  Representative Sun Jingnan, a welder from CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Rolling Stock Co., Ltd., talked about welding very familiarly.

At this moment, face to face with General Secretary Xi Jinping, she started from a profound sentiment:

  "After I graduated from a vocational high school in 1990, I have witnessed the transformation of my country's rail transit from a 'chaser' to a 'leader' in the past 30 years, from traditional railway passenger cars to subways and high-speed trains, from the introduction of foreign technology to large-scale independent research and development. The journey of progress.”

  In one sentence, he sketched a magnificent picture of the times.

General Secretary Xi Jinping was deeply moved after hearing this: "After the founding of New China, we started from scratch, starting from scratch, and then developed through introduction, digestion, absorption, and development. We have gone through two stages."

  One stage is from the founding of New China to before reform and opening up. "This period is to lay the foundation. Without this foundation, there will be no rapid development after reform and opening up."

The second stage is after the reform and opening up. “In the beginning, it was ‘three to come and one to supplement’, and later it developed to the point where everything is our own.”

  The general secretary looked at the venue: "I am extremely proud of this thought. Take transportation as an example, my country's automobile production and sales are now the largest in the world, new energy vehicles are the best, and the highway mileage is the longest. High-speed rail has gone out, urban rail transit has also gone out, ships have also gone out, we have also built large aircraft, and the 'three pearls' of the shipbuilding industry have been built..."

  What does it rely on?

It is reform and opening up, keeping integrity and innovation, and it is hundreds of millions of people who continue to struggle and move forward indomitably.

  As a craftsman from the front line, representative Sun Jingnan shared her thoughts in her speech: "What is a 'craftsman'? It means that you are 'careful' about yourself in the professional field, and only after hard work can you achieve breakthroughs."

  “The craftsmen of a great country are the cornerstones and pillars of the building of our Chinese nation.” General Secretary Xi Jinping praised, “The transportation industry is moving forward step by step and is at the forefront of the world. The most important thing here is the craftsmen. Good drawing design alone is not enough. In the end It must be implemented in the hands of welders, 'without diamonds, you can't get the porcelain job'."

  Vocational education is fertile ground for cultivating craftsmen. The General Secretary further emphasized: "We must develop vocational education well, establish the spirit of craftsmen, and ensure their remuneration conditions. We must train front-line craftsmen from big countries in batches. It’s the backbone.”

  Manufacturing is the stage where craftsmen of great countries create miracles.

Jiangsu is a major manufacturing province. Its total economic output reached 12.8 trillion yuan last year, accounting for one-tenth of the country's total.

Over the years, General Secretary Xi Jinping has been paying close attention to the development of Jiangsu and expects Jiangsu to "take the lead" in the process of Chinese-style modernization: "We must seize every favorable opportunity, make use of all favorable conditions, work hard when we see the right ones, and put all our efforts into Bring it up."

  Walk the right path, be firm and sober.

General Secretary Xi Jinping talked about new quality productivity, and his instructions contained dialectical thinking:

  "Developing new productive forces does not mean neglecting or abandoning traditional industries. We need to prevent rushes and bubbles, and we do not want to create a model. All localities must proceed from reality, establish first and then break, adapt measures to local conditions, and provide classified guidance. According to local conditions Resource endowments, industrial foundations, scientific research conditions, etc., to selectively promote the development of new industries, new models, and new drivers, use new technologies to transform and upgrade traditional industries, and actively promote high-end, intelligent, and green industries."

Have more in-depth contact with museums (on-site observation of the two sessions)

  Time: Afternoon of March 5

  Agenda: General Secretary Xi Jinping attends the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation

  Nanjing, the "ancient capital of six dynasties", has history engraved on the bricks and tiles, and time flows in the streets.

  Representative Song Yan from the Nanjing Municipal Museum told General Secretary Xi Jinping the story of the construction of the Six Dynasties Museum.

"Return every particle to the warehouse and protect the city wall." Over the past eight years, they have collected the Ming Dynasty city wall bricks that were scattered outside one by one, and recovered more than 400,000 bricks.

This is a vivid microcosm of the cultural relics protected by more than 6,000 museums across the country.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping listened attentively.

"I have loved going to museums since I was a child. I have seen almost all the museums in Beijing when I was a child." The general secretary recalled the scene when he was riding a bicycle to school as a child. The ancient city wall of Beijing is still fresh in his memory.

  It is a heavy mission to bring alive the cultural relics collected in museums, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in ancient books.

General Secretary Xi Jinping exhorted Song Yan and all cultural relic workers: "We must do a good job in the museum business. The construction of the museum must be more complete and systematic, and at the same time, the educational function of the museum must be fully utilized."

  How can the endless historical context be continued?

General Secretary Xi Jinping has thought a lot and hopes that the general public, especially young people, will have more in-depth contact with museums and further enhance their sense of history.

  The depth of history creates the charm of the times.

"Where did we come from? Where are we going? Now that China has reached today, I remind myself all the time that we must have such a sense of history." A passage from the past can be traced back to its origins, and it also runs through the vivid practice of state governance.

  Standing on the fertile soil of history, we look into the future.

The Chinese civilization that has lasted for five thousand years has "shaped our great nation, and this nation will continue to be great."
