To promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we must consider the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, put the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an overwhelming position, jointly grasp large-scale protection and not large-scale development, and explore a new path of ecological priority and green development.
——On April 26, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on in-depth promotion of the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in Wuhan and delivered an important speech.
The Yangtze River is a river of life that stretches for eternity, and it is the mother river of the Chinese nation that General Secretary Xi Jinping is deeply concerned about.
Hubei Province is located at the "waist of the Yangtze River", the water source area of the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the location of the Three Gorges Dam area, which not only shoulders the important mission of ensuring that "one reservoir of clean water is sent to the north and one river of clean water flows eastward", but also bears the glorious responsibility of standing up the backbone of the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
In April 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Hubei and inspected the Yangtze River on the bank of the Yangtze River to check the pulse of the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and guide the direction.
Over the past six years, Jingchu Dadi, which shoulders the heavy responsibility, has kept in mind the entrustment, taken the comprehensive management of the river basin as the starting point, and profoundly answered the necessary questions of the times to promote the protection of the Yangtze River and promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
01
Promote a high level of protection
A new picture has been drawn for river basin governance
In the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we should jointly grasp the large-scale protection and not carry out large-scale development, not to say that there should be no large-scale development, but first to establish a rule, put the ecological restoration of the Yangtze River in the first place, protect the mother river of the Chinese nation, and not engage in destructive development.
——On April 24, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection of Yichang Xingfa Group.

Standing along the Yangtze River in Yichang Yiting District, as far as the eye can see, the landscape belt along the river with clear water and green water, and about 1 kilometer long along the river, has been integrated into the Yichang New Material Industrial Park of Xingfa Group. In the industrial park, on a bronze circular landmark by the river, "2018.4.24" several significant numbers record the beginning of a major transformation.
▲Yichang Xingfa Group New Material Industrial Park
On April 24, 2018, the first stop of General Secretary Xi Jinping's inspection in Hubei was the Xingfa Group New Material Industrial Park, where the rules for the protection of the Yangtze River were established.
"We have always kept in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's entrustment, taken the road of ecological priority and green development, and handed over high-score answers with clear figures. Li Shaoping, a member of the Party Committee of Yichang Xingfa Group Co., Ltd., said.
In the past six years, Xingfa Group's industrial structure has been moving towards green, refined and high-end, and the newly developed black phosphorus products have been sold for 5,000 yuan per gram, which is ten times that of gold. In 2023, the sales revenue will be 60.5 billion yuan and the profit will be 1.358 billion yuan, which are 1.59 times and 1.78 times that of five years ago, respectively.
Nowadays, the chemical enterprises along the north bank of Yichang have disappeared, and once again look at the river, the south bank of the Yangtze River, the new quality productivity boom is surging, and the largest computing power cluster in Hubei is rising.

Xingfa Group's "green transformation" is a microcosm of Hubei's insistence on high-level protection of the ecological environment. At present, Hubei is actively promoting the protection of the Yangtze River with the comprehensive management of the river basin as the key link.
Since 2023, Hubei has fully implemented the comprehensive management and overall development plan of the river basin, and resolutely adhered to the bottom line of ecological security. Among them, five pilot projects for the comprehensive treatment of small watersheds such as Shiyan Maota River and Enshi Daishui River will be promoted. Shiyan City adheres to the equal emphasis on protection and development, implements the "Ten Tough Points" action for water control, 100% of the 27 state-controlled sections meet the standard, and the comprehensive management of small watersheds has been effective, and has been selected as a national carbon peak pilot city and a pilot city for creating a national ecological product value realization mechanism.

From the Jianghan Plain to the vast forests, from the Dabie Mountains to the Wuling Mountains, the work pattern of provinces, cities and counties to promote the comprehensive management of the river basin has been formed.

Focus on high-quality development
Technology empowers the new
The core technology with independent intellectual property rights is the "lifeline" of the enterprise. Enterprises must continue to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies, master more key technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and control the leading power of industrial development.
——On April 26, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection of Wuhan Fiberhome Technology Group.
A chip the size of a coin is like a "fiery eye", which can detect farther and more precisely. What's even more amazing is that its cost can be reduced to 1% of traditional SWIR imaging technology!
Hubei Optics Valley Laboratory recently came to the good news, its joint Huazhong University of Science and Technology research team research and development of a series of colloidal quantum dot imaging chips to achieve short-wave infrared imaging, has completed the pilot test, superior performance, very low cost, is expected to subvert the traditional market.
▲Series colloidal quantum dot imaging chips
Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new. This is a microcosm of Hubei's new development in the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has inspected Optics Valley three times and made important instructions on scientific and technological innovation.
In July 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Hubei, and he pointed out in Optics Valley: "We are a big country, and we must have our own things in scientific and technological innovation."
In April 2018, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Optics Valley again, he pointed out that "the core technology with independent intellectual property rights is the lifeblood of the enterprise", and "the country needs you to speed up the pace in this regard".
In June 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Optics Valley for the third time, and he pointed out: "We must firmly grasp the lifeblood of science and technology in our own hands and make greater progress in scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance."
▲China Optics Valley
Hubei has thoroughly studied and implemented the important instructions and requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping, and insisted on putting scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall economic and social development. In 2023, Hubei will rank first in the country in the number of new national technological innovation demonstration enterprises, third in the country in terms of technology contract turnover, and fifth in the total number of national incubators.
A number of world-leading innovations, a strong beating of data, Hubei in the endeavor, is moving towards the "new".

