Ningde, located in the northeast of Fujian Province, is the place where the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader worked. It used to be "old, young, border, island and poor", and its economic aggregate ranked the last in the province. It is one of the 18 concentrated contiguous poverty-stricken areas in China.
Ningde is now a rising port city along the southeast coast of China. In 2022, the GDP of Ningde area was 355.462 billion yuan, up 10.7% year-on-year, ranking first in prefecture-level cities in China, ranking first in Fujian Province for four consecutive years, and its economic aggregate ranked among the top 100 cities. In the first half of this year, Ningde’s five major economic indicators increased first in the province.
From backwardness to leadership, to the new growth pole of the whole province and the model of building a new Fujian with "flexible mechanism, excellent industry, rich people and beautiful ecology", Ningde cadres and masses have continued to struggle and work hard in the direction guided by the supreme leader comrades for more than 30 years, realizing leap-forward development and historical transformation.
Industrial jump — —
Hug a few more "golden dolls"
Once upon a time, due to multiple constraints such as traffic bottlenecks, Ningde had a weak development foundation and a weak industrial base.
"More big projects, more hugs ‘ Golden doll ’ , accelerate the leap-forward development. " Comrade Supreme Leader raised ardent hopes during his investigation in Ningde, Fujian Province in September 2010, and put forward higher requirements for Ningde in 2020, "striving to take new steps in promoting high-quality development".
Bearing in mind the entrustment of the general secretary, Ningde insisted on focusing on the real economy and made a fuss about "grasping the leader, casting the chain and building the cluster". Today’s Ningde not only embraces a number of "golden dolls" with full color, but also makes a big article around "golden dolls".
In 2022, Ningde was selected as the first batch of 12 pilot cities for the construction of industrial chain and supply chain ecosystem in China, and was included in the list of cities with stable industrial growth and remarkable transformation and upgrading.
In the investigation, the reporter found that compared with other cities in China, the supply chain ecosystem of Ningde industrial chain has three characteristics: strong leading, well-connected chain and efficient cluster coordination.
— — How does the chain "make something out of nothing"? Strengthen the leading enterprises to drive.
"It only takes a few minutes to charge once!" Compared with the "mileage anxiety" of many new energy owners, taxi driver Wu Zhihua is quite calm. This confidence comes from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s intelligent power exchange technology.
On June 2, the reporter took a taxi to enter the intelligent power station. Master Wu used his mobile phone to operate one-button power exchange on the APP, and the interface showed the real-time progress of battery replacement. Three minutes later, the voice broadcast of the intelligent power changing station sounded: "The power changing is complete, please leave!"
Power exchange business is a new sector developed by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited after power battery and energy storage business.
Speaking of Ningde, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is an unavoidable topic. Established in 2011, this enterprise has become the world’s number one in the field of power batteries in only six years, with a global market share of 37%, making Ningde the world’s largest production base of polymer lithium-ion batteries.
"Only by running continuously can we continue to lead." During the interview in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, the reporter heard this sentence many times. With strong strength, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited was selected as one of the "100 Most Influential Companies" in Time magazine.
In Ningde, there is more than one enterprise with global leading strength. Qingtuo Group is the largest and most complete enterprise of stainless steel in the world. Zhongtong Southeast Copper Company has the largest copper smelting production line with single system in the world. New energy technology companies are unique in technologies such as batteries, packaging and system integration … …
Enterprises like Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited settled in Ningde, which is indeed related to Chairman Zeng Yuqun’s deep feelings for his hometown, but all the opportunities that can be grasped come from full preparation. Ningde introduced leading enterprises with strict top-level design and logical thinking.
"We pay attention to two overall plans: First, the investment promotion policy is coordinated throughout the city, and the key projects are negotiated and acted by the city with the county, and the city and county share the investment and benefit; Second, the industrial layout is coordinated throughout the city, and the supply chain enterprises in key industrial chains are promoted to be nearby. " Liang Weixin, secretary of Ningde Municipal Party Committee, told reporters.
— — How does competition stand out? Highlight the guidance of advanced technology
Can you believe that 2000 apartment buildings will be built in 18 days?
Using Qingtuo Group’s stainless steel products, it took only 18 days from construction to capping, and 2,000 sets of stainless steel apartment buildings with a total area of 73,000 square meters were built in Changsha, setting a new record for infrastructure construction in China.
Behind speed and passion, advanced technology is indispensable.
"Without mastering the core technology, it will be difficult to gain a favorable position in the competition, let alone win the respect of the international market." Speaking of the research and development of core technologies, many enterprises in Ningde have a painful experience.
