  How Do Chinese People Have Strong Solidarity?
  People’s Tribune
  Issue 45, 2020
  At a meeting commending role models in China’s fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out, “For thousands of years, the Chinese people have been world-renowned for their tenacity, strong solidarity, tough endurance, and brilliant creativity.” The national characteristics were formed in practice over its long history. Of them, solidarity is the profoundest and the most significant.
  The Chinese nation is a community of a shared future united through lengthy historical progress, forging a strong solidarity that bestows it with a high survival ability and development through exchanges and mingling. This national character has a deep historical and cultural background. It has been a source of strength for the Chinese people to confront external challenges, seek survival, development, and achieve victory.
  The Chinese culture boasts a long and illustrious history. The powerful spiritual strengths of the Chinese people are behind the achievements and make Chinese people who they are.
  The Chinese people seek inner peace and strength through their interaction with the outside world and their struggle for survival.
  Societies are unified by different cohesive forces. In comparison with Western societies which put emphasis on individual will, Chinese society holds collectivism in esteem. Chinese people also emphasize social value, and respect collective will.
  The tenacity and strength of the Chinese people is the reason behind the unity and solidarity of the Chinese people.
  Chinese Cities Make Concerted Efforts for Greater Prosperity
  Outlook Weekly

  The construction of the ChengduChongqing economic circle has made substantial progress this year. One of China’s national plans for integrated regional development, the economic circle in west China faces tough challenges ahead, which need to be addressed with concerted efforts.
  The Chengdu-Chongqing region lags behind the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions in terms of total economic outputs, infrastructure, industrial competitiveness, talents, capital, and other factors of production.
  The market force is far from sufficient in building the ChengduChongqing economic circle. Government support is needed. The lack of state-level major projects has been constraining development in Chengdu, Chongqing, and neighboring areas.   Given its unique conditions, the Chengdu-Chongqing region is an ideal hub for new major state-level projects, such as national laboratories, projects of military-civilian integration, regional medical centers, education centers, and innovation centers.
  A push from the national level has proven effective in boosting the development of world-class urban agglomerations. The same rule is expected to apply to the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.
  At the local level, governments in the region should set eyes on the regional development in making plans and give full play to unique local potential.
  A Path to Championship
  Global People
  Issue 19, 2020
  This is a story about victory and defeat, a story about inheritance, and a story about the nation and the times. This is Leap, a biographical sports film featuring the Chinese women’s volleyball team.
  The significance of the year 1978 to China is self-evident as the country initiated the policy of reform and opening-up that year. It was also an epic year for the Chinese women’s volleyball team. Lang Ping, the athlete-turned-coach who brought the Chinese national team to world top titles, made a dazzling appearance on the global sports arena as the lead spiker on the Chinese national team, challenging the then champion – the Japanese women’s team. A year later, the Chinese women’s volleyball team beat Japan and won the Asian championship; in 1981, it claimed its first major title in volleyball – the World Cup championship.
  Over more than 40 years, the women’s volleyball team has persevered over five consecutive championships to work toward renewing the legend.
  The topic of sports has been the soft underbelly of Chinese cinema. Leap cracked the conundrum by revolving around two protagonists and three games when unfolding the story in cinema. The two protagonists are Lang Ping starred by Gong Li, and another coach acted by Huang Bo. The three games are the 1981 World Cup, the 2008 Olympic Games, and the 2016 Olympic Games.
  The enchanting part of the film lies in its dexterity of recounting the two characters’ interaction over four decades through three games, and revealing inspiring never-give-up spirit the film intended to express.
  Caring for Mentally-Challenged Elderly People
  Minsheng Weekly
  Issue 20, 2020
  In 2019, the Alzheimer’s Disease International estimated that over 50 million people worldwide were suffering from dementia, and that number was expected to increase to 152 million by 2050.   Years ago, relevant institutions conducted a survey on over 100 directors heading nursing homes from more than 10 provinces across China. The survey asked them about the biggest difficulty in looking after the cognitively challenged elderly, and the most common response was mental degradation.
  It poses a major test for China’s elderly care system to properly take care of the cognitively challenged and disabled seniors. Many nursing homes do not know how to care for special needs patients. The problem behind this was the lack of professionals.
  A system should be put in place to ensure the needs of cognitively challenged elderly are attended to. Instead of building new nursing homes, it is more imperative to train skilled workers for these institutions. Apart from nurses, physicians specializing in geriatric medicine, nutritionists, psychologists, and rehabilitation therapists are in high demand.
  It is also necessary to roll out pilot programs that include long-term care for the elderly into the social security system. In the pilot programs, elderly people facing cognitive and physical challenges should all be included in social relief programs, regardless of their family’s financial conditions.
  In this way, the government creates a sense of security to all by ensuring people that when they need help, there is always a hand.
