　　At noon on the 24th, when the Supreme Leader got off the plane, he went to the Yichang New Materials Industrial Park of Xingfa Group to inspect the relocation and transformation of chemical enterprises and the greening of the wharf. Xingfa Group is the largest fine phosphorus chemical enterprise in China and the largest immigrant relocation enterprise in the Three Gorges reservoir area. The original production facilities and docks built by Linjiang in the Group Park have been relocated and demolished, freeing up 950 meters of coastline and more than 800 mu of concession land, and completing comprehensive greening. The exhibition boards placed at the relocation and greening site show the overall situation of the relocation and pollution control of chemical enterprises in Hubei Province and Yichang City. The supreme leader listened carefully to the report and talked with local responsible comrades on relevant issues from time to time. He walked into the central control room of the group, inspected the operation of the production workshop of the enterprise in real time through the big screen, listened to the report on the implementation of technological transformation and industrial upgrading, planning and construction of circular industry, and had a cordial conversation with the on-site technicians. The supreme leader also walked to the ramp of the wharf along the river to observe the demolition of facilities along the river, the greening of the wharf and the renovation of sewage outlets. He emphasized that the Yangtze River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and must be protected. Enterprises are the main body and important force in the construction of ecological environment protection in the Yangtze River. It is necessary to strengthen corporate responsibility, speed up technological transformation, eliminate backward production capacity, develop cleaner production, and enhance the capacity of ecological environment protection construction of enterprises. We must make up our minds to move out all the polluting enterprises along the Yangtze River. When moving enterprises, we must clear people, equipment, garbage and land, and completely eradicate the hidden dangers of pollution in the Yangtze River. We must persist in putting the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an important position to promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and make great efforts to protect it.Do not engage in large-scale development. Not to engage in large-scale development does not mean not to engage in development, but not to engage in destructive development, and to take the road of ecological priority and green development.

　　On the afternoon of 24th, the Supreme Leader came to the Three Gorges Dam Area to inspect the Three Gorges Project and the surrounding ecological environment. The Three Gorges Project is world-famous, and it is by far the largest water control project and the most comprehensive hydropower project in the world. At the top of the Three Gorges Dam, the supreme leader looked up and saw the magnificent dam body, the rippling river surface and the lush river bank. Before introducing the pictures and data display boards of the development process, comprehensive benefits and scientific and technological innovation of the Three Gorges Project, the top leaders listened to the report of the person in charge of the Three Gorges Group and discussed with you about the development of the Three Gorges Project. Later, the supreme leader came to the head of the dam on the left bank to listen to the introduction of the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River and the protection of rare plants. The Supreme Leader walked into the demonstration garden of rare plants, where there were lush vegetation and flowers. He personally cultivated and watered a newly planted nanmu tree. The distant mountains are like Dai, and the drizzle is raining. The supreme leader came to the third lock head and the ship lift platform of the double-line five-level ship lock in light rain to learn about shipping management.

　　The Three Gorges Hydropower Station is the largest hydropower station in the world at present, and its power is sent to Central China, East China and Guangdong around the clock. The supreme leader came to the left bank power station of the dam to inspect the operation of the generator set, learn about the power generation benefits and power grid safety monitoring of the Three Gorges Power Station, and have cordial exchanges with technicians, model workers and staff representatives. Outside the power station, the employees who heard the news gathered around the general secretary and cheered and said hello to the general secretary. The Supreme Leader told everyone with deep affection that the Three Gorges Project is a heavy weapon of the country, which was created by the hard work and self-reliance of laborers. After reading it, it was very exciting. The successful completion and operation of the Three Gorges Project has made the dream of developing and utilizing the Three Gorges resources in Chinese come true for generations and become an important symbol of China’s development since the reform and opening up. This is a model of the superiority of China’s socialist system to concentrate on doing great things, the wisdom and creativity of Chinese people, and the growing prosperity of the Chinese nation. The real power and weapon must be in our own hands. The core technology and key technology can’t be transformed, and we have to work hard on our own. More than 1.3 billion people in China want Qi Xin to make concerted efforts to realize the Chinese dream!

