The Yangtze finless porpoise is home! On April 4, four finless porpoises from the Tianwanzhou Baiji Dolphin National Nature Reserve in Shishou, Hubei Province, were released in the Yangtze River sections of Shishou Swan Zhou and Honghu Xinluo, respectively, which was the first time that the Yangtze finless porpoise ex-situ conservation group was released into the Yangtze River.
With the in-depth implementation of the protection of the Yangtze River, the finless porpoise has been settled in the northern section of the Yangtze River for a long time, and the ecological picture of "finless porpoise blowing waves, sand birds are idle" can be seen almost all year round.
To promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we must consider the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, put the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an overwhelming position, jointly grasp the great protection, refrain from large-scale development, and explore a new path of ecological priority and green development.
——On April 2018, 4, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the "Symposium on Deeply Promoting the Development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt" held in Wuhan
Five years ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping "set the rules" for the protection of the Yangtze River in Hubei. Nowadays, the ecological changes of the Yangtze River can be seen at a glance: there are more porpoises, new chemical plants, more beautiful docks, greener shorelines, and stronger green industries... General Secretary Yin Yin entrusted, always accompanied the pulse of Hubei's ecological green development, echoing in the Yangtze River.

Crack the chemical weijiang
I stressed that in the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we should jointly grasp large-scale protection and not engage in large-scale development, not to say that large-scale development should not be carried out, but first establish a rule, put the ecological restoration of the Yangtze River in the first place, protect the mother river of the Chinese nation, and not engage in destructive development.
——On April 2018, 4, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection of Yichang Xingfa Group
Walking on the banks of the Yangtze River embankment in Yichang is like stepping into a city park. A few years ago, it was a production workshop, but now it is the green landscape belt of Xingfa Group, with a shoreline of nearly 800,<> meters and an area of more than <> acres.
In the Yichang New Material Industrial Park of Xingfa Group, on a circular landmark cast in copper by the river, several significant figures of "2018.4.24" record the beginning of a major transformation. This is the "place where rules are established" for General Secretary Xi Jinping's protection of the Yangtze River.
"After the general secretary 'established the rules', the development of the enterprise became more stable. The output value, profits and taxes created by Xingfa New Material Industrial Park in 2022 have doubled compared with 4 years ago, and the price per gram of high-tech black phosphorus products developed can reach 5000,<> yuan, realizing the product from ton to gram sales. Li Guozhang, secretary of the party committee of Xingfa Group, said that Xingfa resolutely implements the spirit of the general secretary's important instructions and fully implements the five major projects of "shutdown, transformation, relocation, pollution control and regreening". Last year, the operating performance reached a record high.
There is "breaking" and there is also "standing". Xingfa Group vacated 950 meters of shoreline for greening, closed all Yangtze River outlets, and invested 12.60 billion yuan to build sewage treatment and reuse devices to prevent a drop of sewage from flowing into the Yangtze River. In the past few years, Xingfa Group has invested nearly <> billion yuan to promote the green transformation and upgrading of enterprises.
At present, the first phase of Xingfa Group's annual output of 40,<> tons of new silicone materials is stepping up construction, and silicone, known as "industrial vitamins", is an indispensable new polymer chemical material. After the project is put into operation, Xingfa Group's silicone production capacity will leap to the top three in the country, and drive the production of thousands of industrial products in the downstream of the industrial chain.
Xingfa's transformation and development is a microcosm of Hubei's cracking of the "chemical encirclement". In 2018, chemical enterprises along the river began to move on a large scale, and in 2020, the operating income of chemical enterprises in the province fell to the bottom, and by 2021, the data showed an inflection point, and by 2022, this figure reached 6863.2018 billion yuan, an increase of 33.7% compared with <>.
Not only that, Hubei has also delineated the future chemical industry map - Wuhan, Jingmen and Qianjiang will build central petrochemical industry bases; Yichang and Jingmen build national phosphorus chemical industry clusters; Xiaogan and Qianjiang rely on salt chemical industry to develop circular economy, and through differentiated positioning, drive the gathering of related enterprises to improve the energy level of the entire industrial chain.
At the same time, Hubei also listed a negative list for the development of the chemical industry, drawing red lines from three aspects: project approval, environmental access, and safety review. It is planned that by 2025, the operating income of the province's chemical industry will reach 7500 billion yuan, entering the first echelon of the national petrochemical powerhouse.
Transformed
The old pier becomes an urban living room
Restoring the ecological environment of the Yangtze River is an arduous task entrusted to us by the new era, and it is also the ardent expectation of the people. We must leave a clean and beautiful Yangtze River for future generations!
