General Secretary Xi Jinping has strong feelings for this land of Xinjiang.

"Being a native of Xinjiang"

  In April 2014, Xi Jinping went to Xinjiang for investigation and research.

He came to visit Xinjiang Fruit Industry Group Co., Ltd. in Urumqi.

  In the exhibition hall, a variety of dried fruit products were dazzling. Xi Jinping was invited to taste while listening to the introduction. He praised the dried apricots on the tree for "unique flavor" and Ruoqiang dates for "good taste".

Picking up the bag of raisins, he asked, "It's useless fertilizer, right?" Seeing a package of Hetian jujube priced at 190 yuan, he asked the people how much benefit they could get.

"Do you have a brand?" "Xinjiang Fruits and Central Asia converge, how to further build advantages?"...

  At the symposium held during the investigation, Xi Jinping recalled the story of young intellectuals joining the Corps in the 1960s and 1970s.

He said: "I was in northern Shaanxi at the time, and I was longing for it. Su Dongpo's poem said, "I eat 300 lychees every day, and I will grow up to be a Lingnan native." Xinjiang has roasted naan, pilaf, lamb skewers, cantaloupe, grapes, etc. We have ample reasons to say'being Xinjiang people forever.'"

"Hold together like pomegranate seeds"

  In March 2017, the Xinjiang delegation of the Fifth Session of the Twelfth National People's Congress was deliberated. A representative showed Xi Jinping a photo of Uncle Kurban’s family.

  This is a happy family.

  What is the story between Xi Jinping and this family?

  The Uncle Kurban referred to by this representative was a Uyghur farmer in Yutian County, Xinjiang.

In the 1950s, this ordinary citizen named Kurban Turum, expressed his gratitude for his liberation and thought of "riding a donkey to Beijing to visit Chairman Mao" many times. Later, he received Chairman Mao Zedong twice. Interview.

  In January 2017, Xi Jinping wrote back to Uncle Kurban’s descendants, saying: “I hope that your whole family will continue to be like Uncle Kurban and work with fellow villagers to be a model for loving the party, the motherland, and the Chinese nation, and promote The masses of all ethnic groups hug each other tightly like pomegranate seeds, and work together to create a better tomorrow for Xinjiang under the leadership of the party."

  In March of the same year, when participating in the Xinjiang delegation’s deliberations, Xi Jinping used a vivid metaphor to emphasize the cherishment of national unity: cherish national unity as if cherishing your own eyes, cherish national unity as cherishment of your own life, and hug closely like pomegranate seeds. together.

"This is a good practice"

  How to better implement the party's religious policy in Xinjiang is a question Xi Jinping has been thinking about.

  In April 2014, in Ayagmangan Village, Tokzake Town, Shufu County, Xinjiang, it was heard that Tuerxun Malayti was the imam of the mosque in the village. Xi Jinping immediately asked him to learn more about the management of the mosque and the villagers. Status of religious activities.

  Turxun told the general secretary that he paid attention to preaching the party's good policies when explaining the scriptures so that the masses would better understand.

  "This approach is very good." Xi Jinping said that religion must adapt to socialist society and actively promote good ideas that are conducive to socialist construction so that the people can live a happy and beautiful life.

In the big socialist family, only national unity and religious harmony can all undertakings flourish.

  Xi Jinping attaches great importance to religious work.

He clearly pointed out that "the biggest mass work in Xinjiang is ethnic unity and religious harmony."

  In May 2014, Xi Jinping emphasized at the second Central Xinjiang Work Symposium that it is necessary to carefully do religious work, actively guide religions to adapt to socialist society, and give full play to the role of religious people and believers in promoting economic and social development. positive effects.

"It's amazing, I admire you very much"

  The formation of a production and construction corps in Xinjiang that is responsible for the mission of cultivating and defending the border is a strategic layout of the Party Central Committee for ruling the country and an important strategy for strengthening border governance.

  "We must strengthen the XPCC's ability to maintain stability and defend borders, and earnestly play its special and important role in safeguarding the unity of the motherland, maintaining national unity, and maintaining Xinjiang's stability."

  "The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps must scientifically handle the relations between the land reclamation and the maintenance of stability and border protection, the Corps, and the locality, and exert its efforts on fundamental, fundamental, and long-term issues."

  ...

  In the past few years, Xi Jinping has put forward requirements for the construction of the Corps at important meetings such as the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the Second Central Xinjiang Work Symposium.

  In April 2014, Xi Jinping came to the Communist Youth League farm of the 6th Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps under the rain.

The scenes of his discussions and exchanges with cadres and employees of the Corps were impressive.

  "I'm an ordinary soldier in the 185th Regiment of the Tenth Division of the Corps..." Ma Junwu, a militiaman in uniform, tells the touching story of the construction of a husband and wife post in the Sandek post on the Sino-Kazakh border for 26 years: the post is only 5 meters away from the boundary river. , Surrounded by Gobi, weeds and sand dunes, it was not connected to lights, telephones, and televisions until 2006.

For 26 years, he was loyal to his duty and fulfilling his mission. In winter, he kept on patrolling under the severe cold of minus tens of degrees Celsius. In summer, the mosquitoes raged, requiring a lot of willpower and endurance, and he still stuck to his post...

  Xi Jinping sighed sincerely: "It's amazing, I admire you very much."

  Xi Jinping asked with concern: "How many days can I see a person?"

  Ma Junwu said: "Now there are too many people, and there are still tourists. I haven't seen anyone in the past few months."

  "Amazing." Xi Jinping once again expressed his respect.

  In his speech, Xi Jinping emphasized that the existence and development of the Corps is by no means expedient, but a long-term plan.

Under the new situation, the work of the Corps can only be strengthened, not weakened.

"Make the days of the folks get better day by day"

  "Darcy has white flowers and flowers, and the crops fail to be harvested. The adults sing hungry, and Balangzi has bare buttocks. When the bitter days come to an end, I look forward to the sweet days." This is the old generation of people in Daxi Village, Xinjiang. His limericks are also a true portrayal of the former Daxi Village.

Nowadays, Daxi Village has undergone tremendous changes and has become a "star village in the construction of a well-off nation".

  Xi Jinping has been thinking about this Xinjiang village.

  In June 2009, Xi Jinping went to Daxi Village to inspect grassroots party building work.

In April 2014, Xi Jinping mentioned Daxi Village when he visited Xinjiang.

In September 2014, Xi Jinping replied to Shawuer Manglik, the party branch secretary of Daxi Village, and all the villagers, saying: "I have been thinking about everyone."

  In the letter, Xi Jinping pointed out that the development and changes in Daxi Village show that with the good policies of the party and the concerted efforts of the people of all ethnic groups, the villagers will surely live a comfortable and happy life.

He emphasized that the emphasis on the development of Xinjiang is the grassroots.

I hope that the village party branch will give full play to its role as a battle fortress, unite the villagers like a magnet, strengthen the determination and confidence to follow the party, implement the party’s good policies to every household, and make production better. Make the national unity better and make the villagers’ lives better day by day.
