The nine-bend Yellow River has been flowing through the ages.
The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Party’s leadership in managing the Yellow River. Over the past 80 years, under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Yellow River has made world-renowned achievements in the management and protection of the Yellow River. In the past, the troubled river that "breaks out twice every three years and changes its course once every century" has undergone a huge transformation in the process of Chinese modernization.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has stood at the strategic level of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and Chinese civilization. He has made many on-site inspections of the Yellow River, traveled to 9 provinces and regions in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, chaired three symposiums to carry out special deployments, outlined major national strategies for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, and issued a call to "make the Yellow River a happy river that benefits the people."
The great river is peaceful and everything is renewed.
From water quality improvement to ecological restoration, from green transformation to improvement of people's livelihood, from regional coordination to adapting measures to local conditions, General Secretary Xi Jinping's care and promotion have turned into vivid practice up and down the river, and a magnificent movement of the "Yellow River Cantata" in the new era is being played.
Planning for the future, establishing a new coordinate for Yellow River management from a strategic perspective
Rivers nourish civilization, and water transport connects national destiny.
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: “If we want the country to be safe and the people to be safe and prosperous, we must be good at water control.”
September 17, 2019, Yellow River Museum, Zhengzhou, Henan. General Secretary Xi Jinping stopped for a long time in the "River Management for Thousands of Years" exhibition hall and stared at a historical map of the Yellow River's diversion: "In a sense, the history of the Chinese nation's management of the Yellow River is also a history of national governance."
"The Yellow River is peaceful and the world is peaceful."
Starting from the northern foot of Bayan Har Mountain, the Yellow River runs for 5,464 kilometers and merges into the vast sea. Bordering Kunlun to the west, Yinshan Mountain to the north, Qinling Mountains to the south, and Bohai Sea to the east, the Yellow River Basin spans the east, middle and west, giving birth to the splendid Chinese civilization.
The Yellow River has nine bends and thousands of miles of sand. This large river has many silts, overflows and migrations. In the more than 2,500 years from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the founding of New China, its lower reaches overflowed more than 1,500 times and changed its course 26 times.
In order to manage the Yellow River well, the Chinese nation has been fighting against floods and droughts in the Yellow River for thousands of years. The history of Yellow River governance is full of hardships, reflecting the history of suffering, struggle, and governance of the Chinese nation.
80 years ago, the Chinese Communists took over the important historical task of controlling Huang.
In 1946, after the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region government became aware of the Kuomintang's plan to return the Yellow River to its homeland, it decided to establish a Yellow River management organization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China in accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The first river management organization in the Hebei, Shandong and Henan Liberated Areas - the Yellow River Old Course Management Committee was established, and was later renamed the Hebei, Shandong and Henan District Yellow River Water Conservancy Committee. The Communist Party of China has led the people to open a new chapter in the cause of Yellow River management.
After the founding of New China, party and state leaders attached great importance to the cause of combating pornography. In October 1952, Comrade Mao Zedong came to the bank of the Yellow River during his first inspection tour out of Beijing and proposed that "the affairs of the Yellow River must be done well." Since the reform and opening up, party and state leaders such as Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao have visited the banks of the Yellow River in person to plan strategies for controlling the Yellow River.
The big river day and night, the love for home and country thousands of miles away.
Entering a new era, Yellow River management is facing new situations and new challenges. General Secretary Xi Jinping looked at this great river from a far-reaching historical perspective and profoundly pointed out: "To solidly promote the protection of the Yellow River and ensure the safety of the Yellow River is a major matter of state governance."
In August 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping made it clear during his inspection in Gansu: "I once said, 'The Yangtze River is sick,' and the disease is not serious. Today I want to say that the Yellow River has always been weak and sick, with frequent flooding."
In September of the same year, at a symposium on ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin held in Zhengzhou, Henan, General Secretary Xi Jinping made it clear: "I have always been concerned about ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin." "No matter how busy we are, we still need to make time to study the Yellow River issue seriously. The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to this issue."
