  He has submitted 17 "Yellow River Proposals" to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for nine consecutive years. Wang Shuli, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that no matter how old he is, the protection of the Mother River will always be "unfinished".

  "I have been determined to protect this mother river since I was young." Wang Shuli recently introduced in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that he was born and worked by the Yellow River, and has deep feelings for the Yellow River.

Over the years, he has surveyed 12,000 kilometers along the Yellow River, and walked through more than 20 cities and more than 30 counties (cities, districts) in 9 provinces along the Yellow River.

  "I have written the investigation into the proposals and suggestions. Since 2013, 17 proposals related to the Yellow River have been submitted, covering the protection of the water quality of the Yellow River, the development and utilization of tourism resources in the Yellow River, the cultural construction of the Yellow River, and the protection of the diversity of the Yellow River. Many fields." Wang Shuli said.

  The protagonist of Wang Shuli's proposal this year is the Yellow River, one of which is to advocate the establishment of a "multi-species biological germplasm resource bank in the estuary of the Yellow River".

"Dongying wild soybeans, millet in the Yellow River floodplain, estuary willow, tamarisk and other species are the unique biological resources of the Yellow River estuary. The establishment of a germplasm resource bank can better protect the precious biological resources of the Yellow River estuary."

  "After 5,464 kilometers of roaring and roaring, the Yellow River enters the sea in Dongying, Shandong. The sediment along the way contains many crop seeds and aquatic animals that grow in the upper reaches." Wang Shuli said that the Yellow River delta at the mouth of the Yellow River has birds. There are 370 species, 685 species of plants and 512 species of insects. It is an important "transit station", wintering place and breeding ground for bird migration in inland Northeast Asia and the Western Pacific Ocean. It is known as the "international airport" for birds. The germplasm resources are of great significance.”

  Wang Shuli suggested that the existing species resources of the Yellow River estuary should be sorted out as soon as possible, and the list should be listed in order of priority according to the degree of biological endangerment, etc.; , the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other scientific research institutions or universities to formulate plans, and come up with relevant plans for the formulation of species resource banks; speed up the establishment of germplasm resource bank projects, and promote the work in a step-by-step manner.

  "The establishment of a multi-species biological germplasm resource bank in the Yellow River estuary will play a positive role in maintaining the balance of river and sea ecosystems, protecting endangered animals and plants, improving biodiversity, and maintaining regional ecological security. development, and effectively promote the productivity of the Yellow River Basin." Wang Shuli said.

  In addition to paying attention to biodiversity, this year Wang Shuli also suggested that state-owned enterprises along the Yellow River participate in the ecological governance of the Yellow River and rural revitalization.

  He suggested that the development direction of different regions should be planned according to the actual situation, and the state-owned enterprises should undertake the comprehensive management of the corresponding regions and even the entire Yellow River Basin to realize overall planning; State-owned enterprises should form comprehensive governance capabilities and realize functional reorganization; through the overall planning of land needs, secondary and tertiary industries should be appropriately developed in rural areas to achieve coordinated development of rural industrial structures.

  "I once mentioned the relevant suggestions for people in the Yellow River floodplain to relocate their villages and houses. In recent years, this work has also achieved results. I insist that the relocation cannot be done all at once." Wang Shuli said that the people who participated in the relocation actively participated in the relocation. For flood and depression control in floodplains, the government should guide them to master the knowledge and measures to deal with flood disasters, so that they can gradually master the rules of the Yellow River swimming and flood occurrence in the experiments of operating floodplains, so as to better develop agricultural production.

  In the past 9 years, some proposals and suggestions made by Wang Shuli have been adopted and absorbed, and some have become the research topics of scholars.

"Protecting the Yellow River is not a matter for me, nor for a generation." The 71-year-old said that in the future, he will do his best to continue the work of protecting the Mother River.
