General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the ultimate goal of reform and development is to enable people to lead better lives. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed that safeguarding and improving people's livelihoods in the course of development is a major task of Chinese modernization. Following the direction guided by General Secretary Xi, various regions have adhered to a people-centered approach, carrying out practical actions that benefit, warm, and satisfy the people, ensuring that the fruits of reform and development more extensively and equitably benefit all people. During this period, in Changcheng Garden Community, Jinfeng District, Yinchuan City, Ningxia, construction workers are busy upgrading the community's infrastructure. Upon completion later this year, it will become a comprehensive service center for community residents, integrating dining, shopping, leisure, entertainment, and sports, benefiting over 8,600 households in the community. In June this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Changcheng Garden Community for inspection. The General Secretary told everyone that our Party serves the people wholeheartedly, and that ethnic groups and every family are all my concern. He emphasized the need to focus on resolving the urgent difficulties and concerns of residents, and to deepen, refine, and implement various services for the common people. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which was held recently, identified "adhering to a people-centered approach" as one of the major principles that must be implemented in further comprehensively deepening reform. The session pointed out the necessity of strengthening inclusive, basic, and bottom-line livelihood construction, resolving the most pressing, direct, and realistic issues of concern to the people, and continuously meeting the people's aspirations for a better life. This year, Ningxia will closely align with the demand for "doorstep" services for the masses, establish a list of 232 public needs including transportation, parking, and community environment, create more than 40 high-quality "15-minute" convenient living circles, and accelerate the补足 (make up for) shortcomings in community services and improve convenient service facilities. In Chinese modernization, people's livelihood is paramount. Currently, various regions are actively identifying the focal points and breakthroughs for reform from the urgent difficulties and concerns of the common people, to guarantee and improve livelihoods. Urban renewal benefits the people. This year, the nation plans to start the renovation of 54,000 old urban residential communities. In Zhejiang, the local authorities are accelerating the renovation of old communities through innovative measures such as further optimizing and simplifying approval procedures, broadening channels for fundraising, and integrating resources through district-level coordination. As of now, the annual task completion rate has exceeded 99.3%. In Anhui, the local authorities are taking urban renewal as an opportunity, utilizing new technologies such as big data and the Internet of Things to equip urban pipelines for natural gas, drainage, water supply, and bridges with sensing devices, making urban governance smarter and more efficient. Elderly care services: enriching supply. Since the beginning of this year, Beijing has continuously improved its elderly care service system, clarifying 158 specialized elderly care services across 7 major categories, including care for the disabled and rehabilitation nursing, making information on elderly care service projects, providers, and prices fully transparent to all stakeholders in elderly care. Focusing on areas with high aging populations, especially those with a high concentration of elderly people aged 80 and above or those with disabilities and cognitive impairments, Beijing has also comprehensively planned for clusters of elderly care service facilities. Among the 100 regional elderly care service centers to be built in 2024, 83 are located in heavily or moderately aging areas. Urban greening benefits the people. Guangxi is fully advancing urban landscaping and greening construction, actively exploring the sharing of park green spaces, and creating convenient, comfortable, and beautiful public green spaces for the masses. This year, it plans to build 80 pocket parks. In Nanning, the local authorities, guided by citizens' demand for leisure and fitness, are vigorously promoting the "park + sports" model to create a number of multi-functional healthy activity spaces. When the people have needs, reform responds. On the new journey, by anchoring the people's aspiration for a better life, ensuring that reform is for the people, relies on the people, and its achievements are shared by the people, and continuously improving people's well-being in high-quality development, the fruits of Chinese modernization construction will more extensively and equitably benefit all people.

At the Paris Olympic Games, young Chinese athletes have unleashed a youthful storm. They are courageous, confident, constantly surpassing themselves in the pursuit of their dreams, embodying the Chinese spirit and the Olympic spirit. The power of youth in the new era shone brightly at the Paris Olympics. The day of the Men's 4x100m Medley Relay final happened to be Pan Zhanle's 20th birthday. He and his teammates Xu Jiayu, Qin Haiyang, and Sun Jiajun, forming the Chinese team, broke the United States' 40-year monopoly in this event, winning a precious gold medal. Previously, Pan Zhanle had also won the men's 100m freestyle gold medal with a world record-breaking performance. Zheng Qinwen, 21, pushed her limits and surpassed herself to clinch the women's singles tennis gold medal, creating new history for Chinese tennis. After winning, she emotionally declared: "National honor is paramount." In these Olympic Games, 17-year-old Quan Hongchan and 19-year-old Chen Yuxi once again performed their "splash-free dive." When praised, Quan Hongchan said, "I'm not a genius girl, I'm also scared jumping from the 10-meter platform." In the three years from Tokyo to Paris, the two girls overcame physical and psychological obstacles one by one, using their dedication to conquer self-doubt and let their dreams illuminate their path forward. In the Men's 10m Air Pistol competition, 24-year-old Xie Yu fired two 10-rings in the final moments. His calm smile after winning was serene and composed. In the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Team event, 17-year-old Huang Yuting wore a white hair clip, leading netizens to comment that she "wears the cutest hair clip, shoots the fiercest gun." And in the Men's 10m Air Rifle final, Sheng Lihao's figure, shooting the entire time without earplugs, amazed the entire audience. Diligent training and courageous struggle are the foundations of these young athletes' steel-like resilience and unstoppable momentum. In the Women's Freestyle BMX final, Chinese athlete Deng Yawen, already holding the highest score of 92.50 from the first round, unleashed her trump card move, the "Dragon Tail Two Rotations," a move with a strong Chinese cultural name, which was her best answer to the challenge of winning an Olympic gold medal. 11-year-old Zheng Haohao started skateboarding at 7, participated in the National Games at 9, began competing in international competitions at 10, and participated in the Olympics at 11. The deepest impression she leaves on people is her constant bright smile. With a mission on their shoulders and a commitment to struggle, each moment of struggle and each touching declaration is the best interpretation of the Chinese sports spirit and the Olympic spirit. The Paris Olympics are about to close, and the stories of struggle of Chinese athletes will continue to write new brilliant chapters!

Among them, districts like Lishui in Nanjing, Jiangsu, and Yuxi in Yunnan have achieved "village-to-village full coverage" of charging piles. In the next step, the National Energy Administration will accelerate the弥补 (making up for) shortcomings in public charging and swapping infrastructure in rural areas, promote the demonstration and application of new technologies and models such as community unified construction and operation and mobile charging, and accelerate the construction of a high-quality charging infrastructure system.
