00:00:39Hello everyone, this is CCTV News Channel at 11 am. Welcome to this news live broadcast.
00:00:43The spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command, Colonel Zhai Shichen,
00:00:46stated that from August 21st to 25th, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Southern Theater Command
00:00:50organized air and sea forces to conduct patrols in the South China Sea.
00:00:54The Philippines has been pulling in countries outside the region to conduct so-called joint patrols in the South
00:00:58China Sea, undermining regional peace and stability.
00:01:02The troops of the theater command will resolutely defend national territorial sovereignty and maritime
00:01:06rights and interests, and firmly maintain regional peace and stability.
00:01:10The State Council Information Office held a series of themed press conferences
00:01:13this morning. Relevant officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated at the press conference
00:01:16that as of now, many application scenarios of artificial intelligence have vividly emerged, and nearly
00:01:20200 key artificial intelligence standards have been successfully implemented. The news live broadcast
00:01:24room will closely follow more news from this press conference.
00:01:28The State Council Information Office held a press conference yesterday. The Ministry of Commerce introduced
00:01:32that the 26th China International Investment and Trade Fair
00:01:35will be held in Xiamen, Fujian from September 8th to 11th.
00:01:39During the 26th China International Investment and Trade Fair,
00:01:43a series of "Invest in China" activities will be held to communicate policy trends,
00:01:46promote industrial docking, and enhance the "Invest in China" brand.
00:01:50The voting will be "Invest in China." More than half of them are located in the mountains
00:01:54of Tibet, with complex geological structures and changing climates, making construction extremely difficult. One-third of our entire project is in Tibet,
00:01:58and all of it is above 3,000 meters.
00:02:49It has been in the northern Gulf for many days, and landed on the coast of Changjiang County, Hainan yesterday evening. It made landfall again
00:02:53on the coast of Xuwen County, Guangdong this morning. At the same time as it brought heavy rainfall,
00:02:57Typhoon Saudel, the 18th typhoon of this year, entered the East China Sea this morning.
00:03:50It is expected that Saudel will gradually approach the coast of Fujian. Where will
00:03:54Typhoon Saudel make landfall in the future? How will the two typhoons develop? What areas will they bring strong winds
00:03:58and impacts to? Let's take a look. We will now connect to Liu Lulu, a reporter from CCTV at the Central Meteorological
00:04:02Observatory's weather meeting room. Okay, anchor, I am currently at the Central Meteorological
00:04:06Observatory's weather meeting room. We will enter a 24-hour alert
00:04:10line. The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a red typhoon warning this morning.
00:04:13For specific information about Saudel and the impact of the typhoon on our country's wind
00:04:17and rain, we have invited the chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory.
00:04:18It made landfall with a force of
00:04:26eight-level winds. It weakened into a tropical depression at 5 o'clock
00:05:00in the morning. We see that the tropical depression that weakened is currently located about
00:05:0475 kilometers southwest of Maoming, Guangdong, at 8 o'clock.
00:05:08Affected by the combined effects of the tropical depression and the typhoon,
00:05:11from yesterday to today,
00:05:42Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan experienced
00:05:45heavy rainfall. The maximum hourly rainfall occurred in
00:05:49Pingtung County, Taiwan Province, with 11 millimeters. In addition,
00:05:53affected by the combined effects of the tropical depression and Saudel,
00:05:57the coastal areas from East China to South China also experienced strong winds of six to eight levels, with a maximum wind speed
00:06:01of 11 levels. At 10 o'clock this morning, the Central Meteorological Observatory
00:06:04continued to issue a red typhoon warning. We predict that Saudel will move
00:06:08northwestward at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour.
00:06:12The intensity will not change much. It will turn southwestward
00:06:16from the morning of the 27th. Among them, the southeast
00:06:20and northeast of Zhejiang will experience torrential rains. The cumulative rainfall in these areas will be...
00:06:24The National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center issued a red alert for coastal waves.
00:06:27Currently, Typhoon Saudel is continuing to approach the eastern coast of our country,
00:06:31reminding ships operating in relevant sea areas to return to port. Affected by Typhoon Saudel, Ningde,
00:06:35Fujian has been continuously raining since yesterday. The local government activated a
00:06:39Level 4 typhoon emergency response yesterday, and maintained a Level 3 flood
00:08:07control emergency response. What is the local weather situation currently?
