1 01October1day, a conference will be held in Tiananmen Square to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). At present, preparations for the National Day in Beijing are in full swing. As an important section of the National Day military parade and the People's Military Parade, the first overhaul of Chang 'an Avenue in ten years was recently completed. Painting and restoration works such as Tiananmen Gate and observation deck are nearing completion. In addition, flower arranging activities have been carried out in Chang 'an Avenue, Tiananmen Square, Olympic Center and important urban landscape areas. It is estimated that there will be more than 40 million flowers in Beijing National Day, most of which are internationally popular flowers.
Beijing has launched a comprehensive high-standard security work, and the police and armed police have entered a state of actual combat. Recently, the postal department of Beijing has temporarily banned the acceptance and delivery of liquid products. The Beijing Radio Administration also said that during the National Day celebrations, local radio control will be implemented in some parts of Beijing.
Besides Beijing, preparations for the National Day in other parts of China are also proceeding in an orderly way.
While the government is making full efforts to prepare for the Daqing celebration, people all over China are welcoming the festival in their own different ways. The 60th anniversary of the National Day has penetrated into the details of people's lives. Everyone expresses their feelings for the National Day by carving, choreographing, holding singing competitions and sticking "National Day Car Logo" on private cars.
As the country with the largest number of netizens in the world, the "National Day fever" continues to heat up in the network. Major websites have set up interactive National Day columns to express congratulations and blessings on the 60th birthday of the motherland.
This afternoon 15, the National Day Press Center held a press conference with the theme of "National Day Activities Arrangement and Related Work in the Capital", and invited Jilin, Executive Vice Mayor of Beijing, to introduce the relevant situation and answer questions from reporters. The following is a text summary of the meeting:
Deputy Director of Zhu Guoqing Information Center:
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the press.
I am Zhu, deputy director of the National Day Press Center. Welcome to interview. The press center held its second press conference this afternoon. Today, we are very pleased to invite three guests from Beijing to meet with you, introduce the National Day activities and related work in the capital, and answer questions from reporters.
Next, I want to introduce three guests to you. Mr. Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor; Mr. Zhao Dongming, Deputy Commander of the National Day Gala Headquarters; Ms. Wang Yue, Executive Director of the National Day Mass Parade Command.
I'd like to ask the executive deputy mayor of Jilin City to introduce the relevant situation.
Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor:
Dear friends: Good afternoon, everyone.
At the request of media friends and the arrangement of the news center, I would like to briefly introduce some situations of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the National Day in the capital.
The celebration of the 60th anniversary of the National Day of the capital has been prepared for a long time, and it is progressing smoothly on the whole. Since the end of August, the National Day celebration has entered a very important stage, that is, the rehearsal and rehearsal stage.
From August 29th to September18th, Yi * * conducted four National Day activities drills in the region, which were fully reported by the media. I think we all know the basic situation. A drill was held on August 29th, mainly a military parade. On September 7, the military parade and the military parade conducted a joint training. On September 12, the party organization conducted an all-factor exercise, and on September 18, the military parade was held together with the military parade and celebration exercise.
The main task of these drills is to cooperate between running-in processes, especially to find problems so as to solve them in time. Judging from the actual effect of the drill, these goals have been achieved. At present, all preparations are basically ready.
Next, I would like to introduce some basic information about the National Day celebrations in the capital from five aspects. Mainly mass demonstrations, parties, garden activities, cultural activities and service guarantees.
First of all, I would like to introduce the preparations for the mass procession to you. This mass procession has a general name, called "I forge ahead with the motherland", which includes seven parts: struggle and entrepreneurship, reform and opening up, century crossing, scientific development, brilliant achievements, splendid china and bright future.
A mass procession has 36 squares, and six marching art performance teams, that is, six marching teams, are interspersed among the 36 squares to perform art performances.
As an important part of mass demonstrations, Tiananmen Square has some background performances. There are 1.8 million people participating in the parade and background performance.
In order to show more vividly the history of new China and the achievements of new China construction, some floats, including 60 cars, were arranged in the parade, some from various provinces and cities, and some from 34 regions including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
The design and arrangement of the whole mass procession are still very elaborate, with many highlights, which are embodied in five aspects: "shape, sound, color, scenery and meaning"
The so-called "shape" refers to 36 phalanxes and 6 marching art performance teams composed of 6.5438 million people, cheering and performing in an orderly manner. The momentum is grand and wonderful.
"Sound" means that there are choirs, national percussion bands and military bands in the square, and * * * plays 2 1 signature songs and melodies that are loved by the masses and reflect the characteristics of the times, which sets off the festive and warm atmosphere of the parade.
