Stride towards the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature —— General Secretary of the Supreme Leader leads the reform of ecological civilization system in the new era to advanc

  Chinese modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

  Reform is the fundamental driving force to promote Chinese modernization, and it is also an important magic weapon to push forward the construction of ecological civilization.

  Since the new era, under the scientific guidance of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, the construction of ecological civilization has undergone historic, turning and overall changes from theory to practice. In this historical process, system construction runs through it — —

  Two important documents, Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization and Overall Plan for the Reform of Ecological Civilization System, were issued to form a programmatic framework of ecological civilization system and accelerate the top-level design and institutional system construction of ecological civilization;

  Establish a central eco-environmental protection supervision system, improve the performance evaluation and accountability system of ecological civilization;

  Write ecological civilization into the constitution, and form a legal system of ecological environmental protection covering more than 30 laws, more than 100 administrative regulations and more than 1,000 local regulations;

  Formulate and implement the Regulations on Ecological Protection Compensation, and basically build an ecological protection compensation mechanism with the widest coverage, the largest number of beneficiaries and the largest investment in the world;

  The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee further proposed "deepening the reform of ecological civilization system" and "improving the system of ecological civilization system".

  … … … …

  Reform makes great efforts to promote "governance" with "control".

  Adhering to the system construction as the main line, the reform of the ecological civilization system has been comprehensively deepened and deepened, the system of ecological civilization system has basically taken shape, the quality of the ecological environment has been continuously improved, China’s sky is bluer, the land is greener, the water is clearer, and Wan Li’s rivers and mountains are more colorful.

  "We must always adhere to the strictest system and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment."

  "Microgram by microgram ‘ Hey ’ Back to the blue sky, the sky in Beijing is getting better and better. " Li Yunting, director of the atmospheric room of Beijing Ecological Environment Monitoring Center, who likes photography, said that now the night sky "star track" can also be photographed in the urban area, and everyone’s blue sky happiness has been significantly improved.

  The blue sky is always there and the air is always fresh, which is a real sense of happiness. The "blue sky defense war" makes the days of blue sky, white clouds and stars flicker more and more year by year, and China has become the country with the fastest improvement in air quality in the world.

  On April 3, 2024, the top leaders of the Party and state, Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Li Xi and Han Zheng came to Lucheng Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing to participate in the voluntary tree planting activities in the capital. This is the supreme leader planting trees with everyone. Xinhua News Agency reporter Ju Peng photo

  Since the new era, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, China’s achievements in ecological civilization construction have attracted worldwide attention and become a remarkable symbol of historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the state in the new era.

  General Secretary of Supreme Leader attaches great importance to the construction of system of ecological civilization system, emphasizing that "the protection of ecological environment must rely on the system and the rule of law" and "we must always adhere to the strictest system and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment".

  Accelerate system innovation, increase system supply, improve system matching, and form a system of ecological civilization framework with strict prevention of source, strict management of process, compensation for damages and severe punishment of consequences.

  Far-reaching and comprehensive deployment — —

  The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has comprehensively deepened the reform, accelerated the top-level design and institutional system construction of ecological civilization, and made comprehensive and systematic arrangements for the construction of ecological civilization from the aspects of overall objectives, basic concepts, main principles, key tasks and institutional guarantee.

  "To deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system, system of ecological civilization’s ‘ Four beams and eight columns ’ Established and put the construction of ecological civilization into the track of institutionalization and rule of law. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed.

  The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed to establish a systematic and complete system of ecological civilization system.

  In 2015, the Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization and the Overall Plan for the Reform of Ecological Civilization System were issued;

  In June 2018 and November 2021, the Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Ecological Environmental Protection and Resolutely Fighting the Battle of Pollution Prevention and Control and the Opinions on Fighting the Battle of Pollution Prevention and Control in Depth were issued respectively;

  In September 2021, the Opinions on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job of Carbon Neutralization in peak carbon dioxide emissions was issued;

  In December 2023, the Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of Beautiful China was issued;

  … … … …

  Relevant departments have issued special reform documents in the fields of urban and rural construction, green development, national parks, ecological environment monitoring, river (lake) length system, ecological protection red line, ecological protection compensation, ecological product value realization, carbon footprint, carbon trading, and ecological environmental protection supervision, so as to promote the reform of ecological civilization system in an all-round and balanced way.

