Summary: The article discusses the development of small-theatre xiqu (traditional Chinese opera) over the past two decades, highlighting its role in upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground in the art form. It examines how the small stage fosters a two-way interactive performer-audience relationship, as seen in works like *Within a Square Inch*, and emphasizes a return to suggestive, symbolic staging over elaborate realism.

It concludes that the "small" of the small theatre pursues the greatness of spiritual scope, urging creators to take root in xiqu's ontology, respond to the times, and interrogate human nature to produce more fine works.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized, "Adapt to changes in the consumption structure, expand the supply of high-quality goods and services""improve consumption conditions, innovate consumption scenarios, and fully unleash the potential of consumption."
As a major economic province that is the first in the north to see its gross regional product exceed 10 trillion yuan, Shandong has deeply studied and implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, anchored on"taking the lead, shouldering the heavy burden," cultivated endogenous resilience, forged iterative momentum, improved long-term mechanisms, and continuously stimulated consumption with potential.
The thickness of the mountain——
The industrial foundation supports new consumption supply
The grandeur of Mount Tai lies in its deep roots and stable foundations, in the accumulation of ten-thousand ren. Shandong is a traditional major industrial province and major agricultural province, possessing all 41 industrial categories, with the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries ranking first nationwide. Complete categories, full industrial chains, and abundant products constitute the"Mount Tai stone" that supports new consumption supply.
How does the thickness of the family foundation translate into the heat of consumption?
In Tengzhou, Zaozhuang, a silicone enterprise's answer is: through technological innovation, transform from selling raw materials into selling products.
In the workshop, blue particles flow along the conveyor belt; their destination is not factory floors or construction sites, but thousands of households."Pet products are selling well; we have set our sights on this blue ocean and developed cat litter that can help monitor pets' health conditions, sold to more than 90 countries." Said Fang Kuan, general manager of Shandong Xinhua Silicone Co.,, Ltd.
In Shouguang, Weifang, an agricultural technology enterprise's answer is: smart empowerment, the old hand welcomes a new helper.
In the furrows, the robot dog's camera is aimed at the leaves, with images transmitted back to the backend in real time."The robot dog can help farmers prevent and control diseases earlier and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides." Wang Yihong, a person in charge of Weifang Yuntu Science and Technology Innovation Co.,, Ltd., said that with better vegetable quality, consumers can feel more at ease.
In Chiping, Liaocheng, an aluminum company's answer is: turning waste into something useful, with industrial waste heat nourishing agricultural production in return.
A few pipes connect the thermal power plant and the planting greenhouses. Cooling water is used for greenhouse temperature regulation, and carbon dioxide is processed into"gaseous fertilizer.""Fruits are marketed at staggered times, and people are willing to pay for the'first taste of freshness'." Said Zhang Qingbo, a technician at the Xinfa Modern Agriculture Industrial Park.
Three answers point to the same transformation: from"sell whatever you have"to"produce whatever is demanded".
Consumption upgrading is a two-way journey between supply and demand. The old family foundation cannot afford to act bossy or overbearing based on one's seniority; it must change with demand and move toward the new. The preferences of consumers are the compass for producers.
On the road toward the new, policies also build bridges——
Trade-in for new, driving bulk consumption. Shandong has actively implemented the subsidy policy for trade-in of consumer goods, and this year has taken the lead in including 8 categories of products such as floor-sweeping robots. As of mid-August, Shandong's applications for consumer goods trade-in have exceeded 14.3 million items, driving sales revenue of 115.7 billion yuan.
Brand cultivation, winning market favor. Shandong has gone all out to build the"Good Products of Shandong" regional public brand, constructing a tiered cultivation and selection system, with 523 brands already selected.
The surge of the river——
Cultural creativity lights up new consumption scenarios
The Yellow River rolls vast, the cultural lineage runs long. From Confucian classics to intangible cultural heritage skills, from canal customs to maritime cultural charm, Shandong's cultural heritage is profound. When culture meets consumption, historical accumulation becomes living water, stirring up waves of creativity.
Industrial clustering, turning culture into fine goods that can be carried away.
ong
The first city the Yellow River enters Shandong, Heze. Stepping into the e-Shang Town of Cao County, Hanfu garments fill the eyes. In a Hanfu experience store, tourists are gently gathering their sleeves in front of the fitting mirror.
In 2025, Cao County has more than 2,800 Hanfu-related enterprises, with sales reaching 13 billion yuan."From design, production, marketing, to after-sales service, we have formed a complete industrial chain." Said Hu Chunqing, president of the Cao County Hanfu Association.
Scene reconstruction, turning culture into a space that can be played with.
Heading east along the river, on the north bank, Dezhou. Strolling through the Leling Film and Television City, upturned eaves are staggered, and an air of antiquity abounds.
Since the local construction of the film and television city, the themed streets and markets have been quite lively, with surrounding villages launching combined services, and the heat of the silver screen continuously spilling outward. Tourist Jiao Kexin, dressed in a cheongsam and with her hair done up in a bun, participated in street interactive games,"It feels like walking into a movie!"
Experience upgrading, turning culture into a life that can be savored.
Continuing forward, south of the great river, Zibo. Passing through the Bada Ju convenience market, the performance on stage is still in full swing, while the fire beneath the stove is burning bright. Tourist Li Xuerong said:"The barbecue and the performances both have strong local characteristics; this evening has been full of flavor."
"We have launched immersive performances on themes such as Jiang Ziya, Liaozhai, and the Great Dye House, where the hustle and bustle of the marketplace intermingles with historical culture." Introduced Zheng Haolin, head of the Bada Ju Convenience Market Management Office.
The yardstick of consumption is shifting from"value for money"to"a stir in the heart." The weight of participatory experience, social attributes, and emotional value in consumption choices is growing ever larger. People hope that through consumption, they can seek identity of meaning and reap emotional resonance.
In Jinan, Chinese medicine counters have become observation display stands; in Jining, camping parks have become study tour classrooms; in Tai'an, traditional handicraft shops have become cultural creativity stores… In today's Shandong, the weighty cultural heritage has found a lightweight expression, responding all the more to people's expectations and redefining the meaning of consumption.
Such changes have converged into a powerful trend. In 2025, Shandong's cultural enterprises above designated size achieved operating revenue exceeding 740 billion yuan, with intangible cultural heritage-related enterprises and business households achieving an annual output value of 160 billion yuan.
Behind the data, Shandong has continuously intensified its cultural industry, building a cultural consumption support system featuring technological empowerment, model innovation, and incentive-driven development——cultural traffic is becoming consumption growth.
The breadth of the sea——
Industrial integration nurtures new consumption business formats
The winding coastline outlines the contour of the Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by sea on three sides, and also nurtures a disposition of having a broad mind or great capacity. Not long ago, Shandong issued a plan proposing to implement a cultural-tourism integration, innovation, and upgrading project. Boosting consumption is like a hundred rivers returning to the sea——not a single-line effort where each acts on its own, but a three-dimensional linkage that builds momentum and grows strong.
The paths of integration differ according to endowments.
Looking inward from a single boat ticket——integration and optimization, revitalizing existing stock.
ong
In Qingdao, in the past, various shipping operators each managed their own business, with uneven service quality. Qingdao Tourism Group took the lead in integrating 92 shipping operators, launching 23 premium routes and 37 categories of products, stringing docks, scenic spots, fishing villages, and urban life together like beads on a chain. According to estimates, every 1 yuan of boat ticket drives approximately 33 yuan of derivative consumption.
Looking outward from a pufferfish——cross-border transformation, opening up incremental growth.
In Rongcheng, Weihai, ornamental pufferfish have become a must-see for many tourists. The Sangou Bay Marine Ranch, based on its nearshore aquaculture, has turned its 2,800 mu of aquaculture waters into a sightseeing platform, carving out a new cultural-tourism track, receiving approximately 100,000 tourists annually, with cultural-tourism annual revenue of 7-8 million yuan.
Whether turning inward or outward, one proposition cannot be avoided——traffic is fleeting, while"retention"is hard to come by. A moment of popularity is not uncommon across industries; sustained vitality, however, tests a place's ability to mobilize resources and the quality of its social governance.
Haiyang, Yantai, a small coastal town, is becoming a new landmark for aerospace cultural tourism.
Taking maritime space launch missions as an opportunity, the local area has continuously broadened its scope: for viewing services, it has made good site planning and paired them with warm-up folk performances; for study tours, it has launched dozens of interactive programs and introduced multiple industrial tourism routes; for chain extension, it has driven accommodation, catering, intangible cultural heritage, agricultural specialties, and more sectors to spread out layer by layer.
Around a single rocket, mobilizing an entire city——Shandong has many similar attempts. Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, and other pilot cities for"new consumption" are using the first batch of 550 million yuan in special funds to promote the construction of more than 190 projects, which will cultivate new consumption growth points.
With the thickness of the family foundation to build a solid base, with the vitality of culture to broaden the field, with the breadth of integration to nurture the ecosystem. Striving forward into the 15th Five-Year Plan, following the direction charted by General Secretary Xi Jinping, Shandong will adhere to coordinated efforts in policy-driven development, business format innovation, scenario cultivation, and brand promotion, and on expanding domestic demand and boosting consumption, will submit its Qilu answer sheet of"taking the lead, shouldering the heavy burden."
(Reporters of this newspaper Hou Linliang, Xiao Jiaxin, Wang Pei, Wu Kai, Li Rui, Wang Zhe participated in the reporting)
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 28) Premier Li Qiang of the State Council on September 28 presided over an executive meeting of the State Council, which studied work related to intensifying and improving the effectiveness of macro policy and promoting effective investment, heard a report on the progress of governance of emerging pollutants, and deliberated and approved the "Regulations on the Administration of Registration of Public Institutions (Draft)."

The two sides of the Strait are one family, and Fujian and Taiwan are kin among kin.
In September 2023, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Fujian in Exploring a New Path for Cross-Strait Integrated Development and Building a Demonstration Zone for Cross-Strait Integrated Development" was released. In October 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping, during his inspection tour in Fujian, emphasized the need to "take greater strides in exploring a new path for cross-Strait integrated development" and to"build well the demonstration zone for cross-Strait integrated development".
Over the past three years, tangible changes have occurred right around us: relevant departments of central Party and state organs have formulated and issued a series of supporting documents; Fujian has released five batches of 74 policy measures promoting Fujian-Taiwan integration, organized the implementation of 206 key projects for Fujian-Taiwan integrated development, with a total investment exceeding 1.3 trillion yuan; the"Xiamen-Kinmen same-city living circle" and"Fuzhou-Matsu same-city living circle" are being solidly advanced, the policy system for equal treatment of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises has become more complete, the convenience of Fujian-Taiwan personnel exchanges, trade, and investment has markedly improved, and Fujian-Taiwan exchanges and cooperation have expanded toward broader fields and deeper levels...Promoting integration through connectivity, promoting integration through benefits, promoting integration through kinship—the construction of the demonstration zone for cross-Strait integrated development has achieved phased progress.
Promoting integration through connectivity, exploring the path of connecting everything that should be connected.
In Xiamen, Fujian, speeding along the airport expressway toward Dadeng Island, one can soon see the iconic roof of Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport—triple layered flying eaves, stacked one upon another, resembling the swallow-tail ridges of southern Fujian grand traditional houses, blending elements of the common roots of both sides of the Strait into steel and concrete.
Walking deeper into the terminal building, "Everyone, look up." Liao Zhicheng, an airport construction engineer with Xiamen Xiangle Group Co., Ltd., pointed at the dome. This enormous"dragon boat" shape, composed of 602 wood-grain grilles, with 13 strip skylights on each side resembling oars, symbolizes"rowing in the same boat toward a common goal" (同舟竞渡, tong zhou jing du -"same, boat, compete, cross"), symbolizing that compatriots on both sides of the Strait are of one heart and act in unison. The four"blossoming columns" supporting the skylights, inspired by southern Fujian overseas Chinese hometown culture, symbolize"Fujian and Taiwan share the same origin, and all seas share the same root".
"Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport will be put into operation at the end of this year, and reserved planning has already been made for a dedicated terminal building site for our Kinmen compatriots."Liao Zhicheng said,"In the future, with the completion of the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge (Kinmen section),, driving from Kinmen to the airport will take just 10 minutes."Kinmen compatriots are full of expectation about this."Once the two major projects are put into operation, Kinmen will completely break its pattern of being an isolated island."Li Zhufeng, former magistrate of Kinmen County, said.
Three-dimensional passageways are accelerating their formation, and the arteries of integration are becoming smoother. The four"mini-three-links"passenger routes—Xiamen to Kinmen, Quanzhou to Kinmen, Fuzhou Mawei to Matsu, and Lianjiang Huangqi to Matsu—have increased their sailing frequency; in the first eight months of this year, 1.5836 million cross-Strait passengers traveled via the"mini-three-links",a year-on-year increase of 25.34%;the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge(Xiamen section),,,the Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport,,and the second-phase expansion project of Fuzhou Changle International Airport are being accelerated, and the function of the land-sea-air three-dimensional comprehensive gateway hub for Taiwan is becoming increasingly prominent.
Over the past three years, Fujian has highlighted promoting integration through connectivity, continuously improving the"new four links"of unimpeded cross-Strait economic and trade cooperation, infrastructure connectivity, energy and resource interconnection, and industry standard commonality. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the"mini-three-links"passenger routes. From the"mini-three-links"to the"small four links"(connecting water, electricity, gas, and bridges between Fujian's coast and Kinmen and Matsu)to the"new four links",Fujian is making steady progress, striving to explore more paths toward"connecting everything that should be connected".
The data jumping on the water supply pumping station screens tell of warmth crossing the Strait. At Fujian Water Investment Group Jin-Jin Water Supply Co., Ltd., located in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, electronic screens update in real time figures such as"instantaneous flow rate"and"cumulative water supply volume".Since the beginning of this year, an average of approximately 22,000 tons of clean water has crossed the Strait directly to Kinmen each day.
Once, Kinmen suffered greatly from water shortages—"even the mung bean soup we drank was salty";today, Fujian's high-quality water sources have become the core pillar of Kinmen's water supply system. Hong Jiaxing, general manager of Fujian Water Investment Group Jin-Jin Water Supply Co., Ltd., introduced that at present, Fujian's water supply to Kinmen already accounts for 87% of the daily total water supply of Kinmen's waterworks, and the water quality qualification rate has remained stably at 100% year-round. The water supply has also greatly alleviated the pressure of over-extraction of groundwater in Kinmen, reducing Kinmen's residential water dependence on groundwater from its historical peak of 68% to 0.3%.
Today, the Xiamen-Kinmen gas connection project's Dadeng LNG gas source station has completed completion acceptance, Xiamen's Wangzhan substation and Yingbin substation are now capable of providing power supply, and the mainland-side advance section of the second phase project of Fuzhou's water supply to Matsu has completed construction.
Fujian continues to support Taiwan-funded enterprises in Fujian to participate in cross-Strait industrial chain and supply chain cooperation, enabling Taiwan-funded enterprises to have a stage for their work, opportunities for development, and prospects for growth.
Pineapple cakes, nougat, sun cakes...On the product packaging of Xiamen Taizu Food Co., Ltd., the"Xiamen Time-Honored Brand"mark is printed."A time-honored brand is an enterprise's intangible asset."Cai Jinyu, general manager of Xiamen Taizu Food Co., Ltd., said that the enterprise entered Xiamen from Kinmen in 2006 and was awarded the"Xiamen Time-Honored Brand"in 2023, enhancing its market recognition.
Today, more than 10 Taiwan-funded enterprises and enterprises from the Kinmen and Matsu regions have been recognized as provincial and municipal"time-honored brands";8 Taiwan-funded enterprises in Fujian have been listed on the A-share market; the"Taiwan Capital Board"has cumulatively listed and displayed 5,658 Taiwan-funded enterprises; and the mainland's first cross-Strait industrial investment fund, initiated by Taiwan businessmen with a scale of 786 million yuan, has also been established.
The first local regulation on Taiwan affairs on the mainland with the theme of promoting cross-Strait standard commonality, the"Regulations of Fujian Province on Promoting Cross-Strait Standard Commonality",has been formulated;the mainland's first cross-Strait standard commonality information and service platform has been built;cumulatively, 378 cross-Strait common standards have been released...Industry standards are gradually becoming common, and integration efficiency is getting higher and higher.
Promoting integration through benefits, cultivating fertile soil for peaceful living and happy work.
Around Spring Festival, the Taiwan compatriot apartment building in Guixi Community, Jin'an District, Fuzhou City, was filled with the warmth of home.
Long tables had been set up early, and residents brought their signature dishes."My wife and I carefully prepared steamed oysters and cola chicken wings; neighbors from both sides of the Strait gathered around the hot pot together, lively and warm."Qiu Binping, a young Taiwanese, is among the happily married newlyweds(新婚燕尔, xin hun yan er -"new, marriage, swallow, swallow"),having formed a sweet cross-Strait marriage family with his wife. The Taiwan compatriot apartment's"move-in-with-just-your-luggage"arrangement solved his housing problem.
Guixi Community is Fuzhou's first cross-Strait integrated demonstration community, having cumulatively housed more than 300 households and over 600 Taiwan compatriots. At the"Both Sides of the Strait Reunion Together"event, Fuzhou taro paste, Buddha jumps over the wall, Taiwan sausages, and other dishes shared the same table with fragrant aromas;residents from both sides of the Strait took seats one after another, warmly exchanging greetings, and laughter and cheerful voices kept coming from the scene.
Crossing the Strait, coming to the mainland, only with a settled home can one feel at ease.
"Fuzhou has taken the lead in building a multi-level housing security system for Taiwan compatriots comprising'free transitional housing + public rental housing + price-fixed guaranteed housing',and also provides free accommodation during the job-seeking transition period for young Taiwanese coming to Fuzhou for employment or entrepreneurship, greatly reducing Taiwan compatriots' housing expenditures."A relevant person in charge of the Fuzhou Municipal Taiwan Affairs Office introduced.
At the Pingtan Liang'an Xinxiao residential community, the scene is lush and full of green life(绿意盎然, lv yi ang ran -"green, meaning, abundant, abundant"),elegant and tidy. Here, jointly designed and constructed by teams from both sides of the Strait, a Taiwan property management model has been introduced to create a living environment and life experience familiar to Taiwan compatriots."The environment here is beautiful and life is comfortable;my husband and I both like it very much, and we plan to spend our retirement here."Ms. Wang, a Taiwan compatriot homeowner, said.
The convenience of life cannot be separated from the strong support of institutional guarantees. Not far away, at the Taiwan Compatriots and Taiwan-Funded Enterprises Service Center of the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Area, words on the wall make Taiwan compatriots feel particularly warm:"Treat Taiwan compatriots with equal fairness(一视同仁, yi shi tong ren -"one, look, same, person"),and serve Taiwan compatriots the way we serve our mainland compatriots".
"The center has integrated 8 major categories and 236 items of Taiwan-related administrative approval and government service matters, allowing Taiwan compatriots to'enter one door and handle everything'. To make Taiwan compatriots' experience even better, the center has also specially hired Taiwan compatriot service specialists."Zhang Yuping, a relevant person in charge of the center, introduced.
Besides settling down, one must also find happiness in work. Can a vocational skill qualification certificate obtained in Taiwan still be used upon arriving on the mainland?
"Look, this is my electrician vocational qualification certificate obtained on the mainland. It was directly exchanged through the comparison and recognition service, using the corresponding qualification from the Taiwan region."Wang Kuifeng, a post-80s native of Taitung County, said. At present, Fujian has published 72 items of Taiwan regional vocational skill qualification programs that can be directly recognized, and has cumulatively issued more than 6,300 recognition certificates to Taiwan compatriots.
Let data run more, and let Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises run less. Since its launch in 2024, the digital"First Home"service platform for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises has provided Taiwan compatriots with 263 high-frequency Taiwan-related government service items, including"efficiently handling one matter",and has cumulatively handled more than 22,000 government service matters for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises, basically achieving"accessing all information through a single online platform"(一网通查, yi wang tong cha -"one, net, connect, check")and"handling everything online across the entire network".
To protect the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises, public legal service centers for Taiwan-related matters have been established in Fuzhou, Xiamen, Pingtan, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and other places, cumulatively providing verification and comparison of more than 8,000 notarized documents from Taiwan, and handling more than 11,000 Taiwan-related legal consultations and verifications, and through services such as"mediation + arbitration + litigation",effectively reducing the cost of rights protection for Taiwan compatriots and improving the quality and efficiency of dispute resolution.
Promoting integration across the"entire region"makes the vision of integrated development broader and its pattern grander.
Xiamen and Kinmen face each other"door to door",and the construction of the"same-city living circle"has achieved remarkable results."Swipe the card, scan the face, take the boat from the dock to Gulangyu—the treatment is exactly the same as that of Xiamen citizens."Yang Yingxiong, a Kinmen compatriot, skillfully used the"Xiamen-Kinmen Same-City Card"."Previously, Kinmen residents didn't know much about mainland medical care;now everyone often comes to Xiamen for ophthalmology and dentistry."
The Fuzhou-Matsu"same-city living circle"is also taking shape at an accelerating pace. Fuzhou has successively released three batches of 30 Fuzhou-Matsu integration measures, covering industry, technology, people's livelihoods, culture, and other fields. The functions of the"Fuzhou-Matsu Same-City Pass"card are constantly being upgraded—with one card, one can enjoy comprehensive convenience services including transportation, cultural tourism and leisure, housing and accommodation, government affairs agency, medical treatment and schooling, financial services, and more.
Promoting integration through kinship, carrying forward the bloodline of shared roots and shared origin.
"I grew up in Taiwan, and I always heard my father's generation say that our Zhou clan's ancestors originated from Anxi, Fujian. Last year, with the help of the China Museum for Fujian-Taiwan Kinship, I found and returned to my ancestral home in Huqiu, Anxi."Zhou Weihua, a young Taiwanese, said.
"Anxi's tea, along with our ancestors, crossed the Strait and took root and grew in Taiwan. People, like tea trees, grow branches from the root system of their ancestral land, and then sprout new buds and leaves. When I stood in the mountain tea garden and saw the common mother plants of tea trees from both sides of the Strait, I instantly understood what it means to share the same roots and the same origin."Zhou Weihua said.
Fujian is the primary ancestral homeland of Taiwan compatriots, and every year, many Taiwan compatriots cross the Strait to return to their old homes to seek their roots and pay homage to their ancestors.
Last July, the China Museum for Fujian-Taiwan Kinship established the Fujian-Taiwan Root-Seeking and Ancestor-Worship Service and Exchange Center, and simultaneously set up six root-seeking liaison stations in Xiamen, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou, covering four categories including first-stop points for Taiwan compatriots entering Fujian, clan relatives and ancestral halls, ancestral temples and ancestral homes, and former residences of Taiwan-related celebrities. This August, the museum awarded plaques to newly established root-seeking liaison stations in Kaohsiung, Pingtung, Taichung, Taipei, and other places, extending root-seeking liaison stations to the Taiwan region for the first time.
Villages with the same name build bridges of connection. Tianyang Village in Xiamen's Tong'an District and four"Tianyang Villages"in Yunlin, Changhua, Tainan, and Pingtung, Taiwan, not only share the same name, but also share the same food flavors and the same marriage customs.
"The Tianyang Village in Tainan has clan kinship ties with our village, and clan relatives come back almost every year together to pay homage to ancestors. The other three same-name villages in Taiwan also interact frequently with us."Chen Shuirang, Party secretary of the village party committee and director of the village committee of Tianyang Village, Tong'an, Xiamen, said that in earlier years, the clan relatives who came to pay homage were older;in recent years, they often bring young people and even children of a few years old,"so that generation after generation can pass it on, letting young people know where their roots are."
As the largest-scale, widest-ranging, and most profoundly influential non-governmental exchange activity across the Strait, the Straits Forum has, since its inception, continuously centered on the theme of"expanding non-governmental exchanges and deepening integrated development",focused on grassroots, youth, culture, economy, and other fields, built a platform for compatriots on both sides of the Strait to exchange, interact, connect hearts, and integrate, cumulatively attracting more than 100,000 Taiwan compatriots to participate.
At the Straits Forum, colorful stories—the Fujian Sharks baseball team formed through joint Fujian-Taiwan teaming, the"Fujian-Taiwan partners"who start businesses hand in hand, Fujian-Taiwan rural construction and renovation teams, cross-Strait marriage families, and others—bear witness to the touching friendship of young people on both sides of the Strait pursuing dreams hand in hand and being of one heart and acting in unison.
In 2024, 2 Taiwanese coaches and 14 Taiwanese athletes participated in the Fujian Sharks baseball team, formed through joint Fujian-Taiwan teaming, and immediately threw themselves into the mainland baseball league. Participating in a national-level sports event in the form of a joint cross-Strait team—this was still the first time. Athletes from both sides of the Strait, spending time together day and night(朝夕相处, zhao xi xiang chu -"morning, evening, together, live")and striving side by side, continuously refreshing Fujian baseball competitive event records.
A few months ago, at the 2026 China Baseball League Finals concluded in Pingtan, the Fujian Sharks baseball team won third place."Everyone loves baseball, and baseball is our common language. The team members exchange skills and make progress together;we are like one family to each other, and the integration has gone quite well."Lin Keqian, coach of the Fujian Sharks baseball team, said.
Youth are the hope of the nation and the future of the nation. Only when young people on both sides of the Strait do well will the future of both sides of the Strait be good.

Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions on building a higher level of Safe China, emphasizing the need to "continue to make sustained efforts on making the country more secure, society more orderly, governance more effective, and the people more satisfied."
The "Chinese-style sense of security" has gone viral overseas. Night jogging and strolling feel carefree and reassuring; going out for a late-night snack at a moment's notice is as simple as that... The hustle and bustle of everyday life carries composure, and ordinary days hold peace of mind, making many foreigners envious.
Where does this full sense of security come from?
The rule of law provides support, science and technology empowers, and modern governance methods lay a solid foundation for safety. The crackdown on organized crime and vice continues to deepen, the Fengqiao model (枫桥经验) is flourishing in many places (遍地开花, bian di kai hua - "every place, bloom, flower"), the "smart guardians" by the masses' side are being iteratively upgraded, combining punishment and prevention (惩防并举, cheng fang bing ju - "punish, prevent, both, act") and treating both symptoms and root causes (标本兼治, biao ben jian zhi - "symptom, root, both, treat"), making our country one of the safest countries in the world.
With systematic thinking and an overall perspective, high-quality development promotes high-level safety. From capacity-building for safety in key areas such as food, energy, and finance, to responding to risks of all kinds of "black swans" and "gray rhinos," Party committees and governments at all levels adhere to coordinating development and security, laying a solid foundation for the country's long-term stability and peace (长治久安, chang zhi jiu an - "long, govern, long, peace") by solving one security problem after another.
Development is the hard truth, and security is also the hard truth. Integrate safety into every street, every alley, and every grid, and Chinese modernization will take steadier steps with greater confidence.

From Beijing to Washington, in less than half a year, the heads of state of China and the United States have achieved mutual visits, creating a new page in the history of exchanges between the two countries.
During this visit, President Xi Jinping got straight to the point: "I am visiting the United States at President Trump's invitation to carry forward the friendship, to expand cooperation, and to enhance the well-being of the peoples of the two countries."
Facing the changes of the world, the changes of the times,and the changes of history unfolding before us, how do the two major countries of China and the United States answer the questions posed by history,by the world,and by the people? The spotlight falls on this diplomatic occasion attracting worldwide attention,as people listen to the voice of China brought by President Xi Jinping and grasp the "new path for major countries to get along correctly."
"Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again are not mutually exclusive"
The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again — the two major countries of East and West each have their own grand goals,and also their own paths of practice. With vastly different social systems and different stages of development,finding the correct way to get along requires wisdom,vision,and foresight,responsibility.
"Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again are not mutually exclusive""These two goals are both grand,and can fully achieve mutual success"...During this stay in Washington,President Xi Jinping repeatedly emphasized this point.
Looking further back,the distinct Chinese position has been consistent from beginning to end."This planet can accommodate both China and the United States.The respective successes of China and the United States are opportunities for each other."President Xi Jinping pointed out.
Thought is the precursor of action;only by grasping the general can one also attend to the specific.Taking economic and trade cooperation — the stabilizer and ballast stone of China-U.S. relations — as an example,"its essence is mutually beneficial and win-win,"and it is by no means a zero-sum game of you-lose-I-win.
In May this year,when meeting with senior executives of well-known American companies who accompanied President Trump on his visit to China,President Xi Jinping pointed out that American enterprises are deeply participating in China's reform and opening up,and both sides have benefited from it.Before President Xi Jinping's visit to the United States this time,some American entrepreneurs used the metaphor of"conjoined twins"to describe China-U.S. trade,saying"the two almost share one body;forcibly separating them would be extremely dangerous."
When holding talks with President Trump in Washington,President Xi Jinping said:"The economic and trade teams of both sides have held a new round of consultations and reached a new joint arrangement,which is good news for the industries,ordinary people,and even the global economy of both countries."
"Without cooperation between the two countries,many problems in the world would be difficult to solve"
"Although China-U.S. cooperation cannot solve all problems in the world,without cooperation between the two countries,many problems in the world would be difficult to solve."President Xi Jinping's remarks at the White House welcome ceremony were full of dialectics.
This is the enlightenment of history.
More than 200 years ago,when the United States had just gained independence,China and the United States exchanged what one has for what one needs,and complemented each other's advantages,opening trade relations;more than 80 years ago,the Chinese and American peoples fought side by side against the Japanese militarist aggressors and opened the famous Hump air route...During this visit,President Xi Jinping told the stories of China-U.S. cooperation succeeding throughout history in a lingering,engaging manner.
President Trump also said:"Just as our two peoples once joined hands to win that war,Chairman Xi and I will continue to work together hand in hand to create a better future for both countries."
This is also the call of the future.
As the largest developing country and the largest developed country,the two major countries of China and the United States"bear the historical responsibility of promoting the development and progress of humanity."
Artificial intelligence concerns the future of humanity.As both major countries in artificial intelligence,China and the United States have competition,but can even more cooperate;they should each play to their respective strengths rather than guard against each other.Standing at the height of human development,President Xi Jinping pondered the direction of cooperation:"We must maintain humanity's control over artificial intelligence technology,uphold the principle of people-centeredness and the concept of striving for goodness and upward progress,and let artificial intelligence serve the progress of humanity."
From the situation in the Middle East,the Ukraine crisis,the Korean Peninsula,and other major international and regional issues,to"the two sides agreed to support each other in hosting the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting and the G20 Leaders' Summit,and the heads of state of the two countries intend to attend the meetings hosted by the other side"...A constructive strategic and stable China-U.S. relationship based on respect,fairness,and reciprocity concerns not only the respective development of the two countries,but will also profoundly affect the future and destiny of the world.
Cooperation and competition — a set of dialectical relationships.President Xi Jinping hit the nail on the head:"China and the United States need not shy away from mentioning competition,but competition should be benign and have boundaries;it should be a race of catching up with each other,rather than a fight of you-lose-I-win."Benign and stable competition with limits — this is precisely one of the connotations of the new positioning of China-U.S. relations.The purpose of China-U.S. competition is to make each other become a better version of oneself.
"Do not fail to do good merely because it is small;do not commit evil merely because it is small"
Building a constructive strategic and stable China-U.S. relationship requires both sides to move toward each other,and with the spirit of driving in nails,turn the vision into reality step by step.President Xi Jinping adapted an ancient Chinese saying to express his expectations:"Do not fail to do good merely because it is small;do not commit evil merely because it is small."
Head-of-state diplomacy is the"anchor"of bilateral relations.
"China and the United States have different national conditions;through candid,deep,and sustained dialogue,we can enhance mutual understanding,seek common ground while reserving differences,and accumulate mutual trust."President Xi Jinping pointed out,"President Trump and I respect each other,have established a good relationship,and maintain regular communication."
On the wall of the first floor of the White House,two group photos of the heads of state of the two countries taken in Busan and Beijing are hung.Since President Trump took office last year,they have met three times,continuously consolidating consensus,calibrating the course,and guiding the great ship of China-U.S. relations to move steadily to go far.
The foundation of China-U.S. relations lies in the people.At the welcome banquet,the story of ping-pong diplomacy,the story of Sai Keso funding Chinese desertification-control workers...President Xi Jinping used stories to illustrate principles:"China-U.S. people-to-people and cultural exchanges are conducive to promoting the spiritual communication between the peoples of the two countries,and have laid a solid foundation of public opinion for China-U.S. friendship and cooperation."
At the welcome ceremony,President Xi Jinping shared good news:in just a few days,giant pandas"Ping Ping"and"Fu Shuang"will settle in at Atlanta Zoo.Earlier,the giant pandas"Bao Li"and"Qing Bao"at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington had already sparked a"panda craze."
President Xi Jinping also announced that over the next five years,China will invite 100,000 American youths to come to China for exchanges and study.From"50,000 in five years"to"100,000 in five years,"more American youths will be able to observe China with their own eyes,listen to China with their own ears,and measure China with their own footsteps,building more bridges of mutual understanding and affinity between the peoples of the two countries.
Accumulating good deeds into a stream,one must also draw clear red lines.Facing the most important issue in bilateral relations — the Taiwan question —President Xi Jinping's wording was grave:"We hope the U.S. side will adhere to its correct position of opposing'Taiwan independence,'handle the Taiwan question prudently,and lay a solid foundation for China-U.S. strategic cooperation and the development of bilateral relations."
The new positioning of China-U.S. relations is an important step toward finding the correct way for the two countries to get along."We should demonstrate the responsibility of major countries,respond to the aspirations of the people and the trend of the times,and explore a new path for major countries to get along correctly."President Xi Jinping cast his gaze toward a longer-term perspective:"The future of China-U.S. relations is bright — this is the historical trend.At the same time,the road leading to brightness is often winding;there will always be various difficulties and challenges,and this also conforms to the law of development of things.I am willing to work together with President Trump,with the courage and responsibility to be accountable to history,to jointly write a resplendent chapter in the history of the development of China-U.S. relations."
Moving toward each other,the road lies beneath one's feet.

