Flying gives birds the widest space to move. They easily cross mountains, oceans, valleys and cliffs. They freely pass through traffic, high walls and skyscrapers. They arrogantly ignore traffic lights, boundary lines and guards and reach the places they want to reach according to their own wishes and abilities.

If you see every kind of bird in Shenzhen

That means-

You have traveled everywhere in Shenzhen.

There is a high consistency in the names of birds in a stable area, and the Chinese bulbul in different regions and communities will have different voices.

Birds are the wild animals with the most words and the most beautiful sounds around us. In the morning, they wake you up outside the window; On the way to work, they accompany you in the street trees; They, like you, build a nest and settle down on the land of land and gold, and have children; Running through the high-rise city, struggling to survive. Of course, they are just like you—

Brought the poetry of life to this city.

"China’s COVID-19 vaccine is the most beautiful gift", and China’s vaccine is like "the light at the end of the tunnel", which brings hope … In the global fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, China’s vaccine has crossed mountains and seas, from its Asian neighbors separated by a strip of water to the South American continent, which has continuously brought hope and confidence to people in many countries to overcome the epidemic and won wide acclaim in the international community.

Promote bridging the "immune gap"

At a vaccination site in the northern district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a nurse skillfully gave Pedro, 8, the first dose of Cushing COVID-19 vaccine.

Pedro’s father, Jorge, is a bus driver and contacts a large number of passengers every day. On January 20th this year, Brazil’s National Health Supervision Bureau approved the vaccination of children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 with COVID-19 vaccine developed and produced by China enterprises, and local governments are also vigorously promoting the necessity of vaccination for minors. Ruore said: "The children have been protected by the vaccine. I really appreciate China’s help!"

At the entrance of Celana, another small town in Brazil, a big billboard with the words "Model City for Fighting COVID-19 Epidemic" declared the local achievements in fighting the epidemic. From February to April last year, in order to study the effect of large-scale vaccination on curbing the spread of the epidemic, a local study was carried out to fully vaccinate the adult population with China vaccine. Only four months after the trial started, the number of new cases with symptoms in COVID-19 decreased by 80%, the number of inpatients decreased by 86%, and the number of new deaths decreased by 95%.

Camilla da Silva is in charge of disinfection in a hospital in Celana. In her view, after vaccination, the whole city not only made itself feel much safer, but also the small town changed. "I work in a hospital and found that the number of infected people in Covid-19 has been greatly reduced. A sharp drop in the infection rate is of great benefit to the city’s resumption of commercial activities. We can try to return to normal life. " On the street, people relax on the street, children play freely, and people shuttle through restaurants and shops. Although they still wear masks, they are relaxed. People in Serrana have said that China vaccine is the "most beautiful gift", which provides a strong protection for the city to restore vitality.

"We are very happy that China vaccine has enabled the people of Serrana to live a normal life!" Serrana Mayor Leo Capitelli said excitedly that thanks to China’s full support, Serrana has successfully controlled the epidemic and the local people’s lives have taken the lead in getting back on track. "Serrana has become the’ recovery capital’ of S? o Paulo".

Eduardo Lopez, medical adviser to the Argentine President, participated in the local clinical trial of China vaccine. According to him, the volunteers have a high willingness to vaccinate and the vaccination effect is also very good. "A remarkable advantage of China COVID-19 vaccine is that it can be stored and transported at the temperature of ordinary refrigerators, which is a great convenience for developing countries like Argentina."

China solemnly promised that China COVID-19 vaccine will be a global public product after it is developed and put into use. Through a series of measures, such as the Global Vaccine Cooperation Initiative, China promotes the fair distribution of vaccines as global public goods, especially benefiting developing countries, and helps to bridge the global "immunization gap". After the successful research and development of vaccines in COVID-19, China has provided about 2.2 billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations, making it the largest supplier of vaccines to foreign countries.

The security effectiveness has been fully verified.

Open the social platform of Nepalese boy Mahasha, and the most praised is a group of graduation photo he filmed in Malaysia last July. In the photo, he wore a bachelor’s hat and was in high spirits, posing in various shapes to record the joy of growing up.

Mahasha studied at the branch of Lincoln University College in Nepal. Last May, the school informed him that he could go to the general school to attend the graduation ceremony, which made him happy and sad. "At that time, there was a general lack of vaccines in Nepal, and it was impossible to enter Malaysia without vaccination, and it also faced health risks during the journey. But this is one of the most important moments in life and I don’t want to miss it. "

Not long after, the COVID-19 vaccine that China helped Nepal arrived in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. A few days later, Mahasha’s application for vaccination was responded. "After the fight, everything is as usual, especially in my heart." Mahasha’s memory is fresh. After completing the vaccination, Mahasha was successfully allowed to attend the graduation ceremony in Malaysia General School.

