In 2012, China's GDP exceeded 50 trillion yuan for the first time, making it the second largest economy in the world.
It is vast in size, huge in size and large in population.
How can China make up for the shortcomings of development, narrow the gap between regions, and eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor?
How can China better coordinate development?
In ten years, the moat has become a channel.
The flow of people, logistics, capital and information flows efficiently.
Regional development is more coordinated and balanced.
A mobile China, full of vitality of prosperity and development.
mobility in the countryside
The Nujiang River is located in the southwestern border of China.
At seven o'clock every night, in Fugong County, located in the Nujiang Grand Canyon, dance music is heard.
But ten years ago, the night here was still silent.
The mountains and rivers are blocked and the traffic is blocked, which has plagued the people of Nujiang for generations.
It was not until four years ago that the local government started ex-situ poverty alleviation and relocation, realizing the long-cherished wish of generations of people to get out of the mountains and get rid of poverty.
Not only here, but in the past ten years, my country has launched an unprecedented large-scale ex-situ poverty alleviation and relocation in areas such as the central and western regions with high mountains, severe desertification, and high plateaus.
In the whole country, there are 35,000 new villages and towns due to relocation, and more than 9.6 million poor people have completed the relocation, which is equivalent to relocating a country with a medium-sized population.
The fortunes of millions of people have been changed as a result.
In the past ten years, the mountains and rivers have witnessed great changes in history.

4700m above sea level, Sejila Mountain.
China's self-developed hard rock roadheader "Xueyu Pioneer" will work with another roadheader to drive a railway tunnel with a total length of 37.9 kilometers in nearly seven years.
Every 1 minute, the intelligent IoT gateway on the "Snowy Pioneer" will transmit its working status back to the data center thousands of miles away.
Using the data platform of China Railway Engineering Equipment, we have collected the working conditions of large-scale tunnel boring equipment in the past ten years, and found their locations one by one on the map.
Hengduan Mountain, Nyainqentanglha Mountain, Qilian Mountain... The places where these engineering equipment are located are often mountains that have been difficult to conquer in the past.
In the past ten years, the Chinese and Chinese-made engineering equipment have broken through unprecedented difficulties, opened up the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, and Qinling Mountains, and built more than 20,000 kilometers of tunnels, of which the central and western regions accounted for nearly 60%.
Ten years of hard work across mountains and mountains, only for one goal, to fill the gap.
This is the railway network in 2012. At this time, there are still a lot of blanks in the railway construction in the western region. The density of the railway network in the western region is only 53.5% of the national average.
This year, there was only one Guangmao line running westward from Guangzhou.
The number of high-speed trains running westward from Guangzhou is zero.
This is a scene that happened during the Spring Festival travel ten years ago.
The people who returned to their hearts like arrows converged into a mighty motorcycle army. At the peak, the scale exceeded 1 million.
Ten years later, when the camera was again aimed at the only way for the motorcycle army to pass, what was seen was such a scene.
Where did the motorcycle army go?
The South-Guangzhou Railway, which opened in late 2014, may answer this question.
The 12306 ticketing big data has captured the changes on this route: since 2015, during the Spring Festival travel period, the number of passengers from the counties and townships in Wuzhou and Baise increased rapidly on the train from Guangzhou to Guangxi.
Today, more and more migrant workers, in this way, set foot on their way home, laughing and laughing, witnessing the changes of the times.
In the past ten years, the railway has continued to extend and expand to the central and western regions.
By the end of 2021, the railway mileage in the western region will exceed 60,000 kilometers, accounting for 40% of the national total;
The road network has also been woven densely and finely in the past ten years, and there are more than 55 kilometers of roads in every 100 square kilometers.
The number of rural roads directly repaired to the entrance of the village exceeded 4.4 million kilometers, and more than 50,000 organized villages were connected to buses.
Satellites also capture these changes from space.
