The Yellow River falls into the sky and walks along the East China Sea, thousands of miles written into my mind. In from October 20th to 21st, general secretary Xi Jinping went deep into the the Yellow River estuary and other places in Dongying, Shandong, to understand the ecological protection and high quality development of the the Yellow River basin, and stressed the importance of promoting the great protection of the Yellow River and ensuring the safety of the Yellow River. Since the eighteen Party Congress, the Central Committee of the CPC, with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, has made the ecological protection and high quality development of the the Yellow River River Basin as a major event concerning the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping has made many in-depth visits to the provinces along the Yellow River, pointing out the direction for the protection and governance of the Yellow River in the new era and the transformation and development of the provinces in the region. Draw a blueprint for the major national strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. River soup, the sun and moon rotate. Today, the protection and development of the ancient Yellow River is entering a new historical realm and opening a new chapter in history. As the "green" of the river, the ecological health of the mother river continues to improve Early in the morning, the fog is dense on Maqu grassland in Gansu Province. Unlike the majestic middle and lower reaches, the Yellow River is beautiful here. Maqu is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Maqu wetland is known as the "kidney of the Yellow River". Once upon a time, plagued by grassland desertification, large black soil beaches were exposed along the Yellow River, just like scars on the grassland. In August 2019, when general secretary Xi Jinping visited Gansu, he heard the introduction of the Yellow River's governance and protection in Gansu and Lanzhou. He pointed out that Gansu is an important water conservation and supply area in the Yellow River Basin. It should first shoulder the important tasks of ecological restoration, soil and water conservation and pollution control in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Lanzhou should take the lead in maintaining the health of the Yellow River. To harness the Yellow River, we should focus on protection and governance. "I have always been concerned about the ecological protection and high quality development of the the Yellow River River Basin. I came here today, along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River." in the afternoon of October 20th, Xi Jinping came to the Yellow River to enter the mouth of the sea. The general secretary has visited and investigated the Yellow River for many times. The general secretary's footprints are all over the upper, middle and lower reaches and nine provinces and regions in the river basin, guiding and making arrangements for the protection and governance of the Yellow River. In recent years, Gansu has made continuous efforts based on the strategic positioning of the national important ecological security barrier, the important water conservation area in the Yellow River Basin and the leading area for high-quality development in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Maqu grassland has changed its appearance. The vegetation coverage of heitutan degraded grassland in Gannan Tibetan autonomous prefecture where the grassland is located has increased from 65% to more than 85%. Once devastated along the Yellow sandy belt, it is now full of green and flowers. The change of Maqu grassland is the epitome of the remarkable achievements in the governance of the Yellow River and the sustainable improvement of the ecological health of the basin. In late summer and early autumn, riding along the Henan section of the Yellow River, the hundreds of kilometers of ecological corridor is like a green ribbon. Foreign tourists take out their cameras and "punch in". Many rare animals that have been in "ecological exile" for many years frequently appear in the wetland along the Yellow River to attract the attention of tourists. On the coast of the Bohai Sea and in the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve at the intersection of rivers and seas, due to ecological water replenishment, protection and management, the wetland area has picked up year by year and the biodiversity has increased significantly. In the past, the river mouth was frequently cut off and dried up. Now there are abundant forests, lush grass and chirping birds. According to the latest data of the Ministry of water resources, by the end of 2020, the Yellow River Basin has completed preliminary control of soil and water loss, covering an area of more than 250000 square kilometers; Compared with 1990, the area of water and soil loss decreased by 48%, and the area of strong and above erosion intensity decreased by 83%, realizing the "double decline" of water and soil loss area and intensity. At the same time, the ecological flow of 15 sections of the main stream of the Yellow River and 6 tributaries reached the standard, and the water resources guarantee capacity of the basin was further improved. The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and flows to the sea. Today, the vibrant mother river is like a giant dragon, surging and jumping to the East. With the "prosperity" of rivers, the transformation and development of river basins has entered a new stage In the golden autumn, rows of dark blue photovoltaic panels shine in the sun in the photovoltaic power generation park on Talatan, Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. In recent years, based on the strategic positioning of the national clean energy demonstration Province, Qinghai has taken solid steps on the road of energy transformation and green development. The Yellow River Basin is an important economic zone in China and an important agricultural and animal husbandry production base and energy base in China. For the high quality development of the provinces and autonomous regions, general secretary Xi Jinping has both high hopes and hard work. In March 2021, general secretary Xi Jinping attended the thirteen session of the four session of the National People's Congress, the Qinghai delegation deliberated, stressed that all regions should combine the actual situation, adjust measures to local conditions, develop strengths and weaknesses, and walk out of the high quality development road suitable for the local region. You can enjoy a grander sight by climbing to a greater height. With the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin becoming a major national strategy, under the new direction and new requirements, the top-level design around the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin has been released successively: on October 5, 2020, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the outline of the plan for ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin; On October 8, 2021, the Yellow River Protection Law of the people's Republic