From May 19th to 20th, during the crucial period of finalizing the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan and planning the development of the 15th Five-Year Plan, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again visited Henan. This visit fully demonstrated his high regard for Henan's work and his caring concern for the people of Henan, and the entire province was deeply inspired, warmed, and encouraged.

Henan Daily launched a series of commentaries focusing on the "Two Highs and Four Focuses." The entire province is working diligently to implement the "Two Highs and Four Focuses," demonstrating new responsibilities and actions, and creating a favorable atmosphere for studying, publicizing, and implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his visit to Henan.

Bearing the Historical Mission and Responding to the Questions of Our Times. On May 21st, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee held an enlarged meeting to convey and study the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his visit to Henan and to discuss the province's efforts to study, publicize, and implement it. Thoroughly studying, understanding, and implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech is a major political task now and in the future. The entire province must, with a high degree of political awareness, ideological awareness, and action awareness, focus on the "Two Highs and Four Focuses," and strive to write a new chapter in promoting Chinese-style modernization in the Central Plains.

At this critical juncture, as the 14th Five-Year Plan concludes its implementation and the 15th Five-Year Plan begins its development, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again visited Henan. This fully demonstrates his high regard for Henan's work and his caring concern for its people, inspiring the entire province.

He cares deeply for the Central Plains and its people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited Henan numerous times for inspection and research, delivering a series of important speeches and instructions, providing guidance and direction for the province's development and providing fundamental guidelines and action guidelines for our work. His earnest instructions and high expectations are as great as a mountain. General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, focusing on Henan's role in the overall development of the Party and the country, profoundly expounded on the overall, fundamental, and strategic issues of Henan's development in the new era and on its new journey. With far-sighted vision, profound thought, and rich content, it charts the course for further progress in Henan and provides fundamental guidance.

Looking back on the path I came from, my heart is filled with lofty sentiments. Henan, a major economic province, a populous province, a major grain producer, and a major cultural province, shoulders important missions in national strategies such as promoting the rise of the central region and protecting the ecological environment and achieving high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. In recent years, Henan has heeded the instructions and forged ahead with gratitude, fully demonstrating the political awareness and proactive action of a major economic province shouldering responsibility and shouldering the responsibilities of a major economic province.

In terms of industry, Henan accounts for 40 of the 41 major industrial categories and 197 of the 207 medium-sized categories, ranking fifth nationwide and first among the central and western provinces in terms of total industrial output. Three trillion-yuan industrial clusters have been established in new materials, advanced equipment, and modern food, as well as a number of multi-billion-yuan industrial chains such as smart terminals and new energy vehicles. The modern industrial system's ability to support high-quality development continues to increase. Regarding agriculture, Henan's total grain output in 2024 was expected to reach 134.39 billion jin, remaining stable at over 130 billion jin for many consecutive years. Grain, a "major concern of the country," remains unshakable, weathering all storms. Regarding foreign trade, the "Air Silk Road" covers over 200 cities worldwide, the China-Europe freight train service reaches over 40 countries and regions, and cross-border e-commerce imports and exports have maintained double-digit growth for many years. With business operations in over 180 countries and regions, Henan has transformed from an inland hinterland into an open frontier. In recent years, Henan has undergone encouraging and profound changes, showcasing a brighter development prospect. This is fundamentally due to the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

In this new era and new journey, we must deeply understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important requirements for Henan's work, truly align our thinking and understanding with these requirements, and align our goals and tasks accordingly. Focusing on the "Two Highs and Four Focuses," we must deeply understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important requirements for strengthening confidence in promoting high-quality development, unswervingly handle our own work well, and make new and greater contributions to the overall national situation. We must deeply understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important requirements for solidly strengthening social governance and elevating the level of modern social governance. We must focus on building a modern industrial system and a strong agricultural province, improving people's livelihoods, strengthening social governance, strengthening ecological and environmental protection, and promoting cultural prosperity. Through high-quality development and efficient governance, we will strive to write a new chapter in promoting Chinese-style modernization in the Central Plains.

We will scale new heights and forge ahead, even more proud to set sail and rise to the forefront. Let us deeply comprehend the decisive significance of the "two establishments," resolutely uphold the "two safeguards," unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, thoroughly study and implement the important speech delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping during his inspection tour in Henan, and unwaveringly forge ahead in the direction guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping, turning the grand blueprint he has outlined for Henan into a beautiful reality, step by step.