The vicissitudes of the times and the warp and weft of major-power diplomacy are often condensed into photographs, one after another.
The White House in Washington in golden autumn froze a "great moment": on September 24, in the Oval Office, President Xi Jinping, who was paying a state visit to the United States, sat smiling side by side with U.S. President Trump, their two hands clasped.
Within less than half a year, the two sides realized mutual visits, and the "unprecedented" photo of the meeting immediately appeared in prominent positions across major media outlets around the world.
Similar scenes are not far away. On the first floor of the White House, two precious group photos of the Chinese and U.S. heads of state are hung: one at the VIP lounge of the Blue House at Gimhae Airport in Busan, South Korea, and one in front of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
Three photographs, three locations, three "handshakes across the Pacific," sketch out this China-U.S. relationship that has experienced many vicissitudes or hardships (风风雨雨, feng feng yu yu - "wind, wind, rain, rain") and is now carrying forward the past and opening up a new chapter (继往开来, ji wang kai lai - "follow, past; open, future"), and also engrave the major-power vision and major-power responsibility of "coming to carry forward friendship, coming to expand cooperation, coming to enhance the well-being of the peoples of the two countries."
The first photograph: Busan.
On October 30, 2025, at the VIP lounge of the Blue House at the airport. In front of the national flags of China and the United States, the scene of President Xi Jinping and President Trump shaking hands was transmitted to the world in real time.
This was the first meeting between the two heads of state after a gap of six years, and also the first face-to-face meeting between the two sides during President Trump's second term. Previously, the China-U.S. relationship "had seen quite a few things happen" — trade frictions, technology blockades, geopolitics; the air on both sides of the Pacific was thick with an atmosphere of uncertainty.
"China and the United States have different national conditions, and it is unavoidable that there will be some differences. As the world's two largest economies, there will occasionally be frictions — this is normal." President Xi Jinping's remarks did not evade problems, and he clearly stated his position: "China and the United States can completely achieve mutual success and shared prosperity."
As the world's two largest economies and permanent members of the UN Security Council, the direction of the China-U.S. relationship affects the well-being of more than 1.7 billion people in the two countries, and also bears on the future of global peace and development.
In the in-depth conversation lasting approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, President Xi Jinping mentioned a key word — cooperation. "The two sides should calculate the big account, look more at the long-term benefits brought by cooperation" "continuously compress the problem list, lengthen the cooperation list"…
Under the guidance of the consensus of the heads of state, within less than a year, the relevant departments of China and the United States maintained communication in the fields of economy and trade, diplomacy, the two militaries, counter-narcotics, law enforcement, artificial intelligence, people-to-people and cultural exchanges, among others, injecting stability into the two countries and the world with "tangible and concrete results."
"Dialogue is better than confrontation." At the Busan meeting, President Trump expressed his expectation of visiting China earlier in 2026, and invited President Xi Jinping to visit the United States. The China-U.S. relationship was adjusted to a new scale.
The second photograph: Beijing.
On May 14, 2026, on the square outside the East Gate of the Great Hall of the People, red carpet was laid out, and the military band played "The Handshake Across the Sea," composed by American composer Sousa in 1899. The heads of state of China and the United States shook hands again, and the world's gaze focused on the East.
At that time, the international situation was interwoven with change and turbulence, the global economy encountered multiple shocks, and the international community expected China and the United States, two major countries, to use the positive expectations of cooperation to provide scarce certainty for a turbulent and unstable world.
After the in-depth talks lasting more than 2 hours and 15 minutes, a piece of news inspired the world: the Chinese and U.S. heads of state agreed to take the "China-U.S. constructive strategic stability relationship" as the new positioning of the bilateral relationship, providing strategic guidance for the development of the China-U.S. relationship in the future.
President Xi Jinping clearly pointed out the direction: "'Constructive strategic stability' should be positive stability with cooperation as the mainstay, should be sound stability with competition kept within bounds, should be normal stability with differences controllable, should be lasting stability with peace assured."
This new positioning reflects the reality of the China-U.S. relationship, and also embodies expectations for the future, receiving broad welcome from the peoples of the two countries and the international community.
"We should jointly shoulder this historic responsibility, and steer the giant ship of the China-U.S. relationship steadily forward along the correct channel."
This handshake in Beijing upgraded the consensus on dialogue reached at the Busan meeting into a strategic framework guiding the development of the China-U.S. relationship for the coming years, and was an important step in promoting the two countries toward the correct way of getting along.
The third photograph: Washington.
Traveling thousands of miles, arriving at invitation. On September 24, 2026, in the Oval Office of the White House, the sound of camera shutters rang out densely. In less than half a year, the hands of the heads of state of China and the United States were clasped again.
"Facing the changes of the world, the changes of the times, and the changes of history, China and the United States, two major countries, shoulder the historic responsibility of promoting human development and progress." At the welcoming ceremony held at the White House, President Xi Jinping spoke in a clear and engaging manner (娓娓道出, wei wei dao chu - "softly, softly; speak, out") about the profound significance of this visit.
During this visit, among the eight-point consensus on outcomes reached by China and the United States, what was particularly noteworthy was that the two sides agreed to build a "China-U.S. constructive strategic stability relationship based on respect, fairness, and reciprocity."
"China and the United States should, and completely can, achieve mutual benefits and win-win results (互利共赢, hu li gong ying - "mutual, benefit; together, win") in pragmatic cooperation, achieve mutual success in healthy competition, properly handle differences by seeking common ground while reserving differences(求同存异, qiu tong cun yi - "seek, same; preserve, different"), and build peace by accumulating mutual trust, so that the China-U.S. constructive strategic stability relationship can better benefit the peoples of the two countries and the peoples of all countries in the world."
"Turn this vision into action." Artificial intelligence — the fact that the two sides moved toward each other in this frontier technological field — reflected the development trend of relations between states.
President Xi Jinping clearly stated: "Both China and the United States are major countries in artificial intelligence; the two sides have competition, but even more so, they can cooperate; they should each give full play to their respective strengths rather than guard against each other." President Trump responded positively: "Artificial intelligence concerns the future of mankind; the U.S. and China should maintain dialogue on this and strengthen cooperation."
A handshake is a simple interpersonal etiquette, and also a diplomatic language full of power. It means equality, it means communication, and it also means cooperation.
Three photographs freeze handshakes, highlight direction, and release a strong signal to the world: "The 'Thucydides Trap' can be crossed" and "We should demonstrate the responsibility of major countries, respond to the aspirations of the people and the trend of the times, and explore a new path for major countries to get along correctly."
"Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again are moving forward together without conflict(并行不悖, bing xing bu bei - "parallel, walk; not, contradict"). Let us uphold the people-centered sentiment, demonstrate historical initiative, continuously advance the cause of friendship between the peoples of China and the United States, and join hands to build a better world together!" President Xi Jinping's gaze was fixed not only on the development of the China-U.S. relationship, but also toward the common future of human society.
Return to Top(People's Daily, Beijing, September 28) Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, met on September 28 in Beijing with Iwai Takeshi, Chairman of the Japan Association for the Promotion of International Trade.
Wang Yi stated that the Japan Association for the Promotion of International Trade is one of the renowned non-governmental friendship organizations, and since its founding has been committed to the cause of Sino-Japanese friendship, especially when Sino-Japanese relations have faced challenges or suffered damage, it has still been able to uphold the conviction of friendship toward China and safeguard the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations. The association's former Chairman, Mr. Kono Yohei, was a politician with conscience, who dared to face directly Japan's dark history of the past, and had the courage to reflect on the aggressive crimes of militarism, winning the respect of the people of China and neighboring countries. Learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones (前事不忘，后事之师, qian shi bu wang, hou shi zhi shi - "previous, matters, not, forget; later, matters, possess, teacher"). Only by truly taking history as a mirror can one genuinely open up the future. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Tokyo Trials, and Japan once again faces the interrogation of history. If it is unwilling to draw lessons from history, challenges the postwar "Peace Constitution," or even attempts to overturn the verdict on aggressive history, summon the spirits of war criminals, then Japan cannot face the world, let alone open up the future, and it will also be difficult for it to have a future.
Wang Yi pointed out that next year marks the 55th anniversary of the normalization of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations. The current Sino-Japanese relations once again face a severe situation, awaiting once more a return to normalization. For the Japanese side, what is urgent is to correct as soon as possible the erroneous words and deeds of its own leaders on the Taiwan question; what is important is to adopt a correct attitude on historical issues; and what is fundamental is to form an objective and rational perception of China. It is hoped that the Japan Association for the Promotion of International Trade and all people of insight will inherit the tradition of friendship, promote Japan to make the correct choice, and produce a qualified answer sheet.
Iwai Takeshi stated that the current state of Japan-China relations is worrying. The Association for the Promotion of International Trade will inherit the will of former Chairman Mr. Kono Yohei, promote the two countries' relations to return to the original aspiration and starting point of the four Japan-China political documents. Japan should not forget the lessons of the past, and politicians must grasp well the direction of Japan, continuing unswerving and steadfastly (坚定不移, jian ding bu yi -"firm, steady, not, move") to walk the path of peaceful development.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 28) From September 20 to 23, the China-U.S. economic and trade teams held economic and trade consultations in New York and Washington, achieving positive consensus and contributing outcomes in the economic and trade field to the meeting of the heads of state of the two countries. The person in charge of the Department of American and Oceanian Affairs of the Ministry of Commerce interpreted the relevant outcomes of the economic and trade consultations.
I. On the Trade Council
After consultations, the Chinese and U.S. sides agreed to establish a China-U.S. Trade Council under the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism, with the main task of optimizing bilateral trade. The economic and trade teams of both sides have reached consensus on the tasks, structure, responsibilities, and consultation arrangements of the Council, which will be announced subsequently. The Trade Council will first discuss the "30 billion for 30 billion" reciprocal tariff reduction framework, with a view to reaching consensus. An agricultural working group has been established under the framework of the Trade Council, and other arrangements for optimizing bilateral trade will also be considered. It is believed that the Trade Council will provide an important platform and institutional guarantee for China and the United States to continuously lengthen the list of cooperation and compress the list of problems in the economic and trade field, promoting the sustained, stable, and sound development of China-U.S. economic and trade relations.
II. On the "30 billion for 30 billion" Reciprocal Tariff Reduction Arrangement
To implement the important consensus of the meeting of the heads of state of the two countries, based on mutual respect and equal consultation, the Chinese and U.S. sides held multiple rounds of consultations on the 30 billion U.S. dollar reciprocal tariff reduction arrangement under the framework of the Trade Council, and have now reached consensus. The two sides agreed to lower, in a reciprocal manner, tariffs on products valued at approximately 30 billion U.S. dollars imported from each other, with tariffs on approximately 90 percent of each side's products to be reduced to the most-favored-nation tariff rate level. The two sides will implement the tariff reduction arrangements simultaneously after completing relevant procedures in accordance with their respective domestic laws. Relevant information on the reciprocal tariff reduction arrangement will be announced subsequently. This arrangement helps to continue stabilizing China-U.S. economic and trade relations and creates better conditions for the export of our relevant products to the United States.
III. On Expanding Coal Trade
The economic and trade teams of the Chinese and U.S. sides reached consensus that China's tariffs on coal imported from the United States will be included in the "30 billion for 30 billion" reciprocal tariff reduction framework, which will be conducive to China importing coal from the United States annually in 2027 and 2028. Importing U.S. coal is both a beneficial supplement to China's domestic coal market and will bring stable economic income and employment to the U.S. coal industry, conducive to stabilizing and expanding bilateral trade between Chinaand the United States. It is expected that, with the joint efforts of both sides, cooperation in the coal field between Chinaand the United States will continue to deepen, achieving mutually beneficial outcomes (互利共赢, hu li gong ying - "mutual, benefit, win, win").
IV. On the China-U.S. Investment Council
After consultations, the Chinese and U.S. sides agreed to establish a China-U.S. Investment Council under the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism. The Council will build an institutionalized communication platform for both sides. The economic and trade teams of both sides will carry out regular dialogue on potential investment opportunities and investment barriers, and, subject to compliance with the respective laws and regulatory requirements of the two countries, enhance policy transparency and predictability and respond to reasonable concerns of enterprises.
V. On the Agricultural Working Group
In May of this year, the economic and trade teams of Chinaand the United States reached a series of positive consensuses on promoting the resolution of non-tariff barriers and market access issues for some agricultural products of both sides, and agreed in principle to include relevant products in the "30 billion for 30 billion" reciprocal tariff reduction framework. Subsequently, the economic and trade teams of both sides carried out professional and pragmatic consultations on agricultural topics. Against this background, both sides agreed to establish an Agricultural Working Group under the China-U.S. Trade Council, co-led by China's Ministry of Commerce and the Office of the United States Trade Representative, with relevant regulatory agencies of both countries participating. The Working Group will hold discussions on issues such as two-way market access and regulation for agricultural products. The two sides agreed to hold the first meeting of the Working Group before the end of 2026. China will continue, through Working Group meetings, to urge the U.S. side to resolve China's concerns in the agricultural field.
VI. On Financial Services
In recent years, China has autonomously expanded the opening of financial services, which has been recognized by the international community, and many U.S.-funded institutions have also benefited from it. In this round of consultations, the two sides reached principled consensus in the field of financial services. China will approve, in accordance with laws and regulations, applications of financial service institutions of various countries, including U.S.-funded ones, to conduct business and establish branches in China. China hopes that the United States will also provide a fair, transparent, and stable policy environment for Chinese-funded financial institutions.
VII. On the China-U.S. Artificial Intelligence Dialogue
In this round of consultations, both sides agreed that, under the China-U.S. economic and trade consultation mechanism, Vice Premier He Lifeng and Treasury Secretary Bessent, as the respective leads of Chinaand the United States, would establish an artificial intelligence dialogue, and held the first dialogue, exchanging views on the risks and benefits related to artificial intelligence. The two sides agreed to hold the next dialogue before the end of November this year. The two sides agreed to establish communication channels for artificial intelligence incidents.
VIII. On the Extension of the Kuala Lumpur Economic and Trade Consultation Joint Arrangement
In October 2025, the Chinese and U.S. sides reached a joint arrangement in Kuala Lumpur on resolving economic and trade issues of mutual concern, suspending the implementation of some tariff and non-tariff measures of both sides until November 10, 2026. In this round of economic and trade consultations, the Chinese and U.S. sides agreed that, on the basis of extending the Kuala Lumpur Economic and Trade Consultation Joint Arrangement to January 10, 2027, they would continue to actively explore this matter, with the aim of reaching a solution agreed upon by both sides. This arrangement, on the one hand, provides space for both sides to respectively take stock of and assess the implementation of the Joint Arrangement and consider how to advance China-U.S. economic and trade relations in the next step; on the other hand, through a combination of an extension for a certain period and continued active discussion, it provides a relatively stable and predictable policy environment for cooperation between enterprises of both sides. It is believed that both sides will continue to work hard and, through high-level economic and trade interactions before the end of the year, find a positive solution for further extension.
IX. On Increasing Direct China-U.S. Flights
Passenger flights between the two countries play an important role in promoting people-to-people exchanges, cultural exchanges, and economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. In this round of consultations, the Chinese and U.S. sides exchanged views on increasing direct passenger flights. The two sides agreed to maintain communication on increasing China-U.S. flights and related matters.
X. On Implementing the Consensus of Previous Consultations
Since last year, both sides have held eight rounds of economic and trade consultations, centering on important economic and trade topics of common concern such as promoting bilateral trade and investment, achieving a series of mutually beneficial, balanced, and positive economic and trade outcomes, and maintaining the overall stability of economic and trade relations between the two countries. In this round of consultations, the Chinese and U.S. sides reaffirmed and once again committed to continuing to properly implement the consensus reached in previous economic and trade consultations. This will create favorable conditions and a stable environment for economic and trade cooperation between the two countries, and is also of great significance for promoting global economic development.
Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 28) On September 28, Peng Qinghua, Vice Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, met with Manning, Temporary President of the Oregon State Senate of the United States, and his delegation at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The two sides had an in-depth exchange of views on implementing the important consensus reached at the latest meeting between the Chinese and American heads of state, and on further strengthening exchanges between legislative bodies at various levels and subnational cooperation between the two countries.

By turning more development experience into a driving force for common progress, South-South cooperation will pool stronger synergy for global sustainable development and enable the fruits of cooperation to benefit the people of all countries.
Recently, a commemorative event for the United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The participating guests focused on topics such as green development and digital inclusion in Southern countries, exploring practical pathways to strengthen South-South cooperation and accelerate the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Although countries differ in their stages of development, resource endowments, and national conditions, they face similar development challenges. Commemorating the United Nations Day for South-South Cooperation is precisely about seeking common concerns from different development practices, building consensus for cooperation through learning from each other through exchange (交流互鉴, jiao liu hu jian - "exchange, mutual learn"), and thereby fully unleashing the comparative advantages of all parties, so that the fruits of development cooperation benefit the people of more countries.
Under the current international situation, South-South cooperation is more important than ever. Looking across the globe, geopolitical conflicts are intensifying, and multiple crises are intertwined and overlapping. Climate change, sharp decline in biodiversity, widening gap between rich and poor, as well as rapidly developing new technologies, all pose challenges to countries, especially developing countries. In 2025, global official development assistance fell by 23.1%, marking the largest decline in history. The global sustainable development financing gap reaches as high as 4 trillion US dollars annually, and the implementation process of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development faces severe tests. Although governments, research institutions, and enterprises from various countries are exploring solutions in areas such as poverty reduction, climate governance, and digital transformation, many effective practices remain confined to local scopes, and some projects are also constrained by insufficient funding, making it difficult to promote and apply them on a larger scale. By pooling development experience, innovation capacity, and financing resources, South-South cooperation and trilateral cooperation can promote the implementation of more effective and practical (行之有效, xing zhi you xiao - "walk, achieve, have, effect") solutions, providing strong support for countries to address a series of development challenges such as poverty reduction, development, and post-disaster reconstruction.
As an important participant and contributor to international development cooperation, China actively shares development experience and practical achievements, continuously injecting momentum into South-South cooperation. China initiated the establishment of the Global Development Project Pool, building a platform for development cooperation projects to connect with partners, technology, funds, and other resources. At present, hundreds of cooperation partners have actively participated in the construction of the Global Development Project Pool, with over 1,800 projects already carried out, covering key cooperation areas such as poverty reduction, food security, climate change, and digital economy. China has also established the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund and increased its capital to 4 billion US dollars, implementing over 200 projects in more than 70 countries together with more than 20 international organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme and the World Food Programme, benefiting more than 40 million people. The cooperation content includes climate information services, early disaster warning, and other fields, effectively helping relevant countries enhance their disaster prevention and response capabilities.
I once served as the Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme in Bangladesh, and witnessed firsthand the tangible changes that cooperation between the United Nations Development Programme and the Chinese government has brought to local communities. In Bangladesh, relevant cooperation projects have helped local people establish and expand micro, small, and medium enterprises by providing vocational skills training, as well as means of production such as sewing machines, information technology equipment, and handcart operations. As of June this year, the project has covered 6 local cities, benefiting 387,000 people. These practices show that only by combining funds, professional knowledge, and development experience with local needs can South-South cooperation be transformed into tangible development results. Through trilateral cooperation, combining China's development experience and resources, the leading role of partner countries, and the professional knowledge and global network of the United Nations, and promoting the alignment of digital and green technology applications with local needs and capacity building, can enable the people of more countries to benefit from development.
The development challenges facing the world today are increasingly complex, and no single country can address them alone. Upholding multilateralism, strengthening solidarity and coordination among developing countries, promoting knowledge exchange and experience sharing, pooling more development resources, and promoting common progress of all countries are inevitable choices for addressing global challenges. By turning more development experience into a driving force for common progress, South-South cooperation will pool stronger synergy for global sustainable development, enabling the fruits of cooperation to benefit the people of all countries.

Return to Top(Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 28) On September 28, the State Council convened a national video conference on work safety. At the meeting, Li Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, emphasized that it is necessary to thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on work safety, adhere to putting the people first (人民至上, ren min zhi shang - "people, supreme, arrive at") and putting life first, further tighten and consolidate responsibility, grasp and refine all aspects of work safety work, resolutely prevent and curb the occurrence of major and extraordinarily serious accidents, and effectively safeguard the safety of people's lives and property and the overall stability of society.
Li Qiang pointed out that in recent times, major and extraordinarily serious work safety production accidents have occurred successively in some localities, causing serious losses to people's lives and property, which must arouse a high degree of vigilance. It is necessary to deeply understand the severe and complex situation facing work safety, effectively strengthen the sense of responsibility and urgency in doing work safety work well, make great efforts to solve problems such as rules and regulations not being implemented in place, outsourcing management seeing a proliferation of chaotic phenomena (乱象丛生, luan xiang cong sheng - "chaos, phenomenon, grow, arise"), and safety supervision and law enforcement not being strict, so as to safeguard high-quality development with a high level of safety.
Li Qiang emphasized that it is necessary to highlight major risk scenarios, strictly prevent fire accidents, strengthen safety management of mixed production and business premises, strictly regulate outsourcing, severely crack down on illegal and irregular subcontracting and subletting and other acts, and support enterprises in strengthening the construction of their own skilled worker teams. It is necessary to focus on key industries and fields, advance the implementation of the "eight hard measures" for mine safety, strengthen whole-chain safety supervision of fireworks and firecrackers, carry out special rectification of ship enterprises along coasts and rivers, strengthen tourism and transportation safety management around the National Day holiday, and do good work in accident prevention in hazardous chemicals, industry and trade, construction, and other industries and fields. It is necessary to effectively improve the quality and effectiveness of risk hazard investigation and rectification, promote the implementation of standards for determining major accident hazards, strengthen the closed-loop management of hazard rectification, verification, and cancellation, enhance the capability to investigate and rectify hidden dangers, and achieve early detection and early handling of all types of hazards. It is necessary to further tighten work safety supervision and law enforcement, improve the effectiveness of supervision, enhance the deterrent force of law enforcement, and better give play to the "sharp sword" role of assessment, inspection, and patrol. It is necessary to comprehensively improve the work safety level of enterprises, accelerate the elimination, withdrawal, and technical transformation of outdated equipment, and promote enterprises to improve their safety management systems. Central enterprises and state-owned enterprises must take the lead in work safety.
Li Qiang emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen territorial management, departmental supervision, and enterprises' primary responsibility, implement the requirements of "shared responsibility of the Party and government, dual responsibility of one post, joint management with coordinated efforts, and accountability for dereliction of duty," and in accordance with the principles of "three musts" and "whoever is in charge is responsible," urge enterprises to compress safety responsibility measures down to specific scenarios, specific posts, and specific personnel. It is necessary to strengthen social coordination and joint governance, strengthen the popularization of work safety laws, regulations, and knowledge, and vigorously cultivate a safety culture. At present, it is also necessary to do good work in disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief, strengthen monitoring, early warning, hazard investigation, and duty attendance, improve emergency plans, and once a disaster occurs, handle it in a timely, efficient, and scientific manner, minimizing disaster losses to the greatest extent.
Zhang Guoqing chaired the meeting; Wang Xiaohong and Wu Zhenglong attended the meeting.

On September 28, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences under the theme "Getting Off to a Good Start for the 15th Five-Year Plan," at which Pang Xiaogang, Deputy Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and others introduced the relevant situation regarding promoting the high-quality development of central enterprises.
In the first eight months, central enterprises achieved total profits of 1.8 trillion yuan
"Since the beginning of this year, the resilience of central enterprises in development has continued to strengthen, the quality of development has continued to improve, and the overall economic operation has shown a good momentum of steady progress amidst stability (稳中有进, wen zhong you jin - "stable, within, have, advance")." Said Wang Shaofei, Director of the Bureau of Financial Supervision and Operation Evaluation of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
Overall, in the first eight months, central enterprises cumulatively achieved added value of 7.2 trillion yuan, achieved total profits of 1.8 trillion yuan; paid total taxes and fees of nearly 1.8 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.4%. As of the end of August, the total assets of central enterprises reached 99.3 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.2%.
In terms of operations, in the first eight months, the operating income profit margin of central enterprises increased by 0.2 percentage points year-on-year, reaching 7.5%, and the operating income cash recovery rate increased by 3 percentage points; net operating cash flow reached 2.2 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.1%. The water content in the income of central enterprises has been squeezed out, and the "gold content" of their operations has been raised.
In terms of research and development, in the first eight months, the intensity of R&D expenditure investment of central enterprises increased by 0.1 percentage points year-on-year, and the scale of R&D expenditure investment reached 5912.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.7%, with the full-year total expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan. This will be the fifth consecutive year that central enterprises' R&D expenditure investment has exceeded one trillion yuan.
In addition, in the first eight months, central enterprises completed fixed asset investment of 2.8 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.4%, with investment in strategic emerging industries reaching 1.2 trillion yuan.
Wang Shaofei stated that in the fourth quarter, guidance will be given to central enterprises to further improve operational quality and efficiency, optimize asset structures, lead the healthy development of the industry, and firmly hold the bottom line of safe development.
During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, efforts will be made to strive to increase the proportion of basic research investment in total R&D investment to above 15%
The "15th Five-Year Plan" of central enterprises has already been issued. Pang Xiaogang introduced that the plan highlights the added value indicator, de-emphasizes scale-type indicators such as operating income, and guides enterprises to truly shift their work focus to high-quality development.
Continuously optimize the industrial layout. The plan proposes that by 2030, the proportion of added value of strategic emerging industries in central enterprises should be further increased by 5 percentage points, with efforts focused on building new pillar industries, and in the public service sector, greater emphasis should be placed on support and guarantee.
Strengthen basic research. "We will guide central enterprises to focus on 'what to do' in basic research, making precise and powerful arrangements for technology; focus on 'who will do it' in basic research, gathering scientific research forces over a broader scope; focus on 'what to rely on to do it' in basic research, earnestly creating a good atmosphere for innovation." Said Zhang Jianlong, Director of the Science and Technology Innovation Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
Specifically, efforts will focus on consolidating the technological foundation in key areas such as integrated circuits, industrial software, and industrial mother machines. At the same time, in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and brain-computer interfaces, as well as in fields such as deep sea, deep space, and deep earth, frontier technology layout and research and development will be strengthened.
Promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. This year, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, for the first time, specially compiled the "15th Five-Year Plan" science and technology innovation plan. "Ensure the stable growth of central enterprises' scientific research investment." Said Zhang Jianlong, in 2025, the proportion of basic research investment of central enterprises in total R&D investment increased from 6% in 2021 to 9.4%, and during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, efforts will be made to strive to increase it to above 15%.
As of now, central enterprises have led the construction of 91 national key laboratories, established 8 industry common technology research institutes; facing the whole society, they have released the "Top Ten Basic Science Questions" of central enterprises, setting up more than 100 scientific research projects; original technology source sites have achieved 384 landmark results.
Further deepen the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises. "Strive to remove the deep-seated institutional and mechanism obstacles and prominent problems that restrict enterprise development, continuously promote state-owned enterprises and state-owned capital to become stronger, better, and larger, continuously enhance core functions, and improve core competitiveness." Said Pang Xiaogang.
Launch the "Scene Vientiane" special action, accelerate scene cultivation and opening
In addition to strengthening themselves, during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, how will central enterprises better play their leading and driving role?
Act as good "scene cultivators."
In recent years, central enterprises have deeply implemented the "Co-Chain" action for the integrated development of industrial chains, releasing over 2.2 ten-thousand items of supply-demand lists, involving an amount of 1.2 trillion yuan, and driving nearly 2.4 ten-thousand enterprises of various types.
In July this year, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council launched the "Scene Vientiane" special action. "Accelerating scene cultivation and opening helps central enterprises better play their leading and driving role, promoting the common development of various types of enterprises." Said Dai Xi, Director of the Planning and Development Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
Expand the "breadth" of opening. Establish a scene library for central enterprises, with the first batch of ten landmark scenes as the traction, release in batches, manage dynamically, and open all available opportunities or venues (应开尽开, ying kai jin kai - "should, open, all, possible, open").
Enhance the "precision" of docking. Upgrade the "scene special zone" of the open-source revitalization community of state-owned assets and central enterprises, create a round-the-clock, normalized online supply-demand docking platform, so that all parties in industry, academia, research, and application can find an entry point, get into the scene, and receive feedback.
Tap the "depth" of collaboration. Guide and promote central enterprises to collaborate deeply with private enterprises, universities and research institutes, and innovation teams, working together on the same questions, and put into practice the approach of "central enterprises provide scenes, society provides solutions, cooperation produces results."
Fully participate in the construction of the "Six Networks."
In terms of the water network, deeply participate in the construction of 40 backbone water transmission and drainage channels, strongly supporting national water security guarantees; in terms of the new-type power grid, take the lead in building the world's largest, highest-voltage-level, and largest-scale new-energy grid-integration AC-DC hybrid large power grid, with the full-caliber average power supply reliability rate reaching 99.948%; in terms of the computing power network, cumulatively complete and put into operation 6 domestically-produced ten-thousand-card intelligent computing clusters, pilot-construct computing-power-electricity collaborative projects, and provide society with inclusive, easy-to-use, green, and safe computing power services; in terms of the new-generation communication network, support the completion of the world's largest, technologically leading communication network, with 4.83 million 5G base stations successfully deployed, 5G-A commercial network coverage having cumulatively exceeded 330 cities, and satellite internet operation and service capabilities initially taking shape; in terms of the urban underground pipeline network, a batch of benchmark projects represented by the Xiong'an New Area comprehensive utility tunnel are successively being constructed and operated in various places; in terms of the logistics network, take the lead in preparing the construction of a national-level logistics big data platform, continuously advance the construction of sea, land, and air logistics hubs, form an aviation and shipping network reaching the whole world, the new channel project of the Three Gorges water transport officially commencing construction, the Pinglu Canal opening to navigation along its entire route, greatly enhancing our country's inland water transport capacity and the level of river-sea connectivity.
"In the next step, state-owned assets and central enterprises will continue to strengthen overall planning, intensify intensive utilization, and fully participate in the construction of the 'Six Networks.'" Pang Xiaogang introduced that central enterprises will act as operators, service providers, and system integrators, jointly participating in construction with various types of enterprises and jointly sharing the results.
Return to Top(People's Daily, Beijing, September 28) (Reporter Wang Zheng) The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and six other departments jointly issued on the 28th the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the New-Type Battery Industry," proposing that by 2030, major progress be achieved in our country's research and development of new-system batteries, and that all-solid-state batteries initially realize scaled application.
New-type batteries are high-efficiency electrical energy storage and conversion devices or systems whose core innovation directions are new mechanisms, new materials, new structures, and new processes, represented by lithium batteries, sodium batteries, and flow batteries. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, our country's new-type battery industry achieved rapid and significant progress (跨越发展, kua yue fa zhan - "leap, develop"), attaining historic accomplishments in industrial scale, technological innovation, industrial chain construction, and global influence, with total output value breaking through the trillion-yuan threshold and occupying a major share of the global market; the energy density of mass-produced battery cells exceeded 300 watt-hours per kilogram, and the maximum cycle life of new-type batteries exceeded 12,000 cycles.
The plan proposes 19 key tasks and 5 special columns from 5 aspects, clarifying that by 2030, long-life lithium batteries shall achieve a cycle life of 15,000 cycles, and the product defect rate of leading enterprises shall reach the PPB level. The construction of a full-scenario application ecosystem shall be accelerated, with new-type battery technology and clean energy and energy-consuming terminals accelerating their integrated and innovative development, efficiently empowering the iterative upgrading of intelligent terminal products and the electrification of automobiles, ships, aviation, intelligent robots, engineering machinery, agricultural machinery equipment, and other fields, meeting the needs of new-type power system construction, and further expanding in energy storage application scenarios such as the power supply side, the power grid side, as well as industrial parks and data centers. International trade and investment integration shall be deepened, serving the global economic and social green and low-carbon development.
Return to Top(People's Daily, Beijing, September 28) (Reporter Qu Xinming) The reporter learned from a sci-tech insurance exchange and promotion meeting recently co-convened by the National Financial Regulatory Administration, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and other departments: in the first eight months of this year, sci-tech insurance provided 8.7 trillion yuan in risk protection for sci-tech activities, a year-on-year increase of 66.9 percent.
In recent years, various departments, regions, and insurance institutions have worked in coordination to advance sci-tech insurance from pilot exploration toward systematic development, with business scale growing rapidly and the scope of coverage continuing to expand. In the next step, the financial regulatory, science and technology, industry and information technology, finance, and intellectual property departments should strengthen coordination, balance support for innovation with the safety management of funds, and foster a sound development environment. Sci-tech insurance should extend from protecting assets to protecting processes, from protecting outcomes to protecting exploration, and from "economic compensation" to "risk reduction" and "empowerment and credit enhancement." Policy publicity should be strengthened, a coordinated promotion mechanism for sci-tech insurance should be established, and the implementation of sci-tech insurance policies should be pushed to deliver tangible results. Support should be given to the Beijing (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei), Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta), and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area international science and technology innovation centers in becoming the "first-launch sites" for sci-tech insurance innovation, playing a role in taking the lead in pilot programs and trials (先行先试, xian xing xian shi - "first, act, first, try") and in providing guidance and demonstration.
In addition, efforts should focus on major national sci-tech tasks and small and medium-sized sci-tech enterprises, expand insurance coverage, and promote sci-tech insurance into industrial parks, incubators, and high-tech zones. Insurance products should be optimized across the entire chain of research and development, pilot testing, commercialization of research results, first trial and first use, and industrialization, embedding risk assessment, monitoring and early warning, and hidden danger investigation into enterprise innovation processes.

As autumn arrives, in the seed-production fields of Dianjiang County, Chongqing, the rice is being harvested in abundance. More than ten days ago, farmers walked along the narrow rows of male parent rice plants, cutting down the pollinated male parents row by row. Once the male parents were cleared, the female parents were exposed, and looking from afar, they resembled lines drawn with a ruler.
Now, the gradually yellowing female parent rice has also reached its harvest period. Green intermingled with gold in the paddy fields, and the grain ears are plump with fully filled kernels. As the harvester passes, the header keeps turning, and the kernels pour into the grain tank with a rustling sound.
The harvested paddy is sent into the drying workshop, where machines hum continuously. Guan Yusheng, a researcher at the Rice Research Institute of the Chongqing Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told reporters: "Some commercial rice uses vertical dryers. This kind of equipment is like a sealed tank; if it isn't cleaned thoroughly, it easily causes variety mixing. Seed-production rice has high purity requirements and cannot use this kind."
He pointed at a machine resembling a shipping container beside him and said: "We use this kind of horizontal dryer — open, well-ventilated, and easier to clean."
The drying temperature for seed-production rice is strictly controlled, needing to be kept at 40–42 degrees Celsius. "If the temperature is too high, the embryo will directly lose viability; if it is too low, the rice won't dry through, and will also generate respiration heat, which instead accelerates mildew. We explored for several years before we worked out a temperature-control protocol that can maximize preservation of seed vigor and reduce losses." Guan Yusheng said.
The seeds bred in Dianjiang are not only used locally. This rice variety in the field, "Q You 12," has high amylose content, harder grains, and low flour-breaking rate, making it a sought-after commodity in the rice-noodle industry — it appears in Yunnan's Guobridge rice noodles, Guizhou's mutton rice noodles, and more.
Over these years, Ouyang Jie, a researcher at the Rice Research Institute, has led his team to take root in Dianjiang, continuously optimizing the "Q You 12" variety. Through hybridization, they introduced low-cadmium genes and fragrance genes, both controlling the heavy-metal risk and giving the rice a natural fragrance. From hybridization to stable traits, going back and forth over ten generations, the "rice-noodle rice" finally moved from the experimental field to the large fields, becoming a golden seed that increases farmers' incomes.
The income increase ledger is clear. In Chongqing, the purchase price of "Q You 12" per jin is a few fen more than ordinary rice, and combined with its high yield, farmers can earn several hundred yuan more per mu. For rice-noodle processing enterprises, though using "Q You 12" costs slightly more, the rice noodles taste refreshing, springy, and smooth, don't turn the soup cloudy, and consumers are more willing to pay for it.
Farmers are willing to plant it, enterprises are willing to buy it, and "Q You 12" seeds have already been sold to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, and other major rice-noodle consumption areas. From a single seed to a bowl of rice noodles, every link of the industry chain benefits.
Around November this year, this batch of seeds will go to market, and Guan Yusheng is very confident: "The seeds of 'rice-noodle rice' are always in short supply (供不应求, gong bu ying qiu - "supply, not, meet, demand"), and I estimate they will sell out before next year."

Mount Tai stands towering and majestic; the Yellow River surges onward, pouring into the sea.
In the hills of southern Lu, innovation surges through the production workshops of Zaozhuang; in the heartland of central Lu, the bustling convenience market of Zibo is alive with the rising smoke of daily life; along the Jiaodong coast, Yantai's science-popularization venues draw crowds of visitors… Walking through the land of Qilu, the pulse of consumption vitality is clearly palpable.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized, "Adapt to changes in the consumption structure, expand the supply of high-quality goods and services""improve consumption conditions, innovate consumption scenarios, and fully unleash the potential of consumption."
As a major economic province that is the first in the north to see its gross regional product exceed 10 trillion yuan, Shandong has deeply studied and implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, anchored on"taking the lead, shouldering the heavy burden," cultivated endogenous resilience, forged iterative momentum, improved long-term mechanisms, and continuously stimulated consumption with potential.
The thickness of the mountain——
The industrial foundation supports new consumption supply
The grandeur of Mount Tai lies in its deep roots and stable foundations, in the accumulation of ten-thousand ren. Shandong is a traditional major industrial province and major agricultural province, possessing all 41 industrial categories, with the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fisheries ranking first nationwide. Complete categories, full industrial chains, and abundant products constitute the"Mount Tai stone" that supports new consumption supply.
How does the thickness of the family foundation translate into the heat of consumption?
In Tengzhou, Zaozhuang, a silicone enterprise's answer is: through technological innovation, transform from selling raw materials into selling products.
In the workshop, blue particles flow along the conveyor belt; their destination is not factory floors or construction sites, but thousands of households."Pet products are selling well; we have set our sights on this blue ocean and developed cat litter that can help monitor pets' health conditions, sold to more than 90 countries." Said Fang Kuan, general manager of Shandong Xinhua Silicone Co.,, Ltd.
In Shouguang, Weifang, an agricultural technology enterprise's answer is: smart empowerment, the old hand welcomes a new helper.
In the furrows, the robot dog's camera is aimed at the leaves, with images transmitted back to the backend in real time."The robot dog can help farmers prevent and control diseases earlier and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides." Wang Yihong, a person in charge of Weifang Yuntu Science and Technology Innovation Co.,, Ltd., said that with better vegetable quality, consumers can feel more at ease.
In Chiping, Liaocheng, an aluminum company's answer is: turning waste into something useful, with industrial waste heat nourishing agricultural production in return.
A few pipes connect the thermal power plant and the planting greenhouses. Cooling water is used for greenhouse temperature regulation, and carbon dioxide is processed into"gaseous fertilizer.""Fruits are marketed at staggered times, and people are willing to pay for the'first taste of freshness'." Said Zhang Qingbo, a technician at the Xinfa Modern Agriculture Industrial Park.
Three answers point to the same transformation: from"sell whatever you have"to"produce whatever is demanded".
Consumption upgrading is a two-way journey between supply and demand. The old family foundation cannot afford to act bossy or overbearing based on one's seniority; it must change with demand and move toward the new. The preferences of consumers are the compass for producers.
On the road toward the new, policies also build bridges——
Trade-in for new, driving bulk consumption. Shandong has actively implemented the subsidy policy for trade-in of consumer goods, and this year has taken the lead in including 8 categories of products such as floor-sweeping robots. As of mid-August, Shandong's applications for consumer goods trade-in have exceeded 14.3 million items, driving sales revenue of 115.7 billion yuan.
Brand cultivation, winning market favor. Shandong has gone all out to build the"Good Products of Shandong" regional public brand, constructing a tiered cultivation and selection system, with 523 brands already selected.
The surge of the river——
Cultural creativity lights up new consumption scenarios
The Yellow River rolls vast, the cultural lineage runs long. From Confucian classics to intangible cultural heritage skills, from canal customs to maritime cultural charm, Shandong's cultural heritage is profound. When culture meets consumption, historical accumulation becomes living water, stirring up waves of creativity.
Industrial clustering, turning culture into fine goods that can be carried away.

The first city the Yellow River enters Shandong, Heze. Stepping into the e-Shang Town of Cao County, Hanfu garments fill the eyes. In a Hanfu experience store, tourists are gently gathering their sleeves in front of the fitting mirror.
In 2025, Cao County has more than 2,800 Hanfu-related enterprises, with sales reaching 13 billion yuan."From design, production, marketing, to after-sales service, we have formed a complete industrial chain." Said Hu Chunqing, president of the Cao County Hanfu Association.
Scene reconstruction, turning culture into a space that can be played with.
Heading east along the river, on the north bank, Dezhou. Strolling through the Leling Film and Television City, upturned eaves are staggered, and an air of antiquity abounds.
Since the local construction of the film and television city, the themed streets and markets have been quite lively, with surrounding villages launching combined services, and the heat of the silver screen continuously spilling outward. Tourist Jiao Kexin, dressed in a cheongsam and with her hair done up in a bun, participated in street interactive games,"It feels like walking into a movie!"
Experience upgrading, turning culture into a life that can be savored.
Continuing forward, south of the great river, Zibo. Passing through the Bada Ju convenience market, the performance on stage is still in full swing, while the fire beneath the stove is burning bright. Tourist Li Xuerong said:"The barbecue and the performances both have strong local characteristics; this evening has been full of flavor."
"We have launched immersive performances on themes such as Jiang Ziya, Liaozhai, and the Great Dye House, where the hustle and bustle of the marketplace intermingles with historical culture." Introduced Zheng Haolin, head of the Bada Ju Convenience Market Management Office.
The yardstick of consumption is shifting from"value for money"to"a stir in the heart." The weight of participatory experience, social attributes, and emotional value in consumption choices is growing ever larger. People hope that through consumption, they can seek identity of meaning and reap emotional resonance.
In Jinan, Chinese medicine counters have become observation display stands; in Jining, camping parks have become study tour classrooms; in Tai'an, traditional handicraft shops have become cultural creativity stores… In today's Shandong, the weighty cultural heritage has found a lightweight expression, responding all the more to people's expectations and redefining the meaning of consumption.
Such changes have converged into a powerful trend. In 2025, Shandong's cultural enterprises above designated size achieved operating revenue exceeding 740 billion yuan, with intangible cultural heritage-related enterprises and business households achieving an annual output value of 160 billion yuan.
Behind the data, Shandong has continuously intensified its cultural industry, building a cultural consumption support system featuring technological empowerment, model innovation, and incentive-driven development——cultural traffic is becoming consumption growth.
The breadth of the sea——
Industrial integration nurtures new consumption business formats
The winding coastline outlines the contour of the Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by sea on three sides, and also nurtures a disposition of having a broad mind or great capacity. Not long ago, Shandong issued a plan proposing to implement a cultural-tourism integration, innovation, and upgrading project. Boosting consumption is like a hundred rivers returning to the sea——not a single-line effort where each acts on its own, but a three-dimensional linkage that builds momentum and grows strong.
The paths of integration differ according to endowments.
Looking inward from a single boat ticket——integration and optimization, revitalizing existing stock.

In Qingdao, in the past, various shipping operators each managed their own business, with uneven service quality. Qingdao Tourism Group took the lead in integrating 92 shipping operators, launching 23 premium routes and 37 categories of products, stringing docks, scenic spots, fishing villages, and urban life together like beads on a chain. According to estimates, every 1 yuan of boat ticket drives approximately 33 yuan of derivative consumption.
Looking outward from a pufferfish——cross-border transformation, opening up incremental growth.
In Rongcheng, Weihai, ornamental pufferfish have become a must-see for many tourists. The Sangou Bay Marine Ranch, based on its nearshore aquaculture, has turned its 2,800 mu of aquaculture waters into a sightseeing platform, carving out a new cultural-tourism track, receiving approximately 100,000 tourists annually, with cultural-tourism annual revenue of 7-8 million yuan.
Whether turning inward or outward, one proposition cannot be avoided——traffic is fleeting, while"retention"is hard to come by. A moment of popularity is not uncommon across industries; sustained vitality, however, tests a place's ability to mobilize resources and the quality of its social governance.
Haiyang, Yantai, a small coastal town, is becoming a new landmark for aerospace cultural tourism.
Taking maritime space launch missions as an opportunity, the local area has continuously broadened its scope: for viewing services, it has made good site planning and paired them with warm-up folk performances; for study tours, it has launched dozens of interactive programs and introduced multiple industrial tourism routes; for chain extension, it has driven accommodation, catering, intangible cultural heritage, agricultural specialties, and more sectors to spread out layer by layer.
Around a single rocket, mobilizing an entire city——Shandong has many similar attempts. Jinan, Qingdao, Yantai, and other pilot cities for"new consumption" are using the first batch of 550 million yuan in special funds to promote the construction of more than 190 projects, which will cultivate new consumption growth points.
With the thickness of the family foundation to build a solid base, with the vitality of culture to broaden the field, with the breadth of integration to nurture the ecosystem. Striving forward into the 15th Five-Year Plan, following the direction charted by General Secretary Xi Jinping, Shandong will adhere to coordinated efforts in policy-driven development, business format innovation, scenario cultivation, and brand promotion, and on expanding domestic demand and boosting consumption, will submit its Qilu answer sheet of"taking the lead, shouldering the heavy burden."

