stories share the same original aspiration in performing their duties and the same feelings for the people. This is a vivid reflection of establishing and practicing a correct view of performance.
At the crucial time node of the "15th Five-Year Plan" starting, the Party Central Committee decided to carry out study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of performance throughout the Party. Performance has never been shouted out, but rather achieved through hard work. How to transform blueprints into reality? The stories and insights of the representatives and committee members bring many inspirations.
Leading cadres must stand firmly on the people's position, regard benefiting the people as the greatest achievement, devote more energy to caring about the people's production and life, invest more financial resources in solving the most concerning, most direct, and most realistic interests of the people, and truly do good and practical things to the hearts of the people.
True performance is not only the "highlight moment" during one's tenure but also the "word-of-mouth" after leaving office. Ma Zhongming (马忠明), former Dean of the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences (甘肃省农业科学院原院长), has been rooted in the Hexi Corridor (河西走廊) for more than 30 years, promoting the technology of detoxification seedlings of ginseng fruit, which has greatly increased the income of farmers in Minqin County (民勤县). He actively promoted the inclusion of ginseng fruit and sand onion into the national "green channel" for the transportation of fresh agricultural products, helping "Gan Taste Out of Long" (甘味出陇). In Ma Zhongming's (马忠明) view, serving the people has no end, and as long as there is a need, it should be done for a lifetime. Party members and cadres should cultivate the realm of "achieving success does not necessarily require me, but achieving success definitely requires me," do more good deeds of "planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade," and make the foundation of development more solid, the momentum more sufficient, and the quality higher.
The great way is simple, and practical work is essential. To adhere to the correct view of performance, we must work hard and implement benefiting the people in a practical manner. Chen Shubo (陈树波), Director Physician of Xingtai People's Hospital, Hebei Province (河北省邢台市人民医院主任医师), focused on the pain points of family doctor contract services such as "signing without appointment" and "appointment without substance," traveled around to conduct research, and worked with other representatives to promote the introduction of the "Several Measures to Enhance the Experience of Family Doctor Contract Services" by six departments. The vast number of Party members and cadres must adhere to the principle of "doing" first, muster up the spirit of doing business and starting a career, stick to their posts, perform their duties, work year after year, and draw the blueprint into reality stroke by stroke.
To carry out study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, in the final analysis, is to let the vast number of Party members and cadres adhere to their original intentions and return to their original aspirations. Every Party member and cadre should take this as an opportunity to constantly ask themselves: What problems can I solve for the masses? What can I contribute to promoting high-quality development? When serving the Party for the public, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and working hard become conscious actions, "**党和国家事业就一定会不断积小胜为大胜**" (dǎng hé guó jiā shì yè jiù yī dìng huì bù duàn jī xiǎo shèng wéi dà shèng - "the cause of the Party and the country will surely accumulate small victories into big victories," continuous small successes will lead to overall victory), and "our goals will surely be achieved."

To establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must adhere to starting from reality and acting according to objective laws, consciously seeking to achieve performance for the people and through solid work.
-- January 20, 2026, Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized this in his important speech at the opening ceremony of the seminar for leading officials at the provincial and ministerial level to study and implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee.
We must consciously be selfless contributors dedicated to creating happiness for the people, always placing the people in the highest position in our hearts, establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, following the Party's mass line in the new era, improving our ability to work with the masses, and wholeheartedly solving the urgent and difficult problems that concern the masses, continuously enhancing the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
-- Xi Jinping (习近平), General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized this in his important instructions at the opening of the training course for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National Academy of Governance) in the spring semester of 2024.
The issue of the view of performance is a fundamental issue, concerning the Party's commitment to serving the public and governing for the people.
Huangshi City (黄石市), Hubei Province (湖北省), is a typical old industrial base. While promoting the accelerated development of industrialization, it also left behind a number of dilapidated houses. Two years ago, Wu Zhiling (吴之凌), the mayor of Huangshi City (黄石市), learned during a representative survey that 17 old buildings in Zaozishan Community (枣子山社区) were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and the masses had a strong demand for the renovation of dilapidated houses.
"There is no small matter when it comes to dilapidated houses, and human life is of paramount importance. How can we cadres sleep soundly when the people are worried and afraid?" Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) said that although the renovation of dilapidated houses faces difficulties such as demolition and funding, safety issues are urgent, and if the masses have ideas, the government must have solutions.
"Starting from reality and acting according to objective laws, there are no problems that cannot be solved. After multiple rounds of argumentation, adhering to overall planning and pilot projects, we have explored a path of Party building leadership, mass participation, government guidance, market operation, and area renovation with overall balance," Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) said.
Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) introduced that the government started with area planning, followed the standards of a complete community, supplemented any missing public services, made up for shortcomings in community roads and parking, and attracted operating entities to develop the area as a whole. The built houses were partly used to resettle residents and partly sold to the public as commercial housing, which not only solved the problem of balancing funds for the renovation of dilapidated houses but also improved the overall living environment of the masses.
Currently, the main structure of all eight new buildings in Zaozishan (枣子山) has been completed, and the interior and exterior decoration and renovation projects are basically completed. "The smiles and thumbs-up of the people are our greatest affirmation and our greatest achievement." Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) said that the fundamental reason why the masses praise them is that the cadres have responded to the people's expectations with solid work and have done practical things to the people's hearts.
From the renovation of urban villages, dilapidated houses, and old residential areas to the implementation of urban renewal actions, in the past five years, Huangshi (黄石) has renovated a total of 389 old residential areas and 5,600 dilapidated houses. Old residential areas built before 2000 have been renovated as much as possible, and the renovation of D-level dilapidated houses has achieved dynamic clearance.
"Arranging good housing, providing good care for the elderly, and nurturing the young are our responsibilities that we must shoulder firmly." Wu Zhiling (吴之凌) said that people's livelihood is paramount and governance is valuable in its consistency. We must firmly establish and practice a correct view of performance, integrate various resources and funds to tilt towards the field of people's livelihood, and strive to enable the people to have more tangible gains in the process of Chinese-style modernization.

The correct view of performance requires us to adhere to starting from reality and acting according to objective laws, and through scientific decision-making and hard work, create achievements that can withstand the test of practice and history, truly benefit the people, and be recognized by the masses. In the practice of enterprise innovation and development, we must adhere to the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, respect scientific laws, promote independent innovation, and concentrate on tackling key problems and continue to struggle.

The performance of grassroots cadres has never been the numbers on the reports or the highlights on the exhibition boards, but is reflected in the three meals and four seasons of the villagers. As a rural grassroots representative, we must not only do a good job in solving the urgent and difficult problems that the people are facing now, but also do a solid job in those things that lay the foundation and benefit the long term.

The decisive factor in establishing and practicing a correct view of performance is Party spirit.
Coming to Beijing (北京) to participate in the National People's Congress, Chen Baochao (陈保超) brought a basket of tomatoes. "It's not for myself, but to help the villagers find sales channels." Chen Baochao (陈保超) is the Party Branch Secretary of Baiyunshan Village (白云山村), Lankao County (兰考县), Henan Province (河南省). He has "three sentences" that are impressive.
The first sentence is, "If the Party organization asks me to come back, I will come back."
Chen Baochao (陈保超) had worked outside, running restaurants and factories. In June 2017, the township Party committee and the village Party branch came to him, hoping that he would return to his hometown to lead the villagers to become rich. He agreed without hesitation. "I am a Party member. If the Party organization asks me to come back, I will come back."
Lankao (兰考) is the birthplace of the Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) spirit. Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) "had all the people in his heart, but not himself." The brilliance of Party spirit shining on him also infected Chen Baochao (陈保超).
Poverty alleviation is a complex task. Where to start? Chen Baochao (陈保超) learned Jiao Yulu's (焦裕禄) working methods, devoted himself to visiting the people to understand their feelings, paid for his own investigations, and consulted experts to determine the direction of planting alkaline land tomatoes. "Seeking truth from facts is not just a matter of thinking methods, but also a matter of how strong the Party spirit is," Chen Baochao (陈保超) said.
The second sentence is, "Don't be a Party member if you're afraid of suffering losses."
At the beginning of the industry, villagers inevitably had concerns. Chen Baochao (陈保超) took the lead in contracting with his savings accumulated over the years. His sentence "I'll take the loss" moved the villagers: "Following the Communist Party members will surely succeed." So the villagers joined in one after another.
"Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) led the people of Lankao (兰考) to fight against wind and sand and control saline-alkali land, putting personal gains aside. The fundamental purpose of our Party is to serve the people wholeheartedly. Don't be a Party member if you're afraid of suffering losses." Chen Baochao (陈保超) studied technology in the greenhouse during the day and trained and explained to the villagers at night. Now the scale of greenhouses in the village has expanded to 165, with an annual output value of 8.5 million yuan.
The third sentence is: "Let's learn from Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄)."
Today, Baiyunshan Village (白云山村) produces 10 million catties of tomatoes annually, becoming the largest concentrated and contiguous tomato planting base in eastern Henan (豫东). Chen Baochao (陈保超) is even busier. He created a brand for tomatoes, built an e-commerce platform, and engaged in tourism research... When asked why he couldn't stop, Chen Baochao (陈保超) blurted out: "Let's learn from Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄)."
"The decisive factor in establishing and practicing a correct view of performance is Party spirit. Only by deeply studying, carefully examining, and earnestly practicing the 'Jiao Yulu (焦裕禄) spirit' can we create achievements that can withstand the test," Chen Baochao (陈保超) said.

To establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must strengthen Party spirit, vigorously guard against short-sighted utilitarian tendencies, and create practical results that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history. Chongzuo City (崇左市), Guangxi (广西), has unique location advantages. We will give full play to the advantages of the "border," make full use of the "border," rely on open platforms such as the Free Trade Zone, steadily promote institutional opening-up, jointly build the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor at a high level, and build the border industrial park into an important carrier for facilitating domestic and international dual-cycle market operations, and promote high-quality development with high-level opening-up.
-- Chi Wei (迟威), Secretary of the Chongzuo Municipal Party Committee (崇左市委), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (广西壮族自治区)
To establish and practice a correct view of performance, Party spirit is the "master switch." Only by cultivating the "inner learning" of Party spirit can we truly think clearly about who we are working for and who we are creating achievements for. As a grassroots cadre, I believe that performance is not in the materials or in the slogans, but in concrete matters of people's livelihood. Doing practical things for the people, not seeking false fame or engaging in empty work, is the most simple and practical performance, and it is also the best way to temper Party spirit.

Serving the people is the greatest achievement.
Walking into Hailian Community (海连社区), Xinhai Street (新海街道), Haizhou District (海州区), Lianyungang City (连云港市), Jiangsu Province (江苏省), bursts of laughter came from the childcare area, where children were playing games under the guidance of teachers; in the elderly care area, physiotherapy beds, walkers, and other facilities were readily available.
Hailian Community (海连社区) has more than 7,000 residents, and the aging rate has reached 23%. "Working in the community, the achievement is not to see how beautiful the activity room is built, but to see whether the issues that the masses are most concerned about have been resolved." Li Xiaona (李肖娜), secretary of the Party Committee of Hailian Community (海连社区), said, "We must always think about solving the urgent and difficult problems that concern the masses and write the achievements in the people's sense of gain."
Usually, Li Xiaona (李肖娜) carries a notebook with her, and when she encounters residents' demands and governance problems, she records them and promotes their resolution. The community has difficulty parking, so she found the developers and property management of the community, ran around and coordinated, revitalized more than 100 underground parking spaces, and the underground parking lot that had been abandoned for 20 years was焕然一新 (huàn rán yī xīn - "焕然一新," take on a completely new appearance). The elderly have difficulty eating, so she tried to upgrade the community canteen many times, creating the "Baisui Restaurant," which receives more than 300 people a day and can also deliver meals to those with mobility problems for free...
In a survey, a food delivery rider complained to her: "The house numbers in the community are blurred and the building numbers are particularly difficult to find. When delivering, I often घूम around the community for a long time and can't find them. Each order takes a lot of time..." To this end, Li Xiaona (李肖娜) uniformly updated the building identification of 42 residential buildings in the community and drew a "rider-friendly map" at the entrance of the community, marking the distribution and routes of the buildings, so that riders can quickly find their destination as soon as they enter the community. "Seemingly inconspicuous small problems are related to the riders' work experience and also to the quality of life of the masses, and cannot be taken lightly," she said.
This year's National People's Congress, Li Xiaona (李肖娜) brought a special photo album - "Hailian Chronicles": the bumpy road surface becomes smooth, the abandoned parking lot is renewed, the children laugh in the托管班 (tuō guǎn bān - "托管班," after-school care class)... Opening the photo album, the photos freeze the changes in the community. "Community work is connected to thousands of households. I will continue to pay attention to the new needs and new expectations of the masses and make the community a 'home that you never want to leave once you live in it'," Li Xiaona (李肖娜) said.

Serving the people is the greatest achievement. Guizhou (贵州) should be based on the development foundation of big data, focus on the urgent and difficult problems that concern the masses, and use digitalization to make up for the shortcomings in people's livelihood services. Launch the "Guiren Zhiban" AI assistant to realize "handling government services while chatting," so that data can run more and the masses can run less; promote the construction of digital villages, use big data to empower smart agriculture, and use data chains to build industrial chains; implement a single table for grassroots governance to reduce the burden on the grassroots and make work efficient.

Education is related to the well-being of the people and social equity. Today, the people's expectations for high-quality education and fair education are increasing day by day. The education department should establish a correct view of performance, focus on "补短板、强统筹、促公平 (bǔ duǎn bǎn, qiáng tǒng chóu, cù gōng píng - "补短板、强统筹、促公平," make up for shortcomings, strengthen overall planning, and promote fairness)" to accurately focus on efforts, and comprehensively build a fair and high-quality basic education system. On the one hand, continue to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, regions, and schools. Increase investment in schools in rural and remote areas, improve hardware facilities, promote the two-way flow of high-quality teachers, and rotate teaching positions, so that schools with weak teaching staff can quickly improve teaching quality. On the other hand, deepen the sharing mechanism of educational resources, rely on digital platforms to create high-quality curriculum resource libraries, so that children in mountainous areas can listen to famous teachers' lectures simultaneously, and let the sunshine of educational equity warm every child.

Adhering to high-quality development should become an important part of the performance view of leading cadres.
"Some technological breakthroughs are calculated in units of decades." When talking about future industrial investment, Yuan Guohua (袁国华), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shanghai State-owned Capital Investment Co., Ltd. (上海国有资本投资有限公司), gave an example: nuclear fusion.
This field, known as "ultimate energy," has gone through more than half a century from basic theory to engineering verification. Even today, when artificial intelligence is accelerating the scientific research process, nuclear fusion still needs to go through multiple stages such as concept verification and engineering experiments, and each step requires long-term accumulation.
"If you only look at short-term results, it is easy to miss directions that are truly strategically significant." In Yuan Guohua's (袁国华) view, the development law of this type of cutting-edge technology itself raises a practical question: how to cultivate and strengthen future industries and help high-quality economic development?
Shanghai (上海) adheres to "long-termism" when promoting the development of future industries. In recent years, Shanghai Guotou (上海国投) has established a future industry fund, focusing on brain-computer interfaces, brain-like intelligence, and other tracks, specifically to support the early incubation of cutting-edge technologies.
"In investment practice, the technical routes of some projects are not yet fully mature, but as long as the direction is strategically significant, we need to have the patience to accompany them." Yuan Guohua (袁国华) said that this long-term companionship is an important condition for the growth of future industries. Of course, patience does not mean blind investment. Future industrial investment also requires professional judgment so that capital can support long-term innovation and maintain sustainable operation.
In addition to financial support, Shanghai (上海) is also trying to create a better growth environment for future industries through ecological construction. For example, around the source of innovation, promote the establishment of an innovation matrix of "large institutes, large research centers, large enterprises, great minds, and major competitions"; initiate the establishment of the "Shanghai Future Start Community" to allow scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, and other innovative entities to fully communicate in the same space.
"The high-quality development of future industries is essentially a long-term accumulation." Yuan Guohua (袁国华) said that some achievements are visible and tangible, which are explicit; and some efforts are temporarily not visible, but are laying the foundation for the future. Only by coordinating these two can we see results and shape development momentum.

To establish and practice a correct view of performance, adhering to high-quality development requires us to make scientific decisions, combine with the actual development of the region, and consciously act according to objective laws. The Taicang Port (太仓港) where I am located is the largest foreign trade port in the Yangtze River (长江). Under the guidance of the concept of "jointly grasping large-scale protection and not engaging in large-scale development," we are promoting the acceleration of low-carbon transformation, jointly building a green port with the State Grid Corporation (国家电网公司), deploying shore power berths and electric heavy trucks, helping the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt (长江经济带), and effectively calibrating the view of performance with Party spirit.

In the next step, we must anchor the goals of clean production, ecological greening, and low-carbon living, integrate the requirements of green transformation into the overall economic and social development, and make green the distinctive background color of high-quality development.

Adhere to the idea that success does not have to be achieved by me, but success must have me, and achieve performance through solid work.
"At the end of last year, 48 local residents in Dalian (大连) collectively signed contracts to move from old houses with an average area of less than 25 square meters to new houses." At the representative residence, Zhang Debin (张德斌), secretary of the Party General Branch of Zhanjia Village (战家村), Yangshufang Street (杨树房街道), Pulandian District (普兰店区), Dalian City (大连市), Liaoning Province (辽宁省), told a story he learned during a recent survey, "This completely solved the problem of local residents living without centralized heating, piped gas, and indoor toilets for decades."
In Zhang Debin's (张德斌) view, allowing residents to receive this warmth is a reflection of the correct view of performance. These houses were built in the 1930s. During the dilapidated house renovation in 2022, the problems of centralized heating could not be solved because the building was a general immovable cultural relic. From 2024, residents reported their living difficulties to the government.
Can the "old accounts" be resolved? In 2025, this matter was included in the case ledger of the special action for centralized tackling of accumulated petition cases of "化群访、解民忧 (huà qún fǎng, jiě mín yōu - "化群访、解民忧," transforming mass visits into resolving people's worries)" in Dalian (大连). In response to historical legacy issues, relevant departments actively sought solutions, purchased existing commercial housing with government funds, and replaced the residents' original housing use rights with the newly purchased state-owned housing use rights.
Can "old accounts" be resolved? In 2025, this matter was included in the Dalian "Defuse Mass Petitions, Resolve People's Concerns" special campaign case ledger for tackling accumulated petition cases. Addressing historical legacy issues, relevant departments actively sought solutions, purchasing existing commercial housing with government funds and exchanging residents' original housing use rights for the use rights of newly purchased state-owned housing.
"New officials managing old accounts are managing the people's hearts, shouldering responsibility, and relying on practical work." Zhang Debin (张德斌) said that in starting undertakings, one must adhere to the idea that success does not necessarily have to be achieved in one's own time, but one's own contribution is indispensable; not seeking temporary achievements or fame, but doing more practical things that lay the foundation and benefit the long term; creating real achievements with practical responsibility, and winning the people's hearts through hard work.
Zhang Debin (张德斌) said that since the beginning of this year, Dalian (大连) has clearly established the concept that "managing old accounts is also a political achievement," and has deployed and launched a new round of special campaign to "defuse mass petitions and resolve people's concerns," once again sounding the charge to tackle difficult issues, responding to the concerns of the masses, and continuously enhancing the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
"Next, I will practice my original intention of serving the people on the front line of comprehensive rural revitalization, and at the same time, give full play to the role of the people's congress representative, and actively promote the handling of the people's worries into heartwarming matters," said Zhang Debin (张德斌).

Adhere to performing duties for the people, focus on the hot and difficult issues of people's livelihood, conduct in-depth investigations and research at the grassroots level, and provide accurate suggestions and advice; be determined to forge ahead, do a good job in education that satisfies the people, promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of medical services, promote the prosperity and development of cultural undertakings, increase multi-level and diversified service supply, and continuously enhance people's well-being. It is necessary to take into account both "visible achievements" and "latent achievements," balance current development and long-term layout, and create achievements that can stand the test of practice, the people, and history.
-- Meng Dongmei (孟冬梅), Vice Chairman of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the China Association for Promoting Democracy and Deputy Head of the Hexi District of Tianjin (天津市河西区)
Putting the warmth and coldness of the people in mind is the only way to ensure that political achievements can stand the test. At the beginning of this year, I and my colleagues conducted research on enterprises and solved problems existing in energy use, logistics, and supply chains on the spot, clearing construction blockages, which was affirmed by the enterprises. We must act as executors, actionists, and pragmatists, and with the responsibility of "success does not necessarily have to be achieved in one's own time, but one's own contribution is indispensable," do our work to the heart of the people, and transform every achievement of high-quality development into the "steady happiness" of the masses.

Improve the performance evaluation system and make good use of the assessment baton.
"Taking practical work, practical achievements, and practical results as the criteria for evaluating heroes is an important basis for our evaluation, commendation, and punishment of cadres." At a panel meeting of the Zhejiang (浙江) delegation, the speech of Xu Zhangyan (徐张艳), Mayor of Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province (浙江省衢州市), resonated with everyone.
Outside the venue, Xu Zhangyan (徐张艳) shared a small incident in her work with reporters. In Tongcun Town (桐村镇), Kaihua County (开化县), Tong Zhangmin (童樟民), recognized by everyone as a "capable person," stood out in the annual assessment of village cadres in the town, and was newly elected as the Party Branch Secretary and Village Committee Director of Mencun Village (门村村) in the last election. Local cadres commented that Tong Zhangmin (童樟民) had devoted many years to the position of Deputy Secretary of the village Party branch, deeply cultivating the village collective's "implicit work" such as land transfer, variety improvement, and skills training, and the Party organization also sees these efforts.
In this regard, Tong Zhangmin (童樟民) was greatly encouraged: "In the past, it was difficult to stand out in the work of laying the foundation, but now it is promising to do practical things." He frankly said that in the past, he was busy running around, but lacked visible political achievements and had been unknown. The turning point came in recent years, with a reform of the evaluation mechanism for party members and cadres related to "visible achievements + implicit contributions + public reputation" quietly unfolding in Kaihua County (开化县).
The relevant person in charge of the County Party Committee Organization Department introduced that by adding four implicit indicators, including the consolidation of the industrial base and the coverage of linking farmers and benefiting farmers, and supporting the "quarterly record, annual evaluation" tracking mechanism, the "invisible practical work" has an evaluation basis. Don't underestimate the silent cultivation. In 2024, the Party organization also included Tong Zhangmin's (童樟民) implicit work in solving the problem of land fragmentation, resolving inter-village disputes and contradictions, and introducing high-quality varieties into the assessment scope, and he was therefore rated as an advanced individual.
"The optimization of the evaluation system allows those who silently lay the foundation and carefully plan for the long term to be recognized, and also encourages more grassroots cadres to calm down and do practical things, injecting lasting impetus into the common prosperity of the people in the mountainous areas," said Tong Zhangmin (童樟民).
[Connection]
Performance appraisal is not only a "measuring tool" for evaluating work effectiveness, but also a "baton" for guiding work orientation, which is directly related to the work style of cadres and the quality and efficiency of development. Improving a scientific, standardized, pragmatic, and effective assessment mechanism can promote cadres to put their minds and energy into promoting development and benefiting people's livelihoods, and avoid emphasizing visible achievements over latent achievements and emphasizing short-term over long-term. To make good use of the assessment "baton," the key lies in adhering to the orientation of practical achievements, the orientation of the masses, and the orientation of problems, comprehensively measuring development quality, people's livelihood improvement, ecological benefits, and many other aspects, strengthening the application of assessment results, rewarding the good and punishing the bad, and encouraging responsibility. As the Party Branch Secretary of a village, I will focus on industrial development and grassroots governance as the focus of my work in the future. Adhere to seeking truth from facts, doing practical work, not engaging in formalism, responding to assessments with practical achievements, winning trust with practical results, and promoting the comprehensive improvement of village-level work.
-- Yan Yongzhi (闫永志), Party Branch Secretary of Wukeng Village (五坑村), Jiulong Town (九龙镇), Yingzhou District (颍州区), Fuyang City, Anhui Province (安徽省阜阳市)
It is necessary to resolutely overcome the phenomenon of "two skins" between Party building and business, and take the practical achievements of implementing the fundamental task of establishing morality and cultivating people and serving the needs of national strategy as an important yardstick for measuring the responsibility of Party members and cadres. The assessment and evaluation system should highlight political standards, focusing on whether the school's direction is accurate and the ideological front is solid; reflect the laws of education, pay more attention to the effectiveness of talent training, the construction of teachers' ethics and style, and long-term academic contributions; strengthen accountability, and hold those who fail to fulfill their main responsibility for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party and whose problems reflected by teachers and students are prominent accountable.

Promote the implementation of responsibilities for governing the Party and administering governance.
"What is the main responsibility of the Party committee?"
Pan Jian (盘健), Party Secretary of Yaoshan Township (瑶山乡), Hekou Yao Autonomous County (河口瑶族自治县), Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture (红河哈尼族彝族自治州), Yunnan Province (云南省), did not rush to answer, but first told a story—
Once, Pan Jian (盘健) and staff from the township discipline inspection commission inspected the construction of high-standard farmland pipelines in a certain village, but found that 50,000 yuan of funds for repairing water pipes had disappeared. It turned out that Wang (王), the former Party Branch Secretary of the village, had embezzled public funds without authorization. In the end, Wang (王) was given the corresponding punishment.
"Corruption is only a superficial phenomenon, and what is exposed is the issue of atmosphere." Pan Jian (盘健) saw it clearly, "This village was not united enough before. When the village built a drying factory, some advocated operating it, and some advocated renting it out, and there was no consensus, which led to the factory being idle."
"What kind of cadres there are, there is what kind of atmosphere." Pan Jian's (盘健) answer was simple, "An important point in the main responsibility of the Party committee is to select and use cadres well, and I also have the responsibility of the first person responsible."
This year, the village had an election, and Pan Jian (盘健) worried a lot about it. He said, "The newly appointed village cadres have brains and prestige. As soon as they took office, they planned a development path of 'under-forest mushroom + drying and processing,' guiding Party members to show their identity and set an example, and the village's collective income has also reached a new level."
Pan Jian (盘健) admitted, "There must be no 'taking office with illness' in the village committee election. It is necessary to clear out 'tainted' cadres and facilitate continued development."
To this end, Pan Jian (盘健) had in-depth talks with Wang (王) to do ideological work. Thanks to this, Wang (王) took the initiative to hand over his work and introduced his accumulated mushroom stick procurement channels to the village.
"High-quality development requires high-quality Party building to lead. We will continue to unite and lead the masses, and take more pragmatic measures to move forward bravely on the road of comprehensive rural revitalization," said Pan Jian (盘健).

As the person in charge of a state-owned enterprise, I deeply know the importance of strengthening the construction of the enterprise leadership team and promoting the implementation of responsibilities for governing the Party and administering governance. We will further improve the normalized supervision mechanism, highlight the supervision of the "top leader" and the leadership team, strengthen the supervision of major enterprise decision-making, the appointment and removal of important cadres, the arrangement of important projects, and the use of large amounts of funds, ensure that power operates on a standardized track, and provide a solid guarantee for the high-quality development of the enterprise. Continue to promote the deep integration of Party building and business, give full play to the political and organizational functions of Party organizations, and ensure that Party organizations become strong fighting fortresses.
-- Li Shaoping (李少平), Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Xingfa Group Co., Ltd. (兴发集团有限责任公司)
For the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside, village cadres must first have the courage to take responsibility, and the village committee cannot act as a "hands-off shopkeeper," but must implement the main responsibility and take on the burden. I believe that the key to implementing the responsibility of governing the Party and administering governance and establishing a correct view of political achievements is to place the operation of power under the sun. It is necessary to sort out the list of village-level "micro-powers," closely monitor corruption-prone links such as agricultural subsidies and collective "three-asset" management, strictly implement the "four discussions and two disclosures" system, and use village affairs disclosure columns and other carriers to publicize the operation of power, so that power operates under the supervision of the masses, and prevent unhealthy tendencies and corruption problems around the masses from the source.

During the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) sessions, the stories of representatives and committee members performing their duties resonated with the public, and among them, two stories about the "elderly and the young" were particularly touching.
Cao Chen (曹琛), Party Secretary of Xiaoying Lane Community in Xiaoying Street, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province (浙江省杭州市上城区小营街道小营巷社区), faced with a deep aging situation where the population over 60 years old accounted for 41% of the community. In 2023, she launched the "Little Rain Accompanies Me" service brand, forming a volunteer team to deliver meals and assist the elderly, delivering a total of 21,000 lunches and knocking on the doors of more than 3,500 elderly people.
Fei Yingying (费英英), Deputy Director of the Women and Children Service Center in Bao'an District, Shenzhen (深圳市宝安区妇女儿童服务中心), has worked at the Bao'an District Social Welfare Center (宝安区社会福利中心) for more than two decades. As a caregiver for orphaned and disabled children, she has participated in caring for more than 1,500 children and helped more than 800 orphaned and disabled children return to their families and integrate into society, affectionately known as "Mom Yingying." "The 'small matters' of people's livelihoods are the 'major affairs' of national development. I will continue to be rooted in the grassroots, measure public sentiment with my footsteps, and let more voices of people's livelihoods at the front line reach the central government directly," said Fei Yingying.
Two stories, the same original intention to perform duties, the same feelings for the people, which is a vivid reflection of establishing and practicing a correct view of performance.
At the crucial time node of the "15th Five-Year Plan" starting, the Party Central Committee decided to carry out study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of performance throughout the Party. Performance has never been shouted out, but done. How to transform the blueprint into a real scene? The stories and insights of representatives and committee members performing their duties bring many inspirations.
Leading cadres should stand firmly on the people's position, take serving the people as the greatest achievement, devote more energy to caring about the production and life of the masses, invest more financial resources in solving the most concerning, most direct, and most realistic interests of the masses, and truly do good and practical things to the hearts of the masses.
True achievements are not only the "highlight moments" during the tenure, but also the "word-of-mouth" after leaving office. Ma Zhongming (马忠明), former President of the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences (甘肃省农业科学院), has been rooted in the Hexi Corridor (河西走廊) for more than 30 years, promoting the detoxification seedling technology of ginseng fruit, which has greatly increased the income of farmers in Minqin County (民勤县). He actively promoted the inclusion of ginseng fruit and sand onion into the "green channel" for the transportation of national fresh agricultural products, helping "Gan Taste Out of Gansu" (甘味出陇). In Ma Zhongming's view, there is no end to serving the people, as long as there is a need, it will be done for a lifetime. Party members and cadres should cultivate the realm of "achieving success does not necessarily have to be me, but achieving success must have me," do more good things of "predecessors planting trees, later generations enjoying the shade," so that the foundation of development is more solid, the stamina is stronger, and the quality is higher.
The great way is simple, and practical work is essential. To adhere to the correct view of performance, we must do practical work and implement the welfare of the people. Chen Shubo (陈树波), Chief Physician of Xingtai People's Hospital in Hebei Province (河北省邢台市人民医院), focused on the pain points of family doctor contract services such as "signing without appointment" and "appointment without substance," traveled around to investigate, and worked with other representatives to promote the introduction of "Several Measures to Enhance the Experience of Family Doctor Contract Services" by six departments. The majority of party members and cadres should adhere to the principle of doing, muster up the spirit of doing business and starting a business, stick to their posts, perform their duties, do it year after year, and draw the blueprint in detail.
Carrying out study and education on establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, in the final analysis, is to let the majority of party members and cadres adhere to their original intentions and return to their original aspirations. Every party member and cadre should take this as an opportunity to constantly ask themselves: What problems can I solve for the masses? What can I contribute to promoting high-quality development? When serving the public wholeheartedly, benefiting the people, making scientific decisions, and doing practical work become conscious actions, "the cause of the Party and the country will surely continue to accumulate small victories into big victories, and our goals will surely be achieved."

