  On the afternoon of March 5, the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People was brightly lit and warm.

  On the opening day of the first session of the 14th National People's Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping first came to his Jiangsu delegation to discuss state affairs with everyone.

  More than 140 deputies to the 14th National People's Congress of Jiangsu Province welcomed the General Secretary with warm applause.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping waved to everyone with a smile on his face.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary has visited Jiangsu four times, and has given important instructions many times. He has put forward ardent expectations for "two firsts" and drawn up a grand blueprint of "strength, prosperity, beauty and high quality". At every critical period and important node, he will guide Jiangsu navigation orientation.

  More than a month ago, as a representative candidate nominated by the central government, General Secretary Xi Jinping ran for election in Jiangsu and was elected as a representative of the 14th National People's Congress with unanimous votes.

  In the first year of implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping ran for the National People's Congress in Jiangsu and participated in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation, full of deep meaning and high expectations.

  "I'm very glad that as a member of the Jiangsu delegation of the new National People's Congress, I will discuss state affairs with you." The general secretary said at the deliberation site.

  As soon as representative Shan Zenghai, who was sitting opposite the general secretary, spoke, the general secretary recognized him: "Are you interviewed by reporters in the representative channel today?"

  "Yes."

  "I saw."

  Shan Zenghai is a worker representative from Xugong Group.

This time he brought good news to the General Secretary:

  "In 2017, when you visited XCMG, the key indicators of the 220-ton all-terrain crane you rode on have reached the first place in the world, and the localization rate has increased from 71% to 100%."

  The general secretary interjected and asked, "Is the chip in your crane made in China?"

  "It's all domestic."

  Shan Zenghai further introduced that they adhere to innovation-driven, increase investment in scientific research, and the localization rate of product parts has increased from 62% to 91%.

  The general secretary said affirmatively: "Your construction machinery has been produced and has reached the world's leading level. From the perspective of the world, our current manufacturing category is the most complete. At the same time, we still need to improve it. Going high-end, our high-quality development should be reflected here."

  Talking about the dialectics of development and security from the manufacturing industry, the general secretary emphasized that China cannot lack manufacturing at any time.

A large country with a population of more than 1.4 billion cannot rely on the international market, nor can it rely on "one trick to eat everywhere". It must rely on itself to solve its own problems.

  Wei Qiao, a representative of the Yongxing Agricultural Machinery Mechanization Professional Cooperative in Zhenjiang New Area, is a "post-80s" who returned to his hometown to start a business.

  In April 2017, after careful consideration, Wei Qiao and her lover resigned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University respectively, returned to the countryside from the city, and became experts in digital field planting.

  Facing the general secretary, she talked about the original intention of choosing: "During your inspection in Zhenjiang in 2014, you said that 'modern and efficient agriculture is a good way for farmers to get rich'. I remember that late at night, my father called me and told me that the general secretary highly praised agricultural experts. Zhao Yafu, both of you are agricultural students, I hope you can come back to take my class and write papers on the ground like Mr. Zhao."

  "We have now planted more than 20,000 mu of rice, with a yield of 1,100 catties per mu. Through digital management, labor efficiency has been greatly improved, and it has also effectively driven surrounding farmers to become rich." Wei Qiao said.

  "More than 20,000 mu, which is not a small area in the south. In this way, the machinery can be used, and modern facility agriculture can be implemented." The general secretary affirmed, "Your father is an educated youth, and you have this feeling. At the same time, you are a student of agriculture and have professional knowledge Advantage."

  From Wei Qiao's career choice, the general secretary further thought about the talent issue in rural revitalization: "We now need a large number of talents and high-quality labor to promote rural revitalization. Our young people and intellectuals also need to flow in two directions. On the one hand, in cities and towns On the other hand, there is a great demand for talents in the countryside. Comrades like Wei Qiao go to the countryside, it is very good! In this regard, the country should have some guidance and some policy support.”

  Advancing agricultural modernization is an inevitable requirement for high-quality development.

  During the deliberation, the general secretary further asked Jiangsu to "take the lead in advancing agricultural modernization" and build a land of fish and rice in the new era with strong agriculture, beautiful countryside and rich farmers.

  The general secretary especially emphasized food security: "Suhu is cooked, and the world is full." In the past, grain was transferred from the south to the north, but now the grain is transferred from the north to the south, and rice is eaten in the northeast.

However, the South's own responsibility field must be protected by itself.

We have a "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system and a "rice bag" governor responsibility system.

You can't reduce the current area and output, and you can't ask the state to adjust grain and vegetables if there is a problem.