Herdsmen on the snow-covered plateau can now have home appliances purchased online delivered to their doorsteps with postage paid, and agricultural products from north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are shipped across the country via railway trunk lines. In recent years, China's modern logistics operation system has been continuously improved, and logistics efficiency has been steadily enhanced. Every step in reducing logistics costs and improving efficiency bears on the quality of high-quality development of the economy and society.
Reducing the logistics cost of the whole society is, in essence, improving the efficiency of the national economic cycle.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that logistics is the "meridians and collaterals" of the real economy, connecting production and consumption, domestic trade and foreign trade; it is necessary to effectively reduce the logistics cost of the whole society, enhance the core competitiveness of industries, and improve the efficiency of economic operation.
Reducing the logistics cost of the whole society is an important measure for improving the efficiency of economic operation, and moreover a strategic task for smoothing the circulation of the national economy. Viewed from social reproduction, production, distribution, circulation, and consumption are interlinked and closely connected (环环相扣, huan huan xiang kou - "ring, ring; link, link"), and circulation is the intermediate link connecting production and consumption; circulation efficiency determines the operational efficiency of social reproduction. When logistics costs come down, it is equivalent to "squeezing" out profits for the real economy and "dredging" key links for the circulation of the national economy; in essence, it improves the efficiency of the national economic cycle and raises total factor productivity.
For a super-large economy like ours with a population of more than 1.4 billion and an economic aggregate of more than 140 trillion yuan, every 0.1 percentage point reduction in the ratio of total social logistics costs to GDP means savings of more than 100 billion yuan. Cost reduction is not simply lowering transport prices, nor is it compressing the reasonable profits of logistics enterprises or affecting the income of industry practitioners; rather, it is to rely on weaving networks, adjusting structures, and promoting reform to improve the efficiency of the entire logistics chain.
The results of logistics efficiency improvement continue to manifest themselves
With the joint efforts of all parties, the results of logistics efficiency improvement continue to manifest themselves.
A ratio curve has been gradually trending downward. In 2025, the ratio of total social logistics costs to GDP fell to 13.9%, dropping below 14% for the first time, marking the best level since statistics began, down 0.8 percentage points from the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan" period. In the first half of this year, this ratio remained at 13.9%, down 0.1 percentage points from both the first quarter and the same period of the previous year.
"Hard construction" and "soft connectivity" have been further improved. The completion rate of the main framework of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network with "6 axes, 7 corridors, and 8 channels" has exceeded 90%, and hardened roads have reached 95% of natural villages and village groups with relatively large population sizes. A total of 181 national logistics hubs and 105 national backbone cold-chain logistics bases now cover all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, with more than 2,700 logistics parks above the designated scale. In November 2025, the implementation plan for open and interconnected logistics data was issued, and the first list for sharing and opening logistics public data was released. In May this year, a multimodal transport tackling campaign was launched, aiming to use about 5 years to promote the upgrading of multimodal transport functions at approximately 1,000 major freight nodes. In the first 8 months of this year, national railway container rail-water intermodal transport volume grew by 8.6%, and rail-road intermodal transport volume grew by 65.5%.
Residents' lives, enterprise production, and economic operation have received strong guarantees. More convenient logistics services have helped improve residents' quality of life. In 2025, the average full-process delivery time for express delivery services was shortened to 51.22 hours, a year-on-year reduction of 2.66 hours; China has built the world's largest delivery network with the most beneficiaries, and village-level integrated delivery service stations now cover 80% of established administrative villages. More efficient supply chain services have helped promote the transformation and upgrading of enterprises. In the first half of this year, the total logistics volume of high-tech manufacturing and digital products manufacturing grew by 13.3% and 12.3%, respectively. More stable resource supply has supported the smooth operation of the national economy. The main corridors of "transporting coal from west to east," "transporting coal from north to south," and "transporting grain from north to south" operate efficiently; in the first 8 months of this year, national railways shipped 1.389 billion tons of coal, of which 928 million tons was coal for power generation, and coal stocks at power plants directly supplied remain at a relatively high level; national railway freight volumes for grain, chemicals, and textiles grew by 9.9%, 5.5%, and 21.7% year on year, respectively.
Digital-intelligent, green, safe, and resilient development is leading the industry toward new and better directions. Digitalization, intelligence, and greening have never been an "additional cost" for logistics, but rather a dual "dividend" that simultaneously produces efficiency and resilience. In high-frequency transport scenarios, the full life-cycle cost of new-energy heavy trucks has already fallen below that of traditional fuel heavy trucks, and they are being promoted at an accelerating pace. Open corridors are upgrading from "lines for transporting goods" to "networks for organizing industries." In the first 8 months of this year, China-Europe freight trains operated 14,842 trips, up 15.9% year on year, with cumulative trips over the past 10 years exceeding 130,000, reaching 236 cities in 26 European countries; in the first half of the year, international air route cargo and mail transport volume reached 2.32 million tons, up 13.9% year on year; container liner routes now connect more than 100 countries and regions, and port cargo throughput and container throughput have ranked first in the world for many consecutive years.
The space for reducing logistics costs and improving efficiency over the next 5 years remains enormous
Over the next 5 years, the space for China's logistics cost reduction and efficiency improvement remains enormous. The outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan has made arrangements for improving the national logistics hub network, advancing the "single bill system" and "single container system," and rail-water intermodal transport. In August this year, with the consent of the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for the Construction of the Logistics Network."
Looking to the future, logistics is presenting three trend-based transformations: facilities moving from single-point efficiency to whole-network smooth connectivity, models moving from factor-driven to innovation-driven, and goals moving from efficiency-first to placing equal emphasis on efficiency and resilience. The space for cost reduction and efficiency improvement is shifting from "facility layout" to "organizational innovation," which is the projection of the transformation of development mode onto the logistics field.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical window for the innovative development of modern logistics. The "Implementation Plan for the Construction of the Logistics Network" clearly proposes that by 2030, the ratio of total social logistics costs to GDP will fall to 13.1%, down 0.8 percentage points from the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, which will effectively promote "close synergy between hubs and industries, internal and external connectivity of corridors and networks, green and intelligent facilities and equipment, and full connectivity of rules and information across all domains."
The logistics network is organically composed of hub nodes, backbone corridors, equipment and carriers, rules and standards, information and data, etc., and is a composite infrastructure system and comprehensive service network supporting the efficient flow of goods and resources across the whole society. To build this network well, it is necessary to coordinate the "main arteries" and the "microcirculation," "hard construction" and"soft connectivity," and"domestic circulation" and"external connectivity," promoting network-based operation and collaborative cost reduction; this is the key measure for reducing logistics costs during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.
The implementation plan has deployed relevant key construction tasks.
First, hub networking. Improve the quality and efficiency of network-based operation of important logistics hubs, give play to the radiating and driving role of logistics hubs, make hubs the "central heart" for organizing regional logistics, so that a single consignment of goods entering the network from any hub can flow efficiently across the entire network, and regional industries can "borrow the network to get on the road" nearby.
Second, corridor reinforcement. Improve domestic backbone logistics corridors, make corridors the "main arteries" through which goods surge and flow. Improve the multimodal transport and collection-and-distribution transport systems, so that more bulk cargo and medium-and long-distance transport go by rail and by water, bringing down structural costs.
Third, smoothing urban and rural areas. Enhance the functions of urban logistics facilities, improve rural logistics facilities, improve warehousing facilities for important materials and emergency logistics facilities, so that industrial products go to the countryside more smoothly, agricultural products enter cities more conveniently, and urban-rural circulation is further smoothed.
Fourth, weaving a global network. Consolidate the domestic support for international logistics, strengthen the foundation for international logistics service guarantees, so that "Made in China" can reach the world more quickly, and also make industrial and supply chains safer and more resilient.
Fifth, digital-intelligent and green empowerment. Accelerate the digital-intelligent transformation and upgrading of logistics facilities and equipment, promote green facilities and equipment, and develop and apply new types of logistics equipment.
Sixth, information sharing. When hardware forms a network, data must further activate the network; information and data are a cost-reduction path with small investment and quick results. Promote the standardization and normalization of logistics information, expand the interconnection, sharing, and opening of logistics information, so that goods can achieve "one-time entrustment, one document to the end."
The construction of the logistics network is a systematic project; it is necessary to adhere to the combination of an effective market and a capable government, rely on market mechanisms to stimulate innovation and cultivate vitality, rely on policy guidance to unblock bottlenecks and deepen reform, so that the logistics network is both built quickly and operates flexibly.
When the meridians and collaterals are unobstructed, qi and blood are abundant. The password to the transformation of logistics efficiency, in the final analysis, lies in interconnection into networks and network-based operation. As the construction of the logistics network fully unfolds during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, more goods will reach rivers and seas, more parcels will cross snow-capped plateaus, and the quality of China's high-quality development will certainly be even more substantial.

The two sides of the Strait are one family, and Fujian and Taiwan are kin among kin.
In September 2023, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Fujian in Exploring a New Path for Cross-Strait Integrated Development and Building a Demonstration Zone for Cross-Strait Integrated Development" was released. In October 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping, during his inspection tour in Fujian, emphasized the need to "take greater strides in exploring a new path for cross-Strait integrated development" and to"build well the demonstration zone for cross-Strait integrated development".
Over the past three years, tangible changes have occurred right around us: relevant departments of central Party and state organs have formulated and issued a series of supporting documents; Fujian has released five batches of 74 policy measures promoting Fujian-Taiwan integration, organized the implementation of 206 key projects for Fujian-Taiwan integrated development, with a total investment exceeding 1.3 trillion yuan; the"Xiamen-Kinmen same-city living circle" and"Fuzhou-Matsu same-city living circle" are being solidly advanced, the policy system for equal treatment of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises has become more complete, the convenience of Fujian-Taiwan personnel exchanges, trade, and investment has markedly improved, and Fujian-Taiwan exchanges and cooperation have expanded toward broader fields and deeper levels...Promoting integration through connectivity, promoting integration through benefits, promoting integration through kinship—the construction of the demonstration zone for cross-Strait integrated development has achieved phased progress.
Promoting integration through connectivity, exploring the path of connecting everything that should be connected.
In Xiamen, Fujian, speeding along the airport expressway toward Dadeng Island, one can soon see the iconic roof of Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport—triple layered flying eaves, stacked one upon another, resembling the swallow-tail ridges of southern Fujian grand traditional houses, blending elements of the common roots of both sides of the Strait into steel and concrete.
Walking deeper into the terminal building, "Everyone, look up." Liao Zhicheng, an airport construction engineer with Xiamen Xiangle Group Co., Ltd., pointed at the dome. This enormous"dragon boat" shape, composed of 602 wood-grain grilles, with 13 strip skylights on each side resembling oars, symbolizes"rowing in the same boat toward a common goal" (同舟竞渡, tong zhou jing du -"same, boat, compete, cross"), symbolizing that compatriots on both sides of the Strait are of one heart and act in unison. The four"blossoming columns" supporting the skylights, inspired by southern Fujian overseas Chinese hometown culture, symbolize"Fujian and Taiwan share the same origin, and all seas share the same root".
"Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport will be put into operation at the end of this year, and reserved planning has already been made for a dedicated terminal building site for our Kinmen compatriots."Liao Zhicheng said,"In the future, with the completion of the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge (Kinmen section),, driving from Kinmen to the airport will take just 10 minutes."Kinmen compatriots are full of expectation about this."Once the two major projects are put into operation, Kinmen will completely break its pattern of being an isolated island."Li Zhufeng, former magistrate of Kinmen County, said.
Three-dimensional passageways are accelerating their formation, and the arteries of integration are becoming smoother. The four"mini-three-links"passenger routes—Xiamen to Kinmen, Quanzhou to Kinmen, Fuzhou Mawei to Matsu, and Lianjiang Huangqi to Matsu—have increased their sailing frequency; in the first eight months of this year, 1.5836 million cross-Strait passengers traveled via the"mini-three-links",a year-on-year increase of 25.34%;the Xiamen-Kinmen Bridge(Xiamen section),,,the Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport,,and the second-phase expansion project of Fuzhou Changle International Airport are being accelerated, and the function of the land-sea-air three-dimensional comprehensive gateway hub for Taiwan is becoming increasingly prominent.
Over the past three years, Fujian has highlighted promoting integration through connectivity, continuously improving the"new four links"of unimpeded cross-Strait economic and trade cooperation, infrastructure connectivity, energy and resource interconnection, and industry standard commonality. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the"mini-three-links"passenger routes. From the"mini-three-links"to the"small four links"(connecting water, electricity, gas, and bridges between Fujian's coast and Kinmen and Matsu)to the"new four links",Fujian is making steady progress, striving to explore more paths toward"connecting everything that should be connected".
The data jumping on the water supply pumping station screens tell of warmth crossing the Strait. At Fujian Water Investment Group Jin-Jin Water Supply Co., Ltd., located in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, electronic screens update in real time figures such as"instantaneous flow rate"and"cumulative water supply volume".Since the beginning of this year, an average of approximately 22,000 tons of clean water has crossed the Strait directly to Kinmen each day.
Once, Kinmen suffered greatly from water shortages—"even the mung bean soup we drank was salty";today, Fujian's high-quality water sources have become the core pillar of Kinmen's water supply system. Hong Jiaxing, general manager of Fujian Water Investment Group Jin-Jin Water Supply Co., Ltd., introduced that at present, Fujian's water supply to Kinmen already accounts for 87% of the daily total water supply of Kinmen's waterworks, and the water quality qualification rate has remained stably at 100% year-round. The water supply has also greatly alleviated the pressure of over-extraction of groundwater in Kinmen, reducing Kinmen's residential water dependence on groundwater from its historical peak of 68% to 0.3%.
Today, the Xiamen-Kinmen gas connection project's Dadeng LNG gas source station has completed completion acceptance, Xiamen's Wangzhan substation and Yingbin substation are now capable of providing power supply, and the mainland-side advance section of the second phase project of Fuzhou's water supply to Matsu has completed construction.
Fujian continues to support Taiwan-funded enterprises in Fujian to participate in cross-Strait industrial chain and supply chain cooperation, enabling Taiwan-funded enterprises to have a stage for their work, opportunities for development, and prospects for growth.
Pineapple cakes, nougat, sun cakes...On the product packaging of Xiamen Taizu Food Co., Ltd., the"Xiamen Time-Honored Brand"mark is printed."A time-honored brand is an enterprise's intangible asset."Cai Jinyu, general manager of Xiamen Taizu Food Co., Ltd., said that the enterprise entered Xiamen from Kinmen in 2006 and was awarded the"Xiamen Time-Honored Brand"in 2023, enhancing its market recognition.
Today, more than 10 Taiwan-funded enterprises and enterprises from the Kinmen and Matsu regions have been recognized as provincial and municipal"time-honored brands";8 Taiwan-funded enterprises in Fujian have been listed on the A-share market; the"Taiwan Capital Board"has cumulatively listed and displayed 5,658 Taiwan-funded enterprises; and the mainland's first cross-Strait industrial investment fund, initiated by Taiwan businessmen with a scale of 786 million yuan, has also been established.
The first local regulation on Taiwan affairs on the mainland with the theme of promoting cross-Strait standard commonality, the"Regulations of Fujian Province on Promoting Cross-Strait Standard Commonality",has been formulated;the mainland's first cross-Strait standard commonality information and service platform has been built;cumulatively, 378 cross-Strait common standards have been released...Industry standards are gradually becoming common, and integration efficiency is getting higher and higher.
Promoting integration through benefits, cultivating fertile soil for peaceful living and happy work.
Around Spring Festival, the Taiwan compatriot apartment building in Guixi Community, Jin'an District, Fuzhou City, was filled with the warmth of home.
Long tables had been set up early, and residents brought their signature dishes."My wife and I carefully prepared steamed oysters and cola chicken wings; neighbors from both sides of the Strait gathered around the hot pot together, lively and warm."Qiu Binping, a young Taiwanese, is among the happily married newlyweds(新婚燕尔, xin hun yan er -"new, marriage, swallow, swallow"),having formed a sweet cross-Strait marriage family with his wife. The Taiwan compatriot apartment's"move-in-with-just-your-luggage"arrangement solved his housing problem.
Guixi Community is Fuzhou's first cross-Strait integrated demonstration community, having cumulatively housed more than 300 households and over 600 Taiwan compatriots. At the"Both Sides of the Strait Reunion Together"event, Fuzhou taro paste, Buddha jumps over the wall, Taiwan sausages, and other dishes shared the same table with fragrant aromas;residents from both sides of the Strait took seats one after another, warmly exchanging greetings, and laughter and cheerful voices kept coming from the scene.
Crossing the Strait, coming to the mainland, only with a settled home can one feel at ease.
"Fuzhou has taken the lead in building a multi-level housing security system for Taiwan compatriots comprising'free transitional housing + public rental housing + price-fixed guaranteed housing',and also provides free accommodation during the job-seeking transition period for young Taiwanese coming to Fuzhou for employment or entrepreneurship, greatly reducing Taiwan compatriots' housing expenditures."A relevant person in charge of the Fuzhou Municipal Taiwan Affairs Office introduced.
At the Pingtan Liang'an Xinxiao residential community, the scene is lush and full of green life(绿意盎然, lv yi ang ran -"green, meaning, abundant, abundant"),elegant and tidy. Here, jointly designed and constructed by teams from both sides of the Strait, a Taiwan property management model has been introduced to create a living environment and life experience familiar to Taiwan compatriots."The environment here is beautiful and life is comfortable;my husband and I both like it very much, and we plan to spend our retirement here."Ms. Wang, a Taiwan compatriot homeowner, said.
The convenience of life cannot be separated from the strong support of institutional guarantees. Not far away, at the Taiwan Compatriots and Taiwan-Funded Enterprises Service Center of the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Area, words on the wall make Taiwan compatriots feel particularly warm:"Treat Taiwan compatriots with equal fairness(一视同仁, yi shi tong ren -"one, look, same, person"),and serve Taiwan compatriots the way we serve our mainland compatriots".
"The center has integrated 8 major categories and 236 items of Taiwan-related administrative approval and government service matters, allowing Taiwan compatriots to'enter one door and handle everything'. To make Taiwan compatriots' experience even better, the center has also specially hired Taiwan compatriot service specialists."Zhang Yuping, a relevant person in charge of the center, introduced.
Besides settling down, one must also find happiness in work. Can a vocational skill qualification certificate obtained in Taiwan still be used upon arriving on the mainland?
"Look, this is my electrician vocational qualification certificate obtained on the mainland. It was directly exchanged through the comparison and recognition service, using the corresponding qualification from the Taiwan region."Wang Kuifeng, a post-80s native of Taitung County, said. At present, Fujian has published 72 items of Taiwan regional vocational skill qualification programs that can be directly recognized, and has cumulatively issued more than 6,300 recognition certificates to Taiwan compatriots.
Let data run more, and let Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises run less. Since its launch in 2024, the digital"First Home"service platform for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises has provided Taiwan compatriots with 263 high-frequency Taiwan-related government service items, including"efficiently handling one matter",and has cumulatively handled more than 22,000 government service matters for Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises, basically achieving"accessing all information through a single online platform"(一网通查, yi wang tong cha -"one, net, connect, check")and"handling everything online across the entire network".
To protect the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan-funded enterprises, public legal service centers for Taiwan-related matters have been established in Fuzhou, Xiamen, Pingtan, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and other places, cumulatively providing verification and comparison of more than 8,000 notarized documents from Taiwan, and handling more than 11,000 Taiwan-related legal consultations and verifications, and through services such as"mediation + arbitration + litigation",effectively reducing the cost of rights protection for Taiwan compatriots and improving the quality and efficiency of dispute resolution.
Promoting integration across the"entire region"makes the vision of integrated development broader and its pattern grander.
Xiamen and Kinmen face each other"door to door",and the construction of the"same-city living circle"has achieved remarkable results."Swipe the card, scan the face, take the boat from the dock to Gulangyu—the treatment is exactly the same as that of Xiamen citizens."Yang Yingxiong, a Kinmen compatriot, skillfully used the"Xiamen-Kinmen Same-City Card"."Previously, Kinmen residents didn't know much about mainland medical care;now everyone often comes to Xiamen for ophthalmology and dentistry."
The Fuzhou-Matsu"same-city living circle"is also taking shape at an accelerating pace. Fuzhou has successively released three batches of 30 Fuzhou-Matsu integration measures, covering industry, technology, people's livelihoods, culture, and other fields. The functions of the"Fuzhou-Matsu Same-City Pass"card are constantly being upgraded—with one card, one can enjoy comprehensive convenience services including transportation, cultural tourism and leisure, housing and accommodation, government affairs agency, medical treatment and schooling, financial services, and more.
Promoting integration through kinship, carrying forward the bloodline of shared roots and shared origin.
"I grew up in Taiwan, and I always heard my father's generation say that our Zhou clan's ancestors originated from Anxi, Fujian. Last year, with the help of the China Museum for Fujian-Taiwan Kinship, I found and returned to my ancestral home in Huqiu, Anxi."Zhou Weihua, a young Taiwanese, said.
"Anxi's tea, along with our ancestors, crossed the Strait and took root and grew in Taiwan. People, like tea trees, grow branches from the root system of their ancestral land, and then sprout new buds and leaves. When I stood in the mountain tea garden and saw the common mother plants of tea trees from both sides of the Strait, I instantly understood what it means to share the same roots and the same origin."Zhou Weihua said.
Fujian is the primary ancestral homeland of Taiwan compatriots, and every year, many Taiwan compatriots cross the Strait to return to their old homes to seek their roots and pay homage to their ancestors.
Last July, the China Museum for Fujian-Taiwan Kinship established the Fujian-Taiwan Root-Seeking and Ancestor-Worship Service and Exchange Center, and simultaneously set up six root-seeking liaison stations in Xiamen, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou, covering four categories including first-stop points for Taiwan compatriots entering Fujian, clan relatives and ancestral halls, ancestral temples and ancestral homes, and former residences of Taiwan-related celebrities. This August, the museum awarded plaques to newly established root-seeking liaison stations in Kaohsiung, Pingtung, Taichung, Taipei, and other places, extending root-seeking liaison stations to the Taiwan region for the first time.
Villages with the same name build bridges of connection. Tianyang Village in Xiamen's Tong'an District and four"Tianyang Villages"in Yunlin, Changhua, Tainan, and Pingtung, Taiwan, not only share the same name, but also share the same food flavors and the same marriage customs.
"The Tianyang Village in Tainan has clan kinship ties with our village, and clan relatives come back almost every year together to pay homage to ancestors. The other three same-name villages in Taiwan also interact frequently with us."Chen Shuirang, Party secretary of the village party committee and director of the village committee of Tianyang Village, Tong'an, Xiamen, said that in earlier years, the clan relatives who came to pay homage were older;in recent years, they often bring young people and even children of a few years old,"so that generation after generation can pass it on, letting young people know where their roots are."
As the largest-scale, widest-ranging, and most profoundly influential non-governmental exchange activity across the Strait, the Straits Forum has, since its inception, continuously centered on the theme of"expanding non-governmental exchanges and deepening integrated development",focused on grassroots, youth, culture, economy, and other fields, built a platform for compatriots on both sides of the Strait to exchange, interact, connect hearts, and integrate, cumulatively attracting more than 100,000 Taiwan compatriots to participate.
At the Straits Forum, colorful stories—the Fujian Sharks baseball team formed through joint Fujian-Taiwan teaming, the"Fujian-Taiwan partners"who start businesses hand in hand, Fujian-Taiwan rural construction and renovation teams, cross-Strait marriage families, and others—bear witness to the touching friendship of young people on both sides of the Strait pursuing dreams hand in hand and being of one heart and acting in unison.
In 2024, 2 Taiwanese coaches and 14 Taiwanese athletes participated in the Fujian Sharks baseball team, formed through joint Fujian-Taiwan teaming, and immediately threw themselves into the mainland baseball league. Participating in a national-level sports event in the form of a joint cross-Strait team—this was still the first time. Athletes from both sides of the Strait, spending time together day and night(朝夕相处, zhao xi xiang chu -"morning, evening, together, live")and striving side by side, continuously refreshing Fujian baseball competitive event records.
A few months ago, at the 2026 China Baseball League Finals concluded in Pingtan, the Fujian Sharks baseball team won third place."Everyone loves baseball, and baseball is our common language. The team members exchange skills and make progress together;we are like one family to each other, and the integration has gone quite well."Lin Keqian, coach of the Fujian Sharks baseball team, said.
Youth are the hope of the nation and the future of the nation. Only when young people on both sides of the Strait do well will the future of both sides of the Strait be good.
"Being able to contribute my modest effort to cross-Strait integrated development makes me feel deeply honored."Luo Dingjun, a young Taiwanese whose ancestral home is Quanzhou, Fujian, has married a young woman from the mainland and has lived and worked in Xiamen for many years.
"In my spare time, I serve as a Taiwan compatriot lecturer, sharing stories of cross-Strait integrated development. In the process of integrating into local life, I feel that I am a part of this place."Luo Dingjun said.

This year marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March. While remembering that "unparalleled epic expedition," we must all the more "work together with one heart and mind to walk the new Long March well and open up an even brighter future." This page from today launches a series of commentaries, walking the Long March route, feeling the changes between past and present, in order to carry forward the great Long March spirit and gather hearts and minds for the new journey.
——Editor
"Red flags flutter, military bugles sound, sons of the people, bid farewell to their hometowns..." By the Yudu River in Yudu County, Jiangxi, the situational drama Farewell slowly opens its curtain, recreating the scene of the masses of the old Soviet area seeing off Red Army officers and soldiers as they set out on the expedition.
Standing at the ferry landing and gazing into the distance, tall buildings line both banks of the Yudu River, and the natural moat has become a thoroughfare—the Red Army Bridge, the Long March Bridge, the Rally Bridge, the River-Crossing Bridge, and the Victory Bridge span the river in sequence, and the bridge names strung together read exactly "Red Army Long March Rally River-Crossing Victory."
The gunsmoke has dispersed, and the world has changed. The old revolutionary base area in southern Jiangxi carries forward its red genes, anchoring the confidence of high-quality development with solid work and struggle.
Proceeding from reality in everything, basing oneself on one's own conditions, and acting in accordance with the natural trend.
In the modern agricultural industrial park in Chexi Township, Yudu County, more than 1,700 mu of contiguous selenium-rich vegetable and fruit greenhouses stretch out in an unbroken sweep, and inside the greenhouses newly planted tomato seedlings stand in neat, staggered rows. Duan Changfu, head of the industrial park, said with a smile: "In three months, we expect to produce 3,000 tons of tomatoes, sold directly to the Greater Bay Area!" Walking across the land of southern Jiangxi, row upon row of vegetable greenhouses are like green banks, steadily supporting the happiness of the masses.
Above an altitude of 500 meters, plant tea; from 300 to 500 meters, plant oil-tea camellia; below 300 meters, plant navel oranges; on flat land, develop greenhouse vegetables...Basing itself on its "eight parts mountains, half part water, one part farmland," and squarely facing its "mixed, small, scattered" characteristics, Ganzhou's agricultural industry is transforming from scattered and extensive toward clustered and intensive, forming a distinctive agricultural development pattern of "fruit on the mountains, oil under the forests, vegetables in the fields."
Back then, the Red Army moved through southern Jiangxi, assessing the situation and planning marches and battles based on the actual conditions of the battlefield. Today, this piece of red revolutionary soil is advancing rural revitalization on all fronts—likewise not blindly following trends, not simply copying models, but first seeing clearly "what one has oneself" and then positioning precisely, developing in light of local conditions.
Braving all difficulties and dangers, raising buildings from blank spaces, seeking breakthroughs from weak points.
Stepping into the digital furniture production workshop in Nankang District, Ganzhou, mechanical arms flexibly extend and retract, landing with precision, as pieces of timber undergo precision cutting, sanding, and assembly, they become pieces of exquisite furniture. Starting from a single planing blade, Nankang dared to venture and strived hard, developing into the "Capital of Furniture" with more than 7,000 furniture enterprises and revenue exceeding 290 billion yuan.
In Nankang District's Low-Altitude Economy Industrial Park, a new track for industry is growing vigorously: inside the wind tunnel laboratory, drones roar and soar into the sky; inside standardized workshops, various types of aircraft stand in neat formation...This inland county district, which had no aviation industry foundation whatsoever, has built a specialized park owning the nation's largest contiguous flight airspace, gathering more than 30 upstream and downstream enterprises.
Looking back at those momentous years, the Red Army's four crossings of the Chishui River, its skillful crossing of the Jinsha River, its climbing of snow mountains and crossing of grasslands—these were never a matter of sitting around waiting for heaven's favor, but of blazing a path through layer upon layer of blockades. The expedition spanned mountains and seas, and its spirit has continued a tradition from generation to generation. People of Nankang say, "If we wait until all conditions are mature before acting, then nothing will ever get done." Breaking free of resource constraints, proactively breaking the deadlock, creating something out of nothing and making excellence out of what exists—this is precisely the inheritance and propagation of the Red Army's spirit of charging through passes and seizing strongholds.
To walk the new Long March well, one must dare to set out anew, to move toward the new.
In Ganzhou Economic Development Zone, inside the factory of Haopengyou Technology Company, the "Tianyuan" intelligent ore-sorting machine has its detectors scanning at high speed, accurately identifying and processing about 10,000 pieces of ore per second. "It is completely 'homegrown,' autonomous and controllable!" said He Pengyu, chairman of the company, and this ore-sorting machine sells to more than 30 countries and regions around the world.
Nearby, Fuerte Electronics' 5G fully connected factory operates efficiently, with high-performance permanent magnet materials becoming core components of new-energy vehicles; Guanyin Technology's intelligent computing brain has data surging through it, serving more than 5,000 enterprises across the country...What was once an "industrial depression" is rising as a "highland of science and technology."
General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized: "Each generation has its own Long March, and each generation has its own mission." On the new Long March, every arrival is a new departure. Aiming at frontier science and technology, laying out emerging industries, one must both fight tough battles and dare to gnaw hard bones, and also fight protracted wars and build up momentum for future development. As of the end of 2025, Ganzhou has 1,280 high-tech enterprises, having cumulatively cultivated 165 high-growth science-and-technology enterprises such as unicorns and gazelles.
As night falls, along the Yudu River the first lights of evening are lit, and the Monument to the Departure of the Central Red Army on the Long March stands tall and majestic. Back then, the Red Army set out from here, marching toward rebirth. More than 90 years later, the old revolutionary base area in southern Jiangxi is carrying forward the Long March spirit, inheriting the red bloodline, and setting out on a new journey once again.

China's development is rooted in innovation, and what it brings to the world is not "impact" but opportunity, not "squeezing out" but empowerment.
Recently, Chinese brands in the consumer electronics sector have continued to capture the world's attention.
In early September, at the Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin consumer electronics fair, from humanoid robots moving toward application scenarios to smart-home products capable of proactive sensing and collaborative service, Chinese brands became the focus of the entire venue.
Not long ago, foldable-screen phones ushered in a "super launch week." Huawei, Xiaomi, and Apple each released their flagship products within 72 hours, with leading Chinese and foreign brands competing in the same category, sparking widespread discussion.
Such scenes are appearing more and more frequently. Once, many of our fields had thin foundations and late starts, with advanced technology, standard-setting discourse power, and even product creativity all lagging behind international peers, and we could only begin by following and imitating from the rear, catching up bit by bit. Today, artificial intelligence, new energy, robotics, rocket recovery... China has achieved running alongside or even leading in field after field, and has in some "no-man's-lands" and"unclimbed peaks" become a pioneer and definer.
The attainment of breakthroughs stems from the fact that scientific and technological innovation is the result of long-term accumulation and preparation. Taking the mobile phone industry as an example, what supports Chinese brands in moving toward the high-end market is, in the final analysis, the "black technology" that others do not have while we do. Breaking out from the bottom of the industrial chain and value chain is a difficult against-the-wind growth, and also a continuous forging of brand competitiveness and technological "moats."
From a single sprout breaking through the soil to a flourishing scene of diverse and thriving growth, the surging of innovation vitality cannot be separated from good soil and environment.
The numbers are very intuitive. Not long ago, the World Intellectual Property Organization released the "2026 Global Innovation Index" report on the top 100 innovation clusters, and China had 25 of the world's top 100 innovation clusters, with the number of listed clusters ranking first worldwide for the fourth consecutive year, and the "Shenzhen–Hong Kong–Guangzhou" cluster ranking first for the second consecutive year. As the cornerstone of the national innovation ecosystem, the vigorous development of regional innovation clusters reflects the steady improvement of China's scientific and technological innovation strength.
Looking at strategic guidance, scientific and technological innovation is placed in a prominent position in modernization efforts, new quality productive forces are developed in light of local conditions, and policy supply is continuously strengthened; looking at market advantages, the super-large-scale market is open and active, with healthy interaction between supply and demand, providing broad application scenarios for the iteration of new technologies and the landing of new products; looking at the demographic dividend, the virtuous cycle of education, science and technology, and talent is smoothed, and the talent force continues to leap toward a reasonable structure and excellent quality. These soil-nurturing measures breed the spark of innovation and creation and release the momentum of high-quality development.
Understanding the deep logic of China's innovative development, those biases no longer hold water. For some time now, politicians and media in some countries have been keen to hype so-called "China Shock 2.0," attributing China's progress in high-end manufacturing to industrial subsidies, thereby manufacturing anxiety. In fact, as some international figures have said, China is "the world's hardest-core gym." China's development is rooted in innovation, and what it brings to the world is not "impact" but opportunity, not "squeezing out" but empowerment.
The headquarters of Germany's Volkswagen in Wolfsburg has adjusted its R&D approach by referencing the model of its Hefei R&D center in China; on the global ranking of weekly calls to large AI models, Chinese large models have ranked first for 20 consecutive weeks... Whether it is creating open market opportunities and investment opportunities, or providing more accessible advanced technology and more inclusive achievements, China's scientific and technological progress and industrial upgrading have notable radiating and driving effects.
With regard to scientific and technological innovation, China still faces some problems and challenges, among them deep-seated and structural contradictions. From governance actors to micro-level entities, they are maintaining sobriety and resolve, committed to resolving the "growing pains" in the course of development.
Situated at the historic intersection of the world's new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation with our country's transformation of the development model, insisting on moving toward the new, concentrating efforts on building a birthplace for global scientific and technological innovation, this hot land of development that is China will surely astonish the world time and again.

Keywords Barrier-free environment
Event At the Mangshan Wuzhifeng tourist area in Chenzhou, Hunan, a tourist in a wheelchair climbed to enjoy the scenery with the help of barrier-free facilities such as lifts, stair-climbing machines, and gentle ramps. He sighed: "In the past, I wouldn't have dared to even think about this."
Three years since the implementation of the Law on the Construction of Barrier-Free Environments, from the renewal of concepts to the optimization of systems and then to the improvement of facilities, the force of the rule of law has been continuously transformed into tangible results of construction, and more and more people with disabilities are stepping out of their homes and embracing a broader world.
Commentary
Crossing the road, traffic lights now have voice reminders; reading medicine instructions, there are now large-print and Braille versions; using map apps, there is now wheelchair navigation functionality... These real, tangible changes are gradually expanding the radius of life for people with disabilities.
The total number of people with disabilities in China exceeds 85 million, involving 260 million family members, but problems such as occupied ramps, "severed" tactile paving, and hard-to-find accessible restrooms remain quite prominent, with some people with disabilities preferring "not to go out if they can help it."
Change begins with seeing the real needs of people. "Ensuring that persons with disabilities and elderly persons can participate in and integrate into social life equally, fully, and conveniently, and promoting all members of society to share in the fruits of economic and social development" is both the legislative purpose of the Law on the Construction of Barrier-Free Environments and a marker of a society's level of civilization.
To translate rights into reality, various mechanisms need to be interlinked and closely connected (环环相扣, huan huan xiang kou - "ring, ring, link, together") and exert force in the same direction. Market regulation, drug administration, industry and information technology, and other departments coordinate and work in tandem, from certification of barrier-free environments to the elder-friendly adaptation of medicine instructions, and then to bridging the "digital divide," turning legal provisions into tangible, perceivable convenience. Procuratorial organs in many localities have launched public interest litigation in the field of barrier-free environment construction, using judicial supervision to push forward the rectification of problems. Starting from one small and detailed matter (具体而微, ju ti er wei - "concrete, and, tiny") after another, the rigidity of the rule of law effectively safeguards the warmth of people's livelihoods.
Today, the construction of barrier-free environments benefits more from"technological availability." In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, some subway lines have launched digital human sign language broadcasts to help hearing-impaired people better grasp travel information; in Suzhou, Jiangsu, intelligent guide dogs have entered schools for the blind and deaf, capable of identifying obstacles and autonomously planning routes; in Beijing's Yizhuang area, quadruped robots assist visually impaired people in completing obstacle challenges in open environments... Technology has become an important supporting force for barrier-free travel.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" for the Protection and Development of Persons with Disabilities proposes"deepening the innovative application of technology in disability assistance" and deploys the"Special Action for Technology-Assisted Disability Services." Driven by scenarios, promoting the implementation of outcomes, the cultivation of industries, and making the dividends of technology more inclusive will help create a beautiful digital and intelligent life for the disabled community.
It must also be recognized that the environment also needs careful maintenance. The construction of barrier-free environments must never become a case of"emphasizing construction but neglecting management." Ramps that are too steep, bicycles parked on tactile paving, accessible restroom handrails that are not secure... Facing the public's"complaints"and"fault-finding," one should dare to face them squarely andid respond actively. By coordinating the entire chain with systematic thinking, urging work improvement through real-world assessments, and driving facility optimization through effective supervision, can a healthy ecosystem for development be formed.
Barrier-free access concerns hardware, but also concerns mindsets. Traveling with large luggage, pushing a stroller with a baby, suffering from illness or injury, going out while pregnant... In fact, everyone has the possibility of needing barrier-free facilities at some point. With a little more empathy, a little more care, and active participation in joint construction and joint protection, what will benefit is every person and every family.
"The essence of modernization is the modernization of people." By creating more convenient facilities, implementing more complete measures, and fostering a more inclusive mindset, the quality of life for people with disabilities will continue to improve, and our society will become even warmer.
Return to TopAutumn grain production is a key link in firmly holding the "Chinese rice bowl" in our own hands. At present, in most parts of China, autumn grain has entered the stage of maturity and concentrated harvesting. All localities are seizing the fine weather, scientifically deploying agricultural machinery forces, carrying out harvesting and drying operations, and making every effort to do a good job of rushing to harvest grain, ensuring that all harvested grain is safely stored (颗粒归仓, ke li gui cang - "grain, return, warehouse").
This is exactly:
The fertile fields don autumn attire,
Everywhere busy harvesting rice.
Not letting the toil of cultivation go unrewarded,
Year after year celebrating abundant harvests.

