  In 2024, the intended planting area of grain will be over 1.78 billion mu.

  On the morning of April 19th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference. According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in 2024, the state continued to increase its support for grain production, and the intended planting area of grain increased over the previous year.

  According to the agricultural dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, at present, the area of grain crops sown in spring in China is 190 million mu, accounting for 19.8% of the planned area, and the sowing progress is 0.5 percentage points faster than the same period in 2023. In 2024, the state will continue to increase its support for grain production and stabilize farmers’ income expectations from grain production.

  Pan Wenbo, director of the Planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, introduced that the minimum purchase price of wheat and early indica rice should be increased and subsidies for corn and soybean producers should be stabilized. We will expand the scale of funds for the project of increasing grain yield per unit area, and continue to implement the "one spraying and three prevention" full coverage of wheat and subsidies for the construction of centralized rice seedling raising facilities in southern China. According to the agricultural situation, in 2024, the intended planting area of grain will be more than 1.78 billion mu, an increase over the previous year.

  Pan Wenbo said that in 2024, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs insisted on focusing on increasing grain production in a large area. Anchor a new round of action target of increasing grain production capacity by 100 billion Jin, focus on major crops such as soybeans, corn, wheat, rice and rape, promote the integration of fertile fields, improved varieties, good opportunities, good laws and good systems, and carry out large-scale unit yield improvement actions in the whole system of major producing counties.

  The meteorological department predicts that in 2024, the overall deviation of agro-meteorological year, flood disaster may be heavier than drought, and extreme weather events occur frequently. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shall, jointly with meteorological, water conservancy and emergency departments, formulate disaster prevention and mitigation plans and technical schemes by region, crop and disaster species. In particular, we will speed up the construction of regional agricultural emergency relief centers, equip them with disaster relief machines and equipment, build a strong agricultural machinery emergency operation service team, and enhance the disaster prevention, mitigation and relief capabilities of grain and agricultural production.

  There are 614,000 warehousing projects to speed up the improvement of rural construction in China.

  Improving the level of rural construction is the key task to promote the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. At the press conference of the State Council Press Office on April 19th, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that in 2024, solid measures will be taken to accelerate the improvement of rural construction.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that the key to improving the level of rural construction is to strengthen management, speed up construction and promote the implementation of the project by relying on "one library and one order". "One library" refers to the rural construction project library, which undertakes the functions of project reserve, overall layout and progress scheduling. "One order" refers to the list of tasks, which objectively reflects the construction needs of farmers, including basic elements such as construction tasks, construction objectives and responsible departments.

  Li Jinghui introduced that by the end of March, 614,000 projects had been put into storage, and the project funds were 250.74 billion yuan. In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will aim at the goal of "rural areas basically have modern living conditions", take the experience of "Ten Million Projects" as the guide, give full play to the functions of rural construction project library and task list, concentrate resources, speed up breakthroughs, and do a good job in making a group of tangible things.

  Li Jinghui said that first of all, we will find out the construction needs, organize farmers to start with urgent problems, and focus on village roads, safe drinking water, reliable power supply, delivery logistics, garbage sewage and toilet manure treatment, and child care and old-age care, so as to meet the needs. Next, determine the construction tasks, promote the inclusive, basic and comprehensive livelihood construction projects, and refine the tasks to the village. Raise funds in various ways, promote construction in an orderly manner, and build one and become one.

  The overall price of agricultural products is expected to gradually stabilize and rebound.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that the current decline in agricultural product prices, on the whole, is a staged fluctuation under the law of market supply and demand, and it is expected to gradually stabilize and rebound in the later period.

  Affected by multiple factors at home and abroad, in the first quarter of 2024, the prices of most agricultural products in China were weak. With the domestic production and supply of grain, pigs and other important bulk agricultural products increasing steadily year after year, the influence of changes in consumption and import on prices has become relatively obvious.

  On the one hand, the consumption of agricultural products is still in the process of recovery. According to the comprehensive processing enterprises and wholesale markets, at present, the consumption of some agricultural products has not yet recovered to the expected level. On the other hand, due to the transmission of international market prices, the prices of international bulk agricultural products have continued to fall sharply since the second half of 2022, which has reduced the driving force for domestic agricultural product prices to some extent. At the same time, under the psychological influence of buying up and not buying down, some market players have also adjusted their business strategies such as buying, selling, storing and transporting, which has reduced the expected space for price increases to some extent.