"High-quality development is an inevitable requirement for Chinese-style modernization," General Secretary Xi Jinping said earnestly. "We must strengthen our confidence and unwaveringly carry out our own work." These earnest instructions are of paramount importance. Studying and implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his Henan inspection tour, we must firmly strengthen our confidence in promoting high-quality development.
Development is the Party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country. It is the foundation and key to solving all of China's problems. Development in the new era must be high-quality development. Currently, the principal contradiction in Chinese society has transformed into the contradiction between the people's ever-growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. "Unbalanced and inadequate development" itself is a prominent manifestation of low development quality. To address this problem, we must shift economic development from quantitative expansion to qualitative improvement, from primarily addressing "whether or not" to addressing "how well." Without effective improvement in quality, reasonable quantitative growth will be unsustainable. High-quality development becomes the optimal solution under multiple constraints.

Henan is a major grain-producing province, a populous province, and a major economic powerhouse. Its industries have their own unique characteristics and advantages. Stabilizing employment, businesses, the market, and expectations is Henan's unshirkable responsibility. With a long history and profound cultural heritage, Henan spans the Yangtze River, Huai River, Yellow River, and Hai River basins. It shoulders the heavy responsibility of implementing the Party Central Committee's strategic plans for accelerating the rise of the central region, protecting the ecological environment, and promoting high-quality development in the Yellow River basin.

With the "greater national interests" in mind, we must contribute to both the region and the broader economy. The entire province is unwaveringly committed to promoting high-quality development. Bearings are known as the "joint" of industry. From relying on foreign equipment and hand-rolling primary bearings to now producing over 30,000 products across nine categories, the Luoyang Bearing Group, with over 70 years of history, continues to provide critical support for China's manufacturing industry, which spans the skies, the earth, and the seas. A new energy vehicle rolls off the production line at BYD's Zhengzhou factory every minute, producing 545,000 new energy vehicles last year. Zhengzhou is emerging as a new automotive metropolis, and Henan is at the forefront of the new energy vehicle industry. The Central Plains Agricultural Valley has seen a significant leap in innovation, focusing on tackling bottlenecks in the seed industry. Throughout the year, 178 high-quality new varieties were cultivated, achieving fruitful results. On the runway at Zhengzhou Airport, a cargo plane takes off and lands every two minutes during busy periods. Seizing strategic opportunities, Henan is expanding and strengthening advanced manufacturing, consolidating the foundation of the real economy, and unwaveringly expanding high-level opening up to build an inland open highland. Henan is shouldering the responsibility of being a major economic province through new achievements and breakthroughs in high-quality development.

Development never stops. This year marks the conclusion of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the planning phase for the 15th Five-Year Plan. The Central Economic Work Conference clearly mandated the high-quality completion of the 14th Five-Year Plan's goals and tasks, laying a solid foundation for a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan. With a large economy, forward development requires greater impetus. We must deeply understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important call for unwavering confidence in promoting high-quality development, unwaveringly fulfill our responsibilities, and make new and greater contributions to the overall national situation. We must unswervingly expand high-level opening up, focus on stabilizing employment, businesses, markets, and expectations, and address various uncertainties with the certainty of high-quality development. We must adhere to scientific and technological innovation as the guide, with the real economy as the foundation, develop new-quality productive forces tailored to local conditions, and enhance the support capacity of the modern industrial system for high-quality development. We must promote the effective integration of consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation with rural revitalization, drive comprehensive rural revitalization through urban-rural integrated development, and promote shared prosperity for both urban and rural areas. We must leverage our province's rich historical and cultural resources to promote the high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industries, truly developing them into pillar industries, industries that benefit the people, and industries that bring happiness to both urban and rural areas. We must persistently strengthen ecological protection and governance in key river basins, deepen pollution prevention and control efforts, and build a solid ecological security barrier. We must shoulder our responsibilities for food security, strengthen the protection and development of arable land, accelerate the construction of high-standard farmland, extend the modern agricultural industrial chain, and resolutely win the "three summer harvests" campaign, striving to ensure a bumper harvest of summer grain.

The mighty river flows with each passing day, forging ahead into the future. Keeping in mind the earnest instructions, forging ahead and striving higher, Henan's high-quality development will surely flourish!

High-performance governance is an effective guarantee and fundamental support for achieving high-quality development. During his inspection tour in Henan, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of striving to write a new chapter in advancing Chinese-style modernization in the Central Plains through high-quality development and high-performance governance. On May 23, a provincial leadership meeting conveyed and studied the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his Henan inspection tour. The entire province must follow the requirements of the Party Central Committee and the deployment of the Provincial Party Committee, and carry out the study, publicity, and implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech in an orderly and effective manner, ensuring that the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech takes root, blossoms, and bears fruit in the Central Plains.

Strengthening social governance is crucial to the Party's long-term governance and the country's enduring stability, as well as to social harmony, stability, and the well-being of the people. High-quality development and high-performance governance complement and reinforce each other. Without high-quality development, it will be difficult to secure the human, material, and financial resources required for high-performance governance. Without high-quality development, it will be difficult to properly resolve the various social contradictions and problems encountered during development, and it will be difficult to ensure the favorable environment necessary for development. To strengthen confidence and promote high-quality development, we must use effectiveness as a key yardstick for measuring the quality of social governance, especially at the grassroots level. We must prevent and mitigate major risks, advance the modernization of the national governance system and capacity, and meet the people's needs for a better life.

