BIM/CIM technology is fully applied to establish three-dimensional digital models of buildings, infrastructure and underground space, build a city-wide spatio-temporal information platform, and build an IOT perception platform to provide strong digital base support for digital government and smart city construction.

  By 2025, the city big data center, government cloud and government network will be upgraded and expanded in an all-round way, and a space-time information platform will be built to realize the superposition of all elements in the whole region. There are over 30 5G base stations per 10,000 people, over 26,000 standard racks in urban big data centers, over 200 applications of spatio-temporal information platforms, and the BIM model introduction rate of important buildings, municipal infrastructure and water engineering projects reaches 100%. Since 2023, BIM technology has been fully applied in all newly-built (approved and put on record) projects in the city (with an investment of over 10 million yuan and a construction area of over 1,000 square meters).

Take the lead in building a digital government and leading the city.

Create a coordinated, accurate and intelligent

Integral government

  How to build active, accurate, holistic and intelligent government management and services? In this regard, the "Planning" proposes to accelerate the promotion of the "Three Ones".

Comprehensive deepening of "one network for government services"

The basic realization of "one network unified management" in government governance

The government’s operation of "one network coordination" has basically taken shape.

  The Plan proposes to further optimize the service content of "I Series" platforms such as "I Shenzhen" and "Shenzhen I Enterprise" and improve the integrated government service system. In the aspect of "unified management through one network", with the platform of "deep governance and wisdom" as the leading traction, focusing on the five functions of government economic regulation, market supervision, social management, public service and ecological environment, aiming at the key and difficult problems in urban operation management, the government governance process reengineering and model optimization are promoted, and the closed loop of business collaborative work under digital conditions is reshaped. In the aspect of "one network collaboration", we will strengthen the construction of unified platform support capacity of digital government and provide intensive and efficient platform support, data support and business support for all districts and departments in the city.

  By 2025, the "one network to run" government services will be comprehensively deepened — — The online and offline integrated government service system is more perfect, and the government service "one network to run" is deepening from "available and usable" to "easy to use and love to use".

  The basic realization of "unified management through one network" in government governance — — Establish a city-level integrated decision-making command platform to promote cross-level, cross-regional, cross-system, cross-departmental and cross-business collaborative governance.

  The "one network coordination" of government operation has basically taken shape — — The digital transformation of party and government organs at all levels has achieved remarkable results, and collaborative management at all levels and departments has become smoother and more efficient.

Boost the high-quality construction of digital society

Let digital achievements benefit the whole people

  In terms of building a digital society, the Plan proposes to focus on key areas such as education, medical care, old-age care, caring for the young, employment, recreation and sports, and helping the disabled, strengthen the deep integration of information resources, promote more efficient and coordinated online and offline services, and accelerate the creation of an equal and inclusive people’s livelihood service system, so that the achievements of digital society construction can better benefit all citizens.

  In addition, in order to build a digital society shared by all, the Plan emphasizes promoting the aging transformation of related services, providing convenience for the elderly to use intelligent products and applications, and gradually eliminating the "digital divide" so that the elderly can better integrate into the smart society. Strengthen the education and training of digital skills of the whole people, improve the ability and level of using intelligent technology, and enhance the digital literacy of the whole people.

  By 2025, digitalization and intelligence will help the "seven excellent people’s livelihood" to be prominent. The whole people enjoy the new mode of digital life, digital products enter thousands of households, and are deeply integrated with various industries in the economy and society. Progress has been made in the transformation of "suitability for the elderly" in various fields of public services, and the "digital divide" has been gradually bridged.

  The Plan proposes that Shenzhen should seize new opportunities for the development of digital economy, give full play to the advantages of massive data and huge market application scale, actively cultivate new technologies, new industries, new formats and new models, vigorously promote the construction of strategic emerging industrial clusters, constantly update industrial forms, continuously upgrade industrial energy levels, and strive to create a new engine for the development of digital economy and lead a smart new life.

  By 2025, we will conquer a number of digital key core technologies with independent intellectual property rights and form a number of international leading standards. The added value of the core industries of the digital economy accounted for 31% of the city’s GDP, and the revenue from software business exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan. The development of digital economy segments such as 5G, artificial intelligence, software and information services led the country. Build a series of public technical service platforms to support the digital transformation of industries.

Take the lead in building a digital ecological model city

The scale of data transaction and service is leading in China.

  In terms of building a digital ecology, the Plan proposes to accelerate the implementation of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Data Regulations and gradually improve data property rights, data transactions and other regulations, systems and standard systems. Strengthen cooperation among smart urban agglomerations in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and promote mutual recognition of standards and convergence of rules. Explore the establishment of mechanisms for cross-border data flow and sharing. Build a unified network security architecture in the city, and create an all-weather and all-scene network security guarantee system.

  By 2025, we will promote the construction of relevant supporting systems of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Data Regulations, complete the pilot reform of market-oriented allocation of data elements, cultivate the data element market, and achieve the national leading in data transaction activity and data service industry scale. The public data service system has been gradually improved. There are no less than 5,000 social open data sets of public data resources, and the coverage rate of "one number and one source" reaches 85%. The system of network security construction, operation, management and standards has been further improved. Deepening foreign cooperation and creating a new paradigm of cooperation in the digital field.

  It is worth noting that the Plan innovates the work promotion mechanism, explores the establishment of a performance evaluation system and evaluation indicators for digital government and smart city construction, and evaluates the development level of digital government and smart city, as well as the application system construction and use effect of various districts and departments on an annual basis. At the same time, the chief data officer (CDO) was established to clarify the scope of responsibilities and evaluation mechanism of chief data officer, promote the development and utilization of public data, and optimize the allocation of data elements resources.

Scientific and technological innovation leads high-quality development

  Innovation is the first driving force for development. In 2021, scientific and technological innovation will support and lead the high-quality development of China’s economy.

  In recent years, the global economy has been hit by the COVID-19 epidemic, but China’s economy has maintained a growth trend. In 2021, China’s innovation-driven development trend continued to improve, the profit growth rate and investment growth rate of high-tech industries maintained a high level, and the transformation of old and new kinetic energy was accelerated during the epidemic.

  The economic growth of national high-tech zones is good.

  National High-tech Zone has become an important strategic support and new growth point of China’s economy. From January to August this year, 169 national high-tech zones realized an operating income of 29.5 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.9%; The total profit was 2.3 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 36.8%; The total export volume was 3.0 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.4%; The profit rate of national high-tech zone enterprises’ operating income was 7.8%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points over the same period of last year; The number of newly registered enterprises in the National High-tech Zone was 436,000, a year-on-year increase of 34.1%.

  "These data show that the national high-tech zone economy has maintained a good growth momentum and innovation and entrepreneurship have continued to be active." Jia Jingdun, director of the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said.

  The performance of high-tech zones such as Zhongguancun in Beijing and Donghu in Wuhan is quite outstanding. From January to August, the technology income of Zhongguancun Science Park was 996.68 billion yuan, up 26.3% year-on-year, and the sales income of new products was 592.58 billion yuan, up 96.0% year-on-year. Together, they accounted for about 30% of the total income, and the income structure continued to be optimized. The profit rate of the enterprise was 10.5%, 1.6 times that of the same period of last year. From January to August, the leading industries in Wuhan Donghu High-tech Zone continued to develop strongly, and the industrial output value of optoelectronic information industry reached 125.52 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.2%.

  High-tech Zone solves problems for enterprises in the park and optimizes various services.

  "Haidian Pioneer Park has solved the financing problem of enterprises, and the service has achieved results and the amount has reached a new high." Zhao Xinliang, director of in haidian estate of zhongguancun science park Innovation Service Center, introduced that Haidian Pioneer Park has classified and integrated the resources of more than 800 high-quality cooperative institutions, effectively linked financing needs and reduced corporate financing costs. In 2021, 9 financing docking activities have been held, including the "three or three meetings" and investor meetings, with 180 sub-enterprises and more than 600 sub-investment institutions participating. They also joined the Beijing Equity Exchange Center to recommend 240 high-quality enterprises to land on the "four boards" for free, helping enterprises to standardize their operations and enter the multi-level capital market.

  High-tech zones actively responded to the requirements of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, and launched a number of reforms.

  The "Minshan Action" plan is a special practice launched by Chengdu High-tech Zone this year. It is based on the actual ability and effectiveness of solving the problem of "sticking the neck" in industrial development. After the release of the first demand list, 92 application teams were attracted, including 18 academicians leading the team. At present, six new R&D institutions, including Chengdu Minshan Institute of Hydrogen Energy and Carbon Neutralization Technology and Chengdu Minshan Institute of Power Semiconductor Technology, have successfully unveiled the list and obtained support funds of about 450 million yuan.

  "The team that successfully unveiled the list needs to sign the task book for unveiling the list and set up ‘ Military order ’ , according to the established goals and ‘ Milestone ’ Node to attack, and take ‘ Assessment once a year, elimination once every three years ’ Management methods, timely suspension of non-performance or poor progress of the project. " Wang Xiaoning, deputy director of Chengdu Hi-tech Zone Science and Technology Talent Bureau, said.

  High-tech enterprises operate efficiently

  High-tech enterprise groups have gradually become the main force of scientific and technological innovation. At present, there are 278,000 high-tech enterprises in China, accounting for only 0.6% of the total number of enterprises in the country, but the R&D expenditure is as high as 1.33 trillion yuan, exceeding 70% of the R&D expenditure of enterprises in the country.

  Some high-tech leading enterprises aim at the future and increase investment.

  At the Guangzhou Auto Show on November 18th, Iflytek Smart Car unveiled many intelligent interactive products, and officially released a set of "Flying Fish Intelligent Audio Management System". Advanced sound algorithms such as 3D immersion surround sound with independent intellectual property rights can instantly restore audio with high quality, bringing users a richer and fuller listening experience.

  "The automobile has a long industrial chain and high technical complexity. In the context of the Internet of Everything, the automobile has become one of the main battlefields for the application of artificial intelligence." Wu Xiaoru, president of Iflytek, said that at present, Iflytek is making joint efforts from many aspects, such as intelligent interaction, intelligent service and intelligent sound field, to help the automobile industry upgrade in an all-round way.

  With the rise of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the global intelligent networked automobile industry has ushered in a new major historical development opportunity. Iflytek has been deeply involved in the automobile field for 18 years, and delivered more than 1,000 models, with a front-mounted capacity of over 31 million and an annual installed capacity of over 6 million.

  Some traditional industrial enterprises use technology to drive transformation and upgrading.

  Xin ‘an Chemical is a leading enterprise in glyphosate production industry in China. In view of the widespread phenomenon of "flue gas tailing" in the industry, Xin’ an Chemical has stepped up scientific and technological research and pioneered the "deep treatment technology of directional conversion flue gas" nationwide; More than 20 million yuan was invested in six new projects of tail gas treatment technology after the production of glyphosate by-product crude phosphate. The flue gas treatment system of directional conversion unit realized the upgrading of the process and the upgrading of environmental protection devices.

  Yu Meidong, director of phosphate plant in Xin ‘an Chemical Industry, introduced that the technology deeply treated the directional conversion flue gas and realized the ultra-low emission of tail gas from chemical production. "We believe that the enterprises that take the lead in bid upgrading can gain market opportunities and realize transformation and development."

  High-quality input brings high-quality output. According to the statistics of China National Intellectual Property Administration, by the end of September 2021, high-tech enterprises had 5.617 million valid patents, an increase of 15.8% over the same period of last year, including 1.127 million valid invention patents, an increase of 20.1% over the same period of last year.