"Color" refers to all the people who take part in the parade. The uniform design of the clothes and the coordinated color matching form the effect of large color blocks on the scene, and the whole team presents a colorful scene.
"Scenery" means that in addition to the parade, there are some people in Tiananmen Square, mainly students, who turn over flowers to form patterns and slogans. Therefore, the background performances are very rich and varied, and combined with the performances of the parade, it is very spectacular.
The so-called "meaning" means that in addition to artistic appreciation, the background of the military parade is also thoughtful in conception, which constitutes a chapter of thought, achievement and future. Mainly through the military parade and the performance of the background, the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, especially the great achievements made in modernization since the reform and opening up, was displayed.
The parade will also show the achievements of local construction and development and the great unity of all ethnic groups in China, and show the blueprint and bright future of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's construction through youth teams and floats.
There are also some bright spots in the environmental layout of Tiananmen Square this year. Four large screens and 56 national unity columns are erected on both sides of Tiananmen Square and Monument. On the same day, 60 giant red palace lanterns will be made and arranged. At this point, preparations for all aspects of the military parade have been basically completed.
Let me give you a brief introduction to the preparations for the party.
The party will be held in Tiananmen Square on the evening of June 6th. There will be mass gatherings at the party, and a * * * is divided into 12 sections, that is, 12 areas, where the parties are held.
There is a central gathering area in front of Chang 'an Avenue and Jinshui Bridge, as well as a performance of "Light Cube" and fireworks display.
A prominent feature of this party is the setting off of fireworks. The fireworks display of the whole party consists of high, medium and low altitude fireworks, theme fireworks paintings and other special effects fireworks.
The mass party, the performance in the central area, the performance of the "Light Cube" and the fireworks show complement each other and form a complete party.
Nearly 10,000 people, participants from all walks of life and ethnic groups, as well as some specially invited actors and special effects fireworks staff attended the party. At present, all aspects of work are being carried out in an orderly manner according to the predetermined plan.
Let me give you a brief overview of the military parade and the party. If you need more details, please ask Mr. Zhao Dongming and Ms. Wang Yue to introduce them to you later.
In addition to parades and parties, during the festival, Beijing will also hold garden activities. Garden activities will be held in thousands of parks in Beijing on the 2nd and 3rd.
The content is also very rich, including landscape layout, exhibitions, sports performances, mass interaction, folk activities and so on. Some are big parks and famous parks, such as the Temple of Heaven, Beihai, Summer Palace and so on, and some are relatively small parks built in recent years, which are very convenient for mass activities.
During the National Day, there will be 160 theme parks, more than 300 ground planting areas, 30 special flower exhibitions, and 180 flower varieties, with a total flower consumption of about100000.
By then, the city's parks will also hold cultural performances, 60 cultural performances and more than 300 variety shows. Now, the rehearsal is in full swing.
There are also 60 mass interactions and about 500 projects. At present, the preparatory work is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and it is generally smooth.
Before and during the National Day, Beijing also arranged a series of cultural activities. These activities are mainly divided into three categories: one is the theme series of educational practice activities, the other is the people's propaganda group, and the third is cultural activities.
The theme of the series of educational practice activities is "love the motherland, love Beijing and love my hometown". There are more than 30 essay-writing speech contests, teenagers' theme practice activities, visiting experience activities, patriotic songs singing, cultural caravans entering the campus, etc. 130. More than one million citizens participated directly.
The people's propaganda group * * * has 50 lecturers, formed six sub-groups, and went deep into the city's organs, schools, enterprises, streets, towns, military camps and "two new" organizations, and also went deep into the grassroots level where migrant workers live in Beijing to give lectures, with a direct audience of more than100000.
A series of cultural activities are also colorful. Among them, there is an excellent stage play (festival) in Beijing to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, a large-scale solicitation of stories about the 60th anniversary of the founding of Hutong, a song and dance contest to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, a mass literary original works contest in Beijing to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China, and 23 items in the city.
Cultural activities will reach a climax during the National Day. From what I have introduced to you above, you can see that there are many activities in Beijing during the National Day. Ensuring the success of these activities is a very important task for governments at all levels, government departments and relevant organizations and enterprises.
Around the success of the National Day, the departments of electric power, communication, sanitation, public toilets, night lighting, radio communication, medical rescue, landscaping, etc. went all out to make plans and give full protection. This guarantee greatly supported the smooth progress of the previous stage of the exercise.
To welcome the 60th anniversary of the National Day, governments at all levels in Beijing and relevant parties have also carried out environmental remediation work. During the National Day activities, about 950,000 people participated in the National Day volunteer service.