Guizhou, famous for its karst landforms, has nearly 20,000 bridges of various kinds, turning a place with "no three feet of land" into a "high-speed plain".
On the edge of the Tarim Basin, within a year and a half, a neat building has grown in the Gobi. This is a railway station on the Heruo Railway, Yutian Station.
Today, we use more than 2,000 kilometers of railways to "encircle" the famous "sea of death" - the Taklimakan Desert. The Gobi flying sand is no longer an obstacle to flow.
In order to allow the grapes and other fresh fruits here to be transported fresh, a 5,000-ton cold storage has been specially built along the railway line.
Through tracking and analysis of the national cold chain big data, we found some interesting changes.
With the continuous extension of the railway network in the central and western regions, the construction of supporting logistics facilities has accelerated significantly.
In 2016, the cold storage capacity around the railway in ten western provinces was only 260,000 tons, but in five years, they have grown rapidly. By 2021, this number has become 1.25 million tons, an increase of nearly 5 times.
We zoomed in a little more and captured more changes with the shooting equipment distributed in the countryside and mountains.
Over the past decade, China has transformed and upgraded the rural power grids in impoverished areas, benefiting 8 million poor villagers.
With more than 2 million 5G base stations all over the country, every village has access to broadband. China has built the world's largest and technologically advanced network infrastructure.
In the past decade, the accelerated infrastructure construction in the central and western regions has narrowed the regional development gap with the eastern regions.
More importantly, the efficient linkage between them and the east has gradually made coordinated development a reality.
Mobility brings a new pattern
Guiyang North Railway Station, one of the top ten high-speed rail hubs in the country, has tens of thousands of people riding here every day.
With many mountains and few roads, Guiyang's economic development has been limited for a long time, and the brain drain is serious.
Since 2013, Guiyang has taken the data industry as the theme and cultivated industries such as electronic information manufacturing and advanced equipment manufacturing.
New industries continue to emerge and become "magnets" for attracting population.
In today's Guiyang, an optical cable transmission channel with a total length of 1,305 kilometers across three provinces is under construction.
About 4 million servers in the 6 newly constructed big data centers will be connected by them, forming the largest computing power hub in China.
When we come to the high-altitude perspective and look down, this change is more obvious.
With the continuous development of emerging industries, the area of Guiyang is also becoming larger. We have circled the obvious changes in the city. The new population has exceeded 1.6 million in ten years, and it is not only Guiyang that has changed.
Xi'an, the city has developed rapidly in the past ten years, and the number of people is also increasing.
The resident population increased by 4.4851 million, ranking fourth in the country.
Not long ago, Xi'an just completed the ignition test of the world's largest thrust monolithic solid rocket engine.
Now, more than one-third of the domestic aerospace scientific research units gather here.
Today, there are more and more young people, and the first choice for career is no longer just Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the central and western regions have become their new choices to start their dreams.
We have counted the data of newly registered market players in 338 cities across the country in the past ten years. In the past ten years, market players in traditional manufacturing and strategic emerging industries have increased by more than four times.
Taking strategic emerging industries as the observation point, we found that in the past ten years, strategic emerging industrial clusters such as equipment manufacturing and new energy have gradually extended from the eastern coastal areas to the inland areas, forming new industrial clusters in the central and western regions.
The new layout of industrial clusters has brought about population aggregation and urban expansion.
New urban agglomerations are quietly emerging in the Midwest.
Today, the speed of flow has never been faster, which provides opportunities for thousands of individuals trying to change their destiny, and is constantly reshaping the economic landscape.
When night comes, all this can be seen more clearly through the light map captured by remote sensing satellites.
Using the night light remote sensing data analysis system of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we have seen changes in these places over the past ten years.
There are past efforts in the luminous map, and it also carries the hope of the future.
It is the deep connection between regions and the bridging of the gap between different plates.
It is the smooth flow of people and things, and the fusion of information.
This is a larger flow than time and space.
This is China today, developing a more coordinated China.
