　　Recently, two local conferences have been held one after another. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power. This year’s local two conferences attached great importance to the construction of ecological civilization, consciously implemented the concept of green development, and put forward the tasks of fighting a tough battle against pollution and implementing the reform of the ecological civilization system.

　　As of January 30, the two sessions in 31 provinces have been held, and there are many highlights in the work deployment in various places. From carrying out the concept of green development to carrying out the task of reforming the ecological civilization system, from fighting a tough battle against pollution to carrying out major ecological restoration projects, all provinces attach great importance to the construction of ecological civilization despite their different resource endowments.

　　What green development signals have been revealed by the local two conferences this year? What key tasks are worth looking forward to?

　　Development emphasizes high-quality, green and low-carbon circular development, and the economic system is gradually improved

　　In this year’s local two conferences, many places emphasized "high-quality development" when deploying their work. Some provinces played down GDP growth targets and paid more attention to ecological and environmental protection and other important indicators that reflect the quality of development.

　　Shanxi adjusted the GDP growth rate, but the requirements for binding indicators were not relaxed: the energy consumption per 10,000 yuan GDP decreased by 3.2%, the carbon dioxide emissions per 10,000 yuan GDP decreased by 3.9%, and the water consumption per 10,000 yuan GDP decreased by 3.9%. Chongqing plans to implement dual control actions of energy, water resources, total amount and intensity of construction land. Xinjiang implements the new development concept, promotes high-quality economic development and strives to build a beautiful Xinjiang. Fujian will focus on green development, promote green technology innovation, expand green industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection, and increase the consumption proportion of clean energy and renewable energy.

　　The economic system of green and low-carbon circular development is also gradually improving. Guangdong will optimize the energy structure, implement the management of coal reduction in the Pearl River Delta, and vigorously develop clean energy such as wind energy, solar energy and nuclear energy. Chongqing will promote the green transformation of industrial development, establish and improve a green and low-carbon circular development economic system, and expand energy-saving and environmental protection, clean production and clean energy industries. Anhui will strengthen energy-saving and environmental protection industrial clusters, integrate the concept of "ecology+"into industrial development, and form a spatial pattern, industrial structure and production mode that saves resources and protects the environment.

　　In this regard, Li Zuojun, deputy director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center, said that green development is an inherent part of high-quality development, which is reflected in two aspects: on the one hand, high-quality development should meet people’s needs for a better life, including the need for a beautiful ecological environment, which depends on green development; On the other hand, high-quality development requires less resource and energy consumption and environmental damage to achieve economic development. "This year, some places downplayed GDP indicators, which has multiple reasons: there are both the policy orientation of the central government, the realistic constraints of local economic development, and the consideration of green development."

　　Pollution prevention and control, air, water and soil control work together.

　　Fighting a tough battle against pollution has been repeatedly mentioned in the local two sessions. Many provinces have put forward specific measures and objectives and tasks for pollution prevention and control.

　　After the first phase of "Atmosphere Ten" ended, some provinces are formulating and implementing a new round of air pollution prevention and control action plan. Beijing said that it is determined to fight the blue sky defense war, and the prevention and control of air pollution will change from "structural emission reduction" to "connotative emission reduction". Liaoning will do a good job in the rectification and implementation of the central environmental protection inspector and the national marine inspector, and continue to fight the blue sky defense war. Shandong continued to implement air pollution prevention and control actions, actively carried out joint prevention and control of air pollution in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and surrounding areas, accelerated the control of loose coal pollution, and carried out the actions of replacing coal with electricity and gas in a safe and orderly manner. Hunan issued an action plan to implement the blue sky defense war, focusing on winning the blue sky defense war in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan.

　　In terms of water pollution prevention and control, Jiangsu has further implemented the ecological river and lake action plan, implemented the river length system and the lake length system, promoted pollution control in the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Taihu Lake basins and coastal waters, eliminated the V-class section that failed the national examination, completed the remediation of centralized drinking water sources at or above the county level, and accelerated the treatment of urban black and odorous water bodies. Hainan said that it is necessary to ensure that all the polluted water bodies in inland rivers and lakes in 64 towns meet the standards, and the excellent water quality rate of major rivers and lakes is not less than 95%. Yunnan has strengthened ecosystem restoration and comprehensive environmental management in key river basins, actively participated in the construction of green ecological corridors in the Yangtze River, promoted the rescue protection of Erhai Lake, and strengthened the protection and management of nine plateau lakes such as Dianchi Lake and Fuxian Lake. Guangxi has continued to implement the management of Jiuzhou River, Nanliu River and Xialei River basins, strengthened the protection of marine environment, and strengthened the management of agricultural non-point source pollution and urban black and odorous water bodies. Sichuan has fully implemented the system of river length and lake length, and intensified the rectification of major rivers such as Tuojiang River and Minjiang River and 24 seriously polluted small watersheds.

