The "national system" of sports in China was learned from the former Soviet Union. In the former Soviet Union, talented athletes were selected and trained by the government. The biggest advantage of doing this is that you can concentrate on making excellent coaches have a unified concept and training plan. Under this system, athletes have strict discipline, hard training and strong desire to win, which is the key to winning in the Olympic Games.
National system
Corresponding to the national system is the market system, that is, raising funds and other expenses for selecting and training athletes through market behavior. However, only a few professional and highly commercialized sports can be solved through the market. Most other sports events are not watched at all because of commercial competitions, and the funding problem cannot be solved by the market system. Finally, it depends on the support of the government.
It is said that there are also Olympic training centers in the United States, and the expenses of the US Olympic Committee are donated by non-governmental organizations or individuals according to the provisions of the tax law. According to the American tax law, American enterprises and individuals can donate money to sponsor the Olympic cause, which is actually the government transferring the tax due to the Olympic training center and other sports institutions. So don't think that the US government doesn't invest in American sports. Different from China government, its investment channels are different.
Gold medals cost money, a lot of money. If you want to make achievements in sports events without mass base, you can't do it without money, no matter what system you have.
Therefore, the national system exists not only in China, but also in all countries in the world that pay enough attention to international sports competitions. Although different countries have different practices and opinions, there is no difference in the nature of government investment.
In the 26 years of reform and opening up, China's national sports mechanism is almost the same as that of 50 years ago. It is still a system of amateur sports schools, professional sports schools, local sports teams, provincial teams and national teams. Almost all Olympic champions, of course, including the champions of other large-scale events, come from this. Almost all of them rely on state input, far from transparency, which makes this model seem to have irreconcilable contradictions with the framework of market economy.
When modern sports were introduced to China from the west, people of insight who were determined to serve the country were deeply distressed by the physical weakness of China people. They hope to use sports to strengthen the physique of China people and improve the quality of soldiers in China. Therefore, even before the founding of New China, modern sports, especially competitive sports, were always related to military training and subordinate to the military system.
After the founding of New China, the country established a large number of grass-roots sports schools and sports teams at all levels, which remained in the military system for a long time. Obedience to orders and a closed life are traces of that period. Units at all levels, together with the ways of transporting and selecting athletes at all levels, basically constitute the national sports system in China. All this was a natural thing at that time, because on the one hand, in the era of planned economy, almost all aspects of national life implemented the "national system"; On the other hand, competitive competition had significance and responsibility beyond sports connotation at that time.
During the Cold War between East and West, sports competitions, especially the Olympic Games, were the stage for the "hot war" between the two camps. Face-to-face competitions and gold medal lists have surpassed sports itself, and every victory is hailed as a symbol of national prosperity or institutional victory. The extreme of this confrontation is the mutual boycott between the two sides at the 1980 Moscow and 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. In this case,
I'm afraid it's hard for young people nowadays to imagine what the victory of China athletes in international sports competitions at that time meant. The humiliating memory of nearly a hundred years and the self-esteem gradually restored after the founding of the People's Republic of China make sports competitions one of the few ways to enhance their self-confidence. If we only rely on the natural growth of sports strength, it is unbearable for China people to wait for a long time before achieving results. The Soviet Union's national system known as the "gold medal assembly line" has greatly inspired China. Facts have proved that the national system does have obvious advantages in achieving good competitive sports results in a short time. 1984 China participated in the Olympic Games for the first time and won 16 gold medals. India, with a population similar to that of China, has won only a dozen gold medals so far. No wonder the deputy head of the Russian delegation at Athens Olympic Games pointed out that the other way should not be the former Soviet Union when reflecting on the reasons for the decline of sports in his country.
It must be admitted that not only is the national system passed down from history, but even today, the Olympic gold medal still stimulates the nerves of Chinese people. Nowadays, people will not celebrate the whole country as they did when the women's volleyball team won five consecutive championships 20 years ago, but there are still many people who stay up late to watch the Olympic women's volleyball team win the championship. Gold medals in track and field and tennis often become a hot topic for several days; Sina's comments on the Olympic theme reached a record 700 thousand, which reflected people's concern for the Olympic Games.
