It sent worshippers diving behind pews for cover while older children scrambled to shield younger ones, officials said. At least two of the church exits were blocked by wooden planks barricaded outside the doors, O'Hara said.</p>\n<p> The violence struck at the start of an all-school Mass held annually on the first Wednesday of the academic year at Annunciation Catholic School.</p>\n<p> "This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshipping. The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible," O'Hara said.</p>\n<p> In addition to the two children killed, 17 other people were struck by gunfire — 14 of them students aged 6 to 18 and three parishioners in their 80s, O'Hara said.</p>\n<p> A 2017 yearbook from the school showed that Westman, who went by the first name Robert at the time, had been a student there, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.</p>\n<p> Online videos reviewed by Reuters showed the text of a suicide note in which the shooter expressed feeling depressed and wanting to carry out a mass shooting. Names of previous school shooters were scrawled on a rifle magazine, along with erratic and wide-ranging political grievances.</p>\n<p> In a statement on X, US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the suspect was "claiming to be transgender".</p>\n<p> Appearing with the police chief and other officials at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey cautioned against bringing gender politics into the tragedy. Frey also cited the easy availability of firearms as a root cause of mass shootings that are commonplace in the United States.</p>\n<p> The shooting at Annunciation, a parochial school with about 395 students, marked the 146th incident of gun violence at a place of primary or secondary education since January, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database.</p>\n<p></p>",

"title": "011WORLD - Museum celebrates Chinese American legacy",

"description": "<div></div><p> When Gay Yuen immigrated from Hong Kong to Los Angeles' Chinatown at the age of 6, she dreaded history class. She spoke no English, and her textbooks offered no trace of Chinese like her. Even in high school, US history skipped over the Chinese immigrants who had crossed oceans, built railroads and worked in the mines of the 19th century.</p>\n<p> Decades later, Yuen serves as the board chair of the Friends of the Chinese American Museum in LA, which seeks to recover those erased stories.</p>\n<p> "What I've learned in these 20 years is a history that was never taught in school," she said. "And the longer I stayed with the museum, the more I realized that such a museum is so needed here, locally, statewide and nationally."</p>\n<p> Yuen emphasized that the museum's role is not only to document overlooked history but also to "honor those who illuminate the Chinese people and the contributors to making that history in America".</p>\n<p> Her own journey, from rejecting to preserving history, reflects the museum's work in shining a light on the experiences of Chinese Americans and inspiring the next generation. That mission was highlighted at its 29th annual Historymaker Awards, where the 2025 honorees were recently announced in LA.</p>\n<p> Among them, Brandon Tsay received the Dr Dan S Louie Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award for courageously disarming a shooter, preventing further tragedy shortly after 11 people were killed in Monterey, California, in 2023.</p>\n<p> The Art and Activism Award went to rapper and poet Jason Chu, whose work amplifies the voices of Asian Americans. As co-curator of the museum's spoken-word exhibition (Be) Spoken, he brought together pioneers and emerging artists. "Our heroes and our next generation — their voices are in the museum today," Chu said.</p>\n<p> <b>Role models</b></p>\n<p> "They are our leaders and mentors who have advanced our Southern California Chinese American communities and serve as role models for our next generation," said the museum's co-founder Munson Kwok. "And they are voices of legacy trailblazers and bridge builders."</p>\n<p> One of the most solemn recognitions went to the 1871 Memorial Project, which received the Judge Ronald S W Lew Visionary Award. Lew was the first Chinese American appointed to the federal bench outside of Hawaii. The initiative seeks to memorialize the Chinese Massacre of 1871, when a mob lynched 18 Chinese men and boys in Los Angeles, one of the darkest episodes in the city's history.</p>\n<p> Michael Woo, president of the project and the first Asian American elected to the LA City Council, explained that the memorial will be an immersive urban landmark across multiple downtown sites. Sculptures inspired by banyan trees, along with interpretive installations, audio tours and augmented reality features, will educate the public about this tragic chapter in LA history.</p>\n<p> "The idea of a memorial is not just a statue on a pedestal, but a sequence of sites that keeps the memory alive while creating a unique urban landmark," Woo told China Daily. "It's about raising public awareness, not just about history, but especially at a time when there are authorities who are trying to erase history."</p>\n<p> For Congresswoman Judy Chu, the museum's work carries national significance. "It's shed light on the discrimination that Asian Americans have faced, and it's even more vital to do this now with the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, xenophobic attacks on immigrants and the rollback of language access for those with limited English proficiency," Chu said.</p>\n<p> She noted that without the Chinese American community's efforts, the US people might forget that the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 institutionalized discrimination for six decades, or overlook the contributions of Chinese railroad workers whose labor helped bind the nation's infrastructure and economy.</p>\n<p> <span>renali@chinadailyusa.com</span></p>\n<p></p>",

