Promoting the Community Construction of Ideological and Political Courses in Colleges, Middle Schools and Primary Schools by "Integration"

The construction of an integrated community of ideological and political courses in universities, primary and secondary schools is a brand-new way to improve the effect of ideological and political education. As the leading unit in the construction of an integrated community of ideological and political courses in primary, middle and primary schools in Gansu Province, Marxist College of Northwest Normal University cooperates with 14 units in the province to strengthen the reform and innovation, teaching and research, practical education, teacher training and other measures to build an ideological and political education community and continuously promote the high-quality development of ideological and political education.

Highlight problem orientation and improve working mechanism

The construction of an integrated community of ideological and political courses in universities, primary and secondary schools involves the connection and operation of many factors. The college adheres to the problem orientation, actively builds the working mechanism of the community, and forms a "collective consensus" and "action program" for the integrated construction with 14 cooperative units. Regularly carry out academic seminars on the construction of integrated communities, focusing on the integration of training objectives, teaching materials, teaching optimization and operation, teaching and research resources, teaching staff and other elements, to break through management barriers and form a sound working mechanism. The College actively coordinates with the administrative departments, promotes the establishment of steering committees and expert steering groups for the integrated construction of ideological and political courses in universities, primary and secondary schools, studies and formulates the implementation plan for the integrated community construction, and establishes the integrated normal communication mechanism, integrated sharing and co-construction mechanism, integrated teaching and research mechanism, integrated practical education mechanism, integrated teacher training mechanism, etc., and promotes the continuous improvement of the "community" mechanism with the sense of "integration".

Establish the concept of synergy and enhance the joint force of educating people

The focus of community construction is "coordination", and the key is to unite "joint efforts" to ensure that the teaching material system of ideological and political courses in all study sections in the region is built as one, the teaching content is focused as one, and the teaching and research activities are carried out as one. Under the guidance of "the concept of collaboration", the college signed agreements with Marxist colleges of many universities in the province to help and build together, took the lead in establishing the same-domain alliance for the integration of ideological and political courses in universities, primary and secondary schools, and regularly carried out provincial-level collaborative activities such as "hand in hand" collective lesson preparation meetings and "big training" team training, so as to strengthen communication and exchanges among teachers of ideological and political courses in various academic sections. Establish a mechanism of "classmate section, adjacent section and cross-section" for cross-class, collective lesson preparation and joint research, open up the boundary of ideological and political course teachers in colleges, middle schools and primary schools, build a platform for collective research and sharing of teaching resources, and create conditions for promoting academic research of ideological and political education. Relying on the famous teacher’s studio of ideological and political course and the provincial teaching team of "Introduction to Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s Theoretical System" and "Situation and Policy", the College has also selected exemplary "seed teachers", continuously built a high-quality teaching resource pool, actively expanded the diversified ways of ideological and political education personnel training and service, and continuously enhanced the educational synergy of the community through integrated teaching and scientific research.

Adhere to overall planning and improve the effectiveness of educating people

Practice teaching is not only an important part of ideological and political course teaching, but also an important starting point for ideological and political education. The college adheres to the student-centered concept of practical education, builds an integrated practical teaching community, promotes the mutual integration of practical teaching resources, and continuously improves the educational effectiveness of the community.

The college and community units make overall plans to build an integrated practical education mechanism, and rely on the practical teaching base of "Great Ideological and Political Course" to establish a cooperative system of sharing practical teaching bases; Relying on the platform of building an integrated community of ideological and political courses in universities, primary and secondary schools, we will cooperate with community members to build a practical classroom based on VR network teaching, innovate and expand the content and form of integrated practical teaching, actively build a practical education community, and empower practical teaching of ideological and political courses. The college also set up a theoretical propaganda group for college students in the new era, and went deep into universities, primary and secondary schools in the region to carry out social research. Through theoretical propaganda, pairing assistance and fixed-point teaching, it not only improved the effectiveness of practical education in each school section, but also accelerated the process of community construction.

Give full play to the advantages of disciplines and strengthen the teaching staff

Teachers are the key to running ideological and political courses well. As a key Marxist college in Gansu Province, the college has a national first-class undergraduate major in ideological and political education, a post-doctoral research station in Marxist theory, a first-class discipline authorized by a doctor’s degree in Marxist theory, and a first-class discipline authorized by a master’s degree in Marxist theory. It has formed an excellent talent training mechanism integrating undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral studies, trained a large number of outstanding ideological and political teachers for primary and secondary schools in the province, and has become a reliable guarantee for strengthening the teaching force of the community.

