Neijiang putonghua

Neijiang, located in the southeast of Sichuan, is a typical western city. Neijiang dialect formed by the closed geographical environment is very distinctive, but it often makes jokes in foreign exchanges. Once, a company in the city and a foreign boss discussed the intention of cooperation. The host asked the factory director to introduce the situation first, and said in local words, "You have to talk!" Foreign bosses were shocked when they heard "clap"; A delegation from Neijiang visited foreign countries. At a formal thank-you banquet, the food was served too fast, and it was required to "slow down" in Neijiang dialect. The waitress mistakenly thought she was going to "kiss" and was ashamed to go out and complain. The owner of the hotel had to declare that "this service is not provided in our hotel", and both the host and the guests were embarrassed for a while.

Neijiang cadres began to speak Mandarin at the beginning of this year. In order to adapt to the new situation of reform and opening up, Neijiang Municipal Committee requires party and government organs at all levels, various window enterprises and various educational units to take the lead in learning and promoting Putonghua, and party and government leaders at all levels take the lead in using Putonghua in foreign receptions, public speeches and news interviews. Therefore, Ceng Shengquan, secretary of Neijiang Municipal Party Committee, took the lead in speaking Mandarin when he delivered a "New Year message" to the people of the city during the Spring Festival this year; Mayor Yan also spoke Mandarin when attending the National "Two Sessions". Not long ago, the Propaganda Department of Neijiang Municipal Committee issued a "ban order" at a news briefing: all radio and television programs with answers in local dialects are not allowed to be broadcast.

Neijiang has a vast territory, dense population and many dialects. Many cadres are on business trips, and they are most afraid of "opening their mouths" (talking). It is really a big challenge to ask them to speak Mandarin at home now. Many cadres blushed before they spoke. Some cadres speak general Neijiang dialect, and some cadres speak Mandarin mixed with Neijiang dialect. Many meetings have dramatic scenes. Nevertheless, more and more cadres speak Mandarin in public places.

Neijiang is one of the fastest growing areas in Sichuan in recent years. Zhang Xiangyuan, Propaganda Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, said in an interview that Neijiang is increasingly integrating into the world development trend, introducing foreign capital1780 million yuan every year, and there are more than 70 foreign-funded enterprises registered in Neijiang. Nowadays, walking on the streets of Neijiang, you can often see the faces of foreigners and foreigners. Speaking Mandarin in contact with foreigners is not only a respect for others, but also a reflection of Neijiang cadres' quality. He said: "The significance of speaking Mandarin is extensive and far-reaching. At least it shows that Neijiang people, as inland cities in the west, are determined to keep up with the trend of the times, keep pace with the times and actively participate in international and domestic competition.
