It can be high-level, calm, eloquent, or relaxed, with deep reasoning and vivid words, and it can express "thoughtful knowledge" and "transmissible truths."

Zhang Yaojun, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Archives Utilization Service Department, said that the second season of "Let's Talk about Great Changes" uses multiple dimensions such as Chinese-style modernization and whole-process people's democracy to explain in a profound and simple way the essence and profound meaning of General Secretary Xi Jinping's conclusion in the 20th National Congress report of the Communist Party of China: "Why the Communist Party of China can do it, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, in the final analysis, it is the practice of Marxism, and it is the practice of Marxism adapted to the times." As an archivist, we will keep in mind the responsibilities and mission of “managing archives for the Party, preserving history for the country, and serving the people”, continue the red blood, inherit the glory of the city, and tell the story of Shanghai well.

's interpretation of "dramatic changes" is filled with real feelings.
"Standing here, what I see is that Lujiazui used to be farmland. Since the reform and opening up, high-rise buildings have risen from the ground.

They and the film crew walked around the city - from Shanghai Municipal Archives , Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, to Suzhou ht On the banks of the ml2 River and on both sides of the Huangpu River , from the place where "whole-process people's democracy" was first mentioned, to the People's Suggestion Collection Office, from the Securities Museum, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Futures Exchange, to cultural relics and historical towns, you can review the process of great changes, feel the vitality of the city, and look forward to the new journey in the future. Bao Yaming, a researcher at the Institute of Literature of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, recalled his childhood "cultural journey" by the Suzhou river. Du Huanzheng, an expert who has been deeply involved in the research and practice of recycling development for more than 40 years, has a deep understanding of the development of Shanghai's resource recycling industry...

The experts' academic observations from different dimensions demonstrated the light of rationality and incorporated their own true feelings, which resonated with many people. Citizen Wang Jiawen said that he has lived by the Suzhou River since he was a child and witnessed the water hyacinth once overflowing the river and the dilapidation of old industrial factories on both sides. Nowadays, you can take the Suzhou River cruise ship to enjoy the cruise. Citizens and tourists can enjoy the beautiful green scenery on the clear water and the banks. The old industrial relics on both sides of the river are revitalized. The great changes of the Suzhou River confirm the green development concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Wu Qingyao, Hongkou District Media Center, is a marathon enthusiast. She said that the gradual improvement and increase of trails and bicycle paths on both sides of the "one river and one river" have added to the happiness of the citizens. Whether you are running along the riverside in the dim light of the morning or along the Suzhou River at nightfall, you can always smile and say hello to the stranger runners coming your way. This kind of kindness that resonates without the need for words is the beauty and purity that can be enjoyed in this city.

Deeply moved by the scenes of Jinze Ancient Town in the short film, Li Wenyue, deputy director of the Jinze Town Media Center, said that in recent years, his hometown Jinze has been deeply integrated into the Yangtze River Delta integrated development strategy, and rural revitalization results have continued to emerge. The black tiles and white walls of Qiaoxiang Ancient Town are elegant and quiet, the flowers are fragrant, and the birds are singing crisply, giving it the mood and poetry of a Jiangnan water town.

Enhance the sense of gain and satisfaction through extensive practice
In the wonderful interpretation and precise enlightenment of scholars, Shanghai wisdom, Shanghai plan, and the bright future of Chinese-style modernization were presented in a scenario-based manner, scientifically answering questions about China, the world, the people, and the times.

Zhang Jun, dean of the School of Economics at Fudan University, wrote: "Shanghai is the vanguard of China's reform and opening up." Sang Yucheng, president of the Shanghai Political Society, left a message at the Gubei Civic Center: "Through the extensive practice of people's democracy throughout the process, the people's sense of gain and satisfaction will be enhanced."

watched Sang Yucheng Professor Yucheng told the story of "building a rainbow bridge". Huang Jiping, director of the People's Suggestion Collection Office of Changning District, was very moved. The "rainbow bridge" is also a "bridge connecting hearts". The core essence of collecting people's suggestions is not only to listen to the "people's voice", but also to gather the "people's wisdom". A better life requires everyone's participation, co-construction, co-governance and sharing in democratic consultation and scientific decision-making.

Adviser Liu Yeqing, who has won the honor of "Shanghai's Outstanding People's Suggestions" for many times, said: "In the experience of providing suggestions for urban construction and development, I deeply felt the contemporary connotation and practical results of the whole process of people's democracy. It also inspired Shanghai to have such a 'public opinion collection' for people's suggestions." Wu Xinhui, one of the first informants at the Hongqiao Street grassroots legislative contact point and director of Shanghai Kangming Law Firm, felt very warm after watching the video, which reminded her of the three years of practicing the concept of whole-process people's democracy in the "First Place"."I personally feel that the grassroots legislative contact point in Hongqiao Street has become a 'seed' that has taken root, grown, and blossomed in various fields and levels, constantly spawning more democratic practices and constantly enriching the connotation of democracy."

Researcher Wang Xinwen said that as a researcher on the new track of quantum information technology, he is deeply encouraged. The party and the country attach great importance to the forefront of technological development in the world today. Innovation and entrepreneurship in fields such as quantum information and quantum computing will usher in the best moment in history. Cui Dachao, a scientific researcher at

, said that as a young man determined to devote himself to quantum computing, he was deeply inspired.

"I have witnessed the great changes in my hometown with my own eyes, and the sense of pride, identity, and happiness arises spontaneously." Gu Pingfang, deputy director of the Jinze Zhenrong Media Sub-Center, said that while inheriting the culture of Jiangnan , it will strive to carry the national strategy and build on its regional advantages to create a "science and technology innovation town" that integrates science and technology research and development, human resources, and financial industries. It resonates with history and dialogues with the times.

Meng Renzhen, director of the Planning and Development Department and associate researcher of Shanghai Publishing and Printing College, pointed out that cities should become the source of technology for green development. Whether it is industrial transformation, pollution prevention and control, or carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, more advanced science and technology support is needed, and these science and technologies need to be provided by modern cities.
Citizen Yin Hui said that from the perspective of human ecological civilization, green sustainable development is inseparable from the green transformation of industrial renewal and iteration. Sustainable recycling also requires everyone's efforts. He hopes that everyone will start from the garbage classification in daily life and accumulate bit by bit strength for Shanghai's great changes.
