Enter Taihang, enter Tongguan, trace the Wei River, the train runs through the Qinchuan River for 800 miles, and crosses the rolling Qinling Mountains and Longshan.
Outside the car window, the ravines and ravines are vertical and horizontal, each fold is like the lines of the years, and each mountain is like the sediment of history.
After the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to Shaanxi and Gansu to inspect and draw the governance of the great rivers.

The water of the Yellow River, surging down from the roof of the world, is rushing and surging. "How majestic and imposing the water of the Yellow River is." The general secretary was moved.
The deceased is like a husband. It has been five years since the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin became a national strategy.
In September 2019, in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, the general secretary looked at the Yellow River flowing deep through the Central Plains. At the symposium on ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, the general secretary said: "'You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning' used to be so spectacular, but now it takes a lot of effort to keep the Yellow River flowing." ”
In October 2021, at the mouth of the Yellow River, Dongying, Shandong, the general secretary sighed: "The Yellow River flows into the sea, it is really vast!" ”
The Yellow River is peaceful, the world is peaceful, the Yellow River is clear, and the nation is prosperous.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made more than 30 in-depth inspections along the Yellow River provinces and regions, deeply thinking about the close relationship between the governance of the Yellow River and the country, and far-reaching planning for the long-term strategy of the Yellow River. Jiuqu Yellow River, breathing smoothly, long wind mighty.
The century-old Zhongshan Bridge has witnessed the changes of the mother river in the new era.
Baita Mountain is verdant, the weeping willows on the shore are swaying, and the birds on the water are flying, and a "Yellow River Style Line" that stretches for more than 100 miles has become the new business card of Jincheng and a paradise for the people.
On the waterfront platform on the side of the Zhongshan Bridge, many citizens and tourists are enjoying leisure and entertainment, and they are excited to see General Secretary Xi Jinping walking along the riverside greenway.

"We are all sons and daughters of China, sons and daughters of the Yellow River. On the one hand, China wants to boost its economy, and on the other hand, it needs to do a good job in ecological protection, both of which have a bearing on the happiness of the people. Great protection is the premise of great development, and lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. "The Yellow River is beautiful, and it will be even more beautiful in the future." The general secretary's words touched the hearts of the big guys.
"When the general secretary said 'lucid waters and lush mountains', we all said in unison, 'It is gold and silver mountains'." Chen Xufang, a citizen who grew up by the Yellow River, has real feelings.
Control water and secure the country, and rejuvenate the water and benefit the people. What the general secretary is concerned about is to make the Yellow River a happy river for the benefit of the people.
The Yellow River basin is short of water. Longzhong has been bitter and barren since ancient times, and water resources are one of the biggest constraints. "Diverting the water of the Tao River and quenching the thirst of Longzhong" is the long-cherished wish of several generations.
On the morning of the 11th, during the inspection in Tianshui City, General Secretary Xi Jinping listened to the report on the water supply project in Gansu Province, and truly recalled the scene of visiting the construction site in early 2013 and guiding the solution of construction problems.
There are sweet and bitter things, and those who taste them know; There is danger in the road, and those who follow it know.
When he was in northern Shaanxi, the young Xi Jinping had the experience of digging wells and drinking fluoride water. At the end of the last century, Comrade Xi Jinping set foot on Xihaigu for the first time and truly realized what it means to be surrounded by four walls and what water is as expensive as oil. Under his promotion, the well cellar has become an important project of Fujian's counterpart assistance, and a machine well water cellar is called "living well" by the locals.
In the reporter's interview, when the older generation of people in Longzhong talked about the days of thirst, they couldn't help but be moved: "The bucket at home is the only lock in the whole family", "In the morning, the children stand in a row, and the mother sprays saliva, even if she washes her face", "When the people of Tao saw the clear water of the Tao River, they plunged down and took a hearty bath for the first time in their lives......
"People's livelihood first, water control first" - 11 years ago, at the construction site of the water supply project in Weiyuan County, Dingxi City, General Secretary Xi Jinping said these 8 words, loud and sound.
Now, the general secretary is very pleased to hear that this century-old "thirst-quenching" project is progressing smoothly, and that the sweet water of the Tao River has benefited nearly 6 million people.
"The water supply project has been built very well and has solved the urgent need. It is necessary to grasp more projects that benefit the people and earnestly solve the problems of production and life faced by the common people. ”
Water brings greenery and hope.
The autumn breeze is full of water, and the apples on the yellow earth are red. The car circled up the mountain road. As far as the eye can see, on the first-class mountain platform, rows of fruit trees are neatly arranged, and the branches are dotted with bright red and five-edged flowers.
In the orchard, Dong Guihong and the villagers were busy picking, and they were particularly excited to see the general secretary, "The general secretary picked up a big apple we picked, and asked about the things in the orchard, the family, how much money they can make, and how the children are, everyone's hearts are warm." The general secretary can understand the dialect I speak. ”

Fruit thinning in May, bagging in June, weeding in July, fertilizing in August, fruit picking in September...... For nearly 10 months of the year, Dong Guihong is with Huaniu Apple. She said with a smile that now as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work, life can always be done well.
The simple and shy smiles of the farmers in the northwest are so sweet among the fiery red apples. From these ordinary "sons and daughters of the Yellow River", we can feel the power of this land and this big river.
The Yellow River, galloping forward, has shaped the national character of the Chinese nation with indomitable majestic momentum. The Yellow River culture is the root and soul of the Chinese nation.
In the northwest of this trip, from Guanzhong to Longyuan, General Secretary Xi Jinping's footprints traced the roots of Chinese civilization all the way.
Tianshui Fuxi Temple, Gu Bai Sensen, the ancestor of civilization and enlightenment, condensed the deepest identity. General Secretary Yin Yin advised: "Protect and inherit the precious cultural heritage, so that the wisdom and creativity of the ancestors will inspire future generations."
In Maiji Mountain, the treasure of the thousand-year-old sculpture has gone through wind and rain and is lifelike. The general secretary sighed with emotion: "After seeing these lights of civilization and art, our national pride arises spontaneously. ”
All things come into being, and only know their roots. "A person who loves the land of China will definitely love every stream, every inch of land, and every page of her glorious history."
China has a long history and a vast civilization, which is the foundation of our self-confidence and the source of our strength.
The south is based on the towering Qinling Mountains, the north looks at the surging Weishui, the Zhou and Qin meteorology, the charm of the Han and Tang Dynasties, how many rises and falls, and how many civilization legends.
In the Baoji Bronze Museum, standing in front of He Zun, the general secretary pondered for a long time.

More than 3,000 years ago, the word "China" was inscribed in every square inch; More than 3,000 years later, the soil that once buried it and the more than 9.6 million square kilometers of land connected to it bear its name. "China" has become the source of self-confidence and pride for every Chinese son.
General Secretary Xi Jinping traces back to the past and the present: "The Chinese civilization has been 5,000 years old, and it is necessary to further excavate, deeply study and interpret its connotation and spirit, and publicize the great wisdom contained in it, so that everyone can respect and love it more, enhance the pride in Chinese civilization, carry forward the spirit of patriotism, and pass on the excellent traditional Chinese culture from generation to generation." ”
The river flows, and it grows endlessly. As far into the past as you can see, you can see as far into the future. (Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 15)
