Xi Jinping's focus on people's livelihood in the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan
“十五五”开局之年，总书记关心百姓身边这些民生大事
A CCTV news feature republished by NetEase chronicles President Xi Jinping's attention to livelihood issues during 2026, the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan. It details his visits to elderly care facilities in Beijing, a rural home in Shandong, a renovated old neighborhood in Shanghai, and a school in Xiong'an, framing each as evidence of the Party's commitment to 'handling the people's concerns one by one.' The report highlights that livelihood indicators account for the largest share of the 15th Five-Year Plan's targets and cites Xi's statements that 'the people are the country' and 'Chinese-style modernization puts people's welfare first.'

文章采用《时政新闻眼》栏目的典型温情叙事，通过领导人走访的细节（拉家常、关心快递员休息）塑造“人民领袖”形象。高频使用“民生无小事，枝叶总关情”“国之大者”“人民至上、生命至上”等政治修辞，将个体家庭幸福（“每个‘小家’热气腾腾”）与国家发展（“中国这个‘大家’就蒸蒸日上”）绑定。
