Explanation of "Proposal of Hainan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 14th Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Target for 2035 (Discussion Draft)"
(December 3, 2020)
Shen Xiaoming

Comrades:

Entrusted by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, I made an explanation to the plenary session on the drafting of the Proposal of Hainan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 14th Five-year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Target for the Year 2035 (discussion draft) (hereinafter referred to as the Proposal Draft).

I. Drafting process of proposal draft

The "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period is the first five years for China to build a well-off society in an all-round way and realize the first century-long struggle goal, and it is also the key five years for our province to build a free trade port with China characteristics with high quality and high standards. The provincial party committee regards the preparation of the 14th Five-Year Plan as a major political task this year, and takes it as an important premise to learn and understand the spirit of the series of important speeches and important instructions made by the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the preparation of the 14th Five-Year Plan and on Hainan’s work. On September 27th, the fourth (enlarged) meeting of the Financial and Economic Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the meeting of the drafting group of the "14th Five-Year Plan" of the Provincial Party Committee were held to study the important speeches made by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader at five symposiums, including entrepreneurs, grassroots representatives and experts in the economic and social fields, and the important guiding spirit of the online consultation activities for the "14th Five-Year Plan". On October 30th and 31st, the Standing Committee (enlarged) meeting of the provincial party committee and the special study meeting of the provincial party committee were held respectively to convey and implement the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, and effectively unify thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee.

The drafting of the proposal was carried out under the direct leadership of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. As early as April 22nd, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee deliberated and adopted the Basic Ideas of the 14th Five-Year Plan of Hainan Province. On July 20th, the provincial party committee set up the drafting group of the "14th Five-Year Plan" to strengthen the organization and leadership of the drafting of the planning proposal. During the period, the provincial party committee made many special studies, and relevant provincial leaders also hosted special planning symposiums in different categories.

In the process of drafting the proposal, we always keep in mind the spirit of the important speech and important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the preparation of the 14 th Five-Year Plan, persist in promoting democracy, open the door to ask questions and brainstorm ideas, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all sectors of society to participate in the preparation of planning proposals. From late August to mid-September, the responsible comrades of the provincial party committee held special symposiums to listen to the opinions and suggestions of provincial veteran cadres, party representatives, deputies to the National People’s Congress, CPPCC members, democratic parties and personages without party affiliation, entrepreneurs and experts and scholars. From late July to early September, the drafting group went deep into cities and counties and Yangpu Economic Development Zone to carry out research, and conducted online consultation activities on the preparation of the 14 th Five-Year Plan on Hainan Daily Client, Nanhai Net and Hainan Learning Platform, a "learning power", and widely listened to opinions and suggestions from all sides. On September 27th, a meeting of the drafting group of the "14th Five-Year Plan" was held to listen to the opinions of the members of the four leading bodies and the drafting group. On October 9th, we solicited opinions from the party committees of cities and counties, 82 provincial party committees, relevant departments of provincial state organs, relevant people’s organizations, and party groups (party committees) of relevant central units stationed in Qionglai. After the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, it was further revised in the light of the central "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal. During the drafting period, I solicited opinions from provincial leaders such as the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee twice. After summarizing, there were 1314 revised opinions from all sides, and the drafting group carefully sorted out, analyzed one by one and deliberated repeatedly, and absorbed and adopted 996 opinions, with an adoption rate of 75.8%.

Judging from the feedback from soliciting opinions, everyone thinks that the main theme of the proposal draft is clear and prominent, the goal is ambitious and pragmatic, and the task deployment direction is clear, which provides an important basis for compiling the Outline of the 14 th Five-Year Plan. Everyone also fully affirmed the achievements made in the economic and social development of our province during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period. They believed that the past five years were the five years with the highest morale, the most energetic and the most outstanding achievements in the whole province, and the five years with the greatest efforts, the most achievements and the most obvious results in comprehensively deepening reform and opening up. In particular, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port" (hereinafter referred to as the "Overall Plan"), which endowed Hainan with new major responsibilities and missions for reform and opening up, and Hainan ushered in a once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity; The policy effects such as duty-free shopping on outlying islands and visa-free landing have been continuously enlarged, 11 key parks have been listed simultaneously, and the free trade port policy dividend has been continuously released; The modern industrial system supported by the three leading industries has been accelerated, and the proportion of service industry has increased from 54% to more than 60%, and the high-quality economic development has taken solid steps; Decisive victory was achieved in tackling poverty, with 600 poverty-stricken villages listed, and 649,700 poverty-stricken people who set up files and set up cards were all lifted out of poverty; The provincial "multi-regulation integration" reform has achieved remarkable results; "Five networks" infrastructure upgrading, etc. It is believed that these achievements are the result of the correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the result of the concerted efforts of Party organizations at all levels in the province, all party member and people of all ethnic groups, and have laid a solid foundation for building a free trade port with high quality and high standards.

In the process of soliciting opinions, various parties put forward many good opinions and suggestions, mainly in the following ten aspects. First, further emancipate the mind, boldly reform and innovate, encourage cadres to take responsibility, and live up to the ardent expectations of the CPC Central Committee and the Supreme Leader General Secretary for Hainan; Second, under the background of free trade port construction, the economic growth rate should be faster during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period; Third, pay close attention to the implementation of the first-stage key tasks identified in the "Overall Plan" and start the island-wide customs clearance operation as soon as possible; The fourth is to closely follow the theme of high-quality development, grasp the connotation of the new development pattern, and reflect Hainan’s responsibility; Fifth, the proportion of modern service industry should be further improved, and a number of 100-billion-level and a number of 10-billion-level parks should be built to cultivate the parks into "locomotives" for the construction of free trade ports; Sixth, benchmark Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other advanced regions to create a first-class business environment; Seventh, adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, and realize the effective connection between consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization; Eighth, adhere to the concept of system, and further promote "a game of chess in the whole province and the urbanization of the whole island"; The ninth is to build a high-level national ecological civilization experimental zone to promote a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development; Tenth, adhere to the people-centered, and solve the people’s livelihood issues such as prices, education and medical care that people are generally concerned about.

On November 18th, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee held a special meeting to consider the draft proposal. According to the opinions of the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the drafting group revised the draft proposal again and formed a draft proposal submitted to this plenary session for consideration. It can be said that the proposal draft is the result of the provincial party Committee’s full development of democracy and cohesion, and it is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of all levels, departments and all walks of life in the province.

II. Main considerations and basic framework of the proposed draft

The overall consideration in drafting the proposal draft is to fully implement the series of important speeches and instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on Hainan’s work, the No.12 Document of the Central Committee and the spirit of the Overall Plan, thoroughly implement the decision-making arrangements made by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, closely integrate the reality of Hainan, grasp the new development stage, adhere to the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and take on new responsibilities, show new actions and make new contributions with practical actions of building a free trade port with high quality and high standards.

The draft proposal consists of thirteen parts, divided into three sections. The first part is a general introduction, including the first and second parts, which mainly expounds the decisive achievements in building a well-off society in an all-round way, the new opportunities and challenges in the new development stage, the long-term goals in 2035, and the guiding ideology, principles and main goals of economic and social development during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.