  Lei Liugong, director of the Department of Market and Information Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in order to promote the smooth operation of the agricultural product market and stabilize farmers’ income expectations, the relevant state departments have taken a series of measures in a timely manner, such as adjusting and optimizing production capacity, increasing reserve purchases, and promoting processing and transformation. At present, some achievements have been made, and the market prices of some varieties such as corn and pork have stabilized recently.

  Lei Liugong said that from the later trend, with the effectiveness of various macro-policy combinations, the economy will continue to recover, the demand for agricultural products will continue to pick up, and the market expectation will be further improved. The overall price of agricultural products is expected to gradually stabilize and rebound and remain within a reasonable range.

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

[Truck House Original]Not long ago, we exposed the vehicle cargo compartment suspected of being a new type of barn, and the photos of the vehicle. From the photos, we can see that the non-detachable partition layer is added in the middle of the barn cargo compartment that meets the new regulations. In other words, the size of the goods in the warehouse is limited. To this end, we specially found people in the industry to chat.

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

When we talked to the industry about the specific provisions of the warehouse compartment, the industry said: Now some card friends have begun to joke that the cargo compartment has become "Storage compartment". Installing a partition in the middle of the cargo box is virtually equivalent to forcibly dividing a cargo box into two layers. If, strictly in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations, the middle fence is a non-detachable structure, then there will be almost no possibility of forklift loading and unloading in the lower space, and only manual stacking will bring some inconvenience to loading and unloading.

Of course, if the two sides of the cargo compartment adopt movable door rail structure, both sides can be opened, and the rail plate part can also be opened, so that the side loading is relatively acceptable and not too difficult. While we were discussing the difficulty of loading and unloading, we also noticed another message in the relevant regulations: it is clearly stipulated in the new regulations that the maximum distance between the bottom plate of the cargo compartment and the top of the barn is less than or equal to 1500mm, that is to say, the 1.5-meter-high barn actually does not need to adopt a multi-floor structure.

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

This sentence has opened the "chatterboxes" of many insiders. According to their inference, the possibility of refitting warehouse-grating trucks in the market may not be ruled out in the future. So how to change it specifically? Let’s look down.

The pictures are old and of poor quality.

According to industry insiders, today’s 1.5-meter warehouse compartment reminds it of the 25-meter retractable big board car exposed in 2015. At that time, this kind of telescopic slab, which was originally used to transport special goods such as blades of wind power plants, was used by unscrupulous people to transport general goods, disrupting the market order, and at the same time there were huge security risks, which caused quite a stir.

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

All the girders can be telescopic, which inevitably makes people worry that the door bars of the warehouse-gate trucks may also be "telescopic". At the same time, the industry also said that it is not the first time that a "telescopic" structure has appeared on a 4-meter-2 warehouse-grating truck. In 2017, there was a news report that a retractable barn truck appeared in Chongqing, which was modified to extend the carriage through tools to increase the volume of the container.

After the extension, we visually doubled the length of the cargo compartment of the warehouse-gate truck, and properly overloaded a 4-meter-2 truck to 8-meter-4. And this also makes us worry, will the 1.5-meter-high warehouse truck be "stretched" on it in the future and become a 2-meter-high warehouse truck?

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

According to Xiao Bian, it’s enough to think about the "retractable barn" thing, and don’t really do it. Because as early as a few days ago, on January 12th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued a notice to further strengthen the production and registration management of light trucks and small and micro passenger cars.

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

Even in the laterOn January 20, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also issued a notice again, explicitly requiring that the monitoring video of blue brand light truck should be kept for no less than 6 years, so that the inspection declaration of multiple new cars and the subsequent vehicle inspection and inspection process can be explained more accurately.. Not only the requirements are strict, but the punishment is even more "hard"!

The 1.5-meter warehouse compartment wants to be modified and inspected? The idea is dangerous!

According to the relevant data, after March 1, 2022, if you continue to produce and sell "large-ton and small-label" products, or if you cheat to obtain motor vehicle license through "one vehicle with two certificates" or "car on duty", once it is confirmed, the production enterprise will be severely dealt with according to the law and regulations, and the application for Announcement of new automobile products of this enterprise will no longer be accepted within one year. If the case constitutes a crime, the person in charge of the enterprise shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law. Under the clear regulations and heavy penalties, Xiaobian here advises the card friends who have moved their minds, or don’t touch the line of fire, it is better to get burned.

