Experienced the once-in-a-century drought in 2004, the once-in-a-century flood in eastern Sichuan in 2005 and the once-in-a-century drought in 2006, Sichuan, the "land of abundance" in China for more than 2,000 years, was robbed of tens of billions of yuan of wealth by successive years of floods and droughts. In May 2008, 14: 28.
The power of that earth-shattering earthquake spread to the east, south and north with a huge fan, tearing apart five cities such as Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang, Aba, Guangyuan and Ya 'an with violent force, causing more than 20 million people in the epicentre area of Sichuan Basin to be affected.
As of yesterday, 68,487 people were killed,18,627 people were missing and more than 354,000 people were injured in Sichuan province. More than 7.5 million houses or buildings collapsed, and more than 7 million houses became dangerous buildings.
The earthquake changed the face of beautiful mountains and rivers in Sichuan, dealt a heavy blow to Chengde Mian (Chengdu, Deyang and Mianyang), the bridgehead of western development near East longitude 105, and tested the determination and confidence of local people to rebuild their homes.
"Becoming benign cotton": the economic center of Sichuan
In 2007, with an economic growth rate as high as 14.2%, Sichuan Province became the first province in the central and western regions to break through10 billion. The total GDP of Sichuan and Chongqing exceeds 654.38+0.5 trillion yuan.
In this area with an area of less than 40,000 square kilometers and a total population of nearly 20 million, the GDP of Chengdu, Deyang and Mianyang reached 332.4 billion, 64.8 billion and 67.3 billion yuan respectively last year. The total GDP of this region exceeded 464 billion yuan, accounting for 46% of the GDP1050.5 billion yuan in Sichuan Province last year.
From the perspective of urban characteristics and functional layout, Chengdu has long been the economic center, commercial center, financial center, tourist destination and transportation hub in western China, and Deyang is one of the largest heavy machinery manufacturing bases in China, and also an important production base of phosphorus chemical industry, food and beverage and other chemical industries. Mianyang has become the most important military science and technology city in western China with the ratio of "every four cities 1 scientific and technical personnel". Mianyang Science City contributed 46 billion yuan to Mianyang's total GDP of 67.3 billion yuan last year.
The most dazzling industrial representative of this intensive economic belt is the "1 project"-the electronic information industry belt, which was built by the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government from 200 1. At present, there are at least 20,000 IT enterprises engaged in the outsourcing of electronic information, software and other services in this economic zone.
Last year, against the background of domestic industries and investments moving westward, the total investment in fixed assets in Sichuan exceeded 500 billion yuan, reaching 584.2 billion yuan, an increase of 2.9 1%.
At this year's Sichuan Provincial People's Congress, Governor Jiang Jufeng also stated in his government work report that it is necessary to "ensure the growth of added value and net profit of industries above the scale of 13", "strengthen and enlarge seven pillar industries such as electronic information industry, equipment manufacturing industry, hydropower industry, vanadium-titanium industry of steel, natural gas, petrochemical industry and salt chemical industry, food industry and pharmaceutical industry" and "continue to promote the modernization of Chengdu High-tech Zone, Mianyang Science and Technology City and Chinese medicine industry".
Jiang Jufeng said at that time that he would continue to push forward the "three billion projects", speed up the development of enterprises such as Panzhihua Iron and Steel Company, Wuliangye Company, Changhong Company, Dongfang Company and Zhong Er Company, do a good job in key industrial projects of 1 15, and strive to cultivate large enterprises and groups with an annual output value of10 billion.
However, the strong earthquake of magnitude 8 has caused unexpected heavy losses to the important industries in Sichuan, which are densely distributed in the earthquake-stricken areas.
The direct losses of the three cities may exceed 620 billion.
On May 22nd, the reporter of China Business News saw a map of Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan Earthquake Relief Headquarters, which was drawn by Sichuan Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. It is clearly stated that within the radius of100km with Yingxiu Town in Wenchuan County as the center, Chengdu and its two severely affected county-level cities-Dujiangyan City, Pengzhou City, Deyang City, Mianzhu City and Mianyang City shifang city City are all included.
We should know that Dujiangyan, Pengzhou, Mianzhu, Shifang and Jiangyou have long been in the top 18 1 0 or the top 20 in Sichuan Province, which plays an important role in the county economy of Sichuan Province.