She spoke no English, and her textbooks offered no trace of Chinese like her. Even in high school, US history skipped over the Chinese immigrants who had crossed oceans, built railroads and worked in the mines of the 19th century.</p>\n<p> Decades later, Yuen serves as the board chair of the Friends of the Chinese American Museum in LA, which seeks to recover those erased stories.</p>\n<p> "What I've learned in these 20 years is a history that was never taught in school," she said. "And the longer I stayed with the museum, the more I realized that such a museum is so needed here, locally, statewide and nationally."</p>\n<p> Yuen emphasized that the museum's role is not only to document overlooked history but also to "honor those who illuminate the Chinese people and the contributors to making that history in America".</p>\n<p> Her own journey, from rejecting to preserving history, reflects the museum's work in shining a light on the experiences of Chinese Americans and inspiring the next generation. That mission was highlighted at its 29th annual Historymaker Awards, where the 2025 honorees were recently announced in LA.</p>\n<p> Among them, Brandon Tsay received the Dr Dan S Louie Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award for courageously disarming a shooter, preventing further tragedy shortly after 11 people were killed in Monterey, California, in 2023.</p>\n<p> The Art and Activism Award went to rapper and poet Jason Chu, whose work amplifies the voices of Asian Americans. As co-curator of the museum's spoken-word exhibition (Be) Spoken, he brought together pioneers and emerging artists. "Our heroes and our next generation — their voices are in the museum today," Chu said.</p>\n<p> <b>Role models</b></p>\n<p> "They are our leaders and mentors who have advanced our Southern California Chinese American communities and serve as role models for our next generation," said the museum's co-founder Munson Kwok. "And they are voices of legacy trailblazers and bridge builders."</p>\n<p> One of the most solemn recognitions went to the 1871 Memorial Project, which received the Judge Ronald S W Lew Visionary Award. Lew was the first Chinese American appointed to the federal bench outside of Hawaii. The initiative seeks to memorialize the Chinese Massacre of 1871, when a mob lynched 18 Chinese men and boys in Los Angeles, one of the darkest episodes in the city's history.</p>\n<p> Michael Woo, president of the project and the first Asian American elected to the LA City Council, explained that the memorial will be an immersive urban landmark across multiple downtown sites. Sculptures inspired by banyan trees, along with interpretive installations, audio tours and augmented reality features, will educate the public about this tragic chapter in LA history.</p>\n<p> "The idea of a memorial is not just a statue on a pedestal, but a sequence of sites that keeps the memory alive while creating a unique urban landmark," Woo told China Daily. "It's about raising public awareness, not just about history, but especially at a time when there are authorities who are trying to erase history."</p>\n<p> For Congresswoman Judy Chu, the museum's work carries national significance. "It's shed light on the discrimination that Asian Americans have faced, and it's even more vital to do this now with the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes, xenophobic attacks on immigrants and the rollback of language access for those with limited English proficiency," Chu said.</p>\n<p> She noted that without the Chinese American community's efforts, the US people might forget that the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 institutionalized discrimination for six decades, or overlook the contributions of Chinese railroad workers whose labor helped bind the nation's infrastructure and economy.</p>\n<p> <span>renali@chinadailyusa.com</span></p>\n<p></p>",

