Revealing the design of "Three Bay Adaptation": How many steps are there in the secret of changing face?


Special feature of 1905 film network The Awakeing Age’s, yes, in recent years, the popular revolutionary historical film and television works, these actors all performed the same great man: Mao Zedong.They are all different in appearance, but why can they become so similar?


In addition to Chairman Mao, there are many heroic revolutionary heroes and great men’s images, which impressed everyone. How do different actors restore these revolutionary figures in their external images? Modeling and makeup design are indispensable.


"Film and television makeup is very different from our usual makeup. Film and television makeup is to complete the modeling task of the specified characters in the specified story and the specified plot. "


This issue of Behind the Scenes takes you into the movie "The Adaptation of Three Bays" to see Bai Lijun, a famous domestic film and television modeling expert and senior stylist of Bayi Film Studio, and reveals the film’s modeling and makeup design and the technical secrets of great people’s special makeup.


Revealing the Design of Three Bay Adaptations

Restore the clothing of the rebel army and the makeup of the soldiers of the workers and peasants revolutionary army


"Every little detail is exquisite and can’t be sloppy. After this comes out, the movie is real. "


In the program, Bai Lijun showed the audience the clothes of the rebel army designed in the film "Adaptation of Three Bays". The whole set of clothes included tops, breeches, belts, hats and red cloth armbands. "Zhou Enlai, He Long, Lu Deming and He Changgong all wore this kind of clothes." From the fabric, color and style to the detailed design of bags and buttons, they tried their best to restore the style of the clothes of that year.



In order to conform to the atmosphere of war, it is necessary to further make the clothes of the insurgents old when filming, such as adding some dust and blood.


Bai Lijun said, "There can be no falsehood, but it must be particularly true. When we make a historical film, we must understand that history and consult a lot of materials before we can shape the characters at that time. "



In addition to making old clothes, actors who play soldiers should also put on "war atmosphere makeup", which plays a vital role in all war movies. Without the rendering of these war atmosphere makeup, it is impossible to show the tragic war. "


The first step to create a war atmosphere makeup is to change the actor’s skin color and use a darker color to isolate him, showing the soldiers’ weather-beaten and dusty state on the battlefield.



The second step is to melt the wound, which is shown in detail by plasma made of special materials, which can be thick or thin.


The formula for making plasma includes a little white wine and red wine, a little brown sugar and a little food red. Bai Lijun said, "This kind of plasma has no harm at all, and it drops on the white shirt and is clean as soon as it is washed. This is the top secret recipe of our Bayi factory, and no one else can do it. "



The last step is to increase three-dimensional trauma, such as pasting "scars", deepening the color on the scars, turning bright red into cyan and purple, and making some scabbed scars. New injuries and old injuries exist at the same time, which enriches the overall effect and highlights the true state of soldiers injured in the war.


Bai Lijun said that the difficulty of making this makeup is that you can’t wear it when the movie changes scenes. "War atmosphere makeup is particularly difficult to pick up. This scar can’t be here today, and it will be there tomorrow. The blood left today is like this, and the blood left tomorrow is like that. "



Recalling the styling design of the film "Adapted from Three Bays", Bai Lijun revealed that it was raining all the time because it caught up with the rainy season during the location shooting, and a lot of atmosphere makeup melted as soon as it met water, which required them to constantly do makeup and makeup work in the rear, and encountered great difficulties.



How was Chairman Mao’s "Great Makeup" born?

Bai Lijun’s experience: Young makeup artists should pass the technical test.


In the category of film and television makeup, Bai Lijun thinks that it is the most difficult to make a great man’s special effect makeup. "The great man’s makeup requires a lot of technical content and is difficult, and it must have the makeup artist’s own design concept."


Bai Lijun was in charge of the first film with "Great Makeup" in Bayi Film Studio in 1982, which was also the second film starring the actor after becoming a special actor in Mao Zedong.



"Although Mr. Gu Yue looks like Chairman Mao, he doesn’t think his nose is similar enough." Bai Lijun used special makeup techniques to "shrink" Gu Yue’s nose, and at the same time strengthened the makeup effect of his nose, glued his eyes a little bigger, and affixed Chairman Mao’s signature mole, which made him closer to Chairman Mao’s appearance.


Later, in the series Armageddon and March, Chairman Mao in the film reached middle age, "his forehead became taller, his hairstyle changed, and his warts kept growing." According to the needs of the plot, according to the needs of different age groups, follow and adjust the shape. "



Nowadays, Mao Zedong’s special actors are led by the younger generation. Although the purpose of shaping Chairman Mao’s image as a great man remains unchanged, the performance style is changing, and the special effects technology of "Great Makeup" is constantly being updated and upgraded.


Bai Lijun said that the cosmetic material for making Chairman Mao’s "Great Makeup" headgear has been changed to imported high-definition yarn, and the material for "boils" has also been changed from latex to silicone rubber.


Especially in the production technology of headgear, it used to measure the size with a tape measure and make it on wood quinone. Since Gutian bugle, 3D scanning technology has been used to model it. "In the past, I was always afraid that the sideburns were not suitable, but now I have a head mold as the foundation, which is very accurate."



Bai Lijun began to learn modeling and makeup design from the model drama "The Red Lantern". At that time, she learned to hook a moustache and hooked more than 100 times the first time. After learning to hook a moustache, she learned to make a headgear.


"Just care about. Every one is very important. " Bai Lijun believes that every hair is very important whether making a beard or a headgear. If you don’t know these production methods, you can’t be a good makeup artist.


"You must work hard and learn this technology patiently. You can’t just order one from the outside and ask others to hook one. That’s not your creation. You have to do it yourself. This is a creative process. "



After 50 years in business, Bai Lijun said that she was proud that she had been doing this all her life. She reminded young makeup artists not to be eager for quick success and instant benefit, but to be down-to-earth. Even if the learning process is boring, they must learn the basic skills solidly and pass the exam. "Learning studio makeup may soon be a disciple, but film and television makeup is different, and it will take at least three or five years to understand."


The successful shooting of a film can’t be separated from the staff running around behind the scenes. Like directors, screenwriters, photographers, artists, recording and other positions, plastic makeup designers also hide behind the camera to help the actors shape their roles in the external image. Without them, the actors will lose their makeup and the "coat" of performance.



This group of behind-the-scenes heroes are unknown and worthy of respect. Bai Lijun also appealed to the audience: "I hope that when the film ends with subtitles, we must stick to the end. I hope that you can all see our names."


Preventing Disaster Risk and Escorting High-quality Development —— CCTV Lifeline broadcast a special program on May 12th National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day

Do you know about natural disasters?

Earthquakes, mountain torrents, mudslides, typhoons, floods, blizzards, forest fires … … These natural disasters happen every year. When a serious disaster comes, it will destroy a city in an instant and make many people lose their homes, even their relatives.

May 12, 2023 is the 15th National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day. The theme of this year is "Preventing disaster risks and escorting high-quality development". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has put forward a series of new ideas and concepts on disaster prevention, mitigation and relief. The Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Reform of the System and Mechanism of Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief put forward that "to promote the reform of the system and mechanism of disaster prevention, we must firmly establish the concept of disaster risk management and comprehensive disaster reduction, adhere to the combination of prevention first, prevention and rescue, adhere to the unity of normal disaster reduction and abnormal disaster relief, and strive to realize the transformation from focusing on post-disaster relief to focusing on pre-disaster prevention".

In order to find out the hidden dangers of natural disasters in various parts of China, the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters will be carried out in 2020 with the consent of the State Council. In three years, with the participation of nearly 5 million professional and technical personnel from various regions, the nationwide census has achieved initial results.

From 2020, reporters from Lifeline went to Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places for follow-up reports. On May 12th and 13th, two episodes of National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day special program "Data Empowering to Protect Peace" will be broadcast continuously in the Lifeline column of CCTV-12.

Take precautions and be precise first.

Arrange emergency equipment so that the distress information is no longer blocked.

Fujian province is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. There are many kinds of natural disasters and they are prone to occur frequently. Once disasters occur, the disaster situation should not be underestimated.

Typhoon, rainstorm, flood, mountain torrents and mudslides, as coastal areas, more than 30 coastal counties in Fujian Province are frequently affected by marine disasters. Villagers have lived here for generations. How to prevent disasters to make them live and work in peace and contentment?

Since the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters was carried out, the emergency department has collected and adopted the data of all the population and housing disaster-bearing bodies in 33 coastal counties, investigated and summarized the historical data of disasters, and calculated the elevation of coastal seawalls in the whole province with reference to relevant data, so as to help the staff to divide the dangerous areas more accurately and let the people prepare for danger avoidance in advance.

In addition to marine disasters, flood waterlogging caused by heavy rain is also one of the major natural disasters faced by Fujian Province. Whenever the flood season comes, typhoons are swept by heavy rain. The flash floods caused by heavy rain will not only endanger the safety of villagers’ lives and property, but even more frightening is that some remote villages will be lost, and rescue work cannot even be carried out.

In order to solve this problem, the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government equipped 3,550 high-risk areas and villages with high-risk mountain torrents with satellite phones. The emergency satellite phone has both mobile and fixed terminals, and the system has its own satellite search function, which can be used in bad weather and without public network. Through this census, satellite phones have been accurately put into every remote and high-risk village, effectively solving the problems of difficulty in asking for help and being rescued in these areas. Not only that, Nan ‘an, Quanzhou, which is located in the southeast coast, is affected by extreme weather all the year round. After the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters was carried out, Nan ‘an City set up a total of 2,259 broadcasting points. Based on the refined data obtained from the survey, in 2023, the city will add 43 community emergency broadcasting points, and extend to cover more than 50 natural villages in the city, achieving 100% coverage of administrative villages and communities in the city.

The smart emergency command platform issued an early warning at the first time.

Jiangxi Province is one of the provinces suffering from serious natural disasters in China, with an average annual direct economic loss of more than 10 billion yuan. There are more than 2,400 rivers in the province, and the forest coverage rate ranks second in the country. Frequent natural disasters have a great impact on the production, life and economic development of local people.

The intelligent emergency command platform established by Ruichang Emergency Management Bureau according to the census data can grasp the dynamic information of every disaster-prone point in the city in real time, and monitor it in real time for 24 hours. Once the front is sensed, it can respond quickly and conveniently. Monitoring probes and infrared virtual railings are installed in 34 key waters in the city. Once someone approaches, they can be persuaded to leave by shouting.

On January 20, 2023, Ruichang Smart Emergency Command Platform issued an alarm, and abnormal temperature appeared in Hongyandong Scenic Area. The induction system quickly captured the fire point and uploaded screenshots to the platform. Hongyandong is a place with steep mountains and dense forests, so it is very difficult to put out the fire. There have been many fires in this place in history, and the shortest fire extinguishing time takes 3 days.

However, in this fire, under the command and dispatch of the intelligent emergency command platform, the fire was put out within ten hours. This efficient response made the local people really feel the sense of security brought by the census data.

From 2020 to 2023, the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters lasted for three years. In view of 23 kinds of disasters in six categories, such as earthquakes, geology, meteorology, floods and droughts, marine, forest and grassland fires, people’s governments at all levels in provinces, cities and counties set up census leading groups, formulated plans and formed teams, comprehensively found out the hidden danger base of national disasters, identified the disaster resistance ability of key areas, and objectively understood the comprehensive risk level of disasters in the country and regions. The first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters has entered the stage of evaluation and zoning, and the data of the future survey will be better applied.

New regulations: running a red light will be punished, and "running a green light" in Shenzhen will also be punished!

  CCTV News:From September 1st, Shenzhen traffic police began to focus on the rectification of illegal traffic behaviors of "rushing to the green light". Everyone is familiar with running a red light. What is a "green light"? What is the harm of "green light"?

  What is a "green light"?

  The so-called "green light" means that when the signal light turns green, if the vehicle in front is still blocked in the center of the intersection, then the motor vehicle should wait outside the intersection, otherwise it will constitute a "green light".

