Speaking of Bai Lang's development achievements in the field of vegetable planting and sales, it is inseparable from the selfless efforts of Shandong aid cadres over the years.

  Five years have passed, and Gongsang, a teacher from Gangba County, Shigatse City, Tibet Autonomous Region, still misses Zhang Yang, a doctor who aided Tibet.

  In 2017, Gongsang was diagnosed with a giant meningioma on the side of the foramen magnum.

The location of the disease is close to the medulla oblongata, and the operation is difficult.

Fortunately, he met Zhang Yang, a "group-style" aid-to-Tibet doctor from Peking University First Hospital at the People's Hospital of the Tibet Autonomous Region.

  Zhang Yang's team made a careful surgical plan for Gongsang.

After more than 10 hours of surgery, Gongsang's tumor was successfully removed.

This is a microcosm of the fact that the Tibetan people could not see a doctor in the plateau after the implementation of the "group-style" aid to Tibet by medical talents in 2015.

  Aid to Tibet is an important part of the party's strategy for governing Tibet in the new era, and an important carrier for promoting exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups.

  "Central support for Tibet and national support for Tibet are the consistent policies of the CPC Central Committee, which must be adhered to for a long time, earnestly sum up experience, and create a new situation for Tibet aid work." August 28-29, 2020, the seventh Central Tibet Work Symposium Held in Beijing, 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, emphasized this when he attended the meeting and delivered an important speech.

  In July 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping met with representatives of cadres and talents who aided Tibet during his inspection tour in Tibet.

He emphasized: "The spirit of aid to Tibet is a noble spirit of the Communist Party of China and a significant advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics. There is no lack of spirit in lack of oxygen. This spirit is that the ideal of revolution is higher than the sky. You are on the plateau, and your spirit is higher than the plateau. Yes. This matter must be done one after another, generation after generation. On the one hand, it has supported Tibet and concentrated its efforts on major tasks; one."

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has given important instructions and instructions on the aid to Tibet many times, and made a series of major arrangements to promote the aid work to continuously open up new situations and promote the long-term stability and high-quality development of Tibet.

The innovation of the system and mechanism of aid to Tibet, such as "group-style" aid to Tibet, effectively answers the new era proposition of improving people's livelihood in Tibet from "is there" to "is it good?" Promote exchanges, exchanges, and integration of various ethnic groups; the baton of aid to Tibet has been continuously passed on, and the vast number of cadres and talents of aid to Tibet have taken root in Tibet and contributed to the snowy areas under the inspiration of the "spirit of aid to Tibet".

  Bearing in mind the entrustment of General Secretary Xi Jinping, batches of cadres and talents from all over the country, with the aid resources and development experience of various provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and departments across the country, continued to struggle in the snow-covered plateau, leaving a deep national friendship. , and make new contributions to building a new socialist modern Tibet that is united, prosperous, civilized, harmonious and beautiful.

"Group-style" aid to Tibet brings great changes to people's livelihood

  "Thanks to the 'group-style' aid of medical professionals in Tibet, many Tibetan patients can see a doctor at their doorstep, which saves the hassle of traveling outside the region to seek medical treatment and reduces the economic burden." Gesangyu, director of the Health and Health Commission of the Tibet Autonomous Region Jane told reporters that the "difficulty in seeing a doctor" that has plagued the Tibetan people for generations has basically been resolved.

  In 2015, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, together with the National Health and Health Commission, coordinated 65 hospitals in 7 provinces and cities with assistance to Tibet and hospitals directly under the Health and Health Commission, and sent medical experts to carry out "group-style" assistance to Tibet.

