  [Endeavour, New Journey, New Era, Extraordinary Decade]

  [Leap]

  Guangming Daily reporter Li Hui Shang Jie Zhao Mingxi Wang Yizhen

  "It’s so beautiful here. It’s picturesque and tree-lined, and the Gobi Pearl is even more dazzling." In midsummer, tourist Zhang Haiying stood in the landmark building of Shihezi City, the eighth division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps — — In front of the Army Reclamation Museum of Xinjiang Corps, it was deeply attracted by the beautiful city in front of it. Generations of bingtuan people took root in this hot land, created the miracle of transforming wasteland into homeland, and wrote a magnificent chapter of new China’s reclamation and frontier defense.

  In the past ten years, the sons and daughters of the Corps have accelerated the reform, deepened the integration of the military and the land, created a harmonious rural-urban home, and given full play to the functions and functions of the Corps as a stabilizer for securing the border and consolidating the border, a melting pot for rallying people of all ethnic groups, and a demonstration zone for developing advanced productive forces and advanced culture, striving to form new advantages in maintaining stability and guarding the border in the new era.

  1. Agricultural production polishes business cards

  In the hot summer, 12.35 million mu of cotton from the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has entered the critical flowering and bolling period, and the cotton peaches have exposed sharp corners.

  Xie Yong, a technician, took a closer look at the growth of cotton in the 143 rd regiment of the eighth division of the Corps. "This is a new variety Xinluzao No.84 planted this year. It is not tall. The number of seedlings per mu is 14,000, which is nearly 1,000 more than last year. The buds and bolls in cotton fields are all 10 days earlier than last year, and the yield per mu is expected to exceed 500 kg."

  Since 1980s, cotton has become the dominant industry of XPCC. The Corps gave full play to the advantages of high mechanization, large-scale production and good industrial operation conditions, and pioneered the cotton "dense short early" mechanical harvesting mode, drip irrigation under plastic film, water and fertilizer integration technology and precision on-demand technology on plastic film, which promoted the continuous improvement of cotton yield.

  In 2021, the lint yield of the Corps reached 160 kg, ranking first in the country; Among the six quality indexes of cotton, the average length and micronaire are the first in China. Corps has produced more than one-third of the country’s cotton with a quarter of the country’s planting area, making the cry "China cotton sees Xinjiang, Xinjiang cotton sees Corps" even louder.

  Not just cotton. As the "national team" in the agricultural field and the demonstration area of advanced productive forces, the Corps has also "led" all the way in accelerating the construction of a modern agricultural system: the comprehensive mechanization rate of tillage, planting and harvesting reached 95.3%, ranking the leading level in the country; A total of 11.63 million mu of high-standard farmland has been built, which has achieved good social and economic benefits; There are 135 key leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization at the national level and the Corps level, and two national industrial clusters with advantages and characteristics have been created, and the driving effect has been continuously highlighted.

  "We will further give play to the organizational advantages and mobilization ability of the Corps, deepen the structural reform of the agricultural supply side, accelerate the construction of a modern agricultural system, and play a good role in safeguarding national food security ‘ Ballast stone ’ The role. " Chen Qian, deputy director of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of the Corps, said.

  2. Reform makes development even more powerful.

  Under the impact of the epidemic, a hotel catering enterprise rose against the trend and handed over a bright report card. What is the password behind it? Reform.

  In 2017, taking advantage of the spring breeze of reform, Bosten Group became the first wholly state-owned hotel catering enterprise in the Second Division of Corps. With Bosten Hotel as the backbone, the enterprise integrates the assets of hotels in Urumqi, Korla, Tiemenguan and other cities to form a group company, keeps up with the change of consumer demand, promotes the transformation of its main business from hotel catering to social catering, and expands 12 canteens and social catering outlets of various units, schools and hospitals, with an average daily catering service of more than 10,000 people. In 2021, the operating income was 103 million yuan, an increase of 58% over the previous year.

  In 2020, the Corps launched a three-year campaign to reform state-owned enterprises, which sounded the assembly number for deepening the reform of state-owned state-owned enterprises. In view of the long-standing problems of separating government from enterprises, rigid mechanism, low efficiency and insufficient vitality, we should boldly change and try. In particular, the Corps has integrated high-quality resources to promote the professional reorganization of state-owned capital. Electric Power Group, Sino-Singapore Populus euphratica Fund, Energy Group, Wenlv Group and Sino-Singapore Logistics Group have been established and put into operation, and leading enterprises have driven state-owned state-owned enterprises to "hold their fingers into fists".

  Breakthrough progress has been made in the comprehensive reform of the league farm. Since 2017, the Corps has started the comprehensive reform of the league field in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee. In the past five years, we have crossed the deep water area and gnawed hard bones, and the system and mechanism of the group farm have been systematically and revolutionized. Up to now, the Corps has authorized 75 township-level powers to the regimental farms, and selected 68 county-level powers to be granted to the regimental farms by divisions and cities according to actual needs, and 149 regimental farms have achieved full coverage of convenience service centers.

