On March 5, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, came to the Inner Mongolia delegation to participate in the deliberations of the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress.
This is the fifth consecutive year since 2018 that Xi Jinping has conducted in-depth exchanges with representatives of the National People's Congress from Inner Mongolia and discussed the country's interests.
In 2018, Xi Jinping was elected to the 13th National People's Congress of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
He once stated his original intention in this way: "The selection of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to participate in the election expresses the importance the Party Central Committee attaches to the ethnic frontier areas, and reflects the Party Central Committee's determination to accelerate the development of underdeveloped areas and win the tough battle against poverty."
In the past five years, Xi Jinping has conveyed his consistent concern for economic and social development by performing his duties as "this group".
National unity: forging a sense of community of the Chinese nation
"Three thousand orphans entered Inner Mongolia", Xi Jinping mentioned this historical story when he participated in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation in March 2021.
During the difficult period of natural disasters, the herdsmen in Inner Mongolia offered love and responsibility, raised "children of the country", and vividly exemplified the brotherhood and mutual help of compatriots of all ethnic groups in the Chinese nation.
As the earliest ethnic autonomous region established in China, Inner Mongolia has a glorious tradition of promoting ethnic unity and shoulders a great responsibility.
"National unity is the lifeblood of people of all ethnic groups." Every time he visits the Inner Mongolia delegation, ethnic work has always been the focus of Xi Jinping's attention.
Some comments pointed out that each year Xi Jinping's speeches at the Inner Mongolia delegation have become a window to observe the work of the Chinese nation.
The fact is that, from "promoting all ethnic groups to stick together like pomegranate seeds" to "doing the work carefully and solidly in promoting ethnic unity", Xi Jinping, based in Inner Mongolia, looks at the whole country, and not only puts forward the macro goals of ethnic work, but also has Specific measures are clearly required.
Following 2018 and 2021, when Xi Jinping participated in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation this year, he once again emphasized the "outline" of national work in the new era - to consolidate the consciousness of the Chinese nation's community, and pointed out that we must do both visible and tangible things. Work, but also do a lot of "moisturizing things silently" things.
The outside world has noticed that whether it is "publicity and education on the history and culture of the whole region" or "the construction of public cultural facilities", Xi Jinping particularly emphasizes the role of "culture" in ethnic unity.
As he said, cultural identity is the deepest identity, the root of national unity and the soul of national harmony.
What is "moisturizing and silent", the answer may lie in it.
Ecological Protection: Building the Great Green Wall
"From 'tree chopping' to 'tree watcher', the change in your identity is a microcosm of the transformation of our country's industrial structure." "'Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', which is actually an added value. "In March 2021, facing the representatives of the National People's Congress from the Daxing'anling Forest Farm in Inner Mongolia, Xi Jinping calculated an "ecological account" to indicate the "root solution" for environmental improvement in Inner Mongolia -- transforming the industrial structure.
When it comes to Inner Mongolia, it is often the first picture that comes to people's minds.
On the other hand, the fragile ecological environment is a challenge that Inner Mongolia has always faced.
As an important ecological security barrier in northern China, its ecological status is related to the national ecological security.
In the past five years, whether it is to build a "Green Great Wall", or to say "no" to the idea of "exchanging economic growth at the expense of the environment", whether it is to emphasize "implementing a good balance of grass and livestock, prohibiting grazing and resting grazing", or saying "no" to the idea of "exchanging the environment for economic growth". "Coordinating the management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand systems", ecological protection is a key word that Xi Jinping talks about every year when he participates in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation.
When participating in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation this year, Xi Jinping further pointed out that it is necessary to unswervingly follow a new path of high-quality development oriented by ecological priority and green development.
It is not difficult to find out how to build a thousand miles of green from "Inner Mongolia's industrial development cannot only focus on sheep, coal, soil, and gas", to "tree-cutting people" to "tree-seeking people", and then to "a new path for high-quality development". The Great Wall, for five years, has always had the same answer.
Benefiting the People: The Most Important Achievement
Whether it is maintaining national unity or strengthening ecological protection, there is a common foothold: for the people living here.
"Benefiting the people must be regarded as the most important political achievement." In the "word cloud map" composed of Xi Jinping's speech when he participated in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation in five years, the word "people" is the most eye-catching.
"Benefiting the people" is a matter of life.
In the face of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Xi Jinping told the story of people first and life first, "No matter how old or sick we are, we will never give up. The oldest patient we have successfully treated since the outbreak is 108 years old."
"Benefiting the people", there are also small things in daily life.
Faced with the renovation of rural indoor toilets, Xi Jinping carefully asked about the shortcomings that must be filled in the improvement of the rural living environment. "Is it a flush toilet or a dry toilet? Is it a centralized septic tank or a septic tank per household?"
"Benefiting the people" means more determination to face the problem head-on.
Faced with the problems of poverty alleviation, Xi Jinping said bluntly, "The masses are very disgusted with the formalism, bureaucracy and fraud in the poverty alleviation work in some places, and they must be seriously resolved."
"The people's worries, I will read; the people's expectations, I will do." From national unity to ecological protection to the benefit of the people, to the Inner Mongolia delegation in five years, Xi Jinping's consistent concern is undoubtedly the This is the best interpretation.
