Promoting Chinese modernization and high-quality development is the primary task.

  "Our modernization is both the most difficult and the greatest." When attending the discussion of the Party’s 20th Guangxi delegation, the Supreme Leader General Secretary made a profound exposition on comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization.

  One of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization is to achieve high-quality development. High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

  Stay in the new journey of national rejuvenation and draw a grand blueprint for future development. Since the beginning of this year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has presided over many important meetings and visited local areas to guide all localities to implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and promote Chinese modernization with high-quality development.

  To achieve high-quality development, we must rely on science and technology.

  "It’s worth seeing. Seeing it gives me confidence in achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance." On the morning of July 7th, when General Secretary of Supreme Leader visited Jiangsu, he affirmed that Suzhou Industrial Park was at the forefront in scientific and technological innovation and high-quality development.

  During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress this year, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader participated in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation, he sent a message that Jiangsu should "strive to build an industrial science and technology innovation center with global influence".

  Now, aiming at this goal, Suzhou Industrial Park has refined the action plan and specific indicators by 2025. "If China’s economy wants to develop upwards, achieve high-quality development and become an economic power, it depends on science and technology." The general secretary encouraged, "You are shouldering such a historical mission, which is both significant and glorious."

  Self-reliance in science and technology is the "great country" in the mind of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. During an inspection tour in Guangdong in April this year, the General Secretary pointed out that achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance is the key to Chinese modernization. During his inspection tour in Hebei in May, the General Secretary emphasized that accelerating the construction of a powerful country through science and technology is the strategic support for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way.

  In the exhibition hall of Central Industrial Park in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, the "transcripts" are arranged in a row:

  In 2019, the 12-inch photovoltaic silicon wafer was first released, which pushed the industry technology forward for 5 to 10 years and reduced the cost of photovoltaic power by 6.8%… … Now, we are aiming at the localization of semiconductor monocrystalline silicon for scientific and technological research.

  On June 7th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the industrial park to learn more about the R&D and production of products such as semiconductors and photovoltaic materials of enterprises in the park. He stressed: "Now, we must rely on high-level science and technology to stand on our own feet and build a new development pattern to overcome scientific and technological difficulties."

  With the new round of scientific and technological revolution and rapid industrial transformation, scientific and technological innovation has become an important engine to transform the mode of economic development and promote high-quality development.

  This year, all 16 million-kilowatt units of Baihetan Hydropower Station passed the acceptance inspection, Chang Erding’s "One Arrow and Four Stars" was successfully launched and formed the first wheeled satellite formation in the world, and the "Lucky Bird" AC332 helicopter successfully completed its first flight in full state … … The innovation engine is accelerating continuously, helping to open up new fields and new tracks, and shaping new development momentum and new advantages.

  With the support of the real economy, we will not take the road of detachment from reality to emptiness.

  In the exhibition hall of Guangzhou Automobile Aian New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., six new car products are lined up. During an inspection tour in Guangdong, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here and looked at them one by one with great interest, asking in great detail from price to sales volume, from material technology to battery technology.

  The general secretary said with emotion: "We are a big country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, and we cannot develop singly. We can’t rely on others, we have to rely on ourselves. We must attach importance to the real economy, take the road of self-reliance and achieve self-reliance in science and technology. "

  During this trip to Guangdong, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Chinese modernization can’t take the road of breaking away from reality and becoming virtual, and we must speed up the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy."

  Shortly after the inspection tour in Guangdong, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the first meeting of the 20th Central Financial and Economic Committee to study the problem of accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system, stressing that "the modern industrial system is the material and technological foundation of a modern country, and the focus of economic development must be placed on the real economy".

  Modern industrial system is the material and technical support for high-quality development, and it is also an important symbol to realize economic modernization.

In the current global economic difficulties, China’s market advantage will become more obvious. "

  Building a new open economic system at a higher level is a strategic measure that China takes the initiative to promote reform and development through opening up.

Micro-observation of current affairs focused on regional coordinated development twice in more than a month. What major arrangements did the General Secretary make?

