After an extraordinary 2023, China's economy has ushered in a new start in 2024 while forging ahead.
In the face of an increasingly complex and severe domestic and international environment, a consensus has become clearer: promoting high-quality development is not only the fundamental way out for breaking through, but also a difficult road that needs to overcome many difficulties.
Since the beginning of the year, under the guidance of Xi Jinping's economic thought, all localities and departments have seized the opportunity to work hard, and hundreds of millions of people have worked together to strengthen China's economy on the road of high-quality development.
Seeking progress while maintaining stability - showing a new atmosphere in promoting high-quality development
At the beginning of the new year, new consumption scenarios and new business formats continue to emerge, and the flow of people and logistics is surging, showing a new atmosphere of high-quality development.
The more complex the situation and the more arduous the tasks facing China's economy, the more important it is to adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Economic Thought and continue to create a new situation while unswervingly promoting high-quality development.
Seeking progress while maintaining stability, and constantly consolidating the foundation for economic recovery——
The local two sessions, which are being held one after another, have sent more positive signals: all localities have taken efforts to expand domestic demand as an important starting point for stabilizing economic fundamentals, and continue to consolidate a stable foundation and accumulate momentum.
Promote stability with progress and continue to promote the transformation and upgrading of economic structure—
Anchoring high quality, but also at key points——
Finance is at the heart of the modern economy. The economy is prosperous, the finance is prosperous, the economy is strong, the finance is strong.
To promote the high-quality development of finance, consensus is being gathered and actions are firmer: strengthen the party's overall leadership over financial work, continue to optimize the financial ecology, effectively improve the quality and efficiency of financial services for the real economy, promote the healthy development of the virtuous cycle of economy and finance, and take the road of financial development with Chinese characteristics.
After the smooth transition of epidemic prevention and control, economic recovery is a process of wave-like development and tortuous progress.
In the face of many uncertainties, unswervingly promoting high-quality development is the greatest certainty for China's economy, and it is also where the confidence and confidence of China's economy to ride the wind and waves lies.
Towards the new - to shape the new momentum of development in innovation-driven development
Maintain strategic focus, lead the comprehensive revitalization of the industry with scientific and technological innovation, work together from the central to the local level, focus on cultivating and stimulating new kinetic energy, and constantly activate new engines of high-quality development.
Adhere to the guidance of scientific and technological innovation, and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity.
Firmly grasp the "bull's nose" of scientific and technological innovation, grow joints, and move towards the new.
At the beginning of the year, all localities focus on new quality productivity to seek new strategies and make practical moves:
Only by improving the quality of the industrial system can China's economy be more resilient and stable.
Benefiting the people - increasing people's livelihood in solving problems and making up for shortcomings
Making people's lives happy is the "great man of the country".
"We must take meeting the people's growing needs for a better life as the starting point and end point, and continuously transform the fruits of development into quality of life...... General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition profoundly reveals the value pursuit of promoting high-quality development.
"One old and one young" affects hundreds of millions of families and is related to people's livelihood and well-being
Every branch and leaf is always about love. Turning over the 2024 "people's livelihood list" in various places, the measures to promote the sharing of development fruits are heartwarming:
The upbringing and education of children, the employment and success of young people, and the medical care for the elderly...... None of them is trivial.
Only by entering from the "small incisions" of people's livelihood, carrying out major development projects and people's livelihood projects to the hearts of the masses, and fighting the battle of people's livelihood security, can we support the "great happiness" of the masses.
Breaking the waves and moving forward - to create new competitive advantages in the construction of a new development pattern
The law is rejuvenated, and Vientiane is renewed.
Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core and under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping's economic thought, the Chinese economy will unswervingly promote high-quality development, rebound and long-term improvement, not only will better benefit hundreds of millions of Chinese, but will also continue to enhance the development of the world and write a new chapter of beauty and beauty.
Create a new highland for the service outsourcing industry
The digital economy has accelerated its development
"Oil head to tail" to boost industrial upgrading
The people-centered work orientation embodies our party's clear stance on leading and promoting cultural construction.
To thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping Cultural Thought, we must firmly stand on the people's position, respect the people's dominant position, protect the people's cultural rights and interests, promote the unity of meeting the people's cultural needs and enhancing the people's spiritual strength, and enhance the people's sense of cultural gain and happiness.
"Constantly solve the fundamental question of 'for whom, on whom, and who am I'?"