  "Running the green light" makes the traffic from congestion to paralysis.

  At noon on August 31, at the Industrial Road, Xixiang Avenue, Shenzhen, the intersection was blocked due to the detention of vehicles, and at this time, the vehicles behind were still pushing forward.

  Wang Haidi, deputy section chief of the Legal Department of shenzhen public Traffic Police Department, said that when the traffic is in a state of congestion and stagnation like this, the vehicles in front of the stop line should not continue to enter the intersection at the green light. Once these vehicles enter the intersection, vehicles that need to turn left on another road will be unable to drive, which will aggravate the congestion at the intersection.

  

The same situation also occurred at the intersection of Renmin Park Road, Jiefang Road, Shenzhen. Left-turning vehicles still pushed forward even though the intersection was blocked, while straight vehicles also chose to move forward despite the serious congestion ahead, resulting in traffic paralysis at this intersection in just over ten seconds.

  Wang Haidi said that this kind of behavior constitutes a "green light."

  How to judge whether the green light can pass at a traffic intersection?

  As we have seen in the surveillance video, the "green light" will cause a continuous backlog of vehicles at intersections, forming a large area of congestion, and it is also easy to cause collisions between vehicles. For drivers, how to judge whether they should pass at the green light intersection?

  

  First, when the green light is on, if the straight direction is blocked, then the straight traffic must wait outside the intersection, and the left and right traffic can pass normally.

  

  Second, when the green light is on, if there is traffic jam in the left, straight and right directions, traffic in all directions must wait outside the intersection.

  

  Third, when the green light is on, the left-turn direction is blocked, and the left-turn traffic must wait outside the intersection, and the straight and right-turn traffic can run normally.

  Feng Xinyi, deputy director of shenzhen public Traffic Police Bureau, said that subjectively speaking, the vehicles in the center of the intersection have stopped and can’t move, that is, don’t go in again.

  It has long been stipulated that "rushing to the green light" is illegal.

  In the traditional cognition of many drivers, "green light" is not an illegal act. But in fact, China’s road traffic safety law has already made relevant provisions on "rushing to the green light".

  

  Article 53 of China’s "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that in case of traffic jam at the intersection ahead, motor vehicles should wait outside the intersection in turn and not enter the intersection. Article 12 (1) (4) of the Regulations on Penalties for Road Traffic Safety Violations in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone stipulates that in case of traffic jam at the intersection ahead, if you fail to stop outside the intersection according to law and forcibly enter, you will be fined by 300 yuan; Article 12, paragraph 2, stipulates that anyone who commits the acts mentioned in the preceding paragraph for more than three times within one year shall be fined by 500 yuan every time from the third time.

  Increase the police force’s special rectification "green light"

  Shenzhen traffic police said that starting from September 1st, the traffic police will increase police input, organize all police forces, such as road police on duty, peak police on duty, and iron riding patrol police, to specifically rectify the green light rushing behavior. At the same time, a special electronic police will be added at the intersection to automatically capture the illegal act of "rushing to the green light".

  

  Wang Haidi said that the purpose of carrying out the special rectification of "rushing to the green light" is to let the public know that "rushing to the green light" is an illegal act, better abide by road traffic laws and regulations, and stop entering the intersection when the traffic is blocked, so that the vehicles in the middle of the intersection can vacate as soon as possible and restore normal traffic order.

  Punishment will start from the third week of September.

  It is understood that the first two weeks of September will serve as a publicity transition period, that is, a period of impunity for violations. In the first week of September, publicize and educate vehicles that violate the law and "rush the green light"; In the second week, an on-site verbal warning was given; From the third week, a comprehensive investigation will be carried out.

Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: Popularizing Improved Varieties, Actively Fighting Drought and Effectively Reducing Disaster Losses

  CCTV News:In addition to high-standard farmland construction, China has actively promoted excellent varieties of food crops and strengthened technical guidance, effectively reducing disaster losses such as drought.

  According to reports, this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs selected and released 128 leading varieties of grain and oil production. In terms of excellent varieties, it achieved full coverage of improved varieties of grain crops, which strongly supported the stable production and increase of autumn grain this year. The reporter learned that some new varieties with high quality, high yield and drought resistance have played a role in some drought-stricken areas in the south.

  Cao Zhibin, Head of High Temperature Resistant Rice Project of Jiangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences:The new high-temperature resistant rice varieties we have developed can effectively solve the problem of low seed setting rate of rice under continuous high temperature, and our measured yield per mu should reach more than 1300 kilograms.

  Qian Qian, Academician of China Academy of Sciences:Varieties with high quality, high yield and drought tolerance have played a very important role this year. When I went to Jiangsu, I found that these varieties are basically good in fruiting, and the overall (drought) impact is there, but the impact is controllable.

  According to reports, in the critical period of autumn grain production, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has formulated and issued six technical guidance opinions on rice resistance to high temperature and heat damage and corn resistance to high temperature and drought in the south, and sent 25 contact guidance working groups, 10 expert guidance groups and 12 scientific and technological teams to provide in-depth production of first-line guidance services.

  Zhu Juan, Director of Agricultural Information Division, Planting Management Department, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:In view of the high temperature and drought in the south, the central government allocated 10 billion yuan to support the drought resistance of mid-season rice. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with relevant departments, tried every means to dispatch drought-resistant water sources, drill wells for irrigation, and implement measures such as "spraying drought-resistant water-retaining agent", replanting and replanting, which effectively reduced disaster losses.

Low-quality social interaction is far less than high-quality solitude.

News playback

According to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily, nearly 60% of the respondents feel that there are many "ineffective social activities" in their circle of friends. Setting the message not to disturb and the number of days that the circle of friends can be seen is the main way for respondents to "reduce the burden" on their circle of friends. To establish high-quality social relationships, 68.3% of the respondents suggested setting a sense of boundaries for social interaction in leisure time, and dare to refuse certain social occasions. 53.6% of the respondents suggested distinguishing social accounts of work and life and dividing boundaries for different social interactions.

Host language

Man is a social animal. Efficient and deep social communication and the division of labor and cooperation arising from it are second nature of human beings. However, the history of technological progress has always been accompanied by the process of opposing technological alienation. People invented the circle of friends, and suddenly found that it has increasingly become a performance social show. Returning to common sense and looking back at the initial heart may be more important than measuring the effectiveness of social interaction.

Youth theory

Low-quality social interaction is far less than high-quality solitude.

In the information age, it is difficult to avoid the "invalid" part in social interaction, because there is no guarantee that everyone you meet will not come and go in the future, and there will be no place to ask for help in the future. Therefore, it is the best way to maintain the circle of friends with painstaking efforts. Low-cost courtesy, praise from friends and mass holiday blessings have become the best way. 

The development of the Internet has brought convenience to social interaction, but the pervasive network has made social interaction lose its sense of boundary and brought invisible pressure. The circle of friends visible to everyone can no longer share their lives as they please; Most of the group chat messages that keep popping up have nothing to do with themselves, but they are afraid of missing important notices; I can’t get rid of the dinner and meaningless greetings, and I’m afraid of saying the wrong thing, which takes my brain and trouble. Modifying the visible range of friends circle, folding group chat, setting grouping and other functions came into being. These are silent resistance to ineffective social interaction and awakening of self-awareness. Instead of creating people to please others, they set aside boundaries for their own lives and pay attention to their own feelings.

Rejecting ineffective social interaction and focusing on your heart is the most important thing. Low-quality social interaction is far less than high-quality solitude. In fact, taking interests and hobbies as social orientation rather than benefits is not only relaxing and enjoyable, but also can actively learn and accept more things, so that social interaction can return to its own meaning. High-quality social interaction requires first determining one’s social goals and goals, choosing social scope, conducting social activities in a directional way, and focusing time and energy on important people and things in order to establish a deep social relationship with them. In addition, spending time in high-quality solitude is also a way to communicate with yourself. You are the one who knows your own advantages and disadvantages best. Examining and refining yourself is also an important way to improve yourself. (Liang Shuang Guangxi University for Nationalities Xiangsihu College, 2020 undergraduate)

China Education News, July 18th, 2023, 2nd edition. 

Insist on Chinese modernization and promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation (thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech at the seminar for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels, pointing out: "On the basis of long-term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, and through theoretical and practical breakthroughs since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization." "The modernization we promoted is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), and we must persist in promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization." In the 10 years of the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core United and led the whole party and the people of all nationalities to make historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the country, successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization, and realized the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which entered an irreversible historical process.

  Chinese modernization is based on the leadership of the party.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Upholding the overall leadership of the Party is the foundation for the prosperity of the country and the nation and the happiness and well-being of the people of all ethnic groups in the country." Adhering to the party’s overall leadership is the fundamental guarantee for Chinese modernization to always adhere to the fundamental direction of socialism and forge ahead towards the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Ensure that Chinese modernization always has a strong leadership core. As a developing country with a large population, China is bound to bear all kinds of pressures and severe challenges that other countries have never encountered in the historical process of modernization. Only by adhering to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership can Chinese modernization have a strong leadership core and overcome various risks and challenges on the road ahead. It is under the strong leadership of the party that the top-level design of China’s socialist modernization has been continuously improved and the political guarantee has become stronger. It took decades to complete the industrialization process that developed countries have gone through for hundreds of years. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, socialist modernization has marched with great success, and historic achievements and changes have taken place in the cause of the party and the state, which has laid a solid development foundation and created many favorable conditions for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

  Ensure that Chinese modernization always advances in the right direction. Socialist modernization is an unprecedented undertaking, and there is no ready-made experience to follow, so it is bound to advance in exploration. Only by upholding the party’s leadership can we ensure that Chinese modernization will always move forward firmly in the right direction. In the new era, the Party’s overall leadership has been fully implemented and reflected in various fields such as reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and the management of the party, the country and the army. The Party’s core role of overall planning and coordination of all parties has been fully exerted, and the Party’s ruling ability and leadership level have been continuously improved, which has provided the correct direction for promoting and expanding Chinese modernization.

  Ensure that Chinese modernization will always maintain strong vitality. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the backbone of the people of Chinese and the Chinese nation. In the course of long-term struggle, our party has continuously promoted the development of the cause of the party and the state with the sobriety and firmness of "rushing to the exam". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has persisted in strictly administering the Party in an all-round way, effectively coping with the "four major tests" and resolutely overcoming the "four dangers", and the Party’s political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization and social appeal have been significantly enhanced. Our Party leads the great social revolution with the great self-revolution, leads the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics to win new victories, and injects great vitality into Chinese modernization.

  Chinese modernization takes socialism as the fundamental direction.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The modernization we are promoting is the socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC)". The essential attribute of socialism determines the fundamental nature and direction of Chinese modernization, and highlights the unique advantages of Chinese modernization.

  Adhere to the people-centered development thought. The people’s position is the fundamental political position of Marxist political parties. Different from the capital-centered modernization in the west, Chinese modernization always adheres to the people-centered development thought, thus forming a correct concept of development and modernization. The Chinese-style modernization concept of development and modernization is embodied in the people’s sense of gain, happiness and security, which is more substantial, more secure and more sustainable. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have won the battle against poverty as scheduled, built a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled, and the Millennium expectation of China people has come true. The people-centered development thought has condensed great power for the successful promotion of Chinese modernization; The continuous advancement of Chinese modernization has brought visible and tangible benefits to the broad masses of the people, which are beneficial to both the present and the long-term.

  Unswervingly push for common prosperity. Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism. Chinese modernization is committed to promoting social fairness and justice and gradually realizing the common prosperity of all people by consciously and actively solving the regional gap, the urban-rural gap and the income distribution gap. In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has deeply studied the goals of different stages in the process of leading and promoting Chinese modernization, emphasizing the promotion of common prosperity by stages. In the process of modernization, it constantly promotes common prosperity, profoundly embodies the socialist essential stipulation of Chinese modernization, and highlights the distinct advantages of Chinese modernization compared with western polarized modernization.