Third, several key issues that need to be explained

The draft proposal puts forward some major arrangements and arrangements, and here are some brief explanations.

(1) Building Hainan Free Trade Port with high quality and high standards. The construction of a free trade port with China characteristics in Hainan is an important measure of reform and opening up, which was personally planned, deployed and promoted by the Supreme Leader General Secretary. Every step of the construction of the free trade port embodies the care and love of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee. Since "April 13th", General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has given important instructions on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port for 18 times. In particular, on May 28th this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. At the beginning of October, we gave instructions on the report on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port; At the opening ceremony of the 3rd China International Import Expo(CIIE) on November 4th, it was pointed out that the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port started smoothly. China will effectively play the leading role of free trade pilot zone and free trade port "; On November 19th, Hainan Free Trade Port was mentioned again in the keynote speech of APEC Business Leaders Dialogue. The central "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal also emphasizes "steadily promoting the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and building a new highland for opening to the outside world". The ardent expectations of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the CPC Central Committee and their deep concern for Hainan people have greatly enhanced the confidence and determination of the broad masses of cadres and people in the province to build a free trade port.

It is the core, the most important and the most urgent goal and task of Hainan during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period to thoroughly implement the spirit of the series of important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, do a good job in the implementation of the Overall Plan and go all out to build a free trade port. With regard to the attitude and determination to implement it, the provincial party committee has repeatedly stressed that "it is urgent and not slow", and it must have a sense of crisis and urgency, otherwise it will miss the historic development opportunity. In terms of ideas and methods of implementation, we should put system integration and innovation in a more prominent position, connect with international high-level economic and trade rules, and maximize the free and convenient flow of production factors. In grasping the pace and progress of implementation, we should pay close attention to the "control project" and necessary conditions for starting the island’s customs clearance operation before 2025, grasp the relationship between "first-line" liberalization and "second-line" management, and strive for early customs clearance operation.

Therefore, the draft proposal takes accelerating the implementation of the first phase of the construction of the free trade port as the top priority, building the infrastructure, supervision facilities and information systems of open ports and "second-line ports" with high standards, accelerating the implementation of major policies such as "five freedoms, convenience, safety and order", planning major projects, promoting major innovations, and making specific arrangements for achieving more early harvest and early customs clearance operation.

(2) On promoting high-quality development. The central "14 th Five-Year Plan" suggests that the theme of economic and social development during the "14 th Five-Year Plan" period should be to promote high-quality development. High-quality development is a development that can meet the people’s growing needs for a better life, embodies the new development concept, and is a development in which innovation becomes the first driving force, coordination becomes the endogenous feature, green becomes the universal form, openness becomes the only way, and sharing becomes the fundamental purpose. Promoting high-quality development is the fundamental requirement for determining development ideas and formulating policies and measures at present and in the future.

To promote high-quality development, we must implement the new development concept to the letter. In terms of innovation and development, we should adhere to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of modernization, emancipate our minds, make bold innovations, build a distinctive innovation platform, accelerate the construction of "smart Hainan", and build a smart benchmark for global free trade ports. In terms of coordinated development, starting from the outstanding problems of unbalanced and uncoordinated development, we will adhere to the principle of "a chess game in the whole province and the whole island being integrated into the same city" and promote the coordinated development of regions, urban and rural areas, material civilization and spiritual civilization, and economic construction and national defense construction. In terms of green development, we should practice the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", fully implement the rectification measures of feedback from the central environmental protection inspector and the national marine inspector, and deepen the six special rectification of the ecological environment. We should resolutely reject projects that destroy the ecological environment, even if they create more GDP and more tax revenue, and we should not "find vegetables in the basket" to promote the formation of a green production lifestyle and ensure that the ecological environment can only be better, but not worse. In terms of opening up and development, we should stick to opening up first, build a new highland for opening up to the outside world, build an important hub for participating in the domestic and international double cycle, deeply integrate into the construction of the "Belt and Road", actively implement and serve the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement, and make Hainan an important open gateway for China. In terms of shared development, we should take the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of development, and ensure that the dividends from the construction of the free trade port will benefit all the people more fairly.

To promote high-quality development, we must maintain a relatively fast development speed. In soliciting opinions, many comrades suggested that the development speed should be faster under the background of building a free trade port, and live up to the care and love of the CPC Central Committee and the earnest expectations of the people of the whole province. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the economic development of our province is expected to achieve a relatively high growth rate, mainly due to five considerations. From the mission, Hainan shoulders the great mission of building a free trade port with China characteristics entrusted by the CPC Central Committee, and the effectiveness of fulfilling the mission must be reflected in the achievements of development. From the basic point of view, we have made remarkable achievements during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, especially the continuous improvement of the infrastructure of the "five networks", the continuous optimization of the industrial structure and investment structure, and the continuous improvement of economic quality and core competitiveness. From the trend, Hainan should rely on the domestic big market, give full play to the advantages of the free trade port policy, actively participate in promoting the construction of a new development pattern, do a good job in Hainan articles, and make Hainan contributions. From the main point of view, there are currently more than 1.159 million market players in the province. It is estimated that from April 13th, 2018 to April 13th next year, the number of new market players is expected to exceed the sum of the past 30 years, reflecting the market’s confidence in the free trade port and its enthusiasm for participating in Hainan’s development, and the momentum is still growing. From the perspective of layout, the reform of "multi-regulation integration" has been deepened, the direction of industrial development has become clearer, and a number of controlling, basic and leading projects such as "Smart Hainan" have been accelerated. This has provided a solid support for the realization of high-speed growth during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.

To promote high-quality development, we must further optimize the economic structure. The "April 13th" important speech of the Supreme Leader, the 12th Document of the Central Committee and the General Plan all put forward clear requirements for building a modern economic system. Hainan should take the development of tourism, modern service industry and high-tech industry as the leading factor, and emphasize the all-round development of people to fully stimulate the vitality and creativity of development. From the perspective of the world’s major free trade ports, the service industry occupies an important position in the modern industrial system. For example, the added value of the service industry in Singapore and Dubai accounts for more than 70% of the domestic or regional GDP, and Hong Kong has reached more than 90%. According to the actual situation of our province, the modern service industry has the fastest development speed and the greatest potential, and it is the leading industry that drives the economic growth of our province. To this end, the proposed draft proposes to aim at the international advanced level, promote the optimization and upgrading of the service industry, focus on the development of modern service industries such as trade in goods and services, modern logistics and modern finance, and form an industrial structure dominated by a service-oriented economy. By 2025, the added value of the service industry will reach more than 65%, creating a model for high-quality development.

(3) Promoting the construction of a new development pattern. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee clearly proposed to speed up the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other. This is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core according to the changes in China’s development stage, environment and conditions, and it is a strategic choice to adapt to the new requirements of China’s development stage and shape new advantages in international cooperation and competition. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee demanded that to build a new development pattern, on the one hand, we should seize the strategic base point of expanding domestic demand, promote structural reform on the supply side, improve the adaptability of the supply system to domestic demand, and form a higher level dynamic balance of demand pulling supply and supply creating demand; On the other hand, the new development pattern is an open domestic and international double cycle. We should open wider to the outside world at a higher level, make China a powerful gravitational field to attract high-quality global resource elements, and promote mutual benefit and common prosperity and development between China and other countries.