00:08:10According to the requirements of the typhoon, all personnel
00:09:26on the fish farm must complete evacuation before 12:00 noon today.
00:09:29Let's take a look at
00:09:35the net cage next to me. It is a square net cage
00:09:38of 5 by 5 meters, and its material is plastic.
00:10:12Compared with the previous wooden net cage, its wind and wave resistance performance
00:10:16will be better. Considering the severity of this typhoon, these net cage
00:10:20farmers have already connected all 190 odd net cages
00:10:24with ropes to enhance
00:10:58their wind resistance. Now, everyone can see that the staff
00:11:02are carefully checking all the net cages.
00:11:06The primary task is to check the connection between the rope and the net cage,
00:11:10to see if the rope is damaged or loose.
00:11:14At the same time, all the ropes must be collected and tightened.
00:11:18In this way, the force exerted on the entire fish farm will be more
00:11:22even. The second thing to focus on is the underwater
00:11:25fishing net. As you can see, because the fishing net has been
00:11:29immersed in seawater for a long time, it is easy for some weeds
00:11:33and even some shells to appear on it. If the wind and waves on the sea
00:11:37strengthen, this old or damaged net may further tear, causing
00:11:40the fish to escape. So, you can see that
00:11:44there are staff members pulling up the net to carefully check
00:11:48and replace the damaged net in time. At the same time, you can also see
00:11:52some to prevent it from spinning too fast in the wind and causing
00:11:55damage. At the same time, you can also see that the fishermen are using
00:11:59a tugboat and thick ropes to move the offshore houses
00:12:03to a sheltered area for safety. We are located
00:12:07with three reservoirs whose water levels have risen sharply. According to relevant flood control requirements, the three reservoirs
00:12:11have opened their gates to discharge floods. It is expected that the water level will drop below the flood control level
00:12:15tonight. Since the rain has not stopped, relevant departments have launched
00:12:18an emergency response to conduct safety inspections of all 11 reservoirs in the city.
00:12:22Currently, the wind and waves on the sea are gradually increasing. To ensure safety,
00:13:11all coastal police districts and points have been closed.
00:13:15Staff members have placed warning signs and pulled up warning lines in key coastal areas,
00:13:19and have dispatched more personnel to persuade the public to leave.
00:13:22Yesterday, Longyan City, Fujian
00:14:04experienced continuous heavy rainfall. Many low-lying sections of roads in the urban area and residential areas
00:14:08were severely waterlogged, and many people were trapped. Fire and rescue personnel urgently
00:14:11transferred the trapped public. In a residential area in Xinluo District, Longyan City,
00:14:15Fujian, continuous rainfall caused widespread waterlogging. An elderly person
00:14:19was trapped in the house due to mobility issues. After receiving the alarm, firefighters quickly
00:14:23responded. In response to Typhoon Saudel, the 18th typhoon of this year,
00:14:27the Zhejiang Provincial Flood Control, Typhoon and Drought Relief Headquarters raised the typhoon
00:14:30emergency response to Level 3 at 8 p.m. last night, requiring all localities and departments
00:14:34to closely monitor the development and changes of the typhoon, and further improve monitoring,
00:14:38forecasting, early warning, risk assessment and control, personnel evacuation and other
00:14:41work, to effectively ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
00:14:45The meteorological department forecast that from tonight onwards, the wind force
00:14:49on the central and southern coastal waters of Zhejiang Province will gradually increase to above Level 9,
00:14:53and coastal areas will experience heavy
00:15:38rain. The Canadian federal government announced
00:15:42on the 25th that it will impose retaliatory tariffs on more than 700
00:15:45types of American goods worth 27.6 billion Canadian dollars, or about 20 billion
00:15:49US dollars. At the same time, it launched a 7.5 billion Canadian
00:15:53dollar aid plan for businesses and workers. Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau
00:15:57stated on the 25th that the total value of American goods affected by the retaliatory
00:16:00tariffs is equivalent to the 50% tariffs imposed by the United States on Canada.
