CCTV News (News broadcast): Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Ningxia twice, pointing out the direction for Ningxia in the new era. Bearing in mind the General Secretary's instructions, the cadres and the masses of Ningxia should emancipate their minds, work hard and forge ahead, and comprehensively build a beautiful new Ningxia with economic prosperity, national unity, beautiful environment and people's prosperity.
Ningxia is located in the northwest of China. The Yellow River water nourishes the northern plain of Ningxia, which is known as "the southern part of the Yangtze River". Xihaigu mountain area in the south of Ningxia was once the main battlefield for poverty alleviation, which was dry and dry and barren.
In July 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to Ningxia for an investigation. He came to Minning Town, Yongning County, Yinchuan City. This is the ecological resettlement site that Fujian and Ningxia jointly built when he was the deputy secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee in 1997. The former Minning Village has developed into Minning Town. From a poor immigrant village with only 8000 people in the past, it has developed into a "Jiangnan Town" with more than 60000 people on the frontier. From a dry beach in the past, it has become a golden beach today. The "Fujian Nanjing Cooperation", as a model of the East West poverty alleviation cooperation and relocation poverty alleviation, has become a typical example in the history of poverty alleviation in China. The people of all ethnic groups in Ningxia have worked together to develop characteristic industries, implement ecological migration and relocation for poverty alleviation. In 2020, all 803000 poor people in Ningxia will be lifted out of poverty, and all 9 poor counties will be lifted out of poverty, saying goodbye to absolute poverty historically.
Zhang Dongxue, a villager in Yuanlong Village, Minning Town, Yongning County, Yinchuan City, Ningxia: You can see that this village has a new look. It is very convenient for children to go to school, to seek medical treatment, to travel, and to take buses. The living standard is rising steadily.
Now, in order to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation, Ningxia has improved the dynamic monitoring mechanism to prevent poverty returning, improved the regular assistance mechanism for rural low-income population, cultivated and expanded wine, medlar, beef cattle, tan sheep, cold vegetables and other characteristic industries, used more than 75% of its financial resources for people's livelihood, implemented the action of millions of immigrants to become rich, and comprehensively promoted rural revitalization.
The Yellow River is rich in Ningxia. The total length of the Yellow River flowing through Ningxia is 397 kilometers. The whole territory of Ningxia belongs to the Yellow River basin. In June 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Ningxia and pointed out that the Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and a precious resource for the survival and development of the Chinese nation and civilization. Ningxia should have an overall view and responsibility, cherish the Yellow River more and protect it carefully. We will strive to build a pilot area for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin.
Conscientious instructions and heavy responsibilities lie on our shoulders. Ningxia has built standardized embankments along the whole line by building flood control projects and ecological restoration projects; We will promote the comprehensive management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, and address the problems of illegal occupation, mining, and construction of the main stream of the Yellow River; Make efficient use of the Yellow River water, protect and make good use of the Yellow River water, and make every effort to promote the construction of a pilot area for ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin.
Wang Jingshan, Chief Engineer of Ningxia Water Resources Department: The proposition of Yellow River protection seems to be in the riverway, but actually it is rooted on the bank. We earnestly shoulder the responsibility of the times for the protection and management of the Yellow River, and build the Yellow River into a happy river with clean water, green banks and beautiful scenery.
General Secretary Xi Jinping is very concerned about the ecological environment protection of Helan Mountain. In June 2020, when he visited Ningxia, he pointed out that Helan Mountain is an important physical and geographical boundary and an important ecological security barrier in northwest China, guarding the ecological security of northwest and north China. We should strengthen the top-level design, pay close attention to the implementation of responsibilities, strengthen supervision and inspection, and resolutely protect the ecology of Helan Mountain. Ningxia should combine the development of wine industry with strengthening the management of the Yellow River beach area and strengthening the ecological recovery, improve the technical level and create its own famous brand.
Bearing in mind the General Secretary's instructions, Ningxia implemented systematic governance and overall restoration of Helan Mountain, withdrew all mining rights in Helan Mountain Reserve, and built abandoned mines into ecological parks, making Helan Mountain full of vitality again. Relying on the unique ecological environment at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, Ningxia has developed and utilized wasteland resources, built a 550000 mu high-quality wine grape planting base, and developed wine industry and eco-tourism industry.
The beautiful blueprint has been drawn, and the grand goal is inspiring. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, Ningxia will work together and work hard to comprehensively build a beautiful new modern socialist Ningxia with economic prosperity, national unity, beautiful environment and people's prosperity.
Chu Wei, Director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Ningxia: Follow the direction guided by the General Secretary, take innovation drive as the guide, promote the high-quality development of industrial economy, keep in mind the mandate, forge ahead bravely, and shoulder the historical mission of building a pilot area for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin.
