In the 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country has solved the problem of food and clothing for its 1.3 billion people, reduced the number of poor people from 200 million to more than 20 million in 60 years, and basically achieved a moderately prosperous life for the people. According to figures released by the World Bank, 67% of the achievements in poverty alleviation achieved by all mankind in the past 25 years should be attributed to China. This is how much our country has contributed to the new world.

Since the reform and opening up, the income of urban and rural residents has continued to increase. From 1998 to 2007, the per capita disposable income of urban residents increased from 343.4 yuan to 13,786 yuan, and the per capita net income of farmers increased from 133.6 yuan to 4,140 yuan. The annual per capita disposable income of urban residents increased by 14.5%, with a real growth rate of 8.4%. The per capita net income of rural residents increased by 15%, with a real increase of 8%. Consumer spending has grown steadily, household property, including financial assets, has grown rapidly. The lives of the Chinese people have fundamentally changed. They are no longer the traditional lifestyle of "work at sunrise and rest at sunset." We can look at the people's well-off life from the four aspects of "clothing, food, housing and transportation" of the people.

1. Living: When the People's Republic of China was first founded, urban residents' housing areas were small and the facilities were simple. There were large courtyards in the north and pavilions in the south, which were crowded and messy. The so-called "four generations living under ten square meters under one roof, five generations living in humble rooms", rural areas There are adobe houses in the north, and there are many straw huts in the south. They are dilapidated and in disrepair, with people and animals living together, and sanitary conditions are poor. In the sixty years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the living environment has been greatly improved, the living area is large, and the living conditions have been greatly improved. Urban residents move out of old houses without kitchens, bathrooms, or sewers, and move into new buildings and living quarters with beautiful environments. There are high-rise residential areas, duplex buildings, garden communities, and characteristic villas with single doors and courtyards. Rural areas are developing even more rapidly. In the 1970s and 1980s, people lived in tile-roofed houses, in buildings in the 1990s, and in the new century, they lived in villas. Modern household appliances such as air conditioners, color TVs, washing machines, and refrigerators are all available. In the 1960s, residents could not live without "watches, sewing machines, radios, and bicycles." In the 1980s, they became color TVs, video players, washing machines, and motorcycles. Now they are replaced by computers, home theaters, digital cameras, and cars. Four major replacements have taken place. As far as Wujiang is concerned, the per capita housing area was 9 square meters in 1978, and now the per capita housing area has reached 45.5 square meters.

2. Line: In the 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, traffic conditions have improved significantly. Expressways are the main symbol of national modernization. By the end of 2007, the length of expressways in my country exceeded 53,600 kilometers, forming a "capital connecting provincial capitals. Inter-provincial highway network connects major cities and covers important counties and cities. In 2008, the country had 168.03 million motor vehicles and 127.68 million private motor vehicles, including 40.18 million private cars and 87.22 million private motorcycles. There is one car for every six households in Wujiang. Railways are the main arteries of transportation. The Beijing-Kowloon Railway was completed in 1995, spanning nine provinces and cities, connecting Hong Kong and Beijing. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway was completed in 2008, creating several "best in the world" and is known as the Heavenly Road by the Tibetan people. The construction of EMUs and high-speed railways has brought transportation convenience to the people. New and fast means of transportation such as public transportation, buses, taxis, subways, and light rails are closely connected with people's daily lives. By flying, people can travel domestically, travel abroad, sightseeing, leisure vacations, and enjoy the fun of life. The radius of people's activities has been greatly increased.

3. Food: When the People's Republic of China was first founded, the people lived in poverty, had insufficient food, and had only a meager diet. The problem of food and clothing in rural areas had not yet been solved. Later, the country implemented planned supply and issued various vouchers for grain, cooking oil, poultry, etc. Eggs, meat, and soy products are all in limited supply. Since the reform and opening up, not only has the problem of food and clothing been completely solved, but we can also eat well, with balanced nutrition, a good mix of thickness and thickness, and pay attention to green food. Today, our material life is extremely rich. There are a wide range of food in wet markets, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. The market is widely circulated and you can buy it all over the country. Food from all over the world, and hotels, restaurants, hotels, and hot pot cities are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain. All kinds of cuisines meet the needs. People have higher and higher requirements for food. The increasingly rich diet and healthy lifestyle have become today's fashion.

4. Clothes: When the People's Republic of China was first founded, people used foreign cloth and coarse cotton cloth as clothes. They sewed and mended them at home, and rarely bought new clothes. The so-called "three years of the new and three years of the old, mended the clothes". "Three years later", the clothes are simple and monotonous, the same.

Since the reform and opening up, with the development of the times, families have become richer, people have become more and more rich in clothing, and the styles and colors have become more diverse. The popularity of fashion model teams has brought about a fashion whirlwind, leading to a well-off life and the emancipation of ideas. People's clothing has changed dramatically, and they pursue diverse personalities. , school uniforms, factory uniforms, work clothes, sportswear, casual wear, formal wear styles are constantly being renovated. All kinds of clothing, shoes and hats, and clothing brand stores are in full bloom. With economic development and technological advancement, various ready-to-wear fabrics such as leather, wool, silk, cotton, and the application of nanotechnology have made clothing bloom and become a symbol of the improvement of people's quality of life. .

Taking Wujiang as an example, people’s quality of life has improved significantly. There are leisure and cultural squares and parks for leisure, libraries for lifelong learning, youth activity venues—youth activity centers, and fitness centers. With its comprehensive Wujiang Stadium, art appreciation cinema and theater, and popular digital TV, Wujiang has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It is a famous "water city and green city" in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a national civilized city, a national health city, and a national outstanding tourist city. National Excellent City for Comprehensive Urban Environmental Management.

Take rural areas as an example. Every village has access to roads, every village has completed power grid transformation, there is a post and telecommunications station, every village has radio and television, there is a primary school within 3 kilometers of the village, a middle school within 8 kilometers, and 47.1 villages have nurseries. Kindergarten, 65.7 Village has sports and fitness facilities, 34.7 Village has library and cultural station. Among 100 rural residents, there are 147.1 color TV sets, 93.5 telephones, 154.3 mobile phones, 29.7 computers, 88.6 motorcycles, and 10.3 cars. The average living area of ??rural households is 203 square meters, and 99.35 households own their own homes.

To sum up, the sixty years of glory are inseparable from the leadership of the party, the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and reform and opening up. To this end, we must love the Communist Party of China even more, love socialism even more, love reform and opening up even more, love people of all ethnic groups even more, and love our great motherland even more.