00:16:04This achieves equivalent retaliation. Canada's tariff retaliation measures will
00:18:38officially take effect on September 8th. According to the list of retaliatory tariffs
00:18:42released by the Canadian Ministry of Finance, the retaliatory tariffs mainly focus on steel,
00:18:46dairy products, home appliances, and agricultural equipment, with tax rates
00:18:50of 15%, 25%, and 50%.
00:18:52Among them, most steel products imported from the United
00:18:56States will see tariffs increase from 25% to 50%.
00:19:00Dairy products such as milk and seafood will be subject to
00:19:03a 125% tariff. In addition to retaliatory tariffs, the Canadian government also announced
00:19:07a 7.5 billion Canadian dollar aid plan, focusing on supporting small and medium-sized
00:19:11enterprises affected by the trade war, providing investment and liquidity
00:19:15support to businesses. In terms of labor protection, the government will help
00:19:19businesses avoid layoffs, allowing more employees to upgrade their skills
00:19:22or receive retraining, and at the same time increase the flexibility of unemployment
00:19:25insurance benefits. U.S.-Canada trade talks. Let's look at the observations
00:19:29reported by CCTV reporters from the United States. Analysis believes that this North American
00:19:32trade war will quickly escalate from a policy dispute into a huge
00:19:35shock to the real economy. In fact, compared to the cold macroeconomic
00:19:39data, in several border states between the United States and Canada,
00:19:43industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and supply chains will successively bear
00:19:46the most direct impact. The most severe impact will actually be
00:19:50seen in. In Minnesota, local powerful industries,
00:19:54industrial machinery, and agricultural equipment are all highly dependent on Canadian raw materials
00:19:58and electricity imports. In another border state, Maine, due to high tariffs,
00:20:02the traffic flow at the nearby border will sharply decline. Then, the local
00:20:06lumber processing plants will be forced
00:21:02to cut production. A large number of small and medium-sized enterprises will directly
00:21:05face. The plight of these border states actually
00:21:09confirms some conclusions of authoritative US think tanks. Data from the Peterson
00:21:13Institute for International Economics and the Tax Foundation indicate
00:21:17that the deep binding of the industrial chains between the US and Canada
00:22:09for over a hundred years has led to US importers and local
00:22:13consumers ultimately bearing nearly 90% of the pressure from
00:22:17rising tariff costs. So, tariffs have failed to
00:22:29protect domestic industries, but instead have evolved into an implicit punishment
00:22:33for US border states, businesses, and residents. It is estimated
00:22:37that the average American family will face an additional living
00:22:41expense of about 840 to 900 US dollars per year.
00:22:44Under the US's increasing pressure of tariffs and other means,
00:22:48Canada has chosen to retaliate in kind, imposing retaliatory tariffs on about
00:22:5220 billion US dollars worth of American goods. So, under US pressure,
00:22:55why did Canada choose to take a tough stance against the United States?
00:22:59Let's listen to the analysis and interpretation of our special commentator, Su Xiaohui.
00:23:03Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chose to stand firm against US President
00:23:06Donald Trump's constant pressure. Trudeau's confidence stems precisely
00:23:10from the fact that Trump's increasing pressure has already created a huge
00:23:14effect within Canada. Public opinion supports the government withdrawing from negotiations
00:23:18with the US and rejecting higher
00:23:20demands from the US, while various political parties support the government maintaining a tough
00:23:24stance towards the US. Therefore, at this time, Trudeau sees a greater
00:23:28possibility of further promoting diversified cooperation and reducing reliance on the US,
00:23:32and then facing US pressure later. At the same time, Canada has
00:23:36no room to retreat in terms of national sovereignty and dignity.
00:23:40In 2025, Canada experienced political turmoil. Trudeau's predecessor
00:23:44was forced to step down, and Trudeau himself led the Liberal Party to victory again.
00:23:48In such a changing situation,
00:23:55a significant variable was, of course, the external impact brought by US President
00:23:59Trump. When Trump repeatedly claimed that Canada should become the
00:24:0351st state of the United States, this severely hurt the dignity of
00:24:06the Canadian people and caused public doubts about whether the government
00:24:10could maintain its sovereignty. Therefore, Trudeau gained public
00:24:14support by demonstrating his determination and will to fight, and will
00:24:18continue to maintain his stance and negotiate with the United States.