　　In the early morning of the 25th, the Supreme Leader took a boat to Jingzhou Port Wharf in Jingzhou City to inspect the ecological environment, development and construction on both sides of the Yangtze River. On the way, the top leaders respectively listened to reports from Hubei Province and Jingzhou City on the regulation of illegal docks, and listened to reports from the Ministry of Transport on the navigation and waterway regulation of the Yangtze River and the Ministry of Water Resources on river regime control and bank protection projects.

　　At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, the ship arrived at Shishou Port in Jingzhou, and the top leader landed and took a bus to the Hualong Wharf in Junshan, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, to see the situation of illegal gravel wharf banning and remediation, and wetland restoration. Junshan Hualong Wharf is located in the main stream of the Yangtze River. This illegal gravel wharf, which used to have cross-flow of sewage, has taken on a new look after renovation, greening and wetland restoration. The supreme leader walked into the patrol monitoring station of East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve to check the real-time monitoring system. The reeds in the wetland are shaded, and the finless porpoises in the river are full of vitality. He said that restoring the ecological environment of the Yangtze River is an arduous task entrusted to us by the new era and is also the ardent expectation of the people. The urgent task is to stop disorderly development, limit the total amount of sewage discharge, and crack down on illegal sewage discharge, illegal sand mining and other acts that destroy coastal ecology strictly and quickly according to law. We will never allow the ecological environment of the Yangtze River to continue to deteriorate in the hands of our generation, and we must leave a clean and beautiful Yangtze River for future generations!

　　In Yueyang City, the Supreme Leader also visited Chenglingji Hydrological Station to learn about the comprehensive monitoring and management of water resources, disaster prevention and mitigation in Hunan section of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake basin.

　　On the afternoon of 26th, the Supreme Leader presided over a symposium to further promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Seven comrades, including He Lifeng, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Li Ganjie, Minister of Ecology and Environment, Li Xiaopeng, Minister of Transportation, E Jingping, Minister of Water Resources, Chen Miner, Secretary of Chongqing Municipal Committee, Jiang Chaoliang, Secretary of Hubei Provincial Committee, and Li Qiang, Secretary of Shanghai Municipal Committee, spoke successively, reporting their work experiences from different angles and putting forward opinions and suggestions.

　　After listening to everyone’s speeches, the Supreme Leader made an important speech. He emphasized that, on the whole, efforts should be made to implement the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. We must consider the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, put the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an overwhelming position, make great efforts to protect the Yangtze River instead of developing it, and strive to build the Yangtze River Economic Belt into a golden economic belt with more beautiful ecology, smoother traffic, more coordinated economy, more unified market and more scientific mechanism, and explore a new path of ecological priority and green development.

　　The Supreme Leader pointed out that over the past two years, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, relevant departments and provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have done a lot of work and made positive progress in strengthening top-level design, improving ecological environment, promoting transformation and development, and exploring institutional and institutional reforms. At the same time, we should also be soberly aware of the difficulties, challenges and outstanding problems we face. For example, there are still some one-sided understanding of the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the ecological environment situation is still grim, the cooperative protection system and mechanism of the ecological environment need to be established and improved urgently, the imbalance and uncoordinated development of river basins is prominent, and the subjective initiative of relevant parties needs to be improved.

　　The supreme leader clearly put forward five relations that need to be correctly grasped to promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

　　First, correctly grasp the relationship between overall promotion and key breakthroughs, and comprehensively do a good job in the protection and restoration of the Yangtze River ecological environment. To promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the premise is to adhere to ecological priority. It is necessary to focus on the integrity of the ecosystem and the systematicness of the Yangtze River basin, coordinate ecological elements such as landscapes, forests, fields, lakes and grasses, and implement ecological restoration and environmental protection projects. It is necessary to adhere to the overall promotion, enhance the relevance and coupling of various measures, and prevent the heavy and light, single-handedly rushing, and paying attention to one thing. It is necessary to adhere to key breakthroughs, grasp the main aspects of major contradictions and contradictions on the basis of overall promotion, and strive to achieve the overall and local matching, the combination of radical treatment and palliative treatment, the convergence of gradual progress and breakthrough, and realize the unity of overall promotion and key breakthroughs.