  Promote the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of society. It is the unremitting pursuit of socialism to promote the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of society. Chinese-style modernization aims at promoting the all-round development of human beings and the all-round progress of society, and is committed to promoting the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization, thus surpassing the modernization of western materialism. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with the Supreme Leader as the core, has persisted in taking economic construction as the center, promoted the overall layout of "five in one" and coordinated the promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layouts, laying a solid foundation and providing a strong guarantee for promoting the all-round development of people and social progress.

  Adhere to the path of peaceful development. Chinese-style modernization adheres to the path of peaceful development, benefits the world while developing itself, promotes the building of a community of human destiny, and constantly injects strong positive energy into world peace and development, which not only embodies the law of socialist construction, but also embodies the law of human social development, and realizes the transcendence of modernization of western expansion and plunder. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the guidance of the concept of a community of human destiny, China has held high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, promoted the common values of all mankind, promoted global development and global security, enriched the path selection of human civilization towards modernization, and expanded the way for developing countries to modernize.

  Chinese modernization aims at national rejuvenation.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In the past 100 years, all the struggles, sacrifices and creations that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has led the people of China in unity have come down to one theme: realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the historical aspiration of Chinese people and the great dream of the Chinese nation, and it is also the goal of Chinese modernization.

  National rejuvenation has become the mission pursuit of Chinese modernization. After modern times, China was passively involved in the process of world modernization led by the West, and the Chinese nation, which suffered unprecedented disasters, began to explore a modernization road suitable for itself and made unremitting efforts to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It can be said that China’s exploration of the road to modernization has the dual connotation of realizing modernization and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation from the beginning. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has anchored the goal of Chinese modernization. Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the people of China have successfully embarked on the road of Chinese modernization, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.

  National rejuvenation highlights the internal logic of Chinese modernization. All the struggles that our Party unites and leads the people of China are aimed at building our country into a modern power and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the historical process of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, our party keeps pace with the times to promote theoretical innovation and practical innovation, deepen its understanding, mature its strategy and enrich its practice in building a socialist modern country, and always firmly grasp the internal logic of Chinese modernization. In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core proposed to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power in two steps in the middle of this century, and defined a series of new features of Chinese modernization, which provided a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation and a more active spiritual strength for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  National rejuvenation stimulates the spiritual power of Chinese modernization. Exploring the road to modernization is a hard course, which cannot be separated from the support of strong spiritual strength. Over the past hundred years, our party has always regarded the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its historical mission, and the realization of modernization as the historical ambition, unswerving goal, powerful motive force for continuous struggle and mission of seeking happiness for the people, which has provided lasting and strong spiritual motivation for promoting Chinese modernization. Inspired by this powerful spiritual power, our party united and led the people of China to successfully embark on the road of Chinese modernization and create a new form of human civilization. Pushing forward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization and strutting along the right path of our own choice will surely build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power.

If you blow a big hole in the Himalayas, will the northwest become a land of fish and rice?

The windward slope of the Himalayas is the place with the most precipitation in the world. The annual precipitation exceeds 10,000 mm, which is about 10 meters. And to the north of the Himalayas, the whole place is barren and completely desert.

Many people are thinking, if I blow a big hole in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau or the Himalayas and put water vapor in it, will the climate of the whole Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the whole northwest change fundamentally and become a land of plenty?

Text | Wei Ke Associate Research Fellow lasg

This article was reprinted from WeChat WeChat official account "Yi Xi Club" (ID: yixiclub). The original article was first published on June 7, 2021. The original title was "If we blow a big hole in the Himalayas, will the whole northwest become a land of fish and rice?" | Wei Ke’s 771st Speaker does not represent the viewpoint of a think tank.

Why is the northwest unusually dry?

Hello, I’m Wei Ke, from lasg. The Institute of Atmospheric Physics was formerly the Institute of Meteorology, Academia Sinica during the Republic of China, and its first director was Mr. Zhu Kezhen, so the research on climate in China has a history of more than 90 years since then.

Our institute of atmospheric physics has an observation station in the Gobi desert, which is about 200 kilometers away from Dunhuang city. It is very dry around this observation station, as it was a few days ago.

On May 24th, this observatory in Gobi ushered in the nth sandstorm this year, where n is a relatively large number.

If the wind speed will decrease a little in a few days and wait until summer, then it is likely to be like this.

As you can see, whether it’s spring or summer, no matter how full of green is in our eastern region,This place seems to be deserted forever, very, very dry.

Let me make some comparisons here. For example, as many of us know, Yan ‘an and Yulin are above the Loess Plateau and seem to be relatively dry areas. But in fact, from the annual average precipitation, we can see that the upper left picture shows the precipitation in Yan’ an, with an annual average of more than 500 mm. The average annual precipitation in Beijing is close to 600 mm, so Yan ‘an is not much different from Beijing.

But when we compare it, we know that the annual precipitation in Dunhuang is about 40 mm, which is less than one day’s precipitation in the eastern region. It is normal for a rainstorm in the eastern region to reach 100 mm. Take a look again. Yinchuan is 193mm, Xining is 387mm and Urumqi is 270mm. These places are very dry.

Recently, some people may have seen a news that the Mu Us Desert in northern Shaanxi seems to be disappearing soon. But in fact, the average annual precipitation in places like Maowusu is close to 400 mm, and ecological restoration in those places is possible.The annual precipitation in Dunhuang is less than 50 mm, so it is basically impossible to turn these places into a place of full of green.

If you want to know the climate of China, it is actually very simple. You can basically divide China into two parts by drawing a line from the northeast to the southwest.

Southeast China is a land of plenty, with a large population, active economy and a lot of precipitation. The whole northwest region is relatively dry, and its economic activity is not as good as that of the eastern region. This is a very typical climate dividing line.This climatic dividing line is often called "Hu Huanyong Line", which basically runs along the dividing line with an average annual precipitation of 400 mm..

If we push the dividing line further west, we will find that there is an area where the average annual precipitation does not exceed 200 mm at most, which is in this orange area.

▲ Average annual precipitation

Comparing the precipitation in South China, the average annual precipitation can often reach 1600 mm, which is very large.

It’s just that there is little precipitation. The evaporation in this place is very large.There is basically no cloudy weather all year round, and the sun is direct, which is very suitable for evaporation, so the annual evaporation is very large, basically above 1000 mm.

▲ Annual potential evaporation

In Dunhuang and other places I circled in red, the evaporation is even close to 2000 mm. Then let’s think about the balance of water-the precipitation is 200 mm, but it is possible to evaporate 2000 mm. It is strange that this place is not dry.

Why is this place so dry? In fact, the reason is very simple.Geographically, this place is inland and lacks water vapor. Water vapor comes from the ocean, but it is very far from any ocean.

If we want to find a place on the earth, which is the farthest from the ocean, I guess it must be in the northwest. Whether it is from the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Indian Ocean in the south, the Atlantic Ocean in the west or the Arctic Ocean in the north, it is very far away. So even if there is water vapor flow and atmospheric circulation, it can’t come in the middle.

We made such a numerical simulation. If there is only land, but there is no Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, no Pamirs Plateau and no barrier of these landforms, the simulated climate is the same, and there is very little precipitation in Central Asia.

This arrow represents the wind direction, which means the direction of water vapor transportation. We don’t think the water vapor from the Indian Ocean will go directly to the north, but it will turn east when it walks and turn to the eastern part of our country.

Another reason, we call it the foehn effect in meteorology.The distribution of water vapor on the earth satisfies relatively simple physical laws, which we call Clabolon-Clausius equation. The higher the temperature, the closer it is to the ground, the more water vapor can be contained in the air. The lower the temperature and the higher the distance from the ground, the lower the water vapor content in the atmosphere.

If there is a mountain, on the windward side of the mountain, the wind comes with water vapor and then climbs gradually. In the process of climbing, the temperature of the air gradually decreases, and soon it will condense to form rainfall, and then precipitation will form on the windward slope.

Because the water has been lowered in the process of climbing the mountain, it becomes dry air after climbing the mountain. So we can see that,In the windward slope, it is generally very humid, while in the leeward slope, dry and hot valleys often form.

The whole northwest of China is surrounded by mountains.The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the south, the Pamirs and Tianshan Mountains in the west, and the mountains in the north. The east is very, very far from the sea, so if there is airflow over the mountains, no matter where you come from, it will definitely dry up there.

If the air flows from the Indian Ocean to the northwest, then you can think about which mountains it will cross-Himalayas, Gangdise Mountains, Tanggula Mountains and Karakorum Mountains. This series of mountains is turned over, and each mountain is like a dehydrator.

The airflow rushed directly to the height of more than 6,000 meters in the sky, and it was continuously dehydrated during the mountain climbing. The remaining water vapor continued to take off when passing through the next mountain range until it reached the northwest, and it became very dry, and no water vapor could fall down.

On the other hand, there is the role of atmospheric circulation.. If our land and sea distribution does not change, one side is Eurasia, the other side is the Pacific Ocean, and the south is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, at this time, a high pressure center will definitely form in the high altitude of this place in the northwest, just like the dark area I gave in the picture.

Where the high pressure area is located, the air sinks, and when it sinks, it will easily make the clouds dissipate, and the sinking will form a warming.So even if there is a little cloud in that place, it will dissipate in the process of sinking and become cloudless weather. Therefore, the northwest region is basically the region with the strongest solar radiation and the richest solar energy resources in our country.

Then these points are combined, far away from the ocean, deep inland and surrounded by mountains-the foehn effect after the formation of mountains makes this place very dry.

Let’s compare. This picture is along the north and south of the Himalayas. We can see that in the south of the Himalayas, it is a green country. The whole Indochina Peninsula, as well as South Asia, is very humid and the precipitation is very high.

▲ North and South Himalayas

The windward slope of the Himalayas is the place with the most precipitation in the world. The annual precipitation exceeds 10,000 mm, which is about 10 meters.And to the north of the Himalayas, the whole place is barren and completely desert.

In addition, if you look at the contrast between the north and the south of Tianshan Mountain, you can see that it is humid on the windward side of Tianshan Mountain, but it is very dry and deserted on the leeward side.

▲ North and South Tianshan Mountains

If we match the terrain and precipitation in the whole country, we can see that,The precipitation in the eastern part of our country comes from the Pacific Ocean. In the process of westward advancement, the water vapor in the Pacific Ocean first forms precipitation in Nanling, Lingnan and the area south of Wuyishan in South China.. The average annual precipitation in these places can reach 1600 mm.

After dehydration of a series of ups and downs in Nanling and Wuyishan,In the Yangtze river basin, the average annual precipitation will drop to 1000 ~ 1200mm.. These mountains in Nanling are not particularly high, only a few hundred meters at the highest, so this dehydration effect can be achieved.

Then when we go west from the first step to the second step of our country, we have to cross Wushan, Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and Taihang Mountains. After this series of mountain dehydration,In places like Shaanxi and Shanxi, the average annual precipitation drops to 500-700 mm.

Note that even when the precipitation drops to 500 and 700 in this place, we haven’t encountered a particularly decent mountain. For example, Huashan Mountain, the highest mountain in the Five Mountains, is only over 2,000 meters above sea level, which is less than halfway up the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, because the average ground height of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is above 4,500 meters. You can imagine how dry this water vapor will become when it goes west and passes through a series of mountains.

How long is the history of drought in northwest China?

Northwest China is not so dry just now. If we look at the history of northwest China, we will know that the dry history of this place is very long. We know that there are coal and oil in many places in Xinjiang, which shows that the ecological conditions in this place were very good before, and there may have been forests and lake bottoms.

In fact, this place is a place called the Deputy Tethys Sea in history. This sea has gradually shrunk and become the present Mediterranean, while the western region has gradually retreated from the coastal area to the inland area.

