A thousand things are, in the final analysis, the business of thousands of households
On February 1, the second session of the 18th Chengdu Municipal People's Congress opened, and Mayor Wang Fengchao made a work report for nearly one and a half hours, and applauded 15 times. Uncle Cheng counted them, and half of them happened when mentioning people's livelihood matters. Usually, it is a subconscious action to get a first-class work report and directly look at the achievements of the past year and the work plan for the next year. However, Chengdu's first-class work report has forced people to stop at some social development data and the expression of people's livelihood services:
The attendance rate of the Chinese Super League ranked first in the country, and the "gold medal ball market" returned to Chengdu again in the cheering of "Chengdu Xiongqi"; We can't forget that the courier brother who recited the paralyzed old man from the fire, "beef noodles don't want beef" to eat noodles for free; Pay more attention to the "growing pains", so that more children can say goodbye to "little anxiety", not "little chubby", and not wear "small glasses"; It can better meet the living needs of citizens at the doorstep of their homes, such as changing trouser legs, distributing keys, sharpening kitchen knives, and repairing water and electricity; Persist in taking doing things for the people and bringing benefits to the people as the most important ...... of political achievements
Some Chengdu stories, some mortal glimmers, and some concerns for disadvantaged groups and urban service providers make a calm work report moving and emotional. Through these expressions, we see the heart of a megacity that wants to transform the results of development into a beautiful experience that can be felt and reached by more than 21 million people. A thousand things are, in the final analysis, the business of thousands of householdsCities are born for people and evolve for people. Chengdu, starting with the end in mind, is promoting the "major events of the city" of social and economic development. The construction of a "people's city" requires confidence and strength, economic development is still a solid backing for social development, Chengdu will continue to be the "ballast stone" and "main engine" for the development of Sichuan Province, to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth.
Shimmer
* The work report begins with "looking back on the past year", which is often followed by the achievements of economic and social development in the past year, talking about the great challenges, the difficulty of the tasks, the domestic and international situation, and how it has passed the difficult test. But this year, when Chengdu looks back, what it sees is an unforgettable "Chengdu story". "If you have no income in Chengdu and encounter difficulties, you can come to our store and tell our staff to have a 'beef noodles without beef', just leave directly after eating, you're welcome! "In November 2023, a loving signboard of a noodle restaurant in Chengdu became popular online.
Red Star News netizens commented that this store is rare not only to give others the kindness of "holding an umbrella", but also to protect the self-esteem of everyone in difficulty. A deaf-mute couple in Jianyang, Chengdu, opened a "silent pedicure shop", and when they gave customers pedicures, their 6-year-old daughter would act as a "sign language interpreter" on the side. The appearance of the voice and color and the sound and emotion made many netizens call cute, "It's just a little angel"! These ordinary heroes, who became popular on the Internet at the time and later died down, were put on the ** work report. Chengdu "affectionately confesses" to these people and these things:
Every change in the city embodies the wisdom and sweat of the people of the city, and every achievement is full of the dedication and hard work ......of all sectors of societyThe glimmer of light becomes a torch, the trickle becomes a stream, the good deeds of mortals, the great love of the world, countless ordinary heroes, the achievement of extraordinary cities, and countless mortal glimmers, shining on the beautiful city. ”
GDP increased by 6% year-on-year, and the regional GDP exceeded 22 trillion yuan, the country's second provincial capital city with a total social consumption of more than 1 trillion yuan, 2 new 100 billion-level industrial clusters, 63 billion yuan of major investment projects, the first national laboratory park in the western region, and an air passenger throughput of 7,49240,000 ......Compared with the sharpness of these economic achievements in the work report, the glimmer of mortals is more "unforgettable". After listening to the report, Hu Yichao, a representative of the Chengdu Municipal People's Congress, told Uncle Cheng that when she heard the report mention that 2023 "is 5380,000 elderly people with special difficulties have been provided with home-based elderly care services, and various relief funds for people in difficulty have been distributed13700 million yuan, and the centralized support rate of the willing and qualified people living in extreme poverty reached 100 percent." "Last year, Chengdu implemented the work of 'expanding as much as possible', so that the urban and rural subsistence allowance benefited more people in need. Hu Yichao is related to civil affairs work on a daily basis, and after doing a lot of investigation, evaluation, and publicity work, she sighed very much, "It is not easy for some seriously ill and disabled people to benefit from this." ”

Ordinary people and ordinary things let Chengdu remember it in my heart. This megacity is home to more than 21 million people and is still experiencing a steady influx of people. In 2023, Chengdu will attract all kinds of talents to settle in 72210,000 people, and has been rated as "China's Best Talent Attraction City" for five consecutive years. As the saying goes, "people's livelihood is the biggest economy", people are where the potential for sustainable urban development lies, but it also brings new challenges to the existing urban governance capacity.