Some experts pointed out that although it is not like 20 years ago, China people's enthusiasm for the Olympic Games is still higher than that of western countries, which is China's national condition. The ordinary people in our country are still not rich, the consumption power of physical exercise is limited, and the domestic sports market is immature, which is also our national conditions. When people's expectations of Olympic achievements are higher than what the market can provide, the national system has become the best choice at this stage. An extreme example is that a few sports events in China that do not follow the national system, such as football, have not only failed to satisfy people for a long time, but also many problems exposed internally have become typical failures of marketization.
The gold medal is in the sun, and the efficiency is also in the sun.
China's national sports system has historical and environmental factors, but it can't avoid its disharmony with the domestic market economy environment. It is not advisable to simply abandon it like Russia, but it will not last long without improvement.
Compared with the "all-in-one" athlete training system in China countries, developed countries generally entrust this task to the society. The US Olympic Committee spends about $400 million a year, mainly from donations from individuals and groups. The Olympic Committee mainly supports the national team and a few top athletes, and basically ignores grassroots competitive organizations, as do Britain, Germany and Japan. These countries have not given up their investment in grass-roots competitive organizations. Only the market-oriented reward system is adopted. For example, in the United States, billions of dollars of scholarships are given to university sports specialty students and coaches every year, and national award funds help popularize some projects. The rapid improvement of the gymnastics performance of the American delegation in Athens Olympic Games is not unrelated to the vigorous promotion of gymnastics by the American government. For some sports with a high degree of marketization, such as football and basketball, the government does not interfere with their legal operation at all. Compared with the sports system in developed countries, the biggest defect of China's national system is the lack of transparency and efficiency, without which the latter cannot be judged. These two points are also the focus of criticizing the national system. Because developed countries adopt a market-oriented approach, the transparency of their operation is guaranteed to some extent. It also provides a basis for whether it is worth participating in competitive sports. Michael Phelps, an American swimming prodigy with a million dollars, and Kosuke Kitajima, a Japanese swimmer with an advertisement of 30-50 million yen, are entirely responsible for their growth by their families and schools, and the cost of training them is well documented.
On the other hand, in this gold medal cost dispute, the simple question of how much it costs to train gold medal players is not worthy of a simple answer, because the operation of the State Sports General Administration is opaque. What is the annual sports expenditure and the expenditure for preparing for the Olympic Games? How many people don't have proper channels to know this information? Under such circumstances, how to judge whether the money has been spent? Due to the lack of public data, "a gold medal of 700 million yuan" based on speculation will naturally become popular, even if the analysis finds flaws in this conclusion. However, once again, the conclusion that a gold medal is tens of millions of yuan based on speculation can neither be confirmed by the relevant departments, nor can it be judged whether the cost is reasonable. Whether the huge investment should be given to the Olympic Games, education or scientific research is an academic issue of cannon or butter. The key is which side is more efficient. Recalling the fact that the State Sports General Administration was also caught in an "audit storm" in the first half of this year, people have every reason to doubt the efficiency of this huge investment in the application of the national system. For an inefficient project, the higher the cost, the greater the loss. Athens Olympic Games is the Olympic Games with the most doping scandals in the past century, but the excellent and pure performance of China Legion has won the respect of the world. Foreign sources say that the people of China have realized their dreams in the sunshine.
Research on the Perfection and Innovation of "National System" of Competitive Sports in China in the Post-Olympic Period
In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, relying on the role of the "national system" and the fighting spirit of Olympic athletes, with the help of the advantages of the host country, it topped the gold medal list with 5 1, breaking the long-term monopoly of the United States and the former Soviet Union and winning the first gold medal in sailing, rowing, archery, trampoline and other events, beach women's volleyball, hockey, fencing and swimming (including synchronized swimming). After the glory, in view of the historical contribution and accumulated disadvantages of the "national system", this topic makes a comprehensive analysis, demonstrates the development trend of China's competitive sports in the post-Olympic period, puts forward the ideas and principles of perfecting the "national system" in the post-Olympic period, and perfects and innovates the "national system" strategy in order to provide decision-making reference for decision-making organs and relevant departments.
The Success and Reflection of "National System"
1. 1 The positive role of the national system is the product of the planned economy period. Its greatest feature is that the government manages sports affairs by administrative means, allocates sports resources by planning means, and forms national integration in management, training and competition, forming a management system centered on sports committees at all levels, a training system centered on professional sports teams and a domestic competition system centered on the National Games. With the implementation of this system, China's competitive sports can rise rapidly under the condition that the national strength is not strong, realize the rapid development of competitive sports in a very short time, establish the leading position in Asia and even the world, and become a recognized sports power in the world. Its positive role is reflected in the following aspects:
1. This system ensures that we can make full use of a country's overall strength, gather the most effective manpower, financial resources and material resources, and maximize the development of competitive sports in China.
