20 years of concern, the general secretary’s reply
On May 30, students at Zhijiang Primary School in Jialing District, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province received a special Children's Day gift - a reply letter from General Secretary Xi Jinping.
Behind this reply is a warm relationship that was forged 20 years ago.
Zhijiang Primary School was formerly a primary school in a mountainous area in Jialing District, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. The mountains are high and the roads are steep, and the school buildings are old.
In 2004, the school was relocated with the assistance of its counterparts in Zhejiang Province. Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, laid the foundation for the school in May of the same year. The school was officially put into use in September 2005. In order to thank Zhejiang for its assistance in construction, the school was also named "Zhijiang Primary School".
In the past 20 years, with the care of the General Secretary and the support of Zhejiang counterparts, the school has undergone earth-shaking changes. It has complete software and hardware facilities and has become one of the schools with the best teaching environment in the local area. There are currently 287 primary school students in the school.
Since 2005, the school has designated May 17th as "Thanksgiving" every year. Since then, it has become a tradition to write a letter of thanksgiving every year. Recently, all the students in the fifth grade class of Zhijiang Primary School wrote a letter to General Secretary Xi, reporting on their study and life situation, expressing their gratitude and determination to be good young people in the new era.
