Xi on science and tech workers

General Secretary Xi Jinping cares about stories of scientific and technological workers

Career development must be in innovation;

The only way to innovate is to win people.

In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that science and technology must be the primary productive force, talents are the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force.

The cordial care, deep entrustment, ardent expectations, and the touching story between General Secretary Xi Jinping and the scientific and technological workers show the sincerity of the Party Central Committee for the scientific and technological workers, and it is a strategic plan for building a scientific and technological power.

Talents are the first resource "The fundamental source of national scientific and technological innovation lies in people"

Seed selection, fertilization, data measurement... At 6 o'clock in the morning, in Gezhuang Village, Xifan, Pinggu District, Beijing, Wang Wenxin, a graduate student from the Science and Technology Academy of China Agricultural University, was already busy in the experimental field. For more than a year, she and her classmates assisted the village in building a 150-acre smart farm.

On the eve of the May 4th Youth Day in 2023, Wang Wenxin and her classmates received a special reply letter signed by Xi Jinping. The general secretary said in the letter: "I am very pleased to know that through the small science and technology institute set up by the school, everyone has gone to the fields and villages to solve the people's livelihood and study knowledge in the service of rural revitalization."

In the deep winter of 1983, regular registered college students of Hebei Agricultural University received a letter from Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhengding County Party Committee. The letter reads:

"Although the wave of 'science and technology fever' is booming in the vast rural areas, there is a lack of energy and talent!" "The rural areas urgently need agricultural college students, and agricultural college students cannot do without the countryside."

From getting rid of poverty to revitalizing the countryside, in the two letters separated by 40 years, one idea has always been firm: to let the masses live a good life, the key is to rely on the promotion and application of modern science and technology, and it is to rely on these specialized talents who have mastered science and technology .

Scientific research institutes, universities, high-tech enterprises... Since entering the new era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the cultivation of scientific and technological personnel, and has had many face-to-face exchanges with scientific and technological workers.

Qianqiu Foundation, talent-oriented.

"When I was working in Zhengding, I knew that this place is a very important one in our national scientific research institute. I have heard of its name for a long time!"

On the morning of May 12, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was visiting Hebei, came to the China Electronics Technology Industrial Basic Research Institute in Shijiazhuang.

As soon as he arrived, General Secretary Xi Jinping communicated cordially with the comrades of the research institute, which made every scientific and technological worker present feel very warm.

More than 40 years ago, when he first came to work in Zhengding, Hebei, Comrade Xi Jinping deeply felt during the investigation that the scarcity of talents is a major shortcoming in the development of Zhengding.

In order to solve this problem, Comrade Xi Jinping formulated the "Nine Rules for Talents" to recruit talents. In more than a year, more than 700 letters flew to Zhengding, and more than 200 talents settled in the ancient city.

This time in Shijiazhuang, General Secretary Xi Jinping said earnestly to the scientific and technological workers: "A technologically powerful country cannot be separated from the scientific and technological pioneers and the scientific and technological phalanx."

Scientific and technological innovation depends on talents, and national development depends on talents.

In Fujian, there is a well-known story of "making grass turn into gold".

On November 19, 2021, when attending the third "Belt and Road" construction symposium, General Secretary Xi Jinping recalled a past event more than 20 years ago.

During his work in Fujian, Xi Jinping received the visiting Governor of Papua New Guinea's Eastern Highlands Province. "I introduced Juncao technology to him, and the governor was very interested. I sent Lin Zhanxi from "Mountain and Sea Love" to go."

Lin Zhanxi is the prototype of an agricultural expert in the TV series "Mountain and Sea Love", and also the pioneer of Juncao technology. Under the impetus of Comrade Xi Jinping, Juncao technology was included in the Fujian-Ningxia counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation project, driving the common people to become rich. Soon after that meeting, Lin Zhanxi went to the South Pacific to promote Juncao.

In 2000, a special awards ceremony was held at the Fujian Provincial Government. This is an awards ceremony dedicated to awarding one person, and it is also the first time that Fujian has awarded first-class merit to a scientific and technological worker.

The winner is none other than Lin Zhanxi. The award was presented to him by then Governor Xi Jinping.