● Editor’s note:

Many people think that the new regulations for blue light trucks seem to put a "tightening spell" on the car. However, according to Xiaobian, the original draft for comments has promoted the progress of 2.5L, making it now reach a powerful output of about 160 horsepower and 450 Nm. In addition to these, blocking vehicles and so on can also restrict the overload phenomenon that many people are "used to" to a certain extent, but this may not be effective immediately.

Summer life of talented people in Tang Dynasty

For us today, it is not a problem to spend the hot summer. However, it’s not easy to travel to Chang ‘an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

The research of Zhu Kezhen, a famous meteorologist, shows that there were four warm periods in ancient Chinese history, among which the Tang Dynasty was the hottest period. Chang ‘an at that time was extremely hot in summer. Du Fu wrote that "the birds died of bitter heat, and the fish in the pond dried up their mud", "It’s never sunset, and it’s toxic to my intestines", and "it’s not enough to eat temporary meals on July 6". The poet Wang Gu’s "Bitter and Hot Journey" is even more frightening: "Zhu Rong came from the south to whip the fire dragon, and the flame of the fire flag burned the sky red. The sun will not freeze at noon, and all nations will be in a furnace. "

At that time, there was a "literary society" in Chang ‘an, called Ten Talented Scholars in Dali. According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, the ten talented scholars were Li Duan, Lu Lun, Ji Zhongfu, Han Han, Qian Qi, Sikong Shu, Miao Fa, Cui Yao, Geng Yong, Xiahou Shen, and in some versions there was Li Yi.

In ancient times, writers with the same style of works often called each other, including two people, three people and eight people. It is very rare for these ten poets to say the same thing. They are all poets in Tang Daizong’s Dali period. They wrote about their personal life experiences, feasted and sang, and toured the mountains and enjoyed the water. They created the delicate beauty of the Dali poetry circle and left many poems with friends, so people gave them this reputation.

Ten talented people are outstanding in poetry, and some of their summer remedies are also revealed in their poems.

It is Qian Qi’s way to build a small courtyard to enjoy the cool in the summer. The poem "Summer and Cool" is based on this feeling:

When Li Yi was enjoying the cool breeze in his own home, he suddenly remembered his friends Miao Fa and Sikong Shu. I wonder if they are cool, so he wrote a poem "Send Miao Fa Sikong Shu at the Bamboo Window":

There is a summer resort in the south of Chang ‘an, Jionji, which is close to Qujiang. The temple is planted with Gu Song bamboo, which is quiet and quiet. You can also bathe in the cool wind when you climb the tower. In the Tang Dynasty, all the scholars in the New China inscribed their names in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, where people can enjoy the cool and soak in the rain and dew of the scholars.

Li Duan and Miao Fa, when the summer heat was difficult, went to Jionji, south of the city, and spent a rare cool day. Li Duan was deeply touched, and wrote "Summer with Miao Fa in Jionji":

Li Duan used allusions, old poems and Buddhist scriptures in his poems, and Tiger Creek and Lotus were all handy. At the same time, the meaning of coolness also sneaked into the wind, like a lotus flower, pure and pure. Lu Lun and Cui Dong also came to Jionji for the summer in a hot summer, which really happened to coincide. Lu Lun was full of poetry, and wrote a poem "Summer Vacation in Jionji with Cui Yao":

The poem describes that people in Chang ‘an are like fire houses in midsummer, which shows that Chang ‘an was very hot at that time.

At that time, the powerful family in Beijing had good summer conditions. Li Duan and others have close contacts with the prime ministers Yuan Zai and Wang Jin, and they have many opportunities to go in and out of the prime minister’s office, so they naturally get a good chance to enjoy the cool. Therefore, Li Duan wrote this poem "Feng and Wang Yuan’s two-phase summer vacation Huai Du Taiwei":

In addition to this summer poem, the ten talented people also sang with Yuan Wang. Cui Yao and Qian Qi have the same topic "Painting Komatsu in Yuan Dynasty, Wang Xiang Gong and Du San Xiang Gong", Han Yi has dozens of songs and poems, such as "Serving Yuan Xiang Gong’s Home", Geng Kun’s "Sending Yuan School Book Lang Bo and Xiangguo Yuanzi in Spring", Sikong Shu’s "Sending Yuan School Book in Early Summer" and Lu Lun’s. From these poems, we can see that Li Duan and other ten talented people in Dali had close contacts with the prime ministers Yuan Zai and Wang Jin at that time, which may be the reason why Yuan Zai and Wang Jin recommended ten talented people many times. Thanks to the help of the two prime ministers, the situation of the ten talented people has been greatly improved, and they have taken up positions in the imperial court, which has added some protection to their "drifting in Beijing" life, so that they can have the opportunity and space to sing and sing. To some extent, the establishment of the status of the ten talented people is inseparable from the painstaking efforts of Yuan and Wang. In this way, it is more than a trivial matter to go to the prime minister’s office to enjoy the cool.

