[Biography] Zhou Xianghu, male, born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, joined the army in June 2001. He is currently an engineer at the Wenchang Launch Site Engineering Construction Command. In the case of near blindness, he participated in the construction of a new generation of space launch sites in China, and built the Babel of the Long March 5 and Long March 7 launch vehicles, and won the first class. In 2014, he was awarded the fifth "National Model of Self-improvement", and in 2016, he was awarded the "National Upward Good Youth", which was cordially received by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader.

Cctv news(Reporter Guo Cheng) On June 25, 2016, Wenchang, China, was shocked by a fire. The Long March 7 launch vehicle made its perfect debut, and the Wenchang Space Launch Site was amazing and bright. China Aerospace started a new "Long March" in this ancient town in Qiongbei.

Looking at the towering tower, Zhou Xianghu, an engineer of Wenchang launch site engineering construction headquarters, has vague and clear eyes. Blurred, because his left eye has no light perception, and his right eye naked vision is only 0.04. Clear, because he witnessed the launch site from blueprint to reality, from Longlou town to the world.

"Exploring the vast universe, developing the space industry and building a space power are our unremitting pursuit of space dreams." The supreme leader’s entrustment is still in my ears. The tide of reforming and strengthening the army is surging, and China’s new generation of high-thrust launch vehicle Long March 5 is waiting to go out. Zhou Xianghu looks after the Babel &hellip, which holds up the "ice arrow", like caring for his own eyes; …

Rivet on the construction site like a nail

In August, 2007, in order to promote the sustainable development of the space industry and meet the needs of the launch mission of a new generation of launch vehicles and new spacecraft, the CPC Central Committee was far-sighted, and the State Council and the Central Military Commission approved the decision to build a new space launch site in Wenchang, Hainan. On September 14th, 2009, the Wenchang Space Launch Site officially started construction.

"The need of the space industry is the choice of space warriors." Zhou Xianghu volunteered and moved to Hainan with his comrades-in-arms, and ran from land to island, becoming the first entrepreneurs in the construction of a new generation of space launch sites in China.

At that time, bushes and thorns were all around, and snakes, insects, rats and ants frequently appeared. The harsh environment of high temperature, high humidity and high salt spray is even more unbearable: every rainy day, the ground is damp, the clothes are moldy, and the 6-square-meter board shed is like a steamer. A desk works during the day and becomes a bed when the mat is spread at night.

The hardships at the beginning of starting a business failed to stop the trudgers. In order to complete the task of border reconnaissance as soon as possible, Zhou Xianghu, like a tireless pioneer cow, wears a straw hat to shade the sun, holds a firewood knife to open the way, and carries measuring equipment all day long to shuttle through the bush jungle and back and forth to the swamp paddy field. When mosquitoes and leeches bite, Zhou Xianghu is covered in bags, and the whole body is peeled off by the scorching sun. The long-distance field survey on foot has made his feet full of bubbles.

At the turn of summer and autumn in 2011, the construction of the launch site project entered a decisive battle stage to seize the construction period and ensure the quality. More than 150 major projects have been started in succession, and the construction of the launch towers of Long March 7 and Long March 5, which have the most complicated technology and the highest quality requirements, is in full swing. As a site management representative, Zhou Xianghu riveted on the construction site like a nail, covered with soil in sunny days and mud in rainy days.

At the beginning of September, the diversion channel was concreted, and the amount of concrete poured at one time was as high as more than 3000 cubic meters. Because pouring can’t stop, Zhou Xianghu stayed at the construction site for more than 30 hours. The scorching sun, the heat wave attacking people, the surface temperature of steel bars exceeds 60℃, and sweat and steam are mixed with cement ash, which makes people’s eyes cry.

"The other eye is dedicated to it without regrets."

The project went smoothly, but unfortunately it came quietly. Zhou Xianghu, who was already highly nearsighted, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and blacked out at the moment because of long-term exposure to strong sunlight, electric welding arc stimulation and overwork. When he held the steel bar and recovered, his eyes were blurred. At night, even if you open your eyes wide, there is only a very weak sense of light.

That night, Zhou Xianghu lay motionless in bed, and his mind was blank. He didn’t dare to turn off the lights or close his eyes, for fear that what little light was left would disappear. "I really can’t see? Will my dream come true? " Zhou Xianghu repeatedly asked himself if he could return to the launch site, see the big rocket take off, and watch his daughter grow up slowly … …

The sky is full of people! After the full treatment of Beijing medical experts, Zhou Xianghu’s right eye was saved!

