Strive to become a pioneering demonstration area of Chinese-style modernization——General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the construction of Xiongan New Area, the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and hosted a symposium documentary
Four years ago, when General Secretary Xi Jinping investigated the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and presided over a related symposium, he said that in the future, I will come over from time to time to see the situation of your phased work.
Four years later, General Secretary Xi Jinping arrived as promised——
From May 10th to 12th, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to Xiong’an, arrived in Cangzhou, and went to Shijiazhuang to explore construction sites, visit ports, ask people’s livelihood, inspect the construction of Xiong’an New Area and the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and hosted two symposiums , Point out the direction for promoting the construction of Xiongan New Area with high standards and high quality, and further promoting the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
On May 10, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, inspected Xiong’an New Area in Hebei Province and presided over a symposium on promoting the construction of Xiong’an New Area with high standards and high quality.

The vast land of Youyan will open a new chapter of development.
Remain patient
At about 9:40 a.m. on the 10th, the high-speed train that General Secretary Xi Jinping took slowly entered Xiong’an Station.
Six years ago, the General Secretary set off from Beijing and drove more than 100 kilometers to Xiongan for the first time. Six years later, along the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway, the general secretary and his party arrived at Xiongan Station from Beijing West Railway Station in less than an hour.
On December 27, 2020, the entire line of the Beijing-Xiong Intercity Railway was opened for operation, and Xiong’an Station was put into use simultaneously. Due to the adoption of the design concept of “the source of the clear spring, the wind blows the ripples”, the entire Xiongan Station presents a drop-shaped oval shape.

“This drop of water is really not small!” After listening to the introduction of the comrade in charge of the station, the general secretary said with a smile.
A city of the future opens its doors from Xiong’an Station.
As the first major infrastructure project to start construction in the Xiongan New Area, the completion and use of Xiongan Station is of symbolic significance.
At the symposium on promoting the construction of Xiong’an New Area with high standards and high quality held on the afternoon of the 10th, responsible comrades from relevant parties introduced the construction of Xiong’an New Area:
The “four horizontal and ten vertical” backbone road network in the starting area has been fully started. 4 headquarters of central enterprises, 4 colleges and universities, and 2 hospitals have been built one after another. The underground city is speeding up to take shape. .
After listening to everyone’s introduction, General Secretary Xi Jinping said sincerely: “In 2017, I came to Xiong’an for the first time, and stood on a field ridge to unfold the planning map of the new area. In just 6 years, Xiong’an New Area has grown from scratch, from scratch From the blueprint to the real scene, a high-level modern city is rising from the ground, which is a miracle.”
No matter how far you go, you can’t forget why you started.
From the current achievements, when it comes to not forgetting the original intention, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The functional positioning of Xiong’an New Area is first of all to relieve the centralized bearing of Beijing’s non-capital functions. This is the original intention and mission of building Xiong’an New Area.”
How did you decide?
The general secretary recalled: “Seeing that the total population of Beijing will reach the ‘ceiling’ of the city’s carrying capacity within one or two years. The capital is first and foremost a political center, not a ‘hodgepodge’. It cannot ‘run factories in alleys’ or engage in a ‘street-stall economy’.” The Xiong’an New Area was born to relieve Beijing’s non-capital functions, not to simply build a new area or a new city, and this positioning must be clarified.”
On the morning of the 10th, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the core location of the start-up area of Xiongan New Area. Boarding a three-story platform, there is a busy scene of tower cranes in front of you:
The construction of the Xiongan Intercity Station is advancing in an orderly manner. Key supporting projects such as the International Trade Center have sprung up. The octagonal outline of the Sinochem Headquarters Base project has begun to appear. The headquarters building of China Satellite Network Group Co., Ltd. in Xiongan New District has entered a secondary structure construction stage……
Seeing that the planning and construction of major infrastructure projects and key relief projects are progressing smoothly, the general secretary nodded from time to time.
He said earnestly to the on-site builders: “This is a once-in-a-century historical opportunity. You are undertaking important historical tasks. You must work hard!”
At the symposium, they firmly grasped the “neatness” of relieving Beijing’s non-capital functions, and the participants talked about the next step: to accelerate the construction of the first batch of evacuation projects, and push forward the second batch of evacuation projects of central enterprises, universities, and hospitals. Study and plan the third batch of relief work plan.
General Secretary Xi Jinping also put forward a clear request: “You can’t rely on your own likes and dislikes, you have to move when you need it. You can’t engage in ‘paper evacuation’ or ‘returning in disguise’, evacuation in name, and then you go back. Not to mention the establishment of a secondary unit in Beijing, etc. Adding while relieving.”
Focusing on the plan for the millennium, we must not forget the original intention and draw a blueprint to the end, but also maintain patience and work one after another.
During the inspection process, facing the cadres and masses of Xiong’an, General Secretary Xi Jinping sought truth and was pragmatic: “The construction of Xiong’an New District is a millennium project. It takes a long time to achieve success. You can neither be impetuous nor wait for what you want. You must work hard and work hard. .”
At the symposium, facing the comrades in charge of relevant parties, General Secretary Xi Jinping looked far ahead: “The construction of Xiong’an New District is not a matter of a day or two. Projects and plots. It should be moderately advanced, but not too advanced, so as to prevent the completion of projects from being “baked in the sun” and causing waste. Some must be implemented on a large scale, some must be waited for, and some must keep pace with the times, neither can be rushed It can’t be done without doing anything.”
City of People, City of Happiness
During the construction of Xiong’an New District, the general secretary always cared about the people here.
“I came to Xiong’an a few years ago, and I still miss this place. Especially the relocated people, involving hundreds of thousands of people, I want to see how their lives are now.”
More than 5,000 relocated people from Anxin and Rongcheng counties were resettled in Nanwenying Community of Rongdong District. On the morning of the 10th, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to visit everyone.

