掀起造林綠化熱潮 繪出美麗中國的更新畫卷

新華社北京4月4日電 中共中央總書記、國家主席、中央軍委主席習(xí)近平4日上午在參加首都義務(wù)植樹活動時強調(diào)，人勤春來早，植綠正當(dāng)時。每年這個時候，我國從南到北漸次掀起造林綠化的熱潮。今天，我們一起參加植樹，就是號召大家都行動起來，既在廣袤祖國大地上種下片片綠色，也在廣大人民心中播撒綠色種子，共同迎接希望的春天，共同建設(shè)美麗中國。

京郊大地，春雨飄飄，春意盎然。上午10時30分許，黨和國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人習(xí)近平、李強、趙樂際、王滬寧、蔡奇、丁薛祥、李希、韓正等集體乘車，冒雨來到位于北京市朝陽區(qū)東壩中心公園的植樹點，同首都群眾一起參加義務(wù)植樹。

植樹點位于北小河和壩河交匯處的東壩中心公園內(nèi)，面積約300畝。該地塊原為東壩鄉(xiāng)東風(fēng)村所在地，經(jīng)搬遷騰退和環(huán)境整治，正在規(guī)劃構(gòu)建以生物多樣性為特色的生態(tài)空間。東壩中心公園內(nèi)，參加義務(wù)植樹的首都干部群眾、少先隊員正干得熱火朝天。

看到總書記來了，大家紛紛向總書記問好。習(xí)近平披上雨衣，拿起鐵鍬走向植樹地點，同北京市、國家林業(yè)和草原局負責(zé)同志一起參與到植樹人群的行列。

鏟土造坑、培土圍堰、提水澆灌……習(xí)近平接連種下油松、西府海棠、國槐、柿樹、紅瑞木等樹苗，現(xiàn)場一派繁忙景象，氣氛熱烈。習(xí)近平一邊勞動，一邊教孩子種樹的方法，并與孩子們聊起學(xué)習(xí)生活情況，問他們家里父母多大年紀，在小學(xué)有沒有安排生物課，對植物了解多少，現(xiàn)在作業(yè)多不多，課外輔導(dǎo)多不多，叮囑他們從小要熱愛勞動，做到德智體美勞全面發(fā)展。習(xí)近平強調(diào)，孩子教育，跟植樹一樣，一開始就要豎正，否則就會長歪。

植樹后，在場的中小學(xué)生和干部群眾圍攏過來。習(xí)近平對大家說，我國人工造林規(guī)模世界第一，而且還在繼續(xù)造林。地球綠化，改善全球氣候變化，中國功不可沒，中國人民功不可沒。森林既是水庫、錢庫、糧庫，也是碳庫。植樹造林是一件很有意義的事情，是一項功在當(dāng)代、利在千秋的崇高事業(yè)，要一以貫之、持續(xù)做下去。

習(xí)近平回憶起參加植樹造林的過程。他說，這是我擔(dān)任黨的總書記以來第十一次參加植樹活動，算上到中央工作以來參加的次數(shù)，已經(jīng)十六次了，而且在福建、浙江、上海工作期間我都參加了植樹活動。他對在場的中小學(xué)生們說，等你們也成了父母輩了，也要讓你們的子女子孫繼續(xù)植樹，一代一代做下去，美麗中國就是這么建設(shè)出來的。

習(xí)近平對大家說，我是在北京長大的，我的鄉(xiāng)愁很多都與樹有關(guān)。過去老北京的四合院，肯定會種有槐樹、柿子樹，或者海棠、石榴、棗樹等。北京過去種的比較多的是楊柳樹，因為北京適合種楊柳樹，同時要注意把針闊林比例結(jié)合好，使之更符合生物鏈、生態(tài)鏈要求。要在綠化基礎(chǔ)上加強彩化，多種一些色彩斑斕的樹種，努力建設(shè)全域森林城市，把北京建設(shè)得更美。

習(xí)近平強調(diào)，當(dāng)前和今后一個時期，綠色發(fā)展是我國發(fā)展的重大戰(zhàn)略。開展全民義務(wù)植樹是推進國土綠化、建設(shè)美麗中國的生動實踐。各地區(qū)各部門都要結(jié)合實際，組織開展義務(wù)植樹。要創(chuàng)新組織方式、豐富盡責(zé)形式，為廣大公眾參與義務(wù)植樹提供更多便利，實現(xiàn)“全年盡責(zé)、多樣盡責(zé)、方便盡責(zé)”。讓我們積極行動起來，從種樹開始，種出屬于大家的綠水青山和金山銀山，繪出美麗中國的更新畫卷。

