The report of the 20th Party Congress points out that after successive struggles, we have realized the millennium dream of the Chinese nation of moderate prosperity, won the largest battle against poverty in human history, and historically solved the problem of absolute poverty.
This is a historic decade of Chinese-style modernization and a decade of transformation and development of Chinese philanthropy.
In 2012, the China Charity Project Exchange and Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as "CIF") was born. Upholding the spirit of "mutual help, harmony and helping the poor and needy", adhering to the concept of "collaboration, co-creation and sharing", and focusing on serving the major national development strategies, the Fair has played an active role in winning the battle against poverty and building a moderately prosperous society in China. It has played an active role in winning the battle against poverty and building a moderately prosperous society.
Many people gather firewood. Over the past ten years, the Fair has attracted tens of thousands of exhibitors from more than 40 countries and regions around the world, and the matchmaking amount has exceeded 70 billion yuan, making positive contributions to the elimination of absolute poverty in China.
Innovation leads to more weighty righteousness. As the only national, comprehensive and internationalized annual charity event in China, CIF has gradually developed into a "wind vane" for China's public welfare charity and a "new window" for the international community to read the temperature of China.
Build a platform
Precise and Efficient Matching of Charity Supply and Demand
The founding of the charity fair can be described as a "sailing against the wind".
The "Guo Meimei" incident in June 2011 triggered an "earthquake" in the charity sector, and the enthusiasm for charitable donations plummeted in the community. One year later, in July 2012, the first charity exhibition jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Shenzhen Municipal Government was held in Shenzhen.
The theme of the first CIF was "Development - Integration - Transparency", which hit the spot at that time. "The greatest value of the first charity fair is that the concept was spread and consensus was formed, recognizing transparency as the 'color' of charity, and on this basis, the public welfare banner was raised, and all kinds of 'aspirants' were invited to join the good deeds. " An observation article analyzes.
It is the first time to introduce the exhibition industry into the field of public welfare in China. 544 units exhibited, 150,000 people visited, and 272 projects of cooperation intention were reached ...... Obviously, the first charity exhibition was a success. "The charity exhibition was a complete success and achieved a different kind of excitement." The Ministry of Civil Affairs gave high praise.
If transparency is the code of charity, then accurate docking is the magic weapon of the Cixi Fair that has lasted for ten years.
In the past, insufficient and asymmetrical matching of charity needs and resources seriously restricted the development of public charity. In order to develop "precise charity" and promote the effective matching of charitable resources, the Third Charity Fair created the public charity resource matching system for the first time with reference to the rules of cultural property trading system, and firmly established the development of the fair as a "charity resource matching service platform". Positioning.
Good things are always well received. Once the docking service platform was launched, it quickly became an important position for domestic public welfare and charity industry to dock all the elements of resources. Relying on the resource matching platform, it not only enables various kinds of charity funds and projects to achieve rapid and accurate matching, but also provides a series of social problem solutions, professional talents and technologies for many grassroots public welfare organizations.
The matchmaking service has been more efficient than ever. Over the past ten years, through innovative resource matching methods and a sound resource matching platform and standardized service system, the exhibition has gradually built up a platform for matching charitable projects, funds, talents, technologies, venues, ideas, models and other charitable resources.
It is based on the standardized, transparent, accurate and efficient poverty alleviation model that more and more charitable resources are pouring into the field of poverty alleviation. According to statistics, a total of 2,620 projects have been docked at the nine charity exhibitions, with the docking amount exceeding 70 billion yuan.
Promoting Development
Assuming the national mission to help fight poverty
Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, China has experienced three major events of great practical and far-reaching historical significance to the Party and people's cause, one of which is "completing the historical task of poverty eradication, building a moderately prosperous society and achieving the first 100-year goal".
The charity exhibition is deeply involved in this important event. As the only national charity industry co-creation platform in China, CIF has always been oriented to the national strategy, actively taking up the mission of a national exhibition and gathering social cooperation to help the national strategy.
Strengthen the government's responsibility, guide the market and society to make concerted efforts, and build a poverty alleviation pattern in which special poverty alleviation, industrial poverty alleviation and social poverty alleviation complement each other". This is the charge of the battle against poverty, but also the call of the national mission.
To help the national strategy of poverty eradication, the theme of the exhibition will be "Focus on Poverty Eradication, Create a Better Life" for three consecutive sessions (2018-2020), starting from the sixth session, to promote the injection of social funds and poverty alleviation projects into deep poverty areas, guide professional talents and advanced technologies, and carry out precise poverty alleviation. The exhibition will promote the injection of social funds and poverty alleviation projects into deep poverty areas, guide professional talents and advanced technologies to carry out precise poverty alleviation, and comprehensively promote the work of poverty alleviation, will and wisdom.
In the past three years, stories of moving China have been staged. In August 2019, the organizing committee of the charity exhibition received a special letter containing one yuan. The letter was sent by a primary school student in Funan County, Anhui Province, which had just been lifted out of poverty, "I hope the fair can help more people, the more the better! I am happy to donate money to you!" The paragraph in the letter is short and simple, and highly infectious.
In these three years, the social synergy in the fight against poverty has become stronger and stronger. Displaying and promoting 5,318 organizations and 3,198 kinds of consumer poverty alleviation products, carrying out more than 270 roadshows of poverty alleviation projects and product promotion activities, attracting more than 450,000 people to participate in the exhibition on site, and achieving a cumulative pair of poverty alleviation resources of nearly 34 billion yuan ...... for three consecutive years to help, the Cixi Exhibition has gathered a strong synergy of all sectors of society to help fight poverty.