00:24:22At the same time, for Trudeau, he saw that if Canada's foreign
00:24:25strategy was imbalanced, it would incur greater backlash. Currently, between
00:24:29the US and Canada in this tariff trade war, the US is still
00:24:33exerting pressure. If Canada compromises, it could lead to...
00:24:37According to experts, the new tariffs will have little short-term impact
00:24:41on Canada, but if they persist in the long term, Canada will lose
00:24:44tens of thousands of jobs, and inflation will rise. For the United States,
00:24:48the new tariffs will increase
00:26:09the operating costs of American households and businesses, exacerbating
00:26:12inflation. Some analysts believe that trade
00:26:16frictions between the two countries have played out many times, and it
00:26:20is expected that both sides will resume trade negotiations or push for
00:26:24some kind of agreement due to their respective economic impacts.
00:26:28Second, there is political maneuvering. Currently, it is generally believed
00:26:31that the Trump administration will bear greater political pressure.
00:26:35On the Canadian side, trade countermeasures against the US have overwhelming domestic
00:26:39political support, receiving widespread support from all political parties,
00:26:43including the opposition. More than 70% of the public supports withdrawing
00:26:47from trade negotiations. For Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, being tough
00:26:50on the US significantly boosted his approval rating. The US's
00:26:54imposition of new tariffs on Canada was opposed by most people
00:26:58in the business community. Opponents included not only Democrats, but also many
00:27:02Republican lawmakers and governors who were worried about losing in the
00:27:06November midterm elections. The British Economist article pointed out that
00:27:09as the US midterm elections approach, the impact of new tariffs will
00:27:13further reflect in US inflation, business operations, and employment pressure.
00:27:17Trudeau's strategy is to turn these issues into a wave of domestic
00:27:21political shock in the US, ultimately forcing the Trump administration
00:27:25back to the negotiating table. Finally, there is the contest of
00:27:29influence and who controls the leadership of the negotiations?
00:27:32First, there is internal confusion in the US negotiating team's leadership.
00:27:36Trudeau stated after the breakdown of negotiations that the US government's attitude
00:27:40was not unified, implying that the Canadian side received conflicting, or even contradictory,
00:27:44information from US Trade Representative Lighthizer and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
00:27:48Second, the US seeks to dominate the agenda.
00:27:51It faces increasing resistance. Trudeau said that the US tried to
00:27:55limit Canada's ability to conclude trade agreements independently with other
00:27:59countries, but Canada stated that any agreement reached with the US
00:28:03must not limit its ability in this regard. Analysts believe
00:28:07that the US often seeks to achieve long-arm jurisdiction
00:28:11in trade by requiring restrictions on cooperation with third parties,
00:28:15but more and more trading partners are becoming highly vigilant
00:28:19about this US practice. As the trade conflict between the
00:28:23United States and Canada continues to escalate, US President Donald Trump announced
00:28:27on the 25th that he was considering renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake
00:28:31America." Trump stated on social media that day that the United
00:28:35States was seriously considering renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America"
00:28:38because the United States did not expect to have much business
00:28:42dealings with Ontario, Canada, in the future. Lake Ontario is
00:28:46one of the five Great Lakes in North America, located at the
00:28:50border between the United States and Canada. The lake area borders Ontario, Canada,
00:28:54to the north and New York State, USA, to the south.
00:28:58They are outright destroyers of cross-strait peace and creators of the Taiwan Strait crisis. Zhang Han pointed out that he warns
00:29:02Lai Ching-te and the DPP
00:29:39authorities that the great cause of unification is irresistible, and seeking independence
00:29:42through force will accelerate their demise. He hopes that the vast
00:29:46majority of Taiwan compatriots will join us in resolutely opposing Taiwan independence
00:29:50and separatism, and take practical actions to safeguard their own
00:29:54safety, happiness, and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
00:29:57Let's continue to pay attention to the press conference held by the State
00:30:01Council Information Office this morning.
