＂The Yellow River is beautiful and will be even more beautiful in the future.＂

　　— — On-the-spot Report of the Symposium on Promoting Ecological Protection and High-quality Development in the Yellow River Basin in an All-round Way by General Secretary of Supreme Leader in Gansu and Shaanxi.

　　Rivers have always affected the changes of civilization and the rise and fall of the country and the nation. "If you want to be peaceful and prosperous, you must be good at water control." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is thoughtful.

　　The Yellow River, with 5,464 kilometers of flowing water, has a total area of 795,000 square kilometers. She is a great freehand brushwork that spans the land of China with nine twists and eighteen bends, and it is a grand and boundless history of Pentium in Chinese civilization.

　　On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader took the train all the way to the west to trace the roots of Chinese civilization and see the irrigation and harvest of the mother river.

　　On September 10th, the General Secretary passed Baoji, Shaanxi, and arrived in Tianshui, Gansu. On the 11th, to Lanzhou. On the 12th, a conference affecting nine provinces along the Yellow River — — A symposium on comprehensively promoting ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin was held in Lanzhou.

　　This is a consistent concern. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary has visited various provinces and regions in the Yellow River Basin for more than 30 times. In the past five years, three symposiums have been held on the same theme, and the national strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin has been continuously promoted in depth.

　　This is a strategic layout. Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has held nine symposiums on regional development in succession. Ingenuity is unique, focusing on the big era and the big pattern. Wan Li has great ambitions.

　　This is a slow and steady March. In the new era and new journey, the country’s river strategy is integrated into the magnificent chapter of Chinese modernization. Climbing over the hill, braving the wind and hitting the waves, we need motivation, vitality and a panoramic view of the further comprehensive deepening of reform.

　　At this symposium, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "So many people are gathered here today for the sustainable development of the Yellow River, which shows how much the CPC Central Committee attaches importance to it. This matter must be done for a long time, persevering and consistently grasping it. "

　　The Yellow River falls to the East China Sea, and Wan Li writes in his mind.

　　The river of civilization: endless.

　　Water veins are connected with context.

　　In the history of Chinese civilization, the Yellow River Basin has been a political, economic and cultural center for more than 3,000 years. Chinese civilization originated in Sri Lanka, inherited in Sri Lanka and flourished in Sri Lanka.

　　The trip to Gansu and Shaanxi begins with culture.

　　On the 10th, Baoji Bronze Museum and Tianshui Fuxi Temple; On the 11th, Maijishan Grottoes.

　　Culture is constantly flowing and then passed on. These brilliant treasures are witness and record, and they are also the prologue of the emperor’s great works.

　　Baoji, called Chencang in ancient times, gave birth to the culture of Zhou and Qin dynasties and is famous as the "hometown of bronzes".

　　In the museum, there are He Zun, Hu Fangyi, wall plate, parallel plate, reed, iron sword with golden handle, Qin Gong Yi, Lv Buwei Eight-year Ge … … Go through the baptism of wind and frost and engrave the mark of time.

　　Jin Wen carries history. The inscription on the plate records a minimalist history of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which can be called a "bronze history book". In the late 43 years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the inscription of Gaoding restored the talk about clean government about 2,800 years ago. Qin Gong’s inscriptions bear witness to the pioneering and innovative work of the ancients.

　　Standing in front of He Zun, the treasure of the town, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader meditated for a long time.

　　He Zun’s inscription contains the word "Zhai Zi China", which has become the earliest written record of the word "China" so far. No matter how long the years are, it can’t hide its light. It is a Tibetan ritual and the word is Hong Wen.

　　"At that time ‘ China ’ Is it a geographical concept? " The general secretary asked.

　　"It refers to the geographical position. ‘ China ’ Such as a standard, it means center, center. ‘ Country ’ It is a knowing word, a city ditch, and a guardian. " The commentator replied.

　　Since ancient times, the "China", which has condensed hundreds of millions of people, has continued for thousands of years, becoming the mark of civilization with innovation and new brilliance, with still water and deep flow intertwined with magnificent waves.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said with emotion: "After five thousand years of Chinese civilization, it is necessary to further explore, deeply study and explain its connotation and spirit, and publicize the great wisdom contained therein, so as to make everyone respect and love more, enhance their pride in Chinese civilization, carry forward the spirit of patriotism, and pass on the excellent Chinese traditional culture from generation to generation."

