The author endorses the book's four "non-negotiable boundaries"—the scene, meaning, values, and responsibility cannot be ceded—as industry red lines. The text also frames the book as a vivid sample for artificial intelligence governance, noting that issues like content generation and cognitive security emerged first in news communication. It concludes that while machines can be upgraded, conscience, reverence, responsibility, and faith forever belong to humanity.
Summary: The article reviews Li Xiaoyu's book *Searching for Treasures across the Seas: A Panorama of Chinese Illustrated Ancient Books Collected Overseas*, which gathers fifteen rare Chinese illustrated ancient books from libraries in Britain, France, Japan, Germany, and other countries. The author, drawing on her interdisciplinary background, analyzes the books from art-historical, publishing-industry, and emotional perspectives, decoding symbolic meanings and conjecturing ancient bookmaking thinking. The review highlights how the book connects ancient and present, inviting readers to imagine the travel fashions of the Ming and Qing dynasties and feel the human warmth behind the ancient books. It concludes by citing art historian Fan Jingzhong, who says the book allows these rare books to "return to their homeland" in another way, enabling readers to commune in spirit with ancients across time and space.
Summary: The article announces the publication of the book *Ten Kilometers of the Human World*, reflecting on the author's practice of observing and recording life along their daily commute. The author describes encounters with ordinary people, such as a noodle shop cook, a folk artisan, and a clerk caring for a fish, emphasizing that "in the human world, no one is an NPC" and everyone is the protagonist of their own life. The author expresses gratitude for the resonance and support received from netizens, noting that writing has healed themselves and inspired others to rebuild their capacity for perception.

At the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the Republic of India, President Xi Jinping will travel to New Delhi, India, from September 12 to 13 to attend the 18th BRICS Leaders' Meeting. Since 2013, President Xi Jinping has chaired or attended multiple BRICS leaders' meetings and put forward a series of important propositions and initiatives on deepening BRICS cooperation, leading the "Greater BRICS Cooperation" to improve quality and upgrade, and to proceed steadily and far. Next year, China will again serve as the BRICS rotating chair. All parties expect China to pool the collective wisdom and strong synergy of BRICS countries and jointly write a new chapter in the third "Golden Decade" of BRICS cooperation.
Having a far-sighted vision (高瞻远瞩, gao zhan yuan zhu - "high, look, far, see") to chart the blueprint for cooperation
At present, the changes unseen in a century in the world are accelerating, and hegemonism, unilateralism, and protectionism are rumors or harmful trends spreading widely (甚嚣尘上, shen xiao chen shang - "very, clamor, dust, rise"). Looking around the globe, the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to drag on, the Palestine-Israel issue remains unsettled or unresolved (悬而未决, xuan er wei jue - "hang, and, not, decide"), and the Strait of Hormuz is fraught with volatility. The trend of major global adjustment, major division, and major regrouping is becoming increasingly evident. As an important force shaping the international landscape, the world yearns to hear the BRICS voice and expects BRICS cooperation to inject more certainty, stability, and positive energy into the world.
Thought leads the course. At multiple BRICS leaders' meetings, President Xi Jinping, with a far-sighted vision, has discerned the overall trend, made a series of precise judgments on the world situation, and conveyed a powerful and resounding BRICS voice to the world.
Last year, at the BRICS leaders' virtual summit, President Xi Jinping pointed out that individual countries have launched successive trade wars and tariff wars, severely impacting the world economy and seriously undermining international trade rules. At this critical juncture, BRICS countries, as the first echelon of the Global South, must uphold and carry forward the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, jointly defend multilateralism, uphold the multilateral trading system, advance "Greater BRICS Cooperation," and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Two years ago, at the 16th BRICS Leaders' Meeting, President Xi Jinping took a clear and distinct stand (旗帜鲜明, qi zhi xian ming - "flag, banner, bright, clear"), stating that the greater the storms of the times, the more we must bravely ride the tide, and with indomitable willpower (坚韧不拔, jian ren bu ba - "firm, tough, not, pull"), daring to be a pioneer (敢为人先, gan wei ren xian - "dare, for, person, first"), and the wisdom to recognize change and respond to change, forge BRICS into a major channel promoting solidarity and cooperation among the "Global South" and a vanguard force driving reform of global governance.
Ten years ago, at the plenary session of the 8th BRICS Leaders' Meeting, President Xi Jinping positively assessed the fruitful achievements of BRICS cooperation over the past ten years and put forward a five-point initiative: jointly building an open world, jointly outlining a development vision, jointly responding to global challenges, jointly upholding fairness and justice, and jointly deepening partnership.
President Xi Jinping, grasping the trends of world development and the tide of the times, clearing away ideological confusion, pointing out the direction of BRICS cooperation, and continuously injecting momentum and confidence into BRICS cooperation.
Since 2013, at key historical junctures of linking the past with the future (承前启后, cheng qian qi hou - "inherit, before, open, after") and carrying on the past to open up the future (继往开来, ji wang kai lai - "continue, past, open, future") in BRICS cooperation, China has twice served as BRICS chair, charting the blueprint for cooperation with a far-sighted vision, leaving a distinct Chinese imprint on the course of BRICS development.
In September 2017, in Xiamen, Fujian, with its picturesque scenery, BRICS leaders decided to develop a closer, broader, and more comprehensive strategic partnership, build an upgraded version of cooperation driven by the "three wheels" of economic, trade, and financial cooperation, political and security cooperation, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, further promote BRICS cooperation toward institutionalization and substantivization, and depict the beautiful vision of the second "Golden Decade." During the Xiamen Summit, China successfully hosted the Dialogue of Emerging Market and Developing Countries and established the "BRICS Plus" cooperation model.
In 2022, as changes unseen in a century accelerated, human society stood at a critical juncture of deciding which path to take (何去何从, he qu he cong - "where, go, where, follow"). China took over the BRICS chairmanship, hosted more than 170 events across various fields, and drove important progress in BRICS cooperation on multiple fronts. With China's active promotion, BRICS launched a historic expansion process. Since then, the BRICS family has successively welcomed new members and partner countries, ushering in a new era of solidarity and self-strengthening among the Global South.
President Xi Jinping, embracing the great cause of building a community with a shared future for mankind, caring deeply about the development and revitalization of the Global South, and cherishing the solidarity and self-strengthening of BRICS countries, has on multiple occasions at BRICS leaders' meetings and important multilateral forums profoundly expounded the BRICS spirit of "openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation," and incisively summarized three important insights from BRICS cooperation—treating each other as equals and seeking common ground while reserving differences (求同存异, qiu tong cun yi - "seek, same, exist, different"), being pragmatic and innovative with win-win cooperation, and embracing the world with a broad mind while achieving one's own success. This series of important expositions profoundly elucidates the original aspiration and founding mission, development direction, and value pursuit of BRICS cooperation, steers the course of the BRICS mechanism, and leads "Greater BRICS Cooperation" to ride the wind and waves, proceeding steadily and far.
"China has played an important role in pooling the 'BRICS strength'"; "The series of important propositions put forward by China conform to the trend of historical development and meet the practical needs of common development of BRICS countries and other Global South countries"... All parties highly recognize China's leading role in pooling BRICS strength, advancing BRICS cooperation, and promoting the revitalization of the Global South, and unanimously expect President Xi Jinping to work with leaders of various countries to converge the mighty force of BRICS, deepen pragmatic cooperation, continuously enhance the representation and voice of Global South countries in global governance, and sound the powerful melody of the times for"Greater BRICS Cooperation."
Driving BRICS cooperation to shift gears and accelerate
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the BRICS cooperation mechanism. Since its launch in 2006, the BRICS cooperation mechanism has risen from foreign ministers' dialogues to regular summits of leaders, grown from an economic dialogue platform into a comprehensive strategic cooperation mechanism covering a wide range of fields, and has developed into an important cooperation platform for Global South countries.
Since 2013, President Xi Jinping has creatively proposed a series of important propositions and initiatives such as the"BRICS Plus" cooperation model, driving BRICS cooperation to achieve major development and demonstrate major achievements, playing a key role at every critical juncture of the BRICS mechanism.
From the traditional "dual-track parallel" of economic and political-security cooperation, to the "three-wheel drive" of economic, trade, and financial cooperation, political and security cooperation, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and then to putting forward the five major propositions of building a"Peaceful BRICS," "Innovative BRICS," "Green BRICS," "Just BRICS," and "Cultural BRICS," China has continuously driven BRICS cooperation to shift gears and accelerate.
At present, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating and achieving breakthroughs. BRICS countries, based on the major trends of the times, closely focusing on frontier key fields such as intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence, green and low-carbon development, new industrialization, and digital infrastructure, deepen policy coordination, advance standards mutual recognition, strengthen capacity co-building, continuously broaden channels for industrial integration, deeply tap the potential of pragmatic cooperation, and jointly open up a new landscape of mutual benefit, win-win, and common development.
In May this year, the 2026 BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Forum was held in Xiamen. The forum, themed"Co-building an Intelligent Manufacturing Ecosystem Accelerating the New Industrial Revolution Process," attracted representatives from 25 BRICS member states, partner countries, other developing countries, and relevant international organizations. Since the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Innovation Base was established in Xiamen, it has held more than 40"two-way going" events such as"Chinese Enterprises' BRICS Tour" and"BRICS Enterprises' China Tour," conducted more than 90 sessions of online and offline talent training, signed a cumulative total of 138 cooperation projects with investment exceeding 62 billion yuan, and the potential of pragmatic BRICS cooperation is continuously emerging.
In the Benban photovoltaic industrial park in Aswan Province in southern Egypt, rows of photovoltaic panels convert abundant solar resources into precious electricity indispensable to local residents' production and daily life; on the outskirts of the small town of João Câmara in northeastern Brazil, the Gameleira wind power project built by Chinese enterprises can supply approximately 360 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to saving 129,600 tons of standard coal... China supports BRICS countries' renewable energy and low-carbon infrastructure projects, helping BRICS countries embark on a new industrialization path that is efficient and low-carbon.
BRICS countries bring together profound histories and splendid cultures. People-to-people and cultural exchanges are an important component of the BRICS cooperation mechanism, playing an important and unique role. In recent years, people-to-people and cultural exchanges among BRICS countries have been rich and colorful, with film festivals, sports meets, co-produced films and documentaries, and other activities beloved by the people presenting a splendid array, building bridges of people-to-people connectivity. The BRICS Digital Education Cooperation Initiative, the BRICS Media Summit, and the BRICS Seminar on Governance have built diverse platforms for mutual learning among civilizations and people-to-people and cultural exchanges among BRICS countries. Evandro Carvalho, professor at the Federal Fluminense University in Brazil, said that on the BRICS cooperation platform, China actively promotes exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, scientific research, and other fields, and also helps BRICS countries draw wisdom from diverse civilizations to solve practical problems.
China is not only an advocate of BRICS development, but also an action-oriented practitioner promoting BRICS cooperation to proceed steadily and far. Diaa Helmy, secretary-general of the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce, said, "China upholds an open attitude in conducting technological exchanges and sharing experience with other BRICS countries, providing broad cooperation opportunities for the Global South."
Making BRICS contributions to improving global governance
"Change is the nature of heaven and earth." In today's era, the collective rise of emerging markets and developing countries, represented by BRICS countries, is fundamentally reshaping the map of the world.
Over the past 20 years since its establishment, BRICS has continued to grow and strengthen, accounting for nearly half of the world's population, approximately 30% of global economic output, and one-fifth of world trade, gathering a"great treasure trove," "great factory," and "great market," and has become the golden brand and the most important platform for solidarity and cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries in today's world.
The vast number of developing countries are optimistic about the prospects of BRICS and ardently hope that BRICS countries will play a greater role in maintaining world peace, promoting common development, and improving global governance.
In September 2025, BRICS leaders held a virtual summit and conducted in-depth exchanges of views on the current international situation and issues of common concern. President Xi Jinping put forward three suggestions:"uphold multilateralism and safeguard international fairness and justice," "uphold openness and win-win results and maintain the international economic and trade order," and"uphold solidarity and cooperation and pool the synergy for common development," pointing out the direction and injecting strong momentum for opening up a new prospect of high-quality development of"Greater BRICS Cooperation."
In today's international situation, full of change and turmoil, with regional conflicts and turbulence occurring frequently, the global security deficit is growing rather than shrinking. The concept of a"Peaceful BRICS" helps BRICS countries become a stabilizing force in an unstable international environment. From China and Brazil jointly initiating, together with relevant Global South countries, the"Group of Friends for Peace" on the Ukraine crisis, to calling on all parties in the Middle East to cease fire as soon as possible and stop killing, and making unremitting efforts for a comprehensive, just, and lasting settlement of the Palestinian question; from supporting the UN Security Council in convening an emergency meeting on the US military strike against Venezuela, to calling on the United States and Iran to resume dialogue and negotiations as soon as possible and return to the correct track of political settlement, China has consistently opposed the use or threat of use of force in international relations and opposed imposing one country's will on another.
Today's world is a community of shared future in which all prosper together and all suffer together. What the people of all countries yearn for is not a"new Cold War" or"small circles," but a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanliness, and beauty. This is the logic of historical progress and the trend of the times.
The vitality of BRICS lies in equality and mutual benefit, and the strength of BRICS lies in solidarity and mutual assistance. BRICS countries came together based on common pursuits and in response to the global trend toward peace and development. BRICS countries uphold a correct view of the world, history, and the overall situation, carry forward the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, practice true multilateralism, take the lead in upholding the international system centered on the United Nations, resolutely resist acts that undermine international order and trample international rules, and promote the building of an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.
The reason why the BRICS mechanism can continue to grow stronger and why BRICS cooperation can maintain lasting vitality lies in its embrace of openness and inclusiveness, its goal of win-win cooperation, and its pursuit of fairness and justice. This is fundamentally different in nature from those"small groups" and"small circles" that cling to Cold War mentality and provoke bloc confrontation.
China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, anda defender of the international order. The peace deficit intensifies geopolitical conflicts, the development deficit widens the North-South divide, the security deficit erodes the foundation of mutual trust, and the governance deficit undermines the effectiveness of multilateralism. To resolve the"four deficits," President Xi Jinping has put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, responding to the international community's call for peace, development, cooperation, and justice, promoting the reform and improvement of the global governance system, enhancing the representation and voice of Global South countries, and pooling consensus and strength for building a community with a shared future for mankind.
"Cooperation among BRICS countries is not only a response to the current economic and political landscape, but also an opportunity to shape a fairer and more sustainable future"; "The representativeness of the BRICS cooperation mechanism has further expanded, its influence on the international stage continues to grow, and it has a stronger capacity to advance various global agendas"... The international community positively evaluates the role of BRICS cooperation in global governance and appreciates China's important contributions to the development of the BRICS mechanism.
Under the changes unseen in a century, "Greater BRICS Cooperation" is leading the great unity of the Global South and is producing important and far-reaching historical influence. Having traversed 20 years, BRICS cooperation has increasingly become a backbone force in safeguarding peace, promoting development, and upholding justice in the world. Next year, China will again serve as the BRICS rotating chair. The international community generally believes that, with the joint efforts and promotion of China and BRICS partners, BRICS cooperation, now entering its third"Golden Decade," will be even more substantial in content, stronger in lineup, and louder in voice, and will certainly further promote the common values of BRICS, safeguard the common interests of BRICS, promote the solidarity and self-strengthening of BRICS, and inject strong momentum into achieving an equal and orderly multipolar world anda universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.

Ideological and political courses and curriculum-based ideological and political education advance in tandem. "As a high school geography teacher, my understanding of 'fostering virtue through education' is to let students, while cognizing mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, also understand the close connection between personal growth and national development." Mao Jinqi, a teacher at Ningbo Xiaoshi High School in Zhejiang, said that he insists on moving the classroom into real contexts, basing education on practice, and guiding students to cultivate deep feelings for the family, the country, and the world.
Role models lead the way, devoting oneself wholeheartedly to education.

"'Most Beautiful Teacher' is not only an honor, but also a heavy responsibility. I will turn this glory into the motivation for devoting myself to teaching, continuously improving in professional growth, and striving to be a guide for students in learning, in conducting themselves, and in dealing with affairs." Wang Qing said.
"General Secretary Xi Jinping hopes that teachers will 'enhance professional quality and capability,' and his instructions have entered my heart, with responsibility on my shoulders." Cai Jinghua, principal of the Hongshan Branch of Beijing Primary School, said, "Basic education is the foundational project for improving national quality. We will rely on school-based research and training, solidly temper the teaching staff, and run basic education at the people's doorstep with dedication."
To strengthen the country, one must first strengthen education; to strengthen education, one must first strengthen teachers.
"General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about us frontline teachers, sending care and greetings through various means. Last year, the General Secretary replied to representatives of the national special-post teachers, and this year, he again fully affirmed the contributions of teachers across the country. I feel deeply warmed, and my drive for teaching and educating people is even stronger." Wang Xiangru, a special-post teacher at Baijiaban Boarding Primary School, Liujiahuizhen, Lin County, Shanxi Province, said.
"Every three-foot podium carries the dreams of children." Wang Xiangru said that he will continuously hone his teaching skills, care for every child with heart and soul, devote all his enthusiasm to the cause of education, and fulfill the responsibility of a grassroots teacher with practical actions.
"General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest words are both care and urging." Zhu Xifen, principal of the First Piece Primary School of Wenming Yaozu Township, Rucheng County, Hunan Province, said, "I will continue to tell the story of the 'Half Quilt' on this red soil, accompany students' growth with love and patience, and help them become useful talents."
"General Secretary Xi Jinping requires us to 'vigorously promote the spirit of educators, cultivate noble teacher ethics and professional conduct,' which has pointed out the direction for us to further improve normal education." Cheng Jianping, Party Secretary of Beijing Normal University, said that the university will further build a whole-chain education system covering recruitment, cultivation, placement, and post-service support, and with higher-quality cultivation of normal students, supply more high-quality professional teachers for the construction of a strong education country.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Party committees and governments at all levels should attach importance to and strengthen the construction of the teaching staff, create a good social atmosphere of respecting teachers and valuing education, and gather the strong joint force for building a strong education country."

Chen Bichang, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Education Department of Shandong Province, said.
Wang Lei, Director of the Teacher Work Department of the Ministry of Education, introduced that recently, the "Chinese Teacher" mini-program launched by the Ministry of Education has put online a series of practical new functions, and the third phase of the public welfare action to respect teachers and benefit teachers has been launched, focusing on fields such as medical health, transportation, and life services to launch exclusive preferential services for teachers.

The question of the view of political achievements is a question of fundamental importance, bearing on acting in the interest of the Party and the public (立党为公, li dang wei gong - "establish the party, act for the public") and governing for the people.

——Consolidating the ideological foundation for establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements
"All things that obtain their root will flourish; all undertakings that obtain their way will succeed." Establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements cannot for a single moment be separated from the nourishment and guidance of the Party's innovative theory. Only when a correct view of political achievements is firmly established ideologically can it be resolutely practiced in action.

A certain brigade of the Army seriously organized the reading of original works, study of original texts, and comprehension of original principles, effectively deriving patterns, clarifying directions, learning methods, and increasing wisdom from them, consciously benchmarking against them, internalizing them in the heart and manifesting them in action. A certain base of the Navy, combining study at the theoretical study center group meetings of Party committees and cadre theoretical rotation training, organized Party members and cadres to deeply study and comprehend the connotation and essence of the "Fourteen Commitments" of Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building, with members of Party committee leading bodies using their own study results to carry out thematic seminar exchanges. All levels have generally persisted in studying with feeling, studying with thinking, studying with mission, linking online and offline, interacting inside and outside the classroom, promoting theoretical study to go deeper and more practical, entering the mind and the heart.
Conducting in-depth discussion and analysis to uphold what is right and correct what is wrong——
All levels, centering on realistic questions such as what one joins the Party for, what one serves as a soldier for, and what one serves as a general for, have strengthened discrimination between right and wrong, guided Party members and cadres to connect the Party's historical mission, the military's mission and tasks, and their own responsibilities in thinking, forging, and introspection, to place themselves in, place their duties in, place their work in, to seek gaps, trace roots, and strengthen cultivation from the perspective of Party spirit.
Examination and analysis made faces red and foreheads sweat, directly pointing at problems; warning education used cases as mirrors, serving as deterrents and warnings. A certain regiment of the Air Force aviation, comparing specific persons, specific matters, and specific problems, highlighting "what the poisonous legacy and accumulated malpractices are, where the roots lie, and what to do henceforth", conducted in-depth discussion and analysis, with everyone expressing their understanding and exposing their thinking, examining by level problems such as impure motives for performing duties, improper use of power as officials, and unrealistic work styles. Focusing on"how to restore and carry forward the fine traditions of our Party and our military, returning to the true colors of revolutionary soldiers", the Party committee of a certain unit of the Armed Police Force adopted methods such as thematic analysis and stratified discussion to deepen ideological cleansing, removing ideological impurities from the depths of the soul, and turning right what had been inverted and distorted.
Drawing lessons from positive and negative typical cases through education——
After the advanced deeds of Wang Ji, researcher at the Computer College of the National University of Defense Technology and"Role Model of the Times", were widely reported, they aroused warm repercussions throughout the entire military. The broad ranks of officers and soldiers generally reflected that Wang Ji's course of struggle of loyal service to the country and unswerving commitment to strengthening the military was a heroic hymn that shook the heart and inspired people to forge ahead, a vivid teaching material for establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, and that they should take him as an example, strive at their posts and forge ahead in struggle.
All levels have studied and used well the positive and negative typical cases compiled at the central and whole-military levels, strengthened exemplary guidance and negative warnings, both learning the correct view of political achievements embodied in positive models, emulating the exemplary and virtuous (见贤思齐, jian xian si qi -"see the worthy, think of emulating") against advanced examples, and connecting with various case notifications, confessions of those who violated discipline and law, and typical cases in their own units and fields to carry out warning education, warning and admonishing Party members and cadres to know when to stop and feel shame (知止知耻, zhi zhi zhi chi -"know when to stop, know shame"), always engaging in entrepreneurial activities and work (干事创业, gan shi chuang ye -"do things, start an enterprise") with a correct view of political achievements.
A certain college of the National University of Defense Technology organized serious study of the advanced deeds and lofty spirit of the winners of the"July 1 Medal" and the commended targets of the national and whole-military"Two Excellences, One Advanced" commendations, inspiring all levels to comprehend and practice a correct view of political achievements. A certain unit of the Military Aerospace Forces used negative typical cases at different levels and of different types, guiding Party members and cadres to deeply analyze the root causes and crux of deviations in the view of political achievements, examining and clearing the poisonous legacy contamination behind problems.
Truth is like a torch, illuminating the road ahead; Party spirit is like a rock, anchoring the coordinate values. The broad ranks of Party members and cadres, in ideological tempering, have honed their original aspiration and founding mission, consolidated their Party spirit foundation, and further grasped the"golden key" and"compass" for establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements.
Implementing training requirements to examine and analyze
——Focusing on deeply excavating problems of deviation and dislocation in the view of political achievements
Problems are the voice of the times, and also the orientation of work.
All levels, benchmarking against Chairman Xi's important discourses on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, benchmarking against the key problems to be resolved in the study and education, benchmarking against problems fed back by discipline inspection and supervision, inspections and tours, audit supervision, etc., have carried forward the spirit of self-revolution, focused on deeply excavating problems of deviation and dislocation in the view of political achievements, and deeply analyzed the root causes and crux of these problems.
Establishing firm problem targets and conducting genuine examination with meticulous comparison——
All levels, centering on the problem targets clarified by the entire military and refined at their own levels, have conducted"benchmarking" against the requirements of the Party Central Committee, used the Party Constitution and Party regulations to"scan", used the expectations of officers and soldiers to"see through", persisted in combining personal examination with organizational examination, higher-level supervision with lower-level self-examination, comprehensively sorted out and refined to form a list of problems of deviation in the view of political achievements, persisted in examining and rectifying whatever problems exist, focusing on solving whatever problems are most prominent.
Does the project topic conform to battlefield needs? Is the research process closely aligned with actual combat? Do scientific research results help enhance combat effectiveness? A certain research institute of the Academy of Military Sciences conducted reflective analysis on whether research results can keep up with actual combat needs, guiding scientific researchers to examine and correct deviations in the view of political achievements, promoting military scientific research to focus more closely on building the combat effectiveness of troops. In response to the situation where a small number of Party members and cadres"fear taking responsibility" when facing difficult problems and"take a detour" when facing the demands of officers and soldiers, a certain detachment of the Armed Police Force conducted reflective analysis around"doing more leads to more mistakes, doing less leads to fewer mistakes, doing nothing leads to no mistakes", making determined efforts to examine and rectify ideological deviations incompatible with their duties and missions.
Following the mass line and soliciting opinions with an open door——
The voices, expectations, and aspirations of officers and soldiers are precisely the focus of finding and solving problems. All levels have followed the Party's mass line in the new era, through multiple online and offline channels, proactively sought advice and needs from officers and soldiers, examining problems that"manifest below but have roots above".
All levels have listened to the heartfelt words of officers and soldiers in"truly opening the door", reflecting on problems of deviation in the view of political achievements against this backdrop. Departments of the CMC organs, by sorting out and answering problems reflected by officers and soldiers on the military strength network, have reflected on deficiencies and weaknesses in routine policy guidance and normalized service to solve difficulties. The Party committee and organs of a certain group army of the Army, combining inspection and supervision with listening to opinions from grassroots units, have examined problems such as vain and fussy guidance for building grassroots units and layers of added burdens. The Party committee of a certain detachment of the Navy held a forum for grassroots officers and soldiers, collected messages and replies from online mailboxes, understood and grasped the concerns and expectations of officers and soldiers, and reflected on deviations and dislocations in work guidance.
Persisting in strictness at the top driving examination and analysis at lower levels——
Leading organs take the lead, persisting in turning the blade inward to conduct in-depth examination of problems. High-level Party committee organs, by holding special organizational life meetings, conducting reflective analysis, etc., have examined problems in commanding and guiding construction, in"new officials not settling old accounts", in grasping grassroots and building foundations, deeply excavated poisonous legacy contamination in the view of political achievements, driving Party organizations at all levels and the broad ranks of Party members and cadres to genuinely examine problems and deeply examine problems.
Behind the problems, those political achievement impulses of seeking quick success and instant benefits, boasting and loving grandeur, those subjectivist tendencies of disregarding science and disregarding laws, those erroneous thoughts of not daring to struggle and not willing to bear responsibility have been examined out and exposed... The Party committee of a certain unit of the Cyberspace Force used well the weapon of criticism and self-criticism, conscientiously examining gaps and deficiencies such as insufficient performance of duties and responsibilities and insufficient quality and efficiency in work implementation. Leaders of a certain center of the Information Support Force went separately deep into the grassroots, jointly held"problem-exposing meetings" with officers and soldiers, jointly identifying problems such as work advancement not being closely aligned with actual combat and difficult problems not being sufficiently resolved.
The deeper problems are examined, the more solid rectification will be grasped. All levels, with an attitude of self-reflection and deeply excavating roots, have strictly examined and analyzed, neither downplaying, avoiding, nor covering up problems, seeing persons, seeing matters, seeing thoughts, and with the courage of self-dissection have examined clearly and identified accurately problems of deviation in the view of political achievements.
Persisting in confronting real problems with real action and strictly grasping rectification
——Promoting problem rectification and remediation to take effect and produce results
Solving prominent problems of deviation in the view of political achievements is the key to achieving tangible results in the study and education. Only by unswervingly grasping rectification and remediation can officers and soldiers feel and perceive the results of the study and education.
All levels of the entire military have persisted in coordinating the rectification of problems found in the study and education with rectification and remediation in various fields, consciously adopting an attitude of not waiting, not relying, and rectifying immediately, grasping rectification with the tenacity and perseverance of thorough correction, letting officers and soldiers truly feel the new atmosphere and new changes brought by the study and education. At the whole-military level, five supervision groups have been successively dispatched to carry out two rounds of inspection and supervision, Party committees at and above the regimental level have generally done a good job of routine supervision, transmitting pressure layer by layer, strictly correcting deviations and guiding toward the right, persisting in working together on the same problem and promoting problem rectification.
Keeping a close eye on the problem list and conducting genuine rectification——
Rectification and remediation value prompt correction upon awareness and immediate correction upon action. Party committees at and above the regimental level and leading cadres, benchmarking against the problem list, have formulated rectification measures that are operable, time-bound, and responsibility-clarified, established a mechanism of listing accounts and canceling accounts upon completion, rectifying item by item without waiting or relying, and for prominent problems of deviation in the view of political achievements requiring long-term rectification, keeping a close eye on them and tracking their effectiveness.
During the study and education, all levels have focused their efforts on problems urgently needed for combat, urgently needed for construction, and urgently expected by officers and soldiers, starting from solving each specific problem and doing each specific thing well, strictly rectifying and correcting, promoting problem rectification to take effect and produce results. The Party committee of a certain combined arms brigade of the Army concentrated its efforts on tackling key problems, keeping a close eye on shortcomings restricting combat capability construction, refining plans and schemes, improving coordination mechanisms, strengthening exercises and training, promoting the improvement of combat effectiveness construction.
Party committees at and above the regimental level have persisted in linking upper and lower levels, concentrated on rectifying the prominent problem of"new officials not settling old accounts", proactively acknowledging accounts without shifting blame, accurately managing accounts without being perfunctory, closing accounts in a closed loop without delay. The Party committee of a certain unit of the Rocket Force established a tackling mechanism of"standing committee members taking the lead, list-based account cancellation", implemented dynamic management of"one plan per person, one strategy per matter", coordinated solving"long-standing difficult" problems of officers and soldiers such as medical treatment, housing, and involvement in litigation and lawsuits.
Coordinating rectification and remediation to exert force in the same direction——
Strengthening systematic thinking, coordinating and advancing rectification. Persisting in grasping rectification together with rectification and remediation in various fields, establishing one ledger, advancing rectification in an integrated manner, winning the trust of officers and soldiers through genuine and solid rectification.
Keeping a close eye on key fields such as concentrated power, dense funds, and abundant resources, strictly grasping and strictly governing, intensifying efforts to investigate corruption and misconduct simultaneously, driving the elimination of hidden rules and accumulated malpractices in various fields, correcting stubborn diseases and chronic ailments in the view of political achievements. A certain unit of the Air Force focused on strengthening supervision over major projects, preventing and correcting problems such as crude and wasteful practices, low quality and low efficiency, ensuring quality is guaranteed, capability is guaranteed, and integrity is guaranteed. A certain hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force, from consumables management to diagnosis and treatment processes and service attitudes, screened item by item, using opportunities such as rectification promotion meetings and office meetings to analyze situations and break through bottlenecks.
Following up with establishing systems and institutions and governing systematically——
Institutions govern the fundamental and the long-term. All levels have persisted in combining"immediate correction" with"long-term establishment", in examining and rectifying problems, analyzed and reflected on the nature, harm, causes, lessons, and costs of deviations in the view of political achievements, comprehensively sorted out deficiencies, shortcomings, and weaknesses in systems and mechanisms, improved systems and rules, vigorously grasped the implementation of systems, enhancing system governance effectiveness through regularization and institutionalization.
Establishing a long-term mechanism for establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, strengthening institutional guarantees for preventing and correcting deviations in the view of political achievements. Issuing several measures for strengthening education, management, and supervision of senior military cadres, strengthening supervision over the exercise of power in performing duties. Following up on improving systems and mechanisms in areas such as combat training, logistics support, equipment research, assessment and evaluation, military-civilian exchanges, and transparent conscription, continuously preventing and correcting problems of deviation in the view of political achievements. Solidly carrying out the cleanup of military laws and regulations, promoting the work of establishing, amending, abolishing, and interpreting regulatory documents.
Rectifying one place, standardizing one area, governing one domain. From immediate correction to establishing systems, from individual case resolution to systematic governance, effectively transforming institutional rules into rigid constraints, guiding all levels to clearly understand what can be done, what cannot be done, and how things should be done, consciously establishing a correct view of political achievements in thought and practicing it in action.
Emphasizing applying what is learned and taking practical and effective action
——Concentrating efforts on promoting high-quality development of the military
All great achievements are the result of continuous struggle, and all great undertakings need to be advanced by carrying forward the past and opening up the future. The military's establishment and practice of a correct view of political achievements must ultimately be reflected in continuously creating new prospects for the cause of strengthening the military.
All levels of the entire military have persisted in placing the starting point and focus of the study and education on completing with high quality the various tasks of combat, construction, and preparation, integrating these with concentrated efforts on promoting combat training and readiness, planning and tackling key problems, grasping grassroots and building foundations, and other ongoing work, promoting the correct view of political achievements to be implemented in work and carried out in practice, demonstrating a new atmosphere and new appearance of striving to strengthen the military through practical work and tangible results.
Returning the focus of work to the correct track and devoting all efforts to planning for combat and preparing for combat——
Time and again, combat alerts were sounded in the dead of night; time and again, emergency mobilizations with actual combat backgrounds were organized, always keeping the string of vigilance and combat readiness taut. Firmly establishing combat effectiveness as the sole and fundamental standard, discovering and solving problems through daily inspections and investigations, exercise and training reviews, etc., refining and examining problems of deviation in the view of political achievements in combat readiness and preparation, promoting all energy to focus on combat and all work to serve combat, successfully completing major tasks such as joint exercises and training, stability maintenance and rights protection, disaster relief, etc.
Each theater command has firmly established the baton of combat readiness and preparation, closely adhering to the situation and tasks in their respective directions, strictly correcting problems in planning for combat and grasping training, making determined efforts to improve the quality and effectiveness of combat readiness and struggle. At the front line of exercises and training, officers and soldiers sleep on their arms and train rigorously; at the forefront of military struggle preparation, troops are ready for combat at all times and capable of fighting at any moment. Units generally reflect that they have further returned the focus of combat readiness and preparation to the correct track, firmly established the orientation of genuine combat readiness, improved the quality and effectiveness of combat training and readiness, and markedly enhanced their confidence and conviction in strengthening the military and winning battles.
Persisting in taking practical and effective action to promote planning and tackling key problems——
This year is the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, and also a crucial year for striving to achieve the goal of building a strong military by the centenary of the military's founding. All levels have threaded deep implementation of the study and education, correcting development concepts, and advancing planning and construction together, striving to promote a good start and a good beginning for the 15th Five-Year Plan.
All departments and units have fully, accurately, and comprehensively implemented the new development philosophy, persisted in formulating and implementing the 15th Five-Year Plan with a correct view of political achievements, scientifically drawn the roadmap and construction blueprint for construction and development over the next five years. Each service and branch has persisted in proceeding from reality and acting in accordance with laws, paid attention to improving the responsibility system for planning implementation, promoted the concentration of forces and resources on tasks that must be accomplished, dynamically studied and resolved contradictions and problems in planning implementation, comprehensively improved the quality and effectiveness of planning implementation, and accelerated the construction of advanced combat effectiveness.
Focusing on consolidating foundations and strengthening grassroots to do a good job of grassroots construction——
The foundation for achieving the goal of building a strong military lies in the grassroots, and its vitality lies in the grassroots; shifting the center of gravity downward to grasp grassroots and build foundations is a tangible political achievement and a hidden achievement that benefits the long term.
Members of the Party committee leading body of a certain general detachment of the Armed Police Force went deep into the grassroots to conduct intensive research and dissect small problems, implementing"one detachment, one strategy" assistance and guidance for squadrons that have not been rated advanced for many years, promoting the forging of"three overcomings" grassroots units.A certain unit of the Rocket Force persisted in grasping construction in accordance with law and in accordance with regulations, supervising and standardizing the order of grassroots combat readiness and training, making determined efforts to correct prominent problems at the grassroots level, promoting comprehensive progress and comprehensive excellence in grassroots construction.
Facing new situations and new problems in grassroots construction, Party committee organs at all levels have consciously established the thinking of consolidating foundations and strengthening the grassroots, made determined efforts to do work that governs the fundamental, benefits the long term, and increases stamina, the foundation of troop construction and combat capability building has been made more solid, the mental state of grassroots officers and soldiers striving on the new journey and making contributions in the new era has been further uplifted, and promoting troop construction and development through practical work and tangible results has become a consensus and common action.
The war drums urge the swift horses forward, and striving with vigor is precisely the time. Party organizations at all levels of the entire military and the broad ranks of Party members and cadres must unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, persist in using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to arm the mind, guide practice, and promote work, establish a correct view of political achievements in thought and practice it in action, resolutely and effectively implement the major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, the Central Military Commission, and Chairman Xi's important instructions, resolutely produce political achievements for the people and through practical work, resolutely and unswervingly advance full and rigorous self-governance of the Party and full and rigorous governance of the military, consciously transform the results of the study and education into powerful motivation and practical action for uniting hearts and minds to advance the cause of strengthening the military, strive to create tangible achievements that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history, and write with all effort a new chapter of strengthening and revitalizing the military that is worthy of revolutionary predecessors, worthy of the century-old foundation, and worthy of the great era.
(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 10)
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 10) Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Notice on Strengthening Governance of the Difficult Problem of Payment Recovery for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), making arrangements for law-based governance of the difficult problem of payment recovery for small and medium-sized enterprises.
First, improve the rules for payment of accounts in various industries. Competent departments of various industries will embed the requirement for timely payment of accounts into industry management and strengthen its implementation. They will formulate and improve settlement and payment management regulations for their own industries and fields, clarifying key elements such as the starting point for calculating the account period, the methods and procedures for payment of accounts, the standards and time limits for inspection and acceptance of goods and services (or completion settlement of engineering projects),and the maximum payment period. They will issue initiatives for large enterprises to pay promptly, guiding large enterprises, especially leading enterprises, to take the lead in issuing and fulfilling commitments to pay accounts to small and medium-sized enterprises in cash within 60 days from the date of delivery of goods, projects, or services.
Second, strengthen supervision over the payment behavior of large enterprises. Establish and improve a monitoring mechanism for the accounts of large enterprises. For large enterprises that deliberately lengthen the account period, multiple departments will conduct joint admonishment talks and urge rectification. Strictly enforce anti-unfair competition law enforcement, and for egregious acts by large enterprises that abuse their dominant position to deliberately lengthen the account period, impose penalties in accordance with laws and regulations after verification. Refine and improve the information disclosure rules for listed companies, requiring listed companies whose accounts payable reach a certain scale to disclose matters such as the main methods of payment of accounts, the average account period, and the issuance of commercial bills and electronic vouchers. Give play to the exemplary role of central enterprises and state-owned enterprises in paying promptly; central enterprises will adopt cash payment for all payments to small and medium-sized enterprises, and large enterprises will maintain a reasonable proportion of cash payments.
Third, standardize the management of non-cash payment instruments. Compress the maximum payment period for electronic vouchers to 6 months; electronic voucher service platforms may not newly issue electronic vouchers with a payment period exceeding 6 months; commercial banks and commercial factoring companies may not provide financing for electronic vouchers with a payment period exceeding 6 months. Strictly supervise electronic voucher service platforms; electronic voucher service platforms must strictly implement all compliance requirements and connect their business data to the Shanghai Commercial Paper Exchange, which will conduct cross-institution, full-caliber monitoring of the issuance of commercial bills and electronic vouchers by large enterprises.
Fourth, strengthen the efficiency of capital transmission and financing support. Government procurement projects will adopt full cash payment, and the timeliness of payment will be incorporated into the scope of supervision over government procurement projects; strengthen supervision over the use of funds in government-invested projects, with owner units giving priority to cash payment and promoting general contracting units of projects to pay subcontracting units in cash at a proportion not lower than the same proportion. Support large enterprises in replacing accounts payable through loans and bond issuance financing, paying cash promptly to upstream and downstream small and medium-sized enterprises.
The Notice emphasizes that all regions and relevant departments must strengthen work coordination, strengthen upper-and-lower-level linkage, consolidate responsibilities and continue to advance, adhere to combining guidance and correction with law enforcement and accountability, promote an overall improvement in the difficult problem of payment recovery for small and medium-sized enterprises, and foster a sound ecosystem in which large, small, and medium-sized enterprises develop in an integrated manner and achieve mutually beneficial and win-win (互利共赢, hu li gong ying - "mutual benefit, win together") outcomes.

On September 10, a cargo ship at the Beihai Shipyard in Qingdao, Shandong caught fire, causing heavy casualties and a profound lesson. All regions and relevant departments must thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, "thoroughly investigate and rectify various hidden fire hazards, implement and refine preventive measures, and resolutely curb the occurrence of major and extraordinarily serious accidents."
Use a sense of "always being unable to rest easy" to consolidate political responsibility. Every accident is a grave warning, and the chain of safety responsibility must be tightened and secured. Some accidents show that certain regions, enterprises, and units have failed to learn from one instance to grasp others (举一反三, ju yi fan san - "lift one, reflect three"), breaking the chain in whole-chain rectification and leaving gaps in responsibility at every link. It is necessary to show the determination to carry things through to the end, make vigorous efforts to resolve deep-seated contradictions and problems in work safety, and ensure that both symptoms and root causes are addressed.
Use a sense of "having confidence in everything" to embody political execution. Safety is gained by going deep into the front lines. Hidden risks and dangers are mostly hidden in corners and details; only by going to the scene more often, looking more, and checking more can problems be discovered and solved. Engrave risk prevention into one's bones, implant hidden-danger ledgers into one's mind; with a bit more rigor and a bit more meticulousness, the safety of people's lives and property gains a bit more protection.
What guards the myriad household lights and social tranquility, what props up this line of defense, is always the conscientious fulfillment of duty toward "putting the people first, putting life first."

B. R. Deepak, director of the Center for Chinese and Southeast Asian Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University in India, said:"China has rich innovation achievements in fields such as artificial intelligence and green production capacity.