  The cultivation and development of high-tech enterprises has become an important starting point for all localities to promote high-quality economic development. According to statistics, from January to August this year, the number of industrial high-tech enterprises in China exceeded 101,000, accounting for 25.1% of the total industrial enterprises in China, with 37.3% of the total assets, achieving 33.4% of operating income and 40.3% of total profits.

  "In the first three quarters, high-tech enterprises generally operated well, and the benefit indicators were generally better than the national level." Jia Jingdun said.

  The vitality of innovation and entrepreneurship continues to be released.

  In 2021, China’s "double innovation" vitality continued in generate, and its innovation and entrepreneurship continued to upgrade. Scientific research institutions took the initiative to connect with the market, and the total transaction volume of technology contracts increased significantly.

  In recent years, the Institute of Microbiology of China Academy of Sciences has made outstanding achievements in the fields of recombination vaccines in COVID-19, therapeutic antibodies, low-carbon intellectual production in polyamide industry and cultivation of innovative crop varieties with disease resistance, resulting in a market value of over 100 billion yuan. Qian Wei, director of the Institute, said that the Institute’s major needs and goals lead to basic research, and in the core innovation fields such as "microbial frontier", "life and health" and "green and low-carbon sustainable development", it has established an efficient linkage mechanism with "innovation chain driving the industrial chain", focused on major tasks and objectives, and solved outstanding problems in reality with modern biotechnology such as modern vaccines, gene editing, synthetic organisms and microbiome as sharp edges.

  "The Torch Center will speed up the improvement of the market-oriented allocation system and mechanism of technical factors, and continuously open the channels for technical factors to enter the economic system and industrial system." Jia Jingdun introduced that as of September 20, 2021, a total of 347,748 technology contracts were registered, with a turnover of 2,071.98 billion yuan, up 33.4% and 45.6% respectively, and the total transaction volume of technology contracts continued to grow.

  The service capacity of scientific and technological innovation carriers has been continuously improved, helping enterprises tide over the epidemic situation.

  In the first three quarters of this year, there were 46,000 creative teams of 1,692 creative space services submitted by 2,251 countries for record, and the total rent reduction for entrepreneurial teams and start-ups was 210 million yuan; Among the 1,287 state-level science and technology business incubators, 91,000 enterprises are incubating in 1,093 incubators, and the total rent reduction for incubating enterprises is 370 million yuan; Among the 139 national university science parks, 103 submitted statistics reduced or exempted the rent by 38.067 million yuan for incubating enterprises.

  Yang Bin, president of China Science and Technology Development Institute, said that up to now, the incubation system of China Development Institute has operated 30 incubation carriers nationwide, with 1,815 incubating enterprises and 1,164 graduated enterprises. "After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, in order to cope with the operational difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises, the China Development Institute actively responded to national policies. The Shenzhen Incubation Base and the national holding bases successively reduced the rent and incubation service fees for small and medium-sized technology enterprises, reaching 17 million yuan."

  Science and technology enterprises have received continuous support from financial institutions, and technology stocks have increasingly become the main force in the capital market.

  According to statistics, by the end of August, 51.1% of high-tech enterprises had received loan support from financial institutions, and the number of high-tech enterprises that received loan support increased by 5,655 compared with the beginning of the year; The loan balance of 142,000 high-tech enterprises was 8,868.77 billion yuan, with an average loan support of 62.466 million yuan for each enterprise; The loan rate of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises was 42.9%, and the number of enterprises supported by loans increased by 5,723 compared with the beginning of the year, and the accumulated loan amount exceeded 1 trillion yuan.

Restart the decline of word of mouth, can it rise without Caesar’s "gorilla ball"?


Special feature of 1905 film network Eleven years ago, Caesar, an orangutan who was awakened unexpectedly by human experiments, launched a six-year-long battle for the freedom of the apes. Seven years after the departure of leader Caesar, the ape flu hit and a new world in which apes were in an upside-down situation began … … Iterative special effects technology, renewed role setting and reconstructed world outlook are still incompatible with each other. However, after the film was released recently, it suffered a "triple jump" in the first weekend, and its score was far less than that of the first trilogy in the series.



In this program, we invite Huang Haikun, editor-in-chief of Watching Movies magazine, to talk with us about whether we can rise without Caesar’s "Planet of the Apes".




Realistic special effects


Score: ★★★★☆☆


Have the courage to make innovations


Score: ★★★★☆☆



The special effects in the film are so subtle that the hair texture of apes and other animals is also restored. By observing the face of an ape, the audience can see its sex, age and even its personality.


"But technology will always serve stories, characters and emotions. If these three are not established, technology can only give the audience a temporary stimulus." Huang Haikun commented.


New protagonist: Noah


The protagonist of Rise of the Planet of the Apes: A New World has changed from Caesar to Noah, a young ape. Can the appearance of Noah meet the audience’s expectations for the protagonist?


Caesar VS Noah


In this "battle for the leading role", Huang Haikun awarded the gold medal to Caesar. Caesar, as the protagonist of the first three films, left a deep impression on the audience. It is like the ancestor of human beings who bravely took the first step and fell underground from the trees in the virgin forest, with a far-sighted vision beyond that of ordinary apes. The audience accompanied Caesar’s growth in the process of watching the movie, watching him pry open a light from the ignorant animal nature, watching him gradually realize the problems between human beings and apes, and then leading the whole apes to their own homes.



"When Caesar shouted’ No’ to mankind, the shock at that moment was far greater than all the battle scenes in the second and third films. At that moment, I felt that the world view of this film was grand and profound, "Huang Haikun said.



Different from Caesar’s arc, Rise of the Planet of the Apes: A New World basically follows the general formula of "classical hero modeling": Departure — — Enlightenment — — Test — — Go home. Noah’s growth process is like that of an adolescent. He is eager to prove himself, but he makes mistakes again and again. Only when the whole home is destroyed does he suddenly wake up and stand up again from the ruins. Compared with Caesar, Noah’s growing history lacks the awakening process of "humanity".



After seven years of disobedience, I lost Caesar’s "Scarlet Ball" restart, failed to undertake the glory of the first three films, and fell into a new round of word-of-mouth polarization. Some viewers commented that "the script of the film is full of AI feeling, the rhythm is dragging, it is long and mediocre, and it makes people sleepy", and even joked that the film is "a model of using the best technology to make the worst movie". So why is the fourth film so controversial? Huang Haikun gave the answer from the perspective of script creation.



"Slogan style" subverts the world outlook and lacks details.


In the fourth film, the screenwriter bravely subverts the settings of the first three films, shifting the narrative focus of the film from human beings to apes, breaking the settings in the first three films that human civilization is dominant and the minority represented by Caesar resists the tyrannical power in human society, transforming the dominant civilization of the earth into the civilization of apes, and the intelligence level of human beings is suddenly reduced to the state of infants and young children. In order to establish this new ecology, the film spent a long time talking about the tribal struggle of the apes, which led to top-heaviness.



The play is out of balance, so it is difficult for the audience to project their feelings for the role.


Secondly, the creator misjudged the audience’s expectations of watching movies. The film emphasizes literature and drama, ignoring the grand war scenes expected by the audience. At the same time, due to the innovation of setting, the narrative of the film requires the audience to substitute from the perspective of apes, while most of the audience are used to watching it from the perspective of human beings, which separates the emotional resonance between the film and the audience.




Creation should have the courage not to stick to the previous work, just like human civilization and ape civilization, from germination to development, we need to experience the exploration of the earth and the universe. Brave "navigators" are needed to constantly explore unknown areas.



At the end of the program, Huang Haikun looked forward to the future development of the "The Planet of the Apes" series films: "In such a film about people and orangutans, I saw the romantic communication between civilizations, and I think it can make an epic temperament in the future."




People’s Forum Online Comment | Strive to be loyal to the party, live up to the people, noble and pure.

     In his important speech at the opening ceremony of the training course for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National School of Administration) in the spring semester of 2022, the Supreme Leader stressed that young cadres are the hope of the development of the cause of the party and the country, and they must build a solid foundation of ideals and beliefs, keep the defense line against corruption and change, establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, practice excellent skills, carry forward the spirit of responsibility and struggle, implement the party’s mass line, temper their political character of loyalty to the party, establish their feelings of being loyal to the people’s home country, and pursue noble and pure thoughts. The earnest words are full of deep affection and ardent expectations, which points out the direction for the healthy growth of young cadres. To this end, it is necessary to profoundly study and comprehend, strictly benchmark the table, work hard to implement it, and create achievements worthy of the party, the people and the times.

  Temper the political character of loyalty to the party."The greatest virtue in the world is loyalty." For party member cadres, the first political character is loyalty to the party. "Loyalty to the party and never betraying the party" is written in the pledge of joining the party, which is the most fundamental requirement for party member. Along the way, our party has experienced numerous dangers and hardships, but no difficulties have overwhelmed us, and no enemy has been able to defeat us, relying on the loyalty of Qian Qian and party member. Young cadres are a new force in the development of the cause of the party and the country when they are born in great times. Only when they are politically hard can they be strong in action. Therefore, it is even more important to be loyal to the party, practice hard work and do real work, and always believe in and love the party for the party. We should strengthen our ideals and beliefs, strengthen our theoretical arms, resolutely be loyal to the Party’s theory, resolutely take the Party’s banner as the banner, arm our minds with truth, strengthen the cultivation of party spirit, build a solid foundation of faith, supplement the calcium of the spirit, keep our mind on the rudder, and take the belief in Marxism and Socialism with Chinese characteristics as our lifelong pursuit; We should do the "two maintenance", observe the "four obedience", resolutely perform the duties of party member, resolutely undertake the obligations of party members, take a clear-cut stand on politics, believe in, rely on and obey the organization, and be more determined and effective in supporting the party’s program, observing the party’s articles of association, fulfilling the obligations of party members, implementing the party’s decisions, strictly observing the party’s discipline and keeping the secrets of the Conservative Party.

  Establish the feelings of home and country that live up to the people."Jiangshan is the people, and the people are Jiangshan." Taking the people as the center is the fundamental political position of our party; Living up to the people is a distinct lofty feeling of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people. The party unites and leads the people in revolution, construction and reform, the fundamental purpose of which is to make the people live a better life. No matter how much challenges and pressures they face, no matter how much sacrifices and costs they pay, this point will remain unshakable and unshakable. Since the beginning of politics, young cadres should firmly establish people’s feelings, take the benefit of the people as their greatest achievement, deeply understand and grasp the profound connotation of "the times are the writers, we are the respondents and the people are the reviewers", solve the problem of "why, what and what to keep" in politics from the perspective of political achievements, and insist on realizing, safeguarding and developing the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of all work, and persist in developing for the people. We should cultivate the spiritual realm that I will be selfless and live up to the people, maintain the attitude of "I don’t have to be successful", truly regard myself as a member of the masses, take the affairs of the masses as our own business, do everything with public interests at heart, regardless of personal gains and losses, and achieve "selfless world and wide heart", and win the good reputation of the people with tangible achievements.

  Pursue noble and pure ideological realm."Being honest and upright, being honest and upright." Honesty is the most innocent background of communist party people. If party member cadres’ morality declines, their personal morality is chaotic, and their morality falls and their behavior is out of order, they will naturally be plagued with problems and will only ruin themselves in the end. Especially for young cadres, it is even more important to tie the "first button" of honesty and politics, so that nobility and purity can run through and become character. We should be self-vigilant, cautious and independent, fully inherit and carry forward the fine style of hard work, cultivate our positive, healthy and clean life interest, be honest with Ming Dow and Wilder, dust off "ideological dust" diligently, think more about "greed" and often break the "thief in the heart", and ensure that there is no rash thinking inside and no rash action outside. The more unsupervised and unsupervised, the more we must hold the ruler. We should be awed and stop what we do, always refer to the party’s theory, line, principles and policies, party constitution’s party rules and regulations, and our initial mission, see clearly whether something should be done or not, always remain sober and firm, exert ourselves to restrain our words and deeds, be alert to minor matters, and always do not deviate from the line, cross the line, and do things cleanly.The Communist Party of China (CPC) people will always be honest and clean.