Promote efficient governance
"Adding weight" to residents' happiness
The Communist Party is a political party that serves the people, and there is no trivial matter in serving the people, and it must handle the masses' affairs, big and small, well.
——On April 26, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection of Qingheju Community, Workers' Village Street, Qingshan District, Wuhan City.
At 10:40 p.m. on April 25, another sunny day, 85-year-old Jiang Shixue from Wuhan's Qingheju community received a steaming lunch delivered by volunteers at home, including roasted pork with lettuce, shredded pork with dried celery, braised fish pieces, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup.
▲Wuhan Qingheju community volunteers delivered meals to their doors
"Fragrant, the meals in the community canteen are very suitable for the taste of our elderly, the meat and vegetables are free to choose, the taste is also delicious, and the portion is large!" Speaking of the meals delivered to the door on time and on time in the community every day, Uncle Jiang praised again and again.
A canteen meal ticket, a care for the elderly. Door-to-door delivery of meals to the elderly in the community is a tradition that has continued for many years in Wuhan Qingheju community. In 2017, the "small meal ticket" of the community canteen came into being, and on April 26, 2018, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Qingheju, this small meal ticket placed on the table aroused the interest of the general secretary. When he learned that the elderly over 65 years old could eat two meat and two vegetarian meals for only 6 yuan, the general secretary said emotionally that this was a great thing.
Wang Yang, director general of Wuhan Aixi Social Work Service Center, did not expect that such a small matter would be so affirmed by the general secretary, and he is still excited when he recalls it. Today, Haowei canteens are opened in all 12 streets of Qingshan District, Wuhan City, and the age requirement for residents has been expanded from 65 years old to 60 years old.
▲Qingheju community good taste canteen
Small meal tickets, big people's livelihood. In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "people" is a high-frequency word throughout.
In June 2022, Hubei issued a call to mobilize party members and cadres to go to the grassroots level, investigate the people's feelings, solve people's worries, warm the hearts of the people, and advocate the use of "co-creation" values and methodologies to do practical things and solve problems. Elevators have been installed in the old community, the front and back of the house have been cleaned and beautiful, the roads and bridges have become spacious and smooth, and the dilapidated vegetable market has been renovated.
In the past two years, party members and cadres at all levels in Hubei have gone to the grassroots level for more than 2.4 million people, collected more than 480,000 problems of concern to the masses such as employment, education, medical care, childcare, pension, housing, etc., solved 430,000, and formulated and issued 15 policy documents such as rural mail and logistics, meal assistance services for the elderly, and the installation of elevators in old communities. "Co-creation" has become the most vibrant and energetic grassroots practice in Jingchu.

Create a high quality of life
The city of mountains and rivers is full of novelty
Rural revitalization is not a matter of sitting on its laurels, not waiting for it, and not being able to send it, but relying on the struggle of the majority of farmers.
——On April 24, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection of Xujiachong Village, Yichang City.
"The first village of Batou Kushou, the east gate of the Three Gorges Tea Valley, the party member convention is fundamental, and the party members clearly show their identity......" In the song of Xie Rong, secretary of the party branch of Xujiachong Village, Taipingxi Town, Yiling District, Yichang City, there is not only the pride of Xujiachong Village, his hometown, but also the responsibility of party membership. This song "Party Member Convention", which uses the lyrics of the fishing drum tune, is the Xiajiang minor tune that General Secretary Xi Jinping once praised.
▲Xujiachong Village, Taipingxi Town, Yiling District, Yichang City
On April 24, 2018, Xujiachong Village welcomed a special guest. General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to learn about the changes in the village and the development of characteristic industries. He stressed that rural revitalization is not a matter of sitting back and enjoying its successes, and it cannot be delivered if it cannot be waited for, but depends on the struggle of the majority of farmers.
In the past six years, Xujiachong Village has kept in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest entrustment, and the party members and cadres have not waited or relied on it, thinking in one place and working hard in one place, and e-commerce, tourism, homestay and other industries have flourished.

Everyone feels more motivated and motivated!
In Hubei, more and more villages near the river have taken advantage of ecological advantages and riverside advantages to create hot rural tourist attractions. Xiangxiang Village, Fairy Town, Zhijiang City, relying on the construction of beautiful villages, the barren mountains and lakes in the past have now turned into orange orchards; Mamanshan Village in Badong County is surrounded by water on three sides, and a small stream of the Yangtze River, a tributary of the Yangtze River on the east side of the village, has convenient transportation and abundant products, and is known as "the first village where the Yangtze River enters Hubei".
A large number of demonstration sites for the integrated development of agriculture and tourism have emerged one after another, and many farmers have eaten "eco-tourism rice", and the popularity of rural areas has gradually increased, and the villagers have become more and more prosperous.
The Yangtze River is flowing endlessly, and its development will never stop. Striving for a new era, Hubei is setting sail and continuing to write a new chapter in the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in the new era with a strong mission!
