On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, the flavor of the new year is getting stronger. Early that morning, General Secretary Xi Jinping arrived in Tianjin on the "Fuxing".
"Being the hub of the river and the sea, it is the gateway of Jifu." This city is surrounded by the river and the sea, where the waves of history and the pulse of the times intersect.
The people are the endless power of this land. Visiting and expressing condolences to grassroots cadres and the masses is the most important theme of this inspection.
The village that has restored production and life after the disaster is in order; the antique streets are full of people; the solemn memorial hall records an important battle in the process of realizing the people's liberation; at the work report meeting of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, modernization construction and high quality were deeply elaborated Development also focuses on the well-being of the people.
General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the people: "The Lunar New Year is the Year of the Dragon. The dragon in Chinese culture has multiple meanings such as bravery, endless vitality, good luck, and good luck, and entrusts a beautiful vision. Everyone must be full of confidence in the new year and put it into perspective. Life is better.”
A concern, keep it in my heart
The car drove along the frozen Ziya River into Sixth Port Village in Xiqing District.
The Haihe Plain is like a huge dustpan with high northwest and low southeast. Thousands of lakes return to ruins, hundreds of rivers flow to the sea. And here is a low-lying land where three rivers meet.
When a severe basin-wide flood occurred in the Haihe River last year, Liubu Village was also affected. Local cadres told General Secretary Xi Jinping that the water depth was 2.51 meters at the time, and more than 2,000 vegetable greenhouses in the village were flooded.
When the general secretary entered the village, he first took a look at the restoration of these greenhouses and learned about the restoration of local agricultural production.
Hao Jian and Zhang Fengwen were busy working in the new shed. Pick, pack, and prepare fresh vegetables for delivery to communities in the city.
Seeing the General Secretary, they were excited and moved, and introduced their vegetable plots one after another. New shed, new days, new hope. "Special thanks to the party and the government for repairing the greenhouses, replanting and replanting, and quickly resuming production."
This is also one of Tianjin’s vegetable bases. General Secretary Xi Jinping held Lao Hao's hand: "We should thank you for your hard work and enriching the 'vegetable basket' for the Spring Festival."
"Our dishes are all delicious, especially sweet." Zhang Fengwen said.
General Secretary Xi Jinping asked with a smile: "Why is the dish so sweet?"
"Water is good, soil is good, red sandy soil."
After working hard year after year, the villagers regard the land under their feet as a treasure. General Secretary Xi Jinping is well aware of the worries and hopes of the villagers, and has always been concerned about those places that have been hit by disasters. After last year's floods, he went to the disaster-stricken areas in Heilongjiang to see the progress of replanting. When winter began in the north, he went to the disaster-stricken areas in Beijing and Hebei to see whether the guarantee of a warm winter was in place. Now, on the eve of the Spring Festival, he is thinking about the villagers in the disaster-stricken areas. Can you have a good year?
In the village, the General Secretary walked into Du Honggang's home where four generations lived together.
Flower cakes, New Year steamed buns, window grilles, lanterns, everything is festive. The old lady with silver hair greeted the general secretary. "How old are you?" "You're 84!" "Tough! Tough!"
The General Secretary asked detailed questions about medical insurance for the elderly, children's education, and employment for young people.
"Is there anything else that the party and the government should care about and help?"
"With the help of the party and the government, we quickly overcome the difficulties and don't find life difficult. We have added a grandson to the family. This year is a very happy year for the whole family."
After hearing these words, General Secretary Xi Jinping was very emotional: "Only when the country is safe and the people are safe can the country be safe. The Party Central Committee, party committees and governments at all levels always care about everyone's safety and security, and hope that the villagers will rely on their own hands to rebuild a beautiful home and create a better homeland." Happy life."
Fight floods and earthquakes, stabilize the economy and promote development, respond to situations and open new ones... In the storm, the party and the people want to be together, work together, fight together, and struggle together. What I am always worried about is the happy life of the people, the "greatest thing in the country."
In the village square, all the villagers came. The smiles of the white-haired old man and the young boy warmed the heart. Folks working outside have also come back. They cheered and wished the General Secretary New Year's greetings.
"Hello folks!"
"I am very happy to see such an atmosphere and scene after the disaster. In post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, our country, especially the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, has recovered very well after the flood. The Party Central Committee has also made a determination. For the sake of the people's livelihood and contentment, we will strive to build better water conservancy and flood control projects." Concentrate our efforts on major tasks. The more difficult and urgent the time, the more we can unite and overcome difficulties.
"The common people's affairs are the most important thing and must be handled well." Simple but firm.
A legacy that lasts forever
Tianjin Ancient Culture Street is dressed in festive attire.
This is the earliest economic, cultural and commercial gathering place in Tianjin, and is known as the "Hometown of Tianjin". Red lanterns, Chinese knots, and the big word "福" are embedded among the brick walls and bluestone slabs that have been mottled by time, like a painting that blends tradition and modernity.