The College attaches great importance to the connotative construction of the teaching staff, insists on the combination of problem orientation, goal orientation and effect orientation, optimizes the secondary institutions of ideological and political course teaching and research, establishes the demonstration and research center of ideological and political course teaching, and strives to build a top-quality teaching and research team and demonstrate the "golden course" project. Organize outstanding backbone teachers to go to the practical education bases in primary and secondary schools in the province to carry out pairing assistance and exchange activities, give full play to the radiation-driven effect led by the demonstration of backbone teachers, and help young teachers in primary and secondary schools improve their professional level. The College has implemented the plan of "Master Studio" for ideological and political courses, jointly organized training and research with cooperative units, jointly conducted teaching seminars, jointly organized teaching exhibitions and jointly implemented practical research, which has hatched a number of backbone teams for the construction of an integrated community of ideological and political courses in universities, primary and secondary schools. In addition, the college also relies on institutions such as the Training and Research Center for Ideological and Political Work Team in Colleges and Universities of the Ministry of Education and the Research and Talent Training Center for Ideological and Political Education in Colleges and Universities of Gansu Province to train business backbones of ideological and political education from all over the province, which has played a positive role in strengthening the teaching staff of the community.

North Korea first showed Japanese media that "self-reliance" Mrs. Kim Jong-un’s hairstyle was sought after.

  CCTV News:Recently, a number of Japanese media have rarely been approved by the North Korean government to enter Pyongyang for interviews. Japanese media commented that although North Korea is suffering from international sanctions, the opening to foreign media is to show the attitude of self-reliance and economic development to the outside world.

  On the 8th, part of a sock factory in Pyongyang, North Korea was opened to Japanese media.

  The "Pyongyang Socks Factory" was built in 1962, and successive top leaders of North Korea have inspected this factory. According to the report, this is the first time that North Korea allowed Japanese media to interview the factory, and Japanese TV reporters entered the factory for the first time.

  This factory can produce 20 million pairs of socks every year. The person in charge of the propaganda of the factory said that it is difficult to import raw materials from abroad due to economic sanctions, so the localization of factory equipment and raw materials is being promoted.

  Japanese media reporters photographed that many "self-reliance" billboards were erected in Pyongyang, calling for relying on their own strength to develop the economy.

  On the morning of the 8th, North Korea also disclosed a vegetable plantation in Pyongyang to the Japanese media.

  The person in charge of this vegetable plantation said that all the vegetables here are soilless cultivated in greenhouse, and the advantage is that pests and diseases are not easy to occur. The North Korean government hopes to spread soilless culture technology to all parts of North Korea. Except sowing and picking, temperature control and fertilization are all controlled by computer.

  The Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation commented that although it is suffering from international sanctions, North Korea, which advocates "self-reliance", relies on its own strength to develop its economy and hopes to show its self-reliance attitude to foreign countries.

  In order to feel the fruits of North Korea’s economic development. Japanese media reporters came to Pyongyang subway and took the latest train.

  Japanese media reporters also walked into a barber shop in Pyongyang and found a picture of a female hairstyle on the wall, which is very similar to the hairstyle of Li Xuezhu, the wife of Chairman Kim Jong-un, and many female customers like this hairstyle.

Ministry of Transport: High-speed congestion has been significantly alleviated after the cancellation of provincial toll stations.

  BEIJING, Aug. 27 (Xinhua)-At the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Transport on the 27th, Sun Wenjian, a spokesman, said that since the resumption of toll collection on May 6, the national expressway network has been running smoothly, the congestion situation has been obviously alleviated, and the traffic efficiency has been significantly improved.

  At the meeting, a reporter was concerned about the operation of the national road network since the national highway toll was resumed on May 6. Sun Wenjian made a related introduction to this:

  First, the traffic volume has basically recovered. With the further recovery of China’s economic and social order, the data of June and July show that the total traffic volume of expressways in China has reached 1.7 billion, which has recovered to 97.4% of the same period last year, and the recovery speed is still relatively fast.

  Second, the traffic efficiency has been significantly improved. In June and July, the traffic data of expressway networks in 26 provinces across the country showed that the average speed of vehicles increased from 61 kilometers per hour in the same period last year to 71 kilometers per hour now, of which trucks increased from 51 kilometers per hour to 55 kilometers per hour, and buses increased from 67 kilometers per hour to 84 kilometers per hour now.

  For the improvement of highway traffic efficiency, Sun Wenjian believes that there are several main reasons:

  First, the provincial toll station has been abolished, and the provincial toll station is no longer congested, and vehicles can pass through the provincial toll station unimpeded.

  The second is the application of ETC card in trucks and buses. The utilization rate of ETC card in buses has exceeded 70%, and the utilization rate of ETC card in trucks is close to 50%. These two factors have obviously improved the traffic efficiency of the whole expressway network. There is a typical case, that is, on the Beijing-Guangzhou line, the long-distance truck from Beijing to Guangzhou saves a day’s travel time before and after the stop, which is very strong for truck drivers.

  Third, the congested road sections have been greatly reduced. In June and July, the average daily number of congested and slow-moving sections of expressways in China was 2,453, a decrease of 379 compared with the same period of last year, with a decrease of 13.38%. There are 271 expressway toll stations with daily congestion in China, a decrease of 431 compared with the same period of last year, which is even more obvious, reaching 61.43%. These two indicators can show that the highway traffic has become more and more smooth.

