Tianshan Forum 丨 Pomegranate blossoms gather

　　Forging a solid sense of the Chinese national community is the "program" of the party's ethnic work in the new era, and all work should be focused on this. The Tenth Party Congress of the Autonomous Region emphasized that it is necessary to focus on the overall goal and continue to forge a solid sense of the Chinese national community.

　　In today's Xinjiang, whether in remote villages or in prosperous cities, there are moving stories of ethnic unity everywhere, and the reason why the land of Xinjiang presents a beautiful and harmonious scene of "pomegranate blossoms and family affinity" everywhere is precisely because the consciousness of the Chinese national community has taken deep root in the hearts of the masses of all ethnic groups.

　　The affinity of the people of all ethnic groups as one family is the fundamental guarantee for achieving social stability and long-term peace and stability in Xinjiang. In the past five years, our region has comprehensively implemented the party's ethnic policy, persisted in doing a good job in ethnic work with the main line of forging a solid sense of the Chinese national community, and promoted the common unity and struggle of all ethnic groups and common prosperity and development; the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang hugged each other like pomegranate seeds, and countless moving stories of national unity emerged: multi-party linkage, starry night journey, rescue and treatment of the boy with the broken arm of Hetian, and witnessed the profound affection of the blood of all ethnic groups; across mountains and rivers, across time and space, "visiting Huiju" team members stationed in villages. Guangdong Xinjiang Aid Doctors have brought light to 14-year-old Kashgar teenagers and written a moving chapter of solidarity among all ethnic groups; there are also Xinjiang medical workers who are fighting in the frontline of the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic throughout the country, as well as Xinjiang's "son dolls" who have just participated in flood prevention and disaster relief in Henan and Shanxi, who are in the same boat with compatriots of all ethnic groups, shoulder the wind and rain, and have witnessed the people of all ethnic groups in the big family of the motherland. These warm stories and touching deeds all profoundly embody the essential requirements of forging a solid sense of the Chinese national community.

　　To forge a solid sense of the Chinese national community, we must strive to build a spiritual homeland shared by all ethnic groups, and promote the unity of the hearts and minds of all ethnic groups and spiritual interdependence. Deputy Kurban Nyaz, principal of the National Common Language Primary School in Yimama Town, Ush County, has been teaching children to memorize Analects and read Tang poems for more than ten years, which not only inserted wings for groups of rural children to fly to the vast world, but also deepened the children's love and recognition of China's excellent traditional culture. In the past five years, millions of cadres and workers have crossed the Tianshan Mountains and the four seasons, living and studying together with relatives who are beyond blood relations. Needless to say, the silent "national unity and family affinity" and ethnic unity and friendship activities have enabled people of all ethnic groups to root the consciousness of the Chinese national community in the depths of their hearts in exchanges, exchanges and blending, and provided a spiritual driving force for building a socialist Xinjiang with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

　　Today, the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. We firmly believe that as long as we take the forging of the chinese national community consciousness as the main line and continuously consolidate the great unity of all ethnic groups, the land of Xinjiang will gather the surging force of building a beautiful Xinjiang and realizing the dream of the motherland.
