On May 8th, Fuyao Group's (福耀集团) Fuqing Yangxia (福清阳下) production base rolled out a panoramic sunroof glass. This new product integrates intelligent dimming, coated heat insulation, and glass antenna functions. It can integrate eight types of antennas, such as broadcasting and high-precision positioning, and can automatically adjust brightness and insulate ultraviolet rays, making signals stronger, functions more numerous, and energy consumption lower.
"In core areas such as key processes and equipment, Fuyao (福耀) has achieved fully independent research and development and autonomous control, successfully solving 14 'bottleneck' technical problems in the industry," said Ye Shu (叶舒), President of Fuyao Group (福耀集团). "In the past 10 years, Fuyao's (福耀) cumulative R&D investment has exceeded 10 billion yuan; there are currently 6,338 R&D personnel, accounting for 15% of the company's total number of employees."
In October 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized during his inspection in Fujian (福建): "Focus on key areas and crucial links, highlight the guiding role of economic system reform, and continue to be bold in experimenting, bold in breaking through, and independent in reforming. Adhere to the 'two unwavering' principles, innovate and develop the 'Jinjiang Experience (晋江经验),' and fully stimulate the investment and entrepreneurial vitality of the whole society." The "15th Five-Year Plan"纲要 (gui hua gang yao) proposes to "stimulate the vitality of private investment" and "develop and strengthen the private economy."
To thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important instructions, Fujian (福建) is focusing on the concerns of private enterprises, promoting comprehensive reform of the private economy development environment, issuing the "Fujian Province Regulations on Promoting the Private Economy (福建省民营经济促进条例)," and deploying 20 reform tasks in six aspects, including a fair and competitive market environment, striving to promote the overall optimization and systematic improvement of the private economy development environment. In 2025, the added value of Fujian Province's (福建省) private economy exceeded 4.2 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%.
Aiming at the urgent needs and difficulties of private enterprises, build a more fair and orderly market environment.
Fujian Minxiang Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (福建民翔半导体有限公司), located in Zhangzhou (漳州市), has recently experienced a sharp increase in short-term capital turnover pressure due to a substantial increase in raw material prices and overall relocation.
Focusing on the company's high-tech qualifications and industry growth, the Zhangzhou Branch of the Bank of China (中国银行漳州分行) broke the traditional credit granting inertia of "only mortgages, only scale," and provided a credit loan of 5 million yuan without sufficient collateral, providing timely help to the company.
The "dare to lend, willing to lend" of banking institutions is inseparable from institutional incentives. Fujian (福建) has improved the financing risk-sharing policy and the inclusive credit due diligence exemption system, and promoted the organic connection between due diligence exemption and the management of non-performing tolerance and performance evaluation. At the same time, Fujian (福建) carried out a clean-up and rectification campaign against market access barriers, supporting private enterprises to lead or participate in undertaking major scientific and technological innovation projects.

Unblock contact channels and be there when called, communicate and solve problems whenever called, dredge policy transmission and do what is said, and break down departmental barriers to provide thorough service. Fujian (福建) "responds to every request and does not disturb when there is nothing to do" for private enterprises, and continues to improve the three-level leadership cadre contact system for private enterprises at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, and the three-level work mechanism for supporting the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises at the provincial, municipal, and county levels. The government service system for enterprises is becoming more collaborative, intelligent, and smart.
In the first quarter of this year, Fujian (福建) exported 32.93 billion yuan of "new three" products such as lithium batteries, accounting for 12.2% of the province's total exports during the same period, and the export scale hit a record high for the same period in history.
Innovate and develop the "Jinjiang Experience (晋江经验)" to promote the healthy growth of private entrepreneurs.
"With the help of artificial intelligence, design efficiency has increased by 60%, and R&D costs have been reduced by about 70%." In Jinjiang City (晋江市), a youth entrepreneur theme sharing session with the theme of "AI Empowers Intelligent Manufacturing and Digital Intelligence Leads Industry" is being held. Xu Jintai (许金泰), executive director of Xintai (Fujian) Technology Co., Ltd. (信泰（福建）科技有限公司), shared the company's digital intelligence upgrade process with more than 40 young entrepreneurs attending the meeting.

"We must develop plateau-characteristic advantageous industries in line with local conditions, especially characteristic agriculture and animal husbandry and clean energy industries, continue to develop resource processing industries, actively develop modern service industries, and promote the integration of cultural tourism industries."
——August 20, 2025, Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out when listening to the work report of the Party Committee and Government of the Tibet Autonomous Region (西藏自治区).
The snowy plateau has unlimited "wind" and "light."
At 4,650 meters, the world's highest altitude tower solar thermal power station—the Ando Tusuo 100 MW solar thermal project in Tibet (西藏安多土硕100兆瓦光热项目)—has made new progress. All 15,927 heliostats were recently installed. At a glance, they are densely packed and shimmering.
At 6.25 MW, the largest single wind turbine unit in Tibet (西藏)—the first batch of units of the Shannan Huaneng Caipeng Wind Power Project (山南市华能才朋风电项目) were connected to the grid for power generation on February 8. To date, the cumulative power generation has exceeded 1.42 million kilowatt-hours. Large wind turbines stand tall, with blades like wings, soaring and spinning.
In August last year, Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out when listening to the work report of the Party Committee and Government of the Tibet Autonomous Region (西藏自治区): "We must develop plateau-characteristic advantageous industries in line with local conditions, especially characteristic agriculture and animal husbandry and clean energy industries, continue to develop resource processing industries, actively develop modern service industries, and promote the integration of cultural tourism industries."
Bearing in mind the entrustment and working hard, in 2025, Tibet's (西藏) installed clean energy power generation capacity exceeded 13 million kilowatts, and clean energy power generation exceeded 99%, making it the region with the highest proportion of clean energy power generation in the country.
Green electricity shines on the panels, and cattle and sheep graze under the lush grass and trees. Approaching the China Power Construction Mozhugongka 100 MW agricultural-solar complementary photovoltaic power generation project (中电建墨竹工卡100兆瓦牧光互补复合型光伏发电项目) in Lhasa (拉萨), Tibet (西藏), photovoltaic panels stretch undulatingly. The total investment of the project is about 540 million yuan, and it was fully connected to the grid for power generation in November last year, with an estimated average annual power generation of about 177 million kilowatt-hours.
Photovoltaic panels support "sunshades" and "wind barriers," and the water used to wash the photovoltaic panels flows down to nourish the land and promote plant growth. "The pasture is greener, the cattle and sheep are fatter, and the wallets are fuller." Danzeng Luobu (旦增罗布), a villager from Longda Village (龙达村), Jiama Township (甲玛乡), Mozhugongka County (墨竹工卡县), said that the village collective has more than 2 million yuan in photovoltaic project site rental income every year, and the villagers can receive dividends at the end of the year, sharing the ecological benefits of turning sunshine into cash and turning grassland into gold.
Located on the "Roof of the World," Tibet (西藏) has the most solar radiation energy in China (中国) and is rich in wind and hydro energy resources. How to promote the development of characteristic industries? Xi Jinping (习近平) gave a clear direction: "We must capitalize on our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, adapt to local conditions" and "embark on a path of high-quality development that is in line with Tibet's (西藏) reality."
In order to turn the geographical advantages bestowed by nature into development advantages, Tibet (西藏) is full of energy in "chasing the wind and the sun" and is striving to promote the construction of a national clean energy base. In the second half of last year, the hydropower project in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River (雅鲁藏布江), with a total investment of about 1.2 trillion yuan, and the Tibet-Guangdong DC transmission project (藏粤直流输电工程), with a total investment of about 53.2 billion yuan, were successively launched.
Green electricity surges out of the plateau. Since the first "Tibetan electricity transmission" in 2015, Tibet (西藏) has cumulatively transmitted 16.4 billion kilowatt-hours of clean energy electricity, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 14.14 million tons, covering 19 provinces.
Mountains and rivers, what the heart is concerned about is where the action goes. In 2025, Xi Jinping's (习近平) inspection footprints spread all over the country, and local characteristic industries are a key research topic—
In March, in Guizhou (贵州), he specifically instructed: "To promote the increase of income and prosperity for the people, we must find channels and methods that facilitate the participation of the masses in the development of characteristic industries";
In August, when talking to Tibetan (西藏) cadres about the plateau characteristic industry of caterpillar fungus, he said: This is "a treasure given by God," but we must also consider the issue of sustainability. "**竭泽而渔可不行**" (jié zé ér yú kě bù xíng - "drain the pond to catch the fish is not allowed," a short-sighted approach that depletes resources for immediate gain is not acceptable);
In September, in Xinjiang (新疆), he further pointed out the focus: "We must adhere to the development of oil and gas, minerals, wind and solar power, grain, fruits and vegetables, and other characteristic advantageous industries";
…………
Following the direction guided by the General Secretary, various places are digging for "special" points between mountains and seas, making characteristics more special and advantages more advantageous.
In Guizhou (贵州), where "there is no three feet of flat land," bridges fly over the mountains. On September 28 last year, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge (花江峡谷大桥) in Guizhou (贵州) was opened, and new tourism formats such as high-altitude racing were launched simultaneously, polishing the gold-lettered signboard of "'horizontal and vertical' are the world's first." The super project has been transformed into a tourist check-in point, activating the adjacent Huajiang Village (花江村), a "traditional Chinese village." As of May 9 this year, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge (花江峡谷大桥) had a cumulative traffic volume of 560,000 vehicles and received approximately 2.58 million tourists.
Achieving "having what others don't have" through "creating something from nothing," and promoting "having what others have better" through "creating something new from something existing." In Meizhou (梅州), Guangdong (广东), a pomelo has hundreds of variations, transforming into pomelo peel candy, pomelo juice, pomelo peel essential oil, and other products, with an annual output value of over 8.9 billion yuan for the entire industrial chain.
In November last year, Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out during his inspection of the Nanfu Pomelo Planting Base (南福金柚种植基地) in Meizhou (梅州) that "developing rural characteristic industries is the foundation for promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside." In Meizhou (梅州), General Secretary "wished the villagers a life as sweet and beautiful as pomelos"; three years ago, General Secretary said during his inspection of the lychee industry in Maoming (茂名), Guangdong (广东), "I hope the villagers' lives will become more and more prosperous, as red and prosperous as lychees."
From the lychee orchard to the pomelo orchard, the unchanging concern conveys deep expectations. At present, a total of 397 national-level characteristic industrial clusters for small and medium-sized enterprises have been cultivated nationwide, driving provinces (regions, and cities) to cultivate more than 1,400 provincial-level clusters. The characteristic industries that are "**遍地开花**" (biàn dì kāi huā - "flowers blooming everywhere," flourishing and developing vigorously in many places) have yielded fruitful results in high-quality development.

On May 7th, Mr. Qiu (邱先生), 79, received a follow-up call from Huang Li'ou (黄丽鸥), a health manager from his family doctor team. In March of this year, the family doctor team at the Gulangyu Sub-district Community Health Service Center (鼓浪屿街道社区卫生服务中心) in Siming District (思明区), Xiamen (厦门), Fujian Province (福建省), discovered from Mr. Qiu's (邱先生) chest CT scan that he had a high degree of coronary artery calcification and a high risk of cardiovascular disease. They immediately advised him to go to a specialist hospital for further examination. The next day, Mr. Qiu (邱先生) went to the Xiamen University Affiliated Cardiovascular Hospital (厦门大学附属心血管病医院) for treatment through the community referral green channel. The examination results confirmed severe coronary artery stenosis. After surgical treatment, Mr. Qiu (邱先生) quickly recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
Since the beginning of this year, the family doctor team has screened out and referred multiple patients with moderate to severe coronary artery stenosis for treatment. This is a microcosm of China's accelerating construction of a hierarchical medical system.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out, "Build a high-quality and efficient medical service system." The "15th Five-Year Plan" outlines the need to improve the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system. In April, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Several Measures on Accelerating the Construction of a Hierarchical Diagnosis and Treatment System." The National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委), the National Healthcare Security Administration (国家医保局), and other departments have introduced a series of policies and measures to promote the improvement of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system and meet the people's needs for nearby medical treatment.
At present, China's hierarchical diagnosis and treatment pattern has been basically established. More than 1.1 million medical and health institutions across the country cover urban and rural areas, and more than 90% of residents can reach the nearest medical service point within 15 minutes. In 2025, the number of diagnoses and treatments at primary medical and health institutions nationwide reached 5.56 billion, accounting for 52.6% of the total number of diagnoses and treatments nationwide. The construction of a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system is gradually shifting from laying a solid foundation to a comprehensive improvement stage of quality and efficiency.
Closely-knit medical consortia are improving in quality and expanding in scope, strengthening the sharing of medical resources—
Eighty-one cities are carrying out pilot projects for closely-knit urban medical groups, and 2,199 counties (cities, districts) are building closely-knit county medical communities. Among the nearly 3,000 closely-knit county medical communities that have been built, more than 2,300 are led by county hospitals, and more than 600 are led by county traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, covering 33,000 primary medical and health institutions. More than 1,100 county disease control centers and more than 1,600 county-level maternal and child health care institutions have joined closely-knit county medical communities. In 2025, the proportion of primary diagnoses and treatments in closely-knit county medical communities will exceed 63%.
Various regions are accelerating the construction of resource sharing centers for medical imaging, electrocardiogram diagnosis, medical testing, disinfection supply, and pathology diagnosis to improve the homogenization level of medical and health services within medical consortia.
"Next, we will continue to strengthen the connotation construction of county medical communities, continuously improve the collaborative mechanism for hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, and strive to solve general diseases in cities and counties and routine diseases at the primary level," said Jiao Yahui (焦雅辉), Director of the Primary Health Department of the National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委基层卫生健康司司长).
Guiding the public to seek initial treatment at the primary level and unblocking two-way referral channels—
"Now it's convenient to get medicine without leaving the village!" A few days ago, Wang Jiuxiu (王九秀), a villager in Hongqiao Village (洪桥村), Baishui Town (白水镇), Jishui County (吉水县), Jiangxi Province (江西省), received centralized procurement drugs at the village health clinic. Wang Jiuxiu (王九秀) needs long-term medication due to chronic illness, and used to have to go to the township health center several kilometers away to get medicine. Now, she can get medicine at the village health clinic and settle the bill with her medical insurance card.
China has promptly included eligible primary medical and health institutions in the scope of medical insurance designation, providing convenience for the public to seek medical treatment nearby. For common diseases at the primary level, it adheres to the principle of "medicine follows the disease" to meet patients' continuous medication needs. For patients who require long-term drug treatment, it issues long-term prescriptions for no more than 12 weeks at a time, reducing the back-and-forth travel of patients with chronic diseases.
At the same time, various regions guide leading hospitals in closely-knit medical consortia to reserve a certain proportion of appointment slots and beds for primary medical institutions to promptly receive referred patients after initial treatment at the primary level. They promote "general practitioner + specialist" joint clinics, allowing the public to simultaneously receive health management services from general practitioners and professional diagnosis and treatment guidance from specialists at the primary level.
Expanding the supply of family doctor contract services and improving the quality and effectiveness of contract services—
From family doctor publicity boards posted at the entrances of building units to health tips pushed to WeChat groups; from accurately classified community "health maps" to "sweep-the-building" health follow-ups... This is a vivid practice of high-quality development of family doctor contract services in China.
By the end of 2025, the total number of family doctors in China reached 1.391 million, providing contract services for the elderly, children, pregnant women, and patients with hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc. In some places, the contract rate for key populations exceeds 80%.
Since the beginning of this year, various regions have encouraged family doctors to use the elderly and children as a link to establish long-term and stable contract service relationships with all members of the family. At the same time, according to the needs of different groups, they are developing higher-level personalized contract services.
Lei Haichao (雷海潮), Director of the National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委员会主任), said that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China will vigorously implement the medical and health strengthening project, focusing on the primary level to accelerate the construction of a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, build a division of labor and collaboration mechanism between medical institutions at all levels, promote the efficient allocation of medical and health service resources, and provide the public with convenient, accessible, high-quality, efficient, systematic, and continuous medical and health services.

How far can a truck with a "Lu Q" license plate travel?
Three years ago, the answer was covering all cities above the county level nationwide. Now, the answer is the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, and the scope is still expanding.
What does Linyi (临沂), Shandong (山东), which is neither coastal nor border city, rely on to achieve a "breakthrough"?
In May 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized during his inspection in Shandong (山东): "We must actively build international logistics corridors" and "strive to become an important node for smooth domestic and international dual circulation."
Breaking through the problem starts with a series of reforms to open up international logistics corridors.
Li Chaojiang (李朝江), a driver at Shandong Linman Europe International Logistics Co., Ltd. (山东临满欧国际物流有限公司), has personally witnessed the changes.
At dusk, inside the Linyi International Land Port Railway Customs Supervision Operation Site (临沂国际陆港铁路海关监管作业场所), the heavy truck he drives, bearing the TIR (International Road Transport) logo, is ready to depart.
"This batch of goods is to be delivered to Moscow (莫斯科), Russia (俄罗斯)." Li Chaojiang (李朝江) carefully checks the vehicle condition while waiting for departure instructions.
In the cab, pancakes, bread, and mineral water are neatly stacked, and thick clothes and quilts are stuffed in the corner of the sleeper berth.
Li Chaojiang (李朝江) is not taking this long journey across the Eurasian continent for the first time.
Linyi (临沂) is a red hot land. During the revolutionary war years, the people of Yimeng (沂蒙) bravely stepped forward, with millions of civilians pushing small carts to support the front lines, forging the Yimeng Spirit (沂蒙精神). Relying on this spirit, after the reform and opening up, the old revolutionary base area built a market cluster—Linyi Mall (临沂商城), relying on a dense logistics network to achieve the circulation of goods throughout the country and smooth access to urban and rural areas.
However, access to the sea has always been a significant shortcoming for Linyi (临沂) to expand its opening up.
"In the past, if goods wanted to go to sea, they had to be transported by land to coastal ports, and then transshipped several times, taking as long as forty or fifty days to reach Europe," said Wu Chuanliang (武传亮), Director of the Linyi Municipal Bureau of Commerce (临沂市商务局局长). "Now, the one-way trip has been shortened to about 9 days."
Li Chaojiang (李朝江) recalled, "A few years ago, merchants often worried about not having enough goods to fill a container, and it was not cost-effective to ship separately; by the time they had enough, the customers had already lost patience."
As the industry has gradually grown in scale, international long-distance shipping by combining goods has become a trend. "Linyi Mall (临沂商城) has a large number of merchants and many cross-border e-commerce orders. We try to have multiple companies' goods 'hitch a ride' on the road, and leave as soon as the truck is full, flexibly meeting the needs of Linyi Mall (临沂商城) merchants for multi-category, small-batch, and high-efficiency access to the sea," Wu Chuanliang (武传亮) introduced.
At the same time, Linyi Customs (临沂海关) has introduced a "check first, then load" supervision model, checking the goods for accuracy before loading them into containers, avoiding the past troubles of "difficulty in unpacking, difficulty in finding goods, and difficulty in reloading," greatly improving customs clearance efficiency.
Linyi's (临沂) trading partners have expanded to 220 countries and regions. In 2025, the market transaction volume of Linyi Mall (临沂商城) was 708.53 billion yuan, the total logistics volume was 1082.99 billion yuan, and the foreign trade import and export volume was 124.52 billion yuan, representing year-on-year increases of 7.3%, 7.5%, and 8.5% respectively.
The road to the sea is getting wider and wider. Linyi (临沂) has taken the lead in becoming the first city to simultaneously implement the "three major centers" of international road transport assembly, convenience services, and vehicle verification. The number of TIR vehicles ranks among the top in the country, and it has been approved as a national China-Europe Railway Express (中欧班列) node city. A well-connected international logistics corridor has taken initial shape.
Continuously strengthening international logistics channels, promoting "Hundreds of Groups and Thousands of Enterprises Going to Sea from the Mall" ("百团千企·商城出海"), establishing a Mall Going to Sea Association Alliance, and deploying "One City, One Warehouse" around the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative... Striving for the "15th Five-Year Plan," Linyi (临沂) regards building an international commercial and logistics hub as one of its main goals.
"We want to deliver Linyi's (临沂) goods, China's (中国) goods, to foreign countries truck by truck." After checking the documents and passport for the last time, Li Chaojiang (李朝江) starts the engine.
In the twilight, the truck drives out of the operation site, carrying the spirit of hard work of the people in the old revolutionary base area, heading towards the road to the sea.
Return to TopThis newspaper Beijing (北京) May 10th (Reporter Ouyang Jie (欧阳洁)) - The National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration (国家粮食和物资储备局) released data showing that the 2025 autumn grain peak season procurement ended at the end of April this year. Various grain business entities across the country cumulatively purchased over 338 million tons of autumn grain, a relatively high level in recent years, generally showing characteristics such as rapid progress, active purchase and sale, and rising prices.
During the peak procurement season, the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration (国家粮食和物资储备局) strengthened overall organization, refined policy measures, flexibly carried out storage and regulation as appropriate, and promoted production and sales connection and agricultural enterprise docking through multiple measures, actively guiding various entities to enter the market, focusing on stimulating market purchase and sale vitality, and ensuring the smooth progress of procurement work. According to preliminary statistics, a cumulative total of 103 million tons of medium and late-season rice, 222 million tons of corn, and 12.99 million tons of soybeans were purchased.
According to reports, this season's autumn grain was launched early and the overall quality was good. Farmers actively sold grain and enterprises actively purchased grain. The overall situation showed a good trend of 购销两旺 (gòu xiāo liǎng wàng - "brisk buying and selling," a flourishing market with both strong demand and supply), and the purchase price rose steadily. At the same time, the characteristics of high-quality and good prices were more obvious, with the price of high-quality rice reaching 3,200 yuan/ton, and the price of high-quality high-protein soybeans exceeding 5,000 yuan/ton.

Return to TopBeijing, May 10th (Reporter Lin Lili (林丽鹂)) The State Administration for Market Regulation (市场监管总局) is vigorously promoting the efficient handling of credit repair as "one matter." According to statistics, as of the end of March this year, a cumulative total of 47.9224 million business entities have had their credit restored.
Credit repair provides an opportunity for dishonest enterprises to reshape their credit, helping them to unload their "dishonest baggage," re-participate in market competition, and restore and increase market transaction opportunities.
With the introduction of a series of institutional measures, more business entities are enjoying the benefits of credit repair policies. In March last year, the National Unified Platform for Market Regulation Credit Repair was built, realizing "unified entry, remote repair," and through cross-provincial data transmission channels, allowing "data to run more, and the public to run less," greatly improving efficiency and saving business entities time and economic costs.
Market regulatory authorities will promote the early introduction of two national standards, "Format Requirements for Credit Repair Materials of Business Entities" and "Evaluation Guidelines for the Effectiveness of Credit Repair of Business Entities," to build a standardized, efficient, fair, and predictable credit repair environment for enterprises.

A company that has been digging "clods of earth" for nearly 70 years has now started engaging in data transactions and artificial intelligence. This transformation is taking place in Chaoyang District (朝阳区), Beijing (北京).
Yellowed blueprints, handwritten reports, old storage hard drives... Stepping into the Beijing Institute of Surveying and Mapping Design Co., Ltd. (北京城建勘测设计研究院有限责任公司), located in Chaoyang District (朝阳区), rows of filing cabinets are packed full.
"In the past, we could only stare blankly, guarding a 'gold mine' that we couldn't use," said Gao Tao (高涛), the chief engineer. These archives come from more than 50 cities, including Beijing (北京), and hundreds of subway lines, "with over 12 million extension meters of survey data."
Digital intelligence empowerment allows the sealed data to "move." The company sorted out the paper survey data, created a survey big data cloud platform, and then successfully "awakened" the data in the filing cabinets through a series of procedures such as confirmation of rights, compliance, and desensitization. In the end, it not only obtained the data asset registration certificate from the Beijing International Big Data Exchange (北京国际大数据交易所), but also reached in-depth cooperation with a scientific research institute.
"What we sell is not just data, but also services," said Gao Tao (高涛). Based on decades of accumulated survey data, the company has independently developed the "Survey Geotechnical Industry Large Model," which can realize geological data retrieval, predict urban groundwater levels, and other functions. "In the past, to predict the groundwater level change in a certain area, it was necessary to retrieve monitoring data from multiple units and spend a lot of time on modeling and analysis. Now, you only need to enter the specific location, and you can get a visual result in a few minutes."
To make the data usable, it must be allowed to "run." For a long time, cross-border data flow has been a difficult problem. Many companies are deterred by the large number of compliance declaration materials, long processes, and high costs.
In October 2024, the Beijing Chaoyang International Data Cross-border Service Hub (北京朝阳国际数据跨境服务枢纽) was launched. This service platform, supported by the Chaoyang District Committee (朝阳区委) and District Government (区政府) and invested and constructed by Jingmin Shuke (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (京闽数科（北京）有限公司), can intelligently classify and identify enterprise data according to the important data identification directory and related standards issued by the competent industry department, automatically determine the declaration path, and generate declaration materials with one click.
The ultrasonic medical image data of the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University (首都医科大学附属北京妇产医院) needs to be sent abroad for international scientific research cooperation. "Through our service, the other party met the requirements with the first submission of materials, and the filing time was reduced from 7 working days to 5 working days," said Huang Wendan (黄文丹), director of the Data Element Center of Jingmin Shuke (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (京闽数科（北京）有限公司). After the hub was put into use, the overall service efficiency of cross-border data business increased by more than 40%.
After revitalizing the stock and clearing the blockages, it is also necessary to install a "smart brain" for the data. In Hengtong International Business Park (恒通国际商务园), Chaoyang District (朝阳区), Lei Jian (雷健), vice president of Beijing Lingyi Gongruan Technology Co., Ltd. (北京领翼工软科技有限公司), sat in front of the computer. As a design drawing of an auto part was imported, an analysis report was quickly generated on the screen. Whether the design is compliant and where the problems are are clearly marked.
Industrial drawings are a key link connecting design and manufacturing. An ordinary car has thousands of parts design drawings. "Traditional manual review is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires experienced experts," said Lei Jian (雷健). Their self-developed "Yangmei Industry (杨梅工业)" platform can not only "understand" various industrial drawings, but also be online 24 hours a day.
The "Yangmei Industry (杨梅工业)" platform has gathered more than 1.6 billion industrial data, covering 41 major categories of the national economy. "Adhering to open source and co-construction, the platform's more than 12,000 registered users have developed more than 1,000 industrial intelligent entities," said Lei Jian (雷健). "Each intelligent entity is essentially a digital service that can be subscribed to, called, and customized."
Digital intelligence empowerment promotes the expansion and quality improvement of the service industry; the high-quality development of the service industry also attracts more high-quality enterprises. Beijing Digital Economy Computing Center (北京数字经济算力中心), Beijing International Big Data Exchange (北京国际大数据交易所), Beijing Data Group (北京数据集团)... On March 30 this year, the World Data Organization (世界数据组织) also chose to settle in Chaoyang District (朝阳区). Data shows that in the first quarter of this year, the service industry in Chaoyang District (朝阳区) achieved an added value of 231.18 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.3%.
"We are making every effort to build a data business district," said Wu Xiaojie (吴小杰), Secretary of the Chaoyang District Committee (朝阳区委). "We will identify our own positioning, clarify development goals, explore development paths, and strive to promote the clustered development of the data element industry with greater efforts and more practical measures, and accelerate the construction of a data service highland with international competitiveness."
Reporter's Note
Seeking Incremental Growth from Existing Assets, Turning Bottlenecks into Highlights
Expanding and improving the quality of the service industry easily falls into the inertia of "doing addition." The practice of Chaoyang District (朝阳区), Beijing (北京), provides another perspective.
Transforming existing assets into the soil for new business forms. The data and experience accumulated by traditional industries for many years are rich mines worth exploring. Letting dormant resources "speak" and deriving new services such as data services and knowledge services from a single business, old trees have sprouted new branches. The thicker the stock, the more prosperous the new business forms, and the space for expansion is at your feet.
Turning bottlenecks into service highlights. Difficulties such as cross-border data flow seem to be obstacles, but in fact they are entry points for innovation. Without detours or waiting, transforming complex processes into standardized and intelligent professional services, the threshold becomes a magnet, and the improvement of efficiency comes naturally.
New business forms require new services, but what is needed is not an "online version" of old services, but a fundamental reshaping of service forms. From a "one-to-one" project system that relies on expert experience to a "many-to-many" platform-based supply that can be subscribed to, called, and customized, service is no longer a one-shot deal, but a continuous value bond.
Seeking incremental growth from existing assets and turning bottlenecks into the focus of innovation, there is great potential for high-quality development of the service industry.

"This is the new 'Kuai Da' (快大) strain we are cultivating. The shrimp grow faster and stronger, and it has now entered the pilot testing phase." At the Southern Base of the National 863 Program Marine Aquaculture Seed Project on Donghai Island (东海岛) in Zhanjiang (湛江) City, Guangdong (广东) Province, Chen Yibin (陈奕彬), director of the Hengxing Group (恒兴集团) Aquatic Seed and Breeding Research Institute, the operator, said, pointing to the shrimp seedlings in the workshop.
Arriving at the base, the reporter realized that many of the whiteleg shrimp commonly found in supermarkets and on dining tables originate here. It is said that many shrimp farmers would rather leave their ponds empty than wait for the shrimp seedlings from here. Is it really that magical? The reporter came to the shrimp pond of Song Kaichuang (宋开创), a farmer in Leizhou (雷州) City, Zhanjiang (湛江), to find the answer.
The blue waves rippled gently, and the aerator stirred up layers of water. "This batch of shrimp seedlings has been in the pond for more than 50 days, and they are growing very well." Song Kaichuang (宋开创), who has been farming shrimp for more than 10 years, has already developed a 火眼金睛 (huǒ yǎn jīn jīng - "fiery golden eyes," to have penetrating insight).
In the early years of shrimp farming, Song Kaichuang (宋开创) was not so calm and relaxed – most of the shrimp seedlings placed in the pond came from overseas. "They were expensive and not necessarily good. When luck was bad, a year's harvest was wasted." At that time, China's whiteleg shrimp broodstock relied almost entirely on imports.
To break the deadlock, it was necessary to have its own shrimp seed "chip." In 2002, the base chose to purchase broodstock from around the world and test and screen them generation by generation. In 2011, "Zhongxing No. 1" (中兴1号) was selected and bred, becoming China's first disease-resistant whiteleg shrimp new variety. In 2024, the "Zhongxing No. 2" (中兴2号), which is resistant to Vibrio, passed the national review. This time, the breeding "navigation system" debuted – molecular marker-assisted breeding, which can lock in disease-resistant individuals from the gene level in advance.
"'Zhongxing No. 1' (中兴1号) is resistant to acute virus, and 'Zhongxing No. 2' (中兴2号) is resistant to Vibrio parahaemolyticus. They are complementary 'brothers'," Chen Yibin (陈奕彬) introduced, while the "Kuai Da" (快大) strain being tackled aims at how shrimp can grow better and stronger.
Moving from the laboratory to the shrimp pond is far from the end.
"Good seedlings must also be well raised." Mo Juejun (莫爵君), vice president of Hengxing Group (恒兴集团), is in charge of the seedling business and is busy running to the pond every day.
Some farmers adopted fish-shrimp mixed farming, but the farming effect was not good after putting in "Zhongxing No. 1" (中兴1号) shrimp seedlings. Mo Juejun (莫爵君) rushed to the scene and found that the golden pomfret were released at the wrong time, and the shrimp seedlings became the fish's "snacks." "This is terrible!" Mo Juejun (莫爵君) immediately helped the shrimp farmers adjust the plan, allowing the shrimp seedlings to be isolated and grown up before returning to the pond. After adjusting the mixed farming sequence, the farming effect was significantly improved.
"We provide not only seedlings, but also a full-chain service to ensure good seedlings produce good shrimp," said Mo Juejun (莫爵君). The feedback from the market end must continuously flow back to the R&D end to form a closed loop of "breeding, propagation, and promotion."
The effectiveness of the "chip" is ultimately written on the account books at the pond. "In the past, the output of each mu of shrimp pond was only more than 100 jin at most." Song Kaichuang (宋开创) calculated an account, and now using "Zhongxing No. 1" (中兴1号), raising 4 rounds a year, the output of each mu of shrimp pond is stable at more than 500 jin. Last year, when shrimp prices fell, his family's 320 mu of shrimp ponds still had a profit of more than 2.5 million yuan.
Song Kaichuang's (宋开创) story is not an isolated case. In 2025, the base will select 100,000 pairs of parent shrimp annually. Hengxing Group (恒兴集团) produced 20 billion shrimp seedlings, and sales doubled from the previous year, benefiting more than 16,000 farmers.
The more far-reaching impact is that through the "freshwater shrimp farming" technology, whiteleg shrimp have "swum" into freshwater fish ponds in Hunan (湖南), Hubei (湖北), Xinjiang (新疆) and other provinces, and have been served on the tables of more families, becoming the mainstream consumer shrimp species.
The pace of research and development has never stopped. At the base, new "chip" sequences are being extended: the artificial breeding of Grouper of the Ganon strain has been realized, and key breakthroughs have been made in the unisexual breeding of red claw crayfish...
From relying on imports to independent research and development, from solving the problem of "having or not" to aiming at "Kuai Da" (快大), from saltwater sea areas to inland ponds, from a shrimp seedling to the aquatic family, Zhanjiang (湛江) is constantly polishing the "Chinese chip" of the blue seed industry.

Loading ore, turning, decelerating, and stopping – the entire operation is seamless, yet the driver's cab is empty.
Thousands of meters away, in an intelligent central control room above ground, the locomotive's transportation status is displayed in real-time on the screen. Through the track-bound unmanned driving underground automatic dispatch system, Mei Songbo (梅松波), a former electric locomotive driver and now an operator, is monitoring the switch status information: when the locomotive approaches, the corresponding virtual switch icon on the screen turns green and switches automatically.
"In the past, switching the points required the cooperation of the electric locomotive driver and the switchman, but now it can be done by operating the handle and other buttons," said Mei Songbo (梅松波). In the past, working underground tested a person's driving skills: the right hand controlled the gears, and the left hand constantly tugged at the insulated hemp rope to adjust the pantograph on the roof, ensuring it was always in contact with the overhead wire. "The overhead wire is not straight. When the roadway turns, the overhead wire also turns, so the hand has to turn with it, and the mind must be highly focused," said Mei Songbo (梅松波).
The pain point is also the starting point for change. In 2018, in order to better ensure the safety of underground workers, improve the working environment, and increase efficiency, Longshou Mine (龙首矿) explored introducing unmanned driving technology into underground operations.
Soon, unmanned electric locomotives were introduced underground. It was easy to get them running, but difficult to use them well. The WiFi communication technology used at that time had a short transmission distance and small bandwidth, and the signal attenuated severely in the winding roadways. The returned video had a delay of up to one or two seconds. "One or two seconds is enough for an electric locomotive to run out of control for 3 to 5 meters, which is too risky," said Zhao Peng (赵鹏), director and Party branch secretary of the Jinchuan Nickel-Cobalt Longshou Mine (金川镍钴龙首矿) Transportation Work Area.
Not only electric locomotives, but also an increasing number of underground sensors and video points, are placing higher demands on communication. Real-time display of images, timely sending of instructions, simultaneous operation of multiple electric locomotives... The overlapping demands exceeded the carrying capacity of traditional WiFi. In March 2020, the Longshou Mine (龙首矿) technical team, together with relevant communication technology companies, launched a technical breakthrough.
"At that time, 5G wireless communication technology was just emerging in the industrial field, and the Gansu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology (甘肃省工信厅) was soliciting application scenarios for 5G technology throughout the province – low latency and high bandwidth, which exactly matched our needs," said Zhao Peng (赵鹏).
Civilian-grade 5G networks "suffered from acclimatization" as soon as they went underground. When using 5G networks to watch videos in daily life, the base station transmits video data to the mobile phone, and downlink data dominates. Electric locomotives are the opposite. The real-time images and vehicle operation control signals from underground are uploaded to the central control room, and the demand for data uplink is greater.
After repeatedly consulting materials, conducting network testing, and selecting and debugging vehicle-mounted terminals, the technical team reallocated the transmission ratio of uplink and downlink data, and opened up an exclusive "signal channel" for electric locomotive communication... In 2020, the first electric locomotive equipped with a 5G communication system was put into trial operation.
People don't have to go underground, and the electric locomotives run even faster. "When an electric locomotive pulls a mining car, it can only go forward and cannot turn around. In the past, when it arrived at the loading and unloading point, it had to walk to the driver's cab at the other end to drive. One loading and one unloading, a lot of tossing around, takes 10 minutes more per trip. Now, the power car can be automatically switched through the system, increasing efficiency by 20%," said Mei Songbo (梅松波).
From "following the car underground" to "remote control above ground," traditional mining operations are gradually changing due to technology. But going from opening to operating well is not always smooth sailing.
"At first, I really didn't adapt," said Mei Songbo (梅松波). In the past, in the driver's cab, turning and braking relied on the body's feedback, which was very intuitive. After switching to remote operation, the reaction was "half a beat slower" at first. When loading ore, the misalignment was a few centimeters, and half a car of ore would spill out. In order to adapt to the new way of working, Mei Songbo (梅松波) and his colleagues worked hard to understand the relationship between control commands and equipment response, and gradually figured out the tricks.
Starting from the first "5G + unmanned driving electric locomotive," Longshou Mine (龙首矿) has become an incubator for intelligent mine solutions based on the communication technology built on it: underground, "5G + artificial intelligence" image recognition technology enables precise alignment of ore discharging machines and mining cars; on the surface, the "digital twin" platform based on 5G technology incorporates the entire process of mine operation into visual management. With the help of the 5G communication network, heating time throughout the mine can be controlled on demand, and intelligent inspection robots are also online. The once single unmanned driving scenario has grown into an intelligent base supporting mine safety, operation and maintenance, and dispatch.
Mei Songbo's (梅松波) workmates have also taken on new positions. The operating experience accumulated by electric locomotive drivers underground over a long period of time has become a bridge connecting new technologies and application scenarios. Some of them have entered the central control room to be responsible for monitoring and dispatching, and some have participated in equipment maintenance and parameter optimization.
After operating, Mei Songbo (梅松波) took a sip of freshly brewed tea. The warm tea refreshed and quenched his thirst. The sunlight shone through the window of the control room and onto his desk. "In the past, when I was underground, how could I see the sun? In addition, the driver's cab was narrow and bumpy, and liquid spills would burn out the equipment, so I didn't even dare to drink a sip of water during transportation." The ordinary scenery in the office – a cup of hot tea and a ray of sunshine – has extraordinary significance for him and his workmates.
"The underground experience of me and my workmates will allow new technologies to be better implemented, and new technologies have also improved our working environment. I believe that a more intelligent mine will make our lives more promising," said Mei Songbo (梅松波).

