Join forces to protect Lin Zexu's ruins
Fuzhou City, Fujian Province is Lin Zexu’s hometown, where a series of precious remains including Lin Zexu’s former residence, birthplace, and memorial hall remain.
Due to historical reasons, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, these relics all had outstanding problems such as disrepair, severe damage, and occupation of houses.
In May 1990, "People's Daily" reflected the problems of protecting Lin Zexu's ruins. Comrade Xi Zhongxun, then vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, gave important instructions.
In July 1991, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, instructed on the relevant reporting materials: pay close attention to the restoration of Lin Zexu's former residence and open the cemetery. Since then, he has studied the restoration of Lin Zexu's remains several times, including the resumption of Lin Zexu's birthplace.
On June 3, 1995, a bronze statue of Lin Zexu was erected at Baihuting, the southern gate of Fuzhou. At the unveiling ceremony, Xi Jinping said with deep affection: "Today, the people in his hometown erected a bronze statue of Lin Zexu to inspire himself and educate future generations so that the great spirit of the Chinese nation embodied in Lin Zexu will always carry forward."
The protection of cultural relics is to leave history and leave a common national memory.
The story of Xi Zhongxun’s three-protection of the ancient city wall in Xi'an is still spread as a story. He once said: "To continue the history of the city, some historical symbols should be left, and nothing that is not real is empty."
"We must protect the historical and cultural heritage of the city as much as we cherish our lives." From the ancient city Zhengding to the Rongcheng city of Fuzhou, to the capital Beijing... From protecting an alley, cherishing a city, to planning the whole country, Xi Jinping has always been the same as his father.

Spiritual inheritance in two banyan trees
In the "Lanyuan" villa of the Shenzhen Guest House, a banyan tree stood upright and green. This banyan tree was planted by Xi Zhongxun in 2000. Xi Zhongxun is one of the main founders and important founders of Guangdong's reform and opening up. This banyan tree has also become a symbol of his roots in southern Guangdong.
From "one horse first" to "ten thousand horses gallop", from "one flower alone" to "hundred flowers in full bloom", the pioneers of Guangdong's reform and opening-up business carried forward the spirit of dare to dare to try and dare to take the lead and break the ice.

More than 10 years later, when General Secretary Xi Jinping went to Guangdong to investigate, he also planted a straight dried alpine ficus with a breast diameter of about 15 cm in the Lotus Mountain Park in Shenzhen. Here, General Secretary Xi Jinping issued a new reform mobilization order: "The reason for coming to Guangdong is to go to the place where China's reform and opening up prevailed, review the historical process of China's reform and opening up on the spot, and continue to push forward reform and opening up. go ahead."
General Secretary Xi Jinping once summed up the spirit of the banyan tree in an article, "It has tenacious vitality, what a barren land, and even rocks and cliffs, it can break out of the ground, it is rooted in the wrong, and it is proud of the sky."
A piece of hot land, two banyan trees, witnessed the historical process of reform and opening up, and also showed the unchanging original intention to continue reform and opening up. This initial heart spans time and space, in the same vein.

During the Sanmenxia period, he sought truth and pragmatism, and made serious investigations and studies, and put forward scientific and highly targeted suggestions for the construction of the Sanmenxia Water Control Project.
Xi Zhongxun once said: "Science must be honest, unclear, unfounded, and unexperimental, know exactly, don't just say anything, if we can't finish things in our life, there are still many things to stay Do it for future generations."
"Governance of the Yellow River focuses on protection and governance." Taking over the baton of his father, General Secretary Xi Jinping is committed to "promoting the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin and creating a new era of the Yellow River Chorus."

Set "tune".
Nowadays, ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin have become national strategies. "To maintain historical patience and strategic determination, success must not be in my spiritual realm and success must have my historical responsibility. It must not only plan for the long term, but also work in the present, drawing a blueprint to the end, one after another. Stubble, let the Yellow River benefit the people."

"Roll up the trousers", Xi Zhongxun is the older brother who walks in the mud and greets people when he sees them, and speaks very easy-goingly. I always hold the masses in my heart, always thinking about doing practical things for the masses.
"Rolling up the trousers", Xi Jinping stepped on the accumulated water to inspect the port. The rain drenched the shirt and continued to move forward... Walking among the people, all the way was easy, and all the way was pragmatic. "Put the people at the highest position in the heart". In one survey at the grass-roots level, Xi Jinping visited the needy and kept going.
"Taking the hands of poor fellows," Xi Zhongxun expressed with emotion: "To accelerate the pace of the construction of the old districts, and not to change the appearance of poverty in the old districts, we are sorry for the people!"
"Holding the hands of poor fellows", Xi Jinping loves the "different people" and speaks the simplest vernacular and the most truthful truth. "Everyone can't build a well-off society in an all-round way." On the vast land of China, poverty alleviation has paved the way for a bright and happy life for hundreds of millions of people.