Earlier, experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences predicted that the direct economic loss caused by this earthquake disaster in Sichuan was "less than the impact of previous snowstorms, about 654.38+050 billion yuan". But now it seems that the situation is much worse.
So far, the relevant authorities in Sichuan Province have not released the specific data of economic losses in the whole disaster area. However, in the past 20 days, various departments and bureaus in Sichuan Province have released preliminary loss reports of related industries or regions. From these data, the public can still get a glimpse of the economic losses caused by this devastating earthquake.
Jiannanchun Distillery is located in Mianzhu City, Deyang. Some buildings were seriously damaged in the earthquake, and the company lost a lot of base wine and aged wine, with a preliminary estimated loss of 2.4 billion yuan. Longman Group, a leading chemical enterprise in this area, destroyed four branches, and preliminary statistics showed that the economic loss exceeded 654.38 billion yuan. In addition, Longman Titanium, a subsidiary of Longman Group, is a company to be listed, and the current loss situation is unknown.
Li Chengyun, vice governor of Sichuan Province, previously revealed that as of May 25th, 22,428 enterprises in Sichuan Province had been affected to varying degrees, with economic losses exceeding 200 billion yuan, 4,465,438 employees died and12,545 people were injured.
According to the data obtained by China Business News from Sichuan Earthquake Relief Headquarters, the initial losses of Chengdu, Deyang and Mianyang, the three core cities of Sichuan economy, are as follows: 490,000 houses collapsed in Chengdu, 729 industrial and mining enterprises were affected, 54 reservoirs and 36 hydropower stations were damaged, some natural and cultural landscapes and important cultural relics in Dujiangyan and other places were damaged, and the affected population in Chengdu was 2.904 million, with a direct economic loss of 95.84 billion.
Nearly 6.5438+million houses were damaged, 2.7 million houses collapsed, more than 6.5438+0.400 industrial enterprises were affected, and the mechanical loss exceeded 6.5438+0 million units. Industrial and mining enterprises directly lost 54 billion yuan, of which Mianzhu industry was almost completely paralyzed. According to preliminary statistics, Deyang's direct economic loss reached 280 billion yuan, 4.3 times of the city's GDP last year. In addition, the direct loss of urban and rural infrastructure reached 654.38+002.25 billion yuan.
Mianyang suffered equally heavy losses. According to the data provided by Mianyang Municipal Government, 27 million square meters of houses collapsed, resulting in 35.59 million square meters of dangerous buildings. 1 170 enterprises were affected and 8 hydropower stations were damaged. Mianyang's direct economic loss reached 234,654.38+0.5 billion yuan, 3.5 times of the city's GDP last year. In addition, the direct loss of urban and rural infrastructure was 78.85 billion yuan.
It can be inferred from the above data that the direct economic loss in Chengde Mian area alone has exceeded 620 billion yuan. The sum of the direct economic losses of Guangyuan and Aba, the other two hardest-hit cities, has also exceeded 654.38+07 billion yuan.
In terms of industry, the latest data from Sichuan Provincial Tourism Bureau shows that in the Wenchuan earthquake, 568 of more than 4,000 tourist attractions in Sichuan Province were damaged, and the preliminary statistical loss has exceeded 60 billion; In terms of transportation infrastructure losses, the data of Sichuan Provincial Communications Department is temporarily 58 billion yuan; In the agricultural field, the earthquake disaster affected 3.396 million mu of crops in Sichuan Province, including grain crop 1.74 1.8 million mu, and 40,000 mu of rice seed production base could not be planted on time due to lack of water. Due to the damage of some cultivated land and farmland water conservancy facilities, about 1 10,000 mu of paddy fields in Sichuan Province had to be changed to dry farming. Previously, news from Sichuan water conservancy, animal husbandry and forestry departments also showed that losses in these areas also amounted to tens of billions.

A strong earthquake may affect Chengdu in a short time, which is the "National Experimental Zone for Overall Planning of Urban and Rural Comprehensive Reform".
Before 20 17, the planning of Chengdu was to improve the urban-rural integration planning with the concept of "all Chengdu", and gradually form a global development pattern of "one district (Chengdu urban area) and two belts (Longmen Mountain and Longquanshan eco-tourism development belt)", so as to build Chengdu into an important national high-tech industrial base, modern manufacturing base, modern service base and modern agricultural base, and at the same time "ensure"