A highway facilitates people's travel, an energy storage power station injects power into the clean energy transition, and a sea area nurtures the blue hope of sustainable development... In Namibia, from the smooth opening of the new Windhoek (温得和克) Airport Highway to the steady progress of the Omburu (奥姆布鲁) energy storage project, and the booming development of the Walvis Bay (鲸湾港) oyster farming industry, Chinese enterprises are combining development concepts, advanced technologies, and local needs to help Namibia improve its infrastructure level, optimize its energy structure, and cultivate emerging industries. These projects have brought tangible development dividends to the local area, writing a new chapter of mutual benefit, win-win cooperation, and common development.
Windhoek (温得和克) New Airport Highway Project—
"The safety and efficiency of the road have been greatly improved"
Starting from Hosea Kutako International Airport (霍齐亚·库塔科国际机场) in the far suburbs of Windhoek (温得和克), the car drives onto a newly completed highway. The road surface has become a two-way four-lane road, and the vehicle is driving smoothly. On both sides of the highway, many engineering vehicles are carrying out greening operations.
This highway, constructed by a Chinese enterprise (see picture, provided by China Railway Seventh Group), connects Hosea Kutako International Airport (霍齐亚·库塔科国际机场) with Windhoek (温得和克) city center, with a total length of about 45 kilometers, and was completed and opened to traffic in November 2025. It is understood that the entire highway is divided into 3 sections, which are respectively constructed by China Railway Seventh Group Co., Ltd. (中铁七局集团有限公司), AVIC International Complete Equipment Co., Ltd. (中航国际成套设备有限公司), and Jiangxi Zhongmei Construction Group Co., Ltd. (江西中煤建设集团有限公司).
In less than half an hour, the reporter arrived in Windhoek (温得和克) city center. "Before the highway opened to traffic, it usually took more than 1 hour to drive from the airport to the city center. If we encountered peak hours, we would most likely be stuck on the road, not knowing when we could return to the city center," local driver Lucas told reporters. "After the highway opened to traffic, picking up and dropping off passengers at the airport has become my favorite job, because this section of the road is very smooth to drive."
"The new airport highway project is located on the western ring road of Windhoek (温得和克) and is a key section of the capital's ring road expressway," said Yang Haitao (杨海涛), country head of China Railway Seventh Group (中铁七局集团) in Namibia. Since construction began, the three Chinese companies have closely cooperated to overcome challenges such as tight construction schedules, complex construction conditions, and a shortage of soil and stone resources to ensure the smooth progress of the project. During the construction period, the project provided approximately 850 jobs for the local area, driving 54 local companies to participate in the construction, promoting employment while promoting technology transfer.
Felisa Futolela (费莉萨·福托莱拉), 39, is a safety supervisor for the new airport highway project. When the reporter met her, she had just completed a road section inspection. "In the past, there were many potholes on this road, and the safety signs were not conspicuous enough. Now, the road is smooth and open, the safety signs are clear and standardized, and the safety and efficiency of the road have been greatly improved," said Futolela (福托莱拉). "Chinese companies focus on construction efficiency and quality, which sets an example for road construction in Namibia."
Namibian Minister of Works and Transport, Vekho Nekundi (韦科·内昆迪), said that the new airport highway project is a key project for the Namibian government to promote the "Unity Prosperity Plan" and achieve the "National Development Vision 2030" transportation goals, which has effectively improved the level of regional interconnection and promoted trade and urban revitalization.
Omburu (奥姆布鲁) Energy Storage Project—
"Effectively alleviate the load pressure on the Namibian power grid"
When the reporter arrived near the Namibian National Power Company substation in the suburbs of Omaruru (奥马鲁鲁), more than a hundred local workers were working enthusiastically on the construction site. This is the first grid-side energy storage project undertaken by a Chinese enterprise in Namibia—the Omburu (奥姆布鲁) Energy Storage Project.
In 2023, the Namibian National Power Company signed a contract for the Omburu (奥姆布鲁) Energy Storage Project with a consortium of Shandong Electrical Engineering & Equipment Group Co., Ltd. (山东电工电气集团有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "Shandong Electrical Engineering") under China Electrical Equipment and Zhejiang Narada Power Source Co., Ltd. (浙江南都电源动力股份有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "Zhejiang Narada"). Shandong Electrical Engineering is responsible for project construction and operation and maintenance, and Zhejiang Narada provides energy storage equipment such as battery energy storage units and power conversion units. The project officially started in April 2024. Currently, the construction team is working overtime to achieve project delivery and commercial operation in the second quarter of this year.
According to project manager Chu Xiaomeng (楚晓猛), the grid-side energy storage project is an energy storage facility directly connected to the public power grid. Its core function is to serve the overall safety and operating efficiency of the power system, rather than a single power generation or power consumption entity. "As the proportion of new energy in Namibia's energy structure continues to increase, grid-side energy storage projects can release electricity to the grid during peak electricity consumption periods and provide peak shaving and stable support for renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, effectively alleviating the load pressure on the Namibian power grid."
At the construction site, rows of energy storage containers are neatly arranged. "As Namibia's first grid-side energy storage project, its designed energy storage capacity is 51 megawatt-hours, of which core equipment such as battery energy storage units and power conversion units are all from Chinese companies. Currently, these devices are being shipped to the project site in batches through the Namibian West Walvis Bay (西鲸湾港)," said Jin Bei (金贝), general manager of Shandong Electrical Engineering (山东电工) in Africa. While supplying equipment, Chinese companies have held multiple professional training courses to ensure that local employees systematically master the maintenance skills of energy storage equipment.
"China has mature technology and application experience in the energy storage battery industry chain. The professionalism and high efficiency of Chinese companies are admirable. These are the two major advantages we value when choosing partners," said Fred Bailey (弗雷德·贝利), owner representative of the Omburu (奥姆布鲁) Energy Storage Project and project engineer of the Namibian National Power Company. According to Namibia's national energy development plan, the country plans to increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power generation structure from 30% to 70% by 2030. "The implementation of the energy storage project will significantly improve our flexibility in power supply and demand management and better integrate renewable energy power generation capacity. We hope to cooperate with more Chinese partners to promote power system modernization and clean energy transition," said Fred Bailey (弗雷德·贝利).
Walvis Bay (鲸湾港) Oyster Farming Project—
"Bring sustainable scientific farming techniques"
On the coastal mudflats of Walvis Bay (鲸湾港) in Namibia, large areas of salt fields are separated by straight dikes. In the center of the lagoon, flocks of flamingos wade and forage. In the nearshore waters, the buoys and farming racks of the oyster farm rise and fall slightly with the waves. The oyster farming base of Beijing Gaoke Energy Investment Co., Ltd. (北京高科能源投资有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "Beijing Gaoke") is located here.
At the oyster seedling breeding base next to the salt fields, workers wearing waterproof rubber clothing slowly push the buoys containing oyster seedlings into the breeding pond and arrange them neatly. "In Namibia, we use salt field farming methods to cultivate oyster seedlings. After cultivation, these oyster seedlings will be sent to nearshore waters," said Shi Liwei (师立伟), head of the Beijing Gaoke (北京高科) Namibia oyster farming project. "Affected by the cold current of the South Atlantic, the seawater around Walvis Bay (鲸湾港) is rich in oxygen and plankton, with stable salinity and extremely low pollution, making it one of the ideal oyster farming waters. Here, oysters only need 8 to 10 months to reach the export specifications of more than 40 grams, which is half the farming time compared to some other oyster producing areas."
The reporter noticed that, unlike other local oyster farming bases that use discarded plastic bottles to cultivate oyster seedlings, this base uniformly uses special net cages. "Using plastic bottles to cultivate oyster seedlings not only causes marine pollution, but also may lead to unstable oyster seedling cultivation quality. We purchased special seedling breeding net cages from China, which allows oyster seedlings to be cultivated intensively and on a large scale, with a higher survival rate and more stable output," said Shi Liwei (师立伟). Currently, the company's monthly oyster production can reach 500,000, and combined with cold chain technology, it can not only meet the procurement needs of Namibian domestic supermarkets and catering companies, but also export to markets in Europe, America, the Middle East, and Asia.
Paula (宝拉), 43, has been working here since 2008. Her job is to check the cultivation of oyster seedlings and then arrange to salvage oysters from the base according to orders. "From special net cages to cold chain technology, Chinese companies have brought sustainable scientific farming techniques to the local area," said Paula (宝拉).
At the oyster packaging plant located in the Walvis Bay (鲸湾港) city center, workers are sorting, packaging, and loading oysters in an orderly manner. "Currently, we are in close communication with some domestic companies, hoping to introduce oyster selection and automatic cleaning and sorting systems based on artificial intelligence technology," said Zhu Jing (朱静), general manager of Beijing Gaoke (北京高科) Overseas Company. China has advantages in production automation and intelligence, and these technologies can empower Namibia's seafood farming industry and help the local industry develop and prosper.

Any military adventure by Japan that attempts to challenge the post-war order and undermine regional stability will ultimately be opposed by all countries in the region and is destined to fail.
Recently, the Japanese government held its first expert meeting to promote the revision of the "Three Security Documents." Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) recklessly stated at the meeting that the revision of the "Three Security Documents" is an important task that determines the fate of the country, and that it is necessary to promote responses to "new types of combat methods" and prepare for long-term wars, as well as promote maritime security capabilities, cybersecurity, and economic security.
Recently, Japan's "new militarism" has been constantly making reckless moves. The Japan Self-Defense Forces (自卫队) dispatched more than 1,000 troops to participate in the "Shoulder-to-Shoulder" joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines, marking the first time since World War II that Japan has landed a combat force in the Philippines to participate in a military exercise with a complete organizational structure. During the exercise, Type 88 shore-based anti-ship missiles were used for live firing. The Japanese government formally revised the "Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment" and its operational guidelines, announcing a significant relaxation of restrictions on the export of defense equipment. As a defeated country in World War II, Japan should have strictly adhered to its commitment to peace and learned from historical lessons. However, it is now vigorously promoting the outward expansion of its military power. A series of dangerous actions seriously undermine regional peace and stability and are an open provocation to the post-war international order.
In 2022, Japan adopted three documents, the "National Security Strategy" (国家安全保障战略), the "National Defense Strategy" (国家防卫战略), and the "Defense Force Development Plan" (防卫力量整备计划), collectively referred to as the "Three Security Documents." Since taking office, Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) has accelerated the expansion of armaments, significantly increased defense spending, started to revise the "Three Security Documents," deployed long-range missiles with "attack enemy base capabilities," and attempted to revise the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles."
For a long time, constrained by Japan's "Peace Constitution," the overseas transfer of Japanese defense equipment has been strictly limited to non-offensive categories such as rescue, transportation,警戒, surveillance, and mine clearance. Recently, Japan has significantly relaxed restrictions on arms exports, widening the restriction framework to "in principle, all defense equipment can be transferred," and using excuses such as "severe security environment" and "mutual support between partner countries" to cover up. This approach superficially holds up the banner of "exclusively defense-oriented," but in reality, it uses the name of peace to expand its military and constantly hollows out the post-war peace system. The large-scale deployment of combat troops to the Philippines and the open practice of live firing of offensive weapons are the latest concrete evidence that Japan is trying to break free from the legal constraints on defeated countries and accelerate the outward projection of its military power.
The evil consequences of Japan's "new militarist" adventurous actions are beginning to appear. First, Japan openly breaks through the clear constraints of the post-war international order on its military development, downplays the legal and moral responsibilities that defeated countries should bear, and seriously impacts the foundation of the post-war international order. The "Charter of the United Nations" and Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution both impose rigid constraints on Japan's military development, but now they are being arbitrarily dismantled and are almost a formality. The international community has to be highly vigilant about the real risk of it repeating historical mistakes and becoming a source of turmoil in East Asia again. Second, military adventurism continues to fuel the arrogance of extreme right-wing forces in Japan, right-leaning public opinion continues to suppress rational anti-war voices, and militaristic ideas are resurfacing, laying deep-seated hidden dangers for regional peace. Third, Japan is deepening military ties with individual countries in the region, and is also carrying out cross-regional coordinated linkage with NATO, continuously importing unstable and uncertain factors into East Asia, significantly increasing the risk of regional conflict and confrontation, and undermining the overall situation of regional peace and stability.
What is even more alarming is that Japan is stubbornly regressing in its historical understanding and is stepping up its military expansion. Sanae Takaichi (高市早苗) recently offered sacrifices and ritual fees to the Yasukuni Shrine (靖国神社), which enshrines 14 Class A war criminals from World War II. The Yasukuni Shrine (靖国神社) has always been a spiritual tool and symbol of Japanese militarism's external aggression. This move reflects Japan's serious deviation in its historical understanding and runs counter to the international community's basic consensus on the history of aggression, exposing its deeply ingrained erroneous view of history.
On the one hand, it exaggerates so-called "external threats" and creates a tense atmosphere; on the other hand, it strengthens external military intervention through joint military exercises and defense exports—the essence of this approach is to make a fuss about a topic and comprehensively relax restrictions on its own military expansion. The status of a defeated country gives Japan the obligation to reflect and exercise restraint. What Japan is doing today is an open betrayal of this obligation and a barbaric trampling on this barrier. The regression of historical understanding and the adventurism of military actions are intertwined with each other. Japan's accelerated "remilitarization" is an undeniable established fact. This process has both a clear route design and continuous implementation actions, posing a direct threat to the Asia-Pacific peace order.
The historical lessons are not far away: In the past, Japanese militarism's barbaric expansion abroad brought untold suffering to Asian countries, and ultimately caused Japan itself to swallow bitter fruits. As a defeated country, Japan not only does not reflect on its mistakes, but insists on breaking through the constraints of the post-war system, continuously promoting military adventures, and provoking regional confrontation, which will not only ruin its own development achievements over the past few decades, but also seriously provoke the post-war international order. All countries that cherish peace in the Asia-Pacific region should maintain a clear understanding of Japan's "new militarism" and must not ignore or condone it. Any military adventure that attempts to challenge the post-war order and undermine regional stability will ultimately be opposed by all countries in the region and is destined to fail.

The summer wind caresses Venice (威尼斯), the Italian city of water, and the blue waves ripple in the sunlight.
On May 8th, the opening ceremony of the China Pavilion exhibition at the 61st Venice International Art Biennale was held here. Artworks from China meet the world's artistic trends here, blooming with a unique brilliance that blends tradition and modernity, art and technology.
The China Pavilion exhibition is hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China (中国文化和旅游部) and curated by the China Academy of Art (中国美术学院). Yu Xuhong (余旭红), curator of the China Pavilion and president of the China Academy of Art, introduced that the theme of the China Pavilion, "Mengxi (梦溪)," is taken from "Dream Pool Essays (梦溪笔谈)" by Shen Kuo (沈括) of the Northern Song Dynasty, echoing the "Foreigners Everywhere" theme of this year's Venice International Art Biennale. It uses flowing poetry and profound philosophical thinking to tell the story of the vitality of Eastern culture in the digital age, and to showcase the tension and warmth of art in the age of artificial intelligence.
The Arsenal Garden (军械库花园) where the China Pavilion is located is covered with lush green grass. Outdoors, the large-scale sculpture installation "Symbiosis (共生)" created by Xu Jiang (许江), Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles (中国文联), is eye-catching: the bronze shapes of drought-resistant sunflowers and aquatic lotuses are intertwined and look up. The water-scarce sunflowers and the water-rich lotuses transcend their respective attributes and coexist and prosper here. The reflection of the sun layers their images, as if the Mengxi (梦溪) is rippling, with profound meaning.
Inside the China Pavilion, numerous works complement each other, jointly constructing an immersive art world. Calligrapher Wang Dongling's (王冬龄) huge cursive script "Xiaoyao You (逍遥游)" is 6.5 meters high and 16 meters wide, with vigorous strokes and a majestic momentum. The "Black Myth: Wukong (黑神话：悟空)" series of works—the "Destined One (天命人)" sculpture, game videos, hand-drawn originals, and animated short films—showcase the international expression of Chinese stories.
In a corner of the exhibition hall, a calligraphy robot attracts many visitors. People lined up to wait for it to "wield the brush" on the spot. This robot, jointly developed by the China Academy of Art (中国美术学院) and a Chinese enterprise, accurately captures Wang Dongling's (王冬龄) unique brushstrokes and charm—the flexible robotic arm dips in ink, lands on the paper, and moves the brush, completing the characters "Meng (梦)" and "Xi (溪)" in one go. Ksenija, a theatrical stage designer from Serbia, holding the written character "Meng (梦)," told reporters that she is very interested in Chinese culture and did not expect Chinese characters to reach such a transcendent artistic realm. She will frame this calligraphy and hang it on the wall at home.
Biennale di Venezia President Pietrangelo Buttafuoco (布塔福科) gave a high evaluation of the China Pavilion. He said that the theme "Mengxi (梦溪)" is like a door, leading the audience into the Eastern visual and cognitive system, "This pavilion adds a new footnote to the cultural exchange between Italy and China." Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini (萨尔维尼) said during his visit to the China Pavilion that the China Pavilion exhibition is very wonderful, reflecting both China's history and culture and showcasing China's future.
During the opening of the China Pavilion, Chinese and foreign artists and critics participating in this year's Biennale also held a seminar at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts (威尼斯美术学院) to explore the development of Chinese art. Fan Di'an (范迪安), Chairman of the China Artists Association (中国美术家协会), said that contemporary Chinese art, through the Venice Biennale platform, has shown the world a development trend of keeping pace with the times, inheriting and innovating, and embodies the cultural feelings of dialogue with the world and telling Chinese stories well. The exhibitions of previous China Pavilions have focused on selecting works based on Chinese cultural concepts and reflecting realistic concerns in their planning, constructing a distinct Chinese context in the entire Biennale, and embodying the Chinese expression of international common topics.
Andrea Gurciullo (安德烈亚·古尔丘), Professor Emeritus of Art History at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan (米兰布雷拉美术学院), recalled the shock he received from visiting the China Pavilion several times in an interview with reporters. Gurciullo said that the kaleidoscopic artistic language of the China Pavilion fits the "crossroads of multiculturalism" characteristic of the Biennale, and also systematically embodies profound values such as harmonious coexistence. Chinese artists combine cutting-edge technology with traditional poetry to show the world the powerful vitality of Chinese art.

The "15th Five-Year Plan" outline proposes: "Promote high-quality urban renewal, carry out urban physical examinations, accelerate the construction of complete communities, and improve the implementation mechanism of urban renewal."
Urban physical examinations, as an important foundational work for accurately identifying problems and implementing urban renewal, are an innovative measure to enhance urban governance capabilities and levels, and to build modern people's cities. Jiangsu (江苏) implements national requirements, constructs a physical examination system including planning evaluation, comprehensive physical examination, special physical examination, and daily inspection, comprehensively carries out urban physical examination and evaluation, establishes a work path of discovering problems, solving problems, evaluating effects, and consolidating improvements, and takes urban renewal as an important starting point to better promote high-quality urban development.
——Editor
Establish a physical examination indicator database and implement projects
In Wenti Community (文体社区), Mochou Lake Street (莫愁湖街道), Jianye District (建邺区), Nanjing (南京), Jiangsu (江苏), nostalgic slogans form wall art graffiti, red brick walls and cement walls form the facade of the community, and the old-fashioned art character signboards of the shops are lined up.
Wenti Community (文体社区) was once the largest concentrated residential community in Nanjing (南京) and the central area of the Nanhu (南湖) area. The 6-story contiguous residential buildings are representative of the "high-end community" in the memory of old Nanjing residents. However, with urban development, the scenery here is no longer.
In 2019, Nanjing (南京), as one of the first pilot cities for urban physical examinations by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, launched city-wide physical examination work and gradually formed a "comprehensive physical examination + block physical examination + special physical examination" system. The Nanhu (南湖) area was included in the second batch of urban renewal pilot projects in Nanjing (南京) and completed three phases of renewal based on urban physical examinations.
"On the basis of national and provincial basic indicators, Nanjing (南京) has added 46 local characteristic indicators, covering a total of 116 items in the fields of ecological livability, style characteristics, and innovative vitality," said Liu Fei (刘飞), deputy director of the Comprehensive Division of the Nanjing Municipal Urban and Rural Construction Committee (南京市城乡建设委员会). Since 2021, the renewal of the Nanhu (南湖) area has referred to urban physical examination indicators.
In the 2020 urban physical examination, it was found that the interface of the Nanhu (南湖) area was poor. Therefore, the first phase of renewal closely focused on the style characteristics of the area in the 1980s, taking Nanhu's (南湖) history and culture as clues, and retaining Nanhu's (南湖) memory and urban nostalgia in the renewal as before. In the 2021 urban physical examination, the community's problem was that there were few public spaces and many sanitary dead corners. To this end, the local government incorporated improving residents' quality of life into the renewal goals, repaired pocket parks, built a 60-meter-deep intelligent submerged well parking lot, and introduced new consumer formats. In the 2024 urban physical examination, the Nanhu (南湖) area, where the second phase of the project has been completed, was "physically examined" to find that the street style was not sufficiently integrated with the lifestyle of the area. In response to this problem, the project was included in the 2025 Nanjing (南京) Urban Renewal Implementation Plan project list as a continued project, and the third phase of micro-renewal was launched to create an old city life center of "cultural tourism + intangible cultural heritage experience + life services."
Walking into the previously idle former Nanhu No. 1 Middle School (南湖一中) teaching building, the Nanhu Memory Life Museum (南湖记忆生活博物馆) was built on the first floor. Inside, you can see old objects from the 1980s such as sewing machines and wall clocks, and listen to the community staff tell the historical stories of Nanhu (南湖). The second floor has opened painting studios, intangible cultural heritage experience halls, etc. Every weekend, it becomes a good place for parent-child activities for residents in the surrounding area.
12-year-old student Xiao Sun (小孙) often goes there with his family to participate in various community-organized public welfare activities. Some time ago, he also participated in a free coffee-making experience class with a total of 6 lessons at the museum's coffee shop.
Lu Yi (陆一), deputy director of the Nanjing Municipal Urban and Rural Construction Committee (南京市城乡建设委员会), introduced that Nanjing (南京) has built a closed loop of urban physical examination work of "discovering problems - rectification suggestions - project reserve - project approval - construction plan - supervision and promotion." The engineering project transformation suggestions formed by last year's urban physical examination, 41 mature projects have been included in this year's municipal and district-level urban construction plans and people's livelihood projects, and are being promoted and implemented.
"See" underground pipe networks and protect the city's lifeline
Urban physical examinations not only focus on the ground, but also go deep underground. The underground pipe network is densely packed with gas, heating, electricity, drainage and other systems, which are directly related to the lives and safety of the masses.
In Xuzhou (徐州), Jiangsu (江苏), the total length of underground gas pipelines reaches 11,000 kilometers. How to deal with gas safety risks?
On the large screen of the Xuzhou Jiawang Zhongran (徐州贾汪中燃) Production Operation and Dispatch Center, green light spots are constantly flashing. Staff introduced that each flashing point is a "Yunranbao (云燃保)" downhole sensing and control equipment. The upper part of the equipment is various sensors, and the lower part is a wrench-like device stuck on the gas valve. The equipment can monitor the temperature, humidity, water level and methane concentration in the gas well in real time. Once there is an abnormality, it can remotely send a valve closing command in as little as 30 seconds.
"It used to take 40 minutes by car to the farthest point for manual valve closing, but now the efficiency has been greatly improved," said Zhang Yang (张杨), staff member of the Supervision and Guarantee Center of the Xuzhou Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau (徐州市住房和城乡建设局).
The gas pipeline between the two devices relies on drones equipped with laser methane detectors for daily inspections. Xuzhou (徐州) has deployed 120 drone take-off and landing platforms to build a "full coverage, real-time monitoring, intelligent early warning, and coordinated disposal" comprehensive prevention and control system for gas safety risks.
Zhao Yue (赵越), deputy director of the Xuzhou Municipal Urban Management Bureau (徐州市城市管理局), introduced that in addition to the gas module, the Xuzhou (徐州) Urban Operation Management Service Platform is also equipped with water supply pipe burst, urban waterlogging, road collapse, bridge collapse, heat leakage, lighting leakage, third-party construction damage, and underground pipeline interaction risk scenarios, connecting the four major regulatory fields of "gardening and greening, municipal facilities, urban appearance and environmental sanitation, and comprehensive law enforcement," effectively improving the systematicness, accuracy, and coordination of urban safety governance.
New equipment empowers and daily inspections are more efficient
On the screen of the Suzhou (苏州), Jiangsu (江苏) Digital City Operation Management Center, you can observe a drone conducting daily inspections near the Sunan (苏南) section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal (京杭运河) in Zhonglu Village (中鲈村), Pingwang Town (平望镇), Wujiang District (吴江区). It flies along the canal, sometimes passing over transport ships in the canal, sometimes flying over the green spaces on both sides, and sometimes passing through the busy bridges.
The real-time returned picture is instantly analyzed by the center's large model to form a problem judgment: the bare soil on the construction site is not fully covered with nets, there are floating objects in the water...
"The relevant competent departments can also see these situations in a timely manner, and on-site disposal personnel can directly navigate to the precise location," said Xu Hao (徐浩), deputy director of the Suzhou (苏州) Digital City Operation Management Center. Since the construction of the "Comprehensive Fly Once" platform last year, the scattered drones of various departments and districts and cities have been integrated into the platform. A daily inspection route only needs to be flown once, and the daily inspection content of environmental protection, transportation, urban management and other departments can be collected, and uniformly analyzed by the large model of the Digital City Operation Management Center. The analysis results are simultaneously pushed to various functional departments.
Suzhou (苏州) has a heavy task of protecting the style of the ancient city. In addition to manual physical examiners, the daily physical examination of the streets and alleys is also exploring the use of new partners - robot dogs.
No. 32 Block (32号街坊) is densely packed with ancient buildings. In Jianjin Bridge Lane (剪金桥巷), a robot dog equipped with a panoramic camera is walking and conducting 360-degree panoramic inspections. It looks at the road surface for a while, looks at the light boxes on the wall for a while, and then climbs up the steps to look at the eaves.
This lane is narrow and can only accommodate express delivery electric vehicles. "The robot dog is small and flexible, and can enter areas with more environmental restrictions such as height and width," said Hu Nian (胡年), an engineer at Suzhou Famous City Protection Group (苏州名城保护集团). The technology relies on the No. 32 Block (32号街坊) Digital Management Platform, combining panoramic visual inspection technology with robot dogs, and can plan inspection routes for robot dogs according to different inspection tasks, clearly record problem images, and return data to the background, effectively making up for the shortcomings of manual inspections. In the future, it will continue to explore comprehensive analysis of the panoramic data collected by robot dog inspections to provide intelligent support for the physical examination of ancient city streets and alleys.
Chen Shi (陈实), deputy director of the Suzhou Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau (苏州市住房和城乡建设局), introduced that Suzhou (苏州) adheres to the principle of "physical examination first, then renewal," and systematically, regularly, and list-based carries out urban physical examination work, and has built a new model of urban planning, construction, and management guided by "discovering problems and solving problems." The next step will be to continue to promote "AI (artificial intelligence) +" to empower urban physical examinations, and realize automatic identification, efficient flow, and timely disposal of typical problems.

Some time ago, I received a letter from a college student reader, filled with the common confusion of young people. He wants to achieve something and has a lot of energy, but he doesn't know where to use it. The road ahead is long, and although he has read many books, he is still worried about not walking the road under his feet well. Whose youth has not had hesitation? Such confusion and seeking are deeply felt.
How to break through? The answer may be found in a recent popular online saying: "Build yourself like building a new China, and plan yourself like a five-year plan." At first, it sounds like an emotional expression, but on closer inspection, it is also a prelude to striving forward. The best stage to bloom youth is in the place where the motherland needs it most. Integrate personal struggle into the coordinates of the times, follow the direction of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, follow the deployment of the five-year plan, and you will not lose yourself in the great era, and you can make every drop of sweat fall into place.
Don't feel that the grand blueprint of the country is far away from you. Those bright development data cannot be separated from the dedication of hundreds of millions of young people. The total economic volume exceeds 140 trillion yuan, which is soaked in the hard sweat of countless young workers on the front line of the workshop. Grain output has stabilized at 1.4 trillion catties, imprinting the solid footprints of thousands of new farmers cultivating the fields. The ranking of the global innovation index has entered the top ten, echoing the bold vows of batches of young scientific and technological workers who bravely venture into the "no-man's land"... When you and I take the steps to strive for the first place, the convergence is the irresistible tide of national rejuvenation.
Integrating youth into national development also means embracing a broader world. Why did DeepSeek (深度求索) emerge suddenly? Riding the wave of building a strong country in science and technology, relying on the advantages of abundant talent resources, DeepSeek was able to form a scientific research team with more than 75% of the members being post-90s, and "kill" a way out. How did "Chang'e Lunar Exploration" (嫦娥揽月) come true today? Following the pace of building a strong country in aerospace, supported by the new type of national system, the scientific research team with an average age of more than 30 years old can coordinate the national high-quality scientific research resources and "insert" the five-star red flag on the moon step by step. With "hard power" and rooted in the "hardcore" platform, can we bear "hard" results.
"This year is the opening year of the '15th Five-Year Plan', and it is the right time for young people to make contributions." The earnest expectations of General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) point out the way forward for every young person who is striving forward. Being able to be on the same road as the construction of a strong country and participating in the great cause of national rejuvenation with the youth, this is the glory given by the times, and it is also the important task delivered by history.
Looking ahead, the century-old changes are accelerating, and risks and challenges are intertwined and superimposed. But changes contain opportunities, and challenges stimulate fighting spirit. What is most valuable about youth is not that spirit of 初生牛犊不怕虎 (chū shēng niú dú bù pà hǔ - "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers," young people are fearless and daring)? The more storms come, the more the true colors of youth are seen. The place where the storm is the fiercest is precisely the stage for "Nezha to stir up the sea" and "soar into the sky."
Facing the "bottleneck" of seed sources, Li Hongbo (李宏博), a post-95s professor, is deeply involved in the forefront of breeding, promoting the subversive change of potatoes from "tuber propagation" to "seed propagation." Aiming at technological monopoly, Cai Yingpeng (蔡颖鹏), the founder of In-Time Robotics, has devoted himself to 10 years of research, and the fully self-developed "dexterous hand" leads the world. Not accepting defeat, not giving up, and not being afraid of hardship, today's young people, with the spirit of "self-confidence, self-improvement, and high spirits," can gnaw out tooth marks even on the hardest bones, and can cross even the most dangerous passes.
Hard work is the unrepentant attitude of youth. I still remember the end of the reader's letter, the student chose to go to the grassroots level, stationed in the village to practice, and found the answer to responsibility in practice, which is moving. Take action and transform the surging passion into solid progress, which is the best response to confusion and the best nourishment for growth.
"This era is precisely the era of young people." Today, the needs of the motherland are all over every corner of China. The living water of youth, full of vigor and vitality, flows into the rivers of the motherland's development, and ahead must be a magnificent future of 一往无前 (yī wǎng wú qián - "go forward courageously," to advance dauntlessly).

Integrated Community Service Model.
——Excerpt from the "15th Five-Year Plan" Outline
It was a little after 4 p.m., and the handicraft classroom on the second floor of the Jiangling Community (江陵社区) Service Complex in Yong'an Subdistrict (永安街道), Fengjie County (奉节县), Chongqing (重庆) was full of people. Li Zhitao (李治桃), a resident of the community, moved her fingers deftly, and the yarn in her hands gradually turned into a beautiful sunflower. "At the beginning of the year, a free knitting training class was opened here, and I wanted to try it out. I didn't expect it to become a side business."
The handicraft classroom is located in the "Yuhao Space (渝好空间)" of the complex, a 1,700-square-meter space with three functional sections: "Good Baby Care (好娃托管)," "Good Sister Housekeeping (好姐家政)," and "Good Neighbor Mutual Aid (好邻互助)."
"Half a year ago, people came to the community to handle affairs and left after they were done. Now, this place is no longer just a space for handling affairs, but more like a 'neighborhood living room'," said Tian Yang (田杨), Secretary of the Party Committee of Jiangling Community (江陵社区). The "Yuhao Space (渝好空间)" is divided into two floors: the first floor is an open convenience service area, gathering Party affairs services, a medical insurance center, and embedding service sections such as a branch of the county library, a youth center, and a trade union center; the three "Good" sections on the second floor have become activity areas that enrich the lives of community residents.
Starting from the simplest coaster to complex handbags and beaded accessories, Li Zhitao's (李治桃) skills have matured, and her works can also be sold in the "Yuhao Space (渝好空间)" display area. "I have already received 5 orders this week, and I can increase my income by thousands of yuan per month through crocheting creative products." What makes Li Zhitao (李治桃) even happier is that she has met a group of sisters here. "Everyone chats while doing handicrafts, and time passes very quickly." Through linking up with enterprises to carry out skills training, the community has 82 women with certificates, including mothers, people receiving minimum living allowances, and people with disabilities, who are distributed in different positions in hospitals, shopping malls, and other places.
On the other side, in "Good Baby Care (好娃托管)," Xuanxuan (轩轩), who is 9 years old, is sitting around a long table in the activity room with his friends, holding colored paper in his hands, carefully folding and cutting: "Teacher, can the paper boat I folded float?"
This is the handicraft class of the "Weekend Community Exploration Program." The proportion of dual-income families in Jiangling Community (江陵社区) is high, and "where to go" and "who to look after" after school has always been a "4:30 problem" that residents worry about. To this end, "Yuhao Space (渝好空间)" has introduced professional social work organizations to launch托管 (tuō guǎn - "trusteeship," childcare) services. Parents send their children here, and teachers take them to do handicrafts and read picture books. In the past, Xuanxuan (轩轩) only cared about playing on his mobile phone when he got home, but now he can focus on completing an entire handicraft work and has also made several friends. For many families in the community, such托管 (tuō guǎn - "trusteeship," childcare) services have really solved their "childcare worries."
In order to achieve the stable and good operation of "Yuhao Space (渝好空间)," Fengjie (奉节) has launched the "Community Partner" model. "The community does not charge rent to the organizations that move in, but sets clear conditions for public welfare returns. For example, housekeeping companies must provide free door-to-door services to elderly people with disabilities and elderly people living alone in the community every month," said Tian Yang (田杨). This set of "using public welfare in exchange for rent" reduces the operating costs of institutions, residents get more benefits, and achieves a win-win situation for all parties.
Tian Yang (田杨) introduced that 3 small and micro public welfare projects have been implemented under the "Community Partner" model, and it is estimated that more than 2,000 residents will benefit by 2025.

As the "last mile" of urban governance and serving the people, how can communities better meet the needs of the masses? From the practice of "Yuhao Space (渝好空间)," we see a warm answer sheet that combines the people-oriented concept with grassroots governance practice.
Only by seeing the needs of "people" can good services be more precise. If residents have needs for leisure, entertainment, and socializing, the community will open up activity areas; if parents have childcare problems, the community will launch托管 services. These targeted measures make residents' lives more convenient and happiness more real.
Only by gathering the power of the "masses" can good services be more lasting. It is easy to obtain good services for a while, but sustainable development is rare. The "community partner" model of "Yuhao Space (渝好空间)" provides a path for reference. By introducing professional forces, the beautiful life of a community can achieve a win-win situation for all parties.
A small space carries a great vision for people's livelihood. We look forward to more communities taking the "last mile" of serving the people well, and holding up happy homes where more people can live in peace, suitability, and happiness.

On May 7th, Mr. Qiu (邱先生), 79, received a follow-up call from Huang Liou (黄丽鸥), a health manager from his family doctor team. In March of this year, the family doctor team at the Gulangyu (鼓浪屿) Street Community Health Service Center in Siming District (思明区), Xiamen (厦门) City, Fujian (福建) Province, discovered that Mr. Qiu (邱先生) had a high degree of coronary artery calcification based on his chest CT results, indicating a high risk of cardiovascular disease. They immediately recommended that he go to a specialist hospital for further examination. The next day, Mr. Qiu (邱先生) went to the Xiamen University Affiliated Cardiovascular Hospital for treatment through the community referral green channel. Examination results confirmed severe coronary artery stenosis. After surgical treatment, Mr. Qiu (邱先生) quickly recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
Since the beginning of this year, the family doctor team has screened out and referred several patients with moderate to severe coronary artery stenosis for treatment. This is a microcosm of China's accelerating construction of a hierarchical medical system.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out, "Build a high-quality and efficient medical service system." The "15th Five-Year Plan" outline proposes to improve the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system. In April, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Several Measures on Accelerating the Construction of a Hierarchical Diagnosis and Treatment System." The National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委), the National Healthcare Security Administration (国家医保局) and other departments have introduced a series of policies and measures to promote the improvement of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system and meet the needs of the masses for nearby medical treatment.
At present, China's hierarchical diagnosis and treatment pattern has been basically established. More than 1.1 million medical and health institutions across the country cover urban and rural areas, and more than 90% of residents can reach the nearest medical service point within 15 minutes. In 2025, the number of visits to primary medical and health institutions nationwide will reach 5.56 billion, accounting for 52.6% of the total number of visits nationwide. The construction of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system is gradually shifting from laying a good foundation to a comprehensive improvement stage of quality and efficiency.
The close-knit medical consortium improves quality and expands coverage, strengthening the sharing of medical resources—
81 cities are carrying out pilot work on close-knit urban medical groups, and 2,199 counties (cities, districts) are building close-knit county medical communities. Among the nearly 3,000 close-knit county medical communities that have been built, more than 2,300 are led by county hospitals, and more than 600 are led by county Chinese medicine hospitals, covering 33,000 primary medical and health institutions. More than 1,100 county disease control centers and more than 1,600 county-level maternal and child health care institutions have joined the close-knit county medical community. In 2025, the proportion of primary care visits in close-knit county medical communities will exceed 63%.
Various regions are accelerating the construction of resource sharing centers for medical imaging, electrocardiogram diagnosis, medical testing, disinfection supply, and pathological diagnosis to improve the homogeneity of medical and health services within the medical consortium.
"Next, we will continue to strengthen the connotation construction of county medical communities, continuously improve the collaborative mechanism of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, and strive to solve general diseases in cities and counties and solve daily diseases at the grassroots level," said Jiao Yahui (焦雅辉), Director of the Primary Health Department of the National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委基层卫生健康司司长).
Guiding the masses to seek first diagnosis at the grassroots level and unblocking two-way referral channels—
"Now it's convenient to get medicine without leaving the village!" A few days ago, Wang Jiuxiu (王九秀), a villager in Hongqiao (洪桥) Village, Baishui (白水) Town, Jishui (吉水) County, Jiangxi (江西) Province, received centralized procurement medicine at the village health clinic. Wang Jiuxiu (王九秀) needs long-term medication due to chronic diseases. In the past, she had to go to the township health center several kilometers away to get medicine. Now, she can get medicine at the village health clinic and settle the bill with her medical insurance card.
China has promptly included eligible primary medical and health institutions in the scope of medical insurance designation, providing convenience for the masses to seek medical treatment nearby. For common diseases at the grassroots level, we adhere to the principle of "medicine follows the disease" to meet the continuous medication needs of patients. For patients who require long-term drug treatment, issue long-term prescriptions for no more than 12 weeks at a time to reduce the travel of patients with chronic diseases.
At the same time, various regions guide leading hospitals in close-knit medical consortia to reserve a certain proportion of appointment slots and beds for primary medical institutions to promptly receive referred patients after the first diagnosis at the grassroots level. Promote "general practitioner + specialist" joint clinics to allow the masses to simultaneously obtain health management services from general practitioners and professional diagnosis and treatment guidance from specialists at the grassroots level.
Expanding the supply of family doctor contract services and improving the quality and efficiency of contract services—
From family doctor publicity boards posted at the entrances of building units to health tips pushed to WeChat groups; from precisely classified community "health maps" to "sweep the building" health follow-ups... This is a vivid practice of the high-quality development of family doctor contract services in China.
By the end of 2025, the total number of family doctors in China reached 1.391 million, providing contract services for the elderly, children, pregnant women, and patients with hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc. In some places, the contract rate for key populations exceeds 80%.
Since the beginning of this year, various regions have encouraged family doctors to use the elderly and children as a link to establish long-term and stable contract service relationships with all members of the family. At the same time, according to the needs of different groups, develop higher-level personalized contract services.
Lei Haichao (雷海潮), Director of the National Health Commission (国家卫生健康委员会主任), said that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China will vigorously implement the medical and health strengthening project, focusing on the grassroots level to accelerate the construction of a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, build a division of labor and collaboration mechanism between medical institutions at all levels, promote the efficient allocation of medical and health service resources, and provide the masses with convenient, accessible, high-quality, efficient, systematic, and continuous medical and health services.

The leading nature of development often stems from the foresight of strategic planning. The forging of an industrial chain and the opening up of a new field are based on both resource endowments and strategic vision.
Some measures seem ordinary but are enlightening.
How to help allergy sufferers alleviate their spring troubles? From pruning allergenic trees to spraying pollen fixatives, from real-time monitoring of pollen concentration to timely cleaning of the ground... This spring, through technological assistance and coordinated prevention and control, Beijing's (北京) 30 pollen control demonstration zones have achieved good prevention and control results.
What to do if a music festival encounters an emergency? Not long ago, at the Wuyilu Balcony Music Festival in Shashi District, Jingzhou (荆州沙市区五一路阳台音乐节) , Hubei (湖北), a man suddenly fell ill. Thanks to the emergency通道 (应急通道) reserved in advance, the on-duty police officers and medical staff quickly carried out emergency rescue. The entire process took only 3 minutes to cross the sea of 20,000 people and send the patient to the ambulance. Thanks to timely medical treatment, the man is now out of danger.
One treats pollen, one reserves a passage; different fields, same concept: early research and judgment, proactive action. This contains a working idea: "think ahead, act ahead."
"Think ahead, act ahead" requires both a sense of responsibility, doing everything possible to do every thing well, and the need to adhere to systematic thinking, drawing inferences about other cases from one instance to do a good job of a class of things.
Chen Shenghong (陈声洪), a citizen of Zhangzhou (漳州), Fujian (福建), did not expect that his suggestion would promote a refined governance. "On the way to work, the 'clang' of a manhole cover made my heart skip a beat." Upon receiving the citizen's suggestion, the relevant departments immediately carried out a special investigation, and found and rectified 398 problematic manhole covers in the first round. At the same time, taking a step forward and using a point to lead the area, the local government issued the "Urban Manhole Cover Management Measures" (《城市窨井盖管理办法》), which standardized the entire process from planning and design, construction to daily maintenance, effectively improving the refined level of urban infrastructure management.
From the passive response of 兵来将挡、水来土掩 (bīng lái jiàng dǎng, shuǐ lái tǔ yǎn - "when soldiers come, generals will resist; when water comes, earth will dam," to adopt measures appropriate to the situation; to take action only when a problem arises), to the forward-looking governance of "planning ahead and taking the initiative," what is tested is not only wisdom and courage, but also the conscious action of being people-centered. Treating the urgent needs and expectations of the masses as a priority, seeing the big from the small, and moving from the point to the area, the answer sheet of people's livelihood can be better written into the hearts of the masses.
"Think ahead, act ahead" means having a strategic vision with long-term planning.
Hefei (合肥), Anhui (安徽), aimed at the new track of quantum technology and made forward-looking moves. Starting from incubating the first domestic company engaged in the industrialization of quantum technology in 2009, it deepened the synergy between industry, academia and research, and continued to build an innovation ecosystem. Today, it has gathered 97 industrial chain companies with an industrial scale of over 6 billion yuan. In the first two years after the establishment of Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区), "almost no brick or tile was moved." Greenery was planted before the city was built, and underground facilities were built before above-ground facilities. As of the end of 2025, the cumulative investment exceeded one trillion yuan, the total development area covered nearly 215 square kilometers, and more than 5,300 buildings rose from the ground.
The leading nature of development often stems from the foresight of strategic planning. The forging of an industrial chain and the opening up of a new field are based on both resource endowments and strategic vision. Being good at looking at problems and thinking about problems from a strategic perspective, recognizing opportunities and challenges, and unifying planning for things and planning for situations, planning for the present and planning for the future, can turn every shovel of soil today into a cornerstone for tomorrow.
"Think ahead, act ahead" also requires the innovative spirit of daring to be the first.
Beijing (北京) uses the massive work orders of the 12345 hotline as a data mine, establishes a "monthly topic" working mechanism, focuses on high-frequency common difficult problems, and upgrades passive acceptance to active governance; Hainan Free Trade Port (海南自贸港) comprehensively promotes a minimalist approval investment system, which greatly reduces the institutional transaction costs of business entities; many places promote the "exemption from application and enjoyment" of preferential policies for enterprises, changing "enterprises looking for policies" to "policies looking for enterprises," and the business environment has been significantly improved.
From concept to system, from scenario to mechanism, being brave in innovation and good at innovation, and daring to break path dependence, can lead to development upgrades with innovative ideas. The more stalemate the situation, the more we must dare to jump out of the inertia of "always doing this way"; the more intense the competition, the more we must face the blank of "never done before." Thinking one more layer and taking a step ahead can always firmly grasp the initiative of development.
"Those who start sharply must plan for their end, and those who succeed must first plan for the beginning." The "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五) has already begun. Using small breakthroughs to leverage big people's livelihood, using long cycles to cultivate big patterns, and using new ideas to open up new spaces, placing the first move in a key position will surely deliver an economic and social answer sheet with more color and higher quality.