Liu Haixing, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, stated in his keynote speech that in July 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping first proposed the Two Integrations (两个结合), which is the theoretical essence distilled by the Communist Party of China in exploring the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and also another leap in the guiding ideology of the Communist Party of China. Throughout its century-long struggle, the Communist Party of China has always adhered to the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism, continuously advanced theoretical and practical innovation in the Party, continuously transformed its original aspiration of taking root among the people and seeking happiness for the people into perseverance and driving force, and unitedly led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to achieve accomplishments drawing worldwide attention (举世瞩目, ju shi zhu mu - "world, all, gaze, look"). At present, the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, is adhering to the Two Integrations, comprehensively opening up a new phase of Chinese modernization. The Communist Party of China will continue to take deep root in history, take root among the people, and be rooted in the fine traditional Chinese culture, adhere to an open embrace of the world, deepen exchanges and cooperation with political parties and political organizations of various countries, and jointly explore paths of modernization with respective characteristics.
Zhao Yide, Secretary of the CPC Shaanxi Provincial Committee, stated that since the 18th National Congress of the Party, General Secretary Xi Jinping has inspected Shaanxi on multiple occasions, entrusting us with the strategic mission of striving to write a new chapter of Shaanxi in the construction of Chinese modernization. We consciously explore the laws of modernization construction in adhering to the Two Integrations, consciously draw wisdom and strength from the rich red cultural resources and historical cultural resources, and promote new progress and new achievements in various undertakings. Shaanxi will unswervingly forge ahead along the direction indicated by General Secretary Xi Jinping, strive to achieve greater breakthroughs in high-quality development and modernization construction. We sincerely invite all guests to travel around and see more, to experience the myriad manifestations of Chinese modernization through the "Window of Shaanxi," and to share the development opportunities of Chinese modernization.
In the story-sharing session, Party member representatives from grassroots units across Shaanxi, based on their personal experiences, shared vivid stories concerning rural revitalization, high-quality development, protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, ecological civilization construction, Party building, and other aspects
The attending foreign guests warmly congratulated the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, highly appraised the brilliant achievements made by the Communist Party of China in uniting and leading the Chinese people over the past more than a century, and stated that the development of Shaanxi is an example of the Two Integrations leading the successful advancement of Chinese modernization, and that Chinese modernization is one of the most far-reaching development practices in the contemporary world. China's success demonstrates that the powerful vitality of a theory lies in its ability to truly answer the major questions raised by the country, the people, and the era. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era has not only demonstrated significant theoretical value and practical significance in China's development process, but also provided important reference for countries of the Global South in exploring modernization paths suited to their national conditions. They expressed willingness to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning with the Communist Party of China, and jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Return to TopChina is willing to work with BRICS countries to temper the quality of BRICS, demonstrate the strength of BRICS, continuously open up new prospects for the high-quality development of "Greater BRICS Cooperation," and join hands with more Global South countries to jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
At the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Modi, President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, India, from September 12 to 13. The BRICS cooperation mechanism has become the most important platform for solidarity and cooperation among the world's emerging market economies and developing countries today. As a staunch supporter and participant in this mechanism, China's propositions on promoting the high-quality development of "Greater BRICS Cooperation" are highly anticipated by the international community. A "Greater BRICS" with a stronger foundation, greater momentum, and broader influence will play a greater role in safeguarding world peace, promoting common development, and improving global governance.
This summit coincides with the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the BRICS cooperation mechanism. Over the past 20 years, the BRICS cooperation mechanism has evolved from an initial dialogue platform for emerging market economies into an important multilateral mechanism spanning four continents and covering areas such as political security, economic, trade, and financial affairs, as well as people-to-people and cultural exchanges. The BRICS family has continued to grow, its path of cooperation has broadened, and it has increasingly become a core force in the world that upholds peace, promotes development, and defends justice. Looking back on this journey, Chinese wisdom and Chinese strength have run through it all: from proposing the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, cooperation, and win-win outcomes in 2014, to the pioneering proposal of the "BRICS Plus" cooperation model at the Xiamen Summit in 2017; from promoting the historic expansion of BRICS countries, to proposing the concepts of "high-quality Greater BRICS Cooperation" and the vision of "Five BRICS Dimensions" in 2024... President Xi Jinping has put forward a series of major concepts and initiatives, charting the direction for the growth and strengthening of the BRICS mechanism, and leading BRICS to increasingly become a main channel for promoting solidarity and cooperation among Global South countries anda vanguard force for advancing the reform of global governance.
Economic globalization is an unstoppable historical trend. Today's BRICS family has a total population exceeding half of the world's, an economic output accounting for nearly three-tenths of the global total, anda total trade volume accounting for one-fifth of the world's, bringing together a "great treasure trove," a "great factory," anda "great market." Facing the adverse current of protectionism, BRICS countries persist in serving as the "mainstay" for promoting solidarity and cooperation, upholding the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core, advocating an inclusive and beneficial economic globalization, and committing to enabling Global South countries to participate fairly in international cooperation and share in the fruits of development; BRICS countries persist in being pioneers of high-quality development, cultivating new quality productive forces; BRICS countries persist in expanding cooperation in green industries, clean energy, and green minerals, promoting the "greening" of the entire industrial chain.
At present, the world's major transformations unseen in a century are accelerating, regional conflicts continue to drag on, and hegemonism, unilateralism, and protectionism are clamorous and widespread (甚嚣尘上, shen xiao chen shang - "very, noisy, rise, on"). Facing unilateral hegemonic acts, BRICS countries persist in carrying forward the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, cooperation, and win-win outcomes, adhere to extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, firmly uphold the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, and jointly enhance the representation and voice of Global South countries. As an important force with rising influence, BRICS countries, together with relevant Global South countries, have launched the "Friends of Peace" group on the Ukraine crisis, calling on all parties in the Middle East to cease fire as soon as possible, always adhering to the direction of political settlement, and restoring regional peace and stability as early as possible.
To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. The closer the cooperation among BRICS countries, the greater their confidence, the more their methods, and the better their results in responding to external risks and challenges. Promoting the development and strengthening of the "Greater BRICS Cooperation" mechanism can better represent and safeguard the common interests of developing countries. China is committed to deepening practical cooperation with BRICS countries: from advancing the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, to supporting the operation and development of the New Development Bank; from establishing the China-BRICS Center for AI Development and Cooperation and the China-BRICS Research Center for New Quality Productive Forces, to the steady progress of the construction of the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution Innovation Base; from closely guarding against AI risks, to improving governance in emerging fields... A series of practical measures have effectively promoted the deepening and solidification of "Greater BRICS Cooperation."
The vitality of BRICS lies in equality and mutual benefit, and the strength of BRICS lies in solidarity and mutual assistance. Standing at a new historical starting point, China is willing to work with BRICS countries to temper the quality of BRICS, demonstrate the strength of BRICS, continuously open up new prospects for the high-quality development of "Greater BRICS Cooperation," and join hands with more Global South countries to jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

At the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the Republic of India, President Xi Jinping will travel to New Delhi, India, from September 12 to 13 to attend the 18th BRICS Leaders' Meeting. Since 2013, President Xi Jinping has chaired or attended multiple BRICS leaders' meetings and put forward a series of important propositions and initiatives on deepening BRICS cooperation, leading the "Greater BRICS Cooperation" to improve quality and upgrade, and to proceed steadily and far. Next year, China will again serve as the BRICS rotating chair. All parties expect China to pool the collective wisdom and strong synergy of BRICS countries and jointly write a new chapter in the third "Golden Decade" of BRICS cooperation.
Having a far-sighted vision (高瞻远瞩, gao zhan yuan zhu - "high, look, far, see") to chart the blueprint for cooperation
At present, the changes unseen in a century in the world are accelerating, and hegemonism, unilateralism, and protectionism are rumors or harmful trends spreading widely (甚嚣尘上, shen xiao chen shang - "very, clamor, dust, rise"). Looking around the globe, the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to drag on, the Palestine-Israel issue remains unsettled or unresolved (悬而未决, xuan er wei jue - "hang, and, not, decide"), and the Strait of Hormuz is fraught with volatility. The trend of major global adjustment, major division, and major regrouping is becoming increasingly evident. As an important force shaping the international landscape, the world yearns to hear the BRICS voice and expects BRICS cooperation to inject more certainty, stability, and positive energy into the world.
Thought leads the course. At multiple BRICS leaders' meetings, President Xi Jinping, with a far-sighted vision, has discerned the overall trend, made a series of precise judgments on the world situation, and conveyed a powerful and resounding BRICS voice to the world.
Last year, at the BRICS leaders' virtual summit, President Xi Jinping pointed out that individual countries have launched successive trade wars and tariff wars, severely impacting the world economy and seriously undermining international trade rules. At this critical juncture, BRICS countries, as the first echelon of the Global South, must uphold and carry forward the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, jointly defend multilateralism, uphold the multilateral trading system, advance "Greater BRICS Cooperation," and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Two years ago, at the 16th BRICS Leaders' Meeting, President Xi Jinping took a clear and distinct stand (旗帜鲜明, qi zhi xian ming - "flag, banner, bright, clear"), stating that the greater the storms of the times, the more we must bravely ride the tide, and with indomitable willpower (坚韧不拔, jian ren bu ba - "firm, tough, not, pull"), daring to be a pioneer (敢为人先, gan wei ren xian - "dare, for, person, first"), and the wisdom to recognize change and respond to change, forge BRICS into a major channel promoting solidarity and cooperation among the "Global South" and a vanguard force driving reform of global governance.
Ten years ago, at the plenary session of the 8th BRICS Leaders' Meeting, President Xi Jinping positively assessed the fruitful achievements of BRICS cooperation over the past ten years and put forward a five-point initiative: jointly building an open world, jointly outlining a development vision, jointly responding to global challenges, jointly upholding fairness and justice, and jointly deepening partnership.
President Xi Jinping, grasping the trends of world development and the tide of the times, clearing away ideological confusion, pointing out the direction of BRICS cooperation, and continuously injecting momentum and confidence into BRICS cooperation.
Since 2013, at key historical junctures of linking the past with the future (承前启后, cheng qian qi hou - "inherit, before, open, after") and carrying on the past to open up the future (继往开来, ji wang kai lai - "continue, past, open, future") in BRICS cooperation, China has twice served as BRICS chair, charting the blueprint for cooperation with a far-sighted vision, leaving a distinct Chinese imprint on the course of BRICS development.
In September 2017, in Xiamen, Fujian, with its picturesque scenery, BRICS leaders decided to develop a closer, broader, and more comprehensive strategic partnership, build an upgraded version of cooperation driven by the "three wheels" of economic, trade, and financial cooperation, political and security cooperation, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, further promote BRICS cooperation toward institutionalization and substantivization, and depict the beautiful vision of the second "Golden Decade." During the Xiamen Summit, China successfully hosted the Dialogue of Emerging Market and Developing Countries and established the "BRICS Plus" cooperation model.
In 2022, as changes unseen in a century accelerated, human society stood at a critical juncture of deciding which path to take (何去何从, he qu he cong - "where, go, where, follow"). China took over the BRICS chairmanship, hosted more than 170 events across various fields, and drove important progress in BRICS cooperation on multiple fronts. With China's active promotion, BRICS launched a historic expansion process. Since then, the BRICS family has successively welcomed new members and partner countries, ushering in a new era of solidarity and self-strengthening among the Global South.
President Xi Jinping, embracing the great cause of building a community with a shared future for mankind, caring deeply about the development and revitalization of the Global South, and cherishing the solidarity and self-strengthening of BRICS countries, has on multiple occasions at BRICS leaders' meetings and important multilateral forums profoundly expounded the BRICS spirit of "openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation," and incisively summarized three important insights from BRICS cooperation—treating each other as equals and seeking common ground while reserving differences (求同存异, qiu tong cun yi - "seek, same, exist, different"), being pragmatic and innovative with win-win cooperation, and embracing the world with a broad mind while achieving one's own success. This series of important expositions profoundly elucidates the original aspiration and founding mission, development direction, and value pursuit of BRICS cooperation, steers the course of the BRICS mechanism, and leads "Greater BRICS Cooperation" to ride the wind and waves, proceeding steadily and far.
"China has played an important role in pooling the 'BRICS strength'"; "The series of important propositions put forward by China conform to the trend of historical development and meet the practical needs of common development of BRICS countries and other Global South countries"... All parties highly recognize China's leading role in pooling BRICS strength, advancing BRICS cooperation, and promoting the revitalization of the Global South, and unanimously expect President Xi Jinping to work with leaders of various countries to converge the mighty force of BRICS, deepen pragmatic cooperation, continuously enhance the representation and voice of Global South countries in global governance, and sound the powerful melody of the times for"Greater BRICS Cooperation."
Driving BRICS cooperation to shift gears and accelerate
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the BRICS cooperation mechanism. Since its launch in 2006, the BRICS cooperation mechanism has risen from foreign ministers' dialogues to regular summits of leaders, grown from an economic dialogue platform into a comprehensive strategic cooperation mechanism covering a wide range of fields, and has developed into an important cooperation platform for Global South countries.
Since 2013, President Xi Jinping has creatively proposed a series of important propositions and initiatives such as the"BRICS Plus" cooperation model, driving BRICS cooperation to achieve major development and demonstrate major achievements, playing a key role at every critical juncture of the BRICS mechanism.
From the traditional "dual-track parallel" of economic and political-security cooperation, to the "three-wheel drive" of economic, trade, and financial cooperation, political and security cooperation, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and then to putting forward the five major propositions of building a"Peaceful BRICS," "Innovative BRICS," "Green BRICS," "Just BRICS," and "Cultural BRICS," China has continuously driven BRICS cooperation to shift gears and accelerate.
At present, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating and achieving breakthroughs. BRICS countries, based on the major trends of the times, closely focusing on frontier key fields such as intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence, green and low-carbon development, new industrialization, and digital infrastructure, deepen policy coordination, advance standards mutual recognition, strengthen capacity co-building, continuously broaden channels for industrial integration, deeply tap the potential of pragmatic cooperation, and jointly open up a new landscape of mutual benefit, win-win, and common development.
In May this year, the 2026 BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Forum was held in Xiamen. The forum, themed"Co-building an Intelligent Manufacturing Ecosystem Accelerating the New Industrial Revolution Process," attracted representatives from 25 BRICS member states, partner countries, other developing countries, and relevant international organizations. Since the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Innovation Base was established in Xiamen, it has held more than 40"two-way going" events such as"Chinese Enterprises' BRICS Tour" and"BRICS Enterprises' China Tour," conducted more than 90 sessions of online and offline talent training, signed a cumulative total of 138 cooperation projects with investment exceeding 62 billion yuan, and the potential of pragmatic BRICS cooperation is continuously emerging.
In the Benban photovoltaic industrial park in Aswan Province in southern Egypt, rows of photovoltaic panels convert abundant solar resources into precious electricity indispensable to local residents' production and daily life; on the outskirts of the small town of João Câmara in northeastern Brazil, the Gameleira wind power project built by Chinese enterprises can supply approximately 360 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to saving 129,600 tons of standard coal... China supports BRICS countries' renewable energy and low-carbon infrastructure projects, helping BRICS countries embark on a new industrialization path that is efficient and low-carbon.
BRICS countries bring together profound histories and splendid cultures. People-to-people and cultural exchanges are an important component of the BRICS cooperation mechanism, playing an important and unique role. In recent years, people-to-people and cultural exchanges among BRICS countries have been rich and colorful, with film festivals, sports meets, co-produced films and documentaries, and other activities beloved by the people presenting a splendid array, building bridges of people-to-people connectivity. The BRICS Digital Education Cooperation Initiative, the BRICS Media Summit, and the BRICS Seminar on Governance have built diverse platforms for mutual learning among civilizations and people-to-people and cultural exchanges among BRICS countries. Evandro Carvalho, professor at the Federal Fluminense University in Brazil, said that on the BRICS cooperation platform, China actively promotes exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, scientific research, and other fields, and also helps BRICS countries draw wisdom from diverse civilizations to solve practical problems.
China is not only an advocate of BRICS development, but also an action-oriented practitioner promoting BRICS cooperation to proceed steadily and far. Diaa Helmy, secretary-general of the Egyptian Chamber of Commerce, said, "China upholds an open attitude in conducting technological exchanges and sharing experience with other BRICS countries, providing broad cooperation opportunities for the Global South."
Making BRICS contributions to improving global governance
"Change is the nature of heaven and earth." In today's era, the collective rise of emerging markets and developing countries, represented by BRICS countries, is fundamentally reshaping the map of the world.
Over the past 20 years since its establishment, BRICS has continued to grow and strengthen, accounting for nearly half of the world's population, approximately 30% of global economic output, and one-fifth of world trade, gathering a"great treasure trove," "great factory," and "great market," and has become the golden brand and the most important platform for solidarity and cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries in today's world.
The vast number of developing countries are optimistic about the prospects of BRICS and ardently hope that BRICS countries will play a greater role in maintaining world peace, promoting common development, and improving global governance.
In September 2025, BRICS leaders held a virtual summit and conducted in-depth exchanges of views on the current international situation and issues of common concern. President Xi Jinping put forward three suggestions:"uphold multilateralism and safeguard international fairness and justice," "uphold openness and win-win results and maintain the international economic and trade order," and"uphold solidarity and cooperation and pool the synergy for common development," pointing out the direction and injecting strong momentum for opening up a new prospect of high-quality development of"Greater BRICS Cooperation."
In today's international situation, full of change and turmoil, with regional conflicts and turbulence occurring frequently, the global security deficit is growing rather than shrinking. The concept of a"Peaceful BRICS" helps BRICS countries become a stabilizing force in an unstable international environment. From China and Brazil jointly initiating, together with relevant Global South countries, the"Group of Friends for Peace" on the Ukraine crisis, to calling on all parties in the Middle East to cease fire as soon as possible and stop killing, and making unremitting efforts for a comprehensive, just, and lasting settlement of the Palestinian question; from supporting the UN Security Council in convening an emergency meeting on the US military strike against Venezuela, to calling on the United States and Iran to resume dialogue and negotiations as soon as possible and return to the correct track of political settlement, China has consistently opposed the use or threat of use of force in international relations and opposed imposing one country's will on another.
Today's world is a community of shared future in which all prosper together and all suffer together. What the people of all countries yearn for is not a"new Cold War" or"small circles," but a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanliness, and beauty. This is the logic of historical progress and the trend of the times.
The vitality of BRICS lies in equality and mutual benefit, and the strength of BRICS lies in solidarity and mutual assistance. BRICS countries came together based on common pursuits and in response to the global trend toward peace and development. BRICS countries uphold a correct view of the world, history, and the overall situation, carry forward the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation, practice true multilateralism, take the lead in upholding the international system centered on the United Nations, resolutely resist acts that undermine international order and trample international rules, and promote the building of an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.
The reason why the BRICS mechanism can continue to grow stronger and why BRICS cooperation can maintain lasting vitality lies in its embrace of openness and inclusiveness, its goal of win-win cooperation, and its pursuit of fairness and justice. This is fundamentally different in nature from those"small groups" and"small circles" that cling to Cold War mentality and provoke bloc confrontation.
China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, anda defender of the international order. The peace deficit intensifies geopolitical conflicts, the development deficit widens the North-South divide, the security deficit erodes the foundation of mutual trust, and the governance deficit undermines the effectiveness of multilateralism. To resolve the"four deficits," President Xi Jinping has put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, responding to the international community's call for peace, development, cooperation, and justice, promoting the reform and improvement of the global governance system, enhancing the representation and voice of Global South countries, and pooling consensus and strength for building a community with a shared future for mankind.
"Cooperation among BRICS countries is not only a response to the current economic and political landscape, but also an opportunity to shape a fairer and more sustainable future"; "The representativeness of the BRICS cooperation mechanism has further expanded, its influence on the international stage continues to grow, and it has a stronger capacity to advance various global agendas"... The international community positively evaluates the role of BRICS cooperation in global governance and appreciates China's important contributions to the development of the BRICS mechanism.
Under the changes unseen in a century, "Greater BRICS Cooperation" is leading the great unity of the Global South and is producing important and far-reaching historical influence. Having traversed 20 years, BRICS cooperation has increasingly become a backbone force in safeguarding peace, promoting development, and upholding justice in the world. Next year, China will again serve as the BRICS rotating chair. The international community generally believes that, with the joint efforts and promotion of China and BRICS partners, BRICS cooperation, now entering its third"Golden Decade," will be even more substantial in content, stronger in lineup, and louder in voice, and will certainly further promote the common values of BRICS, safeguard the common interests of BRICS, promote the solidarity and self-strengthening of BRICS, and inject strong momentum into achieving an equal and orderly multipolar world anda universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.

On September 10, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences under the theme "Getting Off to a Good Start in the 15th Five-Year Plan Period," introducing the situation regarding the implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan in the financial sector and the promotion of building a financial power.

Meng Huating, Director-General of the Department of Foreign Investment Administration of the Ministry of Commerce, introduced that China's absorption of foreign investment presents five major characteristics: resilience undiminished, momentum turning toward the new, models iterating, deep integration, and endogenous drive. Foreign capital is deeply integrated into local industrial chains and is accelerating its investment toward emerging fields.

The total construction area of the park is approximately 110,000 square meters. Upon full operation, production capacity will increase by 60%, and it will then become Schneider Electric's largest medium-voltage electrical equipment production base globally. While deeply cultivating the Chinese market, it will focus on radiating to overseas markets including countries jointly building the "Belt and Road Initiative."
"The completion of the Xiamen new park is not only a microcosm of Schneider Electric's own industrial manufacturing capability upgrade, but also a practice of ours, rooted in China's fertile ground of innovation, connecting the entire chain of 'R&D—manufacturing—market—service,' and serving the global market with local innovation achievements." Said Gao Feike, Executive Vice President of Schneider Electric globally and Head of Energy Management Business.

"The CIFIT has built an excellent platform for enterprises of the two countries, helping both sides establish connections, explore new opportunities, and achieve tangible results. We will actively promote cooperation in the three major fields of sustainable development, health and well-being, as well as digitalization."
Sharing development opportunities with the world
From large-scale "bringing in," to vigorous "going global," "China remains the world's major cross-border investment destination; at the same time, China plays a playing a decisive or pivotal role (举足轻重, ju ju qing zhong - "lift, foot, heavy, important") in outward investment." Said Zhao Jinping, Vice President of the China Association of Trade in Services. China's two-way investment not only plays a positive role in maintaining the stability of global cross-border direct investment, but also injects strong momentum into promoting regional cooperation, "promoting regional digitalization, greening, and integrated development from the level of international cooperation."

The land-sea corridor tightens the bond, and international industrial chain and supply chain coordination advances in depth and in substance. Since entering Uzbekistan to conduct business in 2016, Xiamen ITG Group Corp., Ltd. has progressed from purchasing cotton yarn, to providing a complete set of customized supply chain solutions covering procurement, distribution, price management, finance, and logistics, and then to investing in and constructing ginning factories, helping the locality enhance its processing and production capacity.

Said Wang Yang, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the Export-Import Bank of China Fujian Branch.
Jointly promoting an inclusive and beneficial economic globalization
At the opening ceremony of this CIFIT, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Adriana Mesarovic specifically mentioned a notable landmark project—the first humanoid robot factory invested in and built by a Chinese enterprise in Europe, which officially started mass production in Sabac, Serbia on August 29. "In the past, cooperation between the two countries focused on railways, highways, bridges, etc.; now we are jointly entering a new stage, stepping into frontier technology fields affecting global economic development such as robotics and automation." Said Adriana Mesarovic.
"China has a saying, 'one string cannot make music' (单弦不成音, dan xian bu cheng yin - "single, string, not, become, sound"), a single tree does not make a forest' (独木不成林, du mu bu cheng lin - "single, wood, not, become, forest"). The information and truth it expresses are very simple: in today's world, where uncertainty is constantly rising, all countries should unite and cooperate." Said Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister of Cambodia and First Vice Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, adding that Cambodia firmly believes that future global investment should be based on openness rather than fragmentation, rely on connectivity rather than isolation and closure, and truly achieve win-win cooperation rather than confrontation and conflict.

"Platforms like the CIFIT are more important than ever." Pedro Manuel Moreno, Acting Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, proposed that today's challenges are not only about mobilizing more capital, but also about connecting capital with quality projects in suitable regions, and improving local production conditions to achieve project implementation. "The CIFIT fully demonstrates that the core of investment promotion lies in building mutual trust, gathering policymakers, investment institutions, and business figures, and converting dialogue and communication into partnerships."
The 2026 Future Investment Conference, held during this CIFIT, took future industries as its specific focus, gathering global policymakers, international organizations, sovereign wealth funds, institutional investors, and representatives from industry, to jointly discuss strategic issues and profound challenges; for the first time, it innovatively established dual guest countries of honor—Finland and Saudi Arabia—as well as dual guest provinces of honor—Guangdong Province and Qinghai Province—deepening the coordinated linkage of domestic and international dual circulation; it highlighted the integrated nature of two-way investment, jointly organizing multiple two-way investment promotion activities with participating countries and regions...

"China is willing to share advanced experience and innovative practices with all parties, helping advance the development process of digitalization, intelligentization, and greening." Said Ling Ji, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy China International Trade Representative.

Recently I came across a piece of news that was quite thought-provoking.
A correspondent stationed in China for Japan's Asahi Shimbun published an essay, mentioning that before he took up his post, people around him often asked: "Running in Beijing — isn't that bad for your health?" The implication was concern about air pollution. But after arriving in Beijing, he insisted on running two or three times a week, and found that most of the time the sky was clear and cloudless. A fellow runner told him with a smile:"That's all a thing of the past."
That phrase, "a thing of the past," handles difficult matters with ease (举重若轻, ju zhong ruo qing - "lift heavy, act light"). After more than 10 years of unremitting effort, blue skies have become the "new normal."
"The 'APEC blue' I declared to the whole world at the Beijing APEC meeting — I have not broken my word; it has been realized." General Secretary Xi Jinping declared.
"Not broken one's word" — Chinese Communists are the most earnest of people; they mean what they say and carry out what they have promised (言出必践, yan chu bi jian - "words, come out, must, practice").
In the new era of China, how many such stories are there!
"In building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, not a single person may be left behind." In 8 years, nearly 100 million rural poor people were all lifted out of poverty — "we have achieved that no ethnic group, no region, and no individual has been left out."
"The Yangtze is the mother river of the Chinese nation; it must be well protected." Jointly pursuing major protection and not pursuing major development, the proportion of Class Ⅰ to Ⅲ water quality in the Yangtze River Economic Belt leapt from 67% in 2015 to 96.5% —"a river of clear water" has reappeared.
"We cannot walk into modernization carrying chamber pots." Last year, as the renovation task for the final more than 14,000 households using "chamber pots" was completed ahead of schedule, this "tough battle" for people's livelihoods, involving more than a million residents, was declared a historic victory.
Turning every "impossible" into "certainly possible" — "the Communist Party of China, when it says it will do something, must do it, and certainly can do it."
It is easier said than done (说易行难, shuo yi xing nan - "speak, easy, act, difficult"). Every time it "says it will do and does it," was not achieved easily, with drums beating and gongs clanging.
Why is the Communist Party of China always able to fulfill its promises?
The answer lies in the superiority of the system. "Our greatest strength is that our socialist system can concentrate resources to accomplish major undertakings. This is an important magic weapon for us to achieve our cause."
How was lifting nearly a hundred million people out of poverty achieved? The entire Party was united as one from top to bottom; Party secretaries at five levels grasped poverty alleviation; provinces, cities, counties, townships, and villages each level signed "military orders"; millions of Party members and cadres bravely shouldered their missions, "never withdrawing troops until complete victory," and truly turned the "military orders" into "report cards."
With the strong leadership of the Party, and with the mighty force gathered from more than 1.4 billion people, there is no goal that cannot be achieved.
The answer lies in the original aspiration of serving the people. "Our Communist Party wholeheartedly (全心全意, quan xin quan yi - "entire, heart, entire, intention") serves the people; when we say we will do something, we must do it."
Laying railways onto the "roof of the world," building expressways into the heart of the Tianshan Mountains, weaving water networks through countless mountains and valleys (千山万壑, qian shan wan he - "thousand, mountains, ten thousand, valleys")… When one does things for the people with single-hearted devotion, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
The answer lies in strong execution. The "chamber pot" renovation — relayed over more than 30 years, advanced household by household with tailored plans — how many hardships! The protection and development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt — thoroughly clearing and rectifying 1,361 illegal docks, standardizing and rectifying more than 200,000 sewage outlets entering the river — how easy was that! Without the perseverance of "hammering in nails" and the courage of "going forward despite overwhelming odds" (虽千万人吾往矣, sui qian wan ren wu wang yi - "although, thousand, ten thousand, people, I, go"), it would have been impossible to gnaw through one "hard bone" after another.
"When doing something, one must do it well and complete it" — "not only grasp strategy, but also take action immediately" (起而行之, qi er xing zhi - "rise up, and, act, it"), practicing with perseverance and without slackening (笃行不怠, du xing bu dai - "steadfast, practice, not, slack"). The secret to getting things done lies in combining good planning with execution — "tightening one link after another, striking one hammer blow after another."
Broadening our horizons, in a world of turbulence and change, "what China has said and promised, it will surely do and surely fulfill" — this even more manifests itself as a precious stability and certainty.
It promised the CIIE would "be held year after year" — and now it has been held for 8 consecutive years, growing ever more splendid; it announced the "dual carbon" goals — and now China has become one of the countries with the fastest decline in energy intensity globally… One "Chinese promise" after another has taken root and sprouted, conveying to the world a credible and tangible Chinese strength.
Whatever has been promised — no matter how high the mountains, how long the road, how great the difficulties — must be realized with making every possible effort (全力以赴, quan li yi fu - "entire, strength, give, to"). Such a "Chinese-style romance" is a blessing for the people and a fortune for the world.

Walking into the practical training classroom of Guizhou Communications Technician College, several students, wearing protective equipment, were practicing spray-painting techniques facing car door panels. Teacher Wang Qing stood to the side giving guidance: "Keep your hand steady, go a bit slower, and maintain the right distance with the spray gun." He stepped forward, gently lifted the student's wrist, and demonstrated the key points of the movement once.
More than 10 years ago, Wang Qing was also a trainee. At that time, he had just come out of the mountains of Shiqian County, Guizhou, working his way up from secondary vocational school to junior college, and through layers of assessment joined the school's skills competition intensive training team, breaking into the national training team for the World Skills Competition. Later, relying on his excellent professional skills, he was recruited by Guizhou Communications Technician College as a practical training instructor.
After the shift in identity, the first difficulty Wang Qing encountered was "knowing how to do it but not knowing how to teach it."
Spraying a door panel himself was no problem. Watching students spray, when their hands trembled, Wang Qing felt anxious inside, wishing he could snatch the spray gun and do it himself."Students ask me, how fast should the gun travel? I say go by feel — but how exactly do you teach 'feel'?" Wang Qing said.
"Being able to do it is muscle memory; being able to teach it is true understanding." Wang Qing forced himself to break down the movements and distill teaching methods. How fast the gun travels, how many centimeters the gun distance is, how much air pressure to adjust — everything was quantified into concrete numbers and operational steps. First explain the principles, then demonstrate the movements, and finally let students follow along and adjust gradually. In class, he also designed fun spraying competitions, making training lively and interesting, fully mobilizing students' enthusiasm for participation.
Because he often mixed freely with the students, everyone called him"Brother Qing." Although Wang Qing was like an elder brother off the training ground, on the training ground he was very strict.
Student Ao Jiangyong came from a rural background and was especially unconfident at first, always worrying he couldn't do well. Practicing spraying gradient colors, he ruined three door panels in a row and sat silently in a corner. Wang Qing crouched down to comfort him:"I ruined more panels back in my day than you have. Don't be afraid — skills are honed through grinding."
Through day after day (日复一日, ri fu yi ri -"day, repeat, one, day") of hard practical training, Ao Jiangyong's skills grew increasingly proficient, and he won the Excellence Award at the First National Vocational Skills Competition and the title of"Western Skills Star," successfully earning selection to the national training team for the World Skills Competition."When accepting media interviews, Ao Jiangyong said, 'I've always remembered Brother Qing's words.' At that moment I felt that being a teacher was worth it." Wang Qing said.
Another student, Zhang Guojun, spoke little but was hardworking and down-to-earth. Others practiced twice; he practiced five times. When the practical training room was locked at night, he would still simulate spraying movements in the corridor and dormitory, holding a stubborn determination inside.
While preparing for the World Skills Competition selection trials, Zhang Guojun was under so much pressure that he suffered insomnia, and during training his hands trembled so much he could not hold the spray gun steady. Wang Qing took him outside the workshop, walking and talking:"Why are your hands trembling — is it fear of not doing well, or fear of disappointing your family?"
Zhang Guojun thought for a moment:"Fear of disappointing my family.""You train harder than anyone; sweat will not let anyone down. Your parents want you to become a better version of yourself, not just to win a champion title." Wang Qing said.
After that round of counsel, Zhang Guojun learned to face pressure squarely, and was twice selected for the national training team for the World Skills Competition. Today, Zhang Guojun has also stepped onto the vocational education lectern, becoming a full-time teacher at a higher vocational college.
"Without the identity of teacher, I would just be a skilled worker who can spray paint. After becoming a teacher, I can help hundreds of children acquire a skill." In Wang Qing's view, vocational education teachers should teach students three things: a set of real skills, a path that can lead somewhere, and an unyielding belief.
Every year when new students enroll, in the first lesson, Wang Qing says the same sentence:"I also came out of vocational school. The fact that I can stand here and teach you now shows that skills can light up dreams."

"What is a card-drawing master?" "Is it a master who draws cards?"
If one understands it only by the literal meaning of the words, that would be wrong.
At the office area of the Fuguang AI (artificial intelligence) company in Jinshui District, Zhengzhou, Henan, the reporter met Liu Kaixuan, a card-drawing master, sitting before a computer.
On the screen, images generated by AI were arranged like cards — close-ups of ancient-costumed characters, dynamic action-scene shots, close-range views with varied expressions. Liu Kaixuan clicked the mouse, selected one, dragged it into the timeline, and waited for the video to be generated.
"A card-drawing master is a new position in the field of AI content creation, mainly responsible for using AI tools to screen high-quality content and generate visual material. The name 'card-drawing master' originates from the randomness of the image-generation results, which is like drawing cards." Liu Kaixuan explained.
AI micro-short dramas have arrived, and the industry's demand for new positions such as card-drawing masters is growing ever larger. The "one-person company" of AI micro-short dramas has also become a new employment pathway. Some people think it has "smashed" the "rice bowls" of real-actor performers; some people, however, have found a new direction for employment. What is the actual situation? Is the AI micro-short-drama "one-person company" a new path for employment or conceptual hype?
Is AI micro-short drama "creating rice bowls" or "smashing rice bowls"?
AI micro-short drama has indeed changed the structure of the industry.
In the first quarter of this year, approximately 128,000 micro-short dramas were launched across the entire industry, with AI micro-short dramas accounting for more than 95%. The expansion of AI micro-short dramas has compressed the market share of real-actor micro-short dramas, and some enterprises are facing the predicament of facing a predicament of running out of resources (断炊, duan cui - "cut off, cooking").
The change in the production mode of micro-short dramas has led to a change in the employment structure, and Liu Kaixuan is precisely one of those in the tide of transformation. He told the reporter that he had previously been an executive director for real-actor live-action shooting. Watching the development direction of the industry shift, he came to the Fuguang AI company and transitioned into a card-drawing master.
What makes Liu Kaixuan grateful is that, although AI has raised the efficiency of many links, every link still requires people to operate, judge, and correct, thus giving birth to a large number of new positions — AI micro-short-drama director, card-drawing master, editor…
In 2025, "generative artificial intelligence animation producer" was listed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security as a new job type, and the card-drawing master is a further refinement of this job type. According to data from a third-party recruitment platform, in June this year, recruitment demand for AI editors grew by 179% year-on-year, while simultaneously driving growth of 7% in traditional editor positions.
At present, Liu Kaixuan's colleagues are mainly divided into two categories — one part is graduates from relevant majors at institutions of higher learning or people who love the film-and-television industry, and the other part is people who have transitioned from the traditional film-and-television industry into AI micro-short dramas. Li Dongjin, head of the Fuguang AI company, has been deeply engaged in this industry for many years, and he said: "The development of AI micro-short dramas has created far more 'new rice bowls' than the 'rice bowls it has smashed.'"
The "one-person company" has arrived — is it a new path for employment or conceptual hype?
In the production chain of AI micro-short dramas, a new employment model is rising — the "one-person company (OPC)."
How does it operate? That is, "individual + AI employees," where an individual uses AI tools to independently complete the entire process from product design to market operation.
How does AI make this model possible?
Li Letong was previously a director at the Muwuren Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. in Jinshui District; last year he was still following a crew of more than 30 people to scout locations and shoot dramas. In February this year, he resigned from the crew, registered and established a "one-person company," and independently produces AI micro-short dramas.
"With the help of AI, one person can also produce micro-short dramas." Li Letong said, "Office freedom, stable order dispatch — the more I work, the smoother things go."
The Fuguang AI company has so far incubated more than a hundred "one-person companies," spread across the country. The Fuguang AI company provides scripts, computing power, distribution, training, and guidance, and the "one-person company" only needs to do the production. "Short-drama companies sign contracts with one-person companies, issue orders, and share revenue; the one-person company is an independent business entity, not a temporary worker." Li Dongjin said.
"AI can only assist production; an individual's creativity, market judgment, and business capability remain very important." Li Letong introduced. Although there is a certain threshold, it has still opened up a new path for employment.
New positions have emerged — have policies and institutions kept up?
In Zhengzhou, the "one-person company" model has received a direct response from policy.
In April this year, the Zhengzhou High-tech Zone issued ten measures supporting the development of the computing-power industry, planning to issue no more than 50 million yuan in computing-power subsidies cumulatively within 3 years. For enterprises (including "one-person companies"), a subsidy of up to 30% is given based on the actual settled amount of computing-power costs, with the same entity receiving a maximum subsidy of 300,000 yuan per year. This is tangible support for individual entrepreneurs in the start-up stage.
In July, Zhengzhou City also printed and issued the "Zhengzhou City Artificial Intelligence OPC Entrepreneurship Community Promotion Plan," constructing a complete promotion system from carrier layout to model promotion, from factor guarantee to ecological cultivation.
The new development of AI micro-short dramas, in addition to policy support, also receives assistance from the integration of industry and education.
In May this year, institutions of higher learning such as Zhengzhou Software Vocational and Technical College found the Fuguang AI company to discuss cooperation, and the two sides reached a consensus around jointly building an "order class" — the company designs artificial-intelligence-generated-content courses and delivers them to the school; students begin to engage with AI micro-short-drama production from their freshman year;the Fuguang AI company assigns commercial orders to sophomores, and the school coordinates juniors to intern at the company.
In addition, the Zhengzhou Employment and Entrepreneurship Service Center has linked up with six institutions of higher learning including Henan University and Zhengzhou University of Aeronautics, conducting special docking forums for the short-drama industry; Riyue Xinyi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. has jointly built an industry-university-research base with Zhengzhou Normal University…
Today's Zhengzhou is building a full-chain employment ecosystem for the micro-short-drama industry. Xu Huabo, head of the Online Audiovisual Division of the Zhengzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism, introduced that Zhengzhou currently has nearly 40,000 micro-short-drama practitioners, of whom young people under the age of 30 account for 70%.
At the end of the interview, Liu Kaixuan received a new work order, and he was busy again before the computer. "A few months ago, I was quite worried because of the impact of AI micro-short dramas, but now things have actually become better." Liu Kaixuan said with a smile, "AI has opened a new door."

Li Zheng, People's Daily commentator
Zhu Min'er, Jiefang Daily commentator
Li Zheng: Today, artificial intelligence technology is iterating rapidly, carrying both enormous opportunities and governance challenges. General Secretary Xi Jinping has proposed "promoting global artificial intelligence to develop in an upward and virtuous direction that benefits mankind," providing value guidance for AI development. Shanghai has already hosted 9 sessions of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, witnessing AI transition from a technological pilot to a governance focal point. What Chinese wisdom can be seen from this?
Zhu Min'er: Today, no one any longer doubts the importance of artificial intelligence, and no one will doubt China's importance to artificial intelligence. When mathematical intelligence turns toward physical intelligence, when machines themselves begin to "think" and "act," governance awareness and action must move forward. From this perspective, General Secretary Xi Jinping's proposal to "jointly build a fair and reasonable global AI governance system" is filled with forward-looking vision and strategic foresight. From the perspective of one's own development, this is a kind of wisdom that takes the long view; from the perspective of global governance, this is a kind of major-power responsibility of working together for the common good of the global community (同球共济, tong qiu gong ji - "same, sphere, together, assist").
Li Zheng: As a new engine for economic growth and an accelerator for the conversion of old and new growth drivers, will artificial intelligence technology widen the gap, or promote inclusive benefit? Using AI to enhance development efficiency requires considering inclusivity issues at the governance level.
Zhu Min'er: The innovation dividend of artificial intelligence is not the exclusive preserve of large enterprises and large institutions, but should be shared by the whole of society. To achieve inclusivity, from the perspective of AI enterprises, open source is an effective path. This will not only lower the cost of AI access, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises and ordinary people to connect conveniently, but will also open up richer and more diverse application scenarios.
Achieving inclusivity depends not only on market adjustment, but also requires effective government governance. For example, Shanghai, by developing producer services, provides small and medium-sized enterprises with precise, meticulous, and highly practical intelligent transformation services; through a municipal-level intelligent computing power coordinated scheduling platform, it implements "use first, pay later" for computing power for scientific intelligence, one-person companies, and others, lowering the cost of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Li Zheng: Facing security threats, ethical conflicts, social risks, false information, and other problems, there is an urgent need to ensure that artificial intelligence always remains under human control. When algorithms participate in decision-making, when technology challenges ethics, it becomes even more necessary to coordinate development and security, to find the correct way of coexistence between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, between humans and machines, so that this thousand-li horse of artificial intelligence both runs fast and runs steadily.
Zhu Min'er: General Secretary Xi Jinping has proposed: "Artificial intelligence should become a trustworthy tool for mankind." In recent years, everyone has been talking about the"awakening" of artificial intelligence, but before the"singularity" arrives, humanity should soberly recognize and prevent in advance all kinds of endogenous and derived risks, fully enjoying the benefits of technological innovation while striving to avoid the disaster of risk spillover.
To create a trustworthy intelligent world, one should first establish the concept of putting people first, being upward and virtuous, that is, no matter how artificial intelligence technology develops, humanity should always be regarded as the purpose, the subject, and the measure of value, ensuring that human dignity is not trampled, privacy is not violated, and retaining humanity's right to choose and decide whether to use AI and to what extent to use it. Specifically, AI enterprises should solve, at the technological source, problems such as the algorithm black box, AI hallucinations, AI"poisoning," while government departments should innovate institutional arrangements, enrich institutional supply, and use rule of law and rules to draw safety boundaries for artificial intelligence.
Li Zheng: Risks have a spillover effect that crosses national borders, so artificial intelligence governance also needs to be viewed within the framework of global governance. Only by practicing genuine multilateralism and extensively carrying out international cooperation can this frontier technology better benefit human society.
Zhu Min'er: China's promotion of building a community with a shared future for mankind and of facilitating tolerance, mutual learning, and mutual appreciation among various civilizations is even more important and urgent today, as the wave of artificial intelligence surges forth. If one indulges in hegemonism, zero-sum games, and civilizational superiority, then not only will it be difficult to form a synergy for global governance, but technological innovation may instead intensify confrontation and fragmentation. Only when countries strengthen the alignment and coordination of AI development strategies, governance rules, and technical standards can they bridge the digital-intelligence divide and achieve working together with one heart and mind (和衷共济, he zhong gong ji - "harmonious, heart, together, assist").
On the same great ship, no one can remain aloof from a situation or stay uninvolved (置身事外, zhi shen shi wai - "place, body, matter, outside"). China's initiative to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization and to provide international public goods in the field of artificial intelligence is a major measure to unite the international community in actively promoting AI development and governance. By both ranking among the world's first echelon in AI technological innovation and demonstrating international influence, shaping power, and leadership in AI governance, China will continuously contribute Chinese solutions and Chinese wisdom to global development in the era of artificial intelligence.
Li Zheng: General Secretary Xi Jinping, focusing on global AI governance, has put forward opinions and propositions from the dimensions of development, security, civilization, and governance, which are highly consistent with the core essence of the four major global initiatives. Viewed from the history of scientific and technological revolutions, fully releasing the productive forces embedded in scientific and technological innovation requires production relations and the superstructure to adapt and adjust in a timely manner. Looking domestically, strengthening institutional innovation and governance optimization is necessary to enable artificial intelligence to proceed steadily and far along a safe track; looking globally, strengthening international cooperation and governance coordination is necessary to enable artificial intelligence to promote common prosperity, safeguard common security, and make it truly become a powerful positive energy that enhances the well-being of all mankind and advances the progress of human civilization.

The younger generation carries the family-and-country sentiment of "using the youth of oneself to create a youthful China," and is no less endowed with the human-community sentiment of "moving toward the future together."
More and more Chinese youth are shining on the world stage, refreshing the perception of people worldwide.
Not long ago, Wang Xingxing, founder of Unitree Robotics, appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the United States together with the manned mech product GD01. A British media outlet, meanwhile, turned its spotlight on Yang Zhiping, founder of Moonshot AI, interpreting from his experience the growing appeal of China's artificial intelligence ecosystem.
Taking a longer view: from Liang Wenfeng, founder of DeepSeek, and Du Mengran, scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, being named to Nature magazine's 2025 Top Ten Science People, to the CR450 high-speed EMU youth development team of China State Railway Group helping the "world's fastest high-speed rail train" lead the world, and then to Wang Hong and Deng Yu winning the Fields Medal, a large number of young Chinese people are emerging as a prominent figure (崭露头角, zhan lu tou jue - "show, emerge, head, appear") at the frontier of innovation, breaking down outsiders' stereotypes.
More than 20 years ago, the "Question of Qian Xuesen" was startling and enlightening (振聋发聩, zhen long fa kui - "shake, deaf, emit, sound"). Today, Chinese youth, with their innovation power of daring to be a pioneer (敢为人先, gan wei ren xian - "dare, be, person, first"), taking on major roles, scaling peaks, and shouldering heavy burdens, are writing a splendid answer to this question.
They refuse to admit defeat, and are brave in advancing into no-man's-land. In the era of big data, the service life of mainstream storage media such as mechanical hard drives and solid-state drives is generally only 5 to 10 years, requiring huge expenditures on data migration every few years. Zhang Jingyu, researcher at the Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics, led the development of glass-based multidimensional optical storage technology, finding a new path to extend the lifespan of data storage. As he himself said, "Innovation that breaks through from zero always requires someone to bravely take on heavy responsibilities (勇挑重担, yong tiao zhong dan - "brave, lift, heavy, burden") and dare to venture into no-man's-land."
They do not believe in superstition, and dare to "wrestle wrists" and compete with established companies on the international stage. Some people say "China cannot build high-end motorcycle engines," but Zhang Xue insisted on doing research and development, fighting to the very end. Not only was the "Zhang Xue motorcycle" built, it also outperformed overseas brands in international competitions, repeatedly winning championships.
With extraordinary talent, they pursue even greater excellence. Climbing peaks bravely at the frontiers of science and technology, and striving for progress with great energy (奋发进取, fen fa jin qu - "exert, send, advance, pursue") at the front lines of industry, one Chinese youth after another carries on the aspirations of their predecessors and opens new chapters for the era, letting youthful China radiate the brilliance of youth.
If looking up at the stars and raising one's head to see the road is a distinctive mark of Chinese youth, then being down-to-earth and practical (脚踏实地, jiao ta shi di - "foot, step, solid, ground") and burying one's head in diligent work is another quality they possess.
Who says young people are impetuous?less? Liu Yaoning, a model railway worker of the new era, is rooted in the front line of freight-car inspection, using a inspection hammer to hone the extraordinary skill of "identifying injuries by sound"; Ciren Mingjiu, a young man from Nagqu, Tibet, was inspired during college by a news report on organic fertilizer, and resolved to "turning waste into something valuable" (变废为宝, bian fei wei bao - "change, waste, become, treasure") the cow and sheep dung seen everywhere on the grasslands. Today, the organic fertilizer he produces has driven income increases for nearly 2,500 herdsman households through its ripple effect.
Who says young people are delicate and fragile? Zhong Yin, born after 1995, amid the skepticism of "having gone to college and still coming back to eat sand," shouldered a shovel and returned to his hometown, leading his team to afforest more than 7,000 mu in total; "squatting doctor" Li Chuangye, self-reliant and hardworking in studying medicine, is rooted in the Gobi Desert, shouldering the mission of a grassroots rural doctor.
They integrate personal ideals into the needs of the nation, shedding restlessness and devoting themselves to growth, tempering solid skills through day-after-day meticulous and careful cultivation (精耕细作, jing geng xi zuo - "meticulous, plow, fine, work"), and quietly shining brightly and contributing greatly (发光发热, fa guang fa re - "emit, light, emit, heat") in ordinary posts, writing extraordinary responsibility to the era.
Today's Chinese youth not only cherish the great cause of family and country in their hearts, but also possess a global vision. They look at the world on an equal footing, take in the whole world, and carry an open, confident demeanor.
They are active on platforms such as the World Youth Development Forum and the World Youth Scientists Summit, sharing innovative achievements and exchanging frontier issues; in fields such as green energy and biomedicine, they join hands with global peers to tackle key problems, deepening Sino-foreign friendship through practical cooperation; in international sports events, they compete amicably, letting the world see their warm, inclusive, and sunny spirit...
Growing together with the country, advancing in step with the era. The younger generation carries the family-and-country sentiment of "using the youth of oneself to create a youthful China," and is no less endowed with the human-community sentiment of "moving toward the future together."
The youth of oneself shapes a youthful China; a youthful China builds a stage for the growth of youth. Here there are opportunities for great achievement: a complete industrial chain, a vast industrial blue ocean, continuously increasing research investment, and an open, inclusive innovation environment, all of which have enriched the fertile soil for displaying one's talents. Here there is also confidence for great accomplishment: "investing in people" has taken root in people's hearts, and talent policies, research support, and living safeguards have been implemented through multiple measures, reducing burdens for youth and propping them up, allowing them to be being completely focused and undistracted (心无旁骛, xin wu pang wu - "heart, without, side, distracted") and fully display their abilities.
Let youth shine, let ideals soar. Chinese youth are growing together with a youthful China.