The content of voluntary service is quite extensive. Let me give you some examples. Including eight categories of volunteers: volunteers for public security services in the capital, volunteers for transportation services, volunteers for special posts in celebration activities, volunteers for garden services, volunteers for cultural services, volunteers for demonstrating peripheral security services, volunteers for cities, and volunteers for group members of the Municipal Volunteers' Federation.
During the previous National Day exercise, these volunteers also took up their posts, and then the exercise was carried out.
In order to ensure the meteorological service during the drill, especially during the National Day, our meteorological department specially launched professional programs to forecast the weather in time. We adjusted the drill plan in time according to the weather forecast, which also ensured the smooth progress of the drill.
Other safeguards are also progressing smoothly. Let me give you a brief introduction. If you need to know anything else, you can ask questions. Mr. Zhao Dongming and Ms. Wang Yue and I will answer your questions.
Deputy Director of Zhu Guoqing Information Center:
Thanks to Mayor Ji for his introduction. The reporter can ask questions below. Due to the limited time, I hope that each reporter will only ask one question and ask the name of the media he belongs to.
AFP reporter:
My question is, in June 10, citizens are not allowed to go to Chang 'an Avenue to watch the parade, or do they need tickets or passes to watch it?
Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor:
10 The activities of the day were held in Tiananmen Square. The people who entered Tiananmen Square to watch the event were mainly ticket holders. The guests attending the ceremony were composed of people from all walks of life, including people around Tiananmen Square and residents' representatives. At that time, the media will broadcast the celebration live, and the general public will pay great attention to it, and will watch TV and other live broadcasts in various places.
CCTV reporter:
I would like to ask what kind of grand celebration will be held in the capital on 10? How can such a huge event not disturb the people?
Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor:
This is a common concern of all walks of life. The preparations for this National Day are all based on one principle, that is, we should make good preparations for the activities and minimize the disturbance to the people.
The possible disturbance to the people is mainly in two aspects: on the one hand, in order to ensure the smooth progress during the exercise and activities, traffic control should be carried out in a certain area. On the other hand, fireworks will be set off at the gala, which may have some influence on the residents around the square. In order to minimize the interference to residents' normal life and work, all aspects have made detailed arrangements.
In reducing the impact of traffic management measures on citizens' production and life, several measures have been taken: First, the time for assembling personnel and equipment should be reduced as much as possible, so that the time for traffic control can be shorter; Another important purpose of the four drills is to specifically test how long it will take to assemble these equipment and personnel on site. Practice has proved that after summing up and improving each drill, the assembly time will actually be greatly shortened in the next drill. Before each drill, the traffic control notice is issued by the public security traffic control department, and the notice is also published in detail as much as possible, so that everyone can know the news in advance and know the time and area of control more clearly, so as to arrange their own travel.
In order to reduce the impact on travel, the traffic control department has also innovated the ways and means of traffic control, and flexibly carried out traffic control according to the time and streamline of people and equipment gathering and traveling.
After each drill, we are very concerned about the feedback from the masses from various channels. The public in Beijing is very supportive of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the National Day. They still understand the traffic management measures taken in the exercise and fully affirm the measures taken by all parties to minimize the impact on the public. Therefore, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parties, the general public and the media for their understanding and support.
During the National Day Gala, we also took a special measure to set off fireworks, that is, the local government, including the district government, streets and neighborhood committees, temporarily arranged them to hotels and restaurants, or organized them to watch the broadcast of the Gala. After the party, after the fireworks, go back to your home.
People's Daily reporter:
What are the highlights and innovations of the National Day activities? Please introduce it. thank you
Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor:
I'd like to ask Ms. Betty Wong to answer this question for you.
Wang Yue, Executive Commander of the National Day Mass Parade Command: I am very happy to have the opportunity to share our current work with media friends here as a National Day staff member, and share our excitement, joy and touch in this work with more friends through you.
When asked about the highlights of the National Day mass procession, I personally think there are three highlights: the first highlight can reflect the ideological, artistic and mass nature of our activities through the grand mass procession and the grand square concert held in Chang 'an Avenue and Tiananmen Square.
Just now, Mayor Ji introduced that we will hear 5000 people's chorus, folk orchestra and military orchestra in the square, and they will bring us chorus, children's chorus and male and female solo, which I think will be refreshing.
The second highlight is that it embodies the people-oriented concept. The whole activity shows that the people are the masters of the country, and they are full of joy, self-confidence, pride and creativity in the process of participating in national construction.