News Analysis: Promoting High-quality Development with Tariff Adjustment —— Analysis of China’s new tariff regulations in 2022

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 15th Topic: News Analysis: Promoting High-quality Development with Tariff Adjustment —— Analysis of China’s new tariff regulations in 2022

Xinhua News Agency reporter Shen Cheng, Liu Hongxia

At the end of each year, China will adjust the tariff rate of some imported goods according to the economic and social development. With the approval of the State Council, the State Council Customs Tariff Commission issued a notice on 15th, clarifying the tariff adjustment plan for 2022.

Experts and industry insiders interviewed by Xinhua News Agency said that this adjustment has reduced tariffs on some medical products, consumer goods, key components and other imported goods, which will further meet the needs of people’s lives, enterprise production and social development, help maintain the security and stability of the domestic industrial chain supply chain, support scientific and technological innovation and industrial transformation and upgrading, expand high-level opening up and promote high-quality development.

Focus on people’s livelihood concerns and adjust the provisional tax rates for some medical products and consumer goods.

From January 1, 2022, China will impose a provisional import tax rate lower than the most-favored-nation tax rate on 954 commodities.

The reporter checked the schedule of the notice and found that many of the imported goods that adjusted the provisional tax rate were medical products related to people’s livelihood, such as new anticancer drug radium chloride injection, intracranial embolectomy stent, artificial joint and so on.

Wang Jun, director of the Department of Neurointervention, Department of Neurology, PLA General Hospital, paid special attention to the product of intracranial embolectomy stent. "Intracranial embolectomy stent is a kind of instrument to take out the formed cerebral thrombosis. After reducing the import tariff this time, it will reduce the cost of the instrument and reduce the treatment cost for patients."

Since 2018, China has successively cancelled the tariffs on the first and second batches of anticancer drugs, raw materials for rare diseases and some alkaloids used to treat asthma, reducing the import tariffs on artificial heart valves, hearing AIDS and other medical equipment. "Looking back at the tentative tax rate adjustment in recent years, the goal of reducing the economic burden of patients and improving people’s health and well-being is clear." Xu Guangjian, a professor at the School of Public Administration of Renmin University of China, said.

The notice clearly stated that in 2022, import tariffs on some consumer goods will be reduced, including high-quality aquatic products such as salmon and cod, baby clothes, dishwashers, ski equipment, etc. It will also impose zero tariffs on works of art such as oil paintings over 100 years old.

"Reducing import tariffs on these products closely related to people’s lives can better meet people’s consumption upgrading needs and better meet people’s yearning for a better life." Guo Yongxin, secretary general of China National Light Industry Federation, said.

Promote transformation and upgrading, and adjust the provisional tax rates for some environmental products and key components.

Promoting green and low-carbon development is a highlight of this tariff adjustment. According to the notice, in 2022, import tariffs will be reduced for gasoline engine particulate traps, electronic throttle valves for automobiles, and peat that can be used for soil remediation.

Huang Yonghe, a senior expert at China Automotive Technology and Research Center, said that gasoline engine particulate traps, electronic throttle valves and other products are important parts to promote energy saving and emission reduction of automobiles. After reducing tariffs, it will help support the green and low-carbon development of the automobile industry.

A number of tariff adjustments help optimize and upgrade the manufacturing industry. For example, in 2022, the import tariffs on key parts such as high purity graphite accessories, high-voltage cables for high-speed trains, membrane electrode assemblies and bipolar plates for fuel cells will be reduced, and the import tariffs on raw materials needed by food processing, daily chemical and leather manufacturing industries such as cocoa beans, plant essential oils and animal skins will be reduced.

In addition, from July 1, 2022, China will also implement the seventh step of reducing the MFN tariff rate of 62 information technology products, and its average tax rate will be reduced from 3.4% to 1.7%.

According to industry insiders, these measures are based on domestic development needs, which is conducive to maintaining the security and stability of the domestic industrial chain supply chain, supporting scientific and technological innovation and industrial transformation and upgrading, and promoting green and low-carbon development.

Promote high-level opening to the outside world and adjust the relevant agreed tax rates.

In order to continuously promote high-level opening up, according to the free trade agreements and preferential trade arrangements signed between China and relevant countries or regions, some commodities originating in 29 countries or regions will be subject to agreed tax rates in 2022.

Among them, China and New Zealand, Peru, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Iceland, South Korea, Australia, Pakistan, Georgia, Mauritius and other bilateral free trade agreements and Asia-Pacific trade agreements will further reduce taxes; Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and China-Cambodia Free Trade Agreement came into effect on January 1, 2022, and tax reduction was implemented.

It is worth noting that the China-Cambodia FTA is the first FTA between China and the least developed countries. "China and Cambodia have given each other 97.5% and 90% of the tax items for zero-tariff products in goods trade, which is the highest level in all FTA negotiations between the two sides so far and will help enhance the well-being of enterprises and people of the two countries." The relevant person in charge of the Customs Department of the Ministry of Finance said.

In terms of regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement, China will reach a tariff concession arrangement with Japan for the first time. "In the first year of tax reduction, according to the tariff items in 2022, China and Japan will immediately implement zero tariffs on tax items originating in the other side of 24.9% and 55.5% respectively. For related companies, more market opportunities will soon be available. " Cui Fan, a professor at university of international business and economics, said.

In addition, the reporter learned that the State Council Customs Tariff Commission issued an announcement on the same day, expanding the range of products exported to China by the least developed countries that have established diplomatic relations with China, giving the least developed countries 98% of the tax items with zero tariff treatment, and agricultural products such as peanut oil and chemicals such as polyethylene will be included in the scope of zero tariff treatment.

"This will further promote China’s imports from relevant African countries, promote the construction of a high-level community of destiny between China and Africa, further share market opportunities with the least developed countries, and practice mutual benefit and win-win." The relevant person in charge of the Customs Department of the Ministry of Finance said.

In order to make the coal market return to rationality as soon as possible, the National Development and Reform Commission conducted a special investigation on coal price and cost.

CCTV News:In order to further strengthen the joint supervision of the spot market in the coal period, reduce the excessive coal price to a reasonable level as soon as possible, and make the coal market return to rationality, recently, the price department of the National Development and Reform Commission, on the basis of organizing local cost surveys of coal production and circulation enterprises, together with the price cost survey center, formed a number of investigation teams to conduct on-the-spot investigations on key coal production enterprises and circulation enterprises in relevant provinces, providing a basis for determining the reasonable range of coal prices and stopping coal enterprises from profiteering.

The investigation team will conduct a comprehensive investigation on the production cost, profit, output, inventory and price of coal production enterprises according to law, and conduct in-depth verification on the purchase and sale price, circulation cost, profit and inventory of circulation enterprises. The National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, will severely crack down on illegal acts found in the investigation, such as price gouging, hoarding, colluding to manipulate market prices, fabricating and spreading price increase information, etc.

How do children charge during the summer vacation? Play or take a training class? Poke text

  When the summer vacation comes every year, there are always many children who start their vacation with preview — — Young and small, small and early, rising at the beginning, a seemingly homework-free transition period.

  Should children be allowed to play freely or go to training classes? Many parents are confused.

  Yesterday, the reporter interviewed a number of well-known primary and secondary school teachers and compiled a summer guide for the transition period.

  What if my son is naughty?

  Ms. Jiang, a 34-year-old single mother who lives in Longxi Town, Yubei District, is very worried about her son Lele. She will enter Longxi Primary School in Yubei District next semester, but now she plays mobile phones and watches cartoons at her grandparents’ home every day.

  She said, "I’m afraid my children can’t keep up with them when they go to primary school, but I don’t know what to do."

  Ms. Jiang said that her son was naughty, because she was busy with work and didn’t have much time to discipline, and she was worried that it would be difficult for her son to integrate into the group after attending primary school.

  How to make a daughter develop in an all-round way?

  After the summer vacation, Deng Shujun, who lives in Binxin Jiangnan era in Banan District, still sends her daughter Qiqi to kindergarten every morning to attend a small transition class. Qiqi is 6 years old and will soon enter Songhua River Primary School.

  Deng Shujun feels that her daughter needs to adapt to the life and study in primary school in advance. She said that her daughter has been in a young bridging class for 10 days. In addition to the schedule and the primary school, the classroom knowledge is close to the primary school. "Kiki is quite used to it, but I don’t know if I can adapt as soon as I really enter primary school."

  In addition to enrolling her daughter in a one-month transition class, Deng Shujun plans to enroll in a language class and a painting class next month. "I hope my daughter will develop in an all-round way." Deng Shujun said.

  The interviewed teachers believe that this summer vacation, parents can let their children preview and experience the primary school curriculum properly by guiding and letting their children read the connecting classes. The most important thing is to cultivate children’s good habits and let them lay a good psychological foundation.

  Develop good habits of work and rest

  Tang Jing, a math teacher at Majiapu Primary School, said that after entering the primary school, the school has strict requirements, and the school time is early. Children can’t sleep late, can’t procrastinate, can’t be late casually, and can’t ask for leave casually. The noon nap time is cancelled, and the study schedule is more compact. Every specific time has specific things to do.

  Tang Jing suggested that parents:

  First of all, in order to let children develop good habits of work and rest, in addition to letting children go to the young transition class, they should also adjust their work and rest time appropriately, get up at around 7 o’clock every day, go to bed at 9 o’clock in the evening, and shorten the nap time appropriately. Before and after dinner, parents should discuss some activities with their children, such as painting, playing the piano, playing with toys, reading books, etc., so that children’s lives are full of rhythm.

  Secondly, let the children form the habit of packing their own things, and let the children sort out toys and articles and put them in categories. Teach children to put away their things, where they took them and where they put them at the end of painting, reading storybooks and learning. Let children gradually develop the habit of checking school supplies every day according to their learning situation.

  Third, develop good homework habits, including the habit of doing homework first and then playing after returning home; The habit of calming down and concentrating on homework. Never eat for a while, watch TV for a while and do other things for a while. In addition, it is necessary to cultivate children’s habit of completing homework independently.

  Instill a certain safety awareness.

  Wang Ling, a Chinese teacher at Coral Primary School, said that children who have just entered the first grade are weak in acceptance, and it is difficult for them to adapt to school life for a while. She suggested that parents should exercise their children’s will quality during the holidays and let them know some school rules in advance.

  Secondly, cultivate children to treat their own shortcomings correctly. Many children play games with their classmates in the first grade, but they don’t want to admit it when they lose, and they will make a scene. Parents should take advantage of the summer vacation to correct their children’s personality weaknesses and give them more education on collective spirit.

  In addition, because primary school life is more independent than kindergarten, parents should also instill a certain sense of safety in children.

  It’s easy to be partial if you’re not careful?

  13-year-old Youyou graduated from Liangping’s hometown primary school this summer and moved into her new home in Chunyu Jiangshan Community, Yuzhong District. In more than a month, she will enter Daping Middle School.

  My 27-year-old sister reminded Youyou that junior high school subjects are not as monotonous as primary schools, and it is easy to be partial if you are not careful. To this end, my sister found some summer vacation strategies from the internet, so that my sister could digest and learn by herself. In addition, my sister also arranged for my sister to practice calligraphy, learn to take photos, participate in outdoor activities, etc., and also bought study materials and some seventh-grade papers.