Promote the Integrated Development of Education, Science and Technology, and Talent
"Challenges in skills transformation and the need to stimulate the innovation vitality of employees are issues that must be resolved in the process of intelligent transformation of manufacturing. This requires taking the initiative in the integrated development of science, technology, education, and talent." Hu Wangming (胡望明), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Baowu, said that it is necessary to focus on the needs of industrial development and industrial technological innovation and promote the integrated reform of education, science, technology, and talent. Improve the digital and intelligent skills formation system, accelerate the innovation of labor employment system, build an innovation ecosystem for all employees, and activate the innovation vitality of employees with artificial intelligence.
Sun Dongwei (孙东伟), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Shandong Luhua Group Co., Ltd., believes that to strengthen the introduction and cultivation of talents, it is necessary to build a group of leading peanut industry enterprises that can drive farmers and lead development, continuously activate the vitality of labor, technology, management and other production factors, continuously promote the stable area, increase yield and increase efficiency of the peanut industry, and promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries. To stabilize the development of grain and oil production, it is necessary to strengthen the support of science and technology equipment, increase the application of scientific and technological innovation achievements such as seed industry and agricultural machinery, and improve the comprehensive production capacity and quality benefits of agriculture.
Cheng Wei (程伟), Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman and General Manager of China Mobile Communications Group Hunan Co., Ltd., said that it is necessary to deepen the empowerment of artificial intelligence technology, cultivate more talents in the field of artificial intelligence, support leading enterprises and research institutions to open up scenarios and share data, jointly build large models and solutions in vertical fields with artificial intelligence enterprises, and form standardized application models that can be replicated and promoted. At the same time, encourage the use of artificial intelligence, digital twins and other technologies to create immersive, experiential and diversified consumption scenarios.

Achieve New Breakthroughs in Strengthening Original Innovation and Tackling Key Core Technologies, and Seizing the High Ground of Science and Technology
Song Hailiang (宋海良), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Communications Construction Group, believes that it is necessary to firmly adhere to independent innovation and transform "bottlenecks" into "fulcrums" for development. The key lies in transforming thinking, strengthening technology, and promoting integration. It is necessary to transform to innovation-driven and digital-intelligence-driven; to strengthen technology empowerment and promote the "Comprehensive Transportation Big Model"; to deepen integrated innovation and combine the traditional advantages of "full industrial chain integration" with the new model of "eight-network integration." At present, China Communications Construction Group is systematically integrating new energy, digitalization, ecological governance and other elements into transportation projects, shifting from single project profits to comprehensive benefits throughout the life cycle and multiple links.
Sun Ze Zhou (孙泽洲), a representative from China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, said that to solidly promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, it is necessary to increase the supply of high-quality technology and consolidate the foundation for integrated development. We must strive to seize the "no man's land" of technology and continuously produce major original and disruptive scientific and technological achievements to provide strong impetus for economic and social development. Taking the aerospace field as an example, a method for preparing amorphous alloys obtained from space experiments has been widely used in mass-produced parts for new energy vehicles and smart terminal equipment. As of now, the Chinese Space Station has deployed and implemented 267 space science and application projects in orbit.
Lei Yafei (雷亚飞), Chief Engineer of the Deep Sea Engineering Research Center of China National Offshore Oil Corporation Hainan Branch, introduced that Hainan has significant location advantages for offshore oil and gas resource development. Relying on local support and guarantee facilities, it will continue to promote the tackling of deep-sea equipment and key core technologies, fully release the new quality productive forces of marine energy, and accelerate the research and development and achievement transformation of deep-sea equipment in the future.
Hou Jingbin (侯景滨), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Lucky Group Co., Ltd., suggested, "We should build a deeply integrated innovation system of 'government, industry, academia, research, and finance' to promote the efficient flow of factors such as capital, technology, talent, and policies. Integrate national-level scientific research platform resources, support 'chain leader' enterprises to jointly build specialized research and development platforms with national laboratories and key universities, promote the collaborative model of 'enterprises proposing questions, institutions answering questions, and markets verifying effectiveness,' and achieve efficient utilization of innovation resources and rapid transformation of innovation results."

Explore New Ways to Promote the Deep Integration of Innovation Chain, Industrial Chain, Capital Chain, and Talent Chain, and Promote the Efficient Transformation and Application of Scientific and Technological Achievements
"Enterprises have the inherent motivation to naturally connect science and technology with industry, and are the main force in developing new quality productive forces. It is necessary to strengthen the main position of enterprises in innovation." Liu Qingfeng (刘庆峰), Chairman of iFlytek, suggested that enterprises should be encouraged to increase investment in key core technology fields, "play the leading role" in the integration of industry, academia, and research, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and create scientific research results that are closely related to market demand and have more precise application value.
Han Jiecai (韩杰才), President of Harbin Institute of Technology, believes that to promote the deep integration of the "four chains," universities must break down barriers and achieve a breakthrough from "waiting for results to be discovered" to "actively and accurately transforming." Harbin Institute of Technology is actively exploring new ways, making forward-looking arrangements to jointly establish the Aerospace Academy with Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China and jointly establish the Agricultural Artificial Intelligence Academy with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, directly anchoring talent cultivation to industrial needs. Harbin Institute of Technology will continue to support the height of industry with solid basic research, and accelerate the transformation of more cutting-edge achievements into new quality productive forces in new tracks such as commercial aerospace and smart agriculture.
He Xiongbin (何雄斌), First Party Branch Secretary and Power Workshop Director of Haili Guixi New Material Technology Co., Ltd., suggested that a new era skills talent cultivation plan should be formulated and implemented, and platforms should be built for skills talents to select, cultivate, grow, improve, expand, communicate, and display skills, and continuously innovate skills talent cultivation models. Further improve talent policies in terms of housing, medical care, schooling, professional title evaluation, innovation and entrepreneurship, etc., to help enterprises attract and retain more highly skilled talents. Private enterprises should improve the promotion and development channels for skilled talents, cultivate and select reserve forces within the enterprise, and organize them to participate in vocational skills competitions, short-term advanced studies in universities, etc., to gradually form a talent echelon training system.
Ma Kui (马奎), Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman and General Manager of China Mobile Communications Group Sichuan Co., Ltd., believes that it is necessary to focus on cultivating the "artificial intelligence + computing power" industrial cluster and strengthen industrial planning and policy support. Formulate a special plan for the development of intelligent computing power and coordinate the construction of new infrastructure. At the same time, strengthen the guarantee of factors such as electricity and capital, and improve the support mechanism for intelligent computing projects and innovative applications. In addition, increase support for technological innovation and enhance the radiation capacity of applications.

Create a New Situation in Optimizing and Upgrading Traditional Industries, Cultivating and Strengthening Emerging Industries, and Making Forward-Looking Arrangements for Future Industries
Pan Fusheng (潘复生), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Professor of Chongqing University, said that new quality productive forces should be developed in combination with local advantages, characteristics, and economic development needs. Automobiles are Chongqing's largest industry, and Chongqing has huge market demand in the fields of automotive lightweighting and energy storage. Chongqing also has an advanced magnesium alloy material research platform and leading technology. The combination of market and technology gives Chongqing a unique advantage in developing new industries such as magnesium materials.
Xu Bo (许波), Vice President of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, said that transformation and upgrading is a must-answer question for nonferrous metal enterprises to achieve high-quality development. At present, some enterprises have built unmanned processes for the storage and transportation of electrolytic anode plates and the storage and transportation of cathode plates, realizing full coverage of advanced control models for the main process of copper smelting. We must adhere to the guidance of scientific and technological innovation, extend to the high end of the industrial chain, increase the added value of products, reduce costs and increase efficiency through the application of "artificial intelligence +" and "industrial Internet" scenarios, and play a "combination punch" of clean energy substitution and comprehensive resource utilization to achieve collaborative carbon reduction throughout the industrial chain.
"Emerging industries and future industries are key aids in participating in international competition and expanding domestic demand." Li Mengjiao (李萌娇), Deputy Chairman of the Liaoning Provincial Committee of the China Democratic League, said that in the process of artificial intelligence application and intelligent body industry development, it is necessary to firmly adhere to the safety bottom line, ensure that terminals such as mobile phones and computers are always controlled by people, strictly follow the "minimum necessary principle" in the Personal Information Protection Law, and limit the collection and processing of personal information to the extent necessary to achieve functions.
Chen Huqing (陈恢清), Deputy Secretary of the Zhuzhou Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Hunan Province, suggested that in order to seize the commanding heights of future industrial competition, the national level should strengthen overall deployment, vigorously carry out the "artificial intelligence + advanced manufacturing" demonstration action, build a number of demonstration cities, and accelerate the intelligent transformation process of manufacturing from point to area, providing solid support and typical demonstration for comprehensively building a manufacturing power and following a new path of industrialization with Chinese characteristics.

Achieve New Results in Further Deepening Reform and Removing Institutional and Mechanism Obstacles Restricting the Development of New Quality Productive Forces
"Without the support of national key programs, it would be impossible for us to **啃下‘硬骨头’** (kěn xià 'yìng gǔ tou' - "gnaw hard bones," to overcome difficult problems)." Xu Jin (徐晋), Senior Expert of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, said that the new type of national system is a major advantage for China to develop new quality productive forces. To promote better development of the chip industry, it is hoped that the state will take the lead in integrating resources from universities, research institutes, and leading enterprises to establish a chip development alliance and jointly build an independent software ecosystem.
Guo Guoping (郭国平), Chief Scientist of Origin Quantum, believes that the rapid development of quantum computing technology in China benefits from the long-term layout of national strategy and the significant advantages of the new type of national system. In order to further seize the commanding heights of future competition, it is suggested that on the one hand, the ability to generate original basic research should be continuously strengthened, and an independent and controllable industrial chain supply chain system should be built; on the other hand, the transformation system of the entire chain of quantum computing applications should be accelerated to expand the space for large-scale applications.
Deng Jianrong (邓健荣), Director of Swire Group Limited, believes that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area should move towards building an international science and technology innovation center, breaking down the barriers between scientific research, industry, capital, and talent through institutional innovation and mechanism reshaping, and building a truly efficient, open, and shared science and technology innovation system. It is suggested to establish an international science and technology innovation incubation base in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to create a globally leading innovation ecosystem of "co-construction, risk-sharing, and benefit-sharing" and provide solid support for the country's scientific and technological self-reliance.
Xu Guanju (徐冠巨), Chairman of Transfar Group, said that with the support of Xiaoshan District (萧山区) in Hangzhou (杭州), the company explored the "government-enterprise synergy" model to build the Transfar Science and Technology City Biotechnology Innovation Platform to serve scientists' innovation and entrepreneurship. It is necessary to increase support for the construction of biotechnology pilot platforms to solve the "verification difficulty" bottleneck. It is suggested to deepen reform around the pilot link. On the one hand, innovate approval and supervision methods and implement a record-keeping management system for projects that meet the conditions; on the other hand, smooth on-site transformation, and pilot production lines with mature technology and stable operation can be upgraded and transformed into industrial production lines, and formulate access standards and circulation specifications for pilot products.

Embarking on the grand gathering of spring and heading towards the journey of the future, the direction is more determined and the confidence is more steadfast.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out, "We cannot only look at the growth of domestic GDP. What is growing now is hard power, and what we are pursuing is the development of new quality productive forces." "High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in all respects, and adhering to high-quality development should become an important part of the performance evaluation of leading cadres."
The view of performance is linked to the view of development. To establish and practice a correct view of performance, we must continuously stimulate innovation vitality and use new quality productive forces to move towards a future of high-quality development.
At this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (Two Sessions) (全国两会), deputies and members brought vivid stories of developing new quality productive forces. Last year, Cao Tianlan (曹天兰), a first-level deputy director engineer of Dongfang Turbine Co., Ltd. (东方汽轮机有限公司) of Dongfang Electric Corporation (东方电气集团), made suggestions on "data silos." After the meeting, the suggestions were adopted by relevant departments, and policy measures were introduced one after another. Thanks to this, not long ago, China's "striving machine" heavy-duty gas turbine G50 achieved a breakthrough of zero overseas orders. On-the-ground research and targeted suggestions have been transformed into pragmatic and effective policies, stimulating "from 0 to 1" innovation. Such a closed loop vividly demonstrates the institutional advantages of whole-process people's democracy, and also presents the vigorous momentum of the whole society jointly developing new quality productive forces.
From suggestions and advice in the meeting place to the hot practice outside the meeting place, technological innovation empowers, and the Chinese economy's orientation towards newness and excellence is reflected in thousands of industries.
Old trees sprout new buds, and intelligent breeding robots enter the fields; new tracks are opened up, and smart cars and smart roads jointly drive towards intelligent driving; venturing into no-man's land, humanoid robots cooperated in performing sketches on this year's Spring Festival Gala stage... Traditional industries, the "elephants," are dancing, emerging industries, the "lions and tigers," are competing, and future industries, the "gazelles," are leaping, with new quality productive forces growing in competition. Behind this, the innovation chain, industrial chain, supply chain, and value chain are seamlessly connected, and technological innovation and industrial innovation are deeply integrated, continuously transforming innovation power into new quality productive forces.
Deploying an integrated computing power network with "points, chains, networks, and surfaces" as the main axis, the reform of "first empowering and then transforming" job-related scientific and technological achievements is being rolled out, and new forms of "innovation and entrepreneurship complexes upstairs and downstairs" are emerging... Leading industrial innovation with technological innovation and promoting technological iteration with industrial upgrading, gathering the "new force" of high-quality development.
Guided by a correct view of performance, the synergy for developing new quality productive forces is gathering. "Expanding the application scenarios of intelligent manufacturing," "escorting China's intelligent driving 'technical hard power' with 'institutional soft power'," "hoping that financial capital will invest more 'early, small, long-term, and in hard technology'..." At this year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (Two Sessions) (全国两会), deputies and members put forward insightful opinions on developing new quality productive forces from their respective perspectives. These opinions and suggestions also cultivate the soil for developing new quality productive forces in all aspects, allowing the seeds of innovation to "shine brilliantly with sunshine and sprout with rain and dew," and grow into an industrial forest in a socialist market economy environment.
Starting again from this spring, establishing and practicing a correct view of performance, transforming the decisions and deployments of the Two Sessions into development achievements, striving to achieve a good start to the "15th Five-Year Plan," China, heading towards newness, will move steadily and far on the track of high-quality development.

Return to TopOur country's economy is moving forward against pressure, developing towards new and better directions, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality.
——February 14, 2026, emphasized by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) at the 2026 Spring Festival group visit
We must fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, strengthen the domestic cycle, smooth the domestic and international dual cycles, properly prevent and resolve risks, and continuously improve the quality and resilience of development.
——August 27, 2025, pointed out by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) at the symposium with non-Communist Party members convened by the CPC Central Committee
The stable foundation and strong ability to resist external shocks of major economic provinces can support the stability of the national economic base.
"Guangdong Province (广东省), as the largest economic province, should support the stability of the national economic base in three aspects." Lu Xiaoming (鲁晓明), Vice Chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the China National Democratic Construction Association and Vice President of Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, suggested that first, it should leverage its manufacturing advantage, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, cultivate and strengthen strategic emerging industries, and consolidate its position in the global industrial chain and supply chain; second, it should strengthen the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade, make good use of the opening platform of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (粤港澳大湾区), expand high-level opening to the outside world, and stabilize the basic foreign trade situation; and third, it should stimulate domestic demand potential, promote bulk consumption of automobiles and home appliances, and leverage the key role of investment in optimizing the supply structure.
"Major economic provinces are the 'ballast stones' for stabilizing the national economic base. During the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, Huaihua (怀化) will accelerate the construction of a regional central city on the border of five provinces, contributing to the construction of major economic provinces and supporting the stability of the national economic base." Wei Zhaohui (韦朝晖), Deputy Secretary of the Huaihua Municipal Committee of Hunan Province (湖南省怀化市委) and Mayor, said that efforts should be made to strive for major breakthroughs in the industrial system and to fully promote the upgrading and expansion of land ports, adhere to reform and innovation, and continuously enhance the driving force and vitality of high-quality development.
"To support the stability of the national economic base, it is necessary to identify advantages, coordinate efforts, and accelerate the cultivation and expansion of new driving forces and optimize and upgrade traditional industries." Liu Suying (刘素英), Vice Mayor of Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province (四川省广元市), said, "On the one hand, it is necessary to identify the 'main direction' of industrial development and promote the formation of a cluster effect from 'point' to 'chain', from 'chain' to 'group', and from 'group' to 'circle' in key industries; on the other hand, it is necessary to continuously optimize the business environment, continue to deepen the reform of 'efficiently handling one matter', and not disturb trustworthy enterprises, so that various business entities can invest with confidence, concentrate on entrepreneurship, and develop with peace of mind."

Promote the effective improvement of the quality and the reasonable growth of the quantity of the economy
"We must pursue the effective improvement of quality and the reasonable growth of quantity, and promote the transformation of the economic structure towards new quality and optimization." Zhu Yongfan (朱永繁), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China MCC5 Group (中国五冶集团), suggested promoting the standardization, standardization, and clustered development of the intelligent construction industry chain, and effectively helping to upgrade the traditional construction industry.
"In Handan City, Hebei Province (河北省邯郸市), a heavy industrial city, blue skies and white clouds are becoming the norm. The city has vigorously promoted environmental performance creation A in key industries such as steel, coking, and cement. Currently, 38 enterprises have successfully created A; the transportation structure is 'greener', and the proportion of clean transportation in key industries has reached 86%." Ling Tao (凌涛), Chairman of the Science and Technology Association of Handan City, Hebei Province, suggested improving regional joint prevention and control, promoting synergistic efficiency in pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and accelerating the realization of high-quality development in the continuous improvement of the ecological environment.
The Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部), together with relevant departments, implemented the integrated protection and restoration project of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasslands (hereinafter referred to as the "Mountains and Rivers Project"), completing a total ecological protection and restoration area of over 82 million mu. "'Mountains and Rivers Project' protects green, increases green, and activates green, which has effectively improved the diversity, stability, and sustainability of regional ecosystems, improved the living environment, and driven industrial development." He Guangshun (何广顺), Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Natural Resources, said.
Liu Rui (刘锐), Director of the Institute of Ecological Environment, Zhejiang Tsinghua Institute for Innovation (浙江清华长三角研究院生态环境研究所), suggested improving the quality and efficiency of recycling of renewable resources, improving the standard system, integrating carbon evaluation into the recycling process of waste products, and encouraging enterprises to actively use recycled materials. At the same time, innovate incentive mechanisms to make the carbon emission reductions generated by residents' participation in garbage sorting, second-hand transactions, and other behaviors "valuable."
Zhang Ronghua (张荣华), Chairman of the Board of Tianjin Rongcheng Xiangtai Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. (天津荣程祥泰投资控股集团有限公司), believes that the role of industry associations and chambers of commerce in serving high-quality development is becoming increasingly significant. It is necessary to further promote the high-quality development of industry associations and chambers of commerce, accelerate the cultivation of a number of world-class chambers of commerce with Chinese characteristics with international competitiveness, and form a matrix of major country chamber of commerce brands.
It is necessary to continuously promote the improvement of quality and efficiency of new business formats. Zhang Yiwu (张颐武), professor at Peking University (北京大学), said: "The emergence of micro-short dramas has driven the transfer of existing employment in the traditional film and television industry to new business formats, creating many jobs in production, operation, distribution, and other links."
Shu Xiaogang (舒晓刚), Vice President of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (华中科技大学同济医学院), believes that the deep integration of artificial intelligence and medicine is the key to cultivating new quality productivity in the health industry, and suggests accelerating the supply-side reform of medical education and cultivating compound innovative talents with digital literacy.
Lan Lan (兰兰), Vice President of Menglian Dai, Lahu and Va Autonomous County People's Hospital, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province (云南省普洱市孟连傣族拉祜族佤族自治县人民医院), said: "County-level hospitals are the leading units of medical consortia, and preferential policy support should be provided to give medical consortia more autonomy in personnel establishment, salary management, and other aspects."

Adhere to focusing on practicing internal skills and strengthening ourselves
At present, the impact of external environmental changes is deepening, and geopolitical risks continue to rise. Wu Jin (吴劲), Secretary of the Chuzhou Municipal Committee of Anhui Province (安徽省滁州市委), said that practicing internal skills and strengthening ourselves is crucial to opening up new situations in the midst of changes. The Yangtze River Delta (长三角) has a rich collection of scientific and technological innovation resources. It is necessary to adhere to the leading role of Shanghai (上海), and also for Jiangsu (江苏), Zhejiang (浙江), and Anhui (安徽) to give full play to their strengths, leverage the regional radiation and driving role of key cities, break down administrative barriers, promote institutional coordination, and integrate scientific and technological innovation forces and superior resources across regions.
At the energy-saving renovation project site of the No. 5 steam turbine generator unit of Shanying International (山鹰国际) in Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province (安徽省马鞍山市), welding sparks are splashing, machines are roaring, and the assembly, hoisting, and calibration processes are proceeding in an orderly manner. This technical transformation project with a total investment of approximately 60 million yuan can save 16,000 tons of standard coal per year. "Traditional industrial cities should accelerate energy conservation and carbon reduction, accelerate the development of emerging industries, and actively promote industrial structure transformation." Yuan Fang (袁方), Secretary of the Ma'anshan Municipal Committee of Anhui Province, introduced.
Practicing internal skills requires focusing on innovation. "Technological innovation must not only overcome the original innovation of basic research 'from 0 to 1', but also be able to extend to the industrial innovation 'from 1 to 100'." Chen Jun (陈军), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and Executive Vice President of Nankai University (南开大学), said that it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a systematic platform for industry-university-research cooperation, so that researchers dare to venture and create, and also make technological achievements transferable and productive, so as to better serve the country's high-quality development needs.
"Practicing internal skills and strengthening ourselves, the key lies in basing ourselves on people's livelihood and consolidating the foundation of development with the needs of the people." Zhao Yufang (赵玉芳), Vice President of Southwest University (西南大学), said that guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood is both the purpose of development and the driving force for growth. The needs of people's livelihood form an effective consumption traction, promoting the upgrading of the economy in response to the expectations of the masses, which is the most solid support for its own development. Always putting the needs of people and comprehensive development in the central position, and allowing the fruits of development to benefit all the people, can gather the most lasting endogenous power.
Li Qiu (李秋), professor at the Children's Hospital affiliated to Chongqing Medical University (重庆医科大学附属儿童医院), suggested further improving the service capacity of primary medical care, so that the masses can enjoy higher-quality and more convenient medical services at their doorsteps, forming a national health security system that is valued by the government and participated in by the society.
Xie Liangzhi (谢良志), Chairman of Beijing Shenzhou Cell Biotechnology Group Co., Ltd. (北京神州细胞生物技术集团股份公司), said that the company has been continuously developing in the fields of multi-target and multi-functional antibody drugs and multivalent vaccines. "Thanks to the unwavering support of long-term technological innovation by governments at all levels, enterprises can concentrate on research and development and adhere to long-term strategic layout and deep cultivation."
Talent is the primary resource. Gao Jinfeng (高金凤), Principal of the Experimental Primary School Education Group in Jiangyan District, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province (江苏省泰州市姜堰区实验小学教育集团), said that in the face of the new situation of successively reaching the peak of school-age population, it is recommended to strengthen the dynamic adjustment and surplus allocation of educational resources in different school sections, promote vertical group-based school management, and break down the barriers between school sections.

China is so big, we must engage in the real economy
"During this year's Spring Festival holiday, the flow of customers in shopping malls has increased significantly." Gong Dingling (龚定玲), senior supervisor of the category sales department of Chongqing Department Store Co., Ltd. Shapingba Shopping Mall (重庆百货大楼股份有限公司沙坪商场), believes that if the real economy is strengthened and optimized, the confidence of the consumer market will be stronger. Whether it is home appliances, digital products, or daily consumer goods, they are inseparable from a strong industrial base. It is recommended that while continuing to optimize consumer subsidy policies, we should create more consumer scenarios with a sense of experience and cultural flavor to make offline business more attractive.
"The automobile industry can most intuitively feel the weight of the real economy." Liu Yiyan (刘懿艳), Executive Deputy General Manager of Human Resources and Organization of SAIC Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. (上汽大众汽车有限公司), said, "Behind a car, there is the coordinated operation of hundreds of industrial links such as steel, electronics, software, and materials."
In Liu Yiyan's view, the automobile industry is one of the fields with the most complete industrial chain and the strongest driving ability. To promote the high-quality development of the automobile industry, enterprises need to continuously improve their technical level, and the government also needs to create a more fair and orderly environment for industrial development.
The real economy is moving towards "green." "Chinese clean energy enterprises represented by CGN (中广核) have explored a path of integrated development of 'clean energy + ecological governance'." Yang Changli (杨长利), Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China General Nuclear Power Group Co., Ltd. (中国广核集团有限公司), suggested coordinating high-quality development and high-level security, and vigorously developing clean energy such as nuclear power, wind power, and solar energy.
Zhao Song (赵松), a third-level researcher at the Chinese Academy of Land and Resources Surveying and Planning Institute (中国国土勘测规划院), suggested encouraging and supporting local high-level protection and high-efficiency utilization of natural resources, so that ecological advantages can be continuously transformed into development advantages, and help build a Chinese-style modernization in which humans and nature coexist harmoniously.
"Artificial intelligence +" has brought profound changes to the real economy. Yang Zhengping (杨正平), senior technician of the Chemical Analysis Laboratory of the Testing and Metrology Center of Guangxi Liuzhou Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. (广西柳州钢铁集团有限公司), said that Liugang is relying on a full-stack domestic computing power platform to accelerate the construction of a steel large model and strive to create intelligent application scenarios covering the entire process of ironmaking, steelmaking, and steel rolling.
"Artificial intelligence has improved the efficiency and accuracy of image reading, allowing more and more people to enjoy higher-quality basic medical services." Lu Lin (卢林), Director of the Health Neurology Department of the East Hospital of Shandong First Medical University Affiliated Provincial Hospital (山东第一医科大学附属省立医院), said.
(Reported and compiled by Kou Jiangze (寇江泽), Liu Wenxin (刘温馨), Li Junqiang (李君强), Pang Ge Ping (庞革平), Cui Yin (崔寅), Liu Xinwu (刘新吾), and Ji Juesu (季觉苏), reporters of this newspaper)
To engage in agriculture, we must improve the seed industry
"Citrus is the golden name card of our Xiaotao Town (小陶镇)!" Xu Guangyuan (许光园), Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Wuyi Village, Xiaotao Town, Yongan City, Fujian (福建永安市小陶镇五一村), introduced that the annual output value of citrus in the town reaches 600 million yuan, and citrus income accounts for nearly half of the per capita income of villagers. The seed industry is the "chip" of agriculture, and to revitalize the industry, we must strengthen the seed industry. Xu Guangyuan suggested building a citrus industry chain including seedling cultivation, planting, and sales, and letting "field professors" and "local experts" promote good varieties and good technologies, driving the surrounding villages to develop together, and allowing more characteristic agricultural products to go directly from the fields to the table.
In recent years, Bi Shenglong (毕生龙), Secretary of the Party Branch of Wangtun Village, Hedong Township, Guide County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province (青海省海南藏族自治州贵德县河东乡王屯村), has witnessed the new changes in the village's seed industry revitalization. The village focuses on developing industries such as highland barley, silage corn, and spring wheat, and has built a 200-mu highland barley improved seed breeding base, and planted 67 hectares of silage corn in contiguous areas. The coverage rate of improved crop varieties in the county has reached more than 98%. "To engage in agriculture, we must improve the seed industry, and seeds are the 'chip' of agriculture." Bi Shenglong said, "We must rely on improved varieties and large-scale planting to achieve a double improvement in the yield and quality of characteristic crops, and take a revitalization path of improving quality and efficiency of plateau characteristic agriculture and steadily increasing the income of the masses."
The development of the seed industry resonates with scientific and technological innovation, helping "Chinese grain" to mainly use "Chinese seeds." Scientific and technological innovation is inseparable from talent. Liu Lin (刘林), President of Beijing City University (北京城市学院), suggested that industry-education integration parks should be built according to local conditions. By making up for the shortcomings of skilled talents, it can not only ensure the stable employment of young people, but also inject talent vitality into the industry, forming a virtuous cycle of talent prosperity, industrial prosperity, and stable employment. Let the seed industry release a continuous stream of development momentum in the two-way rush of talent and industry.
"China's dairy industry is in a critical period of transformation and upgrading from scale expansion to quality and efficiency." Shi Yudong (史玉东), R&D Director of the Global R&D and Innovation Center of Mengniu Group (蒙牛集团), suggested planning and building high-level R&D platforms such as the National Lactic Acid Bacteria Seed Industry Innovation Center, focusing on the layout of the entire industrial chain, and focusing on breaking through the "bottleneck" technologies such as lactic acid bacteria strains, milk-based ingredients, and functional proteins for dairy products. At the same time, deeply implement the seed industry revitalization action. Include excellent lactic acid bacteria strains and high-quality dairy cattle germplasm resources into the key support scope of the national seed industry revitalization action, and accelerate the selection and promotion of breakthrough varieties. Build a national germplasm resource bank to strengthen the collection, preservation, and development and utilization of characteristic and high-quality lactic acid bacteria strains.

