　　Changde: Painting a New Volume in Peach Blossom Garden

　　Yun Fan hangs all over the place, and the tide surges. Since the founding of New China 70 years ago, Changde’s economic and social development has reached a new level, and its comprehensive strength has been firmly in the forefront of Hunan Province. In 2018, the GDP of Changde reached 339.42 billion yuan, 585 times that of 1952 and 145 times that of 1978.

　　Changde, located in the west of Dongting Lake, suffered from floods in the past, with nine floods in ten years, and suffered from war, making people miserable. After the founding of New China, Changde was reborn to control floods, restore agricultural production and develop industry and commerce. Since the reform and opening up, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Changde has been guided by the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, implemented the new development concept, embarked on the road of high-quality development, and won a series of shining honors: the first batch of international wetland cities, the first batch of pilot cities for sponge city construction in China, national forest cities, beautiful landscape cities in China, and national civilized cities.

　　As the prototype location of Tao Yuanming’s Peach Blossom Garden, Changde gives a new meaning to "Peach Blossom Garden", taking green development and harmonious coexistence between man and nature as new pursuits, and creating a beautiful new city with good mountains and good water, livable and suitable for business, safety and happiness. Implement the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and Dongting Lake Ecological Economic Zone, coordinate the protection and restoration of the landscape, forest, field, lake and grass system, and solve the problems of industrial and urban sewage treatment, so as to "protect a river and clear water". Draw water into the city, open the moat, control the black and smelly water body, realize the comprehensive utilization of rainwater and build a sponge city. Strictly control environmental access and never introduce projects with high energy consumption and high pollution. Constantly improve the level of opening up, accelerate the integration into the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and write a new chapter of high-quality development in the transformation of the relationship between people and industry, people and cities, and people and nature.

　　In Changde, where the prototype of Tao Yuanming’s Peach Blossom Garden is located, green development and harmony between man and nature are regarded as new pursuits, and a "city in the Peach Blossom Garden" has been built, which has achieved great leaps and historic achievements.

　　Changde, located in the west of Dongting Lake, suffered from floods in the past, with nine floods in ten years, and suffered from war, making people miserable. After the founding of New China, Changde was reborn to control floods, restore agricultural production and develop industry and commerce. After the reform and opening up, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Changde, guided by the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, has integrated the concept of "Peach Blossom Garden" into urban construction and economic development, embarked on the road of high-quality development, and painted a beautiful new picture, becoming the first batch of international wetland cities, the first batch of pilot cities for sponge city construction in China, national forest cities, beautiful landscape cities in China, and national civilized cities.

　　After 70 years of hard work, Changde’s economic and social development has reached a new level, and its comprehensive strength is at the forefront of Hunan Province. In 2018, the GDP of Changde reached 339.42 billion yuan, 585 times that of 1952 and 145 times that of 1978.

　　 Eliminating flood security rings

　　In early September, the west Dongting Lake was misty and gulls soared. Liu Kehuan, president of the West Dongting Lake Wetland Protection Association, led some members to row a boat to the half of the West Dongting Lake to salvage the garbage on the lake. Looking at the free-flying waterfowl on the lake, he was as happy as a child: "After the European and American poplars were cut down, the environment in the West Dongting Lake became better day by day, snails and aquatic plants grew, fish and shrimp increased, and migratory birds flew back. A few years ago, the lake area was covered with European and American poplars, and there were less than 10,000 migratory birds. Now there are more than 30,000. "

　　Liu Kehuan, 55 years old, once farmed crabs around 10,000 mu of lake. After the renovation of the ecological environment of the West Dongting Lake, he realized that he could not "smash the rice bowls of his descendants", took the initiative to dismantle the purse seine, and joined the West Dongting Lake Wetland Protection Association to lead more than 380 local fishermen to guard the West Dongting Lake.

　　From "eating the lake" to "protecting the lake", Liu Kehuan’s transformation reflects the change of the relationship between man and water. Dongting Lake is one of the key and difficult points in water control in China. Changde, located in the west of Dongting Lake, has a dense river network and complex water system. "The moon is bright and the weather is dry for five nights, and the rain falls for three dynasties and is afraid of flooding."