These summer poems written by them not only have literary value, but also have historical significance to understand the summer life of the people in the Tang Dynasty.

South Africa’s power generation capacity improves. Officials say they will gradually get rid of the power shortage.

  China news agency, Johannesburg, July 3 (Reporter Damon) As of July 3, local time, South Africa’s power rationing level has dropped to a lower level III, and the duration of power rationing has reached the shortest in the past two years. According to South Africa’s Minister of Electricity Ramohopa, South Africa’s power generation capacity has improved significantly at present, and South Africans are expected to be protected from the impact of continuous power cuts this winter.

  Since 2023, the problem of power rationing in South Africa has become more and more serious, and frequent power rationing measures have seriously affected the production and life of local people. At the beginning of the year, it once entered a state of national disaster due to large-scale power rationing. Especially with the coming of winter, the outside world has unanimously looked down on the power supply prospect of South Africa this winter.

  However, with the coming to power of La Mohopa and the continuous reform of the power system, the power supply situation in South Africa has been continuously improved. According to Ramohopa, the expert team of the South African National Power Company is working around the clock to ensure that the power generation capacity of the power company can meet the people’s higher demand for electricity in winter. At present, it can basically guarantee that there will be no power cuts for two-thirds of the day, and the supply and demand are gradually shrinking, which will gradually get rid of the power cuts in South Africa.

  According to Ramohopa, through strengthening internal supervision and the presence of the South African Defence Force, the current cases of sabotage and corruption against the South African power system have also been greatly reduced, which undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the outside world in the South African National Power Company.

  However, Ramohopa admits that there are still many generator sets in trouble, and the power supply system is still fragile and faces greater risks. Therefore, the South African people still need to be prepared to deal with the possibility of nationwide power cuts.

Shenzhen "Financing City" fund-raising fraud case was sentenced to nearly 5 billion in the first instance.

  Xinhua News Agency, Shenzhen, August 24th (Reporter Zhou Ke) The reporter learned from the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court that on the 23rd, the court publicly pronounced a verdict on 28 people, including Dong Ming, the controller of Shenzhen Financing City Network Service Center Co., Ltd., who were suspected of committing the crime of fund-raising fraud and illegally absorbing public deposits.

  The court sentenced the defendant Dong Ming to life imprisonment for the crime of fund-raising fraud, deprived him of political rights for life, and confiscated his personal property of RMB 100 million. For the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits, 27 defendants, including Wang Lianlin, Ge Shaoyong, Yang Xiaoshan and Ke Lixin, were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years to fixed-term imprisonment of 3 years, suspended for 3 years, and fined. The stolen money shall continue to be recovered by the public security organs, and the recovered part shall be returned to the fund-raising participants in proportion according to law; The funds seized and frozen in the case shall be returned to the fund-raising participants in proportion according to law; After the property, vehicles, shares and articles sealed up and detained in the case are changed in price, they will be returned to the fund-raising participants in proportion according to law, and the insufficient part will be ordered to continue to refund compensation and be returned separately according to the same principle according to law.

  The court found through trial that in March 2009, the defendant Dong Ming established Shenzhen Financing City Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. by means of cross-shareholding of his holding company, and later renamed it Shenzhen Financing City Network Service Center Co., Ltd., and established an Internet investment and financing platform. Dong Ming and others illegally raised funds by investing in wealth management, investing in shares, etc. without the approval of the competent authorities of the state, and illegally controlled the fund-raising by using methods such as self-financing, returning new packages to old ones, and intercepting financing funds, and illegally raised RMB 4.945 billion from 5,240 people.

  After trial, the court held that the defendant Dong Ming illegally raised funds for the purpose of illegal possession. After raising funds, it was obviously disproportionate to the scale of raising funds for production and business activities. The profitability of production and business activities did not have the possibility of paying all the principal and interest, and the principal and interest were mainly returned by borrowing new ones. As a result, the amount of funds raised could not be returned, and the circumstances were particularly serious, which constituted the crime of fund-raising fraud. The defendants Wang Lianlin, Ge Shaoyong, Yang Xiaoshan, Ke Lixin and other 27 people illegally absorbed public deposits, disrupting the financial order, and the amount was huge, all of which constituted the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits. According to the facts, nature, circumstances, amount and degree of harm to society of each defendant, the court made the above judgment.

