A history of China is a history of the integration of various ethnic groups into a pluralistic and integrated Chinese nation, and a history of all ethnic groups jointly creating, developing, and consolidating a unified great motherland. Since the day of its founding, our party has attached great importance to ethnic work and correctly handled ethnic relations.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has put forward a major original thesis on forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, made a series of major decisions and arrangements on ethnic work, and promoted the cause of ethnic unity and progress on the mainland to achieve new historic achievements. The sons and daughters of all ethnic groups are holding hands and shoulder to shoulder, uniting and striving for the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation in an all-round way with Chinese-style modernization.
Raising the flag and orienting: "Forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation is the main line of the party's ethnic work in the new era, and it is also the main line of all work in ethnic areas"
The northwest land, the mountains and rivers are vast, and the scenery is magnificent. The sons and daughters of all ethnic groups live together in this beautiful and rich land.
In June this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Qinghai and Ningxia. Focusing on the main line of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "National unity is very important, and our 56 ethnic groups must hug each other tightly like pomegranate seeds. When the 56 ethnic groups are united, they are the community of the Chinese nation, and the Chinese nation is one big family. ”
Our great motherland has a vast territory and a long civilization, and the pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation is a rich legacy left to us by our ancestors, and it is also a huge advantage for the mainland's development.
Entering a new era, the cause of national unity and progress has ushered in new opportunities, but also faces new challenges:
Looking at China, the breadth and depth of exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups are unprecedented, and the distribution pattern of ethnic groups has undergone major changes.
Looking at the world, the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and is undergoing major adjustments, major differentiations, and major restructurings, with increasing uncertain, unstable, and unpredictable factors.
In the face of the new situation and new challenges, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "To realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must take the sense of community of the Chinese nation as the main line and take the cause of national unity and progress as the basic cause. ”
This is the guidance of far-sighted thought -
In May 2014, the second Central Xinjiang Work Symposium was held, and General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly put forward the "sense of community of the Chinese nation". At the Central Ethnic Work Conference held in September of the same year, General Secretary Xi Jinping further emphasized "insisting on laying a solid ideological foundation for the community of the Chinese nation".
Since then, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly expounded on the major original thesis of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation.
In 2017, in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was emphasized that "the sense of community of the Chinese nation should be strengthened, and exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups should be strengthened".
In 2019, at the National Commendation Conference for National Unity and Progress, he pioneered the historical concept of the Chinese nation with the sense of community of the Chinese nation as the main line and the "four commons";
In 2021, at the Central Ethnic Work Conference, the sense of community of the Chinese nation was raised to the height of the "program" of the party's ethnic work in the new era, emphasizing that "all work should be focused on this";
In 2023, during his inspection in Inner Mongolia and listening to work reports in Xinjiang, he stressed that "forging a strong sense of Chinese national community is the main line of the Party's ethnic work in the new era, and it is also the main line of all work in ethnic areas";
……
In the great practice of leading the party's ethnic work in the new era to achieve historic achievements, General Secretary Xi Jinping combined Marxist ethnic theory with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture, put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies, formed General Secretary Xi Jinping's important ideas on strengthening and improving ethnic work, and became an ideological weapon for the party's ethnic work to fulfill new missions and complete new tasks in the new era and new journey.
This is a sincere concern -
General Secretary Xi Jinping said emotionally: "I have had face-to-face exchanges with people of all ethnic groups many times and have received many letters from people of all ethnic groups. This is a vivid portrayal of the cause of ethnic unity and progress on the mainland in the new era, and it is also a distinctive feature of the innovation and promotion of ethnic work in the new era. ”
In Shibadong Village, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the concept of "targeted poverty alleviation" for the first time; In the hinterland of Daliang Mountain in Sichuan, the general secretary walked into the homes of poor Yi ethnic households, sat by the fire pond with villager representatives and members of the poverty alleviation team stationed in the village, and planned precise poverty alleviation strategies; In Ma'anshan Village, Henan Street, Chifeng City, Mongolia, the general secretary walked into the "multi-ethnic home" of the four generations in the same house and had cordial exchanges with the villagers; In Tibet, the general secretary pointed out that "we are a community of the Chinese nation, and we must work together to achieve the second centenary goal". In Xinjiang, the general secretary stressed that "China with great unity of all ethnic groups must be invincible and have a bright future......