In Xuzhou, East China's Jiangsu province, the power supplier has used big-data-driven strategies to deliver energy efficiency diagnostics to nearly 40 enterprises, saving them some 170,000 yuan ($23,940) in power-factor-adjustment charges. At Wanjin Textile, the cut reached 5,000 yuan. Aiming to "serve clients in conserving energy and boosting efficiency, and expand public value-added services", staff members from State Grid Xuzhou leveraged their professional expertise and big-data technologies to mine information deeply, building a power-factor curve model and developing a customized, data-visualization tool that helps frontline employees in delivering extended services efficiently.</p>\n<p> <b>Yuan strengthens against greenback</b></p>\n<p> The central parity rate of the Chinese currency renminbi, or the yuan, strengthened 45 pips to 7.1063 against the US dollar on Thursday, according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System.

The new Xi'an outlet, which opened on July 17, featured a 10-day pop-up experience in partnership with concept store Watch Whisky Coffee, designed to showcase the brand's urban-inspired style and high-quality products.</p>\n<p> Massimo Dutti positions itself as a refined, urban label — distinct from sister brand Zara's youth-oriented, trend-driven image — targeting customers who value timeless designs, quality fabrics and attention to detail.</p>\n<p> "With the development of China's economy, we have observed a growing emphasis on quality, safety and sustainability among customers," said Bregolat. "We continuously adapt our designs and products to meet the evolving needs of our customers."</p>\n<p> He added that Chinese consumers have developed a deeper understanding of fashion — no longer blindly chasing trends, but engaging with fashion as a means of self-expression and self-affirmation.</p>\n<p> According to Euromonitor International, retail value sales in the womenswear sector in China rose 2 percent in current terms in 2024 to 1.06 trillion yuan ($150 billion).</p>\n<p> "The Chinese market still holds enormous untapped consumption potential — the very reason global brands refuse to look away," said Cheng Weixiong, a fashion analyst and founder of Shanghai Liangqi Brand Co Ltd.</p>\n<p> However, China's womenswear market has become so competitive in recent years that shoppers now jump to the wallet-friendly "dupes", with an ultra-efficient supply chain collapsing the timeline from factory floor to store shelf, accelerating homogenized styles and popping every pricing bubble, Cheng said.</p>\n<p> Cheng added that mid-to-premium European and US fashion houses still command premiums through distinctive aesthetics, constant research and development in materials, and strong storytelling, while many domestic players lacking identity or technical depth are quickly sidelined.</p>\n<p> To engage more deeply with local consumers, Massimo Dutti is tailoring products for Chinese tastes while introducing global limited collections. For Spring Festival, it launched a "Year of the Snake" limited edition with a campaign by fashion photographer Leslie Zhang. In April, a global capsule collection debuted at its Shanghai Nanjing West Road store.</p>\n<p> Digital channels are a growing focus. The brand has launched official flagship stores on Tmall and JD.com and maintains brand accounts on RedNote and WeChat to engage directly with consumers.</p>\n<p> E-commerce and short-video platforms are seen as key traffic drivers for China's apparel sector. "Recognizing that younger generations predominantly engage with brands online, we continue to expand our digital presence to offer more diversified touchpoints," Bregolat said.</p>\n<p> Analyst Cheng added that the Chinese consumer base remains vast and alluring, but foreign brands must fully embrace the nation's e-commerce boom — tapping digital ecosystems and platform efficiencies — to survive in this race.</p>\n<p> Massimo Dutti's supply chain strategy combines global sourcing with proximity manufacturing in Spain, Portugal, Turkiye and Morocco, allowing close collaboration with nonexclusive suppliers, reduced carbon footprints and achieving rapid product turnaround.</p>\n<p> The company said this approach, supported by short production runs, offers flexibility and control, enabling it to produce a wide range of responsible fashion. Its integrated inventory management system enables services such as in-store pickups for online orders, cross-channel returns and shipping from nearby retail locations.</p>\n<p> The push in China comes as parent company Inditex reported modest growth in its latest quarter. During the first quarter of 2025, sales rose 1.5 percent year-on-year to 8.3 billion euros ($9.66 billion), gross profit climbed 1.5 percent to 5 billion euros, and EBITDA increased 1 percent to 2.4 billion euros.</p>\n<p> With Chinese consumers placing greater emphasis on quality, safety, sustainability and self-expLine truncated