Large-screen TV has already entered thousands of households, but in the process of LCD screen changing from small to large, there is a little-known story.
Due to the low purity of fused zirconia, the raw material of refractory bricks needed in the kiln, bubbles are easy to appear when firing liquid crystal glass in the kiln, which affects the size of the panel. Sanxiang New Materials Company, located in Shouning County, Ningde, has improved the purity of fused zirconia and reduced the generation of bubbles through technical research and development, so that the LCD screen can be made bigger and bigger.
To this end, the leading enterprise in the global glass industry — — Asahi Glass Company of Japan specially awarded Sanxiang New Materials Company the Excellent Supplier Award, and the person in charge marveled: "The whole world should thank Sanxiang Company!"
In recent years, technological innovation has become a common practice in Ningde enterprises. Innovation not only expands application scenarios, but also greatly improves production efficiency.
On May 9th, in the deburring workshop of Ningde Wenda Company, the robot was stretching its arms back and forth to work in an orderly manner. Xiao Chuanzhou, deputy general manager of the company, told the reporter that in the end plate of battery materials for new energy vehicles, the workshop uses 50 robotic arms to produce at the same time, which can replace 700 workers and produce 40,000 finished products a day.
"Five tenfold growth" reflects the intensity of Ningde’s investment in scientific and technological innovation: R&D investment increased from 785 million yuan in 2012 to 7.701 billion yuan in 2021; The number of national high-tech enterprises increased from 22 in 2012 to 227 in 2022; The number of R&D platforms has increased from 16 in 2012 to 167 in 2022; The proportion of the added value of high-tech industries in the regulated industrial added value increased from less than 5% in 2012 to 54.2% in 2022; Talent funds have increased 10 times in 10 years.
— — How is the industry big and strong? Create industrial cluster effect
The reporter walked into the hot rolling workshop of Qingtuo Group, and a modern intelligent production line came into view. Dozens of tons of stainless steel slabs were crushed into 2 mm thick steel coils, which took only 2 minutes.
The efficient operation of enterprises is inseparable from the agglomeration effect. How to build a world-class advanced manufacturing cluster? How to form an independent, controllable, safe and efficient industrial chain supply chain system?
Ningde’s approach is to implement accurate investment promotion in the industrial chain: first draw an "industrial map", list the key links of the industrial chain, prepare a catalogue guide for investment promotion, and then carry out special actions to attract investment from point to point.
"A leading enterprise builds an industrial cluster, and relies on the strong competitiveness and traction of leading enterprises to build a unique model for the sustainable development of Ningde’s industrial chain supply chain. At present, Ningde’s industry has formed ‘ Integration of production and marketing and mutual market ’ The pattern. " Wang Yilin, deputy director of the Ningde Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said.
Qingshan Steel Pipe Company, located in zhouning county Stainless Steel Deep Processing Industrial Park, Ningde City, can achieve the arrival of raw materials in one hour. "The unified layout of supply chain enterprises in the park, the concentration of upstream and downstream enterprises, the full use of natural gas pipelines and other facilities, and the intensive use of land are self-evident." Sun Zhaohui, chairman of Mengxin Group, said. Driven by the industry leaders, the deep processing enterprises of stainless steel in zhouning county are in a "group-like" situation.
In Ningde, the four leading industries have formed a highly integrated ecosystem: lithium batteries are the core components of new energy vehicles, nickel and cobalt in laterite, the raw materials of stainless steel, are important materials for lithium batteries, and copper products are indispensable key elements for automobile and lithium battery manufacturing.
"In recent years, Ningde has gathered more than 200 industrial chain projects. From the industrial system supported by key industries such as electrical appliances, food, new energy and shipbuilding in 2012, it has developed into four leading industrial clusters of lithium-ion new energy, new energy vehicles, new stainless steel materials and copper materials." Miao Minghua, a second-level researcher at Ningde Industrial and Information Technology Bureau, said.
Introduce a project, cultivate an industry and drive an economy. Industrial prosperity is an important support for Ningde’s high-quality development.
Country Butterfly Change — —
The more folk songs are sung, the more beautiful they become.
"Nine mountains, half water and half fields" is a true portrayal of Ningde. Due to the lack of large flat land, the local area faces many difficulties in promoting agricultural industrialization.
How to break the bottleneck and form development advantages?
"Relying on mountains to sing folk songs, relying on the sea to eat the sea and read the sea classics." During his work in Ningde, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out the direction for farmers in Ningde to increase their income and get rich. On August 4, 2019, when the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader wrote back to the villagers in Xiadang Township, Shouning County, he encouraged the people in eastern Fujian to "strive to embark on a road of rural revitalization with the characteristics of eastern Fujian".