During an interview with the Qinghai (青海) delegation, reporters learned that Qinghai's (青海) green and organic agricultural and livestock product exports exceeded 1.46 million tons last year, with "Qing-branded" agricultural and livestock products reaching 54 countries and regions worldwide.
From being "hidden in the boudoir" to "crossing the ocean," why are agricultural products produced by a western province so frequently ordered by the world?
Qinghai's (青海) approach is: the vast number of cadres, workers, enterprises, and farmers prioritize action and earnestly implement their work, using technology to empower and solidify industries, using standard construction to pave the way for certification, and using efficient logistics to ensure smooth circulation. Currently, the province's adoption rate of key agricultural technologies has reached 95%, and 37 national green food raw material standardization production bases have been established. With guaranteed quality and smoother logistics, good products will never lack customers.
Political achievements are never shouted out, but rather achieved through hard work; resilience never comes from thin air, but is forged through practical efforts. Currently, China's economy is withstanding global headwinds and maintaining a steady and progressive momentum. Every remarkable achievement and every solid answer sheet is engraved with the mark of hard work, demonstrating the clear direction of "achieving political achievements through practical work."
To achieve political achievements through practical work and enhance economic resilience, it is necessary to cultivate internal strength and strengthen oneself, consolidating the foundation for development with the smooth and efficient domestic circulation. The strength of internal strength lies in the core driving force of technological innovation, as well as in the continuous activation of the domestic demand market. It is necessary to base oneself on one's own endowments, grasp technological innovation with one hand and expand domestic demand with the other, fully integrate into the unified national market, and allow factor resources to flow smoothly on a larger scale.
To achieve political achievements through practical work and enhance economic resilience, it is necessary to expand high-level opening up to the outside world, and expand development space through the two-way connection of internal and external circulation. It is necessary to continuously optimize the business environment, steadily expand institutional opening up, and expand international circulation. In February of this year, Bayer Group CEO Bill Anderson (比尔·安德森) accompanied German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (默茨) on a visit to China (中国). He stated that Bayer (拜耳) is deeply rooted in China's (中国) vibrant innovation ecosystem and is committed to bringing innovative achievements to the market to benefit the Chinese people. China (中国) is firmly committed to maintaining the stability and smooth flow of global production and supply chains. Foreign-funded enterprises are using practical actions to continuously increase investment in China (中国).
Practical work is the key to solving development problems, the bond that unites development forces, and the methodology for enhancing economic resilience. Facing the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the profoundly complex and changing international environment, we must, with the spirit of "achieving success without necessarily being the one to claim it" and the responsibility of "achieving success with my participation," be down-to-earth, work diligently, and persevere in our efforts to create achievements that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history.

Return to TopThe international economic and trade landscape is being reshaped, and we must enhance cooperation through openness and smooth the domestic and international dual circulation.
——December 10, 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized at the Central Economic Work Conference
We must adhere to expanding opening up to the outside world, basing development on our own strength while making good use of global factors and market resources.
——October 20, 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out in the "Explanation on the 'Recommendations of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development'"
Focus on studying new situations, solving new problems, and gaining experience.
"Many companies face difficulties in cross-cultural marketing and precise targeting of audiences when going global." Chen Zhiqing (陈志清), Deputy Minister of the United Front Work Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Party Secretary of the Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce, said, "There are always more solutions than difficulties." Research has found that some companies use AI intelligent agents to assist in overseas marketing decisions and have accumulated practical experience. "As a bridge between the government and enterprises, we will improve the entire chain of services, including policy promotion, resource docking, and experience promotion, to improve the effectiveness of serving enterprises 'going global'."
Without being near the sea or bordering other countries, can inland provinces also "integrate globally"?
Li Chunqiu (黎春秋), Director of the Office of the Financial and Economic Committee of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Party Secretary of the Development and Reform Commission of Hunan Province, saw opportunities from the construction of the entire Hainan Island as a free trade port. "The Hainan Free Trade Port provides a new window for inland provinces to connect with the world. Hunan does not need to seek far and wide to expand its opening up to the outside world. It can also deeply integrate into the global industrial chain and supply chain by 'borrowing a port to go to sea'."
In Dongfang City (东方市), Hainan Province, machines roared in the Xiang-Qiong Advanced Manufacturing Co-construction Industrial Park. "Hunan-made" machinery is re-manufactured here and then exported.
"The 'Changsha (长沙) R&D + Hainan (海南) Transformation' model expands development space for Hunan. In the future, we will also take the reform of the engineering machinery remanufacturing system as a breakthrough point, promote the superimposed release of institutional innovation in the Hunan Free Trade Pilot Zone and policy dividends of the Hainan Free Trade Port, strengthen policy coordination, expand cooperation fields, and form more replicable experiences," said Li Chunqiu (黎春秋).
When enterprises go global, they must not only "go out" but also go steadily. Quan Heng (权衡), Party Secretary of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, said, "Facing a more complex environment, we must provide one-stop services to foreign-related enterprises, explore the construction of a comprehensive service platform for enterprises 'going global', promote the construction of 'overseas service ports' abroad, and help enterprises reduce operating costs and resolve legal risks."
(Reported by Hong Qiuting (洪秋婷), Yang Xun (杨迅), Xiang Zifeng (向子丰), Ji Juesu (季觉苏), and Cui Yin (崔寅) of this newspaper)
Fully integrate into the unified national market.
"In the past, some places competed for 'policy depressions', engaged in self-small cycles, blindly followed industries, and used hidden barriers to restrict the flow of factor resources." Deng Hui (邓辉), President of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, introduced that now, from "cross-provincial handling" of registration to "uniform standards" for supervision and law enforcement, bottlenecks have been cleared, barriers have been removed, market vitality continues to emerge, encouraging enterprises to dare to innovate and be willing to invest, promoting the rapid transformation and smooth implementation of innovative achievements.
"Building a unified national market is a need for building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development, providing support and foundation for expanding high-level opening up to the outside world. All regions must fully integrate into the unified national market to help smooth the domestic circulation," Deng Hui (邓辉) suggested that characteristic industries should be embedded in the national industrial chain, high-quality products should be transported to the national market, and factor resources such as talent, technology, and capital should be mobilized to achieve complementary advantages.
Establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements is related to the effectiveness of deepening the construction of a unified national market.
In Hubei (湖北), optimizing the business environment is included in the performance evaluation of party and government leading bodies at all levels; in Shandong (山东), "clearing market barriers" is included in the assessment of cities... All regions continue to improve the high-quality development assessment system and the cadre performance evaluation system, making good use of the assessment baton to guide cadres at all levels to break the mindset of "one mu three points of land" and accurately position themselves in the overall national situation.
"The business environment is the soil for the survival and development of enterprises." Gong Mingzhu (龚明珠), Party Secretary and Director of the Development and Reform Commission of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, introduced that the local government has specifically issued the "Implementation Plan of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to Accelerate the Creation of a First-Class Market-Oriented, Legalized, and Internationalized Business Environment," "We conducted in-depth research and visits, and absorbed the experience and practices of Shanghai (上海), Guangdong (广东), and other places in optimizing the business environment."
Gong Mingzhu (龚明珠) said, "In the next step, we will strictly implement the negative list system for market access, carry out regular clean-up and rectification of hidden barriers to market access, and align with the eastern coastal areas in terms of fair competition and factor guarantees, so that legal guarantees run through the entire life cycle of business entities."

Broadly explore the global market and better connect international circulation.
During the first Spring Festival holiday after the closure of Hainan Island, the number of inbound passengers on overseas routes at Sanya Phoenix International Airport (三亚凤凰国际机场) increased by 81.49% year-on-year, duty-free shops were crowded, and rural homestays were highly sought after.
"Closing the customs is not 'closing the island', but a higher level, higher efficiency, and higher quality of opening up." Cai Qiang (蔡强), member of the Party Group and Secretary-General of the People's Government of Hainan Province, said that building the Hainan Free Trade Port to a high standard is a matter of laying the foundation and benefiting the long term, not seeking "obvious achievements" but cultivating "potential achievements," "We will come up with more real and practical measures to steadily expand institutional opening up, deeply promote the opening up of commodity and factor flows, and make the Free Trade Port a new frontier for China's opening up to the outside world, a new hot spot for regional mutually beneficial cooperation, and a new engine for promoting economic globalization."
A king crab takes only 14 hours from being caught in the waters near the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia to entering the Hunchun (珲春) port.
Wang Zhihou (王志厚), Director of the Standing Committee of the Changchun (长春) Municipal People's Congress of Jilin Province, said that Jilin is close to the border and the sea, has a solid foundation in characteristic industries, has obvious location advantages, and has broad space for opening up to the outside world, "Promoting the construction of the Changchun Modern Metropolitan Area, we will promote 'hard connectivity', rely on efficient and convenient three-dimensional open channels, and build an all-round, multi-level, and wide-ranging open pattern; improve 'soft connectivity', continue to host brand exhibitions such as the China-Northeast Asia Expo, the Jilin Ice and Snow Expo, and the Changchun Optics Expo, and build high-quality platforms for international exchanges and cooperation."
In Shijiazhuang International Land Port (石家庄国际陆港), Hebei Province, gantry cranes rise and fall, containers are lined up, and China-Europe freight trains loaded with goods slowly depart from the land port station.
"As builders of the international land port, we will take practical actions to make positive contributions to expanding high-level opening up to the outside world, continue to promote the expansion and upgrading of the 'China-Europe Freight Train + Overseas Warehouse' model, and at the same time sink land port services to the county level, so that characteristic industries can 'reach the world without leaving the county'." Liu Ruiling (刘瑞领), Chairman of Hebei Land Port Co., Ltd., said that in the future, they will continue to focus on expanding the route network, using logistics to drive industry and industry to promote circulation.

Prevent various risks with a bottom-line thinking.
Giant ships shuttle back and forth, a scene of bustling activity. In 2025, the cargo throughput of Ningbo Zhoushan Port (宁波舟山港) in Zhejiang (浙江) exceeded 1.4 billion tons, ranking first in the world for 17 consecutive years.
"Promoting high-level opening up to the outside world requires the benign interaction of high-quality development and high-level security, and firmly grasping the initiative of development while navigating through turbulent waves, dangerous shoals, and rapids." Zheng Guo (郑国), deputy shift leader of the unloading machine team of Ningbo Zhoushan Port Ore Company, cited an example, saying that in early 2026, the Ningbo Maritime Court promoted the proper resolution of foreign-related disputes within half a day through the implementation of a combination of solutions.
"Strengthening bottom-line thinking, the key lies in preventing potential risks, predicting and responding to extreme situations. We are constantly improving and perfecting our ability to counter sanctions, counter interference, and counter 'long-arm jurisdiction', and improving the early warning, prevention, and protection system for overseas interests and investment risks, so as to be prepared." Zheng Guo (郑国) said.
Zhu Lihua (朱立华), Party Secretary and Chairman of Dishang Group Co., Ltd., believes that enterprises should enhance their awareness of potential dangers and avoid being passive due to over-reliance on the external environment. "We consolidate the safety base with industrial chain collaboration, linking more than 800 cooperative factories and more than 4,000 fabric and accessory suppliers to build an upstream and downstream integrated innovation ecosystem."
Zhu Lihua (朱立华) introduced that the next step will be to continue to drive with the "global layout + localized rooting" dual wheels, build a flexible supply chain, deeply embed in the international division of labor system, and achieve multi-point support for production capacity, market, and channels, so as to enhance the risk resistance capability of the entire chain in deeply integrating into the global market.
Ma Yide (马一德), Dean of the Intellectual Property School of the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that strengthening bottom-line thinking, the key lies in risk prediction and pre-governance, and it is necessary to achieve precise supervision through improving rules and the rule of law. "We must actively participate in and lead the formulation of international rules with a more proactive attitude, and at the same time continuously strengthen judicial guarantees, accelerate the improvement of professional supporting systems such as technical investigation officers, and further do a good job in risk prevention." Ma Yide (马一德) said.

The spring breeze is vast, and everything is renewed. The 2026 National People's Congress (全国两会) is charting a new chapter for the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" and sending a clear and firm signal to the world: China's door to opening up will only open wider and wider, and the Chinese people's confidence and strength are growing stronger.
Opening up is China's solemn commitment to the world and an active choice for high-quality development. This year's government work report proposes to "adhere to cooperation and mutual benefit, steadily expand institutional opening up, expand international circulation, and promote reform and development through opening up." The draft outline of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" publicly releases an "opportunity list," inviting the world to share the development dividends of Chinese-style modernization. Media lenses capture the appearance of an open China: from the expansion of visa-free policies to cross-border e-commerce "buying globally and selling globally," from the soaring output value of enterprises in the Hainan Free Trade Port (海南自贸港) to polishing the "Invest in China" brand, the world sees the opportunities and vitality of China's large market.
Opening up is an open mind to face problems and engage in frank exchanges. This year's National People's Congress (全国两会) , the "three major channels" are still a bright window. Facing the camera, deputies, members, and ministers do not avoid or evade, but tell everyone their inner thoughts and practical matters. Deputy Gu Xue (顾雪) used "one card to 'travel freely' to more than 64,000 medical institutions" to tell the story of the people's livelihood temperature of the coordinated development of Beijing (北京), Tianjin (天津), and Hebei (河北); Member Pan Jianwei (潘建伟) talked freely about breakthroughs in quantum technology, stating the firm determination that key core technologies must be independently innovated. Ministers directly address people's livelihood concerns, respond to development problems, explain policies clearly, and explain measures clearly, reflecting that openness and transparency have become the norm of governance.
Opening up not only brings prosperity but also reflects the Chinese people's spirit of looking at the world equally, being approachable and respectable.
Confidence stems from development achievements, from the continuous leap in economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and comprehensive national strength, from the continuous improvement of people's livelihood and well-being, and from the firm belief of hundreds of millions of people in the country's future and the nation's future. Deputy Fan Jiuping (樊九平) went to the meeting by high-speed train, bringing the joy of the people in the old revolutionary base areas (老区) over the improvement of transportation; Member Yang Yuni (杨钰尼) brought postcards co-painted with her fellow villagers, showing the harmonious coexistence of the people of Honghe (红河) in Yunnan (云南) and nature. From the speeding high-speed trains and the surging computing power to the green transformation and the improvement of people's livelihood, the Chinese people are writing the era's answer sheet for high-quality development with hard work. To achieve political achievements for the people and to achieve political achievements through hard work benefits the broad masses of the people.
Confidence stems from the people's sense of being masters of their own affairs and from the fact that whole-process people's democracy allows every voice to be valued and every expectation to be echoed. At the group meeting, deputies and members "grabbed the microphone" to speak and went straight to the point. Deputy Wang Yong (汪勇) suggested that new employment groups such as couriers should have "accident insurance" protection, and Member Gan Huatian (甘华田) called for the sinking of grassroots medical talents. Rural teachers, front-line workers, scientific researchers... deputies and members from the grassroots level, some brought the practice of building roads and increasing industrial income in rural areas, and some focused on the protection of educational balance and mental health, turning the thoughts and expectations of hundreds of millions of people into proposals, motions, opinions, and suggestions.
The National People's Congress (两会) gathers consensus and gathers strength, making the road to opening up wider and the foundation of confidence stronger. In the face of rising unilateralism and protectionism, China will always inject valuable certainty into a turbulent and changing world with an open attitude. The Chinese people will move forward with a more high-spirited attitude and write brilliant chapters.
An open China embraces the world with a broad mind; a confident people create the future with unity and struggle.

During this year's National People's Congress (全国两会), some Chinese journalists noticed that fewer foreign journalists were using simultaneous interpretation headsets, and some could even chat fluently in Chinese. This detail reflects the depth of China's interaction with the world in the new era.
The more confident, the more open. The more open, the more powerful. Promoting high-level opening-up under new conditions is also a new question of the times, testing the wisdom of various regions and departments in answering the question and testing the responsibility and actions of the vast number of party members and cadres.
Seek win-win results with high-level opening-up.
Opening-up is a distinct symbol of Chinese-style modernization. Practice has proved that China's economic development in the past was achieved under the condition of opening-up, and China's future high-quality economic development must also be carried out under more open conditions.
To absorb and make good use of international talents, Guangzhou (广州) and Foshan (佛山) in Guangdong (广东) have broken regional boundaries and carried out mutual recognition of foreign talents in different places, building a talent "reservoir" for the high-quality development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (粤港澳大湾区).
Jiangxi (江西), which is not on the border and not near the sea, actively integrates into the international market, guides the rational and orderly cross-border layout of the industrial chain and supply chain, and more and more enterprises join hands to expand the market.
Steadily expanding institutional opening-up, coordinating the use of global factors and market resources, and actively shaping an external environment that is beneficial to us, requires all regions to take into account China's needs and the world's expectations. The more open the frontier, the more bold exploration is needed. The situations in various regions vary greatly, and only by adapting to local conditions and seeking truth from facts can we achieve success easily and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Cadres at all levels should establish and practice a correct view of performance, that is, to improve their ability to think about problems, make decisions, and grasp work under the conditions of opening-up, actively recognize changes, respond to changes, and seek changes, and creatively study new situations and solve new problems, so as to continuously open up new prospects for opening-up.
Build a bottom line with high-level security.
In Yazhou Bay (崖州湾), Sanya (三亚), Hainan (海南), there is a Moon Island (月亮岛). Foreign seeds coming to China will first land here, undergo layers of "physical examination" to ensure safety before being introduced to other places.
The more open, the more attention should be paid to security. At present, the international situation is intertwined with changes and chaos, and there are more uncertain and unpredictable factors. Only by firmly establishing the bottom-line thinking, accurately recognizing changes, scientifically responding to changes, and actively seeking changes can we take the lead and fight the initiative to effectively prevent and resolve risks.
"Expanding opening-up by aligning with international high-standard economic and trade rules" and "optimizing the regional opening-up layout"... The draft outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" ("十五五"规划纲要草案) is also a "list of opportunities" for the world. This list contains bright and promising prospects and opportunities to create a better future together. If the road is right, there is no fear of high mountains and long distances. Engraving the correct view of performance into the rings of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and moving forward firmly step by step, China will surely inject more certainty, stability and new momentum into the world with its own high-quality development.

Our Party was born for the people and thrives because of the people. All of our work is for the happiness of the people. We must always adhere to the principle of putting the people first, establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, and create achievements that can stand the test of practice, the people, and history.
——February 14, 2026, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized at the 2026 Spring Festival group visit
People's livelihood is no small matter; every branch and leaf is always of concern.
——President Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out in his 2026 New Year's message
It is very important to pay attention to the construction of spiritual civilization.
After becoming rich, how to enrich the mind and improve the connotation?
"It is certainly important to have money in your pocket, but if you feel empty spiritually, life cannot be considered truly good," said Li Cuili, a representative and member of the village committee of Lishi Village, Mashang Township, Neihuang County, Anyang City, Henan Province (河南省安阳市内黄县马上乡李石村村委会).
She cleared the liquor shelves in her small shop and put up books, naming it "Micro-light Bookstore (微光书苑)." In earlier years, she would give candy to children who borrowed books and gloves to adults. More and more people came to read books here, and the Micro-light Bookstore (微光书苑) grew from a small corner to a room. Children who grew up reading books here would come back as volunteers during their college vacations.
"Grassroots cadres must establish and practice a correct view of political achievements. They cannot only think about the immediate things, but must do some things that are invisible but can manage the long-term," said Li Cuili (李翠利).
"The villagers' wallets are bulging, and their minds must also be filled with 'useful knowledge'," said Zheng Wangchun, a representative and secretary of the Party branch of Gulu Village, Yongli Yi Ethnic Township, Hanyuan County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province (四川省雅安市汉源县永利彝族乡古路村党支部). The village has built cultural activity venues such as libraries, village history museums, and cultural courtyards, and has also formed a choir.
Zheng Wangchun (郑望春) said that the construction of rural public culture is related to the effectiveness of rural civilization construction and the people's sense of gain, and efforts should be continuously made to promote the equalization and balance of public services.
"In recent years, China's cultural undertakings and cultural industries have flourished, and spiritual and cultural products have become increasingly rich and colorful. More and more high-quality cultural resources have entered the lives of the masses," said Gu Haohao, a member of the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe (上海昆剧团). We must provide more diverse and vivid cultural experiences to better meet the spiritual needs of the people.

Firmly grasp the work that benefits a wide range of people and affects the whole situation.
People's livelihood work is complex and multifaceted, and resources and energy are limited. We cannot **眉毛胡子一把抓** (méi máo hú zi yī bǎ zhuā - "grasping eyebrows and beard all at once," to attend to big and small matters all at once; to tackle everything indiscriminately). This requires decision-makers to have a global perspective and be good at identifying work that has a "four taels moves a thousand catties" effect, taking the interests of the people as the starting point to ensure that the fruits of development truly benefit the people.
"The elderly and the young" are connected to thousands of households. Fan Zhenxi, a representative and secretary of the Party Committee of Zhoutaizi Village, Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province (河北省承德市滦平县周台子村党委), led the villagers to build a happy home: elderly people over 70 years old can live in the elderly service center for free, and the teaching facilities of primary schools and kindergartens are continuously improved.
"To do a solid job in the work of 'the elderly and the young', grassroots medical care can play a major role," said Zhang Wenhong, a member and director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University (复旦大学附属华山医院). It is necessary to build an integrated service system of "prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and care" and create a national atmosphere of independent health, so that the elderly can have a happy old age and children can grow up healthily.
Running preschool education well is related to the vital interests of the broad masses of the people. In Huzhu Tu Autonomous County, Haidong City, Qinghai Province (青海省海东市互助土族自治县), the Xinwu Huzhu Friendship Kindergarten, which was supported by East-West cooperation funds, was officially opened in 2024. "In the past, preschool education resources were tight, and 'difficulty in entering kindergartens' was once a concern for many parents," said Wang Guodong, a representative and secretary of the Huzhu County Party Committee. "Xinwu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province (江苏省无锡市新吴区), which has established counterpart cooperation with Huzhu County, has given its full support. We have no reason to drop the ball. The county will do a good job in various services for the project, realize 'land acquisition and commencement of construction', and promote more inclusive preschool education." Today, the bright and spacious kindergarten activity rooms are filled with children's loud singing.
Jingning She Autonomous County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province (浙江省丽水市景宁畲族自治县) is located in the mountainous area of southern Zhejiang and is one of the more than 20 mountainous island counties in Zhejiang. "For a mountainous county like ours, investing in things and investing in people are the driving forces for development." Talking about the future direction of work, Lan Jingfen, a representative and county head of Jingning County, believes that all work should ultimately fall on increasing people's well-being. Jingning County focuses on the work of "benefiting a wide range of people" and strives to ensure that every investment is put into practice. Instead of engaging in large and comprehensive industrial parks, it focuses on characteristic industries such as Huiming tea and She medicine, and builds small and refined industrial micro-parks, processing workshops, and other facilities, without engaging in image projects or political achievement projects. "For example, a certain neighborhood center had a very beautiful and grand design plan, but after discussing it with my colleagues, we unanimously requested that the design be simple and pragmatic," said Lan Jingfen (蓝景芬). "We build what the park enterprises need, and we build what the people need, without engaging in face-saving projects."

Chinese-style modernization is the modernization of common prosperity for all the people.
Development is moving forward, and people's livelihood is warming. Transforming the fruits of development into the quality of life constantly demonstrates the concept of Chinese-style modernization of "all the people participating together, building together, and sharing together." How to explore effective ways to promote common prosperity for all the people?
"The key to promoting common prosperity is to establish a sound social security system. The key to improving the social security system is to optimize the social security system. The key to optimizing the system lies in upholding integrity and innovation. The urgent task is to 'supplement the low and support the weak'. Under the existing scale of investment in people's livelihood security, we must comprehensively optimize key institutional arrangements and enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security," said Zheng Gongcheng, a representative and president of the China Social Security Association (中国社会保障学会).
"We must adhere to the close combination of investing in things and investing in people. We must promote a more balanced development of livelihood investment and productive investment, create new economic growth points in continuously guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood, and form a substantial leap in people's livelihood and an overall progress of society in the process of promoting common prosperity. Our goals are set, and the intensity is getting greater and greater. During the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, the connotation of investing in people will be continuously enriched, continuously promoting the all-round development of people and stimulating social innovation vitality, so that the achievements of Chinese-style modernization can benefit all the people more and more fairly," said Zheng Gongcheng (郑功成).
With institutional guarantees, everyone still needs to work hard in a down-to-earth manner. In Dahuang Village, Baofeng County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province (河南省平顶山市宝丰县大黄村), magic performance is an important source of income for the villagers. Ma Baozi, a representative and secretary of the Dahuang Village Party Branch (大黄村党支部), was also a magician and organized a performance troupe of more than 200 people. During a chat, the words of the township leader made him think deeply: "It is not rich if one person is rich, it is truly rich if everyone is rich." Ma Baozi (马豹子) made up his mind: "I want to do something practical with the villagers."
"To lead the villagers to get rich, you have to work hard." Ma Baozi (马豹子) recalled that after being elected as the secretary of the Dahuang Village Party Branch (大黄村党支部), the first thing he did was to build roads - he paid out of his own pocket to complete the hardening of two 500-meter-long village roads and paved seven field production roads with gravel. Since then, the village has built schools, built new houses, improved infrastructure, and become better and better.
How to attract more people to watch magic performances? Thinking of ways and exploring new paths, the village explored the "magic performance + sales" model, giving the performance a new stage and opening up new sales channels for the small commodity market.

Building a healthy China is a systematic project.
The most important indicator of modernization is still the health of the people, which is the foundation of a happy life for the people.
Wei Xiaoli, a representative and deputy director of the Yacha Community Health Service Center of the Baisha Li Autonomous County Medical Group, Hainan Province (海南省白沙黎族自治县医疗集团牙叉社区卫生服务中心), has witnessed the tremendous changes in grassroots medical conditions - in the past, many villages did not have standardized health rooms, and the only medical equipment was a stethoscope, sphygmomanometer, and thermometer; now, standardized village health rooms have been gradually built, and grassroots medical equipment is constantly improving.
Geng Funeng, a representative and chairman of Good Doctor Group (好医生集团), has conducted in-depth research in remote areas. He found that the people's demand for health services has changed from fragmented responses to treating headaches and foot pain to full life cycle management including prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. Geng Funeng (耿福能) suggested accelerating the implementation of intelligent bodies at the grassroots level, establishing a user big model based on long-term health data, realizing the digital upgrade of grassroots medical care, and improving diagnosis and treatment capabilities.
Continuously improve the national health level, and shift from "treating diseases as the center" to "health as the center." Yao Shukun, a member and former vice president of China-Japan Friendship Hospital (中日友好医院), has been paying attention to the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. He believes: "Medical workers should contribute to effectively solving chronic diseases that have long plagued the masses. It is recommended to strengthen the popularization of chronic disease knowledge, help the masses develop healthy habits, and reduce the incidence of diseases."
Huo Yong, a member and chief expert of the Department of Cardiology at Peking University First Hospital (北京大学第一医院), is committed to promoting the construction of chest pain centers. He suggested that medical institutions take the initiative to carry out major disease prevention and health management work, realize the integration of medical prevention, and build a fair and accessible medical service system.
In response to the problem of excessive packaging of some drugs, Wang Changlin, a representative and former director of the Department of Infection Management at Yunnan Diannan Center Hospital (云南省滇南中心医院), suggested guiding pharmaceutical companies to promote packaging reduction, further reduce the burden of medication for the masses, and improve the level of grassroots medical services.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China built the world's largest medical and health service system, and the average life expectancy increased to 79.25 years. Liu Qingquan, a member and president of Beijing Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University (首都医科大学附属北京中医医院), said: "As long as we take good care of the elderly, care for the young, and the middle-aged group does a good job in health management, China's average life expectancy still has room for improvement."
Looking to the future, Liu Qingquan (刘清泉) introduced that Beijing Chinese Medicine Hospital (北京中医医院) is formulating and implementing a talent strategy to introduce and cultivate more outstanding talents who understand, love, and have feelings for Chinese medicine. "We will also combine with the needs of the grassroots to help the grassroots train and cultivate Chinese medicine, and contribute to building a healthy China," he said.

A strong sports nation is an important symbol of a modern and powerful nation.
Building a strong sports nation is an important goal of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.
With more than 350 standardized tennis courts and more than 100,000 tennis enthusiasts, Jingshan City, Hubei Province (湖北省京山市), with a permanent population of less than 600,000, is bustling with tennis. In 2025, Jingshan (京山) held 48 tennis events, attracting 3.53 million people to "travel to Jingshan (京山) with rackets," reflecting the vitality of the national fitness cause.
Ding Yalin, a member and president of the Hubei Provincial Academy of Socialism (湖北省社会主义学院), has been paying attention to the development of the national fitness cause for a long time. Focusing on the "age-appropriate" fitness venue services, she suggested increasing age-appropriate fitness projects according to local conditions and paying attention to safety. At the same time, relying on community fitness venues, give play to the role of grassroots sports social organizations and social sports instructors to provide the elderly with scientific fitness guidance and suitable mass sports events.
Improving the physical health level of children and adolescents is related to the future of the country and the nation. In response to common problems such as scoliosis in adolescents, Li Yanhu, a member and deputy director of the Institute of Sports Medicine of the State General Administration of Sports (国家体育总局运动医学研究所), suggested establishing a multi-party coordination mechanism, medical institutions should update diagnosis and treatment norms, schools should scientifically arrange physical exercise, and jointly protect the spinal health of adolescents.
From life to the arena, mass sports and competitive sports together constitute the vivid practice of building a strong sports nation. At the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation achieved the best results in overseas participation. Wang Liqin, a member and deputy director of the Table Tennis and Badminton Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sports and chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association (国家体育总局乒乓球羽毛球运动管理中心、中国乒乓球协会), said: "The Chinese table tennis team has maintained excellent results in world competitions for many years, thanks to the strong support and guarantee of the country, and this honor belongs to all the people."
Advantageous projects consolidate the foundation of a strong sports nation, while the revitalization and development of the "three major balls" carries the expectations of the people. "Women's volleyball is not only a sports movement, but also a symbol of national spirit," said Ding Xia, a member and Olympic champion of the Chinese women's volleyball team (中国女排). From the tenacious struggle on the field to the pursuit of excellence in daily training, the spirit of the women's volleyball team has always inspired sports people to forge ahead. In response to the current development shortcomings of the "three major balls", Ding Xia (丁霞) put forward suggestions such as improving the youth training system, establishing a grassroots coach reward mechanism, and promoting the "three major balls" into schools.
The spirit of sports is passed down from generation to generation, good news is frequently reported in competitive sports, national fitness has become a trend, sports facilities are constantly improved, youth sports are booming, and the sports industry is developing rapidly... The construction of a strong sports nation will continue to create new situations, and the all-round development of people will be fully reflected.

