  The green grass of the Jinyintan grassland In the summer season look like  a beautiful green carpet, and the White clouds surrounding the snow capped mountains,at the same time, many Herds of cattle and sheep are look like many beautiful ornaments, embedded between grasslands and snow capped mountains.

At the Tibetan sheep breeding base in Huangshuiyuan, Haiyan County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,The manager,Dongzhu,was busy to recording various data, adjusting the feed ratio at the same time,so as busy as a bee.Looking at every shiny and robust Tibetan sheep , Dong Zhu's face was filled with a happy smile.

“How's your sheep doing?”at this moment, a sincere voice came from the door.

“Oh, isn't this Director Zhou? Last week, the lamb had diarrhea. If you hadn't taken the medicine in time, the loss would have been huge.”Dong Zhu immediately reached forward with his hands and walked up to Zhou Lei as soon as he saw that it was him.

At the moment when the two of them held hands, one person's eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration, while the other's eyes were filled with encouragement and comfort.

This scene truthfully depicts the deep friendship between officials from Shandong for support Qinghai, Zhou Lei, who also the Deputy Director of the Haibei Prefecture Plateau Ecological Livestock Science and Technology Demonstration Park Management Committee, and Dong Zhu.At the same time, there have also been real scenes of countless aid officials like Zhou Lei working together with local officials and masses since the implementation of The pairing assistance to Qinghai.

Zhou Lei,who has extended the deadline for assisting Qinghai three times and persisted in dedication for six years,He brought advanced agricultural and pastoral technologies to this snowy plateau,and forging a path of assistance interwoven with knowledge and sweat through his persistent pursuit.

This is a path of dedication that spans thousands of rivers and mountains, a path of sowing hope through hard work, and also a path of unity and cooperation for mutual benefit.

On this road, all the officials who assist Qinghai are filled with enthusiasm and firm beliefs.It is also their hard work and dedication that led to a huge change in many characteristic advantageous industries starting witch from scratch,and from dispersion to aggregation.

Liu Lizhi, the director of the Cold Water Fish Breeding and Nursery Base in Menyuan Hui Autonomous County, Haibei Prefecture,every day at 8 o'clock, he always arrives at the breeding workshop of the base on time, carefully records various data by the fish pond, and starts doing various tasks such as feeding fish and cleaning the fish pond.“It's hard to imagine how the ice, snow, mountain springs, and cold water from the Qilian Mountains could nurture fish fry without The pairing assistance for Qinghai.”

From the Tamin Chagan Desert to the source of the Three Rivers, from the shores of Qinghai Lake to the Heshang Valley, The cadres who have come to assist Qinghai, with a spirit of responsibility and dedication, are writing a magnificent poem of revitalizing industries and enriching the people on the vast land of Qinghai. They are like the gentle breeze and rain, quietly nourishing the soil of people's livelihood;and also like a lighthouse, it illuminates the boundless aspirations of the people of all ethnic groups in Qinghai for a better life.

Suo Nanji, who is studying ideological and political education at Qinghai University for Nationalities, still wears the pair of sports shoes gifted to her by Xu Hongfen, a cadre of Jiangsu's aid to Qinghai and the principal of the Senior High Schoolof Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. These shoes are the most precious item in her heart, carrying a deep friendship that spans thousands of miles.“Put on these shoes and pursue your dreams!”Xu Hongfen's words were warm and powerful, still inspiring Sonanji to move forward. Whenever he puts on these shoes, Suo Nanji seems to feel the heavy love and expectations of Xu Hongfen. During her time at Hainan Senior High School, Xu Hongfen not only provided her with meticulous care and guidance, but also patiently answered her questions and provided her with great encouragement and support spiritually.“It is precisely because of Teacher Xu that I have the opportunity to step out of the mountains, to pursuing my dreams, and learning various skills. Therefore, in the future, I will go back and build my hometown.”

During his inspection tour of Qinghai in June 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the pairing-up cooperation between eastern and western regions and the counterpart support, including in education, have achieved remarkable outcomes. These accomplishments fully demonstrate the strength of the CPC leadership and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and embody the warmth of the Chinese nation as one big family.

This warmth has illuminated the light of hope for the development of the Batang grassland.

Looking back at the past, the weak power infrastructure in the Yushu area severely constrained the local economic development and improvement of people's livelihoods. In order to change this dilemma, State Grid Corporation of China actively responded to the call of the Party Central Committee and made every effort to promote the Yushu Second Circuit 330 kV Line Project. This year, the 507.5 kilometer long power "sky road" will carry a special mission and significance, becoming a new driving force for the development of Yushu area.

This warmth profoundly changes the quality of life and spiritual outlook of the people in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau region.

“Since the establishment of the blood purification center at Yushu People's Hospital, I can do dialysis right at my doorstep. Not only do I not feel tired from running back and forth, but my daughter can also take care of her small family with peace of mind.” Zhuoma, a 60 year old resident of Yushu City, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, is now in much better physical condition compared to six months ago. Recalling the years of treatment in Xining, it was a significant burden for the Zhuoma family.“We need to rent a house in Xining and need someone to take care ofme. Therefore, my daughter has been taking care of me and can't care about her own family. At that time, I had the idea of giving up treatment” With the dedicated assistance of officials from Beijing to aid Qinghai, the Blood Purification Center of Yushu Prefecture People's Hospital was officially established in September last year. This not only eliminates the trouble of long-distance travel for medical treatment for surrounding residents, but also greatly improves the level of local medical services and enhances the quality of life for patients.

This warmth is like warm sunshine, shining brightly in the actual actions of the cadres assisting Qinghai.

In the office of the director of the People's Hospital of Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, a special banner records a historic moment. In March 2024, Ms. Lin, a tourist from Macau, suddenly lost consciousness for one hour during her trip to Qinghai. She was urgently sent to the People's Hospital of Haixi Prefecture and diagnosed with acute cerebral infarction, requiring immediate thrombectomy surgery.“Although there is remote guidance from a team of experts from Zhejiang to assist Qinghai, we are still quite nervous as we are the ones who carry out the surgery ourselves”“Thanks to the medical team established by Zhejiang to assist Qinghai, we were able to systematically carry out complex surgeries such as intracranial artery thrombectomy and aneurysm, ”said Ma Tianxiang.

From "aid technology" to "Qinghai's capabilities", Qinghai's characteristic agriculture and animal husbandry, clean energy, ecotourism and other industries have achieved leapfrog development; Significant improvements have been made in areas such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure related to people's livelihoods; Professional and technical talents continue to emerge, and the ability to independently "generate blood" continues to strengthen. The land of Jiangyuan has undergone a remarkable transformation and a new atmosphere.

This change has made Tibetan student Mache Rencuo the first student from Guoluo, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, to enter the music hall from the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. Students from pastoral areas have been admitted to their desired universities and pursued their dreams;

This change has reduced the referral rate of 20 assisted hospitals in the counties to 7.49%, achieving the goal of "minor illnesses not leaving the county and moderate illnesses not leaving the state".

Adhering to the needs of the assisted areas and the capabilities of the supported areas, the assistance to Qinghai has always resonated with the development of Qinghai. On the new journey, the flame of assisting the youth is still burning brightly. When the new batch of officials who aid Qinghai carry their bags, take over the "relay baton", and carry sincere emotions towards the people of the plateau, they gather on this land closest to the sky to form a nourishing rain for the plateau, writing a new chapter in the targeted assistance to Qinghai.