2. This system has found the simplest, quickest and most effective way for the rapid rise of competitive sports in a developing country with a weak sports foundation and a large population.
3. Satisfied the good external conditions for China's political, economic and diplomatic development, realized the internal political function of modern competitive sports, and made great contributions to expanding China's international influence.
4. It has promoted the development of competitive sports in China and made it reach a higher level. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, it won the first place in the total number of medals and the second place in the number of gold medals, which wrote a new chapter in the history of the Olympic Games.
1.2 disadvantages of the national system
With the deepening of the reform of the socialist market economy, the social environment in which the "national system" exists has undergone tremendous changes. The original management mode and operation mechanism of the "national system" are increasingly difficult to adapt to the current social and economic development in China and the reform needs nurtured by competitive sports itself, and the problems and defects existing in the operation are increasingly exposed, mainly in the following aspects:
1. The government arranges sports. The government allocates sports resources through planning means and manages sports undertakings through administrative means. The government is both the main body of running sports and the main body of managing sports. This sports system of "no distinction between management and operation" runs counter to the requirements of high socialization and industrialization of sports under the market economy.
2. The operation of public institutions is highly dependent on government administrative means. Under the "national system", sports undertakings mainly rely on policies, documents and instructions issued by administrative departments at all levels to maintain their operation, which is obviously inconsistent with the "small government and big society" required by the market economy.
3. The source of funds is highly dependent on planning means and government financial input. The central government and governments at all levels provide administrative funds and wages and benefits for sports development for sports departments at all levels, training and competition funds for professional sports teams at national, provincial and municipal levels, wages and benefits for athletes, and construction funds for sports training and competition venues. This has caused the sports industry to rely heavily on the state and the government in terms of funds, inhibited the enthusiasm of the society to run sports, and made the development of the whole sports system lack of self-hematopoietic function, and the contradiction between development requirements and insufficient funds has become increasingly prominent.
4. It is difficult for sports talents to flow reasonably. Coaches and athletes are managed according to administrative divisions and can only be transferred up and down, but it is difficult to transfer horizontally. This not only caused a lot of waste of human resources, but also caused a lot of disputes about the ownership and identity of athletes in the National Games and other competitions, which not only affected the enthusiasm of athletes and coaches, but also ran counter to the principle of free flow of talents required by the market economy.
5. The National Games with administrative divisions as the unit is incompatible with the "Olympic Strategy". The advantage of the national games competition system is that it can mobilize the enthusiasm of "local" sports and is one of the indispensable pillars of the "national system". However, due to different stakeholders, there is also a dislocation between the "National Games Strategy" and the national "Olympic Strategy".
6. It is difficult to solve the problem of retired and reemployment of athletes. Under the "national system", all athletes selected for professional sports teams in provinces and cities will be counted from the date of joining the team, become official state employees and enjoy the same treatment as state employees. Because of the particularity of athletes' occupation, this national guarantee system has great difficulties in actual operation. In fact, the development of competitive sports is obtained by a large number of athletes sacrificing the right to receive ordinary national education.
The Necessity of "National System" in the Post-Olympic Period
First, although China's national economy has achieved rapid development, due to China's large population, the total economic output still belongs to the ranks of developing countries compared with the huge population, and there is still a big gap between people's living standards and those of western developed countries. In this case, if competitive sports are fully put into the market and lose the financial support of the state, many sports will shrink or even disappear. Secondly, the youth training system organized by the national sports management department and the high-level centralized professional training model in China are powerful weapons to ensure the sustainable development of competitive sports and quickly improve the level of sports.
In addition, after years of operation, China has established various national and provincial training bases, sports schools and amateur sports schools, with a large number of experienced sports managers and coaches. This is a group of our precious wealth, and it is the basic force for us to develop competitive sports in the new period. We should cherish and cherish it.
Adhering to the "national system" and maintaining the strength of competitive sports in China is also of great significance to the social life of China, which is establishing and gradually improving the market economic system. In order to maintain the leading edge in international competitions of competitive sports, we can only adopt the "national system" which has been tested and proved by the practice of developing competitive sports in China for a long time to come.