  At the same time, the Corps issued certificates for workers’ right to contract land, canceled the "five unifications" of agriculture led by the administration, implemented the autonomy of workers’ contracted production and operation, and liberated and developed agricultural productivity. In 2021, the company’s average front-line job income increased by 41,500 yuan, an increase of 99.6%, compared with 2016 before the reform, and the enthusiasm of the workers and staff to participate in, support and support the reform was significantly improved. The number of front-line workers in agriculture and animal husbandry rose steadily, with a net increase of 96,000 after the reform.

  Reform is like a tide, and the waves behind push the waves before. In the past, XPCC continued to grow and develop by relying on reform, and entered a new stage of development. XPCC will continue to enhance the systematicness, integrity and synergy of reform, and constantly enhance the dynamic vitality of XPCC’s high-quality development.

  3. A new chapter of the military-civilian integration spectrum

  Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced that 12 scenic spots have been designated as national 5A-level scenic spots, among which Jiangbulak Scenic Spot in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture is on the list.

  This scenic spot is an innovative tourism demonstration scenic spot with the integration of military and land, which is based on Jiangbulake Scenic Spot in Changji Prefecture and Wanquan Scenic Spot in Qitai Farm of Sixth Division. Among them, the core area of Jiangbulake Scenic Area is 104 square kilometers, and the planned area of Wanquan Scenic Area is 21.5 square kilometers. Both of them were awarded the national 4A-level tourist attractions in 2012 and 2011 respectively. After the integration and development, the two sides complemented each other and greatly increased their strength, and successfully advanced to "5A".

  It has become the consensus of the autonomous region and the Corps that a game of chess between soldiers and land is the overall situation and the general trend. In accordance with the requirements of "co-construction of facilities, resource sharing, deep embedding and complementary advantages", the military and the local governments have comprehensively promoted the integrated development of economic, social, cultural and ecological civilization construction, national unity and progress, and cadres and talents.

  Manas County and Shihezi City are 15 kilometers apart, and the two places are interconnected in transportation, education and medical care, sharing the fruits of integrated development. In October 2020, Shima Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and the two cities were connected in a straight line, which continued to promote the integration and development of industries such as health care, tourism, culture and logistics. Shima Bridge really became a convenient bridge to promote urban interconnection and boost the development of industrial connectivity.

  Zhundong Corps Industrial Park, Wuchangshi National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, Tianbei New District and other military-land joint construction parks realize complementary advantages and rapid development; The military and local schools "hand in hand" paired up to help, and the Corps School recruited more than 90,000 local students nearby and sent 7,600 people to teach in kindergartens in southern Xinjiang; The joint construction of medical associations, specialist alliances and designated medical institutions by the military and the local government has recognized each other’s results, promoted the open sharing of quality education and medical resources, and enabled workers of all ethnic groups to share the dividends brought about by the integration and development, and their sense of acquisition, happiness and security has been continuously enhanced.

  The wind sails all over the river and the sky is wide, and then step on the peak to start a new journey. Standing at a new historical starting point, XPCC has always served the general goal of Xinjiang’s work, unswervingly fulfilled its duty and mission of maintaining stability and guarding the border, persistently promoted the modernization of XPCC with high quality, and continued to write a new chapter in its development in the new journey.

Generative AI ushered in a singular moment or formed two trillion markets.

Our reporter Qin Xiao reports from Beijing.

Generative AI technology, represented by big model, has become the most important technological singularity to detonate digital nativity. Gartner predicts that by 2026, more than 80% enterprises will use API or model of generative AI, or deploy applications supporting generative AI in production environment, which will also bring great opportunities and challenges to industrial development.

The traditional technical system, organizational structure, business model and industrial form have been reconstructed rapidly, and the integration of data and reality has entered a deeper and broader new stage. Guo Wei, chairman and CEO of Digital China, told China Business News that this is a great opportunity and a challenge for us. Grasping it is an opportunity for development; If we can’t catch it, we will miss a major development period. In the next ten years, all enterprises will make full use of three primitives (cloud primitive, digital primitive and AI primitive) to subvert their business, construct their second and third growth curves, rewrite their business, and realize the leap-forward growth of enterprises in the digital age.

Two trillion-dollar markets

Since the beginning of this year, general artificial intelligence, represented by cognitive big model, has triggered a craze around the world. OpenAI, Microsoft, Google and other international companies are constantly overweight, and there is a "thousand-model war" in China, and many high-tech companies are competing to invest in research and development. According to the "Research Report on China Artificial Intelligence Large Model Map" published by the Ministry of Science and Technology, among the published large models in the world, China and the United States are far ahead, accounting for more than 80% of the global total.

At the same time, the big model is also regarded as a new engine to promote enterprise transformation. A few days ago, the report "The Economic Potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence: The Next Wave of Productivity" released by McKinsey shows that if the 63 kinds of generative AI analyzed are applied to all walks of life, it will bring 2.6 trillion to 4.4 trillion dollars to the global economy every year. Growth. This forecast has not counted all the applications of generative AI. If the applications that have not been studied are counted, the economic impact of generative AI may double.