From the roof of the world to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, from the southwestern mountains to the grasslands of the northern part of the country, General Secretary Xi Jinping has gone deep into the hearts of the people of all ethnic groups, listened to their voices, talked about the development of ethnic areas, and promoted the sense of community of the Chinese nation to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This is a systematic and comprehensive working practice -
In October 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the ninth collective study of the Political Bureau of the 20th CPC Central Committee: "It is the common task of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and promote the high-quality development of the party's ethnic work in the new era." ”
Continuously strengthen and improve the party's overall leadership over ethnic work, and form a new era of the party's ethnic work pattern in which the party committee is under unified leadership, the government manages according to law, the united front work department takes the lead and coordinates, the ethnic affairs department fulfills its duties, all departments work together, and the whole society participates...... Party committees and governments at all levels adhere to the correct path of resolving ethnic issues with Chinese characteristics, conscientiously implement the party's principles and policies on ethnic work, and promptly study and resolve major issues related to ethnic work in their own regions and units.
Leading cadres at all levels have thoroughly studied and implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's important ideas on strengthening and improving ethnic work, improved their ability to do ethnic work well, and contributed to advancing the cause of ethnic unity and progress.
A series of important works such as "Selected Readings of Xi Jinping's Works" and "Xi Jinping on Governing the Country" have promoted the party's innovative theories to enter Hemei villages and reach the border country, and have become authoritative readings for the masses of all ethnic groups to deeply understand the power of thought.
On the new journey, with the sense of community of the Chinese nation as the main line, the party's national work in the new era has gathered a strong joint force and gathered majestic strength.
Solidarity: "Helping peoples embrace each other like pomegranate seeds"
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has made overall plans and promoted the Party's ethnic work in the new era, promoted all ethnic groups to embrace each other tightly like pomegranate seeds, and promoted the Chinese nation to become a community with a shared future with a higher degree of identity and stronger cohesion.
People's livelihood is the foundation, and the lives of people of all ethnic groups have ushered in a new look——
Dulongjiang Township, Dulong Nu Autonomous County, Gongshan, Yunnan Province, a place where General Secretary Xi Jinping is concerned.
On the eve of New Year's Day in 2014, the cadres and masses of Gongshan County sent a letter to General Secretary Xi Jinping, reporting the good news that the Dulongjiang Highway Tunnel in Gaoligong Mountain, which had been longed for many years, was about to break through.
A year later, with the concern for the cadres and masses in Gongshan County, especially the Dulong villagers, General Secretary Xi Jinping took time out of his tense trip to Yunnan to take the five cadres and two Dulong women who wrote the letter to Kunming to meet, and pointed out: "The Communist Party of China cares about the development and construction of all ethnic groups, and the people of all ethnic groups across the country must work together and struggle together to achieve a well-off life in an all-round way." ”
In 2018, the Dulong ethnic group was lifted out of poverty. In April 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping happily replied to the letter, encouraging the Dulong people to "get rid of poverty is only the first step, and better days are yet to come".
Nowadays, from the newly installed new energy vehicle charging piles, to the 5G signal covering the whole township, to the booming characteristic industries, the life of the Dulong people who "cross the millennium in one step" is getting better and better.
The great changes of the Dulong people are the epitome of the people of all ethnic groups moving towards a better life. In Ningxia, the money bags of the people in Xihaigu are getting bigger and bigger day by day; In Inner Mongolia, short video shooting has become a new fashion for people in agricultural and pastoral areas; In Guizhou, various measures have been taken to enable the relocated people to integrate into the new environment in the city...... By adhering to the people-centered development philosophy, the sense of gain, happiness and security of the people of all ethnic groups will be more fulfilling, more secure and more sustainable.
Work together to achieve a new leap forward in economic and social development——
In autumn, in the valley of the Brahmaputra River, the Fuxing train on the Lalin Railway roars by.