The ultimate endpoint of undertaking work and starting enterprises is the tangible sense of gain felt by the common people. Over the past two years, through the "translation" of a list, I have come to appreciate this especially deeply.
In 2025, the Office of the Municipal Commission for Public Sector Reform of Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, took the lead in completing the compilation and issuance of the list of items of duties and responsibilities for townships (subdistricts).. What the grassroots level ought to do and what it is capable of doing is immediately obvious and clear (一目了然, yi mu liang ran - "one, eye, clearly, understand"), which both clarifies the boundaries of authority and responsibility and also helps reduce the burden on the grassroots level.
However, a visit to a community made us conceive of the idea of "translating" the list for the common people to see. At that time, a university graduate who had come from elsewhere to seek employment had already been staying in a hotel for half a month before only then learning that the city had a youth talent hostel, and that if he applied and met the conditions he could stay there for free."If only I had known earlier." He smiled shyly, but his words made everyone feel uneasy at heart.
We began to ponder: the list clarifies duties, but it is mostly used by government departments. Why not extend it on this basis and convert it into a "service guide" that is more convenient for the masses to use? For example, the "employment entrepreneurship services" in the list involve multiple departments and are scattered in various places, making them not easy to find. Job seekers often only pay attention to routine matters such as where their archives should be transferred and how their household registration should be settled, and may not necessarily see that the city also provides policies such as free accommodation and rental subsidies. If these could be gathered into a one-stop introduction and guide, allowing them to know both one link and also see the full picture, good policies would not hang suspended in mid-air, but could reach more broadly and land better. Thereupon, we began our first "translation," item by item compiling a first draft covering 10 high-frequency matters.
Soon, we encountered an unexpected situation. When we took the first draft around to solicit opinions, a string of questions left us unable to respond. A woman flipped through the unemployment assistance section and asked directly:"For unemployment insurance claims and skills training, do I qualify for all these policies? Where do I go first to apply?" It turned out that what she wanted was not a listing of policies, but a clear route to obtaining policy benefits. A young man wanting to start a business asked in even greater detail:"What department do I need to find for individual business operation? Are there entrepreneurship preferences? Is training provided? How is best to get started?" What he was paying attention to was not only the handling procedures, but also the associated policy safeguards, and the optimal plan.
Carrying these questions, we reconsidered, starting from the masses' concrete needs, converting "written language" into "the language of the common people," converting "statements of duties" into "paths for handling matters." In discussions, some said the fragmented services should be strung together; some suggested making the text into schematic diagrams, understanding at a glance; some proposed breaking down policy conditions to facilitate understanding... Everyone went to the grassroots during the day to listen to opinions, and met in the evening to revise the guide. In one month, we went to 46 villages(communities) in 10 townships(subdistricts), collecting feedback from more than 600 members of the masses, down to details such as "whether copies of materials are needed."
Through research, we felt even more tangibly that what one studies sitting in an office and what one learns by going down to the grassroots are often not the same. We would not be aware of the masses' confusion at all if we did not come into contact with them. For example, someone asked:"If I want to rebuild my house, do I go to the village first or the town first?" According to our original assumptions, there would be no doubt about these things—just mark it as going to the construction department. This is like a kind of "trap of the known," where we staff members are already too familiar with internal processes, ignoring that the masses may not know what this department is or where to go. But precisely the details of the "last meter" are what the masses care about most. So during the second "translation," wherever we could be direct we did not go around in circles, wherever we could be brief we did not waste words, making it so that the masses could understand clearly as the first priority.
After repeated polishing, in July this year, Zhangjiagang's first batch of "matters beside the masses" service guides were officially released, covering high-frequency matters such as college student employment and childbirth care. The concise version highlights key nodes, with a scan of the QR code for quick lookup; the detailed version is convenient for elderly people to consult by comparison. On the day of release, a young person said after scanning the code:"This is convenient—I can save it in my phone and check it anytime." Also an aunt pointed at the "retirement" page and asked:"Can you give me a copy? I'm retiring next year, I'll take it home and read it slowly." At that moment, we felt truly settled at heart. Only when the common people genuinely recognize it and find it usable is this matter considered properly accomplished.
Two "translations," two shifts in direction: the first shifted from a departmental perspective to a perspective of the masses, the second shifted from a process perspective to a needs perspective. Although institutional establishment work is not at the front window of service, does not directly face the masses, its results ultimately all transmit into the masses' feelings in handling matters. Writing duties clearly is the first step of work, but enabling good policies to walk out of documents and into the hearts of the common people is the ultimate endpoint of work. In serving the masses, we will continue striving for perfection and continuous improvement (精益求精, jing yi qiu jing - "refine, further, seek, excellence").

Recently in Zhejiang, the wave of inbound tourism has spread all the way down to the county towns: foreign faces can be seen everywhere in the film studios of Hengdian, the shops of Yiwu, and the Taihu Lake Dragon Dream Amusement Park in Changxing. They are no longer satisfied with the grand narratives of the big metropolises, but have turned around to "rush to the counties,"(奔县) going deep into the most authentic fabric of China. County tourism, this "dark horse," is galloping with head held high on the track of inbound tourism, becoming a new calling card of "China Travel."
Heat is both an opportunity and a test. Now that the "county-rush fever" has appeared, if the counties cannot catch it, the heat is no more than a gust of wind; if they can catch it, the heat will become a lasting momentum.
"When the counties are well governed, the world is at peace." On the cognitive map of the Chinese people, the county has never been a dispensable corner, but the most ingenious connecting point between the "macro" and the "micro." It is not quite big, not quite small: it forms a self-contained whole, capable of holding the complete logic of a piece of land and water; like opening a window, one can see the vast depth of a country. For foreign tourists, a county is a miniature China, with mountains and waters, with human warmth, with industries, with the hustle and bustle of daily life. Rushing to a county is equivalent to turning open a page of vivid China. This is precisely the deep logic of the "county rush": what tourists want is not a superficial understanding or glimpse (浮光掠影, fu guang lue ying - "floating light, skimming shadows") of "the impression of China," but a "detail of China" that can be touched, lingered in, and savored.
The reason "rushing to the counties" has become a phenomenon is also because it marks a turn of an era. Once, foreign tourists came to China and saw the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Mount Huangshan, and the Yellow River — they saw a China that was "ancient and distant"; now they walk into county towns, seeing the hustle and bustle of the streets, the landscapes and households, seeing a China that is amiable and trustworthy. From "seeing China" to "understanding China," from a superficial visit for the sake of checking a place off a list (到此一游, dao ci yi you - "arrive here, one travel") to "living within it," behind this lies the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength, the quiet expansion of its cultural influence, and a vivid footnote of Chinese modernization taking root and flourishing in the vast counties. Tourism has never been merely tourism; it is a flowing calling card of national image, a vivid language of mutual learning among civilizations.
From "dark horse" to "thousand-li horse," what is needed is not a single burst of overnight fame, but a stamina that carries on leg after leg.
How to catch it? First, by consensus. Elevate "rushing to the counties" from a hot buzzword of the moment into a clear new brand and new growth point of China's cultural tourism. With a concept, there is direction; with direction, there is combined force. Second, by differentiation. Unvarying and monotonous (千篇一律, qian pian yi lu - "thousand pieces, one pattern") is the dead end of cultural tourism, while each appreciating and highlighting their own unique merits (各美其美, ge mei qi mei - "each, beautiful, its, beauty") is the living path for counties. There is no need to copy others' "internet-famous recipe"; one only needs to tell one's own story thoroughly and make one's own flavor fully — being oneself well is the biggest highlight. Third, by culture. Tourism is the shell; culture is the soul. Culture has never been produced by throwing money at it, but by restoration, preservation, and maintenance. Repair an old alley, protect an old bridge, pass down an old handicraft, so that visitors, beyond the landscapes, can also read a city's origins and its onward journey.
"Rushing to the counties" — what one rushes to is the county, what one reads is China. When small towns are no longer merely a dot on the map, but become destinations with stories, with warmth, with experiences, county tourism will have truly run from a "dark horse" into a "thousand-li horse." And if "rushing to the counties" can, unintentionally, become a new window through which the world understands China, then that will be the most precious unexpected blessing of this wave of heat.
Tides rise and tides fall; what can remain is always that sincerity which has been earnestly caught. Using sincerity to fulfill sincerity will let the world see a more real, three-dimensional, and comprehensive China.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: "When the grassroots are strong, the state is strong; when the grassroots are secure, the world is secure. We must do well the foundational work of modernizing grassroots governance." The grassroots are closest to the people, and there the true skill of governance is tested.
In concrete practice, the grassroots often face challenges such as limited resources, varying conditions, and diverse demands. Raising the level of governance cannot rely on piling up resources or spreading out projects; it requires tailoring solutions to specific circumstances (量体裁衣, liang ti cai yi - "measure body, cut clothes") and carefully planning and calculating every detail (精打细算, jing da xi suan - "careful, strike, fine, detailed, calculate"). As one of the central urban districts of Sanya City, Hainan, Tianya District has large population mobility, many tourism-related disputes, and intertwined diverse demands, compounded by the new tasks brought by the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port. It must use precision-minded innovation to mobilize forces from all sides and achieve sustained improvement in governance effectiveness.
Stand on a broad perspective, find the small entry point. Many of the blockages in the "last kilometer" of grassroots governance are often the "mid-stream obstruction" caused by scattered resources and insufficient synergy. The key to breaking through lies in integrating resources, services, and management, pushing them to sink down to the very ends, thereby reducing burdens and empowering the front line of the grassroots.
For example, facing the long-standing problem of unmanaged "three-no" residential communities (no property management, no maintenance funds, no security measures), we chose to start from empowerment rather than rectification, exploring and forming the path of "Party building leadership + state-owned enterprise backstop + affordable services." A district-owned state enterprise established a "Red Property" (红色物业, hongse wuye - "red property management") to provide "backstop" services for old residential communities at public-welfare prices. Intensive operation lowered costs, Party members took the lead in overseeing services, and the "credit-based remuneration system" ensured every cent is spent in the open, effectively resolving the crux that market-oriented property companies were unwilling to come and residents could not trust them. A batch of old communities built nearly 30 years ago have transformed their old appearance into a new one (旧貌换新颜, jiu mao huan xin yan - "old, appearance, exchange, new, face") — streetlights are lit, roads are level, parking spaces are clearly marked, and garbage no longer piles up. Only by locating the coordinate from the macro level and making precise efforts at the micro level can one achieve the effect of one piece falling and the whole board coming alive.
Small matters reveal initiative, details show true quality. Grassroots work rarely involves earth-shaking major events; doing well every small matter around the people is the top priority. Starting from the most realistic, most concrete, and most concerned problems of the people, using a single point to influence the whole situation (以点带面, yi dian dai mian - "use, point, lead, surface") and moving from the superficial to the essential (由表及里, you biao ji li - "from, surface, reach, inside"), advancing step by step, one can often blaze new paths and open up new prospects.
Facing the problem of students addicted to mobile phones, we launched a special action, issued 15 refined governance measures, and built a whole-chain governance system. On the one hand, students are strictly prohibited from bringing phones into the classroom; on the other hand, small shops and after-school care institutions around campus are brought into governance to prevent them from illegally renting out phones. At the same time, special assistance groups were formed, linking teachers, community workers, and psychological counselors, to carry out "one-on-one" psychological counseling, interest companionship, and behavioral correction for students addicted to phones. Starting from managing one mobile phone well, we have both purified the campus atmosphere and reduced parent-child conflicts, drawing a concentric circle of collaborative education among home, school, and community.
Keep an eye on the long cycle, make dynamic micro-adjustments. As the times develop, the demands of the people become more complex and diverse. From elderly care and childcare to medical care and rehabilitation, all require promoting the flow of various resources and services, achieving precise matching through dynamic adjustment, and accumulating the strength for overall improvement through "small steps and quick runs."
The noise disturbance caused by square dancing is an old problem in urban governance. We did not simply adopt rigid control measures such as "banning dancing" or "expelling dancers," but rather introduced "directional speaker" technology to confine the sound within a specific activity area, preventing it from spreading outward—this both safeguards the people's need for leisure and fitness and minimizes interference with surrounding residents to the greatest extent. By innovating governance approaches, skillfully leveraging technology, and balancing different demands, even long-standing difficult problems can be resolved flexibly and softly.
Optimizing grassroots governance means showing skill, attitude, and spirit in the smallest details. In the face of constantly emerging new business forms, new groups, and new demands, we must normalize the promotion of "micro-innovations," solidly handle the matters around the people, the matters close to their hearts, and the concrete matters, extract from "solving one problem" the mechanism for "responding to one category of needs," accumulate from "handling one practical matter well" the experience of "opening up one path," so that we can cultivate a solid foundation of good governance in the everyday bustle of life and continuously enhance the well-being of the people amid the development of the times.

The red flags fluttered in the wind, and the ranks stood ready to set out. Mothers saw off their sons, wives saw off their husbands — a thousand reluctant partings turned into earnest words of advice. The bugle sounded, and the soldiers turned and marched into the distance… On the afternoon of September 9, walking into Fenglong Village, Yunshishi Township, Ruijin City, Jiangxi, one heard the melodious strains of the song "Seeing Off the Red Army Ten Times" drifting over. On the small square, the situational drama "Seeing Off the Red Army" was being performed. On the display boards near the square were recorded the circumstances of the departure on the Long March in 1934.
Back then, Fenglong Village had about 500 villagers in total, of whom 150 threw themselves into the revolution and joined the Long March — the vast majority of them leaving their hometown and never returning (一别故土, yi bie gu tu - "one, part; old, land").
In May 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Jiangxi: "Once the flame of ideals and convictions is lit, it will never go out."
The flames of war have receded into the distance, but the monument endures. The cadres and masses of Fenglong Village bear his instructions in mind and guard with all their hearts the red roots of the revolution.
In front of the village committee stands a striking wall of red stone, upon which are engraved the words"Red Granary — Supporting Ten Thousand Li." "On the eve of the Long March, the villagers actively expanded the Red Army ranks and supported the front, raising grain and funds to support the Red Army…" Village Party General Branch Secretary Liang Boqing told visitors with emotion.
In 2020, Ruijin carried out a"major excavation, major stocktaking, and major protection" of the city's red resources, and through such means as visiting descendants of Red Army soldiers, field investigations, and combing through historical materials, comprehensively ascertained the full inventory of its red resources.
The Liang brothers vied with each other to sign up for the Red Army; Chen Tanqiu presented a tin trunk in gratitude for a kindness received… Stepping into the village history museum, more than 20 newly excavated red stories were presented to visitors in a variety of forms. On the shelving units, copies of small booklets on Fenglong Village's red stories lay neatly arranged.
Exhibits make history visible; storytelling gives memory a voice. In 2021, Fenglong Village organized a red culture explanation team, setting up its explanation positions at old sites and former residences, in the fields, and at evening-talk venues. "The team members collectively wrote and polished the explanation scripts, using plain and accessible language to bring the stories of the Long March into everyone's hearts." Liang Boqing said. To date, the explanation team has carried out nearly 400 sessions of publicity, cumulatively serving more than 40,000 person-times.
Use the red to promote tourism; use tourism to invigorate agriculture. In 2022, the village's two committees proposed that, relying on its abundant red resources, it should develop red tourism and study tours, complementarily building such diversified business forms as homestay economy and fruit-and-vegetable picking, converting the cultural-resource advantage of the Long March into a developmental advantage for comprehensive rural revitalization.
Taro soup, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, chili peppers and carrots… Inside the "Spark That Can Start a Great Fire" farmhouse restaurant, some visitors were busy lighting fires and cooking. When this reporter drew near for a look, each dish was fresh and light, but not a trace of meat was to be seen.
"What they are making is a'Long March meal' — back then, when the Red Army was stationed in the village, it ate dishes just like these." Farmhouse restaurant owner Liang Beifang introduced. That day, a red-training team of nearly a hundred people from Beijing and Tianjin was here retracing the Long March route.
Walk a stretch of the Long March route, cook a Red Army meal, weave a pair of straw sandals — Fenglong Village has built a"Three Ones" red cultural tourism experience brand, pushing red tourism to shift from the static sightseeing of "just looking" to immersive personal experience, so that the spirit of the Long March is being passed down from generation to generation (代代相传, dai dai xiang chuan - "generation, generation, mutually, pass down") through what can be felt and experienced.
"Today my legs are sore from walking and my hands are rubbed raw, but for the first time I have gained a personal understanding of the great spirit of the Long March. We must not forget the martyrs who endured hardships." Trainee Chen Haoyu said.
With industry activated, days are thriving. In 2025, Fenglong Village received nearly 20,000 visitor-and-study-trainee trips, with its various business forms generating revenue of 630,000 yuan; villagers' per-capita disposable income grew from 16,000 yuan five years ago to more than 22,000 yuan.

The "Tiangong Classroom · Hong Kong and Macao Special Session" space lecture activity was held simultaneously in Hong Kong and Macao on the 9th. Zhu Yangzhu, commander of the Shenzhou-23 astronaut crew currently executing missions aboard China's space station, astronaut Zhang Zhiyuan, and Hong Kong's first payload specialist Li Jiaying, through real-time connection between heaven and earth, brought a vivid and interesting space science popularization lesson to young people of Hong Kong and Macao.
This "interaction between heaven and earth" sparked widespread attention and enthusiastic response in Hong Kong and Macao. People from all walks of life generally believe that the space lecture not only once again ignited the scientific enthusiasm of young people in Hong Kong and Macao, but also inspired their feelings of family and country, fully reflecting that under "One Country, Two Systems," compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao are deeply integrating into the nation's space endeavor, sharing the glory of development with the motherland.
Igniting Scientific Enthusiasm
The collision of the vast starry sky with the classroom has deeply planted the seed of science that explores the unknown in the hearts of young people in Hong Kong and Macao. "This classroom brought me great shock." Chen Jinglin, a student of Hong Kong's SKH Bishop Mok Sau Tseng Secondary School who participated in the activity on site, said that being able to converse instantly with astronauts and seeing so many advanced technological devices inside the "Tiangong" made him feel very proud of the nation's aerospace scientific and technological achievements. "Seeing a lot of knowledge that is usually only in textbooks actually applied in aerospace, I feel very excited." Hong Yuxi, a student of Macao's Hou Kong Middle School, said.
The governments of the Hong Kong SAR and the Macao SAR organized teachers and students of primary and secondary schools in both places to watch the live broadcast simultaneously on campus. Gao Songjie, vice chairman of the Hong Kong Elite Association, said that during the "Tiangong Classroom" live broadcast, many young people in Hong Kong and Macao swamped social media with posts, and Li Jiaying introduced life aboard the space station in Cantonese, making young people feel that the aerospace dream had changed from "their matter" into "our matter," and seeing the possibility of participating in the nation's frontier endeavors.
"Watching the three space teachers doing scientific experiments amid the vast galaxy, I truly felt that space is actually not that far away from us." Zhang Xinyu, a student of Macao's Pei Zheng Middle School, said after watching the live broadcast.
Lin Yi, a teacher at Macao's Hou Kong Middle School, said that what touched her most was the content related to renewable energy. As a Macao teacher, in the future she will integrate more science popularization content into the classroom, guiding students to understand high-tech and aerospace knowledge.
Guo Yike, chief vice president of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, believes that Hong Kong's commitment to developing into an international innovation and technology hub must start with the younger generation. The greatest value of the "Tiangong Classroom" lies in enabling children to understand science, fall in love with science, and sustain this curiosity and enthusiasm, thereby reserving for Hong Kong's future innovation and technology development truly passionate and visionary young talent.
Cultivating Deep Feelings of Family and Country
This vivid "Tiangong Classroom" not only showcased frontier technology, but also, through the dialogue between heaven and earth, enabled people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and Macao, especially young people, to profoundly feel the pulse of the era of sharing the same fate and destiny (同呼吸、共命运, tong hu xi, gong ming yun - "same, breathe; together, destiny") with the motherland.
Guo Furong, member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong SAR, said that the nation bringing such a heavyweight opportunity for interaction between heaven and earth to Hong Kong is not merely science popularization education, but also an emotional bond, anda highly educational lesson in patriotism.
Zhuang Zixiang, member of the CPPCC National Committee and chairman of the foundation of the Hong Kong Celebration Committee of All Sectors, said that what the "Tiangong Classroom" demonstrates is the hard-core strength of China's manned space program, and moreover, under "One Country, Two Systems," a powerful voice of the era of Hong Kong sharing the same fate and destiny with the motherland; Hong Kong's and Macao's scientific research forces have already leapt from "witnesses" to "fellow travelers."
Ge Peifan, vice chairwoman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, also believes that the "Tiangong Classroom" is an extremely impactful lesson in science popularization and patriotic education, capable of stimulating young people's interest in science, enhancing their scientific literacy, while also strengthening their national identity. This is not only the first time Hong Kong astronauts participated in teaching aboard the national space station, but also fully reflects that under "One Country, Two Systems," Hong Kong compatriots can deeply integrate into the nation's aerospace endeavor and share the glory of scientific and technological development.
Wong Chi Cho, director of the Macao Chinese New Youth Association, said that the "Tiangong Classroom" not only showcased aerospace achievements, but also, through segments such as "Letters from Hong Kong and Macao," deepened emotional resonance, enabling young people to profoundly feel the motherland's care for Hong Kong and Macao, enhancing their national pride and identification with the nation's development.
Writing a New Chapter of Youth Answers
The vast national aerospace endeavor is opening its arms to young people of Hong Kong and Macao, calling on them to strive to integrate into and serve the nation's overall development situation, writing a brand-new chapter of youth answers.
Li Jiachao, chief executive of the Hong Kong SAR, said that he hopes the younger generation can take the astronauts as role models, strive to equip themselves, dare to pursue their dreams, and use their wisdom and sweat to serve the nation in building a space power, creating splendid chapters for the Chinese nation.
"With so many students watching the 'Tiangong Classroom,' it is evident that the activity has special appeal for young people." Chen Yuantong, an additional member of the Youth Cohesion Action Group under the Hong Kong Youth Development Commission, saidthat this space lesson spanning heaven and earth is of great significance to students, and will sow the seed of space dreams in the hearts of more Hong Kong students, igniting their interest in different fields such as space, technology, and artificial intelligence.
Wu Fanlan, a teacher at Macao's Keng Wu Middle School, said: "The astronauts showed us what aerospace work is actually like now, how far China's aerospace development has come, and what parts Hong Kong and Macao have participated in within the nation's aerospace endeavor. I hope that in the future, students will also have the opportunity to participate in the aerospace endeavor."
"A dream is not just about thinking about it; it takes bit by bit of effort. I will keep this feeling of inspiration in my heart, study hard, boldly advance toward my own goals, and strive to be a responsible youth." Zhang Xinyu made this promise.
Guo Furong said that she looks forward to more Hong Kong scientific researchers and young people enthusiastically joining the ranks of innovation and technology in the future; as long as Hong Kong makes good use of its strengths and proactively aligns with national strategies, it will certainly make greater contributions in integrating into and serving the nation's overall development situation.
Zhuang Zixiang saidthat it is precisely the unique opportunity endowed by "One Country, Two Systems" upon Hong Kong that enables Hong Kong's young people to stand firm on local soil while looking toward the whole nation. Currently, Hong Kong is at a critical period of transitioning from governance to prosperity, and he hopes that Hong Kong's young people will proactively integrate their personal youthful ideals into and serve the nation's overall development situation, writing splendid chapters belonging to Hong Kong's youth on the new journey of the motherland's building a technological power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
"Today, we are proud of Li Jiaying; tomorrow, we look forward to more young people from Hong Kong, Macao, and from all walks of life, becoming bridges and bonds connecting Hong Kong with the motherland and reaching out to the world." Rong Sihan, chairman of the seventh executive committee of the Hong Kong CPPCC Youth Federation, saidthat as long as young people of Hong Kong and Macao cherish their family and country in their hearts and keep their feet on the ground, they will certainly be able to strive and achieve in the vast expanse of the nation's development.

All levels of the entire military conscientiously and solidly raise ideological understanding, rectify prominent problems, and establish sound systems and rules, persist in producing political achievements for the people, producing political achievements through practical work, persist in taking initiative and responsibility (担当作为, dan dang zuo wei -"undertake responsibility, act") with a correct view of political achievements, performing one's duties and responsibilities (履职尽责, lv zhi jin ze -"fulfill duties, discharge responsibilities"), gathering the mighty force for advancing high-quality development of national defense and the military. Party organizations at all levels and the broad ranks of Party members and cadres have undergone concentrated ideological tempering, Party spirit forging, and practical training, their ideological consciousness and action consciousness of establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements have markedly improved, the ideological foundation of loyalty to the Party and obedience to the Party's command has been further consolidated, the mission consciousness of genuine combat readiness and striving to build a strong military has been further strengthened, the political responsibility for governing the Party and the military and purifying the political ecosystem has become more tightly bound, they have more deeply comprehended the decisive significance of the Two Establishments (两个确立), enhanced the Four Consciousnesses (四个意识), strengthened the Four Confidences (四个自信), achieved the Two Upholds (两个维护), and implemented the system of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission assuming responsibility.
Strengthening theoretical armed forces to strengthen the foundation and basic principles (固本培元, gu ben pei yuan -"strengthen the foundation, nourish the origin")
——Consolidating the ideological foundation for establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements
"All things that obtain their root will flourish; all undertakings that obtain their way will succeed." Establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements cannot for a single moment be separated from the nourishment and guidance of the Party's innovative theory. Only when a correct view of political achievements is firmly established ideologically can it be resolutely practiced in action.
Since the launch of the study and education, the CMC Joint Operations Command Center, each theater command, each service and branch, each department of the CMC organs, each directly affiliated organ of the CMC, each directly affiliated unit of the CMC, and the Armed Police Force have focused on resolving the root ideological problems of ideals and convictions, Party spirit cultivation, and official morality and personal character, persisted unremittingly in using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to unify thoughts and strengthen convictions (凝心铸魂, ning xin zhu hun -"condense hearts, cast souls"), threaded the study and comprehension of Chairman Xi's important discourses on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements through the entire process of study and education, deeply studied and implemented Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building and Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Military, made determined efforts to resolve the questions of for whom political achievements are established, what kind of political achievements are established, and what political achievements rely on to be established, thereby strengthening the ideological consciousness and action consciousness of establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements.

All levels of the entire military have used "Excerpts from Xi Jinping's Discourses on Establishing and Practicing a Correct View of Political Achievements" and "Xi Jinping on Strengthening the Military and Revitalizing the Military" as basic teaching materials, taken "Selected Works of Xi Jinping on Party Building", "Excerpts from Xi Jinping's Discourses on Grassroots Work Methods", and"Study Reader on Xi Jinping's Important Discourses on Grassroots Work Methods" as important study content, connected these with deep study of Chairman Xi's vivid practices of advocating and practicing a correct view of political achievements guiding the development of the Party's and the nation's undertakings, and Chairman Xi's vivid practices of adhering to a correct view of political achievements during his local work period, integrated these with deep study and implementation of the spirit of Chairman Xi's important speech at the celebration meeting of the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of his important speech at the opening ceremony of the training class for senior cadres of the entire military, organized Party members and cadres to make efforts in comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth study and comprehension, deeply comprehending the great significance, essential essence, and practical requirements.
One by one, original works were studied to comprehend the power of thought; one by one, counseling lectures interpreted essential essences; one by one, thematic seminars strengthened introspection and transformation... A certain brigade of the Army seriously organized the reading of original works, study of original texts, and comprehension of original principles, effectively deriving patterns, clarifying directions, learning methods, and increasing wisdom from them, consciously benchmarking against them, internalizing them in the heart and manifesting them in action. A certain base of the Navy, combining study at the theoretical study center group meetings of Party committees and cadre theoretical rotation training, organized Party members and cadres to deeply study and comprehend the connotation and essence of the "Fourteen Commitments" of Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building, with members of Party committee leading bodies using their own study results to carry out thematic seminar exchanges. All levels have generally persisted in studying with feeling, studying with thinking, studying with mission, linking online and offline, interacting inside and outside the classroom, promoting theoretical study to go deeper and more practical, entering the mind and the heart.
Conducting in-depth discussion and analysis to uphold what is right and correct what is wrong——
All levels, centering on realistic questions such as what one joins the Party for, what one serves as a soldier for, and what one serves as a general for, have strengthened discrimination between right and wrong, guided Party members and cadres to connect the Party's historical mission, the military's mission and tasks, and their own responsibilities in thinking, forging, and introspection, to place themselves in, place their duties in, place their work in, to seek gaps, trace roots, and strengthen cultivation from the perspective of Party spirit.
Examination and analysis made faces red and foreheads sweat, directly pointing at problems; warning education used cases as mirrors, serving as deterrents and warnings. A certain regiment of the Air Force aviation, comparing specific persons, specific matters, and specific problems, highlighting "what the poisonous legacy and accumulated malpractices are, where the roots lie, and what to do henceforth", conducted in-depth discussion and analysis, with everyone expressing their understanding and exposing their thinking, examining by level problems such as impure motives for performing duties, improper use of power as officials, and unrealistic work styles. Focusing on"how to restore and carry forward the fine traditions of our Party and our military, returning to the true colors of revolutionary soldiers", the Party committee of a certain unit of the Armed Police Force adopted methods such as thematic analysis and stratified discussion to deepen ideological cleansing, removing ideological impurities from the depths of the soul, and turning right what had been inverted and distorted.
Drawing lessons from positive and negative typical cases through education——
After the advanced deeds of Wang Ji, researcher at the Computer College of the National University of Defense Technology and"Role Model of the Times", were widely reported, they aroused warm repercussions throughout the entire military. The broad ranks of officers and soldiers generally reflected that Wang Ji's course of struggle of loyal service to the country and unswerving commitment to strengthening the military was a heroic hymn that shook the heart and inspired people to forge ahead, a vivid teaching material for establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, and that they should take him as an example, strive at their posts and forge ahead in struggle.
All levels have studied and used well the positive and negative typical cases compiled at the central and whole-military levels, strengthened exemplary guidance and negative warnings, both learning the correct view of political achievements embodied in positive models, emulating the exemplary and virtuous (见贤思齐, jian xian si qi -"see the worthy, think of emulating") against advanced examples, and connecting with various case notifications, confessions of those who violated discipline and law, and typical cases in their own units and fields to carry out warning education, warning and admonishing Party members and cadres to know when to stop and feel shame (知止知耻, zhi zhi zhi chi -"know when to stop, know shame"), always engaging in entrepreneurial activities and work (干事创业, gan shi chuang ye -"do things, start an enterprise") with a correct view of political achievements.
A certain college of the National University of Defense Technology organized serious study of the advanced deeds and lofty spirit of the winners of the"July 1 Medal" and the commended targets of the national and whole-military"Two Excellences, One Advanced" commendations, inspiring all levels to comprehend and practice a correct view of political achievements. A certain unit of the Military Aerospace Forces used negative typical cases at different levels and of different types, guiding Party members and cadres to deeply analyze the root causes and crux of deviations in the view of political achievements, examining and clearing the poisonous legacy contamination behind problems.
Truth is like a torch, illuminating the road ahead; Party spirit is like a rock, anchoring the coordinate values. The broad ranks of Party members and cadres, in ideological tempering, have honed their original aspiration and founding mission, consolidated their Party spirit foundation, and further grasped the"golden key" and"compass" for establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements.
Implementing training requirements to examine and analyze
——Focusing on deeply excavating problems of deviation and dislocation in the view of political achievements
Problems are the voice of the times, and also the orientation of work.
All levels, benchmarking against Chairman Xi's important discourses on establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, benchmarking against the key problems to be resolved in the study and education, benchmarking against problems fed back by discipline inspection and supervision, inspections and tours, audit supervision, etc., have carried forward the spirit of self-revolution, focused on deeply excavating problems of deviation and dislocation in the view of political achievements, and deeply analyzed the root causes and crux of these problems.
Establishing firm problem targets and conducting genuine examination with meticulous comparison——
All levels, centering on the problem targets clarified by the entire military and refined at their own levels, have conducted"benchmarking" against the requirements of the Party Central Committee, used the Party Constitution and Party regulations to"scan", used the expectations of officers and soldiers to"see through", persisted in combining personal examination with organizational examination, higher-level supervision with lower-level self-examination, comprehensively sorted out and refined to form a list of problems of deviation in the view of political achievements, persisted in examining and rectifying whatever problems exist, focusing on solving whatever problems are most prominent.
Does the project topic conform to battlefield needs? Is the research process closely aligned with actual combat? Do scientific research results help enhance combat effectiveness? A certain research institute of the Academy of Military Sciences conducted reflective analysis on whether research results can keep up with actual combat needs, guiding scientific researchers to examine and correct deviations in the view of political achievements, promoting military scientific research to focus more closely on building the combat effectiveness of troops. In response to the situation where a small number of Party members and cadres"fear taking responsibility" when facing difficult problems and"take a detour" when facing the demands of officers and soldiers, a certain detachment of the Armed Police Force conducted reflective analysis around"doing more leads to more mistakes, doing less leads to fewer mistakes, doing nothing leads to no mistakes", making determined efforts to examine and rectify ideological deviations incompatible with their duties and missions.
Following the mass line and soliciting opinions with an open door——
The voices, expectations, and aspirations of officers and soldiers are precisely the focus of finding and solving problems. All levels have followed the Party's mass line in the new era, through multiple online and offline channels, proactively sought advice and needs from officers and soldiers, examining problems that"manifest below but have roots above".
All levels have listened to the heartfelt words of officers and soldiers in"truly opening the door", reflecting on problems of deviation in the view of political achievements against this backdrop. Departments of the CMC organs, by sorting out and answering problems reflected by officers and soldiers on the military strength network, have reflected on deficiencies and weaknesses in routine policy guidance and normalized service to solve difficulties. The Party committee and organs of a certain group army of the Army, combining inspection and supervision with listening to opinions from grassroots units, have examined problems such as vain and fussy guidance for building grassroots units and layers of added burdens. The Party committee of a certain detachment of the Navy held a forum for grassroots officers and soldiers, collected messages and replies from online mailboxes, understood and grasped the concerns and expectations of officers and soldiers, and reflected on deviations and dislocations in work guidance.
Persisting in strictness at the top driving examination and analysis at lower levels——
Leading organs take the lead, persisting in turning the blade inward to conduct in-depth examination of problems. High-level Party committee organs, by holding special organizational life meetings, conducting reflective analysis, etc., have examined problems in commanding and guiding construction, in"new officials not settling old accounts", in grasping grassroots and building foundations, deeply excavated poisonous legacy contamination in the view of political achievements, driving Party organizations at all levels and the broad ranks of Party members and cadres to genuinely examine problems and deeply examine problems.
Behind the problems, those political achievement impulses of seeking quick success and instant benefits, boasting and loving grandeur, those subjectivist tendencies of disregarding science and disregarding laws, those erroneous thoughts of not daring to struggle and not willing to bear responsibility have been examined out and exposed... The Party committee of a certain unit of the Cyberspace Force used well the weapon of criticism and self-criticism, conscientiously examining gaps and deficiencies such as insufficient performance of duties and responsibilities and insufficient quality and efficiency in work implementation. Leaders of a certain center of the Information Support Force went separately deep into the grassroots, jointly held"problem-exposing meetings" with officers and soldiers, jointly identifying problems such as work advancement not being closely aligned with actual combat and difficult problems not being sufficiently resolved.
The deeper problems are examined, the more solid rectification will be grasped. All levels, with an attitude of self-reflection and deeply excavating roots, have strictly examined and analyzed, neither downplaying, avoiding, nor covering up problems, seeing persons, seeing matters, seeing thoughts, and with the courage of self-dissection have examined clearly and identified accurately problems of deviation in the view of political achievements.
Persisting in confronting real problems with real action and strictly grasping rectification
——Promoting problem rectification and remediation to take effect and produce results
Solving prominent problems of deviation in the view of political achievements is the key to achieving tangible results in the study and education. Only by unswervingly grasping rectification and remediation can officers and soldiers feel and perceive the results of the study and education.
All levels of the entire military have persisted in coordinating the rectification of problems found in the study and education with rectification and remediation in various fields, consciously adopting an attitude of not waiting, not relying, and rectifying immediately, grasping rectification with the tenacity and perseverance of thorough correction, letting officers and soldiers truly feel the new atmosphere and new changes brought by the study and education. At the whole-military level, five supervision groups have been successively dispatched to carry out two rounds of inspection and supervision, Party committees at and above the regimental level have generally done a good job of routine supervision, transmitting pressure layer by layer, strictly correcting deviations and guiding toward the right, persisting in working together on the same problem and promoting problem rectification.
Keeping a close eye on the problem list and conducting genuine rectification——
Rectification and remediation value prompt correction upon awareness and immediate correction upon action. Party committees at and above the regimental level and leading cadres, benchmarking against the problem list, have formulated rectification measures that are operable, time-bound, and responsibility-clarified, established a mechanism of listing accounts and canceling accounts upon completion, rectifying item by item without waiting or relying, and for prominent problems of deviation in the view of political achievements requiring long-term rectification, keeping a close eye on them and tracking their effectiveness.
During the study and education, all levels have focused their efforts on problems urgently needed for combat, urgently needed for construction, and urgently expected by officers and soldiers, starting from solving each specific problem and doing each specific thing well, strictly rectifying and correcting, promoting problem rectification to take effect and produce results. The Party committee of a certain combined arms brigade of the Army concentrated its efforts on tackling key problems, keeping a close eye on shortcomings restricting combat capability construction, refining plans and schemes, improving coordination mechanisms, strengthening exercises and training, promoting the improvement of combat effectiveness construction.
Party committees at and above the regimental level have persisted in linking upper and lower levels, concentrated on rectifying the prominent problem of"new officials not settling old accounts", proactively acknowledging accounts without shifting blame, accurately managing accounts without being perfunctory, closing accounts in a closed loop without delay. The Party committee of a certain unit of the Rocket Force established a tackling mechanism of"standing committee members taking the lead, list-based account cancellation", implemented dynamic management of"one plan per person, one strategy per matter", coordinated solving"long-standing difficult" problems of officers and soldiers such as medical treatment, housing, and involvement in litigation and lawsuits.
Coordinating rectification and remediation to exert force in the same direction——
Strengthening systematic thinking, coordinating and advancing rectification. Persisting in grasping rectification together with rectification and remediation in various fields, establishing one ledger, advancing rectification in an integrated manner, winning the trust of officers and soldiers through genuine and solid rectification.
Keeping a close eye on key fields such as concentrated power, dense funds, and abundant resources, strictly grasping and strictly governing, intensifying efforts to investigate corruption and misconduct simultaneously, driving the elimination of hidden rules and accumulated malpractices in various fields, correcting stubborn diseases and chronic ailments in the view of political achievements. A certain unit of the Air Force focused on strengthening supervision over major projects, preventing and correcting problems such as crude and wasteful practices, low quality and low efficiency, ensuring quality is guaranteed, capability is guaranteed, and integrity is guaranteed. A certain hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force, from consumables management to diagnosis and treatment processes and service attitudes, screened item by item, using opportunities such as rectification promotion meetings and office meetings to analyze situations and break through bottlenecks.
Following up with establishing systems and institutions and governing systematically——
Institutions govern the fundamental and the long-term. All levels have persisted in combining"immediate correction" with"long-term establishment", in examining and rectifying problems, analyzed and reflected on the nature, harm, causes, lessons, and costs of deviations in the view of political achievements, comprehensively sorted out deficiencies, shortcomings, and weaknesses in systems and mechanisms, improved systems and rules, vigorously grasped the implementation of systems, enhancing system governance effectiveness through regularization and institutionalization.
Establishing a long-term mechanism for establishing and practicing a correct view of political achievements, strengthening institutional guarantees for preventing and correcting deviations in the view of political achievements. Issuing several measures for strengthening education, management, and supervision of senior military cadres, strengthening supervision over the exercise of power in performing duties. Following up on improving systems and mechanisms in areas such as combat training, logistics support, equipment research, assessment and evaluation, military-civilian exchanges, and transparent conscription, continuously preventing and correcting problems of deviation in the view of political achievements. Solidly carrying out the cleanup of military laws and regulations, promoting the work of establishing, amending, abolishing, and interpreting regulatory documents.
Rectifying one place, standardizing one area, governing one domain. From immediate correction to establishing systems, from individual case resolution to systematic governance, effectively transforming institutional rules into rigid constraints, guiding all levels to clearly understand what can be done, what cannot be done, and how things should be done, consciously establishing a correct view of political achievements in thought and practicing it in action.
Emphasizing applying what is learned and taking practical and effective action
——Concentrating efforts on promoting high-quality development of the military
All great achievements are the result of continuous struggle, and all great undertakings need to be advanced by carrying forward the past and opening up the future. The military's establishment and practice of a correct view of political achievements must ultimately be reflected in continuously creating new prospects for the cause of strengthening the military.
All levels of the entire military have persisted in placing the starting point and focus of the study and education on completing with high quality the various tasks of combat, construction, and preparation, integrating these with concentrated efforts on promoting combat training and readiness, planning and tackling key problems, grasping grassroots and building foundations, and other ongoing work, promoting the correct view of political achievements to be implemented in work and carried out in practice, demonstrating a new atmosphere and new appearance of striving to strengthen the military through practical work and tangible results.
Returning the focus of work to the correct track and devoting all efforts to planning for combat and preparing for combat——
Time and again, combat alerts were sounded in the dead of night; time and again, emergency mobilizations with actual combat backgrounds were organized, always keeping the string of vigilance and combat readiness taut. Firmly establishing combat effectiveness as the sole and fundamental standard, discovering and solving problems through daily inspections and investigations, exercise and training reviews, etc., refining and examining problems of deviation in the view of political achievements in combat readiness and preparation, promoting all energy to focus on combat and all work to serve combat, successfully completing major tasks such as joint exercises and training, stability maintenance and rights protection, disaster relief, etc.
Each theater command has firmly established the baton of combat readiness and preparation, closely adhering to the situation and tasks in their respective directions, strictly correcting problems in planning for combat and grasping training, making determined efforts to improve the quality and effectiveness of combat readiness and struggle. At the front line of exercises and training, officers and soldiers sleep on their arms and train rigorously; at the forefront of military struggle preparation, troops are ready for combat at all times and capable of fighting at any moment. Units generally reflect that they have further returned the focus of combat readiness and preparation to the correct track, firmly established the orientation of genuine combat readiness, improved the quality and effectiveness of combat training and readiness, and markedly enhanced their confidence and conviction in strengthening the military and winning battles.
Persisting in taking practical and effective action to promote planning and tackling key problems——
This year is the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, and also a crucial year for striving to achieve the goal of building a strong military by the centenary of the military's founding. All levels have threaded deep implementation of the study and education, correcting development concepts, and advancing planning and construction together, striving to promote a good start and a good beginning for the 15th Five-Year Plan.
All departments and units have fully, accurately, and comprehensively implemented the new development philosophy, persisted in formulating and implementing the 15th Five-Year Plan with a correct view of political achievements, scientifically drawn the roadmap and construction blueprint for construction and development over the next five years. Each service and branch has persisted in proceeding from reality and acting in accordance with laws, paid attention to improving the responsibility system for planning implementation, promoted the concentration of forces and resources on tasks that must be accomplished, dynamically studied and resolved contradictions and problems in planning implementation, comprehensively improved the quality and effectiveness of planning implementation, and accelerated the construction of advanced combat effectiveness.
Focusing on consolidating foundations and strengthening grassroots to do a good job of grassroots construction——
The foundation for achieving the goal of building a strong military lies in the grassroots, and its vitality lies in the grassroots; shifting the center of gravity downward to grasp grassroots and build foundations is a tangible political achievement and a hidden achievement that benefits the long term.
Members of the Party committee leading body of a certain general detachment of the Armed Police Force went deep into the grassroots to conduct intensive research and dissect small problems, implementing"one detachment, one strategy" assistance and guidance for squadrons that have not been rated advanced for many years, promoting the forging of"three overcomings" grassroots units.A certain unit of the Rocket Force persisted in grasping construction in accordance with law and in accordance with regulations, supervising and standardizing the order of grassroots combat readiness and training, making determined efforts to correct prominent problems at the grassroots level, promoting comprehensive progress and comprehensive excellence in grassroots construction.
Facing new situations and new problems in grassroots construction, Party committee organs at all levels have consciously established the thinking of consolidating foundations and strengthening the grassroots, made determined efforts to do work that governs the fundamental, benefits the long term, and increases stamina, the foundation of troop construction and combat capability building has been made more solid, the mental state of grassroots officers and soldiers striving on the new journey and making contributions in the new era has been further uplifted, and promoting troop construction and development through practical work and tangible results has become a consensus and common action.
The war drums urge the swift horses forward, and striving with vigor is precisely the time. Party organizations at all levels of the entire military and the broad ranks of Party members and cadres must unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, persist in using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to arm the mind, guide practice, and promote work, establish a correct view of political achievements in thought and practice it in action, resolutely and effectively implement the major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, the Central Military Commission, and Chairman Xi's important instructions, resolutely produce political achievements for the people and through practical work, resolutely and unswervingly advance full and rigorous self-governance of the Party and full and rigorous governance of the military, consciously transform the results of the study and education into powerful motivation and practical action for uniting hearts and minds to advance the cause of strengthening the military, strive to create tangible achievements that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history, and write with all effort a new chapter of strengthening and revitalizing the military that is worthy of revolutionary predecessors, worthy of the century-old foundation, and worthy of the great era.

