Hebei: "ecological priority, green development" is a sonorous step
Yuan Zhiguang Yang Wenjuan Zhang Jihang
"This year, the temperature in Saihanba has been low, and spring and summer seem to come a little later than usual. But when the weather warms up, the forest will be greener and more beautiful." Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm Director Chen Zhiqing said.
This piece of forest in Chen Zhiqing's mouth is the world's largest artificial forest built on the desert, and it is also the result of 60 years of hard work by three generations of Saihanba foresters.
From "a vast landscape" to "the world of forests, the ocean of flowers, and the hometown of clouds", Saihanba not only built a "green Great Wall" for Beijing and Tianjin to block sand and water, but also became "a vivid example of promoting the construction of ecological civilization." ".
On August 23, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when he visited the Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm, "To grasp the construction of ecological civilization, we must rely on both material and spirit. We must inherit the spirit of Saihanba, and deeply understand and implement ecological civilization. concept, make persistent efforts, start a second business, and make further contributions on the new journey to achieve the second centenary goal."
In recent years, the sons and daughters of Yanzhao have adhered to the road of ecological priority and green development, and strived to build a "beautiful Hebei with blue sky, green land and beautiful water".
Today, the green territory of Yanzhao is expanding day by day, and the ecological background of the beautiful Hebei is more and more bright.
"To grasp the construction of ecological civilization, we must rely on both material and spirit."
At an altitude of 1,700 meters above sea level, on the sky bridge of the Saihanba Grand Awakening Forest Farm, lookout Zhao Fuzhou is carefully observing the forest area on the top floor, and he does not dare to relax for a moment.
Near noon, wife Chen Xiuling's hand-rolled noodles were ready, and her son Zhao Dongyang, who was in charge of the fire inspection on the top of the mountain, just arrived at Wanghailou, where his parents were.
"I used to be a firefighter in the Saihanba Forest Fire Brigade, and I applied to be a forest ranger half a year ago." Zhao Dongyang, who ate noodles in a few minutes, said that he used to train every day and was always ready for forest fires. Now almost all of them are on the way to patrol the 4,900-mu responsible forest area.
From "fight" to "defense", although the identity has changed, it is all to protect this forest.
Guardian, the word is mentioned more than once in interviews.
"My father is the first generation of foresters in Saihanba. This forest is the wealth they left to future generations. 'Protecting the forest' is what I will stick to all my life!" 61-year-old Zhao Fuzhou took advantage of the meal. Let's chat.
For 39 years of perseverance, Zhao Fuzhou and Chen Xiuling spent almost all of them in Wanghailou. Three telescopes were replaced, and how many telephones were broken.
In a lonely life, trees have grown, working conditions have improved, and they have grown old.
Zhao Fuzhou, who should retire in 2021, was rehired from the forest farm.
Forest protection has become a mission, he said.
After lunch, Lao Zhao went up to the top floor again and continued his daily life of watching as "boring" in the eyes of others; Xiao Zhao also went to the forest along the route of patrolling the mountains, checking the situation of tree diseases and insect pests as he turned around...
"The construction of ecological civilization depends not only on material but also on spirit." It is the silent perseverance of generations of Saihanba people that makes this forest greener and greener.
Chen Zhiqing said that the Saihanba plantation can not only effectively block the southward invasion of the Hunshandake Sandy Land, but also conserve water sources and purify 284 million cubic meters of fresh water for the lower reaches of the Luan River and Liaohe River every year; prevent soil loss of 5.1355 million tons every year; It can fix 860,300 tons of carbon dioxide and release 598,400 tons of oxygen.
In fact, Saihanba is still on the way to become more green: by 2030, the forest area will reach 1.2 million mu, the forest volume will reach 16 million cubic meters, and the forest coverage rate will reach 86%.
The green hills are green, and the green water is green.
At this time, in Baiyangdian Lake, a few hundred kilometers away from Saihanba, the blue waves are rippling, the reeds are jointing and growing, and the birds in the reeds are dancing with the wind. A beautiful ecological picture makes people feel relaxed and happy.
However, this "Pearl of North China" was once "dusted".
In the past, due to the discharge of domestic sewage and industrial sewage in the upstream cities, the water quality of Baiyangdian Lake continued to deteriorate.
"Never let a drop of sewage flow into Baiyang Lake!" said Li Jinyu, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Hebei Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment. Hebei adheres to internal and external governance, addressing both the symptoms and the root causes, and coordinating the promotion of urban, industrial, agricultural and rural areas, and sources in the Dian District. Pollution control, etc., implement 66 water quality improvement and protection projects in nine categories, and finely control river basin pollution.