  A series of supporting systems were introduced one after another, and dozens of reform programs were implemented one after another. Focus on improving the property rights system of natural resources assets, establishing a spatial planning system, improving the paid use of resources and the ecological compensation system, and make full efforts to reform the ecological civilization system, laying a solid foundation for protecting green mountains and green rivers.

  Systematic promotion, treating both the symptoms and the root causes — —

  In the process of promoting the reform of ecological civilization system, we should pay attention to the combination of point and surface, treat both the symptoms and root causes of the reform, and pay attention to the systematicness, integrity and synergy of the reform measures, and change from local exploration and breaking through the ice to systematic integration and comprehensive deepening.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "Insist on the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, fields, lakes, grass and sand" and "Strengthen the systematic management, comprehensive management and collaborative management of ecological environment of major rivers and lakes".

  Fully implement the evaluation system of ecological civilization construction objectives, carry out the audit of leading cadres’ natural resources assets, and implement the lifelong accountability system for ecological environment damage, so that the quality of ecological environment becomes a hard constraint;

  Adhere to precise pollution control, scientific pollution control, and pollution control according to law, and deepen the defense of blue sky, clear water and pure land, so that the people can share the beauty of nature, life and life;

  Reform the ecological environment supervision system, build a national space development and protection system, give play to the guiding role of green economic policies, and build a market-oriented green technology innovation system;

  Creatively put forward the red line system of ecological protection, comprehensively promote the construction of nature reserves system with national parks as the main body, and implement the integrated protection and restoration project of mountains, rivers, fields, lakes, grass and sand;

  … … … …

  In accordance with the integrity, systematicness and inherent laws of the ecosystem, China adheres to overall protection, system restoration and comprehensive management, carries out ecological environment protection in an all-round, all-regional and whole-process manner, and builds a national ecological security barrier.

  A series of reform and innovation initiatives have taken root and jointly built the cornerstone of the system of ecological civilization system.

  The escort of the rule of law is solid and powerful — —

  Promoting the construction of ecological civilization with the concept and method of rule of law is an important content of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought.

  The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee put forward: "The rule of law is an important guarantee for Chinese modernization." We must adhere to the rule of law, deepen reform and promote Chinese modernization on the track of the rule of law, achieve the unity of reform and the rule of law, make major reforms based on the law, and promptly upgrade the reform results into a legal system.

  The practice of promoting the reform of ecological civilization system in the new era shows that only the strictest rule of law can provide reliable guarantee for the construction of ecological civilization.

  In the new era, China’s ecological environment legislation has been comprehensively improved from quantity to quality.

  Writing ecological civilization into the constitution has established the constitutional status of ecological civilization. Implement the "strictest environmental protection law in history" and formulate and revise more than 20 laws related to ecological environment, covering the fields of atmosphere, water, soil, noise, etc.: formulate wetland protection law, amend forest law and grassland law, formulate Yangtze River protection law and Yellow River protection law … … At present, the legal system of eco-environmental protection in Socialism with Chinese characteristics has basically taken shape.

  The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee put forward: "Compiling ecological environment code." Experts said that this will help to integrate and improve the current legal system of ecological environment, strengthen the legal guarantee for the construction of beautiful China, and further improve the legal level of ecological environment governance.

  Huang Runqiu, Minister of Ecology and Environment, said that since the new era, a distinctive feature of China’s promotion of ecological civilization construction is to give full play to the fundamental and long-term role of the system, and the increasingly dense system of ecological civilization system has become a reliable guarantee for ecological civilization construction.

