During the two sessions ｜ This livelihood answer sheet has both temperature and thickness.
Cctv news(Evening News): It’s two sessions a year again. In 2024, the National People’s Congress will be held soon. Looking back on the past year, have the proposals and proposals of the deputies been effective? How has the development goal put forward in the government work report been achieved? What kind of answers have been handed over from the central government to the local government in various fields such as development and people’s livelihood? "Evening News" launched a series of reports "One Year of the Two Sessions". Let’s first look at the quality of people’s livelihood papers.
People’s livelihood is no small matter, and branches and leaves are always related to love. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the upbringing and education of children, the employment of young people and the medical care for the elderly are family matters as well as state affairs. The expectation of the people is the direction of people’s livelihood work. Looking back at the National People’s Congress in 2023, the Government Work Report made a commitment to the development of people’s livelihood. What changes have taken place around us during this year? Let’s pay attention together.
Education: There are more and more good schools at home.
This week, primary and secondary schools in many places across the country ushered in the new semester in the spring of 2024. The Taiping New Town School in Anning, Yunnan Province, which was just completed last year, has solved the problem of difficult schooling for the children of surrounding residential areas and migrant workers. Nowadays, children can enjoy high-quality teaching resources at their doorstep.
From small bungalows to tall buildings, from "small yards" to "big schools", the conditions for running schools in rural areas are getting better and better, and the gap between urban and rural education is also being bridged step by step. This is the development goal of "promoting the balanced development of compulsory education and urban-rural integration" put forward in the "Government Work Report" at the two sessions last year. In the past year, there have been more and more good schools at the doorstep of ordinary people. According to preliminary statistics, at present, 1,736 high-quality schools and more than 50,000 "special post plan" teachers have been added in various places, which has further strengthened the teaching staff of rural schools in the central and western regions.
Culture: The opening hours of venues are longer, and the public culture is richer.
There are more and more good schools at home, and public cultural life is more colorful. In the past year, reading a good book in the city study, watching a special exhibition in the rural museum, or having a sweaty game with three or five friends in the gym at home have become the daily life of more and more people. This has gradually fulfilled the promise of prosperity and development of cultural undertakings and industries put forward at the two national conferences in 2023. On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, the open area of the three major cultural buildings in the Beijing City Sub-center reached nearly 90%. Among them, the city library has a collection capacity of 8 million volumes, which will build the world’s largest single reading room and the largest intelligent three-dimensional stacks in China. In this year, it has become the new normal that cultural venues around the country are "brightly lit and crowded" at night. At present, there are 33,500 new public cultural spaces such as urban study rooms, cultural post stations and cultural auditoriums, and people can enjoy high-quality cultural and artistic services at their doorsteps.
Medical treatment: "seeing a disease" and "seeing a good disease" at home.
At the doorstep of ordinary people, there is another obvious change, that is, there are more and more good hospitals. In 2023, the National People’s Congress proposed to promote the expansion and sinking of high-quality medical resources and the balanced regional layout. With the accelerated construction of national regional medical centers, urban medical groups and county medical communities, a large number of top experts and leading technologies in China have sunk to areas with relatively weak medical standards. Up to now, China has set up 13 specialized national medical centers and identified 125 national regional medical center construction projects, covering all provinces with weak medical resources, and the goal of "staying out of the province when seriously ill" is gradually being realized.
Medical care: medical insurance is more convenient when drug prices have dropped.
It is convenient to see a doctor, and it is easy to reimburse medical insurance. In 2023, the National People’s Congress proposed to deepen the reform of the medical and health system and promote the coordinated development and governance of medical insurance, medical care and medicine. In one year, all employees’ medical insurance and residents’ medical insurance participants can realize the online filing of medical treatment across provinces and different places, and the new version of the medical insurance drug list will also be officially implemented this year. It is expected that the burden will be reduced by more than 40 billion yuan for patients in the next two years. Among them, the price change of dental implants has always been concerned by the people. After a series of comprehensive price control, the overall cost of a single conventional dental implant has been reduced from an average of 15,000 yuan to about 6,000-7,000 yuan.
Old-age care: better service, more assured home-based care
With the "medical care" to see a doctor, the problem of providing for the aged is even more touching. Over the past year, from the central government to the local government, a number of policies to actively respond to the aging of the population, such as the construction of basic old-age service system, food service for the elderly, and aging transformation, have been introduced. The Law on the Construction of Barrier-free Environment has been implemented. More than 700,000 families of elderly people with special difficulties in China have undergone aging transformation, making it more convenient and safe for the elderly to provide for the elderly at home.
Wu Lantian, an 88-year-old man from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, enjoyed an aging renovation plan tailored for him by the community. He installed guardrails and emergency pagers at the bedside and such long handrails in his bedroom.
In this year, the Central Office and the State Council issued the Opinions on Promoting the Construction of the Basic Old-age Service System, proposing that by 2025, the basic old-age service system will cover all the elderly, which provides institutional guarantee for all the elderly to achieve "a sense of security".
This year, the country adhered to the people first, and made great efforts to protect and improve people’s livelihood. These daily lives, which we are most concerned about, the most direct and the most realistic, bear everyone’s yearning for a better life. We are delighted to see that these goals and commitments are being implemented step by step, bringing stable happiness to the people.