After long summer, the Supreme Leader General Secretary came to Yanzhao — —

On May 10th, he visited xiong’an new area and presided over a symposium on promoting the construction of xiong’an new area with high standards and high quality. From May 11th to 12th, I visited Cangzhou and Shijiazhuang, and hosted a symposium to further promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

During the tight research trip, the General Secretary pointed out the direction for further promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei: "Strive to make Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei a pioneer and demonstration area for Chinese modernization."

A month ago, on the coast of the South China Sea, the General Secretary asked Guangdong to do a good job in the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with the efforts of the whole province, "to make Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area a strategic fulcrum of the new development pattern, a demonstration site of high-quality development and a leading place of Chinese modernization".

Major regional development strategies such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area are effective ways to promote Chinese modernization. At the same time, the two are important power sources to lead the country’s high-quality development. The general secretary’s two local inspections this year focused on coordinated regional development, which is full of profound meaning.

01. Realize high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.

As an important power source to lead the country’s high-quality development, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area have a large number of first-class universities and high-end research talents, with solid innovation foundation and strong strength. During the two local inspections, the general secretary paid attention to scientific and technological innovation and industrial development.

On May 12th, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited the China Institute of Electric Industry Foundation in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

On May 12th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to China Institute of Electric Industry Foundation in Shijiazhuang City and went into the production workshop to inspect the chip production process. He encouraged scientific and technological workers to make persistent efforts, bravely climb the peak of science and technology, constantly conquer cutting-edge technologies, and build more powerful countries and weapons that are self-reliant in science and technology.

In the planning exhibition hall of Shijiazhuang International Biomedical Park, Liu Wenfu, a technical expert, reported to the Supreme Leader General Secretary: "We have not only local enterprises for innovation and transformation, but also attracted many foreign innovations to land in Shijiazhuang." "The coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei provides a great opportunity for Shijiazhuang to undertake the industrial transfer of Beijing and Tianjin and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements."

The general secretary was very happy to hear Liu Wenfu say that the park has undertaken 65 biomedical research and development projects in Beijing and Tianjin. He stressed that it is necessary to strengthen the capacity building of basic research and scientific and technological innovation, and firmly grasp the lifeline of the development of biomedical industry in our own hands.

At the symposium on promoting the construction of xiong’an new area with high standards and high quality, the General Secretary emphasized that "the innovation-driven development strategy should be fully implemented", making xiong’an new area an innovative highland and a hot spot for entrepreneurship in the new era.

On April 12, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Guangzhou Automobile Aian New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd.

During the inspection tour in Guangdong, the General Secretary stressed that it is necessary to implement the innovation-driven development strategy in depth, strengthen the construction of regional innovation system, further enhance the ability of independent innovation, and strive to make greater progress in breaking through key core technical problems.

"Full implementation" and "in-depth implementation" all reflect the key role of realizing high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement in Chinese modernization.

02. Building a modern industrial system

Xuwen Port, Guangdong, the world’s largest passenger and cargo ro-ro terminal, is an important port connecting Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Hainan Free Trade Port and an important land-island transportation hub connecting Guangdong and Hainan provinces.

Huanghua Port in Hebei, radiating xiong’an new area, central and southern Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, is an important hub port for transporting coal from west to east and coal from north to south in China.

On April 10th, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Xuwen Port Special Terminal in xuwen county, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province.

During his trip to Guangdong last month, the Supreme Leader, General Secretary, inspected the berthing of ships and the transfer of passengers at Xuwen Port, stressing that Xuwen Port should be built into a modern integrated land and water transportation hub connecting Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Hainan Free Trade Port.

This time in Hebei, the General Secretary told him in Huanghua Port Coal Port Area: "We should continue to promote port transformation and upgrading and resource integration, optimize port functional layout, actively dock the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, build xiong’an new area with high standards and high quality, and jointly build ‘ Belt and Road ’ And other major strategic needs of the country will play a greater role in promoting the coordinated development of the regional economy and building a modern industrial system. "

On May 11th, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader had a cordial exchange with the dock staff and shipping personnel when he visited the dock of Huanghua Port in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province.