In 2021, after helping the country win the battle against poverty, the Cixi Exhibition will focus on rural revitalization. Affected by the epidemic, the 9th Cixi Exhibition was held in a comprehensive online and cloud-assisted manner, attracting 2,255 organizations to participate and contributing to a project intention matchmaking amount of 3.74 billion yuan.
"To comprehensively promote rural revitalization, adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, and consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty eradication." Implementing the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, the Cixi Exhibition will continue to make efforts to make greater contributions to the effective connection between the consolidation and expansion of the results of poverty eradication and rural revitalization in China.
Leading the Tide
Create a new window to read the temperature of China
In Shenzhen, in the south, there is a scenic spot that focuses on the styles of the world and is a window for the people to understand the world, which is called "Window of the World". In the past, every September, the Cixi Exhibition would open its doors at the Convention and Exhibition Center, which is about 9 kilometers away from the "Window of the World".
Perhaps it is because the main venue is located in Shenzhen, a city with a mission "born of reform and opening up", that reform, openness, innovation and pragmatism have become the important genes of the Fair. Precision, wisdom, digitalization and internationalization have become the main features of the innovative development of the Fair in the past ten years.
Precise docking breaks the bottleneck. Based on innovative practices such as the public charity resource matching system, the problem of insufficient and asymmetric matching between charity needs and resources has been solved, and various types of charity funds and projects have been matched quickly and precisely, so that China's public charity has gradually come out of a new way of precise charity.
Wisdom exploration leads practice. In order to stimulate new wisdom of public charity, the exhibition adheres to the core concept of "cross-border, innovation, future, practice" and builds a professional and socialized conference system with both depth and breadth, highlighting the key points and incorporating them. Focusing on cutting-edge dynamics, outputting professional views and leading innovative practices, the exhibition has gradually become an important window for all walks of life to gain insight into the trend of China's charity industry over the past ten years.
Digital empowerment extends the value. The eighth edition of the fair took the lead in opening the road of digitalization of charity exhibitions, adopting for the first time the exhibition mode of in-depth integration of online and offline, and making the "cloud exhibition" as an extension of the offline exhibition. The ninth edition of the exhibition is fully digitalized, and through the use of the Internet, big data and other new generation of information technology, it opens up cloud display, cloud conference, cloud docking, cloud experience and other sections, creating a cloud exhibition platform integrating a variety of functions such as display and exchange, seminars and conferences, resource matching and public welfare experience.
The internationalization of the exhibition reflects its role. In the past ten years, the exhibition has taken up the important task of promoting China's charity "going out" and the world's charity "coming in" by conducting global exhibition promotion activities and organizing international seminars on the theme of public welfare, etc., innovatively combining "going out" and "coming in". "It not only showcases and promotes the excellent projects of international charity organizations, but also demonstrates China's role as a big country in poverty reduction, sustainable development and other global issues, and becomes an important link between domestic and international charity. It has become an important link between domestic and international public welfare undertakings. Ban Ki-moon, the former Secretary-General of the United Nations, also sent a video message for the 5th International Charity Summit, expressing his concern and blessing for the exhibition.
Looking back at the past ten years, from building a platform to promoting development, from leading the trend to taking up the mission, CIF has gradually developed into a "wind vane" of China's public welfare and charity, and a "new window" for the international community to observe China's charity and even read the temperature of China.
Demonstration
Showing the new role of SAR with special efforts
The reason why the main venue of the CCF is located in Shenzhen is related to the fact that this pioneering city of reform and opening up is particularly capable of demonstrating and taking charge.
In the 40th anniversary of the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that Shenzhen is a brand new city created by the Party and the people after the reform and opening up, and is a wonderful interpretation of socialism with Chinese characteristics on a blank sheet of paper. 40 years later, Shenzhen's gross regional product has increased from 270 million yuan in 1980 to 2.7 trillion yuan in 2019, ranking fifth in total economic volume in Asian cities, and has achieved the goal of transforming from a backward frontier town to a city with a high level of economic development. Shenzhen has made a historic leap from a backward frontier town to an international metropolis with global influence.
Shenzhen is not only a "pioneer city" of innovation, but also a "model city" of courage and "city of love" of dedication.
Counterpart support, precise poverty alleviation, revitalization of the countryside ...... took the lead in the development of Shenzhen, actively shouldering the special mission and political responsibility of the Special Economic Zone. From 1990 to help Meizhou, to now to support the country's 54 counties (cities, districts), Shenzhen fully demonstrated the "SAR role", creating a number of precision help "Shenzhen samples".
"Shenzhen's development is inseparable from the support of the people of the country, thanks to reform and opening up, return to the people of the country, is Shenzhen's responsibility and play." Shenzhen municipal party committee main responsible comrades said. Shenzhen always uphold the concept of "thanks to reform and opening up, return to the people of the country", the counterpart help as a major political task and a matter of responsibility to grasp firmly. Since the 18th Party Congress, Shenzhen has invested a total of more than 40 billion yuan in financial support funds, promoting counterpart support to 42 poor counties all off the cap, 2.3 million poor people out of poverty, to win the battle against poverty in the country on the high quality "Shenzhen answer sheet".
Since 2021, Shenzhen, as the first demonstration zone of socialism with Chinese characteristics, has been doing a good job of consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty eradication and rural revitalization with more powerful measures and stronger power, and has been striving to promote rural revitalization to open a new bureau. The new era calls for a new role. The 20th Party Congress proposed the new goal of "promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization". As an explorer of public welfare charity with Chinese characteristics, the CMC will be enterprising and never slacken in its mental state, and strive to make new and greater contributions in the new journey of the new era with a bold and unrelenting stance.
