■ The spring comes early, and it is the right time to plant green. At this time of year, China gradually sets off a wave of afforestation from south to north. Today, we participate in tree planting together, which is to call on everyone to take action, not only to plant pieces of green on the vast land of the motherland, but also to sow green seeds in the hearts of the people, to welcome the spring of hope and build a beautiful China together.

■ China's artificial afforestation scale is the largest in the world, and it is still continuing to afforest. China has made great contributions to the greening of the earth and the improvement of global climate change, and the Chinese people have made great contributions. Forests are not only reservoirs, money banks, grain banks, but also carbon reservoirs. Afforestation is a very meaningful thing. It is a noble cause that has made great achievements in the contemporary era and benefits for thousands of years. It should be done consistently and continuously.

■ In the past, willow trees were planted in Beijing, because Beijing is suitable for planting willow trees. At the same time, we should pay attention to combining the proportion of coniferous forests to make them more in line with the requirements of biological and ecological chain. We should strengthen colorization on the basis of greening, plant a variety of colorful tree species, strive to build a global forest city, and build Beijing more beautiful.

■ At present and in the future, green development is a major strategy for China's development. Carrying out voluntary tree planting for all is a vivid practice to promote the greening of the land and build a beautiful China. All regions and departments should organize voluntary tree planting in light of the actual situation. It is necessary to innovate organizational methods, enrich and conscientious forms, provide more convenience for the general public to participate in voluntary tree planting, and achieve "full-round due diligence, diversity and due diligence, convenience and due diligence". Let's take active action, starting from planting trees, planting green water, green mountains, gold and silver mountains that belong to everyone, and draw a new picture of beautiful China.

In Dongba Central Park, the cadres and young pioneers of the capital who participated in voluntary tree planting are working hard.

General Secretary Xi Jinping put on a raincoat, picked up a shovel and walked to the tree planting site, and participated in the tree planting crowd with the responsible comrades of Beijing and the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau.

While working, General Secretary Xi Jinping taught his children how to plant trees, and talked with the children about their study and life.
