Beautiful China Lake in General Secretary's Heart

It also gave the common people the sight of clear water and green shores and fish flying to the shallow bottom.

  "I went to see Sanjiangyuan and Qilian Mountain before, and this time I came to see Qinghai Lake." In June 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping set off from Xining, took a train, transferred to a car, and inspected the ecological and environmental protection of Qinghai Lake on the spot.

In the 2022 New Year's message, the general secretary specifically mentioned "the rippling Qinghai Lake".

  Qinghai Lake, Dongting Lake, Chaohu Lake, West Lake, Dianchi Lake, Chagan Lake, Wuliangsuhai, Baiyangdian Lake... The large and small lakes dotted with each other, like pearls, decorate the land of China.

On September 26, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping communicated with fishery workers who were fishing at Chagan Lake in Songyuan City, Jilin Province.

The "kidney" of the earth

  Qinghai Lake is the largest inland saltwater lake in my country and an important "transit station" for migratory birds.

  In the breeding season of summer migratory birds again, the birds on the shore of Qinghai Lake are flocking and full of vitality.

With the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, it has become a veritable "paradise for birds". This year, a total of 42 species of waterfowl were monitored, with a number of more than 44,000, an increase of more than 20% over the same period last year.

  In June last year, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Fairy Bay in Qinghai Lake, which is more than 3,200 meters above sea level.

Local responsible comrades told the general secretary that in the past 15 years, the water level of Qinghai Lake has risen by more than 3 meters and the area has expanded by more than 300 square kilometers.

  The water level of Qinghai Lake continues to rise, making the surrounding climate humid and warming, improving the habitat of local wildlife and birds, and improving the ecological environment of the entire lake area.

Along the wooden plank road, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the surrounding environment on foot: the mountains are like daisies, the water is boundless, cattle and sheep are flocked on the grassland, and birds are flying in the sky...

  Once upon a time, some lakes in our country shrank in area, deteriorated in water quality, and grew blue-green algae. For a time, they lost their role in purifying water quality and air, and regulating local climate. Many animals and plants also lost their homes for survival.

  In response to the pollution of Baiyangdian Lake, the "kidney of North China", the general secretary pointed out that "the kidney function has been exhausted in the past and has been undergoing dialysis"; at the symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the general secretary solemnly pointed out that "the ecological function of the basin is still degraded seriously. The 'double kidneys' of the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, have frequently bottomed out, and nearly 30% of important lakes and reservoirs are still in a state of eutrophication. The kidneys of the earth, the development of wetlands should focus on ecological protection”…

  After ecological restoration and system management, the water surface of my country's lakes has been continuously expanded, the water quality has continued to improve, and the brilliance has continued to glow.

  Today, the total phosphorus concentration in Dongting Lake continues to decline, and the number of migratory birds in winter has set a new record. Entering the ranks of good lakes in the country, the city and the lake complement each other and complement each other.

"Bay" of water

  "my country's basic water conditions have always been summer floods and winter dryness, shortages in the north and abundance in the south, and the spatial and temporal distribution of water resources is extremely uneven." General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly.

  In the past few decades, more than 200 lakes with an area of ​​more than 10 square kilometers in the country have shrunk, and nearly 1,000 natural lakes have disappeared due to reclamation. The annual 1.6 trillion cubic meters of precipitation in the country directly enters the sea and cannot be used.

  In response to the severe situation, General Secretary Xi Jinping said in his words: water is scarce, "an important reason is that the ecological space for water conservation is greatly reduced, the 'basin' containing water is getting smaller and smaller, and the precipitation cannot be saved or retained."

  Lakes are natural reservoirs with functions of water conservation, flood storage and waterlogging prevention.

With the promotion of returning to the lake, dismantling illegal low enclosures, and restoring the function of flood control and water supply, there are more and more “basins” holding water.

  In the flood season of 2020, the flood control and disaster relief work in the Yangtze River and Huai River basins will affect people's hearts.

Hefei, Anhui Province took the initiative to activate the ecological wetland flood storage area around Chaohu Lake, which effectively relieved the pressure of flood control.

  In August of that year, during an investigation and investigation in Anhui, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to adhere to the positioning and planning of ecological wetland flood storage areas, prevent encroachment and encroachment, and protect the ecological wetland's flood storage and ecological protection functions.

"Chaohu Lake is the treasure of the Anhui people and the most beautiful and moving place in Hefei. We must manage Chaohu Lake well, protect the ecological wetlands, and make Chaohu Lake the best business card in Hefei."

"Bowl" for eating

  Chagan Lake, located in Songyuan City, Jilin Province, is one of the top ten freshwater lakes in my country.

  "Lucid waters, lush mountains, and icy skies and snow are all golden mountains and silver mountains. I wish everyone 'every year there are fish and more than enough'." The secretary said happily.

  Stepping on the sunset, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked along the plank road to observe the water conditions and the living environment of animals and plants, emphasizing that "the protection of ecology and the development of eco-tourism complement each other, and this road must be continued firmly."

  Humans treat nature kindly, and nature will also give human beings.

The general secretary once said that Lishui City, Zhejiang Province "unswervingly protects the 'golden rice bowl' of lucid waters and lush mountains", and "achieved the coordinated advancement of ecological civilization construction, poverty alleviation, and rural revitalization".

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has left an agreement to "make this record" at the Erhai Sea, and urged to let the natural beauty of "Cangshan not ink for a long time, and Erhai Lake without strings and ancient qin" to live in the world forever; in Chaerhan Salt Lake inspected the operation of modern mechanical salt mining and demanded that "the relationship between resource development and utilization and ecological environmental protection must be properly handled"; seeing the great improvement of the ecological environment of Dianchi Lake, he emphasized that "as long as we adhere to ecological priority, green development, perseverance, and long-term efforts, we will It will definitely turn green waters and green mountains into mountains of gold and silver.”

  "Protect the ecological environment of key lakes and wetlands", "Focus on the safety of rivers and lakes", "Return to the common people the scene of clear water and green shores and fish flying on the shallow bottom"...

  The beautiful scenery with a vast expanse of greenery and gleaming water reflects the ardent entrustment of General Secretary Xi Jinping.
