“Tourism is booming and people’s lives are booming. Today’s situation is hard-won. I wish the motherland prosperity, peace and prosperity!” said Yang Hua, a citizen of Ruijin.

As the years go by, China is full of vitality and colorful atmosphere in the New Year. In the festive and lively festival atmosphere, beautiful scenery spreads out, and there are figures of hardworking people everywhere.

In the late winter of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, the towering Jinping Mountain is howled by the cold wind. 2,400 meters underground in Jinping Mountain, scientists from more than a dozen domestic experimental cooperation groups are racing against time to carry out deep-earth scientific research. This is the world’s deepest, largest and most “pure” ultra-deep underground laboratory.

During New Year’s Day, engineers from the Jinping Underground Laboratory Management Bureau of SDIC Yalongjiang Company conducted inspections of the Jinping Mountain Tunnels and experimental halls one by one to ensure that scientific experiments can continue as usual during the holiday.

“National economic development provides very good conditions for scientific research, giving us the courage and confidence to participate in the most cutting-edge international scientific research. We should study seriously and promote our basic research to be at the forefront.” Tsinghua University Engineering Physics Department Professor Yue Qian said.

Helping each other increases motivation

On New Year’s Eve, 70-year-old Zhao Huaisheng was admitted to the Jishishan County Comprehensive Social Welfare Institute under the coordination of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Jishishan County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province and other units.

His room is fully equipped with beds, showers, and barrier-free facilities. “These clothes are all given out for free!” Seeing the reporter visiting, he opened the closet door and happily showed off the neatly stacked clothes inside.

Not long ago, an earthquake caused serious damage to Zhao Huaisheng’s house. With no relatives or friends to rely on, he lived in a tent the day after the earthquake, and supplies such as rice, flour, and oil were secured that day.

“Thank you to the party and the government! Even though my home is gone, I still have a place to live, enough food and clothing to wear!” Zhao Huaisheng said with bright eyes when talking about the present. He believes that with help from all walks of life, life will soon get better.

In the past year, natural disasters such as floods, typhoons, and earthquakes occurred in some places. In the face of difficulties, under the strong leadership of the party and the government, people were not afraid of wind and rain, helped each other, faced challenges, and overcame difficulties, writing confidence deep in their hearts.

On the morning of the 1st, Xinjiang herdsman Sifat Wukmathan watched TV with great interest. Just a few days ago, watching TV was still a luxury for the 60-year-old.

Sifat Wukmat Khan lives in Pile Village, Maryang Township, Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, Xinjiang, located in the hinterland of the Pamir Plateau. Due to limitations of natural conditions, the 51 herdsmen households here have been barely able to rely on photovoltaic power generation to support their electricity consumption, and can only maintain basic lighting in their homes.

In August 2022, State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co., Ltd. invested 28.1 million yuan to prepare for the construction of the distribution network construction project in Piller Village, Maryang Township. It was officially completed and put into operation on December 26, 2023, completely solving the electricity consumption of 51 herdsmen in Piller Village. problem.

“Electricity is a new beginning. Keep moving forward, and the days will surely become brighter and brighter.” Sifat Wukmatikhan said that with better living conditions, everyone will work more energetically.

Strive to climb and the future will be more promising

At the beginning of the new year, Liu Wei, general manager of Ruiying Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. from Jiaxing, Zhejiang, is still leading the scientific research team to be busy in the laboratory.

A small sensor is used everywhere in the industrial field. However, the sensor industry has always faced the difficulty of import monopoly. Six years ago, Liu Wei, who had 13 years of work experience, resigned and started his own business, determined to independently develop domestic sensors.

“We continue to try multi-disciplinary and cross-border integrated research and development, and finally conquered core technologies such as battery-free multi-turn technology and position control core algorithms,” Liu Wei said. Today, Ruiying has become an important supplier in the field of complete localization of high-precision linear and angle sensors.

Riding the wind of innovation and development, in the new year, Liu Wei and his entrepreneurial team will focus on tackling key problems and look forward to achieving greater technological breakthroughs.

Constantly striving for self-improvement and striving to climb higher, the land of China has strong momentum for innovation, creation and entrepreneurship.

Viewed from a high place, Puxiu Village, located in Zhuangxing Town, Fengxian District, Shanghai, is in sharp contrast to the north bank of the Huangpu River. There are many factories on the north bank, and more than 1,700 acres of conservation forest near the villages on the south bank are still lush in winter.

Taking advantage of the ecological advantages of being located in a country park, Puxiu Village has attracted a group of cultural tourism business entities to settle in. “We are exploring new business formats and models such as plant factories and unmanned agricultural machinery. The countryside has become more beautiful, and there are more prospects for entrepreneurship and employment.” Gu Yonghao, a new farmer born in the 2000s, said.

Live up to your time and strive to pursue your dreams, and a better China is being created in the hands of hundreds of millions of people! (Reporters Yu Xianhong, Xue Chen, Tang Tao, Gao Han, Wen Jing, Ren Yanxin, Wang Feng, Lan Tianming, Zhang Mengjie, Qiang Yong, Dai Jin Rong, Zhao Xu)
