The right jade spirit is the crystallization of practice in practicing the party's purpose

□ Hu Jian

General Secretary Xi Jinping has made important instructions and instructions on the practice of youyu's unremitting afforestation and greening six times. The general secretary pointed out that the valuable point of Youyu lies in always carrying forward the spirit of self-reliance, arduous pioneering, and long-term contribution, and in always adhering to the concept of political achievements of seeking benefits for the people. The spirit of Right Jade embodies serving the people wholeheartedly, facing difficulties, working hard, and making contributions for a long time and benefiting in the long run.

Youyu County, Shuozhou, Shanxi, is located in the "Three Norths" wind and sand source. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the wind and sand were in trouble, and the wind was blowing from spring to winter; oil lamps were lit during the day and the soil blocked the door at night. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Youyu 21 served as the secretary of the county party committee, one after another, a blueprint was drawn to the end, united and led the party members and cadres and the people of the county to plant trees and afforestation, green mountains and rivers, and turned the "barren land" into a "plugged oasis", and the forest greening rate increased from 0.26% to 57%, which was identified as a national ecological civilization construction demonstration county and a "two mountains" theoretical practice innovation base. In the course of 72 years of struggle, it records the glory years of fighting against the world and burning passion, contains the majestic power of inheriting the past and advancing with the times, and conveys the strong voice of the times that does not forget the original intention and forges ahead. The Youyu spirit, which was born from this, is an important part of the spiritual genealogy of Chinese communists, a historical portrait of the party leading the masses of the people to struggle unremittingly for a long time in the 72 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a textbook for practicing the "Two Mountains Theory" and a charge to build an ecological civilization.

I. The spirit of Right Jade is condensed in the practice of the party uniting and leading the people to strive for a better life, and will surely shine in the process of realizing the great Chinese dream

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the conference celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China that to learn from history and create the future, we must unite and lead the Chinese people to continuously strive for a better life. Jiangshan is the people, the people are the Jiangshan, and it is the people's hearts that fight and defend the Jiangshan. Over the past one hundred years, the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people to carry out all the struggles, all the sacrifices, all the creations, which boil down to one theme: to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Generations of Right Jade people are like this, in the face of the people's ardent expectations for a better life, they do not slack off in the slightest, will not be complacent; in the face of the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, they continue to work hard and forge ahead, they are all persistent dreamers and greeners.

The spirit of Youyu is to always take the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle, and always walk with the people with one heart and one mind and the same direction. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the successive county party committees and county governments in Youyu have always kept in mind the party's purpose and always built a dream with the people, which is the fundamental reason why the dream has come true. On the road of building dreams for 72 years, the 21 county party secretaries of Youyu firmly believe in their hearts that they will be able to work together with each other with dedication to pursuing dreams, working hard, and taking the above rate. On the road of building dreams, the party members and cadres in Youyu County have undiminished enthusiasm, non-stop pace, and incessant struggle, are willing to be poor and willing to dedicate, and with the advanced nature of party members and cadres, they have shown the masses, led the masses to work, and helped the masses to become rich, and have united and led the broad masses of the people. With such a group of selfless public servants, how can the Party members not look up to the same, and how can the masses not follow closely?

The spirit of Right Jade is to always move forward towards the dream, work hard, and face difficulties. Dreams are beautiful, but the road to chasing dreams is not smooth, and the important enlightenment of the Right Jade People's afforestation is to plant faith and then plant trees, and find a way up in the face of difficulties. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Ronghuai, the first secretary of the county party committee, made his first dream, his first determination, and the first battle he fought after he took office were all tree planting. His cry was deafening: If Youyu wants to be rich, he must be covered by wind and sand; if he wants to be able to live with wind and sand, he must plant more trees. And the people of Right Jade are even more hammerheads and nest heads, enlightenment and obligation; a shovel and two hands, dry spring, summer, autumn and winter. It can be said that every piece of green in the right jade bears witness to the precious nature of the cadres and the masses working hard and facing difficulties.

