A few days ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Fuzhou, Fujian for investigation and research.
Returning to this familiar city, Xi Jinping said affectionately: "I have worked in Fuzhou for six or seven years and came here at the age of 37. I spent the best years of my life here. I have a lot of experience."
From 1990 to 1996, Xi Jinping served as secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee.
During this period, he built the "Vegetable Basket Project", promoted the transformation of shantytowns, protected the three lanes and seven alleys, planned the "3820" project... all of these initiatives took root and have been taken by the local people to this day.

"Do you know what Fuzhou people are most afraid of?"
Once, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, asked the staff around him.
Some people say this, and some answer that.
Xi Jinping uncovered the mystery: "The most feared thing in Fuzhou is the ruthlessness of fire and water. Why? Many of the places in Fuzhou are wooden houses, and when the fire burns, it will be a large area. When the Minjiang River floods, the water will flow back in, and the people will suffer. ."
Under the leadership of Xi Jinping, Fuzhou built a strong reinforced concrete flood dike, which solved the flood problem for thousands of years in one fell swoop.
At the same time, Xi Jinping vigorously promoted the renovation project of shanty towns, and new houses were erected. The former "Paper Fuzhou City" became a "blessed state" for living and working in peace and contentment.
People's livelihood is no small matter.
During the time when he was in charge of Fuzhou, Xi Jinping stipulated that the municipal party committee and the municipal government should do at least 20 practical things for the citizens of Fuzhou every year.
Among them, the "vegetable basket project" ranks first.
Because of frequent typhoons and floods, vegetable plots are washed away at every turn, and Fuzhou's vegetable supply chain is broken if it is broken.
Moreover, since Fujian has more mountains and less land, you cannot grow food if you grow vegetables.
Xi Jinping is determined to solve the problem of citizens’ difficulty in eating vegetables through the “vegetable basket project”.
Xi Jinping proposed to list Langqi Island and Minhou’s Nantong and Nanyu as the largest vegetable basket bases in Fuzhou.
At the same time, he asked to vigorously develop non-staple food production bases and vegetable production bases, increase investment in pig raising, chicken raising, duck raising, and vegetable planting to ensure market supply.
During the period of Xi Jinping's administration, Fuzhou's vegetable supply pattern of “mainly local production, supplemented by outside supply” has basically taken shape. Meat, poultry, eggs, vegetables, and fruits are abundant, and prices are stable.
At that time, media investigations revealed that the "Vegetable Basket Project" was rated as the first item of "the most satisfying facts" by Fuzhou citizens.
This time, when Xi Jinping was investigating in Fuzhou, he still did not forget his advice: To build a city well and manage it well, we must put the food basket, human settlements, urban space and other tasks in an important position and earnestly do a good job.
On the afternoon of March 24, Xi Jinping waved his greetings to the citizens when he was visiting Fuzhou Fushan Country Park.

A piece of three lanes and seven alleys, half of modern Chinese history.
The Three Lanes and Seven Alleys were formed in Jin and Tang, and they flourished in modern times.
Not only does it retain the thousand-year-old lanes and lanes, but also famous historical figures such as Lin Zexu, Yan Fu, and Lin Juemin have walked out.
This treasured land of outstanding people was at stake in the urban development and construction of the 1980s.
In an emergency, a member of the CPPCC in Fuzhou wrote a letter to the new secretary of the municipal party committee, Xi Jinping.
Upon hearing the news, Xi Jinping immediately requested the suspension of the demolition.
In March 1991, Xi Jinping held a cultural relic work site office meeting in Sanfang Qixiang.
He said earnestly and earnestly: "Do a good job in the protection, restoration and utilization of the cultural relics in the city, not only to prevent them from being destroyed, but also to make them more brilliant and pass on to future generations."
From demolition to repair, there is a world of difference in one word.
The conflict between urban development and cultural heritage protection is the test of historical foresight.
On January 24, 1992, Xi Jinping published an article "Handling the Eight Relations in Urban Construction" in the "Fujian Daily", in which it wrote: "The protection of ancient cities is consistent with the development of modernization. The protection, construction and utilization of ancient cities should be Combine organically."
In 2008, Xi Jinping has served in the central government.
When the relevant leaders of Fuzhou went to Beijing on a business trip, they reported to him on the protection of the three lanes and seven alleys.
Xi Jinping said with emotion that the three lanes and seven alleys should be well protected!
In those days, some of our comrades had limitations in their views on the problem, which was also the confusion of youth and the troubles of growth.
Xi Jinping's protection of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys has become a popular story among the citizens of Fuzhou.
A few days ago, Xi Jinping once again visited Sanfang Qixiang.
He emphasized that to protect traditional neighborhoods, ancient buildings, and cultural relics is to preserve the history and context of the city.
On the afternoon of March 24, when Xi Jinping inspected the historical and cultural district of Sanfang Qixiang in Fuzhou, he waved his greetings to tourists and citizens.