Port is a basic and pivotal facility, which plays an important role in the orderly linkage and efficient flow of various industries and is an important support for economic development. The general secretary’s two visits to the port contain expectations for promoting the construction of a modern industrial system.

For Guangdong, the General Secretary explicitly requested — — Always adhere to the manufacturing industry as the province, pay more attention to the development of the real economy, accelerate industrial transformation and upgrading, promote the upgrading of industrial base and the modernization of industrial chain, develop strategic emerging industries, and build a modern industrial system with more international competitiveness.

For Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the General Secretary deployed this way — — Consolidate and strengthen the foundation of the real economy, give top priority to the development of strategic emerging industries such as integrated circuits, network security, biomedicine, power equipment and safety emergency equipment, and strive to build a world-class advanced manufacturing cluster.

Chinese-style modernization can’t be divorced from reality, so we must speed up the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy.

03. Promote the common prosperity of all people.

Satisfying the people’s yearning for a better life is an important concern of the Supreme Leader General Secretary during his local inspection.

On April 11th, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader had a cordial exchange with on-site technicians at Litchi Plantation in Baiqiao Village, Genzi Town, Gaozhou City, Maoming, Guangdong Province.

On April 11th, in Baiqiao Village, Genzi Town, Gaozhou City, Maoming City, Guangdong Province, the General Secretary was very pleased to see that the villagers had lived a solid life by developing characteristic planting industries such as litchi. He said to everyone: "We must adhere to the road of common prosperity, strengthen assistance to the later rich, promote rural civilization, strengthen rural environmental improvement and ecological environmental protection, and make everyone’s life better every year."

Nanwenying Community in xiong’an new area is a representative community for resettling the relocated people. On May 10th, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here to have a cordial exchange with community workers, people working on the spot, and elderly people dining in the community. "I have been worried about the relocated people, and I am very pleased to see that everyone has a good life. To build a good xiong’an new area, it is important to link up living and working in peace and contentment, so that the people can live steadily, live safely and have a head start. "

On May 10th, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader had a cordial exchange with the elderly dining in Nanwenying Community Canteen in Rongdong District, xiong’an new area City, Hebei Province.

At the symposium on promoting the construction of xiong’an new area with high standards and high quality, the general secretary exhorted: "We should promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and blaze a new trail in narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas, promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas and promoting the common prosperity of all people."

After six years of construction, about 120,000 people in xiong’an new area are happy to move to their new homes, and high-quality education and medical resources have been gathered one after another. The first batch of four colleges and two hospitals have been selected, and the kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools supported by Beijing in a turnkey way have been completed and handed over to the new district, and the central enterprises have set up more than 140 institutions in the new district & HELIP; … The appearance of the "people’s city", which is suitable for business and living in the new era, is becoming increasingly clear.

Promoting regional coordinated development will ultimately be reflected in enhancing people’s well-being and promoting common prosperity. "Showing new achievements in promoting common prosperity" is the ardent expectation of the Supreme Leader General Secretary for Hebei.

On April 7, 2023, the original boat of Baiyangdian "water bus" project was in the trial operation stage.

China has a vast territory and a large population, and the world of natural resource endowment differences among regions is rare. How to give full play to the advantages of the socialist system and promote regional coordinated development is a major issue that must be solved in the process of China’s modernization.

"Imbalance is universal, and it is necessary to promote relative balance in development. This is the dialectics of regional coordinated development. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally planned, personally deployed and personally promoted the regional coordinated development strategy.

Looking at today’s China, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area are increasingly playing the role of high-quality development power sources. The Yangtze River and Yellow River are on the road of ecological priority and green development. The development gap between the east and the west continues to narrow, and the key role of important functional areas is more prominent. On the vast land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers, there is a picture scroll full of vitality.

The reporter asked them how they knew about the glass bridge. They said that they learned about it through friends and saw it on the news. This glass bridge is really shocking, glad you came.

