央视聚焦宁夏绿色崛起——把绿水青山变为高质量发展动力

News Summary
In recent weeks China’s main state media have run a series of stories about how the autonomous region of Ningxia is putting ecological protection together with high‑quality economic growth. The reports stress that the region is converting its “clear waters and green mountains” (its natural environment) into “golden and silver mountains” – i.e., into smart industry, jobs and wealth.

Through many angles the coverage shows concrete actions and successes in ecological restoration, industrial linkage and rural revitalisation, creating a strong ripple effect across the country.

Examples from the reports include:

• Desert restoration on the southeast edge of the Tengger Desert – more than a thousand workers are carrying out large‑scale sand‑fixing projects, demonstrating real results in a once‑barren area.
• The Shapotou Scenic Area in Zhongwei – by building tourism that highlights its natural assets, the site is drawing visitors from all over China and proving that eco‑culture tourism can thrive.
• Series on saline‑alkali land improvement, ecological farming and the development of local commodity markets – these stories show how putting the environment first and building industry on that base are energising both countryside and towns, boosting consumption and moving the region toward shared prosperity.

Spiritual Reflection
For believers, these stories remind us that nature and work are gifts entrusted to us by the Lord. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches His disciples to wisely steward the talents, resources and responsibilities the Master has given them, managing them with justice and wisdom so that both individuals and communities benefit.

Ningxia’s experience is a picture of cherishing the land and caring for one’s neighbours – a tangible expression of protecting God’s creation and serving humanity.

May we, when we care for the environment, take part in building and help one another, do so with grateful hearts, humility and a sense of responsibility, offering our labour to God so that peace and blessings may increase in our world.

Scripture

“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many. Come and share your master’s happiness.”
— Matthew 25:21 (paraphrased)

May this verse encourage you in your daily work and stewardship of creation. Pause, listen for the Lord’s will, and find strength and peace in His Word.
