　　On the centenary of the Communist Party of China, a news that the central government supports Zhejiang's high-quality development and construction of a common prosperity demonstration zone has attracted widespread attention.

This is a major decision made by the Chinese policymakers to promote the common prosperity of all people. It is also regarded by observers as another creative move in the CCP's century-old exploration of "common prosperity".

　　Common prosperity has been a basic ideal of the Chinese since ancient times, and the notion of "not worrying about inequality but not worrisome" has long existed.

A hundred years ago, a small red boat sailed by on the South Lake in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and the slight ripples gradually turned into surging waves, which changed China in an overwhelming manner.

　　"We promote economic and social development, in the final analysis, is to achieve common prosperity for all people." An unremitting exploration that followed gave this ideal that had been suspended in the air for thousands of years to have a place to live and take root.

"To build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, one cannot be left behind; on the road to common prosperity, no one can be left behind." Based on the logic of "being good at beginning and ending, doing good at good accomplishment", the CCP has faced the test of history with a posture of "nothing will come out without hindrance".

　　This century-old exploration of "shared prosperity" has gone through several generations of struggle and witnessed the persistence of the original aspiration.

　　During the period of the New Democratic Revolution, the Chinese Communist Party has always been committed to the development of the socialist market economy and the development of the socialist market economy since the reform and opening up to the development of the socialist market economy. More results will benefit all people more equitably.

After several generations of exploration and practice, China's social and economic development has made considerable progress, and it has become the world's second largest economy, with a per capita GDP exceeding US$10,000, and the people's living standards have continued to improve.

　　In the new era, the connotation of "common prosperity" has been further deepened and expanded, and the path has become clearer and broader.

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made it clear that the long-term goal of socialist modernization will be basically achieved by 2035, and for the first time it put forward that “all the people’s common prosperity will achieve more obvious substantive progress”.

"The way to govern the country starts with enriching the people." In the past century, the world has changed, and the ruling party in China has responded to the expectations of the people by sticking to its original aspirations.

　　This century-old exploration of "shared prosperity" has overcome historical problems and witnessed the commitment to the mission.

　　Eliminating poverty is the most basic requirement for shared development and a prerequisite for achieving common prosperity.

The work of poverty alleviation is regarded as a historical mission by the CCP, and it occupies a prominent position in the governance of the country.

　　After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, every time China’s economic and social development took a step forward, the poverty alleviation standards were raised once, and poverty alleviation work was pushed one step further, maintaining the simultaneous advancement of economic development and poverty reduction.

Since the reform and opening up, according to the current poverty standards, 770 million rural poor people in China have been lifted out of poverty. The problem of absolute poverty has been solved historically, laying a solid foundation for achieving the goal of common prosperity.

　　Looking at the past and present, and looking around the world, no country can lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty in such a short period of time.

Based on many original and unique measures, the CCP has led the people to organize the largest and most powerful fight against poverty in human history. It has driven away the poverty nightmare that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and is also a showcase for solving this global problem. More possibilities.

Without a strong sense of historical mission and the courage to act, these achievements are hard to imagine.

　　This century-old exploration of "shared prosperity" will continue until we witness the ideals shine into reality.

　　Promoting the common prosperity of all people is a long-term task and also a realistic task. It requires a down-to-earth and long-term effort.

At present, some prominent problems of China's unbalanced development have not been resolved, there are still many shortcomings in the field of people's livelihood, and the gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution is still large.

The basic national conditions that China is and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time determine the arduousness and complexity of realizing this ideal.

　　Vigorously improve the quality and efficiency of development, better meet the growing needs of the people in economic, political, cultural, social, ecological and other aspects, and better promote the all-round development of people and the all-round progress of society....

.

In the next five years and beyond, a goal related to Chinese people's sense of gain, happiness, and security has been anchored.

There will be more solid footprints on the road to common prosperity.

　　Looking back on the road, people find that the CCP has always stood firm on the people’s stand, regardless of good times or bad times, emphasizing that eradicating poverty, improving people’s livelihood, and achieving common prosperity are the essential requirements of socialism.

At the beginning, the mind was not changed due to the change of time and space. When the mission was not forgotten due to the ups and downs of the wind and rain, looking ahead, people believed that: a century of exploration will not stop, and the ideal will eventually blossom and bear fruit.
