Sixty years after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the motherland has made brilliant achievements and great changes have taken place, which is difficult to fully tell in class time. Here, please allow us to introduce them by listing the great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention:
1. Economic construction: In the 60 years since the founding of New China, China's economic construction has passed the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, especially the leap-forward development in the 30 years of reform and opening up. In 2008, the gross national product has exceeded 23 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 8%, and the total national economy has jumped to the third place in the world after the United States and Japan. The output of major agricultural products and industrial products such as grain, cotton, meat, steel, coal, fertilizer and cement ranks first in the world, and China has truly become a "world factory".
From 1980, when the National People's Congress approved the establishment of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, from 1992, from coastal cities to border cities, and then to inland provincial capital cities in 15, the overall pattern of China's reform and opening up took shape. With the promotion of economic opening to the outside world, the scale of foreign trade has been expanding. 200 1, China formally joined the World Trade Organization. In 2008, China's total import and export trade exceeded US$ 2.5 trillion, with an increase of 18%, ranking first among developing countries with 17 and becoming the third largest trading country in the world. At the same time, the scale and quality of foreign trade utilization have also been greatly improved. In 2008, more than 900 foreign capitals were attracted. In 2007, China's foreign exchange reserves exceeded US$ 65,438 +0.4 trillion, ranking first in the world.
In the 60 years since the founding of New China, China's economy has increased from 1950 to/97 billion US dollars, and reached 3.3 trillion US dollars in 2007. China's gross national product has leapt from 13 to 10 trillion yuan, and the national strength has been significantly enhanced.
Under the guidance of market demand and national macro-control policies, agricultural basic industries have developed greatly, and the yield of Yuan Longping and his super rice exceeds 800 kilograms per mu, which attracts worldwide attention; High-tech industries represented by electronic information technology and energy industry have developed rapidly. Galaxy supercomputers, integrated circuits, intelligent robots, laser technology, nuclear power generation, wind power generation and solar energy have entered the application field and transformed traditional industrial industries.
Significant progress has been made in key national projects such as Capital Airport and Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Sutong Yangtze River Highway Bridge and Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge, South Xinjiang Railway and Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Three Gorges Water Control Project, National "West-East Gas Transmission" Project, Zhejiang Qinshan Nuclear Power, Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power, Jiangsu Tianwan Nuclear Power, and the construction of rivers and lakes, seaports, railways, expressways, airport creation, urban transformation and energy construction.
2. Political construction: Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 60 years ago, the people of China have completely shaken off their position of oppression and exploitation and truly become the masters of the country. The two-session system of the National People's Congress and the China People's Political Consultative Conference guarantees the people's right to be masters of their own affairs. Women in China have been completely liberated and become half of the society. China Productivity Party serves the people, adheres to the "Theory of Three Represents" thought, and becomes the ruling party that people love and support.
All the 56 ethnic groups in China are United, and all the descendants of the Chinese people and relatives of ethnic minorities have realized national autonomy, which embodies the big socialist family. It is worth mentioning that Tibet was peacefully liberated in 195 1, and the serfdom in Tibet was finally overthrown, and people in Xizang stood up from then on.
Since People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded 60 years ago, China's status in the international arena has been improving day by day. 197 1 year, China resumed its legal seat in the United Nations, became a permanent member of the UN Security Council, conducted all-round diplomacy and played an increasingly important role in international affairs. It has played the role of a responsible big country in a series of international crises, such as the financial crisis and the 9 1 1 incident. China has established diplomatic relations with 165 countries and regions, actively promoting dialogue and cooperation in Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Pacific, safeguarding world peace and promoting common development.
Political and economic diplomacy promotes the reunification of the motherland and defends national sovereignty and national dignity. We should be proud that Hong Kong and Macao, seized by imperialism, have returned to the embrace of the motherland. 1997 Hong Kong's return and 1999 Macao's return made the Chinese nation feel proud and embarked on a great journey of national rejuvenation.
3. Construction of science and technology culture: Since the founding of New China 60 years ago, science and technology have been the driving force for the primary productive force to become an advanced culture.
