President Xi plants trees and ideals ...
PRESIDENT Xi Jinping attended a tree planting activity yesterday and urged more afforestation work to build a "beautiful China."
Xi and other top leaders, including Premier Li Keqiang, visited the project in a riverside afforestation site in Beijing's Fengtai District.
The president carefully packed soil around the newly planted trees, and watered them alongside officials from the Beijing government and the State Forestry Administration as well as representatives of young pioneers.
Xi called for vigorous efforts to protect the country's forests and deepen the voluntary tree planting campaign as it will create a better ecological environment for the nation to realize "the Chinese dream."
While hailing the tree planting achievements of the last 30 years, the president also warned that afforestation in China is arduous since the country's forest resources are still scarce and its ecological system remains vulnerable.
Important resource
Forests are the mainstay and an important resource for the terrestrial ecosystem, and they are also an important environmental safeguard for the survival and development for mankind, Xi said.
He said it was hard to imagine how the Earth would look without forests.
The president called on the whole of society to enhance awareness of ecological and environmental protection.
When planting trees with the young pioneers, Xi talked with the children about their lives and studies.
He told the young pioneers to protect forests and the environment, as well as to foster a frugal lifestyle.
The president also reminded them to do more physical exercises.
"Families, schools and society should create good conditions for the healthy growth of children, just like it is with these trees," Xi said.
The president planted a ginkgo and four other species of trees.
