In the scorching summer, cicadas chirp and lychee blossoms bloom in Lingnan, while fruits and melons in southern Xinjiang are fragrant. The scene of a bountiful harvest is vividly presented before our eyes. The happy scene of "crossing the mountains and seas of Guangdong and rushing to Xinjiang" slowly spreads from the banks of the Pearl River to the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. Major industrial projects have emerged, injecting strong momentum into the development of recipient areas; Guangdong doctors and teachers are dedicated to safeguarding the health and hope of people of all ethnic groups; Cultural integration is like a spring breeze and rain, allowing the beautiful vision of "pomegranate seeds as a family" to take root and sprout... Since the 9th National Conference on Supporting Xinjiang, Guangdong's aid to Xinjiang has deeply implemented the spirit of the conference, implemented the deployment requirements of the central government and Guangdong Xinjiang, adhered to the focus of work on the people and grassroots, focused on strengthening software, enriching brains, improving quality, and emphasizing potential achievements, and written a wonderful answer sheet of "entering Xinjiang with goals, making achievements in Xinjiang, and leaving Xinjiang with results" in the western border of the motherland. The major project of activating the development "engine" is laid out on the vast sandy sea of Xinjiang, with photovoltaic panels neatly arranged and shining brightly under the scorching sun. This is a large-scale integrated solar energy storage base invested and built by Guangdong Energy Group in the 45th Regiment of the Third Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, covering an area of about 22100 acres with a total investment of about 3.4 billion yuan. Here, 1.46 billion kilowatt hours of electricity can be generated annually, equivalent to saving about 446300 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.1785 million tons, injecting green energy into local development and injecting new vitality into sustainable development. The income is good, and there are opportunities for learning and growth. ”After graduating, 95 year old girl Re Yihanguli Tursun entered the base to work and quickly grew into a business backbone. This project also fully reflects the careful consideration of Guangdong's industrial assistance to Xinjiang - taking employment and enriching the people as the guide, guiding Guangdong enterprises to invest and develop in Xinjiang, laying out major projects throughout Xinjiang, making full use of Xinjiang's geographical advantages and resource endowments, expanding the economic depth of Guangdong and Xinjiang provinces, and achieving two-way empowerment. The relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Aid Xinjiang Front Command introduced that this batch of industrial aid to Xinjiang is implementing the "Guangdong Enterprise Revitalization Xinjiang" project, working together with a large number of Guangdong enterprises in Xinjiang, breaking the fixed pairing relationship between "support and aid", fully utilizing the resource endowment of the whole Xinjiang, and promoting the landing of a number of major projects. In addition, Guangdong's aid to Xinjiang and Guangdong enterprises in Xinjiang jointly proposed six production and operation initiatives, including safeguarding employee rights, strengthening skills training, and fulfilling social responsibilities. In 2024, there will be over 30 key contracted enterprises between Guangdong and Singapore, with 23 actual projects implemented. The operating value of enterprises in Xinjiang and Guangdong will reach 10.5 billion yuan, and stable employment will be achieved for more than 20000 people. The dual empowerment of Guangdong's new industries and the increasing popularity of characteristic products from both regions in both directions. In June, Muyage apricot was launched and achieved a sales record of 8.46 million yuan in just 3 days. This is another agricultural product brand that has successfully incubated under the "Xinjiang South Guangdong North" project, following the upgrading of the Jiashi Xinmei industry and the brand value ranking 52nd on the China Fruit Regional Public Brand List. The trend of 'Xinjiang products moving south, Guangdong products moving north' is a microcosm of the interconnectivity between Guangdong and Singapore. It is based on the new development pattern of "dual circulation", effectively connecting upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, smoothing production and sales channels, accelerating the two-way circulation