  Fourth, the traffic volume of trucks increased and the no-load rate decreased. In June and July, the number of expressway trucks in China was 506 million, up 13.05% year-on-year. Among them, the average no-load rate is 24%, which is 4.1% lower than the same period of last year. As the main force of expressway transportation, the average heavy-load rate of large trucks with five axles or above is 61.6%, which is 4.3% higher than the same period of last year. The actual load rate of trucks has obviously increased, one of which has decreased by 4.1% and the other has increased by 4.3%, which well illustrates the impact on trucks after changing from weighing to axle charging.

  Sun Wenjian pointed out that at present, the Ministry of Transport is paying close attention to the operation of the road network after the withdrawal of the station, scientifically evaluating relevant policies, and making timely amendments to ensure that the broad masses of people can travel with satisfaction.

In July, floods, wind and hail were the main natural disasters in China, and 16.92 million people were affected by various natural disasters.

  CCTV News:On August 17, 2022, Shen Zhanli, spokesperson of the Emergency Management Department and director of the Press and Publicity Department, introduced at the press conference that in July, floods and hailstorms were the main natural disasters in China, and droughts, typhoons, earthquakes, geological disasters and forest fires also occurred to varying degrees. A total of 16.92 million people were affected by various natural disasters, 90 people died and disappeared due to disasters, and the direct economic loss was 28.59 billion yuan.

  In July, the national natural disasters mainly showed the following characteristics: First, floods occurred in the north and south, local losses in Liaoning and Sichuan were heavy, floods in major rivers were generally stable, and local flash floods caused casualties. Second, there have been 10 strong convective weather processes in China, which are more than the same period of normal years. Wind power disasters are widespread and lightning strikes are more prominent. Third, the number of landing typhoons is small. Typhoon Siam is the first typhoon to land in China this year, with a wide range of influence, long duration and large accumulated rainfall. Fourth, the number of high-temperature days is more than normal, and early love occurs in Sichuan, Chongqing and Yunnan. Fifth, there were two earthquakes with magnitude above 5.0 in mainland China, and no casualties were caused.

  In July, the national production safety situation was relatively stable, with 1912 production safety accidents and 1609 deaths. The number of accidents, major accidents, major accidents and deaths all decreased year-on-year. However, from the typical accidents, some hidden dangers are still outstanding: First, the major hidden dangers in the mining field are not well managed, and the problem of illegal mining is outstanding. On July 23, a major accident of slope collapse occurred in Gansu Baiyin Hongsheng Coal Industry Co., Ltd., causing 10 deaths, and major accidents of illegal mining in metal and non-metal mines occurred in some places, causing casualties. Second, road transport accidents are frequent, of which 7 become major freight accidents; In addition, the summer travel and play have increased, and the risk of tourist passenger transport has been concentrated. Third, frequent gas leakage and explosion accidents, illegal construction in some places leads to gas leakage, and improper maintenance and use of gas equipment in production and business premises and residential areas are prominent. Fourth, disasters and accidents caused by extreme weather are frequent, especially the safety measures in tourist attractions are not in place, which leads to tourists’ distress, and water transportation and adventure navigation operations cause casualties.

How to prevent lightning disaster in strong convective weather season? A set of hand-drawn animation tells you!

CCTV News:With the arrival of summer, strong convective weather is frequent, and lightning disasters also need attention. So how is the lightning disaster produced and how to prevent it? Let’s get to know the relevant knowledge through a set of hand-drawn animations.

Lightning is an ultra-long distance discharge process in the atmosphere. Lightning has powerful current, scorching high temperature, strong electromagnetic radiation and violent shock wave, which makes it instantly become a "wreck-it ralph", causing lightning disasters. Cloud — Lightning, that is, when there is a discharge between the cloud and the earth, will have a great impact on human activities. Lightning strike can also change into a pattern, and it can be attacked by direct lightning strike, contact voltage, side lightning strike and step voltage. Lightning electromagnetic radiation may also interfere with and destroy the computer system and its data storage.

How do I know how far this dangerous lightning is from me?

Lightning and thunder were born at the same time, but they didn’t run as fast. Light can travel about 300,000 kilometers per second, while sound can only travel about 340 meters per second. Therefore, if you see lightning and hear thunder every 10 seconds, this thunderstorm is about three or four kilometers away.

If you are not sure of the time, you can also listen to the sound to feel it. When the lightning is close, it hears a sharp crack, and when it is far away, it is a rumbling sound. Generally speaking, if thunder can be heard, it will be within 10 kilometers. When encountering lightning weather, it is best not to use the solar water heater on the roof again, because water can conduct electricity and there is a hidden danger of lightning strike.

