Chinese-style modernization, people's livelihood is the most important - steadily improve the level of people's livelihood security in the process of development

　　The essence of modernization is the modernization of people, and Chinese-style modernization is the cause of hundreds of millions of people themselves. The Communist Party of China is for the people, and the people's yearning for a better life is the goal of our party.

　　"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 philosophy, and steadily improve the level of people's livelihood security in the process of development";

　　"Let the fruits of modernization benefit all the people more and more fairly";

　　…………

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping is full of deep feelings for the people, always adheres to the supremacy of the people, and anchors the right 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 the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese-style modernization. No matter whether the road ahead is turbulent or turbulent, we will have the most solid support, the strongest confidence and the deepest strength to strengthen our confidence in victory, insist on taking letting the people live a good life as the starting point and end point of all our work, and improve people's livelihood and well-being in high-quality development.

　　(a)

　　For the sake of the modernization of the people, it makes sense. Only by relying on the modernization of the people can we have motivation.

　　Since the beginning of the new era, the reason why we have been able to write a new chapter in the two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability has provided a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more active spiritual force for Chinese-style modernization.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Improving people's livelihood and well-being is the fundamental purpose of development. "From winning the largest battle against poverty in human history and realizing the millennium dream of the Chinese nation of being moderately prosperous, to building the world's largest high-speed railway network and highway network, to building the world's largest education system, social security system, and medical and health system...... The magnificent development picture is also a magnificent answer sheet for people's livelihood.

　　To do a good job in economic and social development, people's livelihood is the "compass" and becomes the most important ruler.

　　In the "national ledger", there are people's livelihood needs. More than 70% of the country's fiscal expenditure is spent on people's livelihood. In 2024, the central government will allocate 66.7 billion yuan in employment subsidies, 408.5 billion yuan in the transfer of common fiscal powers in the field of education, and 76.5 billion yuan in subsidies for basic public health services......

　　In the "development plan", there is the importance of people's livelihood. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the development of new quality productive forces is not to ignore and abandon traditional industries". Traditional industries are related to employment and people's livelihood, and "you can't throw away the guy who eats in your hand first", which reflects people's livelihood considerations.

　　On the "safety base", there are important things for people's livelihood. The mainland is the world's largest energy consumer, and the energy job must be firmly in its own hands. It is estimated that by 2030, the number of electric vehicles in the country is expected to reach 80 million, which can save more than 120 million tons of oil per year, which is three times the current annual oil and gas production of Daqing Oilfield. When it comes to the development of the energy industry, General Secretary Xi Jinping compared "wowotou" and "fine noodles": "Eat a full stomach first and then eat well." We need to seek truth from facts, neither slow down the pace of green and low-carbon development, nor be too idealistic, and first ensure energy supply. ”

　　"Modernization should not only look at the indicators on paper, but also look at the happiness and well-being of the people." To test the effectiveness of promoting high-quality development, it is very important to see whether the quality of people's lives has been improved.

　　Work in different places, treatment in the same city.

　　For the 237 million "Yangtze River Delta residents", the most intuitive feeling is the "same city" and "quality" of life: the people's livelihood "one card", certificates, buses, scenic spots, basic public services are more convenient; "One network" for medical treatment, "medical circle" to accelerate the integration, and direct settlement of outpatient expenses for remote medical treatment to accelerate the advancement; "Integration" of elderly care, comprehensively carry out pilot cooperation on regional elderly care integration, and establish the country's first cross-provincial and county-level happy elderly care demonstration benchmark area......

　　Development is moving forward, and people's livelihood is warm.

　　The morning glow of Chengdu International Railway Port in Sichuan, the beautiful painting of Jishui Migrant New Village in Jiangxi, and the blue sky and white clouds of Shandan Racecourse in Gansu...... Many people "bask in my 'hometown blue'", freeze the next daily and beautiful moments. From 2013 to 2022, the average concentration of PM2.5 in key cities fell by 57% and the number of heavily polluted days decreased by 93% while the total economic output doubled. Carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, people truly realize that "the environment is the people's livelihood, the green mountains are beautiful, and the blue sky is also happiness".

　　Continuously transforming the fruits of development into quality of life embodies the concept of "joint participation, joint construction and common enjoyment by all people" of Chinese modernization.

　　We must deeply understand that the people's yearning for a better life has shifted from "whether it is good" to "whether it is good or not", firmly grasp the problems of the people's urgency, hardship and longing, and take more measures to benefit the people's livelihood and warm the hearts of the people, so as to promote the common prosperity of all the people and make more obvious and substantive progress.

　　Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, Democracy Village Community, Xiejiawan Street. It used to be a well-known "old and dilapidated place", with poor houses, old pipe networks, a lot of sewage, and a lack of supporting facilities. Nowadays, there are bluestone slabs, red brick houses, and yellow cypress trees, and there are bright community living rooms, fully functional party and mass service centers, and community canteens with fragrant meals.