When that place becomes dry, the wind will scrape out the soil on the ground and then fall down in other places, forming the loess plateau with a very large area in our country. Therefore, by investigating the history of the Loess Plateau, we can know how long the history of drought in northwest China is.According to the current research, the Loess Plateau has a history of about 22 million years, so the drought in the northwest has such a long history.

With the uplift of the Himalayas and the uplift of the whole Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the whole northwest has become drier. Some numerical simulations made by scientists confirm this process.

For example, if we assume that there is only land, but there is no Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the whole Pamirs, we will gradually increase the altitude, the scale of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will gradually increase, and the altitude will gradually increase, and the height is only 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of the current height. Then we will simulate its climate.

It is found that during the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the precipitation in Central Asia and northwest China depicted by the red circle is gradually decreasing, while the precipitation in the southern region is gradually increasing. That is to say, that place is already in the inland area, which is very dry, and the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has reduced the precipitation in that place and made it drier.

Blow a big hole in the Himalayas

So many people are thinking,If I blow a big hole in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau or the Himalayas and put water vapor in it, will the climate of the whole Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the whole northwest change fundamentally and become a land of plenty?

In fact, scientists have thought about this idea. In a speech recorded by Mr. Li Ruihuan in 1995, it was mentioned that some scientists also mentioned this idea, including Mr. Qian Xuesen and Mr. Qian Sanqiang.

The scientific community has had a serious discussion on this topic.Although the Himalayas is a long mountain range, it actually has many mountain passes and many small openings, one of which is the entire Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, which looks like this.

▲ Natural water vapor channel-Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon

The Yarlung Zangbo River flows from west to east, turns through the Grand Canyon, and then flows south and out of the border.

This is a natural incision.Can this cut bring about a better climate in the whole Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? The answer is no.

Even if there is such a hole, it has not brought about fundamental climate change in the whole Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The only influence is that there are many towering snow-capped mountains on both sides of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, and the scale and number of snow-capped mountains are more than those in other places.

Many people may say that this cut in the canyon looks a little small, and we want to make a bigger one. Then if you open your mouth a little wider, will it fundamentally change the climate? Scientists have done some numerical simulations about this problem. We simulated a big hole-about 1000 kilometers wide, 1000 kilometers wide, and driving from Beijing is almost to Wuhan; It is about 1000 meters deep.

The result is that after opening such a hole, there will be some increase in precipitation in the southern and central areas of this hole, but the precipitation in the northern part of this hole will decrease.

The reason is very simple. After the opening, the dry air from the north will go south along the opening and meet the air from the south in the opening, thus increasing some precipitation in the southern and central regions, while the precipitation in the northern region will decrease due to the influence of the dry air. This does not seem to bring more water resources to the whole northwest region.

Then someone may have said, can you drive a little deeper? It seems that you have only dug 4000 meters. Can you dig further? OK, our researchers have done some numerical simulations.

If an incision is made, it is 300 kilometers wide, as far as driving from Beijing to Shijiazhuang, and the depth reaches zero meters above sea level, that is, it is as deep as the sea level. From the Bay of Bengal, whether Bangladesh agrees or not, Nepal agrees or not, no matter what, it will push all the way from the seaside there to dig through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The simulation results are basically similar to the previous results, with precipitation increasing in the southern part of the passage and still decreasing in the northern part.The reason is simple: dry air from the north came in. Then this gives us a revelation: we may shake mountains easily, but it is difficult to shake the whole atmospheric circulation, and the whole circulation will not change fundamentally.

The reason why Kaizi can’t change the climate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and northwest China is that even if such a hole is opened, it can’t change the root cause of drought in northwest China.First, it is far from any ocean; Second, the mountains are all around, and any airflow over the mountains will sink, which will form a warming, and the warming will become very dry.

There is another point. Even if there are no mountains, as long as there is a normal distribution of land and sea in Eurasia and the Pacific Ocean, a high-pressure area will be formed in this place, and the high-pressure area is a sinking airflow.

Last year, we wrote some popular science articles in Voice of Chinese Academy of Sciences, discussing with you why the proposal of Himalayan mountain mouth is not reliable. At this time, many people contacted us and said that you might have opened your mouth in a wrong position. It is said that the water vapor in the northwest of China does not come from the south, does not pass through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but passes through the Pamirs from the west. So you shouldn’t open your mouth in the south, you should open it in the west, and make a big hole in the Pamirs, which may make the northwest moist.

And opening from the west has many advantages over opening from the south, one of which is opening in our country.

Why? There is an Ili Valley area in the northwest of our country, which is basically the area with the best environment in the northwest. We can see from this picture that it is a trumpet-shaped terrain, which opens to the west, allowing water vapor from the west to come in, and then gradually gathers along this trumpet-shaped mouth to form precipitation here.Because the mountains over there are very high, they not only converge, but also rise, forming a very good ecological environment and climate environment in the Ili Valley.

The average annual precipitation here can reach about 400 ~ 500mm, and even 600mm in some places, and there are 50mm and 100mm precipitation around, which is simply a paradise.

The opening they said is at this intersection. Open the middle place. In fact, let’s zoom in and have a look. Central Asia is very far away from the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and so on, so there are already many deserts in West Asia itself. For example, the west side of the five Central Asian countries is the famous red desert and black desert. These arid areas.

The reason why Central Asia can form a little wet place is that the five Central Asian countries near China are windward slopes of Pamirs, and the terrain of this place rises directly from one or two kilometers above sea level to four or five kilometers, with very steep terrain uplift.

In the process of this uplift, even if the air is unusually dry, it can form some precipitation after such a large altitude change and strong dehydration. Therefore, the capitals of the five Central Asian countries are basically located at the bottom of the windward slope, and the environment is not bad.

If we shovel the whole Pamirs, the windward slope here will disappear. As long as the windward slope disappears, the precipitation in this place will disappear, so it is very likely that the rare wet areas of the five Central Asian countries will all disappear and Central Asia will become a desert.

Even if water vapor enters China, we will find that our place is a basin, with Junggar Basin in the north and Tarim Basin in the south. The elevations of both basins are lower than those around. The average elevation of Tarim Basin is 1,100 meters, while the average elevation of Junggar Basin is only over 600 meters.

You removed the windward slope over there, and after the water vapor came over, you still had to cross a low highland, and then it sank. You destroyed other people’s climate and there was still no precipitation in your place.Because it is still affected by the foehn, it will not change the climate here.

In fact, scientists have done some other numerical simulations. For example, in this picture, if there is no terrain, there is no Qinghai-Tibet high, there is no Pamirs, there are no Tianshan Mountains and Altai Mountains, and there are no mountains. As a result of the simulation, we can see that this white area is an arid area, and this place in northwest Central Asia, including Mongolia, is a very arid area.

Is it getting warm and wet in the northwest?

Since last year, the topic of northwest becoming warm and humid has been brought up again. Some people say that our northwest has become more humid, and this place will soon become like the Tang Dynasty. If we go further, we will catch up with the Zhou Dynasty, and our whole northwest will become a relatively humid place.

We can see that these big media, Xinhua News Agency, Global Times, and especially Global Times, use this headline-"The real event, the cold and arid northwest is getting warmer and wetter". Everyone suddenly had an illusory idea, as if the ecology of northwest China had undergone a fundamental change in recent years. According to this change, that place will get better and better.

Many people think it is a new change, but in fact it is an old topic. In 2002 and 2003, scientists have already discussed this topic. The famous geographer Mr. Shi Yafeng has analyzed some changes that have taken place in the northwest. In some places, precipitation has increased slightly, and the amount of water in lakes has increased in some places. In some places, there will be some seasonal floods and so on.He pointed out the fundamental problem, that is, the climate in northwest China has its own limitations, so it is not appropriate to exaggerate its role.

We also made some analysis on the specific changes.The reason why many people think that the northwest is becoming humid is because they have observed an increase in precipitation in the northwest.. For example, the picture at the top left shows the annual precipitation changes from the 1960s to the present. The dark line curve shows its trend, and we can see that the precipitation has indeed increased in the past so many years.

In the past, the average precipitation was about 100 mm, and it increased to about 120 mm, which is a great increase.

However, we noticed that during this period, the temperature in the northwest increased faster than that in other parts of the world because of the global temperature increase. The picture on the upper right shows that the temperature in the northwest is increasing, and the increasing speed is two to three times faster than that in the eastern part of China.

The increase in temperature has brought about a great change, that is, the potential evaporation is also increasing rapidly.The increase of potential evaporation is greater than that of precipitation. This means that with the increase of precipitation, this place will become even drier.

Let’s look at the change of relative humidity in the picture at the bottom right: from 1980s to 1990s, the relative humidity in that place increased because of the increase of precipitation. However, from the 1990s to the present, because of the increase of temperature and potential evaporation, the relative humidity in that place has gradually decreased and become drier.

This is the drought index we analyzed. Red means getting drier, blue means getting wetter, and the bigger the red dot, the more serious the drought is. We see that among so many observation stations in the northwest, only one station has been slightly wetted, and all other stations have become drier.

Let’s compare the dry and wet changes in other different areas. If this dry and wet index is positive, it means that this place is getting drier and drier. We see that the dry-wet index of Tarim Basin has always maintained a relatively high value, about 1000, which means that the evaporation in this place is more than 1000 mm than the precipitation, and this value is still increasing, and this trend has been going up.

Hetao area is also a dry area, and its value is also positive, and it has been rising and becoming drier. The only place in the source region of the Yellow River seems to have a slight trend of drought relief, but this trend is not particularly obvious.

Let’s compare the changes between drought and humidity in our country. This shaded area indicates that these areas are becoming more arid. From H to SH, it means from humid to semi-humid, from SH to SA means from semi-humid to semi-arid, and from SA to A means from semi-arid to drought.

We see that in the northern part of our country, from the whole northeast to north China, and to the eastern part of the northwest, a large range of local droughts are still developing, and the droughts in these places have become more serious.Therefore, we can’t be optimistic that some areas in the northwest have increased precipitation and improved ecology, so we think that we seem to have entered the next stage, and the northwest seems to be getting wet.

In fact, our country as a whole is experiencing the development of drought, so we should deeply understand what the ecological environment changes in different places are because of. Many places, including northern Shaanxi and Hetao areas, including the Mu Us Desert, have enough precipitation, which is generally close to 400 mm, or more than 400 mm. As long as people don’t destroy it, the ecology in these places will gradually recover. Therefore, our various measures of returning farmland to forests and grasslands will change the ecology of that place.

However, if the precipitation in the northwest is 200 mm, it can’t be restored by returning farmland to forests and grasslands. The precipitation in that place is not enough to support the growth of trees or decent grass. It is a desert.

In other places, the mountains have become wetter, and more trees will be seen on the top of the mountain, or grass will flourish. This is probably because the glaciers on the mountains have melted.The melting of glaciers is due to global warming, which is not a good thing, but a sign of the decline of the whole ecosystem. What you see is that the place turns green, but what is actually hidden is a bigger crisis.

One more thing, the increase of precipitation in some places in northwest China is not like "spring rain moistens like oil", but in the form of heavy rain, two heavy rains suddenly, and then this year’s precipitation ended, so it not only did not alleviate the drought, but brought floods.

Like Dunhuang in July last year, where the annual precipitation was less than 40 mm, two rainstorms closed the Mogao Grottoes for several days, and the impact on this place was not positive.

The whole northwest is so dry, we told you the reasons and the changes in recent years. Some people may feel desperate, and that place seems to have no hope of change.

This is definitely not the case. This place is full of hope.We can change its ecology in various ways.For example, even in such a arid area of Xinjiang, the agricultural irrigation in many places is like the one on the left. The water from the snow-capped mountains is flooded, and a canal brings in the water from one end and comes out from the other, and the land is watered.

However, the way of flood irrigation is very wasteful, and it will be completely sunburned in two days, because the evaporation in that place is very large. There are a lot of water resources from snow-capped mountains in these places, and it would be a great waste if this way is adopted.