"Packages left at the door won't be stolen," "Daring to grill skewers alone on the street at 3 a.m.," "Leaving a laptop on a cafe table without anyone touching it"... These everyday life details that Chinese people take for granted have recently been summarized by foreign bloggers as "Chinese-style security," sparking an "envy whirlwind" overseas and prompting us to re-examine the deep logic behind this stability.
This sense of security reflects the achievements of building a Safe China and demonstrates a people-centered value orientation. In China, public safety is not a privilege for a few, but a universal safety based on the national system and aimed at all the people. When encountering trouble or danger, "someone will come when you call the help number"; neighborhood disputes, the urgent retrieval of lost elderly people and children, "finding the police when something happens" gives people a solid psychological support... Whether in bustling cities or remote villages, one can get full security. The undifferentiated supply of security is underpinned by a clear value: people first.
Laws alone are insufficient to govern; good laws require good governance. The Chinese sense of security is rooted in the efficient operation and continuous efforts of grassroots governance.
From the new era "Fengqiao Experience" (枫桥经验) leading to the effective resolution of conflicts and disputes, to the combination of human and technological prevention to achieve grid-based refined management; from the 12345 hotline efficiently solving the problems of the masses, to the continuous expansion of the strength of mass prevention and mass governance such as "Chaoyang Masses" (朝阳群众) and "Red Maple Volunteer Police" (红枫义警)... A good social order is supported by thousands of small governance units.
The grassroots have strength, the governance has warmth, and the security has support. The secret of China's governance lies in the precision of grassroots governance, in the strong and powerful grassroots Party organizations, and in the collective wisdom of the masses.
From a broader perspective, the deep root of the Chinese sense of security lies in the development dividends of the "small family" being full of vitality and the "big family" thriving.
Some scholars have summarized Chinese-style security as "developmental security," which is quite insightful. Today's China is on the track of high-quality development, and the quality of high-quality life is becoming more and more eye-catching. Being able to live a good life by abiding by the law and working hard has become a collective consensus. The yearning for and confidence in a good life makes everyone cherish the current peace, forming a collective consciousness to protect safety together, and also makes social stability an inevitable trend of the times and an inevitable trend of development.
In the final analysis, the Chinese sense of security is essentially a sense of trust.
We trust the Party and the government. Whether there are problems, contradictions, or disputes, whether it is calling the government department hotline, finding the grassroots Party organization, or leaving a message online, there is always a channel to gather public opinion, and there are always pragmatic measures to resolve contradictions and solve problems.
We believe in the goodwill between people. Chinese people have always pursued being kind to neighbors and helping each other. The way of getting along with "all people within the four seas are brothers" (四海之内皆兄弟也 - sì hǎi zhī nèi jiē xiōng dì yě - "all within the four seas are brothers," emphasizes universal brotherhood and harmony among people from different places) and "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor" (远亲不如近邻 - yuǎn qīn bù rú jìn lín - "a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor," the importance of close relationships with those nearby), the unity of "when one side is in trouble, all sides support" (一方有难，八方支援 - yī fāng yǒu nàn, bā fāng zhī yuán - "when one side is in trouble, all sides support," collective assistance and solidarity in times of difficulty), and the civilized rural customs of "not picking up lost things and not closing doors at night" (路不拾遗，夜不闭户 - lù bù shí yí, yè bù bì hù - "not picking up lost things, night not closing doors," a society with high moral standards where people are honest and trustworthy) nourish the present and nurture the future with the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. The Chinese sense of security is deeply rooted in the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
We also believe that the country under the leadership of the Party is resilient enough. Take energy as an example. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is tense, global oil prices are fluctuating, and many countries are facing energy shortages and social unrest. Why can China remain calm? The answer lies in adhering to the bottom-line thinking and planning ahead for a long time, and building an energy security "breakwater" with a systematic layout. The virtuous interaction between high-quality development and high-level security can effectively prevent and resolve various risks affecting China's modernization process.
Practice has proved that no matter what development difficulties and challenges we encounter, no matter what external shocks and storms we encounter, we have the wisdom and ability to overcome difficulties, turn dangers into opportunities, and continue to provide dignity and security for every family and every individual, and finally move towards a two-way rush and a virtuous circle in which the country is strong and the small family is stable, and the small family is stable and the country is prosperous.
The preciousness of the Chinese sense of security lies in the fact that it is never publicized, but it is everywhere. It originates from the system, is achieved through governance, and is rooted in the hearts of the people, and finally settles into a peaceful daily life day after day. This is also the confidence and courage for us to move forward.

Not long ago, the "Life Puzzles, Quick Q&A" event at Tianjin University Library (天津大学图书馆) became a sensation. A college student asked, "How can I grow up slower?" An elementary school student replied, "Enjoy the present." A college student asked, "What should I do if I can't find happiness?" The elementary school student said, "You can watch 'Peppa Pig'." College students wrote about their confusions, and elementary school students answered with innocence. This "contrastive cuteness" and "healing feeling" brought about by cross-age dialogue made many people's eyes well up with tears as they laughed.
On either side of the message board stood a world. On one side was the "weight" accumulated by college students; on the other side was the "lightness" brought by elementary school students. They met on the message board and collided, creating a strange spark.
College students kept asking, "What is happiness?" The elementary school student's answer was straightforward: "When you have an apple, just think about the apple." Many books have talked about methods for achieving happiness, but the elementary school student explained the essence in one sentence. Lao Tzu (老子) said: "Pursuing knowledge increases daily; pursuing the Tao decreases daily." Happiness does not necessarily have to be achieved by addition; subtraction can also achieve it. But in reality, too many people only treat the present as a stepping stone to the future. Holding an apple in their hand, their eyes are fixed on someone else's pear, and their minds are still calculating whether they will lose the apple tomorrow. What is lost in the rush is precisely those moments when one can feel happy without any reason. Many times, when we are troubled by our own difficulties, perhaps changing our perspective and detaching ourselves a little can bring different feelings.
Elementary school students teach college students to "let go," and college students teach elementary school students to "strive upward." "How did you get into Tianjin University (天津大学)?" "苦心人，天不负 (kǔ xīn rén, tiān bù fù - "Those who work hard will not be let down by the heavens," perseverance will eventually pay off)"; "Is this school fun and interesting?" "Interesting! But first, you have to be an interesting child"... Faced with the elementary school students' questions, the college students' answers were equally sincere and infectious. In these words, the children touched the "adult world" up close; and the college students also gained healing and energy when answering the elementary school students' questions.
How can knowledge be transformed into learning, and knowing into understanding? This event offers a possibility. "Small questions from college students," "medium questions from middle school students," and "big questions from elementary school students"—on this message board, people of different ages see each other, refer to each other, and quietly achieve self-growth in the role exchange of "teaching" and "learning." Teaching others is often also a way to grow quickly.
There is no podium, no textbook, no standard answer, only equal Q&A. Children will not lose their innocence because they see the difficulties of college students; instead, they gain a psychological preparation. College students may not be able to cure their anxiety with a single "watch 'Peppa Pig'," but they gain a courage of relief. Mutual inspiration and common progress are precisely the educational ecology we pursue.
Life has its own burdens. Elementary school students are troubled by "how to have better relationships with classmates," middle school students yearn for "mathematics to be kinder to me," and college students ponder "how to obtain inner peace and happiness"... No "burden" is more profound, and no "lightness" is truly as light as a feather; it's just that standing on different stages of life, one will harbor different expectations.
Each season has its own rhythm. Spring has its own affairs, and winter has its own affairs. If spring insists on carrying out winter's orders, the crops will be ruined; if winter insists on catching up with spring's progress, it will only be a futile waste. Children's innocence is the color that childhood should have, and the confusions of middle school and college students are also necessary stages of youth, all of which deserve to be taken seriously.
There is an anxiety called fear of falling behind. Urging children to grow up quickly, urging college students to mature quickly, as if each stage is just a preparation for the next stage. But true growth is not about outrunning time, but about doing what should be done at each moment sufficiently.
"举重若轻 (jǔ zhòng ruò qīng - "carry heavy weights as if they were light," to make a difficult task seem easy)," is not pretending that the weight does not exist, but finding a state where the weight does not become a burden. Children maintain the simplicity of the present with innocence and purity, and college students settle the disturbances of life with clarity and sobriety. The two together constitute complete growth.
Children yearn for the distant places that adults have been to, and adults miss the present that children still possess. Both desires are cherished on the small message board. We need more such "message boards." It can be an open space, a dialogue without standard answers, an opportunity for people of different ages to express themselves. Let adults discover unexpected happiness through the eyes of children; and let children know that growing up is not the end, and growth is not that complicated.
Many burdens on the road to growth can actually be lifted a little lighter.
Return to TopThe General Administration of Customs (海关总署) recently released data showing that in the first four months of this year, China's total import and export value of goods trade was 16.23 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.9%, with the cumulative growth rate basically the same as in the first quarter. In the complex and severe external environment, China's foreign trade has started strongly and has had a good start, laying a solid foundation for the high-quality development of the economy throughout the year.
This is precisely:
Thousands of sails compete, cargo transportation is busy,
Trade connects ten thousand miles, benefiting all directions.
Braving wind and rain to strengthen internal skills,
Striving forward at the forefront of the tide to start a new voyage.

Return to TopDrones Must "Have People in Sight"
Dong Bihui (董碧辉)
Drones have already flown into ordinary people's homes, helping with snow removal and spraying pesticides, almost becoming an agricultural aid artifact, but occasionally there are accidents. Some tourists have posted videos complaining that they were sprayed with pesticides by drones while visiting the Lushan Xihai Scenic Area (庐山西海景区) in Jiangxi (江西), causing physical discomfort. Later, the scenic area issued a notice stating that it was due to improper operation by a third-party company and apologized.
The "unmanned" nature of drones is a technical advantage. Replacing manpower with machinery, soaring flexibly at low altitudes, and constantly expanding application scenarios have brought many conveniences to our production and life. But if there are no people in sight, it will bring many problems. For example, some media previously reported that rapeseed growers in some areas used drones to spray pesticides, but chose to operate during the active time of bees, and did not inform the surrounding beekeepers in advance, resulting in the poisoning and death of bees, and heavy losses for beekeepers. Only seeing one's own interests and not considering others turns good things into bad things.
The areas where drones fly are mostly public spaces, so it is necessary to "have people in sight." While fully utilizing the powerful functions and advantages of advanced technology, we must also pay attention to the impact that its use may have on other people's livelihoods and interests, always putting people in a priority position, and continuously improving management and governance levels, in order to ensure that technology is used for good and for people.

"Rescue" Cannot Become a Performance
Chen Wenjie (陈文杰)
At the end of March this year, many short videos of "Rescuing a Homeless Woman in the Deep Mountains of Yunnan (云南)" became popular online. However, some careful netizens immediately discovered the flaws, and the local police quickly intervened after receiving a report, thus uncovering this fraudulent staged scam. Recently, relevant details have been further disclosed, and these videos were all filmed by hired people, each earning 90 yuan per day.
"Rescuing the homeless" is a type of content that has long existed in the short video field, and it was not so distorted from the beginning. In the early years, many creators devoted themselves to rescuing the homeless out of genuine concern. Cai Yanhua (蔡艳球), known as "Brother Niu Chasing Dreams" (牛哥追梦), who was praised by the media, is a typical representative. Due to the experience of his relatives becoming homeless and passing away, he has long insisted on public welfare rescue, helping hundreds of homeless people return home, making "rescuing the homeless" a warm and powerful public narrative. However, with the penetration of traffic logic, a large number of follow-up videos have emerged, and kindness has been distorted.
To change this situation, the key lies in cutting off the chain of making profits through fraud. Platforms should effectively identify bad content and remove relevant videos in a timely manner; at the rule level, it should be clarified that "fictional exemption" is not exempt, and it is strictly forbidden to consume suffering to gain traffic. At the same time, a certification and support mechanism should also be established for genuine public welfare creators, allowing real content to have more space. When there is no profit to be made from fraud, kindness will not be overdrawn.

[Keywords] Relay of Love
[Event] Not long ago, at a hospital in Foshan (佛山), Guangdong (广东), Xiao Li (小黎), suffering from a malignant tumor, placed an errand service order with a try-it-and-see attitude: "Sit by my bedside and keep me company for two hours." After a rider accompanied her as agreed, he sent a message to the rider group: "The young girl in bed 30 of the hospital needs someone to accompany her." A spontaneous relay of love began, and some police officers, fellow patients, and other strangers came one after another, bringing sincere love, special companionship, and blessings.
[Commentary]
Some riders rushed over after finishing their orders, some finished work early just to spend more time with Xiao Li (小黎), some brought milk, snacks, and storybooks, and a rider far away in Yunnan (云南) sent a bouquet of flowers through an online flower shop... A call, spontaneous companionship, and a relay of love vividly illustrate once again: although modern cities are different from traditional acquaintance societies, they are by no means lacking in love and true feelings.
The opening of the heartwarming story is the patient's need for emotional companionship, which is moving and worthy of more thought.
"Sometimes heal, often help, always comfort," this widely circulated saying in the medical community illustrates the importance of emotional and psychological support in healthcare. Diseases, especially some chronic and serious illnesses, not only mean physical pain but also inevitably bring mental distress. Demand is the "key point," and care is the "answer sheet." While curing "the disease of the person," we must also strive to take good care of "the person with the disease." How to prescribe a good "spiritual prescription" is also a proposition that needs to be answered well.
Observing the development and progress of medical and health services in recent years, there are many good practices. Standardizing elderly accompaniment services, strengthening psychological care on the basis of solving practical difficulties; exploring and promoting the clinical application of narrative medicine to help patients better compete with diseases and improve the quality of life, and to help doctors better establish empathetic connections with patients and their families... More comprehensive services make the unknown and panic on the road to medical treatment less and less, and peace of mind and calmness more and more.
It should also be noted that, due to the objective existence of uneven distribution of resources, there is still a certain gap between the emotional care in the medical process and people's expectations in many places and scenarios. At the same time, medical resources in many places, especially at the grassroots level, are in a state of tight balance. In this case, it is not appropriate to simply "add burdens" within the existing system. To do good things well, it is necessary to fully carry out feasibility studies and effectiveness analysis to find the optimal solution under the constraints of factor resources.
For example, adding color to the "chorus" with "multi-part" collaboration. The improvement of the quality and efficiency of medical services is inseparable from the orderly and common participation of multiple entities under market rules. Focusing on the potential growth points in the field of accompaniment to develop a blue ocean and develop life service industries is a useful supplement to basic and bottom-line services.
In addition, it is also worth encouraging to make good use of new technologies to make up for shortcomings. From the new intelligent accompaniment services in many places to the entry of companion robots into nursing homes, technological innovation makes medical care and companionship cover longer periods, more comprehensive functions, and more diverse scenarios, providing strong impetus and support for improving the quality and efficiency of medical services. Allowing technology to be better embedded in service scenarios helps to solve human resource constraints and make heartwarming companionship more inclusive and efficient.
"Come on! Braving wind and rain, forging ahead." On the day of discharge, the hospital specially held a simple and warm discharge ceremony for Xiao Li (小黎). A single accidental service reflects potential demands, and the coordinated efforts of systems, industries, and technologies can allow more care to reach the people who need it. Let affectionate service and the expectations of the masses go in both directions, and the relay baton of love will continue to be passed on.

"Now, getting an invoice allows you to participate in a lottery. I've won several times, getting 10 yuan, 20 yuan, and even 100 yuan once," said Ms. Cai, a resident of Chaoyang District (朝阳区) in Beijing (北京). Since the launch of the prize-winning invoice campaign, she and her family have been proactively requesting invoices to participate in the lottery whenever their spending reaches the 100 yuan threshold.
Starting at the beginning of this year, China (中国) launched a six-month pilot program for prize-winning invoices in 50 cities. After spending reaches a corresponding amount and a compliant invoice is issued, consumers can upload it through an online platform for an instant lottery, with prizes distributed in the form of electronic red envelopes. The prize-winning invoice pilot program covers major daily consumption scenarios, such as shopping, dining out, tourist accommodation, cultural and sports activities, and life services, which are closely related to residents' basic needs.
Data shows that as of May 5, the four pilot cities of Ningbo (宁波), Huzhou (湖州), Shaoxing (绍兴), and Quzhou (衢州) in Zhejiang (浙江) have attracted 20,395,400 participants, with a cumulative payout of 277 million yuan in prizes. Dalian (大连) in Liaoning (辽宁) has cumulatively approved 7,716,200 valid participating invoices, distributing over 125 million yuan in prizes, directly boosting consumption in eight major livelihood areas by over 3.596 billion yuan. Daqing (大庆) in Heilongjiang (黑龙江) has seen a cumulative participation of 184,400 people, receiving 1,352,900 invoices, corresponding to an invoice amount of 590 million yuan. The small invoice has been transformed into a "lucky ticket" full of surprises, adding a touch of fun and anticipation to residents' daily consumption, and becoming a new measure to activate the market and boost consumption.
Instant incentives unlock the consumption experience.
"Guangdong's (广东) morning tea culture is very distinctive. Some uncles and aunts who spend eighty or ninety yuan, upon hearing about the prize-winning invoice campaign, will specifically add a dim sum or beverage to reach the 100 yuan lottery threshold," said Zhang Xiaowan (张晓婉), Operations Executive Director of Guangzhou Dian Dou De Catering Management Co., Ltd. (广东点都德餐饮管理有限公司). This "add-on consumption" has a certain effect on raising the average customer spend and also gives consumers a lot of surprises, allowing them to experience the fun of "more consumption, more anticipation."
Since the start of the prize-winning invoice campaign, the surprise of scanning a code to issue an invoice and happily receiving a red envelope has been constantly emerging in streets, alleys, shopping malls, and restaurants. An invoice with a tax-inclusive amount of 100 yuan (inclusive) or more can participate in the lottery, which makes many consumers casually add a few favorite small items when purchasing goods in order to have the opportunity to win a prize, easily meeting the participation conditions.
In Fengxian District (奉贤区) of Shanghai (上海), Bailian Nanqiao Shopping Center (百联南桥购物中心) has achieved a double increase in customer traffic and sales due to the pulling effect of the prize-winning invoice campaign. Yao Wenjuan (姚文娟), head of the shopping mall's finance department, introduced that after the start of the prize-winning invoice campaign, the shopping mall's value-added tax invoice usage increased by more than 40% year-on-year, and sales increased by more than 30% compared with the same period last year.
The prize-winning invoice campaign has also driven many consumers to check in and spend across cities. In a white tea shop in Huzhou (湖州), Zhejiang (浙江), Ms. Shen (沈) from a nearby city was carrying seven or eight boxes of tea gift sets. "I heard that spending in Huzhou (湖州) can participate in the invoice lottery. Taking advantage of the hot sales of white tea, I came here specifically to join in the fun, hoping to win a prize and get some good luck."
Yang Xiaoqiang (杨小强), a professor at the School of Law of Sun Yat-sen University (中山大学), believes that the prize-winning invoice campaign precisely activates the consumer market with an instant incentive mechanism, and can also effectively enhance consumers' awareness of proactively requesting invoices, thereby promoting operators to issue invoices in a standardized manner and further optimizing the tax business environment.
Online + Offline, Amplifying the Consumption Boom
On May 1, the ninth round of the Chinese Super League (中超联赛), Dalian Yingbo Haifa (大连英博海发) played against Chongqing Tonglianglong (重庆铜梁龙) at home. Mr. Liu (刘), a Chongqing (重庆) citizen and senior fan, took his son to purchase parent-child jerseys at the Shanshan Outlets (杉杉奥特莱斯) near the stadium before the game, stayed in a nearby hotel, and after the game, he also checked in at Xinghai Square (星海广场), Donggang Venice Water City (东港威尼斯水城) and other attractions, and tasted local delicacies.
After each consumption, Mr. Liu (刘) did not forget to issue an invoice and participate in the prize-winning invoice campaign. "I won a total of 220 yuan on this trip, with a single highest prize of 100 yuan. The prize-winning invoice added unexpected surprises to the ball-watching trip," said Mr. Liu (刘).
The person in charge of operations at Shanshan Outlets (杉杉奥特莱斯) said that the combination of event traffic and holiday effect effectively released consumer demand, and the prize-winning invoice campaign further amplified the diversion effect, helping to transform event traffic into incremental consumption, and achieving two-way empowerment and mutual promotion of the event economy and business district consumption. Data shows that during the "May Day" holiday, the turnover of clothing at Shanshan Outlets (杉杉奥特莱斯) reached 28.8 million yuan, an increase of 39.8% year-on-year.
Relying on the "May Day" holiday, various places and platforms actively seized the consumption boom and innovatively upgraded the prize-winning invoice campaign. Guangzhou (广州), Guangdong (广东) added two new participating channels, Alipay (支付宝) and JD.com (京东), integrating the dual benefits of "government subsidies + platform concessions," and the prize pool for the "May Day" holiday was expanded to 20 million yuan. Daqing (大庆) adopted a dual model of "instant online prizes + regular offline special events," with online focusing on small-amount universal benefits to enhance participation, and offline launching exclusive discounts through large-amount prizes and linking key industry enterprises, and also innovatively launched regular special lottery events for department stores, home appliances, automobiles, etc. JD.com (京东) launched a "bottom-line lottery mechanism" on the basis of the "prize-winning invoice" activities in various places. From May 1 to May 13, users can open the JD.com (京东) APP and search for "invoice lottery" or "prize-winning invoice" to enter the page and enjoy "cash prizes for every 10 draws." Since the launch of the event, the number of new participating users has increased by 62% month-on-month.
As of now, China UnionPay's (中国银联) prize-winning invoice service has attracted nearly 300 million consumers to participate in the event. China UnionPay (中国银联) continues to expand diversified cooperation channels, and gives full play to its identity as a bank card organization to promote the formation of a multi-level consumption promotion pattern of "government funding guidance + bank resource matching + merchant concession follow-up," and guide new consumption to issue invoices to participate in the lottery.
Refine Services, Build a Solid Regulatory Defense Line
Changes in consumption habits have further led operators to pay more attention to honest operation, and have also put forward higher requirements for related services and supervision.
In a hot pot restaurant in Guangzhou Nansha Wanda Plaza (广州南沙万达广场), the publicity prompts and operation guidelines for the prize-winning invoice campaign next to the cashier are particularly eye-catching. "Since the launch of the event, there has been a significant increase in customers who proactively request invoices. This prompts the store to ensure that every consumption is entered into the system in a standardized manner and invoices are issued in a timely and accurate manner, making the financial process more rigorous and smooth, and also prompting us to work hard on internal management and standardized operation, making the service more detailed and improving the quality of dishes," said Cai Youjie (蔡有杰), the store's customer manager.
Consumers' enthusiasm for issuing invoices has increased. What impact does this have on merchants? In order to ensure that merchants "have invoices to issue, can issue invoices, and issue good invoices," in Zhejiang (浙江), the tax authorities adhere to the equal emphasis on service and supervision, and the coexistence of convenience and standardization. Tax officials set up consultation desks in major business districts and streets to distribute the "E-Tax Bureau Invoice Issuance Guide" to merchants and citizens. "We also precisely push invoice issuance reminders by making policy long pictures and recording operation videos, so that the invoice issuance process can be seen, learned, and used," said the relevant person in charge of the Quzhou (衢州) Municipal Taxation Bureau.
While the event is being carried out in full swing, various departments are working together to strengthen the whole-process tracking and monitoring of invoices and build a solid regulatory defense line of fairness and justice. Yang Yanying (杨燕英), a professor at the School of Government Management of the Central University of Finance and Economics (中央财经大学), said that business, finance, taxation and other departments, through collaborative supervision, especially strengthening the real-time inspection of invoice information and data interconnection, will effectively prevent illegal acts such as false invoice issuance and red-letter invoice issuance, and powerfully ensure the standardization and fairness of the event. The majority of merchants and consumers should follow the relevant rules for invoice issuance, lottery, etc., and jointly create a fair, orderly, and honest consumption environment, and truly achieve the goal of the event of benefiting the people and promoting consumption and stabilizing growth.

In early summer, the weather is clear and the breeze is warm. In Tianxi Village (田西村), Rougu Town (揉谷镇), Yangling District (杨陵区), Xianyang (咸阳), Shaanxi (陕西) Province, sweet potato seedlings are densely packed in the seedling sheds. Villagers are bent over, busily cutting and bundling the seedlings, loading them onto vehicles to be sent to all parts of the country.
"This year, we've already sold more than 5 million seedlings. This is the sixth batch, and we can harvest two more batches!" Liu Xinmin (刘新民), the technical instructor in the shed, held a bundle of seedlings in his hand, his voice bright. "At 18 cents per seedling, this item alone brings in over a million yuan in annual income for the village collective. The cake for the villagers' dividends is getting bigger and bigger!"
Tianxi Village (田西村) is located on sandy soil by the Wei River (渭河). As early as the 1990s, villagers began exploring sweet potato seedling cultivation, but it was always a case of "each doing their own thing, on a small scale." The varieties were mixed, there were many diseases, and the yield was low, resulting in low income per mu. "It's difficult to achieve anything by farming alone; only by working together can we make big money," said Tian Xiaoxiong (田小雄), the village Party branch secretary.
The turning point came in 2015 when the village Party branch took the lead in establishing a sweet potato professional cooperative, uniting the scattered farmers into a single force. "In the beginning, the villagers were hesitant, afraid of losing money. The village's Party members took the lead in transferring land for trial planting, and that year they had a bumper harvest, with prices 20% higher than the market price." Tian Lijun (田利军), the director of the cooperative, said that seeing the tangible benefits, the villagers joined the cooperative one after another, and the cooperative quickly grew. In 2018, the village Party branch struck while the iron was hot and took the lead in completing the reform of the rural collective property rights system, concentrating the transfer of 900 mu of agricultural land, turning villagers into "shareholders" and land into "shares." The land was no longer fragmented, and the foundation for large-scale seedling cultivation was solidified.
"Adjacent to the Yangling Agricultural Hi-Tech Industrial Demonstration Zone (杨凌农业高新技术产业示范区), we don't grow ordinary sweet potatoes; we specialize in growing scientific and technological sweet potatoes, wealth-generating sweet potatoes," said Tian Xiaoxiong (田小雄). The village took the initiative to contact Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University (西北农林科技大学), inviting experts to the sheds and fields. They introduced virus-free varieties such as "Qinshu No. 5" (秦薯5号), built an 800-square-meter virus-free laboratory, and implemented tissue culture seedling cultivation, water-saving drip irrigation, and green prevention and control... The new seedling cultivation technologies cured the old problems of variety degradation and pest infestation.
The small sweet potato met new technology, and the industry changed its appearance. Today, the village's 80 mu of seedling fields produce nearly 7 million high-quality seedlings each year, with good appearance, high survival rate, and stable growth. Orders from Xinjiang (新疆), Shanxi (山西), Shandong (山东), Gansu (甘肃), and other places are constant, and the supply is always less than the demand.
"In the past, growing sweet potatoes depended on favorable weather for a good harvest," said Tian Wuhui (田武辉), who has been growing sweet potatoes for more than a decade. "Now, experts teach us hand-in-hand, the seedlings are strong, the yield is high, and we don't have to worry about sales. Our income per mu has increased several times! We can work at our doorstep, earning money and taking care of our families!"
Growing sweet potatoes alone is not enough. Tian Xiaoxiong (田小雄) and the others have a long-term vision: single planting will not go far; the integration of the three industries is the only way to go steadily and for a long time.
The village registered the "Uncle Tianshu" (田薯叔) brand and built a standardized processing workshop. Fresh sweet potatoes are turned into vermicelli, dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato wine, etc. The small sweet potato has become a large gift package, and the added value is increasing rapidly. The brand image store "Uncle Tianshu's Small Kitchen" (田薯叔的小灶房) has also opened, and through chain operations, sweet potato products are sold to the city.
Idle old resources have also been revitalized. Ditches have been transformed into leisure squares; Yishe Biejuan (艺舍别院) and Tianxi Happy Valley (田西欢乐谷) have become popular check-in points; tourists come admiringly, boiling tea and roasting sweet potatoes around mud stoves... In 2025, Tianxi Village (田西村) received more than 30,000 tourists, increasing the village collective's income by more than 800,000 yuan.
The development experience of Tianxi Village (田西村) is also being continuously promoted. The village established a company, formed a professional team, and, with the revitalization experience of Tianxi Village (田西村), provides all-round services such as planning and design and technical guidance to more than 400 villages in Shaanxi (陕西), Hebei (河北), Xinjiang (新疆), and other places. Tian Gang (田刚), the head of the company, introduced that the company customizes solutions according to the resource endowments of each village. In Daoxiang Village (稻香村), Hotan (和田), Xinjiang (新疆), it guides the local development of characteristic fruit and vegetable planting and intensive processing; in Baoji (宝鸡), Xianyang (咸阳), and other places in Shaanxi (陕西), it draws on the concept of agricultural, cultural, and tourism integration to help more than 100 villages revitalize resources; in Hebei (河北), it sends "Tian Xiucai" (田秀才) to teach advanced agricultural technologies... At present, the company's annual output value has exceeded 7 million yuan.
Starting from sweet potato seedling cultivation to the deep integration of the three industries, in the fields of Tianxi Village (田西村), the seedlings are stronger and the people are busier!

In early summer in Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江), roses on the Qiushi (秋石), Desheng (德胜), and Liushi (留石) elevated roads are blooming in succession, and the 500-kilometer "aerial flower corridor" has become the focus of the city.
Pink and charming, red and passionate, yellow and bright, layers of petals "embroider" the city's elevated expressways built of steel and concrete into "flowing seas of flowers," and netizens have praised "Hangzhou-style romance."
This brilliant color is not only a visual feast, but also hides the deep wisdom of the city's refined governance—by calculating the three accounts of emotion, cost, and brand, Hangzhou (杭州) has made elevated roses a seasonal business card exclusive to the city.
"Every year from mid-to-late April, elevated roses become a 'fixed surprise' on our commute. During the morning peak, being stuck on the Desheng (德胜) elevated road, opening the car window to look at the flowers, the originally anxious mood instantly calms down." Ms. Chen's (陈) feelings express the common feelings of countless Hangzhou (杭州) people.
In the fast-paced urban life, traffic congestion and commuting pressure are a major pain point. When vehicles move slowly on the elevated road, the blooming rose sea on the roadside inadvertently soothes the fatigue of citizens rushing around, allowing everyone to experience the mood change from "traffic jam and heart congestion" to "flower road and warm heart."
Planting flowers on elevated roads is most easily questioned as "burning money." Hangzhou's (杭州) answer is: choose the right varieties and use technology well, and romance can also be very "economical." The expert team of the Hangzhou (杭州) Municipal Landscape and Cultural Relics Bureau carefully selected from hundreds of rose varieties, and finally locked in varieties that are suitable for the local climate and soil, have a long flowering period, are easy to maintain, and bloom repeatedly in multiple seasons. They also established a flower seedling reserve mechanism to locally cultivate some popular flowers to reduce external purchase costs and transportation losses.
In the past, watering roses on elevated roads required driving onto the bridge, which was water-consuming and inefficient. Nowadays, Hangzhou (杭州) has broken the traditional manual extensive management model and independently developed an intelligent irrigation system. Soil sensors, cameras, controllers and other intelligent equipment have become "flower nannies," and precise irrigation has reduced water consumption by 50%.
Today, "Hangzhou (杭州) Elevated Roses" has long surpassed the landscape itself and become a highly recognizable city IP.
Every year when the flowers bloom, topics such as "Hangzhou's (杭州) romance is hidden on the elevated roads" and "Hangzhou (杭州) citizens go to work on flower roads" always top the online hot searches. The flower sea videos and flower viewing guides spontaneously filmed by netizens are widely spread on social platforms, becoming Hangzhou's (杭州) most vivid and down-to-earth city promotional film.
At the same time, Hangzhou (杭州) has carefully created rose exhibitions, flower competitions, flower art salons and other activities, making flower viewing a new consumption scenario and driving the continuous warming of flower viewing consumption. Some netizens watched the elevated rose video and immediately decided to take a trip, "I want to go to Hangzhou (杭州) to see it with my own eyes!"
Today, the entire set of technology, construction model, management standards, and demonstration effects of Hangzhou's (杭州) elevated vertical greening (mainly roses) have been recognized and absorbed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the expert group for the revision of the "Urban Road Greening Design Standards." As a typical demonstration of vertical greening/road landscape, it has been incorporated into the standard's policy guidance, scoring reference, case system, and promotion direction. Subsequently, more than 30 cities including Ningbo (宁波), Zhengzhou (郑州), Nanjing (南京), and Kunming (昆明) have come to learn from it.
"At present, we are actively exploring the 'three realms' of landscape greening: not only to create more pleasing green landscapes, but also to create natural spaces that are accessible, restable, and approachable, and more importantly, to provide emotional value to citizens and tourists through high-quality green landscapes," said Cheng Erping (程二苹), director of the Landscape Greening Department of the Hangzhou (杭州) Municipal Landscape and Cultural Relics Bureau.

Editor,
Liaoning Lingyuan Chuanggao Steel Slag Treatment and Recycling Co., Ltd. has been illegally discharging and stockpiling solid waste within its premises, along riverbanks, and in mountain gullies for a long time. The factory transports smelting slag by truck every day and piles it up in the open without any treatment. The factory is built on the bank of a river, with its site bordering the river to the north and farmers' farmland and housing to the east and south. The waste is severely damaging the environment and affecting the lives of villagers. Please bring this to the attention of the media.
A netizen from the "Leaders' Message Board" of People's Daily
Recently, after receiving a message from a netizen reflecting the problem of open-air stacking of steel slag polluting the environment, the reporter went to Lingyuan City (凌源市), Liaoning Province, for an on-site interview and investigation.
Mountains of steel slag piled up next to the river, close to the water source protection area
On April 27, the reporter drove along the Dawan Line from Shahai Town (沙海镇), Jianping County (建平县), to Wanyandian Town (万元店镇), Lingyuan City (凌源市), for about 1 kilometer and saw a black steel slag pile dozens of meters high within a green fence (see photo, taken by Shen Tongrui (沈童睿), reporter of this newspaper). According to reports, that is the factory area of Chuanggao Steel Slag Treatment and Recycling Co., Ltd. (创高钢渣处理回收有限公司) (hereinafter referred to as "Chuanggao Company" (创高公司)).
The Dawan Line highway runs along the Wanyandian River (万元店河) from northeast to southwest. The steel slag pile is located next to the Wanyandian River (万元店河) and faces the Dawan Line across the river. The Wanyandian River (万元店河) eventually flows into the Daling River (大凌河). The riverbed is currently dry, and a blue announcement board stands next to it, reading "It is forbidden to dump manure and garbage in the river, violators will be fined," with the official seal of the Lingyuan Branch of the Chaoyang Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment (朝阳市生态环境局凌源分局), the Lingyuan Municipal Bureau of Water Resources (凌源市水务局), and the Wanyandian Town Government (万元店镇政府), and attached with a reporting telephone number.
It is worth noting that, walking forward along a small road, one passes a water supply station with a green sign at the entrance that reads "Primary Protection Zone for Drinking Water Source" (饮用水水源一级保护区). Continuing to drive, the reporter saw a blue sign erected that reads "Drinking Water Source Protection Zone" (饮用水水源保护区), which says "You have entered the Secondary Protection Zone for Drinking Water Source in Wanyandian Town (万元店镇), Lingyuan City (凌源市)" "Total length 2 kilometers," while the steel slag pile of Chuanggao Company (创高公司) is only about 1 kilometer away from this sign in a straight line.
The reporter circled around the Chuanggao Company (创高公司) compound and found that the steel slag pile covered an area of about two football fields. There were fences around it, and some of the steel slag was covered with green or black dust-proof cloth. The sound of machinery roared inside the compound, and there were loaders transporting steel slag, with black and gray smoke and dust floating in the wind. To the east of the Chuanggao Company's (创高公司) steel slag pile is a piece of farmland, which, according to villagers, is Heigou Village (黑沟村).
In Heigou Village (黑沟村), the reporter randomly interviewed several villagers, and when asked about this steel slag pile, the interviewed villagers were quite resentful. Some villagers said, "We dare not open the windows, and a layer of slag ash falls in the yard every day. The corn that is dried is covered with ash"; some villagers said, "The slag ash fell on the ground, and later it became a layer of hardened soil, affecting the growth of crops"; and some villagers said, "There's nothing we can do, we can't get rid of it." According to villagers, last year, due to pollution problems, village officials went to Chuanggao Company (创高公司), and the other party finally compensated each household in the village with 200 yuan.
Walking north along the small road in the village, the reporter arrived at a mountainous area north of Heigou Village (黑沟村) and saw a large amount of newly covered loess on the site. The surrounding area was full of lush trees and hillsides, but this place was concave like a basin. According to villagers, a large amount of steel slag was also piled up here, which was only recently cleared away and covered with a layer of soil.
At 4:24 p.m., the reporter found a red truck with license plate Meng D40428 (蒙D40428) fully loaded with steel slag driving out of the Chuanggao Company (创高公司) compound. Following this truck all the way south, at about 4:45 p.m., the truck arrived at an enclosed open space in Liuwopu Village (刘窝铺村), Xiaochengzi Town (小城子镇), and then carried out dumping operations. At the scene, the reporter saw bulldozers working, and some steel slag had already been piled up here. Moreover, the steel slag pile here is also located next to a dry riverbed.
Subsequently, according to clues, the reporter came to a cattle farm in Kangzhangzi Village (康杖子村), Wanyandian Town (万元店镇), and once again saw an open-air steel slag pile without any cover. The steel slag pile was about 3 meters high and covered an area of about one basketball court. It was surrounded by a circle of barbed wire. According to insiders, because the Chuanggao Company (创高公司) compound could no longer hold the steel slag, it rented this cattle farm to pile up tons of steel slag, and this steel slag pile occupied forest land.
Environmental assessment and supervision were carried out two years after the steel slag was piled up, and only two indicators of groundwater quality were tested
Did the local ecological environment department know about the open-air stacking of steel slag by Chuanggao Company (创高公司)? Will stacking steel slag near water source protection areas and rivers cause soil and water pollution? Has the site of the three steel slag piles undergone environmental assessment? With these questions, the reporter went to the Lingyuan Branch of the Chaoyang Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment (朝阳市生态环境局凌源分局) (hereinafter referred to as "Lingyuan Branch" (凌源分局)) for an interview.
"We received a report from the public around October 2025, reflecting the steel slag pollution problem of Chuanggao Company (创高公司). At the beginning, the way this stacking yard handled steel slag was indeed illegal." Zhang Yan (张岩), deputy director of the Lingyuan Branch (凌源分局), said that after law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, they found that the steel slag working surface was not completely covered and dust was generated.
According to the provisions of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution" (中华人民共和国大气污染防治法): "Materials that are prone to dust generation, such as coal, gangue, coal slag, coal ash, cement, lime, gypsum, sand, and soil, shall be stored in a closed manner; if they cannot be closed, strict enclosures not lower than the height of the stacked materials shall be set up, and effective coverage measures shall be taken to prevent and control dust pollution."
Based on this, the Lingyuan Branch (凌源分局) imposed a fine of 15,000 yuan on Chuanggao Company (创高公司) and urged it to take measures such as adding dust-proof nets, increasing enclosures, applying solidification glue to the surface of the steel slag, and installing rain-proof equipment. However, according to the reporter's on-site observation, the steel slag pile of Chuanggao Company (创高公司) is several times higher than the enclosure and has not met the legal requirements.
Is it compliant for the steel slag pile to be located next to the river? The relevant person in charge of the Lingyuan Municipal Bureau of Water Resources (凌源市水务局) said that after on-site matching of drawings, the steel slag pile is not within the scope of river management.
Is it compliant for the steel slag pile to be located near the "Primary Protection Zone" (一级保护区) and "Secondary Protection Zone" (二级保护区) of drinking water sources? Chen Dameng (陈大猛), director of the approval office of the Lingyuan Branch (凌源分局), said: "The scope of the primary protection zone is 50 meters in diameter, and the scope of the secondary protection zone is 200 meters in diameter. The steel slag piles are not within the scope of the protection zone."
Has the steel slag pile caused pollution to groundwater? "Steel slag has not caused pollution to groundwater." Staff of the Lingyuan Ecological Environment Affairs Service Branch (凌源生态环境事务服务分中心) said that last year, the public reported that they were worried about steel slag polluting groundwater. The center sampled groundwater from the well in the Chuanggao Company (创高公司) factory area and the Xiahetuo Group (下河套组) in Heigou Village (黑沟村) and tested two indicators: ammonia nitrogen and iron.
In the test report shown by the Lingyuan Ecological Environment Affairs Service Branch (凌源生态环境事务服务分中心), the reporter saw that the two indicators of ammonia nitrogen and iron did not exceed the standard. However, according to the "Groundwater Quality Standard" (地下水质量标准), there are 39 conventional indicators and 54 unconventional indicators that reflect the basic condition of groundwater quality. Why did the Lingyuan Branch (凌源分局) only test two of them? Does the fact that the two indicators are qualified mean that the groundwater quality is not polluted?
The relevant person in charge of the Lingyuan Branch (凌源分局) said that the local level can undertake more than 20 testing projects. Due to the aging of equipment and considering the cost, they finally chose the two main indicators of ammonia nitrogen and iron. He said, "As long as there is no problem with these two indicators, it can basically be determined that there is no problem."
Does the stacking of steel slag have legal and compliant environmental assessment procedures? Zhang Yan (张岩) said that the waste steel slag treatment and reuse project of Chuanggao Company (创高公司) has passed the environmental assessment, and the environmental report form has been approved by the Lingyuan Economic Development Zone Management Committee (凌源经济开发区管理委员会). The reporter found that in the "Approval of the Environmental Impact Report Form for the Waste Steel Slag Treatment and Reuse Project of Lingyuan City Chuanggao Steel Slag Treatment and Recycling Co., Ltd." (凌源市创高钢渣处理回收有限公司废弃钢渣处理再利用项目环境影响报告表的批复) issued by the Chaoyang Lingyuan Economic Development Zone Management Committee (朝阳凌源经济开发区管理委员会), the approval date was December 1, 2025. However, according to the public, the company started stacking steel slag as early as June 2023.
Was there an environmental impact assessment in these two years from 2023 to 2025? Did the ecological environment department intervene?
The Lingyuan Branch's (凌源分局) answer was no. Zhang Yan (张岩) said: "Whether to conduct an environmental impact assessment, we are based on the 'Classification Management Directory of Environmental Impact Assessment for Construction Projects' (建设项目环境影响评价分类管理名录). Previously, Chuanggao Company (创高公司) did not carry out deep processing of steel slag, but only temporarily stacked it and sold it to other companies. We apply Article 53 of the directory 'Loading, unloading, handling and warehousing industry' to manage it, and environmental assessment exemption is possible." Later, Chuanggao Company (创高公司) wanted to carry out deep processing of steel slag and build waste steel slag production lines and permeable brick production lines, so it referred to the relevant requirements of the directory to conduct environmental impact assessment.
Some people feel puzzled by this statement: "The steel slag has been piled up in the village for several years, can it still be called temporary storage? The slag and soil are falling everywhere, everyone can see and touch it, does it mean that if there is no basis in the document, there is no need to assess its impact on the environment?"
What is the nature of the land where these three steel slag piles are located, and does it occupy cultivated land or forest land? The relevant person in charge of the Lingyuan Municipal Government (凌源市政府) said that after consulting the data, the stacking point of Chuanggao Company (创高公司) in Heigou Village (黑沟村) is industrial and mining land, and the land nature of the stacking point in Kangzhangzi Village (康杖子村) is agricultural land.
The person in charge emphasized that the steel slag stacking point in Kangzhangzi Village (康杖子村) had previously been included in the scope of rectification. The site stored about 1,000 tons of steel slag, which was actively purchased by the cattle farm operator to harden the site, and Chuanggao Company (创高公司) did not rent the cattle farm to stack steel slag.
Is it "actively purchased" or "rented for stacking"? Further verification is needed. As for the steel slag pile found by the reporter in Liuwopu Village (刘窝铺村), the relevant departments of Lingyuan City (凌源市) stated that "the situation has not been grasped and will be immediately investigated and rectified."
Experts believe that even "temporary storage" must meet environmental protection standards; local relevant departments said that they will invest 10 million yuan to treat steel slag
Will open-air stacking cause pollution to soil and groundwater? "Steel slag belongs to industrial solid waste. If it is stacked in the open air next to cultivated land at will, it is very easy to cause occupation, dust, and leakage of leachate, leading to soil alkalization, heavy metal pollution, and water pollution." Ma Haijun (马海军), a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and head of the Qinghai Provincial Ecological Environment Protection Lawyer Service Group, who has long been concerned about environmental protection, said.
Is it appropriate to stack steel slag near rivers, cultivated land, and water source protection areas? Wen Zongguo (温宗国), a professor at the Institute of Solid Waste Control and Resource Utilization, School of Environment, Tsinghua University, said that a compliant steel slag stacking yard must complete strict anti-seepage, anti-leakage, and anti-scattering projects, and obtain approval procedures from ecological environment, water conservancy, natural resources, and other departments in accordance with the law. "Stacking yards set up near cultivated land and rivers usually violate the relevant solid waste management requirements such as the 'Pollution Control Standard for Storage and Landfill of General Industrial Solid Waste' (一般工业固体废物贮存和填埋污染控制标准)."
"Even if the enterprise claims to be 'temporary storage,' it should build industrial solid waste storage and disposal facilities and sites with anti-seepage and anti-leakage measures, which must meet national environmental protection standards. Ordinary open-air stacking obviously cannot meet this requirement." Ma Haijun (马海军) said.
The relevant person in charge of the Lingyuan Municipal Government (凌源市政府) said that the local government has taken various measures to rectify the environmental problems caused by steel slag stacking. "We have cleaned up 110,000 tons of steel slag to solid waste landfills and treated 37,000 tons of steel slag for disposal. At the same time, we have traced the source of some steel slag and required the discharging enterprises to dispose of it."
According to reports, for the steel slag pile in the Chuanggao Company (创高公司) compound, the Lingyuan Branch (凌源分局) has required it to be reduced in height, from more than 200,000 tons to the current 150,000 tons, and urged it to install a shed to prevent wind and rain; the steel slag pile in Kangzhangzi Village (康杖子村) is expected to be cleared within a week; the steel slag pile in Liuwopu Village (刘窝铺村) is being verified and will be rectified as soon as possible; further testing will also be carried out on groundwater.
The relevant person in charge of the Lingyuan Branch (凌源分局) said that experts from the Solid Waste and Chemicals Management Technology Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment were also invited to the site for guidance during the previous rectification and treatment of steel slag stacking.
It is worth noting that Chuanggao Company (创高公司) started stacking steel slag in 2023, and it was not until 2025, after the public reported it, that it attracted the attention of relevant departments. "In terms of supervision, we definitely have a responsibility." Zheng Yongfang (郑永芳), director of the Lingyuan Branch (凌源分局), admitted frankly.
Zhang Yan (张岩) also said that the lack of manpower is the reason for the inadequate supervision. "We have 4 law enforcement teams, each with 3 people, responsible for five or six townships, and the law enforcement force is somewhat weak."
At the same time, Zheng Yongfang (郑永芳) proposed that waste-producing enterprises should also strengthen self-discipline. "Strict requirements should be made during bidding, and steel slag recycling enterprises with qualifications and capabilities should be selected." Zheng Yongfang (郑永芳) said.
It is understood that the steel slag of Chuanggao Company (创高公司) comes from Lingyuan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (凌源钢铁股份有限公司), a large local iron and steel enterprise. According to the current Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste (固体废物污染环境防治法), units that generate industrial solid waste shall establish and improve a responsibility system for the prevention and control of environmental pollution throughout the entire process of generation, collection, storage, transportation, utilization, and disposal of industrial solid waste.
The relevant person in charge of the Lingyuan Municipal Government (凌源市政府) said that relevant departments will invest 10 million yuan to treat the stacked steel slag, urge Chuanggao Company (创高公司) to strengthen the "three prevention" treatment of the steel slag pile in the factory area, and at the same time investigate the steel slag stacking problem in the city, **举一反三** (jǔ yī fǎn sān - "infer the rest from one case," to draw inferences about other things from one instance), and ensure ecological and environmental safety.
Return to TopOn February 9th, the People's Daily "Letters from Readers" section published "Delays Plunge This Small and Micro Enterprise into Despair," reflecting that our company was plunged into a desperate situation due to a cumulative arrears of more than 60 million yuan by China Construction Third Engineering Bureau Group Co., Ltd. Northwest Branch (中建三局集团有限公司西北分公司), China Construction Fifth Engineering Division Third Company Northwest Company (中建五局三公司西北公司), Shaanxi Hongtai Municipal Construction Development Co., Ltd. (陕西宏太市政建设发展有限公司), Shaanxi Huashan Road and Bridge Group Co., Ltd. (陕西华山路桥集团有限公司), and the Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau of Yanta District, Xi'an (西安市雁塔区城市管理和综合执法局).
After the report was published, the above-mentioned units, as well as the Shaanxi Provincial Debt Clearing Office (陕西省清欠办) and the Xi'an Municipal Debt Clearing Office (西安市清欠办), actively contacted us. Among them, Shaanxi Hongtai Municipal Construction Development Co., Ltd. (陕西宏太市政建设发展有限公司), based on the starting point of helping small and micro enterprises overcome difficulties, paid our company more than 510,000 yuan without the Xi'an Municipal Housing and Construction Bureau (西安市住建局) issuing an audit result. Shaanxi Huashan Road and Bridge Group Co., Ltd. (陕西华山路桥集团有限公司) paid us 700,000 yuan. The Urban Management and Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau of Yanta District, Xi'an (西安市雁塔区城市管理和综合执法局) completed the relevant procedures and paid us more than 1.4 million yuan, settling all outstanding payments. So far, the undisputed part of the arrears of project funds has been fully resolved, and the company's difficulties have been partially alleviated, but most of the unaudited funds have not yet been settled. We hope that relevant departments in Xi'an (西安市) can speed up the audit progress so that we can overcome the difficulties.