At the beginning of the new year, the 200th anniversary tour of Peking Opera music sponsored by the China Academy of Drama and other units was staged at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, and the wonderful performances of nearly 100 artists won bursts of applause and applause from the audience.
Only people-centered works can be better rooted in the hearts of the people.
On October 23, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a letter to the teachers and students of the China Academy of Drama, encouraging them to "explore the true meaning of art in teaching and learning, and sharpen their original intention of art in serving the people". For more than 3 years, the peach and plum are fragrant, and the virtue and art are both sweet.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has adhered to the principle that cultural development is for the people, cultural development relies on the people, and the fruits of cultural development are shared by the people, so as to promote the prosperity and development of socialist culture and enrich the people's spiritual and cultural life.
This is the consistent original mission -
In May 1942, the Yan'an Literary and Art Symposium was held. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "The question of why people are is a fundamental question and a question of principle. ”
In October 2014, the Symposium on Literary and Artistic Work was held in Beijing. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Socialist literature and art, in essence, is the people's literature and art. ”
The two symposiums after 72 years have shared the same theme of serving the people.
"Find the correct coordinate positioning in the center and serve the overall situation, keep in mind the social responsibility, and constantly solve the fundamental problem of 'for whom, who to rely on, and who am I'. In February 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the party's press and public opinion work symposium was cleared up.
This is the value pursuit of the supremacy of the people -
More than 3,300 public libraries and more than 10,000 cultural centers and museums have been built across the country, and all public libraries, cultural centers, art galleries, comprehensive cultural stations and more than 90% of museums are open to the public free of charge...... A series of "hardcore" data highlights the improvement of the "soft power" of mainland culture, and also highlights the people-centered value of cultural construction.
The people's nature is the essential attribute of Marxism, and the people's stand is the fundamental political stand of the Communist Party of China.
"It is necessary to take the fulfillment, safeguarding, and development of the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people as the starting point and the end goal" and "let the people's spiritual and cultural life continue to reach a new level...... General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech profoundly expounded the question of who culture is and fully demonstrated the profound feelings of the people.
This is the inevitable requirement of the development of the times——
Taking the people as the center is not only an echo of history, but also a proposition of the times.
The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) summarized five important characteristics of Chinese modernization, and "modernization in harmony between material civilization and spiritual civilization" was among them. "Enriching the people's spiritual world" has become one of the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization, and it is also the proper meaning of the pursuit of a better life in the new era.
In the new era and new journey, in the face of the people's growing spiritual and cultural needs, we must stand firmly on the people's position, take the people's interests, people's will and people's voice as the fundamental principle of cultural construction, and promote the socialist cultural cause to a new level.
"The most fundamental, critical and reliable way is to take root in the people and life"
In the severe winter, more than 100 Ulan herding teams went deep into the pastoral area to create and perform, adding warmth to the vast grassland.
"The longevity of the Ulan herdsmen shows that the people need art, and art needs the people. In November 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a letter to the members of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's Sunit Right Banner Ulan Herdsmen, encouraging them to always be the "Red Literary Light Cavalry" on the grassland.
The people are the creators and witnesses of history, and the main force for the construction of a cultural power.
"There are 100 or 1,000 methods of literary and artistic creation, but the most fundamental, crucial, and reliable method is to take root in the people and in life," and "we must deeply understand the truth that the people are the creators of history, go deep into the masses and into life, and sincerely be the people's primary school students...... General Secretary Xi Jinping has deep thinking about upholding the dominant position of the people in cultural construction.
The ideological and theoretical circles are concerned about practical issues, respond to the people's concerns, and let theoretical readings that are easy to understand and face problems directly into the masses; the news front has launched the activity of "going to the grassroots level, changing the style of work, and changing the style of writing" and collecting and writing news works that are "stained with mud," "with dewdrops," and "steaming"; cultural and literary workers have gone into the depths of practice, observed the people's lives, and put out one excellent work after another full of the spirit of the times...... Practice has proved that to promote the prosperity and development of socialist culture, only by taking root in the people and relying on the people can we obtain an inexhaustible source of power.
Deeply rooted in the people, drawing fresh water from the source for the prosperity and development of socialist culture——
Ask the canal that is as clear as it is, for there is a source of living water. The great struggle of hundreds of millions of people and the rich and colorful social life are fertile soil for the prosperity and development of socialist cultural undertakings.
Reportage such as "The Country is the Country" and "Eighteen Stories of Eighteen Cave Villages" tell the story of poverty alleviation in a real and vivid manner, while excellent film and television works such as "Mountains and Seas", "The World" and "My Motherland and Me" reflect the atmosphere of the times and praise the people's creation...... Adhering to the people-centered creative orientation, the literary and artistic garden in the new era is full of flowers and fruits.