Entering a new era, my country's social structure has undergone profound changes. To adapt to the new trends of the times, the new requirements of practical development, and the new expectations of the people, we must continuously improve the social governance system and enhance governance effectiveness. Henan Province boasts a large population, population density, and population mobility, which translates into enormous potential in human resources and market size. This also means that social issues are complex and diverse, necessitating a solid strengthening of social governance. By deepening the "Four Discussions and Two Publicities" work method, the province's grassroots governance structure is increasingly improving. Practical measures have been implemented to reduce the burden on grassroots workers, freeing them from the tedious tasks of numerous lines. For many consecutive years, our province has issued practical work plans for people's livelihood, covering employment, education, healthcare, and other areas. These plans serve as a breakthrough point to address the concerns, anxieties, and anxieties of the people. By integrating Party leadership throughout all aspects of grassroots governance, our province has established a sound social governance system of shared development, shared governance, and shared benefits, continuously improving the effectiveness of social governance.

Social governance faces new situations and new tasks, and we must demonstrate new responsibilities and new actions. We must accurately understand and grasp, and resolutely implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important requirements for solidly strengthening social governance. We must clearly recognize the complex situation and arduous tasks facing social governance in our province, strengthen systematic governance, law-based governance, comprehensive governance, and governance at its source. We must improve and implement the Party's overall leadership over social governance, work diligently with the masses, strengthen Party building to lead grassroots governance, strengthen the rule of law and integrity, strengthen the identification and management of risks and hidden dangers, and enhance the ability of leading cadres to prevent and resolve risks, so as to better safeguard national security, social stability, and the well-being of the people.

Draw concentric circles and play a harmonious melody together. By adhering to Party building to lead grassroots governance, solidly strengthening social governance, and continuously improving the level of modernization in social governance, hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains will surely unite their hearts and minds and forge ahead with courage, striving to write a new chapter in the Central Plains' advancement of Chinese-style modernization through high-quality development and efficient governance.

"Carrying out in-depth study and education on implementing the spirit of the Central Committee's eight regulations is a key task in Party building this year." To study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his inspection tour in Henan, we must focus on promoting both study, investigation, and rectification in an integrated manner, closely integrating individual Party member and cadre investigations and rectifications with organizational investigations and rectifications to ensure quality learning, vigorous investigations, and effective rectifications.

The eight regulations are a decisive move by the Party Central Committee to establish its credibility and a landmark measure for Party governance in the new era. The Party Central Committee has repeatedly emphasized this and, this year, has deployed a Party-wide study and education campaign on thoroughly implementing the eight regulations. This is a crucial measure to consolidate and deepen the achievements of thematic education and Party discipline education, and to deepen comprehensive and strict Party governance. It is an inevitable requirement for strengthening ties between the Party and the people, consolidating the Party's ruling foundation, and a powerful guarantee for advancing Chinese-style modernization.

Problems of work style are essentially issues of Party spirit, and their core is the relationship between the Party and the people. The implementation of the eight regulations has catalyzed the entire work of work style improvement. After more than a decade of refinement, the Party and government styles have been revitalized. Henan Province is focused on the regular and long-term implementation of the Central Committee's eight regulations, diligently addressing them and promoting both rectification and improvement. We are closely monitoring violations of eating and drinking rules, selecting small areas for targeted rectification. We are working to address issues such as excessive paperwork and meetings, and cumbersome supervision, inspection, and examinations, combating formalism to reduce the burden on grassroots organizations. We are publicly reporting and exposing typical cases of the "Four Unhealthy Styles," and formulating measures to investigate and address both corruption and misconduct. We are deeply addressing the "Four Unhealthy Styles," fostering a new style of work, and a spirit of honesty and responsibility permeates the Central Plains.

In this closing year, we will build on the past and forge ahead. This year, we must achieve the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan with high quality, laying a solid foundation for a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan. Doing things and taking on responsibilities is the duty and value of cadres. Focusing on the "Two Highs and Four Focuses," we will strive to write a new chapter in the Central Plains' advancement of Chinese-style modernization. This requires Party members and cadres to unite their hearts and minds with a fine work style, work hard, and be proactive, bravely shouldering the heaviest burdens, tackling the toughest challenges, and skillfully handling difficult tasks. The work style improvement campaign is a constant journey. General Secretary Xi Jinping has earnestly warned us to be clear-headed about the stubborn and recurring nature of the "Four Undesirable Work Styles," and to be wary of their resurgence and hidden mutations. Whether we turn a blind eye to formalism and bureaucracy or strike back forcefully is crucial to the Party's image in the hearts of the people. Only by persistently and diligently building a solid foundation for work style and unleashing the Party's creativity, cohesion, and fighting power can we win the final battle and embark on a new journey and a new beginning.