The procession consists of representatives from all ethnic groups and circles. The people on the floats are model workers in all walks of life and ordinary builders in different historical periods in China.
The third highlight is that, with an open and friendly attitude, we praised a large number of overseas Chinese, returned students and foreign friends who helped us build and develop during the 60 years of development and construction of our country. They all walked in our team or on our floats to celebrate this National Day with us.
Just now I introduced three highlights in the whole scheme.
I also want to introduce three highlights of our organizational work to you.
The first highlight is the way we organize training. There are100000 people in the parade, and there are 80000 primary and middle school students in the background of the square. Each of our students participated in 65,438+000 hours of training.
This 100 hour training is divided into four stages, so that every participating mass representative and our young students can get neat results. We think it is very difficult. We used a simulation system, that is, before training, we simulated the whole process. During the training, we distributed the simulation system and CD-ROM to each school, and they could reach the training goal soon after watching the system.
We children who compose music backstage have to complete 49 changes in two hours. There are 49 changes in the composition and pattern of the whole square. These 49 changes are silent instructions. Where did the instructions come from? From the indicator on the square lamppost.
Through the use of these two small training systems, each of us who participated in the parade quickly mastered the method and found our own role and orientation, which was very effective.
The second highlight of the organization work is that many people around us, ordinary people and workers attending the celebration, all participated in this work with an attitude of Excellence.
For example, in order to prevent accidents in floats, there are several pushers hidden in each float, and once the vehicle explodes, it can ensure that the vehicle continues to move forward.
The third highlight is that we got very good service in several drills. Let me give you a small example. 0.2 million/200 thousand people are concentrated in an area less than two kilometers, and they may have to go to the toilet during peak hours. What will it be like?
The service department of our city has solved this problem for us very well. Dynamically adjust in several drills, track at any time, and respond in time.
I think we can successfully carry out several drills, which fully reflects the improvement of our urban management ability and urban service ability. thank you
Hong Kong TV reporter:
There are two questions to ask: first, there are a lot of traffic control in the rehearsal and this drill, so how much economic loss will it cause? Because many shops can't open, the tourism industry has been affected.
The second question, besides traffic control, we can actually feel that your monitoring has become more and more strict now. It seems that many netizens can't get on, and taxis will be monitored. Will those measures be strengthened on National Day?
Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor:
You asked two questions. Actually, I have answered the first question just now. This National Day celebration, whether during the exercise or during the holding period, must implement special traffic management measures for a certain area. In order to minimize the impact on the production, work and life of local residents and units, various parties have thought of many ways and taken many measures.
What we know at present is that the vast number of merchants and citizens in this area still understand these measures, and they are very supportive and actively participate in the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the National Day. We have a parade of100000 people, a background performance of 80000 people and a gala of nearly 60000 people. Quite a few participants are representatives of residents and units in this area.
I don't think your second question exists. I think you can go to Beijing to see more.
China Economic Net reporter:
My question is that this year's National Day is the first eight-day holiday, and Beijing will usher in a new round of tourism fever. How will Beijing respond and deploy? Is there a work plan and emergency plan to deal with the peak flow of people? thank you
Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor:
This year 1 1 month, we predict that a large number of domestic and foreign tourists will visit Beijing. In fact, it has already started, and the tourism boom will further drive Beijing's consumption and growth in all aspects.
This year's 11th is different from previous years. Although it happens every year, this year is a superposition of three factors. One is that the National Day itself is a long holiday. Second, it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival and takes one more day off than the National Day holiday in previous years. Third, this year is the 60th anniversary, and Beijing will hold a celebration. Tourists at home and abroad want to come to Beijing to experience the atmosphere here for themselves. Therefore, there will be more tourists then.
More tourists come to Beijing, which can let more people share the festive atmosphere of the 60th anniversary celebration of the founding of New China. It is conducive to stimulating Beijing's economic development, enhancing Beijing's overall image and promoting the improvement of government management. However, after all, the pressure brought by the large population is still relatively large, especially in terms of security.
Governments at all levels are fully aware of this, so in the days after the National Day celebration, they have made careful arrangements for urban and social management services and security work, including transportation, safe production, large-scale event order and food hygiene. Go all out to take advantage of the "East Wind" of the 60th anniversary celebration of the National Day, further strengthen the service and order maintenance, and provide good conditions and environment for people from all walks of life who come to Beijing for sightseeing.
China People's Broadcasting Station reporter:
I want to ask a question about the weather first. Now it seems that the humidity will be higher on the eleventh day, because there is a military parade, so everyone is very concerned about visibility. In terms of weather, if the visibility is poor, do we have some special or relatively high-tech measures to ensure the safety and viewing effect of the day?
