The essence of modernization is human modernization, and Chinese style modernization is the cause of hundreds of millions of people. The Communist Party of China is working for the people, and the people's aspiration for a better life is our party's goal.
"Chinese style modernization, people's livelihood is great";
"All the work of the Party and the government is for the people to live a happier life";
"Adhere to the people centered development idea, and steadily improve the level of livelihood security in development";
"Let more and more equitable achievements of modernization drive benefit all people";
…………
General Secretary Xi Jinping is full of deep feelings of the people, always adheres to the supremacy of the people, and anchors the correct direction and points out scientific methods for promoting Chinese style modernization with high-quality development.
The current and future period is a critical period for comprehensively promoting the building of a strong country and national rejuvenation with Chinese style modernization. Whether the road ahead is stormy or rough, we will have the most solid support, the most powerful confidence and the deepest strength to strengthen our confidence in winning, adhere to making people live a good life as the starting point and goal of all work, and improve people's well-being in high-quality development.
(I)
Only for the modernization of the people can it be meaningful. Only by relying on the modernization of the people can there be impetus.
Since the new era, the reason why we have been able to write two new chapters of the miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and provide a more perfect system guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more proactive spiritual force for Chinese style modernization, is to adhere to the "people's livelihood" is an important password.
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that "improving people's livelihood is the fundamental purpose of development." From winning the largest poverty alleviation battle in human history, realizing the Chinese nation's millennium dream of a well-off society, to building the world's largest high-speed railway network and highway network, to building the world's largest education system and social security system The medical and health system... the magnificent picture of development is also a magnificent answer to people's livelihood.
To do a good job in economic and social development, people's livelihood is the "compass" and the most important ruler.
In the "national account book", people's livelihood needs. About 70% of the national financial expenditure is used for people's livelihood. In 2024, the central government will allocate 66.7 billion yuan for employment subsidies, 408.5 billion yuan for transfer of common financial authority in education, and 76.5 billion yuan for basic public health services
In the "development plan", people's livelihood is the top priority. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the development of new quality productive forces is not to ignore or abandon traditional industries". The traditional industry is related to employment and people's livelihood. "You can't throw away the guy who has dinner first" reflects the consideration of people's livelihood.
On the "safety base", there is a need for people's livelihood. China is the world's largest energy consumer, and the job of energy must be firmly in our own hands. It is estimated that by 2030, the number of electric vehicles in China is expected to reach 80 million, saving more than 120 million tons of oil every year, three times the annual oil and gas output of Daqing Oilfield. Speaking of the development of the energy industry, General Secretary Xi Jinping compared "Wowotou" and "Fine Noodles": "Eat first and then eat well. We should be practical and realistic. We should neither slow down the pace of green and low-carbon development nor be too idealistic. First, we should ensure energy supply."
"Modernization depends not only on the indicator data on paper, but also on the well-being of the people." To test the effectiveness of promoting high-quality development, it is important to see whether the quality of people's life has been improved.
Work in different places and enjoy the same city treatment.
The development of the Yangtze River Delta is closely linked to integration and high quality. For 237 million "residents of the Yangtze River Delta", the most intuitive feeling is the "integration" and "quality" of life: people's livelihood is "one card", and basic public services are more convenient for certification, public transportation, and scenic spots; The integration of "one network" and "medical circle" was accelerated, and the direct settlement of outpatient expenses for medical treatment in different places was accelerated; Elderly care "integration", comprehensively carry out regional elderly care integration pilot cooperation, and establish the first cross provincial and county level model area for happy elderly care in China
The development is moving forward and people's livelihood is getting warmer.
The sunny day of Chengdu International Railway Port in Sichuan, the beautiful picture of Jishui New Migrant Village in Jiangxi, the blue sky and white clouds of Shandan Horse Farm in Gansu... Many people "bask in my" hometown blue ", setting a routine and beautiful moment. From 2013 to 2022, when the economic aggregate doubled, the average concentration of PM2.5 in key cities decreased by 57%, and the days of heavy pollution decreased by 93%. To reduce carbon, reduce pollution, expand green and grow, people really realize that "environment is people's livelihood, green mountains are beautiful, and blue sky is happiness".