How to grasp the strategic connotation of accelerating the construction of a new development pattern from the overall situation and strategic height, and how to play a leading and driving role in the new development pattern, Hainan should focus on the following three aspects.

The first is to create an open new highland. Hainan, adjacent to Southeast Asia, has the advantages of utilizing two domestic and international markets and resources, superimposing a free trade port policy with global influence, and is fully qualified to build a regional international trade center, connecting the two major domestic and international cycles, providing consumers with more and better products and services, and leading and creating richer new demands; We have the conditions and advantages to lead in the double cycle and better form new advantages in participating in international economic cooperation and competition.

In terms of opening wider to the outside world, it is necessary to meet the international high-level economic and trade rules, promote the free and convenient flow of trade, investment, capital, personnel entry and exit, and transportation, integrate into the global industrial chain and international division of labor, and attract global resource elements to gather; It is necessary to strengthen cultural exchanges and communication with foreign countries, promote culture to go abroad, and enhance the attractiveness of cultural products. Accordingly, the proposed draft puts forward measures such as building an international shipping hub and aviation hub for the new land-sea passage in the west, building a four-hour and eight-hour flight economic circle and building a platform for cultural, educational, agricultural and tourism exchanges on the 21st century Maritime Silk Road.

In terms of opening wider to the outside world, we should overcome the unfavorable factors of raw materials and markets, give full play to the advantages of "relying on the super-large domestic market and hinterland economy", promote the coordinated development and strategic docking between regions, and guide mainland enterprises to develop headquarters economy, develop new formats and open up new markets in Qionglai. Accordingly, the draft proposal puts forward measures such as promoting the coordinated development with Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, deepening the cooperation between Guangdong, Guangxi and Qiongzhou, and building the Qiongzhou Strait Economic Belt.

The second is to build an international tourism consumption center with world influence. China has a population of 1.4 billion, the per capita GDP has exceeded $10,000, and the middle-income group has exceeded 400 million. It is the largest and most potential consumer market in the world. Under the influence of the shrinking global market and the COVID-19 epidemic, the importance of expanding domestic demand as a strategic basis is even more prominent. Hainan has a unique ecological environment and rich tropical resources, and tourism is Hainan’s beautiful business card. During the Golden Week of November this year, the amount of duty-free shopping in the province’s outlying islands reached 1.04 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 148.7%. During the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we should actively integrate into the domestic cycle, make good use of the "golden signboard" for duty-free shopping on outlying islands, stimulate domestic demand, and attract Chinese residents to spend overseas; It is necessary to practice hard to enhance the competitiveness and attractiveness of tourism, attract the world’s top consumer brands to settle in and lead the international tourism consumption trend; It is necessary to promote the integration of tourism and culture, develop new cultural consumption formats, and make the people of the province feel more experienced and the people of the whole country feel more gained. Therefore, the draft proposal proposes measures such as holding the China International Consumer Goods Expo at a high level, creating the first destination to replace outbound tourism and shopping in China, attracting famous events to settle down, promoting the construction of cruise tourism pilot zone and yacht industry reform, development and innovation pilot zone, and strengthening cultural entertainment, festivals and exhibitions.

The third is to expand and optimize effective investment. Investment is the key support for steady growth, structural adjustment and employment promotion, and it is also the stabilizer and booster for economic and social development. The construction of Hainan Free Trade Port must be promoted by one project and one investment. To accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, we must give play to the key role of investment in optimizing the supply structure. Since "April 13th", we have strengthened the project investment to promote the construction of the free trade port, and adhered to the principle of "bi-monthly centralized contract signing and single-month centralized construction". In the past two years, 1,331 projects have been started intensively with a total investment of 607.7 billion yuan, achieving a smooth start in the construction of the free trade port. In the first three quarters of this year, the province’s fixed assets investment increased by 8.4% year-on-year, ranking fifth in the country in terms of growth rate. However, the construction of free trade port still needs a lot of investment, especially in key parks, "five networks" infrastructure, new industrialization, informationization, urbanization, agricultural modernization and public services, and we still have great potential. During the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we must further optimize the investment structure, maintain a reasonable growth of investment, give play to the role of government investment, stimulate the vitality of private investment, and speed up the filling of shortcomings. To this end, the proposed draft proposes to implement a number of major infrastructure projects, lay out new infrastructure in advance, and build a modern infrastructure system; Promote new urbanization with people as the core, implement urban renewal actions, and steadily promote the transformation of old urban areas, shanty towns and old communities; Fill in the shortcomings and weaknesses of urban and rural public infrastructure construction and improve urban and rural public service capabilities.

(four) on the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period and the economic development goals by 2035. When determining the economic development goals, we conscientiously implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, maintain a high degree of consistency with the No.12 Document of the Central Committee and the Overall Plan, and fully consider the development environment at home and abroad and the reality of our province, so as to be both inspiring and practical.

On the economic development goals during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. In the process of soliciting opinions, some cities, counties, departments, experts and scholars clearly put forward that the economic development of our province should achieve a relatively high growth rate during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in the explanation of the central "14th Five-Year Plan" proposal that it is entirely possible for the whole country to double its economic aggregate or per capita income by 2035. Considering our province’s small economy, strong late-comer advantage and lower per capita GDP than the national average, the drafting group, after careful study and calculation, believes that our province has the conditions, hope and potential to achieve a higher economic growth, and the regional GDP is expected to double by 2025. To this end, the draft proposal emphasizes the speed of development while guiding all aspects to focus on the quality and efficiency of development, and puts forward that the economic growth rate of our province during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period ranks among the top in the country, and the regional GDP achieves an average annual growth of more than 10%, and the per capita regional GDP ranks among high-income regions.

About the goal of economic development by 2035. Considering the continuous release of the free trade port policy dividend, our province’s economy is expected to maintain a relatively high growth rate in the next 15 years and achieve a historic leap. To this end, the proposed draft proposes that by 2035, our province should be at the forefront of the country in socialist modernization, and the system and operation mode of the free trade port will be more mature and become a new highland of China’s open economy; The economic aggregate and the per capita income of urban and rural residents have reached a new level; Build a modern economic system and form a number of trillion-dollar industries such as the Internet, consumption (including duty-free shopping), health and education, tourism, culture and sports; Initially build a beautiful new Hainan with economic prosperity, social civilization, ecological livability and people’s happiness.

The proposal of the provincial party committee mainly focuses on the general direction, and comprehensively considers various factors. The draft proposal adopts a qualitative expression with quantitative implications for the economic development goals during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and by 2035. When compiling the Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, corresponding quantitative targets can be put forward on the basis of careful calculation.