——On April 2018, 4, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection at the Jingzhou Port wharf
On April 2018, 4, General Secretary Xi Jinping arrived at Jingzhou Port Terminal by car from Yichang, and said as soon as he got off the car: "Jingzhou is beautiful and looks beautiful. ”
Thousands of miles of Yangtze River, beauty in Jingjiang. The change of water and green shores should start with a "husband and wife of garbage collectors on the river". Since 2007, Sun Hongyan and his wife have bought a small boat and rely on the river to transfer garbage from passing boats and collect freight to make a living. The couple drove a small boat every day to salvage and recycle garbage on the river, transfer household garbage and sewage for passing boats, and protect the mother river with practical actions.
As a participant and witness, Sun Hongyan was deeply touched. "There is less garbage on the river, the illegal docks on the shore have been demolished and regreened, and the river water is much clearer!" Sun Hongyan said that the crew's awareness of environmental protection is getting higher and higher, and many crew members have taken the initiative to contact them and consciously send garbage to their ships for disposal.
Today, Sun Hongyan's ship equipment has been upgraded to the ship "Jing Changjing No. 6", equipped with a crane and sewage tank, after the ship docks, the crane can be directly operated to lift the ship's garbage bin to the shore, and the sewage can be directly pumped away by a pressure pump. Influenced by their parents, the two children also joined in and became part of the protection of the Yangtze River.
In the past five years, Sun Hongyan and his wife have seen changes in the Jingjiang section, not only the river water is clearer, but the two sides of the river are also more beautiful.
Less than a kilometer from Jingzhou Port, there is a 3,000-year-old "Yang Wharf", which was once the origin of local commercial port culture. After long-term development, the wharves are densely packed and merchants gather. However, due to the lack of management, Yangwharf has gradually evolved into a huge shantytown, and some domestic sewage and industrial sewage are directly discharged into the Yangtze River, becoming a stubborn disease threatening the ecology of the Yangtze River.
In 2016, Jingzhou City began to launch the transformation of "Yang Wharf", and since 2018, it has accelerated its efforts, investing more than 16.<> billion yuan to build the "Yang Wharf" Cultural and Creative Park. Including ecological restoration projects, landscape engineering, walking trails, etc., it has created a host and guest shared urban living room integrating eco-tourism, cultural display, leisure and entertainment.
Behind the rebirth of the "Yang Wharf" is the determination and action of the whole province of Hubei to break the stubborn ecological diseases along the river. Over the past five years, Hubei has banned more than 1200,<> illegal wharves of all kinds on the Yangtze River trunk line, strengthened the management of river sand mining bans, and basically eliminated "three no" sand mining vessels. Hubei took the lead in implementing the five-level river and lake chief system and forest chief system, and vigorously promoted the "ten-year ban on fishing" in the Yangtze River.
Be adaptable
Ecological bowls are served in migrant villages
Now washing clothes is also green, and I am happy to see that everyone is having a good life!
——On April 2018, 4, General Secretary Xi Jinping said during an inspection tour of Xujiachong Village in Yichang
Xujiachong Village, Taipingxi Town, Yiling District, Yichang City, is close to the Three Gorges Dam and overlooks the Yangtze River, and more than 90% of the village's population is immigrants, and is known as "the first village in the head of the dam head". The villagers say that the Yangtze River is our mother river, and to protect the Yangtze River is to protect their own jobs.
In Xujiachong Village Square, villagers still retain the tradition of washing clothes with mallets. In the past, clothes were washed by the river, but now there is phosphorus-free laundry detergent, and sewage is treated centrally, which not only takes care of the villagers' living habits but also protects the environment.
On April 2018, 4, the village's public laundry pool welcomed a distinguished guest. General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Xujiachong Village, chatted with the villagers about changes and routines, and enthusiastically picked up a mallet to try to wash clothes.
"At that time, the general secretary walked to the convenience laundry pool next to the village square, took the mallet for laundry, leaned down and tried to pound the laundry like us", "The general secretary also wished us a better day", Xu Jiachong talked about the scene when the general secretary came here.
Over the past five years, everyone has kept in mind the general secretary's instructions and strived to become ecological villagers and protect their green homes. The villagers guard the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River also gives back to the villagers. The magnificent style of the gorge has attracted a large number of tourists, the village has opened characteristic homestays, eaten "eco-tourism rice", and the villagers have become more conscious of protecting the green water and green mountains, sorting garbage, and choosing phosphorus-free washing products to ensure that the clear water of the river flows east.
Xie Rong, secretary of the party branch of Xujiachong Village, introduced that in 2022, the total economic income of the village will be 1 million yuan, and the per capita disposable income of farmers will be 25,28480 yuan, an increase of nearly 2018,<> yuan over <>.