At the awards ceremony, Comrade Xi Jinping made it clear: "Our scientific and technological intellectuals can only create outstanding contributions that attract the attention of the world and are welcomed by the people only by combining their own intelligence and wisdom with the needs of the times."

From blooming in the West China Sea to crossing the ocean, under Xi Jinping's personal care and promotion, the little "Chinese grass" has grown into a "happiness grass" that benefits more than 100 countries.

Respect and cherish talents, and have always been full of deep friendship with scientific and technological workers.

On November 17, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping took a group photo with more than 600 representatives who participated in the National Spiritual Civilization Construction Commendation Conference. When he saw Academician Huang Xuhua, who was in his 90s, standing among the representatives, the General Secretary took his hand and smiled Ask him to sit next to you.

In the 2019 New Year's message, General Secretary Xi Jinping said emotionally: "At this moment, I would like to mention some shining names. This year, there is an extra 'Nan Ren Dong Xing' in the sky." The general secretary's words spread the story of "Father of Sky Eye" Nan Rendong to thousands of households.

Academician Sun Jiadong, the father of the "two bombs and one satellite" who has been dealing with aerospace for a lifetime, will never forget the scene when General Secretary Xi Jinping awarded him the "Medal of the Republic".

On September 29, 2019, at the awarding ceremony held in the Great Hall of the People, Sun Jiadong was in a wheelchair because of bad legs and feet.

"At that time, General Secretary Xi Jinping was walking on my left side with firm and powerful steps, but he paid special attention to the pace and walked parallel to me. This detail made me feel kind and honored from the bottom of my heart!" Recalling this scene, Sun Jiadong still remembers new.

Emphasize talents and use talents, and encourage scientific and technological workers to move forward bravely.

On April 10, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Zhanjiang, Guangdong, and mentioned a period of his work in Fujian.

More than 30 years ago, Comrade Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Ningde Prefectural Committee, issued instructions on the "Report on the Development of Seawater Fish Aquaculture Technology in Eastern Fujian" submitted by Liu Jiafu, a local expert in large yellow croaker nursery technology, requesting to concentrate efforts on scientific research.

"This timely rain has provided ideas and financial support for the in-depth research on large yellow croaker breeding technology, and it has added confidence and strength to our scientific and technological workers to continue to tackle key problems." Liu Jiafu, who is now an octogenarian, is full of emotion.

From "Little Juncao" to "Big Yellow Croaker", the selection of talents without sticking to one pattern and the use of talents broke the routine. The new achievements in the laboratory have become the "fruits of prosperity" for ordinary people.

"Innovative careers call for innovative talents."

In June 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the opening meeting of the Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences: "To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the more talents the better, and the more capable the better."

In September 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at a symposium for scientists: "The fundamental source of national scientific and technological innovation lies in people."

In May 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the academician meeting of the two academies and the tenth meeting of the China Association for Science and Technology: "In order to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, in the final analysis, we must rely on high-level innovative talents."

...

On the new journey, the vast number of scientific and technological workers are striving to be the first in the direction guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping.

Building Higher Science and Technology Buildings "The key is to improve the ecology of technological innovation"

On March 10, 2023, the First Session of the 14th National People's Congress voted to pass the decision on the institutional reform plan of the State Council.

"Formation of the Central Science and Technology Committee", "Reorganization of the Ministry of Science and Technology"...

In the "Party and State Institutional Reform Plan", "strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee on scientific and technological work, and promoting the construction of the national innovation system and the reform of the scientific and technological system as a whole" has become the key focus of this important deployment.

Unleash the vitality of innovation through reform, and let more horses race to the top.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has taken the reform of the scientific and technological system as the focus of comprehensively deepening the reform, personally leading and deploying it personally. Many major scientific and technological system reform issues have pointed to the removal of ideological barriers and institutional barriers that restrict scientific and technological innovation, and stimulate scientific and technological workers. enthusiasm and creativity.

"To get what people want, you must store it in a wide variety of ways."

In the heart of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the general direction of the national innovation system must be grasped, and specific matters involving scientific and technological workers must also be managed well.

Faced with his busy work schedule, academician Zhong Nanshan, the winner of the "Medal of the Republic", also felt helpless: "I sometimes have to 'stand' and shoot videos!" Many scientific and technological workers have encountered such troubles.