  "My family is more nervous than me." Travel lobbying, although this summer vacation was not arranged by my family, the study time was quite full. "I am full of expectations for the new study life in junior high school."

  Mathematics is a weakness. How to improve it?

  13-year-old Yueyue lives in Tongyuan Community in Banan District. She went to primary school in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and will return to Chongqing to attend middle school in September.

  Yueyue said that she was a little nervous and was about to enter a new school, meet new classmates and learn different subjects. Therefore, she will preview the textbooks at home this summer vacation.

  "Primary schools are mainly Chinese, mathematics and English, and there are more subjects in junior high school. With so many subjects, I am worried that my daughter can’t adapt at once, and I don’t know how to make her adapt as soon as possible. " Ms. Wang, the mother of Yueyue, told reporters that her education level is not high, and she doesn’t know how to help her children study this summer vacation. "From the perspective of primary school performance, my daughter’s mathematics is a weakness. I heard that girls went to junior high school and it was more difficult for them to learn math than boys. I handed over the burden of tutoring to her brother, arranged to preview junior high school math, and bought a junior high school exercise book to practice in advance. "

  老师建议》》

  Entering junior high school, subjects have increased a lot. The reporter interviewed teachers from Chongqing No.29 Middle School, Chongqing Foreign Language School and Chongqing Daping Middle School. Teachers said that junior high school is the sublimation of primary school, junior high school students’ lives are more independent, and their study subjects have increased. The focus of the subjects is mainly on the number of languages, and physics and chemistry begin to learn in the second and third grades respectively.

  Teachers of different subjects gave suggestions for connecting the summer vacation of Xiaoshengchu.

  Language: Read one hour of famous books every day.

  Wu Lianzi, a Chinese teacher from the 29th Chinese Language School, said that junior high school students should pay more attention to reading and read for more than one hour every day. The Journey to the West and Luxun are required readings, and Sun Li’s Baiyangdian, Li Ruzhen’s Flowers in the Mirror, Turgenev’s Notes on Hunters and Shen Congwen’s Notes on Xiangxing are also selected readings.

  After reading every day, make some reading notes, including reading content, wonderful paragraphs, feelings and experiences.

  It is also necessary to practice calligraphy. Choose your own block letters and copy one page every day.

  Mathematics: improving abstract logical thinking ability

  Deng Zejuan, a math teacher from No.29 Middle School, said that algebra started to be studied in the first grade. This subject is closely related to old and new knowledge, with strong concepts, enhanced spatial imagination and higher requirements for abstract logical thinking. In addition to the deepening and expansion of teaching content, middle school teaching methods are also different from primary schools, which requires students to improve their learning methods, improve their learning ability and gradually develop their abstract thinking ability.

  This summer vacation, you can preview the knowledge of rational numbers and algebraic expression operation in Grade One (I). Consolidate and strengthen the knowledge and ability related to primary school and junior high school, such as doing four operations of fractions and finding the areas of triangles, parallelograms, trapezoid, circles, irregular polygons, etc. Read books about the history of mathematics or interesting mathematics, such as Mathematical Legends Not Heard in Class: Junior High School Edition, Junior High School Teaching, etc.

  English: Watch the original "Home alone"

  Li Fanlun, an English teacher at Chongqing Foreign Languages School, said that in terms of teaching methods, English classes in primary schools pay more attention to cultivating students’ interests, and attract students’ attention through colorful classroom activities so that students don’t feel bored. Junior high school teachers pay more attention to systematic learning of knowledge.

  It is suggested to practice English writing more during the summer vacation, review primary school English knowledge, recite words, read original English books and watch English movies, such as Home Alone, Finding Nemo and The Wizard of Oz.

  It is also a good choice to participate in Xiaoshengchu Summer Camp, which includes various activities such as sports, singing and dancing, talking with foreign teachers and experiencing advanced teaching.

  Others: Pay attention to domestic and international events.

  Teachers from No.29 Middle School and Daping Middle School suggested:

  1. Preview the teaching materials in advance, read through the teaching materials, and focus on previewing the contents of the previous chapters.

  2. Watch CCTV news broadcast every day and pay attention to domestic and international events.

  3. Read The Complete Works of Chinese Five Thousand Years Up and Down (Literary Edition) to broaden your horizons.

  The world is so big, go out and have a look, learn about history, increase your knowledge and enrich your life during the tour.

  5. Do more physical science experiments.

  6. Before learning chemistry, the most important thing is to memorize the chemical language, including reciting the periodic table of elements and chemical equations.

  Will you encounter a duel in the first year of high school?

  Dai Song, a 15-year-old member, graduated from Sungang Middle School in Shenzhen in junior high school and will soon return to Chongqing to attend senior high school.

  Member Dai Song said that although he learned something about the study and life in senior high schools from his classmates, he was still worried. "Compared with junior high school, will there be a big difference, especially in the difficulty of subjects? Is it step by step or suddenly?"

  For the arrangement of this summer vacation, member Dai Song wants to go out for a month to relax, and then preview some contents of high school, with the emphasis on science. "The friends around me are in remedial classes. I may also sign up and learn something in advance. It may be easier to go to high school."

  要不要沿用初中那一套?

  即将上高二的杨莎,16岁,就读重庆市第十一中学校。回忆两年前中考完的那个暑假,至今后悔不迭。

  杨莎说,经历了中考以后,整个人放松下来,要么天天看电视、上网,要么外出旅游,根本没有安排时间预习,导致刚上高一时陷入迷茫中。

  杨莎说,高一课程无论数量还是难度,比初中增加不少。对她来说,语文、英语还好对付,数学、物理、化学就吃力了。“我没有及时调整学习方法,仍沿用初中那一套,认为只要上课听懂了就行,不注重提炼总结。再加上,我没有提前预习高中理科的相关课程,学习总是偏被动,久而久之,就被拉开了差距。”杨莎说,足足经过了近一学期调整,总算找回了状态。“如果时间能够倒流,我一定会在那个暑假制定一些学习计划,让自己尽快适应高一,不至于经历一些不必要的心理落差。”

  老师建议》》

  重庆第二外国语学校党政办公室主任彭光勇表示,进入高中后,如果没有良好的学习态度,缺乏科学有效的学习方法和刻苦钻研精神,初中的尖子生很容易滑落下来。

  For this critical transition period, the teacher of Chongqing Second Foreign Language School gave some suggestions.

  Chinese: Reciting articles must be recited.

  1. Look at the news and accumulate as many headlines as possible.

  2. Recharge reading, and recommend Youth Digest, The Analects of Confucius and Yi Zhongtian’s China Wisdom.

  3. Recite all the basic articles required to be recited in junior high school. Because, the college entrance examination must have 64 articles, including 50 junior high schools.

  4. Prepare the ancient Chinese dictionary (business press), the sixth edition of the modern Chinese dictionary (business press), and the Chinese knowledge manual for senior high school.

  Math: Poor junior high school foundation makes it harder to refuel.

  1. Review the old and learn the new, and learn more about junior high school knowledge, such as factorization of quadratic trinomial, cubic and cubic difference formulas, complete square and cubic formulas, image properties of quadratic function, root formula of quadratic equation with one variable, vieta theorem (relationship between roots and coefficients) and so on.

  2. Start ahead and preview a compulsory textbook for senior high school mathematics. If the foundation of junior high school is weak, it is even more necessary to make use of holiday time to make up for it, so as to lay a good foundation for learning senior high school courses well.

  English: Learn to sing more English songs.

  During the holidays, it is recommended to do at least one thing related to English every day:

  1. Cultivate reading habits, cultivate a sense of language, and improve language understanding.

  2. Practice writing, neat and beautiful.

  Learn to sing at least one English song and recommend Heal the World, Lemon Tree and Yesterday Once More.

  Others: Watch the news broadcast every day.

  Politics: 1. Learn to get effective information from TV and Internet, and enrich your vision and mind; 2. Watch CCTV news broadcast and focus interview every day.

  Physics: 1. Borrow a compulsory physics textbook for senior one, buy a physics reference book for senior one, preview each section, take notes, memorize concepts and formulas, and finish homework after class; 2. Do a little experiment in the textbook and experience the mystery of physics.

  Chemistry: 1. Master the reading and writing methods of the most common chemical terms; 2. Preview the first chemistry textbook, complete at least the first two chapters, do exercises after class, and get a preliminary understanding of the learning content, textbook presentation and learning methods in senior high school.

  Biology: 1. Read through the four volumes of junior high school, especially the structure of cells, the use of microscopes, the structure and physiology of human body, the life of green flowering plants, ecology and other contents, which are necessary knowledge reserves for senior high school biology learning; 2. Borrow a compulsory textbook from the People’s Education Edition of senior high school courses, and focus on previewing the first four chapters.

  History: 1. Take a look at junior high school history textbooks, sort out major events at home and abroad, and describe the ins and outs of events and their interrelationships; 2. Watch a little historical film and television literature.

  Geography: 1. Review the four books of junior high school geography and sort out the knowledge framework, because junior high school geography is an important part of the college entrance examination and the basis for learning senior high school geography well; 2. Buy a map of China and the world administrative regions.

Express delivery with insured price of 20,000 yuan will only compensate 250 yuan for the damage? Be careful of these "hidden rules" of express delivery!

  CCTV News:Recently, Mr. Zhong from Beijing mailed a medical device worth 980,000 yuan by SF Express, and he bought 20,000 yuan for insurance and 100 yuan for fear of accidents during transportation. It is found that the express mail is damaged when signing, and it will cost 10 thousand yuan to repair it. Mr. Zhong thought that he had bought 20,000 yuan, and this maintenance fee must be settled. However, when he provided relevant credentials to the courier company, the other party said that he could only pay 250 yuan.

  In response to this customer service, what Mr. Zhong did this time was part of the insured price, which can only be compensated in proportion. In order to get the insured amount of 20 thousand yuan, he should choose the full insured amount.

  SF Express Customer Service:If it’s worth 100,000 yuan, and you insured it for 100,000 yuan, your later maintenance cost will be 10,000 yuan. Under normal circumstances, we will pay you 10,000 yuan in full. If you say that the value of this item is 100,000 yuan, and you insured it for 10,000 yuan, it is not fully insured, then it will generate a proportion of compensation, which is the amount insured by you divided by the actual value of the item and multiplied by your actual loss.

  According to the customer service, the insured price of 20,000 yuan is divided by the equipment of 980,000 yuan, and the compensation ratio is 2%, and the maintenance cost of more than 10,000 yuan is multiplied by 2%, and the final amount that the enterprise needs to pay is 250 yuan.

  Consumer Mr. Zhong:I calculated the goods of 980,000 yuan, and if the price is to be preserved, it will be about 25,000 to 30,000 yuan. I don’t have that much to deliver directly by plane, so there is a big misunderstanding in this thing.

  Is it reasonable and legal to pay in proportion for the damage of express delivery?

  The reporter learned that at present, all express delivery companies have formulated their own insurance standards.

  SF Express has no limit on the value of a single express delivery. The lowest 1 yuan can insure the goods within 500 yuan, and more than 1,000 yuan is charged at five thousandths of the value of the goods;

  The insured fees of Yunda, Shentong and ZTO Express are all charged at 3% of the insured amount, and the upper limit of the value of a single express is 20,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan respectively;

  The value of a single express of Yuantong Express does not exceed 30,000 yuan, the lowest 1 yuan can insure the goods within 1,000 yuan, the premium of 1,000 to 2,000 yuan is 2 yuan, and 2,000 to 10,000 yuan and 10,000 to 30,000 yuan are charged according to 3% and 5% of the insured amount respectively;

  Best Express has a maximum insured price of 10,000 yuan, and the insured fee is charged at 1% of the actual value of the goods.