According to people’s instinctive judgment, this young man’s space dream will be shattered — — A person who is completely blind in his left eye and wears 1200-degree glasses in his right eye with a vision of only 0.25 can’t see the drawings clearly, and even his own life is affected.

Zhou Xianghu is faced with a life choice: whether to accept other jobs arranged by the organization and leaders or to rest. Zhou Xianghu asked the organization to return to the construction line.

After a short period of treatment and recovery, Zhou Xianghu returned to the launch site. Facing the vague tower in front of him, he firmly believes: "If I choose, I will stick to it. Even if I give my other eye to it, I have no regrets."

"If your eyesight drops, your standards must not drop."

In the days when he first returned to the construction site, Zhou Xianghu faced much more difficulties than expected. At that time, my eyes were red and swollen, and even when I ate, I was smoked by the hot air, and my tears could not stop flowing downwards. The sun shines and the sea breeze blows, and Zhou Xianghu’s eyes are sore. "If your eyesight drops, the standard must not drop." Zhou Xianghu said.

Dense data, one can’t be wrong, which is very difficult for normal people, especially for Zhou Xianghu. In order to make sure he didn’t make mistakes, he carried a magnifying glass with him, kept his eyes on the drawing and read it line by line. After watching it for a few minutes, his eyes hurt, so he closed his eyes and looked down again.

In this way, Zhou Xianghu carved the drawings of two stations piled up more than 1 meter high into his mind.

In July 2014, the once-in-a-century super typhoon "rammasun" landed near the launch site, which is undoubtedly a big test for the newly completed tower.

Two hours before the typhoon, the maximum instantaneous wind force of meteorological warning will reach 17, which exceeds the upper limit of wind resistance of the tower. Although it has been reinforced, Zhou Xianghu is still uneasy and insists on climbing up to have a look.

When the colleague saw it, he grabbed him: "You are not dying! The wind is so strong, the rain is so urgent, and the eyes are not good. What should I do if there is an accident? "

At this time, Zhou Xianghu had only one thought in his heart: "The safety of the tower is more important than life! Go! Must go! " He took the comrades of the construction unit to risk the typhoon coming at any time, held the handrail tightly, checked the key parts one by one, and confirmed the important equipment one by one. Two towers, more than 1100 steps, every step, the danger is close to one point, and every step, the worry is less.

Zhou Xianghu had just returned to the dormitory when the typhoon came. That night, his heart swayed like a coconut tree outside the window and suffered greatly. At dawn, Zhou Xianghu took everyone to the tower in the rain and re-examined it layer by layer. When he was sure that the subject was safe and sound, his brows, which had been locked, unfolded.

"I am ashamed of my family, but I have no regrets about the launch site."

Wenchang Space Launch Site is a national project. In the eyes of Zhou Xiang Tiger, this is his "home".

For this "home", Zhou Xianghu poured his heart into it. The "imbalance" of the emotional balance even makes parents, wives and daughters a little jealous.

His father suffered from uremia for many years until his death in early 2015, and Zhou Xianghu failed to take time to take care of it; Mother’s sciatica often attacks, and he can only tell comfort on the phone; I have been married to my wife for 13 years, and the two places have separated so far, gathering less and leaving more … …

In 2011, Zhou Xianghu went home to recuperate after surgery, which was the longest time for him to accompany his daughter. "It happened to be my birthday when I went home for a few days. When I ate the cake, I asked her to blow out the candles with me. The daughter said, ‘ Dad is afraid of the dark, so I don’t blow ’ I suddenly jumped into my arms and tears ran down my arm. "

Now, my daughter is in junior high school, and the time spent together between father and daughter is less than one year. "The first time I met her, she was just born. The second time I met her, she was already able to talk and walk. Later, she went to kindergarten … …” Every time I think about this, Zhou Xianghu will have a dull pain in his heart.

Zhou Xianghu also has a dream of reunion in his heart, but when he thinks that the launch tower he supervised will send the motherland’s big rocket and manned space station into space, and the exploration of the moon will also take this place as the home port, and China Aerospace will start its journey to further deep space from here, he feels that it is worthwhile to pay more.

Zhou Xianghu was ashamed of his family, but he had no regrets about the launch site and the space dream. The medal of "National Model of Self-improvement", "National Upward Good Youth" and the first-class merit medal shining on his chest are praise for his spirit of self-improvement.