China is Nepal’s largest vaccine supplier. "My family was also vaccinated with China vaccine and felt very safe." Mahasha told reporters that no one in the family of seven has been infected with Covid-19. "The safe and effective China vaccine has protected our health. Nepalese people really feel what is’ friendship across the Himalayas’. "

From the hinterland of the Middle East to the African continent, from the Amazon rainforest to the Pacific island countries, with the continuous expansion of vaccination scale around the world, the safety and effectiveness of China vaccine have been fully verified and more and more "confidence votes" have been obtained. Many countries have approved the use of China vaccine in children and adolescents, and leaders of more than 30 countries have publicly vaccinated China vaccine. Zimbabwean President Mnangagwa compared the China vaccine to "the light at the end of the tunnel" to bring hope; Anutin, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health of Thailand, said that China vaccine "is the main force of our universal vaccination"; Hungarian Foreign Minister West Jardot said that the China vaccine is "effective, safe and effective"; Maria Caster, Bolivia’s Deputy Minister of Health, believes that Chinese medicine vaccines are helping Bolivia effectively build an "immune barrier" in border areas …

Strengthen technical cooperation against epidemic diseases.

Mu Chao, an Egyptian boy, studied Chinese at Cairo University for four years and worked in a travel agency after graduation. The epidemic had an impact on his career. In April last year, China Kexing and Egyptian Biological Products and Vaccine Company signed an agreement to produce Kexing COVID-19 vaccine in Egypt, and sent a technical team to Egypt to implement localized production cooperation. Mu Chao became an expert translator for China Kexing Company to guide the construction of the factory in Egypt.

"I can participate in the construction of a factory that produces COVID-19 vaccine, and I have a special sense of accomplishment!" Over the past six months, Mu Chao has witnessed the efficient operation of Egypt’s local vaccine factory-the annual production capacity of the factory reaches 200 million doses, which can meet Egypt’s domestic vaccine demand. Another Sino-Egyptian cooperative vaccine factory and a fully automatic cold storage that can store 150 million doses of vaccine are in full swing. Not long ago, China and Egypt jointly assisted Gaza with 500,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine, which was the first time that Egypt provided a vaccine jointly produced by China and Egypt. Jaafar, Acting Minister of Health of Egypt, said that the first COVID-19 vaccine production line on the African continent established by Egyptian and Chinese companies has produced about 30 million doses of safe and effective vaccines.

"Thanks to our friends in China for helping us produce COVID-19 vaccine." Mu Chao said that his family and friends also benefited from this and his life gradually returned to the right track. Naima Gasil, representative of the World Health Organization in Egypt, said: "China-Egypt cooperation in vaccine production can not only accelerate the vaccination program in Egypt, but also further promote the anti-epidemic process in Africa."

Teach people to fish and benefit the local area. China is committed to achieving the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in the world, especially in developing countries, and strongly supports China vaccine enterprises to transfer technology to developing countries. It has started cooperative production in UAE, Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, Brazil, Turkey, Pakistan, Mexico, Myanmar and other countries, initially forming an annual production capacity of more than 1 billion doses, which not only meets domestic demand, but also benefits neighboring countries, greatly alleviating the global vaccine shortage. According to the latest report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, during the epidemic prevention and control period, China was the largest source country of patent applications related to vaccines and therapies in COVID-19, indicating that China’s innovation in this field is in the "first phalanx" in the world.

Walking alone is fast, and many people travel far. China will continue to uphold the concept of human health community, adhere to true multilateralism, continue to support the anti-epidemic cooperation mechanism under the multilateral framework within its capacity, and make positive contributions to mankind’s early victory over the epidemic.

　　"Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", a classic exposition with profound connotation and great charm, has long been a familiar "golden sentence" for the people of China, and moistens things silently into people’s daily life.

　　On August 15th, 2005, in Yucun, Anji, Zhejiang, the supreme leader comrade, then secretary of Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, creatively put forward the important concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".

　　Fifteen years have passed, and the important concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" has and will continue to have a wide and far-reaching impact on the construction of ecological civilization in China.

　　On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of this important concept, let’s review the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary and further deepen our understanding of the Supreme Leader’s ecological civilization thought.

　　"Beautiful Turn" in Zhejiang Rural Areas

　　On the land of Zhejiang, there are many stories of "beautiful turn".

　　In 2002, as soon as the Supreme Leader arrived in Zhejiang, he went deep into the grassroots to observe the people’s feelings, listen to the people’s opinions and visit the people’s worries. In just 118 days, he traveled all over 11 cities and visited 25 counties. During the visit, rural environmental problems gradually "surfaced" and became the focus of the supreme leader.

