Reforms crucial for the Chinese Dream

Deepening of positive change is part of blueprint drawn up by Xi to help the people and the nation realize aspirations

Thanks to reform measures taken by the local government, migrant worker Liu Gang found it easier to have his hukou, or household registration, transferred in April from his rural hometown to an urban region with better education, pension and medical services.

Liu, 24, a resident of Chengguan district in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, said that in the past, he had to work at least two years in Lanzhou before applying for the city's hukou, but now he could submit the application at any time as long as he owned a house in the city.