Guo Wei said that this is a great change in human economic life and social life. The rise of today’s big model is actually to transform the small business model and digital module that were established manually in the past into the Transformer model through training. In the case that natural language is universally understood, the automatic generation process of data or knowledge is realized through generative AI, which accelerates the flywheel of data generation. In the past, new knowledge and data were generated by system data and alternative data processing, but today we automatically generate new data and knowledge through large models, making the generation of data assets become a perpetual motion machine driven by AI.

Specifically, all parties in the industry generally believe that the demand-side generative AI market is about to explode, and it may even form two trillion-dollar markets, C-end and B-end, in the future. At present, the demand of enterprises for generative AI is growing rapidly, and the general model will inevitably change the traditional AI market, and the improvement of productivity will also greatly promote industrial development.

Li Hui, technical director of 360 Intelligent Products Department, said that the big model market is an unprecedented and revolutionary market, which will be ten times the increment of the current Internet and will definitely reach the trillion level. Because with the development of 5G, the ecological content of the mobile Internet has exploded by leaps and bounds. In the field of AI generation, it will contribute to the outbreak, which will inevitably bring more explosive demand growth points to the market. At the same time, it will bring new changes to the traditional AI market, and it will be an alternative and updated process. With the further improvement of computing power in 2026, especially the further upgrading of domestic computing power, the influence and market scale of generative AI will be further expanded.

Zhang Lei, general manager of Chery Automobile Jinke Innovation Center, believes that it is possible to reach two trillion-dollar markets: first, To C-end, consumer-grade, and now it is in an explosive period. The second is the To B field. These two different fields are completely different in application scenarios, customer needs and customer industrial chain forms. It is predicted that these two fields will reach trillion-dollar markets in the future.

How to get to the "last mile"

Although the trillion-dollar market in the future is very attractive, in the process of the concrete landing of the large model, most manufacturers indicated that besides the technical landing perspective, the customer scenario needs are also the core of current concern, but in reality, there are still problems such as data acquisition and data governance. Although the Q&A interactive scene with rich corpus landed quickly, there are still great challenges in the actual enterprise-level commercial application, calling for ecological breakthrough. Or in this era of "Hundred Mode Wars" or even "Thousand Mode Wars", how to transform technology into real productive forces, break the game with the power of ecology, and accelerate the landing of generative AI at the enterprise level is the key.

Shi Jianhua, chief digital officer of Tasly Holding Group, admits that users don’t need big models, what they need is to solve problems. Now, some have made big models, some claim to be big models, and some have not. In the end, only a few giants will win, and there cannot be too many big model manufacturers. Everyone will think that AI is the future, the big model is the infrastructure, and what everyone has to do is to embrace and integrate. The most important thing for an enterprise is to find the matching user requirements, and to define them well is the key.

"Generative AI technology has a series of challenges to be solved in the enterprise scene. The last mile is not the last square kilometer. " Li Gang, vice president and CTO of Digital China, said, "In the closed-door communication with customers, customers said that some application developers said that they specialize in the last mile of large-scale model enterprises. Customers complain that it looks like the last kilometer, but it’s more than one kilometer to walk. Another customer said that you made a mistake with the company. He said that the distance between the big model and the enterprise application should not be measured in kilometers, but should be one square kilometer instead of one kilometer, that is, the landing of the big model enterprise needs more preparations. It is not a linear process, it is a comprehensive process. "

Li Gang emphasized that enterprises really need a relatively complete generative AI innovative application platform, which is capable of rapidly deploying computing power, preparing data, managing scenario applications and life cycle, and can also produce high-value and low-tech cost effects through continuous iteration, and can arrange and manage the knowledge, collaboration, architecture and roles related to the application of large models in enterprises, so as to truly fill a square kilometer between the so-called generative AI large model itself and enterprise scenario applications.

Based on this, Digital China released the platform of asking for learning in China, "White Paper on Application and Landing Technology of Generative AI Enterprises", and launched the "Ask for Learning and Co-create Plan".

It is worth noting that, unlike the AI big model, Shenzhou Wenxue is positioned as a one-stop enterprise-level big model integration platform, which helps enterprises to accelerate the innovation of generative AI, reduce the development threshold and landing cost of AI applications, and enable enterprises to combine their business needs with big model technology more quickly to realize the intelligence of business processes.

Li Gang introduced: "With the platform of learning in China as the core, we don’t make the basic big model, but make the integration and application development delivery platform of the big model, thus accelerating enterprise AI innovation; We become a service partner of big data, thus accelerating the upgrade of enterprise data governance; We do ecological ties, model markets, data marts and application stores, thus accelerating industrial innovation and ecological destruction. "

Why did you disappear? Jianbao program was once a smash hit, but now it is no longer beautiful.

The previously popular Jianbao program became popular on the screen that year. However, some programs pay too much attention to the economic value of cultural relics and promote the wrong concept of investment and collection, which leads to excessive entertainment.

In 2012, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and National Cultural Heritage Administration issued a notice on further strengthening the standardization and management of cultural relics identification radio and television programs, requiring radio and television institutions at all levels to conduct a comprehensive inspection in accordance with the provisions of the notice.

