Xi Jinping: carrying forward the spirit of enjoying the cool of generations after planting trees

Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, chairman of the State Council and chairman of the Central Military Commission, stressed that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation depends on the joint efforts of all the Chinese people when he participated in the voluntary tree planting activities in the capital on the morning of the 5th. The 13th Five-Year Plan period is not only the decisive stage for building a well-off society in an all-round way, but also an important period for the construction of ecological civilization. Developing forestry is an important part of building a well-off society in an all-round way and an important measure for the construction of ecological civilization. Leading cadres at all levels should take the lead in voluntary tree planting, publicize the new development concept in the whole society, carry forward the spirit of planting trees by predecessors and taking advantage of the cool by future generations, plant and manage trees in a variety of ways so as to make the land green and the people's living environment beautiful.

When the grass flies, the spring is strong, and it is a good time for afforestation. At about 9:30 a.m., Party and state leaders Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, Zhang Dejiang, Yu Zhengsheng, Liu Yunshan, Wang Qishan, Zhang Gaoli and other collective buses arrived at the tree planting site in Xihongmen Town, Daxing District, Beijing.

This is an open area with an area of nearly 250 mu. In recent years, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping as its general secretary, has put forward a major national strategy to promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, which calls for an orderly relaxation of Beijing's non-capital functions, and adjustment of its economic and spatial structure. According to this requirement, Beijing dredged the low-end industries in the plot, planned to rebuild it into an open-style belt park and incorporated it into the second greening and isolation area of Beijing.

As soon as he got off, Xi Jinping picked up the spade and went to the tree planting place. The cadres and masses who are planting trees here see the general secretary coming. They are very excited and applauded. Xi Jinping waved his hand to all of us, and then, together with the responsible comrades of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Forestry and State Forestry Bureau as well as the cadres and masses of the capital, volunteers and young pioneers, shoveled earth and watered the cofferdams.

Pinus bungeana, Pinus tabulaeformis, ginkgo, elm leaf, Acer truncatum... Xi Jinping planted 6 seedlings. While working, he talked with the young pioneers around him, asking them about their study and life. He told them not only to study hard, but also to love work and exercise. He hoped that they would cultivate the consciousness of cherishing the environment and nature by participating in voluntary tree planting. Xi Jinping said, ten years of trees, a hundred years. Ten years from now, twenty years from now, you can go back to this place and see how the seedlings you planted yourself grow. This is a very meaningful thing.

Leading comrades who took part in labor helped nursery seedlings to cultivate soil, carried buckets to water, and exchanged views with the cadres and masses around them from time to time on strengthening ecological protection and upholding green development.

During planting trees, Xi Jinping talked about afforestation and afforestation work with the cadres and masses participating in tree planting. He pointed out that 60 years ago, Comrade Mao Zedong issued a great call for "greening the motherland"; 35 years ago, on the proposal of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the National People's Congress made a "resolution on carrying out the national voluntary tree planting movement". For a long time, with the extensive participation and active action of the people of all ethnic groups in China, China's forest resources have been growing steadily, becoming the fastest growing country in the world since the new century.

Xi Jinping stressed that from the 18th National Congress of the Party to the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, including the "13th Five-Year Plan" adopted this year, all stressed the need to strengthen the construction of ecological civilization. Now, the construction of ecological civilization has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Voluntary tree planting is an important activity for the whole people to participate in the construction of ecological civilization. We should not only do a good job in voluntary tree planting by the whole people, but also do a good job in the construction of ecological civilization and mobilize the whole society to participate.

Xi Jinping pointed out that building a green home is a common dream of mankind. We should make efforts to promote land greening and build beautiful China, and we should cooperate with other multilateral cooperation mechanisms such as "one way, one way" construction, and help each other to carry out afforestation, jointly improve the environment, actively respond to global ecological challenges such as climate change, and make due contributions to safeguarding global ecological security.

Members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and State Councilors participated in voluntary tree planting activities in the capital.