This year, the scale of national general public budget expenditure has reached a new level of 30 trillion yuan for the first time. On the one hand, the requirement of living a frugal life is resolutely implemented, with the central government's "three public expenses" reduced by more than 7%, and general expenditures strictly controlled and carefully calculated. On the other hand, key areas such as people's livelihood security, scientific and technological innovation, and consumption promotion continue to be strengthened. The decrease and increase clearly reflect the practical orientation of the correct view of performance, and vividly embody the distinct guidance of being people-centered and promoting high-quality development.
Between the increase and decrease, anchoring the fundamental position of "development for the people"—
The correct view of performance should first answer the question of who to work for and who to benefit. Fiscal arrangements put real money and silver where the masses need it most. On the one hand, the total expenditure on education, social security and employment, health, and housing security exceeds 12.4 trillion yuan. On the other hand, a special fund of 100 billion yuan for fiscal and financial collaboration to promote domestic demand has been established; among the 1.3 trillion yuan of ultra-long-term special treasury bonds, 250 billion yuan supports the trade-in of consumer goods... Policy dividends are gradually being released, which will achieve a two-way rush to promote consumption and benefit people's livelihoods.
The "three public expenses" are reduced, people's livelihood security is increased, and development support is multiplied, which profoundly reflects the correct view of performance: adhering to the people-centered development thought, taking the people's "happiness list" as the "responsibility list" of party members and cadres, and using the "gold content" of development to support the people's "sense of gain."
Between choices, highlighting the action guideline of "achieving performance through practical work"—
The key to the correct view of performance lies in how to do things and how to succeed. Fiscal policy embodies practical action through scientific choices and enhances governance effectiveness through precise policies.
Being serious and making hard moves on "reduction," strictly enforcing budget constraints, strictly enforcing financial and economic discipline, and resolutely eliminating inefficient investment and redundant construction; making practical moves and seeking practical results on "increase," fiscal expenditure does not engage in massive irrigation, always focusing on the primary task of high-quality development, increasing residents' income through multiple channels, and allowing more and fairer development results to benefit all the people.
Doing something and not doing something, adhering to a scientific mechanism to ensure policy implementation. Emphasizing practical work, practical results, and practical effectiveness, allowing limited financial resources to release the maximum benefits for enterprises and the people.
Between overall planning, adhering to the strategic determination of "planning for the long-term and benefiting the overall situation"—
The correct view of performance lies in overall consideration. This year's fiscal arrangements adhere to the equal emphasis on development and security, ensuring the sustainability of fiscal operations; focusing on the coordination of the present and the long-term, both handling practical matters for people's livelihood and cultivating long-term development support; striving for the unity of efficiency and fairness, optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing the universality and benefit of policies.
Planning the overall situation with systematic thinking and preventing risks with bottom-line thinking fully demonstrate long-term considerations and a sense of responsibility, reflecting the pursuit of 功成不必在我 (gōng chéng bù bì zài wǒ - "achieving success does not necessarily require me," one does not have to be the one to achieve success) and 功成必定有我 (gōng chéng bì dìng yǒu wǒ - "but success will surely have me," but one will surely contribute to the success), which is the correct view of performance that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history.
The "national ledger" is a mirror. What is reduced is unnecessary expenses; what is increased is the thickness and warmth of people's well-being; what is consolidated is the solid foundation for high-quality development.

On the morning of March 11th, the third "Members' Corridor" collective interview of the Fourth Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was held in the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂). Eight members of the National Committee of the CPPCC were interviewed by reporters.
Li Xincao (李心草), Member of the CPPCC—
Understanding an Open and Confident China Through Music
"As a worker in the fields of arts, culture, and education, I have been pondering a question in recent years: how can we allow the world to hear a true and three-dimensional China? In my opinion, music is one of the best ways. Music is a universal language that transcends borders. It requires no translation and can directly touch people's hearts," said Li Xincao (李心草), member of the National Committee of the CPPCC and President of the China Conservatory of Music (中国音乐学院).
"Our generation has witnessed the rapid development of Chinese music. China has become one of the fastest-growing music markets in the world," said Li Xincao (李心草). He believes that in the future, there will be more excellent works that embody Chinese wisdom and express the Chinese spirit, allowing the world to hear and understand an open and confident China through beautiful music.
Xu Kun (徐坤), Member of the CPPCC—
Artificial Intelligence Helps Make High-Quality Educational Resources More Universally Accessible
Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the development landscape of various industries. "AI has pressed the 'fast forward' button for educational reform." Xu Kun (徐坤), member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, President and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (北京邮电大学), introduced that AI has reshaped the role of teachers, helping them to be liberated from a large amount of repetitive work, allowing them to better focus on nurturing people.
"AI is also a double-edged sword. We must adhere to the principle of 'technology for good,' guide students to strengthen their moral and ethical cultivation, and use AI reasonably and moderately to avoid forming mental inertia." Xu Kun (徐坤) said that the future educational environment will increasingly become a smart growth space that is open and shared, virtually and physically integrated, data-driven, and human-machine synergistic, allowing high-quality educational resources to break through the limitations of time and space, benefiting every student, and truly empowering the all-round growth of students.
Liu Chengyong (刘成勇), Member of the CPPCC—
Constructing a "Chinese Cultural Seed Gene Bank"
"The National Archives of Publications and Culture (中国国家版本馆) is committed to continuing the Chinese cultural heritage and constructing a 'Chinese cultural seed gene bank,' collecting and protecting all the classical materials that can be collected since ancient times, and continuing to pass on the only uninterrupted civilization in the world." Liu Chengyong (刘成勇), member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, Party Secretary and Director of the National Archives of Publications and Culture, said, "As of February this year, the National Archives of Publications and Culture has collected more than 34 million copies (pieces) of Chinese ancient books, modern and contemporary publications, and other physical versions, and more than 3.6 billion pages of digital documents. Since its opening, the National Archives of Publications and Culture has received more than 2.2 million visitors, telling Chinese stories and showcasing the Chinese image."
Liu Chengyong (刘成勇) introduced that the National Archives of Publications and Culture is currently building an online display platform for Chinese classics, digitally presenting the original appearance of ancient books, and promoting digital resources to serve the cultural life of the people.
Cheng Yuzhen (程玉珍), Member of the CPPCC—
More and More Young People are Returning to Their Hometowns to Start Businesses
Cheng Yuzhen (程玉珍), member of the National Committee of the CPPCC and Party Branch Secretary of Liuzhai Village (刘寨村), Huguan County (壶关县), Changzhi City (长治市), Shanxi Province (山西), shared her personal experience of the tremendous changes in rural China.
More than 30 years ago, Liuzhai Village (刘寨村) was a poor village with weak infrastructure and lagging development. In 2011, after Cheng Yuzhen (程玉珍) took office as the Party Branch Secretary of the village, she was determined to lead the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich.
"Relying on the Party's good policies for poverty alleviation, coupled with the hard work of the villagers, the village's water, electricity, roads, and networks have undergone tremendous changes, and pillar industries have also been developed. The whole village was lifted out of poverty in 2016, and the lives of the villagers are getting better and better 芝麻开花 (zhī ma kāi huā - "sesame flower blooming," steadily improving, like a sesame flower blooming joint by joint)." Cheng Yuzhen (程玉珍) said that more and more young people are returning to their hometowns to start businesses, engaging in live streaming and running homestays, presenting a harmonious and beautiful rural scene with thriving industries, a prosperous population, and a beautiful environment.
Cui Haiyang (崔海洋), Member of the CPPCC—
Ethnic Unity Flourishes in the Everyday Life of the Community
As a researcher of ethnic culture, Cui Haiyang (崔海洋), member of the National Committee of the CPPCC and Vice President of Guizhou Minzu University (贵州民族大学), often goes to ethnic areas for research. An elder Bouyei (布依族) woman, Yang Shuixing (杨水杏), left a deep impression on him.
Through relocation for poverty alleviation, Yang Shuixing (杨水杏) moved to the resettlement community of the Astronomy Town (天文小镇) in Pingtang County (平塘县), Guizhou Province (贵州). In the community, people of various ethnic groups, including Han (汉族), Miao (苗族), Bouyei (布依族), and Tujia (土家族), gathered here. Yang Shuixing (杨水杏) not only learned Mandarin, but also showed the traditional culture of the Bouyei (布依族) people through singing and playing musical instruments, which is very popular among tourists.
In such an embedded community, people of all ethnic groups chat in the ethnic unity canteen and earn real income with their handicrafts in the ethnic handicraft workshop. Ethnic unity flourishes in the everyday life of every community.

"Accelerating the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (粤港澳大湾区), better integrating into the overall development, serving the country, and contributing to the country have become the consensus of Hong Kong society." Tu Haiming (屠海鸣), member of the National Committee of the CPPCC and Deputy Director of the Committee for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Overseas Chinese Affairs of the CPPCC National Committee, said.
Tu Haiming (屠海鸣) shared three major events in Hong Kong last year: First, Guangdong (广东), Hong Kong (香港), and Macao (澳门) jointly hosted the 15th National Games (全国运动会); second, in the past year, a total of 119 companies were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (港交所), of which 94% of the companies came from the mainland and raised 88% of the funds; third, in August last year, the Ministry of Science and Technology (科技部) awarded licenses to 15 national key laboratories in Hong Kong.
Tu Haiming (屠海鸣) said that Hong Kong cannot afford to wait to connect with the "15th Five-Year Plan"; Hong Kong has an unshirkable responsibility to better integrate into the overall national development.
Chen Jimin (陈季敏), Member of the CPPCC—
Macao Moves Forward Hand in Hand with the Motherland
Chen Jimin (陈季敏), member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Board of Trustees of the Macau University of Science and Technology (澳门科技大学), introduced that at the beginning of the establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region (澳门特别行政区), the student population of Macao universities was only 8,000, but now it has increased to more than 62,000, and the number of university researchers has also increased to 1,773.
Chen Jimin (陈季敏) introduced: "Macao is building a high ground for gathering global wisdom, connecting domestic and foreign collaborative innovation, and gathering international high-end talents. A group of young scientists are growing rapidly, and more and more top international scientists are settling in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (粤港澳大湾区)."
"Macao moves forward hand in hand with the motherland, contributing Macao's wisdom and strength to the country's construction of a strong country in education, science and technology, and talent." Chen Jimin (陈季敏) said.
Xu Kewei (许可慰), Member of the CPPCC—
Moving from "Compatriots on Both Sides of the Strait are One Family" to "People on Both Sides of the Strait are One Family"
"In the mainland, hard work really pays off." Xu Kewei (许可慰), member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, Standing Committee Member of the Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League (台盟中央常委), and President of the Guangdong Taiwan Compatriots Association (广东省台联会长), is a third-generation Taiwanese compatriot who settled in the motherland. He is a surgeon who often performs surgeries, consultations, and lectures in various places, and has met many young Taiwanese friends who come to the mainland to study, start businesses, and settle down. Some of them came to Guangzhou (广州), Guangdong (广东) from Taiwan (台湾) to study medicine, and after graduating with a doctorate, they grew into the backbone of the department; some of them invested in manufacturing in Zhongshan (中山), Guangdong (广东), and promoted furniture companies to shift from OEM to brand overseas.
Xu Kewei (许可慰) said that he believes that as long as young people on both sides of the strait visit each other frequently and move towards each other, the future will definitely be better. "Let us move together from 'compatriots on both sides of the strait are one family' to 'people on both sides of the strait are one family' and work together to create a super awesome tomorrow."
Return to TopIn January of this year, the topside module of the offshore converter station for the Yangjiang Sanshan Island Offshore Wind Power Flexible DC Transmission Project (referred to as the "Sanshan Island Project" (三山岛工程)) was successfully capped, marking the basic completion of the project's main structure construction. The next stage will be the installation of electrical equipment. As China's first offshore wind power sea-land integrated flexible DC transmission project, the Sanshan Island Project (三山岛工程) will transmit "green electricity" from the far sea to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
In 2026, China Southern Power Grid Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd. (南方电网广东电网公司) (referred to as "Guangdong Power Grid" (广东电网)) will accelerate the construction of a new power system and a new energy system, accelerate comprehensive intelligent development, better coordinate development and security, and contribute more power grid strength to Guangdong's long-term, sustained, and healthy economic development and to taking the lead in promoting Chinese-style modernization.
Building Six "Power Bay Areas"
Helping the Construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
In January of this year, the Guangdong Zhaoqing 500 kV Ganxiang Transmission and Substation Project (广东肇庆500千伏柑乡输变电工程) was officially put into operation. As a hub for western Guangdong electricity to access the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the project has improved the western Guangdong clean energy transmission channel and optimized the Bay Area's outer ring power grid transmission layout. Relying on projects such as the Shiziyang Extra-large Span Renovation (狮子洋大跨越改造) to be put into operation in 2025, the transmission capacity of the southern channel of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will be increased by approximately 40%. By the end of 2025, Guangdong Power Grid (广东电网) had cumulatively built 195 European standard charging stations, forming a European standard charging network throughout the Bay Area, serving more than 45,000 Hong Kong and Macao vehicles throughout the year, and strongly supporting Hong Kong and Macao vehicles "heading north."
This year, Guangdong Power Grid (广东电网) will focus on building six "Power Bay Areas" with the goals of being strong and resilient, green and low-carbon, integrated with science and industry, coordinated with electricity and calculation, empowered by digital intelligence, and open and shared. It will accelerate the construction of 24 key projects such as the second channel for sending electricity from eastern Guangdong to Shenzhen, accelerate the transfer of clean energy from western regions such as Tibet and Qinghai to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, build a clean and low-carbon power technology innovation research base, create a new high ground for energy storage industry innovation, and deepen the physical operation of the Power Robot Laboratory and the Hengqin Digital Zero-Carbon Island Shared Laboratory (横琴数字零碳岛共享实验室).
Building Three "Modernized Power Villages"
Serving the Comprehensive Revitalization of Rural Areas
In 2025, in order to help make rural electricity consumption more reliable and create a modernized rural power grid, Guangdong Power Grid (广东电网) achieved full coverage of 220 kV substations in each district and county ("one station per county") and full coverage of 35 kV and above substations in central towns ("one station per town") throughout the province. The reliability of power supply, the quality of power supply, and the average distribution transformer capacity per household have all been effectively improved. Five first-class mountainous power grid demonstration towns were built in Meizhou, Shaoguan, Maoming and other places to help make rural life better. In 2025, 4,327 new charging piles were put into operation throughout the province, achieving full coverage of supercharging (comprehensive) stations in counties and districts, helping new energy vehicles travel smoothly in urban and rural areas. Guangdong Power Grid (广东电网) helped rural industries become more prosperous. It has invested more than 4.5 billion yuan in 115 counties and districts and 658 towns in Guangdong Province to build 1,700 new era electrified villages, supporting the development of more than 100 characteristic industries in towns such as "electric tea roasting" and "all-electric homestays," helping companies save more than 30% of energy costs.
This year, Guangdong Power Grid (广东电网) will serve regional coordinated development by building three "modernized power villages," namely, building a "modernized power village" with abundant and reliable power supply and no sense of electricity consumption, building a "modernized power village" with high-quality and equal power supply and no worries about electricity consumption, and building a "modernized power village" with prosperous industries, green and low-carbon, promoting the radiation of high-quality service resources to rural areas, and accelerating the construction of charging facilities in typical villages of the second batch of "Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, and Ten Thousand Villages High-Quality Development Project" (广东省第二批“百县千镇万村高质量发展工程”).
Accelerating the Construction of a "Highway" for Clean Energy Transmission
Promoting the Comprehensive Green Transformation of Economic Society
In February of this year, the test building of Guangdong Wind Power Offshore Test Base (广东省风电临海试验基地), the first wind power offshore test base in China led by Guangdong Power Grid (广东电网), was completed. In the future, the base will deploy a wind turbine test simulation laboratory and a real-time monitoring system to provide technical support for the modern offshore wind power industry system and further "increase the code" for Guangdong's efforts to strengthen its maritime power.
Strengthening maritime power, a surge of green electricity. The Yangjiang Ehuang Offshore Wind Power (阳江鹅凰海上风电) and the 500 kV Xuwen East (500千伏徐闻东) and other wind-fire bundled centralized transmission projects put into operation in 2025 will effectively increase the offshore wind power transmission capacity by nearly 8 million kilowatts. At the same time, China Southern Power Grid Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd. (南方电网广东电网公司) organized and carried out power grid carrying capacity assessments to guide the rational layout of distributed photovoltaics and energy storage throughout the province, effectively responding to the largest provincial-level distributed photovoltaic rush installation wave in the country, and supporting the grid connection of 18 million kilowatts of newly added distributed photovoltaic capacity.
Green mountains and clear waters are golden mountains and silver mountains, 绿水青山就是金山银山 (lǜ shuǐ qīng shān jiù shì jīn shān yín shān - "green water clear mountain is gold mountain silver mountain," lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets), this year, China Southern Power Grid Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd. (南方电网广东电网公司) will continue to do a good job in supporting services to help improve the "green content" of Guangdong's development. China Southern Power Grid Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd. (南方电网广东电网公司) will build 7 zero-carbon demonstration projects such as the Zhaoqing Longhu Substation (肇庆龙湖变电站), vigorously build a world-class coastal power grid, and provide strong support for the large-scale development of offshore wind power and the development of the marine economy.
In the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan," China Southern Power Grid Guangdong Power Grid Co., Ltd. (南方电网广东电网公司) will continue to promote the acceleration of major project construction, the improvement of distribution network upgrades, and the improvement of industrial innovation quality, and inject strong momentum into Guangdong's high-quality economic and social development with the "stability" and "progress" of the power grid.

"Now, recording research content, submitting proposals and suggestions, and tracking the responses of responsible units can all be done online, which brings us tangible convenience in performing our duties." During this year's National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (中国人民政治协商会议) sessions, Li Ruifang (李瑞芳), deputy principal of Guomen Primary School (国门小学) in Cangyuan Va Autonomous County (沧源佤族自治县), Lincang City (临沧市), Yunnan Province (云南省), showed reporters the information platform for deputies to the National People's Congress.
Guomen Primary School, where Li Ruifang works, is only 14 kilometers away from the China-Myanmar border. In 2004, when she returned to work in her hometown of Cangyuan (沧源), many village schools didn't even have a complete blackboard. "It hasn't been easy for Guomen Primary School to get to where it is today, and we can't stop." Li Ruifang continues to pay attention to the development of education in the border areas and has submitted several suggestions on the platform.
"Regarding the suggestion to increase support for the construction of digital campuses in primary and secondary schools in Lincang City (临沧市), I quickly received an online response," said Li Ruifang (李瑞芳). With the help of the "one suggestion, one group" mechanism, deputies have achieved "frequent" online real-time communication with the responsible units. At present, about 36,000 deputies' suggestions have been processed online through the platform, and the people's congresses of 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, the special committees of the National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会), and more than 200 units responsible for handling deputies' suggestions have deployed and used the platform.
Participating in symposiums on maritime trials, going to local courts for research, and paying attention to the "procuratorate-association linkage" to help the high-quality development of the private economy... The online performance log of Zhang Qiaoliang (张巧良), chief partner of Shandong Kangqiao Law Firm (山东康桥律师事务所), is clearly traceable.
"In our daily work, we deal with different business entities and collect a lot of information and needs." When forming suggestions, Zhang Qiaoliang (张巧良) often reviews his research timeline through the platform to sort out the urgent needs and concerns of enterprises.
Continuously paying attention to topics related to the Law on Promoting the Private Economy, from collecting relevant suggestions before legislation to better leveraging the role of legislation, and then to supporting the introduction of supporting implementation rules, Zhang Qiaoliang's (张巧良) performance experience on the platform has witnessed the formulation and development of the Law on Promoting the Private Economy. "Before the Law on Promoting the Private Economy was promulgated, the platform solicited our opinions, the information is more concentrated, and it is easier for deputies to know the situation and policies," said Zhang Qiaoliang (张巧良).
Wang Haixia (王海霞), a staff member of the Economic Development Office of the United Township People's Government (联合乡人民政府) in Pengshui Miao and Tujia Autonomous County (彭水苗族土家族自治县), Chongqing (重庆), has been paying more attention in recent years to how to strengthen the characteristic mountain sweet potato industry and continuously broaden the channels for increasing farmers' income. When submitting suggestions on developing characteristic mountain agriculture, Wang Haixia (王海霞) consulted a large amount of information through the platform.
"National policies, laws and regulations, and good practices in various places can all be retrieved on the platform." Wang Haixia (王海霞) believes that "the inter-departmental resource interconnection, business collaboration, and information sharing, the platform's powerful database provides better support for my performance of duties."
Rooted in the grassroots, Wang Haixia (王海霞) has witnessed the transformation of sweet potatoes, which were once a "staple food," into a pillar industry, but how to promote better development of the industry? In 2026, the self-inspection and self-testing function of proposals and suggestions was connected to the platform. By comparing her own suggestions with the content of other National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) deputies, Wang Haixia (王海霞) has broadened her horizons and absorbed more useful experience. "We are also new farmers who are 与时俱进 (yǔ shí jù jìn - "advance with the times," keeping up with current trends and developments), even the villagers praised this platform as 'excellent' during the research!"
Return to TopThe heat of the Two Sessions confirms the world's desire for "stability" and "governance" (Global Times editorial)
By Ping (平)
Since the opening of the National Two Sessions (全国两会), the international media's attention has continued to rise. Data from the Global Times Research Institute shows that the number of foreign media reports on the Two Sessions has increased significantly for two consecutive years.
The foreign media's attention to the Two Sessions is undergoing a transformation from "onlooker" to "researcher," and from "finding problems" to "finding solutions." The French newspaper *Le Monde* has focused on the goal of "building China into a scientific and technological power." CNN calls China's science and technology development strategy a "plan to win the future." Foreign media reports are becoming more positive and objective, and the world's understanding of "China's governance," "China's stability," and "China's principles" is becoming more mature.
Behind the changes is the world's desire for certainty. At present, the international situation is turbulent, regional conflicts are escalating, the energy market is volatile, and the supply chain is unstable. A sense of unease permeates the globe. China is a stabilizing anchor for regional security and a source of power for development and prosperity. As an important window for observing China's policy trends, the National Two Sessions have global significance. China is firmly focusing on the "next five years" and even the more distant future. This strategic foresight and policy predictability give the world more security.
The series of goals and tasks that China will achieve during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period is essentially a "list of opportunities" for the world. Media outlets such as Reuters have noted that China will cultivate and strengthen emerging industries and future industries, and will regard brain-computer interfaces and embodied intelligence as new economic growth points. Through the National Two Sessions, the world can understand China's development blueprint and actively seek new opportunities and possibilities to catch the express train of China's development.
China's development achievements and governance methods provide the world with a new path toward modernization. The world has truly seen that more than 800 million people have been lifted out of poverty, infrastructure such as high-speed rail networks, water conservancy networks, and computing power networks have 拔地而起 (bá dì ér qǐ - "rise from the ground," spring up like mushrooms), and breakthroughs are constantly being made in cutting-edge fields such as chips and artificial intelligence. Through "drawing a blueprint to the end," China is taking firm steps, turning beautiful visions into reality one by one. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China will continue to increase investment in employment, education, medical care, elderly care and other fields to meet the people's aspirations for a better life. The development concept of putting the people at the center is rooted in the profound bloodline of outstanding traditional Chinese culture and reflects the original aspiration and pursuit of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党). The world is deeply considering the key to governance and the foundation of development.
China's confident and open attitude makes the world more willing to listen. When some countries build "small yards and high walls" and advocate "decoupling and breaking chains," China is opening its arms to the world with practical actions. China's continuous expansion of high-level opening-up to the outside world means that the global industrial chain and supply chain will be smoother, the world economic growth will be more dynamic, and the development of the rules-based multilateral trading system will be more stable. China is injecting valuable certainty and confidence into global governance with a clear stance, pragmatic solutions, and stable expectations.

On the morning of March 8th, there was a lively scene at the Science and Technology Association group meeting of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协).
Scene 1: "Taking it seriously"
"I made a note on the twelfth line of page forty-five."
The group meeting discussed three draft laws: the Draft Ecological Environment Code, the Draft Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress, and the Draft National Development Plan Law.
At the scene, each member's desk was piled high with thick documents.
"We need to include popular science work." Min Yiren (闵宜仁), former member of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Emergency Management (应急管理部), and former Party Secretary and Director of the China Earthquake Administration (中国地震局), opened the documents at hand and suggested: "Here, we should further emphasize the publicity and popularization of knowledge about protection work."
The design of laws and regulations concerns the long term, and every word and every sentence cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness. Behind the "serious" suggestions are the enthusiasm and sense of mission of the deputies and members in performing their duties, and a true reflection of China's whole-process people's democratic practice.
Scene 2: "Grabbing the Mic"
"I'd like to add a point here."
When a member mentioned "promoting preschool children to learn Mandarin," Shang Yong (尚勇), member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协常委) and Deputy Director of the Education, Science, Health and Sports Committee (教科卫体委员会), took the microphone and added: "Artificial intelligence can play a significant role in popularizing the national common language and writing system."
"I'd like to say a few more words." As soon as one member finished speaking, another member next to him took the microphone without waiting for the host to call on him.
The microphone has become a "sweet pastry" that members are vying for at the group meeting. There is no coldness, only "grabbing the mic"; no politeness, only substance. To offer suggestions for the country and speak for the people, the members go straight to the point and race against time.
Scene 3: Speaking frankly
"What is construction waste? What is a resource?" Cao A'min (曹阿民), full-time vice chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the China Democratic League (民盟上海市委会), pointed out that uncontaminated construction waste is also a valuable resource that can be used for building backfilling.
"In this regard, we have had painful lessons." When talking about the safety issues of industrial solid waste and liquid waste storage, Shang Yong (尚勇) tapped the table and cited cases to illustrate the point.
Without avoiding problems or beating around the bush, the "science and technology team" at the group meeting frankly expressed their views from their respective perspectives, demonstrating their responsibility in jointly discussing state affairs.
Return to TopThe Yangtze and Jialing Rivers surge with a thousand sails racing, the mountain city shines with a myriad of new appearances. From the transformation of the streets and alleys of the Democratic Village Community (民主村社区) in Jiulongpo District (九龙坡区), Chongqing (重庆), to the renewal and upgrading of the Guanyinqiao business district (观音桥商圈) area; from the continuation of the historical and cultural context of the Chongqing Port Opening Relics Park (重庆开埠遗址公园), to the rebirth of the idle factory buildings of the "Nader Sanlang Park No. 6" (耐德·三狼公园6号) enterprise park... Walking through the streets and alleys of Chongqing, vivid scenes of urban renewal can be seen everywhere.
Chinese-style modernization prioritizes people's livelihood. In order to promote the construction of a modernized people's city in a deep and solid manner, Chongqing has launched a three-year action plan for urban renewal, innovatively promoting urban renewal from communities to blocks to areas, and building the "four cornerstones" of urban renewal: "physical examination support, policy support, financial assistance, and AI empowerment." It uses systematic capabilities to promote high-quality urban renewal, injecting a continuous stream of momentum into the modernization of mega-city governance.
Physical Examination First, Precise Policy Implementation
Focusing on People's Livelihood Needs
Urban renewal starts with a physical examination. In recent years, Chongqing has adhered to the concept of "physical examination first, then renewal; no physical examination, no renewal." It conducts urban physical examinations from multiple dimensions such as housing safety, community services, transportation, and industrial development. It comprehensively sorts out problems, shortcomings, and idle spaces, establishes a high-quality urban renewal data set, and comprehensively connects to the digital Chongqing IRS system to achieve full data collection, comprehensive sharing, and comprehensive empowerment. On this basis, it forms a "single account" of urban renewal problems and a "single map" of idle assets and resources, changing from "piecemeal" to systematic planning, and from 见子打子 (jiàn zǐ dǎ zǐ - "playing a move when seeing a piece," addressing problems only when they arise) to overall promotion, allowing urban renewal to accurately meet the needs of people's livelihood.
Based on the results of precise urban physical examinations, Chongqing has reduced the size of work units and improved the implementation mechanism of "special planning - area planning - project plan," achieving "overall area design, bundled use of funds, integrated project implementation, and one-time effect formation." In 2025, nine urban renewal demonstration projects in the central urban area of Chongqing will be unveiled, among which the Guanyinqiao business district (观音桥商圈) area will achieve a two-way improvement in business format upgrades and spatial expansion, and the Ma'anshan traditional style area (马鞍山传统风貌区) will allow cultural heritage and quality improvement to resonate at the same frequency... One demonstration project after another has been implemented and achieved results, making the people's livelihood foundation of urban renewal more distinct.
Activating Existing Assets, Value Reshaping
Stimulating the Vitality of Idle Resources
Urban renewal is not only the reconstruction of space, but also the reshaping of value. Targeting idle commercial offices, old factories, and scattered plots identified in the urban physical examination, Chongqing has comprehensively implemented the "three creations" (innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity) to revitalize existing resources and enhance action, implement front-end planning, front-end operation, and front-end investment and financing, accurately locate functional needs and transformation directions, and enhance the project's self-balancing ability. At the same time, it creates high-quality living, cultural tourism consumption, and innovative entrepreneurship new scenarios, develops urban "fireworks economy" and "atmosphere economy" according to local conditions, and promotes urban renewal from morphological shaping to business format cultivation.
As of now, Chongqing has successfully created sample projects for resource revitalization such as the "Nader Sanlang Park No. 6" (耐德·三狼公园6号) enterprise park and the Huayu City Life Science and Technology Park (华宇城生命科技园). Six projects, including the Chongqing Port Opening Relics Park (重庆开埠遗址公园) and the Tapu area (塔坪片区) old community renovation, have been rated as national typical cases of urban renewal, and 23 urban renewal experiences and practices have been promoted nationwide, making idle resources a new space for development.
Diversified Participation, Long-term Operation
Gathering Joint Construction and Sharing Efforts
In order to promote the sustainable development of urban renewal, Chongqing is anchored in the direction of marketization, adheres to market-oriented operation, allows the market to become the main means of resource allocation, and promotes the collaborative efforts of the government, enterprises, and financial institutions. Through precise policy matching, relaxation of market access, and smooth exit channels, enterprises can clearly calculate their profit accounts, invest with confidence, willingness, and without worries, and activate the endogenous power of urban renewal with market-oriented "blood production" to achieve a "two-way rush" between government and enterprise win-win and urban development. At present, the social capital participation rate in the 233 urban renewal projects that have been implemented has reached 70%, becoming an important force in urban renewal. The 2025 China (Chongqing) Urban Renewal Forum and Resource Docking Conference was successfully held, with 31 projects signed and a total investment of over 37 billion yuan.
Digital Empowerment, Technology Support
Enhancing Urban Renewal Capabilities
Urban renewal is inseparable from digital empowerment. Chongqing integrates digital thinking and technology into the entire process of urban renewal, and builds a comprehensive scenario of "AI + urban planning, construction, operation, and governance integration" to break down data silos, policy barriers, and process bottlenecks in traditional planning, construction, operation, and governance. It has developed multiple AI intelligent entities such as "physical examination portraits" and connected 41 events such as pipeline excavation damage to the three-level governance center. Pilot operations have been carried out in 10 area renewal projects in the central urban area, forming a full-factor, full-process, and full-scenario system capability of automatic generation of urban renewal projects, automatic policy matching, automatic resource push, and automatic effect evaluation.
In addition, Chongqing takes urban renewal as an opportunity to promote the construction of urban lifeline safety projects, build a city-wide, full-volume, integrated digital twin application system for underground pipelines, making underground pipelines "visible and able to speak." After the system is launched and applied, the incidence of third-party excavation damage accidents has decreased by approximately 70%, building a solid safety and resilience foundation for urban renewal.