The notice requires that the contents of radio and television programs for cultural relics identification must comply with the provisions of the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Cultural Relics and related laws and regulations. The cultural relics used for identification in the program must be those collected by cultural relics collection units and obtained by citizens, legal persons and other organizations in a legal way; Cultural relics appearing in the program for identification must be cultural relics allowed to be bought and sold by law; Radio and television programs of cultural relics identification shall not engage in commercial activities of cultural relics, and shall not use radio and television programs of cultural relics identification to carry out commercial activities of cultural relics such as simulated trading and advertising.

Wandering stars

Radio and television programs for cultural relics identification should be true in content. It is not allowed to fabricate stories about cultural relics, induce "treasure holders" to fabricate false collection stories, or to play "treasure holders" by actors in the program, or to suggest or ask experts to modify the evaluation results of cultural relics or overestimate the market price of cultural relics. Program production institutions should review the identity information of cultural relics holders and guests appearing in the program in advance to ensure the authenticity of relevant information displayed in the program.

On the other hand, the rise of online live broadcast of treasures not only satisfies the public’s curiosity about cultural relics knowledge and collection culture, but also exposes the weak links of industry supervision. Jianbao anchor judges the authenticity of cultural relics only by video images, and its professionalism and rigor have been questioned.

In April 2024, the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Online Auction Norms has clearly pointed out that platform autonomy and industry self-discipline are indispensable to strengthen the supervision and enforcement of online auction activities.

Wandering stars

The live broadcast of Jianbao should also strictly implement relevant laws and regulations to ensure the transparency and fairness of the appraisal process and avoid misleading consumers and even becoming a hotbed of illegal cultural relics trading. The platform party shall strengthen the audit mechanism, and take measures such as taking off the shelves and banning the anchors and affiliated stores that do not have professional qualifications and have false appraisal behaviors according to law.

"Negotiation Expert" fixed file 6.8 Liu Qingyun Wu Zhenyu master fight "mouth"


1905 movie network news A few days ago, the movie "Negotiation Expert" released a preview and poster, announcing that it will be released on June 8. The film is produced by supervisors, screenwriters, directors, and lead actors. The sharp language exchange in the preview shows a fresh temperament that is very different from previous Hong Kong films. When the negotiation expert Zhuo Wenwei (Liu Qingyun, played) becomes a kidnapper, but asks to talk only to Xie Jiajun (Wu Zhenyu, played), what kind of story has happened between the two, and who will win the negotiation between the two? How will this kidnapping case end?

Click to watch the movie "Negotiator" Cantonese version preview


Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu "mouth cannon" war, strong dialogue points full


The plot design is full of mysteries in the preview, and the tense and exciting language exchange reveals the wonderful points of the negotiation expert’s profession of "using language as a weapon". Liu Qingyun, who plays the negotiation expert, unexpectedly becomes a kidnapper, boldly takes hostages in the police station, and "teaches" the negotiation expert sent by the police to collapse in a few words, until Xie Jiajun, named by Zhuo Wenwei, appears, and he quickly changes the situation with ease. In the poster, the two negotiation experts are wearing body armor and make "one" and "two" gestures respectively, and their unyielding expressions seem to foreshadow their anxious negotiations.


The negotiations in the play are tense, but Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu outside the play are old friends with 40 years of friendship. The movie "Negotiation Expert" is a collaboration between the two after a lapse of 19 years, and the rare fresh match makes this double-strong negotiation more interesting. The two are not enemies or friends in the film, but the antagonistic play with great tension can’t help but make people look forward to it. In addition, the film has also made great efforts in the national distribution. Tan Wanghong, who dubs Liu Qingyun in the film in Mandarin, has previously done the national distribution for Liu Qingyun, who also plays the negotiating expert in "Dark War". Wu Zhenyu’s Mandarin dubbing Zhang Yi is also dubbed in many classic Hong Kong dramas such as "Founding Era". The two take the audience back to pure classic memories with full "Hong Kong flavor".


Qiu Litao shoots again, experts present different Hong Kong films, literary and opera confrontations, and IQ upgrades


Director Qiu Litao, who has always been good at presenting special occupations, this time focuses on negotiation experts. As a special group in the police profession, few main creators have brought their stories to the big screen before. The movie "Negotiation Expert" through the careful design of the literary drama, makes the collision of language and thought of the two negotiation masters splash everywhere, and the same sense of urgency is full. The negotiation scene of the war of words and words is no less tense than the big scene action drama. In the director’s opinion, "This time it is a different police and gangster movie. Negotiation experts are a profession that has almost never been presented in Chinese movies." This Hong Kong film can be said to have undergone a great upgrade in IQ, and it will definitely show the effect that will make the audience’s eyes shine.


Liu Qingyun said that "Negotiation Expert" is a "very dramatic, very anti-climax, and very good-looking script." As the preview shows, Liu Qingyun’s negotiation expert has become a kidnapper, and his desperate reasons are intriguing, and it is also tempting to explore the follow-up plot direction. It is also necessary to rush to the front line of the crime scene. Negotiation expert is a position that needs to face the suspect directly. This time, it is more a test of courage, emotional intelligence, patience and other qualities.


The movie "Negotiator" will be released nationwide on June 8, see you at the Dragon Boat Festival!