Over the years, Ningde has kept in mind the entrustment, given full play to the advantages of eastern Fujian, developed its industry according to local conditions, and initially embarked on a new road of rural revitalization, which is industry-led, city-led, culturally empowered and ecologically livable.
— — Do an industry that can make people rich.
Located in the northeast of Ningde City, Fuding is connected with mountains and seas. This is the largest white tea producing area and export base in China, with 380,000 people involved in tea among the city’s population of more than 600,000.
However, in the 1980s, Fuding was listed as a national poverty-stricken county, and most of the local people made a living by going out to work or doing business.
The rise of white tea in Fuding is in the past 20 years.
"In the past, Fuding people also tried planting projects such as greenhouse vegetables and grapes. However, because it is located on the coast, it is vulnerable to typhoons. When the typhoon comes, all the sweat and blood of farmers will be wasted. " Cai Meisheng, executive deputy head of fuding city Tea Industry Leading Group and director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress, said.
Tea has a long history of planting in Fuding, and its planting resistance is high, which is relatively less affected by typhoon. After repeated attempts, it has gradually become a consensus to develop tea as the main crop.
The green tea market is saturated, and the competition between scented tea and black tea is fierce. Fuding tea can only find another way to gain popularity. At that time, there were not many places producing white tea in China, and the birthplace and main producing area of white tea was in Fuding, which strengthened Fuding’s confidence in developing white tea.
On May 7th, in the automatic production workshop of white tea refining of Fujian Pinpinxiang Tea Co., Ltd., the reporter saw a production line integrating automatic and intelligent equipment such as tea infrared color sorter, automatic homogenizer and robot packer. A small piece of tea had to go through six refining processes, including screening, air separation, color selection, electrostatic impurity removal, manual picking and even stacking, before it was qualified.
After entering the new century, Fuding white tea has been gradually recognized, and white tea enterprises have mushroomed. By the end of last year, there were 16 tea enterprises in fuding city that paid more than 1 million yuan in taxes. "Fuding white tea is an industry that can really make the people rich." Cai Meisheng said.
Over the years, Ningde has insisted on industrial revitalization as the basis of rural revitalization. "We give full play to the advantages of regional resources, do a good job in local products, and vigorously develop tea, fruits, vegetables, edible fungi, Chinese herbal medicines, forest and bamboo flowers, animal husbandry, aquatic products and rural tourism ‘ 8+1’ Rural characteristic industries have created regional public brands such as Ningde Pseudosciaena crocea, Gutian edible fungi and Fuding white tea. In 2022, ‘ 8+1’ The total scale of the entire industrial chain of characteristic industries reached 215 billion yuan. " Xia Rui, deputy director of Ningde Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, said.
— — Financial innovation solves the financial problem
The mushroom rack is seven or eight stories high, the fungus sticks are arranged neatly, and the tremella is blooming like a flower … … During the investigation, during the peak season of tremella production, edible fungi grew well in the workshop of Tiantianyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Daqiao Town, Gutian County.
Gutian County is known as the "Edible Fungi Capital of China", but there are high risks in planting edible fungi. Affected by natural disasters and diseases and insect pests, the necrosis rate of produced fungus sticks is high.
In order to prevent risks to the greatest extent, Gutian County has strengthened the construction of digital brain platform for edible fungi since last year, and provided services such as tremella cultivation insurance through digital means to enhance the ability and resilience of mushroom farmers to cope with risks.
"From the beginning of planting edible fungi, every step of mushroom farmers was completed through credit purchase. Until the edible fungi were sold, mushroom farmers had funds to repay their accounts. Once the mushroom price fluctuates or the sales are blocked, it is easy to form ‘ Triangle debt ’ . Now mushroom farmers can apply for loans directly on the platform, and the bank evaluates the amount according to the mushroom farmers’ orders, achieving earmarking. " Lin Jianming, head of digital brain of Gutian edible fungi, said.
Wang Jianzhen, chairman of Gutian Rural Credit Cooperative, told the reporter that in order to solve the financial problem, the local government actively improved and expanded the platform construction of the People’s Wealth Center, equipped with comprehensive information, guarantee and credit enhancement, local industrial support, financial product innovation, financial inclusive promotion and other service measures.
By the end of December last year, cooperative banks had issued 4,761 loans to farmers through the platform of the People’s Wealth Center, with a total loan amount of 1.219 billion yuan. The People’s Wealth Center has become a window for inclusive finance’s reform and innovation to serve rural revitalization.
— — Give trial and error opportunities to introduce rural talents.