In 2021, the overall water quality of Baiyangdiandian District will reach Class III, the best level in 30 years, and it will enter the ranks of good lakes in the country.
"Treat the ecological environment like your own life", Hebei has never stopped on the road of ecological governance and restoration.
In Shijiazhuang, the Hutuo River has become a beautiful river with a sea of flowers and shallow fish; in Qiannanyu, the barren mountains and bald ridges have transformed into "the greenest place in the Taihang Mountains"; "Rising from the ground, the 18-square-kilometer country park is full of beautiful scenery...
The sky here is bluer - in 2021, the average concentration of PM2.5 will be 38.8 micrograms per cubic meter, a year-on-year decrease of 15.3%; the number of excellent days will be 269, accounting for more than 70%.
The average concentration of PM2.5 and the ratio of good days have all reached the best levels in history since the monitoring records began.
The land here is greener - the forest coverage rate of the province has increased to more than 35%, the forest area has reached 99.01 million mu, and the forest volume has reached 175 million cubic meters.
The water here is also clearer - the ratio of excellent water quality at the national test sites in the coastal waters has reached 100% for four consecutive years;
"If you don't make up your mind to adjust the structure, you will not be able to explain to history and the people"
The improvement of the ecological environment is not easy to come by.
In the past, Hebei's traditional development model with a heavy industrial structure, a coal-based energy structure, concentrated resource-based and heavy chemical industries, and high energy consumption and large emissions was also criticized.
"Hebei accounts for 7 of the 10 most polluted cities in the country. If you don't make up your mind to adjust the structure, you will not be able to explain to history and the people." Not only pointed out the problem, but also pointed out the direction of efforts.
The powerful words aroused the confidence and strength of Hebei cadres and masses to "clear the haze and see the sun".
To cure scabies, strong medicine is needed.
In accordance with General Secretary Xi Jinping's request that "Hebei must establish the belief of winning despite difficulties, resolutely go, take the initiative to adjust, and speed up the turn", a tough battle of "climbing the slopes and crossing the hurdles" kicked off in Yanzhao.
Bazhou, located in the center of the Beijing-Tianjin-baozhou triangle, was once one of the important steel bases in Hebei.
According to people familiar with the matter, Bazhou once relied heavily on the steel industry. Except for the two large steel plants of Bazhou Xinli Iron and Steel and Hebei Qianjin Iron and Steel, nearly 80% of the private enterprises in the eastern townships centered on Shengfang Town in Bazhou City are located in Bazhou City. Operating processing plants for steel and related industries.
However, by the end of 2017, Bazhou took the lead in completing the production capacity withdrawal of two steel mills in Hebei Province, with a withdrawal of 4.16 million tons of iron-making capacity and 4.98 million tons of steel-making capacity... The locality has also become a "steel-free city". .
Local people said that the reason why Bazhou vigorously promotes the reduction of overcapacity is that the local party committee and government focus on the adjustment of the industrial structure.
Not only Bazhou, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Hebei iron and steel production enterprises were reduced from 107 to 68, iron and steel production capacity was reduced from a peak of 320 million tons to less than 200 million tons, and urban steel mills such as Shigang and Tangshan were withdrawn. In the main urban area, Xuangang's production capacity has all been withdrawn, and Langfang, Baoding, Hengshui and Zhangjiakou have become "steel-free cities".
"Behind the reduction of steel production capacity, its industrial layout is also being optimized." Shi Qiwei, director of the Raw Material Industry Division of the Hebei Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, said that now Hebei steel production capacity is mainly concentrated in the coastal ports and the resource-rich Tangshan and Handan. The iron and steel industry has realized the transformation from "blooming everywhere, scattered scattered" to "adjacent to the port, along the railway, and high-quality development".
These are not the only things that have changed dramatically.
In Luquan District, Shijiazhuang City, Gao Hongbo, who has been operating a cement factory for more than 10 years, suddenly turned to a modern agricultural industrial park a few years ago.
"I have been in the cement business since 1996, but with the adjustment of the national industrial policy, I realized that the development of modern agriculture is more in line with the future direction, so I contracted 300 mu of barren hills in Yi'an Town, Luquan, and started a green Agricultural product planting demonstration base." Gao Hongbo said in an interview.
According to reports, Luquan District of Shijiazhuang City used to be the "hometown of cement".
However, with the tightening of production capacity reduction and environmental protection measures in Hebei Province, many cement plants have been shut down, and cement plant owners have also switched to other businesses.
This is actually the epitome of Hebei's vigorous promotion of industrial restructuring and its pursuit of green and high-quality development.