Inevitability of "National System" Innovation in Post-Olympic Period
The "national system" came into being in the era of planned economy. Its operating mechanism is highly dependent on the government's administrative functions, mainly relying on government funding to maintain its functions. With the transition of China's economic system from planned economy to market economy, it shows the nature and result of the "national system" in which competitive sports resources are highly monopolized, and it is gradually becoming the shackles of the development of competitive sports in the direction of internationalization, professionalism and commercialization. In today's increasingly powerful national strength, Chinese people's understanding of Olympic gold medals began to become rational. In the past 30 years since China's reform and opening up, all the changes have been based on "people-oriented", and the biggest drawback of the "national system" is that a few elite athletes have been built at the top of competitive sports with a large amount of human resources costs. During the planned economy period, the state made great efforts in macro-control, and put athletes who entered the national team-local team-sports schools at all levels in the framework of resettlement. With the transformation of the market and the enhancement of the mobility of the human resources market, the state's efforts to resettle retired athletes have been greatly reduced. In recent years, the employment and life difficulties of athletes after retirement have been reported in newspapers from time to time. For example, Zou Chunlan, a weightlifting champion, worked as a bath worker, and Ai Dongmei, a marathon champion, set up a stall, which was widely known after many media reports. On the other hand, Xinhua News Agency. With the theme of "Tragedy under the Pyramid-Investigation on the Living Conditions of Retired Athletes", com has revealed the living conditions of more retired athletes. At the Fifth Session of the Tenth Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Conference held in 2007, Committee member Ye Qiaobo submitted the proposal of "Survival and Development of Retired Athletes", which pointed out that in non-Olympic years, 1 10,000 athletes retired every year, while in Olympic years, the scale of retired athletes was even larger, and the state could only place about 1000 athletes at a time, and the remaining 90% could not be placed immediately. Those who stayed in the team or failed to resettle were even delayed to 10 year.
For the sustainable development of competitive sports in China, we can still maintain the strong momentum of the Beijing Olympic Games in the post-Olympic period. According to the level of social and economic development and the stage characteristics of sports development, we should gradually adjust the way the government plays a leading role, gradually liberalize the position and role of social forces and market forces in sports development, and use planning and market means to mobilize social resources from macro and micro levels to form a management system with reasonable structure, orderly management and priority in efficiency.
Thoughts and principles of perfecting and innovating the "national system"
Thoughts and principles of perfecting and innovating the "national system" in the post-Olympic period
Olympic Games has become a high-end sports culture in the world. In the post-Olympic period, we should seize the opportunity that the people's sports enthusiasm in China is still high, take the idea renewal as the guide, and take the adjustment and improvement of the operation mechanism as the core, and accelerate the establishment of an organization and management system, a sports training and competition system and a socialized guarantee system for competitive sports practitioners that are compatible with the socialist market economic system and conform to the development law of competitive sports in China. So as to further enhance the international competitiveness of China's competitive sports and realize the healthy, rapid and sustainable development of China's sports on a higher platform. In the process of perfection and innovation, we should grasp the following four principles:
4. 1 Balance the degree between maintaining competitive sports achievements and reforming the basic system.
Take the "Olympic Glory Plan" as an example. Some team events already have absolute advantages, such as table tennis, badminton and gymnastics. Moreover, the echelon is perfect and can be implemented according to the system of professional leagues, so that domestic outstanding athletes can maintain their strength in the competition and continue to win glory for their country. On the other hand, it will promote the market development of the whole project. Some unpopular or weak events, such as track and field, can make social forces or individual-family forces actively develop and tap their potential. Some advantageous events that are strongly attached to the "national system"-some of which are very early in the selection period, such as diving and gymnastics-must rely on the national bottom-up selection system to arrange the training and life of young athletes from an early age. In this case, different modes can be mixed and matched to ensure competitive performance and reform direction. Before young athletes enter school, they can entrust the original sports team to train them. While young athletes are waiting, through this complementary mode of subdividing events into stages, the "national system" is more open, ensuring the stability of competitive performance.
4.2 Balance the relationship between national needs and individual needs.
The "national system" is more based on national interests, and the ultimate goal of a country's sports development is to realize each individual's sports ideal, specifically, to balance the health of the broad masses of people and the realization of some sports genius values. On the one hand, in competitive sports, the "national system" model needs to be adjusted, and it needs to make room for other development models; On the other hand, in the sports pattern of the whole country, it is necessary to balance the relationship between competitive sports and mass sports, appropriately increase the proportion of mass sports, tilt the resource allocation in the original "national system" to mass sports, and gradually adjust the development focus.