The continuous transformation of development achievements into quality of life reflects the concept of "all people participate, build and enjoy together" of Chinese style modernization.
We must be deeply aware that people's yearning for a better life has generally shifted from "whether it is good or not" to "whether it is good or not". Only by grasping the people's urgent problems and taking more measures to benefit the people's livelihood and warm their hearts, can we promote the common prosperity of all people and make more tangible progress.
Minzhu Village Community, Xiejiawan Street, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. It was once known as "old and broken small", with poor houses, old pipe networks, more sewage and lack of supporting facilities. Today, there are bluestone slabs, red brick houses, and yellow jueshu. There are bright community reception halls, fully functional party and mass service centers, and community canteens with delicious food.
On April 22 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was on an inspection tour in Chongqing, walked into the community and chatted with everyone with a smile. The General Secretary pointed out that "one thing the Party Central Committee is very concerned about is to transform the old residential areas into new ones and improve the service facilities. It is hoped that Party committees and governments at all levels can invest more financial and material resources in solving people's livelihood problems and do some practical things about people's livelihood every year".
We should seek more benefits for people's livelihood and address more concerns about people's livelihood. We should properly handle the "temperature difference" between macro data and micro perception, so that people's sense of gain, happiness, and security will be more substantial, secure, and sustainable.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China. Over the past 75 years, we have always adhered to all for the people and relied on all the people to work hard. China has developed from poverty to the second largest economy in the world, creating a miracle in the history of human development. In the new journey of promoting Chinese style modernization, we are fully confident that we can create new and bigger miracles that will make the world look up to us.
(II)
High quality development is the absolute principle of the new era. To promote Chinese style modernization and achieve common prosperity for all people, high-quality development is essential in the final analysis.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "coordinated regional development is an inevitable requirement for achieving common prosperity." After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), General Secretary Xi Jinping successively presided over the forum on the theme of coordinated regional development. From Beijing Tianjin Hebei to the Yangtze River Delta, from the revitalization of the northeast to the rise of the central region, from the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to the development of the western region, the regional development strategy has been steadily implemented, the potential for coordinated development is strong, and the systematicness and pertinence of solving the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development are constantly increasing.
People's livelihood is linked with development, and people's livelihood is also linked with development. Actively cultivate new consumption growth points such as smart home, entertainment and tourism, sports events, and "fashion goods" made in China, strengthen the construction of barrier free environment and aging friendly facilities, and promote the development of waste recycling industry... In this year's Government Work Report, a list of people's livelihood is also a list of development.
Shanghai, by the Huangpu River. Once, there were high-rise buildings, simple houses, tiger windows and pavilions on one side. "Looking at the Oriental Pearl with the toilet" reflected the embarrassment and helplessness of some people in the old city.
"People build people's cities and people build people's cities for people." In July 2022, Huangpu District captured the last piece of "hard bone" - the 68 blocks and 67 blocks of Jianguo East Road, the old reform and expropriation plan came into effect. This marks the comprehensive completion of the renovation of the buildings below the second grade old li in the central urban area of Shanghai, which has lasted for many years.
The implementation of urban renewal is an important decision and deployment made by the CPC Central Committee, which is both a livelihood project and a development project. Data shows that China's urban GDP and fixed asset investment account for nearly 90% of the country's total, and the total retail sales of consumer goods account for more than 85% of the country's total. The city has become an important field for expanding domestic demand, reinforcing weakness, stabilizing investment and promoting consumption, and building a strong domestic market.
In March this year, four major actions were deployed and implemented, namely, equipment update, consumer goods trade in, recycling, and standard improvement. Only the upgrading of automobiles and household appliances will create a market space of trillion yuan.
