　　Hunan is a major manufacturing province. The province has built four national-level advanced manufacturing clusters, including Changsha Engineering Machinery, Zhuzhou Rail Transit Equipment, Changsha New Generation Autonomous Safety Computing System, and Zhuzhou Small and Medium-sized Aviation Engines. Their number ranks third in the country and first in the Midwest.

　　The General Secretary has been paying attention to the development of Hunan's advanced manufacturing industry. During his last inspection trip to Hunan, the General Secretary came to Sunward Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. in the rain.

　　How to carry out high-level opening up?

　　Creating a “highland for reform and opening up in inland areas” is an important mission given to Hunan. The general secretary gave guidance based on Hunan's actual situation: Hunan should deeply integrate into the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", steadily expand institutional opening up, build a high-standard free trade pilot zone, and strive to build a pioneer zone for in-depth economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa.

　　During this trip to Hunan, the General Secretary also declared to the world China's openness. BASF Shanshan is a Sino-German joint venture. During an inspection of this company, the General Secretary said that China's door of opening up will open wider and wider. We are willing to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with other countries around the world and welcome more foreign companies to invest and develop in China.

Food and Governance

　　"If you have food in your hands, you won't panic in your heart." "If the foundation is not strong, the ground will shake." Food security and grassroots governance are both major issues related to stability.

　　Let’s look at the food first. Hunan is a major agricultural and grain-producing province. As one of the 13 major grain-producing provinces in the country, Hunan ranks first in the country in terms of rice sown area and total output. Hybrid rice has gone from the experimental fields here to the whole country.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping has always paid attention to Hunan, the “granary” and “rice barn”. During the National Two Sessions in 2016, when he participated in the deliberation of the Hunan delegation, he said, "Ensuring food security has always been the top priority for the national economy and people's livelihood. We must study and improve food security policies, take production capacity construction as the foundation, and realize the goal of storing food in the ground and storing food in places. Skills."

　　During this year's trip to Hunan, the General Secretary came to Gangzhongping Village, Xiejiapu Town, Dingcheng District, Changde City. One of the key points is to pay attention to preparations for spring plowing.

　　In Hong Kong Zhongping Village, the General Secretary pointed out that our country has a population of more than 1.4 billion, and food security must be guaranteed by ourselves. Chinese people’s rice bowls should mainly contain Chinese food. He pointed out, “Preparing for spring plowing is crucial to ensuring high grain yield and food security.”

　　Back in Changsha, the General Secretary once again emphasized at the report meeting on March 21 that Hunan must shoulder the important task of maintaining national food security, seize the two key points of seeds and cultivated land, and accelerate the research on key core technologies in the seed industry and agricultural machinery.

　　Let’s talk about grassroots governance.

　　During his last inspection trip to Hunan, an important agenda of the General Secretary was to host a symposium of grassroots representatives to listen to the opinions and suggestions of grassroots cadres and mass representatives on the preparation of the "14th Five-Year Plan".

　　The general secretary pointed out at the meeting that only by strengthening grassroots party organizations and consolidating grassroots political power can the foundation of socialism with Chinese characteristics be solid. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, greater efforts must be made to strengthen basic work at the grassroots level and improve grassroots governance capabilities.

　　During this trip to Hunan, the General Secretary once again visited the grassroots and talked about governance.

　　In Gangzhongping Village, the general secretary went to the village party and mass service center to inspect the situation of reducing the burden on rural grassroots and improving the efficiency of grassroots governance. He pointed out that we must resolutely rectify the problems of formalism and bureaucracy, streamline our troops and streamline our administration, and persevere in this work.

　　At the report meeting on March 21, the General Secretary emphasized the need to improve the grassroots governance system that combines autonomy, rule of law, and rule of virtue under the leadership of party organizations, and uphold and develop the "Maple Bridge Experience" in the new era.

Education and Talent

　　In the Yuelu Academy of Hunan University, there is a couplet hanging: "Only Chu has talents, and here it is prosperous."

　　In September 2020, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Yuelu Academy, he interpreted "Yu Si is prosperous" from two dimensions: First, it refers to the generation of talented people in Hunan and Hunan, and the emergence of many talents who serve the motherland. "Si" also refers to this era. The general secretary said, "The new era is an era in which heroes emerge in large numbers, and young people are at the right time."

　　The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China divided "education, science and technology, and talents" into separate chapters, emphasizing that these three are the basic and strategic support for comprehensively building a modern socialist country.