When the call came in the evening that the supply would be cut off, within half an hour the search for available supplies was in place, and that very day the special welding rods entered the site and construction restarted... This scene, which took place at the Jilin Liaoyuan Tianying wind-solar-storage-hydrogen-ammonia-methanol integration project, was described by the enterprise's person in charge as "a precise emergency rescue."
The single character "urgent" reflects the enterprise's anxiety; the rapid response, in turn, reflects the efficacy of governance. But what deserves deeper reflection than the "speed" itself is: why was it possible to be this fast?
The answer lies in the institutions. The closed-loop mechanism for enterprise appeals — submission, response, coordinated handling, and feedback — established by the Jilin Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, together with the full-coverage guarantee-and-service system at the three levels of province, city, and county, has been in continuous operation for many years. Under normal circumstances this mechanism keeps a low profile and acts in a subtle, inconspicuous manner (不显山不露水, bu xian shan bu lu shui - "not show mountain, not reveal water"), so much so that enterprises barely feel its existence; but once a low-probability risk such as a supply cutoff strikes, it immediately springs into action, rapidly pooling together scattered resources.
This brings to mind a question that is often overlooked: when evaluating the business environment, more attention is paid to how many days approval has been sped up, or how much paperwork has been reduced. These things are certainly important, but what truly reveals the quality of a locality's business environment is this: "when times are smooth, there is convenience; when times are adverse, there is a safety net." When things are experiencing smooth sailing and favorable conditions (顺风顺水, shun feng shun shui - "smooth wind, smooth water"), the feelings of enterprises toward whether policies are good are muted; but when a single special welding rod jams the construction rhythm of more than 2,000 people, whether help can be provided in time — that is when the enterprise's feeling becomes far more direct and profound.
The value of institutions lies precisely here: forming a set of predictable, replicable, and traceable standard procedures. A healthy economic ecosystem must take all aspects into consideration and coordinate them effectively (统筹兼顾, tong chou jian gu - "coordinate overall, take into account, balance") between routine operations and emergency response. From equipment coordination, to raw material supply assurance, to factor-of-production guarantees, services for enterprises are evolving from "point-based relief" toward "chain-based escorting." Without a systematic service network that reaches down to the front line of production, a single link "dropping the chain" in one segment could throw off the production rhythm of the entire industrial chain.
In this sense, resolving the supply-cutoff crisis in half an hour was both a real-world combat test and a silent reminder. To promote industrial development, one cannot merely talk about concepts, nor can one only think about expanding the footprint; what matters more is ensuring that every project that takes root and becomes firmly established (落地生根, luo di sheng gen - "fall to ground, grow roots") has "someone to turn to when problems arise," and moreover that help comes "quickly and thoroughly." Only when institutional advantages are converted into tangible gains for enterprises can the business environment be said to truly stand firm. At the moment the welding sparks flickered back to life, what lit up was not merely a pipeline, but also the confidence of investors in this locality.

Having engaged in music education for many years, I have often seen scenes like this: a child of only a few years old performs pieces that are fast and difficult, with the entire musical expression relying on exaggerated head-and-body swaying. Speed and difficulty are equated with superb technique, and exaggerated bodily gestures are taken for musical expression. Is this a manifestation of beauty? This is probably worth questioning.
Then, where exactly does the beauty of music come from?
Cultivating aesthetic sensibility requires slow, patient effort. Artistic cultivation can hardly rely on attempting to achieve results too hastily (拔苗速成, ba miao su cheng - "pull, seedling, fast, succeed"), for it requires the slow simmering of time. Yet, parents often hope their children can save time in practicing the piano, treating it like meeting an assessment target, striving to pass Grade Eight or even Grade Ten by elementary school. Quite a few eleven-or-twelve-year-old children, upon receiving the certificate, feel feeling greatly relieved (如释重负, ru shi zhong fu - "as, release, heavy, burden"), and the piano from then on is left idle in a corner. Certificate after certificate is obtained, technique seems passable, but aesthetic sensibility is not meeting expectations (不如人意, bu ru ren yi - "not, enter, people, intention").
"Slow" is not laziness, still less indulgence; it is repeated washing and refinement over and over again, with every wrong note not let go, and every phrase's rhythm corrected one by one. A piece one hoped to finish in a week may be polished for a whole month. Seemingly slow, yet in truth every repetition is sinking technique down into instinct. Grinding away impetuosity in time — this is the true gift of music education.
Accumulating through "slowness" is not unique to music. In learning calligraphy, one first practices strokes — dot, horizontal, left-falling, right-falling — then learns one script as an entry point, whether regular script or clerical script, establishing the foundation firmly, and only finally can one write other scripts with individual character. In reading, Zhu Xi said in the Instructions for Children (Tongmeng Xuzhi): "One must not err on a single character, must not omit a single character, must not add a single character, must not invert a single character, must not memorize by rote with strained effort; one merely needs to recite it aloud many times, and naturally it will roll off the tongue, not forgotten for a long time." Music, calligraphy, reading — the principle is the same — time will naturally return sweetness.
The accumulation of technique does not automatically transform into aesthetic sensibility. From accumulation to expression, one more "transformation" (hua) of metamorphosis is needed. Hegel held that "music is the art of the heart/mood." The ancient Chinese pursuit of the "realm of transformation" (huajing) is exactly this same principle. The "transformation" in learning music is precisely such a process of advancement, letting technique, emotion, and life experience merge into one, gradually reaching a state of performing a task with ease and skill (游刃有余, you ren you yu - "swim, blade, have, surplus"). At this realm, the performer no longer feels "I am playing," which is utterly distinct from performance that remains on the surface. Some teachers and parents deliberately teach children to imitate musicians' gestures and facial expressions, which is in fact acting in a way that leads to the opposite of the goal (南辕北辙, nan yuan bei che - "south, chariot, north, cart").
The bodily language of a musician on stage is precisely the result of "transformation": after ten or even several decades of refinement, their understanding of technique, works, and life accumulates to a certain degree, and inner passion and consummate skill merge into one, so that in every movement and gesture (举手投足, ju shou tou zu - "lift, hand, throw, foot") it overflows involuntarily. This originates from genuine life experience and cannot be obtained through imitation. What education must do is not to replicate the postures on stage, but to practice teaching students according to their individual abilities (因材施教, yin cai shi jiao - "according to, talent, apply, teach"), letting every child come to know music at their own pace. Only thus can music cease to be merely a skill of the hands and become a voice of the heart.
When the onset of romantic feelings (情窦初开, qing dou chu kai - "emotion, bud, first, open") first stirs, savoring The Butterfly Lovers anew yields several more layers of flavor; when one has gone through twists and turns, listening again to the Pathétique Sonata makes resistance no longer an abstract word; once a sense of national responsibility awakens, every note of the Yellow River Cantata seems to knock upon the heart. These feelings all require the infiltration of time and the digestion of life experience; they cannot be rushed, nor can they be taught. First know the sound, then form the resonance — the interpretation of music then flows naturally of itself.
Beauty is generated in the accumulation of temporality and the perception of processuality, ultimately arriving at a common feeling of life itself. In the final analysis, what music education must cultivate is aesthetic sensibility, and the cultivation of aesthetic sensibility always takes place within the process.
When a child, while practicing the piano, listens with concentrating with one's whole attention (全神贯注, quan shen guan zhu - "entire, spirit, pierce, concentrate") to every timbral nuance beneath the fingertips, the body breathing and rising and falling along with it, the whole mind-and-body merging with the sound, attention completely immersed in the notes of the present moment — this state of total absorption is precisely the clarity of mind-and-body, in which the connections between the performer and oneself, with others, and with all things are organically established. Beauty is not stamped onto certificates; it lives in that instant when a person truly encounters art.
Art education is a cause that nourishes the heart-mind and cultivates human sensibilities. Accumulate with slowness, steep with transformation, and beauty generates itself. Sustained aesthetic education that soaks mind and body requires the joint guardianship of educators and families. Zhu Guangqian wrote in On Beauty (Tan Mei): "Walk slowly, and admire!" The significance of aesthetic education lies precisely herein — in slowness, to guard and cultivate people's capacity for feeling and expression.

Logistics and Transport
He Xiaoman, gold medal winner in the Rail Vehicle Technology category—
Repeated practice, leaving no millimeter-level error unaddressed
People's Daily reporter Meng Haiying
"I worked hard for a long time, and in the end won the gold medal. I feel very fortunate." Reviewing her preparation and competition experience, He Xiaoman said. In this competition, she not only won the gold medal in the Rail Vehicle Technology category, but also achieved the highest score of this competition, winning the Albert Vidal Award.
In 2024, He Xiaoman enrolled in Changchun Digital Science and Technology Vocational College, and subsequently signed up for the gold-medal competition class for the Rail Vehicle Technology event. This event has mostly male contestants; physical fitness and strength are the shortcomings of female contestants.
"At the beginning, my strength was insufficient, and it was hard to ensure the stability of the cover plate installation. My coach helped me adjust my standing posture, seek techniques for exerting force, repeatedly disassemble and reassemble, and at the same time daily add some upper-limb strength training, and finally solved this difficulty." He Xiaoman said.
During the preparation period, He Xiaoman conducted over 14 hours of high-intensity training every day. She entered the training base at 7 a.m. and often trained until late at night; even in the bitter cold of Changchun, Jilin, where temperatures dropped below minus 20 degrees Celsius, her training never stopped. "Repeating the same operations hundreds and thousands of times can sometimes easily wear away one's concentration, so I needed to be especially meticulous, treating every practical operation as an opportunity to improve myself." He Xiaoman said.
Whether it was pantograph wiring, circuit troubleshooting, or parameter debugging, she did not let any millimeter-level error slip by. At the end of each training day, the first thing He Xiaoman did was to use pen and paper to review the entire day's technical movements, note down shortcomings, think about optimization plans, and ultimately hone out a set of efficient, standardized, low-error operating procedures.
"On the path of growing skilled through craftsmanship, individual effort is especially important." He Xiaoman said, all progress comes from day-after-day persistence and accumulation.

Xue Haoxin, gold medal winner in the Plastering and Drywall Systems category—
Putting in painstaking effort, bringing out his own luster in life
People's Daily reporter Wang Zhe
The Plastering and Drywall Systems category — what ordinary people call "scraping white walls" — Xue Haoxin scraped it to the highest level of the WorldSkills Competition.
Xue Haoxin comes from Yantai Urban and Rural Construction School. In September 2020, he was admitted to this school, and in October 2021 joined the school's WorldSkills class, undergoing training in the Plastering and Drywall Systems category. His coach, Zhang Shousheng, took a liking to this Shandong young man who could endure hardship at their first meeting. "Build a small house according to blueprints, then do acoustic treatment, plastering, and creative modeling. I am very interested in this skill." After an initial understanding, Xue Haoxin threw himself into it wholeheartedly.
Entering the training ground at first was far harder than imagined. To steady his operations, Xue Haoxin repeated scraping motions over a thousand times a day; his wrists swelled but he never rested; holding a power drill to fix the keel, the high-speed drill bit shook his arms numb. He wrote down the key points of each module's operations and the details of mistakes in a notebook; after practicing during the day, he would hold the notebook and ponder over it at night.
During this preparation period, he entered the training ground at 7 a.m. every day and did not return to his dormitory until night. The line-speed competition module required completion within two hours; "during training, Coach Zhang set the time limit at 45 minutes. Through such nearly harsh training, my hand speed and precision were pushed bit by bit toward their limits." Xue Haoxin said.
In the Plastering and Drywall Systems category at this WorldSkills Competition, the plastering module did not allow the use of any sanding tools, relying entirely on hand to apply putty onto the wall surface. Xue Haoxin first did plaster leveling on the wall, then applied putty, judged the wet-dry state of the plaster by feel, coordinated with a damp cloth to polish inch by inch, and ultimately made the wall surface present a mirror-like effect.
Xue Haoxin used several years of painstaking "dumb effort" to scrape a wall into a mirror, and also scraped out his own luster in life.
Manufacturing and Engineering Technology
Liu Bowen and Fan Jinchen, gold medal winners in the Autonomous Mobile Robot category—
Working in close coordination, making the robot run more smoothly
People's Daily reporter Bai Guangdi
A soda can's surface is smooth, a wet tissue deforms easily under force, and wooden bowls and yogurt bottles each have different shapes — how difficult is it for a robot to use its gripper to precisely pick up these items and deliver them to designated positions? At the Autonomous Mobile Robot event venue, Liu Bowen and Fan Jinchen, students of Nanjing Technician College, relied on a robot they jointly designed and debugged to win the gold medal in this two-person event.
This robot had to be assembled from parts, then complete programming and testing, and undergo multiple tests including design, maze, vision, and comprehensive tasks. Among these, the comprehensive task simulated restaurant management and supermarket item sorting, testing the robot's gripping and mobility capabilities. "The items are placed by the judges; at the design stage, everything is unknown." Fan Jinchen said.
Fan Jinchen focused mainly on hardware, responsible for circuits and mechanical structures; Liu Bowen focused mainly on software, designing the robot's movements and paths. "This is a competition event requiring proficiency in both software and hardware, and the two must work in close coordination with each other." Fan Jinchen said.
During training, Fan Jinchen added structural profiles to the robot body to reduce shaking during movement; improved the gripper so that it could grasp items of different shapes and materials. Liu Bowen researched how to make sensors, motors, and mechanical mechanisms work in close coordination, optimizing the logic of the robot's automatic grasping movements.
Liu Bowen said that at the competition site, the works of other countries' teams were also equally outstanding. "We mainly won on path planning." He described his robot as "running very smoothly." But the two also saw their own shortcomings. Fan Jinchen noticed that some teams adopted six-axis mechanisms, which had "very high flexibility," and he planned to bring this new concept back to his team and continue designing new equipment. Liu Bowen found that his mastery of knowledge such as controlling motors and reading sensor data was still insufficient; "I want to strive to design a more flexible, more advanced robot."
Information and Communication Technology
Lan Duancheng, gold medal winner in the Software Testing category—
Staying calm and making sound judgments, troubleshooting software operation faults
People's Daily reporter Li Zong
In the Software Testing category, a new event at this competition, Lan Duancheng from Guangzhou Industry and Trade Technician College won first prize in one fell swoop (一举夺魁, yi ju duo kui - "one, move, seize, leader"), winning the Chinese delegation its first gold medal in the history of this event. "Being able to win this gold medal fills me with great pride." Lan Duancheng said.
Lan Duancheng has had a strong interest in computers since childhood. "I chose the software testing major because I discovered that every excellent software product cannot be separated from the rigorous quality control of testers. Moreover, it tests logical thinking and practical ability, prompting me to continuously challenge myself." Lan Duancheng said. After enrolling in 2021, Lan Duancheng studied very diligently; "every time I find and solve a defect, it brings me a sense of achievement, and also helps me become more refined in technology."
"Participating in the competition was both about challenging myself, testing my professional competence on the international stage, and also about hoping to exchange technical ideas with contestants from various countries and broaden my professional horizons." Lan Duancheng said. The Software Testing category required contestants to verify software characteristics such as functionality, reliability, security, and usability within a specified time, using multiple testing methods to find defects, analyze root causes, and propose repair suggestions.
"The biggest difficulty of this event lies in its 'uncertainty'; contestants need to make judgments quickly." Ye Chonghan, head of the Chinese team's expert group and coach team, introduced.
It tests not only technique, but also mentality. Lan Duancheng said that during a mock competition in the preparation stage, an environment configuration issue caused the test script to fail; with only half an hour remaining before the end, he calmly investigated the logs, located the problem, and ultimately successfully resolved it. "It was precisely this calm mentality that helped me ultimately win the gold medal. I must continue to work hard at research, further improving my professional competence." Lan Duancheng said.
Creative Arts and Fashion
Tang Qixuan, gold medal winner in the 3D Digital Game Art category—
Meticulously refining modeling, forging passion into real skill
People's Daily reporter Huang Xiaohui
The digital pen landed on the tablet, a rustling sound that did not stop for a moment. On the screen, the line draft grew into a model, then was "clothed" in materials and light and shadow, and a game scene leaped onto the screen. At the 3D Digital Game Art event venue, Tang Qixuan, an employee of Shanghai International Automobile City Human Resources Co., Ltd.,, independently completed concept design, 3D modeling, UV unwrapping and texturing, rigging and animation, and engine output over 4 days and 22 hours. Work that a game company would assign to four or five people was all pressed onto one person's shoulders at the competition.
Tang Qixuan has loved games and anime since childhood. At age 16, she attended a lecture on digital media, and "the craft of 3D game design immediately 'planted a seed' in my heart." She said that when the school was selecting contestants for Shanghai's "Starlight Plan" vocational college skills competition, her guiding teacher chose her, and Tang Qixuan thus entered the field of 3D game design.
Without an art foundation, without systematic training, and without a dedicated mentor, she immersed herself in video tutorials, from basic operations to complex modeling, repeatedly watching, taking notes, and copying, until she finally mastered skills such as drawing, modeling, and animation.
To prepare for the WorldSkills Competition, she practiced from around 8 or 9 in the morning until 11 or 12 at night, and even trained on Chinese New Year's Eve. "I don't have extraordinary talent; I just genuinely love it and practice more than others." Tang Qixuan said.
When she received the competition task for the 3D modeling segment, Tang Qixuan was a bit nervous — usually she mostly worked on characters and animals, but this time the competition was on Western architecture; modeling that normally took her 10 hours had to be completed in 3 hours during the competition. On the last competition day, her machine crashed; after restarting, Tang Qixuan steadied her mentality and ultimately won the gold medal.
"After the competition, I must continue to study diligently and practice hard." From "liking to play games" to "designing and making games," Tang Qixuan has forged her passion into real skill.

Wang Tianxiang, gold medal winner in the Sugar Art / Western Pastry category—
Creating with craftsmanship, blending Chinese style into Western sugar art
People's Daily reporter Xu Jing
A giant panda, wearing a lion dance hat on its head, holding a candied hawthorn stick, and stepping on roller skates, looking adorably naive, with a peony base of elegant bearing — Eastern aesthetics and Western sugar art perfectly blended… This "Lion Dance Panda" work incorporating Chinese style stunned the audience and won the gold medal. Its creator was Wang Tianxiang from Anhui New Oriental Cooking Advanced Technician School.
"When designing this work, I fully considered craftsmanship, form, and sense of line, while also incorporating Chinese cultural elements." Wang Tianxiang said, "My goal in participating was to make the world remember China's sugar art style."
In 2019, Wang Tianxiang enrolled in the school. "Learning sugar art comes with considerable difficulties." Wang Tianxiang said, "The simplest thing — sugar must be melted at high temperature; how high the sugar temperature is, how soft or hard it is, all must be felt by hand." He held out his hand; the layer of calluses on his fingertips was a testament to his countless days and nights of effort.
Relying on a tenacity that feared no hardship, Wang Tianxiang gradually improved his level. He said that during the most agonizing period of preparation, he trained over 12 hours a day — boiling sugar, pulling sugar, shaping, assembling — often repeating a single delicate shape hundreds of times; "I never thought about giving up; if I fell, I would just start over again."
At the competition venue, each contestant had one workstation, and every minute and second was pressure. Attire, hygiene, taste, color… Facing over 200 scoring points, Wang Tianxiang concentrated his full attention (聚精会神, ju jing hui shen - "gather, essence, concentrate, spirit"), and with every sugar kneading and shaping, every detail carved, he was steady, precise, doing things in an orderly and methodical manner (有条不紊, you tiao bu wen - "have, order, not, messy")."This competition was on home turf, the theme suited me, and with excellent team support, I have always been very confident." Wang Tianxiang said.
"This gold medal is an affirmation of my many years of effort, and even more a weighty responsibility." He said, "Honor belongs to the past; craftsmanship never stops."

Seventy-one young Chinese competitors, with an average age of 21, vied for glory on the stage of the 48th WorldSkills Competition, displaying the brilliance of youth through superb skills and burnishing China's skills name card with craftsmanship. The impressive results on the competition stage are a vivid microcosm of the vigorous growth of China's skilled workforce and the improved quality and efficiency of technical education.
At present, the total number of skilled workers in China has exceeded 220 million, with highly skilled talents surpassing 72 million; a skilled-talent formation that is large in scale, complete in echelon structure, and optimized in composition has taken shape. As the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation accelerates, and industries undergo deep transformation toward intelligence, green development, and integration, higher demands are placed on talent quality, innovation capacity, and craftsmanship spirit. Promoting the emergence of more highly skilled talents in competition is precisely the inevitable choice for building a manufacturing powerhouse.
Let skill growth have fertile soil. The stunning blossoming on the WorldSkills stage stems from day-after-day systematic cultivation. Only by aligning education standards with industrial standards and matching talent supply with market demand can skilled-talent cultivation better adapt to industrial upgrading. It is necessary to deepen school-enterprise cooperation and industry-education integration, improve the lifelong vocational skills training system, focus on industrial development and people's livelihood service needs, carry out large-scale vocational skills training, and pave the way for the growth of skilled talents.
Let serving the country through skills become the prevailing trend. From traditional craftsmen rooted at the front line consolidating the industrial foundation, to WorldSkills competitors breaking limits and achieving outstanding results, generation after generation of skilled workers have been dedicated and focused, striving for perfection (精益求精, jing yi qiu jing - "refine, seek, excellence"), extremely meticulous and careful (一丝不苟, yi si bu gou - "one, thread, not, careless"), pursuing excellence, letting the craftsmanship spirit be passed down from generation to generation. It is necessary to tell well the stories of the growth and success of outstanding highly skilled talents, vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, the spirit of labor, and the spirit of craftsmanship, so that respecting labor and advocating skills become social consensus, and inspire more young people to achieve brilliant lives through a skill.
Let skilled talents have a stage. A sound incentive and evaluation system is the key to activating the intrinsic motivation of skilled talents. It is necessary to establish an evaluation system centered on ability, performance, and contribution, comprehensively, deeply, and continuously implement the "New Eight-Level Worker" vocational skill grade system, establish and improve a skill-oriented salary distribution system, improve and perfect the system for mutual comparison and recognition between vocational qualifications, vocational skill grades, and corresponding professional titles, academic credentials, etc., jointly supporting a sound ecosystem in which everyone can become talented and everyone can fully display their talents.
Striving forward into the 15th Five-Year Plan, continuing to deeply cultivate the building of the skilled-talent workforce, strengthening the foundation through cultivation, gathering confidence through craftsmanship, and activating vitality through institutions, will surely enable more skilled talents to stand out from the crowd (脱颖而出, tuo ying er chu - "remove, awl, emerge, out") and grow upward. The radiant light of skills will surely continue to illuminate the bright future of skilled workers, the road to building a manufacturing powerhouse, and the road of striving forward in Chinese modernization.

Editor's note: A nation cannot stand without national defense, and its people cannot live in peace without security. During this year's "All-People National Defense Education Month," localities closely centered on the theme of "Carrying Forward the Great Long March Spirit, United in Building a Strong National Defense," innovating forms and enriching carriers, moving the national defense education classroom onto warships, into campuses, and to revolutionary heritage sites, guiding cadres and the masses to strengthen their awareness of national defense and fulfill their national defense obligations. Recently, reporters visited three localities to explore the rich and varied practices of national defense education.
The Navy of the Northern Theater Command carried out a ship open-day activity —
Understanding the responsibility of maritime defense through vivid experience
From September 19 to 22, the Navy of the Northern Theater Command conducted a ship open-day activity at the Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center wharf in Shandong Province. The Kaifeng and Linyi, two active-duty main warships, were opened to the public, allowing visitors to explore the deep-blue warships at zero distance and feel the power of a strong military.
During the activity, the Olympic Sailing Center wharf was crowded with people (人头攒动, ren tou can dong - "person, head, crowd, move"), and visitors boarded the ships in an orderly manner to catch a glimpse of the mighty bearing of the People's Navy's modern warships. Boarding the Kaifeng, the neatly arranged shipborne equipment and the clean, strictly ordered ship appearance, along with the overwhelming steel momentum, left visitors deeply impressed. Yi Xiaodong, an officer aboard the Kaifeng, served as an on-site docent, wearing a headset and patiently explaining equipment knowledge to visitors.
"What you see before you is the 130mm naval gun; beside it is the vertical missile launch system. This destroyer can carry out missions such as air defense, anti-submarine warfare, and strikes against surface targets, guarding the motherland's vast maritime frontiers." Yi Xiaodong, from the naval gun, point-defense weapons,to radar detection equipment, explained the ship's functions, missions,and tasks in plain, accessible language, and also drew on real combat cases to tell stories of the People's Navy's far-seas patrols and safeguarding of maritime rights and interests. "The motherland has vast blue territory; we cleave through waves, defending every inch of our maritime frontiers and guarding the lights of ten thousand households. This tranquility also requires the whole society to jointly care about national defense and support national defense." Yi Xiaodong said.
Among the crowd, there was a mother-daughter pair who had come to Qingdao from Karamay, Xinjiang. Standing on the deck of the Kaifeng, gazing at the August 1 military flag unfurling in the wind, the mother was deeply moved: "Standing on a warship, my heart is filled with excitement and pride. I hope my child will understand that behind a stable life lies the silent dedication of countless officers and soldiers."
In addition to actually boarding the ships for visits, the activity also set up rich interactive experience segments such as knot-tying instruction and naval flag-signal demonstrations, allowing tourists to understand the responsibility of maritime defense and appreciate the commitment of soldiers through vivid experience.
This ship open-day activity, using physical objects, real scenes, and real cases as carriers, made the weighty history of national defense, vivid stories of building a strong military, and hard-core national defense strength visible and tangible. Through immersive and experiential forms of education, it effectively broadened the coverage of all-people national defense education, letting the concept of national defense take root among the masses and sink deep into people's hearts.
Jiangxi advances youth national defense education through competitions —
The sentiment of patriotism and strengthening the military quietly rises
"More than 90 years ago, the main force of the Central Red Army gathered and set out from Yudu, Jiangxi, embarking on the long Long March road. The Long March spirit has never been an abstract term in books; it is rooted in this red land beneath our feet..."
On September 7, the lecture hall of the West Campus of Zhanggong District No. 2 Primary School in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, was completely filled with people (座无虚席, zuo wu xu xi - "seat, no, empty, seat"). On stage, Xie Xinning, a student from Class 8, Grade 3, was telling the story of the Red Army's departure on the Long March, deeply emotional and sincere (情深意切, qing shen yi qie - "feeling, deep, meaning, earnest"); off stage, teachers and students listened intently.
That day, the school held a "Red Scarf Loves National Defense" themed speech contest. From the ideals and convictions of Red Army soldiers on the Long March,to the youth and perseverance of border-defense heroes in the new era; from the red memories of the Gannan Soviet Area,to the self-reliance and self-strengthening of national defense science and technology... Students told one after another burning stories of family and country, and the sentiment of patriotism and strengthening the military quietly rose amid the clear, childish voices.
A speech contest is a vivid microcosm of Jiangxi's coordinated promotion of the integrated development of national defense education across universities, middle schools, and primary schools. How can youth national defense education activities avoid the problems of positioning being "scattered," content being "shallow," and coverage being "narrow"? Jiangxi has been exploring — carrying out a youth national defense literacy competition, educating people through competitions, with participants covering three school segments: primary school, junior high school, and senior high school.
September is both the back-to-school season and "All-People National Defense Education Month." Primary and secondary schools across Ganzhou concentratedly carried out "First Lesson of the School Year" activities themed "Red Scarf Loves National Defense," benchmarking against the standards of the National Youth National Defense Literacy Competition, setting up competition or training programs such as themed speeches, skills challenges, and creative design, guiding students to comprehend the Long March spirit and firmly establish the concept of national defense.
"Keep your hands steady, breathe evenly, and don't be anxious to pull the trigger when aiming..." In the simulated shooting area of Shashi Jibu Primary School in Ganzhou City, instructor Huang Guanfei, half-squatting, was hands-on correcting the rifle-holding posture of Chen Hao, a sixth-grade student. Chen Hao held his breath, pressed his right eye against the simulated scope, and slowly exerted force with his index finger — "Bang!" The target indicator light lit up in response, a 10-ring bullseye!
"Previously I had only seen target shooting on TV and thought it was simple. Once I tried it myself, I realized that if your hand trembles even slightly, the front sight drifts off. The instructor said that back then, Red Army soldiers on the battlefield had to count every bullet when firing — that kind of composure really cannot be developed in just a day or two." Chen Hao said.
In recent years, many schools in Ganzhou have built national defense education facilities and equipment such as national defense education exhibition halls and national defense training grounds,配备 training instructors, integrating national defense education into daily teaching. Looking across Jiangxi Province, the effectiveness of educating people through competitions is continuously becoming evident. Since last year, Jiangxi has relied on competitions to focus on cultivating 340 national defense characteristic talents, of whom 62 students were admitted to military academies or national defense characteristic classes; it has promoted 105 national defense education demonstration schools and 150 juvenile military schools to incorporate competition event content into daily teaching, offering national defense physical education classes in primary and secondary schools, establishing clubs such as war-game deduction, making military green the most vivid background color of campuses.
Hunan Rucheng organizes new recruits to retrace the Long March route —
Attending a "political lesson with scenery"
Early in the morning of September 14, more than 80 people in total, including newly enlisted recruits and full-time people's armed forces cadres from Rucheng County, Hunan Province, uniformly dressed and carrying backpacks, arrived at Reshui Town. Rucheng was the first stop of the Central Red Army's Long March entering Hunan. On the occasion of commemorating the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March, Rucheng County moved the new recruit send-off ceremony into the Long March heritage sites, organizing new recruits to retrace the Long March route and take well the "national defense lesson" before enlistment.
"Today we are not here for sightseeing or check-in photos, but to attend a lesson on the soul of the military, a lesson on original aspiration, anda lesson on mission." In front of the revolutionary heritage site, Huang Guihua, a militia lecturer from Shazhou, explained to the new recruits based on the site's historical background and wartime role.
This activity, themed "Remembering Ninety Years of the Long March, Bravely Shouldering Responsibility to Strengthen the Military and Serve the Country," was also a novel send-off ceremony for the recruits. The route spanned more than half of the county's territory, linking 4 red heritage sites and embedding 3 "micro ideological-political lessons." Along the way, they visited, they marched, they received lessons. "We have turned the send-off ceremony into a national defense classroom, making national defense education present at all times and in all places." Zhang Yuehai, political commissar of the Rucheng County People's Armed Forces Department, said.
Rucheng was the main battlefield where the Central Red Army broke through the second blockade line, with red heritage sites widely scattered like stars or chess pieces (星罗棋布, xing luo qi bu - "star, scatter, chess, cloth"), and stories such as "Half a Quilt" and "An IOU" were widely celebrated. In recent years, the locality has restored revolutionary heritage sites, formed a militia lecture team of more than 30 people in Shazhou, and carried out activities such as red heritage lectures and national defense education entering campuses, targeting new recruits, youth, and students, delivering a "political lesson with scenery." This year, the Rucheng County People's Armed Forces Department seized the opportunity of pre-enlistment education for new recruits, entering the campuses of Rucheng County Vocational High School, No. 1 High School, No. 2 High School, and No. 3 High School, combining conscription mobilization with red heritage lectures. By coordinating route reconnaissance, course scheduling, and service support, it moved the national defense education classroom to the Long March heritage sites.
In Zhengsheng Village, Quanshui Town, everyone arrived before the "Monument to the Long March Spirit: Five Generations of a Farming Family Keeping Vigil for the Red Army" and stood in solemn reverence, listening attentively. More than 90 years ago, a Red Army soldier, after sacrificing his life, was buried in the mountains of Zhengsheng Village, and a local farming family kept vigil at the grave for five generations, never once interrupting. At the foot of Qingshi Stockade Mountain in Guanheng Village, Yanshou Yao Ethnic Township, Huang Guihua recounted the deeds of Dong Zhentang, commander of the Red Fifth Army Corps, who led from the front. The Red Army, with the support of the masses, fought a bloody battle, won the Qingshi Stockade blocking action, and left behind the stories of "An IOU" and "Comrades, follow me!"
Leaving Guanheng Village, the new recruits arrived at Shazhou Village, where the story of "Half a Quilt" took place. A representative of the new recruits voiced their determination to join the military, anda representative of the parents offered parting words of advice. At the send-off ceremony, copies of the book Half a Quilt, tied with red ribbons, were presented to the new recruits, becoming a special gift accompanying them as they headed to the barracks.
Zhu Qianyu, a representative of the new recruits, signed up to join the military after graduating from university this year. "I will pack the stories of my hometown into my luggage, turn them into motivation for hard training and diligent skill learning, bring honor to my hometown, and contribute to protecting our homes and defending our country." He said.

Return to TopIn the early morning, Songya Lake is lightly veiled in mist, with waterbirds skimming across the blue-green waves; in the afternoon, at Banshe Community, visitors pause on the field ridges to listen to a concert held amid the rice paddies; in the evening, at the smart factory, robotic arms rise and fall with precision, and in 53 seconds, a complete vehicle rolls off the production line; when night falls, the sound waves of the Strawberry Music Festival light up the XingSha night sky... In Changsha County, Hunan Province, landscapes and culture shine in coordination or complementing each other (交相辉映, jiao xiang hui ying - "exchange, shine, reflect; shine, reflect"), industry and ecology empower each other in both directions, giving rise to a vibrant new atmosphere in culture and tourism.
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the total number of tourists received by Changsha County grew from 11.92 million person-times to 37.6898 million person-times, and comprehensive tourism revenue grew from 17.14 billion yuan to 34.04 billion yuan, with its ranking among the "Top 100 Counties in Comprehensive County-Level Tourism Strength" leaping from 72nd place to 23rd place.
On September 29, with the theme "Happy Changsha, Shining XingSha," the Fifth Changsha City Tourism Development Conference opened in Changsha County. To strengthen the county-level economy, Changsha County has earnestly answered the two "integration questions" of "culture + technology" and "culture + tourism," continuously polishing its three cultural name cards of historical culture, revolutionary culture, and modern culture, anchoring its goal of building itself into the "nation's preferred destination for short-distance micro-vacations," depicting a new "four colors" integrated development picture of culture and tourism featuring "red forging the soul, green nourishing the city, blue enlightening the mind, and gold driving toward the new," and, integrating the unique advantages of culture, ecology, industry, and openness, has carved out a path of integrated development characterized by "short-distance micro-vacations and brief, light leisure."
Red Forging the Soul Deepening Love of Family and Country
The cultural lineage of XingSha has endured for a thousand years, and since modern times it has produced an outstanding array of heroes and talents; today, red tourism sites are widely distributed in many places (星罗棋布, xing luo qi bu -"stars, gather; chess, spread"), and every brick, every tile, every blade of grass, every tree, is engraved with the ideals, responsibilities, and feelings of family and country of the revolutionary forebears.
In recent years, Changsha County has deepened the activation and utilization of red resources, making revolutionary culture tangible, touchable, approachable, and amiable, and moving one group of visitors after another with the ideals and sentiments of the revolutionary forebears. Centered on the former residences of martyrs, Kaihui Town has integrated the resources of the Banshe Tourism Resort to create an Art Season of Rice Paddy Culture—amid the golden waves of rice, artistic installations and natural scenery complement each other to create a charming effect (相映成趣, xiang ying cheng qu -"mutually, reflect; become, interest"), and visitors wander among them, receiving education while also enjoying leisure. Red tourism has driven rural consumption; the "First Love Teahouse," renovated from an old supply-and-marketing cooperative, is often full, peaking at over 800 tables served per day, driving the town's comprehensive tourism revenue to approximately 30 million yuan, achieving two-way empowerment between red education and rural vacations.
Green Nourishing the City Creating Poetic Dwelling
As a national demonstration zone for ecological civilization construction anda practice-and-innovation base for the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets," Changsha County, using "micro-renovation, refined improvement" as its starting point, coordinates its resources of mountains, waters, forests, and fields, painting a livable and travel-friendly picture of harmonious coexistence between lake and city, and of mutual integration between urban and rural areas.
The blue-green waves of Songya Lake National Wetland Park ripple gently, and cyclists on the lakeside greenway are people coming and going in great numbers (往来如织, wang lai ru zhi -"go, come; like, weaving"); during this year's "May Day" holiday, single-day visitor traffic exceeded 300,000 person-times. Rural cultural-and-tourism scenes such as Dasha Li in Qingshanpu Town continue to heat up. The Dazhanchong Forest Park in Lukou Town, known as "Changsha's Little Jiuzhaigou," has a forest coverage rate of 91%.
Relying on differentiated development under the principle of "one town, one distinctive feature," each village finds and highlights its own unique beauty (各美其美, ge mei qi mei -"each, beautiful; its, beautiful"): beside Tianxi Lake, Yinshan Village in Jiangbei Town has achieved a transformation from the "hometown of cement" to a "beautiful village of culture and tourism," with visitor reception exceeding 600,000 person-times this year; beside Laodao River, Tanfang Village in Ansha Town's Baita Youth Innovation Village has activated rural vitality with its "courtyard economy," successfully revitalizing idle rural houses, bringing traditional culture back to life, and attracting young talent to move in.
Blue Enlightening the Mind Unlocking New Industrial Landscapes
As a strong industrial county and smart-manufacturing highland of Hunan Province, Changsha County has stepped beyond traditional culture-and-tourism pathways, converting its manufacturing endowments into cultural-and-tourism resources, taking the deep integration of "culture + technology" as its breakthrough, and, relying on the hard-core industrial advantages of 4 enterprises among the global Top 50 construction machinery companies and 2 world-class lighthouse factories, has turned intelligent manufacturing into new cultural-and-tourism scenery.
Stepping into the smart factory of GAC Aion's Changsha branch, robotic arms wave with precision, and since the industrial tourism project was launched in October 2024, it has received over 11,000 person-times. At the same time, Sany Intelligent Heavy Truck displays the hard-core strength of "a great power's heavy equipment," and Minghe Industrial Park, with holographic projection and virtual reality, creates immersive experience spaces, also becoming a check-in destination for industrial tourism. Changsha County, which does not grow a single coffee bean, leveraging its superimposed advantages as the host venue of the China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo and as a leading pilot zone for deep China-Africa economic and trade cooperation in Hunan Province, is accelerating the building of a complete coffee industry chain connecting China and Africa.
The Super Robot Grand World is a robot service store located in Changsha County; within its 15,000-square-meter experience space, over 100 robot models each showcase their unique skills, and more than 50 real-world application scenarios are presented one by one, with first-half visitor reception exceeding 10,000 person-times.
Gold Driving Toward the New
Stirring the Vitality of Openness
As the forward position for open development in the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan metropolitan circle, Changsha County embraces the world with an attitude of openness, embedding fashionable consumption and international exchange into everyday cultural-and-tourism scenes, continuously amplifying the comprehensive effects of openness-driven empowerment.
The Songya Lake Concert uses music as its medium; in the evening breeze by the lake, guests from all directions gather for an auditory feast; international events such as the African Coffee Carnival land in XingSha, and in the aroma of a cup of coffee floats the city's temperament of openness and inclusiveness.
At the Strawberry Music Festival, performers take the stage in turn, sound waves and crowds interweave, with on-site audiences exceeding 50,000 person-times, driving nearly 100 million yuan in surrounding consumption; since its trial operation, Shanshan Outlets has accumulated nearly 1.5 million person-times in visitor traffic; Xiangxiu City's national-trend fashion products are exported to more than 20 countries, and Changsha County's cultural-and-tourism brand is moving toward a broader stage.
From red heritage to green ecology, from blue intelligent manufacturing to gold openness, the "four colors" interweave to paint the magnificent picture of "Happy Changsha, Shining XingSha." County-level regions are an important main battlefield for high-quality development in culture and tourism; in the future, Changsha County will use cultural depth to elevate tourism height, expand industrial breadth with the depth of integration, accelerate the building of itself into the "nation's preferred destination for short-distance micro-vacations," and lead the way at the forefront of a trend (勇立潮头, yong li chao tou -"bravely, stand; tide, head") in Hunan's journey to accelerate the building of a world-class tourism destination.