"There will be no loss if there are fewer scientific and technical personnel participating in various occasional and social activities! Scientific and technological personnel must not be allowed to spend a lot of time on unnecessary welcome and sending activities, and unnecessary review and evaluation activities. spend on formalistic and bureaucratic activities!"

On May 28, 2021, at the academician meeting of the two academies and the tenth meeting of the China Association for Science and Technology, General Secretary Xi Jinping's sincere words expressed the aspirations of the vast number of scientific and technological workers, and aroused strong resonance inside and outside the venue.

"Our country's scientific and technological team has huge potential for innovation. The key is to effectively release this potential by deepening the reform of the scientific and technological system." General Secretary Xi Jinping said loudly.

Reform has always adhered to the word "dare", daring to face difficulties and being the first in the world.

In the past 10 years, the institutional and basic framework supporting comprehensive innovation has been basically established, and the system and mechanism are more suitable for the needs of scientific and technological development and the demands of scientific researchers:

The "revealing the list and taking command" and "horse racing system" support scientists' bold explorations, and more young scientists take the lead in major scientific research tasks;

Taking breaking the "four only" phenomenon of "only papers, only professional titles, only academic qualifications, and only awards" and "setting new standards" as a breakthrough, loosen the ties and reduce the burden on scientific research personnel;

A talent evaluation system oriented towards innovation value, ability, and contribution is being established, activating the "pool of spring water" for scientific and technological innovation;

...

It is a strategic requirement put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping to build the science and technology building higher.

On September 11, 2020, at a special symposium for scientists, the issue of talent became a focal topic. Every speaker was full of emotions and sincere words.

Academician Yao Qizhi suggested to build a complete talent training chain to cultivate China's talent hematopoietic ability.

Academician Shi Yigong reported on the construction progress of West Lake University, expecting it to become a cutting-edge technology incubator and top talent training base.

...

General Secretary Xi Jinping sometimes interjected and sometimes took notes. The general secretary said: "We feel the same way! The fundamental source of national scientific and technological innovation lies in people. It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate people."

In attracting and cultivating top talents, the general secretary has far-reaching thoughts: "On this issue, we have to take a bigger step. A bigger step is also a little bolder, and introduce a more open and flexible mechanism."

General Secretary Xi Jinping cares for scientific and technological workers in every possible way.

Many scientific and technological workers in Zhejiang recalled that when the general secretary was working in Zhejiang, he was our "Minister of Logistics" and the "mother's family" of scientific and technological talents. He always sends "warm air" and "hot air" to the scientists gradually, and warms up the "cold bench" together with everyone.

On November 17, 2005, Dr. Ding Lieming, a returnee who had been researching and developing new drugs in Hangzhou for nearly three years, decided to write a letter to Comrade Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, after a few nights of tangling.

Since returning to China, Ding Lieming and his team have overcome many difficulties and completed the preclinical research of a new lung cancer targeted drug. However, without approval, clinical trials cannot proceed.

Burning with anxiety, this letter to the secretary of the provincial party committee became the "last hope" for Ding Lieming and his team.

To Ding Lieming's surprise, only five days later, Comrade Xi Jinping issued instructions on this letter, and also underlined key points in the letter.

According to Comrade Xi Jinping's request, relevant leaders from Zhejiang Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, Provincial Food and Drug Administration and other departments quickly came to Ding Lieming's team to learn about the progress of new drug research and development and the needs of enterprises, and actively coordinated with relevant state departments to accelerate the approval process.

The road to scientific research is long and difficult. This kind of concern illuminates Ding Lieming's road to pursue his dreams.

Ding Lieming won the first prize of the 2015 National Science and Technology Progress Award for this project.

In the Great Hall of the People, when General Secretary Xi Jinping met with the award-winning representatives, Ding Lieming excitedly expressed his feelings to the General Secretary: "We are grateful to the motherland from the bottom of our hearts. It is the motherland that has given us a platform and opportunity to better realize our own value..."

This was the first time that Ding Lieming had a face-to-face exchange with General Secretary Xi Jinping. The encouraging gaze from the General Secretary made him unforgettable for a long time and encouraged him to devote himself to scientific research.

Innovative talents are like excellent seeds, which are very rare and should be given special care.