  "We must not let the system regulations become ‘ Toothless tiger ’ "

  "The problem of urban domestic sewage collection and treatment is outstanding", "The random dumping of construction waste destroys the ecology" and "Some plateau lakes are poorly protected and managed" … … From May to June this year, the third round of the second batch of seven central eco-environmental protection inspectors stationed in seven provinces (cities) such as Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, Yunnan, etc., to co-ordinate the development of river basin inspectors and provincial inspectors, and exposed 28 typical cases.

  Each inspector group not only pays attention to the integrity of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the common problems of the ecological environment, but also identifies the outstanding problems of various provinces (cities), insists on moving the truth and hitting the hard, goes deep into the front line and the scene, and verifies a number of outstanding ecological environment problems. Relevant provinces (cities) regard inspectors as an important part of resolutely implementing the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, as an important opportunity to promote high-quality development, and vigorously promote the implementation of rectification.

  The order must be believed and the law must be enforced. The vitality of the system lies in its implementation, and the key lies in grasping it truly and relying on strict management.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "It is necessary to further establish, improve and strictly implement the ecological environment laws and regulations, and persist in applying, consolidating and expanding the practices and experiences of strong supervision, strict law enforcement and serious accountability."

  The central ecological environmental protection inspector is the key measure.

  — — Strengthen the implementation of the system, strictly use the system to govern officials, protect the blue and increase the green.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "The rigidity and authority of the system must be firmly established, and no choice, flexibility or discount is allowed." "The system provisions must never be ‘ Toothless tiger ’ " .

  The central eco-environmental protection inspector, personally planned, deployed and promoted by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, has promoted the solution of the "chronic diseases" of the ecological environment in some places for many years, and has become a hard move to urge local governments to implement their ecological environmental protection responsibilities. From the end of 2015 to June 2022, two rounds of inspectors completed the full coverage of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, 2 the State Council departments and 6 central enterprises. In November last year, the third round of inspectors was fully launched.

  — — Focus on outstanding contradictions and major issues in the field of ecological environment, get rid of "hard bones" and eliminate "long-standing problems".

  In Shantou City, Guangdong Province, the beautiful scenery of "practicing one river in white" reappears. Once upon a time, the heavily polluted Lianjiang River was covered with water hyacinths, which looked like a grassland from a distance. In April 2017, Lianjiang was named by the inspector for the first time. One year later, the inspector "looked back" and continued to focus on the pollution control of Lianjiang. The five-level linkage of cities, counties, towns and villages in Guangdong Province has increased the intensity of pollution control in Lianjiang and made up the debts of environmental remediation.

  The local person in charge said that the pollution accumulated by Lianjiang for a long time once discouraged everyone. The central eco-environmental protection inspector has awakened the sense of responsibility in training the river, and made a major breakthrough in a short period of time in what he dared not think, do or do in the past.

  In Muli mining area, Qinghai Province, the slag mountain was reshaped by brush slope and regreened by planting grass, and the mining pit was treated and backfilled. All 144 mining rights in Qilian Mountain National Nature Reserve in Gansu Province have been classified and withdrawn, and the style of lush water plants and galloping horses has been gradually restored; Illegal villas in Xi ‘an at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province have been demolished and more than 3,700 mu of green plants have been restored, basically completing ecological restoration and management … …

  — — It not only focuses on digging out the root causes of ecological and environmental problems, but also promotes the adjustment of industrial structure and optimization of industrial layout, and promotes high-quality economic and social development.

  Eleven provinces (cities) in the Yangtze River Economic Belt have retreated 457 kilometers from the coastline of the Yangtze River, and the water quality of the main stream of the Yangtze River has remained Grade II for four consecutive years; Yangpu Riverside in Shanghai occupies the traditional "industrial rust belt" of the first-line river view, and has been transformed into a living shoreline, an ecological shoreline and a landscape shoreline dominated by parks and green spaces, and turned to a "life show belt". A number of illegal and illegal projects have been dealt with according to law, a number of traditional industries have been optimized and upgraded, and a number of green ecological industries have been accelerated.

  — — Take the "small problems" of the masses as the "big things" of concern, so that the people can really feel the improvement of the quality of the ecological environment.