The "Proposals of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" adopted at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee proposed: "Solidly forge a sense of community for the Chinese nation and promote the construction of a community for the Chinese nation." This fully reflects the inherent requirements and important focus of the cause of ethnic unity and progress led by the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) in the next five years. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (党中央) with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has attached great importance to ethnic work, adhered to integrity and innovation, and continuously promoted the Sinicization of Marxism's ethnic theory in the new era. It has clearly put forward the idea of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line of the Party's ethnic work and all work in ethnic areas in the new era, forming General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平总书记) important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work. This important thought enriches and develops Marxist ethnic theory in theory and practice, consolidates and expands the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics, and points out the direction and provides fundamental guidelines for promoting Chinese-style modernization and promoting the common prosperity and development of all ethnic groups.
Deeply Grasp the Great Historical Process of Our Party Leading All Ethnic Groups to Jointly Build a Community of the Chinese Nation
The Chinese nation is a great nation of unity in diversity. In the course of more than 5,000 years of civilization, all ethnic groups in our country have jointly developed the vast territory of the motherland, jointly created a unified multi-ethnic country, jointly written a glorious Chinese history, jointly created a splendid Chinese culture, and jointly cultivated a great national spirit. In modern times, China gradually became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, suffering from the great powers' bullying, division, frequent wars, and the suffering of the people. The people of all ethnic groups in our country have always adhered to the common belief that the territory cannot be divided, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be dispersed, and civilization cannot be broken. In the heroic struggle to save the country and resist foreign aggression, they have realized the great transformation of the Chinese nation from freedom to consciousness.
Since its establishment, our Party has always attached great importance to ethnic issues and ethnic work, whether it was partially in power in revolutionary base areas or fully in power and long-term in power after seizing power. It has paid attention to correctly grasping and handling ethnic relations from the main tasks facing the Party in different historical periods. The Chinese Communists (中国共产党人) with Comrade Mao Zedong (毛泽东) as their main representative led the people to fight bloody battles and persevere in the face of setbacks, overthrowing the "three great mountains" of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism. From the Second National Congress of the Party proposing a democratic revolutionary program to unite the people of all ethnic groups under the banner of the Party and throw themselves into the revolutionary torrent of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism, to the Red Army relying on the support and help of the people of all ethnic groups to successfully reach northern Shaanxi during the Long March, leaving behind the legendary stories of the alliance in Yi Hai and deep brotherly love; from the unity and concerted efforts of all ethnic groups to jointly face national disasters during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, to the overthrow of the dark rule of the Kuomintang reactionaries during the War of Liberation, completely eliminating ethnic exploitation and ethnic oppression... Our Party led the people of all ethnic groups to get rid of imperialist aggression and oppression from the outside, seeking the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation; internally, it eliminated ethnic oppression and ethnic discrimination, seeking equality, unity, and progress for all ethnic groups, completing the central task of solving ethnic problems in this period. With the founding of the People's Republic of China (中华人民共和国), the people of all ethnic groups realized their common status as masters of the country, solemnly declaring to the world with heroic and tenacious struggle that the era in which the Chinese nation was at the mercy of others and suffered bullying was gone forever, and China's development has since opened a new era. Under the socialist system, all ethnic groups have achieved true equality, unity, and progress, realizing the most extensive and profound social changes in the history of the Chinese nation's development. In this historical process, Comrade Mao Zedong's (毛泽东同志) incisive statement that "the unity of the country, the unity of the people, and the unity of all ethnic groups within the country are the basic guarantees for the inevitable victory of our cause" is a high-level summary of the historical experience of the cause of ethnic unity and progress with Chinese characteristics.
Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists (中国共产党人) with Comrade Deng Xiaoping (邓小平) as their main representative have re-established the correct direction of our country's ethnic work, shifted the focus of ethnic work to serving economic construction, consolidated and developed new socialist ethnic relations, and opened up a new situation of vigorous development for all ethnic groups in our country in the new historical period of reform and opening up. Comrade Deng Xiaoping (邓小平同志) emphasized that it is necessary to develop production and make the people rich, and "only by doing this well can we consolidate ethnic unity." Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists (中国共产党人) with Comrade Jiang Zemin (江泽民) as their main representative have deepened and developed the Party's ethnic theory and ethnic policies, formulated and implemented the Western Development Strategy, and taken a series of major measures to accelerate the development of ethnic minorities and ethnic areas, effectively safeguarding ethnic unity, social stability, and national unity. Since the Sixteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists (中国共产党人) with Comrade Hu Jintao (胡锦涛) as their main representative have established the theme of ethnic work in the new century and new stage of all ethnic groups uniting and struggling together and jointly prospering and developing, emphasizing that promoting ethnic unity and achieving common progress is the fundamental task of ethnic work, and made a series of major deployments to strengthen and improve ethnic work, and the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in our country has been continuously consolidated and developed.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists (中国共产党人) with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) as their main representative have reviewed the changes of the past and present, observed the trends of the times, coordinated the two major situations at home and abroad, coordinated development and security, and taken overall control of the great struggle, the great project, the great cause, and the great dream. Starting from the strategic height of comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the nation, they have raised ethnic work to an unprecedented new historical height, continuously enriched and developed the Party's ethnic theory and ethnic policies, and put forward a series of new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies, forming General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平总书记) important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work. This important thought creatively puts forward concepts such as the big family of the Chinese nation, the community of the Chinese nation, forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, and promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation, emphasizing that forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation means guiding the people of all ethnic groups to firmly establish the concept of a community with a shared future, sharing weal and woe, sharing life and death, and sharing destiny; emphasizing the need to correctly grasp the relationship between commonality and differences, the relationship between the sense of community of the Chinese nation and the consciousness of all ethnic groups, the relationship between Chinese culture and the cultures of all ethnic groups, and the relationship between material and spiritual matters; emphasizing that forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is the main line of the Party's ethnic work in the new era, and also the main line of all work in ethnic areas; emphasizing that forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and promoting the high-quality development of the Party's ethnic work in the new era is the common task of the entire Party, the entire country, and the people of all ethnic groups; and so on. This important thought has achieved a major breakthrough in the Party's theory and practice of ethnic work, marking that our Party's understanding and grasp of ethnic issues has reached a new height, and is an important ideological weapon for promoting the high-quality development of the Party's ethnic work in the new era. As the leader of a large party and a large country, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平总书记) always puts the people of all ethnic groups in an important position in his heart. From the roof of the world to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains (天山), from the mountainous areas of southwest China to the grasslands of northern China, he goes deep among the people of all ethnic groups to listen to the voices of the people and discuss the development of ethnic areas, promoting the concept of a community of the Chinese nation to take root in people's hearts and promoting all ethnic groups to embrace each other tightly like pomegranate seeds in the big family of the Chinese nation. In particular, the deployment of the formulation of the Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress will further improve the institutional mechanisms for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation, and maximize the pooling of the powerful forces for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Deeply Appreciate the Truth Power and Practical Greatness of the Concept of Promoting the Construction of a Community of the Chinese Nation
General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平总书记) important concept of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation clearly reveals the essence of the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics, and fully embodies the innovation and development of Marxist ethnic theory. It is the essence of the times formed by deeply analyzing and judging the Party's ethnic work in the new era by using the "two combinations."
Adhering to the "two combinations" has opened up a new realm for the Sinicization of Marxism's ethnic theory in the new era, greatly deepening our Party's understanding of the laws of ethnic issues and ethnic work, and has a clear theoretical guiding force. Keeping pace with the times is the theoretical character of Marxism and the key to the Party's ethnic theory and policies maintaining vitality. Promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation and adhering to the combination of Marxist ethnic theory with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture is the latest theoretical expression of the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics. This path is different from the Western path of "one nation, one country" and also different from the way traditional feudal autocratic dynasties handled ethnic problems. Instead, it is the path of building a community of the Chinese nation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), realizing the people's status as masters of the country, adhering to ethnic regional autonomy, ethnic equality, unity, mutual assistance, and harmony, with multiple ethnic groups jointly forming a "family," jointly uniting and struggling, and jointly prospering and developing. Under the guidance of the power of Marxist truth, the inherent feelings of family and country, national complex, and sense of responsibility in China's excellent traditional culture have been fully activated. The ideas of "unification of the world" and "governing according to customs" in China's excellent traditional culture are highly consistent with Marxism's emphasis on striving for ethnic equality and recognizing ethnic differences; the governance concepts of "all within the four seas are brothers," "the 'people of the five directions' share the world," and "cultivate their teachings without changing their customs, and align their administration without changing their suitability" are highly consistent with Marxism's emphasis on adhering to starting from reality and handling ethnic issues in accordance with the laws of ethnic development. In the process of the "two combinations," the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) has not only adhered to the theoretical origins of Marxist classical writers, but also inherited the roots of China's excellent traditional culture, continued the consistent ideological propositions of the Chinese Communists, and greatly deepened our Party's understanding of the laws of ethnic issues and ethnic work with original theoretical character with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style, and Chinese spirit, so that the concept of promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation continues to demonstrate a strong theoretical guiding force.
Adhering to forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line, promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation, and promoting new historical achievements in the Party's ethnic work in the new era have a strong practical guiding force. The leap in theory is not only reflected in the self-consistency and self-certification of logic, but ultimately must be reflected in answering practical problems and leading practical development. Since the new era, our Party has adhered to forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation as the main line, promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation, and promoting new historical achievements in the Party's ethnic work, and the cause of ethnic unity and progress in our country has shown a new atmosphere. A total of 31.21 million impoverished people in ethnic areas have been lifted out of poverty, all 420 impoverished counties located in ethnic autonomous areas have been lifted out of poverty, and all 28 ethnic groups with smaller populations have been lifted out of poverty as a whole, historically solving the problem of absolute poverty, and all ethnic minorities and ethnic areas have built a moderately prosperous society in all respects along with the rest of the country. Profound changes have taken place in the urban and rural landscapes of ethnic areas, the economy has continued to develop rapidly, and the gross domestic product of ethnic areas has steadily increased. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, new achievements have been made in all ethnic groups jointly moving towards socialist modernization. From 2020 to 2024, the total gross domestic product of the five ethnic autonomous regions increased from 6012.9 billion yuan to 8376.6 billion yuan, with an average annual growth of 5.6%, of which Tibet (西藏) and Xinjiang (新疆) had average annual growth rates of 6.1% and 6.0% respectively. Infrastructure conditions have been significantly improved, the level of public services such as education, medical care, and social security has been greatly improved, and the ecological barrier has become more solid. Innovative implementation of exchange programs for young people of all ethnic groups, embedded development programs for people of all ethnic groups, and tourism promotion programs for exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups, and regular organization of national minority visiting groups to visit various parts of the motherland, making exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups more extensive and in-depth. The 12th National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities was successfully held, realizing the great reunion of delegations from all regions, including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, for the first time in a domestic comprehensive sports event. The self-confidence and pride of the Chinese nation have been unprecedentedly stimulated, and it is increasingly moving towards a community of destiny with broader inclusiveness, higher recognition, and stronger cohesion.
It has embarked on a correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics, demonstrating the distinct characteristics of multi-ethnic countries achieving unity, prosperity, and development of all ethnic groups, and contributing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the governance of ethnic affairs in various countries around the world. The governance of ethnic affairs is a global governance problem. As long as there are ethnic groups, there will be ethnic problems, and ethnic problems must be dealt with. Especially in today's world, when profound changes unseen in a century are accelerating, unilateralism, protectionism, and populism are breeding and spreading, and problems such as ethnic conflicts, religious contradictions, and racial segregation are becoming increasingly prominent, seriously affecting the global peace and development process. In the process of solving ethnic problems, some countries have implemented forced assimilation policies, ignoring or even suppressing the culture and rights of ethnic minorities; some have allowed ethnic separatist forces to develop, leading to national division and social unrest; and some have adopted a "divide and rule" strategy, exacerbating ethnic contradictions and antagonism. These practices have not only failed to solve ethnic problems, but have also triggered more social crises. In sharp contrast, our country adheres to promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation, embarking on a correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics, and forming a good situation of all ethnic groups uniting and struggling together and jointly prospering and developing. China has proved through its own successful practice that multi-ethnic countries can fully achieve the unity, prosperity, and development of all ethnic groups. At the same time, China actively carries out international cooperation, sharing its experiences and practices in ethnic work with various countries around the world, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations, and promoting the harmonious development of global ethnic relations. This governance approach of incorporating ethnic issues into the overall development of the country not only protects the diversity of ethnic cultures, but also strengthens the overall cohesion of the country, avoiding the limitations of solving ethnic problems in a single dimension. In today's world of deepening economic globalization, the inclusiveness, constructiveness, and win-win nature of the concept of building a community of the Chinese nation provide new ideas and references for solving global ethnic problems and promoting the progress of human civilization.
Continuously Open Up New Prospects for the Construction of a Community of the Chinese Nation in the Practice of Promoting Chinese-Style Modernization
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平总书记) pointed out: "To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, all ethnic groups need to join hands, shoulder to shoulder, and work together." At present and for a period of time to come, our country is in a critical period of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and realizing the second centenary goal. We must earnestly forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, promote the construction of a community of the Chinese nation, continuously consolidate the common ideological foundation for the unity and struggle of all ethnic groups, further strengthen the construction of political security, economic security, cultural security, and social security in ethnic areas, and gather the powerful forces for building a strong country and realizing national rejuvenation.
Comprehensively strengthen the Party's leadership over ethnic work and continuously consolidate the common ideological and political foundation for the unity and struggle of all ethnic groups. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平总书记) pointed out: "Whether ethnic work can be done well or not, the most fundamental thing is whether the Party's leadership is strong and effective." Strengthening and improving the Party's overall leadership is the fundamental political guarantee for doing a good job in the Party's ethnic work in the new era, and it is also a fundamental principle for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of a community of the Chinese nation. On the new journey, it is necessary to adhere to using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平总书记) important thought on strengthening and improving ethnic work, to unify thinking, unify will, and unify action, and consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee (党中央) with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core in thought, politics, and action. Adhere to managing the Party and administering the Party with reform spirit and strict standards, implement the requirements of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation throughout the entire process of cadre training, use, and management, comprehensively strengthen the construction of leadership teams at all levels, cadre talent teams, and grassroots organizations, and ensure that the Party Central Committee's (党中央) major decisions and deployments on ethnic work are implemented in detail. It is necessary to implement the overall national security concept, improve the system and mechanism for preventing and resolving risks and hidden dangers in the ethnic field, resolutely prevent major risks and hidden dangers in the ethnic field, and safeguard national security and social stability.
Focus on building a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation, providing strong spiritual and cultural support for promoting the construction of the Chinese national community. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Culture is the soul of a nation, and cultural identity is the root of national unity." Building a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation is the key to promoting the construction of the Chinese national community. Only when the issue of cultural identity is resolved can the identity with the great motherland, the Chinese nation, and the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics be consolidated. On the new journey, it is necessary to focus on continuing the cultural heritage of China, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of outstanding traditional Chinese culture, continuously consolidate and promote the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation, and lay a solid cultural foundation for building a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation. Taking the core socialist values as the guide, deepen patriotism, collectivism, and socialist education, and guide the masses of all ethnic groups to firmly establish correct views on the country, history, ethnicity, culture, and religion. Strengthen the research, publicity, and interpretation of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and the pattern of a unified and diverse Chinese nation, promote the inheritance, protection, and innovative integration of the traditional cultures of all ethnic groups, establish Chinese cultural symbols and images of the Chinese nation that highlight the sharing of all ethnic groups, and tell the story of the Chinese national community well.
Adhere to the people-centered development philosophy and accelerate the high-quality development of ethnic areas. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Development is the general key to solving various problems in ethnic areas. The key is what kind of development to achieve? 安民可与为义，而危民易与为非 (ān mín kě yǔ wéi yì, ér wēi mín yì yǔ wéi fēi - "pacifying the people can be considered righteous, while endangering the people easily leads to wrongdoing," meaning that the support of the people is essential for just governance, and endangering their well-being can lead to instability). We must do more practical things that are in line with the people's will and benefit the people's livelihood, and solve more problems that concern the masses of all ethnic groups." Restricted by geographical environment and natural conditions, the economic and social development of ethnic areas is generally relatively lagging behind, the level of productivity is generally not high, and there are problems such as unbalanced productivity development, unreasonable industrial structure, etc. between and within regions, and between and within industries. On the new journey, it is necessary to support ethnic areas in accelerating their integration into the overall national development, and promote closer economic ties and integration among all regions. Increase support for infrastructure construction in ethnic areas, adhere to ensuring and improving people's livelihood in development, enhance the balance and accessibility of basic public services, and continuously meet the people's aspirations for a better life. All ethnic regions should combine the formulation and implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan," fully and accurately implement the new development concept, continuously deepen reform and opening up, vigorously develop characteristic and advantageous industries, and develop new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions.
Hold high the banner of great unity of the Chinese nation and continuously promote exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The Chinese nation was forged in the exchanges, interactions, and integration of all ethnic groups, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will inevitably be realized in the exchanges, interactions, and integration of all ethnic groups." Promoting extensive exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups is an important way to promote the construction of the Chinese national community. The great unity of the Chinese nation is the prerequisite and foundation for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. The process of building a strong country and national rejuvenation must be a process of extensive exchanges, interactions, and integration among all ethnic groups, and it must be a process of common unity, struggle, common prosperity, and development of all ethnic groups. On the new journey, it is necessary to coordinate economic and social development plans and public resource allocation, accelerate the construction of mutually embedded social structures and social environments, improve the social conditions for the masses of all ethnic groups to gather, learn, build, share, work, and enjoy together in the big family of the Chinese nation, and actively carry out work to exchange, cultivate, and harmonize the feelings of the masses of all ethnic groups. Deepen the creation of national unity and progress, promote extensive exchanges, comprehensive interactions, and deep integration among all ethnic groups, gradually expand from spatial embedding to economic, cultural, social, and psychological embedding, create a harmonious network environment conducive to forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, and form an inseparable Chinese national community.
Adhere to governing ethnic affairs in accordance with the law and effectively enhance the modernization level of the ethnic affairs governance system and governance capabilities. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "We must govern ethnic affairs in accordance with the law to ensure that all citizens of all ethnic groups are equal before the law." Adhering to governing ethnic affairs in accordance with the law is an important institutional guarantee for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and strengthening the construction of the Chinese national community. Adhering to handling ethnic issues within the framework of laws and regulations is conducive to maintaining the structural stability of society. On the new journey, we must continuously improve our ability and level of governing ethnic affairs in accordance with the law and actively promote the modernization of the ethnic affairs governance system and governance capabilities. It is necessary to adhere to and improve the system of ethnic regional autonomy, gradually improve relevant laws and regulations and differentiated regional support policies, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the masses of all ethnic groups in accordance with the law. We must consolidate the foundation of the rule of law for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of the Chinese national community, transform the major theoretical and practical achievements made by the Party in ethnic work into the will of the state through national legislation, and improve the institutional mechanism for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation. Strengthen legal publicity and education, guide the masses of all ethnic groups to enhance their national consciousness, civic awareness, and awareness of the rule of law, strengthen supervision and inspection of the implementation of laws, regulations, and policies on ethnic work, and use legal systems to guarantee and promote the construction of the Chinese national community.

National reading is a fundamental project to improve national quality and enhance the country's cultural soft power. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "We must advocate reading more, build a scholarly society, and continuously improve the people's ideological realm and enhance the people's spiritual strength, so that the spiritual world of the Chinese nation can be more profound." As an important cultural facility, physical bookstores build a bridge between readers and books, and are an indispensable position for promoting national reading and building a scholarly society. The "National Reading Promotion Regulations" implemented on February 1st promote the work of promoting national reading into a new stage, proposing to "encourage physical bookstores to improve reading conditions and carry out reading activities, and give play to the service functions of national reading." To deeply study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important speech and implement the "National Reading Promotion Regulations," it is necessary to promote the transformation and development of physical bookstores to better serve the promotion of national reading and the construction of a scholarly society.
Reading is an important way for human beings to acquire knowledge, develop intelligence, and cultivate morality. In a scholarly society, the basic social reading facilities are more complete, the supply of high-quality publications is more abundant, the core socialist values are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the basic reading needs of special groups are better met. Promoting national reading and building a scholarly society cannot be separated from attracting, uniting, and infecting people with diverse and rich reading activities, and creating a good atmosphere of loving reading, reading good books, and being good at reading in the whole society. In this process, physical bookstores have unique advantages and can play an important role.
Compared with libraries, physical bookstores have higher market sensitivity and wider coverage. They can quickly capture readers' reading needs, introduce various publications in a timely manner, break the cycle restrictions of library collection updates, and can also penetrate into urban business districts, community streets, campus surroundings, rural fairs, and other scenarios that libraries can hardly fully cover, extending the fragrance of books to the "last mile" of people's lives. Compared with online bookstores, physical bookstores integrate book sales with cultural experience, social interaction, and convenient services through immersive experience, on-site interaction, and precise services, making it easier to stimulate national reading interest.
In recent years, some physical bookstores have precisely positioned and built different types of stores through differentiated and characteristic operations to meet the cultural needs of different reader groups. At the same time, with the rapid development of e-commerce and the widespread popularity of digital reading, the development of physical bookstores also faces difficulties and challenges such as rising operating costs and obvious diversion of passenger flow. The traditional business model is unsustainable, and accelerating transformation and development is imperative. Only by accelerating transformation and development can physical bookstores better adapt to the changing reading needs of the new era, accurately connect with the personalized and diversified reading preferences of different groups, and better meet the people's growing needs for spiritual and cultural life.
The transformation and development of physical bookstores is not a simple superposition of business formats, but through providing high-quality content, enriching reading scenes, and innovating service forms, extending the service chain, forming a comprehensive service system with books and reading as the core, and expanding the original single book sales into a comprehensive service including in-depth reading guidance, cultural and creative display, and public cultural exchange, thereby promoting the quality and efficiency of cultural products and services, optimizing upgrades, and precise adaptation. In practice, some physical bookstores in cities such as Beijing (北京), Shanghai (上海), and Hangzhou (杭州) have transformed into complex cultural spaces integrating reading and learning, leisure and gathering through the diversified reorganization of space functions, while better meeting the diverse and high-quality spiritual and cultural needs of the people, they have injected vitality into promoting national reading to go deeper and more solid.
Looking further, as an important symbol of the spiritual and cultural image of a city, the transformation and development of physical bookstores can broaden the boundaries of public cultural services and become an important starting point for enhancing the city's cultural taste and unique heritage, improving the city's level of civilization, and shaping the city's spirit. Physical bookstores connect book production and mass consumption and are an important part of the cultural industry. Their transformation and development can force the publishing industry to improve quality and optimize structure, and drive the coordinated development of cultural creation, cultural tourism, leisure, and other industries, supporting the high-quality development of the cultural industry.
To promote the transformation and development of physical bookstores, we must adhere to putting social benefits first, promote the unity of social benefits and economic benefits, and cannot blindly pursue becoming an "internet celebrity," let alone lose the cultural background in diversified operations. To this end, we must seize the important opportunity of the implementation of the "National Reading Promotion Regulations" and explore the practical path of the transformation and development of physical bookstores.
At the government level, we can strengthen policy guidance and support, support physical bookstores to participate in national reading activities, especially giving key support to physical bookstores with public welfare attributes located in remote areas and within communities. At the social level, we should vigorously promote a good atmosphere of respecting knowledge and advocating reading, increase publicity for excellent physical bookstores and reading models, and guide more people to enter bookstores. At the bookstore level, we can create a strong cultural atmosphere through unique spatial design and display art, and create a distinctive bookstore form that combines local characteristics; deepen the integration of business formats, use books as a medium to connect related cultural consumption, and cultivate new models such as "bookstore + coffee," "bookstore + cultural creation," and "bookstore + exhibition" to achieve a win-win situation for cultural value and commercial value; optimize and improve service quality, help readers screen high-quality content from massive amounts of information, and actively carry out reading promotion activities such as famous lectures, book sharing sessions, and author meet-and-greets, so that bookstores become salons for exchanging ideas and classrooms for cultural dissemination.

China, with its rich history, culture, and magnificent natural scenery, is attracting an increasing number of European tourists. "In recent years, the number of German tourists visiting China has continued to grow, thanks to the good cooperation between the two sides and the continuous upgrading of China's entry facilitation policies." At the Berlin International Tourism Fair, which celebrated its 60th anniversary, the President of the German Tourism Association, Norbert Fiebig (阿尔宾·洛伊德尔), stated that China possesses abundant and diverse tourism resources. "China tourism" is continuously "attracting fans" worldwide. "Germany looks forward to deepening cultural and tourism cooperation with China, allowing more German tourists to appreciate the diverse charm of Chinese culture and tourism."
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China (中国文化和旅游部) organized over a hundred Chinese representatives from cultural and tourism departments, tourism enterprises, airlines, and mobile communication companies from Beijing (北京), Shanghai (上海), Zhejiang (浙江), Hainan (海南), Guangdong (广东) and other regions to attend the 2026 Berlin International Tourism Fair. The "Ni Hao! China" exhibition area showcased China's rich and diverse tourism resources and distinctive tourism products, attracting numerous merchants and visitors from around the world to stop, inquire, and interact.
"Sanya (三亚) is as beautiful as a dazzling pearl." At the Hainan (海南) booth, Simon Blayson, Global Partnership Director of the world-renowned travel guide series "Lonely Planet," highly praised Sanya tourism. The Sanya Tourism Development Bureau (三亚市旅游发展局) and "Lonely Planet" signed a strategic cooperation memorandum, with cooperation centered on "content co-creation" and "global dissemination." Through the professional perspective of an international authoritative travel IP, Sanya is incorporated into the knowledge graph of global travelers, focusing on showcasing urban narratives about Sanya's coastal lifestyle and sustainable development.
The Guangdong (广东) booth showcased the characteristics of Lingnan (岭南) life through demonstrations such as Gongfu tea ceremonies. Guangdong (广东) focused on promoting themed tourism routes such as health and wellness vacations, cultural experiences, and high-tech innovation. Tourism enterprises from Guangzhou (广州), Shenzhen (深圳), and other places reached cooperation intentions with several European travel agencies, with a target cooperation amount of 120 million RMB.
Zhejiang (浙江) culture and tourism made its appearance with the core image of "Picturesque Zhejiang (诗画浙江)," cleverly integrating the totem of the Liangzhu Jade Cong, the flowing lines of the Grand Canal, and the shimmering light and shadows of West Lake (西湖), attracting many merchants to come and negotiate. Its globally launched "Hi Zhejiang (嗨游浙江)" one-stop inbound tourism service platform, based on AI large models, launched a tourism service code, allowing international tourists to conveniently achieve customs clearance, payment, and tax refunds, realizing "seamless travel upon arrival."
As China continues to optimize visa-free policies and facilitate entry conditions, an increasing number of foreign people are choosing China as a destination for culture, tourism, business, and other purposes, and the demand for cross-border payments continues to grow. The Frankfurt Branch of the Bank of China (中国银行法兰克福分行) set up an exhibition board on-site to promote the UnionPay Splendid China Card (银联锦绣中华卡), allowing foreign cardholders visiting China to easily integrate into China's widely popular mobile payment ecosystem.
"A few years ago, the visa fee to China was 160 euros, but now you can enjoy 30 days of visa-free treatment, which makes traveling to China more convenient." François, the founder of the French tourism promotion company Idéotour, said, "China tourism" is becoming increasingly popular in France, which can be attributed to friendly policies and measures. "China is vast, with rich natural landscapes and cultural forms. International tourists can appreciate the metropolitan landscapes of Beijing (北京), Shanghai (上海), Chongqing (重庆) and other major cities, or choose to go to Xinjiang (新疆), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) and other places to experience the vast nature. The current policy dividends are accelerating the transformation into tourism market vitality, and it is foreseeable that China's tourism market will continue to show an upward trend in the future."
"China's urban construction, transportation, and other infrastructure, as well as the degree of digitalization, have reached world-class levels, which makes 'just go' travel easy and convenient." Iacob Harsan, Marketing Manager of the Timisoara Tourism Bureau in Romania, said, "If you want to understand the world, you must go to China to see it. What also attracts European tourists to China is its strong human touch. China is both modern and retains simple and natural interpersonal interactions. Whether in cities or villages, as long as international tourists simply master Chinese, the locals will enthusiastically interact, and this sense of intimacy makes us feel like we are in our own country."
Ascanio, Chief Technology Officer of the Italian hotel group "Aries," said that he plans to travel to China for two weeks this summer, and Beijing (北京), Xi'an (西安), Chongqing (重庆), Hong Kong (香港) and Macau (澳门) have been listed as destinations. "I am very interested in the different cities and cultural customs of China. By gaining an in-depth understanding of the customs of various parts of China, I can also better grasp the interests and needs of Chinese tourists visiting Europe."
"'China tourism' is becoming more and more attractive, and exploring China is a very wonderful thing." Sarah Wilson, Senator for Culture and Social Cohesion in Berlin (柏林), Germany, who has visited China many times, said, "This China exhibition area showcases the characteristic tourism resources of many places, with many highlights, providing a platform for face-to-face exchanges in all aspects, and looks forward to further strengthening mutual understanding and enhancing the willingness to cooperate."
The "World Tourism Economy Trends Report (2026)" released during the period showed that the total number of global tourists in 2025 reached 15.9 billion, an increase of 6.6% year-on-year. Among them, the Chinese market plays an important leading role in the global tourism recovery process. Wu Meiqing (吴美清), Director of External Liaison Department of the World Tourism Cities Federation, predicts that the growth rate of China's total tourism revenue in 2026 will reach 8.5%, ranking second in the world. The latest "Global Travel Monitor" report released by the German IPK International Tourism Consulting Company at the meeting shows that China's tourism industry has officially shifted from the "recovery period" to the "strong growth period." The industry generally predicts that the growth rate of China's total tourism revenue in 2026 will be significantly higher than the global average. China will remain the world's second largest tourism economy and become a key engine for global tourism growth.
"As an important source country and destination, China plays a key role in the global tourism recovery process." Zheng Hao (郑浩), Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the World Tourism Alliance, emphasized that in 2025, the number of inbound and outbound trips in China reached 697 million, a record high, of which the number of inbound and outbound trips by foreigners increased by 26.4% year-on-year. The World Tourism Alliance is willing to rely on its own platform advantages to promote exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and European tourism institutions, promote resource sharing and integrated development, and jointly promote the stability and prosperity of the global tourism industry.