After the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control phase, the ancient streets, alleys and scenic spots in the north and south of the Yangtze River have become lively. This street is also crowded with people. The arrival of General Secretary Xi Jinping has made the ancient street abuzz.
When he saw children eating sweets and vendors selling gaba vegetables, the general secretary walked up to them and had a chat. "Vegetable baskets", "rice bags", "fruit plates", the production, sale and supply of people's livelihood commodities during the festival are related to whether people can consume with confidence and celebrate the New Year happily. It is a family matter and a state matter.
Looking at the ancient streets, you can see the political connections and people, as well as the inheritance of cultural heritage. General Secretary Xi Jinping noticed a banner, "Enjoy the Chinese Year." The long cultural context is infiltrated into the bones of this city and integrated into the long journey. The General Secretary has high hopes for Tianjin: "Create a cultural brand with distinctive characteristics and profound connotations to further highlight Tianjin's new modern look."
Many "time-honored" brands are located here. Guifaxiang 18th Street, which has a long history, is famous for its twists and nuts. After entering the store, he asked about the varieties, customer flow, and prices. The general secretary also bought a few boxes of twists and chestnut soup, and gave two boxes to a little boy next to him.
Clay figurine Zhang began in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. The general secretary walked into the store and saw each piece of work with both spirit and form. A craftsman is focusing on repairing the clay sculpture of "Confucius Playing the Qin", talking about the processes of drying, firing, polishing, and coloring. General Secretary Xi Jinping lamented that the spirit of craftsmanship from generation to generation has allowed the cultural heritage to continue.
The Yangliuqing woodblock New Year picture shop on the street is crowded with tourists. Yangliuqing woodblock New Year paintings began in the Ming Dynasty. Due to the opening of the canal, the north and the south blended together and were eclectic. The general secretary looked at the craftsmanship of "hooking, engraving, printing, painting, and mounting" and said, "There have been more than one year in a row, which reflects people's yearning for a better life."
Time flows in the ancient streets. In recent years, Beijing’s Qianmen Old Hutong, Guangzhou’s Yongqingfang, Chaozhou’s Arch Street, Fuzhou’s Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, Lhasa’s Barkhor Street, Shanxi’s Pingyao Ancient City, Suzhou’s Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District…these old streets complement each other and carry the burden of It embodies historical memory and condenses the new look of the times.
While wandering around, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization is inseparable from the inheritance and promotion of excellent traditional culture. Tianjin is a city with great characteristics and charm. It is necessary to protect and utilize historical and cultural blocks to make them a modern metropolis." The construction shines brightly.”
On the streets, drums were playing loudly, and dragon and lion dances were performed in a joyous manner. People from all directions were pouring in, and it was so crowded. "Happy New Year, General Secretary," greetings, cheers, and applause echoed for a long time.
"Seeing citizens and tourists beaming with joy while enjoying traditional folk performances, I feel the strong flavor of the New Year." "During the Spring Festival, various places can hold more cultural activities that are popular with the masses to make the festival more festive and cheerful." The general secretary said to Wishing you all a warm and warm New Year:
"I wish the Chinese people at home and abroad good health, family happiness, all the best, and good luck in the Year of the Dragon! I wish our great motherland good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people!"
An inspiration, reviewing the past and learning the new
Tianjin has a rich historical and cultural heritage. “To educate people, to benefit the people with culture, to nourish the city with culture, to develop industries with culture”, General Secretary Xi Jinping regards red resources as precious spiritual wealth.
The Battle of Pingjin, the last of the "three major battles" of the War of Liberation, was a glorious page of the Chinese revolution. On the morning of the second day of the inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall.
Where do you come from, where do you go, learn from the past, know the future, and learn from history. Here, explore the key to the success or failure of your career and relive the hard-won success of the red country.
Telegram manuscripts, military sand tables, historical photos... truly and shockingly reproduce the thrilling years.
The Battle of Tianjin lasted only 29 hours of fierce fighting. "Advance from east to west, cut off from the middle, go from south to north, first divide and then encircle and annihilate, first eat the meat and then gnaw the bones." When the People's Liberation Army met at Jintang Bridge, the enemy's defense, which they thought was impregnable, was defeated like a mountain. "What the army fights for is morale!" the General Secretary praised.
A battle involving arms and firepower is also a battle between people's support and disapproval. In 1949, when Comrade Mao Zedong answered "What clever plan was used?", he said that there is no clever plan in fighting a war, and the support of the people is the greatest clever plan.
In front of the display board of "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention", General Secretary Xi Jinping paused for a long time: "People's hearts and minds are the most important."
In the exhibition hall, Kang tables, pots and bowls, wooden hammers, spinning wheels, rice bags... thousands of villagers "sent the last bowl of rice to make military rations, the last foot of cloth to make military uniforms, the last old cotton jacket to cover the stretcher, The last of my flesh and blood is sent to the battlefield." The general secretary said emotionally: "The victory of the war really depends on logistics and the people."
