Is it reasonable to set the service life of the credit points? Reporters investigate things like consumption points.

  Investigation motive

  Recently, some readers called for advice: Your mobile phone credit has expired. Is it reasonable to set the service life of the credit? It is understood that more than 10,000 points of this reader have expired. Before the expiration, the telecom operator had a SMS notification. He felt that there was no suitable redemption gift after inquiring, and then he forgot about it. Recently, he found that the points had expired.

  In order to attract customers and increase consumers’ stickiness to products, in recent years, many enterprises and businesses have introduced the point system, that is, giving away a certain amount of money and rewarding the corresponding points, and accumulating a certain amount of points can be exchanged for gifts and deducted some consumption amounts. Many people usually use points for eating, drinking and having fun.

  Then, in addition to setting the service life of the integral, what other issues will be involved in the integral? How should consumers solve these problems? To this end, the reporter conducted an investigation and interview.

  "You have ×× points that will expire at the end of this month. Please hurry to redeem … …”

  Not long ago, Yin Hang, who lives in Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, received a reminder from the telecom operator to exchange phone bill points. So, he opened the "integral mall" in the App and exchanged the points for two bags of laundry detergent and several tens of yuan. But there are still a few points, and there are no suitable goods to exchange. After consulting customer service, I was told that it would expire after not using it, and it could not be accumulated to the next cycle.

  "These points are all my usual consumption income, which originally belonged to me. Why do merchants have to set the use period, and he said that it will expire when it expires?" Yin Hang expressed his incomprehension.

  The reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" recently learned in an interview that in addition to doubts about "whether the use period of points is reasonable", many consumers expressed dissatisfaction with some problems such as not reminding before the expiration of points, "being expired" and difficulty in redemption.

  Integral is widely used in business.

  Merchants can set a service life.

  At present, many businesses use membership system to attract consumers, and consumption means giving away and rewarding points. From the use of telephone bills to credit card consumption, from online shopping to travel ticket purchase, the points system has involved all aspects of people’s economic life.

  The two children of Li Ting (a pseudonym) in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province have been drinking a certain brand of milk powder since childhood. Every time they buy milk powder and other commodities, the online mall will give her a bonus. In June of this year, when she logged into the mall and prepared to exchange points for gifts, she found that more than 10,000 points had expired.

  "I didn’t know that there was an expiration before. Usually, SMS pushes a bunch, and the points expire quietly." Li Ting told the reporter that after reporting to the customer service, she learned that when the points expired, they could only expire, and there was no remedy. "Before the expiration, the merchants didn’t remind me, and the points were originally obtained by spending money to buy goods. Why did they let the merchants set a time limit?"?

  During the interview, many consumers raised similar questions: What is the integral? Can the merchant set the use period?

  According to Shi Jiayou, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, executive director of the Civil and Commercial Law Science Research Center, and Ren Chao, a professor at the School of Economics and Law of East China University of Political Science and Law, points have property attributes and belong to consumers.

  Shi Jiayou said that the points system is a means of promotion for merchants, and it is a unilateral gift for merchants. If the trading conditions are set, it may constitute a contract, and the points are converted into commitments of merchants, which are binding on them. According to the general principles of the Civil Code and the Contract Law, merchants should fulfill their commitments.

  "The legal attributes of points are not clearly defined in law, but are agreed by the points issuer and the user’s autonomy. ‘ Points can be exchanged for goods ’ It is the merchant’s commitment to consumers, which makes the points have certain value attributes within the corresponding scope, and to a certain extent belongs to the virtual property of consumers. " Ren Chao said.

  Regarding the question of whether the merchants can set the use period, the interviewed experts all think that the setting period is reasonable and legal.

  Sun Jianrong, a senior partner of Beijing Deheng (Suzhou) Law Firm, said that the common promotion measures of "giving points for consumption" are gifts in legal nature. When consumers reach the pre-set consumption conditions of merchants, merchants give their property rights to consumers in the form of points, and consumers accept them, and both parties reach a gift contract.

  "Merchants can set a valid period for the redemption of points. According to Article 160 of the Civil Code, merchants can attach a termination period when giving points. When the period expires, the gift will be invalid." Sun Jianrong analyzed, but in the setting of the effective period, merchants should give full consideration to ensuring that consumers can use the points normally and avoid infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

  Huang Hajime Taki, a doctor of law and a teacher of Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, believes that the point expiration system set by merchants can be regarded as a standard contract, and the contents in it are standard clauses. According to the voluntary principle in Article 5 of the Civil Code and the relevant provisions in Article 465, this standard contract is effective, and merchants can specify the content of the points due and how to deal with the expired points.

  Set a reasonable service life

  In case of force majeure, it shall be extended.

  The reporter learned in the interview that the situation of expired points is everywhere. Many consumers have suggested that it is not because they don’t want to use it, but because of reasons such as "the merchant has no overdue reminder", "the set use period is too short" and "the impact of the epidemic". In this case, it is unreasonable for the points to expire without compensation.

  Li Rui from Guangdong told reporters that in June this year, when he opened an online mall, he found that his more than 30,000 points suddenly lost more than 10,000 points. Only after calling the customer service did he know that the more than 10,000 points had expired. "The merchant has never explicitly told me that the points will expire before. I can only see the total number of points in the mall interface. There is no information about the validity or expiration of points, and there is no phone call or SMS reminder."

  "This more than 10,000 points is worth more than 100 yuan. I reflected this situation to the customer service, but the customer service thought it was my problem and did not pay attention to the usage period of the points in time. " Li Rui said angrily, reminding and informing is the obligation of merchants. Why should consumers bear the loss?

  "The validity period of the points constitutes the content of the gift contract and belongs to the format text. Therefore, the merchant should give a significant prompt and explanation to the consumer at the time of the first gift and obtain the consent of the consumer. If it is not informed in advance or changed at will later, it is an infringement of consumers’ right to know. " Sun Jianrong said.

  According to Huang Hajime Taki, according to the Civil Code, if the terms are related to consumers’ interests, including the use period of points, consumers should be informed or reminded in a significant way to ensure that consumers are fully informed when spending. If the merchant fails to fulfill the obligation of prompting and informing, resulting in consumers not paying attention to the above terms, consumers can claim that the above terms are not established and are not legally binding on consumers.

  Recently, Ms. Lin of Shanghai is also engaged in a tug-of-war with merchants for the expired points. She used to visit a doll shop of a certain brand, and every time she spent money, she got a point included in her membership card. Due to the epidemic situation in Shanghai some time ago, and the merchants stipulated that the validity period of points was only 3 months, a large number of points expired. Ms. Lin repeatedly reported to the customer service and complained many times, but she still failed to get the points extension or compensation.

  In this regard, Shi Jiayou said that according to business practice, merchants have the right to set the use period for points, but they should set a reasonable period, such as airline mileage points. Most consumers will not fly frequently, and it may take two or three years to reach the minimum requirement for redeeming mileage. Then the use period of points should be set at least two years.

