A similar view of "hero"
"In the land of runes, magic is everything." This is a competitive online game operated by tencent games — — The first sentence in the background setting of League of Legends.
League of Legends is an e-sports game that is popular all over the world. In the game, players need to fight side by side in the Summoner’s Canyon, and finally win by turning map resources into team advantages. In reality, there is a road to the rise of a city, which coincides with the way to win this game.
From the "land of runes" to the southernmost city in Sichuan, China, people deeply feel that "canyons" and "rifts" actually hide "opportunities" — — Panzhihua is the only city named after flowers in China, which was born in the national third-line construction. This city opened the door of "building a complete industrial system by self-reliance" in China in the Panxi Rift Valley. Therefore, people also call Panzhihua a "hero city".
Two "heroes", one galloping in the online world, the other rushing in the years. This winter, the 18th League of Legends Urban Heroes Competition will be held in Panzhihua. At that time, two "heroes" will form an alliance and hand in hand present a "feast" about "heroes".

Urban landscape and game map
— — Clever "fit"
Panzhihua is located in the transition zone between Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with extremely diverse landforms.
"chinese national geography" once described Panzhihua as follows: a series of mountains running nearly north-south — — The Hengduan Mountains in the west, the Daliangshan Mountains in the east, and the Big Snow Mountain in the north, together with the large and small mountains in between, are mountainous and shoulder to shoulder. According to rough statistics, Panzhihua’s mountains account for more than 90% of the city’s total area, and it is a veritable "mountain kingdom."
There are towering mountains and "heroic" water. As the main stream of the Yangtze River, the deep mountains along the Jinsha River have turned into a zigzag bend, and many rivers such as Anning River, Dahe River and Sanyuan River shuttle between mountains like capillaries, shaping numerous canyons and valleys along the way.
League of Legends seems to have found the realistic projection of "Summoner Canyon" in Panzhihua.
Summoner’s Canyon is a map in League of Legends. In the background story of the game, it is said that the most majestic battlefield of the latest wave is "Summoner Canyon". There are three different roads running through the whole battlefield, and there are magical forces everywhere.
Panzhihua city is distributed in a strip shape along the Jinsha River, with a length of 20 kilometers from east to west, a width of 1-2 kilometers from north to south, and even less than 500 meters at the narrowest point. Panzhihua Avenue, Jinshajiang Avenue and Gangcheng Avenue run through the urban area. In the three-dimensional space, the city is constantly spreading from the river bank to the heights of the mountains, overlapping layers and bringing its own "canyon scenery".
Interestingly, the Jinsha River runs through the city, dividing the main city of Panzhihua into two areas: Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which just correspond to the red and blue camps in the League of Legends map.
Let’s imagine such a scene: when the player puts down the mouse, logs off from cyberspace and walks out of the arena of the urban hero competition, he suddenly finds that his city is actually a more grand "summoner’s canyon". Is this link between online games and reality full of "magic power"?
Summoners all over the country and even the world, welcome you to punch in the "Summoner Canyon" in the real world.
Urban Spirit and the Connotation of E-sports
— — Common "background color"
League of Legends is not only a game but also a sport.
At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, e-sports made its debut as a formal competition for the first time. E-sports has long been not only an entertainment activity for a group of young people to sweat in the virtual world, but also a fusion of enthusiasm and competition.
An ordinary person can be a fruit vendor, a takeaway rider, a taxi driver, a breakfast shop owner and a construction worker … … But when he entered the world of League of Legends and teamed up with other players to fight in the land of runes, he was the "hero" who appeared. Every player with the title of "hero" on his head needs to overcome difficulties and climb towards victory through continuous efforts and struggles.
In this sense, "hero" is not a title, but a mission. Players are like this, and so are cities.
As a new industrial city in the southwest of New China, the construction and development of Panzhihua has always been closely linked with the national mission.