  More than 400 relatives of the defendant, fund-raising participants and people from all walks of life attended the verdict.

On the new journey, we will continue to push forward reform and opening up, and make unremitting efforts to realize the goal of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the theme of all the party’s theories and practices since the reform and opening up.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Reform and opening up is a great awakening of our party, and it is this great awakening that gave birth to our party’s great creation from theory to practice. Reform and opening up is a great revolution in the history of the development of Chinese people and the Chinese nation. It is this great revolution that has promoted the great leap of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause! " Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the theme of the whole theory and practice of the Party since the reform and opening up. On the basis of summing up the experience of the world socialist movement and China’s socialist construction, our party deeply realizes that socialist construction is a process of continuous development and change, and there is no fixed and unique model, so we must combine the universal truth of Marxism with China’s concrete reality. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, our party clearly put forward "taking our own road and building socialism with China characteristics", United and led the people of China, emancipated their minds and forged ahead, and initiated, persisted, defended and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the new period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, our party founded Deng Xiaoping Theory, formed Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory System, and achieved a new leap in China Marxism. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has United and led the people of China, self-confident, self-reliant, upright and innovative, taking charge of great struggles, great projects, great undertakings and great dreams, and making overall plans to promote ".The overall layout of "five in one" and the coordinated promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layout have pushed Socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era. The Communist Party of China (CPC) people, represented by the Supreme Leader, founded the Supreme Leader’s New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, which achieved a new leap in the China of Marxism and made scientific socialism glow with more vitality.

  At every major historical juncture of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s development, it was through reform and opening up that it broke through the predicament and made continuous progress towards new success. Reform and opening up have broken the imprisonment of rigid and conservative ideas, and the ideological outlook and spiritual outlook of the whole party and the people throughout the country have taken on a new look; It broke the traditional planned economy system, and made rural areas and cities compete with each other for generate’s endless vitality and creativity. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the face of extensive and profound changes in the domestic and international environment and a series of new contradictions and challenges facing China’s development, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has held high the banner of reform and opening up in the new era, taking promoting social fairness and justice and enhancing people’s well-being as the starting point and foothold, highlighting the problem orientation, focusing on further emancipating the mind, liberating and developing social productive forces, liberating and enhancing social vitality, and strengthening top-level design and overall planning. Strengthen the systematicness, integrity and coordination of reform, stimulate people’s initiative, push forward the reform in important areas and key links, make Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system more mature and stereotyped, and continuously improve the modernization level of national governance system and governance capacity. Our Party unswervingly adheres to the guiding position of Marxism and the basic principles of scientific socialism, constantly promotes theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, cultural innovation and other aspects of innovation, constantly endows Socialism with Chinese characteristics with distinctive practical characteristics, theoretical characteristics, national characteristics and times characteristics, and demonstrates the strong vitality of scientific socialism with irrefutable facts.

  Reform and opening up have enabled the Chinese nation to stand in the east of the world with a brand-new attitude.

  After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, from rural areas to cities, from economic fields to other fields, the wave of reform is unstoppable; From the coast to the border along the Yangtze River, from the east to the central and western regions, the door to openness is gradually opened. By 2010, the world ranking of China’s total economic output has jumped from 11th in 1978 to 2nd, becoming the world’s largest manufacturing country and the world’s largest exporter of goods. At the same time, the internal and external environment of China’s development has undergone extensive and profound changes. The reform has entered a critical period and deep water area. The easy reform has been completed, and the rest are hard bones. The complexity, sensitivity and linkage of continuing to promote reform are unprecedented.

  In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has raised the flag, planned the layout of articles, comprehensively deepened the reform, made drastic efforts, overcome difficulties, and presented a situation of all-round efforts, multi-point breakthroughs, steady steps and in-depth advancement, which has solved many problems that have been tried for a long time but not solved, and has become many major events that were tried but not done in the past. A series of major reforms in the fields of economy, politics, culture, society, ecological civilization system and party building system have been solidly promoted, and various measures to facilitate the people, benefit the people and benefit the people have been continuously implemented, making reform and opening up the most remarkable feature and magnificent weather in contemporary China. The Resolution pointed out: "The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party is epoch-making, which has opened a new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. The Third Plenary Session of the 18 th CPC Central Committee is also epoch-making. The transformation of reform from partial exploration and breaking through the ice to system integration and comprehensive deepening has created a new situation in China’s reform and opening up. " In 2020, under the background of the COVID-19 epidemic and the deep recession of the global economy, China became the only major economy in the world that achieved positive economic growth, and its GDP exceeded 100 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world, accounting for 17.4% of the world.