There are quaint old houses hidden among the green trees, butterflies dancing around the flowers, and groups of golden carp … … I came to Longtan Village, Xiling Township, pingnan county City, Ningde City, as if I had entered a paradise.
However, just before May 2017, Longtan Village was once "empty", more than 120 old buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were in disrepair, and less than 200 people stayed in the village.
What rejuvenates the village is cultural creativity.
Pingnan county is located in a deep mountain, which was once an insurmountable mountain range for generations of Pingnan people. Therefore, Pingnan is lucky to preserve the next batch of primitive ancient villages with long ancient charm and unique landscape.
After many arguments, the pingnan county Municipal Government decided to take Wenchuang as the breakthrough point, introduce a team of experts in Wenchuang, and realize the protection, activation and utilization of traditional villages with the help of the "external brain".
At this moment, an "uninvited guest" named Lin Zhenglu came and proposed to develop cultural and creative industries in Pingnan and revitalize the ancient village. Zhang Zhengrong, then deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Pingnan County Committee, immediately said: "Then give it a try!"
In 2017, the traditional village protection project in Longtan Village was launched, and a public art teaching platform of "Everyone is an artist" was built to promote the cultivation of new formats such as coffee houses, bars, homestays and studios. The village that has been silent for many years has become full of vitality again, attracting not only hundreds of old villagers to return, but also 131 "new villagers" who like rural life. "They brought a new concept of life, set off a wave of cultural creation, and successfully transformed Longtan from ‘ Hollow village ’ Become ‘ Cornucopia ’ 。” Yang Lin, head of Xiling Township, said.
From "broken wooden house" to "golden house", the butterfly change in Longtan village is a microcosm of Ningde’s rural revitalization. In recent years, Ningde has continuously stimulated rural creativity, coordinated urban and rural areas and regions with the concept of "coordinated" development, and solved the problem of uneven development.

Born by the sea and prospered by it.
Ningde has a coastline of 1,046 kilometers, accounting for one-third of Fujian Province, with a sea area of 44,600 square kilometers. There are 29 large and small harbors in the area. "Whether it is the revitalization of the mountain economy or the development of the coastal economy, it is an important wing of the new economic level in eastern Fujian." More than 30 years ago, the supreme leader comrade who was then the secretary of Ningde District Committee pointed out the direction for Ningde’s economic development.
— — Innovating to Save Endangered Pseudosciaena crocea
On the dining table in Chinese, 8 out of every 10 large yellow croaker come from Ningde.
However, in 1970s, due to overfishing, the wild Pseudosciaena crocea resources were on the verge of exhaustion. In 1989, the Supreme Leader gave instructions on the Report on the Development of Marine Fish Culture Technology in East Fujian submitted by Liu Jiafu, an expert on the breeding technology of Pseudosciaena crocea, and asked him to concentrate on scientific research.
During the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" to the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", the aquatic technology extension station in Ningde City, Fujian Province, where Liu Jiafu is located, overcame difficulties, constantly broke through the artificial batch breeding and rapid breeding technology of large yellow croaker, and realized industrial breeding.
"The once endangered Pseudosciaena crocea has become the largest cultured marine fish in China and a pillar industry for local fishermen to eat the sea by sea." In the view of Huang Shaoyuan, a four-level researcher of Ningde Ocean and Fisheries Bureau, such a counterattack begins with "seedlings".
Seeds are the "chips" of agriculture, and fishery seedlings are the "chips" of mariculture. Relying on the unique mariculture conditions, Ningde people started a big article around small fry.
One end, to cohesion. The construction of 12 original seed farms above the municipal level and 2 national modern seed industry demonstration farms was accelerated, and the only national large yellow croaker original seed farm in China settled in Ningde, laying the foundation for the construction of the original improved seed system of aquatic products.
One end, borrow outward. Breaking the boundary between scientific research institutes and enterprises, strengthening the cooperation of aquaculture seed industry in Industry-University-Research, the State Key Laboratory of Pseudosciaena crocea Breeding and the National Pseudosciaena crocea Genetic Breeding Center landed, the breeding of new varieties "Fufa No.1", "Ningxin No.1" and "Ningxin No.2" was completed, and the aquaculture seed industry continued to innovate.
On May 9, 10 million Pseudosciaena crocea fry with a length of about 3.5 cm were put into cultivation rafts in the Dongchongkou sea area of Sandu ‘ao, Ningde, and it is expected to bring 20 million yuan in income when they grow into the market.
— — Clear the sea and clear out billions of industries.
The rapid development of marine aquaculture has become an important industry for fishermen to increase their income and get rich, but it has also caused the problem of disorderly and unqualified aquaculture.
