The first "3" is that he carried out 30 investigations and research activities at the grassroots level last year.
The second "3" is that he visited more than 300 science and technology managers and researchers during the investigations and research activities and had in-depth exchanges with them.
After the visit and exchange, Ming sorted out 30,000 words of summary. This is the third "3."
Ming is quite satisfied with his performance results, but he cares more about the experience he gained last year.
In mid-April last year, Ming participated in the special investigation carried out by the CPPCC National Committee on Education, Science, Health and Sports research group. While accompanying the research group to conduct an in-depth investigation in Chongqing, he felt acutely the demand for scientific and technological talents for high-quality development, which gave him a deeper understanding of Chongqing's scientific and technological development.
This year, Ming focused on improving the new quality productive forces, and his first proposal was about talents. Technological innovation is key. The economy depends on science and technology, science and technology rely on talents, and talents depend on education. The virtuous circle of education, science, technology, and talent is the basic support for forming and developing new quality productive forces. How should we focus on education to promote our talent training, especially for developing new productive forces in the future? How can we effectively promote the integrated development of science and technology, education, and talents so as to build a solid talent base for new productive forces?
In this regard, Ming thinks the key to solving problems is to bring the latest scientific and technological knowledge into schools, classrooms, and textbooks. "Let our science and technology education start with children so they can learn about the latest scientific achievements and cutting-edge technologies," said Ming. He called for cultivating children's interest in science from an early age and encouraging more children to learn science and technology and become scientific and technological talents so that they can accumulate more knowledge and technical reserves in the process of the future construction of new Chongqing and even in the process of national development and scientific and technological innovation.
"New quality productive forces are an advanced productivity state in which innovation plays a leading role. Talent is the foundation of innovation, and innovation-driven nature is talent-driven," said Ming. In his view, talent-driven development is the key to developing new quality productive forces. As China's Two Sessions are ongoing, Ming said he continues actively offering suggestions on cultivating high-level talents and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces.
