At that time, New China had just been established, and it was the best requirement to eat and wear warm clothes. Now, eating and dressing well is the basic goal. "Well-off" life is the ideal life that China people have been striving for for for thousands of years, but in semi-feudal and semi-colonial old China, it can only be people's dream. After the founding of New China, especially since the Seventh Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the rapid development of the national economy, the income and living standards of urban and rural people have successively reached several big steps, and the consumption structure and consumption environment have undergone significant changes. On the whole, the life of urban and rural residents has achieved a historic leap from poverty to food and clothing and then to a well-off society, and is moving towards a well-off society in an all-round way.

In the past, people wore homespun clothes, but now, there are all kinds of polyester acrylic fabrics. From a single gray to a single green, and now colorful; There are various styles from single style to now. Every era has its own trend. Chinese tunic suit, Blagi, green uniform and blue overalls were once considered as a fashion, but now, they have evolved into various fashion styles, which change every year. Food is the most important thing for people. In the past, no matter what they ate, they would never go hungry. Then, when they are full, they choose to eat. Now, they eat at home and abroad. China people think that owning their own house can be called having a home. In the past, thatched cottages, adobe houses and stone houses were scattered in the vast rural areas of China. Now, brick houses and buildings can be seen everywhere, and the furniture has changed from simple to dazzling. Well, from the two legs before going out to bicycles, and now to motor vehicles such as motorcycles, the traffic has changed from the previous city network to the current village-to-village communication project.

The people's material life has made great achievements, their cultural life has been greatly enriched and their quality of life has been greatly improved. From simply getting information from newspapers and radios to now, mobile phones, televisions, DVDs and computer networks have entered every family. Everyone can enjoy life. Statistics show that the average travel rate of urban and rural residents in China has reached 84.8%. Cultural products are also greatly enriched. With the advancement of cultural system reform, people will enjoy increasingly perfect cultural services. In rural areas, the popularity of cinemas, cultural centers, libraries and other facilities will greatly expand farmers' traditional concept of daily life.

Before liberation, China was a country with 80% illiterate and semi-illiterate population. Since China promulgated the Compulsory Education Law from 65438 to 0986, great achievements have been made in popularizing compulsory education, and the level of national education has been greatly improved. Since the resumption of college entrance examination, higher education has developed rapidly, providing talents and technical support for economic and social development.

In addition, since the founding of New China, the Party and the state have always attached great importance to the development of sports. Under the care of the four generations of collective leadership of the CPC Central Committee, sports has made unprecedented development and a series of great achievements. From the first world champion, the first Olympic champion to the current N champions, and then successfully hosting the world-famous Olympic Games in 2008, China has become one of the world's sports powers.

Since the 62nd anniversary of the founding of New China, great changes have taken place in people's living standards and great achievements have been made in all aspects. As China people, we feel extremely proud and proud. A brand-new and powerful China is being presented to the people of the world step by step.

On the occasion of the 62nd anniversary of the founding of New China, we sincerely wish our country more prosperity and forge ahead courageously on the road to becoming a world power!