The Party's positive image in the hearts of the people is fostered through the exemplary work style of Party members and cadres. To forge iron, one must be strong himself. We must accurately understand and grasp, and resolutely implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on persevering in implementing the eight central regulations. We must adhere to benchmarking, take concrete actions, closely monitor and implement them, and strictly and practically implement them. We must closely integrate the self-examination and rectification of individual Party members and cadres with the self-examination and rectification of the organization. We must implement special actions to improve work style and promote work, strengthen the joint investigation and treatment of corruption, and take firm action to address prominent issues. We must crack down on irregularities in eating and drinking as soon as they appear, repeatedly punish them, and condemn them with public condemnation. We must strictly implement the "Ten Strict Prohibitions," effectively turning the strict requirements on work style into firm measures and giving ironclad rules their full teeth.

A clean and upright atmosphere will lead to invincibility. Bearing in mind his earnest instructions, we must resolutely fight a decisive and protracted battle, continuously rectify the "four undesirable tendencies," and continuously deepen and implement work style improvement. We will surely forge a new work style and image, demonstrate new responsibilities and new contributions on this new journey in the new era, and strive to write a new chapter in the Central Plains' advancement of Chinese-style modernization.

In May, wheat harvest is in full swing across the Central Plains. During his visit to Henan, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that droughts have occurred in some parts of my country this year, some of which are still ongoing. Relevant departments must work closely together to strengthen water allocation and ensure water supply for urban and rural residents and agricultural irrigation needs. Droughts can also lead to floods, and we must strictly prevent the sudden transition from drought to flood. Implementing the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his Henan inspection tour requires solid efforts in drought and flood control to provide strong support for economic and social development.

Drought and flood control are crucial to overall economic development, social harmony and stability, and the safety of people's lives and property. Scientifically and precisely combating droughts, minimizing the impact of extreme weather, and safeguarding agricultural production are all about laying a solid foundation for development. To ensure more wheat crops receive adequate water and ensure that all necessary irrigation is provided, our province is adapting to local conditions and implementing scientific measures to combat drought. River and reservoir irrigation areas are increasing water diversion flows, delivering water farther for more irrigation, and expanding the irrigated area. Plain irrigation areas are taking effective measures to ensure power supply to pumped wells, deploying various irrigation and drainage machinery, and striving to increase the area irrigated for drought relief. Hilly areas are utilizing small-scale water conservancy projects such as pits, ponds, weirs, and dams for drought relief irrigation. Our province has entered the flood season. Meteorological authorities predict that Henan's overall climate conditions will be abnormal this flood season, with higher precipitation and higher temperatures. Precipitation will be unevenly distributed, leading to a combined risk of drought and flooding, and a significant threat of basin-wide flooding.

The more complex and severe the situation, the more we must work tirelessly, accurately predict, and take scientific precautions to ensure stable production and living order. The key to flood prevention and disaster reduction lies in proactive planning. We must closely monitor key links in key areas such as reservoirs, bridges, urban drainage, and farmland drainage, thoroughly investigate potential risks, and proactively address shortcomings and plug loopholes to minimize potential risks before they occur. We must comprehensively utilize methods such as human inspections and big data monitoring to improve forecasting, early warning, rehearsal, and contingency planning capabilities, and stay abreast of changes in rainfall and flood conditions to effectively respond.

Summer harvesting is a race against time. Faced with adverse weather conditions, our provincial water conservancy department has promptly activated its drought relief mechanism and launched a comprehensive campaign to combat drought and ensure grain production. Relevant departments must closely collaborate and strengthen water allocation to ensure water supply for urban and rural residents and agricultural irrigation needs. We must deeply understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's important requirements for drought and flood prevention, firmly establish the concept of "two adherences and three transformations" in disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief, thoroughly and meticulously identify and eliminate risks and hazards, accelerate the improvement of shortcomings and weaknesses, strengthen monitoring, forecasting, and early warning, further implement emergency responsibilities, improve emergency plans, conduct effective emergency drills, and strengthen emergency preparedness. We must effectively respond to extreme weather disasters, strictly prevent the sudden transition from drought to flood, build a solid disaster defense barrier, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

We must uphold the bottom line of safety and protect the well-being of the people. We must thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, with a sense of responsibility that demands an urgent response, a sense of mission that demands no time to waste, and a sense of urgency that demands no time to waste. We must seize this window of opportunity, build a tighter protective network, take proactive measures in drought and flood prevention, fulfill our responsibilities, and continuously and effectively enhance our ability to respond to extreme disasters. We will surely continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
