Summary: Chinese courts intensified the special campaign against organized crime, with the Supreme People's Court stressing legal crackdowns on criminal groups using online platforms and "soft violence" for illegal lending and debt collection. Courts in Tianjin publicly sentenced multiple cases, including a car-rental extortion gang, a "loan trap" network fraud ring, and a traditional extortion group, sending a strong deterrent message. Officials urged the public to report leads via the national 12337 platform while courts maintain high-pressure strikes against hidden and evolving underworld crimes.
Summary: China's Supreme People's Court recently released typical cases to regulate platform operations and protect consumer rights, addressing issues like live-streaming e-commerce and virtual property disputes. The courts clarified that platforms with merchant data must bear joint liability when merchants evade refunds, and live-streamers must honor their after-sales promises. Judicial rulings also established that sellers in virtual property account transfers must disclose material information affecting account value and usability. These efforts aim to delineate responsibility boundaries, curb unfair competition, and fill regulatory gaps in new digital transactions. The article emphasizes that judicial intervention complements administrative oversight, fostering a predictable legal environment for platform economy growth.
Summary: A Chinese court ruled that a livestream host's remarks comparing a baijiu brand unfavorably constituted commercial defamation. The host had implied the brand's product was not pure grain due to missing "baijiu" labeling, but the court found this selectively presented information and misleading associations. The court held that livestream selling is commercial conduct, requiring higher duty of care than ordinary consumer speech, and "improvisation" is no defense. It clarified that misleading information, even with some factual basis, can be illegal if it distorts public perception of a competitor's product quality. The ruling establishes legal boundaries for commercial commentary in livestream commerce.

After the welcoming ceremony, the two heads of state held talks.
Xi Jinping pointed out that in 1956, Egypt took the lead among Arab and African countries in establishing diplomatic relations with New China. The elder-generation leaders of the two countries led the peoples of the two countries in fighting side by side on the road of pursuing national independence and opposing imperialism and colonialism, tempering an unbreakable and profound friendship. Over 70 years of going through many hardships (风雨兼程, feng yu jian cheng - "wind, rain, endure, journey"), the two countries have cultivated and witnessed the distinctive features of China-Egypt relations, namely "equality and mutual trust, friendship and mutual learning, working together in facing difficulties (和衷共济, he zhong gong ji - "harmonious, heart, together, cross"), and win-win cooperation (合作共赢, he zuo gong ying - "cooperate, together, win, benefit"). In recent years, under our joint guidance, the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership has achieved leapfrog development. The two sides share common visions and strategic alignment in the cause of achieving development and revitalization, improving people's welfare, and upholding international fairness and justice. Facing the intertwined and volatile international and regional situation, the two countries should support each other, deepen cooperation, and continuously advance the building of the China-Egypt community with a shared future (中埃命运共同体, zhong ai ming yun gong tong ti - "China, Egypt, destiny, community").
Xi Jinping emphasized that China and Egypt should, first, firmly support each other, maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges, closely conduct exchanges and cooperation across all fields and at all levels, and strengthen exchanges of governance experience. Second, they should advance mutually beneficial cooperation, strengthen the alignment of development strategies, unleash the cooperation potential in traditional fields such as infrastructure construction, electric power, agriculture, and communications technology, and create new highlights of cooperation in green energy, electric vehicles, aerospace, digital economy, and modern agricultural technology. Third, they should promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges, expand exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, science and technology, health, sports, and other fields in an all-round way, increase personnel exchanges, and enhance mutual understanding between the peoples. Fourth, they should strengthen security cooperation, jointly combat transnational crime, deepen international cooperation against corruption, firmly support each other's counterterrorism efforts, and safeguard the common security of the two countries. Fifth, they should strengthen international multilateral coordination, further close coordination and cooperation in multilateral platforms such as the United Nations and BRICS, jointly advance the building of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, jointly oppose unilateralism and hegemonic bullying practices, and promote the building of a more just and equitable global governance system.
Sisi stated that he warmly welcomed President Xi Jinping's historic state visit to Egypt on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Since the establishment of Egypt-China diplomatic relations, bilateral relations have maintained sound and stable development, and cooperation in various fields has achieved fruitful results. Egypt firmly adheres to the one-China principle (一个中国原则, yi ge zhong guo yuan ze -"one, China, principle"),and is committed to achieving greater development of the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership. Egypt is willing to work with China to closely cooperate in fields such as trade and investment, manufacturing, infrastructure construction, finance, science and technology, and new energy, strengthen military and security exchanges, closely facilitate personnel exchanges, benefit the peoples of the two countries, and contribute to regional development and prosperity. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China plays an important and constructive role in international affairs, and Egypt is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with China on multilateral platforms, jointly respond to global challenges, and jointly uphold international fairness and justice.
The two heads of state conducted in-depth exchanges on the situation in the Middle East. Xi Jinping pointed out that China supports regional countries in developing good-neighborly and friendly relations, upholds a common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept, and builds a new security architecture for the Middle East. Xi Jinping put forward a four-point initiative in this regard: First, stimulate the internal driving force for common security in the region. Uphold that the people of the Middle East region should be masters of their own affairs, oppose interference by external forces, support regional countries in strengthening peace and security dialogues, explore the reshaping of regional security architecture, and independently grasp their own destiny. Second, advance comprehensive governance for common security in the region. The Middle East has many hotspot issues with strong internal interconnections, and comprehensive solutions should be sought. The Palestinian question remains the core of the Middle East issue and should never be ignored or marginalized at any time. Third, consolidate the development foundation for common security in the region. Achieving lasting peace and stability in the Middle East fundamentally depends on development. China is willing to work with countries in the region to safeguard the security of international shipping lanes, advance development cooperation, promote the integration of interests of regional countries, gradually enhance mutual trust, and eliminate the soil that breeds conflict. Fourth, strengthen international coordination for common security in the region. The UN Charter and international law are the basic guidelines for handling Middle East affairs. The international community, especially major countries outside the region, should abandon double standards, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of regional countries, and safeguard regional security and stability. Support should be given to the United Nations in effectively playing its role in regional affairs.
Sisi stated that Egypt highly appreciates China's consistent objective and fair position on the Middle East question. Egypt is committed to promoting de-escalation of the regional situation, resolving conflicts through political means, and achieving regional security and development. Egypt is willing to continue strengthening coordination with China to ease the situation in the Middle East, safeguard stability in the Middle East, and explore regional security architecture.

In 1956,Egypt became the first Arab and African country to establish diplomatic relations with New China,opening a new page in Arab-Chinese and Africa-Chinese friendly exchanges.Over the past 70 years,no matter how the international situation has changed,the two countries have always respected each other,treated each other as equals,trusted each other,and helped each other in times of need (守望相助, shou wang xiang zhu - "guard watch, mutually help").In 2014,President Sisi visited China,and the two sides jointly decided to elevate Egypt-China relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership,achieving a historic leap;in 2016,President Xi Jinping visited Egypt,and the two heads of state reached broad consensus,pushing Egypt-China relations to a new height;in 2024,Egypt and China issued a joint statement,and Egypt became the first Arab country to write the goal of building a community with a shared future into a joint statement on bilateral relations.China has always viewed and advanced its relations with Egypt from a strategic height,continuously consolidating the foundation of strategic mutual trust between the two countries.
Solid political mutual trust is the fundamental basis for the steady and long-term progress of the Egypt-China comprehensive strategic partnership.Egypt and China adhere to the basic norms of international relations of sovereign equality and non-interference in internal affairs,and firmly support each other on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns.Egypt has long firmly adhered to the One-China principle;China firmly supports Egypt in safeguarding national sovereignty,security,and development interests,supports Egypt's independent choice of a development path suited to its national conditions,and opposes external forces interfering in Egypt's internal affairs.Facing regional hotspot issues such as Palestine,the two countries hold similar positions,jointly calling for respect for international law and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of regional people.The two sides strengthen coordination on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations,the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum,the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation,BRICS,and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,jointly participating in the reform of the global governance system,safeguarding the common rights and interests of developing countries,and contributing to peace and stability in the Middle East.
Practical cooperation under the framework of high-quality Belt and Road Initiative (一带一路, yi dai yi lu - "one belt, one road")construction continues to release the momentum of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation between Egypt and China.Represented by the Central Business District of the New Administrative Capital,a number of benchmark projects have taken root,helping Egypt advance its modernization drive.Relying on the platform of the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone,cooperation between the two sides is achieving connotative upgrading,expanding from traditional infrastructure construction and goods trade more rapidly toward higher value-added fields such as advanced manufacturing,green energy,and modern logistics,taking industrial localization and technology transfer as priority directions for cooperation,helping Egypt implement its "Vision 2030,"expanding local employment,and opening up channels for export,while also building an important fulcrum for Chinese enterprises to connect with Asian,African,and European markets.
Energy and economic-trade cooperation continues to deepen and solidify,consolidating the material foundation for the common development of the two countries.Egypt is accelerating its energy structure transformation,vigorously laying out renewable energy and green hydrogen industries.China leverages its advantages in the complete industrial chain of new energy,deepening practical cooperation with Egypt in fields such as photovoltaics,wind power,energy storage,and green hydrogen,promoting the extension of project cooperation toward industrial chain synergy,and helping Egypt take a solid path of green and low-carbon development.China has maintained its position asthe largest trading partner of Egypt for 14 consecutive years,and the two sides continue to optimize trade structures,expand production capacity docking and joint production,tap new space for trade growth,and promote bilateral trade toward more balanced development.
Scientific and technological innovation and people-to-people and cultural exchanges inject a continuous source of endogenous impetus into Egypt-China relations.China's practical experience accumulated in fields such as artificial intelligence,smart cities,and space applications highly matches Egypt's practical needs in digital transformation and developing a knowledge economy,and the two sides continue to advance practical collaboration in joint scientific research,talent cultivation,and technology transfer.As both are world-renowned ancient civilizations,Egypt-China people-to-people and cultural exchanges have a long history.Chinese language education,inter-school exchanges,cultural heritage protection,and tourism cooperation continue to expand,continuously narrowing the distance between the hearts of the two peoples,and consolidating the public opinion foundation of bilateral relations.Standing at this important historical juncture of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations,the connotation of Egypt-China cooperation continues to enrich and its space continues to expand.Implementing the series of consensuses reached by the two heads of state,continuously deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership,and solidly advancing the building of an Egypt-China community with a shared future for the new era,will not only benefit the two peoples,but will also surely contribute more strength to regional common prosperity and world peace and development.

Return to TopStanding at the new starting point of the 25th anniversary, the Chinese side will, together with all parties, continue to hold high the banner of the "Shanghai spirit," implement the SCO development strategy for the next 10 years, strive to achieve higher-quality development, and make greater SCO contributions to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
On September 1, President Xi Jinping attended the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the "SCO Plus" meeting in Bishkek, and delivered an important speech, pointing the way forward for promoting the SCO to achieve higher-quality development, jointly advocating an equal and orderly multipolar world, and realizing more just and equitable global governance. Twenty-five years ago, in the face of the profound lessons of the Cold War, the realistic threat of the three forces of terrorism, separatism and extremism, and the eager expectations of the people of all countries for peace and development, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization came into being as the times required, and has increasingly demonstrated strong vitality. Over the past 25 years, the SCO has grown from 6 founding member states to the "SCO family" covering 27 countries across Asia, Europe, and Africa, step by step becoming a new type of regional cooperation organization with the widest territory, the largest population, and the greatest development potential in the world. The SCO creatively proposed and has always followed the "Shanghai spirit" of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations, and pursuit of common development, found the correct way of coexistence of non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting of any third party, promoted regional countries to join hands in building a common home, and successfully established a model for relations between major countries, between neighboring countries, and between large and small countries.
In today's world, major changes unseen in a century are accelerating, with fierce competition between dialogue and confrontation, win-win and zero-sum, multilateralism and unilateralism. Standing at the crossroads concerning the future and destiny of mankind, the SCO should bravely shoulder historical responsibilities and actively lead the course of history. During the Bishkek summit, President Xi Jinping, taking the future of mankind as the key concern, put forward four propositions: "Adhere to development first, create prospects for common prosperity," "Adhere to security as paramount, create an environment of universal security," "Adhere to people-centered approach, cultivate deep roots of friendship between generations," and "Adhere to dialogue and consultation, improve fair and orderly governance." These four propositions, based on the changes of the times and conforming to the trend of history, provide fundamental guidance for the SCO to unite hearts and minds, deepen cooperation, and achieve steady and long-term progress under the new circumstances.
In recent years, the Global South has grown remarkably, promoting profound adjustments in the international balance of power, and the trend toward a multipolar world is irreversible. At the "SCO Plus" meeting, President Xi Jinping emphasized that China, as a responsible major country, actively advocates an equal and orderly multipolar world, where sovereign equality and mutual respect are fundamental principles, balanced, orderly, and rule-of-law compliance are inevitable requirements, multilateralism, dialogue, and consultation are key paths, and mutual benefit, win-win, inclusiveness, and shared benefit are the direction of development. Regarding how to enable a more united and more vibrant SCO to contribute greater strength to advancing an equal and orderly multipolar world, President Xi Jinping put forward three suggestions: "Drive the prosperity and common development of the Eurasian continent with 'SCO strength,'" "Promote the growth and strengthening of the Global South with 'SCO wisdom,'" and "Lead the reform and improvement of global governance with 'SCO action,'" injecting strong positive energy into SCO member states and partners to grasp the historical trend, shoulder the responsibilities of the times, and promote the realization of more just and equitable global governance
As a founding member state, China has always been an important force in promoting the development and growth of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In the next three years, the Chinese side will jointly implement 100 science and technology cooperation projects with SCO countries; support the early launch of the SCO's "four security centers" to enhance the ability of member states to respond to security threats and challenges; will establish the China-SCO Basic Education Cooperation Center, and is willing to continue building bridges for exchange, mutual learning, and people-to-people connectivity through projects such as Confucius Institutes and Luban Workshops; support the SCO in carrying out demonstration cooperation on practicing the Global Governance Initiative, propose to continue improving the SCO's operating mechanisms, and enhance decision-making and implementation efficiency... All parties highly recognize China's important contributions to promoting the development of the organization, agree to actively implement the strategic blueprint of the 2025 Tianjin Summit, continue to carry forward the "Shanghai spirit," improve mechanism building, enhance political mutual trust, deepen cooperation in trade, investment, science and technology, energy, finance, industrial and supply chains, connectivity, and other fields, enhance people-to-people connectivity, jointly respond to new types of security challenges, and write a new chapter of lasting peace and common development
Remaining true to original aspiration and working diligently despite distance; unswerving commitment to achieve goals despite hardships. Standing at the new starting point of the 25th anniversary, the Chinese side will, together with all parties, continue to hold high the banner of the "Shanghai spirit," implement the SCO development strategy for the next 10 years, strive to achieve higher-quality development, and make greater SCO contributions to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

"President Xi Jinping's visit to Egypt, the first in 10 years, is a major event in the development of Egypt-China relations," Egyptian China expert Sawy told this reporter in Cairo. "This visit both looks back on the achievements of Egypt-China cooperation over the past 10 years and injects new momentum into the future development of bilateral relations."
In Sawy's view, "10 years" is an important temporal coordinate for understanding this visit. In 2014, the two heads of state jointly decided to elevate China-Egypt relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership. In January 2016, President Xi Jinping made a state visit to Egypt, and the two sides issued a five-year implementation outline on strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership. Over the past 10 years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, the two countries have continuously deepened political mutual trust, achieved fruitful results in cooperation across various fields, witnessed increasingly frequent people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and maintained close and effective multilateral coordination. The China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership has achieved leapfrog development and entered its best period in history.
Over the past 10 years, projects such as the Central Business District of Egypt's New Administrative Capital and the light rail transit of the Tenth of Ramadan City have turned from blueprints into reality, the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone has continued to develop, more and more Chinese enterprises have come to Egypt to invest and do business, and cooperation between the two sides has extended from infrastructure construction to new energy, digital economy, and other fields. "Chinese enterprises have participated in the construction of many important Egyptian projects. The cooperation between the two countries is not an abstract concept, but rather changes that are visible and tangible in the daily lives of the Egyptian people," Sawy said.
This visit coincides with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of China-Egypt diplomatic relations, carrying both the profound traditional friendship and the shared expectations of the two countries for the future. "President Xi Jinping's visit has the special significance of linking the past with the future (承前启后, cheng qian qi hou - "carry forward the past, open up the future") and carrying on a tradition and paving the way for the future (继往开来, ji wang kai lai - "continue the past, open the future")," Sawy said. Egypt has a unique geographical advantage connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe, while China has a complete industrial chain and strong manufacturing capacity; the two sides can complement each other's strengths (优势互补, you shi hu bu - "advantage, mutually, complement") and deepen cooperation in fields such as industrial investment, green energy, digital economy, and modern agriculture, so that more fruits of cooperation can benefit the peoples of both countries.
The Yangtze River and the Yellow River have nurtured Chinese civilization, while the Nile has nourished ancient Egyptian civilization. Today, these two ancient civilizations, separated by ten thousand miles, are closely connected through exchanges in education, culture, archaeology, tourism, youth, and other fields. "Egypt-China relations have a very unique advantage, namely the mutual appreciation and mutual attraction between the two ancient civilizations," Sawy said. The two countries have continuously expanded people-to-people and cultural exchanges, making mutual understanding a solid foundation for Egypt-China friendship
China and Egypt are both countries of the Global South (全球南方, quan qiu nan fang - "global, south"), sharing broad common interests in safeguarding multilateralism, promoting peaceful development, advancing the improvement of global governance, and other areas. Sawy said: "The two countries strengthening practical cooperation and closely coordinating on international and regional affairs not only benefits their own development, but can also contribute to Arab-China, Africa-China, and Global South cooperation."
In his view, standing at a new starting point, Egypt and China should cherish the political mutual trust accumulated over the past 70 years and transform the traditional friendship into more future-oriented cooperation. "President Xi Jinping's visit promotes the two countries to further deepen political mutual trust, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and jointly advance their respective modernization processes."

Sheraldi Baktygulov, Director of the Kyrgyzstan Institute of World Politics, said that the two heads of state jointly signed the Treaty on Permanent Good-Neighborliness, Friendship,and Cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and China this time, which is the second bilateral permanent treaty of good-neighborliness, friendship,and cooperation signed between China and a Central Asian country, fully reflecting the high level and high quality of the development of bilateral relations. Emilbek Kaptagaev, a Kyrgyzstan social activist, once participated in the translation work of the Kyrgyz-language edition of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China." "President Xi Jinping's this visit will further deepen the docking of development strategies between the two countries and the exchange of governance experiences, injecting new impetus into promoting the sustained development of China-Kyrgyzstan relations at a higher level." He said that China's governance experience has provided useful reference for Kyrgyzstan's exploration of a development path suited to its own national conditions,and helps both sides further consolidate political mutual trust and good-neighborliness, friendship.
"President Xi Jinping's sentiment of 'I will have no self,and live up to the people' is admirable." Sofia Apaeva, Dean of the Kyrgyz-Chinese Institute at Kyrgyz National University, said that in recent years, China-Kyrgyzstan relations have achieved leapfrog development, with fruitful results in cooperation across various fields, effectively benefiting the people of both countries,and promoting regional peace, stability,and prosperity.
"Through closer Kyrgyz-Chinese cooperation, Kyrgyzstan will usher in new development opportunities"
China and Kyrgyzstan have complementary economic advantages and huge cooperation potential. China and Kyrgyzstan, taking high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (一带一路, yi dai yi lu - "one belt, one road") as the main line, are promoting the continuous improvement and upgrading of practical cooperation. Strengthening practical cooperation between the two sides in fields such as trade, investment, innovation,and development will promote the comprehensive, high-quality development of China-Kyrgyzstan relations, promote the common prosperity of the two countries,and enhance the well-being of the people. "During President Xi Jinping's visit, the two sides signed multiple cooperation documents, with very rich results, which is impressive." Aibologat Aidosov, a Kyrgyzstan sinologist, noted that the customs authorities of both sides proposed establishing a Kyrgyz-Chinese port management cooperation committee, jointly improving port inspection efficiency and work coordination,and ensuring the smooth operation of Kyrgyz-Chinese border ports. "This will create favorable conditions for trade growth between the two countries and the region,and enhance bilateral connectivity."
"I am very concerned about the cooperation results in the field of renewable energy. The expansion of cooperation between the two sides in the field of clean energy is of great significance for Kyrgyzstan's improvement of the environment and achievement of sustainable development."

"Through closer Kyrgyz-Chinese cooperation, Kyrgyzstan will usher in new development opportunities."
"President Xi Jinping attaches great importance to and cares about the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, pointing out that it is necessary to build well, with high quality, this 'major transportation artery' carrying the development hopes of the people of the region. This has greatly inspired the project builders." Kulov Ulan Temirbekovich, Deputy General Manager of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway Co., Ltd., said that at present, the project is at a critical stage of comprehensive advancement,and builders from all sides will advance project construction with high standards and strict requirements, striving for early completion and opening to traffic. Gulzat Isamatova, Minister of Science, Higher Education,and Innovation of Kyrgyzstan, said that President Xi Jinping's this visit has further promoted practical cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and China in fields such as science, innovation,and higher education.

"Play a more active role in safeguarding regional peace and stability and responding to global challenges"
China and Kyrgyzstan should expand law enforcement and security cooperation, jointly combat the three forces (三股势力, san gu shi li - "three, types of, forces") of terrorism, extremism,and separatism, drug trafficking,and transnational crime,and jointly safeguard regional peace and stability. China supports Kyrgyzstan in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs,and is willing to further strengthen coordination with Kyrgyzstan within the framework of the United Nations, jointly practice the four global initiatives (四大全球倡议, si da quan qiu chang yi - "four, large, global, initiatives"), oppose hegemonism and power politics, adhere to true multilateralism, safeguard international fairness and justice,and promote the building of a more just and reasonable global governance system. "In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, security cooperation between the two countries has continued to deepen, political mutual trust has increasingly strengthened,and the two sides have firmly supported each other within multilateral frameworks such as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,and the China-Central Asia Summit."

On the shore of the Red Sea in the Egyptian city of Ain Sokhna, inside the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone, tall and spacious workshops and factory buildings stand in close succession, with rows of date palm trees lush with greenery. "It is hard to imagine that more than a decade ago, this place was still a barren desert." Nahla Emad, CEO of Egypt TEDA Special Economic Zone Development Company, said that, under the strategic guidance of the leaders of Egypt and China and with the support of the two governments, the cooperation zone has developed into an important platform for bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
"The cooperation zone has become more dynamic"
More than 200 resident enterprises, an attracted investment amount exceeding 4.7 billion US dollars, sales exceeding 7.3 billion US dollars... A set of data displayed in the building of the Cooperation Zone Investment Service Center tells of the development achievements the zone has accumulated over the years. In the mid-1990s, Egypt, impressed by the rapid development of China's development zones, hoped that China would help Egypt build development zones. In 1998, the State Council determined that the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area would undertake this project. Since 2008, China-Africa TEDA Investment Co., Ltd., jointly established by Tianjin TEDA Investment Holding Co., Ltd. and the China-Africa Development Fund, has led the construction of the cooperation zone.
In January 2016, during his visit to Egypt, President Xi Jinping, together with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, jointly unveiled the second phase of the cooperation zone, and from then on, this hot land of industry pressed the "acceleration button" of development.
"More than 10 years have passed, and the cooperation zone has become more dynamic. From the initial two or three enterprises to today's industrial agglomeration, the development of the cooperation zone makes me feel deeply proud." Emad said that China's industrial park development concepts and practical experience have provided useful reference for Egypt's advancement of industrialization, "and this is precisely a vivid manifestation of the continuous deepening of Egypt-China relations and the high mutual trust and cooperation between the two governments."
"The industrial agglomeration effect of the zone has been continuously emerging, and it has become an important industrial cooperation platform for Egypt." Cao Hui, Executive Director of Egypt TEDA Special Economic Zone Development Company, introduced that at present, the zone has formed an industrial system of "1+8", with bonded logistics as the mainstay, covering new building materials, petroleum equipment, high-and-low-voltage equipment, machinery manufacturing, textiles, chemicals, new energy, white goods, and other fields. "In 2024, we received more than 300 business inspection delegations; in 2025, this figure rose to more than 500. Since the beginning of this year, telephone calls and letters inquiring, appointment inspections, and communication on cooperation intentions have been even more continuous and unending." Weina, Management Director of Egypt TEDA Special Economic Zone Development Company, said, "From regional enterprises to multinational corporations, the cooperation zone is gaining increasingly broad attention."
The cooperation zone has continuously expanded its development space, optimized its industrial layout, and enhanced its service capacity. Cao Hui introducedthat the 2.86 square kilometers of land in the extension area have entered the development stage, and the zone will focus on laying out industries such as new energy, new materials, automobiles and auto parts, and fine chemicals, while advancing digitalization and low-carbon construction, to provide more complete supporting services for enterprise development.
"I want to pass on this skill"
In the constant-temperature and constant-humidity production workshop, pure white fiberglass yarn shuttles at high speed among winding machines, being precisely wound, while local workers, assisted by mechanical arms, complete product packaging and handling; in the central control room, staff members gently click the mouse, and production processes such as kiln combustion and raw material feeding are crystal clear (一目了然, yi mu le ran - "one eye, clearly understood") on the screen, with real-time images from inside the kiln clearly displayed on the monitor... With the help of automation and intelligent technology, the per-capita production efficiency of the factory of Jushi Egypt Fiberglass Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jushi Egypt") exceeds the industry average level. Jushi Egypt is one of the earlier enterprises to settle in the cooperation zone, having introduced a complete set of fiberglass production technology with independent intellectual property rights into Egypt, making Egypt, once not a fiberglass-producing country, the world's fourth-largest fiberglass producer. The enterprise has also driven the development of local upstream and downstream industries — mineral raw materials and packaging materials — and at present, 95% of the enterprise's raw materials are procured in Egypt.
"Our employee localization rate exceeds 98%, and the localization rate among middle-level staff is 76%, making us one of the Chinese enterprises in Egypt with the highest proportion of localized employees." Ahmed Suleiman, Deputy General Manager of Jushi Egypt, saidthat he joined Jushi Egypt in 2012, initially as an ordinary process technician in the winding workshop, and through step-by-step study of professional skills, grew into a backbone of the workshop. "I am grateful for the cultivation of the Chinese enterprise, and for my Chinese colleagues' selfless teaching of knowledge to me." Suleiman said.
At China XD Group's jointly invested enterprise with the Egyptian side, XD-EGEMAC High Voltage Electrical Co., Ltd., Egyptian employees account for as much as 97% or more, and over the years, it has delivered quite a few electrical engineering talents to Egyptian society, with Mostafa Mohamed being one of them. In 2020, Mohamed joined the transformer assembly workshop as an ordinary skilled worker, and at that time, he could hardly even understand assembly drawings. "My Chinese master drew schematic diagrams for me by hand, explaining to me procedure by procedure." He saidthat during that period, he spent his days immersed in hands-on training in the workshop, and at night, he went home and pored over technical manuals. After four or five years, Mohamed grew into a technical backbone of the workshop, and even independently led a team to complete the on-site installation and commissioning of a large substation project undertaken by the company. Mohamed said: "At the moment when the equipment was successfully energized, my Chinese master was even more excited than I was — the apprentice had finally become able to handle affairs independently (独当一面, du dang yi mian - "alone, handle one side")."
Today, Mohamed has become the supervisor of the transformer workshop, managing more than a dozen local workers, and has also taken on two apprentices of his own. "I want to pass on this skill, so that more Egyptian young people can change their destinies with their own hands." He said.
"It has enhanced Egypt's industrial capability"
"My Chinese name is Xiao Hai, and when I was in university, I studied Chinese seriously. My Chinese colleagues are not only serious about their work, but they are also all very kind and friendly. For every question I do not understand, they will carefully explain it to me, so I have improved very quickly!" Xiao Hai, a local technician at Xinxing Ductile Iron Pipes (Egypt) Co., Ltd., saidthat his growth story moves in sync with the rapid development of this young enterprise in the cooperation zone. The Egypt Xinxing ductile iron pipe project covers an area of 270,500 square meters, with an annual output of 250,000 tons of ductile iron pipes. Wang Jinlong, Director of Xinxing Ductile Iron Pipes(Egypt) Co., Ltd., introducedthat the project was signed in March 2024, had its foundation laid in April, and officially commenced production in May 2025, taking only a little more than a year from contract signing to production launch. After the project went into production, its products quickly opened up the market, and the enterprise has successively established export cooperation relationships with enterprises in countries such as Kuwait, Iraq, Tunisia, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.
An editorial comment in the Egyptian Daily News pointed outthat the cooperation zone, located at the junction of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, is an ideal production base facing the markets of the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, "and the launch of production of the Egypt Xinxing ductile iron pipe project has not only enhanced Egypt's industrial capability, but has also further strengthened Egypt's position as a regional trade center."
The landing and development of the fiberglass industry has enabled Egypt to possess the largest-scale fiberglass production base on the African continent; the first high-voltage power transmission and transformation equipment factory has risen from the ground, enabling key equipment to achieve localized manufacturing for the first time;the first intelligent dishwasher production line has been successfully put into operation, bringing "Made in Egypt" smart home appliances to the market... In the cooperation zone, enterprise after enterprise has taken root, grown, and strengthened, not only injecting vigorous vitality into the zone, but also driving the continuous extension of Egypt's local industrial chain and the continuous leap of its manufacturing capability.

In the industrial zone of Tenth of Ramadan City, east of Cairo, the local government has named one road "Qingdao Road," and the road intersecting it has been named "Haier Road." Why would roads in Egypt be named after a Chinese city anda Chinese enterprise? The answer lies in the Haier Egypt Eco-Park, located adjacent to these two roads. Entering the eco-park, the reporter saw intelligent production lines operating in an orderly manner, with robotic arms working in coordination with workers, as air conditioners, washing machines, televisions, and other products developed for the Egyptian market continuously rolled off the lines. Haier's landing in Egypt has brought not only manufacturing projects, but also advanced technology, modern management models, created job opportunities, and built a platform for the growth of the industrial chain. Road names may seem like tiny markers on a city map, yet they genuinely reflect Egyptian society's high recognition of Egypt-China practical cooperation. In recent days, the China-Egypt joint interview team for high-quality Belt and Road Initiative media cooperation has visited multiple landmark China-Egypt cooperation projects. Chinese investment, technology, products, and management experience are becoming deeply embedded in, and are assisting, Egypt's industrialization, urbanization, and modernization process. China-Egypt cooperation is helping Egypt supplement, strengthen, and extend its industrial chains, continuously enhancing its local manufacturing capacity and export competitiveness. In the Central Business District of Egypt's New Administrative Capital, ascending the 385.8-meter-high Iconic Tower for a distant view, one sees that atop the former desert, a cluster of modern buildings has risen abruptly from the ground (拔地而起, ba di er qi - "pull from ground and rise"). This "tallest building in Africa," built jointly by Chinese and Egyptian builders, is a vivid epitome of the precise alignment between China's construction strength and Egypt's development plan. More importantly, during the construction process, Chinese and Egyptian builders jointly tackled multiple technical difficulties, helping local technical personnel accumulate core experience in super-high-rise construction and project management. The project has not only created tens of thousands of job opportunities, but has also cultivated a large number of professional talents in the construction industry for the local area. Egyptian China expert Drabeek believes that the value of Egypt-China cooperation goes far beyond completing a landmark building; it lies more in the precious talent, technology, and development experience accumulated and precipitated during the cooperation process.
What has been completely transformed is not only the cityscape, but also Egypt's industrial foundation. Chinese manufacturing has become deeply integrated into Egypt's industrial system, and through technology transfer and supply chain co-building, is driving local industries to achieve a high-level localized transformation. The laser fusion welding technology and industrial robot equipment introduced by the Geely Automobile Egypt plant have enabled local workers to skillfully master cutting-edge automated manufacturing processes; at the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone on the shore of the Red Sea, Jushi Egypt has not only filled the local gap in Egypt's fiberglass industry, but has also directly propelled Egypt to leap into becoming the world's fourth-largest fiberglass producer. Local Egyptian enterprises, relying on the supporting orders brought by cooperation, are continuously expanding production capacity, iterating technology, and broadening export channels. Shurat, a reporter from Egypt's Middle East News Agency, remarked with emotion that Chinese enterprises have brought advanced equipment and processes, mature modern management systems, anda complete logistics system; the cooperation between the two sides complements each other and enhances each other's excellence (相得益彰, xiang de yi zhang - "mutually complement each other"), making it a vivid model of win-win cooperation (互利共赢, hu li gong ying - "mutual benefit and win-win").
China's innovative technology is empowering Egypt's economic development. In the Haier Egypt Eco-Park, the digital twin management platform makes the entire production line smarter and more efficient. The "Made in Egypt" products from the eco-park not only fully meet local market demand, but also radiate to overseas markets in West Asia, North Africa, East and Southern Africa, helping Egypt steadily expand its export scale and foreign exchange earnings. Modernization has never been the exclusive right of a few countries. The experience, technology, and industrial advantages that China has accumulated during its own development process are being transformed, through open cooperation, into development opportunities for developing countries, including Egypt. "Qingdao Road" and"Haier Road" are not merely coordinates in geographic space; they are vivid testimony that, in Egypt's modernization process, China and Egypt have joined hands to take root and flourish (落地生根, luo di sheng gen - "land on ground and grow roots") their development vision. China-Egypt cooperation fully proves that what China brings is not a "China Shock 2.0," but rather a "China Opportunity 2.0"; not the squeezing out or replacement of local industries, but rather industrial blood-making and development empowerment for Global South countries. China is bringing to countries around the world more development opportunities, broader development space, and stronger development momentum.
Return to TopChina will continue to stand firmly on the correct side of history, stand on the side of human civilization and progress, adhere to the path of peaceful development, join hands with all countries to build a community with a shared future for mankind (人类命运共同体, ren lei ming yun gong tong ti - "humanity shared-destiny community"), and jointly create an even better future for humanity.
September 3 is the Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War Victory Day. This day is a monument of victory, an echo of history, and a beacon of peace. On September 2, 1945, under the gaze of representatives from nine countries including China that received the surrender, Japanese representatives signed the instrument of surrender. The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began earliest and lasted longest among all belligerents; after 14 years of fighting a bloody and hard-fought battle (浴血奋战, yu xue fen zhan -"bathe in blood, struggle bravely"),and paying the enormous national sacrifice of over 35 million casualties, China thoroughly defeated the Japanese militarist aggressors, propped up the Eastern Main Battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War,and made major contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. On September 3, 2025, China held a grand military parade ceremony, solemnly commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, sending forth to the world a powerful call of the era for firmly safeguarding international fairness and justice, demonstrating the unshakable conviction of tirelessly striving to enhance the well-being of the people,and converging a surging force for jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind (人类命运共同体, ren lei ming yun gong tong ti -"humanity shared-destiny community"). The grand ceremony of the nation is majestic and mighty; the glory of victory will forever be recorded in the annals of history, clearly conveying the sincere aspiration of the Chinese people for peace and for all countries of the world to join hands and advance together.
Commemorating victory is not about perpetuating hatred, but about awakening and upholding the yearning of people of all countries for peace. History repeatedly makes it clear that the fate of humanity is to share the same fate (休戚与共, xiu qi yu gong -"joy and sorrow shared together"),and only when all countries and all nations treat each other as equals, coexist harmoniously, look out for and help one another (守望相助, shou wang xiang zhu -"watch over, help each other"),can they jointly safeguard common security, eliminate the roots of war,and prevent the tragedy of history from recurring. At present, the changes unseen in a century (百年变局, bai nian bian ju -"hundred years, great change")are accelerating their evolution,and human society has once again come to a crossroads. International conflicts and hotspot issues rise and fall one after another (此起彼伏, ci qi bi fu -"this rises, that falls");dialogue and confrontation, win-win and zero-sum, multilateralism and unilateralism are engaged in fierce rivalry;the world's longing for peace and stability has never been so strong. The more turbulent and transformative the times, the more necessary it is to anchor onto the correct path of history, defend the fruits of victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the postwar international order, uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, practice genuine multilateralism,and jointly protect the hard-won peaceful situation.
Commemorating victory is for the purpose of carrying forward the common values of all mankind (全人类共同价值, quan ren lei gong tong jia zhi -"all humanity, common, value"),jointly and firmly safeguarding international fairness and justice,and letting the world be filled with righteous energy and bright and clear. The great victory of the World Anti-Fascist War laid a solid cornerstone for the construction of the postwar international order;upholding the fruits of victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the postwar international order is the fundamental prerequisite for peace in Asia and even peace in the world. At present, right-wing forces in Japan have always refused to comprehensively face up to and acknowledge the history of aggression in World War II;their various acts of accelerating military unshackling, deliberately downplaying and covering up the crimes of their history of aggression,are increasingly arousing high vigilance and deep concern among Asian neighbors and the international community. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trial. As an important component of the postwar international order, the Tokyo Trial, together with international legal documents such as the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation,and the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, constitutes the legal foundation of the postwar Asia-Pacific order;its justice and authority admit of no doubt and no challenge. Only by earnestly facing up to history, deeply reflecting on the crimes of aggression, thoroughly eradicating the poisonous remnants of militarism,and adhering to the path of peaceful development, can Japan truly gain the trust and acceptance of its Asian neighbors and the international community.
Bear history in mind, cherish the martyrs, treasure peace,and create the future. This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China,and is also the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan". Today's China is a China of peace and development, a China of openness and progress,and a China marching from great victories toward great rejuvenation. Chinese-style modernization (中国式现代化, zhong guo shi xiandai hua -"China style, modernization")is modernization that takes the path of peaceful development;China will forever be a force for peace, a force for stability,and a force for progress in the world. China will continue to stand firmly on the correct side of history, stand on the side of human civilization and progress, adhere to the path of peaceful development, join hands with all countries to build a community with a shared future for mankind (人类命运共同体, ren lei ming yun gong tong ti -"humanity shared-destiny community"),and jointly create an even better future for humanity.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Jinan, September 2) Xiao Jie, Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and President of the Chinese Association for International Understanding of Non-Governmental Organizations, met separately in Jinan from September 1 to 2 with Mongkhon, Vice President of the National Assembly of Thailand and Speaker of the Senate, Paoro, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of Vanuatu, and Gil, Third Deputy Speaker of the Congress of Deputies of Spain, who came to China to attend the Asia-Pacific Civil Society Conference. The two sides exchanged views on deepening bilateral friendly relations, promoting multi-level exchanges between legislative bodies, and strengthening cooperation between non-governmental organizations.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, September 2) (Reporter Cao Lingjuan) On September 1, the Shanghai Museum announced the results of the joint Sino-Egyptian archaeological excavation at the Sekhmet Temple site.
According to the introduction, the joint Sino-Egyptian archaeological team, composed of the Shanghai Museum and Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, achieved phased achievements (阶段性成果, jieduan xing chengguo - "stage, period, result") in the 2025–2026 season of archaeological excavation work at the Sekhmet Temple site, located south of Cairo, Egypt, discovering a number of important remains and artifacts, providing new physical materials for revealing the historical appearance of the region and human activities in different periods.
During the archaeological work, the joint archaeological team basically completed the clearing of the above-ground portion of the Sekhmet Temple, preliminarily revealing its horizontal layout and internal structure. The temple has a rectangular plan, with part of its southwest corner occupied by a modern building. The exterior walls of the temple are relatively well preserved, and both the wall foundations and the extant wall portions are made of limestone. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were found on some stone components, providing important clues for determining the nature of the temple.
Chen Jie, Chinese project leader of the joint archaeological excavation and deputy director of the Shanghai Museum, introduced that one important discovery of this excavation was the uncovering, in the area adjacent to the temple, of the remains of a residential district built of mudbrick, with the building foundations consisting of multiple groups of houses and courtyards.
In the excavation area east of the temple, the archaeological team also discovered a limestone structure, at the bottom of which grape seeds were found, leading to the preliminary judgment that the facility was once used for pressing grapes for wine-making.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Jinan, September 2) (Reporter Zhang Xinyi) On September 2, the Asia-Pacific Civil Society Conference, themed "Revisiting the original intention of cooperation, gathering the strength of the people, and jointly building an Asia-Pacific community," opened in Jinan, Shandong. The conference was co-hosted by the Chinese People's Association for International Exchanges (China NGO Network for International Exchanges) and the People's Government of Shandong Province. Xiao Jie, Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and President of the China NGO Network for International Exchanges, and Liu Haixing, Head of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, attended and delivered speeches. More than 300 participants attended the conference onsite, including political figures, experts and scholars, and enterprise representatives from 36 countries, heads of United Nations agencies, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations, as well as representatives of relevant domestic departments.
Xiao Jie stated that China is willing to work together with Asia-Pacific civil society, adhere to the original intention of cooperation, jointly practice the four global initiatives (四大全球倡议, si da quan qiu chang yi - "four, big, global, initiatives"), and contribute the wisdom and strength of the people to continuing the "Asia-Pacific miracle" and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind (人类命运共同体, ren lei ming yun gong ti - "humanity, destiny, shared, community"). Foreign guests present expressed that civil society is an important practitioner in the building of the Asia-Pacific community, and is willing to join hands with China to promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges and livelihood cooperation, jointly building a better home for Asia-Pacific.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Cairo, September 2) A people-to-people and cultural exchange event celebrating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Egypt, co-hosted by China Media Group and the Egyptian State Information Service, was held in Cairo on September 1. More than 100 guests, including figures from the political, economic, cultural, and media communities of both China and Egypt, attended the event.
On the same day, China Media Group and Egyptian National Television announced the launch of the co-produced documentary series "China-Egypt Cooperation at Full Speed." The CGTN documentary interview program "The Answer Lies in China" was also launched simultaneously. At the event, with the support of the China Film Administration, the "Silk Road Light and Shadow" film exhibition series (丝路光影, si lu guang ying - "Silk Road, light, shadow") of Chinese films in Egypt, hosted by China Media Group, was inaugurated. The program "China-Arab Friendship in Progress," co-produced by China Media Group and the Secretariat of the League of Arab States, was presented and promoted on site.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Gyirong, September 2) (Reporters Bian Minde, Lin Fan, Xu Yuyao) At 20:00 on September 2, the Information Office of the People's Government of the Tibet Autonomous Region held a press conference to brief the public on the emergency response work for the "8·26" debris flow disaster in Gyirong. As of 12:00 on September 2, the disaster had killed 21 people and left 541 missing, with 847 items of personal belongings discovered. At 10:00 on September 2, the damaged section of National Highway 216 leading to the core disaster area was successfully reopened. Over the past several days, all parties have cumulatively invested 1,333 person-times in reopening efforts and 658 machine-times of professional equipment. Rescue personnel, relief supplies, and some equipment have entered the core disaster area via overland routes. Since the disaster occurred, rescue personnel have, by advancing along three lines —"water, land, and air"—cumulatively invested 336 person-times and carried out multiple rounds of extensive, thorough search or investigation (拉网式, la wang shi - "pull, net, style") and all-encompassing, thorough search or investigation (地毯式, di tan shi - "carpet, style") searches in the core disaster area, with the cumulative search area reaching 1.591 million square meters. The debris flow deposits in the core disaster area have an average thickness of 4 meters, with a maximum of 16 meters, and their surface is covered with large amounts of boulders and mud. Rescue personnel are currently conducting searches by zone; on the one hand, building on the earlier shallow-layer searches, they are using professional instruments and equipment to carry out deep searches, making every effort to discover information about the deceased and missing; on the other hand, they are conducting focused searches of key areas such as the parking lot, the joint inspection building, and the dormitory building.
Meanwhile, rescue personnel are promptly transporting and identifying the remains of the deceased discovered, conscientiously handling the aftermath; and they are carefully examining, categorizing, and formally handing over the personal belongings discovered. Health risk assessments are being conducted for the search areas, and sanitation and epidemic prevention work is being carried out according to regulations. After the disaster occurred, local authorities promptly and proactively contacted and liaised with the family members of the deceased and missing. As of 12:00 on September 2, a total of 587 family members have been received and accommodated, involving family members of 253 domestic deceased and missing persons; four telephone lines providing consultation services to family members of domestic and foreign deceased and missing persons have received 876 calls from domestic and foreign family members (including 448 domestic calls and 428 foreign calls). At the same time, 70 professional personnel have been arranged to provide psychological counseling and comfort to family members of the deceased and missing for 1,107 person-times, and more than 1,220 cadres have been organized to provide service support. Because the Gyirong Port is located in a deeply incised valley zone of the Himalayan fault belt, with complex geological structures, and the disaster source areas are mostly distributed in high-altitude, high-position mountain bodies and hanging glacier zones, with some disaster sources located outside the country's borders, cross-border joint prevention and joint control is quite difficult. In response to these special conditions, local authorities will carry out an extensive, thorough, net-style survey of the entire river basin, establish a three-dimensional monitoring network, and enhance comprehensive emergency response capabilities. As of press time, more than 10 pieces of machinery and equipment have entered the core disaster area, and the fire rescue team, building on its original 24 commanders and fighters and 2 search dogs, has been reinforced with 65 additional commanders and fighters and more than 200 pieces of equipment, continuing to carry out search and rescue operations.