At this symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly stated that "the emphasis is on protection, but also on governance". The General Secretary sorted out the "diseases" of the Yellow River one by one: flood risk is still the biggest threat, the ecological environment of the river basin is fragile, the water resources security situation is severe, and the quality of development needs to be improved... "'You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky', how spectacular it is! How much effort is needed to ensure that it continues to flow."
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The reasons are both objective constraints caused by congenital deficiencies, and human factors caused by acquired failure. These problems have their symptoms in the Yellow River and their roots in the basin."
Since then, General Secretary Xi Jinping has chaired a symposium on comprehensively promoting ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin in Jinan, Shandong in 2021, and in Lanzhou, Gansu in 2024. From "in-depth promotion" to "comprehensive promotion", consistent and step by step, the national strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin continues to advance in depth.
Keep this in mind and make plans to guide you. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited various provinces and regions in the Yellow River Basin from the source of the Three Rivers to the mouth of the Yellow River dozens of times to trace history, inquire about ecology, inspect flood control, and visit people's livelihood.
This is the deep concern for Anlan of the Yellow River——
In March 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the last bend of the Yellow River - the bank of the Yellow River located in the east dam head section of Lankao, Henan, and inquired in detail about the Yellow River flood control and the production and living conditions of the people in the floodplain area. In September 2019, in Henan, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Yellow River Museum and the Yellow River National Geopark to gain an in-depth understanding of the history of the Chinese nation's control of the Yellow River, and on-site inspection of the Yellow River's ecological protection and embankment construction.
This is a great concern for the ecological environment of the Yellow River Basin——
In July 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Ningxia and emphasized that "we must strengthen the protection of the Yellow River, resolutely put an end to behaviors that pollute the Yellow River, and make the mother river always healthy." In August 2016, during an inspection in Qinghai, he told the local people that "they must shoulder the major responsibility of protecting the sources of the three rivers and protecting the 'Chinese Water Tower'"; in 2020 In April, during an inspection in Shaanxi, he emphasized "promoting the transformation of the Yellow River Basin from over-intervention and over-utilization to natural restoration and recuperation, and improving the quality of the ecological environment in the basin." In October 2021, he came to the mouth of the Yellow River in Dongying, Shandong Province and told the local responsible comrades to "take the protection of the Yellow River estuary wetlands as a noble cause."
This is a prescription for the utilization of water resources in the Yellow River——
At the Jinan symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping mentioned the water situation in northern Shaanxi during his youth, and emphasized the comprehensive implementation of the "four waters and four determinations" principle, "as many soups as there are steamed buns", and we must make careful use of water resources so that they can be used where they should be used most; in June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Basin, Inner Mongolia The Yannur Hetao Irrigation District Water Quantity Information Monitoring Center listened to the local use of information methods to improve the level of refined management in the Hetao Irrigation District and promote the green and efficient use of water resources. It emphasized that "it is necessary to continue to improve and improve the level of scientific water distribution and dispatching. At the same time, we must live within our means and establish a diversified investment mechanism."
This is a clear requirement for high-quality development of the provinces and regions along the Yellow River——
In June 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping called for "strive to build a pioneer area for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin" during an inspection in Ningxia; in Shanxi in 2025, the General Secretary expressed expectations for the century-old factory Yangquan Valve Co., Ltd.: "The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries can also develop new productive forces." "Old companies can also High-end, intelligent, and green"; in October this year, in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, General Secretary Xi Jinping told the local government to coordinate high-quality development and high-level protection, adhere to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass, and sand, coordinate to promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development.
Protecting the Yellow River is a long-term plan for the great rejuvenation and sustainable development of the Chinese nation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Following the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we proposed the ecological protection and high-quality development strategy of the Yellow River Basin, and the country’s ‘river strategy’ was established.”
The Yellow River, this ancient river is rushing forward in the new era.
