🔥 I am the people's servant
In November 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Shibadong Village in Xiangxi, introducing himself as "I am the people's servant." Sitting with villagers in the courtyard, listening and asking questions, he first proposed the concept of "targeted poverty alleviation." The sixteen-character policy is like a golden key, opening the door for impoverished areas to escape poverty and become prosperous. "I am the people's servant" is not just a warm self-introduction, but also a personal example set for all Party members and a solemn promise to the people of all ethnic groups across the country.

💻 Making agriculture "cool" is just the first step
From investing in seed industry innovation, to promoting intelligent equipment such as drones, to applying digital technologies like AI vision and the Internet of Things. Empowered by data and technology, agriculture has entered the fast lane of modernization. Technology making agriculture "cool" is only the first step; the more critical issue is how to keep young people staying and putting down roots. If returning youth can see development opportunities and a bright future, comprehensive rural revitalization will gain profound and lasting strength.

🌪️ Typhoon White Dolphin penetrates deep inland — Where are the winds and rains strongest?
Typhoon "White Dolphin" is characterized by ultra-long-distance travel, super-large circulation cloud systems, super-strong rain-making ability, and ultra-long land survival. After making landfall twice in Zhejiang, it will continue northward and combine deeply with cold air, creating widespread rainfall. Affected by it, areas near the typhoon's landfall center and to the north experienced the strongest rainfall. Zhejiang, Shanghai, southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu and other areas experienced heavy or torrential rain, with some parts of eastern Zhejiang and central Shanghai experiencing particularly torrential rain.
🔖 Weather/Disasters
🌍 Taiwan is not a country; there is no such thing as "national dignity"
On August 10, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Japan, when responding to a reporter's question about a statement from Taiwan's so-called "representative to Japan," stated that Taiwan is not a country and there is no such concept as "national dignity." Overestimating oneself and trying to draw attention everywhere will only bring humiliation upon oneself. There is only one China in the world; Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory; the People's Republic of China government is the sole legitimate government representing all of China. This is the basic consensus of the international community.