"Transfer to a human agent! Transfer to a human agent!" On the screen, a consumer surnamed Wu from Xuzhou, Jiangsu, kept sending the command, yet the dialog box kept bouncing back the AI (artificial intelligence) customer service's "Dear, I understand how you feel" — followed by a string of standardized menu options. After struggling for more than an hour before finally getting through to a human agent, and stating her return request clearly in just a few sentences, Wu was at once amused and exasperated: "It's way too much trouble."
In recent years, AI customer service has rapidly embedded itself into numerous consumer scenarios such as e-commerce, telecommunications, finance, travel, and home appliances, playing a positive role in improving response efficiency and reducing operating costs. However, a technology that should empower service has, on some platforms, become a "roadblock" that answers irrelevant questions (答非所问, da fei suo wen - "answer, not, what, asked"), loops through canned scripts, and makes it hard to reach a human agent. Data from the China Consumers Association show that in the first half of 2026, consumer complaint organizations nationwide accepted a total of 986,000 consumer complaints, with after-sales service issues accounting for the highest proportion, reaching 26.79%; AI customer service's dishonest promises, difficulty accessing human agents, and inaccurate generated content have become new hot spots in complaints.
Starting September 1, China's first national standard focusing on the coordination mechanism between human and intelligent customer service, the "Customer Contact Service — Requirements for Coordination of Human and Intelligent Customer Service" (GB/T 47746—2026), went into effect. How does this national standard "set rules" for AI customer service? And how should AI customer service better serve consumers?
Why is transferring to a human agent so difficult
In June this year, a consumer surnamed Zhou accidentally purchased a product on a gaming platform in Shenzhen, Guangdong. According to platform rules, since he had not yet claimed or redeemed it, he could apply for a refund. However, during communication, he could only ever receive replies from the AI customer service, being repeatedly guided to switch back and forth among mini-programs, service accounts, and apps. After trying to call the human-service phone line and online-call "human customer service," what he got was still the program's looping responses.
What is even more anxiety-inducing than answering irrelevant questions is being unable to reach a person in an emergency. In June this year, the smart door lock at consumer Ms. Wang's home suddenly malfunctioned, locking the family of three outside — including a baby just over six months old who urgently needed to get inside for milk. They tried keys and power banks, but the lock remained completely motionless (纹丝不动, wen si bu dong - "pattern, thread, not, move"). Ms. Wang immediately called the after-sales number, but what came through was the mechanical prompt tone of an AI customer service, with no way whatsoever to transfer to a human. The family waited outside the door for 50 minutes, and in the end could only ask a locksmith to come over. Earlier, she had already applied for after-sales service multiple times over the same fault, yet had never been able to successfully reach a human customer service agent.
What is even more infuriating is the issuing of empty promises (空头支票, kong tou zhi piao - "empty, head, check, ticket"). In May this year, consumer Mr. Gong was selecting a car on a second-hand car platform. Before paying a 2,000 yuan deposit, the platform's official AI customer service clearly stated that the vehicle price included transfer fees and license plate fees. But when it came time to complete the transaction, the salesperson demanded an additional 1,000 yuan transfer fee. Mr. Gong went to argue his case with the screenshot, and the other side replied, "AI answers do not represent the company's position."
A reporter searched a third-party consumer service platform using"AI customer service" as the keyword, and found more than 4,800 related complaints. "Flipping through the entire app and still no human entry point," "Sending a dozen 'transfer to human' messages and only getting 'I understand how you feel' in reply," "AI customer service promises vouchers, but the human agent says it doesn't count"… On social media, similar complaints have struck a massive chord.
Sorting through the complaints, it becomes clear that most problems concentrate in three categories: "transfer to human" is blocked at every turn, with some platforms using looping responses, multi-layer redirects, hidden entry points, and other means to delay or even prevent consumers from obtaining human service; AI customer service makes dishonest promises, casually giving blanket assurances on fee structures, promotional activities, and after-sales policies, and afterward the company refuses to honor them on the grounds that"algorithm-generated content has no legal effect"; generic AI generates factual errors in scenarios such as airline ticket refunds and changes, legal rights protection, and financial services, misleading consumers in their decisions.
"On some platforms, AI customer service is no longer merely a technical tool, but has been designed as a kind of 'invisible filter.'" Guo Yaozong, deputy director of the Complaint Department of the China Consumers Association, said that when consumers encounter complex problems, the AI going in circles is precisely about consuming consumers' time and patience.
Reducing costs and increasing efficiency (降本增效, jiang ben zeng xiao - "reduce, cost, increase, efficiency"), cannot mean miscalculating the "service account"
"A single human customer service agent, counting monthly salary, social insurance, training, and workstation, has a comprehensive cost of at least 3,000 yuan to start; a basic AI customer service system, by contrast, has a monthly rental fee as low as 99 yuan, and can accomplish the workload of dozens of human agents." An industry insider calculated a"cost account," with the cost difference between the two being roughly 30-fold; after an e-commerce platform adopted AI customer service, its human team was drastically reduced, saving more than a million yuan in labor costs per year.
The cost gap has led many enterprises to choose AI customer service, but some enterprises, as they do the math, end up miscalculating the "service account."
"Customer service departments in many enterprises are defined as 'cost centers,' with the primary assessment indicator being cost reduction." Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Consumer Rights Protection Law Research Association under the China Law Society, said that when cost reduction becomes the primary goal, AI customer service is no longer just a "service assistant," but is also given the function of intercepting complaints — adding a few more layers to the menu, having the responses loop a few more times, wearing down consumers' patience, and fewer people will pursue their rights, making the complaint rate on the report cards look "nicer" too. Some industry insiders have revealed that some enterprises have shifted their assessment focus toward the "AI interception rate" rather than the problem resolution rate, and some of these "obstacle designs" can intercept up to 70 percent of requests to transfer to a human agent.
"This is a mistaken form of 'reducing costs and increasing efficiency.'" Su Haopeng, professor at the Law School of the University of International Business and Economics and director of its Consumer Protection Law Research Center, said bluntly, "On the surface, customer service costs have dropped, but the problems have not been solved — they have merely been postponed and concealed, transformed into repeated consultations, public opinion escalation, return losses, and brand damage. This hidden cost is far higher than the labor costs saved."
Technical limitations have also exacerbated the fragmentation of the experience. At present, many AI customer service systems still rely on keyword matching and preset scripts, lacking deep semantic understanding — when a user says"restarting didn't work," the AI customer service keeps repeating"we suggest you restart"; when a user is emotionally agitated, the AI customer service still mechanically pushes menus. The deeper crux lies in the blurring of responsibility boundaries: when an AI customer service makes a commitment and the consumer makes a decision based on it, should a dispute arise, some enterprises brush it aside with a single push (一推了之, yi tui le zhi - "one, push, then, finish") with the excuse that"AI answers do not represent the company's position."
"This kind of 'technological buck-passing' does not hold up legally." Liao Huaixue, legal advisor to the China Consumers Association, analyzed that an AI customer service deployed by an enterprise itself is a component of the business's service chain, and replies given on official platforms represent the enterprise's position. Under the Consumer Rights Protection Law, business operators shall make truthful and clear replies to consumers' inquiries regarding the quality and methods of use of the goods or services they provide, and this obligation does not change depending on whether the service carrier is a human being or an AI.
Establish rules and clarify boundaries, letting technology return to its service-oriented role
The "chokepoints" of AI customer service are now being cleared at the institutional level.
This national standard, now implemented, has drawn clear boundaries for the coordination between human and intelligent customer service.
Wu Yansong, president of the Caibo Institute for Smart Governance Research, who participated in drafting the standard, introduced its key requirements: entry points must be conspicuous, with human service entry points prohibited from being hidden layer upon layer; division of labor must be clear, with scenarios involving complex disputes, financial disagreements, risks to personal and property safety, and cases where users explicitly request transfer to a human agent required to be transferred promptly, and key matters such as prices, refunds, and compensation to be finally confirmed by human agents; handover must be smooth, with the system required to fully transmit interaction records when switching between human and AI, and consumers must not be required to repeat their statements; responsibility must be clear, explicitly requiring enterprises to bear responsibility for the content of AI customer service replies, and prohibiting them from shirking responsibility on the grounds of"automatic algorithmic generation."
"This national standard is a recommended standard, but it is by no means 'toothless.'" Liao Huaixue explainedthat it will become an important reference for regulatory authorities in conducting administrative inspections and service quality assessments, and enterprises that do not meet the standard may be required to rectify; in the event of disputes, it will also become an important basis for consumers to defend their rights and for judicial adjudication.
A "combined punch" to govern the chaos of AI customer service is taking shape. The "Interim Measures for the Administration of Anthropomorphic Interactive Services Using Artificial Intelligence," which took effect on July 15, clearly requires that providers of anthropomorphic interactive services shall implement the primary responsibility for safety of anthropomorphic interactive services, and equip themselves with content management technical measures and personnel appropriate to the type, scale, and user characteristics of the service; the implementing regulations of the Consumer Rights Protection Law and the E-Commerce Law also contain provisions requiring business operators to establish convenient complaint-handling mechanisms. The China Consumers Association has recently issued a specific statement urging business operators to strengthen review and management; consumer associations in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Beijing, and other places have successively carried out talks with relevant enterprises.
Some leading companies have also begun making adjustments, with some moving the"transfer to human" button up to the homepage, and others exploring deep"AI + human" coordination, achieving lower after-sales costs while user satisfaction has improved to some extent.
"Technology empowers consumption, but service must have warmth." Chen Yinjiang believes that the key to governance lies in pushing enterprises to shift from a"cost-control orientation" to a"consumer-experience orientation." Guo Yaozong reminded consumers that for important information involving prices, contracts, and after-sales matters, one should not make decisions based solely on AI-generated content, and when encountering difficulty transferring to a human agent, one should be sure to preserve evidence and promptly file complaints with 12315 or consumer associations to defend their rights.
When enterprises no longer treat AI as a shield for "passing the buck," but rather as a "bridge-building" servant of service, and when"one-click transfer to a human agent" becomes standard configuration, AI customer service will be better able to benefit consumers and businesses alike. With the implementation of the national standard and the coordinated advancement of multiple parties, a consumer service environment with speed and warmth will take shape at an accelerated pace.

The Ergun River winds and flows, and on its banks, Shiwei Village of Mengwu Shiwei Sumu, Ergun City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, welcomes the golden autumn days of full harvest. The layered forests are dyed gold, the meadows gradually turn yellow, the fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and many tourists come drawn by the reputation of the place.
Shiwei Village sits on the China-Russia border, where forest, wetland, and grassland coexist, with rich cultural and natural resources. In the past, it long relied on traditional crop farming, the industrial structure was singular, many villagers went out to work as migrant laborers, and the problem of hollowing-out was prominent.
"In the past, village income was low, infrastructure was weak, and young people were unwilling to return to their hometowns." Niu Desheng, Party branch secretary of the Linjiang Production Brigade of Mengwu Shiwei Sumu, has witnessed the village's transformation. "Now that tourism has developed, villagers have opened homestays and restaurants one after another, and every peak season, accommodation is in extremely high demand.".
How did the transformation happen?
To the northeast of Shiwei Village sits the tourist scenic area, Aoluoqi Manor."We possess the scenery of the boundary river, the climate is pleasant, we cannot 'hold a golden rice bowl and beg for food' — we must transform the natural mountains and waters into sustainable value."As the person in charge of the scenic area, Tian Yimin has been rooted here for over 10 years, leading his team to turn an ordinary agricultural cultivation work site into a well-known scenic area.
Walking into the scenic area's popular-science planting garden, all kinds of distinctive fruits and vegetables greet the eye. Inside the greenhouse, dedicated areas have been divided off for farming study-and-practice and fruit-picking, with grain, oil, fruit, and vegetable crops planted, and farming classes are also open to young people."Children can see here how grain and vegetables grow, and personally experience the hardship of labor."a staff member of the planting garden introduced.
The scenic area has built distinctive projects such as a riverside coffee house, combining border scenery, farming study-and-practice, and leisure entertainment, driving the development of local culture-and-tourism."The entire Sumu now has over 420 tourism business operators, receiving nearly one million tourist visits each year."said Zhang Jing, deputy Sumu head of Mengwu Shiwei Sumu.
These genuine and substantial changes have brought improvements to the lives of the people of Shiwei Village. The scenic area provides nearly 150 jobs in fruit-picking management-and-protection, sightseeing services, distinctive catering, and more; the scenic area's Lieba (Russian-style bread) experience hall and other facilities give procurement priority to fruits, vegetables, and livestock and poultry products self-produced by local farming and herding households, opening a direct supply-and-sales channel for products; it also relies on rapeseed resources to carry out intensive processing and develop distinctive cultural-creative products, among other things."Quite a few young people who once went out into the world to make their way have chosen to come back and develop here, and local idle labor has basically achieved on-site employment."said Tian Yimin.
Pan Yuanliang is one such representative. In 2021, he returned to his hometown from Zhejiang and has been engaged in cultural-tourism publicity and promotion work."I hope to contribute a share of strength to my hometown's development and witness my hometown becoming better and better."Pan Yuanliang stated.
The integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism has realized the "turning scenery into cash," while the North Asia Rapeseed and Soybean Science-and-Technology Innovation Center has built a solid scientific-and-technological core for local agriculture.
"This is a natural testing ground for high-latitude oilseed breeding, and the goal is to screen out rapeseed improved varieties with short growth periods and high yield and high oil content."said Zhang Chunyan, station head of the North Asia Oil Valley Project Science-and-Technology Experiment Station, adding that the team has already selected and bred multiple excellent backbone parental lines, with some new varieties' production increase exceeding 40%, and multiple varieties have entered national and autonomous-region regional trials. Based on its locational advantages, the experiment station has also connected with research institutions in Russia and Mongolia to carry out cross-border cooperation, screening oilseed varieties suitable for the cold-region farmland of North Asia, so as to reserve germplasm resources for safeguarding the security of oilseed supply.
"It is very valuable to let tourists see modern agricultural science-and-technology and understand the stories of breeding."Zhang Chunyan introduced. The experiment station has set up a popular-science visiting passage, so tourists can walk into the experiment fields and observe variety comparison trials up close.
On the right bank of the Ergun River, this small border village is now radiating new vitality.
Return to TopFrom the computing-power industrial base between Beijing and Tianjin to a key hub of the national computing-power network, Langfang City in Hebei Province has completed a profound digital transformation over more than 10 years. As of now, the city has cumulatively built 36 data centers, with its total intelligent computing scale exceeding 200,000 P, and its urban computing-power sub-index has ranked first in the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology list for two consecutive years. From September 11 to 13 this year, the 2026 China Computing Power Conference was held in Langfang, and this "City of Computing Power" in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration is writing its answer sheet for high-quality development in the era of the digital economy with a solid industrial foundation, unique comparative advantages, and notable construction achievements.
Consolidating the Foundation for the Development of the Computing-Power Industry
In 2009, Langfang seized the opportunity of Beijing's big-data industry spillover, took the lead in Hebei Province in launching data center construction, and made a forward-looking layout of the computing-power industry. Today, a number of leading domestic computing-power industry enterprises, including Runze Technology, Huawei, GDS, and 21Vianet, have taken deep root in Langfang, and 7 national computing-power center service providers have already established their presence here. Langfang has built 14 national-level green data centers; Runze Technology has delivered in Langfang the nation's first entire-building pure-liquid-cooled intelligent computing center, with its computing-power utilization efficiency ranking in the domestic first tier. An ultra-low-latency fiber-optic link directly connected to Beijing's core node has been opened, with one-way transmission latency as low as 0.33 milliseconds, and the overall response speed of the data center is under 1 millisecond, achieving same-city-level real-time interaction of data between Beijing and Langfang. Langfang has completed and put into use the nation's first provincial-level computing-power monitoring and dispatching platform, and has established innovation carriers such as the Hebei Artificial Intelligence Computing Center and the Hebei Provincial Computing-Power Industry Technology Research Institute. It has researched and issued the province's first municipal-level "Artificial Intelligence+" action plan, the"Langfang City Artificial Intelligence Industry Cluster Construction Plan." 49 artificial intelligence large models, including"Liye Langfang" and"Dayu," have already been deployed and applied in multiple fields, including government services, urban governance, culture, tourism, transportation, medical care, and elderly care.
Forging the Core Competitive Advantages of the Computing-Power Industry
Langfang is located in the core hinterland of the"Golden Triangle" of Beijing, Tianjin, and Xiong'an, with its main urban area 40 kilometers from downtown Beijing, 60 kilometers from downtown Tianjin, and 80 kilometers from the Xiong'an New Area, having fully integrated into the half-hour commuting circle of Beijing, Tianjin, and Xiong'an; within a 1-hour drive, one can reach 3 international airports, and within the region, 11 railways, 13 expressways, and 32 national and provincial trunk roads are interconnected, providing a transportation advantage for building low-latency computing-power nodes and undertaking the spillover of Beijing's computing-power demand. Langfang deeply participates in the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei and in the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, and relying on the huge market of the 110-million-person population of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, has successfully held international events such as the China·Langfang International Economic and Trade Fair on a continuous basis. The entire territory of Langfang is a cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone, possessing the Beijing Daxing International Airport Airport Economic Zone (Langfang), the China (Hebei) Pilot Free Trade Zone Daxing Airport Area (Langfang),, Langfang Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and 11 development zones at or above the provincial level; 27 industrial clusters have annual sales exceeding 470 billion yuan, laying a solid industrial foundation for empowering the real economy with computing power. Langfang is a city with net population inflow, having added 1.1 million people net over 10 years; within its territory there are 12 universities and 26 vocational colleges, with a total enrolled student population exceeding 260,000 people.
Promoting the Empowerment of all walks of life by Computing Power
Langfang is making every effort to build an integrated computing-power transmission network for Beijing and Langfang, with one-way transmission latency as low as 0.33 milliseconds, and the end-to-end response time of data centers controlled within 1 millisecond, forming a coordinated development pattern of"R&D in Beijing, computing power in Langfang," effectively opening up the"information artery" for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei computing-power coordination, and providing important support for the integrated construction of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei computing-power network. The Hebei Province integrated computing-power network platform, led and constructed by Langfang City, is the nation's first provincial-level computing-power monitoring and dispatching platform officially launched and put into operation, having already connected the operational data of more than a hundred data centers within the province, and being connected with the national computing-power network dispatching system, contributing the Langfang case to the national integrated computing-power network construction. Langfang has issued policies such as"computing-power vouchers" to promote the development of the artificial intelligence industry, planning to add"token vouchers, data vouchers, and model vouchers" on top of the"computing-power vouchers," forming a policy package of four-voucher linkage, and planning to establish a"Computing Power+" industrial fund with a target total scale of no less than 2 billion yuan, reducing enterprise landing and operation costs from multiple dimensions such as computing-power subsidies, factor guarantees, and financial empowerment, and continuously enhancing the attractiveness of industrial investment. At present, 49 artificial intelligence large models, including the"Liye Langfang" human resources large model and the"Dayu" emergency large model, have already achieved results in multiple fields, effectively improving the efficiency of government services, the precision of urban governance, and the level of industrial development.
From data warehouse to intelligent computing highland, from infrastructure to industrial ecology, Langfang is using computing power as a fulcrum to pry open the infinite possibilities of the digital economy. The 2026 China Computing Power Conference being held in Langfang is not only a full affirmation of Langfang's industrial strength, but also forms important support for Langfang's building of a national computing-power industry highland.

"The wall of my house is cracked — it was his ditch-digging that shook it! Today you must give me an explanation!" 74-year-old Grandma Zhang stood up and slapped the table, the tea in the paper cup shook and sloshed out in a ring.
The young tenant, Mr. Li, also stood up, his tone urgent: "I've only rented this house for six months; the crack was there long ago, it has nothing to do with me."
Seeing Grandma Zhang stride straight toward Mr. Li, on the other side of the table, young police officer Xie Lifang felt somewhat at a loss. The mediation methods she had learned churned over and over in her mind, but the state of extreme tension or hostility (剑拔弩张, jian ba nu zhang - "sword, draw, bow, tense") left her momentarily flustered. She hurriedly rushed between the two, trying to soothe both sides' emotions, but the scene remained deadlocked.
"Everyone stop arguing, sit down first!" 58-year-old veteran police officer Zhou Zhixian put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked over. He first helped Grandma Zhang to one side, then patted Mr. Li on the shoulder. Only then did the two sit down, but each turned their head away, neither paying attention to the other.
This scene took place in the home of a resident in a community in Nanhua County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Grandma Zhang was the landlord, and Mr. Li was the tenant. Mr. Li had renovated the drainage ditch of the house, and afterward a crack appeared in the wall. The two therefore argued incessantly (争执不休, zheng zhi bu xiu - "dispute, not, cease"), one side believing that digging the ditch had shaken and cracked the wall, the other insisting that it was years of disrepair, having nothing to do with him.
Each party maintained their own version of events (各执一词, ge zhi yi ci - "each, hold, one, word"). A staff member nearby muttered quietly:"If it really doesn't work, let the young man compensate 20,000 yuan, first pacify her." Xie Lifang walked over to Zhou Zhixian and asked in a low voice:"Will that work?" Zhou Zhixian, however, signaled her not to rush:"Let's get the facts straight first." He told the two to each go home for now.
After the two were separated, Zhou Zhixian, taking Xie Lifang and community staff, visited the neighbors one by one, and also invited technical personnel from the housing and construction department to conduct an on-site survey.
The result quickly became clear: the crack was caused by the foundation being soaked in water over a long period and settling naturally; what the ditch-digging had caused was only the peeling of whitewash from the wall. Zhou Zhixian guided Xie Lifang to clarify the liability ratio according to law, and also invited a community legal adviser to intervene and propose a solution: Grandma Zhang would bear 80% of the cost of repairing the wall, Mr. Li would bear the remaining 20% of the cost of re-plastering, and since the repair of the drainage ditch concerned the rights and interests of both households, the cost of repairing the drainage ditch would be borne equally by both sides. A few days later, both sides signed a mediation agreement.
Afterward, Zhou Zhixian took Xie Lifang through a review:"Mediation must distinguish right from wrong according to law; one cannot muddle through. Only when every party is completely convinced and satisfied (心服口服, xin fu kou fu - "heart, submit, mouth, submit") can the conflict truly be turned over." "The basic skill of a community police officer is not just being able to persuade people to calm down, but moreover being able to investigate clearly, judge definitively, and resolve conflicts at their root." Xie Lifang was deeply moved.
In recent years, the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department has promoted a"master-apprentice pairing" initiative at grassroots police stations, having already formed 7,025 pairs of police master-apprentice, with Zhou Zhixian and Xie Lifang being one of them. In November 2024, 56-year-old third-class senior police inspector Zhou Zhixian stepped down from his post as deputy director of the Nanhua County Public Security Bureau and became a community police officer. In September 2025, he and Xie Lifang became master and apprentice, beginning to pass on the mass-work experience he had accumulated over the years to Xie Lifang without reservation.
Why promote"master-apprentice pairing" at grassroots police stations?"To let veteran police officers pass on experience hand-in-hand, helping young police officers grow quickly in real combat, letting good traditions and good practices be continuously inherited, becoming a hard-and-fast measure for advancing work and cracking difficult problems." Said Qian Xingzhong, deputy director of the Team Building Division of the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department.
After arriving in the community, Zhou Zhixian gained a deeper understanding of the emergence of conflicts and their mediation: many disputes are not sudden major conflicts, but rather are formed by daily trivialities accumulating day by day over a long period (日积月累, ri ji yue lei - "day, accumulate, month, pile up"), and by the time police are called and handling begins, the grudges between the two sides have already run deep, making mediation many times more difficult."We must observe more and pay more attention, not waiting for residents to come to the police to report, but instead taking the initiative to walk to the scene of the conflict, resolving problems while they are still in the bud." Zhou Zhixian said.
The wall-crack dispute between Grandma Zhang and Mr. Li was precisely a real-combat test of the master-apprentice pair's"clinic-style" mediation and handling. How to knock on residents' doors, how to chat about everyday matters with the elderly, how to sniff out signs of risk from trivial idle talk, how to turn policy provisions into plain language the masses can understand... Under her master's teaching through both words and personal example (言传身教, yan chuan shen jiao - "words, transmit, body, teach"), Xie Lifang's various professional skills grew increasingly proficient.
One evening, Zhou Zhixian had just picked up his rice bowl in the cafeteria when his phone screen lit up. Li Zhongcai, a 68-year-old resident, sent a WeChat voice message:"Officer Zhou, someone in the group chat said there's an agricultural specialty products company where you can invest money for financial management, with a return rate of 20%. This afternoon I invested 5,000 yuan... Can you help me take a look, is it reliable or not?"
Zhou Zhixian tapped open the community WeChat group. A user named"a certain agricultural specialty products" was sending links, accompanied by talking points of"low risk, high return," and underneath there were already seven or eight elderly people inquiring, with some even posting screenshots of bank transfer confirmations.
"This looks like illegal fundraising..." Xie Lifang leaned over."It doesn't just look like it — it is." Zhou Zhixian pulled up three screenshots of court judgments on illegal fundraising from his phone's photo album."The playbook is exactly the same."
"Reply in the group right away, tell everyone not to invest money for now, wait until I verify." Zhou Zhixian reminded Xie Lifang,""Don't make the tone too harsh; elderly people get nervous easily." Less than two minutes after the message was sent, the group went quiet.
But the real"scene" was outside the WeChat group. Zhou Zhixian, dressed in plain clothes, pretended to be a"retired cadre" who had dropped by to take a look, chatting with the salesperson for more than 10 minutes.
Zhou Zhixian said:"The agreement didn't write the rate of return; the promises were all verbal, and the flow of funds was also vague." Back at the police station, Zhou Zhixian and Xie Lifang drafted a lead report, entered it into the system, and simultaneously reported it upward to the Economic Crime Investigation Brigade of the county public security bureau. Multiple departments jointly intervened and investigated according to law, discovering that the company had indeed absorbed funds from unspecified members of the public under the guise of"investment with returns," involving an amount of 500,000 yuan, with 33 elderly people having invested alone, and ultimately the full 500,000 yuan of investment funds was returned.
After the matter was successfully resolved, Zhou Zhixian posted a fraud-prevention reminder in the community group. Xie Lifang, in turn, turned the reminder into a poster and forwarded it one by one into residents' groups. Many community police officers also told this just-occurred case to the elderly in their communities, using the case to explain the law, with producing immediate and visible results (立竿见影, li gan jian ying - "lift, pole, see, shadow").
From mediating disputes to blocking fraud, each bout of real combat made Xie Lifang's understanding of community policing ever deeper. Xie Lifang said with feeling:"Serving the masses cannot rely on enthusiasm alone, but also on methods. Previously, when encountering disputes, I easily followed my emotions; now I am gradually learning to integrate sentiment, reason, and law."
"'Master-apprentice pairing' emphasizes teaching by words, but even more emphasizes teaching by personal example; it imparts handling techniques, and even more conveys a commitment to serving the people." Qian Xingzhong said,"Through handling cases together, going out on calls together, it strengthens young police officers' hard skills in doing mass work and resolving conflicts and risks, pushing police forces to take root at the front line, and integrating the practice of the new era's the Fengqiao model (枫桥经验) into daily law enforcement and service."

Young grassroots cadres going down to the front line, going from street to street (走街串巷, zou jie chuan xiang - "walk the streets, thread through alleys"), are full of work enthusiasm, but also often encounter problems they cannot solve. How can they quickly accumulate effective working methods? How can they integrate closely with the people (打成一片, da cheng yi pian - "hit, become, one, piece") and win their trust? The Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department has implemented a "master-apprentice pairing" initiative at grassroots police stations, forming 7,025 pairs of police master-apprentice duos. The masters' imparting everything one knows (倾囊相授, qing nang xiang shou -"empty, bag, confer, teach") to their apprentices is precisely the answer.
Moving the classroom into streets and alleys, sending "teachers" to the side of young cadres. Give them a hand, bring them along, and they will get into the swing of things faster. Let that practical combat experience and working methods that cannot be learned from books be passed down through teaching by both words and example (言传身教, yan chuan shen jiao -"words, transmit, body, teach") and being influenced by what one sees and hears (耳濡目染, er ru mu ran -"ear, moisten, eye, dye"). Let young cadres quickly understand grassroots conditions, adapt to the grassroots, master more grassroots working methods, discover the pain points of the masses, and respond to their demands in a timely manner.

In the air, an unmanned search-and-rescue platform rapidly locks onto the "wounded"; on the ground, an automated three-dimensional warehouse intelligently sorts supplies; at the command hub, a joint logistics support situation map in real time streams full-domain data on transport capacity, warehousing, and medical support... These are vivid scenes of the Joint Logistics Support Force empowering support capability through science and technology, and also a vivid footnote to how this new-type force has transformed toward combat over the past decade.
On September 13, 2016, the founding ceremony of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Central Military Commission was held in Beijing. Over the ten years since its establishment, officers and soldiers of the Joint Logistics Support Force have kept their mission etched in their hearts, and have taken on heavy responsibilities with courage (勇挑重担, yong tiao zhong dan - "bravely shoulder heavy burden") to pave a steel support line.
Today, from the dense forests of the south to the western border frontiers, from plains and hills to high mountains and islands, from plateau stationing training to overseas peacekeeping, from red-vs-blue force confrontation to the "Joint Logistics Mission" and "Elite Warriors Joint Logistics" series of exercises and training, transport and delivery formations stretch across a thousand miles, field medical support forces accompany combat units in their operations, and support elements such as fuel, ammunition, and quartermaster supplies act in linkage according to plans, uniting forces into a cohesive strength (攥指成拳, zuan zhi cheng quan - "clench fingers, become fist"). Bearing in mind the oath of "everything for the front line, everything for victory," the Joint Logistics Support Force has always maintained a combat readiness posture of "arriving first, withdrawing last, employed throughout," handing in a strong-core performance on the answer sheet of building a powerful military.
Return to TopAs intelligent driving becomes the major direction of the future development of the automotive industry, and as intelligent agents accelerate their integration into the entire chain of automotive R&D, production, and manufacturing, the focus of competition in China's automotive industry is shifting from mechanical performance and electrification toward intelligence, whose substance is AI large models and high-level intelligent driving. In the process of the automotive industry's intelligent transformation, the role of a key variable is becoming increasingly prominent — the AI cloud foundation, which, though it does not appear directly in consumers' field of vision, is precisely forming the underlying technological support that determines the speed and height of automakers' intelligent transformation.
Using the automotive cloud to meet driving-model training needs
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, from January to February this year, the penetration rate of new passenger cars equipped with L2-level combined driving-assistance functions reached 69.15%, an increase of 10 percentage points over the same period last year. The large-scale deployment of assisted-driving functions onboard has brought exponential computing-power demand: training a single end-to-end driving model requires a cluster of thousands of GPUs (graphics processing units) to run continuously for several weeks, and the return transmission and processing of massive road-test data places stringent requirements on cloud storage and data compliance
The automotive cloud, as a cloud-computing system oriented toward the automotive manufacturing industry, has seen its market size expand rapidly as demand remains high. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) China Automotive Cloud Market Tracking Report, in the second half of 2025, the size of China's automotive cloud market reached 10.09 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 55%, breaking through the 10-billion-yuan mark for the first time; the full-year market size of autonomous-driving R&D solutions was 2.236 billion yuan, with Baidu AI Cloud ranking first at 754 million yuan, accounting for a 33.72% share. At the Create 2026 Baidu AI Developer Conference, Shen Dou, Executive Vice President of Baidu Group and President of Baidu AI Cloud Business Group, introduced that Baidu AI Cloud has already supported the delivery of more than 20 million new vehicles with L2-level assisted driving, with services covering mainstream automakers and automotive brands ranking among the top domestic sales
Providing full-chain services with a full-stack AI system
Baidu AI Cloud's "chip-cloud-model-integration" full-stack AI system has become the key AI infrastructure running through the automotive industry chain. At the computing-power level, Baidu AI Cloud, relying on its self-developed Kunlun chips and the Qianchuan AI computing platform, as well as the driving-model special acceleration capability built into Qianchuan 5.0, through high-performance AI infrastructure and efficient resource scheduling, helps achieve a substantial improvement in training efficiency. The Kunlun M100, aimed at large-scale inference scenarios, is about to hit the market, and will further provide autonomous-and-controllable computing-power support
At the data level, Baidu, as a vendor that simultaneously possesses cloud-service capability and Class-A surveying-and-mapping qualifications, can provide end-to-end closed-loop services from data collection to compliant processing. Relying on 450,000 kilometers of high-precision maps and data-synthesis technology, combined with the automatic-annotation capability of the ERNIE large model, Baidu AI Cloud has built for automakers an integrated data closed loop from data purification to simulation validation, substantially reducing annotation costs and covering more long-tail scenarios. At the model-and-toolchain level, a providing all necessary services in one place (一站式, yi zhan shi - "one, station, all") VLA(visual-language-action) R&D toolchain opens up the entire chain from data collection to model training and world-model simulation, helping automakers achieve "day-level algorithm updates, week-level OTA(remote online upgrade) deployment on the road"
Oriented toward the automotive industry, promoting computing-power output and capability co-building
Baidu AI Cloud continues to advance industrial practice, helping China's Changan Automobile build an intelligent computing center, with the Qianchuan AI computing platform as its foundation, raising the average utilization rate of computing power to above 90%, and improving the training efficiency of a single model by 30%; supporting Geely Automobile in building a hybrid cloud platform, serving 22 business departments, reducing management-and-maintenance costs by 30%,and improving resource utilization efficiency by 20%; as an infrastructure supplier for Horizon Robotics, helping the enterprise, through special optimization, achieve a 30% improvement in GPU resource utilization, with fault-handling time reduced to the minute level
Not stopping at computing-power output, Baidu AI Cloud also places equal emphasis on capability co-building. Automotive design company IAT, leveraging Baidu's Famu algorithm optimization engine, has shortened wind-resistance simulation verification time from the hour level to the minute level. In the cooperation with Weichai Power, Baidu AI Cloud not only helped the enterprise build an AI platform, but also, through scenario co-creation and joint team building, helped the enterprise develop autonomous AI R&D capabilities covering platform construction, intelligent-agent building, and scenario operation, achieving the deep application of AI technology in industrial scenarios
At present, Baidu AI Cloud has already supported leading enterprises in the industry chain — including vehicle manufacturers, batteries, chips, and driverless vehicles — in conducting R&D, training, simulation, testing, and mass-production delivery, with voice and large models cumulatively installed in more than 10 million vehicles, and mass-production delivery covering more than 100 vehicle models
As the automotive industry accelerates toward the new stage of intelligence, competition among automakers will not only be limited to hardware quality, but will also encompass full-stack AI capabilities whose substance is computing power, data, and models. The innovation that can be seen is on the vehicle; the competitiveness that cannot be seen is in the cloud — Baidu AI Cloud will continue to strengthen its full-stack AI cloud foundation, adding momentum to the intelligent leap of the automotive industry

Persisting in tempering and forging a strong Party spirit is an important component of Xi Jinping's thought on Party building and a foundational measure for the great new project of Party building in the new era. General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly pointed out: "The strong Party spirit of Chinese Communists is an important guarantee for our Party to maintain its advanced nature and purity, and to improve its leadership level and governance capability." A strong Party spirit is the unique spiritual gene of a Marxist political party and the cornerstone for Party members and officials to establish themselves, build their careers, speak with authority, and cultivate moral character. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has placed the tempering of a strong Party spirit in a more prominent position in Party building, has persisted in integrating Party spirit education throughout the entire process of education, management, and supervision of Party members and officials, has guided the vast majority of Party members and officials to, in the process of remolding their subjective world, strengthen their original aspiration (砥砺初心, di li chu xin - "grind, sharpen; initial heart") and temper their political character, providing a strong ideological guarantee and political guarantee for upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership and advancing full and rigorous self-governance of the Party. Deeply grasping the scientific connotation, internal logic, and practical requirements of persisting in tempering a strong Party spirit has major and far-reaching significance for building the Party into an even stronger force and for uniting and leading the people to comprehensively advance the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese modernization.
Tempering a strong Party spirit is the foundational project of Party building in the new era
Party spirit is the essential attribute and intrinsic character of a political party. For a Marxist political party, Party spirit centrally embodies the Party's class foundation, political stance, fundamental purpose, and value pursuit, and is the fundamental marker distinguishing it from other political parties; for Party members and officials, Party spirit is embodied in the conscious identification with and firm practice of the Party's nature, purpose, ideals, beliefs, original aspiration, founding mission, discipline, and rules. Fundamentally speaking, where Party spirit resides, there resides strength; Party spirit is an important spiritual support for our Party to maintain unity and solidarity and to accomplish its historical mission. Since the new era, the historical position our Party occupies, the missions and tasks it bears, and the risks and tests it faces have all undergone profound changes; the more complex the situation and the more arduous the tasks, the more necessary it is to temper a strong Party spirit
It is an inevitable requirement for strengthening the Party's political construction and maintaining the Party's unity and solidarity. Political construction is the fundamental construction of the Party, determining the direction and effect of Party building. In Volume I of Selected Works of Xi Jinping on Party Building, in the article "Comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee Must Have a Strong Consciousness of Aligning with the Central Committee," General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out:"Upholding the authority of the Party Central Committee is by no means a general issue or a personal matter, but a directional, principled issue; it is Party spirit, it is the overall situation, and it concerns the future and destiny of the Party, the nation, and the country." This important exposition internally connects Party spirit with political loyalty, political discipline, and political rules, profoundly revealing the political essence of Party spirit. Our Party is a major party with a huge organizational system and a large contingent of Party members, bearing the historical responsibility of leading a major country with a population of over 1.4 billion to advance Chinese modernization. For a major party and a major country, the most essential thing is that the Party Central Committee has authority, that the Party has unified will and unified action. If Party spirit is not strong, individualism, decentralism, liberalism, departmentalism, and the doctrine of being a nice person will breed and spread, the Party's unity and solidarity will be damaged, and the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee will be difficult to implement thoroughly. It is precisely in this sense that General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized:"The most fundamental aspect of speaking politics is to speak Party spirit." Only with a strong Party spirit can one maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in political stance, political direction, political principles, and political path, and can one embody the firm support for the Two Establishments (两个确立) and the resolute achievement of the Two Upholds (两个维护) in the actual actions of implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee
It is an inevitable requirement for building a solid ideological embankment for long-term governance and for deeply advancing the Party's self-revolution. Advanced nature and purity are the essential attributes of a Marxist political party. A party's past advanced nature does not mean its present advanced nature, and its present advanced nature does not mean its eternal advanced nature. Our Party has traversed a glorious course of 105 years, experiencing many hardships and changes (风雨沧桑, feng yu cang sang - "wind, rain; vicissitudes") while continuously growing stronger; an important reason lies in its constant courage to carry out self-revolution and its proficiency in self-purification. In Volume II of Selected Works of Xi Jinping on Party Building, in the article "Advancing the Party's Self-Revolution: The Key Lies in Implementation and in Truly Achieving Results," General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out:"To advance self-revolution, we must strengthen the foundation and revitalize the essence (固本培元, gu ben pei yuan - "solidify foundation, nourish origin") and strengthen Party spirit." This important exposition reveals the deep relationship between Party spirit building and self-revolution: self-revolution must rely not only on external institutional norms and constraints, but even more on internal Party spirit consciousness and support; it must solve not only problems at the behavioral level, but even more problems at the root of thought. Party spirit cultivation, in essence, is the self-transformation, self-restraint, and self-improvement of Party members and officials, and is a process of continuously examining, correcting, and rectifying one's own problems through regular ideological and political physical examinations. If Party spirit is not strong, criticism and self-criticism will lose their edge, and intra-Party political life will become a mere formality; if Party spirit is weakened, the capacity for self-restraint will be lost, and the temptations of power, money, and beauty will be impossible to resist. Under conditions of long-term governance, the greatest risk in Party management and Party governance comes from within, comes from the hearts of the people. Only by making the tempering of a strong Party spirit a foundational project for strengthening the foundation and revitalizing the essence, continuously enhancing Party consciousness, Party member consciousness, and discipline consciousness, can we build a solid ideological embankment against corruption and degeneration, ensuring that the Party forever retains vigorous vitality and strong combat effectiveness
It is an inevitable requirement for tempering the political character of loyalty, integrity, and responsibility and for bearing the mission of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation. The cause of the Party depends on people, and depends on officials. Advancing Chinese modernization is an unprecedented pioneering undertaking, placing new and higher demands on the political character, capabilities, skills, and mental state of Party members and officials. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized:"Whether one dares to take responsibility and has the courage to shoulder responsibility best reveals a cadre's Party spirit and work style." Whether Party members and officials are loyal and reliable, whether they are honest and upright, whether they dare to take responsibility—all ultimately depend on whether Party spirit is strong. Only with a strong Party spirit can one be loyal to the Party's beliefs, the Party's organization, and the Party's cause, implement the Party's line, principles, policies, and policies completely and without compromise, can one always place the people at the highest position in one's heart, can one rush forward, stand firm, and win in the face of major struggles and urgent, difficult, dangerous, and heavy tasks. At present, some Party members and officials circumvent problems when they encounter contradictions, retreat when they encounter difficulties; some have deviations in their views on political achievements and are keen on making superficial shows; some lack sufficient resolve in the face of temptations and lose their disciplinary defense lines. These problems manifest themselves in work style and in capability, but their roots lie in Party spirit; their crux is weakened Party spirit and imbalance between public and private interests. Tempering a strong Party spirit means integrating loyalty, integrity, and responsibility into one's blood and manifesting them in action, transforming the Party's political advantages, organizational advantages, and advantages in close ties with the masses into governance effectiveness and development achievements
Deeply grasping the internal logic of tempering a strong Party spirit in the new era
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping, centering on why Chinese Communists must temper a strong Party spirit, what kind of strong Party spirit to temper, and how to temper a strong Party spirit, has put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new conclusions, profoundly answering the major proposition of "how a long-term governing Marxist political party can possess a strong Party spirit." These important expositions both uphold the basic principles of Marxist Party building theory concerning ideological Party building, political Party building, and organizational Party building, and make creative developments in light of the practice of Party building in the new era
From the perspective of essential stipulations, it answers the fundamental question of what stance Chinese Communists should take and what principles they should uphold. Party spirit is not an immutable abstract concept, but is continuously enriched and developed in the Party's theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation. Since the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping, from the strategic height of upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership and advancing full and rigorous self-governance of the Party, has made a series of profound expositions on Party spirit construction. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized,"Party spirit, in the final analysis, is a question of stance""The fundamental yardstick for measuring the strength of Party spirit is the two characters of public and private""Party spirit and affinity to the people have always been consistent and unified""Party spirit is the cornerstone for Party members and officials to establish themselves, build their careers, speak with authority, and cultivate moral character." These important expositions are mutually interconnected, profoundly elucidating the essential connotation of the Party spirit of Chinese Communists in the new era. More importantly, General Secretary Xi Jinping has revealed the foundational role of Party spirit in the overall layout of Party building in the new era. Political construction cannot be separated from the support of Party spirit, ideological construction cannot be separated from the nourishment of Party spirit, organizational construction cannot be separated from the guarantee of Party spirit, and work style construction and discipline construction cannot be separated from the constraint of Party spirit. Work style problems are essentially Party spirit problems, deviations in views on political achievements are fundamentally Party spirit problems, and lax discipline also has Party spirit problems behind it. Making the persistence in tempering a strong Party spirit an important component of Party building in the new era indicates that our Party's understanding of Party spirit construction has further expanded from the level of individual Party member self-cultivation to the strategic level of long-term governing Party construction, and has been elevated from general ideological transformation to the fundamental level of advancing self-revolution and escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall, order and chaos
From the perspective of generation mechanisms, it answers the practical question of what Chinese Communists rely on to temper and how to continuously temper a strong Party spirit. Party spirit cultivation will not naturally improve with the growth of Party membership seniority, nor will it naturally strengthen with promotion in position. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out,"Leading officials must regard tempering Party spirit and improving ideological consciousness as a lifelong subject""Ideological decline is the most serious lesion." This profoundly reveals the long-term nature, arduousness, and repetitiveness of Party spirit construction: Party spirit tempering has no moment of "graduation"; it must be persistently grasped without relaxation, requiring sustained, long-term effort, and one must live, learn, and cultivate one's character until old age. In terms of goal orientation, Xi Jinping Thought on Party building emphasizes that strengthening Party spirit focuses on firming up ideals and beliefs, forging loyalty to the Party, cultivating deep feelings for the people, purifying moral character, and maintaining integrity and honesty. From the five dimensions of belief, loyalty, feelings, moral character, and integrity, it constructs the coordinate system of Party spirit cultivation. In terms of methods and paths, Xi Jinping Thought on Party building emphasizes the interconnection of ideological tempering, political training, practical exercise, and professional development, taking seriously intra-Party political life, making good use of the sharp weapon of criticism and self-criticism, and adhering to the combination of self-discipline and heteronomy, education and supervision. This constructs a Party spirit tempering system in which theoretical armed casting of the soul, intra-Party political life tempering, practical struggle honing, and disciplinary supervision constraint are interconnected, realizing an important transformation from mainly relying on individual consciousness to laying equal emphasis on consciousness and institutions, and combining internal introspection with external constraints
From the perspective of cultural roots, it answers the contemporary question of how Chinese Communists should cultivate themselves, rectify themselves, and nurture their realm. Chinese culture has always attached importance to rectifying the mind and cultivating the person, advocating caution when alone and caution in small matters, self-reflection and self-discipline, emulating the virtuous (见贤思齐, jian xian si qi - "see worthy, think, emulate") and unity of knowledge and action (知行合一, zhi xing he yi - "know, act, combine as one"), forming a profound cultural tradition of self-cultivation. In Volume I of Selected Works of Xi Jinping on Party Building,in the article "Party Spirit Is the Cornerstone for Party Members and Officials to Establish Themselves, Build Their Careers, Speak with Authority, and Cultivate Moral Character," General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized:"Party spirit education is a required course for Communists to cultivate their character and nurture their nature, and is also the 'study of the mind' of Communists." This important assertion connects Party spirit cultivation with the long-standing way of self-cultivation in China's excellent traditional culture, which has a long and profound history (源远流长, yuan yuan liu chang - "source, far; flow, long"). The "study of the mind" of Communists, adhering to the guidance of Marxism, inherits the core of attaching importance to self-cultivation, self-rectification, and internal self-reflection in China's excellent traditional culture, while also transcending the historical limitations of traditional self-cultivation culture, elevating individual moral cultivation into the forging of the political character of Communists, and transforming internal introspection into actual actions of sharing concerns for the Party, fulfilling responsibilities for the country, and dedicating oneself to serving the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized"having reverence in the heart, restraint in words, and limits in actions""understanding great virtue, upholding public virtue, and strictly practicing private virtue"; these important requirements have both the profound nourishment of the Chinese cultural lineage and the distinctive character of Marxist Party spirit principles, opening up a new realm for Communists in the new era to cultivate virtue, establish character, and temper Party spirit
Using continuous Party spirit tempering to forever maintain the political character of Communists
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our Party has persisted in regarding Party spirit education as a required course for Party members and officials to cultivate their character, carried out a series of centralized learning and education activities, and promoted Party membersand officials to continuously strengthen their Party spirit in receiving political education, ideological tempering, and spiritual baptism. Practice has proven that using scientific theory to cast the soul and strengthen the foundation, using centralized education to concentrate efforts on tackling key problems, and using institutional mechanisms to consolidate achievements is the successful path of tempering a strong Party spirit in the new era. The vast majority of Party membersand officials have become firmer in their ideals and beliefs, more conscious in their loyalty to the Party, more solid in their consciousness of purpose, markedly stronger in their concept of discipline, and continuously uplifted in their spirit of undertaking work and starting businesses. On the new journey, the"four major tests"and"four major dangers"will exist for a long time. We must persist unswervingly in tempering a strong Party spirit, adhere to the simultaneous exertion of internal and external factors and the close combination of self-discipline and heteronomy, make efforts in the aspects of constancy and long-term, strictness and practicality, depth and meticulousness, so that the entire Party always maintains the political character of Communists
Persist in using theoretical armed forces to cast the soul, building a solid foundation of Party spirit in ideological tempering. Theoretical sobriety is the premise of political firmness and strong Party spirit. The primary task of tempering a strong Party spirit is to persist unswervingly in using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to unite hearts and cast the soul. We must educate and guide Party membersand officials to read original works, study original texts, and comprehend principles, comprehensively and systematically master the scientific system, core essentials, and practical requirements of this important thought, deeply grasp the standpoints, viewpoints, and methods running through it, and elevate theoretical understanding into firm belief. Combine theoretical learning with Party spirit examination, frequently examine against the Party's innovative theories whether ideals and beliefs are firm, whether political loyalty is reliable, whether consciousness of purpose is solid. Only by transforming scientific theory into firm belief, political loyalty, and excellent character can Party spirit tempering have a powerful support
Persist in using political training to consolidate the foundation, tempering a strong Party spirit in serious intra-Party political life. Loyalty to the Party is the primary political quality of Communists. To temper a strong Party spirit, we must firmly support the Two Establishments and resolutely achieve the Two Upholds. Educate and guide Party membersand officials to continuously improve their political judgment, political understanding, and political execution, be adept at observing and handling problems from a political perspective, and consciously think within the overall situation and act within the overall situation. Strictly implement the Several Guidelines on Intra-Party Political Life under the New Situation, implement systems such as the "Three Meetings and One Lesson," democratic life meetings, organizational life meetings, heart-to-heart talks, and democratic appraisal of Party members, make good use of the sharp weapon of criticism and self-criticism, and let Party membersand officials regularly undergo political physical examinations. Highlight the "key minority" of leading officials, promote leading officials to participate in organizational life of their branch or Party group as ordinary Party members, take the lead in accepting organizational education, management, and supervision, and take the lead in creating a political ecosystem that is upright and clean
Persist in using practical exercise to sharpen capabilities, testing Party spirit in the responsible actions of benefiting the people. Party spirit and affinity to the people are highly unified. Whether the Party spirit of Party membersand officials is strong ultimately depends on whether they truly stand firm on the people's stance, cultivate deep feelings for the people, and handle well the urgent, difficult, anxious, and expectant matters of the masses. We must regard the front line of reform, development, and stability, the main battlefield of comprehensive rural revitalization and grassroots governance, and the tests of major struggles and urgent, difficult, dangerous, and heavy tasks as important classrooms for tempering a strong Party spirit. Vigorously promote the practice of investigation and research, go deep into the grassroots and among the masses, treat the voices of the masses as the first signal, realize, safeguard, and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. Establish a correct view of political achievements, resolutely rectify the problems of misplaced views on political achievements and lack of sense of responsibility, persist in inspecting and identifying officials in practice, and embody the achievements of Party spirit tempering in the actual results of undertaking work and starting businesses
Persist in using disciplinary supervision to rectify oneself, cultivating Party spirit in the combination of self-discipline and heteronomy. Party spirit, Party conduct, and Party discipline are an organic whole; if Party spirit is pure, Party conduct is upright; if Party discipline is strict, Party spirit is strong. We must regard learning, observing, and implementing the Party Constitution and Party regulations, Party discipline as an important component of Party spirit cultivation, guide Party membersand officials to internalize disciplinary rules into speech and conduct norms that are used daily without conscious awareness. Integrity and honesty are not passive requirements under external constraints, but an important manifestation of the purity of the Party spirit of Communists. Only by establishing integrity and self-discipline on the basis of a strong Party spirit can one truly achieve the state of not being moved in the heart by the temptation of small gains and not being dazzled in the eyes by the temptations of the five colors. Persist in grasping Party spirit, Party conduct, and Party discipline together, connecting the rectification of work style, the strict enforcement of discipline, and the fight against corruption, both using discipline to restrain behavior and using Party spirit to strengthen the foundation and revitalize the essence
The deeper one studies, the firmer one's belief; the stricter one's self-discipline, the more upright one's conduct;the longer one tempers, the firmer one's Party spirit. If Party spirit is strong, then beliefs are firm and actions are powerful;if Party spirit is pure, then work style is excellent and the cause prospers. Persisting in tempering a strong Party spirit is a required course for Chinese Communists in the new era to forever maintain their political character, and is the fundamental requirement for a long-term governing Marxist political party to forever maintain its advanced nature and purity. The vast majority of Party membersand officials must regard Party spirit cultivation as a lifelong subject, cast the soul in theoretical armed forces, temper themselves in political training, sharpen their minds in serving the people, rectify themselves in disciplinary constraints, and manifest themselves in action in taking responsibility, continuously transforming a strong Party spirit into a powerful force for advancing Chinese modernization