  The reform and opening up has greatly changed the face of China, the face of the Chinese nation, the face of the people of China and the face of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has ushered in a great leap from establishment, development to perfection, China people have ushered in a great leap from insufficient food and clothing to a well-off society, and the Chinese nation is standing in the east of the world with a brand-new attitude. After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, comprehensive national strength and people’s living standards have jumped to a new level, explored a Chinese-style modernization road suitable for its national conditions, expanded the way for developing countries to modernize, and provided new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to accelerate their development and maintain their independence.

  Constantly push forward the comprehensive and deepening reform to March in breadth and depth.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Socialism with Chinese characteristics was born in the reform and opening up, and it will certainly grow and develop in the reform and opening up." The Resolution emphasizes "comprehensively deepening reform and opening up". On the new journey, we should constantly deepen our understanding of the regularity of reform and opening up, constantly push forward the comprehensive deepening of reform to March in breadth and depth, constantly realize the people’s longing for a better life, ensure the realization of the goal of the second century as scheduled, and constantly create new and greater miracles that will impress the world.

  Accurately grasp the direction, position and principles of reform and opening up. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Our reform and opening up has a direction, a position and principles." Over the past 40 years, reform and opening up have advanced in a complicated domestic and international environment. Because of the correct direction, scientific methods and proper control, reform and opening up have always been advancing along the right path. In the new journey, no matter what we change or what step we take, we must adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party, the overall goal of improving and developing the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and the people-centered value orientation.

  Adhere to the party’s leadership and respect the people’s initiative. The centralized and unified leadership of the party is the compass, the fixed disk star and the ballast stone to ensure the continuous progress of reform and opening up. The party’s ability and determination to set the direction, seek the overall situation, formulate policies and promote reform have ensured that the ship of reform and opening up has always sailed along the right course. Reform and opening up is the cause of hundreds of millions of people, and the people’s initiative provides a steady stream of wisdom and strength for reform and opening up. We should adhere to the combination of party leadership and respect for the people’s initiative, insist that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people, unite the wisdom and strength of the overwhelming majority of the people in the reform, and work with the people to push the reform forward.

  Adhere to the combination of crossing the river by feeling the stones and strengthening the top-level design. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Crossing the river by feeling the stones conforms to people’s understanding of objective laws and the dialectics of things from quantitative change to qualitative change." Touching the stone is to touch the law, which is a process of continuous accumulation of experiment, summary and promotion. In the new era, the relevance and interaction between the local and the overall situation of reform and opening up, the temporary solution and the root cause, and the gradual and breakthrough have been significantly enhanced, and the importance of top-level design and overall planning has been significantly enhanced. We should continue to stick to the combination of crossing the river by feeling the stones and strengthening the top-level design, promote the overall promotion and key breakthroughs, properly handle the relationship between top-level design and layered docking, do a good job in supporting the top, bottom, left and right, and all aspects, pay attention to the coordinated promotion of various reforms, make various reforms complement each other, have a "chemical reaction", and turn institutional advantages into governance efficiency.

  Adhere to the unity of problem orientation and goal orientation. Reform is forced by problems, and it is deepened by constantly solving problems. At the beginning of reform and opening-up, although we faced many difficulties and challenges, we were full of confidence in the future and planned a grand blueprint for building a socialist modern country in three steps. In the process of reform and opening up, we adhere to the unity of problem orientation and goal orientation, overcome the concept of opposing market and plan, and clarify the goal of establishing a socialist market economic system; Corrected the concept of conflict between economic development and environmental protection, and clarified Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept; Wait a minute. Practice has proved that adhering to the unity of problem orientation and goal orientation can effectively resolve the contradictions and problems encountered in progress and continuously achieve new achievements in reform and opening up.