"Recognizing that younger generations predominantly engage with brands online, we continue to expand our digital presence to offer more diversified touchpoints," Bregolat said.</p>\n<p> Analyst Cheng added that the Chinese consumer base remains vast and alluring, but foreign brands must fully embrace the nation's e-commerce boom — tapping digital ecosystems and platform efficiencies — to survive in this race.</p>\n<p> Massimo Dutti's supply chain strategy combines global sourcing with proximity manufacturing in Spain, Portugal, Turkiye and Morocco, allowing close collaboration with nonexclusive suppliers, reduced carbon footprints and achieving rapid product turnaround.</p>\n<p> The company said this approach, supported by short production runs, offers flexibility and control, enabling it to produce a wide range of responsible fashion. Its integrated inventory management system enables services such as in-store pickups for online orders, cross-channel returns and shipping from nearby retail locations.</p>\n<p> The push in China comes as parent company Inditex reported modest growth in its latest quarter. During the first quarter of 2025, sales rose 1.5 percent year-on-year to 8.3 billion euros ($9.66 billion), gross profit climbed 1.5 percent to 5 billion euros, and EBITDA increased 1 percent to 2.4 billion euros.</p>\n<p> With Chinese consumers placing greater emphasis on quality, safety, sustainability and self-expressLine truncated

The movie not only introduces breathtaking images of Lushan's mist-shrouded peaks and verdant valleys, but also features a landmark moment in Chinese cinema — a screen kiss that broke long-standing taboos around on-screen intimacy.

The event aims to promote a deep integration of film and tourism through various activities, including screenings of classic romance movies and immersive cultural and tourism experiences.</p>\n<p> Li Longwu, director of the Jiangxi provincial film bureau, hopes the event will remind audiences of the emotional power of cinema, encourage them to discover love, believe in love, and to love courageously with the help of movies.</p>\n<p> The 1980 blockbuster Romance on Lushan Mountain tells the story of the daughter of a retired Kuomintang general who comes back from the United States to visit Lushan Mountain and falls in love with the son of a People's Liberation Army general.

It combines screenings of Chinese and international romance films featuring well-known actors, creative exchanges, and industry forums.

This event invites audiences to vote for the 10 most representative romantic films released between 2000 and 2024, chosen from a list of 50. The selected works, along with other films, will be shown during the week at multiple venues across Lushan, from indoor cinemas to outdoor theaters nestled in the landscape.</p>\n<p> Adding star power, celebrity couple Chen Jianbin and Jiang Qinqin have been named ambassadors for this year's film week.