　　Before the founding of New China, when there was a flood in Changde, there were often "ten dikes and nine collapses". Since the founding of New China 70 years ago, the Party and the government have led the people in a hard struggle against floods, and their flood control capacity has become stronger and stronger. "In the summer of 1998, a major flood occurred in the Yangtze River basin, and the gold embankment in Gongan County, Hubei Province burst, and the river reached Anxiang. If it can’t be stopped, the flood will sweep Anxiang and Dongting. More than 2,000 officers and men of the People’s Liberation Army and more than 4,000 cadres and masses, after 16 days of fighting, built a 43.5-meter-high dam and blocked flood peaks again and again. " Recalling the scene of resisting floods in those years, Li Chuanjun, a member of the party group and chief engineer of Changde Water Resources Bureau, still remembers it vividly.

　　In order to change the dilemma of resisting floods every year, Changde people have completed major water conservancy projects such as the construction of embankment of West Dongting Lake and the flood diversion of Jingjiang River, systematically managed Dongting Lake and built urban flood control circle. At present, there are 38 independent flood control circles in Changde, with dikes as long as 2,870 kilometers. Residents on both sides of Yuan and Li live in harmony with water.

　　Changde people who have struggled with water for many years have also formed a deep sense of hardship. In recent years, the investment in water conservancy construction in Changde has exceeded 100 million yuan every year, and higher requirements have been put forward for water conservancy, returning farmland to lakes, restoring ecology and turning water disasters into water conservancy. At present, there are 190,100 hectares of wetlands in the city, and the wetland protection rate is over 70%.

　　Grasp the great protection together, not the great development. Changde keeps in mind the instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, implements the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and Dongting Lake Ecological Economic Zone, coordinates the protection and restoration of the landscape, forest, field, lake and grass system, makes great efforts to promote the three-year action plan for the special rectification of Dongting Lake, and focuses on solving the problems of industrial and urban sewage treatment, so as to "protect a river and clear water".

　　The European and American poplars planted in a large area once seriously affected the Dongting Lake ecosystem. At the end of 2017, Changde cut down and cleared all 51,000 mu of European and American poplars in the core area of West Dongting Lake Reserve. The 71,000 mu of European and American poplars in the buffer zone and experimental area will also be completely cleared this year and next. The west Dongting Lake ecosystem is gradually restored, migratory birds return, and people and water, and people and nature coexist harmoniously.

　　   Half-city landscape and half-city building

　　"When the new China was founded, the central city of Changde had a total area of only 3.45 square kilometers and a population of more than 50,000. The buildings were mainly shacks and diaojiao buildings." Liu Jianwu, member of the party group and deputy director of Changde Natural Resources and Planning Bureau, introduced.

　　In 1986, the Yuanshui Bridge, Wuling Avenue and Dongting Avenue were completed, which greatly opened the urban skeleton of Changde. Ma Chengbin, former director of Changde City Transportation Bureau, remembers that when the Yuanshui Bridge was opened to traffic, people stood on the bridge and shouted, "Long live communist party!" After 70 years of development, the urban area of Changde has now reached 99 square kilometers and the urban population is nearly 1 million. In the process of urban development, Changde insists on the integrity of natural ecological environment, delineates the red line between buildings and urban roads, and builds parks and green spaces extensively to keep urban greening and leisure space.

　　Water is a unique resource in Changde, and the urban water area accounts for 35.5%. In the past, extensive urban development destroyed the environment, resulting in cross-flow of sewage. At that time, there was a jingle: "In the 1960 s, rice was washed and vegetables were washed. In the 1970 s, the water quality deteriorated. In the 1980 s, fish and shrimp were peerless, and in the 1990 s, they suffered physically and mentally."