  "Starting from protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, merchants should give a prompt one month before the points expire. In case of force majeure such as epidemic situation, the service period of points should be extended. " Shi Jiayou said that there are no technical obstacles for businesses to do so, and it is also the proper meaning for them to fulfill their social responsibilities according to law.

  In addition, in reality, there are cases where the points are "expired" and "reduced" due to non-consumer personal reasons such as merchant system upgrade, system error and unclear rules.

  On March 13th this year, Ms. Zhao from Hexi District of Tianjin bought herself a birthday present in an online shopping mall, and spent a total of 430 yuan. According to the online shopping mall integral rules, you can get double points for spending on your birthday, that is, 860 points. But a few days later, Zhao Nvshi only received 430 points when he went offline to pick up the goods. The customer service said that the day of picking up the goods was not a birthday, so it was impossible to double the points. This explanation is beyond Zhao Nvshi’s comprehension.

  Many consumers from Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu and other places spoke in an interview with reporters, saying that sometimes the reason why they choose a certain brand for similar products is that they take a fancy to their points and redemption of points, and they have worked hard to save points. Now, if the points expire, they will expire, and if they decrease, their own rights and interests will be reduced. This dishonest behavior of merchants should be condemned.

  Points redemption hidden routine

  Collecting evidence and safeguarding rights according to law

  In addition to the service life, it is not easy to exchange points for ideal goods.

  Ms. Liu from Fengtai District, Beijing, exchanged points for a gift certificate from 20 yuan in an online mall and found that the gift certificate was not supported in her area. On the redemption page, there is no indication of which areas can be used, and there is no warning that "once redeemed, it cannot be returned".

  "The gift coupons that have been redeemed can neither be placed nor returned, which is equivalent to wasting a lot of points in vain. Obviously, it is a dumb loss for consumers." Ms. Liu said.

  What bothers Gala from Chuzhou, Anhui Province is not that he doesn’t have points, but that he can’t use them. He has used credit cards for many years and has a large number of convertible points, but the goods he wants to exchange have been out of stock. There are also some goods, which are often robbed in an instant when the merchants set up a rush. Gala told the reporter that he had reflected this problem to the customer service many times, and the other party invariably said: The goods will be updated irregularly.

  There are also many consumers complaining to reporters that there are fewer and fewer cases of simply exchanging points for goods, and there are more and more forms of "points+cash" for goods. Do you doubt whether the points really offset some of the amount?

  According to public reports, in March this year, Ms. Yang, a consumer in Xinyang City, Henan Province, reported that she bought a 1kg bottle of laundry detergent through integral mall, and the page showed that she needed to pay 683 points +24.17 yuan in cash. In the online self-operated store of the laundry detergent, it only costs 23.8 yuan to buy the same product, and the price after using the points is even more expensive than the normal purchase price.

  Regarding the problems existing in the points system, Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association, said that this is because some merchants’ points rules are not open and transparent enough, and the rules are not clear enough, and all disputes are caused by the merchants’ final say. In addition, it is also related to the complexity of some points acquisition and redemption processes, and some merchants even deliberately set additional conditions, which led some consumers to simply give up their rights and interests.

  How to further standardize the integral system?

  Ren Chao believes that merchants should make reasonable judgments on expired points according to different situations. After the merchant informs and the consumer knows or should know the due clearing rule, if the consumer misses the integral activity only for his own reasons, the merchant may not postpone or compensate; However, if the points cannot be used due to the reasons of the merchants or objective factors that are not attributable to the consumers themselves, the merchants shall provide the points extension and compensation services.

  Chen Yinjiang suggested that when formulating the points rules, merchants should be fair and reasonable, taking into account the interests of both parties, and should not set the exchange threshold too high, especially not set some unfair and unreasonable format clauses that restrict exchange and harm the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. In addition to informing consumers in advance of the points rules and reminding them before the expiration, merchants should also unblock the after-sales service channels to facilitate consumers to negotiate and solve problems in time.

  "Consumers should also raise their awareness of self-protection and not blindly consume for points. Before using the consumption points, you should carefully read the points rules formulated by the merchants. If you encounter problems with damaged rights and interests, you should collect relevant evidence in time and defend your rights according to law. " Chen Yinjiang said.

  In Ren Chao’s view, because merchants or e-commerce platforms have a stronger trading position than consumers, in fact, consumers do not have much bargaining space for the points system, and they either accept or choose to leave. It can even be said that the acceptance and consent of some consumers is also a kind of "passive" consent. Therefore, reporting the points to the platform customer service may have little effect. If consumers feel that their rights and interests are damaged, it is recommended to report to consumer rights protection organizations and defend their rights according to law.

  "If there is a problem with the goods redeemed by consumers with points, the Consumer Protection Law, the Product Quality Law and the relevant Three Guarantees Regulations can also be applied, and consumers can claim their rights and interests according to the normal purchase of goods or services. In other words, if there are quality problems in the products redeemed by points, the merchants can also be required to fulfill the policies of warranty, replacement and refund according to law. " Chen Yinjiang said.

India has been hit by severe floods, and Brahmins would rather die than be rescued by Christian fishermen.

[Observer Network Comprehensive Report] Kerala, India, suffered a "once in a hundred years" flood. Since the end of May and the beginning of June, the number of victims has exceeded 300, and tens of thousands of people have been displaced.

In the face of this cruel flood, a group of fishermen spontaneously joined the rescue team. Although most people welcomed the fishermen heroically, some people exposed the discrimination between caste and religion.

According to a report by CNN on the 21st, these fishermen loaded their boats on trucks and went to towns and villages in Kerala with a water depth of more than 3m to rescue people who climbed tall buildings and waited for help.

Marion George, a 47-year-old fisherman, participated in the rescue in Quilon last Friday, and 17 people in one family were trapped.

When he told the family that he had come to help them, the other party asked his religious belief, "Isn’t this a Christian ship?"

After George identified himself as a Christian, the family from Brahman, the highest caste in Hinduism, refused to board the boat.. According to the report,Although they were desperate in the face of the flood, they waved to George to leave and refused to go near him.

Five hours later, George returned to the block and saw the family calling for help just now.

When he docked the boat to prepare for rescue, the group told him again,Only when George doesn’t have physical contact with them, do they want to get on the boat.

Christian fisherman George from CNN

Usually, that’s their attitude, and we thought they would change in this case., "said George.

According to George’s estimation, he rescued 150 people in two days until his ship was damaged beyond rescue.

CNN interviewed several other fishermen who participated in the rescue. They also said that when they wanted to help, some victims insulted them or didn’t trust them at all.

Fisherman Arun Michael saw the disaster on the news last Wednesday, and the next morning he took his boat with three others to the disaster area. They evacuated more than 1,500 people in three days.