"In the past, the marine aquaculture industry expanded blindly, and the traditional extensive farming methods led to the long-term accumulation of a large number of marine floating garbage, and the water quality problems and white garbage problems were very prominent." When talking about the situation before the "Clean Sea Action", Liang Weixin said that in 2018, the provincial party Committee and the provincial government issued a military order, requiring two years to completely solve the transformation and upgrading of the sea.
Ningde’s "Clean Sea Action" was launched, and the municipal party committee and the municipal government made three heavy punches to launch a tough battle for comprehensive improvement of marine aquaculture.
One punch is "comprehensive and clear" and a new look is clear. Based on the environmental capacity of the sea area, the areas that can be raised, prohibited and restricted are strictly delineated to solve the problems of where, what, how much and how to raise them. Accumulated investment was 4.548 billion yuan, 1.427 million fishing rafts were retired and upgraded, 541,500 mu of shellfish culture facilities were built, and 165,000 tons of floating garbage were cleared.
Two fists "regulate and raise" to raise a new order. Break the old pattern of "who owns and uses the sea area in front of the village", make overall plans for coastal counties, townships and villages, and promote the issuance of the right to use the sea area that is mature and conforms to the sea use plan and the mudflat aquaculture certificate. Carry out "small to large" aquaculture cages and optimize the layout of aquaculture. Explore the "inside-out" of aquaculture cages, and the deep-sea aquaculture platform "Ningde No.1" was completed and launched.
Three punches "long-term management", managing a new atmosphere. Establish a scientific and practical long-term sea area management mechanism, and form a high-pressure situation of "breaking the outcrop and clearing the water" for illegal farming. Through grid management, 218 areas of responsibility for marine aquaculture management at the county, township and village levels are divided to consolidate their responsibilities.
Speaking of "Operation Qinghai", Wu Zhiguo, deputy director of the Bureau of Ocean and Fisheries of Jiaocheng District, recalled: "Only Jiaocheng District organized three special actions for 1,000 people, and ate more than 1,400 lunches at a time."
The work of "clearing the sea" and "Ningde model" are listed as a typical case of high-quality green development of aquaculture in China, and the National Development and Reform Commission has copied and promoted it as a typical experience of the National Ecological Civilization Experimental Zone.
The sea is clear, the water is clean and the water quality is getting better. "Today’s large yellow croaker is beautiful in strips, and its meat quality can be comparable to that of wild large yellow croaker." You Weide, the chairman of Ningde Guanjingyang Pseudosciaena crocea Culture Co., Ltd., built 84 large cages 24 meters square and 12 meters deep in Baiji Bay of Sandu ‘ao. He calculated an account for the reporter. After the transformation, the output of a single cage was 40 times higher than before, and the purchase price was increased from 15 yuan to 25 yuan per catty.
In 2022, the output of large yellow croaker in Ningde was 194,700 tons, which was sold all over the country and in 28 countries and regions. The output value of the whole industrial chain exceeded 10 billion yuan, driving 300,000 employees.
— — Tap the potential and turn the blue ocean into a golden sea.
In addition to aquaculture, Ningde shallow beach resources are vast, with an aquaculture area of 9.5 million mu, which is also an important space resource for marine development and utilization. During the reign of Ningde, the supreme leader comrade put forward that "Nian Hai Jing" should not only continue to catch marine fishing, but also tap the potential of beach culture.
May is the mature season of kelp. In the sea area of Sansha Town, Xiapu County, there are more than 10,000 bamboo poles on the beach, and ships full of kelp shuttle through it, which is seamless under the light and shadow.
"There is no fish in the beach, but it is a good field for cultivating seaweed and kelp." Lin Fei, member of the Standing Committee of Xiapu County Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department, said that Xiapu is a coastal county with the largest beach area in the province, and 11 of the 15 towns (streets) are near the sea, and the fishing population accounts for 64% of the county’s agricultural population. The cultivation and processing of kelp and laver is the economic pillar of the county, and it is also an industry that enriches the people.
The development of marine fishery in Ningde is flourishing, with a number of regional characteristics and advantages such as large yellow croaker, sea cucumber, abalone, kelp and laver. In 2022, the city’s aquatic product output was 1.073 million tons, and the fishery output value was 33.24 billion yuan, driving 600,000 employees.
The "May Day" holiday has passed, and Dongbei Village, Sansha Town, Xiapu County is still hot, with tourists coming and going.
"Now the county receives more than 7 million tourists every year." Zheng Dexiong, a national first-class photographer and president of Xiapu County B&B Industry Association, said that Xiapu came into public view as a "beach photography" that spread all over the country through camera lenses. The "cross-border" combination of photography and tourism has greatly enhanced the recognition of Xiapu beach.
