The "Youyu Spirit" originated in Youyu County in the northwest of Shanxi Province, which is adjacent to the edge of the Mu Us Desert and is the wind outlet area at the junction of Shanxi and Inner Mongolia.

Youyu County is located in the Loess Plateau in the northwest of Shanxi Province, near Inner Mongolia, with a bad ecological environment in modern times. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 60 years ago, successive leaders of Youyu County have united and led the cadres and masses in party member, persisted in planting trees and improved the ecological environment. The forest coverage rate of the county has increased from less than 0.3% to more than 52%, which has created an amazing miracle, effectively promoted the economic and social development of the county, and cast the "Youyu spirit" in hard exploration and practice.

The Significance of Youyu Spirit

We must adhere to the true nature of hard work. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can never be easily achieved by beating gongs and drums. Advocating hard struggle in the new era requires leading cadres to be honest and upright, share joys and sorrows with the masses, and embody the party's purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly in the spirit of hard struggle.

We must adhere to the road of enriching the people by ecology. Developing economy and protecting ecology can win-win, and the practice of ecological prosperity of Youyu people explains the development concept of "clear water and green mountains are priceless".

We should stick to the belief that we should contribute to the future. You Yu 2 1 has served as the secretary of the county party committee for more than 70 years. He has drawn a blueprint to the end, changed his direction and changed his mind, which proves once again that only with the feeling of "I don't have to succeed" can producers in China establish their belief and pursuit of contributing to the great cause in the future.