If you can’t find a suitable and safe lightning protection place outdoors for a while, you can try to squat down, bow your head, put your feet together and tuck your knees in your hands to avoid the "step voltage" damage caused by lightning. Because, when lightning is released from the cloud to the earth, it will produce a potential field, and the closer it is to the lightning point on the ground, the higher the potential is. If the site potentials of the two feet are different when lightning strikes, this potential difference will generate a voltage between the two feet and a current will pass through. The greater the distance between the feet, the greater the step voltage.

As the saying goes: it is not advisable to get off the bus to avoid the rain, and the car entertainment should be closed; All the windows should be closed tightly, and it can’t ride a bicycle or motorcycle; Don’t walk too high with an umbrella, and remove all metal ornaments; If lightning and thunder are similar, squat down and tuck your head to avoid.

Green Development, Sharing a New Chapter —— Summary of the Fifth Anniversary of the Symposium on Promoting the Development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt

  Covering 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River and spanning three major plates, the Yangtze River Economic Belt not only has outstanding ecological status, but also has great development potential.

  In the past five years, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have made historic achievements in "jointly protecting and not developing" and promoting the overall green transformation of economic and social development. The economic development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is generally stable and the structure is optimized.

  Break the dilemma

  Chemical industry is no longer "encircling the river"

  The total length of the Yangtze River in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province is only 25.8 kilometers, but there are 84 chemical production enterprises, which are very dense.

  In the Binjiang Chemical Industry Park in Xinbei District, Changzhou City, Gao Xiaoping, a villager from Xinhua Village, said that enterprises have invested and made local residents rich; "Chemical encircling the river" has made residents suffer from environmental pollution.

  "Crack ‘ Chemical wai Jiang ’ We are duty-bound. " Xu Yawei, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Changzhou Binjiang Economic Development Zone, said that the number of chemical enterprises in the development zone has decreased from 84 in 2019 to 41 by the end of 2020. "Shut down and turn around, the first thing to change is the development concept."

  Such measures in Changzhou are not uncommon in provinces and cities along the Yangtze River. In the past, petrochemical, steel, smelting and other industries gathered on both sides of the Yangtze River, with a large pollutant emission base, and wastewater, chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen emissions accounted for 43%, 37% and 43% of the country respectively. To give priority to ecology and green development, we must solve the dilemma of "chemical industry encircling the river".

  Upstream, the original chemical factory building in Linxiang Industrial Park, Linxiang City, Hunan Province is being transformed into a logistics base. Since 2018, Linxiang Industrial Park has stopped all newly started chemical projects within 1 km of the Yangtze River coastline. By the end of December 2020, nine chemical enterprises had taken the lead in withdrawing according to the plan. In Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, 37 small chemical enterprises within 1 km along the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake and Xiuhe River have all closed down at the end of 2019. The chemical industry once contributed nearly one-third of the industrial output value of Yichang City, Hubei Province. In 2017, Yichang formulated a three-year action plan for 134 chemical enterprises along the Yangtze River, and proposed measures such as shutting down a batch, transforming a batch on the spot, relocating a batch to the park, and changing production to a batch. This work is now nearing completion. Hubei Province proposes to complete the customs clearance and relocation of chemical enterprises within 1 km along the Yangtze River by December 31, 2020, and promote the customs clearance and relocation of chemical enterprises within 1-15 km along the Yangtze River by the end of 2022, so as to solve the outstanding problem of "chemical encircling the river" within three years.

  The banks of the Yangtze River, where machines roared and pipelines formed a network, are now gradually returning to peace. At the same time, new industries are rising and new kinetic energy is surging, and the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River are competing to embark on the road of green development.

  Seek high-quality development

  On November 23, 2020, after 10 hours of intense debugging, the 0.18 mm ultra-thin electronic glass production line of Yichang CSG Optoelectronic Glass Co., Ltd. successfully reached the standard for mass production. Guangzhou Automobile Passenger Car Yichang Branch has become a benchmark factory for energy-saving and environment-friendly intelligent manufacturing, which can produce a car every 52 seconds … …

  After the chemical industry was changed and moved, these alternative industries quickly made up the position. At present, the output value of new materials, biomedicine, electronic information and advanced equipment manufacturing accounts for 41.9% of Yichang’s total industrial output value. According to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, from January to September 2020, the proportion of days with excellent air quality in Yichang was 88.3%, up 21.3% from the same period in 2019.

  Tongling City, Anhui Province, named after copper, is prosperous because of copper. With the development of the industry entering the bottleneck period, how to promote industrial upgrading and achieve high-quality development has become a new topic in Tongling.

  "The industry needs to be transformed and copper foil needs to be developed, but we have no technology. What should we do?" For a while, Jia Jintao, the head of Tongguan Copper Foil Company, was puzzled by product innovation. Yuansheng Jin, head of high-tech department of Tongling Science and Technology Bureau, found that many copper enterprises are facing the same problem of scientific and technological innovation. "From the production of electrolytic copper to the research and development of copper foil and copper plate, improving the added value of products is the key."