Compared with these, he is even more proud of personally testing more than 15,000 tons of steel bars, more than 11,000 tons of section steel, more than 90,000 cubic meters of concrete, and more than 9,000 meters of steel column welds. Participated in exploring and innovating 12 new construction technologies and techniques, and many achievements were applied in the construction of launch site; Two launching stations were rated as excellent quality and safety inspection projects of the whole army … …

Every generation has a long March for each generation; Every generation must take its own long March.

Looking at the tower, Zhou Xianghu is full of confidence: "This is my long March! Even if you are blind, you must move on! " (Zhang Wenjun and Li Zhangwei contributed to this article)

Judging from the air ticket booking at the end of March, the number of tourists from China ranks first.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Fukushima, Japan, August 23rd Summary: Fukushima people oppose the Japanese government’s decision to start discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.

　　Xinhua news agency reporter

　　The Japanese government decided on the 22nd, as long as the weather and marine meteorology are fine, the nuclear polluted water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will be discharged into the sea on August 24th. From 22nd to 23rd, several residents of Fukushima Prefecture were interviewed by Xinhua News Agency, condemning the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company for violating their original commitment not to dispose of nuclear polluted water without authorization, and reiterating their firm opposition to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea.

　　Xiao Ye Chunxiong, a 71-year-old fisherman in Xindicho, Fukushima Prefecture, told Xinhua News Agency on the 22nd: "Discharging the sea is a matter of survival for us. We have endured it and endured it for 12 or 13 years, and we have not recovered to ‘ 3·11’ The fishing level before the earthquake, under such circumstances, does kishida fumio, as the Japanese Prime Minister, have the right to pollute our workplace? "

　　Xiao Ye Chunxiong said that after the 2011 earthquake, wholesalers in Tsukiji Aquatic Products Market in Tokyo were reluctant to purchase fish from Fukushima. Fishermen in Fukushima worked hard for more than 10 years, and it was not until two years ago that the price of seafood from Fukushima recovered to be higher than that before the earthquake. At this time, "if it is discharged, are we worried that fish can still be sold?" Moreover, nuclear polluted water can not be discharged in one year or two, and will continue to be discharged for a long time. "

　　Chiyoda Oda, who lives in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, told Xinhua News Agency by e-mail on the 22nd that the Japanese government hastily decided to discharge the sea, violating its promise. "This is an atrocity that was promoted under the condition of insufficient explanation to the people."

　　Nishi Nishi runs a hot spring hotel with a history of more than 300 years in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. He told reporters on the 23rd that about 70% of the hotel guests originally came from Tokyo, but after the nuclear accident, the number of guests from other places decreased, making it even more difficult for foreign tourists to see them.

　　When asked if he was worried that the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea would further reduce the number of tourists, Rijian Xisheng said that 12 years after the nuclear accident, tourists finally began to increase. "This time, the news (nuclear polluted water discharged into the sea) spread all over the world, and it was Fukushima, and I felt very sad."

　　In 2015, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company promised to the Federation of Fisheries Cooperation Associations in Fukushima Prefecture in the form of documents that "no disposal will be carried out (for nuclear polluted water) without the understanding of relevant parties". Rijian Xisheng said that the government promised the fishermen in Fukushima not to discharge nuclear polluted water without authorization, and now it has decided to discharge it, so the government lied. He stressed that so far, the government has not gained the understanding of the people in Fukushima Prefecture. He showed reporters the data of a poll conducted by local TV stations on the 22nd, showing that more than 70% of Fukushima residents thought that the government’s explanation did not make them better understand the plan of discharging the sea.

　　On the 23rd, the plaintiff group composed of residents of Fukushima Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture announced that they would file a lawsuit in the Fukushima District Court, and demanded that the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company cancel the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.

　　The plaintiff and attorney held a press conference in Iwaki on the afternoon of 23rd, and announced the news. In the complaint, the plaintiff pointed out that discharging pollutants into the sea violated the principle that those responsible for pollution should not diffuse pollutants and infringed on the residents’ right to a stable life. The attorney pointed out that the Japanese authorities and the Tokyo Electric Power Company had a major fault in the Fukushima nuclear accident, and now it is a "double harm" to deliberately discharge pollutants into the sea.

[Wan Yu, correspondent of Global Times in South Africa] The second wave of COVID-19 epidemic in South Africa is threatening. Due to the recent discovery of the mutated COVID-19 virus, many countries began to restrict flights from South Africa. As of the 23rd, eight countries, including Germany, Turkey, Israel and Switzerland, have announced the ban on South African flights.

