  "In the past five years, my income has doubled from four-digit to five-digit." Ms. Zhang, who works in Beijing, told a reporter from Chinanews.com that in 2015, my monthly income was 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, and now it has exceeded 10,000 yuan. Yuan mark is over.

  Speaking of life changes, Ms. Zhang, a post-80s generation, said with emotion: "Income is rising steadily, but the level of consumption has also risen visible to the naked eye. These years, on average, two or three trips a year.

  "In the past five years, I gave birth to a child, planned a job for my daughter-in-law, and bought a house last year." Mr. Wang, who works in a communications company in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, told a reporter from Chinanews.com that he also opened a Taobao in 2015 and 2016. The store sells towels and earns about 10,000 yuan a month. Later, I started research subsidy projects and took a few dollars, which averaged 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per year.

  Liu Aihua, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a press conference in July this year that after hard work, most of the quantitative indicators proposed in the "13th Five-Year Plan" can be over-fulfilled or fully completed. Some indicators such as GDP, urban and rural areas The goal of doubling the per capita income of residents is now close to being reached.

  The latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs show that farmers’ income has been doubled ahead of schedule.

More convenient travel

  "The changes in travel in the past five years are indeed very big. High-speed rail has become more and faster, online car-hailing has risen, taxi-hailing is not so difficult, and shared bicycles can be used anytime and anywhere to solve the'last mile' problem." Ms. Zhang sigh.

  In the past 5 years, the composition of high-speed rail trains has become the first choice for mass travel.

Statistics show that by the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the high-speed rail operating mileage is about 38,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world, covering 95% of cities with a population of 1 million and above.

  At the same time, the Chinese standard EMU of Fuxing has achieved commercial operation at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and the intelligent EMU has achieved automatic driving at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour for the first time in the world.

"Fuxing is running on the vast land of the motherland." The speeding high-speed rail makes the way home for Chinese people become "short", and the tossing "jaunty road" becomes a comfortable "smooth road".

  In the past five years, new businesses such as online ride-hailing and shared bicycles have flourished.

The latest data from the Ministry of Transport shows that more than 190 online car-hailing platform companies have obtained operating licenses, and the daily order volume for online car-hailing is approximately more than 21 million.

Shared bicycles were put into operation in more than 360 cities across the country, with 19.45 million vehicles invested, and the average daily order for shared bicycles exceeded 45.7 million.

  "In the past, taxis were waiting for people, but now they are waiting for people. Gone are the days of standing on the side of the road and beckoning to stop the taxi. Now you call for a taxi in the house with your mobile phone, and wait until the taxi arrives. "Ms. Zhang said.

  Huang Boxue, who is engaged in scientific research in Beijing, rides a shared bicycle at least twice a day, from his home to the subway station in the morning and from his work to the subway station in the evening.

"It is two or three kilometers from the unit to the subway, 20 minutes to walk, and 10 minutes to ride by bicycle. Shared bicycles solve the problem of the'last mile'. It not only saves time, improves the mood, but also exercises and is environmentally friendly. A little contribution."

Shopping even better

  In the past five years, the development of online shopping has accelerated, and the buying experience has continued to improve.

  The data shows that in 2019, the national per capita express parcel volume is 45, and this year is expected to reach nearly 60, which is about twice the global average.

The annual express business volume has increased from 20.7 billion pieces in 2015 to more than 80 billion pieces this year, quadrupling in five years.

China's parcel delivery volume exceeds that of developed economies such as the United States, Japan, and Europe combined.

  From the perspective of payment methods, nowadays Chinese people can pay with their mobile phones anytime and anywhere. "You sweep me or I sweep you" has become the mantra. At the same time, facial payment is becoming more and more popular, which can save the trouble of bringing cash and let people enjoy the cashless life. Poop.

  "It used to be a wallet with bank cards, cash, and coins stuffed in it, but now it's all done with a mobile phone. You don't even need to open the mobile phone, you can just swipe your face to pay, which is more worry-free and convenient." Ms. Zhang said.

  In addition, the digital renminbi is ready to come out.

A few days ago, Shenzhen issued 10 million digital RMB red envelopes on a trial basis, each with an amount of 200 yuan.

"No QR code is generated when there is no internet, but you can use your mobile phone to touch the NFC to pay directly, which is very convenient." A winner of a digital RMB red envelope in Shenzhen told a reporter from Chinanews.com that he used one-touch payment. More convenient than other payment methods.

Internet faster

  "In terms of Internet access, the past 5 years have been the stage of large-scale popularization of 4G. Now 5G is also commercially available, and the Internet speed is faster. The tariff is definitely cheaper relative to the traffic value, but the absolute monthly consumption per person should be Rose." Mr. Wang said.

  According to the latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the household penetration rate of fixed broadband and the penetration rate of mobile broadband users reached 91% and 96% respectively at the end of 2019.

Gigabit fiber covers more than 80 million households, and 4G users exceed 1.2 billion.

At present, a total of 690,000 5G base stations have been opened, and the number of connected users has exceeded 160 million.

  Internet speed has indeed become faster.

According to the data recently monitored by the Broadband Development Alliance, the end-to-end average download rate of China's fixed broadband and 4G users has increased by more than 7 times compared with 2015. The fixed network is now 43M, and the mobile network (4G) is end-to-end. The rate is 29M.

  The average tariff has also become less.

The cancellation of domestic long-distance roaming charges for mobile phones, data roaming charges, "traffic not cleared for the month", "speed increase without price increase" and other speed-up and fee-reduction measures have enabled users to truly feel the benefits of fee reduction.

  "In the past five years, the average tariff for fixed broadband and mobile phone traffic has dropped by more than 95%. It is now a small part of the unit price." said Wen Ku, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Information and Communication Development Department. In the past, everyone took their mobile phones and went to a place to look up and scan to see if there were free wireless LANs around.

The price is now cheaper, so there is no need to look for WiFi everywhere.

  The reduction in tariffs promotes the popularization of the network and the promotion of applications.

User traffic, especially monthly consumption traffic, is now 10.86G on average, which is 38 times higher than the average monthly traffic used by a user in 2015.

At that time, the mobile phone traffic used by users every month was 287.9M, and two episodes of the series were used up.

Blue sky more

  "I feel that the air quality has improved a lot over the years, and the blue sky and white clouds have increased." This is the common feeling of Ms. Zhang in Beijing and Mr. Wang in Shijiazhuang.

  They all mentioned one thing: "As the haze weather decreases, the air purifier at home is basically not used, and the windows can be opened at any time."

  The data also confirmed their common feelings.

According to data recently released by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the proportion of air quality in cities at prefecture-level and above in the country was 87.2% of the number of days with good air quality from January to September this year. It is expected that the binding target of 84.5% will be achieved by the end of this year.

  In recent years, the annual average concentration of four major pollutants in Beijing has dropped significantly. In 2019, the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the city entered "40+", at 42 micrograms/m3, which was lower than that at the end of the "12th Five-Year Plan" period in 2015. 48%.

The number of days of heavy pollution has decreased significantly, from 46 days in 2015 to 4 days in 2019, a decrease of 42 days.

From January to August 2020, the PM2.5 concentration was 41 micrograms/m3, a year-on-year decrease of 2.4%.

  Today, the "13th Five-Year Plan" is coming to an end and the "14th Five-Year Plan" will begin soon.

In the next five years, ordinary people hope that their income will be even higher, that they do not have to worry about education, medical treatment and elderly care, and have a stronger sense of gain, happiness and security.