Coordinate the implementation of policies and play a chorus of coordinated management of the Yellow River
The difficulty of managing the Yellow River lies in "water control in Nine Dragons", but the success lies in coordinated efforts.
In September 2019, at a symposium on ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin held in Zhengzhou, Henan, General Secretary Xi Jinping listed a set of data:
The per capita water resources of the Yellow River is only 27% of the national average, and the water resources development and utilization rate far exceeds the 40% ecological warning line of general river basins. The difference in per capita regional GDP between Yushu Prefecture in Qinghai at the source and Dongying City in Shandong at the mouth is more than 10 times...
The key to cracking the problem is to reshape the governance pattern in a "one game of chess" across the basin.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized “adhere to overall planning and coordinated advancement” and clearly called for “promoting ecological protection in the entire basin to a new level, new progress in green transformation, new results in high-quality development, new improvements in people’s lives, and creating a new situation in ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.”
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a systematic management system that spans 9 provinces and regions and runs through mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand has been fully rolled out up and down the river——
We will implement syndrome differentiation and treatment, continue to improve the coordinated pattern of ecological protection in the Yellow River Basin, and build a solid national ecological security barrier.
In the autumn of 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Gaoxigou Village in northern Shaanxi. Looking up, the ditches and hills of the loess land are covered with green. The general secretary praised: "Gaoxigou Village is a model of ecological governance on the Loess Plateau."
The loess is covered with green, which tests the wisdom of adapting measures to local conditions and implementing policies systematically. Terraces are built on the gentle slopes of the mountains, dams and weirs are built in the ditches, reservoirs are built to irrigate farmland, and mountains and forests are high in the mountains... Over the years, Gaoxigou Village has unified planning of ecological restoration plans based on natural conditions, so that on rainy days "mud does not flow down the mountain and floods do not flow out of the ditch", and the problem of water and soil erosion has been gradually improved.
As of 2025, the total area of preliminary control of water and soil erosion in the Yellow River Basin is more than 290,000 square kilometers; compared with the 1990s, the current area of water and soil erosion in the Yellow River Basin has decreased by nearly 50%.
“We must adhere to the comprehensive, systematic and source management of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes and grasses”, “the Yellow River ecosystem is an organic whole” and “we must fully consider the differences between the upper, middle and lower reaches”… The systematic concept and dialectical thinking run through the entire process of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s guidance on the ecological protection and management of the Mother River.
The outline is broad. Strengthen the joint prevention and control of the "Three North" projects, continue to fight the battle of pollution prevention and control, and rectify "scattered pollution" enterprises in accordance with the law... In order to highlight the systemic, holistic, and coordinated nature of Yellow River governance, in recent years, an ecological and environmental governance system that integrates upstream and downstream has been continuously constructed, and major projects for the protection and restoration of important ecosystems have been implemented in depth, and the stability of the Yellow River Basin ecosystem has been continuously improved.
Qinghai's Sanjiangyuan implemented a comprehensive project covering multiple elements such as glacier protection, permafrost protection, and vegetation restoration; Inner Mongolia continued to fight for the "Three North" project and concentrated resources to implement a number of key projects; Henan and Shandong signed a horizontal ecological protection compensation agreement. Reversing the situation of one-way governance and uneven power and responsibilities... Provinces and regions along the Yellow River will work together to defend blue skies, clear water and pure land according to local conditions, explore the establishment of a basin-wide, market-oriented, and diversified ecological protection compensation mechanism, and make every effort to build a solid ecological security barrier in the Yellow River Basin.
Green transformation stimulates new momentum for the development of the Yellow River Basin.
The sea breeze blew and the machines roared. In October 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Shengli Oilfield at the mouth of the Yellow River for inspection and investigation.
Listening carefully to the introduction of key technologies such as carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage by scientific researchers, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "For our petroleum energy industry, the next step is to improve the technology, continuously improve production capacity, reduce costs, and at the same time follow the direction of green and low-carbon transformation to achieve the goal of energy conservation and carbon reduction."
