　　"Promote all ethnic groups in the big family of the Chinese nation to stick together like pomegranate seeds".

　　On the afternoon of the 5th, 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, participated in the deliberations of the Inner Mongolia delegation at the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress where he is located.

When it comes to national work, he again refers to the metaphor of "pomegranate seeds".

　　In 2018, Xi Jinping, who participated in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation for the first time, proposed to "promote all ethnic groups to stick together like pomegranate seeds".

　　Inner Mongolia is located in northern China, where 55 ethnic groups live. It is the earliest ethnic autonomous region established in China.

Regarding the significance of ethnic unity to Inner Mongolia, Xi Jinping once said, "For Inner Mongolia, to maintain social harmony and stability, we must consolidate and develop the overall situation of ethnic unity."

　　Five years later, on the same occasion, Xi Jinping once again mentioned "pomegranate seeds", from which a word "common" can be read for consideration.

Communion, first and foremost, represents unity.

　　"Today in Inner Mongolia is the result of the common struggle of the people of all ethnic groups, and the future of Inner Mongolia still requires the unity and struggle of the people of all ethnic groups." Looking back on the achievements of Inner Mongolia, Xi Jinping pointed out the key - ethnic unity.

　　China is a unified multi-ethnic country. If all ethnic groups are united and harmonious, the country will prosper, the society will be stable, and the people will be happy; otherwise, the country will decline, the society will be turbulent, and the people will suffer.

As the first ethnic autonomous region established in China and also a "model autonomous region", Inner Mongolia is a "model student" of ethnic unity and has achieved fruitful work.

　　At the deliberation site, some representatives shared the local practice: in order for the children to better understand the metaphor of "pomegranate seeds", the teachers peeled the pomegranate for the children to see in the classroom, so that the children could understand the unity.

　　The practice of Inner Mongolia is a microcosm of the nation's forging a sense of community of the Chinese nation, and it is also a microcosm of the unity and progress of all ethnic groups in China.

　　How to continue to forge a sense of community of the Chinese nation?

Xi Jinping gave the answer: not only should we do visible and tangible work, but we should also do a lot of things that "moisten things in silence".

All work must be "grasped in the real and done in the details, and must be tangible, meaningful, and effective."

Together, it also represents recognition.

　　To consolidate the consciousness of the community of the Chinese nation, cultural identity is the deepest identity, the root of national unity and the soul of national harmony.

　　At present, the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and ethnic work is facing many new phased characteristics.

　　How to shape identity?

A pair of relationships needs to be handled well - the relationship between the consciousness of the Chinese nation's community and the consciousness of various nationalities.

　　Xi Jinping's thoughts on this are hereby: To guide all ethnic groups to always put the interests of the Chinese nation first, their national consciousness must obey and serve the consciousness of the community of the Chinese nation, and at the same time, in the process of realizing the overall interests of the community of the Chinese nation, all ethnic groups must be well realized. specific interests.

　　"Hanism and local nationalism are not conducive to the construction of the Chinese nation." At the Central Ethnic Work Conference in 2021, Xi Jinping pointed out.

As he once emphasized by the Inner Mongolia delegation: "Remember that the Han nationality cannot be separated from the minority, the minority cannot be separated from the Han, and the minority nationalities are also separated from each other."

　　Six contract styles, Kyushu co-consistent.

This is the foundation of the Chinese nation.

Together, it reflects the original intention.

　　"The reform, development and stability of Inner Mongolia has been done well, and it has positive significance nationwide and internationally." Xi Jinping once pointed out the unique role of Inner Mongolia.

　　In his speeches when he participated in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation five times, he also based on the region and cared for the whole country, reflecting the original intention and mission of the Communist Party of China to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　In 2018, he said that to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, the landmark indicators are that all rural poor people will be lifted out of poverty and all impoverished counties will be lifted; , he said that our party has no special interests of its own, and the party puts the interests of the masses first at all times; in 2021, he emphasized that the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development, narrowing the development gap between urban and rural areas, and realizing the comprehensive development and common prosperity of all people.

　　Today, Inner Mongolia has completed the goal of poverty alleviation as scheduled, and has embarked on a new journey to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way with the people of all ethnic groups in the country.

　　In this year's deliberation, Xi Jinping once again emphasized that we must vigorously carry forward the great spirit of founding the party and never forget our original mission.

"Maintain the great unity of the Chinese nation and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation".

　　The story of "pomegranate seeds" will continue to revive the Chinese nation on a new journey.
