Impression Of Xinmin
239IMPRESSION OF XINMIN
The century-old journey has been magnificent, and our original aspiration has become stronger with the passing of time. In 2021, the 100th anniversary of the
Communist Party of China, Xinmin Archives (local chronicles office) edited and published the large color album IMPRESSION OF XINMIN, as a precious gift to the
Party's 100th birthday, aiming to fully excavate the profound history and culture of Ximin, and fully demonstrating the fruitful achievements made by Xinmin City in
different fields in the new era and the glorious course of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way together with the people of the whole country.
In the beginning of 2021, Xinmin City established a preparatory committee for the heavy editing and publication work of the color album of IMPRESSION OF XINMIN,
The Archives is responsible for drafting the work plan of the album. Through television solicitation Xinmin from all walks of life to the photos, text information notice.
The album preparation committee held meetings of leaders of all member units and related units, and deployed the task of collecting photos and writing manuscripts.
The album editorial committee took the initiative to lead professional photographers to take photos in key units. With the unremitting efforts of the editorial board and
the enthusiastic support of people from all walks of life, by the middle of May 2021, more than 2,000 photos had been collected and more than 20,000 manuscripts had
been written, which laid a solid foundation for the compilation of the picture album.
After the photos and text materials were prepared, the editor marked the 2,000 photos with the photographer and text instructions, and then classfied them. These
image materials are very precious, which can not be omitted; they must be seriously and carefully approved of. In the process of editing the album, the selection of
album photos and manuscript writing went hand in hand. Mr. Ma Bailiang and Mr. Li Chunzhan, who were responsible for writing compilation, though both well over
sixty years old, still worked with young comrades on holidays. They were fully dedicated. With the joint efforts of the comrades, the picture album was changed several
times, and experienced five typesetting revisions, and a color picture album presenting the magnificent, beautiful Xinmin finally met with everyone.
The compilation and publication of IMPRESSION OF XINMIN got great supports from Xinmin Municipal Party Committee, the People's Government, Xinmin Municipal
Standing Committee, Xinmin CPPCC, Xinmin Economic Development Zone, Xinmin Discipline Inspection Commission, Xinmin Organization Department, Xinmin
United Front Work Department, Xinmin Development & Reform Bureau, Xinmin Agriculture And Rural Bureau, Xinmin City Culture Tourism Radio & Television
Bureau, Xinmin Financial Media Center, Xinmin Market Supervision & Administration, Xinmin City Cultural Center, Xinmin Photographers' Association and other units.
Mr. Nan Chaoming inscribed the title of the album and nearly 20 photographers helped, to all of whom I express my heartfelt thanks here! At the same time, I would like
to express my sincere gratitude to all the experts, scholars, editors and all people who have participated in the editing and publishing work for the publication!
The pictures and archives selected in the book IMPRESSION OF XINMIN involve a wide range of areas and have extensive work. Although after many discussions and
modifications, the bright spot of Xinmin is still not comprehensive enough and the book still has unavoidable omissions and deficiencies. I appreciate your advice if
there are any mistakes in it.
