Original title: Disobey Zhou Yong Forward - "City of Heroes" Wuhan 2022 Opening Year Observation
Xinhua News Agency reporter Liao Jun Hou Wenkun Xiong Qi
Under the Yellow Crane Tower and on the banks of the Yangtze River, the "Shouyi Red" train opened at the end of last year, and the New Year passengers were endless.
Wuhan's first fully autonomous subway line, as if a metaphor, strings together the past and future of the city: starting from Wu Gang, the "elder" of the republic's steel industry, crossing the Yellow Crane Tower, a thousand-year-old famous building, passing through Wuchang Shouyi, which fired the first shot of the Xinhai Revolution, and driving to the Huangjiahu University Town full of hope.
From the comprehensive suspension of operation and suspension of work to the restart and start of construction, and then to the continuous construction and opening of new lines, the Wuhan Metro has covered all districts of the city in the past two years, showing the vigorous vitality of fighting the epidemic and rebirth. At the beginning of the new year, the city is also like a speeding train, rushing forward.
The "toughness" of a bowl of noodles
At 1:00 a.m. on a winter night, in the quiet streets and alleys, a few lights were sporadically lit, and in the Roche hot dried beef noodle restaurant on Hanyang Rose Street, there was a fire, boiling water, preparing noodles, mixing sauce... The first fireworks rise in this alley.
What awakens the city every day is not only the bells of the Yangtze River and Hanguan, but also the steaming "premature".
When the city was categorically "locked down" due to the surging new crown pneumonia epidemic, the bells of Jianghanguan were agitated, recording the history of the heroic city and the heroic people.
In order to stop the epidemic, it stagnated for a while, and the regional GDP fell sharply by 40.5% in the first quarter of that year. The life of Rothsie hot dried beef noodle restaurant owner Luo Siwei has also been pressed the pause button, 45 stores have not done business for 2 months, and the number of stores has dropped sharply by half after resuming work.
When the calendar is turned to 2022, Roth's noodle shop will welcome the first guest of the day at about 2:30 a.m., often a taxi driver, substitute driver, sanitation worker or construction worker. Coming out of the trough, his noodle shop has now expanded to 70, "watching everyone eat, walk, and talk, your heart will be solid." ”
Fireworks are fragrant and people come and go. "Wuhan people 'don't obey the week' and don't admit defeat, just like this hot dry noodles, they can withstand the boiling hot water, and they can quickly cool down at low temperatures, and still maintain their own toughness." Ross said.
By the end of 2021, there were nearly 270,000 newly registered market entities in Wuhan, an increase of 40% year-on-year, of which the new registration of foreign-funded enterprises increased by 60% year-on-year, showing "high opening and high walking, wonderful throughout the year".
The fireworks on the pedestrian street, the fast pace of the business district, the office workers in the subway, the crowds in front of the train station... The vitality surging in all corners of the city also visually shows the degree of recovery of Wuhan. In the first three quarters of 2021, Wuhan's GDP was 1,231.773 billion yuan, an increase of 18.8% over the same period of the previous year and an increase of 6.4% over the same period in 2019.
Manufacturing is also making efforts. China Chegu, tower cranes, roaring machines, shuttle transport vehicles, Xiaopeng Automobile, Zhongxin Aviation, Lotus 3 tens of billions of yuan projects, is fully promoting the construction.
From the whole vehicle to the core components, from automatic driving to smart travel, the veteran automobile industry town of Wuhan anchors the frontiers of new energy and intelligent networking, a future-oriented automobile industry cluster, is accelerating.
The "wisdom" of a building
In the southeast corner of Wuhan where high-tech enterprises gather, in the Optics Valley Future Science and Technology City Park, a 12-story building is widely praised in the industry - "Beidou Building", above which are chip research and development enterprises, and below are Beidou foundation enhancement services, application solution services and other fields of enterprises.
In front of the floor index board, the reporter saw that a number of enterprises such as Wuhan Navigation Institute, Beidou Industrial Innovation Center, Mengxin Technology, Wuhan Yixun and a number of "Beidou +" innovation and "+Beidou" applications gathered.
"The entire Beidou industrial chain can be found in this building, and the technical resources are autonomous and controllable." Sometimes when you encounter urgent problems to deal with, or even things related to the company's decision-making, you may be able to find the answer by running up and downstairs. Fang Ting, deputy general manager of Wuhan Mengxin Technology Co., Ltd., said.
In this building, the Beidou high-precision chip was developed and more than 10 international standards for the Beidou system were introduced. Such a "neighborhood relationship" allows enterprises to reduce time and economic costs, shorten the time cycle of technology update iteration.
"Smart cars are on the road of wisdom, and I'm getting 'lazy' driving now." In the autonomous driving demonstration area in the corner of the city, the technology in the "Beidou Building" has been used in the car of Li Youhua, a resident of the Golden Mile Blue Bay Community in Wuhan Economic Development Zone.
