The two sessions just closed. On May 29, a warm letter was sent to the hands of 25 science and technology workers.
Only because of this upcoming special day-May 30th, the fourth "National Science and Technology Workers' Day".
Time back to this day 4 years ago.
On May 30, 2016, at the National Science and Technology Innovation Conference, the Academician Conference of the Two Academy of Sciences, and the Ninth National Congress of the Chinese Association of Science and Technology, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued a call to march into the world's scientific and technological powers. The "Three Science and Technology Meetings" set a new milestone in the history of my country's technological development.
In November 2016, the State Council approved and agreed to designate May 30th as "National Science and Technology Workers' Day" every year.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the development of scientific and technological undertakings, and has shown great care to science and technology workers and has high hopes.
Since the beginning of this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally directed and deployed personally to lead the people of the whole country to start the people ’s war, the overall war, and the war of resistance to epidemic prevention and control.
On March 2nd, Xi Jinping inspected the research on the prevention and control of new coronary pneumonia in Beijing. This is Xi Jinping from the Beijing Laboratory of Biomedical Testing Technology and Instruments of Tsinghua University School of Medicine
"The key to improving the cure rate, reducing the mortality rate, and ultimately defeating the epidemic depends on science and technology." In March, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the research and development of new coronary pneumonia prevention and control in Beijing, and greeted the vast scientific and technological work in the frontline By. He pointed out that by fighting this hard battle, mastering more core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, come up with more hard-core products, and make greater contributions to safeguarding people's lives and health, and maintaining national strategic security.
"No matter how the conditions change, the ambition of self-reliance and hard work can not be lost." In April, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a message to the old scientists who participated in the "Dongfanghong No. 1" mission. Astronauts in the new era must use the older generation of space Man-made example, vigorously promote the "two bombs and one star" spirit, dare to overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and be brave to climb the peak of aerospace science and technology.
At the two sessions of the country this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized "vigorously promoting technological innovation and other innovations" when visiting economic committee members attending the CPPCC.
...
No matter when the epidemic prevention and control is severe, or at the critical stage of resumption of production, General Secretary Xi Jinping has not forgotten to emphasize asking for answers and methods from science, and pointing out the direction of innovation for the majority of scientific and technological workers.
In the context of the critical period and the superposition of complex situations, the general secretary emphasized in this reply-"Innovation is the first driving force to lead development, and technology is a powerful weapon to overcome difficulties."
At present, the difficulties we face are not only the unprecedented new coronary pneumonia epidemic, but also the new challenges that we must meet in order to win a comprehensive well-off and fight against poverty. In order to overcome difficulties and overcome difficulties, the general secretary put forward four main points in his reply.
——Talking about the goal, he pointed out that "the courage to climb the peak of science and technology".
——Speaking of spirit, he encourages “promoting fine traditions” and “firm innovation and self-confidence”.
——Putting emphasis, he clearly “strive to overcome key core technologies”.
——A clear path, he emphasized “promoting the deep integration of production, teaching and research”.
In his reply, the general secretary's special emphasis on "focusing on key core technologies" was meaningful. Only by making more breakthroughs in the "card neck" technical field, can we take the initiative in technology and development firmly in our own hands.
This letter of reply will certainly inspire the majority of scientific and technological workers to grasp the general trend, seize the opportunities, face the problems and face the difficulties, and be the vanguard of technological innovation in the new era.
Everyone must also be curious. Who are the 25 representatives of science and technology workers who wrote to General Secretary Xi Jinping?
Making the list can be described as "big coffee" gathered, "starlight" shining.
Among them, there are strugglers who have made important contributions to the prevention and control of the epidemic-
When the epidemic was severe, the two old academicians Zhong Nanshan and Li Lanjuan firmly "retrograde". Academician Wang Chen, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, helped promote the construction of the square cabin hospital. Academician Qiao Jie, the president of the Peking University Third Hospital, led the team to support the frontline of anti-epidemic. The three academicians Zhang Boli, Tong Xiaolin and Huang Luqi made outstanding contributions to the anti-epidemic medicine of Chinese medicine. Academician Chen Wei's team was struggling to tackle the new crown virus vaccine. They were working day and night in clinical treatment, vaccine development, material security, and big data application to prevent epidemic situation. Controlling the struggle provides scientific and technological support.
