Life for people will indeed be beautiful

The phrase "a beautiful life" found several mentions in the report General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on Wednesday, which reflects the people-oriented development approach of the Party leadership with Xi at the core.

To have a beautiful life has long been a dream of the Chinese people. To help people lead a better life, by extending them equal opportunities and tapping their potential to the maximum, is the ultimate goal of China's development and a motivator for its further development. Chinese people will pursue a beautiful life, as Xi said in his report, for the comfort, happiness and security it brings.

Over the past five years, Chinese people's living conditions have greatly improved, with more than 60 million impoverished people lifted out of poverty and the education system in the less-developed and central and western regions ameliorated. China's employment condition, too, is better, and the incomes of urban and rural residents have grown faster than the GDP, while the middle-income group has expanded, and the healthcare and social governance systems have vastly improved.
