Editor's note

  The ups and downs of 2020 have passed. This year we fight the epidemic together, and this year we fight against poverty.

Through 2020, we will experience together, persevere and struggle together. We encourage each other, warm each other, and comfort each other.

Ushering in the new year, our lives will open a new chapter, and our country will embark on a new journey.

At the moment the calendar turns over, we should look back at the past, and we also have reasons to look forward to the future.

In 2021, we are here waiting for you...

  2021 will come as scheduled.

  A hundred years ago, a group of young people with an average age of only 28 announced the birth of the Communist Party of China on a red boat on Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and has since rewritten Chinese history.

  In 100 years, from a new party with less than 60 people to the largest party in the world with more than 91 million members, from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong, the little red boat that carried the hope of the nation at that time has become a bearer of more than 1.4 billion. The huge ship of Fuxing that the Chinese people hope.

The red boat was imitated and completed on August 25, 1959, and anchored on the water in the southeast of Nanhu Yanyu Building.

  This is the Jiaxing section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, known as the "golden waterfront" along the ancient canal.

  For more than 1700 years, the two sides of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal have been full of lights, official boats and boats, and a bustling commercial scene. It is a famous prosperous city in the history of Jiaxing.

  In the old days, there were a lot of boats on the Grand Canal. When the boats are about to reach the Santawan section of the Grand Canal, you can see the three towers standing on the river from a distance. People naturally call out from their hearts: Jiaxing is here!

  The three towers standing on the canal river, like an old man with "experience", have quietly accompanied the children of Jiaxing Canal for more than a thousand years.

  Nowadays, the fish in the river are playing, the children on the shore are laughing and the egrets on the water are in groups, and the three towers are like a pair of "old friends" to the Jiaxing people...

2021, I am waiting for you in the three towers

The Moon River is a tributary of the canal, named after "the water bends and embraces the city like the moon".

Standing on the bridge, among the white walls and tiles, I don't know how much condensed history and stories are hidden in this ordinary alley.

Wandering through it, in a trance, time seems to be going back a thousand years.

2021, I am waiting for you in Yuehe Ancient Town

I want to take you away from the noise

Find peace of mind

  This is the ancient town of Xitang in Jiashan, Jiaxing, with antique wooden railings and elegant carvings, as if time lingers here.

  No wonder some people say that Xitang is "the water of spring and autumn, the town of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the modern people."

In Xitang, 104 bridges are ancient and simple, listening to the thousand-year-old murmur of running water and shallow sings; 122 lanes, deep and wonderful, record the changes of houses on both sides, old things and newcomers.

  Some people say that where there is water, there will be miracles.

Among the many rivers in the world, the Qiantang River is not a big one, but its miracle "the eighteenth tide of August, there is no magnificent world", which makes the Qiantang River powerful and famous all over the world.

  Jiaxing Haining is located at the exit of the Qiantang River, the junction of the sea and the river, and the ancient town of Yanguan is adjacent to the bank of the Qiantang River, which is the best place to watch the Haining tide.

  Whether it is "The waves are like mountains and snow is coming" or "The anger is raging and raging", the tide of the Qiantang River has impressed countless literati and inkmen through the ages.

  Majiabang culture is the Neolithic culture in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, where archeological discovery of primitive settlement life dating back 7,000 years is called "the source of Jiangnan culture."

  Jiaxing has never lacked the passion and soil for innovation.

  40 years ago, Bu Xinsheng, the "reform pioneer" of Haiyan, used a pair of scissors to "cut" the curtain on the reform of China's modern urban enterprise system...

  In 2014, Wuzhen, Tongxiang became the permanent venue of the World Internet Conference, witnessing the tide of the world Internet time and time again...

  In the history of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there is a detail that is memorable: most of the delegates who participated in the meeting took a train to Jiaxing in the morning, and then rushed back to Shanghai on the last train of the day after the meeting.

  Isn't this a manifestation of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta and the integration of Shanghai and Jiaxing?

At that time, the express train from Jiaxing to Shanghai was nearly 3 hours, but now it only takes 27 minutes at the fastest.