　　On April 22 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Chongqing, walked into the community and chatted with everyone with a smile. The general secretary pointed out that "one thing that the Party Central Committee is very concerned about is to renovate the old communities. Replace the old with the new, and improve the service facilities. It is hoped that party committees and governments at all levels will invest more financial and material resources in solving people's livelihood problems and do some practical things for people's livelihood every year."

　　Seek more benefits for people's livelihood, solve people's livelihood worries, and deal with the "temperature difference" between macro data and micro feelings, so that the people's sense of gain, happiness and security will be more substantial, more secure and more sustainable.

　　This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Over the past 75 years, the mainland has always adhered to the principle of doing everything for the people and relying on the hard work of all the people, and the mainland has developed from a poor economy to the world's second largest economy, creating a miracle in the history of human development. On the new journey of promoting Chinese-style modernization, we are fully confident that we have the ability to create new and greater miracles that will impress the people of the world, with the people's livelihood as the most important thing and the people's hearts as the heart.

　　High-quality development is the last word in the new era. In the final analysis, promoting Chinese-style modernization and achieving common prosperity for all people depends on high-quality development.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Coordinated regional development is an inevitable requirement for achieving common prosperity. After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary presided over symposiums one after another around the theme of regional coordinated development. From the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region 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 systematic and targeted solution to the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development has been continuously enhanced.

　　People's livelihood is linked to development, and grasping people's livelihood is also grasping development. Actively cultivate new consumption growth points such as smart homes, cultural and entertainment tourism, sports events, and domestic "trendy products", strengthen the construction of barrier-free environment and facilities for the elderly, and promote the development of waste recycling industry...... In this year's "Government Work Report", the list of people's livelihood is also a list of development.

　　Shanghai, on the banks of the Huangpu River. There used to be high-rise buildings on one side, simple houses on the other side, dormer windows, pavilions, "carrying the toilet to see the Oriental Pearl", reflecting the embarrassment and helplessness of some people in the old city.

　　"The people's city is built by the people, and the people's city is for the people." In July 2022, Huangpu District conquered the last "hard bone" - the old reform and expropriation plan for the 68th and 67th neighborhoods of Jianguo East Road came into effect. This marks the completion of the renovation of the second-class old houses in the central city of Shanghai that has lasted for many years.

　　The implementation of urban renewal action is an important decision made by the CPC Central Committee, which is not only a people's livelihood project, but also a development project. According to the data, the mainland'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. Cities have become an important field for expanding domestic demand to make up for shortcomings, stabilizing investment and promoting consumption, and building a strong domestic market.

　　In March this year, four major actions were deployed: equipment renewal, consumer goods trade-in, recycling and recycling, and standard improvement. The upgrading of automobiles and home appliances alone will create a market space of one trillion yuan.

　　Ensuring and improving people's livelihood and better meeting the diversified and high-quality consumption needs of the people can better release the potential of domestic market demand and inject strong impetus into economic development, transformation and upgrading.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "If people's livelihood is stable, people's hearts will be stable, and society will be stable." "Protecting and improving people's livelihood and weaving a solid social security net can effectively boost development confidence and enhance social consumption expectations.

　　Employment is the greatest livelihood of the people, and stable employment means stabilizing people's livelihood and development. In the first quarter of this year, the employment situation in the mainland was generally stable, with a total of 3.03 million new jobs created in urban areas, and the number of migrant workers lifted out of poverty remained stable at more than 30 million. A virtuous circle of economic growth and employment expansion can be formed by implementing the employment-first strategy, strengthening the employment-first policy, enhancing the vitality of micro-entities, and cultivating new and powerful employment momentum.

　　By the end of 2023, the number of people enrolled in basic medical insurance in mainland China will reach 1.334 billion, nearly 80 million low-income people will enjoy insurance subsidies, and the total number of drugs in the new version of the national medical insurance drug list will increase to 3,088. One of the world's largest medical security networks protects the health of ordinary people.

　　"We are in this together, through thick and thin, and we have become lifelong companions." In March this year, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Xicheng District, Beijing, for the first time, the visually impaired in mainland China went through the marriage registration procedures without barriers by reading the Braille version and large-print version of the marriage registration notice and marriage vows.

　　Intelligent voice prompts, handrails, and Braille signs have been added to protect the rights and interests of persons with disabilities in receiving education and improve the quality of employment for persons with disabilities...... This vividly confirms from one side: no one can be left behind in Chinese-style modernization.

　　Protecting and improving people's livelihood can win advantages, initiatives, and the future for development.

　　Hefei, Anhui Province, Xicheng Village, Lujiang County. Tao Youbao, a villager, calls his household photovoltaic equipment a "sunshine bank": "If you install photovoltaic on the roof, in addition to your own household, the excess electricity can also be sold to the power grid, and you can earn thousands of yuan a year, basking in the sun and making money." ”

　　As of 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 about 27.3 billion square meters of photovoltaic rooftops can be installed in rural areas of the mainland, with more than 80 million households. Household PV will not only help the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, but also strongly promote the green transformation and development of energy.

　　The raising and education of children and the medical care for the elderly are "both family and national affairs".

　　A childcare center in Tongren, Guizhou Province, has set up a care team focusing on medical treatment, childcare, childcare and nursing to enrich the content of infant and toddler activities in the kindergarten, so that children can grow up healthily and parents can rest assured.