　　In terms of soil pollution prevention and control, Hunan has implemented 62 key projects for soil pollution prevention and control, carried out farmland restoration and crop planting structure adjustment in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, and increased the protection of ecological green centers in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan urban agglomerations. Inner Mongolia stepped up efforts to prevent and control soil pollution and reduce heavy metal emissions, rectified the environment of industrial parks, and withdrew from industrial and mining enterprises in nature reserves in an orderly manner according to law.

　　Li Zuojun said, "Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, local governments have taken the three major battles as the key tasks at present and in the future. As far as the battle of pollution prevention and control is concerned, it has some new features compared with the past: First, it has paid more attention to it and is more advanced in the work ranking; Second, the work is more practical, that is, it is implemented with tangible actions; Third, it is more targeted, that is, according to the local actual situation, the focus of the promotion is different. Although the "Atmosphere Ten", "Water Ten" and "Soil Ten" have been launched in sequence, local governments attach great importance to it. For example, in the prevention and control of water pollution, every river and lake has a special person in charge.

　　Compacting and compacting various tasks, the reform of ecological civilization system has been continuously promoted.

　　Audit of natural resources assets leaving office, environmental protection tax and compensation system for ecological environment damage & HELIP; … A number of systems promulgated by the state to deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system are being refined and implemented in various places.

　　Chongqing said that it is necessary to reform the ecological environment supervision system, improve the system of ecological civilization system, strengthen performance evaluation and accountability, and form an environmental governance system with the government as the leading factor, enterprises as the main body, social organizations and the public as the participants.

　　Yunnan will start the reform of the compensation system for ecological environment damage and comprehensively promote the audit of natural resources assets of leading cadres.

　　Zhejiang will speed up the reform of environmental monitoring, supervision and law enforcement system, comprehensively carry out the outgoing audit of natural resources assets, establish and improve the reward and punishment mechanism for environmental protection and the financial reward and compensation mechanism for green development, and establish and improve the trading system of energy use rights based on energy consumption per unit of GDP.

　　Ningxia should strictly implement the spatial planning, formulate the implementation supervision and assessment methods, complete the demarcation and demarcation of the red line of ecological environmental protection, issue the "three zones and three lines" management and control rules, establish and improve the market-oriented and diversified ecological compensation mechanism, earnestly strengthen the environmental protection supervision and assessment, and severely punish acts that damage the ecological environment according to law.

　　According to the actual work, many places have listed a "green list" that conforms to the provincial conditions.

　　Fujian, as a national ecological civilization experimental zone, indicated that it would speed up the construction of the national ecological civilization experimental zone and complete four annual reform tasks.

　　Xinjiang started to implement the plan of recuperation of cultivated land, grassland, rivers and lakes, strengthened the construction of ecological barriers in key areas such as sandstorm source areas, vigorously implemented two million mu of ecological control and greening projects for sand control in Aksu, and strived to build an ecological security barrier.

　　In 2017, Hoh Xil in Qinghai successfully declared the World Natural Heritage, and the pilot project of Sanjiangyuan National Park system progressed smoothly. In 2018, Qinghai will implement and deepen the reform of the ecological civilization system such as the management of state-owned natural resources assets.

　　Li Zuojun believes that system construction and system reform are the most fundamental measures for green development, and the 13th Five-Year Plan also emphasizes the need to use systems to protect the environment. "Whether it is pollution control or efficient use of resources and energy, it depends on the behavior of all subjects, and the guidance of each subject’s behavior depends on the system. It is commendable that the current reform of the ecological civilization system is constantly moving forward, especially the implementation of environmental protection inspectors and other systems has achieved remarkable results. At the same time, the property rights system of natural resources assets and the trading system of carbon emission rights are being accelerated and improved, and these systems will continue to play a role for a long time. "

A freshman has just received accommodation equipment and stepped into the dormitory.

At the beginning of the new school year, the number of express delivery sites on campus has increased, and many freshmen buy school equipment online.

　　Tmall big data platform shows that mobile phones, computers and tablets have become the "old three kinds" of college freshmen’s entrance equipment, and in 2019, college students added "new three kinds" to their school bags — — Electronic book, massager, balance car.

