For ordinary people, what kind of life is considered a happy life? From "eat your stomach full" to "eat 'clean pellets'", to "eat fine grains if you want to eat fine grains, and you can also eat meat frequently." The older generation who lived a hard life once thought the goal was unattainable has long been achieved.
is not just a matter of eating. With the development of technology and economy, the beautiful imagination of "upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones" in the past has long become a reality surrounded by smartphones and smart homes. Whether it is the old "four major items" of bicycles, watches, sewing machines, radios, or the new "four major items" of color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and recorders, it has become history. Even the "14 major items" and "40 major items" cannot fully describe our colorful lives.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has led all people to complete the historical task of poverty alleviation and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and achieving the first centenary goal is one of the three major things we have accomplished in the new era in the past ten years. A well-off society is connected to the "big dream" of the Chinese nation on one end and to the "little days" of every family and everyone on the other. The thousand-year dream has shone into reality, and the sunshine of rapid development and improvement of people's livelihood has also shined into everyone's happy life.
"Best education, more stable jobs, more satisfactory income, more reliable social security, higher level of medical and health services, more comfortable living conditions, and a better environment, children can grow better, work better, and live better." Ten years ago, Xi Jinping, who was just elected General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, met with Chinese and foreign journalists. He used ten words to describe the people's expectations for a better life, which has been basically realized. Seeing changes and gaining benefits, people's livelihood and welfare continue to improve, and people's lives are getting better.
Open the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, from providing education that satisfies the people to strengthening employment support for disadvantaged groups, from improving the social security system to promoting the construction of a healthy China, make detailed arrangements from various fields, continuously improve people's livelihood and improve people's quality of life. You should know that in the Party’s central task, whether it is to fully build a socialist modern power, achieve the second centenary goal, or comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, it is ultimately a continuous realization of the people’s yearning for a better life. Reality has repeatedly proved that the people first is the most distinctive value concept of our party in governing the country and the fundamental starting point for us to do all our work well.
Earth-shaking changes reflect the past efforts and inspire future struggles. Faced with the main contradictions in our society in the new era and the people’s diverse, personalized and constantly upgraded needs for a better life, we must not only solve the problems of development, but also solve the problems of distribution. Only by targeting the needs and vision of the people and anchoring the people's sense of gain, happiness and security can we better promote the all-round development of people and the comprehensive progress of society.
"Better days are still coming!" The great achievements of the new era are made, worked hard and struggled by the Party and the people. Let us bring new expectations and new wishes for a happy life together and gather into the tremendous power to create a better future and create new and greater miracles.