Among them, some victims asked them to bring their dogs on board first, and then go up by themselves. Others refused to leave their homes. "They are arrogant and just want us to give them food."

Others refused to help because they were worried that their property would be looted after leaving home.

Despite this, Michael insisted on saving people. "Anyone may encounter a flood. If something happens in the future, we hope we can get help."

According to the Kerala government,More than 2,800 fishermen participated in the rescue work. The government has announced that it will pay each fisherman 3,000 rupees (about 294 yuan) as compensation for the damage of his ship.

Hundreds of people died in Lebanon bombing! Hotel monitoring records the instant images of the explosion.

  Cctv newsAccording to Agence France-Presse, at least 149 people were killed, 5,000 injured and dozens of others were missing in the explosion in Beirut port area of Lebanon on the 4th. Reuters reported that the death toll was 145, and this number is likely to continue to rise.

  News scene: the moment of explosion, the moment of shock

  After the explosion in the port area of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, more eyewitness videos and surveillance videos showed the moment of shock when the explosion occurred.

  The video provided by Reuters shows that on the 4th, in a hospital in Beirut, a parturient was being pushed into the delivery room, and her husband was filming a mobile phone video. At this time, an explosion occurred in the port area, and the glass of the delivery room was shattered by the shock wave, and the delivery room was in a mess. Fortunately, in the end, the child was born smoothly and the mother and child were safe.

  Another video comes from a surveillance video of a hotel in Beirut. The video shows that the boss and employees of this hotel felt the explosion in the distance and got up to wait and see. Unexpectedly, there was a second violent explosion, and the explosion shock wave shattered the glass curtain wall, so they hurriedly escaped, and the office area was in a mess at this time.

  This video was shot after the explosion. The city that just experienced the explosion was shrouded in thick smoke, and a huge red smoke rose in the distance, which was shocking.

  Lebanese military arrested 16 port employees involved.

  At present, the investigation on the cause of the explosion accident in Beirut port area continues. On the 6th local time, the Lebanese government took a series of measures against the relevant personnel involved in the port area and arrested 16 port employees involved.

  On the 6th local time, the Lebanese military judiciary arrested 16 port employees involved, and said that it would investigate relevant incidents and personnel. Earlier, the Lebanese government had asked the military to take action and put under house arrest all port officials responsible for supervising and guarding warehouses since 2014.

  Lebanon freezes bank accounts of seven Beirut port officials

  According to Lebanese media reports, Lebanese State Prosecutor Oeidat issued a travel ban on seven people, including the general manager of Beirut Port and the Lebanese Customs Commissioner. At the same time, the Special Investigation Committee of the Central Bank of Lebanon announced the freezing of direct or indirect bank accounts related to them and the lifting of the relevant bank secrecy system.

  The second largest port in Lebanon temporarily replaced the function of Beirut Port.

  Tripoli, the second largest port in Lebanon, said on the 6th that it is ready to temporarily replace the function of Beirut port and prepare to receive international aid ships and commercial transport ships sent to Lebanon.

  Former captain of the cargo ship involved: The cargo ship was diverted to Beirut.

  Earlier, according to several Lebanese government officials, ammonium nitrate, a dangerous chemical that may cause an explosion, was found missing from a cargo ship named Rothers about six years ago.

  On the 6th local time, Boris Prokoshev, the former captain of the "Rothers", said in an interview with the media in Russia that the freighter was diverted to Beirut. If he had known this was happening, he would never have boarded the freighter.

  It is reported that after the cargo ship docked at Beirut port, it was seized due to port fee disputes, and the captain and four crew members were also detained for about 11 months. After that, the owner of the freighter and the owner of the goods gave up the freighter and the goods respectively. This batch of dangerous chemicals was transferred to the warehouse in the port area. The cargo ship Rothers also docked near the explosion site.

  It is reported that "Rothers" changed hands many times and was bought by a company run by Russian businessman Igor Grechushkin in 2012. On the 6th local time, the Cyprus police asked Grichushkin at his home at the request of Interpol. The investigation is still in progress.

How did the traffic tragedy come about? One car accident, two accidents, and three traffic participants all disobeyed the law.

CCTV News:Not long ago, a traffic accident happened in Shunyi, Beijing. A passenger car collided with an electric car at the intersection, causing Ms. Li, the owner of the electric car, to be knocked to the ground and unable to move. However, after the accident, the bus driver did not take care of the owner of the electric car who fell to the ground in time, resulting in a second accident.

The driver of the electric car ran a red light and was hit.

As can be seen from the picture, Ms. Li riding an electric car collided with a straight black car when she turned left to cross the road. Ms. Li was knocked down in the innermost lane and the black passenger car stopped in the middle lane. After receiving the alarm, the police of the traffic detachment of Shunyi Public Security Bureau immediately rushed to the scene.

Medical staff:Her leg is quite serious, and it’s still the same thing whether it can be saved or not.

Ms. Li:I turned to henan village at the traffic lights.

Bus driver Liu:I’m driving normally, she runs a red light, and I’ll call 120 when she hits it. I’ll see how people are. She hit a red car, a red car.

Law enforcement police:Red, did you get the license plate number?

Bus driver Liu:I didn’t remember, I couldn’t see it at all, and I ran away.

Law enforcement police:Did the red car hit someone, or did it hit a car?

Bus driver Liu:I hit someone. I was run over.

The police found that Ms. Li was seriously injured. After simple treatment, she was sent to the hospital for treatment by medical staff, but the driver said that Ms. Li’s injury was caused by a second crush by another car.

Li Yanfeng, accident handling squadron of traffic detachment of Shunyi Public Security Bureau, Beijing: This is the situation of scattered objects at the scene. At that time, there were many scattered objects on the scene, and the blood on the ground was left by the injured. Then it can be seen that after the first accident, the injured person was already seriously injured. At that time, her car was severely deformed by the collision. This is the situation of the vehicle when the first traffic accident occurred. It can be seen that the entire front bumper of his motor vehicle has fallen off. It can be seen that the collision was very intense. He let the injured person just lie on the road.

Passenger cars illegally transport goods to transfer goods and ignore the injured.

The law enforcement police felt a little embarrassed. Why did the driver Liu not protect Ms. Li lying on the ground in time? What was he doing at that time? The police saw the truth by taking pictures of public places at the scene of the accident.

Li Yanfeng, accident handling squadron of traffic detachment of Beijing Shunyi Public Security Bureau:At this time, we can see that the vehicle that had the first accident stopped on the middle road, and he called a van to transfer the things in his car. The injured person was lying alone in the innermost lane and nobody was in charge. Because there was a passenger carrying goods in the motor vehicle, there were more than ten cases of white wine in his car. In order to be afraid that the traffic police would deal with him, he just said that he had a brief look at the injured person and stood a tripod behind his car, which did not treat the injured person in time and protect the injured person.