　　In those days, the generation who went to the university campus with big packages on their backs mostly contained necessities, such as clothes, bedding, rice bowls, washbasins, kettles and enamel jars, leaving some places full of books. Today’s "post-00" college students bring fashion consumer goods to school. In recent years, college students’ entrance equipment has undergone great changes, not only the equipment has changed, but also the luggage they have reported to the school is simple, and "sending" and "arriving empty-handed" have become new fashions, which reflect the changes of fashion.

　　Change: Two Generations’ Way to School

　　In recent days, the little brother who delivered the courier for Tianjin Foreign Studies University has been very busy, which is more than 30% more than that on weekdays. As the school registration date approaches, the courier volume is still increasing. In his observation, many names are seen for the first time, and the telephone number is also a foreign number. Brother told reporters: "With years of experience, these are the express mails of freshmen. Many freshmen are often people who have not yet arrived in Tianjin, but the express delivery has arrived first."

　　It is not unusual to buy equipment before school starts. It was like this in the past and it is still like this now, but what to prepare and how to prepare it are worlds apart.

　　According to Meng Fanwei, a citizen, "In 1991, I went to Heilongjiang to go to college. My mother couldn’t sit still for the first time. This summer, she was completely immersed in needlework, making quilts, cotton jackets and cotton trousers for me, for fear that I would freeze in the northeast." He clearly remembers that due to his thin body, when boarding the train, he was almost dropped by the big quilt behind him. In addition to heavy quilts and cotton-padded clothes, the dry food along the way is also full. "I remember that eating children’s intestines was just popular at that time. My mother bought me a large handful, cooked tea eggs, prepared lunch meat and wrapped it in a big cake." Mr. Meng recalled, "My mother kept nagging when I left the house. You said how good it was to apply for a local university and had to run so far, which made me miss it." While talking, my mother’s tears came down. "At that time, there was no such convenient communication equipment. When I arrived in Qiqihar, I quickly found a public phone to report my safety at home. The phone had to be transferred to my father’s unit." Mr. Meng said.

　　He further explained that compared with his brother who went to college in 1988, his equipment had been upgraded, but that upgrade was still a supplement to basic life; Nowadays, college students’ equipment has surpassed the basic needs of life and turned into the vane of market consumption trend.

　　In 2019, 28 years later, Meng Fanwei’s daughter will go to Anhui to study. Near the beginning of school, Mr. Meng urged his daughter to prepare her bags quickly, and her daughter said impatiently, "What’s the hurry?" Just hold your horses, I have my own plans. " Before leaving, my daughter put some simple clothes and electronic equipment in her luggage case, and everything was waiting to be bought online after she arrived at school. Mr. Meng reminded his daughter to bring some Tianjin specialties to her roommates, so as to draw closer the friendship between classmates. I saw my daughter holding a mobile phone and saying, "I’m one step ahead of you, and everything has been arranged properly!" "

　　Mr. Meng said humorously, "To sum up my daughter’s experience of going to college in two words, that is, starting school ‘ Send ’ And empty-handed ‘ To ’ . I joked that she didn’t have any sense of ceremony when she traveled alone for the first time. "

　　There was no tears when I saw you off. My daughter patted vlog (video diary) along the way, recording what she saw and heard on her way to school. Jinan punched in! Qufu punches in! Punch in Bengbu! These short videos haven’t been enjoyed yet, and my daughter has arrived in Hefei from Tianjin. "We share our position at any time in the family group and can clearly see our daughter’s action track." Mr. Meng told reporters, "My wife and I gave our daughter more encouragement, praising her for being so successful on her first trip alone and being proud of her."

　　We are always talking about change, and the experience of two generations on their way to school is a very typical case. Children travel thousands of miles, and their mother’s affection has never changed. However, because the lifestyle has changed, when the children’s action trajectory is well known, when the children’s bags are getting easier and easier, and when the future college life is becoming more and more convenient, the pain of lovesickness has also become a kind of sweetness.

　　Upgrade: the speed is getting faster and faster

　　Different eras have different school equipment, and the memories spanning decades are really intriguing and worth pondering.

　　A backpack, a box and a net bag filled with thermos bottles, washbasins and rice bowls were the equipment of college students in the 1950s. In the 1960s, a pen, a change of clothes, and a large rice bowl were considered as the top editions of university equipment. By the end of 1970s, when the college entrance examination was resumed, pens, washbasins, bedding and enamel jars were still essential items for some time. Putting a pen in the pocket of the tunic suit was a symbol of that era, and some students with superior family conditions inherited a watch from their parents.