  Coordinate development and security. Development and security are two wings of an organic whole and two wheels of driving. Security is the premise of development, and development is the guarantee of security. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has adhered to the overall concept of national security, adhered to the bottom line thinking, prepared for danger in times of peace, put national interests first, aimed at people’s safety, based on political security, based on economic security, guaranteed by military, scientific, technological, cultural and social security, supported by promoting international security, coordinated development and security, coordinated opening up and security, and coordinated traditional and non-traditional security. Facing the great struggle with many new historical characteristics, we must strengthen the spirit of struggle, improve our fighting skills, implement the leadership responsibility and work responsibility of preventing and defusing various risks, pay attention to preventing and defusing major risks that affect China’s modernization process, and provide a strong guarantee for the prosperity and long-term stability of the party and the country.

On-the-spot record of the advance detachment of the 18 th Army entering Tibet

In October 1950, Qamdo was liberated. In February 1951, the local government of Xizang sent Ngapoi Ngawangjigme to Beijing for peace talks, and signed the Agreement between the Central People’s Government and the local government of Xizang on the Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Xizang (the "Seventeen-Article Agreement") on May 23rd.

The Party Committee of the 18th Army, headed by the commander Zhang Guohua and the political commissar Tan Guansan, followed the instructions of the Southwest Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Southwest Military Region, and formed an advance detachment of more than 300 Tibetan and Han comrades, with Wang Qimei, deputy political commissar of the 18th Army, as commander and political commissar, Chen Jingbo as chief of staff, Gu Caoping as deputy chief of staff and Lin Liang as director of the political department. Ngapoi Ngawangjigme, chief representative of Xizang local government, and his wife Ngapoi Caidan Zhuoga are traveling with the advance detachment of Tibet. The tasks of the advance detachment in Tibet are: to take the lead and create conditions for the main force to enter Xizang; Publicize the party’s ethnic and religious policies in an exemplary manner, and publicize and implement the "17-Article Agreement" in an exemplary manner. The advance detachment of Tibet started from Qamdo on July 25, 1951 and arrived in Lhasa on September 9, which lasted more than 40 days and traveled more than 2,000 kilometers. The author also joined the advance detachment of Tibet with her husband Wang Qimei.

Before departure, all the officers and men of the advance detachment in Tibet carefully studied the "17-Article Agreement", the relevant instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Southwest Bureau and the political mobilization order for marching into Xizang jointly issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Southwest Bureau, Southwest Military Region and the Second Field Army Command. The mobilization order called for: "All commanders and combatants who marched into the army and all Communist party member should carry forward their infinite loyalty to the revolutionary cause, deeply understand the great political significance of marching into Xizang, make full preparations ideologically, organizationally and at work, carry forward the glorious tradition of the people’s army’s heroic and tenacious struggle, carry forward the spirit of class friendship of unity and mutual assistance, and resolutely complete the task of marching into Xizang."

From Qamdo to Lhasa, we have to cross the Hengduan Mountains, the Lancang River, the Nujiang River and other rivers. The roads we pass through are rugged, sparsely populated, ice and snow, and the air is thin. At that time, there was no detailed map of Xizang, and the road conditions were not clear, so the advance team in Tibet could only explore and move forward.

Here, only the fragments of the advance detachment entering Tibet passing through the "poor eight stops" are described:

From Changdu to Lhasa, Xizang local government has set up 24 post stations along the way. The masses call it "eight stops poor, eight stops rich, and eight stops neither poor nor rich". On August 13, 1951, the advance detachment of Tibet set out from Charansondo, arrived in Ojug, rested for two days, and then went on to enter the "poor eight stations". Because the conditions of the "poor eight stations" are extremely difficult, and there is a lack of food and grass, the command of the advance detachment into Tibet divides the troops into three echelons. About 55 kilometers from Arendo to Rendo, it is full of virgin forests and deep mountain canyons, and it has to go through a dangerous plank road. There are cliffs on one side, cliffs more than 20 feet deep on the other, and rushing rapids below. The road is only one or two feet wide. In many places, only a few pieces of wood are placed on the cliffs in mid-air, and each section is one or two feet long. Some plank roads are in disrepair, and the wood has rotted or loosened. There are also some slopes that are steep and steep, and the people in front of the troops are like walking on the heads of the people behind them. They walk and stand for a while and move very slowly.

On August 19th, the advance detachment of Tibet set out from Renduo and completely entered the area without firewood. At the foot of Nugongla Mountain, there is a place called Duodong. It is said that there used to be two or three families. For some reason, the houses were burned down and the residents moved into the deep mountains. Before the advance detachment arrived in Tibet, the local people heard that the People’s Liberation Army had implemented the "17-Article Agreement" and had to pass through here to March into Lhasa, and they all came back automatically. They and several families in nearby villages took the initiative to form a transport team, cut firewood from the mountains more than 70 miles away, and transported it to the roadside with yaks to support the PLA. When the advance detachment arrived in Tibet, it found firewood supported by the masses in the ruins, and everyone was deeply moved by the enthusiastic support of the Tibetan people.

