Xi Jinping: We have always insisted on safeguarding and improving people's livelihood in the process of development, and comprehensively promoting the provision of education for the young, education for learning, income for work, medical care for the sick, support for the elderly, housing for housing, and support for the weak, and continuously Improve people's lives and enhance people's well-being.

　　This sentence comes from a speech delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping at the celebration of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up on December 18, 2018.

　　"Serving the people" is the fundamental purpose of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese form of the Marxist view on human liberation, and the inevitable requirement of Marxist party ethics.

The Communist Manifesto once pointed out that the movement of the proletariat is an independent movement for the vast majority of people and for the benefit of the vast majority of people.

Since its establishment, the Communist Party of China has taken the pursuit of happiness for the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its original aspiration and mission.

　　The interests of the people must be realized in development.

"The well-off is not well-off, the key is to look at the fellow villagers", the people's living standards, especially the living standards of the people in the backward areas, are an important indicator to measure the well-off level.

Since the reform and opening up, the annual per capita disposable income of residents across the country has increased from 171 yuan to 35,000 yuan; in 2021, my country has achieved a great victory in the battle against poverty. Under the current standard, all 98.99 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, and all 832 poverty-stricken counties have taken off their hats. , all 128,000 impoverished villages were listed, writing a glorious chapter in the history of human anti-poverty.

Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, my country's economy has undergone tremendous changes, and China has achieved a historic leap from poverty and backwardness to an all-round well-off.

The Chinese people truly enjoy the benefits of nurturing the young, educating them in learning, getting paid for work, getting medical care for the sick, supporting the elderly, living in housing, and helping the weak.

　　Upholding and strengthening the party's leadership is the fundamental guarantee for improving people's well-being.

In a developing country like China with a large population and large regional differences, it is difficult to cope with major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major obstacles and resolve major conflicts without the leadership of a centralized and unified party.

Therefore, in the process of enhancing the well-being of the people and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must give full play to the party's core leadership role in overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties. Another success in the new journey of the century-old goal!