Return to TopI am a resident of Qindeli Farm (勤得利农场) in Jiamusi City (佳木斯市), Heilongjiang (黑龙江). As a key project for the people's livelihood, the farm has carried out construction and renovation of the water supply infrastructure for residents in recent years. The installation has been completed in other areas of the farm, but only the Third Residents' Committee (第三居民委), where I live, has not been installed, even though the water meters were purchased in 2018.
Over the years, we have repeatedly reported the issue of water meter installation to relevant departments, and the answer we received has always been "wait a little longer for installation." In 2019, the handling opinion of the petition matter promised that non-contact IC card smart water meters in the area under the jurisdiction of the Third Residents' Committee (第三居民委) would be installed in 2020. However, six years have passed and they have still not been installed. The lack of water meters has caused great inconvenience to residents' lives. I hope that relevant departments will pay attention to this issue and urge a quick resolution.

Return to TopOptimizing High-Speed Train Carriages
Increasing Space for Large Luggage
Recently, while riding a high-speed train, I noticed that many passengers were traveling with large suitcases, such as 26-inch and 28-inch ones. However, the space in the luggage areas at both ends of the carriages was limited, and often the luggage area was "full" even before the passengers were. Some passengers had to pile their bags in front of their seats or next to the aisle, or even forcibly stuff them into the small overhead luggage racks. This not only affects passenger traffic but also poses a safety hazard.
I hope that the railway department will pay attention to this situation and take some optimization measures. For example, in the design of new cars or the renovation of old cars, the area of the luggage area can be appropriately expanded, or layered, vertical, or fixed and foldable luggage racks can be introduced to maximize the utilization of luggage space in the carriages. In terms of service management, a "large luggage online declaration mechanism" can be established based on the Railway 12306 platform to guide passengers to check the luggage size when purchasing tickets, complete "advance reservations," dynamically predict the luggage space in the carriages, and guide passengers to plan their luggage reasonably, thereby alleviating storage pressure from the source.

Relying Primarily on Village Doctors
Popularizing First Aid Knowledge in Rural Areas
I recently returned to my rural hometown and witnessed an elderly person collapsing in the field while working due to a sudden illness. The villagers gathered around were extremely anxious. Some tried to pinch the philtrum, some suggested quickly pouring hot water, and some hurriedly called for emergency help. Other than that, they could only wait. By the time the ambulance finally arrived from the county seat, the elderly person had already missed the best rescue time.
In rural areas, accidental incidents such as agricultural machinery injuries, pesticide poisoning, drowning, and carbon monoxide poisoning require correct handling at the first moment. There are mostly elderly people and left-behind children in the villages, and the distance to county and township hospitals is usually far, and professional emergency rescue forces are relatively weak. In this case, it is particularly important to popularize first aid knowledge and cultivate rural "first responders." It is recommended to rely primarily on village doctors to conduct standardized first aid instructor training. Professional training should be conducted for high-incidence rural emergency scenarios, such as cardiac arrest, airway foreign bodies, burns and scalds, and childhood drowning. At the same time, on-site popularization can also be carried out during village gatherings, and relevant knowledge can be compiled into situational rhymes, which can be widely publicized to more villagers through loudspeakers and WeChat groups.

"I've been calling from noon to afternoon, and I haven't gotten through once." Recently, Ms. Liu from Changsha (长沙市), Hunan (湖南) Province, reported that after leaving her job, she planned to apply for unemployment insurance benefits and contacted the social security department of the county/district where she was located to inquire about the required materials. As a result, she dialed the phone repeatedly, but the line was always busy.
The reporter tried to call the Changsha Yuhua District (长沙市雨花区) Social Security Center, where Ms. Liu is located, at different times and found that the line was frequently busy during peak hours, but could be reached near the end of the working day. After the call failed, a text message with a link to the local social security unit's official website was received.
Empty numbers, busy signals, no one answering... Some readers and netizens have reported that when they don't know how to handle certain matters or need to inquire about certain information, they usually want to get a preliminary understanding by phone first to reduce wasted trips, but the hotline numbers published by some departments are "difficult to get through."
After graduating from university, Mr. Jia, a reader from Qingdao (青岛市), Shandong (山东) Province, needed to transfer his party organizational relationship from Beijing (北京) back to his hometown, but he was unable to get through to the Qingdao Party Member Consultation Service phone number. He had to take special leave to return home to handle it. The reporter dialed the relevant number and, after being transferred to the corresponding area code, either encountered a continuous busy signal or no one answered.
Mr. Guo from Changchun (长春市), Jilin (吉林) Province, wrote to report that he intended to visit the Dagushan Scenic Area (大孤山景区) in Dandong (丹东市), Liaoning (辽宁) Province, before the Spring Festival this year and wanted to inquire in advance, but found that the scenic area's phone number was difficult to find and even more difficult to get through.
"I left a message on the local cultural and tourism official public account 'Dandong Wenlv Zhizheng' (丹东文旅之声) to inquire about the scenic area's phone number, and only received an automatic reply 'We have received your question and will answer it later.'" However, the numbers found on internet map platforms were all "non-existent." In the end, Mr. Guo gave up his travel plan to Dagushan.
Why is it "difficult to get through" on the phone? Sometimes it is because there are too many people calling. An employee of a county social security center told reporters that the service hotline is difficult to get through because there are many people calling for consultation, the phone line is busy, or the staff is too busy. In a post reflecting the difficulty of getting through to the government service hotline, some netizens left messages expressing their understanding: "Go to the social security center window and see how many people are queuing up every day, and you will know why no one answers the phone." "If you answer the phone, people who handle affairs complain that it is slow and want to complain; if you don't answer the phone, people who call also want to complain."
Sometimes there are indeed man-made obstacles. Mr. Cai from Hangzhou (杭州市), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, said that he could not get through to the Yuhang District (余杭区) Employment Management Service Center when applying for flexible employment subsidies. When he arrived at the service center, he found that the telephone receiver was hanging in the air. "I stayed for 15 minutes before and after, and it was always in this state." Afterwards, the relevant departments responded that it was placed there by staff during lunch break, and two people involved were given admonishment and a notice of criticism respectively.
Netizen Ms. Yuan recently complained on the "Leaders' Message Board" of People's Daily Online that she dialed the publicly announced phone number of the Chengguan District (城关区) Urban Management Bureau of Lanzhou (兰州市), Gansu (甘肃) Province, on March 6 and March 20. Each time she connected, there was a very harsh sound and she could not hear anyone speaking. She thought the phone was broken. Unexpectedly, the Chengguan District People's Government Supervision Office replied that, after verification and understanding by the Urban Management Bureau of the district, the number was actually a fax number, and the office of the Chengguan District Urban Management Bureau had another number. The reporter searched online for the information disclosure guide of the Chengguan District Urban Management Bureau and found that the original number was still publicly disclosed.
Similarly, netizen Ms. Zhang dialed the office phone number of Fuxing Kindergarten (复兴幼儿园) published in the "Public Institutions Information" of government affairs disclosure in Hexi District (河西区), Tianjin (天津市), but could not get through. After she left a message on the "Leaders' Message Board" of People's Daily Online, the Hexi District Committee instructed the District Education Bureau to investigate and deal with it, and informed her of the kindergarten's new contact number. However, as of press time, the reporter found that the old phone number of the kindergarten was still listed on the webpage.
In this regard, He Zhe, a professor at the National Governance Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School (National Academy of Governance), said that in the past two years, many places have increased their efforts to build service hotlines. From a quantitative point of view, the number of calls that cannot get through should still be a minority. "General government hotlines such as 12345 are very smooth, and many people can effectively reflect problems through this channel." He also said that many places are promoting institutional reforms, streamlining and merging some public institutions, especially public institutions, resulting in untimely information updates, which is also an important reason why hotline calls cannot get through.
For ordinary people, the "difficulty in getting through" on the hotline is not only that the phone is not answered, but it may also mean taking detours and making extra trips. Making the hotline smooth is essentially making it more convenient for the public to handle government service matters and plan their travel. In this regard, Ms. Gao, a reader from Heze (菏泽市), Shandong Province, said bluntly: "Since the phone number is published, it is for people to call. Keeping it open during working hours should be a basic requirement." Mr. Yao, a reader from Haidian District (海淀区), Beijing (北京), used to work in the customer service industry. He said that he can understand the situation where the window is busy and cannot answer the phone for a while, but the key is whether there is feedback or response afterwards. "For example, through return visits, text message replies, or guiding users to reflect problems through other channels."
Mr. Guo said that the Dandong Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism later replied to him that the Dagushan Scenic Area was in the process of handing over between new and old operating companies before the Spring Festival this year, and the phone number had not been updated in time. Mr. Guo suggested that, in similar situations, can the scenic area use new media and ticket purchase platforms to issue statements to inform tourists of the reason why the phone cannot be connected; or temporarily open a way to contact the scenic area, and not allow tourists to be unable to contact for a period of time due to the adjustment of the scenic area. "A city, a scenic spot, in addition to irreplaceable natural resources and cultural heritage, should also make efforts in service details and let tourists perceive the warmth of culture and tourism."
He Zhe suggested that the telephone channel should not be ignored because there are new online channels. "Key-to-key" cannot replace direct verbal communication. Keeping the hotline channel open can provide convenience for people to consult or reflect problems. Although answering the phone is time-consuming and laborious, the communication is more direct and the feedback is more timely, thereby shortening the psychological distance between relevant departments, units and the public.

On the shores of the Bohai Sea and along the Grand Canal, the spring tide surges. Construction of the Renqiu West Station (任丘西站) plaza of the Xiongshang High-Speed Railway (雄商高铁) is in full swing; at the ore wharf of the Huanghua Port (黄骅港) comprehensive port area, giant ship unloaders rise and fall, and large ships berth and operate in an orderly manner; in the high-standard farmland of Houxianzhuang Village (后仙庄村), Jiucheng Town (旧城镇), Huanghua City (黄骅市), Bohai New Area (渤海新区), the lush drought-tolerant wheat seedlings sway in the wind, rippling in layers... In May, the "Lion City Cangzhou (狮城沧州)" presents a vibrant scene.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Cangzhou City (沧州市), Hebei Province (河北省), actively integrated into the overall situation of the coordinated development of Beijing (北京), Tianjin (天津), and Hebei (河北) by focusing on the "three articles" of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the planning and construction of Huanghua Port (黄骅港), and the comprehensive utilization of saline-alkali land. A total of 317 Beijing-Tianjin projects were signed, with a total investment of 144.8 billion yuan, and 56 secondary and tertiary subsidiaries of central enterprises were introduced and landed. A number of major transportation projects, such as the Shijiazhuang-Hengshui-Cangzhou-Huanghua Port Intercity Railway (石衡沧港城际铁路), have started construction. Huanghua Port (黄骅港) has been upgraded to a major coastal port in the country, with 7 productive berths built and 4 foreign trade routes opened. The total number of inland ports reached 31, and the cargo throughput exceeded 300 million tons for five consecutive years. "Cangzhou Drought-Tolerant Wheat (沧州旱碱麦)" has been approved as a provincial regional public brand, with a total industrial chain output value of 14.1 billion yuan...
Tighter "Chain" with Beijing and Tianjin
Since 2023, Cangzhou City (沧州市), Hebei Province (河北省), has signed a total of 170 Beijing-Tianjin projects with a total investment of 68.4 billion yuan, and introduced and landed 50 secondary and tertiary subsidiaries of central enterprises. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) · Cangzhou (沧州) Biomedical Industry Park was unveiled, achieving a "zero breakthrough" in the transfer and undertaking of Beijing's (北京) pharmaceutical preparation industry. As of now, the park has a total of 70 resident enterprises. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei National High-tech Zone Alliance Conference and the China (Cangzhou) Membrane Industry Development Conference were successfully held. Cooperation with Tianjin Rongcheng New Energy Technology Group (天津荣程新能科技集团) and Beijing Hydrogen Fuel Technology Co., Ltd. (北京氢燃科技有限公司) has been deepened to jointly build an important supply base for hydrogen energy resources and a pilot demonstration zone for hydrogen energy innovation applications in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) region.
Recently, at the site of the Mengxi-Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (蒙西—京津冀) ±800 kV ultra-high voltage DC power transmission project in Hejian City (河间市), vehicles shuttle back and forth and construction machinery roars. This "power highway," about 700 kilometers long, starts from Ordos (鄂尔多斯), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), and ends in Cangzhou (沧州), Hebei (河北), and is the first ultra-high voltage DC project to land in the Hebei (河北) region. The project is planned to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2027, and can transmit more than 36 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity to the load center of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) every year, of which the proportion of new energy power exceeds half, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 16.6 million tons, injecting strong momentum into the green and low-carbon development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀).
Since 2023, Cangzhou City (沧州市) has absorbed more than 20 billion yuan in transaction volume of Beijing-Tianjin technology contracts, and the innovation chain and industrial chain are moving in both directions. Cangzhou (沧州) has signed cooperation agreements with Tsinghua University (清华大学) and other 3 Beijing-Tianjin (京津) universities and research institutes. The Hebei Branch of the National Beidou Navigation Location Service Data Center (国家北斗导航位置服务数据中心河北分中心) and the Yanzhao Green Chemical Laboratory (燕赵绿色化工实验室) and other platforms have been unveiled and put into operation.
Transportation is the "pioneer" of coordinated development. In the spring, the second phase of the Qugang Expressway (曲港高速), the second phase of the Handan-Huanghua Port Expressway (邯港高速), and the Qingcang Expressway (青沧快速路) have all started construction, and the Shijiazhuang-Hengshui-Cangzhou-Huanghua Port Intercity Railway (石衡沧港城际铁路), the Xiongshang High-Speed Railway (雄商高铁), and the Jinan-Weifang High-Speed Railway (津潍高铁) are under construction.
With industrial prosperity and smooth transportation, people's well-being is warmer. In the past three years, 240 backbone principals and 310 teachers have gone to Beijing and Tianjin (京津) to "learn from experience"; 27 Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) medical alliances have been established, the test results of 57 hospitals are mutually recognized, and the images of 37 institutions are shared; 24,700 elderly people from Beijing and Tianjin (京津) have come to Cangzhou (沧州) for elderly care; and "Hebei Fuso (河北福嫂)" services have been provided to many Beijing and Tianjin (京津) families.
In 2026, Cangzhou (沧州) will continue to comprehensively deepen cooperation with Beijing (北京), Tianjin (天津), and Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区), actively introduce secondary and tertiary subsidiaries of central enterprises, and plans to sign no less than 50 Beijing-Tianjin projects throughout the year with a total investment of more than 10 billion yuan. It is expected that the transaction volume of Beijing-Tianjin technology contracts will exceed 10 billion yuan, promoting coordinated development to a new level.
Huanghua Port (黄骅港) Chasing the Blue Sea
Around the positioning of "multi-functional, comprehensive, modern large port" and "important hub port for west-to-east coal transportation and north-to-south coal transportation," Cangzhou City (沧州市) is accelerating the construction of Huanghua Port (黄骅港), using opening-up and cooperation as an engine to depict a new picture of the pan-coastal shipping ecology.
As of the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan," Huanghua Port (黄骅港) has opened 21 domestic and foreign trade container routes, and has trade exchanges with more than 200 ports in more than 50 countries and regions; through 32 inland ports, the port of departure is "moved" to the "doorstep" of enterprises in the central and western regions. This two-way effort of "extending inland" and "expanding to the ocean" is of great significance for Cangzhou City (沧州市) to integrate into and serve the new development pattern. Huanghua Port (黄骅港) is transforming from a traditional "end port" to a "radiation-type hub port" and an "international gateway port."
As of the end of 2025, Huanghua Port (黄骅港) has built a total of 47 productive berths, with an annual designed throughput capacity of 289 million tons/950,000 TEUs, and the "full cargo category" functions such as containers, oil products, and ro-ro are accelerating to be completed; the first railway central station and international logistics center have been built and put into operation; coal yards and mineral powder yards for bulk cargo terminals have been completed one after another; the interconnection of transportation has continued to accelerate, and the first phase of the Handan-Huanghua Port Expressway (邯港高速) and the reconstruction and expansion project of the Cangzhou section of the Rongcheng-Wuhai Expressway (荣乌高速) (Tianjin direction) have been officially opened to traffic; the Handan-Huanghua (邯黄), Shuozhou-Huanghua (朔黄), and Cangzhou-Huanghua Port (沧港) 3 port-entry railways have achieved interconnection, building a three-dimensional transportation system of "multi-horizontal and multi-vertical highway network + 3 railway corridors + belt liquefaction pipeline corridor."
Cangzhou (沧州) relies on the Huanghua Port (黄骅港) Xiong'an (雄安) Comprehensive Service Center established in the Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区) Comprehensive Bonded Zone to pre-position the functions of port declaration, booking, inspection, and inspection and quarantine. At the same time, it gives full play to the advantages of the Huanghua Port (黄骅港) - Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区) inland port to create the most convenient port of departure for Xiong'an New Area (雄安新区).
In order to improve trade facilitation and comprehensive service levels, Huanghua Port Customs (黄骅港海关) takes the Northern (Cangzhou) Cross-border E-commerce Logistics Base (北方（沧州）跨境电商物流基地) as a breakthrough point and deeply promotes the new regulatory model of "inspection before loading" for cross-border e-commerce export LCL cargo. With the continuous growth of trade volume of various categories of goods, Cangzhou (沧州) actively expands and improves logistics service functions, and accelerates the construction of a full logistics supply chain service system of "inland port + railway transportation + port distribution and transaction + supply chain service" to create new advantages in logistics business.
In 2025, the daily throughput of the Huanghua Port (黄骅港) comprehensive port area and bulk cargo port area exceeded 624,700 tons at most, breaking the historical record since the opening of Huanghua Port (黄骅港); the annual cargo throughput was 366 million tons and the container throughput was 1.187 million TEUs. Huanghua Port (黄骅港) has successfully moved from a traditional energy export port to a comprehensive trade hub port with diversified functions, radiating inside and outside, and operating efficiently.
Seeking Abundance from Saline-Alkali Land
Cangzhou City (沧州市) has 4.0858 million mu of saline-alkali cultivated land, accounting for 71.65% of the saline-alkali cultivated land area in the province. How to maximize the value of this vast saline-alkali land is an important issue for Cangzhou (沧州) to promote high-quality agricultural development and ensure national food security.
In order to promote the comprehensive utilization of saline-alkali land and deeply explore the potential for increasing income from saline-alkali land, Cangzhou City (沧州市) has formulated the "Cangzhou City Saline-Alkali Land Comprehensive Utilization Plan (2024-2030)" to systematically implement the "four major actions" of saline-alkali cultivated land transformation and upgrading, characteristic crop research and promotion, high-value product intensive processing, and characteristic brand matrix shaping, and create a Cangzhou model for the comprehensive utilization of saline-alkali land with the development of the entire industrial chain.
Seeds are the "chips" of agriculture. Relying on the Drought-Tolerant Wheat Characteristic Industry Innovation Base of the National Saline-Alkali Land Comprehensive Utilization Technology Innovation Center (国家盐碱地综合利用技术创新中心旱碱麦特色产业创新基地) and the Nanpi Ecological Agriculture Experimental Station of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院南皮生态农业试验站) and other platforms, Cangzhou (沧州) has successfully bred a number of high-quality drought-tolerant wheat varieties such as "Jiemai 20 (捷麦20)" and "Cangmai 6002 (沧麦6002)," among which the actual yield per mu of the "Cangmai 6002 (沧麦6002)" demonstration square reached 597 kg.
The breeding of drought-tolerant wheat is accelerating, and good news has also come from corn breeding on saline-alkali land. Xinongren (新农人) in Xidazhuang Village (西大庄村), Jiucheng Town (旧城镇), Huanghua City (黄骅市), Bohai New Area (渤海新区), jointly with corn breeding experts, have cultivated a new corn variety "Cangyan 86 (沧研86)."
Cangzhou (沧州) has deeply implemented the strategy of "storing grain in technology," promoted the "six-step method" of drought-tolerant wheat planting, released 32 local standards, and explored 3 types of graded utilization models for saline-alkali land: grain and oil planting on lightly saline-alkali land, grain and feed rotation on moderately saline-alkali land, and exploration and utilization on severely saline-alkali land. Alfalfa, winter jujube and other characteristic crops and "Nanqi Fennel (南齐茴香)" and "Mengcun Alkali Pear (孟村碱梨)" sell well throughout the country.
Land generates gold, and the industry extends the chain. Cangzhou (沧州) has carried out in-depth research on unique qualities, highlighting the characteristics of drought-tolerant wheat rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols and their health value, and developed high value-added products. At present, the熟化半干面 (shú huà bàn gān miàn) processing technology has been successfully developed, and more than 20 deep-processed products such as drought-tolerant wheat mixed grain flour, drought-tolerant wheat beer, drought-tolerant wheat sprouted tea, and whole grain flour have been developed, of which 10 products have been localized in Cangzhou (沧州).
In the future, Cangzhou City (沧州市) will promote the development of the characteristic intensive processing industry of saline-alkali land, create more popular products in the market, and let the taste of Cangzhou (沧州) float farther through holding high-end promotion and sales activities.

Inaugural Message
On May 17, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) chaired a symposium on philosophy and social sciences, proposing to "accelerate the construction of a philosophy and social science system with Chinese characteristics." On April 25, 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized during his visit to Renmin University of China (中国人民大学) that "accelerating the construction of a philosophy and social science system with Chinese characteristics ultimately means constructing China's independent knowledge system." Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in building an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, strengthening the academic confidence of China's philosophy and social science community and the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation. Starting today, the theory section of this newspaper will launch a column titled "Accelerating the Construction of an Independent Knowledge System for Philosophy and Social Sciences with Chinese Characteristics" to showcase the rich achievements and in-depth reflections on accelerating the construction of an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics.
Since the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), standing at the strategic height of the long-term development of the Party and the country's cause and the sustainable development of Chinese civilization and culture, has delivered a series of important speeches on building an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics. These speeches profoundly answer important questions such as why to build an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics and how to build it, reflecting the Party's new understanding of the laws governing the development of philosophy and social sciences, and providing fundamental guidance for accelerating the construction of an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics.
The Contemporary Value of Building an Independent Knowledge System for Philosophy and Social Sciences with Chinese Characteristics
Accelerating the construction of an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics is an important measure to continuously advance the Sinicization of Marxism in the new era and comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the nation with Chinese-style modernization. It is also an important mission that China's philosophy and social science workers cannot shirk.
It is a strategic need to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics and comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the nation with Chinese-style modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "To uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, we need to constantly explore in practice and theory, and guide the developing practice with developing theory. In this process, philosophy and social sciences have an irreplaceable important position, and philosophy and social science workers have an irreplaceable important role." Entering the new era, our Party's understanding of the laws of socialist modernization has reached a new height. Theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation in Chinese-style modernization have yielded fruitful results, urgently requiring philosophy and social sciences to conduct systematic theoretical generalization, academic value condensation, and systematic discourse construction, build an independent knowledge system with strong explanatory power, appeal, and leadership, and provide profound academic support and strong spiritual motivation for Chinese-style modernization.
It is an inevitable requirement for advancing the Sinicization of Marxism in the new era. The formation, innovation, and development of China's independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences is not only a process of using the Sinicized Marxism of the new era to interpret Chinese practice, summarize Chinese experience, refine Chinese concepts, and form Chinese knowledge, but also a process of providing knowledge materials, theoretical nourishment, and achievement forms for continuously advancing the Sinicization of Marxism in the new era. The innovative development of this system can promote the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and with China's outstanding traditional culture from a deep academic dimension, promote the paradigm innovation of knowledge production in China's philosophy and social sciences in a systematic and integrated way, and help solve major theoretical and practical problems in the process of Chinese-style modernization. With its high degree of identification and leadership, this system helps enhance the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation and promotes the continuous realization of the dual leap of the Sinicization of Marxism in the new era from theoretical form to practical effectiveness and from explaining the world to transforming the world.
It is an important guarantee for the prosperity and development of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era and for safeguarding China's ideological security. Philosophy and social sciences have distinct ideological attributes. Through systematic theoretical innovation, China's independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences provides an academic interpretation framework for socialist core values, endowing the "Four Confidences" with a sense of historical depth, theoretical penetration, and realistic persuasiveness. This is conducive to breaking the Western academic discourse hegemony, taking the initiative in civilizational dialogue, providing original knowledge supply for the prosperity and development of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and injecting a continuous impetus for development into the construction of spiritual civilization.
Adhere to Taking the Party's Innovative Theory as Guidance
To build an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, we must unswervingly integrate the core essence, spiritual substance, rich connotation, practical requirements, and the positions, viewpoints, and methods running through Xi Jinping (习近平)'s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into all aspects and links of academic research and discipline construction. We must take the identifying concepts, original ideological viewpoints, and principled theoretical achievements of this important thought as the value base and theoretical anchor point, continuously calibrate the value direction of China's philosophy and social sciences, and consolidate the theoretical foundation of disciplines.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Adhering to Marxism as guidance is the fundamental symbol that distinguishes contemporary Chinese philosophy and social sciences from other philosophy and social sciences, and it must be adhered to with a clear banner." Xi Jinping (习近平)'s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st-century Marxism. It is the essence of Chinese culture and the Chinese spirit of the times, a brilliant example of the "two combinations," and has realized a new leap in the Sinicization of Marxism in the new era.
To adhere to Marxism as guidance in building an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, we must adhere to Xi Jinping (习近平)'s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as guidance, transform and internalize the positions, viewpoints, and methods contained in this important thought into philosophical and social science academic research and discipline construction. On the basis of ensuring the correct political direction, value orientation, and academic orientation, we must deeply grasp the theoretical base point status of identifying concepts, deeply elaborate the value orientation, spirit of the times, and theoretical contributions of original ideological viewpoints, deeply understand the guiding and driving role of principled theoretical achievements for the innovative development of the discipline system, academic system, and discourse system, and continuously innovate research methods, research perspectives, and research paths to form research paradigms that meet the requirements of the times and have Chinese characteristics. We must focus on the Party and the country's major theoretical and practical problems as the main direction of attack, and promote the innovative development of Chinese philosophy and social sciences in the research and resolution of major theoretical and practical problems.
Highlight Chinese Characteristics, Adhere to Independence and Self-Reliance
To build an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, we must firmly adhere to independence and self-reliance, always adhere to nationality, locality, and autonomy, conduct theoretical refinement of Chinese solutions, Chinese propositions, and Chinese experiences, obtain more theoretical achievements with subjectivity, timeliness, originality, and principle, and promote the formation of a systematic and professional innovation system.
Connect "Inward Deep Cultivation" with "Outward Opening." Building an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics focuses on balancing uniqueness and universality, nationality and globality. Outstanding traditional Chinese culture provides rich cultural nourishment for building an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics. Creatively transforming and innovatively developing outstanding traditional Chinese culture, and promoting the ancient for today's use and bringing forth the new from the old in Chinese culture, is an important task in building an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics. Building an independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics should highlight practical orientation, adhere to rooting in China's land and facing the Chinese people, and at the same time actively exchange with the world's philosophy and social science knowledge systems. On the one hand, we should focus on strengthening the academic research and interpretation of major practical problems, adhere to the equal emphasis on researching real problems and truly researching problems, focus on the major theoretical and practical problems that urgently need to be solved in the national development process, and actively respond to the questions of China, the questions of the world, the questions of the people, and the questions of the times. On the other hand, we should actively, proactively, and confidently participate in international academic dialogue and cooperation, absorb and learn from the beneficial results of research in other countries, highlight our own characteristics and advantages in comparison, and let the world better understand Chinese philosophy and social sciences, and let Chinese philosophy and social sciences better go to the world.
Enrich New Era Connotations and Revitalize New Vitality. The timeliness of China's independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences is centrally embodied in originality. In building this system in the process of enriching timeliness and embodying originality, we need to directly face the vivid practices of the new era, systematically interpret the deep codes of China's development and the successful experiences of the Chinese path, and explore from them the growth points and innovation sources for the further development and improvement of the independent knowledge system. To achieve systematic interpretation, we must reflect comprehensiveness and achieve all-round, all-field, and all-element coverage. We must reflect professionalism, and carry out professional, theoretical, academic, and scholarly generalization and summarization of the principles, experiences, and laws contained in the development practice of the new era, and refine academic discourse and knowledge discourse with classic, iconic, and professional characteristics, so as to provide systematic support for the construction of the Chinese-characteristic philosophy and social science discipline system, academic system, and discourse system, and provide deep academic nourishment for continuously promoting the Sinicization of Marxism in the new era.
Strengthen Advantages and Make Up for Shortcomings on the Basis of Existing Achievements. In the new era, China's philosophy and social sciences have made significant progress on the basis of the achievements of predecessors: in interpreting the Party's innovative theories and promoting the Sinicization of Marxism in the new era, in promoting outstanding traditional Chinese culture, revolutionary culture, and advanced socialist culture, in building a socialist core value system, strengthening ideological front construction and management, in widely carrying out international academic and cultural exchanges, enhancing national cultural soft power and the influence of Chinese culture, and in building a Chinese-characteristic philosophy and social science discipline system, academic system, and discourse system, etc., China's philosophy and social science workers have made important contributions. At the same time, it should be seen that, compared with the new era, new situation, and new tasks, compared with the requirements of the Party Central Committee and the needs of the broad masses of the people, there are still many topics that need to be tackled in the construction of China's independent knowledge system for philosophy and social sciences. For example, how to further strengthen the research, interpretation, transformation, and application of the Party's innovative theories, so that they become the thinking methods, thinking paradigms, and ideological consciousness that the broad masses of cadres and the people use every day without realizing it and that are deeply rooted in their minds; how to cultivate a backbone talent team with profound Marxist theoretical foundation, a thorough understanding of Chinese and Western cultures, courage to innovate, and a combination of "old, middle-aged, and young" people... To overcome these topics, philosophy and social science workers need to base themselves on the "two overall situations," both rooting in China's land and taking solving China's problems as the starting point, highlighting subjectivity and originality; and actively participating in global civilizational dialogue, reflecting a global vision and human feelings, grasping the initiative in the surge of the times, and promoting the development and progress of human civilization in promoting the prosperity and development of Chinese philosophy and social sciences.

