'Greater effort', lifting stable happiness
2026-03-06
On the morning of March 5th, the government work report clearly stated in deploying this year's work tasks that we must adhere to the principle of putting people's livelihood first, strengthen the construction of inclusive, basic, and bottom-up people's livelihoods, and strive to do more practical things for the people. The expectations of the people and the direction of the government. Livelihood is not an abstract concept, let alone a slogan on the lips. In the past year, from the introduction of stable employment support policies to the implementation of the healthcare infrastructure project; From the long-term care insurance system covering 300 million people, to the implementation of a childcare subsidy system benefiting over 30 million infants and young children, to the policy of free education for one year before school... every measure is a concrete response from the Party and the government to the expectations of the masses, bringing warmth to the hearts of thousands of households. The improvement of people's livelihoods can be seen, touched, and felt. Flipping through the "Two Sessions Special Issue" of People's Daily, there are many vivid cases: Dandong in Liaoning Province has improved the quality of preschool education to reassure parents; Chongqing Tongnan promotes high-quality and balanced basic education, enabling children to "attend good schools"; Hubei Xiaogan supports entrepreneurship to drive employment and ignite enthusiasm for work; Suzhou, Jiangsu provides artificial intelligence assisted healthcare, using data to run errands for the public; Anhui Chizhou has built elderly meal assistance programs to solve urgent difficulties and worries; Putian, Fujian has completed the relocation of resettlement housing, allowing the masses to live in peace of mind; Ningxia Yinchuan has implemented comprehensive policies to assist disadvantaged groups, allowing policy warmth to run ahead of difficulties... Improving people's livelihoods is where the masses have the most say. The laughter in the classroom, the motivation of the job, the convenience of seeking medical treatment, the warmth of the dining table, the tranquility of the new home, and the help in times of hardship... all come together to create a truly touching answer to the people's livelihood. These changes are written in daily life and engraved in the hearts of the people, vividly interpreting the development concept of "putting the people at the center". Ensuring and improving people's livelihoods has no end. This year, the government work report proposed "greater efforts" to safeguard people's livelihoods, specifically reflected in promoting high-quality and full employment, promoting education equity and quality improvement, strengthening basic medical and health services, and enhancing social security and services. 'Greater efforts' means not only addressing current urgent needs and anxieties, but also focusing on the long term, using institutional arrangements to respond to new issues such as population structure changes, and making macro policies resonate with people's needs. At the same time, the report also proposes to improve measures to adapt to the development of artificial intelligence technology and promote employment and entrepreneurship, such as implementing a subsidy project for elderly care services for those with moderate to severe disabilities. These measures emphasize new dimensions such as service consumption and technological empowerment, not only policy refinement, but also conceptual upgrading, marking the acceleration of the transformation of people's livelihood work from "whether there is" to "whether it is good or not", and from expansion to precision. Chinese path to modernization focuses on people's livelihood. In recent years, a series of bottom-up policies have been launched intensively, not only strengthening the basic living line of disadvantaged groups, but also highlighting the significant advantages of the socialist system in concentrating efforts to accomplish major tasks, cover the bottom line, and benefit people's livelihoods. From raising the standard and expanding the coverage of urban and rural subsistence allowances to ensuring full coverage for those in extreme poverty; From flexible and efficient temporary assistance to precise distribution of subsidies for people with disabilities, every policy targets the groups that need the most care, using institutional rigidity to safeguard social temperature. Ensuring and improving people's livelihoods requires continuous progress, not completion. As long as we always put the people in the highest position in our hearts and respond to expectations with achievements, we will definitely be able to lift up the "stable happiness" of billions of people, and make the beautiful life more complete and warm in color.