　　In the new century, Changde has changed from flood control to water resources management, and the city has changed from pursuing value to pursuing both value and temperament, which requires both safety and water beauty. In 2006, Changde introduced the engineering technology of Hanover Water Association in Germany, and used the concept of sponge city to systematically control water, divert water into the city, open the moat, control the black and odorous water body, realize the comprehensive utilization of rainwater, and actively explore the city to adapt to climate change and build a sponge city. Comprehensively manage the Chuanzi River basin, implement the river-lake connection project, connect Yuanjiang, Liuye Lake and Chuanzi River into a whole, resume the navigation of Chuanzi River, which has been interrupted for nearly 40 years, turn the shore around the lake into a beach park, build a marathon track and create a series of coastal hydrophilic landscapes. "In order to retain the memory of the city, we also selected 211 old architectural styles from old photos and restored Dahe Street along the Chuanzi River." Huang Jinling, director of Changde Sponge Office, said that this has not only built the city into a beautiful home, but also carried the homesickness of the citizens.

　　Changde is now half city with mountains and rivers and half towers. Living here, people can see mountains and water, and remember to live in homesickness. Xin Jianping, who lives in the east of the city, is an "old Changde" and is full of praise for today’s Damei homeland: "The upgrading of the east of the city has opened up Jianshe Road, and Yong ‘an Park has been built by the Chuanzi River. I used to send my grandson to Dongsheng Primary School. It took half an hour to get stuck in a traffic jam. Now I take Jianshe Road and get to school in 5 minutes. Now I will go to Yong’ an Park after dinner, and the children don’t want to go home every day. "

　　   Ecological priority promotes development.

　　The tower cranes produced by Zoomlion Construction Lifting Machinery Company located in Changde are exported to more than 60 countries and regions. Hunan Feiwo New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. produces "embedded screw sleeves" for wind power blades, accounting for 40% of the global market segment; Brands such as "Devin Screen" have become world-renowned brands in the fields of industrial GUI (Graphical User Interface); The high-quality agricultural products produced by Changde have entered the "vegetable basket" of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area residents … In the process of promoting the construction of ecological civilization, Changde has implemented the new development concept and continuously promoted the high-quality economic and social development.

　　Building an ecological civilization is inseparable from the support of strong economic strength. Changde is a well-known granary, tea town, tobacco capital, textile city and wine market. After Gu Junchen, the old factory director, sold the jeep given by Marshal He Long and developed, Changde Cigarette Factory once held up half the sky of Changde industry after three changes of location, seven rounds of technical transformation and five transformations.

　　But in the past, extensive development affected the environment and was unsustainable. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Changde has adhered to ecological priority, strictly controlled environmental access, never introduced high-energy and high-pollution projects, and never wanted black GDP. Xu Ping, member of the party group and chief engineer of Changde City Ecological Environment Bureau, said that since 2017, Changde has closed 190 "scattered, chaotic and polluted" industrial enterprises and rectified 101. In 2018 alone, 16 projects that did not meet the requirements of industrial policies and planning and were improperly located were rejected, including 6 projects with an investment of over 100 million yuan.

　　"Strictly control the environment and benefit from high-quality development." Liu Fanrong, Party Secretary and Director of Changde Development and Reform Commission, said that in recent years, Changde has further promoted "opening up a strong city and establishing a city by industry", deepened structural reform on the supply side, accelerated the pace of transformation and upgrading, and actively built a modern industrial system. Guide the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and eliminate excess capacity. Cultivate emerging industries, promote intelligent manufacturing, and develop characteristic industrial parks. Around biomedicine and health food, advanced equipment manufacturing, cultural tourism and health care industries, we will build a new industrial aircraft carrier group by supplementing, strengthening and extending the chain.

　　Changde’s continuous accumulation of strength has changed the industrial development pattern, from "one cigarette alone" to "multi-point support". A number of strategic investors, such as China Pharmaceutical, Shanghai Fosun and French Schneider, have successively settled in Changde. In the first half of this year, Changde’s industrial investment in fixed assets and high-tech industries increased by 46% and 35.2% respectively, while new industries such as new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection increased by more than 30%.

　　Mu xinxin is thriving, and the spring begins to flow. Standing at a new starting point, Changde will continuously improve its opening level, accelerate its integration into the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, find a new development realm of harmony between man and nature in the Peach Blossom Garden and write a new chapter of high-quality development in the transformation of the relationship between man and industry, man and city, and man and nature.
