Learn from the past, learn history with the general secretary丨From border islands to important windows of reform and opening up
On the coast of the South China Sea, thousands of sails are competing, and the tide of reform is surging.
The spring tide hits the shore, the sea and the sky are connected, and the opening door is getting wider and wider.
In 2013 and 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Hainan twice.
On April 10 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again came to Hainan for investigation and research.
Following in the footsteps of the general secretary, we once again came to Hainan, where "green clothes sing and dance without dust, sea immortals ride fish and waves", and explore the development path of this "important window of reform and opening up" in the historical review.
far-reaching
In 110 BC, the Western Han Dynasty set up Zhuya County and Dan'er County on Hainan Island, with 16 counties under it. This is the earliest administrative division name in Hainan history.
Hainan people have always been diligent and brave, rich in glorious revolutionary traditions.
The firm belief of "the red flag will not fall for 23 years" in the Qiongya Revolution and the immortal legend of the "Red Detachment of Women" tell the glorious history of Hainan Island, and are engraved with a bright red on the flag.
The Qiongya Party organization has twice "lost contact" with its superiors for a long time. In the cruel and harsh environment of the enemy's blockade and encirclement and suppression, it insisted on fighting on an isolated island, preserving the revolutionary fire, and made indelible historical achievements for the liberation of the Chinese people.
Ups and downs, vicissitudes of life.
In 1984, Comrade Deng Xiaoping said when talking about running the special economic zone well: "We still need to develop Hainan Island. If we can develop Hainan Island's economy rapidly, it will be a great victory." Under the guidance of this thought, In accordance with the policy of "promoting development through opening up", the pace of reform and opening up on Hainan Island has been accelerated.
In 1987, Comrade Deng Xiaoping said when meeting foreign guests: "We are working on a bigger special zone, which is the Hainan Island Special Economic Zone. Hainan Island is about the same size as Taiwan."
On April 13, 1988, the first session of the Seventh National People's Congress passed the decision to establish Hainan Province and the Hainan Special Economic Zone.
Thirteen days later, the Hainan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Hainan Provincial People's Government were officially listed.
Since then, Hainan, the beautiful island of the motherland, has obtained unprecedented development opportunities and entered a new historical stage of deepening reform and expanding opening up.
Continued itinerary
At the beginning of the establishment of Hainan Province, about 17% of the population did not have enough food and clothing, and the central mountainous areas had not even broken away from the "slash-and-burn" production method.
In 1987, the GDP of Hainan was only 5.728 billion yuan, and the local fiscal revenue was less than 300 million yuan.
Many "old Hainan" recalled that before Hainan was established as a province, there was no traffic light on the road in Haikou City, electricity was in short supply, and candles were a necessity for residents' homes. "Even an iron nail has to be bought outside the island."
The reformers and pioneers who went south hoped to sow, cultivate, think and sail here.
They said, "I want to use the treasure land of Hainan to find an elephant of scientific socialism."
For more than 30 years, Hainan has handed over such an answer: Hainan's main economic indicators have achieved tens or even a hundred-fold increase; Hainan's total GDP in 2021 will be 647.520 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.2% at constant prices; Hainan The per capita disposable income of permanent residents in the province was 30,457 yuan, a nominal increase of 9.1% year-on-year.
History is connected by a series of successive struggles.
In April, when everything flourished and was full of vitality, it witnessed the key node of Hainan's development.

——In April 34 years ago, China's youngest province and largest special economic zone was born.

——In April 4 years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Hainan again, attended the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Hainan Province and opened a special economic zone and delivered an important speech, announcing that the Party Central Committee decided to support the establishment of a free trade pilot zone in the whole island of Hainan, and support Hainan's gradual exploration Steadily advance the construction of a free trade port with Chinese characteristics.
Hainan has become a new business card for the country's opening to the outside world.
——In April this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again inspected Hainan.
Another April, another spring.
The gene for reform
Hainan was born and prospered because of reform and opening up.
A reform in Hainan has twice become the deliberation content of the 18th Central Deep Restructuring Conference——
In June 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the 13th meeting of the 18th Central Deep Restructuring Group, and agreed that Hainan Province should carry out the pilot reform of "multi-planning" reform in the overall planning of economic and social development, urban and rural planning, and land use planning. .
A year later, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the 25th meeting of the 18th Central Committee Deep Restructuring, which reviewed and approved the "Report on the Pilot Reform of "Multiple Regulations in One" in Hainan Province.
The meeting pointed out that Hainan has taken steps and explored experience since the pilot reform of "multi-plan integration" in the province has been carried out for one year.
In April 2018, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Hainan, he went to the Hainan Provincial Government Data Center to view the construction and operation of the data center and the application display in the "multi-plan integration" and other fields through a huge screen. Actively explore and create more experience in construction.
Hainan's construction of a national ecological civilization pilot zone affects the heart of the general secretary——
"Green mountains, green water, blue sea and blue sky are the biggest costs of building an international tourist island, which must be cherished and carefully cared for." "The protection of the ecological environment should be the fundamental foothold of Hainan's development." The construction of civilization is here to stay.
On January 24, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the sixth meeting of the 19th Central Deep Reform Commission, which reviewed and approved the Implementation Plan for the National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone (Hainan).
"The Party Central Committee has decided to support Hainan in building a national ecological civilization pilot zone, encourage Hainan Province to develop a path of harmonious development between man and nature, and explore experience for the national ecological civilization construction." General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized.
Dare to try, dare to be the first.
Thanks to the continuous deepening of reforms, Hainan has become one of the most open regions in China.
In 2001, the Boao Forum for Asia permanently settled in Hainan. General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the forum's annual conferences in 2013, 2015 and 2018 and delivered keynote speeches. A bright future for Asia and the world points the way and gathers strength.
Boao, a seaside town with blue sea and sky and swaying coconut shadows, has grown from a little-known fishing village to a "diplomatic town" that has attracted worldwide attention.
Hainan uses international platforms such as the Boao Forum for Asia to deepen foreign exchanges, seize the opportunities of the "Belt and Road" initiative, and go out to the world with a more open mind.
After more than 30 years of unremitting efforts, Hainan has developed from a border island to an important window for my country's reform and opening up.
Hainan, which rides the wind and waves, competes for the first place, and deeply integrates with the world, makes the once "ends of the earth" no longer far away.