It turned out that Liu knew that passengers would be punished for carrying goods, so in order to hide it, he ignored Ms. Li who fell to the side, but asked her friends to drive away the goods in her car to avoid responsibility, but she didn’t expect that a second accident happened at this time.

The red car ran away after crushing the injured person twice.

Li Yanfeng, accident handling squadron of traffic detachment of Beijing Shunyi Public Security Bureau:It happened that a red car passed by at this time. He was driving in the middle lane and found an accident ahead. When he was about fifteen meters away, he didn’t find the injured person. He turned left and then crushed the injured person. At that time, his car had stopped, which proved that he knew that this traffic accident had happened. Later, he accelerated away from the scene with one foot.

There were three lanes on the road where the incident occurred. Liu’s transshipment goods occupied the outer two lanes. Ms. Li was lying in the innermost lane, and the rear car failed to respond. She wanted to merge, but she didn’t see Ms. Li lying in the middle of the road. As a result, she hit it.

Li Yanfeng, accident handling squadron of traffic detachment of Beijing Shunyi Public Security Bureau:At that time, the injured person was lying in the innermost lane. After he (the driver of the red car) hit it, the injured person was 90 degrees, which had been dragged for about three or four meters, and she was lying upright in the innermost lane. She was wearing a helmet at that time, and her helmet had left her head when we arrived at the scene.

Because it was late at the time of the incident, the license plate number of the escaped vehicle was not clearly captured on the monitoring screen, which made it more difficult for the traffic police to detect the case.

Li Yanfeng, accident handling squadron of traffic detachment of Beijing Shunyi Public Security Bureau:Later, we chased a few cameras forward, about three or four kilometers backward, because his red car was not very common. Later, we pushed forward bit by bit through time and found a car that was more consistent with the accident vehicle. Later, through lighting analysis, its lighting was the same as that of the accident vehicle, and we decided that it should be the same brand car, which was a major crime suspect.

How to determine the responsibility of two accidents?

The police found that there were some red vehicle fragments on the road, and the suspected vehicle was identified. The next day, the driver Zhang was summoned to the traffic team for inquiry, but Zhang denied that he had hit someone.

Li Yanfeng, accident handling squadron of traffic detachment of Beijing Shunyi Public Security Bureau:Later, we made a detailed investigation of his car and found that there was still some blood in the chassis of his car, which was fresh blood, proving that his car had caused harm to the injured when the accident happened.

In the face of the evidence, the driver Zhang finally admitted the fact that he had hit and run. In the end, the police pretended to identify two incidents: in the first accident, the driver Liu had passenger and cargo behavior, and the sky was dark, and he did not turn on the lights, which was responsible for the accident. However, Ms. Li turned left at the intersection of bicycles, did not avoid the motor vehicle, and also violated the rules, which was the same as the motor vehicle. In order to escape punishment, Liu did not protect the scene and was partly responsible for the second accident.

Zhang, the driver of the hit-and-run accident, bears the main responsibility for the second accident.

Li Yanfeng, accident handling squadron of traffic detachment of Beijing Shunyi Public Security Bureau:After the accident, the driver should treat the injured in time, and protect the scene, put the tripod behind the injured, and turn on the double flash at the same time, and stop the vehicle at the intersection, guide the vehicle and call 122 in time.

At present, the hit-and-run driver Zhang has been detained by Shunyi police. Fortunately, Ms. Li was injured in the accident because she wore a safety helmet, but her life is not in danger. The case is under further investigation.

Li Yanfeng, accident handling squadron of traffic detachment of Beijing Shunyi Public Security Bureau:I hereby remind all traffic participants that they should wear helmets and take protective measures before going on the road when driving non-motor vehicles. I also remind friends who drive motor vehicles that they should observe the road surface when passing the intersection, find out the road surface situation in time, slow down, and turn on the lights at night to ensure the safety of the road surface.

Jing Zheng Fa [2021] No.10

District People’s governments, municipal government commissions, offices and bureaus, and municipal institutions:

  It is of great significance to carry out urban renewal and change the mode of urban development and construction and economic growth to improve the quality of the city, meet the needs of the people for a better life and promote the high-quality development of the city. In order to promote urban renewal as a whole, the following opinions are put forward.

  I. General requirements

  (A) the guiding ideology

  Guided by the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era, fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Plenary Sessions of the 19th National Congress, thoroughly implement the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary to Beijing, adhere to the people-centered principle, adhere to the new development concept, follow the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and take the Beijing Urban Master Plan (2016 -2035) as the guide.

  (2) Basic principles

  Urban renewal mainly refers to the continuous improvement, optimization and adjustment of urban spatial form and urban function in urban built-up areas (areas where planning is basically realized), which is a small-scale, gradual and sustainable renewal. Urban renewal should adhere to the following principles:

  1. Planning leads, giving priority to people’s livelihood. Conscientiously implement the "Beijing Urban Master Plan (2016 -2035)", incorporate urban renewal into the economic and social development plan and the overall implementation of the land and space plan, so as to strictly control the total amount, make overall plans by districts, and increase and decrease the balance. Starting from the most direct and realistic interests that the people are most concerned about, we will improve the functions through urban renewal, fill the shortcomings, and ensure and improve people’s livelihood.

  2. Government promotion and market operation. Strengthen the leading role of the government, strengthen planning control, improve policy mechanisms, and do a good job in service guarantee.

Focus on bottlenecks, boldly reform and innovate, actively explore new modes and paths of urban renewal, and form mature experiences and gradually promote them.

  Second, strengthen planning guidance

  (1) Circle guidance

  The core functional area of the capital is mainly protected and updated, while the central urban area is mainly reduced in quantity and upgraded in quality. Sub-centers of cities and new towns in plain areas undertake the functions of the central urban area in combination with urban renewal, and ecological conservation areas moderately undertake urban functions that are compatible with green ecological development in combination with urban renewal.

  (2) Block guidance

  Urban renewal is carried out in blocks, and the comprehensive implementation plan and the implementation plan of renewal projects are scientifically compiled according to the detailed regulatory planning of blocks. Carry out comprehensive evaluation of blocks, find and analyze the problems existing in urban functions, supporting facilities and spatial quality of blocks, sort out spatial resources and determine the renewal tasks. Match the space resources with the updating tasks, change the one-off indicators into dynamic on-demand allocation, and intensively use the space resources. Revitalize the existing buildings in the block, focus on old residential areas, old bungalows, old industrial areas, old commercial areas, old buildings and certain deep areas on both sides of important streets, and encourage property owners to update independently and social forces to participate in the update through the status quo ownership check and positive and negative list guidance. Taking the space such as home center and community meeting room as the carrier, this paper explores the composite utilization mode of municipal infrastructure, public service facilities and public safety facilities, and improves the convenience and comfort of residents’ lives and the quality of public space around the needs of "seven haves" and "five natures".