　　Know what you have never done, and you will know where you are going. Tianshui, located in Qinlong Fortress, is known as the "hometown of Xihuang". In the evening, the Supreme Leader General Secretary came to Fuxi Temple, which was built in the 19th year of Ming Chenghua.

　　How can the Chinese nation live endlessly, pass on from generation to generation and develop tenaciously in the long history of thousands of years? The tree rings of Tang, Huai, Song and Bai, the buds of ancient trees, the allusions of looking up at the astronomical phenomena and overlooking geography, the ancient tablets of "being in harmony with heaven and earth" and "opening up the heavens and standing on the pole", the creation of making nets, building houses and raising livestock, all condense the indelible national emotional closeness and become spiritual ties connecting ancient and modern times and rallying Chinese people at home and abroad.

　　"It is necessary to further study Chinese civilization, protect and inherit valuable cultural heritage, let the wisdom and creation of ancestors inspire future generations, and constantly enhance national pride and self-confidence."

　　Arrived at the foot of Maiji Mountain, just after the rain cleared. In autumn, the warm sun shines on the mountains and cliffs, and shines on the treasures that have been carved by the years. The Weihe River is boundless, the Longban is vast, and the trees are shaded.

　　"The flat land accumulates salary, as for the rock top." Since the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Qin Dynasty, the construction of Maijishan Grottoes has been going on for more than ten dynasties. The beauty of the Northern Dynasties, the elegance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the preciseness of the Song Dynasty … … General Secretary of the Supreme Leader boarded the plank road and walked into this "Oriental Sculpture Exhibition Hall".

　　A group of tourists rushed to greet the general secretary. Hearing that a tourist from Xi ‘an "only takes one and a half hours to get here", the Supreme Leader General Secretary smiled and said:

　　"In the past, traffic was difficult, and now all corners of the country are close at hand. Cultural tourism fever and museum fever are in the ascendant. After reading these lights of civilization and art, our national pride arises spontaneously. "

　　"What I am most concerned about is the most precious thing left by the vicissitudes of Chinese civilization." These are the roots of our endless string songs and the source of cultural confidence.

　　Water of Development: Moistening Everything

　　Water is the lifeblood of development. However, one of China’s national conditions is water shortage, especially in the Yellow River basin.

　　There is a set of data: the Yellow River enters the sea through nine provinces and regions, accounting for 2% of the country’s water resources, supporting 12% of the country’s population, 17% of cultivated land, 13% of grain output and 14% of GDP.

　　How to develop the Yellow River Basin?

　　"There are so many water resources in the Yellow River. It is necessary to use water for ecological construction, to develop the economy, and to eat and live without water. Water cannot be regarded as an unlimited supply of resources." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once profoundly pointed out, "We must persist in setting the city, land, people and production by water" ‘ Make as many buns as you have soup ’ It is necessary to carefully use water resources and let water resources be used in the most useful places. "

　　This time, the general secretary chose to go to Longzhong, a "drought for ten years and nine droughts", to see the development of agriculture as a "big water user".

　　He cares about this place. At the beginning of 2013, the General Secretary visited Longzhong. At that time, he inspected the water diversion project in Weiyuan County, Dingxi, and set the tone of "people’s livelihood is the highest and water control is the most important".

　　It has been the long-cherished wish of several generations to "draw water from Taohe River to quench the thirst in Longzhong". To change the flow direction of the river, it is necessary to cross the tunnel and split the canyon. All the way is mountains and mountains, and the difficulty of the project can be imagined.

　　On the morning of 11th, at Nanshan Huaniu Apple Base in Maiji District, Tianshui, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader listened to the introduction while watching the exhibition board.

　　The local comrades said emotionally: "In that year, when you learned that there was a rare geological problem in No.7 tunnel, you immediately instructed the Ministry of Water Resources to send experts to help. You also said that when you were working in Shanghai, you encountered similar problems when crossing the Huangpu River Tunnel. You encourage us to ‘ There will be a way to solve it ’ . Later, we worked together with experts and adopted the freezing method to construct, and finally broke through this problem. "

　　A canal of Taohe River has benefited nearly 6 million people in 14 counties (districts) in five cities of Lanzhou, Dingxi, Baiyin, Pingliang and Tianshui, and the local agriculture that used to rely on the sky for food has also revived. Hearing that Gansu intends to build a large-scale modern irrigation area in the benefit area of Taoshui Water Diversion Project, and learning that Dingxi’s potato and Chinese herbal medicine planting industry is booming, the General Secretary is deeply gratified:

　　"The Taohe water supply project was well built and solved the urgent need. We must pay more attention to such projects that benefit the people and effectively solve the production and living problems faced by ordinary people. "

　　Going deep into the fruit forest, the apple trees everywhere are the heavy harvest of this project. The general secretary asked about irrigation, fertilization and pollination, and encouraged the villagers to protect and develop the brand of Huaniu Apple after nearly 70 years, making the brand louder.