  According to Deng Bo, director of the Second Department of Correspondence Support for Cadres and Talents of the Organization Department of the Tibet Autonomous Region Party Committee, the main methods of "grouping" medical talents to aid Tibet include: for the serious and acute diseases that were previously incurable in Tibet, "hospital package department" to help recipient hospitals Establish or improve the diagnosis and treatment level of relevant departments through the reorganization system, and arrange medical experts with senior professional titles to serve as the director of the department and hire the chief expert; adopt the model of "team leads the team, experts lead the backbone, and the master leads the apprentice" to cultivate a team of local medical talents ; Introduce the advanced management model of hospitals outside the district into Tibet, establish a modern hospital management system and so on.

  Peng Bin, president of the Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital, said that the "group-style" assistance of medical talents in Tibet has changed from "single-soldier operations" to "group operations", based on the overall, systematic and long-term improvement of Tibet's medical level, filling the field of medical care in Tibet many blanks.

  By the end of 2021, through the continuous efforts of more than 1,300 "group-type" medical talents in Tibet and the majority of local medical personnel in seven rounds, the diagnosis and treatment capacity and management service level of the "1+7" aided hospitals have greatly improved. Lhasa, Shigatse, Shannan , Nyingchi, Qamdo, Nagqu 6 city people's hospitals to create a third-class hospital, Ali District People's Hospital to create a third-class B hospital.

  Medical personnel "grouped" to assist Tibet, precisely trained more than 2,400 local medical backbones at different levels in Tibet, and built 243 clinical and medical departments.

Among them, 116 departments were set up for the first time, and a relatively complete department system covering diagnosis and treatment, treatment, pathology, inspection, imaging, etc. was initially formed, which greatly improved the local medical service capabilities.

  By the end of 2021, Tibet has realized that more than 400 "serious diseases" can be treated without leaving the autonomous region, and more than 2,400 "moderate diseases" can be treated without leaving the city. The average life expectancy in the whole region has increased from 68.2 years in 2015 to 72.19 years.

  Education is the foundation.

In 2019, educational talent assistance to Tibet was included in the central cadre talent counterpart support system. 400 teachers were selected from 17 provinces and cities across the country and 8 primary and secondary schools affiliated to colleges and universities directly under the Ministry of Education. Primary schools have opened a new stage of educational aid to Tibet.

  "People will face many choices in their life, and helping Tibet is my most regretless choice."

  "Aid to Tibet is fate, responsibility, will training, spiritual sublimation, and a lifetime of spiritual wealth."

  ...

  The No. 2 Junior High School in Karo District, Qamdo City has a wall of teachers who aid Tibet.

A testimonial on the wall conveys the voice of the teachers who aided Tibet.

  Liu Si, 58, is a senior computer lecturer at Xiamen Information School.

In August 2019, she came here for the second aid to Tibet.

After class, he is responsible for organizing the activities of the computer club, teaching students computer animation and image processing techniques, and helping to improve the teaching application level of information technology for junior high school teachers in the city... From the seaside to the plateau, Liu Si has always adhered to the original intention of teaching and educating people.

  Thanks to the unremitting efforts of 20 "group-style" aid teachers from Fujian Province including Liu Si, the quality of education in the No. 2 Junior High School in Karuo District has been significantly improved, and the enrollment rate has reached 100%.

  At the same time as Fujian Province, Tianjin "group-style" aid teachers to Tibet helped Chamdo Experimental Primary School set up scientific and technological courses such as drone programming and robot operation; Shaanxi Province and other places "group-style" aid teachers in Tibet matched bridges to promote aided schools And support schools to carry out cloud classrooms, live teaching, off-site teaching, online exchanges and other activities, so that high-quality educational resources are available on the touch screen.

  "Since the 'group-style' aid to Tibet was launched, profound changes have taken place in Tibetan primary and secondary education concepts, classroom teaching, and management methods. The overall quality of students has been significantly improved, effectively making up for the shortcomings of quality education in Tibetan primary and secondary schools." Nima Tsering, director of the Education Department of the Tibet Autonomous Region, introduced that educational talents "organize groups" to aid Tibet, focusing on stimulating and cultivating the endogenous power of Tibetan education.