In April 2003, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, went to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences for investigation. He heard that agricultural scientific and technological personnel faced difficulties and treatment issues in scientific and technological innovation. Xi Jinping asked everyone about the situation in detail. It wasn't long after the research that these issues were resolved.

General Secretary Xi Jinping is very concerned about the retired workers of my country's first nuclear weapons development base - the state-owned No. 21 Factory, and has issued important instructions on many occasions, asking for solutions to the difficulties and problems encountered by the retirees in their lives.

Today, the retired workers of the No. 221 factory are treated better, and it is easier to see a doctor. The relevant units have also repaired the workers' housing, beautified the community environment, and made life much more comfortable.

Since 2017, my country has set May 30 as the "National Science and Technology Workers' Day". Over the past few years, on the occasion of this special day, General Secretary Xi Jinping has delivered many important speeches or sent letters to extend his sincere greetings to scientific and technological workers across the country.

General Secretary Xi Jinping requires leading cadres at all levels to "take the initiative to solve problems for scientific and technological workers, loosen ties and reduce burdens, cheer and encourage, and implement a series of strategic deployments of the Party Central Committee on scientific and technological innovation."

Today, a vivid situation is taking shape where the world's talents gather in China and all kinds of people compete for freedom. More than 90 million scientific and technological workers across the country are working tirelessly to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.

Shouldering the heavy responsibility entrusted by the times "The vast number of scientific and technological workers in our country can accomplish a lot"

At about 12:30 on May 23, 2023, the majestic Mount Everest once again witnessed history, and 13 Chinese scientific expedition team members successfully climbed to the summit of Mount Everest.

Six years ago, when the second comprehensive scientific investigation and research on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was launched, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter, encouraging everyone to "carry forward the spirit of the older generation of scientists who worked hard, forged ahead in unity, and bravely climbed the peak."

The infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak, and the same is true for technological innovation.

"There is no smooth road in science. Only those who are not afraid of hard work and climb along the steep mountain road can hope to reach the peak of glory." General Secretary Xi Jinping once quoted Marx's famous words to encourage scientific and technological workers to climb the peak bravely.

Eagerly looking forward to, igniting the ambition to dare to create.

On January 19, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping took the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway to inspect the Zhangjiakou competition area of the Beijing Winter Olympics. At Prince City Station, the general secretary pointed out: "A successful example of my country's independent innovation is the high-speed rail, which has grown from scratch, from introduction, digestion, absorption and re-innovation to independent innovation, and is now leading the world."

Zhu Yan, deputy chief designer of the "Fuxing" intelligent EMU of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, was particularly excited by these words.

On July 17, 2015, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicle Co., Ltd., where Zhu Yan works. The general secretary boarded the assembled high-speed EMU to learn about the performance, facilities, and operation, and encouraged everyone to "seize the opportunity and take advantage of the situation."

A few months later, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway started construction, with the goal of building the world's most advanced intelligent high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. This speed surpassed the highest speed per hour of high-speed rail operation in the world at that time, and there was no ready-made experience for design and development.

Persevere day and night, and concentrate on tackling key problems. Zhu Yan's team made a new design for the air resistance problem, which made the resistance of "Fuxing" lower than that of "Harmony" by 11%.

On December 30, 2019, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway independently designed and built by my country opened for operation.

"In 1909, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed; in 2019, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway was opened to traffic. From a zero breakthrough in independent design and construction to the world's most advanced level, from 35 kilometers per hour to 350 kilometers per hour, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has witnessed the development of China's railways and also witnessed It has marked a leap in China's comprehensive national strength." On the opening of the operation, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions, profoundly clarified the significance of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, and extended warm congratulations to all comrades involved in the planning and construction.

It was the dream of countless astronauts to build a space station in space and have a "own home" belonging to the Chinese.

Today, this dream has become a reality.

On Shenzhou 10, 11, and 12, General Secretary Xi Jinping had three "space-to-earth calls" with astronauts performing missions in space.

On the afternoon of November 9, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the China Manned Space Engineering Command Center and had a cordial conversation with Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong, astronauts of Shenzhou 11, who were performing missions on Tiangong-2.