Focusing on ensuring and improving people's livelihood, we can better meet the diverse and high-quality consumption needs of the people, better unleash the potential of domestic market demand, and inject strong impetus into economic development, transformation and upgrading.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "people's livelihood is stable, people's hearts are stable, and society is stable." Ensuring and improving people's livelihood, and weaving a solid social security network can effectively boost development confidence and enhance social consumption expectations.
Employment is the greatest livelihood, and stabilizing employment means stabilizing people's livelihood and stable development. In the first quarter of this year, the employment situation in China was generally stable, with a total of 3.03 million new urban jobs and more than 30 million migrant workers working out of poverty. By implementing the strategy of giving priority to employment, strengthening the policy of giving priority to employment, enhancing the vitality of micro entities, and cultivating a continuous and powerful new driving force for employment, a virtuous circle of economic growth and employment expansion can be formed.
By the end of 2023, the number of people covered by basic medical insurance in China will reach 1.334 billion, and nearly 80 million low-income people will enjoy insurance subsidies. At present, the total number of drugs in the new version of the national medical insurance drug catalog has increased to 3088. It is the largest medical security network in the world, which can protect people's health.
"We stand together through thick and thin, share weal and woe, and become lifelong partners." In March this year, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Xicheng District, Beijing, for the first time in China, visually impaired people read the Braille version and large print version of the marriage registration notice and marriage vows, and went through the marriage registration procedures without obstacles.
The addition of intelligent voice prompts, handrails and barriers, and Braille signs to protect the educational rights and interests of the disabled, and improve the employment quality of the disabled... This vividly proves from one side that no Chinese modernization can fall behind.
Safeguarding and improving people's livelihood can better win advantages, initiative and future for development.
Xicheng Village, Lujiang County, Hefei, Anhui Province. Tao Youbao, a villager, called his household photovoltaic equipment "Sunshine Bank":
By 2023, the cumulative installed capacity of household distributed photovoltaic in China will exceed 115 million kilowatts, equivalent to the total installed capacity of about five Three Gorges power stations. It is predicted that the area of PV roofs that can be installed in rural areas of China is about 27.3 billion square meters, more than 80 million households. Household PV will not only help the overall revitalization of rural areas, but also strongly promote the green transformation and development of energy.
The upbringing and education of children and medical care for the elderly are "domestic and national affairs".
A nursery care center in Tongren, Guizhou, has established a care team focusing on medical care, nursery care, childcare and nursing to enrich the activities of infants in the kindergarten, so that children can grow up healthily and parents can rest assured.
An elderly care institution in Beijing, in addition to ECG, blood sampling and other examinations, also provides various aging and refined services. The intelligent mattress not only has the function of leaving the bed alarm, but also can monitor the heart rate, breathing and sleep quality, and give early warning to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through data analysis.
Strengthening the "one old and one young" service will benefit thousands of families and further release the development potential. At present, the scale of China's silver economy is about 7 trillion yuan, and it is expected to reach about 30 trillion yuan by 2035.
In a better life, there are people's livelihood, development and modernization.
(III)
Development and people's livelihood affect and condition each other, and are dialectically unified. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that: "We should strengthen the material basis for safeguarding and improving people's livelihood through sustainable development, and create more effective demand through constantly safeguarding and improving people's livelihood." It is of great significance to comprehensively grasp the dialectical relationship between development and people's livelihood, and earnestly safeguard and improve people's livelihood, to consolidate and enhance the economic recovery trend, and to promote Chinese style modernization with high-quality development.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "We must make choices. What on earth do we want? The ecological environment is very important from the perspective of whether people are satisfied or not, and whether they agree or not. It is also the most important point from the perspective of the focus of improving people's livelihood." Choosing or giving up not only reflects feelings and patterns, but also reflects wisdom and methods.
At one time, "the Yangtze River was sick", chemical engineering surrounded the river, illegal sand mining, ecological degradation. Now, the "Smiling Fairy" finless porpoise has returned, the "riverside rust belt" has become the "riverside green belt", and the beautiful scenery of "clear water and green banks, fish leaping and birds flying" has reappeared.