4.3 Balance the independent space and mutual penetration among national macro-control, market economy forces and social self-organization forces.
It is necessary to standardize the administrative behavior and regulatory power of national sports macro-control institutions in the form of law, clarify the rights and obligations of sports organizations at all levels, and give full play to the advantages of sports organizations at all levels to develop their competitive strength on the premise of clarifying their respective responsibilities.
4.4 Balance the relationship between advantageous events and weak events, Olympic events and non-Olympic events.
The division of sports events will inevitably lead to uneven development among events, which will lead to the better the excellent and the weaker the weak. In the post-Olympic period, on the one hand, we should get rid of the rigid differentiation between the original superior and inferior projects, on the other hand, we should try to use the role of the market to guide the development of the projects.
Strategies for Perfecting and Innovating the "National System" in the Post-Olympic Period
5. 1 Transform government behavior and reconstruct the pattern of power and interests.
In the post-Olympic period, the State Sports General Administration and sports administrative departments at all levels should really hand over the specific management of sports affairs to relevant institutions, social organizations and intermediary organizations, separate the functions of the State Sports General Administration from those of the All-China Sports Federation, the Chinese Olympic Committee and individual sports associations, and shift their focus to providing sports policies and making reasonable institutional arrangements. The transformation of government behavior in the post-Olympic period is the adaptation of government behavior to marketization, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the government gradually separates from macro managers and micro implementers, and mainly acts as the macro manager of the government, so as to better coordinate its functions and seek the most effective combination point. Second, from direct participation in competitive sports activities to macro-control. So that micro implementers can strive to achieve the development goals of competitive sports, and at the same time, the macro managers of the government can effectively exercise the functions of managers. Third, from direct administrative control to indirect control of competitive sports.
5.2 Change the compartmentalization of competitive sports organization system and realize the optimal allocation of sports resources.
The competitive sports system implemented in China for many years presents an obvious compartmentalized state, and each province, city and district has its own system. Its biggest drawback is that it cuts off the internal connection of society as a complete functional structure. On the surface, China's sports training team is rich in resources, but in fact it is not. Due to the closed sports training system in China, the flow of resources between the system and society is blocked, and there is a phenomenon of waste and shortage of resources. On the one hand, a large number of venues and facilities are idle after the training competition, resulting in a waste of resources; On the other hand, because it is out of touch with society, it is impossible to use social education resources, scientific and technological resources and human resources, and resources are in short supply. Therefore, in the post-Olympic period, in order to improve and innovate the "national system" of competitive sports in China, we must change the compartmentalization of this competitive sports organization system, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the state and local governments, rationally divide the responsibilities and powers of the state and local governments on the premise of safeguarding the state authority and respecting the interests of local governments, so that the decentralization of local governments and the centralization of the central government can achieve dynamic unity and balance, and all sports affairs involving the interests of their administrative regions are decided by local governments. The State Sports General Administration mainly strengthens three functions: first, the strategic guiding function of sports development; The second is to balance the coordination function; The third is the protection function.