At around 2 a.m. on September 2, at the national gate area of the Gyirong Port, it was raining heavily (大雨如注, da yu ru zhu - "big rain, like pouring"), and the chill was biting. Standing on the platform atop the water tower in the hardest-hit core area and looking into the distance, machines roared and figures darted back and forth—
More than a dozen excavators and loaders were arrayed in orderly formation, their steel giant arms rising and falling in turns, precisely scooping material from the river water and then filling it toward the road surface. The lead machine probed the way, dredging, washing, and replacing fill, with follow-up reinforcement... At the repair site of National Highway 216, points of light flickered, strung together like a giant dragon constantly swiping its claws forward. "We've made it through!" At 4 a.m., Zhang Xiaojun, the night-shift lead excavator operator from China Anneng, shouted excitedly into his intercom. On one side, steep and dangerous cliffs with gravel rolling down; on the other, a surging river valley with the roar of water—he and his colleagues coordinated efficiently, all the way turning over debris and filling embankments, and after nearly 8 hours, completed the repair and reinforcement of the most difficult section of the entire route. This battle to reopen the road had no shortcuts—only step-by-step assaults on the hard points. In the night, this steel giant dragon pressed forward all the way, racing against time (争分夺秒, zheng fen duo miao - "struggle for minutes, snatch seconds") to push toward the national gate. At dawn, fire rescue personnel, public security officers, and immigration management police stationed in the disaster-hit core area poked their heads out of their tents one after another, watching the excavator's silhouette grow increasingly clear. Straightening their uniforms and picking up iron shovels, they stepped through mud that submerged their ankles, continuing to search for traces of life. At 8 a.m., the last 200 meters; at 9 a.m., the last 100 meters; at 10 a.m., as mud and rock obstacles were continuously cleared, a smooth and unobstructed road surface slowly extended forward, and the damaged section of National Highway 216 in the direction of the Gyirong Port was successfully reopened!
Above the port, the bright national flag fluttered in the wind. In the mud, olive green, fire-rescue orange, and navy blue were still searching with all their might, together converging in the gray mountain wilderness into the warmest and most steadfast colors.

September 2 Overcast, turning to rain
A little past 5 p.m., I was returning to Gyirong Town from the rescue frontline along National Highway 216 leading to the Gyirong Port. As I walked, I suddenly caught the aroma of food cooking — the fragrance of hot oil hitting a hot wok. Following the smell, I turned a corner, and on an open patch of land by the roadside, more than a dozen PLA soldiers and armed police soldiers were busy in high spirits and full of enthusiasm (热火朝天, re huo chao tian - "hot, fire, surge, sky"). A field cooking vehicle was parked to one side, and pots on the stove were bubbling away. I walked closer for a look: an armed police soldier was chopping vegetables, potatoes piled into a small mountain on the cutting board; another PLA soldier was squatting by a basin washing vegetables, water splashing across his face. More than an hour later, in the insulated food containers beside them, steam from the dishes and rice was curling out thread by thread through the gaps in the lids. Liu Yue, a lieutenant colonel of a certain unit of the Tibet Military District, said: "We just got things set up this afternoon. In the past few days the road was impassable, and the roadbed was narrow — the cooking vehicle simply could not get in. Today, after the road was rushed open, we received the order and came at once. The food ingredients were provided by the local government, and the site was put together by everyone working together — we just wanted to make a hot meal for the frontline rescue personnel."
Just as he was speaking, several drivers waiting to enter the disaster-hit core area walked over. Liu Yue promptly urged the soldiers to bring the boxed meals over. The driver took the meal box, lifted the lid, and a rush of heat "whooshed" up, dispersing into a puff of white mist in the cold, damp air. Someone let out a sigh of relief on the spot: "To still be able to eat a hot meal at a time like this — that's not easy." The soldier beside him handed over a bowl of hot soup. There was a young soldier standing nearby, watching the drivers eat. Asked whether he was hungry, he shook his head and said, "We'll eat once everyone has eaten well."
Li Feng, from the Shigatse Detachment of the Armed Police Tibet Corps, told me that after they arrived in the afternoon they had not stopped — chopping vegetables, washing rice, lighting fires, portioning meals... "The people on the frontline are doing physical labor — they can't manage without eating their fill. We who do logistics can eat a bit later, that's fine; we have to let the people going to the frontline eat first."
As I left, I looked back once — the soldiers were still busy in the rain. When the road was cut off, they were the first to rush up and repair it; when the road was reopened, they were the first to bring hot meals up. The People's Liberation Army (人民子弟兵, ren min zi di bing - "people, children, army") is forever the most beloved of people.

At 10:00 on September 2, the 3-kilometer section of National Highway 216 from the national gate of Gyirong Port that had been damaged by the disaster was finally successfully reopened. This is a road of hope — without opening it, the sustained search-and-rescue efforts would lack an important guarantee. The difficulty of the repair work was beyond imagination. The road was built along the deep canyon of the Gyirong Tsangpo River, with a sheer cliff of a thousand ren on one side and a swift current flowing at six to seven meters per second on the other. The narrowest working surface was only 3 meters wide, leaving no room for large machinery to maneuver; a barrier lake hung overhead, and continuous rainfall could trigger landslides at any moment. For 8 days and 7 nights, they fought day and night — the more dangerous the terrain, the more they pressed forward. The "last kilometer" in particular became a tough battle. At different points and in different posts, with excavator operator Huang Xun, armed police soldier Liang Ruicong, truck driver Pubu Zhaxi, and others as representatives, rescue personnel from all sides worked together with one heart and mind (齐心协力, qi xin xie li - "together heart, together strength"), fighting shoulder to shoulder, building the solid roadbed of this road of hope with fearless and undaunted (无惧无畏, wu ju wu wei - "no fear, no dread") spirit.
The obsession at 1,000-plus meters — "If the road isn't open, I can't even sleep well"
There were still 1,000-plus meters to the national gate of Gyirong Port. A 40-to-50-ton excavator sat by the riverbank, its bucket dipping into the river, probing forward bit by bit. In the cab, Huang Xun, an excavator operator with China Anneng Chongqing Rescue Team, stared hard at the water surface. The river was muddy and turbulent; beneath the surface, whether it was rocks or deep pits, he simply could not see — he relied entirely on the faint feedback transmitted through the bucket. The mudslide had raised the riverbed higher than the original roadbed, leaving no room for large machinery to maneuver. Several excavators could only line up single-file along the canyon, relaying materials forward to the very front. Small rocks were dumped in, only to be swept away in an instant. They switched to large boulders, first piling up retaining ridges in the water, then filling in smaller material to build the roadbed. The further forward they went, the narrower the valley became. About 1 kilometer from the port, National Highway 216 curved into a large S-bend — the most difficult section of the entire line lay at this bend. The torrent charged around the curve, ceaselessly scouring the freshly filled roadbed; above, two waterfalls sent water crashing straight down onto the working surface, with mist and碎石 battering the windshield in waves. The most dangerous moment came when Huang Xun used his bucket to hoist a large boulder, intending to place it at the outermost retaining ridge position of the bend. The stone was too heavy, and the entry point into the water was off-center; the torrent yanked it, and the entire excavator suddenly slid sideways toward the river's center, the front of the machine beginning to slip into the river. Huang Xun did not panic — he swung the joystick back in the opposite direction, using the boom to pull the center of gravity back, bringing the machine to a firm stop. Speaking of it later, his tone was calm: "When it feels wrong, you adjust quickly."
Behind Huang Xun, fellow excavator operator Yu Chengyang made hand gestures through the glass, directing the equipment to pass material forward. "He takes the lead position — if he doesn't move, nobody behind him can move either," Yu Chengyang said. On the plateau, at noon the cab was stuffy and scorching hot; when a bout of rain swept through, it turned biting cold. With oxygen scarce, working for a while brought chest tightness. "People rest, machines don't" — Huang Xun spent over ten hours a day in the cab, working until past 1 a.m. the previous night and climbing back onto the machine at 6 a.m. the next morning. "If the road isn't open, I can't even sleep well; once the road is open, only then does my heart feel at ease." This was the obsession of Huang Xun and his colleagues.
The perseverance at 500-plus meters —"I felt deeply distressed, and even more felt the urgency of rescue"
There were still 500-plus meters to the national gate of Gyirong Port. On the road leading to Gyirong Port, one step down and mudwater submerged the boot uppers. Pulling the boots out brought up a clump of mud. Only upon arriving at the scene did one realize how difficult it was to maneuver engineering machinery. On the riverside flank, parts of the roadbed had been hollowed out; heavy machinery, with its great self-weight, could not get too close; in some places the soil was loose and soft, and once the tracks pressed down they slipped. On the mountainside flank, rocks and mud were piled in the potholes, and the machinery buckets were too large to clean them out thoroughly. In the places these machines could not reach or could not cover, people had to do the work by hand.
Soldier Liang Ruicong of the Shigatse Detachment of the Armed Police Tibet Corps was doing exactly this kind of work. He bent down, cleaning shovel by shovel. The mud was mixed with broken stones, sticky and heavy. With each shovel, he had to press down hard with his foot on the shovel back to drive it into the mud; mud splashed up onto his trouser legs, forming a crust of dark and light patches. Rainwater dripped down along his helmet brim, and the back of his camouflage uniform was soaked through — one could not tell whether it was rain or sweat. The climate in the valley was changeable; rain came whenever it pleased, yet the road repair work advanced meter by meter. No matter how exhausted, no one uttered a single word about withdrawing.
On the day the disaster struck, Liang Ruicong was attending a study session of his detachment. Hearing the notice to support the front line, he grabbed his gear and, together with his comrades, swiftly assembled and set out. "Seeing the situation on site, I felt deeply distressed, and even more felt the urgency of rescue."
The operation on site was layered excavation, segmented work, and human-machine coordination. Excavators in front, loaders behind; large machinery cleared the large broken rocks, while people cleaned the hard-to-reach corners. Soldier Li Qipu of the Shigatse Detachment of the Armed Police Tibet Corps said:"We give full play to our advantages of tight organization and strong assault capability, launching tough assaults on the most arduous sections."
When this reporter first arrived at the scene on August 28, there was almost no road underfoot. Mud and broken stones were piled into small mounds; with every step, one had to first stamp down firmly before taking the next. A few days later, on this section, trucks and excavators could already pass each other side by side. As the road repair work made progress, Liang Ruicong and his comrades advanced along the valley toward the national gate area of Gyirong Port. Every few steps, the soldier at the head of the line used a shovel to probe the solidity of the ground beneath — if the shovel sank deep, they detoured around; if it went shallow, they stepped firm. No matter how bad the road, they had to wade across it. Between the rain-mist and the turbid yellow river, camouflage green and battle-flag red appeared and disappeared in glimpses. The road, beneath their feet, was being leveled and extended bit by bit.
The hope at 100-plus meters —"Our home is here — disaster relief is saving ourselves"
There were still 100-plus meters to the national gate of Gyirong Port. The truck had bounced along for quite a while before finally stopping at the very front of the road repair site. Pubu Zhaxi rolled down the window, stuck his head out to look back, backed up inch by inch, then shifted gears and raised his hand. The truck bed slowly tilted up, and large boulders came crashing down with a "whoosh." These stones would be used to pave the final 100 meters of the road leading to Gyirong Port. "Our home is here — disaster relief is saving ourselves." Pubu Zhaxi is a villager of Bangxing Village, Gyirong Town, Gyirong County; over the past few days he had been getting up at 5:30 a.m. to take his truck out. Though he ordinarily also hauled crushed stone and transported earth, this time was different — "they are all especially heavy, especially large rocks."
After six consecutive days of high-intensity work, the truck body had gained quite a few scratches and dents, and the tires had worn considerably. He saw it all, but had no time to feel distressed over it. The material pickup point was at a temporarily opened site at the foot of a mountain. An excavator loaded large boulders into the truck bed shovel by shovel, while Pubu Zhaxi stood by the truck watching, occasionally shouting"a bit more." The fuller the load, the more at ease he felt inside. During waiting intervals, he would take out his phone and scroll through the constantly refreshing news feeds. "I want to know how things are going now — I hope rescue forces can get in as soon as possible." Pubu Zhaxi raised his head, gazing toward Gyirong Port in the distance. Once loaded, he hit the road. From the pickup point to the repair site was over 40 kilometers, mostly temporarily repaired makeshift roads — narrow, with many curves, with a mountainside that could collapse at any time on one side and a rushing river on the other. Pubu Zhaxi gripped the steering wheel with both hands, leaning slightly forward, eyes fixed on the road ahead. He dared not go fast, and dared not stop. When a vehicle came from the opposite direction, the two trucks would inch along to find a spot to pass each other, their side mirrors almost scraping past the mountainside. In a full day, he could only manage two or three round trips, but by quitting time it was often already late at night. The headlights lit up a short stretch of road ahead, and the low rumble of the engine accompanied him on the way back. At the front line of road repair, there were many local truck drivers like Pubu Zhaxi. They set aside their own work and threw themselves actively into the emergency rescue effort. "Almost there, almost there — with a bit more effort, it will be open." Gripping the steering wheel steady, Pubu Zhaxi shifted gears and set off once again.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Gyirong, September 2) (Reporter Shi Pengfei) After days of continuous efforts, new progress has been made in the rescue and disaster-relief operations following the mudslide disaster in Gyirong. On the morning of September 2, the disaster-affected section of National Highway 216 was successfully reopened to traffic, and all types of rescue forces pushed fully into the Gyirong Port national gate area, carrying out coordinated three-dimensional operations, with rubble search and rescue, site clearing, environmental disinfection, roadbed reinforcement, and other rescue and disaster-relief work advancing efficiently and in an orderly manner.
That day, the reporter walked on foot into the core disaster-affected area of Gyirong Port, where a three-dimensional rescue system was in place on site, combining mechanical assault with meticulous manual inspection and linking multiple forces in coordinated action. On the operation front, large engineering machinery continuously reinforced the damaged roadbed and slopes, while rescue forces from the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police conducted thoroughly and systematically (地毯式, di tan shi - "carpet style") and gap-free meticulous search and rescue operations in the crevices of rubble, low-lying blind spots, and building ruins, and carried out environmental disinfection.

It’s open!
At 10 a.m. on September 2, the land route leading to Gyirong Port was basically opened up. Rescue personnel, supplies, and equipment were thus able to accelerate their entry into the core disaster-stricken area. From road rush-repair to energy support, from environmental monitoring to material supply, numerous central state-owned enterprises and private enterprises have rallied together and worked as one (凝心聚力, ning xin ju li - "congeal heart, gather strength"), providing enormous assistance to the emergency rescue and disaster relief efforts.
matter how hard, we must push forward
On August 26, due to a sudden debris flow disaster on the Nepalese side, Gyirong Port suffered severe damage. The final few kilometers of National Highway 216 leading to Gyirong Port were completely washed away. No matter how hard, we must push forward. Per the arrangements of the Ministry of Emergency Management, China Anneng shouldered the heavy responsibility of rush-repairing the road. The working face was too narrow, and large machinery could not be deployed — so they used excavators to relay materials in sequence, advancing on a single line. The current was too swift, and large rocks were swept away as soon as they entered the water — so they built anti-scour barriers, dumped 500-kilogram boulders, lowered steel gabions, and forcibly padded out a new roadbed. "On the evening of September 1, when victory was just ahead, persistent heavy rainfall caused some of the already-filled roadbed to be submerged again." Li Hongjun, chief commander of China Anneng Third Engineering Bureau, said. Fear no difficulty, do not lose heart. People rest while machines do not stop; shifts rotate without interruption. Through day-and-night hard fighting, China Anneng extended the road forward section by section. Rush-repairing means racing against time (与时间赛跑, yu shi jian sai pao - "with time race run"). Safety, likewise, must not be compromised. Laser video artificial intelligence monitors, slope radar, and drones continuously observed the mountain bodies on both sides of the newly advanced area, capturing tiny deformations in real time and assessing risk trends. Up front, China Anneng was responsible for tackling the hard targets; in the rear, numerous central state-owned enterprises guaranteed logistics. Every day, fuel tanker trucks laden with diesel departed from the PetroChina Tibet Sales Gyirong Valley gas station and traveled 30 kilometers of mountain road to reach the front. "From 3 p.m. on August 31 to 2 a.m. on September 1, we refueled more than 70 heavy trucks in one stretch." Said La Qiongtseren, an employee of Tibet Sales Shigatse Branch. China Railway Group deployed 196 personnel and 131 sets of equipment, transporting 1,000 tons of steel rebar and 300 tons of road-laying steel plates; China Railway Construction Corporation assembled 500 lead-wire gabions, 400 kilograms of binding wire, and 600 bamboo plywood boards; China Communications Construction Group executed road disaster assessment and material processing; China State Construction Engineering Corporation assisted in analyzing structural safety of buildings……
Wherever the road was repaired, electricity and communications were connected
Electric power is the "vanguard" of rescue.
After the disaster struck, State Grid immediately formed an expert team, and repair personnel, power generation vehicles, and lighting equipment assembled through the night. The road rush-repair continued day and night — how was lighting to be guaranteed?
On the evening of August 29, two lighting drones broke through the curtain of rain, hovering at an altitude of 80 meters, and lights instantly lit up, illuminating an area of 500 square meters. "As long as the ground generator keeps supplying fuel, it will not lose power." Said Danzeng Namgyal, an employee of State Grid Shigatse Power Supply Company. As of September 2, the lighting drones had provided services at the emergency rescue site for five consecutive days.
Power facility rush-repair was also advancing rapidly. "We bury the utility poles two meters deep into the ground to ensure stability." Introduced Pu Qiong, general manager of State Grid Gyirong County Power Supply Company, noting that each utility pole took half an hour to erect. Wherever rush-repair operations on the road went, power lighting support followed; wherever the road was opened, power lines were restored. After the debris flow disaster, ground networks were damaged — how was communications to be ensured?
Satellite communications stepped in. At 6 p.m. on August 26, a Wing Loong emergency communications drone urgently took off from Sichuan, and after nearly 8 hours of flight, arrived over the disaster area. Relying on stable satellite links, it opened up the command channel between front and rear. Meanwhile, Tibet and Shanghai cooperated, completing system configuration adjustments in just 1 minute, and overnight batch-activated BeiDou satellite short-message services for emergency support personnel and disaster-affected residents. In environments with no ground network, text messages pierced through the clouds, becoming a "star road" for reporting safety, seeking help, and command dispatch.
Ground network rush-repair was equally swift. A 13-person frontline party member commando unit (党员突击队, dang yuan tu ji dui - "party member assault team") from China Mobile advanced against the current, on foot. Optical cable reels piled up like small mountains pressing down on their shoulders, mudand water trickled down their trouser legs, yet the team members still pressed forward. When they slipped, they got up and continued advancing. At 2:33 p.m. on the 27th, the 5G base station at Gyirong Boundary Marker 47 was activated, 4 kilometers from the national gate; at 4 p.m. on the 28th, a portable satellite station was erected south of Jiang Village, 3 kilometers from the national gate; at 7 p.m. on the 28th, a nomadic base station was urgently restored, replacing the temporary satellite portable station, and public-network communications on the front line of rescue were restored……
China Unicom, meanwhile, at 1:30 p.m. on the 30th, activated and put into use the first emergency base station at Gyirong Port closest to the national gate, successfully filling the communications blind spot at the border frontline. Central state-owned enterprises "step up", private enterprises "follow up"
Behind this disaster relief effort, there are many enterprises' figures. China National Building Material Group, as a member unit of the "Rain Swallow Emergency·Major Disaster Drone Emergency Cooperation Mechanism", immediately dispatched its aircrew, undertaking the real-time monitoring mission for the upstream barrier lake. On August 28, the footage relayed a danger signal — the barrier lake's water was overflowing the dam body. The aircrew immediately issued a warning, guiding personnel to evacuate urgently, avoiding casualties caused by secondary disasters. Flying during the day for modeling, organizing data at night, the aircrew often held their posts until late at night, only forced to stop when rain came.
The "national team" chews on "hard bones" at the front, while private enterprises weave a "supply network" in the rear.
Tencent Foundation invested 20 million yuan, launching the "disaster relief hour delivery"; JD Logistics dispatched trucks free of charge to transport supplies; SANY Group surveyed surrounding construction machinery to stand by……
Central state-owned enterprises "step up", private enterprises "follow up". Under the safeguard of relevant mechanisms, the government took the lead in building platforms, social organizations docked in an orderly manner, and rescue forces received ample support, advancing steadily toward one goal after another.

The overland passage to Gyirong Port has been successfully reopened!
As the news arrived, the entire town of Gyirong immediately sprang into motion. Rescue vehicles that had been parked on the streets started their engines, and teams of rescue personnel in full gear set out in batches, heading for the border-gate area of Gyirong Port. To be in motion — that was what everyone had been hoping for. Since the disaster struck, the fate of the deceased and the missing had weighed on everyone's heart. But because sections of National Highway 216 had been destroyed, many rescue forces were trapped on the periphery, unable to exert their strength. To be in motion — that would bring hope. More than a week had passed since the disaster, but no matter what, every effort must be made to search for the deceased and the missing. Whether it was the rescue personnel fighting on the front lines or those standing by in the town of Gyirong, this conviction in their hearts had never faded.
The words of Xiao Fugui, a police officer at the Gyirong Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station, voiced the shared sentiment of everyone: "We must get in there, and search every inch of the land."
Walking along the suddenly somewhat "quiet" streets of Gyirong town, gazing at the national flags hanging outside shop fronts, one's heart could not help but surge with hot blood. Though the disaster is merciless, it cannot stop our forward march. However many hardships and obstacles (艰难险阻, jian nan xian zu - "difficult, hard, dangerous, obstacle") there may be, we must surmount them one by one, cross them one by one. Along the just-reopened road, set out, and press forward toward the national gate!

More than a week ago, the once-smooth border ports were reduced to "isolated islands" following the disaster. Racing against the wind and rain (与风雨竞速, yu feng yu jing su - "with wind rain, compete speed), racing against dangerous situations (与险情赛跑, yu xian qing sai pao - "with danger situation, race run), a tough battle to quickly reopen the roads suddenly broke out in the continuous mountains of Jilong County.
For several consecutive days and nights, what entered the ears was the roar of machinery, and what met the eyes were rushing figures. Advancing meter by meter, the rescue personnel maintained a state where people rest while machines keep running (人歇机不停, ren xie ji bu ting - "person rest, machine not stop"), all in order to open up this road of hope just a little bit earlier.
Quickly reopening roads is never just for this single road. Rescue personnel living in tents within the core disaster area told me that, due to previous restrictions on road access, they could only advance through methods such as rappelling and hiking, which not only caused great physical exhaustion and high risks, but also significantly reduced the coverage of search and rescue and the efficiency of relief efforts.
As the roads were connected, the "main forces" of various rescue parties arrived in the core disaster area one after another, carrying equipment and supplies; after a brief division of labor, they quickly launched rescue operations, comprehensively deploying work such as personnel search and rescue, hidden danger investigation, and the transport of supplies.
Every time a section of silt is cleared and a meter of road surface is advanced, one more obstacle is cleared for the rescue. This road connects not only the flow of vehicles and supplies, but also the expectations of countless people.

The road to the Jilong Port is open.
On September 2, just as dawn was breaking, news came from the other side of the cordon set up by China Energy Security (中国安能). First came a shout, followed by a flurry of footsteps. Soon, more and more people gathered outside the cordon. Rescue personnel, some carrying equipment and others lugging shovels, all gazed anxiously toward the road at the mountain pass.
The previous night, I stayed in a tent with the fire and rescue personnel, just sitting there.
This night was truly long; I walked toward the cordon several times, seeing only a few safety officers standing under the lights, their shadows stretched long. The night in the high-altitude canyon was truly cold, with wind and rain pouring in from the mouth of the valley, and I wrapped my coat tightly around me.
Everyone was waiting for news of the road being cleared early the next morning. This kind of waiting is, in itself, a part of the emergency rescue and relief efforts.
Over these past few days, the two phrases heard most often were "to be on standby at all times" (随时待命, sui shi dai ming - "at any time, await orders") and "to try every possible means" (想方设法, xiang fang she fa - "think of ways, seek methods"). The former represents strict discipline and obedience to orders (令行禁止, ling xing jin zhi - "orders are carried out, prohibitions are enforced"), and the latter represents stepping up and shouldering responsibility (挺膺担当, ting ying dan dang - "puff out chest, take responsibility"). In the face of disaster, the simplest expressions contain the most steadfast responsibility.
The imminent command is the greatest expectation in the hearts of the rescue personnel.
Every minute outside the cordon is a confirmation of every meter ahead. In this waiting, every minute seems to last longer than 60 seconds. However, for every meter the road extends forward, it is one step closer to the issuance of the command.
If we give our all or exert maximum effort (全力以赴, quan li yi fu - "use all strength, to go all out"), all the waiting will be worth it.

On September 1, the public welfare program 2026 "First Lesson of the School Term" (《开学第一课》), jointly hosted by the Central Publicity Department, the Ministry of Education, and the China Media Group, was broadcast. This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of China. With the theme "Our Long March Road", the program affectionately told the stories of the extremely difficult and arduous (艰苦卓绝, jian ku zhuo jue - "hardship, extremely, magnificent") Long March undertaken by the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by the Communist Party of China, educating and guiding young people to establish a correct view of history, encouraging them to continue forward along the footprints of the revolutionary forebears and to walk well the Long March road of the new era. The program's first real-scene lesson walked into the Memorial Park of the Red Army's Long March Xiangjiang River Campaign, located in Quanzhou, Guangxi. The Red 34th Division fought to the last drop of blood to cover the main force in crossing the river; the bravery of the 29-year-old division commander Chen Shuxiang, who "made his resolve clear by severing his own intestines", made Zhong Zirong, a sixth-grade student at Hongjing Primary School in Ruijin City, Jiangxi Province, moisten his eyes: "We must be good 'relay runners' of the new era, using the efforts of every day to walk well our own Long March road."
From the great turning point of the Zunyi Conference, to the military miracle of crossing the Chishui River four times... Ma Weifang, a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences, combined sand table simulations and marching routes to analyze the military wisdom with which the Red Army turned passivity into initiative amid the encirclement, pursuit, blocking, and interception of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. Chen Yin, a fourth-grade student at the Minzu Primary School of Haidian District, Beijing, said to this day: "Previously I had seen the story of crossing the Chishui River four times in books and only felt that the Red Army was very brave; only after watching the program did I understand that courage alone is not enough — one must also seek truth from facts (实事求是, shi shi qiu shi - "seek truth, from facts") and adapt flexibly; this is the real wisdom."
Zhu De organized a "Wild Vegetable Committee" and risked "tasting a hundred herbs" to identify edible plants; Ren Bishi called his leather belt "boiled beef"... Lu Yong, a professor at the National Defense University, combined revolutionary cultural relics and the memories of veteran Red Army soldiers to take the students "back" to the journey woven from severe cold, oxygen deficiency, and hunger. "This is vivid teaching material for the history classroom," said Jia Lili, a history teacher at the Affiliated Middle School of Shandong University. "As educators, we must plant in children's hearts the courage to view all obstacles as trivial (万水千山只等闲, wan shui qian shan zhi deng xian - "ten thousand waters, thousand mountains, only, treat as ordinary")."
From the successful launch of the first carrier rocket, to successive challenges of technological paths never before trodden by predecessors, the "Long March" is also continuously writing new stories through the innovative breakthroughs of generations of aerospace workers. This July, the Long March 10B carrier rocket successfully completed its maiden flight, achieving China's first-ever controlled recovery of a carrier rocket first stage and the world's first maritime net-based recovery of a carrier rocket. In the program, Han Houjian, chief overall designer of the Long March 1 carrier rocket, and Xiong Tianci, chief overall designer of the Long March 10B carrier rocket, jointly told the story of 70 years of relayed struggle in China's aerospace industry. "We must not only learn theoretical knowledge well, but also inherit this courage to dare to breach the 'no-man's land'." After watching the program, Xuan Xianhe, a first-year student at the School of Astronautics of Northwestern Polytechnical University, further strengthened his determination to devote himself to the aerospace cause: "In the future, we must make the 'Long March' rocket fly higher and return more steadily, writing a new chapter for the motherland's aerospace endeavor."
For parents of students, too, each year's "First Lesson of the School Term" is also a profound patriotic education. Chang Huiming, a parent of a student at the Primary School Affiliated to Sichuan International Studies University, said: "The program closely links the bloody battle journey of the revolutionary forebears with the current struggle and practice; seeing the child watching with full concentration, I deeply know that ideological and political education has won people's hearts (深入人心, shen ru ren xin - "deep, enter, people, heart")."
After "First Lesson of the School Term" was simultaneously broadcast on the CCTV News client, Yangshipin, the "Xuexi Qiangguo" learning platform, and the National Smart Education Platform for Primary and Secondary Schools, netizens left messages one after another:"We must bear history in mind and walk well the Long March road of our generation"...
"The program uses rich literary and artistic forms such as classic poetry recitation and chorus singing to convey feelings of family and country and demonstrate the spirit of responsibility; it both presents the weight of history and injects youthful expression." Liu Yuqi, deputy director of the Moral Education Office at Shanghai High School, said that at the start of the school term, this vivid ideological and political lesson uses history to illuminate the present and uses spirit to inspire the future, motivating young people of the new era to strive to learn knowledge well and take up the relay baton of the Long March road of the new era.

A businessperson shared a work habit that sounds quite enlightening: every morning, list all the tasks to be done, rank them by importance, then decisively cross out the ones at the back, and concentrate one's strength on doing only the top three deeply and thoroughly. This seemingly simple act of choosing and discarding contains the logic of accomplishing things — when energy is limited, if the key points are not prominent, one will be mediocre everywhere; only by concentrating strength on important matters is it easier to drive overall improvement through breakthroughs at key points. Applied to local development, the reasoning is the same: resources are limited, one must look at the input-output ratio, and if distinctions are not clear, one will end up in homogeneous competition. Some places are accustomed to "following trends in industry," regardless of their own endowments, chasing whatever is hot; some cling to the idea of "the more the better" (多多益善, duo duo yi shan - "more more increase better"), inviting investors without discrimination, and in the end they have a bit of everything but nothing refined, with core components all bought from others. This model of hollow technology and converging industrial chains will, in the end, easily "disperse in a sudden rush" (一哄而散, yi hong er san - "one burst then scatter"). To seek progress while maintaining stability (稳中求进, wen zhong qiu jin - "stability within seek progress") and promote high-quality development, one must distinguish key points, understand what to choose and what to discard, and strengthen advantages.
Distinguishing key points requires the strategic vision of daring to venture and good at acting (敢闯善为, gan chuang shan wei - "dare venture good act"), anchoring the direction of long-term breakthroughs, consolidating the industrial foundation, and optimizing the innovation ecosystem. Why did Anhui's annual output of new-energy vehicles rank first in the country? It set up an automobile office to coordinate the overall situation, and for more than a dozen key links in the industrial chain, such as batteries and chips, it separately identified "existing enterprises" and"recruitment targets." Knowing what is lacking, clearly understanding what to attract, in 2020 it injected capital into NIO, in 2021 it introduced BYD's production base, and in 2023 it introduced Volkswagen's sci-tech innovation center. Proceeding cautiously step by step (步步为营, bu bu wei ying - "step step establish camp"), it linked up the upstream and downstream and built up the industrial chain, and only thus did Anhui achieve its overtaking others by being more diligent (后来居上, hou lai ju shang - "later come occupy top") on the new-energy vehicle track.
Distinguishing key points must also maintain the strategic sobriety of "to have certain things one refuses to do" (有所不为, you suo bu wei - "have some not do"). If a project that does not conform to the plan comes to your door on its own — homogeneous, low-quality, but with dazzling short-term data — can you suppress the impulse for political achievements and say "no"? General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "be good at considering the big picture, the overall situation, and long-term interests (善于算大账、总账、长远账, shan yu suan da zhang, zong zhang, chang yuan zhang - "good at calculate big account, total account, long-term account"), not only the local account, the departmental account, andthe immediate account." In development planning and investment attraction, one must see both the individual points that are enterprises, and, even more, the overall surface of building a modern industrial system, balancing key breakthroughs with overall improvement — only thus can one win glory for one's own region and add luster to the whole. Conversely, without the courage to "discard," it is hard to focus, and thus hard to form core competitiveness. In a region, land, capital, and other factors are all limited; if one is greedy for bigness and completeness, the opportunity cost paid is even greater, and what is missed also includes the opportunity for transformation.
"Discarding" must be resolute, but "taking" must also be wise. The process of determining key points is precisely the process of grasping one's own characteristics and drawing on strengths while making up for weaknesses. To use strategy to overcome a stronger opponent (田忌赛马, tian ji sai ma - "Tian Ji race horses") wins by knowing oneself and one's enemy (知己知彼, zhi ji zhi bi - "know self know other"). Understanding one's own situation thoroughly and being familiar with the external landscape requires comparing more during research. Some things one considers burdens can, when viewed dialectically on a larger scale, turn out to be resources; seemingly abundant foundations can, under the requirements of composite innovation, also appear weak. At present, all regions are seizing the opportunity of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation; full competition is conducive to innovative development, but one must also be vigilant against blind imitation that is divorced from reality. Facing the "red ocean" of competition in some industries, one may as well more flexibly seek out niche ecological positions, digging ten thousand meters deep in a width of one meter. Drawing on strengths while making up for weaknesses is for the purpose of consolidating core competitiveness, which means one cannot frequently switch tracks, but must optimize paths, upgrade methods, accurately find the connection point between the present and the future, and keep advancing. Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, once "dug porcelain clay and fired porcelain," now promotes advanced ceramics to march into communications electronics, aerospace, and other business forms, and, relying on porcelain culture, builds a whole-region heritage cultural-tourism system, blazing a new path for the cultural economy. Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, is rich in bentonite resources; at first it guarded its mine fields and sold chemical fertilizer, later it intelligently produced multi-category cat litter, and now it is breaking through toward the entire pet industry chain, with products exported to more than a hundred countries and regions. The common point of these places is that they continuously look forward, climb upward, and shift toward intelligence, thus "to make new advances every single day" (日日新，又日新, ri ri xin, you ri xin - "day day new, again day new").
Development is like a game of chess; every move has its method. Between choosing and discarding, one's breadth of vision is revealed, and one's height is seen. Be good at planning, good at deciding, good at discarding and adopting, combine adapting measures to suit local conditions (因地制宜, yin di zhi yi - "according to land adapt measures") with adapting to the circumstances (时时制宜, shi shi zhi yi - "according to time adapt measures"), think clearly about "what to do," and hold fast to "what not to do" — only then can one, amid a multitude of ships racing forward (千帆竞发, qian fan jing fa - "thousand sails compete launch"), find the right channel, and, in a fierce competition among many participants (百舸争流, bai ke zheng liu - "hundred boats compete stream"), sail toward a farther shore.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized: "Cadres must go deep into the grassroots, deep into reality, and deep into the masses, tempering their character and improving their skills on the main battlefield of reform and development, on the front line of maintaining stability, and at the forefront of serving the people."

"Gentle fire, slow stew" brings out the true flavor
Liu Shili, Zepu County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
Anyone with cooking experience knows: to simmer chicken soup, you cannot use a fierce flame — if the fire is too high, the chicken fat will rapidly emulsify, and the soup will easily become cloudy; simmered slowly over a gentle fire, the soup will be clear and not greasy. Doing grassroots work well likewise requires the skill of to do something patiently and steadily (文火慢炖, wen huo man dun - "gentle fire, slow stew"). Gentle fire, slow stew is not procrastination, but rather, on the basis of getting a clear picture of the bottom-line facts and sorting out the line of thinking, to do things in a steady and methodical way (稳扎稳打, wen zha wen da - "steady stab, steady strike"). Seeing others make a success of cultural tourism, then hastily launching a project without asking about the actual conditions, very likely will lead to being unaccustomed to local conditions (水土不服, shui tu bu fu - "water, soil, not adapt"); when mediating conflicts, if the underlying causes have not been sorted out clearly, then offering a plan according to one's own wishes, it is easy to solve one problem only to create another (按下葫芦起了瓢, an xia hu lu qi le piao - "press down gourd, rise up ladle"). To get things done well, one must be down-to-earth and practical (脚踏实地, jiao ta shi di - "feet tread, solid ground"), be unrealistic or overly ambitious (不好高骛远, bu gao wu yuan - "not high, aimlessly far"), to seek progress while maintaining stability (稳中求进, wen zhong qiu jin - "stability, seek, progress"), to advance step by step (循序渐进, xun xu jian jin - "follow order, gradually advance"), and keep advancing steadily.
Gentle fire, slow stew, also means having the patience to let the flavor slowly come out. Has Aunt Li's medical insurance been processed yet? After the certificate is issued, which items can be enjoyed without application or handled across provinces? Does Aunt Li grasp these matters, and how can we help her understand them and remember them? Take one step, think ten steps ahead; do not make do, often put yourself in others' shoes — winning the trust of the masses lies in the accumulated点滴 of doing daily work solidly and meticulously. Being willing to spend time thinking for the masses and spending time with the masses, only then can there be a deeper foundation among the masses. Seeking solutions among the fields and furrows, settling true feeling in the lights of ten thousand households, one step at a time, advancing bit by bit — every grassroots cadre can "stew" out the true flavor.
Turning "hearing" into "understanding"
Zhu Chen, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province
During a home visit, a villager reported that the road near his home was full of potholes, making travel inconvenient on rainy days. At first I thought it was just a matter of repairing the road surface, but after further investigation I found that it also involved problems like poor drainage and inconvenient vehicle passage. So, we did not rush to handle it simply, but instead went door-to-door again, listened to the masses' opinions, and coordinated with relevant departments to jointly study solutions. In the end, the related problems were advanced together. Through this experience, I have come to understand even more that serving the masses cannot be satisfied with "hearing," but must go further to "understanding."
Turning "hearing" into "understanding" requires going one layer deeper, moving from the surface to the interior. Small matters cannot be "looked down upon" — when small problems reported by the masses are solved on the surface, deeper-level problems may still exist. This requires us to see the essence through phenomena, digging deep into hidden dangers and risks. For example, why have small problems existed for a long time? What bottlenecks remain in the implementation of policies achieving tangible results? To analyze something in great detail (抽丝剥茧, chou si bo jian - "extract silk, peel cocoon"), tracing back to the roots, studying the mechanisms and analyzing the principles to promote reform and governance, taking bottlenecks and difficulties as the entry points and breakthroughs for improving work — only then can more dividends for people's livelihoods be released. Problems are always universally connected; if one merely to focus on the matter at hand without bias (就事论事, jiu shi lun shi - "take matter, discuss matter"), one easily falls into the mistaken zone of to treat symptoms rather than the root cause (头痛医头脚痛医脚, tou tong yi tou jiao tong yi jiao - "head pain, treat head, foot pain, treat foot"). Establishing systematic thinking, being good at discovering related problems from one problem, seeing common problems from individual demands, can better realize proactive service and forward-leaning service. "Hearing" shows attitude; "understanding" demonstrates responsibility. Doing the work of serving the masses more deeply, doing the solving of problems more solidly, the masses' satisfaction will become higher and higher.
Being proactive in work also requires attention to method
Wu Nan, Benxi City, Liaoning Province
To make it convenient for elderly residents to complete pension qualification certification, the community launched door-to-door service, with cadres bringing their phones to help handle it. We thought it was a good thing, but after running around, some elderly people would not even open the door. Later, one cadre changed his approach — first chatting about everyday matters, asking about needs, and only then explaining the purpose of the visit; the elderly person welcomed him warmly, and the certification went smoothly. Both were doing things for the people, but with different methods, the results were vastly different. Being proactive in work also requires attention to method. Some cadres feel that door-to-door service is already proactive action, yet they overlook the wariness elderly people feel when facing unfamiliar situations and filling in personal information. Cadres' footsteps must follow the "habits" of the masses; only by thinking about problems from the perspective of the masses can one dispel concerns, eliminate estrangement, precisely align the focal points of work with the concerns of the masses, and let good policies truly warm people's hearts. Strengthening proactiveness in work requires both putting oneself in others' shoes and being meticulous in details. The methods of serving the masses are sometimes hidden in the daily necessities of life. Turning service guides into larger print, "translating" policies into the language of the masses, making things understandable to the masses, making matters easy to handle, turning each service pain point into a convenience highlight — only then can work have warmth, and trust have its foundation.

After the mudslide disaster in Gyirong County, Tibet, a barrier lake formed in the Purepuchang Tsangpo River. To scientifically assess the situation of the barrier lake and devise an effective response plan, the monitoring team arrived at the observation platform. Here, the reporter observed that equipment including drones, slope radar, satellite portable stations, and communication surveillance balls made their "appearance" one after another, playing a major role. Thanks to the diversified technical equipment, the state of the barrier lake has been effectively monitored, which provides an important reference for the command headquarters' decision-making. The rescue teams can also carry out the next step of hazard-removal operations accordingly, making the related work more methodical and to shoot straight at the target (有的放矢, you de fang shi - "have the target, shoot the arrow"). At the very beginning of the disaster, in the face of power outages, communication disruptions, and road blockages, technical means became a powerful assistant. As netizens said, technology is no longer a concept, but a race against time (争分夺秒, zheng fen duo miao - "struggle for minutes, snatch seconds") lifeline. Around the Gyirong Port area, the mountains are high, the valleys are deep, and the roads are perilous, and uncertain risks still exist. Avoiding detours and leveraging technology — in this contest racing against time, science and technology are not merely auxiliary tools for rescue, but an important force in disaster relief. Rapidly mapping the disaster-affected areas, precisely delivering supplies and equipment, dynamically monitoring changes in danger conditions... Where people cannot enter, drones arrive first; where dangers are unclear to the human eye, drones conduct meticulous inspections. A post-2000s drone operator continuously operated the drone for 21 hours, and even with frozen fingers, he persisted with all his strength. Only by doing one's utmost (竭尽全力, jie jin quan li - "exhaust all, use full strength"), following objective laws, and suiting local conditions (因地制宜, yin di zhi yi - "according to the ground, adapt to the situation"), can the maximum potential of scientific and technological means be brought into play.
The disaster situation is complex, rescue is not easy, and scientific and technological means must each show one's special skills (各显神通, ge xian shen tong - "each display, divine powers"). UAV three-dimensional modeling combined with thermal imaging detection makes every effort to search for missing persons; when roads are cut off and communications are lost, emergency communication vehicles, satellite terminals, and other equipment coordinate their efforts to open up the "lifeline" of rescue. From judging by experience to monitoring by "clairvoyant eyes," from manual inspection to intelligent perception, from single-point rescue to air-ground-space coordinated operations, more and more advanced technologies and equipment are making today's disaster relief more precise, efficient, and orderly.
It should be noted that mudslide disasters are often not "one-off" in nature. After a single impact, will the mountain still slide? Could the river channel become blocked? Is the barrier lake water level still rising? These questions all concern the life safety of rescue personnel and surrounding residents. The value of scientific and technological means also lies in monitoring and preventing new risks, preventing the occurrence of secondary disasters. Taking the situation on the night of August 29 as an example, on-site staff, through monitoring by satellite remote sensing, slope radar, and other means, discovered that a mountain landslide occurred downstream of the Purepuchang Tsangpo barrier lake, forming a new barrier body. The information was quickly transmitted back, experts made timely assessments, and nearby rescue personnel were immediately evacuated to a safe area. From detecting anomalies, to intelligent analysis, to dispatching personnel evacuation, technology continuously provides support for the closed-loop management of risks and hidden dangers. At present, the Purepuchang Tsangpo barrier lake has completely discharged its floodwaters.
After the mudslide disaster occurred, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions, emphasizing, "Strengthen monitoring and early warning, pay attention to scientific rescue." The meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee emphasized, "With resolute and powerful measures, scientific and efficient methods, do all work solidly and well." In the face of the intensifying extremity and destructiveness of natural disasters, the urgency of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief has become even more prominent. Based on the dynamic evolution of the disaster situation, establishing scientific thinking and innovative thinking, making good use of big data, satellite remote sensing, and other scientific and technological means, helps to enhance the ability to accurately predict risks and scientifically handle them, continuously strengthening resilience in disaster relief.
When satellites gaze at the earth, drones traverse canyons, and monitoring equipment captures subtle changes in mountains, the assessment and decision-making for disaster relief can become wiser, and rescue personnel charging forward will have a more solid foundation of confidence. Practice the"iron feet," and also make good use of the"strongest brain," ensuring that risks are visible and manageable — only then can rescue operations be made more efficient. The more steps technology takes, the more initiative disaster relief gains; the earlier the warning is issued, the more security life gains. Applying the power of innovation where the people need it most, truly transforming technological achievements into the strength that protects life — this is what technology empowerment should look like.