To seek a tree's long growth, one must secure its roots; to desire a river's far flow, one must dredge its source. Only when built upon a solid theoretical foundation can China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system have a long and continuous source, be deeply rooted and luxuriant, become an important tool for us to understand and transform the world, and become an important force for promoting the development of the times and the progress of mankind.
Consolidating the theoretical foundation is the prerequisite and basis for building an independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences in China.
The theoretical foundation of philosophy and social sciences is the fundamental, prerequisite, and guiding thought, principles, and doctrines that support the knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences, reflecting the underlying logic, basic stance, and fundamental basis for the construction of the knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences. Consolidating the theoretical foundation of China's philosophy and social sciences is of fundamental and prerequisite importance for accelerating the construction of an independent knowledge system.
Consolidating the theoretical foundation is a necessary requirement for ensuring the correct direction of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. To accelerate the construction of an independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences in China, we must adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, take the basic principles of Marxism as the theoretical cornerstone, and adhere to a research orientation centered on the people. On the one hand, Marxism's revelation of the materiality of the world and its laws of development, human society and its laws of development, the essence of knowledge and its laws of development, etc., provides a scientific worldview and methodology for China's philosophy and social sciences, which is the fundamental prerequisite for the scientific and autonomous nature of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. On the other hand, only by adhering to the guiding position of Marxism can we firmly establish a research orientation centered on the people, ensure that China's philosophy and social sciences always serve the people, and create more research results that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history.
Consolidating the theoretical foundation is an urgent need to enhance the subjectivity of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "Whether our philosophy and social sciences have Chinese characteristics depends, in the final analysis, on whether they have subjectivity and originality." Subjectivity is a prerequisite for autonomy; without subjectivity, there is no autonomy. The fundamental reason why the philosophy and social sciences of various countries in the world exhibit different subjectivities lies in the fact that they all have theoretical foundations that can reflect their respective historical cultures, value positions, and national will. Therefore, only by continuously consolidating the theoretical foundation that conforms to China's reality and embodies Chinese characteristics can we enhance the subjectivity of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system.
Consolidating the theoretical foundation is the only way to stimulate the innovation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The vitality of theory lies in innovation. Innovation is the eternal theme of the development of philosophy and social sciences, and it is also an inevitable requirement of social development, practical deepening, and historical progress for philosophy and social sciences." The theoretical innovation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system is the ability to excavate new materials, discover new problems, propose new viewpoints, and construct new theories based on China's national conditions. The problem awareness, core viewpoints, logical thinking, research methods, etc., contained in the theoretical foundation provide an important guarantee for stimulating the innovation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. If the theoretical foundation is solid and profound, the tree of the independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences will be lush and fruitful.
The scientific connotation of the theoretical foundation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system
To consolidate the theoretical foundation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system, we must take the Party's innovative theories as scientific guidance, the basic principles of Marxism as the ideological foundation, and the outstanding traditional Chinese culture as the cultural root, and constantly promote the innovation of the disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system, fully demonstrating the truthfulness and scientific nature, inheritance and national character, originality and timeliness of China's philosophy and social sciences.
The basic principles of Marxism lay the ideological foundation for China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Adhering to Marxism as the guide is the fundamental symbol that distinguishes contemporary Chinese philosophy and social sciences from other philosophy and social sciences, and it must be adhered to with a clear banner." Contemporary Chinese philosophy and social sciences itself began with the entry of Marxism into our country and gradually developed under the guidance of Marxism. The Marxist theoretical system and knowledge system are broad and profound, covering many disciplines such as philosophy, law, history, economics, politics, sociology, military science, and Party building science. The basic principles of Marxist philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism, as well as the positions, viewpoints, and methods that run through them, provide both the starting point for research in China's philosophy and social sciences and lay the basic academic paradigm for China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system.
The outstanding traditional Chinese culture deeply cultivates the cultural roots for China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "The resources of outstanding traditional Chinese culture are very valuable and rare resources for the development of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics." The outstanding traditional Chinese culture is the knowledge, wisdom, and rational speculation accumulated by the Chinese nation over thousands of years, and it is the cultural root for building an independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences in China. To build an independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences in China, we must continuously and deeply explore the ideological wealth of outstanding traditional Chinese culture, so as to better inherit the excellent genes of Chinese culture and the Chinese spirit, activate the strong vitality of Chinese culture and the Chinese spirit, and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of outstanding traditional Chinese culture.
The Party's innovative theories provide a source of strength for China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Use the Party's innovative theories to lead the knowledge innovation, theoretical innovation, and methodological innovation of philosophy and social sciences, and build an independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences in China with the iconic concepts and original theories of various disciplines as the main body." As the latest achievement of the Party's innovative theories, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is a brilliant example of adhering to the "two combinations" and provides a scientific worldview and methodology with the "two combinations" and "six musts" as the core content for research in China's philosophy and social sciences, and provides iconic concepts, original ideological viewpoints, and principled theoretical achievements for China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. A series of iconic concepts such as new quality productive forces, whole-process people's democracy, comprehensive rural revitalization, and a community with a shared future for mankind, and a series of original ideological viewpoints such as Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China, promoting common prosperity for all the people, and lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, provide scientific ideological guidance and rich theoretical resources for China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system.
Take multiple measures to consolidate the theoretical foundation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system
Taking the Party's innovative theories as the guide, and promoting knowledge innovation, theoretical innovation, and methodological innovation of philosophy and social sciences in China while adhering to the "two combinations," we need to focus on building a systematic and complete disciplinary system, academic system, and discourse system, and take multiple measures to consolidate the theoretical foundation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system.
Strengthen the disciplinary leadership of Marxism and strengthen the disciplinary support for China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. The disciplinary system is the basic support for the independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences. First, give full play to the leading role of Marxist disciplines such as Marxist theory, the history of the Communist Party of China and Party building science, and discipline inspection and supervision science, innovate and implement the project of Marxist theory research and construction, implement the philosophy and social sciences innovation project, and integrate the Marxist position, viewpoints, and methods into all aspects of the construction of the disciplinary system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics. Second, continuously improve the disciplinary system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, scientifically plan the disciplinary layout, and promote the coordinated advancement of the construction of basic disciplines, emerging disciplines, interdisciplinary disciplines, and unpopular disciplines. Consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the field of philosophy and social sciences in China with basic disciplines such as philosophy, history, economics, and law; promote practical and theoretical innovation with emerging disciplines such as humanistic economics and regional and national studies; promote research paradigm innovation with interdisciplinary disciplines such as digital economy, space rule of law, and smart governance; and promote civilization continuation and cultural inheritance with unpopular disciplines such as oracle bone studies, bamboo slip studies, Dunhuang studies, and ancient writing studies.
Deepen the research and interpretation of the Party's innovative theories and lead the academic innovation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. The academic system is the core content of the independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences. Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Strengthen the research and interpretation of the new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies of the Party Central Committee in governing the country, extract new theories with academic rationality, and summarize new practices with regularity. This is the focus and emphasis of building philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics." First, extract new topics from the important fields of our Party's governance of the country, such as new quality productive forces, whole-process people's democracy, common prosperity for all the people, and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation, all of which are major propositions that need to be deeply studied and interpreted. Second, excavate new materials, propose new viewpoints, and construct new theories from the vivid practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, deeply summarize the correct ideas and effective methods for solving problems, and propose original ideological concepts and viewpoints. Third, deeply study the scientific methodology of the Party's theoretical innovation, scientifically grasp practical methods such as investigation and research, and consciously apply specific methods such as "dissecting a sparrow" and "grasping typical examples" to lay a scientific foundation for the innovation of methodological paradigms for China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system.
Strengthen the extraction of iconic concepts to support the discourse innovation of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system. The discourse system is the external expression of the independent knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences. Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "We must be good at extracting iconic concepts and creating new concepts, new categories, and new expressions that are easily understood and accepted by the international community." First, accelerate the scientific extraction of iconic concepts, and further innovate secondary concepts and concept groups around new quality productive forces, comprehensive rural revitalization, new development concepts, a community with a shared future for mankind, and the common values of all mankind, so that they not only conform to the basic principles of Marxism, but also reflect the successful experience of Chinese-style modernization. Second, strengthen the research and interpretation of iconic concepts, organize special research on iconic concepts, and strengthen special academic exchanges on iconic concepts. Third, promote the dissemination and recognition of iconic concepts, promote the systematic release of iconic concepts, accelerate the construction of a discourse system that combines Chinese position, national style, and world expression, tell the story of China's philosophy and social sciences' independent knowledge system, and strive to create a new situation in the construction of Chinese-style modernization and continuously make new contributions to the progress of mankind with China's philosophy and social sciences.

Continuously optimizing government services is an inherent requirement for building a service-oriented government that satisfies the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out: "We must use modern information technology to promote the interconnection and sharing of government information, improve the level of informatization, intelligence, precision, and convenience of government services, and reduce the number of trips people have to make." The "15th Five-Year Plan" outline proposes: "Deepen the full-process application of digital and intelligent technologies, and develop ubiquitous, intelligent, convenient, fair, and inclusive digital and intelligent government services." This year's "Government Work Report" proposed: "Taking 'handling one matter efficiently' as the lead, continuously optimize government services and accelerate the construction of a digital government." Currently, digital and intelligent technologies represented by big data and artificial intelligence are developing rapidly and are quickly integrating into government services. To implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important speech and the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, we must empower "handling one matter efficiently" with digital and intelligent technologies to promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of government services and enhance administrative effectiveness.
Promoting the improvement of the quality and efficiency of government services and enhancing administrative effectiveness is of great significance for accelerating the construction of a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development. It is an inevitable requirement for optimizing the business environment and building a unified national market, and it is also a vivid embodiment of adhering to a people-centered development philosophy. Starting from the needs of enterprises and the public, taking "handling one matter efficiently" as an important starting point for optimizing government services and improving administrative effectiveness, strengthening overall design, and promoting model innovation can maximize benefits for enterprises and the public and stimulate the endogenous动力 (dònglì - "driving force," internal impetus) of economic and social development. The development and widespread application of digital and intelligent technologies provide strong support for "handling one matter efficiently," which can deeply promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of government services and further enhance the sense of gain for enterprises and the public. To empower "handling one matter efficiently" with digital and intelligent technologies, we must pay attention to both speed and quality, and we must be wary of seeking quick success and instant benefits and prevent "digital formalism." With the deep embedding of digital and intelligent technologies, "handling one matter efficiently" is not only a single, one-time technological transformation, but is becoming a digital governance practice with multi-factor collaboration, multi-subject participation, and continuous dynamic evolution. We must adhere to a systematic perspective, adhere to seeking truth from facts, and not only remove institutional and mechanism obstacles through deepening reforms to cultivate the "potential achievements" of digital and intelligent technology empowerment, but also create micro-level landing scenarios that better meet the actual needs of enterprises and the public to demonstrate the "visible achievements" of efficiency improvement, while coordinating data development and utilization with risk prevention, and improving technical efficiency with maintaining social equity.
Consolidate the digital foundation and promote the formation of a closed loop for the implementation of service scenarios. With the help of digital and intelligent technology empowerment, "handling one matter efficiently" can build a digital foundation across regions, departments, and levels, greatly reduce the cost of data collaboration, and break down "data silos"; it can also optimize and reshape business processes, provide solid support for the efficient operation of digital services, and achieve diversification of service methods, optimization of service processes, simplification of service materials, and minimization of service costs. To this end, we can rely on the national integrated government service platform to summarize the needs for government data sharing, strengthen cross-departmental policy, business, system collaboration, and data sharing; continuously improve the quality of government data and strengthen data governance from the source; starting from the perspective of enterprises and the public, clarify the leading and cooperating departments and their respective responsibilities for each "one matter," and optimize cross-departmental business processing procedures; promote the establishment of remote virtual windows in government service venues at all levels as needed to provide remote assistance services for enterprises and the public. With the dual support of data fusion and sharing and intelligent algorithms, "handling one matter efficiently" will transform institutional advantages into governance effectiveness and can form more visible, tangible, and usable social effects.
Coordinate development and security, and build a risk prevention barrier with controllable and trustworthy measures. Empowering "handling one matter efficiently" with digital and intelligent technologies must be based on a foundation of security and controllability. Any data leakage or algorithmic discrimination will erode public trust in the digital government. On the one hand, while sharing and using government data in accordance with laws and regulations, we must strengthen data control and strengthen full-process security management. We can use technologies such as data desensitization and encrypted storage to ensure compliant operation, and increase the protection of data involving commercial secrets and personal information. On the other hand, we must be vigilant and prevent governance problems caused by "algorithm black boxes" and draw clear digital red lines for "handling one matter efficiently." In addition, it is necessary to see that empowering "handling one matter efficiently" with digital and intelligent technologies should demonstrate fairness and inclusiveness. While pursuing the high efficiency and intelligence of online services, we should also take into account the digital capabilities of different groups, retain and optimize offline window services in a targeted manner, and ensure the fairness and accessibility of government services through online and offline integration.
Focus on the long term and drive service optimization and iteration with closed-loop feedback. Strengthening the digitalization of government services and empowering "handling one matter efficiently" with digital and intelligent technologies requires both construction and continuous optimization. We cannot be satisfied with the "one-time pass" of scenario acceptance, but should continuously develop in meeting the needs of enterprises and the public, so that it keeps pace with the times, is close to the people, and provides precise services. To this end, we can strengthen the overall design of government service standards, and formulate and improve standards and specifications for the construction of the national integrated government service platform and government service centers, and the operation of the 12345 hotline; promptly clean up and revise administrative regulations, rules, and administrative normative documents that are not adapted to the reform of government services, and help achieve the transformation from "solving one problem" to "optimizing a type of process."

The rapid development of the digital economy has led to the collection, analysis, and use of personal information affecting all aspects of citizens' daily work and life. Consequently, the problem of personal information leakage has become increasingly prominent. In practice, some government and enterprises, as well as platforms, have poorly managed information data, resulting in the theft, leakage, and sale of sensitive personal information, even giving rise to "professional secret stealers."
Criminals use illegally obtained personal information to precisely carry out fraud, extortion, "doxing," and other illegal and criminal activities, forming a black and gray industrial chain of crimes infringing on citizens' personal information. This seriously infringes on citizens' personal and property safety, and also seriously endangers public safety and social order.
What are the new characteristics and trends of crimes infringing on citizens' personal information? How can we cut off the source of personal information leakage? On May 8, the Supreme People's Court (最高人民法院) released five typical cases of punishing crimes infringing on citizens' personal information and related crimes in accordance with the law, severely punishing "doxing" cyber violence, stealing patient privacy, and other criminal behaviors, and building a legal defense line for a clean and clear cyberspace.
Hospital's Software Company Becomes an "Insider," Stealing More Than 2.87 Million Pieces of Personal Information
The source of personal information leakage is the beginning of the black and gray industrial chain. In one case, a hospital hired Bo Mou Software Company (博某软件公司) to develop and maintain an online registration system, but unexpectedly, the other party was a "secret stealer."
In the process of providing services, He Mou (何某), the legal representative of Bo Mou Software Company (博某软件公司), secretly collected relevant personal information of the hospital's registration users illegally obtained from the background, and arranged for company employees to import the obtained information data into the company's self-built database. After that, they installed an interface on the software developed for the hospital, which automatically imported the personal information of registered users into the company's self-built database.
In this way, more than 2.87 million pieces of personal information were illegally leaked.
The Xishan District People's Court (锡山区人民法院) of Wuxi City (无锡市), Jiangsu (江苏) Province, sentenced Bo Mou Software Company (博某软件公司) to a fine of 300,000 yuan for the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information; He Mou (何某) and others were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from five years and six months to one year and six months, and fined from 100,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan. "Internet companies should reasonably and legally process citizens' personal information within the scope of service and authorization when providing services in the medical and health field." Wei Haihuan (魏海欢), a judge of the Third Criminal Division of the Supreme People's Court (最高人民法院刑三庭), said that collecting citizens' personal information in the process of providing services, if the circumstances are serious enough to constitute a crime, should be punished in accordance with the law.
Industry "insiders" are one of the important reasons for the leakage of citizens' personal information.
Chen Mou (陈某), a passenger transport worker at a railway station, used his position to inquire about citizens' travel information on high-speed trains through the internal business system based on the citizen identity numbers and other information provided by others, and sold it to Lin Mou (林某) and others at prices ranging from 10 yuan to 60 yuan per piece for paid inquiries about the travel information of performing artists and others. In more than two years, Chen Mou (陈某) made a profit of 190,000 yuan.
"Exposing citizens' travel plans, living habits, social relationships, and other personal privacy, whether it is ordinary people or public figures, may face serious disruption of their peaceful lives, and even threaten their personal and property safety." The Nanhai District People's Court (南海区人民法院) of Foshan City (佛山市), Guangdong (广东) Province, sentenced Chen Mou (陈某) to three years and eight months in prison and fined him 190,000 yuan for the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information.
While imposing criminal penalties on the defendant, the people's court also ordered him to pay compensation, delete information, and make a public apology through an incidental civil public interest lawsuit.
Illegal Elements Provide Paid Inquiries into Citizens' Information and Targeted "Doxing," Disrupting the Order of Cyberspace
In recent years, illegal elements have illegally obtained personal information such as citizens' identity information, home addresses, social media accounts, and transportation and accommodation information in batches, publicly publishing information on the Internet to incite netizens to attack and scold specific individuals, or providing paid inquiries and targeted "doxing," causing great harm to the physical and mental health and personal safety of victims and their families, seriously infringing on citizens' legitimate rights and interests, disrupting the order of cyberspace, and fueling social resentment.
Lin Mou (林某) and Wang Mou (王某) illegally obtained hundreds of millions of pieces of citizens' personal information data through Internet channels, built a "social engineering database" website, and illegally sold it for profit. In 2025, Lin Mou (林某) also colluded with others to establish a group of more than 2,000 people using encrypted communication tools, and released illegal and criminal information such as infringing on others' privacy and insulting and scolding through "doxing."
"'Doxing' has strong targeting and a wide range of dissemination. Those who constitute a crime should be severely punished in accordance with the law." The Haidian District People's Court (海淀区人民法院) of Beijing (北京市) sentenced Lin Mou (林某) to seven years in prison and fined him 70,000 yuan for the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information and the crime of illegally using information networks; Wang Mou (王某) was sentenced to five years and six months in prison and fined 50,000 yuan for the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information.
"Professional secret stealers" even target government and enterprise data.
In one case, Huang Mou (黄某) and others used technical means such as renting mobile phone numbers to receive verification codes, forging ID card pictures and dynamic verification videos to bypass the "Xuexin.com" (学信网) real-name authentication system, illegally obtain academic qualification information, and then sell it for profit, forming a criminal chain of "renting equipment - registering accounts - false verification - downloading information - selling for profit."
After hearing the case, the Xicheng District People's Court (西城区人民法院) of Beijing (北京市) sentenced Huang Mou (黄某) and others to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three years and eight months to eight months for the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information, and imposed corresponding fines. For the incidental civil public interest lawsuit filed by the procuratorate, the court ordered Huang Mou (黄某) and others to make a public apology in national media, delete illegally held citizens' personal information, cancel the communication software used for infringement, and pay compensation for public interest damages.
Wei Haihuan (魏海欢) said: "This type of crime not only seriously infringes on the security of citizens' personal information and has a negative impact on citizens' social reputation and career development, but also the information obtained is often used to forge academic qualifications, defraud employment qualifications or special industry qualifications, which seriously damages the social credit system and the national talent management order."
More Than 290,000 Vaccine Appointment Order Information Leaked, 51 Victims Were Deceived Out of Money by Phishing Websites
The citizens' personal information obtained by "professional secret stealers" at all costs is often used for related crimes such as telecommunications network fraud and extortion, or to provide convenience for related crimes.
In practice, especially after the leakage of important information that may affect citizens' personal and property safety, such as accommodation information, communication records, health and physiological information, and transaction information, it is extremely easy to be used for telecommunications network fraud crimes.
For example, some illegal elements target the health needs of female groups, illegally obtain vaccine appointment information, and then carry out precise fraud against vaccine appointees, with extremely hidden means.
From February to July 2022, Liang Mou (梁某) and Wang Mou (王某) jointly invested in purchasing Trojan programs on the Internet black and gray industry platform, implanted them into the official website of HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine appointment injections, illegally obtained the website administrator account and password, and then obtained more than 290,000 HPV vaccine appointment order information stored on the website.
After that, the two rented a virtual host server, uploaded the illegally obtained website source code to the domain name service space, created a fake fraud phishing website, and gathered multiple people to cooperate and collaborate, sending mass vaccine appointment success text messages through the text message platform, inducing appointees to click on the phishing website link in the text message, posing as website doctors and customer service, and using rhetoric such as "price adjustment, priority appointment, and re-ordering to enjoy discounts" to defraud 51 victims of more than 580,000 yuan.
The Hanjiang District People's Court (邗江区人民法院) of Yangzhou City (扬州市), Jiangsu (江苏) Province, held that the actions of Liang Mou (梁某) and Wang Mou (王某) constituted the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information and the crime of fraud, and decided to sentence Liang Mou (梁某) and Wang Mou (王某) to fixed-term imprisonment of twelve years and eleven years and nine months respectively, and imposed corresponding fines.
Wang Lu (王鲁), Deputy Director of the Third Criminal Division of the Supreme People's Court (最高法刑三庭), said: "We strengthen the crackdown on downstream related crimes implemented using personal information, so that upstream crimes of stealing and trading personal information are unprofitable, which is conducive to fundamentally curbing the spread of the black and gray industrial chain."

In recent years, with the rapid development of information technology, illegal and criminal activities targeting personal information have occurred frequently, highlighting the problem of personal information infringement. Moreover, the methods of crime are becoming increasingly intelligent, concealed, and diversified. The types and quantity of citizens' personal information being infringed upon are also increasing.
To safeguard the security of citizens' personal information, it is first necessary to block the "exit" at the source of personal information leakage. The People's Court is targeting its efforts to severely crack down on crimes at the source of personal information leakage in accordance with the law. Among the typical cases of punishing crimes of infringing on citizens' personal information and related crimes recently released by the Supreme People's Court (最高人民法院), one case involved a railway passenger transport worker using his position to obtain citizens' high-speed rail travel information for sale and profit. "Insiders" violate professional ethics and use their position and authority to obtain and leak personal information, which is more egregious in nature and more serious in harm, and must be severely cracked down on in accordance with the law.
While preventing and eliminating personal information leakage, it is even more important to cut off the "entrance" at the end of personal information. Severely punish related illegal and criminal activities such as targeted fraud, extortion, and "doxing" committed using personal information, so that those who illegally obtain information have no profit to be made. The typical cases released by the Supreme People's Court (最高人民法院) clearly emphasize in-depth strikes against related crimes. One case involved the defendant committing fraud after illegally obtaining citizens' personal vaccine appointment information, and another involved the defendant using illegal means to obtain massive amounts of personal information to build a "social engineering database" for sale and profit, and also establishing communication groups to "dox" and publish illegal and criminal information that infringes on the privacy of others. The People's Court imposed concurrent sentences for multiple crimes in accordance with the law, fully demonstrating the clear attitude of strictly cracking down on and cutting off the black and gray industrial chain of personal information.
In addition, in judicial practice, the situation of stealing personal information through external attack methods such as technical intrusion and planting Trojans is relatively prominent. We also remind governments, enterprises, and internet platforms to implement the statutory responsibilities for personal information protection, standardize personal information processing, strengthen data management, improve data security protection capabilities, and effectively prevent personal information leakage.
The Supreme People's Court (最高人民法院) will continue to severely punish crimes of infringing on citizens' personal information and related crimes in accordance with the law, strengthen judicial protection of personal information, increase publicity of typical cases, and enhance public awareness of prevention. We will think of ways from the source, take multiple measures to grasp rectification, promote source governance and comprehensive governance, and fully safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

Only when urban governance keeps up with demand can it show warmth; only by responding to the enthusiasm can this tacit understanding and trust be safeguarded.
During this year's "May Day" holiday, in many subway stations in Wuhan (武汉), Hubei (湖北) Province, many tourists unloaded their luggage and placed their suitcases against the wall, traveling light. These "unattended luggage walls" have become a unique landscape.
Behind this "unattended luggage wall" lies both mutual trust between people and the responsibility of city managers. "About 200 pieces of luggage are stored at the station every day, and none have been lost. The luggage is placed against the wall, without blocking evacuation routes, turnstiles, or fire-fighting facilities. The scene is very heartwarming," said Li Yuan (李媛), the duty station chief of Liyuan Station (梨园站) on Wuhan (武汉) Metro Line 8.
The "unattended luggage wall" is not unmanaged. In order not to affect traffic, subway staff will organize the scattered suitcases in a unified manner. Subway staff at some stations have also enclosed exclusive storage areas for suitcases. From May 3rd to 5th, Liyuan Station (梨园站) set up a volunteer service post at the "luggage wall," and staff and volunteers helped passengers store and retrieve their luggage in an orderly manner every day.
"At stations with more concentrated luggage, we patrol the site every day, and also use video surveillance to help tourists take care of their luggage," said Wang Xuejun (王学军), a police officer from Wuhan (武汉) Rail Public Security. During patrols, on-site police and staff also remind tourists to carry valuables such as mobile phones, wallets, cameras, and computers with them, and to take photos of their luggage or write down contact information to facilitate lost and found and traceability of wrong items. The participation of the police makes tourists who leave their luggage feel more at ease.
When some tourists carry heavy luggage, on-site staff and police take the initiative to lend a hand, helping tourists move it to the subway entrance or subway car. When someone takes the wrong luggage or forgets their luggage, everyone unites to collect and register the suitcases, and use in-station broadcasts, retrieve surveillance footage, and check the signs affixed to the suitcases to ensure that the suitcases are returned to their owners. "Seeing everyone travel with peace of mind and have fun, we feel a great sense of accomplishment," said Wang Xuejun (王学军).
Not only in Wuhan (武汉), but also in subway stations in Changsha (长沙), Hunan (湖南), Foshan (佛山), Guangdong (广东), Nanjing (南京), Jiangsu (江苏), and other places, "unattended luggage walls" have also appeared, and they have gradually become a tacit understanding between tourists and the city. Because of mutual trust, and even more because of those who silently guard them. This "unattended" tacit understanding demonstrates the governance wisdom and warmth behind the "Chinese-style sense of security." When the people have needs, urban governance must keep up with those needs in order to show warmth; only by responding to the enthusiasm can this tacit understanding and trust be safeguarded.

From May 8th to 9th, the mothers and wives of nine heroes, Jiesang Sonam Dajie (杰桑·索南达杰), Chen Xiangrong (陈祥榕), Xiao Siyuan (肖思远), Wang Zhuoran (王焯冉), Zhang Liang (张良), Pang Zhe (庞哲), Li Xia (李夏), Wang Ziqiang (王自强), and Luan Liuwei (栾留伟), traveled thousands of miles to gather in Beijing (北京), carrying endless longing for their loved ones, to attend a warm tribute. They ascended the Tiananmen (天安门) Gate Tower, gazing at the Monument to the People's Heroes (人民英雄纪念碑) in the distance, their eyes lingering for a long time.
The mothers and relatives of the martyrs who defended the country, Chen Xiangrong (陈祥榕), Xiao Siyuan (肖思远), Wang Zhuoran (王焯冉), and other heroes, went to the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution (中国人民革命军事博物馆) and entered the special exhibition area "Pure Love Only for China (清澈的爱 只为中国)". In the display case, the martyrs' belongings and the "Asking Yong Road (问勇路)" road sign were quietly displayed. The mothers leaned over and stared, gently stroking their sons' names, standing for a long time, their eyes glistening with tears.
Wang Zhuoran's (王焯冉) mother said, "Zhuoran (焯冉) sacrificed himself for the country. Today, coming to Beijing (北京) and seeing so many people remembering him, I thank everyone on his behalf." Li Xia's (李夏) mother said, "My son is a Party member and a cadre. He did what he should do. As his mother, I am proud of him." Pang Zhe's (庞哲) mother held back her tears and said, "Pang Zhe (庞哲) dreamed of flying in the blue sky since he was a child. He valued the warplane more than his life. I understand him." Luan Liuwei's (栾留伟) wife, Xue Qiaoyan (薛巧艳), said with deep affection, "In every difficult moment, it is you who let me know that my husband has not been forgotten." Each simple word, each heartfelt applause, this is their most sincere confession, and also the deep echo hidden in their hearts.
"Every drop of hot blood shed by the martyrs must not be forgotten; every tear in the corner of the mother's eyes deserves to be wiped away." The relevant person in charge of the China Association for Promoting the Cause of Supporting Martyrs (中华英烈褒扬事业促进会) said that the purpose of organizing the heroes' mothers to visit and have discussions in Beijing (北京) this time is to bring more warmth into the hearts of the martyrs' families.

When drones fly over railway lines, danger may be approaching. In recent years, the number of drones in China has continued to rise, and application scenarios have continued to expand. However, some drone operators have a weak sense of safety when operating drones for flight shooting or agricultural and forestry operations along railway lines, intruding into high-speed railway line areas and illegally flying over railway lines, which seriously threatens railway operation safety.
In March 2026, the police uncovered a case of illegal drone flight. Zhu Moumou (朱某某) was operating a drone to spray pesticides on farmland along the Hangzhou-Shenzhen High-Speed Railway (杭深高铁) in Ningde City (宁德市), Fujian Province (福建省), when the drone scraped an overhead power line outside the railway fence, fell onto the railway line, and caused the D3291 train to stop for 12 minutes and 7 trains to be delayed. According to relevant laws and regulations, the public security organ imposed an administrative detention of 6 days on Zhu Moumou (朱某某).
It is worth noting that, in addition to spraying pesticides, if you operate a drone to take aerial photos of scenery, you must understand the drone management regulations and operate in a standardized manner, otherwise you may also violate the law. In January 2026, Xu Moumou (徐某某) was operating a drone to photograph scenery along the Fangchenggang-Dongxing High-Speed Railway (防东高铁) in Fangchenggang City (防城港市), Guangxi Province (广西省), when the drone touched the railway viaduct railing and fell onto the railway line, causing the D8343 train to be delayed by 15 minutes. The public security organ imposed an administrative detention of 5 days on Xu Moumou (徐某某) in accordance with the law.
Drone flights cannot be too willful. At present, China has initially built a legal system for drone management. Drone operators may bear civil, administrative, and criminal legal responsibilities for illegal and non-compliant drone flights.
Dai Rui (戴锐), Deputy Director of the Low-Altitude Safety Teaching and Research Office of the School of Public Security of the Chinese People's Public Security University (中国人民公安大学), reminded that electrified railway lines such as high-speed railways are important national public infrastructure. Article 19 of the "Interim Regulations on the Flight Management of Unmanned Aircraft" clearly stipulates that electrified railway lines and surrounding areas are controlled airspace for civil unmanned aircraft. Relevant regulations issued by Shandong (山东), Jiangsu (江苏), Guangdong (广东), Sichuan (四川) and other provinces clearly prohibit the unauthorized lifting of civil unmanned aircraft within a certain range on both sides of railway power line conductors, and illegal flights shall bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
Dai Rui (戴锐) said that those who operate drones to intrude into high-speed railway lines or fly over railway lines will be ordered by the public security organs to stop flying and may be fined less than 500 yuan; if the circumstances are serious, the unmanned aircraft that carried out the illegal flight will be confiscated, and a fine of more than 1,000 yuan and less than 10,000 yuan will be imposed. Those who violate relevant laws and regulations regarding flight airspace management and whose circumstances are serious may constitute illegal flight of civil unmanned aircraft and be subject to detention of five to ten days in accordance with the Public Security Administration Punishment Law. If the above-mentioned acts are carried out, and the high-speed railway train or railway facilities are damaged, endangering the high-speed railway train, or even causing serious consequences, it may also constitute the crime of intentionally or negligently damaging transportation vehicles or transportation facilities.

Headline Highlights
Undertaking major cultural projects to bring classical texts to life; promoting the transformation of academic achievements to turn ancient civilization memories into public cultural resources; innovating talent cultivation models to build a stage for young students, and enhancing cultural confidence and innovation vitality... In recent years, Shandong University (山东大学) has focused on promoting the tradition of "excelling in literature and history" (文史见长), promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of outstanding traditional Chinese culture, and providing strong support for cultivating new talents of the times and accelerating the construction of China's independent knowledge system.
"Look, we are wholeheartedly 'dismantling books'!" In Jinan (济南), Shandong (山东) Province, on the second floor of the Literature and History Building of the Central Campus of Shandong University (山东大学中心校区文史楼), Du Zexun (杜泽逊), a distinguished professor at Shandong University (山东大学讲席教授), joked with reporters.
Walking into the room, a strong fragrance of ink hits the face, and the bookshelves along the wall are filled with stacks of labeled papers. Students are reading at their desks, cutting the words on the paper one by one, sorting and arranging them.
"The paper is a printed copy of the surviving volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia (永乐大典), known as the 'largest ancient Chinese encyclopedia'. The students dismantle the existing volumes according to the cited bibliography, and finally compile the Yongle Encyclopedia (永乐大典) versions of the Book of Poetry (诗经), the Book of Changes (周易), the Records of the Grand Historian (史记), the Book of Han (汉书), etc. It's like dismantling a house back into bricks, tiles, and wood, which not only allows us to understand the wisdom of the ancients' 'architecture' in the process of dismantling, but also allows these 'raw materials' to be used by later generations," said Du Zexun (杜泽逊).
This scene is a microcosm of Shandong University (山东大学) serving the construction of a strong cultural country and promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of outstanding traditional Chinese culture. In recent years, Shandong University (山东大学) has focused on promoting the tradition of "excelling in literature and history" (文史见长), undertaking a number of major cultural projects such as the "Comprehensive整理研究 of the Surviving Volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia (《永乐大典》存卷综合整理研究)" and the "Global Chinese Books Integration Project (全球汉籍合璧工程)", while also deeply promoting the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents in the humanities and developing characteristic educational courses, so that more students can devote themselves to the construction of a strong cultural country.
"The wisdom buried by the years is being polished one by one"
The Yongle Encyclopedia (永乐大典) was compiled during the Yongle (永乐) period of the Ming Dynasty (明代) and contains literature from the pre-Qin (先秦) period to the early Ming Dynasty (明初). It is an encyclopedia that integrates ancient Chinese classics. The complete book originally had more than 20,000 volumes, but now only more than 800 volumes and 400 copies survive. These surviving volumes still retain a large number of lost classics and are a treasure trove waiting to be explored.
Five years ago, the "Comprehensive整理研究 of the Surviving Volumes of the Yongle Encyclopedia (《永乐大典》存卷综合整理研究)" project, led by Shandong University (山东大学), was officially launched, with more than 200 experts from more than 70 universities in China participating. In less than three years, the work of adding notes and punctuation to all surviving volumes has been completed and entered the publishing process. The reading problem caused by the original text being in traditional Chinese characters and without punctuation, making it "unreadable," has been solved.
Currently, Du Zexun (杜泽逊) and his students are promoting the "recompilation of books by 分书". They first dismantle the classics cited by the Yongle Encyclopedia (永乐大典) to allow them to "return to their original books," and then sort the entries of each book to "restore their original appearance." Among the thousands of classics that have been dismantled and recompiled, many no longer exist or are different from the existing versions.
"The project is expected to take another three or four years to complete. We want to make the Yongle Encyclopedia (永乐大典) easier for the public to use: academic research can cite it, exquisite pictures can be retrieved, and cultural communication can be used as a reference. The wisdom buried by the years is being polished one by one." In Du Zexun's (杜泽逊) view, doing a good job in the digitization of classical texts not only requires compiling large-scale classical literature databases, but also using a variety of interactive methods to bring classical texts to life, "thereby enhancing the public's cultural awareness and cultural confidence, and stimulating the innovation and creativity of contemporary people."
At the same time, in another office of the Advanced Institute of Confucian Studies of Shandong University (山东大学儒学高等研究院), members of the "Global Chinese Books Integration Project (全球汉籍合璧工程)" team are busy "registering" ancient books. This year is the ninth year since the project was launched, and the team members have a common dream: to bring the ancient books "drifting" overseas "home."
To carry out the "Global Chinese Books Integration Project (全球汉籍合璧工程)", researchers need to find out the situation of Chinese ancient documents around the world and improve the storage system of Chinese ancient documents. Doing this project well is as difficult and complex as finding a "pearl" in the sea.
Since the project was launched in April 2017, Shandong University (山东大学), as the responsible entity, has united with more than 110 universities and research institutions in China, and its research footprints have spread across more than 100 countries and regions and more than 2,000 library institutions. It has newly compiled and revised 199,000 catalogs and copied and returned 1,073 kinds of rare documents that were missing.
"Many Chinese ancient documents and classics lost overseas are in urgent need of rescue and return. We are using the 合璧工程 database system to let them 'go home' in a digital way." Liu Xinming (刘心明), chief expert of the "Global Chinese Books Integration Project (全球汉籍合璧工程)" and professor at Shandong University (山东大学教授), said that the team has built a 合璧工程 database system that can be displayed in the foreground and worked in the background by introducing artificial intelligence technology, so that Chinese book images can be intelligently analyzed and visually displayed. Currently, it includes more than 370,000 full-text images of Chinese books. The database also provides staff with a standardized and intelligent one-stop service platform integrating cataloging, reviewing, and verifying, helping to build and share resources and open up achievements for public benefit.
"The knowledge in the study should be applied to social reality"
Innovation is rooted in deep cultural soil.
On one side, staff are engaged in field archaeology, tense and busy; on the other side, teachers are teaching students the basic professional theories and methods of archaeology... At the Qianzhongzitou Site (前冢子头遗址) in Gaomi (高密), Shandong (山东), the Shandong University (山东大学) archaeological team is busy.
In 2023, the Shandong University Gaomi Archaeological Internship Base (山东大学高密考古实习基地) was established here. The following year, the site was selected as one of the top five new archaeological discoveries in Shandong Province (山东省五大考古新发现) in 2023. Not long ago, the team confirmed for the first time that hemp crops had become one of the "five grains" during the Longshan Culture (龙山文化) period more than 4,000 years ago, providing key information for the diversity and complexity of the prehistoric northern agricultural system.
From the Qingqiu 堌堆 Site (菏泽青邱堌堆遗址) in Heze (菏泽), Shandong (山东), and the Daxinzhuang Site (济南大辛庄遗址) in Jinan (济南) to the Sanxingdui Site (四川三星堆遗址) in Sichuan (四川) and the Wuwangdun Tomb Site (安徽武王墩墓遗址) in Anhui (安徽), Shandong University (山东大学) teachers and students are present at many archaeological sites across the country.
Shandong University (山东大学) has always been committed to promoting the transformation of academic achievements, turning civilization memories into public cultural resources, and allowing traditional culture to gain new vitality in the resonance with contemporary life and social needs. At the Qianzhongzitou Site (前冢子头遗址), childish faces often appear. Here, children who come to study can harvest wheat by hand with clam sickles, experience the process of flotation of carbonized seeds, listen to archaeologists explain the use of hand shovels, hoes, and Luoyang shovels, appreciate the rigor and fun of archaeological work, and feel the unique charm of their hometown culture.
Innovation also stems from the needs of the times.
"Create characteristic cultural IPs (intellectual property) to realize the transformation from selling landscapes to selling life" "Build a good ecology integrating planting, interaction, catering, and accommodation"... Not long ago, the "Sanling Xiaoyuan (三零小院)" rural practice team of Shandong University (山东大学) came to Lvxian Village (吕仙村) and Anjiazhuang Village (安家庄村) in Tai'an City (泰安市), Shandong (山东) to conduct research and put forward new ideas for developing tourism according to local conditions.
"Sanling Xiaoyuan (三零小院)" refers to "zero-distance connection, zero-time difference guidance, and zero-fee service." The team members of Shandong University (山东大学) walked into the villages with their bags, sat down to listen to the villagers' confusion, helped the villages find development paths from a professional perspective, promoted the high-quality development of rural tourism, and helped small mountain villages achieve gorgeous "transformation."
"In the past, the income of villagers in Yangsanyu Village (洋三峪村) mainly depended on forestry and fruit industry. Now, Yangsanyu Village (洋三峪村) is focusing on cultural tourism and has also been named the most beautiful village in China, the most beautiful village in Shandong (好客山东最美村镇), and a model village for rural tourism in China." Tian Yueshui (田月水), secretary of the Party Branch and director of the Village Committee of Yangsanyu Village (洋三峪村), Yiyuan County (沂源县), Zibo City (淄博市), Shandong Province (山东省), said that with the help of the rural practice team, this small village in the mountains held the first "Shandong Fuyang Culture Festival (山东省伏羊文化节)", creating the Yangsanyu (洋三峪) cultural tourism brand.
Over the past 10 years, the teachers and students of "Sanling Xiaoyuan (三零小院)" have helped more than 20 villages to be renovated and upgraded. "The knowledge in the study should be applied to social reality. It is the unremitting pursuit of our tourism researchers to drive up the pockets of the people and make them smile more." said Wang Degang (王德刚), professor at the School of Management of Shandong University (山东大学管理学院教授).
"Let more young students devote themselves to the construction of a strong cultural country"
Starting from the Longshan Campus (Innovation Port) (山东大学龙山校区（创新港）) of Shandong University (山东大学) and driving about 20 kilometers in the northwest direction, you will reach the Jiaojia Site (焦家遗址). This is one of the earliest city sites in the Haidai area (海岱地区) and hides important clues to the origin of Chinese civilization. The excavation of this site is being undertaken by Shandong University (山东大学). Since 2016, Shandong University (山东大学) has sent a group of "archaeological novices" here every year for field internships.
"Sometimes you can't see the way by looking at the soil. You have to keep scraping to feel the difference in the building structure." Wu Hao (武昊), a young teacher at the School of Archaeology of Shandong University (山东大学考古学院青年教师), lives in Jiaojia Village (焦家村), Zhangqiu District (章丘区), Jinan City (济南市) all year round. Now, he can judge the original outline of the tomb based on the difference in the sound when the blade touches the soil, such as the crisp "沙沙" sound and the dull "闷闷" sound. This unique skill of "dialoguing with the earth" is a gift from the field classroom. The former "archaeological novices" have gradually grown into professional archaeological talents.
Such educational achievements are not an isolated case. In recent years, Shandong University (山东大学) has deeply promoted the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents in the humanities, developed characteristic educational courses such as "Archaeological Photography Course", organized the compilation of "General Theory of Chinese Archaeology Series Textbooks", and actively undertaken the "National College Student New Liberal Arts Practice Innovation Competition (全国大学生新文科实践创新大赛)", "China Graduate Student 'Cultural China' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (中国研究生‘文化中国’两创大赛)", "I Use AI to Proofread Ancient Books (我用AI校古籍)" and other competitions... While deeply connecting with major national cultural projects, the school serves the cultivation of new high-quality archaeological professionals and classical academic talents. "Innovate the talent cultivation model, build a stage for growth, and let more young students devote themselves to the construction of a strong cultural country." said Li Zhongjun (李忠军), Secretary of the Party Committee of Shandong University (山东大学党委书记).
"Shandong University (山东大学) will consolidate and develop the advantages of 'excelling in literature and history' (文史见长), actively practice the 'two combinations', vigorously promote the 'two creations' of outstanding traditional Chinese culture, cultivate new talents of the times, and provide support for accelerating the construction of China's independent knowledge system." said Li Zhongjun (李忠军).