"Green and low-carbon development is the trend, and those who follow it will prosper." General Secretary Xi Jinping said with emotion, clarifying the general direction of high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
In recent years, the provinces and autonomous regions along the Yellow River have unswervingly followed the modern path of ecological priority and green development, and actively explored new ways of high-quality development with regional characteristics -
In Yuncheng, Shanxi, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the ecological value and function of salt lakes are increasingly important." Thanks to the "return of salt to lakes", the ecological functions of the local salt lakes have gradually recovered, providing space for the upgrading of the cultural tourism industry.
In Helan County, Yinchuan, Ningxia, regarding the development of modern characteristic agriculture, the General Secretary urged "pay attention to solving the rice-water conflict." With the support of water-saving technology, the contradiction between water supply and demand in Helan County has been significantly alleviated, and the quality and efficiency of agricultural production have improved.
In Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, the General Secretary emphasized that "we must vigorously develop new energy and clean energy and strive to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality." Currently, Inner Mongolia's energy transformation is advancing steadily, with new energy power generation ranking first in the country.
Green waters and green mountains are mountains of gold and silver. All provinces and regions in the Yellow River Basin coordinate development and protection, balance supply and demand, plan for the present and the long term, and continuously transform ecological "green content" into development "gold content".
Reform and empowerment will lay a solid foundation for high-quality development in the basin.
Water, a key variable affecting regional development. Water shortage has always been a key contradiction restricting high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
In June 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Ningxia. When he learned that the autonomous region had signed a cross-provincial water rights transaction with Aba, Sichuan, which is also located in the Yellow River Basin, he encouraged active exploration and standardized advancement.
Through the market mechanism to optimize the allocation of water resources use rights, water rights trading is opening up new development space for the Yellow River Basin. At present, the water rights trading platform in the Yellow River Basin has been launched online, and the practical exploration of water rights trading has achieved remarkable results.
Develop a topic and make a fuss about reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that sound systems and institutional mechanisms should be used to ensure the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin are stable and long-term.
Since the new era, a series of institutional plans have been released - in October 2020, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Outline Plan for Ecological Protection and High-Quality Development of the Yellow River Basin" to draw a long-term blueprint for protecting the mother river; in 2022 In June, the "Yellow River Basin Ecological Environment Protection Plan" was issued, clarifying the specific direction of efforts; on April 1, 2023, the "Yellow River Protection Law of the People's Republic of China" came into effect, solidifying the concept of overall coordination and systematic governance into a rule of law policy.
A series of institutional mechanisms have been continuously improved - the Yellow River basin management system has been improved, the ecological product value realization mechanism has been improved, and the river chief system and lake chief organizational system have been improved... Relying on the reform, new chapters of high-quality development have been written along the Yellow River province.
"Promoting ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin must be done over a long period of time, implemented year by year, and implemented year by year." "The utilitarian benefits of regulating the Yellow River must be measured over hundreds of years. We must not be hasty or careless." General Secretary Xi Jinping said seriously.
The Yellow River is beautiful and will be even more beautiful in the future.
The river flows forward to write a happy answer sheet that benefits the people
The management of the Yellow River is ultimately for the people.
Today, up and down the river, the ecology is improving, the industry is greening, and life is beautiful, and the results of protection and management have benefited thousands of households.
The water system conserves the ecology, and green waters and green mountains reappear on both sides of the river.
In the Shandong Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve, the young land brought about by massive sedimentation breeds unlimited vitality and hope.
In October 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping leaned on the railing at the pier at the mouth of the Yellow River and looked into the distance: "The flow of the Yellow River into the sea is really vast! When I came here today, I have reached the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and I feel at ease."
In recent years, the reserve has invested 1.56 billion yuan in integrated protection and restoration of land and sea ecosystems, adding 74,000 acres of freshwater wetlands, dredging 76 kilometers of tidal ditches, and connecting 241 kilometers of water systems.