Seeing that the astronauts are in good condition, the general secretary is very happy. He said: "You have united and cooperated to overcome difficulties and overcome difficulties, which embodies first-class and excellent qualities."

After the triumphant return of Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong, General Secretary Xi Jinping had a cordial conversation with the astronauts and representatives of the manned missions of Tiangong 2 and Shenzhou 11 at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

From high-speed rail to large aircraft, from manned spaceflight to deep-sea exploration, from quantum information to nuclear power technology...Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, scientific and technological workers have continued to write answers to innovations in the new era. my country's scientific and technological innovation has achieved a series of remarkable achievements Achievements, historic, holistic, and structural changes have taken place in science and technology. my country has entered the ranks of innovative countries, and the Chinese people's dream of flying and science has extended to the farther sky.

deeply concerned and inspired patriotism.

"March into science and build the Great Northwest". On the Xingqing Campus of Xi'an Jiaotong University, in the Xiqian Museum of Jiaotong University, there is a special train pass for the Westward Relocation of Jiaotong University in 1956, which carries the memory of burning passion.

On April 22, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the Xiqian Museum of Jiaotong University and cordially met with 14 old Xiqian professors.

"From the banks of the Huangpu River to the banks of the Weishui River, you pack your backpacks and set off, leaving your family behind to take care of everyone. The westward migration of Jiaotong University is of great significance to the entire country and nation, and to the strategic layout of the western development."

General Secretary Xi Jinping encouraged teachers and students to stay true to their original aspirations, keep in mind their mission, continue to carry forward the "Westward Spirit", make contributions to places where the motherland needs it most, and pass on the "Westward Spirit" from generation to generation.

Called on many occasions to learn from the older generation of scientists such as Li Siguang, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Xuesen;

Inspecting the breeding of Southern Breeding, deeply praised "Comrade Yuan Longping is a model";

Met with the "Sky Eye" team, earnestly sent a message "I hope everyone will follow Mr. Nan Rendong as an example";

Reply to praise and encourage the team of Huang Danian-style teachers in colleges and universities across the country, and members of the "Luoyang Youth Commando"...

General Secretary Xi Jinping's affectionate conversations and important and profound instructions time after time have inspired and condensed the spiritual power of the vast number of scientific and technological workers to "serve the country with sincerity and sincerity".

Earnest entrustment gathers the surging power to forge ahead.

The tree is tall and leafy, tied to the deep roots.

Generation and transmission of 3D volumetric video - Liu Liming, a doctoral student majoring in computer application technology at Peking University, is challenging this interdisciplinary field. An unforgettable exchange with General Secretary Xi Jinping when he was young allowed him to grow from a "little science fan" to a young scientific and technological talent.

On the eve of Teacher's Day in 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Bayi School in Beijing. Liu Liming, who is in the second year of high school, demonstrated the popular science small satellite model made by him and his classmates for the general secretary.

"You have cultivated scientific literacy, developed interests and specialties since the middle school stage, and laid a solid foundation. In the future, you will continue to study professional knowledge in this field in college, and it will be coherent. This is very good." General Secretary Xi Jinping urged students to remember to tell when small satellites are launched he.

More than three months later, Liu Liming and his classmates wrote a letter to General Secretary Xi Jinping, reporting the news of the upcoming launch of the small satellite, and soon received a reply from the General Secretary: "I am gratified by your enthusiasm and courage to climb the peak of science and technology."

On December 28 of that year, this small satellite was launched into orbit. The joy of success is like a "morning star", leading Liu Liming to move forward firmly on the road of scientific exploration.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out profoundly: "We must attach great importance to the growth of young scientific and technological talents so that they can become the main force of scientific and technological innovation."

The average age of young talents participating in the "Chang'e-5" mission is 32.5 years old, and the youngest system commander was born in 1996; the Long March 3A series launch vehicle is a "special train" for launching Beidou navigation satellites, and the average age of the overall design team of the rocket is different. By the age of 30...

Under the care and guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping, more and more young talents are thriving in the front line of scientific and technological innovation, forming a surging wave of building a scientific and technological power.

The seeds of innovation have been sown, and an innovative China is full of vitality.

Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the vast number of scientific and technological workers in our country have the confidence, will, and ability to continuously climb to the peak of science, and contribute more to the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country and the comprehensive promotion of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