General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized: "We must participate in global climate governance with a more proactive stance, forging a new situation that is more proactive and favorable," and "The international community should grasp the correct direction, hold firm to confidence without wavering, continue action without stopping, and maintain intensity without weakening, promote the formulation and implementation of nationally determined contributions, and inject more positive energy into cooperation in global climate governance." The "15th Five-Year Plan" outline proposes: "Actively participate in and lead global climate governance, uphold the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, comprehensively implement the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement, and deepen South-South cooperation on climate change." The《National Climate Change Response "15th Five-Year Plan"》was issued not long ago, proposing:"Constructively lead the multilateral governance process for addressing climate change." We must deeply study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech spirit, implement the deployments of the "15th Five-Year Plan" outline and the《National Climate Change Response "15th Five-Year Plan"》, better practice the Global Governance Initiative, actively participate in and lead global climate governance, and promote global climate and environmental governance to develop in a direction that is more fair, reasonable, cooperative, and win-win.
Lead the multilateral governance process for addressing climate change. At present, global climate governance has already transcended the scope of traditional environmental governance, gradually becoming an important issue involving economic development, energy security, industrial competition, international order, and global equity. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement are the basic legal guidance for international society's cooperative response to climate change. China has proposed the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind and the Global Governance Initiative, providing important conceptual support for promoting reform of the global governance system, and also providing a new direction for leading a new pattern of global climate governance. Facing challenges such as the rise of protectionism in global climate governance, intensified geopolitical conflicts, and certain countries repeatedly withdrawing from the Paris Agreement or weakening climate commitments, we must firmly uphold the main-channel status of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement, and promote comprehensive, effective, and sustained implementation. In the current context where global climate governance faces uncertainty, it is necessary to continuously enhance the execution and communication capacity of existing global climate governance mechanisms, avoid falling into disorderly competition and imbalance of responsibilities, and create a stable institutional environment for the global green low-carbon transition. Pay greater attention to the inclusiveness and openness of cooperation mechanisms, as well as the fairness of governance rules and the sharing of development fruits, avoiding the formation of a governance model in which a few countries dominate and the majority of countries passively accept. Further improve the supervision and evaluation mechanisms, funding coordination mechanisms, and technical cooperation mechanisms in global climate governance, prevent the trend of fragmentation in the field of global climate governance from intensifying, and help form more stable and long-term cooperation expectations within the institutional framework. Adhere to maintaining the stable operation of multilateral mechanisms through concrete actions, promote the realization of a new round of nationally determined contribution goals, and contribute to building a fair, reasonable, cooperative, and win-win global climate governance system.
Promote the enhancement of global climate governance capacity. Climate governance is not merely a question of emission reduction, but rather a question of systemic transformation of development models, industrial structures, and governance capacity. At present, green low-carbon development has become an important direction of global economic competition, and a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating breakthroughs, promoting the reconstruction of energy systems, manufacturing systems, and consumption systems. In this process, global South countries, due to relatively insufficient funds, technology, and governance capacity, face greater pressure in the green transition. Promoting the enhancement of global climate governance capacity, the key lies in strengthening green technology sharing and green capacity building, helping global South countries improve their green development capacity. In recent years, China has continuously increased its supply of green international public goods, through platforms such as high-quality Belt and Road Initiative cooperation, sharing green development experience, actively promoting international cooperation in clean energy, green infrastructure, and ecological environment governance, helping relevant countries enhance their green development capacity and climate change response capacity. Further dismantle policy barriers, promote the coordinated development of green technology, green industry, green trade, green investment, and green finance, enhance the ability of global South countries to access green technology and green financing, and promote global climate governance to truly realize the transformation from "passive emission reduction" to "proactive development." Strengthen policy coordination, experience exchange, and capacity building cooperation in global climate governance, and promote the formation of a multi-stakeholder governance system involving governments, international organizations, enterprises, research institutions, and the public.
Continue to carry out South-South cooperation on addressing climate change. Addressing climate change is highly global in nature, but countries exhibit significant differences in historical emission levels, development stages, resource endowments, and governance capacity; advancing global climate governance must uphold the unity of fairness and development rights. We must uphold genuine multilateralism, promote strengthened communication and coordination among countries at different development stages, and seek dynamic balance between development and emission reduction, efficiency and fairness, security and transition. The principle of common but differentiated responsibilities is an important institutional arrangement for safeguarding the reasonable development rights and interests of global South countries in the field of global climate governance. As the world's largest developing country, China has always insisted on combining its own development with the common development of the world, actively practicing the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, and while continuously advancing domestic green low-carbon development, through cooperation in infrastructure, green technology, talent training, green industry, and other aspects, helping global South countries enhance their capacity to address climate change, creating a model of South-South cooperation in the field of global climate governance.

Cities are an important carrier of modernization and an important field for young people to pursue a better life and realize the value of life. On July 15 this year, during his inspection tour in Shanghai, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must fully practice the people's city concept, adhere to asking the people for their needs, asking the people for their plans, and asking the people for their results, do deeper, finer, and more solid work in all aspects of urban renewal, and continuously enhance residents' sense of gain, sense of happiness, and sense of security." In April this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and other 15 departments jointly issued the Opinions on Deepening the Construction of Youth Development-Oriented Cities and Assisting in Building Modern People's Cities, clearly proposing to comprehensively integrate the promotion of youth development into the entire process and all fields of urban work, systematically optimizing the development environment for young people to "be able to come in, be able to stay, be able to live securely, and be able to build a career." Deepening the construction of youth development-oriented cities, systematically optimizing the youth development environment, making cities more friendly to young people and making young people more capable in cities, is the concrete unfolding and vivid practice of the people's city concept in the field of youth work.
Deepening the construction of youth development-oriented cities is an inherent requirement for following the laws of urban modernization and practicing the people's city concept. From the perspective of theoretical logic, youth development-oriented cities contain the dialectical relationship of mutual coexistence and mutual prosperity between people and the city. People are the subjects of the city, and the logical starting point and value destination of urban development have always been people. Young people are in the critical period of life growth; as a group with dense needs, strong plasticity, and huge development potential, young people are not only users of urban space, but also shapers of urban civilization. In the past, urban development in some regions long placed excessive emphasis on "investment in things" such as hardware infrastructure and industrial expansion. In the new era, promoting the construction of youth development-oriented cities is essentially promoting a deep transformation of urban development from thing-centered to people-centered, realizing a shift from placing excessive emphasis on "investing in things" to "closely combining investing in things with investing in people." From the perspective of practical logic, entering the stage of high-quality development, China's urban development needs to shift from relying on the demographic dividend to relying on the talent dividend, from pursuing economies of scale to stimulating innovation dividends. Young people, as the most innovative and dynamic group, are the key variable in the conversion of old and new urban growth drivers and the iterative upgrading of industries. When cities can pave growth tracks for young people and build development stages for them, young people can also inject vitality into cities and accumulate momentum for them; this two-way empowerment and mutual achievement is precisely the development logic of a modern people's city.
In recent years, various localities have actively explored the construction of youth development-oriented cities, with remarkable results. In terms of "being able to come in," youth stations in various localities have improved their site layouts in light of local conditions, enriched service content, and optimized operating models, providing convenience for young people seeking employment in other places; in terms of "being able to stay," various localities have continuously improved the system of providing basic public services to permanent residents, continuously optimizing policy measures such as educational support for children accompanying migrant workers; in terms of "being able to live securely," Shanghai, Beijing and other places have built a tiered housing guarantee system from "one bed" to "one room" and then to "one apartment"; in terms of "being able to build a career," Suzhou in Jiangsu, Hangzhou in Zhejiang and other places have built "doorstep" employment service stations, entrepreneurship incubation platforms, etc., while Changsha in Hunan, Guiyang in Guizhou and other places have opened "youth night schools" to help improve skills. Practice has shown that the construction of youth development-oriented cities has moved from concept to action. At the same time, enabling cities to better fulfill young people still faces multiple practical constraints: hidden barriers in medical security, children's education, cross-regional use of housing provident funds, and other aspects still exist; indemnificatory housing is mostly distributed on the urban periphery, and the separation of workplace and residence causes relatively high commuting costs; local talent attraction places excessive emphasis on short-term subsidies, while insufficient attention is paid to the construction of job platforms that support long-term development; the supply of soft services such as psychological counseling, dating and matchmaking, flexible employment security, etc. is insufficient, young people's channels for participating in urban decision-making and governance are limited, and their sense of belonging and sense of gain need to be improved
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized:"Urban work must establish systematic thinking." To solve practical problems and promote the overall optimization of the youth development environment, it is necessary to replace fragmented governance with systematic thinking and establish a cross-field, cross-department, full-cycle policy coordination mechanism. Smooth the "being able to come in" channel and remove hidden barriers to integration. Incorporate youth development demand indicators into urban physical examination standards, and create youth-friendly spaces in urban renewal; explore ways of allocating public service resources that better match the size, structure, and needs of the permanent population, and promote the equalization of basic public services; promote the "youth card" integrated service, and establish a cross-regional, cross-department "one-stop" service mechanism. Strengthen "being able to stay" by improving soft services and mechanisms for participating in urban governance. Fill the shortcomings of soft services such as psychological counseling, dating and matchmaking, inclusive childcare, flexible employment security, etc., and build youth-friendly communities; broaden channels for young people to participate in urban decision-making and governance, promote carriers such as youth councils and youth wisdom groups, and follow the mass line on the internet. Consolidate "being able to live securely" by building a tiered housing security system. Coordinate the planning and layout of indemnificatory housing, promote the balance between workplace and residence; targeting the housing needs of young people at different stages, deepen the tiered guarantee of "one bed, one room, one apartment," explore policies such as home purchase support and tiered subsidies dynamically linked to individual contributions; comprehensively apply combined subsidies for childcare, commuting, and inclusive consumption, and reduce young people's comprehensive cost of living through multi-field linkage. Support "being able to build a career" by expanding high-quality space for achieving success. Shift the focus of talent attraction from "giving subsidies" to "giving jobs," coordinate the promotion of upgrading traditional industries, expanding emerging industries, and cultivating future industries, create more high-quality jobs matching young people's professional expertise; improve the precision of matching employment training with market demand, improve the mechanisms for discovering, selecting, cultivating, and using young innovative talents and the fault-tolerance mechanism for innovation and entrepreneurship, so that cities truly become fertile soil for young people to grow, develop talents, live securely, and build careers

With combined land, sea, air, and rail transport, digital-intelligent transportation empowering industry, urban travel services upgrading, and logistics expanding overseas... Stepping into the transport and business services special exhibition area of the 2026 CIFTIS, the array of new technologies, new products, and new scenarios left visitors with an overwhelming variety of things to take in (应接不暇, ying jie bu xia - "respond, accept, not, able").
At the Beijing Subway booth, visitors were queuing in front of the simulated driving cabin. At present, the total operating mileage of Beijing's rail transit has reached 909 kilometers. "Empowering operations with technology, our smart station construction is iterating from 1.0 to 2.0." Zhang Huirong, an engineer at the Beijing Subway Technology Innovation Research Institute, introduced that, based on the self-developed IoT data foundation, targeting more than 10 types of scenarios including large passenger flows and wheelchair travel, the upgraded system can provide real-time monitoring and issue alerts. "As a demonstration station for Smart Station 2.0, Wangfujing Station's patrol efficiency has increased by 50%, and emergency response efficiency has increased by more than 40%." Zhang Huirong said.
In the exhibition area, a yellow-and-white train model was surrounded by visitors —it is the "Yellow Doctor" as railway enthusiasts call it, specially performing "physical examinations" for the high-speed rail system.
"The train can reach a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and our inspection equipment must also operate under real working conditions, using this speed to conduct inspections." Wang Hao, director of the Technology R&D Department at Beijing Tieke Yingmai Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that, relying on independent core technologies such as inertial measurement, three-dimensional vision, radar perception, and AI (artificial intelligence) large-model recognition, the high-speed comprehensive inspection train developed by the company has already achieved the capability of constant-speed inspection at 450 kilometers per hour.
The inspection train guards "speed," while the Hebei Land Port booth showcased "connectivity." Relying on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei land port cluster, Hebei Land Port Group, in coordination with Beijing Daxing International Airport and coastal ports, has vigorously developed a road-rail-sea multimodal transport system, building a two-way circulation channel for regional industries going overseas and bulk commodity imports. "From the earlier strollers and towels, to today's new energy vehicles and smart home appliances, high-value-added products are increasing more and more." Wang Chuanmeng, executive director of Hebei Land Port Group and general manager of Beijing International Land Port, introducedthat, since its commissioning in March 2025, Beijing International Land Port, located in Fangshan District, has achieved stable weekly operation of China-Europe and China-Central Asia freight trains, with its logistics network covering more than 20 countries across Asia and Europe.
Green transport is a major highlight of this year's CIFTIS. Focusing on the green transport of shifting freight from road to rail, Beijing Jingu Zhitong Green Chain Technology Co., Ltd. brought multiple new achievements: the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei sand-and-gravel aggregate centralized procurement and transport platform, achieving full-chain traceability of sand-and-gravel aggregates from production, transport, to sales, already covering more than 60% of Beijing's commercial concrete mixing stations; the Jingu Zhiyun platform upgrade, through AI dispatch and decision assistance, improving operational efficiency by more than 50%...
Intelligentization and unmanned operation are the trends in the transformation of the delivery and logistics industry. Drones, unmanned vehicles, robot dogs, embodied robots... China Post Express Logistics has moved its "air-ground integrated" smart logistics network into the exhibition booth. "Turning the 'last mile' into the 'fastest mile'." Lu Xiaotong, head of the Marketing Management Office at the Market Department of China Post Express Logistics Co., Ltd., introducedthat, "Since 2016, we have opened more than 310 routes, closely connecting diverse scenarios such as urban delivery, rural mountain areas, island transport, and cold-chain pharmaceuticals, with single-route transport efficiency improved by more than 60%."

On September 9, the container ship "Burj Khalifa" slowly sailed into the United Kingdom's Port of Tees. After a 20-day ocean voyage, it was fully loaded with "Made in China" goods — energy storage cabinets, power batteries, photovoltaic modules, and more — having departed from Ningbo Zhoushan Port in Zhejiang, traversed the Bering Strait, entered the Northeast Passage of the Arctic, and arrived at the European market on schedule.
After the "Burj Khalifa" set sail, from August to October this year at least 8 fixed voyages will be arranged, with 7 to 8 ships rotating on duty, and the "China-Europe Arctic Express" has entered normalized operation. From completing its first trial voyage last September, to now formally achieving weekly scheduled service, a northbound logistics corridor linking Asia and Europe has formally taken shape.
On July 15, a promotional conference for the China-Europe Arctic Express was held in Ningbo, formally releasing the seasonal weekly scheduled product to the public. Ningbo Zhoushan Port, together with Haijie Shipping and multiple other parties, coordinated domestic trade routes and the sea-rail intermodal network, providing customers with end-to-end logistics services from source collection to destination distribution.
Detouring through the Arctic — is this taking a circuitous route instead of a direct one (舍近求远, she jin qiu yuan - "abandon near, seek far")? The facts say otherwise. A data comparison makes it more intuitive —
First look at voyage distance: the "China-Europe Arctic Express" route is approximately 8,000 nautical miles, compared with the Suez Canal route and the Cape of Good Hope route, saving approximately 3,000 nautical miles and 6,800 nautical miles respectively. Then calculate voyage time:the "China-Europe Arctic Express" full voyage takes about 20 days, compared with the Suez Canal route and the Cape of Good Hope route, reducing 15 days and 25 days respectively.
Shorter distance and faster transit time mean lower logistics costs. "A shorter transportation cycle reduces inventory occupancy for goods, effectively activating working capital, and better suits high-timeliness demand goods such as cross-border e-commerce." Said Fang Yi, chief executive officer of Haijie Shipping.
The value of the Arctic route goes beyond just "faster." First, it is a natural "cold chain." "The Arctic route is low-temperature throughout, which is more friendly to heat-sensitive cargo such as batteries. It can both reduce the risk of cargo damage and cut refrigeration costs." Said Fan Zhiguo, logistics planning director of cargo owner company Huizhou EVE Energy.
The route is also a low-carbon corridor. According to estimates, compared with the Suez Canal route, carbon dioxide emissions per single voyage on the Arctic route are reduced by about 50%. At the same time, ships on the Arctic route use clean fuels, highly compatible with the demand for green going-global.
Feng Xiaoling, professor at the School of Shipping Economics and Management, Dalian Maritime University, said that unlike trial voyages' "sail whenever there is cargo," liner service means "departing on a fixed schedule" — fixed voyages, multiple port calls, public booking, which means Arctic container transport has moved from the feasibility verification stage into the normalized commercial operation stage. For cargo owners, the Arctic route can thus be incorporated into supply chain planning.
Having taken many years, how was the new route "opened up"? "'The China-Europe Arctic Express' was able to develop because of the combined effect of multiple factors — the navigation environment, the situation of maritime passageways, transport demand, and others." Said Shang Hui, director of the Institute of Transport International Issues at the China International Sustainable Transport Innovation and Knowledge Center.
Looking at "heaven's timing":due to global warming, ice melting on the Arctic route has become faster, and meteorological and ice conditions are more favorable for conducting Arctic navigation. Looking at "earth's advantage":geopolitical conflicts on traditional routes continue to escalate, and the market demand for supply chain diversification keeps growing.
An even more important variable is the transformation of China-Europe trade structure. "For a route to open, the key is having cargo." Said Feng Xiaoling. ""The 'new three items,'" high-end manufacturing, e-commerce products, and other goods are seeing strong export growth; these goods, which require low-temperature transport and have high timeliness requirements, provide ample cargo support for the 'China-Europe Arctic Express.'"
Pinpointing the navigable window period, optimizing intelligent route scheduling algorithms; responding to sea ice conditions, preparing multi-class ice-class vessels; responding to magnetic field interference, equipping professional navigation systems… Years of trial voyage experience have given polar navigation stronger technical support.
"In the next 3 to 5 years, we plan to achieve stable navigation of about 4 months per year; in 5 to 10 years, we will strive to achieve the goal of year-round navigation." Said Fang Yi.
During interviews, many interviewees said that the development of the Arctic route still faces multiple constraints —
First, the navigation window period is short. "Currently, vessels with low and medium ice classes can only achieve basic navigability from July to October; the Arctic route can only serve as a seasonal supplementary corridor, making it difficult to meet cargo owners' demand for stable year-round shipments." Said Shang Hui. Extending the navigation window period requires increasing R&D investment in high-ice-class vessels and gradually raising the transport capacity of high-ice-class vessels.
Second, operating costs are relatively high. "Due to the polar environment, voyages require icebreaker escort, crew members must complete specialized training, and on top of that, the use of low-sulfur fuel — together these push up the route's operating costs." Analyzed Zhang Ming, business supervisor at the marketing center of Zhejiang Sea Port Logistics Group. For high-value-added, time-sensitive cargo, the Arctic Express offers the best overall returns, but for low-value-added bulk ordinary goods, it is not suitable at the current stage.
Third, return-direction cargo is insufficient. "Cargo from China to Europe is relatively sufficient, but cargo on the return leg is relatively weak, and round-trip cabin space is not balanced." Zhang Ming believes that at the current stage, the positioning of the Arctic route is as a supplementary express service for China-Europe maritime shipping. As voyage frequency increases and return-direction cargo improves, costs are expected to continue declining in the future.
Despite facing numerous difficulties or challenges (挑战重重, tiao zhan chong chong -"challenge, layer upon layer"), this does not hinder the industry's assessment of the Arctic Express's value.
In the long run, "this route connects domestic industrial hinterland on one end and European consumer demand on the other; as voyage frequency expands, it has the potential to develop into a 'third corridor' for China-Europe logistics." Proposed Gu Jinshan, president of the China Ports Association. The route's domestic cargo-collecting ports cover Dalian, Taicang, and multiple other ports; in the future, cargo from the Central Plains region and northern inland areas can also board the Arctic Express via rail-water intermodal transport.
With technology, market, and support systems all making efforts on multiple fronts, and with shipping companies, cargo owners, and ports coordinating across multiple actors, this "high-speed corridor" of China-Europe logistics will grow ever wider, painting a new picture for global shipping.

Upholding political guidance, keeping the course true amid forging the soul and empowering the mission
General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized: "Working with utmost diligence and care (兢兢业业, jing jing ye ye - "fearfully, cautiously, diligently"), means establishing the lofty sentiment of dedicating oneself to the cause of the Party and the people, concentrating all one's attention (聚精会神, ju jing hui shen - "gather, essence, concentrate, spirit") on fulfilling the sacred duties entrusted by the Party and the people, working hard and earnestly, not seeking empty achievements, working extremely hard from dawn till dusk (夙兴夜寐, su xing ye mei - "early, rise; late, sleep"), diligently performing one's duties, repaying the trust and heavy entrustment of the Party and the people with first-class achievements." As a military industrial central enterprise, safeguarding national security, forging the "great instruments of the state," and tempering the "airborne sharp sword" is an unavoidable responsibility (义不容辞, yi bu rong ci - "righteousness, not, allow, words") for AVIC.
Holding firm the political direction is the fundamental prerequisite. The Party's leadership is the source of confidence for the aviation industry's leapfrog development and opening up new horizons. We must adhere to the political essence that "central enterprises belong to the Party," continuously iterate and upgrade the closed-loop control mechanism for implementing the "first agenda item" that runs through all levels from top to bottom. We must organically integrate the Party's leadership into every aspect of corporate governance, solidly and forcefully ensure that the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and directives takes effect and produces results, and with concrete actions firmly support the Two Establishments (两个确立) and resolutely achieve the Two Upholds (两个维护), ensuring that the Party Central Committee's decisions and arrangements are implemented in the aviation industry unswervingly and without compromise (不折不扣, bu zhe bu kou - "not, break, not, deduct").
Fulfilling the primary responsibility of strengthening the military is the core mission. We must focus on building an advanced aviation equipment system that covers all dimensions and spans across domains, that intimidates adversaries and prevails in combat, accurately grasping the evolving trends of the new round of military revolution and the transformation of warfare forms. By improving equipment combat effectiveness and system-of-systems operational capability, we will erect an unbreakable aerial Great Wall for the motherland, provide strong support for advancing national defense and military modernization with high quality and safeguarding national interests, and truly shoulder the heavy responsibility of ensuring national security.
Serving the overall situation of modernization is the responsibility and commitment. The aviation industry must fully implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and directives, integrate the building of an aviation power into the planning and advancement of the two overall situations. We must strive to build a modern aviation industry system with rational layout and strong competitiveness, forge powerful aviation equipment manufacturing capabilities, and on this basis build powerful air armed forces, aviation transportation, and aviation operations capabilities.

Faced with a suspicious app, Aunt Li, who lives in Fengxian District, Shanghai, could not immediately tell whether it was genuine or fake. The police officer who came to her door to dissuade her saw that Aunt Li was indecisive and wavering (犹豫不决, you yu bu jue - "hesitate, not, decide"), and that there was still a risk of her transferring money, so he immediately took out his phone and used the "National Anti-Fraud AI" APP to query it.
"Is this 'Cheng Yuan Zhi Xin' APP legitimate?" After receiving the instruction, the intelligent agent quickly analyzed and gave its conclusion: "This is very likely a scam." At the same time, the "National Anti-Fraud AI" APP pushed a video case of telecom fraud, and the intuitive and clear analysis results completely dispelled Aunt Li's intention to transfer money.
In order to further improve the informatization and intelligentization level of work to prevent telecom and network fraud, and help the masses effectively identify fraud and prevent fraud, recently, under the guidance of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the "National Anti-Fraud AI" APP, independently developed by the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, was officially launched.
The "National Anti-Fraud AI" APP has three major functions. First, AI large-model intelligent Q&A. After a user asks a question, the system will answer from multiple dimensions such as fraud risk analysis and fraud type identification, and simultaneously link related video cases, providing users with real-time services for learning anti-fraud knowledge and judging fraud-related scenarios. Second, anti-fraud information. It embeds content from the National Anti-Fraud Center and Shanghai's "803" anti-fraud new-media matrix, regularly updates and publishes anti-fraud developments, warnings of high-incidence fraud types, and analyses of typical case techniques, allowing users to promptly understand new forms of fraud through the form of "images+text + short videos." Third, an anti-fraud "dictionary." It embeds the electronic versions of the "Handbook on Preventing Telecom and Network Fraud Publicity" and the "National Guide to Fraud Prevention," allowing users to systematically learn anti-fraud knowledge through categorized browsing, keyword search, and voice reading aloud.
Currently, the "National Anti-Fraud AI" APP can be downloaded and used from major mobile app markets, and WeChat and Alipay mini-programs have also been launched simultaneously.

"This batch of bamboo shoots is truly beautiful." On a rainy morning, Jiang Hongrang, a bamboo shoot farmer in Paibian Village, Putian Town, Jiedong District, Jieyang, Guangdong, bent down to examine the "bamboo babies" breaking through the soil.
The fresh bamboo shoots produced in Jiedong District enjoy a fine reputation. However, starting in the 1990s, as the scale of planting grew larger and larger, problems followed. Ma bamboo shoots, when just dug up in the early morning, are crisp, tender, fresh, and sweet, but by evening, the shoot fibers rapidly age and the texture turns hard. Every year from May to September is the high-yield season for ma bamboo shoots, and a large quantity of fresh shoots cannot be sold in time, only to rot in the fields. With supply exceeding demand (供大于求, gong da yu qiu -"supply, exceed, demand, less than"), bamboo shoot prices were repeatedly pushed down.
Where was the way out? Local villagers pondered how to "lock in freshness," which gave rise to ways of eating ma bamboo shoots beyond fresh shoots —shoot jerky and dried bamboo shoots.
Jiang Hongrang started a small workshop at his home. For customers at relatively close distances within the province, he can directly send fresh bamboo shoots with shells on, or he can peel the shoots, take the shoot flesh, make it into shoot jerky, vacuum-seal it, and then mail it. The remaining fresh shoots are boiled the same day, sun-dried into dried bamboo shoots, and sent to various places. "Our bamboo shoots are sold to more than 20 provinces." Jiang Hongrang said. He grows more than 10 mu of bamboo shoot fields, and relying on primary processing, his income rises steadily. However, agriculture is greatly affected by climate, and situations such as unsalable stock and low yields occur from time to time, bringing considerable uncertainty.
The turning point came from the local area's development planning for the bamboo shoot industry.
In recent years, Jiedong District has continuously improved infrastructure such as bamboo forest irrigation facilities, industrial roads, and cold-chain storage, guided the establishment of leading agricultural enterprises, promoted the integrated development model of"industrial park + leading enterprise + bamboo shoot association + cooperative + farmer households," and built the"Putian Bamboo Shoot" regional public brand. Qingyuan Agricultural Planting and Breeding Base Co., Ltd. in Putian Town, Jieyang City, is one of these leading agricultural enterprises.
After Qingyuan Agriculture was established in 2011, it grasped planting on one hand, promoting standardized planting of ma bamboo shoots, setting up more than 20 purchasing points across the district, giving bamboo shoot farmers a place to sell their surplus shoots; on the other hand, it strengthened processing, building large factory buildings, cold storage, automated soft-packaging production lines, independently developing automatic shell-peeling equipment, continuously refining the freshness-locking process, and developing products such as canned bamboo shoots and clear-water bamboo shoots. "The company's annual product output is approximately 6,000 tons, with exports accounting for 80 percent; products such as clear-water bamboo shoot shreds and shoot dices are sold to more than 40 countries and regions." Xu Zequn, the company's sales director, introduced.
The growth and expansion of Qingyuan Agriculture has also driven income increases for more than 300 surrounding farmer households. "I have worked here for 6 years. It's close to home, so I can take care of my family and work at the same time without neglecting either (两不误, liang bu wu -"two, not, miss"), earning 6,000 yuan every month." Said Xu Yanfen, a villager sorting boiled bamboo shoots in the workshop.
A single bamboo shoot—the industrial chain keeps extending. In recent years, as Guangdong Province's"Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, Ten Thousand Villages High-Quality Development Project" has been advanced in depth, Jiedong District has been excavating bamboo shoot culture and creating new tourism scenarios. Relying on the ecological resources of ten thousand mu of bamboo forests and a hundred years of bamboo shoot food culture, Jiedong District promotes deep integration of bamboo planting, bamboo processing, and bamboo tourism, building bamboo forest ecological sightseeing routes, leisure footpaths, and viewing platforms, launching immersive programs such as fresh shoot digging experiences and bamboo shoot processing observation; it has successively held multiple bamboo shoot culture festivals, using events such as the Shoot King Competition and cooking contests to gather popularity and build the brand. Putian Town, in particular, has actively developed the catering and tourism industries with the bamboo shoot industry as its distinguishing feature. By the end of 2025, Putian Town had more than 120 restaurants featuring ma bamboo shoots as their main specialty, and tourism projects such as planting-and-breeding farms and agritourism farms had been launched one after another.
Bamboo shoots take root in the native soil, the industry grows and rises like bamboo, and also upholds the people's happy lives. Last year, Jiedong District's bamboo shoot planting area exceeded 60,000 mu, with output reaching 183,000 tons; planting, processing, sales, and cultural tourism all exerted effort together, with the economic benefits of the entire industrial chain reaching approximately 1.8 billion yuan.
Return to Top(People's Daily, Macao, September 10) (Reporters Fu Zimei, Li Hongmei) The China Meteorological Administration, the Macao Special Administrative Region, and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin have jointly co-built, and China's first international exchange center for Earth system data officially commenced construction on September 10 in the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin.
The three parties signed a framework cooperation agreement for joint construction, clarifying a 3-year construction period anda 3-year operation period, to build an international exchange center for Earth system data (Macao) in Hengqin. This move aims to further cultivate and build an ecosystem for the development and utilization of data elements, build a bridge for Earth system data cooperation, create a high-level platform for opening up to the outside world, promote the export of high-quality data products and service capabilities, form the unified national market for Earth system data elements in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, empower the development of new quality productive forces such as the digital economy in the cooperation zone and the appropriately diversified economic development of Macao, and contribute Chinese strength to global data governance and digital development.
As the "new oil" of the intelligent era, Earth system data possesses the unique advantages of full-domain coverage, whole-process penetration, and all-time availability; its integration with rich production and life scenarios increasingly makes it a core production factor and important strategic resource supporting the development of the digital economy. Chen Zhenlin, Director of the China Meteorological Administration, stated that the International Exchange Center for Earth System Data(Macao) is the first data exchange center built by the China Meteorological Administration according to its overall layout; the tripartite joint construction is both an inevitable or logical requirement (题中应有之义, ti zhong ying you zhi yi - "topic, within, should, have, meaning") for meteorological services serving major national strategies and serving the diversified development of Macao's industries, and also a concrete action to advance the high-quality development of China's meteorology and promote the global landing application of China's meteorological intelligent early-warning scheme "Mazu". The China Meteorological Administration will fully support it, building it into an important platform for implementing the concept of global data governance, an industry benchmark for the secure cross-border flow of data elements, anda strategic window for high-level opening up to the outside world.
The meteorological science-and-technology cooperation between the mainland and Macao has a deep foundation, having established sound mechanisms and accumulated valuable experience in joint facility construction, data sharing, joint disaster prevention and control, and innovation collaboration. The tripartite joint construction can fully realize complementary advantages: the China Meteorological Administration possesses the comprehensive advantages of highly efficient governance, high-level development, and digital-intelligence services for global Earth system data resources; the Macao Special Administrative Region possesses an internationalized platform, cooperation networks connecting Portuguese-and Spanish-speaking countries, and an open business environment;the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin has a unique location, being a digital good harbor for exploring the integrated innovation of data elements and supporting high-level opening up to the outside world.
The three parties will fully leverage their respective resource advantages, jointly advance the construction and operation of this center, consolidate the infrastructure foundation for cross-border data exchange and circulation, and optimize "hard connectivity"; innovate policy mechanisms for the cross-border circulation and use of Earth system data, and solidify "soft connectivity"; explore the deep alignment and coordination of weather forecasting and early-warning services between Hengqin and Macao, and jointly weave "heart connectivity".
Return to Top(People's Daily, Beijing, September 10) (Reporter Wang Hao) On September 10, in accordance with the 2026 impoundment plan for the Three Gorges Reservoir approved by the Ministry of Water Resources, the annual impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir was officially initiated,and the impoundment of the cluster of control reservoirs on the upper Yangtze River was also advancing in an orderly and coordinated manner.
Since the beginning of this year,overall inflow to the Yangtze River Basin has been on the dry side; during the main flood season from June to August,precipitation and inflow in the Yangtze River Basin were about 10 percent below the multi-year average,and inflow to the upper Yangtze River was nearly 30 percent below. According to medium-and long-term hydrological and meteorological forecasts,from September to October,precipitation on the upper Yangtze River will be normal to slightly below normal,and inflow will be about 20 percent below normal,posing considerable challenges to the later-stage impoundment of the upstream reservoir cluster and to the assurance of water supply for basin water supply,irrigation,ecology,navigation,power generation,and other uses.
To respond to the sustained low-flow situation,under the overall coordination and guidance of the Ministry of Water Resources,the Changjiang Water Resources Commission has adhered to early deployment,early scheduling,and early reserve,and,while strictly holding the line on the flood-control safety bottom line,has timely initiated the work of reserving drought-relief water sources in the cluster of control reservoirs on the upper Yangtze River.
.
During this year's flood season,the Changjiang Water Resources Commission has adhered to coordinated prevention and coordinated management of both drought and flood;while doing well in flood control,it has optimized flood utilization,and,through a series of refined scheduling measures such as efficiently utilizing floodwater resources and dynamically regulating reservoir operation water levels,has reserved drought-relief water sources in advance. In July,it scheduled the cluster of control reservoirs on the upper Yangtze River to reserve drought-relief water sources of 7.5 billion cubic meters in advance,and by the end of August,further raised this to 15 billion cubic meters. The ample water-source reserve in the earlier stage effectively safeguarded urban and rural domestic water supply in the middle and lower Yangtze,and the rigid irrigation needs of summer grain crops,and also laid a solid foundation for this impoundment work.
Since August,the Changjiang Water Resources Commission has continuously kept a close eye on changes in basin rainfall and water conditions,rolled forward its assessment of the drought-flood situation,refined measures for impoundment and water-supply assurance,organized the compilation and rolling update of the impoundment plan for the cluster of control reservoirs on the upper Yangtze River and the 2026 impoundment plan for the Three Gorges Reservoir,and efficiently completed the approval of the impoundment plans for the cascade reservoirs on the lower Jinsha River. At 8:00 on September 10,the water level of the Three Gorges Reservoir was 159.21 meters,basically on par with the average of the same period over the past three years.
.
In the next step,the Changjiang Water Resources Commission will continue its working approach of precise scheduling and scientific control,continuously strengthen monitoring and early warning of basin rainfall and water conditions,dynamically optimize scheduling plans and impoundment rhythms,steadily and orderly advance the impoundment process of the reservoir cluster,and make every possible effort to complete the annual impoundment task,effectively building a solid defense line for the assurance of water-use safety across multiple domains — water supply,irrigation,ecology,navigation,power generation,and others — in the Yangtze River Basin for this winter and next spring.

Return to Top(People's Daily, Beijing, September 10) (Reporter: Pan Junqiang) On September 10, the 26th session of the Standing Committee of the 16th Beijing Municipal People's Congress conducted its first deliberation on the "Beijing Municipal Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution (Draft)." The "Draft Regulations" consist of 7 chapters and 52 articles, and propose to strengthen source prevention and control of noise, strictly manage nighttime construction, clarify responsibilities for the governance of transportation and transport noise, and, targeting different scenarios such as commercial operations, recreational and fitness activities in public places, and indoor decoration, refine measures for the governance of social-life noise.
The prevention and control of noise pollution is closely related (息息相关, xi xi xiang guan - "breath, breath, connect, relate") to the people, and has increasingly become a matter of concern to society andthe broad masses of the people.
Since the Beijing municipal government regulation, the"Beijing Municipal Measures for the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution," took effect in 2007, Beijing's noise pollution prevention and control work has achieved certain results. However, with rapid economic and social development, the situation for noise pollution prevention and control in Beijing has undergone major changes, and noise-related complaints have become one of the concentrated hot spots among complaints in the environmental field. The original regulation has become difficult to adapt to the requirements of refined governance of a super-large city in the new era.
According to the introduction of the Urban-Rural Construction and Environmental Protection Office of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, since 2023, the Beijing 12345 citizen service hotline has received more than 694,000 noise pollution complaints, and among them, complaints about prominent problems such as neighborhood noise, decoration noise, and traffic noise account for more than half of the total. This legislation focuses on Beijing's concentrated areas of noise pollution andweak links in supervision, and, targeting key anddifficult issues such as nighttime construction disturbance, comprehensive governance of traffic noise, and noise control in public places, formulates practical andfeasible institutional measures, uses institutional rigidity to break through long-standing governance bottlenecks, andstrives to build a co-governance system in which noise-emitting units bear primary responsibility, government departments conduct coordinated supervision, grassroots organizations provide assistance andcooperation, andthe public jointly upholds order.
The"Draft Regulations" further move the gate of noise pollution prevention and control forward, proposing to strengthen source control at the links of planning formulation, project site selection, engineering design, construction, andacceptance, so as to avoid, as far as possible, the need to govern after noise pollution has already been generated. When determining construction layout, it is necessary to, in accordance with national acoustic environment quality standards andrelevant standards for sound insulation design of civil buildings, reasonably delineate noise prevention distances between buildings andtraffic arteries, andbetween noise-sensitive buildings andlarge-scale transportation infrastructure andindustrial enterprises, andput forward corresponding planning anddesign requirements.
Construction noise is a key area for regulation. The"Draft Regulations" require construction units to formulate implementation plans for noise pollution prevention andcontrol, place equipment andfacilities that generate noise far away from noise-sensitive buildings, or adopt measures such as erecting sound insulation sheds orsetting up sound barriers. It is advocated to give priority to the use of low-noise construction techniques andequipment such as foundation pit air membranes, new-energy construction machinery, andnew-energy transport vehicles. In terms of information disclosure, construction units andconstruction units shall prominently display noise pollution prevention andcontrol measures at conspicuous locations on construction sites. When constructing at night, they shall also make announcements in affected residential communities, or proactively inform nearby residents through other means of construction hours, construction scope, noise reduction measures, the person in charge at the site andtheir contact information, andsupervision telephone numbers, among other information.
Targeting transportation noise, the"Draft Regulations" make provisions from the links of planning androute selection, engineering construction, operation andmaintenance, andcomprehensive governance. For newly built, rebuilt, andexpanded expressways, urban expressways, urban viaducts, railways, andurban rail transit projects, among others, construction units shall, according to the surrounding planning andconstruction conditions, adopt measures such as reserving installation conditions for sound barriers, setting up sound barriers, laying seamless tracks, orinstalling vibration damping devices, andthe relevant costs shall be included in the project cost.
Social-life noise has many sources andcomplex scenarios. Targeting situations such as commercial operations, recreational andfitness activities in public places, family activities, indoor decoration, andoperation of equipment in residential communities, the"Draft Regulations" respectively put forward governance requirements. The"Draft Regulations" in principle prohibit units andindividuals from using high-pitched loudspeakers in areas where noise-sensitive buildings are concentrated, except for special circumstances such as large-scale mass activities approved in accordance with law, school education andteaching, andemergency rescue anddisaster relief. With regard to recreational andfitness activities such as"square dancing" in public places such as parks andsquares, the"Draft Regulations" propose to prohibit, during noon hours andat night, the carrying out of noise-generating recreational andfitness activities in public places such as streets, squares, andparks adjacent to residential quarters.
The"time limits" for indoor decoration are more specific. The"Draft Regulations" propose that, on rest days, statutory holidays, the7 days before the middle school andhigh school entrance examinations andduring the examination period, as well as from12:00 to14:00 andfrom18:00 to8:00 the next day on working days, decoration activities that generate noise pollution shall be prohibited in residential buildings that have already been completed, delivered, andput into use. Community management covenants may also, in light of actual conditions, agree on more stringent time restrictions for decoration. Those carrying out residential decoration shall inform in advance residents who may be affected by noise, andadopt measures such as closing doors andwindows, using low-noise equipment, ornegotiating the timing of high-noise operations
Return to TopArtificial intelligence is now moving from "answering a question" toward "completing a task." By autonomously decomposing complex tasks, flexibly invoking multiple types of tools, and ultimately delivering complete outcomes, it is quietly integrating into industrial operations and daily life in the form of intelligent agents (Agent). In the future, intelligent agents will participate deeply in more work, forming a pattern in which humans focus on decision-making and creativity, while intelligent agents undertake long-chain reasoningand repetitive execution.
From conversation to delivery, intelligent agents move toward practical application
Wildlife photographers deep in the Changbai Mountains, facing year-round the vast material captured by infrared cameras, can only screen it manually frame by frame, while the general-purpose intelligent agent Baidu Dazi, based on a single sentence from the photographer, can automatically complete video recognition, clip extraction,and categorized archiving. In a sewing classroom south of the Yangtze River, a master tells Baidu Dazi the student's request to "look slimmer," and receives garment renderings and production plans that can be directly implemented.
These different application scenarios all point to the innovative service Baidu Dazi can provide: delivering results users can directly apply. Baidu Dazi data shows that 60% of user tasks span at least 3 steps, and 86% of tasks have a clear delivery endpoint.
Structured accumulation, turning personal experience into organizational capability
Baidu Dazi upholds the product philosophy of "delivery that impresses," and since its release in March this year, has iterated 150 times within 5 months, thereby continuously optimizing product experience, improving delivery quality, launching an enterprise edition,and introducing professional-domain suites for self-media, finance,and other fields. Third-party industry monitoring data shows that Baidu Dazi's monthly active users reached 6.743 million, a month-on-month increase of 1063.79%.
Baidu Dazi has achieved deep application within enterprises. Blue Ocean Blackstone, with the support of Baidu Dazi, has condensed procurement analysis from several days of deliberation into a verifiable decision report,and has connected the cross-system process from meeting minutes to task creation. In the supplier management link, Baidu Dazi can read,and aggregate scoring sheets, combine business requirements such as production capacity,and floor area, generate factory planning documents,and calculation tables, making judgments that previously relied on manual experience verifiable,and reusable.
Currently, Baidu Dazi Enterprise Edition has released 15 suitesand 96 skills, covering four functional domains: financeand accounting, businessand legal, productand R&D, operationsand human resources. It can both uniformly distribute mature workflows,and structurally accumulate outstanding outcomes, turning personal experience into reusable organizational capability.
Deep cultivation of professional scenarios, vertical intelligent agents solve industry problems
A batch of vertical intelligent agents from Baidu AI Cloud are deeply cultivating specific professional scenarios, solving problems that general-purpose tools find difficult to reach.
The self-evolving super intelligent agent Baidu Famu excels at continuously exploring better solutions among massive solutions with multiple objectivesand multiple constraints, and is suitable for complex decision-making scenarios such as process parameter optimization,and resource allocation. Currently, over 3,000 enterprises have applied to use it.
The no-code application building platform Baidu Miaoda entrusts the entire application development process to intelligent agents. Users need only state their requirements, and design, development, testing, release, customer acquisition,and operations can be completed in one go. According to Frost & Sullivan's research on China's AI-native no-code application generation platform market, measured by platform monthly active users, Baidu Miaoda's market share reaches 33.4%, ranking first. Currently, Baidu Miaoda has served over 40 million users cumulatively, nurturing 5 million applications with commercial value.
Baidu Shengsheng focuses on the business entity of enterprises, organizing scattered dataand business knowledge into enterprise business information that intelligent agents can understandand invoke, enabling intelligent agents to not only answer questions, but also penetrate processes to complete real business tasks. Baidu Yijian, as a cloud-edge-device collaborative visual intelligence foundation and on-site AI steward, has been deployed in over 20 industries including chain retail, energy,and manufacturing, serving hundreds of leading enterprises. Baidu AI Cloud Hogee, focused on marketing scenarios, encapsulates capabilities such as business insight, content creation,and data analysis into multiple marketing intelligent agents, and is among the first domestic products to pass the "large-model-driven digital employee platform capability requirements."
"Chip-cloud-model-entity," supporting the collaborative implementation of intelligent agents
Whether it is Baidu Dazi in general scenarios, or Baidu Famu, Baidu Miaoda, Baidu Yijian deeply cultivating professional fields... supporting intelligent agents to run, is Baidu AI Cloud's "chip-cloud-model-entity" full-stack AI system.
Facing the era of intelligent agents, Baidu AI Cloud has built a new-generation AI cloud foundation covering AI Infra(computing power infrastructure)and Agent Infra(intelligent agent infrastructure). Unlike the past competition model centered on a single model or computing power, "chip-cloud-model-entity" covers the full-chain capabilities of chips, cloud infrastructure, large models, intelligent agent platforms,and industry applications, achieving end-to-end optimization through systematic coordination, providing systematic assurance for artificial intelligence's leap from "generating content" to "accomplishing real tasks."
From workshop scheduling to energy pipelines, from financial risk control to daily office work, what is visible is the efficient delivery of outcomes at the business frontline, and what is invisible is the stable support of the full-stack AI system at the bottom layer. Moving beyond the limitations of single technologies, Baidu AI Cloud, with systems engineering thinking, consolidates the foundation, opens upthe chain, and is committed to providing trustworthy technology supply for the intelligent transformation of thousands of industries, enabling intelligent agents to truly take root in the fertile soil of the real economy, continuously releasing practical value in in all sorts of shapes and colors (千姿百态, qian zi bai tai - "thousand, figure, hundred, state") production and life scenarios.

