  This year's National Two Sessions, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, came to the delegation three times to discuss state affairs with delegates, often talking about his own experiences and feelings.

  Talking about innovation, talking about culture, talking about ecology...the grand narrative of national development is condensed in the "little stories" told one after another. The feelings of China's top leaders about their family and country and their thoughts on governance are clearly presented.

——“Without diamonds, you can’t get the porcelain job.”

  Throughout the ages, generations of skilled craftsmen have created "Craftsman China."

  Facing the female welders from the Jiangsu delegation, Xi Jinping took the transportation industry as an example to review the process of self-reliance in the manufacturing industry since the founding of New China.

New energy vehicles, highway mileage, high-speed rail, large aircraft... Looking back on the past, he was filled with emotion: "I am extremely proud of this thought."

  Talking about industrial development and the craftsmen of great powers, Xi Jinping said: "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. It is not enough to design the drawings well. In the end, it must be implemented in the hands of welders." Without diamonds, you can't get the porcelain job."

  Currently, new productive forces have become a hot political and economic topic in China.

But whether it is a traditional industry or an emerging industry, craftsmen from great countries are indispensable in the historical process of developing new productive forces.

  Should we ignore or abandon traditional industries to develop new productive forces?

"It is necessary to prevent a rush to form a bubble, and do not create a model." Xi Jinping emphasized.

  Looking back on where we came from, we can see that great craftsmen are the cornerstone and pillars of the Chinese nation.

Walk the right path, and "do" and "don't do" are careful thoughts about the future.

——“I have loved visiting museums since I was a child.”

  "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." When participating in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation, Xi Jinping talked about his own experience, recalling the scene when he was riding a bicycle to school as a child. The ancient city wall of Beijing has impressed him to this day. The memory is still fresh.

  Also at the Jiangsu delegation last year, Xi Jinping proposed the important proposition of "humanistic economics."

How to move the collection of cultural relics from the "library world" to the "big world"?

How to promote humanities and economy to complement and complement each other?

This is a heavy mission.

  A museum is a big school.

The museum carries historical memories and is a bridge connecting the past, present and future.

  During this review, Xi Jinping urged the majority of 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."

  Know the smallest details.

Starting from the museum, behind it is a deep consideration of the continuous historical context - "Where do we come from? Where are we going?" Xi Jinping has thought a lot and hopes that the general public, especially young people, will have more in-depth contact with museums to further enhance Sense of history.

——"We must see that we are moving forward"

  When Beijing hosted the APEC meeting in 2014, the weather was very good during those days.

"Some people asked at that time, this is 'APEC blue', can it last? I answered them, this is not a temporary blue sky, it will be permanent blue in a few years." Xi Jinping talked about these when attending the joint meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Years of ecological environment management, recalling this past event.

  Having a beautiful home with blue sky, green ground and clean water is people's simple expectation and it is also the focus of China's policy.

When talking about the topic of environmental protection, Xi Jinping particularly recalled the city of Beijing when he was a child: "There were often sandstorms. In the spring, I wore a mask and took off a layer of dust. When I went out for a day, there was a layer of soil on the ground at home. It was not PM2.5 at that time, it was PM250!" "

  These words made the scene burst into laughter.

  From history to reality, from enduring "PM250" to preventing and controlling "PM2.5", from the effectiveness of air pollution control to the methodology of environmental governance, Xi Jinping emphasized: "We should take a broad view of the scenery. Don't just criticize or point fingers. It’s about taking real action to solve one problem at a time.”

  "As long as you see that we are moving forward, we must stay focused." This is the solution to ecological and environmental problems, and it is also China's attitude toward the future.