With two bombs and one satellite, China's space industry has made great progress. The first atomic bomb exploded successfully in China on June 1964+05438+06, and the first hydrogen bomb exploded successfully in China on June 1967. This is the famous "two bombs". 1970, China's first artificial earth satellite "Dongfanghong-1" entered space orbit, announcing China's entry into the aviation era. Two bombs and one satellite go down in history. After more than 10 years' efforts, according to the needs of space flight, China successfully developed four series of rockets, namely Long March 1, Long March 2, Long March 3 and Long March 4, and then developed nine types of rockets. The manned space test spacecraft Shenzhou was successfully launched in 1999. In 2003, Shenzhou 5 carried Yang Liwei, creating a new space age in China. In 2005, Shenzhou VI sent two astronauts Fei Longjun and Nie Haisheng into space. In 2008, three astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng successfully completed the space mission aboard Shenzhou VII, taking the first step of China's spacewalk. China became the third country in the world to send humans into space after the Soviet Union and the United States. "Chang 'e I" is another feat of the aerospace industry. In 2007, the successful launch of China's first lunar exploration satellite "Chang 'e-1" became a new milestone in China's space industry.
China's entry into the Internet age is a great social change. 1986, China scientists founded China Academic Network. 1994, China achieved full-function connection with the international network and became a member of the Internet family. China society has entered the information age. 1998, the Ministry of Information Industry of China was established. In 2005, the total number of Internet users in China exceeded 1 billion, ranking second in the world. Everyone can send e-mails, exchange videos and access information online. Online transactions can include blogs and personal web pages. China has made remarkable achievements in Internet and social informatization.
Great achievements have been made in education, health and culture, and the state has implemented the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. Nine-year compulsory education is popularized throughout the country, high school education is vigorously developed, and a vocational education system with complete structure and complete specialties is basically formed. Higher education countries started the "2 1 1 project", and the education reform was comprehensively promoted, and a set of policy systems of award, loan, assistance, supplement and "reduction" were established. In recent years, there are more than 20 million college students in China, which is 1949 times 170 times. In 2008, there were 5,500,000 college graduates, and more than 654,38+0,000,000 were studying as graduate students, which provided professionals for the modernization drive.
After the founding of New China, the Party and the government put people's health and life safety in the first place. The national average life expectancy has increased from 35 years before liberation to 72 years, and the health level of 654.38+300 million people is close to that of developed countries. The basic medical insurance system for urban workers was established and the new rural cooperative medical system was launched. A large number of health towns and villages have emerged throughout the country, and medical and health facilities have been continuously improved. China has basically solved the health problems of the most populous country in the world. According to the annual report of the World Health Organization, the health level of the people in China is generally in the forefront of developing countries. At the same time, China has formed the most populous modern radio and television network in the world, with a comprehensive population coverage rate of 94%, covering a population of more than 654.38+0.2 billion.
Sports undertakings are thriving and stepping into the ranks of sports powers. The state implements the Outline of the National Fitness Program and the Outline of the Olympic Glory Program. 200 1 China won the right to host the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Realize the centennial Olympic Games and realize the centennial dream. Let the world feel the improvement of China's national soft power. In 2008, China successfully hosted the Olympic Games, and the world cheered for China. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China athletes won 5 1 Gold, 2 1 Silver and 28 Bronze, ranking first in the gold medal list. This year, China athletes won 120 world championships, with 65438+.
Three, sixty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, people's livelihood is well-off.
In the 60 years since the founding of New China, China has solved the problem of food and clothing for1300 million people. In the past 60 years, the number of poor people has decreased from 200 million to more than 20 million, basically achieving a well-off life. According to the figures released by the World Bank, 67% of the achievements made by mankind in poverty reduction in the past 25 years should be attributed to China, which is how much our country has contributed to the new world.
Since the reform and opening up, the income of urban and rural residents has continued to increase. From 1998 to 2007, the per capita disposable income of urban residents increased from 343.4 yuan to 13786 yuan, and the per capita net income of farmers increased from 133.6 yuan to 4 140 yuan. In 2008, the per capita disposable income of urban residents increased 14 yuan. The per capita net income of rural residents increased by 15%, with an actual increase of 8%. With the steady growth of consumption expenditure and the rapid growth of family property, including financial assets, the life of China people has undergone fundamental changes, and it is no longer the traditional lifestyle of "doing things at sunrise and resting at sunset". We can look at the people's well-off life from four aspects: "basic necessities of life".