　　Looking back on the changes of apple varieties in the past decades, it is found that there are local and foreign varieties, which are changing, and the flowers, cows and apples have persisted and developed in the storm of the market. "Seed engineering is very important, especially the seed engineering of our national brand." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has a strong heart. "We should strengthen variety protection and cultivation, optimize planting methods, innovate marketing models, and make this characteristic industry bigger."

　　At this symposium, several provinces reported the new progress of modern agriculture. On this topic, the General Secretary further pointed out: "Water resources conditions must be fully considered in the layout of agricultural production along the Yellow River. Several provinces in the northwest have good experience in irrigation, and further research can be carried out to improve technical capabilities and enhance water-saving efficiency. "

　　Agriculture is a microcosm.

　　The green transformation of development mode is the coordinated promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth, and the adjustment and optimization of regional industrial layout. After decades of great development and construction, the transition is bound to be painful, and China has walked firmly and steadily.

　　The Yellow River Basin is an important energy, chemical, raw materials and basic industrial base in China. In recent years, the general secretary has been looking at coal, oil fields, wind energy and solar energy in the Yellow River Basin. This time, the provinces also brought transcripts: Gansu, new energy, new materials, biomedicine, data and information industries accelerated growth; Shaanxi, start the construction of energy revolution innovation demonstration zone; Henan, speed up the restoration of tailings left over from history and the closure of tailings ponds … …

　　The misty water flows through the bustling city and the criss-crossing countryside. The first local inspection after the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee further deepened the magnificent chapter of reform in an all-round way, and had a more concrete and vivid expression in the boundless Yellow River basin.

　　The green and low-carbon economy here is in full swing. The general secretary talked about this at the symposium: "Wind power photovoltaic is a very important industry in the Yellow River Basin. In the past 10 years, China’s newly added clean energy power generation has accounted for more than half of the total social electricity consumption increase, and it will be further developed. During the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, many countries are talking to us about the cooperation of wind power and photovoltaic. ‘ Belt and Road ’ 、‘ Go out ’ Green and low-carbon cooperation is promising. "

　　A move to benefit the people: Bengubangning

　　Jiuqu Yellow River Wan Li Sand. In the past, the Yellow River was "sickly", "it burst twice every three years and changed its course once every hundred years", and General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once described the Yellow River flood as "like a sword hanging over his head".

　　The two sets of data are in stark contrast:

　　In the more than 2,500 years before the founding of New China, the downstream overflowed more than 1,500 times and diverted 26 times. Every disaster will bring countless people hunger and displacement.

　　Since the founding of New China, the Yellow River has been continuously flowing for more than 20 years. "Hanging river on the ground" works miracles, because of the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the remarkable advantage of the socialist system in concentrating on doing great things.

　　"communist party is stem what of? It serves the people and strives for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Therefore, we must constantly look at what needs to be done well and what needs to be done quickly. Managing the Yellow River well is one of the major events. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once said this.

　　This time, when I went to the Yellow River Basin and the northwest, the General Secretary was concerned about the people’s livelihood there. Community is the smallest governance unit in the city; In the countryside, the villagers have the truest sense of gain.

　　In the fruit forest of Huaniu Apple Base, the general secretary chatted with several old farmers. They are all members of agricultural cooperatives. Working in the fruit forest, the cooperative car picks up the car and delivers it every day, and manages meals at noon, which can earn 100 yuan a day. An elder sister wearing a straw hat proudly said to the general secretary, "All the children are promising, ‘ Manned ’ I can do it, and the days are booming. "

　　Laughter and laughter in the fruit forest. The general secretary exhorted everyone: "Rural revitalization depends on industry, and all localities should show their strengths and take the road of revitalization that suits them."

　　Managing water is like playing chess, one child falls and it is full of vitality. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader still remembers the past when he dug wells and drank fluorine-containing water in northern Shaanxi in his youth. For a long time, villagers in some areas in the northwest can only rely on rivers to carry water, drill wells to lift water and store water in water pits. When he arrived in Dingxi, Gansu in 2013, the general secretary scooped up a ladle of water from the villagers’ water tanks and tasted it. The taste of water made him frown.