在京中共中央政治局委員、中央書記處書記、國務(wù)委員等參加植樹活動。

Xi calls for afforestation efforts during tree planting activity

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, participated in a voluntary tree planting activity on Tuesday morning in Beijing. He called for national endeavor for tree planting during this season of growth.
Xi stressed that around this time each year, there is a tree-planting campaign from the country's warmer south to north. "Today, we are planting trees in order to call on more people to do the same. It is not just for more efforts to make the vast lands of China greener, but also help develop the awareness of afforestation among the general public," he said. "Together let us embrace this season of hope and build China into a beautiful country," he added.
Drizzling in the suburbs of Beijing has added to the vibrancy of the springtime. At 10:30 a.m., Xi and other Party and state leaders including Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Li Xi and Han Zheng arrived at Dongba Central Park in Beijing's Chaoyang District amid the rain to attend the voluntary tree planting activity along with other participants in the capital.
The planting site is in Dongba Central Park at the confluence of the Beixiaohe River and Bahe River, covering an area of about 20 hectares. There used to be a village here called Dongfeng Village under Dongba Township. After villagers were relocated, the site vacated, and environment improved, the area is now planned to become an ecological space featuring biodiversity. In the park, officials and residents of Beijing as well as members of the Chinese Young Pioneers were planting trees with great enthusiasm.
Catching sight of Xi, they all extended greetings to him. Xi put on a raincoat, picked up a shovel, and walked to the place for tree-planting, joining in the activity together with leading officials from the Beijing municipal government and National Forestry and Grassland Administration.
Digging pits, building soil berms and watering saplings, Xi planted saplings of different types of trees including Chinese pine, midget crabapple, Chinese pagoda tree, persimmon tree and red-barked dogwood. Everyone was busy amid a warm atmosphere. While planting trees, Xi told students how to plant trees and enquired about their study and daily life. He asked them how old their parents were, whether biology lessons were taught in primary school, how much knowledge they had about plants, how much homework and extracurricular tutoring they had now. He also advised the students to be enthusiastic about work from childhood in order to develop sound moral grounding, intellectual ability, physical vigor, aesthetic sensibility and work skills. Xi stressed that children's upbringing is the same as planting trees. Just as a tree must be kept upright at the very beginning of its growth or else it will get crooked, a child must be educated to be upright as well at a very early age to avoid going astray.
After the trees were planted, secondary and primary school students, officials and other people present gathered around. Xi told them that China ranks the first in the world in terms of artificial afforestation areas, and the scale is still expanding. China and its people have made invaluable contributions to making the earth greener and responding to global climate change. Forests help conserve water, bring in economic benefits, boost grain production and also serve as a carbon sink. Planting trees is a noble cause of great significance which creates benefits for not only our generation but also future generations. We must continue our endeavor in this regard with consistent and persistent efforts.
Xi recalled his participation in tree planting activities. He said that this is the 11th time he has taken part in such activity since he became general secretary of the CPC Central Committee. Counting the number of times he has done this since he started to work in the CPC Central Committee, it has been 16 times. "When I was working in Fujian Province, Zhejiang Province and Shanghai, I also attended tree planting activities," Xi said. He told the primary and middle school students that when they become parents, they should also let their children and grandchildren continue to plant trees from generation to generation, which is the way how a beautiful China is built.
Xi said that he grew up in Beijing and much of his homesickness is related to trees. In a siheyuan (quadrangle) in old Beijing, there were definitely scholar trees, persimmon trees, or crabapple, pomegranate and date trees. In the past, more poplar and willow trees were planted in Beijing because the city is suitable for such trees. Additionally, attention should be paid to balance the proportion of coniferous and broad-leaf trees to better meet the requirements of the biological and ecological chains. We should strengthen colorization on the basis of greening, plant trees of vibrant colors, strive to build an all-area forest city so as to make Beijing more beautiful.
Xi emphasized that green development is a major strategy for China's current and future development. Launching voluntary tree planting activities nationwide is a vivid practice to promote afforestation and build a beautiful China. All departments and all regions should organize such activities in light of specific conditions. Efforts should be made to develop new ways of organization in this regard and come up with new models to fulfill organizers' due responsibilities so as to make it more convenient for the general public to participate. Duties in this regard should be performed throughout the year, in various ways and in a convenient manner. He called for nationwide action to make waters lucid and mountains lush that are invaluable assets, and write a new chapter in building a beautiful China through planting trees.
Members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, members of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee and state councilors in Beijing participated.
