President Xi Calls for Collective Effort to Preserve China’s Iconic Landmark
Chinese President Xi Jinping has rallied for stronger efforts to protect the Great Wall, emphasizing its role as a symbol of Chinese civilization and urging younger generations to safeguard this 'precious heritage.' In a heartfelt reply to villagers near Beijing’s Badaling Great Wall, Xi praised local efforts to preserve the site while boosting community prosperity through cultural tourism. 🌏📜
'The Great Wall is not just stones—it’s the soul of our nation,' Xi wrote, encouraging residents to 'protect it like their homes' and share its stories. Since 2012, his administration has prioritized transforming the landmark into a Great Wall National Cultural Park, blending history with modern sustainability goals.
Shixia Village locals, who wrote to Xi about their conservation work, now lead initiatives like heritage tours and cultural workshops. 🛠️👩🌾 Their efforts mirror a nationwide push to integrate ancient sites into China’s vision for a 'strong socialist culture'—proving that preserving the past can fuel future growth.
Think of it as the ultimate #ThrowbackThursday project: combining tech, tourism, and tradition to keep history alive. 💡🚀 Whether you're a history buff or a sustainability advocate, Xi’s message is clear: protecting treasures like the Great Wall isn’t just duty—it’s legacy.