Return to TopOn September 16, the Pinglu Canal officially opened to navigation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the construction of the Pinglu Canal, and has issued important instructions and directives on multiple occasions, requiring that the Pinglu Canal be built to high standards and with high quality, creating a quality project, a green project, anda clean project.
As the first major canal built since the founding of New China that connects rivers to the sea, the Pinglu Canal begins at Pingtang River Estuary in Hengzhou, Guangxi, passes through Luwu Town, Lingshan, and follows the Qin River into the Beibu Gulf, with a total length of 134.2 kilometers, navigable by 5,000-ton-class vessels.
This is a canal of openness. As a backbone project of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor anda landmark project of accelerating the building of a strong transportation country, the Pinglu Canal cuts through mountains toward the sea, linking the Xijiang River with the Beibu Gulf, opening up for the southwestern region a southward sea passage with the shortest transport distance, the most economical cost, and the greatest convenience, providing key strategic support for China's construction of the new development pattern of domestic and international dual circulation.
This is a canal of innovation. From the conception in the Founding Strategy of the Nation over 100 years ago to its realization today, behind it lies the institutional advantage of concentrating resources to accomplish major undertakings. Over 160 institutions, more than 800 authoritative experts, and over 70 scientific research projects have converged here, successfully overcoming multiple world-class challenges and achieving technological innovations such as the ship lock with the fastest valve opening and closing speed for water conveyance corridors in the world, the world's most water-efficient ship lock by head height, and the world's largest inland water-efficient ship lock, truly deserving to be called a person who has mastered and integrated various elements into a whole (集大成者, ji da cheng zhe - "collect, great, complete, person") of contemporary Chinese water transport engineering wisdom.
This is a canal of green development. In 2025, the Regulations on the Protection and Administration of the Pinglu Canal were implemented, incorporating the "ecological corridor" into local legislation; the "Tianjing" cutter-suction dredger was introduced to replace reef blasting, protecting the contiguous mangrove forests at the estuary;a dedicated animal passage bridge was built, creating an "ecological corridor" for species such as the spotted linsang and the leopard cat;the 315 million cubic meters of earth and rock excavated were comprehensively utilized...The positioning of a "green project" runs through the entire course of the canal's construction.
This is a canal of development. The opening of the Pinglu Canal to navigation has fundamentally changed Guangxi's situation of being adjacent to the sea yet having no river route for direct navigation to the sea. By accelerating the construction of a modern seaward infrastructure system, Guangxi, taking the Pinglu Canal Economic Belt as its main artery, is accelerating the formation of a "leaf-vein-style" seaward industrial pattern. In 2025, the parks of the 8 cities in the Pinglu Canal Economic Belt together completed an approximate total output value of industries above designated size of about 1.5 trillion yuan, with investment completion from implemented projects attracted through investment promotion exceeding 230 billion yuan;the canal has cumulatively created over 100,000 jobs, and residents relocated along the route in places such as Lingshan and Qinnan have achieved the goals of being able to move out, stay steadily, develop, and become prosperous.
Since construction began in August 2022, many photographers have used their lenses to record the changes of the Pinglu Canal. Let us review the construction process and look forward to the magnificent picture on the land of Guangxi of "one canal open, a hundred industries prosper, the entire region invigorated."
(People's Daily reporter Zhu Jiaqi)
Reflections
From the full-scale commencement of the Pinglu Canal in August 2022 to its completion and opening to navigation today, over the past four years, I have made more than 180 round trips along the canal route, accumulated over 100 TB (terabytes) of image data, written more than 10 shooting logs, and organized more than 10 photographic special features. Every weekend and holiday, I have devoted myself almost entirely to the canal—the villages along the route, the three major hubs, the 15 bid-section waterways, and the construction sites of the 27 bridges spanning the canal, are all my most familiar destinations.
My lens has recorded the grand scenes of the world-class hub ship locks, the innovative utilization of the enormous quantities of earth and rock, and has also captured the "faces of the canal" of frontline construction workers and the nostalgic memories of residents relocated along the route. The story of the canal has both weight and warmth. I hope to use imagery to archive this major project and witness the realization of the dream of "one river connected, the dream of reaching the sea fulfilled."

On July 8, 2026, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech at the National Science and Technology Awards Conference, the Joint Conference of Academicians of the Two Academies, and the Eleventh National Congress of the China Association for Science and Technology, clearly stating: "The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as the highest academic institutions in China's scientific and technological community and engineering and technological community, must shoulder the duties and missions of the national strategic scientific and technological force and the scientific and technological think tank." This important exposition, standing at the strategic overall height of advancing Chinese modernization and building a strong science and technology nation, endows the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering with new mission coordinates, and raises the major proposition of building a scientific and technological think tank. As the nation's highest honorary and consultative academic institution in the field of engineering science and technology, the Chinese Academy of Engineering must profoundly comprehend the strategic implications of this major proposition, resolutely shoulder the duties and missions of the national strategic scientific and technological force, practice the original aspiration of serving the country through science and technology, transform the collective wisdom of the academician community into intellectual force leading the development of engineering science and technology, and accelerate the building of a high-level engineering science and technology think tank for the new era.
Profoundly understanding the strategic significance of building an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has delivered a series of important speeches and important instructions and directives on scientific and technological innovation, pointing out that "scientific and technological innovation is the inexhaustible driving force for the progress of human civilization" and"to advance Chinese modernization, science and technology must take the lead, and scientific and technological innovation is the only path," emphasizing that"engineering science and technology is the engine driving human progress, and is a powerful lever for industrial revolution, economic development, and social progress""an engineering scientific and technological innovation can give birth to an industry, can influence and even change the world,"etc., providing fundamental guidance for the building of an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era. To profoundly comprehend these important expositions, one must recognize the major significance of building an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era from the three dimensions of theoretical logic, historical logic, and practical logic.
From the perspective of theoretical logic, this is the inherent requirement, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, of deeply studying and implementing General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on scientific and technological innovation, and of deepening the practical application of the Party's innovative theory in the field of science and technology. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the guiding ideology that the Party and the state must uphold for a long time, and is the fundamental guidance for all work in the new era. As a component of this important thought, General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on scientific and technological innovation are the fundamental guidance and action guide for advancing high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and strength and building a strong science and technology nation, and are the"soul" and"outline" of the building of an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era. To build an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era, one must adhere to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guide, deeply study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on scientific and technological innovation, unite the nation's scientific and technological community to grasp the direction of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and courageously scale the world's scientific peaks. A scientific and technological think tank is an important source of policy ideas for scientific and technological innovation development; its core value lies in profoundly understanding the laws of scientific and technological development, making precise judgments on development trends, proposing underlying concepts, development paradigms, and strategic judgments concerning the nation's long-term scientific and technological development, supporting scientific decision-making with scientific consultation, and leading scientific development with scientific decision-making. Building an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era is a major mission for the Chinese Academy of Engineering to give full play to its function as a national high-end think tank, strengthen its role in scientific and technological strategic consultation, build a world-class think tank, thereby enhancing the nation's scientific and technological governance capacity, promoting the innovation and progress of China's engineering science and technology, and facilitating high-quality development of the economy and society
From the perspective of historical logic, this is the inevitable result of the successive evolution of scientific and technological strategic thought and the continuous improvement of output capacity in the course of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The great course of China's scientific and technological undertakings carrying forward the baton clearly bears the historical thread of the Party leading scientific and technological innovation. From issuing the call to"march toward science,"to establishing the thought that"science and technology are the primary productive forces,"to further clarifying the major judgment that"innovation is the primary driving force; from comprehensively implementing the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education,to firmly grasping the strategic goal of building a world power in science and technology,to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further mapping out the grand blueprint of building a strong science and technology nation by 2035,our Party's attention to and planning for scientific and technological innovation have been consistent from beginning to end (一以贯之, yi yi guan zhi - "one, continuously; through, one, pass, through") and keeping pace with the times (与时俱进, yu shi ju jin - "with, time, together, advance"). Historical practice fully demonstrates that the more one advances toward the strategic goal of building a strong science and technology nation, the more one needs to strengthen intellectual guidance, consolidate intellectual consensus, use scientific theory to guide the direction of progress, and gather the surging force for building a strong science and technology nation. Engineering science and technology are an important force changing the world, and developing science and technology is a strategic choice for humanity to respond to global challenges and achieve sustainable development. In the course of socialist modernization, China has achieved a series of major engineering accomplishments such as the"two bombs, one satellite,"the Three Gorges Project, manned spaceflight, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. These are not only fruits of solid work and tackling hard problems, but also inseparable from the guidance of engineering science and technology thought. In this historical process, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, based on China's engineering science and technology development reality, has organized the broad academician community to carry out strategic research around major fields such as major national projects, industrial upgrading, resources and energy, ecological environment, and medicine and health, forming a batch of forward-looking research results, providing important support for major national decision-making, and laying a solid practical foundation for building an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era
From the perspective of practical logic, this is the practical need to respond to major-power scientific and technological competition and support high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and strength. History and reality repeatedly make it clear that the key to scientific and technological competition is intellectual competition, and every world scientific and technological power is without exception a scientific and technological thought power. Scientific and technological innovation competition is not merely a contest of technology, but also a contest of scientific and technological thought and innovation paradigms. Whoever occupies a dominant position in scientific and technological thought and innovation paradigms will win the initiative in international competition. For example, in 1945, the United States'report"Science: The Endless Frontier"profoundly influenced the global pattern of scientific and technological development, and also laid the intellectual foundation for America's position as a scientific and technological power today; in 2026, the United States released the report"Science: A New Golden Age,"reflecting its new round of profound reflection on its own scientific and technological development, fully demonstrating that major-power scientific and technological competition cannot be separated from the reshaping of thought and innovation paradigms. In recent years, China's hard power in engineering science and technology has achieved considerable progress, but its international discourse power and influence in the field of engineering science and technology do not yet match its comprehensive national strength and major-power status, and there exists a practical contradiction of unbalanced development between hard power and soft power. This urgently requires giving full play to the innovation source-generating and strategic think tank functions of the new era engineering science and technology think tank, promoting the effective transformation of hard power in the field of engineering science and technology into institutional and conceptual international discourse soft power, seizing the commanding heights in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, firmly grasping the initiative in innovation and development, and providing solid scientific and technological support for Chinese modernization
Accurately grasping the mission positioning of the new era engineering science and technology think tank
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out:"The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is profoundly changing humanity's mode of production and life and the pattern of world development, and scientific and technological strength and innovation capacity are increasingly becoming the core competitiveness of a country." The engineering science and technology think tank is an important component of national soft power, and plays an important supporting role in deeply advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. At present, the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is profoundly changing humanity's mode of production and life and the pattern of world development, urgently requiring improving the decision-making support system with Chinese characteristics and building an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era
Anchoring the mission positioning of the new era engineering science and technology think tank. Using thought to lead the direction, using thought to gather strength, supporting scientific decision-making with scientific consultation, and leading scientific development with scientific decision-making, are the full embodiment of the value and role of the new era engineering science and technology think tank. The new era engineering science and technology think tank should have three core functions: first, innovation leadership, deepening systematic understanding of the laws of engineering science and technology development and the laws of interaction between science and technology and the economy and society, continuously producing engineering science and technology development thought that can generate major influence and lead development; second, strategic support, focusing on overall, fundamental, and long-term major propositions, carrying out strategic and systematic research and judgment, providing independent, objective scientific support for major national decision-making; third, forward-looking research and judgment, strengthening technological foresight for technologies with major breakthrough potential and subversive capacity, identifying in advance the development opportunities, transformative momentum, as well as potential ethical challenges and ecological constraints brought by new technologies. To build an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era, one must closely focus on the major propositions urgently requiring solutions in Party and government decision-making, carry out forward-looking, targeted, and reserve research around major tasks such as building a strong science and technology nation, a strong manufacturing nation, and a smart society, producing thought, producing results, and producing talent
The Chinese Academy of Engineering has solid practical accumulation for building an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era. The Chinese Academy of Engineering has an academician team that possesses both profound theoretical grounding and practical frontline experience in major national projects, covering all disciplines of engineering science and technology, combining academic height with overall vision, being the most valuable intellectual resource for carrying out interdisciplinary comprehensive strategic research and judgment, and possessing unique advantages in building an engineering science and technology think tank for the new era. First, the practical advantage of full-chain integration. The academician community has insight into the boundary between technological maturity and engineering constraints, can organically connect frontier insights, technological breakthroughs, and engineering implementation, breaking through the barriers between science—technology—engineering—industry. Second, the collaborative advantage of coordinating forces from all sides. It has built a collaborative research system spanning departments, industries, and disciplines, coordinating and integrating the innovative forces of the whole society, breaking through the partial perspectives of a single field, forming overall and holistic strategic judgments. Third, the professional advantage of independence and objectivity. Adhering to seeking truth from facts and academic independence, objectively assessing the pros and cons of major projects, plans, and layouts, maintaining the scientific nature, fairness, and credibility of consultation results. Fourth, the cooperation advantage of facing the world.

He who wishes to build a house must first lay its foundation. During his inspection tour of Shanghai in July this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "If the grassroots level is made solid, it can reach directly to the common people." This important exposition has deepened our Party's understanding of the laws governing grassroots work, and has demonstrated our Party's political nature of taking root among the masses as well as its governing wisdom of valuing foundations and consolidating fundamentals. Grasping the grassroots and consolidating the foundation bear upon the happiness of the people's lives and upon the firmness of the Party's governing foundation. Only by consolidating the grassroots foundation can the Party's role as a bridge and bond connecting with the people be brought into play, and can the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security be continuously enhanced.
As the world's largest governing Party with major global influence, our Party has more than 5 million grassroots Party organizations. These "nerve endings" and "capillaries" are deeply embedded in the fabric of society, taking root in factory workshops, fields and ridges, streets and communities, office buildings and commercial districts. When grassroots Party organizations are strong and effective, the Party's line, principles, and policies can take root and flourishing (落地生根, luo di sheng gen - "fall, land; grow, root"), and the Party's warmth can be conveyed to every household. Grassroots Party organizations directly face, connect with, and serve the masses; only by understanding, being adept at, and diligently doing mass work can they thicken the Party's mass foundation. Last September, Shanghai historically resolved the "carrying chamber pots" problem, benefiting cumulatively more than a million residents. To gnaw through this "hardest bone among hard bones," the active efforts of grassroots Party organizations fighting on the front line were indispensable. From the early stage of visiting and surveying door-to-door household by household, to formulating "one household, one policy" and even "one person, one policy" solutions, grassroots Party organizations fully played their role as fighting fortresses, turning small matters of people's livelihoods into major matters of people's hearts. Practice has shown that only by deeply rooting themselves in the fertile soil of the people and becoming the "mainstays" and "intimate confidants" trusted by the masses can grassroots Party organizations transform the Party's political advantages and organizational advantages into governance effectiveness. At present, reform is continuously advancing in depth, and the contradictions and problems encountered are increasingly complex; it is all the more necessary to continuously build and strengthen grassroots Party organizations, strengthen the political functions and organizational functions of Party organizations, so that they truly become strong fighting fortresses that publicize the Party's propositions, implement the Party's decisions, lead grassroots governance, unite and mobilize the masses, and advance reform and development.
Grassroots cadres are the backbone force for doing grassroots work well. Whether grassroots Party organizations are strong and effective depends to a large extent on whether grassroots cadres' work styles are rigorous and whether their capabilities are strong. Among the Party members awarded the "July 1 Medal" this year, Ma Shanxiang has taken root at the grassroots level for more than 30 years, resolving more than 2,500 conflicts and disputes; Li Liancheng led Xizhuang Village in Puyang County, Henan Province, from a poor village to develop into a nationally renowned civilized village and a model village for rural revitalization; Wu Yaqin has worked in the community for 30 years straight, and "family trivia" and"trivial household matters" have all become heartwarming matters in her hands. From them, we see the character of grassroots cadres daring to take responsibility, and we also see the wisdom of being adept at mass work. Grassroots cadres must both temper the iron shoulders capable of bearing burdens, daring to confront contradictions and courageously cracking "long-standing difficult problems," and also skillfully apply the methodology of "reaching the vast and yet exhausting the subtle," practicing the "embroidery" skill. Listen to people's voices on the field ridges, inquire about their warmth and cold in the alleys, discern people's conditions from subtle details, and grasp the core demands of the masses. Focus on targeted policy implementation, do not engage in "indiscriminate flooding," patiently and meticulously do solid work on small livelihood matters and resolve problems and contradictions.
Consolidating the grassroots, better connecting with people's hearts and benefiting people's livelihoods, requires innovating grassroots governance methods and means in step with the times. At present, new technologies such as artificial intelligence are deeply integrated into economic and social development, people's needs are shifting from "whether they exist" to "whether they are good," and the scale of new employment groups is continuously expanding. Facing the new circumstances of grassroots governance, it is necessary to use new ideas and new methods to resolve problems and contradictions. For example, embedding community comprehensive service spaces in commercial districts both facilitates the people and benefits them, while also revitalizing commerce; mobilizing food delivery riders to become "mobile grid workers," strengthening the new forces of grassroots governance. It is necessary to be adept at using new technological means to perceive social conditions and public opinion, identify entry points for innovation in light of local realities, not innovate for the sake of innovation, but let innovation truly resolve the people's urgent, difficult, and anxious concerns. Smooth channels for public evaluation and feedback, take whether the masses are satisfied as the yardstick for testing governance effectiveness, so that grassroots governance innovation always follows the people's hearts and revolves around people's livelihoods.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized:"A major Party with more than a hundred million Party members and more than 5 million grassroots Party organizations must each fulfill its responsibilities and truly do well the work of serving the common people." By building grassroots Party organizations strong, enhancing grassroots cadres' sense of responsibility and capability in serving the masses, enabling the people to live and work in peace and contentment and live comfortable lives, our Party can always win the support of the people and possess a solid foundation that no wind or wave can shake.
Return to TopDuring the 2023 National Two Sessions, when General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation, he pointed out: "In heaven there is paradise; on earth there are Suzhou and Hangzhou. Suzhou and Hangzhou are both cities that have walked at the forefront in economic development. Places where culture is highly developed — their economies likewise walk at the forefront. One can study the humanistic economics within this." The proposal of this major thesis profoundly reveals the developmental law of the intermingling and interaction between culture and economy, and is the concentrated embodiment of the economic implications of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture.
Humanistic economics transcends the traditional understanding that merely regards culture as an "external variable" of the economy, revealing the deep logic of culture as an "endogenous factor" of economic development. First, culture endows economic development with a value direction — the ultimate purpose of economic development is the free and comprehensive development of the human person, rather than the single-minded growth of GDP, which stipulates that economic activity must serve the realization of human values; second, culture endows economic development with organizational efficacy — culture, as the shared value norms and behavioral standards of society, can lower transaction costs, enhance social trust, promote collaborative cooperation, thereby raising the operational efficiency of the economic system; third, culture endows economic development with innovative momentum — culture provides thinking paradigms and spiritual nourishment, is the "operating system" and "source code" of scientific and technological innovation, and fundamentally determines the direction, quality, and sustainability of innovative activity.
Culture is the profound foundation and spiritual driving force of economic development, and the economy is the material basis and realistic carrier of cultural prosperity. When the warmth of culture merges into the fabric of industry, when the thickness of the humanities supports the breadth of development, high-quality development then possesses a more enduring endogenous driving force.

Building a maritime power is a major strategic task for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and an economic power must be a maritime power. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has attached great importance to the development of marine affairs, emphasizing the need to further care for the ocean, understand the ocean, and manage the ocean with strategic foresight. On July 1, 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the sixth meeting of the Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs of the 20th CPC Central Committee and delivered an important speech, making overall planning and systematic arrangements for the high-quality development of the marine economy.
The ocean is a strategically important frontier for high-quality development
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "To advance Chinese modernization, we must efficiently develop and utilize the ocean, promote the high-quality development of the marine economy, and blaze a path of seeking strength from the sea with Chinese characteristics." General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on building a maritime power are an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and a concrete embodiment of the Party's innovative theories in the new era in the marine field.
First, building a maritime power is an important component of Chinese modernization. The ocean is an important support for national development and comprehensive national strength, and an important domain for safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests. Based on the overall strategic situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the building of a maritime power bears on the advancement of Chinese modernization, is an important foundation for China to expand its development space and build the new development pattern, is a solid guarantee for coordinating development and security and safeguarding national core interests, and is moreover a powerful engine for promoting high-quality development and shaping new advantages in international competition.
Second, a developed marine economy is an important support for building a maritime power. Looking at the world, the ocean is profoundly reshaping the landscape of great-power competition and the global economic map. As an important link connecting domestic and international dual circulation, the marine economy is deeply integrated into networks of global resource allocation, international industrial division of labor, and the flow of scientific and technological factors. At present, China's marine economy is increasingly becoming an important force for stabilizing growth, expanding domestic demand, and promoting opening up. In the future, it is necessary to further seek productivity from the ocean, pursue new economic growth points, and consolidate the material foundation and factor guarantees for building a maritime power.
Third, promoting the high-quality development of the marine economy requires adhering to the "five greater emphases." The "five greater emphases" emphasized by General Secretary Xi Jinping are important principles for promoting the high-quality development of China's marine economy. We must place greater emphasis on innovation-driven development, achieve breakthroughs in key core technologies as soon as possible, and promote high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in marine science and technology; place greater emphasis on high-efficiency coordination, adhere to land-sea coordination and mountain-sea linkage, and enhance the synergy of coordinated development; place greater emphasis on industrial renewal, promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional marine industries, vigorously develop emerging marine industries, actively cultivate future marine industries, and build a modern marine industrial system; place greater emphasis on harmony between people and the sea, coordinate the development and protection of marine resources, build a sustainable marine ecological environment, and form a new pattern of positive interaction between people and the sea; place greater emphasis on win-win cooperation, actively participate in global ocean governance, jointly and peacefully utilize marine energy and resources, and resolutely safeguard China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
Notable achievements have been made in the high-quality development of the marine economy
Under the scientific guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions on building a maritime power, China's level of marine resource development and utilization has been continuously improved, the marine economy has continued to develop toward new quality and better performance, and the foundation of China's maritime power has become thicker and more stable.
First, the marine economy has shown strong development momentum. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China's comprehensive strength in the marine economy has continued to improve, the marine industrial structure has been continuously optimized, and the marine economy has become an important component of the national economy. In 2025, China's gross ocean product exceeded 11 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%, accounting for 7.9% of GDP. Policy support and safeguards have been strengthened, with the formulation and issuance of key special plans related to the ocean for the 15th Five-Year Plan, and the introduction of a series of policy documents supporting the development of marine energy, marine biomedicine, and seawater desalination industries. Efforts have been made to build regional development engines, with "one province, one policy" supporting the building of maritime power provinces and modern marine cities.
Second, efforts have been accelerated to build a modern marine industrial system. The transformation of old and new growth drivers in China's marine industry has accelerated, with outstanding highlights in key areas. Marine fisheries, ships and offshore engineering equipment, offshore wind power, and other industries have firmly ranked among the world's forefront in terms of scale. The domestic production capacity of key equipment for marine energy has been continuously improved, with the megawatt-class tidal current energy generator set"Fenjin" (奋进号) and the floating wave energy device"Nankun" (南鲲号) having been connected to the grid for power generation. Seawater desalination has safeguarded the water needs of coastal industrial development and remote islands, with breakthroughs achieved in high-value utilization technologies such as lithium and uranium extraction from seawater. The marine biomedicine industry has made considerable progress, with independently developed marine drugs accounting for nearly 30% of globally marketed products.
Third, the capacity for independent innovation in marine science and technology has been continuously improved. China's independent innovation system for marine science and technology has been continuously improved, with the level of science and technology steadily rising. A number of major national equipment have been built, including the"Mengxiang" (梦想号) and the"Shenhai Yihao" (深海一号), with the"Jiaolong" (蛟龙号) and the"Fendouzhe" (奋斗者号) having jointly completed China's first manned deep-sea dive in the Arctic. The Qinling Station in Antarctica has risen on the ice sheet, and the hot-water ice drilling depth in Antarctica has broken an international record. Multiple national-level marine innovation platforms, including marine comprehensive test sites and engineering research centers, have been established, building platforms for collaborative research among industry, academia, and research. A"Blue Talent" special program has been implemented, gathering strategic scientists, national-level high-caliber talents, and young and middle-aged scientific research backbone, to build a world-class echeloned marine innovation team.
Fourth, the construction of marine ecological civilization has been continuously deepened. Multiple measures have been taken to promote marine ecological protection and restoration, consolidating the marine ecological security barrier. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the Ministry of Natural Resources has guided the implementation of 82 major marine ecological protection and restoration projects, driving the completion of remediation and restoration of 940 kilometers of coastline and over 55,000 hectares of coastal wetlands nationwide. Efforts have been strengthened to conserve and intensively utilize marine resources, actively promote the layered and three-dimensional utilization of sea areas, and fully safeguard the sea-use needs of major national projects.
Fifth, the depth and breadth of international cooperation in marine affairs have been continuously expanded. The blue partnership network has been continuously expanded, with China having signed marine cooperation agreements with more than 50 countries and international organizations, established more than 30 regional, bilateral, and multilateral cooperation centers, and implemented over a hundred"small but beautiful" practical cooperation projects. China has participated in international conferences such as the United Nations Ocean Conference, deeply engaging in global ocean governance.
Blaze a path of seeking strength from the sea with Chinese characteristics
The 15th Five-Year Plan period is a critical stage for China to transition from a major maritime country to a maritime power. We must use solid work and tangible results to promote the high-quality development of the marine economy, and strive to contribute to blazing a path of seeking strength from the sea with Chinese characteristics.
First, strengthen top-level design and policy support, and encourage and guide diversified investment in the development of the marine economy.

Case 1
Chinese wind turbines, advancing into the deep blue
Narrator: Deputy Chief Designer of the"Mingyang Tiancheng" (明阳天成号) Zhou Mingjun
More than 80% of the world's offshore wind energy is in the deep and distant seas. Fixed-foundation turbines cannot stand there. How can we utilize the wind energy of the deep and distant seas? If you can't stand, then float. A single turbine is six or seven stories tall. To make it generate electricity steadily at sea, not falling in wind and not sinking in waves, we placed two turbines on one floating platform, building the world's largest-capacity single floating platform.
The hardest part involved two challenges: first, the concrete floating body. Steel is too expensive, and ordinary concrete fears seawater. We pioneered ultra-high-performance concrete, with strength four times that of ordinary concrete, paired with an automatic wind-aligning single-point mooring system. Second, making the two rotors"not fight each other." The two rotors span 369 meters across, and wind speeds differ, causing the working conditions of the rotors to differ. We installed"three brains" on them to coordinate. After five years of overcoming challenges, the"Mingyang Tiancheng" has stood firm.
In September 2024, just after the"Mingyang Tiancheng" had completed mooring installation and commissioning in the Yangjiang sea area of Guangdong, super typhoon"Yagi" rapidly approached. The unit had not yet been energized, making it impossible to obtain fully continuous real-time monitoring data. I stayed in front of the screen, my heart hanging the whole time.
After the typhoon passed, we went to sea for inspection, and the"Mingyang Tiancheng" still stood steadily on the sea surface, with all components structurally intact, meeting design expectations. Since then, the"Mingyang Tiancheng" has withstood the practical tests of multiple typhoons, achieving non-sinking, non-falling, and non-drifting.
In 2022, the first commercial offshore wind farm in the Mediterranean was connected to the grid for power generation, capable of meeting the stable electricity needs of nearly 20,000 households each year. Together with our European partners, we collaborated throughout the entire process, from local adaptation of the turbines, installation and commissioning, to long-term operation and maintenance. Only when core technologies are firmly in our own hands do we have more confidence to go global. China's technology and experience have taken root in the Mediterranean, turning sea wind into tangible green electricity.
From Yangjiang to the Mediterranean, we are determined to write innovation on the deep blue sea.

Case 2
A single mussel, linking sea and land
Narrator: Ye Dingguo, mussel farmer of Lixi Village, Gouqi Township, Shengsi County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province
I have watched the sea of Gouqi Island for most of my life. For 44 years, ever since I entered the production team's aquaculture farm at age 15, I have never left.
In the early years, raising mussels was simply wrestling with God. When typhoons came, floating rafts and buoys were damaged in large numbers, and half a year of hard work was wiped out overnight. Even with favorable weather, we couldn't feel at ease, because market prices could plummet at any moment. The island's farmers each worked on their own, and bumper harvests without bumper incomes was a common occurrence.
Problems at sea, their roots are on shore. In 2012, I took the lead in establishing a cooperative, bringing scattered farmers together under a unified brand. After that, we did two things: first, we eliminated the highly polluting foam buoys. We visited several plastics factories, drew our own blueprints, tested materials, and developed new environmentally friendly buoys and boat bottom plates; second, we promoted standardized aquaculture, with all raft information entered into the Gouqi Township digital aquaculture management platform, making farmers' data clear at a glance and controlling quality from the source. In 2024, the county carried out the first batch of talent evaluation and certification for marine aquaculture personnel, and I was rated as a senior aquaculture master, recognized as a Category U talent of the county, enjoying policies such as technical training and credit support. With equipment upgrades and scale expansion, my confidence to work has grown even stronger.
Scientific and technological forces on shore have also been continuously invested into the sea. Experts from Zhejiang Ocean University and Shanghai Ocean University came, building laboratories by the seaside. We provided boats and labor, cooperating in seawater testing and sample collection, and in return gained the implementation of new technologies such as triploid breeding and artificial marine upwelling devices.
With technology empowerment, our ability to resist risks has also been strengthened. Before typhoons arrive, the early warning platform pushes information in advance, telling us what to harvest and what to secure. Coupled with mussel aquaculture insurance, individuals only need to pay 25% of the premium, with the rest subsidized by governments at all levels.
In recent years, the county has developed deep processing of mussels, with a series of products such as quick-frozen mussels successively hitting the market. In the past, we sold raw materials; now, with automated sorting, mussels over 9 centimeters are made into"butterfly mussel kings," with one commanding the price of a whole catty in the past.
The sea sustains people, and the"brain" on shore sustains the sea. This is my understanding of land-sea coordination.

Case 3
Protecting the sea and revitalizing the village, a wasteland's transformation
Narrator: Gu Dongju, Party branch secretary of Haifeng Village, Tongzhou Bay Jianghai Linkage Development Demonstration Zone, Jiangsu Province
I am a native of Haifeng Village. The sea before us has changed, and the people in the village have changed, too. When I was a child, the tidal flat was a food field that our fathers' generation carried on their shoulders; now, this sea has become a"cornucopia" in our hands, relying on the rules of protecting the sea and the industries of revitalizing the sea.
More than 50 years ago, this place was still saline-alkali wasteland, where nothing would grow. My father's generation, relying on their shoulders to carry mud and dig ditches to drain salt, shovel by shovel and basket by basket, worked for nearly two decades before turning the wasteland into mature farmland. At that time, our thoughts were simple, just hoping the land could grow grain, so that the family could have enough to eat.
But relying on brute force alone to demand grain from the wasteland, life ultimately remained tight. In the 1980s, villagers followed the trend and began raising hard clams. Everyone thought that by investing more seedlings and more feed, they would get good harvests. But being too hasty and too aggressive backfired. Feed couldn't keep up, diseases followed, hard-earned money was lost, and the nearshore tidal flats also suffered.
Having suffered losses and stumbled, people gradually began to come around. Relying on the sea and eating from the sea, we cannot only think about"eating," but also think about how to"nurture." Once the reasoning was clear, the path became clear, too. The village established rules for sea area management and protection, arranged dedicated personnel to patrol the sea every day, and put an end to indiscriminate farming and fishing. At the same time, we converted over a thousand mu of saline-alkali land to grow pumpkins and soybeans, giving the sea some relief.
Protect the sea with sincerity, and the sea will repay you. Now the water quality of nearshore waters is getting better and better, the quality of seafood has improved, and selling prices have risen accordingly. Relying on scientific and standardized farming methods, farmers can harvest 8,000 jin of seafood in a single tide, with market prices stable at 15 to 18 yuan per jin, with stable returns and low risks, bidding farewell to the days of blind farming and losses.
Relying on the port advantages of Tongzhou Bay, we have connected with surrounding enterprises and industrial parks, helping young people and people in difficulty find employment nearby. From"going down to the sea to chase the tide" to"port-side manufacturing," the output value of a single piece of heavy marine equipment equals the harvest of thousands of mu of tidal flats in the past.
Seeking strength from the sea is the duty of us people living by the sea.