Embarking on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, more than 1.4 billion people are carrying out new practices, interpreting new lives, and creating new miracles, providing a broad space for cultural prosperity and development. It is necessary to go deep into life, take root in the people, create more cultural products that match the new era, and realize the progress from the "plateau" to the "peak".
Closely rely on the people and fully stimulate the vitality and creativity of the people——
In 2023, more than 20,000 "Village Evening" demonstration and exhibition activities will be held, with about 130 million participants, and more than 460,000 mass literary and artistic teams are currently registered in the mainland...... Since the beginning of the new era, the people have been on the stage and playing the leading role in cultural construction.
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "The people are not only the creators of history, but also the witnesses of history, and they are both the 'people in the play' and the 'playwright' of history. ”
To promote the prosperity and development of socialist culture, we must firmly establish the viewpoint of relying on the masses of the people, respect the dominant position and initiative of the masses of the people, and open up channels, build platforms, and create conditions for the masses of the people to become the main force in the construction of socialist culture, so that the vitality and creativity of the masses can be fully displayed and burst out in competition.
"Better meet the new expectations of the people's spiritual and cultural life"
Climb the Xunyang Tower to enjoy the vast Yangtze River, walk into the Pipa Pavilion to experience the immersive theater of "Pipa Xing", and take a leisurely walk along the riverside greenway...... Since its opening, the Jiujiangcheng section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park has become a good place for citizens to relax and tourists to check in.
The construction of a national cultural park is a major cultural project to promote the prosperity and development of culture, and a vivid footnote to better meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the people.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the new expectations of the people to improve the quality of life and move towards common prosperity have put forward new and higher requirements for cultural construction. It is necessary to take the realization of the people's yearning for a better life as the starting point and end point of the construction of a cultural power, and closely focus on the goal of allowing the people to enjoy a more substantial, richer, and higher-quality spiritual and cultural life, and deeply promote the prosperity and development of socialist culture.
Firmly grasp the fundamental requirement of high-quality development, and expand the supply of high-quality cultural products and services——
With the rise of "research fever", it is difficult to find a ticket for cultural and museum venues, and cultural tourism represented by "Zibo Barbecue" and "Erbin" is "out of the circle...... The new phenomenon of cultural consumption reflects the increasingly diverse and individualized spiritual and cultural needs of the people.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction in cultural supply has shifted from "whether it is available" to "whether it is good or not". It is necessary to take high-quality development as the main line, improve the planning and policies of the cultural industry, cultivate new cultural formats and cultural consumption patterns, expand the supply of high-quality cultural products and services, and let the people enjoy a more substantial, richer and higher-quality spiritual and cultural life.
Closely rely on the fundamental driving force of deepening reform, so that the fruits of cultural development can benefit all people more and more fairly.
Hunan's "Ten Elementary Schools in Front of the Door", Beijing's "27 Courtyards", and Chengdu's "Lamp Study" ...... Deepening the reform of the system and mechanism, introducing social forces to build and share, the new public cultural space is becoming a "cultural living room" around the people, and there are currently more than 33,500 in the country.
Reform is the driving force for the prosperity of literature and art and the development of culture. It is necessary to firmly grasp the solution to the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development in the cultural field, deepen the reform of the cultural system, put social benefits in the first place, promote the standardization and equalization of public cultural services, and promote the integrated construction of urban and rural public cultural service systems, so that the fruits of cultural development can benefit all people more and more fairly.
Closely rely on the magic weapon of integrity and innovation, and constantly stimulate the vitality of cultural innovation and creativity——
The cultural relics collected in museums and the words written in ancient books have been "lived", and "cultural and creative style" and "poetry fever" have quietly risen...... New technologies, new methods and new ideas make traditional culture vigorous and nourish people's beautiful new life.
Only by keeping integrity can we not lose ourselves and not lose our direction, and only by innovating can we grasp the times and lead the times. In October 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out during his inspection and research in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province: "We must continue to hold the excellent traditional culture passed down from our ancestors, keep pace with the times, and let it flourish." ”
In the new era and new journey, the construction of a cultural power is facing a new situation and new tasks, we must keep the righteousness and vigor of innovation, innovate ideas and methods, innovate the discourse system, innovate technical means, and innovate systems and mechanisms, and constantly explore and answer the new topics raised by the development of the times and the needs of the people on cultural construction.