Listen to the echoes of history.
"This time I saw the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall. I saw all three major battle memorial halls. The three major battles have an irreplaceable role in the history of China's revolutionary war and will be recorded in the annals of history as classics."
General Secretary Xi Jinping spoke with sincerity: "We have known about this history for a long time, but we still need to learn from it, ponder over it, absorb nutrients, refine and sublimate our understanding."
A burden to do well and accomplish well
Tianjin is an old city. The grain-carrying ships at Yuanmengkou and the Yantuo land by the Haihe River have drifted away. There was once a tide that gathered thousands of ships here, and there was also the dazzling brilliance of industrial civilization. But now, the rut of time has reached a new era and a new journey. How will Tianjin develop?
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Tianjin four times. From the perspective of time, the deployment of Tianjin's development requires clear thinking, continuity and consistency.
From a spatial perspective, Tianjin's development is a microcosm of China's rapid changes. At the work report meeting of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government on the afternoon of the second day of the inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged: “Focus on the central task of economic construction and the primary task of high-quality development” and “promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei as a strategy” Leading" and "comprehensively building a socialist modern metropolis".
This is Tianjin’s strategic positioning in the overall national situation, and it is a heavy burden.
At the report meeting, the General Secretary profoundly elaborated on four key points around positioning, requiring Tianjin to do well in developing new productive forces, comprehensively deepening reform and opening up, cultural inheritance and development, and modernizing urban governance. An ancient poem describes Tianjin: "The Tianjin gate is full of mist, and the sky is floating on the ground and the sea is in the east." The outline of these four aspects is like a floating sky on the ground, and the scene is magnificent.
On the eve of this trip, while presiding over a collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in Beijing, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again emphasized that "high-quality development is the absolute principle of the new era" and profoundly discussed that "the development of new productive forces is an inherent requirement and requirement for promoting high-quality development." Important focus."
"The characteristic is innovation, the key is high quality, and the essence is advanced productivity." The connotation of new quality productivity is in line with the development needs of Tianjin today.
General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged Tianjin: “Be brave and take the lead in developing new productive forces and do well.”
Tianjin created "hundred firsts" such as China's first modern university, the first public hospital in modern times, the first tram, and the first machine mint. General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about Feige brand bicycles and Seagull brand watches, which became household names in a generation. The gleaming heritage has laid the foundation for Tianjin to serve as a national advanced manufacturing R&D base.
The current situation is that Beijing incubates and Tianjin implements, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei collaborative innovation and industrial cooperation are advancing in depth. "With industrial transfer and industry complementation, your development space is greater than in the past." The general secretary further pointed out the direction: "We must focus on promoting the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and deepen the regional integration and Beijing-Tianjin urbanization development system. Mechanism innovation, singing the story of Beijing and Tianjin's 'Two Cities', and effectively connecting the regional innovation chain, industrial chain, supply chain, capital chain and talent chain."
"'Tale of Two Cities' I chose two groups of places, the twin cities of Beijing and Tianjin and the twin cities of Chengdu and Chongqing. How many intercity trains are there a day between Beijing and Tianjin?"
"142 pairs."
“Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is taking shape on track.” Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is one of the three important power sources leading the country’s high-quality development, and the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has been a national strategy for nearly ten years. "We must strengthen co-construction and sharing in public services, and strengthen the city effect in social governance." "We must strengthen scientific and technological innovation collaboration and industrial system integration with Beijing, and work together to build a world-class advanced manufacturing cluster."
The theme education on learning and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is about to come to an end. The main responsible comrades in Tianjin City reported on the achievements of always learning, constantly learning, and constantly enlightening.
General Secretary Xi Jinping is far-sighted: "Learning theory is a process of continuous accumulation and deepening. It is necessary to improve the long-term mechanism, consolidate and expand the results of thematic education, and guide party members and cadres to continue to study the party's innovative theories in depth."
The most important thing is simplicity, hard work is the key. This time, the general secretary once again emphasized the promotion of a truth-seeking and pragmatic work style: "Formalism and bureaucracy are stubborn and chronic diseases that occur from time to time and are impossible to prevent. We must continue to grasp and repeatedly grasp them." "We will fully promote the implementation of the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee. "
With the development of the plan, the words and sentences are full of sincere and deep feelings of the people.
"Tianjin must implement the concept of a people's city and make ensuring residents live and work in peace and contentment a top priority." From building a moderately prosperous society in all respects to solidly promoting common prosperity, everything revolves around the concerns of the people. Clothing, food, housing, transportation, education, medical care, elderly care... Thousands of households are involved, and hard work is to "give the people a new sense of gain."
The Year of the Dragon is approaching, and we are full of longing for the future.