And the emergence of Sora

In the eyes of some insiders,

The realization of AGI will be shortened from 10 years to 1 year.

While marveling at the exponential evolution of AI

We still have to ask ourselves a question.

Generative or universal artificial intelligence

What does it mean for each of us?

What is the technical ethics behind it?

Is it possible that mankind will be destroyed by this?

Our own children.

As Kant said,

There are two things that I think more about.

The more awe I feel.

They are the starry sky overhead.

And the moral law in my heart

Facing the change of artificial intelligence

We should maintain great awe of technology and starry sky.

At the same time, we must firmly believe in human morality.

Reporting/feedback

Behind-the-scenes story of Lei Jun donating 1.3 billion yuan to his alma mater.

  On the morning of November 29th, shortly before the opening ceremony of the grand celebration of the 130th anniversary of Wuhan University, a simple donation signing ceremony was quietly held in a small conference room in the administrative building of the university.

  Lei Jun, an alumnus of the Computer Department of Wuhan University in 1987 and founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, donated 1.3 billion yuan to his alma mater. This donation has set a new record for the largest single donation since the establishment of Wuhan University, and it is also the largest personal cash donation received by alumni in universities across the country. This triggered a hot discussion about "other people’s alumni" on the Internet.

  As an outstanding alumnus of Wuhan University, Lei Jun’s story of studying and starting a business has always been talked about by Wuhan University students. During his study at Wu Da University, Lei Jun completed all the credits required for four years in the university in just two years. Shortly after graduation, he joined Beijing Jinshan Software Co., Ltd. and led the company to grow and develop. In April 2010, Lei Jun founded Xiaomi Company, and now Xiaomi is the top three smartphone manufacturers in the world.

  Lei Jun has said more than once that Luojiashan is the place where dreams are started, and the professional knowledge and learning ability he learned at Wuhan University have laid a good foundation for his later entrepreneurship. In order to be grateful and give back to his alma mater, in 1997, just six years after graduation, Lei Jun began to donate to his alma mater and set up a "Tengfei Scholarship" at Wuhan University.

  Since then, Lei Jun has donated a number of donation projects to his alma mater, including the establishment of the "Lei Jun Scholarship" and "Lei Jun Science and Technology Building" of Wuhan University, with a total amount of 130 million yuan. On October 20, 2016, Lei Jun donated money to support Wuhan University to build an artificial intelligence teaching and research building.

  At the 9th Alumni Forum of Wuhan University that afternoon, Lei Jun told his schoolmates the behind-the-scenes story of donating 1.3 billion yuan to his alma mater.

  "I have always had an unforgettable love for my alma mater. The small achievements I made today are inseparable from the cultivation of my alma mater." Lei Jun said that it was Wu Da who shaped him, let him find his dream, learned the method of learning, and gave him the most precious wealth in his life.

  Lei Jun is especially grateful to his alma mater for his tolerance. He has always encouraged students to explore and innovate in technology. Coupled with the free and relaxed environment and laboratory conditions, he has the courage to set no limits.

  Lei Jun comes from an ordinary family in Xiantao, Hubei. More than 30 years ago, when he was studying at Wuhan University, he studied hard and supported himself by scholarships. He once won the highest scholarship set up by an entrepreneur at school — — 2000 yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of ordinary people for several years at that time. He silently vowed in his heart that "it will be returned ten times, one hundred times and ten thousand times in the future."

  Lei Jun also had a wish. Because at that time, the best teaching building in Wuhan University — — I feel very happy in class in Shaw Building, so he made a wish to donate a building to Wu Da. Now, these two wishes have come true.

  Lei Jun said that in the eyes of him and many alumni, Wu Da is the best university in the world. In order to make Wu Da better and better, everyone can give back to his alma mater with practical actions. In particular, he said that he never advocated comparing donations. Many alumni actively donated money to celebrate the 130th anniversary of Wu Da University. Every donation is the love of alumni for their alma mater, and the weight is the same.

  According to reports, Lei Jun’s donation mainly focuses on three directions: supporting the basic research of six disciplines of mathematics, physics, literature, history and philosophy, supporting scientific and technological innovation in the computer field, and supporting the cultivation of college students.

[Local evaluation line] Give full play to the role of cross-border e-commerce in stabilizing foreign trade and promoting consumption

On May 6th, the State Council issued the Reply on Agreeing to Establish cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone in 46 cities and regions such as xiong’an new area, and agreed to establish cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone in 46 cities and regions such as xiong’an new area, Datong, Manzhouli, Yingkou, Panjin, Jilin, Heihe, Changzhou and Lianyungang. Together with the 59 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zones that have been approved before, there are 105 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zones in China, covering 30 provinces, autonomous regions and cities, forming a development pattern of land and sea linkage and two-way mutual assistance between the east and the west.

The establishment of a cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zone is a powerful move to cope with the impact of the epidemic, stabilize the basic foreign trade and promote the recovery of consumption. Since the beginning of this year, traditional foreign trade methods have been greatly affected by the epidemic, but cross-border e-commerce has released great potential. Under the special background, China’s vigorous development of cross-border e-commerce will not only help to alleviate the impact of the epidemic and boost domestic consumption, but also reflect China’s confidence and determination to unswervingly expand opening up and stabilize foreign trade.