We all know that many melons and fruits in the northwest are very good, just because the environment there is enough to produce such an effect. To develop agriculture, if we can improve the whole water-saving irrigation technology, such as the application of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation, and strengthen the investment in this part of agriculture, this place will definitely change a lot.

There are still many people who think that there seems to be no vitality in the desert in the northwest. In fact, if the water resources in that place can be used reasonably, it can also glow with certain vitality in this place.

This photo is the scene in the desert that I took around the observatory mentioned at the beginning. We still found many small plants growing in the desert, and that place is not barren.

This little video shows that butterflies are still flying in the very arid Gobi Desert, so this place hides a lot of vitality and has its own ecosystem.Therefore, for such a very fragile area, our protection is the first, and development is the second.

Go forward regardless of rain or shine —— On the occasion of great strategic achievements in the prevention and control of epidemic situation in China.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 17th Title: March forward rain or shine —— On the occasion of great strategic achievements in the national epidemic prevention and control war.

Xinhua news agency reporter

As mankind enters the year 2020, history has written another thrilling chapter.

China is making every effort to win a well-off society in an all-round way and fight against poverty; The world, which has not changed in a hundred years, has accelerated its evolution. At this time, a sudden novel coronavirus epidemic swept the world.

What does China do? What about the world?

The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core led the 1.4 billion people in China to make a historic choice: unite as one with "life first", confront major epidemics with the strength of the whole country, and overcome the difficulties with "the community of human destiny".

After tenacious struggle and great sacrifice, China has effectively curbed the spread of the virus and made important contributions to the global war "epidemic".

Great plague raid, bold hand, turn the tide in the fall.

"We should put the people’s life safety and physical health first, formulate careful plans, organize all forces to carry out prevention and control, and take practical and effective measures to resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic." -supreme leader

In 2020, I was in Gengzi.

"Seal the city!"

At 10 am on January 23rd, 2020, the last working day before Lunar New Year’s Eve, Wuhan became the center of a battle.

Controlling the flow of people in a city with a population of 10 million is unprecedented in the world. It is also a traditional festival of family reunion, which is even more unusual.

Zhang Jixian, director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Hubei Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (photo taken on March 2). Xinhua News Agency reporter Shen Bohan photo

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally made this strategic decision on January 22, and he stressed: "It takes great political courage to make this decision, but when it is time to make a move, it must be made, otherwise it will be interrupted and chaotic."

On January 20th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, who was in Yunnan for investigation and research, made important instructions on the epidemic situation in COVID-19, saying, "We should put people’s life safety and physical health first, make careful plans, organize all forces to carry out prevention and control, take practical and effective measures, and resolutely curb the spread of the epidemic."

People first! This is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s mission, the ruling creed of Supreme Leader General Secretary Nizi here, and the source of power for the whole country to compete with the epidemic.

"People’s lives are more important than Mount Tai! As long as it is responsible for people’s lives, then what costs and consequences must be borne. " Words from the Supreme Leader General Secretary hit the floor.

Deep winter is the season when the virus is easy to spread. The Spring Festival is the time when Spring Festival travel rush is at full throttle. At this time, an unexpected epidemic raided Wuhan, the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

Time, back to New Year’s Eve.

In Wuhan, Hubei Province, in order to ensure that patients have sufficient oxygen supply, Hubei aid doctor Hu Shijie (first from right) pushes an oxygen bottle and escorts an 81-year-old critically ill patient from COVID-19 for CT examination (photo taken on March 20). Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Yuguo photo

This Spring Festival comes early. On the bank of East Lake in Wuhan, 10,000 lanterns are full of brilliance; In the downtown area, the simmering soup contest is full of fireworks.

However, in this joy and peace, an invisible and intangible "devil" came quietly.

At the end of December 2019, Hubei Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine.

"There is a family of three with the same symptoms. Generally, three people will not get the same disease at the same time, unless it is an infectious disease. " Zhang Jixian, director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine who has experienced SARS treatment, is in a tight heart.

A stream, B stream, syncytial virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, chlamydia, mycoplasma … A series of tests were done, and the results made her more alert.

Not the flu!

Subsequently, four more patients came, with the same fever and cough and the same lung manifestations.

"This is a disease we have never seen before." An alert thought came out and Zhang Jixian quickly reported to the hospital.

On December 30th, Wuhan Municipal Health and Wellness Commission issued the Emergency Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Treatment of Unknown Pneumonia to the medical institutions under its jurisdiction. The next day, the Wuhan Municipal Health and Wellness Commission released the Bulletin on the Current Pneumonia Epidemic Situation in Our City on the official website, and began to release epidemic information according to law.

"Patients with unexplained pneumonia in Wu Hanyou …"

In the early morning of December 31, the National Health and Wellness Committee made arrangements and sent working groups and expert groups to Wuhan to guide the handling of the epidemic and conduct on-site investigations.

On January 2, 2020, China CDC and others received the first batch of 4 case specimens from Hubei Province. Since the 3rd, China has regularly informed WHO, relevant countries and regional organizations and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions of the epidemic situation in a timely and proactive manner.

On January 7th, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) meeting, he put forward clear requirements for the prevention and control of epidemic situation.

With the spread of the epidemic, fever clinics began to get crowded. The CT machine is overloaded, and the diagnosis result given by the doctor is almost the same-the glass-like shadow of the lung.

From early morning till late at night, the medical team lined up in the street.

Soon, the wards are overcrowded, new wards are constantly being opened up, and the protective materials for medical staff are running out. "Requesting support for protective clothing", "Medical masks are in emergency" and "Where are goggles" …

By 24: 00 on January 24, 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country had reported confirmed cases, and the number of confirmed cases exceeded 1,000.

Wuhan is in a hurry! Hubei is in a hurry! China is in a hurry!

The COVID-19 epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest infection range and the most difficult prevention and control since the founding of New China.

At this time, China, a large developing country with a population of 1.4 billion, is entering the final year of decisive battle to build a well-off society in an all-round way and fight poverty. To prevent and control the epidemic situation, we should not only control many aspects of the actual national conditions, but also prevent hard-won construction achievements from being wasted, and also prevent unpredictable risks such as economic shutdown and social disorder.

"This is a crisis and a big test."

On January 25th, the first day of New Year’s Day, Huairentang, Zhongnanhai. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sat with six other CPC members, The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC).

"I wanted to let everyone have a good year. Now that the epidemic situation is urgent, we have to convene everyone to study and deploy this issue together. " The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said with a dignified expression, "I can’t sleep at night on New Year’s Eve."

Without fear or hesitation, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has shouldered the extremely arduous task of fighting the epidemic.

"Life is more important than Mount Tai. The epidemic is an order, and prevention and control is a responsibility. "

"Put people’s life safety and physical health first, and take epidemic prevention and control as the most important task at present."

"As long as we have firm confidence, help each other in the same boat, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy, we will certainly win the epidemic prevention and control war."

It was at this meeting that the CPC Central Committee made a series of major decisions:

Set up a central leading group to deal with the epidemic situation and work under the leadership of The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC);

Send a steering group to Hubei and other areas with serious epidemics to promote the relevant localities to comprehensively strengthen the front-line work of prevention and control;

Hubei Province carries out centralized isolation treatment for all patients, adopts home medical management for all close contacts, and strictly controls the personnel entering and leaving Wuhan;

Go all out to treat infected patients, concentrate patients, experts, resources and treatment …

The epidemic is like fire, and the military orders are like mountains.

The joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council has been put into operation, and all localities have launched the first-level response to major public health emergencies, and all party, government, military and group organs, enterprises and institutions have taken urgent action …

Just after the dinner was served, Wang Wei, deputy director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital, received a phone call: "Meet at the hospital at 8: 30 tonight and leave for Wuhan."

Almost at the same time—

In Xi ‘an, Hu Shijie, deputy director of neurosurgery at Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University, sent a message to his father: "Dad, I was transferred to Wuhan to fight virus."

In Guangzhou, Peng Hong, head nurse of the emergency department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, who participated in the fight against SARS 17 years ago, rushed to the airport.

In Chongqing, Song Caiping, the backbone of nursing in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Military Medical University, embraced her 16-year-old son and left him …

When the country is in danger, the mission is the horn.

At a critical juncture, the initial heart is the direction.

Fight! Fight!

Destination: Wuhan!

Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, a vigorous people’s war, a general war and a blocking war quickly started!

Under the leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, the Communist Party of party member enthusiastically donated money to express its support for the prevention and control of the epidemic situation in COVID-19. A total of 79.559 million party member volunteers donated 8.36 billion yuan.

Unified leadership and unified command, the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s great energy and power are fully demonstrated; All-round deployment and mobilization, and the institutional advantages of socialism to concentrate on doing great things, difficult things and urgent things are fully released.

"Wuhan wins in Hubei, and Hubei wins in the whole country." The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader scientifically laid out the blocking war and concentrated his firepower on "fighting the defending war in Wuhan and Hubei".

Wuhan Tianhe Airport stays around the clock to welcome retrograde personnel and materials.

Less than 8 hours after the "city closure", 4041 epidemic prevention key materials such as epidemic prevention drugs, medical devices, masks and gloves arrived on time in 87 batches.

In less than 24 hours, the medical expert group, the medical rescue team and the PLA officers and men were all ready to go.

Military aircraft, passenger planes, cargo planes … all kinds of aircraft make an emergency landing. At the busiest time, every three minutes, a domestic Yun -20 large transport plane roared.

If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it.

346 medical teams and 42,600 medical personnel from all over the country and the army went out in reverse.

Experts in respiratory and infectious diseases, including many academicians, and 10% of the country’s critically ill medical staff gathered in Wuhan.

19 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities provide counterpart support to 16 cities and prefectures in Hubei except Wuhan.

This is the China advantage of "a national chess game" and the speed of China-

On the night of January 23rd, the designer of Xiaotangshan Hospital in Beijing who fought against SARS received a call for help from Wuhan Urban and Rural Construction Bureau. 1 hour later, the revised and perfect drawings will be delivered to Wuhan Urban and Rural Construction Bureau for standby; In less than 24 hours, the design institutes of the two places joined hands to form a complete drawing.

On New Year’s Eve, Vulcan Mountain Hospital broke ground. Three days later, the Thunder God Mountain hospital project was launched.

The two suburbs of the city are like day all night. More than 40,000 builders from all over the country live and eat on beaches and slopes. Hundreds of millions of netizens have become "cloud supervisors."

There is no buffer time, so we can only dig trenches and fight the sniper. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least several months to complete the two infectious disease hospitals, and it only took more than ten days to start the life ferry.

There must be a key move in the critical period!

The epidemic was deadlocked, the CPC Central Committee made a decisive decision, and Hubei and Wuhan changed their positions.

The base is unclear, and the spread can’t stop. The Central Steering Group deployed "all receivables".

"A large-space, multi-bed’ shelter hospital’ must be activated." Wang Chen, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and an expert in respiratory and critical care medicine, was worried.

Sixteen gymnasiums, convention and exhibition centers and other emergency shelter hospitals were rebuilt, dozens of hospitals were quickly rebuilt, and more than 500 hotels and schools were urgently requisitioned as isolation points … Wuhan gradually realized "waiting for beds" at the rate of adding 3,000 beds every day!

In late January, the analysis and evaluation of critically ill cases found that ECMO (artificial membrane Lung) can win valuable time for the rescue of critically ill patients.

"At all costs, let patients use the best equipment." The request of the Supreme Leader General Secretary turned into an action that stayed up all night.

On the one hand, urgently issue procurement plans to global manufacturers; On the one hand, from the existing 400 machines in hospitals all over the country.

In less than a month, there were more than 100 centralized machines in Hubei Province, of which about 80 were in Wuhan.

This is a total war. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly emphasized: "Fighting the epidemic prevention and control war is actually a logistics support war."