1. Housing: When the People's Republic of China was founded, the living area of urban residents was small and the facilities were simple. There are big courtyards in the north and pavilions in the south, which are crowded and messy. As the saying goes, "Four generations live under one roof, ten square meters, and five generations live under one roof", there are adobe houses in the north of the countryside, and there are many straw huts in the south, which are dilapidated and in poor sanitary conditions. Since the founding of New China 60 years ago, the living environment has been greatly improved, the living area has been enlarged, and the living conditions have also been greatly improved. Urban residents walked out of the old houses without kitchens, toilets and sewers, moved into new buildings and lived in beautiful living quarters. There are high-rise residential quarters, duplex buildings, garden quarters and single-family villas. Rural areas have developed rapidly. They lived in tile houses in the 1970s and 1980s, buildings in the 1990s and villas in the new century. Modern household appliances such as air conditioners, color TVs, washing machines and refrigerators are readily available. In the 1960s, residents could not live without the old four "watches, sewing machines, radios and bicycles". In the 1980s, it became a color TV, tape recorder, washing machine and motorcycle, and now it is replaced by computers, home theaters, digital cameras and automobiles. As far as Wujiang is concerned, the per capita housing area in 1978 was 9 square meters, and now the per capita housing area has reached 45.5 square meters.
2. OK: Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 60 years ago, the traffic conditions have obviously improved, and the expressway is the main symbol of national modernization. At the end of 2007, China's expressway mileage exceeded 53,600 kilometers, forming an expressway network "connecting the capital and the provincial capital, connecting major cities and covering important counties and cities". In 2008, there were 0/68030 motor vehicles in China and 65438 private motor vehicles. Railway is the main artery of traffic. The Beijing-Kowloon Railway was completed in 1995, spanning nine provinces and cities and connecting Hong Kong and Beijing. The completion of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in 2008 has created several "the best in the world", which is called Tianlu by people in Xizang. The construction of EMUs and high-speed trains has brought convenience to the people. Bus, taxi, subway and light rail, which are closely connected with people's daily life, enjoy life by flying for domestic travel, overseas travel, sightseeing and leisure vacation, and people's activity radius is greatly increased.
3. Food: At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, people lived in poverty and did not have enough to eat, and the problem of food and clothing was not solved in rural areas. Later, the state implemented planned supply and issued various tickets, and grain, cooking oil, poultry, eggs, meat and bean products should be rationed. Since the reform and opening up, we have not only completely solved the problem of food and clothing, but also been able to eat well, balance nutrition, match the thickness and pay attention to green food. In today's extremely rich material life, food markets, supermarkets, hypermarkets and all kinds of foods are available. Food from all over the country can be bought in the big market, while hotels, restaurants, hotels and hot pot cities are springing up, and all kinds of food meet the demand. People's demand for food is getting higher and higher, and an increasingly rich diet and healthy lifestyle have become.
4. Clothes: When the People's Republic of China was founded, people used foreign cloth and coarse cotton cloth to make clothes. They sew at home and seldom buy new clothes. The so-called "new three years, old three years, sewing and sewing", clothes are simple and monotonous. Since the reform and opening up, with the development of the times, families have become rich, people are wearing more and more styles and colors, and the fashion model team has become popular, which has brought about a whirlwind of fashion, a well-off life and ideological emancipation. People's clothing has undergone earth-shaking changes, pursuing changeable personality, and school uniforms, factory clothes, work clothes, sportswear, casual clothes and ceremonial clothes have been constantly refurbished. All kinds of clothing, shoes and hats, clothing brand stores, economic development and technological progress, as well as the application of leather, wool, silk, cotton and other ready-made fabrics, make clothing blossom and become a symbol of improving people's quality of life.
Taking Wujiang as an example, people's quality of life has improved significantly. There are leisure cultural squares and parks, lifelong learning libraries, youth activity centers, Wujiang Gymnasium for fitness, cinemas for enjoying art and the popularity of digital TV. Wujiang is a famous "water city green capital" in the south of the Yangtze River, a national civilized city, a national sanitary city, a national excellent tourist city and also a national excellent tourist city.
Take the countryside as an example. Every village has access to roads and the power grid has been rebuilt. There are post offices, radio and television, primary schools within 3km, middle schools within 8km, nurseries and kindergartens in 47. 1% villages, sports and fitness places in 65.7% villages, and libraries and cultural stations in 34.7% villages. Every 100 rural residents, there are 93.5 color TV sets 147. 1 set, 93.5 telephones, 29.7 computers, 88.6 motorcycles and 0.3 automobiles1set. The per capita living area of farmers is 203 square meters, and 99.35% of the houses have their own houses.
To sum up, the glory of 60 years can not be separated from the leadership of the Party, the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the reform and opening up. To this end, we should love China * * * Production Party, socialism, reform and opening up, people of all ethnic groups and our great motherland even more.