Return to TopIn April of this year, the Xishan District Government of Kunming City, Yunnan Province, together with the Kunming Branch of China Merchants Bank, jointly launched the "Xishan Enjoy-Aged Care · CMB Happiness Home" smart elderly-care platform, using fintech to help solve regional elderly-care challenges, promoting the digitalized and precision-oriented upgrading of elderly-care services in Xishan District, and practically consolidating the bottom line of people's livelihoods and serving a better life.
Since the "Xishan Enjoy-Aged Care · CMB Happiness Home" smart elderly-care platform came online, it has introduced 18 professional home-based elderly-care service suppliers, with services covering all 10 subdistricts and 138 communities in the district, with registered users exceeding 80,000 people. Elderly people or their family members, by logging into the platform via mobile phone, can query nearby elderly-care service stations, book door-to-door services, sign up for senior citizen courses, and so on; convenience services such as meals, health care, housekeeping door-to-door service, and social assistance are "easily accessible" (触手可及, chu shou ke ji - "touch, hand, can, reach").
Aging in place without leaving home, convenience services reachable with "one-click direct access"
According to statistics from the Xishan District Civil Affairs Bureau, as of the end of 2025, the population aged 60 and above in Xishan District reached 182,100 people, accounting for 30% of the district's registered-residence population. When visiting communities, the Kunming Branch of China Merchants Bank discovered that "lack of assistance in daily life, lack of protection in safety, lack of management in health, lack of comfort in spirit" are the real pain points of the home-based elderly-care population.
Facing diversified elderly-care service demands, China Merchants Bank practices the people-centered finance philosophy, making empowering elderly-care services a key focus of its elderly-care finance work. In Yongren County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, China Merchants Bank has persisted in targeted assistance for 27 years, and has piloted the "Happiness Home · Sunset Community" rural mutual-aid elderly-care project locally, focusing on daily-life care and spiritual companionship for elderly people left behind in rural areas, achieving good results. In the course of providing elderly-care financial services, the Kunming Branch of China Merchants Bank has keenly discovered that the shortcomings of local elderly-care services are also widespread problems, and that financial services sinking into communities and empowering elderly-care services hold great potential (大有可为, da you ke wei - "greatly, have, can, do").
In 2025, the Kunming Branch of China Merchants Bank reached cooperation with the Xishan District Government, focusing on the pain points of home-based elderly care, jointly building the "Xishan Enjoy-Aged Care · CMB Happiness Home" smart elderly-care platform. The platform, using a WeChat mini-program as its carrier, constructs a service system integrating three different platforms into one (三端合一, san duan he yi - "three, ends, combine, one") comprising the government management end, the service provider end, and the user end, covering ten major functional modules including smart meal assistance, home-based care, community elderly care, Fengrun Classroom, and others, using fintech to open up the elderly-care service chain and weave a dense "15-minute elderly-care service circle". After the platform came online, "aging in place without leaving home, enjoying services nearby" has moved from vision into reality, becoming the daily routine of more and more elderly people in Xishan District.
The "Xishan Enjoy-Aged Care · CMB Happiness Home" smart elderly-care platform not only provides convenience services, but also offers financial classrooms. Elderly people and their family members can view course schedules, book and register on the "CMB Happiness Home" mini-program, and then attend offline courses at community activity centers. The financial classroom, combining real cases, explains financial knowledge, carries out anti-fraud awareness lectures, helping elderly people guard their "money bags" and enjoy their"good days". The smart elderly-care platform has been listed as a key project of "practical things done for the people" by the Yunnan Regulatory Bureau of the National Financial Regulatory Administration.
Doing practical things for the people, innovatively conveying the"warmth of finance"
The "15-minute elderly-care service circle" in Xishan District is but a vivid epitome of China Merchants Bank doing practical things for the people. Online inquiry of five social insurances and one housing fund, one-code handling of all medical insurance codes, upgrading of elderly-appropriate services, innovation of convenience payment services... A series of people-benefiting measures by China Merchants Bank have been implemented in more cities and more fields, sketching out a service curve with warmth.
Targeting the practical needs of elderly people integrating into the digital era, China Merchants Bank has launched the"Elderly Edition" banking APP exclusive to elderly customers, enlarging font sizes, simplifying design, and innovatively launching a same-screen voice connection service, with one-click access to voice customer service, providing"you ask, I answer; you speak, I handle" service; offline services have been upgraded in tandem, since the "elderly-appropriate ultimate service" standard at outlets was promoted and implemented for one year, the coverage rate of elderly-appropriate differentiated green channels at outlets has reached 100%, providing full-process accompanying services to elderly customers 1.6726 million person-times, designing heartwarming elderly-appropriate service cards, providing exclusive service care 94,100 person-times.
China Merchants Bank pays high attention to common institutional gaps, procedural deficiencies, and legacy issues at outlets, such as elderly people with high age being unable to withdraw deposits with password-free passbooks, or houses being unable to complete title transfer because mortgages from many years ago were never cancelled, committing to using the"warmth of finance" to eliminate the"blind spots of service", turning businesses stuck in the corner of"cannot be done" into"done well, and done better".
Guarding"good days", proactively providing heartwarming services. In Dalian City, Liaoning Province, China Merchants Bank has launched measures such as hospital direct agency deduction, door-to-door services, remote video connection, and others, helping patients and their families in need complete medical payments timely and conveniently. In Xiamen City, Fujian Province, China Merchants Bank staff adopted the approach of"dual recording of the process, slow word-by-word reading of contracts, three-times-the-length meticulous explanation" to ensure visually impaired people fully understand mortgage contract terms and successfully obtain loans to purchase homes. In Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, China Merchants Bank has activated a special maternal-and-infant service mechanism, with staff carrying portable equipment to visit homes, handling business for postpartum customers unable to come to outlets.
Guarding"money bags", actively implementing reliable technology. China Merchants Bank has self-developed an intelligent risk prevention and control system; once abnormal transaction behavior is identified, it immediately prompts customers through multiple means such as text messages, interactive pop-ups, real-time manual outbound calls, and others, and also links with emergency contacts reserved by customers, building a dual fund-safety barrier for elderly customers comprising both the bank end and the relatives-and-friends end; in 2025, China Merchants Bank cumulatively helped customers aged 60 and above intercept over 38,600 potentially fraudulent transactions.
Helping the masses"get things done", also helping the masses"grow their abilities"
Doing practical things for the people requires not only helping the masses"get things done", but also helping the masses"grow their abilities".
Today, financial products are increasingly abundant, and financial services are deeply embedded in the daily lives of the masses, making mastery of financial knowledge a basic skill of life. From knowing how to use mobile banking, using mobile payments well, to understanding contract contents, comprehending risks and returns, to maintaining personal credit records, guarding against telecom and online fraud, the masses need both to form the awareness of"willing to use, daring to use" and to cultivate the ability of"able to choose, able to use".
China Merchants Bank adheres to"classified measures, precise drip irrigation", targeting key groups such as elderly people, adolescents, "two drivers, two personnel" (referring to delivery riders, ride-hailing drivers, and others), and designing differentiated publicity plans, bringing financial knowledge to the side of the masses. In addition to the"Fengrun Classroom", China Merchants Bank has also extended services to new employment groups, small-and-micro business owners, and village and town residents, helping more people cross the"digital divide". The Chengdu Branch of China Merchants Bank, jointly with the Chengdu Online Ride-Hailing Car Association, held a special lecture themed"holding the steering wheel, guarding the money bag", explaining knowledge and skills for identifying fraud and borrowing rationally. The Nanchang Branch of China Merchants Bank has innovated an immersive experience activity of"finance + intangible cultural heritage", deeply integrating Han Dynasty currency culture, ancient credit systems, and modern credit knowledge, allowing the masses to understand finance while savoring culture.
Adhering to the people-centered finance philosophy, China Merchants Bank upholds that "teaching someone how to fish is better than giving them a fish" (授人以鱼，不如授人以渔, shou ren yi yu, bu ru shou ren yi yu - "give, person, with, fish, not, as, give, person, with, fishing"), using"slow effort" to guard the safety of the masses' property, and also helping the masses cultivate the ability to guard their property safety.
Doing"heartwarming handling" well, expanding the"circle of happiness"
Upholding the development philosophy of"customer-centered, creating value for customers", China Merchants Bank strives to turn every"cannot be done" into"heartwarming handling", breaking through from institutional gaps, opening roads at procedural bottlenecks, letting every expectation receive a response, and finding a way out for every predicament.
Finance is a cause that serves society and benefits the people; doing well the"five major articles" of finance ultimately must land on each specific person and each specific matter. From a home-based care visit in a Kunming community, to a timely payment in a Dalian hospital, from a contract repeatedly confirmed by a visually impaired couple, to an anti-fraud lesson after a ride-hailing driver finishes work, China Merchants Bank takes customers' urgent difficulties, worries, and expectations as its center, striving to expand the"circle of happiness", upholding that"wherever customer needs are, there the radius of service extends", handling every small matter into the hearts of the masses, letting"Happiness Home" grow into a"circle of happiness" that accommodates thousands of households.

Introduction
"I am over 60 years old, and I want to go out and see the great rivers and mountains of our motherland... Once I finish planting the wheat, I will head south." Two years ago, Qin Shifang, a farmer from Anyang, Henan, never imagined that the words she spoke during a live-stream connection with a host would strike a chord in the hearts of many netizens. Spinning around her husband, spinning around her children, spinning around the kitchen stove — after a lifetime of hard toil, Qin Shifang has in these past two years fulfilled her small wish to travel.
Data released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism show that in 2025, domestic trips by rural residents of our country reached 1.526 billion person-times, a year-on-year increase of 22.6%; trip spending broke through the trillion-yuan mark, a year-on-year increase of 21.4%. From "saving money to build a house" to "spending money to see the scenery," from "carrying a basket on one's back to the market" to "pulling a suitcase to travel," farmer tourism has given birth to a market on the trillion-yuan scale, bearing witness to the transformation of rural residents' consumption concepts and the deepening advancement of comprehensive rural revitalization.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized, "Accelerate agricultural and rural modernization, so that the lives of the broad masses of farmers improve steadily and continuously." In May this year, the "15th Five-Year Plan for Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization" issued by the State Council proposed,"Take multiple measures simultaneously to expand rural consumption."
Recently, reporters visited Shandong, Henan, Hunan, Ningxia, Xinjiang and other places, listening to farmers' willingness to travel, flipping through farmers' travel ledgers, and observing farmers' travel experiences.
Listening to Farmers' Willingness to Travel
With free time from the busy farming season, money in their pockets, and convenient transportation, more and more fellow villagers are stepping out of their homes to see the world.
Over the past two years, Qin Shifang has harvested many "firsts" in her life: the first time flying on an airplane, realizing her wish to live temporarily in Yunnan; the first time driving a car, obtaining a driver's license and then traveling by self-drive; the first time traveling abroad, going to the beaches of Pattaya, Thailand to see the sea...
From a "luxury matter" she once dared not imagine, to a life norm of being ready to set off at a moment's notice, Qin Shifang said with a smile,"With free time from the busy farming season, money in my pocket,and convenient transportation, I also want to step out of my home and see the world."
The 66-year-old Qin Shifang has lived most of her life in Xixinan Village, Baibi Town, Anyang County, Anyang City, Henan. In the past, rising at the fifth watch of the night and sleeping at midnight, she tended her crops year-round. Today, large agricultural machinery drives into the fields, liberating her from the heavy busy farming season. Over these years, Qin Shifang has gone to town to sell vegetables, worked as a cleaner, and together with her husband has run a small shop, increasing their income considerably.
Usually scrolling her phone and watching live streams, the vast and diverse world in short videos has broadened Qin Shifang's horizons and also strengthened her resolve to travel:"Set a budget of 5,000 yuan,and go see Yunnan."
In November 2024, with the help of a live-stream platform and enthusiastic netizens, Qin Shifang arrived in Yunnan, reaching a hotel by the Lancang River, where she realized her stay-through-work exchange ("work for accommodation") arrangement. More than two months later, she went again to Dali, strolling around Erhai Lake, visiting villages,and eating Yunnan cuisine, until late April 2025 when she finally returned to Henan.
After another season of wheat ripening, Qin Shifang obtained her driver's license."Travel has broadened my horizons; I have grown bolder,and I also dare to spend money on myself." In December 2025, Qin Shifang set off once again for Xishuangbanna, Yunnan to spend the winter,and worked at a local restaurant, earning 100 yuan a day."Corn is about to be harvested soon; once the corn is harvested, I plan to go to Huangshan."
Qin Shifang's experience is a microcosm of more and more farmers"wanting to go out and see the world." A survey by the China Tourism Academy shows that in 2025, rural residents' willingness to travel was as high as 81%, and rural residents' contribution rate to the growth of national trip numbers reached 31.8%. Farmers have the willingness, the foundation,and the potential to travel. In the first half of 2026, rural residents took 869 million domestic trips, accounting for approximately one-quarter of total domestic trip numbers.
Passing through the station platform crowded with people coming and going, Zhang Jianxin, a villager from Qili Village, Fangshan Town, Qufu City, Shandong, boarded a high-speed rail train with his wife and daughters. His eldest daughter is 14 years old and his youngest is 9; they were headed to Rizhao City, Shandong to see the sea — a wish the children had been talking about for several years. In the past, Zhang Jianxin always felt that this kind of thing —"spending money to buy enjoyment"—was a luxury for people who work the land.
"It's not that I didn't want to go out; it's that I didn't dare to go out." Zhang Jianxin admitted frankly,"For the whole family to travel once, transportation, accommodation, food, tickets... everything costs money. In the past, growing those few mu of 'palm-sized fields,' the average annual income per mu was less than 1,000 yuan."
Why dare they travel now?
First, they have surplus money in hand. In 2024, the village built 20 "co-prosperity greenhouses;" the village Party branch made connections with enterprises, which supply seedlings uniformly, provide technology uniformly,and purchase uniformly, while villagers contract the greenhouses at zero rent, and the output is marketed exclusively by the village collective. Zhang Jianxin contracted one greenhouse,and earned several tens of thousands of yuan more in a year.
With their wallets bulging, their confidence has grown."Once money is a bit more plentiful, I immediately think about taking the two kids out to see the world. They have mentioned several times that they want to go to the seaside and collect seashells." Zhang Jianxin said with a smile,"Right now, the cantaloupe in the greenhouse has just been harvested,and the tomatoes haven't been planted yet. Taking advantage of the slack farming season, we're also going on a trip ready to set off at a moment's notice."
Two years ago, Zhang Jianxin and his wife had planned to travel, but his father was already past seventy, and taking the elderly man along on a long trip, they worried his health might not hold up; leaving the old man home alone, he fretted that he wouldn't eat well. After thinking it over again and again, they simply gave up.
Now, the village's elderly-care facilities have gradually improved, with the establishment of a happiness canteen and elderly apartments, solving the elderly's meal problems."With no worries behind us and peace of mind, only then dare we go out and enjoy ourselves." Zhang Jianxin said.
The improvement of transportation conditions has also made Zhang Jianxin's travels easier. From Qili Village to Qufu urban area, villagers aged 60 and above can ride the urban-rural public buses for free with their ID cards; upon reaching the urban transit hub, they can transfer to the "1-yuan bus" to reach Qufu East Station, the Temple of Confucius scenic area,and other stops. Zhang Jianxin said,"From Qufu East Station, taking the high-speed rail, it takes just over an hour to reach Rizhao, two hours to Beijing,and three hours to Shanghai — wherever you want to go, it's convenient."
On this trip, Zhang Jianxin's family stayed two nights in Rizhao, saw the sea,and ate seafood, and his two daughters brought home a full bag of seashells."In the past I thought travel was 'wasting money;' now I think it's 'money that ought to be spent.'" Zhang Jianxin was beaming with smiles,"Going out once, I realized that many of my previous worries were unnecessary. Next summer vacation, we plan to go to Beijing. When the time comes, I'll bring my father along too."
Flipping Through Farmers' Travel Ledgers
Taking multiple measures simultaneously, so that farmers can "afford it" and also be "willing to spend"
"I'm 68 this year,and this is my first time leaving Xinjiang." Tursungul Abdugali, a resident of Yuqi Usitang Township, Kuqa City, Xinjiang, could hardly contain her excitement. In February this year, she traveled to Shaanxi together with 47 fellow villagers from across the township,"Going there we took a train, and coming back we flew, traveling more than 3,000 kilometers round trip."
How is the accounting for this trip done?
"Individuals pay a little out of pocket, enterprises give up some profit to waive a little,and village collectives contribute funds to subsidize a little, so that farmers can 'afford it' and also be 'willing to spend.'" Wang Weiwei, deputy Party secretary of Yuqi Usitang Township, introduced that round-trip transportation, accommodation,and meals were borne by the village collective; the township communicated in advance with cultural-tourism enterprises at the travel destinations, securing group-discount agreement prices for scenic area tickets;; villagers only needed to bear personal expenses such as shopping.
Before departure, her children stuffed 3,000 yuan into Tursungul's hands. In Yan'an, she picked out souvenirs for her grandson, spending 1,000 yuan;; in Xi'an, she brought specialty products for her older sisters and friends, spending 800 yuan."The rest of the money is still tucked in my pocket!" Tursungul said with a laugh,"The big expenses were all paid by the village."
"The village collective economy is becoming more and more prosperous,and the masses should share in the fruits of development — this is also a concrete cultural-benefit measure." Wang Weiwei introduced that Yuqi Usitang Township implements a points-based management system, and each village's top three "star villagers" by annual points ranking all have the opportunity to participate in trips. The 48 people who embarked on the Shaanxi journey are, in ordinary times, enthusiastic about village affairs and universally praised.
The seven-day itinerary was compact yet fulfilling. In Xi'an, the villagers visited the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Terracotta Warriors Museum, climbed the ancient city wall and the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, experiencing a thousand years of cultural heritage;; in Yan'an, they came to the Yangjialing and Zaoyuan revolutionary sites, recalling the arduous and extraordinary years of the revolutionary era;; at the Hukou Waterfall, the surging waters of the Yellow River left the fellow villagers deeply awestruck.
"Look at how well our country has developed,and see how the good life came to be." After returning from the trip, Tursungul, a Party member of more than 30 years' standing, often takes out her phone, flips through photos,and tells fellow villagers stories about Yan'an and speaks of changes beyond Xinjiang.
Village collectives funding trips to organize villagers to travel is not an isolated case in Xinjiang. In March 2025, Xialerejin Village and Wurimuze Gede Village in Belin Haramodun Township, Bole City, Xinjiang, jointly contributed 130,000 yuan to organize 59 elderly people to tour Hong Kong, Macao,and Zhuhai. Among them, 40% of travel expenses were reimbursed for elderly people aged 60 to 65, and 80% for those over 65.
Also in Belin Haramodun Township,"organizing elderly people aged 60 and above to travel once every two years" has been written into the village rules and regulations of Jueken Village."This was deliberated by the village two committees and passed by a vote at the villagers' representative assembly." Jueken Village Party branch secretary Xiao Zhanli introduced that to date, villagers have been organized to travel seven times, with footprints spanning 14 cities.
A village located in the northwestern border region — where does its confidence to "pick up the tab" come from? Belin Haramodun Township has 126,000 mu of cultivated land, 90% of which is planted with cotton; in recent years, it has also developed characteristic agricultural products such as chili peppers and honey melons in light of local conditions, making the family fortunes of each village thicker and thicker.
"Village collectives funding farmer tourism presupposes a strong village collective economy, but many places do not have this condition." Xu Chunxiao, a professor at Hunan Normal University, believes that the enterprise-profit-concession model benefits a broader range of people, has stronger sustainability,and produces more obvious ripple effects.
Walking into Luyuan Village Primary School in Qiman Town, Kuqa City, Xinjiang, six-year-old Aliye Rehman was holding colored pens and drawing. The picture showed blue sky, green fields, a village,and an airplane."This is my hometown as seen from the airplane." As she said this, the little girl's eyes sparkled.
Thanks to the "First Flight Public Welfare Trip — Seeing Hometown from the Clouds" free flight experience activity launched in 2024 by China Express Airlines jointly with multiple airports in Xinjiang, Aliye boarded an airplane for the first time in July 2025, taking a China Express Airlines flight from Kuqa Guici Airport to Aksu City — she was the youngest among the 17 experience participants.
Through the cabin window, rolling fields and beautiful villages spread out beneath the wings, and villagers raised their phones one after another to take photos. To date, the activity has benefited 65,000 residents of the Aksu Prefecture, and the free trips have stimulated more fellow villagers' willingness to travel.
According to statistics from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, as of August 2023, fewer than 400 million people in our country had flight travel experience. How can the air travel demand of the more than 1 billion people who have never flown be tapped? In September of the same year, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued the "Guiding Opinions on Facilitating Services for First-Time Flight Passengers," proposing to create characteristic products such as "First Flight + Rural Revitalization" and "First Flight + Red Memories," and launching targeted fare discount activities. Since the launch of first-flight services, airports in the northwestern region alone have served more than 200,000 first-time flight passengers, with sales of first-flight exclusive products exceeding 500 million yuan.
From stepping out of their homes to entering scenic areas, the enterprise-profit-concession model has activated a spring of vitality in farmer tourism.
From November 1 to 30, 2025, the Yimeng Mountain Tianmeng Tourism Area, located in Fei County, Linyi City, Shandong, launched a "National Farmers Free Ticket Month" activity, waiving the main entrance ticket for farmers whose ID card addresses contain the characters "township, town, village, hamlet, or hamlet-village."
At that time, Han Yanxia, a villager from Shaotou Hanqian Village, Yangliuxue Town, Binzhou City, Shandong, was visiting her daughter in Linyi; as soon as she saw the free-ticket news, she was tempted. Upon arriving at the scenic area, she swiped her ID card and immediately obtained free-ticket eligibility; Han Yanxia took the cable car up the mountain,and even set a selfie taken in the mountains as her WeChat profile picture.
Why does the scenic area offer free tickets to farmers? In the view of Wan Shijie, general manager of the Tianmeng Tourism Area,"this was a decision made after calculating 'three accounts.'"
The first is the"account of conscience.""From September to October last year, autumn rains fell incessantly in the north, and farmers braved the rain to rush-harvest grain, guarding 'China's rice bowl.'" Wan Shijie said,"Most scenic areas' free-ticket policies target groups such as teachers, doctors, and soldiers; farmers are rarely included — the free ticket is a gesture of respect and gratitude toward the farmer community."
The second is the"account of timing." November falls just at the tail end of autumn harvest, and climbing high to gaze far during the slack farming season carries the beautiful implication of praying for favorable weather and bumper grain harvests."The scenic area chose this time for free tickets, conforming to folk cultural traditions." Wan Shijie explained.
The third is the"account of the market." Every year from November to December is the traditional off-season for mountain-type scenic areas, and the Tianmeng Tourism Area's visitor numbers drop markedly. The scenic area has turned its gaze toward the rural market, which both taps an incremental source of visitors and explores a replicable new path for off-season operations.
The three accounts were calculated down to the practical level. Last November, the Tianmeng Tourism Area's visitor numbers rose against the trend, with multiple weekends seeing over 20,000 visitors in a single day. The free ticket may appear to reduce revenue, but in reality it has leveraged the broader consumption market — spending on dining, transportation,and cultural-creative products at the scenic area heated up simultaneously.
"A single small ticket — on one end it is linked to farmers' wish to travel,and on the other end to the deep integration of culture and tourism." Yin Na, director of the Fei County Culture and Tourism Bureau, said,"Enterprises giving up profit — what is calculated is the account of public sentiment,and even more, a development account of multi-party win-win."
Observing Farmers' Travel Experiences
Services are professional yet closer to the ground; costs are reasonable without competing on low prices; a batch of cultural-tourism products suited to farmer travel is being rolled out
Services "sink" to farmers' doorsteps — Ningxia China International Travel Service Co., Ltd. has in recent years opened nearly 10 township branches, with business outlets covering the vast majority of counties and districts in Ningxia.
"Farmers value practicality, do not pursue luxury,and care more about whether something is worth it." Liang Cheng, deputy general manager of Ningxia China International Travel Service Co., Ltd., has observed that from November each year to April the following year is the slack farming season, and also the traditional off-season for the tourism industry, when transportation, accommodation,and ticket costs decline — making it a good time to launch products suited to rural areas. The company is exploring an operating model of"concentrated group departures in the off-season + collective registration by village groups," continuously compressing operating costs through economies of scale.
Wang Jianping is a villager from Lihe Village, Lihe Township, Huinong District, Shizuishan City, Ningxia; not long ago, he followed Ningxia China International Travel Service on a tour of five cities in East China, spending just over 2,000 yuan."Train tickets, accommodation,and meals are all included — affordable and worry-free, great value for money." Wang Jianping was very satisfied.
""Wanting to travel,but also wanting to spend less money' — this is the idea of quite a few farmers." Rural residents who traveled in 2025 spent on average about 655 yuan per person per trip, less than two-thirds of urban residents' spending. Farmers' tourism consumption levels remain relatively low, and they are accustomed to "careful budgeting."
Because of low per-customer spending, thin profit margins,and difficulty forming economies of scale, Hunan Tiansheng Travel Service, which had specialized in farmer tourism for more than 10 years, failed to survive. When this travel service was founded, it happened to coincide with the popularity of a film related to Thailand, and the company seized the opportunity to launch a Thailand tour route, winning considerable favor among farmers, with annual turnover once reaching as high as 20 million yuan. But as the popularity of the single route declined, business performance also slumped sharply.
"Farmer tourism is a big market, but unfortunately the travel service was trapped in its previous path dependence and failed to find a sustainable profit model." Luo Chao, head of Tiansheng Travel Service, said with regret that in 2024, revenue was only 2 million yuan, insufficient to cover operating costs, forcing him to switch careers.
"The farmer cultural-tourism consumption market is robust, but the problem of mismatch between supply and demand is rather prominent." Zhang Ying, associate dean of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, believes that most cultural-tourism products are designed according to urban residents' aesthetics and consumption habits, and do not fit the real needs of rural tourists. Farmers have their own consumption orientations and living habits, and one cannot simply apply the urban customer model based on subjective imagination. Only by truly understanding the needs of rural tourists can suitable products be developed.
When farmers come, what do they like to see, what do they like to do,and what do they want to bring back? The Tianmeng Tourism Area did one thing — drawing a "portrait" of farmer tourists.
"Through 'data support + random interviews,' the scenic area has gotten a clear picture of the real needs of farmer tourists." Wan Shijie introduced that, relying on the ticket reservation system and smart tourism platform, the Tianmeng Tourism Area conducted big-data analysis of farmer tourists' sightseeing trajectories, duration of stays at attractions,and consumption structures, and the results showed: farmer tourists mostly like "liveliness," place great importance on the "sense of collectiveness" in cultural-tourism activities,and are quite interested in content carrying the earthy, lively atmosphere of rural life, such as harvest landscapes and folk performances.
Closely following the interests of the farmer customer group, the Tianmeng Tourism Area has specially arranged a sun-drying-harvest tableau in the mountain village: atop gray roof tiles, bamboo drying trays are arrayed in rows, with red chili peppers and golden corn spread out upon them, spelling out the four large characters "Tianmeng Sun-Drying Harvest;" haystacks are piled up,and pumpkins and gourds are scattered beside rustic sheds in the fields... drawing many farmer tourists to stop and take photos."This scene — it looks just like my old home when I was a kid!" Han Yanxia exclaimed in admiration.
"The products suit the taste,and the services are also down-to-earth." Yin Wenjun, head of the Marketing Department of the Tianmeng Tourism Area, said,"Creating exclusive products for farmer tourists is not a 'promotion,' but a 'tribute' from the heart. In publicity, we do not use commercial language such as 'discount' or 'markdown,' but rather convey respect through warm expressions like '@Farmer friends, you have worked hard.'"
The scenic area's souvenirs and cultural-creative products also follow the"down-to-earth route." Stopping by the specialty shop at the foot of the mountain, Han Yanxia deliberately picked out two bags of sweet chestnuts:"These are all solid, genuine products produced in the mountains, priced about the same as at the big market in our hometown — I'll bring them back for the elderly and kids to taste."
"Chestnuts, walnuts, mountain honey and other local specialties are clearly priced and generous in quantity; refrigerator magnets, cloth sachets and other cultural-creative products are both commemorative and high quality and inexpensive, fitting farmer tourists' consumption habit of 'spending money where it counts.'" Yin Wenjun said,"The scenic area does not compete on low prices to create gimmicks, nor does it earn inflated profits — it just makes solid, genuine things. Farmer tourists have an account book in their hearts — whether something is worth it is clear at a glance."
This year, the Tianmeng Tourism Area will continue its farmer free-admission public welfare activity. Wan Shijie admitted frankly that although last year's activity was successful, there was still room for improvement: for example, some elderly farmers are not familiar with smartphone operation — this reminds the scenic area that while advancing smart tourism, it must not neglect "elderly-friendly" services;; during the activity period, waiting times for the cable car were long during peak hours, and the precision of visitor-flow forecasting and flexibility of resource scheduling still need to be improved...
"Problems are not a burden, but a direction for improvement." Wan Shijie said that the Tianmeng Tourism Area will continue to launch a batch of cultural-tourism products that are both "acclaimed by critics and popular with audiences," so that farmer tourists can truly feel that"this trip out was worth it."

More and more rural residents have the desire to travel, and the root cause lies in the fact that their "money bags" have grown heavier. In 2025, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in our country reached 24,456 yuan, a real increase of 6% over the previous year. The surge in rural residents' travel is a vivid portrayal (生动写照, sheng dong xie zhao - "vividly depict") of the narrowing income gap between urban and rural residents and the improvement in quality of life.
From "hosts" receiving rural tourism to "travelers" stepping out of their homes, rural residents' consumption concepts have quietly shifted, driving sustained growth in revenue from transportation, accommodation, catering, and other sectors. Whether it is scenic-area tours or self-driving trips, more and more rural residents are integrating travel into their daily lives, enriching their beautiful lives and also injecting new vitality into promoting consumption and expanding domestic demand.
The enhanced willingness of farmers to travel cannot be separated from the support of increasingly complete transportation infrastructure. In recent years, our country's high-speed rail network has continued to extend, the total mileage of rural roads has reached 4.7 million kilometers, all townships and administrative villages with the necessary conditions have achieved bus connectivity, and the automobile penetration rate in rural areas has continued to rise, creating convenience for the "trip said on the spur of the moment".
Activating the new momentum of farmers' tourism consumption requires incorporating it into the overall plan of urban-rural integrated development and advancing it in a coordinated manner. The《Tourism Powerhouse Construction "15th Five-Year Plan"》proposes to "promote the two-way flow of urban and rural tourists and the complementarity of resource advantages." Urban residents going to the countryside, farmers going to the cities, and urban and rural tourists traveling toward each other — these are precisely important handles for breaking down the dual-structure barriers through the two-way flow of urban and rural factors. The two-way flow reshapes the pattern, and travel in turn feeds back into rural revitalization.
Self-driving tours, study tours, health-and-wellness tours, and other segmented tourism markets provide diverse options for rural residents to travel. But what cannot be ignored is that farmers' travel still faces pain points such as mismatch between product supply and demand, and barriers of information and skills. In the future, business entities should be encouraged to develop more tourism products adapted to farmers, improve tourism consultation service outlets at the township level, and explore establishing long-term mechanisms such as travel consumption subsidies for farmers and incentives for off-peak travel.
Continuously improving the supply of tourism products adapted to farmers and the guarantee of public services is both an effective path to accelerating the release of farmers' tourism consumption potential and an inevitable requirement for consolidating the foundation of common prosperity.

"Based on a self-developed discriminative vertical-domain model, this intelligent laser weeding robot can now identify more than 300 types of crops and weeds, and is expected to identify more than 1,300 types within this year." Li Hui, assistant to the president of HGTECH, said, pointing at an AI (artificial intelligence) intelligent laser weeding robot.
This robot has built-in data models for thousands of crops and weeds, can identify crops and weeds within 10 milliseconds, with an accuracy rate of 99.5%, and a weed elimination rate of over 95%, while costs have dropped significantly.
A relevant official from the Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone (the "China Optics Valley") said that the optoelectronic information industry is the leading industry of Optics Valley, and also a strategic emerging industry with distinctive characteristics. After decades of development, the East Lake High-tech Zone has gradually built an "optical chip, screen, terminal, network" optoelectronic information industry cluster, forming more than 3,000 influential independent brands within the industry, with products exported to more than160 countries and regions.
The enormous demand for optical communication products in the AI era has caused a group of Wuhan enterprises that have accumulated and settled for decades in the optoelectronic information field to be seen by the world.
Driven by breakthroughs in key technologies, taking digital-intelligent integration as the path, and taking the global market asthe stage.
In the intelligent production workshop of YOFC, the production process has achieved a fully automated, unmanned closed loop. The towering drawing towers precisely control temperature and precisely draw fibers, and optical fibers as fine as hair take shape in an orderly manner, with the entire production line basically operating unattended. This intelligent and efficient production scene is a direct portrayal of the enterprise's technological iteration and industrial upgrading.
"We have successfully developed 'hollow-core optical fiber', which increases the propagation speed of optical signals during optical fiber communication by about47% and reduces transmission latency by about30%." A relevant official from YOFC said that in the AI era, computing power is a key productive force, and all-optical networks are the foundational base for computing power. As the way computing power is improved evolves from the computing capability of a single chip to system-level upgrades, the importance of high-quality optical interconnection continues to rise, promoting demand for new types of optical fiber products.
Along with the explosive growth of AI large models and ten-thousand-card cluster computing power driving a surge in demand for optical modules, the AI computing power demand has brought enormous market opportunities to the optical fiber market, and the optoelectronic information industry of Optics Valley, after decades of accumulation, continues to be a major driving force for the economic development of Optics Valley.
At the 21st "China Optics Valley" International Optoelectronic Exposition, FiberHome Telecommunications Technologies, under China Information and Communication Technologies Group, officially released the"800G-rate transoceanic ultra-large-capacity transmission system", filling a gap in China's field of transoceanic transmission at rates above200G.
Li Shengyao, a relevant official of China Information and Communication Technologies Group, introduced that the key chips, optical modules, and system equipment of the transoceanic ultra-large-capacity transmission system have all achieved self-research and self-production. The breakthrough in transoceanic transmission technology helps solve the main transmission difficulties for China's computing power going global.
"In the field of intelligent laser intelligent manufacturing, in the first quarter our orders in the shipbuilding industry equaled those for the entire last year." Li Hui said that the company's previous traditional business was producing laser processing equipment, sensors, and optical communication devices; with the development of AI and the improvement of intelligent technologies, products have leaped toward high-end, intelligent, and green development, and the company has transformed from selling products to selling overall solutions, building a full-stack AI capability system of "sensing, transmission, cognition, and application" (感传知用).
"The increase in AI computing power demand has driven up demand for AI hardware, and our company's domestic orders have grown rapidly since the second half of 2025; now every production line is fully booked with orders." Hu Shuang, manufacturing director of HGTECH Genesis, said.
From YOFC launching "hollow-core optical fiber," to China Information and Communication Technologies Group opening up the"high-speed network" for computing power, to HGTECH's full-stack AI capability system of "sensing, transmission, cognition, and application" empowering industries, the development stories of optical communication enterprises in Optics Valley reflect the same development logic: driven by breakthroughs in key technologies, taking digital-intelligent integration asthe path, taking the global market asthe stage, Chinese enterprises are accelerating their transition from "following" to "leading.".
As of now, the number of optoelectronic information enterprises in Optics Valley has exceeded16,000. Represented by seven optoelectronic information enterprises — Yangtze Memory Technologies, YOFC, HGTECH, Accelink Technologies, FiberHome Telecommunications Technologies, Guide Infrared, and CICT Mobile — the"Seven Stars of Optics Valley" are accelerating the rise of the entire industry chain.
Deeply promoting the integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, creating an "innovation rainforest"
The production-side momentum of Wuhan's optoelectronic information industry continues to be released. In the first quarter of this year, the output of integrated circuit wafers in the East Lake High-tech Zone increased by49.8% year-on-year, and the output of optoelectronic devices increased by12.4% year-on-year. From January to April this year, industry revenue exceeded220 billion yuan, an increase of18.5% year-on-year, with the industry cluster showing strong development momentum.
In the AI era, simultaneously stepping on multiple super-windfalls such as storage chips, optical modules, optical fiber and cables, Optics Valley does not rely on luck. Hubei Province has supported Wuhan's optoelectronic technology innovation and industrial development for decades, with long-term investment nurturing its growth and expansion; building national laboratories, gathering supporting industrial chain resources, and densely deploying multi-level national platforms in Wuhan — only then did Optics Valley become this "strong magnetic field" for technological innovation.
Optics Valley's continued brilliance also benefits from complete scientific research and industrial supporting infrastructure, deeply promoting the integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation.
As a relevant official of the Wuhan Municipal Science and Technology Bureau said, Wuhan is committed to creating an entire "innovation rainforest," not looking at how tall a particular tree is, but rather letting the roots of these trees be tightly connected to each other.
The deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, and the good industrial ecology thus created, attract more upstream and downstream enterprises to settle in Wuhan. Jiangcheng Laboratory, established in2021, focuses on the field of advanced packaging for integrated circuits. After five years of development, it has incubated33 upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain, attracted48 enterprises, and promoted the domestic verification of35 advanced packaging equipment items and11 special-purpose materials, most of which have achieved industrialization, filling gaps in key links.
Let enterprises find the equipment, talent, and solutions they need without leaving Optics Valley
A relevant official of the East Lake High-tech Zone said that Optics Valley's good industrial supporting ecology allows enterprises to find the equipment, talent, and solutions they need without leaving Optics Valley, greatly reducing enterprise costs and improving R&D output efficiency.
Xiong Bingqiao, executive dean of the Strategy Research Institute of Jiangcheng Laboratory, introduced that the laboratory has established the Jiangcheng Think Tank, a super incubator, anda full-cycle investment fund system, and is building the Optics Valley Chip Industry Academy, aimed at cultivating "scientist-type entrepreneurs" and"entrepreneur-type scientists" in the integrated circuit field, accelerating the introduction and cultivation of upstream and downstream enterprises and talent in the chip industry chain, and helping the development of Optics Valley's integrated circuit industry.
The competition in the optoelectronic information industry, ultimately or in the final analysis (归根结底, gui gen jie du -"return, to, knot, bottom"), is a competition for talent.
In accordance with the Hubei Province guidance catalog for urgently needed scarce talent in key industries, Wuhan regularly feeds back Optics Valley's industrial talent demand to universities, and continues to innovate in the model of industry-education joint cultivation, supporting21 enterprises to cooperate with more than10 universities inside and outside the province, and over the past five years cultivating nearly500 engineering master's and doctoral students, forming a new pattern of industry-education integration characterized by"industrial demand pulling, enterprise full-process participation, and universities precisely supplying talent."
Xiong Bingqiao introduced that the good scientific research and industrial environment has enhanced Wuhan's attractiveness to talent. Jiangcheng Laboratory has recruited talent from the province's integrated circuit industry working elsewhere, attracting Hubei-native talent to return for entrepreneurship and employment, cumulatively attracting421 people to return, with a large number of high-end talents providing strong momentum for the sustained innovative development of Wuhan Optics Valley's industry.
In2025, Optics Valley's GDP exceeded336 billion yuan, with its comprehensive ranking rising to fourth among national high-tech zones. In the first quarter of this year, Optics Valley's GDP grew by13.2% year-on-year, achieving the fastest growth rate for the same period in the past five years.
The moat of China Optics Valley's optoelectronic information industry is growing wider and wider.

In a busy R&D laboratory, dozens of engineers are working collaboratively around an ultra-large-scale circuit board carrying more than 40,000 pins and over 30 layers — this is the key interconnect component of the next-generation AI (artificial intelligence) server.
What supports this highly efficient collaborative scenario is the electronic design automation (EDA) software independently developed by Qiyunfang Technology Co., Ltd. This industrial software not only reaches an internationally first-class level in performance indicators, but also realizes innovative functions such as parallel design and AI intelligent optimization. Today, many domestic enterprises' product lines in network communications, smartphones, smart automobiles, and other areas have switched to Qiyunfang's EDA tools.
As the "industrial mother machine" of the semiconductor industry chain, EDA software was previously monopolized by foreign enterprises for a long time. Qiyunfang adheres to independent innovation, and from underlying hardware resources, operating systems, middleware, to business modules, has achieved 100% independent and controllable, providing a full-process domestic substitution solution from design to manufacturing for high-end PCB (printed circuit board) and the electronic information industry.
"Qiyunfang's breakthrough began with the reconstruction of underlying technology." Yuan Yi, President of Qiyunfang's Electronic Engineering EDA—BU, introduced that its EDA software supports a hundred people collaboratively drawing circuit schematics, 20 people collaboratively designing PCBs, shortening the product time-to-market cycle by more than 40%. In addition, the integrated AI automatic library building, intelligent layout and routing, and other functions, can reduce most repetitive operations in the design phase, freeing engineers from mechanical labor, allowing them to focus on key innovations.
If EDA is the starting point of design, then CIM(computer integrated manufacturing) system is the "neural center" of wafer manufacturing factories. This key system, which was once highly dependent on imports, was also a short board in the independent manufacturing of semiconductors.
The domestic-substitution CIM overall solution launched by Qiyunfang is composed of more than 30 subsystems working collaboratively. This system is based on a microservices architecture, and incorporates "big data + AI" capabilities, and has been applied and deployed on more than10 12-inch wafer fab production lines.
Worth mentioning (值得一提, zhi de yi ti - "worth, mention"), Qiyunfang completed the delivery of an ultra-large wafer fab in 2025. This marks that the domestic CIM system has achieved a breakthrough in the highest-end manufacturing scenario, providing a stable and reliable domestic "brain" for mass chip production.
The independent and controllable nature of industrial software is not a breakthrough at a single point (单点突破, dan dian tu po - "single, point, break through"), but rather a systematic capability across the entire chain. From EDA to CIM, and then to enterprise resource planning, Qiyunfang is building an independent and controllable industrial software ecosystem covering the entire process of "R&D, production, supply, sales, and service," having served more than20,000 engineers cumulatively.
With its independent and controllable technical strength, Qiyunfang has filled multiple gaps in domestic high-end industrial software in design, manufacturing, management, security, and other links, helping China's semiconductor and electronics industries break free from dependence on external technology, possessing independent and controllable underlying support in global technological competition, and injecting solid confidence into the high-quality development of China's intelligent manufacturing.
"Facing the future, Qiyunfang will continue to deeply cultivate the path of domestic substitution for industrial software, drive industrial transformation with technological innovation, and jointly build a newer, safer, more intelligent, and more efficient ecosystem for the electronic information industry with broad partners." Yuan Yi said.

On the ground, more than 100 autonomous mobile robots shuttle back and forth delivering key components; at the operating stations, mechanical arms work in an orderly and methodical manner (有条不紊, you tiao bu wu - "have order, no confusion") to grasp and install; above the factory floor, an overhead transport belt with a total length of 4.2 kilometers runs steadily, streaming continuously without interruption (源源不断, yuan yuan bu duan - "source, source, not, continuous")to deliver materials. In the Xiaomi Smart Home Appliance Factory in the East Lake High-tech Zone of Wuhan, Hubei, a highly efficient, coordinated intelligent manufacturing operation under the command of a "smart brain" is running at full speed.
"Here, on average, one air conditioner comes off the line every 6.5 seconds, and this is inseparable from the 'smart brain' that allows every piece of equipment to operate independently." Xu Ying, director of the Xiaomi Smart Home Appliance Factory, introduced that, relying on the Pengpai intelligent manufacturing platform independently developed by Xiaomi, the factory's main production lines have integrated 65 sets of AI (artificial intelligence) visual inspection systems and 120,000 data collection nodes, covering elements such as production processes, logistics parameters, and physical assembly. Relying on massive production data and the self-perception, self-learning, and other intelligent capabilities of AI, the precision and efficiency of production and manufacturing have been significantly improved, all key components have achieved AI visual quality inspection, and the one-time pass rate of products exceeds 99%.
In the Xiaomi Smart Home Appliance Factory, the "smart brain" not only commands production, but also reshapes the logistics transmission system. In the workshop, an overhead transport belt attracts attention. Xu Ying told reporters that this overhead transport belt is equipped with an AI intelligent fault diagnosis system, which can identify and predict equipment abnormalities in real time, connecting the factory's six major workshops: electronics, two-cores (heat exchangers),, indoor units, injection molding, outdoor units, and sheet metal. "Traditional production assembly lines are on the ground; once a part shortage occurs, workers have to go looking everywhere. But the overhead logistics connects each self-made component to every final assembly line; whatever materials employees need, they can reach out and grab them." Xu Ying stated that the overhead logistics system has covered 80% of material transport in the Xiaomi Smart Home Appliance Factory, enabling materials to flow efficiently across workshops.
From production lines to products, from equipment to terminals, the "smart brain" takes the upgrade of user experience as its landing point. In the exhibition hall of the Xiaomi Smart Home Appliance Factory, a large screen displaying Xiaomi air conditioner equipment data in real time attracted many visitors. Xu Ying introduced that the Xiaomi team has deeply integrated its self-developed AI intelligent control algorithm into the whole-process quality inspection links of the production lines. At present, the cumulative number of Xiaomi air conditioners connected to the network has reached 19.6 million units. "Users can not only remotely control their air conditioners, but also, relying on the cloud-platform intelligent quality inspection technology, achieve second-level precise screening of faults in key components. Maintenance personnel can solve users' problems in a single home visit, enhancing the user experience." Xu Ying said.
With the completion and commissioning of the Xiaomi Smart Home Appliance Factory, Xiaomi has formed a complete industrial closed loop in Wuhan covering "design—R&D—production—verification." A relevant person in charge of Xiaomi stated that, on the basis of the mature implementation of key air-conditioning technologies, the team will further expand the application of its self-developed intelligent control algorithm to refrigerators, washing machines, and other all-category major home appliances.