　　In the spring of 2019, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader combed the issue of drinking water safety at a meeting: "There are 60 million people in rural areas in the country who need to consolidate and improve their drinking water safety." If this matter is not solved, it will "affect the quality of poverty alleviation."

　　From poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, water prospers all industries. The hills and mounds on the Loess Plateau have been covered with green. Looking around, from the past, "the mountains were bare and suffered from famine every year" to today’s "terraced fields and hills, patches of forest and grass covered slopes", the old look has changed.

　　Looking at the community, this time I arrived at the Zaolinxi community in Lanzhou and the Liujiabao police station next to the community. In the community service center between the party and the masses, I heard that there is a great demand for aging transformation and the business is busy. The general secretary has a strong heart: "People’s livelihood is the most important thing, and the Party Central Committee is very concerned about the happiness and well-being of the elderly." There is a community canteen on the second floor, and the elderly have discounts. Lanzhou’s bad meat sells best. There is a recreation room next to the canteen hall, and the singing is melodious. The community choirs are all retired workers, living a comfortable life, and all of them are in high spirits.

　　"The elderly have a sense of security, medical care, learning and happiness. At present, the aging work is only initially carried out. It is necessary to continuously enrich and improve the service system and improve the service level." General secretary of the supreme leader said.

　　The community has 12 grids. In the wind, in the rain, it is community workers and community police who deal with the people the most. The general secretary cordially communicated with them, asking about the graduate school, income, business scope and skills training. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said: "We should be concerned about thousands of families and truly realize the glory and responsibility of doing this job."

　　"How effective is the burden reduction?" When I visited the community this year, the general secretary missed the burden reduction at the grassroots level.

　　There are fewer meetings, fewer forms to fill in, and fewer inspections and assessments. The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee clearly requires "to improve the long-term mechanism of reducing the burden for the grassroots". Clear powers and responsibilities, clarify boundaries, and let grassroots cadres go into battle lightly. The general secretary stressed: "Doing useful things well and doing less useless work requires the joint efforts of all sides."

　　Visit the house again, and the General Secretary comes to the home of 78-year-old retired party member Li Zongbiao.

　　Retirement is very rich, medical care is guaranteed, grandchildren are close to school, and they are also eager to study. When the general secretary asked them "are there any hopes and demands", Li Zongbiao replied: "Life is very happy, and all parties and governments have thought of it."

　　On the community square, the residents came, cheering and boiling. The children standing in front also crisply shouted "Hello Grandpa Xi", and the general secretary responded "Hello children".

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader kindly said to everyone: "Only a peaceful country can keep the people safe. National construction requires not only big science and big projects, but also a good life for the people. When I go to various places for research, I have to look at the countryside and the urban communities. The former is rural revitalization, and the latter is new urbanization. "

　　"With the development of urbanization, there are many high-rise buildings, which is obviously different from the hutongs in the past. A thousand lines above and a needle below. It is up to the community to bring everyone together. Community work is basically for the happy life of community residents, and the key is to do a good job in service, especially ‘ One old and one young ’ These two key points. "

　　Thinking about the Overall Situation: Singing the Yellow River Chorus in the New Era

　　The sky is high and wide, the grass is abundant and the forest is luxuriant, and the Yellow River water rolls eastward with sediment.

　　On the afternoon of the 11th, on the centennial Zhongshan Bridge by the Yellow River in Lanzhou, the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary looked far and wide.

　　Split the Qinghai-Tibet mountains and rivers, cross the canyon, cross the wetland, cross the plateau, cross the desert and rush into the sea. With the majestic water, fertile fields and human reproduction, this mother river nourishes and nurtures the Chinese nation.

　　A few sheepskin rafts on the river seem to have rowed into the long river of time. Generations of sons and daughters of the Yellow River used it to cross the river, and now it has become a popular project of local cultural tourism, and I can swim with a paddle of yellow sand.

　　By the river, there are convenience stores and cultural and creative shops. The general secretary asked about the best-selling products, saw the big bowl of tea and said with a smile, "How majestic and imposing the Yellow River is. ‘ Three battery ’ It’ s so leisurely and comfortable. "

　　The general secretary asked professionally and deeply about flood control standards, section water quality, pollution reduction and greening, and piles. The greatest concern is the people’s sense of gain.