5.3 Improve the existing training system, and create a competitive training model with multiple complementarities.
At present, China's training system is still a three-level training network model, the main body of which is the permanent national training team, provincial professional sports teams and county-level amateur sports schools. This single professional competition training mode, due to the high elimination rate, low level of culture and education, athletes' way out and other chronic diseases, it is difficult to see the situation that parents are scrambling to send their children to sports schools during the planned economy period; The professional team system, which has been used for many years, is based on the highly centralized management of the government, driven by the spiritual encouragement of pursuing national interests, and operated by the direct regulation and supervision of administrative means. It is difficult to revitalize the memory resources within the system and enter the incremental resources outside the system. The management of coaches and athletes is unified according to administrative divisions, and the personnel right belongs to the sports administrative department, which sets obstacles for the horizontal flow of talents, leading to the lack of rational flow of talents and serious waste of resources. In the post-Olympic period, China's current training system should be hierarchical; According to the nature; According to the division of training team management system, establish a diversified competitive training system that adapts to the socialist market economic system, conforms to the laws of modern sports, is regulated by the state, relies on society, develops itself, is full of vitality and vitality, and has a virtuous circle, thus forming a competitive training sports model with multiple complementary professional competitions, professional competitions and amateur competitions. These include: first, rationally arrange China's advantageous projects, improve and strengthen the original two-level professional competition system of national training teams and provincial professional teams; For those key projects that are difficult to achieve socialization and marketization, but win glory for the Olympic Games, we should rely on the government's financial strength to continue to support them, continue to implement the professional team system through the government's policy orientation and the leverage of capital investment, and establish a number of national-level training bases in major cities across the country in accordance with the principles of state investment, industry management, project bidding and strict audit to ensure the development of some key projects. Advocate professional sports completely independent of society and market, so as to promote the development of highly socialized and market-oriented professional alliances. Second, vigorously develop market-oriented professional sports and related sports industries, continue to improve the professional league roads of football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, Go and other sports, integrate with international sports, and strive to realize the professionalization and marketization of sports with mass base or influence in China. Third, we should promote amateur competitions among young people centered on universities and middle schools, form a competition alliance system similar to that of NCAA in the United States, and replace the existing single "one-stop" linear training system with a multi-supporting network structure.
5.4 Take the reform of the National Games as a breakthrough to further rationalize and improve the existing competition system.
First of all, make clear the objectives of the National Games, guide and integrate the objectives of developing sports in all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions into the strategy of winning glory for the Olympic Games, link the National Games with the Olympic Games, and mobilize the enthusiasm of all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions to the maximum extent, so as to promote the corresponding reform of other competition systems. Secondly, in the operational mechanism, it is necessary to adjust the setting of sports events, and strive to "slim down" the competition scale and events, which are close to the Olympic Games and reflect the characteristics of the Chinese nation, so that all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions can find the correct positioning of events, concentrate the most limited strength and develop their own distinctive and advantageous events. Third, from the perspective of short-term pattern and interests, reform the system of double scoring, agreement scoring and athlete exchange, overcome short-term behavior and temporary employment, and standardize exchange behavior; In the long run, it is necessary to reform the practice of taking administrative divisions as units and diversify the participants. Fourth, realize the materialization of individual sports associations, highlight the status of national individual sports competitions, and change the current system design of the National Games above other domestic events; Do a good job in the coordination and management of the subordinate competition system or parallel competition system of the National Games; Control the density of large-scale national competitions and allocate resources effectively and rationally.
5.5 Broaden the development channels of competitive sports and improve the combination of sports and education.
The combination of sports and education can provide fertile soil for the development of competitive sports, and the combination of sports and education is the only way to cultivate reserve talents of competitive sports. Although the development from college athletes to professional athletes is rare among many college athletes in China, these ethnic minorities have grown into the backbone of professional leagues with good competitive consciousness. A single spark can start a prairie fire. It is believed that as the pioneers go further and further on the career path, more and more college athletes have the ability and willingness to develop into professional athletes.
5.6 Establish a socialized security system based on the rights and interests of competitive sports practitioners.
The fundamental way to solve this problem is to establish a socialized security system that is compatible with the social security system. First, through legal channels, the resettlement welfare of competitive sports practitioners is established in the form of legislation. Second, vigorously develop community sports, broaden employment opportunities, and let retired competitive sports practitioners give full play to their strengths, find the right position and serve the society. The third is to encourage social forces to run sports, such as folk sports associations and sports clubs. In addition to professional coaches trained in colleges and universities, retired competitive sports practitioners will be the backbone of this force.

Character review
Just as we emphasize that saving people first is not just an action slogan, but a political determination, the national system is not only a working mechanism, but also a political force. Earthquake relief has tested our national system, strengthened our political strength and gained many new experiences and feelings. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China correctly stipulated that we should strengthen China's economic strength, and at the same time unify economy with politics, culture and society, thus drawing a blueprint for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At present, it is more important and urgent than ever to adhere to people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, overall consideration, and properly handle major relations such as urban and rural development, regional development, economic and social development, harmonious development between man and nature, domestic development and opening up, which also points out the way forward for us to implement the recommendations of the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Conference on accelerating the recovery and reconstruction of disaster areas. "Difficulties and hardships, Yucheng." We firmly believe that in the face of a rare earthquake, the key is that we sum up the past and plan the future on the basis of science, strive to stay awake and make achievements that can truly stand the test of practice, people and history.