The spirit of right jade is always firmly believed in accumulating soil into hills, gathering water into abysses, and nailing nails for a long time, and achieving success and having my relay race. Long-term success is the secret of the dream of the Right Jade People. A small yellow sandwa, three county party committees in eight years, three times launched a governance campaign, without the tenacious fighting spirit of Qingshan not to relax, how can it persist? From "where can live and where to plant" to "where there is wind and where to plant", from "where there is time to plant" to "reasonable planting of suitable trees", from "Qiao irrigation and mixed three-dimensional planting" to "green barrier construction", from "returning farmland to forests and planting continuously" to "mountains and rivers are beautiful everywhere", the 21 county party committee secretaries have always done one thing -- planting trees, and for 72 years they have been unremittingly doing one thing -- planting trees, and more than 100,000 cadres and masses in the county have worked together to do one thing - planting trees, and planting trees all the way. Today's right jade is already "green water and green mountains outside the show, gold mountains and silver mountains are rich". Long-term work can realize the "green dream", and long-term work will certainly be able to realize the "happy dream".

Second, the right jade spirit and the great national spirit are in the same vein, and the right jade spirit is a precious wealth, and we must vigorously study and carry it forward

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the meeting to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China that one hundred years ago, the pioneers of the Communist Party of China created the Communist Party of China and formed the great spirit of party building, which is the source of the spirit of the Communist Party of China. Over the past one hundred years, the Communist Party of China has carried forward the great spirit of party building, united and led the great national spirit of creativity, struggle, unity, and dream that Chinese cultivated, inherited, and developed by the people, thus providing a powerful spiritual driving force for China's development and the progress of human civilization. The youyu spirit is in the same vein as the great national spirit, and is the spirit cultivated by the unremitting struggle of the Youyu people, an important part of the great spiritual genealogy of the Chinese nation, and a powerful spiritual driving force for taking a new journey, fulfilling new missions, creating new achievements, and realizing the Chinese dream.

The spirit of right jade contains the miracle of creation. Right jade from "green up" to "beautiful up" to "rich up" three leaps, each leap shines with the spark of creation, breaking the foreign experts believe that right jade is "not suitable for human habitation" assertion, refreshing the record of desertification transformation, creating a miracle of green water and green mountains. Standing at the historical intersection of "two hundred years", Youyu people will once again create a happy miracle on the ecological miracle of the Loess Plateau - Jinshan Yinshan.

The spirit of right jade is engraved with the footprints of struggle. Happiness is a struggle. There is no Right Jade people who "work hard and work hard, and the whole people work together", where is today's plugged oasis and ecological miracle? To achieve the high-quality and high-speed transformation and development of Shuozhou's economy and society during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, it is necessary for the leading bodies at all levels to unite and lead the broad masses of the people to work hard to achieve the long-term goal of socialist modernization, and it is even more necessary to make unremitting efforts.

The spirit of Right Jade burst forth with the power of unity. Strength is born of unity, and things are made of harmony. Two or even three trees can often be found growing in pairs in the Songtao Garden of Youyu Nanshan, which the masses vividly call "concentric trees". The masses said that the "concentric trees" stood shoulder to shoulder against the wind and sand and the severe cold, and even if one tree fell, the others would still stubbornly survive. The members of the leading body of Youyu County, the party members and cadres, and the masses of the people are the "trees of one heart", working together in unity and building dreams with one heart. In the course of 72 years of struggle, even dreams can be done together, which is really a people's hearts and minds. "Taking the lead in forging a new path in transformation and development" requires party members and cadres and the masses of the people to unite and look forward, roll up their sleeves and work hard.

The spirit of Right Jade bloomed with the brilliance of dreams. General Secretary Xi Jinping admonished the whole party to "have dreams in mind and pursue unremittingly." The Youyu Spirit is the crystallization of the practice of successive county party committees and county governments in Youyu County closely rallying around the Party Central Committee and leading the people to build dreams, chase dreams, and realize dreams, and it is also a valuable spiritual wealth. Without the dream in your heart, where is the power to act? Every step of the CPC leading the masses of the people to build a new China, achieve food and clothing, and march toward a well-off society embodies the great dream of the Chinese nation. The masses have dreams, and the Party Committee comes to lead the way. New era and new journey, what is our dream? Our dream is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In this great historical process, each of us is a witness and a builder, as long as we dare to build dreams, dare to chase dreams, and be diligent in realizing our dreams, we will certainly be able to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

Third, the construction of an energy green capital and the plugging of pearls require the right jade spirit, and the new era and new journey call for the right jade spirit

