Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, China's ecological civilization construction has entered a new journey. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that we must stand at a higher strategic height, with a broader vision and greater determination, comprehensively promote ecological and environmental protection work, and strive to create a new situation in the construction of ecological civilization in the new era. The whole country has responded actively, firmly established and practiced the green development concept that green waters and lush mountains are valuable assets, adhered to the integrated protection and systematic management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, laid a solid green foundation for high-quality development, and comprehensively promoted the relationship between man and nature. The modernization process of harmonious symbiosis.

In the hot summer, Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm is a busy scene. Workers are busy planting trees and adding new green to the land. It is reported that by 2024, the forest farm plans to cultivate 5 million improved seedlings and create 20,000 acres of mixed forest. Today, Saihanba's forest coverage rate has reached 82%, and the total value of forest resources is as high as 23.12 billion yuan. This is not only a model of green ecology, but also a vivid epitome of the achievements of ecological civilization construction.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally deployed and promoted the construction of ecological civilization, and his footprints have spread all over the country, both inside and outside the Great Wall. He conducted an in-depth inspection of the natural environment such as mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass, and sand, and emphasized the need to deeply understand and implement the concept of ecological civilization. Especially when inspecting Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm, he proposed to inherit the spirit of Saihanba, adhere to green development, and promote the construction of ecological civilization to continuously achieve new results.

With the joint efforts of the whole country, China's ecological civilization construction has achieved remarkable results. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has completed a total of 1.68 billion acres of land greening area, and the forest coverage rate has increased from 21.63% to 24.02%. At the same time, my country's artificial forest area has reached 1.314 billion acres, ranking first in the world. Behind these figures are the hard work and firm belief of countless ecological workers, as well as the common pursuit and expectation of people of all ethnic groups across the country for a better ecological environment.

On the new journey, China will continue to unswervingly promote the construction of ecological civilization. We will persevere and work hard for a long time, continue to plant a green background, and build a beautiful China. I believe that in the near future, a beautiful China with bluer sky, greener ground, clearer water and more beautiful environment will be presented to the world.Editor/Cheng Ting