The Dabie Mountains rise in towering peaks and overlapping ridges, winding mountain roads threading through every village and hamlet of Qingshi Town, Qichun County, Huanggang City, Hubei Province, where the Gaitian Campus of Qingshi Experimental Primary School lies quietly in Zhangfan Village amid the mountains. Song Linlin, a 39-year-old teacher, stood on the campus, gazing with gentle eyes at the children running and playing on the playground.
The school's more than 300 students come from eight surrounding administrative villages, and most of them are left-behind children. In the classroom, Song Linlin has taught nearly every subject — Chinese, mathematics, English, science, music, art, psychology, and more; outside the classroom, she combs the children's hair, sews their clothes, teaches them to fold quilts and scrub shoes, earning her the title of "mother" in her students' eyes.
Song Linlin herself was once a left-behind child. She was born in a small mountain village in Xiangqiao Township, Qichun County. When she was young, her parents and her uncle and aunt went out to work as migrant laborers, leaving her grandparents to care for her, her younger sister, her younger male and female cousins — five children in all — at home. Back then, what she looked forward to most was the family reunion every Spring Festival. Every time her parents came home, they first took a long-distance bus from the place they worked to the county seat, then transferred to a mid-sized bus to the town, and finally took a three-wheeled vehicle from the town to the village entrance. After the minor festival of the Lunar New Year, Song Linlin and her younger sister would wait at the village entrance every day; if they didn't spot them that day, they would come back the next. After Spring Festival passed, her parents would have to go out to work again, and she and her sister would chase after the vehicle, crying and shouting…
In 2007, Song Linlin was admitted to Huanggang Normal University, majoring in animation design. In her junior year, several senior schoolmates who had taught as volunteer teachers in rural areas came back to the university to give presentations. Song Linlin listened to their stories of participating in rural education, was deeply moved, and resolved that she too would return to the countryside to become a teacher. After graduating from university in 2011, she became a teacher at Tanlin Middle School in Tanlin Village, Qichun County, teaching English and art.
Many of the children's homes were scattered in remote mountain hollows, far away, yet Song Linlin persisted in climbing over mountains and ridges to make home visits. Xiaoxia (pseudonym),,a second-year junior high student, was always glum and absent-minded in class. After Song Linlin visited her home, she learned that Xiaoxia's father was chronically bedridden, and the family also had younger siblings and an 80-plus-year-old grandmother. The family's difficult circumstances made Xiaoxia worry that she might not be able to continue her schooling.
Song Linlin immediately took several hundred yuan from her own salary to support Xiaoxia, and even rode a bicycle four hours to the county seat to buy study materials for her, encouraging her to focus on her studies. In the final exam, Xiaoxia's English score improved from an initial 40 or 50 points to over 90. After leaving Tanlin Middle School, Song Linlin kept in touch with Xiaoxia and continued to support her schooling. Today, Xiaoxia has graduated from Wuhan College of Arts and Sciences and works as a nurse at a Grade III Level A hospital in Wuhan.
In 2012, Song Linlin came to Chen'ao Primary School in Qingshi Town, where conditions were even harder. The school then had 500 students but only 22 teachers; whichever subject was short-staffed, Song Linlin had to fill in. Transportation in the mountains was inconvenient, and older students all had to board at school, so Song Linlin's dormitory became their second classroom after school — every evening it was packed with children doing homework. When chairs and desks were insufficient, everyone simply sat on the floor and used cardboard boxes as desks. These fine, lingering threads of warmth gradually soothed the loneliness in the left-behind children's hearts.
Song Linlin kept raising the bar for herself. In 2014, she was admitted to an in-service graduate program in education at Hubei University, and in June 2017 she successfully obtained her master's degree.
In 2020, as four teaching sites around Qingshi Town were merged into the Gaitian Campus of Qingshi Experimental Primary School, Song Linlin was transferred from Chen'ao Primary School to that campus and became a homeroom teacher, teaching Chinese, English, and art. Over her many years of teaching, she has come to feel deeply that to help left-behind children grow, one must pay even more attention to nurturing their hearts. "They lack companionship, and some children even develop emotions such as autism and depression. I hope that through psychological counseling, I can help the children learn to express their emotions and become more sunny and confident."
Empathy turned into responsibility, and she began systematically studying psychology. In 2022, she obtained a psychological counselor certificate. Song Linlin paid out of her own pocket to convert her office into a warm counseling room, with the walls covered in the children's paintings. Every recess, children would come knocking on her door to talk with her — some simply wanted to chat with her, while others handed her small notes filled with their worries.
At the end of 2020, Song Linlin was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, and the school specially reduced her workload. When the children learned that Song Linlin was ill, they one after another brought their pocket money to school, wanting to donate it to cure their teacher. They wrote her letters, asking whether she had taken her medicine on time and urging her to go to bed early every day. While actively undergoing treatment, Song Linlin also applied online for public-welfare courses such as poetry classes and mental-health classes, using class-meeting periods and after-class time to teach her students.
Today, Song Linlin's condition is relatively stable. "Every day I have now is borrowed — I must race against the clock to do more for the children." Over the past two summer vacations, she has successively taken six students to Wuhan for urban study-tour activities. The children took the subway for the first time, visited museums, and saw the Yangtze River Bridge; the light in their eyes made Song Linlin feel that every effort was worthwhile.
Over more than a decade, generation after generation of students has walked out of the mountains. "Teacher Song gave me the courage to face life and made me more resilient in the face of setbacks and difficulties," said Wen Tingxia, a student at Wuhan University who once studied at Chen'ao Primary School.
To better sum up the bits and pieces of rural education, Song Linlin has kept a daily education journal since 2019, writing more than 2,700 entries over more than seven years. "I once walked through every village in the mountains to make home visits, and on countless nights walked along mountain paths holding a flashlight. Looking back today, this is the most moving chapter in the epic of my life." In one journal entry, she wrote these words.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: "Optimize the layout, structure, functions, and systems integration of infrastructure, and build a modern infrastructure system." The meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held on April 28 this year pointed out that efforts should be strengthened in the planning and construction of water networks, new-type power grids, computing power networks, new-generation communication networks, urban underground pipeline networks, and logistics networks. The "six networks" play a fundamental, pioneering, and strategic role, and and the coordination of the "six networks" will powerfully promote the expansion of domestic demand and the smooth flow of the economic cycle. China Southern Power Grid Company has thoroughly implemented the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, promoting the coordinated development of the "six networks" through the construction of the new-type power grid, providing strong support for the construction of a modern and powerful country.
Give play to the leading role of coordination among the "six networks" and build a modern infrastructure system
The "six networks" are the core skeleton of the modern infrastructure system, and the integrated and fused development of the modern infrastructure system driven by the coordination of the "six networks" will become an important engine for modernization construction
The coordination of the "six networks" has strategic significance. It centrally embodies the organic unity of economic, social, ecological, and security benefits. It amplifies the effects of stabilizing growth and expanding domestic demand, promotes precise project layout, concentrated resource leverage, and industrial linkage through coordination, achieving the optimal balance of investment benefits, industrial benefits, and growth benefits of infrastructure construction. It enhances the quality and efficiency of benefiting people's livelihoods and increasing welfare, promotes functional complementarity among multiple networks, business coordination, and resource sharing through coordination, achieving the optimal combination of convenience, reliability, and inclusiveness of infrastructure services. It forms a joint force for promoting transformation and strengthening momentum, promotes the intelligent, green, and integrated development of traditional industries through coordination, giving birth to the optimal matching of new business forms, new models, and new industries in infrastructure operation. It builds a barrier for preventing risks and consolidating bottom lines, promotes through coordination the construction of an infrastructure risk prevention and control system with the optimal integration of perception capability, early warning capability, and control capability
The coordination of the "six networks" has a solid foundation. Although the "six networks" are heterogeneous systems, they share common internal mechanisms and foundations. In terms of network form, they possess wide-area connectivity; the "six networks" are all composed of nodes, channels, and networks, presenting typical economies of scale and agglomeration effects, and possessing the connection foundation for interconnection and intercommunication. In terms of carrier layout, they possess spatial correlation;the land, corridors, station sites, pipeline positions, and other spatial resources relied upon by the construction of the "six networks" are nested with each other, possessing the integration foundation for joint construction and shared use. In terms of functional operation, they possess operational coordination;core elements such as water, electricity, computing, communication, pipelines, and logistics circulate across networks, with functions supporting each other, possessing the empowerment foundation for complementarity and efficiency enhancement. In terms of technical systems, they possess compatibility and adaptability;digitalization and intelligence are the evolutionary direction of the "six networks," which deeply rely on common technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, possessing the technical foundation for iterative co-evolution. In terms of landing application, they possess scenario commonality;the service scenarios of the "six networks" are highly overlapping, and scenarios such as industrial upgrading, urban governance, green transformation, and emergency support require the superposition of functions from multiple networks, possessing the application foundation for coordinated implementation
Grasp the underlying logic of the coordination of the "six networks" and strive to enhance the effectiveness of integrated development
The coordination of the "six networks" is in essence the coupling and coordination of heterogeneous systems, which contains clear systemic logic, technological logic, value logic, and governance logic
Based on mechanism research, innovate coordination models. The mechanism of resource circulation, through the transformation of factor utilization forms, structural combination, and cross-domain reconfiguration, achieves the efficient flow of energy flows, information flows, and material flows in time and space. The mechanism of functional interaction, through basic functional support, professional functional complementarity, and composite functional superposition, achieves the development from single functions to integrated functions. The mechanism of value transmission, through value coordination enhancement and value empowerment creation, achieves the shift from single-network value accumulation to multi-network value aggregation. The mechanism of technical support, through technology reuse, technology compatibility, and technology linkage, achieves the cross-network application and integration of common technologies
With technical consensus as the core, connect the coordination paths. The physical layer focuses on strengthening unified spatial planning, interface connectivity and adaptation, and major project linkage, achieving compatible docking, spatial sharing, and linked operation among the networks. The data layer focuses on opening up the chain of data perception, exchange, aggregation, and application, achieving trusted circulation, secure sharing, and cross-domain empowerment of data among the networks. The rule layer focuses on building technical standards and management norms covering the entire cycle of planning, construction, and operation, achieving mutual recognition, interoperability, compatibility, and iteration among the technical paradigms of the networks
With scenario co-construction as the starting point, verify the value of coordination. Taking the new-type power grid as an example, the coordination between the power grid and the water network highlights coordination through intelligent dispatch, focusing on green scenarios to explore "determining electricity by water, regulating water by electricity";the coordination between the power grid and the computing power network highlights coordination through energy conservation and carbon reduction, focusing on demonstration scenarios to explore "strengthening computing by electricity, promoting electricity by computing";the coordination between the power grid and the communication network highlights coordination through digital interaction, focusing on digital scenarios to explore "ensuring communication by electricity, strengthening communication by electricity";the coordination between the power grid and the urban underground pipeline network highlights coordination through urban renewal, focusing on intensive scenarios to explore "shared use of utility corridors, joint maintenance of pipelines";the coordination between the power grid and the logistics network highlights coordination through transportation-energy integration, focusing on ecological scenarios to explore "integration of transportation and energy, bidirectional interaction"
With mechanism construction as the guarantee, support long-term coordination. Strengthen the combined matching of timeliness, intensity, and effectiveness, improve the multi-network joint planning mechanism, strengthen scientific coordination in spatial layout, physical interfaces, construction sequencing, etc., forming a coordinated development pattern with optimal effectiveness. Strengthen the full-chain connection of investment, construction, and operation, embed the requirements of multi-network coordination into the entire life cycle of infrastructure, forming a normalized co-governance mechanism of cross-network joint planning, shared resources, joint project construction, joint scenario expansion, and joint standard establishment. Strengthen the design of responsibility, authority, and benefit mechanisms, establish mechanisms such as multi-party coordinated investment, fair cost sharing, and reasonable value distribution, forming a sound coordination ecosystem with clear rights and responsibilities and inclusive sharing
Based on the hub positioning of the coordination of the "six networks," accelerate the construction of the new-type power grid
The new-type power grid is a common resource supply platform with the energy foundation as its core, and a personalized resource interaction platform based on the data foundation, possessing important connectivity and empowerment effects. China Southern Power Grid Company will adhere to the principle of optimal social benefits, take green and low-carbon development as the guide, technological innovation as the driver, market operation as the path, and safe development as the foundation, accelerate the construction of a new-type power grid, and support the coordinated development of the "six networks"
Build a strong new architecture for the new-type power grid to support the deep interconnection and intercommunication of the "six networks." Lead the coordinated layout with a flexible main grid, align with top-level plans such as territorial space, urban renewal, and industrial development, accelerate the construction of flexible interconnected backbone grid structures, and lead the multi-network coordinated layout with key elements such as power supply and green resources. Carry coordinated elements with a resilient distribution network, build a new-type distribution system with high reliability and high carrying capacity, fully adapt to the access needs of multi-network core hubs, key nodes, and other facilities, forming a high-level cross-domain security interaction capability. Expand the boundaries of coordination with flexible microgrids, build intelligent microgrids in light of local conditions, adapt to the differentiated energy consumption needs and diversified linkage demands of multi-network terminal scenarios
Break through new technologies for the new-type power grid to empower the joint iterative upgrading of the "six networks." Accelerate technological research breakthroughs, deepen research on technologies such as multi-energy coordinated dispatch, cross-network data fusion, and heterogeneous system coupling, accelerate the maturation and verification of cross-network integration technologies, and systematically output solutions for software and hardware equipment, engineering integration, etc. Accelerate the digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading, upgrade the digital power grid into a coordination foundation, promote the large-scale application of "Power Harmony" (电力鸿蒙) IoT terminals, build an industry-trusted data space with high standards, support the observability, measurability, data co-integration, and sharing of multi-network states. Strengthen the construction of the standardization system, jointly improve coordination standards with the industrial chain covering planning and construction, technical interfaces, pilot verification, data sharing, etc., unify operation mechanisms such as multi-network linked dispatch, and improve long-term institutional support
Upgrade new services for the new-type power grid to release the value of the coordination and empowerment of the "six networks." Empower the green development of multiple networks with low-carbon energy consumption, strengthen the coordinated layout of green power supply with advanced manufacturing, computing power, logistics, etc., optimize special services such as green power resource aggregation, traceability certification, and energy efficiency optimization, and promote the optimization of energy consumption structures. Empower the value realization of multiple networks with the unified market, actively integrate into the national unified electricity market, fully realize the official operation of the southern regional electricity market, innovate cross-category trading models, explore market models for coordinated pricing, and promote the efficient allocation of the resources of the "six networks" under the model of the unified national market. Give birth to a multi-network coordination ecosystem with integrated fusion, explore the joint construction of a "six networks" coordination management platform, highlight the guiding role of "dual carbon," iteratively upgrade the electricity-carbon-computing coordinated operation system, cultivate and expand new business forms such as multi-network interconnection, multi-station integration, and vehicle-grid interaction, and promote the formation of a more vibrant and valuable industrial ecosystem

The National Day holiday is approaching. What points of attention should be noted when taking children on a self-driving trip?
Do not hold a child in one's arms while riding. "When a vehicle brakes suddenly or is involved in a collision, the impact force is great, and a child can easily slip out of one's arms, and may also be crushed by an adult's out-of-control body, causing secondary injury." Zhou Chenfeng (deputy squadron leader of the Third Squadron of the Traffic Command Brigade of the Traffic Management Detachment of the Dongguan Municipal Public Security Bureau, Guangdong Province) reminded that the correct approach is to have the child sit in a fixed child safety seat in the rear row, and never hold a child in one's arms while riding just because the child is crying.
Do not feed children while riding. Zhou Chenfeng reminded that jelly, preserved plums, nuts, hard candy, and small round fruits are especially dangerous — a bump, a sudden brake, can all cause food in a child's mouth to slip into the airway, triggering choking. Foods with sticks or skewers, such as lollipops, candied haws on sticks, and grilled sausages, should also be avoided when feeding children in the car; in an emergency, these sharp, hard objects can all become weapons that injure children.
Do not leave children alone in the car. "Although the weather is getting cooler, under direct sunlight the temperature inside a sealed car can soar, and in severe cases can cause a child to suffer oxygen deprivation or heatstroke, endangering life. Children are young, and face sudden situations they have no ability to save themselves; at no time, for no reason, can a child be left alone in the car, and when leaving the vehicle one must be sure to check the rear seat." Zhou Chenfeng said.

In September, in Nanhu Village, the camellia flowers have not yet bloomed, but the entire village has already been waiting for a long time.
In the old teahouse converted from the village committee office building, village Party branch secretary Chen Sihan picked up a call from a villager: "When does filming start?" The second "village drama," Chen Camellia, is being prepared; after Frost's Descent, when the mountain camellias bloom and the tea seeds are stored, the crew will start filming again.
Nanhu Village is located in Dongdu Town, Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province. The entire village has more than 8,700 mu of mountain forest, one-third of which is oil-tea camellia trees; the mountain camellia flower is a "business card" here.
In the 1960s and 1970s, camellia oil was a "hard currency." Old village Party branch secretary Ma Songchun recalled:"At that time we were a well-known in the surrounding area (远近闻名, yuan jin wen ming - "far, near, hear, famous") wealthy village." With industrial development, substitutes for camellia oil increased, plus the village only had one narrow vehicle lane, transportation was limited, and camellia oil gradually could not "get out" anymore.
Starting in the 1990s, young people went out to work in cities one after another, and a village of more than 1,000 people was left with only about 400 permanent residents. The camellia flowers covering the mountains and fields (漫山遍野, man shan bian ye - "full, mountain, every, field") bloomed year after year, but few people came to appreciate them.
Chen Sihan and the village's two committee teams repeatedly calculated and discussed: where exactly was the way out? The village had no industry and poor transportation, but it had two "old assets" — century-old tea trees and old houses throughout the village. Relying on the mountains to eat off the mountains would no longer work; they had to change their approach.
In autumn 2025, photography enthusiast Hu Guiqing came to Nanhu Village to gather material. Those old houses, old oil presses, and old teahouses in the village were all scenery in his eyes. "Short dramas are so popular now — why doesn't the village film one?" he said.
"If we film a drama, won't more people get to know Nanhu Village?" Chen Sihan began to entertain the idea.
After some deliberation, everyone decided to go ahead. For a full week, the village Party branch convened Party members and villager representatives for big meetings, repeatedly discussing what to film, who would film it, and where the money would come from. "The camellia flower is a ready-made story," Chen Sihan said. "Our for generations through time (祖祖辈辈, zu zu bei bei - "ancestor, ancestor, generation, generation") have relied on it to make a living — why can't we rely on it to become famous?"
Led by the Dongdu Town Party member cadre skills team, screenwriting, props, and lighting were all fully supported. Three successive village Party branch secretaries took the lead in accepting roles, all village cadres came on board; villagers actively performed, and every household (家家户户, jia jia hu hu - "family, family, household, household") rummaged through their trunks to find props; women pulled out old clothes, assembling more than 500 pieces of costumesthe village committee office building was arranged into a filming location...
At the end of October 2025, Nanhu Village's first "village drama," A Fine Camellia Flower, began filming. The story using local resources or materials (就地取材, jiu di qu cai - "at the spot, take, material"), with the camellia flowers covering the mountains and fields as the main thread, telling the love story of Chen Chahua, an actress of the Wu Opera troupe in the 1970s. Hu Guiqing served as director, Chen Sihan played the female lead, and volunteer Qiu Liang, who regularly gave free haircuts to village elders, played the male lead. More than 50 extras were all villagers; sometimes they were still working in the mountains, and the next moment they dropped their hoes and stepped in front of the camera.
"We filmed for two months, adjusting and performing as we went." Hu Guiqing said that once the first 12 episodes went online, views broke through 300,000.
The camellia flowers here really were seen by more people this time. Everyone learned that Jinyun had a Nanhu Village, and that the village had century-old camellia trees. "'The village drama' drove sales of camellia oil by more than 10,000 kilograms, and villagers' incomes increased by more than 1 million yuan." Chen Sihan said.
Old crafts also gained fame through the short drama. Villager Ma Liangang's hand-woven bamboo chairs and bamboo stools appeared in the drama, and as a result he received quite a few orders from elsewhere. Tourists also followed the short drama into the village, watching the "village drama," buying mountain products — the formerly quiet small village became lively.
Zheng Yihong, who acted in the "village drama," also grows more than ten mu of camellia trees at home; shortly after the first drama finished filming, her family's camellia oil was completely sold out. "Before, we looked for customers; now, customers look for us." She was laughing so hard one cannot close their mouth (笑得合不拢嘴, xiao de he bu long zui - "laugh, particle, not, able, close, mouth").
This May, the teaser for Chen Camellia began filming. This time, graduates of the Shanghai Theatre Academy joined, and there would also be an original theme song. Building on the momentum of the first "village drama," the village applied for and obtained the county's "Oil-Tea Camellia Common Prosperity Workshop" project; renovation of the old oil press is underway, and a space for displaying agricultural products is being built. The town has also planned for Nanhu a high-quality cultural tourism route combining "hiking + 'village drama' + camellia oil experience."
While the crew was filming, an old grandmother laughed at the camera, and that string of laughter was cut into the blooper reel; many people said, "Hearing it makes you want to laugh along." Chen Sihan felt that this was exactly the meaning of Nanhu Village filming a "village drama": "We don't lack resources, we don't lack stories — we just lack a chance to be seen. The camellia flowers have always been there; it was the camera that let people see them anew."
Busy seasons spent planting tea, idle seasons spent acting — the villagers' days, frame by frame, are becoming wonderful.

Walking into the Laiyi Lake Fishery in Xinquan Township, Xiangyin County, Hunan, a vivid picture of smart aquaculture comes into view (映入眼帘, ying ru yan lian - "reflect, enter, eye, view"): wind-powered bait feeders hum as they operate, automatic fish-loading conveyors carry fish onto live-fish transport trucks, waiting to be shipped to markets inside and outside the province and onto the dining tables of ordinary households.
As one of the nation's top 100 fishery counties and a national commercial fish production base county, Xiangyin has an aquaculture area of 308,000 mu. Yet behind its abundant water resources, the shortcomings of traditional farming models are becoming increasingly prominent: the level of intelligent mechanization is low, and dredging, grass cutting, and disease prevention and control all rely on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency.
In July 2025, Xiangyin's fishery industry saw a turning point. With the promotion of Samsung China and the China Foundation for Rural Development, the "Samsung China Science and Technology New Agricultural Machinery Project" was implemented in Xiangyin. The project takes the Laiyi Lake Healthy Aquaculture Farmers' Cooperative in Xiangyin County as its cultivation entity, carrying out agricultural machinery upgrading, demonstration, and promotion tailored to local fishery farming characteristics, and has organized a fishery socialized service team to provide farmers with comprehensive technical support and professional services. Through machinery upgrades, facility renovation, and improvements in farming models, the average yield per mu at Laiyi Lake Fishery has doubled compared with ten years ago.
"The project is not simply 'donating equipment,' but rather exploring a path in the aquaculture sector of 'science and technology new agricultural machinery assistance + cultivation of new business entities + training of new farmers,'" said Feng Zhongde, director of the Industrial Development Project Department of the China Foundation for Rural Development.
Since the project was implemented, donated funds have been used to procure 24 units (sets) of fishery farming equipment, including automatic fish-loading conveyors, pesticide-spraying drones, intelligent aerators, and dredging robots.
Taking aeration equipment as an example, the impeller-type and paddlewheel-type aerators commonly used in the past had high power consumption, high noise levels, and required frequent replacement. Wu Qianguo, captain of the fishery socialized service team, said: "After switching to intelligent aerators, we can see the operating status of the aerators through our mobile phones. If the data does not meet standards, an early warning message is sent immediately, which puts our minds at ease."
A key link in promoting the effective integration of farming households with modern agriculture is cultivating a strong new business entity.
At the Laiyi Lake Modern Fishery Comprehensive Service Center in Xiangyin County, the technical team hired by the cooperative is operating experimental equipment, monitoring fish pond water quality, analyzing physical and chemical indicators of finished fish, and testing residual microorganisms, doing things in an orderly fashion (有条不紊, you tiao bu wen - "have, order, not, chaos").
At Laiyi Lake Fishery, fish ponds are mainly contracted by small and medium-sized farming households. Some farmers had been reluctant to purchase new agricultural machinery because of the small scale of their contracts, and the establishment of the fishery socialized service team effectively resolved this bottleneck. The cooperative has uniformly set fee standards for operational services such as drone pest control, grass cutting, and dredging, and farmers can choose order-based services or trusteeship-based services according to their own circumstances. Most of the income generated is invested in public affairs expenditures and reproduction in the following year, and at the end of the year, part of the income is also used for dividend distribution to cooperative farmers. To date, the service team's coverage has extended to 5,000 mu of fish ponds, benefiting more than 280 farming households in surrounding townships, with an average annual income increase of 3,000 yuan per household.
"The project is intended to support agricultural modernization. We hope to improve the quality and yield of agricultural products through new agricultural machinery and help farmers increase their incomes," said Zhang Jian, deputy general manager of Samsung China.
At present, the project has covered Xiangyin County, Shulan City in Jilin, Li County in Gansu, and other areas, supporting different business forms including rice cultivation, apple planting, and aquaculture. As of August this year, the project has cumulatively provided 251 units (sets) of various agricultural machinery, trained 1,418 new farmers, and achieved service operation revenue of 2.92 million yuan.
Return to TopA single display panel links materials R&D, panel manufacturing, and smart terminals, stringing together an industrial scale of nearly one hundred billion yuan; a single scientific research achievement, after validation and pilot testing, moves to the production line, releasing value in market application; a single urban block, in its renewal, integrates cultural experience, commercial services, and public life, nurturing new development opportunities.
In Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, technology and industry promote each other, innovation and life intermingle, and the space for enterprises and the city to grow together continuously expands.
Recently, the 2026 Nuclear Technology Application and Nuclear Medicine Industry Innovation and Development Conference and the China (Mianyang) Science and Technology City Investment Project Centralized Promotion Conference have landed in succession, and Mianyang continues to showcase its industrial foundation, innovation resources, and urban development potential, embracing new opportunities with all parties and sharing the Science and Technology City.
From scientific research resources to manufacturing capacity, from industrial supporting facilities to urban services, Mianyang is transforming its development advantages, industrial opportunities, and resource endowments into more concrete space for cooperation, letting enterprises find partners, letting technology find applications, letting investment find direction.
Forming a powerful industrial cluster through chain-based integration (聚链成势, ju lian cheng shi - "gather, chains, become, momentum") Sharing New Industrial Opportunities
Mianyang has a complete industrial system and a solid industrial foundation. The five major distinctive and advantageous industries of electronic information, advanced materials, equipment manufacturing, energy and chemicals, and food and light textiles are being upgraded and strengthened, and it has already cultivated and formed 8 national-level industrial clusters and16 provincial-level industrial clusters. Mianyang systematically constructs the"587+"modern industrial system, advances the building of circles and strengthening of chains for key industries, letting manufacturing industry accumulation andemerging industry demand accelerate their connection.
Industrial advantages continue to amplify in chain-based agglomeration. Taking the new display industry as an example, upstream there are material supporting enterprises such as Corning Glass and Longhua Optoelectronics, midstream there are panel enterprises such as BOE and HKC, downstream there are terminal enterprises such as Changhong and Shirun, with31 enterprises above designated size, achieving an output value of 93.94 billion yuan in2025. From materials to panels, from complete machines to applications, supporting supplies can be obtained nearby, making cooperation more convenient.
Advantageous industries extend toward the high end, and distinctive tracks accelerate their growth.
In the field of artificial intelligence, Mianyang has gathered AI chain-leading enterprises such as Changhong, Jiuzhou, Youliqi, and Tianlian, and has built the first provincial-level embodied intelligent robot training ground in the western region; in the field of low-altitude economy, guided by the"One City, One Highland, One Center" of Photon Science and Technology Innovation City, the Low-Altitude Security Highland, and the Low-Altitude Equipment Inspection, Testing, and Certification Center, it is accelerating the construction of a closed-loop ecological system covering the entire chain of R&D, manufacturing, operation, and service;in the field of aerospace, the"Mianyang Constellation" has successfully completed its networking, andthe first liquid rocket engine test stand in the southwestern region has been completed andput into operation;in the field of medicine andhealth, with nuclear medicine as the focus, it is building a full industry chain running through medical isotope production, radiopharmaceutical R&D, nuclear medical equipment manufacturing, and clinical application promotion;in the field of communications andquantum technology, more than10 key products such as IoT wireless communication modules all rank first in domestic market share, andit has taken the lead in building the first city-level quantum metropolitan area network in the southwestern region, with space for cooperation continuously being released.
From R&D, manufacturing, to application, Mianyang's industrial opportunities lie precisely in these visible and connectable chains and tracks.
Promoting Innovation Through Entrepreneurship Sharing New Space for Scientific Innovation
The Science and Technology City is Mianyang's distinctive hallmark.
Mianyang has20 national-level major research institutes andacademies, with R&D expenditure intensity ranking among the forefront nationally. How can scientific research accumulation become innovation resources usable by enterprises? Mianyang systematically advances this through platform support, mechanism matching, pilot-scale maturation, financial empowerment, and regional collaboration forms.

On the evening of September 28, the track and field events of this Asian Games entered their penultimate competition day. In the women's discus throw final, Chinese team athlete Feng Bin secured her second consecutive Asian Games title with a final throw of 63.83 meters. "Although I am 32 years old and have injuries, what cannot defeat me will only make me stronger!" Feng Bin said.
Standing on the 100-meter final track, 33-year-old Xie Zhenye remarked with emotion that his teammates had all been "updated" to the post-2005 generation. From the 2010 Youth Olympic Games to the present, he has won a World Championship silver medal and an Olympic bronze medal, and set the Asian record in the men's 200 meters. "In the past, seniors guided me; now I guide the newcomers. I hope they learn the strengths and improve upon the shortcomings—that is my greatest value." Xie Zhenye said.
The same perseverance is also embodied in 31-year-old swimmer Xu Jiayu. Competing in his fourth Asian Games and bringing his personal Asian Games gold medal total to 15, Xu Jiayu has become the Chinese team athlete with the most Asian Games gold medals. He said he hopes that with outstanding results and a fighting spirit, he can let everyone see directly that veterans can still "fight." At these Asian Games, he broke the meet record in the men's 100-meter backstroke, swimming the fastest time in Asia this year.
Beneath this perseverance, experience is being passed on silently. 26-year-old shooting athlete Jiang Ranxin has embarked on her second Asian Games campaign. As an Olympic champion from Tokyo, she is already the "veteran" of the team. In the women's 10-meter air pistol team final at these Asian Games, she worked together with great chemistry** (配合默契, pei he mo qi - "coordinate, tacitly understood")** with Shen Yiyao and Yao Qianxun, helping the Chinese team successfully defend its title. Facing her young teammates, Jiang Ranxin encouraged them: "Communicate with each other during training, be reliable partners during competition, and let everyone improve together."
In the weightlifting team, this kind of inheritance is equally moving. In the men's 85-kilogram category competition, Chen Shunnan, a young Chinese team athlete competing in his first Asian Games, won a bronze medal. After the competition, he said with emotion:"I am grateful that Brother Dahua has always encouraged me and promptly reminded and corrected the shortcomings in my training." The "Brother Dahua" he spoke of is Liu Huanhua, the only Olympic champion among the Chinese men's weightlifting team's roster at these Asian Games.
The value of veterans lies even more in "on-site demonstration."
In the women's synchronized 3-meter springboard final, Chen Yiwen and Chen Jia won the title with 328.56 points, and the Chinese team achieved a seventh consecutive Asian Games championship in this event. Chen Yiwen is a double gold medalist from the Paris Olympics, and Chen Jia belongs to the post-2000 generation. The two have been partners since 2025 and won the World Championship title in their very first year together. Chen Yiwen said:"In major competitions, veterans must use their experience to steady the rhythm and bring their partner along to find their form together." In synchronized events, the old lead the new; when veterans retire, new athletes become veterans, and through this continuous succession, the diving team's healthy competitive ecosystem is built.
The Chinese men's gymnastics team delivered a report card of 5 golds and 1 bronze at these Asian Games, achieving a third consecutive team title. Captain Zhang Boheng had suffered an arm strain before the competition, yet still bravely shouldered the heavy burden—"his facial expressions were numb when performing movements, and by the parallel bars he could no longer summon strength." Inspired by their captain, teammates Zou Jingyuan, Lan Xingyu, and Tian Hao won gold medals in the parallel bars, rings, and horizontal bar respectively. Lan Xingyu said:"The captain played an important leading role."
In team events, veterans are even more needed to play an exemplary role. As one of the three over-age players on China's U23 men's football team at the Asian Games, 37-year-old Wu Xi started in all four matches. As the captain on the field, Wu Xi's passing and ball distribution on the front line effectively organized China's attacks, playing a role in stabilizing the entire team. Wu Xi said:"It has been a great joy to fight side by side with these young players. The team reaching the semifinals is an affirmation of everyone's efforts."

Return to TopOn September 18, a symposium on promoting the high-quality development of Chongqing's motorcycle industry was held in Liangjiang New Area. Experts and scholars from research institutes and universities, as well as representatives of complete-vehicle enterprises, component suppliers, and industry associations, gathered together in one place (齐聚一堂, qi ju yi tang - "gather, together, one, hall"), to discuss improving quality in building the "Chongqing Motorcycle One-Hour Industrial Circle."
Improving quality in building the "Chongqing Motorcycle One-Hour Industrial Circle" aims to promote the upgrading and more efficient coordination of complete-vehicle and component enterprises within the main urban metropolitan area. To this end, Chongqing is accelerating the construction of an "Electric Motorcycle Industry Brain," which will be supported by artificial intelligence, promoting the integration of the "four chains" of the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, and talent chain, and achieving coordination across the "four sides" of the enterprise side, industry side, government side, and society side.
Building an "Industry Brain" to Support Industrial Development
From vehicle technology to battery technology, from product safety to industrial safety, Chongqing possesses a complete motorcycle industry foundation and already has the conditions to support the upgrading of the motorcycle industry toward electrification and intelligent connectivity, and is accelerating the building of an electric motorcycle industry cluster.
For Chongqing to achieve new-direction development of its motorcycle industry and transform and soar to new heights (蝶变腾飞, die bian teng fei -"butterfly, change, soar, fly"),it must rely on autonomous and controllable intelligent-connectivity technology support extending from terminals to the cloud and then to data; it must rely on artificial intelligence technology to rationally allocate resources and improve the industrial system;and it must even more so transform its mode of thinking and as soon as possible establish a technical standards, technological innovation, and technical verification system that can better leverage the role of AI. All of this is inseparable from the support of an "Industry Brain," that is, through processing data from the government, society, industry, and enterprises, extracting and generating reusable, digitized process technology, operational management, industry knowledge and models and other components, and converging them to form a knowledge base and capability center.
Chongqing is building an "Electric Motorcycle Industry Brain," taking the upgrading of electrification, intelligent-connectivity, and international technical standards as the starting point, relying on information technology support such as BeiDou spatiotemporal, mobile communications, artificial intelligence, and trusted data, fully leveraging the leading role of the innovation chain, the supporting role of the industrial chain, the financing role of the capital chain, and the guarantee role of the talent chain, and comprehensively enhancing industrial competitiveness, enterprise growth, government management, and social service capabilities.
The "Industry Brain," based on a data foundation, supports the operation of industrial-related service platforms such as technical standards, pilot-scale innovation, and green development. With the aid of an AI cognitive engine, it promotes the transformation of industrial development from operation-experience-driven toward data-model-driven. With the "Industry Brain" as support, Chongqing is accelerating the building of an electric motorcycle industry cluster with global competitiveness, constructing a green development ecosystem for Chongqing's electric motorcycle industry featuring "four chains" integration, "four sides" coordination, digital-intelligence empowerment, and digital-real integration.
Advancing "Four Sides" Coordination to Enhance Industrial Capabilities
In the architecture of Chongqing's "Electric Motorcycle Industry Brain," the "four sides" — the enterprise side, industry side, government side, and society side —are both industrial resources, application scenarios, and development demands. Relying on the "four sides" coordination system, the "Industry Brain" will promote the iterative upgrading of the motorcycle industry from four aspects:
Enhancing enterprise growth capabilities. The "Industry Brain" will support the construction of zero-carbon factories at key enterprises, enhance green manufacturing capabilities, and emerge from the predicament of low-quality, homogeneous competition;it will support the construction of digitalized operations centers at key enterprises, promote the two-way development of the domestic market and overseas market, and serve the broad base of users.
Enhancing industrial competitiveness. Chongqing adheres to the direction of intelligentization, greening, and integration, continuously raising the level of autonomous and controllable industrial chains. The "Industry Brain" will empower the construction of the "Chongqing Motorcycle One-Hour Industrial Circle" and the building of a green supply chain system, forming joint forces to construct a green development ecosystem for the electric motorcycle industry.
Enhancing government management capabilities. The "Industry Brain" will help accelerate the digital transformation of work such as traffic organization planning, parking and charging-and-swapping planning, vehicle traceability and replacement, and battery safety and recycling, strengthening digitalized management of enterprise-operated vehicles and digitalized services for individual user vehicles.
Enhancing social service capabilities. Relying on vehicle and battery big-data services supported by the "Industry Brain," Chongqing is accelerating the construction of an electric-motorcycle urban service and low-carbon travel ecosystem, enhancing the capability of multi-domain, multi-scenario coordinated co-governance.
Building an Industrial System to Empower Cluster Development
In the era of artificial intelligence, data has become the core factor of Chongqing's motorcycle industry development. In the architecture of Chongqing's "Electric Motorcycle Industry Brain," relevant industrial-chain entities are both providers of data resources and applicators of data services.
Shanghai Motor Vehicle Inspection Certification & Tech Innovation Center Co., Ltd. will fully support the work of Chongqing's electric motorcycle technical standards platform. China Merchants Testing Vehicle Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., as a local state-owned enterprise, will implement the task of building Chongqing's electric motorcycle pilot-scale innovation platform and serve the construction of the "Chongqing Motorcycle One-Hour Industrial Circle." China Quality Certification Center Co., Ltd. will, together with units such as the China National Institute of Standardization, build and operate well a green development platform for electric motorcycles, supporting whole-industrial-chain coordinated carbon reduction, green going-global, and quality-improving development.
At the symposium, persons in charge of key electric motorcycle enterprises such as Aima, Yadea, Tailg, ZEEHO, and Ninebot, as well as persons in charge of key battery enterprises such as Xingheng, BYD, and Sunwoda, offered advice and suggestions (建言献策, jian yan xian ce -"build, speech, offer, strategy")on improving quality in building the "Chongqing Motorcycle One-Hour Industrial Circle" and formed a consensus. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Chongqing will focus on accelerating the preparation for establishing a Chongqing Electric Motorcycle Association, promoting the establishment of group standards for electric motorcycles, promoting the improvement of national standards for electric motorcycles, and promoting the implementation of electric motorcycle standards going global. It will accelerate the launch of an intelligent-connectivity upgrading plan, striving so that by 2027, electric motorcycle products produced in Chongqing by key vehicle enterprises achieve comprehensive intelligent connectivity and are connected to the green development platform;and by 2030, form an intelligent-connectivity industrial ecosystem, integrate system data from product factory exit, vehicle use, battery use, as well as management data from vehicle registration and product recycling, establish a whole-life-cycle vehicle and battery big-data service system, and enrich the data resources of the "Industry Brain."

Return to TopBy: 尚凯元
A few days ago, the 48th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee decided to include the Normandy landing beaches of the Allied forces in World War II on the World Heritage List. The value of this certification goes far beyond "stamping a seal" on a historic military victory; it also reaffirms to the world a simple yet profound truth: the best legacy of war has never been limited to the glory of victory, but also holds within it the answer leading to lasting peace.
On June 6, 1944, the vanguard of the Allied forces, with British and American troops as the main force, crossed the English Channel, stormed ashore at Normandy, France, opened a second front on the European continent, and accelerated the demise of German fascism. The historical weight of this campaign has long been engraved upon the monument of the World Anti-Fascist War, and the battlefield relics that remain preserved along the coast to this day have become the physical coordinates bearing this memory.
Along Normandy's long coastline, there is both the singularly beautiful scenery of the Etretat elephant-trunk cliffs and the leisurely atmosphere of the Deauville seaside. The landing-site zone, however, has always exuded a somber and solemn temperament: after the tide recedes, the sands of Omaha Beach are flat and vast, the grassy slopes atop the cliffs silently gaze out over the sea, old bunkers recede into the sand dunes, and shell craters have been covered by green grass. This inscription on the heritage list runs approximately 80 kilometers along the Bay of the Seine, encompassing five landing beaches — Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword — as well as Pointe du Hoc, preserving German"Atlantic Wall" fortifications, battlefield traces, military equipment, and soldier cemeteries, forming a complete historical cross-section of the Western Front of World War II.
"These elements together constitute an outstanding cultural landscape, bearing witness both to the historical events of 1944 and to the continuous commemoration of these events by later generations." Such was the assessment of UNESCO. France's permanent delegate to UNESCO, Alem Garbi, stated that the Normandy landing was an important juncture from global conflict toward postwar peace and security, and that at a time when international crises and local conflicts are occurring in quick succession, the inclusion of these sites on the World Heritage List carries particularly significant practical relevance today.
To this day, Normandy has long transcended its regional attributes to become a global site of collective memory. Every year, millions of visitors travel there, mostly in pursuit of family and national memories. From official commemoration ceremonies attended by heads of state, to the daily flag-lowering ceremony, grave adoption and tribute visits, school-organized visits, and then to the civilian commemorative activities spread along the coast every June 6, war memory has not been sealed away in display cases, but has been woven into the daily life of the coast. "D-Day" evolved from a common military code designation into the exclusive symbol of the Normandy landing; the combat names of the five beaches stepped from military maps into real-world geography; classic film and television works also continuously reshape public perception, precipitating a cultural consensus that transcends national borders.
On this land that the Allied forces regained at the cost of blood and life, German visitors have long ranked among the forefront of visitor numbers. The former belligerents now bow their heads in mourning on the same coast, confronting history face-to-face. The La Cambe German military cemetery has hosted an international youth camp program since the 1950s, organizing young people from Germany and other European countries to participate in cemetery maintenance, using the historical site as a vehicle to promote postwar reconciliation, planting seeds of peace in the hearts of generation after generation of young people
In contrast, Japan, also a defeated nation in World War II, has persistently sought, through textbook authorization, to whitewash and gloss over the historical facts of its aggression, and its political leaders have repeatedly visited the so-called"Yasukuni Shrine," which enshrines 14 Class-A war criminals of World War II, openly challenging the postwar international order and making the path of reconciliation in East Asia fraught with difficulties
This, too, is where the enlightenment of Normandy remains resounding and ear-splitting today. Only by confronting history directly and assuming responsibility can former battlefields truly be transformed into sites of peace education, and can silent beaches truly become a peace heritage that guards the future.
Return to TopA bottle of "Osmanthus Green Brick Tea Milk Tea" has entered the national beverage supply chain, a drone has set off for Antarctica to carry out scientific research operations on the ice sheet, a set of 4.0 smart packaging and testing systems is in operation, and batches of chips are continuously rolling off the production line... South of Optics Valley, at the foot of Mufu Mountain, Xianning City, Hubei Province, is advancing toward the new with steady and rapid steps.
In September this year, Hubei Province explicitly proposed that, with accelerating the completion of the strategic fulcrum as the overall goal, with Wuhan Optics Valley as the vanguard, with the Wuhan Regional Science and Technology Innovation Center as the core engine, and with the Wuhan Metropolitan Area as the important carrier, continuously push the construction of the fulcrum to achieve new breakthroughs. Xianning, relying on the "offshore + onshore" collaboration, using pilot-scale testing bases as springboards, taking industrial chain supporting as the path, is accelerating the opening-up of the innovation chain of "R&D in Wuhan, production in Xianning", concentrating efforts on building itself into an important node of the Wuhan Regional Science and Technology Innovation Center.
Offshore + Onshore: Erecting a "Two-Way Bridge" for Collaborative Innovation
The Xianning Science and Technology Innovation Center has a total construction area of approximately 50,000 square meters. Since its operation in August 2025, it has attracted 5 academician teams, 46 enterprises, and 33 science and technology innovation projects to take up residence, promoted the transformation of 23 achievements, with an overall occupancy rate reaching 65.7%.
More than a hundred kilometers away, Phase II of the Xianning (Wuhan) Offshore Science and Technology Innovation Park is operating at the Optics Valley Chip Center, leveraging the advantages of the "offshore + onshore" collaborative model to attract the entire R&D team of Guangao Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. to move in.
At present, Xianning has laid out five science and technology innovation platforms including the Xianning Science and Technology Innovation Center and the Xianning (Wuhan) Offshore Science and Technology Innovation Park, promoting Wuhan-Xianning industrial synergy, achievement transformation, and talent exchange, and accelerating the construction of a key carrying area for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
Pilot-Scale Testing + Mass Production: Clearing the "Fast Lane" for Achievement Transformation
On August 28, the "Osmanthus Green Brick Tea Milk Tea" of Beihai Farm(Xianning) Dairy Co., Ltd. made its official debut at the Central China Healthy Beverage R&D Center, launching nationwide for the first time, bringing the "Taste of Xianning" into the national beverage supply chain.
Xianning High-tech Zone, jointly with Genki Forest, built the Central China Healthy Beverage R&D Center. This is the country's first comprehensive innovation platform that runs through the entire process of "idea—R&D—mass production", filling the "pilot-scale testing gap" between laboratory research and scaled-up mass production. It has provided services to more than 20 enterprises, completed the R&D of 57 new products, and achieved mass production implementation for 11 products. Its pilot-scale testing services can help enterprises shorten R&D cycles by more than 30% and reduce costs by more than 25%, helping small and medium-sized enterprises accelerate the pace of industrialization of innovation achievements.
To promote achievement transformation, the key is to grasp the links of concept validation and pilot-scale testing incubation. At the Xianning Pilot-Scale Testing Valley Chibi Base, the V1 medium-sized vertical take-off and landing drone of Chibi City Feima Hangyao Technology Co., Ltd. departed after completing tests, heading to Antarctica to carry out ice sheet scientific research missions. Xianning has rich terrain scenarios, and the Pilot-Scale Testing Valley possesses full-scenario testing capabilities. The Wuhan University—Xianning Low-Altitude Economy Innovation Research Institute is a research platform jointly established by Wuhan University and the Xianning Municipal People's Government through an agreement signed in June 2025. It has cumulatively applied for more than 12 provincial-and-ministerial-level or above projects, attracted 22 complete-machine manufacturing enterprises including Zhigao Future and Wuhan Guide Infrared to enter, cumulatively completed more than 300 drone test flights, and was selected into the second batch of Hubei Province manufacturing pilot-scale testing platforms.
From healthy beverages to low-altitude equipment, from concept validation to pilot-scale testing and mass production, Xianning is turning its pilot-scale testing platforms into the "mass production springboard" for Wuhan's scientific and technological achievements.
Chain Leader + Supporting: Embedding into Wuhan's Industrial "Ecological Circle"
On September 3, the "Wuhan-Ezhou-Huanggang-Huangshi-Xianning" Optoelectronic Information Industry Grand Corridor Xianning·Wuhan Production-Marketing Docking Event was held at the Xianning Science and Technology Innovation Center. Seven Xianning enterprises including Hubei Sanyingxing and Minxin Micro took the stage to present, eight chain leader enterprises including Wuhan Guide Infrared and Accelink Technologies conducted on-site docking, and four groups of enterprises signed intention agreements.
This is a microcosm of Xianning proactively embedding itself into Wuhan's industrial chain. Xianning has clearly defined its role as Wuhan's "four bases and one platform": an important raw material supply guarantee base for Wuhan, an application scenario expansion base, a talent residence and training base, a leading industry extension base, anda computing infrastructure guarantee platform.
Xian'an District and the Xianning High-tech Zone are the "main battlefields" for Xianning City to embed itself into Wuhan's automobile ecological circle. Every day, approximately 50,000 battery boxes and new energy plastic parts are shipped from the workshop of Hubei Jingque New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. to the main plants of enterprises such as Dongfeng Honda, Changan Automobile, and BYD. Jiayu County's Wuhan New Port Panwan Industrial Park has freed up nearly 2,500 mu of land, anchoring on electronic-information chemical new materials and automotive chemical new materials, striving to embed itself into Wuhan's "Optics Valley", "Auto Valley",and"Medicine Valley" ecological circles.
In advancing industrial chain co-construction, Xianningand Wuhan have established a normalized upstream-downstream production-demand docking mechanism, actively participating in regional science and technology achievement transformation activities such as "Wuchuanghui", promoting the introduction of more Wuhan innovation resources into Xianning. Since the beginning of this year, the city has signed 35 investment projects with Wuhan enterprises, with a contracted amount of 13.54 billion yuan.
Enterprises are the main body of innovation. From January to August this year, Xianning City added 109 industrial enterprises above designated size, ranking 6th in the province in terms of newly added number; the net increase of industrial enterprises above designated size was 58, ranking 1st in the province in terms of net increase number. The city currently has 43 provincial-level innovation platforms and 628 municipal-level ones, and an innovation pattern with enterprises as the main body is rapidly taking shape.
From a single enterprise to an industrial chain, from a single park to a model, Xianningis vigorously implementing a gradient cultivation plan for enterprise innovation capabilities, identifying the "nodes on the chain" in industrial synergy, and forging supporting advantages into cluster competitiveness.
To accelerate the transformation of the "key variable" of scientific and technological innovation into the "maximum increment" of high-quality development, Xianninginsists on taking the construction of an important node of the Wuhan Regional Science and Technology Innovation Center as the main engine of growth pole construction, relying on its geographical proximity and convenient transportation advantages with Wuhan, transplanting and transferring high-end scientific and technological innovation resources from Wuhan and other places, building a key carrying area for the transformation of Wuhan's scientific and technological achievements, and striving to make greater contributions to Hubei's construction of a strong province in science and technology and its acceleration of completing the important strategic fulcrum for the rise of the central region.