  Black odor of water, garbage heaps, odor of oil fume and noise disturb people … … Central eco-environmental protection inspectors always adhere to the people first, focusing not only on "hard bones" and "long-standing problems", but also on "things around" and "small problems" that plague the masses. The inspector group fully believes in the masses, mobilizes them and relies on them, and always focuses on solving outstanding problems strongly reflected by the masses, and has established a complete working mechanism for reporting acceptance, transfer, verification, supervision and return visit. The ecological environment around the masses has changed visibly and tangibly.

  Let the system become a rigid constraint and an untouchable high-voltage line. Nowadays, the responsibility system for ecological environmental protection of local party and government leading cadres has been continuously established and improved, and the audit system for the departure of leading cadres’ natural resources assets has been further promoted. The responsibility for ecological environmental protection has been consolidated in all directions, such as "Party and government share the same responsibility" and "one post and two responsibilities".

  "I am Jinhua Ecological Environment Bureau, and I found an abnormal mutation in the online data of Rouhui Knitting Co., Ltd. in your jurisdiction on the supervision platform. Please go to the site to check and dispose of it immediately."

  On May 5 this year, after receiving the verification instruction from the Municipal Bureau, the law enforcement officers of Yiwu Branch immediately rushed to the scene. By analyzing the field data and collecting the monitoring video, it was verified that the relevant personnel of the company had artificially interfered with the automatic monitoring equipment after discovering that the online monitoring data exceeded the standard. Now the case has been handed over to the public security organ for further handling.

  From the reform of the vertical management system of monitoring, supervision and law enforcement of environmental protection institutions below the provincial level to the establishment of a national ecological protection red line supervision platform; From the establishment of positive list system to accurate law enforcement with the help of high-tech means … … China’s ecological environment supervision and law enforcement efforts have been continuously strengthened to further improve the efficiency of ecological environment governance.

  "We must plan and promote the new journey of ecological environmental protection with a higher position, broader vision and greater efforts."

  "The structural, root and trend pressures of China’s ecological environmental protection have not been fundamentally alleviated. China’s economic and social development has entered a high-quality development stage of accelerating greening and low carbonization, and the construction of ecological civilization is still in a critical period of pressure superposition and heavy burden. We must plan and promote the new journey of ecological environmental protection with a higher position, broader vision and greater efforts, and write a new chapter in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era. " The great judgment made by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader marks the course for the construction of ecological civilization in the new era.

  Building the ecological foundation of Chinese modernization and solving various problems in the construction of ecological civilization still depend on system and reform.

  The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee has made significant arrangements for deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system, which fully embodies the great attention and strategic planning of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, and points out the way forward for deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system and comprehensively promoting the construction of beautiful China in the new era and new journey.

  Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s thought of ecological civilization, all localities and departments have accelerated the improvement of the system and mechanism for implementing the Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets concept, and solidly promoted the implementation of various reform objectives and tasks.

  — — Improve the basic system of ecological civilization and support high-quality development with high-quality ecological environment.

  Dealing with the relationship between development and protection is a worldwide problem and an eternal topic facing the development of human society.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out the direction: "High-level protection is an important support for high-quality development, and high-quality development with ecological priority, green and low carbon can only be achieved by high-level protection."

  In July this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the Interim Provisions on Zoning Management of Ecological Environment, which is one of the N documents in the field of ecological environment to promote the "1+N" policy system of new quality productivity.

  "Using the results of ecological environment zoning control, we intervened in advance and actively served, and the construction unit effectively avoided the red line of ecological protection by adjusting and optimizing the site selection." Tan Ying, head of the administrative examination and approval department of Lijiang Ecological Environment Bureau, Yunnan Province, said. In Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, many photovoltaic panels shine in the sun. In March this year, the watershed 70 MW photovoltaic power generation project realized full-capacity grid-connected power generation.

  Zoning control of ecological environment, establishing a "green scale" according to regional environmental carrying capacity, functional purposes, etc., knowing the location of investment and construction projects, and knowing the access of regulatory authorities, to ensure the high level of environmental protection and high quality development of enterprises. China has demarcated nearly 45,000 eco-environmental management and control units, in order to develop a "clear bottom line" and "draw a border".