　　△Hunan First Normal University (Chengnan Academy Campus). (Photographed by CCTV reporters Qin Si and Guo Xiaolong)

　　On the first stop of this trip to Hunan, the General Secretary came to Hunan First Normal College (Chengnan Academy Campus). This is a survey that focuses on the “big” perspective.

　　Being in this well-known university that has trained a group of revolutionary predecessors and famous teachers, facing the eager eyes of teacher and student representatives of the new era, the General Secretary clearly pointed out that in order for the country to be strong, it must provide good education. He said, “Schools must build up moral character and cultivate people, and teachers must be good college teachers. They must not only focus on improving students’ knowledge and cultural literacy, but also teach ideological and political courses well, educate and guide students to understand their morality and shame, and establish core socialist values. We have the great ambition to serve the country and strengthen it, and strive to become a pillar worthy of the task of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation."

　　"We must make good use of the 'big ideological and political course'." The day when the General Secretary visited the Hunan First Division for inspection happened to be the fifth anniversary of the day when he chaired a symposium for teachers of the school's ideological and political theory courses and delivered an important speech. To solve the fundamental problem of who to train, how to train people, and for whom to train, the General Secretary has always thought carefully about it, discerned it clearly, and practiced it diligently.

　　In the land of Sanxiang, there must be fragrant grass within ten steps.

　　During an inspection trip to Hunan in 2020, the General Secretary said emotionally that Hunan is a red hot land where a large number of Communists wrote heroic songs that moved the world. It is necessary to educate and guide party members and cadres to carry forward the revolutionary tradition and inherit the red gene.

　　Returning to Hunan this year, the General Secretary pointed out that it is necessary to protect and make good use of red resources, strengthen revolutionary tradition and patriotism education, guide the cadres and the masses to carry forward the fine traditions, continue the red blood, practice the core socialist values, and cultivate new trends of the times. appearance.

culture and economy

　　"Suzhou has done a good job in combining tradition and modernity. It not only has historical and cultural inheritance, but also has high-tech innovation and high-quality development, which represents the future development direction." In July last year, during an inspection of the Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District in Suzhou, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s words are thought-provoking.

　　Hunan is a cultural province that has given birth to Hunan culture that is pragmatic, eclectic, concerned about the world, and daring to be the first. During this inspection in Hunan, the General Secretary repeatedly talked about the integration of culture and economy, pointing out the direction for the symbiosis and co-prosperity of humanities and economy.

　　Changde River Street, located on the bank of the Yuanjiang River, has a long history, but it was unfortunately destroyed by the war. In recent years, Changde has restored the style of Laohe Street and has become an important cultural display window. The old street is revitalized and there are an endless stream of tourists.

　　During an inspection at Changde River Street, the general secretary pointed out that the colorful traditional culture with local characteristics together constitute the splendid Chinese civilization and also promote economic and social development.

　　If Changde River Street is a place where tradition and modernity blend, then the Malanshan Video Cultural and Creative Industrial Park located on the banks of Liuyang River is a park where culture and technology meet. In September 2020, during a survey here, the General Secretary said, "The integration of culture and technology has not only given birth to new cultural formats, extended the cultural industry chain, and gathered a large number of innovative talents. It is a sunrise industry with great future."

　　In the book "Zhijiang Xinyu", the General Secretary once profoundly explained the concept of "cultural economy": "The so-called cultural economy is a collective term for cultural economicization and economic culturalization. Its essence is the interaction and integration of culture and economy. develop."

　　During this trip to Hunan, the General Secretary proposed two important "integration propositions."

　　The first is to explore effective mechanisms for the integration of culture and technology, accelerate the development of new cultural formats, and form more new growth points for the cultural industry. The second is to promote the deep integration of culture and tourism, protect the green mountains, green waters, blue sky and pure land of Sanxiang, and transform the natural scenery and humanistic customs into the lasting charm of the tourism industry.

　　On March 21, when listening to the work report of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, the general secretary’s words were a hammer blow. He said that Hunan should better shoulder its new cultural mission and show new achievements in building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

　　On September 17, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping said at a symposium of grassroots representatives held in Changsha: “In a country like ours with a population of 1.4 billion, everyone can gather an overwhelming force with their own efforts. If an individual accomplishes one thing and does a good job, the cause of the party and the country can move forward."

　　This trip to Hunan is the first domestic inspection carried out by the General Secretary after the National Two Sessions. The blueprint has been drawn, the key lies in implementation. During the Spring Equinox, we keep walking, conveying the spirit of hard work and perseverance: "We must seize every favorable opportunity, make use of all favorable conditions, work hard when we see the right one, and bring up the energy in all aspects."
