Nyingchi Gala Village, Tibet, a "place where peach blossoms bloom".
On July 21, villager Dawa Jian ginseng put on traditional clothing and held white hada in his hand, standing in front of his home to greet an important guest. "When we saw the general secretary walking along the sloped cobblestone road, our family was in tears of excitement." DawaJiansan will never forget the scene at that time.
In old Tibet, having a "dwelling with a roof" was something that countless serfs could not have imagined. But now, walking into the home of this ordinary Tibetan, you will find that the open and tidy courtyard, the carved furniture of peach wood, the flushing toilet and so on are all available. Dolma, Dawa's mother, said: "I never thought that one day I would be able to live in a spacious and bright building. ”
Dawa Jianshan calculated the income account to the general secretary: running transportation, peach blossom festival dividends, land circulation, planting and breeding... Xi Jinping was very pleased: "Your income, calculated by addition and subtraction, is hundreds of thousands." Very happy family. ”
In the eyes of Tibetans, it is the poverty alleviation that allows Tibet to "step through the millennium". At the end of 2019, all 74 poverty-stricken counties and districts in Tibet were removed from the hat, and more than 620,000 poor people were all lifted out of poverty. The lives of farmers and herdsmen have undergone great changes from buckets to pipes, from oil lamps to electric lights, and from dirt roads to asphalt roads.
Such achievements have not been easy to come by. In the battle against poverty, ethnic minority areas are the most difficult "hard bones": 14 concentrated contiguous areas of extreme poverty in the country, 11 are located in ethnic minority areas or including ethnic autonomous areas; the "three districts and three prefectures" determined by the central government are all in ethnic minority areas.
"No matter how hard this hard bone is, it must be gnawed down, no matter how difficult this battle is, it must be won, and we must not forget every nation and every family on the road to a well-off society in an all-round way." Over the years, no matter how large the population is, no matter how remote the location, all ethnic groups can feel the cordial care of General Secretary Xi Jinping.
In February 2018, Xi Jinping set off from Xichang, Sichuan Province, along a winding road with a deep slope and a deep ditch, driving deep into the hinterland of DaliangShan. In the homes of poor Yi families, Xi Jinping, villagers' representatives and members of the poverty alleviation task force stationed in the village sat around the fire pond to plan precise poverty alleviation strategies.
In April 2019, Xi Jinping got off the plane, changed trains, took a car, and traveled all the way to Chongqing's Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County, deep in the mountains. He said: This time I made a special trip to visit the villagers, just to understand on the ground whether the "two worries and three guarantees" are really landed, and what problems there are.

From the "muddy water road" to the "cement road", from the "fence house" to the "small courtyard", one ethnic group after another has been lifted out of poverty, and the appearance of ethnic minority areas has undergone tremendous changes. Xi Jinping said: "The Chinese nation is a big family, and every family must live a good life. ”
On July 15, 2019, Xi Jinping went to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region for investigation and investigation. The picture shows Xi Jinping learning about the local history and culture at the Chifeng Museum. Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Xie Huanchi