A building, a chain, extending to a city. The reporter saw that such an industrial "building" is growing together, and Wuhan is transforming the "key variables" of scientific and technological innovation into the "largest increment" of high-quality development.
In the past year, Wuhan has started 768 new projects of more than 100 million yuan, with a total investment of about 1 trillion yuan, and the investment in industrial technological transformation has increased by 29.9%, accounting for 45.2% of industrial investment.
On February 18 last year, relying on the scientific research and industrial advantages of China Optics Valley, the construction of the Optics Valley Science and Technology Innovation Corridor with East Lake Science City as the core was launched. Eight months later, three new large scientific devices were added to the "14th Five-Year Plan" for major national scientific and technological infrastructure. The Optics Valley Science and Technology Innovation Corridor with East Lake Science City as the core area increased by 2,200 high-tech enterprises throughout the year, and the added value of high-tech industries increased by more than 14% year-on-year, accounting for about 26% of GDP.
The "Da" of a city
At 1:05 a.m. on January 7, the X8015 train, which was grouped with 50 cars and fully loaded with electronic components, daily necessities and epidemic prevention materials, left Wujiashan Station and headed for Duisburg, Germany. This is the second China-Europe train in Wuhan in the new year.
In 2021, 455 trains will be converted and shipped, totaling more than 37,000 TEUs, with a total mileage of 3.85 million kilometers, equivalent to 96 laps around the Earth's equator... Relying on this freight channel, 9770.86 tons of masks, protective clothing, ventilators, surgical gowns and other epidemic prevention materials urgently needed for local anti-epidemic were transported to Germany, Poland, Hungary and other countries.
At dawn, 60 kilometers east along the railway, the "Huafeng No. 6 Ship" is departing from the yangluo port phase II wharf, and will arrive at the chenglingji port in Yueyang in 33 hours, and then the goods will be on the railway to Guangzhou.
Four months ago, the second phase of the Yangluo Port Container Iron-Water Intermodal Transport Project was opened to traffic, opening up the "last kilometer" of railway and water transportation in Wuhan and realizing the seamless docking of molten iron.
"The China-Europe Express (Wuhan) is effectively connected with the iron-water intermodal transport, the railway hub and the port hub are linked from east to west, and Hubei has formed a closed loop connecting the overland Silk Road Economic Belt and the Maritime Silk Road." Ye Qing, professor and doctoral supervisor of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, believes that Wuhan has become one of the few "strategic buttons" in the country that can connect the "Belt and Road" and the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Just like the "camel bell" of a thousand years ago, the "camel bell" resounded throughout the Wanli Tea Ceremony, located in the inland, Wuhan is accelerating the process of "connecting the river to the sea" and constantly consolidating the "main artery" connecting the whole country and reaching the world.
At night, Wuhan Tianhe Airport, the lights are like day.
On the No. 5 cargo apron, Liang Huan, the supervisor of loading and unloading of the Operation support department of Hubei Airport Group Aviation Logistics Co., Ltd., is busy supervising loading and unloading and checking the goods arriving from departure. Since last month, Liang Huan has been working here for more than ten days.
The busy airport is Liang Huan's most intuitive feeling, "Recently, there are more than ten international flights in and out every day on average, and the most daily is 21. ”
Under the domestic economy to maintain a good trend, Wuhan and Hubei epidemic prevention materials, electronic products, bulk trade goods, e-commerce goods, etc. are exported in large quantities, in 2021, Wuhan Tianhe Airport International (regional) cargo and mail throughput completed 145,700 tons, more than twice that of 2019, and the total import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce is even more eye-catching, reaching 53.35 million votes, which is more than 33 times that of the whole year of 2019.
The leaping curve not only highlights the powerful driving force for Wuhan's post-epidemic revitalization, but also the vivid practice of Wuhan to build a domestic and international dual-cycle strategic link under the background of multiple strategic superposition.
Jianghai, land and air, Wuhan in 2022 four-way launch ——
The container throughput of Wuhan Port sprinted to 2.8 million TEUs; the China-Europe Express (Wuhan) built a regional hub node; Tianhe Airport's international and regional routes covered six continents except Antarctica; the Hanshi high-speed railway was completed and opened to traffic; major projects such as the Wuhan-Yichang section of the Shanghai-Chongqing-Rong high-speed railway began construction; and the construction of Wuhan's "super-meter-shaped" railway hub network was continuously improved...
At the first session of the 15th People's Congress of Wuhan, which was recently concluded, the work report of the Wuhan Municipal Government pointed out that this year, the first phase of the Qianchuan Line, the second phase of Line 16, and the first phase of the Air Rail Tourism Line of the Optics Valley Ecological Corridor will be opened, and the construction of the second phase of Rail Transit Line 3, the extension line of Line 6, and the fourth phase of Line 11 will be started.
The rail transit in all directions is the epitome of the continuous growth of Wuhan City. (Liao Jun, Hou Wenkun, Xiong Qi)