According to the British "Guardian" reported on the 22nd, South Africa reported this new mutant virus for the first time on the 18th, and named it "501.V2". Regarding whether this new strain was formed in South Africa, South African Health Minister Mukez said that up to now, South African medical experts have not found out the source of the mutated virus. It was first discovered in eastern cape, South Africa, and then spread to the surrounding areas, but it is impossible to identify that the mutated virus originated in East Cape Province.

Mukez said that since the epidemic of new coronary pneumonia in South Africa in March, it has been caused by KwaZulu — The team led by natal province Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform has sequenced hundreds of virus samples, and they have noticed that in the past two months, a specific mutant virus has become more and more dominant. Karim, co-chairman of the South African Covid-19 Task Force, said that 80%-90% of the Covid-19 samples they have obtained are this variant. Clinical data show that more patients are young people without basic diseases, but they show more serious symptoms than those infected with Covid-19 before.

The WHO said on the 21st that although the varieties of Covid-19 discovered in South Africa appeared almost at the same time as those discovered in Britain, they were unrelated varieties and had nothing to do with each other.

The peak of the first round of epidemic in South Africa occurred in July and August, with nearly 14,000 new confirmed cases every day, and then gradually declined. In September, the number of new confirmed cases decreased to about 2,000, but it began to increase again in November, and more than 10,000 new confirmed cases were added in a single day on December 19th. According to medical experts, the second wave of COVID-19 epidemic in South Africa is related to the increased social gathering activities at the end of the year, which caused widespread community spread. After the second wave of epidemic broke out, the South African government strengthened the blockade of beaches, but it did not raise the national blockade level. In Johannesburg, the Global Times reporter saw that local restaurants and cafes were still open normally. In Cape Town, a tourist resort, local law enforcement agencies send a large number of personnel to patrol the beach, and those who go to the beach in violation of regulations will be fined heavily and may even be imprisoned.

According to the data released by the South African Ministry of Health on the 22nd, there were 9,501 new confirmed cases in COVID-19, with a total of 940,212 confirmed cases, 339 new deaths and 25,246 cumulative deaths. The South African government announced on the 22nd that it had paid a down payment of $19.2 million to the Global Alliance for Vaccine Immunization (GAVI) to ensure South Africa’s entry into the WHO COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Plan.

　　CCTV News:This is the first time that China has hosted a global competition of popular e-sports, and it is also the first time that the China team has met the challenge from the "strongmen" of various countries at home with the attention of countless fans. Half a year ago, the news that S7 League of Legends Finals settled in China made non-e-sports fans boil. For more than a month, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing have attracted the attention of e-sports enthusiasts all over the world.

　　In this series, although the performance of the China team was not satisfactory, the fierce competitions made many fans around the world enjoy wonderful audio-visual feasts again and again. However, just before the China team finished the tournament, a discordant voice appeared in front of the fans: tickets for the S7 finals were hard to find, and the tickets in the hands of scalpers had been fried to 13,000 yuan.

　　The sky-high tickets we experienced in those years

　　As soon as the news came out, many fans expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction on the internet, and as the official online ticketing platform of the event, it became the target of public criticism and was pushed to the forefront of public opinion by netizens.

Image from netizen Weibo screenshot

　　In response to questions from netizens and fans, the platform published three articles in its official Weibo from October 25th to 27th, to the effect that "scalpers? It has nothing to do with us ","Can’t buy tickets online? Too many tickets have led to the system crash. Finally, I apologize to the netizens and fans through an article of less than 600 words.

　　As for whether it is true or not, consumers naturally have a steelyard in their hearts, and Xiaobian is undecided. However, counting the sky-high ticket events we have experienced over the years, consumers are miserable.

　　When the Korean group BIGBANG visited China in 2016, only a few lucky people were able to buy original tickets through normal channels, and most fans had to face the crazy rise of scalper tickets. At that time, someone laughed and said, just look at the seating area of BIGBANG tour tickets exposed in the circle of friends, and you can guess the degree of local tyrants of the other party.

　　In July 2016, Jay Chou’s concert caused a storm before it started. At that time, tickets were snapped up within 15 minutes before the name of the performance was determined, but then fans whined that they couldn’t get tickets, and scalpers even took the opportunity to drive up the ticket price. A VIP with an original price of 2,000 yuan actually shouted to 10,800 yuan.

