Socio-economy: Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the consumer goods market has undergone earth-shaking changes, showing the characteristics of sustained and rapid growth of total consumption, leap in the quality of circulation industry, further expansion of circulation scale, accelerated upgrading and transformation of residents' consumption structure, rapid growth of emerging formats and rapid development of accommodation and catering industry. The contribution of trade and catering industry to the economy has also changed from simply contributing GDP to opening up markets, expanding consumption, promoting employment, facilitating life, improving urban functions and optimizing economic structure. It has played a powerful role in promoting the city's national economic development, industrial structure optimization and industrial grade upgrading. The total retail sales of social consumer goods has increased by more than 40 times in the past 30 years. The consumer goods market is full of new vitality, the development speed continues to accelerate, and the market operation is more stable. Gradually formed a new pattern of multi-level, diversified and multi-channel urban and rural markets and a new network and modern circulation system. The coordinated development of urban and rural markets, the continuous expansion of commercial outlets, and the coordinated development of social life in urban and rural markets: the consumption structure has expanded and upgraded, and consumption hotspots have emerged. Since the reform and opening up, the income of urban and rural residents in our city has been greatly improved and their lives have been significantly improved. The consumption structure has undergone three upgrades. The improvement of income level laid the foundation for consumption, and the concept and quality of consumption also changed, which experienced three upgrades of consumption structure. After three consumption upgrades, the Engel's coefficient of the city continues to decline. By 2007, the life of urban and rural residents is moving from food and clothing to a well-off society. First of all, it has promoted the rapid economic development. 1978 from 2006 to 2006, China's GDP increased by 57.8 times, with an average annual growth rate of 9.7%, which was much higher than the average growth rate of the world economy of about 3% in the same period, and its total economic output jumped to the fourth place in the world. Per capita GDP has increased by 42 times. The total import and export volume of goods increased from $20.6 billion in 1978 to $0.76 trillion in 2006, an increase of 85 times, ranking third in the world. China's foreign exchange reserves exceed 1 trillion US dollars, ranking first in the world. The second is to improve people's living standards. From 1978 to 2006, the per capita disposable income of urban households increased by 34 times? The per capita net income of rural families has increased by 27 times. The absolute poverty population has decreased from 250 million to more than 20 million, and the incidence of poverty has decreased from 30% to 3%. The pilot scope of the new rural cooperative medical system has covered more than 400 million farmers. People's life has achieved a historic leap from food and clothing to overall well-off. The third is to enhance comprehensive national strength and international status. In 2003 and 2005, manned spacecraft were successfully launched twice, and in 2007, the "Chang 'e-1" lunar exploration project was successful. Beijing will host the Olympic Games in 2008 and Shanghai will host the World Expo in 20 10. All these are supported by the economic achievements brought about by the reform. 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee made a major decision on reform and opening up, thus opening a new historical period of China's reform and opening up. This undoubtedly became a milestone in the history of China, because it was the reform and opening up that liberated the mind and achieved a historic turning point in the contemporary development of China, thus changing the fate of China and opening up the social transformation. In 2008, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up. China embarked on the road of reform and opening up in 1978. Reform and opening up have stimulated the vitality of all walks of life and made China's productive forces develop continuously. One by one, new cities have sprung up. Made and developed major scientific and technological achievements. Large-scale projects have been completed. Super-large enterprises have developed rapidly. China is tall and strong. For more than 20 years, reform and opening up have been the fundamental driving force for social progress and development in China. Some people in the west think that Deng Xiaoping's "crossing the river by feeling the stones" seems pragmatic, while China's reform and opening up seems to have no clear theoretical guidance, which is completely wrong. Our party attaches great importance to theoretical thinking and is good at summing up practice scientifically. The formation and development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory is not achieved overnight, but a process of repeated practice, repeated exploration, continuous summary, gradual formation and development of laws. Scientific Outlook on Development is a concentrated expression of Marxist world outlook and methodology on development, and a scientific summary of the development of China in the past 30 years of reform and opening up. It is not only a full inheritance of existing scientific theories, but also a scientific summary of China's latest development practice, a full prediction of various possibilities for future development, and an absorption and reference of the development experience of mankind and other countries in the world. In the past 30 years, the people of China have made gratifying achievements. Hong Kong became the territory of the Central Plains from the Qin Dynasty until the defeat of the Qing Dynasty in the middle of the19th century, when it was ceded to Britain in batches and became a colony, thus opening Hong Kong to port development. 1980, China and Britain implemented the future of Hong Kong. 1984 signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which decided that the people of China and China would resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong in July 1997. The wanderer who is far away from his mother's arms finally feels the warmth of his mother's arms. At 22: 00 on July 3, 20001Beijing time, the highly anticipated host city of the 2008 Olympic Games was finally announced at the112nd plenary session of the International Olympic Committee in Moscow. There is only one name in Samaranch's forceful announcement: Beijing! China and Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games with their superior advantages and perfect presentation. June 5438+1October 65438+May 2003, Shenzhou 5 manned spacecraft was successfully launched, and China people's dream of flying for thousands of years was finally realized. This launch is an important achievement in the history of human exploration of space. After Russia and the United States, China became the third country in the world to send humans into space. We have every reason to believe that the people of China, who have become more confident and mature in the reform and opening up, will certainly be able to break through the complicated contradictions in the current social development and make greater achievements in China's modernization drive. I hope it helps you!