According to the data, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Hebei reduced and withdrawn a total of 82.12 million tons of crude steel production capacity, 55.9 million tons of coal production capacity, 11.949 million tons of cement production capacity, 4,999 weight boxes of flat glass, 31.444 million tons of coke production capacity, and 234 million tons of thermal power production capacity. 10,000 kilowatts, fully realizing the production capacity reduction target of key industries.
According to reports, in recent years, with the superposition of development opportunities such as the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the holding of the Winter Olympics, industries such as intelligent manufacturing and electronic information have settled in Yanzhao, and the industrial structure of Hebei has also changed.
Statistics show that Hebei's industrial structure is now being continuously optimized and upgraded on the basis of the transformation from "two-three-one" to "three-two-one", which also means that Hebei has entered a green transformation and high-quality development track.
"As long as there is confidence, loess becomes gold"
Towering Taihang, magnificent mountains and rivers.
In Luotuowan Village, Fuping County, Baoding City, deep in the Taihang Mountains, the road into the village turns round and round, the whole village is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are verdant, rows of brand-new houses are scattered, and the lake beside the road is rippling, and it is refreshing to be in it.
In the village, Shanhuo specialty store, Wangshan tea room, Luotuowan New Year's painting hall, folk art workshop, wine workshop, tofu workshop, quaint new homestays, fragrant snack streets can be seen everywhere. land".
On December 29, 2012, when inspecting poverty alleviation and development work in Fuping County, Hebei Province, General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged the local cadres and the masses, "As long as there is confidence, the loess will turn into gold", "firm confidence", "find the right way" and "appropriate agriculture". Agriculture, forestry, forestry, animal husbandry, and ecotourism development are ecotourism.”
According to General Secretary Xi Jinping's instructions, Luotuowan Village, Fuping County, based on its own profound red cultural heritage, digs deep into green ecological resources, develops the tourism industry with red belts and greens and adapts to local conditions, and adopts the model of "company + village committee + farmers" , so that more villagers can condense in the industrial chain of rural tourism, so that more people can benefit.
According to statistics, the per capita net income of local villagers has grown from 950 yuan in 2012 to 17,480 yuan in 2021.
Rural tourism has helped Luotuowan Village take off its poverty hat, and it has also allowed many people to see the broad space for employment and entrepreneurship.
On the snack street in Luotuowan, many shop owners are villagers who have returned to their hometowns to start businesses.
Gu Yanping, a villager in Luotuowan Village who previously worked in Beijing, said: "I came back in April last year. We have seen the changes in the village. There are no less opportunities for development than outside, so I am very confident."
Develop poverty-relief industries such as edible fungi and alpine forest fruits, introduce tourism companies, and build homestay tourism... Relying on the beautiful ecological environment, Luotuowan Village has developed a rural eco-tourism as the main line, edible fungi, forest fruits, recreational fisheries and other rich people The road to rural revitalization for the common development of industries.
This one is busy promoting rural revitalization, while the other is seizing the development opportunities in the "post-Olympic era".
"We are busy preparing mountain bike races, outdoor camping and other summer tourism projects, which are expected to be open to the public in July." Li Yongtai, executive vice president of Taiwu Ski Town, Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, said that with the help of the Winter Olympics Dongfeng, now Chongli is increasingly famous, more and more tourists come to Chongli for skiing, but also discover the unique ecological charm of Chongli.
As a result, the local area has accelerated the development of multi-season tourism, especially the promotion of summer tourism, which is favored by the market and consumers.
Local people said that in 2022, Zhangjiakou City will seize the spillover effect of the "post-Winter Olympics" era, fully release the influence of the Winter Olympics, and combine the acceleration of the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou sports and cultural tourism belt with the development of the "post-Winter Olympics" economy. As the focus of post-competition development, sports and cultural tourism should transform the Olympic effect into a development advantage.
"Just a few days ago, the Hebei Provincial Sports Bureau issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Sports Cultural Tourism Belt", and the development of Chongli will definitely get better and better in the future." Li Yongtai said.
In addition to the development opportunities in the post-Olympic era, more places are aiming at the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.
Information from the Hebei Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology shows that in recent years, a large number of advanced technologies from Beijing and Tianjin have landed in Hebei, and a number of well-known digital companies such as Tencent, Ali, Baidu, and Jingdong have also chosen to invest in Hebei.
Data show that from January to April 2022, the added value of strategic emerging industries above designated size in Hebei Province increased by 8.8% year-on-year, 4.2 percentage points higher than the growth rate of industrial added value above designated size. Among them, integrated circuit manufacturing increased by 54.9%.
Wearing new green clothes, Hebei has become more and more determined on the road of ecological priority and green development.
The 70 million sons and daughters of Yanzhao are striving to achieve the goal of "bluer sky, greener mountains, and cleaner water", and strive to write a new chapter in Hebei, a beautiful China.