  Third, the main update methods

  (A) the transformation of old residential areas

  Implement comprehensive renovation of old residential areas, and supplement public service facilities such as convenient commerce and old-age care services with existing houses and public spaces according to residents’ wishes; You can use open space, illegal land for vacating, etc. to increase parking spaces, or set up convenient facilities such as mechanical parking facilities. Encourage the installation of elevators in old residential buildings.

  (2) Reconstruction of dilapidated buildings

Gao Feng, a porter of colored peppers: Small colored peppers bring new hope to poor villages.

CCTV News:One day in May, in the field of Lindong Village, a figure in blue overalls was busy. He was Gao Feng, the first secretary and team leader of Guangdong Zhongshan Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid stationed in Lindong Village, Nan Jiezhen, Guang Ningxian, Zhaoqing City.

In 2016, Guangdong Zhongshan Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid appointed Gao Feng as the captain of the resident team in Lindong Village (and the first resident secretary in 2019). Since serving as a poverty alleviation cadre, Gao Feng knows every inch of changes in Lindong Village: from leaking earth buildings to solid brick houses, from barren farmland to colorful peppers in greenhouse vegetable bases, the poverty alleviation team has led Lindong Village to develop leading industries with vegetable planting characteristics step by step. By December 2019, there were 43 households and 113 people in Lindong Village who fully implemented the "two guarantees and three guarantees", and the poverty alleviation rate reached 100%.

"University Question" in Small Pepper

Lindong Village is located in the northeast of Nan Jiezhen, Guang Ningxian, Zhaoqing City, at the junction of two counties, with weak geographical advantages and lagging economic development. It is one of the poverty-stricken villages in Guangdong Province. When he first came, Gao Feng was bent on finding a breakthrough point to get rid of poverty. After carefully understanding the situation in the village and consulting the opinions of Guang Ningxian Agriculture Bureau, Gao Feng chose to plant the characteristics — — Colored pepper planting is a key supporting industry.

"Long-term poverty alleviation must have an industry, but also aim at high-end market demand and improve the use value of land. Don’t underestimate these little colored peppers, they have ‘ University question ’ !” Gao Feng said.

Since Gao Feng introduced colored pepper planting technology to Lindong Village, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the village. At present, Lindong Village has become the largest modern agricultural industrial base in Zhaoqing. The villagers also promote the harvested colored peppers through online online micro-shops, participate in poverty alleviation agricultural products fairs offline, and purchase canteens and employees’ orders, bringing more than 2,000 yuan/person to poor households every year.

In addition to the production and planting business model, the poverty alleviation team also promoted the income of poor households by carrying out labor transfer and employment, providing stable employment opportunities, taking shares in hydropower stations and carrying out chicken breeding projects. In 2019, it helped the average income of poor households with working ability to increase by 12,000 yuan.

"Pepper Porter" solves the problem of unsalable products.

At the beginning of the new year in 2020, the sudden COVID-19 epidemic spread throughout the country. Gao Feng decided to end the Spring Festival holiday ahead of schedule. After telling his wife that he couldn’t take care of his two-year-old child, he drove more than 250 kilometers back to the village to lead the villagers to fight the "epidemic" and tide over the difficulties together.

"Hello, hello, is this the poverty relief office? I have 1300 kilograms of colored peppers that are unsalable. Is there any channel to sell them? "

"Hello, I have 1300 Jin of colored peppers in Lindong Village, Guangning. Do you have any intention to buy them?"

"Hello, do you know any channels to promote poverty alleviation products quickly?"

Two days later, Gao Feng’s voice was smoking, and his phone was burning. After countless phone calls, Gao Feng finally reached a cooperation with the government of Nan Jiezhen City, Guang Ningxian, and 1,300 kilograms of colored peppers will be distributed to 23 unit villages and communities in Nan Jiezhen. After solving the sales problem of colored peppers, Gao Feng finally put down a big stone in his heart.

Due to the Spring Festival, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, logistics is hard to find and expensive. In order to save costs, Gao Feng decided to drive to the village with another poverty alleviation team member. He began to be as busy as a top, transporting colored peppers one after another for 200 kilometers. After finally completing the distribution, Gao Feng joked that he had become a "colored pepper porter". But when I returned to Lindong Village at night, looking at the empty colored pepper stacking area and the reassuring smile of poor households, Gao Feng felt that all the hard work was worth it.

Picked colored peppers in greenhouses will start a new round of planting, but under the severe epidemic situation, agricultural materials are very scarce and logistics is also very tight. Gao Feng started a new round of telephone harassment. He searched all the agricultural materials companies in the county, and finally got some agricultural materials under the coordination of many departments, so that spring ploughing could be carried out in an orderly manner.

Nowadays, the spring ploughing of colored peppers in greenhouses has been carried out smoothly. Gao Feng stands at the door every day to provide protective masks for the temperature measurement and reminder of planters entering greenhouses. The fields planted with colored peppers in greenhouses are full of spring, and the fruitful results in the coming year are faintly visible.

During the epidemic, Gao Feng drove back to Lindong Village, Zhaoqing City, a designated poverty alleviation village, and studied the varieties of colored peppers in the greenhouse with farmers during the spring ploughing. Tan Maozhen photo

Epidemic prevention and tackling key problems, actively promoting various resumption of work and production

Epidemic is the command, and prevention and control is the responsibility. "The COVID-19 epidemic is a big test, and ultimately it depends on the comprehensive score." Gao Feng believes that the prevention and control of the epidemic situation and the resumption of work and production test the level and ability of governance, not one or the other.

Over the past few days, he led the poverty alleviation working group in Lindong Village to fight the COVID-19 epidemic, and at the same time, he actively organized cadres and masses in rural areas and party member to promote the resumption of work and production, so as to ensure that the prevention and control of the epidemic and the development of poverty alleviation industries can be achieved simultaneously.

In order to speed up the project construction, Gao Feng led the village poverty alleviation cadres to strictly supervise the epidemic prevention and control, while actively promoting the development of poverty alleviation projects in accordance with the standards for returning to work and epidemic prevention requirements, and speeding up the construction progress of the fourth phase of the 100 kW photovoltaic project. He also focused on giving full play to the industry advantages of helping units, and organized inspection and maintenance of all photovoltaic projects in Lindong Village to ensure the stable operation of photovoltaic equipment and consolidate the development effect of poverty alleviation industry in Lindong Village; At the same time, epidemic monitoring, protective measures for construction workers and the development of poverty alleviation industry will be included in the current key work to implement comprehensive management, and the whole process will be tracked and supervised.

In order to cooperate with the resumption of work in towns and villages and the return of personnel to their posts, Gao Feng also led village cadres to visit their homes in person to solve the problem of returning migrant workers and poor people. He actively visited 25 poor households with working ability in Lindong Village to carry out the work of returning to work, and contacted enterprises and relevant departments to help poor households return to work as soon as possible. He also actively contacted enterprises to recruit poor laborers, organized more than 20 poor households with working ability in Lindong Village to carry out employment recruitment, and helped poverty alleviation industries and villagers in Lindong Village to resume work and production as soon as possible, so as to get rid of poverty and take off their hats as soon as possible.