On the 20th, the advance detachment of Tibet crossed Nugongla Mountain. This is a veritable rocky mountain, 5 kilometers up and 5 kilometers down, all of which are stone roads. Only the gurgling sound of running water in the mountains seems to be boiling, but there is no running water. People must be very careful when walking on the rugged rocky road. When the troops were approaching the top of the mountain, a soldier in his twenties suddenly fainted. He was short of breath, trembling all over, and his face was livid, while his gun, backpack and dry food bag were still on his back. When Comrade Wang Qimei learned about it, he immediately followed the cavalry to the scene of the accident, asked the guards to take down the soldier’s things as soon as possible, untied his neckline, helped him onto his horse, and sent him down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, there is still a long way to go from the campsite. Because there was no firewood in the campsite, everyone took a bundle of firewood supported by the masses when they passed the herdsmen’s tent in the Zhuka pasture, and then headed for the campsite. The climate on the plateau is really like a naughty child, moody. After a while, the scorching sun was on the head, and the sun made people dizzy; After a while, the rainstorm poured down, drenching people like a drowned rat. The troops were marching, and suddenly a strong wind came with dark clouds, and a hail hit everyone’s heads and bodies violently. People can’t walk, so they have to stand on the road, cover their heads with backpacks and firewood, and accept the relentless hail attack. About half an hour later, the hail passed and we continued to March. The troops camped in a meadow 2.5 kilometers west of Mozhuka. Comrades in each class perform their duties according to the specific division of labor before departure. Some set up tents, some cook in pots, and some release their horses in an orderly way. Leading comrades called the relevant personnel of the department, the government and the post-March to report the day’s March, sum up experience, and study and arrange the tasks for the next day. Unexpectedly, before the rice was cooked, the hail suddenly came again, and the wind roared, blowing the tent like a boat on a rough wave, swaying. If the iron piles were not firmly laid and the ropes were strong, the tent might be blown away. Hail rattled the grass, tents and iron pots, as if playing a large symphony. That night, the wind blew out the lights in the tent, and the hail put out the fire under the cooker. A pot of uncooked rice was soaked in hail and rain. A thick layer of hail on the ground filled up the drainage ditch dug around the tent. After a day of marching,极为疲劳和饥饿,但因为冰雹、狂风捣乱,结果连热饭也没吃成,仅吃了几口糌粑,就摸黑睡觉了。

进藏先遣支队经过艰难的行程,于1951年9月5日到达拉萨东郊的达孜。其时,张经武同志作为中央人民政府和毛主席的代表,绕道印度,已先于我们到达拉萨。张代表派乐于泓和李天柱同志前来看望进藏先遣支队。

9月9日,进藏先遣支队进入拉萨并举行了隆重的入城仪式。全体指战员身着草绿色呢子军服,排成长队,几名年轻的战士抬着毛主席、朱总司令的画像走在队伍前列,继而是军乐队和腰鼓队。拉萨主要街道上红旗飘扬,军乐齐鸣,进藏先遣支队的指战员们个个精神焕发,队列整齐,气势雄壮。西藏地方政府搭起彩色帐篷,并派西藏地方政府和谈代表成员凯墨·索南旺堆、柳霞·土登塔巴率文武官员、僧俗各界代表前来欢迎。僧俗藏胞身穿节日盛装,倾城而出,古城拉萨呈现出一片欢乐景象。进藏先遣支队领导人和噶厦的主要官员互献哈达。王其梅等先遣支队领导按照西藏的民族风俗,到各大寺庙发放布施,拜会达赖喇嘛和寺庙僧侣、政府官员等各界知名人士。西藏上层爱国人士也行回拜和宴请。

On October 26th, 1951, the commander of Zhang Guohua and the political commissar of Tan Guansan led the main force of the 18th Army to Lhasa, which opened a new chapter in Tibetan history.

(Wang Xianmei was born in Xiaoxian County, Anhui Province in 1924. He joined the revolution in March 1938 and the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the same year. He used to be the director of the office of the Bureau of Retired Veteran Cadres of the Ministry of Light Industry. Died in 2009)