Xinhua News AgencyAt present, the emergence and integration of various emerging business formats in Chengdu has accelerated, giving birth to many new occupations, such as takeaway brothers and flash delivery workers. If the best governance ability cannot be followed up in time, these new professional groups are easy to be "forgotten" by the city. In 2023, Chengdu will have built and operated more than 1,600 service stations for outdoor workers and 142 stations for takeaway riders, so that sanitation workers, bus drivers, construction workers, and courier boys can come in at any time to rest, drink hot water, and eat hot meals. Overall, Chengdu's livelihood expenditure accounted for 69% of the general public budget expenditure last year, an increase of nearly 2 percentage points over 2022. In 2024, Chengdu hopes that as much as possible, everyone will be included in the scope of public services and rights protection. **As mentioned in the work report, this year it will not hesitate to promote the "special action to expand the scope and improve the quality of social security", with the goal of "increasing the participation rate of basic pension insurance to more than 94%" and "purchasing more than 150,000 employees for new employment forms such as couriers and online delivery workers". Writing a chapter on people's livelihood, Chengdu will also come up with "science and technology and hard work". "Smart Chengdu" is a new trump card that Chengdu has created in improving urban governance in the past two years. In the new year, Chengdu will improve the data resource database of population and electronic licenses, and include 1,926 digital signs of urban operation into real-time monitoring. In this way, Chengdu can more systematically analyze the spatial distribution of population structure, age structure and occupational characteristics, so as to scientifically and rationally design the "one old and one young" service system for different communities. Sound and efficient governance at the grassroots level will also make people's livelihood projects more accessible. Last year, Chengdu completed the renovation of 616 old courtyards, 3,236 urban villages, and 3,151 shantytowns. This year, Chengdu proposed to continue to implement 70 urban village transformation projects. In particular, in the process of renovation, Chengdu proposed to "retain the famous snack time-honored brands" to retain the city's fireworks, so that the city can retain its roots and let the citizens remember their nostalgia. In the old urban experience, "demolishing the old and building the new" often means the loss of traditional vitality, and Chengdu hopes to reverse this situation.
From the "micro" perspective of Xinhua News Agency, Chengdu's new round of layout is more than one. Small sewing and repair, home appliance repair, key distribution, kitchen knife sharpening, these "old" service formats are often updated, but residents' lives are really inseparable. The report specifically mentions that Chengdu will carry out a pilot project for the construction of embedded service facilities in urban communities to "better meet the living needs of citizens at the doorstep of their homes, such as changing trouser legs, distributing keys, sharpening kitchen knives, and repairing water and electricity", and carefully care for the thick fireworks of happy Chengdu. Now, Chengdu has set its GDP growth target for this year at around 6% again. The goal is not low, and the key to solving the problem lies in people.
Path
For the people's livelihood, listen to the people's opinions, and let the "people's voice" determine the "people's livelihood", not just talk. At the end of the report, Chengdu made the "people" a yardstick for its own construction
Persist in taking doing things for the people and bringing benefits to the people as the most important ...... of political achievementsinsist on taking the "wish list" of citizens as the "duty list" of the first class; Always take the needs of the masses as the first choice and the satisfaction of the citizens as the first criterion.
Even, when we want to live a normal life of "tight life", Chengdu also proposed that the two major uses of precious funds are "critical to development" and "people's livelihood is urgently needed", promising to "make people's wallets more bulging, their families thicker, and their lives more prosperous".
Xinhua News Agency: Chengdu has set up a "city design" of "building a people's city", and the narrative of people's livelihood is inseparable from strong strength, because economic development is a solid backing for social development. Today, the country is entering a critical period of reshaping the development momentum. Facing the future, Chengdu has been entrusted with the mission of building an important growth pole and a new power source to drive the high-quality development of the country, and the construction of the strategic rear has ushered in a new acceleration period. A new round of development opportunities has arrived, and Chengdu plans to continue to be the "ballast stone" and "main engine" of Sichuan's development, so as to achieve effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth. For quality improvement, Chengdu hopes to make a breakthrough in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Counting Chengdu's innovation resources, a total of 8 universities have been selected for the "double first-class" construction, ranking fourth in the country, 10 disciplines have entered the top 1% of the ESI global rankings, the construction of the first national laboratory in the west has been accelerated, and the Chengdu Supercomputer Center has also been included in the national sequence, which is not high. Improving the level of transformation of scientific and technological achievements is a necessary step for Chengdu at present. Last year, Chengdu successively issued a number of documents, focusing on breaking the "two skins" of science and technology and industry, and promoting scientific and technological innovation and the transformation of scientific and technological achievements at the same time. According to the new plan, Chengdu will further transform scientific and technological achievements into the "No. 1 project" of scientific and technological innovation this year, accelerate the construction of advanced technological achievements in the western transformation center and other carriers, and at the same time cultivate scientific and technological enterprises gradually. The logic behind this is that only by transforming scientific and technological advantages into industrial advantages can we further empower regional development and ultimately realize that citizens can share the fruits of development.
Xinhua News Agency for the increment, Chengdu also put forward a new goal. According to the first work report, Chengdu is expected to promote the growth of fixed asset investment in the whole society this year5%, the total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 7%, and the total import and export volume of foreign trade increased by 45%。Especially in the field of modern industrial system construction, we will strive to introduce more than 380 major projects, promote the growth of industrial added value above designated size by 6%, build a low-altitude economic center in the west, and promote breakthroughs in 24 subdivisions such as quantum science and technology.
The goal is first, and the next step is to closely follow the word "real" and implement each work in a down-to-earth and down-to-earth manner. As the saying goes, hard work writes a chapter. Text |Wu Linjing, Yang Qifei.