Shi, who is on the brink of turning pro, turned heads at the tournament.</p>\n<p> The clock read 38 seconds. Tsinghua University trailed by six in the semifinal of the inaugural Asian University Basketball League (AUBL) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Every possession felt like the last.</p>\n<p> Then came the moment: Shi Kui, the 22-year-old captain, caught the ball, rose over his defender and drained a three. One possession later — another three, this time from deep. Tied game. The arena erupted.</p>\n<p> Tsinghua made a strong comeback to beat South Korea's Konkuk University 88-86 in overtime, but for Shi, it was deja vu. In 2021, as a high schooler, he scored 17 fourth-quarter points to lift Tsinghua University High School from an 18-point hole.</p>\n<p> "This one felt even sweeter," he said. "Because this time, the crowd was there — cheering every second."</p>\n<p> "At that moment, I gave it my all. The coach and my teammates trusted me — they put the ball in my hands, and I knew I had to step up," Shi said. As the shots left his hands, he felt the certainty: "Big moments come from training every day."</p>\n<p> At 22, Shi carries the poise of a seasoned veteran. Having honed his skills through school leagues at every level, he now stands on the brink of a professional career.</p>\n<p> This was Shi's final summer in college — back-to-back tournaments, fierce opponents with varied styles, and a growing spotlight. The final of AUBL brought his biggest test.</p>\n<p> The Chengchi University side from Taiwan set up to shut him down from the start: denying passes, forcing collisions and pushing him off the ball. Four fouls by halftime sent Shi to the bench through the third quarter. Without his playmaking, Tsinghua struggled, and a late rally wasn't enough — it finished 79-82, leaving Tsinghua three points shy of the title.</p>\n<p> "I've rarely been defended so aggressively, so I had to figure things out on the fly," Shi said. "Before, I could shake off defenders quite easily to receive the ball. Today, I had to run hard, battle through contact, crash into opponents just to get open."</p>\n<p> Even so, the crowd noticed. What started as support for Tsinghua became a chorus for Shi. "I loved the energy — the lights, the cheers — it created a real stage," Shi said.</p>\n<p> After the game, Chengchi's head coach Chen Tzu-wei praised the Tsinghua guard: "In this series, Shi Kui really played at an MVP level, and I'm very glad we had the chance to compete against him."</p>\n<p> <b>Learning to improve</b></p>\n<p> For Shi, summer mirrors the life of a professional athlete — full days of training, back-to-back invitationals and barely any rest. Though the team pauses for seven to 10 days each winter and summer, Shi trims that to two or three before returning to solo training.</p>\n<p> Unlike many of his peers who turned pro early, Shi chose the campus basketball system. He attended classes alongside regular students while keeping pace with professional-level training.</p>\n<p> Born in 2003 and growing up in Dongguan, Guangdong province, Shi was first coached by his father. From dribbling in the courtyard as a child, to formally playing in middle school, his talent emerged early. In the 2017 Dongguan middle school league final, he scored 60 points to carry Tung Wah Junior High School to the championship almost singlehandedly.</p>\n<p> His ability drew offers from both Tsinghua University High School and professional teams. He chose the former — balancing academics and basketball.</p>\n<p> In the 2020 Xinghuo Cup final, Tsinghua defeated a CBA youth team from Shandong, with Shi named MVP and receiving the trophy from then-Chinese Basketball Association president Yao Ming.</p>\n<p> A year later, after winning the national high school league championship and MVP titles, Shi joined Tsinghua University. Starting in the rotation, he became team captain two years later.</p>\n<p> Over his first four seasons, Tsinghua claimed two Chinese University Basketball Association (CUBAL) titles, a runners-up medal and a third-place finish. Last year's championship, led by Shi as the team's core player, remains his proudest achievement.</p>\n<p> This year, though, brought a setback: a semifinal loss to Huaqiao University, despite Shi scoring 25 of the team's 61 points. Next year will be his last season, and his goLine truncated

Its GDP surged to 1.42 trillion yuan ($197.5 billion) in 2024, from 46.4 billion yuan in 1995, ranking it eighth among China's provincial capitals.</p>\n<p> As the pioneer of the "Digital China "strategy, Fuzhou has made great strides in high-tech industries.</p>\n<p> In 1999 when Fuzhou Software Park was established at the foothills of Wufeng Mountain, there was only one building and some 100 enterprises. Today it consists of seven zones and 173 buildings, attracting three industries of the digital economy — software and information technology service, photoelectric chips and next-generation IT.</p>\n<p> Rockchip Electronics, founded in the park in 2001, has become one of China's leading integrated circuit design companies focused on the internet of things. Its products are widely recognized in the machine vision and automotive electronics industries.</p>\n<p> The scale of Fuzhou's digital economy reached 790 billion yuan in 2024, representing 56 percent of GDP.</p>\n<p> The city's traditional industries have also undergone transformation and upgrading, driven by scientific and technological innovation.</p>\n<p> In Changle district, the city's textile center, nearly 700 businesses and more than 10,000 machines have been connected to the Fujian (Changle) textile industrial internet platform.</p>\n<p> "The platform utilizes artificial intelligence-driven terminal devices to monitor our tricot machines and automatically adjust parameters.