of characteristic advantageous products between the two places, and deepening commercial cooperation between the two places. In recent years, brands such as Muyage Apricot and Tangwang Gugua have achieved a global exposure of over 100 million on the internet; Guangdong cuisine, Guangdong household appliances, and Lingnan clothing are also advancing westward, selling well in the markets of Xinjiang, Central Asia, and South Asia. Nowadays, it has become within reach for "Lao Guang" to purchase Xinjiang specialties: 11 online themed pavilions are in hot operation, 7 offline experience pavilions are rooted in the bay area, and various promotional activities are in full swing, which has helped promote the growth of Xinjiang's characteristic industries and the increase of income and wealth for farmers and herdsmen. As of now, the bilateral purchase and sales amount of Yuexin's characteristic advantage products has exceeded 10 billion yuan. A 10-year-old girl named Ayixiamuguli Maimaitiyiming from Shufu County, Xinjiang, has joined a group of renowned doctors and teachers promoting happiness and well-being. Now she can happily draw and throw sandbags. But two years ago, the colorful childhood was still out of reach for her. At that time, viral keratitis left her left eye vision with only 0.05, making it difficult to recognize even the largest character on the visual acuity chart. Her family's financial difficulties also made treatment unlikely. In September 2023, a love relay spanning thousands of miles lit up the light for Ayixia. Guangdong aid officials and doctors discovered her predicament during a free clinic and quickly took action to coordinate resources. She was able to travel to Sun Yat sen Eye Center at Sun Yat sen University and successfully underwent deep lamellar keratoplasty. After the surgery, Ayixia's left eye vision recovered to 0.4. The world is clearer now. It's the uncles and aunts from Guangdong who gave me light! "Recalling this experience, her innocent voice was filled with gratitude. Ayixia is one of the beneficiaries of the Guangdong Medical Aid Xinjiang Key Project "Guangdong New Bright Journey". Guangdong's aid to Xinjiang has always prioritized the well-being of the people, regularly carrying out medical and welfare activities such as "Guangming Xing", "Xiaojie Xing", and "Science Popularization Xing". A total of 2155 cases of free cataract surgery and 2400 cases of free treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis have been carried out. In addition, efforts will be made to build a strong medical and health network at the county, town, and village levels, and to strengthen the defense line of grassroots health. The continuous optimization and upgrading of Guangdong's "clustered" medical aid to Xinjiang has also led to a new leap in the medical level of the recipient areas. By efficiently operating the national regional medical center (relying on the First People's Hospital of Kashgar) and implementing the "Guangdong Famous Doctors Entering Xinjiang Project", Guangdong's medical aid to Xinjiang integrates the front and rear forces, tackles high incidence and difficult diseases, and fills the medical technology gap in southern Xinjiang and even the whole Xinjiang. At the same time, the construction of platforms such as the Xinjiang Branch Center of Sun Yat sen University International Ophthalmology Medical Center further strengthens the ability to serve all prefectures in southern Xinjiang and the "the Belt and Road" country. In 2024, the outpatient volume of the center exceeded 33000, with 15000 discharged patients. The proportion of third - and fourth level surgeries reached 89.22%, and the admission rate for difficult and critical cases reached 68%. Education is the foundation of people's livelihood. At the Central Primary School in Tokezak Town, Shufu County, the campus has undergone a complete transformation, with red cultural elements visible everywhere, modern facilities complete, and diverse traditional cultural clubs. Last year, the school was awarded the title of "National Model Collective for Ethnic Unity and Progress", which is another achievement of Guangzhou's education assistance work. Not far away, the completion of the Guangzhou New City Experimental Middle School project, which is fully supported by aid funds for Xinjiang, is imminent. The school is fully managed by Guangzhou Union High School and will officially start classes in September. This is a brand new fully constructed middle school, covering an area of over 200 acres, and has invested 220 million yuan in aid to Xinjiang, opening up a new mode and track of education.