  Tongling Science and Technology Bureau included Tongguan Copper Foil Company in the application guide of key scientific and technological projects, and borrowed money from universities and research institutes. Jia Jintao said, "With the help of experts and professors, the company’s electronic copper foil stress research project has been carried out smoothly, and I am full of confidence in the next development!"

  At present, Tongling is actively introducing deep processing projects of copper-based new materials, gradually getting rid of the primary processing stage of raw materials, and forming many industrial chains such as "plate, belt, tube, rod, wire, foil and powder". Recently, Tongling has issued a plan to promote the deep integration of copper-based new materials industry with new energy vehicles, electronic information and high-end equipment industries, and increase the added value of products.

  Changzhou Binjiang Chemical Industry Park shut down the chemical plants within 1 km along the Yangtze River and withdrew the coastline of the Yangtze River, which gave two enterprises of Wuxi Xingda Group a "new life" in the park. Xingda Group is determined to shut down two old factories and invest 3 billion yuan to rebuild new projects in different places in the park. According to the relevant person in charge, the new plant has opened up the upstream and downstream industrial chains, which not only reduces the cost and safety risks, but also reduces the discharge of wastewater and waste gas through new processes. According to estimates, after the completion of the new project, the annual sales of the enterprise will reach 6.5 billion yuan, the annual tax payment will be about 230 million yuan, the average tax revenue per mu will exceed 1 million yuan, and the wastewater emission reduction will exceed 20%.

  Jiujiang city put an end to "polluted" GDP and fiscal revenue. In recent years, Jiujiang has rejected more than 400 investment projects that have a negative impact on the ecological environment, leaving the development space along the Yangtze River to emerging industries led by port economy and digital economy. On the south bank of the Yangtze River and the west bank of Poyang Lake, a Poyang Lake Ecological Science and Technology City with a planned area of 158.53 square kilometers is emerging, and leading enterprises have settled in. "It turned out that attracting investment from all over the world was only an economic account. Now it is a political account, an ecological account, a social account and a long-term account." Wu Bin, director of the Office of the Leading Group for Open Development along the Yangtze River in Jiujiang, said.

  Promote synergy

  Dancing upstream and downstream

  Every day, Chongqing Minsheng Shipping Company has cargo ships departing from Chongqing Orchard Port, descending along the river, transshipping at Jiangsu Taicang Port and then heading for Shanghai Yangshan Port.

  At the beginning of 2020, Chongqing Orchard Port, Taicang Port and Shanghai Port opened the "Shanghai-Chongqing Direct Express Line". "On average, it runs every day. Compared with ordinary liners, the overall logistics timeliness has increased by more than 30%." Niu Xiandan, general manager of Chongqing Orchard Port International Logistics Hub Construction and Development Co., Ltd. said that in the future, the mechanism will be innovated to reduce the waiting time for ships to wait for the gate and change ships, and the voyage will be compressed for another two to three days.

  In Taicang Port and Yangshan Port downstream, the new customs clearance mode has also reduced the transportation time by at least two days. On November 4, 2020, 23.47 tons of red oak board arrived in Taicang Port from Yangshan Port, which is the first time that Yangshan — The first order after the formal operation of Taicang Port’s "linkage loading and unloading" supervision mode marks the comprehensive landing of customs clearance integration between Shanghai and Taiwan.

  "Taicang Port is an extension of Yangshan Port. After the imported goods are released in Yangshan Port, they can be directly transported to Taicang Port by special barges. The export goods arrive at the wharf of Taicang Port. After the customs declaration is released, they can leave the country directly from Yangshan Port. " Vivi, Deputy Chief of Logistics Management Section of Taicang Customs, said that this mode has solved the problems of customs declaration and second arrival, which can greatly save the logistics cost and customs clearance time of enterprises.

  The Yangtze River, a water transport artery that runs through the east and west, is a rare golden waterway in the world, and its freight volume ranks first among inland rivers in the world. In the past five years, the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have made great efforts to promote coordinated development and add color to this golden waterway.

  Sichuan and Chongqing have innovated the inter-provincial consultation and cooperation mechanism, established the three-level operation mechanism of Sichuan-Chongqing cooperation to promote the construction of the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu-Chongqing area, including the joint meeting of the party and government, the coordination meeting of executive vice-provincial mayors and the joint office, and promoted 31 major projects jointly implemented by Sichuan and Chongqing, with a total investment of about 556.3 billion yuan.

  Such a mechanism is being promoted in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The National Development and Reform Commission, together with 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, established the "1+3" inter-provincial consultation and cooperation mechanism in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and achieved a number of achievements in joint prevention and control of ecological environment, interconnection of infrastructure, and joint construction and sharing of public services. Three provinces and one city in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River took the lead in establishing a cooperation and coordination mechanism of "three-level operation, unification and separation, pragmatism and high efficiency"; Four provinces and cities of Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River signed an agreement to establish an inter-provincial consultation and cooperation mechanism in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River; Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan provinces in the middle reaches signed an agreement to establish an inter-provincial consultation and cooperation mechanism in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River … …

  The institutional mechanism has been broken, and the multi-level consultation and cooperation mechanism framework has taken shape. The upstream and downstream of the Yangtze River Economic Belt are working together to develop a new chapter.

