Fang Guodong, a "deputy to the National People's Congress": Let culture become the driving force for economic development

Jiujiang News Network News (Jiujiang Daily all-media reporter Chen Guyue) From the 14th Municipal People's Congress to the current 16th People's Congress deputies, Fang Guodong, executive deputy general manager of Jiujiang Deep Burning Natural Gas Co., Ltd., has been running for 11 years on the road of making suggestions and suggestions. During this period, while doing his own work and doing a good job in enterprise development, he paid attention to energy, environmental protection, legislation, culture and other aspects, and two bills were rated as excellent bills of the year.

Fang Guodong believes that urban quality is soft power, and the embodiment of urban quality is culture. In 2017, Fang Guodong proposed the establishment of the Jiujiang Cultural Research Institute. After the establishment of the institute that year, hundreds of well-known scholars from the local and outside world were invited to tell the history of the city and spread traditional culture in the form of lectures and salons. In addition to the epidemic period, rain or shine, almost no interruption, so far more than 300 have been held. "We currently have 4 groups, and we send messages in the group before each lecture, and the event is full on the day of the event." The influence of the lecture is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people affected is also increasing, "I hope that this cultural tradition will become a spiritual nourishment, and finally it can be transformed into a cultural consciousness." ”

In 2019, Fang Guodong was concerned that some social groups wanted to participate in the activities of the cultural and artistic center, but due to financial problems, they were restricted, so he put forward the "Proposal on Returning the Cultural and Artistic Center to the Function of Public Cultural Services", which was highly valued and quickly landed, and now the various activities of the Municipal Cultural and Arts Center are very rich.

In the process of communicating with many scholars, Fang Guodong constantly thinks about how to make cultural inheritance continue, not only becoming a spiritual force, but also transforming it into a driving force for economic development. In this context, the first Lushan Sinology Summit and the 2018 China Characteristic Town • Sea Conference Forum in 2018 were successfully held, and a series of ideas such as the integration of rural cultural construction and rural tourism, the integration of characteristic towns and rural revitalization, and the integration of cultural and creative products and global tourism were put forward, which promoted global tourism.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his important "July 1st" speech that to promote the combination of the basic principles of Marxism and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, Fang Guodong set his sights on the White Deer Cave Academy.

He believes that the Chinese science culture and educational culture carried by The White Deer Cave Academy not only have irreplaceable cultural significance in history, but also have immeasurable social value in the tide of contemporary national rejuvenation. At present, the historical value and due status of Bailudong Academy have not been reflected, and we should dig deep into the cultural connotation of Bailudong Academy, build Bailudong Academy into a national-level research base and exchange platform for science culture and education culture, and build a national-level Suntech culture and integrity culture exhibition corridor and youth research base camp. While optimizing the education ecology, purifying the social atmosphere, and strengthening the cultural self-confidence of the citizens, it also catalyzes the cultural and economic development of the city, thus stringing together the pearl chain of the cultural economy around the mountain, forming a unique development model of Bailudong, and revitalizing the majesty of "the first academy in the country" at that time.
