Release time:Apr 16, 2024 21:31 PM

Editor's note: From "ice and snow" to "green mountains and clear waters", from ancient intangible cultural heritage to cutting-edge 5G technology, rural China is undergoing tremendous changes at an astonishing speed. The International Communication Program of "Show Me China" has launched a five episode series of "New Era China Rural Chronicles", focusing on rural revitalization in five aspects: industry, culture, talent, ecology, and organization. Each episode is about 15 minutes long, with a total length of 70 minutes. Following the footsteps of domestic and foreign hosts, it travels through four seasons, spanning the east, west, north, south, and middle schools, telling the beloved Chinese rural stories of global audiences. We hereby collect all five documentary short films and express our gratitude!

[Episode 1: Snow Village is Not a Fairy Tale]

More than 40 years ago, in the the Changbai Mountains in northeast China, a little known village was hidden deep between snow and ice and mountains, with a wonderful snow scenery rarely seen in the world. It is today's tourist check-in destination: Xuexiang.

From unknown remote areas to bustling tourist towns, from "the first homestay" to "sharing with the world", how can Xuexiang embark on a path of industrial revitalization that "thrives on snow"?

We step into this silver clad land, spanning nearly half a century, and tell a unique story of rural revitalization in the new era. This is not a fairy tale in the snow, but a true record of the snow village.

[Episode 2: Record of Qiang Embroidery Emerging from the Mountain]

The blooming vine shaped flowers are full of vitality. This special pattern originates from Wenchuan in southwestern China, which is a gathering place for the ancient Qiang ethnic minority. For thousands of years, they have lived in high mountains and are known as the "people on the clouds".

Qiang embroidery, listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, is famous for its thorny "flowers" and once faced a crisis of inheritance. Nowadays, Qiang embroidery, with its unique ethnic style and colors, has attracted the attention of international brands and become a fashionable element that goes global. A fragrant and blooming green tea flower allows the world to understand the language of the Qiang people. The small silver needle and colorful Qiang embroidery have changed the fate of the remaining Wenchuan people after the earthquake, and also made the world accept the ancient Qiang embroidery art.

We come to this hometown of Qiang embroidery and explore the legendary story of rural revitalization woven from Qiang embroidery art

[Episode 3: Run, Qingshantou]

As the venue for sailing and beach volleyball competitions at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, is located in the eastern part of the Xiangshan Peninsula, with the geographical feature of "surrounded by the sea on three sides and crossing the land on one line". Factors such as land use, inconvenient transportation, and limited resources were once challenges for the economic development of the county.

But in the past decade, the local area has developed characteristic villages with "sports+tourism" tailored to local conditions, and the rural landscape has undergone significant changes. What kind of story has happened here, from underdeveloped villages to affluent villages?

As the countdown to the Hangzhou Asian Games begins, we arrived in Xiangshan County, Ningbo City. Chinese and foreign hosts walked into the fields and chatted with the elderly and villagers here, learning about the ups and downs of rural cadre work, visiting the national sports modernization demonstration village - Qingshantou Village, and uncovering the organizational strength of rural revitalization.

[Episode 4: Ten Years of New Life in Millennial Terraced Fields]

The world-famous the Hani terraced fields of Honghe State is considered as a world agricultural wonder created by human hands. The local people of various ethnic groups, mainly the Hani ethnic group, have utilized the geographical and climatic conditions of "one mountain divided into four seasons, ten miles with different days" to create an agricultural civilization that has been passed down from over 1300 years ago to the present day.

However, the terraced fields cultivated by the ancestors of the Hani ethnic group over a thousand years ago have encountered difficulties in development in modern society. How can local people support themselves while protecting the terraced ecosystem?

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the successful application of the Hani terraced fields of Honghe State for World Heritage. How has the ecosystem of Hani terraced fields been protected in the past decade? What are the latest changes that have occurred? What kind of transformation has the implementation of the "Azeko Plan" brought to life here?

We came to Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province for on-site investigation, and in the context of rural revitalization, the survival wisdom of the Hani people was presented and answered one by one here.

【 Episode 5: 5G Chili King Returns Home 】

Whether it's fresh and tender Mapo tofu or mellow spicy chicken, the secret of complete color, flavor and taste in the map of Chinese food must be pepper! However, few people know that the traditional process of planting chili peppers is very difficult, requiring long-term kneeling and deformation of nails due to crop corrosion.

Linying County, Henan Province is located in the Yellow River Basin, with abundant soil and water, suitable for planting chili peppers. However, the inefficient traditional planting methods make it even more difficult to sustain the already sluggish agriculture.

However, a young person returning to his hometown has given Linying County new hope. He has established a large-scale 5G smart agriculture base, greatly improving efficiency and transforming Linying County from a poor and backward small county into the "number one digital chili pepper county in China". The new farmers who return to their hometowns to start businesses continuously inject vitality into the local agricultural development.

Chinese and foreign journalists from Xinhua News Agency visited Linying County to explore the story behind this "5G chili king"

What kind of grievance does the United States pretend to be?, Xiake Island | Termination: The defense ministers of China and the United States did not fulfill their request. US | China US | United States

The United States has been wronged again. Recently, the US Department of Defense has been complaining everywhere, saying that China has rejected the US request for a meeting between the US and China defense ministers. Subsequently, American media intervened and claimed that the US had made several weeks of efforts to ensure this meeting, Barbara... At first glance, it seems that China is not giving the US the opportunity and face, but since it is the US who is complaining, the matter needs to be pondered. At present, the 20th Shangri La Dialogue is being held in Singapore, with Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister Li Shangfu invited to attend. The proposed "China US Defense Ministers Meeting" by the US aims to have US Defense Ministers Austin and Lee Sang fu meet in Singapore.