  Speaking of this, the general secretary talked about the past: When I was working in Fujian, I had to look at the issue of eating food every day.

People in Fujian say, "If you don't see greenery for three days, your eyes will shine with gold." If you can't eat food, it's politics. This kind of awareness is very strong.

Now some cadres do not have the awareness and experience in this area, and it is impossible to ignore these.

We now call the system of lifetime responsibility for the red line of arable land. If the red line of arable land is breached, it will be held accountable even after retirement.

This is the "big man of the country".

  In the mind of the general secretary, the future development of Jiangsu should be "green".

  When Representative Xu Kunlin was speaking, General Secretary Xi Jinping specifically asked about the water quality of Taihu Lake and whether there were any blue-green algae.

In his subsequent speech, the general secretary mentioned this issue again.

  "Singing 'Taihu Lake is beautiful' in the song, how beautiful! But when I think of blue-green algae, I get tired of it. Industrial and domestic emissions once polluted Taihu Lake a lot, and it took a lot of effort to treat it. We say that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. If the ecology is not done well, it will not be a 'golden mountain and silver mountain', but it will become a money-losing business." The general secretary said earnestly.

  "Without high-quality development, there can be no talk of socialist modernization. We can't talk about high-quality development without talking about new development concepts." General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about a detour that Jiangsu's development has gone through:

  At that time, southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu were asymmetrical, and northern Jiangsu had an "impulse" to develop, rushing to undertake the polluting enterprises and sunset industries that were eliminated in other regions.

The loud sound of thunder and thunder was the result of the evil planted at that time.

  "At any time, we can't take the road of rushing to make decisions, exhausting resources, and only GDP. This is why we must establish a new development concept. This is where the correct view of political performance is established. Success does not have to be mine, success must be mine."

  Development, in the final analysis, is human development.

  Representative Zhang Dadong, principal of Xin'an Primary School in Huai'an City, introduced how the local area regards inheriting the glorious tradition of "Xin'an Tour Group" as an important part of building morality and cultivating people, and strengthens grassroots education. "The children's belief in listening to and following the party is more firm."

  Xin'an Primary School is the alma mater of "Xin'an Travel Group".

At that time, in the flames of war, the young boy who was still childish, braved hardships and dangers, traveled thousands of miles, and used literature and art as weapons to publicize the glorious history of the anti-Japanese war and the idea of ​​national salvation, which has become a spiritual wealth that will never fade.

  On the eve of "June 1st" in 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping wrote back to encourage the young pioneers of Xin'an Primary School to learn the history of the party well in combination with their own growth and reality, and to be determined to listen to and follow the party from an early age.

  "The children heard that I was coming to Beijing to attend the National People's Congress, and they had a lot to say to the general secretary." Zhang Dadong said.

  "Say hello to the children!" General Secretary Xi Jinping responded happily.

  Speaking of these little guys, the general secretary couldn't help recalling his youth: "I also came here wearing a red scarf. Because I went to school early, the first batch of Young Pioneers didn't develop me, and I cried. Later, when I became the standard bearer of the Young Pioneers, my blood boiled .”

  "Basic education undertakes a very glorious and arduous historical task." General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that educators in the new era must work hard to train young people to become builders and successors of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  "Our education should be good at absorbing excellent things from five thousand years of traditional Chinese culture, while not abandoning the achievements of Western civilization, so as to truly cultivate young people into children with the 'four self-confidences'."

  One region and one region reflect the magnificent changes of the times.

  Ten years ago, entered a new era.

General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Jiangsu delegation to participate in the deliberations, placing high hopes on Jiangsu to "be the first to build a well-off society in an all-round way and to take the lead in basically realizing modernization".

  Ten years later, start a new journey.

On the basis of realizing the first centenary goal as scheduled, Jiangsu is vigorously promoting the vivid practice of Chinese-style modernization.

  The words of General Secretary Xi Jinping are inspiring:

  "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. On the new journey, Jiangsu must take the lead and be at the forefront, and must grasp the current situation with the spirit of waiting for no one. This year is the first year to implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. I hope that the whole province of Jiangsu will The vast number of cadres and the masses have the spirit of connecting the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, and the vastness of the Yellow Sea. With the courageous responsibility of being an example, setting a demonstration, and walking ahead, they are united, hardworking, and forging ahead to write a new chapter in the modernization construction of "strong, rich, beautiful, and high" in Jiangsu. Getting off to a good start.”

  In the venue, there was a wave of applause.

  A big country in the east, day and night, is constantly innovating.