In March 2018, during the national "two sessions", Zhao Huijie, a deputy to the National People's Congress, invited the general secretary to Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, to have a look. What she did not expect was that in July 2019, Xi Jinping went to Inner Mongolia to investigate and investigate, and the first stop was Chifeng City. Xi Jinping said to Zhao Huijie, I have always kept your invitation in mind, and today I have fulfilled the contract.
During his trip to Inner Mongolia, Xi Jinping came to the Chifeng Museum to watch the rap display of the classical national epic "Gesar (Si)er" and talk cordially with the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to attach importance to the protection and inheritance of ethnic minority cultures, support and support intangible cultural heritage such as Gesar (Si)er, and cultivate good inheritors, which will be passed on from generation to generation.
Not only in Inner Mongolia, whenever he visits ethnic minority areas, Xi Jinping always has to understand the local ethnic minority culture and care about the protection and inheritance of ethnic minority culture.
In Yanbian, Jilin Province, Xi Jinping praised the Korean masses for dancing well, one move and one style is different; in Tongjiang, Heilongjiang, Xi Jinping praised the Hezhe ethnic group for their superb fishing and hunting skills, exquisite pattern art, and Imakan rapping; in the Erhai Sea in Yunnan, Xi Jinping walked into the traditional Bai houses and praised "the environment here is clean and tidy, and it maintains a simple form, such a courtyard is better than a Western-style bungalow, remember to live in nostalgia"...
Today, 14 historical monuments of ethnic minorities and ethnic minority areas, such as the Hani Rice Terraces and Huashan Rock Paintings, have been included in the World Cultural Heritage List; 15 ethnic minority cultural and artistic heritages, such as Uyghur Muqam, Mongolian Patriarchal Folk Songs, and Hui Flowers, have been inscribed on the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List, accounting for more than 1/3 of the total number of the country.
It is worth mentioning that during the "two sessions" of the National People's Congress in March 2014, when Xi Jinping talked about increasing support for the Internet of ethnic minority scripts, he asked with concern: "Do people's networks and Xinhuanet have minority language versions?" "How many nationalities have the script?" "Do the official websites of each autonomous region have minority script versions?"
Behind these inquiries is the general secretary's respect and cherishing of minority culture. In the same year, at the Central Ethnic Work Conference, Xi Jinping stressed: "All ethnic groups have made contributions to the formation and development of Chinese culture, and all ethnic groups should appreciate and learn from each other." Equating Han culture with Chinese culture, ignoring minority culture, and treating one's own culture as external to Chinese culture and lacking recognition of Chinese culture are all wrong and must be resolutely overcome. ”
If culture is the soul of a nation, then cultural identity is the root of the unity of all nationalities. Xi Jinping pointed out: "Cultural identity is the deepest level of identity, the root of national unity and the soul of national harmony. The problem of cultural identity is solved, and the identification with the great motherland, the Chinese nation, and the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics can be consolidated. ”
From August 23 to 24, 2021, Xi Jinping inspected Chengde City, Hebei Province. The picture shows that on the morning of the 24th, Xi Jinping visited the exhibition "Looking Inside and Outside the Great Wall - Record of National Unity in the Qing Dynasty" at the Chengde Museum.

Whether it is the poverty alleviation in ethnic minority areas or the inheritance and development of the excellent traditional culture of ethnic minorities, it is a concrete measure to build a "Chinese national community" and reflects the equality and unity of China's 56 ethnic groups.
Xi Jinping often uses pomegranates as a metaphor for national unity. He stressed: "All ethnic groups must be hugged together like pomegranate seeds, and we are all part of the Chinese national community." ”
In January 2017, Xi Jinping pointed out in a reply letter to Tohuti Khan Kurban, the eldest daughter of Kurban Turum, "Promote the masses of all ethnic groups to hug together like pomegranate seeds and jointly create a better tomorrow in Xinjiang under the leadership of the party." ”
In June this year, Xi Jinping stressed during his inspection in Qinghai: "Only by hugging each other like pomegranate seeds, brothers and sisters, and watching out for each other can we realize the great dream of national rejuvenation and the flower of national unity and progress can flourish forever." ”
During this year's "two sessions", Xi Jinping mentioned the historical story of "three thousand orphans entering Inner Mongolia", which became a hot search on the day. It was three years of natural disasters, and more than 3,000 orphans in Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places were taken to Inner Mongolia, and the "grassland Erji (mother)" raised them in yurts. This incident, which took place in the 1960s, is a vivid testimony to national unity.
For how to do a good job in ethnic work and strengthen national unity, Xi Jinping has a profound thinking: "Whether the ethnic work can be done well, the most fundamental one is whether the party's leadership is strong and powerful. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the fundamental guarantee for the success of national work and for the great unity of all nationalities. ”
A few days ago, Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Chengde, Hebei Province, that China is a unified multi-ethnic country and has formed a pluralistic and integrated Chinese nation in the long river of history. Through the continuous struggle of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, we have achieved the first centenary goal and built a well-off society in the land of China, including ethnic minorities and ethnic minority areas. Practice has fully proved that only the Communist Party of China can realize the great unity of the Chinese nation, and only socialism with Chinese characteristics can unite all nationalities, develop all nationalities, and prosper all nationalities. It is necessary to uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China, persist in taking the correct road of resolving ethnic issues with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively implement the party's ethnic theory and ethnic policy, and constantly consolidate and develop socialist ethnic relations characterized by equality, unity, mutual assistance, and harmony.
Today, "promoting all ethnic groups to hug together like pomegranate seeds" has been written into the report of the Nineteenth National Congress, and "casting a solid sense of the Chinese national community" has also been written into the party constitution. Xi Jinping pointed out: "The 56 ethnic groups are pomegranate seeds, and the Chinese nation is the pomegranate of the whole. We are a Chinese national community, and we must work together to move towards the second centenary goal. ”