As of April 19, financial departments at all levels have arranged a total of 145.2 billion yuan for epidemic prevention and control, and the funds for epidemic prevention and control in various places have been effectively guaranteed.

"I have meltblown cloth, who has a mask machine?" "We will build what Hubei needs." During the Spring Festival, more than 3,000 enterprises resumed production and cross-border production.

Once the engine of the "World Factory" was started, the output of masks quickly increased from 8 million to over 100 million per day.

Front-line soldiers should ensure safety, and people in epidemic areas should protect people’s livelihood.

"Wuhan people like to eat live fish, and they should organize more supply if conditions permit." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made a special exhortation during his inspection tour in Wuhan, and put care for the people into practice.

This is a Chinese power that is United from top to bottom-

At 2: 45 pm on February 10th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Anhuali Community in Chaoyang District, Beijing. Wearing a mask, rolling up his sleeves and taking his temperature, in the community neighborhood Committee, he personally called on the whole people to fight the "epidemic."

"The epidemic prevention and control work in COVID-19 is a people’s war. We must trust the masses, mobilize the masses, and give full play to the’ blocking role’ of the community in the epidemic prevention and control work." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said.

In Wuhan, more than 3,300 communities and villages are under closed management, and 12,000 grid workers are responsible for epidemic statistics, purchasing and handling.

The greatest strength is concerted efforts, and the strongest defense line is the "people’s war."

From the banks of the Yangtze River to Baishan Blackwater, from the Central Plains to the coast of the East China Sea, under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee, mass prevention and mass control have created unity.

"China’s mobilization is unprecedented in the history of global public health." Robert kuhn, an American expert on China, said. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus lamented: "I have never seen such mobilization in my life."

According to the time and the situation, we will make precise policies and make overall plans to promote epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.

"After the COVID-19 epidemic, how to integrate forces and fight the epidemic in a short period of time is a great challenge; After the epidemic situation slows down, how to coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and resume work is also a great challenge. " -supreme leader

"China has taken effective measures to avoid the infection of hundreds of thousands of people."

On the evening of February 24th, after a 9-day visit to China, Bruce Aylward, the foreign leader of the China-WHO joint expert inspection team in COVID-19 and senior adviser to the Director-General of WHO, commented on this.

Earlier in the day, the two sessions of the National People’s Congress scheduled for March 3 and March 5 were postponed. This rare move reflects the extraordinary challenges in an extraordinary period.

In Wuhan and Hubei, there are still nearly 10,000 critically ill patients. "Life first" is the solemn commitment of the party and the government, and it is also a great test of the rescue work.

"Intensive and critical cases should be treated with all efforts", "patients, especially families with loved ones, should be given priority care", and the entrustment of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, medical staff and community workers should never forget.

The case base is large, there is no specific medicine, and the condition changes rapidly … The Supreme Leader’s General Secretary regards the rescue work as the key to turn the war around, and has made many field visits, investigations and guidance.

The general secretary walked into beijing ditan hospital to learn about the hospitalization of COVID-19 infected people; Video connection to the critically ill patients admitted to the hospital in Wuhan, expressing condolences and requests to the medical staff; I made a special trip to Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital to cheer for the patients and encourage the medical staff.

In the end, more "hard core" means are needed to overcome the disease.

At the beginning of the "epidemic" war, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward requirements for "strengthening the combination of research and development of drugs and medical equipment with clinical treatment". In view of the situation that the epidemic situation is easy to be repeated and unpredictable, the general secretary further pointed out that it is necessary to promote the organic connection between vaccine research and development and industrialization chain, and make comprehensive preparations for possible normalization prevention and control work.

Determine the pathogen within 8 days; The optimization of the detection kit was completed within 16 days, and the nucleic acid detection ability was improved from 300 to 20,000 per day; The national version of the diagnosis and treatment plan "iteration" seventh edition; Five kinds of Covid-19 vaccines were approved for clinical trials … The researchers set up special classes, and fought against the wall chart, racing against time and never sleeping.

From screening more than 10,000 kinds of drugs to determining an effective diagnosis and treatment plan, from summarizing the "three drugs and three parties" to adopting treatment methods such as convalescent plasma, the Party Central Committee pays attention to and supports every scientific research deployment; Every major breakthrough, the general secretary asked in detail.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made a special trip to the Military Medical Research Institute and Tsinghua University Medical College to inspect the scientific research work of prevention and control in COVID-19. He stressed: "At present, it still needs hard work to win the epidemic prevention and control people’s war, overall war and blocking war. The more we face this situation, the more we must insist on asking for answers and methods from science. "

Science is the fundamental solution to the "epidemic" in the national war; Overall planning is the winning way of crisis management.

When the mobile China presses the "pause button", a series of practical problems and potential influences come on:

In order to reduce the flow of people and stop the spread of the virus, it is a reasonable and necessary decision to extend the Spring Festival holiday. However, every day after the holiday, the national GDP will lose 150 billion yuan.

The longer the epidemic is stopped, the more difficult it is for the economy and society to restart and recover …

The epidemic should be controlled to death and the economy should be revitalized. At both ends of the scale, the weight is like a mountain.

On February 3, when the epidemic prevention and control was the most strenuous, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) meeting, stressing: "Areas with particularly serious epidemic situations should concentrate on the epidemic prevention and control work, while other areas should do a good job in the prevention and control work, and make overall plans to do a good job in all aspects of reform, development and stability, especially the key tasks involved in building a well-off society in an all-round way and tackling poverty in a decisive battle."

In 2020, it is the final year of decisive battle to get rid of poverty. There is no way out to fulfill the promise of the party and the government to the people!

On February 23rd, a special teleconference was held in the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People.

Facing the 170,000 cadres at or above the county level, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said frankly: "After the COVID-19 epidemic, it is a great challenge to integrate forces and fight against the epidemic in a short period of time; After the epidemic situation slows down, how to coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and resume work is also a great challenge. "

Epidemic prevention and control is related to life, and returning to work and production is related to livelihood.

From the implementation of accurate resumption of work and production at different levels to the introduction of phased and targeted tax reduction and fee reduction policies, from ensuring that "employees can get back, raw materials can be supplied, and products can be exported" to ensuring that agricultural production does not miss the farming season, from keeping the "rice bag" and "vegetable basket" to unblocking the foreign trade industrial chain and supply chain … Many township cadres said that even doing a good job in this year’s spring ploughing production, the Supreme Leader General Secretary is concerned and has made important decisions.

The spring breeze is warm and the earth is green.

In the satellite remote sensing picture, China in spring is lighting up-

Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, which account for more than 40% of China’s total economic output, are three major urban agglomerations. Hundreds of thousands of shops resume business every day and thousands of manufacturing enterprises return to work under the lights of Canruo Xinghe.

In the satellite positioning and navigation system, China in spring is running-

From the coastal areas to the inland areas, the movement lines formed by the running tracks of freight vehicles are multiplying. One flow curve contains infinite vitality for people to move smoothly and goods to flow smoothly.

At 13: 24 on March 19, the G4368 train slowly left Jingzhou Station. A trip to the "train for spring" was full of caring feelings of "holding hands and pulling hands", and 40,000 Hubei migrant workers were arranged to return to work in Guangdong.

Employment has introduced "caring" clauses, approval has achieved "remote connection", more accurate and effective regulatory policies have given the market "reassurance", tax relief has injected "cardiotonic agent" into enterprises … Central departments have intensively introduced new measures, injecting more "warm colors" into China’s economy.

Resume classes in batches, customize the return train, unify the "health code" and travel with confidence, and make time-sharing appointments for recovery tourism … All parts of the country actively respond to new changes and let China society return to "normal state" as soon as possible.

Factory workshop, busy production; In the countryside and fields, spring ploughing is busy.

On March 3rd, the People’s Government of Guizhou Province announced that Zheng ‘an, a county with deep poverty, had taken off its hat. This marks Zunyi’s overall poverty alleviation, and 8.12 million people in the old areas bid farewell to the history of poverty.

Three days later, the largest poverty alleviation meeting since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in the form of video conference. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader issued an order:

"Resolutely overcome the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, resolutely win a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty, and resolutely complete this great cause that is of great significance to the Chinese nation and mankind."

The spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River moistens things silently. In Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the front-line workers who resumed work and production, telling everyone to "ensure both production tasks and good health".

Facing the expectation of the person in charge of small and medium-sized enterprises, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said: "We have introduced a set of policy combination boxing, which will be adjusted in time and more targeted measures will be introduced as the situation changes."

On April 22, in the evening, the lights were on. Xi ‘an Datang City Pedestrian Street, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader who is visiting Xi ‘an, came here to learn about the recovery of the "night economy" on the spot.

The general secretary stressed that under the premise of scientific prevention and control of the epidemic, all kinds of shopping malls and markets should be promoted in an orderly manner and efforts should be made to restore normal life order.

On the eve of the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader opened the sixth local inspection tour since the COVID-19 epidemic, encouraging Shanxi to strive to overcome the adverse impact of the epidemic and make greater strides in high-quality transformation and development.

It is a kind of ability and a kind of determination to put it back and forth freely and advance and retreat.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed: "We must strengthen our confidence and not be intimidated by problems and difficulties." "China is a big country with strong resilience, great potential and great room for manoeuvre."

Some foreign netizens feel that in the face of an unprecedented epidemic, with a population of 1.4 billion, water, electricity, heating, communication, supplies and social order, China has done it!

"Danger and opportunity always coexist, and overcoming danger is opportunity." Facing the market turmoil caused by the development of overseas epidemic and the serious impact on international economic and trade activities, the Supreme Leader General Secretary firmly declared China’s determination to maintain the openness, stability and security of the global industrial chain supply chain, and actively encouraged domestic enterprises to seize the opportunity of scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading.

Strong and orderly because of the time and the situation. Thousands of troops, if the command is determined.

The resumption of major investment projects has been accelerated, and the scale of migrant workers has been restored to about 90% of previous years. The "cloud service" and "cloud economy" have blossomed brilliantly … China’s economy and society have accurately recognized changes, responded scientifically, and actively sought changes, and difficulties have been quickly overcome, giving birth to new hopes in the vast land.

At 0: 00 on April 8, after 76 days of "closing the city", the heroic Wuhan was officially restarted.

On this landmark day, Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee held a meeting, and the Supreme Leader General Secretary emphasized that it is necessary to accelerate the comprehensive recovery of production and living order in the prevention and control of normalized epidemic situation, solve the difficulties and problems faced by the resumption of work and production, strive to minimize the losses caused by the epidemic situation, and ensure the realization of the goals and tasks of building a well-off society in an all-round way and fighting poverty.

On April 17th, China released the economic data for the first quarter of 2020. Affected by the epidemic, the GDP in the first quarter decreased by 6.8% year-on-year. Since March, the main economic indicators have improved month by month, and the industrial added value and export growth rate turned from negative to positive in April. The epidemic has given birth to the rapid growth of new industries and formats, and China’s economy has shown great resilience.

On the same day, the Supreme Leader General Secretary presided over the Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party. The meeting pointed out that the current economic development is facing unprecedented challenges, and it is necessary to fully estimate the difficulties, risks and uncertainties, earnestly enhance the sense of urgency, and grasp the work of economic and social development.

On April 29, the news that the two national conferences will be held came. The convening of this world-renowned grand meeting under the special background of normalization of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19 fully shows that the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core is steadily steering the great ship China to break the waves.

Work together to fight the epidemic, share the same fate, and show China’s responsibility

"Human beings are a community of destiny. Unity and cooperation are the most powerful weapons to overcome epidemics that affect the safety of people in all countries. " -supreme leader

"Our war against the epidemic has ushered in the dawn of victory, but the situation overseas is deteriorating sharply." On the evening of March 12th, Wang Guo, a university teacher in Wuhan, kept a diary, adding another layer of worries-how are the students and friends from Thailand and Singapore who donated masks to the school?

