Where the spring tide surges, it is the right time to make progress. In the spring when the “15th Five-Year Plan” begins, deputies to the National People’s Congress and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from all over the country gathered in Beijing to perform their responsibilities and participate in government affairs with high spirits, contributing wisdom and strength to the “15th Five-Year Plan” to get off to a good start.

The echo of history, traveling through time and space. In his New Year's message more than two months ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping affectionately asked us to "continue to answer Yan'an's 'cave dwelling questions' well and write an answer for the times that is worthy of the people."

But looking at the path, it is green and green. From conversations in cave dwellings in Yan'an to discussions on state affairs in the Great Hall of the People, our party, our country, and our people have gone through ups and downs and overcome difficulties along the way. Regardless of winds and waves, we have always stood proudly in the east of the world. How can we successfully break out of the historical cycle of the rise and fall of chaos?

Ask the people’s support and know the foundation of governance. The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for basically realizing socialist modernization, laying a solid foundation, and making full efforts. The process of drafting and soliciting opinions on the government work report, the draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan, and various motion reports is a process of listening to the people's voices, pooling their wisdom, and gathering their strength. Every year during the National Two Sessions, from the careful deliberations of the National People's Congress deputies to the active suggestions of the CPPCC members, the people's interests are always put first in every aspect, and the people's thoughts and ideas are integrated into the top-level design and decision-making arrangements for national development in every aspect.

Chinese-style modernization puts people’s livelihood first. From the "people's livelihood list" of the local two sessions to the hot words on the national two sessions, it clearly outlines the people's livelihood concerns of the national two sessions in 2026: employment security, "one-elderly-one-child" services, education and medical quality improvement, urban renewal and housing improvement, grassroots governance optimization, etc. This is both a must-answer question and a priority. Only by always putting the people at the highest position in our hearts and allowing them to become participants, supervisors, and beneficiaries of development can democracy have vitality, development have motivation, and governance have a solid foundation.

The questions about cave dwellings remain fresh over time; the answers to the times are written in thick and clear lines. Taking the "cave dwelling pair" as a mirror and the consensus of the two sessions as a pen, we will continue to write a magnificent answer worthy of the people and the times in the vast land of China.