00:30:32increased to 34.7 trillion yuan, but the proportion of GDP remained
00:30:36at around 25%. Vigorously develop advanced manufacturing,
00:30:40and continuously promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
00:30:44Deepen and promote the special action of artificial intelligence and
00:30:47manufacturing. Accelerate the comprehensive
00:30:50and chain-wide popularization and application of a new generation of information
00:30:54technology, and promote the digital and green and low-carbon transformation
00:30:57of the manufacturing industry. The person in charge of the Ministry
00:31:01of Industry and Information Technology stated that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period,
00:31:05we will promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial
00:31:08innovation, strengthen the construction of public technical service platforms and medium-sized
00:31:12platforms, and promote the acceleration of original technologies.
00:31:41The recent movie "Welcome to Long Restaurant" tells the story of Chinese people opening restaurants overseas, but unlike the personal struggles of the movie's protagonist Xu Fu, domestic catering enterprises are now going overseas in groups. In Singapore's core business district,
00:31:45Orchard Road, entering a large shopping mall, Chinese chain
00:31:49catering brands are everywhere. The reporter counted
00:31:53more than ten, including tea, spicy hot pot, sauerkraut fish, noodles,
00:31:56and dumplings. Familiar brands in domestic shopping malls
00:32:00are all here. The stores are also very popular. The reporter also
00:32:04encountered a pet flash mob event organized by a Chinese
00:32:07milk tea shop, which attracted many local residents. I have already
00:32:11brought my dog here to play for the second time. I know
00:33:12this is. In addition to milk tea, Chinese water
00:33:16and other products have also accelerated their entry into the international market.
00:33:19Data shows that as of August 2025,
00:33:2385 Chinese catering brands have entered Singapore,
00:33:26opening 405 stores, of which more than 40%
00:33:30are located in communities. Although Chinese catering brands
00:33:33are now blooming globally, many years ago, Chinese food going
00:33:37overseas mainly relied on the skills of chefs, and inconsistent tastes often led to
00:33:40acclimatization problems. So how do Chinese food brands succeed
00:33:44overseas now?
00:34:31It will not be affected by the level of local chefs and franchisees. After locking in the Chinese flavor, we will make regional micro adjustments. For example, in some Southeast Asian countries,
00:34:34we have added Tom Yum
00:34:40Kung flavor. From adding ingredients to serving, including how to match the seasonings, it's all recorded.
00:34:44So that our overseas staff can learn how to make mala and how to prepare it.
00:35:01Breaking through in dozens of countries.
00:35:06Many viewers who watched "Welcome to Long Restaurant"
00:35:45were touched by the plot of eating well no matter when or
00:35:47where. Nowadays, overseas Chinese restaurants not only provide delicious food, but also
00:35:51become new scenes for experiencing Chinese life.
00:35:55Walking into this hot pot restaurant, the lively decor,
00:35:59and hot, smoky atmosphere are full of rich Chinese flavor.

00:36:04Tasnim News Agency of Iran reported that sources said Iran
00:36:08on the 24th had clearly stated its position to Pakistan's
00:36:10Chief of Army Staff Munir
00:36:13during his visit.
00:38:11The conditions proposed by Iran include the United States complying with previous
00:38:14agreements, including arrangements for Iran's management
00:38:18of the Strait of Hormuz. Sources said Pakistan is seeking to convey
00:38:22the above conditions to the United States. According to several Pakistani sources,
00:38:26US President Trump had a phone
00:38:42conversation with Munir before he set off for Iran, hoping
00:38:45Pakistan would use its influence to persuade Iran to return
00:38:49to the negotiating table. The Iranian Presidential Office stated
00:38:53on the 24th that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said during his
00:38:57meeting with Munir that the United States should change its rhetoric and actions
00:39:01when dealing with Iran, and relying on power and hegemony will
00:39:05only complicate the process. Pakistan announced on the 25th
00:39:09that Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Munir and Interior Minister
00:39:12Naqvi concluded their one-day visit to Iran.
00:39:16Naqvi said that day that the meeting between the Pakistani
00:39:20side and the Iranian president was fruitful. During the visit,
00:39:24the two sides discussed security. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced
00:40:33on the 24th that the US launched a new round of sanctions
00:40:37against Iran's economic isolation that day. The US claimed that the new
00:40:41round of sanctions against Iran was aimed at cutting off Iran's
00:40:44financial sources and isolating Iran. In response, Iranian energy
00:40:48sector experts said that US sanctions are a hegemony against other countries,
00:40:52and people all over the world will pay for its irresponsible
00:40:56behavior.