　　In December, 2016, after a concert with the theme of "Faye Wong Fantasy Live 2016" was sold out, the ticket price of Faye Wong concert in the hands of scalpers rose all the way, from thousands to tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands to millions, which was staggering.

　　… …

　　E-sports events and cultural performances are all important parts of China’s cultural industry. As far as the attribute of cultural noumenon is concerned, whether it is "spring snow" or "Xialiba people", people are all born equal before culture. From the law of industry, the market segmentation of cultural consumption is understandable. But the existence of "scalpers" and "sky-high tickets" is not only a malicious consumption of culture itself, but also a provocation to the benign operation of the cultural market. Like a cancer, it is not only bad for the development of cultural industry, but also magnifies the audience’s strong sense of division and class.

　　When can market supervision be implemented?

　　Of course, there are some market reasons for the emergence of sky-high tickets, but at present, it is more caused by the imperfect development of the cultural industry market.

　　According to statistics from institutions, in China, the average price of a ticket for a concert accounts for 17.24% of the per capita monthly GDP, compared with 1.81% in the United States, 3.11% in Japan and 2.87% in the United Kingdom. China concert ticket price is 7.5 times that of Europe and America. Compared with Hong Kong, mainland concert tickets will also be several times.

　　The huge market share and unsound operation mode make some domestic unscrupulous merchants feel profitable, and the incidents that the primary and secondary ticket markets collude to carry out "hunger marketing" to get high profits are often reported in newspapers. In this regard, in July this year, the Ministry of Culture issued the Notice on Regulating the Operating Order of the Ticket Market for Commercial Performances.

　　It is clear that:

　　The performance organizer shall entrust a qualified performance ticketing business unit to sell the corresponding tickets in addition to its own performance ticketing; Internet platform enterprises shall not provide services for institutions and individuals to resell tickets, buy and sell performance tickets or give tickets. In other words, tickets for future performances must be sold through official agency platforms, such as Barley, Yongle and Xishi District.

　　It is worth noting that the "Notice" requires performance organizers and ticketing business units to clearly mark the price, not to increase sales, and not to seize tickets, hoard tickets or speculate on tickets. The number of tickets for performances sold to the public in the market shall not be less than 70% of the audience approved by the public security department.

　　In addition, the "Notice" also proposes to encourage all localities to explore the implementation of real-name system management for ticket sales of key commercial performances.

　　However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the governance effect of the new regulations on "yellow cattle" is not ideal. Although the scalpers in the S7 finals are running at a loss, if the finals are "Chinese Derby", how many fans and netizens are cursing on the Internet because they can’t buy tickets?

　　Some people may say that cultural consumption is the business of the rich. However, seeing that we are about to build a well-off society, do we have to worry about a small ticket for a literary performance?

　　Reform and opening up is a great and profound revolution. It is an economic revolution, an ideological revolution, a social revolution and a governance revolution. Reform and opening up has not only changed the object, but also reshaped the subject itself, so it is also a great self-revolution.

　　Reform and opening up is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s great self-revolution.The Communist Party of China (CPC) started with revolution, insisted on promoting social change and national construction with revolutionary attitude, and always displayed high revolutionary spirit. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s revolutionary spirit is not only reflected in his courage to go through fire and water in the revolutionary era and his enthusiasm to change places in the construction period, but also in his persistence in his advanced nature and purity and his face-to-face solution to his own problems. This spirit of self-revolution is a remarkable sign that the Communist Party of China (CPC) is different from other political parties. The start of reform and opening-up was precisely implemented by the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the basis of in-depth review of left-leaning thoughts and dogmatism. In the process of reform and opening-up, the Party is always faced with various risks and challenges. However, the Communist Party of China (CPC) did not fall into a state of being afraid to fight and content with the status quo, but insisted on the courage to face up to problems and correct mistakes, and got rid of his illness again and again, making the party not only a long-term ruling party with excellent ability and high skill, but also a sustained revolutionary party with excellent politics and strong organization. Facts have proved that the reform and opening up not only promoted the overall progress of the country, but also realized the great social revolution; Moreover, it has made the party’s beliefs more firm, its thoughts more mature, its organization more powerful, and its style of work always excellent, thus realizing a great self-revolution. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out, the Communist Party of China (CPC) can lead the people to carry out great social revolution as well as great self-revolution.

