If Shanghai is the leading point of the Yangtze River Delta integration and even the Yangtze River economic belt, Pudong Development and opening up is undoubtedly the most important finishing point.

General secretary Xi Jinping has always been very concerned about this hot spot of reform and Innovation: since the eighteen largest party, Pudong has made important instructions and instructions to Pudong every year, and has come to Pudong to investigate and investigate many times. The Central Committee of the CPC has put a series of national strategic tasks in Pudong, so as to promote Pudong's development and opening up and unfold new developments.

Thirty years of age in Pudong New Area, general secretary Xi Jinping visited Pudong again.

For 30 years, the waves are surging.

A piece of land, which accounts for 1/8000 of the country's area, has burst out huge energy in the tide of the times, creating a quarter of the national GDP and a fifth of the total import and export of goods.

"Pudong's remarkable achievements in the past 30 years of development and opening up provide the most vivid practical evidence for the advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and the most vivid practical portrayal for the reform, opening up and socialist modernization drive."

Stand up in thirty and set out.

From now until the middle of this century, it is exactly 30 years since China has been built into a powerful socialist country in an all-round way. On the new journey, the CPC Central Committee has planned Pudong Development in the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the great changes that have not happened in the world in a hundred years, and in the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other

——Strive to strengthen the innovation engine and create a new highland of independent innovation.

——We will strengthen the integration of reform systems and activate new impetus for high-quality development.

——We will further promote high-level institutional opening-up and create new advantages in international cooperation and competition.

——Enhance the ability of global resource allocation, and serve to build a new development pattern.

——Improve the modernization level of urban governance and create a new situation for people's urban construction.

General secretary Xi Jinping hoped that Pudong would seize the opportunity and take the opportunity to seize the opportunity to seize the new development stage, firmly implement the new development concept, serve the new development pattern, and be bold in picking the heaviest burden and chewing the hardest bones, and strive to become a trailbreaker of higher level of reform and opening up, and a practical example of building the "four confidence" of the socialist modern country and the "pioneer of the". Better show the world the Chinese concept, Chinese spirit and Chinese road.

After the celebration, the general secretary came to Pudong exhibition hall to visit "under the guidance of national strategy - the theme exhibition of the 30th anniversary of Pudong Development and opening up".

In the exhibition, a clear "time axis" presents the extraordinary process of Pudong Development and opening up, bringing back people's thoughts 30 years ago.

"At that time, the international situation was changeable and the domestic reform was surging. The decision to develop and open Pudong was a major decision made by the Party Central Committee after comprehensively studying the general situation at home and abroad, conforming to the historical trend and the aspirations of the people."

Pudong has become a modern city in the past 30 years.

From the highest building in the year, the tower of 24 meters high, the first tallest building in China to the second tallest building in the world and the Shanghai Center Tower of 632 meters, the "poor height" of jointing growth has witnessed the city change rapidly.

The first financial and Trade Zone, the first free trade zone, the first pilot free trade zone and Lingang New Area, the first wholly foreign-owned trading company A series of "first in the country" highlights the surging vitality of the reform highland.

The exhibition vividly shows the development miracle of Pudong with a large number of pictures, charts, videos, scenes and objects. The general secretary stops to watch from time to time.

In the exhibition hall, a landscape reflecting the changes of lannidu road in Pudong has attracted the attention of the general secretary. On the one hand, it is the narrow and disordered Lane in lane, and on the other hand, it is the middle road of Yincheng, which has been transformed from the same perspective.

The commentator said: "Pudong people once joked that" when walking through muddy roads, pedestrians don't have good clothes. "Now it has become the core area of Lujiazui financial city.

"It looks completely different. You won't know without comparison. It's a great change!" The general secretary said with emotion.

When leaving the exhibition hall, some cadres and people who were visiting here happily said hello to the general secretary, hoping that the general secretary would "come to see it often.".

"Recently, I come to Shanghai every year. I'm very happy to see the great changes here." General secretary Xi Jinping said, "most of you are middle-aged and above, who are witnesses. They have witnessed how Pudong developed and opened 30 years ago and how 40 years after reform and opening up came. The younger generation should also learn more about this period of history, and realize that socialism is made through hard work and that reform and opening up are made through hard work! "

(2) "Those who share the same desire win"

Nantong, Jiangsu Province, is the last ecological barrier for the Yangtze River to flow into the sea. In the south of the city, there are five mountains, such as Huangni mountain, Ma'anshan mountain, Langshan Mountain, Jianshan mountain and Junshan mountain, which are adjacent to the river.

On the afternoon of 12 July, general secretary Xi Jinping came to the Binjiang area of Wushan area to investigate and investigate. As soon as he got off the bus, the general secretary first asked, "what's the water quality like here?"