Return to TopAutumn grain is the major part of the year's total grain production. All localities are deeply advancing the large-area per-unit yield improvement campaign for grain and oil crops, integrating and promoting multiple measures such as integrated water-fertilizer management and the multi-purpose foliar spray technique (一喷多促, yi pen duo cu - "one spray, many promotes"), and the overall seedling condition of autumn grain is normal with growth态势良好. Dispatching from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that this year's autumn grain planting area is stable with a slight increase, the crops currently in the fields are generally growing normally, and the foundation for securing a bumper grain harvest for the whole year is relatively solid. This is precisely:
Green waves rise over the fields,
Shooting up toward the clouds and sky. Good policies turn into rain and dew,
Autumn harvest brings ten-thousand bushels of grain. By Liao Yuanwen

Having worked in talent work for over a year, I have gradually come to realize that when evaluating talent, what is most feared is "indicators-only, form-based" assessment. Not all genuine knowledge and ability, or real contributions and achievements, can be reflected on paper. Some time ago, the city organized a review of high-level talent projects, and the application materials of a master's degree holder in applied chemistry surnamed Zhou looked, by all appearances, far from "impressive": he graduated from an ordinary institution, had worked for 7 years at a new materials company in the county, had only 2 papers, and was the second inventor on his patent. Under the current scoring system — how many points for education, how many points for papers, how many points for titles — he could not even get past the first round. Those hard indicators on the form were like a ruler; with a light stroke, they shut people out.
I had assumed the initial screening results were objective and fair, until the section chief took me to his company. In the workshop, an old master worker pulled me aside and said: "Before Xiao Zhou came, we were just doing contract manufacturing for others, with very thin margins. After he came, he drew the blueprints himself, improved the processes, and led a few young guys graduated from technical school, and managed to raise the localization rate of an imported coating from 30% to 85%. You people evaluate talent — isn't this exactly the kind of person you should be evaluating?"
That afternoon, I decided to stay, and followed him through his daily work routine. On the pilot production line, he squatted down to debug equipment, his work pants worn white at the knees. He smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm not good at writing papers, but every time I solve a process problem, and see things come out of my own hands, I feel grounded." After following him through half a day's workflow, I also made more than a dozen phone calls to his colleagues and upstream/downstream clients, and a new portrait emerged: this person, who by "the standards" was to be eliminated, had overcome two common industry problems, built up a technical team with an average age of 32, and the company's entire new product line depended on his leadership to establish.
To open up new prospects in talent work, we should not be locked in by these scoring forms. We designed a quantitative evaluation system, where every item could earn points — but those who truly crawl, climb, roll, and strike through the workshop, solving real problems, often lack the time, the energy, and the skill to translate their achievements into the language of forms. The indicators printed on paper are neat and standardized, yet they cannot outline the vivid, real value found on the front lines. Looking at talent through spreadsheets is always like looking through a veil; only by stepping out, going to the front lines, and talking face-to-face with employers, can we capture the details omitted from materials and understand the true contributions behind the data. On the first batch of selected candidates, his name was prominently listed. That day he called, his voice rarely somewhat excited: "Thank you for coming over — otherwise I wouldn't have known how to 'prove' myself." I still keep the original copy of that thin application form, and occasionally take it out to look at it, reminding myself that the essence of talent work is to open a door for those who truly create value, not to build a wall out of forms. The most admirable talent is not only reflected in scoring criteria, but even more so in tangible, solid achievements.

Recently, two developments in the transportation sector, when viewed together, are quite thought-provoking (耐人寻味, nai ren xun wei - "endure people search taste") —
One concerns roads. Not long ago, the Ministry of Transport issued a plan proposing to plan and construct approximately 60,000 kilometers of premium self-driving tourism highways. Along these "treasure" routes, people can take in the full splendor of the country's great rivers and mountains. The other concerns vehicles. In recent years, passenger road transport, once subdued, has made a comeback in the form of customized services, returning to the choice list of people's daily travel. The "China Customized Passenger Transport Development Report (2025)" shows that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the number of customized passenger transport routes grew at an average annual rate of 36.9%.
Tourism highways pave the way for "poetry and the distant horizon," customized passenger transport provides exclusive services, and the upgrading and renewal of the travel experience has refreshed the vivid picture of "people enjoying their mobility," also reflecting a profound transformation in China's transportation construction. The change in the way of travel, behind it, is a change in the orientation of development. Looking back over the past several decades, China has built the world's largest and most evenly covered comprehensive transportation infrastructure system, achieving a historic leap. As the transportation skeleton has basically taken shape and the transport network has grown increasingly dense, the focus of construction is shifting from scale expansion to quality improvement.
The 60,000 kilometers of premium self-driving tourism highways are not about starting something anew from scratch (另起炉灶, ling qi lu zao - "start another stove") to lay new roads, but rather doing "addition" on the existing road network — through landscape renovation, service facility support, and resource linkage, turning travel routes into experiential spaces. The comeback of customized passenger transport does not rely on adding new transport capacity, but rather doing "subtraction" on traditional passenger transport — cutting inefficient routes, adding high-frequency stops, and connecting idle capacity with segmented markets... This one addition and one subtraction reflect the people-centered essence of high-quality development: with more refined strokes and more flexible supply, carrying ever more diverse aspirations for life.
The change in orientation is, in essence, a change in the philosophy of development. Highway construction and services are upgrading from pursuing connectivity to emphasizing experience, reflecting an investment philosophy that sees both things and people. More and more people are willing to pay for space and pay for experience. From "where the road is built to" to "where services follow," from "what I provide" to "what you need," transcending traditional paths and practicing the concept of "investing in people," helps to open up a "second growth curve" and better unleash the multiplier effect of transportation construction
Not only in the transportation sector, the "two major" constructions (两重建设) are driving a batch of livelihood projects into implementation, and the planning and construction of the "six networks" (六张网) is of great significance for stabilizing investment, expanding consumption, and benefiting people's livelihoods... The vivid practice of this opening year powerfully proves: channeling resources to where the masses need them most, and putting effort into enhancing the people's sense of gain, only then can we create new economic growth points while safeguarding and improving people's livelihoods, letting the fruits of development benefit all the people more fairly and broadly. This is the profound value foundation of the change in the way of travel
Looking deeper, the change in the way of travel points toward a higher-level dynamic balance between supply and demand, containing within it the answer of the times to better satisfying the people's aspirations for a better life. This June, the Chengdu-Chongqing long-distance bus, which once carried the commuting memories of several generations, after years of fading from public view, returned in a brand-new way. Switching from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, with more flexible routes, has let traditional passenger transport regain favor, with an occupancy rate exceeding 98% in the first week of operation.
"Demand has never disappeared; it is just that traditional passenger transport could not satisfy it." The person in charge of the passenger transport company's one sentence revealed the key to the "counterattack." Times are developing, society is progressing, and service upgrading is an eternal subject. Using new demand to lead new supply, using new supply to create new demand, the two pulling each other forward and promoting each other, only then can we form a virtuous cycle of progress in a continuous, upward spiral (螺旋上升, luo xuan shang sheng - "spiral rise"), continuously improving development effectiveness and bettering people's lives
The change in the way of travel connects family matters with state affairs. From the optimization from scale to quality and efficiency, the transformation of investment philosophy from seeing things to seeing people, the two-way convergence of supply and demand — in the new picture scroll of transportation construction, the "grand narrative" of national strategy and the "micro experience" of individual life are becoming more aligned and more resonant. Anchoring on the people's aspiration for a high-quality life, responding to the people's expectations with subtle and refined changes, every step forward that China's transportation takes will echo in people's hearts — making the distant no longer remote, making the journey home no longer long.

Under the vast, dim mountain skies, upon the endless Gobi Desert, men and women, old and young, swung their kantuman hoes to break the soil, pulled plows to reclaim the land, and dug sunken earthen nests to shelter themselves... Before the giant semicircular panoramic painting Reclaiming Borderlands and Guarding the Frontier in the Xinjiang Corps Military Reclamation Museum, visitors wore solemn expressions, as if transported back to those burning, passionate years. In July 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping, during his inspection tour of Xinjiang, came to Shihezi City, Eighth Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, visited the Xinjiang Corps Military Reclamation Museum, and in the museum's first-floor hall, met with representatives of the Corps' builders from three generations — old, middle-aged, and young. General Secretary Xi Jinping, with deep feeling, said: "The Corps spirit forged by the Corps people — selfless dedication (无私奉献, wu si feng xian - "not selfish, dedicate"), hard struggle and entrepreneurship (艰苦创业, jian ku chuang ye - "hardship, start, enterprise"), enterprising and pioneering (开拓进取, kai tuo jin qu - "open, expand, advance, strive") — is an important component of the spiritual lineage of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党人精神谱系, zhong guo gong chan dang ren jing shen pu xi - "China, Communist, Party, person, spirit, lineage"), and these precious treasures must be well used."
In Shihezi, hailed as "the First City of Military Reclamation of the Republic," cadres and masses alike have integrated the Corps spirit into the city's bloodline, into development practice, letting the Corps spirit be passed down from generation to generation and take deep root in people's hearts.
"A single museum holds half the history of military reclamation. A military overcoat with 296 patches is a testament to hard struggle and entrepreneurship. Farm tools reforged from artillery shell casings make the story of beating swords into plowshares vivid and tangible. And those dim, cramped earthen nests became the starting point for 'building a garden on the Gobi Desert'..." As docent Wang Yuanyuan walked, she introduced; beside her, the audience listened attentively. Nearly 30,000 pieces (sets) of collected cultural relics have frozen in time the arduous years when the Corps people built something from nothing (白手起家, bai shou qi jia - "white, hand, start, family") and opened up wasteland. Hard struggle and entrepreneurship — the people of Shihezi have always been on the road. In Xinan Town, Shihezi, Su Ting's father and grandfather were both old hands at growing chili peppers, and she, having returned to her hometown to start a business, is determined to help farmers sell good chili peppers at good prices. "Primary agricultural products can't fetch good prices, so we returned to our hometown to build a factory, extend the industry chain, and help farmers increase their income." Sun Nan, head of Xinjiang Jincheng Food Company, proactively connected with Shanghai research institutes to introduce new varieties, while also shooting large numbers of photos and videos of agricultural product processing and local pastoral scenery; netizens, through the internet, came to know the Corps and recognized the Corps' agricultural and specialty products. From saline-alkali desert to stable-yield fertile farmland — in 2026, Shihezi's total sown area of crops reached 4.7 million mu, with annual livestock slaughter exceeding 2 million head; the mechanization rate of agricultural planting reached 96.5%; the acreage promoted for large-field drip-irrigation water-saving technology ranked first nationally, and the technology has been exported to 17 countries. In the early years of New China, the people of Shihezi, without waiting or relying, reclaimed wasteland and built factories, rewriting the history that Xinjiang had no modern industry, producing Xinjiang's first spool of yarn, first bolt of cloth, first square lump of sugar... Today, emerging industry clusters such as new energy, new materials, and low-altitude economy are accelerating their development. Amid the "crackling" sound of welding and the burst of sparks, in the Yang Jianli Model Worker Innovation Studio of Xinjiang Tianfu Weiye Engineering Company, Yang Jianli, deputy chief engineer of the company, was conducting hands-on practical teaching with his young colleagues. "We are currently tackling the automatic welding technology for large-diameter pipes, moving from manual welding to automatic welding and then to intelligent welding, striving to cultivate more high-skilled frontline talent." Yang Jianli said. Achieving the zero breakthrough for domestic civilian large unmanned aerial vehicles in overseas markets, building the nation's first city-level source-grid-load-storage integrated demonstration zone, Shihezi Economic Development Zone being selected for the first batch of national zero-carbon park construction list... With enterprise innovation as the mainstay, Shihezi has built a full-chain innovation system of "R&D investment — platform construction — achievement transformation — entity cultivation," cultivating 4 national-level specialized, refined, differential, and innovative (专精特新, zhuan jing te xin - "specialized, refined, unique, innovative") "little giant" enterprises and 53 Corps-level specialized, refined, differential, and innovative small-and-medium enterprises. "This year we twist ropes and pull plows, oh; next year machines will run all over the fields, oh. Working hands can overturn heaven and earth, building a garden on the Gobi Desert..." In the melodious singing, Shihezi has already turned the vision of "building a garden on the Gobi Desert" into reality.

"One person's highest realm of love is to love others; a Communist Party member's highest realm of love is to love the people." In the morning light, student docent Bai Ma Duoji recited the famous words of Comrade Kong Fansen in a young, innocent voice.
This is the Kong Fansen Primary School in Gar County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region. The Memorial Hall of Comrade Kong Fansen, located on the school campus, displays 631 photographs, physical objects, and various documents.
"Every year at the start of the school term, we make studying Comrade Kong Fansen the first lesson; on weekends and holidays, the memorial hall is open to the public, and to date it has received more than 100,000 visitors," said Ciren, principal of Kong Fansen Primary School.
In August 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping, while listening to the work report of the Party Committee and People's Government of the Tibet Autonomous Region, stressed that "it is necessary to vigorously promote the Old Tibet Spirit (老西藏精神, lao xi zang jing shen - "old, Tibet, spirit") and the "Two Roads" Spirit (两路精神, liang lu jing shen - "two, roads, spirit"), adhere to the unity of strict management and loving care, and the equal emphasis on incentives and constraints, and guide the broad ranks of Party members, cadres, and all types of talent to make great efforts and forge ahead (奋发进取, fen fa jin qu - "strive, advance, go forward") and to take responsibility and take action (担当作为, dan dang zuo wei - "undertake, act, do")."
In Ngari Prefecture, the inheritance of the spirit is engraved in people's hearts and is also manifested in concrete, tangible actions.
The average elevation of Ngari Prefecture is 4,500 meters, with an oxygen content in the air of less than 50 percent of that on the plains, and winter temperatures can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius. Here, more than 1,000 Party branches and over 21,000 Party members bear in mind their original aspiration and mission (初心使命, chu xin shi ming - "initial, heart, mission"), are determined to strive and fight, and continuously inject new contemporary connotations into the Old Tibet Spirit and the "Two Roads" Spirit.
To relieve troubles and solve problems (排忧解难, pai you jie nan - "relieve, worries, solve, difficulties"), with deep affection for the warmth and cold of the masses —
In Diya Township, Zanda County, apricot trees form groves and apples weigh down the branches. As the mountain wind blows, sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves and falls on the face of Jiumei Duoji, a villager of Diya Village. "Thanks to the help of Party members and cadres, we earn more than 30,000 yuan extra every year just from selling fruit."
In the past, the fruit of Diya had output but no market, and Jiumei Duoji could only worry as he watched the bountiful harvest. Later, the Moments posts of county- and township-level Party members and cadres became free "billboards," gradually opening up a market for Diya fruit.
"Party members and cadres work hand in hand (携手并肩, xie shou bing jian - "hold, hands, side by side") with the masses, watering the fruit of prosperity with hard work," said Pubu Danzeng, township head of Diya Township.
Ngari Prefecture has established 461 grid Party organizations and 709 Party groups, with village (community) Party organization secretaries concurrently serving as grid Party organization secretaries, and has deployed 483 grid workers. Ngari Prefecture also regularly carries out Party members' "three contracts" and "dual reporting," helping to resolve the masses' "micro-wishes," "micro-dreams," and urgent, difficult, anxious, and longing problems.
To temper Party spirit (锤炼党性, chui lian dang xing - "temper, Party, nature"), and to accumulate feelings of serving the people —
In Qusong Township, Zanda County, a pastoral area at an elevation of 4,275 meters, 113 herder households live year-round by following water and pasture (逐水草而居, zhu shui cao er ju - "follow, water, grass, and, reside").
The Qusong Border Police Station has launched a "mobile police office" without fixed locations — wherever the herds migrate, police strength is stationed there. Year after year, the snowy mountain passes bear the footprints of the police officers' treks; in the vast snowy nights, herders can find them by following the lights.
Tian Yuan, political instructor of the Qusong Border Police Station, cited a set of figures: "Since the establishment of the 'mobile police office,' we have carried out more than 150 rescue operations, recovered over 900,000 yuan in economic losses, the jurisdiction has had no criminal cases for 14 consecutive years, and the on-site resolution rate for disputes and conflicts is 100 percent."
The high-altitude, oxygen-thin border line and the hard-pressed townships and villages have become a great classroom for training Party members and cadres in Ngari Prefecture.
"We place Party spirit education first, use the harsh environment to forge resilient character, distill grassroots experience into profound feelings of serving the people, and sink our roots deep into the plateau," said Wang Zhangxu, deputy head of the Organization Department of the Ngari Prefectural Party Committee.
All 138 villages (communities) have units paired with them for support; more than 5,800 Party members and cadres have paired with more than 6,390 (households of) persons in difficulty, special care groups, and those covered by basic subsistence guarantees; Party building in "new economic and new social organizations" and enterprise pairing support achieve full coverage; four brand systems including "Gratitude and Endeavor · Ecological Service to the Country" have been established... Ngari Prefecture has for 10 consecutive years deepened the construction of the "Western Tibet Vanguard · Red Ngari" Party building brand, promoting the comprehensive progress and comprehensive excellence of grassroots Party organizations.
To make great efforts and forge ahead, to take responsibility and take action. Generations of Party members and cadres carry on the legacy, seeking development for the snow-covered plateau, letting the flower of the Old Tibet Spirit bloom on "the roof of the roof of the world."

The first time I met Cao Yingjuan was on an ordinary afternoon. She had just returned from the ward, carrying a faint smell of disinfectant, her short hair neatly tucked behind her ears, and a pair of thin-framed glasses resting on the bridge of her nose. Hearing my greeting, she looked up, her eyes curving into two crescent moons as she smiled. Her smile was warm and soft, like that of an approachable, easygoing older sister from next door. Cao Yingjuan is the director of the Nursing Department at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and the captain of the Qilu Hospital Nightingale Volunteer Nursing Service Team. Chatting with her feels like catching up over a casual conversation; recalling her 35-year nursing career, her eyes would often redden slightly, and her words could not hide that deep-seated passion.
"Treat every child as if they were your own, and love them accordingly."
"My mother was a barefoot doctor in the countryside. She helped villagers with medical consultations and childbirth deliveries; for cases she could not handle, she would accompany the villagers to the hospital." Speaking of her mother, Cao Yingjuan's voice brimmed with pride. The winding country paths stretched ahead; her mother, carrying her medical kit, walked in front, her figure thin, but her steps brisk. Cao Yingjuan followed behind, growing up chasing that figure. Cao Yingjuan remembers a saying her mother once spoke: "Being able to help someone snatch their life back from death is a very remarkable thing."
Those words planted a seed in her heart. Back then she was still young and did not quite understand what it meant to to save lives and help the injured (救死扶伤, jiu si fu shang - "save the dying, assist the wounded"), but she only felt that the way her mother was needed by others was beautiful. In 1991, she graduated from health school and joined the pediatric department of Qilu Hospital, and that seed quietly sprouted—
The pediatric department is called the "mute department" by those in the profession. Children cannot speak; they can only cry. In the ward, incubators stood in a row, each holding premature, fragile lives. Some were no bigger than a palm, their skin so thin that blood vessels could be seen; one minute their breathing would be steady, and the next it might stop. Whenever a child's complexion looked wrong, or a child's breathing rhythm changed, Cao Yingjuan could always detect it in time. Once a child's breathing stopped, she would immediately slip her hand beneath his back and gently lift, once, twice, helping those tiny lungs re-expand and contract. Every breath, every cry of those small lives tugged at her heart. "I always tell myself, I must treat every child as if they were my own, and love them accordingly." Cao Yingjuan said.
"Nursing is an extremely meticulous and thorough guard, and it is empathy that puts oneself in another's position."
There was a premature infant who stayed in the incubator for two months; his sucking reflex had always been poor, and milk had to be delivered through a gastric tube. Cao Yingjuan hoped every day that he would be able to eat on his own. One day, while feeding him, the little one suddenly let out a "huff"—a sneeze, tiny and crisp. A small piece of dried nasal mucus flew out and landed, squarely, on her thumb. Speaking of this scene, Cao Yingjuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had returned to that afternoon. "Do you know that kind of joy?" She leaned forward slightly. "This child has strength now! His breathing is getting better!" That delight was like a mother watching her child roll over for the first time, or take his first steps.
Beside the hospital there was a fast-food restaurant that Cao Yingjuan often visited. Over time, she noticed that one server, every time she scooped food for Cao Yingjuan, would always give her half a ladle more, and a bit more meat. Cao Yingjuan did not know her, and felt puzzled, until she finally could not resist asking.
It turned out that this server's child had once been hospitalized at Qilu Hospital due to hemolysis and urgently needed a blood transfusion, but the blood bank was critically short. In the end, Cao Yingjuan donated blood for the child. "As long as it can save the child, draw a bit more." The father remembered this deed; that extra half ladle of food, those few extra pieces of meat, became his unspoken gratitude. After leaving the pediatric department, Cao Yingjuan successively worked in the blood purification department, organ transplant department, and general surgery department. In the day-after-day perseverance, Cao Yingjuan came to understand the true essence of nursing:"Nursing is an extremely meticulous and thorough guard, it is empathy that puts oneself in another's position, and it is holding on with every ounce of strength."
"Nursing is a lifelong process without end; there is still so much potential worth digging deep into." In 2006, with funding from the China Scholarship Council, Cao Yingjuan went overseas as a visiting scholar. After returning, she grounded herself in the realities of the nursing frontline and made more innovative explorations—
She introduced the concept of evidence-based nursing, led the establishment of the first provincial-level evidence-based nursing professional committee in northern China, and led the development of national-level nursing group standards; she delved deeply into teaching reform, and the course "Medical Quality and Patient Safety" that she presided over was selected for the second batch of national online demonstration courses for professional degree graduate students in medicine…
"The warmth of nursing should not be confined by the walls of the ward."
Since 2020, Cao Yingjuan has served as the captain of the Qilu Hospital Nightingale Volunteer Nursing Service Team, leading the team to deliver professional nursing care to more communities and villages. "The warmth of nursing should not be confined by the walls of the ward." Cao Yingjuan said. Some elderly people could not understand the instructions or remember the usage, and would take medication by feel all year round. Cao Yingjuan would sit on the edge of the earthen kang in their farmhouses, sorting out the pills one by one and labeling them clearly. An elderly person living alone on the outskirts of Jinan had a leg wound that repeatedly ulcerated, and whose children were not by his side. Cao Yingjuan went to his home again and again, squatting down to debride the wound and change the dressings, persisting for several months, until the wound that had festered for years slowly healed. The old man was not good with words; every time Cao Yingjuan came, he would only tremblingly take her hand and refuse to let go for a long time.
"Some people think that doing volunteer service means we are the ones giving, but in fact we gain even more. Being needed is also a form of healing." Cao Yingjuan said. This warmth has also crossed mountains and seas, reaching places farther away—
Over these years, under the unified arrangements of the relevant departments of Shandong University, Cao Yingjuan has helped medical schools and hospitals in Tanzania, Pakistan, and other countries formulate targeted assistance plans. "Love bestowed will be returned (爱出者爱返, ai chu zhe ai fan - "love given is love returned"); that faint light I received from my mother's hands, I want to pass it on, bit by bit, to places farther away." She said.
Cao Yingjuan recounted a memory etched deep in her mind—
One time in the early morning, she braved heavy snow to rush to the hospital and participate in the rescue of a boy. After he was out of danger, the boy's father choked up as he thanked her; before the words even reached his lips, the tears rolled down first. When she got home, it was already past 2 a.m.; she looked up at the stars in the sky, anda warmth welled up in her heart. At that moment, she was deeply convinced:"In this life, I am willing to be a star, sending a stretch of light to accompany life on its journey."
Return to TopThis newspaper, Yinchuan, September 2 (Reporter Qin Ruijie). On September 1, the 30th Joint Meeting on Fujian-Ningxia Cooperation was held in Yinchuan. At the meeting, the two provinces/regions respectively introduced the progress of economic and social development and the advancement of Fujian-Ningxia cooperation work since the 29th Joint Meeting, and signed the minutes of the 30th Joint Meeting on Fujian-Ningxia Cooperation. The two provinces/regions stated that, over the past 30 years, Fujian-Ningxia cooperation has blazed a correct path of deepening east-west regional cooperation, promoting coordinated regional development, and advancing common prosperity, and also blazed a wide and easy path to success (康庄大道, kang zhuang da dao - "broad, smooth road") of the developed regions helping the less developed ones (先富帮后富, xian fu bang hou fu -"first rich, help later rich"), the east assisting the west, and coordinated national-level strategic planning (全国一盘棋, quan guo yi pan qi -"whole nation, one chessboard"). The two provinces/regions will summarize and apply the beneficial experience of Fujian-Ningxia cooperation, further improve the cooperation mechanism, optimize cooperation methods, expand cooperation fields, continuously promote industrial complementarity, strengthen personnel interaction, deepen mutual learning in technology, promote mutual exchange of concepts, reinforce mutual learning of work styles, and join hands to create a "upgraded version" of Fujian-Ningxia cooperation in the new era.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Fujian-Ningxia cooperation. Over the past 30 years, Fujian-Ningxia cooperation took the lead in establishing the provincial-regional joint meeting system, took the lead in establishing the pairing assistance mechanism between cities and counties, took the lead in mutually dispatching cadres for temporary posts and exchanges, promoting Fujian-Ningxia cooperation to develop from one-way assistance and support into a long-term strategic cooperation with complementary advantages and mutual benefit and win-win results (互惠共赢, hu hui gong ying -"mutual benefit, win-win"), creating a vivid model of east-west cooperation. This joint meeting, held in Yinchuan, is of great significance for promoting Fujian-Ningxia cooperation to advance toward a higher level and higher standard, further deepening east-west cooperation, continuously consolidating and expanding the poverty alleviation campaign (脱贫攻坚, tuo pin gong jian -"relieve poverty, fight tough battle") achievements, and advancing the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.

At 10:00 on September 2, the 3-kilometer section of National Highway 216 from the Gyirong Port border gate that had been damaged by the disaster was finally successfully reopened. This is a road of hope; without opening it, continuing search and rescue operations would lack an important guarantee. The difficulty of the repair work was beyond imagination. Built along the deeply incised Gyirong Zangbo River canyon, on one side was a sheer thousand-ren cliff, and on the other side was a torrent with a flow rate reaching six to seven meters per second. The narrowest point of the working surface was only 3 meters, leaving large machinery unable to maneuver, an barrier lake hung overhead, and continuous rainfall could trigger landslides at any moment. For 8 days and 7 nights, they fought day and night, and the more dangerous it was, the more they advanced. In particular, the "last kilometer" became a tough battle. At different positions and different posts, rescue personnel of all sides, represented by excavator operator Huang Xun, armed police soldier Liang Ruicong, truck driver Pubu Zhaxi, and others, worked together in harmony (齐心协力, qi xin xie li - "together, unitedly, working with one heart"), fighting side by side, and with fearlessness and undauntedness (无惧无畏, wu ju wu wei - "without fear, without dread"), they built the solid foundation of this road of hope.
The obsession at the point over 1,000 meters away —
"If the road isn't open, I can't even sleep well"
There were still over 1,000 meters to go to the Gyirong Port border gate. A 40-to-50-ton excavator was parked at the riverbank, its bucket dipping into the river water, probing forward bit by bit. In the cab, Huang Xun, an excavator operator from China Anneng Chongqing Rescue Team, stared fixedly at the water surface. The river water was turbid and swift; whether what lay underwater was rocks or deep pits, he simply could not see, relying entirely on that slight feel transmitted back through the bucket. The mudslide had raised the riverbed higher than the original roadbed, leaving large machinery unable to spread out. Several excavators could only line up in a row along the the canyon, relaying materials forward to the very front. Small broken stones were dumped down, but were washed away in an instant. They switched to using large rock blocks, first building up retaining barriers in the water, then filling in smaller material to repair the roadbed. The further forward they went, the narrower the river valley became. About 1 kilometer from the port, National Highway 216 curved into a large S-bend, and the hardest section of the entire line was on this bend. The torrent came charging around the bend, ceaselessly eroding the just-filled roadbed; above, water from two waterfalls crashed straight down onto the working surface, and sprays of water mist and broken stone slapped against the windshield in waves. In the most dangerous instance, Huang Xun used the excavator bucket to hoist a large rock block, intending to place it at the outermost retaining barrier position of the bend. The rock was too heavy, and the entry point into the water was off-center; when the torrent yanked at it, the entire excavator suddenly slid toward the river side, and the front of the machine began to slip toward the river. Huang Xun did not panic; he pulled the control lever in the opposite direction, using the boom to press the center of gravity back, steadily stopping the machine. Speaking of it afterward, his tone was calm: "When I felt something was wrong, I adjusted right away."
The excavator operator following behind Huang Xun, Yu Chengyang, made hand gestures through the glass, signaling as he operated the equipment to pass materials forward. "He takes the lead; if he doesn't move, no one behind him can move either." Yu Chengyang said. On the plateau, at noon the cab was stuffy and scorching hot, and when a burst of rain came through it turned biting cold; with oxygen scarcity, after working a while one's chest felt tight. "People rest, but the machines never stop" — Huang Xun spent over ten hours a day in the cab, having worked until past 1 a.m. the previous night, and at 6 a.m. the next morning he was back on the machine again. "If the road isn't open, I can't even sleep well; only when the road is open does my heart feel at ease." This was the obsession of Huang Xun and his colleagues.
The perseverance at the point over 500 meters away —
"I feel deeply distressed, and even more feel that rescue is extremely urgent"
There were still over 500 meters to go to the Gyirong Port border gate. On the road leading to Gyirong Port, one step down, muddy water submerged the boot tops. Pulling the boots out, they brought up a clump of mud. Only upon arriving at the scene did one realize how difficult it was for engineering machinery to operate. On the side near the river, part of the roadbed had been hollowed out underneath; engineering machinery was heavy, so it could not get too close; in some places the soil was loose, and once the tracks rolled over it, they slipped. On the mountainside side, rocks and mud were piled up in the potholes, and the machinery's buckets were too large to clean them out thoroughly. In these places where machinery could not reach or could not get at, people had to do the work. Soldier Liang Ruicong of the Armed Police Force Tibet Corps Shigatse Detachment was doing exactly this kind of work. He bent down, clearing away the mud shovel by shovel. The mud was wrapped around with broken stones, sticky and heavy. With each shovel, he had to press down hard, stepping on the back of the shovel blade with his foot to drive it in, before it could sink into the mud; mud splashed up onto his trouser legs, forming crusts of dark and light patches. Rainwater dripped down along the brim of his helmet, and the back of his camouflage uniform was soaked through, impossible to tell whether it was rain or sweat. The climate in the mountain valley was changeable, and rain came as soon as it willed, yet the road repair work advanced meter by meter. No matter how exhausted, no one uttered a single word about "withdrawing."
On the day the disaster struck, Liang Ruicong was attending a detachment study session. Upon hearing the notice to support the front line, he grabbed his gear and rapidly assembled with his comrades before setting off. "Seeing the situation at the scene, I feel deeply distressed, and even more feel that rescue is extremely urgent."
At the scene, they worked in layers, excavated in sections, operated with coordinated human-machine efforts. Excavators in front, loaders behind, large machinery clearing large broken rocks, while people cleared dead corners. Soldier Li Qipu of the Armed Police Force Tibet Corps Shigatse Detachment said: "We fully bring into play our advantages of tight organization and strong assault capability, launching tough offensives on sections where the task was arduous."
When reporters first arrived at the scene on August 28, there was barely a road underfoot. Mud and broken stones were piled up into small mounds, and with every step one first had to press down firmly before taking the next step. When they came again a few days later, on this section of road, trucks and excavators could already pass side by side in both directions. As the road repair work made progress, Liang Ruicong and his comrades advanced along the river valley toward the Gyirong Port border gate area. Every few steps, the soldier at the head of the line used a iron shovel to probe the solidity of the ground beneath his feet — if the shovel sank in deep, they went around it; if it was shallow, they stepped on it firmly. No matter how bad the road was, they had to wade across it. Between the rain mist and the turbid yellow river water, camouflage green and battle-flag red appeared and disappeared in turns. The road, beneath their feet, was being leveled and extended bit by bit.
The expectation at the point over 100 meters away —
"Our home is here; disaster relief is saving ourselves"
There were still over 100 meters to go to the Gyirong Port border gate. The truck had bounced along for quite a while, finally stopping at the very front of the road repair site. Pubu Zhaxi rolled down the window, stuck his head out to look back, backed up little by little, then engaged the gear and raised the bed. The truck bed slowly lifted, and large rock blocks came pouring out with a "crash" sound. These stone materials would be used for paving the final 100 meters of the road leading to Gyirong Port. "Our home is here; disaster relief is saving ourselves." Pubu Zhaxi was a villager from Bangxing Village, Gyirong Town, Gyirong County, and over the past few days he had been getting up at 5:30 a.m. to take his truck out. Although he ordinarily also hauled broken stone and transported earth, this time was different — "these are all especially heavy, especially large rocks."
After six consecutive days of high-intensity work, the truck body had gained quite a few scratches and dents, and the tires had also worn considerably. He noticed it, but had no time to feel distressed over it. The material pickup point was located at a temporarily opened-up site at the foot of the mountain. The excavator loaded large rock blocks into the truck bed shovel by shovel, while Pubu Zhaxi stood beside the truck watching, occasionally shouting "a bit more." The fuller it was loaded, the more at ease he felt inside. During waiting intervals, he would take out his phone and scroll through constantly refreshing news feeds. "I want to know how things are going now, and I hope rescue forces can get in as soon as possible." Pubu Zhaxi raised his head, gazing toward the direction of Gyirong Port in the distance. Once loaded, he was on the road. From the material pickup point to the repair site was over 40 kilometers, mostly temporarily repaired access roads, narrow with many curves, with on one side mountain slopes that could collapse at any time, and on the other side a swift river. Pubu Zhaxi gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his body leaning slightly forward, eyes fixed on the road ahead. He did not dare drive fast, nor did he dare stop. When meeting an oncoming vehicle, the two trucks would little by little find a spot to squeeze past each other, with rearview mirrors almost scraping against the mountainside. In a single day, he could only make two or three round trips, but by quitting time it was often already late at night. The headlights lit up a short stretch of road ahead, and the low rumbling sound of the engine accompanied him on the way back. At the front line of road repair, there were many local truck drivers like Pubu Zhaxi. They set aside their own work and actively threw themselves into emergency rescue and disaster relief. "Almost there, almost there — put in a bit more effort and it will be open." Steadying the steering wheel, Pubu Zhaxi engaged the gear and set off once again.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 2) (Reporter Yan Yiqiao) Recently, the world's first space computing cloud to provide on-orbit experimental services to external parties, led and constructed by Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, officially began providing on-orbit computing services on a normalized basis.

It’s open!
At 10 a.m. on September 2, the land route leading to Gyirong Port was basically opened up. Rescue personnel, supplies, and equipment were thus able to accelerate their entry into the hard-hit core area. From road rush-repair to energy support, from environmental monitoring to material supply, numerous central state-owned enterprises and private enterprises pooled strength and united efforts (凝心聚力, ning xin ju li - "concentrate heart, gather strength"), providing enormous assistance to the emergency rescue and disaster relief work. No matter how hard, we must press forward.
August 26, due to a sudden debris flow disaster on the Nepalese side, Gyirong Port suffered severe damage. The final several kilometers of National Highway 216 leading to Gyirong Port were completely washed away. No matter how hard, we must press forward. Per the arrangement of the Ministry of Emergency Management, China Anneng shouldered the heavy responsibility of rush-repair. The work face was too narrow, and large machinery could not be deployed? Then use excavators to relay materials in a single-line push. The water current was too swift, and large rocks were washed away as soon as they entered the water? Then build anti-scour barriers, throw in 500-kilogram boulders, lower steel reinforcement cages, and forcibly build up a new roadbed. "On the evening of September 1, when victory was just ahead, continuous heavy rainfall caused some already-filled roadbed to be submerged again." Li Hongjun, chief commander of China Anneng Third Engineering Bureau, said. Not afraid of hardship, not discouraged. People rest, machines do not stop; shifts rotate without interruption. Relying on day-and-night hard fighting, China Anneng extended the road forward section by section. Rush-repair means to race against time (与时间赛跑, yu shi jian sai pao - "with time race run"). Safety likewise leaves no room for error (不容有失, bu rong you shi - "not allow have loss"). Laser video artificial intelligence monitoring instruments, slope radars, and drones continuously observe the mountain bodies on both sides of the newly advanced area, capturing tiny deformations in real time and assessing risk trends. In front, China Anneng is responsible for tackling hard targets; in back, numerous central state-owned enterprises guarantee logistics. Every day, fuel tankers fully loaded with diesel depart from the PetroChina Tibet Sales Gyironggou gas station, traveling 30 kilometers of mountain road to reach the front. "From 3 p.m. on August 31 to 2 a.m.on September 1, we refueled more than 70 heavy trucks in one go." said Laqiong Ciren, an employee of Tibet Sales Shigatse Branch. China Railway Construction Corporation invested 196 people and 131 sets of equipment, transporting 1,000 tons of steel reinforcement and 300 tons of road-laying steel plates; China Railway Construction Corporation raised 500 sets of gabion baskets, 400 kilograms of binding wire, and 600 pieces of bamboo plywood; China Communications Construction Group executed road disaster assessment and material processing; China State Construction Engineering Corporation assisted in analyzing structural safety of buildings……
Wherever the road was repaired, electricity and communications networks were connected.
Electricity is the "vanguard" of rescue.
After the disaster struck, State Grid immediately organized an expert team, with rush-repair personnel, power generation vehicles, and lighting equipment assembling overnight under the stars. The road was being rush-repaired day and night — how was lighting to be ensured?
On the evening of August 29, two lighting drones broke through the rain curtain, hovering at an altitude of 80 meters, and the lights instantly lit up, illuminating an area of 500 square meters. "As long as the ground generator does not run out of fuel, it will not lose power." said Danzeng Langjie, an employee of State Grid Shigatse Power Supply Company. As of September 2, the lighting drones had provided services continuously for 5 days at the rescue and disaster relief site. Rush-repair of electric power facilities was also advancing rapidly. "We bury the utility poles 2 meters deep into the ground to ensure stability." introduced Puqiong, general manager of State Grid Gyirong County Power Supply Company, saying that each utility pole erection takes half an hour. Wherever the road rush-repair operations advanced, electric power lighting support followed; wherever the road was opened up, electric power lines were restored. After the debris flow disaster, ground networks were damaged — how was communications to be ensured?
Satellite communications stepped in. At 18:00 on August 26, the Wing Loong emergency communications drone took off urgently from Sichuan, and after nearly 8 hours of flight, arrived over the disaster area. Relying on stable satellite links, it opened up the command channel between front and rear. At the same time, Tibet and Shanghai cooperated, completing system configuration adjustments in just 1 minute, and overnight batch-activated Beidou satellite SMS services for emergency support personnel and disaster-affected people. In an environment with no ground network, one text message after another pierced through the clouds, becoming a "star road" for reporting safety, seeking help, and command dispatch.
Ground network rush-repair was equally swift. A 13-member Party member commando team from China Mobile, going against the current, advanced on foot. Optical cable reels piled up like small mountains pressing on their shoulders, mudwater ran down their trouser legs, yet the team members still persisted in advancing. When they slipped and fell, they climbed back up and continued forward. At 14:33 on the 27th, the Gyirong 47 boundary marker 5G base station was opened, 4 kilometers from the national gate; at 16:00 on the 28th, a portable satellite station was erected south of Jiang Village, 3 kilometers from the national gate; at 19:00 on the 28th, a nomadic base station was urgently rush-repaired, replacing the temporary portable satellite station, and public network communications at the rescue frontline were restored……
China Unicom, meanwhile, at 13:30 on the 30th, opened and put into use the first emergency base station adjacent to the national gate at Gyirong Port, successfully filling the communications blind-spot shortcoming at the border frontline. Central state-owned enterprises "step up", private enterprises"follow up"
Behind this disaster relief effort, there are many enterprises' figures. China National Building Material Group, as a member unit of the "Rain Swallow Emergency·Major Disaster UAV Emergency Cooperation Mechanism", immediately dispatched its flight crew, undertaking the real-time monitoring task for the upstream barrier lake. On August 28, the imagery brought back danger — the barrier lake's water was overflowing the dam body. The flight crew immediately issued a warning, guiding personnel to evacuate urgently, avoiding casualties caused by secondary disasters. Flying to build models by day, organizing data at night, the flight crew often held their posts until late at night, only forced to stop when rain came. The "national team" chews on "hard bones" at the front, while private enterprises weave a "supply network" at the rear.
Tencent Charity invested 20 million yuan, launching "disaster relief hour delivery"; JD Logistics dispatched trucks free of charge to transport supplies; SANY Group surveyed surrounding construction machinery and stood by……
Central state-owned enterprises"step up", private enterprises"follow up". Under the safeguard of relevant mechanisms, the government took the lead in building platforms, social organizations docked in an orderly manner, and rescue forces received ample support, pressing forward steadily toward one goal after another.

Editor's Note: This year marks the 81st anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. More than 80 years ago, the Chinese people, sharing a common enemy and a common goal (同仇敌忾, tong chou di kei - "same hatred, same enemy"), rose up in resistance, fighting for the survival of the nation, fighting for the rejuvenation of the nation, fighting for the justice of humanity. The great spirit of the War of Resistance forged in that era has been passed down unceasingly through the relay of generation after generation. General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized that we must tell well the stories of the War of Resistance and pass down the great spirit of the War of Resistance from generation to generation. The officers and soldiers of the "Liu Laozhuang Company" inherit the will of their forebears, honing their skills and strengthening the military to seek victory; the Memorial Hall of the Hundred-Regiment Offensive tells well the red stories and continues the red bloodline; the Jingyu Primary School, located in the hometown of the general, inherits the heroic spirit. On the occasion of the approaching anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance, our reporters visited these three places, and at these three spiritual landmarks, recorded a relay of spirit spanning time and space.
A Certain Brigade, 82nd Group Army, PLA Ground Force, "Liu Laozhuang Company" —
Formidable combat effectiveness is always rooted in the red bloodline
"In 1943, in order to cover the transfer of the Party, government organs and the masses of the Huaihai region, all 82 commanders and fighters of the company blocked more than a thousand enemy troops at Liu Laozhuang, fighting until the last man..." Recently, on the campus of Tsinghua University, the words of Wang Chenyu, commander of the "Liu Laozhuang Company," struck the hearts of young students. Wang Chenyu, standing on the podium, had last year, during the September 3 military parade, held high the battle flag of the "Liu Laozhuang Company" through Tiananmen Square, accepting the review of the Party and the people. Recalling the heroic deeds of the company's forebears and the awe-inspiring scene at the military parade, he said with emotion: "As long as life continues, fighting does not stop! We must surely pass down the great spirit of the War of Resistance and continue the heroic bloodline."
More than eighty years have passed, yet the brave and tenacious style of fighting has always remained the spiritual landmark of the company. Last late autumn, on the northern Mongolian grasslands. A live-force confrontation exercise entered a stalemate moment, when the exercise directing group suddenly set up a special scenario: all commanders above the rank of platoon leader of the Red Army assault detachment, the "Liu Laozhuang Company," were all "eliminated" by precision strikes. This special scenario, exceeding the plan, was precisely intended to test the actual combat level of the company's squad leaders and backbone soldiers. The officers and soldiers did not panic or hesitate. The leader of the first squad and the leader of the fourth squad immediately took over the command of the company commander and political instructor respectively, and the assistant squad leaders all filled in the positions of platoon leaders, with the chain of command instantly reconstituted. In the end, the officers and soldiers firmly planted the company flag on the high ground firmly held by the Blue Force. During the victorious return to camp, the combat vehicles drove past a steel tower, and the seven large red characters "From here to the battlefield" shone like a fire in the hearts of the officers and soldiers.
The forms of modern warfare have undergone profound changes, and the officers and soldiers of the company are clearly aware that the traditional model of holding fixed positions and launching concentrated charges can no longer adapt to the new battlefield. They have refined training subjects around concealment and protection, small-unit coordination, and rapid maneuverability, accelerating the tempering of their "combined-arms infantry" capabilities. Recently, at a training site in the Central Plains, during a battalion-level tactical exercise, facing multiple rounds of suppression by Blue Force drone reconnaissance and precision firepower, the officers and soldiers of the "Liu Laozhuang Company" dispersed their defensive positions, covered each other alternately, awaited opportunities to counterattack, successfully evaded the strikes and controlled core objectives, using actual combat to test the results of their transformation. Formidable combat effectiveness is always rooted in the red bloodline. In the "Liu Laozhuang Company," every soldier, upon joining the company, receives a dedicated combat number, starting from the 83rd, with the numbers continuously growing, yet the spirit has always remained the same. This year, on March 18, the 83rd anniversary of the martyrdom of the "82 Martyrs of Liu Laozhuang," Zhu Jingxuan, a new soldier from Liu Laozhuang, made a special trip to the martyrs' graves, conducting a special "conversation across time and space" with the martyrs: "Only when I grew up did I understand that heroes carried danger on their shoulders because in their hearts they held something more important than life — that is the nation and its people."
Wind passes through the pine forest, vows are silent. From the 83rd number to the 6707th number, this heroic company is still charging forward.
Hundred-Regiment Offensive Memorial Hall, Yangquan, Shanxi —
A "one-old, one-young" explanation team, two generations jointly passing on the red torch
In early autumn, the pines and cypresses on Mount Shinao are verdant. Inside the exhibition hall of the Hundred-Regiment Offensive Memorial Hall in Yangquan, Shanxi, a young docent wearing a red scarf stood with proper posture, telling visitors from Shanxi Institute of Technology about the beacon-fire stories of the Hundred-Regiment Offensive. "Niangzi Pass is an important pass between Shanxi and Hebei, the throat area of the Zhengtai Railway, known as the 'Ninth Pass Under Heaven'..." Walking to the exhibition panel on the fierce battle of Mount Shinao, she slowed her speaking pace, recounting in detail the heroic deeds of revolutionary forebears who gave up their families to protect the country. In order to inherit and carry forward the great spirit of the War of Resistance, the Hundred-Regiment Offensive Memorial Hall has established a long-term co-construction mechanism with Shangzhan Primary School in Yangquan City, routinely offering red-scarf docent volunteer positions. The Hundred-Regiment Offensive Memorial Hall has also built an operational model of"regular training, rotational duty, long-term practice," moving the red classroom into the revolutionary memorial hall, creating a "walking ideological and political course" at the doorstep. Currently, the Hundred-Regiment Offensive Memorial Hall is also planning to cooperate with the Yangquan Senior University, planning to select 20 students who love public speaking from the recitation class, forming a "silver-haired docent" team for the exhibition hall, promoting the "one-old, one-young" explanation team to form a combined force, with two generations jointly passing on the red torch.
"Previously, I only learned about the Hundred-Regiment Offensive in class. After becoming a docent, I went through a large amount of historical materials in the memorial hall, and only then did I truly understand how hard-won this victory was, and I cherish today's good life even more." Said Liang Yuhan, a"red-scarf docent" from Class 2, Grade 4 of Shangzhan Primary School.
Nowadays, the online exhibition hall is equally popular. The Hundred-Regiment Offensive Memorial Hall has created a VR (virtual reality) cloud exhibition hall, integrating 3D models of cultural relics with precious historical images, so visitors can scan a QR code to start a panoramic tour and listen to explanations online. Within the hall, a red digital resource repository has been built, completing the electronic archiving of more than 2,500 pieces of historical materials and 21,200 pages of red documents, enabling revolutionary cultural relics and historical materials to achieve digital preservation, laying a solid foundation for subsequent historical research. From 2025 to the present, the Hundred-Regiment Offensive Memorial Hall has received more than 1.06 million visitors from home and abroad, providing explanation services for nearly 200,000 visitors in more than 5,400 batches. "We will continue to work hard to transform the profound history of the Hundred-Regiment Offensive into easy-to-understand, heart-touching little stories, telling them to more visiting masses, and serve well as the propagators and disseminators of red culture." Said Qin Ru, curator of the Hundred-Regiment Offensive Memorial Hall.
Jingyu Primary School, Queshan County, Henan —
Telling well the stories of heroes is a required course in red education
On the slide, on one side were old photos of low, shabby thatched-roof school buildings, and on the other side were bright, clean modern classrooms. The sharp visual contrast attracted the attention of the students present. On September 2, the second day of the new semester, a themed class meeting named"Remember History, Our Generation Strives for Self-Improvement" was held at Jingyu Primary School in Queshan County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province — the alma mater of the anti-Japanese hero Yang Jingyu.
"Classmates, if you had to choose, where would you rather attend school?" Li Jun, the head teacher of Class 5, Grade 5, posed the question, triggering the students' thinking. Combining historical images, Li Jun shared the deeds of alumnus Yang Jingyu. "In the freezing cold and snow-covered wilderness, General Yang Jingyu was completely out of ammunition and food** (弹尽粮绝, dan jin liang jue -"bullets exhausted, grain exhausted"), with only tree bark, grass roots, and cotton wadding in his stomach, yet he still never surrendered." In the Exhibition Hall of the Deeds of General Yang Jingyu, "small docents," pointing at pictures and cultural relics one by one, told the stories vividly and with great expression. "Telling well the stories of heroes is a required course in the school's red education." Introduced Dong Xinfeng, vice principal of Queshan County Jingyu Primary School, saying that in recent years, the school has organized a"Jingyu Small Propaganda Team," letting heroic deeds be passed down from generation to generation. In addition, heroic stories are also integrated into daily classrooms, utilizing class meetings and safety education periods, with teachers telling in segments the stories of Yang Jingyu's youthful pursuit of learning, joining the revolution, and fighting the enemy with blood; the campus radio station regularly offers a"Jingyu Storytelling" segment, staging situational dramas, poetry recitations, red songs, etc., so that the image of heroes does not remain only in books, but can also be seen and heard.
"For many years, the school has adhered to normalized red education, exploring a distinctive education model integrating school-based textbooks, position-based education, and practical activities." Dong Xinfeng said that the school has compiled the school-based moral education reader "The Soul of Jingyu," and uses the general's statue and the school history exhibition hall as fixed moral education practice positions, with the first lesson for new students being to pay tribute to the statue and learn about the general's deeds. Nowadays, the heroic spirit has been transformed into daily actions, with more and more children vying to become red story propagators, routinely carrying out activities such as red story speeches, red textbook drama performances, paying respects to martyrs, and red study tours. "Remembering the history of the War of Resistance, I will inherit the patriotic spirit of the anti-Japanese hero Yang Jingyu, study diligently and strive forward, and in the future become a useful person to the motherland and to society." Said Zhao Ziyu, a fifth-grade student.

