General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that Xiong'an New Area has entered the stage of large-scale construction and undertaking Beijing's non-capital function dredging, and the focus of work has shifted to high-quality construction, high-level management, and high-quality dredging and development. It is necessary to strengthen confidence, maintain determination, strike steadily, do good work, and continuously make new progress in all work.

6 years, more than 2000 days and nights. On the North China Plain, a new city broke ground, sprouted and grew.

The establishment of Xiong'an New Area in Hebei Province is a major project of the millennium and a major national event. From site selection to planning and construction, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally decided, personally deployed, personally promoted, and devoted a lot of effort to guide the planning and construction of Xiong'an New Area.

With high starting point planning, high-standard construction and high-quality development, Xiong'an New Area, the city of the future, is striding towards us.

(1) Decision-making

"This is the construction of a new district grasped by the central authorities after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Xiong'an New Area is a functional expansion area approved by the Party Central Committee of the capital, which has national significance like Shanghai Pudong and Guangdong Shenzhen, and this positioning must be grasped well. ”

This is a special investigation.

On the morning of February 2017, 2, General Secretary Xi Jinping set off from Zhongnanhai and drove more than 23 kilometers to Anxin County, Hebei Province.

On this day, the North China Plain, after the snow, the first sky, everything is moist. General Secretary Xi Jinping came to an open area in Xiaowangying Village, Dawang Town, to inspect the scene. This is the core plot of the start-up area of the planned Xiong'an New Area.

Before the unfolding planning map, General Secretary Xi Jinping carefully inspected the location and planning status, and learned in detail about the relocation and resettlement of the population, the geological and hydrological conditions in the region, and other conditions.

"How are the people living in this place? How densely populated is it? What is the demolition population? General Secretary Xi Jinping asked carefully. He advised: To establish Xiong'an New Area, we must let the people get more benefits and have a real sense of gain.

At noon that day, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a small symposium in Anxin County. The general secretary stressed that the planning and construction of Xiong'an New Area is a strategic choice of great historical significance, and a historic project to ease Beijing's non-capital functions and promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

More than a month later, on April 2017, 4, Xinhua News Agency was authorized to publish that the CPC Central Committee and the State Council had decided to establish the Xiong'an New Area in Hebei.

Xiong'an, "Xiongxian" and "Anxin County" each take one word, which not only respects history, but also means auspicious.

The new city of Xiong'an began to nurture the power to grow and influence the future.

An era must have a benchmark for the development of an era.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has deployed a major strategy to promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the core of which is to explore the mode of optimal development of economically densely populated areas by easing Beijing's non-capital functions, and stumbling out the way to solve the "big city disease" with Chinese characteristics.

How to bring out the historical heritage of the thousand-year-old city in the evolution of the times? What kind of capital should China, which is rapidly moving towards national rejuvenation, build? How to solve the problems in urban planning and construction to promote coordinated development? A series of questions of the times haunt General Secretary Xi Jinping's heart.

Go to Tianjin to investigate, study the development of Hebei, visit the capital Beijing... In promoting the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, the idea of choosing a centralized bearing place for Beijing's non-capital functions has gradually emerged.

"It is necessary to adhere to and strengthen the core functions of the capital, adjust and weaken the functions that are not suitable for the capital, and transfer some functions to Hebei and Tianjin. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out.

The direction became clearer, the thinking became clearer, and the strategic concept of establishing a new city outside Beijing gradually matured.

"More points, one city, old city reorganization" - On February 2015, 2, the ninth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group deliberated on the outline of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development plan, and General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward this idea in his speech. The "one city" is to study and think about the construction of new cities outside Beijing.

February 2015, 2, the ninth meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group; April 10, 2015, meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee; On April 4, 2, the Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee... In just over two months, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over three important meetings to study the Outline of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Plan.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out the direction: "To deeply study and demonstrate the issue of new cities, we can consider planning in suitable places in Hebei to build a modern new city led by new development concepts." ”

The Outline of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Plan, issued in June 2015, fully reflects General Secretary Xi Jinping's strategic vision, and clearly states: "In-depth research, scientific demonstration, planning and construction of a centralized bearing area with a considerable scale and comparable to the development environment of the relief area." ”

Where was this centralized bearer chosen? In what positioning?