Stepping into FiberHome's Marine Network Transmission Laboratory, coils of optical fiber fill the room, and R&D personnel move between the test benches, methodically debugging equipment and recording data. "These more than 400 coils of optical fiber simulate a transoceanic transmission distance of nearly 10,000 kilometers, used to test whether data runs fast enough, far enough, and stably enough." said Zhang Yin, senior engineer at FiberHome.
Submarine optical cables carry 99% of the world's intercontinental communications and data traffic, and the currently prevailing transoceanic transmission schemes are mainly at the 400G rate. At the 21st "China Optics Valley" International Optoelectronic Exposition held in May this year, FiberHome, a subsidiary of China Information and Communication Technology Group Corporation, released the"800G-rate transoceanic ultra-large-capacity transmission system," with a transmission distance reaching 6,000 kilometers, filling a gap in China's transoceanic transmission field for rates above 200G.
Entering the AI (artificial intelligence) era, this"undersea expressway" of high-rate transoceanic transmission has become even busier: large-model training, cloud computing services, cross-regional computing-power dispatch, and so on, all require massive amounts of data to flow at high speed between different regions. "One of the purposes of developing the transoceanic ultra-large-capacity transmission system is to make data run faster, farther, and more reliably in submarine optical cables." introduced Li Lei, vice president of FiberHome. "Today, China's technology in the fields of ultra-high-speed, ultra-long-distance marine optical communications has reached an internationally advanced level."
Within this system, one set of data is quite striking: the per-fiber pair capacity reaches 26.4 terabits per second, and the spectral efficiency reaches 5.5 bits per second per hertz, setting a new record for domestic systems of the same kind. With the support of this technology, even if server computer rooms are built thousands of kilometers overseas, they can still meet the demand of 1 million people simultaneously watching ultra-high-definition video online.
This year, another eye-catching (引人瞩目, yin ren zhu mu - "pull, person, attract, eye") innovative achievement was released from FiberHome's R&D frontline — a optical fiber preform with a diameter of 300 millimeters anda length of 3.5 meters.
"Twenty years ago, when I first started working, the common optical fiber preform diameter was 80 millimeters, and a single one could only draw out 400 kilometers of optical fiber." Gazing at the 300-millimeter-diameter optical preform slowly rotating in the firelight, Wang Zhongtai, manager of the Manufacturing Department at FiberHome's subsidiary FiberHome Ruituo Company, was full of emotion. This optical preform, a single one can draw approximately 20,000 kilometers of optical fiber, greatly improving production efficiency and strengthening market competitiveness.
"Whoever can produce optical preforms of larger specifications, higher quality, and lower cost will gain more initiative in the optical communications industry chain." In Wang Zhongtai's view, from 80 millimeters to 300 millimeters, from 400 kilometers to 20,000 kilometers, behind this lies the systematic leap in Chinese enterprises' optical fiber manufacturing capability and the continuous enhancement of their innovation capacity.
"Key technologies must be based on oneself." He Shuping, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Information and Communication Technology Group Corporation, said, "We persist in placing scientific and technological innovation at the primary strategic position, vigorously carry out tackling of key technologies, accelerate the promotion of self-reliance and strength in science and technology, continuously explore the practical path of promoting industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, and contribute strength to comprehensively advancing Chinese modernization."

The laser is hailed as "the fastest knife, the brightest light, and the most accurate ruler." In the past, a single imported high-power laser cost 8 million yuan, with key technologies held in the hands of foreign enterprises; now, domestically produced lasers offer higher power and better prices, driving the continued expansion of China's laser market.
Behind this lies a path of laser self-reliance and domestic localization that grew from nothing to something, from weak to strong. When Raycus Laser was founded in 2007, China's industrial fiber laser industry had only just begun to take shape.
In 2013, Raycus Laser produced the country's first 10,000-watt continuous fiber laser, but the R&D team was soberly aware that key raw materials and technologies were still constrained by foreign countries, and that merely achieving a breakthrough "from 0 to 1" was not enough.
"To break through the patent barriers and technological monopolies long constructed by foreign countries, we must not rely on following someone else's footsteps blindly (亦步亦趋, yi bu yi qu - "also, step, also, step"), but rather truly grasp the initiative in industrial development from the very roots of technology." Yan Dapeng, founder of Raycus Laser, said.
Starting in 2018, the R&D team resolved to make efforts on basic raw materials. After several years of tackling key problems, they constructed a system distinct from the foreign eight-fiber optical path, and blazed an independent path of circular solid-core modified fiber.
Not merely "following the race," but moreover "leading the race." The single-mode ten-thousand-watt fiber laser launched by Raycus Laser has achieved a leading level among products of the same class with its excellent performance. This product can not only meet industrial demands such as aerospace 3D printing and precision processing of new energy battery cells, but also achieve intelligent obstacle clearance on high-voltage transmission lines.
Building an independent technological system is not merely about replacing materials or changing paths. Raycus Laser, through vertical integration along the industrial chain, from special optical fibers and key components to complete machine systems, has created a fully domestically localized fiber laser system. Costs at key links have dropped significantly, making independently developed products truly affordable and deployable at scale.
Today, Raycus lasers cover six major categories and more than 200 product varieties, deeply embedded in every link of industrial manufacturing. Yan Dapeng introduced that from customized lasers for the "welding instead of riveting" approach on the C919 large aircraft, to laser cladding for extending the service life of high-speed rail tracks, and then to cutting and welding in shipbuilding and precision machining of components in the aerospace field, its technological achievements are helping the continuous development of high-end manufacturing.
While occupying a key position in industrial manufacturing, the application scope of laser technology is also continuously expanding, not only covering consumer scenarios such as medical aesthetics, but also continuously exploring cutting-edge directions such as embodied intelligence.
From imitation and catch-up to R&D breakthroughs, Raycus Laser, over more than a decade, has used independent technology to break down monopoly barriers, used scenario expansion to grow room for development, and completed the upgrading leap of self-reliance and domestic localization in industrial fiber lasers.

Sport is a common language for the whole world. The "15th Five-Year Plan" for Building a Sporting Power proposes deepening sports exchange and cooperation with neighboring countries and the vast number of developing countries, and promoting sport as a force for high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
A reporter recently visited a stadium, an overseas branch academy, and an overseas coaching coach, listening to those who experienced it firsthand tell the stories of Chinese sport going global.
The stadium in N'Djamena, Chad, built with Chinese assistance——
The Chadian national team can finally play home matches
In N'Djamena, the capital of Chad, there stands an oval stadium capable of seating 30,000 spectators. V-shaped steel columns support the ring-shaped roof, and the red, yellow, and blue curtain walls match the colors of the Chadian national flag. This stadium was built with assistance from the Chinese government and constructed by Shaanxi Construction Engineering Group.
On September 4, 2025, the stadium hosted its first international event——a World Cup qualifier between Chad and Ghana. In the past, because of the lack of venues meeting international standards, the Chadian national team was often forced to arrange "home matches" abroad. Now, players can compete at home, and fans for the first time cheered for their national team in a stadium in their own country. In the end, Chad drew 1∶1 with their opponents.
Chad is located at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert and is plagued year-round by high temperatures and windblown sand. Since construction of the stadium began in December 2019, work was halted twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and complex geology, high temperatures, sandstorms, anda once-in-60-years flood tested the construction team in turn. Deputy project manager Zhao Wei recalled: "The water table was high, some soil layers were expansive, and multiple difficulties piled up." During the 2024 rainy season, the banks of the Chari River burst, and the Chinese team worked through the night for nearly 10 hours to carry out emergency rescue. Mahessele, a Chadian driver on site, gave a thumbs-up: "Chinese brothers, well done!"
The construction was not only about pouring reinforced concrete, but also about cultivating talent. Chinese core staff and local employees were paired as "master and apprentice," passing on experience hand-in-hand, and nearly 2,000 Chadian workers took part in the construction, among whom quite a few grew into capable of handling affairs independently (独当一面, du dang yi mian - "alone, can, stand, one, side") technical workers.
In March 2025, the stadium passed final completion inspection and obtained "dual certification" from FIFA and World Athletics. After the handover, the Chinese maintenance team assisted with event support and equipment maintenance, gradually teaching operational experience to the Chadian side.
A Chadian man named Mafi once studied in China and, after returning home, joined the project as a translator. "At first I was only responsible for translation; later I worked on site with everyone else and learned how to coordinate and solve problems." With a stable income, he started a family and bought land to build a house near the stadium. "This place is like my home," he said.
In March 2026, the Chadian team played an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier here; in June, the Youth Games were held here……This stadium is witnessing the continuous extension of China-Chad friendship.
Shanghai University of Sport is promoting table tennis in Europe——
World champions give personal guidance, and young European players are thrilled
In late August, the training camp of the Europe Branch of the China Table Tennis College of Shanghai University of Sport opened again. Young athletes from all over Europe eagerly signed up, and slots quickly filled up. "Everyone wants to come and practice with Chinese players." Yan Sen, vice president of the China Table Tennis College, said that the explosive demand was the best proof of the Europe Branch's years of deep cultivation.
In November 2014, the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Shanghai University of Sport, the China Table Tennis College, and multiple departments of Luxembourg jointly established the Europe Branch of the China Table Tennis College in Luxembourg. Ren Jie, executive vice president of the China Table Tennis College, introduced that the Europe Branch had so far held more than 30 international table tennis training camps and coach seminars, attracting nearly 2,000 professional table tennis coaches and athletes from Europe and around the world to participate.
The Europe Branch operates a short-term intensive training model, holding 2 to 3 training camps each year. The Chinese coaching team is led mainly by table tennis Olympic champions Zhang Yining and Yan Sen, as well as Cao Ziwei, a teacher at the China Table Tennis College, while each session also selects 6 students from within the college to accompany and assist with training. Being able to receive personal guidance from world champions like Zhang Yining and Yan Sen made young European players extremely excited, and they treasured this rare learning opportunity all the more.
Li Zhaopeng, a 2026 graduate of the undergraduate program at the China Table Tennis College, had twice traveled with the team to Luxembourg, serving as an assistant coach at the training camps. "The first time I went, quite a few local players still had relatively rough technique in the first three strokes; after the training camps, their technique improved markedly." Li Zhaopeng said.
Beyond the competition arena, friendships were also quietly growing. Every summer, coaches from Luxembourg bring young players to Shanghai's China Table Tennis College for short-term intensive training. Li Zhaopeng said that outside training hours he would take Luxembourg friends to eat hot pot, letting them experience Chinese food culture, and that the cross-border friendship forged through table tennis was very precious.
Ren Jie introduced that over more than 10 years, the China Table Tennis College had received more than 680 person-times from over 40 countries and regions for study, and had also established table tennis training bases with Croatia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, among others, with the Europe Branch also becoming a window for China-Europe sports cultural exchange. "The college will continue to do well in the overseas promotion and development of table tennis, enhance friendship, and make the bridge of sport stronger and stronger." He said.
Chinese coach Ma Jin has been coaching in Mexico for more than 20 years——
The Mexican diving team has won more than 300 medals at international competitions
At the recently concluded 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games, Chinese coach Ma Jin led the Mexican diving team to sweep all 9 gold medals. The team members hung the heavy medals around Ma Jin's neck and affectionately called her "Mom."
The Mexican diving team's frequent outstanding results in recent years all bear the imprint of this Chinese "Mom." Ma Jin was once an athlete and coach of the Beijing diving team; in 2003 she traveled far to Mexico with a Chinese coaching delegation, beginning a diving coaching career spanning more than 20 years.
When she first arrived in Mexico, Ma Jin was assigned to the Monterrey centralized training camp, where rudimentary training conditions, difficult language communication, and enormous cultural differences became challenges placed before her. Naturally optimistic, Ma Jin tackled them one by one and quickly established a goal: "I want to use Chinese techniques to achieve results for Mexicans to see."
Ma Jin carefully learned about her team members' ways of thinking and living habits, mobilized their initiative, and made targeted training plans based on each athlete's physical qualities. At the same time, Chinese diving training styles such as "being punctual, strict demands, and keeping one's word" were carried on. Ma Jin's balancing leniency with strictness (宽严相济, kuan yan xiang ji - "wide, strict, mutually, assist") won her the trust and reliance of her team members, and also enabled Mexican diving talent to keep emerging.
From Paola Espinosa winning the first world championship at the 2009 Rome World Championships, to winning silver and bronze at the Olympics, under Ma Jin's coaching to this day, the Mexican diving team has harvested more than 300 medals at various international competitions. At the end of 2012, in recognition of her contributions to sports cultural exchange between Mexico and China, the Mexican government awarded her the"Order of the Aztec Eagle." This is the highest honor that the Mexican government bestows upon foreigners.
Osmar, aged 22, has trained under Ma Jin for nearly 10 years and has grown into a rising star of Mexican diving. He won 1 silver and 1 bronze in the men's springboard event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and then won his first World Championship gold medal in 2025, with his career's "Grand Slam" now missing only the Olympic gold medal as the"final piece of the puzzle." "Now his training needs to be 'less but more refined,' and we also need to prevent injuries and illness." Ma Jin hopes to help Osmar realize his dream as soon as possible.
Batch after batch of athletes have grown up under Ma Jin's cultivation, and diving's profile in Mexico has risen higher and higher. "The children here love adventure and challenge, have a relaxed mindset, and a strong sense of happiness——all of these are worth learning from, and they are also my motivation to move forward." Ma Jin said.

Polishing details, raising the quality of complete routines, adjusting mentality... As the drumbeat of the Asian Games grows increasingly clear, the Chinese gymnastics team has also entered its final preparation phase. The scores of rival competitors posted on the whiteboard in the gymnastics hall fill the training with a sense of urgency.
For this Asian Games, the Chinese gymnastics team's men's squad has sent Zhang Boheng, Zou Jingyuan, Lan Xingyu, Sun Wei, and Tian Hao to compete, while the women's squad consists of five team members: Ke Qinqin, Zhang Qingying, Qiu Qiyuan, Zhang Yihan, and Du Siyu. Among them, apart from Tian Hao, all members of the men's squad have prior Asian Games experience, while all five women's squad members will be embarking on their first Asian Games journey.
Chang Cheng, director of the Gymnastics Administrative Center of the General Administration of Sport of China and its Party Committee Secretary, stated that as the defending champions of both the men's and women's team events at the previous Asian Games, the team faces no small challenge competing on the road this time. He introduced: "In the eight apparatus finals of men's gymnastics at the Paris Olympics, Asian teams claimed seven of those gold medals, and in every individual event we will encounter competitors at world-class level." On the other hand, changes to the competition format have placed higher demands on the athletes' physical fitness reserves and the like.
The gymnastics competition at this Asian Games will be held from September 21 to 25. Compared with the Olympics and World Championships, at this Asian Games the qualification round and the individual all-around final are held simultaneously, adopting the 543 format, that is, each team registers 5 athletes, 4 athletes compete on each apparatus, and the 3 best scores are counted toward the qualification round team total; the team final adopts the 533 format, each team registers 5 athletes, 3 athletes compete on each apparatus, and the 3 best scores are counted toward the final team total. Chang Cheng stated that this kind of format arrangement makes the competition rhythm more compact, bringing greater challenges to preparation and competition.
In order to adapt to the changes in the competition format, the Chinese gymnastics team conducted a 3-day practical test last week, simulating the real competition environment.
"This competition is different from previous ones—the qualification round is the all-around final, which requires us to change our tactics and quickly bring out our form." Zhang Boheng said. Zou Jingyuan completed his new routine on the rings apparatus, and although the effect was quite good, he stated: "The rhythm and environment during competition will pose greater challenges than during the test, and I hope to use this final period of time to further refine the movements and adjust my mentality."
The five young members of the women's squad also gained something from the test. Zhang Qingying stated that through the simulated test they have adapted somewhat to the new format; although the pressure will be somewhat greater, the team has great cohesion, and everyone will be encouraging one another (加油打气, jia you da qi - "add oil, hit air"). "For our upcoming preparation, we need to keep a calm mindset and, following the normal training rhythm, execute every movement and every essential point to the fullest." Qiu Qiyuan, who scored highly in the uneven bars and balance beam tests, said, "Winning the Asian Games team title consecutively is our biggest goal."

"I stood up!" said Yan Le, a tourist from Wuhan, Hubei, as he played back a video for his daughter — in the phone screen, he was unsteadily paddling a paddleboard.
The 308-square-kilometer waters of Lushan West Sea in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, are like a magnet, drawing in large numbers of tourists from surrounding provinces and cities.
On the lake surface, jet skis pulled white arcs, sailboats leaned past sideways with the wind, and young people rode the wake, chasing the waves — the daily reception volume of water sports programs kept rising, and the outdoor swimming pool was lined with flip-flops. Yan Le's family of three had an itinerary packed completely full (满满当当, man man dang dang - "full, full, packed"), unlocking paddleboarding in the morning and trying scuba diving in the afternoon; his daughter, wearing a mermaid costume underwater for a photo op, exclaimed excitedly: "The water is so clear!"
"In the past, coming to West Sea meant taking a boat around the islands for a lap, taking a photo, and leaving; now you can get in the water and play, browse the market, and even watch competitions." These words voiced the sentiments of quite a few tourists. Since being selected in 2025 for the national first batch of high-quality outdoor sports destination construction list, Lushan West Sea has invested nearly 3 billion yuan cumulatively to improve outdoor sports supporting facilities, completing a national fitness sports center, a water sports base, the Yao Chi Wan International Angling Center, and a number of other high-standard venues; relying on its possessing unique and abundant natural advantages (得天独厚, de tian du hou - "get, heaven, unique, thick") in water resources, it has established more than 10 water sports programs including sailing, paddleboarding, diving, angling, and jet skiing, while simultaneously laying out land-based programs such as pickleball and tennis, forming a whole-region outdoor sports landscape advancing on both water and land.
"Originally I'd only set aside two days of itinerary, but now it looks like I'll need to add two more." Yan Le said with a smile — splashing through the waves by day, swinging a racket for leisure by evening, the rhythm of a sports vacation is both relaxed and fulfilling.
In recent years, multiple high-spec competitions have successively entered West Sea, including the Asia-Pacific Pickleball Union Cup, the ITF International Men's Tennis Tour, and the National Angling Club Challenge Finals, covering diverse sports categories on water and land, pushing "competition venues becoming scenic spots, watching competitions being tourism" to take root and become firmly established (落地生根, luo di sheng gen - "fall, ground, grow, root")。
As the sun sets, the bustle on shore is equally splendid. Since the summer period, Lushan West Sea has received over 100,000 tourist visits, with water sports program participants accounting for 50 percent of tourists, generating economic benefits exceeding 10 million yuan.
Return to TopIn the autumn days of the Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of southwestern Guizhou's Qianxinan, the sky is high and the clouds are pale, mountain breezes bring coolness. Every weekend, on the Migu Square of the Ameiqiqituo Town in Qinglong County, tourists from all over and local people dance together the traditional Yi dance Ameiqiqituo, stamping the ground to the beat, dancing sleeve-in-sleeve, sketching out a vivid picture of cultural-and-tourism integration among Guizhou's mountains and waters.
On December 27, 2025, Guizhou's "Village Dance" series of activities was launched at the Migu Square of Ameiqiqituo Town. Since the beginning of this year, the series has covered multiple sites including Qinglong County and Xingyi City in Qianxinan Prefecture, threading together nodes such as the Spring Festival and the Torch Festival, using the earth as the stage and the mountains and waters as the backdrop, with the Yi Ameiqiqituo, the Buyi bran-bag dance, and the Miao bench dance taking turns to appear. During the Spring Festival period this year, urban and rural people across Qianxinan Prefecture spontaneously organized nearly 200 sessions of "Village Dance" activities. From deep-mountain intangible cultural heritage to a cultural-tourism calling card, ethnic folk dance is becoming a new force in Guizhou's "village-brand" matrix of brands.
Nourishing the fertile soil of the brand Condensing the joint force of "village-brand" development
From "Village BA" and "Village Super" to "Village T", "Village Marathon" and "Village Evening", and then to "Village Dance", Guizhou's "village-brand" mass cultural-and-sports IPs have kept "going viral." This is by no means an accidental traffic effect, but rather the inevitable result of the resonance between the blending of multi-ethnic cultures and the spiritual-and-cultural needs of the masses.
This year, the General Office of the People's Government of Guizhou Province issued the "Guiding Opinions on Continuously Polishing Guizhou's 'Village-Brand' Brands," deploying 12 specific measures across 3 aspects around cultivating and developing the "village-brand" brands. As an important component of Guizhou's "village-brand" brand matrix, "Village Dance" is stepping up its voice to tread the vigorous beat of comprehensive rural revitalization.
Rooted in local soil and participated in by the whole people, the "village-brand" activities have become an important window displaying the new elegance of Chinese modernization in Guizhou. The brilliantly varied and wonderful (精彩纷呈, jing cai fen cheng - "splendid, wonderful; colorful, varied") mass cultural-and-sports activities convey an image of Guizhou with cultural diversity, livable ecology, and people's happiness. People of all ethnic groups dancing together on the same stage, gathering together happily in one place (欢聚一堂, huan ju yi tang - "joyfully gather together; gather in one hall"), add color and luster to the magnificent scroll painting of the pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation.
Displaying the charm of intangible cultural heritage Achieving dual improvement in culture and people's livelihoods
Ameiqiqituo is a transliteration of the Yi language, meaning "the dance of the bride's departure," characterized by stamping the ground to the beat and performing without instrumental accompaniment, handed down through generations within local Yi wedding customs, folk customs, and festivals, and was included in the national-level representative list of intangible cultural heritage items in 2014. The important birthplace of Ameiqiqituo is the former Sanbao Yi Township (now Sanbao Subdistrict) of Qinglong County, located deep in the Wangyun Mountains.
In 2019, the entire former Sanbao Yi Township was relocated to a centralized resettlement site for poverty-alleviation relocation near the outskirts of Qinglong County, with nearly 6,000 people collectively moving into the Ameiqiqituo Town, which covers a planned area of 1,450 mu. The town has a complete supporting system: water, electricity, and gas are connected to households; commercial supermarkets, schools, and health centers are laid out nearby; the living conditions of the people have been fundamentally improved, laying a solid foundation for welcoming a better life.
Ameiqiqituo Town, based on its ethnic cultural endowments, adheres to the coordinated advancement of "relocation + industry + culture," formed the Ameiqiqituo Art Troupe, carries out professional skill training for the relocated people, promotes the transformation of traditional folk customs and skills into stable employment channels, and has driven a large number of relocated people to find employment locally. In 2021, the town was rated a national 4A-level tourist attraction, becoming a tourism calling card of Qinglong County.
Under the leadership of provincial-level representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, more than 200 local practitioners have deeply excavated ethnic cultural elements such as song-and-dance and clothing, promoting traditional dance to move from village festivals to normalized performances at scenic spots. Simultaneously, 6 Ameiqiqituo dance transmission institutes have been built, carrying out an average of more than 20 teaching activities per year, entering schools, entering communities, entering villages, consolidating the talent foundation for the living transmission of intangible cultural heritage.
A better life has opened a new chapter. Ameiqiqituo Town coordinates employment training, industrial introduction, public service upgrading, and community cultural development, supporting the Sanbao Industrial Park, introducing business operators, and broadening nearby employment channels for the people. The having a long and continuous history (源远流长, yuan yuan liu chang - "source is far, flow is long") intangible cultural heritage dance has become a signature cultural symbol of the town and an important support for relocated people to increase income and become prosperous.
Deepening cultural-and-tourism integration Activating new momentum for economic development
Guizhou's "Village Dance" is rooted in the local soil of Qianxinan Prefecture and is a native-born fruit of ethnic culture. Qianxinan Prefecture is home to multiple ethnic groups living together, where ethnic folk dances such as the Yi Ameiqiqituo, the Buyi bran-bag dance, the Buyi zhuanchang dance, and the Miao bench dance have been being passed down from one generation to the next (代代相传, dai dai xiang chuan - "generation after generation; pass down from generation to generation"), with fields, village lanes, courtyards, and open grounds all serving as natural stages for the transmission of ethnic culture. Ethnic festival resources are abundant, including Wangmo's "March 3," Zhenfeng's "June 6," Qinglong's Torch Festival, and Xingren's "August 8"; "Village Dance" acts like a cultural bond, threading together scattered resources and forming a cluster effect.
The "Village Dance" series of activities launched at the end of 2025, with the theme "Dance Steps Converge on Guizhou's Villages Civilization Co-Mingles," integrates multi-ethnic dance resources, builds a cultural ecosystem shared by all the people, adheres to making the masses the protagonists and local soil the essence, breaks the traditional model of "performing on stage, watching from below," and promotes tourists to transform from "bystanders" into "participants," immersively feeling the vivid vitality of ethnic culture through co-dancing and interaction.
Cultural heat is continuously being converted into momentum for cultural-and-tourism development. According to preliminary calculations based on sample survey data from the Guizhou Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, from January to July this year, Qianxinan Prefecture received domestic tourists with a year-on-year increase of 9.02%, and total tourist spending increased by 9.64% year-on-year. The cultural-and-tourism industry is developing vigorously and prosperously (蓬勃发展, peng bo fa zhan - "flourishing, booming; vigorous development"), driving supporting formats such as specialty dining and homestays to upgrade in tandem, attracting tourists to shift from short-term sightseeing toward in-depth long-stay travel.
In addition, Qianxinan Prefecture has innovated the "Village Dance+" integration model, integrating "Village Dance" into fine tourist attractions such as Wanfenglin, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, and Anlong Zhaodi, creating product forms such as "Village Dance + Story" and "Village Dance + Intangible Cultural Heritage." Since 2026, Qianxinan Prefecture has continuously launched series of activities around themes such as "Spring Fills the Villages," "Cool Summer," and "Harvest Season," continuously enriching cultural-and-tourism supply and injecting lasting momentum into high-quality development of all-for-one tourism.
Deeply cultivating the fertile soil of culture Displaying the new elegance of colorful Guizhou
From August 6 to 9, the "Village Dance" of Guizhou and the series of activities for the 16th Torch Festival of Qinglong County landed at Ameiqiqituo Town, deeply integrating the Yi Torch folk custom with the "Village Dance" IP, launching diverse activities such as formation parades, intangible cultural heritage song-and-dance performances, drone light shows, and a thousand-person torch formation, highlighting the powerful appeal of ethnic culture and fully releasing the cultural charm of colorful Guizhou.
With the characteristic town as the carrier, the professional art troupe as the platform, and the transmission system as the soil, Qinglong County has now built a complete ethnic cultural ecosystem, allowing tourists, in addition to immersively experiencing ethnic folk dance, to better perceive the humanistic context and cultural heritage behind the dance.
From August 19 to 21, the original "Village Dance" production "Jin·Lan" of Guizhou, as the only selected work from Guizhou Province, appeared at the 7th National Ethnic Minority Literary and Art Performance, taking the stage of the Grand Theater of the Cultural Palace of Nationalities in Beijing for three consecutive nights. The production attracted widespread attention from overseas Chinese-language media, conveying to the world the development achievements and cultural elegance of Qianxinan Prefecture.
From deep-mountain villages to characteristic towns, from rural courtyards to the national stage, Guizhou's "Village Dance" has caught the drumbeat of the times, becoming a vivid practice of culture empowering comprehensive rural revitalization, and also a vivid epitome of local culture radiating new brilliance in the process of Chinese modernization.
At present, Guizhou is using its "village-brand" brand matrix as support to promote the two-way enhancement and coordinated progress of the cultural value and economic value of "Village Dance." The dance steps never cease, the cultural vein stretches long; Guizhou's "Village Dance" will continue to deeply cultivate the fertile soil of ethnic culture, explore practical paths for culture to empower comprehensive rural revitalization, let colorful Guizhou radiate new cultural brilliance, and stride toward a broader stage.

In the morning light of the Andes Mountains, the Caral archaeological workstation in the city of Supe, Peru, welcomed an important signing ceremony: on August 21 local time, the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reached a cooperation agreement with the Caral Archaeological Zone of the Ministry of Culture of Peru and the Faculty of Archaeology of the National University of San Marcos, to jointly study the Caral civilization — the earliest civilization yet discovered in the Americas. One of the signing parties, the Faculty of Archaeology of the National University of San Marcos, was precisely the academic institution with which the Chinese archaeological delegation had conducted key exchanges during its first visit to Peru in 1973.
From the first step onto the South American continent, to the excavation of the Copán Maya ruins in Honduras, and then to the joint study of the Caral civilization, the rendezvous of civilizations between Chinese and Latin American archaeological circles, spanning the Pacific Ocean, has already written more than half a century of history.
Exchanges from more than half a century ago
The story must begin with the spring of 1973. In April of that year, Xia Nai, Wang Zhongshu and others from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (later placed under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) formed a Chinese archaeological delegation and, at invitation, visited Peru and Mexico, turning the first page in Sino-Latin American archaeological exchanges.
During more than 20 days in Peru, the delegation's footsteps covered places such as the Chavín site, the ancient city of Chan Chan, and Machu Picchu, with the renowned Peruvian archaeologist and head of the Archaeology Department of the National University of San Marcos, Lumbreras, accompanying them throughout. In his diary, Xia Nai made detailed and professional records of the era and layout of each site. On the return trip from inspecting the Chavín site, the car's exhaust leaked, and Xia Nai and Lumbreras were both poisoned together, being sent to the Recoleta Hospital for oxygen treatment — this "shared ordeal" became a special footnote to their friendship. At parting, Lumbreras proposed an exchange of specimens, and the Chinese side replied, "Let's talk about it in the future."
In mid-May, the delegation moved on to Mexico. Xiong Xianghui, then Chinese ambassador to Mexico, along with scholars from the Mexican National Association of Anthropology and History (the predecessor of the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History), welcomed them at the airport. Over the following more than two weeks, Chinese archaeologists visited nearly all the major sites of the Mexican highlands and Gulf coast: the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon at Teotihuacan, the Pyramid of the Niches at El Tajín, the ancient Toltec capital of Tula… What moved Xia Nai most was the Chinese porcelain, stone implements, and ivory artifacts he saw in the display room of a colonial-era church. These old objects from the 17th and 18th centuries, transported across the ocean to the Americas by Spanish merchant ships back then, added a touch of feeling a sense of familiarity when meeting an acquaintance in a foreign land (他乡遇故知, ta xiang yu gu zhi - "other, land, meet, old, friend") to this trip to Mexico.
In 1974, Peruvian and Mexican archaeological delegations successively paid return visits to China, touring archaeological sites and museums in many parts of the country, thereby opening two-way exchanges between Chinese and Latin American archaeological circles.
Joint archaeological exploration of Copán
The passage of time (斗转星移, dou zhuan xing yi -"fight, turn, star, move") passed, and the agreement of "let's talk about it in the future" from back then became reality in the new century.
In 2015, the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences signed a cooperation agreement with the Honduran Institute of Anthropology and History, and a joint archaeological team entered the Copán site, launching the first field archaeology project headed by Chinese archaeologists in Central America. Copán is called "the Athens of the Maya world," and the 8N-11 compound excavated by the team was the highest-ranking aristocratic residence second only to the royal palace. During the excavation, a curious coincidence occurred: the team members drove away a snake, looked down, and there, at their feet, was a Maya dragon-head sculpture, with its raised round nose and curled whiskers, looking very much like a Chinese dragon. And in Maya civilization, the dragon also happened to govern rain. This scene remains unforgettable to the archaeologists of both countries who were present. Over several years, 49 tombs, groups of jade artifacts, and reliefs of the Maize God were unearthed one after another, and the rise and fall of the Copán city-state was for the first time corroborated through the evolution of an aristocratic family.
Joint excavation was also a process of adaptation and mutual learning in archaeological methodology.The Chinese side brought drone aerial photography and three-dimensional modeling, while the Honduran side continued to use the traditional Maya tunnel excavation method — digging horizontal tunnels along building platforms to look for early tombs, a method that has persisted in Maya archaeology for nearly a century. At first, neither side could convince the other, so the archaeologists of the two countries simply each drew their own map of the same excavation unit and laid them side by side for comparison. The three-dimensional models restored the collapse of stone blocks and the superimposition of strata with complete clarity, so Honduran colleagues began to learn the new technology, while Chinese scholars also began to study the tunnel excavation method.
In 2024, China's National Cultural Heritage Administration and Honduras's Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage signed an agreement on promoting exchanges and cooperation in the field of cultural heritage, stipulating the deepening of cooperation in archaeological research, display, and utilization of the Copán site. As of 2026, the first phase excavation report of Copán has been completed.
The road of cooperation keeps widening
If field excavation is a dialogue among scholars, then museum exhibitions bring Chinese and Latin American civilizations face to face with hundreds of millions of people.
In 2016, the exhibition"Neighbors Though Far Apart — Treasures of Chinese Civilization" opened in Lima, capital of Peru, where the Terracotta Warriors, having traveled across the ocean, sparked a local viewing craze; in 2024, the exhibition"Light of the Sun: Mutual Learning Between the Ancient Shu Civilization and the Inca Civilization" entered Cusco, Peru, where Sanxingdui bronze masks and Inca gold artifacts shared the same stage. At the same time, treasures of Latin American cultural relics have also entered Chinese exhibition halls batch by batch: in 2024, the special exhibition"Inca — Civilization of the Ancient Andes of Peru" at the Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu, Sichuan, brought together 168 pieces (sets) of treasures from 14 Peruvian museums, attracting over 600,000 visitors; in the same year, at the special exhibition"Farewell to the Inca — Civilization of the Ancient Andes of Peru" at the Yunnan Provincial Museum, Chavín ceramic bottles, Nazca polychrome pottery drums, Sicán gold masks, and Inca quipu knot records drew repeated gasps of wonder from visitors. This year, the exhibition"Corn, Gold, Jaguar — The Great Exhibition of Ancient Maya and Andean Civilizations" had just opened at the Capital Museum in Beijing, when the Shanghai Museum's"At the Top of the World Tree: Great Exhibition of Ancient American Civilizations" followed close behind — nearly 3,000 artifacts, coming from Mexico, Peru, and China, required two Boeing 777 cargo aircraft traveling nearly 30,000 kilometers round trip to complete the transport, making it one of the world's largest special exhibitions on ancient American civilizations. Visitors threading among the ancient artifacts in the galleries felt as if they were wandering among great civilizations.
Beyond the exhibition halls, the map of Sino-Latin American archaeological cooperation is still expanding. In May this year, the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History signed an agreement with Shandong University to jointly establish a joint archaeological research center. On the day the agreement was signed, August 21, a Sino-Peruvian joint archaeological team immediately set out to survey the sacred city of Caral and the Aspero site in Peru. The Caral civilization arose around 3000 BC, and around the same period, the course of civilization in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the West Liao River valley in China also accelerated greatly, presenting a situation in which diverse civilizations saw a period of great diversity and flourishing in arts or thought (百花齐放, bai hua qi fang -"hundred, flowers, all, bloom"). Archaeologists of the two countries, working shoulder to shoulder on comparative studies of early civilizations, are engaging in an exploration of the diversity of world civilizations and also in a practice of the view of civilizations characterized by equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness.
Seeds of cooperation have also been planted in the hearts of young people. From the very beginning, the Copán project absorbed doctoral students into fieldwork, and a group of young scholars has now become the backbone of Mesoamerican civilization research. In 2016, 25 Peruvian youths participated in the"Peru Cultural Heritage Protection and Cultural Relics Archaeology Training Course," in which Chinese experience provided more solutions for the protection of Peruvian stone cultural relics, underwater heritage protection, and site park planning. With the launch of the Caral project, the joint archaeological team will again gain many young faces. Through cooperation after cooperation, a three-dimensional pattern of cooperation between Chinese and Latin American archaeology — covering field excavation, scientific archaeology, heritage protection, and joint cultivation of talent — is taking shape.
Chinese civilization and the Maya and Inca civilizations, separated by vast oceans, nonetheless echo each other across the distance in astronomy and calendars, jade traditions, and sun worship. Xia Nai noticed back then that the"sun dial" at Machu Picchu worked on the same principle as China's sundial; at the Xochicalco site in Mexico, he also made a special note of a rock cave — at noon on the summer solstice, sunlight shone straight down through a small hole in the cave roof, which turned out to be a natural astronomical observation device, reminding him of China's gnomon-and-shadow measurement method.
A Chinese archaeologist, observing carefully on the American continent, saw in it both a foreign land and a homeland. The Inca quipu and the Chinese bamboo slips, the Maya dragon and the Chinese dragon, each growing in its own way, reaching the same destination via different routes (殊途同归, shu tu tong gui -"different, path, same, return") —the ancients created diverse and varied forms of human civilization, appreciating the unique beauty of each individual or culture (各美其美, ge mei qi mei -"each, beautiful, its, beautiful"), and sharing beauty together. The significance of mutual learning among civilizations is not to rank them high or low, nor to prove who influenced whom, but rather, in the mirror of the other, to see the other clearly and to see oneself clearly.
Archaeologists are often asked: separated by an entire Pacific Ocean, what relationship can two civilizations possibly have? Now the answer can be given: the relationship lies not in blood, but in dialogue. From Xia Nai's writing back then, moved by Machu Picchu, that it was"unforgettable," to today's joint archaeological teams wielding trowels shoulder to shoulder, Chinese and Latin American archaeological circles have proven over more than half a century — civilizations communicate because of diversity, learn from each other through communication, and develop through mutual learning. Mountains and seas do not make distance; the shipping routes crossing the Pacific and the strata beneath the trowels are both jointly writing a new chapter of exchange and mutual learning among civilizations.

When the Nile shimmers with rippling light, meeting the towering peaks of the Great Wall
Like a strand of silk stretching onward, linking two ancient civilizations
The insightful minds of People's Daily traverse vast expanses of misty waves
To gather with us within this city of long history and weathered walls
Egyptian and Chinese media join hands as one, weaving through the river beneath the blazing sun
Journeying together, sharing friendship, with open hearts and soaring eloquence
Standing at the TEDA Economic and Trade Zone, gazing at the winding Suez Canal
By the waterside, in the Confucius Institute, the sound of reading rises like joyful song
The wisdom of China's ancient sages shines with a radiant luster
The visits and exchanges of media friends, past and present, burn with fervent passion
Our thoughts converge in the heavens, painting new colors
Bearing shared aspirations, hoping humanity and the world unite in common purpose
Egyptian-Chinese commerce and culture, a bond enduring through ages like a starry night
By the banks of the Nile and the shores of the Yangtze, inscribing golden years
The arrival of kin and colleagues fills our hearts with tranquility
The bond forged of soul and ingenuity will surely become becoming more vibrant over time (历久弥新, li jiu mi xin - "endure long time, become more new")
When each dawn arrives as promised across the clear sky
When each round of bright moon again proclaims the coming of night
You in our memories are like brilliant stars that never dim
And remain in our hearts, sowing the warm sun of friendship
The pyramids will long tell the tales of these bygone years
The Great Wall, stretching ten thousand li, extends its arms to welcome a new chapter in Egyptian-Chinese friendship

From August 23 to 27, reporters from People's Daily and 11 major Egyptian media outlets, together with Egyptian experts, scholars, and internet influencers — nearly 30 people in total — visited multiple locations across Egypt, went deep into the sites of China-Egypt friendly cooperation projects, and conducted joint interviews.
During the joint visits to the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone, the Confucius Institute at Suez Canal University, and other sites, Ashraf Abou Al-Afi, editor-in-chief of Egypt's Diplomatic News Network, was deeply moved, and at the Red Sea coastal city of Suez Springs, he improvised a poem titled "The Warm Sun in the Heart," earnestly asking us to translate and polish it on his behalf.
Arabic is a poeticized language — its sound, rhyme, form, and sentiment form a unique and coherent whole, and both its literal semantics and internal logic are quite distinctive. During the translation process, we communicated with Ashraf on multiple occasions, striving to fully convey the poem's original meaning, and, in accordance with the conventions of the Chinese language and the poetic mood, carried out reasonable splitting and selection, extension, and polishing."The Warm Sun in the Heart" reviews, between the lines, the splendid journey of this joint interview, expresses deep feelings about this joint interview, and beautiful expectations that China-Egypt traditional friendship will welcome a new chapter, giving readers a greater understanding and appreciation of the enduring, ever-fresh China-Egypt friendship.

In July this year, at the opening ceremony of the International Film Festival of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states and the "Great Silk Road" theme concert held in Kyrgyzstan, a Chinese bamboo flute performer collaborated with the Kyrgyzstan National Symphony Orchestra to perform the Chinese folk music "Hanging Red Lanterns." In the light and lively melody, the bamboo flute and the strings responded to each other, and audience members immersed in the festive and joyful atmosphere of Chinese New Year celebrations hung with lanterns and decorated with festoons rose to applaud. In August, the 14th Cevennes Music Festival opened in Lassalle, a small town in southern France. This classical music grand event, for the first time, incorporated the Chinese bamboo flute into its core exhibition performance segment, with young Chinese performers playing the bamboo flute in the ancient town square, traditional workshops, and mountain concert halls, as the oriental charm of bamboo slowly flowed through the mountains of southern France.
The Chinese bamboo flute, frequently appearing on the international stage, possesses a profound historical and cultural heritage. More than 8,000 years ago, the bone flutes of Jiahu in Henan had their sound holes arranged in orderly sequence, and some of them can still be played today, serving as physical evidence that ancient Chinese ancestors made wind instruments. Regarding the making of wind instruments from bamboo, the Lüshi Chunqiu (Annals of Lü Buwei),, compiled during the Warring States period, contains a legendary account: the Yellow Emperor ordered the music official Ling Lun to establish musical pitches; Ling Lun cut bamboo to make pipes and created the twelve pitch standards.
If one wishes to find the appearance of the bamboo flute from over a thousand years ago, the Dunhuang murals provide pictorial evidence. In the music-and-dance mural on the south wall of Cave 112 at Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, a flute-playing musician has his eyebrows and eyes lowered, holding the transverse flute to his lips, with his fingers covering the flute's holes, and the blowing hole and finger holes clearly discernible; beside him, musicians either plucked the ruan and konghou, or struck the Western Regions' jiegu drum; at the center of the scene, a musician dancing while playing a pipa behind her back, her robes and sashes fluttering… This "concert" frozen upon the wall is also a vivid testimony to the cultural convergence of the Silk Road.
In modern and contemporary times, the bamboo flute and the dizi-xiao have left an even clearer footprint overseas. In 1915, Guizhou's Yuping bamboo flutes traveled across the vast ocean and won a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The renowned flute performer Lu Chunling visited more than 70 countries and regions throughout his life, spreading the sound of Jiangnan silk-and-bamboo music to the world. Today, more and more Chinese folk music academies are being established overseas, and the bamboo flute has transformed from "going out" to "staying put."
Through the movie screen, the bamboo flute has entered the auditory memory of more overseas audiences. In the American animated film Kung Fu Panda, multiple Chinese musical elements are blended into the Western orchestral music; in the opening piece "Hero," the melodious bamboo flute melody carries audiences into the artistic conception of traditional Chinese culture. In the film, the red panda master also once held a bamboo flute and played alone beneath a tree. Amidst the splendid kung fu fight scenes, the quiet flute sound highlights the character's wisdom and composure, becoming a classic segment of the film brimming with oriental charm
Today, the encounter between the bamboo flute and the world occurs not only across tens of thousands of miles, but also "at the doorstep." During the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, more than 10 intangible cultural heritage items, including the Chinese bamboo flute, Zhejiang-school guqin, and West Lake silk umbrellas, appeared at the Chinese Culture Exhibition. Inheritors demonstrated flute-making techniques on site, while volunteers explained alongside; a single bamboo flute became a window through which guests from various countries came to know traditional Chinese music. The origin of the Chinese bamboo flute is Zijing Village, west of Hangzhou city. This small mountain village, with a population of fewer than 3,000 people, gathers more than 80 flute-making enterprises, producing approximately 4.5 million bamboo flutes annually, accounting for about 85% of the global performance bamboo flute market share —the title "Hometown of the Chinese Bamboo Flute" is well-deserved
From bamboo growing in the mountains to the instrument in the hands of flute players, the sound of the flute travels across vast oceans, with its clear tone lingering around the rafters. The oriental rhythm it carries transcends time and space, striking new echoes amid the listening and resonance of diverse cultures

From the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul in the heart of Central Asia to the ancient ruins of Samarkand, from the Silk Road sites of Termez to the snowy mountain passes of the Wakhan Corridor, this vast hinterland stretching across the Eurasian continent has long been both a crossroads of Silk Road civilization and a close neighbor we know well yet understand little. Guo Jianlong, a writer of history and literature, has published his new work Through Central Asia: In Search of China's Historical Imprints (see photo, file image) this May with CITIC Press Group. The author visited more than 60 sites of ancient cities, Buddhist temples, and astronomical observatories, measuring mountains and rivers with his footsteps and linking past and present with historical records, unfolding before us a colorful long scroll of more than 2,000 years of civilizational exchange between China and Central Asia.
Through Central Asia jumps out of the narrative framework of merely chronicling Central Asian history through on-the-ground reconnaissance and documentary research, anchoring the entire book to the main thread of "searching for China's imprints," making the scattered remnants of Chinese civilization across the Central Asian heartland a key to understanding Silk Road exchanges. The book is divided into six chapters, laid out successively along the Silk Road routes: the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains, Fergana, the upper Amu Darya, Samarkand, Khwarezm, and Tokharistan unfold in turn: one geographical walking route, one thread of civilizational exchange, two lines interwoven, reflecting each other.
The most moving aspect lies in the book's historical narrative rooted in the sites themselves. In the opening, the author writes: "In others' eyes, this is merely an ordinary earthen mound; in my eyes, it is a famous historical site." This sentence can almost be regarded as the methodology of the entire book. At the ruins of Suyab in Kyrgyzstan, he cross-references Tang dynasty historical records with the Biography of the Tripitaka Master of the Great Ci'en Monastery, identifying remains of the Tang dynasty Anxi Protectorate military garrison and recounting the legend that Li Bai was born here. Pausing at the ruins of Balasagun, he explores the rise and fall of this key Silk Road town; at the ruins of Ershi City in the Fergana Basin, he reconstructs the story of Li Guangli's quest for Heavenly Horses during the Han dynasty. Unlike the interpretation of historical sources deduced on paper in the study, the history under Guo Jianlong's pen has wind and sand, has wilderness, has broken bricks and tiles—the abstract Silk Road terms of the textbooks land as tangible, climbable real geographical coordinates. For ordinary readers and even researchers in related fields, these observations also provide a sense of on-site presence beyond the documents.
The "flow" panorama running through the entire book is the code to unlocking the vitality of Silk Road civilization. Over the Silk Road's thousand years, the core lies in exchanging what one has for what another needs (互通有无, hu tong you wu - "mutually exchange, have, not have") and two-way flow. Population migration broke down regional barriers, commodity trade linked Eastern and Western markets, diverse thought nourished brilliant civilizations, and craftsmanship and technology iterated and innovated through learning from each other through exchange (交流互鉴, jiao liu hu jian - "exchange, interact, mutual, learn from each other"). Sogdian merchants hurried along the Eurasian Silk Road, Turkic tribes migrated nomadically, Buddhist civilization spread along the route—people of different regions and different ethnic groups met and merged in the Silk Road city-states. The "Chinese imprints" explored in the book are by no means isolated sites and relics or scattered historical stories, but rather multi-layered civilizational achievements accumulated through long-term interaction, exchange, and mutual learning between China and Central Asia.
This book does not stop at looking back at ancient exchanges, but also records the human life of contemporary Central Asia along the way, completing a face-to-face encounter between history and the present. The author goes deep into Kyrgyzstani villages and Uzbekistani streets, recording the daily life, production, and living of ordinary people in markets, streets, border crossings, and casual conversations during travel. Wherever the ancient Silk Road trade routes lay, today highways connect mountains and seas, border crossings bustle with continuous traffic, and the historical exchanging what one has for what another needs has transformed into tangible livelihood connections in the present. This kind of writing that contrasts ancient and modern allows readers to understand: the bond between China and Central Asia has become more vibrant with the passage of time, and a thousand years of exchange have settled into a shared civilizational undertone shared by both lands.
Through Central Asia's walking-style, immersive historical writing also provides contemporary readers with a brand-new perspective for understanding the world and comprehending civilizations. For a long time, people's understanding of Central Asia has often been confined to labels such as grasslands and deserts, nomadic civilizations, and geopolitical hubs. But the real Central Asia possesses both the profound heritage of ancient civilizations and the vigorous vitality of modern society—it has both the ancient city of Samarkand bearing a thousand years of civilizational glory and Bishkek surging with the dynamism of a modern metropolis. The meaning of walking lies precisely in breaking down label-based, one-sided perceptions, transforming abstract geographical concepts into concrete, perceptible human spaces, and giving distant lands and unfamiliar place names a living human warmth and a three-dimensional appearance of the times.
At present, the ancient Silk Road is radiating new vitality, witnessing international cooperation and civilizational exchange in the new era. China and Central Asian countries continue to consolidate political mutual trust, deepen economic and trade cooperation, and grow ever closer people-to-people exchanges—the thousand-year memory of the Silk Road and the modern connectivity network resonate at the same frequency, complementing each other to enhance their respective qualities (相得益彰, xiang de yi zhang - "mutually benefit, enhance, brilliance"). Looking back at the footsteps of the sages a thousand years ago, and looking ahead to the prospects for cooperation, "connectivity" and"coexistence" have always been the unchanging theme of the times for this land. What the Silk Road connects is not only city-states, border crossings, markets, and industries, but also mutual understanding, mutual trust, and helping and supporting each other in times of need (守望相助, shou wang xiang zhu - "watch, look, mutual, help") among different civilizations. When we follow the routes in the book and use history as a mirror, we can see more clearly: the exchange and mutual learning between China and Central Asia, spanning a thousand years, will ultimately continue to write a new chapter of achieving mutual benefits and win-win results (互利共赢, hu li gong ying - "mutual, benefit, together, win") and shared civilization in the new era.