In July 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Tibet and came to Nyingchi Railway Station, an important hub station of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway, to learn about the overall planning of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway and the construction and operation of the Lhasa-Nyingchi section. The general secretary emphasized that "play a key role in scientific and technological innovation", "your planning is very scientific, the whole section is advancing, and I am very excited to see it", "the spirit of 'two roads' must continue to be carried forward, dare to fight, and take it down one by one." If you want to do it, you will do it well......
It's not just the road. The overall proportion of clean energy in the power grid exceeds 90%, the electrification rate of administrative villages has reached 100%, and ecological and environmental protection lifestyles have become popular...... With the vigorous support of the people of the whole country and the united efforts of the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in Tibet, Tibet has entered a historical period in which the best development, the greatest changes, and the greatest benefits for the masses.
Looking at ethnic areas, from the full use of water, scenery and resources to be converted into clean energy and sent to the north and south of the country, to the vigorous development of the digital economy, which is in the ascendant and has become a new business card of the industry, and then to batches of brand products going abroad and going to the world, the high-quality development of ethnic areas has more confidence, better quality, and more confidence.
As a family, national unity and progress present a new atmosphere——
Adults danced and children frolicked...... In the evening, the small square in front of the New Era Civilization Practice Station of the Great Wall Garden Community, Jinfeng District, Yinchuan City, Ningxia City was lively.
"Whether it's the Dragon Boat Festival or the Eid al-Adha Festival, the residents of our community will bring their own special food and gather together to celebrate. Everyone is happy as a family. Residents of the community said.
The community in which people of all ethnic groups live together is not only a warm home for people to live and work in peace and contentment, but also a powerful bond for uniting the people of all ethnic groups and promoting national unity and progress.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed the need to "continuously broaden the practical path of all-round embedding of all ethnic groups".
The Chinese family has a deep and long meaning. Since the new era, all localities have promoted the establishment of a mutually embedded social structure and community environment, and the pattern of "you have me, I have you" has been continuously consolidated, guided by "mutual embeddedness", the demonstration of national unity and progress has been carried out in depth, and expanded to enterprises, villages, institutions, communities, schools, etc., and the three plans for exchanges and exchanges of various ethnic groups have been further promoted, and there are countless good stories of ethnic unity and family.
Diversity and unity, Chinese culture continues to rejuvenate
Painted pottery of different forms, copper coins unearthed from Xinjiang...... Located in the National Cultural Palace on West Chang'an Avenue in Beijing, the exhibition of cultural relics and ancient books that forge the sense of community of the Chinese nation attracts visitors from all over the world. In the exhibition hall, more than 1,500 pieces of cultural relics and ancient books have passed through thousands of years, witnessing the historical context of the continuous development and growth of the Chinese nation and the continuous vitality of Chinese civilization in the exchange and integration.
"Hug each other tightly like pomegranate seeds" and "The big family of the Chinese nation is connected by blood and shares a common destiny...... In the guest book, every sentence is so simple and sincere.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Culture is the soul of a nation, and cultural identity is the root of national unity. ”
The National Ethnic Minority Traditional Sports Games and the National Ethnic Minority Art and Art Performances have set up a stage for all ethnic groups to display their style, exchange and learn from each other, and blend emotions; The "Theme Cultural Activities for the Construction of a Common Spiritual Home for the Chinese Nation" went to Guizhou, Yunnan, Zhejiang and other places to promote more innovative and integrated cultures of various ethnic groups through forms that the masses like to see; Representatives of children of all ethnic groups participated in a series of activities such as the "Pomegranate Seed Motherland Tour" theme team day and the "Salute to the National Flag", and the sense of community of the Chinese nation was rooted in their hearts...... A series of pragmatic measures have made the work of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation more tangible and effective, stimulated the vitality of Chinese culture, and built a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation.
Together for the future: "To build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, no nation should be left behind"
The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held in July this year drew up a grand blueprint for further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization. The "Decision" of the Plenum proposed: "Improve the institutional mechanism for forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation and enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation." ”
The future is great, and the future is promising.
"We must hold high the banner of the great unity of the Chinese nation and take the promotion of all ethnic groups to work together for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country as an important task of the party's national work in the new journey." General Secretary Xi Jinping's words are sonorous and powerful.
