In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the Daxing'an Mountains at the easternmost end of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Ejina Populus euphratica forest at the westernmost end is still sleeping. The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with a border stretching more than 4200 kilometers, is watching the northern border of the motherland like a galloping horse. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary has visited Inner Mongolia twice, participated in the deliberation of the Inner Mongolia delegation of the National People's Congress for five consecutive years, and charted a blueprint and a clear path for the development of Inner Mongolia. The cadres and the masses of all ethnic groups in Inner Mongolia have implemented the general secretary's instructions, blazed new trails, worked hard and made great achievements, and all undertakings are thriving. Hold together like pomegranate seeds At the traditional "five animals praying for blessings" ceremony, he used his ring finger to dip in fresh milk and played three times, wishing good weather, prosperity of five animals and happiness and well-being of the people in the coming year. The herdsman bayas Gulen often recalled that scene and felt extraordinarily warm: "the general secretary is connected with the hearts of our people of all ethnic groups." Time flows, and deep feelings remain unchanged. There are more than 10000 residents in this community, including nearly 4000 residents of 12 ethnic minorities such as Mongols, Manchus and Hui. "The general secretary is very concerned about the grass-roots party building and ethnic unity and integration in the community, and emphasizes that the community is the common home of the people of all ethnic groups, and ethnic unity is one family." —— "For Inner Mongolia, to maintain social harmony and stability, we must consolidate and develop the overall situation of national unity"; —— "Firmly grasp the main line of building a strong sense of the Chinese nation community"; —— "Promote all ethnic groups to hold together like pomegranate seeds in the big family of the Chinese nation, jointly build a great motherland and jointly create a better life.". If you think about this, there will be an echo. In recent years, Inner Mongolia has adhered to and improved the system of regional ethnic autonomy and governed ethnic affairs according to law. In May, 2021, Inner Mongolia formulated and implemented the national unity and progress creation and development plan, and promulgated the regulations of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on promoting national unity and progress for the first time. The region has achieved the goal of "pushing as much as possible" in the national unified textbook. All ethnic kindergartens use the national common language for conservation education, and vigorously promote the construction of the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation. "Inner Mongolia has always been at the forefront of national unity and progress." As the "red literature and art light cavalry" on the grassland, Zana, the leader of Wulan animal husbandry in Sunit Right Banner, is the disseminator and witness of the story of ethnic exchanges, exchanges and blending in this land. He is not without pride to say, "along the road guided by the general secretary, the flower of national unity will only blossom more and more." Protect the ecological environment like protecting the eyes "Beautiful grassland, my home, green grass and flowers everywhere"... The ecological status of Inner Mongolia is not only related to the survival and development of all ethnic groups in the region, but also related to the ecological security in North China, Northeast China, Northwest China and even the whole country. Chaishuling, deputy director of Ma'anshan forest farm, karaqin banner, Chifeng City, often thinks of the midsummer afternoon in 2019. "The general secretary came to see the growth of the trees in the sun and asked about the work and living conditions of our forest rangers." Chaishuling said that the general secretary told us to keep this green area. Over the past three years, we have planted more than 6500 mu of trees. Inner Mongolia is the largest and most comprehensive ecological functional area in northern China, with forests, grasslands, wetlands, lakes, deserts, Gobi and other natural landscapes. He has repeatedly issued important instructions and instructions, requiring serious treatment and rectification, and earnestly strengthening the governance and protection of the ecological environment. There is a game between pollution and governance, and problems and opportunities coexist. At the historical juncture of "advance leads to complete victory, and failure to advance leads to retreat", how should Inner Mongolia's ecological civilization construction go? Find the right path, and the construction of ecological civilization in Inner Mongolia has entered the fast lane. Taking into account the positioning of the main functional areas and the resources and environmental endowments of each league and city, we should reasonably optimize and adjust the ecological protection red line, and put more than half of the land area of the region into the ecological protection red line. Through continuous protection, the forest coverage and grassland comprehensive vegetation coverage in Inner Mongolia have reached 23% and 45% respectively, and the area of desertification and desertification has been reduced. "The migratory birds know whether the environment is good or not. Now about 6million birds migrate through Wuliangsuhai or breed here every year." Bao Wei, deputy director of Bayannur Wuliangsuhai ecological protection center, said that the ecological governance of Wuliangsuhai has changed from "governing lakes" to "governing watersheds", and the ecological environment has been significantly improved. Like a Mongolian horse The vast northern Xinjiang, covering an area of more than 1.18 million square kilometers, is a hot land for more than 24 million compatriots of all ethnic groups in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to work together today. In May, the snow in Arshan City, the hinterland of Daxing'anling Forest Region, was not melted. Sitting in the warm relocation building, guoyongcai, a shed reform resident, was no longer worried about waking up at night. "The general secretary is concerned about the housing problem of the common people. Now we have said goodbye to the 'board with mud' house and want to invite him to his new home." Seeing that it was difficult for the masses to live in new houses, he urged local cadres to speed up the transformation of shanty towns and set a timetable so that the masses could live in new houses as soon as possible. Over the past 8 years, 10400 shanty towns have been renovated in Arshan City, and all shanty towns' residents have "moved out of the shed and into the building". In the yurt, he used to make friends with the majige family, a herdsman in Xilingol League. Majige's son gangsugra said that now the electricity is available and the road has been built to the door. Based on the regional advantages of "connecting Russia and Mongolia to the outside and connecting the eight provinces to the inside", we will find out the positioning of Inner Mongolia in building a new development pattern in the country. —— "Build Inner Mongolia into an important ecological security barrier in northern China and a security and stability barrier in Northern Xinjiang of the motherland"; —— "Build national important energy and strategic resources base and agricultural and livestock products production base"; —— "Build an important bridgehead for China's opening up to the north". "Make the northern border of the motherland more beautiful." Bearing in mind the general secretary's instructions, Inner Mongolia does not need to be whipped up. By 2021, the region will achieve "18 consecutive harvests" in grain production and "17 consecutive stabilization" in animal husbandry production. The total profits of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size in the region will exceed 300billion yuan, and the regional GDP will exceed 2trillion yuan. The region will gradually get rid of its dependence on "sheep, coal, soil and gas". The added value of non coal industries accounts for more than 60% of the added value of industries above designated size. Efforts are being made to build a batch of new energy bases of ten million kilowatts, We will take the lead in building an energy supply system with new energy as the main body, and realize the transformation from a large area of fossil energy to a large area of clean energy. "To start a business, we should be like a Mongolian horse, with a spirit of hard work and indomitable." In the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, the children of all ethnic groups in Inner Mongolia are watching and helping each other, have deep brotherhood, and are as hardworking and hard-working as Mongolian horses.