00:40:58Regarding the energy sector, which is the focus of US sanctions, Iranian energy sector
00:41:02expert Ali Karimi pointed out that Iran's oil and natural
00:41:06gas reserves rank among the top in the world. Therefore,
00:41:10Iran can ensure a stable supply of domestic energy.
00:41:13However, if the United States excludes Iran from the world energy
00:41:17market through sanctions, the result will be reversed, affecting many
00:41:21countries, including European countries. When you remove Iranian oil,
00:41:25it must be produced from another point or replaced. When
00:41:29it is not replaced, the cost of gas and oil in the world
00:41:32increases, and the cost of this behavior is paid by
00:41:36all the people of the world, and if no other
00:41:40behavior happens, for example, let's assume Iran does not allow
00:41:43its oil to pass through the تنگه or
00:41:47LPG to pass through the تنگه, the cost
00:41:50of gas, oil, and low fuels in Europe and
00:41:54other places will increase. Unilateral actions currently bring.
00:42:40Mhran became, but in any case,
00:42:43we are among the best producers of gasoline
00:42:46in the world, but if we have suffered some damage due to
00:42:50the war or the same thing has happened to us in petrochemical
00:42:54products, we can compensate for some of it, and
00:42:57Iran has shown that at least after
00:43:00these recent events, they should, in my opinion,
00:43:04shorten or set aside
00:43:05or interact towards
00:43:10dialogue and interaction. on the 25th, Russia has repeatedly
00:43:14stated that the deployment of troops by NATO countries on Ukrainian
00:43:17territory is unacceptable to Russia. Peskov said that it is
00:43:21not the first time that there have been rumors of NATO intending
00:43:25to deploy troops in Ukraine. Although the accompanying condition this
00:43:28time is after the conflict ends, Russia has repeatedly reiterated its position
00:43:32at various levels. The deployment of NATO country troops is unacceptable
00:43:36to Russia. He said that Western politicians continue to treat
00:43:56Russia with an aggressive and warmongering attitude. In this situation,
00:44:00a village in Aude, southern France, was hit by a
00:44:04tornado on the 24th. According to French media reports,
00:44:06the tornado caused 41 injuries
00:44:09and damaged about 300 homes. The Aude prefectural government announced
00:44:13that day that the village has a population of about one thousand people.
00:44:16The tornado caused some house roofs to be blown off.
00:44:20Affected by the fallen trees, many provincial roads were cut off.
00:44:24Power outages occurred in many areas of Aude. As of
00:44:28early morning on the 25th local time, about 1,400 households
00:44:31were without power. Two temporary shelters have been opened in
00:44:35the area. Currently, over 120 emergency personnel are on site
00:44:37carrying out rescue and safety
00:44:40inspection work. And so I got a tile and five
00:44:44stitches, so you're in the hospital, I went to the hospital,
00:44:48that's it, yesterday and I came back at 11pm, with
00:44:51a lot of people, it's a disaster, he's
00:44:54less fortunate than me, but it's still it's still,
00:45:09well, it's painful. France has been
00:45:55hit by storms for many days, with 20 southern
00:45:59provinces under storm warnings. French Transport Minister Bar
00:46:03Bi landed on the coast of Changjiang County, Hainan yesterday evening and then on the coast of Xuwen County, Guangdong this morning. The news live broadcast will continue
00:46:07to follow the wind and rain impacts brought by this event.
00:46:31In May this year, Yin Yuzhen, who has been fighting desertification
00:46:35and planting trees in the Mu Us Desert, found an American named Koksi.
00:46:39What kind of agreement is hidden behind this? Let's take a look. On August 23rd, Yin Yuzhen met Koksi from the other side of the ocean at the Ordos Ejina Horo Airport. Their story
00:46:43begins in the depths of the sandstorms. Yin Yuzhen,
00:46:4760 years old this year, has been fighting desertification
00:46:50and planting trees in the Mu
00:46:58Us Sandy Land for 41 years.
00:47:00In 1985, at the age of
00:47:0219, he came from Shaanxi.