This historic choice requires not only courage, but also wisdom.

According to the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Leading Group has repeatedly organized relevant departments of the State Council, Hebei Province, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Expert Advisory Committee and other relevant parties to hold special meetings and small-scale meetings, comprehensively considering factors such as location, transportation, land, water resources and energy security, environmental capacity, population and economic and social development, and repeatedly demonstrated the location of the new area after several rounds of comparison.

Important speeches after important speeches, scientific demonstrations, step by step... From thinking to planning, from instructions to planning, from requirements to deployment, General Secretary Xi Jinping's strategic thinking on the establishment of new districts has been deepened, and the idea has gradually become a reality.

Choose a new district that concentrates on the functions of Beijing's non-capital city, which cannot be too far away or too close. Too close is easy to join together, and it does not achieve the purpose of dredging; If it is too far away, it is difficult to accept Beijing's radiation and drive, and it cannot better undertake and transfer non-capital functions.

The scheme of "Xiongxian-Rongcheng-Anxin" was gradually confirmed in several plan competitions and finally stood out. It is located in the hinterland of Beijing-Tianjin-Bao, with obvious advantages of all parties, excellent geological support conditions for land and water conservancy environment, and abundant development space...

May 2016, 5, which is an important day to study the establishment of Hebei Xiong'an New Area——

On this morning, a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee was held at Huairen Hall, Zhongnanhai, to deliberate on the "Report on Planning and Building Beijing's Sub-center and Studying the Establishment of Hebei Xiong'an New Area." "Xiong'an New Area" first appeared in the title of the draft report.

At this meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "This is the construction of a new district grasped by the central government after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Xiong'an New Area is a functional expansion area approved by the Party Central Committee of the capital, which has national significance like Shanghai Pudong and Guangdong Shenzhen, and this positioning must be grasped well. ”

Recalling the process of Xiong'an New Area from planning to establishment, Wu Hequan, deputy head of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Expert Advisory Committee and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said: "The millennium plan reflects General Secretary Xi Jinping's attitude of responsibility for the nation and history. Our expectations for Xiong'an New Area are not only a new area in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, but also look further, hoping that it will play an exemplary role in the development of the whole country in the new era. ”

The city of a thousand years set sail from here.

(2) Planning

"We must adhere to the most advanced concepts and world-class level planning, design and construction, which can withstand the test of history."

At the beginning of summer, Baiyangdian is blue and rippling, and water birds are flying. Depart by boat from the pier and take half an hour by water to Zhao Zhuangzi Village, the hometown of the movie prototype "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".

On February 2017, 2, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a special trip to Baiyangdian during his on-site inspection of the construction plan of Xiong'an New Area. This was the first time the general secretary had come, and he said: "When I was a child, I read the story of Zhang Ga, a little soldier, and I was very fascinated by this place. I used to work in Zhengding, Hebei Province, but I never had the opportunity to come. ”

Walking through the Baiyangdian embankment in Anxin County Country Park, along the long wooden plank road, General Secretary Xi Jinping stepped into the depths of the Dian District. He ascended a wooden observation deck and looked around the open Baiyangdian, but saw the sparkling, ungreen reeds shining golden in the sun.

Lower of the Nine Rivers, West Lake in the North. Sitting on the "Pearl of North China" Baiyangdian, Xiong'an New Area has natural ecological advantages. However, in the past, Baiyangdian has also encountered threats such as "thirst" and pollution.

During this inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that to build the Xiong'an New Area, we must repair and protect Baiyangdian well. In the future, the city is so close to Baiyangdian that there should be a protected zone. There must be strict management methods, absolutely not allowed to discharge sewage into it, absolutely not allowed to vandalize.