Message
I signed up to join the army at the age of 15, having witnessed with my own eyes the mountains and rivers shattered, the people suffering, and also having seen martyrs use their bodies of flesh and blood to build a solid Great Wall. Unfortunately, they did not live to see the prosperity and splendor of today's world, but they used their sacrifices to pave a bright and smooth road for us. I sincerely hope that the younger generation will forever remember this eventful period of history, remember all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, never forget the path we have come from, live up to our forebears, and live up to our country and families. — Yang Deshan, 97-year-old veteran of the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance
I joined the anti-Japanese guerrilla forces in 1943, and at the end of 1944 was assigned by the organization to local logistics work. At that time, the comrades on the front line were fighting bloody battles, while we accumulated military grain, mended clothes and shoes, hoping to add a bit more strength to the front. Those comrades-in-arms who charged into battle under heavy gunfire and artillery fire** (枪林弹雨, qiang lin dan yu -"gun forest, bullet rain"), many of them sacrificed without even leaving their names. Life today is lively and bustling, but I often think of the expectation in the eyes of the villagers when we delivered grain back then, and of the gun barrels worn smooth by the hands of my comrades-in-arms. Now that our country is strong and prosperous, we must guard well this hard-won peace even more. — Meng Chaoqun, 102-year-old veteran of the New Fourth Army in the War of Resistance
From fighting the Japanese in the Taihang Mountains, to the fierce battles of the Huaihai Campaign, to charging across the Yangtze River, the experience of being wounded several times and undergoing six rounds of wound debridement without anesthesia made me deeply understand that the safety of our mountains and rivers has never been a matter of course, and that this peaceful, prosperous era was won by the martyrs who went through life-threatening situations** (出生入死, chu sheng ru si -"go out of life, enter into death"). We old veterans have already grown old; I hope that the young people of the new era will always cherish a grateful heart, continue the red bloodline, and guard peace and build our homeland with a striving attitude. — Jin Hutang, 99-year-old veteran of the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance
I came through the smoke of gunfire, and when I joined the army back then, I simply wanted to rescue the wounded and heal the dying, protect our homes and defend our country. Now the country is stable and united, the common people have no worries about food or clothing, and all of this was bought with the lives of the martyrs. I cannot speak grand principles; I just want to advise the younger generations: never forget the hardships of the past. You must know how to cherish this hard-won peace, live your lives well, and guard well our country and homes. — Jing Baomei, 100-year-old veteran of the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance

Return to Top(Beijing, September 2) (Reporter Jin Xin) The reporter learned from the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission on September 2 that the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission recently organized the second phase of the "Qinglang·Rectification of Chaos in AI Applications" special campaign, focusing on prominent issues such as using AI (artificial intelligence) to produce and disseminate false information, spreading violent and vulgar content, impersonating others, and infringing on the rights and interests of minors. It deployed cyberspace affairs commissions in various localities to deepen the implementation of key rectification tasks, urged website platforms to centrally clean up all types of illegal and harmful information generated by AI, investigated and punished illegal accounts and mobile applications in accordance with the law, effectively curbed the chaos of AI-generated and AI-synthesized information content, and promoted the healthy and orderly development of AI application services. As of now, a cumulative total of more than 5.61 million pieces of illegal and harmful information have been cleaned up, more than 49,000 accounts have been investigated and punished, and more than 2,400 illegal websites, applications, and other items have been disposed of.
Since the launch of the special campaign, cyberspace affairs commissions in various localities have earnestly fulfilled their territorial regulatory responsibilities and suit local conditions (因地制宜, yin di zhi yi - "according to the place, adapt to the situation") to introduce a series of targeted governance measures. Website platforms have actively responded to the deployment arrangements of the special campaign and continuously improved the routine governance mechanism for AI content.
During the special campaign, a batch of illegal accounts and applications were dealt with. To further strengthen warning education, cyberspace affairs commissions have publicized some typical cases. These typical cases include: first, using AI to "magically alter" classics and generate "digital swill." Second, using AI to produce and disseminate false and untrue information. Third, using AI to impersonate others. Fourth, producing and disseminating violent, vulgar, and other such information. In addition, the typical cases also include AI infringing on the rights and interests of minors, using AI "hosting" to engage in online water army activities, and violations by AI product services and mobile applications.
Return to Top(Fuzhou, September 2) (Reporter Fu Wen) Reporters have learned from the Fuzhou Border Inspection Station that: from July 1 to August 30 of this year, the Fuzhou-Matsu special direct ferry services between Fujian and Taiwan (小三通, xiao san tong - "small three passes") passenger routes saw a cumulative total of more than 23,000 passenger trips, an increase of approximately 26% compared to the same summer vacation period last year, setting a new summer passenger flow high since the resumption of service in 2023.
Currently, there are two "small three passes" passenger routes between Fuzhou and Matsu: Lianjiang Huangqi to Matsu and Mawei to Matsu, with a total of 8 daily flights traveling between the two sides. After entering the summer vacation period, activities such as "Two Ma" (Mawei and Matsu) sports exchanges and cultural exchanges have been carried out successively, driving the Fuzhou-Matsu "small three passes" passenger routes to reach a peak in passenger flow. According to the Fuzhou Border Inspection Station, parent-child travel accounts for the mainstream among traveling passengers, and the number of passengers participating in study tours, exchanges, and business visits has also increased significantly compared to the past.
During the peak passenger flow period of this year's summer vacation, the Fuzhou-Matsu "small three passes" passenger routes added a total of 8 round-trip flights to ensure smooth travel for passengers, while simultaneously optimizing ticketing service processes. The Fuzhou Border Inspection Station timely added inspection channels and opened exclusive channels such as "Hand in Hand" to provide convenience for passengers traveling with many elderly people and children during family trips.
Jing Shu, head of the Third Duty Team of the Fuzhou Border Inspection Station, introduced that the Fuzhou Border Inspection Station has also established a "Dialect Companion Small Detachment" to provide assistance to some older passengers who can only speak dialects; meanwhile, a "Concentric Culture Special Zone" has been arranged at the Langqi Travel Inspection Site, featuring a "Fuzhou-Matsu Concentric" message board, a Fuzhou scenic spot check-in wall, and a Hundred Family Surnames display wall, creating a warm and comfortable customs clearance atmosphere.
The Fuzhou municipal transportation department will continue to guide enterprises to increase vessel capacity, with plans to add one new passenger vessel by 2027, further enhancing the transport capacity of the Fuzhou-Matsu "small three passes" passenger routes, providing more convenient and comfortable services for the travels of compatriots on both sides, and helping the construction of the Fuzhou-Matsu "same-city life circle" to go deeper and more practical.
Return to Top(Chongqing, September 2) (Reporter Shen Jingran) The "Special Plan for Parking Facilities in the Central Urban Area of Chongqing Municipality" was recently issued. By 2035, Chongqing's central urban area will deploy 1,570 public parking lot construction projects, adding more than 249,000 new parking spaces. At the same time, the municipal-level smart parking application "Yu Chang Ting" is undergoing intensive construction; in the future, information on 6.57 million parking spaces across the entire city will be unified and collected, allowing citizens to query parking space availability in real time via mobile phones.
This plan breaks away from the previous approach of layout based on administrative divisions, using the 15-minute community life circle (15分钟生活圈, shi wu fen sheng huo quan - "15 minutes, life, circle") as the basic unit, and dividing the central urban area into three categories: parking-strained areas, balanced areas, and surplus areas, applying policies according to these classifications. For strained areas, the focus will be on supplementary construction and strengthening management; for balanced areas, simultaneous regulation will be implemented to prevent imbalance; and for surplus areas, blind new additions will no longer be made to avoid the idling of resources. The plan also clearly distinguishes between basic parking needs and travel-related parking needs. Residents' parking when returning home at night will mainly rely on parking spaces built within residential compounds, while temporary parking needs when going out to handle affairs during the day will be met by public parking lots and on-street parking spaces, rather than relying solely on increasing the total number of parking spaces.
In response to the prominent parking conflicts in "four old" areas—namely old residential compounds, old school campuses, old hospitals, and old commercial districts—the plan proposes promoting the composite utilization of above-ground and underground spaces of public facilities such as parks, green spaces, squares, and primary and secondary schools, adding parking lots on the premise of not adding new land use. By 2028, Chongqing plans to construct 152 public parking lots around such areas with prominent conflicts, covering approximately 2 million surrounding residents.
In terms of supporting guarantees, the plan further incorporates parking lot land into the national land space "single map" to ensure the implementation of the plan through institutional means. At the same time, the introduction of professional companies to operate parking lots is encouraged to improve service efficiency. Currently, the official WeChat mini-program of the Chongqing Municipal Urban Management Bureau, "Chongqing Parking," has opened for public testing, providing functions such as parking space reservation, sharing, and reverse vehicle searching.
Return to Top(People's Daily, Changchun, September 2) (Reporter Meng Haiying) The reporter learned from a press conference held by the Information Office of the Jilin Provincial People's Government that: Jilin Province used big data technology to collect 57,000 groups and 1,017,000 items of government service affair data from across the country, and handed them to 36 government service functional departments for comparison to identify gaps, comprehensively compressing the promised processing time limits for government service affairs, optimizing approval procedures, streamlining approval materials, and reducing the number of trips required, and benchmarking to propose 720 "a set of four reduction measures" (四减, si jian - "four, reductions") improvement initiatives. At present, the reform goals proposed in the first half of the year have been basically completed, and the handling guides have been publicly displayed on the "Ji Shi Ban" online service hall. At the same time, Jilin has carried out in-depth governance of hidden links outside approval, effectively reducing the institutional transaction costs for enterprises when dealing with the government. Focusing on the stage where enterprises prepare and submit application materials when going to the government for affairs, all departments have been organized to comprehensively sort out links such as intermediary services, on-site surveys, expert reviews, hearings, and solicitation of public opinions required in approval services, and to conduct concentrated research and optimization work targeting 312 items, effectively reducing the costs for enterprises in handling affairs.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 2) (Reporter Pan Junqiang) Pedestrian greenways and waterfront walkways are exclusive public spaces for citizens to stroll, exercise, and rest. However, some non-motorized vehicles are illegally entering greenways, bringing serious safety hazards (安全隐患, an quan yin huan - "safety, hidden, danger").
Recently, the Beijing Municipal Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau coordinated and dispatched urban management law enforcement departments across the city to strengthen the intensity of law enforcement inspections, strictly investigating the behavior of riding non-motorized vehicles on pedestrian greenways and waterfront walkways. Clues regarding issues discovered during patrols, such as imperfect walkway signage, no-entry signs, and isolation facilities, are being transferred to industry management departments to urge management and maintenance units to implement their primary responsibilities.
The newly revised "Beijing Municipal Non-Motorized Vehicle Management Regulations" officially came into implementation on May 1 of this year. The new regulations clearly stipulate that non-motorized vehicles are prohibited from passing through pedestrian greenways and waterfront walkways; those who violate the regulations shall be ordered to make corrections and shall be subject to a warning or a fine of not less than five yuan but not more than fifty yuan. Beijing municipal urban management law enforcement departments remind the general public of cyclists: when riding non-motorized vehicles, please consciously abide by road traffic regulations and jointly maintain a safe, orderly, comfortable, and pleasant urban slow-traffic environment.

Owning 119 national-level manufacturing single-item champion enterprises, ranking first among cities nationwide for eight consecutive years; more than 10,000 high-tech enterprises and 511 specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative "little giant" enterprises deeply cultivating their niche fields... Ningbo, Zhejiang, was established on manufacturing and thrives on its port. It has always insisted on being down-to-earth and practical (脚踏实地, jiao ta shi di - "foot, step, solid, ground") in strengthening the real economy, tapping growth potential through technology, and expanding development space through opening up.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "No matter when the economy develops to, the real economy is always the foundation of China's economic development and of our ability to seize the initiative in international economic competition. China's economy started with the real economy, and it must also move toward the future with the real economy."
Keeping the General Secretary's instructions firmly in mind, Ningbo has always insisted on focusing the efforts of economic development on the real economy, promoting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation, building a new system of high-quality and efficient service industries, and boosting high-quality development.
Staying committed to the real economy and consolidating the foundation for real economy development
Only when the real economy is stable can the overall economic picture have confidence. Ningbo has a complete range of industries, covering 36 major industrial categories, and has cultivated 14 national-level industrial clusters, with injection molding machines, fasteners, molds, and other segmented tracks gaining national renown. In the first half of this year, Ningbo's gross regional product reached 946 billion yuan, the added value of industries above designated size grew by 8.9%, and manufacturing investment grew by 12.3%, with major indicators outperforming the national average.
The robust growth of enterprises cannot be separated from meticulous service support. Ningbo has built a three-tier service network at the city, county, and township levels, with more than 10,000 enterprise service liaisons connecting with enterprises, basically achieving full coverage of enterprises above the "four designations." Enterprise demands reach the back office directly through online platforms, forming a complete closed loop of collection, assignment, and supervision. In the first half of this year, Ningbo cumulatively disbursed 7.716 billion yuan in enterprise-benefiting funds, benefiting 31,800 enterprise-times.
High-end precision manufacturing places nearly stringent demands on the stability of infrastructure. In the production workshop of Ningbo Yongxin Optical Co., Ltd., extremely weak environmental changes such as temperature, humidity, and voltage fluctuations can leave microscopic traces on products, causing entire batches to be scrapped. Zhang Jiming, an expert from State Grid Ningbo Power Supply Company, led a team to conduct on-site surveys and customized a three-layer protection plan for the enterprise. Relying on a millisecond-level fault self-healing system and intelligent risk early-warning devices, fault handling now achieves second-level response, building a stable and reliable production foundation for precision manufacturing.
Green transformation is a mandatory question in the new industrialization. Ningbo continues to promote the green transformation of industrial enterprises above designated size, with a transformation coverage rate reaching 84.4% and 159 national-level green factories, ranking first among sub-provincial cities nationwide. With its strong industrial foundation, Ningbo was successfully selected as one of the first batch of cities to create national new industrialization demonstration zones.
Undertaking work and starting businesses — the key lies in people. Ningbo has iteratively upgraded the Yongjiang Talent Project, implemented the evaluation reform of "enterprise recognition, government acknowledgment," respected the actual talent needs of enterprises, and returned talent evaluation to the employing entities.
Integrating industry and research to unblock the bottlenecks from laboratory to production line
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "During the '15th Five-Year Plan' period, it is necessary to place the development of new quality productive forces (新质生产力, xin zhi sheng chan li - "new quality productive forces") according to local conditions in a more prominent strategic position, take scientific and technological innovation as the guide and the real economy as the foundation, insist on simultaneously promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, actively developing emerging industries, and laying out future industries ahead of schedule, and accelerate the building of a modern industrial system."
Ningbo channels resources into technological breakthroughs, fully stimulating the principal position of enterprises in innovation, and unblocking the bottlenecks from laboratory to production line.
In the first half of this year, Ningbo municipal government investment in scientific and technological innovation reached 17.63 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.4%. As a national demonstration zone for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, Ningbo focuses on promoting the integration of industry and research. Today, 90% of Ningbo's R&D institutions, 88.5% of R&D investment, and 83.9% of invention patents come from enterprises, with enterprises truly standing at the center of the innovation stage.
High-energy-level platforms have become important positions for technological breakthroughs: the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, leads the construction of the National Key Laboratory of Marine Key Materials, providing key material support for marine engineering, aerospace, and nuclear power; the Yongjiang Laboratory focuses on the field of new materials; Ningbo Eastern University of Technology has gathered a number of academicians and high-level talents to strengthen frontier scientific research forces.
Ningbo implements the "deputy director of science and technology" and "industry professor" systems, with hundreds of researchers shuttling between universities and research institutes and factories, bringing laboratory research results to the production site. Wang Shu, deputy director of the Ningbo Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, introduced: "When we introduce policies and advance reforms, we 'jump into the sea' to swim together with everyone, striving to make scientific and technological innovation truly deeply integrate with industrial innovation and accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces." In Zhenhai District, the expert team of the Zhejiang Research Institute of Tianjin University carried out joint research with Ningbo Qunli Fastener Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and the products achieved batch production, with prices more than 30% lower than similar imported products.
Artificial intelligence empowers manufacturing. In Yinzhou District, in the new energy workshop of Ningbo Shenglong Automotive Power System Co., Ltd., AI (artificial intelligence) vision equipment is conducting full inspection of rubber sealing rings. "In the past, such subtle defects could only be identified by the naked eye of veteran workers. Now, the self-developed AI model is integrated into the fully automated process, and quality defects are intercepted at the very front end of production," said Ge Qijie, a relevant person in charge of the company.
The driving force of chain-leading enterprises activates the innovation vitality of the entire industrial chain. Geely Holding Group plays a leading role, cultivating and laying out three "hidden champions" in segmented fields, opening up an innovation closed loop from underlying materials to system integration. Fotile Group deeply cultivates the kitchen appliance field, jointly conducts sustained research with scientific research institutions, has accumulated more than 17,000 authorized patents, and has achieved an upgrade from single-product manufacturing to a full-scenario smart ecosystem.
A number of emerging tracks are accelerating their momentum. The Ningbo University team conquered the technology of mud crab farming in saline-alkali land, and Ningbo Huayiningchuang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. developed the world's first single-cell metabolite analysis mass spectrometer. Embodied intelligence, hydrogen energy, and other industries are also accelerating their layout in Ningbo.
In Cixi City, the private enterprise Ningbo Tiansheng Sealing Parts Co., Ltd. has spent 34 years focusing on one thing. Company chairman Li Xinggen led the team to break the foreign monopoly on nuclear power sealing technology that had lasted half a century, achieving 100% domestic production of China's nuclear power sealing parts. This enterprise of just over 100 people has won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award and the second prize of the National Technology Invention Award, with its core products holding approximately 70% of the domestic market share.
Ningbo has 119 national-level manufacturing single-item champion enterprises, and most of them, like Tiansheng Sealing Parts, achieve "one meter wide, one hundred meters deep" in segmented fields, building a solid foundation supporting the construction of a manufacturing power.
Smoothing circulation and promoting the integrated development of industrial clusters
For manufacturing to proceed steadily and go far, it needs not only excellent products but also the support of an efficient circulation system and supporting service industries. Based on the comparative advantage of the port, Ningbo strengthens its hub functions, cultivates modern service industries, and promotes the integrated development of industrial clusters.
Ningbo Zhoushan Port is the hard-core confidence of the city's opening up. The Chuanshan port area has independently developed a terminal operating system, breaking foreign technological monopoly; the Meishan port area has built a digital twin dispatching platform, achieving full-domain visual management of the port area. Relying on the port combined with the dividend of platforms such as the pilot free trade zone and the China-CEEC Expo, producer services continue to upgrade and improve. The China (Meishan) International Cold Chain Supply Chain Project has built a cold chain hub with a leading scale in East China, with imported fresh products completing the process from arrival at port to release in as fast as 6 hours.
Advanced manufacturing calls for specialized producer services. Industrial communities, enterprise service platforms, and technology manager teams provide enterprises with all-round services in technology, logistics, finance, digital transformation, and more. Yongshuiqiao Science and Technology Innovation Center, OPC Cloud Labo, and others provide incubation soil for start-ups. The two-way empowerment of service industries and manufacturing promotes the coordinated progress of various industries.
The tide surges in the East China Sea; hard work and earnest action. Consolidating the foundation of the real economy, activating the innovation engine, and unblocking domestic and international circulation — Ningbo is striving to build a modern coastal metropolis with global competitiveness, writing a chapter of endeavor for coastal cities to serve modernization with Chinese characteristics (中国式现代化, zhong guo shi xiandai hua - "Chinese-style modernization") through down-to-earth industrial practice.

In Guiyang, Guizhou, at the Jiaxiu Tower, the crowd was extremely noisy and bustling (人声鼎沸, ren sheng ding fei - "people sounds, boiling"). Not far away, at several tea and beverage storefronts, the flow of customers was likewise unceasing. Wang Xiuyan, a tourist from Guangdong, ordered a cup of "Guiyang Iced Tea" at the tea beverage store "Quchashan," and took a light sip. The wild flavor of the prickly pear burst open on her tongue: "After the sour and astringent notes comes a sweet aftertaste; the flavor is very good. It is just like Guizhou's mountains and waters — the more you savor it, the more flavor it has!"
"Guiyang's new tea beverages are really popular online." Wang Xiuyan, while savoring her tea, comfortably admired the scenery outside the window, and spoke of her itinerary: "This time, coming to Guiyang, besides tasting delicacies and viewing scenery, I also specially set aside one day to slowly stroll through the city, slowly drink, and carefully feel the flavor of Guiyang."
Nowadays, coming to Guiyang to drink a cup of specialty beverage is becoming a must-do item for young tourists checking in at this city. "Many tourists at first merely buy a cup of milk tea to quench their thirst, but later they chase after us asking, can you open a store in their hometown?" Liu Shengjian, co-founder of "Quchashan," said that recently, among consumers, tourists from outside the province accounted for forty percent. As Guizhou's cultural and tourism market continues to heat up, what has become popular is not only new tea beverages. At the "Captain George" coffee shop on Taiping Road in Guiyang's Yunyan District, a long line always forms at the door. Wang Xintong, a tourist from Shanghai, simply sat with her companion at the street side, holding a cup of American coffee in hand, and enthusiastically shared travel anecdotes: "Guiyang really has many coffee shops — take two steps and there's one, and each has its own distinct character."
Data show that Guiyang, with a permanent resident population of over six million, has over 3,000 coffee shops, and its coffee shop density ranks among the highest in the country. Even more distinctive, Guiyang is also called "the City of Champions" by coffee enthusiasts: Peng Jinyang, chief operator of "Captain George" coffee, is the champion of the 2025 World Brewers Cup; Hu Ying, chief operator of "Dui De" coffee,is the champion of the 2015 China Barista Championship...
This city, which does not produce coffee beans, why can it stand out through coffee?
Walking into a coffee shop on Taiping Road, store manager Zu Mingfen was hand-brewing coffee for customers. Weighing beans, grinding, pouring water, steaming — the water stream was thin and steady, circle after circle. "Guiyang's city has strong inclusiveness, has many young people, and they like to accept new things." Zu Mingfen said that the city's youthful vitality and alley culture provide soil for the popularity of coffee shops. In the old alleys of DianTai Street, Wenbi Street, and Caijia Street, community coffee shops have taken root one after another. Ordering a cup of coffee, and pairing it with a portion of potato patties and tofu balls, warming the stomach and warming the heart, savoring a sense of relaxation that belongs to Guiyang, has become a new trend in fashionable living anda new travel experience.
The "fragrance" of coffee also spreads from the city to the mountains and wilds. Driving about 50 minutes from downtown Guiyang, arriving at Xiangba Lake Village in Xiuwen County, a coffee shop embedded inside a karst cave comes into view. The stone walls are rugged, stalactites hang upside down, warm light outlines the textures of the rock formations, and the aroma of coffee wafts amid mountain winds and the sound of dripping water. Store manager Lin Ziyu introduced that the store plans to launch projects such as "coffee + paddleboard" and "coffee + hiking," linking up surrounding tourism resources, to create a new integrated experience of "traditional scenic area + new business formats."
A cliff coffee shop 150 meters above the ground, the "Pubu Coffee" facing directly toward a waterfall... Coffee shops each have their own distinctive features; from a cup of beverage to an attitude toward life, the continuously enriching new business formats are creating new consumption scenarios, attracting tourists to slow down and stay longer. New beverages are becoming a new engine for the development of Guiyang's cultural and tourism industry.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 2) (Reporters: Li Xiaoqing) The reporter learned from the Ministry of Natural Resources that: China's new round of a strategic action for mineral resource breakthroughs (找矿突破战略行动, zhao kuang tu po zhan lue xing dong - "seek mineral, break through, strategic, action") has once again achieved landmark results. A major breakthrough has been made in the exploration of the copper-gold deposit in the Chating area of Xuancheng City, Anhui Province, which is expected to form a new large-scale copper-gold resource base in East China, holding major strategic significance for enhancing China's capacity to safeguard copper and gold resource security. The Chating copper-gold deposit is located in the Nanling-Xuancheng copper-gold ore concentration area of the middle-lower Yangtze River metallogenic belt, situated in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, and is a concealed porphyry copper-gold deposit with super-large-scale potential newly discovered in recent years beneath volcanic rock cover in China. The main ore body of the mining area is approximately 1.2 kilometers long and approximately 1.1 kilometers wide, with the maximum apparent thickness of the ore body in a single drill hole reaching 1,371 meters. According to preliminary estimates, the potential copper resources exceed the scale of several large copper deposits, and the potential gold resources exceed the scale of more than 10 large gold deposits.
At present, the deep ore body has not yet been fully exposed, and there remains considerable upward space for resource reserves; the associated beneficial components such as silver and sulfur can be comprehensively recovered and utilized, and once completed in the future, it is expected to be built into an ultra-large copper-gold production base in East China. In the next step, the Ministry of Natural Resources will continue to deepen the central-local-government-and-enterprise joint coordination mechanism, promote the exploration and development of strategic minerals and the increase of reserves and production, and safeguard national energy and mineral resource security.
Return to TopOn September 1, multiple coastal cities in Liaoning welcomed the "opening of the sea," as steel fishing vessels sailed out one after another from Dalian's fishing harbors to carry out fishing operations (drone photo).
In recent years, Liaoning has vigorously promoted the replacing wooden fishing boats with steel ones (木改钢, mu gai gang - "wood change steel") for marine fishing vessels by integrating policies and optimizing services, and has used this as an entry point to resolve difficulties in fishing vessel compliance, sea-going safety, fishing order, and other areas. As of July this year, Liaoning had already initiated the renovation and replacement of over 1,700 fishing vessels, effectively enhancing the safety of fishing vessel operations.

“This old building is the filming location for the movie Welcome to the Dragon Restaurant; the street in front has been used for quite a few street scenes, and around the corner is where the protagonist appears most frequently on camera…” In the Shitanjing Industrial Culture and Tourism Film and Television Town, Dawukou District, Shizuishan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, 64-year-old Ge Yihong led visitors along as she walked and talked. Tourists coming and going checked in at the retro streets, stopping to take photos in front of old factory buildings and red-brick small buildings. Ge Yihong is a native to this place (土生土长, tu sheng tu chang - "born, grow, earth, grow") Shitanjing resident, affectionately called the "Shitanjing Living Map" by crew members and tourists. When the crew came, she helped them scout locations; when tourists came, she gave voluntary commentary. "In the past, you could walk down this street all day without running into a few people; now look, cars can hardly find a place to park." Ge Yihong said with a smile. As multiple films shot here have become box-office hits, the plain industrial buildings and simple northwestern streetscapes in the productions have attracted large numbers of tourists drawn by word of mouth, following films and TV dramas to tour the mining district.
Why Shitanjing? The answer lies in its past. Shitanjing, living up to its name, produces high-quality "Taixi coal." The Shitanjing mining area was once one of the ten largest coal bases in the country laid out during the national "First Five-Year Plan" period, and later became a key area of the Northwest Third Front construction. "At that time, miners rode 'er-ba-da-gang' bicycles and rang their bells, students ran home after school, young people wore bell-bottom pants, and the streets were bustling with people (熙熙攘攘, xi xi rang rang - "crowded, bustling, noisy, noisy"), with a permanent population of over 100,000 at its peak." Ge Yihong said.
However, more than half a century of crude extraction came at a heavy ecological cost. Pits stretched in contiguous stretches, coal gangue piled up like mountains, and when wind passed, black ash filled the sky, with barely a tree or blade of grass visible across the valleys. To heal the scars on the ecology, in 2017, Ningxia launched the Helan Mountain ecological defense battle. Shizuishan shut down all coal mines within the protected area across its entire jurisdiction and banned hundreds of small, scattered, and polluting enterprises(散乱污, san luan wu - "scattered, chaotic, polluting"), with the Shitanjing mining area among them. Residents moved away one after another, the permanent population plummeted to fewer than200 people, andthe once-bustling town gradually fell silent.
Silence was not the end. Trimming slopes and lowering terraces, covering with soil and consolidating earth, planting trees and creating forests(植树造林, zhi shu zao lin - "plant, tree, create, forest"), the abandoned mining area where coal dust once blotted out the sun has been completely transformed. Barren mountains are now clothed in green, gullies have regained their verdure, and Shitanjing has welcomed a new development opportunity. Within Shitanjing's built-up area of approximately7.6 square kilometers, factory buildings, dormitories, schools, old streets, and stations from the1960s through the1990s survive intact in contiguous stretches, forming a complete industrial mining district relic that is"rare nationwide and unique in Ningxia." The original, unaltered old buildings, the weathered and weighty industrial style, paired with the vast, bleak Gobi mountain landscape of the Helan Mountains, require no large-scale set construction or renovation to suit shooting of realism, military, and other genres, making it a"natural film and television studio."
"The scenes here are pristine, the atmosphere is full, you can set up the camera and start shooting the moment the equipment is in place, preserving the authentic texture of the era to the greatest extent." Said Zhu Yuhong, director of the Dawukou District Culture, Sports, Tourism, Radio, and Television Bureau. Since the transformation and development began, the site has successively hosted shooting of58 film and television works, including Minning Town, My Father, Jiao Yulu, Home Coming, and Welcome to the Dragon Restaurant. Movies went viral, and traffic poured in. The mining roads that once carried coal have become internet-famous walking trails for sightseeing and check-ins; old factory buildings idle for years have turned into popular photo spots for tourists; and the small green train that once carried miners in and out of the mining area has now become the"Shitanjing" tourist train.
"In the past, people came here to dig coal and make a living; now, people come here to chase light and shadow and enjoy the scenery." Ge Yihong said. Relying on the cultural tourism popularity of the film town, she has also opened a restaurant, with stills from productions hanging on the walls and old objects displayed in cabinets, "with daily revenue reaching as high as2,000 yuan."
Shitanjing has also built an actor apartment complex and a film and television central kitchen, cumulatively supplying various crews with over13,000 person-times of local extras; and it regularly hosts featured events such as the Helan Mountain automobile and motorcycle off-road race and the Taohuadu landscape tour... "We will continue to use film and television IP as the entry point, promote the revitalization and utilization of industrial relics, extend and develop business formats such as off-road racing, cultural tourism and study tours, film and television shooting, and immersive experiences, enrich consumer experience scenarios, improve the upstream and downstream industry chain, and convert short-term film and television popularity into a long-term pillar for the development of the region-wide cultural tourism industry." Zhu Yuhong said.

Xi Jinping's thought on Party building is rich in connotation, rigorous in logic, complete in system, and integrated in substance and application, having formed a scientific system with the Fourteen Principles for upholding the leadership of the CPC (十四个坚持, shi si ge jian chi - "fourteen persistences") as its fundamental framework or backbone of a system (四梁八柱, si liang ba zhu -"four beams, eight pillars"). Ranking first among the Fourteen Principles is "upholding that the leadership of the Party is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics." This "upholding" creatively enriched and developed the Marxist theory of political party leadership, prominently emphasized the extreme importance of Party leadership in the development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively and three-dimensionally expounded the core status and major mission and responsibility of Party leadership, and provided scientific guidance for advancing the great new project of Party building in the new era and upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership.
The Creative Development of the Marxist Theory of Political Party Leadership
Upholding the leadership of the Marxist political party over the proletarian revolutionary cause is an important component of Marxist party-building theory. At the time of founding scientific socialism and establishing the communist party organization, Marx and Engels profoundly revealed the objective laws and essential requirements of the proletarian revolution and human emancipation, emphasizing that to accomplish the historical mission of overthrowing the old system and emancipating all mankind, the proletariat must first form a proletarian political party guided by scientific theory, possessing advanced nature and purity, rely on the Party's strong leadership to unite class strength, unite the masses' strength, clarify the direction of advance, and realize lofty ideals. The Marxist theory of political party leadership clarified the Party's leadership status and mission tasks, and established the scientific socialist basic principle of upholding proletarian political party leadership.
The Communist Party of China has always upheld the Marxist theory of political party leadership and the basic principles of scientific socialism, and has carried out creative development based on China's realities and the characteristics of the times. Over the past 105 years, our Party has always run upholding and strengthening Party leadership through the entire long historical process of revolution, construction, and reform, and with the scientific attitude and innovative courage of emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts (实事求是, shi shi qiu shi -"seek truth from facts"), upholding correctness and pursuing innovation (守正创新, shou zheng chuang xin -"uphold integrity, innovate"), has continuously formed new achievements in practice, system, and theory that fit China's realities and manifest the characteristics of the times. Based on the Party's history of development, especially the vivid practice of exercising full and rigorous self-governance of the Party (全面从严治党, quan mian cong yan zhi dang -"comprehensively strict party governance") in the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping creatively put forward the major thesis that "the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics," deepening the law-based understanding of the intrinsic connection between the Marxist political party and socialism, and making an original contribution to developing the Marxist theory of political party leadership.
This original thesis elevated Party leadership from a political principle to an institutional essence, and from practical experience to scientific theory. It not only emphasizes that the Party is the leading force of the socialist cause, but also, from the height of the essential attributes of socialism, defines Party leadership as the fundamental marker and essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In Volume I of Selected Works of Xi Jinping on Party Building, in the article "The Most Essential Feature of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Is the Leadership of the Communist Party of China," General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The biggest national condition of China is the leadership of the Communist Party of China. What is Chinese characteristic? This is Chinese characteristic!" The features and advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics are concretely embodied in various aspects such as the path, theory, system, and culture, among which, Party leadership is the most important and most essential feature, and all other features are determined by this essential feature, all form, develop, play their role, and manifest their advantages under Party leadership. With mighty truth force, this major thesis embedded Party leadership into the essential features of socialism and the superiority of the system, creatively enriched and developed the Marxist theory of political party leadership, firmly established Party leadership's commanding status and decisive role among all the features of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and demonstrated Xi Jinping's thought on Party building's historical contribution and epochal elevation to Marxist party-building theory and scientific socialist theory.
Upholding Party Leadership Is of Decisive Significance for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics
"Upholding that the leadership of the Party is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics" is both a profound answer to why we were able to create brilliance in the past, and a scientific guide for how we can continue to create brilliance in the future. With the broad vision of a grand view of history, it expounds, through the connection of history, reality, and future, the extreme importance of Party leadership for socialism with Chinese characteristics. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the fundamental premise for the creation and development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the fundamental guarantee for scientific socialism advancing steadily and far in China. Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has shouldered the dual historical tasks of "saving the nation from subjugation" and"national rejuvenation," not only creating a "world miracle of revolution," but also creating a "world miracle of development," promoting earth-shaking changes in the country's appearance. Based on China's national conditions and the characteristics of the times, upholding the lofty ideal of communism and the basic principles of scientific socialism, the Party united and led the people through long-term revolutionary struggle, established a new China where the people are masters of the country, established the basic socialist system, and laid the fundamental premise for creating socialism with Chinese characteristics. Entering the new period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction, the Party made correct choices at major historical junctures, faced complex internal and external environments and multiple development challenges, united and led the people in breaking down institutional and mechanistic shackles, liberating and developing social productive forces, promoting rapid economic development and long-term social stability, demonstrating outstanding leadership. Entering the new era, facing the strategic overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the major changes unseen in a century worldwide, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core oversees the overall situation, strategizes at the command center, won the largest battle against poverty in human history, comprehensively built a moderately prosperous society, coordinated development and security, steadily advanced high-quality development, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, with an irresistible momentum, has entered an irreversible historical process. History has proven with irrefutable facts that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the conscious and firm choice of the people of all ethnic groups, is the historical necessity for the flourishing development of scientific socialism in China, and is the fundamental premise for the founding, creation, advancement, and expansion of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership is the strategic need and fundamental guarantee for prospering and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics on the new journey. In Volume I of Selected Works of Xi Jinping on Party Building, in the article "Ensuring the Party Always Remains the Strong Leadership Core of the Cause of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics," General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The whole Party must enhance its sense of urgency and responsibility, firmly grasp the general requirements of Party building, continuously improve the Party's leadership level and governance level, improve its ability to resist corruption, prevent degeneration, and withstand risks, so that our Party, in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation, always stays at the forefront of the times, in the historical process of responding to various domestic and international risks and tests, always remains the mainstay of the people of the whole country, and in the historical process of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, always remains a strong leadership core." Today, the major changes unseen in a century are accelerating, international power dynamics are undergoing profound readjustment, and the complexity, severity, and uncertainty of the international environment have risen markedly; domestically, the tasks of reform, development, and stability are arduous and heavy, and economic and social development faces new risks and challenges, with "unpredictable, high-impact events" (黑天鹅, hei tian e -"black swan") and"highly probable, high-impact threats" (灰犀牛, hui xi niu -"gray rhino") events possibly occurring at any time. The more critical the moment, the more necessary it is to have a strong leadership core to grasp the direction, command the overall situation, and unite strength. As General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized:"If the Party is strong and powerful, and the Party maintains flesh-and-blood ties with the people, the country will be prosperous and stable, and the people will be happy and well-being." We must fully and deeply understand the extreme importance of upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership, deeply comprehend the decisive significance of the core CPC formulation on Xi's status and Xi Jinping Thought (两个确立, liang ge que li -"the two establishments"), strengthen the four consciousnesses in Party building (四个意识, si ge yi shi -"four consciousnesses"), firm up the four confidences in the path, theory, system, and culture (四个自信, si ge zi xin -"four confidences"), and achieve upholding the core and the Party's centralized authority (两个维护, liang ge wei hu -"two maintenances"), ensuring that the Party's leadership core status is as firm as a rock.
Upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership is a fundamental issue bearing on the future and destiny of the Party and the country. Before the 18th National Congress of the Party, some people had vague understanding and weak action regarding upholding Party leadership, and Party leadership was weakened, hollowed, diluted, and marginalized in some situations, with some Party members and cadres' political beliefs wavering, privilege thinking and privilege phenomena serious, and corruption problems shocking. These problems severely weakened the Party's creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness, damaged the Party's flesh-and-blood ties with the masses, and constrained the development of the Party's and country's cause. Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinpingat its core, with great historical initiative, tremendous political courage, and strong sense of responsibility, has unequivocally upheld and strengthened the Party's overall leadership, releasing a strong signal that it must not only "uphold" but also "strengthen," not only "lead" but also "lead comprehensively." This major shift fundamentally corrected the erroneous tendency of Party leadership being weakened, hollowed, diluted, and marginalized, made the authority of the Party Central Committee and its centralized, unified leadership strongly guaranteed, continuously improved the system of Party leadership, made Party leadership methods more scientific and effective, and made the whole Party more unified in thought, more united in politics, and more consistent in action. Practice has fully shown that whether Party leadership can be upheld and strengthened directly bears on the future and destiny of the Party and the country, and directly bears on the rise or fall, success or failure of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, our Party has ensured the comprehensive implementation of Party leadership with solid institutional support and legal guarantees. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinpingat its core has not only, theoretically, elevated Party leadership into the core element of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, but also elevated major theoretical innovation achievements to the level of intra-Party regulations and national laws, building a solid institutional support and legal guarantee for Party leadership. In 2017, the 19th National Congress of the Party wrote "the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and is the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics" into the Party Constitution, establishing the Party leadership system in the form of the Party's fundamental law; in 2018, the first session of the 13th National People's Congress wrote "the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics" into the Constitution, achieving a high degree of unity among the Party's propositions, the will of the state, and the wishes of the people, conducive to strengthening Party leadership consciousness among all the people, and conducive to implementing Party leadership throughout the entire process and all aspects of national work. Since then, the Party's guiding ideology, major historical resolutions, and major strategic deployments have all stipulated and emphasized upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership as the primary content and fundamental principle. Through a series of efforts, upholding Party leadership not only holds a commanding and leading position in the Party's scientific theoretical system, but also has obtained strong institutional support and legal guarantees; it not only possesses moral legitimacy and practical rationality, but also possesses jurisprudential authority and institutional stability.
We Must Unswervingly Uphold and Strengthen the Party's Overall Leadership
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out:"The most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and the Communist Party of China is the highest political leadership force." "The most essential feature," "the greatest advantage," and"the highest political leadership force" concisely summarize the status and role of Party leadership in the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The three are logically interconnected and practically mutually supportive, comprehensively and three-dimensionally deeply expounding the connotation and requirements of upholding Party leadership, providing fundamental guidance and clarifying the direction of development for advancing the great new project of Party building in the new era and upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership.
"The most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China," from the essential level, clarifies the institutional underpinning and development direction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. What the essential feature manifests is the qualitative stipulation that distinguishes one thing from other things. Defining the leadership of the Communist Party of China as the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics means that Party leadership constitutes the fundamental distinction between the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and capitalist systems and other social systems. The formulation of "the most essential feature" indicates that socialism with Chinese characteristics fundamentally upholds the important principle of scientific socialism regarding upholding Marxist political party leadership, and is socialism, not some other kind of ism. This requires that, in the process of developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must always maintain a high degree of theoretical sobriety and political firmness, unswervingly uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership, uphold truth, adhere to ideals, discern historical laws, grasp historical trends, master historical initiative, firmly walk on the historically correct path, and at all times, under any circumstances, adhere to the principled bottom line of scientific socialism, not be disturbed by erroneous ideological trends, not waver due to changes in the external environment, and always achieve unchanging nature, unchanging color, undispersed soul, correct direction, and undeviating path.
"The greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China" not only theoretically positions Party leadership from the perspective of institutional attributes, but also practically confirms Party leadership from the perspective of institutional effectiveness. A prominent feature of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the establishment of Party leadership as this fundamental leadership system, with the Party always in the core leadership position of overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties, vividly described as "to surround someone with great admiration" (众星捧月, zhong xing peng yue -"stars surrounding the moon"), with all systems forming an organic whole of systematic integration and coordinated synergy under the Party's unified leadership. In the great chess game of the national governance system, the Party Central Committee is the "commander-in-chief" sitting in the central command tent, playing the core leadership role of setting the single authority and rallying all directions in complex situations, with all forces, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, unifying thought, unifying will, unifying action, with chariots, horses, cannons, and pawns each displaying their strengths, striving forward toward a common goal. Party leadership endows the socialist system with Chinese characteristics with strong resilience and adaptive effectiveness. Whether in responding to sudden major tests like the epidemic, or in withstanding complex and severe external environmental shocks, our Party is able to rapidly convert institutional resources into governance effectiveness, forming a work situation of unified command, comprehensive deployment, and three-dimensional response, forming the mobilization capacity to concentrate efforts on major tasks, the coordination capacity to coordinate reform, development, and stability, and the combat effectiveness to rapidly and collaboratively respond to risks and challenges.
"The Communist Party of China is the highest political leadership force" prominently emphasizes that, in today's China, there is no political force greater than the Communist Party of China. In Volume I of Selected Works of Xi Jinping on Party Building, in the article "The Most Essential Feature of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Is the Leadership of the Communist Party of China," General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized:"The entire country/territory (东西南北中, dong xi nan bei zhong -"east, west, south, north, center"),the five sectors of society under Party leadership (党政军民学, dang zheng jun min xue -"Party, government, military, people, academics"),the Party leads everything." "The highest political leadership force" marks the Party's highest, most authoritative, and most core political status in the national political system, not only emphasizing the Party's governing status, but also highlighting the Party's supreme commanding status in the national political architecture. This status is jointly determined by the Party's nature and purpose, the historical development of modern China, and the institutional logic of socialism with Chinese characteristics. On this major issue of right and wrong, we must be clear-cut, firm in stance, and speak with confidence, and must never be shy, vague, evasive, or engage in self-numbing. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the foundation and lifeline of the Party and the country, and the interests and destiny of the people of all ethnic groups in the country. It must be implemented into the practice of the cause of the Party and the country, embodied as the Party's comprehensive leadership over various fields and aspects such as economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization construction, and embodied as the Party's whole-process leadership over reform, development, and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs, and national defense, and Party governance, state governance, and military governance.
To comprehensively implement Xi Jinping's thought on Party building, we must unswervingly uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership. First, we must uphold the Party's leadership over all work. Party leadership is comprehensive, systematic, and holistic, and must be embodied in all aspects of economic and social development. No field, no aspect, no link may be hollowed or weakened. As General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized:"Strengthening the Party's leadership over all work—this requirement is not empty or abstract, but must be implemented and embodied in all aspects and all links." Second, we must uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and its centralized, unified leadership. This is "a major party-building principle of a mature Marxist governing party," is the highest principle and first requirement of upholding Party leadership, and at all times, under any circumstances, must not be ambiguous or wavered. We must be politically clear-minded people, consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinpingat its core in thought, politics, and action, ensure the whole Party's unified will, unified action, and advance in lockstep, condensing into "a solid piece of steel." Third, we must continuously improve the Party's governing capacity and leadership level, especially the capacity to set direction, plan the overall situation, formulate policies, and promote reform. For the vast number of Party members and cadres, especially leading cadres, setting direction is the primary political capacity. Only by firmly grasping the correct political direction, always upholding Marxist guidance, and upholding the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, can we distinguish right from wrong and stand firm in stance in the face of complex situations; planning the overall situation reflects strategic vision and systematic thinking. Only by establishing an overall situation concept, basing ourselves on the present and planning for the long term, can we achieve coordinated progress and overall leap in various undertakings; formulating policies is a key means for the Party to govern the country. Only by making decisions more in line with grassroots realities and meeting the needs of the masses, can we empower high-quality development with scientific decision-making; promoting reform is an important path to unblock bottlenecks and difficulties in development. Only by continuously strengthening the capacity for reform and tackling tough issues, daring to eliminate institutional and mechanistic drawbacks, can we continuously release development vitality and inject an inexhaustible internal driving force into Chinese modernization. Fourth, we must unswervingly advance to exercise full and rigorous self-governance of the Party (全面从严治党, quan mian cong yan zhi dang -"comprehensively strict party governance")with perseverance, forge the Party stronger, purer, more capable, and more excellent with thorough self-revolutionary spirit, forever maintain the Party's advanced nature and purity, and ensure that the Party always remains in the core leadership position of overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties. We must adhere to using the Party's innovative theory to unite hearts and forge souls, thoroughly implement the Party's organizational line for the new era, build a cadre team that is loyal, clean, and responsible, promote the normalization and long-term effectiveness of work style construction, place discipline construction in a prominent position, advance the anti-corruption struggle in depth, and promote in an integrated manner the three-pronged approach to anti-corruption (不敢腐不能腐不想腐, bu gan fu bu neng fu bu xiang fu -"not dare, cannot, not want corruption").
To govern the country, one must first govern the Party; only when the Party thrives can the country be strong. On the new journey of the new era, we must adhere to the fundamental position that the Communist Party of China is the highest political leadership force, take upholding Party leadership as the highest political principle, unswervingly uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership, persevere unremittingly (驰而不息, chi er bu xi -"gallop without ceasing")in advancing full and rigorous Party self-governance, grasp the direction in political leadership, unite consensus in ideological guidance, build a solid foundation in organizational guarantees, temper skills in capacity support, and hold the bottom line in disciplinary constraints, ensuring that the Party always remains a strong leadership core for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