In view of the shortcomings of science teaching in Tibet, more than half of the teachers of mathematics, physics and chemistry were sent to Tibet.

  Drawing on the experience and practice of "grouping" medical and educational talents to aid Tibet, the ninth batch of aid cadres explored and started the "group group" aid to Tibet.

Innovative technologies are continuously sent to the plateau.

  At an altitude of 4,300 meters, the Ngari area in Tibet is barren, mostly gravel, saline and Gobi desert.

Except for the drought-tolerant red willow and Pangong willow, other plants are difficult to grow.

Fruits and vegetables need to be transported here from other provinces all the year round.

  In the Ali Eco-Agricultural Industrial Park, the Shaanxi Provincial Aid to Tibet Team adopted the agricultural science and technology "group team" method to overcome the problem of planting more than 20 kinds of vegetables and fruits in high-altitude areas, such as tomatoes, cabbage, and dragon fruit. The total output reaches 430,000 kilograms, which can meet 70% of the local market demand.

  The characteristics of the "small group" type of aid to Tibet are that it is "short, flat and fast". On the basis of maintaining the existing overall pattern of aid to Tibet and the support relationship, the aid team with reasonable structure, appropriate number, professional support and efficient operation will be selected from the relevant provinces and cities. , focus on specific areas such as industrial bases, industrial parks, tourist attractions, etc., and carry out targeted support to help key development areas make up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses.

  The "small group" method focuses on determining the goals and tasks around the difficult problems that Tibet cannot solve by itself but can be solved through aid to Tibet.

Yang Xiaolin, the chief leader of the ninth batch of cadres and talents in Tibet, introduced that up to now, the "Team Group" has helped Tibet to build 71 characteristic brands, introduce 228 advanced technologies, and overcome 126 technical problems. Significant improvements have been made in technical support and sales of featured products.

  Yang Minghong, a professor at Yunnan University who has long studied the mechanism of aid to Tibet, said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "group-style" aid to Tibet has become a magic weapon to accurately make up for the shortcomings of Tibet's people's livelihood and development. "A new manifestation of significant advantages in the new era.

The exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups are deepened and practical

  Tibet was jointly developed by all ethnic groups, and the history of Tibet was written by all ethnic groups. The exchanges between Tibetans and other ethnic groups run through the development of Tibet's history.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central and state organs, ministries and commissions, counterpart supporting provinces and cities, and central enterprises' aid cadres and talents in Tibet have implemented the Party's strategy for governing Tibet in the new era. Giving the meaning of national unity and progress, to improving people's livelihood and uniting people's hearts, is conducive to enhancing the sense of gain, happiness and security of the people of all ethnic groups.

  Pair and recognize relatives to promote water and milk blending.

"Your rural tourism practices and vegetable planting techniques are worth learning." On February 1 this year, on the first day of the new year, Lobsang Tenzin, a villager in Qiangji Village, Layu Township, Qiongjie County, Shannan City, Tibet, made a phone call to 3,000 kilometers away. The "paired relatives" Li Guangchao sent New Year wishes.

Recalling the visit and exchange activities in Yanhe Village, Wushan Town, Gucheng County, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province two years ago, the two were smiling.

  Li Guangchao is a rich man in Yanhe Village.

Since 2019, Xiangyang and Qiongjie have carried out "visiting relatives" activities with the theme of "Partnership building and the masses recognize relatives", which has become a new attempt for Hubei Province's aid work to promote exchanges, exchanges, and integration of various ethnic groups.

  The paired party branches of the two places have shared their work experience through mutual visits and the establishment of WeChat work groups. While deepening understanding, they also enhanced mutual feelings.

Representatives of the Tibetan people eat, live and work together with the Han families who recognize their kinship in pairs.

Qiongjie County primary and secondary schools exchange letters with 185 pairs of students from Xiangyang City 35 Middle School and Xiangyang City 46 Middle School and Primary School, making friends and growing together.