Nowadays, layers of green waves are turned up in the fields of Lindong Village, where villagers are planting crops. On the other side of the village, solar panels are shining in the spring sun, which is a thriving scene. (Text/Chen Xin Correspondent/Ouyang Yixue Tan Maozhen Hu Jiayu Huang Yuyan)

Foreign media: China’s economic growth rate exceeds expectations to help global economic growth

  According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on the 18th, the gross domestic product (GDP) of China will increase by 2.3% in 2020, including 6.5% in the fourth quarter. According to foreign media reports, China’s economy is recovering against the trend, with a faster growth rate than expected. This trend will continue and will help the global economic growth.

  The New York Times: China’s economy is recovering against the trend

  The New York Times reported that under the epidemic, most countries in the world are facing round after round of blockades and layoffs. Only one major economy has achieved economic rebound after basically controlling the epidemic, and that is China.

  China’s National Bureau of Statistics announced on the 18th that China’s economy grew by 2.3% last year. In contrast, the economic output of the United States, Japan and many European countries is expected to drop sharply.

  Although the recovery process is different, factories all over China are running at an excessive speed to meet overseas orders, and cranes on construction sites are never stopping. Exports and infrastructure were the main drivers of economic growth in the past year. China’s exports increased by 18.1% in December last year, and by 21.1% in November. From high-speed rail lines to new apartment buildings, all investment in fixed assets climbed by 2.9% last year.

  The New York Times pointed out that both exports and infrastructure will provide impetus for economic development in 2021.

  Reuters: China’s economy will grow at the fastest rate in ten years.

  Reuters reported that in the fourth quarter of 2020, China’s economy accelerated, and the growth rate exceeded expectations. In 2020, China’s GDP increased by 2.3% compared with the previous year, making it the only major economy in the world to achieve positive growth.

  China took strict measures to curb the spread of the virus, so it was able to control the epidemic faster than most countries. At the same time, the government has implemented some effective measures, and manufacturers have accelerated production to supply goods to many countries plagued by the epidemic, which has also helped promote the momentum of economic growth.

  China’s huge manufacturing industry will continue to grow. In December 2020, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 7.3% year-on-year, which was faster than expected, setting a record since March 2019.

  According to Reuters’s survey, it is predicted that China will continue to lead other countries in 2021, and its GDP will grow at the fastest rate in ten years, reaching 8.4%.

  CNN: China’s economic initiatives benefit other countries.

  CNN reported that the economy of most parts of the world was deeply affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, but China’s economy maintained growth last year, which exceeded expectations.

  Frederic Neumann, co-head of Asian economic research at HSBC, said in a research report that China’s economy is in a leading position when most countries in the world are struggling to keep a balance. In his view, this has laid the growth bottom line for other markets in the region. China’s investment in infrastructure and real estate has surged, which is good news for countries such as Australia, South Korea and Japan.

  China’s trade growth is also very strong. Analysts pointed out that people all over the world work from home, and the demand for protective equipment and electronic products has greatly increased, from which China has benefited.

  Julian Evans-prichard, an economist at Kaitou International Macroeconomic Consulting Company, pointed out that despite the recent decline in the retail industry, we think there is still room for growth in consumption as households use the savings they saved last year. At the same time, last year’s stimulus measures will keep the industry and construction industry strong for some time.

  Bloomberg: China’s economic growth helps global economic development.

  Bloomberg reported that the growth rate of China in 2020 exceeded expectations. Bloomberg economists had predicted that China’s economic growth rate was 6.2% in the fourth quarter and 2.1% for the whole year, but the actual results were 6.5% and 2.3% respectively.

  Yang Yuting, chief economist of ANZ Greater China, said that China is not only returning to the growth track, but the strong rebound means that relevant departments can give priority to structural reform in 2021.

  China’s V-shaped recovery is based on the successful control of the epidemic and the promotion of investment in real estate and infrastructure through fiscal and monetary policies. At the same time, the overseas demand for medical equipment and home office supplies in China is increasing, and the export in 2020 will increase by 3.6% year-on-year, which further promotes the economic growth of China.

  Some economists predict that China’s GDP growth rate will reach 8.2% in 2021. With the vaccination, other economies have begun to recover, but China will continue to lead.

Explosive growth of overseas exports, price reduction and inventory clearance in domestic sales

  In the first seven months of this year, automobile exports reached 383.73 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 118.5%. Yesterday, the data released by the General Administration of Customs showed that Chinese cars went to sea with explosive growth. Guangzhou Daily’s all-media reporter observed that auto companies have taken a two-pronged approach to seize the domestic and international markets. The domestic market is not weak in the off-season, and auto companies use price cuts to boost sales and run for the annual sales target.

  Going to sea from individual combat to group organization

  Automobile export is growing into a new engine for the growth of China automobile enterprises. According to customs statistics, in the first seven months of this year, China’s automobile exports reached 383.73 billion yuan, an increase of 118.5%. In the first half of the year, 2.341 million vehicles were exported, a year-on-year increase of 76.9%; The export value of the whole vehicle was US$ 46.42 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1.1 times. China may export more than 4.5 million cars this year, which is expected to surpass Japan to occupy the first place in the world.

  A number of car companies have accelerated to go to sea. BYD, Chery, Great Wall, BAIC, GAC, Geely, Weilai, Tucki and other auto companies have taken more than 70 trips to sea. Lang Xuehong, Deputy Secretary-General of china automobile dealers association, judged that there will be a window period of about ten years for the rapid growth of automobile exports. It is worth mentioning that the action of going to sea is not limited to the export of the whole vehicle. Supply chain export and brand building … … More China car companies choose to set up a system to go to sea.

  Guangzhou car companies are also active participants in export. In July, GAC Ai ‘an announced the start of export, with Thailand as the first stop. By the end of May, Guangqi Honda had exported more than 2,400 ZR-V models to the European market, and will continue to promote its export business to the European market in the future. In the second half of the year, the Odyssey e:HEV produced in Zengcheng will be exported to Japan in reverse. The G6 model of Tucki released in June this year is also carried out simultaneously at home and abroad, and the new car meets the regulations and standards of many places around the world.

  China’s import and export of goods increased by 0.4% in the first seven months.

  General Administration of Customs: The data is in line with expectations, and the fundamentals of long-term improvement have not changed.

  According to the data released by the General Administration of Customs, in the first seven months of this year, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 23.55 trillion yuan, up 0.4% year-on-year. Among them, exports were 13.47 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.5%. Lu Daliang, director of the Statistics and Analysis Department of the General Administration of Customs, said that China’s foreign trade import and export operation is stable and in line with expectations, and the long-term positive fundamentals have not changed.