  The so-called proportional compensation actually refers to the rules of postal insurance in the Postal Law. Article 47 of China’s Postal Law stipulates that postal enterprises should compensate for the loss of vouched mail according to the following provisions: if the insured vouched mail is lost or completely damaged, it should be compensated according to the insured amount; If it is partially damaged or the internal parts are short, the actual loss of the mail shall be compensated according to the ratio of the insured amount to the total value of the mail.

  Experts believe that express delivery service is a transportation contract service. As long as the express delivery company undertakes express delivery, it should pay for the risks involved. The insurance regulations in the Postal Law are not applicable to express delivery companies.

  By default, the clause is checked, and the setting is unclear, which infringes on consumers’ rights and interests

  It seems that there is a certain legal source for the express delivery company to pay in proportion. As far as we know, Mr. Zhong still felt dissatisfied after the customer service responded, so he called 12315 to reflect the situation. With the assistance of 12315 platform, SF paid Mr. Zhong 1000 yuan after many times of communication and negotiation.

  However, whether in 250 yuan or 1000 yuan, for Mr. Zhong, his rights and interests have not been fully protected. What is the problem?

  The reporter learned that most consumers generally understand that the insured amount of express delivery is equal to the amount of compensation that consumers can get. The customer service staff of the courier company said that consumers can see the relevant regulations when paying, but there are still consumers who are not clear.

  Consumer Mr. Deng:Every time you send an express delivery, the express delivery terms are checked by default, so just pay directly.

  The reporter logged into the "sent items" business pages of several courier companies and found that there were some "hidden rules" due to the unclear setting of the "Express Service Terms" of the courier companies. Some terms have been checked by default, while others cannot be paid without checking.

  Some experts believe that this is a violation of consumers’ right to know and choose.

  Lawyers suggest that in this case, consumers can protect their rights through the Contract Law. However, Article 311 and Article 54 of the Contract Law respectively stipulate the compensation for loss of goods and the compensation stipulated in unreasonable contracts.

  Wu Xuemei, Member of Postal Legal Affairs Committee of Beijing Lawyers Association:In fact, the contract law clearly stipulates that if losses are caused to the sender’s goods, it should be compensated according to the law. If there is still a sender who thinks that the agreement in the insured clause is illegal, unfair, or infringed, then he can apply to the court to determine that this clause is invalid, or immediately revoke it.

  Insured price does not mean that insurance express pays in proportion, which is reasonable.

  Since there are no other laws and regulations that clearly stipulate the insured compensation for express delivery, all express delivery companies have formulated their own compensation standards. It must be admitted that it is reasonable to compensate for the partial damage of express goods according to the proportion of lost value. For express delivery companies, buying insurance is not buying insurance. If you don’t pay in proportion, it means that the transportation risk of high-value goods is much higher than the transportation income. In the end, enterprises will reject high-value express mail in order to reduce the risk, and consumers’ rights and interests will also be lost.

  Express payment also needs a market-oriented solution mechanism.

  However, for consumers, although some items are partially damaged, they may not be used. Even if the courier company pays in proportion, the rights and interests of consumers are still not guaranteed. At the same time, there are disputes caused by the fact that it is often difficult to define the proportion of damage.

  As a big country of express delivery, the number of express delivery in 2018 has exceeded 50 billion, and it is estimated that the express delivery volume in 2019 will exceed 60 billion. In the face of such a huge market, in addition to further clarifying the basic principles of compensation for damage and loss of express mail in laws and regulations, we should also explore socialized and market-oriented solutions, such as introducing industry insurance to solve the problem of express delivery compensation.

Accelerating the process of local legislation in Henan Province provides legal support for the scientific development of meteorological undertakings.

  Since the promulgation and implementation of the Meteorological Law, Henan Meteorological Bureau has always regarded strengthening legislation as an important task to implement the Meteorological Law and change the development mode of meteorological undertakings. Up to now, the provincial people’s congress has promulgated three local regulations and the provincial government has promulgated four government regulations. The meteorological cause in our province has basically formed a good situation with laws to follow, which has effectively promoted the development of meteorological cause.

  

  I. Legislation during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period

  During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, Henan Meteorological Bureau actively promoted local meteorological legislation, further improved the local meteorological laws and regulations system, and continuously improved the quality of legislation. On March 26th, 2009, the Eighth Meeting of the Standing Committee of the 11th People’s Congress of Henan Province deliberated and passed the Regulations on Meteorological Disaster Prevention in Henan Province, which came into effect on July 1st. The meteorological disaster prevention in Henan Province has entered a new stage from administrative management to legal management, and the regulations have been highly praised by the main leaders of China Meteorological Bureau. In December 2009, the provincial government revised and improved the Measures for the Issuance and Dissemination of Meteorological Disaster Early Warning Signals in Henan Province (Decree No.128 of the People’s Government of Henan Province), which further standardized the dissemination of meteorological disaster early warning information. In January 2012, Decree No.145 of the People’s Government of Henan Province promulgated and implemented the Measures for Environmental Protection of Meteorological Facilities and Meteorological Detection in Henan Province. In the past five years, the provincial government has successively issued Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Meteorological Undertakings (Yu Zheng [2006] No.61), Opinions on Strengthening the Prevention of Meteorological Disasters (Yu Zheng [2007] No.74), Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Meteorological Service System for Agriculture (Yu Zheng Ban [2010] No.106), and Opinions on Printing and Distributing Henan Province.

  In addition, the Henan Provincial Bureau has also issued a series of supporting normative documents. Issued the Measures for the Administration of Subject Qualification of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement in Henan Province, the Measures for the Administration of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement Personnel in Henan Province, the Measures for the Evaluation of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement Files in Henan Province, the Measures for the Statistical Report of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement Filing in Henan Province, the Measures for the Guarantee of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement Funds in Henan Province, the Measures for the Evaluation and Assessment of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement in Henan Province, the Measures for the Investigation of Fault Responsibility of Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement in Henan Province, and the Standards for Meteorological Administrative Law Enforcement in Henan Province. The detailed rules for the implementation of the release and dissemination of meteorological disaster warning signals in Henan Province, the measures for the release of meteorological disaster warning in Henan Province (for Trial Implementation), the measures for the record management of lightning protection engineering design and construction by enterprises outside Henan Province, the measures for the record management of lightning protection products in Henan Province and other normative documents, and passed the record review by the provincial government.

  

  Second, the main experience of legislation

  (1) Raising awareness is the prerequisite. Improving ideological understanding is an important prerequisite for doing a good job in local meteorological legislation. Although the promulgation and implementation of Meteorological Law provides a legal basis for the rapid and scientific development of China’s meteorological cause, it is a programmatic law to regulate the development of meteorological cause after all. Because the situation in different parts of the country is different, the development of meteorological cause is uneven and uncoordinated, and the priorities of the contents that need to be standardized are different, it is necessary to formulate a feasible legal system with local characteristics in combination with local conditions. Over the years, the People’s Congress of Henan Province, the provincial government and the Provincial Meteorological Bureau have attached great importance to local meteorological legislation, and fully realized that accelerating local meteorological legislation plays an important role in promoting the scientific development of meteorological administration and meteorological undertakings in our province, developing according to law, and fully fulfilling the functions of meteorological social management and public service.

  (2) Strengthening leadership is the key. Every time a local law or regulation is promulgated, from project declaration to legislative drafting, there are many things to be coordinated, and there are many research contents, procedures and long periods. All aspects need the leadership of the provincial bureau to organize and coordinate. The leaders of Henan Provincial Bureau attach great importance to the legislative work, and the main leaders and leaders in charge of the Provincial Bureau have repeatedly visited the provincial people’s congress and the provincial government to actively communicate and strive for it. After the legislative project is determined, the provincial bureau lists special funds to ensure the necessary expenditure. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the Provincial Bureau listed a total of 300,000 yuan of special funds as legislative funds. The drafting of laws and regulations is an arduous task. The leaders of the provincial bureau timely coordinate the relevant functional offices, draw out high-quality talents who know the major, and form a strong drafting team to ensure sufficient time and concentrate on writing the draft. Every time the draft demonstration meeting, the main leaders and leaders in charge of the provincial bureau personally participated. For example, during the demonstration of the draft Measures for Environmental Protection of Meteorological Facilities and Meteorological Detection in Henan Province, the main leaders of the Provincial Bureau participated in the demonstration meeting twice.

  (3) Choosing the right project is the foundation. Henan is a big province of agriculture, population and tourism. It is not only a province rich in climate resources, but also a province with frequent meteorological disasters and serious meteorological disasters. In 2008, Henan suffered from freezing rain and snow, and in 2009, it suffered from drought in autumn, winter and spring. With the aim of serving the overall situation of Henan’s social and economic development and disaster prevention and reduction, Henan Meteorological Bureau took the initiative, conducted in-depth research and fully demonstrated, and timely strived for the Provincial People’s Congress and the provincial government to list the Regulations on the Prevention of Meteorological Disasters in Henan Province and the Measures for the Release and Dissemination of Early Warning Signals of Meteorological Disasters in Henan Province as legislative items.

  (D) Enhancing practicality is the goal. As the "basic law" to regulate the development of meteorological undertakings, the provisions of Meteorological Law are macro and general, which requires local legislation to be as detailed as possible, and to enhance practicality as the legislative purpose, so that local legislation has strong pertinence and operability. For example, although both the Meteorological Law and the Meteorological Regulations of Henan Province set up a chapter to regulate "meteorological disaster prevention", there are no provisions on meteorological disaster prevention plans, emergency plans and the formulation of defensive measures. Therefore, when formulating the Regulations on Meteorological Disaster Prevention in Henan Province, the first article clearly stipulates that the legislative purpose of the regulations on meteorological disaster prevention is to strengthen the prevention of meteorological disasters. In order to achieve this legislative purpose, the regulations always adhere to this legislative purpose in all chapters, striving to achieve detailed content, sound working mechanism, clear responsibilities of the government and relevant departments, and strong defensive measures. On the basis of the frequent occurrence of meteorological disasters such as drought and rainstorm in Henan, the legislation focuses on establishing and improving three mechanisms of prevention, early warning and disaster reduction, which enhances the pertinence and operability of the regulations.

  (5) Strengthening communication is an important link. In the process of reporting and drafting legislative projects, Henan Meteorological Bureau actively strengthened communication with the Legislative Affairs Office of the provincial people’s congress and the provincial government, asking for more instructions, reporting more and publicizing more, so that they fully understood the necessity and urgency of each piece of legislation. I have accompanied the relevant leaders of the provincial people’s congress and the provincial government and the specific responsible personnel of legislation to the brother provinces with advanced legislative work for investigation and investigation, and actively strive for their understanding and support. Every local legislative project involves the conflict between some important departments and sensitive issues. Therefore, our bureau analyzes the possible obstacles in the legislative process of each regulation in advance, and communicates with the departments that may raise objections in time to ensure the smooth passage of the draft for comment.

  (six) to play the role of functional departments is the guarantee. Local meteorological legislation is an overall work, involving all aspects of meteorological work, which cannot be completed by the policy and regulation departments alone. From the declaration of legislative items to the drafting and revision of texts, relevant functional departments need to support each other, coordinate with each other, cooperate with each other and complete together. Only by giving full play to the synergy of relevant functional departments and forming joint forces can we ensure the smooth progress of meteorological legislation and the high quality of legislative results. As the lead department of legislation, the Law Department will encounter various problems in its work, especially the time conflict with the daily work arrangement. While arranging all the work reasonably, the Law Department always takes the legislative work as the top priority, giving priority to the arrangement and deployment, so as to ensure the smooth and successful completion of the legislative work.