Walking into the party-mass service center, I saw an old man handling business at the window. The general secretary stepped forward and chatted with him: “How is life now? How much is your income?”
“With my wife, it’s nearly 4,000 yuan a month.”
“What kind of money is this?” the general secretary asked.
“pension.”
“What other income is there?” the general secretary asked.
“I have been a soldier, and I still have some subsidies.”
“Is it enough?” the general secretary asked again.
“It’s enough, I can’t use it enough.” The old man said with a smile, “Now that I have moved into the resettlement house, I don’t have to worry about living here. I can eat as much as I can.”
The general secretary also laughed.
Concerned about the care of the elderly, worrying about basic necessities of life.
Near noon, several elderly people were eating in the community cafeteria. When they saw the general secretary coming, they got up to say hello.
On May 10, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, inspected Xiong’an New Area in Hebei Province and presided over a symposium on promoting the construction of Xiong’an New Area with high standards and high quality.

Braised crucian carp in red, tofu stew, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised eggplant… The general secretary looked at the old man’s dinner plate: “There are so many dishes here!”
The concept of “City of People” outlines the picture of “City of Happiness”.
Community resident Li Jinghe was originally from Xilijiaying Village, Langmatai Town, Rongcheng County. He moved into his new home in November 2021.
The family welcomed General Secretary Xi Jinping into their home. The 140-square-meter big house is spacious and bright, with brand-new and shiny furniture and appliances, and big blessing characters hanging on the wall.
“The conditions of your current house are really good.” The general secretary praised while watching.
“That’s right!” Li Jinghe’s family took out a family photo, “This is a photo of our family in the old house. The house now is much better than the original home.”
The general secretary nodded: “The relocated people in the new area must first settle down. Only when they live in peace can they work happily, and only when they settle down can they develop greatly. There will be many opportunities in the future for the great development of Xiong’an New Area. good.”
Li Jinghe’s daughter Li Zihan is a sophomore in high school this year. She told the General Secretary that after the establishment of the Xiongan New Area, the principals and teachers of middle schools in Beijing came, and now they can enjoy high-quality educational resources at their doorstep.
The general secretary asked: “The college entrance examination is due next year. Do you have any ambitions?”
“I want to study medicine. After graduating from university, I must return to the new district to contribute to my hometown.”
The general secretary gave him an approving look: “Okay! Your generation is the generation that our country enters into modernization and then realizes the great rejuvenation of the nation. Xiong’an will be a model for the whole of China in the future. The starting point is the highest. Young people have passion and nostalgia, and when they come back from their studies, they will benefit their homeland and they will definitely do a great job!”
Before leaving, the residents came to the community square to bid farewell to the general secretary.
Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, General Secretary Xi Jinping said affectionately: “I have worked in Hebei and I have a nostalgic feeling for Hebei. I am very happy to see that the people here live a good life! This is what I had when I was the secretary of the county party committee in Zhengding wish.”
Concerned about the current people’s living and working in peace and contentment, more concerned about the endless life of future generations.
In 1985, Xi Jinping, who was about to leave his post as secretary of the Zhengding County Party Committee, wanted to see Baiyangdian described by the writer Sun Li and featured in the movie “Little Soldier Zhang Ga”.
At the symposium on the afternoon of the 10th, General Secretary Xi Jinping recalled this past event: “I haven’t been to Zhengding for 3 years. We returned to Beijing in a jeep and wanted to visit it. When we passed through Anxin County, we asked the local villagers Ask for directions. The villagers said, don’t look, the water is dry, and there is nothing left. We were all discouraged when we heard it.”
In 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Xiongan and saw Baiyangdian for the first time. He made up his mind: the location of Xiong’an New Area was chosen here to protect Baiyangdian Lake, not to damage Baiyangdian Lake.
When he came to Xiong’an this time, General Secretary Xi Jinping watched the video report and real-time monitoring pictures on the ecological environment management of Baiyangdian Lake at the Xiong’an Convention and Exhibition Center.
On the big screen, the water and the sky are the same color, and a hundred birds are flying together, spreading out a beautiful picture of the city and the lake being interdependent, symbiotic and harmonious.