Vigorously developing cross-border e-commerce is a "shock absorber" to deal with the epidemic. Cross-border e-commerce promotes the disintermediation of international trade, which makes China manufacturing directly face foreign end consumers and provides channels for small and medium-sized enterprises and individuals to participate in international trade. After the outbreak, traditional foreign trade methods were greatly affected, but cross-border e-commerce grew against the trend. During the epidemic, cross-border e-commerce achieved efficient and rapid global supply and demand matching, and improved the global supply chain centralized purchasing capacity of China’s foreign trade. In the first two months of this year, the import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce retail in China was 17.4 billion yuan, up 36.7% year-on-year. For example, the "Chifeng Global Purchase" APP is sought after by 4.35 million Chifeng citizens, and it has become a new fashion for local people to consult and purchase epidemic prevention products online. The addition of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zone in China this time has provided a policy dividend for the development of cross-border e-commerce, which can greatly promote the cross-border e-commerce industry to restore its blood transfusion function, help to offset the impact of the epidemic on traditional foreign trade, and also help to more accurately support the foreign trade industry to resume production and normal trade, support enterprises to ease difficulties, dredge the industrial chain and supply chain, and play a good role as a "shock absorber". At the same time, the pilot cities and regions will also promote the improvement of the overall environment of cross-border trade in China by adopting policies first.

Vigorously developing cross-border e-commerce is a "strong shot" to stabilize foreign trade. After the outbreak of COVID-19, cross-border e-commerce has played an important role in stabilizing foreign trade, stabilizing enterprises and promoting digital transformation. Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, global economic activities are facing great uncertainty, especially the pressure on foreign trade. Under this circumstance, some enterprises in China began to export from offline to online, engaged in cross-border e-commerce exports in succession, actively sought new corporate customers, effectively opened up new businesses and markets, and made up for the adverse impact of the epidemic on the traditional trade model, which became a new kinetic energy to promote the growth of China’s foreign trade. At present, the traditional foreign trade is still severely impacted by the epidemic. It is necessary to further develop the unique advantages of cross-border e-commerce, carry out online marketing, realize online transactions, guarantee orders, markets and shares, and help foreign trade overcome difficulties with new formats and new models. The state’s policy of setting up a comprehensive pilot zone for cross-border e-commerce will help popularize mature practices and policy systems, improve the comprehensive service platform, help the foreign trade industry overcome difficulties and speed up the pace of China’s foreign trade transformation and upgrading, which is not only a powerful move to stabilize the basic foreign trade and build a global supply chain, but also a "strong shot" for cross-border e-commerce platforms and businesses.

Vigorously developing cross-border e-commerce is a "catalyst" for consumption recovery. Cross-border e-commerce is not only a new format to promote China’s foreign trade export, but also a new channel to meet the consumption upgrading of domestic residents. With the improvement of income level and quality of life, the pace of upgrading the consumption structure of China residents has accelerated, and the behaviors of buying imported goods and spending overseas have gradually increased, and cross-border e-commerce has become an important channel for international consumption. After the outbreak, cross-border e-commerce compressed many intermediate links of traditional trade agency, and diversified and personalized demands of consumers gathered through the cross-border e-commerce platform, which increased consumers’ sense of acquisition, greatly stimulated their desire to buy, effectively resisted the impact of the epidemic, boosted consumption recovery and promoted steady economic recovery. With the deepening of epidemic prevention and control, the role of cross-border e-commerce in promoting the docking of supply and demand has become increasingly prominent. On the one hand, the consumption of big data makes the supply side better understand the needs of consumers, which will enable enterprises to enhance market sensitivity and produce marketable products; On the other hand, the expansion of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zone will drive more foreign trade market players to pay attention to the domestic market, and further release the potential of the consumer market by introducing more abundant and diverse overseas high-quality goods, thus driving the economic recovery into the "fast lane".

The development of cross-border e-commerce conforms to the wave of economic globalization and is inevitably impacted by the global epidemic. However, with the support of national policies, the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zones around the country will be able to take the initiative to promote the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade, turn short-term crises into long-term opportunities, and inject strong impetus into the stable and high-quality development of China’s foreign trade.

The place with the highest density of Sichuan cuisine chefs is delicious.

When Leshan, the "happy hometown of Sichuanese", has become a city in online celebrity, Sichuanese have already quietly avoided the crowd and happily moved to the city next door to Leshan.

Sandwiched between Leshan and Chengdu, it has contracted the world’s largest kimchi production base and is also the first city of Sichuan cuisine in China.

But what is more well known here is Su Shi’s hometown as a "gourmet KOL".

It is Meishan.

If Leshan makes you happy and forget to return, then when you arrive at Meishan, the unique aura of mountains and rivers is so good that you can smile. It is the back garden that Sichuanese want to hide most.

△ Meishan, a low-key food town. /vision china

The most aura city in Sichuan.

Su Shi has touched its light.