Enhance academic self-confidence and clarify the road of China.

  The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s entry into a new era means the continuous development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s roads, theories, systems and culture, which has expanded the way for developing countries to move towards modernization, provided new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to speed up their development and maintain their independence, and contributed China wisdom and China’s plan to solving human problems. It can be said that the success of China Road is changing the inherent view of the world on the road of human social development, especially the road of modernization, and more and more showing its world significance. For China scholars, it is not only a very important political task, but also a very serious academic research.

  Clarifying the road of China is of great significance to the development of China and the world.

  Today, China is increasingly connected with the world. Explaining the road of China to the world is of great significance to the development of China and the world today.

  The objective need for China to approach the center of the world stage and play a greater role. After 40 years of hard struggle and exploration of reform and opening up, China has created an earth-shattering miracle in the history of human social development. The level of social productivity has improved significantly, the people’s living standards have improved significantly, and its international influence and voice have improved significantly. Especially since the international financial crisis broke out in 2008 and China surpassed Japan to become the second largest economy in the world in 2010, China’s international status has become increasingly prominent, and it has approached the center of the world stage with a more steady and confident pace. In today’s world, China plays an irreplaceable and constructive role in promoting economic globalization, handling major international affairs and building a more just and reasonable international order. It is hard to imagine what the world would be like without China. Therefore, China needs to convey more China voices to the world, better display China’s national image, and let the world know more about China, accept China and recognize China.

  To provide the world with the wisdom of China and the practical needs of China’s plan. As Comrade Supreme Leader said, "The world is so big and there are so many problems, and the international community is looking forward to hearing China’s voice and seeing China’s plan". At present, the economic recovery of major developed countries is slow, and economic and social development encounters various difficulties, which makes it more urgent for mankind to explore a better social system. The vast number of developing countries not only have similar historical circumstances to China, but also face unavoidable and unavoidable problems of governing the country, such as how to develop the economy, improve people’s livelihood and maintain stability. In contrast, the development of China has accumulated many successful experiences that are effective and worthy of long-term persistence, and won universal praise in the world. The successful practice and valuable experience of China Road show China’s wisdom, provide valuable reference experience for global governance, and set a very rare and good model for the world, especially the developing countries, to explore the development path in line with their own national conditions. As China approaches the center of the world stage, it is in such a big trend that leads the world. China scholars should enhance their confidence and ability to explain the road of China to the whole world.

  It is necessary to clarify the prejudice and misunderstanding of China in western society. How to solve the difficult problem of realizing modernization in a populous, poor and backward country? There is no precedent in the world. China not only solved this problem, but also did it well. Today, China has made great achievements that attract worldwide attention in its modernization drive and made important contributions to world development. However, due to ideological prejudice, even for ulterior political purposes, some western forces are used to looking at China’s road and China’s development through "colored glasses", and "China’s collapse theory" and "China threat theory" are endless, and the phenomena of questioning, accusing and even attacking China are one after another. China scholars can’t turn a blind eye to this, let alone let it go. China scholars can make great achievements in clarifying prejudice and misreading. We should interpret the code of China’s development and the value of China Road through academic communication and dialogue, so as to avoid the misunderstanding, misreading and misunderstanding of China in western society to the greatest extent.

  To clarify the road of China, we must grasp several aspects

  To explain the road of China to the world, we must solve the problem of what to say. From the actual situation, we need to grasp the following aspects.

  China Road is a hard-won road. The road of China did not fall from the sky, but the correct road suitable for the national conditions of China was found by the Communist Party of China (CPC) who led the people of China to go through all kinds of hardships and pay all kinds of costs. This road was formed through continuous practical innovation and theoretical exploration led by generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people. It is full of suffering and glory, twists and turns and victories, dedication and gains. It is the correct road that has been tested by practice and is hard-won and precious. China Road with a strong sense of history is both a historical necessity and a choice of the people. The people of China must cherish it and never make subversive mistakes.

  China Road is a road with unique advantages. China Road has unparalleled unique advantages. For example, from the economic system, the socialist market economic system gives full play to the role of the market and the government, which not only ensures economic vitality, but also ensures macroeconomic stability, and is an advanced economic system. From the political system, China’s political party system is advanced and successful. The multi-party cooperative political party system led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) can carry forward democracy and brainstorm ideas, and at the same time can avoid the problems of continuous party struggle and low efficiency caused by the western two-party system and multi-party system. From the perspective of cultural system, Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural construction not only ensures the guiding position of Marxism, but also stimulates the cultural innovation and creativity of the whole nation and promotes the prosperity of socialist culture. China Road follows the basic law of the development of human society, conforms to the trend of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, and can properly handle the major relations in economic and social development, so it has unlimited bright prospects and will surely become wider and wider.