00:47:06At that time, this place was barren and lifeless.
00:47:10When a wind came, I couldn't even find my way home.
00:48:14Yin Yuzhen wanted to control the desert. At that time, he and his husband invested everything.
00:48:18This perseverance allowed their story to spread beyond the desert, including in 1999.
00:48:22He saw Yin Yuzhen's story in a
00:49:02CCTV report.
00:49:07He raised 500 dollars to help Yin Yuzhen plant trees.
00:49:13This 5,000 dollars was the first large sum Yin Yuzhen received.
00:49:13He kept one dollar as a souvenir, and bought all the rest of the saplings.
00:49:23In 2000, Rox first came to Maowusu and met Yin, and also went to his tree nursery to check. At that time, the two could not
00:49:26communicate. Yin Yuzhen remembered his name by pronunciation, Koksi.
00:49:30Although the name was wrong, Yin Yuzhen regarded this agreement
00:49:34as a promise that crossed mountains and seas.
00:49:38After that meeting, the two lost contact.
00:49:41For the next 20 years, Yin Yuzhen and her family stayed
00:49:45in the desert, planting trees day after day. Today, this place
00:49:49is a vibrant oasis. In May this year,
00:49:55she recorded a video of searching for people, looking for
00:49:59distant relatives for the oasis. The video quickly
00:50:02swept the entire network, and countless people forwarded it.
00:50:06Hello, Koksi. If you can see
00:50:10this video, I also sincerely invite you to return to China
00:50:14and see the efforts you made with the dollars
00:50:17you supported back then that made this green. Just 26 hours
00:50:21after the video was released,
00:51:42a response came from the other side of the ocean.
00:51:46The two old friends hugged
00:51:47each other tightly. The 26-year
00:51:54wait finally came to an end.
00:51:56The two people,
00:52:00first of all, both did this good deed out of kindness.
00:52:03The things the two people did were
00:52:35different, but their goals were the same. So, in this matter,
00:52:38'I saw pictures, I
00:52:42was told all about it, but until you
00:52:44see it is when you realize that
00:52:48it's real, that it's real, people aren't just telling
00:52:52you stories, you
00:52:56can touch it, I mean
00:53:17it, I touch the tree,
00:53:21Over 20 years have passed, and the saplings pointed out back then have grown into large trees. In every planting of trees,
00:53:25what is planted is not just saplings, but also a deep
00:53:28friendship that transcends mountains, seas, and national borders,
00:53:32and spans across the long river of time.
00:54:06In 2000, Yin Yuzhen and her husband and Koksi
00:54:10held a sapling and left a photo on the sandy
00:54:14land. 26 years
00:54:18later, $5,000 was the first
00:54:21large sum Yin Yuzhen received. On her journey of
00:54:25desertification control, many others also lent a helping
00:54:29hand. Over 41 years, she has successively received support
00:54:33from various government departments and social forces, cumulatively
00:54:36afforesting over 70,000 mu
00:54:41and planting over 8 million trees. Yin Yuzhen's
00:54:45story is just one point on the map of desertification
00:54:49control in the Mu Us Sandy Land. In the 1950s,
00:54:52in 1978, China's Three-North Shelterbelt Program was launched.
00:54:55After decades of management, the overall forest coverage rate
00:54:59and vegetation coverage rate have increased from 2.6%
00:55:02and 18% to
00:56:0532.92% and 85%.
00:56:08The total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry,
00:56:12and fishery industries reached 4.82 billion yuan, achieving
00:56:16a transformation from desert advance to human retreat.
00:56:20Her son has already started planting trees with drones. She
00:56:24still has many stories she hasn't had time to tell.
00:56:27The time they spent together was short, but their affection
00:56:31is long, and the story of desertification control will continue.
00:57:21Let's continue to pay attention to the series of themed press conferences
00:57:24held by the State Council Information
00:57:26Office this morning. The relevant
00:57:31person in charge of the Ministry of Industry
00:57:32and Information Technology stated that since the
00:57:3814th Five-Year Plan, the popularization rate of artificial intelligence technology
00:57:42in manufacturing enterprises above designated size has exceeded 30%,
00:57:45and a cumulative number of facilities have been built.