Like Xujiachong Village, in Hubei, more and more villages near the river have taken advantage of ecological advantages and riverside advantages to create hot rural tourist attractions. A large number of demonstration sites for the integrated development of agriculture and tourism have emerged one after another, many farmers have eaten "eco-tourism rice", the popularity of rural areas has gradually flourished, and the villagers' lives have become more and more prosperous.
Fast-moving
Traditional industries are revitalized
Enterprises are the main body and important force of the construction of ecological environmental protection of the Yangtze River, and it is necessary to strengthen corporate responsibility, accelerate technological transformation, eliminate backward production capacity, develop cleaner production, and improve the construction capacity of enterprise ecological environmental protection.
——On April 2018, 4, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection tour in Hubei
On the banks of the Yangtze River, the rule of ecological priority has been established, and the industry has also achieved scientific, orderly and high-quality development.
Walking into the factory of Baowu Group Echeng Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. on the Yangtze River, it is full of greenery, and it is not obvious that this is a steel factory with a history of more than 60 years. Across the street is the visitor center, with a golden plaque of "AAA National Tourist Scenic Spot" awarded by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on December 2021, 12.
In the centralized control center of the factory, the real-time pictures and data of each production link of the factory are displayed on the big screen. The 5 operation rooms previously scattered in the 114 square kilometers area of the plant were integrated together, and the process was not reduced, but the degree of informatization and automation was greatly improved, making smart steelmaking, digital steelmaking, converter automatic steelmaking, etc. a reality, changing the stereotype of the traditional steel industry as "silly, big black and rough".
The green steel mill and the clear water of the river are intertwined here, which is a microcosm of Hubei's traditional industries rejuvenating "new vitality" and improving "green content". With the continuous deepening of the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Hubei, located at the "waist of the Yangtze River", has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and at the same time stepped up the layout of strategic emerging industries.
Taking major projects as the traction, Hubei is really planning and implementing a number of good projects with higher "gold content", more "green content" and more "new content", and sketching a beautiful blueprint for high-quality development.
At the end of March this year, in the first quarter, the central government's major projects in Hubei and Hubei Province were held in Han, with 3 major projects and a total investment of 53 billion yuan. From the perspective of investment, more than 740% are concentrated in strategic emerging industries, advanced manufacturing, modern service industries, infrastructure and other fields.
Depends on the machine
Maintain water security with comprehensive management of river basins
Accelerate the construction of an important strategic fulcrum for the rise of the central region, strive to be at the forefront of the country in transforming the mode of economic development, and strive to write a new chapter in Hubei's high-quality development.
——Since the 5th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Hubei five times and entrusted Hubei with missions and tasks
Hubei is the only province where the Yangtze River trunk line flows through a mileage of more than 1,000 kilometers, an important water conservation area in the Yangtze River Basin and an important ecological barrier of the country, a large ecological province and a "province of a thousand lakes", shouldering the important task of ensuring that "one reservoir of clean water is sent to the north and one river is clear water flows east".
These thick signs describe Hubei's resource endowment, and also mark Hubei's important position and mission in accelerating the construction of a national pilot zone for building a new development pattern.
Recently, the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and the Hubei Provincial Government issued the "Outline of the Comprehensive Management and Overall Development Plan of Hubei Province River Basin", which requires overall planning of development and security, with the Yangtze River, Han River, Qingjiang River and their first-class tributaries as the framework, layout key wetland protection and restoration areas, and maintain the bottom line of water security, water environment security, food security and ecological security with comprehensive management of river basins.
This outline is Hubei's latest measure to implement the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
The mission and task of General Secretary Xi Jinping to accelerate the construction of Hubei as an important strategic fulcrum for the rise of the central region, to be at the forefront of the country in transforming the mode of economic development, and to write a new chapter in Hubei's high-quality development in the new era is Hubei's action plan for fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and is the overall design and strategic framework for the construction of the pilot zone.
In order to accelerate the pace of pilot projects, on April 4, Hubei held a series of press conferences on the interpretation of the spirit of the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of a National Pilot Zone for Building a New Development Pattern". The reporter of Changjiang Cloud News learned from the meeting that Hubei will resolutely adhere to the bottom line of ecological security, and use 18 main indicators in 11 aspects, including comprehensive management of river basins and green and low-carbon development, as an important yardstick to measure the effectiveness of the construction of the pilot zone.
gushing, galloping; Voices of encouragement, urging people to forge ahead.
Hubei is fully implementing the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee on the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, so that the "song of the Yangtze River" in the new era will continue to be written more vividly on the land of Jingchu.