  "The performance of private enterprises is brighter, which provides some support for the growth of foreign trade." Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degrees Committee of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, pointed out that in the first seven months, the import and export of private enterprises was 12.46 trillion yuan, up 6.7%, accounting for 52.9% of the total foreign trade value, up 3.1 percentage points over the same period last year.

  Another noteworthy data is that in the first seven months of this year, China’s exports to ASEAN increased. In the first seven months, ASEAN was China’s largest trading partner, and the total trade value between China and ASEAN was 3.59 trillion yuan, up 2.8%, accounting for 15.3% of the total foreign trade value. The trade surplus with ASEAN was 627.51 billion yuan, an increase of 17%.

  "China products are inexpensive, Southeast Asian e-commerce has a broad growth space, and logistics from China to Southeast Asia is convenient, and the live broadcast outlet also brings new opportunities." Wu Linhao, general manager of Best International’s cross-border business, said. The total volume of cross-border business of Best International increased by 11% in July this year.

  Zhou Maohua, a macro researcher in the Financial Market Research Department of China Everbright Bank, believes that the decline in China’s export growth rate is mainly affected by the slowdown in overseas demand and the drag of price factors. Bai Ming suggested that foreign trade enterprises should attach importance to the domestic and international double circulation, increase the intensity of exporting to domestic sales, and increase the development of the domestic market.

  Traditional car companies: I am healthy

  Since July, the price reduction in the auto market has not stopped. First, North and South Volkswagen successively announced the price reduction of ID. Series, with the highest price reduction of 87,000 yuan. Almost at the same time, Cadillac announced to adjust the price and rights of LYRIQ Ruige, a pure electric vehicle: the price of all products was lowered by 60,000 yuan, and the price was further lowered to 361,700 yuan after the discount was superimposed.

  In late July, the reporter visited the first-line market and found that both fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles have discounts ranging from 30,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan. It is worth mentioning that the preferential strength of pure electric vehicles owned by many head car companies is generally greater than that of fuel vehicles.

  In August, the atmosphere of price reduction is still spreading. SAIC Volkswagen announced that from now until August 31, the prices of nine SUV models of SAIC Volkswagen will be reduced. Among them, the comprehensive discount of Tourang and Tourang X reached 60,000 yuan, and the plug-in hybrid of Tiguan L was 55,000 yuan.

  SAIC MG MG offers limited-time discounts for its hot-selling models such as MG5 Scorpio and the third-generation MG6PRO, with a maximum discount of 26,000 yuan for bicycles.

  New forces: me and

  Li Xiang, CEO of LI, said that price reduction can’t increase sales, but it can hit competitors. When the price of traditional fuel vehicles is greatly reduced to hedge the penetration of new energy vehicles, how should new energy vehicles respond? The answer is: reduce the price.

  Recently, Zero Run announced that some models of its C-series have reduced their prices, with the highest drop of 20,000 yuan. This is not the first time that Zero Run has reduced its price. In March this year, Zero Run has officially announced a price reduction.

  Chery New Energy announced that the purchase of three models of Chery New Energy, namely Little Ant, Unbounded Pro and QQ Ice Cream, can enjoy different cash discounts, up to 10,000 yuan.

  Ai ‘an launched the summer "price" activity, where users can enjoy three years’ interest of 100,000 yuan, limited-time financial subsidies, new car charging gifts worth 4,999 yuan, and replacement subsidies as high as 6,000 yuan.

  Joining the new round of price reduction is the Great Wall Euler, which can enjoy a maximum discount of 30,000 yuan. Nezha Auto started the activity of reducing the price by up to 49,000 yuan.

  Price reduction has become the norm, and the pressure on high inventory funds still exists.

  Many car companies are ready to "reduce prices as a normal state". High inventory, the withdrawal of new energy vehicles from the state, and the switch of the national six b … … These are important incentives for the continuous price reduction of the auto market this year.

  According to the statistics of china automobile dealers association, the inventory index of the automobile industry was lower than that of threshold for only one month in the past two and a half years. From fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, from local brands in China to multinational car companies, it is hard to bear the financial pressure brought by high inventory.

  The wave of price cuts is also reducing the operating profits of car companies. Take Volkswagen as an example. In the first half of this year, the profit from the joint venture company in China dropped from 1.402 billion euros in the same period last year to 1.152 billion euros.

  The good news is that the auto market is picking up. According to the statistics of the Passenger Car Association, in July this year, automobile retail sales hit a record high.

  Rejuvenate the vitality of the ancient capital axis.The famous Beijing Central Axis is the longest, most intact and long-standing urban axis in China and even the world. Dongcheng District took the opportunity of applying for the World Heritage of the Central Axis as an opportunity, and successively completed the retreat of a number of key cultural relics, such as the Shejitan, the ancestral temple and the Huangshiguang, carried out the protection and renovation of the bell and drum tower and the comprehensive renovation of the surrounding area of the Red Building in Peking University, and created a landscape gallery looking north at the central axis of Yongdingmen, making the backbone of the ancient capital of the central axis magnificent. Relying on the cultural resources around the central axis, we will plan and carry out a series of cultural activities on the central axis, organize the public art class of "Reading the Forbidden City" in conjunction with the Palace Museum, and hold the Yongdingmen Light and Shadow Show and "One Yuan ‘ China ’ Activities such as "special exhibition of the central axis" and "singing the central axis" vividly tell the story of the central axis, injecting new vitality into the axis of this ancient city.

  Retain the unique temperament of the old city.Old streets, hutongs and quadrangles constitute the unique urban texture of Beijing. Dongcheng District continues to promote the overall protection of historical buildings, urban water systems and traditional quadrangles, and deepen the protection and organic renewal of historical and cultural blocks. Reproduce the scenery of the old path of the Yuhe River, where "water runs through the streets and trees are shaded", and keep the context, texture, background color and temperament of the old city. Complete the renovation and upgrading of Chongyong Street with "Embroidery Kung Fu", and reproduce the ancient capital style of "style and charm, big city and silver street". By renovating roads, demolishing illegal buildings and beautifying cultural walls, the fine improvement and upgrading of back streets and alleys will be completed in an all-round way. The renovation work will be extended from the streets to the courtyards, and more than 100 "beautiful courtyards" will be built through "micro-renovation", so that the old neighborhoods can live in ancient simple and elegant courtyards and embrace a harmonious and livable life.

  Awaken the historical memory of cultural relics.Adhere to the priority of protection and inheritance, build an overall pattern of "one axis, two lines and multiple pieces" for the activation and utilization of cultural relics, and organically integrate the protection and utilization of cultural relics into urban life. A comprehensive "physical examination" of 58 cultural relics at the district level provided data support for cultural relics protection. Start the "Living Calendar Plan" for cultural relics, and innovatively introduce charitable trust funds, so that Chinese excellent traditional culture can better live in the present and serve the present. Carry out the Beijing Ancient Architecture Music Season, and play a beautiful preface to the activation and utilization of cultural relics with music. Start the brand of "there is a play in the guild hall" and activate the guild hall culture with "small but elegant" immersive performing arts activities.