In addition, please confirm with our relevant leaders. First, I read that the temporary observation deck can accommodate about 15000 people this year. I don't know if this number is the largest in the temporary viewing platform of National Day over the years.
China national radio reporter: There is another question about radio control, because I saw some news. As I said before, radio control seems to be more professional. What I am worried about is whether it will have a certain impact on people's use of mobile phones. Thank you.
Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor:
I can answer your three questions from back to front.
Use radio control to celebrate the smooth progress of the event. This is a convention. During large-scale activities, the radio frequency in a certain area should be controlled to avoid mutual interference between signals and affect the normal conduct of major activities. But radio control, as you just said, is very professional and has no effect on the mobile phones we usually use.
Another question, the temporary viewing platform for the National Day has been set up, and it has been used in the rehearsal of September 18, and the overall effect is good. Just now, you asked the temporary viewing platform to arrange the attendance for 15000 people. I think this figure is relatively accurate, and there may be some changes according to the specific situation of invited guests, but I don't think this change will be too big.
Compared with the celebration of the 50th National Day, I really haven't compared it, so I can't answer your question accurately. However, judging from the layout of the temporary viewing platform, both the 60th anniversary and 50th anniversary have changed. On the 50th anniversary, there was a temporary observation deck at the entrance of Beijing Hotel, but it is gone this year. In my impression, on the 50th National Day, there was also a group of viewing platforms at the north gate of the History Museum, but this year, there is none. This year's temporary viewing platform is mainly in front of Jinshui Bridge and outside the north gate of the General Assembly Hall, just these two places.
The weather is a matter of great concern to all parties. Everyone hopes that it will be a fine day, the sun is shining and the sky is blue, and our celebration can be held smoothly. What should I do if I encounter bad weather? Our meteorological departments and experts, as well as various aspects, are studying and formulating plans. This question is very professional, and I think what kind of scheme to adopt is also very professional. Anyway, I think one thing is clear, that is, when conditions are met, measures will be taken to eliminate clouds and rain. Do our best to ensure the smooth progress of our celebration activities and reduce the influence of unfavorable meteorological conditions on the celebration activities.
Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao reporter:
I want to ask Mayor Ji a question. Do we have a rough budget for this National Day activity from preparation to final holding? Have we introduced auditing? Another problem is that you just mentioned the security issue. There was a stabbing at the front door some time ago. How is the investigation going now? How did the suspect handle it? thank you
Jilin, member of the Standing Committee of Beijing Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor:
In this National Day celebration, the policy of the CPC Central Committee is very clear, and the general policy is "grand, festive, thrifty and peaceful". In the preparatory process, all our activities follow this policy.
Grand, festive and peaceful, I think you will have some perceptual knowledge through the introduction just now. I can introduce several aspects about the implementation of frugality policy.
First of all, the number of people in this National Day activity has been greatly reduced. On the 50th anniversary of the National Day, there were 240,000 people in the backstage and square of the military parade, and this time it was 1.8 million. Secondly, the scale of this parade float has also been greatly reduced. Just now, I introduced you. This time, there are 60 floats. On the 50th anniversary, a * * * was 90 vehicles, much less than on the 50th anniversary. Third, the exercise time has also been compressed. Just now, I gave you an introduction and conducted four drills on August 29th, September 7th, September 12 and September 18 respectively. It was originally planned that there would be another drill on September 26th after September 18. According to the situation of these four drills, it is particularly necessary to minimize the impact on citizens' work and life and implement thrift.
We put forward strict requirements for controlling all aspects of expenditure. For example, the chassis of 60 floats has not been modified, which is conducive to the continued use of these vehicles after the National Day activities. Our requirement is to rent some equipment used in celebration activities, not to buy it. So you can see that the four large screens and some other equipment erected in the square are rented from relevant manufacturers, and the cost will be much lower. The funds applied by various departments and the use of funds must be strictly evaluated, and they must be strictly reviewed and supervised afterwards.
Just now, you mentioned the murder with a knife in the front gate Dashilan. After the incident, China's public security organs announced the situation and current progress to the society and the media. The suspect is from Jilin City, Jilin Province. He was drunk and made trouble in his hometown many times, and was murdered with a knife in a drunken state that night. After the incident, the municipal party Committee and municipal government attached great importance to it and carried out the aftermath in time. Several leaders, including me, personally went to the hospital to visit the injured. At present, the aftermath is progressing smoothly and the injured are not life-threatening. The judicial organs have initiated judicial procedures to deal with suspects. thank you
