As a steelmaker with 41 years of experience, he deeply understands the importance of advanced manufacturing to national development. For many years, Yang Jinan and his team have dedicated themselves to refining specialty steels, from aerospace steel to nuclear power steel to petrochemical hydrogenation steel. He has repeatedly overcome challenges and contributed to the development of advanced manufacturing.

At the same time, I will actively leverage the leadership role of model workers to cultivate more highly skilled steelmaking talent, and help elevate the advanced manufacturing industry to new heights with high-quality products," said Yang Jinan. 
As the world's largest and most extensive collection of stone carvings, the Longmen Grottoes have been hailed by UNESCO as "the pinnacle of Chinese stone carving."

He also spoke cordially with on-site cultural heritage conservation workers, urging us to safeguard, inherit, and promote these treasures of Chinese culture.

"When the General Secretary visited the Longmen Grottoes, he specifically encouraged children to explore Chinese culture on site and build cultural confidence from an early age. This touched me deeply," said Lv Yanqiang, manager of the Feiluo Pavilion Hanfu Experience Hall in the old city. "Luoyang, as a thousand-year-old capital, has a profound historical heritage. Hanfu culture has become particularly popular in recent years, and 'Come to Luoyang and Wear Hanfu' has become a new option for tourists to immerse themselves in China's fine traditional culture. The Hanfu Experience Hall I run has also quickly evolved from a single store to a chain brand. The future holds broad prospects for the integration of culture and tourism, and I have become even more determined to engage in the Hanfu industry. I will wholeheartedly provide tourists with richer and higher-quality Hanfu experience services. I look forward to the development of Luoyang's new cultural tourism industry, which will truly become a pillar industry, an industry that supports people's livelihoods, and an industry that brings happiness."
