Standing at Chaotianmen Square in Chongqing, we can see the Jialing River and the Yangtze River converging here, surging forward, demonstrating the openness and inclusiveness of the youngest municipality directly under the Central Government of the Republic.

On October 11, when the reporter walked into the Orchard Port in Liangjiang New District of Chongqing, he saw a busy picture: high-speed intelligent quayside bridges loaded and unloaded goods in an orderly manner, transport vehicles were intertwined, containers were stacked one after another

"From the once small bulk cargo transportation dock to the largest water rail highway multimodal transport hub port in China's inland rivers, over the past decade, the Guoyuan Port has gradually become the opening door of Chengdu Chongqing double city economic circle and the transit station connecting the world in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which is faster and more intelligent." Niu Xiandan, general manager of Chongqing Guoyuan Port International Logistics Hub Construction and Development Co., Ltd. said.

"Today's Chongqing has achieved a 'magnificent turn' and become the forefront of opening up, which has not only changed the pattern of opening up in the central and western regions, but also reshaped its own economic development mode. The birth of Liangjiang New Area has left a significant mark in the history of Chongqing's reform and opening up." Du Shulin, director of the publicity department of Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, sighed.

From ancient times to the present, the land of Bashu has written countless famous poems; Looking forward to the future, Chongqing, a hot spot, shows a lot of efforts and responsibilities of "roll up your sleeves and work hard". Chongqing insists on taking the construction of Chengdu Chongqing double city economic circle as the "No. 1 project" of the municipal party committee and the general traction of the whole city's work, and works with Sichuan to compose the "story of two cities" and play the "music of two cities".

Cut in, screening, dehydration, vegetable loading, nitrogen filling, thermal packaging... On October 10, in the intelligent production workshop of Fuling Zhacai Group Co., Ltd., Zhacai products were continuously produced. In the huge scene, only a few staff members loaded the products into heavy trucks and sent them to all parts of the country.

Fuling pickle, the most common side dish on common people's table, collides with a new "chemical reaction" in the coordinated high-quality development of the region. Zhao Ping, general manager of Fuling Zhacai Group, said that after the "start key" was pressed for the construction of Chengdu Chongqing double city economic circle, Ziyang, Suining, Meishan and other places in Sichuan began to plant vegetable heads on a large scale, and built raw material pits to process semi-finished products, turning "green pimples" into "golden pimples".

In the construction of Chengdu Chongqing double city economic circle, Fuling District has stepped out of the "acceleration" and strived to be the "vanguard". "By 2027, we will strive to form a" hundred thousand "industry and economy with more than 10 billion enterprises, 10 listed enterprises, more than 10 billion yuan of general public budget revenue, 210 billion yuan of regional GDP, more than 100 billion yuan of industrial added value, and 400 billion yuan of industrial output value." said Wang Zhijie, secretary of Fuling District Party Committee.

Only by deepening cooperation and linkage can we form a strong joint force. Chengdu and Chongqing have made a coordinated layout and integrated development in the collaborative innovation to realize the "two-way rush" of industrial development and scientific and technological innovation.

On October 11, when the reporter traveled along the Yangtze River to Banan District, the Chongqing International Biotech City, which is full of green landscapes, attracted people to stop, and a number of biomedical enterprises were incubated here.

"The R&D of the bio pharmaceutical industry is very difficult, and it is often described as' taking 10 years, spending 1 billion dollars, and only 10% success rate '. But we are confident and determined to bite this' hard bone'!" Li Rui, chairman of Chongqing International Biocity Development and Investment Co., Ltd., said about the construction of the Chengdu Chongqing dual city economic circle, "Chongqing International Bio tech City seizes the opportunity to carry out industrial cooperation and talent exchange with Chengdu Hi tech Zone, Chengdu Medical City, Sichuan University, etc., and jointly create a new highland of bio pharmaceutical industry."

The construction of Chengdu Chongqing double city economic circle cannot be separated from the protection of solid and powerful judicial guarantee. In order to improve the content of "gold" and do a good job in "integration", the Chengdu Chongqing Financial Court officially unveiled in Yuzhong District on September 28, 2022.

How to provide litigation convenience for the masses across provinces? "The key is to do a good job of one-stop service." Jin Taiyu, the person in charge of the Case Filing Division (Litigation Service Center) of Chengdu Chongqing Financial Court, introduced that through the "offline+intelligent+Internet" omni-directional litigation service model, Chengdu Chongqing Financial Court provides online and offline, 24-hour self-help case filing services for the parties to achieve cross regional and non discriminatory handling of their appeals.

Behind the rising figures, the firm pace and surging development momentum of Chengdu and Chongqing are reflected. Mi Benjia, member of the Party Leadership Group and deputy director of the Chongqing Development and Reform Commission, said that in 2022, the Chengdu Chongqing double city economic circle will achieve a regional GDP of 7.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.0% over the previous year, which is equal to the national level; In the first half of 2023, the GDP of Chengdu Chongqing double city economic circle will be 3.82 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 5.2%.

Innovation is surging and rivers are flowing. Chongqing, a hot land, is making great strides and courageous progress in the new era and new journey, constantly promoting high-quality development, creating high-quality life, and continuing to write more wonderful and moving "stories of two cities".
