On April 4 this year, spring rain fell in Beijing. The general secretary put on a raincoat and appeared in Dongba Central Park, Chaoyang District, Beijing.

On the eve of planting trees in Chaoyang District in 2015, the general secretary clearly instructed: "Tree-planting sites should be selected in afforestation planning, and the places where the masses plant trees should not be arranged separately." "The ground should not be deliberately leveled and groomed, and it does not matter if it is potholed and overgrown." ......
This year's tree planting site, covering an area of about 300 acres, was originally the location of Dongfeng Village in Dongba Township, and after relocation and environmental remediation, it is planning to build an ecological space featuring biodiversity.

"Reforestation is a meaningful thing"
At the tree planting site in 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping said to the primary and secondary school students next to him: "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of tree people." In 10 years, 20 years from now, you can come back to this place and see how the saplings you planted with your own hands are doing. This is a very meaningful thing. ”
When planting trees this year, the general secretary once again pointed out that afforestation is a very meaningful thing and a noble cause that benefits the present and the future, and it must be done consistently and continuously.

"Very meaningful", first look at "ten-year trees".
Since the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has planted a total of 2.21 billion mu of forests, and the forest coverage rate has increased from 63.24% ten years ago to 02.<>% at present, ranking first in the world in Chinese industrial and forest area.
At this year's tree planting site, the general secretary said that China's artificial afforestation scale is the largest in the world, and it is still continuing to afforest. China has contributed to the greening of the earth and the improvement of global climate change, and the Chinese people have contributed indispensably.

"Very meaningful", and then look at "Centennial Tree Man".
When planting trees last year, the general secretary said that since the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I have participated in voluntary tree planting in the capital for <> consecutive years, not only to contribute to the construction of a beautiful China, but also to promote the sowing of the seeds of ecological civilization in the whole society, especially in the hearts of young people.
This year, the general secretary recalled his journey to participate in the process of planting trees. Everywhere the footprints go, they leave a green landscape. He said to the primary and secondary school students present, when you also become parents, let your children and grandchildren continue to plant trees, and continue to do it from generation to generation.

The tree planting site is the best classroom. The general secretary not only taught the children how to plant trees, but also taught the children the principles of being human.
One year, while working, the general secretary said to the children: "This is us watering the saplings together, and in fact watering you, this is called nurturing, nurturing the younger generation." ”
At this year's tree planting site, the general secretary said that children's education, like tree planting, must be erected at the beginning, otherwise it will grow crooked.

"A lot of my homesickness is related to trees"
This year, General Secretary Xi Jinping planted saplings such as oil pine, Xifu begonia, national acacia, persimmon tree, and red rui wood.
"Current Political News Eye" combed and found that for 11 consecutive years of participating in the capital's voluntary tree planting, the general secretary planted the most is Xifu begonia, and this tree species has been planted for 8 years. Next are Peach, Pinus oleifera, Whitebark Pine, Red Ruimu, Elm Leaf Plum, Yuanbao Maple, Ginkgo, National Acacia, Magnolia and so on.
△ Xifu begonia is a small tree of the apple genus Rosaceae, with steep trees.
At this year's tree planting site, the general secretary told everyone that I grew up in Beijing, and many of my homesickness is related to trees. He mentioned that in the past, the courtyard courtyard in old Beijing would definitely have planted locust trees, persimmon trees, or begonia, pomegranate, jujube trees, etc.
In December 2013, the general secretary proposed at the central urbanization work conference held for the first time since the reform and opening up that cities should be integrated into nature, so that residents can see the mountains, see the water, and remember homesickness.
On the eve of the Lunar New Year in 2019, the general secretary walked into the four hutongs of Caochang in Beijing's Dongcheng District and talked about "homesickness" again: "If all the hutongs in Beijing disappear and become high-rise buildings, how can you remember homesickness?" ”

At the tree planting site this year, the general secretary not only talked about the "homesickness" caused by the tree, but also "supported the recruitment" for Beijing's tree planting.
He said that attention should be paid to combining the proportion of coniferous and broad-based forests to make them more in line with the requirements of biological chains and ecological chains. It is necessary to strengthen color on the basis of greening, diversify some colorful tree species, and strive to build a forest city in the whole area to build Beijing into a more beautiful city.

"How to plant the tree", "How to fulfill the responsibility", "How to fulfill the obligation"? This is a matter of general concern.

With the predecessors planting trees, the descendants can take advantage of the coolness. As the general secretary said, "Each of us is a cooler, but we must also be tree planters." ”
Participating in the capital's voluntary tree-planting activities this year, the general secretary once again stressed that it is necessary to innovate organizational methods and enrich the forms of conscientiousness, provide more convenience for the general public to participate in voluntary tree planting, and achieve "year-round conscientiousness, diverse conscientiousness, and convenient conscientiousness".