Fifteen years ago, the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan suffered a severe nuclear leak under the impact of a strong earthquake and tsunami, shocking the world. The Fukushima nuclear accident appeared to be a natural disaster, but it was actually a man-made disaster, exposing serious loopholes in Japan's nuclear regulatory system and a serious lack of nuclear safety culture, which brought heavy and profound lessons to Japan. The Fukushima nuclear accident interrupted the momentum of global nuclear energy development, severely hit the international community's confidence in nuclear safety, and forced many countries to re-examine nuclear energy development policies and plans, and had to spend more time and higher costs to re-embrace nuclear energy.
In the follow-up disposal process of the Fukushima nuclear accident, the Japanese government, despite the strong opposition of the international community, especially neighboring countries, insisted on discharging the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean, transferring the nuclear safety risks to foreign countries, which is an extremely irresponsible and morally reprehensible act. China firmly opposes the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea from Fukushima, promotes the establishment and continuous strengthening of an independent and effective long-term international monitoring system, and regularly sends Chinese experts to Fukushima for independent sampling and monitoring to ensure that Japan's discharge into the sea is under strict international supervision.
Discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea is only the disgraceful first step in Japan's long-term process of handling the Fukushima nuclear accident. Over the past 15 years, cases of credibility deficit, deception, and radioactive leakage by nuclear power companies such as Tokyo Electric Power Company (东京电力公司) in Japan have emerged one after another, which are shocking. Just recently, the Japanese nuclear industry has once again reported negative news. At the end of 2025, Japan's Chubu Electric Power Company (中部电力公司) admitted that there had been organized and systematic fraud for as long as 8 years in the restart application process of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant (滨冈核电站), until an internal report, Japan's nuclear safety regulatory authorities noticed. Even so, Japan still ignores the doubts and opposition from the domestic people and accelerates the nuclear power restart process for economic benefits, and the international community should pay close attention to this.
The Fukushima nuclear accident is a disaster that occurred in Japan, and it is Japan's responsibility to prevent the impact of the follow-up treatment of the nuclear accident on the global ecological environment. Japan must dare to face history, earnestly learn from the painful lessons, and, with a high degree of responsibility to its own people and the nuclear energy industry, effectively strengthen nuclear safety supervision at the national level, strengthen supervision and management of nuclear energy companies, continuously improve nuclear safety levels, eliminate safety hazards, and maintain high transparency, rather than covering up and trying to 大事化小、小事化了 (dà shì huà xiǎo, xiǎo shì huà liǎo - "turn big things into small things, turn small things into nothing," to minimize problems or downplay their significance).
The international community is highly concerned about Japan's nuclear safety issues. Strict supervision of the long-term process of follow-up treatment of the Fukushima nuclear accident is by no means a private matter for Japan. At present, nuclear energy revival has become an inevitable path for global green development and energy transition, ushering in important development opportunities. On the 15th anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear accident, the International Atomic Energy Agency (国际原子能机构) and its member states actively respond to the long-term challenges of the follow-up treatment of the Fukushima nuclear accident, which has special and important practical significance. The International Atomic Energy Agency should maintain a long-term review of all aspects of the Fukushima nuclear accident disposal, supervise Japan's response to complex challenges such as the decommissioning of the Fukushima nuclear power plant and the disposal of high-level waste in accordance with the highest standards, strictest requirements, and best practices of global nuclear safety, which will help enhance global nuclear safety confidence and help global nuclear energy revival.
The Chinese government attaches great importance to nuclear safety work, actively develops the nuclear energy industry on the premise of safety, and has built a nuclear safety governance system with legal norms, administrative supervision, industry self-discipline, technical support, talent support, cultural leadership, social participation, and international cooperation as the main body. China supports the International Atomic Energy Agency to play a core role, attaches great importance to nuclear safety policy exchanges and pragmatic cooperation between countries, actively expands the international cooperation platform for nuclear safety, and exchanges China's nuclear safety regulatory experience. China is willing to give play to its technical and management advantages and actively participate in the International Atomic Energy Agency's supervision of the follow-up treatment process of the Fukushima nuclear accident. Under the guidance of the important concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind and the four global initiatives, China will promote countries to adhere to a rational, coordinated, and progressive nuclear safety concept, continuously strengthen the awareness of ensuring public health and environmental safety, ensure the safe, healthy, and sustainable development of the nuclear energy industry with the people as the center, build a nuclear safety community with a shared future, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Return to TopThis newspaper reported from Beijing on March 11th (Reporter Li Anqi (李安琪)) Regarding the serious concerns of the United Nations human rights mechanisms about Japan's deprivation of "comfort women" victims' rights to seek truth, justice, and compensation, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jia Kun (郭嘉昆) stated at a regular press conference on the 11th that he urged Japan to properly handle historical issues such as the forced recruitment of "comfort women" with an honest and responsible attitude, and to win the trust of Asian neighbors and the international community with practical actions.
At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: According to reports, recently, 16 experts from the special mechanisms of the United Nations Human Rights Council issued a joint press release, expressing serious concern about Japan's deprivation of "comfort women" victims' rights to seek truth, justice, and compensation, calling on Japan to formally apologize, fully compensate, and protect relevant historical records in textbooks. What is China's comment on this?
Guo Jia Kun (郭嘉昆) stated that the forced recruitment of "comfort women" is a serious crime committed by Japanese militarism and a serious violation of the rights of relevant victims. The ironclad evidence is as solid as a mountain and cannot be denied. The United Nations human rights mechanisms have clearly spoken out on this matter, once again expressing their condemnation and indignation at the crimes of Japanese militarism, demonstrating the international community's determination to defend fairness and justice.
"We urge Japan to deeply reflect on its history of aggression, deeply reflect on the profound disasters its crimes have brought to the victims, earnestly listen to and implement the opinions and suggestions of the United Nations human rights experts, properly handle historical issues such as the forced recruitment of 'comfort women' with an honest and responsible attitude, and win the trust of Asian neighbors and the international community with practical actions," said Guo Jia Kun (郭嘉昆).
Return to Top"To solve the problem of food, we can't just focus on limited arable land; we need to broaden our thinking and establish a great food perspective." Firmly establishing a great food perspective places high demands on the theoretical construction and practical exploration of food education.
Since 2015, Jiangnan University (江南大学) has implemented the layout of food-related majors in conjunction with the construction of new engineering disciplines. Taking the School of Food Science and Technology of Jiangnan University (江南大学食品学院) as the carrier, it explores the "Great Food Perspective Leading, Deep Interdisciplinary Integration and Innovation" model for cultivating outstanding food talents. By constructing a three-chain collaborative mechanism of "professional chain - curriculum chain - practice chain," it strives to achieve a shift in the focus of talent cultivation from technical talents to leading talents.
Interdisciplinary integration makes professional layout "alive."
Breaking down disciplinary barriers, reshaping the professional ecology, and promoting deep interdisciplinary integration of food disciplines with multiple disciplines are the "first moves" made by Jiangnan University (江南大学).
The university adheres to systematic thinking and has constructed a "food-life-medicine-intelligence" interdisciplinary professional chain. With the concepts of "food-life synergy," "food-medicine synergy," and "food-intelligence synergy," it has newly established the Food Nutrition and Health major and jointly established the "Food AI Excellent Innovation Class" with iFlytek (科大讯飞), Huawei (华为) and other enterprises, committed to realizing personalized teaching of "food + X major."
Deeply cultivate interdisciplinary layout and build an academic community. Jiangnan University's (江南大学) "Probiotics and Nutritional Health" team was selected into the third batch of "National University Huang Danian-style Teacher Teams," and the "Food Carbohydrates and Deep Processing of Grain" team was shortlisted for the fourth batch of "National University Huang Danian-style Teacher Teams." With the support of the academic community, interdisciplinary integration has released tremendous momentum. In 2023, the university's ESI ranking in agricultural science improved, entering the top 1/10,000, of which the food discipline contributed 86%, and the food science and engineering discipline has consistently ranked first in the ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects for many years.
Curriculum integration makes the connotation of education "rich."
Jiangnan University (江南大学) carefully constructs a "value-knowledge-ability" characteristic module curriculum chain, taking ideological and political education as the guide to enrich the connotation of education.
To cultivate talents, we must first cultivate their hearts and set the direction for their souls. The university adheres to the value orientation of "seeking benefits for farmers and creating benefits for food consumers," and has compiled the "Ideological and Political Case Guide for Food Science and Engineering Courses" covering 32 courses, and is dedicated to creating the "Food Power Dream" major ideological and political characteristic course.
In terms of knowledge integration, the university closely follows the digital wave, establishes the FoodSeek disciplinary education large model, and integrates artificial intelligence into classroom teaching and experimental sessions. The university jointly builds three major modules of "food-life, food-medicine, and food-intelligence" with 48 new engineering interdisciplinary courses across colleges, and comprehensively arranges 84 cutting-edge interdisciplinary and practical courses, using a highly integrated three-dimensional curriculum system to guide young students to firmly establish a great food perspective.
Practice empowers, making the confidence of innovation "sufficient."
Jiangnan University (江南大学) connects the industry-university-research-application chain and systematically constructs a "scientific innovation-industry education-society" integrated innovation practice chain to give young students the confidence to dare to venture and try.
The university constructs a "three-high support" scientific innovation training network, relying on national-level scientific research platforms, forming 44 teaching and research teams, and implementing a gradient progressive training mechanism of "scientific research start-up - project-based micro-scientific research - unveiling the list to take command." The university jointly established innovation consortia with leading industry enterprises such as China Resources Group (华润集团) and COFCO Group (中粮集团), completed 28 physical collaborative innovation laboratories, and laid out 243 enterprise practice base groups, opening up the entire chain from knowledge learning to practical application for students. At the same time, the university expands social classrooms, with more than 2,000 students relying on social practice activities such as the "National Healthy Village Food Science and Technology Tour" to go deep into 71 cities (counties, districts) in 27 provinces, strengthening their professional sense of mission in serving the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.
The practice of integrating knowledge and action has achieved remarkable results. From 2021 to 2025, students majoring in food at the university won 8 gold and 14 silver medals in national competitions such as the China International College Students' Innovation Competition and the "Challenge Cup" China College Students' Entrepreneurship Plan Competition, and more than 200 provincial and above awards (more than 1,500 people), with the highest number of awards ranking among the top food departments in national universities.
Facing the future, making the education model "new."
With the full implementation of the "Great Food Perspective Leading, Deep Interdisciplinary Integration and Innovation" teaching reform, Jiangnan University (江南大学) has delivered a bright answer sheet: a total of 4 national-level first-class undergraduate major construction sites and 7 national-level first-class undergraduate courses have been approved, as well as 17 textbooks for the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' "14th Five-Year Plan," Jiangsu Province's key textbooks, and Jiangsu Province's "14th Five-Year Plan" textbooks.
**一枝独秀不是春，百花齐放春满园** (yī zhī dú xiù bù shì chūn, bǎi huā qí fàng chūn mǎn yuán - "one branch blooming alone is not spring, a hundred flowers blooming together make spring full of the garden," one success is not enough, widespread success is needed for true prosperity). The "Great Food Perspective, Casting the Soul of the New Era" education community and the "Belt and Road" University Food Education Science and Technology Alliance initiated by Jiangnan University (江南大学) have promoted the distinctive talent cultivation model to more than 150 universities and departments in 27 countries and regions.
Education prospers, then the country prospers. Facing the future, Jiangnan University (江南大学) will continue to establish and practice the great food perspective, focus on cultivating leading talents in the food industry with a global vision, and continue to provide solid talent support for ensuring national food security.

Return to TopDuring the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) closely followed national financial policies and Jiangxi Province's (江西省) local development strategies, integrating the red gene of the Ganpo (赣鄱) region into its financial bloodstream. It steadily advanced in serving the real economy, deepening financial reforms, and practicing finance for the people. It has always adhered to the development positioning of "serving urban and rural residents, serving small and medium-sized enterprises, and serving the local economy." Taking the "five major articles" of finance as its starting point, it precisely channeled financial resources into key areas and crucial links of economic and social development, injecting strong impetus into the high-quality development of Jiangxi's economy and society, and delivered a remarkable report card.
Doing a Good Job in Technology Finance: Activating the Engine of Technological Innovation
Focusing on the virtuous cycle of "technology-industry-finance," Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) has built a technology finance service system covering the entire life cycle of enterprises. In response to the financing needs of technology companies at different stages of development, it has innovatively launched diversified products such as "Technology Credit Loan," "Technology Mortgage Loan," "Chain e-Loan," "Digital Transformation Loan," and "Gan Ke Xin Yi Loan" to provide diversified support for high-tech enterprises, strategic emerging industries, and specialized and innovative enterprises.
In terms of service models, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) has built a three-level service mechanism at the headquarters, branch, and sub-branch levels, and established industry research teams and dedicated teams for key industrial chains to increase credit support for key industrial chain clusters such as electronic information, low-altitude economy, non-ferrous metals, equipment manufacturing, new energy, and new materials, as well as various types of science and technology innovation enterprises.

Doing a Good Job in Green Finance: Creating a Green Product Matrix
Anchored to the "dual carbon" goal, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) has promoted the leapfrog development of green finance with a forward-looking layout, advancing from a green finance "explorer" to a "regional benchmark" enterprise.
At the beginning of 2024, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) incorporated green finance into the bank's overall development plan and formulated the "Jiangxi Bank Green Sustainable Development 'New Journey' Strategic Plan," clarifying that developing green finance and achieving the "dual carbon" goal are important strategic directions and development engines, and systematically planning the development path.
By building a "turning green into gold" product system, it continues to accelerate green innovation. The "Green Transformation Loan" won the first prize for green financial products in the 2025 Jiangxi Province (江西省) "Tiangong Cup" Financial System Vocational Skills Competition. The green finance field has achieved several "firsts": the nation's first forestry-bank collaborative service, realizing fully digital processing of forestry loans; the listing of Jiangxi's (江西) first corporate city commercial bank "carbon neutral" sub-branch; the landing of Jiangxi Province's (江西省) first carbon emission reduction support tool loan and first manufacturing sustainable development-linked loan; and the issuance of the province's first recognized agricultural transformation loan and first chemical transformation loan.
As of the end of December 2025, the bank's outstanding green loans amounted to 47.054 billion yuan, an increase of 7.607 billion yuan over the end of the previous year, an increase of 19.28%, with a compound growth rate of over 27% in the past three years.
Doing a Good Job in Inclusive Finance: Weaving a Dense Network of Livelihood Security
With the goal of "deepening and solidifying inclusive finance and helping to achieve common prosperity," Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) carried out the "Thousands of Enterprises and Households Visit" and "Second Visit" campaigns throughout the bank. Through the "393" work model of "three efforts to implement, nine commitments to optimize services, and three guarantees to strengthen support," it implemented a coordination mechanism to support the financing of small and micro enterprises. At the same time, it launched innovative products such as "Digital Transformation Loan" and "Gan Ke Xin Yi Loan," forming a matrix of more than 100 "online + offline" and "general + characteristic" inclusive financial products. The "Agricultural Insurance Loan" and "Government Procurement Easy Loan" products won the Innovation Achievement and Excellent Case Award of the 6th China Digital Inclusive Finance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
In the field of serving the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) launched "1+3+N" service measures, building a county channel network of "county sub-branches + small and micro specialized institutions + inclusive financial service stations." The 236 inclusive financial service stations have achieved full coverage of cities and counties throughout the province. Focusing on agricultural characteristic industries such as navel oranges, traditional Chinese medicine, and tea, it has innovatively launched more than 30 credit products such as "Agricultural Insurance Loan," "Orange Intention Loan," and "Zhangshu Pharmaceutical Loan," with credit exceeding 300 million yuan, and won the "Excellent Grade" in the 2024 Jiangxi Province (江西省) Rural Revitalization Assessment.
As of the end of December 2025, the bank's outstanding inclusive loans amounted to 56.658 billion yuan. In the past three years, it has paid nearly 70 million yuan in settlement discounts and exemptions for more than 50,000 small and micro enterprises and individual businesses, handled non-principal renewal loans of more than 28 billion yuan for 1,123 small and micro enterprises, and saved nearly 600 million yuan in financing costs for small and micro enterprises.
Doing a Good Job in Pension Finance: Helping the Development of the Silver Economy
Focusing on the development needs of the silver economy, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) promotes the quality and upgrading of pension finance from two major directions: credit support and service optimization.
On the credit side, it has increased investment in the pension industry. As of the end of December 2025, Jiangxi Bank's (江西银行) outstanding pension loans amounted to 643 million yuan, an increase of 369 million yuan over the end of the previous year, an increase of 134.67%, providing financial guarantees for the construction of elderly care institutions and the renovation of age-appropriate facilities.
On the service side, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jiangxi Open University (江西开放大学), completed the unveiling of Jiangxi Bank's (江西银行) first community "Silver Age e-Station," and deepened the construction of the "Jiangyin Loving the Elderly" system. As of the end of 2025, it has completed the construction of 471 "Jiangyin Loving the Elderly" community activity centers, achieving full coverage of counties and districts in the province. The "Jiangyin Loving the Elderly" membership has reached 80,900, an increase of 25,900 compared to the end of 2024. At the same time, it incorporates age-appropriate services into the star rating standards of outlets, creates "age-appropriate demonstration outlets," sets up "Jiangyin Loving the Elderly" special areas, equips them with convenient facilities such as wheelchairs and mobile filling tables, provides remote sign language services for people with hearing impairments, and provides door-to-door services for the elderly with mobility difficulties. In the past three years, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) has provided more than 2,000 door-to-door services, effectively enhancing the sense of gain and happiness of the elderly group with "warm finance."
Doing a Good Job in Digital Finance: Digital Empowerment Service Upgrade
Driven by digital transformation, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) has compiled the "Digital Transformation Plan Report (2024-2026)," established the "432N" digital transformation strategy, clarified a list of 43 transformation projects, covering key areas such as technology investment, system construction, and talent training, and promoted the transformation from "planning" to "implementation."
It has launched five major digital product lines: the "e" series for payment and settlement, the "i" series for industrial platforms, the "housekeeper" series for enterprise services, the "smart" series for scenario customization, and the "cloud chain" series for supply chain finance. As of the end of December 2025, it has cumulatively implemented 187 digital scenario projects such as smart payment, smart canteens, and smart commercial management; relying on the "Jiangyin i-Agriculture" platform to build a digital service scenario for grain trade enterprises, attracting 481 enterprises and 16,000 individual customers to settle in, with outstanding loans to enterprises and users of 1.720 billion yuan; and launched the "Cloud Enterprise Chain," "Cloud Warehouse Chain," "Cloud Business Chain," and "Cloud Single Chain" and other "cloud chain" series products, with the balance of supply chain finance steadily increasing.
In addition, Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) released Jiangxi Province's (江西省) first HarmonyOS mobile banking APP, put into operation a new generation of credit system group, a public smart marketing platform, and a unified risk control decision platform, reshaping service processes with technological innovation to make financial services more intelligent, convenient, and closer to customer needs.
Entering the "15th Five-Year Plan," Jiangxi Bank (江西银行) will take doing a good job in the "five major articles" of finance as the main starting point, continue to improve the quality and efficiency of financial services for local development, inject a continuous stream of financial resources into Jiangxi's (江西) economic and social development, and show greater responsibility and make greater contributions in striving to write a new chapter of Chinese-style modernization in Jiangxi (江西).

Return to TopBy: 本报记者 易舒冉 裴苒迪 王欣悦
Currently, the number of people aged 60 and above in China has exceeded 320 million, and the number of elderly people with disabilities or partial disabilities has reached 44 million. The increasing demand for elderly care is not only a major livelihood issue of concern to the whole society, but also provides more career choices for young people. Some of them work as caregivers in nursing homes, taking care of elderly people with disabilities; some focus on the dining tables of the elderly, focusing on matching nutritious meals for them; and others are rooted in the community, solving the urgent needs and concerns of the elderly in their daily lives.
What kind of heartwarming sparks will be created when the power of youth meets the twilight years? How will these young people use their sincerity and actions to make the elderly live with more warmth and dignity? Recently, reporters went into the front lines of the youth groups engaged in elderly care services to listen to their stories.
It is companionship, but also a two-way commitment.
At 6:10 in the morning, the Le Lao Hui Elderly Care Service Center (乐老汇养老服务中心) in Building 18, Sanli Community, Longxingyuan, Panggezhuang Town, Daxing District, Beijing (北京市大兴区庞各庄镇隆兴园三里小区), lights up with warm light.
Wang Xiwei (汪熹微), a 30-year-old nursing home caregiver, is neatly dressed and walks gently down the silent corridor. She pauses for a moment in front of room 207, gently pushes open the door, and her masked face is outlined by the light in the room, creating a soft contour. "Grandma Lu (卢奶奶), did you sleep well?" Wang Xiwei (汪熹微) asks, bending over. The old woman lies in bed and says with a smile, "Yes, you're here?"
On the other side of the city, in the corridors of the Guangda Huichen Chaolai Elderly Apartment (光大汇晨朝来老年公寓) in Chaoyang District, Beijing (北京市朝阳区), Cai Meng (蔡萌), a post-00s nursing director, is enthusiastically greeting every grandpa and grandma who passes by. In four years of work, Cai Meng (蔡萌) has been promoted two levels in a row: in 2023, she was promoted from a front-line caregiver to a nursing supervisor, managing one building and 70 elderly people; in 2025, she was promoted to nursing director, managing three buildings and 200 elderly people.
As the nursing director, Cai Meng's (蔡萌) daily schedule is packed: inspecting each building during the day, coordinating various affairs, and taking turns with colleagues to work the night shift. "Having the phone on 24 hours a day is standard. I basically never mute it, and I turn the ringer to the maximum on my days off, for fear of missing an emergency call. As long as I'm in the facility, I'm on call whenever the elderly need me," says Cai Meng (蔡萌).
Under the wave of population aging, the demand for personnel in China's elderly care service industry continues to rise, and more and more people born in the 90s and 00s are joining the elderly care service industry.
In the Dezhou Elderly Care Demonstration City (德州养老示范城) in Shandong (山东) (hereinafter referred to as "Elderly Care Demonstration City"), Yang Junzhe (杨俊哲), 34, is a nutritionist here, and his main responsibility is to reasonably match the diet for the elderly.
At lunchtime, Yang Junzhe (杨俊哲) comes to the restaurant of the Elderly Care Demonstration City (养老示范城), bends down, and asks the elderly in a gentle tone: "Do you like today's dishes? Is the portion enough?" The elderly people talk to him with smiles. "The minced meat tofu is delicious, soft and tasty", "The kelp knots taste good, but they are a bit hard", "It is recommended not to put sugar in scrambled eggs with tomatoes"... Yang Junzhe (杨俊哲) finds out the elderly people's taste changes, dietary preferences and subtle needs, and then communicates with the chefs in the back kitchen to make adjustments. "Elderly meals should not be synonymous with bland and soft, but rather a precise match, a healthy protection that combines nutrition and deliciousness," says Yang Junzhe (杨俊哲).
Why choose the elderly care industry? In the interview, the answers of several young people were different, but the choices were equally firm. Cai Meng (蔡萌) initially chose the elderly care major because "few people choose it, and it is easy to find a job". After working in it for a long time, she integrated her personal career plan into the national development blueprint of "providing for the elderly"; Wang Xiwei (汪熹微) discovered a new career direction because of taking care of her injured grandfather, and became the "little cotton-padded jacket" that the elderly are willing to rely on in their daily interactions; Yang Junzhe (杨俊哲) found in his daily observations that dietary arrangements are a realistic life pain point faced by many elderly people. He based himself on his professional knowledge and took the initiative to inject a beautiful taste into the "sunset years".
"We rely on each other with the elderly, a two-way commitment." Talking about the meaning of the profession, Wang Xiwei (汪熹微) said, "We help the elderly take care of their daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and accompany them to enjoy their old age; the elderly watch us grow up and let us understand the weight and preciousness of life."
Need responsibility, but also love and patience.
During an interview at a nursing home, an old man's words impressed the reporter: "Taking care of us old people, perfunctory treatment is one day, and attentive and affectionate treatment is also one day. I originally thought that these young people were still children who had not grown up, but I didn't expect them to have love, patience, and even more responsibility, and they take care of us very well." The elderly care cause is not only about daily care, but also requires young people to have sincerity and responsibility, integrate meticulous warmth into their daily lives, and carefully protect the happy old age of the elderly.
Once, Yang Junzhe (杨俊哲) found an old man in the restaurant with a poor appetite and a bad complexion. After asking, he learned that the old man was staying in the Elderly Care Demonstration City (养老示范城) for the first time. He missed his children very much and felt that the dishes in the nursing home were too bland and he didn't like to eat them. After the meal, Yang Junzhe (杨俊哲) came to the old man's room, patiently asked the old man about his favorite home-cooked dishes and how to make them, carefully explained the reason why people with high blood pressure should eat a light diet, and promptly communicated with the back kitchen to customize meals according to the old man's familiar taste and method, so that the old man could eat smoothly first.
"Many elderly people take the initiative to move into nursing homes in order not to burden their children, but they still care about their families in their hearts. Sometimes, a familiar taste can soothe their emotions and help them adapt to their new life," says Yang Junzhe (杨俊哲).
Currently, China's elderly care presents a "9073" pattern, with about 90% of the elderly living at home. Providing high-quality elderly care services for these elderly people is an even more meticulous job.
"Grandpa Wang (王爷爷), you are 80 years old this year and you are eligible to receive the high-age allowance in our Banan District (巴南区)." On the morning of January 13, Tang Ni (唐妮), a staff member of the Xiliutuo Community (西流沱社区) of the Lijiatuo Street (李家沱街道) in Banan District, Chongqing (重庆市巴南区), walked into the home of resident Wang Xuesheng (王学生) and patiently explained the policy to the old man.
Since taking over the community elderly care service work in January 2021, Tang Ni (唐妮) has visited more than 400 elderly households in the area. "The issuance of high-age allowances and other work is directly related to the vital interests of the elderly. There must be no mistakes, omissions, or delays." To this end, she launched a "carpet-style" investigation. She made phone calls during the day and visited homes at night. For the elderly who were bedridden and unable to move, she went directly to their homes and patiently helped them fill in information and prepare materials.
Tang Ni (唐妮) opened the work ledger, and the files of more than 400 elderly people were clearly presented - from the basic information of each elderly person, the emergency contact information, to the graphic details of the most recent visit and the next follow-up reminder, the records were clear, timely and reliable, ensuring that the current information of each elderly person was "knowable at the time and available at the moment". "I hope that more young people will join the elderly care team in the future and work together to create a happy old age for the elderly," says Tang Ni (唐妮).
When memories slowly fade and cognition gradually becomes blurred, Alzheimer's disease not only changes the lives of the elderly, but also makes the road to care particularly difficult.
"Grandpa, let's finish this bowl of rice and go to school. You can only have the strength to lecture if you are full!" At the Le Lao Hui Elderly Care Service Center (乐老汇养老服务中心), Li Huimin (李慧敏), a post-90s caregiver, squats next to the wheelchair and coaxes Grandpa Zhang (张爷爷) in a low voice. Grandpa Zhang (张爷爷) was a university teacher before retirement. After suffering from Alzheimer's disease, he often refused to eat, which made the caregivers very headache. Li Huimin (李慧敏) found out the old man's professional memory and guided him along his train of thought every time she fed him, and specially prepared a blank notebook, "Look, the materials are all ready for you." The old man will obediently open his mouth and cooperate to swallow the food.
Li Huimin (李慧敏) also remembers the helplessness when she first entered the industry. In the simulated scenes in the school, the "elderly" always listened and cooperated, but in reality, dealing with the resistance of demented elderly people and the fragility of bedridden elderly people requires slow exploration in practice. "Taking care of elderly people with Alzheimer's disease, patience is the first priority. When you encounter urgent things, you also need to be patient and stabilize your emotions." Li Huimin (李慧敏) said that what moved her was that she once took care of a 60-year-old man with Alzheimer's disease. The old man would stand in front of the glass door of the elderly care service center every day and watch Li Huimin (李慧敏) get off work. Even if he couldn't remember the names of other people, he could accurately call out "Huimin (慧敏)".
There is pressure, but also growth and harvest.
When the vigor of youth collides with the responsibility of the elderly care cause, this encounter contains not only the enthusiasm and expectations in the heart, but also the confusion and some pressure of young people.
Wang Xiwei (汪熹微) still remembers that when she first joined the elderly care service center, when she had gatherings with her university classmates, she always spoke vaguely when asked about her work. "Caregiver? Isn't that just serving people?" A casual sentence from a classmate was like a small thorn in her heart. Later, Wang Xiwei (汪熹微) took the initiative to break the prejudice of the people around her against elderly care work. She would show her relatives and friends photos of herself interacting with the elderly, share her sense of accomplishment at work, and say with a smile, "You can ask me anytime if you encounter problems in taking care of the elderly in the future."
"Although there are still unsatisfactory aspects in terms of salary, social recognition, and labor intensity for young people engaged in elderly care services, from a long-term perspective, the elderly care industry has very broad development prospects. It is an important industry related to people's livelihood and can provide young people with a lot of growth and development opportunities," said Han Xiaoting (韩晓婷), associate professor of the Elderly Welfare College of Minzheng Vocational University (Beijing) (民政职业大学（北京）). "On the premise of mastering basic care skills, young people can take the initiative to expand their knowledge, actively learn about elderly financial planning, elderly mental health counseling, artificial intelligence technology and other related knowledge, and strive to grow into compound talents and continuously improve their irreplaceability."
In the view of Wu Yushao (吴玉韶), vice president of the Fudan University Institute of Aging (复旦大学老龄研究院) and president of the China Social Welfare and Elderly Service Association (中国社会福利与养老服务协会), the elderly care industry can enable young people to gain a strong sense of professional value and belonging in the process of guarding warmth and conveying kindness, which is also one of the reasons why the elderly care industry attracts young people. "After working in the elderly care industry for a long time, the elderly who are familiar with each other will trust you and don't want to leave you from the bottom of their hearts. On the other hand, some 'people-to-things' occupations are difficult to produce emotional connections and real emotional nourishment. Most of the positions in the elderly care industry are 'people-to-people' companionship, and they face groups that need care. The sense of value identity brought by this work is irreplaceable by many occupations," said Wu Yushao (吴玉韶).
The introduction of policies is building a broader stage for young people who are engaged in the elderly care cause, making them feel that they have something to do and something to look forward to. In 2025, the Ministry of Civil Affairs (民政部) and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (人力资源社会保障部) jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of a High-Skilled Talent Team in the Civil Affairs Sector in the New Era", which clarified specific measures to improve the talent training system, improve the talent use system, unblock the talent evaluation channel, and improve the talent incentive mechanism. This is the first high-skilled talent document in the civil affairs field jointly issued by the two departments.
Li Huimin (李慧敏) remembers that she had just finished a day's work that day, and when she swiped her phone casually, she saw this policy news. "This policy has given young people who choose elderly care majors a reassurance, and there is a clear direction for career development", "Finally, I don't have to worry about having no future or guarantee in this industry anymore"... Looking at the comments under the news, Li Huimin (李慧敏) deeply agreed. After chatting with her classmates on WeChat for a few words, Li Huimin (李慧敏) said: "In the past, I would worry about the limited career development space in the elderly care cause. Now, with the support of policies, I feel particularly at ease. If I work hard, I will definitely be able to excel."

"Using youth to safeguard the tranquility of time," "Making elderly care more dignified and warm"... These are the most frequently heard sentiments when interviewing young people dedicated to the elderly care industry. This group of young people, mutually committed to the elderly care cause, hone their professional skills through practice, innovate service models through exploration, and gain warmth and growth in their daily interactions with the elderly. They seize the opportunities of the times, break down prejudices with action, and prove that the power of youth can write a brilliant answer in actively responding to the aging population.
We look forward to more young people with ideals, compassion, and skills taking the initiative to devote themselves to this field full of warmth and hope, striving to become composite talents who understand care, are good at companionship, and are proficient in technology, so that elderly care services are more textured and warmer.