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the conference celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China that the original intention is easy to obtain and always difficult to keep. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. We must use history to reflect reality and look at the future from a distance. In May 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Shanxi: "Shanxi once had a coal monopoly, and it was also trapped in coal. For Shanxi, the transformation and development must have a sense of urgency, but also have a long-term strategic plan, and cannot wait until the resources are exhausted to carry out transformation. It is necessary to take the lead in forging a new path in transformation and development. The general secretary's teachings and instructions have pointed out the direction of progress and provided fundamental compliance for getting rid of Shanxi, which is "dominated by one coal", especially Shuozhou, which is located on the plug. In the face of the examination papers of the times, the leading bodies at all levels and the vast number of party members and cadres must vigorously study and carry forward the spirit of the right jade, run the relay with one stick after another, hammer after hammer, comprehensively implement the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing, and strive to form a vivid situation of high-quality and high-speed transformation and development.

To carry forward the spirit of right jade and promote transformation and development, we must emancipate our minds and renew our concepts. The course of the party's century-long struggle, the course of new China's construction for more than 70 years, and the leapfrog course of reform and opening up for more than 40 years is the process of constantly emancipating the mind. Youyuren's 72 years of tree planting and greening practice reflect the concept and idea of innovative development everywhere. The dream of survival, the dream of food and clothing, the dream of moderate prosperity, every step of emancipation of the mind, the dream can move forward one step. To accelerate the construction of a modern energy green capital and a pearl-stuffed Xinshuozhou, we must fully implement the new development concept, first change the mind and then transform, and keep pace with the times to give new goals and new ideas and new measures for green development.

Carry forward the spirit of right jade, promote transformation and development, and must achieve rural revitalization. To build a modern energy green capital and plug in the pearl, we must fully implement the concept of coordinated development, promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, regions, and economy and society, and realize the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. It is necessary to continue to promote the consolidation and expansion of the results of poverty alleviation and the effective connection with rural revitalization, put the consolidation of the results of poverty alleviation in an important position, focus on the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, comprehensively promote the "five major revitalizations" of industry, talent, culture, ecology and organization, build the countryside into a beautiful home for sustainable development and green development, and build Shuozhou into a demonstration area of the Yanmenguan Agricultural and Pastoral Staggered Belt.

To carry forward the spirit of Right Jade and promote transformation and development, we must practice the "Two Mountains Theory". "Green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" has been vividly confirmed in the land of Shuozhou. To accelerate the construction of a modern energy green capital and plug in the pearl is to fully implement the concept of green development and shift the development model of resource dependence to the development track of green ecology. It is necessary to continue to promote the comprehensive treatment, systematic governance and source treatment of landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, focus on green and low-carbon development, focus on emerging industries and future industries, make a fuss about stability, consolidation, extension and transcendence, and strive to change the situation of "guarding the golden mountain to eat" and provide a steady stream of impetus for economic and social development.

To carry forward the spirit of right jade and promote transformation and development, we must actively introduce and actively integrate. Looking back at the history of the construction of Youyu's ecological civilization, the "Green Beauty and Wealth" trilogy written over the past 72 years can be described as a miracle in the world, and the emergence of this miracle is precisely with the reform in their bones and the openness in their veins. To accelerate the construction of a modern energy green capital and a pearl, we must firmly establish the concept of open development, focus on the "two overall situations", bear in mind the "great power of the country", enhance the ability, vision and level of grasping the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, and building a new development pattern, actively introduce new projects and new technologies, cultivate new industries and new formats, actively integrate into the development of the Taiyuan metropolitan area, and make every effort to build a power delivery base, an important water source base and a solid ecological barrier that serve the integrated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, so as to add color to the overall situation with the light of one region.

To carry forward the spirit of right jade and promote transformation and development, we must take the people's yearning for a better life as our goal. Don't forget your original intention, you have to be consistent. The "original intention" of the Right Jade people is to let the people eat enough, fill their stomachs and survive through afforestation in the sand. Over the past 72 years, successive county party committees and county governments in Youyu have identified a theory that planting trees is a fundamental strategy to meet the needs of the people's survival and development, and planting trees is to plant people's hearts and gather people's hearts. As one of the first counties in Shanxi Province to withdraw from the national poverty-designated counties, the practice of Youyu County shows that as long as we fully implement the concept of shared development, always adhere to the supremacy of the people, and practice the original intention of seeking happiness for the people, we will surely create brilliant achievements worthy of the times, the people, and history, and write a chapter in the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern power, Shuozhou!