With this in mind, he wrote with deep feelings: "Before the epidemic, there is no difference between’ us’ and’ them’, and people in every country are’ us’."

The whole world is as cool and hot as this. On the night when Wang Guo read and wrote these words, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader made an overseas call with UN Secretary-General Guterres:

"The occurrence of the COVID-19 epidemic once again shows that human beings are a community of shared destiny." "The international community must establish a sense of community of human destiny, look after each other and help each other, work together to meet risk challenges and build a beautiful home on earth."

The fortunes of mankind depend on each other. As early as the beginning of the outbreak, China put itself into the world frame of reference and shouldered the responsibility of a big country.

On January 12th, the World Health Organization announced that it had received the virus gene sequence information shared by China, which was published in the global influenza sharing database and shared by all countries.

"The epidemic is the devil, and we can’t let the devil hide." The words of the Supreme Leader’s Chairman are sonorous, conveying a frank attitude towards China and showing the fearless responsibility of China.

WHO Director-General Tan Desai said that China identified pathogens in a record short time and took the initiative to share the virus gene sequence with the international community in time.

China’s fight against the epidemic is also a fight for the world.

The Chairman of the Supreme Leader repeatedly said: "China upholds the concept of a community of human destiny, and is responsible for the safety and health of its own people, as well as the global public health cause."

After the outbreak, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader met with foreign leaders and heads of international organizations for four times, and made 51 calls. He sent messages of condolences to leaders of more than 10 countries and heads of regional organizations such as the European Union, and also exchanged letters with the Argentine President, replying to Bill Gates and Utah primary school students in the United States, introducing the key measures taken by the people of China to prevent and control the epidemic, thanking the international community for its support and help to China, expressing China’s positive will to provide assistance to all countries within its capacity, and joining hands with the international community.

Those who love others will always love them. At the most critical moment of the war in China, the international community expressed its warmth and goodwill and stood with the people of China.

More than 70 countries and international organizations have provided materials and other assistance to the people of China in their fight against the epidemic. Leaders of more than 170 countries, heads of more than 50 international and regional organizations and more than 300 foreign political parties and organizations expressed their condolences and support to China.

"A friend in need is a friend indeed!" Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Mongolian President Battulga and Pakistani President Alwi visited China successively. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader thanked them for their sincere and firm support.

The people of China will always remember that Russia, Belarus and other countries sent special planes to deliver urgently needed medical supplies to Wuhan at the first time; British and German chartered planes flying to Wuhan were loaded with medical supplies. Equatorial Guinea, an underdeveloped country that has been receiving aid for a long time, donated $2 million to China; Mongolia donated 30,000 sheep to China; Pakistan sent almost all its masks …

The people of China will never forget that the Chinese national anthem sounded in the Japanese Songshan Ballet, and millions of Sri Lankan people chanted prayers for the people of China. The beautiful poem "Mountains and rivers are exotic, and the moon is the same" crossed the ocean with love donations …

As Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary-General of the United Nations and chairman of Boao Forum for Asia, said, history bears in mind not only Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional advantages, but also the joint responsibility of all countries in coping with the crisis.

COVID-19 epidemic is the common enemy of mankind. It took 67 days from reporting the first case to reporting the first 100,000 cases; It takes 11 days to report the second 100,000 cases; It took only four days to report the third 100,000 cases … Up to now, there have been more than 4.4 million confirmed cases worldwide!

China feels the same way when countries are hit hard by the epidemic.

Letters of condolence from the Chairman of the Supreme Leader were sent to the heads of state and government of Italy, Iran, South Korea, Spain, Serbia, Germany, France and other countries, as well as the heads of the European Council and the European Commission.

The valuable experience gained by the people of China in fighting the epidemic has been transmitted to five continents without reservation through a series of press conferences of the joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council, press conferences of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and video communication meetings of medical experts.

At 21: 00 local time on March 21st, Belgrade International Airport, Serbia. China’s anti-epidemic medical expert group assisting Serbia arrived by special plane, and at the same time, it brought the anti-epidemic materials urgently raised by the China government.

Standing by the gangway, Serbian President Vucic warmly welcomed the experts from China in a special way of touching elbows one by one, and gave a deep kiss on the five-star red flag to express his deep gratitude.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the phone with the Chairman of the Supreme Leader that China has set a good example for the international community by extending a helping hand to countries affected by the epidemic in time.

-Share epidemic prevention and treatment plans with 180 countries and more than 10 international and regional organizations around the world, and hold video exchange meetings on epidemic prevention and control with more than 160 countries and international organizations;

-More than 20 medical expert groups have been sent to provide much-needed anti-epidemic material assistance to more than 150 countries and international organizations;

-Donate US$ 50 million to WHO and make every effort to facilitate other countries to purchase medical protection materials in China.

Do your best and give generously.

Hassan Ahmadian, assistant professor of Middle East and North Africa Institute of Teheran University, said that China’s aid not only embodies the humanitarian spirit, but also is a responsible act of a big country.

The epidemic is both a big war and a big test. This is true for China and the world as well.

The Chairman of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "The epidemic has spread in a wide range, at a high speed, and has had a great impact for a hundred years."

In view of the new situation and new problems of the increase of confirmed cases imported from abroad and the increase of asymptomatic infected persons, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, on the one hand, deployed to strengthen the care for overseas China citizens, on the other hand, timely switched the focus of epidemic prevention and control work to "import from outside and rebound from inside".

From strict customs quarantine enforcement to precise flight risk prevention and control, from implementing closed-loop management of entry personnel to intensifying screening of asymptomatic infected persons, from taking back China citizens from countries with severe epidemic to deploying "health packages" to countries with concentrated overseas students in China … A series of measures have effectively consolidated the hard-won achievements of the war "epidemic" and continued to defend the eastern defense line for the world war "epidemic".

In the face of a rare epidemic in a hundred years, where should mankind go? What kind of mission do countries shoulder?

On the evening of March 26th, the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People.

Images of leaders of various countries and heads of international organizations were uploaded on the huge TV wall. The leaders of the G20 held a special summit on COVID-19 by video conference for the first time in Riyadh, Moscow, Washington, Berlin and Brasilia.

"Resolutely fight a global war to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic", "effectively carry out international joint prevention and control", "actively support international organizations to play their role" and "strengthen international macroeconomic policy coordination"-Based on the practice in China, Chairman Supreme Leader put forward a four-point China initiative on comprehensively strengthening international cooperation and rallying strong joint efforts to overcome the epidemic.

"The public health crisis is a common challenge faced by mankind, and unity and cooperation are the most powerful weapons" … China’s voice won wider recognition and resonance in the face of the big exam of all mankind.

For the people, relying on the people, the Chinese nation has written an indelible heroic epic with great power.

"The Chinese nation has experienced many hardships in its history, but it has never been crushed. Instead, it has become more and more frustrated, constantly growing in hardships and rising from hardships." -supreme leader

"When the sea flows, you will show your true colors as a hero." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader quoted this sentence more than once when inspecting the epidemic prevention and control work in COVID-19.

"You really saved lives and loved the world." On March 10th, in the command center of Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader connected with the representatives of medical staff working in the ward by video. "You are messengers of light, messengers of hope, the most beautiful angels and real heroes! The party and the people thank you! "

The war "epidemic" was extremely tragic, and they defended their lives with their lives:

Liu Zhiming, the president of Wuchang Hospital, stayed in the intensive care unit until he was admitted to the intensive care unit. What he never forgot was how much patients received and whether the prevention and control of infection reached the standard. In order not to infect others, he told his colleagues "Don’t intubate me" …

Yin and Yang are separated forever, and the wife who is also treating the patient hears the news and can only chase the car of the funeral home and cry the name of her beloved over and over again …

Immediately after the outbreak, Wu Yaling, a member of the Hubei medical team who participated in Wenchuan earthquake relief and aided Africa in fighting Ebola virus, did not hesitate to submit an invitation letter and went to Vulcan Mountain Hospital.

Mother died suddenly. When the bad news came, she just wept silently, bowed deeply in the direction of home, and then returned to the patient.

There are too many tears to dry; There are too many brave, engraved on the hidden face.

84-year-old Zhong Nanshan crowded into the high-speed dining car and rushed to Wuhan.

This is an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency reporter by Zhong Nanshan in Guangzhou (photo taken on January 28th). Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Dawei photo

The 73-year-old Li Lanjuan only sleeps for 3 hours every day. "I will not retreat if the epidemic does not retreat."

The 72-year-old Zhang Boli went to work on the third day after cholecystectomy. He only said: "My liver and gallbladder are in harmony, and I left my gallbladder here."

"I am deeply moved by the noble spirit of the vast number of medical staff who are selfless and forget their lives." The words of the Supreme Leader General Secretary are from the heart.

On April 4th, people observed a moment of silence in the mourning activities at the Yiyuan Square in Jiangtan, Hankou, Wuhan. On the same day, a mourning event was held in Wuhan to express deep condolences to the martyrs and deceased compatriots who died in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xiao Yijiu photo

Those handprints pressed on the invitation letter on New Year’s Eve, the scars branded on the cheeks by masks, the sweat-soaked backs under protective clothing, and the secretly written and quietly hidden suicide notes … all remain in the memory of the motherland and the people.

"You are all wearing protective clothing and masks. I can’t see your true faces. However, you are all the cutest people in my mind! " The words of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary inspired the soldiers in white.

Courage and sacrifice are hard to count in this war; Ordinary and great, incisively and vividly in this big exam.

On March 10th, the Party and Mass Service Center of Donghu New Town Community in Wuhan pulled up a folding chair, and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sat down and had a face-to-face cordial conversation with community workers, grassroots police, doctors in health service stations, sinking cadres and volunteers.

The general secretary said: "Everyone worked tirelessly and silently day and night to serve the masses, and made important contributions to curbing the spread of the epidemic and ensuring people’s lives, showing the spirit of Wuhan party member and cadres who are not afraid of sacrifice, have the courage to take responsibility, take care of the overall situation and are willing to contribute."

"If we don’t sleep, the city won’t lose."

On the day and night of Wuhan’s "city closure", there are party member and cadres charging in front, police officers on duty day and night, community grid workers on call, sanitation workers cleaning at designated points, and volunteers’ love relay … These unknown people are guarding the lights and propping up the lifeline of a city.

March 10th, East Lake New Town Community, Wuhan. Residents who have been quarantined at home for 48 days saw the arrival of the General Secretary and leaned out from balconies and windows to pay their respects. Some waved national flags and shouted, "Come on, China! Come on, Wuhan! "

"Let’s cheer together and stick to it!" This scene has been viewed hundreds of millions of times, and the voice of the general secretary echoes with the voice of the people. "The party and the people thank the people of Wuhan."

The people, in the heart of the supreme leader general secretary, are heavy. Thanks to the people again and again, it shows the childlike feelings of "people first", and it is also the magic weapon to win the national war against "epidemic".

Drosten, a German virologist, said that we really need to learn from China and thank the China government and the people of China who are dedicated and collectivist.

Zhang Dingyu, president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, shed tears at the moment when the news of lifting the "closed city" in Wuhan came.

When the disaster came, he didn’t take care of his worsening frostbite, and he didn’t have time to look after his wife who was diagnosed with COVID-19.

When the storm receded, what he remembered most were the lives that had fought tenaciously against the disease, the volunteers who shuttled patients and samples, the patients who came to donate blood after recovery, and the "isolated virus does not isolate love" that kept flashing on the mobile phone …

Today, the praise of the Supreme Leader General Secretary comforts the scars of life and warms the land of Jingchu: "The people of Wuhan have demonstrated the strength of China and the spirit of China with their own practical actions, highlighting the feelings of the Chinese nation in the same boat and helping each other."

The disaster will eventually pass, and the feelings will remain in my heart.

