Reporter: General Secretary Xi Jinping made the remarks while visiting members from the agricultural industry, social welfare and social security sectors attending the 5th session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in Beijing, on March 6, 2022. How do you feel about the General Secretary’s speech?
Gong Puguang: As a “senior civil affairs servant”, I worked in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and works in NPC Social Construction Committee for the time being, deeply moved by what General Secretary stressed, that is, we should pay special attention to, care for and show concern to people in need and help them solve their problems. What inspired and affected me is his deep affection for the needy people and his infinite concern to them. Besides, I begin to feel that I have a heavier burden and greater responsibility on my shoulders.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally planned and directed the major strategy of poverty alleviation, which achieved decisive victory last year and eliminated absolute poverty in a historic way. But relative poverty and helping the socially disadvantaged will remain a long-term task. In this important speech, the General Secretary once again made clear requirements to the whole Party and organizations at all levels throughout the country. We should make great concern for the disadvantaged groups highlighted by the General Secretary will be a major political task in the post-poverty alleviation era and we will make unremitting efforts to achieve solid and detailed results.
Reporter: In your opinion, what will be the focus of our work to implement the guiding principles of the General Secretary’s speech?
Gong Puguang: In my view, it is of great importance to focus on the following three aspects for the time being.
First, We will continue to implement the “good policies, good measures, good experience and good practices” in poverty alleviation in strict accordance with the requirements of the central government,. We will ensure that poverty alleviation does not take place on a large scale and new poverty cases are solved in a timely and appropriate manner.
Second, We worked hard to improve and better the reform of the social assistance system in strict accordance with the General Secretary's requirements. In 2020, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Reforming and Improving the Social Assistance System, which is an important guiding document for building a social assistance structure in the new era. On the one hand, we need to fully implement the spirit of the central document, and build a comprehensive, proactive, accurate, efficient, warm and timely “great relief” system. On the other hand, we should speed up the legislative process of the Social Assistance Law to provide a solid and reliable legal guarantee for our social assistance work. In 2018, the 13th session of the standing committee of the National People’s Congress will be included in the legislation for five years under the social relief act of a class project under the guidance of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Finance, social rescue legislation work is carrying out orderly, our social construction committee of National People’s Congress will continue to actively coordinate the legislative work, provide strong support for social relief work in accordance with law.
Third, We will pay special attention to urban groups with special financial difficulties in strict accordance with the General Secretary’s requirements. On our new journey to fully build a modern socialist country, we must ensure that we won’t ignore a single poor rural or urban person. We must also strengthen our care and care for the disabled, the elderly, children, women and other groups with special difficulties. For urban citizen in difficulties and special difficulty, we will timely offer all kinds of relief fund, improve all kinds of relief measures and strengthen the temporary assistance to strengthen development of poverty engines results, promoting the cause of common prosperity.