  Chen Yongtao, the leader of the ninth batch of Xiangyang City Aid Tibet Working Group, Hubei Province, said that at present, more than 540 households in Qiongjie County have paired with people in Xiangyang, accounting for nearly 20% of the farmers and herdsmen households in the county, covering more than 540 people in the two places. 3000 people.

  Inheriting culture and building a shared spiritual home.

"In order to save Li Lang from his homeland, who would have expected to be the champion..." This is the aria from the national intangible cultural heritage Huangmei opera "The Concubine", which is now performed in Tibetan and Chinese by students of Shannan No. 2 Senior High School.

"During the rehearsal, the teachers who aided Tibet led us to explain the meaning of the words word by word. The students had a deeper understanding of the deep meaning of cultural classics and loved the excellent traditional Chinese culture from the bottom of their hearts," said teacher La Zhen.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the aid teams in Tibet have deepened cultural aid to Tibet, and used the method of "moisturizing things without sound" to enhance the recognition of the people of all ethnic groups for the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China and socialism with Chinese characteristics. Build a shared spiritual home for the Chinese nation.

  The Anhui Provincial Aid to Tibet Team took Shannan No. 2 Senior High School as a pilot project to set up art, calligraphy, paper-cutting, Taijiquan, Guozhuang dance and other clubs.

  Employment assistance to Tibet is the foundation of stabilizing people's livelihood.

Three years ago, Lausanne from Pana Town, Anduo County, Nagqu City, passed the exam and entered the Disease Control and Emergency Department of the Health Commission of Panjin City, Liaoning Province.

The diligent Lausanne was quickly recognized by the unit leaders and colleagues.

  "Here, I learned advanced medical and health standards, which will benefit me for life. I also met my Mongolian wife, made friends from all over the country, and felt the warmth of the big Chinese family." Lausanne said.

  In 2012, employment assistance to Tibet was officially launched.

Central state organs and ministries, counterpart provinces and cities assisting Tibet, and central enterprises assisting Tibet have provided a large number of jobs for local college graduates in Tibet, and more and more Tibetan college students choose to work outside the region.

  According to statistics, since 2019, all aid teams in Tibet have coordinated and dispatched provinces, cities and units to plan jobs, organized more than 500 special recruitment sessions, and promoted more than 4,700 local college graduates in Tibet to find employment outside the region.

  "On the one hand, employment assistance to Tibet has helped Tibetan college graduates to realize their ideals of employment; on the other hand, Tibetan students have also experienced the development and changes of the motherland first-hand. A bond of blending.” Dawa Tsering, deputy director of the Human Resources and Social Affairs Department of the Tibet Autonomous Region, said that employment assistance to Tibet not only relieved the employment pressure of college graduates in Tibet, but also effectively promoted all ethnic groups to stick together like pomegranate seeds. Build a great motherland.

"One crop after another"

  Walking in a greenhouse in Bailang County, Shigatse City, the traditionally grown cucumbers and tomatoes are covered with branches; the soilless cultured chicory and chrysanthemum are green and lush; the rare cherries and lychees in the plateau are crystal clear...

  See Shouguang for national vegetables, and Bailang for Tibetan vegetables.

Speaking of Bai Lang's development achievements in the field of vegetable planting and sales, it is inseparable from the selfless efforts of Shandong aid cadres for more than 20 years.

  In 1995, the first batch of Shandong cadres who aided Tibet tried to develop the vegetable industry in Bailang.

In 1998, the second batch of Shandong cadres who aided Tibet introduced greenhouse vegetable cultivation and successfully tried planting...

  Since 2019, the ninth batch of Shandong aid cadres in Tibet have implemented the "Benchmark Shouguang Plateau Fruit and Vegetable Industry Improvement Action", raised 43 million yuan to help the local construction of high-quality fruit and vegetable processing areas and cold chain storage facilities such as constant temperature warehouses, and built 270 acres of agriculture. Science and technology innovation demonstration base.