The suitcase is filled with family's concerns. Standing on the train platform, taking one last look at the sky of my hometown, it feels so familiar and vast.
During the winter vacation, many young students saw a different hometown: "The development momentum of the hometown industry impressed me deeply," "Returning home for practice, stepping out of the campus comfort zone, I understood the responsibility of grassroots work," "This land where I was born and raised continues to support my growth with a broad platform"... In the "College Students Look at Hometown," "College Students Hometown Trip," "Return to Hometown Social Practice" and other activities carried out in various places, young people who left home to study returned to their hometowns with knowledge and feelings, integrating personal growth into the development of their hometowns in practice.
Returning to hometown, what can you see?
To love your hometown, you must first understand it. Mountains, rivers, grass, trees, streets, and alleys, each fresh change contains the password of development and the pulse of the times. Only by knowing the hometown very well can you love it more deeply.
In the stage of studying before leaving home, some students often pay more attention to books and ignore the scenery around them, and are not familiar with their hometown; in the days of working hard outside, the homeland is also changing with each passing day. The streets of hometown are looking forward to the re-measurement of youthful footsteps.
During the winter vacation, college student volunteers returning to their hometown in Daoli District (道里区), Harbin (哈尔滨), Heilongjiang (黑龙江) led tourists to stroll through the Zhonghua Baroque Historical and Cultural Block (中华巴洛克历史文化街区), and gained a deeper understanding of the business changes in the old block in the explanation; in Jiangsu (江苏), participating in the "Yangzhou (扬州) Students Look at Hometown" activity, listening to lectures, visiting enterprises, and visiting talent communities, some students exclaimed that the talent policy in their hometown is so powerful, which further strengthened their willingness to return to their hometown for development. Immersively feel the changes in their hometown, and experientially perceive the environment of knowing, loving, and using talents. In the process of walking, many college students rediscovered their hometown.
See opportunities, and also see the needs and expectations of hometown. Young people who are working hard outside will find it not difficult to find regional development differences when they return to their hometown. Practicing in person can not only hone practical skills, but also contribute to the hometown.
This winter vacation, more than 2,000 teachers and students from the Central University of Finance and Economics (中央财经大学) participated in the "Return to Hometown" social practice, shooting publicity videos for red venues, and sorting out the path of branding and upgrading for local agricultural products; seeing the needs of the schools they support, students from Yunnan Normal University (云南师范大学) introduced cutting-edge AI technology to middle school students and told the story of the Southwest Associated University (西南联大); seeing the relative lack of grassroots medical resources, Sichuan Nursing Vocational College (四川护理职业学院) carried out the "Holiday Health Science Popularization into Thousands of Homes" college student social practice, bringing health knowledge to thousands of households... In action, young people use what they have learned to give back to their hometown, and write their papers on the land of their hometown.
See hometown, and also see yourself. What hometown brings us is not only the difficult-to-change taste and accent, but also the coordinate system in the course of life. Returning to hometown, you can see more clearly where you came from and where you are going—chatting with old classmates and recalling childhood dreams; going out for a walk and seeing the new scenery of hometown, with youthful hot land under your feet; comparing the development opportunities and needs of the industry, the future learning and employment direction will be clearer.
Recently, many places have held special recruitment fairs for college students returning to their hometown, and many young people have chosen to "run in both directions" with their hometown, throwing themselves into the front line of the grassroots and starting a new chapter on the familiar fertile soil. For more young people, in the new year, they will pack their bags again and rush to faraway places. Perhaps what we can do for our hometown today is still very limited, but what we see and hear when we return to our hometown is like a seed, which will blossom and bear fruit in the future. Don't forget where you came from, traveling far is for a better encounter.
The train departs, and the road ahead is a new journey. Take another look at hometown, and when we see you next time, we will definitely have more skills, be more mature, and have more strength. Those who love us deeply are waiting for us to return.

Taking her cane and backpack, Zhou Tong (周彤), a visually impaired girl born in the 1990s, walks out of her home. After a nine-stop bus ride and a ten-minute walk, Zhou Tong (周彤) taps her cane and expertly turns into an office building on the South Fifth Ring Road in Beijing (北京).
Inside the office building, Zhou Tong (周彤) sits in front of a computer wearing headphones, her fingertips flying across the keyboard. In her ears, the sound of screen-reading software flows rapidly with the rise and fall of her fingertips. She listens intently, following the prompts to complete document editing and layout in an orderly manner.
"Life is not something to wait for; you have to use courage and hard work to make your life the way you want it to be." Zhou Tong (周彤) loves to smile, and her tone is full of certainty.
At the age of seven, Zhou Tong (周彤) was diagnosed with congenital fundus dysplasia; now, Zhou Tong's (周彤) eyes have only a faint sense of light. She has a strong and indomitable personality. When told that "long hair is difficult to manage," Zhou Tong (周彤) insisted on keeping her hair long and taught herself how to manage various hairstyles; when reminded that "high heels are inconvenient," she began to experiment and found a height and shoe type that suited her; when it was asserted that "makeup would turn into a clown face," she mastered makeup skills with the guidance of friends and repeated practice.
Today, Zhou Tong (周彤) works as a brand operator at Beijing XinZhi Interactive Technology Co., Ltd. (北京心智互动科技有限公司). "Our company focuses on developing mobile games and other Internet products for the visually impaired, allowing visually impaired people to interact seamlessly with sighted players in the same game through voice prompts, vibration feedback, and accessible UI design," Zhou Tong (周彤) said. What makes her most proud is that she not only makes a living with her skills but also empowers more visually impaired people, allowing them to enjoy e-sports and social interaction like sighted people.
At the end of last year, Zhou Tong (周彤) began to come into contact with "AI programming," and her desire to explore surged again. She decided to make a mini-program that would be convenient for the visually impaired to use—recording food information and expiration dates when shopping, with the system automatically archiving and categorizing the information, and automatically reminding users when the expiration date is approaching, solving the pain point of not being able to check food information at home at any time. After a bold attempt, a WeChat mini-program called "Good Find" (好觅) appeared on Zhou Tong's (周彤) mobile phone. "In my spare time, I often use my mobile phone to polish and improve the mini-program, hoping to share it with my friends around me as soon as possible," Zhou Tong (周彤) said.
Curiosity combined with resilience in her bones has allowed Zhou Tong (周彤) to step out of the darkness and onto a bright path. Zhou Tong's (周彤) daily life is gradually becoming similar to that of able-bodied people. In addition to work, she likes to watch variety shows, dramas, and play games, and occasionally goes shopping, enjoys food, and listens to concerts with friends, living a fulfilling life. Last year, Zhou Tong (周彤) joined the "Voice of Life" (生命之声) special lecture group of the Daxing District Disabled Persons' Federation (大兴区残联) in Beijing (北京), and went to universities in the capital to tell her story of studying and finding a job, inspiring many young students to strive for a happy life.
People always ask Zhou Tong (周彤): "Do you encounter many difficulties in life and work?" She said: "Everyone will encounter various difficulties in their lives. The difficulties encountered by people with disabilities may be different from those encountered by able-bodied people, but this is not a reason to back down. If your eyes can't see, you must let your heart move towards the light."

The thousand-acre tea mountains in Suyuan Village (苏源村), Zhangdun Town (漳墩镇), Jianyang District (建阳区), Nanping City (南平市), Fujian (福建) Province, awaken in the morning light. Science and Technology Commissioner Liu Mengying (刘梦莹), as usual, arrives early at the Xiaobai tea (小白茶) breeding experimental field. Unlike in the past, her mobile phone contains a newly downloaded regulation – "Nanping City Regulations on Promoting the Work of Science and Technology Commissioners."
"Xiao Wang (小王), look at Article 18," Liu Mengying (刘梦莹) hands her phone to Wang Zhongwen (王忠文), the head of the cooperative, "'Support should be provided for science and technology commissioners to carry out innovation and entrepreneurship activities through project subsidies, purchase of insurance, and building platforms,' with various supports, we have more confidence in the research and development of new tea varieties!"
This regulation, which came into effect on January 1, 2026, carries the weight of 27 years of practice. It is China's first local regulation specifically formulated for the work of science and technology commissioners, marking that this institutional innovation, which originated in Nanping (南平) and has been promoted nationwide, has completed the transition from "policy promotion" to "rule of law guarantee."
The Need for the Rule of Law Arising from 27 Years of Practice
In the office of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the Nanping Municipal People's Congress (南平市人大常委会), Director Cai Xuefeng (蔡学锋) opens a stack of thick legislative materials. On top is a 2024 research notebook, densely filled with the real voices of science and technology commissioners:
"If I bring new technology to the countryside and it succeeds, who gets the credit?"
"If I stay in the village for two or three years, what happens to my original unit's professional title evaluation?"
"If the planting fails, am I responsible?"
These simple but sharp questions became the starting point for legislation.
The clock turns back to 1999. Facing the development dilemma of "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers," Nanping City (南平市) selected the first batch of 225 scientific and technological personnel to go to the countryside, pioneering the "Science and Technology Commissioner" system. Over the years, a total of more than 23,000 scientific and technological personnel have left their footprints in the mountain villages of northern Fujian (闽北), promoting 18,200 new varieties and technologies, creating economic benefits of more than 20 billion yuan. This "Nanping (南平) original" system, due to its strong vitality, has been written into the Central No. 1 Document (中央一号文件) many times and has spread throughout the country.
With the deepening of practice, deep-seated contradictions have gradually emerged. "Our research found that the problems encountered in the continuous development of the science and technology commissioner system urgently need to be solved," said Cai Xuefeng (蔡学锋). The ambiguity of the ownership of technological achievements, the lack of a service risk-bearing mechanism, and the insufficient guarantee of long-term incentives... These problems are difficult to solve systematically by relying solely on policy documents and administrative promotion.
Hu Yulang (胡玉浪), a law professor at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University (福建农林大学), participated in the entire legislative process. He said: "Any mature system that needs to be adhered to for a long time must eventually move towards the rule of law. The core of Nanping's (南平) legislative practice is to transform the practices that have been proven effective over the years into legal rules with universal binding force and stable expectations through legal procedures."
In October 2024, 25 years after the implementation of the science and technology commissioner system, a symposium on the theoretical and practical innovation and development of the science and technology commissioner system in the new era was held in Nanping (南平). At the meeting, some experts suggested that legislation should be carried out to promote the work of science and technology commissioners. Pan Jiancai (潘剑才), Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the Nanping Municipal People's Congress (南平市人大常委会), believes: "The science and technology commissioner system is an important rural work mechanism innovation personally advocated and promoted by Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) during his work in Fujian (福建). As the birthplace of this system, Nanping (南平) has implemented it in accordance with the established direction for more than 20 years, exploring a batch of replicable and scalable 'Nanping (南平) experience'. Now is the right time to carry out local legislation to promote the work of science and technology commissioners." One month later, the Standing Committee of the Nanping Municipal People's Congress (南平市人大常委会) officially included the "Nanping City Regulations on Promoting the Work of Science and Technology Commissioners" in the annual legislative plan.
In the next 12 months, the drafting team went to 10 counties (cities, districts), held seminars and demonstrations, visited science and technology commissioners, farmers, and enterprise representatives, and collected more than 260 modification opinions.
Opening the record of the solicitation of opinions seminar held in Shaowu City (邵武市) on August 11, 2025, "increasing financial security" was the focus of the seminar. "At that time, several science and technology commissioners proposed that special working funds should be established and personal accident insurance should be purchased for science and technology commissioners," Cai Xuefeng (蔡学锋) recalled. Finally, the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the Nanping Municipal People's Congress (南平市人大常委会) adopted the above opinions and wrote them into the regulations.
"Many science and technology commissioners said that what they need is not only recognition, but also a clear 'legal identity'," said Pan Jiancai (潘剑才). "This 'identity' is the legal confirmation of their intellectual contribution, and it is also the cornerstone for them to be able to settle in the countryside more safely and for a longer time."
Legal Answers Facing the Problems Directly
The formulation of the regulations has always adhered to the problem-oriented approach, and has given clear legal answers to the three major problems that have long existed in the practice of the science and technology commissioner system.
How to reflect the value of technology? For a long time, the intellectual contribution of scientific and technological personnel has been difficult to quantify in rural services, and technology shares are often in a state of "vague agreement." The regulations make a breakthrough provision: "Science and technology commissioners selected and dispatched from professional and technical positions in universities, scientific research institutes, and enterprises and institutions can form economic entities (referred to as communities of interest) with service objects in the form of technology achievements and intellectual property rights, capital shares, technical services, and lease operations, etc., to share risks and benefits."
Jiang Wenqing (江文清), a hybrid rice breeding expert in Nanping City (南平市), has a deep understanding of this. Before the promulgation of the regulations, he had already invested his breeding technology in Wuyishan Kexing Seed Industry Co., Ltd. (武夷山科力兴种业有限公司), but the cooperative relationship has always lacked clear legal protection. "In the past, it was more of a 'gentleman's agreement' based on trust," said Jiang Wenqing (江文清). After the regulations were passed, he immediately began to revise the cooperation agreement and formally wrote the relevant clauses into it. "Now I feel much more at ease. The regulations recognize the value of technology and clarify that science and technology commissioners in professional and technical positions can establish communities of interest with service objects, and we are more motivated to develop new varieties."
Tan Shulong (谭树龙), Director of the Nanping Municipal Science and Technology Bureau (南平市科技局), believes that this provision is a milestone: "It establishes the right to participate in the distribution of knowledge from the regulatory level, allowing the intellectual labor of science and technology commissioners to turn to 'value recognition'. This is not only a respect for the value of scientific and technological talents, but also an institutional guarantee for promoting the continuous sinking of scientific and technological resources."
How to share innovation risks? The promotion of agricultural technology is affected by natural conditions, market changes and other factors, and there are natural risks. The regulations establish a "fault tolerance and exemption" mechanism: "If the original records and other documents can prove that the science and technology commissioner who undertakes the agricultural science and technology research and development project with strong exploration and high risk has fulfilled the obligation of diligence and responsibility but still cannot complete the project, he shall be exempted from liability."
In the mountains and forests of Yuxi Village (玉溪村), Jiyang Town (吉阳镇), Jian'ou City (建瓯市), Chen Guoxing (陈国兴), Director of the Municipal Forest Chief Service Center, is promoting the under-forest economic crop "milk root." At the beginning of the new year, Chen Guoxing (陈国兴) plans to fully promote it in the forest area of Jiyang Town (吉阳镇). He said: "The regulations encourage free exploration and innovation, which allows our science and technology commissioners to let go and experiment with new projects and good varieties." After listening to Chen Guoxing's (陈国兴) long-prepared project explanation, the farmers are full of confidence. Fan Linyong (范林勇), the head of the cooperative, said: "With the support of the law, experts are willing to promote it, and we dare to try it."
"The public welfare service of science and technology commissioners has its particularity," said Tan Shulong (谭树龙). "The due diligence exemption clause delineates a clear 'safe zone', creates an environment that encourages exploration and tolerates failure, and eliminates the worries of science and technology commissioners."
How to build a long-term mechanism? The regulations systematically stipulate the guarantee responsibilities of the government, dispatching units, and receiving units: the government includes the required funds in the financial budget, stipulates that the dispatching units guarantee that the wages and benefits of the dispatched personnel remain unchanged, and clarifies that townships and streets must provide guarantees and support.
"This changes the previous situation of mainly relying on the science and technology department to 'fight alone'," Cai Xuefeng (蔡学锋) explained. "Now a strong synergy of government leadership, departmental coordination, and social participation has been formed, and science and technology commissioners can carry out their work in a more powerful support system."
Hu Yulang (胡玉浪) said: "The regulations construct a complete system of rights and responsibilities, which not only grants rights to science and technology commissioners, but also clarifies their obligations; it not only stipulates guarantee measures, but also establishes a constraint mechanism. This balanced design reflects the maturity of the legislation."
Rural Practice Where the Rule of Law Takes Root
The life of the law lies in its implementation. Although the regulations have not been formally implemented for a long time, the legal signals they convey have aroused sincere responses in the villages of northern Fujian (闽北).
In Wuyishan Kexing Seed Industry Co., Ltd. (武夷山科力兴种业有限公司), new seeds sent to the Yangtze River Delta region (长三角地区) are being bagged. Jiang Wenqing (江文清) began to systematically sort out the breeding data over the years, "These are the basis for the evaluation of technical value." Xie Ruihua (谢瑞华), the general manager of the company, is also preparing to open up new businesses in the breeding and promotion of Trichosanthes kirilowii, and has reached a technical share cooperation intention with science and technology commissioner Xie Congshou (谢丛寿).
Such changes are taking place in many fields. Statistics from the Nanping Municipal Science and Technology Bureau (南平市科技局) show that the number of science and technology commissioners consulting on technical share procedures has increased significantly after the regulations were passed. At the same time, a number of agricultural enterprises have also taken the initiative to contact the science and technology department, hoping to establish a more standardized science and technology commissioner cooperation mechanism.
"The most direct change is the increase in the number of applicants," Tan Shulong (谭树龙) told reporters. "In the past, we needed to do mobilization work, but now many scientific and technological personnel take the initiative to consult. Because they see that the work of science and technology commissioners is no longer just a temporary task, but a career platform with legal guarantees and valuable returns."
In Jian'ou Yuxi Village (建瓯玉溪村), Chen Guoxing (陈国兴) distributed the "Risk Informed Consent Form" to more than 30 farmers. Most farmers signed it happily after listening to the explanation. A large grower said when signing: "In the past, we were always worried about trying new varieties, but now there are regulations written, and we all follow the rules, so we have confidence in our hearts."
Deeper changes are taking place at the institutional level. Nanping City (南平市) is accelerating the formulation of detailed rules for the implementation of the regulations, focusing on clarifying the standards for technical value evaluation, the mechanism for benefit distribution, and the procedures for fault tolerance and exemption. "We must ensure that every provision can take root," said Tan Shulong (谭树龙). The Municipal Science and Technology Bureau (市科技局) is preparing to introduce measures to encourage the transformation of technological achievements of science and technology commissioners to refine the implementation of the regulations and promote the regulations from "paper" to "ground."
Legal experts said that Nanping's (南平) exploration of consolidating and optimizing the science and technology commissioner system through local legislation transcends the scope of the region and has become a vivid sample for observing China's rule of law process.
"This is an important local governance legalization practice," Hu Yulang (胡玉浪) pointed out. "The regulations systematically construct a legal framework that unifies the 'rights, responsibilities, and benefits' of science and technology commissioners, and answers the core issues such as their identity positioning, rights and interests, guarantee mechanisms, and development paths. It provides a replicable, referenceable, and developable 'rule of law blueprint' for the science and technology commissioner system that is being deepened and implemented throughout the country."
Chen Shanping (陈善平), Director of the Standing Committee of the Nanping Municipal People's Congress (南平市人大常委会), said with deep feeling when reviewing the legislative process: "What we have established is not just a law, but also an exploration of 'rule of law shaping' for an institutional innovation rooted in the Chinese land and full of vitality. From 'Nanping (南平) original' to 'national promotion', and then to today's 'rule of law sublimation', the development context of the science and technology commissioner system profoundly reflects the governance wisdom of respecting grassroots initiatives, promoting practical innovation, and consolidating and improving it through the rule of law under the leadership of our party."
Return to TopBuilding a Healthy China by 2035 is a strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee. The "15th Five-Year Plan" is a crucial period for achieving this goal, and it is necessary to plan and accelerate progress in a coordinated manner, striving to achieve decisive progress. How can we solidly promote the construction of a Healthy China? Our reporter interviewed four National People's Congress (NPC) deputies.
——Editor
Ma Fuchang (马福昌), NPC Deputy and Deputy Director of the Chronic Non-communicable Disease Prevention and Control Institute of the Qinghai Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention (青海省疾病预防控制中心):
Promote Universal Sharing of Medical Resources
To build a Healthy China, we must adhere to our national conditions, unswervingly follow the path of health development with Chinese characteristics, and unswervingly implement the health work policy for the new era.
China has a large population base, a heavy burden of chronic diseases and tumors, weak primary healthcare service capabilities, and significant differences in medical resources between urban and rural areas and between different regions. Against the backdrop of accelerated aging and optimized fertility policies, the health issues of the "elderly and young" and key populations need special attention. We must base ourselves on regional realities and promote the universal sharing of medical resources in high-altitude areas. Increase investment in the procurement and vaccination of related vaccines, focusing on high-altitude areas and economically underdeveloped areas.
Strengthen the construction of primary healthcare systems in western regions and activate the kinetic energy of primary healthcare talents. Implement differentiated policies for eastern and western regions in terms of policy formulation and construction standards. Increase financial investment in primary healthcare institutions in western regions, improve infrastructure and equipment conditions, accelerate the standardized construction of primary healthcare institutions, and improve the accessibility and convenience of medical services for the people at the grassroots level.
Increase medical assistance and promote the balanced flow of medical resources. Strengthen the modernization of the disease prevention and control system and enhance the ability to monitor and warn of epidemics, respond to emergencies, and conduct epidemiological investigations. Adhere to the principle of prevention first, combining prevention and treatment, and emphasizing both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and promote the shift from a focus on treating diseases to a focus on people's health.

Sun Siyu (孙思予), NPC Deputy and Vice President of China Medical University (中国医科大学):
Focus on Key Areas and Concentrate Efforts
In the systematic project of building a Healthy China, improving the public health system and building a high-quality and efficient medical service system are tasks that benefit a wide range of people and affect the whole situation. We must attach great importance to them and focus on key areas to concentrate our efforts.
In improving the public health system, we must strengthen screening and prevention, especially early cancer screening and prevention. Taking digestive tract tumors as an example, gastroscopy and colonoscopy screening are effective prevention methods, but the current screening coverage rate is low, and primary healthcare institutions lack equipment, technology, and quality control capabilities. It is recommended that the state further include related screening in medical insurance coverage, increase training for primary healthcare workers, and promote standardized operation training and the construction of quality control systems, so that preventive work such as early diagnosis and early treatment can benefit more people.
In building a high-quality and efficient medical service system, it is recommended to use the construction of national medical centers as a traction to promote the expansion and balanced distribution of high-quality medical resources. As the top force in China's medical and health field, national medical centers gather high-quality medical resources and play a key role in promoting medical progress and improving medical service levels. Encourage hospitals with strong regional radiation capabilities to accelerate the construction of national medical centers and comprehensively improve their capabilities in "medicine, education, research, prevention, and management," which will help promote the sinking of high-quality medical resources and reduce the burden on patients seeking medical treatment across regions.

Jiang Jicun (江吉村), NPC Deputy and Party Secretary of the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture Tibetan Hospital (Tibetan Medicine Research Institute) (四川省甘孜藏族自治州藏医院（藏医药研究所）):
Optimize the Functional Positioning of Medical Institutions
In the construction of a Healthy China, no one should be left behind. To respond well to the people's medical treatment problems, we must further deepen reform, improve the coordinated development and governance mechanism of medical care, medical insurance, and medicine, so that farmers and herdsmen in remote areas can also enjoy high-quality and universal medical services.
Adhere to the public welfare orientation of public hospital reform. Public hospitals occupy a dominant position in the medical and health system of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (甘孜藏族自治州), undertaking the important task of providing comprehensive medical services such as prevention, medical treatment, healthcare, and rehabilitation for the vast number of people. We must continue to promote the shift of hospital revenue structure from relying on drugs and consumables to relying on technical services, and effectively curb unreasonable growth in medical expenses.
Continuously improve the quality of primary healthcare services. As the "bottom line" of China's medical and health service system, the service capacity of primary healthcare institutions is directly related to the convenience and accessibility of medical treatment for the people. We must further optimize the functional positioning and layout of medical institutions, promote the construction of close-knit county medical communities and general practice, so that routine diseases can be resolved at the grassroots level.
Strengthen financial investment in medical and health care. From the national level, improve the treatment of health talents in high-altitude areas, establish special funds for talent development, and truly retain health talents in high-altitude, remote, and difficult areas.
(Interview and compilation by Li Linwei (李林蔚) and Wang Mingfeng (王明峰), reporters of this newspaper)
Chen Wei (陈玮), NPC Deputy and Assistant to the President of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (浙江中医药大学附属第三医院):
Promote Digital Empowerment of Health Services
Digitalization is an important path to improving the quality and efficiency of national health services. At present, technologies such as big data, AI (artificial intelligence), and 5G are deeply integrated into the entire medical process, gradually opening up channels for high-quality medical resources to sink, and promoting health management from passive treatment to active prevention.
Deepen the integration of technology and medical care to build a full-process digital medical ecosystem. Develop lightweight AI diagnosis and treatment tools for the grassroots level, promote systems such as image-assisted reading and intelligent triage to achieve grassroots inspection and cloud interpretation; promote the integration of AI and traditional Chinese medicine, build digital models for tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis, and provide personalized diagnosis and treatment services; rely on the health brain to build a data intelligent governance hub, break down data barriers in medical care, medical insurance, and other fields, use privacy computing to ensure data security, and achieve efficient allocation of resources.
Further improve grassroots digital facilities and build a solid foundation for the sinking of medical services. Promote the digital transformation of primary healthcare institutions, popularize equipment such as intelligent inspection and health monitoring, strengthen 5G network coverage, and support remote diagnosis and treatment services; build a three-level smart medical community at the county, township, and village levels, with county-level hospitals as the core to link grassroots stations, establish expert assistance mechanisms, and promote the sinking of high-quality medical resources.
Expand the application of key scenarios to achieve precise and universal health services. For example, use AI technology to conduct pre-pregnancy risk assessment and intelligent monitoring during pregnancy to provide full-cycle healthcare services; weave a dense network of elderly health protection, promote age-appropriate intelligent monitoring equipment, and improve AI chronic disease management and remote consultation services in home-based care and medical-nursing combination institutions.

"Tourists love our beautiful mountains and rivers, but the roads are bad and the water supply is intermittent, which affects the tourist experience." In Changhu Town (长湖镇), Shilin Yi Autonomous County (石林彝族自治县), Kunming City (昆明市), Yunnan Province (云南省), a "courtyard meeting" is in full swing. This is the scene where the county is soliciting public opinions on the "Tourism Promotion Regulations of Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province (云南省石林彝族自治县旅游促进条例)" at a grassroots legislative contact point.
Without entering the conference room, the discussion unfolded "under the big tree" and "among the square tables and round stools." The masses spoke freely, and the representatives recorded the lively discussions.
"High-level legislation should respond to the realistic concerns of the masses. Only by going deep into the grassroots and listening to the voices of the people can legislation be more warm," said Bi Yuzhen (毕玉珍), a representative of the People's Congress of Shilin Yi Autonomous County and Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress.
The representatives repeatedly plunged into villages and communities to conduct research, and the expectations of the masses were brought back to the legislative bodies and transformed into specific legislative suggestions.
The concern that "protecting the ecology will affect business" is addressed in the draft with provisions on ecological compensation funds; the solution to the realistic problem of "infrastructure still having shortcomings" is reflected in the "support for policy and financial inclination"... "The masses may not understand legal jargon, but they know where the problem lies," Bi Yuzhen (毕玉珍) introduced. On the one hand, the county people's congress representatives collect public demands at the grassroots legislative contact points, and on the other hand, they connect with relevant departments and experts to transform the demands and suggestions into legal norms, effectively improving the level of legislation.
Opening up legislation to gather public wisdom makes legislation more down-to-earth. The Standing Committee of the Yunnan Provincial People's Congress (云南省人大常委会) has established 18 grassroots legislative contact points, achieving full coverage of 16 prefectures (cities), driving the prefectural (city) level people's congresses to establish 144 grassroots legislative contact points, allowing grassroots people, industry experts, etc. to directly participate in the legislative process. Vivid practices like that of Changhu Town (长湖镇) are common in various contact points. Since January 2023, Yunnan (云南) has collected more than 1,300 grassroots opinions on 31 draft regulations.
"It is clearly a carefully handcrafted pottery pot, but customers always ask if it is machine-made." In Jianshui County (建水县), Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture (红河哈尼族彝族自治州), people's congress representatives heard the concerns of artisans during their visits.
"The problems encountered by the artisans were subsequently transformed into representative suggestions," said Yang Bo (杨波), head of the grassroots legislative contact point of the Standing Committee of the Jianshui County People's Congress and Chairman of the Lin'an Town (临安镇) People's Congress. By convening symposiums of mass representatives, soliciting expert advice, and coordinating relevant government departments to form a working group, Jianshui County (建水县), with the promotion of the county people's congress, launched a purple pottery workshop and product certification system. Today, 71 handicraft workshops have passed the certification and have the confidence to answer tourists' questions.
In recent years, the Standing Committee of the Jinning District (晋宁区) People's Congress of Kunming City (昆明市) has carried out the "two contacts" performance activities of members contacting representatives and representatives contacting voters in the form of "home visits." In the process of drafting the "Kunming Shizhaishan Large Site Protection Regulations (昆明市石寨山大遗址保护条例)", the Standing Committee of the Jinning District (晋宁区) People's Congress fully utilized the "home visit" system to collect suggestions for protecting the Shizhaishan Large Site (石寨山大遗址) and promoting the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, and promptly transformed the fresh "golden ideas" into "good laws and good policies" to promote governance through legal procedures.
At present, a total of 14,556 representative activity positions have been built in Yunnan Province (云南), realizing full coverage of the construction of "home," "station," and "room" representative activity positions. In 2024, the representative performance service platform was optimized and upgraded, and the representative performance entered the "cloud era," with representatives routinely "entering stations, entering rooms, and going online" to listen to public opinions, gather public wisdom, and solve people's worries.
The solicitation of public suggestions is also a process of popularizing the law. In the opinion solicitation work of the "Yunnan Wetland Protection Regulations (云南省湿地保护条例)", the people's congress representatives at all levels in Qiaojia County (巧家县), Zhaotong City (昭通市) did not simply ask for public demands, but analyzed and discussed with the masses, and the masses understood the laws and regulations in the participation, which also laid the foundation for the subsequent implementation of laws and regulations.
Since 2025, the Standing Committee of the Yunnan Provincial People's Congress (云南省人大常委会) has also innovatively established 9 grassroots contact points for ethnic work of the People's Congress. Each contact point has built a two-way channel for policies to reach downwards directly and public opinions to reach upwards directly, further strengthening the connection with people of all ethnic groups, listening to public demands, gathering public wisdom and strength, and efficiently solving the urgent and difficult problems of people of all ethnic groups, making the channels for public opinion expression smoother and more efficient.
"Through participating in the whole chain of work of legislation, suggestion solicitation, law popularization and publicity, supervision and implementation, and position construction, the contact points make 'whole-process people's democracy' have a visible and tangible basis at the grassroots level," said Shan Wen (单文), Deputy Director of the Ethnic Committee of the Yunnan Provincial People's Congress (云南省人大民族委员会).

