In the golden autumn, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region ushered in the 60th anniversary of its founding. Today, on this land of 66400 square kilometers, various undertakings are bursting with vitality, and a picture of a thriving new era is slowly unfolding.
Time sharpens faith, and time witnesses the original intention. In October 1938, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army established the first autonomous regime of ethnic minorities at the county level in Chinese history - the Hui Autonomous Government of Yuhai County, Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia Province, which pioneered regional national autonomy in China. In October 1958, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was established in the initial practice place of the Party's policy of regional national autonomy, which became an important mark in the annual ring of the Republic.
Over the past 60 years, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups in Ningxia have written songs of hard struggle and legends of national unity - 3.3 million people have been reduced in poverty, including 719000 in the past five years; In 2017, the regional GDP reached 345.39 billion yuan, 266 times and 1053 times that of 1978 and 1958, respectively.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly given important instructions to the work of Ningxia, put forward general requirements for the development of Ningxia, and pointed out the direction and path.
Ningxia's 60 years of development achievements are the successful practice of China's regional ethnic autonomy system; The moving prospect of 60 years is the epitome of the economic and social development of the western region. Time has witnessed that only by unswervingly adhering to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhering to and improving the system of regional ethnic autonomy, and adhering to reform and opening up, Ningxia will have a better future.
Standing at a new starting point, seizing new opportunities and responding to new challenges, Ningxia should implement the new development concept, firmly fight three major battles, vigorously implement the three major strategies, and accelerate transformation, innovative and high-quality development; We should fully implement the Party's ethnic policy, vigorously promote the cause of national unity and progress, promote exchanges and exchanges among all ethnic groups, and work together for common prosperity and development; We should adhere to the people centred development philosophy and make the achievements of reform and development more beneficial to the people of all ethnic groups.
Striding on the long march of the new era, the people of all ethnic groups in Ningxia will closely unite around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, and work hard to build a more prosperous, stable, harmonious and beautiful Ningxia with more firm confidence, more full enthusiasm and more high morale.