Its GDP surged to 1.42 trillion yuan ($197.5 billion) in 2024, from 46.4 billion yuan in 1995, ranking it eighth among China's provincial capitals.</p>\n<p> As the pioneer of the "Digital China "strategy, Fuzhou has made great strides in high-tech industries.</p>\n<p> In 1999 when Fuzhou Software Park was established at the foothills of Wufeng Mountain, there was only one building and some 100 enterprises. Today it consists of seven zones and 173 buildings, attracting three industries of the digital economy — software and information technology service, photoelectric chips and next-generation IT.</p>\n<p> Rockchip Electronics, founded in the park in 2001, has become one of China's leading integrated circuit design companies focused on the internet of things. Its products are widely recognized in the machine vision and automotive electronics industries.</p>\n<p> The scale of Fuzhou's digital economy reached 790 billion yuan in 2024, representing 56 percent of GDP.</p>\n<p> The city's traditional industries have also undergone transformation and upgrading, driven by scientific and technological innovation.</p>\n<p> In Changle district, the city's textile center, nearly 700 businesses and more than 10,000 machines have been connected to the Fujian (Changle) textile industrial internet platform.</p>\n<p> "The platform utilizes artificial intelligence-driven terminal devices to monitor our tricot machines and automatically adjust parameters. Compared with the past, it has reduced downtime by 10 percent and lowered operating costs by 15 percent by optimizing material consumption and working-hour allocation," said Liu Tianzhen, general manager of Fujian Jiegao Textile.</p>\n<p> As a national marine economy development demonstration zone, Fuzhou has led the country in fishery output value for 30 years.

"description": "<div></div><p> During the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (COP15), held on July 24 in Zimbabwe, Fuzhou received the "Wetland City "accreditation certificate, making it the first city in Fujian province to earn this international recognition.</p>\n<p> This accolade is the latest in a series of environmental achievements by Fuzhou. In 2003, it was named a "National Garden City", and in 2017, it gained official status as a "National Forest City".</p>\n<p> Behind these honors lies not only Fuzhou's abundant natural resources, including 58 mountains, 139 rivers and 194,200 hectares of wetlands, but also its sustained commitment to ecological protection.</p>\n<p> To address challenges posed by its intricate waterways and frequent natural disasters, Fuzhou has implemented an innovative approach to the coordinated control of water and shoreline pollution.</p>\n<p> Measures such as sediment dredging, pollutant interception, and drainage system upgrades have led to the elimination of all black and odorous water bodies.</p>\n<p> The Liuhuaxi River, once known for clogged channels and foul odors, underwent a major cleanup involving the removal of 638,000 cubic meters of waste and the installation of a 7-kilometer pipeline to block pollutants. Following the cleanup, over 9,000 trees and large areas of greenery were added along the riverbanks, transforming Liuhuaxi Park into a popular spot for residents seeking relaxation and natural beauty.</p>\n<p> As the water environment improved, the city launched 29 inland river cruise routes, allowing tourists to enjoy its landscape and unique charm on boats.</p>\n<p> There are also more than 1,400 parks in Fuzhou, including large ecological parks, riverside parks and pocket parks.</p>\n<p> Among them, Sanjiangkou Botanical Garden, which opened on the last day of 2024, has become a new landmark for the city's ecological environment, as it integrates plant conservation, scientific research, public education and eco-tourism.</p>\n<p> Fuzhou National Forest Park is home to a nearly 1,000-year-old banyan tree, known as the "King of Banyan Trees".</p>\n<p> The banyan is Fuzhou's symbolic city tree, and the tradition dates back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279), when Governor Zhang Boyu mobilized 197,000 households to plant them.</p>\n<p> Beyond parks, Fuzhou has also established 1,375 kilometers of greenways, known locally as fudao, or "paths to happiness", which have won prestigious honors such as the International Architecture Award, the President's Design Award Singapore and the Tien-yow Jeme Civil Engineering Prize.</p>\n<p> These scenic trails connect mountains, rivers, parks and urban streets, providing residents with open and safe access to green public spaces. Officials say they also offer new ideas for sustainable urban development.</p>\n<p> For instance, the 20-km greenway in Fushan Suburban Park links three mountains, 36 scenic spots, nearby residential areas and Fuzhou Software Park. "Taking a stroll during lunch break has become part of our daily routine," said a woman surnamed Huang, who works in the software park.</p>\n<p> "Many companies have set up their reception areas to face the park, and some business deals have even been sealed right on the path," Huang said.</p>\n<p> According to official data, Fuzhou's forest coverage reached 51.77 percent last year, the second-highest among all provincial capitals in China. Per capita park green space increased from 4.45 square meters in 1995 to 15.97 sq m in 2024, reflecting the city's steady progress in environmental stewardship.</p>\n<p> Last year, the city government released the Beautiful Fuzhou development plan (2023-35), setting out ambitious goals, guiding principles, and strategies.</p>\n<p> The plan envisions a city marked by harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, with foundational goals realized by 2030 and full implementation achieved by 2035.</p>\n<p></p>",