As a world cultural heritage site, Gulangyu (鼓浪屿) in Xiamen (厦门), Fujian (福建) not only preserves over a thousand buildings blending Chinese and Western styles, but also inherits a profound cultural heritage of music and poetry. Stepping into the newly opened Gulangyu China Film Music Museum (鼓浪屿·中国电影音乐馆), numerous classic film scores resonate in your ears; entering the Gulangyu Art Space of the National Art Museum of China (中国美术馆鼓浪屿艺术空间), Picasso's original works captivate the audience; at Piano Wharf (钢琴码头), Bagua Building (八卦楼), and other locations, tourists take photos with the Gulangyu Poetry Festival (鼓浪屿诗会) check-in installations. For some time, Gulangyu has been continuously enriching its product offerings and improving service quality, bringing tourists a brand-new cultural tourism experience that is visible, audible, and tangible.
Founded in 2006, the Gulangyu Poetry Festival (鼓浪屿诗会) has evolved into an influential cultural brand. The 12th Gulangyu Poetry Festival (鼓浪屿诗会) was held as scheduled recently. With the theme of "World Heritage Living, Poetic Piano Island," this year's poetry festival integrated more than 10 distinctive activities such as poetry salons, poetry concerts, and poetry recitals, allowing poetry to enter the world heritage streets and alleys, and inviting poetry lovers to a poetic rendezvous of mountains and seas. The integration of poetry and music, and the harmonious resonance of piano and poetry, are among the most charming highlights of this year's Gulangyu Poetry Festival (鼓浪屿诗会).
In the gentle evening breeze, at the "Whispers of the East Wind, Songs of Grain Rain" concert, Liao Changyong (廖昌永), President of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music (上海音乐学院), joined hands with the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Children's Choir (上海音乐学院少年合唱团) to perform classic pieces such as "Fisherman's Song," "Grain Rain," and "How Can I Not Think of Her," unfolding a vivid and poetic picture for the audience. The "Moonlight Serenade" courtyard concert was held under the moonlight in Bagua Building Square (八卦楼广场). At the end of the concert, the entire audience sang "Farewell," filling Piano Island (琴岛) with nostalgia and poetic sentiment.
"The concert was wonderful," exclaimed tourist Ms. Wang (王女士), who was deeply moved by Liao Changyong's (廖昌永) performance of "Jiang Chengzi." "The artist's understanding of this poem is very accurate, and it can only be so touching when sung. This form of interpretation has also given me a deeper understanding of the emotions contained in the poem."
During the poetry festival, the "Poetry on the Island" poetry salon was held for three consecutive days in Bagua Building (八卦楼), where several Chinese and foreign poets and scholars engaged in dialogue on topics such as the opportunities and challenges of Chinese poetry in the new era and new context, and how to rebuild in-depth reading. The "Encounter with Love" poetry scenario recitation interactive activity was held on the island at irregular intervals, allowing citizens and tourists to meet poetry in the streets and courtyards at any time. "People in a hurry have no seasons, only one stop and the next..." Accompanied by the "delivery poet" Wang Jibing's (王计兵) recitation of "People in a Hurry," a unique poetry reading session of "Humanistic Poetry and Painting" was held. Seven poets from different industries gathered together to share their poems, becoming a simple and bright spot on Gulangyu (鼓浪屿).
The poetic charm of Gulangyu (鼓浪屿), accompanied by the warm and humid sea breeze, "blew" into Xiamen University (厦门大学). At the "Youth Reading Poetry" event held at Xiamen University (厦门大学), eight poets gathered with teachers and students of Xiamen University (厦门大学) to engage in a poetic dialogue that was close to youth and rooted in life.
"A teacher mentioned that the river of poetry is much longer and wider than the natural river. This sentence touched me deeply and strengthened my confidence to continue writing poetry," said Ye Yan (叶言), a poetry enthusiast and student at Xiamen University (厦门大学).
Romantic poetry promotes the integration of culture and tourism. During the "May Day" holiday, Gulangyu (鼓浪屿) received more than 200,000 visitors. Relying on new exhibition halls and cultural resources, Gulangyu (鼓浪屿) launched various cultural and creative products, and introduced diverse business formats in the art space.
A close friend afar brings a distant land near. German sinologist and poet Gu Bin (顾彬) said that poetry is the language of the world, "With the help of platforms such as the Gulangyu Poetry Festival (鼓浪屿诗会), Chinese poetry can be familiar to readers in more countries, and Chinese and Western cultures will achieve deeper exchanges and integration in the resonance of poetry."
Return to TopThis newspaper Chengdu (成都) May 10th (Reporter Song Haoxin (宋豪新)) A paper co-published by the Archaeological and Museological College of Sichuan University (四川大学) and the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archeology Research Institute (四川省文物考古研究院) in the international academic journal *Journal of Asian Archeology* reveals that a meteorite iron object was discovered in the No. 7 sacrificial pit at Sanxingdui (三星堆).
According to Li Haichao (黎海超), leader of the archaeological excavation team of the No. 7 sacrificial pit at Sanxingdui (三星堆) and professor at the Archaeological and Museological College of Sichuan University (四川大学), in 2021, when archaeological team members were conducting archaeological excavations at the No. 7 sacrificial pit at Sanxingdui (三星堆), they discovered a long, strip-shaped tool or weapon standing vertically at the bottom of the pit on the south side of the east wall. The object was approximately 20.05 centimeters long and 5.27 to 7.90 centimeters wide, appearing to be a long, strip-shaped axe-like object, but it was severely corroded, and its shape was difficult to distinguish. Considering the poor preservation of the object, the excavation team cut the object along with the surrounding soil as a whole and transported it to the laboratory for subsequent protection and research.
After laboratory analysis, the research team confirmed that this "mysterious object" is a meteorite iron product, the earliest meteorite iron artifact discovered in southwestern China to date, and also the largest known similar artifact from the Chinese Bronze Age. "The application of ironware marks a major change in human productivity. This is the first time that meteorite ironware has been discovered at Sanxingdui (三星堆). Although it is not an artificially smelted iron product, it also reflects the understanding and utilization of iron as a substance by the ancestors in southwestern China," said Li Haichao (黎海超). Unlike the bronze-meteorite iron composite objects common in the Central Plains, the newly discovered meteorite iron object at Sanxingdui (三星堆) is a pure meteorite iron product, reflecting a unique metallurgical tradition. Due to the poor preservation of the object, its function is difficult to determine. However, meteorite ironware has high hardness, and whether it is related to the post-casting cutting and processing phenomena on Sanxingdui (三星堆) bronzes is worth further study.

In May, with the warm breeze, the Geyuan Temple (阁院寺) in Laiyuan County (涞源县), deep in the Taihang Mountains (太行山) in Hebei Province (河北省), welcomes batches of tourists. After 17 years of renovation, the ancient temple has resumed normal opening hours. Many ancient architecture enthusiasts and cultural tourism explorers have made a special trip to this place to witness the elegance of the millennium-old temple.
"The main building of Geyuan Temple (阁院寺), the Manjusri Hall (文殊殿), was first built in the sixteenth year of the Yingli reign of the Liao Dynasty, that is, 966 AD, which is 1060 years ago. It is the earliest of the 'Eight Great Liao Structures' in China," said Wang Shuguo (王树国), director of the Cultural Relics Management Office of the Laiyuan County (涞源县) Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau. In 1996, Geyuan Temple (阁院寺) was listed by the State Council (国务院) as the fourth batch of national key cultural relics protection units, becoming an important carrier of ancient Chinese architectural art and historical and cultural heritage.
Stepping into Geyuan Temple (阁院寺), an ancient and simple atmosphere rushes towards you. In the courtyard, the ancient pines are tall and verdant, with luxuriant branches and leaves; the ancient buildings are scattered in a well-proportioned manner, elegant and grand. The temple also treasures a large Liao Dynasty bell with a clear chronology. The bell has mottled patterns and a vicissitudes of sound. When tapped lightly, the bell rings far away.
The entire temple faces south and is laid out in a regular and rigorous manner. From south to north, there are main buildings such as the Manjusri Hall (文殊殿) and the Sutra Collection Building. Among them, the Manjusri Hall (文殊殿) is a precious original Liao Dynasty structure, and the remaining buildings were rebuilt or rebuilt during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Manjusri Hall (文殊殿) has three bays wide and three bays deep. The Dougong (斗拱) of the hall are large and prominent, and the eaves are deep, retaining the grand and majestic architectural features.
"The painted Dougong (斗拱) in the hall are gorgeous, mainly in blue, green, and red, supplemented by a small amount of gold. The patterns are smooth and natural, and the composition is ingenious and reasonable. Moreover, most of the paintings have not been repainted, which is very rare in Liao Dynasty architecture," said Wang Shuguo (王树国).
Geyuan Temple (阁院寺) was open to the public from 1996 to 2009. Since then, it has been closed for renovation and protection and has been closed until now. The long closing time is to better protect this thousand-year-old cultural treasure.
Wen Yongli (温勇立), director of the Laiyuan County (涞源县) Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau, said that since 2010, the local area has continued to promote the protection and renovation of the temple. It has successively completed the protection and reinforcement of the murals in the Manjusri Hall (文殊殿), built a complete security and fire protection system, renovated the other buildings in the temple except for the Manjusri Hall (文殊殿) in two phases, and also built a new stele gallery and the Geyuan Temple History and Folk Museum (阁院寺历史民俗博物馆), comprehensively building a cultural relic protection barrier.
In order to achieve a win-win situation for the protection and utilization of ancient buildings, the Laiyuan County (涞源县) cultural and tourism department is steadily promoting the preparation for opening. The local area has comprehensively renovated the internal environment of the temple, compiled the "Laiyuan County Geyuan Temple (涞源县阁院寺) Tourist Carrying Capacity Assessment and Opening Feasibility Assessment Report", and carried out test free opening, laying a solid foundation for normal opening.
"I hope more people will get closer to Liao Dynasty architecture, understand the construction wisdom contained in the millennium-old buildings, and feel the broad and profoundness of outstanding Chinese traditional culture. Let this millennium-old Liao structure hidden deep in the Taihang Mountains (太行山) continue to bloom with ancient charm, and show the world the immortal charm of ancient Chinese architecture and the endless inheritance of culture." said Wen Yongli (温勇立).

The 2026 Australian Smart Energy Conference and Exhibition was recently held at the Sydney International Convention Centre (悉尼国际会议中心). With the current situation in the Middle East causing dramatic fluctuations in global energy prices, how to promote energy transition and reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels has become a common concern for visitors to the exhibition. The exhibition attracted more than 12,000 representatives of companies, investors, government officials, and researchers in the renewable energy sector from around the world. More than 130 exhibitors showcased the latest achievements in solar energy, energy storage, electrification, and smart energy solutions. Among them, the number of participating companies from China accounted for more than 60%. From advanced solar modules to innovative energy storage solutions, from cutting-edge technology discussions to reaching cooperation intentions, Chinese and Australian companies are expanding cooperation in the new energy field to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and help Australia's energy transition and green development.
Chinese Manufacturing Showcases "Hard-Core Technology + Design Aesthetics"
Rooftop solar module products with higher output power, and colored photovoltaic glass that is both beautiful and can generate electricity... At the exhibition, photovoltaic products "tailor-made" by Chinese companies for the Australian market were welcomed by many visitors.
At the booth of Jinko Solar (晶科能源), staff were showing visitors the flagship product Tiger Neo 3 module. The product is specially designed for Australia's unique climate conditions of high irradiance and high-temperature difference. By optimizing the temperature coefficient and weak light response technology, it ensures high output power and extends effective power generation time in extreme high-temperature environments in summer, adapting to Australia's diverse lighting conditions. "Chinese companies are resonating with Australia's energy policies with their technological advantages, maximizing the economic and environmental benefits for local users," Chen Dewei (陈德伟), Overseas Sales Director of Jinko Solar, told reporters.
Australia has abundant solar energy resources, and promoting photovoltaic power generation has unique advantages. Currently, more than 4.3 million households and businesses in the country have installed rooftop photovoltaics, and the per capita photovoltaic power generation ranks first in the world. Against the background of high energy prices, the local demand for photovoltaic power generation equipment continues to increase.
How to achieve higher output power of solar modules under the condition of meeting the rooftop restrictions of Australian residential and commercial standards has become a concern for many merchants at the exhibition. A Vertex S+ series solar module product developed by Trina Solar (天合光能) of China attracted a lot of attention. Zhou Zhichao (周之超), General Manager of Trina Solar in the Oceania region, said that this product is expected to be launched in Australia in the third quarter of this year. It has a higher power density and can achieve the target system capacity with fewer modules, which not only helps reduce costs but also has design flexibility.
The head of AC Solar Warehouse, an Australian local photovoltaic distributor, marveled at the colored building material photovoltaic glass launched by LONGi Green Energy (隆基绿能) of China, "From the market feedback, the competitiveness of solar module products not only requires hard-core technology, but also design aesthetics are very important. Chinese products not only have leading performance but also take into account the beauty of the building's appearance, enriching the market's choices and being loved by more and more local users."
In recent years, Australia has accelerated its energy transition. In September last year, the Australian government announced a net-zero emissions plan, with the goal of achieving a 62% to 70% reduction in carbon emissions by 2035 based on 2005 levels. Currently, facing the impact of the Middle East situation on the global energy supply chain, Australia is accelerating the adjustment of its energy security strategy and vigorously deploying renewable energy. Chris Bowen (克里斯·鲍恩), Australian Minister for Climate Change and Energy, introduced that the government and the private sector will continue to promote the diversified layout of energy supply, increase the proportion of renewable energy use, reduce dependence on the global oil market, and resist future energy supply shocks, "This will help improve energy autonomy and supply stability in the medium term."
Intelligent Energy Storage Equipment Adapts to Market Demand
Thanks to various support policies launched by the Australian Federal and State Governments, the Australian household energy market has achieved rapid growth in recent years, driving the continuous release of energy storage demand. Intelligent energy storage equipment is becoming a new consumption trend, which brings more market opportunities for many Chinese new energy companies.
The booth of Sicon New Energy (思格新能源) of China is full of technology, attracting many installers and users to stop and consult. The industry's first five-in-one photovoltaic storage and charging integrated machine modularly stacks photovoltaic inverters, energy storage converters, battery systems, intelligent gateways, and energy management, greatly simplifying the installation process and saving space. At the same time, it deeply integrates artificial intelligence into the entire scene of products, software, energy scheduling, and user interaction, making energy management more intelligent and the user experience better. "Through demonstrations, we let local customers understand the latest achievements made by Chinese companies in the development of artificial intelligence + photovoltaic storage integration," said Yang Shunxia (杨顺霞), Global Brand Director of the company.
Currently, virtual power plant (VPP) technology is booming. This technology does not require factory buildings or generator sets. It can aggregate distributed household photovoltaics, energy storage batteries, charging piles, etc. through digital platforms and communication networks to cut peaks and fill valleys and participate in electricity market transactions. Australian virtual power plant technology provider Connect VPP released the latest distributed energy aggregation and cross-border coordination plan at the exhibition. "We provide customized operating systems for local installers and energy service providers, which are highly adaptable and allow users' power generation to be easily connected to the grid," the company负责人 (fù zé rén - "person in charge") introduced.
In front of the booth of Australian distributor Blue Sun Group, Angus, a citizen from New South Wales (新南威尔士州), was carefully reading a brochure of a Chinese energy storage product company. He plans to replace his house with a new energy storage device. "Currently, global energy prices are rising, and as consumers, our feelings are very direct. By upgrading the energy storage equipment at home, we can save a lot of expenses. I have been paying attention to several Chinese energy storage products, which are not only superior in performance but also fully consider the convenience of installation and use, and are very intelligent, helping us improve electricity efficiency and save electricity costs. Chinese products have leading technology, innovative designs, and always have highlights that impress consumers," Angus told reporters.
China-Australia Green Cooperation Helps Energy Transition
During the exhibition, the Australia-China Smart Energy Cooperation Forum was also held. Representatives from China and Australia's energy, manufacturing, and trade investment fields exchanged views on topics such as green energy transition. Participants generally believed that Chinese new energy companies have huge advantages in technological innovation, manufacturing capabilities, and supply chain efficiency, and can provide new products and solutions for Australia's energy transition. The two countries have broad prospects for cooperation in the field of clean energy and green industries. Further deepening cooperation between the two sides will usher in more opportunities and inject more impetus into regional green and low-carbon development.
Tim Buckley (蒂姆·巴克利), founder of the Australian "Climate Energy Finance" think tank, believes that Australia should create a more stable and open environment for Chinese companies to invest and cooperate in Australia, "With the help of Chinese equipment and manufacturing capabilities, it will help us accelerate the implementation of green industry projects and promote the low-carbon transition process."
Oliver Hartley (奥利弗·哈特利), an Australian solar industry research expert, said that China has made amazing development achievements in the field of green energy. Australia can learn from China's experience and apply it to energy transition actions, and jointly enhance global competitiveness through cooperation between the two sides. Anthony Coles (安东尼·科尔斯), CEO of Australian Cetacea Circular, said that China is promoting a broader decarbonization process, "This is an innovative practice that represents the future growth model, and we should think about how to cooperate deeply with China to jointly explore the next economic growth point."
John Grimes (约翰·格兰姆斯), CEO of the Australian Smart Energy Council (澳大利亚智慧能源理事会), the organizer of the exhibition, said that Australia and China have a solid and long-term foundation for cooperation in the new energy field, "We look forward to more Chinese partners joining this process to promote the implementation of more clean energy projects and accelerate Australia's energy transition."

As the signing location of the "Cairo Declaration," the Mena House Hotel (米娜宫饭店) near the pyramids southwest of Cairo (开罗), the capital of Egypt (埃及), is a popular destination for international tourists. Recently, China (中国) erected a monument at the Mena House Hotel (米娜宫饭店), using stone as evidence and text as inscription, allowing the just voice of the "Cairo Declaration" to transcend history and resonate perpetually on the banks of the Nile (尼罗河).
The Mena House Hotel (米娜宫饭店) was originally built over a century ago and has undergone years of vicissitudes and multiple renovations, becoming a building that combines classical elegance with modern grandeur. From November 22 to 26, 1943, at a crucial moment in the World Anti-Fascist War, the heads of state of China (中国), the United States (美国), and the United Kingdom (英国) gathered here to hold the Cairo Conference and sign the "Cairo Declaration," which was officially published on December 1 of the same year. The Mena House Hotel (米娜宫饭店) has thus become an important landmark for engraving justice and remembering history.
Today, in the courtyard of the Mena House Hotel (米娜宫饭店), the newly erected Chinese monument stands quietly. This monument, named "Cornerstone of Peace," is modeled after the pillars and foundation stones in ancient Chinese architecture. The monument is divided into sections, with a granite foundation stone at the bottom and a bronze hexagonal column at the top. The total height of the foundation stone and the column is 2 meters. The front and back of the bronze hexagonal column are engraved with the words "Cairo Declaration Monument" in Chinese and English, with thinly sliced jade as the backing for the text, and the remaining sides are evenly engraved with traditional triangular patterns. When sunlight shines down, the solemn words take on warmth amidst the dappled light and shadows.
The lower foundation stone is engraved with the historical significance of the "Cairo Declaration" and the national flags of China (中国) and Egypt (埃及). The phrase in the inscription, "The return of Taiwan (台湾) to China (中国) is an important part of the victory of World War II and the post-war international order," is not only a deep remembrance of that period of war more than 80 years ago, but also a firm defense of world peace and justice, and a stern warning against any attempt to distort or deny history.
The establishment of the "Cornerstone of Peace" monument is both a solemn commemoration of history and a reminder to the world that the post-war international order cannot be challenged. The "Cairo Declaration" is a major achievement of the World Anti-Fascist War and an important historical and legal basis for confirming Taiwan (台湾) as an inalienable territory of China (中国), providing an important legal guarantee for building the post-war international order in the Asia-Pacific region. The "Cairo Declaration" and a series of legally binding documents that subsequently reaffirmed its provisions, such as the "Potsdam Proclamation," constitute an important part of the post-World War II international order. These documents are the human dignity re-established after millions of lives were swallowed and countless civilizations were trampled upon, and the solemn covenant made by all mankind for its own survival and future vision. They are not only the bottom line of human conscience, but also the red line of the international order, which cannot be crossed.
The wind passes over the Nile (尼罗河), and the stone speaks of vicissitudes. The "Cairo Declaration" carries the right path of the world and lays the foundation for the post-war structure, which has been recognized by the international community. The Mena House Hotel (米娜宫饭店) and the newly completed "Cornerstone of Peace" monument, facing the pyramids across the street, are like guardians of justice, solemnly declaring to the world: the flames of war are far away, the legal principles will last forever, and the truth of history cannot be tampered with.
Return to TopFrance Formally Promulgates Law to Simplify Procedures for Returning Illegally Obtained Cultural Relics
According to a press release issued by the French government on May 10th, Xinhua News Agency, Paris, May 10th (Reporter Zhang Baihui (张百慧)), French President Emmanuel Macron (马克龙) promulgated a law on May 9th to simplify procedures for returning illegally obtained cultural relics. The relevant bill was reviewed and passed by the French Parliament on May 7th.
The law aims to simplify France's procedures for returning cultural relics illegally obtained from other countries during the colonial period. According to French media reports, foreign countries, especially former French colonies in Africa, have long called on France to return their looted cultural relics. However, previous French law stipulated that cultural relics "incorporated into the public domain" are "in principle non-transferable." Therefore, relevant requests for restitution required case-by-case legislative treatment, which was a complicated procedure. The newly promulgated law allows the French government to decide to remove a cultural relic from the "public domain" through administrative procedures, without the need to promulgate special laws for each case.
However, the law sets a series of restrictions on the criteria for identifying returnable cultural relics and the return process. In terms of scope of application, the bill covers cultural property from any geographical origin, but it must be foreign cultural relics illegally obtained by France between November 20, 1815, and April 23, 1972. In terms of process, all return applications must be reviewed by a bilateral scientific committee established through consultations between France and the requesting country, and the opinions of the National Cultural Property Restitution Committee must be sought. In addition, the French government should also submit an annual report to Parliament introducing the foreign restitution requests it has received and the progress of their handling.
In 2017, Emmanuel Macron (马克龙) promised during a visit to Burkina Faso that he would promote the process of returning cultural property to African countries. In July 2025, the French government launched a fast-track legislative procedure for the relevant draft law.
South Africa Designates Extreme Weather Events in Multiple Locations as a "National Disaster"
Xinhua News Agency, Cape Town, May 10th (Reporters Wang Xiaomei (王晓梅) and Wang Lei (王雷)) The South African Ministry of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs issued a government gazette on the evening of May 9th, designating the extreme weather events recently encountered in multiple provinces of the country as a "national disaster."
Elias Sithole (埃利亚斯·西索莱), Director of the National Disaster Management Centre under the South African Ministry of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, said in the gazette that the Western Cape Province, North West Province, Free State Province, Eastern Cape Province, Northern Cape Province, and Mpumalanga Province have experienced extreme weather since the 4th, including heavy rainfall, floods, thunderstorms, destructive strong winds, and snowfall, resulting in casualties, property damage, damage to infrastructure and the environment, and disruption of basic services. The National Disaster Management Centre has designated this disaster as a national disaster.
The gazette stated that after it is designated as a national disaster, the national administrative departments will assume the primary responsibility for coordinating the response to the disaster. Sithole (西索莱) called on government departments at all levels to further strengthen support for disaster management agencies, implement emergency arrangements, and take measures to ensure that the disaster can be effectively responded to.
The local government of the Garden Route (花园大道), a famous tourist area in South Africa, issued a statement on the 9th saying that the extreme weather has triggered the most severe floods in the area in nearly 30 years, with severe damage to infrastructure, at least 45 roads closed, and widespread power outages. Residents of multiple communities have been trapped due to floods and road damage, and at least one person has died.
Evacuation and Transfer of Personnel from Cruise Ship Involved in Hantavirus Outbreak Begins
People's Daily, Madrid, May 10th (Reporters Yan Huan (颜欢) and Xu Hailin (许海林)) Spanish authorities began on the 10th to evacuate and transfer all passengers and some crew members from the cruise ship "Hondius" involved in the Hantavirus outbreak. The operation is expected to continue until the 11th.
At dawn on the 10th, the "Hondius" sailed into the waters of Granadilla Port (格拉纳迪利亚港) on the Spanish island of Tenerife (特内里费岛) and anchored. Spanish health officials then boarded the ship to conduct epidemiological investigations and health assessments. In the morning, passengers began to disembark and were transferred ashore in batches.
Spanish Minister of Health Mónica García (莫妮卡·加西亚) introduced at a press conference held at the scene that passengers were transported ashore in batches by small boats, and then transferred to the airport by buses under strict health, epidemic prevention, and security measures before leaving according to subsequent arrangements. The cruise ship is not expected to dock at the pier during the entire transfer. Before the transfer began, all personnel on board showed no symptoms.
García (加西亚) said that Spanish passengers will be transferred and evacuated first, and the Netherlands will then transfer its own citizens and passengers from Germany, Belgium, and Greece, as well as some crew members. The remaining personnel will leave successively according to flight arrangements. The last evacuation flight is expected to take off on the 11th to transfer Australian citizens. The Netherlands also plans to send a "cleanup" flight on the 11th to transfer personnel who have not yet been arranged to be picked up by their respective countries.
Return to TopXinhua News Agency, London, May 9th (Reporter Gao Wencheng (高文成)) - Brand Finance, a British brand valuation consultancy, released the "China 500 2026" report on the 9th, showing that the total value of China's top 500 brands in 2026 exceeded 2.1 trillion US dollars, an increase of 7.6% compared to the previous year. The scale and quality of Chinese brands have improved simultaneously, becoming an important window for observing China's economic potential.
The report shows that Douyin (抖音) retained the top spot on the list of China's most valuable brands with a value of 153.54 billion US dollars, continuing to surpass traditional European and American giants in the global social and digital commerce field; State Grid (国家电网) remained firmly in second place, relying on UHV technology and green transformation practices to become a global energy brand benchmark; ICBC (工行), CCB (建行), BOC (中行), and ABC (农行), the four major state-owned commercial banks, followed closely behind.
The report believes that innovation is the core engine for the continuous rise in the value of Chinese brands. Chinese Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved from model building to the stage of large-scale implementation, and AI technology has deeply penetrated the entire industrial chain including media, electronics, automobiles, and finance. Chinese brands increase their own value through technology premium, brand premium, and service premium, which is in line with the direction of high-quality economic development.
David Haigh (戴维·黑格), Chairman of Brand Finance and Chairman of the ISO Technical Committee on Brand Valuation, told Xinhua News Agency that Chinese brands are completing the transition from "Made in China" to "Created in China," taking innovation as the core and soft power as the support, and steadily moving towards the center of the world stage.
In Haigh's (黑格) view, Chinese brands are shaking off the "OEM label," rapidly penetrating developing markets, and gradually breaking prejudices in developed markets. He predicts that in the next few years, more of China's top 500 brands will join the global list, transforming from "local strongmen" to "global giants."

The 2026 World Immunization Week, themed "Vaccines Work for All Generations," was recently held around the world. The World Health Organization (世卫组织) aims to use this theme to emphasize to the public that vaccines not only protect children but also span a person's entire life cycle, calling on countries to strengthen full life-cycle immunization and build cross-generational health barriers.
April 24-30 was the 2026 World Immunization Week. During this period, a variety of immunization and promotion activities were carried out around the world. In the Americas, the "Vaccination Week in the Americas" hosted by the Pan American Health Organization (泛美卫生组织) helped remote and vulnerable groups obtain vaccines through cross-border collaboration, community mobilization, and mobile vaccination services. In Europe, the "European Immunization Week" led by the WHO Regional Office for Europe focused on vaccine equity and information transparency, improving public awareness of vaccine safety and necessity through media campaigns, policy dialogues, and community participation. In Africa, the "African Vaccination Week" focused on building the capacity of primary health systems, striving to cover children in remote and conflict areas through mobile medical teams, community health worker networks, and digital registration systems.
According to WHO data, vaccination can prevent more than 30 serious diseases. In the past 50 years, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives worldwide and are one of the most powerful tools for safeguarding public health. Thanks to scientific advances, new vaccines against malaria, human papillomavirus, cholera, dengue fever, meningitis, respiratory syncytial virus, Ebola, and measles are saving more lives and helping people live longer and healthier lives. However, about 20 million children worldwide still miss at least one dose of vaccine, and the immunization gap remains prominent. The WHO said that the current period is the mid-term of the implementation of the "Immunization Agenda 2030" and the core stage of the implementation of the Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance 2026-2030 strategy. The primary task is still to reduce the number of "zero-dose children" and improve the equity of immunization.
The "Big Catch-Up" campaign promotes the establishment of sustainable mechanisms for identifying, screening, vaccinating, and monitoring vaccine coverage for children aged 1 to 5 years. Among the countries participating in the initiative, 12 countries, including Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, and Kenya, reported that the campaign has successfully covered more than 60% of "zero-dose children" under the age of 5. Taking Ethiopia as an example, more than 2.5 million children who had never been vaccinated before received the DPT vaccine; the country also administered nearly 5 million doses of inactivated polio vaccine and more than 4 million doses of measles vaccine to unvaccinated or under-vaccinated children. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance CEO, Dr. Sania Nishtar (尼什塔尔) said that the "Big Catch-Up" campaign fully demonstrates the importance of unity and cooperation. Thanks to this, not only have millions of children been protected from preventable diseases, but their communities and even future generations will also benefit.
China plays an active role in promoting global immunization equity. In Africa, the headquarters of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (非洲疾控中心) built with Chinese assistance was completed and put into use in 2023, significantly improving regional public health governance capabilities, including vaccination. In addition, the Chinese medical aid teams (中国援外医疗队) in various African countries conduct vaccine popularization, health education, and one-on-one consultation services in communities to enhance public awareness and acceptance of immunization, and carry out targeted prevention and control training in combination with local high-incidence diseases, promote the concept of "prevention first" to be implemented, and effectively improve local public health capabilities and community immunization levels.

In Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省), in the northeastern part of the motherland's territory, the three great rivers of Heilongjiang River (黑龙江), Songhua River (松花江), and Wusuli River (乌苏里江) surge and converge, outlining a long border line. Fuyuan (抚远), the "Easternmost of China," and Mohe (漠河), the "Northernmost of China," are located at the two ends of the northeastern border. Here, a group of young people bid farewell to their warm hometowns and rushed to the border for the same mission, interpreting their responsibility with perseverance, guarding the territory with dedication, and striving to build a higher level of safe border.
"No matter how cold the wind and snow are, they cannot stop the original intention of guarding the border."
"Do you know how many seasons there are in Beiji Village (北极村) in a year?"
"Isn't it the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter?"
"No, we only have two seasons here all year round: winter and 'approximately in winter.'"
Even after 7 years, Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐), 32, still vividly remembers the conversation he had with Niu Shulei (牛书磊), the then political instructor, when he reported to the Beiji Border Police Station (北极边境派出所) of the Daxinganling Border Management Detachment (大兴安岭边境管理支队) of the Heilongjiang Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station (黑龙江出入境边防检查总站) in March 2019.
Zhang Jiale's (张嘉乐) hometown is Jinhua City (金华市), Zhejiang Province (浙江省). At the end of December 2018, Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) took a plane to Harbin (哈尔滨) for the first time. As soon as he left the airport, the cold air of minus 20 degrees Celsius rushed towards him, instantly soaking his whole body. "It was a kind of bone-chilling cold that I had never experienced before."
During the two-month adaptive training in Harbin (哈尔滨), Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) developed a high fever on the first day due to his inability to adapt to the severe cold, and it took him more than a week to recover. When training in military posture, his ears were frozen stiff; during queue training, his hands and feet were once frozen and unable to move.
He survived all of this.
Beiji Town (北极镇), Mohe City (漠河市), Daxinganling Region (大兴安岭地区), Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省), is the location of the Beiji Border Police Station (北极边境派出所). It is the northernmost town in China with the highest latitude. On January 22, 2023, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the temperature in Mohe City (漠河市), Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省), dropped to minus 53 degrees Celsius, which is the lowest temperature extreme measured by China's meteorological department since meteorological records began.
Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) will never forget his first border river patrol. On the open border river, the wind mixed with snowflakes hit his face like a knife, and his feet were so frozen that he lost consciousness, and he could only walk mechanically with inertia. When he reached Boundary Marker No. 137, he gently brushed off the snow on it and cleared the surrounding dead branches. "No matter how cold the wind and snow are, they cannot stop the original intention of guarding the border," Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) said.
One winter night, the police station received a call for help, saying that a tourist had a sudden stomachache and needed assistance. At that time, the temperature was minus 45 degrees Celsius. Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) and three colleagues went to the rescue, treading through knee-deep snow, and finally sent the tourist to Mohe City (漠河市) for treatment overnight. Afterwards, Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) realized that his gloves had been squeezed off during the rescue, and his fingers were severely frostbitten, and it took three months to recover.
The cold is not the most difficult thing.
When visiting households, at first, Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) always had to face questions: "Are you from the South? Why did you come to our place? How long can you stay?" Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) never wavered. He put a pack of cigarettes and a bag of candy in his pocket. When he met older people, he would offer them a cigarette, and when he met children, he would give them a candy. He also tried to "get close" by learning Northeastern dialect, and visiting households more often. Gradually, everyone had a good impression of this young man from Zhejiang (浙江), and their catchphrase changed from "a Southerner" to "Do you have a girlfriend? I'll introduce you to one."
Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) often "followed and learned" from the old police chief. Whenever there was a police call, he would follow closely behind, taking notes on the process and learning the methods. When he saw the interrogation room lit up, he would apply to sit in and take notes, learning questioning skills. He also actively participated in various rescues to understand the handling methods of different emergencies.
In the ordinary post on the extremely cold border, Zhang Jiale (张嘉乐) has participated in nearly a thousand rescues. "The northernmost, coldest, and most loyal, the most remote, farthest, and most reassuring," a slogan in the Beiji Border Police Station (北极边境派出所) camp always makes Zhang Jiale's (张嘉乐) heart surge. "This sentence is my work goal and motivation."
"Guarding this island is like guarding my own home."
Zhang Xin (张鑫), 26, is a police officer at the Heixiazi Island Border Police Station (黑瞎子岛边境派出所) of the Jiamusi Border Management Detachment (佳木斯边境管理支队) of the Heilongjiang Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station (黑龙江出入境边防检查总站). His hometown is Haikou City (海口市), Hainan Province (海南省). This year is his seventh year of guarding the border on Heixiazi Island (黑瞎子岛).
Heixiazi Island (黑瞎子岛) is located in Fuyuan City (抚远市), Jiamusi (佳木斯), Heilongjiang (黑龙江), and is the easternmost end of China's land. It is the place that welcomes the sunshine into the motherland the earliest, and it is also the confluence of the Sino-Russian border rivers, Heilongjiang River (黑龙江) and Wusuli River (乌苏里江). The rivers outline a special border line on Heixiazi Island (黑瞎子岛), which also determines that Zhang Xin (张鑫) and his colleagues have to "float" on the river most of the time for patrols.
Fishing is prohibited on Heixiazi Island (黑瞎子岛) all year round, but occasionally people still fish illegally. As night falls, Zhang Xin (张鑫) and his colleagues enter the key patrol period. They drive the boats to the upstream of the patrol section, turn off all the lights, drift downstream, and keep silent.
Once, Zhang Xin (张鑫) found a newly discarded beverage bottle during a patrol and became alert. After searching, he found traces of cooking in the water grass bushes as deep as 1 meter, and judged that someone had secretly entered the island to fish illegally, but he was not sure whether they were still on the island, so he decided to adopt a stupid method - 守株待兔 (shǒu zhū dài tù - "guard stump wait rabbit," to rely on luck or wait idly for opportunities). The police were divided into two groups, guarding the entrance and blocking the exit.
After ambushing for a full 6 hours, they finally heard a faint motor sound. When they were about to reach the shore, there was suddenly no sound again. They were not in a hurry, but continued to wait. After half an hour, there was finally a movement of water grass falling down. Sure enough, someone was dragging a fishing boat ashore. The police decisively attacked and caught them red-handed.
In early spring and late autumn, the temperature on the border river is very low. Seeing the sun jump out of the river after a night of patrol is especially precious for Zhang Xin (张鑫) and his colleagues. Therefore, on sunny mornings, they will drive the patrol boat to the center of the border river, watching the rising sun rise slowly and the sunshine sprinkle on the land.
As the youngest police officer in the police station, Zhang Xin (张鑫) has not experienced the hardships of the first generation of police officers who landed on the island, "taking the sky as a quilt, the ground as a bed, drinking river water, eating dry food, using grass sticks as chopsticks, and wrapping clothes in mud and dust," but some patrol experiences when the border river is frozen in winter are also unforgettable for him.
"The experience taught to me by the director is not to stop, no matter how tired you are, don't stop. At a low temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius, the body will lose temperature quickly if you stop," Zhang Xin (张鑫) said. In winter, when patrolling on the ice, they generally do not eat in the middle, and walk the entire patrol route in one breath.
Living on a pontoon boat in the river for more than 6 months a year, and patrolling more than 100,000 kilometers since landing on the island, and understanding every vortex and every shoal on the border river channel, this is the skill that Zhang Xin (张鑫) has developed over the years.
"The 'Coconut Shadow Island (椰影岛)' in front was named by Zhang Xin (张鑫)," Director Li Hua (李华) told reporters.
"I remember it was early spring, the willow branches on the island began to sprout, and a little bear was staring at us eating on the shore. At that time, the longing for home was as urgent as the little bear's yearning for food. It seemed that the coconut tree scenery of my hometown was right in front of me, so I gave it this name," Zhang Xin (张鑫) said.
Heixiazi Island (黑瞎子岛) is not just one island. It is composed of islands such as Heixiazi Island (黑瞎子岛), Yinlong Island (银龙岛), and Mingyue Island (明月岛). Some very small islands do not even have names on the map. In order to facilitate positioning during patrols, the immigration management police who are stationed here all year round have given these islands warm names, and also attached their longing for their hometowns. Whenever festivals come, Zhang Xin (张鑫) and his colleagues always go to these small islands to take a look, just like returning to their hometown. "Guarding this island is like guarding my own home," Zhang Xin (张鑫) said.
"Walk more, ask more, and pay more attention, and the border will be safer."
One day in July 2019, the Heihe Border Management Detachment (黑河边境管理支队) of the Heilongjiang Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station (黑龙江出入境边防检查总站) assigned a new police officer, Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江), to the Huayuan Border Police Station (花园边境派出所). Seeing everyone busy, the newly arrived Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) was a little at a loss. Song Peng (宋鹏), the director who passed by, said: "You new comrade, take the initiative to lend a hand. How can you be a good policeman if you are timid?"
Time flies, and years temper. Today's Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) has long faded away from his youthfulness and grown into a transformation, interpreting the appearance of "being a good policeman" with perseverance and responsibility.
Seventeenth Committee of Liantong Community (联通社区) of Huayuan Street (花园街道), Aihui District (爱辉区), Heihe City (黑河市) is an old building area in the old city of Heihe City (黑河市), and it is also the "one-third acre" where Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) serves.
When Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) knocked on the door of a resident's house for the first household visit, he knocked for five or six minutes without anyone answering. Listening carefully, there was a faint sound of movement behind the door. Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) called for colleagues to support him while trying to contact the owner. The moment the door opened, a Labrador dog stared at them with big eyes. Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江), who was relieved, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Visits should be staggered," "Record more personnel information," "Be familiar with every plant and tree in the jurisdiction"... Colleagues' experiences have benefited Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) a lot. In two months, he knew the situation of 419 households and 1,147 people in the jurisdiction by heart. In the city's basic business competition organized by the Heihe City Public Security Bureau (黑河市公安局), Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) won the championship twice.
In 2021, Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) took over the responsibility area of the Sixth Committee of Liantong Community (联通社区). There were two neighboring households in the jurisdiction. After one household converted the house into a homestay, the noise problem caused neighborhood disputes, and residents complained to the police many times. Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) mediated more than 20 times, but the two sides still insisted on their own opinions and were deadlocked. He was not discouraged. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the renovation of the old community, he persuaded the two families to renovate their houses and install sound insulation facilities to resolve the disputes from the root. Now the neighbors are as close as a family, and they specially joined hands to send him a banner. "Walk more, ask more, and pay more attention, and the border will be safer," Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) said.
"Young people have active minds and many methods." This is Ren Yujie's (任禹洁) evaluation of Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江), the party secretary of the Huayuan Street Office (花园街道办事处).
High-altitude littering and littering frequently occur in the community, and the masses are full of complaints. Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) conducted research for days and suggested installing public cameras in every corner of the community; the anti-fraud publicity effect was not good. Yu Yangzhenjiang (于杨振江) combined his experience in teaching legal knowledge in schools and formed a "Doll Building Chief Group (娃娃楼长团)". From high school students aged fifteen or sixteen to elementary school students aged 10, they all became his good helpers, telling grandpas and grandmas about anti-fraud knowledge; he also practiced the "three households and five households side by side, eight households and ten households defend together" neighborhood watch model in the community. Once, he captured a criminal suspect involved in theft in just half a day. With everyone's efforts, the community's public security has been good for a long time.
The majestic national gate, the loyal guards, the youth are upward, and the country is forward. The new era has built a broad stage for young people, and generations of young people have written a youth answer worthy of the era in the "Three Rivers and Two Poles" with the belief of rooting in the border and serving the people.
Return to TopBy: 方 圆
Youth has many forms, and one is particularly radiant because it embraces the country and is rooted in the borderlands.
Young border guards from all over the country bid farewell to the warmth of their hometowns and resolutely devoted themselves to the northeastern border of the motherland. They treat their adopted land as their hometown and the people as their relatives, sticking to their posts and dedicating themselves silently at the grassroots level.
During the interview, Zhang Xin (张鑫) said a sentence: "When patrolling in winter, you can't stop no matter how tired you are." This is not only a way to survive the wind and snow, but also a spiritual portrayal of the younger generation's determination to stick to their posts and never stop. They use their blood to resist the wind and frost, and their original aspirations to guard the territory, writing the patriotic feelings and youthful responsibility of the new era's youth in the icy and snowy land.

Straight punches are powerful, side kicks are swift, and spinning kicks are executed flawlessly... At the recent 2026 China Youth May Fourth Medal and New Era Youth Pioneer Award ceremony, Peng Zhihui (彭志辉), co-founder of Agile Robots (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (智元创新（上海）科技股份有限公司), took the stage with his "silicon-based colleague" – the Agile Robots X2 robot – to perform. Every move showcased technological prowess and overflowed with patriotic fervor.
"Youth is the magic that can change the world. We are not waiting for the future, but creating it." From online social media content creator to technology entrepreneur, Peng Zhihui writes his passion into code, empowers industries with practical work, leads his team to achieve the world's first mass production of 10,000 humanoid robots, and promotes humanoid robots from the laboratory to thousands of industries, writing a vivid footnote for the strivers of the new era.
This year marks the beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan," and it is the right time for young people to make contributions. From guarding the snowy border to tackling key problems at the forefront of science and technology, from the fields of rural revitalization to the front lines of emergency rescue, every test examines the ideals and responsibilities, skills and perseverance of young people. The times are the examiners, presenting a grand exam paper concerning national rejuvenation, national development, and people's happiness. Young people are providing their youthful answers, responding to the call of the times with practical actions, presenting a vivid picture of the intersection of youth characteristics and the spirit of the times, and delivering excellent answers worthy of the times and the people.
The answer sheet of youth is written in the dedication to serving the country. Faith is the guide to action, and loyalty is the foundation of youth. In Pumiangtang Township (普玛江塘乡), Langkazi County (浪卡子县), Shannan City (山南市), Tibet (西藏), at an altitude of 5,373 meters, where the oxygen content is less than 40% of that at sea level, young police officers of the Pumiangtang Border Police Station (普玛江塘边境派出所) are rooted in this "no-go zone for life," guarding 1,511 square kilometers of border jurisdiction and 25 kilometers of border line, simply because "where we stand is China." For the youth of the new era, patriotism is not abstract; it is specific to every guard, every choice, transformed into the hard bones that support the national backbone, becoming a vivid portrayal of adhering to the original intention and bravely fulfilling the mission.
The answer sheet of youth is written in the innovation of overcoming difficulties. Facing the "bottleneck" problems in the field of science and technology, the youth of the new era bravely venture into uncharted territory and dare to tackle tough problems. Zhang Jingyu (张静宇), a researcher at Hubei Optics Valley Laboratory (湖北光谷实验室), first proposed glass multi-dimensional storage technology, breaking through the capacity and life limitations of optical storage. Using femtosecond laser technology, he increased the theoretical capacity of a single glass optical disc to 360TB, providing a Chinese solution for future data storage. Hu Xiaotian (胡笑添), a professor at the Jiangxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Thin Film Energy Chemistry (薄膜能源化学江西省重点实验室), led his research team to devote themselves to research and explore a wet preparation technology with independent intellectual property rights, promoting the mass production of flexible perovskite solar cells, enabling China's photovoltaic technology to achieve a leap from "following" and "running alongside" to "leading." These young scientific and technological workers prove with practical actions that only by holding the tranquility of 十年磨一剑 (shí nián mó yī jiàn - "ten years to grind a sword," great efforts over a long period) can we climb the peak of world science and technology, ignite the dream of serving the country with science and technology with the fire of innovation, and inject a continuous stream of youthful energy into Chinese-style modernization.
The answer sheet of youth is written in the dedication to rooting in the grassroots. Where the will goes, no distance is too far; where there is a road underfoot, there is light in the heart. Today, more and more young people are choosing to find "poetry and distance" in the depths of the countryside. Zhang Guifang (张桂芳), the post-95s Henan girl and Party branch secretary of Sanjia Village (三家村), Shilin Town (石林镇), Shancheng District (山城区), Hebi City (鹤壁市), Henan Province (河南省), painted the old streets into a rainbow village full of dopamine and promoted pumpkins and millet through live streaming, bringing the village's collective annual income to more than 500,000 yuan. The grassroots is the best classroom, and practice is the best teacher. Whether in the hot practice of rural revitalization or in the intensive cultivation of ordinary positions, contemporary youth prove with sweat that in an era where everyone enjoys the opportunity to shine, as long as they work hard, youth has unlimited possibilities.
The times are moving forward, and young people are moving upward. As the "15th Five-Year Plan" begins, the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation calls on the vast number of young people. The youth of the new era cherish the heart of patriotism, establish the ambition to serve the country, enhance the ability to strengthen the country, and write a more magnificent chapter of youth in the hot practice of building a Chinese-style modernization.

