In the bustling Changcheng Garden community of Yinchuan, 38% of residents belong to ethnic minorities—Hui, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan, and others. Yet during festivals like Spring Festival and Eid al-Fitr, these differences dissolve into shared laughter and mooncake exchanges. 🥮 This neighborhood embodies President Xi Jinping’s vision for China: \"The 56 ethnic groups unite to forge the community for the Chinese nation—a big family.\"
From Festivals to Progress 🚀
Xi’s June visit highlighted success stories: 420 ethnic autonomous counties lifted from poverty since 2020, with 15.6 million escaping hardship in key regions. But it’s not just economics—events like the National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities blend dragon boat races with Tibetan dance, creating what locals call \"cultural WiFi\" connecting traditions.
Leaders Walk the Talk 👣
From Guangxi to Xinjiang, Xi’s grassroots visits signal commitment. At Friday’s Beijing ceremony honoring 720+ unity role models, he stressed: \"Ethnic solidarity is our lifeline.\" The stats back this—28 small-population ethnic groups have now eradicated extreme poverty.
As night markets in Ningxia sizzle with lamb skewers and Hui embroidery sells via TikTok livestreams, China’s ethnic tapestry grows more vibrant. 🌸 For Gen Z watching? It’s less about policies, more about shared hotpot meals—and realizing diversity isn’t just tolerated, but celebrated.
