The five years from 2002 to 2007 is just a blink of an eye in the long course of history, but in the history of Yancheng’s development, it was a period when the city’s overall strength was enhanced fastest, the appearance of urban and rural areas changed most significantly, and the general public benefited most. It was also a five-year period during which the process of building a well-off society in all respects across the city obviously sped up: From 2002 to 2007, the great efforts made by our city in implementing its agricultural preferential policies reflected everywhere the guideline of “leading rural development with urban development, promoting agriculture with industrialization, returning profits to agriculture, and rewarding farmers,” and reflected deep feelings for agriculture, rural areas and farmers. Synchronous sound: Qin Nan Town farmer in Yan Du District [Now that we’ve established a grain growers association in Qin Nan, we not only increased production, but also income. Prices are now guaranteed, and our economy has improved. This is strong support for us grain growers.] The development of agricultural industrialization in our city has given farmers a golden and bountiful harvest over these five years. In 2007, the per capita net income of farmers across the city reached 6,000 yuan, increasing by 2,145 yuan compared to 2002, with an annual increase rate of 9.2%. Looking back at the process of building a well-off society over the past five years, each set of numbers that have been constantly updated is like a string of leaping notes, composing a beautiful chapter of the city’s economic development that is both fast and good. In 2007, the total GDP of the city doubled within five years, with an average annual increase of 14.3%; the total financial revenue was 3.3 times of that in 2002, with an annual increase of 26.6%. The economic structure has been further optimized, and the proportion of secondary and tertiary industries in the GDP rose by 7.9 percentage points compared to 2002. If new-type industrialization is the accelerator for our city's economic development, then the promotion of economic internationalization means that our city has seized the greatest developmental advantage. In 2007, the actual registered foreign investment across the city was 4.9 times of that in 2002, ranking among the top in northern Jiangsu in terms of total amount, and among the top in the whole province in terms of growth rate. Over the course of building a well-off society in the past five years, the dual driving effect of modern services and advanced manufacturing has already become initially evident. The accelerating development of the logistics industry and the increasingly good financial service environment have continuously strengthened the supporting role of productive services on manufacturing. The accelerated construction of the four major tourism economic zones has improved the level of tourism development, becoming another manifestation of our city's regional competitive strength. Looking back at the development over the past five years, the more profound change lies in the fact that our city regards stimulating internal motivation as an important factor in securing victory in building a well-off society, creating a good environment for entrepreneurship, innovation, and excellence. Synchronous sound: laid-off worker turned entrepreneur Wu Hongyan [At the time, I was really happy to receive 20,000 yuan. I thought it was a case of help in time of need. The government cared about us so much, and gave us such great support.] After five years of development, our city ranked 83rd nationwide in terms of comprehensive urban competitiveness. Nine indicators across the city have already met the provincial standards for a well-off society, and the overall evaluation score has increased from 68 points in 2002 to 86 points. Dare to break new ground, dare to innovate, and dare to take the lead. Yancheng has begun to rely on its inherent internal motivation and move forward boldly.
