China News Agency, Lhasa, August 18 (Reporter Zhao Yan) The vegetable greenhouses with the "scented fruits and melons" at the foot of Mount Everest, the high mountain tea farms in the "secret realm" Medog, the characteristic industrial parks on the "Tea Horse Road" and traditional The town of Lulang integrated with modern elements... These all record the fruitful results of the aid work in Tibet.

  In 1994, the third Central Tibet Work Symposium opened the curtain of counterpart assistance to Tibet. Groups of aid cadres traveled thousands of miles to the snow-covered plateau to selflessly support the development of Tibet's medical care, education, housing, and industry.

  At the 6th Central Tibet Work Symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to do a good job in supporting the work in Tibet and optimize the talent structure of cadres in Tibet.

At the 7th Central Tibet Work Symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping systematically explained the Party's strategy for governing Tibet in the new era, and put forward clear requirements on aid to Tibet: "The central government supports Tibet and the whole country supports Tibet, which is the consistent policy of the Party Central Committee. We must persevere for a long time, conscientiously sum up experience, and create a new situation for aid to Tibet.” In July last year, during his inspection tour of Tibet, General Secretary Xi Jinping said when meeting with representatives of cadres who aided Tibet: “The spirit of aid to Tibet is a noble spirit of the Communist Party of China, and it is China’s A distinct advantage of socialism with characteristics. There is no lack of spirit in lack of oxygen. This spirit is that the revolutionary ideal is higher than the sky. You are on the plateau, and your spirit is higher than the plateau. This thing must be done one after another, generation after generation. "

  "Under the guidance of the party's strategy for governing Tibet in the new era, the aid to Tibet has shown many innovative features." Che Minghuai, former vice president of the Tibet Autonomous Region Academy of Social Sciences, introduced that the first is to improve people's livelihood and unite people's hearts for economic and social development. The starting point and the end point, insist that the achievements of Tibet aid are shared by people of all ethnic groups.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central state organs, relevant provinces and municipalities, and central enterprises that undertake counterpart support tasks have successively sent nearly 7,000 cadres and talents to assist Tibet.

In the past 10 years, it has invested a total of more than 17.1 billion yuan in poverty alleviation funds in Tibet, implemented 2,311 poverty alleviation projects in Tibet, and promoted the establishment of paired assistance relationships between 284 counties in mainland China and 332 counties and towns in Tibet, helping more than 230,000 people. people out of poverty.

  "The Tibet aid work also adheres to the key goal of serving the urgent and special needs of Tibet, and combining with the actual situation, solves problems for the recipient areas and promotes the high-quality development of Tibet." Che Minghuai said.

  More than 20 years ago, Bailang County in Shigatse was self-sufficient with only a small amount of Tibetan radishes and Tibetan potatoes, and the local people only ate only a few vegetables.

In 1995, the first batch of Shandong aid cadres who supported Bai Lang decided to introduce modern vegetable planting technology, and the trial planting was successful in 1998.

Today, Bailang County has become the largest "vegetable basket" in Tibet. At present, Tibet's first national-level standardized vegetable planting demonstration area and the first export vegetable filing base have been built there.

  Che Minghuai said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the forms of aid to Tibet have been continuously innovated, and the work mechanism of aid to Tibet in the new era has been continuously improved with counterpart assistance and "group-style" aid to Tibet.

Compared with the selection of the ninth batch, the structure and functions of the tenth batch of cadres and talents aided to Tibet have been continuously optimized, and the relay work has been carried out in Tibet.

Among them, 292 "group-style" medical talents and 400 "group-style" educational talents were selected and dispatched precisely.

  "Last year, before I met Dr. He Wei, I thought I was going to be paralyzed," said Shi Que Puchi from Xietongmen County, Shigatse, Tibet.

Last year, she accidentally fell from a height of three meters and severely fractured her lumbar spine.

With the help of He Wei, a spine surgery expert from the seventh batch of Beijing's "group-style" medical team to aid Tibet, and his team, the operation was successfully performed. After rehabilitation treatment, Shi Que Puchi can now move normally.

  Since 2015, the “group-style” aid to Tibet has been launched for medical and educational talents.

In the past 8 years, 8 batches of about 1,500 "group-style" medical professionals from all over China have been sent to Tibet one after another.

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

  "One trip to Tibet, and a lifetime of love for Tibet", even though Tibet is high and the road is far away, this strong friendship continues to be blocked.

"Beijing Road" can be seen on the streets of Lhasa, Nagqu City has "Zhejiang Road", and Shigatse City has "Shandong Road"... The names of these roads are the testimony of Tibet's emotional accumulation for the provinces and cities that aided Tibet over the past 20 years.

Among the many cadres who aided Tibet, some of them have changed their aid to Tibet for three years after three years, and some of them have been buried in this snowy land forever.

  Wang Junqiang, who is dedicated to solving the problem of feeding high-altitude herdsmen, is now about to usher in a bumper harvest of black potatoes in the greenhouse, but he can never see it again.

Wang Junqiang, a cadre from the ninth batch of aid to Tibet from the central unit, encountered a traffic accident on May 8, 2022 on his way to the countryside for investigation. .

  "The aid-to-Tibet policy not only supports the economic and social development of Tibet, maintains the stability of the border and national unity, but also promotes exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups, further cements the sense of community of the Chinese nation, and strengthens the blood connection between Tibet and the people of all ethnic groups in the motherland. The affection of a family is like a family." Che Minghuai said.