(5) On the construction of a people-centered free trade port. When General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Hainan in 2013, he called for speeding up the construction of a beautiful new Hainan with economic prosperity, social civilization, ecological livability and people’s happiness, which reflected the people-centered development thought. The Seventh Provincial Party Congress and the No.12 Document of the Central Committee all take the construction of a beautiful new Hainan as the development goal, with the aim of making the people live a good life and have a sense of gain, happiness and security. In June this year, the provincial party committee held an on-the-spot meeting to fully implement the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on "Well-off society is not well-off, and the key is to look at fellow villagers", and to mobilize and redeploy Hainan to win the final battle of poverty alleviation and build a well-off society in sync with the whole country, also for this development goal.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we resolutely won the battle against poverty, and all the key counties in poverty alleviation and development in five countries took off their hats and won the excellent evaluation of the effectiveness of poverty alleviation for two consecutive years; Every year, more than 70% of fiscal revenue will be invested in people’s livelihood, 102 schools and 49 hospitals will be introduced, and a social security system covering the whole people will be basically completed. However, we should also be soberly aware that 80% of the land in our province is in rural areas, and more than 60% of the registered population is in rural areas. The development of agriculture and rural areas is not sufficient, and there is a big gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution. This is the biggest provincial situation in Hainan and the biggest shortcoming in the construction of a free trade port. In the new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way, we must always adhere to the people-centered principle, continue to carry forward the spirit of the SAR of "being bold and daring to try, being the first, and working hard" and the spirit of "being rooted in the soil, persevering and selfless dedication", promote fairness and justice, and ensure that the fruits of reform and development benefit all the people. To this end, the draft proposal proposes to improve the income level of urban and rural residents, implement the employment priority policy, build a high-quality education system, improve the social security system, promote the construction of a healthy Hainan, improve the multi-level housing security and supply system, and effectively link the achievements of consolidating and expanding poverty alleviation with rural revitalization, so that all people will take solid steps towards common prosperity by 2035.

(six) on the prevention and resolution of major risks. In his important speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to properly handle the relationship between development and security, and implement security development in the whole process of development. The General Secretary repeatedly told Hainan to strengthen the construction of risk prevention and control system, and made a series of important instructions on drawing lessons from three "ups and downs" in Hainan’s history and preventing and resolving risks, which provided important guidance for us to coordinate all work.

In recent years, the provincial party Committee has always adhered to the bottom line thinking and unswervingly promoted the work of preventing and resolving major risks. For example, in terms of real estate risk prevention and control, we have made a series of measures to regulate real estate with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist. From the implementation of the "two suspensions" policy in 2016 to the implementation of global purchase restriction in 2018, we will resolutely curb speculation and promote the sustained and healthy development of the real estate industry. In terms of risk prevention and control of goods trade, the Provisional Regulations on Anti-smuggling in Hainan Province was formulated and implemented, and the construction of provincial big data management bureau, data hall and social management information platform was accelerated, and three solid defense lines, namely, offshore, shoreline and island, were built, which formed a strong deterrent to all kinds of smuggling activities. In the aspect of ecological environment risk prevention and control, adhere to the principle that all new projects are not allowed to cause incremental pressure on the ecological environment to ensure that the ecological environment can only be better and not worse. In terms of risk prevention and control of social governance, Tiequan banned drugs and gambling, and carried out a special struggle to eliminate evil and ensure social harmony and stability.

With the deepening of the construction of the free trade port, the level of opening up is gradually improved, and the uncertainties and unstable factors are increasing, and the risks and challenges will become more severe. If these risks are not managed well, they will easily interfere, hinder and delay the comprehensive deepening of reform and opening up, and may even make directional mistakes. To this end, the proposed draft proposes to improve the governance ability to prevent and resolve various risks, focusing on risk prevention and control in trade, taxation, finance, data flow, public health, safety production and other fields to ensure that systematic risks do not occur.

(seven) on adhering to the concept of system. In his important speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the concept of system is a basic thought and working method. China’s development environment is facing profound and complex changes, the problem of insufficient development imbalance is still outstanding, and the contradictions in economic and social development are complicated. We must plan and solve them from the perspective of system concept, and comprehensively coordinate and promote work in various fields and socialist modernization. The complexity, sensitivity and hardship faced by the construction of free trade port are no less than those at the beginning of reform and opening up. We must adhere to systematic planning and overall planning, resolutely break the piecemeal adjustment and piecemeal minor repairs, resolutely break the barriers between departments and regions, and resolutely break the restrictions of system blocks to achieve the unity of development quality, structure, scale, speed, efficiency and safety.

The proposed draft highlights forward-looking thinking, overall planning, strategic layout, and overall promotion, and runs through the whole text with the concept of system, emphasizing the integration and innovation of systems in a prominent position, initially establishing a free trade port policy system, and removing institutional and institutional obstacles that hinder the market-oriented allocation of production factors and the circulation of goods and services; Emphasize the adherence to "a game of chess in the whole province, the whole island being the same city" and establish a more effective new mechanism for coordinated regional and urban-rural development; Emphasize building a first-class business environment, adhere to the five-level secretary to optimize the business environment, and improve the working mechanism of party Committee leadership, government responsibility, participation of all parties and social supervision; Emphasis is placed on deepening the reform of the large-scale department system, and the matters with similar functions and similar business scope are relatively concentrated.

Comrades! It is the main task of this plenary session to consider and adopt the "14 th Five-Year Plan" and the long-term goal proposal for 2035. Doing this work well is of great significance to guiding the compilation of the Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan and leading the economic and social development during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period. Everyone should seriously think and discuss in depth, put forward constructive opinions and suggestions, and formulate a high-level planning proposal. Let’s make concerted efforts and brainstorm to make this plenary session a success!

Do takeaway riders really face the dilemma of "de-skill"?

Johnny Chen

Under the background of the rapid development of platform economy and digital technology, do the new professional groups represented by selling riders face the risk of technical unemployment? This issue of "Investigation and Research" is based on interviews and investigations on the rider’s labor process, and at the same time, it organizes multi-perspective discussions in the industry and academia to explore more topics about the development of intelligent society.

According to the data of "China Sharing Economy Development Report 2021" released by the National Information Center, there will be about 84 million sharing economy service providers in China in 2020, with a year-on-year increase of about 7.7%. The sharing economic service providers here mainly include new employment forms such as take-away riders, online car drivers and couriers. At the beginning of 2023, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions released the results of the ninth national survey on the status of the workforce. The data shows that there are currently 84 million workers in the new employment form in China. The number of take-away riders reached 13 million, accounting for 15% of the total workers in the new employment form. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of take-away riders increased sharply. Take Meituan as an example. From 2020 to 2022, the number of riders increased from 4.7 million to 6.24 million, an increase of 32.8%.

The large-scale rise of workers with new employment forms is closely related to the prosperity and development of platform economy. The rapid development of platform economy is inseparable from the rapid progress of artificial intelligence technology. As the core driving force of the fourth industrial revolution, artificial intelligence technology is setting off a global wave of science and technology, which not only becomes the strategic commanding height of scientific and technological competition between countries, but also profoundly changes all aspects of human social production and daily life. However, the wide application of artificial intelligence technology in the platform economy not only promotes the production progress and the convenience of life, but also causes people’s worries about the "skills removal" and "technical unemployment" caused by technological progress.