　　The greenway along the river stretches for several kilometers, one step at a time. Citizens and tourists who are entertaining by the river see the general secretary and gather around excitedly.

　　In this situation, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader felt a lot: "We are all sons and daughters of China and the Yellow River. On the one hand, China should develop its economy, on the other hand, it should protect its ecology, both of which are related to the happiness of ordinary people. Great protection is the premise of great development, Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. "

　　Over the years, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has gone deep into the main tributaries, upstream and downstream of the Yellow River again and again. This time, I also visited the Weihe Ecological Park in Baoji, Shaanxi Province. The past river beach and today’s park have become a good place for citizens to relax and exercise.

　　The general secretary studied it from a comparative perspective: "In the past, I was busy with ‘ Road, Bridge, Tunnel and Railway Machine ’ Now every city pays great attention to urban greening and ecological construction, which is a gratifying change. "

　　Look at the whole situation from one domain.

　　The vicissitudes of the Yellow River Basin are one aspect of the historic achievements and changes in the new era. The strategic guidance of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin is a vivid reflection of the supreme leader’s practice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era.

　　Time goes back to five years ago.

　　At the first symposium on ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, the Supreme Leader General Secretary made it clear: "The connotation of the development of the Yellow River Basin must be clearly defined, not to develop the economy, but to take the ecological protection of the Yellow River as an important background to consider how to conform to the development path of different river basins and different provinces."

　　The ideas come down in one continuous line, and the measures are promoted layer by layer. At this symposium, the General Secretary further emphasized:

　　"Why don’t we talk about the Yellow River Economic Belt? There are great differences in resource endowments and development conditions among provinces in the Yellow River Basin, which is not an economic belt. But there is consistency in the great protection of the Yellow River. At the same time, the historical and cultural heritage in the basin is profound, the culture is diverse and the development context is very clear. "

　　Is it a big development or a big protection? This is the question of development model.

　　From high-speed development to high-quality development, green transformation, and a strong man’s broken wrist, China "takes the initiative" with a long-term view. In fact, it is more than the Yellow River. During the inspection, the General Secretary recalled that when the first symposium of the Yangtze River Economic Belt was held, it "poured a pot of cold water" on the provinces along the Yangtze River: "We should make great efforts to protect and not engage in great development".

　　Is it done overnight or for a long time? This is the question of political achievements.

　　"Promoting ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin will take a long time, and it will be pushed year by year and implemented year by year." At three symposiums in five years, the general secretary particularly emphasized that "you can’t be impatient" and "the utilitarian quality of managing the Yellow River should be measured in a hundred years, and you can’t be hasty or sloppy".

　　Is it fragmented, or is it a "chess game" plan? This is the thinking of the overall concept.

　　From the source of the Yellow River to the estuary, the whole region is coordinated and scientifically regulated. To find out the strategic position in the overall regional situation, it is necessary to calculate large accounts, long-term accounts and comprehensive accounts. At this symposium, each province and region combined their own provincial conditions and development orientation and handed in a new answer to promote high-quality development.

　　Doing a good job in the Yellow River is "Chairman Mao’s long-cherished wish". When General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited the Yellow River Basin before, he emphasized: "Walking once is not just to have a look, but to have thinking, ideas, arrangements, actions, integration of knowledge and action, and to be an activist!"

　　The national strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin has been implemented for 5 years. How to start from a new starting point? This symposium, is to hand in the answer sheet, but also a new topic.

　　The Supreme Leader’s General Secretary made a detailed analysis from seven aspects, and then planned and redeployed: building a national ecological security barrier, improving the level of water conservation and intensive utilization, improving the disaster prevention and mitigation system, building a modern industrial system with distinctive advantages, comprehensively deepening reform and opening up, coordinating new urbanization and rural revitalization, and protecting and promoting the Yellow River culture. These are in line with the previous two symposiums, and they are targeted.

　　Man and the river grow together in the long years.

　　"The reason why rivers can break through the precipice and seize the pass is because they have accumulated the great power of the vast expanse … …” On the new journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, what the Yellow River has condensed is the majestic power to forge ahead.

　　Looking forward to the future, the words of the Supreme Leader General Secretary are firm and calm:

　　"There are also buttonwood trees in the northwest, which have been planted and attracted the phoenix. The most important thing is to do your own thing. " "The Yellow River is beautiful and will be even more beautiful in the future."

　　This is the prospect of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, and it is also a promise that is as important as death.
