An unprecedented great initiative. From freehand brushwork to fine brushwork, across mountains and deep gully, across oceans and deserts, the magnificent and magnificent scrolls spread slowly in just 8 years.

What has been changed by the Belt and Road Initiative, the road to win-win cooperation from the depths of history? Countless moving answers. For the people of the countries and regions along the route, it is water and electricity, roads and bridges, schools and hospitals, increased income, improved lives, and a future worth looking forward to.

At the symposium, President Xi Jinping remembered a past event more than 20 years ago. While working in Fujian, Comrade Xi Jinping received the visiting governor of Papua New Guinea’s Eastern Highlands Province Rafa Namar. "I introduced the Juncao technology to him, and the governor was very interested when I heard it. I sent the Lin Zhanxi from "Mountain and Sea Situation"."

The agro-technical expert named Ling Yinong in the drama "The Love of Mountains and Seas" is based on Lin Zhanxi's prototype. Before that meeting, Juncao, driven by Comrade Xi Jinping, opened a door for "Min-Ning cooperation". Soon after that meeting, Lin Zhanxi went to the South Pacific and wrote a good saying that "a small piece of grass will grow thousands of miles long".

General Secretary Xi Jinping said this with emotion: "After I became the vice president of the country, I went to South Pacific, Africa, and South America to continue to promote Juncao. Now this technology has taken root in more than 100 countries and created it locally. Hundreds of thousands of job opportunities."

At the symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping urged the participants and builders to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative to calculate how many projects directly reflect the needs of people's livelihood. The general secretary’s words are long and focused: “The people’s livelihood project is an important way to quickly improve the public’s sense of gain in building a country, and it has an immediate effect. Small and beautiful projects directly affect the people. In the future, small and beautiful projects will be the priority of foreign cooperation and strengthened. Make overall plans, give full play to the role of foreign aid funds, and form more projects that are grounded and focused."

Discuss and build together

There are too many Chinese stories worth telling in the grand narrative of the Belt and Road Initiative. The blue road of camel bells and the road of sailing in stormy seas are rooted in history and facing the future; they originate from China and belong to the world. At the symposium, 7 speakers from ministries and commissions, localities, enterprises, and research institutions spoke about what they saw and thought from different perspectives.

Some speakers were full of emotion when talking about the vicissitudes of Piraeus Port in Greece, and quoted a sentence when the General Secretary visited Piraeus Port two years ago: "The Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China is not a slogan or legend, but a success. Practice and wonderful reality". A speaker from a research institution started speaking from the grand history, which resonated a lot: "History is a joint force, but history also needs leverage. The joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative is leveraging history."

Because of China's opportunities, because of China's actions, because of China's strategy of "consulting, building and sharing together". The green hills can't cover it, after all, it flows eastward. Today, China has formed a consensus on jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative with two-thirds of the countries in the world and one-third of major international organizations. The solid and heavy achievements have shaped the overall pattern of opening to the outside world, laid out first moves to deal with the world's unprecedented changes in a century, and explored new ways to promote common development. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the symposium: "As I said, the joint construction of the Belt and Road is to add two more wings to the Chinese Dapeng. Once the construction is completed, the Dapeng can fly higher and farther. To consolidate. The basic plan for cooperation will consolidate the foundation for development."

The focus of the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative lies in foreign countries and the foundation lies in China. The world "does not want to miss the foreseeable future" and is also looking at how China will go and what to do. "At present and in the future, especially during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, we must fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept, adhere to the system concept, adhere to the bottom line thinking, and aim for high standards, sustainability, and people's livelihood." The secretary whispered:

"In our work, we must accurately grasp the overall requirements for jointly building the Belt and Road under the new situation. I think we must persist in seeking progress while maintaining stability. Seeking progress while maintaining stability must be implemented in all aspects of our promotion of the Belt and Road Initiative. We must maintain strategic determination and grasp Seizing strategic opportunities, coordinating development and security, coordinating domestic and international, coordinating cooperation and struggle, coordinating stocks and increments, coordinating the overall and key points, actively responding to challenges, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and moving forward courageously."Editor/XuNing