  Huang Chengliang, secretary-general and researcher of the Research Center for Ecological Civilization Thought, the supreme leader of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that the Decision proposed a series of reform measures around improving the basic system of ecological civilization, which will continuously improve the basic system of ecological civilization, promote the system of ecological civilization system to be more mature and stereotyped, and consolidate the institutional foundation of ecological civilization construction.

  — — Improve the ecological environment governance system and improve the systematic and scientific governance capacity.

  The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee put forward: "Improve the ecological environment governance system".

  The modernization of ecological environment governance system and governance capacity is the basic support for promoting ecological civilization construction and ecological environment protection. Perfecting the realization mechanism of eco-product value is the key path to practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s idea, and it is also the inevitable requirement to promote the modernization of eco-environmental governance system and governance capacity from the source.

  Ying Ge Ridge hinterland of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, Innovation Village of Nankai Township, Baisha Li Autonomous County, and full of green, a ridge of tea trees. Fu Yayu, a tea farmer, is busy. "Tea is produced here all year round, and my nursery is expected to bring in more than 40 thousand yuan."

  Tang Shi, secretary-general of Baisha Tea Industry Association, is more confident about the future development. "Accelerate the ecological industrialization and industrial ecologicalization, piece by piece ‘ Green leaves ’ , can become rich ‘ Jinye ’ 。”

  Improve the system and mechanism of precise pollution control, scientific pollution control and pollution control according to law, deepen the reform of environmental information disclosure system according to law, implement the red line management system of ecological protection, implement the rigid constraint system of water resources and deepen the reform of paid use system of natural resources … … The reform measures mentioned in the "Decision" aim at the weak links of the ecological civilization system and constantly improve the ecological environment governance system, which will fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all kinds of subjects to participate in environmental governance and provide a solid guarantee for building a beautiful China.

  — — Improve the green and low-carbon development mechanism and promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.

  The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee put forward: "Improve the green and low-carbon development mechanism." This has pointed out the direction for the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development in the future.

  In the final analysis, the problem of ecological environment is the problem of development mode and lifestyle. It is necessary to take 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.

  Foshan City, Guangdong Province, launched a pilot project of product carbon labeling to promote low-carbon development, calculated the carbon footprint of products, issued certificates for qualified enterprise products, and guided low-carbon production and consumption;

  Luzhou City, Sichuan Province launched the "Green Bud Integral" applet, established a personal carbon account, and ranked personal low-carbon emission reduction as quantification, turning it into a "carbon wallet" and a carbon asset … …

  Not long ago, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other 15 departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan on Establishing a Carbon Footprint Management System", which listed 22 main tasks to promote the refinement, implementation and landing of carbon footprint work in an all-round and whole-chain way.

  A good ecological environment is the fairest public product and the most inclusive people’s livelihood.

  In the first half of this year, China’s environmental air quality and surface water environmental quality continued to improve overall, and the land of China spread a beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

  Sun Jinlong, Party Secretary of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that deepening the reform of the ecological civilization system is the fundamental driving force for promoting the harmonious coexistence and modernization of man and nature, and it is also an inevitable requirement for supporting high-quality development with high-level protection. Focusing on solving the outstanding contradictions and problems in the field of ecological civilization is conducive to promoting the construction of an institutional mechanism suitable for the construction of beautiful China, and accelerating the formation of a new pattern of the construction of beautiful China oriented to the realization of harmonious coexistence and modernization between man and nature.

  … … … …

  People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak will live up to people. Striding for a new journey, adhering to the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought as the guide, adhering to the system construction as the main line, further deepening the reform of ecological civilization system, and jointly promoting carbon reduction, pollution reduction, greening and growth will surely inject strong impetus into comprehensively promoting the construction of beautiful China and accelerating the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Fight against epidemic and protest

Freud’s wailing that "I can’t breathe" is intertwined with the historical echo of Martin Luther King’s "I have a dream", which makes American minorities feel deeply hurt. However, the problems in the United States are not as simple as racial discrimination and police brutality. The pandemic should have been an opportunity to put aside differences and show unity, but it further deepened political polarization.