  

  Third, the "Twelfth Five-Year" legislative plan

  (1) Legislative thinking. Under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, adhere to the general plan of governing the country according to law, adapt to the requirements of the construction of meteorological rule of law and the transformation of meteorological development mode, actively contact and communicate with the provincial people’s congress and the functional departments of the provincial government according to the legislative project plan of China Meteorological Bureau from 2011 to 2020, and reserve new local legislative projects. According to the requirements of "priority and urgency", determine the legislative projects, make them mature, introduce them and gradually put them in place. Attach great importance to the quality of legislation and enhance the pertinence and operability of the content. Try to speed up the legislative progress, improve the legislative system, and ensure and promote the sound and rapid development of meteorological undertakings in our province.

  (2) Project planning. Henan is a province with large climate resources and severe meteorological disasters. During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, we should actively strive for and do a good job in the legislation of local laws and regulations such as Regulations on the Development, Utilization and Protection of Climate Resources in Henan Province, Regulations on the Management of Meteorological Services in Henan Province and Regulations on the Prevention of Lightning Disasters in Henan Province. The Regulations on the Development, Utilization and Protection of Climate Resources in Henan Province mainly regulates the development, utilization and protection of climate resources in our province, broadens the utilization field of climate resources, improves the utilization rate of climate resources, enhances the awareness of climate resources of the whole people, promotes the protection of climate resources, prevents the destruction of climate resources by human activities, and realizes the coordinated development of climate resources, society and economy; The Regulations on Meteorological Services in Henan Province is mainly to further strengthen, standardize and develop meteorological services, accurately locate the nature of different types of meteorological services, straighten out various social relations formed in meteorological services, continuously improve the efficiency of meteorological services, and provide accurate, timely, high-quality and efficient meteorological services for economic and social development; The Regulations on Lightning Disaster Prevention in Henan Province aims at strengthening lightning protection management, avoiding and mitigating lightning disasters, safeguarding people’s lives and property safety and promoting sustainable economic and social development.

  Strive to issue government regulations such as "Henan Province Climate Feasibility Demonstration Measures" and "Henan Province Lightning Disaster Risk Assessment Measures" as soon as possible. As soon as possible, the Provincial Bureau has formulated normative documents such as Measures for the Management of Lightning Disaster Risk Assessment Qualification in Henan Province, Measures for the Management of Lightning Protection Products Filing in Henan Province (Revised), Measures for the Management of Lightning Protection Device Detection and Measures for the Management of Meteorological Data in Henan Province.

  

  Iv. legislative suggestions

  (1) Improve the legislative level. After more than ten years of practice, China’s meteorological legislation system has basically taken shape, which has played an active role in safeguarding and promoting the development of meteorological undertakings. However, there is still a certain gap with the requirements of economic and social development, meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, and response to climate change for meteorological legislation. The existing meteorological laws and regulations are not high enough, mostly below administrative regulations, and the legal authority is not enough. It is suggested that administrative regulations should be upgraded to laws and the legislative level should be improved.

  (2) Strengthening legislation on public meteorological services. Public meteorological service is an important part of building a service-oriented department. With the continuous strengthening of public service functions and the promotion of equalization of basic public services in urban and rural areas, the demand of urban and rural people for diversified and high-quality meteorological services is increasingly urgent, and it is required to continuously improve the public service system and actively innovate public service methods to provide more and better public services for the public. In order to standardize management and ensure the orderly development of public meteorological services according to law, it is suggested to further strengthen the legislation on public meteorological services.

Wonderful moment

Excerpts from interviews

Rough study will eventually lead to angels in white’s dream

Lin Dong (hereinafter referred to as "Dong"):Where are you from? What was life like as a child?

Ling Xiuzhen (hereinafter referred to as "Ling"): I was born in a poor peasant family in Zengjiazhuang, Anxin County, Hebei Province on November 15th, 1923. Farming is the main task at home, because near Baiyangdian, my father sometimes cooks fish and my mother spins and weaves, thus making a living. When I was a child, I went to primary school in the village for a few days, but later I stopped going because of difficulties at home.

When I was about 11 years old, an American missionary of Baoding Presbyterian Church was also the head nurse of Silo Hospital in Xiguan Presbyterian Church in Baoding. Her name was Kai Aide. She came to our village with several people to preach and treat the villagers. At that time, I had a serious trachoma, and they treated me patiently, and it didn’t take long for me to be cured. They also taught me to read and sing. Kai Aide saw that I was smart, and he heard that my aunt was studying at Xiguan Presbyterian Church School in Baoding, so he discussed with my family and wanted to take me to Baoding to study with my aunt, which was funded by the church. Considering that there are many children at home and life is difficult, my parents agreed.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen in primary school

In 1935, I left home and went to Baoding to go to my aunt. I started primary school in Baoding Xiguan Gospel Girls’ School and graduated from high school in September 1938. After graduation, there was no funding from the church. A primary school teacher introduced me to Tongxian Fuyu Girls’ Middle School [1] for junior high school. This is a work-study school founded by the Christian Congregation, which takes care of the poor, and my conditions are just right.

Dong:How did you continue your studies without church support? Did you ask your family for help?

Ling: Shortly after I left home, the Japanese army invaded Baoding [2]. Anxin County was an anti-Japanese guerrilla zone. Under the war, I was cut off from my family. It was not until Beiping was peacefully liberated in 1949 that I got in touch with my family again.

I haven’t seen Kai Aide since I left Baoding to attend junior high school in Tongxian County. Later, I heard that she has returned to the United States. Fuyu Girls’ Middle School is also a missionary school. After studying, students make cross-flowers by hand and process them into tablecloths and pillow towels. The principal sells the finished products, and the money sold is used to help us poor students. I didn’t have a place to go during the summer vacation, so I stayed at school to continue to do handicrafts and earn some money. My life depended on this until I graduated from middle school in 1941.

Dong:Is it your ideal to be a nurse?

Ling: I have long liked nurses. When I was a child, I got trachoma, and the nurse in the mission hospital cured me for free. I am particularly grateful. It would be great to cure the disease in the countryside without spending money. I also want to have the ability to help people treat diseases. When I was in primary school, there was a missionary hospital next to the school. I often saw nurses dressed in white clothes, like angels, and I thought they were beautiful and envied their lives. Since then, I have liked the profession of nurses.

When I graduated from junior high school, the Senior Nurse School of Boji Hospital in Dexian County, Shandong Province [3] came to recruit students. Considering that I have no financial resources and can’t get in touch with my family, I can study as a nurse for the time being without spending money. I also like this profession, so I signed up with my good friend Zhang Shumin [4], and her situation is similar to mine. This nursing school is also a missionary school. The principal is a foreigner, and tuition and meals are free. In order to save money for the trip to Shandong, after graduating from junior high school, Zhang Shumin and I continued to do manual work of picking flowers at school for two months.

In September 1941, we arrived in Shandong. However, I only attended classes for more than two months. In December, the Pacific War broke out. Because the hospitals and nursing schools were in the charge of Americans, Japanese soldiers came soon and announced the closure of hospitals and the dissolution of nursing schools.

Dong:Where did you go after the school was dissolved?

Ling: The nursing school with food and shelter was dissolved, and Zhang Shumin and I had no place to live. We had a primary school teacher named Liu Lanfang, who was working in Tianjin Enguang Hospital, so we went to Tianjin to find a teacher. A friend of the teacher is an old lady, and her lover works as a personnel worker in Beiyang Spinning Factory, Haihe Road, Tianjin, so she introduced us to the factory as female workers.

In the spinning mill, we work 12 hours a day, starting at six in the morning and leaving at six in the evening. Every day, we often don’t see the sun at the end of the day. The factory also stipulates that workers can’t go through the main entrance after work, but only through the small door at the back. They have to be searched from head to toe when leaving the factory, which is greatly insulted. Therefore, Zhang Shumin and I rarely leave the factory, only occasionally go out to see the teacher.

We have worked in Beiyang spinning mill for 20 months, and the monthly salary is only enough to buy a bag of flour. At that time, I mainly wanted to find a place to live. I could earn some money to support myself by working, and I could also save some money, so that I could continue to study in a nursing school later.

▲ In 1942, Ling Xiuzhen (third from left) and Zhang Shumin (third from right) took a group photo with the workers in the spinning mill.

Dong:What kind of opportunity did you have to return to school later?

Ling: In August, 1943, the opportunity came to continue studying nursing school. Teacher Liu told us that the nursing school of Shanxi Taigu Renshu Hospital [5] is recruiting students, and there are our classmates there. Hearing this news, we were so happy that we contacted our classmates as soon as possible. Zhang Shumin and I scrimped and saved a little money, but it was easy to lose money in those days [6], so we bought some flower cloth to take with us, and then we wanted to exchange it for money, so we left the spinning mill and went to Shanxi.

Dong:How do you feel about going back to the nursing school again? What is study and life like?

Ling: I left the spinning mill in darkness and went back to the nursing school that I had been looking forward to day and night. I was in a very happy mood and made up my mind to study hard and become a nurse. The study content of nursing school is similar to that of now, including culture class, operation class, anatomy, pharmacology and so on. After the theoretical class, there will be clinical practice in Renshu Hospital. At that time, I got good grades in my homework and nursing skills, and I won a scholarship. Although I only had a few dollars, I felt great. But I didn’t expect that in December 1944, the Japanese army invaded the hospital and the nursing school was closed.

Dong:Forced to leave school again, where did you go?

Ling: After the school closed, many students went home, and my life with Zhang Shumin was lost. I feel very sad because my nursing studies have not been completed. At that time, three sisters Liu Jialan, Liu Jiahui and Liu Jiaqi who had worked with us in Beiyang Spinning Factory also left Tianjin to work in Yangquan. Hearing that we had nowhere to go, they took us to Yangquan. After arriving in Yangquan, I didn’t dare to go out at all. The streets were full of Japanese soldiers and I stayed at home all day. Later, with the help of Wang Jingguo, the husband of my middle school classmate Rong Fenglan, Zhang Shumin and I found a job temporarily. I was introduced to the business office of Yangquan Electric Company to copy the user’s electricity meter and electricity bill.

In 1946, on the second day of the first lunar month, Taigu Renshu Hospital resumed nursing school. After getting the news, Zhang Shumin and I hurried back to Taigu to continue our education until we graduated in January 1948. My nursing school can be regarded as finished, which adds up to nearly four years.

Dong:Looking back on this tortuous life and school experience, what do you think?

Ling: This experience has a great influence on me. People’s life is not easy. If you want to live, you have to struggle, and you have to do everything well, otherwise you may not have the opportunity to continue doing this job. If I work in a cotton mill, if I don’t work by the hour, people won’t want you. So is learning to be a nurse. If you don’t study hard, people won’t want you. Especially in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression’s time, it was not easy, so we had to struggle on our own and be a good person. Of course, I also relied on the help of teachers and classmates in this period. They introduced me to work, and I worked hard to earn some money to finish the nursing school, otherwise it wouldn’t work.

Toss and turn to the west and the east to determine the concord.

Dong:What’s your first job after graduation? Did you get your dream of being a nurse?

Ling: When I graduated, there was a Seventh Epidemic Prevention Brigade in Taiyuan. Several nurses in the team graduated from our school, so they introduced us to the past. Their main job was to get vaccination.

Six months later, the captain’s secretary was going back to Beijing. Several people in our team discussed with him and wanted to come together. He agreed. Taking this opportunity, I was also brought to Beijing. I came by plane. It was my first time to fly. A classmate’s brother worked at the airport and helped to buy a plane ticket, so friends helped me everywhere.

