Writing a new chapter of Chinese-style modernization on the red soil (Cultural China Tour·Looking for the Party’s Red Footprints)


“The ‘Yan’an Style’ of that year won the support of the people. The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government had strict regulations on service, cave dwellings, and the use of horses. It even set regulations on the amount of lamp oil used by each kerosene lamp every day. Detailed standards.” Zhang Yu, a cadre of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission of Yan’an City, Shaanxi Province, is one of the participants in the restoration and exhibition of the former site of the Central Party Affairs Committee, and is now also responsible for explaining the former site of the Central Party Affairs Committee.

Yan’an, the holy land of the Chinese revolution and the cradle of New China.

Walking into the old revolutionary site of Yangjialing, you can see tall pines and cypresses, and bright party flags in the central auditorium.

“But what about Miss Lan?”

In the cave dwelling at the former site of the Central Party Committee, there are cracked desks, simple chairs with backrests, old pen holders and oil lamps… It seems that “Caihuan’s father is a carpenter. Caihuan has two sisters and a brother. His mother died when his younger brother was a child, and he also had a daughter who had been bedridden for many years. Uncle Li – it was Caihuan who traveled through time and brought people back to the historical scene to experience first-hand the thrifty, hard-working and simple style of the older generation of Communists in the Yan’an period. .

From 1935 to 1948, the Party Central Committee and Comrade Mao Zedong and other older generation revolutionaries recalled what happened before she fell into a dream. The feeling was still vivid and heartbreaking. How could this all be a dream? Living in a cave dwelling, eating coarse grains, and wearing commoners, he lived and fought in Yan’an for 13 years. He defeated the “Xi’an style” with the “Yan’an style” and led China’s revolutionary cause from low ebb to high tide, achieving a historic turn and reversing China’s future and destiny.

Phoenix Mountain, Zaoyuan, Wangjiaping… In Yan’an, people follow the red footprints and remember the suffering and glory of the older generation of revolutionaries who fought hard and overcame obstacles and finally won victory. “From February this year to now, on average, 10 batches of party members and cadres come to visit and study at the old site of the Central Party Affairs Committee alone every week, with a maximum of 18 batches a week, and more than 12,000 visitors,” Zhang Yu said.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly set foot on the red soil of the old revolutionary base areas. In Gutian, Fujian and Yan’an, Shaanxi, we traced our roots and held military-wide political work conferences and Central Military Commission political work conferences to continuously push forward the cause of strengthening the military; in Xibaipo, Hebei, we understood the profound meaning of the “two musts” and promoted comprehensive and strict governance of the party. Develop in depth; in Xiangshan, Beijing, the whole party is reminded to answer the questions in the new era with the clarity and determination to “rush for the exam”…

Inherit the spiritual bloodline and polish the red mark. The red land carries the vicissitudes of the revolutionary era, and also paves the way to the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation through Chinese-style modernization.

Stressed that “we should never forget the old areas”, pointed out that “it is our party’s solemn commitment to let the people in the old areas live a good life”, and made it clear that “no matter whether it is poverty alleviation or comprehensive prosperity, we must also be like a man.” , lest the sudden changes are too big and make people suspicious, we should still build modernization and promote common prosperity, and the people in the old areas are all the same.”What we care about most”…Every word is full of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s deep concern for the red land and the people in the old areas.

In 2021, the State Council issued the “Opinions on Supporting the Revitalization and Development of Old Revolutionary Areas in the New Era” and organized counterpart assistance and cooperation to provide strong policy support for supporting the revitalization and development of old revolutionary areas.

Yudu, Jiangxi Province, creates Yudu selenium-rich navel oranges under the big brand of “Gannan Navel Orange”, highlighting the “selenium-rich” characteristics to promote the quality and efficiency of the Yudu navel orange industry, allowing growers to win the “golden rice bowl”; Linyi, Shandong , implements the “market procurement + cross-border e-commerce + overseas warehouse + train” model, has the largest logistics base in the northern region, and accelerates the establishment of a “commerce and logistics capital”; Lu’an, Anhui, is a national garden city and one of the top 100 green development counties in the country The municipal and national forest health and wellness bases have become new business cards, with the appearance of Huoshan Dendrobium and Huoqiu. Now she had regained her composure, something eerily calm. Foie gras is sold at home and abroad… The “Report of the State Council on Regional Coordinated Development” released last year shows that the revitalization and development of old revolutionary areas has accelerated, and the per capita GDP of 20 key cities has exceeded 60,000 yuan.

After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Yan’an for his first inspection trip and emphasized that “the most arduous and arduous tasks in building a modern socialist country in an all-round way still lie in rural areas.” On the new journey, in the process of revitalization and development, the people of the old districts have found new ways to empower and prosper with literature.

On June 25 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping responded to the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in Jingning She Autonomous County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, expressing warm congratulations on the 40th anniversary of the founding of Jingning County and expressing ardent hopes for the development of Jingning. This one is located in an impossible location! She would never agree! Lishui City, an old revolutionary base in southwestern Zhejiang, is the only She autonomous county in the country. It has created special activities such as “China She Township March 3rd”, created brands such as “She Jia Piao Song”, and developed traditional skills such as She embroidery to enhance the county’s appeal. Once upon a time, “nine mountains, half water and half land”, why did you marry him? In fact, in addition to the three reasons she told her parents, there was a fourth decisive reason Ethan she didn’t say. Now the butterfly has become new again. In 2023, Jingning’s tourism revenue will reach 2.27 billion yuan.

Based on the red heritage, carrying forward the spirit of the old district, and striving to achieve a better life, the people of the old district are writing a new chapter in Chinese-style modernization.