Reporters who went deep into the "red zone" could not forget it, and doctors who fought all night cried and said, "I’m sorry, I tried my best"; The patients in Fangcang Hospital can’t forget it. Some people even lost their loved ones, and they still shed tears to cheer for everyone. Hundreds of millions of netizens can’t forget that critically ill patients used up their last strength and wrote "My body donated to the country" …

The party and the country can’t forget that 1.4 billion people, regardless of age or occupation, chose to defend their country and give up their homes for the country, and turned "impossible" into "sure" with the overwhelming power.

In the anti-epidemic group portrait published by Time magazine in the United States, the hands of Beijing takeaway rider Gao Zhixiao are particularly eye-catching. This 32-year-old young man rides more than 100 kilometers every day, and delivers 60 or 70 bills at most. One hand sends out not only the urgent needs of many families, but also the hope of a country carrying heavy burdens.

"The people are the real heroes." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader praised with deep affection. The people are the source of strength for this country to continue to write miracles and move towards victory.

As the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said: "The Chinese nation has experienced many hardships in its history, but it has never been crushed. Instead, it has become more and more frustrated, constantly growing and rising from hardships."

Growing up in tribulation and rising from tribulation-this spirit is contained in the hardships of fighting foreign aggression for independence and liberation, honed in the struggle of socialist construction and unremitting exploration of reform and opening up, and also shines in the tempering of fighting SARS, earthquake relief and fighting COVID-19 epidemic.

The words "Wuhan restarts, not to bear the spring" light up on time, and the light show "Hero City, Hero People" lights up the night sky of three towns in Wuhan.

At the same time, at the intersection of Wuhan West Expressway, with the first passenger car leaving, railways, civil aviation, water transport and highways resumed operation.

The bells of Jianghan Pass spread to all directions. In front of the square, between buildings, in the live video, and in the circle of WeChat friends, "Wuhan will win!" Long live the motherland!’ Welcome a brand-new day with this city.

In a corner of the city, a clear cry rises in the delivery room of Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital, which is the 5108th new life born in this hospital since the city was closed.

"People are in the city, and they are endless!"

It took more than one month to initially curb the spread of the epidemic, about two months to control the daily new cases in the local area within single digits, and about three months to achieve decisive results in the defense of Wuhan and Hubei. For a big country with a population of 1.4 billion, such achievements are hard to come by!

The majestic Yellow Crane Tower witnessed the unyielding struggle of a city; The surging waters of the Yangtze River are surging with the surging blood of a nation.

Never forget your initial intention, never forget your mission, and achieve historical progress in the history exam.

"This epidemic is a big test of China’s governance system and ability. We must sum up experience and learn lessons." -supreme leader

The memory of Tomb-Sweeping Day in the year of Gengzi is unforgettable.

At 10 o’clock on April 4, 2020. In front of Huairentang, Zhongnanhai, the supreme leader and other party and state leaders stood in silence wearing white flowers and looking dignified. Together with the 1.4 billion people of China, they deeply mourned the martyrs and compatriots who died in the COVID-19 epidemic.

In 3 minutes and 180 seconds, the alarm rang through the north and south of the great river, inside and outside the Great Wall, and the country sent off the sacrificed heroes with the highest memorial ceremony and mourned the compatriots who died of illness.

The COVID-19 epidemic has infected more than 80,000 people and killed more than 4,600 people.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "This epidemic is a big test of China’s governance system and ability. We must sum up experience and learn lessons."

Facing the big exam, the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s political nature is moving.

On March 2nd, a special swearing-in ceremony was held in Guangzhou and Wuhan.

Through the video, Academician Zhong Nanshan, who has been a party member for 55 years, said to Li Yingxian, a frontline nurse who joined the party in FireWire: "Now is the time when Communist party member needs to stand up. I have seen greatness in your ordinary work."

Rush up at the critical moment and get out at the critical moment. In the face of this big test of life and death, a total of 440 thousand people across the country submitted applications for joining the party.

On the front line of anti-epidemic, a total of 244 thousand temporary party organizations have been established; 396 party member and cadres were killed (sacrificed) in the line of duty.

The clank oath of "ready to sacrifice everything for the party and people" resounded through China, and bright red party flag fluttered high in the front line of fighting the epidemic.

Facing the big exam, Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional advantages are more prominent.

At the command, thousands of miles rushed to help; Unified scheduling and coordinated promotion; As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The fundamental reason why China’s epidemic prevention and control and resumption of work and production can be vigorously promoted is that the leadership of the party and the advantages of China’s socialist system have played an unparalleled and important role."

In the face of the big exam, the majestic power of concentric up and down is unstoppable.

In the reply to the students of Tibet University Medical College who were internship in Shougang Hospital, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader encouraged them to follow the example of angels in white in the "epidemic" and strive to be good doctors trusted by the party and the people. With a strong heart, when replying to all the post-90s party member of Peking University Aid Hubei Medical Team, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader encouraged the vast number of young people not to be afraid of the wind and rain, to shoulder heavy burdens bravely, and to let youth bloom in the places where the party and the people need it most; Always miss, in the reply to all community workers in Donghu New Town Community of Wuhan, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has high hopes, hoping that they will make new contributions to completely winning the people’s war, overall war and blocking war against the epidemic.

On the eve of May 1st International Labor Day, I wrote back to encourage the working people. On the occasion of May 4th Youth Day, I sent a message to the young people in the new era. On the occasion of the International Nurses’ Day, I extended my holiday congratulations and sincere condolences to the nurses all over the country … The cordial concern of the Supreme Leader General Secretary inspired people and inspired their fighting spirit.

There is a little light, a little light, and a force. The 1.4 billion people, with the great love of their home country and the national justice of "striving for one place", have opened a safe mode for the whole people to fight the epidemic.

The big exam is like a mirror, which shows advantages and exposes shortcomings.

In January 2018, at the opening ceremony of the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader listed 16 specific risks in eight aspects, and explicitly mentioned: "Major infectious diseases like SARS should always be vigilant and strictly guarded."

In January, 2019, at the seminar where leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels insisted on the bottom line thinking and focused on preventing and resolving major risks, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that in the face of the turbulent international situation, complex and sensitive surrounding environment and arduous and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, we must always be highly vigilant, not only against the "black swan" incident, but also against the "grey rhinoceros" incident.

The sober judgment of the CPC Central Committee is by no means alarmist. At the key node of building a well-off society in an all-round way and fighting poverty, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 has sounded the alarm.

Hospital bed reserves are insufficient, primary medical care is obviously weak, the distribution of donated materials is not smooth, and the prevention and control notices are inconsistent … In the voice of doubt, China’s shortcomings in major epidemic prevention and control system and public health emergency management system need to be filled.

Some are afraid to take responsibility, unwilling to take responsibility, some are confused and have no ideas in their work, and some are still engaged in formalism and bureaucracy … In the fight against the epidemic, the problem that a few cadres are difficult to stand the test and lack of working ability is very prominent.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "After every disaster, we should become smarter."

Summing up experience and lessons in the war "epidemic" and focusing on long-term stability is the proper meaning of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out from a strategic and overall perspective that in view of the shortcomings and deficiencies exposed by this epidemic, we should pay close attention to filling shortcomings, plugging loopholes, strong and weak items, persisting in this, perfecting this perfection, establishing this establishment, implementing this implementation, perfecting the system and mechanism of major epidemic prevention and control, and improving the national public health emergency management system.

"The construction of dikes and seawalls and the construction of earthquake-resistant houses should prepare for the once-in-a-century disaster. The investment in public health is also rather prepared than used, not available and not prepared. "

Insist on planning ahead and thinking at the bottom line, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to strengthen strategic planning and forward-looking layout, adhere to the combination of peacetime and wartime, improve the system and mechanism of major epidemic prevention and control, improve the public health emergency management system, push the work force to sink to the front line, optimize the production capacity layout and guarantee of important emergency materials, and ensure that major risks in the public health field are discovered, warned early and handled well.

Be prepared, for the country. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader further pointed out that we should always be cautious in treading on thin ice and keen to see Ye Zhiqiu. We should not only be highly vigilant and guard against major risks in our own areas, but also pay close attention to major risks in the overall situation.

Focus on the fundamentals and plan for the long term. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Man and nature should live in harmony, and once human activities exceed the natural carrying capacity, they will be retaliated." Practicing the concept of green development is not only related to the sustainable development of economy and society, but also to the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Those who observe the situation are wise, and those who follow the trend are wise. In the face of this major global crisis and the common war of all mankind, the voice of the Supreme Leader General Secretary is firm and powerful: "Only with the joint efforts of all mankind can we win the war."

Strive for Corning in the world and China!

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader’s earnest warning is still in my ears:

"Today’s world is experiencing a great change that has never happened in a century. China is in a critical period to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Our party is leading the people in a great struggle with many new historical characteristics. The situation and environment are changing rapidly, the tasks of reform, development and stability are heavy, contradictions and risks are challenging, and the test of our party’s governance is unprecedented."

"The more severe and complicated the development environment, the more we must unswervingly deepen reform, improve all aspects of the system, improve the governance system, promote the better transformation and integration of system construction and governance efficiency, and be good at using institutional advantages to cope with the impact of risk challenges."

At the meeting held in The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) on May 14th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the current situation of epidemic prevention and control in China is generally good, while the situation of epidemic abroad is severe and complicated, and the task of preventing epidemic rebound in China is still arduous. We must resolutely overcome paralysis, war-weariness, luck, and relaxation, and continue to pay close attention to the work of external defense input and internal defense rebound. We must never let the hard-won achievements in epidemic prevention and control be wasted, ensure the completion of the decisive battle to get rid of poverty, and build a well-off society in an all-round way.

Summing up the experience and lessons from the great war and drawing wisdom from the big exam, the Chinese nation will certainly be able to turn danger into opportunity and move forward rain or shine!

(Vigorous China Research Bank) Fujian Zhangzhou Social Bank Cooperation Mode Weaves "Social Security Convenience Network"

  Zhongxin. com, Zhangzhou, August 22 (Wu Guanbiao, Zhou Xin) On the 21st, the reporter walked into the Social Security Service Experience Hall in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, following the theme interview activity of "Vibrant China Research Bank" in 2025, and learned about the local practice of promoting the transformation of social security services with the "15-minute convenience service area" as the core, and through innovative services such as cooperation between social banks and social security planners.

  In the "Social Security Planning Service Area" of the Experience Hall, citizen Liu Xiaomei is discussing with social security planner Li Xinyan whether to postpone retirement to get a higher pension. "Seeing the retirement age, how to plan to make the future pension more impressive is related to our vital interests. The planner spoke in detail and the service was particularly intimate. " Liu Xiaomei said.

  Such "one-on-one" planning services have been carried out in Zhangzhou for nearly 2,500 times. According to reports, the experience hall also has functional areas such as social security business handling area, social security self-service area and elderly service area, which can unlock the whole social security scene in one stop. Since its opening in September 2024, the Experience Hall has received more than 2,000 people and handled social security business more than 800 times.

  According to the cooperation standard of social security service in Fujian Province, Zhangzhou Social Security Center and cooperative banks jointly set up "nearby" service outlets, sinking 37 high-frequency social security services such as insurance registration, treatment inquiry and qualification certification to the social security service area of the bank, so that people can do things at home.

  "This year, Zhangzhou also innovatively launched the’ social bank service through train’, which’ moved’ social security services from the window to the car and drove into communities, enterprises and villages, so that policy propaganda and business handling could achieve’ zero distance’." Zhang Xiaobin, deputy director of the People’s Social Security Bureau of Zhangzhou City, said that especially in the rural "market day", the through train will enter the market and deliver the service to the villagers.

  "The network layout of the’ 15-minute convenience service circle’ can provide people with more efficient and convenient services for social security institutions; For banks, it can also provide better financial extension services to further stimulate and stimulate consumer demand. " Lin Benxi, an expert in social security research and a professor at the School of Economics of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, said. (End)
