Cctv news(Focus interview): "A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows rice and flowers on both sides." I believe everyone is familiar with this song. We have also known the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Songhua River and the Pearl River since childhood. The rushing rivers moisten everything, which is the source of life, the key to production and the foundation of ecology. However, in the past, problems such as over-exploitation and ecological environment deterioration were once very prominent. The great river of the motherland, the Supreme Leader General Secretary has always been concerned about it. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, his investigation and research have traveled to the north and south of the great river and up and down the great river. Great changes have taken place in our rivers in the past ten years. Where does it change?

The Pearl River "enters the sea with eight mouths" and connects the world. World-class urban agglomerations in the Pearl River Delta develop along the river, and the estuary of the Pearl River is also one of the fastest and most active areas in China. Here, it is also a national first-class protected animal known as the "aquatic giant panda" — — National Nature Reserve of Chinese White Dolphin.
The total area of the reserve is about 4.6 million square meters, including most areas at the estuary. The Pearl River waterway is so busy and the economic value is so high. Can ecology be given priority in the rapid development? How to give priority? On the working boat in the reserve, the reporter took the audience to the scene.
Not only during the construction of major national projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, activities that may directly harm or even indirectly affect the Chinese white dolphins are prohibited in the reserve. In the past ten years, the number of Chinese white dolphins here has been increasing, and now there are more than 2,500, making it the region with the largest population of Chinese white dolphins in the world.
Not only is the water greener, but under the guidance of the concept of joint protection and coordinated promotion of great governance, the ability to ensure river safety has also been greatly improved.
Huaihe River, which spans Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces, was once a famous "disaster river" in history because of poor drainage in the downstream. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, "unified planning" and "unified governance" have been adhered to. The irrigation and water supply project of diverting water from Huaihe River in the revolutionary old area of Dabie Mountain in the upper reaches of Henan Province has invested more than 5 billion yuan, and the construction lasted for three years, and 70% of it has been completed. The second phase of the downstream Jiangsu and Huaihe waterways started in July this year, which will further greatly enhance the flood discharge capacity of the Huaihe River.
Chen Maoshan, director of the Development Research Center of the Ministry of Water Resources, said: "The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core attaches great importance to water conservancy work, especially the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally planned and deployed to personally promote the systematic governance of river basins in China. In the past decade, the average annual loss of flood disasters in China has decreased from 0.57% in the previous decade to 0.31%, which is an amazing achievement. "

Qikou Town, located in Dashanli, Lvliang, Shanxi Province, is a famous ancient wharf of the Yellow River in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Li Shixi, 68, started as a boatman on the banks of the Yellow River when he was a teenager. When encountering headwinds or rapids, they shouted their trumpets and pulled up step by step with a string on their backs. The hard and thrilling boatman’s life not only trained Lao Li’s ability to fight the wind and waves, but also honed his resolute and courageous character.
Later, roads and railways were built, Qikou’s position as a water transportation hub gradually disappeared, the local economy lost its pillar, and Lao Li lost his job, so he took odd jobs to support his family. Until the fight against poverty started, relying on the unique folk customs and the scenery of the Yellow River, the local government decided to take a new path to develop cultural tourism. Lao Li, who refused to admit defeat, took the lead in setting up a homestay.
With this spirit, qikou town looks the same every year, not only getting rid of poverty, but also successfully creating a national 4A-level tourist attraction last year.