In July 2021, Meituan revealed at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference that unmanned delivery vehicles will develop into large-scale applications in 3-5 years. UAV service is also expected to appear in more cities within 3-5 years. The rapid development of unmanned distribution inevitably makes people worry about "de-skilling" and being replaced. However, the relevant personnel of the US Mission also said that unmanned distribution and non-contact economy are an ecological concept. Only scale and normalization can solve the cost problem, and manpower is still needed before all the advantages of innovation and technological iteration appear, so a large number of unemployment is unlikely. This can’t completely eliminate people’s worries about "de-skill" and "technical unemployment" caused by technological progress. In view of the huge scale of take-away riders, automation, digitalization and unmanned are imperative, it is necessary for us to go back to the problem that worries us and re-understand the labor process of "de-skill" and take-away riders.

The Essence of "De-skilling" and Tacit Knowledge in Labor Process

The idea of "de-skilling" originated from American economist harry braverman. In his view, Taylor’s scientific management is to concentrate scattered handicraft knowledge on employers, and then distribute it to workers in the form of detailed instruction books. Braverman described it as "separation of concept and implementation". Therefore, the essence of "de-skill" is the separation of concept and execution, that is, the separation of hand and brain in work.

"De-skilling" means the degeneration of workers. With the mechanization and automation of industrial production process, especially the infinite subdivision of work, workers in specific positions have less and less skills to master, and then become part of the production line instead of a complete person. Workers no longer use their brains at work, but execute orders like parts or tools of machines. As a result, workers become more and more stupid.

Back to the labor process of the takeaway rider. A large number of studies at home and abroad have revealed the trend of artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms in strengthening platform supervision ability, reducing workers’ autonomy and "de-skill". As mentioned above, "de-skill" is essentially the separation of hands and brains at work, and the result is the degradation of workers’ cognitive ability; However, in actual observation, the performance of takeaway riders is not the case. One of the important reasons is that the rider’s "tacit knowledge" in his work is ignored.

"Tacit knowledge" means "we know more than what we can express and formulate". For a long time, the "tacit knowledge" of workers is hard to find, but it plays a huge role. The advantage of "tacit knowledge" is that it comes from a specific situation rather than a general situation, so it can judge the causes of specific problems in the labor process more quickly and directly and find solutions. This characteristic, which originates from a specific situation and is inseparable from human intuition and judgment, makes the rider’s labor process unable to be simplified into "rules, regulations and formulas" according to the requirements of scientific management. The process of using "tacit knowledge" is precisely the process of combining hands and brains. Therefore, food delivery will not make takeaway riders stupid, but will make them "gain certain growth": "It has not only changed the situation in my family, but also changed my life, and also changed my personality, making me a lot more mature and stable, and also become much stronger."

Simply put, the rider’s tacit knowledge in the process of food delivery is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the brain map, second, the situational experience and third, the communication skills.

The first is the "brain map". Most riders’ distribution route planning recommended by the external selling platform App has experienced a transition from full compliance to independent planning. At the beginning of food delivery, new riders will deliver food in strict accordance with the delivery route recommended by the takeaway platform App because they are unfamiliar with the food delivery process, area and time. But when they are familiar with it, they will deliver food according to the distribution route accumulated in their own minds, because they know how to plan the distribution route faster: "We started to deliver food according to the systematic planning, and after three months of familiarity, we followed the planned route in our brains."

Followed by "situational experience." Riders can make good judgments on specific situations because they repeatedly deal with people and things in the process of delivering food, which enables them to continuously accumulate various typical "situational experiences". This kind of experience, like the "brain map" and the "communication skills" mentioned later, can’t be clearly expressed, but they all play a key role: "We will encounter all kinds of problems in the process of delivering food. For example, if some merchants are slow to deliver food, you can take it from other homes first, or the customers are close. It is ok for me to deliver it to him in a few minutes and then come back to pick up his meals."

Finally, there is "communication skills". Riders need to practice superb communication skills, because one of the skills they use most in the process of food delivery is communication, such as communication with the front desk of merchants, communication with security guards at the entrance of supermarkets and communities, and communication with customers. Good communication can not only improve the efficiency of food delivery, but also get favorable service comments: "Because it is a service industry, it is better to communicate with guests. If you have a bad temper, it is easy to have language disputes with guests … If you don’t communicate well, you will definitely be complained. Communication in our business is more important than food delivery. "

Therefore, from the perspective of using "tacit knowledge" in the process of food delivery, that is, the combination of hand and brain is needed in the work, the delivery of take-away food is not "de-skilled". Good communication with merchants/security guards/customers, human brain planning of distribution routes, and "situational experience" needed in each link of meal taking/delivery all require takeaway riders to use their hands and brains and make good use of the "tacit knowledge" they have accumulated in their work. The cognitive ability of riders has not deteriorated at work, and they have not become "more and more stupid".

The factory that can’t go back and the desire of "complete workers"

During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2022, Zhang Xinghai, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Xiaokang Group, said that in recent years, industries such as take-away, e-commerce and webcasting have attracted a large number of young people to find jobs; Express delivery and take-away industry "involution" to graduate students to compete; Young people are no longer willing to go to work in factories, which leads to the increasingly serious problem of hollowing out industrial workers. Zhang Xinghai suggested that the government, enterprises and all walks of life should make joint efforts to encourage young people to become industrial workers, so as to alleviate the difficulties in recruiting and employing workers in the manufacturing industry. However, the main reason why riders are unwilling to enter the factory and are willing to deliver takeout is that the delivery of takeout is not "unskilled" compared with factory workers, but requires them to use their hands and brains.

While there is a "blowout" of employment on various Internet platforms, the traditional manufacturing industry is indeed experiencing a "labor shortage". Cao Dewang, the founder of Fuyao Group, also expressed his feelings for this: "Nowadays, young people would rather send takeout than go to work in a factory. This is the current dilemma facing the manufacturing industry." In this regard, Professor Wen Xiaoyi of China Institute of Labor Relations pointed out: "In the past, young and middle-aged laborers who were active in factory production lines are constantly moving from offline to online, which has made great changes in China’s economic structure and situation. In the past, going to work in coastal factories was the first choice for countless young people to realize their urban dreams. Nowadays, sending express delivery and take-away in big cities is becoming a career priority. "

For the phenomenon that young people "prefer to take delivery rather than go to work in factories", most studies take the high salary return of the platform economy and the strict management of the manufacturing industry as the main reasons. Indeed, the income return of takeaway riders is no less than that of traditional manufacturing. It is reported that most workers in factories in coastal areas earn 4,000-8,000 yuan a month. In contrast, riders can get 7000-8000 yuan per month, and many people can even exceed 10,000 yuan. More importantly, although it is equally hard, being a takeaway rider is rarely controlled, more free, and can also take time off: "The factory is too strict and has no rest. Except for legal holidays, the state can’t deduct (punish) it, so I will give you a day off. It’s more than 6 thousand yuan a month, which is similar to here. But in comparison, it is free here. "

The "local workers" described by Marx may be the original prototype of "de-skill", that is, "workers who have been engaged in the same simple operation all their lives turn their whole bodies into automatic one-sided organs of this operation". The production line invented by Henry Ford shows more intuitively that modern factories no longer need the "whole body" of workers, but "one-sided organs". The design principle of the assembly line invented by Ford is to "arrange tools and people according to working procedures so as to complete the assembly of spare parts in the shortest possible time". Obviously, people are reduced to tool-like existence on the assembly line. Therefore, the workers on the assembly line will inevitably encounter the problem of hand-brain separation and the cognitive degradation caused by it.

