Study “Pudong Avenue 141” every day, this house number belongs to a small gray-yellow building in Shanghai. This small building has 2 floors and was built in 1956 and has a 64 year history.
Thirty years ago, on May 3, 1990, in the small building within this issue, the two posters of “Shanghai Municipal People’s Government Pudong Development Office” and “Shanghai Pudong Development Planning and Design Institute” they hung at the same time. The newly established office was assigned 3 key functions: policy formulation, publicity and reception, and planning.
That year, the tallest building in Pudong was only a few tens of meters away; Lujiazui was full of mud roads … Half a month before listing, on April 18, 1990, the Central Party Committee and the State Council formally announced the development and opening of Pudong.
Taking this small building with mottled walls as its starting point, Shanghai Pudong New Area, with openness as its character and innovation as its soul, will usher in a 30-year milestone in 2020.
In the past, people used “I’d rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong” to describe Pudong’s closedness and backwardness; Today, Pudong is known worldwide for its openness and tolerance. Looking back at “141”, the beautiful expectation of “Pudong Development One is, the other is two, one step at a time, and solid work is accomplished,” made dreams come true.
On March 31, 2007, Xi Jinping, who served as the secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee for just one week, arrived in Pudong New Area and considered it the first stop for his study of 19 districts and counties of the city.
On that sunny spring day, Xi Jinping came to the Pudong New Area Exhibition Hall for the first time. He carefully looked at the precious old pictures to understand the historical process of the development and opening of Pudong. In this survey, Xi Jinping made it clear: “We must better understand the importance of Pudong’s national development and opening-up strategy.” Not only does he have high hopes for the development and opening of Pudong, but he also requires Pudong to work more from the perspective of “one chess game across the country.” To begin with, not only build a new city, but also explore a new path for the development of the country.
In 2010, Xi Jinping came to a clear conclusion when researching Pudong: “The importance of the development of Pudong lies in the role of the window, the importance of the demonstration, the daring to try, the first test and the role of the avant-garde.” . It is precisely this development and positioning objective. He created the Pudong miracle of speed, leading Pudong to become the epitome of China’s reform and opening-up and Shanghai’s modernization push.
On the morning of November 6, 2018, Secretary General Xi Jinping gazed out over the city of Shanghai from the 119th floor of the Shanghai Tower.
“The sea does not give up the water, so that it can become great; the mountains do not give up the land and the rocks, so that it can reach its height.” Xi Jinping quoted this phrase many times to encourage everyone. He said that Shanghai’s ability to become a large city depends on internal connections and external expansion to become today’s international metropolis, and will continue to do so in the future.
In the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping started from the general situation of the party and the country and created new and higher expectations for Shanghai and Pudong.
In May 2014, during his inspection tour in Shanghai, he emphasized that Shanghai should strive to be at the forefront of the country and the world in advancing technological innovation and implementing innovation-driven development strategies, and accelerate its march towards a center of technological innovation with global influence.
China Chip, Blue Sky Dream, Innovative Medicine, Future Car, Intelligent Manufacturing, and Atrium are Pudong’s top six industries. From the first large C919 airliner soaring into the sky, to the launch of the experimental quantum science satellite “Mozi” … there have been a number of iconic original achievements in Shanghai, and a series of science and technology facilities from world class have come together quickly. “World’s First”, “World’s First”, “Country’s First” … In the exhibits at Shanghai Zhangjiang Science City, these keywords are endless.
The construction of the Shanghai Free Zone was the earliest in the country and progress has been made every year, it is a national benchmark. Today, emerging industries have taken root, institutional innovations have flourished, high-level talents have taken hold, and urban functions have become more and more perfect … Lingang New Area of the Free Trade Zone from Shanghai by Lake Dishui, a new CBD “Lujiazui” is rapidly emerging.
“Shanghai has a responsibility to remain at the forefront of reform and openness.” Thirty years ago, he was on his feet and now he has stepped forward.