Now, it has the most complete, most extensive and youngest wetland ecosystem in China’s warm temperate zone, spanning the two major migratory bird migration corridors of East Asia-Australia and the Western Pacific. It is an important transit station, wintering habitat and breeding ground for global birds.
It’s late autumn, and flocks of migratory birds such as curly-feathered pelicans and white spoonbills take off from the reeds and shoals, gathering and rolling in the air. The number of bird species has increased from 187 species at the beginning of the establishment of the area to about 400 species. The chirping of birds sings the music of the Yellow River's tranquility year after year.
In 2024, at the 46th UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting, China's Yellow (Bohai) Sea Migratory Bird Sanctuary (Phase II) successfully passed the review, and the Yellow River Estuary in Dongying, Shandong Province was expanded to be included in the World Heritage List.
Fenhe River is the mother river of Shanxi and the second largest tributary of the Yellow River. In June 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed to make the Fen River "enriched with water, with better water quality and beautiful scenery" during an inspection in Shanxi. By 2025, all 716 kilometers of rivers will be connected, and the proportion of high-quality water bodies in the Fenhe River Basin will reach 95.2%, basically realizing "a clear water flowing into the Yellow River."
Wuliangsuhai is located at the top of the "Several Bends" of the Yellow River and is the largest lake wetland in the Yellow River Basin. In June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a special trip to Wuliangsuhai to inspect, emphasizing that "it must be managed with care, carefully cared for, consistent, and long-lasting", and urged the locals to "protect this 'Pearl Beyond the Great Wall'". The local government promotes ecological management scientifically with a systematic concept. Today, the water quality of Wuliangsuhai has been significantly improved and it has become a paradise for migratory birds.
In 2022, the main stream of the Yellow River will reach Class II water quality for the first time. In recent years, the water quality of the main stream has continued to maintain Category II and has stabilized and improved.
Safe water nourishes people's livelihood, and the picture of happiness gradually unfolds.
The Hetao Irrigation District, one of the three super-large irrigation districts in the country, once used artesian water diversion without gate control. The irrigation district was "difficult to divert water during droughts and flooded the plain." After the founding of New China, the Party Central Committee determined to solve the problem and build a self-flow diversion irrigation area. The Sanshenggong Water Conservancy Project, "the first gate of the Yellow River for thousands of miles," was completed.
In June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping carefully looked at the seven-level irrigation and drainage system in front of the sand table at the Water Quantity Information Monitoring Center in the irrigation area. The main canal runs through the irrigation area, and the capillary-like branch canals go deep into the farmland. The water level and flow rate of each capillary are clearly marked.
"This system has taken a lot of effort and is worth it. It will be left as a century-old or millennium-old foundation in the future." General Secretary Xi Jinping said with emotion.
Since the new era, various departments have continued to improve the Yellow River flood control and siltation reduction irrigation project system: about 3,000 kilometers of embankments have been built on the main stream of the Yellow River, and about 2,300 kilometers of river channel improvement projects; 40 large reservoirs such as Longyangxia, Liujiaxia, Sanmenxia, and Xiaolangdi provide solid support for flood control and water diversion; thanks to the poverty alleviation and Yellow River irrigation project, the people and land in Ningxia's arid zone have used Yellow River water...
The Yellow River Basin is an area inhabited by many ethnic groups. Due to historical, natural conditions and other reasons, economic and social development is relatively lagging behind. Especially the upper, middle and lower reaches and lower floodplain areas were once areas where my country's poor population was relatively concentrated.
"Poverty-stricken areas must improve infrastructure and public service levels, and make every effort to protect and improve people's livelihood", "continuously improve people's lives and promote common prosperity", and "strengthen inclusive, basic and comprehensive livelihood security"...
Every time he visits the provinces and regions along the Yellow River and every time he holds a symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping always cares about the welfare of the people and always inquires about the people's production and living conditions in detail.
