"Do more practical things to strengthen basic, universal and basic people's livelihood construction and solve the urgent, difficult and worrying problems of the people", "especially, we must pay attention to the most basic people's livelihood", "run education that satisfies the people"... During the Two Sessions, General Secretary Xi Jinping discussed the national affairs with representatives and deputies, and he was here to consider the people's livelihood issues. The concern that is always assured is contained in the deepest and most profound feelings for the people of the people, giving people warmth and strength.

The National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference are an important window to observe the overall situation and an important moment to feel confidence in development. "A new wave of 'people's livelihood red envelopes' is on the way!" The minimum standard for basic pension for urban and rural residents has increased by another 20 yuan; childcare subsidies are issued; the treatment level of skilled talents is improved... During the Two Sessions, good news comes one by one, which really improves the value of people's livelihood and stimulates the forging of dreams to realize them. Family affairs and national affairs in the world, allowing the people to live a happy life is the top priority. China's reform and development in the new era benefited thousands of households and made people more confident in the future.

Confidence comes from pragmatic measures to solve the urgent problems of the people. From promoting full employment and improving employment quality, to promoting the expansion and sinking of high-quality medical resources and regional balanced layout, to promoting community-supported home-based elderly care and strengthening care for disabled elderly people, one measure will directly hit the difficulties and warm people's hearts. Many netizens said: "The policy is very powerful and attaches great importance to the things around the people." The people's voices were "heard", and the people hoped to respond, and take practical measures to deal with social concerns and focus on real problems. A series of heartwarming and heart-wrenching policies and measures make people feel that life has a bright future and a dash in the future. Through the window of the Two Sessions, we once again witnessed the two-way rush of the Party and the people, vividly interpreting "Chinese-style modernization, people's livelihood is the most important."

Confidence comes from people-centered development ideas and practices. "Invest in People" first appeared in this year's government work report, which is meaningful. "Among everything in the world, people are the first to be valuable." Promote more financial resources to "invest in people" and serve people's livelihood, support the expansion of employment, promote residents' income increase and burden reduction, and strengthen consumption incentives, and form a virtuous cycle of economic development and improvement of people's livelihood, which is both beneficial to the present and the long-term. "Invest in people" focuses on promoting the all-round development of people, constantly meeting the people's needs for a better life, further mobilizing and exerting the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of good people, empower development, and accumulate strength for the future. Let the fruits of reform and development benefit all the people more and more equitably, and stimulate and gather the wisdom and strength of hundreds of millions of people will surely inject extremely strong impetus into the giant ship of China.

Confidence comes from the stability expectations that the Party and the government say. "In the past year, I have truly felt the sense of gain brought by what I say." A netizen's comment resonated widely. In the past year, despite all the difficulties and challenges, important development indicators such as my country's GDP growth rate and the number of new urban employment have all met or exceeded expectations. The main goals and tasks of economic and social development have been successfully completed, and Chinese-style modernization has taken new solid steps, proving that "the Chinese people speak, the Communist Party of China, and the leaders of the Communist Party of China keep their count."

Being trustworthy and doing what they do is a valuable quality and a superb ability. Why can China in the new era? The firm consensus reached by the representatives and deputies is also the common voice of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people - the fundamental reason lies in General Secretary Xi Jinping’s leadership and the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The road ahead is long and bright. When goals become reality through unremitting efforts, when "impossibility" becomes possible, we have proved with our hard work and struggle again and again that no difficulties and obstacles can stop the progress of the Chinese people in pursuing a better life, and no stop us from promoting the historical process of building a strong country and national rejuvenation. This is the clear certainty of China's development and the strong confidence for us to move towards the future with confidence and calmness.

In spring, all things grow and are full of vitality. Let us start from the Two Sessions again, water our hope with sweat, and create the future with hard work.