　　Reform and opening up is the great self-revolution of the Chinese nation.The great national spirit formed by the people of China in the long-term struggle has created a splendid Chinese civilization that has lasted for thousands of years and has become a powerful spiritual driving force for Chinese civilization. However, in modern times, influenced by many factors, the spiritual vitality of the Chinese nation was imprisoned, and the national self-confidence and spirit of struggle and creation were once severely weakened. It was the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s social revolution guided by Marxism that revived the great spirit of the Chinese nation. In particular, the new great revolution of reform and opening up has further profoundly changed the Chinese nation. Reform and opening up have made Marxism enter and influence Chinese’s spiritual world more deeply, and become the fundamental thinking method and action guide of the people of China. Reform and opening up have promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese civilization, made the most basic cultural genes adapt to contemporary culture and coordinate with modern society, and cultivated and formed a socialist core value system that embodies the traditional cultural spirit of the Chinese nation and has the characteristics of the new era. Reform and opening up have helped Chinese to establish modern values of openness, equality, enterprising and self-confidence, and the national self-confidence and cohesion have been significantly enhanced. The reform and opening up has enabled the Chinese nation to look at the major issues facing itself and the world more scientifically and rationally, and to bravely put forward ideas, propositions and plans for the world that reflect China’s position, China’s wisdom and China’s values. Practice has proved that the reform and opening-up has reshaped the Chinese nation from the depths of its soul and realized its great self-revolution.

　　Reform and opening up is the great self-revolution of socialism.Since the October Revolution, world socialism has gone through a hundred years of burning passion, and the wave of red revolution has swept the world. However, due to the imprisonment of dogmatism and the erosion of western social thoughts, socialism once lost its vitality. China’s reform and opening up, through the discussion of truth standard, broke the dogmatic thinking of Marxism and regarded "seeking truth from facts" as the basic methodology of building and developing socialism again. In practice, China always adhered to the Four Cardinal Principles, actively absorbed the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and explored and formed the Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has not only enabled the Chinese nation to modernize in an all-round way, but also enabled socialism to successfully open up a correct road with high reality and feasibility in the most populous country in the world, and it will glow with new vitality in the new century. In sharp contrast, the development of capitalism since the new century has hit its own "iron plate". The different development trends of socialism and capitalism since the new century show that capitalism has not only fallen into a "crisis of applicability", but also faced a "crisis of legitimacy"; The reform and opening-up has not only enabled China to take over the banner of socialist development, but also revitalized socialism, making it more attractive and attractive. Compared with capitalism, it has shown greater vitality and superiority, and the world development situation is changing.

　　History has proved that reform and opening up, as a social and historical movement, is also a conscious social change activity. The social and historical development is endless. When the reform and opening up is not completed, it is the constant pursuit of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Chinese nation and socialism to realize self-development and perfection. As Socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, it is necessary for us to continue to promote the great social revolution, and it is even more necessary for us to always establish the spirit of being brave in self-revolution, forge ahead, constantly enhance our abilities of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement, embark on a new journey and open up a new situation.

　　At 10: 00 on December 10th, the Yangtze River Intermodal Train from Chengdu, Sichuan Province to Jingzhou, Hubei Province was successfully launched at Chengxiang Central Station in qingbaijiang district, Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

　　The train will arrive in Jingzhou, Hubei Province by railway, and then be distributed to Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places by Yangtze River water transport, and the transportation time will be changed from the original 15-mdash; 20 days is shortened to about 10 days.

　　It is understood that the traffic volume of the Three Gorges Project on the Yangtze River has increased rapidly since it was put into operation for 20 years. According to the data, the traffic volume of the Three Gorges Project has reached the design limit of 160 million tons in 2022, and reached a record high in the first three quarters of 2023, reaching 127 million tons, up 10.02% year-on-year. The waiting time has increased from 17 hours in 2011 to 223 hours in 2022. The phenomenon of the Three Gorges Ship Lock waiting for the lock has become normal.

　　Through the "Yangtze River Train" of hot metal combined transport, the load of the Three Gorges Project can be effectively reduced, the cargo transportation time can be greatly shortened, and the transportation capacity of the upstream and downstream cargo passages along the Yangtze River can be effectively enhanced.

　　"Yangtze River Train" will realize normal two-way operation through pilot guidance, gradual expansion and orderly expansion. It is estimated that by 2030, the diversion of the navigation volume gap of more than 15 million tons of the Three Gorges Hub will be completed, accounting for about 30% of the total diversion transportation of the Three Gorges in the future, effectively lifting the constraints brought by the water transportation in Sichuan, Chongqing and the western region, and contributing to better service and integration into the domestic and international dual cycle.