The bridge deck of Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge is paved with 99 pieces of fully transparent glass. From a distance, the glass bridge is as thin as a cicada’s wing and "invisible" in the landscape and sky, with a relative height of about 300 meters from the bottom of the valley. Visitors can clearly see the cliffs under their feet when walking on the bridge, as if walking in the air.

Jetta is no longer Jetta, Jetta is still Jetta!

In our ordinary life, there are not many moments of "great joy", but many moments of "little happiness".

 

I remember a friend who used to drive a Jetta often told me: this car is cheap, fuel-efficient, and it’s solid to drive. It has never had any major problems, but it should be more perfect if it is bigger.

 

 

Now, his wish has come true. However, Jetta is no longer Jetta, Jetta is still Jetta.

 

one

On February 26th this year, Jetta officially declared "independence" in Wolfsburg, the German headquarters of Volkswagen, and became the third sub-brand of FAW-Volkswagen after Volkswagen and Audi.

 

Just last Saturday (June 22), FAW-Volkswagen officially announced that the last Jetta with VW logo was off the assembly line. At this point, with the Chinese people’s 28-year-old Jetta, the cumulative output of 4,418,287 vehicles officially came to an end.

 

 

Whether it is the title of "National God Car", "Evergreen Tree in the Car World" or the record of "the first 600,000 kilometers without overhaul", it has become history. Next, the Jetta brand, which hopes to further meet the car purchase needs of young users, will start a new journey in the China market.

 

 

Then the first thing to meet with consumers is the Jetta VS5, a compact entry-level SUV born on the Volkswagen MQB A1 platform.

 

two

Perhaps everyone has their own understanding and cognition of Jetta, and today’s Jetta has become a brand-new brand with a brand-new brand spirit and design language.

 

I admit, if someone told me that the VS5 is a product of any brand, I wouldn’t be surprised by its slightly exaggerated front face shape. But when the word Jetta is added in front of it, I have to look at it more. After all, it is so different from the "Jetta" we imagined.

 

 

Brand-new car logo, raised cabin lines, sharp all-LED headlights, bite-type lower grille and prominent silver fender … Of course, the most eye-catching thing is that the large-size medium net is decorated with armor-like large chrome scales, and the visual effect is still very domineering.

 

 

From the side and the rear of the car, there is still a familiar public taste. A straight waistline that runs through the whole body and a full and three-dimensional tail profile look neat and concise, and at the same time highlight the power sense of an SUV.

 

 

In addition, the chrome trim on the door handle, the 18-inch two-color aluminum alloy rim, the taillight group with Y-shaped elements and the bottom guard plate echoing the front of the car also add a lot of fashion and sportiness to the VS5, which focuses on the young market.

 

 

three

From the design style of the car, we can feel that the designer hopes to continue this vitality. Center console inclined to the driver’s side; The multifunctional steering wheel with flat bottom, what I like most is the yellow and black contrast seat with leather cloth stitching, which is very soft and supportive.

 

 

To be honest, the large area of plastic material didn’t surprise me. On the contrary, the designer skillfully used piano paint, hot stamping, leather and other elements to create a rare sense of high-level visual effect for the whole interior.

 

 

What’s more, there are ACC adaptive cruise, automatic engine start and stop, automatic headlights, intelligent rain wiper, parking radar, tire pressure monitoring, hyperbolic automatic air conditioning, front seat heating and other crowded configurations.

 

 

But what makes me laugh and cry is the 8-inch touch screen in the mouth of this staff. I don’t know if everyone, like me, questioned it when they first saw it: you told me it was only 8 inches when it was so big?

 

 

When I really started the vehicle, I realized that since I am a staff member, how can I fool people?

 

 

But in any case, the internal UI design is simple and smooth, and it also supports Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife and Volkswagen’s own WeLink, which is very convenient to use.

 

 

For me, who is 189cm tall, I must also give a compliment to the back space of Jetta VS5. Although it comes from the same platform as Tange, the length, width and height of Jetta VS5 (4419/1841/1616mm) are better than Tange, even hackers who are good at riding comfort. Of course, the wheelbase of 2630mm also contributed.