From the elderly with white hair and looking very old to foreign tourists coming from a distant place, from special groups with limited mobility to the "two drivers and two couriers" new employment groups, Industrial Bank deeply practices the people-centered development philosophy, integrates financial consumer protection work into the entire process of corporate governance, business development, operation and management, risk prevention and control, and builds a sound situation of jointly answering questions and jointly exerting efforts in the same direction, using a persistence that has maintained the same consistency for many years, to depict a new picture of financial consumer protection and write a new chapter in financial consumer protection.
From "comprehensive consumer protection" to "small but certain happiness"
Focusing on key small matters, building a solid defense line for financial consumer protection
Strengthening the protection of financial consumers' rights and interests is a key support for preventing and defusing financial risks. Industrial Bank has elevated consumer rights protection to one of the core propositions of the bank's corporate governance, incorporated it into its development strategy and corporate culture, from overall planning to grassroots implementation, promoting the implantation of the "consumer protection factor" into the "bloodline" of all employees, making consumer protection work a conscious action of all employees of the company.
At the governance level, Industrial Bank's board of directors has established a Risk Compliance and Consumer Rights Protection Committee under it, and has set up a first-level department, the Consumer Rights Protection Office, at the head office, ensuring the strength of consumer protection work from the organizational system. In terms of the institutional system, it has built an institutional system covering consumer protection governance, team building, marketing control, information protection and other fields, forming a "comprehensive consumer protection" institutional network that reaches "horizontally to the edges, vertically to the bottom".
Relying on the rigid constraints of institutions, Industrial Bank expands the application of technological means, starts from key small matters, and builds a solid defense line for financial consumer protection. It has launched an AI large model for consumer protection review, moving consumer protection review forward to the front end of the financial product life cycle, and rigidly embedding it into multiple business systems. To date, it has cumulatively issued 240,000 risk alerts, with an AI opinion coverage rate of 93%, ensuring that every product and every service undergoes a "safety inspection" before facing customers. At the same time, relying on big data, artificial intelligence and other technological means, it has established a "smart early warning + manual intervention" risk protection mechanism, proactively acting against suspicious behaviors such as abnormal transfers by elderly people and high-frequency transactions late at night, and initiating delayed crediting or pop-up strong reminders when necessary, using technological means to safeguard the safety of the people's property.
From "digital divide" to "barrier-free companionship"
Focusing on "the elderly and special groups", conveying the warmth of financial services
In order to implement the national strategy of actively responding to population aging, Industrial Bank, relying on the "Anyu Life" elderly financial services brand, has built 85 elderly financial service centers across the country, equipped with more than 3,200 certified elderly financial planners, providing elderly customers with integrated comprehensive financial services. To date, a total of 22 frontline institutions have been awarded the title of "Respecting the Elderly Civilization Unit", the largest number among peers in the industry.
Online, Industrial Bank has launched the "Anyu Edition" of its mobile banking app, helping the elderly cross the "digital divide" through features such as large-font display, simplified operating procedures, and voice navigation; its customer service hotline has opened a dedicated green channel of "one-touch transfer to human agent" for elderly customers, shortening waiting time. At offline outlets, it has opened priority service channels for elderly customers, equipped with reading glasses, emergency blood pressure monitors and other convenience supplies, and provided dialect accompaniment services; for elderly, seriously ill and other groups with limited mobility, it uses mobile devices to conduct door-to-door business handling.
Since 2014, Industrial Bank has organized the bank-wide "Respecting the Elderly Month" activity for 12 consecutive years, combining diversified service offerings such as public welfare classes, lobby services, cultural and sports activities, and door-to-door assistance, regularly opening "Silver-haired Classes" to popularize financial knowledge and explain fraud prevention techniques. In terms of protecting elderly investors' rights, Industrial Bank conducts real-time manual callbacks for customers aged over 65 who purchase high-risk products, once again conducting product risk disclosure and risk tolerance confirmation; for customers aged over 80, the system automatically limits the highest risk rating, using "rigid constraints" to build a safety defense line for elderly investors.
Elderly-appropriate services have warmth, and barrier-free services show attention to detail. In 2025, Industrial Bank will advance the 3.0 version renovation of barrier-free facilities at its outlets, with more than 30 barrier-free hardware facilities such as low-position guidance desks, vibrating number callers, Braille PIN pads, low-position self-service ATM machines, and knee-space positions at cash and non-cash counters being put in place one by one, and visual impairment and hearing impairment service zones being equipped with Braille guides, hearing assistance devices and other tools, ensuring that special groups can independently handle financial business, achieving "barrier-free companionship".
From "foreign nationals" to "two drivers and two couriers"
Adhering to inclusive and shared development, expanding the boundaries of financial consumer protection services
To support high-level opening up with quality services, Industrial Bank continuously optimizes the financial service experience for foreign nationals coming to China, launching a bilingual Chinese-English account opening guide, fully implementing the simplified account opening policy, improving the acceptance capacity of foreign cards, and launching service measures such as the "small change pouch" small-denomination banknote exchange.
Industrial Bank outlets in various regions refine their services based on the actual needs of foreign nationals coming to China, letting overseas visitors feel the openness and convenience of Chinese finance. Industrial Bank's Wuhan Zhongbei Sub-branch has customized a "Wuhan Easy Travel Small Change Pouch" for foreign tourists, meeting overseas tourists' small cash needs; Industrial Bank's Shijiazhuang Gu'an Sub-branch has launched a coordinated service mechanism, using translation tools to complete foreign tourists' foreign exchange settlement business, helping them overcome language communication barriers.
In addition, as the first operating institution in the country to support Taiwan compatriots in upgrading their digital RMB wallets, Industrial Bank goes all out to promote the implementation of real-name digital RMB wallets for compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, simultaneously supporting multi-language services and traditional Chinese operation guides.
Targeting the pain points of overseas employees of going-global enterprises facing difficulties in handling cross-border matters and cumbersome salary foreign exchange settlement, Industrial Bank has launched a comprehensive cross-border salary service, relying on the "Industrial Bank Connect" salary distribution system to achieve batch salary payment, allowing overseas employees to handle foreign exchange settlement independently through the mobile APP, without needing to travel across borders for offline handling.
The new employment groups rushing about on the road are equally key targets of Industrial Bank's financial consumer protection services. The "two drivers and two couriers" new employment groups, mainly composed of truck drivers, ride-hailing drivers, food delivery riders, and couriers, have strong mobility and fragmented needs. Industrial Bank precisely matches the needs of the "two drivers and two couriers" groups, through measures such as improving service mechanisms, opening up outlet services, and deepening digital empowerment, bringing financial services to their side.
From "handling complaints upon receipt" to "handling matters before complaints arise"
Focusing on source governance, building a long-term mechanism for financial consumer protection
Financial consumer protection work cannot be accomplished overnight, and even more requires a long-term mechanism to escort it. Industrial Bank integrates the Fengqiao model of the new era into financial consumer protection dispute resolution, having established 85 mediation workstations at 36 branches, dispatched 332 mediation personnel, flexibly applying diversified dispute resolution mechanisms such as industry mediation and judicial mediation, adhering to "mediation first, mediation combined with litigation", striving to resolve conflicts and disputes in the bud.
In addition to resolving disputes, Industrial Bank is also committed to making disputes not occur, or occur less frequently. Industrial Bank has established a four-level work framework of "head office overall coordination, branch execution, sub-branch implementation, business line coordination", focusing on key groups such as "the elderly and the young" and "two drivers and two couriers", promoting the integration of financial knowledge popularization and consumer education into daily work and practical implementation. During the 2026 banking industry "Ten-Thousand-Mile Financial Knowledge Popularization" and "Popularize Financial Knowledge, Guard Your 'Money Bag'" activity period, the bank carried out 5,022 offline publicity activities, with a 100% outlet participation rate, publishing 1,414 pieces of original content across various online channels, bringing financial knowledge popularization into the masses or every household.
It is worth mentioning that Industrial Bank, using its outlets' "Industrial Bank Public Welfare" convenience service stations as carriers, deeply integrates financial knowledge popularization with convenience services, by building a four-theme public welfare convenience network, providing more than 40 free convenience services, creating a financial knowledge publicity and education position.
Behind each figure is a warm moment: in the 85 elderly financial service centers, planners bend down, slow down their speaking pace, guiding elderly people in using mobile banking; having carried out the "Respecting the Elderly Month" activity for 12 consecutive years, a cup of hot tea, a door-to-door visit, a greeting of "How is your health?" conveys the warmth of financial services... Financial consumer rights protection work is not a gust of wind, but a marathon.
Striving forward into the 15th Five-Year Plan, Industrial Bank will, with higher standards, stricter requirements, and more solid measures, continue to improve the long-term management mechanism for financial consumer protection, continuously deepen the application of digital tools, always take the people's sense of gain, sense of happiness, and sense of security as the yardstick for testing work effectiveness, join hands with all sectors of society to build a healthy and orderly financial consumption environment, and contribute more Industrial Bank strength to building a strong financial nation.

Return to TopOn September 2, during his visit to Egypt, President Xi Jinping pointed out that China supports regional countries in developing good-neighborly and friendly relations, upholds the common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept, builds a new security architecture for the Middle East, and put forward 4 proposals for promoting common security in the Middle East, supporting regional countries in building a new security architecture for the Middle East from the four dimensions of stimulating internal driving forces, advancing comprehensive governance, consolidating the foundation for development, and strengthening international coordination. This edition invites 5 Chinese and foreign experts to conduct an in-depth interpretation of the practical significance and contemporary value of the new security architecture for the Middle East.
Qin Tian (Deputy Director of the Institute of Middle Eastern Studies, China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations)
Ding Long (Professor at the Institute of Middle Eastern Studies, Shanghai International Studies University)
Ahmed Derbik ( Egyptian expert on China affairs)
Mohammed Ali ( Director of the Trends Research and Advisory Center, UAE)
Jassim Hussein ( former member of the Bahrain Council of Representatives
A plan for implementing the Global Security Initiative in the Middle East region
Qin Tian: President Xi Jinping proposed the new security architecture for the Middle East, and this Chinese solution responds to the collective aspiration of Middle Eastern countries for achieving long-term peace and stability (长治久安, chang zhi jiu an - "long, lasting, long, peaceful"). The proposal of the new security architecture for the Middle East is the result of long-term preparation and deliberation. In February 2023, the Chinese government released the "Concept Paper on the Global Security Initiative," formally proposing to "jointly promote the building of a new security architecture for the Middle East." In April this year, facing the sharply turbulent regional situation, President Xi Jinping put forward 4 propositions on maintaining and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. In August, President Xi Jinping put forward 4 principles on promoting the resolution of the Palestinian question. These 4 proposals on the new security architecture for the Middle East are carrying on a tradition or lineage (一脉相承, yi mai xiang cheng - "one, vein, follow, inherit") with the previous propositions and principles, and constitute China's systematic solution, proposed from the epistemological and methodological levels, for resolving the security predicament of the Middle East.
Ahmed Derbik: At present, the Middle East security system is extremely fragile, and the successive wars and conflicts show that the existing security mechanisms can no longer prevent the spread of crises. Regional countries' confidence in external forces' ability to maintain security has declined, and they are successively seeking to diversify their international partnerships.
In recent years, China has actively promoted the resolution of the Palestinian question. In 2023, China successfully mediated the restoration of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. These all demonstrate that China has no geopolitical self-interest in the Middle East, does not seek spheres of influence, and does not engage in bloc confrontation. The new security architecture for the Middle East proposed by China aims to build a multipolar security pattern with broad participation and active roles of regional countries, and is a plan for implementingthe Global Security Initiative inthe Middle East region.
China's choice of Egypt as the venue for elaborating the new security architecture for the Middle East carries considerable profound significance. Egypt is both an important African country and a major Arab state, situated at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and the Arab world, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, maintaining extensive ties with all major forces in the Middle East, making it an ideal location for elaborating this proposal.
Ding Long: The Middle East is deeply mired in a conflict that, since the end of World War II, has involved the widest scope, lasted the longest duration, caused the most casualties, and inflicted the most severe humanitarian catastrophe. The flames of war have caused blockages in key international shipping lanes such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, leading to tight energy supplies, sharp oil price fluctuations, heavy pressure on global industrial and supply chains, and dragging downthe global economic recovery process.
The continuously spreading chain reactions fully demonstrate that the old Middle East security system dominated by external major powers has already failed. The "security outsourcing" model of entrusting regional security to external forces has instead created a "security paradox," continuously breeding risks. Under the severe situation, the strategic autonomy awareness of Middle Eastern countries has significantly strengthened. The signing of the "Mecca Joint Defense Agreement" by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan in Saudi Arabia is an important signal, indicating that regional countries urgently need international public goods that can help restore peace and stability in the Middle East. The Chinese solution takes a long-term view, addressing both symptoms and root causes (标本兼治, biao ben jian zhi - "symptoms, root, both, treat"), and advances holistically, responding to the questions of "who should build, what to build, and how to build" regional security, providing a systematic solution for the Middle East to regain stability and achieve long-term peace and stability, and pushing Middle East security governance from passively responding to crises toward actively constructing order.
Jassim Hussein: History and reality have repeatedly proven that unilateral coercion, logic of power, and external interference cannot resolve regional contradictions, but instead continuously intensify confrontation and breed new turmoil. The people of Middle Eastern countries are fully capable of independently grasping their own future and exploring development paths and security models suited to their national conditions. The international community should respect the independent choice of regional countries and create a favorable external environment for all parties to unleash their development potential and deepen dialogue and cooperation. President Xi Jinping, focusing on the common interests of regional countries and peoples, put forward 4 proposals on building a new security architecture for the Middle East, responding to the urgent aspirations of Middle Eastern countries for peace, stability, and development, and providing important guidance for lasting peace and common prosperity in the Middle East.
Promoting the strategic autonomy of Middle Eastern countries and providing them with an institutionalized platform for coordinating security issues
Ding Long: At present, conflicts in the Middle East exhibit significant internal correlation and cross-regional spillover effects. Under the superimposition of internal and external factors, conflicts are spreading along the fault lines of proxy networks and bloc confrontation. At the same time, traditional security and non-traditional security factors are intertwined. Facing this systemic crisis, the "tackling problems superficially as they arise" (头痛医头, tou tong yi tou - "head, ache, treat, head") approach cannot interrupt the chain of risk transmission, nor can it transform ceasefires into institutionalized arrangements for long-term stability.
China places "stimulating the internal driving forces for regional common security" first, because the fundamental defect of the Middle East security structure lies in the fact that security issues have long been outsourced, traded, and bloc-ized, resulting in regional security relying on external patronage and regional countries lacking autonomy. Once external priorities shift, the fragile security balance will be broken. The importance of internal driving forces lies in that, adhering to the principle that "the Middle East belongs to the people of the Middle East," it is committed to returning the choice of regional security paths to regional countries, and by building a new regional security architecture, promoting the strategic autonomy of regional countries and providing them with an institutionalized platform for coordination and communication on security issues.
Mohammed Ali: The participants in Middle East conflicts are intertwined, risk transmission channels highly overlap, and isolated crisis management models are difficult to work. The Palestinian question profoundly affects the Arab world and Islamic countries; once the situation in Gaza escalates, it can easily spill over to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and other countries. At the same time, the game between external countries and regional countries has intensified, continuously affecting the safety of maritime shipping lanes, involving nuclear issues, and drawing in local armed forces. Past security models often aimed at responding to threats rather than building order, mechanically dividing the Middle East into mutually opposed camps, failing to fully address the root causes that breed conflict — exclusive governance, development gaps, occupied territories, and other issues.
To achieve lasting stability, it is necessary to explore multi-layered security paths, using political settlement means, arms control measures, effective national governance, and broadly accessible economic opportunities, to carry out systematic treatment for resolving chronic security problems. Building a new security architecture for the Middle East does not mean dismantling existing regional relations, but rather incorporating these relations into common rules that can reduce uncertainty and create shared interests.
Ahmed Derbik: The 4 proposals of the new security architecture for the Middle East emphasize that the Palestinian question is the core of the Middle East issue, which is very necessary. The Palestinian question is a major crux of the Middle East security predicament. As long as this core question remains unresolved or pending (悬而未决, xuan er wei jue - "hang, and, not, decided"), a sustainable security architecture is out of the question. The crises in the Middle East have long ceased to be isolated events. Some traditional security models separate one country's security from its neighbors' security, breeding "security dilemmas," where deterrence measures instead exacerbate mutual distrust. Facts have proven that neither the approach of fragmented responses to individual crises nor the method of relying on external protection can bring long-term stability. If the result of security governance is that only some countries benefit, while the Palestinian people still cannot restore their legitimate national rights, then the root causes of regional turmoil cannot be eliminated. China opposes the marginalization of the Palestinian question and advocates placing it within the overall framework of regional overall security and the international order for coordinated consideration. Resolving the Palestinian question justly on the basis of the "two-state solution" is the foundation for achieving peace and stability in the Middle East.
Combining security goals with development opportunities, aligning with the common expectations of Middle Eastern countries for peace and development
Qin Tian: The dialectical relationship between security and development has a very vivid manifestation in the Middle East. The Middle East region has experienced multiple large-scale upheavals, and the underlying reason lies in that some countries have long been trapped in the predicament of non-development or growth without development, breeding numerous security hazards. The recent situation in the Middle East further confirms: without security as a precondition, development is out of the question, and even development achievements accumulated in the past may be devoured by the flames of war. The continuous deterioration of navigation safety conditions in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea not only directly threatens the living environment of regional countries, but also causes a strong impact on the world economy. Unless approached from the height of coordinating development and security, it will be difficult to find effective countermeasures to resolve the strait crisis.
In recent years, China's interactions with Middle Eastern countries have embodied the concept of coordinating development and security. In March 2023, China successfully facilitated the restoration of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran in Beijing. On the one hand, China maintains economic and trade exchanges with Saudi Arabia and Iran, driving the development of both countries with its own development; on the other hand, by convening 3 meetings of the China-Saudi Arabia-Iran Trilateral Joint Committee, it continuously consolidates the achievements of reconciliation. During the US-Israel-Iran conflict in 2026, Saudi Arabia and Iran still maintained communication and preserved the reconciliation situation, fully demonstrating the effectiveness of China's path of "promoting the integration of interests among regional countries, gradually enhancing mutual trust, and eliminating the soil that breeds conflict."
Mohammed Ali: Poverty does not necessarily lead to conflict, nor does development automatically create peace. Only by achieving more inclusive and sustainable development can true regional peace and security be genuinely promoted. China is relying on high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum mechanism to deepen economic and trade cooperation with Middle Eastern countries, such as the numerous projects in the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone, as well as cooperation between China and Gulf countries in clean energy, finance, and other fields. These cooperation efforts are conducive to consolidating the development foundation for regional common security and cultivating a development community of vital interests. Although development cannot replace political settlement, after a political settlement is reached, development can make security more resilient.
Ahmed Derbik: The reason why the new security architecture for the Middle East has attracted widespread attention is that it focuses on cooperation rather than confrontation, aligning with the universal aspiration of regional countries to escape conflict and seek development. China is the largest trading partner of many countries in the Middle East region and maintains economic interactions and stable dialogue with different countries. China links security with development, combining security goals with development opportunities, aligning with the common expectations of Middle Eastern countries for peace and development.
Ding Long: For a long time, the Middle East region has been deeply trapped in a vicious cycle where security deficits hinder development and development lag exacerbates security dilemmas. Strategic shipping lanes such as the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz are not only important arteries for global energy trade, but also important public goods supporting regional stability. Stabilizing shipping lane safety can effectively prevent local conflicts from spreading outward through channels such as energy supply chains. Using shipping lane safety as a link, deepening intra-regional economic and trade integration, strengthening infrastructure connectivity, promoting deep interembedding of energy industry chains, raising the cost of conflict and lowering the cost of concession through shared interests, is the essence of "consolidating the development foundation for regional common security."
Under the framework of the new security architecture for the Middle East, normalizing cooperation in escort and stability maintenance, maritime rescue, crisis communication, etc., will help fill the gaps in maritime governance and dialogue mechanisms in the Middle East, and will also help gradually upgrade fragile temporary ceasefires into stable and predictable regional rules.
Providing the Middle East with an independent, inclusive, and reconciliatory path of peaceful development
Mohammed Ali: Middle East security bears on regional stability and also affects global security. At present, all parties have not yet formed a unified regional security perception, with significant differences on key issues such as the core security agenda of the Middle East, threat assessment, and the positioning of external force intervention, and multiple structural contradictions continue to drag downthe security governance process: first, the relationship between sovereignty and intervention — foreign troops, proxy networks, and cross-border military operations continuously internationalize conflicts; second, there is a gap between legal commitments and implementation — relevant Security Council resolutions have not been implemented, and international rule of law has not been observed; third, governance mechanisms are fragmented — the United Nations, the League of Arab States, the Gulf Cooperation Council, as well as various bilateral alliances and ad hoc joint mechanisms each operate separately, yet lack a coordinating mechanism.
Based on this, the international community's involvement in Middle East affairs needs to more strictly abide by normative standards, follow the UN Charter and international law, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of regional countries, adhere to resolving disputes by peaceful means, and earnestly implement Security Council resolutions.
Ding Long: The reason why the Chinese solution has received extensive attention from regional countries lies in its response to the core demands of Middle Eastern countries in the security field.
First, the credibility of the position. China does not seek geopolitical self-interest in the Middle East, does not seek proxies, does not seek spheres of influence, does not seek to fill the so-called "vacuum," adheres to proceeding from the rights and wrongs of the matter itself, adheres to proceeding from the fundamental interests of the people of the Middle East, does not take sides, does not interfere in internal affairs, and does not attach political conditions. Therefore, China can maintain communication with all parties to the conflict simultaneously, becoming a mediator trusted by multiple parties.
Second, the effectiveness of the proposal. China's initiatives not only focus on crisis management, but also balance security and development, take into account the legitimate security concerns of all countries, uphold the common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security concept, support regional countries in exploring the reshaping of regional security architectures and independently grasping their own future. China continues to align high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Development Initiative with the economic development agendas of various countries, pointing out the key to the problem: the root cause of turmoil lies in development, and the ultimate way out ultimately depends on development.
Third, the legitimacy of the path. China adheres to respecting the principal role of regional countries, opposes the distortion and abuse of Security Council resolutions, opposes double standards, advocates taking the UN Charter and international law as the basic guidelines, resolving disputes through dialogue, consultation, and political settlement, providing the Middle East with an independent, inclusive, and reconciliatory path of peaceful development beyond dependence and confrontation.
Jassim Hussein: The Middle East needs international organizations to play a greater role, promoting relevant parties to narrow differences and enhance mutual trust through just and balanced mediation, rather than allowing a few countries to replace multilateral consultation with unilateral actions. Actively promoting the implementation of the 4 proposals of the new security architecture for the Middle East and translating them into concrete actions will help the Middle East region gradually break free from conflict and confrontation and embark on a development path of lasting peace, common security, and sustainable prosperity. This not only aligns with the fundamental interests of the people of the Middle East, but will also make important contributions to safeguarding world peace, stability, and development.

When the border regions prosper, the borderlands are stable.
From the Greater Khingan Range to the banks of the Heilong River, a "group-based border assistance action" (组团式援边行动) that has lasted for several years is being advanced in depth across the northern frontier lands.
In 2022, the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee, thoroughly implementing General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important instructions and directives on prospering the border, enriching the people, stabilizing the border, and consolidating the border, focused on solving problems such as insufficient cadre strength in border regions and shortages of professional technical personnel in fields such as education and medical care, and dispatched the first batch of 360 cadres, teachers, doctors, and industrial professionals to 18 border counties (cities, districts).
In 2025, the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee systematically summarized the experience of the first round of border assistance work, conducted in-depth research and alignment with the actual needs of border regions, decided to consolidate and deepen the "group-based border assistance action," made a series of optimized arrangements regarding the scale of border assistance, team structure, assistance fields, and others, and meticulously organized the selection and dispatch of a new round of 432 outstanding cadres and talents to take over the baton in succession.
In Heilongjiang, the border assistance action is not a one-time aid effort, a short-term blood transfusion, but rather a systematic project that advances layer by layer: hard effort fills shortcomings, soft effort activates vitality, long-term effort plans for the future.
The three kinds of effort interweave, injecting lasting momentum into prospering the border and enriching the people.
Hard Effort
Filling the Technical Shortcomings of Border Regions
The first hurdle in the development of border regions is often technology.
Raising livestock by experience, farming at the mercy of the weather, and traveling a thousand li for serious illnesses were once the norm in many border counties. One of the important tasks of group-based border assistance is to deliver technology directly to the border frontline and cross this hurdle.
At the Heizun Cattle Ranch on East Wolun River in Sunwu County, Heihe City, one by one purebred Angus cows slowly walk into the measurement passage.
"To measure the eye muscle area, you need to find this spot." Border assistance team member Jiao Zheng held the backfat probe, accurately stopping between the 12th and 13th ribs. Weighing, measuring body size, measuring body diagonal length, measuring chest circumference, measuring backfat thickness, calculating eye muscle area...A series of data was precisely recorded in the breeding archives. Whether a cow is good or not — in the past, it was judged by the eye and relied on experience; now, data speaks.
Jiao Zheng comes from the Heilongjiang Provincial Animal Husbandry General Station and has worked with cattle for 21 years. After arriving in Sunwu last year, he plunged into the cattle sheds, and against the standards for creating national-level core breeding farms, led local technicians to standardize measurement procedures item by item and organize breeding archives.
"Previously, our ranch's reproduction and growth performance measurement work was not standardized enough, the data system was not complete enough, and there was a shortage of effective high-quality breeding data, which directly constrained the improvement of core herd quality." Cao Shuai, manager of Heizun (Heilongjiang) Animal Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd., frankly admitted that the enterprise had also done related measurements in the past, but the data was "not accurate enough, not usable enough."
Today, with the help of border assistance team members such as Jiao Zheng, Sunwu has created Heilongjiang Province's first provincial-level Angus beef cattle core breeding farm, with the core herd stably maintained at over 200 head.
The weight of technology sinking down is even more pronounced in the field of people's livelihoods.
Miao Suzhen, a 78-year-old elderly woman in Suifenhe City, had suffered knee pain for over 20 years, with both legs severely deformed, making it difficult even to walk on the ground, and she could only undergo knee replacement surgery. But knee replacement is one of the more difficult surgeries in orthopedics, and previously local hospitals could not perform it.
Li Fuchun, deputy chief physician of the Orthopedics Department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, has 17 years of clinical experience. After coming here through border assistance, he completed bilateral knee replacement surgeries for Miao Suzhen one after another. Three days after surgery, the elderly woman could walk with assistance; after 42 days, the pain completely disappeared, and she could already move independently. Li Fuchun has already performed 12 such surgeries locally.
Advanced technology and high-quality services reach directly the border frontline, and the effect of stabilizing the border through healthcare has become evident. As of the end of June this year, medical professionals in the new round of border assistance have participated in more than 68,500 patient consultations, performed 3,220 surgical procedures, served more than 12,500 border residents through free clinics, and trained more than 800 local medical personnel through teaching, helping, and leading.
Soft Effort
Renewing the Ideas and Concepts of Border Residents
More profound changes are reflected in the renewal of ideas and concepts.
What border assistance talents bring is not only new technology, but also new ways of thinking, new concepts, and new horizons — and these are quietly changing the spirit and vitality of the border cities.
In Suifenhe City, 28-year-old Xia Weiliang has gained some local fame. He can use AI (artificial intelligence) tools to create cool short videos and is a well-known local AI video editor. But who would have thought that this young man, who earns money through AI, once found it difficult even to support himself because of polio?
The change came from Sun Xin, head of the E-commerce Major at Heilongjiang Vocational College. After arriving through border assistance at the E-commerce Industry Development Center of Suifenhe City, she united with the Disabled Persons' Federation to customize low-threshold entrepreneurship courses for disabled people, specifically teaching everyone to use AI to edit short videos. "Teacher Sun's classes are detailed and easy to understand. I can already take on some video editing work now, and next I want to try live-streaming product sales — I can earn money at home." Xia Weiliang's words carried confidence.
Over the past year, Sun Xin has organized 15 e-commerce training sessions, with more than 3,000 participants, incubating a batch of local entrepreneurial backbone talents. Teaching someone a skill is better than just giving them a resource (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 good as give person with fishing"). "Teaching them to use AI tools and understand e-commerce operations is opening a new door for them." She said that the border region does not lack good products; what it lacks is the concept of knowing how to sell products and the willingness to dare to start businesses.
Opening up the entrepreneurial mindset paves the way for expanding employment, while renewing educational concepts lays the foundation for growth.
Li Haiyun, a psychology teacher at No. 3 Middle School in Kedong County, Qiqihar City, did one thing first after arriving at her border assistance post: together with other border assistance teachers, she distributed 3,000 survey questionnaires. The results showed that quite a few students and parents had needs for psychological services.
"Early screening, early intervention — build a step for the children and help them step over it." Li Haiyun took the lead in establishing the Runxin Psychological Studio, established a full-staff psychological screening system, and through online psychological testing platforms, offline paper survey questionnaires, and other channels, grasped students' mental health conditions from multiple channels, constructed a three-level early warning mechanism of "general risk(mild) — relatively serious risk(moderate) — high risk(severe, urgent)," and established standardized psychological archives for every student in need.
The studio carries out group counseling for fifth-and sixth-grade primary school students on topics such as adolescent adaptation and peer interaction; and focuses on junior and senior high school students preparing for entrance examinations, carrying out individual counseling on problems such as pre-exam anxiety, academic pressure, and parent-child conflict. In one year, it completed nearly 70 one-on-one individual counseling sessions for students, serving a cumulative total of more than 500 person-times of teachers, students, and parents.
"Adhering to educating people and consolidating the border is an important part of the group-based border assistance work. Besides helping to solve problems such as backward teaching levels and insufficient teacher strength in border regions, the effect of stimulating educational vitality in border areas through the change of concepts and the renewal of ideas is also very obvious." A relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee introduced that, as of the end of June this year, teachers in the new round of border assistance have taught 695 class hours of demonstration lessons and trained 283 local teachers through teaching, helping, and leading.
Long-Term Effort
Development Efficiency Continues to Be Released
In Heilongjiang, border assistance cadres have never fought alone. Behind each person stands a work unit, a system. They are like bridges, connecting schools, hospitals, and research institutes in the rear areas with border regions, building a sustainable long-term assistance mechanism.
"The baton has been passed to our hands, so we must take it steadily and run well." During one year of border assistance work in Mishan City, Liu Sheng has formed an unbreakable bond with the Xingkai Lake big white fish.
"It is famous far and wide, but the road to getting the big white fish out of Xingkai Lake has not been easy." Liu Sheng said that assisting local governments to turn the Xingkai Lake big white fish from a local signature dish into a pillar industry — the first batch of the work team had already laid a good foundation, and his team members' task was to continue supporting the effort to make the big white fish industry bigger and stronger.
The two batches of border assistance work teams systematically planned the industrial layout of the Xingkai Lake big white fish, actively sought fishery support policies, and took the lead in compiling documents such as the "2026 Implementation Plan for the Development of the Xingkai Lake Big White Fish Industry in Mishan City," helping local authorities include the cold-water fish industry cluster into the city's key development projects. Attracted and driven by relevant policies, multiple fishery projects have successively landed in Mishan.
Meanwhile, driven by the border assistance work team, the Mishan municipal government has also landed 3 aquatic product projects with a total investment of over 30 million yuan each. Among them, the deep-processed aquatic product base that started construction this year will be completed by the end of the year, with a designed total annual processing capacity of 2,150 tons, and the annual processing capacity for Xingkai Lake big white fish reaching 50 tons.
In the practical training building of the Suifenhe Vocational and Technical Education Center School, wrenches and testing instruments are neatly arranged, and several students are gathered around a faulty automobile chassis, following a brand-new teaching plan, disassembling and inspecting component problems with their hands.
Xiu Haohan, who is assisting the border here and serving as deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, comes from Heilongjiang Agricultural Engineering Vocational and Technical University, whose auto repair major is a trump card in the province's vocational education and has in-depth cooperation with leading automobile companies. After arriving in Suifenhe City, Xiu Haohan discovered that the vocational high school's practical training equipment was outdated, the content was monotonous, talent cultivation did not match market demand, and graduates either found low-level employment or had to seek other livelihoods.
Xiu Haohan then connected with his sending unit to build a paired assistance channel, and relying on corporate cooperation resources, students of the Suifenhe vocational high school will in the future be able to obtain opportunities for practical training at major factories and employment. "I hope vocational education will no longer be a 'terminal point,' but rather become a 'starting point' that connects with industry and matches quality employment." He said.
The Hulin City work team assisted local development of the Ciwujia(Acanthopanax senticosus) industry, iteratively launching more than 30 types of Ciwujia specialty health meals and more than 20 kinds of portable leisure foods, promoting Hulin Ciwujia to be selected into the national "one county, one product" list of authentic medicinal materials; the Luobei County work team proactively connected with industry associations, scientific research institutions, and graphite production enterprises, and the "Specifications for Pollution Control in Graphite Ore Dressing Production," in whose compilation they participated, was approved and implemented by the relevant national industry association, filling the standard gap in pollution control for the graphite ore dressing process...
Centering on improving quality and efficiency of advantageous industries, border assistance work teams continue to cultivate momentum for the development of border regions. As of the end of June this year, the new round of border assistance work teams has participated in cultivating 99 special industries, including beef cattle breeding, cold-water crayfish farming, tourism, sightseeing, and picking, among others.
Three kinds of effort, three realms — hard effort makes the border "able to develop," soft effort makes the border "want to develop," and long-term effort makes the border "develop sustainably." Heilongjiang's "group-based border assistance action" has blazed a path of assistance that proceeds from the surface to the interior and advances layer by layer.
"Border assistance cadres will rotate, but technology has taken root, concepts have been renewed, and mechanisms have been established — these will certainly continue to release their effectiveness." A relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee stated.

