Developing the trinity of socialist economic construction, political construction and cultural construction into the overall layout of socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction, emphasizing improving people's livelihood and speeding up social construction, is a new understanding and summary of our party's cause in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which has great theoretical and practical significance.
It embodies the essential requirements of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. "The essence of socialism is to liberate and develop productive forces, eliminate exploitation and polarization, and finally achieve prosperity with * * * *." Deng Xiaoping's scientific and incisive exposition on the essence of socialism embodies the unity of productive forces and relations of production, which not only requires the great development of productive forces to provide a material basis for improving people's living standards, but also requires the continuous improvement of relations of production and distribution, so that all people can embark on the road of prosperity together. Our party's three-step strategic plan for socialist modernization organically combines the goal of developing the economy in each step with the goal of improving people's lives and promoting social progress, and makes unified arrangements. It is the starting point and the end result of all the work of our party and country to focus on solving the problems of life, production and life safety that are related to the vital interests of the people, safeguarding the economic, political, cultural and social rights and interests of the people, and striving to realize the all-round development of people. Emphasizing improving people's livelihood and speeding up social construction is a concentrated expression of our party's firm grasp of the essential characteristics of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is also an important deployment for developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, reflecting the common aspiration of all people.
Reflects the in-depth implementation of the requirements of Scientific Outlook on Development. The first essence of Scientific Outlook on Development is development, the core is people-oriented, the basic requirement is comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable, and the fundamental method is overall consideration. Development is the top priority of our party in governing and rejuvenating the country. Only by seizing the opportunity to achieve sound and rapid development can we continuously enhance our comprehensive national strength, promote all-round social progress and improve people's living standards. Without development, nothing can be said. Development must adhere to the people-oriented principle, respect the people's dominant position, give play to the people's initiative spirit, and ensure that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people. Scientific Outlook on Development demands that development must adhere to all-round, coordinated and sustainable development, comprehensively promote economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction, coordinate urban and rural, regional, economic and social development, coordinate the harmonious development between man and nature, coordinate domestic development and opening up, take into account and coordinate various interests in the process of reform and development, and promote coordination in all aspects of modernization. One of the important aspects is to pay attention to safeguarding and improving people's livelihood, strengthen social construction and promote coordinated economic and social development on the basis of economic development.
It embodies the requirements of building a harmonious socialist society. Accelerating social construction focusing on improving people's livelihood has grasped the key to maintaining and realizing social fairness and justice, and the key to solving the problems of unbalanced economic and social development and affecting social harmony and stability. Building a harmonious socialist society is a long-term historical task, which runs through the whole process of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's career. It is a historical process of correctly handling various social contradictions on the basis of development, and it is also a very important and urgent task. Its basic requirements are to solve the most concerned, direct and realistic interests of the people, to develop social undertakings and to promote social fairness and justice; It is to expand public services and gradually realize the equalization of basic public services; It is to straighten out the distribution relationship, increase the income of urban and rural residents, and handle the relationship between fairness and efficiency; It is to improve social management, enhance social creativity and maintain social stability and unity. Only in this way can all the people live in harmony with each other as much as they can, and their enthusiasm, initiative and creativity can be fully exerted to push forward the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics with one heart and one mind.
It embodies the requirements of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has made great progress in the great cause of building a well-off society in an all-round way, but it also faces many problems. It is more difficult for agriculture to develop steadily and farmers to increase their income continuously; Employment, social security, income distribution, education and health, residents' housing, production safety, judicial justice, social security and other issues related to the vital interests of the masses are still many, and some low-income people have difficulties in life. Failure to solve these problems will seriously affect the overall situation of social harmony and stability and building a well-off society in an all-round way. At the same time, in the new stage of development, people expect a better life and put forward higher requirements for education, health, social security, public services, living environment and all-round personal development. The demand for public services in the whole society is growing rapidly, and it is even more necessary to speed up the development of social undertakings. To accomplish this historical task, we must adhere to the coordinated development of economic, political, cultural and social construction. Without any of them, it is difficult to achieve the goal of building a well-off society at a higher level in an all-round way.
