The first ray of sunshine and the first snowfall of the new year all indicate a bright future for Chengdu.

Saying goodbye to 2020, 2021 is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party and the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan. On the centenary of the Communist Party of China, looking back on the past, the centuries of struggle have continued to capture the great achievements of revolution, construction, reform, and opening up, and achieved a historic leap from standing up to becoming strong and prosperous. After more than 40 years of unremitting struggle since the founding of New China, especially in reform and opening up, we have a solid foundation to embark on a new journey and achieve new and higher goals.

Standing on a new historical starting point and looking forward to the future, our country has entered a new stage of development, implemented new development concepts, built a new development pattern, and embarked on a new journey. Under the correct leadership of the party, Chengdu takes the construction of a park city demonstration zone that implements the new development concept as the leader, and constantly gathers the power to realize dreams in the new atmosphere, and starts the construction of socialist modernization with a confident attitude and courage to be the first. A new journey for the city, opening up a new future of high-quality development under a new pattern.

"Be good at nurturing opportunities in crises and opening new games amidst changes." This is a major strategic requirement clearly put forward by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party. Opportunity is vitality, that is, the first move, the first mover advantage, and the courage to be first.

The eighth plenary session of the 13th CPC Chengdu Municipal Committee and the Economic Work Conference of the CPC Chengdu Municipal Committee, which was held just now, clearly stated that it will strive to basically complete by 2025 a “high-quality development pilot zone with innovation as a new driving force, and coordination as a new form of integrated development. District, a pioneering area for sustainable development with green as its new advantage, a pioneering area for dual-cycle development with openness as a new engine, and a pioneering area for human-oriented development with a new perspective on sharing."

The "Five Pioneer Zones" is the goal of Chengdu’s economic and social development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. It is for the comprehensive implementation of a series of important issues of the Party Central Committee, including "good at nurturing opportunities in crises and opening new situations in the face of change." New blueprints and paths for strategic deployment.

"If you don't judge the power, it means that both leniency and strictness are wrong." In the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, the couplet inscribed by the scholar Zhao Fan is well-known far and wide, and contains rich philosophical principles.

Unfolding a map of the world, you can clearly see that Chengdu is the closest national center city to Europe. Due to its superior location and the time and space distance between Chengdu and Europe, Chengdu can save two hours of flying time compared to Beijing and Shanghai.

Although there is the impression of the inland hinterland in the poetry fairy Li Bai's "The road of Shu is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky!", but there is also Li Bai's "Nine days out of Chengdu, thousands of families into paintings", which is popular throughout the ages, and tells Chengdu's quatrains. Legend and charm.

Starting from the city center, heading east for about 50 kilometers, a "sacred bird" that flies in the sky suddenly appears in front of you. This is the largest civil aviation hub airport project planned and constructed in my country's "13th Five-Year Plan"-Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, which will be completed and put into use before the Chengdu Universiade this year.

Chengdu is the third city in my country with dual international hub airports. Looking down from an altitude of 10,000 meters, the two international airports, Shuangliu Airport and Tianfu Airport, are like two wings of Fengyi flapping on both sides of Longquan Mountain, vividly demonstrating the new development pattern and trend of "one mountain with two wings".

Standing at the historical intersection of the "two centenary years" and a new starting point for the "14th Five-Year Plan", Chengdu firmly implements a high-level opening up. The eighth plenary session of the 13th Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee’s Economic Work Conference held a few days ago scientifically planned the main goals, long-term goals and long-term prospects of Chengdu’s economic and social development, and drew a grand blueprint for the city’s high-quality development, high-efficiency governance, and high-quality life .

Openness is the biggest variable in Chengdu. In the face of major changes unseen in a century, and the new development pattern under the dual-cycle national strategy, Chengdu has seized upon the “opening up” while taking advantage of the trend to evolve from the hinterland to the open highlands. Striving for new goals for the dual-cycle development of new engines", and devoting itself to "nurturing opportunities in crisis, opening new games in changing situations", a new picture of opening up is slowly unfolding...

"Happiness comes from struggle." Keep abreast of the pulse of the times, bravely stand on the trend of the times, strive for progress in the opening wave, and work hard to grow and share with this city. Editor/April