The foothills of the Daqingshan Mountains undulate, with shallow hills and gentle sloping pastures interspersed. Shaobuhai Gacha (绍卜亥嘎查) in Jihuluntu Sumu (吉忽伦图苏木), Shiguai District (石拐区), Baotou City (包头市), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区), is nestled quietly in this wilderness. I was born here in 1997. In 2022, Shiguai District (石拐区) openly recruited college students to return to the village to work, and I chose to return to this land that gave birth to me and raised me. This year is my fifth year working back in my hometown. I am now the Party Branch Secretary and Village Committee Director of Shaobuhai Gacha (绍卜亥嘎查).
When I first came back, many villagers gossiped: "Can a college student stay in the mountains?" It's better to do than say. In three months, I visited all 110 permanent households in the village. "The roads are difficult to walk, and they are all mud when it rains." "The sheep are fattened but can't be sold." I wrote down more than 200 heartfelt words in my notebook, determined to solve them one by one. Gradually, people stopped calling me "college student" and affectionately called me "Secretary Xiao Jin." This trust gave me unlimited motivation.
I know that if the village wants to develop and retain people, the key is to make the collective "family fortune" thicker. Shaobuhai Gacha (绍卜亥嘎查) used to be a truly backward small mountain village. The entire area under its jurisdiction is within the Daqingshan National Nature Reserve (大青山国家级自然保护区), making it impossible to implement large-scale planting and breeding projects. But I firmly believe that if we find the right path, a small mountain village can also fly out a "golden phoenix" and produce "golden nuggets."
"Enclave economy" is a model of regional cooperation that breaks administrative division restrictions. Xiashihhao Town (下湿壕镇) in Guyang County (固阳县) is adjacent to our Gacha (嘎查), with vast construction land area and convenient transportation. So I wanted to explore "enclave" pig breeding in the neighboring banner and county. In order to speed up the project's implementation and construction, I organized many village meetings, explained the market prospects to each household, clarified the distribution of benefits and risks, and strived for villagers' support. "At first, I was really unwilling to let you outsiders use our good land for breeding. You came frequently and explained it thoroughly, and I understood that you are not here to 'occupy land,' but for the 'money bags' of the people." The words of Uncle Xu (徐大爷) from Xiashihhao Town (下湿壕镇) impressed me deeply.
Some people say that the countryside is bitter and difficult, but I think that the countryside is full of opportunities. As long as you are willing to work hard and skillfully, there is hope. Being able to return to the villagers and lead everyone forward makes me feel extremely grounded and fulfilled. My roots are planted here, and my heart stays here. I only hope that the land under my feet will get better and better, and the people in my hometown will become more and more prosperous.

Return to TopThis year marks the beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. The "15th Five-Year Plan" outlines a clear blueprint for China's development over the next five years, demonstrating China's firm determination and confidence in advancing modernization, and once again attracting global attention to Chinese-style modernization. Starting today, this newspaper launches the "Overseas Voices on China" column, inviting well-known overseas political figures, experts, and scholars who have personally experienced and witnessed the great practice and achievements of Chinese-style modernization to interpret the new era of China with detailed observations and profound perspectives, and to tell the story of the real, three-dimensional, and vigorously advancing China and Chinese-style modernization in their eyes.
Enhancing Governance Effectiveness—
Turning Demographic Dividend into Innovation Engine
Djoomart Otorbaev (卓奥玛尔特·奥托尔巴耶夫)
Chinese-style modernization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), is not only a grand practice concerning China's development but also a major epochal phenomenon that profoundly changes the global political and economic landscape. As an observer who has long been involved in public administration affairs in developing countries and has visited China many times, I believe that this modernization process is an organic combination of long-term strategic planning and scientific practice based on China's national conditions.
For decades, China has been exploring a path to modernization that conforms to its own history, culture, and demographic conditions. Western modernization has mostly been accompanied by colonial expansion, resource plunder, and social stratification, with capital as the center and profit placed above social harmony. Chinese-style modernization adheres to a people-centered approach, follows a path of peaceful development, aims at common prosperity, pursues harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and relies on institutional advantages to concentrate efforts to solve development problems.
China has a population of more than 1.4 billion, which is larger than the total population of existing developed countries. Chinese-style modernization is the largest and most difficult modernization practice in human history. The super-large population brings three prominent challenges: First, the pressure on resources and the environment is enormous. Ensuring food, energy, and water security under limited arable land and resources requires precise and efficient overall allocation. Second, the risk of unbalanced development is prominent. The gap between urban and rural areas and regions places extremely high demands on the governance system. Third, the governance cost and execution difficulty are extremely high. To achieve the central government's decisions reaching the grassroots level and taking effect, strict institutional guarantees and strong governance capabilities are indispensable.
Faced with various difficulties, how has China successfully responded to the governance challenges of a super-large country with systematic and forward-looking measures, avoiding the predicament of being "large but not strong"? I had the opportunity to witness it firsthand during my visit to China. China has achieved comprehensive poverty alleviation through comprehensive measures such as targeted assistance, industrial cultivation, and relocation; built the world's largest high-speed railway network and expressway network, strengthening the connection between the central and western regions and the eastern coastal regions, reducing logistics costs, and smoothing domestic circulation; vigorously promoted the construction of rural digital and transportation infrastructure, and cultivated new business forms such as e-commerce and ecological tourism... These practices effectively narrow the development gap, maintain social stability, and achieve inclusive growth that many economies hope to achieve.
China's experience in shifting from a demographic dividend to a talent dividend is of great reference significance to developing countries such as Kyrgyzstan. China's economy once relied on abundant labor resources for rapid development. However, after entering a new stage of development, China has taken the initiative to shift to high-quality development, and has successfully promoted the upgrading of human resources through large-scale investment in education, science, technology, and research and development, laying a solid foundation for the development of new quality productive forces. Today, artificial intelligence and other technologies are widely used in China's smart cities, modern agriculture, and other fields, and governance effectiveness continues to improve.
China, with its huge population, is an important pillar of global economic stability. On the one hand, the super-large market and hundreds of millions of middle-income groups form strong domestic demand, providing lasting impetus for global trade and economic growth; on the other hand, the huge team of engineers, scientific researchers, and technical talents makes China an important engine of global innovation, providing more inclusive and accessible solutions in new energy, medicine, digital technology, and other fields.
In the long run, the overall modernization of more than 1.4 billion people is a landmark change in the history of human social development, breaking the myth of "modernization = Westernization," providing a new choice for countries in the Global South, and promoting the world to move towards multipolarity, diversification, and greater fairness. The practice of Chinese-style modernization shows that the development challenges of a super-large scale can be transformed into a powerful driving force for promoting historical progress, which not only benefits the Chinese people but also continuously contributes to the common development of the world and the cause of human progress.

Promoting Common Prosperity—
Ensuring Everyone Can Share the Fruits of Reform
Margit Molnar (玛吉特·莫尔纳)
In just a few decades, China has developed from a low-income country to an upper-middle-income country, while also achieving the transformation from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society. Looking back at China's rapid development since the reform and opening up, it can be seen that Chinese-style modernization is not a copy of the Western model, but a unique path of development based on its own national conditions.
In the 1980s and 1990s, I studied at a university in China and traveled to various parts of China every year. At that time, it took more than 50 hours to travel by train from Beijing (北京) to Kunming (昆明), Yunnan (云南). In order to go to some remote areas, I took trucks and other means of transportation more than once, bumping along with more than 10 people for several days in a row, and the vehicles would sometimes stop halfway due to various problems. Today, the face of urban and rural areas in China has been completely renewed, with railways and highways all over the country, and even some county-level cities have built airports. The continuous development of infrastructure allows tens of thousands of ordinary people to sell their own agricultural products more conveniently, increase their income, and improve their quality of life.
In the process of promoting rapid economic development and solving poverty, China also pays attention to ensuring the inclusiveness of economic growth through various policies and measures. For example, increasing investment in education enables the general public to master solid basic skills, while cultivating professional talents for various industries, it also enhances the ability of individuals to develop independently. This shows that poverty alleviation is not only an economic issue, but also a matter of governance capacity and institutional arrangements. In these aspects, China has delivered excellent answers.
Despite this, China still faces many challenges on the road to modernization. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize the quality of growth over speed. In recent years, China has proposed promoting high-quality development and cultivating new quality productive forces, emphasizing the upgrading of the economic structure through technological innovation, the digital economy, and green transformation; by developing advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and new energy industries, it has continuously improved total factor productivity, laying a solid material foundation for common prosperity. China also gradually narrows the gap between urban and rural areas and regions through regional coordinated development strategies, rural revitalization strategies, and institutional arrangements such as tax regulation and equalization of public services; through industrial transfer, counterpart support, and other forms, it promotes the formation of a complementary pattern between the eastern coastal areas and the central and western regions, demonstrating a strong institutional advantage that can concentrate and coordinate resources.
Poverty alleviation solves the problem of "having or not having," while common prosperity focuses on the problem of "equality or inequality." The significance of China's promotion of common prosperity for all the people is to ensure that everyone can share the fruits of reform and the dividends of economic growth. China's practice of promoting common prosperity shows that modernization is not the only model, and developing countries can completely explore a path of modernization suitable for their own national conditions and pursue and achieve common prosperity for all the people while maintaining their own independence and cultural traditions.

Demonstrating Unique Advantages—
Unifying Material Abundance and Spiritual Enrichment
Mark Levine (马克林)
Modernization is a diverse and complex systemic project, which includes not only the development of material civilization but also the construction of spiritual civilization. Chinese-style modernization is a major achievement of the long-term exploration and practice of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), which is not only reflected in the increasingly perfect infrastructure and convenient and efficient social life, but also in the continuous enhancement of cultural confidence. It is a modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated.
Different from the class differentiation and uneven distribution of interests in the early stage of Western modernization, Chinese-style modernization adheres to a people-centered approach, develops faster, promotes more smoothly, and plans more systematically. The socialist system provides a fundamental guarantee for all the people to share the fruits of development. Chinese-style modernization always adheres to the unity of material abundance and spiritual enrichment, and attaches great importance to the inheritance and promotion of excellent traditional Chinese culture, injecting profound heritage into the construction of spiritual civilization.
In the field of culture and art, Chinese literature, performing arts, painting, music, and other fields continue to innovate and develop. Contemporary Chinese literature has realized creative transformation and innovative development on the basis of inheriting tradition, which is more in line with contemporary spiritual life; through the construction of professional theaters, the establishment of training schools, and other measures, traditional opera has been effectively protected and revived, modern drama is increasingly prosperous, and the cultural life of the people continues to be enriched; following the widespread popularity of Western musical instruments such as the piano at the beginning of this century, the recent trend of learning national musical instruments such as the guzheng, erhu, and guqin has become increasingly popular, which not only reflects the openness and inclusiveness of cultural development, but also demonstrates the enhancement of cultural confidence and the fruitful results of spiritual civilization construction in the new era.
In the field of education, the world ranking of Chinese universities continues to rise, the number of scientific research achievements and patents is steadily increasing, the proportion of the population receiving higher education is constantly increasing, and the average number of years of education of the population is gradually increasing... These achievements not only provide solid talent support for Chinese-style modernization, but also vividly reflect the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization.
I have been engaged in foreign language and social science teaching in China for a long time, and I have found that the excellent traditional Chinese culture, the patriotism of the people, and the common desire to realize socialist modernization inject strong impetus into enhancing social cohesion and national identity. The excellent traditional Chinese culture represented by Confucianism advocates ideas such as harmony and inclusiveness, providing deep support for social stability and cultural identity, and also allowing China to maintain a harmonious and stable social situation while possessing strong national strength, which is an important result of China's emphasis on spiritual civilization construction. This is in sharp contrast to the social division and racial antagonism in some Western countries.
Chinese-style modernization has formed a good situation in which economy and culture promote each other. The development of material civilization lays a solid foundation for the construction of spiritual civilization, and the improvement of spiritual civilization injects impetus into the development of material civilization, demonstrating the unique advantages of Chinese-style modernization. China's steady and orderly development model takes into account the economy, infrastructure, and education and culture. Its concepts and practices have important reference significance for other developing countries, becoming a beneficial model for promoting modernization and will continue to contribute Chinese strength to global development and prosperity.

Demonstrating the Responsibility of a Major Country—
Peaceful Development Can Also Lead to Modernization
Danilo Türk (达尼洛·图尔克)
Peaceful development is an important feature of Chinese-style modernization. China's concept of peace is rooted in the idea of being kind to neighbors and harmonious with all nations (亲仁善邻、协和万邦). Since the founding of the People's Republic of China (新中国), it has never proactively provoked any war or conflict, nor has it occupied an inch of other countries' land. I have a deep understanding of China's adherence to the path of peaceful development.
Many years ago, when I worked in the United Nations Security Council as a representative of Slovenia, I worked with Chinese colleagues. At that time, European security issues and Balkan issues were the focus of the Security Council's agenda. As a permanent member of the Security Council, the Chinese representative never showed superiority when discussing relevant issues. Chinese colleagues would carefully listen to various ideas and proposals, and form a fair and balanced position and view after equal consultation.
From 2000 to 2005, when I served as the Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs at the United Nations, I witnessed China's consistent participation in international affairs with a peaceful attitude, making important contributions to promoting world peace and development. China actively participates in United Nations peacekeeping operations, from sending military observers to sending engineering and medical units in organized formations, providing humanitarian assistance and engineering support to conflict areas, and is a key force in United Nations peacekeeping.
China has always adhered to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, advocated the peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue and consultation, and is an important promoter of global peace and development. Within the framework of the United Nations, China's contributions have been highly recognized. At the same time, China has practiced the concept of peaceful development and win-win cooperation with practical actions through high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" (一带一路), the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, leaving vivid examples in many fields.
For example, the Pelješac Bridge in Croatia, which was completed and opened to traffic in 2022. The bridge was funded by the European Union Fund, supported by the Croatian government, designed by Slovenian architects, and built by Chinese companies. It connects the Croatian territory separated by the sea into one, facilitating people's travel. The project brings together the wisdom of all parties and achieves a win-win situation for all parties. It also demonstrates China's responsibility as an important force in global infrastructure construction, promoting the common modernization of all countries with its own modernization. China adheres to the path of peaceful development and develops together with all countries, which also allows more livelihood projects like the Pelješac Bridge to be implemented around the world.
When some Western scholars predicted that the rise of major powers would inevitably lead to confrontation with the "clash of civilizations" theory, China gave a different answer with the reality of peaceful development and win-win cooperation. Chinese-style modernization proves that modernization is not equal to Westernization, and peaceful development can also lead to modernization, providing a new choice for mankind to achieve modernization.
At present, facing the complex situation of frequent regional conflicts and the multilateral system being impacted, the international community needs to strengthen unity and rebuild trust more than ever before. China has always adhered to true multilateralism, firmly safeguarded the international system with the United Nations as the core, and constructively promoted international pragmatic cooperation, which is crucial for global stability and development. I look forward to all countries working with China to gather broader constructive consensus and strength, jointly improve the global governance system by steadily promoting the reform of international institutions, and inject lasting impetus into world peace and development.

Maintaining a Good Ecology—
Taking a Path of Harmonious Coexistence Between Man and Nature
Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr. (保罗·诺盖拉·巴蒂斯塔·朱尼尔)
The harmonious coexistence between man and nature is related to the improvement of people's quality of life, and also to the sustainable survival of mankind on the earth. China's practices and experiences in coordinating economic and social development and ecological and environmental protection in Chinese-style modernization are worth learning from by many countries.
From 2015 to 2017, I worked at the New Development Bank (新开发银行) headquartered in Shanghai (上海). During this period, I clearly felt that the air quality in Shanghai continued to improve, and blue skies gradually became the norm. When I returned to China last autumn, I looked out from the headquarters building of the New Development Bank and saw a clear blue sky and a broad view. China's air governance achievements are amazing, which is a microcosm of China's promotion of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
The important concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" (绿水青山就是金山银山) originating from China contains profound philosophy: For a country, maintaining a good ecological environment is the most inclusive and fundamental people's livelihood and well-being, and its importance is no less than the increase in material wealth.
Last year, I saw a mountain village scene of harmonious coexistence between man and nature in Ping'an Village (平安村), Guilin (桂林), Guangxi (广西). The village is located among the mountains, and you can see beautiful terraces when you open the window. The local development of ecological tourism not only allows the people to increase their income but also effectively protects the ecological environment. The green transformation of Chinese cities is equally impressive. In the streets and alleys, the new energy vehicles coming and going achieve zero emissions and low noise.
These achievements were not achieved out of thin air, but are due to China's consistent green development concept and the long-term strategic plan that has been continuously promoted. From the top-level design of ecological civilization to the "15th Five-Year Plan" outline specifically deploying the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development and the construction of a beautiful China, to the promulgation of China's first code named after "ecological environment," the "Ecological Environment Code of the People's Republic of China (中华人民共和国生态环境法典)," China has systematically incorporated the construction of ecological civilization into the national development strategy. It is precisely based on such institutional advantages that China has embarked on a path of modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, which is also a clear difference between Chinese-style modernization and other development models.
During my tenure as Vice President of the New Development Bank, the first project I led was a financing project to support sustainable development in Brazil. The New Development Bank has written sustainable development into the core terms of the agreement, and has shouldered a green mission since its inception. Over the years, it has continued to provide green financing for offshore wind power projects, photovoltaic power generation projects, and other projects in many countries. In these fields, China is at the forefront of technological development. China supports the New Development Bank in carrying out green business, and also provides pragmatic support and makes positive contributions to global green development through diversified platforms and mechanisms such as the joint construction of the "Belt and Road (一带一路)," the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (亚投行), and the Export-Import Bank of China (中国进出口银行).
Government departments in countries of the Global South can go to Chinese urban and rural areas to conduct field research and learn from China's successful experience in promoting green development. At present, many countries, including Brazil, have carried out similar exchanges. I hope that this kind of mutual learning can continue to deepen.

During the "May Day" holiday, several sets of data outlined a vivid picture of China in early summer.
Mobile China is "running" faster. Data from the Ministry of Transport (交通运输部) shows that during the "May Day" holiday, the total cross-regional personnel flow in the whole society reached 1.517 billion, with an average daily flow of over 300 million, a record high for the same period in history. Unlike in previous years, the spring breaks of primary and secondary schools in more than 30 cities this year were connected to the "May Day" holiday, and the travel peak was stretched into a "wide peak" that extended before and after, with a stable middle.
Cultural tourism consumption is becoming "new." During the "May Day" holiday, sales revenue in consumption-related industries increased by 14.3% year-on-year. If travel in the past was about "seeing the scenery," this year's "May Day" has become about "finding oneself." Whether it's "rushing to a distant place for a life photo," "going to a city for a game," or "traveling with a performance," new formats with experience as the core are booming.
The holiday property market is "warming up." According to monitoring by the Beike Research Institute (贝壳研究院), during the "May Day" holiday, the signing volume of new and second-hand houses in Shenzhen (深圳) increased by 50% year-on-year; from April 27 to May 5, the sales volume of new houses on the Beike platform in Guangzhou (广州) exceeded 1,400 sets. Before the holiday, Guangzhou and Shenzhen implemented new property market policies, accurately activating market potential, and the popularity of the property markets in the two cities rebounded significantly, showing a positive trend.
Against the background of increased external shocks and a structural contradiction of strong supply and weak demand facing the economy, these bright performances in the holiday economy are encouraging and thought-provoking: How can expanding domestic demand be more effective?
The answer lies in the logic of "supply-demand resonance." It is necessary to create new demand with new supply, so that supply and demand can achieve dynamic balance at a higher level.
In the past, when it came to expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption, many people's first reaction was to introduce total stimulus policies and rely on fiscal and monetary policies to directly stimulate consumption. However, expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption is a long-term task. Only by putting effort into stimulating the market's endogenous power can consumption truly become a lasting driving force for economic growth.
To stimulate the market's endogenous power, it is crucial to improve the system and mechanism and clear the blockages in consumption. Taking Shenzhen's new property market policy as an example, it has released potential market demand by implementing targeted relaxation in core areas such as Futian District (福田区) in Shenzhen, allowing a large number of new citizens, flexible employment personnel, and entrepreneurial groups to have the qualifications to purchase houses. This is to release consumption potential by clearing unreasonable restrictions in the consumption field through policies.
Creating new demand with new supply, the key is in the new, and the core is in adapting to changes in demand. Through the "May Day" holiday, we can find that in the transition from "having it" to "having it well," people's yearning for a better life has extended from material satisfaction to the field of service experience. Therefore, only by accurately connecting with demand and creating new scenarios with emotional value and experience upgrades through technological innovation and business integration can we truly achieve a virtuous cycle of supply and demand.
The practice of the railway department is quite enlightening. Seizing the opportunities of events such as "Su Chao" (苏超) and "Gan Chao" (赣超), the railway department launched a "fan train" customized service, which not only met the new demand of fans to "travel with the game," but also attracted more fans to join the sports event viewing with new supply, forming a virtuous circle of "supply creating demand." Similarly, Beijing Shougang Park (北京首钢园) has carried out a number of sports events to promote the growth of park visitors, and the "exoskeleton robot" and other activities in the Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum (深圳科技馆) have led to a research and study craze. These new supplies are turning potential demand into explicit life.
Expanding domestic demand is a key measure to deal with the current economic challenges. Grasping the "bull nose" of domestic demand will play a positive role of 牵一发而动全身 (qiān yī fà ér dòng quán shēn - "move one hair and affect the whole body," a slight move in one part affects the situation as a whole).
When supply and demand maintain a good match, the economic cycle can turn around and run smoothly and powerfully. In the "supply-demand resonance," optimizing the supply system and releasing the potential of domestic demand, the giant ship of the Chinese economy will surely ride the wind and waves and move steadily and far.

Small and medium-sized micro enterprises are the "capillaries" of economic operation and the "reservoir" of social employment. As of now, the number of SMEs in China exceeds 60 million.
Currently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工业和信息化部) is working with relevant departments to carry out the "Together Benefit Enterprises" SME service action in 2026, launching practical service measures to help SMEs reduce costs, increase efficiency, improve quality, and upgrade. Recently, reporters visited Beijing (北京), Ningxia (宁夏), Hunan (湖南), and Guizhou (贵州) to conduct on-the-ground investigations of innovative and characteristic SME service activities organized by various regions in accordance with local conditions, to achieve precise service, precise assistance, and precise empowerment.
School-enterprise cooperation, "good technology" becomes "new application"
"Previously, in the AI (artificial intelligence) driven unmanned retail and robot scene application development, we have long been plagued by technical bottlenecks such as low accuracy of algorithm recognition, insufficient autonomous perception and AI interaction in complex scenes, and lack of networked collaborative models," said Wu Jiaqiang, deputy general manager of Hunan Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. (湖南兴元科技股份有限公司).
SMEs have technical needs, and universities have scientific research results, but there is a lack of a bridge in the middle. Xingyuan Technology found the "Science and Technology Innovation Bridge" government-enterprise-school docking platform in Ningxiang, Hunan (湖南宁乡) - the Ningxiang Science and Technology Bureau (宁乡市科技局) sent experts to the factory, the enterprise and the stationed experts maintained daily communication, and a phased evaluation was organized every six months... Soon after, Xingyuan Technology successfully joined hands with Professor Meng Bumin's team from Xiangtan University (湘潭大学孟步敏教授团队) to form an innovative consortium and embarked on the "fast track" of tackling key technologies.
The two sides have built an efficient mechanism of "universities provide technology, enterprises build platforms, and results are jointly transformed": 3 graduate students are stationed on the front line of the enterprise, and Professor Meng Bumin travels from Xiangtan (湘潭) to Ningxiang (宁乡) every one to two weeks to provide on-site guidance; Xingyuan Technology fully provides real-world scenario verification and market landing guarantees, and the two sides jointly built the industry's first "Digital Intelligent Retail AI Robot Training Center."
In just one year, the technical breakthrough was immediately effective: the accuracy of the company's core algorithm recognition increased significantly from 60% to 90%. At the end of 2025, the flagship product jointly developed by the school and the enterprise - the "Xingyuan Space Capsule" digital intelligent unmanned retail AI robot was officially launched.
Wu Jiaqiang said with emotion, "The 'Science and Technology Innovation Bridge' has a high degree of technical matching, and the government follows up on the effectiveness of the implementation throughout the process. It is precise and warm, and truly helps us solve the 'bottleneck' problem."
In order to solve the problem of the "two skins" of science and technology and industry, Hunan (湖南) is focusing on promoting the precise docking of school-enterprise supply and demand, carrying out collaborative tackling of key technologies, and building an online and offline collection mechanism of "three lists" of enterprise technology needs, expert teams, and scientific and technological achievements transformation needs, to accurately match enterprise needs and university achievements.
"In the past two years, more than 2,000 enterprise technology needs, more than 1,000 university scientific and technological achievements, and more than 2,000 expert teams have been collected," said a relevant person in charge of the Hunan Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology (湖南省工信厅). More than 100 large and small activities such as experts entering parks, enterprises entering universities, and industry special docking have been organized, covering more than 2,000 enterprises, and are committed to turning more "good technologies" in the innovation chain into "new applications" in the industrial chain.
Featured credit products, precisely connect with technology-based SMEs
"Five years ago, we almost couldn't pay our salaries," said Liu Guzhuan, Minister of the Finance Department of Yigong Robot Yinchuan Co., Ltd. (一工机器人银川有限公司).
The predecessor of Yigong Robot was Jinshi Robot Yinchuan Co., Ltd. (金石机器人银川有限公司), which was established in 2015 and mainly engaged in the research and development and manufacturing of robots and accessories. The company's R&D personnel account for nearly 30%, and it is a typical technology-based small and micro enterprise. After operating independently from its parent company in 2019, the number of customers dropped sharply. In 2020, the company continued to lose money, and its asset-liability ratio remained high.
Liu Guzhuan recalled that because the company had no fixed assets such as its own factory buildings and large equipment for mortgage, most bank credit thresholds were difficult to meet, financing channels were severely blocked, and the company's development fell into a bottleneck.
The turning point came in 2020. The Science and Technology Department of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (宁夏回族自治区科技厅) and Ningxia Bank (宁夏银行) launched "Ningke Loan" (宁科贷), which is specially designed to help technology-based SMEs, adopting a model of government guidance, risk sharing, and financial interest subsidies. This fund became the first key financing obtained by the company. Since then, the "Ningke Loan" quota has gradually increased to 5 million yuan, helping Yigong Robot to survive the most difficult period.
In 2022, Yigong Robot obtained the national-level specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprise qualification certification and entered a new stage of development. In 2023, the company's order volume increased significantly, and the pressure on capital turnover came again. At this time, China Everbright Bank Yinchuan Branch (光大银行银川分行) took the initiative to connect with the company and tailored the "Specialized, Refined, and New Loan" science and technology financial service.
The core competitiveness of science and technology enterprises is concentrated in technical patents, R&D teams, and technical breakthroughs. Most of the funds are invested in product iteration and upgrading of scientific research equipment, and there is a general lack of traditional collateral. "This product does not require collateral, and you can apply for a test amount online first and take it as you use it. We initially just tried it out, but we didn't expect to get the amount in 10 minutes and get the credit in 2 working days," said Liu Guzhuan.
Dong Wei, head of the Inclusive Finance Department of China Everbright Bank Yinchuan Branch (光大银行银川分行普惠金融部), introduced that as of the end of March 2026, China Everbright Bank Yinchuan Branch has visited various science and technology innovation enterprises in Ningxia (宁夏) more than 300 times, completed 283 credit test amounts for households, calculated an amount of 387 million yuan, and cumulatively approved an amount of 320 million yuan.
"Yinchuan City (银川市) will deeply practice the purpose of financial services for the real economy, explore needs, and provide services to open up the 'last mile' of government-finance-enterprise docking," said Li Siyuan, head of the Coordination and Development Section of the Yinchuan Municipal Party Committee Financial Office (银川市委金融办协调发展科). By accurately connecting with the financing needs of technology-based enterprises, guiding financial institutions to innovate and launch characteristic credit products such as "Technology Innovation Loan," "Intellectual Property Pledge Loan," and "Science and Technology Innovation e-Loan," we will strive to reduce the financing costs of enterprises. In the future, we will focus on the financing difficulties of enterprises and take practical measures such as platform empowerment, precise services, and capital assistance to help SMEs achieve high-quality development.
AI empowerment, acting as the "policy housekeeper" for SMEs
"From site selection and docking, negotiation and signing to decoration and landing, it only took more than 3 months, and the efficiency far exceeded expectations," said Zhou Shixiong, head of Guizhou Zhichuang Dental Research Technology Co., Ltd. (贵州智创齿研科技有限公司). The company precisely landed in Guizhou Industrial Design City (贵州工业设计城) using the "Guigongyi" (贵工翼) AI park investment management solution independently built by the Guizhou SME Service Network (贵州中小企业服务网).
In February last year, the Guizhou SME Development Promotion Center (贵州省中小企业发展促进中心) launched the "Guigongyi" AI client, which is connected to a variety of large models, which can help user companies collect counterpart policy information with one click, detect enterprise operating risks, and propose enterprise quality improvement and upgrading plans.
"We originally selected sites in multiple provinces at the same time. After entering the factory area, location support, industrial chain collaboration and other needs through the AI park management system, the system quickly matched park resources," said Zhou Shixiong. The platform sorted out the park's positioning, industrial support, policy support and other information clearly, which highly matched the company's development needs, saving a lot of on-site inspection costs.
After seeing the ability of "Guigongyi" to accurately match needs, Guizhou Tongtian Technology Industry Development Co., Ltd. (贵州同天科技产业发展有限公司), as the operator of Guizhou Industrial Design City (贵州工业设计城), also began to use "Guigongyi" for investment promotion.
"Before this, investment promotion relied entirely on manual running and referrals from acquaintances. It often took half a year to recruit a company, and there were often mismatches in needs," said Zhang Bo, a staff member of Tongtian Technology (同天科技). Some time ago, the park urgently needed to supplement the spatial identification design section, and the operation team quickly screened out high-quality target companies through the "Guigongyi" AI precision investment promotion function.
It can attract phoenixes to build nests externally, and can accurately help enterprises in difficulty internally. "Guigongyi" is also the "policy housekeeper" and "development consultant" for local SMEs. Guizhou Dingcheng Rongxin Technology Co., Ltd. (贵州鼎成熔鑫科技有限公司) mainly deals in precision parts for the hydraulic industry. As a small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprise, it often faces the dilemma of lagging policy information and difficulty in obtaining industry data in the past. "In the past, we waited for notifications for policies, and we often missed the application period when we got the information. We had to spend tens of thousands of yuan to purchase industry research reports, which was very costly," said Zhou Wei, the company's general manager.
After accessing "Guigongyi," these problems were solved: the platform AI intelligently matches SMEs with relevant policies, and quickly pushes financial services and other policies that benefit enterprises; it can download industry analysis reports for free to keep abreast of industry trends; the intelligent Q&A module covers policy consultation, financial and tax laws and other scenarios, and answers questions for enterprises at any time. "Now AI is like our full-time consultant, helping us seize development opportunities that we might have missed," said Zhou Wei.
"'Guigongyi' breaks the limitations of traditional government service information display, supports the construction of the Guizhou SME Service Network (贵州省中小企业服务网) covering nine public service modules including 'Invest in Guizhou, Find Parks, Find Policies, Find Services, and Enterprise Self-Testing,' and deeply connects with the national SME service 'one network' to achieve 'local login, national reach'," said Li Yubo, director of the Guizhou SME Development Promotion Center (贵州省中小企业发展促进中心). Currently, the "Guigongyi" AI client covers 75 specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises, 1,705 specialized, refined, and new enterprises, and 2,395 innovative SMEs.
Full life cycle service, cultivating specialized, refined, and new enterprises
In Haidian District (海淀区), Beijing (北京), on the training ground of Dongfang Fashion Driving School (东方时尚驾校), a student sits alone in the driver's seat. Turning, parallel parking, reversing into the garage... Under the real-time guidance of the voice in the car, a set of operations is smooth and fluent.
"Our independently developed AI coach system integrates high-precision sensors, intelligent body decision-making technology and big data analysis, and can provide students with accurate teaching 7×24 hours," introduced Ma Hong, founder of Yixian Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (易显智能科技有限责任公司). Today, the company's technology has been promoted and applied in hundreds of intelligent driving training parks across the country. "The rapid growth of the company is not only due to the iterative wave of artificial intelligence technology, but also inseparable from the 'full life cycle' close service of Beijing (北京市)," said Ma Hong.
In 2025, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology (北京市经济和信息化局) launched the "Beijing SME Service List," which closely focuses on the development needs of enterprises from start-up to maturity throughout the entire life cycle, and launches a number of targeted service measures from five aspects: policy interpretation, cultivation services, financing and listing, brand promotion, and rights protection.
Financing is the most difficult hurdle for technology-based SMEs. In 2025, Yixian Intelligent's independently developed new energy intelligent networked training vehicle achieved small-batch production, and customer demand quickly exceeded 1,000 units. "This is a historic order, and we must quickly raise funds to invest in production and delivery," Ma Hong recalled. After learning about the situation, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology (北京市经济和信息化局) took the lead in coordinating, and Minsheng Bank (民生银行) responded quickly, "and quickly provided the company with 6 million yuan of low-interest loan support, which helped us solve our urgent needs."
Empower enterprises in the accumulation stage. In April this year, the Beijing Specialized, Refined, and New Entrepreneur Empowerment Training Camp (北京市专精特新企业家赋能特训营) opened again on the shore of Yanqi Lake (雁栖湖) in Huairou District (怀柔区). In the 4 days, financing roadshows, case sharing, and industry salons were staged in turn, and government officials and industry experts answered questions and connected needs on the spot.
"The harvest far exceeded expectations," said Hu Hongmei, deputy general manager of Yixian Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (易显智能科技有限责任公司), who participated in the training camp last year. What impressed her was that "not only did we learn knowledge, but through the exchange platform built by the training camp, we also reached a computing power cooperation intention with related companies, which provided stable support for the next iteration and upgrade of the AI coach system."
"This year, we plan to hold 10 training camps to train the main management personnel of 1,000 specialized, refined, and new enterprises," introduced Wang Yuan, director of the SME Division of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology (北京市经济和信息化局中小企业处).
As of the end of 2025, Beijing (北京) has cumulatively cultivated 16,600 innovative SMEs, 10,800 specialized, refined, and new enterprises, and 1,214 national-level specialized, refined, and new "little giant" enterprises. "We always adhere to 'being the family of enterprises and doing a good job of caring services'," said a relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology (北京市经济和信息化局). In the next step, we will continue to optimize the "service list" to help more SMEs grow.

"If Heaven did not love wine, there would be no Wine Star in the sky. If Earth did not love wine, there should be no Jiuquan (酒泉)." In Li Bai's (李白) ode to wine in "Drinking Alone by Moonlight, II," he elevates the place name Jiuquan (酒泉) into a cultural symbol, fully displaying the unrestrained boldness of the northwest frontier.
Jiuquan City (酒泉市) is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor (河西走廊) in Gansu Province (甘肃省), a transportation hub where the four provinces of Gansu (甘肃), Xinjiang (新疆), Qinghai (青海), and Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) meet. In the second year of the Yuanshou era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (汉武帝), General Huo Qubing (霍去病) twice led his troops into the Hexi Corridor (河西走廊), defeating the Xiutu King (休屠王) in the Jiuquan (酒泉) area. From then on, "the Hexi land was emptied, and there were no more invaders." The Han Dynasty (汉朝) established the Four Commanderies of Hexi (河西四郡) here, and together with the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions (西域), they developed the Hexi Corridor (河西走廊).
As the "throat protecting the Hexi (河西), and an important town for managing the Western Regions (西域)," Jiuquan (酒泉) connects the Central Plains (中原) with the Western Regions (西域), becoming a vital passage on the ancient Silk Road. To consolidate border defenses, guard the Western Regions (西域), and develop trade, the Han Dynasty (汉朝) established Yangguan (阳关) and Yumenguan (玉门关), becoming the forefront of opening up to the outside world.
In the melodious sound of camel bells, caravans of Chinese and foreign merchants loaded with goods came in an endless stream. The camel teams connected the material exchange, technological dissemination, and ideological integration between the East and the West, outlining a flowing picture of world cultural exchange. The camel hooves not only brought the circulation of goods, but also promoted the westward transmission of technological sparks such as papermaking and printing, as well as the eastward spread of Buddhism, music, and dance.
Jiuquan (酒泉) is a traditional multi-ethnic mixed settlement. Various ethnic groups have created diverse and coexisting economic forms. Some are mainly engaged in animal husbandry or a mixed economy combining agriculture and animal husbandry; others are mainly engaged in agriculture or commerce, while also engaging in animal husbandry. In terms of economy, the nomadic culture of living by water and grass and the settled farming culture have had close interaction, promoting the improvement of the productivity level and the transformation of production methods of various ethnic groups, and promoting the integration of clothing, diet and other material lifestyles of various ethnic groups.
From a "land for grazing horses" to the "key throat" of the Silk Road, the historical changes of Jiuquan (酒泉) are also an epic development history.
When the winds of history sweep across the Qilian Mountains (祁连山), Jiuquan (酒泉), this ancient border city, based on its local resource endowments, is developing new quality productive forces in the Gobi Desert by adapting to local conditions. Jiuquan (酒泉) has vast Gobi deserts that can be used for new energy development. The theoretical developable amount of wind energy resources exceeds 600 million kilowatts, and the country's first ten-million-kilowatt-level wind power base is located here.
Photovoltaic power generation is also advancing side by side. Jiuquan (酒泉) has an average annual sunshine duration of about 3,300 hours, and the area within its borders that can be used for developing photovoltaic projects is about 50,000 square kilometers. These factors make Jiuquan's (酒泉) solar thermal installed capacity among the highest in the country, making it an important base for photovoltaic manufacturing and export in the Northwest.
Today, the "Ode to the Wind" and the "Sunshine Song" resonate in the ancient Silk Road county. Rows of wind turbine units rotate in the wind on the vast Gobi Desert, and arrays of photovoltaic matrices shine in the sun, sending clean energy to all directions.
In the opportunity of jointly building the "Belt and Road" with high quality, Jiuquan (酒泉) is also China's "bridgehead" for opening to the west. Relying on its geographical advantages, Jiuquan (酒泉) has built a logistics network connecting the inland and radiating to Central Asia. As an ancient commercial hub, this ancient county that has traversed thousands of years is taking tradition as its root and modernity as its soul, and is continuing to write a new legend of diversified economic development in the hinterland of the Hexi Corridor (河西走廊).
The Qilian Mountains (祁连山) are still majestic. In Jiuquan's (酒泉) millennia of history, the weight of history and the vitality of modernity are intertwined, and the warmth of culture and the铿锵 of industry coexist. From the traditional farming of the Gobi oasis to the "wind-chasing and sun-pursuing" new energy industry, from the luminous cup carvings in the alleys to the new energy products that go to the world, from the camel bells of the Silk Road to the roar of the China-Europe freight train... Jiuquan (酒泉) proves with practice that tradition and modernity can completely become a symbiotic entity that nourishes each other and achieves each other.