Return to TopIn March, Guizhou is full of vitality, with a surge in project construction and steady progress in industrial development. The atmosphere of achieving prosperity through hard work permeates the land of Guizhou. As a central enterprise stationed in Guizhou, China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Power Grid Co., Ltd. (南方电网贵州电网公司) (hereinafter referred to as "Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司)") is targeting a total fixed asset investment of 12 billion yuan by 2026. Taking power grid construction as a starting point and high-quality service as a support, it is making every effort to promote project implementation and optimize power supply, injecting power into local stable growth and consolidating the power foundation for the start of Guizhou's "15th Five-Year Plan." Currently, the first quarter's offensive has entered the sprint stage. The company is focusing on goals, accelerating efforts, promoting the implementation and effectiveness of various tasks, and ensuring a "good start" in the first quarter to lay a solid foundation for the year's development.
Precise Investment to Strengthen the Foundation
Building a Solid Support for Development with Hard Work
At the construction site of the second circuit project from Renyi (仁义) to Dushan (独山) in Guizhou (贵州) at 500 kV, mechanized equipment is operating efficiently, and construction personnel are seizing the golden construction period in spring to advance construction. The total length of the line is approximately 236 kilometers, passing through 3 cities (prefectures) and 7 counties in Guizhou. It is currently the transmission line that crosses the most administrative regions in Guizhou. After completion and operation, it will significantly enhance the power transmission capacity of the southern channel of the Guizhou power grid, optimize the regional power grid structure, and provide solid support for green energy transformation and industrial upgrading.
Focusing on key infrastructure investment, Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) is scientifically planning and precisely exerting efforts to promote the orderly advancement of power grid construction. In 2026, the company's infrastructure project plans to invest 8.505 billion yuan, accounting for approximately 70.9% of the total fixed asset investment for the year, focusing on backbone networks, livelihood projects, and industrial supporting fields. Among them, infrastructure investment in the first quarter is 2.26 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 55.11%, which has been precisely broken down to each project and each node. The company is accelerating construction and forming physical workload, closely following the sprint node. The company strictly follows the working rhythm of "starting a batch, putting into production a batch, transferring to fixed assets a batch, and reserving a batch," accelerating the construction of 500 kV and 220 kV backbone networks, promoting the start of key projects, promoting the commissioning of backbone projects, and continuously improving the power grid backbone network to enhance transmission capacity and safety stability.
The main grid is the "main artery," and the distribution network is the "capillary" of power service, which is directly related to the power consumption experience of the masses and the production guarantee of enterprises. Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) continues to promote the distribution network improvement action, focusing on key projects such as power supply renovation of old residential areas and "dual circuit" supporting for coal mines, promoting the upgrading of the distribution network to intelligence and refinement, and focusing on solving weak problems. At the same time, the overall equipment update is also making efforts simultaneously. In the first quarter of this year, a production technology transformation investment target of 459 million yuan was clarified, a year-on-year increase of 253%, focusing on promoting the update of old and high-energy-consuming equipment and the construction of digital power grids. China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Guiyang Power Supply Bureau (南方电网贵州贵阳供电局) worked day and night to complete the equipment update and renovation of the 220 kV Zhudong Substation (筑东变电站), which has been operating safely for 43 years, effectively eliminating hidden dangers and improving power supply reliability, benefiting important transportation hubs such as Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport (贵阳龙洞堡国际机场) and more than 300,000 households.
To ensure the effectiveness of investment, Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) strengthens overall coordination, clarifies the time nodes and division of responsibilities for each project, and forms a working pattern of "linkage between upper and lower levels, and joint management." Mechanized construction is vigorously promoted at the project site, which not only improves construction quality and efficiency but also reduces safety risks, helping to accelerate the landing of physical workload in the first quarter. At the same time, it deepens government-enterprise collaboration, establishes a "one enterprise, one policy" service list, proactively connects with the electricity demand of key industrial bases, promotes the resonance of power grid planning and local industrial layout, and improves investment utilization efficiency.
Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) strengthens the foundation with precise investment, continuously optimizes the grid structure, and improves power supply reliability, building a solid support for local development. Currently, the company's 2,578 power grid projects have fully resumed work and production, and more than 3,000 builders are sticking to the front line, fully promoting construction with the attitude of "**开局即决战、起步即冲刺**" (kāi jú jí jué zhàn, qǐ bù jí chōng cì - "the start is the decisive battle, the first step is the sprint," to start with full force and determination). Among them, the progress of the 500 kV Machang (马场) transmission and transformation project has reached 95%, and equipment installation and debugging are being carried out. After completion, it will support the Gui'an New Area (贵安新区) data center and serve the "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project; the progress of the 500 kV WuChuan (务川) transmission and transformation project has reached 86% and is expected to be put into operation by the end of June this year, which will strengthen the power grid structure in the northeast of Zunyi City (遵义市).
High-Quality Service to Benefit Enterprises and People
Protecting High-Quality Development with Practical Results
Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) deepens service innovation with demand as the guide, accurately connects with the electricity demand of enterprises and the masses, helps enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, and improves the power consumption experience of the masses.
For the electricity demand of various enterprises, Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) provides customized power supply services. For provincial-level major engineering projects and emerging industries such as big data and new energy battery materials, special service teams are formed to proactively connect with them, tailor-make power supply solutions, and carry out policy publicity to maximize power supply reliability, provide stable power guarantee for enterprise production and operation, and help enterprises expand production and improve quality.
Focusing on empowering key industries, local power supply bureaus precisely exert efforts and provide targeted services, forming a service pattern of linkage between upper and lower levels and full coverage. China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Liupanshui Power Supply Bureau (南方电网贵州六盘水供电局) provides full escort for the second phase of the Shuangyuan Aluminum Industry (双元铝业) project, intervening in advance and following up throughout the process, efficiently solving problems such as line crossing and equipment debugging, and promoting the project to be put into operation ahead of schedule. Currently, the first batch of 126 electrolytic cells in the second phase of the enterprise have been put into operation, and it is expected that all 222 electrolytic cells will be put into operation in the first quarter of this year. After being put into operation, the power consumption can reach 1.176 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 76.26%, which will drive the local upstream and downstream industrial chains to add more than 2,000 jobs. China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Gui'an Power Supply Bureau (南方电网贵州贵安供电局) ensures the stable power supply of the big data center, and China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Zunyi Power Supply Bureau (南方电网贵州遵义供电局) promotes the implementation of power substitution projects such as "electric wine brewing," helping the green upgrade of the industry.
To help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司), in conjunction with the provincial price authorities, improves the peak-valley time-of-use electricity price mechanism, guides enterprises to calculate the "peak-valley account," promotes policy dividends directly to 14,700 enterprises, and achieves a win-win situation for enterprise cost reduction and power grid energy conservation. The mechanism clarifies that the peak electricity price is increased by 60% and the valley electricity price is decreased by 60%, taking into account guidance and flexibility, providing strong support for enterprise cost reduction. The company popularizes policies through multiple online and offline channels, promotes "one factory, two calculations" for industrial users, provides precise guidance for commercial complexes, and helps enterprises reasonably adjust electricity consumption periods. Guizhou Juntong Transportation Co., Ltd. (贵州俊通运输有限公司) charging station took the lead in implementing intelligent flexible adjustment technology for charging piles in the province. Charging in the valley period for a single vehicle can save about 300 yuan in electricity costs, which not only reduces the operating costs of enterprises but also helps the power grid "peak shaving and valley filling."
For the pain points of electricity consumption for individual businesses and small and medium-sized enterprises, Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) continues to optimize services, simplify processes, and extend the tentacles of assistance to enterprises. China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Kaili Power Supply Bureau (南方电网贵州凯里供电局), in response to the temporary electricity consumption problem of the street stall economy, launched the "one code pass" shared electricity service, deployed more than 130 smart terminals in the Kaili Zhongbo Market (凯里中博市集), and merchants can turn on the electricity by scanning the code. At the same time, it jointly rectified more than 100 hidden dangers of private wiring, saving merchants a total of about 330,000 yuan. China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Duyun Power Supply Bureau (南方电网贵州都匀供电局) innovatively promoted the "cloud survey" model of water, electricity, and gas, broke down information barriers through cross-departmental data sharing, achieved a 100% approval compliance rate, and improved power handling efficiency by 50%, effectively reducing the burden and increasing efficiency for small and medium-sized enterprises.
While doing a good job in assisting enterprise services, Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) focuses on the urgent needs of the masses, continues to optimize people's livelihood services, comprehensively promotes the "five ones" service mechanism, and improves the power consumption experience of the masses through precise scheduling of service maps and green channels to improve efficiency. Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) promotes "off-site power handling" to cover all provincial boundaries in the province and integrates it into the government's "one network for all services," realizing "data running" instead of "people running errands"; China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Gui'an Power Supply Bureau (南方电网贵州贵安供电局) built a collaborative platform of "power supply + property + owner," and promoted the transformation of charging piles from "private to public" according to the "one community, one plan." Two existing communities have been completed, and 87 residents have used the "one meter per household" service; China Southern Power Grid Guizhou Liupanshui Power Supply Bureau (南方电网贵州六盘水供电局) accurately guarantees the electricity consumption of the Meihuashan International Ski Resort (梅花山国际滑雪场), promoting the snowmaking efficiency to increase by 40%, helping the development of the cultural tourism industry; the Baiyun District (白云区) Power Ecological Business Hall in Guiyang City (贵阳市) built a "power + agricultural assistance" production and sales platform to help Guizhou goods expand sales channels.
In the first quarter of this year, Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) plans to complete an investment of 3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than 90%, which not only promotes the upgrading of power grid infrastructure but also drives the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries, providing strong support for local stable growth. In the next step, Guizhou Power Grid Company (贵州电网公司) will continue to target the total fixed asset investment of 12 billion yuan in 2026, continue to promote power grid construction, equipment updates, and service quality improvement, deepen government-enterprise collaboration, improve work effectiveness, support the high-quality development of Guizhou's economy and society with the high-quality development of the power grid, and provide a solid power guarantee for Guizhou's "15th Five-Year Plan" to have a good start and a good start.

Return to TopThe "15th Five-Year Plan" proposal puts forward "stimulating the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation and promoting the prosperity and development of socialist culture." Cultural originality is not only related to the soil for the creation of masterpieces, but also to the continuous inheritance of our cultural heritage and our spiritual home. Facing rich cultural resources, facing vivid social practices, and facing the rapidly advancing technological wave, where does cultural originality come from and how can it be continuously improved? On the occasion of the 2026 National People's Congress (全国人民代表大会) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协) sessions, this edition invites deputies to the National People's Congress (全国人大代表) and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协委员) to discuss the topic of "How to Enhance Cultural Originality," and share practical experiences and in-depth reflections.

In 1936, German literary critic Walter Benjamin (瓦尔特·本雅明) proposed in his essay "The Storyteller" that the novel is born of the solitary individual. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that all art completed by one person is born of solitude. Of course—please don't nitpick, I know there are loopholes in what I'm saying. I want to "sound the alarm" just to draw your attention. I believe that humanity is losing the sunlight of solitude. Yes, solitude is also sunlight, illuminating us brilliantly, with both the heat of gold and the softness of silver. But there is something in the present, a technology, a trend, that is devouring our sunlight of solitude day and night. It is the screen, getting smaller and bigger, more and more ubiquitous. You can say it's a mobile phone, but it's more than just a mobile phone.
As we all know, the technological torrent of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is descending from the "core" at lightning speed, cutting into every crack and crevice of our lives. Some say that 2026 will be the "Year Zero of AGI." This spring, in this city: Hangzhou (杭州), a city striving to build the forefront of China's AI, I clearly and strongly feel a reality rushing towards us like a landslide, a surreal fact. Undoubtedly, AGI will be our daily life, our future life—the future has arrived!
However, we must be wary of an existing crisis: humans must be the masters of AI, not cut our souls into pieces and feed them to AI, otherwise we may end up burying our future. When we outsource the right to think to machines, when we cede the experience of emotion to data, we are dismantling that complete, vibrant, and infinitely possible "person" with our own hands. This capitalized "person" is born of solitude, and solitude illuminates our stubborn journey, but that "screen that is getting smaller and bigger, more and more ubiquitous" always puts you in the crowd, the world is always in your palm, at your fingertips, and solitude becomes an "impossible reality," "a task to be worked hard to complete."
Once humanity loses solitude, it will lose the ability to think. If it loses or lacks independent, in-depth thinking ability, humanity will eventually become an appendage of algorithms, and any originality and innovation will become water without a source, a tree without roots. So I think, can we set a "screen-free reading" rule for ourselves, setting aside a certain amount of time each day for "screen-free deep reading" in order to protect our solitude and thinking power. Accordingly, relevant departments can establish "offline thinking corners" in communities, campuses, and other places, so that tired brains can be repaired, and people and books can meet in the purest state, regaining that long-lost solitude that can breed greatness.
Advocating "screen-free deep reading" is by no means to reject AI and return to the past, but to reserve a "spiritual reserve that is not disturbed" for humanity in the torrent of algorithms; it is by no means to limit the speed of AI development, but to allow the human soul to keep up with the rapid pace of AI.
The spiritual height of a nation is deeply rooted in the depth and thickness of reading. On February 1, 2026, the "National Reading Promotion Regulations" issued by the State Council (国务院) officially came into effect. This is China's first administrative regulation targeting national reading, marking that reading has officially risen from "soft advocacy" to "national statutory responsibility." The government, schools, and society all have the obligation to guarantee citizens' right to read, and the national reading cause has moved from "policy guidance" to "rule of law guarantee." For this reason, 2026 can also be called the "Year Zero of the Rule of Law for National Reading," forming a contrast with the "Year Zero of AGI." This is not only a coincidence of two time points, but a challenging hedge and integration of human civilization in the face of the "technological singularity."
With the advent of the AI era—in this era, we are constantly feeling speed and faster speed, but our souls still have a need to "slow down." Slow down, let deep reading reserve a spiritual home, a pure land of the soul, for us that is "not disturbed by algorithms," so as to protect the source of vitality of Chinese civilization, and cultivate cultural originality and technological innovation that has a world influence and can influence world civilization.

In recent years, innovative breakthroughs in the field of science and technology have continued to attract attention. The deep integration of science and technology with art is constantly generating new content and aesthetics, and also bringing new reflections on human-machine collaboration.
Today, as the tide of technology surges forward, how can we use its immense power to stimulate deep-seated cultural originality? The manifestation of cultural originality is not a simple superposition of technology or a replication of tradition, but rather, based on a deep understanding of the potential and limitations of technology, upholding human creation and experience, uniqueness and ethical values, and wisely using technological means to allow the excellent genes of traditional culture to be rejuvenated in the new era. The future of cultural originality is destined to be a "cross-border" and "symbiotic" concerto of science and technology and art—we must actively embrace technological progress, and even more so, adhere to promoting the spirit of outstanding Chinese traditional culture, and cultivate Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Chinese wisdom.
Using technology, we are working hard to weave new aesthetic languages and narrative systems, and broaden the dimensions and horizons of artistic expression. In December 2024, the original musical drama "Summoned: Dunhuang" (《受到召唤·敦煌》) of the China National Theatre (中国国家话剧院) was performed three times at the National Speed Skating Oval "Ice Ribbon" (国家速滑馆“冰丝带”), all of which were sold out and deeply loved by the audience. We used Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology to vividly reproduce the historical grandeur of Dunhuang (敦煌) spanning thousands of years, from the late Western Han Dynasty as an important node on the Silk Road, to the reclusive scholars and virtuous monks in Dunhuang during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "ancient forests lush," "water channels crisscrossing," "February contains green, March brings purple flowers," to the frequent cultural and commercial exchanges in the Tang Dynasty, when Dunhuang became "a metropolis where Chinese and foreign cultures meet." The millennial Dunhuang spectacle generated by AI is presented on a 60-meter-high color gradient giant screen. "AI+3D+2D animation+real-time shooting" and other multiple visual methods are used to present multiple past and future time and space spectacles with shocking audio-visual effects, and the audience gains satisfaction from the creation of the new AI form.
AI assists human creation, in addition to the efficiency and convenience in data collection and information organization, it may also produce richer thematic connotations and more diverse artistic forms. Due to the limitations of the theater viewing field, it is not easy to achieve widespread dissemination of theatrical masterpieces. The China National Theatre (中国国家话剧院) has launched a new business format attempt of "Second Scene". When the drama premieres in Beijing (北京), audiences can see the live broadcast of the evening's performance in theaters in different cities, achieving "simultaneous presence and shared appreciation across thousands of miles."
This new business format of "Second Scene" relying on transmission and dissemination requires high-quality content and complete visual images. The original drama "Spring Dawn on Su Causeway" (《苏堤春晓》) is the first attempt by the China National Theatre (中国国家话剧院). The play tells the magnificent life of Su Dongpo (苏东坡). With the assistance of AI technology, the collection and organization of content materials has been efficiently promoted. The tedious process that traditionally required 4 people to spend several weeks flipping through classics can be completed in just a few seconds to ten seconds with the help of AI tools. Secondly, AI technology helps to present the aesthetics of the Northern Song Dynasty. When 17 sets of high-definition LED screens and holographic gauze curtains form a huge screen on the stage, the magnificent Northern Song Dynasty scroll assisted by AI technology slowly unfolds, whether it is the court or the folk, Hangzhou (杭州) or Chengdu (成都). In the "Second Scene" mode, we tried for the first time to perform simultaneously with the Beijing (北京) performance in 6 towns—Shanghai (上海), Chengdu (成都), Nanjing (南京), Shenzhen (深圳), Hangzhou (杭州), and Wuzhen (乌镇). When the new business format of "Second Scene" is presented, the audience can truly feel the sense of gain and happiness brought by "technology + art."
Technology empowering stage art is currently in an active practice stage. Currently, discussions about "AI subverting artistic creation thinking" are endless, but I believe that we still need to continuously deepen our understanding in cautious progress. This requires us to build consensus in the digital age, take technology as an engine driving cultural innovation and a soil for nurturing innovation and creation, and stimulate cultural originality. No matter how technology develops and what kind of changes it brings, I will always have confidence in human creativity and ideological value.

With the "Four Confidences" and the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind taking root, a batch of works based on outstanding traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture, and advanced socialist culture have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Through the world-renowned "Black Myth: Wukong" and "Ne Zha," we can see China's continuously improving cultural originality.
Of course, whether it is a pendulum-like swing or a spiral rise, or taking half a step back and then a step forward, history has its own development trajectory. I am reminded of what the ancients called "zhonghe" or "zhongyong." "Zhong means the great foundation of the world; he means the universal path of the world. Achieving zhonghe, the heaven and earth are in their proper positions, and all things are nurtured." This includes the wisdom of dialectically understanding and utilizing cultural resources from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign.
To enhance cultural originality, we must "not forget our roots, absorb from others, and face the future." National culture is the foundation of China's cultural originality. Without national culture, our cultural products will become trees without roots and water without a source. At the same time, safeguarding national culture does not mean closing our eyes and ears and rejecting the world's excellent cultures.
While improving the level of economy, national defense, science and technology, and overall productivity, we must safeguard our spiritual and cultural sovereignty. The *Book of Changes* says: "Observe the celestial phenomena to understand the changes of the times; observe the humanistic phenomena to transform the world." The relationship between nature and humanity discovered by Fuxi (伏羲), the originator of Chinese civilization, when he first performed Tai Chi, is an important cornerstone of China's thousands of years of civilization, which contains the dialectical relationship between "strength" and "weakness." Western scholar Joseph Nye also has the concept of "hard power" and "soft power." The reason why Marxism can seamlessly connect and organically combine with China's outstanding traditional culture is precisely because of the high degree of agreement between the two in the philosophical dimension.
However, recently there has been a view that unilaterally understands the core essence of the strategy of a strong country and Chinese-style modernization, and even directly sings down liberal arts. This is either ignorance or ulterior motives. Every country has national sovereignty in the physical sense and spiritual sovereignty in the cultural sense, the latter of which is no less important than tangible areas such as territory. If we only obey the logic of capital and technical rationality and no longer value humanities, we may push human civilization to the brink of destruction. As the only ancient civilization in human history that has not been interrupted, Chinese civilization has continued for thousands of years, and spiritual culture has made great contributions, because Chinese culture is the lasting presentation of the Chinese nation's emotions, values, and aesthetic identity. Therefore, China should regard liberal arts as the spiritual pillar to ensure the mainstream ideology and the basic nature of society, and defend our spiritual sovereignty at the cultural level.

As a common crystallization of human civilization, culture is like a surging river. Only through openness and flow can it maintain its vitality. In recent years, I have heard many international friends praise the Chinese art scene—they exclaimed, "The future of world-class art must be in China" and "I love performing in China the most." Today's Chinese audiences stand in China and look at the world with a more open, confident, and inclusive attitude; today's literary and art workers should use high-quality literary and artistic creations to give back to the audience and the times, promote different civilizations to cross barriers and move towards each other, and achieve a "two-way rush" of mutual learning between civilizations.
Looking back at the creation practice of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the original drama "Jinzhongdu" (金中都) traces the roots of the ancient capital's cultural context, the original Peking Opera "Yan Zhenqing" (颜真卿) praises the national spiritual backbone, and the "Sounds from All Seas Cloud Performance" conveys the original charm of folk music to the world... These works rooted in outstanding Chinese traditional culture are all committed to telling Chinese stories and allowing the millennium-old cultural context to shine on the contemporary art stage. At the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra played the "Five Elements" suite inspired by Chinese traditional culture. Eastern philosophy touched the local audience and received long-lasting applause. In Singapore, the drama film "Lin Zexu" (林则徐) moved overseas audiences with the Chinese national hero... These works containing the Chinese spirit and common human emotions allow the world to truly perceive China's warmth and feelings.
High-quality literary and artistic creation is by no means an isolated "**闭门造车**" (bì mén zào chē - "building a cart behind closed doors," isolating oneself from the outside world and working in a vacuum), but a cross-cultural collaborative innovation. The joint creation of Chinese and foreign art institutions can often stimulate an artistic breakthrough of "1+1>2". In 2024, our first musical "War and Peace" adapted from a world literary classic was staged. Chinese and Russian artists collided with inspiration in the creation process. After repeated argumentation and polishing, the play finally sublimated the thinking about war and peace with a solemn and profound artistic expression, winning both market and word-of-mouth success. We have transformed many world classics into "National Centre for the Performing Arts versions", integrating Chinese expression and innovative interpretation. The "Chinese version" operas "La Traviata," "Aida," and "The Ring" have attracted the attention of global audiences. We have joined hands with famous art institutions in Russia, Austria, Germany and other countries to produce many classic dramas. The sincere cooperation of Chinese and foreign artists has allowed the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations to take root in artistic practice and cultivate the soil for cultural originality.
While promoting Chinese masterpieces to "**走出去**" (zǒu chū qù - "go out," to go global), we are also using an open mind to allow the world to understand the profound heritage of Chinese culture in an "immersive experience" and enhance their understanding and recognition of the Chinese spirit. When the Vienna Symphony Orchestra played "Jasmine Flower" at the Temple of Heaven (天坛) in Beijing (北京), the Alexandrov Red Army Choir sang "China in the Lights," and Spanish netizens left a message after enjoying "Liangxiao" on the "Sounds from All Seas" cloud platform, "Music conveys love and beauty, this moment is unforgettable for me"... Relying on the global art institution cooperation network built by the World Theatre Alliance, such exchanges and dialogues have become commonplace. Practice has fully proved that the originality of Chinese culture is not only a "microphone" for telling Chinese stories well, but also a bridge and link that crosses mountains and seas and connects people's hearts.
From original narratives rooted in the local area, to cross-border collaborative art creation, and then to the two-way integration of "**请进来**" (qǐng jìn lái - "invite in," to attract foreign investment or talent) and "**走出去**" (zǒu chū qù - "go out," to go global), all these efforts are aimed at making cultural "living water" truly flow. In the future, we will continue to inscribe the unique imprint of "Chinese Original" on the world stage with unremitting original works and open and sincere international dialogue, so that literature and art can become a solid bridge that transcends borders and connects hearts, and promote different civilizations to be beautiful and prosperous forever in exchange and mutual learning.

Whether in history or in the present day, outstanding traditional Chinese culture is an important source of original cultural creation. As an important part of outstanding traditional Chinese culture, the development of opera art eloquently proves that the innovative expression of opera art in any era cannot be separated from fully drawing on the accumulation of historical culture, inheriting in protection, innovating in inheritance, developing in innovation and selection, and developing in selection and abandonment.
Of the 348 opera genres in the great family of Chinese opera art, none exists independently of the historical achievements created by its predecessors. For example, Peking Opera, with the emergence of the Peking Opera performing artist group mainly composed of the "Thirteen Wonders of Tongguang (同光十三绝)" around 1860 as a major sign, has been formed for less than 200 years. However, the emergence of Peking Opera was not achieved overnight. Its growth was based on the "Anhui Opera Troupes Entering Beijing (徽班进京)" in 1790 and the subsequent "Convergence of Anhui and Han Operas (徽汉合流)". The Anhui opera performers and Hubei performers from Anhui were full of various artistic nutrients such as Xipi and Erhuang, gathered in Beijing, and had long-term exchanges and integration with Kunqiang, Qinqiang, and Bangziqiang performers active in Beijing, before they could absorb all rivers and forge the "Pi Huang" art, which is what we call "Peking Opera" today.
In the following hundred years, Peking Opera art has not stopped exploring. On the existing basis, generations of innovative artists have carried out bold creation and creation, and the representative figure is Mei Lanfang (梅兰芳). I once presided over the creation and rehearsal of the newly compiled Peking Opera work "Qi Baishi (齐白石)". The two protagonists in the play are both great artists of cultural reform and innovation during the May Fourth Movement: one is the people's artist and master of Chinese painting Qi Baishi (齐白石). On the basis of skillfully mastering the traditional techniques of Chinese painting, he carried out a self-revolution - leading Chinese painting to the international stage with the "red flower and ink leaf" freehand style; the other is the Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang (梅兰芳). On the basis of accumulating a large number of traditional repertoires and performance experience, combined with his own artistic characteristics, he dared to practice stage innovation, boldly reformed the Danjiao performance system, and became the first to create the Peking Opera Danjiao school and promote the international communication of Peking Opera. The artistic achievements of the two masters fully illustrate the importance of original cultural creation, and also fully illustrate that the original cultural ability cannot be separated from the profound traditional heritage that accumulates the deepest spiritual pursuit and fundamental cultural genes of the Chinese nation.
In the long river of Chinese opera history, Peking Opera, although a latecomer, has become a national quintessence with its high aesthetic achievements and standardized talent training system, and has produced huge international influence. The birth, development and iconic achievement status of Peking Opera highlight the important laws of inheritance and development of Chinese culture, especially opera art: first, respect, protection and inheritance of tradition are the gene guarantee for the continuous and continuous development of opera art; second, the mutual learning and integration between various ethnic groups and art categories of the Chinese nation is an important foundation for promoting the prosperity and splendor of opera art, which is characterized by comprehensiveness; third, attaching importance to aesthetic education and talent training is the key and fundamental to the development of opera art.
At the beginning of this year, the Central Propaganda Department (中宣部) and other 5 departments jointly released the "Three-Year Action Plan for Drama Revitalization (2026-2028)", which aims to further promote the inheritance and development of the drama industry in the new era, and especially requires promoting the continuous enhancement of drama innovation and creativity and strengthening talent training. Only when the vast number of opera workers actively take action to deeply integrate the protection, inheritance, innovation and development of opera art with the social and cultural life needs of the people and the construction of new mass art forms, and give full play to the policy and institutional advantages, technological empowerment advantages, and cultural ecological advantages of the new era, can we continuously cultivate high-quality opera talents, promote the improvement of original ability, and promote the prosperity and development of opera art.

Today, tourism has become a rigid demand and daily option for people's better life. Cultural originality has expanded the new space for cultural and tourism integration, enriching tourists' new travel experiences and tourism consumption scenarios. Whether it is the normal travel of seven festivals and four seasons, or the study tours of teenagers, culture has always been the basic driving force to attract tourists and promote the high-quality development of the tourism industry.
The beautiful scenery of China has always been a symbiosis of resource endowment and cultural creation. The famous mountains and rivers we look up to today, and the famous historical sites we set foot on, are all accumulated with cultural originality from ancient times to the present. Famous buildings and gardens that have become famous in history because of immortal masterpieces such as *Yueyang Tower Record* and *Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng*, and the Three Mountains and Five Mountains (三山五岳) that combine natural and cultural heritage, all have a "second nature" because of the literati's lyrical expressions, spiritual carvings, and cultural creations. Excellent traditional culture has built the spiritual pedigree of modern tourism, and mass tourism has further demonstrated the contemporary value of tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
Culture is a continuous historical accumulation, and also an endless modern creation. Whether it is a traditional cultural organization or a new literary and artistic group, all the achievements of cultural originality are new content of tourism experience shared by both hosts and guests. *Only Green*, *Ancient Music in Ancient Books* created by professional troupes, tourism performance projects *Impression Lijiang* and *Only the Dream of Red Mansions*, Drama Fantasy City, Drama Nine, Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Choir, Temple of Heaven Qin Zhi Sheng National Music Orchestra, Guiyang "Roadside Concert" and other mass art groups, as well as a large number of concerts, village songs, and "village evenings," inject accessible new cultural scenes into cities and villages. Xunpu Village (蟳埔村) in Quanzhou (泉州), Fujian (福建) Province, has broken the circle with the innovative use of hairpin flowers (簪花) as an intangible cultural heritage, receiving more than 9 million tourists in 2025. The deep integration of artificial intelligence, light and shadow technology, and cultural creation has rejuvenated many famous historical and cultural cities, blocks, and ancient towns, making the heritage displayed on the land, the cultural relics collected in museums, and the words written in the classics all live into a new cultural ecology that is close to tourists and audiences.
The continuously expanding tourism demand provides a broad application scenario for cultural originality, and the ultra-large-scale consumer market lays a solid market support for cultural originality. During the 9-day Spring Festival holiday in 2026, the market scale of 596 million domestic tourist trips and 803.483 billion yuan of total domestic tourism expenditure was formed. Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, combined the filming location of the TV series *The Peaceful Years* with the historical and cultural relics of the Wuyue Kingdom (吴越国) to launch a theme route of the same name. The Wu Shi (吴石) Former Residence (吴石故居) in Luozhou Town (螺洲镇), Fuzhou (福州), Fujian (福建) Province, which was renovated and reopened, attracted thousands of "glory tour" visitors to experience his original intention of "establishing oneself with morality and serving the country with loyalty." Chimelong (长隆), Haichang (海昌), Yinji (银基) and other resorts and theme parks meet the diversified, personalized, and high-quality spiritual enjoyment and cultural consumption needs of the majority of tourists with rich and diverse cultural creativity and scene creation. Excellent literary and artistic works can be transformed into high-quality tourism products, allowing tourists to better cultivate their aspirations and cultivate their sentiments in cultural experiences.
The continuously improving cultural originality expands the space for deep integration of culture and tourism, and empowers the high-quality development of the tourism industry. We should attach importance to the guiding role of tourism investment institutions and operating entities in cultural originality, and form a mutually empowering and collaborative innovation industrial ecosystem with state-owned literary and art troupes, museums, art galleries, cinemas, theaters, new literary and art organizations and other literary and art units.