"To be or not to be" is not only the ultimate question in literary classics, but also a realistic choice faced by many Americans. It is too difficult to fight the epidemic and survive, so we have to protest against the decompression. George Freud, an African-American man, was killed by police violence, just like a spark, which ignited the "dry wood" of anger in the United States. The protests have not subsided, and it is far from a day’s work to eliminate social problems such as systematic racial discrimination.

It is no accident that Freud’s incident triggered the great protest in the United States. Before his death, his plaintive cry of "I can’t breathe" was intertwined with the historical echo of Martin Luther King’s "I have a dream", which made American minorities feel deeply hurt. However, protests have quickly turned into beating, smashing, looting and burning in many cities, which reminds the world that the problems in the United States are not as simple as racial discrimination and police brutality.

People have become accustomed to some strange phenomena in the United States.

The epidemic is prevalent, but I dare not go to see a doctor. Only one test in Covid-19 costs thousands of dollars, and intensive care costs as high as tens of thousands of dollars. Many Americans without medical insurance usually delay seeing a doctor after they get sick, "not because they don’t want to recover, but because they have no money at all".

The great recession caused a sharp increase in unemployment. From March 15 to May 23, in just over two months, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time in the United States totaled 40.8 million, and wage earners first experienced the pain of economic recession caused by the epidemic.

Forbes News reported on May 7 that the survey showed that by the end of April, more than one-fifth of American families were facing a food crisis; Among American families with children under the age of 12, the proportion facing food crisis is as high as two fifths.

During the demonstration, thousands of protesters crowded the streets. The American riot police and even the National Guard went into battle with all their weapons. Tear gas, flash bombs, pepper spray and rubber bullets were flying all over the sky … Social opposition became increasingly serious. Even many white policemen joined the demonstration, but there were still no specific ways to reform police law enforcement. Some states just announced in a hurry that police were prohibited from using "lock throat".

Moreover, under the background of the election year in the United States, controversial topics such as whether to remove Confederate memorials and signs that maintained slavery during the Civil War have heated up again, which has become "ammunition" for some American politicians to start election campaigns, highlighting the polarization between parties and public opinion. Some politicians said that the names of military facilities such as US military bases named after Confederate generals who maintained slavery during the Civil War should not be changed, because "these memorable and influential bases have become part of the great American tradition". Some politicians immediately countered and called for the removal of all the statues of Confederate figures in the Capitol, calling them "a tribute to hatred, not to tradition."

The parade also swam, and the demonstration also showed how much it seems that "American democracy" pays attention to the people’s right to express. In fact, after the excitement, what it used to be is still what it is now. Some American politicians are selfish, short-sighted, willful, inefficient and irresponsible, and are still brewing more tragedies. Francis Fukuyama, a famous American political scholar, wrote that the pandemic should have been an opportunity to put aside differences and show unity, but it further deepened political polarization. Politicians regard the epidemic as an opportunity to seize power and party interests, at the expense of countless ordinary American lives. Although some of the scholar’s predictions are unreliable, this comment is still to the point.

Property insurance industry deepens the market and helps development.

    Recently, the "transcripts" of listed insurance companies in 2023 have been released one after another. Among them, the overall performance of the property insurance industry is bright, and the profitability of the company remains stable, showing strong development resilience as a whole. The annual report shows that in 2023, the auto insurance business of listed insurance companies grew steadily, and the non-auto insurance business continued its high growth trend, which became an important driving force for the growth of property insurance premiums. At the same time, many insurance companies also showed optimistic expectations for premium growth in 2024 at the performance conference. According to the data of the State Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau, in 2023, the original premium income of property insurance companies was 1.59 trillion yuan, and the compensation expenditure was 1.07 trillion yuan. Among them, the premium income of auto insurance, liability insurance, agricultural insurance, health insurance and accident insurance was 867.3 billion yuan, 126.8 billion yuan, 143 billion yuan, 175.2 billion yuan and 50.9 billion yuan respectively.