The continuous gathering of high-quality educational resources injects vitality into the high-quality development of education in the recipient areas. Guangdong Aid to Xinjiang, in conjunction with the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education, continuously deepens the efforts of "group based" education aid to Xinjiang. On the basis of solidly promoting the "14th Five Year Plan" for education assistance to Xinjiang, we have innovatively introduced the "Guangdong Province Education Assistance Plan", implemented 141 projects, and sent a total of 1136 teachers and college students to support education, effectively promoting the transformation of education assistance to Xinjiang from "blood transfusion assistance" to "blood making and strong foundation". Spread the cultural background from "rich pockets" to "rich heads". Abdullah Musajiang, a student at Jiashi County No. 4 Middle School, often accompanies lion dance in his spare time. In the first dragon and lion competition in Kashgar last year, his team won the championship. The person in charge of the Guangdong Aid Xinjiang Work Team stationed in Jiashi County introduced that Foshan Aid Xinjiang has introduced a professional coaching team to provide regular guidance. Jiashi County has established more than 100 dragon and lion teams, and the seeds of traditional culture have taken root and sprouted locally. English songs and dances bring joy to the borderlands, Lingnan lion dances leap over the old city of Kashgar, and the millennium tide echoes in the pearls of the Silk Road... As more Lingnan intangible cultural heritage treasures cross thousands of miles and become popular, Lingnan culture continues to integrate into the lives of people of all ethnic groups. Guangdong's aid to Xinjiang carefully lays the foundation of Chinese culture in the recipient areas, continuously consolidating the foundation of cultural identity. As a new cultural landscape in Kashgar, the "Joyful Reading Guangdong Fun" city book bar located in the city center is becoming increasingly popular. As the first book bar in Xinjiang with a focus on audio-visual reading, this place is equipped with advanced digital reading equipment and regularly holds lectures by famous authors and boutique book fairs. Since its opening, it has attracted about 50000 readers and held 39 various reading activities. A book bar and an audio-visual library are not only a great place to share the fragrance of books, but also a bridge for cultural exchange and integration. In recent years, Guangdong's aid to Xinjiang has also held national reading activities such as the Kashgar branch of the Southern Book Fragrance Festival. The "Guangdong Yuedu" brand has become an effective carrier for spreading modern civilization and marks the upgrade of the targeted aid to Xinjiang from "rich pockets" to "rich heads". The footsteps of summer vacation are approaching, and a football feast spanning mountains and seas is about to ignite the summer passion of Kashgar. The 2025 Guangdong Zhangjiakou "Pomegranate Seed Cup" Youth Football Invitation Tournament is ready to take off, and more than ten young teams from both regions will pursue their dreams on the green field. This brand competition has become a new platform for young people from Guangdong and Singapore to hold hands and connect their hearts. The newly built Kashgar Basketball Park (including 20 standard courts) has hosted the Guangdong New Basketball Carnival for two consecutive years, with professional coaches and athletes such as Du Feng and Hu Mingxuan providing enthusiastic support... The competition on the court not only hones the physical fitness of young people, but also allows them to gain sincere friendship through sweat. From the interaction between cadres and the masses to the extensive networking among young people, from sports collisions to the integration of culture and tourism, Guangdong's aid to Xinjiang is an innovative carrier and expansion platform, promoting the improvement and expansion of the "three exchanges". As of now, over 1000 Kashgar teenagers have been organized to study in Beijing, Guangdong, Fujian, and Shaanxi; Organize Hong Kong and Macau university students and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to come to Kazakhstan for exchange; Facilitate online pairing and letter exchange among over 200000 Guangdong New Youth. Strengthen team building and build an "iron army" for Guangdong's assistance to Xizang and Xinjiang. In April, the leading group of Guangdong's support to Tibet and Xinjiang and counterpart cooperation held a meeting and pointed out that this year is the key year for the decisive victory of the 14th Five Year Plan and the planning of the 15th Five Year Plan, and also the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is of great significance to do a good job in counterpart support. The original intention is like a rock, and the mission is on our shoulders. More than 1000 cadres and talents from the tenth batch of Guangdong's aid to Xinjiang have fully, accurately, and comprehensively implemented the Party's governance strategy for Xinjiang in the new era, with the main line of strengthening the sense of community of the Chinese nation, anchoring the overall goal of "leading the way", and solidly promoting the support of people's livelihood, intelligence, industry, culture, and ethnic "three exchanges" and team building. The forward command center was awarded the advanced collective of "National Unity and Family" in the autonomous region, and the Guangdong Aid Xinjiang Medical Team and the Central Primary School of Tokezak Town in Shufu County were awarded the title of National Model Collective for National Unity and Progress. The steady and far-reaching aid to Xinjiang cannot be achieved without strong organizational support and a reliable team of cadres and talents. Guangdong's aid to Xinjiang has always put iron discipline, strict work style, and integrity at the forefront, implemented the main responsibility of comprehensively governing the Party strictly, persistently strengthened organizational construction and political experience, ideological refinement, and practical training of the team, promoted cadres and talents to take on practical responsibilities in the aid receiving areas, and built an iron army of aid to Xinjiang.