"We should jointly focus on major protection and not engage in major development" and "take the path of ecological priority and green development".
The transformation and upgrading of the industry "vacating the cage and changing the bird" is forced by the "transformation and transfer" of relevant enterprises; Various measures have been taken to promote job transfer and re employment, and "fishers" have become "fish protectors"... The transformation of old and new drivers has been accelerated, and the provinces and cities along the river have "comprehensive green transformation". Each choice conforms to the general trend of green development and shapes new driving forces and advantages for development.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "we should not only focus on the current situation, but also focus on the long-term". Based on the current situation and looking at the long term, it is an important methodology for an officer to start his own business.
The project of "calculating data from the east to the west" has a strong strategic, leading and innovative nature. Guizhou is deeply involved in the super project of "calculating data from the east to the west", which opens up the artery of "calculating" and creates new opportunities to enter the fast lane of digital economy development.
Back in 2014, Guizhou, which is located in a corner of the southwest, is also one of the main battlefields to fight against poverty nationwide. It has a large number of poor people, a weak industrial foundation, and a shortage of scientific and technological talents. It can also join hands with the "big data" that stands at the forefront of the times.
"We should not only do practical things that can be seen, touched, and benefited by the people, but also do good things that can pave the way for future generations, lay the foundation, and benefit the long-term". Based on the current situation, solve specific problems step by step, and make small wins into big ones; In the long run, the development of large accounts, long-term accounts, overall accounts and comprehensive accounts will be more dynamic and potential.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "we should further divide the 'cake' while promoting high-quality development and making the 'cake' bigger". This requires us to adhere to the unity of efficiency and fairness, do our best and act according to our ability, do things that can be done under realistic conditions, and let the masses get real benefits.
To do our best, we must adhere to the principle of taking a long time to do our best, make up for the shortcomings of people's livelihood, secure the bottom line of people's livelihood, and make the work of benefiting people's livelihood, warming people's hearts, and following the public opinion in the hearts of the masses.
To do what we can, we must adhere to the principle of gradual progress, make overall plans for needs and possibilities, and ensure and improve people's livelihood on the basis of economic development and financial sustainability.
It is a long-term task to promote the common prosperity of all people, and it is necessary to select some regions to try first and set an example.
Zhejiang has made remarkable achievements in exploring and solving the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development. It has the foundation and advantages to carry out the construction of the demonstration area of common prosperity, but also has some weaknesses. In May 2021, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Opinions on Supporting Zhejiang's High Quality Development and Building a Demonstration Area of Common Prosperity. Zhejiang has explored the way to achieve common prosperity for the whole country first, and new progress has been made in "Zhejiang" for common prosperity in the past three years.
Action is the best manifesto, and hard work is the most simple methodology. To grasp the dialectical relationship between development and people's livelihood, the key is to firmly establish the concept of achievements that benefit the people, and "be a firm activist and doer of Chinese style modernization".
"To be broad and to be subtle" is the way to success. When describing the important role of Northeast China in ensuring China's food security, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "it is equally glorious and important to continue to be the center of China's cutting-edge science and technology in Beidachang and the Yangtze River Delta." This deeply enlightens us that we should not only plan one area from the whole bureau, find the strategic position in the overall situation of the country, but also serve the overall situation with one area, Strengthen accurate thinking, identify their own characteristics and advantages, and form a strong driving force and resultant force to promote Chinese modernization.
People's livelihood is tied to the people's hearts and minds, which is the biggest politics. Adhering to the value concept of people first, highlighting the people's character in the direction of modernization, seizing the initiative when it is right, and bringing all efforts together to achieve a virtuous circle of economic development and improving people's livelihood, we will certainly gather the great power to promote Chinese style modernization in the united struggle of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, and write a magnificent chapter of Chinese style modernization.