High-tech enterprises are an important qualification recognized by the state to encourage corporate innovation. High-tech enterprises can enjoy a series of preferential policies in finance, taxation, and finance. At present, China has cultivated 509,000 high-tech enterprises. In the first 11 months of 2025, the total profit of high-tech industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 5.3% year-on-year. High-tech enterprises have played an important role in promoting scientific and technological innovation and consolidating and expanding new quality productive forces.
However, it should also be noted that the number of high-tech enterprises whose qualifications have been revoked has increased. In 2025 alone, more than 4,300 companies were "delisted." This not only maintains the seriousness of the system, but also makes the market truly feel that continuous innovation and standardized management are the "hard standards" for high-tech enterprises.
From the perspective of qualification recognition, according to the "Administrative Measures for the Recognition of High-tech Enterprises" revised in 2016, the validity period of high-tech enterprise qualification is three years from the date of issuance of the certificate, and dynamic management is implemented. In recent years, with the improvement of supervision strictness and refinement, some behaviors such as "emphasizing declaration and neglecting maintenance" and non-standard financial data have been exposed. Therefore, "having both entry and exit" is a necessary measure to maintain the vitality of this system and ensure that innovation resources are truly used on the "blade" and flow to enterprises that truly have innovation vitality and potential.
From the perspective of the enterprises themselves, most high-tech enterprises are at the forefront of the market, have a sensitive sense of innovation, maintain a high intensity of R&D investment, and actively promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. However, some companies, after obtaining qualifications and enjoying dividends, have varying degrees of problems such as the proportion of high-tech product (service) income not meeting the standards, insufficient R&D investment, and insufficient talent introduction and cultivation. These behaviors violate the original policy intention of high-tech enterprises and deviate from the "main line" of corporate innovation. Being "delisted" is a reminder to these companies, which is conducive to them reorganizing, standardizing their behavior, and truly adjusting their business focus to technological innovation.
Developing new quality productive forces must proceed from reality and adhere to **实事求是** (shí shì qiú shì - "seek truth from facts," be practical and realistic). Only by adhering to what should be done and what should not be done can we truly achieve something and achieve practical results. In the past, companies had the motivation to apply for high-tech enterprises, and some places also had the motivation, and regarded their number as one of the main indicators of local scientific and technological innovation. Some departments and localities even tacitly allowed companies to cope with inspections by means of "collecting indicators, filling up the number of people, and creating nodes," and attempted to "**蒙混过关**" (méng hùn guò guān - "muddle through," to slip through under false pretenses) during the three-year review. These behaviors diluted the color of innovation and distorted incentives. Many places have released lists of high-tech enterprises being "delisted," which is a manifestation of developing new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions.
In the future, the recognition of high-tech enterprises needs to be further improved, especially to strengthen the normalized evaluation mechanism, such as by implementing "flying inspections" to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the system. At the same time, technology is developing rapidly, some technologies are at the "forefront," and some are still in the gestation period, bringing challenges to the development of enterprises at different stages. This requires that the system design and the recognition of some indicators should be both targeted and flexible to avoid "**一刀切**" (yī dāo qiē - "one size fits all," to impose a uniform standard regardless of the actual situation). For enterprises, it is necessary to abandon the speculative mentality of trying to get away with it once and for all, and to realize that obtaining qualifications is only the starting point, and ensuring that various indicators dynamically meet the standards is the fundamental way to keep this "golden signboard."

A person, a computer, and a set of AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools, independently completing the entire closed-loop process from product design and research and development to operation and customer service—this is a real entrepreneurial scene unfolding in Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江).
One Person Company (One Person Company, abbreviated as "OPC") refers to an entrepreneurial method where an individual, with the help of AI tools, independently completes the entire commercial closed-loop process from product design and research and development to market launch, achieving a "single person army."
Under the empowerment of AI technology, what is the survival status of these "single person army" entrepreneurs? How should the city "catch" this wave of innovation? Recently, reporters conducted in-depth on-site investigations.
Technology Empowerment
From Idea to Implementation, the Cycle is Greatly Shortened
In the "Honghu Hui (鸿鹄汇)" one-person company acceleration community located in Shangcheng District (上城区), Hangzhou (杭州), more than half of the 42 open workstations in the 1,200-square-meter open space have been booked. Entrepreneurs are typing on their keyboards.
"AI undertakes 80% of the programming work. I am the strategist, product manager, and chief operating officer." Li Yunfan (李云帆), born in 1998, chose to join when "Honghu Hui (鸿鹄汇)" was established. This computer science graduate once formed a team to develop application software, and later transitioned to a "one-person company." His AI essay correction product, "Zuowen Shuo (作文说)," has exceeded 15,000 users in four months since its launch. From code writing to interface design, AI is his "employee."
"In the past, a commercial closed loop that required a team to complete can now be completed by one person." Li Yunfan (李云帆) pointed to the data on the screen and said that compared to traditional "big factories," "one-person companies" have faster decision-making, lower costs, and more flexible transformations, greatly shortening the cycle from idea to implementation.
Not only that, but under AI empowerment, the entrepreneurial threshold has also been greatly reduced. Wang Xin Yi (王心怡) is a design major graduate student who became an entrepreneur in the "Honghu Hui (鸿鹄汇)" community at the age of 24.
"Gua Gua, what should I do if I can't stop scrolling on my phone?" Just say a sentence to this little green frog, and it will automatically "spit" out a comforting note. At the Global "Hackathon" competition held in Hangzhou (杭州) recently, Wang Xin Yi (王心怡) spent 48 hours polishing this AI printing desk pet called "Ji Li Gua Gua (叽里呱呱)," winning the gold award in the "Game Creation" track.
Based on 1,500 questionnaires, over 100 hours of case interviews and analysis, "Honghu Hui (鸿鹄汇)" recently released the "2026 One Person Company Insight Report." The report shows that non-technical backgrounds now account for 75% of OPC entrepreneurs, and operational backgrounds are almost on par with technical backgrounds.
The report proposes the HACR (Human-Machine Cost Ratio) indicator for the first time. The data shows that for every 1 yuan of AI cost invested by a one-person company, it can equivalently replace approximately 72 yuan of development labor expenditure.
"AI tools compress the marginal cost of code production. When the UI (User Interface) can be built by AI and the code can be generated by AI, a technical background is no longer a prerequisite for entrepreneurship, and the weight of industry knowledge, user insight, and business judgment increases accordingly," said Zou Ling (邹凌), founder of "Honghu Hui (鸿鹄汇)."
Zou Ling (邹凌) introduced that since the "Honghu Hui (鸿鹄汇)" community was launched in September last year, it has received more than 1,300 entrepreneurial project applications and selected more than 30 "super individual" projects to settle in. "We adhere to the principle of free entry and provide 400,000 yuan in funding support for projects that pass the review." Zou Ling (邹凌) said that the companies currently stationed are mainly divided into two types: one is AI productivity tools, such as voice assistants, industrial-grade AI applications, etc.; the other is creative industries, covering animation, short dramas, AI film and television combinations, etc.
"The biggest difference between OPC and individual industrial and commercial households in legal form is that the former is an independent legal person, while the latter is not. That is to say, OPC has more independent operating characteristics. In a legal sense, it is a complete enterprise, and it presents completely new characteristics in terms of organizational form and development trend," said Dong Yu (董煜), Executive Vice President of the Institute for China Development Planning, Tsinghua University (清华大学).
Policy Support
Simplified Procedures, Entrepreneurs Start Lightly
Now in Hangzhou (杭州), OPC gathering communities like "Honghu Hui (鸿鹄汇)" are becoming more and more numerous. They not only provide physical space but also become a stage for entrepreneurs to establish connections—
In the offline developer center of the "Moda Community (魔搭社区)" in Xihu District (西湖区), Hangzhou (杭州), a micro-roadshow is underway in the open communication area. "Want to meet more one-person entrepreneurs," "Find an AI partner," "Cutting-edge AI exchange"... The information wall in the shared office area is also pinned with many cards, filled with the real needs of the residents.
"For one-person company entrepreneurs, in addition to physical space, community culture and collaborative atmosphere can help us re-establish individual connections with each other, thereby catalyzing new creations and business opportunities," said OPC entrepreneur Chen Hui (陈晖).
Chen Hui (陈晖) introduced that his previous entrepreneurial direction was intelligent desk lamp hardware. Considering the cost and promotion difficulty, in the community's micro-roadshow, partners suggested that he change the track. Now, he is focusing on AI-assisted job search software: resume optimization, job matching, and mock interviews can all be done with one click. During the exchange, Chen Hui (陈晖) and Qi Lin (祁琳), who was once the chief human resources officer of a listed company, hit it off—one is deeply involved in technology, and the other is good at marketing, and entrepreneurship has changed from "one person struggling" to "two people working together."
In the "China Digital Valley·Future Digital Intelligence Port (中国数谷·未来数智港)" in Shangcheng District (上城区), entrepreneurs can complete the application for a business license on the "Cloud Window (云窗)" all-in-one machine at the entrance of the park and obtain the certificate in 1 hour. In addition, Shangcheng District (上城区) has also launched the "OPC One-Code Pass (OPC一码通)," allowing policy consultation, space application, etc. to achieve "one-code direct access, one-call response."
"These designs meet the efficiency needs of OPC entrepreneurs, allowing them to achieve 'from 0 to 1' at the fastest speed and concentrate their energy on core businesses," said Ran Wei (冉伟), founder of Hangzhou Lingke Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (杭州羚柯智能科技有限公司), an OPC entrepreneur in the "Future Digital Intelligence Port (未来数智港)." He used AI to develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem service platform, which aggregates policies and industry information from all over the country through a general intelligent agent to provide full-process support for OPC entrepreneurs.
Now, Zhejiang Province's (浙江省) first artificial intelligence OPC industry government service station has been launched in the "Future Digital Intelligence Port (未来数智港)." The station provides municipal, district, and street-level government services on demand and integrates state-owned enterprise platform resources, allowing companies in the community to "handle affairs without leaving the park." The "Hangzhou Shangcheng District Artificial Intelligence OPC Characteristic Industry 'One-Category Matter' Service List (杭州上城区人工智能OPC特色产业“一类事”服务清单)" was also released, integrating four categories of administrative approval, space application, accompanying services, and scenario services, totaling 24 items, to provide OPC with full life cycle government services.
"In response to the problem of insufficient manpower for OPC, we have deployed the 'Hangzhou Government Service·Cloud Window (杭州政务服务·云窗)' in the future hall to provide remote video one-on-one assistance, realizing 'zero trips' for enterprises to handle affairs and allowing them to focus on innovation," said the relevant person in charge of the Shangcheng District (上城区) Examination and Approval Office.
Not just Shangcheng District (上城区). On April 16, the Hangzhou (杭州) Municipal Market Supervision Bureau officially issued the "Several Measures to Support the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development of One Person Companies OPC (支持一人公司OPC创新创业发展的若干举措)," proposing 12 measures in 5 aspects to support the entrepreneurial development of one-person companies—
Entrepreneurs can log in to the "Zhe Li Ban (浙里办)" enterprise establishment zone to enjoy AI intelligent recommendation filling, full paperless, and half-day completion services. The first set of official seal engraving and electronic business license are completely free and mailed to home. Hangzhou (杭州) is exploring "sandbox supervision" in OPC gathering areas, giving 1 to 3 years of observation period, replacing rigid penalties with risk warnings, and "not disturbing" companies with good credit. At the same time, it strengthens the linkage mechanism for fair competition review, strictly prohibits setting office area, personnel size, registered capital, etc. as access or reward thresholds, completely eliminates "identity discrimination," and supports OPC to participate equally in AI scenario applications and standard setting, seizing industry discourse power.
"After our visits, we found that they are more focused on business research, and their ability to grasp relevant compliance content is not enough. They don't even know how to write annual reports or how to collect invoices. If our compliance guidance can intervene in advance, the entrepreneurial cost may be lower for OPC, and the success rate will be higher," said Fu Guowei (傅国伟), director of the Administrative Approval Department of the Hangzhou (杭州) Municipal Market Supervision Bureau.
Ecosystem Construction
Cultivate System Capabilities, Create a "Rainforest"
The reporter also found in the interviews that the biggest anxiety of many OPC entrepreneurs is often not the start-up, but how to survive and grow, generally facing the dilemma of "finding money, finding people, and finding projects," especially the lack of channels to connect with market demand. At this time, it is very important for the government to take the initiative to build a platform.
Walking into the Xinmo Community (芯模社区) in Xiaoshan District (萧山区), Hangzhou (杭州), on the 11th floor of an office building, Wu Zongkai (吴宗凯), a postdoctoral fellow at Westlake University (西湖大学), led the team sitting in front of shared workstations, with several computers and robotic arm models on the table—this is all the "family property" of the team of Reality Intelligence Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (实境智能科技（杭州）有限公司). This team of only 4 members has built a high-quality training data set through self-developed equipment, AI generation, and physical simulation, and has planned 30 to 50 reusable task scenarios covering typical operations such as grasping, assembly, sorting, and handling. Wu Zongkai (吴宗凯) explained: "Our job is to build a 'world model base' for embodied robots, which is to allow robots to truly 'understand' the world."
"The computing power support provided by the community has reduced our costs by 60% to 70%." Wu Zongkai (吴宗凯) said that Xiaoshan District (萧山区) has rich industrial scenarios. Under the leadership of the Xinmo Community (芯模社区), the team's cooperation with physical enterprises is increasing. This real "scenario empowerment" can solve the commercialization pain points of OPC better than simple financial subsidies.
In February this year, Xiaoshan District (萧山区), Hangzhou (杭州) proposed an action plan to cultivate a "Super Individual (OPC—STC)" demonstration zone, planning to cultivate a group of new business entities with "light assets, high computing power, and strong delivery" in one year—Xinmo Community (芯模社区) brings in computing power, scenarios, and industrial resources to accelerate the transformation of "single-point capabilities" into "system capabilities."
Here, the operator actively connects technical teams like Reality Intelligence (实境智能) with the rich industrial manufacturing, logistics, and other physical scenarios in the district, so that technology can be implemented in real environments. "Xiaoshan District (萧山区) is a major manufacturing district. We talk about 'small can also be promising' and explore starting from a community and a company to gradually revitalize the entire industrial ecosystem," said Luo Jun (骆军), director of the Xiaoshan District (萧山区) Development and Reform Bureau.
In the Moda Community (魔搭社区) in Xihu District (西湖区), the first branch of the Hangzhou (杭州) Market Scenario Innovation Center is located here. It has collected 292 needs and 362 technical capabilities from relevant parties. It automatically matches through online mini-programs, and there are also offline "living rooms" for direct talks. Since September last year, Shangcheng District (上城区) has solicited actual needs in the fields of people's livelihood, cultural tourism, and consumption from the entire district, forming an "opportunity list," and regularly holds special matchmaking meetings to allow entrepreneurial enterprises to showcase on stage and demand units to seek on-site. Currently, more than 250 needs have been collected and 141 scenarios have been released.
Wang Yao (王瑶), deputy director of the Artificial Intelligence Development Division of the Hangzhou (杭州) Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said that in the future, it will further promote open-source model cultivation, open-source community construction, and open-source policy innovation. Next, it will focus on establishing an OPC capability list and opening an OPC scenario matchmaking special session to provide OPC with a larger stage to connect to more resources from demand parties.

Recently, "intelligent agents" and "tokens" have become frequently discussed topics. Seemingly niche artificial intelligence open-source projects are giving rise to new business models and market opportunities. In this wave of technological upsurge, domestic large model technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and its applications have continued to expand, not only injecting vitality into the development of the intelligent economy but also gradually becoming the cornerstone of global innovation.
As an important driving force for a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence is currently at a critical point in its development. For example, in terms of programming capabilities, artificial intelligence has demonstrated enormous application potential in code design, writing, testing, and deployment, and can even reach the level of human experts in some knowledge work. It is generally expected in the industry that artificial intelligence will further promote the leap in social production efficiency in the future and become a powerful assistant in people's work and life.
In the past, when talking about China's Internet and digital economy, people often raved about the huge user base and diverse application scenarios. These advantages have continued into the era of artificial intelligence. In March of this year, China's daily token call volume exceeded 140 trillion, an increase of more than 1,000 times in two years; the number of generative artificial intelligence users exceeded 600 million, with a penetration rate of 42.8%. More importantly, a number of self-developed large models that can rival the world's top large models have emerged in China, becoming an indispensable variable in artificial intelligence innovation. From topping the global large model list in some performance aspects to the rise of multi-modal model capabilities, and then to the derivation of intelligent agent clusters from a single intelligent agent... The growth of China's large models is not only reflected in quantity but also in quality, application depth, and global influence.
Last year, China's global downloads of open-source models ranked first in the world. In our recently released technical report, we conducted the first reconstruction in 10 years of the residual connection, a key component of the Transformer architecture, from the underlying logic level, allowing model training to find a new evolutionary space, which has aroused heated discussions at home and abroad. The new technology not only enables more types of domestic chips to be practically used for large model reasoning but also reduces the overall operating costs of large models.
The numerous Chinese open-source models have both quantitative advantages and qualitative strengths, and are becoming a "benchmark" in the evaluation of global model manufacturers and an important sample for overseas research institutions, and are gaining greater global influence. The domestic large model Kimi developed by our team has gained a place in the global market with its high cost performance, becoming a "productivity tool" for many overseas developers and users, and the paid call volume of the model has increased significantly. We believe that, unlike the closed-source model, China's open-source model can be widely used and form an ecosystem, promoting global development through the approach of 众人拾柴火焰高 (zhòng rén shí chái huǒ yàn gāo - "many people collect firewood, the flames rise high," many hands make light work).
Rapidly developing large models need time to settle and polish, and cannot be separated from the research and dedication of 板凳甘坐十年冷 (bǎn dèng gān zuò shí nián lěng - "willing to sit on a cold bench for ten years," enduring loneliness and focusing on research). We will constantly encounter problems in the process of tackling technical problems, and new problems will follow one after another whenever a problem is solved. Only by calming down to face the problems and bending down to solve the problems can we leave a series of solid and forward-looking footprints on the long road of artificial intelligence exploration, and enjoy fruitful results after becoming "friends of time."
For thousands of years, mankind has been looking for new ways to break through the boundaries of knowledge. At present, artificial intelligence is expected to become one of the "powerful levers" for breakthroughs. We will provide inclusive artificial intelligence technology achievements to the world through solid underlying technology innovation and an open mind, and contribute more Chinese strength to global innovation.

I.
People have a body of flesh and blood, but more importantly, a cultural soul. The body of flesh and blood relies on material products to maintain its survival, while the cultural soul relies on spiritual products to nourish its growth. Although each person's cultural soul exists attached to the body of flesh and blood, how the body of flesh and blood acts, including the choices of what to do and what not to do, as well as the temperament and demeanor of speech and behavior, is manipulated and controlled by the cultural soul behind it. In simple terms: the brain controls the limbs, and the heart moves to the left and right actions.
What kind of cultural soul you have often determines what kind of person you are. The connotation and quality of the cultural soul not only determine the attitude and manner of dealing with people, the level of life, but also mostly determine the success or failure of a lifetime's career and the size of the achievement. How to forge an excellent cultural soul and continuously improve its quality? There are certainly many ways and paths to mention, but in any case, reading is an important option that should not be missed.
Life is difficult to exceed a hundred years. Compared with the long history and the vastness of the world, personal direct experience is nothing more than "寄蜉蝣于天地，渺沧海之一粟" (jì fú yóu yú tiān dì, miǎo cāng hǎi zhī yī sù - "mayfly attached to heaven and earth, a millet in the vast sea," a mayfly's life is short compared to the vastness of the universe). Only reading can traverse the tunnel of long time, open the skylight of vast space, and present the great achievements, worries, vicissitudes, wisdom, and foolish lessons of the past and present to the mind, so that we can produce the miracle of seeing in all directions, hearing in all directions, and traveling through ancient and modern times, galloping across the world.
Reading is an understanding of the external world, but also a development of one's own life. Although people's bodies of flesh and blood have different heights, weights, and sizes, they are after all within a certain volume range, but people's cultural souls will produce a world of difference due to the size of the amount of reading and the difference in quality. Reading is the process of sucking the nutrition of human spiritual civilization and transforming it into one's own knowledge and thought. Some people have broad knowledge and insight into the world, while others are ignorant and confused when encountering things. The reason for the huge gap often lies in whether they have enjoyed and occupied the rich wealth of human spiritual civilization through reading.
The impact of reading on a person's growth cannot be overemphasized. Huang Tingjian (黄庭坚) of the Song Dynasty said: "If a person's mind is not irrigated with ancient and modern times for a long time, then vulgarity will arise in it, and when looking in the mirror, one will feel that one's face is hateful, and one will also find one's speech tasteless." The "irrigating with ancient and modern times" mentioned here is to draw the sweet spring of ancient and modern classics in reading, and to enrich one's mind with the wonderful thoughts and experiences of the sages. Otherwise, it is difficult to get rid of the mediocrity of the vulgar atmosphere of the market, so that one "feels that one's face is hateful when looking in the mirror, and one's speech is also tasteless to people."
II.
Reading is not only an effective path for each of us to get rid of mediocrity, but also an indispensable and important link for the intergenerational transmission of the entire culture.
So far, the main carrier of human classical culture is books based on text, and of course there are also some paintings and film and television works presented in the form of images. Whether it is a vast sea of books, or dazzling paintings and film and television works, if no one reads or watches them, they are just quietly sleeping printed symbols and image codes. Just like the USB flash drive we often use today, even if the content stored in it is exceptionally rich and wonderful, if it is not opened for reading and appreciation, it is just a small thing made of metal and other materials wrapped in a chip, which is no different from ordinary cold little objects.
Chinese civilization is broad and profound, with a long history. The important reason why it can become the only great civilization in the world that has continued and developed to this day in the form of a country is that for thousands of years, Chinese sons and daughters have respected culture and valued education, carefully guarded and read the cultural classics passed down from generation to generation, and obtained wisdom and strength to cope with new challenges from them, and condensed these wisdom and strength into new classics, forming a winding and towering spiritual Great Wall, or a great tradition of continuous flow.
Reception aesthetics and hermeneutics, which arose in the second half of the 20th century, only call the works written by writers "texts," and the works read by readers are called "works." A text is just a "physical object" containing the potential of meaning with a certain symbol or image, such as a stack of manuscripts, a book, or a picture album, etc. The concretization and realization of its meaning, that is, the transformation of the "text" into a "work," is completed by the reader's reading. Without readers, even the greatest text is just a silent shell. Only when it is understood, activated, and reconstructed in reading can the text gain life and value.
As long as we do not look at the problem from the perspective of philology, the works created in each era with fixed words or brushes are often not the "definitive edition" of meaning, and their connotation and meaning are not objectively immutable. Tao Yuanming (陶渊明) had almost no influence in the Eastern Jin (东晋), Southern and Northern Dynasties, and early Tang Dynasty. It was not until the rise of the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty, through the reading and admiration of Li Bai (李白), Du Fu (杜甫), and even Su Shi (苏轼), that he established his status as a great poet. Zhang Ruoxu's (张若虚) poem "Spring River Flower Moon Night" (春江花月夜) in the Tang Dynasty was silent for about 800 years from its birth to the early Ming Dynasty. After the mid-Ming Dynasty, its reputation became increasingly loud, so that Wang Kaiyun (王闿运) in the late Qing Dynasty said that it was "孤篇横绝" (gū piān héng jué - "a single piece stands out," a single piece is outstanding and unique), and Wen Yiduo (闻一多) in modern times called it "the poem in poetry, the peak on the peak." This change itself shows that the birth of a work is not the end of the meaning creation process. The reading and comments of readers in that time and later generations are the continuation of its meaning creation, and also a subsequent chapter that cannot be ignored.
III.
The aesthetician Zhu Guangqian (朱光潜) has a famous saying: "To appreciate a poem is to recreate a poem." The appreciation mentioned here is essentially reading. When Tao Yuanming wrote "采菊东篱下，悠然见南山" (cǎi jú dōng lí xià, yōu rán jiàn nán shān - "picking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence, my gaze leisurely reaches the southern mountains"), he must first have seen this image and felt this artistic conception in nature, and then used words to convey the meaning. When we read and appreciate these two lines of poetry, the textual symbols also prompt a similar image and artistic conception to appear in the brain. However, what we see and feel cannot be exactly the same as what Tao Yuanming saw and felt, because the situation that everyone appreciates contains their own colors and creations, and contains the reflection of personal character and experience.
This continuous process of reading is actually a process in which people re-"reforge" the cultural products forged by the predecessors, and reforge them in the furnace of their own era, society, and personality. The meaning and value of cultural classics, especially literary and artistic works, often vary greatly in different "re-forging" processes, as if the rolling Yangtze River (长江) shows different styles and splendor in different sections and basins.
As the reading subject of each era, readers must always interpret and experience the "living" writing situation and psychological activities of the ancient sages "at that time" with their current "living" thoughts and feelings of life and work. This shows that reading is not only "statically" reading books, but also a process of "living" dialogue and exchange. It is in this sense that the German hermeneutic master Gadamer (伽达默尔) said in "Truth and Method": "Tradition is not just something ready-made that we inherit, but something that we produce ourselves, because we understand the progress of tradition and participate in the progress of tradition, and thus further define tradition by ourselves."
Whether it is a past classic or the entire cultural heritage, when it becomes the object of our acceptance and inheritance through reading, the meaning that we understand and further confirm will inevitably converge and precipitate into tradition. Tradition is not a stagnant pool of stagnant water, but a rushing river, and the vitality of its unremitting flow comes from its meaning being constantly re-read, re-discovered, and re-interpreted. Therefore, we say that reading makes culture enduring and new.

Zheng Xie (郑燮), a calligrapher, painter, and writer of the Qing Dynasty, was known as Master Banqiao. He left behind the calligraphy "Hard to be Muddleheaded" (难得糊涂), which is not only sought after by calligraphers but also regarded by some as a guiding principle in life, either recited frequently or solemnly hung in the central hall.
Consequently, a "muddleheaded philosophy" has quietly permeated the minds of some, blurring the lines between good and evil, right and wrong, and dissolving the bottom line of public reason and justice. They retreat in the face of evil, hesitate before righteousness, regard indulgence as generosity, and consider being slick as composure.
Master Banqiao would probably smile wryly if he knew from beyond the grave. Master Banqiao's "Hard to be Muddleheaded" refers to being a bit muddleheaded when facing personal interests. But when facing good and evil, right and wrong, and the bottom line of public reason, he, who was "generous and unrestrained" (慷慨啸傲) (kāng kǎi xiào ào - "generous and unrestrained," describes a person who is bold, upright, and not constrained by worldly conventions) throughout his life, as towering as a mountain rock and as upright as green bamboo, was never muddleheaded in the slightest.
Not only was he not muddleheaded, but he also had a clear understanding of the people's livelihood and was selfless and impartial. Historical records state: "(Zheng Xie) was transferred to Weixian. In a year of famine, people were eating each other. Xie opened the granary for disaster relief loans. Some people tried to stop him, but Xie said, 'What time is this? If we wait for the report to be submitted level by level, the people will have no survivors. I will take the blame.' He distributed several stones of grain, ordering the people to issue receipts for the loans, saving more than ten thousand people." This refers to the eleventh year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, when Zheng Banqiao served as the magistrate of Weixian (潍县) (now Weifang (潍坊), Shandong (山东) Province). He encountered a rare famine and immediately ordered the opening of the granary for disaster relief. Some people advised him to act cautiously and report to higher levels first. He resolutely said, "What time is this? By the time the report is submitted level by level, the people will have already starved to death. I will bear the responsibility." On the scales of the people's lives and deaths versus his personal career advancement, he resolutely chose the former, without the slightest hesitation or muddleheadedness.
In the autumn of that year, Weixian (潍县) suffered another poor harvest. Master Banqiao took out his "official integrity silver" (养廉银) to pay taxes for the people, exchanging it for a pile of IOUs. When he left office several years later, he "burned all the IOUs" (悉取券焚之), burning all the IOUs in a fire. In his heart, money was as light as ashes raised in the fire, while the warmth and coldness of the people weighed a thousand pounds.
After reading and closing the book, my heart was also illuminated by the pile of firelight. Master Banqiao was "Hard to be Muddleheaded" (难得糊涂) when it came to personal wealth, but he was never muddleheaded when it came to righteousness and integrity, but was clearly as clear as a bright breeze and a clear moon.
Master Banqiao regarded money as light as ashes, while Zihan (子罕) of the State of Song (宋国) in the Spring and Autumn Period regarded integrity as more important than beautiful jade. Someone obtained a beautiful jade and presented it to Sicheng Zihan (司城子罕), but Zihan (子罕) refused to accept it. The jade presenter claimed that he had asked an expert to appraise it and confirmed that it was a rare treasure. Zihan (子罕) replied, "I regard non-greed as treasure, and you regard jade as treasure. If you give it to me, both will lose their treasure. It is better for each person to have their own treasure." One light and one heavy, different tunes played with equal skill. The clarity of the two stems from their adherence to the bottom line of righteousness and their cherishing of personal integrity.
The story of Gong Yixiu (公仪休), the Prime Minister of Lu (鲁相) in the Warring States Period, who loved fish but did not accept fish, is more like a "sobering soup" that the ancients brewed for future generations. "Because he loves fish, he does not accept fish. Now that he is prime minister, he can provide himself with fish; if he accepts fish now and is dismissed, who will give me fish again? Therefore, I do not accept it." In a few words, he stated the relationship between immediate petty gains and the long journey of life. Nowadays, how many people cannot distinguish the importance of the temporary versus the long-term, and become muddleheaded on temporary gains, temporary pleasures, and temporary conveniences, making a mistake that lasts forever. Reviewing life, one should regret not knowing Gong Yixiu (公仪休) in the first place.
In fact, Gong Yixiu's (公仪休) clarity in refusing fish lies not only in being able to calculate the short-term and long-term accounts, but also in the firmness in his heart to abide by his conscience and not destroy his great integrity.
I am also reminded of the late Mr. Yuan Longping (袁隆平). He devoted his life to the research of hybrid rice and won important awards such as the National Top Science and Technology Award. But even after achieving success and fame, he remained the same, still wearing a straw hat and rubber shoes, and soaking in the rice fields every day. He knew that scientific research was the foundation of his life, and fame and fortune were just fleeting clouds. This clarity is a detachment from being bound by fame and fortune, and a determination to the path he came from and his original intention.
It can be seen that so-called clarity is understanding the principle of making choices: everything in the world contains right and wrong, and if you are always muddleheaded and follow the crowd, losing your principles and losing your sense of propriety, you will live like a person who has lost his soul, unable to straighten your back and unable to walk the right path. And those who have great righteousness in their hearts will not abandon their principles because of personal gains and losses, nor will they lose their way because of the temptation of fame and fortune, but will understand how to make choices and know how to persevere.
Those who are clear-headed act with purpose and not recklessly, give without stealing, and persevere without hesitating, and will eventually enter the hearts of the people and enter the annals of history. Master Banqiao who opened the granary for disaster relief was like this, Zihan (子罕) who refused to accept beautiful jade was like this, Gong Yixiu (公仪休) who did not accept fish was like this, and Mr. Yuan Longping (袁隆平) who was rooted in the fields all his life was also like this.
The journey of life is long, and we should be like Master Banqiao, hard to be muddleheaded, but never muddleheaded.

A few years ago, I was a guide when a documentary about ships was being filmed on the Sichuan River (川江). During that time, I happened to hear that a private museum in Southeastern Guizhou had a "Miao waist boat" (苗家腰船), which was quite rustic and interesting, so I suggested that the film crew go and film it. However, the director said frankly that the journey was too far, and it would not be cost-effective for a team to go there specifically to film a small wooden boat, in terms of both time and money, and the original script did not include the waist boat.
Although this matter was dropped, I always kept it in mind. Several years passed, and one day in early spring this year, I suddenly thought of that Miao waist boat again, so I simply decided to go and immediately booked a high-speed train ticket. The next day, at around 10 a.m., I finally stood in the folk museum of the Miao Family Courtyard (苗家大院) in Leishan County (雷山县), Guizhou (贵州).
As far as I could see, the waist boat I had been thinking about was indeed a very small wooden boat, 1.1 meters long, only 23 centimeters wide and high, and weighing less than 20 pounds. The inside and outside of the boat were uniformly black and gray, probably due to its age, and it was inconspicuous on the display stand.
Coincidentally, the owner of the folk museum was actually surnamed Miao (苗), an oil painter who had moved here from Hangzhou (杭州) to settle down. Mr. Miao (苗先生) heard that I had come all the way to see the waist boat, so he warmly welcomed me and told me the story of the boat's origin. In 2013, he went to Xiaodanjiang Miao Village (小丹江苗寨) in Rongjiang County (榕江县) for the "Eating New Rice Festival" (吃新节). When he passed a house, he saw this small wooden boat placed on a stone ridge under the eaves. The boat was covered with natural water wave patterns. He found it particularly beautiful and could not move on. So, he immediately ordered his nephew to go to the street to buy wine and vegetables and come back, so that they could have lunch at this Miao family's home.
The Miao family's male host looked to be in his 60s, calm and simple. Mr. Miao drank with him and chatted casually. It turned out that the small wooden boat was made by the older generation in the family, hollowed out from a whole section of tree trunk. His family had many paddy fields and large plots of land. During the rice transplanting season, the small wooden boat was used to carry rice seedlings. The boat rope was tied around the waist, and the person walked and the boat walked, so as not to waste time going back and forth to get the seedlings and delay the work.
After drinking good wine and eating a full meal, Mr. Miao became familiar with the Miao family host and offered to buy the waist boat. The host was very reluctant to part with it, wanting to keep it as a memento. Mr. Miao said sincerely, "If you give it to me to preserve, it will last longer than if you keep it yourself." This was the truth, and the host understood it in his heart. After some bargaining, they finally agreed on a price of 1,000 yuan.
In the villages of Southern Guizhou (黔南) and Southeastern Guizhou (黔东南), it used to be common to use "waist boats" to carry rice seedlings. Generally, ordinary wooden foot basins were used as "waist boats," and it was not common to actually make "waist boats" into small wooden boats. The "waist boat" collected by Mr. Miao may seem inconspicuous, but it has a long and ancient charm.
After saying goodbye to Mr. Miao, I continued south to Nanning (南宁), Guangxi (广西). While having lunch at a small restaurant in a town, there was a shop selling agricultural supplies next door. More than a dozen brand-new small wooden boats were placed at the entrance, assembled from wooden boards, similar to waist boats, but slightly shorter and wider. Was this place selling "waist boats"? I was curious, so I went up and started talking to the shop owner.
"This is called a seedling boat!" the owner explained. "People sit and transplant rice seedlings without bending over, so their backs don't ache so much!" I then noticed that there were 4 parallel horizontal wooden strips in the middle of the small wooden boat, which could be used as a seat. There were small cabins in the front and back of the small wooden boat, which could also be used to hold rice seedlings.
"Seedling boats existed as early as the Song Dynasty (宋代), and Su Dongpo (苏东坡) even wrote a poem praising them," the owner said with a cultured tone.
Su Dongpo's poem is called "Seedling Horse Song" (《秧马歌》), which compares the "boat" to a "horse," which is very vivid. The general content is: I saw in Wuchang (武昌) (now Ezhou (鄂州), Hubei (湖北)) in the past that the local farmers all rode seedling horses to transplant rice seedlings. The belly of the seedling horse is like a small boat, and the head and tail are raised high. People who do not use seedling horses bend over like a konghou (箜篌) when transplanting rice seedlings, and their heads are as low as chickens pecking rice. People are so tired that their muscles and bones ache all over, and they keep complaining. The seedling horse is very light, made of paulownia wood, and can be lifted with one hand. People sit on the seedling horse, and their two feet replace the horse's four hooves, traveling in the fields, as light as a water bird. Bundled rice seedlings can also be placed on the seedling horse, and a thousand qis (畦) (small plots divided in the field) of rice seedlings can be transplanted in a day. Compared with those who work hard with their backs bent, it is much more comfortable.
I asked the agricultural supply store owner, "Now that there are rice transplanters, are there still people using seedling boats?"
"Yes, quite a few. Families with few fields are used to using seedling boats and find them light and convenient," the owner replied confidently. "I also sell them online, and people in Guangdong (广东), Fujian (福建), and Jiangsu (江苏) buy them."
Indeed, if there were no business, why would the owner sell them? It's a pity that the local area will not start transplanting rice seedlings for more than 10 days, otherwise I would really like to see how farmers ride on "seedling horses" and "sail" in the fields as lightly as water birds.
Maybe next time. Keep it in mind.

I touch it, the surface is rough.
Irregular in shape.
I couldn't find a part where it could open its mouth and speak.
But Shangfengmenlong Village (上凤门垅村) speaks for it.
The village sits on a hill.
It has been named Ugly Stone Village (丑石村).
There are vents everywhere.
The Dongwu Ocean (东吾洋) behind the village sings loudly every night.
Singing of the lofty aspirations for the Ugly Stone.
The passing poet also speaks for it:
You are hidden in the hills,
But also at the top of the sea.
You are an ugly stone, but also a beautiful jade.

In mid-spring, by the Han River. The spring breeze blows, and amidst the lush greenery, a touch of red is particularly eye-catching. Zhou Yunkang (周云康), wearing the Han River Volunteer Rescue Team uniform, strolls along the riverbank as usual, his eyes never leaving the seemingly calm water surface. Citizens passing by for their morning exercise greet him warmly. In Ankang City (安康城), many people are familiar with this "Captain Zhou," who is not burly but full of vigor.
Among the crowd, several teammates wearing the same uniform are also closely watching the river surface not far away. The clear river water will not forget that in the past few years, it was these familiar figures who repeatedly lifted drowning people ashore, giving them a renewed hope for life.
Time goes back to a day in June 2003. That evening, the weather was sultry, and Zhou Yunkang, who had loved swimming in the Han River since he was a child, went to the river to swim again. Suddenly, a muffled sound came from not far away, and a splash of water more than a foot high rose from the river surface. Dimly, he saw a woman fall into the water.
Save her! Zhou Yunkang didn't have time to think. He dived towards the center of the spreading waves, and after approaching, he tightly grasped the drowning person's hand and never let go. With the help of the crowd, the drowning woman was brought to the shore. After landing, the drowning woman's mother knelt in front of Zhou Yunkang, and the indescribable gratitude turned into tears and one "benefactor" after another. Zhou Yunkang helped the old woman up and disappeared into the crowd.
For 13 springs and autumns, Zhou Yunkang and his swimming friends have brought nine drowning people ashore from the splashing waves and the huge water vortex. His family was afraid that something might happen to him and reminded him countless times: Your life is also a life! The family's concerns were not unreasonable, and they made him clearly realize that if he wanted to save people from the river, relying solely on his own strength and the strength of a few people was far from enough.
**众人拾柴火焰高** (zhòng rén shí chái huǒ yàn gāo - "many people gather firewood, the flames rise high," many hands make light work). Could a folk rescue team be formed? In the summer of 2016, when Zhou Yunkang told his other swimming friends about this idea hidden in his heart, 48 big hands clasped together without hesitation. The Ankang City (安康市) Hanbin District (汉滨区) Han River Volunteer Lifesaving Association was established! Zhou Yunkang vacated a room in the hotel he ran as an office.
As agreed, the team members signed their names on the membership application form, and also signed a "life and death agreement": I am aware of the potential risks involved in the volunteer rescue operation itself when I sign up, and I am willing to bear all responsibilities myself. Behind the words are hot hearts. They made a sonorous oath on the riverbank: "Volunteer rescue, no money taken." We cannot let a life disappear before our eyes!
In the years that have gone by with the river water, Zhou Yunkang and his teammates are like cormorants on the river, always able to keenly capture cries for help.
One day in March of this year, at more than 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yunkang was washing up when the phone rang suddenly. "Where did you fall into the water, send me the location..." He hung up the phone in a hurry and quickly mobilized the team members who were patrolling the river. Soon, a fresh life was saved.
Because he was afraid of missing the golden time for rescue, Zhou Yunkang posted his phone number in a prominent position on the riverbank. This string of phone numbers has become a hope worth entrusting in times of crisis.
Today, more and more love is pouring in. By this spring, the team has gathered 169 people. They have used 10 years to lift 135 lives from the river.
Not heroes, but they choose to stand up when they are most needed. Their persistence, like the water of the Han River flowing quietly, has a power that shakes people's hearts.
The best rescue is to prevent tragedy from happening again. A few years ago, Zhou Yunkang and his teammates reached a consensus - to go to the crowd to preach, and turn the principles of life first and safety first into straightforward and easy-to-understand words. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. Sitting by the river for a while may solve all the problems. For this reason, they appealed thousands of times.
They have also repeatedly received kindness and respect. In this team, 1 person won the "National Model of Bravery," 2 people won the "National Moral Model Nomination Award," 3 people were selected for the "China Good People List," and 9 people won provincial and municipal honorary titles. The sparkling waves of the Han River are engraved with the lifelines of those rescues...

This year marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army's Long March. The large-scale vocal suite "The Long March Suite," familiar and beloved by the people, is rehearsed and performed by many choirs. "The Long March Suite," with lyrics by General Xiao Hua (萧华) and music by Chen Geng (晨耕), Sheng Mao (生茂), Tang He (唐诃), and Yu Qiu (遇秋), recreates the hardships and heroic spirit of the Red Army during the Long March. Whenever the melody of "The red flag flutters, the bugle sounds. The soldiers of the people, bid farewell to their hometowns... The main force of the Red Army embarks on the Long March, a strategic shift to the distant land" rings out, both the performers and the audience are filled with passion and resonate with each other. This is the charm of a classic.
As a music enthusiast, I not only rehearse diligently in the choir but also watch performances of "The Long March Suite" by professional art troupes and amateur community choirs many times. Each viewing is an artistic enjoyment, and my soul is cleansed. However, some performances have left me with some regrets that I must express.
Some art troupes, for various reasons, have adopted "reduced singing" during their performances. Where is the "reduction"? Let me take a performance I watched live as an example. The troupe performing was excellent, and the conductor was also a famous conductor. Moreover, the program listed "Large-scale vocal suite 'The Long March Suite' complete version (10 songs)," which whetted the appetite of us "die-hard fans." However, at the beginning of the performance, the first song, "Farewell," was not announced, and even the recitation was canceled. The second song, "Breaking Through the Blockade Line," and the third song, "The Zunyi Conference (遵义会议) Shines Brightly," also lacked recitations. In particular, in the last song, "The Great Assembly," in the original work, there is a recitation accompanying the music: "The Long March is the first of its kind in historical records, the Long March is a manifesto, the Long March is a propaganda team..." These lines of recitation by Comrade Mao Zedong (毛泽东) summarizing the Long March were missing, but the orchestral melody of the accompaniment was still playing, and the audience seemed to feel that something was missing.
When that performance reached the seventh song, "Arriving at Wuqi Town (吴起镇)," the bamboo clappers of the female choir and the large clappers of several male voices were gone, which greatly damaged the original cheerful and lively mood of the music. In addition, the fact that a few people in the originally professional choir repeatedly looked down at the score also detracted from the performance.
Commemorating the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March and singing "The Long March Suite" is one of the activities deeply loved by the people. It is hoped that whether it is a professional art troupe or an amateur community choir, they can all have a sense of reverence for the red classic, respect the original work, and strive to avoid "reduced singing" and sing out the "soul" of the suite.