Two years later, in January 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Xiong'an New Area again. When talking about the new district's efforts to deal with the relationship between the city and the lake, the general secretary talked about the consideration of site selection: "At that time, the site was selected here to protect Baiyangdian, not to damage Baiyangdian. The city and the lake should reflect and complement each other. ”

Qiu Xiangguo, a villager in Qiu Xiaowang Village in Rongcheng County, who used to be a forest ranger, often recalled meeting General Secretary Xi Jinping.

On January 2019, 1, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the afforestation area of the first district of the Daqinghe Forest of the "Millennium Xiulin", took a car through the forest area to inspect the growth of the forest, and climbed the platform of the Xiulin Station to overlook the whole forest area.

General Secretary Xi Jinping said that a good ecological environment is an important value embodiment of Xiong'an New Area. The "millennium plan" should start from the "millennium showforest" and strive to continue to unfold the beautiful picture of blue and green intertwining and harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Just past the "May Day" holiday, the old revolutionary area attracted a large number of tourists, and the farmhouses in the village were almost full. "Six years ago, the villagers gathered together to imagine the future of their hometown, and now everyone has eaten ecological rice and lived a good life." Zhao Wenxiang, deputy secretary of the party branch of Zhao Zhuangzi Village, deep in Baiyangdian District, said.

"World vision, international standards, Chinese characteristics, high-point positioning, insisting on a blueprint to the end, and participating in the planning and preparation of Xiong'an New Area are the most important part of my career." Yin Huiliang, executive vice president of Xiong'an Research Institute of China Academy of Urban Planning and Design, was full of emotion.

More than 60 academicians, more than 200 teams at home and abroad, and more than 3500,1 experts and technicians have participated in the preparation of the new district planning system; Under the guidance of the "Planning Outline of Hebei Xiong'an New Area", the "4+<>+N" planning system has gradually taken shape, laying a solid foundation for the new area to steadily undertake the dredging of non-capital functions in Beijing and achieve high-standard planning and high-quality construction.

February 2018, 2, Zhongnanhai. The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting to hear a report on the planning and preparation of Xiong'an New Area in Hebei Province.

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the early stage of reform and opening up created the speed of Shenzhen, and today, 40 years later, we should aim at the goal of "two steps" in 2035 and the middle of this century, create "Xiong'an quality", and become a model for the whole country in promoting high-quality development.

On April 2018, 4, the full text of the Planning Outline of Hebei Xiong'an New Area, approved by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, was released, and the blueprint of Xiong'an New Area was officially presented to the world.

Based on the future, build Xiong'an.

In January 2019, at the Xiong'an New Area Planning Exhibition Center, General Secretary Xi Jinping carefully examined the "Hebei Xiong'an New Area Planning Outline" on the display board.

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the construction of Xiong'an New Area is a millennium plan. First of all, the new district must reflect forward-looking and leading in the concept of planning and construction.

General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "In the past two years, almost every brick has been moved. Now with the blueprint, Xiong'an has shifted from the top-level design stage to the substantive construction stage, and this year may be a hot situation. ”

The blueprint is drawn, and the drum is beaten to urge the call.

(3) Construction

"We must fully implement the new development concept, adhere to the requirements of high-quality development, and strive to create a benchmark for high-quality development in the new era."

At 6:50 a.m., a Fuxing high-speed train slowly left Xiong'an Station and sped all the way to the capital Beijing. In the morning light, the teardrop-shaped silver-gray building of Xiong'an Station is beautiful, like a drop of dew on a lotus leaf in Baiyangdian.

Yang Bin served as the commander of the Beijing-Xiongxiong Intercity Railway Construction Headquarters. In a video he treasured, "Green Lotus Dewdrop" is still a construction site. "We were standing here at that time, and the general secretary connected with us."

On January 2019, 1, when General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Xiong'an New Area for research, he went to the New District Planning and Exhibition Center, where the builders of the construction site of the Xiong'an Station of the Beijing-Xiong'an Intercity Railway were connected through a large screen.