After arriving in Beijing, through the introduction of Wang Dimin, the former captain of the epidemic prevention brigade, our lesbians were arranged to help in Dongsi Qianliang Hutong Maternal and Infant Health Center and work as nurses. After working for about a month, my colleague Lu Yueying introduced me to the children’s hospital at the south exit of Fuyou Street, where I worked as a night nurse for another month.

Dong:How did you come to work in Peking Union Medical College Hospital?

Ling: In November 1948, a colleague from Taiyuan, Beijing, called me back to the newly established Eleventh Epidemic Prevention Brigade in Qianliang Hutong, which organized doctors and nurses to go to the countryside for epidemic prevention. I still want to be a nurse in the hospital, so I’m going to find another place to work. I discussed with Zhang Shumin and other friends, and they all advised me to come to Concord. I was worried that I was from a nursing school in a small hospital, and I was afraid that I could not keep up with my work, but they encouraged me to try. Zhang Shumin asked for a nurse registration form for me, so I got up the courage and came to Concord with my diploma in nursing school in Renshu Hospital.

I went in from the west gate of the hospital, walked to the nursing department office downstairs in Building 5 of the old building, and found Nie Yuchan, the director of the nursing department. She was the first person I met in Concord. I handed her my diploma. She asked me about my previous work and whether I had ever been to Concord. After chatting for a while, she said, "OK, come for a physical examination on the 13th, and go to work if there is nothing wrong with the physical examination." She is very capable and kind, and she is very organized and decisive.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen (right) and Zhang Shumin (left) took a group photo in front of the Union Nurse Building.

This is the result I am looking forward to, and I am very happy in my heart. One is that I have a fixed job, and the other is that I have finally stabilized. On December 13, 1948, I officially entered Concord, and I have been a Concord person since then. Until I left Concord in the Spring Festival of 1990, I spent most of my life in Concord, so my feelings for Concord are closer than home.

Dong:What impressed you when you first entered the Union Medical College Hospital? What are the differences between nursing work and before?

Ling: After I arrived at Concord, the first thing I felt was the grandeur of the building, which was my first impression. The equipment and facilities are good in all aspects, so it is very convenient to work. Like Shanxi Taigu Renshu Hospital, the conditions are worse, and many of them are simple because of their ignorance.

The other is that the attitude towards patients is really good. After work, I was assigned to the outpatient clinic, which is located on the first floor of Building No.10 in the current old building, mainly to accompany patients to see doctors. I especially remember that a mother came to see a doctor with a child of six or seven years old. The child had a sore on her leg and cried and was afraid to see the doctor. Wu Weiran [8], a doctor who makes house calls, has a particularly good attitude, speaks gently and has skills. When the child chats with him, he stops crying. Dr. Wu Weiran puts the child in his arms and sees the disease. The nurse next to him also said, "Little friend, I’ll get it for you. It doesn’t hurt." When the doctor said this and the nurse was so coaxed, the child stopped crying and went with the nurse to change the medicine. I went behind my mother and followed the nurse. Look how much this has changed. I watched, thinking how good this doctor is, how good this nurse is, and patients don’t suffer. This is my education, so I also learn from them in my later work and never yell at patients.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen (right) and colleagues took a group photo at the platform of the old building of Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Later, I was transferred from the outpatient department to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and after a period of time, I went to the internal medicine department. At that time, the internal medicine ward was on the second floor of Building 8 of the old building, and the head nurse was Li Yixiu, who graduated from Concord Nursing School. She is very strict and has given me a lot of education. For example, I can’t talk loudly in the ward, I can’t wear hard-soled shoes, and I can’t eat delicious food such as garlic and onions during work. In addition, when you go to work, you should patrol the patient’s bed more, and you can’t get together and chat in the office. She is also very strict in checking. When she sees what you did wrong, she points it out at once, and then checks it after you finish. I don’t know when she will stand behind you and look at you at work. She often gives lectures at morning meetings and encourages us to talk to patients more. I learned a lot of nursing knowledge from her. I think nurses should be like this, serious and solemn, but also cute and gentle.

After coming out of the internal medicine ward, I went to work in the foreign guest ward for a while. In 1951, the hospital wanted to set up a separate neuropsychiatric department, so I was transferred to the neuropsychiatric ward.

Dong:What are the characteristics of the work in the neuropsychiatric ward?

Ling: In order to prevent mental patients from jumping off buildings, the neuropsychiatric ward is located in Building 8 of the old building, with more than 20 beds. The ward is divided into a big room and a small room, and there is a place like a living room in the middle, where patients can do manual work and have work and entertainment treatment. Guo Jufen, the head nurse, also graduated from Xiehe Nursing School, and her working methods and attitude also made me very educated. Different from the patients in the internal medicine ward, the owners of neuropsychiatric diseases are mainly schizophrenic patients, some of whom are completely unconscious, others are clear and sometimes unconscious. In addition to medical and nursing work, we should also prevent them from committing suicide and hurting others. At that time, there were two or three male nurses in the ward, and each staff member had a key. The door should be kept locked, otherwise the patient would run out. Once, a patient ran out and shouted, "I ran, I ran!" " As a result, he was stopped by the doorman and called us quickly.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen (third from left) took a group photo with her colleagues in neuropsychiatric department. On the left, Wang Jichu, on the left, Guo Jufen and on the right, Hou Can.

Later, the neuropsychiatry was changed to neurology, and the ward was moved to the first floor of Building No.8 in the old building, and the number of beds was increased to more than 40. No mental patients were treated, only patients with basically clear consciousness and neuroorganic diseases were treated, among whom there were many comas and urinary incontinence. The patient’s situation is different, and the focus of nursing work is different. The nursing workload of neurology department is very heavy. Take the urine pad replacement of patients with urinary incontinence as an example. Half of the urine pads in the hospital are used in neurology wards, which shows that the number of changes is frequent and many people use them.

To resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea and care for the loveliest people.

Dong:Please talk about your experience in participating in the volunteer surgery team to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

Ling: At the end of 1950, Beijing set up a voluntary surgical team to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and called on all hospitals to actively register. I thought it was a glorious thing, so I signed up. After being approved by the hospital, in April 1952, I followed the surgical team to the 13th Army Hospital in Xingcheng, Liaoning Province, which was the rear battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and all the wounded soldiers who came back from the front were treated there.

After I went, I worked as a head nurse in the supply room. At that time, there were many surgical operations. The supply room in their hospital was quite large, and there were several little nurses there. We exchanged experiences. I introduced the situation of Concord to them, and everyone cooperated happily. Although I have never worked in the supply room before, the general nurses know which surgical instruments should be packaged, which should be steamed and how long it should be disinfected. In fact, it is material management. I combined the specific situation at that time and discussed the process with them to make the work more convenient.

After the work was carried out in an orderly manner, I made time to go to the ward. I saw that the soldiers had only one eye, some had missing arms, some had broken legs, some had missing ears, and some had only half their faces … I was particularly unhappy. I will try my best to help them, such as writing letters, reading newspapers and telling stories. But I think it’s more important that they told me how they killed the enemy at the front and how they got their injuries. They were all heroic and selfless acts, which taught me a lot. I think they are really lovely and respectable.

In this way, I ran to the ward as soon as I was free, and I gradually became familiar with the soldiers. Sometimes when I was late or didn’t go all day, they asked me, "Why are you late today?" "Why didn’t you come yesterday?" Everyone has a lot of affection for each other. Some soldiers gave me photos as souvenirs when they left the hospital, and some said to me, "Head nurse, I’m leaving. I don’t know when I can meet again!" They need psychological comfort and help, but while helping them, I am more educated.

▲ In 1952, Ling Xiuzhen (left) took a group photo with his colleagues in the surgical team at the 13th Army Hospital.

Dong:How long have you worked there?

Ling: The operation team rotates every four months. Originally, it was stipulated that everyone only participated in one phase. After I finished my first phase as head nurse, the organization arranged for me to stay and continue to work as the secretary of the operation team. At that time, the team leader was Zhang Jinzhe [9]. So I returned to Concord in early 1953 and worked there for less than a year.

There was tension and happiness in that life. The soldiers in the ward and our diet were good. After dinner, everyone gave back a big apple and put it on the bed, which meant peace. Xingcheng is near the sea. Every Sunday, the team members can go to the sea together. I also use my spare time to organize employees of the 13th Army Hospital to play basketball with the surgical team.

Dong:What impact does this work experience have on you?

Ling: I haven’t done much work in recent months. If I have time, I can do more. The deeds of the volunteers should be publicized. They fought bravely at the front line, paying for us and bleeding for us. What should we do? We should at least help. After I come back, I often think of those soldiers, especially those who meet soldiers at work. I will be very kind to them. Before I went to work in Concord, I tried my best to live. After I joined the volunteer operation team to resist US aggression and aid Korea, I wanted to not only live, but also know why I lived. This experience is really a great education for me, and I didn’t go in vain.

Everyone is in charge and manages the ward together

Dong:After you came back from the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, you worked as a head nurse in a neurological ward for more than 30 years. What did you learn from being a head nurse?

Ling: The management of the ward mainly depends on the head nurse. The nurses have done the specific operation. The head nurse should worry more about the management. If there is something to discuss, let’s unite as a fist and move forward. It’s very important for the head nurse to take the lead. If you just say no, you have to do it, and you have to be sincere. If you are sincere, you will keep your word, and comrades will see it.

After working for decades, I have never had a knot in my heart with anyone, but I am very honest with them, so that everyone is happy and the work is done well. At present, our comrades on the eighth floor still often get together and miss their work. This friendship was formed by helping each other and uniting with each other at work. So I think it’s easy and not easy to be a head nurse.

Dong:Do you have any innovative practices in nursing work?

Ling: Shame, there is no innovation in my life, just trying to do a good job in ordinary work.

After the downfall of the Gang of Four, the hospital called for rectifying wards, strengthening clinical nursing and improving the quality of medical care. How to do it? I discussed it with my comrades, and everyone came up with ideas. Some old comrades suggested that we should restore the effective system in the past. We classify the work of the ward, so that "everyone is in charge of everything, and everyone is in charge", and everyone is the master of the house.

Rectifying the ward begins with the companion system. At that time, there were 43 beds, 23 accompanying family members, plus doctors and nurses, and dozens of people were going back and forth in the ward. It was really chaotic. Some people said that our ward was a small Dongan market, so we must reduce our companionship. There was a patient who was completely paralyzed, but he was conscious and weighed more than 200 kilograms. More than one person at home took care of him, and two nurses in the ward struggled to turn him over. Hearing that the ward asked the family members not to accompany the bed, the patient immediately began to cry, and the family members were also uncomfortable. We patiently explained to him, and the comrades also took good care of him. Three days later, the patient said, "Head nurse, I don’t need my family to accompany me. You are doing better than them!" We have completed the task of the hospital, and the patients feel quite good, which is the result of our joint efforts.

To prevent patients from falling out of bed, one of our nurse comrades, Lao Sun, thought that patients fell because there were no fences on both sides of the bed, so it might be useful to weave nets. I brought him a thick rope, and he made a net and put it on both sides of the bed, so that the patient was safe. When a nurse visited, she found a patient in a net bag, so she quickly got him up. So for so many years, we have never had a patient fall.

Ward clothing management is also a difficult problem, because there are many serious patients and frequent changes, we will arrange special personnel to take charge of it, set a number of rules, and strengthen the inventory when handing over to the laundry room to ensure that the number is correct and will not affect everyone’s use.