To promote the high-quality development of the party's ethnic work in the new era, it is necessary to promote extensive exchanges, exchanges and integration of all ethnic groups, and gather the strength of all ethnic groups to work together in unity and common prosperity and development——
In December 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Guangxi, came to Panlong Community, Liangqing District, Nanning City, and pointed out that "we should start from the grassroots community, and create a strong atmosphere of family affinity for people of all ethnic groups through solid community construction, effective community services, and rich community activities, so as to make national unity better."
Nowadays, in the Panlong community, residents spontaneously form a choir and gather every week to bring their own ethnic instruments to practice choral singing. The community has also carried out interactive and immersive activities such as family reading, ethnic songs and dances, and parenting classes to promote more exchanges and exchanges among people of all ethnic groups.
Exchanges, exchanges and blending are the only way to enhance national unity, forge a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation, and promote the building of a community of the Chinese nation.
On the new journey, it is necessary to further promote the flow and integration of the population of all ethnic groups, create social conditions for the people of all ethnic groups to live and study together, build and share together, and work and enjoy together, promote the all-round embedding of all ethnic groups in space, culture, economy, society, psychology, etc., and constantly expand the breadth and depth of exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups, and gather a strong joint force of all ethnic groups to work hard and forge ahead.
To promote the high-quality development of the party's ethnic work in the new era, we must continue to build a common spiritual home for the Chinese nation and further enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation——
In July 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was on an inspection tour in Xinjiang, came to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum.
Thousands of years of civilization treasures, dazzling. General Secretary Xi Jinping was deeply touched: "The Chinese civilization is broad and profound, with a long history, and is formed by the convergence of the excellent cultures of various ethnic groups. ”
Cultural identity is the deepest level of identity. Standing at a new historical starting point, the construction of a spiritual home must be done for a long time.
Build a normalized mechanism for publicity and education to forge the sense of community of the Chinese nation, strengthen education on the party's theories, lines, principles and policies for the masses of all ethnic groups, forge the soul with common ideals and beliefs, and deeply cultivate and practice the core socialist values;
In-depth implementation of the red gene inheritance project, vigorously carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core, the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, in-depth excavation of the vivid stories of the people of all ethnic groups feeling the party's kindness, listening to the party's words, and following the party, and constantly enhance the sense of identity and pride in the Chinese nation;
Implement the project of inheritance and development of excellent traditional Chinese culture, study and excavate the excellent genes and values of traditional Chinese culture, establish and highlight the symbols of Chinese culture and the image of the Chinese nation shared by all ethnic groups, and continuously enhance the recognition of Chinese culture by the people of all ethnic groups;
……
A series of measures conform to the general trend of the development of the Chinese nation from history to the future, from tradition to modernity, and from diversity and cohesion, and have laid a more solid spiritual and cultural foundation for forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation.
To promote the high-quality development of the Party's ethnic work in the new era, we must solidly promote the realization of common prosperity and let the people of all ethnic groups jointly build and share Chinese-style modernization——
In June 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Inner Mongolia. The general secretary stressed: "From the perspective of the whole country, the most arduous task of promoting common prosperity for all the people lies in some border ethnic areas. These border ethnic areas must not be left behind on the road to common prosperity. ”
In April this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on promoting the development of the western region in the new era, emphasizing: "We will further promote the action of rejuvenating the border and enriching the people in the new era, strengthen the construction of infrastructure and public service facilities in border areas, develop border tourism and other industries, and strive to achieve prosperity for the border people, beautiful border customs, border stability, and border defense." ”
The Chinese nation is a big family, and all the family members must live a good life. From a well-off society in an all-round way to a common prosperity, the belief and determination of the people of all ethnic groups and ethnic minority areas to "not be left behind" have been consistent.
Embarking on a new journey, we must let the people of all ethnic groups truly feel that the promotion of common prosperity is in action and around us, so that the community of the Chinese nation will be more unbreakable.
The Chinese nation has been forged through exchanges and blending of various ethnic groups, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will also be realized through exchanges and blending of various ethnic groups.
Standing at a new historical starting point, we will unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, adhere to the main line of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, and promote the high-quality development of the Party's ethnic work in the new era.
