"Let me see what kind of food everyone eats." During his investigation in Liaoning, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the elderly restaurant in Mudan Community, Santaizi Street, Huanggu District, Shenyang City, and communicated with the elderly at dinner. "We should do a good job in the cause and industry of aging", "we should strengthen the breeding and cultivation of the next generation to ensure physical and mental health"... One old and one young person is concerned about the cause of people's health; A myriad of thoughts, the mind is the warmth of thousands of families.

People's health is an important symbol of national prosperity and national prosperity. The report of the Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China regards "healthy China" as an important aspect of China's overall development goal in 2035, puts forward "putting the protection of people's health in the strategic position of giving priority to development, improving people's health promotion policies", and makes a comprehensive deployment of "promoting the construction of a healthy China". From optimizing the population development strategy to implementing the national strategy of actively responding to population aging; From deepening the reform of the medical and health system to paying attention to mental health and mental health, it fully reflects the great importance attached to people's health, and fully demonstrates the people centered development thought.

"The economy needs to develop, and health needs to be improved. The people's sense of gain, happiness, and security can not be separated from health." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Health Poverty Alleviation Project has helped nearly 10 million families who have returned to poverty due to illness successfully get rid of poverty. The average life expectancy has increased from 74.8 years to 78.2 years. It is civilized, healthy Green and environment-friendly lifestyles are increasingly popular... This is the decade in which China's health cause has made the greatest progress, and the decade in which people's sense of health gains has been growing. China's main health indicators rank in the forefront of high-income countries, and people's health rights and interests have been fully protected.

The quality of health is concentrated in the ever-changing figures; Healthy quality is contained in the details of a better life. In the transition from full and good food to nutritious and healthy food, the concept of health is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; In response to the expectation that "the people not only want to be able to see a good doctor, but also want to be free from and less sick, more comfortable to see a doctor, and more considerate service", the reform of the medical and health system continued to deepen; The urban and rural environment is more livable with the improvement of blue sky and white clouds, the effective suppression of thick smoke and heavy haze, and the expanding green landscape; In the courage of "people first, life first, and protecting people's life safety and health at all costs", the public health protection network is firmly woven... It is precisely under the unremitting efforts of popularizing healthy life, optimizing health services, improving health security, building a healthy environment, and developing health industries that the construction of a healthy China is fast and steady, and the health of all people is more guaranteed.

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "the most important indicator of modernization is people's health, which is the basis of people's happy life." With the continuous improvement of the level of economic and social development and people's living standards, people pay more attention to the quality of life, health and safety, and health needs are diversified and differentiated. By giving priority to ensuring people's health, accelerating the formation of a healthy lifestyle, mode of production, economic and social development model and governance model, and striving to ensure people's health in an all-round and full cycle way, we will surely lay a solid healthy foundation for the realization of the second centennial goal and the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