Fumin New Village in Huanghuatan Ecological Immigration Zone, Gulang County, Gansu Province is a typical relocation village to get rid of poverty and become rich. In the past, most of the villagers lived in the high and deep mountainous areas in the south. The natural conditions were harsh and "one area of water and soil could not support one person."
In August 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here and walked along the clean and spacious village road to see——
At the village primary school, carefully ask the children, "Is it far to go to school?" "Where can I have lunch?" "What courses are offered?"
In the convenience hall of the village party and mass service center, I specifically asked: "How many clinics are there in the village?" "Are they all general practitioners?"
Went into the villagers' homes and carefully learned about the villagers' housing improvements, water and toilet improvements, etc., and asked the villagers "Are you satisfied with moving here? Do you have any other requirements?"
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, through targeted poverty alleviation, the poor people in the Yellow River region have been steadily lifted out of poverty, and people's lives have been significantly improved.
The water veins are connected with the cultural context and continue the everlasting roots and soul of the Chinese nation.
In September 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s trip to Gansu and Shaanxi started with a visit to Baoji Bronze Museum, Tianshui Fuxi Temple, and Maijishan Grottoes.
Standing in front of the national treasure bronze He Zun, General Secretary Xi Jinping meditated for a long time.
The inscription on He Zun contains the word "Zhai Zi Zhongguo", which has become the earliest written record of the word "China" so far.
"'China' at that time was a geographical concept, right?" the general secretary asked.
"China" has united hundreds of millions of people since ancient times. After thousands of years of continuous development, it has become the mark of a civilization that has undergone reform and innovation and is becoming increasingly glorious. The still waters and deep currents are intertwined with the magnificent waves.
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that the Yellow River culture is an important part of Chinese civilization and the root and soul of the Chinese nation. "We must promote the systematic protection of the Yellow River cultural heritage and safeguard the precious heritage left to us by our ancestors."
In recent years, provinces, autonomous regions, and relevant departments along the Yellow River have accelerated the formulation of specific plans, implementation plans, and policy systems, and carried out in-depth construction of the Yellow River National Cultural Park; Sichuan has effectively established a cultural heritage protection mechanism along the Yellow River, and a number of major landmark cultural projects have been implemented in an orderly manner; Qinghai has strengthened the systematic protection of the Yellow River cultural heritage and created major landmark cultural projects... Various regions have protected and promoted the Yellow River culture in practice, inherited the historical context and national roots, and deeply explored the contemporary value of the Yellow River culture.
The Yellow River tempers the national spirit.
General Secretary Xi Jinping once said emotionally: "The Foolish Old Man moved mountains and Dayu controlled floods. The Chinese nation has struggled with natural disasters for thousands of years and accumulated valuable experience. We will continue to fight."
The Yellow River surges forward, shaping the Chinese nation's national character of constant self-improvement with its indomitable majestic momentum.
In Lankao County, where the last bend of the Yellow River is located, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to the Comrade Jiao Yulu Memorial Hall located on the sand dunes of the former Yellow River. He profoundly pointed out that Jiao Yulu's spirit "was, is and will remain a precious spiritual wealth of our party";
Arriving in Shanxi, an important barrier that protects the ecological security of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Yellow River, the General Secretary emphasized the need to carry forward the "Youyu Spirit": "Do more things that will benefit the present, benefit in the long run, and benefit future generations";
"The reason why rivers can break through cliffs and seize passes is that they have accumulated the majestic power of the ancient times that surged thousands of miles and returned in thousands of valleys..." On the new journey of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation, the Yellow River has gathered the majestic power of indomitable progress.
The river flows day and night.
Standing at the 80th anniversary of the Party leading the people to manage the Yellow River, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, hundreds of millions of people will continue to work hard and make contributions for a long time. They will continue to write new chapters of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, so that the mother river will always benefit the Chinese nation.
