East China’s Jiangsu province has made headway in the improvement of people’s livelihood represented by medical care, elderly care, childcare, housing, and education, according to the “striving for a new era” theme achievement exhibition held in Beijing.
Shiye Town is an island in the Yangtze River. In the past, the only option for the more than 10000 villagers in the town to see a doctor was to rely on the health center on the island.
In recent years, Jiangsu has made great efforts to solve the imbalance of medical and health resources allocation and the weak capacity of primary medical and health services by means of delegating medical resources and strengthening the cooperation between large city hospitals and township hospitals.
The smile of peach growers in Yangshan Village of Wuxi City at the time when they enjoyed a bumper harvest, and the busy scene of the farmers in Dingzhuang Village of Jurong County at the time when they picked grapes are typical of Jiangsu’s implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the vigorous development of profit-making industries.
The beautiful rural images including Jiangxiang Village in Changshu City and Jianhe New Rural Community in Suqian City show the new style of the land of fish and rice in the new era.
Jin Jiarui, a visitor to the exhibition, said that the people have become happier with the more improved and balanced economic development, adding that he is very confident about his future life at a time when the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is about to be held.
In 2021, Jiangsu’s per capita disposable income reached 47500 yuan with the income ratio of urban and rural residents narrowed from 2.37:1 in 2012 to 2.16:1 in 2021.
The province’s average urban and rural subsistence allowances increased by 85% and 123%, and the unemployment insurance premiums increased by 110%.
With people’s livelihood effectively guaranteed, Jiangsu people have got more substantial, secure and sustainable sense of gain, happiness and security.
Wang Yuxian, a visitor to the exhibition, said that every time he returned to Nanjing, he felt that great changes had taken place in Nanjing and that the city was still moving forward. The 20th National Congress of the Party is about to be held, and everyone is full of confidence. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, people’s lives will definitely get better and better.
