In Shandong, a vibrant land, numerous remarkable events have recently occurred, covering multiple fields such as industry, culture and tourism, and public welfare, showcasing Shandong’s vigorous development.
In the industrial sector, Shandong Lipai Machinery has launched a cross-border breakthrough, gradually moving from its workshop in Jining to the global market. This not only demonstrates the strength of Shandong’s manufacturing industry but also highlights its determination to expand into the international market. Meanwhile, a geothermal well in Dongying has connected a 450 million yuan “boiling” industrial chain. This geothermal well, located 4,000 meters underground, has extraordinary value. It can generate electricity, produce goods, and provide heating, achieving a daily power generation of approximately 25,200 kWh and providing heating for nearly 2 million square meters of residential buildings. Experts revealed the exploration process of the “highest temperature geothermal well” in East China. The drilling of this 162℃ “hydrothermal” geothermal well marks a major breakthrough in Shandong’s geothermal resource development and utilization, providing theoretical support for mineral exploration and other work, bidding farewell to the era of “finding minerals by intuition.”
In terms of culture and tourism, a movie can make a city popular. In 2025, many cultural and tourism landmarks were boosted by movies. The plum blossoms at Jinan’s Wulongtan Park quietly bloomed, dotting the branches and adding a unique poetic touch to the city. Other distinctive cultural and tourism activities, such as the “Dragon and Elephant City of Weifang” and the “Horses Hooving the New Year” event where skilled craftsmen from across the country assisted “Ma Biao Biao,” attracted many tourists. Weihai’s delicious food also graced dining tables, showcasing the charm of its local culinary culture.
Public welfare and positive social events also continued to emerge. A volunteer from Jimo, Qingdao, donated hematopoietic stem cells to save a life, becoming Qingdao’s 276th donor. This first gift of life in the new year warmed the hearts of countless people.
Public welfare and positive social events also continued to emerge.
In the dead of winter, a 70-year-old man in Zibo fell into a ditch. Five workers heard his cries for help and rushed to his rescue, saying it was an “instinctive reaction; if you see someone needing help, you have to pull them out.” In Zibo, where temperatures dropped to -6°C, a kind-hearted citizen encountered a designated driver on his way home from get off work in the early morning, offering a simple “Get in, I’ll take you home,” showcasing the city’s warmheartedness. A 64-year-old farmer has already acted in five short dramas, balancing farming and acting, vividly illustrating the richness of life. In the police field, Jinan Public Security Bureau released a special Police Day feature, emphasizing that “Your safety is the best gift for us.” The Linyi Immigration Inspection Station held a flag-raising ceremony and a ceremony to reaffirm the oath of joining the police force. Jiaozhou Public Security Bureau is always online to safeguard peace; their uniforms may be new, but their commitment remains unchanged—all demonstrating the police force’s unwavering determination to protect the people’s safety. And then there’s Wang Ruwei, a wheelchair-bound egg carving craftsman, whose life story showcases the indomitable spirit of people with disabilities.
In addition, the driver in the “Jingdezhen family of three killed in a traffic accident” case was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve in the first instance. The victims’ family stated that they would apply for an appeal, which has aroused public concern about traffic safety and judicial fairness. This agricultural enterprise in Zaozhuang is developing new drugs from eggshells, achieving diversified development and demonstrating the innovative vitality of agricultural enterprises. The emergency rescue by traffic police on school safety posts and the wind and snow warnings issued by anchors in Shandong are also closely related to people’s lives.
Shandong is moving forward in various fields with its diversified development, rich culture and full of positive energy, writing a wonderful chapter.
