Putting people first and foremost has always been a core ideal of the CPC's governance philosophy. The people-centered philosophy, which highlights constantly meeting
people's aspirations and demands for a better life, also served as the
value basis in drafting the Party leadership's proposals for formulating
the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) for National Economic and Social
Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035. For example, more than half of the health paragraph was devoted to
outlining the development targets in strengthening the public health
system amid the COVID-19 epidemic, and safeguarding people's lives and
health was specified as one guiding principle of boosting sci-tech
innovation. Among the 12 major tasks in the proposals, those focusing on
improving people's living standards and improving social construction
accounted for the largest share. The drafting process also invited the public to contribute their wisdom. From Aug. 16 to 29, online solicitations received over 1 million
comments, based on which relevant authorities sorted out more than 1,000
suggestions. Many webusers like "Yunfan" are happy to find that their suggestions on elderly care have been incorporated in the proposals. The proposals called for "solid efforts to push forward common prosperity." To achieve that, the proposals listed a series of measures including
raising the proportion of labor remuneration in the primary
distribution, increasing the income of low-income group and expanding
the middle-income group. The proposals are a concentration of the Party's founding mission of
seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the
Chinese nation, said a member of the CPC Central Committee who attended
the plenary session last week. Enditem