 

 

wanton

Starting from Yan ‘an, passing through Hukou Waterfall and finally arriving in Xi ‘an, this nearly 500-kilometer journey includes urban roads, expressways, national highways and mountain roads.

 

In the words of the staff, in choosing this test drive line, we should not only understand the spirit of Jetta brand’s perseverance and hard work, but also let everyone feel how Jetta VS5 works.

 

 

In fact, if we only look at the engine configuration in the bright side, there is no need to say more about the dynamic performance of Jetta VS5. After all, everyone is familiar with Volkswagen’s EA211 engine with a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 250 N m.

 

 

However, Jetta VS5 is not static. It does not use Volkswagen’s "ancestral" DSG gearbox, but is equipped with AQ250 six-speed automatic manual transmission from Aisin. So what kind of chemical reaction will this combination bring?

 

 

After two days of test drive, the performance of this powertrain is still remarkable. First of all, the EA211 engine has maintained a high standard as always, and it can easily drive the vehicle forward in any road.

 

 

There is no problem with the shift logic of 6AT gearbox, and the upshift is very positive. During normal driving, the speed will always be stable below 2000rpm, ensuring the best fuel economy. When you want to accelerate quickly, it can also help you complete the overtaking action by quickly lowering one or two gears.

 

 

But perhaps the only thing that makes me feel different from other Volkswagen models is that the throttle adjustment of Jetta VS5 needs to be adapted well. Not that it is hard or a thief, on the contrary, the accelerator stroke of this car is very long, and the first third of the basic pedal is empty. Therefore, every time you speed up, you need to step on the accelerator as much as possible, which will give people an illusion of slow speed.

 

 

Fortunately, light steering and foot-following braking can make up for this regret. At the same time, the front McPherson rear multi-link independent suspension is mainly comfortable, and the comfort and support are still very good when passing through various speed bumps and unpaved roads.

 

 

Finally, I would like to praise the control of NVH by Jetta VS5. Except for a growl from the engine room when accelerating in the middle and high speed range, I won’t feel obvious wind noise and tire noise during the whole process, so I can sleep in the back row. Of course, sitting in the back of Jetta VS5, if the phone is dead, it seems that there is really nothing to do but sleep.

 

Write to the end:

 

Haruki Murakami defines the tiny but sure happiness and satisfaction when the little things vaguely expected in his heart happen to you as "little luck". Indeed, the beauty of "small luck" lies in its smallness, which can be found everywhere as long as we observe it attentively.

 

And Jetta VS5 gives me the feeling that it is made up of "small fortunes". When all the expectations for it are realized, even it will do better. I believe this is the biggest highlight of Jetta VS5.

It is not difficult to talk about "Bao’s comedy". Princess Clara hugs Bao Beier.

1905 movie network news On September 26th, the film held a premiere conference in Beijing. Director and starring Bao Beier, director Janet Chun, actor Wen, Clara, Yoko Spicy, Xu Juncong, Yijun Zeng and Zhang Menglu attended the premiere conference.

First hero, who became each other’s films, never forgot to make fun of the works directed by themselves. Bao Beier laughed and said that he was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award, and was immediately refuted by the article: "What happened to Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li?" Later, Bao Beier said that he had submitted performance awards to major film festivals for the article, hoping that the article would win an award.


When it comes to starring in the Fat Man Action Team, the article says that it is not difficult to star in the "Bao’s comedy". "I can play it when I come up, and it is quite good after the performance." He also revealed that it is not easy to put on the "fat skin" every day, and he only needs to wear makeup for 10 hours, but Bao Beier directs and acts, and wears makeup for almost 15 hours every day.


Recalling being on the set with the article, Bao Beier relayed what the article said to himself. He recalled that the article said to himself after one day’s work: "Xiao Bao, only I can accompany you to do this. If you can do it, I will accompany you. "


In addition to the article, this time Bao Beier also invited Clara and Yoko Ramo to play the "beautiful agents" in the film. Clara gave Bao Beier a princess hug at the scene, like a goddess of strength. Yoko Mori laughed and said that Bao Beier invited himself because he took a fancy to his beauty and attracted Bao Beier’s spit, saying, "It’s all for publicity."