　　In addition to electrocardiogram, blood sampling and other examinations, a nursing institution in Beijing also provides a variety of age-appropriate and refined services. The smart mattress not only has the function of leaving the bed, but also monitors heart rate, breathing and sleep quality, and provides early warning of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through data analysis.

　　Strengthening the "one old and one young" service will benefit thousands of households and will further release the development potential. At present, the scale of the mainland'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 is the concept of people's livelihood, as well as the concept of development and modernization.

　　(c)

　　Development and people's livelihood are mutually related and mutually conditional, and dialectically unified. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Strengthen the material foundation for safeguarding and improving people's livelihood through sustainable development, and create more effective demand through continuous protection and improvement of people's livelihood." "Comprehensively grasping the dialectical relationship between development and people's livelihood, and effectively protecting and improving people's livelihood, is of great significance for consolidating and enhancing the upward trend of economic recovery and promoting Chinese-style modernization with high-quality development.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must make a choice, what do we want? Starting from the satisfaction of the people, whether they agree or not, the ecological environment is very important; From the perspective of improving people's livelihood, this is also the most important. "Giving and giving not only reflects feelings and patterns, but also highlights wisdom and methods.

　　At one time, "the Yangtze River was sick", the chemical industry surrounded the river, illegal sand mining, and ecological degradation...... Everywhere is full of holes. Now, the "smiling elf" finless porpoise has returned, and the "Linjiang Rust Belt" has become a "Riverside Green Belt", and the beautiful scenery of "clear water and green shores, fish leaping and birds flying" has reappeared.

　　"We should jointly grasp large-scale protection and not engage in large-scale development" and "take the road of ecological priority and green development".

　　"Closing and removing" related enterprises, forcing the industry to "change cages for birds" transformation and upgrading; Multiple measures were taken to promote job transfer and reemployment, and "fishermen" became "fish protectors...... The transformation of old and new kinetic energy has been accelerated, and the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have undergone "comprehensive green transformation". One take-and-take-off conforms to the general trend of green development, and shapes new momentum and new advantages for development.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "we must not only pay close attention to the present, but also focus on the long-term". Based on the current and focusing on the long-term, it is an important methodology for entrepreneurship.

　　The "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project is very strategic, leading and innovative. Guizhou is deeply involved in the super project of "Eastern Data and Western Computing", opening up the "digital" arteries and "computing" to create new opportunities, and entering the fast lane of digital economy development.

　　Back in 2014, Guizhou, located in the southwest corner, is still one of the main battlefields of poverty alleviation in the country, with a large number of poor people, a weak industrial base, and a shortage of scientific and technological talents.

　　"We must not only do practical things that can be seen, touched, and benefited by the people, but also do good things that pave the way for future generations, lay a foundation, and benefit the long-term." Based on the present, solve specific problems step by step, and accumulate small victories for big victories; Looking at the long term, calculating the big account, the long-term account, the overall account, and the comprehensive account, the development will be more dynamic and potential.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "while promoting high-quality development and making the 'cake' bigger, we should further divide the 'cake'". This requires us to adhere to the unity of efficiency and fairness, do our best and do what we can, and do what can be done under realistic conditions, so that the masses can get tangible benefits.

　　To do our best, we must persist in working for a long time, make up for the shortcomings of people's livelihood, firmly adhere to the bottom line of people's livelihood, and do the work of benefiting people's livelihood, warming people's hearts, and conforming to the people's will.

　　To do what we can, we must persist in gradual and orderly progress, coordinate needs and possibilities, and build the protection and improvement of people's livelihood on the basis of economic development and sustainable financial resources.

　　Promoting common prosperity for all people is a long-term task, and it is necessary to select some regions to take the lead and set an example.

　　Zhejiang has achieved remarkable results in exploring and solving the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development, and has the foundation and advantages to carry out the construction of a common prosperity demonstration zone, but there are also some shortcomings and weaknesses. In May 2021, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Supporting Zhejiang's High-quality Development and Construction of a Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone", which made Zhejiang a pioneer in realizing common prosperity in the country.

　　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 a concept of political achievements that benefit the people, and "be a firm doer and doer in Chinese-style modernization".

　　"To the vast and the subtle" is the way to get things done. When expounding on the important role of the Northeast region in ensuring food security on the mainland, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "It is equally glorious and important to continue to be China's Beikang and the Yangtze River Delta region as the center of China's cutting-edge science and technology." This profoundly enlightens us that we should not only plan a domain from the overall situation and find out the strategic positioning in the overall situation of the country, but also serve the overall situation with a domain, strengthen precise thinking, find out our own characteristics and advantages, and form a strong driving force and synergy to promote Chinese-style modernization.

　　The people's livelihood is tied to the people's will, and the people's will is the biggest politics. Adhering to the value concept of putting the people first, highlighting the people's nature in the direction of modernization, stepping up work when we see it right, bringing together the enthusiasm of all quarters, and realizing a virtuous circle of economic development and improving people's livelihood, we will surely gather a magnificent force 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.