"We've reached category two." Local responsible comrades told the general secretary that in the past, small scenic spots, old port areas, broken factory areas and old residential areas along the coastline were intertwined with each other. In recent years, more than 200 scattered sewage enterprises have been shut down, more than 160 small miscellaneous vessels have been cleaned up, the country's largest sulfur import distribution base at that time has been closed, illegal construction around the river has been demolished, the coastline has been restored, and a new one has been built Increase the forest area and gradually build a green corridor along the Yangtze River.

"Are chemical enterprises closed, transferred or upgraded?" "Has the sulfur distribution base really been cancelled?" The general secretary asked in detail.

"Chemical enterprises are closed, sulfur distribution base is determined to cancel, please rest assured."

The general secretary walked slowly along the shoreline of the river. On one side, the waves of the river beat the shore and the reeds swayed. On the other side, the shore was green and the mountains were green and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

"In the past, dirty and poor places have become green belts in parks, which shows that as long as we make up our mind, we will be able to implement the requirements of the development of the Yangtze River economic belt, paying attention to large-scale protection and not large-scale development." General secretary Xi Jinping said.

The general secretary is also very concerned about the work of banning and withdrawing the capture in the Yangtze River.

"Is it under control now?" "How many fishermen quit?" "How can fishermen be resettled after landing?" He asked as he walked.

The local responsible comrades reported to the general secretary: at the end of last year, all 368 Yangtze River fishermen in the city withdrew from fishing in the Yangtze River. The government took various measures to help them change jobs and find jobs again. Some fishermen went ashore and became fishermen protectors. "The people are very supportive of this policy. We all say that if we do not ban fishing, many descendants of fish can only be seen in the photos. Now, there are more and more fish. Just the day before yesterday, there were six finless porpoises here. "

The general secretary nodded his head and affirmed: "the ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River is a strategic measure, mainly to restore the ecology of the Yangtze River. We'll see the results in 10 years. "

The river is sparkling at sunset.

The people who are exercising and relaxing on the shore, when they see the general secretary coming, excitedly gather around and say hello to the general secretary one after another.

"I have been here since 1978, when I climbed Langshan Mountain, I was deeply impressed by the magnificent Yangtze River." The general secretary talked with you about the past more than 40 years ago.

"This morning, I attended the celebration meeting of the 30th anniversary of Pudong Development and opening up in Shanghai, and in the afternoon I came to Nantong. In those days, you were across the river from Shanghai, and Nantong was not easy to connect. Now, a bridge across the river has been built. One bridge will fly north and south, and the natural moat will become a thoroughfare. From then on, Nantong will be easy to connect. " Vivid words, win everyone's warm applause.

Nantong is a vivid portrayal of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. The sky is clear and the distance is over the Yangtze River. The Shanghai Suzhou link Yangtze River Highway and railway bridge, which has just been opened to traffic, can be seen.

The general secretary talked about the original intention of this trip: "this time I'm going to investigate the integrated development of the Yangtze River economic belt and the Yangtze River Delta, and I'm going to take a special look at the environmental improvement here. I have a look today. You are very happy here. This kind of happy life is built by you. "

"Those who share the same desire win.". As long as we work for the interests of the common people, we can win the support of the common people, and we can finally succeed. "

(三)“一江清水向北流”(3) "Clear water flows northward"

Jiangsu Province has many rivers and lakes and dense water network due to its unique natural endowment. The Yangtze River crosses more than 400 kilometers from east to west, and the grand canal runs through more than 700 kilometers from north to south.

As the intersection city of the Yangtze River and the canal, Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times and has accumulated profound cultural heritage. It has become a key node city to promote the development of the Yangtze River economic belt.

On the afternoon of 13 July, general secretary Xi Jinping came to investigate and study the Three Gorges Ecological Culture Park in the south of Yangzhou.

On from November 12th to 13th, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, chairman of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited Jiangsu.

In recent years, Yangzhou has implemented the important directive spirit of general secretary Xi Jinping on "protecting, inheriting and making good use of the Grande Canale", promoting the restoration and protection of the Yangtze River and the canal, and using the canal wetland resources to start the construction of an ecological cultural park of 3800 mu.

Along the hydrophilic walk, general secretary Xi Jinping looked at it. On both sides of the canal, green, birds, pavilions scattered, changing scenery.

Yangzhou was built by water, prospered by water, and beautiful by water. However, both sides of the ancient canal were once trapped by water.

Since the 1950s and 1960s, a large number of pesticide factories, pharmaceutical factories, dyeing and chemical factories and other enterprises have gathered in the Sanwan area of the Grand Canal, causing serious environmental pollution.

"At that time, there was a large-scale chemical plant here, which caused great pollution to the surrounding environment. We could smell it from a distance. Although the enterprise could pay more than 200 million yuan in taxes every year, we decided to close it." Responsible comrades of Yangzhou reported.