However, Marx also pointed out that "conscious life activities directly distinguish people from animal life activities" when distinguishing people from animals. The difference between people and animals lies in that people can engage in free and conscious conscious activities, and the difference between people and tools lies in that people have valuable cognitive and creative abilities. Therefore, people are more willing to take delivery than those jobs that make people stupid on the assembly line, precisely because people naturally want to use their hands and brains at work. Because of the existence of "tacit knowledge", delivery can make riders feel that they are "complete workers" rather than "one-sided organs" than entering the factory. This may also be the reason why riders feel "freedom" at work.

Although the take-away rider does not really face the dilemma of "de-skill", it is undeniable that the rider engaged in take-away distribution may not have high academic qualifications and high skills. According to the results of the ninth survey on the status of the national workforce released by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the academic qualifications of couriers and take-away distributors are concentrated in high school and below. It is not difficult to find out from the employment report of Meituan riders during the epidemic period released by Meituan that the ranking of riders’ sources from high to low is factory workers, salespeople, entrepreneurs or self-employed small businesses or catering industry employees. Among them, factory workers, salespeople, and catering employees may also be low-skilled workers. How to let more people accumulate "tacit knowledge" in their work, show free and conscious labor and realize the coordinated development of man and machine is the key issue in the era of artificial intelligence.

Drugs combined with "gene magic scissors" can strangle HIV

  Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, July 2 (Reporter Zhang Mengran) According to a study published in the British journal Nature Communication on the 2nd, the American research team reported a new breakthrough in combination therapy: after using a drug delivery system to continuously release antiviral drugs and treating based on the gene editing technology known as "gene magic scissors", the virus was not detected in a subgroup of mice infected with HIV.

  A total of 13 mice were treated in two separate trials, and 5 of them showed no signs of HIV infection for up to 5 weeks after treatment. In contrast, it is easy to detect HIV in mice that have received one of these treatments alone.

  HIV is a virus that causes defects in human immune system. HIV directly invades the human immune system, destroying cellular immunity and humoral immunity, which not only makes it difficult for the human immune system to resist invasion, but also brings difficulties to the development of specific therapeutic drugs and preventive vaccines. At present, patients infected with HIV mainly rely on various antiviral drugs for treatment. However, this therapy can’t cure the patient, and it requires lifelong medication.

  In view of this, the Lewis Katz School of Medicine of Temple University and the University of Nebraska Medical Center team developed a combination therapy to target HIV in a group of infected mice. The therapy relies on an antiviral drug formula and CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The former will slowly release the drug and inhibit the virus activity for many days, while the latter will eliminate the virus genetic code in infected cells by cutting off the relevant DNA fragments.

  After continuous treatment, nearly one-third of the mice did not reach the detectable level of HIV. The research team used a large number of different techniques to study mice and found that HIV was not detected in infected cells and tissue sites of these mice within 5 weeks after receiving treatment.

  At present, the results of mouse experiments are considered promising, and researchers plan to carry out further research immediately to improve drug delivery against viruses and specifically eliminate latent viral infections.

  Chief editor circle

  Curing AIDS was a difficult problem without rules 10 years ago. Now, with the simplification of genetic engineering technology, many promising ideas have emerged. For example, defects caused by microorganisms are corrected with tools given by another microorganism. Although CRISPR has been popular for many years, the corresponding gene editing therapy that can be used in clinic is still in its infancy. The progress made in the field of AIDS has made people more confident in this simple technology with great potential.

Dish Fairy is expected to rank among the top five domestic horror movies at the box office if it breaks 30 million yuan.


1905 movie network news Directed by Lian Tao and starring Crystal and Fan Yichen, the box office has exceeded 30 million yuan since it was released on June 21st.On June 28th, a Marvel Comics blockbuster was released, and 50% of the films were divided on the same day, posing a threat to other films that have already been released. However, in the past two days of the weekend, the box office of "Disc Fairy" has been attacked. On June 29th, the number of people watching movies reached 147,000, and on June 30th, the number of people watching movies reached 115,000, both of which were the champions of domestic films in the same period!


Especially on June 29th, Disc Fairy ranked fourth in the single-day box office. You know, when Disc Fairy was first released, strong films gathered, which made it only ninth in the single-day box office on its opening day. However, in the second week, with the heavy introduction of blockbusters, the single-day box office ranking of "Disc Fairy" did not drop, but rose, rising to the fourth place step by step.

Judging from the weekend’s performance, "Disc Fairy" ranks first in the domestic films of the same period in terms of attendance, attendance, average number of people per game and box office! At present, it is already the champion of domestic horror films in 2019, which is five times the box office of the second place, even higher than the sum of all domestic horror films that have been released this year!

In the box office list of horror films in China film history, Disc Fairy has also occupied a place. It is currently ranked sixth, and as long as it can maintain this high-speed rising momentum, when the box office exceeds 35 million, it is expected to rank among the TOP5 domestic horror film box office list.

Some netizens summed up that domestic horror movies are always inseparable from the scary "three axes": turning around and encountering ghosts, waking up and dreaming, looking for children. A website once conducted a survey on "Why domestic horror movies don’t scare you", and 70% of the audience thought that "the plot insulted IQ, and they wanted to laugh after watching it"; 50% people think that "creation is limited and many terrorist elements cannot be expressed"; And 41% of the audience think that "the performance is poor, and it is not scary to scream by beautiful women."

Crystal plays a late-night live female anchor and a single mother in the film. After she and her daughter moved into a rented house, her daughter accidentally and inexplicably triggered the mechanism in the room, so the mother and daughter suffered a series of mysterious and strange events … …Different from ordinary domestic horror films, Disc Fairy has an unexpected reversal at the end of the film, leaving the audience with room for imagination. Horror movies don’t just have to be scary, but they can give the audience a space for aftertaste and "fear" on the psychological level, which is the characteristic that an excellent horror movie should have.


Cracking down on illegal Internet transactions Yunnan Forest Police confiscated 1927 ivory products.

  Cctv newsFrom January to May this year, the Forest Public Security Bureau of Yunnan Province and the Forest Public Security Bureau of the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau cracked a number of serious cases of illegal acquisition, transportation and sale of rare and endangered wildlife products in the "Spring Thunder Action 2018" special crackdown. On June 21, the bureau made a news briefing on several typical cases and related situations.

  Since the case was filed for investigation in November 2017, the forest public security organs of Honghe Prefecture have cracked the "11.03" project after eight months of continuous operations, arrested 17 suspects and seized 764 wild animal products such as ivory products and rhinoceros horn products, including 332 ivory products of Asian elephants and African elephants. The main suspect in this case, Mo Mou, is a college student studying abroad. He developed domestic sales channels through his classmates, took advantage of the convenience of studying abroad and the lack of local laws to protect wild animals and their products, purchased some small-scale wild animal products overseas, smuggled them into the country from the border lanes, and used the loopholes in the management of domestic logistics to send them to all parts of the country for sale, thus making a profit. Another major suspect, Li Moumou, is a classmate of Mo Mou. After becoming an offline seller, Li posted sales information through the webcast platform, and then purchased and delivered through Mo Mou to complete the transaction.