He once lived in the house for 10 years or so.</p>\n<p> The restoration project adhered to the "minimal intervention" principle, preserving the building's different architectural elements from the Ming and Qing dynasties as well as the Republic of China era (1912-49), said Yan Longhua, a professor from the Fujian University of Technology, who serves as the main designer of the Sanfang Qixiang protection and restoration project.</p>\n<p> To date, investment in the project has reached 5 billion yuan ($696.32 million). A restoration area of approximately 260,000 square meters has been completed.</p>\n<p> "We have placed a special focus on preserving the integrity of the neighborhood's layout and overall appearance, as well as the continuity of life, while emphasizing its close connection with modern city living, making it like an open history book within the urban landscape," Yan said.</p>\n<p> Currently, there are 30 cultural relic sites in Sanfang Qixiang under the protection, including 15 that are protected at the national level.</p>\n<p> <b>Inheritance and utilization</b></p>\n<p> While restoring and protecting the ancient buildings in the neighborhood, Fuzhou is committed to revitalizing their cultural value and fostering their sustainable development.</p>\n<p> The former residence of Yan Fu now has an exhibition of his life story and academic achievements. The old house that once hosted the New Fourth Army Fuzhou office has been transformed into an education base for the history of the Communist Party of China, dedicated to passing on the "Red spirit" to future generations.</p>\n<p> At present, Fuzhou has a total of 249 intangible cultural heritage items at city level and above, including Min Opera, Shoushan stone carving and cork painting, which was officially recognized as one of China's national intangible cultural heritage items in 2019.</p>\n<p> Guo Li, a fifth-generation inheritor of the cork painting technique, is running a painting and carving gallery in the neighborhood. As one of Fuzhou's three symbolic arts, the century-old craft is celebrated for its exquisite artistry and elegance.</p>\n<p> Using Chinese traditional carving techniques, Guo and her fellow artisans transform cork sheets into breathtaking lifelike miniatures — from figures and mountains to bustling villages.</p>\n<p> As well as admiring different artworks, tourists to the gallery can participate in workshops and try their hand at the cLine truncated