Relying on the resources of ecology and mountains and seas, Xiapu County invested more than 16 million yuan to complete the construction of 11 photography spots such as Beiqi and Dongbi, and held 8 consecutive "Xiapu Na Pianhai in My Heart" international photography competition. Photographers from all over the country flocked to the city, which brought popularity and promoted the development of service industry. "Pick up the sea", "Live in one place" and "Neighbors" … … More than 400 homestays witnessed the butterfly change in this coastal county.
"Read well ‘ Shan Hai Jing ’ By making good use of the advantages and resources of the sea, we will find the direction and path of development. " Lin Linghua, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and mayor of Sansha Town, Xiapu County, said that in 2022, the county’s comprehensive tourism income exceeded 6 billion yuan, of which the homestay industry directly led to nearly 20,000 jobs.
Born by the sea, prospered by the sea. Adhere to the overall situation with high-quality development, focus on making up the shortcomings, adjust the imbalance of marine industrial structure, speed up the port infrastructure development, and press the fast forward button for Ningde marine development.
Green transformation — —
Promoting economic quality with high ecological value
In May of this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment reported and praised 22 cities at or above the prefecture level that achieved remarkable results in the field of ecological environment in 2022, and Ningde City was on the list.
However, it is such an "ecological top student" who once piled up rocks, floated garbage on the water surface and destroyed fields by flash floods … … Eco-environmental problems once became the suffering of people’s livelihood and the pain of people’s hearts in Ningde.
— — People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak will live up to people.
"Looking up at the barren hills, I am busy with food and clothing; The year-end pocket is tight, and parents are anxious. " In 1960s and 1970s, the local jingle simply and directly described the true face of ecological degradation, poverty and backwardness in Houyang Village, Qibu Town, zhouning county.
In 1983, Huang Zhenfang, then the accountant of Houyang Village Brigade, led the whole family to reclaim barren hills and lend money for afforestation under the guidance of the No.1 Document of the Central Committee, and developed the forest farm area from 50 mu to 1,207 mu in just three years.
From July 7, 1988 to January 3, 1989, the supreme leader comrade, then secretary of Ningde prefectural party committee, visited Huangzhenfang family forest farm in Houyang village for three times in less than half a year, praising Huang Zhenfang for "greening the barren hills and making outstanding contributions to the greening of eastern Fujian" and personally planting three fir trees.
"The potential of economic development in eastern Fujian lies in mountains and prosperity lies in forests." Comrade Supreme Leader traveled all over nine counties and cities under his jurisdiction, fully understood the local production, living and ecological conditions, and made strategic guidance for the future development of Ningde.
Zhang Miaoxiang, secretary of the Party branch of Houyang Village, said that there are now more than 7,300 mu of forest land in Houyang Village. Almost every family has a forest farm, and every piece of land is green.
The green concept has completely changed the face of Zhou Ning. At 9: 34 on May 10, the reporter observed on the real-time monitoring screen of air quality in Houyang Village that the number of negative oxygen ions in the air per cubic centimeter was 16,023, which was much higher than the standard of more than 2,000 stipulated by the World Health Organization. On March 16th this year, zhouning county was awarded the title of "China Natural Oxygen Bar" by China Meteorological Bureau.
Similar to the problem of Houyang Village, there is Xiadang Village in Shouning County. Because of poverty, villagers go to the mountains to cut wood and burn fires, and sell trees for money. The basis of production and life is the wood on the mountains, and no matter how many trees are planted, they will become "bald mountains".
"Now the forest coverage rate here has reached 81%, and the poor villages have become the punching places in online celebrity." Wang Guangchao, a villager in Xiadang Village, told reporters that he had a tourist meal when he started his business in his 60 s and opened a "happy teahouse" with a net income of tens of thousands of yuan a year.
— — Heal the ecological scar and start to be green.
What kind of scene will it be when the stream turns red and the water flows?
Tuoxi Township, Shouning County was once the main producing area of "Shouning Red" stone plate, and 30 stone processing enterprises have been set up here. However, because most factories were built near the stream, the production wastewater was discharged into the stream at will, and the Hexi River basin was dyed red, and the masses nicknamed it "red river valley".
Savage development has led to serious pollution of the ecological environment. Tuoxi Township has been listed as a single environmental protection township by Ningde Environmental Protection Bureau for more than 10 years.