  "There is a play in the guild hall" makes traditional culture glow with a new style of the times

  Promote the sharing of culture and life, and improve people’s satisfaction with cultural services.

  Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the modern public cultural service system should be improved and the project of benefiting the people through culture should be innovatively implemented.

  Cultural space has changed from "single mode" to "multi-integration"Integrate public cultural services into the urban life service circle, and take the lead in building a "ten-minute cultural circle" with uniform coverage, convenience and efficiency in the city, with a per capita public cultural facilities area of 2.1 square meters. Using all kinds of retreat spaces to expand new cultural scenes, 40 performance theaters inject artistic vitality into the city, 37 museums lead the masses to explore the past and seek the present, and launch new urban cultural spaces that integrate life aesthetics and cultural experience, such as the United States, the corner building library and the 27 courtyards, so that the masses can get close to culture and art without leaving the hutong.

  Cultural supply has shifted from "government sponsorship" to "cross-border collaboration".Introduce the "1+6" management method for the whole process of socialized operation of public cultural facilities, and upgrade the socialized operation of public cultural facilities to "‘ Selection, use, management and training ’ The 4.0 stage of closed-loop management of the whole process. The "four advances" policy was introduced to guide and support physical bookstores to enter shopping malls, buildings, communities and parks. There are 2.7 physical bookstores owned by 10,000 people in the whole region, and people can meet poems and distant places at their doorsteps. The promotion system of "City of Drama" and "5+4+3" was launched, and a series of drama activities, such as Nanluoguxiang drama exhibition season and national drama exhibition season, were "staged together", forming a demonstration effect of "Great drama sees Beijing, and good drama is in Dongcheng".

  Cultural brands have changed from "independent design" to "spontaneous growth".Actively cultivate the urban cultural soil, attract China Literature Festival, China Documentary Conference, Beijing Cultural Forum, University Student Film Festival and other activities to the East City, and build an important platform for writing to carry the message and conveying the sound through the text.

Deeply grasp the scientific connotation and practical requirements of the concept of "two mountains"

  Author: Qin and Han Dynasties (special researcher of Beijing Supreme Leader New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center, associate professor of China Institute of Language and Literature, university of international business and economics)

  On August 15th, China ushered in the first National Ecological Day. This groundbreaking and symbolic anniversary embodies the important position of ecological civilization construction in the new era and the determination to comprehensively promote the construction of beautiful China.

  At the recent national conference on ecological environmental protection, the Supreme Leader stressed that the next five years will be an important period for the construction of beautiful China. We should thoroughly implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s ecological civilization thought in the new era, persist in taking people as the center, firmly establish and practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept, put the construction of beautiful China in a prominent position in the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation, promote the obvious improvement of urban and rural living environment, achieve remarkable results in the construction of beautiful China, support high-quality development with high-quality ecological environment, and accelerate the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought profoundly reveals the objective law of harmonious development between man and nature and comprehensively promotes the construction of ecological civilization, which provides us with a powerful ideological force to build the ecological foundation of Chinese modernization.

  People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak will live up to people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, China’s ecological civilization construction has made remarkable achievements. China has achieved the goal of zero growth of global degraded land by 2030 put forward by the United Nations ahead of schedule, and achieved the goal of reducing carbon emissions by 40%~45% in 2020 compared with 2005 ahead of schedule; Under the guidance of the idea of "jointly protecting and not developing", the Yangtze River Economic Belt has achieved green development with ecological priority. The Mu Us Desert has changed from a "barren land" to an "oasis", making the surrounding villages embark on the road of green poverty alleviation; The first batch of national parks have been formally established, and the protection of biodiversity has been continuously strengthened … … All localities and departments have fully implemented the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", continuously intensified pollution control, solidly carried out ecological protection and restoration, constantly broadened the path of transforming green mountains and green hills into Jinshan Yinshan, and jointly promoted high-level protection and high-quality development, scientifically, reasonably and effectively transformed ecological values into economic development momentum, and continuously opened up new beautiful ecological spaces for future generations.

  Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s idea must be firmly established and practiced, and development should be planned at the height of harmonious coexistence between man and nature". As an important part of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, the concept of "two mountains" is the fundamental follow-up and action guide for us to do a good job in ecological civilization construction. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader’s important thesis on "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" profoundly reveals the dialectical unity and complementary relationship between development and protection, that is, protecting the ecological environment means protecting the productive forces, and improving the ecological environment means developing the productive forces. On the one hand, the concept of "two mountains" looks at environmental problems from the perspective of development and the needs of the times, and is committed to building an eco-economic system characterized by industrial ecologicalization and eco-industrialization, promoting high-end, intelligent and green traditional industries, and promoting high-quality economic development in the process of improving the environment; On the other hand, the concept of "two mountains" deeply responds to the people’s actual demands, embodies our party’s people-centered development thought, promotes ecological benefits for the people, benefits the people, and serves the people, and provides more high-quality ecological products, so that people can truly feel the ecological benefits brought by development in the beautiful China with sky blue, green land and clear water.

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that "it is necessary to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of development mode, adhere to green and low-carbon development as a fundamental solution to ecological and environmental problems, accelerate the formation of green production methods and lifestyles, and plant a green background of high-quality development." Chinese-style modernization is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must more firmly and systematically implement the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought and practice the concept of "two mountains". To embark on a new journey of ecological civilization construction, we should actively explore and promote the transformation path of "two mountains" and accelerate the establishment of the value realization mechanism of ecological products.

  Specifically, the first is to continuously strengthen the concept of system, consider all elements of natural ecology as a whole, promote the governance of ecological environment system, collaborative governance and source governance from a global perspective, focus on improving the quality and stability of ecosystem, and enhance the ecological service function while maintaining ecological balance. The second is to actively explore the transformation path model of "two mountains". In the top-level design, we should explore the establishment of a policy framework oriented to the value of eco-products, cultivate new eco-industrial business entities, promote the formation of a construction pattern with consistent goals, up-and-down linkage, discussion and sharing, and a sustainable eco-product value realization mechanism led by the government, with the participation of enterprises and all sectors of society, and market-oriented collaborative operation, and explore transformation path models including green banks and "ecological plus" composite formats, so as to accumulate experience for the innovative practice of the concept of "two mountains". Third, we will continue to strengthen the legal protection of the ecological environment, improve the legislative system of ecological civilization, adhere to the strictest system and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment, actively promote the revision of laws and regulations in key areas, strengthen the coordination of the legal system of ecological environment, and consolidate the foundation of the rule of law in order to practice the concept of "two mountains" and create a new paradigm for the development of ecological civilization. All in all, we will constantly enhance our consciousness and initiative in promoting the construction of ecological civilization, protect green mountains and green hills more beautifully, and make Jinshan Yinshan bigger.