To create political achievements for the people and through solid work, it is always inseparable from planning affairs and doing affairs. Planning affairs means making scientific decisions, setting the direction, and setting the thinking; doing affairs means working hard and realistically, implementing implementation, and seeking practical results. Only by organically unifying planning affairs and doing affairs can political achievements stand firm and withstand scrutiny. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "A correct view of political achievements requires us to proceed from reality, act in accordance with laws, and through scientific decision-making and hard, realistic work, create achievements that can withstand the test of practice and history, truly benefit the people, and be recognized by the masses." At present, the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan" has already passed half of its course, and the study-education on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements has basically concluded. It should be recognized that this study-education is not an endpoint but a new starting point. Establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements is a long-term task, and it is necessary to persevere in a long-term endeavor (久久为功, jiu jiu wei gong - "long time, long time, exert, work"). Whether learning is deep or not, whether examination is accurate or not, whether rectification is thorough or not, ultimately depends on whether the results of the study-education can be consolidated and expanded, transformed into the methods of planning affairs and the practical effectiveness of doing affairs. In reality, some Party members and leading cadres do not lack enthusiasm for doing affairs, but lack the ability to plan affairs: they are accustomed to using "how it was done in the past" to deduce "how it should be done now", using "how it is done elsewhere" to decide "how this region should do it"; when they see a trend, they rush in, eager to learn without considering whether conditions are met, regardless of whether the soil and water agree with them. This kind of to mimic blindly without understanding (依样画葫芦, yi yang hua hu lu - "according to, pattern, draw, gourd") saves the effort of investigation and research, but plants the hidden danger of to be ill-suited to a new environment (南橘北枳, nan ju bei zhi - "south, orange, north, bitter orange"). "Planning" accurately relies on a profound understanding and accurate grasp of objective laws. This requires leading cadres, before making decisions, to first find out the real situation, listen to the demands of all parties, and find the "optimal solution" through repeated comparison and weighing of pros and cons; it also requires leading cadres to have strategic vision, systematic thinking, to see through short-term fluctuations and discern long-term trends, neither acting blindly nor hesitating. Only when the situation is thoroughly understood, the direction accurately identified, and the laws mastered, can decisions be scientific and actions have confidence.
The scientific nature of a decision does not mean the natural success of the undertaking. General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized many times: "Socialism is achieved through doing; the new era is achieved through striving." Whether political achievements can truly benefit the people and be recognized by the masses, hard work and realistic work are important paths. Hard work does not mean reckless action or chaotic action, still less making superficial gestures or engaging in to show off superficial skills without substance (花拳绣腿, hua quan xiu tui - "flower, fist, embroidered, leg"); bitter work also does not mean blindly charging ahead without counting costs, but rather persistently exerting effort with resilience and determination, to persevere in a long-term endeavor. Many tasks cannot show results in a very short period of time (一朝一夕, yi chao yi xi - "one, morning, one, evening"); if one is to be impetuous and restless (心浮气躁, xin fu qi zao - "heart, float, breath, restless") and eager for quick success, one will fall into the pattern where a new official ignores previous debts or issues (新官不理旧账, xin guan bu li jiu zhang - "new, official, not, manage, old, account") and "flipping the pancake"-style tossing; if one is to avoid difficult tasks and take easy ones (拈轻怕重, nian qing pa zhong - "pick, light, fear, heavy") and evade contradictions, one will miss development opportunities while waiting and watching. True doing affairs, after recognizing laws and clarifying direction, is to use the vigor of to show great determinationand leave a lasting impact (踏石留印、抓铁有痕, ta shi liu yin, zhua tie you hen - "step, stone, leave, imprint, grasp, iron, have, trace"), to break down established thinking and goals into concrete tasks that are operable and checkable, to hammer one blow after another, to advance node by node, not relaxing because results are slow to appear, not retreating because difficulties are many.
Planning affairs and doing affairs are not two successive stages, but an organic whole in which each depends on the other and penetrates the other within the same practical process. Unifying planning affairs and doing affairs organically means letting decisions rush toward real work, letting real work have scientific guidance, accepting testing in real work, discovering problems, dynamically correcting, and continuously deepening the understanding of laws in hard work, raising the level of planning affairs. This is both the practical philosophy of the unity of knowledge and action (知行合一, zhi xing he yi - "know, act, combine, one") and the concrete application of dialectical materialist epistemology. In the key stage of the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan", this dialectical thinking is especially needed. Formulating policies must adhere to adapting measures to local conditions, to the specific matter, and to the time; one cannot simply benchmark against others or add layers of pressure; industrial layout needs to focus on intensive cultivation, and one cannot engage in homogeneous competition where everyone rushes in; investment attraction must be based on comparative advantages, not "everything picked into the basket is a vegetable", truly moving the gate of planning affairs forward and grasping the process of doing affairs firmly. In the digital-intelligence era, higher requirements are placed on planning affairs and doing affairs. Those skilled in "planning" must be skilled in using data perception and algorithm deduction to study trends and predict effects, letting decisions be built on a deeper understanding of laws; those skilled in "doing" should fully leverage large models and other tools for precise tracking, discovering bottlenecks at the first moment, calibrating deviations, making execution have a basis to rely on and correction have a clear target.
Establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements is an eternal subject, and "planning" accurately and "doing" solidly also have no end. The more complex the environment and arduous the tasks, the more one must calm down and steady one's spirit, both doing practical livelihood matters that the masses can see and touch, and also being willing to plant trees for future generations, lay foundations for the future, doing more "latent achievements" that build foundations and benefit the long term, turning the "construction drawing" into the "real scene painting" step by step, and with the outstanding achievements of "planning" accurately and "doing" solidly, writing a new chapter for Chinese-style modernization (中国式现代化, zhong guo shi xiandaihua - "China, style, modernization").

The basic path for developing new quality productive forces (新质生产力, xin zhi sheng chan li - "new, quality, production, force") is scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and intellectual property protection plays an important role in this process. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: "We must improve the intellectual property protection system and break down the barriers to the flow of innovation factors among universities, research institutes, and enterprises." The outline of the "15th Five-Year Plan" proposes "improving the intellectual property protection system in emerging fields and improving the public service system for intellectual property and the service platform network for technology trading." Not long ago, the "15th Five-Year Plan for Intellectual Property Protection and Utilization" issued by the State Council proposed "increasing the supply of intellectual property that promotes the development of new quality productive forces" and made specific arrangements. Seizing the key links to improve the intellectual property protection system is of great significance for stimulating the vitality of innovation and creation and accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
Intellectual property is a strategic resource for national development and a core element of international competitiveness. For scientific and technological innovation, the intellectual property protection system provides rule-of-law safeguards and stable expectations, ensuring that the achievements of innovation entities are not infringed upon, thereby stimulating the innovation motivation of enterprises and scientific research institutions. Through multiple forms of protection for patent rights, trademark rights, copyright, rights in new plant varieties, and the like, the intellectual property protection system can connect the links of confirmation of rights, pricing, trading, and allocation of innovation achievements, promote the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements from intangible assets into tangible returns, form a virtuous cycle, and promote sustained R&D investment and technological breakthroughs.
Since the beginning of the new era, our Party has placed the improvement of the intellectual property protection system in a more prominent position, introduced a series of policies and measures, and promoted a vigorous development trend in China's intellectual property field, with a large number of high-value intellectual property emerging, including core patents, well-known brands, high-quality geographical indication products, and high-level integrated circuit layout designs. The quality of intellectual property creation, the efficiency of utilization, the effectiveness of protection, management capacity, and service levels have continued to improve, providing strong support for stimulating the innovation vitality of the whole society and cultivating new quality productive forces.
At the same time, it must also be seen that, compared with the urgent requirements of promoting the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements so as to cultivate and develop new quality productive forces, there is still insufficient coordination between the layout of scientific and technological innovation and intellectual property protection, and the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements still faces some obstacles. For example, when developing emerging interdisciplinary disciplines, some scientific research activities do not conduct sufficient forward-looking analysis of industrial technology routes, patent competition patterns, international patent barriers, and the like, and often consider intellectual property protection and achievement transformation only after the results are formed, missing the optimal timing for patent layout. As another example, some engineering and technological achievements cannot form competitive advantage through a single-point breakthrough alone, but rather require the joint support of patent portfolios, standards and rules, application scenarios, and the like. If there is a lack of intellectual property layout at the stage of source innovation, it is easy to fall into a passive situation of technological breakthroughs, difficulty in industrial transformation, and lack of protection in competition.
At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, and artificial intelligence is flourishing, placing new and higher demands on intellectual property work. We must seize the historical opportunity, meet the challenges of the times, take removing the blockages and sticking points in the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements as an important link in improving the intellectual property protection system, and better serve the use of scientific and technological innovation to support and lead Chinese-style modernization (中国式现代化, zhong guo shi xiandai hua - "China, style, modernization").
Improve the quality of intellectual property creation and strengthen intellectual property layout. Universities and scientific research institutions are the front-line positions of scientific and technological innovation and are also the "rich mines" for the transformation and application of intellectual property. Encouraging universities and scientific research institutions to carry out joint research with enterprises and improving the pre-patent-application evaluation system centered on industrialization prospects is conducive to forming more high-value patents that meet industrial needs. It is possible to support the cultivation of a batch of original patents and high-value patent portfolios, helping enterprises efficiently obtain innovation resources and reduce innovation costs. Better leverage the guiding role of patent grant, take optimizing the intellectual property layout as an important lever for seizing the initiative in future industrial competition, and promote the deep integration of intellectual property layout with the innovation chain and the industrial chain.
Deepen the reform of the distribution of intellectual property rights and interests, and promote the transformation and application of job-related scientific and technological achievements. Continuously deepening the reform of the distribution of intellectual property rights and interests and improving the income distribution mechanism for the transformation of job-related scientific and technological achievements is conducive to further stimulating the effectiveness of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. It is necessary to follow the laws of intellectual property development, establish and improve management systems that conform to the characteristics of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, improve the intellectual property income distribution mechanism with equal rights and obligations, and take the efficiency and benefits of the transformation and application of intellectual property as an important evaluation criterion for talent assessment and professional title evaluation. Improve mechanisms such as due-diligence exemption for patent transformation, so that universities and scientific research institutions can truly let go of their ideological burdens and dispel psychological concerns in the process of patent transformation, and promote more scientific and technological achievements to move from the laboratory to the industrial chain.
Unblock the intermediate links of transformation and application, and create a sound institutional environment. From laboratory achievements to industrial application, the intermediate links of scientific and technological innovation achievements still require professional institutions and professional talents to complete technical evaluation, intellectual property assessment, and engineering verification. To this end, it is necessary to cultivate a batch of interdisciplinary intellectual property talents with scientific and technological literacy, legal literacy, and economic literacy, strengthen the supply of intellectual property rules in emerging fields, and carry out institutional research and rule reserve around frontier issues such as artificial intelligence and data elements. At the same time, strengthen intellectual property protection in an all-round way, punish infringements in accordance with the law, and form an interlinked and closely connected (环环相扣, huan huan xiang kou - "ring, ring, interlock, link"), coordinated, and efficient institutional synergy, so as to create a stable, fair, and predictable institutional environment for the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.

At 6 a.m., at an ecological aquaculture farm in Longquan Community, Changtan Town, Wanzhou District, Chongqing, a thin mist slowly dispersed across the water surface. 56-year-old fish farmer Fu Yongxiang crouched on the edge of the pond embankment, gently scattering half a handful of fish feed from his hand, sending ripples spreading across the water as dozens of four-nose carp swished their tails and rushed up to grab the food. “Look at these fish — full of spirit,” he said.
Five years ago, Fu Yongxiang could never have imagined that the fry of Shandong's Weishan Lake could swim in the pond of his home, and even "roast" his days into flourishing and prosperous (红红火火, hong hong huo huo - "red, red, lively, lively"). And all of this had to begin with a collaboration that spanned mountains and seas. In 2021, Wei Changyan, then deputy director of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Jining City, Shandong Province, was seconded to serve as deputy director of the Agriculture and Rural Committee of Wanzhou District, Chongqing. Upon first arriving in Wanzhou, he discovered that although this place possessed a grilling-fish craft passed down through generations, it faced a shortage of high-quality raw ingredients during the fishing-ban period. "Wanzhou has the craft; Jining has the good fish!" Wei Changyan immediately thought of his hometown's Weishan Lake. Weishan Lake is Shandong's largest freshwater lake, and the four-nose carp in the lake have tender flesh and delicious taste — precisely the perfect ingredient for making grilled fish. A thought took root in his mind: let the fish of Weishan Lake swim into Wanzhou's fish ponds, using the advantages of both places to boost industrial development. This idea quickly received a response from both places. Relying on nearly 14 million yuan in Shandong-Chongqing collaboration funds, 400,000 fry of Weishan Lake four-nose carp arrived at this ecological aquaculture farm in Longquan Community, Changtan Town, and Fu Yongxiang became one of the first demonstration farmers to lead the effort.
"At first, I truly had no confidence." Fu Yongxiang still remembers the anxiety when he received the fry. "Weishan Lake is a vast lake surface; ours is spring water in mountain gullies — can the fish survive?" Just as he was worrying, Jining dispatched 28 agricultural technical experts to take root in various townships of Wanzhou, from fry stocking, water quality regulation, to disease prevention and control, offering hands-on assistance, conducting technical guidance more than 120 times across Wanzhou's entire territory, and systematically training about 5,000 farmer-trainees. In Wanzhou, projects such as Fu Yongxiang's aquaculture base, once fully operational, can achieve fry breeding of more than 3 million, annual production of commercial fish exceeding 1.5 million jin, with an annual output value surpassing 25 million yuan. "Relying on the 'fortune fish,' our days are increasingly full of hope!" Fu Yongxiang said. Driven by the demonstration of this base, Wanzhou has promoted integrated rice-fish farming across more than 6,000 mu, lifting more than 4,000 farmer households to increase their incomes.
Having given the fish a home, it was even more necessary to bring the craft to life. Wanzhou possesses the superb grilled-fish craft, Jining has market demand, and the two places built a bridge for skill exchange — the "Wanzhou Grilled Fish Master" special training class opened as scheduled, with trainees including both entrepreneurs from Jining who came to Wanzhou to learn the craft, and local Wanzhou students seeking knowledge. To ensure that trainees could apply what they learned, Wanzhou also established a database of grilled-fish restaurant locations, precisely recommending trainees for enterprise placement and employment, relying on the Shandong-Chongqing collaboration to build a targeted talent delivery channel, constructing a complete chain of "training—employment—entrepreneurship," making skills a "solid support" for increasing residents' incomes.
The fry had taken root, and the craft had been exchanged. How to deeply combine the advantages of both places, achieving the leap from resource complementarity to industrial win-win, became a new topic. A bold idea emerged: build a Wanzhou grilled fish "enclave industrial park" in Weishan County, Jining City, Shandong — using Weishan Lake's fish and Wanzhou's craft to produce grilled-fish products, selling them across the nation. Through the joint efforts of both places, since the enclave industrial park began operations, it has produced 1,800 tons of various grilled-fish products annually, with an annual output value of about 300 million yuan, driving employment for more than 100 people; its products have entered major supermarkets across Shandong offline, and become best-sellers online, with average monthly sales reaching one million yuan. This year marks the sixth year of East-West协作 (东西部协作, dong xi bu xie zuo - "east, west, part, collaborate") between Jining and Wanzhou, and this collaboration, with fish as its medium, is continuing to deepen. The two places have jointly built a Wanzhou Grilled Fish Training Center and a Technology Research and Development Center, formulating relevant local standards; Wanzhou grilled fish has developed 57 flavor profiles, holds multiple local standards and national patents, and its restaurants are spread across more than 20 countries and regions worldwide. This cross-regional collaboration has also driven upstream and downstream related industries to blossom across multiple points. Wanzhou has locally cultivated nearly 30 grilled-fish seasoning processing enterprises, continuously expanding the planting bases for important grilled-fish auxiliary ingredients such as Sichuan peppercorn and chili pepper, successfully constructing a complete supporting system spanning from raw-ingredient cultivation, deep processing, to brand sales. Among these, the annual output value of raw-ingredient cultivation for grilled-fish supporting agricultural products across the district exceeds 3 billion yuan, and the grilled-fish seasoning processing industry reaches an annual output value of 3.3 billion yuan, with the industrial cluster effect fully released. Around Weishan Lake in Jining, a development model of "chain-leader + cooperatives + farmers" has been established, maximizing the value of fishery resources, and indirectly driving employment in fields such as catering services, cultural-tourism experiences, and e-commerce sales. Since its operation, Wanzhou's Tianshengcheng cultural-tourism district has cumulatively received more than 20 million visitors, with total consumption exceeding 600 million yuan, becoming a new landmark of the local night-time economy.
From Jining to Wanzhou, a single carp connects Shandong and Chongqing, and the story of industrial collaboration continues.

Nowadays, one treasure-town after another is winning increasing favor among tourists. The "First Half of 2026 Tourism Market Insight Report" released by the China Tourism Association shows that in the first half of the year, county-domain tourism became an important growth pole of the market, with the popularity of treasure towns and "county-hopping travel" heating up, and county-domain non-local consumption growing by 14.1% year-on-year.
The rise of treasure towns to fame is no accident. On the one hand, some tourists have more individualized requirements for travel, yearn more for relaxed, local experiences, and hope to feel the real hustle and bustle of everyday life. On the other hand, increasingly convenient transportation, the rapid spread of short videos, and the differentiated, distinctive development of different small towns have brought more and more treasure towns into the public eye.
Some small towns suit local conditions (因地制宜, yin di zhi yi - "according to the ground, adapt to the situation"), giving play to their "small yet beautiful" stylistic strengths. Inner Mongolia's Arxan relies on its forest-sea and mountain-landscape resources to build an all-seasons, all-domain tourism destination; Zhejiang's Anji, with its rural homestays and village cafés, has become a preferred getaway for tourists seeking to escape the noise and bustle. These small towns, suiting local conditions to tap their local resource endowments, let tourists find physical and mental pleasure. Some small towns deeply cultivate their cultural heritage and create distinctive cultural experiences. Jiangxi's Fenyi deeply mines the cultural IP of "Tiangong Kaiwu" (The Works of Heaven and the Ingenuity of Man); here tourists can personally experience flax-stripping and cloth-weaving by hand; Jiangsu's Gaoyou, relying on its canal cultural lineage, launches fine tourism routes such as "Humanities, Hustle and Bustle, Roaming"… The profound cultural heritage endows small towns with unique charm, letting old stories tell new flavors. Still other small towns rely on local characteristics to blaze a new path integrating local industry with cultural tourism. In Yiwu, Zhejiang, from refrigerator magnets to small household appliances, many tourists treat strolling through the trade city as travel content; in Zhushan District, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, ceramic DIY and market shopping form a closed consumption loop. These small towns convert their industrial advantages into unique tourism appeal, and "stock-up-style" tourism has become an online buzzword. Of course, to keep treasure towns shining steadily, one must also base oneself on one's own resource endowments and do a good job of the "culture and tourism plus" integration article. We look forward to more small towns hidden amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life being seen, continuing to release surging vitality.

The most premium exterior advertising spots in urban commercial districts have recently quietly changed their protagonists. In Heze, Shandong; Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia; Hefei, Anhui; and other places, multiple shopping malls have put up public-interest posters of scientists such as Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian. Citizens capture them with their phones, and netizens respond with a flood of likes. At present, the atmosphere of respecting scientific research and advocating science is growing increasingly strong. The striving stories of scientists such as Huang Xuhua and Nan Rendong are widely disseminated on social platforms, and the good news of Wang Hong and Deng Yu winning the Fields Medal has also drawn sustained attention. Such forms of dissemination dissolve the sense of distance in the field of scientific research, letting young people understand the power of role models. The public-interest advertisements on mall exterior walls further blend this atmosphere into citizens' daily lives.
For a long time, some people have been accustomed to separating or disconnecting things (割裂开来, ge lie kai lai - "split apart, separate") commercial operations from social responsibility. But commercial spaces also belong to urban public scenes and carry the function of value output. While commerce runs forward, it can also preserve a calm undertone for society. When more considerations are incorporated into commercial decision-making, the market ecology will become more diverse—and this may perhaps be the inspiration that this "advertising billboard relay" leaves us.

The Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan is exceptionally blessed or endowed by nature (得天独厚, de tian du hou - "obtain from heaven, uniquely") as a natural greenhouse, producing annually 1 million tons of Huili pomegranates, 600,000 tons of Yanyuan apples, and 800,000 tons of various grapes, earning it the title of "natural fruit basket." However, for a long period in the past, fresh fruit leaving the mountains relied mainly on highway transport, which meant long transit times, high spoilage rates, and a limited sales radius.
On the morning of August 28, the first "Yongliang Express" Rural Revitalization (乡村振兴, xiang cun zhen xing - "village, revitalize") freight train, carrying 14 40-foot "backpack-style" refrigerated containers, departed from Xichang City in Liangshan Prefecture, loaded with 300 tons of fresh grapes and mulberries, heading eastward and arriving in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province three days later. At a vineyard in Xichang, farm manager Yan Hui was picking grapes. "We need to finish picking before the sun comes up," he said. The cold-chain truck would arrive soon, and the picked fruit had to be rushed to the cold storage for pre-cooling — the shorter the time, the smaller the loss. "How to achieve long-term, stable, low-cost transport for bulk agricultural products has always been a difficult problem." Chen Haochuan, a member of the Ningbo, Zhejiang assistance team stationed in Liangshan, introduced that the eastern market had demand for Liangshan fresh fruit, but the difficulty lay in transport. To this end, the work team found the relevant units and discussed opening a freight train service. Several parties together went deep into the mountains, from the Yanyuan apple bases to the beef cattle breeding base in Xiyao Town, Ningnan County, from the cocoon and silk industrial park to the mulberry branch edible fungus base, surveying the needs of growers and breeders and the characteristics of cargo transport, a process that lasted about one month in total. The conclusion gradually became clear: transport had to use cold chain to reduce spoilage, and the freight train service had to operate on a regular basis. In December 2022, the new Chengdu-Kunming Railway opened for full-line operation, greatly releasing transport capacity. That same month, the "Yongliang Express" test train from Xichang to Chengdu blazed the trail; in June and November 2023, test trains from Xichang to Chongqing and from Xichang to Ningbo were successively launched. The "backpack-style" refrigerated containers put into use this time represent an upgrade in transport equipment. From pre-cooling at the place of origin, autonomous temperature control of the containers, to transport, the fruit spoilage rate dropped from the original 5%-7% to within 3% now. At present, the train service has basically achieved regular operation once a week. In 2025, a total of 27 trains, 117 refrigerated containers, and nearly 2,000 tons of cargo were dispatched; from January to July this year, 133 carloads, approximately 3,500 tons, were completed, already up over 75% compared with the whole of last year.
.
Amid the whistle of the locomotive, the train once again passes through the great Liangshan Mountains. The temperature inside the carriages remains stable, and under the wheels, the distance in time and space between mountains and sea grows ever closer.

In the early morning of August 30, Lei Xin, a student living in Nizhuhe Village, Puli Township, Xuanwei City, Qujing, Yunnan, put on his schoolbag and, together with his young companions from the same village, went to report to a middle school in the neighboring town.
Unlike most people of the same age, to go to school they must ride cliff elevators and high-altitude cable cars known as "aerial school buses."
Lei Xin's home is at the bottom of the Nizhuhe Grand Canyon. This June, Lei Xin just graduated from Guanzhai Primary School at the mountain top. In the past, students from Nizhuhe Village seeking education had to first reach the mountain top. The paths on the river valley cliff walls were full of gullies and ravines (沟壑纵横, gou he zong heng - "ditch, ravine, crisscross, traverse"), steep and slippery, and it took the children nearly half a day, using both hands and feet, to travel from the village to the school, making the journey very difficult.
In 2022, the Nizhuhe Grand Canyon Ecological Cultural Tourism Scenic Area was completed and began operations; the No. 1 cliff elevator "Qingyun Ladder," which is as high as 268 meters, and high-altitude cable cars were put into use successively and were opened free of charge to Nizhuhe Village and surrounding villagers. On July 31 of this year, the No. 2 cliff elevator "Fuyao Ladder," with a vertical height of 288 meters, officially commenced operation.
Nowadays, the mountain climbing road for the village children, which once took more than 3 hours, has been reduced to 30 minutes. To protect the path to education, the local government and the scenic area specially opened exclusive passages for students to go to and from school, arranging staff to be on duty at fixed points.
Benefiting from the cloud-top thoroughfare opened up by the "aerial school buses," the once-isolated deep mountain village has now become a famous internet-celebrity check-in destination known near and far. This school road "built to the clouds" supports not only the dreams of children but also the increasingly better future of the mountain villages.

The summer heat is gradually dissipating, and the essence of autumn is permeating the mountains and fields.
At the ecological agricultural planting base, understanding the status of modern agricultural planting; at the Zuo You Valley scenic area, admiring the green mountains embraced by layered peaks and watching continuous flower fields spread out before the eyes... Recently, more than 20 well-known writers and literary creators from many parts of the country gathered in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, to carry out the "National Well-known Writers' Trip to Qinhuangdao" themed literary activity, going deep into the fields, entering nature, and sharing and exchanging ideas together to savor the local cultural heritage and the spirit of the times.
Lulong County, at the foot of the Yan Mountains, is a thousand-year-old ancient county, and it is soaked in a unique local atmosphere. To have experience and know the way (老马识途, lao ma shi tu - "old horse knows the way"), a legend about a famous general's skill (李广射虎, li guang she hu - "Li Guang shoots the tiger"), to succeed through sheer determination (金石为开, jin shi wei kai - "metal stone can be opened")... many familiar legends and idiomatic allusions originated here. Inside the exhibition halls of the Lulong Museum, pieces of cultural relics are presenting the local history.
On the other side of the city, the characteristic industrial development of Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County is equally bright.
Golden bean buns and cornmeal buns wrapped with Yan Mountain chestnut bits are being produced from the workshop assembly lines of a local ecological food company and are being packaged and sent to various places... Relying on local characteristics, this company produces 200 tons of coarse grain staple foods daily, and its products are sold widely at home and abroad.
"The agricultural production, natural scenery, and historical relics here have accumulated a large amount of material for my future creation, and I have harvested much. I will combine what I have gained from this field research to strive to write literary works that have depth and connotation," said writer Rong Xiaoyu.

In September, celestial phenomena including the Pleiades accompanying the Moon, the Moon occulting Venus, the Mid-Autumn Moon, and Neptune at opposition will take the stage in turn. Among them, the highly anticipated Mid-Autumn Moon is neither "full on the 15th" nor "full on the 16th," but rather the relatively rare "full on the 17th."
The "star-and-moon fairy tale" is a regular monthly program. From September 7 to 17, the Moon will successively approach Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Antares. Among these, the one most worthy of public appreciation is the Venus accompanying the Moon on the 14th. For this Venus accompanying the Moon, observing conditions in southern China will be better. It is worth mentioning (值得一提, zhi de yi ti - "worthy of, to mention") that in parts of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and other regions of China, the public may also observe the Moon occulting Venus near the horizon. Yang Jing, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and a council member of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, stated that although the observation is quite difficult, it is definitely worth attempting. At that time, Venus's phase will be similar to that of a crescent Moon, and through a telescope, one can see the interesting scene of a "big Moon" and a "small Moon" vying in brilliance. By coincidence, the smallest first-quarter Moon of this year will also appear in the sky on September 19. If weather conditions permit, the public can observe this "D"-shaped Moon in the south-southwestern sky on the evening of that day. September 25 will usher in the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year's Mid-Autumn Moon is "the 15th's moon, full on the 17th," with the moment of fullest illumination expected to occur at 0:49 on September 27. Yang Jing stated that when appreciating the moon, one need not be fixated on the exact moment of fullness; the moons on the nights of the 25th, 26th, and 27th look nearly identical to the naked eye, and all are suitable for viewing.

In Huanan County, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, driving into a perilla planting base reveals 100,000 mu of perilla spreading continuously across the cold-region black soil.
Based on its characteristic resources, Huanan County has deeply cultivated the entire industrial chain centered on a single perilla leaf. From the very beginning of seed selection, the locality anchored itself to the direction of deep processing; the 100,000-mu large-scale planting base serves not only as a stable raw material supply reservoir but also as an experimental field for characteristic varieties. Relying on the natural conditions of the large diurnal temperature differences in the cold-region black soil, the locality has directionally cultivated multiple customized perilla varieties, including oil-pressing types and essential oil types.
The perilla fields are connected to processing workshops, allowing the value transformation of a single leaf to be completed right at the doorstep. Zhang Ruixin, a technician at the Xinhe Village perilla planting base, traveled thousands of miles to introduce the single-sided perilla variety; after one year of field domestication, this variety exhibits a prominent rosmarinic acid content. "This variety is particularly suitable for brewing beer, and its yield per mu is also relatively high," said Zhang Ruixin.
Huanan County has established perilla as the dominant industry for enriching the people and strengthening the county, with over one hundred cooperatives and family farms in the entire county radiating and driving income increases for surrounding growers. Many villagers enter the industrial park nearby for work, having cumulatively driven employment for 5,000 people.
Currently, Huanan County produces 10,000 tons of perilla seeds annually. The perilla industrial park has gathered multiple deep-processing enterprises, and the annual industrial output value has exceeded 500 million yuan.
The tiny perilla leaf continues to innovate through cross-sector integration. The perilla planting demonstration park integrates functions of planting, sightseeing, and study tours, linking the Forest Industry Bureau Compound and the Xiangyang Lake Scenic Area, receiving over 100,000 tourist visits annually. Cultural and creative products such as perilla fragrance sachets and incense beads have become popular in the market, and the chain of agriculture-tourism integration continues to extend.

Every afternoon, Gong Yang, a resident of the Qili Old Street area in Shitai County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, exercises at the fitness center at his doorstep, which makes him very happy. "This piece of vacant land had been idle for many years. Now it has become the public fitness center of Bai Guo Yuan Lane in our Renli Town. It is especially convenient for leisure and exercise." Gong Yang said. Thanks to its brand-new venue, complete facilities, and affordable pricing, it has become a good place for local people to get fit.
"Few venues, long distances, and difficulty finding places to exercise" had long been a problem troubling the residents of the Qili Old Street area, and the residents' need for nearby fitness was urgent. To fill the gaps in public fitness facilities, advance the construction of the "15-minute fitness circle," and respond to the people's needs for fitness and leisure, Shitai County, through standardized procedures such as people's congress deputies' door-to-door visits, discussion and research, and solicitation of public opinion, included the renovation and expansion of the public fitness center in the old urban area into the county's 10 practical livelihood projects for 2026. The project was fully completed and opened in June this year, building a new standardized public fitness center, configuring 2 standard basketball courts, laying sports flooring, and equipping air conditioning and other supporting facilities to ensure a comfortable and professional sports experience; simultaneously, a five-a-side artificial turf football field, fitness trails, and badminton courts were built as supporting facilities, and convenience ancillary facilities such as leisure seating and smart lighting were improved, balancing the needs of professional competitive sports and daily leisure fitness, covering sports and leisure scenarios for people of all ages.
Since its operation, people coming to exercise have been in a continuous stream (络绎不绝, luo yi bu jue - "continuous flow, not stopping"). "In the next step, we will do a good job of later-stage operation, management, and maintenance, continuously optimize services, and truly put the fitness facilities to good use." Huang Guosheng, the person in charge of the county's Education and Sports Bureau, said.

The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport recently jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the Construction of Logistics Networks" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Plan").
The "Implementation Plan" adheres to a problem-oriented and goal-oriented approach, promoting the transformation and upgrading of logistics infrastructure from "setting points and smooth lines" toward "forming chains and networks." It proposes goals such as "by 2030, significant achievements will be made in the construction of logistics networks, effectively achieving close synergy between hubs and industries, connectivity between corridors and networks both domestically and internationally, green and intelligent facilities and equipment, and full-domain interconnection of rules and information," and "promoting the ratio of total social logistics costs to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) down to 13.1%, a decrease of 0.8 percentage points compared to the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan (十四五, shi si wu - "ten, four, five")." What are the highlights of the "Implementation Plan"? How will it be implemented? Reporters interviewed relevant departments and experts.
How to release the economies of scale effect of logistics networks?
Coordinating "major arteries" and "micro-circulations," making deployments in terms of hubs, corridors, and urban-rural logistics facilities
A logistics network is a composite infrastructure system and comprehensive service network that supports the efficient circulation of goods and resources throughout society. By the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the construction completion rate of China's "6 axes, 7 corridors, and 8 channels" national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network will exceed 90%, and the proportion of natural villages (groups) with large populations that have access to hardened roads will reach 95%, providing strong support for reducing logistics costs and increasing efficiency.
"Through long-term efforts, China's logistics network construction has established a good foundation. At the same time, it must be seen that the capacity of some trunk corridors is increasingly saturated, the capacity for hub synergy, linkage, and radiation is insufficient, and shortcomings still exist in the 'first mile' of production areas and the 'last mile' of the terminal, requiring the promotion of full-chain system optimization." Li Chao, spokesperson for the National Development and Reform Commission, told reporters that to this end, the "Implementation Plan" makes comprehensive deployments in terms of hubs, corridors, urban-rural logistics facilities, and other aspects.
On one hand, opening up the "major arteries."
"The national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network is the artery of the national economic cycle, providing the physical skeleton and operational corridors for the logistics network. By 2030, the construction completion rate of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network will be raised to 95%." Liu Xin, president of the Planning and Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, stated that according to the "Implementation Plan," the next steps for opening up "major arteries" include systematically advancing the construction of the railway freight network, promoting the quality improvement and upgrading of trunk highways, optimizing and enhancing the transport service functions of ports, strengthening the connectivity of the inland waterway system, and enhancing the freight functions of key airports.
Among these, regarding railways, the layout of backbone corridors such as moving western coal to the east, moving northern coal to the south, and moving Xinjiang coal outward will be optimized, and the guarantee capacity of the northern grain-to-southern transport corridor will be enhanced; regarding highways, the construction of connecting sections such as the Yangtze River riverside expressways will be accelerated, and the capacity expansion and intelligence enhancement of expressways such as the Lianhuo, Shenhai, and Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao expressways will be promoted; regarding water transport, the high-grade waterway network of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta will be improved, and the navigation bottlenecks of key inter-provincial waterways will be cleared; regarding aviation, support will be provided for establishing bases in airport-type national logistics hubs to effectively enhance the all-cargo aircraft guarantee capacity and freight handling efficiency of key airports.
On the other hand, smoothing the "micro-circulations."
To make up for deficiencies in urban-rural logistics facilities, the "Implementation Plan" proposes measures such as enhancing the functions of urban logistics facilities, improving rural logistics facilities, and strengthening important material warehousing facilities and emergency logistics facilities. "Localities will build new or repurpose existing facilities to create public express delivery stations, improve the three-level logistics distribution system of counties, townships, and villages, making it more convenient for the masses to receive online purchases and more efficient for fresh produce to leave villages and enter cities," Li Chao said.
"The value of a network stems from the holistic organization of nodes and corridors. The 'Implementation Plan' proposes coordinating 'major arteries' and 'micro-circulations,' both deploying the construction of major hubs and major corridors and striving to smooth terminal circulation. The essence is to improve network efficiency as a whole and release the economies of scale effect of the logistics network," said Lu Chenyun, a researcher at the Institute of Comprehensive Transportation of the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomics.
How to improve the level of integrated operation?
Coordinating "hard construction" and "soft connectivity," making deployments in terms of facility construction and information connectivity
Improving the level of integrated operation is the key to promoting the overall efficiency of the logistics network.
"Compared to developed countries, China's unit costs for transport and warehousing are not considered high, but total social logistics costs are relatively high. The reason for this, besides objective factors such as economic geography and industrial structure, lies in the fact that the connectivity of logistics facilities is relatively weak and the level of service organization is relatively low," Zhang Xiaodong, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, believed. To solve this phenomenon, one must coordinate "hard construction" and "soft connectivity," seeking efficiency through technological innovation and seeking benefits through organizational synergy, and reducing invalid operations and breaking through bottlenecks and blockages through digital-intelligent transformation, green transformation, and information interconnection.
To promote the overall efficiency of the logistics network, the "Implementation Plan" makes systematic deployments in terms of facility construction, equipment adaptation, rule alignment, and information connectivity.
Regarding "hard construction," the "Implementation Plan" proposes implementing the national logistics hub multimodal transport project and accelerating the construction of railway collection and distribution for multimodal transport port areas in coastal ports, providing strong support for smooth cargo transshipment and efficient transit.
Developing multimodal transport is an important link in enhancing the efficiency of the logistics network. During the 15th Five-Year Plan (十五五, shi wu wu - "ten, five, five") period, the country plans to renovate and upgrade approximately 1,000 major freight multimodal transport nodes, with the first batch of 300 currently being accelerated. The "Implementation Plan" further proposes implementing an action plan for tackling difficulties in multimodal transport, vigorously developing multimodal transport, and accelerating the renewal, renovation, and construction of a batch of major freight nodes with prominent multimodal transport functions. "The next focus is to use both soft and hard measures to solve multimodal transport bottlenecks and blockages, targeting the functional positioning of five types of core freight nodes: major ports, key inland ports, large logistics parks, large-scale industrial parks, and China-Europe (Asia) Railway freight consolidation centers," Liu Xin stated.
Regarding "soft connectivity," the "Implementation Plan" proposes encouraging the construction and renovation of public logistics information platforms and corporate logistics information systems, achieving the alignment of data standards and interface interconnection across different modes, and promoting measures such as the accelerated implementation of "single bill" and "single container" systems.
"For 'soft connectivity,' standardization is the prerequisite, and sharing and openness are the keys. Only when standard rules are established can facilities, equipment, and information data 'be connected and run smoothly.' Only when data flows across modes, fields, and regions can scattered facilities truly operate as a networked system," Zhang Xiaodong believed. The deployments in the "Implementation Plan" regarding digital intelligence and information sharing are interconnected and support other deployments regarding hub networking, corridor capacity, urban-rural facilities, and international networks, jointly serving the overall goal of reducing total social logistics costs.
How to strengthen international logistics guarantees?
Coordinating "internal circulation" and "external connectivity," making deployments in terms of domestic support and international service guarantees
Openness is an inherent requirement to ensure network vitality. "The 'Implementation Plan' proposes coordinating 'internal circulation' and 'external connectivity.' While consolidating the infrastructure of the unified domestic market, it emphasizes weaving a denser international logistics facility network, which means using openness to empower the construction and operation of the logistics network," Lu Chenyun stated.
It is understood that as of the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, China's port cargo throughput and container throughput both rank first in the world, the international freight market share of aviation enterprises has reached 44%, and the cumulative number of China-Europe Railway Express trips over 10 years has exceeded 130,000, reaching 236 cities in 26 European countries; the international logistics network provides strong guarantees for constructing a new development pattern. At the same time, problems such as insufficient overseas service capacity and the lack of many logistics enterprises with international competitiveness still exist.
To this end, the "Implementation Plan" makes deployments in terms of domestic support and international service guarantees. For example, improving facilities and equipment such as port customs clearance, international intermodal transport, and international freight stations, cultivating transport and logistics leading enterprises and integrated logistics providers with international competitiveness, and providing services such as insurance and financing for logistics enterprises operating overseas to enhance the integrated operation capability of domestic and international logistics.
"As China gradually shifts from exporting products to the 'going overseas' of industries, international logistics guarantees are becoming increasingly important. To this end, international fleets and aircraft fleets, as well as equipment investment and construction, must be strengthened, and logistics enterprises with international competitiveness must be cultivated," Hu Dajian, Vice President of the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing, believed. The "Implementation Plan" proposes consolidating the foundation of international logistics service guarantees, which is expected to help logistics enterprises to go global (走出去, zou chu qu - "walk, out, go") and resolve the worries of Chinese enterprises operating overseas.
Li Chao stated that in the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will work with relevant parties to dynamically optimize and adjust policy measures, guide various regions to scientifically coordinate project construction and operation, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties to participate in the construction of the logistics network, and accelerate the promotion of the logistics network construction to achieve practical results.