In cities, there are both "graffiti-style" guide brochures and park hand-washing sinks that have become "shorter," as well as "child-wrangling compartments" on high-speed trains where children can play... These small changes reflect the beautiful reality that the concept of a child-friendly society has been able to take root and become established.
Opening the child-friendly guide brochure released this year by Shanghai's Yangpu District, one finds more than a thousand children's records of riverside vegetation and city observations, written with immature paintbrushes and sincere words. These pictures and words come from the children's purest "one-meter perspective," becoming the best "evidence" for evaluating the construction of a child-friendly city. From the "graffiti-style" city guide brochure, we can see the soft details of building a child-friendly society, catch a glimpse of the warm side of a better life, and perceive the vivid imprint of social civilization's progress.
Today, in cities, there are both"graffiti-style" guide brochures and park hand-washing sinks that have become "shorter," as well as "child-wrangling compartments" on high-speed trains where children can play... These small changes reflect the beautiful reality that the concept of a child-friendly society has been able to take root and become established.
The construction of a child-friendly society concerns every family. From the immediate perspective, many places still have problems such as insufficient child service facilities, large urban-rural gaps, and uneven services, which have become pain points for countless families and also affect the vitality of social development and the balanced development of the population. Promoting the construction of a child-friendly society across the whole society, from the short-term perspective, can effectively alleviate family parenting anxiety and help build a birth-friendly society by constructing service facilities, filling gaps in public services, and lowering the hidden costs of raising and educating children; from the long-term perspective, it is a vivid practice of investing in people, accumulating momentum for high-quality development of the economy and society by providing a fair and high-quality social growth environment.
Building a child-friendly society must be implemented as facilities and services that children can access. At the hardware level, comprehensively advance the child-appropriateness renovation of public spaces; in old residential communities, pocket parks, urban street corners, and other places children frequently visit, add child play, rest, and practice venues, so that children have more physical space to "run up and jump up." At the software level, implement various child-benefiting policies — raising the height and age limits for children's free admission to scenic areas, optimizing travel services at transportation hubs, etc. Only by putting in "embroidery-level effort" in both facilities and services can a fine-meshed service network of child-friendliness be woven
Building a child-friendly society should move from "providing for children" toward "participation by children." The key to building a child-friendly society lies in attending to children's life needs and activating their internal momentum to participate in joint construction. On the one hand, smooth the channels for children's participation and expression, establish long-term mechanisms, listen to children's true voices, encourage them to offer advice and suggestions for community renovation and urban planning, so that the "one-meter perspective" truly integrates into urban development; on the other hand, guide social organizations, enterprises, volunteers, and other multiple forces to participate jointly, enrich the supply of quality services such as research-based study, science popularization reading, psychological counseling, etc., create a good atmosphere across society of respecting children and caring for children, so that a child-friendly society expands from "government supply" to "whole-people joint construction."
Building a child-friendly society — safety is the bottom line, and safeguards are the key. We must concentrate on building a coordinated defense line of the "six major protections" of family, school, society, internet, government, and judiciary, leaving no blind spots and no dead corners, letting risk prevention run ahead of harm, and earnestly safeguarding the safe and healthy growth of minors. For vulnerable groups among children, especially must the warmth of the system be reflected: implement security policies for orphans, children de facto without guardianship, and children with disabilities, ensuring that "not a single one is left out"; establish ledgers for migrant and left-behind children, and implement precise "drip-irrigation-style" assistance. With the strongest barrier and the most delicate care, let every child receive warm protection
The construction of a child-friendly society should be a sustained, long-term effort. We must discard the tendency of "valuing form over substance" and guard against the misconception of "a passing gust of wind, surface show." Urban governance practitioners must clearly recognize: child-friendliness is not "surface show," but rather a "people's heart project" that every child and every family can see, touch, and enjoy. We must explore and establish cross-departmental, cross-regional long-term working mechanisms, continuously improve quality and efficiency through accumulating bit by bit over a long period of time in meticulous cultivation, so that the concept of child-friendliness truly integrates into the urban fabric, permeates daily life, takes firm root and becoming established, and becomes a conscious action of every person in society
Children are the future of the country and the hope of the nation. Comprehensively raise the level of child-friendly work in every city, realize a two-way rush between social development and child-friendliness, make development warmer and the people happier.

In July of last year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance issued the Notice on Implementing the Project of Issuing Elderly Care Service Consumption Subsidies to Elderly People with Moderate or Above Disability, proposing to organize and implement it nationwide by the end of 2025, in order to better meet the rigid demand of disabled elderly people for care services. Localities have responded actively and pushed forward the implementation of supporting measures to produce tangible results. As of the end of July this year, a cumulative total of 10.0792 million elderly care service consumption vouchers had been verified and written off, with the verified amount reaching 6.512 billion yuan, driving elderly care service consumption of 29.093 billion yuan, and nearly 2 million disabled elderly people have benefited from the project.
Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu and other places, in light of their local actual needs for elderly care services, have launched a number of innovative measures, effectively reducing the family care burden of elderly people with moderate or above disability, and promoting the healthy and orderly development of the elderly care service industry. Our reporter conducted interviews on this.
Beijing——
A light tap on the phone services arrive at the doorstep
In Beijing's Xicheng District, the afternoon sun streams into Zhang Jianguo's home. Wiping the window sills, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom, tidying up miscellaneous items... The cleaner from the community elderly care service station was extremely meticulous and careful (一丝不苟, yi si bu gou - "one thread, not a gap") in cleaning. Soon, the room became bright and airy, and 75-year-old Zhang Jianguo sat in his rattan chair, his expression also somewhat more relaxed. His wife, Dong Qing, was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
"With door-to-door services, I no longer have to, as before, have my heart 'burned' at both ends between caregiving and housework." Dong Qing told the reporter that her husband was physically frail, basically disabled, and needed close personal care for dressing, eating, and taking medication. In the past, she worked nonstop every day caring for her husband, exhausted,"It's not that I never thought about hiring someone, but we live on a fixed pension, and employing someone long-term is indeed a heavy burden."
At the end of last year, the state comprehensively rolled out elderly care service consumption subsidies for elderly people with moderate or above disability. According to the project arrangement, the consumption voucher quota for long-term residence in elderly care institutions, short-term residence in elderly care institutions, and daytime care is temporarily set at 800 yuan, while the consumption voucher quota for home-based door-to-door elderly care services is temporarily set at 500 yuan (the various types of consumption vouchers cannot be received concurrently). When elderly people with moderate or above disability purchase elderly care services, depending on the different items, they can use elderly care service consumption vouchers to offset 30%—60% of the cost, with the initial offset ratio being 40%.
Earlier this year, in order to further optimize the service experience, Beijing opened up the e-commerce service channel for elderly care service consumption subsidies. Disabled elderly people who have completed qualification review can directly book door-to-door elderly care services on e-commerce platforms, and when placing an order, the subsidy is automatically deducted, greatly simplifying the service process.
Dong Qing's husband was precisely one of the beneficiaries. After hearing about it from a neighbor, Dong Qing tried calling the community elderly care service station's phone number.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll explain it to you slowly." The staff member of the elderly care service station slowed down her speech, explaining item by item the application threshold, offset ratio, and service scope, and even breaking down in detail how to book the assessment and how the consumption voucher is verified and written off. Considering that the two elderly people were advanced in age and unfamiliar with online operations, the staff member handled everything on their behalf—proactively assisting with the online submission of the comprehensive functional assessment application for the elderly person, saving the elderly couple the trouble of running back and forth.
"After the assessment results came out and confirmed that my husband met the application criteria, the staff member again made a special trip to our home, guiding me step by step through the operation of receiving the consumption voucher, and also, based on the actual home situation of us old couple, helped us finalize a fixed weekly time slot for door-to-door full-house cleaning services." Dong Qing said.
For the first service order, according to the policy, most of the home cleaning cost was offset, and the out-of-pocket portion was much lower than the market price. Dong Qing praised the policy as practical and the service as thoughtful wherever she went:"The tangible benefits of elderly care benefiting the people are truly easily within reach (触手可得, chu shou ke de - "reach, hand, can, get")."
In Xicheng District, where Dong Qing lives, the tangible results of benefiting the people are steadily becoming prominent. Data shows that, as of the end of July this year, the district's elderly care service consumption vouchers had been verified and written off 1,987 times cumulatively, with the offline verified amount reaching 1.3092 million yuan.
In order to make elderly care services better benefit more disabled elderly people, Xicheng District has established precise files, one by one, for all 19,211 elderly people with moderate or above disability in the district who have undergone effective assessment, and has selected, through merit-based screening, 97 elderly care institutions, community service stations, and housekeeping service providers to settle into the subsidy service platform, building an integrated service supply network covering institutional elderly care, door-to-door care, and professional assessment.
"We have also simultaneously opened 5 district-level elderly care consultation hotlines, having cumulatively answered 5,364 consultations from the public." Wang Xing, director of the Elderly Comprehensive Service Center of Xicheng District Civil Affairs Bureau, introduced,"We will actively introduce more internet platforms and social forces to enrich the supply of elderly care services, improve the multi-level home-based elderly care service system, and effectively enhance the sense of gain, happiness, and security of elderly people in the jurisdiction."
Tianjin——
Multiple services diverse choices
Wu Meihua, who lives in Changhuali Community, Huayuan Subdistrict, Nankai District, Tianjin, is over seventy years old. Five years ago, she underwent knee replacement surgery. Due to insufficient post-surgical rehabilitation training, coupled with muscle atrophy caused by prolonged immobility, she has been bedridden year-round.
Not long ago, her husband, Wu Dali, went to a community elderly care service institution to consult about buying a bedside commode chair for his wife. After learning about the situation, the elderly care service institution introduced the door-to-door rehabilitation nursing service, and also introduced the elderly care service consumption subsidy policy. According to the policy, the rehabilitation training guidance and services that Wu Meihua needs belong to one of the 47 items covered by the home-based community elderly care service subsidy project.
Wu Dali was initially rather skeptical, and moreover did not know how to operate a mobile phone, nor was he comfortable letting others operate it on his behalf.
The elderly care service institution contacted the Changhuali Community Neighborhood Committee, and invited community grid workers to come to the home together, publicizing the elderly care service consumption subsidy policy, demonstrating case videos, and introducing the rehabilitation plan. In the end, the old couple dispelled their doubts and decided to give it a try.
Immediately afterwards, staff members of the elderly care service institution handled the procedures "one-on-one" for Wu Meihua, assisting the elderly woman in registering an account, filling in relevant information, booking a third-party professional assessment institution for a home visit assessment, helping the elderly woman apply for the electronic consumption voucher, and booking the rehabilitation service package. Every step was synchronized and reported to the family members in real time, with the entire process leaving traces, compliant and transparent. From application to the first door-to-door service, it took only 4 working days.
During the first door-to-door service, the rehabilitation therapist conducted an assessment of Wu Meihua from several aspects, including muscle strength grading, joint range of motion measurement, balance function testing, and psychological fear-of-falling index, and developed a targeted rehabilitation training plan.
Wu Dali calculated an account: 4 sessions of professional door-to-door rehabilitation per month, totaling 800 yuan, and using the elderly care service consumption voucher subsidy, 50% could be offset, saving an expenditure of 400 yuan.
Since Tianjin fully launched the project of issuing elderly care service consumption subsidies to elderly people with moderate or above disability in January 2026, nearly 39,000 disabled elderly people across the city, like Wu Meihua, have enjoyed the policy dividend.
Tianjin's elderly care service consumption subsidies are issued, through the "Minzheng Tong" APP or WeChat mini-program, in the form of electronic consumption vouchers, on a natural monthly basis, to eligible elderly people with moderate or above disability, for use in offsetting costs related to elderly care services, with the scope of use covering institutional elderly care, respite services, day care services, home-based door-to-door services, etc. The offset ratio for institutional elderly care services is 40%, the offset ratio for community home-based elderly care services is 50%, and each person can offset up to 800 yuan per month in both cases.
As of now, Tianjin has 453 elderly care institutions participating in the elderly care service consumption subsidy project, 341 community elderly care service institutions, 90 designated points set up by third-party assessment institutions, with a cumulative total of 221,000 consumption vouchers received, a cumulative verified subsidy amount of 119 million yuan, driving elderly care service consumption of approximately 580 million yuan.
In order to ensure that the project truly benefits more eligible elderly people, Tianjin has maximized the integration of policy resources, amplified the subsidy effect, expanded multiple types of home-based community service institutions, supported 102 long-term care insurance home-based door-to-door service institutions and 11 high-quality housekeeping and property management enterprises to participate in the project, enriched the categories of home-based door-to-door services, expanded diverse elderly care service scenarios, and better met the service needs of homebound disabled elderly people.
Jiangsu——
Living in an elderly care home also enjoys subsidies
In the morning, the sunlight is soft and the breeze gentle. Xu Jinqing, a caregiver at the Xiyanghong Rehabilitation Center, an elderly care institution in Wujin District, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, steadily pushes 82-year-old Grandpa Xue, who is in a wheelchair, for a stroll around the courtyard of the elderly care center. She sometimes chats with the old man, sometimes stops, accompanying the old man to admire the scenery in the courtyard.
After the Spring Festival this year, Grandpa Xue moved into the Xiyanghong Rehabilitation Center. His son passed away early in life. As the old man has grown older, he has needed more and more care, and his daughter-in-law, who has not yet retired, is too busy to attend to multiple tasks (分身乏术, fen shen fa shu - "divide, body, no, technique").
"Before the New Year, the old man was unsteady when walking, and more seriously, he had bowel and bladder incontinence, with his physical condition clearly deteriorating." Ms. Zhang said,"My mother-in-law once lived at the Xiyanghong Rehabilitation Center and was taken care of quite well. Considering that the family could not meet the old man's care needs, we decided to send the old man to this elderly care institution."
Before admission, the elderly care home specially conducted a professional assessment for Grandpa Xue, conducting a comprehensive evaluation from 4 dimensions: self-care ability, basic motor ability, mental state, and perception, sensation and social participation. The assessment result was moderate disability. Originally thinking that there would be additional care costs, what surprised Ms. Zhang was that, one month after admission, Grandpa Xue also enjoyed the consumption subsidy.
It turned out that, since January this year, Jiangsu has been issuing electronic consumption vouchers to elderly people aged 60 and above with moderate or above disability who are permanent residents of the province, achieving"subsidies follow the person, funds follow the services." Eligible elderly people can enjoy up to 800 yuan per month in subsidies to offset costs for home-based community and institutional elderly care services. Grandpa Xue falls under moderate disability, meets the application criteria, andand has been residing in the elderly care institution for over 30 days, satisfying the offset conditions.
"The policy is truly providing us with a safety net." Ms. Zhang calculated an account for the reporter: monthly bed fee 1,350 yuan, meal fee 800 yuan, nursing care fee 900 yuan, totaling 3,050 yuan. According to the policy provisions, the subsidy quota is 40% of the cost, with an upper limit of 800 yuan, so Grandpa Xue can enjoy an 800-yuan elderly care service consumption subsidy every month.
"On the 1st of every month, we receive that month's consumption voucher. After binding it to the Xiyanghong Rehabilitation Center on the 'Minzheng Tong' APP, it is automatically offset, and we only need to pay the remaining portion. Everything is handled on the phone, very convenient." Ms. Zhang added.
Because of this policy, the number of elderly people and their family members coming to the Xiyanghong Rehabilitation Center for consultations has also increased noticeably.
In order to encourage various business entities to actively participate in the consumption subsidy, Jiangsu has publicly solicited eligible elderly care service institutions and assessment institutions, and has clearly stipulated that, in principle, any elderly care service institution or assessment institution that meets basic conditions can participate in the consumption subsidy project. At present, Jiangsu has 3,553 elderly care service entities of various types in its database, including 1,888 elderly care institutions, 596 community elderly care service institutions, and 1,069 third-party service institutions covering assessment, medical and health, housekeeping, etc.
Data published by the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Civil Affairs shows that, as of the end of July, Jiangsu had cumulatively issued 886,000 consumption vouchers, benefiting 192,000 disabled elderly people, with a total verified amount of 475 million yuan, driving elderly care service consumption of 1.44 billion yuan, effectively solving the livelihood problem of"one person disabled, the whole family thrown off balance."

"Grandpa, Grandma, we're taking the wedding photo now — hold your posture, hold your expression — one, two, three..."
On a bright, sunny morning, in Hecun Village, Dazhangshan Township, Wuyuan County, Jiangxi, I crouched down and steadily raised my camera. In the viewfinder was a couple of old folks with having very white hair (白发苍苍, bai fa cang cang - "white, hair, old, old"), their expressions originally tense and strained, but these few words made them laughing heartily (开怀大笑, kai huai da xiao - "open, bosom, great, laugh").
My name is Dai Jimin, a post-90s generation member, from Yanqian Village, Fuchun Town, Wuyuan County. For 15 years, I have persisted in public-welfare photography in rural areas, visiting every household in a village (走村串户, zou cun chuan hu - "walk, village, thread, household"), pointing my lens at the elderly of the countryside, striving to use images to preserve their twilight years.
Taking up the path of public-welfare photography began with an accidental shooting experience. In 2012, I was studying at Gannan Normal University, and once I met an old veteran, who said he had never had a decent photo in his life. So, I took a photo of him and his old ID photo together. Watching the old and new images overlap, this veteran smiled radiantly, and I was deeply moved. At that moment, I conceived the idea of taking photos free of charge for elderly people in rural areas.
At first, I only shot sporadically in my spare time after class. Later, I posted the idea on social media, and teachers and classmates at school all expressed support, even pooling more than 2,700 yuan to buy me a printer and photo paper. After that, every Spring Festival, while others went home to reunite with their families, I would carry my camera on my back and rush from one mountain village to another, recording for rural elderly people the happy moments of the whole family gathering together (阖家团圆, he jia tuan yuan - "whole, family, gather, round").
One winter, I invited classmates along and traveled through several remote villages in Wuyuan, taking family portraits for more than 200 elderly people. When school resumed the following spring, my classmates were deeply moved by this. This made me even more determined in my resolve to do public-welfare photography.
After graduating from university in June 2014, with the support of the Communist Youth League Jiangxi Provincial Committee and caring enterprises, I and more than 20 photography volunteers ran a one-year public-welfare photography project. After the project ended, I joined a newspaper in Jiangxi, working in travel photography. In three months, I clearly realized that photographing mountains and rivers was not where my heart lay. So, I resolutely quit the job and decided to devote myself deeply to the cause of rural public-welfare photography.
At the beginning, my pockets were empty, and I was unwilling to ask my family for money again, so I borrowed money to buy a full-frame DSLR, scrimping and saving for three years before I paid off the debt. To sustain the expenses of public-welfare photography, I took wedding and portrait commissions, and later also ran self-media accounts; only then did my income gradually stabilize, and the public-welfare photography was able to continue.
People often ask me, what is the driving force behind doing this?
At first, it was just the youthful passion of a college student. After graduation, I increasingly felt that this was a weighty responsibility.
I grew up in the countryside and know well how the elderly have toiled silently all their lives, yet rarely had the chance to properly record their own likeness. Whenever I think of the expectant gazes of the elderly, and see their simple, honest smiles when they pick up their photos, a feeling of being moved, a sense of responsibility, anda source of strength arises in my heart — I must do this well, and keep doing it.
Fifteen years of walking, countless warm moments, are etched into my memory.
In 2024, once I was taking photos for villagers in Siyuan Village, Gaobei Town, Wan'an County, Jiangxi. Wu Xueyi, a 61-year-old villager, came over and asked whether I could go to her home once, to take a photo of her and her husband alone. When I arrived at the house, I found her husband was blind, had always wanted to have a photo taken, but was unwilling to go out.
The old couple sat upright on wooden chairs in the center of the main hall. I raised my camera and took photo after photo of them. "Once a photo is taken, the person remains." After the shoot, Wu Xueyi said. At that moment, a flood of mixed emotions welled up in me, and I understood even more deeply the significance of this public-welfare photography work.
A properly preserved photo gives longing a place to rest.
In Le'an County, Jiangxi, I took the first wedding photo of a elderly couple's lives — the grandmother was eyes filled with tears (热泪盈眶, re lei ying kuang - "hot, tears, fill, eye socket"), tightly holding her husband's hand; in Yifeng County, Jiangxi, I used artificial intelligence technology to help an elderly grandmother complete a cross-time-and-space group photo with her late husband — the old grandmother looked at it and cried like a child...
Walking these years, I increasingly feel that it is not that I am helping them, but that they are healing me. These elderly people, who have never stepped out of the great mountains in their lives, have given me a simple understanding: in one's life, being able to be remembered is a very precious thing. Every time I press the shutter, I feel that I am not doing public welfare, but rather being moved again and again by these simple people, making me love this world even more.
Fifteen years, more than 20,000 photos, have frozen in time one after another wrinkled yet sincere and moving smile. In these photos, there are commemorations of golden weddings, the completeness of family portraits, reunions that cross life and death, and also the last dignified portrait of a person's life... They are not just photos, but tangible keepsakes that family members can touch when they miss their loved ones in the days ahead.
In the future, as long as I can still walk and hold a camera steady, I will keep shooting. I also hope that more fellow travelers will join the cause of public-welfare photography, together guarding the light-and-shadow wishes of rural elderly people.

In human history, for the sake of survival and hope, the migration and long march of a vast contingent has often evoked boundless reverie and awe in later generations.
Within the traditional Western purview, Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt in a great migration, Hannibal's army crossing the Alps on the march, and Napoleon's grand army retreating across the snows of Russia — all have been marveled at by later generations as miracles.
But ninety years ago, these miracles were called into question by a young Westerner. In his view, Moses's long journey relied on the aid of "divine power," Hannibal's army had covered a mere 1,800 li, and Napoleon's several hundred thousand troops had been no more than a rout from which they would sooner or later return to their homeland.
This young man was the well-known American journalist Edgar Snow. He reached this conclusion because, in that year on the soil of China, the Long March of the Red Army led by the Chinese Communist Party had just concluded, and he was fortunate enough to meet many survivors who had arrived earlier in northern Shaanxi and had made the history of the Long March.
When Snow photographed Mao Zedong, he suddenly noticed that this Red Army commander-in-chief had long hair and no military cap, which was somewhat regrettable, so he promptly took off a brand-new military cap he was wearing and placed it on Mao Zedong's head. A classic portrait of the leader wearing a military cap with a red five-pointed star was thus born. Today, virtually all films and television dramas that tell the story of the Long March base the styling of Mao Zedong's portrayer on this photograph. Snow treasured this Red Army cap that Mao Zedong had worn, and after his death his wife donated it to China in 1975; it is now a treasured collection item of the National Museum of China.
When Snow set up his camera to film Zhou Enlai, he had Zhou Enlai, Ye Jianying, Nie Rongzhen, and others ride horses back and forth twice along the mountain path before the shot was completed. As the lens closed in, Zhou Enlai, wearing the Red Army cap, had a long beard. That is to say, throughout the Long March Zhou Enlai had not shaved his beard. Not long afterward, in order to rush to Xi'an to mediate the "Xi'an Incident," he finally shaved it off, becoming the familiar appearance people later came to know.
Unfortunately, Snow did not interview Zhu De, the commander-in-chief of the Red Army. When he left Bao'an in northern Shaanxi on October 12, 1936, Zhu De and the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army had already arrived in Huining, Gansu, where they joined forces with the First Front Army, bringing the Long March to an end. Zhu De was then fifty years old, yet he appeared extraordinarily aged, emaciated beyond recognition, with deeply sunken eye sockets.
A Red Army cap, a flowing beard, a pair of sunken eyes — these fixed forever the image of the Long March leaders, dust-laden and wind-worn. Snow's interviews in northern Shaanxi likewise fixed forever the bitter glory that the Long March had nurtured. In Red Star Over China, he summed up the Long March for the first time using Western modes of thought and expression — "an expedition unparalleled in human history (无与伦比, wu yu lun bi - "not, with, compare, can")."
As for what "unparalleled" meant, as early as a year before, when the Central Red Army had just arrived in northern Shaanxi, Mao Zedong had already revealed its true meaning: "Since Pangu created heaven and earth, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors down to the present, has history ever seen a Long March like ours?" "The Long March is the first of its kind in the annals of history." He also said that the Long March was a "propaganda team," proclaiming to the people along the way that only the Red Army's road was the road to their liberation; the Long March was a "seeding machine," and the revolutionary seeds it scattered would sprout, grow leaves, blossom, and bear fruit — there would be a harvest in the future. Eighty years later, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a new summary of the Long March's unparalleled quality: the Long March was a great expedition of ideals and convictions, a great expedition of testing truth, a great expedition of awakening the masses, and a great expedition of breaking new ground. Why is the Long March eternal? The answer lies within the meanings of this "unparalleled."
(2)
An unparalleled expedition appears, in essence, to be a road — a long road, a road walked out with the soles of the feet. Only, this road occupies a rare span of historical time and space, filled throughout with miracles that no imagination can fully depict.
How many people took part in the Long March? When the four Long March contingents set out, they totaled approximately 186,000; adding those who joined the Red Army along the way, the total exceeded 200,000. In the end, only about 40,000 people ultimately arrived at or returned to northern Shaanxi. Among the Red Army cadres at the regimental level and above who died during the Long March and are known by name, some 430 have been recorded. Of these, the Central Red Army, which numbered 86,000 at departure, saw only about 7,000 reach the Shaanxi-Gansu base area — that is, only about one person in twelve survived to personally witness the victory of the Long March.
How far did the Long March travel? It passed through fifteen provinces in all, with a total journey of more than 65,000 li. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is about 80,000 li; the four Long March contingents carrying red banners had, in effect, traversed more than half the globe. Just as Mao Zedong wrote in a poem before the Long March: "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet — who dances with a rainbow streamer across the sky?" What the Red Army danced out along the way was the "red ribbon of the Earth" described by Chinese writer Wei Wei. This red ribbon, from the Yangtze River basin, through the Hengduan Mountains, danced all the way to the Yellow River basin, ultimately appearing on the loess highlands of northern Shaanxi. Along the way it crossed nearly a hundred rivers, surmounted more than forty high mountains and perilous peaks, including more than twenty snow mountains above 4,000 meters in elevation, traversed the vast grasslands known as the "forbidden zone of death," and conquered the limits of human survival.
How many battles did the Long March fight? According to authoritative records and estimates, there were more than 600 campaigns and battles in total, of which the Central Red Army fought more than 380, the Second Front Army of the Red Army more than 110, the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army more than 80, and the Twenty-Fifth Army of the Red Army an estimated more than 20.
When the Red Army set out on the Long March ninety years ago, it could hardly have imagined what kind of road it would set foot upon, what kind of world it would enter, what kind of social landscape it would behold, or what kind of bitter years it would endure…
Along the way, the dominant imagery composing the Long March contingent was of red banners, military caps, bugles, straw sandals, war horses, kerosene lamps, and campfires; along the route, red earth and yellow earth appeared in succession, white snow and blue sky set each other off in clarity, along with the varied faces of the four seasons, folk customs, farmland and tiled roofs, thatched huts and manure sheds, high mountains and deep valleys, boundless grasslands, caves and kiln dwellings, gray oxen and white sheep, as well as mountain mist, water vapor, and tree shadows — a scene of hazy indistinction… Had there been no war, no sacrifice, these rich and poetic colors would all have been superb settings for landscape painters working in the freehand style. Yet along the way, the Long March Red Army faced difficulties, challenges, and crises on three fronts at all times. Militarily, it was constantly subjected to encirclement, pursuit, obstruction, and interception by Kuomintang forces holding an absolute advantage; politically, it successively encountered the serious crises of erroneous "Left" leadership and Zhang Guotao's splittism; physiologically, it encountered unimaginable challenges to the limits of life posed by cold, hunger, and exhaustion.
In the contests of history, when the stronger is pitted against the weaker, if it fails, it is often because it has lost to itself. When the weaker resists the stronger, if it prevails, it must be because it has overcome difficulties, challenges, and crises far exceeding those of its opponent. The miracle of the Long March was forged from suffering and life, and also written by conviction and will. The Long March Red Army fought against powerful enemies, fought against errors within the Party, fought against the harsh conditions of survival, and at last walked through with chests held high. Why was the Long March Red Army able to hold its head high through the crises? Because they held guns in their hands and also grasped truth; they cherished ideals in their hearts and kept their eyes on the distance; they trod in straw sandals beneath their feet, and above their heads the red star shone. The Long March was precisely such a road of thought, a road of spirit. Firm conviction in certain victory enabled the Red Army to walk out of desperate straits onto a road of survival, a road of life, a road of new beginnings.
While undergoing great suffering, great sacrifice, and great trials, it achieved great creation and manifested great glory. The Red Army that created miracles gave birth to the great Long March spirit.
If one were to describe it in literary language, along this road one can readily see or imagine such images as these: tragic stories unheard of before (闻所未闻, wen suo wei wen - "hear, what, not, heard"), heroic collectives advancing toward death, human miracles written by life, a national spirit blossoming on horseback, the light of truth gleaming from kerosene lamps, the direction of advance proclaimed by the red star, the rugged road opened by straw sandals, historical destiny swung out by iron chains, ideals and convictions upheld by snow mountains, the will to survive nurtured by the grasslands, a grand epic rhymed by gunfire, and a rebirth through fire (凤凰涅槃, feng huang nie pan - "phoenix, nirvana") wrought by the flames of war…
(3)
The Long March Red Army left behind two most precious things on this road — besides the faith spoken of earlier, there was life itself.
What is life? To this ancient yet ever-new riddle, the answer of the Long March Red Army was simple and direct.
Their lives were the sheer cliffs of high mountains, the dangerous shoals and raging currents of rivers, the unpredictable and ever-changing (变幻莫测, bian huan mo ce - "change, transform, not, predict") sky, the boundless expanse of the grasslands. Their lives were the last bullet in the rifle chamber, the last leather belt tied at the waist, the last handful of grain in a comrade's ration bag, the last chili pepper atop a snow mountain, and even a few grains of highland barley hidden in dried yak dung.
The Long March was precisely such a journey of life — it was the most serious, most extreme, and most simple interrogation of the meaning of life, a great discovery of both the material and spiritual energies of life, and a dazzling milestone from which to gaze upon the summit of life.
A philosopher once said: If one lives in pursuit of ideals, acting in the spirit of true freedom, with the perseverance to advance courageously and with honest, unfeigned thought, then one will surely attain the realm of supreme goodness and perfection.
The Long March is a march of the spirit, an infinitely extended journey of life. It moves toward the heart, advances toward death in order to live, begins with the "true," proceeds through the "good," and culminates in the realm of the "beautiful."
The lives of the Red Army thus shone with dazzling brilliance. The road of the Long March thus had a background color accompanying and setting it off — the primary color of life, which, like the faith of the Red Army, is red.
From that time on, the road of the Long March changed its appearance: along the road grew trees of history, bloomed flowers of spirit, and stirred winds of culture.
The Long March is precisely such a road — a road that forever leads to the future.

The year 2026 marks a full 70 years since the Dartmouth Conference of 1956 formally inaugurated artificial intelligence research.
Over those 70 years, AI (artificial intelligence) has moved from the academic vision of a small number of scientists, out of the laboratory, and into industry, society, and daily life, profoundly changing the ways in which humanity acquires knowledge, organizes production, connects the world, and understands itself. Particularly in recent years, a new generation of artificial intelligence represented by large models has accelerated its evolution, with continuous breakthroughs in technologies such as multimodal generation, intelligent agents, embodied intelligence, and world models; artificial intelligence has already become a major variable reshaping the forms of productive forces, the modes of social operation, and the landscape of global governance.
It is precisely at such a juncture in time that I received the manuscript sent by Comrade Jia Yong, titled A Journalist in the AI Era — A Veteran Newsman's Handbook on Human-Machine Collaboration. This is not a simple operation manual introducing how to use AI tools, but rather a veteran newsman, facing the tide of the intelligent era, rooted in more than 40 years of journalistic practice, and using tens of millions of characters of human-machine dialogue as samples, offering his answers to the questions of "what makes humans human, what makes journalists journalists, and how technology can be steered toward the good."
Looking back across the history of human civilization, every major technological revolution has not simply distributed opportunities equally, but has first reshaped productive forces, then forced adjustments in relations of production, and thereby formed a new social division of labor. Artificial intelligence is no different. What is truly important is to govern amid development and develop amid governance, ensuring that technological progress always serves the comprehensive development of the human person, serves the overall progress of society, and serves the common well-being of humanity.
This is precisely where the greatest value of this book lies. The author does not portray AI as a mysterious and unpredictable (神秘莫测, shen mi mo ce - "mysterious, unpredictable, cannot be guessed") "new species," nor does he simply treat it as a "rival" that snatches jobs. He places AI back into the scene of journalistic practice, back into the workflow of content production, and puts forward a plain yet profound judgment: AI is not a subject, but a tool; not a heart, but wings; not a replacement for humans, but an extension of humans.
In the book, the author, rooted in the journalist's "four capabilities," proposes the pathways for elevating footwork, eyesight, brainpower, and writing skill in the AI era: footwork moves from "getting to the scene" to "omnidirectional perception," eyesight moves from "seeing" to "seeing through," brainpower moves from "thinking" to "thought," and writing skill moves from "human-machine writing" to "expression of the soul." On this basis, he further puts forward "synergy, steadiness, and vitality," constituting a complete capability system for the new-quality journalist of the AI era.
This system places the journalist's future back within the most fundamental value coordinates of the journalistic profession: the scene, the facts, the people, and responsibility. AI can help journalists search materials more quickly, perceive information more broadly, produce first drafts more efficiently, and check texts more meticulously, but it cannot replace the journalist in going to the scene, cannot replace the journalist in bearing judgment, cannot replace the journalist in completing value choices, and still less can it be responsible on behalf of the journalist to history, to the people, and to the era.
The book contains a metaphor that left a deep impression on me: AI can manufacture tens of thousands of "bullets," but the person who pulls the trigger must be the journalist himself. News communication concerns how facts are presented, how society forms consensus, how people's hearts are united, and how an era is recorded. The more we are in an era in which AI can generate content at high speed, the more it is necessary for news professionals to hold fast to the source of facts, the aiming mark of values, and the bottom line of responsibility.
I particularly endorse the book's discussion of "boundaries." The four "non-negotiable boundaries" extended from this — the scene cannot be ceded, meaning cannot be ceded, values cannot be ceded, responsibility cannot be ceded — draw clear, rigid, and long-term industry red lines for content production and human-machine collaboration in the AI era. These four "cannot be ceded" apply not only to journalists, but also to content producers, platform operators, technology developers, and governance participants. They remind us that the precondition of human-machine collaboration is that human subjectivity must not lose its ground; the bottom line of technological empowerment is that the chain of responsibility must not be broken.
Viewed from a broader significance, this book also provides a vivid sample for artificial intelligence governance. Global AI governance urgently needs a large body of experience summaries drawn from frontline practice, specific industries, and real scenarios. The news industry is one of the fields where the impact of AI is most direct, the perception is sharpest, and the risks are most concentrated. Issues such as content generation, information distribution, public opinion guidance, fact-checking, copyright protection, and cognitive security have all emerged first in the field of news communication. Through his personal experience, personal trials, and personal reflections as a senior journalist, the author renders these issues concrete, vivid, and tangible.
On the surface, this book writes about how journalists harness AI; at a deeper level, it speaks to how human beings, in the era of artificial intelligence, can remain clear-headed, remain proactive, and retain their dignity. Facing artificial intelligence, the best attitude is to actively embrace it, skillfully harness it, hold fast to boundaries, and pursue excellence.
Machines can be upgraded without limit, but conscience, reverence, responsibility, and faith will forever belong to humanity.

The Ming-dynasty scholar Zhu Guozhen recorded an amusing anecdote in his Biography of a Man of Huangshan: in the seventeenth year of the Jiajing reign (1538), Huang Shengzeng, a literatus from Suzhou, was preparing to travel to the capital to sit the imperial examinations, when his friend Tian Rucheng told him of the various natural and cultural beauties of West Lake. Upon hearing this, Huang Shengzeng longed for it deeply (心向往之, xin xiang wang zhi - "heart, toward, long, for"), and made a bold decision: to abandon his northward journey to the examinations and go instead to tour West Lake.
So it turns out that a travel craze already existed several hundred years ago, and this owed not only to word-of-mouth but also in no small part to the popularity of travelogues; Sights of Lakes and Mountains (Splendid Views of Lakes and Mountains) was one such representative.Several hundred years later, this Ming-dynasty travelogue found its way by twists and turns into the Bibliothèque nationale de France, where the scholar Li Xiaoyu, searching it out, was won over by its exquisitely beautiful and matchless (美妙绝伦, mei miao jue lun - "beautiful, wonderful, matchless, peerless") woodblock printing and its exquisite six-color overprinted illustrations, and decided to undertake research on it. Thereafter, she opened a journey of more than a decade spent in seeking out overseas Chinese illustrated ancient books, condensing her efforts into the book Searching for Treasures across the Seas: A Panorama of Chinese Illustrated Ancient Books Collected Overseas (Yilin Press).
In this book, fifteen rare Chinese illustrated ancient books collected in libraries and museums of Britain, France, Japan, Germany, and other countries are gathered together in one place (齐聚一堂, qi ju yi tang - "together, gather, one, hall"), presenting the exquisite visual world within Chinese culture. The book proceeds in chronological order, beginning with the oldest extant printed work, a Tang-dynasty Buddhist sutra, and ending with the Qing-dynasty album of figure portraits The Peerless Album (Wushuang Pu), spanning nearly a thousand years.The subjects are all-encompassing and comprehensive (包罗万象, bao luo wan xiang - "encompass, contain, ten thousand, phenomena"), including a pocket-sized sutra scroll that Qian Chu, king of Wuyue during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, ordered printed to avert calamity and seek blessings, a Illustrated Mirror for the Emperor (帝鉴图说) that the Ming chief grand secretary Zhang Juzheng had made for the Wanli Emperor, and an ancient travel guide collecting famous scenic sites from across the realm, Newly Engraved Marvels of Sea and Land (新镌海内奇观).
Thanks to the author's interdisciplinary background in economics, art history, and communication studies, the book's interpretations of the illustrated ancient books proceed from multiple perspectives. In the chapter on the "Complete Illustrated Compendium of Zhou Rites Artifacts," the author distinguishes, from an art-historical standpoint, between the functions of "diagrams" and "paintings," and extends the discussion to the role that other "diagram" books played in transmitting new knowledge and advancing scholarly disciplines in ancient society.And in discussing the novel Newly Complete Illustrated Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms in Plain Language (Newly Complete Illustrated Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms in Plain Language), the author focuses her gaze on the ancient publishing industry, proceeding from binding design and interior illustrations to conjecture the ancients' bookmaking thinking and marketing strategies, which offers certain lessons for today's book publishing industry.
Beyond form, the author also sees the information that images convey. For example, she decodes the symbolic meanings of the figures and decorative elements in the Qing-dynasty figure album The Peerless Album, analyzing the view of history that the album's author sought to convey. Through vivid exposition and multi-dimensional analysis, the illustrated ancient books become three-dimensional and rich; besides reaping aesthetic pleasure, readers also come to further understand the technological changes and shifts in ideas that the images bear.
The author is skilled at excavating emotional meaning from rare illustrated ancient books, connecting ancient and present, and guiding us to feel the human warmth behind ancient books. In the first chapter, speaking of the oldest printed Buddhist sutra, the author mentions that the scroll was printed to accumulate merit and pray for blessings for the donor's parents, infusing the account with emotional content. The book also employs many images and expressions that fit contemporary life, making it easy for readers to accept and understand. In exploring Sights of Lakes and Mountains, the author probes, from the details of the illustrations, the modes of transport, forms of entertainment, and travel fashions that ancients chose when traveling, and invites readers, based on the descriptions in the book, to imagine the "small caps" (small hats) popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties, feeling that the distance between us and the ancients is not so great.
As the art historian Fan Jingzhong has said, Searching for Treasures across the Seas: A Panorama of Chinese Illustrated Ancient Books Collected Overseas allows these rare books, in another way, to "return to their homeland." Reading this book, we need not travel far overseas to be able to commune in spirit with ancients from several hundred years ago, to see the wisdom and talent they gave forth, to feel the warmth of their spiritual world, and to appreciate the charm and elegance that these illustrated ancient books possess across time and space.

Ten Kilometers of the Human World has been published. When this thin physical book lay before me, I stroked its textured cover and inhaled its faint scent of ink, and a feeling of arising spontaneously (油然而生, you ran er sheng - "oil, run, come, arise") welled up in me. I am grateful to the self who was determined to keep recording back then.
When I first began writing, it was purely because life felt dull. I thought, rather than agonize, I might as well find an outlet — I began observing, along the 10-kilometer commute I made every day, what interesting people and things there were, trying to add a bit of interest to my own life. To put it in today's popular phrasing, I established my own life rituals and began to feel life anew.
From initially "finding something to do," to gradually being moved by one story after another, these strangers and their stories landed within the radius of my life, like surprise blind boxes waiting to be opened, giving me something to look forward to.
And so, from the 10 kilometers of the commute, to the 100 kilometers beyond the city, and then to the 1000 kilometers across the world, along this entire road, I wrote down many moments that moved me —
A small noodle shop on the street, its steaming fragrant noodle aroma filling the air, adding a touch of home to the evening when the temperature had suddenly dropped. The auntie cook insisted on frying every egg by hand, the whites as tender as jelly, the yolks bursting into a runny flow at the slightest poke, nestled in a small iron pan, giving off the most old-fashioned aroma of sizzling fried eggs. In today's fast-paced world, to still be able to eat a taste exactly like the one from childhood — how wonderful.
Beside Wenshu Monastery there is a folk artisan dressed as the Great Sage, who year-round takes the initiative to tidy up the shared bicycles on one side of the road, even though no one may care about any of it; he also, when tourists are taking photos, quietly steps behind them and makes a "peace" sign before sweeping away with his sleeves, leisurely and unhurried (不疾不徐, bu ji bu xu - "not, fast, not, slow"), peaceful and self-consistent.
A quiet, introverted junior clerk silently looks after a little fish in the company that no one else tends to. He assumes he is the only one in the whole company paying attention to this small life, yet unexpectedly, the kindly cleaning auntie also keeps an eye on him and it. The two of them, in the process of protecting the little fish, shine brilliantly in each other's company (交相辉映, jiao xiang hui ying - "interchange, each other, shine, reflect"), radiating the brilliance of life.
In real life, there are still many, many such glittering moments.
I collect people's smiles and tears, and I also welcome other people's lives to flow through me, to collide emotionally with me. I was delighted to discover that, as long as one stands close enough, looks long enough, and approaches with respect, one can better understand others' circumstances and choices. In the human world, no one is an NPC (non-player character); everyone is the protagonist of their own life. But most of the time, those tiny joys, those unfinished regrets, fade away with the passage of time, leaving nothing behind at all. My heart aches a little at this, and it also impelled me to keep recording on social media.
The articles lined up on social media mean that I have walked out countless 10-kilometer stretches with my body, and my heart has also gone deep into every single 10 kilometers. On the surface, nothing seems to have changed, but in my eyes everything has already become entirely different — the world seems to have gained a magnifying glass, with everything observable everywhere, and every detail vivid. I also hope that, through my writing and the power of the internet, more people can come to see what is near at hand and around them, to care about others with spare capacity, and to throw themselves into concrete life.
I am very fortunate to have received far more resonance and support than I expected. Many netizens have messaged me privately, saying that after reading my articles, the little flame of writing in their hearts has been reignited. Other netizens say they will try, starting from the present moment, to pay attention to small yet concrete happinesses and rebuild their capacity for perception. In writing, I have healed myself, and I have also inspired more people.