In view of the outstanding problems, Ningde vigorously promoted the pollution control work of stone production enterprises, invested nearly 2 billion yuan, and shut down 671 stone processing enterprises that failed to meet the environmental standards in key ecological areas. Part of it was shut down and withdrawn, and part of it was transformed and upgraded. In view of the special needs of stone processing, the introduction of industrial sewage recycling system and the construction of standardized industrial parks have opened up the high-quality development path of traditional industries.
The pollution source problem was solved, and the "red river valley" disappeared, and the crane stream became clear again, and the ecological scar was slowly healed. Tuoxi relies on Hexi to upgrade and become a "cloud town" with beautiful ecology.
Ningde’s rectification effect on stone processing pollution and mine ecological damage has been promoted as a positive model by the Central Supervision Office throughout the country.
Ningde has also carried out special clean-up and rectification of hydropower stations, and 236 of the original 690 small hydropower stations have been withdrawn (merged) and 3 have been suspended for a long time; Accelerate the conversion of old and new kinetic energy, close 18 "strip steel" enterprises and resolve the production capacity of 4.07 million tons of steel; Promote the ecological improvement of tidal flat wetlands, and increase the total mangrove area in Sandu ‘ao Wetland Waterfowl Mangrove Nature Reserve to 138.5 hectares; A tough battle against Spartina alterniflora was launched, and the task of clearing 75,600 mu was completed in five months.
It is natural to extend pure environmental protection renovation to all important areas of urban planning, and to carry out ecological environmental protection construction in an all-round, all-regional and whole process, and to be at ease and give life vitality.
At present, in Ningde, the forest coverage rate is 69.98%, and the proportion of days with excellent air quality is as high as 99.9%. The water quality compliance rate of national examination sections of key river basins, major lakes and reservoirs and centralized drinking water sources at or above the county level is 100%, and the environmental quality of surface water ranks 25th in China, ranking first among coastal districts and cities.
— — Improve the living environment and realize the desired life.
"A wooden barrel with two boards and a three-foot earth wall around the four sides", such a simple facility is a true portrayal of rural toilets in the past. The same is true in Guanli Village, Gantang Town, Fu ‘an City.

Spiritual inheritance — —
Dripping water wears away the stone.
"Mindong is a land full of affection. Mindong has a group of conscientious cadres and lovely and respectable people. I am full of confidence and hope for the development of Jidong. " This is a farewell message from the supreme leader comrade who worked in Ningde for 1 year and 11 months to the leading cadres of Ningde local organs.
— — Happiness is written on the face of the boat people.
On the fisherman’s square in Xiaqi Village, Xiabaishi Town, Fu ‘an City, there is a fishing boat with a sense of time, which was once the only habitat for three generations of boatmen. In the 1990s, when the Supreme Leader was appointed as Deputy Secretary of Fujian Provincial Committee, he made every effort to promote the implementation of the "Benefit Project", and 2,310 fishermen in Xiaqi Village were put ashore. Jiang Chengcai, 57, is one of them.
After 30 years at sea, Jiang Chengcai’s skin was tanned, and the villagers affectionately called him "Black Brother". "I didn’t wear pants before I was 8 years old. A family of six people ate, drank and slept on a 14-square-meter fishing boat and barely made a living by fishing for small fish and shrimp." Brother Hei said, "It was the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader who changed the fate of our boat people." Looking back on the scene of landing at the beginning, this simple man in eastern Fujian was very excited. The government gave them training, literacy and work. Brother Hei said that he had done everything, such as raising sea otters and piling piles. Now he is engaged in fishing and breeding, and he also takes a construction team of more than 60 people.
The rich black brother volunteered to be the village Committee of Xiaqi Village, and was responsible for telling stories about their boat people getting rich. After reading the vicissitudes of life, that dark face is full of happiness.
— — Village Party Secretary with the word "Gong" engraved in his heart
Baiyang Village is located in the northwest of She nationality township in Xiamen, fuding city. In the early 1990s, the per capita income of villagers was less than that of 200 yuan, and the village collective debt was more than 400,000 yuan. It was at this time that Wang Zhouqi, who had been wandering outside for many years, saw the embarrassment of his hometown and resolutely put down his business and returned to Baiyang Village to work as a village party secretary for 27 years.
With the branch leading, Baiyang Village has seized major opportunities such as the start of Wenfu Railway and the landing of Ningde nuclear power project, attracting investment and establishing entities. After the Ningde nuclear power project landed, Baiyang Village planned to build a 500-mu industrial community, introduced eight enterprises to settle down, more than 1,300 people were transferred to jobs at their doorsteps, more than 100 villagers shared shares in the enterprises and paid dividends, and many farmers developed service industries around the park.
