CCTV News (News broadcast): Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Shaanxi for three times for investigation and research, to draw a blueprint and guide the course of high-quality development of Shaanxi in the new era. The cadres and masses in Shaanxi should keep in mind the entrustment of General Secretary Xi Jinping, carry forward the spirit of Yan'an, strive to write a new chapter of high-quality development in the land of Sanqin, and take practical actions to meet the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Shaanxi, located in the hinterland of China, is one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese nation and Chinese civilization. It is also a red fertile land. The Party Central Committee has lived in Yan'an for 13 years, cultivated and formed the Yan'an spirit that shines for thousands of years, and is the precious spiritual wealth of our party. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the villagers in Liangjiahe Village, Yanchuan County, Yan'an City. In January 1969, Xi Jinping, who was under the age of 16, came to Liangjiahe Village from Beijing. He organized and led the masses to build roads, build silt dams, run iron industry cooperatives, dig large wells, and develop biogas, which improved the agricultural production conditions. He was full of deep feelings and often worried about every tree, every ditch, every hill and every beam here.
It has always been the concern of General Secretary Xi Jinping to speed up the development of the old areas and let the people in the old areas live a happy life. He pointed out that it is incomplete to build a well-off society in an all-round way without the all-round well-off society in the old areas and the poverty alleviation of the poor people in the old areas. We should always keep in mind the development of old areas and the improvement of people's lives in old areas, and increase investment and support. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has visited Shaanxi three times for investigation and research. From the Loess Plateau to the Qinba Mountains, the General Secretary has always walked into the old areas to discuss with the people of the old areas the strategies to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Wang Zhanhong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Yanchuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province: The concern of General Secretary Xi Jinping warmed the people in the old area, and also inspired the cadres and masses in the old area to unite and win the battle against poverty.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central and local governments have invested 1.2 trillion yuan in Shaanxi old revolutionary base areas, accelerating the development of characteristic industries represented by ecological agriculture, equipment manufacturing and red tourism. The basic medical insurance, serious disease insurance and medical assistance for the poverty-stricken population will be fully covered. In 2019, Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, bid farewell to absolute poverty. In 2020, all 56 poverty-stricken counties in Shaanxi will be decapitated, and 4.65 million registered poverty-stricken people will be lifted out of poverty. In 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was deeply concerned about the people in the old area, came to Haojiaqiao Village, Suide County, Yulin City.
At present, Shaanxi takes accelerating agricultural and rural modernization as a starting point, comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, building tens of millions of acres of "tons of fertile land", accelerating the construction of the entire agricultural industry chain, developing leisure agriculture and rural tourism, and promoting the deep integration of rural primary, secondary and tertiary industries.
Liu Jinyuan, villager of Haojiaqiao Village, Suide County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province: There are orchards on the mountain and industries at the foot. We young people are full of energy.
Innovation is the first driving force for development. During the three visits in Shaanxi, General Secretary Xi Jinping went deep into scientific research institutes and production lines, and asked to strengthen scientific and technological innovation as the most urgent task and accelerate the key core technology research. Shaanxi, with more than 110 colleges and more than 1500 scientific research institutions, is working hard to build an innovation driven platform of "Qin Chuangyuan", so that innovation achievements can be closely linked with industrial development. In 2021, the turnover of technology contracts in Shaanxi Province will exceed 234 billion yuan, seven times that of ten years ago.
Ma Caiwen, Director of Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences: The core technology cannot be achieved by begging for alms, but must rely on self-reliance, which is the requirement of General Secretary Xi Jinping for our scientific and technological personnel. We should focus on the major national scientific and technological tasks, and take strengthening our independent research and development capabilities and solving the "choke" problem as our fundamental.
Shaanxi's ecological environment protection is not only related to its own development quality and sustainable development, but also related to the overall situation of the national ecological environment. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to this. The Qinling Mountains across Shaanxi Province is an important ecological security barrier in China. Now here, the "sky earth integration" monitoring continues, and the construction of Qinling National Park and Giant Panda National Park in Shaanxi is further promoted. In 2021, Shaanxi will complete 8.423 million mu of afforestation, the forest coverage rate will reach more than 45%, and the water environment quality of major rivers will reach the best level in nearly 20 years.
Wang Jie, a citizen of Xi'an, Shaanxi: On weekends, we like to take our children close to nature, and feel that the ecological environment at home is becoming better and better.
Build a highland of inland reform and opening up, deeply integrate into the overall situation of jointly building the "Belt and Road", and the ancient land of Sanqin, the vitality of opening up and development continues to burst. From January to May this year, the China Europe Train Chang'an has run nearly 1400 trains in total, with its main indicators ranking among the top in the country. More than 30 reform pilot experiences of the pilot free trade zone have been replicated and promoted nationwide.
Zhang Xiaoguang, Director of Shaanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission: Implement the important speech and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, always keep in mind the "largest country", accelerate the construction of modern industrial system, better integrate into and serve the new development pattern, and make greater contributions to the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country in Shaanxi.
