China News Service, Beijing, May 29 (Hao Lingyu) Li Xiaohong, President of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered a work report at the 15th Academician Conference of the Academy on the 29th, reviewing the key work of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in the past two years.

He said that the Chinese Academy of Engineering has overcome the challenges posed by the global pandemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, continues to actively participate in international science and technology governance, and strengthens China's issue setting and rule-making power in the international engineering science and technology community, in the fields of energy, sustainable development, engineering education, etc. Make a Chinese voice and put forward a Chinese plan.

  On the same day, Li Xiaohong summarized the Chinese Academy of Engineering’s two years of advancing anti-epidemic with science and technology, building a new model of scientific and technological poverty alleviation, helping high-quality regional economic development, actively expanding think tank functions, building a high-level and high-quality academician team, expanding the academic influence of think tanks, and promoting active participation in the international community. Work done in engineering, science and technology governance, etc.

  The new crown pneumonia epidemic is a public health event threatening human life, and how to effectively prevent and control the epidemic has become a serious challenge for scientific and technological workers.

Li Xiaohong said in the report that day after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the party group of the hospital organized academicians to fight, and a total of more than 400 people conducted scientific analysis and judgment on epidemic prevention and control, scientific treatment, resumption of work and production, and put forward epidemic prevention and control recommendations.

  In particular, he mentioned that the academicians used their benevolent love and selfless dedication in times of adversity, and immediately rushed to the front line of the fight against the epidemic.

Academicians Zhong Nanshan, Zhang Boli, Chen Wei, Wang Chen, Li Lanjuan, Huang Luqi, Qiao Jie, Dong Jiahong, Cheng Jing, Qu Jiuhui and other academicians have consciously exerted their professional advantages around epidemic research and judgment, vaccine research and development, Chinese medicine application, patient treatment, and virus traceability. Actively engaged in anti-epidemic work, academicians in various fields have provided Wuhan hospital construction, emergency warning, medical waste treatment, agricultural product sales, resumption of work and production through various scientific and technological means such as drug research and development, big data analysis, protection technology and medical equipment research and development. With strong support, a spectrum of anti-epidemic heroes with many stars gathered and each showing their magical powers was drawn.

  "They are the spiritual pillar that the people of the whole country can trust, and they are the steel great wall of science and technology to fight the epidemic." Li Xiaohong said.

  Constructing a new model of scientific and technological poverty alleviation and helping to win the battle against poverty has also been the focus of the work of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in the past two years.

Li Xiaohong said that the party group of the academy used scientific and technological forces to promote fixed-point assistance. The two deeply impoverished counties of Huize and Lancang in Yunnan Province have gradually explored the "cultivation of science and technology industries, cultivation of science and technology, from the poverty incidence rate of more than 40% before poverty alleviation to the realization of poverty alleviation as scheduled. A new model of scientific and technological poverty alleviation that can be replicated and promoted by establishing a collaborative promotion mechanism.

  From the old revolutionary base to the ethnic regions, from the hinterland mountainous areas to the border plateaus, the great rivers left the footsteps of academicians in poverty alleviation.

Li Xiaohong said, "Farmer Academician" Zhu Youyong has long been rooted in Lancang's poverty alleviation line and brought potatoes from the Lahu nationality into the Great Hall of the People; "Fungus Academician" Li Yu went deep into Baishan and Heishui to drive "small fungus, big industry"; Deng Xiuxin led farmers in Ganzhou and other places in Jiangxi to compose a new "Ode to Oranges" in the 21st century; "Rape Academician" Fu Tingdong turned rapeseed flowers into real "flowers for poverty alleviation" and "flowers for getting rich" for the common people...

  The Chinese Academy of Engineering has also actively promoted the implementation of scientific and technological cooperation to help the high-quality development of the regional economy.

Li Xiaohong said that the Chinese Academy of Engineering has improved and optimized the cooperation and coordination mechanism and organizational structure of the institutes and locations, and standardized and promoted the healthy and orderly development of the local strategic research institutes.

Over the past two years, new local research institutes such as Zhejiang, Yunnan, Shanghai, Jilin, Shandong, and Jiangxi have been established, and the Xiong’an Research Institute has been actively prepared to form important provinces and cities covering the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, eastern coastal areas, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Central South. The layout of the area provides intellectual support for the local agglomeration of innovative resources.

  In addition, the Chinese Academy of Engineering also actively participates in international engineering science and technology governance, deepening and expanding international cooperation.

Li Xiaohong said that the Chinese Academy of Engineering has further expanded cooperation and exchanges with key national engineering science and technology institutions such as France, Germany, Sweden, Australia, South Korea, and Japan, and has continued to promote joint Chinese-foreign consulting research projects.

Overcome the challenges posed by the global pandemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, actively explore "cloud foreign affairs", continue to actively participate in international science and technology governance, strengthen China's issue setting and rule-making power in the international engineering science and technology community, and focus on energy, sustainable development, and engineering education. The voice of China in other fields, and the proposal of China is put forward.