  For more than 20 years, Shandong Province aid-to-Tibet cadres have focused on the vegetable industry, one after another, making Bailang a well-known place full of vegetables and fragrant fruits.

Today's Bailang has built a national-level vegetable standardized production demonstration area, and a number of modern fruit and vegetable leading enterprises such as Colorful Manor, Zhongnong Sanyu, and Everest Agriculture stand out, and are building a 10,000-mu fruit and vegetable industrial park.

  "In the work of aid to Tibet, I have been tempered and grown" - this is the consensus of the majority of aid cadres in Tibet.

  It was July, and Zhongba County, Shigatse City was still cold and windy, and sooner or later, he had to wrap himself in a padded jacket.

The average altitude here is more than 4,700 meters, and the oxygen content of the air is only about half of that in the plain area, and the living conditions are extremely harsh.

Xu Po, an aid cadre from China Baowu Group, has been working here for three years.

  In 2019, Xu Po gave up the favorable living conditions in Shanghai and applied for aid to Tibet.

From the coastal metropolis with an altitude of several tens of meters, he came to Zhongba County, which is very cold and bitter, and served as the deputy secretary of the county party committee. He started another life.

  Less than two months after entering Tibet, Xu Po's research has covered 13 townships in Zhongba County.

Among them, the township primary school is where he must go.

After a solid and in-depth investigation, Zhongba County launched the education foundation revitalization project. In the second year, standard sports fields were built for 6 township primary schools, and the demonstration direct drinking water project for 3 primary schools was completed.

  "The experience of assisting Tibet has enhanced my political awareness and awareness of the overall situation, enriched my life experience, and stimulated my work potential." Xu Po said.

  This year, Xu Po has completed this round of aid to Tibet.

In the future, he will continue to work in Tibet.

"I always feel that three years is too short. I want to continue to stay in Tibet and make some modest contributions here," he said.

  Since 1994, nearly 12,000 cadres and talents of aid to Tibet have come to the snow-covered plateau.

Some of them left their lives on the plateau.

  On May 8 this year, Wang Junqiang, a 48-year-old CITIC Group cadre in Tibet, was killed in a traffic accident on his way to the countryside.

Before the aid to Tibet, Wang Junqiang served as the general manager of e-banking of China CITIC Bank Dalian Branch.

  "Actually, whether it is working and living conditions or personal future, Dalian and CITIC Group are the best choice for a military-strong individual. But he still chose to aid Tibet." CITIC Group's aid cadre in Tibet and deputy secretary of the Shenzha County Party Committee Li Zhigang said.

  Shenza County, where Wang Junqiang is located, has an average altitude of 4,700 meters.

Dizziness, nausea, weakness, diarrhea, and the intense discomfort caused by the high altitude did not make Wang Junqiang lower his work standards.

Coordinated the design and customization of the first tow-type animal husbandry car in Nagqu pastoral area, and took the lead in carrying out the live broadcast of the county magistrate to bring goods in northern Tibet... He was reluctant to give up day and night.

  "The organization sent me to help Tibet, and the working time is limited. We must race against time to do more practical things for the herdsmen." Colleagues still remember Wang Junqiang's words before his death.

  "Before the accident, we were still discussing how to introduce Hunan Yiyang dark tea, combine with Shenzha Tibetan medicine to make Tibetan medicine health tea, and plan an education aid project to fund Shenzha college students... I didn't expect him to leave suddenly." Li Zhigang said the reporter said.

  The towering mountains witness the vicissitudes of the snow-covered plateau.

The rolling rivers tell the touching story of the Chinese Communists' selfless dedication and the forging of the Chinese nation's sense of community.

  In July 2022, the ninth and tenth batch of aid teams to Tibet will complete the rotation and handover.

A new batch of cadres and talents in aid to Tibet are taking over the baton. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, they will continue to create a new situation in aid to Tibet, and strive to write a new chapter of long-term stability and high-quality development on the snow-covered plateau.