　　Guo Xiaoling, a citizen, and reporters recalled that she was admitted to the university in 1987. "Because she was admitted to the university successfully, my mother gave me the watch she was wearing. At that time, it seemed like a gift. " Ms. Guo talked about this watch, which is of extraordinary significance. It was bought by her father with the "private money" accumulated for many years. Because she was admitted to the university, her mother put this "heirloom" on her daughter’s wrist as soon as she was happy.

　　Ms. Guo said: "In addition to the necessary daily necessities, I have to take food stamps to report to school when I go to college. Because I am studying in Tianjin, I just need to bring Tianjin local food stamps, and those students from other places have to look around for national food stamps. By 1990, I had ‘ Half a car ’ Bicycles, my mother and I use them as needed. I remember that I didn’t have a bike of my own until I graduated from college. At that time, I bought a 24‘ from Tonglou Department Store. Kunche ’ 。”

　　Although the age is different, all university equipment is centered on the needs of life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the 1990s, especially after the new century, college students’ entrance equipment developed rapidly as if they were riding the "shenzhou spaceship".

　　From walkman to CD player, it will be updated in four or five years; From pager to mobile phone, it will be replaced in five or six years; From desktop computers to notebook computers, it is upgraded almost once a year; From a bank card to mobile phone scanning code payment, the way of spending money is also updated. Today’s college students, with smart phones in their hands, tablets on the tables, and the latest laptops, are shuttling between teaching buildings on the balance car and returning to the dormitory for a full-body massage to relax.

　　The entrance equipment is imprinted with the memory and emotion of several generations of college students. The starting point of these changes is that the people are rich in hand. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, at the beginning of the founding of New China, the per capita disposable income of Chinese residents was only 49.7 yuan. In the past 70 years, the income of urban and rural residents has increased substantially, and the consumption level of residents has improved significantly. By 2018, it has reached 28,228 yuan, which is nearly 60 times higher in real terms after deducting the price factor. At that time, the entrance equipment did not look advanced today, but at that time it was already the best in the family; Nowadays, before college students enter school, parents have already prepared the funds for purchasing equipment, and spending money is no longer stretched. This is change.

　　Idea: "single-plank bridge" becomes "overpass"

　　Material life is changing, and ideas are also changing with the times.

　　In the interview, the reporter saw that some students sat on the grass of the school playground and recorded their life scenes on the first day after arriving at school with drones. Other students said that in addition to studying in college, they should be fully armed, get their driver’s license as soon as possible, and let themselves go out of school to be an all-round player. Equipment upgrade, concept upgrade, what is college for? People who study in universities in different ages have different answers to this question.

　　At the beginning of the founding of New China, college students devoted themselves to the construction of new China. After the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977, those college students deeply understood the powerful force of "knowledge changing fate"; In the 1990s, people born after the reform and opening up went to college. These college students experienced the competition of "single-plank bridge" and learned that "the world is as big as the stage is". Today’s college students have already integrated their thoughts into the world. Studying in college means that life has entered the fast lane, and there will be overpasses in the future, and there will be more roads for them to choose from.

　　In the past 70 years, China’s higher education has been developing continuously. In 1952, colleges and universities across the country began to implement the national unified entrance examination, and a total of 66 thousand freshmen were admitted that year. In 1977, the college entrance examination was reopened, and 5.7 million candidates entered the examination room, with an admission rate of 4.8%. By this year, tens of millions of candidates across the country have taken the exam, more than 8.35 million candidates have entered universities, and the admission rate has reached more than 80%. Higher education has been popularized.

　　There will be doubts and criticisms about the upgrading of college students’ entrance equipment, and they think that college students should stick to the tradition of hard work and plain living and practise economy in entrance equipment. Times are different, and excellent traditions should be inherited and carried forward, but the optimization and upgrading made to adapt to the changes of the times is actually more worthy of encouragement. It is necessary to remind students that no matter how much we spend, we should do what we can according to our family situation, and we should not pay too much attention to the brands or fashions of consumer goods, but should pay more attention to their practicality and cost performance. Moreover, when entering the university gate, while enjoying a happy life, I have a sincere gratitude for painstakingly cultivating my parents. The society should also look at the changes of college students’ entrance equipment with an inclusive heart, from which we can feel the gratifying progress of our society and look forward to a better future!
