"You may be disappointed today, this time it is not about development, but about protection."

On January 2016, 1, Chongqing, General Secretary Xi Jinping opened the door at a symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Since this forum, "jointly grasping large-scale protection and not engaging in large-scale development" has become the main theme of the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

The river rushes, and the river is covered by both sides. How to treat the Mother River? Large-scale development or large-scale protection, seeking the present or seeking the long term, and choosing between the stand, the party spirit, and the original intention.

Taking the benefit of the people as the greatest achievement, "Ze by future generations" instead of "exhausting Ze and fishing" is the unswerving choice of the Communist Party of China.

"Ze by posterity" instead of "exhausting the ze and fishing", must show the responsibility of history -

"The fate of nature is closely related to human beings. We are doing this for history, for the nation. The general secretary's words were affectionate and powerful.

Without historical responsibility, there can be no extraordinary actions; Without extraordinary actions, it is difficult to reverse the situation. The battle against pollution is a big, hard, and bitter battle, and we must tackle tough battles and overcome difficulties, fight one battle at a time, hammer after hammer.

"The Yangtze River is sick, and it is not mild", in order to allow the mother river to recuperate, a ten-year fishing ban was implemented, and 23,1 fishermen returned to the shore; Thunder pollution control, rectification of illegal docks, relocation or closure of coastal chemical enterprises; Draw a legal red line and protect a river of clear water with thunderbolt means...

In the 10 years of the new era, we have resolutely won the battle to defend the blue sky, "returning the common people to the blue sky and white clouds, and the stars twinkling"; Great efforts should be made to control water environmental pollution, and "return the scene of clean water and green banks and shallow bottom of fish to the people"; Take multiple measures to promote the improvement of the rural environment, "retaining the idyllic scenery of birds and flowers for the people"...

Ten years of tackling tough problems, the construction of a beautiful China has made great strides, the sky is bluer, the mountains are greener, the water is clearer, and the harmonious coexistence between man and nature is becoming a reality.

"Ze by posterity" instead of "exhausting Ze and fishing", we must strengthen the historical initiative -

Saihanba, Hebei, the general secretary has always been concerned. From "one pine" to a million-mu green miracle, three generations have worked hard to turn the wasteland into a forest and sea, building a solid ecological barrier for Beijing and Tianjin. In August 2021, the general secretary came here, facing the green eyes, he told the three generations of forest farm workers: "To grasp the construction of ecological civilization, we must rely on both material and spiritual. ”

Shanxi Youyu is also a place that the general secretary often mentions. In a green relay that lasted for more than 70 years, the 21st secretary of the county party committee led the cadres and masses to plant trees one after another, turning the barren land into an oasis. When inspecting Shanxi in 2020, the general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to firmly establish the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, carry forward the "right jade spirit", and make overall plans to promote the governance of landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasslands.

Face difficulties, work hard, make contributions for a long time, and benefit in the long run. Without a firm spirit of historical initiative, it is impossible to fight for decades and change the world, nor will there be the precious "Saihanba spirit" and "right-jade spirit."

Green is the background color of beautiful China. Coming from the Loess Plateau, the general secretary has a deep memory of the harm of soil erosion; During his work in Fujian, he went to Changting five times to investigate and promote soil erosion control... Since the 5th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary has participated in voluntary tree planting in the capital together with cadres and masses for 10 consecutive years. ”

In the past 10 years of the new era, love for green plants and green protection has become popular, China's forest coverage rate has increased to 24.02%, and the key desertification land treatment area has realized a historic transformation from "sand into people retreating" to "green into sand retreat".

"Ze by posterity" instead of "exhausting Ze and fishing", we must strengthen historical consciousness -

Only with a high degree of historical consciousness can we have a clear understanding of historical orientation and historical mission.

In the eyes of the communists, the cause of the party and the people is passed on from generation to generation, it is a relay race, each generation has a mission of a generation, and everyone must run their own "this stick" well.

The general secretary put forward requirements for cadres and officials from a historical perspective and dialectical thinking: "We must not only plan for the long term, but also work in the present, draw a blueprint to the end, and do one stubble after another," and "we must not only do practical things that the people can see, touch, and benefit from, but also do good things that pave the way, lay a foundation, and benefit the long term for future generations.

When working in Fuzhou, Fujian, he presided over the preparation of the "3820" strategic project, and when working in Zhejiang, he studied and proposed the "<> Strategy"... Basing on the present and focusing on the long term is an important methodology that General Secretary Xi Jinping has consistently adopted, "Our understanding of time is based on a hundred years and a thousand years."

"He who does not seek the world is not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. "In the 10 years of the new era, with General Secretary Xi Jinping at the helm, we have overcome many long-term unsolved problems and accomplished many major and important things related to the long term.

One thing after another, year after year, is done in the good facts of "the descendants of Ze Quilt," and all of them are in order to achieve, safeguard, and develop the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people.

In the new era and new journey, to maintain success does not have to be in my spiritual realm, success must have my historical responsibility, carry forward the spirit of nails, work down-to-earth, we will certainly be able to do achievements that can stand the test of practice, the people and history.