According to the local responsible comrades, after large-scale systematic ecological management, the water quality of Baiyangdian Lake has been improved from inferior to Class V and maintained at Class III standards, and rare birds such as pochards have begun to breed and raise their young here.
“The construction of Xiong’an New District should not destroy Baiyangdian. The two should complement each other, not compete with each other.” General Secretary Xi Jinping said earnestly, “Now that the ecology of Baiyangdian has been gradually restored, we must take extra care and cherish it so that Baiyangdian can benefit from it for a long time. The people of the New District.”
Collaborative development, innovative development
Over the past 9 years of coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, a heavy report card has been handed over. In 2022, the total economic volume of the three places will exceed 10 trillion yuan.
“Practice has proved that the Party Central Committee’s development strategy for major regions such as Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is in line with the needs of high-quality development in the new era of our country, and it is an effective way to promote Chinese-style modernization.” General Secretary Xi Jinping held an in-depth promotion of Beijing-Tianjin He said at the Symposium on Coordinated Development.
Standing at a new historical starting point, how to promote the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to a new level?
With such thinking in mind, before the symposium, the general secretary went to Cangzhou, Shijiazhuang and other places in Hebei successively to conduct on-the-spot investigations in farmland, ports, scientific research units, and industrial parks, planning top-level design and drawing a grand blueprint from a strategic height.
In early summer, in the Xianzhuang area of the old town of Huanghua City, which belongs to Cangzhou City, the breeze is blowing and the waves of wheat are rolling. Unlike other places, the wheat here is grown in saline-alkali soil.
On the morning of the 11th, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a special trip here to inspect the promotion and industrialization of dry-alkali wheat in the field under the scorching sun.
Cangzhou City is located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, the soil is highly salinized, and there are large areas of medium-low yield fields and saline-alkali wasteland. In recent years, through the cultivation of wheat varieties with strong salt-alkali tolerance and disease resistance, and the improvement of production and cultivation techniques, the saline-alkali land has gradually transformed into a “big granary”.
On the long table beside the field ridge, there are different varieties of dry-alkaline wheat seeds, dried noodles, flour, noodles, whole wheat bread, etc. The general secretary inspected it carefully and asked, “What’s the difference in the taste of pasta made from dry alkali wheat?”
“Compared with ordinary wheat, the pasta processed with dry-alkali wheat has a stronger wheat flavor and chewy texture, which is quite popular,” said the agricultural technician.
The boundless wheat fields are like a green ocean.
The general secretary walked into the field, leaned over to hold a bunch of wheat ears, and asked Yang Dongjin, a farmer who was weeding, how many acres of land he had planted, the yield per mu, and how the wheat was growing.
From May 11th to 12th, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, inspected Hebei and presided over a symposium on further promoting the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