  In May this year, the mobile detachment directly under the Provincial Forest Public Security Bureau moved to Guangxi, Chongqing, Xinjiang and other places, and cracked the "4.10" project, and seized 2 gibbons, 3 macaques and 5 suspects. The suspect, Jiang, released video information about selling wild animals through public short video platforms such as Tik Tok and Volcano Video. After private talks, he spent many years in his home in a border city in Guangxi, and delivered live wild animals through logistics to complete the sale.

  The Criminal Investigation Detachment of Yunnan Forest Public Security Bureau cracked the "4.12" case of illegal acquisition, transportation and sale of precious and endangered wild animals, arrested five criminal suspects, and seized a number of wild animal and plant products, such as Asian elephant hide, ivory products and rhinoceros horn products of Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

The taste of Chinese restaurants in Britain has changed from the traditional Cantonese flavor to the Hong Kong flavor. Especially in China City, the center of London, there are hundreds of very good Chinese restaurants, all of which can basically cook authentic Cantonese food, as well as dazzling hot "Cantonese dim sum", and Cantonese-style porridge with different flavors is also available. Overseas Chinese food seems to have the right style.

Afternoon Tea, Tea Restaurant and Hong Kong Pavilion

Author: Zhou Songfang

After Chinese arrived in England, he was not used to the food itself, but also to the time and way of eating. Chinese gets up early and goes to bed early, and has three meals a day, but Britain gets up early and goes to bed late, and it is divided into four or five meals. Students are no exception, and international students can only do as the Romans do. Some international students wrote down the meal schedule at that time:

As a rule, I get up at about 7: 30, and have breakfast after 8: 00. The food is milk cereal, ham and eggs, bread jam, cheese and tea. The earliest class time starts at 9: 00, and it is customary for British people to have lunch around 1: 00 pm, so the latest class time in the morning is from 12: 00 to 1: 00. In the afternoon, classes are held from 2: 00 to 5: 00, and about 5: 00 is Teatime for English people. English tea is eaten regularly (from 4: 00 to 5: 00, it is called High Tea), and it must be accompanied by bread jam, milk oil, cake cheese and fruit. We regard it as a meal, or at least it should be called refreshment. In the past, this kind of habit was only used by middle-class families, but it has been popular in the general society in recent decades. Although the food materials are different, few people don’t eat tea. Self-study time for students after tea. Dinner is served at about 9 o’clock, and the food is usually simpler than lunch, probably a cold dish, bread and cream, cheese and fruit and a few biscuits. After dinner, you can talk freely, or read soft words, or listen to the radio and phonograph. The usual bedtime is around eleven o’clock.

From this point of view, English dinner is like our midnight snack, and afternoon tea is like our dinner, and it is also as important as us. There is a saying that can show this degree of attention: "English people are used to having tea at five o’clock in the afternoon as usual." A pot of black tea, two pieces of bread, a plate of snacks and a plate of lettuce. Sometimes add an egg or a small fish. " In Chinese’s view, it’s not grand, but in Britain, "it’s better to be a housewife, and guests must watch a movie or eat China rice as a reward". Invite you to have afternoon tea. You should invite her to a movie or even a China meal, just like inviting someone to a western meal on the beach in the early days. That’s simply too much! Mr. Zhu Ziqing also said:

Europeans eat three meals a day, and the weight is quite different. Like Germany, there is only coffee and bread in the morning and cold food in the evening, only lunch is heavier. In France, coffee, moon cake, lunch and dinner seem to be average in weight. Britain pays equal attention to breakfast and dinner, and its lunch is lighter. Britain pays attention to breakfast, just like Chengdu in China. There are porridge, ham and eggs, bread, tea, and sometimes salted fish and fruit. Lunch is simple, you can just eat a piece of toast and a cup of coffee; Some small restaurants sell lunch boxes, such as cold fish and meat, but no dinner boxes.

However, no matter how much attention is paid to rich afternoon tea, it is afternoon tea after all, and it can’t be compared with dinner or dinner. Therefore, Zhu Ziqing probably regarded China’s "little man" as a "gentleman" in Britain, and thought that they often treated people with cheap and simple afternoon tea instead of expensive dinners: British people drink tea once a day at about 4: 30 pm, with toast and butter. When you invite a tea party, there are naturally other things, such as ham with bread, raw pea seedlings with bread, tea steamed bread and so on. They attach great importance to afternoon tea, which is almost indispensable. You can take this opportunity to treat people, which is much simpler and cheaper than inviting dinner. He also said: English people prefer tea to coffee, contrary to French people; They can’t make coffee well either. Most of the tea we drink now is Indian tea; Although China tea is sold in the tea and rice shop, there are few customers. It certainly has something to do with not allowing the profits to spill over, but it is not conducive to the publicity of China tea (for example, it is not clean when fried), and the main reason is that the tea taste is too weak. Indian tea is thick and bitter, and milk and sugar are just right; China black tea is not strong enough, but it smells good. It is strange that the tea sold in the tea and rice shop is so light in color, smell and fragrance that it is inexplicable how that kind of tea can be shipped out. Actually, that’s right. Tea restaurants focus on rice, tea is not important, what is the taste? Just like drinking tea in Guangdong, it is important to eat, and the taste of tea is not counted; Also like the popular tea restaurant, who knows that it is not from tea restaurants?

Tea restaurants are everywhere in Britain, and they are relatively cheap, so when Zhu Ziqing visited Britain in May and June 1932, he had a lot of experience and many observation records:

There are three cheap tea restaurants: Lyons, Express Milk Room and ABC Bakery. Each family has opened many stores, all over the city and outside; ABC is less and more expensive, and Laaynes is the most. The fried veal, veal liver and braised duck pieces in the express dairy are also delicious; They burn duck pieces with charcoal fire, so it has a China flavor. ABC fried beef liver can also be eaten, but it’s almost impossible to get old in a hurry; The dim sum is well baked, and several of them are comparable to the French bakery in Beiping. There doesn’t seem to be anything outstanding in Laaynes; But there are two "corner shops" in his house, both at the corner of downtown, but there are delicious foods there. The corner shop has two large rooms, one is upper and lower, and the other is three floors and three large rooms, which can accommodate about 1,500 people. There is a band playing in the evening. As soon as I entered, I saw it was dark and full of people. The corridor was narrow enough, but the weather was quite wide (a British student ridiculed it as "the palace of the poor", which might be good); There, I often find and stand for a long time before waiting for an empty seat. All the stores in these three stores use waitresses, but only two corner stores use some waiters-waiters are more expensive. The waiters and waitresses all wore black uniforms, and the women even wore white hats to entertain the guests in layers. Only in corner shops do you have to tip (although the door is marked "no tip"), and there is no need to tip in these three shops elsewhere. I have been to a corner shop, and the roast chicken is still delicious; But a chicken leg is one yuan and fifty cents in China, and it is more expensive to eat chicken wings. Tea restaurants sometimes have dominoes, etc. for guests’ entertainment, but they rarely ask the waiter for fun; Where there are many guests,There are always people waiting for seats, so there is no need to prepare them. In addition, there is an oyster shop, which specializes in oysters and is not cheap; A landlady told me that it was "unsanitary", but there were no fewer people to eat. Eating oysters is not suitable in summer, so the British say that oysters are out of order if the name of the month is not "R" (May, June, July and August).

