3. the new goal of promoting social construction at a new starting point

In the face of the new situation of social construction in the new era, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made systematic arrangements for promoting social construction, emphasizing that “we must always put the interests of the people in the supreme position, so that the results of reform and development can benefit all the people more and more equitably, and continue to move forward towards realizing the common prosperity of all the people”; a more fulfilling, secure and sustainable sense of security.”1

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also put forward a more long-term goal pursuit for promoting social construction in the “two-step” strategic arrangement of building a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way. In the strategic deployment of basically realizing socialist modernization from 2020 to 2035, it is clearly proposed that by 2035, the rule of law society will be basically completed and the degree of social civilization will reach a new height; The people’s living standards have become more prosperous, the proportion of middle-income groups has increased significantly; the gap between urban and rural development and residents' living standards has been significantly narrowed, the equalization of basic public services has been basically realized, and the common prosperity of all the people has taken solid steps. The governance pattern of modern society has basically taken shape, and the society is full of vitality and harmony and order. In the strategic plan of building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist power from 2035 to the middle of this century, it is clearly proposed that by the middle of this century, material, political, spiritual, social and ecological civilizations will be comprehensively improved, the national governance system and governance capacity will be modernized, the common prosperity of all the people will be basically realized, and the Chinese people will enjoy a happier and healthier life. The task goal of social construction at a new starting point established by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China demonstrates the Party’s strong historical responsibility and the Party’s ambition to promote China’s social progress.

To achieve such a task goal, we must always adhere to the principled position of putting the interests of the people first. Seeking happiness for the people is the original intention of the Party, and leading the people to create a better life is the fundamental focus of the Party in promoting social construction. Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out: “The Communist Party seeks happiness for the people, and wherever the people feel unhappy, unhappy and dissatisfied, we will work hard in every possible way to solve problems for the masses.“1 It is necessary to seek more benefits for the people’s livelihood and relieve more worries about the people’s livelihood, make up for the shortcomings of the people’s livelihood in the process of development, promote social fairness and justice, and continuously make new progress in providing education for the young, learning and teaching, earning income from hard work, treating the sick, providing for the elderly, housing and housing, and supporting the weak, so as to ensure that all the people have a greater sense of gain in joint construction and shared development, and constantly promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all the people. To achieve such mission goals, we must unswervingly promote fairness and justice. Fairness and justice are intrinsic requirements of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The prominent problem of social injustice will inevitably directly cause or aggravate social contradictions, and even cause social crises, leaving society in a state of instability.

Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out: “The central government comprehensively examined and scientifically analyzed the current situation and situation of China’s economic and social development, and believes that if this problem is not solved urgently, it will not only affect the people’s confidence in reform and opening up, but also affect social harmony and stability.“1 We must intensify reform, take the promotion of social fairness and justice and the improvement of people’s well-being as a mirror, examine various institutional mechanisms and policy regulations, and promote reform wherever there are problems that do not conform to social fairness and justice; Through innovative institutional arrangements, efforts should be made to overcome violations of fairness and justice caused by human factors, create a fair and just social environment, and make real progress in promoting equal rights, fair opportunities, and fair rules. To achieve such a task goal, we must focus on forming effective social governance and good social order. This is an important aspect of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and it is also an urgent task to promote reform and development and maintain social and political stability. It is necessary to deeply study the phased characteristics of China’s social transformation period, deeply study the law of modern social governance, broaden work ideas, improve institutional mechanisms, and continuously improve the scientific level of social governance. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of the social governance system, improve the social governance system under the leadership of the party committee, the government is responsible, social coordination, public participation, and the guarantee of the rule of law, strengthen the construction of mechanisms for preventing and resolving social conflicts, accelerate the construction of the social security prevention and control system, strengthen the construction of the social psychological service system, strengthen the construction of the community governance system, promote the focus of social governance to the grassroots level, give play to the role of social organizations, realize the benign interaction between government governance and social regulation and residents’ autonomy, ensure that the society is both vibrant and harmonious and orderly, and ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country. The people live and work in peace and contentment.