  China Road is a road that benefits the people. China’s road has rich connotations, colorful theoretical elements and profound China wisdom. China Road is committed to meeting people’s growing needs for a better life, enhancing people’s well-being, promoting people’s all-round development, and gradually achieving common prosperity for all people. China Road insists on rallying people’s strength, respecting people, relying on people, for people, and realizing people’s fundamental interests as the starting point and the end result. Judging from the historical process since the reform and opening up, it is precisely because our party conforms to the people’s yearning for a better life and upholds the people-centered development thought that it can fully mobilize the people’s enthusiasm, initiative and creativity to participate in socialist modernization and enable the people to enjoy more and fairer development results. As far as poverty alleviation is concerned, over the past five years, China has steadily lifted more than 68 million poor people out of poverty, and the incidence of poverty has dropped from 10.2% to 3.1%. The reason why China Road shows more and more energy lies in the active recognition, heartfelt support and full participation of the people.

  China Road is a way to contribute to the world. In recent years, with the deepening of reform and opening up, China’s national strength has been continuously enhanced, its influence has been continuously enhanced, and its contribution to the world has been increasing day by day. "What can China Road contribute to the world" has become the "question of the times" that must be answered today. Generally speaking, China Road has made at least five historic contributions to the world: survival contribution, development contribution, institutional contribution, cultural contribution and peaceful contribution. China advocates diversity in the world, equality among countries, mutual learning among civilizations, inclusive development and mutual benefit, and promotes the building of a community of human destiny. In recent years, China’s foreign trade, foreign investment and foreign exchange reserves rank among the top in the world, contributing more than 30% to world economic growth. This is a powerful proof of China’s contribution to the world. China solved the difficult problem of modernization with Marxist wisdom and oriental wisdom, and changed the modernization mode from single choice to multiple choice, which promoted the diversity of human civilization development.

  Enhance academic self-confidence and impress people with academic theory

  China scholars can explain the road of China to the world clearly, instead of shouting slogans, talking to themselves and imposing on others, they must strengthen academic expression, dissemination, communication and dialogue, explain facts with academics and impress people with academic theories.

  Enhance academic self-confidence. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that after long-term efforts, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, which is a new historical orientation for China’s development. China scholars should firmly grasp the fundamental change of Socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era, build a solid ideological foundation, enhance road confidence, theoretical self-confidence, institutional self-confidence and cultural self-confidence, tell the story of China well from the historical position of the new era, and systematically explain the road of China from the height of the whole world. Where does confidence and confidence come from? The great achievements from Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s practice come from the unique advantages of looking at the world scenery. China scholars should construct China’s own academic system and discourse system, explain China’s experience and contribute China’s wisdom to the international community, and fully reflect China scholars’ academic responsibility and academic attainments. We should use China’s academic thought to tell the story of China, spread the voice of China and contribute China’s academic gift to the world.

  Learn from academic achievements. China’s development achievements have attracted the continuous attention of the world, especially the attention of international academic circles. Overseas, there has been an upsurge of research on China, and many well-known institutions and scholars have achieved considerable positive results. China scholars should persist in not forgetting the original, absorbing foreign countries and facing the future, and deepen the study of China Road and contemporary China issues. We should not only base ourselves on the reality of our country, but also open the door to engage in research; We should not only pay attention to originality, focus on me, but also be eclectic and use it for us, actively learn from and absorb the research results of overseas scholars. For example, in recent years, the latest research results of overseas scholars on China model, China experience, China’s economic development, China’s democratic political construction and the construction of the ruling party have certain enlightenment and reference significance in terms of perspectives, methods and opinions, which can be a reference for us to strengthen academic research. China scholars should enhance their awareness of openness and international communication, insist on focusing on themselves and learn from them extensively, so as to make China’s academic discourse, academic system and academic achievements more contemporary and international, and more easily accepted by international academic circles and the international community.

  Strengthen academic exchanges. With the development of China, the discourse power of China scholars is changing profoundly from being unqualified, soliloquizing and unable to say aphasia to being partially led. This transformation process is actually a process in which China’s academics are led by theory defense and theory explanation. To achieve theoretical guidance, express China’s words to the world, interpret China’s plan and explain China’s road clearly, we need to "go out" and "please come in", and attach great importance to academic exchanges and mutual learning. It is necessary to build an academic exchange platform, actively participate in international bilateral and multilateral academic activities, make full use of international forums, forums and conferences at all levels, establish a long-term and stable high-end academic dialogue mechanism, and improve the quality of academic exchanges; Broaden the field of academic exchanges, fully express China’s values, and advocate and enhance the community consensus on human destiny; Strengthen exchanges between think tanks at home and abroad, guide influential and convincing academic achievements to go abroad, promote overseas China studies, and let the world know China and China better.