　　Second, correctly grasp the relationship between ecological environmental protection and economic development, and explore new ways to jointly promote ecological priority and green development. To promote the green development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the key is to handle the relationship between green mountains and green hills and Jinshan Yinshan. This is not only an inherent requirement to achieve sustainable development, but also a major principle to promote modernization. Ecological environmental protection and economic development are not contradictory, but dialectical unity. In the final analysis, the success or failure of ecological environment protection depends on the economic structure and economic development mode. We must adhere to protection in development and development in protection, and we must not separate ecological environmental protection from economic development, let alone oppose it.

　　Third, correctly grasp the relationship between overall planning and long-term success, and unswervingly carry out a blueprint to the end. Promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is a systematic project, and it is impossible to accomplish all its tasks in one battle. It is necessary to do a good job in the top-level design, and grasp the results in a down-to-earth manner with the spirit of nailing. It is necessary to further promote the implementation of the Outline of the Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Plan, organize a mid-term evaluation of the Outline of the Plan in light of the implementation situation and the new changes in the development environment at home and abroad, and adjust and improve the planning content according to the new situation and new requirements. It is necessary to formulate a clear timetable and road map for achieving the established goals, and make steady and steady progress step by step.

　　Fourth, correctly grasp the relationship between breaking old kinetic energy and cultivating new kinetic energy, and promote the construction of a modern economic system in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The driving force of development determines the speed, efficiency and sustainability of development. It is necessary to solidly promote the structural reform of the supply side, promote the transformation of the development momentum of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and build a modern economic system. With the determination of a strong man to break his wrist and scrape the bones to heal the wounds, we should actively and steadily retreat to resolve the old kinetic energy, get rid of the ineffective supply, completely abandon the old road dominated by investment and factor input, create conditions and leave room for the development of new kinetic energy, and realize the change of birds and the nirvana of the phoenix.

　　Fifth, correctly grasp the relationship between self-development and coordinated development, and strive to build the Yangtze River Economic Belt into an organically integrated and efficient economy. As a basin economy, the Yangtze River Economic Belt involves many aspects such as water, roads, ports, shores, production and cities. It is necessary to correctly grasp the relationship between its own development and coordinated development by using the method of system theory. Every region and city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt must set out from the whole in their respective development process, establish the idea of "playing a chess game", realize dislocation development, coordinated development and organic integration, and form an overall resultant force.

　　The Supreme Leader stressed that the relevant departments and the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River should conscientiously implement the overall arrangements and work arrangements of the CPC Central Committee to promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, strengthen organizational leadership, mobilize all forces, strengthen institutional mechanisms, stimulate endogenous motivation, strengthen confidence, be brave in taking responsibility, grasp the iron trace, step on the stone and leave a seal, do a good job, and work together to implement the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

　　In his speech, Han Zheng said that it is necessary to thoroughly study and understand the important strategic thinking of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, deeply understand the great significance of jointly protecting and not developing, and strengthen the ideological consciousness and action consciousness of jointly protecting. It is necessary to highlight the key points of work, focus on continuously improving the water quality of the Yangtze River, and solidly promote the "three-water treatment" of water pollution control, water ecological restoration and water resources protection. It is necessary to strengthen system governance, strengthen the construction of monitoring system for sewage outlets entering the river, implement cross-section water quality monitoring and early warning jointly, and strengthen the integrity of joint protection. It is necessary to improve the system and mechanism, give play to the role of regional consultation and cooperation mechanism, establish and improve the long-term mechanism of ecological compensation and protection, and strengthen the synergy of joint protection.

　　Ding Xuexiang, Liu He, He Lifeng, responsible comrades of relevant departments of the central and state organs, and responsible comrades of relevant provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities accompanied the inspection and participated in the forum.