Corruption is a roadblock and stumbling stone in the course of the Party's and the state's cause development, and anti-corruption is a major political struggle that cannot be lost and must never be lost. Since the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has carried out an unprecedented anti-corruption struggle with a zero-tolerance attitude, successfully blazing a path of anti-corruption with Chinese characteristics that, under the centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, treats both the symptoms and the root causes and advances in an integrated manner the efforts to ensure that officials dare not, cannot, and will not be corrupt.
Xi Jinping's Party-building thought clearly puts forward "upholding the integrated advancement of ensuring that officials dare not, cannot, and will not be corrupt," which is the basic policy of the anti-corruption struggle and also an important strategy for full and rigorous self-governance of the Party in the new era.
The integrated advancement of the"three no-corruptions"releases a clear signal of strictness.
On July 25, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission reported the nationwide discipline inspection and supervision organs' supervision, inspection, and investigation situation for the first half of 2026: 538,000 cases were filed for investigation, and 412,000 people were disciplined. Behind these numbers is a clear attitude of undiminished intensity and unrelaxed standards.
In January this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Twentieth CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection: "We must maintain a high-pressure posture without wavering, resolutely investigating all corruption, resolutely punishing all graft, completely eradicating evil, leaving corrupt elements no place to hide."
Strictness is the main tone of Party governance since the new era. Our Party, with the strong sense of mission of"offending thousands of people rather than failing 1.4 billion people," removes maladies, restores order, and strikes hard at corruption. The exploration and formation of the integrated advancement of the"three no-corruptions"is in fact a process of governing deeper and governing at the root. Strictness is not strictness for a moment, but strictness as the norm; full and rigorous self-governance of the Party is always on the way, and the further it goes, the stricter it becomes.
The integrated advancement of the"three no-corruptions"strengthens systematic governance.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out:"Daring not to be corrupt, being unable to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt are an organic whole that are interdependent and mutually reinforcing, and must be coordinated and linked to enhance the overall effect."
Daring not to be corrupt, being unable to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt are not a division into three stages, but an internally unified governance closed loop advanced as one. Daring not to be corrupt focuses on deterrence; being unable to be corrupt focuses on institutions; not wanting to be corrupt focuses on self-awareness. Without deterrence, institutions can easily become"scarecrows"; without institutions, deterrence cannot last; without self-awareness, governance costs are high. From"daring not"to"being unable"to"not wanting,"the three must exert force simultaneously, in the same direction, and comprehensively.
In practice, we continue to intensify pressure on"daring not to be corrupt,"focusing on key areas and key links to increase investigation and punishment efforts; we deepen and expand"being unable to be corrupt,"binding tight the cage of institutions; we consolidate and elevate"not wanting to be corrupt,"strengthening the construction of a clean culture in the new era... With full-chain management and full-chain coordination, the penetrating power of anti-corruption continues to improve, and the effect of comprehensive governance becomes more evident.
The integrated advancement of the"three no-corruptions"wins historical initiative.
At the Fifth Plenary Session of the Twentieth CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again made arrangements and requirements for"deepening the rectification of improper practices and corruption around the people,"which is a practical matter the people look forward to and a major matter concerning the Party's governing foundation.
2026 is the year of the decisive battle in the three-year concentrated rectification campaign against improper practices and corruption around the people. Discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels adhere to the integrated advancement of the"three no-corruptions,"deepen the simultaneous investigation and governance of misconduct and corruption, both severely punishing the problems of"fly-and-ant corruption"and vigorously eradicating the soil and conditions that breed corruption, continuously enhancing the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
Public support is the greatest politics. "Whatever the people oppose and hate, we must resolutely prevent and correct." The integrated advancement of the"three no-corruptions"helps our Party win initiative, win public support, and win the future.
Anti-corruption must proceed unswervingly. On the new journey, the whole Party deeply studies and implements Xi Jinping's Party-building thought, with the tenacity and perseverance of always sounding the charge, advances in an integrated manner the efforts to ensure that officials dare not, cannot, and will not be corrupt, and resolutely fights the tough battle, protracted battle, and overall battle against corruption.
Return to Top"So-and-so You did not participate in the land reclamation project, so why was compensation still paid to him?" "According to regulations, so-and-so He should have received only a few thousand yuan in compensation, so how did 60,000-plus yuan get transferred to him?" When the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervisory Commission of Lu County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, was verifying the compensation payment details and the roster of project participants in Wangzhuang Village, it discovered multiple irregularities.
"So-and-so You is not a member of your village, so can he still receive compensation?" The verification personnel summoned Li, the former director of the Wangzhuang Village villagers' committee, and got straight to the point (开门见山, kai men jian shan - "open door, see mountain").
"He is indeed not from our village and cannot receive compensation. Actually, he is my maternal uncle. I took him to the bank to open his bank card, and the money transferred into it was spent by me..." After looking at the evidentiary materials presented by the verification personnel, Li had no choice but to confess the truth.
"Then why does the amount of compensation that so-and-so He received differ from what he was entitled to by regulation?" The verification personnel continued to press.
"I also took him to open his bank card. I withdrew his entitled compensation in cash and gave it to him, and I spent the rest myself..." Li answered in shame.
It turned out that Li had been specifically responsible for the compensation payment work for the demolition and reclamation of idle houses in Wangzhuang Village at the time, and all related matters were handled by him alone. He then began to harbor improper intentions: first forging the compensation payment detail sheets, then transferring the compensation to bank accounts he held on behalf of others, thereby turning village collective funds into his personal "ATM."
Upon investigation, Li, taking advantage of his official position and with the purpose of illegal possession, successively embezzled village collective property totaling 380,000 yuan. In the end, he was held accountable according to law.
[Commentary from the discipline enforcers] In this case, the fund account was managed by the villagers' committee director alone, reflecting problems of nonstandard fund disbursement and inadequate supervision, which harmed the interests of the masses and eroded the credibility of grassroots organizations. The use of village collective funds must be advanced simultaneously on the three fronts of institutions, management, and supervision, changing from individual account management to multi-party joint management, and from after-the-fact auditing to full-process record-keeping, ensuring that every receipt and payment operates in the sunlight.

As the sky was just beginning to lighten, Zhao Aijun, Party branch secretary of Longnai Village, Mengdong Township, Cangyuan Va Autonomous County, Lincang City, Yunnan Province, slung on his backpack and water bottle and called on the joint defense team members to set out on the border patrol road.
The 3.9-kilometer border patrol road, winding and twisting (蜿蜒曲折, wan yan qu zhe - "winding, twisting, bending"), Zhao Aijun had walked who knows how many times. When he reached the boundary marker, he would always take out vermilion paint and a brush, carefully tracing every stroke of the two characters "China". Having served as a village cadre for over 20 years, he has always held fast to one conviction — planting the "root" deep in the border line.
Longnai Village's border patrol team has more than 50 members, of whom 20 are Party members. Party members taking the lead in border patrols has already become the norm across Lincang City's more than 290 kilometers of border line, covering 44 border-adjacent villages and 202 border-adjacent village (resident) groups.
Lincang's border line is long, with tall mountains and dense forests. In order to shoulder firmly the responsibility of strengthening the border and consolidating defense, Lincang City has in recent years continuously advanced the construction of the "Border Party Building Corridor", consolidating the ideological consensus that "we are all border guardians", continuously improving the Party organizational system in border areas, achieving full Party organization coverage across the 202 border-adjacent village (resident) groups, and ensuring that border-adjacent village (resident) groups with a permanent population of over 100 people all have more than 3 Party members, achieving "every village has a Party branch" and"every group has Party members".
"Today, Party organizations have built branches at joint defense posts, and the 'Five Joint' mechanism has twisted the forces of all sides into one." According to Li Junxue, a joint defense team member at the Cishuyakou Joint Defense Post in Zhenkang County, the local area relies on the "Five Joint" mechanism of joint consultation on work, joint innovation on mechanisms, joint training on teams, joint border defense, and joint governance on villages, regularly conducting joint training with public security, militia, and village cadre, becoming familiar with border patrol equipment such as surveillance cameras and drones. In the past, patrolling the mountains relied entirely on two legs; now, with multi-party forces coordinating and technological equipment assisting, control blind spots have been greatly reduced.
Planting the"root" deep in the border line is not only about guarding the border and consolidating defense, but even more about revitalizing the border and enriching the people.
In Mangtuan Village, Gengma Dai and Va Autonomous County, tourists coming to visit and experience the Dai papermaking craft come in an endless stream, and cultural and creative products made from Dai paper, such as table lamps and notebooks, are deeply loved by tourists.
"The village Party branch took the lead in establishing a cooperative, building a platform for villagers and finding sales channels, drawing in more than a hundred households to participate in industrial development. Today, the annual output value of Dai paper has exceeded 7.8 million yuan, and it has already become a prosperity industry for the villagers." Said Ai Ye, chairman of Mangtuan Daiying Handicraft Art Co., Ltd.
In Banhong Village, with the assistance of China Eastern Airlines Group and the Bee Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, villagers have been guided to develop beekeeping industry, with an average annual household income increase of more than 5,700 yuan, and the village Party general branch has been awarded the title of"National Advanced Primary Party Organization"; the Party general branch of Tianba Village took the lead in establishing a macadamia nut cooperative, innovating the"464" income distribution mechanism, that is, enterprises rebate 4%, of which 60% is distributed to farmers and 40% remains with the village collective, sharing the dividends of industrial development with villagers... Lincang City persists in gathering people through industry and consolidating the border through industry; in 2025, the average operating income of the collective economy of 44 border villages reached 274,700 yuan per village, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents reached 24,400 yuan, an increase of 38.6% compared with three years ago.
"We must continuously strengthen Party organization building in border areas, build a beautiful homeland, and strive to make border residents prosperous, border passes beautiful, border areas tranquil, and border defense solid." Said a relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Lincang Municipal Party Committee.
Return to TopThe deep integration of artificial intelligence with the manufacturing industry is becoming an important direction for advancing a new type of industrialization. The "Implementation Opinions on the Special Action for 'AI + Manufacturing'" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments explicitly proposes encouraging leading enterprises and central state-owned enterprises to engage in pioneering pilot programs and early trials (先行先试, xian xing xian shi - "first, go; first, try"), provide large-scale application scenarios, develop and apply industrial intelligent agents, and take the lead in exploring new models of AI empowering the manufacturing industry. For automobile enterprises, how to integrate AI into core business processes and serve the improvement of product R&D and manufacturing quality is a concrete topic in implementing this deployment.
Since 2023, Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Corp., Ltd. (referred to as "JAC Group") has joined hands with Huawei to lay out high-end automobile projects. As the business of high-end products such as the Zunjie S800 and V800 continues to advance, JAC Group has put forward higher requirements for R&D quality, manufacturing precision, and cross-link collaboration capability. How, on the premise of ensuring high product quality, to let AI deeply participate in specific work such as design and production and in turn feed back into quality improvement has become an important focus of the enterprise's advancement of digital-and-intelligent construction. On September 17, during the Huawei Connect (HUAWEI CONNECT) 2026 held in Shanghai, the head of JAC Group's Digitalization Management Center shared practical experience in intelligent agent innovation, centered on JAC Group's core business needs.
Moving quality requirements forward to the source of R&D
Identifying potential risks in advance and preventing the recurrence of historical problems are daily tasks in automotive R&D quality management. As products and technologies continue to iterate, the professional knowledge that engineers need to retrieve and apply is also increasing. How to let AI retrieve existing experience and participate more fully in design and review has become an important direction for JAC Group's exploration of intelligent agent applications.
Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) is a professional task in automotive R&D for identifying potential design risks. Engineers need to analyze what kinds of failures a design might exhibit, what impacts they might produce, and check the corresponding control measures. This work involves enterprise specifications, industry standards, and historical cases; it requires both meticulous inspection and reliance on professional experience.
Centered on this link, JAC Group, based on the more than a thousand design specifications and historical data it has accumulated, uses the DFMEA review intelligent agent to assist in checking form quality and proposing optimization suggestions, and then engineers, combining the specific design, make judgments and carry out improvements, achieving closed-loop review business. By using AI to connect historical case data with the current review task, engineers can more conveniently search for and use relevant experience, supplementing the basis for identifying design risks.
A historical test report or the resolution process of a design problem can only realize greater value if it is found in a timely manner, accurately understood, and fully reused in subsequent work. JAC Group's DFMEA review intelligent agent gives these historical experiences a more direct channel for use, and also creates conditions for cross-project reuse of R&D experience.
In terms of AI-assisted programming, JAC Group, based on domestic AI computing power, applies intelligent agents to code development, code inspection, and unit testing, and in the operation link automatically conducts quality specification and compliance checks through intelligent agents; through measures such as outputting solidified specifications at each stage and constraining operations with compliance requirements, it achieves full-process traceability, making the specification compliance rate reach 100%.
JAC Group's series of measures in design review and code R&D have successfully connected AI applications with enterprise specifications and professional knowledge. Centered on the requirement of high-quality car manufacturing, JAC Group explores "AI +" in specific work to enhance overall R&D capability: letting engineers more fully apply existing experience, letting design review have more reliable bases, and letting R&D outcomes undergo clear quality inspections.
Implementing high standards down to the details of manufacturing
The quality requirements established in the R&D stage also need to be continuously fulfilled in the manufacturing process. Different vehicle models, configurations, and inspection points pose different requirements for quality inspection. Whether standards can be stably executed in a dynamic production scenario is a deep test of an enterprise's manufacturing capability.
Visual quality inspection is a key link in ensuring product quality in automobile manufacturing, but model development is difficult and scenario adaptation cycles are long. To solve this problem, JAC Group, relying on Huawei's Pangu CV (computer vision) foundational large model, combined with 1.3 million high-quality quality-inspection photos accumulated at the Zunjie factory, trained the "Maist" CV quality-inspection large model, achieving one model adapting to multiple quality-inspection scenarios, with an average inspection accuracy reaching 99.9%.
In terms of scenario adaptation capability, facing the changes in inspection requirements brought by new vehicle models and new configurations, JAC Group continuously polishes the generalization capability of the "Maist" CV quality-inspection large model; with the aid of Huawei's AI toolchain, only about 50-plus sample images are needed to complete rapid adaptation for 1 new scenario, significantly reducing repetitive development work and greatly shortening the model launch cycle.
The industrial implementation of the "Maist" CV quality-inspection large model cannot be separated from JAC Group's long-term attention to and accumulation of industrial data. In June 2025, JAC Group was selected for the list of Anhui Province's high-quality dataset construction bases, and has currently accumulated more than 3.3TB of high-quality quality-inspection data. Huawei's foundational models and platform capabilities, combined with JAC Group's high-quality industrial data, enable the AI system to possess first-class capabilities in the professional quality-inspection field. High inspection accuracy, scenario adaptation capability, and long-term practical verification provide a replicable, implementable technical support system for high-quality manufacturing.
Serving high-quality development with long-term capability building
JAC Group's digital-and-intelligent transformation has always been oriented by business value, establishing the overall strategy of "unified platform, unified planning, unified construction". Relying on the group-level unified AI platform, JAC Group prioritizes carrying out pioneering pilot programsand early trials in high-end automobile manufacturing scenarios such as Zunjie, and through accumulating mature model capabilities, industry knowledge, and implementation experience, forms reusable digital assets, laying the foundation for extending to the group's entire business chain and the upstream-and-downstream industrial chain.
In terms of advancement pace, JAC Group uses technological maturity as the yardstick to select implementation scenarios: for mature applications, it continuously polishes them and deepens their application value; for emerging technologies, it first validates them and controls implementation risks, making steady, gradual progress (循序渐进, xun xu jian jin - "follow, order, step, advance") in accumulating conditions for promotion. At the same time, it establishes a unified knowledge-and-data foundation, a standardized intelligent agent architecture, and supporting operational mechanisms, providing institutional guarantees for cross-scenario experience reuse and continuous improvement.
Letting AI truly adapt to the professional requirements of automobile R&D and manufacturing requires not only the "hard strength" of technological innovation, but also relies on an enterprise's construction of the "soft support" of "accumulating experience — updating data — iterating applications". As practice continues to deepen, JAC Group is accelerating the construction of a sustainable development mechanism that supports the closed loop of intelligent manufacturing, providing a path reference for China's automobile industry to consolidate the foundation of high-quality development through intelligentization.

We need more outstanding VR film works to prove the value and potential of this future art form. What is especially critical at present is that, in the exploration of VR's ontological language and the excavation of China's indigenous experience, we must continuously attempt more possibilities for "telling stories well."
VR (virtual reality) can break through the boundaries between inside and outside the frame, on and off the stage, and within and beyond the drama, and has long been regarded as one of the candidate media for "future art." In recent years, VR art has experienced a small period of explosive growth in our country. In 2025, the National Film Administration issued the "Notice on Promoting the Orderly Development of Virtual Reality Films." As of now, over 200 VR films have been filed and approved for archival filing nationwide, and approximately 50 films have obtained the "dragon mark" (龙标, the film release license).. At the same time, at least 400 VR projects have emerged in scenic spots, shopping malls, museums, and amusement parks. VR art has become a representative of the integration of art and technology and of the transformation and reshaping of literary and artistic formats driven by new technologies. The recently held 2026 Xi'an International Virtual Reality Film Week centrally showcased the current state of development of domestic VR films; here the author offers an "unboxing review," inviting everyone, from the perspective of "how VR tells stories," to experience this rising art form together.
The Restraint of Technology
For VR films to achieve long-term development, they must give audiences a reason: why watch a film with VR? This reason is usually being immersed in a real environment (身临其境, shen lin qi jing - "body, enter, that, scene"). But being immersed in a real environment is not the reason audiences sustain long-term VR experiences; the key lies in that, once the initial excitement of a novel experience has passed, this "wonderland" itself must be able to provide audiences with a continuous stream of meaningful experience. One of its methods is storytelling. Perhaps in everyone's impression, VR is roughly equivalent to black technology, and it can indeed provide various dazzling technological support for cutting-edge audiovisual narrative, but the first essential principle of telling a good story with VR is: do not show off technology. For example, "The Dream of Little Radish Head" (小萝卜头的梦) lets experiencers, together with Little Radish Head, find themselves in a prison cell, fall into nightmares, and together walk out of the darkness through dreams of the future. When "you" experience the crampedness of the prison, the fear of the nightmare, the openness of the future, you will discover that the body's sensations in different spaces are fully mobilized and serve empathy. "Presence" (在场) is not only the state of physical co-existence between the experiencer and Little Radish Head in the audiovisual environment, but also connects us with the spiritual bond that transcends time and space with the martyrs.
In this year's screenings, "The Dream of Little Radish Head," "Mulan 2125·Dislocated Operation," "Half a Quilt," and "Hui Niang Rescues Pei Lang" are all works without much interaction in terms of technology, but they devote themselves to efforts in script, visuals, soundscapes, and other means, pulling the "presence" experience to its fullest from multiple dimensions including story, audiovisuals, and spirit. It must be said that although VR provides new possibilities for interactive narrative, if interaction is detached from narrative or meaning, it would be better to let audiences sit quietly and feel a simple yet moving story.
"How to Tell" and"What to Tell"
If one merely uses mature audiovisual means to tell a story, another kind of question arises: why use VR? This relates to what the medium-specific characteristics of VR are, and how these characteristics can better serve storytelling.
"Xuanzang and Kucha" (玄奘与龟兹) is precisely such a work that interrogates the essence of the VR medium. Audiences, together with Xuanzang, travel through the Kingdom of Kucha, experiencing the splendor of the grottoes, the gracefulness of the dances, the bustle of the market, but the climax of the experience is not the luxurious spectacle, but rather that moment when this spectacle instantly fades and shatters. The film's theme, in a word, is "all of this will pass away." This is a line of dialogue in the work, is the philosophical principle that runs through the entire experience, and is also the ontological characteristic of VR, which is known for creating "realistic illusions." "Xuanzang and Kucha" uses a 360-degree splendid illusion to let audiences profoundly appreciate the philosophical thought that scenes arise and scenes perish
How can media language and experiential content be better matched? Many of the screened works present explorations of this question: "The Illusory Realm of Grand Illusion" (太虚幻境) uses mixed reality (MR) technology to tell the story of a Dream of the Red Chamber theater troupe. The work allows live performance and digital environments to connect in the same time and space; "when false is taken as true, the true becomes even more false" is the way of telling the story, and is even more so the theme of the story being told. "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City of Jingjue" (鬼吹灯之精绝古城) develops the inherent interactive demands of a suspense-and-puzzle-solving story into interaction design tightly embedded with the plot; the immersion of the experience comes not only from the story, but also from the flow state in combat and puzzle-solving. In a word, VR's "how to tell" must always serve "what to tell." Only when "what to tell" and"how to tell" are matched can VR's medium-specific characteristics be fully brought into play, and can our experiences and stories be better expressed
VR Films and Chinese Stories
Why propose VR films and Chinese stories? This is not only because we regard VR films as a focal point for building a strong film country, but even more because VR's medium-specific characteristics are particularly suited to telling Chinese stories. In VR experiences, the user's bodily behavior is an important fulcrum of meaning, which, for a Chinese culture that emphasizes embodied comprehension, experiential practice, and has a tradition of the unity of body and mind (身心合一, shen xin he yi - "body, mind, combine, one"), is simply an ideal medium for stimulating creative possibilities. The works screened and submitted for evaluation this time also reflect a trend of using embodied interaction to explore Chinese narratives
For example, in "Longmen Vajra" (龙门金刚), "you" transform into a stonemason, participating in guarding the secret realm of Longmen, and throughout the experience a question is buried: "What is a Vajra?" The answer emerges at the end: the Vajra is imperishable, all because mortals hold up lamps. At this moment, "you" realize that you indeed once held up a lamp, illuminating the dark road ahead in the cave. "Holding up the lamp" and"illuminating" here are not only an interactive behavior, but also constitute the essence of the story. In "Confucius·Golden Kite Wonderland" (孔子·金鸢奇境), "you" transform into a disciple of Confucius, trapped with the Master in Pudi. Confucius's choices and actions in the difficult situation concretely present his value concepts. Audiences, in the specific plot, also follow Confucius in performing salutations with clasped hands, gaining a more embodied experience of traditional culture. Among the submitted works, there are also "Shaolin·God of Kung Fu" (少林·功夫之神), which uses VR interaction to show that every daily activity and posture (行住坐卧, xing zhu zuo wo - "walk, stay, sit, lie") constitutes self-cultivation, and "Encounter with Fuxi" (遇见伏羲), which shows how Chinese ancestors used labor and craftsmanship to create civilization. The importance that excellent traditional Chinese culture places on the body, its expression, and its discipline resonates here with the embodied interaction of VR experiences, which makes us imagine freely: can VR's embodied interaction carry more and better Chinese stories?
For the development of VR film art, the market still needs cultivation, technology still needs iteration, standards have yet to be unified, and management is being innovated; however, what is even more important is that we need more outstanding VR film works to prove the value and potential of this future art form. Therefore, what is especially critical at present is that, in the exploration of VR's ontological language and the excavation of China's indigenous experience, we must continuously attempt more possibilities for "telling stories well." Why watch VR films? Responding well to this question concerns not only the development of VR films, but also the possibilities of future narrative

Portraying historical figures is a popular direction in contemporary dance-drama creation. Works such as Confucius, Li Bai, and Du Fu not only bring the iconic figures of traditional Chinese culture to life in the present, but also showcase the unique charm of guofeng (national-style) dance-drama through a new-Chinese-aesthetic. The dance-drama Yan Zhenqing is another powerful work in this direction. Taking brush and ink as its form and meaning, the work transforms the vigorous breadth of Yan-style regular script and the unrestrained surging of running-cursive script into bodily language, presenting the aesthetics of traditional Chinese calligraphy through a distinctive dance vocabulary. The artistic interpretation that "the character is like the man" makes Yan Zhenqing, a famous Tang-dynasty minister and calligraphy master, "dance" out of the history books, and the calligraphy, family precepts, and devotion to family and country of a worthy sage of his generation leap onto the stage. The moral fiber of the characters and the integrity of the man mirror each other, deeply moving and soul-stirring (荡气回肠, dang qi hui chang - "surge, gas, return, intestines").
Using dance to tell historical stories requires both the logical progression of a narrative (起承转合, qi cheng zhuan he - "rise, undertake, turn, join") in dramatic storytelling and the construction of visual imagery through multiple media. Yan Zhenqing takes the protagonist's masterpiece handed down through generations, Draft of a Sacrificial Essay for My Nephew, as its "dramatic eye," and through the narrative structure of "moistening the ink, lifting the brush, driving the brush, drying the brush, exhausting the ink," condenses the trajectory of Yan Zhenqing's life. At the same time, it skillfully weaves calligraphic elements into the dance vocabulary, allowing the audience to be"immersed" and"drawn into the drama."
At the opening, the stage lights gradually dim, anda giant brush hangs suspended in midair, with ink pouring down like a waterfall, instantly bringing the audience into the world of calligraphy. The key figures appear; Yan Zhenqing stands holding a box, his expression mournful, becoming the visual center, flanked on left and right by his gentle wife and his spirited nephew Yan Jiming, and at the two far ends stand respectively a powerful minister holding a flower branch and looking down from above, anda rebel clutching a sharp blade with a fierce expression. This arrangement of figures establishes, from the very opening, the narrative tone of a confrontation between righteousness and evil.
In terms of dance vocabulary, the work achieves a deep fusion of calligraphic art and dance art through"borrowing form to convey form." For instance, in the scholar dance segment of the first chapter, the dancers, based on the brushwork of calligraphy, focus on mobilizing the joints of fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulders, combined with the cadence of breathing, transforming calligraphic actions such as setting down the brush, pausing the brush, and lifting the brush into fluid bodily expression. Between movement and stillness, it both reveals the qualities of exposed tips and concealed tips in calligraphic art and highlights the high-spirited and full of vigor (意气风发, yi qi feng fa - "will, spirit, wind, send forth") of the scholarly literati. In the second and third chapters, the Yan clan's working together with one heart and mind (同心协力, tong xin xie li - "same, heart, cooperate, strength") and stepping forward bravely to take responsibility (挺身而出, ting shen er chu - "straight, body, and, emerge") also preserve the bodily connotations related to calligraphy, conveying the clan's cohesion and spirit of loyalty and righteousness, making the dance vocabulary correspond with the characters' identities and the thematic expression.
The work also, through its skillful use of traditional Chinese cultural symbols such as peonies, court tablets, feather fans, back flags, and pheasant tail feathers, both restores the historical scenes of the Tang dynasty and creates a traditional Chinese aesthetic mood. In the "Flourishing Flowers Dance" of the first chapter, the female dancers, clad in magnificent gowns embroidered with peonies, employ the tilted postures, weightless poses, and hip-driven parallel-step movements of Han-Tang dance style, which both display the elegant, dignified, and luxurious (雍容华贵, yong rong hua gui - "elegant, dignified, magnificent, expensive") quality of peonies and metaphorically suggest the crisis situation of the imperial court at that time; in the"Court Tablet Dance" of the second chapter, the dancers, holding court tablets, contend against one another in their steps forward and backward, and the movement of placing the court tablets on the ground and spinning them, vividly portrays the courtiers engaging in constant intrigue and maneuvering (钩心斗角, gou xin dou jiao - "hook, heart, struggle, angle") and each harboring their own secret selfish motives (各怀鬼胎, ge huai gui tai - "each, hold, ghost, embryo"). In the scenes expressing the peril of family and country, the use of traditional cultural symbols highlights another layer of profound meaning. In the"Back Flag Dance" of the work, which draws on the form of the back flags of martial male roles in Peking opera—red symbolizing loyalty and bravery, white representing uprightness and purity—the dancers advance in a triangular formation, their steps resounding with vigor, red back flags fluttering in the wind on stage, displaying the magnificent momentum of the Yan clan rushing to the battlefield and shaping their loyal and brave character.
The dance-drama Yan Zhenqing is not only a biography of a historical figure, but also a work that displays cultural inheritance, devotion to family and country, and the radiance of personality. In looking back at history, we can feel the lifelike and vivid (栩栩如生, xu xu ru sheng - "vivid, like, as, life") presence of the figures, feel the continued transmission of the Chinese cultural lineage, and moreover experience a fullness and satisfaction of being reflected upon and inspired by the moral fiber and spirit of the ancient sages.

For current music-variety shows, to avoid audience aesthetic fatigue, both content and form urgently need iterative upgrading. And the rich and varied musical practices of the masses — such as netizens' relay-singing videos spreading "breaking through the circle," village song competitions flourishing and in full swing, and so on — precisely contain valuable experience worth learning from. Toward these vivid musical phenomena, music-variety shows must not only pay attention to them, but also study them, drawing from them beneficial nourishment for improving the programs and raising the level of creative ideas.
The foremost thing is to cultivate the ability to discover music. Whether it is finding the next golden song, or cultivating the next new talent, it tests the eyes and ears of music-variety show production teams, requiring them to accurately grasp the public's emotional needs and aesthetic pulse. The process of discovery is not easy; traffic and heat can serve as clues, but what kind of music is truly moving, what in the lyrics and melodies attracts the masses, and what emotions they express — these still need to be discerned at the scene of social life.
The internet and artificial intelligence have lowered the threshold for music creation, and also brought abundant life experience into music. The online original song "Dear D," which appeared on the variety show "Voice of Heaven" Season 7, depicts the awkwardness of two lovers meeting for the first time, writing about how the two, while talking, unconsciously forget the passage of time. The moment the real, delicate scenes are presented, the song pierces into listeners' hearts. The "Daliangshan Niuniu Choir" performing "Sing a Song" on the variety show "Guoyue Wushuang" (National Music Unrivaled),, displays the longing of children in the mountains for a better life, and its full of vitality (生机勃勃, sheng ji bo bo - "life, energy, overflowing, overflowing") character is extremely infectious.
Although mass musical practices are vivid, they are inevitably also rough and immature, and the professional production of music-variety shows is like polishing a rough diamond (打磨璞玉, da mo pu yu - "polish, unpolished, jade"), and in this process, grasping the proper measure is very important. Take adaptation for example: what kind of adaptation suits a song depends first on what it wants to express. Luxurious arrangements, dazzling key changes and high notes, do not necessarily suit every song, and formulaic production instead tends to grind away the music's own distinctive features. The real skill of professional production lies in fully understanding, respecting, and leveraging the advantages of a piece of music's individuality, letting mass creation and professional production achieve mutual success. In Season 7 of "Voice of Heaven," the classic song "Yilan Love Story" had crosstalk elements added to it, adding life's flavor to a song that was already realistic; in "Guoyue Wushuang," some classic Mandarin songs, after being given Cantonese lyrics, had their emotional expression become deeper and more restrained. These are all results of deliberation, polishing, and grasp of proper measure. Rehearsal and guidance are also an important link. In the variety show "China's Singers," which concluded earlier this year, a music major student who had drawn attention for a campus singing video underwent a transformation after the program's intensive training and careful guidance from mentors, delivering a stunning stage performance.
The good voices and good works selected by the programs still need to return to public life to be tested. Appearing once on the hot list is not yet enough to prove a work's artistic quality. After a song steps down from the stage, whether it can be remembered and sung by people in daily life better reflects the power it has to move people's hearts. Recently, the song "Hollow Heart" received a million saves on a music platform, and a re-lyricized "Borrowed Time" received ten million plays, reflecting that music-variety shows are leading a new round of mass creation.
Turning vivid life experiences and creative passion into quality content beloved by the masses, letting good works endure and be sung far and wide, letting people hear their own lives in song, and also gain the interest and strength to express life. This is the goal music-variety shows should pursue, and also the responsibility mainstream platforms should shoulder.

Amid the prevailing trend in filmmaking toward big-budget productions, intricate plots, and frequent plot twists, Director Hu Mei's Ning Zhi Shou (凝脂手) makes a plain and unadorned return to realism and stands as a work of genuine sincerity. The film takes the tofu craftsmen of Shipai Town, Zhongxiang, Hubei as its prototypes, and uses the abandoned daughter Pan Douni's a life of ups and downs (半生浮沉, ban sheng fu chen - "half, life; float, sink") as its narrative main line, deeply interweaving an individual's fate with the spirit of craftsmanship and the transformations of the times, demonstrating the creative team's artistic skill.
The key to a cross-era narrative lies in its characters. If a cross-era story were told as a television drama, there would be ample room to lay out the backstory and refine the details, but placed within a 117-minute film, it can easily become a running account of the passage of the times, to the point where the characters disappear from view. The film Ning Zhi Shou firmly anchors itself in its characters, writing the hardships of its female protagonist Pan Douni and her refusal to bow to difficulties to the utmost. Why was it that when Pan Douni was a child, she could not even get a steamed bun to eat without going to find her birth mother? Why, after graduating from junior high school, did she burn her high school admission notice in one decisive act, determined to grind tofu and earn money to support her elder brother's schooling? Why did she come from Zhongxiang, Hubei to Yangquan, Shanxi, and then return to her hometown? In the film, the character's trajectory of growth always carries internal logic and a sense of the times. Pan Douni is a character who has grown out of the life of her era, bearing a refusal to yield, a steadfastness, and a self-reliance rooted in her native soil. Her story is a vivid microcosm of the transformations of the times, and also lets the audience feel that it is precisely these resilient ordinary people, one by one, who propel the times forward.
Ning Zhi Shou holds fast to traditional realism. Realism is not something conjured up while sitting in a room; without solid, deep immersion in life, there is no true realism. Director Hu Mei led the core creative team on dozens of trips to Shipai Town, Zhongxiang, to gather source material, visiting nearly a hundred tofu craftsmen and obtaining a large amount of vivid material drawn from life. Beyond the authenticity of the characters, the texture of the film's costumes, props, and sets, the restoration of the ancient town, the repeatedly appearing air-dried chicken, the cloth handicraft left by the mother, the rice tea that the people of Zhongxiang drink every day—these details are not mere decorations, but are naturally integrated into the narrative, becoming important supports for the authenticity of the plot and the truthfulness of the characters.
Abundant emotion is the foundation for moving the audience. Film art is a product of emotion; no matter how good the costumes, props, and sets are, or how advanced the technology, if the emotional expression is flat, it still cannot move the audience. The emotional narrative of Ning Zhi Shou progresses step by step or level by level (层层递进, ceng ceng di jin - "layer, layer; advance, advance"), and at the end of the film, the foster mother, in the last moment of her life, uses all her remaining strength to press Pan Douni's hand together with her birth mother's hand, pushing the film's emotion to its climax. At this moment the film also comes to an abrupt halt, leaving the audience with a long-lasting aftertaste. The film is rich in emotion yet restrained throughout, just like Letter to Grandma (给阿嬷的情书)—powerful films often are the ones that write the emotional scenes well.
From ancient times to the present, there have always been stories of the "Tofu Beauty" (豆腐西施); in folk legend, it is a woman grinding tofu to support her husband as he sits the imperial examinations; under Lu Xun's pen, it is Yang Ersao, a woman at the bottom of old society. Director Hu Mei's contemporary "Tofu Beauty" differs in essence from both of the above—Pan Douni, while helping others fulfill themselves, also fulfills herself, and moreover fulfills a piece of land and water. The film does not deliberately use misery-peddling or pathos-laden rendering to dramatize the bitterness of tofu-making, but instead, from an objective and calm perspective, witnesses step by step the female protagonist's growth and transformation, using the artistic key of truth, goodness, and beauty to open the door to the character's fate. Pan Douni has shed tears, has endured in silence, has silently confronted the injustice of fate, but has never let herself sink. The work deeply captures her delicate emotions, sincerely portrays her self-reliance and self-empowerment, and presents the success that comes naturally when conditions are ripe (水到渠成, shui dao qu cheng - "water, arrive; canal, form") of the character's personality and the spontaneous growth of her qualities. Only such a character image can win the trust and affection of the audience.

Return to TopTrees have been the object of my work in forestry education and scientific research for more than 40 years. After the Regulations on the Protection of Ancient and Famous Trees took effect in 2025, society's attention to ancient trees has risen markedly, and I have also incorporated popularization of ancient-tree knowledge into my work. Only after personally engaging in a task or situation (躬身入局, gong shen ru ju - "bend body, enter scene") did I discover that popularizing ancient-tree science is no easy task. Past popular-science works were rather scattered, with limited reach; although short videos now exist, the stories behind ancient trees are still not being excavated deeply enough.
Precisely because I know well the difficulties and pain points of ancient-tree science popularization, watching the documentary Trees Tell China, I felt deeply moved inside. The filming crew traveled across the length and breadth of the country, shooting on location, capturing both the ecological appearance of ancient trees and excavating the stories sedimented within their growth rings, striving to present plant-science knowledge, regional customs, and humanistic history all at once — the effort involved is admirable.
The main significance of Trees Tell China lies in innovating the expression paradigm of ancient-tree science popularization. Through truthful, exquisite imagery, it brings the diverse values and profound cultural heritage of ancient trees before the public, opening a window for us to understand ancient trees. For example, Turpan's century-old ancient mulberry trees, under a botanical perspective, are commonly known for their drought tolerance; the documentary, following their root systems, draws out the commercial thread of sericulture and mulberry cultivation spreading westward along the Silk Road, giving concrete expression to "vast changes over time" (沧海桑田, cang hai sang tian - "blue sea, mulberry field"). The landscape has undergone repeated transformations, yet the mulberry trees still stand, inscribed with the imprints of cultural exchange. In the film, the growth lines of trees and the development lines of civilization coincide with each other; through one ancient tree after another, it leads viewers to decipher the code of the Chinese cultural lineage's endless, continuous growth and development (生生不息, sheng sheng bu xi - "birth, birth, not, stop"). I sincerely hope that more stories of ancient trees will appear on screen, be seen, and be disseminated.

Since the small-theatre Peking opera Splashing Water Before the Horse (Ma Qian Po Shui) premiered in 2000, over the past two decades and more, small-theatre xiqu (traditional Chinese opera) has grown into an important front for upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground in the art form, distinguished by its agile and minimalist stage presentation, inward-probing analysis of human nature, and flexible, multifaceted narrative structures. At the recently held Third National Small-Theatre Drama Outstanding Works Showcase, the xiqu works were numerous in quantity and rich in subject matter, presenting a flourishing and prosperous (欣欣向荣, xin xin xiang rong - "joyful, joyful, towards, prosperous") development trend and providing vivid samples for observing contemporary xiqu innovation.
As the name suggests, the stage of small-theatre xiqu is small in scale, which first of all signifies a restructuring of the performer-audience relationship. Unlike the proscenium-arch stage of large theatres, the small theatre strives to break down the barrier between stage and auditorium, constructing a two-way interactive mode of performance and viewing. During the performance of the small-theatre Kunqu opera Within a Square Inch (Fang Cun Jian), the performance area and the audience seating were seamlessly connected, with the theatre seats transformed into part of the stage setting and the actors' entrance and exit pathways, and the orchestra placed close beside the audience. The actors' subtle expressions and breaths were completely visible at a single glance (一览无余, yi lan wu yu - "one, look, no, surplus"), while the audience's expressions and reactions were transmitted to the stage in real time, allowing the actors to adjust their performances accordingly and achieve a two-way emotional resonance.
Because the stage is small, the stage design of small-theatre xiqu abandons the elaborate realistic scenery of large theatres and returns instead to the suggestive tradition of "one table, two chairs," making greater use of symbolic props. For example, the small-theatre Cantonese opera Sigh of the Skeleton (Ku Lou Tan) uses only a single spherical prop to carry multiple layers of imagery and multiple layers of meaning. Small-theatre xiqu is not a matter of simply shrinking a full-length play and staging it on a smaller scale; rather, it must rely on the characteristics of the space to establish a live performance paradigm uniquely its own. The contraction of spatial scale forces the focus of performance to shift toward the characters' inner worlds—not winning through grand spectacle and thunderous sound effects, but amplifying subtle psychological expression and externalizing the spiritual world through stylized movement.
Small-theatre xiqu must naturally also take theatricality as its core attribute. Unlike traditional full-length plays that advance the plot through major events and intense external conflict, small-theatre xiqu is more accustomed to shifting conflict into the characters' spiritual interiors, focusing on the predicaments of human nature, value choices, and emotional struggles, and making good use of techniques such as flashback and the interweaving of the real and the illusory to stage collisions of ideas. Within a Square Inch externalizes the guilt in the swordsman's heart as a figure in black; the confrontation between the two symbolizes the struggle between the self and the inner demon, merging psychological conflict with physical action and generating abundant dramatic tension. By contrast, Sigh of the Skeleton revolves around an obsession with life and death to conduct philosophical inquiry; its conception is profound, but its conflict largely remains at the level of debate among the characters' ideas, lacking progressive events and actions as driving force, resulting in insufficient dramatic tension. This reminds creators that leaning toward inward exploration does not mean abandoning dramatic action. Only by letting intellectual inquiry rest on solid dramatic action can a work truly conquer its audience.
Avant-garde character is a valuable innovative quality of small-theatre xiqu, but being avant-garde is not about gimmickry in form. Small-theatre xiqu is, in essence, still xiqu. The performance system of singing, reciting, acting, acrobatics, and dancing; the performance principles of hands, eyes, body, technique, and steps; and the role system of sheng, dan, jing, mo, and chou together constitute the unshakable artistic foundation of xiqu. Creation may boldly innovate in narrative, stage design, and the performer-audience relationship, but it must not dissolve the vocal music, the stylized conventions, and the suggestive aesthetics. Blindly chasing visual stunts will only degenerate into an empty game of form. Innovative exploration must take root in the ontology of xiqu and guard against the creative pitfalls of turning xiqu into spoken drama, acrobatics, or vulgar entertainment.
The "small" of the small theatre refers to the smallness of spatial scale, but what it pursues is the greatness of spiritual scope; it does not seek grandeur of spectacle, but rather one play, one style, meticulously crafted and polished (精雕细琢, jing diao xi zhuo - "fine, carve, detailed, polish"). Only by continuing to take root in the ontology of xiqu, responding to the times, and interrogating human nature can small-theatre xiqu polish out more fine works and enable this ancient art form to continue radiating vigorous vitality on the contemporary stage.