Yang Dongjin told the general secretary that his family planted more than 20 mu of dry-alkali wheat, and the net income last year was more than 6,000 yuan. The weather this year is good, and the production capacity is expected to be four to five hundred catties per mu.
“I wish you a good harvest this year!” The general secretary nodded in affirmation.
Looking at the vast fields, the general secretary thought deeply: “There are 1.5 billion mu of saline-alkali land in the country, of which 500 million mu is suitable for growing grain. If it can be developed and utilized, it will be of great significance to expanding the area of arable land in our country and maintaining national food security.”
In 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to the Yellow River Delta Agricultural High-tech Industry Demonstration Zone in Dongying, Shandong to specifically inspect the cultivation of saline-alkali-tolerant crops.
“Last time I looked at soybeans, and this time I looked at wheat. Comprehensive utilization of saline-alkali land is a strategic issue that must be placed in an important position. In addition to coastal areas in my country, there are large areas of saline-alkali land in the Songnen Plain in Northeast China, the Hetao area of Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang. It is necessary to make further efforts on the basis of the existing achievements, and do a good job in the big article of characteristic agriculture in saline-alkali land.”
Ports are an important engine to promote high-quality economic and social development.
On the afternoon of the 11th, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the wharf of the Huanghua Port Coal Port Area for investigation and research.
Huanghua Port is located on the dome of the Bohai Bay, with a unique geographical location. It is an important hub port for the country’s west-to-east coal transportation and north-to-south coal transportation. If Bohai Bay is compared to a bow and arrow, Huanghua Port is at the handle.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stopped for a long time in front of the port layout map of Hebei Province. According to the comrade in charge of Hebei Province, there are three main coal transportation channels in Hebei Province, Daqin, Shuohuang, and Mengji. They are transferred through the Hebei port and transported a steady stream of “industrial grain” to the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other regions.
“my country’s coal production areas are mainly in the north and west, and consumption is concentrated in the east and south. The long-distance deployment and transportation of coal has always been an important issue. From land transportation to sea transportation, energy ports such as Huanghua Port undertake an important mission.” The general secretary said .
From north to south, Qinhuangdao Port, Jingtang Port, Caofeidian Port and Huanghua Port in Hebei Province line up in sequence, like four pearls on the coastline.
Hearing that Hebei has integrated and reorganized port resources and established Hebei Port Group, which has formed a collective effect of clenching fingers into fists, the general secretary expressed his approval: “It is necessary to integrate scattered resources, unify planning, unify investment and construction, unify operations, and give full play to their different strengths. functional advantage.”
The straight trestle stretches straight into the depths of the sea, and cargo ships pass by with their horns honking from time to time in the harbor. During the conversation, a 50,000-ton coal carrier with the hull number “Shenhua 523” came.
The general secretary pointed to the freighter and asked, “How long does it take to load and unload such a ship?”
“It can be completed within about 24 hours. From the ship loader to the ship unloader, we have achieved full unmanned operation and complete automation.” The staff said proudly.
“Now the port system is getting better and better. The docks are clean, tidy and modern. Unlike the coal docks in the past, coal dust is everywhere, and even the trees are black.” The general secretary said with emotion, “China has rich Coal resources, coal is also an irreplaceable main energy source in my country at present. To promote green development is not to eliminate coal, but to promote the clean utilization of coal.”
The port staff gathered around and greeted the general secretary loudly.
From May 11th to 12th, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, inspected Hebei and presided over a symposium on further promoting the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

The general secretary said kindly to everyone: “The port is an important support for economic development. I hope that you will further develop scientifically and build Huanghua Port into a multi-functional, comprehensive and modern port with strategic significance. Make greater contributions to the construction of new districts and the joint construction of the ‘Belt and Road’.”
As one of the three important power sources leading the country’s high-quality development, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has a large number of high-end research talents, a solid foundation for innovation, and strong strength.
On the morning of the 12th, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected the CETC Industrial Basic Research Institute in Shijiazhuang.
This is an important high-end core electronic device supply base and a new technology innovation base for new semiconductor devices in my country. On the lawn outside the Institute of Chip Technology in the hospital, there is a bright red placard: bravely climb the peak of science and technology.
“When I was working in Zhengding, I knew that this is a very important one in our national scientific research institute. I have heard of its name for a long time!” the general secretary said kindly.
All kinds of chips, electronic components, ceramic package casings… The general secretary carefully watched the exhibits in the exhibition hall, listened carefully to the introduction, and interjected from time to time to ask questions.

When he learned that the products produced by the company have strongly supported the development of various equipment such as manned spaceflight, lunar and Mars exploration, and Beidou networking, as well as the digital economy industry represented by 5G base stations, new energy vehicles, and optical communications, the general secretary praised: “All It is cutting-edge technology, and it is also the most important national weapon for us to achieve technological self-reliance and self-improvement.”
According to the person in charge of the research institute, there are currently more than 4,000 scientific and technical personnel among the more than 6,000 employees, and everyone has a high enthusiasm for starting a business.
“Advancement of modernization depends on science and technology to strengthen the country and industry. A science and technology power is inseparable from the pioneers of science and technology and the phalanx of science and technology.” The general secretary’s words are full of hope, “I hope you will continue to work hard, bravely climb the peak, and continue to conquer cutting-edge technologies. Build more major powers and provide a strong guarantee for the construction of a new development pattern.”
Shijiazhuang International Biomedical Park, located in Shijiazhuang High-tech Industrial Development Zone, also brings together a large number of high-end research talents and innovative enterprises.
The general secretary came to the park and visited the planning exhibition hall. On the booth, various pharmaceutical products developed by enterprises in the park were dazzling.

The biomedical industry is a 100-billion-scale industrial cluster focused on building in Shijiazhuang. It has developed rapidly in recent years and has a number of national top 100 pharmaceutical companies.
“Shijiazhuang has a good foundation for the development of the pharmaceutical industry, and this positioning is relatively good.” The general secretary pointed out that the biomedical industry is a strategic emerging industry that is related to the national economy, the people’s livelihood and national security. It is very important and has great potential. We must strengthen independent innovation and firmly hold the lifeblood of this industry’s development in our own hands.
In the land of Gyeonggi, the grand plan is revived.
“Deeply promoting the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei is a complex systematic project.” At the symposium held on the afternoon of the 12th, General Secretary Xi Jinping placed high hopes on this major national strategy, “promoting the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei to a new level , and strive to make Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei a pioneer area and demonstration area of Chinese-style modernization.”