Through observation, Zhu Ziqing believes that tea restaurants are the true colors and can represent British cooking: "Old city restaurants and tea restaurants are the local flavors. Tea restaurant and frying shop are actually nicknames for small restaurants. The’ rice’ in the tea restaurant originally refers to lunch, but the things sold are not simple, and dinner is full; In addition to frying beef ribs and mutton ribs, the frying shop also sells other things. " There is a kind of sweet sesame cake (Muffin) and Crumpet in the tea and rice shop, which makes Zhu Ziqing never forget:

Sweet sesame seed cake is like our fire, but it has no stuffing, soft and slightly sweet, as if it were made with rice flour. There are many small nests on the cake surface, which are like beehives, relatively thin and like rice noodles. Both of them are about from France; But the sweet biscuits came early, at least 200 years ago. Chefs mostly live in Drury Lane, the place where the famous theater is located. I used to sell it with a plate on my head and a bell in my hand. At that time, people loved to eat, bought them, spread more butter on them, and baked them on the fireplace in the living room or dining room, so that the oil could be soaked in them and bitten off in one bite, or they would get stuck in the quarrel on both sides. This kind of leisure life is very interesting. However, the later Woer cakes were easier to soak in oil, more fragrant, not too thick, too soft, chewy and stylish; People like it gradually, so they buy less sweet biscuits. A lady was sad when she saw this situation, so she wrote to The Times to express her grievances for the sweet biscuits. The Times specially made a small editorial to persuade people to eat sweet biscuits to preserve the ancient style. However, I would rather keep the bad things that the lady said about Woer’s cakes. About that commentator also likes to eat Woer’s cakes.

This kind of English tea restaurant is quite similar to the tea restaurant that rose in Hong Kong later. I wonder if there is any origin between the two, and if so, what kind of origin? Although there are no more materials to explain at present, it is quite intriguing; The influence of Hong Kong diet on Britain increased day by day.

Due to the blockade of the newly established People’s Republic of China (PRC) by the western world, the number of overseas Chinese dropped sharply after 1950s, and it didn’t pick up until 1980s after China’s opening-up and reform. Therefore, the development of overseas Chinese restaurants over the past 30 years has formed a relatively unique form. In 1936, there were more than 8,000 overseas Chinese in Britain, and by 1955, there were only more than 4,000 overseas Chinese, a decrease of half. However, with the influence of the ultra-left trend in the mainland in the 1960s, Hong Kong immigrants joined in one after another, rising to 43,000 in 1971, more than 100,000 in 1981 after the reform and opening up, and reaching 150,000 in the mid-1990s. The same is true of Germany. In the 1930s, there were only over 800 people, and by 1991, there were over 50,000 people. Among them, at the end of December 1986, the Federal Statistical Office of West Germany announced that there were 7730 people from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia who went to Germany to run restaurants.

With the increasing number of overseas Chinese, the number of Chinese restaurants has increased even faster, because the early overseas Chinese had a low starting point and it was difficult to accumulate the original capital for opening restaurants, which was much easier to open than the later immigrants, especially those from Hong Kong. Take Britain as an example. In 1940, there were about 30 Chinese restaurants in Britain, but after the 1950s, 150 Chinese restaurants were opened every year. By the end of 1960s, there were 3,000 Chinese restaurants in Britain. According to its basic composition, the overseas Chinese who were the first to invest in the British Chinese food industry after the war can be divided into the following three categories: the first category is the staff of the former national government in Britain. After Britain recognized People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1950, they made a living and mostly invested in the Chinese food industry; The second category is Chinese immigrants from the former British colonies; The third category is immigrants from Hong Kong, especially the New Territories, who are the most successful. According to a survey, from June 1963 to April 1964, of the 150-200 Chinese restaurants in London, only four were run by overseas Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia, and the rest were run by Hong Kong people. As most of the practitioners come from Hong Kong, Cantonese cuisine is the main dish. In his book "American Overseas Chinese Restaurant Industry" published in 1970, Dr. Chen Benchang said that there were 100,000 overseas Chinese and about 6,000 Chinese restaurants in Britain at that time, and particularly emphasized that "90% of the owners and employees were visitors from the New Territories of Hong Kong in recent years".

Since then, the taste of Chinese restaurants in Britain has changed from the traditional Cantonese flavor to the Hong Kong flavor. Even in the provinces and ports, "food in Hong Kong" has gradually surpassed "food in Guangzhou". Thanks to the contribution of Hong Kong people, China restaurants in Britain finally got rid of the suspicion of chop suey and surpassed American chop suey. When a scholar went to Harvard University in the United States to attend a short course one year, the school took good care of them and arranged for them to eat in a Chinese restaurant called Dashenglou. For twenty days in a row, there were only a few dishes, and there was no change. Almost all the dishes were sweet and creamy, and there were still many fried foods. There was absolutely no hot soup. Everyone had a large glass of cold ice water, which really hurt people and ate them every day. Relatively speaking, Chinese food in London is very delicious, especially in China City, the center of London, where there are hundreds of very good Chinese restaurants, all of which can basically cook authentic Cantonese food, dazzling hot "Cantonese dim sum" and Cantonese-style porridge with different flavors. Because of the development of the catering industry and the status of Hong Kong practitioners, a restaurant owner named Deng Zhuting from the New Territories of Hong Kong was also honored as the president of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce in London and the overseas consultant of the China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, and was invited to attend the National Day ceremony in Beijing many times. Overseas Chinese food seems to have the right style.

In addition, in the process of independence, a large number of Chinese immigrants from British colonies in Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, brought with them the flavor of Southeast Asia, adding to the charm of London Chinatown. Although the number of overseas Chinese in London Chinatown decreased from 1,000 to 200 in 1946, it did not prevent it from becoming a block where tourists concentrated again, because small restaurants with cheap and delicious Southeast Asian flavor "chicken with Chili sauce and China food, can attract customers the most".

brief Introduction of the content

Since the Opium War, the western powers have knocked on the door of China with their guns. Since then, the trend of western learning spreading to the east has prevailed. From science and technology to ideology and culture, China has played a learner everywhere, and even admired others. In the history of communication between China and foreign countries for nearly a hundred years, only one item, "Chinese cuisine", spread from the east to all parts of the world with the pace of Chinese’s learning from the west, and staged a unique drama with oriental flavor flowing from east to west.

This book traces its roots and combs the unique course of the spread and development of Chinese cuisine in the western world since modern times. The anecdotes from the popularity of Li Hongzhang chop suey in the United States to the Flower House in Paris, from the unique flavor of the Mariner’s Pavilion in London to the historical change of "Eating in Saigon" in Vietnam, lead readers to relive the "Journey to the West" of Chinese cuisine, led by Cantonese cuisine.

This book is a history of food traveling to the west, which reflects all aspects of life history, social history and political history. It is full of interest and historical significance.