People often use "eyes like eyes, eyebrows like spring mountains" to describe beauty, and it is not an exaggeration to use it to describe Meishan. The city of Meishan, just the place name, has made people think.

Some people say that it is named after Emei Mountain; It is also said that Chengdu, a land of abundance, is proud of Meishan and lives in the south. The mountain shape here is ups and downs, and it looks like a clear eyebrow from afar, hence the name "Meishan"; Others said that it originated from Su Dongpo. It is said that some people saw his eyebrows as hills, which is in harmony with the sky, so they suggested that the county magistrate be renamed "Meishan".

Either way, Meishan is naturally endowed with poetic aura.

△ The aura of Meishan is leisurely and visible. /tuchong creativity

It is said that the "Dongpo flavor" of this city is very strong, and it seems that traces of Dongpo can be seen everywhere in Meishan.

The central city of Meishan is called Dongpo District. Sansu Temple and Sansu Museum named after Dongpo are the city landmarks of Meishan. Visit a park and you can also see Sumu Park, Su Xun Park and Su Causeway Park. Walking down the street, you can also see Sansu Avenue, Dongpo Avenue, Dongpo Bamboo Garden, Dongpo Primary School, Qingying Road, which is named after Sansu or his poems, and Xizi Street, which wants to compare the West Lake to the West.

△ Meishan is full of "Dongpo flavor". /vision china

It seems that Su Dongpo is the largest IP in Meishan, which has injected an open-minded and rich soul of literati into the city, but if you know Meishan, you will find that it is the natural aura of the city that gave birth to such a first romantic figure.

This place has been a famous "hometown of scholars" since the Song Dynasty. Lu You once praised Meishan: "It is a wonderful place to be pregnant and beautiful, and it is a city of poetry and books for thousands of years."

The aura of Meishan is hidden in the "bamboo" that can be seen everywhere in this city.

Qingshen County, Meishan City is known as the "hometown of bamboo weaving art in China". Whenever it comes, Meishan City is full of lush city and green pine and bamboo. For example, Sansu Temple, a landmark in the city, is a garden pattern of "two branches of bamboo and three branches of water". The most unique style in the temple is bamboo, with vast lakes and ponds, bamboo trees, towering trees and pavilions.

Bamboo nurtures people’s spirit. Dongpo has a famous saying: "It is better to eat without meat than to live without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. " Bamboo forest endows Sansu Temple with ethereal and distant artistic conception, and also reflects the spirituality of Meishan.

△ "Bamboo" is the soul of Meishan. /vision china

"Wawu is cold and snowy after spring, and Emei is green and rainy." Su Shi praised the two sacred mountains in his heart-Emei Mountain and Wawu Mountain.

Because of the administrative division, Emei Mountain was assigned to Leshan City, but in Hongya County of Meishan City, Wawu Mountain, which is also known as "the second best in Sichuan" with Emei Mountain, is also located. Although it is not as famous as Mount Emei, Wawu Mountain has more immortal and independent spirits.

△ "Asia’s first table mountain" Wawushan. /vision china

It is the second largest flat-topped table mountain in the world, and it is rectangular from any angle, like a tiled roof, so it enjoys the reputation of "the first table mountain in Asia" and "the dining table of God".

Here all the year round is in response to God’s care: you can enjoy the azalea sea in spring, the majestic waterfalls in summer, the red leaves in autumn, and the snow fairy tale in winter.

△ Wawushan magnificent waterfall. /vision china

In Hongya County, there is also a secret place forgotten by time. Many people call it "Little Cambodia" in Sichuan, and it is Caoyu Beach.

When you come to the upper reaches of Qingyi River, you can see the Alsophila spinulosa Gorge, which stretches for 6 kilometers. The peaks in the gorge turn back to the water, and the green Alsophila spinulosa trees are all over Shan Ye, reflecting on the green water. In the jungle, there is a pagoda forest dug and built with natural rocks, and 108 pagodas constitute the ancient and quiet "Thousand Pagodas Buddha Country".

△ Caoyu Beach, Sichuan "Little Kampuchea". /tuchong creativity

The ancient meaning of Meishan does not stop there. If the same ancient town makes you a little bored, Liujiang ancient town in Meishan may be an exception. Backed by Emei Mountain, Wawu Mountain, Houjiashan Mountain and Yuping Mountain, Yangcun River and Huaxi River pass through the town, and the geography with one side backed by mountains and three sides surrounded by water adds charm to it.

This is an ancient town with a history of more than 800 years. The Diaojiao Building in western Sichuan, Zengjiayuan, an ancient plank road close to the river, a century-old residential street, Guanyin, the world’s largest sleeping goddess, and 108 thousand-year-old trees all make the story of Liujiang ancient town rich. It is no wonder that film and television dramas such as "Heroes Who Are Unknown" and "Plot Against" all use it as a shooting location.

When night falls, if it happens to be drizzling, listening to the rain in the dim lights of the ancient town and living with water on your pillow, you may be able to understand what is called "misty rain and Liujiang River".

△ misty rain Liujiang is in Meishan. /tuchong creativity

Chuan Chu di yi cheng

Soak in your eyes.