    The auto insurance market is mixed.

    Auto insurance has always been the basic disk of the property insurance industry. Since 2023, under the influence of many factors, such as travel recovery, frequent disasters and rising cost competition, it is challenging for property insurance companies to realize underwriting profit. According to the annual report, PICC P&C Insurance, Ping ‘an Property Insurance and Taibao Property Insurance, the "old three companies" in the property insurance industry, realized the original premium income of about 1 trillion in 2023, accounting for about 63% of the market share, and the Matthew effect formed by the scale advantages of the three companies continued to intensify.

    Among them, the auto insurance premiums of these three companies totaled 602.99 billion yuan, up 5.7% year-on-year, and contributed 15.765 billion yuan of underwriting profit with nearly 70% market share, exceeding the profit level of the entire auto insurance industry. Specifically, PICC P&C has the largest auto insurance business, with a premium income of 285.626 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.3%; Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance and CPIC Property & Casualty Insurance earned 213.85 billion yuan and 103.514 billion yuan respectively, up 6.2% and 5.6% respectively.

    Despite the steady growth of auto insurance premiums, the "third family" of the property insurance industry has to face the reality that underwriting profits have fallen sharply. The data shows that PICC P&C Insurance, Ping An Property Insurance and CPIC Property Insurance realized underwriting profits of 8.623 billion yuan, 4.732 billion yuan and 2.41 billion yuan respectively, down by 41.1%, 41.09% and 15.02% respectively.

    In this regard, industry insiders analyzed that on the one hand, the demand for public travel increased after the epidemic, and the frequency of using cars increased sharply. In addition, in 2023, some areas were affected by natural disasters such as heavy rain and typhoons, and the number of auto insurance reports increased, and the pressure on insurance companies to pay compensation continued to increase. On the other hand, in 2023, insurance companies gained greater autonomy in pricing, and some insurance companies may adopt more radical pricing strategies, resulting in insufficient premium income to cover the increased compensation costs.

    There is another phenomenon worthy of attention in the 2023 annual report, that is, the proportion of new energy auto insurance has risen rapidly. In recent years, with the popularization of new energy vehicles, consumers’ demand for new energy auto insurance is also rising. At the annual performance conference, Yu Ze, vice president of PICC China, said that the growth of PICC P&C insurance business in 2023 mainly comes from the growth rate of new energy auto insurance. According to the annual report of the group, the number of new energy vehicles underwritten by PICC China in 2023 increased by 57.7% year-on-year. Taibao Property & Casualty also showed in the annual report that in 2023, the company explored a new business model of new energy vehicles, integrated the overall layout into the automobile industry ecology, and established a flat cooperation mechanism with car companies. In 2023, new energy auto insurance increased by 54.7% year-on-year.

    However, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the comprehensive cost ratio of new energy auto insurance is higher, which directly affects the underwriting strategy and profit of auto insurance; The "three highs" of high premium, high risk rate and high payout ratio have been puzzling insurance companies and policyholders. Experts in the industry believe that new energy auto insurance has not yet achieved profitability from the industry level, but large insurance companies have excellent comprehensive cost ratio due to their advantages in resources and talents, and the future of new energy auto insurance is worth looking forward to. Yu Ze revealed that the comprehensive cost ratio of new energy vehicle commercial insurance of PICC P&C Insurance is about 7 percentage points higher than that of auto insurance as a whole. Gu Yue, chairman of CPIC Property & Casualty, said that CPIC Property & Casualty conducted a project research on the new energy auto insurance market three years ago. In 2023, the growth rate of the company’s new energy auto insurance exceeded 50%, accounting for 1 to 2 percentage points higher than that of the industry. Although the new energy auto insurance is still losing money at present, the comprehensive cost rate will show a downward trend in 2023. "We are full of expectations for the future development of new energy auto insurance. The company will give full play to the role of the head enterprise and take the lead in trying first, and actively promote the high-quality development of China’s auto industry." Gu Yue said.

