Qinghai Radio and Television Station:
We understand that Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shandong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, as well as relevant national departments, ministries and central enterprises, have established assistance and cooperation relationships with Qinghai. Could you introduce the role of the aiding cadres in Qinghai's economic and social development? Thank you.
Wang Linhu:
First, thank you for your concern and attention to the paired assistance work in Qinghai. It should be noted that the economic and social development of Qinghai in recent years has achieved relatively good results, which cannot be separated from the strong support and help of the assisting provinces, cities, and cadres aiding Qinghai.
Since the CPC Central Committee made the strategic deployment of paired assistance in 2010, five batches of over 3,800 cadres and technical professionals from Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and various central state institutions and central enterprises have participated in the assistance work in Qinghai. Over the past decade, these dedicated individuals have regarded Qinghai as their hometown and the local people as their families. Focusing on the region's needs and the assisting parties' capabilities, they have implemented over 3,000 assistance projects in succession. They have helped farmers and herders improve housing conditions, enhance teaching quality, allocate medical resources, expand employment channels, and increase economic income. It can be said that the paired assistance work has made very important contributions to Qinghai's fight against poverty, the simultaneous building of a moderately prosperous society with the rest of the country, promoting common prosperity, and embarking on a new journey of Chinese-style modernization.
During their work, the vast number of aid cadres demonstrated through their actions that a lack of oxygen does not mean a lack of spirit. They showed resilience in the face of tough conditions and maintained moral standards that were even higher than the altitude of the plateau. With their wholehearted dedication, they have written many touching stories of their efforts in Qinghai. Among them are those who, by imparting medical skills, left behind a "Capital's Famous Doctors" medical team in Yushu that cannot be taken away; the "Jiangsu Mamba" who completed over 2,000 eye surgeries on the plateau; and the "Renowned Zhejiang Teachers" couple who helped over 1,000 herders' children leave the mountains. There is also the "Tianjin Talent," who came from the banks of the Haihe River to the Yellow River to create the beautiful Deji village; the "Yimeng Heroines," who with their craftsmanship, built bridges and roads to facilitate travel for herders; and the "Shanghai Girl" who founded a youth orchestra in the Maqin grasslands of Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture at an altitude of 4,200 meters. She also established a folk music orchestra named after the local Anme Machin Snow Mountain, helping many herders' children realize their musical dreams. The cadres aiding Qinghai have become an important force in Qinghai's economic and social development and in promoting exchanges and integration among local ethnic groups, thereby enhancing national unity. The people of all ethnic groups on the plateau have personally felt the benefits of the Party's policies for aiding Qinghai and the warmth of the Chinese nation's big family.
Taking this opportunity, on behalf of the people of all ethnic groups in Qinghai, I express our gratitude to General Secretary Xi Jinping and the CPC Central Committee for their kind concern for Qinghai. I also want to thank the assisting provinces and cities for their full support, and the cadres aiding Qinghai for their selfless dedication. Thank you.