On August 28, as the gong sounded for the listing of Hangzhou Huada Haitian Technology Co., Ltd., the Beijing Stock Exchange welcomed its fifty-third listed company of the year. "The BSE proactively served us and moved its communication gateway forward, helping us go public more smoothly." Xia Guiling, deputy general manager of Huada Haitian, said that the BSE has established an on-site communication mechanism, and with regard to the company's fundraising-investment project logic, innovation-characteristic demonstration, valuation and pricing, etc., reviewers intervene early and help enterprises sort out issues face-to-face. As the registration-based reform deepens and progresses, the BSE continuously optimizes its service functions and continues to polish the signboard of "serving as the main battlefield for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises." On the financing side, it has served 339 enterprises in going public, achieving a market value of over 840 billion yuan; at the same time, on the investment side, liquidity levels have been effectively improved, with existing qualified investors exceeding 11 million households, an increase of nearly 2 times compared with the early days of the market's opening, and the average daily transaction amount has risen from less than 1 billion yuan in the early days of the market's opening to over 20 billion yuan since 2026.
Since its establishment was announced on September 2, 2021, over the past five years, while the BSE's market scale has steadily expanded, it has persisted in driving high-quality development through institutional reform. Focusing on serving new quality productive forces (新质生产力, xin zhi sheng chan li - "new quality, production, force"), the BSE has designed diversified listing standards in light of the characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises, opening its arms wider to more small and medium-sized enterprises with high "technology content." Over 60 percent of BSE-listed companies are national-level "little giant" enterprises that are specialized and sophisticated enterprises (专精特新, zhuan jing te xin - "specialized, refined, unique, new"), distributed across fields such as robotics, new energy, aerospace, and aviation. In particular, since 2025, among newly listed companies, the proportion of "little giant" enterprises that are specialized and sophisticated enterprises has exceeded 80 percent. Empowering the construction of a modern industrial system: through precise, flexible, and inclusive institutional design, the BSE serves small and medium-sized enterprises in growing larger and stronger (做大做强, zuo da zuo qiang - "make big, make strong"). In terms of direct financing, it has cumulatively served small and medium-sized enterprises in raising approximately 80 billion yuan, with over 80 percent of the raised funds invested in fields such as green and low-carbon, digital economy, high-end equipment manufacturing, etc. In terms of refinancing and restructuring, the BSE supports enterprises in integrating advantageous resources and developing in coordination, having already supported 41 listed companies in launching 46 refinancing plans, with registered projects cumulatively planning to raise 5.063 billion yuan, and 4 listed companies having implemented major asset restructurings. Helping coordinate regional development: while improving the coverage of services for enterprises within regions and the precision of docking, the BSE promotes the downward shift of the exchange's service focus, better serving county-level economies. As of now, the BSE has cumulatively supported 217 companies in three regions — Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area — in listing and raising funds, helping the development and growth of characteristic industrial clusters within regions; and helping a batch of small and medium-sized enterprises rooted in local communities raise funds for development, driving local employment, income increases, and industrial upgrading.
"The BSE has formed a whole-chain service system supporting innovative small and medium-sized enterprises." Zhu Haibin, general manager of the BSE Research Center at Kaiyuan Securities, said that the BSE leverages its integrated development advantages with the National Equities Exchange and Quotations, forming a tightly linked multi-level, gradient cultivation system, enabling small and medium-sized enterprises to flexibly choose their capital market development paths according to their actual needs at different development stages. "More critically, the BSE has further opened up a virtuous cycle (良性循环, liang xing xun huan - "good, healthy, cycle") among 'technology-industry-finance,' guiding innovative capital to better invest early, invest small, and invest in hard technology." Tian Xuan, dean of Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, said that the BSE and the NEEQ actively play their role in regulation and cultivation, providing venture capital institutions with a sufficient supply of high-quality investment targets. Since the BSE's establishment, private equity funds have participated in private placements of approximately 400 listed companies, with cumulative investment exceeding 26 billion yuan, and 90 percent of BSE-listed companies have received investment from venture capital institutions. A relevant person in charge of the BSE said that, in the next step, the BSE will continue to enhance institutional inclusiveness and adaptability, broaden listing channels for small and medium-sized enterprises, continuously strengthen the coordinated development of both the investment and financing sides, strengthen the grasp on company quality and innovation attributes, promote more resources to gather toward small and medium-sized enterprises and the field of scientific and technological innovation, and at the same time will persevere in a consistent manner (一以贯之, yi yi guan zhi - "one, with, through, persist") in preventing risks and strengthening regulation, strictly guard the market entry gate, and continuously maintain the healthy and stable operation of the market.

At the end of August, at the foot of the mountain in Tianmen Town, Yi'an District, Tongling City, Anhui Province, looking out across the fields, patch after patch of ginger fields stretched green and lush. The连绵的ginger ridges rose and fell like green waves, and the waist-high ginger stalks swayed in the wind. "One, two, three, lift!" At the Tongling Jinfengyuan Agricultural Development Base, person in charge Qian Xueqin, after loosening the soil with a tool, gripped the ginger plant tightly, gave it a sudden tug, and a plant of white ginger broke free from the soil, its rich ginger fragrance wafting into the nose, refreshing and pleasant to the soul (沁人心脾, qin ren xin pi - "soak, enter, human, heart, spirit"). Sow in spring, harvest in autumn. At this moment, Tongling white ginger, known for its tender, crisp flesh, abundant juice, and little fiber, and dubbed the "fruit ginger," has already come onto the market. In the fields, ginger farmers bend at the waist, straighten up, and pull the ginger with practiced, powerful motions. "The ginger pieces grow in rows; the ginger skin is white with a slight tinge of yellow; the ginger stem is red. This is the typical trait of our Tongling white ginger." Qian Xueqin held the white ginger in her palms and sniffed it gently. "Tongling white ginger is famous for its white color, crisp tenderness, and little residue. After the White Dew solar term, the heads grow larger, but in terms of quality, the 'pre-White-Dew ginger' is considered the best."
Tongling white ginger has a long history of cultivation, and its cultivation system has been recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. The cultivation of white ginger follows strict seasonal requirements: at the Beginning of Winter solar term, ginger farmers send the ginger seed into the ginger pavilion for preservation and sprout induction; around the Spring Equinox, they dig furrows and build ridges; at the Qingming solar term, they plant the ginger seed into the soil; after the ginger buds sprout, they erect shelters for shade; thereafter, they carry out manual weeding and management until autumn harvest. "Ginger-pavilion seed preservation and sprout induction, high-bed high-ridge cultivation, and shelter-erection for shade growth" are the key points of Tongling white ginger's unique cultivation techniques. Combining these with actual agricultural production practices, ginger farmers have summarized them into a twenty-four-character formula: "dig deep and raise ridges, cut buds and sow seeds, erect shelters and provide shade, harvest by hand-pulling, store seeds in ginger pavilions, and induce sprouts with stove fire."
On the streets of Tongling, the fragrance of white ginger has also begun to spread. Every year at this season, scenes of people washing ginger, scraping ginger, and pickling ginger can be seen everywhere. "Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin; ginger, garlic, hemp" — the people of Tongling have listed white ginger among the "Eight Treasures of Tongling," and this sentiment has long been woven into the fabric of daily life. Stepping into the Tongque Erqiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., located within the Tongling National Agricultural Science and Technology Park, the exhibition hall presents a feast for the eyes (琳琅满目, lin lang man mu - "exquisite, bright, fill, eyes") of products including solid ginger tea, ginger juice beverages, and ginger shampoo. Company head Su Yihai introduced that the company has cooperated with universities and research institutes to develop more than 20 product lines, covering three major fields — food, health products, and daily chemicals — driving Tongling white ginger's transformation from a regional specialty toward a technology-based industry. At present, the company processes about 300 tons of white ginger annually, achieving an output value of 20 million yuan.
"Tongling white ginger has already extended into more than 80 kinds of innovative products, launching a comprehensive transformation from the field to the workshop, and reaping tangible industrial fruits." Li Husheng, Party Group Secretary of the Tongling Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced that Tongling is concentrating its efforts on building the "Hometown of Chinese White Ginger," listing the white ginger industry among the city's key "seven ones" (七个一, qi ge yi - "seven ones") characteristic industries. While deepening its work on traditional products such as sweet-and-sour ginger, Tongling white ginger has also developed functional beverages, health foods, daily chemical products, and cultural creative works, building a distinctive "five products, together, advance" (五品共进, wu pin gong jin - "five products, together, advance") product matrix, greatly enhancing the industry's added value and development vitality. In 2025, the annual output value of the entire Tongling white ginger industry chain exceeded 1.4 billion yuan. Along with the products' continuous "breakout into the spotlight," Tongling white ginger has leapt out of the "field," entered the "workshop," and also expanded entrepreneurial space for young people. In Dayuan Village, suburb of Tongling City, Hu Tingting, who returned to her hometown to start a business in 2018, upgraded the packaging and turned what older generations regarded as a "clod of earth" into a beautiful and delicious gift item, creating the Tongling white ginger brand "Shanli" with social attributes. Today, she has become a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Tongling white ginger production techniques, regularly showcasing on her public account and short-video accounts the cultivation of Tongling white ginger and ancient methods of ginger processing.
"We are glad to see more and more people coming for white ginger, and this is also the driving force for us to move forward." In Hu Tingting's view, Tongling white ginger, with its unique flavor, profound heritage, and the golden signboard of "Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System," "is a cultural treasure and also an industry that enriches the people." In the future, more young people will inherit the techniques of ginger cultivation and ginger processing, empowering Tongling white ginger with cultural creativity and driving the industry's continuous upgrading.

Education bears on today and determines the future. Facing the tide of the era of intelligent transformation, General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly pointed out: "Now, on the one hand, with the intelligent internet of things and artificial intelligence, the tools and methods of education will change, and the cultivation of students' abilities will change — these are precisely what need to be reformed in keeping with the times (与时俱进, yu shi ju jin - "with, time, follow, advance"). On the other hand, the cultivation of students' enlightenment of wisdom, nurturing of the mind, and basic cognitive abilities, and problem-solving abilities, cannot be relaxed. The basic skills still must be had."
On the one hand, one must "reform in keeping with the times"; on the other hand, "the basic skills still must be had" — this speaks to the crux of "AI + education." This April, the Ministry of Education and other 5 departments issued the "AI + Education" Action Plan, making requirements for promoting the cultivation of AI talent and the enhancement of literacy. This edition, starting today, launches the series report "High-Quality and Balanced Development of Education · Four Questions on 'AI + Education'": Children do homework by first asking AI (artificial intelligence) — what should parents do? Will "real human teachers" be replaced by AI? In the AI era, how does one become a person who knows how to ask questions? Is AI narrowing the gap, or deepening the knowledge divide? These questions urgently require schools, families, and society to think deeply and answer them together.

My child has just started junior high school, and whenever he starts writing a composition, he begins to stare blankly, struggling for a long time yet writing only a few lines, and in the end he still turns to AI (artificial intelligence) tools for help. Enter the topic, word count, and keywords, and in a few seconds, an essay with neat structure and fluent writing comes out. To be honest, what AI writes is indeed quite good. But if this continues over the long term, won't he stop being able to conceive and choose words and craft sentences on his own? In the exam room, there is no AI — can he still write? But if we ban it, that seems like a one-size-fits-all approach. What exactly should be done?
— Xiaolin's mother
A real parent's confusion is also the shared anxiety of many families. Take a photo and upload a math problem, and AI, in just a few seconds, lists out the complete problem-solving steps; before the experiment has even begun, AI has already given the description of the phenomenon and the inference of the conclusion... AI, with its "omnipotent" posture, integrates into education, and a test concerning "use" or "not use," "embrace" or "resist," is placed before every parent. The homework was done with AI's help — whose thinking is it?
[Scenario]
At the start of the new semester, many teachers and parents have discovered that students' summer homework has a rather strong "AI flavor." Some children, seeking convenience, find AI to do their homework for them; some children, upon returning to school, gather in groups to exchange "how to use AI to do homework." At present, the trend of AI ghostwriting homework is increasingly evident. Survey data show that 71.0% of students use AI to assist in completing homework. In response, parents cannot help but worry: AI has done all the homework for the children — what is there left to learn? The homework was done with AI's help — whose thinking is it?
[Experts say]
Meng Tianguang: To a certain extent, AI can indeed improve writing efficiency, enrich the use of materials, optimize language expression, and help cultivate children's ability in human-machine collaboration, so as to adapt to future learning models. But long-term dependence on AI for writing homework will bring a series of negative effects. First, it weakens the depth of thinking and the cultivation of values — writing is a unique practice through which students understand, think about, and reflect on the connection between themselves and the external world, and AI ghostwriting will greatly diminish the effectiveness of this kind of thinking training; second, it suppresses curiosity and creativity — lacking the complete experience of writing from beginning to end will gradually extinguish students' enthusiasm for observing life and exploring the unknown; third, it affects the formation of abstract thinking ability — without undergoing the refinement process from "phenomenon" to "essence," thinking abilities such as induction, deduction, inference, and reasoning have no way to grow.
Chen Zhiwen: For adults, artificial intelligence is an efficiency tool, but for primary and secondary school students, it can very easily become a "shortcut" that replaces thinking and replaces training.
Primary and secondary school students are precisely in the stage of forming study habits, ways of thinking, and basic self-discipline ability. The value of learning lies not only in obtaining the answer, but even more in experiencing the process of understanding, memorization, reasoning, expression, and repeated training. Parents cannot idealistically assume that children naturally know how to correctly use artificial intelligence. Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human instinct — many adults find it hard to resist the laziness brought by abusing tools, let alone primary and secondary school students whose minds are not yet mature? If students, from a young age, get used to outsourcing problems to AI, what they may eventually learn might not be knowledge, but rather methods for bypassing learning itself.
[Teachers say]
Xu Lin: Regarding how the boundaries of AI in writing learning should be drawn, parents can refer to 3 red lines: first, one cannot use AI to replace original observation and skip over life itself — for example, when writing about one's mother, one must look at her hands and listen to her footsteps; second, one cannot use AI to replace emotional epiphany — those moments when the heart goes "thump," one must chew them into words by oneself; third, one cannot use AI to replace logical training — the complete chain of reasoning from establishing the theme to structuring must be "squeezed out" by oneself, so that thinking can grow. At the same time, there are also 3 green lines: first, AI can serve as a catalyst for inspiration, providing directional reference when children are stuck; second, it can serve as a helper for materials, looking up some background information; third, it can serve as a diagnostic assistant, finding typos, analyzing structure, etc., but the revision still must be completed by the children themselves.
AI research study is booming — will children lose at the starting line?
[Scenario]
"Spent several thousand yuan, and the child came back only knowing how to use AI to make PPT — I don't know whether to be happy or angry" "How can we keep children from losing at the 'AI starting line'"... Many parents have similar confusion. During the summer vacation, various AI research study camps have become the new "top trend" in education consumption. Some institutions have put out extremely seductive promotional slogans — "Open an AI company in 6 days" "Be a product manager at age 8, start a business and be the boss at age 13," with course price tags often ranging from several thousand yuan to over ten thousand yuan. At the same time, AI learning machines and intelligent tutoring hardware also continue to sell well, with selling points such as "AI precision learning" and "AI one-on-one" attracting many parents to place orders
[R&D personnel say]
Zhang Dan: Heavy on marketing, light on practical operation, is a fairly common phenomenon in the current AI research study market. Many institutions attract customers with exaggerated rhetoric, yet the course content remains stuck at the shallow tool-usage level of AI-generated copy, making PPT, etc., without professional teaching-and-research capabilities. In addition, industry standards have not yet been perfected, and fees are inflated. When it comes to learning AI, parents actually have no need to be overly anxious. Parents should understand that AI tools iterate at an extremely fast pace, and logical thinking, problem-decomposition ability, and innovative practical ability are the core competencies that benefit children for life. To cultivate AI literacy, one must follow the laws of cognition, helping children, step by step, establish scientific thinking and a spirit of inquiry. One must start from real problems, encouraging children to "learn by doing," understanding principles and accumulating experience in hands-on practice
[Teachers say]
Xu Lin: True AI literacy lies in using AI to assist human decision-making. Therefore, literacy cultivation should turn toward human-machine cognitive collaboration, specifically including 4 kinds of abilities: the ability to ask questions — a good question is often more precious than a good answer; the ability to judge — discerning the biases and errors in AI output, rather than accepting everything wholesale; the ability to integrate — combining the information AI retrieves with one's own experience and values; the ability to reflect — asking what AI has helped with, what it has limited, and what cannot be replaced. At the practical level, parents can advance in layers according to their children's age groups. In the primary school stage, children can be allowed to ask AI the same question multiple times, observing the differences in each answer, cultivating the habit of questioning; in the middle school stage, they can be required to attach "my thinking trajectory," explaining why they chose this direction, making the thinking process visible. In addition, all stages should emphasize offline verification — for example, a recipe generated by AI must be tried by actually cooking it once, and AI-written code must be personally run once. In the final analysis, children must be made to understand that "I" am the protagonist, and AI is only an "external plug-in" that cannot replace oneself
[Experts say]
Chen Zhiwen: What needs to be vigilant about is not letting AI become a new "assistant" for exam-oriented training. AI was originally able to serve teaching students in accordance with their aptitude (因材施教, yin cai shi jiao - "according to, talent, teach, instruct"), reduce teachers' burdens, and improve learning efficiency, but market forces may also push it in another direction — more precise, more efficient, more hidden exam-oriented training. Once AI is mainly used for problem drilling, question guessing, wrong-question analysis, precision training, and score-raising competitions, it may upgrade the past "people-watching-people exam-oriented training" into "algorithm-driven exam-oriented training." For such products and services, forward-looking vigilance should be maintained to prevent AI from being widely used for disguised training and exam-oriented reinforcement. Should AI be classified by age group for children of different ages?
[Scenario]
Children of different age groups have vastly different cognitive levels and discrimination abilities. But the current general-purpose large models on the market, regardless of age, regardless of scenario, are open to all users. Many parents harbor doubts: with the same AI, when young children use it, they may be misled by false information and easily develop dependence; but for upper-grade students, excessive restriction may again constrain their space for exploration. Should a classification mechanism be established for AI use by adolescents?
[Teachers say]
Xu Lin: The "Guidelines for the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence by Primary and Secondary School Students (2025 Edition)" issued by the Ministry of Education has already clearly proposed that "in the primary school stage, students are prohibited from independently using open-ended content generation functions," but in actual implementation, it still faces considerable difficulties. On the one hand, family supervision has blind spots. Most families have not formulated any AI usage rules, and the problems of "cannot manage, do not know how to manage" are rather prominent — even if parents limit the duration of electronic device use, it is difficult to monitor the specific content of their children's use. On the other hand, AI tools are deeply embedded in various application software, increasing the difficulty of identification. Generative AI functions, often under the names of "tutoring" and"companionship," are built into learning machines, homework apps, smart watches, and even children's toys, making it difficult for parents to discern whether they belong to open-ended content generation functions
[Experts say]
Meng Tianguang: Primary and secondary school students' use of general-purpose large models entails potential risks of mismatch with age-based cognition: first, mismatch in cognitive ability — adolescents, facing a "giant version" large model far beyond their own cognitive level, are prone to frustration and weakened self-confidence; second, mismatch in learning ability — adolescents' independent learning habits are not yet stable, and when using AI, they easily form dependence, hindering the cultivation of curiosity and the desire to explore; third, mismatch in evaluation ability — adolescents' social cognition is not yet mature, lacking the ability to judge and assess AI-generated content; fourth, mismatch in ethical values — general-purpose models often influence adolescents with adult logic, neglecting their value-cultivation needs at different growth stages.
Therefore, parents' concerns are reasonable, and it is quite necessary to build a classified and graded governance system for artificial intelligence applications in the basic education stage. The grading mechanism should be designed according to students' growth stages or educational phases, developing "student models" adapted to the cognitive level of each educational phase — that is, providing students with an artificial intelligence learning companion that grows in sync with their cognition and intellect, cultivating adolescents' ability and literacy to collaborate with AI in co-evolution. At the same time, the classification mechanism can also be designed differentially according to the educational objects: ordinary education applies the above scheme; special education can achieve more personalized and professional teaching; vocational education can strengthen the development and application of specialized AI in specific scenarios.
Chen Zhiwen: It is recommended that a whitelist system for large models be established within the education system, clarifying that AI products entering campuses cannot be judged only by technical indicators, response speed, and invocation cost, but must also take value orientation, content safety, and knowledge systems as important considerations.

Parents share a common anxiety: will AI "steal" children's ability to think?
The charm of learning lies precisely in the process of "wrestling" with difficulties. If everything is left to AI, and children are immersed in the standard answers pushed by algorithms, they will easily lose the ability to raise good questions — and good questions are often more precious than good answers. Of course, shutting AI out of the school gates is neither realistic nor wise. For parents, rather than worrying about being at a disadvantage from the very beginning (输在起跑线, shu zai qi pao xian - "lose at the start line"), it is better to help children find a balance between the "red line" and the "green line," and learn to master the tool. Facing the AI era head-on, one must practice the fundamentals of education. Education in the age of artificial intelligence, beyond imparting knowledge, must also enhance intelligent literacy — letting critical thinking, aesthetic judgment, and empathy, these "hidden" qualities, transcend "visible" knowledge, thereby nurturing a generation that can think independently, perceive beauty, and dare to keep questioning.

Using various local dialects to perform "iconic scenes" from films and TV dramas, and reciting poetry with netizens in hometown speech... Now, more and more young people are making dialect a new form of online social expression. Why can dialect, which grows out of the soil, "break out of the circle" online and touch the hearts of young people?
As a unique cultural marker, dialect is the switch that quickly brings people into the local community. Young people who grew up in an environment of "speaking Mandarin, writing standard characters" also love the charm of dialect. Hearing a netizen from the Northeast say "Come on over here to our neck of the woods and have iron-pot stew, it smells so good," the warmth of the black earth comes rushing at you; when netizens from Jiangsu and Zhejiang read prose in dialect, the scenery of the Jiangnan region seems to leap up before your eyes; some people use the Chaoshan dialect of Guangdong to share their family's stories of overseas Chinese letters, making netizens exclaim "It's like watching another segment of A Love Letter to Grandma," and from it they savor the resilience of the older generation. Dialects vary significantly even within short distances (五里不同音，十里不同调, wu li bu tong yin, shi li bu tong diao - "five li different sounds, ten li different tunes"), dialect is not only a tool of communication, but also a carrier of a place's historical lineage and local customs. Listening to dialect rap, watching dialect short dramas, and exchanging with netizens over different expressions for the same thing, young people use dialect's "earthy flavor" to listen to stories from afar, feel the "personality" of mountains and rivers, and experience the extremely broad and profound (博大精深, bo da jing shen - "vast, broad, profound, deep") charm of local culture.
Integrating the characteristics of the times and narrating changes in life, young people's social expression is making dialect "trendy." The phrase "Suan niao, suan niao, dou bu rong yi" (loosely, "Forget it, forget it, none of it is easy"), which comes from the Wuhan dialect of Hubei, uses open-mindedness to relieve pressure; the Sichuan dialect "Bashi de hen" (very comfortable, very good) reflects the fiery local cultural tourism; the Henan-flavored "dejin magic" refers to ways of relaxing the body and mind such as keeping pets or playing with fuse beads... Sharing life and feelings in direct, plain dialect fits young people's expression needs for fun, empathy, and shared resonance.
The nostalgia behind the native accent is even more touching. Mandarin connects mountains and seas; the native accent keeps watch over where one came from. As online communication becomes increasingly frequent and diverse, people use their hometown speech to depict the landscapes of their native place and the memories of childhood, moving stranger netizens through local culture and sincere emotion—expressing nostalgia while also conveying love. Some netizens say that when they speak dialect, they feel a solid sense of belonging in their hearts. This sense of solidity comes from holding fast to the "root" of culture; it is both an inheritance of cultural genes and an embodiment of cultural confidence (文化自信, wen hua zi xin - "culture, self, confidence").
From "niche" to "breaking out of the circle," from "countrified" to "moving," young people's dialect socializing also reflects the surging vitality of grassroots China. "Returning home in old age with the same native accent" (少小离家老大回，乡音无改鬓毛衰, shao xiao li jia lao da hui, xiang yin wu gai bin mao shuai - "leaving home young, returning old, accent unchanged, hair graying"), the scene in the poem may be hard to reproduce in today's mobile China, but the native accent that lingers in our hearts will always sound in our ears in another way—dialect hawking in short-video shots, peasant literature and art, discussions sparked by dialect works such as The Protagonist and A Love Letter to Grandma, foreign tourists visiting China who take the initiative to learn local speech... "The moment Qin opera sounds, the loess earth burns hot; the moment dialect comes out, nostalgia fills the barns," the curling native accents record the heat of life and the imprints of development.
Admittedly, some dialect "meme-playing" blindly chases traffic, drifting into vulgarity and sensationalism. But more young people choose social expression that respects dialect's connotations and local customs and culture; what they seek from dialect's "earthiness" is the feeling of the hometown and the charm of culture. Trust young people—they are full of cultural confidence and can tell the new stories within dialect even more beautifully.

On September 1, the commendation conference of the 13th China Charity Award was held in Beijing, and the "Nanjing University of Science and Technology Ruihua Warm-Hearted Meal Card" project became the only university project to receive the award. Student Xiao Guan (pseudonym) is a beneficiary of this project. On the afternoon of August 27, Xiao Guan gently knocked on the door of an office of the Education Development Foundation of Nanjing University of Science and Technology (hereinafter referred to as "NJUST"), and he had two purposes for coming: first, to share the joy of advancing to a higher level of education — he was about to begin studying for a master's degree; second, to thank the school for its monthly meal card subsidy. Since the second semester of his freshman year, Xiao Guan's meal card had received a subsidy of 310.5 yuan every month, accumulating to nearly 10,000 yuan over more than three years.
"I still remember a Friday morning in the spring semester of 2023." That day, when Xiao Guan was buying breakfast in the cafeteria, he discovered that the amount on his meal card had increased by about 300 yuan. He immediately went to find his counselor to ask about the situation, and the counselor told him that this was meal money subsidized quietly by the school's "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" project for students with financial difficulties who ate frugally. No application needed, no public announcement either — data finds the people, and money is quietly transferred. Since the project was launched 10 years ago, it has received a total of 9,958 person-times of donations from alumni, teachers and students, social enterprises, and caring individuals, with total charitable funds reaching 9.78 million yuan, having subsidized over 41,000 student-times, totaling more than 7.9 million yuan. This precision-based assistance that safeguards dignity, this silent and imperceptible protection that influences people silently and imperceptibly (润物无声, run wu wu sheng - "moisten things, without sound"), achieves the goals of cultivating people and establishing people through helping others.
Why was it established
Both safeguarding student dignity and ensuring dedicated use of funds
The "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" was established by the Education Development Foundation of Nanjing University of Science and Technology. The foundation was formally established in 2006 and is a non-public-offering foundation approved and registered by the Civil Affairs Department of Jiangsu Province, committed to strengthening ties and cooperation between the university and all sectors at home and abroad, raising funds for school operation, rewarding and subsidizing NJUST teachers and students, and promoting the development of education. Why was the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" established? Cheng Long, a participant in the project and then-director of the university's Education Development Foundation Affairs Management Office, recalled the events of 10 years ago. "During an exchange activity with education development foundations of other universities, everyone discussed the difficulties in subsidizing impoverished students, and someone mentioned the phenomenon of 'impoverished students fearing being labeled.'" Cheng Long said. "This problem is widespread." Wang Hu, who had work experience in the student affairs office and served as then-director of the university's External Liaison Department and secretary-general of the foundation's alumni association, said that every winter, when the school organized activities to send warmth to students with family difficulties by distributing cotton-padded jackets, some students were very sensitive about their identity as "impoverished students." Several times while eating in the cafeteria, he noticed that some classmates' dishes were very simple, appearing somewhat undernourished, and he wanted to pay to add dishes for the students, but was politely declined every time. Leng Jing, then-deputy director of the university's External Liaison Department and deputy secretary-general of the foundation's alumni association, who had many years of work experience in the Youth League committee, shared what she had learned: "Although the government and the school have a complete and systematic funding system, many subsidized students still use the subsidy funds to buy books, study materials, or to subsidize their families, making it difficult to guarantee that the subsidy funds are used to eat well."
Someone suggested: could we use cafeteria data to screen out students who spend relatively little on each meal? In this way, students could be subsidized through a method of "no application needed, direct transfer of funds," which would both safeguard student dignity and ensure dedicated use of funds, guaranteeing that they can eat their fill and eat well. Some questioned whether this "non-transparent" model might select the wrong people? What if someone deliberately ate less in order to receive subsidies?
Foundation staff visited many counselors and class cadres to gain in-depth understanding of the specific circumstances of impoverished students, especially their dining and study expenditures. "If a situation of deliberately eating less occurs, it shows that this student cares about the subsidy, and he or she may exactly be the kind of person we should help." After several rounds of intense discussion, everyone reached a unanimous opinion: do not wait until you are 100% certain before acting; if you have 90% certainty, you can start doing it first. In March 2016, after review and approval by the council of the Education Development Foundation of Nanjing University of Science and Technology, the project was formally launched, with an initial investment of 1 million yuan as seed funds, subsidizing 301 students in the first batch. Cheng Long explained that, based on multiple rounds of research findings such as cafeteria prices and students' approximate living expenditures, the school finalized the screening criteria for subsidy recipients and the subsidy standards: students who eat in the cafeteria more than 60 times per month with an average expenditure below 7 yuan per meal, that is, students whose total monthly expenditure is below 420 yuan, are subsidized according to the standard of 7 yuan per meal and 3 meals per day, making up the difference to 630 yuan, with the subsidy amount being the difference between average monthly expenditure and 630 yuan. To be more objective, at the beginning of each semester, the consumption data from the 4 months before the vacation while students were on campus is captured as the screening baseline, and students who enter the list will be subsidized until their undergraduate graduation. Xiao Guan admitted that he had aspired to become a scientist since childhood, so he applied to NJUST. "The silent care behind this meal card gives me the confidence to pursue the dream in my heart." Xiao Guan said.
How does it operate
Both openness and confidentiality are taken into account, and versions iterate with actual circumstances
Where would the road ahead lead? After the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" project was launched, this question became a topic at every work discussion. "We first mobilized donations on a small scale among alumni associations in various places, but the channels were still very narrow. Just at that moment, media got leads and wanted to come for interviews." Cheng Long recalled that initially everyone had concerns: "silent-mode financial aid" was the greatest feature of the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card"; but on second thought, for the project to operate over the long term, it had to be open and transparent, accepting social donations and supervision. What could be made public? What needed to be kept confidential?
In response, the school formulated two red lines: only publicize the project, do not expose privacy; financial aid must be invisible, but finances must be transparent. Through the website and WeChat official account of the Education Development Foundation of Nanjing University of Science and Technology, the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" publicly discloses donation income every week and disbursement expenditures every month. Donors and auditing institutions can query the student ID numbers and transaction records of subsidized students, but these do not correspond to students' names or other specific information. After its influence expanded, numerous alumni and caring individuals made donations one after another. In 2017, the Jiangsu Province Ruihua Charity Foundation established the "Ruihua Warm-Hearted Fund" at NJUST, donating 10 million yuan over 5 years to support school development in areas such as student meal card subsidies, financial aid and assistance, and incentive and guidance. Since 2018, the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" was formally renamed the "Ruihua Warm-Hearted Meal Card."
Wang Bo, director of NJUST's External Liaison Department and secretary-general of the Education Development Foundation, introduced that in order to help students in difficulty more precisely, the project underwent multiple version iterations. After version 1.0 had been running for a while, two students found the school and said that they were eating less because they were controlling their weight, and they returned the subsidies. In order to avoid letting people such as those losing weight "mistakenly enter" the project, and to add at any time students affected by family changes, sudden accidents, and other circumstances, in version 2.0 implemented since 2017, a counselor review and recommendation step was added. With the spread of mobile payment, relying solely on "swiping the meal card" gradually became unable to capture data accurately, and version 3.0 was born in 2020, integrating total data from physical cards and mobile terminals, and expanding the statistical scope from the cafeteria to consumption venues on campus such as the campus convenience store and water bars. Version 4.0, launched in 2022, adjusted the baseline with price changes, raising the make-up threshold to 750 yuan. "By continuously adjusting and optimizing according to actual circumstances, data can find people and find the right people, implementing 'non-intrusive assistance' thoroughly and meticulously." Wang Bo said. A reporter observed that currently the backend of the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" stores three sets of assistance lists: preliminary screening, review, and confirmation. Candidates for preliminary screening are identified based on big-data analysis of consumption frequency, amounts, and other factors; the review step involves counselors making additions or deletions based on their understanding of students' situations; and after the final assistance list is confirmed by the university's student affairs department and the foundation, subsidy funds are directly transferred to students' meal cards. Wang Bo introduced that the diversified participation model of "foundation + alumni + social forces," along with the coordinated mechanism of "technology + humanities + management," is the key to why the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" has withstood the test of time and operated stably.
What results have been achieved
Love and good deeds are continuously passed on, providing a reference model for other universities
The institutional innovation and humanistic care of "data screening + covert assistance" have not only precisely helped students in difficulty, but also triggered broad resonance, forming a multi-level, sustainable "long-tail effect."
"The extra money on the meal card eased my financial embarrassment and also made me feel respected. At that time, I made up my mind that when I had the means in the future, I would also help junior and senior schoolmates." Guo Qi (pseudonym), a 2016 graduate of NJUST's School of Chemical Engineering, now working in Beijing, regularly donates to the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" project. Zhong Hongfei, a 2017 graduate of the Intellectual Property School at NJUST majoring in law, now works at the People's Court of Jingning She Autonomous County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. He admitted that he was an indirect beneficiary of the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card": "The warm-hearted culture of my alma mater inspires me, and I also strive in case enforcement to seek judicial assistance and charitable assistance for impoverished applicants, to be a warm person."
"Students at NJUST have a tradition: every graduation season, many graduates do not withdraw the remaining balance on their meal cards, leaving the leftover money to the 'Warm-Hearted Meal Card' project; after graduation, they pass on the warmth and give back to society with practical actions." Zhao Yuyu, Guo Qi's counselor, said that this small meal card has allowed both teachers and students to feel the essence of education, which is to educate or influence people through gentle persuasion (春风化雨, chun feng hua yu - "spring wind, transform rain"): the school, with respect, care, and trust, cultivates students' self-reliance and gratitude, allowing love and good deeds to be continuously passed on, and this has become a value guide. "Currently, 231 universities have come to visit and exchange experiences." What makes Wang Bo proud is that the "Warm-Hearted Meal Card" has already gone beyond NJUST, benefiting more students. In Jiangsu, Southeast University's "Big Data Platform for Comprehensive Student Service Management" analyzes data such as campus card consumption and applies precise assistance that is免申即享 (exemption from application, immediate enjoyment) directly to students' campus all-in-one cards; Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications has been running its "Grapefruit Meal Card" warm public welfare program through "data analysis + precise assistance" for 5 years; at Jiangnan University, a dual-track model of "data monitoring + college review" provides "unnoticeable" assistance to specific student groups...
"This year, we plan to upgrade the 'Warm-Hearted Meal Card+' action." Zhu Junwu, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and vice president of Nanjing University of Science and Technology, told reporters that for students in difficulty screened out by big data, the school will link multiple departments to provide personalized academic and psychological counseling, career planning, employment interview guidance, and other full-life-cycle care services, so that students can not only eat well, but also better complete their studies and achieve employment.

Many years ago, while participating in a donation activity, I received photos of left-behind children holding books and thank-you letters stating they would study hard. As a donor, I felt somewhat uneasy, fearing that taking photos and writing letters would add pressure to the children's already sensitive little hearts.
In the Nanjing University of Science and Technology "Warm Meal Card" project, the most moving aspect is the dialectic of the invisible and the transparent.
The identity is invisible, but the need must be transparent. There are no applications, no public announcements, no interviews, and no photographs; subsidies are quietly deposited into meal cards. Big data filters in the background, and counselors verify the need for assistance from the side to confirm it. When reporters go to conduct interviews to try and dig up some personal stories, the teacher in charge of coordination is present throughout the entire process; at the beginning, they would not even allow questions regarding the students' grade levels or majors, striving to protect student privacy to the greatest extent possible.
The financial aid is invisible, but the mechanism is transparent. Income and expenditures are disclosed regularly; donors do not know who received help, but they know clearly where the charitable funds have gone. Consequently, the mechanism continues and constantly iterates, providing a replicable model for other schools.
Not exploiting poverty for emotional display (既不展览贫穷、消费眼泪, ji bu zhan lan pin qiong, xiao fei yan lei - "neither exhibit poverty, nor consume tears"), providing students with a quiet desk, while also operating under the sunlight to ensure the mechanism is sustainable; one part is hidden and one part is manifest, possessing both the softness of goodwill and the rigor of a system.

The heat will eventually fade, and to do things in a practical and down-to-earth manner (脚踏实地, jiao ta shi di - "foot, step, solid, ground") and to persevere in something over a long period (持之以恒, chi zhi yi heng - "hold, that,with,perseverance") are more able to withstand the test of time.
Hefei, Anhui, Wang Xianhuang, the owner of an egg pancake stall, received a food delivery order, with a note mentioning that the child was undergoing chemotherapy, requesting that the egg pancake be made half not spicy and half mildly spicy, and also no seaweed. After preparing the meal as requested, Wang Xianhuang additionally placed two cups of soy milk and 100 yuan in cash inside the meal box, and wrote down his blessings for the child. The kindness stirred up layers of warm ripples. The ill child's parent shared this matter on social media, hoping to bring some attention to Wang Xianhuang's egg pancake stall. Many netizens were moved by this, and one after another expressed support for Wang Xianhuang through practical actions. Some placed orders from afar, with the note "send the delivery to the rider and the sanitation worker"; others photographed the stall's payment QR code and posted it online, directly transferring money. Facing the surge in traffic, Wang Xianhuang instead closed some delivery channels, calling on everyone to consume rationally. He replaced the payment QR code, returned one by one the transfers made outside business hours, and donated the public welfare assistance bonus and part of recent operating income to the ill child and to the "Love Kitchen" project near the hospital. "I have sound limbs and can work to earn money," Wang Xianhuang said. Netizens coming to the store to consume belongs to his labor income, and he gladly accepts everyone's recognition, but the kindness of private transfers should not be accepted by him; he hopes everyone will donate funds to groups more in need. Actively helping others, yet staying calm in the face of the heat coming head-on, Wang Xianhuang's one advance and one retreat let people see sincerity and sobriety. Knowing how to "advance": seeing and catching others' needs in the subtlest details. "When someone needs help, if everyone lends a hand and gives some effort, society will become even better." Wang Xianhuang's entrepreneurial experience has been bumpy, and he still has debts, yet he empathizes deeply with someone else's situation (感同身受, gan tong shen shou - "feel, same, body, experience") for others in difficulty, helping within his own ability a family with whom he is a complete stranger (素昧平生, su mei ping sheng - "plain, unknown, meet, life"), and this kind of putting oneself in someone else's shoes (将心比心, jiang xin bi xin - "take, heart, compare, heart") empathy and the purity of expecting nothing in return are especially moving. He also knows how to "retreat": facing the swarming attention, he maintains rationality. Wang Xianhuang's small stall has just started, and being "seen" by the traffic is a good thing for business. But online "orders exploding" and offline queues are also a test for this small shop. He calls on everyone to pay attention to more families of the same kind, guiding kindness toward groups in need — this is respect for kindness. His choice reminds people of Peng Qinglin, a delivery rider in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The heroic deed of jumping from a high bridge into the river to save a life three years ago won Peng Qinglin countless praise. Afterwards, he politely declined high-salary invitations from enterprises and various rewards, continued to deliver food, and founded a public welfare service center to help more people. Not long ago, Peng Qinglin again talked a delivery rider who had wanted to take his own life out of despair. The heat will eventually fade, and to do things in a practical and down-to-earth manner and to persevere in something over a long period are more able to withstand the test of time. Perceiving kindness, passing on warmth, kind people move people, but their sobriety is even more admirable.

“Bang!”
On the evening of August 25, on Zhongshan Road, Heping District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, a dull thud interrupted the conversation between Ju Xiaohang and her friends. At the time, they were sitting at an open-air seat outside the entrance of a restaurant. Ju Xiaohang turned her head to look: a girl had fallen off the back seat of an electric bicycle and collapsed in the middle of the road. The girl driving the electric bicycle also failed to stay steady, and fell with her bike more than six or seven meters away. A designated-driver surnamed Wan, who was waiting for work at the restaurant entrance, and his companion hurried forward to check on the situation. At this moment, Ju Xiaohang's nerves instantly tightened. First, a white car narrowly swerved around, then a gray car approaching from not far away showed no sign of slowing down at all. Clearly, the driver had not noticed the situation in the middle of the road.
“Oh no, he didn't see it!” Ju Xiaohang hurriedly rushed toward the middle of the road, ran to the front of the fallen girl, spread her arms wide and waved them toward the direction of the oncoming car, signaling it to slow down and avoid. The sound of a sharp brake rang out, and the front of the car came to a stop less than half a step away from Ju Xiaohang. Behind her, there was the girl who had fallen to the ground. The driver looked furious, and Ju Xiaohang turned sideways and pointed behind her, signaling that there was a situation and asking him to go around. Seeing the fallen girl, the driver immediately rolled down his window and thanked Ju Xiaohang: “Thank you! I really didn't see anything just now……”
Mr. Wan, who was helping the girl on the electric bicycle at the time, happened to see Ju Xiaohang sprinting over to stop the car. “That was so dangerous. If that car hadn't stopped, the consequences would have been unimaginable or disastrous (不堪设想, bu kan she xiang - "cannot endure, think of").” Mr. Wan gave Ju Xiaohang a thumbs-up. “You are really something!”
The ambulance arrived quickly, the injured girl was taken to the hospital, and the road returned to order. Ju Xiaohang, age 35 this year, works at a Western restaurant and is recognized by her friends as someone with a warm heart. “I am indeed a bit scared in hindsight, but at the time I couldn't spare the thought for that. It was so dangerous, I could not turn a blind eye to it (置之不理, zhi zhi bu li - "place it, not care").” Ju Xiaohang said.