Do you understand these metaphors behind the touching of A Beautiful Life?

1905 movie network news As a classic in film history, it was released nationwide on January 3rd. After a lapse of 22 years, it was restored to the big screen by 4K, and many fans went to the cinema to relive Beautiful Life with the excitement of "lifetime".

"The most beautiful lies and smiles", the great father’s love in the film makes countless people cry; "Good morning, Princess", the encounter and love between Guido and Dora, the hero and heroine, is as beautiful as a fairy tale; "Twilight in the dark" and "Smile even if you are in a miserable world", A Beautiful Life has infected everyone who watches movies with such a strong optimism, telling everyone that "life is always beautiful anyway".

The warmest World War II movie commemorates the 75th anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war.

When it comes to movies about World War II, Life is Beautiful is undoubtedly the most special one. Guido, the leading actor, appeared as a joke, which even made people unable to believe that this was a movie about World War II. It is not bloody, cruel or violent. Those Nazi tortures were not shown by cameras, but were taken by his father Guido with a few jokes.

In order to protect his son’s childlike innocence, the father made up a 1000-point game in a concentration camp like purgatory. "Don’t cry, don’t look for mom, don’t clamor for snacks" are three rules of the game formulated by my father, and they are also the survival rules that my son Joshua needs to abide by in the concentration camp. This game is a gentle lie about the birth of the tragic world, and it is also commented by the audience that "if lies can be so beautiful, I would rather live in them".

From 1941 to 1945, it was a Jewish purgatory on earth. Nazi Germany committed genocide against nearly 6 million Jews, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of Jews in Europe at that time, including nearly 1.5 million children. As a Jewish director, roberto benigni presents such a cruel history in the film A Beautiful Life in a calm and even humorous way.

The white steed that Guido rode when he broke into the engagement party of "Princess" Dora was painted dazzling green by the Nazis. Little Joshua saw the sign "Jews and dogs are not allowed" hanging in front of the store, so Guido comforted him and said, "Tomorrow our bookstore will also hang the sign" No spiders and visigoths "… … The core of comedy is tragedy, and Guido uses a casual joke to make the audience remember the cruelty of war more. The year 2020 is also the 75th anniversary of the victory of the world anti-fascist war. The re-release of A Beautiful Life also makes us cherish the peaceful times in front of us.

The saddest comedy movie, life is always beautiful anyway.

The combination of war and comedy, two seemingly contradictory themes, has made this "great comedy" remembered by film history. Director Benigni used his special way to hide the cruelty of war in various details of the film, and shocked the audience in front of the screen in a casual way.

Guido, the hero, appeared because the car was out of control and wanted everyone to dodge, but he was mistaken for greeting everyone with Nazi gestures. No sooner had he arrived at his uncle’s house than he saw his uncle being pushed to the ground by radical Nazis. All the plots at the beginning of the film suggest that they are in the era of Nazi upsurge.

In the film, there is a German doctor who loves guessing puzzles, and he and Guido also became attached to each other because of puzzles. "The more things you have, the less you can see them — — Darkness "; "If anything mentions me, I will disappear — — Silence. " These two puzzles may be the best portrayal of the war. When Guido saw the doctor in the concentration camp, he pinned all his hopes of escaping from the misery on him, but the result was that the doctor was just crazy because of the mystery, and only lost was given to Guido.

When the son saw the sign "Jews and dogs are not allowed" in the street, the conversation with his father was also a classic paragraph of the film. Father Guido told Joshua, "Everyone has something he hates. You hate spiders, and I hate Visigoths. Our bookstore will hang the sign "No spiders and visigoths allowed" tomorrow. Such a painful history was thus resolved by roberto benigni in a humorous way. At the same time, it also indicates that the war has quietly arrived.

At the end of the film, when his son Joshua came out of the iron box and saw the tank, he excitedly shouted "We won!" . Yes, my father didn’t lie to him. They won the prize of this 1000-point game — — A real tank. Although the game is fake, the victory is real. The victory of the father and son also symbolizes the victory of the anti-fascist war and the victory of the people all over the world.
