Xi Jinping, then secretary of CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee, visited Anji Yu village. When he saw that people were destroying the ecology in exchange for economic development, he proposed the famous "Two Mountains Theory", that is, "Green water and green mountains are golden and silver mountains." Now Anji Yucun has embarked on the path of ecological development. It has been proved by practical actions that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. It is better to have green water and green mountains than gold and silver mountains.

When I saw this topic, as an environmental student, I felt the most profound and familiar with the vigorous development of environmental protection in China.

I once read an article describing China's environment in a foreign journal, and there was a short paragraph in which I wrote it like this: Born at the turn of centuries at the height of the development-obsessed age, we entered a polluted and overcrowded world of factories belching smoke into sooty skies.

On August 15, 2005, Xi Jinping, then secretary of CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee, visited Anji Yu Village. When he saw that people were destroying the ecology in exchange for economic development, he proposed the famous "two mountains theory", which means that "green water and green mountains are Jinshan Yinshan". It is precisely by practicing the "Two Mountains Theory" of Secretary Xi Jinping that Anjiyu Village has embarked on the model of ecological development and achieved impressive results. Ten years later, on March 24, 2015, Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and passed the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Ecological Civilization", and formally wrote the concept of "Insistence on green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" into the central document, has become an important guiding ideology guiding China to accelerate the construction of ecological civilization.

The picture was taken at sunset in the evening, with beautiful clouds and rolling mountains.

Calm down and think carefully about how China's environmental protection industry will develop in five years. Especially with the ecological development model guided by the "two mountains" theory, China's ecological civilization construction will develop by leaps and bounds. Five years later, what kind of work will you be engaged in in the environmental protection industry? Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has achieved curve overtaking. From the beginning, it only pursued economic development, and now advocates ecological development and sustainable development. As a student of ecological environment, I think there is a lot to do in the field of ecological environment during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

This picture was taken in early winter, my hometown, Wudang Mountain, Shiyan city, Hubei province. Wudang Mountain is a business card of Shiyan city, and it is also an important carrier for Shiyan city to develop ecological civilization. Wudang Mountain is a sacred place of Taoism. In 1994, the ancient buildings of Wudang Mountain were included in the "World Heritage List", and in 2006 it was listed as a "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit" as a whole.

This picture was taken in my hometown of Shiyan City, Hubei Province. A rainbow bridge was erected between the two mountains in the countryside after the rain. There are a few farm houses at the foot of the mountain, and there is a peaceful atmosphere.

I am a child from the countryside, and I think that with the vigorous development of ecological civilization today, the development of the countryside is promising. The rural revitalization strategy transforms the rural natural environmental advantages into the ecological civilization advantages needed for economic and social development, and promotes the transformation of the rural economic development mode by accelerating the development of ecological agriculture, circular agriculture, green agriculture, leisure agriculture, cultural agriculture, and tourism agriculture, So as to create a livable and beautiful rural ecological environment and realize the harmony and unity of man and nature. My hometown has beautiful scenery and unique ecological advantages, and has great advantages in the development of eco-tourism.

The rolling hills are misty and misty. The morning mist is like a milky white tulle, dreamy, fantasy, poetry, and picturesque. It can't be waved away, pulled away, and cut continuously, blocking my sight, giving people a feeling of flying away on the clouds and wanting to return. Show the tranquility of the countryside.

Danjiangkou Reservoir, located in the northwest of Hubei province, in the upper and middle reaches of the Han River, is known as the "Water Capital of China". The largest artificial freshwater lake in Asia, Danjiangkou Reservoir, is the water source for the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. It is known as the "Asian Lake" and guarantees the drinking water safety of Beijing people.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's environmental governance system will be more complete, and the environment will be more beautiful and more livable. With the support of the "two mountains" theory, more innovative development ideas will be used to give full play to the advantages of latecomers. Choose proper development industries according to local conditions, let the green waters and green mountains give full play to economic and social benefits, and effectively achieve the simultaneous improvement of economic, social, and ecological benefits, and realize the organic unity of people's wealth and ecological beauty.
