"Returning the blue sky and white clouds to the common people, twinkling stars", "Returning the scene of clear water and green shores, and fish flying shallow at the bottom", "Preserving the pastoral scenery of birds singing and flowers for the common people"
From winning the battle to defend the blue sky to the prevention and control of water pollution, the prevention and control of soil pollution, and the improvement of rural human settlements, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that it is necessary to solve outstanding ecological and environmental problems as a priority area for people's livelihood.
General Secretary's words are spoken in the hearts of the people. Let's follow the satellite perspective and observe the ecological changes in various parts of China over the years.
General Secretary said this:
Resolutely winning the battle to defend the blue sky is of utmost importance. We must take the significant improvement of air quality as a rigid requirement, strengthen joint prevention and control, basically eliminate heavy pollution weather, and bring back the blue sky, white clouds, and twinkling stars to the people.

Air quality directly affects the happiness of the people. In the past decade of the new era, the fight against pollution has gnawed through one tough bone after another, and China has become the country with the fastest speed in improving air quality globally. In 2022, the proportion of days with good air quality in prefecture level and above cities nationwide reached 86.5%, and the proportion of days with heavy pollution decreased to less than 1% for the first time.

In 2017, Shandong Iron and Steel Group Jigang Group Co., Ltd. shut down all steel production lines. With the green transformation of enterprises such as Jinan Iron and Steel, the spring city of Jinan, surrounded by lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, with mountains and lakes on one side and half on the other, is gradually getting rid of the haze, and there are more and more blue skies and white clouds.
General Secretary said this:
We need to deeply implement the action plan for water pollution prevention and control, ensure the safety of drinking water, basically eliminate urban black and odorous water bodies, and give the people a clear and green shore and a shallow bottom with fish swimming.

Water is the foundation of survival and the source of civilization. Coordinated management of water resources, water environment, and water ecology has transformed rivers and lakes one by one. In 2022, the proportion of high-quality surface water sections in China has risen to 87.9%, approaching the level of developed countries. The proportion of high-quality nearshore waters in China has reached 81.9%.

In the new decade, the water quality of the Taihu Lake Lake has remained stable at Class IV. All 15 main rivers entering the lake reach or exceed Class III, of which 4 reach Class II. In 2022, the occurrence frequency, area and density of cyanobacteria in the Taihu Lake Lake are the second lowest since 2016, and the occurrence frequency of abnormal water body is the lowest in recent 10 years.
General Secretary said this:
We need to fully implement the action plan for soil pollution prevention and control, highlight key regions, industries, and pollutants, strengthen soil pollution control and remediation, effectively prevent risks, and ensure that the people can eat with peace of mind and live with peace of mind.

In 2019, China's first Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law was implemented, providing legal protection for soil pollution prevention and control work. Over the years, China has established a national soil environment monitoring network covering 80000 sites, achieving full coverage of soil environment quality monitoring sites in all counties; Through a dual approach of "source remediation" and "safe utilization", the safe utilization rate of polluted farmland and polluted land in China have both exceeded 90%.

Bai Ping Village, Jinsha County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province, was home to sulfur plants of all sizes 30 years ago. Some of the land's sulfur content exceeded the standard, severely affecting the crops grown by surrounding farmers and causing serious damage to the ecological environment. Since 2013, after years of environmental governance and ecological restoration, Baiping Village has now achieved a forest coverage rate of 75% and developed 8000 acres of traditional Chinese medicine cultivation. The "sulfur mining area" has gradually transformed from a "black impression" to a "green tone", and from a "mining scar" to a "traditional Chinese medicine park".
General Secretary said this:
We will continue to carry out actions to improve the rural living environment, create beautiful countryside, and retain the idyllic scenery of birds singing and flowers for the people.
[Data shows changes]
As of the end of 2021, the popularization rate of rural sanitary toilets in China has exceeded 70%, and the proportion of natural villages that collect and dispose of rural household waste has remained stable at over 90%. The phenomenon of disorderly discharge of rural domestic sewage has been basically controlled. The national rural tap water penetration rate will reach 87% in 2022. Various regions combine the excavation of the original ecological village style with the introduction of modern elements to create distinctive modern versions of the "Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Map".

Thanks to the guidance of the "Ten Million Project", in recent years, Xiajiang Village in Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province has transformed from a "poor mountain ditch" to a "green, rich, and beautiful" village. Walking in the village, one can see the distant mountains containing Dai, the murmuring streams, the spotless stone roads, and the scattered small buildings. At present, the forest coverage rate of Xiajiang Village exceeds 90%, and it has successfully created a national 4A level tourist attraction.
"I hope that the blue sky is always present, the green mountains are always present, and the green water is always present, so that the children can live in a good ecological environment..." General Secretary Xi Jinping said this affectionately more than once.
A good ecological environment is the most inclusive welfare for people's livelihoods.