One of the ways to improve the quality of medical care is to strengthen morning and evening care. Because there are many patients in the neurology department who are bedridden and have urinary incontinence, they are prone to bedsores, so we give them a "small bath" in the morning and evening, so that the patients are clean and comfortable, and we can also carefully observe and detect the changes in the patient’s condition in time. When the shift is over at the bedside, patients with slight early signs of bedsore will be marked at the bedside, so no patients here have ever had bedsore.

Besides clinical nursing, other auxiliary things should also be done well. We also rectify the ward environment, standardize the management of goods, make everything in its place, clean the environment and so on. When the hospital summarizes the work of rectifying the ward, I will be assigned to make a report to the whole hospital to introduce our experience on the eighth floor.

▲ Ling Xiuzhen gave a report on ward management experience to the whole hospital in Concord Auditorium.

Dong:"Everyone is in charge of everything, and everyone is in charge of something" is a particularly good idea, which is why the neurological ward has been rated as an advanced group for many years, right?

Ling: Work depends on everyone’s efforts to do it together, so everyone is happy to have achievements. Although things in the ward are trivial, everyone has the idea of being the master of their own affairs, and it is easy to manage them well if they are serious and responsible. We often check the established rules and measures. For example, at the morning meeting, everyone has a piece of paper and a pen, so I ask, where is the laundry bag? Where is the treatment tray? What should be in the first aid tray? Like an exam. In addition, there are good people and deeds that I also focus on promoting at the morning meeting. Mobilizing the masses and doing things is also training the masses, which is one of my gains. Our ward has produced five head nurses.

We emphasize not to get together in the office, encourage all nurses in the ward to patrol and observe the patient’s condition, and also find many patients’ condition changes in the process. A nurse found that a patient had a bad complexion, poor breathing, rapid pulse and unequal pupils during her patrol, and she was particularly anxious. She quickly said to her colleagues passing by, "You should prepare 20% mannitol as soon as possible and pull the rescue vehicle, and I will tell the doctor!" When the doctor came, the rescue vehicle was in place, and the infusion was given immediately, and the patient’s pupil slowly recovered. Later, neurosurgery consultation was invited, and after the operation, the patient recovered and was discharged. Without solid professional knowledge, the patient could not be found and rescued in time.

In addition to improving nurses’ knowledge of diseases in clinical practice, we also organize training, such as asking senior nurses to tell young or unfamiliar nurses about some nursing technical operations; Some professional knowledge, we ask a specialist doctor to talk about it, and everyone has improved through learning. The medical staff in the first ward on the eighth floor are very United and the working atmosphere is harmonious, so everyone is not bitter or tired when working.

Dong:Are there any patients who impressed you particularly during your work in the neurology ward?

Ling: There was a 21-year-old boy, Xiaoliang, who I remember very clearly. He was a patient with Guillain-Barre syndrome, with quadriplegia, respiratory muscle paralysis and lobar pneumonia. He went to the ward for immediate rescue and entered the iron lung [10]. He can’t breathe by himself, and he relies entirely on iron lungs to press him to breathe, and he sucks oxygen. Despite the shortage of manpower, we took out three classes of people to do intensive care, sucked sputum for him under protection and isolation, and observed the amount and color of sputum. His body can’t move, so we scrub and move his limbs. He can’t speak, but he is conscious and has an expression on his face, so we will write and communicate with him. Write "Your leg hurts, doesn’t it?" Show him. As soon as he closes his eyes, we will know that he is right. Once, I wrote several wrong words, but I accidentally touched his nose. He smiled, so we wrote "Is it a nose?" He closed his eyes and it turned out that his nose was itchy.

He can’t leave oxygen for a moment. Once, Comrade Lao Sun knew that the oxygen in the hospital was running out. On his way to work, he ran back to tell the comrades in the ward: "Our hospital’s oxygen truck is back, so you should change it quickly!" On another occasion, the iron lung could not support Xiaoliang’s breathing, and the Haiyan ventilator needed to be replaced. The Union Medical College Hospital didn’t have it, so it was necessary to borrow it from the 301 hospital. Comrade Lao Wang forgot to eat and immediately borrowed the machine. However, it takes several hours to borrow the machine. During this period, Xiaoliang’s breathing is not stable. We quickly made a careful nursing plan. Before the ventilator was borrowed, we organized nurses to maintain his breathing with artificial balloons without interruption, in order to gain valuable time for treatment. You see, everyone is working hard for a patient. How lovely these actions are.

Xiaoliang was treated in neurology for 318 days, including 4 months and 22 days of intensive care, 71 days of artificial respirator, more than 200 barrels of oxygen and more than 120 infusions. With the joint efforts of many departments, through the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine and the close cooperation of medical care, Xiaoliang finally recovered and was discharged. Everyone was overjoyed to see the patient cured and discharged from hospital.

Dong:Do you regard the ward as another home?

Ling: It’s not another home. I wish it were a main home. I think the work in the ward is the main thing, and a lot of work is also taken home. When children are young, they don’t have time to take them to the park to play. As for my half, he is also quite supportive, because he works in the Chinese History Museum and has time to go to and from work, which is not necessarily the case here. What’s more, the neighbors are also good. They help look after the children, so they also worry.

My family told me that you have no home. I said, isn’t my ward home? Ha ha. This ward is a home. It’s a pleasure to do it well. The patient is grateful to you and the doctor is happy. I didn’t do enough work all my life. After retiring in 1986, Corey kept me, and I was willing to stay in the clinic for another four years.

On-duty clinic to help patients with heart

Dong:What are the differences in nursing work from ward to clinic?

Ling: The job content is really different. Although they are all neurological diseases, the patients in the ward usually lie still there, while the patients in the outpatient department are mobile. They leave as soon as they come today, which is different in nature and different in work focus. When I was in the outpatient department, I also stressed the need to observe patients more.

For example, I once met an old lady holding a boy and sitting in a chair in the waiting room crying without talking. I asked her why she was crying, and she said that they were from other places, and the doctor didn’t prescribe medicine for the child, so she called them back for treatment. The local hospital diagnosed encephalitis sequela, and there are not many treatments in neurology. We advised her not to feel bad, and found an old doctor to see her. It was also this diagnosis that gave the child some nutritional medicine, and the old lady went back with confidence. If we hadn’t observed and found the old lady’s problem, it wouldn’t have been solved. How uncomfortable she was with her child in her arms, and so was her family when she went back to her home. Everyone who gave them that piece said that they were not satisfied with the Union Medical College Hospital. If this is solved, she will be calm and there will be no problem.

Another time, I saw a gay man yelling there, and the little girl next to him was crying, so I went over and asked what was going on. The gay man said that the doctor would give the child an EEG examination, but the child had lice on his head and had to get a haircut first. The girl was seven or eight years old. She wore two pigtails and didn’t want to get a haircut. As soon as she said it, she began to cry. I took them to Dongdan to find a barber shop and asked them to give the girl a haircut with a curtain. The girl looked in the mirror and was very happy. When she came back, she had her EEG done. They are Mongolians, and they don’t speak Mandarin very well. They keep saying thank you to us. Outpatient service is basically this kind of thing, that is, more care and observation are needed to help patients solve problems in time.

It seems quite simple to work in the outpatient department, but sometimes there are many problems, involving many aspects, such as patients from other places, ethnic minorities, farmers, overseas Chinese, etc. We should all think about what the party’s policies are for different groups and implement them.

Dong:I heard that you also carry out health education for patients, mainly through what forms? What effect has it achieved?

Ling: We also think it is very important to educate patients. At that time, it was mainly through oral preaching, blackboard newspaper, small cards and other forms. In addition to disease knowledge, there are also common sense science such as preventing gas poisoning. Some patients read it and said, I have to go back and clean up the stove at home.

Besides listening and watching, there are also thoughts. We guide patients to think carefully about when they got sick, whether they saw a doctor, what treatments they had, what the treatment effect was, and what the situation is now … So when they see the doctor, they will be comprehensive and the doctor can better understand the condition.

We do this propaganda, everyone is quiet, and the order of seeing a doctor is better. Later, the hospital encouraged us and awarded us a tape recorder, so we recorded well and told stories related to people’s health and life, which everyone loved to hear.

Dong:You have done a lot for patients. Have any patients done anything that moved you?

Ling: A female middle school teacher from Taipusi Banner, Inner Mongolia came to see a doctor and did many tests, but the results haven’t come out yet. She told us that she couldn’t wait any longer because the school was about to start and she couldn’t delay the students’ class. I say you go first, and we’ll concentrate these test results on the doctor and write a diagnosis for you after reading them. Later, I sent her the examination and diagnosis results, which solved her problem. She was so moved that she wrote a thank-you letter and sent a big bag of soybeans. We have "three disciplines and eight points for attention" [11], and we don’t take the needle and thread from the masses, so we sent the soybeans back to her.

Some brought us potatoes and wrote letters of commendation, and some suggested that we print out popular science materials and sell them to everyone as a bonus for nurses … People still have to get along with each other in good faith. From the interests of patients, you did the right thing, and everyone will support you. On this correct basis, we will unite and work together, and gradually it will get better and better.

Be indifferent to fame and fortune and walk with love

Dong:How is your life arranged after retirement?

Ling: My life is quite dull. I went abroad to stay with my daughter for two years after retirement. When I came back, I thought it was not a problem to just stay here, so I ordered a lot of newspapers and magazines. Some articles were quite good, so I cut them out and pasted them into a book. I sorted out ten boxes of state affairs, heroes, health knowledge, flowers and birds, Chinese paintings … I wanted to wait for the children to come back and show them how many great events have taken place in the country. This is an education for them, and this is the most content of my life. In addition, I also learn health knowledge from the Internet. I insist on walking for 30 minutes every day in the corridor outside the door. It was very difficult at first, but it became natural after a long time. I haven’t thought about how to live a long life, and I don’t think I’m old now. I don’t feel that way.

Dong:What do you think of the profession of nurse, from the dream of being a nurse to the life of nursing?

Ling: I chose this profession and still love it. Nurses are an indispensable and important part of medical treatment. I don’t have much knowledge and technology, and that’s all I can do, so I’ll do it well and contribute my strength to this. I’m glad to help others a little.

Dong:During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, you won the third-class merit. In 1981, you were named as a model worker in Beijing, and in 1983, you won the national March 8th Red Flag Bearer, and you were the first national March 8th Red Flag Bearer in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. After several decades, what do you think of these awards?

Ling: I don’t think it’s anything. I don’t think all these praises seem like a thing. When the prize is awarded, this meaning will pass.

Dong:What is the most fulfilling thing for you?

Ling: I didn’t achieve anything, but I worked hard to unite my comrades in my work and accomplish the tasks assigned by the party together. In response to the hospital’s call to clean up the ward, after half a year’s work, I was able to report to the whole hospital as a typical example. Although it was a small achievement, it was the result of the joint efforts of comrades, who forged a deep friendship in the process. Up to now, they still miss me. I think this is an achievement. I hope I can pass on the story of the eighth floor and inspire young people to do a good job.

Dong:What messages and instructions do you have for young people?

Ling: For young comrades, I hope that one should listen to the Party’s words, and the other should be strict with oneself, work hard and strictly abide by various rules and regulations. Without rules, Fiona Fang cannot be established. At the same time, we should innovate, strive to be a nurse who has both ability and political integrity and serves patients wholeheartedly, be the vanguard of the nursing field in China, and win glory in the world.

Concord has trained many medical and nursing talents. Concord’s work is very rigorous and strives for perfection, and it has treated countless difficult and serious patients, which is a great contribution. I hope that in the future, we will continue to protect people’s health, walk with love and create greater glories.