Everyone knows that Su Dongpo loves to eat and knows how to eat. This gene is nothing more than being immersed in Meishan for a long time.

It is said that Chengdu, every small town in Sichuan is very "rolled" in the food industry, and every small shop is so delicious that people can’t take their legs. Even so, Meishan still makes a circle by its own unique charm-the first city of kimchi in China, and also the hometown of Sichuan chefs.

△ The first kimchi city in China, in Meishan. /tuchong creativity

Sichuan cuisine is very popular now, but many people don’t know that "the bone of Sichuan cuisine" is Dongpo kimchi. In Meishan, almost every household can produce their own kimchi jar, and kimchi is an indicator to test local folk cooking.

You can see the local people grow vegetables, pick them, and then store them by soaking. This production process has evolved from appetizers to seasonings and side dishes.

You can also visit the only kimchi museum in the country in Meishan, and its production skills can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. It is even more legendary that Su Dongpo spent his schooling with a bowl of rice, a dish of salt and a bowl of pickled radish.

△ The first kimchi city in China, in Meishan.

There are many traditional cuisines in Meishan, and the most well-known one is Dongpo cuisine, such as Dongpo elbow, Dongpo fish, Dongpo cake, Dongpo sausage and Dongpo preserved eggs.

△ The cuisine named after a person is only Dongpo cuisine.

Nowadays, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hubei provinces, you can eat Dongpo elbow, which has undergone continuous integration and innovation, and the Dongpo elbow in Meishan is their most traditional female parent, with a strong local flavor, glutinous and crisp. Meishan people eat elbows, and they are used to matching several sour and refreshing pickles, which can not only relieve boredom but also increase the level of flavor.

△ Meishan’s Dongpo elbow douban has a strong flavor.

Not just elbows, you can always find the most traditional flavor of Sichuan food in Meishan.

For example, the most common bean paste in Sichuan home cooking is also the specialty of Meishan people. Sichuanese often say that kimchi is the root of Sichuan cuisine, while watercress is the soul of Sichuan cuisine. There are many kinds of bean paste in Sichuan. Chen Xiaoqing’s team visited for a long time when filming "Flavor World 2", and finally chose to shoot in Meishan because there are the most traditional bean paste making techniques here.

Another example is "Mawangzi", one of the most popular Sichuan restaurants in Chengdu. The founder Ma Shiheng started his business selling blood in Meishan. Meishan-style Maoxuewang is just spicy, and pays attention to reasonable color and meat collocation. In addition to the traditional spicy taste, there is white bean soup with fat intestines and blood, and the fragrance is not greasy.

△ Mawangzi plays a variety of flavors with blood.

After more than 90 years of precipitation, this store has already walked out of Meishan, but for many Meishan people, Mawangzi represents not Chengdu Michelin, but an old shop that will be patronized from generation to generation.

As the traditional cuisine of Leshan is well known, Leshan sweet-skinned duck has also stepped out of Sichuan and Sichuan to let more people know. However, the sweet-skinned duck also has a contempt chain in the local area. If it is in Meishan, the Leshan version of the sweet-skinned duck can’t be sold at all. The most authentic accent of the local people is called "Braised Duck Nest".

Especially in pengshan county, Meishan, there are the most traditional "oil-scalded sweet-skinned ducks", most of which are hidden in old shops that have not been mass-produced. Compared with Leshan’s sweet-skinned ducks, Meishan’s sweet-skinned ducks are crispy in skin and softer in meat, with the most balanced sweetness, salty taste and braised taste.

△ Compared with Leshan version of sweet-skinned duck, Pengshan version is more primitive.

Of course, when Sichuanese come to Meishan, they want to find the ancient flavor most, and they have to nominate Danling frozen cake. Although these cakes wrapped in corn bud leaves are ugly, they are from Meishan people and even Sichuan people from snacks to big taste buds.

Danling people use indica rice, soybean and glutinous rice as raw materials to grind them into pulp, naturally ferment them in a jar without yeast, then wrap the prepared rice pulp with corn bracts and steam it in a steamer. This ancient production technique can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. In the old twelfth lunar month, every household in Danling steamed frozen cakes. The frozen cake steamed from each corn bract leaves is soft and waxy, and the entrance is sweet.

There is a saying in Meishan that "the old mother’s jelly tastes long". For everyone in Meishan, the ordinary jelly bears their attachment to their homeland.

△ Danling frozen cake, the childhood memories of every Meishan person.

Meishan is the youngest city in Sichuan. Before that, it was a county under Leshan until it was established in 2000. But everyone who knows Meishan knows that it has a history of about 2300 years of state and county organizational system.

It is also officially certified as "the hometown of Sichuan chefs in China". According to incomplete statistics, there are as many as 45,000 catering employees in Meishan, and at least one Meishan-born chef works there in every city above the prefecture level.

These Sichuan chefs have taken root in a foreign land, making Meishan cuisine praised by people all over the country.

When Sichuan cuisine goes to the world and Dongpo cuisine forms a unique category of Sichuan cuisine, Meishan people behind it are trying to interpret the cultural essence of Sichuan cuisine with the most traditional craftsmanship and the earliest flavor, and also give back to this aura and rich homeland.