of China (Draft) was adopted at the executive meeting of the State Council From the source of the three rivers to the coast of the Bohai Sea, from the upper, middle and lower reaches to the left and right banks, "adhere to ecological priority and green development, determine and measure water according to local conditions, implement policies by classification", "take water resources as the greatest rigid constraint" and "actively explore new ways of high-quality development with regional characteristics" ... a series of principles and requirements for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin are taking root. With the help of the world's first ultra-high voltage transmission line for long-distance and 100% transmission of renewable energy, the "green power" produced in Qinghai will eventually flow into Henan power grid. According to the calculation of Henan electric power department, after the Qinghai Henan ± 800 kV HVDC project runs at full load, Qinghai can transmit 40 billion kwh of "green power" to Henan every year, accounting for about 1 / 8 of Henan's annual power consumption, which has greatly promoted the transformation and upgrading of the central Plains. From Qinghai to Henan, "one silver thread has two ends", which is just a vivid footnote for the current economic and social transformation and development of the Yellow River basin to enter a new stage. In the "Yellow River Chorus" of transformation and development in the new era, each province and region in the basin is unwilling to fall behind. —— In Shanxi, in the first half of 2021, the growth rates of investment, consumption, import and export ranked sixth, fourth and third in China, with strong growth of new kinetic energy and significant improvement in development quality and efficiency. —— In Shandong, in the first half of 2021, the economic investment in "new technology, new industry, new business form and new model" increased by 17%, accounting for 49.9% of the total investment, with a year-on-year increase of 2.3 percentage points, and the industrial upgrading continued. —— In Shaanxi, one belt, one road in 2020, was launched in 2020. The 3720 row is 1.7 times the previous year. The indicators of quality of running a company are ranked the highest in the country. …… According to the latest data of the Yellow River Water Resources Commission, in 2020, the water consumption of 10000 yuan of GDP, 10000 yuan of industrial added value and average irrigation water consumption per mu in the basin decreased by 3.4%, 9.3% and 8.8% respectively compared with 2019. The results of promoting the economical and intensive utilization of water resources were obvious. Now, general secretary Xi Jinping put forward the idea of "setting water by water, setting water with water, setting water with water, making water production". It is turning into a conscious action for economic and social development along the Yellow River. A new scroll of transformation and development is slowly opening up, and the background of green, innovative and open is becoming more and more concentrated. The "safety" of the river has written a new chapter in the cause of the people's governance of the Yellow River Zhangzhuang village, Dongbatou Township, Lankao County, Henan Province, is located at the last bend of the nine turns and eighteen turns of the Yellow River. The villagers have always had an expectation: "I really hope the general secretary will come back to Lankao again." During the Spring Festival in 2014, general secretary Xi Jinping came to Lankao on the side of the Yellow River and visited the villagers' home. He urged local cadres to care about every family in the countryside, especially the poor families. Due to historical and natural conditions, the economic and social development of the Yellow River Basin lags behind. Previously, five of the 14 concentrated and contiguous poverty-stricken areas in China were involved here, which is an important area to win the battle against poverty. General secretary Xi Jinping has always been worried about this, from the six Panshan mountains located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, to the poverty-stricken areas, and to the LV Liangshan concentrated contiguous poverty-stricken areas across the Yellow River. Under the continuous struggle of the cadres and the masses, Lankao, which was once affected by the "three evils" of wind and sand, salt and alkali and waterlogging left by the breach and diversion of the Yellow River, has long realized the "butterfly change" of poverty alleviation. Relying on the support of rural tourism, livestock and poultry breeding and other industries, the per capita annual income of Zhangzhuang has increased from about 3000 yuan at the end of 2013 to 15000 yuan now. To commemorate getting rid of poverty, the main road in the village was named "happy road". "The Yellow River is peaceful and the world is flat." From the end of September to early October this year, the Yellow River encountered a rare autumn flood in history. However, thanks to the solid protection of embankments and reservoirs, as well as the effective response of watershed institutions, Zhangzhuang's fertile land is safe and sound. Experts on the control of the Yellow River pointed out that the people's control of the Yellow River for more than 70 years has solved the problem of whether there is water conservancy guarantee in the river basin, and realized the transformation from passive control to active control; With the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin becoming a major national strategy, solving the problem of "good or bad" water conservancy guarantee has become a new proposition of the times. "Let the Yellow River become a happy river for the benefit of the people" is the ardent expectation of general secretary Xi Jinping. It is also the responsibility mission of all provinces and autonomous regions in the Yellow River to carry out ecological protection and management, and promote the high quality development of economy and society. Following the Zhengzhou forum held more than two years ago, general secretary Xi Jinping hosted a forum on the ecological protection and high quality development of the the Yellow River River Basin and delivered an important speech in Ji'nan, Shandong, on the afternoon of October 22nd. He stressed the need to scientifically analyze the current situation of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, grasp the major issues of promoting ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, set goals, be down-to-earth, work hard and work for a long time, so as to ensure remarkable results in ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin during the 14th Five Year Plan period, Make unremitting efforts for the benefit of the Yellow River to the Chinese nation forever. The river flows eastward. Today, the people's cause of harnessing the Yellow River is entering a new historical realm and opening a new chapter in history; The surging mother river for thousands of years, together with hundreds of millions of people in the basin, is witnessing an unprecedented new era.