In September 1990, at the Minjiang Vocational University Orientation and Military-civilian Joint Construction Conference, a tall young cadre walked into the venue.
He was Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the new principal of this school.
At the beginning of his tenure, Xi Jinping made it clear: “I have been improperly named as the leader of a prestigious school since I was concerned about the construction of this school and should solve specific problems in a timely manner.” Since then, even though Xi Jinping is busy at work, he still seeks common development with the teachers and students of the school through on-site office work and other methods.
When Xi Jinping took office, the campus area was only 35 acres, and the whole school had only 3 buildings.
He personally planned and deployed, presided over the construction of campus infrastructure, and formulated development plans.
In October 1991, the "Yuying Building" with a total construction area of more than 6000 square meters was completed.
At the celebration of the completion of "Yuying Building" and the 7th anniversary of the founding of the school, everyone found that Xi Jinping did not stand in the middle position according to the "usual" when taking photos, but arranged the old leaders, old comrades and guests in the middle, and stood on the side. on.
In April 1996, Xi Jinping left office to take up his new post.
He wrote to all the teachers, students and staff of Min University, and wrote: I will continue to focus on Min University, love Min University, and do my part for the development of Min University.
Today, Minjiang Vocational University has merged with Fuzhou Teachers College into Minjiang College.
This time the "old principal" Xi Jinping returned to campus. As soon as he entered Minjiang College, he sighed with emotion: The vicissitudes of the vicissitudes of development have been such a big development in the past when he slapped so much!
In the exhibition hall of Minjiang College’s school history and application-oriented school-running achievements, “not seeking the largest, but seeking the best, but seeking to meet the needs of society” is very eye-catching.
The school-running philosophy proposed by Xi Jinping that year has far-reaching influence.
On the morning of March 25, Xi Jinping waved to the teachers and students when he was inspecting Minjiang College in Fuzhou.

In June 1990, a passenger ship sailed on the Minjiang River.
At the end of the passenger ship, there is a simple table with a map of Fuzhou spread out on it.
The newly appointed Secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee Xi Jinping and his colleagues were looking at the map while discussing the direction of Fuzhou's development.
At that time, all parts of China showed a development trend of hundreds of horses competing with each other and thousands of sails competing for development.
As one of the open coastal cities, how can Fuzhou seize the historical opportunity to achieve better and faster development?
"We must speed up the pace of economic construction, achieve a new level every 3 to 5 years, and change the situation in Hong Kong, Macao, Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan and South China Sea as soon as possible. We are in the'back row seated' situation." At a meeting, Xi Jinping said, "Now We organized a team and prepared to do some in-depth discussions to study what level of development Fuzhou City will reach in 20 years."
This team is personally instructed by Xi Jinping.
In 1992, under his initiative and auspices, the "Fuzhou 20-year Economic and Social Development Strategic Plan" was released.
This document scientifically planned the strategic goals of Fuzhou's economic and social development in 3, 8 and 20 years, so it was called the "3820" Project.
Starting from the long-term goal, Xi Jinping comprehensively considers the future development of Fuzhou.
In his view, Fuzhou is basically a city that has not been "carved" before. To develop, it must have a long-term vision.
Under the guidance of the "3820" project, a number of key leading industrial clusters have formed a large scale, and major infrastructure such as Changle International Airport, Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway, and Fuzhou Port have been implemented one after another, which has accumulated strong potential for the development of Fuzhou.
The blueprint drawn by the "3820" project will be fully realized in 2010.
One day, several retired old comrades in Fuzhou met together, and everyone said with emotion: "Now, General Secretary Xi’s'Chinese Dream' reminds us of the '3820' that year. The '3820' is what General Secretary Xi proposed to us. "Fuzhou Dream". Today, this dream has been fully realized, and the realization of the "Chinese Dream" is not far away."
