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. They 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 light of Marxist truth.

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 cartoons + text reading" to help you understand the charm of General Secretary Xi Jinping's language from different dimensions.

　　In March, new greenery begins to bloom, and the 46th Arbor Day has arrived as scheduled. It has been more than 40 years since my country has launched a nationwide voluntary tree planting movement.

　　Politics requires permanence, and governance must be constant.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has planted trees every spring with people from all walks of life in the capital, vigorously advocating afforestation and a sense of responsibility for greening the motherland.

　　On March 29, 2017, when participating in the voluntary tree planting activities in the capital, the General Secretary emphasized: "Afforestation not only plants green saplings, but also the bright future of the motherland. It is necessary to organize the whole society, especially the youth, to get close to each other through participating in tree planting activities. Nature, understanding nature, protecting nature, cultivating the ecological awareness of loving nature and cherishing life, learning and experiencing the concept of green development, afforestation and greening is a cause that contributes to the present and will benefit the future. It must be done year after year, generation after generation. Roll up your sleeves and work hard.”

　　The general secretary’s warm words flowed in the hearts of “little saplings”.

Today's young people will be the pillars of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation when they grow up.

Planting trees not only plants green saplings, but also plants a bright future for the motherland.

　　The General Secretary compared green saplings with energetic teenagers, highlighting the characteristics that both require careful cultivation.

Watering the saplings is actually cultivating ecological awareness and concepts for young people, which is to cultivate the younger generation.

　　The general secretary explained the importance of leading the younger generation to attach importance to the construction of ecological civilization through a progressive logic.

In the process of careful cultivation, small saplings will eventually grow into towering trees, and young people will thrive and become pillars of the country. The two "seedlings" complement each other and together form a beautiful picture of the future.

　　Afterwards, the General Secretary emphasized the important role of practicing the concept of green development and planting green awareness into the hearts of the next generation. He pointed out that "it is necessary to organize the whole society, especially the majority of young people, to participate in tree planting activities" and "to do it year after year, one generation after another." "One generation to work, roll up your sleeves and work harder" and other implementation paths to achieve the goals of "cultivating an ecological awareness that loves nature and cherishes life" and "learning and experiencing the concept of green development".

　　Promoting sowing the seeds of ecological civilization in the whole society, especially in the hearts of young people, is an important starting point to accelerate the construction of ecological civilization.

　　As the General Secretary said to the students at the tree planting event in 2023: "When you become parents, you must also let your children and grandchildren continue to plant trees, and do it from generation to generation. This is how beautiful China is built."

　　Migrating wood is faith, and it yields fruitful results.

Under the guidance of Xi Jinping’s Thought on Ecological Civilization, my country has made historic achievements in afforestation, and a beautiful new picture of green and beautiful China is slowly unfolding.

　　Since the new era, our country has insisted on driving the development of land greening through large-scale projects. Major projects such as natural forest protection, returning farmland to forests and grasslands, and the Three-North Shelterbelt have been vigorously promoted, and the total quantity and quality of afforestation have gone hand in hand.

Persisting in coordinating urban and rural greening, we have not only built a large number of national forest cities and forest villages, but also built a large number of “pocket parks” and urban greenways.

In the ten years of the new era, the country has completed afforestation of 1.02 billion acres, and the area of ​​artificial forests ranks first in the world.

　　On September 22, 2020, China promised the world a timetable to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

At the Climate Ambition Summit held more than two months later, President Xi Jinping further announced: “By 2030, China’s carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP will fall by more than 65% compared to 2005,” and “the amount of forest stock will increase compared to 2005.” 6 billion cubic meters”.

　　It is advisable to take a broad view of the scenery.

On March 6, while visiting the members of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, the science and technology circles, and the environmental resources circles who attended the second session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and participating in the joint group meeting, when talking about the topic of ecological and environmental governance, the General Secretary bluntly said, “Don’t just be there. Criticize and point fingers, but actually take action.”

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary has participated in voluntary tree planting activities for eleven consecutive years, fulfilling his green commitment and leading the construction of a beautiful China.
