At the second plenary meeting of the 28th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People’s Congress of Sichuan Province held on June 25th, the Regulations on the Protection and Inheritance of Red Resources in Sichuan Province (referred to as the “Regulations”) was passed by voting. There are 7 chapters and 55 articles in the Regulations, which will come into effect on July 1 this year.
The red resources in the Regulations refer to the material and spiritual resources with historical value, commemorative significance and educational significance formed by the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership of people of all ethnic groups in the new democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction, reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s new era since the May 4th Movement.
The “Regulations” design the system in combination with the actual situation in Sichuan, highlighting the Sichuan characteristics of red resources, and stipulates that the protection of sites, relics and representative objects of major events such as the Red Army Long March, Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area, anti-Japanese national salvation, Sichuan liberation, Sichuan-Tibet highway construction, third-line construction, research and development of two bombs and one satellite, earthquake relief and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, and poverty alleviation should be strengthened.
The “Regulations” provide for cross-regional cooperation, encourage red tourist attractions to carry out national and regional cooperation, promote the construction of red tourist boutique routes, enrich tourism products, and create a red tourist circle combining point and line with surface. Relying on the construction of the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu-Chongqing area, we should establish a cooperation mechanism for the protection and inheritance of red resources, strengthen the cooperation of Sichuan-Chongqing red cultural tourism, tap the connotation of Sichuan-Chongqing red culture, and improve the overall level of Sichuan-Chongqing red cultural tourism.
The “Regulations” stipulate the dynamic management of the red resource list at the provincial, city and county levels, and clearly establish a monitoring and evaluation system for the protection of red resources; To carry out the responsibility of red resources protection and inheritance, in addition to stipulating the protection responsibilities of governments at all levels and relevant departments, it also clarifies the rights and obligations of the public to participate in the protection and inheritance of red resources.
Sichuan is a big province with red resources, rich in red resources and thick red culture. The promulgation of the regulations is of great significance for protecting red resources, carrying forward red traditions, inheriting red genes, continuing red veins, and cultivating and practicing socialist core values.
