On the eighth day of the first month of the Bingwu horse, Lanzhou.

　　When the Yellow River rose with the first clear wave of this spring, the conference hall of the Ningwo Zhuang Hotel was full of applause and spring. This is the moment when the afterglow of the Year of the Snake and the prologue of the Year of the Bingwu Horse are handed over, and it is also the third consecutive year that Lanzhou has taken the strong provincial capital as the theme of the first meeting of the New Year. This is not only a convention, but also a declaration: in this provincial capital that passes through the city of the nine-curved Yellow River, the clockwork of development is always the tightest; The clarion call for progress must be blown earlier.

　　This is the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan". Standing on the coordinate axis of time and looking back, since the July 2023 Provincial Action Work Promotion Conference in the province, Lanzhou has embarked on a "Lanzhou Road" to strengthen the provincial capital with the strategic determination of "flying through the chaotic clouds and still calmly"; With the belief and confidence of "all forces and all strengths", it has condensed the "power of Lanzhou" of the strong provincial capital; with the spirit of struggle of "the more difficult and dangerous it is, the more forward it is", it has solved the "difficulty of Lanzhou" in strengthening the provincial capital; With the scientific method of "to the vast and subtle", the "Lanzhou Change" of the strong provincial capital has been realized.

　　"It is necessary to sharpen the character of 'pragmatic', establish and practice a correct view of political performance, and promote the steady and far-reaching development of a strong provincial capital with the style of 'doing it in practice'; it is necessary to adhere to the pursuit of 'first', always maintain a high-spirited and enterprising mental state, and consciously shoulder the mission of strengthening the provincial capital with the consciousness of 'walking in the forefront'." Zhang Xiaoqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, delivered a loud speech. Truthfulness is down-to-earth practice; The first is the ambition to bravely stand at the forefront of the tide. Let us follow the context of this grand event and understand the ambition and temperature of Lanzhou's strong provincial capital from the three dimensions of economic development, social environment and people's livelihood quality.

　　The strength of the economy is the strength of the provincial capital. On the front line of the industry, Lanzhou is undergoing a profound reshaping of muscles and bones. "Strive to improve the overall efficiency of the '161' scientific and technological innovation system, vigorously develop new quality productivity, and make Lanzhou's '3+2' modern industrial system stronger." The relevant deployment in the strong provincial capital conference pointed out the core path of economic development. Data is the most powerful testimony. In 2025, Lanzhou's total industrial output value above designated size will reach 300 billion yuan, ranking first in the province's contribution rate; The petrochemical industry exceeded the 100 billion yuan mark, and the added value of strategic emerging industries increased from 6.3% to 11.5%. This is the resilience and vitality of the economy, and it is also the confidence and confidence of a strong provincial capital.

　　The environment is soft power and competitiveness. "Adhere to the emancipation of the mind, dare to be the first, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times, pioneer and innovate, and lead the 'upward breakthrough' of development with the 'continuous icebreaking' of ideology." This sentence injected ideological impetus into the construction of Lanzhou's business environment. From the "shop two" service to the "one network office", from the "package and grasp" system to the "six must-visit" mechanism, Lanzhou is exchanging the temperature of reform for the speed of development. Ecological green is also an important background color for environmental changes. The continuous improvement of the ecological environment and the significant improvement of the living environment have made this city with two mountains and one river break through the limitations of the geographical pattern and write an ecological picture of "the city is in the green and the water is in the scenery". "Lanzhou Blue" has moved from "light blue" to "dark blue", and the banks of the Yellow River have become more and more beautiful.

　　The ultimate direction of development is people. "Persist in keeping in mind the purpose and doing practical things, continuously achieve new results in strengthening the construction of inclusive, basic and comprehensive people's livelihood, and strive to make every 'small home' in Lanzhou steaming and gather into the prosperous development picture of Lanzhou." Zhang Xiaoqiang's words became the warmest footnote of the conference. The improvement of people's livelihood is reflected in specific details. The "heating revolution" continues to deepen, the "petitioners ask for warmth" are carried out on a regular basis, the renovation of the old pipe network is accelerated, and the quality of heating is significantly improved; the task of "ensuring the delivery of buildings and houses" has been fully completed, allowing many families to realize their dream of living in peace; steadily promote the resolution of the problems left over from the history of shed reform, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the masses...... The most touching thing is actually those steaming "little days". As expected by the conference, the sense of gain, happiness and security of every Lanzhou person has converged into a picture of the city's thriving development, confirming the temperature of development.

　　"Insist on being a good head goose, leading all the way, make every effort to promote the coordinated development of the region, firmly take the road of 'self-improvement', continue to amplify the energy of 'radiation', and form a vivid situation of 'leading geese leading and flocks of geese flying together'." This is the pattern of the provincial capital, and it is also the responsibility of the provincial capital. Only by being realistic can we go steadily and far; only by first can we create the future. When every "small home" is steaming, it gathers into the flourishing of Lanzhou, the "everyone"; when the sweat of every striver pours out the spring color of the land of Jincheng - we firmly believe that the grand vision of a strong provincial capital will surely become a magnificent reality on this land.
