Editor's Note: Everything that happened in the "two sessions" has attracted considerable attention. Let's take a review.


1. Voices at "two sessions" bring fresh ideas to common prosperity


Lawmakers and political advisors pooled wisdom on achieving common prosperity at the ongoing "two sessions."


Zhang Tianren, a national lawmaker from Xinchuan, a mountainous village in China's eastern province of Zhejiang, said the village almost missed an opportunity to boost their fruit industry due to fund shortages. However, with the incorporation of a shareholder mode -- a bright spot of Zhejiang's pursuit of common prosperity by inviting villagers to become shareholders and gain dividends -- the opportunity was able to bear fruit.


By establishing companies and inviting local villagers to invest, the village has built a production base for the "diaogua," a locally produced melon-like fruit, which is expected to bring 1.2 million yuan (about 190,000 U.S. dollars) of annual revenue, said Zhang, the village's Party chief and the president of Tianneng Co., Ltd.


2. NPC deputies bring better livelihood to rural residents


To push forward all-around rural vitalization has been made a focus of China's work related to agriculture, rural areas, and rural residents after the country has secured a complete victory in its fight against poverty. Therefore, all-around rural vitalization was a hotspot topic during this year's "two sessions," the annual meetings of China's top legislature and political advisory body. Many deputies have shared their ideas on how to better promote rural vitalization based on their first-hand work experience, as well as the results of their field surveys.


Zhang Yan, director and researcher of the soil research department of the Tieling Academy of Agricultural Sciences, northeast China's Liaoning province, is a deputy to the 13th National People's Congress (NPC). Over the past years, she has proposed over 20 motions and suggestions on-farm produce quality safety, food security, conservative farming of black soil in northeast China and many other issues.


3. Smart logistics zone realizes carbon neutrality in NW China


The "Asia No.1" smart logistics center in Xi'an, run by China's online retailer giant JD.com, realized carbon neutrality in 2021.


The 100,000 square meters of photovoltaic power generation equipment, covering the warehouse roof, supports the operation of the logistics center, according to JD.com. The green power serves the automation equipment of the center and charges the electric vehicles during the daytime. At night, the energy storage devices can release the green electricity which has been stored during the daytime to meet the peak demand.


The package sorting and picking robots can operate without the light, said Duan Yanjian from JD Logistics, adding that they can save 2,283 kWh per minute, roughly equivalent to the electricity consumption of an average household within one and a half years.


4. Chinese manufacturer unveils new generation of commercial maglev train


Chinese manufacturer CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd. said Thursday that tests have been completed for its next generation of commercial maglev train.


The train, with a designed speed of 200 km per hour, has achieved multiple tech breakthroughs such as unmanned driving and non-contact power supply, said Zhang Wenyue, deputy head of CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive's maglev research institute.


Compared with the previous generations of commercial maglev trains, the new model shows significantly improved traction efficiency, hill-climbing ability, and acceleration performance, according to the company.


5. China to carry out phase-4 lunar exploration missions before 2030


The fourth phase of the country's lunar exploration program has been approved at the end of 2021 and entered the implementation stage, said Wu Weiren, chief designer of China's lunar exploration program.


The fourth phase of the program will be carried out in three steps, namely the Chang'e-6, -7, and -8 missions before 2030, according to Wu, who's also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top political advisory body.


The major goal of the phase-4 lunar program is to carry out scientific exploration at the lunar south pole in pursuit of building a basic structure of a lunar research station in the region, Wu introduced.
