After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, when meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira, Comrade Deng Xiaoping used "well-off" to describe China's modernization for the first time. Then the three-step development strategy of China's economic modernization is conceived and designed. After more than 20 years of reform and opening up, China has successfully achieved the first two goals of the "three-step" strategy of modernization, and the people's life has generally reached a well-off level. Now, China has entered a new development stage of building a healthy society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization.
Liyang is located between Maoshan Mountain and Taihu Lake, with hills and plains accounting for about half of the land area and rich in nonmetallic minerals. There are limestone, calcite, bentonite, porcelain clay, refractory soil, quartz stone and pyrophyllite. Chinese herbal medicines include Pseudostellaria heterophylla, Platycodon grandiflorum, Polygonatum odoratum, Prunella vulgaris, motherwort, etc. Native products include chestnut, safflower, black rice, white celery and Maojian bonus. Tianmu Lake and Nanshan Bamboo Sea in the suburbs are famous tourist attractions. On the wall of Bieqiao Yushi Ancestral Hall, there is a book called "Chunhua Pavilion Post", which copied the works of many famous artists and the calligraphy of celebrities before the Song Dynasty. Places of interest include Gaojing Garden.
Over the decades of reform and opening up, Liyang people have seized every opportunity to create a fairyland on earth with their own hands and wisdom, which has brought about earth-shaking changes in Liyang. Compared with the previous economic conditions, it is a world of difference. I still remember the stories my grandparents told us about the past. They wear small cotton gowns in winter, and now we wear down jackets to keep out the cold. There are some rags in their coats, and our down jackets are all duck feathers, which is much warmer than their rags. At that time, they ate bark and grass roots. Later, when the economy improved, they ate sweet potato buns. It's hard to eat a meal in the New Year, and a few drops of oil are splashed in the dumpling stuffing. This is a delicious meal. Looking forward to big fish and big meat every day. But what about now? Eat big fish and meat every day, but also pursue rough tea and light rice. I want to eat lightly. Dad didn't eat at home for four days during the May Day Golden Week, and all his friends invited him to dinner. The meal was a delicacy, but when someone invited him for the fifth time, he politely refused. Because he is really not happy. There used to be an old saying that "it's sweeter than eating honey", but now I don't think many people will think honey is very sweet. Nowadays, rows of high-rise buildings have replaced the former thatched cottages and red tile houses. I used to live in a small tile house with dozens of square meters, but now I live in an apartment or even a villa with hundreds of square meters, which is spacious and bright. Very comfortable! Now, the road is wide and flat. There are also more private cars. The people's economy has taken off! Migrant workers are also a part of society. Now migrant workers' awareness of rights protection has been greatly improved, and the national government has also introduced several policies for migrant workers. In the past, it was rare for company bosses to owe wages to migrant workers. It seems that the purpose of the government's existence is to serve the people, solve problems for the people, uphold justice and be a good master of the people. It can be seen that our life has developed rapidly in these decades.
Material life satisfaction does not mean spiritual satisfaction. Take us for example, although our material life is superior and full, we don't forget our spiritual pursuit. We often hold some cultural activities. Every night, many citizens go to the square to dance, all for fitness. Liyang is known as the hometown of children's calligraphy. Many children, young people and old people learn calligraphy to cultivate their sentiments.
I understand that hard work is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. It is the hard work and tenacious efforts of generations that make our motherland self-reliant and prosperous. Today, only by vigorously carrying forward hard work, not for hardship, can we consolidate and improve the well-off level achieved at present and successfully realize the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.
Finally, let's join hands to create a well-off society!