  Accelerate academic innovation. Time is the mother of thought and practice is the source of theory. The vitality of theory lies in innovation. China scholars should uphold the scientific attitude and method of doing scholarly research, earnestly enhance their sense of innovation, fully embody China’s characteristics, China’s style and China’s style in academic propositions, academic ideas, academic viewpoints and academic discourses, constantly summarize and refine new concepts, new categories, new systems and new expressions, effectively enhance the innovation and affinity of academic achievements, and demonstrate the responsibility of China scholars in accurately explaining China’s road. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "We should focus on the major issues facing the development of China and the world, and strive to put forward ideas, propositions and plans that can reflect China’s position, China’s wisdom and China’s values." China scholars should strengthen academic accumulation, lay a solid academic foundation, cultivate academic ethics, broaden their academic horizons, pay attention to the integration of history and reality, theory and practice, and improve the explanatory power of academic achievements. Give full play to professional characteristics and academic expertise, further refine and optimize the discourse of external publicity, jump out of the pattern of interpreting the reality of China with western discourse, and strive to make more high-quality academic achievements that people who care about the road of China and the development of China love to read.

Do a good job in drought relief and ensure the national economy and people’s livelihood

    For some time, the drought in many places in China has developed rapidly, superimposed with high temperature and heat damage, which has adversely affected the production and life of many people. A few days ago, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Emergency Management Department and the China Meteorological Bureau jointly issued an urgent notice, demanding that the relevant areas do their best to prevent and reduce disasters, go all out to win the battle against high temperature, heat, drought and harvest of autumn grain, and clearly put forward that we should do everything possible to broaden drought-resistant water sources, strengthen the scientific dispatching management of water sources such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and strive to ensure the demand for agricultural irrigation water.

    "Thirst" cannot be delayed, and ensuring people’s water use is the top priority. Allowing rural residents to drink "safe water" and "safe water" for a long time is the basic premise of getting rid of poverty, an important content of realizing rural revitalization, and the proper meaning of protecting farmers’ rights and interests. In addition, as the saying goes: "Spring drought is not a drought, and autumn drought is halved." To prevent the autumn grain from decreasing production, we must do our best to fight drought and win the battle of autumn grain harvest.

    Earlier, the person in charge of the relevant departments of the Ministry of Water Resources said that the drinking water safety situation of rural people in drought-stricken areas had been comprehensively explored, so as not to miss one household or one person. It is an urgent and important task to solve the drinking water difficulties of urban and rural residents and let the people drink "safe water" and "safe water".

    According to the news from all sides, many places have also acted quickly. From water storage and water conservation, to water replenishment, to water supply by turns and emergency water supply in sections and districts, in order to ensure the people’s water use. In addition, from opening up new water sources, to time-sharing water supply, and then to pulling water to deliver water, relevant local departments have also introduced targeted measures according to local conditions to minimize the impact of drought.

    Some implement artificial precipitation enhancement to "quench thirst" for the land; Some are "well organized" to fight drought, and "big wells, small wells, deep wells and old wells are together"; Others mobilize scientific and technical personnel to show their strength at critical moments. For example, agricultural technicians help growers to use water sources such as wells, rivers, ponds and canals to replenish water for irrigation, timely topdressing panicle fertilizer, and strengthen pest control and monitoring. Drought resistance and bumper harvest, proper measures and comprehensive efforts can achieve great results.

    It should also be noted that it is difficult to achieve the expected results by individual strength alone in dealing with this drought. Farmers everywhere took action spontaneously, and their spirit was commendable. However, it is necessary to unite the group to fight drought, especially the relevant departments should organize capable personnel, mobilize the forces of all parties, and form a huge and sustained joint force to maximize the effectiveness of drought relief. In this process, we must also fight drought scientifically, spend money on the cutting edge and use our strength in critical areas.

    Drought resistance is not a matter of one department, but needs multi-department linkage. The emergency notice issued by the 4 departments this time reflects this point. The water conservancy department should strengthen the scientific dispatching management of rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other water sources, the emergency department should preset emergency response forces and materials and equipment for flood control and drought relief, the meteorological department should dispatch operational aircraft to the severely drought-stricken areas in time, and the agricultural and rural departments should further improve the technical guidance for fighting disasters and harvesting crops. While completing their own work, they should also hold hands with each other and strengthen linkage to better cope with this round of drought.

    China is a country with frequent floods and droughts, and has accumulated rich experience in the long-term drought relief process. However, in the face of this rare serious drought, we must not be the slightest bit careless. It should be admitted that it is not easy to do a good job in drought early warning and strengthen risk management, but it does not mean that human beings can only do nothing. We should vigorously fill shortcomings, plug loopholes, and improve drought resistance, optimize drought resistance means with the greatest strength, and introduce advanced technology to effectively reduce the harm caused by drought.

    Strengthening the prevention and control of natural disasters is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, and to everyone’s life safety. Drought is the command. We should not only make strategic preparations for "fighting against severe drought and long drought", but also try our best to refresh more effective "fighting methods" in tactics, improve the drought-fighting effect and fully protect the national economy and people’s livelihood.
