Editor's note:

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has published a series of important speeches and important articles, which are distinctive in style, profound in thought, and profound in connotation. They use history to reflect reality and look into the future, shining with the truth of Marxism.

The charming language in these important speeches and articles is a true portrayal of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s governing philosophy and a vivid reflection of his personality charm.

The "Daily Learning" column of CCTV launched the "Idiom Reading" series, which takes the form of "news comics + text reading" to help you understand the charm of General Secretary Xi Jinping's language from different dimensions.

  On January 18, 2019, at the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development symposium, facing the leaders from all over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region gathered together, General Secretary Xi Jinping used vivid metaphors to profoundly clarify the relationship between the three places. Just like the petals on a flower, the petals are different, but the petals are concentric.”

  In nature, petals have different shapes, and each petal has its own characteristics.

However, these petals are all part of the same flower. Only when they grow in the same center can the flowers bloom brightly.

  The general secretary's remarks dialectically pointed out that things are characterized by diversity and unity. Only when all parties follow common development concepts and goals, cooperate and achieve mutual benefit and win-win, can overall prosperity and development be achieved.

  To achieve coordinated development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the three places must move toward each other and work together.

This is not only geographical proximity, but also psychological recognition and behavioral cooperation.

  As the capital, Beijing has unparalleled political and cultural advantages.

As the economic center of the Bohai Rim region, Tianjin has a strong industrial base and marine resources.

Hebei, with its rich land resources and profound historical and cultural heritage, provides broad space for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

  Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei each have their own geographical characteristics and resource endowments, but their economic development is interdependent and forms a complete regional development system.

  As early as May 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed to write a "Two Cities Tale" of Beijing and Tianjin for socialist modernization in the new era during his investigation in Tianjin.

  In August 2013, when General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the study of Hebei's development issues in Beidaihe, he proposed to promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

  In February 2014, the General Secretary presided over a symposium in Beijing to listen to a report on the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and put forward seven requirements, especially emphasizing the need to "consciously break the one-acre three-quarters of land" thinking. It clearly conveys the thinking orientation of one-map planning, one-game construction and integrated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.

  Coordinated development is not a simple "welcome and send", but requires the concerted efforts of many aspects such as economy, culture, people's livelihood, ecology, institutions and mechanisms to move forward together.

  Over the past ten years, a game of chess, integration, and a blueprint have been implemented to the end.

A new picture of coordinated development with complementary functions, staggered development, and mutual reinforcement is slowly unfolding on a land of 216,000 square kilometers with a population of more than 100 million.

  The decentralization of Beijing's non-capital functions has achieved initial results, the construction of Xiongan New Area has achieved major phased results, the pace of high-quality development of Beijing's urban sub-center has accelerated, and the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on track" has accelerated coordinated development... The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei junction has Under the Three Boundary Monument, the new changes in the lives of villagers in the three places reflect the great changes of the times.

  With the first breakthroughs in cooperation in a series of key areas, co-construction and sharing of public services has been further accelerated, and the people have enjoyed more and more dividends from coordinated development.

  Insured persons in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region can enjoy medical insurance reimbursement benefits when seeking medical treatment and purchasing medicines at designated medical institutions in the three regions without having to go through registration procedures for medical treatment in other places. The "one-card travel" for cross-regional medical treatment has brought real convenience to the masses.

  The three places have continued to deepen cooperation in areas such as sharing of government affairs data, "inter-provincial service" for 234 government affairs services, "same standard for colleagues" in 179 items, social insurance transfer and renewal, and pension benefit qualification certification. Integrated and coordinated development has led to a growing sense of recognition among the people. The stronger.

  Educational cooperation is further expanded, coordination of elderly care services is increasingly deepened, inter-provincial commuting bids farewell to "people on awkward roads", Beijing-Tianjin intercity, Beijing-Tangshan intercity, customized express buses improve the quality and speed of commuters' lives...

  Looking back on the past ten years, the General Secretary has provided guidance for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei at different times and key nodes.

  Looking back on the past ten years, one important plan has been introduced and one major project has been implemented. The national strategy of coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has continued to be deepened and implemented.

  From the personal experience of the continuous improvement of people's livelihood and well-being to the ever-changing urban landscape, every bit of change reflects the new pattern of coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

  The blooming of a flower requires careful watering and long-term brewing. The blooming flowers are inseparable from the radiance of petals.

  Resource sharing, complementary advantages, hand in hand, heart to heart, working together, this is a vivid portrayal of the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, which is "different but concentric".
