In 2000, at the age of 38, I was arranged by the Publicity Center of the State Administration of Taxation to jointly shoot the activity "The Best of China's Taxation - Photography and Videography Journey" with China Tax News and China Tax Publishing House. In the summer of that year, he arrived at the Tajik Autonomous County of the Pamir Plateau in Xinjiang.
The motherland is in my heart" is a phrase that compatriots in Takku often say to me, and it is also a phrase that every tax civil servant who works there often says. "We collect taxes on the one hand, but the more important task is to defend the territorial integrity of the Motherland". It was also slowly learned that for the tax civil servants in the frontiers, they not only have to ensure the smooth progress of the tax collection task, but also shoulder the important mission of guarding the integrity of the motherland's territory.
Takkurkan County is a border county located in the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau, in the southwest of the Kashgar region, at the northern foot of the Karakoram Mountains, and in the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau. "Tashkurgan" means "stone town" in Uyghur. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it has always been the political, economic, cultural and transportation hub of the motherland's frontier. Xuanzang, a high-ranking monk in the Tang Dynasty, also visited this place. When I saw this stone town, my heart was extremely excited, the Chinese nation loves peace, and the belief in national unity is influencing generations of people all the time. And this stone town is also a testament to this great faith.
This is a picture of the tax commissioner of Takkurkan explaining the tax knowledge in the Chinese tax newspaper to a jade dealer in Pakistan, and I was surprised at the time, "Can they also understand Chinese?""After getting to know each other, I realized that because they are going to do business in China for a long time, Chinese has become a necessary bridge for communication between the two sides. At this time, a sense of awe arose in my heart. Our language is being Xi by more and more foreigners and occupies an important position.
This picture is "the snowy peaks of the Pamirs", when I saw this vast territory, the vast blue sky and white clouds, and the majestic snow-capped peaks, I was deeply shocked and truly felt the beauty and grandeur of the Pamirs. It is also a symbol of our multi-ethnic unity and tenacity. I have a deeper understanding of the responsibility and significance of border taxation civil servants shouldering taxation and guarding the territory.
This picture tells the story of my trip to the Northwest by the leaders of Yangzhou Taxation Institute and Director Peng of the office arranged a one-day seminar for tax experts and professors in the institute and the leaders of the Northwest Bureau, and the dinner was very rich and unforgettable for me. Most of the tax civil servants in Xinjiang graduated from Yangzhou Taxation College. When I was there, a professor Yang wrote two letters to me, and I later found out that most of the tax civil servants were his students. "This one is addressed to a Tibetan student, and when you meet him, pass it on to him, and he will help you a lot on your journey," he said. The second letter was addressed to his student, Director Bai of Amdo County, which roughly meant "After you meet Comrade Lao Wei, you must help him complete this task of traveling thousands of miles to collect taxes." When I crossed the Tanggula Mountain to the Amdo County State Taxation Bureau to hand over the letter to his student Bai Bureau, he read the letter and said with tears streaming down his face: "When I was studying Xi at Yangzhou Taxation College, Mr. Yang was very kind to us, and I was very moved, I don't know when I will see my teacher again!.""I also have tears in my eyes when I hear it, the teacher-student love, the comradeship, every taxpayer with this full of warmth to contribute to the motherland's tax cause.
This picture is the Namco tent primary school, where the tax civil servants of the National Taxation Bureau regularly give primary school students the best nationalist education. The patriotic education of Yangzhou Taxation College has penetrated into various primary schools in Xinjiang and the United States. Most of the Tibetan tax civil servants graduated from the Yangzhou Tax College.
This picture is the holy lake of Namco, which is the first sacred lake of the ancient Zhangxiong Buddhism Yongzhong Sect, and is one of the famous Buddhist holy places. During the Year of the Goat, hundreds of believers come on pilgrimage.
This picture was taken by me 23 years ago, I drove a pickup truck in Baoding, Hebei Province all over Xinjiang, ** over Tanggula Mountain, Kunlun Mountain to Lhasa Square, attracted a crowd of onlookers, have asked which domestic car is this?I said, "It is produced in our own country, Baoding, Hebei Province, which is a wholly-owned enterprise in China." "They were all very surprised, and they couldn't believe that we in China could produce such a car ourselves. I took the national flag given to me by the local taxation bureau and let it flutter in the central square of Lhasa. I finally realized my dream when I first started working.
In order to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of "China's Best Taxation - Photography and Video Journey", after the third plenary session of the 18th ** Committee of the Communist Party of China, the documentary "The Belt and Road Tax Collectors" is being planned and produced, which will be filmed by the "tax officials of the countries along the Belt and Road", and they themselves will tell the changes brought about by the "Belt and Road" initiative, tax growth, full treasury and people's high quality of life.
