In the past year, we have the same memories. The success of the Shanghai World Expo and the Guangzhou Asian Games has attracted worldwide attention and made us feel proud. In the past year, we helped each other in the same boat, * * * overcame major natural disasters such as the strong earthquake in Yushu, Qinghai and the catastrophic mudslide in Zhouqu, Gansu, and encouraged our compatriots to strive for self-improvement. In the past year, we successfully completed the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", changed the mode and adjusted the structure to effectively cope with the international financial crisis, and handed over a beautiful answer sheet on economic development. Looking back, laughter and tears have solidified into memories.
Looking ahead, it is full of infinite possibilities and hopes. At the beginning of the new year, make a wish for spring and wish the motherland stronger and more prosperous. In the new year, we will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), usher in the first year of the 12th Five-Year Plan, and commemorate the anniversary of the Revolution of 1911100th. Great things are coming. Problems such as preventing inflation and regulating housing prices are also in front of us. Standing at a new historical starting point, I believe that the motherland will handle these major issues with a more mature, confident and open attitude and establish a new image of the rise of the Chinese nation.
Make a wish to spring, hoping that everyone can enjoy the sunshine and live with more dignity. People's livelihood is the foundation of national development. It is the solemn commitment of the government to make people's livelihood live with more dignity and do everything for people's well-being. We can see that on the occasion of the New Year, the tangible hand of the government has struck hard, adjusted prices to control the property market, and is determined to protect people's livelihood. In the face of people in difficulty, the central government allocated 654.38+004 billion yuan to provide one-time living allowances to more than 86 million people in urban and rural areas across the country, which made people feel the government's childlike heart of loving the people and benefiting the people. In addition, adjusting unfair income distribution and listening to public opinions face to face with petitioners all convey the government's more open mind and positive attitude towards people's livelihood issues. I hope that in the new year, there will be more such acts of loving the people and benefiting the people, so that the sunshine of fairness and justice will shine on everyone's face.
It is often said that spring is the season of sowing, and only by sprinkling hard sweat in spring can we reap fruitful results in autumn. To make a wish to spring is to sow hope and expectation for yourself. Standing at the gate of the Year of the Rabbit, everyone will have many wishes. It is the efforts made for these New Year's wishes that can converge into a torrent to promote the development and progress of the motherland.
Facing the spring of the new year, let's pray and make a wish together. May our days be sweeter, our lives happier, our country richer and everyone have dignity.
