Original title: Working together for development is the common aspiration of the whole society.
At the beginning of the new year, China's economic and social development showed positive signs of "the dragon raising its head". The first trading day of the Year of the Dragon ushered in a good start, and the consumption data of cultural tourism, film and television, transportation and other fields during the Spring Festival holiday hit a new high, and the energy, willingness and potential that broke out proved that China's economy is stable and improving.
This year is another important year for comprehensively deepening reform, and the main task is to plan for further deepening reform in an all-round way. On February 19, the general secretary presided over the fourth meeting of the Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to persist in using the key measure of reform and opening up to solve problems in development and cope with risks and challenges on the way forward. The meeting also emphasized that "the flavor of reform should be strong and the quality should be sufficient", and "promote the formation of a strong reform atmosphere of courage to innovate, work hard, and forge ahead". The first economic work conference held in December last year also called for "grasping the implementation to the letter", "vigorously and resolutely grasping the implementation", "seeking truth and pragmatic implementation", and "daring to do good to grasp the implementation".
The deployment of finding impetus for development and anchoring high-quality development has been gradually carried out across the country, and there is a high degree of consensus in Chinese society on this. On February 18, the first working day of the Year of the Dragon, the third plenary meeting was held to discuss the work report to be submitted to the second session of the 14th National People's Congress for consideration, and to mobilize for the work of the new year. The meeting released a strong signal of firm confidence and hard work first. On the same day, a number of local provinces and cities held the "first meeting of the new year", and special emphasis was placed on hard work and reform when making work arrangements.
**The general secretary has repeatedly pointed out that "empty talk is misleading the country, and hard work is prosperous", emphasizing that "the road is simple, and hard work is essential". Working together for development is the common aspiration of the whole society. This is also the driving force behind China's economic development over the past 40 years of reform and opening up. It is precisely by emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, boldly trying, and courageously reforming that we have solved all kinds of difficulties and challenges in our hard work and created a new world. It is an important task of great urgency to further unite the strength of the whole society, to put the expectations and calls for deepening reform and striving to be the first in practical work into action as soon as possible, and to make real achievements.
For a period of time, people from all walks of life have reacted quite strongly to some phenomena of formalism and bureaucracy. Through a clear institutional orientation, it is necessary to free the hands and feet of cadres and officials from the shackles and "routines" of formalism and bureaucracy in starting a business, and form a new and healthy atmosphere of seeking truth and being pragmatic, honest and honest. As far as grassroots cadres and all walks of life are concerned, "empty talk will ruin the country, but hard work will rejuvenate the country" is an irrefutable truth, and there is no need to have a wait-and-see mentality at all, just roll up your sleeves and work hard. Everyone should contribute to the development of the country with practical actions. **Departments, enterprises and individuals should abandon formalism and bureaucracy, pay attention to practical work, and pursue practical results.
The active participation of the masses of society is inseparable from the exploration of advanced productive forces and creativity, the struggle against formalism for a long time, the elimination of those contents and links that hinder economic development, and the increase of social vitality and motive force. Society is an organism, and the economic miracles created by China have always been made by everyone with hard work under the leadership of the party and the state.
At present, the direction in which China's economy is moving forward and achieving breakthroughs is very clear. This can be seen clearly from the 2024 economic growth targets and plans announced by 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, and the economic growth targets of various regions fully reflect the pursuit of focusing on cultivating new quality productivity and solidly promoting high-quality development, and the direction of doing everything possible to create vitality and improve productivity is very clear. Plunging into the tide of high-quality economic development of China, and giving full play to the hard work of hundreds of millions of people, the Year of the Dragon and the future can be expected.