Today, it not only relies on the ancient canal site to lay out the intangible cultural heritage blocks, but also has cultural and creative industry zone and scientific and creative industry zone. The Grand Canal Museum is about to open. The economic transformation and upgrading, cultural protection and inheritance, and ecological protection and restoration have produced a superimposed effect here.

The general secretary affirmed the practice of calculating the "overall account" of the economy and society: "the construction of ecological civilization is an important part of the" five in one "overall layout and an important aspect of the new development concept. Doing a good job in ecological civilization is not only related to economic and social development, but also directly related to the people's happiness and the healthy growth of young people. It is the consensus and voice of the broad masses of the people. "

The general secretary of the Yangtze River is to plan for the mutual benefit of the general secretary of the Yangtze River. The general secretary of the Yangtze River is to plan for the harmonious development of the economy, water and human life.

The East Route Project of South to North Water Diversion originated from Yangzhou is not only the new Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal, but also the popular project of the present age.

Leaving the "ancient canal", the general secretary took a bus to the "new canal" and inspected the Jiangdu water control project, the starting point of the East Route of the south to North Water Diversion Project, which was built in 1961.

Taking the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal as the main line, the water of the Yangtze River is pumped and lifted from Yangzhou through one pumping station after another. Taking Hongze Lake, Luoma Lake, Nansi Lake and Dongping Lake as the storage reservoirs, the Yangtze River climbs all the way north to reach the Yellow River, then to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and to Shandong Peninsula.

Jiangdu water control project is the largest power drainage and irrigation project in China and the largest pumping station hub in Asia. At the fourth pumping station, seven high-power pumps were lined up, and the machines roared.

The general secretary walked into the station building. The real-time operation information on the large screen shows that the pumping station has been operating safely for 6007 days, with a total pumping capacity of 78.681 billion cubic meters.

Outside the pumping station, staff are taking water samples and monitoring the water quality.

The staff told the general secretary that before pumping and during the operation of the pump station, they would come twice a week to collect water samples 0.5 meters below the water surface of the water diversion point and monitor various indicators of the water body.

"From your sampling, how is the water quality here?" The general secretary picked up a measuring cup with water sample and examined it carefully.

"The on-site detection has reached the class II standard of surface water." The staff told the general secretary that over the years, the water quality of Jiangdu water control project has all reached or exceeded the class III water standard, and the class II water standard can be reached most of the time.

With a smile on his face, the general secretary said, "we must ensure that a river of clear water flows northward."

In the exhibition hall of Jiangdu water control project, the general secretary has a detailed understanding of the history of water control and rejuvenation in Jianghuai region, as well as the site selection, design, construction and operation of Jiangdu water control project.

The commentator told the general secretary that for half a century, the Jiangdu water control project has played an important role in water diversion, drainage, flood discharge, navigation, power generation and ecological improvement in the Jianghuai region. The masses of Jianghuai region are very proud to say: in ancient times, there was Li Bing's Dujiangyan, and now there is the people's Jiangdu station.

"I am very concerned about the south to North Water Diversion Project. This is a major national event, a century project and a popular project, which is on the same scale as the Three Gorges Project. " The general secretary stressed that "the distribution of water resources in China is short of Nanfeng in the north, so we must adjust it scientifically. We must continue to do this, and play a good role in promoting the balanced and sustainable development of the South and the north."

General secretary Xi Jinping also pointed out that the north area should not be allowed to use water freely because of the diversion project such as the south to North Water Diversion Project, and flood irrigation and flooding, which will not meet the actual city expansion in the region. "The implementation of the south to north water diversion project should be closely combined with water saving in the northern region. The city and industry should be determined by water, and water diversion and water saving should be carried out at the same time."

(4) "Endless Yangtze River rolling in"

Nanjing, an important town in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is one of the mega cities in the Yangtze River Delta.

On the morning of November 14th, general secretary Xi Jinping chaired a forenoon Forum on the development of the Yangtze River economic belt.

On November 14th, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, chairman of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, chaired a symposium on the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and delivered an important speech.

Leading comrades from the relevant departments of the central and state organs and from 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River gathered together. Walking into the conference hall, general secretary Xi Jinping, Kaizong Akiyoshi, "this is the first regional development strategy meeting that I held in charge of the whole party after the fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee."

General secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the development of the Yangtze River economic belt, standing at the height of history and overall situation, starting from the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, and personally planning, personally deploying and personally promoting the high quality development of the Yangtze River economic belt.

In January 2016 and April 2018, general secretary Xi Jinping held a forum on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in Chongqing and Wuhan, and delivered an important speech to promote the development of the Yangtze River economic belt, drawing the grand blueprint for the development of the Yangtze River economic belt.