Wang Zhouqi recalled the difficulty of building a nuclear power contractor camp. "At that time, I didn’t have enough money, so I applied for a personal loan. For this reason, at the age of 60, I went to reissue a marriage certificate with my wife and loaned 3 million yuan."
Nowadays, in Baiyang Village, the per capita disposable income of the villagers is more than 35,000 yuan, and the annual income of the village collective exceeds 10 million yuan. Every year, the village takes out a considerable amount of funds to reward further studies and help the poor. Baiyang Village has become a national star village for well-off construction and a national demonstration village for rural governance.
The train runs fast, thanks to the headband. "Baiyang Village has a set of rural grassroots party building ‘ Five hearts ’ Working methods, one of which is to be fair. " Yang Shiling, secretary of the Party Committee of the She Nationality Township in Xiamen, said, "Only with public interests can we win the hearts of the people, and the old secretary Wang did it."
— — A contingent of cadres who provide "nanny service"
At the end of the interview with SAIC Ningde, the reporter asked if there were any difficulties in the development of the enterprise. Zhao Ronghua, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of SAIC Passenger Car Fujian Branch, replied without hesitation, "It is difficult to find the government." A simple sentence tells the sense of security and confidence of Ningde enterprises.
"We are babysitting for the enterprise." Liang Weixin said. For leading enterprises, one industry, one work class, one development plan, one set of investment promotion policies and a number of key tracking projects. For small and medium-sized enterprises, we should visit thousands of enterprises to promote development and establish a closed-loop mechanism for billing, assigning and feedback problems. "Implement investment promotion in the whole chain industry, enterprise services in the whole process, and all-round policy support."
In addition to special class services, there are also judicial services, judges stationed in enterprises, protecting property rights and creating a peaceful development environment for enterprises; There are also government services, with "micro" distance contact between government and enterprises and "zero" distance communication, so as to achieve "nothing is bothering and responsive".
Ningde pays attention to the introduction of high-quality urban resources into rural areas. City and county leaders are linked to key villages for rural revitalization, and the system of "one secretary and three officials" is implemented. More than 2,500 cadres, including the first secretary in the village, rural revitalization instructors, science and technology commissioners and financial assistants, have been sent to the front line of rural areas for classified guidance and precise policy.
During his work in Ningde, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that what does the development of poverty-stricken areas depend on? There are thousands of articles, and the most fundamental ones are only two: one is the leadership of the party; The second is the strength of the people. The "Four Grassroots Units" system was advocated and implemented by the General Secretary in Ningde that year. It is a Ningde version that connects the party’s leadership with the people and implements the party’s mass line. It has been adhered to and passed down by successive party committees and governments in Ningde.
17-month ignition test run of Zhongtong; The first car of SAIC Ningde base went offline in 14 months; Fuding Lithium Battery Base completed the approval of 2,064 mu of land in 7 days, and completed the land acquisition of more than 8,000 mu in 66 days, realizing the signing, construction and production in the same year … … The speed of Ningde is constantly being refreshed. Accidental things never happen by accident. Facing the challenge, the cadres in party member, Ningde, acted supreme and faced the difficulties, only to create one seemingly impossible miracle after another. Behind the speed of Ningde is the temperature and intensity of Ningde.
"Hard as stone, tender as water — — It can be seen that the stone is stubborn and the water is light. But after all, dripping water can wear through the stone, and water finally won. " Drip wears away the stone, which is the summary of the spirit of Mindong by General Secretary of the Supreme Leader. People who are kind, simple and self-reliant, entrepreneurs and leaders with hometown feelings, and party member cadres who are tenacious and dedicated to serving the public, have realized their dream of "flying first" and created a miracle of "wearing a stone" with their persistence all their lives and persistence from generation to generation.
In September 1988, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said in the article Random Thoughts on the Investigation of Nine Counties in Eastern Fujian, "There is no doubt that in the vast sky of developing commodity economy, eastern Fujian, which is currently very poor, is indeed a ‘ Weak bird ’ " However, "the weak bird is expected to fly first, and the poor may get rich first." Today, this "weak bird" in Mindong has really plumped up its wings and achieved phoenix nirvana.
"Every key node in the development of Ningde, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, has personally guided and determined the direction for us." Looking back 30 years, Ningde people are extremely proud to say. The leap-forward development of Ningde fully demonstrates the truth power and practical power of the supreme leader’s economic thought.
In the new era and new journey, we will strive to seize the multiple overlapping opportunities such as a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, focus on breaking through the development bottleneck caused by unique geographical environment and other factors, accelerate the digital transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and take new steps to promote high-quality development with new development concepts. The Ningde chapter of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way has begun.
