Hospital-nursery Cooperation: Hangzhou pediatricians provide contracted services for 1,026 nurseries

Infant care service has been included in Hangzhou people-oriented practical projects for a third consecutive year in 2022. As of the end of July, 1,026 nurseries have been covered by the contracted services of pediatricians. How do such hospital-nursery cooperation modes ensure comprehensive and scientific care of children? The answer boils down to four aspects: a set of growth and development tests, a series of lectures for parents, a contracted family doctor and a copy of children’s health manual, plus precise transfer treatment to higher-level hospital, according to the relevant person in charge.

Specifically, an infant may experience various stages of growth, such as learning to walk and speak. Different children may have different timing and performance in different stages. Such cooperation between hospital and nursery helps to alleviate anxieties of the parents by providing professional guidance for them and ensure a scientific and all-round development and growth of children. Also, parents may enjoy one-stop services at the nearby nursery institution.

The people-oriented project provides reassuring nursery services for parents. In addition to nursery, pediatricians also go to infant growth centers to provide continuous and professional services and guidance for parents.

Song-style artifacts made with paper tell stories

Hangzhou International Arts & Crafts Week 2022 and Hangzhou Disabled Persons’ Federation jointly launched cultural and creative brand of “super artisans”. Six super artisans showcased the crafts of paper cutting, paper lantern making, and fan making with their dexterous fingers on the site.

Ruan Xiaoping, a member of Hangzhou Disabled Artists Association, taught children how to imprint ink paintings on the oiled paper umbrella on the site. Despite the mutilated right hand, the artist could draw perfect paintings and provided free lectures for disabled persons loving calligraphy and painting. She combined painting with traditional craft of oiled paper umbrella making. Shang Zhenzhou, a septuagenarian with hearing impairment, shared the same enthusiasm for art. He inherited craftsmanship for Shangren lantern making from his elder generations and has become an idol for enthusiasts of Chinese traditional culture.

The memories of the city have been imprinted on the artworks which were created by artisans as well as by ordinary citizens. The experience activities in the Arts & Crafts Week narrated the stories of tradition, modernity, innovation and inheritance.

Since its opening, Hangzhou International Arts & Crafts Week has also attracted French and Italian artists to present their artworks, promoting the construction of the International Cultural Creativity Centre.

Ancient relics come to life with technology

When Zhang Han set foot inside Liangzhu Museum in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, the 10-year-old put on a pair of augmented reality glasses and embarked on a tour that took him back more than 5,000 years.

From exquisite jade artifacts to pottery, the museum displays various burial objects found in the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ruins have gained worldwide recognition as bearing testimony to the existence of at least 5,000 years of Chinese civilization.

Wearing the smart glasses, Zhang was presented with virtual images of relics as well as related background information, such as the real-life scenarios in which they were used, their functions and cultural significance.

“It’s such a wonderful journey. Everything is true to life,” said Zhang from Tianjin.

Augmented reality glasses feature among a string of measures taken by the museum to give visitors a more vivid and immediate experience of Liangzhu civilization, while helping them gain a better appreciation of Chinese culture.

Tourists can also visit the official website of Liangzhu Museum to enjoy a virtual tour through high-definition pictures and virtual reality. With a click of the mouse, they can gain access to exhibition halls that they may never be able to visit physically.

Advanced technologies are increasingly playing a major role in Chinese museums. Long before the digital exhibition of cultural relics, digital technology was used widely in archaeological research and heritage protection, said Ma Dongfeng, executive director of Liangzhu Museum.

A big data monitoring center has been set up to better preserve the Liangzhu ruins near the museum. It closely monitors the temperature, humidity and flow of tourists. If the data from certain sites exceeds the limits, emergency responses will be launched, according to Ma.

In the northwestern Chinese city of Dunhuang, which is known for the UNESCO World Heritage Site Mogao Grottoes, the “digital Dunhuang project” has made extensive use of digitalization. By the end of 2021, it had completed the digital collection of 268 grottoes, the image processing of 164 grottoes, and the 3D reconstruction of 45 painted sculptures, 146 grottoes and seven large relic sites.

The protection and revival of Dunhuang’s ancient culture is not an isolated case in China. The Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi province also have 3D “digital archives”, which allow precious cultural relics and historical archives to be permanently preserved.

The first batch of future industry pilot zones to be cultivated and created announced in Zhejiang

What is the industry of the future? On August 22, the Department of Economy and Information Technology of Zhejiang Province announced the first batch of provincial-level future industry pilot zones to be cultivated and created. 8 future industry pilot zones were shortlisted, including West Hangzhou Science and Technology Innovation Corridor Artificial Intelligence, Deqing Beidou Dixin, Haining Third Generation Semiconductor, Aerospace Industry (UAV and Satellite Internet), Future Network (6G), China Eye Valley Eye Health, Ningbo Flexible Electronics, and Third-Generation Semiconductors in Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City.

It is not difficult to find that these future industries have very distinct characteristics—fast-growing, strategic, and leading industries that are currently in the incubation stage. “The scientific and educational resources and industrial foundation of the regions where they are established are relatively prominent.” said the relevant person in charge from the Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology.

It focuses on six major technical directions: terahertz communication, visible light communication, satellite-ground integration networking, intelligent metasurface, super large-scale antenna, and network endogenous intelligence. It takes as the core the internal cultivation, interconnection, and external introduction of key universities, institutes, and enterprises in the 6G field, to strive to bring together 30 leading companies in the industrial chain by 2025, achieve an output value of more than 5 billion yuan, and achieve a series of standards, patents, and institutional achievements.

It is learned that the first batch of pilot zones was independently applied by counties (cities, districts), reviewed and recommended by districts and cities, and finally determined after expert review. According to the Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Future Industry Pilot Zones in Zhejiang Province, the province will build about 30 future industry pilot zones with distinctive features and leading development by 2025, which will become a key strategic direction of local industrial planning and an important indicator of regional scientific and technological innovation and comprehensive strength.

Hangzhou to build 500 avenues with a total length of 1,900 km

Avenues bring coolness to pedestrians in scorching summer. In Hangzhou, urban avenues refer to the urban public roads lined with at least one row of shady trees on each side in downtown area. The avenues are mainly used for transportation with supporting landscaping, recreation and ecological functions. Hangzhou has planted 20,810 roadside trees (it plans to plant 30,000 roadside trees in 2022), and will have around 500 avenues, with a total length of 1,900 km, by 2035.

Hangzhou started construction of avenues in the period of the Republic of China, which was basically in synchronization with the construction of urban roads. At that time, people mainly travelled by bicycle or on foot and the trees provided shades for citizens in hot summer. Now, these trees, together with many buildings of the times, have become a part of the nostalgic memory of the city.