The moment the video connected, the construction site boiled.

"The construction of the Beijing-Xiongxiong Intercity Railway began on February 2018, 2, and it is planned that the entire line will be completed and opened to traffic by the end of 28." Yang Bin stood in front of the scaffolding wearing a hard hat and shouted: "Do comrades have confidence?" "Yes!" The loud answer resounded through the wilderness.

Seeing this scene, General Secretary Xi Jinping said with emotion that it is now a cold winter and freezing weather, but our railway builders are still working hard. You are doing pioneering work for the construction of Xiong'an New Area, a "millennium plan", and you have made great contributions. The people of the whole country are looking forward to your good news!

More than a year later, the good news came. On December 2020, 12, the entire line of the Beijing-Xiong'an intercity railway was put into operation, and the vast number of builders wrote the "Chinese speed" connecting Beijing and Xiong'an with their hands.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has ardent expectations for Xiong'an New Area: "We must fully implement the new development concept, adhere to the requirements of high-quality development, and strive to create a benchmark for high-quality development in the new era." ”

"Green ecological livable new urban area", "innovation-driven development leading area", "coordinated development demonstration area" and "open development pilot area", the development positioning of Xiong'an New Area vividly interprets the rich connotation of high-quality development benchmark in the new era.

Coordinated development itself is a deep-seated reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to give Xiong'an New Area the autonomy to develop, as long as it is conducive to the innovative development of Xiong'an, it must be fully supported.

In January 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Xiong'an New Area Government Service Center to inspect the service window and understand the work of deepening the reform of the governance system and mechanism and building a service-oriented government in the New Area.

"You are the first batch of entrepreneurs to come to Xiong'an to start a business, right?" At the government service center, hearing General Secretary Xi Jinping's inquiry, entrepreneurs gathered around and competed to tell about their entrepreneurial dreams in Xiong'an.

The general secretary encouraged everyone: "Our construction of Xiong'an New Area requires the participation of enterprises from all walks of life. Whether it is a state-owned or private enterprise, whether it is a local or Beijing enterprise, whether it is a Chinese enterprise or a foreign-funded enterprise, we must seize this golden opportunity, seize the historical opportunity, and be the tide of national rejuvenation, reform and innovation! ”

Recalling the scene at that time, Chang Yongshan, general manager of Xiong'an Branch of CETC Group Taiji Computer Co., Ltd., was excited: "The general secretary said that we are the first batch of tide makers in the new area, which is a great encouragement. Chang Yongshan and his colleagues invested in the planning and construction of Xiong'an Smart City, participated in the construction of Xiong'an New Area One-Net Office, China Xiong'an Group Office Information System and other projects, and poured their enthusiasm for entrepreneurship into every brick of the future city.

Wen Hui, a staff member of the Market Entity Access Group of the Public Service Bureau of Xiong'an New Area, also remembers the scene of General Secretary Xi Jinping's inspection at the government service center——

General Secretary Xi Jinping said to everyone: "We must use modern information technology to promote the connection and sharing of government affairs information, improve the level of government service informatization, intelligence, precision and convenience, and let the masses run less errands." ”

"The general secretary's instructions make us feel a heavy responsibility." Wen Hui said that we should work together to create a good business environment so that entrepreneurs who come to the new district to start businesses can stay and develop well.

Today's Xiong'an New Area is full of vitality and vitality. Young people come to Xiong'an New Area from afar to start a business with dreams, and locals are full of hope to return to their hometown to start a business.

In the waiting hall of Xiong'an Station, a "millennium wheel" attracts the attention of passengers. Its start date was set for April 2017, 4, the day when "Xiongan" first became known to the public. On the base of the "Millennium Wheel", eight large golden characters are engraved - "The plan of the millennium begins now." The gears are constantly turning, recording the trajectory of history.

Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, adhere to the grand view of history, maintain historical patience, work one stubble after another, ensure that a blueprint is drawn to the end, and strive to create "Xiong'an quality", Chinese-style modernization will interpret more and better stories here.