　　In 2003, on the basis of in-depth investigation and accurate grasp of the stage characteristics of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" work and urban-rural relations in Zhejiang, the Supreme Leader Comrade, who was then Secretary of committee of cpc zhejiang provincial committee, adapted to the new expectations of the people, personally selected topics, personally planned and personally deployed and promoted the "Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Renovation" project (referred to as "Ten Million Projects").

　　Two years after launching the "Ten Million Project",On August 15th, 2005, the Supreme Leader visited Yucun, Anji, and spoke highly of Yucun’s determination to close the mining area and take the road of green development in an all-round way, and put forward the important concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" for the first time.

　　This is an imposition photo. The picture above shows the information photo of Yucun, Tianhuangping Town, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province in the 1980s. The picture below shows: On April 24, 2018, tourists took photos in the renovated Yucun (photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Weng Xinyi). Xinhua news agency

　　Nine days after Yucun’s investigation, Comrade Supreme Leader published an article entitled "Zhexin" in Zhejiang Daily.Green water and green hills are also Jinshan Yinshan, further explanation way: "We pursue the harmony between man and nature, and the harmony between economy and society. In layman’s terms, we want both green mountains and green hills and Jinshan Yinshan."

　　This article is included in the book Zhijiang Xinyu. Let’s look at it together:

　　Green mountains and green hills are also Jinshan Yinshan.

　　(August 24th, 2005)

　　We pursue the harmony between man and nature, and the harmony between economy and society. Generally speaking, we want both green mountains and green hills and golden mountains and silver mountains.

　　Our province has "seven mountains, one water and two fields", and in many places, "green water meanders and green mountains face each other", which has good ecological advantages. If these eco-environmental advantages can be transformed into eco-economic advantages such as eco-agriculture, eco-industry and eco-tourism, then green mountains and green hills will become Jinshan Yinshan. Green mountains and green hills can bring Jinshan Yinshan, but Jinshan Yinshan can’t buy green mountains and green hills. Green mountains and green hills and Jinshan Yinshan will not only have contradictions, but also be dialectical and unified. In the case that you can’t have your cake and eat it, we must understand the opportunity cost, be good at choosing, learn to discard the useless, do something and do something wrong, unswervingly implement Scientific Outlook on Development, and build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society where man and nature live in harmony. In the choice, find the right direction, create conditions, and let the green mountains and green mountains bring Jinshan Yinshan continuously.

　　In September 2013, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader gave a speech at Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan and answered questions, he further elaborated this concept.: "We want green mountains and green hills as well as Jinshan Yinshan. I would rather have green mountains and green hills than Jinshan Yinshan, and Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. "

　　Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. After 15 years of practice and development, Zhejiang people have a deeper understanding of the important concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".

　　A few days ago, when he interviewed in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Lishui, Huzhou and other places in Zhejiang, he had personal feelings.

　　Thoroughly implement the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought

　　Ecological prosperity leads to civilized prosperity. Building ecological civilization is related to the future of the country, the well-being of the people and the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has devoted great efforts to the construction of ecological civilization, covering the north and south of the river, cities and villages, and has a clear understanding of the ecological environment in various places.

　　In Hainan, he positioned himself for development. Green mountains, green waters, blue sea and blue sky are Hainan’s strongest advantages and biggest capital. It is necessary to retain the scenery like "Flying Springs and Flowing Wan Ren, Dancing Cranes and Riding High"; In Hunan, he earnestly warned that "the waves in Dongting Lake are pouring with snow, and the people of Long Island are singing and moving poems" and "the long smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles away, and the scenery is beautiful and the shadows are heavy". This kind of rural beauty can not be lost, but should be integrated with modern life; On the Qinghai Plateau, he earnestly entrusted him to ensure that "one river of clear water flows eastward" … …

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed on many occasions that the construction of ecological civilization is a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and it is necessary to deeply understand the great significance of strengthening the construction of ecological civilization.

　　The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the CoreIncorporate the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s causeTo make the construction of ecological civilization an indispensable part of the overall layout of the "five in one", "Beautiful China" has become the goal of socialist modernization power.。

　　At the same time, "ecological civilization construction", "green development" and "beautiful China" were written into party constitution and the Constitution, which became the will of the whole party, the will of the country and the common action of the whole people.

　　On May 18, 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech at the National Ecological Environmental Protection Conference, deeply analyzed the situation and tasks faced by China’s ecological civilization construction, and profoundly expounded the great significance, important principles and main measures to strengthen ecological civilization construction.