A restoration area of approximately 260,000 square meters has been completed.</p>\n<p> "We have placed a special focus on preserving the integrity of the neighborhood's layout and overall appearance, as well as the continuity of life, while emphasizing its close connection with modern city living, making it like an open history book within the urban landscape," Yan said.</p>\n<p> Currently, there are 30 cultural relic sites in Sanfang Qixiang under the protection, including 15 that are protected at the national level.</p>\n<p> <b>Inheritance and utilization</b></p>\n<p> While restoring and protecting the ancient buildings in the neighborhood, Fuzhou is committed to revitalizing their cultural value and fostering their sustainable development.</p>\n<p> The former residence of Yan Fu now has an exhibition of his life story and academic achievements. The old house that once hosted the New Fourth Army Fuzhou office has been transformed into an education base for the history of the Communist Party of China, dedicated to passing on the "Red spirit" to future generations.</p>\n<p> At present, Fuzhou has a total of 249 intangible cultural heritage items at city level and above, including Min Opera, Shoushan stone carving and cork painting, which was officially recognized as one of China's national intangible cultural heritage items in 2019.</p>\n<p> Guo Li, a fifth-generation inheritor of the cork painting technique, is running a painting and carving gallery in the neighborhood. As one of Fuzhou's three symbolic arts, the century-old craft is celebrated for its exquisite artistry and elegance.</p>\n<p> Using Chinese traditional carving techniques, Guo and her fellow artisans transform cork sheets into breathtaking lifelike miniatures — from figures and mountains to bustling villages.</p>\n<p> As well as admiring different artworks, tourists to the gallery can participate in workshops and try their hand at the craftLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> Those visiting Cangxia New Town in Fuzhou, Fujian province for the first time must be impressed by the beautiful environment and well-arranged residential buildings. It is hard to imagine that it's a resettlement community built more than 20 years ago.</p>\n<p> In the early 1990s, a popular saying at the time described Fuzhou as a "paper-pasted city", reflecting its harsh living environment. Cangxia was a typical old residential community at that time where most residents lived in cramped, dilapidated wooden houses.</p>\n<p> "Previously, our family of three had to share a wooden shack smaller than 9 square meters, and we weren't alone. Lots of families endured similar conditions," said local resident Tang Qingwang.</p>\n<p> "There were many safety hazards in such houses. What worried us most were heavy rainfall and fires," he added.</p>\n<p> The changes began on July 2, 2000, when a then senior official of the province, who is currently a top leader of China, led a team to conduct an inspection in Cangxia.</p>\n<p> Having learned about the situation, he told resident representatives at the meeting: "Please convey to the public that the government will ensure that things benefiting the people are done well."</p>\n<p> Seven days later, the Cangxia reconstruction project was officially launched. After one year, 42 new residential buildings had been constructed, providing new homes for nearly 10,000 residents across 3,441 households.</p>\n<p> Among them, Tang and his family members moved into a 60-sq-m apartment.</p>\n<p> "When I saw the safe, bright and cozy new home, I couldn't hold back my tears. After decades in that rundown shack, I never dreamed I could have such a wonderful apartment," Tang said.</p>\n<p> Official data showed the community's living area per capita increased by 52.2 percent to 13.7 sq m after the renovation project, while its total residential area expanded from 158,600 sq m to 208,800 sq m.</p>\n<p> The community didn't stop improving there. In 2021, a new renovation project was launched to optimize infrastructure facilities, increase green coverage and improve public services.</p>\n<p> "Our community has a high proportion of elderly residents and children," said the community's Party secretary Wang Lulu, adding that there was a strong demand for more accessible features, service facilities and a better environment.</p>\n<p> Through the project, a total of 46 open spaces spanning 24,900 sq m have been transformed into public service spaces, including an elderly canteen, a smart parking lot, and a childcare facility, according to Wang.</p>\n<p> "During the past 20 years or so, I have seen both the community and our lives getting better every day. That makes me feel very glad and proud," Tang said.</p>\n<p> In 2023, the renovation project earned the China Human Settlements and Environment Award, presented by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.</p>\n<p> From a rundown neighborhood to a modern community, Cangxia New Town epitomizes Fuzhou's urban construction achievements, showcasing its commitment to a livable city, local officials said. Adhering to the people-centered philosophy of development, the city has made sustained efforts to enhance people's living conditions and improve their livelihoods.</p>\n<p> Since 2000, Fuzhou's urban area has implemented 835 renovation projects in neighborhood clusters, demolishing 83.7 million sq m of old buildings, benefiting about 410,000 households and more than 1.2 million residents.</p>\n<p> The projects went beyond housing, addressing residents' needs by constructing parks, roads, hospitals and schools, while also improving waterways and alleviating traffic congestion.</p>\n<p> They are aimed at achieving an overall upgrade of the area, said an official from the city's housing and urban-rural development bureau.</p>\n<p> Between 2000-25, the per capita housing area in Fuzhou surged from less than 10 sq m to 51.6 sq m, according to the bureau.</p>\n<p></p>",