From Chongqing in the upper reaches to Wuhan in the middle reaches, and then to Nanjing in the lower reaches; from "promotion" to "in-depth promotion", and then to "comprehensive promotion", the top-level planning for the development of the Yangtze River economic belt, a major national regional development strategy, is becoming clearer day by day, and various requirements are being implemented step by step.

At the forum, seven comrades from the central and local governments spoke one after another and reported to the general secretary on the work measures taken in recent years and the preliminary results achieved

We will make solid progress in eight special actions to eliminate five types of poor water quality sections in the whole basin for the first time this year; establish accurate files and cards to find out the number of fishing boats and fishermen, so as to lay a solid foundation for the implementation of the "ten-year fishing ban" on the Yangtze River; accelerate the solution of the problem of "reclaiming the Yangtze River" and strive to build a green ecological corridor on the Yangtze River

Chengdu section of Fuhe River is an important ecological corridor in Tianfu new area, but it was once seriously polluted. From 2015 to 2016, the overall water quality of national control section was inferior to five categories. After treatment, the overall water quality was classified into five categories in 2017 and reached four categories in early 2018.

At the two previous Forum on promoting the development of the Yangtze River economic belt, general secretary Xi Jinping mentioned the pollution problem of Huanglong Valley in Chengdu section of the Fu River, and stressed that it should be overall planning and long-term work.

At this forum, the main responsible comrades of Sichuan provincial Party committee specially reported to the general secretary: "the water quality of Huanglongxi state controlled section has been upgraded to class III."

"It's getting better every year." General secretary Xi Jinping nodded and affirmed.

We all reflected that in the past five years, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have placed the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an overwhelming position, and promoted the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, with unprecedented strength, scale and influence. At the same time, the joint efforts of great protection not only did not affect the speed of development, but also enhanced the supporting and leading role of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in the high-quality development of the national economy.

"The ecological and environmental protection of the Yangtze River economic belt has undergone a turning point, and the economic and social development has made historic achievements, realizing protection in development and development in protection." General secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "this fully demonstrates that the decision of the Party Central Committee is correct. The relationship between ecological environment protection and economic development is not contradictory but dialectical. Only when the background of green development is well laid will there be great progress in future development. "

In the speech, members also said that there are still many problems and new challenges in the great protection of the Yangtze River

"In some places, non-point source pollution such as agricultural planting, breeding and urban initial rainwater has risen to be the main contradiction", "in some places, wetlands are shrinking, water ecosystem is unbalanced, and cyanobacteria bloom in key lakes is high", "water pollution control in small watersheds is relatively lagging behind, and pollutant leakage and over discharge often occur"

"We should be soberly aware that the current achievements are only preliminary and phased, and the leap from quantitative change to qualitative change has not yet been realized. We should have a sense of historical responsibility and be prepared for a protracted war. " General secretary Xi Jinping said.

After listening to your speeches, general secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, put forward five tasks to promote the high quality development of the Yangtze River economic belt, and entrusted the Yangtze River Economic Belt "to write a new chapter of ecological priority green development, to create a new model for regional coordinated development, to build a new high level of opening up to the outside world, and to create new advantages of innovation driven development." It is a new historical mission to become the main battlefield of China's ecological priority green development, unblock the domestic and international double circulation aorta, and lead the main force of high-quality economic development.

Just like the name of this symposium, general secretary Xi Jinping's important speech highlighted the two words of "comprehensive".

To strengthen the protection and restoration of the ecological environment system, general secretary Xi Jinping stressed that we should start from the integrity of the ecosystem and the systematicness of the drainage area, and trace the source and systematic treatment to prevent the headache and the pain. He pointed out, for example, that the overall restoration of the Yangtze River ecosystem is needed to curb the sharp decline of the Yangtze River finless porpoise population.

Talking about promoting the smooth circulation of domestic circulation, general secretary Xi Jinping stressed the importance of adhering to the idea of "whole nation chess" and clearly positioning the development of China in the overall development of the whole country, and exploring effective ways to facilitate the smooth circulation of domestic large-scale cycles. In particular, he stressed that we should not engage in closed internal circulation, let alone small circulation within provinces, cities and counties.

On the promotion of the coordinated development of the upper and lower reaches, general secretary Xi Jinping stressed that we should guide the orderly transfer of capital, technology and labor intensive industries in the downstream areas to the upper and middle reaches, and upgrade industries in the lower reaches of the country.

"To promote the development of the Yangtze River economic belt, we should take out the spiritual realm of" success does not have to be in me "and the historical responsibility of" success must have me ". We should maintain historical patience and strategic determination, draw a blueprint to the end, and do it one after another, so as to ensure that a river of clear water will last for future generations and benefit the people."

At the end of the meeting, general secretary Xi Jinping said with deep affection: "we must uphold the supremacy of the people, as long as the masses are welcome and grinning, and it is hard to go all the way to the end. As long as the people are unhappy and cursing, do not do it!"