Zhong Shaoxi, a native writer in Panzhihua, wrote in the article "Mao Zedong and Panzhihua Development and Construction" that the idea of building a steel plant in Panzhihua began in early 1958. At that time, there was no large-scale steel base in the western part of China, which was very unfavorable to the development of heavy industry in the western part, and the development of rich mineral resources in Panzhihua was urgently needed for the development of steel industry in China.
On March 4, 1965, after receiving the written report on the preparation and work plan of Panzhihua Special Zone submitted by Lv Dong and Chi Xu, President Mao Zedong immediately instructed that "this piece is very good". Panzhihua was thus listed as the focus of "third-line construction". Later, Premier Zhou Enlai personally took the lead in arranging the specific work of Panzhihua development and construction. Builders from all over the country poured into the deep mountain valley at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, and a legend of China’s urban development began.
Since then, through the arduous efforts of several generations, the heroic Panzhihua builder has built a new industrial city full of vitality, uniqueness and great potential in the desolate Panxi Rift Valley.
On December 22nd, 2022, "Opinions of Sichuan Provincial People’s Government of Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Supporting Panzhihua’s High-quality Development and Building a Common Prosperity Experimental Zone" was issued, which marked that Panzhihua has entered a new stage of development.
Panzhihua once again shoulders the national mission. This time, he will explore the path, create experience and provide samples for Sichuan to achieve common prosperity with practical actions of high-quality development.
Climbing is the common background of "heroes".
Urban development and industrial layout
— — Win-win "track"
Half of the netizens in the world are e-sports gamers.
In 2022, the global e-sports population will grow to 2.47 billion, accounting for 48.3% of the global netizens.
The world’s largest and fastest-growing e-sports market is China.
In 2022, China’s e-sports industry revenue was 144.503 billion yuan, and the e-sports population was about 488 million, ranking first in the world.
Gamers in China have become the ultimate winners in more and more international e-sports competitions.
Want to win, not only clubs and enthusiasts, but also cities aiming at the "new track".
The person in charge of Tencent’s e-sports said that the semi-finals and finals of the 18th League of Legends Urban Heroes Competition were held in Panzhihua, which was the first time that Tencent had entrusted its major e-sports events to prefecture-level cities. Judging from past experience, the successful landing of the competition is expected to bring new traffic to the city and release new kinetic energy for the development of the cultural tourism industry.
People flow, logistics and consumption … … This is the event bonus. When Panzhihua decided to incorporate e-sports into the urban industrial map, the expected return was obviously more.
Smart parking makes urban management more refined, data flow makes mines smarter, and e-government cloud makes people run less errands … … In recent years, with data as the core element, Panzhihua has promoted the deep integration of next-generation information technologies such as the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy, and new products and applications of the digital economy have blossomed everywhere.
E-sports competition is a new outlet of digital economy, and Panzhihua naturally doesn’t want to miss it.
In 1965, Panzhihua became the first special zone for resource development in New China. Before 1987, it was called Dukou City. Since 1965, she is 15 years older than Shenzhen; Since 1987, she is seven years younger than Shenzhen.
Similarly, youth is also the "key word" of e-sports.
In a young city, hold a young competition. This not only promotes the brand image of Panzhihua city, but also attracts the active participation and extensive attention of young people from all over the country, injecting new vitality into the city. An e-sports "new IP" will become Panzhihua’s "youth business card"; A new format of "e-sports+"may become the engine for Panzhihua to sail to the "New Blue Ocean".
"Grief Point" of Panzhihua player of the steel fierce sun server in the telecom zone of League of Legends sends an invitation to Panzhihua to friends of the team almost every winter. He said, "There is no winter here, and my hands and feet will not be frozen. The sunshine of Panzhihua brings my own ‘ Open a group ’ Effect. "
Thank you "Sorrow Point" for introducing the city full of "magic breath".
Once again, I sincerely invite summoners to come to the hero city of Panzhihua this winter to witness the birth of "heroes".