An emergency liaison group was established with Nepal's meteorological department via WeChat to share relevant information in real time; China and Nepal conducted joint border weather consultations; a customized version of "Mazu" was developed specifically for Nepal's Department of Hydrology and Meteorology...
After the "8·26" mudslide disaster in Nepal, China's meteorological, water conservancy, and natural resources departments carried out close cooperation with relevant Nepalese authorities, sharing monitoring information, providing meteorological and hydrological products and services, and jointly responding to the disaster. A Nepal meteorological support task force was formed to share meteorological and hydrological monitoring information.
On the morning of August 26, due to the mudslide disaster on the Nepalese side, the Gyirong Port in Gyirong County, Shigatse City, Tibet was severely affected. Gyirong Port is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, with high altitude, complex terrain conditions, and changeable weather. "From late August to early September this year, on the plateau, especially along the border area, cold air was active and precipitation weather was frequent, posing severe challenges to rescue work," said Ma Xuekuan, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory. "At noon on August 26, after receiving the relevant request from Nepal's Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, we organized the first joint consultation the very same afternoon, and on the afternoon of the 31st we conducted a second joint consultation with the Nepalese side," Zhang Tianhang, senior engineer of the Operations Office of the World Meteorological Center (Beijing) of the China Meteorological Administration, told reporters. Previously, both sides had established a WeChat working group to share relevant information in real time. The emergency joint consultation on the afternoon of the 26th relied on the cloud-based meteorological early warning business platform "Mazu" to jointly conduct weather situation assessment and analyze subsequent precipitation development. Subsequently, within the China Meteorological Administration, a Nepal meteorological support task force was formed, providing the Nepalese side with English-language special meteorological monitoring and forecasting service reports on a daily basis. The content of the special reports was very detailed, including monitored actual conditions and future forecast conditions. In the monitored actual conditions section, Fengyun meteorological satellite infrared cloud images were provided, as well as actual temperature and precipitation products with 1-kilometer resolution around the disaster area. In addition, in response to the needs of the Nepalese side, the latest special report also provided lightning monitoring products based on Fengyun meteorological satellites. In terms of forecasting, the main products provided were 1-kilometer resolution weather forecast products for the next 7 days near the disaster area, as well as areal precipitation forecast products for the next 3 days and the next 7 days. "In addition, we also continuously updated extended-range forecasts for 15–30 days. Overall, we provided the Nepalese side with seamless forecast services within 30 days, providing strong support for Nepal's rescue operations," Zhang Tianhang said. After the disaster occurred, a barrier lake formed near the confluence where Nepal's Cuojian River entered China's Pure Puchang Tsangpo. The Ministry of Water Resources immediately dispatched a hydrological emergency monitoring team to the front line, jointly conducting hydrological monitoring, forecasting, and early warning with staff of the Tibet Autonomous Region Hydrology and Water Resources Survey Bureau. Currently, the Ministry of Water Resources provides the Nepalese side daily with information on five aspects: the development trend of the Pure Puchang Tsangpo barrier lake, the chain-risk assessment of the impact crater of the Cuojian River, the risk investigation of glacial lakes in the Gyirong Zangbo basin, the development and risk prediction of new barrier lakes, and hydrological emergency monitoring information, providing strong support for rescue and relief operations on the Nepalese side downstream. Providing Nepal with a customized version of the "Mazu" meteorological intelligent early warning plan to compensate for insufficient monitoring
Nepal has only 17 meteorological observation stations shared with international organizations nationwide, with insufficient coverage density. China has built the world's largest integrated space-air-ground system (空天地一体化, kong tian di yi ti hua - "air, space, ground, one integrated") comprehensive three-dimensional meteorological observation system, with high-precision observation equipment such as Fengyun meteorological satellites and weather radars performing excellently. After the disaster, the China Meteorological Administration immediately carried out relevant deployment, mobilizing forces at the national, provincial, municipal, and county levels to establish an emergency support task force. On the night of the 26th, small ground observation stations were deployed around the disaster area, and on September 1, a mobile weather radar was deployed near the disaster area. "Very soon after the disaster, we set up a temporary meteorological observation station in Jiangcun, only a few kilometers from Gyirong Port, and gradually deployed observation equipment such as meteorological emergency vehicles. These devices promptly supplemented our understanding of local weather information, and to a large extent enriched and improved the refinement of our local weather forecasts and the accuracy of forecast results," Ma Xuekuan said. Zhang Tianhang introduced that China, through the World Meteorological Organization, shared station observation data bidirectionally with Nepal, but the Nepalese side's own monitoring equipment was insufficient, and its ability to monitor sudden disaster weather was somewhat lacking. For this reason, during the first joint consultation between the meteorological departments of China and Nepal, the China Meteorological Administration introduced to the Nepalese side the public version of the cloud-based meteorological early warning business platform of China's meteorological intelligent early warning plan "Mazu", which featured various products such as monitoring, forecasting, early warning, and impact forecasting, which would effectively compensate for the situation of insufficient meteorological monitoring in Nepal. Before the second consultation on August 31, the China Meteorological Administration stepped up its work and completed the production of a customized version of "Mazu" for Nepal. In the Nepal customized version, information on Nepal's own national borders and provincial borders provided by the Nepalese side was built in. China's meteorological intelligent early warning plan "Mazu" played an important role in the response to this disaster event, providing timely rescue support to Nepal and being welcomed by the Nepalese side. "During the second consultation, we received requests from the Nepalese side hoping that the platform would integrate lightning monitoring products, sub-seasonal to seasonal forecast products, and more refined monitoring and forecasting products," Zhang Tianhang said. Since then, a large number of meteorological monitoring products and observation data have been shared with the Nepalese side through the Nepal customized version of "Mazu". In response to the full support given by the China Meteorological Administration, Nepal's Department of Hydrology and Meteorology sent a letter to the China Meteorological Administration expressing gratitude. In the future, on the basis of the good cooperation between both sides, the Chinese side is willing to provide meteorological equipment such as radars and ground observation stations to the Nepalese side, to further enhance Nepal's meteorological observation capability, and to work with Nepal to build a one-stop early warning solution. The provision and sharing of monitoring information and products strongly support the rescue work of both China and Nepal
In 1 minute, real-time satellite rapid-scanning of the disaster area. After the disaster, the China Meteorological Administration immediately activated the Fengyun meteorological satellite international user service response mechanism, providing the Nepalese disaster area with Fengyun meteorological satellite rapid-scan products with a spatial resolution of 250 meters and a temporal resolution of 1 minute, as well as multiple high-resolution forecast products. A hundred sky eyes scanned, promptly assessing the cause and process of the disaster. Guo Zhaocheng, senior engineer of the China Aero Geophysical Survey and Remote Sensing Center for Natural Resources, introduced that the China Aero Geophysical Survey and Remote Sensing Center for Natural Resources promptly coordinated nearly a hundred public-interest satellites and commercial satellites to scan the disaster area and surrounding areas at high frequency, and relevant experts promptly assessed the disaster location, cause and process, impact scope, and disaster scale, promptly publishing the information to the public. Peng Wanbing, senior engineer of the Upper Yangtze River Hydrology and Water Resources Survey Bureau of the Hydrology Bureau of the Changjiang Water Resources Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources, introduced, "Currently, the barrier lake has basically been eliminated, and the focus of the hydrological emergency monitoring team's work is to establish and enhance the hydrological monitoring, early warning, and forecasting system and capability of the entire basin. We monitor important risk points, provide hydrological monitoring, early warning, and forecasting information in real time, and continue to share hydrological monitoring information with the Nepalese side."
The provision and sharing of these monitoring information and products strongly support the rescue work of both China and Nepal, demonstrating the determination of both sides to jointly respond to natural disasters and their shared expectation of rebuilding their homes. Disasters are merciless, but the human world has compassion. A mudslide disaster can destroy homes, but it cannot wash away the power of to help each other in times of need (守望相助, shou wang xiang zhu - "watch, guard, help, assist"). With strength in unity (众志成城, zhong zhi cheng cheng - "collective will, form city"), we join hands to help each other, together guarding our shared planetary home.

As night falls, the "Chinatown" in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, gradually lights up, and steam rises thickly inside the Ma Ji beef noodle shop. During a recent visit, this reporter saw that Ma Gamu, the shop owner from Gansu, flips his wrists deftly, and a lump of white dough is transformed through pulling and stretching into evenly fine, long noodles; after being put into the pot, scooped out, and topped with beef bone broth that has been simmered for a long time, a bowl of pulled noodles is soon placed before the diner. In just one year, the number of Chinese pulled noodle shops in Bishkek has grown from 2 to 4, and nearly four in ten diners inside the shops are local residents. The chewy texture and rich broth have made the "Chinese flavor" a new choice for local diners.
The resonance on the tip of the tongue is often the most intuitive starting point for people-to-people connectivity. The Chinese flavors in Bishkek go far beyond a bowl of pulled noodles: in hot pot restaurants, locals skillfully mix dipping sauces and sit around the pot; in front of malatang stalls, young diners select their own ingredients, pay by weight, and are already familiar with choosing among different levels of spiciness. Some shop owners proactively replace side dishes with local halal sausages, adapting to local dietary preferences while preserving Chinese cooking techniques. This kind of adjustment, to suit local conditions (因地制宜, yin di zhi yi - "according to the place, implement"), is precisely where the vitality of Chinese culture going global lies—achieving a perfect integration on the basis of respecting local customs.
Food is just one facet of Chinese elements blending into local daily life. In the Jalal-Abad region, through which the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway passes, billboards reading "China Goods Consolidated Shipping" stand along the streets. In the past, local residents who wanted to purchase Chinese goods had to drive to Chinese shopping malls, carrying large and small bags on their shoulders and in their hands; now, more and more consumers select products and compare prices through Chinese cross-border e-commerce platforms, and after placing orders, freight companies consolidate shipments directly from warehouses in China. According to local logistics companies, regular parcels can reach consumers in about two weeks. Facilitating both people-to-people exchange and trade (人畅其行，物畅其流, ren chang qi xing, wu chang qi liu - "people travel freely, goods flow smoothly"),in recent years, the modernization and upgrading of the China-Kyrgyzstan border ports has been accelerated, and the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project is advancing steadily. The geographical barriers once formed by high mountains and long roads are being gradually dissolved by increasingly smooth transportation networks. More and more Chinese goods and services are entering ordinary Kyrgyz households along convenient routes, bringing more convenience and possibilities to the lives of local residents.
Changes in modes of travel also record the people-centered warmth of bilateral cooperation. For a long time, many old-style trams that have been in service for years could be seen on the streets of Bishkek—poorly ventilated in summer, insufficiently insulated in winter, leaving residents with a poor travel experience. Now, Chinese electric buses with a sleek appearance and new energy vehicles shuttle through the streets and alleys, becoming a moving landscape in the city. A local driver of a Chinese-brand electric taxi told this reporter that Chinese new energy vehicles are environmentally friendly, energy-saving, cost-effective, and comfortable to ride, fitting the travel needs of local residents very well. From "niche novelty" to "popular choice," the popularization of Chinese new energy transportation has not only provided pragmatic solutions for the upgrading of local public transport, but also reflects the resonance of green development concepts between China and Kyrgyzstan
From the "Chinese language craze" to Chinese dramas, cultural consumption among local young people has also gained a new fashion. In bookstores in Bishkek, HSK test textbooks are placed in prominent positions on the shelves, and young people often stop to browse them; in university classrooms, local students recite ancient Chinese poetry, experiencing the charm of Chinese culture. Stepping out of the books, the sharing of Chinese food, the popularity of Chinese films and TV dramas, and the rise of Chinese micro-dramas are becoming vivid windows through which locals understand contemporary China. The popularity of Chinese micro-dramas has also brought new ideas to the development of local digital entertainment. Local creative teams in Kyrgyzstan have begun soliciting vertical-screen short drama works via social media, and digital entertainment is gradually becoming a new fashion in cultural consumption among local young people
The two-way endeavor amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, and the mutual learning and integration in everyday life, are precisely the most solid foundation of popular support for China-Kyrgyzstan good-neighborliness and friendship. These trickling streams, once gathered, will eventually become a mighty force driving bilateral relations to maintain steady progress and achieve long-term success (行稳致远, xing wen zhi yuan - "walk steadily, reach far").
Return to TopZakharova: Deployment of "Typhoon" Missile Systems in Japan Is "Unacceptable"
(Xinhua News Agency, Vladivostok, September 1) (Reporters Wang Zuokui, Sun Ping) Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on the 1st that the deployment of U.S. "Typhoon" missile systems on Japanese territory is "absolutely unacceptable" for Russia.
Zakharova pointed out at a press conference held on the same day at the 11th Eastern Economic Forum that there are reports that Japan, the United States, and Australia plan to hold the "Oriental Shield" joint exercise from September 8 to 24 on Hokkaido Island and in areas near the border of the Russian Federation, and during the exercise they will use the U.S. ground-based "Typhoon" missile system which can be used to launch medium- and short-range missiles. The deployment of such weapons on Japanese territory, including deployment under the pretext of military exercises, will pose a threat to Russia's security, is "absolutely unacceptable" for Russia, and the Russian side will take countermeasures to ensure its own national defense security. Zakharova said that on August 31 the Russian side lodged a representation with the Japanese Embassy in Russia, expressing its concern over the joint military exercise of Japan, the United States, and Australia, and clearly stating that provocative military actions are not permitted in the border areas of the Russian Far East. Zakharova pointed out that September 3 will mark the anniversary of the victory over militarist Japan and the end of the Second World War. At present, the Japanese government still stubbornly refuses to fully acknowledge the results of the Second World War, and its policy of remilitarization and attempts to cover up its crimes of aggression are increasingly causing concern among neighboring countries and most countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Zakharova once again called on the Japanese authorities to return to the position of their "peace constitution."
Pakistan Foreign Ministry: Hopes the U.S. and Iran Will Return to the Negotiating Table
(Xinhua News Agency, Islamabad, September 2) (Reporter Yang Kai) Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said at a regular press conference on the 2nd that Pakistan will continue to make efforts to promote dialogue and consultation between the United States and Iran, especially continuing to make efforts on the key issue of the Strait of Hormuz, and hopes that both sides can return to the negotiating table. Andrabi said that despite the recent escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran, the Pakistani side still hopes to resolve the issue through diplomatic channels. As long as the United States and Iran still have the will for dialogue, the Pakistani side is ready to help restore peace.
Argentina Foreign Minister: Will Safeguard Sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands with More Concrete Diplomatic Actions
(Xinhua News Agency, Buenos Aires, September 1) (Reporter Zhang Duo) Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno said on the evening of August 31 that he will safeguard Argentina's sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands (abbreviated as the "Malvinas Islands," known as the Falkland Islands in Britain) with more concrete diplomatic actions and more effective means. It is reported that the Argentine government's cabinet meeting on the 1st will discuss issues related to the Malvinas Islands. Quirno said when accepting media interviews that evening that the Malvinas Islands are something held dear to one's heart (心之所系, xin zhi suo xi - "heart, particle, what, connects") for every Argentine, that the Argentine government's position in the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands is very clear, and that it has the obligation and responsibility to safeguard this sovereignty claim. U.S. President Trump publicly stated on August 31 that he might reconsider the U.S. government's position in the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands. Britain's "Daily Telegraph" reported on August 28 that the U.S. government might withdraw its support for Britain in the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands, so as to pressure the British government to increase its defense spending within the NATO framework. In April this year, an internal email leaked from the U.S. Department of Defense showed that Trump was considering no longer supporting Britain's position in the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas Islands. Argentina and Britain have a dispute over the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands. In April 1982, the two countries broke out a war over the question of the ownership of the Malvinas Islands, and the war ended with Britain's victory. After its defeat, Argentina has never given up its claim to sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, while Britain has refused to negotiate on the question of sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands.

It has been just over one month since the "Jingdezhen Handmade Porcelain Industry Heritage Site" was successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List. Recently, an international symposium on "Cultural Heritage Protection and the Inheritance and Innovation of Ceramic Culture" was held in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province. Experts and scholars from related fields, inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, young entrepreneurs, and "foreign Jingdezhen drifters" gathered together in one place (会聚一堂, hui ju yi tang - "gather, together, one, hall"), jointly discussing the protection and development of living heritage and exploring new paths for ceramic culture to go global. Lu Zhou, director of the National Heritage Center at Tsinghua University, believes that the value of the "Jingdezhen Handmade Porcelain Industry Heritage Site" lies not only in its static remains, but also in the porcelain-making system that has continued for a thousand years and the vitality of folk inheritance; it should build a "Jingdezhen model" of living heritage protection with global demonstrative significance. An Cheng, a researcher at the China Cultural Heritage Research Institute, stated that the interpretation of heritage value requires establishing a narrative system that is both recognized by the international heritage community and able to evoke public empathy, transforming "professional discourse" into "global empathy." Xie Maosong, a senior research fellow at the National Strategy Research Institute of Tsinghua University, emphasized from the height of the history of civilization that Jingdezhen occupies a unique position on the map of world civilizations, and that after the successful World Heritage application, it is fully capable of building itself into a contemporary sample of mutual learning among civilizations (文明互鉴, wen ming hu jian - "civilization, mutual, learn from each other"). Fu Changmin, a representative inheritor of Jingdezhen handmade porcelain-making technique, a national-level intangible cultural heritage, confirmed this point with her craftsmanship — the 72-step porcelain-making process continues as a living tradition, and the unique handcrafted warmth of the famille-rose technique cannot be replaced by machines. Her works have appeared on the international stage many times, showcasing the contemporary charm of ceramic culture. At the Imperial Kiln Museum, pieces of broken porcelain pieced together to restore a Ming-dynasty Chenghua-period three-color duck-shaped incense burner, along with various adorable ceramic derivative products, attracted the attending guests. "Archaeological evidence and documentary records confirm that Jingdezhen porcelain was sold far and wide across the world via the Maritime Silk Road." The museum's director, Weng Yanjun, is leading his team to advance the construction of the "Ancient Ceramic Gene Bank," extracting data from tens of thousands of unearthed ancient ceramic shards, letting broken porcelain "speak."
In terms of inheritance, innovation, and talent cultivation, Jingdezhen is building an open, inclusive international entrepreneur ecosystem. Zhang Jingjing, vice president of Jingdezhen Ceramic University, introduced that Jingdezhen Ceramic University continuously builds an international academic platform, strives to establish an independent ceramic academic system, and break down the barriers of Western evaluation systems. The "Jingdezhen International Ceramic Art Biennale," founded by the university, has been held for three consecutive sessions, receiving a total of 6,669 submitted works from more than 60 countries worldwide, filling the gap in China's high-end, routine international ceramic academic exhibitions. In June this year, the "Chinese Porcelain · World Tour — Overseas Touring Exhibition of Contemporary Chinese Ceramic Art," initiated by Zhang Jingjing, successively visited Turkey, Luxembourg, and France, using transnational cultural exchange to help Chinese ceramic culture go global. Local young entrepreneurs and foreign creators empower each other, building an open and inclusive entrepreneur ecosystem. At the "Home of Jingdezhen Drifters" in Sanbao Village, Zhushan District, Jingdezhen, Zhang Chen, president of the Xinqingnian Huti Porcelain Society, has been rooted in the porcelain capital for twenty years, having established cooperation with 43 institutions at home and abroad, using pieces of porcelain to tell China's story to the world. At present, Jingdezhen has gathered more than 3,400 inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, over 100,000 young entrepreneurs, over 60,000 "Jingdezhen drifters," and more than 5,000 "foreign Jingdezhen drifters."
Under the night sky, the Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Block glows with shifting light and shadow. Since 2015, it has regularly launched an artist-in-residence program, namely the "Migratory Bird Plan," aimed at attracting outstanding artists from home and abroad to come here for resident creation and exchange, jointly building an artistic ecosystem. Every year, artists from more than 50 countries and regions stay here for three months, exchanging, learning, and creating. "Let go of presuppositions, let the clay speak for itself." Pepe, an artist from Spain, is a ceramic craftsman from the Raval old town of Barcelona; in Taoxichuan, he saw more creative possibilities. "We have established a unique emotional bond with Jingdezhen. When everyone returns to their own countries, they naturally become cultural ambassadors of Jingdezhen." Ke Yang, a "foreign Jingdezhen drifter" from France, saidthat he first visited Jingdezhen in 2017, originally planning only a three-month academic exchange, yet has now lived in Jingdezhen for nine years. "Jingdezhen is a city of living heritage; I feel that I have stepped into a city where ceramic history is still 'breathing' and still 'growing.'" In Ke Yang's view, the most valuable thing about Jingdezhen is its openness: "Many masters are generous with their knowledge, teaching young students, independent artists, and also benefiting us overseas creators without reservation."
New products shape new business formats; ceramic trendy toys are leading Jingdezhen art ceramics to open a new chapter. Located in Changjiang District, Jingdezhen, the Ceramic Trendy Toy Town, linking hands with hundreds of well-known domestic and international IPs such as Miffy and Disney, connecting more than 5,000 trendy art creators, forming a complete closed loop of "demand matching — creative generation — technical realization — commercial landing," turning more and more creativity from "sparks of inspiration" into "market bestsellers." Since theperation of this town from May last year to now, its output value has exceeded 100 million yuan. Huang Hu, the town's operations director, saidthat historically, Jingdezhen porcelain once played the role of "trendy toys," being treasures eagerly pursued by European aristocrats; today, ceramic trendy toys are continuing this history of cross-cultural dialogue in a more fashionable way.

Adolescents and young people are the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. In recent years, the overall physical fitness of adolescent students in our country has been improving, but the problems of the "four smalls" — "small glasses," "small chubby," "small bean sprouts," and "small anxiety" — still show a trend of early onset and high incidence, arousing widespread concern. At the Third Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the All-China Youth Federation and the Communist Youth League circle submitted the "Proposal on Caring for the Physical and Mental Health of Adolescents," which was also rated as one of the CPPCC National Committee's good proposals for 2025. In November 2025, the Ministry of Education, the lead handling unit of the proposal, jointly with multiple departments, issued the "Opinions on Implementing the Plan for Strengthening Students' Physique," fully absorbing the opinions and suggestions in the proposal. From multi-party research, to jointly working on the same topic, to policy implementation, a proposal completed the transformation from the voices of public opinion to tangible governance results, demonstrating the unique advantages and vitality of socialist consultative democracy.
Improve the quality of research, ensure that problems are identified accurately and suggestions are made substantively
"Children are always sitting writing homework, not enough time for exercise"; "They look at phones too much, and their myopia is getting more and more serious"; "Academic pressure is high, and their emotions are also prone to fluctuation"...
These seemingly scattered "small worries" behind them reflect the "major issue" of adolescent physical and mental health. In recent years, the overall myopia rate among children and adolescents in our country has exceeded 50%, and the overweight and obesity rate among children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 is approximately 19%. The results of the national survey on student physique and health show that 9.4% of adolescents have both myopia and obesity simultaneously, and the incidence of anxiety among this comorbid group is several times higher, with multiple diseases coexisting exacerbating health risks. Sun Hongyan, a researcher at the China Youth and Children Research Center, stated that a survey conducted by the center targeting nearly 25,000 primary and secondary school students in 10 provinces found that academic pressure, family relationships, and lifestyle are all influencing factors of the "four smalls" problems, "which appear to be problems of the eyes, the body, and the psyche, but are in fact a reflection of the living environment of adolescents."
"No investigation, no right to speak (没有调查就没有发言权, mei you diao cha jiu mei you fa yan quan - "not have investigation then not have right to speak"), and investigation must be carried through the entire process of brewing and drafting the proposal." Teng Sufen, a second-level inspector of the Department of Rights Protection for Minors under the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, introduced that members of the CPPCC National Committee from the Communist Youth League and All-China Youth Federation circle formed a special research team, linking up with the Central School of the Communist Youth League (China Youth University of Political Studies) and the China Youth and Children Research Center, systematically sorting out policies and regulations issued in recent years by the state and local governments on student sports, mental health, myopia prevention and control, etc. At the same time, relying on the national 12355 hotline guidance platform, they analyzed the relevant consultations received by 83 hotlines nationwide over the past nearly 5 years. How should the problem be solved? The answer must be sought on campus.
In a psychology class at the High School Affiliated to Capital Normal University, students drew "energy palms," writing down their own characteristics in personality, interests, learning abilities, etc., and then classmates helped them find shining points they had not discovered themselves; at Beijing Cuiwei Primary School, children turned abstract emotions into concrete patterns, and then completed release through tearing, throwing away, etc., learning in experience how to get along with emotions...
The research group walked into multiple schools to conduct field research, engaging in face-to-face exchanges with principals, frontline teachers, and students; distributed questionnaires to primary and secondary school students in 9 provinces including Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, etc., obtaining first-hand data; held "Communist Youth League in Dialogue with People's Congress Deputies and CPPCC Members" activities on the theme of adolescent mental health, understanding what adolescents think, need, and hope for from multiple dimensions and scenarios, ensuring that problems are identified accurately and suggestions are made substantively.
After in-depth research, demonstration, repeated polishing, and revision, at the Third Session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee, the Communist Youth League and All-China Youth Federation circle submitted the "Proposal on Caring for the Physical and Mental Health of Adolescents," putting forward suggestions including guiding adolescents to generally master scientific exercise methods and develop healthy living habits; optimizing school physical education curricula and evaluation mechanisms; establishing normalized adolescent physique monitoring mechanisms; strengthening the popularization of adolescent mental health knowledge and cultivating positive psychological qualities; and fully equipping schools with full-time mental health teaching staff, etc.
Both handling and proposing sides work on the same topic together, building consensus through in-depth consultation
After the proposal was registered, it was listed as a key proposal of the CPPCC National Committee for special supervision and handling. The CPPCC National Committee organized a research group to specially carry out supervision-and-handling research on the key proposal, going deep into the front line to understand the situation and forming a special report, laying a solid foundation for the implementation and transformation of the proposal. This time, the venue for handling the proposal was moved onto the campus. In September 2025, the Proposal Committee of the CPPCC National Committee organized both handling and proposing sides and some members to go to Beijing Sanfan Middle School to carry out member duty performance activities of serving the people (服务为民, fu wu wei min - "serve for the people"), and held a consultation meeting on proposal handling around "Improving the Level of Physical and Mental Health of Adolescents," where responsible comrades from relevant departments of the Ministry of Education and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League had in-depth discussions with members and jointly discussed countermeasures. At the consultation meeting site, there was also a special "open class."
"Life is like a piece of iron; the more it is hammered, the more it can spark; growth is like climbing a mountain; the harder the summit push, the more beautiful the scenery one can harvest..." Wang Yaping, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and astronaut of the Astronaut Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, delivered a talk titled "Having lofty ambitions and great capabilities" (心有凌云志，手可摘星辰, xin you ling yun zhi, shou ke zhai xing chen - "heart has soaring ambitions, hands can pluck stars"), recounting her growth journey to becoming an astronaut, sharing her experiences of two space missions and bits of daily training, guiding children to cultivate positive psychology and forge tenacious willpower.
"We further deepen consultation around the situations reflected and suggestions put forward in the proposal, hoping that through consultation and exchange between both handling and proposing sides, we can build greater consensus, promote work development, and effectively give play to the role of key proposals." Su Guiguang, deputy resident director of the Proposal Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, said. At the consultation meeting, relevant persons in charge of Beijing Sanfan Middle School introduced their exploratory practices in actively cultivating the physical and mental health of students: the school has one physical education class every day, guides students to actively participate in sports through normalized activities such as sports carnivals and sports festivals, and on the basis of the original music and art classes, has opened film, dance, and drama classes to help shape students' character. In this regard, Li Yanhu, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and deputy director of the Institute of Sports Medicine under the General Administration of Sport of China, expressed great approval: "In the process of growing up, children inevitably encounter injuries, failures, setbacks, and academic pressure; sports can endow them with powerful inner strength to face challenges head-on." Wu Peixin, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and Party Secretary of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, suggested building an independent screening and intervention technical system, promoting online platforms to use big data and artificial intelligence to establish mental health early warning systems, and using scientific and technological means to fill the gap in supply. How can the profound and penetrating insights (真知灼见, zhen zhi zhuo jian - "true knowledge, bright insight") of members be transformed into operable and implementable policy measures? The key lies in continuous communication, consultation, and concerted efforts between both handling and proposing sides. The Ministry of Education, as the lead handling unit, treated proposal handling as a powerful driver for deepening its professional work, held multiple multi-department joint consultation meetings, proactively communicated before handling, solicited opinions during handling, and conducted follow-up visits after handling. "Through mutual visits, consultation forums, and other multiple means, the proposers deeply participated in the entire process of proposal handling, playing a role in promoting handling, increasing consensus, and consolidating unity." Teng Sufen said.
"Both handling and proposing sides have narrowed the distance through in-depth consultation, stimulated governance wisdom through integration, truly achieving joint work on the same topic, and letting proposal handling enter the 'fast lane'." Ni Bangwen, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and former Party Secretary of the Central School of the Communist Youth League (China Youth University of Political Studies), said with deep feeling.
Grasp policy implementation firmly, transform institutional advantages into effectiveness that benefits youth
As the concerted efforts of both handling and proposing sides deepened comprehensively, the profound and penetrating insights in the proposal were ultimately transformed into tangible measures. In October 2025, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the "Ten Measures for Further Strengthening Mental Health Work in Primary and Secondary Schools," proposing the full implementation of "2 hours of physical activity every day." In November, the Ministry of Education jointly with multiple departments issued the "Opinions on Implementing the Plan for Strengthening Students' Physique" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), with the goal of enhancing students' physique and promoting students' physical and mental health, putting forward "twenty measures" from eight aspects including deepening the reform of physical education teaching, strengthening the construction of the teaching workforce, and promoting social coordination. A set of policy "combined punches" to promote students' physical and mental health is accelerating its formation.
"To solve the problem of students' physical and mental health, sports are the simplest and most effective path." A responsible person from the Department of Physical, Health, Arts and Education of the Ministry of Education said that the "Opinions" puts forward a series of pragmatic measures to promote the high-quality development of school physical education, stimulating new momentum for the high-quality development of school physical education, promoting local governments and schools to effectively enhance students' physical fitness, and promote students' healthy growth and comprehensive development. Comparing with the "Opinions," it is not difficult to find that the suggestions called for in the proposal, such as deepening the integration of sports and education and building intelligent prevention and control systems, have been fully absorbed, playing an active role in promoting the five domains of education simultaneously (五育并举, wu yu bing ju - "five educations together lift") and integrated education. Nowadays, exercising 2 hours every day is becoming a daily routine on campuses everywhere, with more and more students "sweating on their bodies and light in their eyes": Beijing has launched the "class league" league matches for primary and secondary schools; Hainan has carried out dozens of school-stage-wide sports events...
The introduction of the policy is the "first half of the article," while implementation and tangible results are the crucial "second half of the article." The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League has carried out a series of activities to coordinate with the in-depth advancement of the policy: launching books on the theoretical foundations and operational practices of adolescent mental health, promoting the integrated education model of "ideological and political education + psychology"; extensively initiating activities such as the "Strive to Be a Good Young Pioneer in the New Era Red Scarf Training Camp," letting children temper their indomitable spirit through sweating and running. Tang Jie, director of the Department of Rights Protection for Minors under the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, said that taking proposal handling as a bond, continuously deepening inter-departmental coordination and linkage, not only completing high-quality replies to the proposal, but also promoting the transformation of the results of suggestions into normalized measures benefiting youth, demonstrating the unique advantages of whole-process people's democracy (全过程人民民主, quan guo cheng ren min min zhu - "whole process people democracy").

Recently, the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee organized a national conditions inspection and service group composed of non-Party academicians, experts, and overseas-returned scholars to carry out inspection and service activities in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. During their stay in Ningxia, the service group went deep into the four cities of Yinchuan, Wuzhong, Zhongwei, and Guyuan, visiting more than 20 units including government departments, institutions of higher learning, scientific research institutes, medical institutions, industrial parks, and key enterprises, carrying out service activities such as technical consultation, academic reports, symposium exchanges, and on-site guidance, fully leveraging their professional advantages, actively offering suggestions and advice, and pooling wisdom and strength to boost Ningxia's high-quality economic and social development. Through the inspection, members of the service group keenly felt the strong pulse of Ningxia's high-quality development, and strengthened their confidence and resolve to advance Chinese-style modernization (中国式现代化, zhongguo shi xiandaihua - "China style modernization") and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Leveraging advantages, proactively connecting with needs
Upon arriving in Yinchuan, the academicians and experts immediately went separately to various enterprises and public institutions, losing no time in carrying out technical consultation and business guidance work. From enterprise workshops to universities and research institutes, from scientific research bases to the front line of industry, members of the service group conducted earnest research, putting forward opinions and suggestions on pain-point problems. Entering the Ningxia Liupanshan Laboratory, Guo Lei, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and dean of the Institute of Aerospace Bionic Intelligence at Beihang University, held an in-depth symposium exchange with front-line engineers, saying: "At present, the cooperation between Beihang University and the Liupanshan Laboratory is achieving increasingly notable results. In the future, we will continue to deepen cooperation, empowering scientific innovation with talent, and driving industry with scientific innovation."
Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the Ningxia Data Bureau, a"brainstorming"session on how Ningxia can promote the high-quality development of the digital economy was unfolding enthusiastically. Zhang Ying, associate dean of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, conducted in-depth exchanges with relevant departments and enterprise representatives on topics such as Ningxia's competitive endowments in digital industry, existing shortcomings, and transformation pathways. He believed that Ningxia should adapt measures to local conditions, leverage its green electricity advantages, accelerate the development of the computing power industry, artificial intelligence, and the token economy, and blaze a path of development with distinctive features. On the same day, multiple consultation services were advancing simultaneously, with academicians and experts actively offering suggestions for local development——
At North Minzu University, Qing Fengling, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the National Key Laboratory of Advanced Fluorineand Nitrogen Materials at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, conducted a symposium exchange on the development of organic chemistry and related disciplines; at Ningxia University, Zhang Xin, deputy director of the High Magnetic Field Science Center at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, conducted symposium exchanges with faculty and students on Ningxia's characteristic industry development and the promotion of interdisciplinary frontier research and industrial transformation across multiple fields including materials, energy, chemistry, agriculture, forestry, and life health; at the Ningxia Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, Zhang Lili, president of the Shanghai Overseas Economic and Technological Promotion Association, provided professional guidance on standardized cultivation techniques for Dao-di herbs, deep processing technologies, and the going-global of Chinese herbal medicine……
During the inspection period, multiple technical docking and consultation guidance activities were carried out simultaneously. Closely aligned with major national strategic needs and the practical needs of local high-quality development, members of the service group went deep into government departments, scientific research institutes, industrial parks, enterprises, and institutions of higher learning, proactively connecting with needs, fully leveraging their professional strengths, carrying out technical assistance and business consultation, precisely providing intellectual services.
Going deep to the front line, conducting on-site "pulse diagnosis and consultation"
Entering the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base, industrial installations stood in neat arrays, with pipelines and pipe networks crisscrossing in all directions. Guo Yanbing, dean of the School of Chemistry at Central China Normal University, suggested focusing on extending the coal chemical industry chain, tackling the research, development, and production of high value-added chemicals, actively striving for national-level science and technology special project support, attracting and gathering outstanding scientific research talents and innovative teams from across the country, and cultivating a batch of high value-added new products and emerging industry clusters. At the turn of summer into autumn, vineyards at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains stretched with lush greenery, and the Chinese wolfberry processing workshops in Zhongning were filled with the fragrance of fruit. Wang Hongwei, deputy dean of the College of Agronomy at Shandong Agricultural University, was deeply moved:"Ningxia has unique resource endowments, and developing characteristic agriculture holds great promise." He believed that Ningxia can continue to strengthen regional public brands, improve the standardized quality supervision system, increase research and development efforts on key technologies for quality improvement, and continuously enhance the market influence and international competitiveness of domestic brands. On the bank of the Yellow River section in Wuzhong, weeping willows were lush, and the great river surged onward. Beside the Anting Pavilion, the service group walked while asking:"What measures have been taken for Yellow River ecological protection?""After these water conservancy measures are completed, will they have an impact on residents' domestic water use?""What is the current highest water level?"……The service group asked in detail, and Yu Xiaoping, secretary of the Party Leadership Group and director of the Wuzhong Municipal Water Affairs Bureau, answered each question one by one, introducing in detail the local efforts in promoting ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin. At the Zhongwei photovoltaic base in the Tengger Desert of Ningxia, panels of photovoltaics stretched into a sea. Chen Feng, deputy dean of the School of Artificial Intelligence at Southwest University, said:"Ningxia has abundant power resources, with uniquely advantageous computing power conditions. In the future, it can further build on advantageous industries such as coal chemical industry, desertification control, and new energy operation and maintenance, to create artificial intelligence application scenarios with local characteristics."
From the Ningdong Energy and Chemical Industry Base with forests of tower cranes to the wine chateaus stretching a hundred miles at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains, from the ecological corridors along the banks of the Yellow River to the blue sea of photovoltaics on the Gobi Desert……The service group went deep into industrial sites to"take the pulse and make a diagnosis", prescribing"good prescriptions"for local high-quality development.
Realizing the original aspiration, jointly seeking new chapters of development
During the research period, the service group also visited the Liupanshan Red Army Long March Memorial Hall and the Red Army West Expedition Memorial Park in Tongxin County, looking back at those years of beacon-fire warfare; visited the Minning Practice Hall of East-West Cooperation, personally comprehending the enduring struggle miracle of Minning cooperation; visited Hongde Village, closely experiencing the great vicissitudes of ecological migration in which people were"moved out, stabilized, and able to get rich"……One red landmark after another, one grassroots site after another, moved the experts present deeply.
Members of the service group unanimously expressed that they would, based on their respective professional fields, continuously carry forward the spirit of the Long March (长征精神, changzheng jingshen - "Long March spirit")and the spirit of poverty alleviation combat (脱贫攻坚, tuopin gongjian - "escape poverty attack hard"), deepen school-local cooperation and school-enterprise cooperation, shore up shortcomings, strengthen weaknesses, amplify strengths, and promote more scientific and technological achievements to take root and sprout in Ningxia. On the final day of the inspection, a research findings feedback meeting was held in Yinchuan. At the meeting, members of the service group, combining their observations and reflections along the way, put forward targeted opinions and suggestions. Li Lin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and vice president of the Western Returned Scholars Association, proposed:"Ningxia's high-quality development should be based on scientific and technological innovation, create a favorable environment for attracting and gathering talent, adhere to the dual approach of local cultivation and external introduction, and strengthen government policy support and guarantees."
Wu Chen, chief architect and chief planner of the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, said:"Ningxia has rich geological and cultural resources and unique ecological landscapes. It should accelerate the formulation and implementation of special plans supporting the cultural tourism industry, and attach great importance to the construction of international tourist destinations."
Ding Yongzhen, researcher at the Institute of Agro-Environmental Protection, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, suggested:"While vigorously developing advantageous industries such as dairy cattle, beef cattle, and Tan sheep, strengthen the harmless treatment of manure and its resource utilization as fertilizer, energy, and substrate."
Bao Xinhe, head of the service group, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and dean of the Institute for Future Energy at Fudan University, stated:"Members of the service group have actively offered suggestions and advice on modern chemical industry, clean energy, cultural tourism, ecological environment, etc., and have reached multiple cooperation intentions on industrial docking, technological transformation, talent exchange, etc., providing services and support for promoting Ningxia's high-quality development."
Members of the service group expressed that in the next step, they will use the first-hand materials from this inspection and research, fully leverage their professional advantages, carefully summarize and conclude, actively offer suggestions and advice, contribute wisdom and strength to the CPC Central Committee's scientific decision-making, and promote the implementation and tangible results of more technological transformations, talent exchanges, and project cooperation. A responsible comrade from the relevant department of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee said:"To build a modern socialist country in all respects (全面建成社会主义现代化强国, quanmian jiancheng shehuizhuyi xiandaihua qiangguo - "completely build socialist modernization strong country")is inseparable from the participation and contribution of the broad masses of non-Party personages and non-Party intellectuals. This inspection is not the end point of cooperation, but a new starting point for joining hands and advancing together. We will continue to do a good job in follow-up docking, transform experts' opinions and suggestions into practical measures, build bridges for talent, technology, and project docking, guide the broad masses of non-Party intellectuals to continue to care for and support Ningxia's development, and transform intellectual advantages into practical momentum for local high-quality development."

The agricultural product processing industry has a large overall scale, is highly connected to related industries, and benefits a broad range of farmers. It is an important lever for extending the industrial chain, elevating the value chain, improving the benefit chain, and building an integrated rural industry system. This year, the State Council issued the "15th Five-Year" Plan for Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization, which made arrangements for "promoting the transformation, upgrading, and optimization of the agricultural product processing industry." As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference from the agricultural sector, I have deeply felt that we must strengthen and optimize agricultural product processing, making it a powerful engine for increasing agricultural efficiency, increasing farmers' income, and advancing the construction of beautiful and harmonious villages.
In recent years, localities have actively cultivated leading enterprises and chain-leader enterprises in agricultural product processing, built a number of key laboratories for agricultural product processing, and created high-quality agricultural product processing clusters, achieving highly effective results (成效显著, cheng xiao xian zhu - "achieve effect, remarkably"). As of the end of 2025, there were over 100,000 agricultural product processing enterprises above designated size nationwide, and the processing conversion rate of major agricultural products reached 75 percent.
At the same time, during my research, I have discovered some problems that urgently need to be solved. For example, primary processing capacity at the place of origin is insufficient; due to the lack of small-scale processing facilities such as drying, cold storage, and pickling, the post-harvest loss of agricultural products is severe, and the problem of the "first kilometer" is prominent; processing capacity suffers from structural imbalance, as the processing of fruits, vegetables, and other products still remains at the primary processing model of freezing and cold storage, with little value added from the comprehensive utilization of by-products; the connection between industry, academia, research, and application is not smooth, technology promotion coverage is uneven, and technologies such as food synthetic biology manufacturing and intelligent processing equipment urgently need breakthroughs; and so on.
To make agriculture an industry with a promising future, and to give rural revitalization (乡村全面振兴, xiang cun quan mian zhen xing - "rural, all-around, revitalization") a stronger foundation and a more steady pace, it is necessary to promote the sustained and rapid development of the agricultural product processing industry and fully realize the value-added links. Take agricultural product processing as the link, and build a new pattern of integrated development. Accelerate the construction of a processing system of "primary processing - deep processing - comprehensive utilization of by-products." Promote the sinking of processing capacity to major production areas and characteristic production areas, and build a number of agricultural product processing parks with complete supporting facilities at the county level. Develop the integrated business format of "processing + cultural tourism," support qualified processing enterprises in building sightseeing factories and experience workshops, develop projects such as DIY processing experiences and farming culture study tours, and create agricultural-culture-tourism complexes integrating production processing, cultural display, and leisure experience.
Improve the mechanism for linking farmers and driving farmers, allowing farmers to share in processing gains. Promote diversified benefit linkage models such as "guaranteed floor-price purchase + dividend distribution according to shares" and "shareholding cooperation," and guide farmers to transform from "selling raw materials" to "selling quality." With government guidance and market operation, build "shared processing centers" covering a certain region, providing services such as drying, sorting, packaging, and cold storage to smallholder farmers and small-and-medium-sized business entities. Improve the supervision mechanism for income distribution, establish and improve default penalty mechanisms and compensation mechanisms for damage to farmers' interests, encourage the introduction of third-party arbitration and insurance mechanisms, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of farmers. Support village collective economic organizations, acting as representatives of farmers' interests, to participate in negotiations and supervision over income distribution from processing projects.
Drive with innovation, enhancing the core competitiveness of the agricultural product processing industry. Relying on agricultural research institutes, universities, and enterprise technology centers, build a number of pilot-scale testing and verification platforms for agricultural product processing technology. Support the formation, around leading industries, of a technical service system of "chief expert + research team + extension personnel + local talent." Promote full-process standardization of processing, and establish a quality traceability system for processed products. Strengthen talent cultivation, achieving the transformation from "local experts" in the fields to "new farmers" who understand technology, are good at management, and are skilled in business operations.

Gangsters and evil forces seriously affect the people's sense of security. The Party Central Committee has made arrangements for deepening the special campaign to crack down on organized crime, clearly specifying that, starting from July this year, using about one year's time, a nationwide special campaign to deepen the crackdown on organized crime will be carried out. On August 28, courts in some parts of the country collectively pronounced judgments in 12 cases involving gangsters and evil forces. "The cases in which judgments were pronounced this time highlight the lawful and severe crackdown on gangster-and-evil criminal organizations that use online platforms and 'soft violence' means to organically carry out illegal lending, illegal debt collection, and other such crimes." A relevant person in charge from the Third Criminal Division of the Supreme People's Court introduced that people's courts always direct the edge of the crackdown at the various types of gangster-and-evil crimes and illegal activities that the masses feel most strongly about and most deeply hate, striking heavy blows and delivering heavy strikes, maintaining a high-pressure deterrent posture of severe crackdown against gangster-and-evil crime, effectively safeguarding social stability and people's tranquility.
At present, what new manifestations and new characteristics do gangster-and-evil crimes have? How can the masses enhance their ability to identify and guard against them? How can the law be used to intensify the crackdown? Tianjin Municipality resolutely implements the Party Central Committee's decisions and arrangements, actively carrying out the special campaign to deepen the crackdown on organized crime. Recently, reporters went to Tianjin and interviewed case-handling personnel involved in three of the gangster-and-evil cases.
Focusing on key areas, "crack down early, crack down small, and crack down as soon as they emerge" against gangster-and-evil forces
Gangster-and-evil crime in the car rental sector is a new type of crime that has emerged in recent years along with the vigorous development of the car rental market. The Li Moumou evil-force organization case tried by the Jizhou District People's Court of Tianjin is a typical case in the car rental sector. This evil-force organization case came to light, originating from a distress call.
"In October 2024, police received a distress call from the family of a victim, reporting that Yang Moumou had been illegally detained." Mou Xing, a first-class police inspector of the Fourth Composite Investigation Squadron of the Composite Investigation Detachment of the Jizhou District Branch of the Tianjin Municipal Public Security Bureau, introduced that Li Moumou and other perpetrators were very arrogant; during the process of rescuing Yang Moumou, they still obstructed law enforcement by pushing and pulling the victim and his family, and even slapping police vehicles, and only after supporting police arrived at the scene and handled the situation was Yang Moumou rescued. Police discovered that the perpetrators, in order to seek illegal profits, had been engaged in car rental, mortgage, and usury lending business since the end of 2023, and were likely an organized criminal gang. Subsequently, police established a special task force to investigate the gang.
"Li Moumou and others targeted young people around 20 years old who lacked social experience, 'subletting' rented cars to the young people, then charging high 'down payments' and 'rental fees'; after the vehicles were pledged, they used illegal detention, extortion, and other means to demand 'car redemption payments' from the young people and their families." Min Peng, deputy presiding judge of the Criminal Division of the Jizhou District People's Court, introduced. Taking the illegally detained Yang Moumou and others as an example, Li Moumou and others, after learning that Yang Moumou and others were young, had no source of income,etc., induced them to "rent cars": "It doesn't matter if you have no money; we can introduce you to pledging the car, and once the pledge money is in hand, you can pay then".
It turned out that Li Moumou and others first rented a car from another enterprise at a monthly rent of 15,000 yuan, then "sublet" the car to Yang Moumou and others in the form of a down payment of 13,000 yuan and a monthly rent of 7,800 yuan. After a period of time, when Yang Moumou and others could not afford the rent and pledged the car, Li Moumou and others used illegal detention, beating and insulting, extortion, and other forms to pressure Yang Moumou and others and their families into paying money. At the same time, Li Moumou and others let the vehicles be disposed of through pledging, which also brought great economic losses to car rental enterprises and disrupted the normal order of the car rental industry. "The gang also engaged in usury by the method of 'deducting interest upfront', agreeing on a loan of 10,000 yuan but only actually lending 7,000 yuan. The daily interest reached 300 yuan, and the actual interest rate far exceeded the minimum recognition standard for illegal lending." Zang Yang, deputy director of the First Procuratorate Department of the Jizhou District People's Procuratorate, introduced that after victims could not repay, Li Moumou and others adopted violent and "soft violence" means such as multiple people surrounding and beating victims, posting insults on WeChat Moments, playing loudspeakers, spraying words on walls,etc., to collect debts. The court's trial established that the Li Moumou evil-force gang committed multiple illegal and criminal activities, causing damage to the personal and property safety of multiple victims, creating psychological terror among local residents, and causing relatively bad social impact. In view of Li Moumou's circumstances of voluntary surrender, frank confession, admission of guilt and acceptance of punishment, meritorious service,etc., after trial the Jizhou District People's Court lawfully sentenced the ringleader Li Moumou to four years and ten months' fixed-term imprisonment. "Deepening the special campaign to crack down on organized crime must implement the policy of 'crack down early, crack down small, and crack down as soon as they emerge', punishing crime promptly and safeguarding the people's personal and property safety." Shi Hailong, president of the Jizhou District People's Court, introduced. How to move from handling one case to industry governance? Shi Hailong said that in response to relevant problems identified in the car rental industry, case-handling units coordinated and linked with competent departments of relevant industries, established a mechanism for sharing civil and criminal leads, improved and perfected the regulatory system, effectively helping the industry develop healthily and sustainably, relevant police alerts showed a declining trend, and good comprehensive governance results were achieved. Piercing the loan trap, severely cracking down on gangster-and-evil crimes committed through online platforms and "soft violence" means
In daily life, many people have received sales calls asking whether they need loan services. When encountering such situations, one must carefully distinguish, beware of being targeted, and falling into a "loan trap".
Xiao Liu, a resident of Jizhou District, had once received such a call, originally wanting to borrow money to try starting a business. Little did he know that he was a precisely targeted "loan trap" victim. In order to grab illegal profits, the Huang Moumou gangster-and-evil criminal group set up a "customer service department", illegally purchased personal information of citizens who had loan needs, then further checked loan risks through purchased risk-control software, screening target candidates. "'Customer service department' employees used fixed scripts to contact and lure target people into borrowing, then exploited borrowers' psychology of being anxious to use money, on the pretext of 'review', further demanded borrowers' ID cards, address books, and other information, preparing for future debt collection." Liu Yuzhu, a judge of the Criminal Division of the Jizhou District People's Court, introduced. The court's trial established that the criminal group publicly claimed to be a "small loan company" or "online lending platform", using "no collateral, low interest, instant disbursement" as bait to attract victims to borrow, then on the pretext of "handling fees" induced victims to sign "loan agreements" with falsely inflated amounts, creating the illusion of private lending. In order to legitimize the "loan agreements", the criminal group falsely borrowed the WeChat names of legitimate lending platforms to interface with borrowers, tricking borrowers into first signing "legal" IOUs on legitimate platforms to evade legal supervision. Thereafter, they further tricked borrowers into signing offline high-interest loan contracts, using "yin-yang contracts" to evade regulation. "The criminal group deliberately created defaults; the loan period was set at 7 days, misleading borrowers into thinking the actual usage period was 7 days, but in fact failing to repay on the seventh day would constitute a default." Liu Yuzhu said that when borrowers were unable to repay, the criminal group would trick borrowers into signing "loan" agreements with larger falsely inflated amounts with the group's "finance" personnel, continuously piling up debt through the method of "borrowing new loans to repay old ones". At the same time, they also exploited the consequences of default to force borrowers to pay "extension fees" multiple times to delay the repayment deadline. What kind of price would such a "loan trap" make borrowers pay? Xiao Liu initially borrowed 1,000 yuan with the mentality of just trying it out; after several extensions and borrowing-new-to-repay-old, in less than 3 months, Xiao Liu actually paid back more than 16,000 yuan extra. High interest was only the property loss of borrowers. If borrowers could not repay the falsely inflated "loans", the criminal group's "debt collection department" personnel would use "soft violence" means such as phone bombing with "call-you-to-death" software, text message harassment, mass-sending to relatives and friends of pornographic images synthesized from borrowers' profile photos, to demand "debts" from borrowers and their relatives and friends.
"The criminal group had clear hierarchy, strict control measures, clear division of labor, and operated through a full-chain process. Because they used online platforms to commit crimes, victims were spread across the country." Ye Zhanhong, presiding judge of the Criminal Division of the Jizhou District People's Court, stated that the criminal group, wrapped in the cloak of "lending", committed extortion, fraud, infringement of citizens' personal information, and other crimes against multiple unspecified persons, with numerous criminal acts and broad targets of infringement. Lawful compliance and lawful operation is an un-crossable red line of rule of law. The court sentenced Huang Moumou, the principal culprit of the criminal group, to twelve years and six months' fixed-term imprisonment for extortion, fraud, and infringement of citizens' personal information, along with a fine of 370,000 yuan. "Any act that, using loan business as a pretext, actually engages in illegal and criminal activities, will ultimately receive severe punishment from the law." Shi Hailong reminded the general public to enhance their awareness of prevention, not to readily believe online loan advertisements, recognize the essence of "loan traps", and never fall into the mire out of greed for temporary gains. When encountering "soft violence" acts such as debt collection harassment, intimidation, harassment,etc., report to police promptly, borrow rationally, and stay away from illegal online loans. Digging deep and investigating thoroughly into leads, always maintaining a high-pressure deterrent posture of lawful and severe crackdown
At present, some gangster-and-evil crimes have become hidden and transformed, shifting from "offline" to "online", from "overt" to "covert", and from "hard violence" to "soft violence". The evil-force criminal group led by Zhou Moumou is one such example. Zhou Moumou, without any economic dispute, partnership, or other relationship with Wang Moumou, called Wang Moumou multiple times, saying, "I've been short on money lately; I want you to make money together with me." After Wang Moumou procrastinated several times, Zhou Moumou invited Wang Moumou to dinner, saying he was in urgent need of money. "Zhou Moumou, relying on his organization's illegal influence and criminal capability, hinted to Wang Moumou that he wanted money. Wang Moumou knew Zhou Moumou was a 'big brother of the underworld', and was afraid of him at heart, not daring to refuse." Lao Pengbo, the presiding judge handling the case at the Tianjin Jinghai District People's Court, introduced that under the "soft violence" of "psychological deterrence" and"telephone harassment", Wang Moumou gave Zhou Moumou 150,000 yuan in cash. More than a month later, after Zhou Moumou saw Wang Moumou's brand-name motorcycle, he again expressed to Wang Moumou that he really liked it and hinted that he wanted it. Thereafter, Wang Moumou spent 11,000 yuan to buy Zhou Moumou a new motorcycle of the same model. In addition, Zhou Moumou also repeatedly went to the clothing store run by Wang Moumou's wife to "take clothes" without paying, and Wang Moumou and his wife did not dare to ask for payment. After receiving reports from the masses, case-handling organs dug deep and investigated thoroughly, discovering this was an organized criminal gang. Since Zhou Moumou came from another province to Jinghai District, he continuously took in, recruited relatives, classmates, fellow townsmen,etc., and at multiple venues such as karaoke halls, billiard halls, restaurants in Jinghai District, committed affray, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, extortion, and other illegal and criminal activities. "The criminal group mainly committed traditional gangster-and-evil crimes, supplemented by new-type gangster-and-evil crimes." Chen Jinqing, presiding judge of the Criminal Division of the Jinghai District People's Court, said that judging from the facts established by the trial, traditional forms of illegal and criminal acts, such as affray, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, mostly occurred more than 10 years ago, while those occurring in the past two years were mostly new-type gangster-and-evil crimes. This, from one aspect, reflects the positive results of the crackdown on organized crime in recent years, and also reflects the characteristics of gangster-and-evil crimes becoming hidden and transformed. The Jinghai District People's Court established that the evil-force criminal group had once carried out "protection" at casinos, and engaged in usury lending to the "gamblers" at casinos; collected "protection fees" from local billiard halls and other business premises; after verbal conflicts with others at KTV, committed intentional injury... These illegal and criminal activities infringed upon the personal rights and property rights of the masses, causing serious damage to local economic order and social order. "Zhou Moumou had a strong awareness of counter-investigation; when planning and carrying out illegal and criminal activities, he often only discussed with close confidants, who then gathered others to specifically execute." Lao Pengbo said, this is also a difficulty in evidence collection for cracking down on gangster-and-evil crimes. In addition, victims and co-defendants, often under pressure from gangster-and-evil forces and fearing retaliation, had a phenomenon of not daring to cooperate with law enforcement and judicial organs in investigations. "During the handling of this case, case-handling personnel patiently guided, explained the law and reasoned. Ultimately, relevant persons let down their guard and revealed the relevant facts to case-handling personnel." Lao Pengbo introduced. After court trial, the evil-force criminal group received legal punishment. The principal culprit Zhou Moumou was sentenced to seventeen years' fixed-term imprisonment and a fine. "When discovering leads of gangster-and-evil crimes, the masses can report through forms such as the national '12337' unified online reporting platform." Jiao Zhimin, deputy presiding judge of the First Criminal Division of the Tianjin Higher People's Court, stated that people's courts will always maintain a high-pressure deterrent posture of lawful and severe crackdown against gangster-and-evil crimes, making the people's sense of gain, sense of happiness, and sense of security more substantial, more guaranteed, and more sustainable.

The vigorous development of livestream e-commerce and the increasingly active trading of virtual property have led to the continuous expansion of new business forms and models in the platform economy. At the same time, this has also been accompanied by governance challenges such as blurred boundaries of platform rights and responsibilities, unclear competition rules under new business models, and the absence of consumer rights protection in new scenarios. To resolve these problems, in addition to administrative regulation and industry self-discipline, the judiciary cannot be absent. Recently, the Supreme People's Court released a batch of typical cases involving the regulation of platform operations according to law and the protection of consumers' lawful rights and interests, using judicial adjudication to clarify the boundaries of rules and to build a judicial bulwark for the innovation and healthy development of the platform economy. The value of justice lies not only in settling disputes and maintaining order (定分止争, ding fen zhi zheng - "settle disputes, stop contention"), but also in establishing behavioral benchmarks through adjudication, achieving the social effect of using individual cases to improve regional governance (审理一案、治理一域, shen li yi an, zhi li yi yu - "try one case, govern one region"). Facing new pain points such as difficulties in seeking redress for online consumption, misconduct in livestream marketing, chaos from fake orders and fraudulent reviews, and disputes over virtual property transactions, judicial organs should, by actively fulfilling their adjudication duties and clarifying adjudication rules, safeguard consumers' vital interests, equally protect platform enterprises, and demonstrate the governance wisdom of justice that both encourages innovation and upholds the bottom line.
Clarifying the boundaries of responsibility, unblocking the bottlenecks in seeking redress for online consumption. Online consumption is an important scenario for the platform economy and one of the areas where disputes are most concentrated. Recently, some new problems have emerged in online consumers' rights protection. For example, in some e-commerce platforms, the deposit system has become a mere formality, and after merchants who have been stationed on the platform have long withdrawn funds, emptying their accounts, consumers who seek refunds have no way to seek redress; in some livestream sales, promises are made of after-sales support and comprehensive responsibility, but when problems arise, each side shifts blame to the other. In response, in the typical cases released this time, people's courts have made clear that platforms, which hold merchants' business data and know full well that merchants fail to implement fund control and evade refunds and compensation, must bear joint and several liability according to law; and that after-sales and compensation commitments made by livestream sellers are not mere empty words and should be honored according to the agreements. By clarifying the boundaries of platform responsibility through individual case adjudication, converting platforms' data advantages into supervisory responsibility, and consolidating the credit foundation for the online consumption environment, only then can consumers seeking rights protection no longer find themselves having no way to seek redress or help (求告无门, qiu gao wu men - "seek help, no entrance").
Drawing clear compliance red lines, maintaining a fair and orderly market competition ecosystem. With the rapid development of the platform economy, whether certain business practices are lawful and compliant urgently needs clarification. This requires not only administrative organs to clarify regulatory rules, but also the judiciary to draw clear red lines. Responding to the era's new topics, protecting new types of property rights and interests in the digital age. The commercial value of virtual property such as platform accounts has continued to rise, but the accompanying issues of transaction ownership have become increasingly prominent. In the typical cases released this time, courts have clarified that in platform account transfer transactions, the seller bears the legal obligation to truthfully inform the buyer of important information affecting the account's usage efficacy and commercial value; this judgment has effectively resolved the difficulty of buyers seeking rights protection in virtual property transactions. Previously, when the Supreme People's Court amended the "Provisions on Causes of Civil Cases," it added causes of action related to data and online virtual property. It can be seen that judicial organs are directly confronting the new property disputes emerging in digital society, balancing the rights and responsibilities of both transaction parties, filling the rule gaps in virtual property transactions, and helping to build a law-based transaction order adapted to the development of the digital economy. The "15th Five-Year" Plan Outline proposes promoting the innovative and healthy development of the platform economy and strengthening supervision over platform enterprises' data, algorithms, traffic, and rules. By responding to practical concerns through adjudication and leading the industry toward goodness through rules, judicial organs will continue to help create a predictable, law-based business environment, and will surely enable the platform economy to progress steadily and sustain long-term success (行稳致远, xing wen zhi yuan - "walk steadily, reach far") on the track of the rule of law, continuously injecting digital momentum into high-quality development.

"Current national Baijiu standards require that it must be brewed through grain fermentation," "The packaging of a certain Baijiu does not have the two words 'Baijiu' on it because it is not allowed," "The 'small gold label' represents pure grain solid-state fermentation; if you buy a certain small starter, you won't have this label..." Inside a "Certain Selection" livestream room operated by a certain Youxuan (Beijing) Company, an anchor, while promoting Baijiu, made casual comments regarding a specific brand of Baijiu under a certain Chongqing liquor industry company.
After seeing the livestream content, a relevant person in charge of the Chongqing liquor industry company believed that the anchor's comments regarding a certain Baijiu product under its company in the livestream room involved problems of to present a one-sided account (片面陈述, pian mian chen shu - "one-sided, surface, state/describe") and improper association, seriously misleading consumers into believing that the company's Baijiu products are not brewed from pure grain, thereby damaging its commercial credit and product reputation, and constituting commercial disparagement. Consequently, the company filed a lawsuit, requesting a judgment for compensation for losses.
However, the certain Youxuan (Beijing) Company argued that the main products of the certain Baijiu brand are not Baijiu but fruit-flavored liquor, and that the relevant remarks were made based on the objective fact that fruit-flavored liquor is not the Baijiu determined by national standards, and further that these were the anchor's spontaneous remarks during the live session, which do not constitute infringement.
The court, upon deliberation, held that livestreaming sales constitute a business activity; although the evaluations made by operators and their anchors within a platform regarding similar competing products during livestream promotions fall within the scope of commercial commentary and can include a certain degree of subjective evaluation, such evaluations are not without boundaries. Compared to the daily communications of ordinary consumers, operators and their anchors owe a higher standard of duty of prudent attention to the content of their comments to ensure that comments are truthful, objective, and comprehensive; "spontaneous remarks" in real-time interactive scenarios do not constitute grounds for exemption from liability.
The presiding judge stated that commercial disparagement includes not only the fabrication of facts but also the dissemination of misleading information. Although misleading information may contain certain elements of truth, if it is presented through methods such as one-sided accounts, improper association, or vague targeting, such that it is overall sufficient to cause the relevant public to form erroneous perceptions regarding the quality of a competitor's goods, it shall still be subject to legal regulation.
Ultimately, the court determined that the anchor in this case improperly associated the "Baijiu standard requirement for grain fermentation brewing" with the "absence of the words 'Baijiu' on certain Baijiu packaging," failed to distinguish between the Baijiu and the fruit-flavored liquor under the certain Baijiu brand, and also failed to present the fact that multiple Baijiu products under that brand had already obtained pure grain solid-state fermentation certification; through selective presentation and improper association, the comments were overall sufficient to guide consumers to the misunderstanding that the Baijiu of that brand does not meet Baijiu standards and is not brewed from pure grain, which exceeded the boundaries of legitimate commercial speech and constituted misleading information subject to legal regulation. Accordingly, the certain Youxuan (Beijing) Company constituted commercial disparagement and shall compensate the Chongqing liquor industry company for economic losses and reasonable expenses.
This case clarifies the boundary between legitimate commercial evaluation and commercial disparagement in livestreaming sales, specifies the duty of prudent attention for livestreaming sales anchors in commercial commentary, and simultaneously clarifies the criteria for identifying misleading information, providing a reference for judicial rules in the handling of similar disputes, which helps to regulate livestreaming sales behavior and provides judicial assistance for the healthy development of the platform economy.

“I was injured in a traffic accident while delivering goods. Why does the company say it cannot be counted as a work-related injury?” In June this year, Deng Shitao, a food delivery rider in Fang County, Shiyan City, Hubei Province, anxiously came to the Fang County Comprehensive Social Governance Center for help. “Don’t worry, please go to the labor rights protection window and explain slowly.” Under the guidance of staff, Deng Shitao came to the labor rights protection window set up by the human resources and social security department at the county comprehensive social governance center and explained the situation in detail. It turned out that the Fang County Huitao Network Company he worked for, citing the fact that the rider had signed the platform’s crowdsourcing agreement, denied the existence of a labor relationship between the two parties, causing Deng Shitao to be unable to apply for work-related injury recognition or receive work-related injury insurance benefits. For workers in new employment groups seeking rights protection, confirming the labor relationship is a major difficulty. The Fang County Comprehensive Social Governance Center immediately dispatched its on-site lawyer to help Deng Shitao collect a complete set of evidence, including the site shift schedule, unified work uniform payment vouchers, order transaction records, and the accident determination document. Subsequently, the labor rights protection staff of the Fang County Comprehensive Social Governance Center sorted out and analyzed the evidence, verifying that the enterprise implemented fixed night shifts, leave approval, unified work uniforms, and reward-and-punishment controls, that the rider’s labor constituted the core business of the enterprise, that the income was Deng Shitao’s main source of livelihood, and that he had been incorporated into the site’s organizational management. On August 4, the Fang County Arbitration Commission initiated simplified procedures with a sole arbitrator, referring to the Supreme People’s Court’s Guiding Case No. 238 to penetrate the multi-layer platform outsourcing relationship, rejected the enterprise’s defense of evading employment responsibilities through a “cooperation agreement,” and ruled to confirm that a labor relationship existed between the two parties from March 1 to June 15, 2025. After the ruling took effect, Deng Shitao smoothly completed work-related injury recognition, completed the relevant procedures for occupational injury protection, and awaits the compensation after the labor capacity assessment.
In recent years, flexible employees such as online streamers, ride-hailing drivers, couriers, and food delivery riders, as well as workers in new forms of employment, have increased significantly, and the labor disputes arising from this have also grown accordingly. However, because workers in new employment groups often have no fixed employer and rely on platform dispatch, and because the employment models between platform enterprises and workers are diverse, such as crowdsourcing, outsourcing, cooperative employment, etc., the labor relationships are complex and difficult to handle according to traditional employment relationships. Facing these new situations and new problems, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee has comprehensively advanced the use of comprehensive social governance centers as the starting point, integrating the strength of multiple departments, establishing and improving one-stop closed-loop operating mechanisms such as acceptance and registration, research, judgment and diversion, diversified mediation, early warning and prevention, and collaboratively resolving conflicts and disputes related to new employment groups.
In order to resolve the practical dilemma of “scattered resources and inefficient management by multiple authorities” (九龙治水, jiu long zhi shui - “nine dragons govern water”) in the investigation, resolution, prevention, and control of conflicts and disputes, at present, Hubei Province has standardizedly built 1 provincial-level comprehensive social governance center, 13 municipal-level comprehensive social governance centers, 103 county-level comprehensive social governance centers, and 1,260 township (street) comprehensive social governance centers. Political and legal affairs, petition, human resources and social security, housing and urban-rural development, and other departments have successively moved in, making it convenient for the masses to report demands and resolve disputes by enabling citizens to resolve issues in a single location (只跑一地、只进一门, zhi pao yi di, zhi jin yi men - “only run one place, only enter one door”). From January to July 2026, comprehensive social governance centers at all levels across the province accepted a total of 1,182 conflicts and disputes involving food delivery, courier, and ride-hailing services, resolved 1,169 of them, with a resolution rate of 98.9%.
For conflicts and disputes, mediation comes first. In response to the new characteristics of conflicts and disputes among new employment groups, the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, together with relevant departments, has focused on guidance for protecting labor rights and interests in new forms of employment and adjudication standards for typical cases, conducting rotational training for people’s mediators to enhance their sensitivity and success rate in mediating employment disputes in new business forms. It has promoted the downward extension of street (township) mediation committees and industry-specific and professional people’s mediation organizations for labor disputes, adding mediation rooms or stationing mediation liaison officers in areas where workers gather, such as logistics parks, food delivery stations, and ride-hailing service centers, achieving first-line acceptance and rapid resolution of disputes.
Connecting litigation with mediation, resolving disputes according to law. The Hubei Provincial courts, procuratorates, public security organs, and judicial administrative departments have all moved into comprehensive social governance centers, extending judicial services to the very end of grassroots governance. In response to the new characteristics of new forms of employment, courts across the province, in judicial practice, pay attention to accurately determining the nature of employment, conducting comprehensive examination of labor service providers, and going beyond the electronic formatted contract itself to judge whether a labor relationship is constituted based on the actual state of performance. In April this year, the Hubei Provincial High People’s Court released ten typical cases on labor disputes, of which more than half involved new employment groups, providing strong guidance for the province’s political and legal system to unify identification standards and adjudication criteria.

“First and foremost, the screenplay is excellent!” At the series of events “New Power of Chinese Literature” held during the 21st China Changchun Film Festival, online novelist Guan Pingchao said with emotion when talking about such hit films of the summer season as Eight Immortals! and Welcome to Dragon Restaurant. China's first film, Dingjun Mountain, and China's first television drama, A Piece of Corn Cake, were born carrying the genes of Chinese theater and Chinese literature. From the early red-classic adaptations of Changchun Film Studio, to the mutual achievement of literature of the new era and the Fifth Generation directors, to today's online literature IPs supporting half of the power or territory (半壁江山, ban bi jiang shan - "half, wall, river, mountain") of domestic film and television... behind almost every peak in film and television creation, there is almost always the figure of literature.
In this visual era when everything is media, the mode of artistic production, carriers of dissemination, aesthetic trends, and composition of audiences are all undergoing structural changes, and literature and film and television are in the midst of this transformation. How do good stories go from the tip of the pen to the silver screen? How can film and television works better embody the spirit of literature? The voices from the Changchun Film Festival invite deep thought.
Transforming the spirit of literature into audiovisual charm
“There is drama in the novel” — these five characters were inscribed by writer Mo Yan for the doctoral dissertation of young screenwriter Pan Geng. Five characters, revealing the connection between literature and film and television. As narrative arts that both primarily use character images, story plots, and environmental scenes as their means of expression, literature, theater, film, and television share a natural commensurability. Looking at the history of Chinese and foreign cinema, those classic masterpieces that have withstood the washing of time are mostly perfect fusions of the spirit of literature and the language of cinema. Writer Quan Yongxiong, who was just awarded the Ninth Lu Xun Literature Prize, is also the screenwriter of the television drama The Cliff and the film Cliff Walkers. His creative insight is that, although the script is an art of sound and image, there is a subtle yet important relationship between the two. Whether the current challenges facing film and television creation stem from the rise of short dramas and short videos, or from changes in people's ways of watching films, Quan Yongxiong believes that we can never at any time ignore the spiritual attributes of a work, still less can we “reify” film and television products. The arrival of all art depends on humanity's most basic capacities for emotion, aesthetics, and empathy.
Facts have proven that those film and television works with more of the spirit of literature have more often entered the hearts of the broad audience. According to the 2025 Blue Book on Film and Television Works Adapted from Literature, among the 100 domestic television dramas in 2025 with both good reputation and popularity, literary adaptation works accounted for 59%. According to statistics from the 2025 Research Report on the Development of Chinese Online Literature released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, in 2025, the market size of online literature IP adaptations reached 3676.1 billion yuan. Looking through the data, one can see that literature continuously provides film and television with good stories, good characters, good connotations, and good artistic conceptions.
The change of media is the contextual era in which literature and film and television advance toward each other, and it is also an important driving force. In the more than 130 years since the birth of cinema, from time to time there has always appeared the view that “cinema is about to die.” Some people also decry literature in the Internet age. The proportion of literary reading in people's spiritual lives has changed, but that does not mean that the influence of literature, which has continued for thousands of years, is gradually declining. In such artistic media and aesthetic forms as theater, film and television, short videos, and audiobooks, literature has not only expanded its channels of dissemination, but the spirit of literature has also achieved cross-media transformation with it — “powerful” literature has become “charming” audiovisual products.
“China's netizen population has reached 1.125 billion people, micro-short-drama users exceed 700 million, and the number of generative artificial intelligence users has surpassed 600 million. Today we have already entered an era of universal internet access.” Zhao Hui, professor and doctoral supervisor at the Communication University of China, believes that today's users independently choose the works they like, and such works rapidly establish a user matrix around them. “Everyone is a producer, everyone is a communicator, and everyone is also a receiver. Audiovisuals, like an adhesive, connect our social circles and form our fan communities.” In Zhao Hui's view, whether classic literature or popular literature, its diverse forms of expression and audiovisual re-creation functions, as well as AI empowerment, linkage between large and small screens, construction of cultural ecology, and even resonance with cultural tourism and cultural heritage institutions, all show that “literature is entering our lives in an audiovisual manner.”
Finding the unchanging “plain code” in media transposition
“There is drama in the novel, meaning that in many excellent novels there lies hidden one or more dramas. The key is whether the screenwriter knows how to excavate it and whether he can transform it.” Pan Geng said. Since Red Sorghum Clan came out in those years, it has been successively adapted into such artistic forms as film, television drama, stage play, and dance drama. Pan Geng once participated in the adaptation of the television drama Red Sorghum and summarized a methodology of “addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division”: strip away the parts of the original work unsuitable for audiovisual presentation, sort out and draw together the narrative main line; enrich the cast of characters, add details; magnify iconic literary imagery, elevating it into audiovisual climaxes; carefully screen out and remove plots that violate the public's emotional logic. “Holding fast to the spiritual core of the original work is the first essential principle of media transformation.” She repeatedly emphasized.
The audiovisualization of literature is a translation across media, and also a re-creation of art. “In the era of short videos, the fast pace of content reading urges creators to compete in information density, as if they must annotate every line of subtext, spare no effort (不遗余力, bu yi yu li - "not, leave, surplus, strength") to express every emotion that ought to be there, or complete plot reversals in a shorter time. This is a destruction of the lingering aftertaste of the original literary source.” Wang Xiaoqiang, screenwriter of the television dramas The Rival and County Party Committee Compound, said, “Good literature understands restraint, and good film and television works should do the same. When dramatic tension is pulled to its fullest, retaining a measure of just-right lingering aftertaste is the only way to return the space of feeling to the audience.”
The film Love Letter to Grandma won the Jury Prize of this year's Changchun Film Festival. The film's gentleness and restraint moved many audience members and also left thoughts in the industry. In today's film studios, there is no shortage of advanced shooting technology; in the databases, there is no shortage of templates for various reversals and dramatic conflicts. Yet in such a highly efficient, high-output environment, audiences seem increasingly difficult to move. “Many works look more and more exquisite, with faster and faster pacing, but the ‘human flavor’ that can penetrate the screen has grown fainter. Technology can be quantified, reversals can be designed, but sincerity alone cannot be derived through mathematics or algorithms.” Wang Xiaoqiang believes that sincerely looking at life at eye level and portraying true-to-life characters is a deep vigil over the spirit of literature.
“What is the code for the audiovisualization of literary IPs? It is to write good stories that readers and audiences like very much and resonate with strongly.” In Guan Pingchao's view, “The principle is not complicated; the code is a plain code. The most important thing is that the work must have a clear ideological core.”
In such an era when everyone can tell stories and everyone knows how to tell stories, every manifestation of humanity's most beautiful emotions deserves to be cherished by both literary creation and film and television creation. There is still drama in the novel, and this drama must not only be “good to watch,” but also “enduring to watch” and “worth watching.”

130 years after the birth of cinema, what has rushed onto the platform this time is not the talkie, the color film, or the digital image, but the locomotive of artificial intelligence. After finishing the shoot of Secret Files and stepping out of the Cheton Film and Television Base, it happened to be the moment Sora 2 came out, and I felt like a cave dweller. Before the Spring Festival of the Bingwu Year, we had already cut to the eighteenth draft, when Seedance 2.0 appeared suddenly and impressively. I thought to myself: Good thing! We could still shoot once more with real people and real locations. My co-creators and I cherished immensely this opportunity to create Secret Files. From pre-production to post-production, from concept to technique, we anchored ourselves wholly and with every fiber of our being in the fundamental position of "the human."
The screenplay of Secret Files went through six years and three rounds of being shelved and revived, and in the end we chose, outside the familiar espionage genre and the mainstream-theme model, to reconstruct the lived reality of underground Communist Party workers in Shanghai — the abnormal beneath the everyday, two drops of water in the vast ocean... Extending our reading into urban history, life history, and oral history, we tried as much as possible to enter each character, taking turns to experience the same prescribed situation. Rather than weaving a plot, it was more that, before putting pen to paper, we first put ourselves in someone else's shoes and ran through the scenario.
Beyond the script, I agreed with the actors on improvisational performance. "Improvisation" means even finer, even more heartfelt preparation. The male and female leads each wrote character biographies of more than 4,000 characters, exchanged and read them, collaboratively revised them, and together established the complete pre-history of a married couple's life. During the script read-through two and a half weeks before shooting began, the actors went through scene by scene with the director and writers, breaking down each character's entrance objective, exit action, surface lines, subtext, and especially the turning points in relationships, chewing everything over thoroughly, discussing the logic of attitude for the person directly involved and the person in the midst of the situation. The actors only did "plain reading," without emotion, without pre-processing the lines, because they did not want to limit themselves too early, leaving as much room as possible for the moment.
The purpose of reading the script around the table was to "throw" the script away. Our principle was to come on set and just go directly. Not knowing how the opponent would act, not knowing who would speak first, not predicting what one would say oneself or how one would say it — everything collided on the spot, every take had to be different, with no need to worry about emotion or blocking, just "playing off" one another. What we said most often was: "Come on, do one more take, freely!" In this way, the raw juice of "truly listening, truly seeing, truly feeling" was squeezed out, and in the blink of an eye, without thinking, words came out spontaneously. At the moment when internal and external pressure both approached the threshold simultaneously, the subtleties, mutabilities, ambiguities, accidents, and inevitabilities of a character's nature and bodily sensation are not something rational design or overly precise rehearsal can achieve.
The film let the "characters" take charge, choosing their own clothes and matching their own costumes for each scene. In the main set, "No. 52," how each household was arranged was decided by each home's master, who repeatedly set things up and searched for the right feeling, especially with small props worn close to the body or carried on one's person — first "using" the space in the first person, finding one's own comfortable corner and habitual movement lines. Before shooting began, the life-department producer was instructed not to supply boxed meals to the actors; each household had to learn to light the coal briquette stove and cook for themselves. At mealtime, everyone picked up their rations, went "home," and cooked their own food.
The camera operator and the boom operator were almost entirely in catch-as-catch-can mode the whole time. They did not know what someone would say, do, or walk toward in the next second; the characters each spoke their own dialects; and this take would certainly differ from the last one, and the next one was equally unpredictable — so photography and sound recording had to, like hunters, mobilize all their senses, letting hands and feet move before the brain, shooting was also improvisation. This mode of on-site work, close to documentary, made the shots of a fiction film, together with the characters, "truly listen, truly see, truly feel," breathing the characters' breath.
Most of the scenes took place inside family living quarters. The director of photography was very pleased, because it allowed him to present the atmosphere of light and shadow from kerosene lamps. From 1942 to 1945, all of Shanghai was under power rationing and a curfew — this was the darkest hour of this city of splendor since its opening as a port. Returning to the historical scene, in the massive, weighty, pitch-black darkness, a single lamp as tiny as a bean, faith unextinguished — this was the story's visual metaphor stated directly.
Editing was like crouching over a ruin and, layer by layer, sweeping away the loose earth with a brush, striving to discover the autonomous life hidden in the footage. The "dinosaur skeleton" of the story's thread and the characters' images emerged little by little. Jump-cutting and intercutting was indeed not easy, but only in this way could performance be re-created — re-creating characters, reconstructing story. The actors' improvisational performances were simply too vivid, so we could only delete "good" and"better" over and over, leaving only"the best."
The sound director worked hard to construct differences among spaces. In the kitchen, hallway, stairwell, rooftop terrace, and other common spaces, as well as in the neighbors' homes, the texture and layers of sound were realistic and everyday; but once cutting into the couple's living quarters — silence — subtle sound effects (such as the touch of knitting needles, the tick of a pendulum clock, etc.) were meant to set off by contrast a压抑, icy, yet emotion-charged stillness. Throughout the film, the male and female leads have the least amount of dialogue. They had suffered terrible things; their inner wounds would never heal; only because duty was upon them could they only endure, day and night, living in the same room. Their room was a treasure-keeping chamber, a secret chamber, and also a prison cell — a sound field of the heart, of emotion, where their inner psychology and feelings resonated
The composer stated one's purpose or intention clearly: most of the time, quietly watching the actors' performances was already very good. Otherwise, music could easily dilute the cruelty of reality. And once music was given, its starting point had to be where the image ended — the deepest, most hidden stirrings of the characters' hearts that we could hardly capture on camera. Unbalanced compositions, unsmooth camera movements, dynamically adjusted focus, forced camera angles... clumsy, flawed, imperfect. Secret Files was a performance-driven shoot; shooting performance means shooting character, means shooting the lived reality of human beings.

The realistic-drama Southbound and Northbound, co-produced by Jiangsu People's Art Theatre and iQiyi, has just concluded its run on the stage of the China Original Drama Invitational Exhibition. As the playwright of this work, looking back on the entire process of polishing the piece, I have come to appreciate ever more deeply: the power of realist literary and artistic creation is always rooted in the烟火 of everyday human life and the texture of the times. Adaptation is not a simple compression of plot, but a re-creation grounded in the laws of drama. From the very beginning, we established a principle: to grasp the spiritual core of the original work and, within the limited time and space of the theater, reconstruct a narrative tension and human warmth that belong to drama itself. The television drama Southbound and Northbound uses the green-skinned train and the railway family compound as its vehicles, spreading out the joys and sorrows of ordinary people during the transition period of reform and opening up. The train itself is a fluid micro-society—the travelers coming south and going north, the neighbors living side by side day and night in the compound, the master-apprentice bond between two generations of railway police—all of this naturally matches the artistic character of drama, which contains a hundred shades of human life within a limited space. What moves audiences most in the original work is not the conflict of cases, but the ordinary people hidden in the folds of the era—people with their steadfastness, their regrets, their struggles. The original work's narrative stance of looking at its characters at eye level is the most important foundation. At the same time, Wang Fuchun's series of documentary photographs Chinese People on the Train constantly reminds us: the stories on stage must take root in the real烟火 of daily life and must not float suspended above dramatic conflict.
The difficulty of adaptation lies in取舍. What must be kept? What can be cut, condensed, or merged? What is the emotional mainline that the stage most needs to amplify? After many rounds of discussion, we finally decided to use the master-apprentice relationship between Ma Kui and Wang Xin as the core skeleton of the entire play; the various cases serve as situations that propel the relationships of the characters, with their details no longer laid out one by one; characters such as Yao Yuling, Niu Dali, and Ma Yan from the railway compound serve as an important ensemble backdrop, used to set off the atmosphere of the era. In short: keep the "people," streamline the"events."
Film and television excel at relying on camera cuts and temporal flashbacks to complete narration; drama, by contrast, must transform psychological activity into visible action on stage and face-to-face conflict. During the adaptation phase, my co-writer Wang Renfan and I had to continuously complete a kind of "narrative conversion": turning the inner knots and past traumas that can be unhurriedly conveyed on screen into confrontations between characters and moments of decision visible in scenes. We repeatedly polished the measure of the dialogue between master and apprentice: Ma Kui is restrained and forbearing, not good at expressing himself; Wang Xin is green and impetuous, gradually maturing—the linguistic temperament and behavioral rhythm of the two will have a clear distinction. The ensemble's dialogue strives to be individualized and life-like, avoiding deliberate sentimentalism.
The creative process has brought me several deep insights. First, in adapting realist material, to see the big picture through small details (以小见大, yi xiao jian da - "use small, see big") remains fundamental. We do not rely on grand narratives to proclaim the changes of the era, but instead let the imprints of the times flow out naturally through such fine-grained daily matters as train tickets, train broadcasts, neighborhood small talk, and partings of choice. What audiences remember is not merely one case after another, but the inheritance and human feeling between two generations of railway workers across the years. Second, adaptation must hold fast to the "soul" and let go of the "form." The original work has already taken root in people's hearts, and many audience members will walk into the theater carrying pre-existing impressions. As a playwright, respecting and distilling the core of the original work does not mean clinging to every word and sentence; but holding fast to the characters and to the spiritual底色 is the bottom line of adaptation
Now that the play has embarked on a national tour, every performance's resonance with the audience below the stage is constantly confirming: no matter how the artistic form is transformed, works that sincerely write the fates of ordinary people will always possess power

The TV drama Protagonist scenario audiovisual symphony concert has met its audience. The incidental music that once lay hidden behind the images of film and television scenes is now, paired with the classic imagery from the drama and accompanied by the grand symphonic performance of the China Broadcasting Art Troupe (China Film Orchestra), presented on the stage. The TV drama Protagonist is adapted from Chen Yan's original novel of the same name, and has gained both popularity and critical acclaim through its narrative quality and audiovisual language. To be able to participate in the scoring work for Protagonist was a very fortunate thing. Such a major drama spans regions and eras, features the collision and fusion of Qinqiang opera and symphony, and traces the growth and transformation of numerous characters; the scoring work faced enormous challenges.
The score for Protagonist was a practice of using Qinqiang opera as the foundational material, exploring the modernization, cinematicization, and symphonicization of traditional opera music. From creative concept, material, logic, to technique, we made a number of attempts.
We first recorded a large amount of Qinqiang opera material, including instrumental, vocal, and percussive elements, and even classic passages from art forms such as Wanwan tune and shadow puppetry. Then we selected basic melodies, motifs, or even smaller materials that matched the characters of the TV drama, organizing and filtering them. Only then did we begin composing, adapting, and varying, in order to meet the two most basic needs of TV drama scoring: narrative and lyricism.
Supervisor Zhang Yimou established the creative direction — that Qinqiang opera and its Qin charm should serve as the tonal foundation for the entire drama's score. The melodies were mostly selected from classic passages such as Five Dian Slope, Three Drops of Blood, Executing Mei An, Zhou Ren Returns Home, and Golden Sand Beach; in application, characters such as Yi Qin'e and Hu Sanyuan each have corresponding symbolic Qinqiang motifs; for the empty-scene shots, we drew on the transitional function of Qinqiang opera qupai tunes, choosing traditional tunes such as Little Peach Blossom, Drilling the Chimney, and Opening the Cabinet and Box. Some were adapted and processed using orchestral scoring techniques, while others were presented in their original, unadulterated form. For instruments and materials, we focused primarily on the banhu fiddle and percussion, the most distinctive elements of Qinqiang opera. We were fortunate to invite the master banhu player Ran Fei to perform; the widespread use of the bangu drum in humorous passages, as well as in the point-by-point writing and emotional build-up sections, served to provide the finishing touch (点睛的作用, dian jing de zuo yong - "dot the eyes, function"). The string section's performance was kept as close as possible to the sound of native folk instruments. We also invited students from the Shaanxi Opera Research Institute to record the children's-voice luogu jing percussion patterns, and in Beijing recorded a large amount of children's voices and bel canto humming to support them, allowing the score to broaden and thicken on top of fulfilling its functional role. As the narrative developed, the overall arrangement originally based on Qinqiang opera gradually incorporated pieces such as Orchid Grass and Cinderella. The most important Qinqiang passages were recorded by Qinqiang opera performers. In the latter half of the series, many combinations of the woodwind section and strings were added. This kind of experimentation I had already used when scoring the TV drama A Lifelong Journey, and it was warm and fit the images well. We also employed the techniques of TV drama trailer-style writing and film-style point-by-point writing. The classic passages that left an impression on audiences — such as Hu Sanyuan kneeling to entrust his charge, and the death of Master Gou — are all presentations of point-by-point writing. Within the scope of music editing and the musical system of Qinqiang opera itself, whether the mode system of huan mode and ku mode, or the rhythmic system of the six major ban forms, all were preserved to the greatest extent possible within what the plot allowed. We thank Qinqiang opera artists such as Dang Zhongtian, Ren Xiaolei, and Ran Fei for their guidance and tireless recording sessions. The successful presentation of the concert also owes thanks to the China Broadcasting Art Troupe, the Weinan Qinqiang Opera Troupe, and many other artists for their heartfelt performances. We have kneaded all the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy of life into Qinqiang opera and its Qin charm. We hope that through this musical form and mode of presentation, we can bring everyone a beautiful experience and a rich warmth. (The author is the music director of the TV drama Protagonist.)

In August this year, the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum launched the Ke Yi Guan (Can Be Observed) intangible cultural heritage social-education performing arts activity (hereinafter referred to as Ke Yi Guan). "Poetry, it can stir, it can observe, it can unite, it can express grievance..." The naming of Ke Yi Guan is taken from the Analects.
Ke Yi Guan includes four chapters: "Spring · Tea," "Summer · Porcelain," "Autumn · Dyeing," and "Winter · New Year," using the four seasons as the temporal sequence, and employing a dual-line narrative of old craftsmen guarding the craft and young people passing on the craft, systematically linking more than 20 representative intangible cultural heritage items, including traditional Chinese tea processing techniques and related customs, Longquan celadon traditional firing techniques, blue calico printing and dyeing techniques, and Spring Festival — the social practice of Chinese people celebrating the traditional new year. The performers are mainly amateurs, including 12 intangible cultural heritage inheritors, 30 vocational high school students, and 30 adolescents recruited from society. We strive, through music and dance, to present in a landscape-like manner the technical processes, object aesthetics, and festival customs of intangible cultural heritage, presenting a harmonious, beautiful, poetic style of intangible cultural heritage production and daily life, vividly interpreting the spirit of craftsmanship (工匠精神, gong jiang jing shen - "craftsman, spirit"), life aesthetics, and patriotism and devotion to family and nation (家国情怀, jia guo qing huai - "family, country, sentiment").
The Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (“十五五”规划纲要, shi wu wu gui hua gang yao - "fifteenth, five, plan, outline") clearly proposes "raising the level of protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, and cultivating new scenarios for inheritance and experience." The creation and launch of Ke Yi Guan is a practical exploration of this important new proposition. In cultivating new scenarios for inheritance and experience, Ke Yi Guan focuses on breaking new ground through "newness."
New in space. We have restructured the spatial layout, integrating artistic narration, technological presentation, and life-oriented expression into one, linking the multifunctions of intangible cultural heritage performance, experience, discussion, market, and study tours, constructing a perceivable, participable, interactive comprehensive cultural space. Take the "Offering Tea" segment in the "Spring · Tea" chapter as an example. After the inheritor stir-fries tea leaves on site, all performers, holding celadon tea cups in their hands, slowly walk toward the audience area, performing the threefold offering ritual. Tea, from the hands of the tea master, to the dancers, to the youth, to the children, and finally to the audience — this process of "hand-to-hand transmission" conveys not only the tea itself, but also an emotional sequence of gratitude, reverence, and identification. Thus, the audience's cognition of intangible cultural heritage can transform from one-way viewing into an immersive, experiential, participatory composite cognition.
New in subjects. Ke Yi Guan is positioned as "educating people," rather than a mere performing arts activity. On stage, from intangible cultural heritage inheritors, to high school students, to publicly recruited young performers, everyone who steps onto the stage is an ordinary person in life, presenting in the most plain way with authentic character, conveying the warmth of craftsmanship, interpreting that every "amateur" in life can become the "protagonist" on stage. The fully open stage dissolves the boundaries of traditional performance-audience relationships. When audiences see the sweat on the inheritors' foreheads, the calluses on their fingers, the nervous and slightly messy footsteps, and the moment the clay blank takes shape at the fingertips, intangible cultural heritage techniques are no longer the project term explanations, technical process diagrams on museum exhibition walls, but rather what a real person is doing here and now. The stage is the scene of object production; the objects are not props used to decorate the stage; the plot is not a display of artistic finished products, but a presentation of the technical process itself; what audiences watch is not only a performance, but a witnessing of the process of craftsmanship creating objects.
Threefold linkage makes Ke Yi Guan more than just observation — linking the "can unite" community aggregation, through thematic discussions and markets, cultivating interest; linking the museum's intangible cultural heritage experiences, where audiences, with performance ticket stubs, experience at the intangible cultural heritage handicraft experience center, transforming the emotion on stage into practice under their fingertips; linking off-site "can travel," connecting 5 intangible cultural heritage study routes. The first phase of Ke Yi Guan activities takes the theme of "human seasons within intangible cultural heritage," achieving exploration from concept to practice. In the future, it will also use "Ke Yi Guan" as a bond, allowing more intangible cultural heritage projects and inheritors to participate, with innovative expression, integrating intangible cultural heritage into contemporary life, especially into the lives of young people, making it a replicable, extendable brand.
Where wood shavings fly, the spirit of craftsmanship flows quietly in the bloodline; where tea fragrance lingers, love grows slowly under the sunlight; where indigo rises and falls, time is silently woven in the warp and weft...
Technique is the entry point; the human heart is the final destination. When intangible cultural heritage is seen in new ways, when the public is invited to become a link in the inheritance chain, intangible cultural heritage is the cultural bloodline that still lives.
