The Spring Festival is coming, and warm currents of care and preferential treatment are surging throughout the north and south of the country. From the families of officers and soldiers in Luotian, Hubei who have made meritorious contributions and received awards, gathering at the "Military Family Home" to share glory, to the "Hundred Family Banquet" held under the wall of meritorious honors in Fuzhou, Jiangxi to celebrate the Chinese New Year together; From providing a "reunion room" for the families of stationed troops in Xiangshan, Zhejiang to warmly comforting the families of border and coastal defense soldiers in Xinzhou, Shanxi... Every heartwarming scene gathers into a warm current, warming the hearts of every beneficiary and allowing them to fully feel the care and preferential treatment of the Party and the government, as well as the respect and reverence of all sectors of society. The beneficiaries of preferential treatment have made important contributions to national defense and national construction. In the era of raging wars, they stood up and defended the dignity of their country and nation; On this peaceful and tranquil day, they selflessly dedicate themselves to safeguarding the peace and happiness of every household. They are ordinary members who stick to their posts and are determined to strengthen the military, military family members who silently support them, and veterans who have taken off their military uniforms but still have their original aspirations... It is because of their dedication and hard work that we can enjoy this hard won beautiful life today. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have always attached great importance to the work of providing preferential treatment, showing political concern and providing preferential treatment. Starting from August 1, 2024, the state will once again raise the standards for pensions and living allowances for special care recipients and other individuals. This is the 20th consecutive year that the country has raised the subsidy standards for special care recipients. This measure demonstrates the country's respect, care, and preferential treatment towards the beneficiaries of preferential treatment. Make soldiers a respected profession in the whole society, and make retired soldiers a respected person in the whole society This is President Xi's earnest instruction, which also points out the direction for the development of preferential treatment work. On the eve of the Spring Festival, various forms of preferential treatment activities have been carried out across the country, delivering daily necessities and New Year's goods to the vast number of preferential treatment recipients, allowing them to feel the joy and warmth of the Spring Festival and share the fruits of social development. This is a high recognition of the past contributions of the beneficiaries and an encouragement for them to continue supporting the national defense cause in the future. The work of preferential treatment is not a one-time event, but a long-term task that requires sustained attention and joint efforts from the whole society. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party and the state have continuously improved and perfected the system of preferential treatment and protection, ensuring that the legitimate rights and interests of preferential treatment recipients are fully protected. At the policy level, the preferential policies have been further improved, and the standards for preferential treatment have gradually increased with the growth of national financial resources. The living standards of preferential treatment recipients have also improved synchronously with social development. At the implementation level, the promotion of preferential policies is gradually strengthening, and the beneficiaries can timely understand and enjoy the benefits brought by relevant policies. At the same time, various regions also pay close attention to listening to the concerns and needs of the beneficiaries and helping them solve practical difficulties. In addition to material care, we should also pay attention to spiritual comfort. The vast number of beneficiaries have made tremendous contributions to the national defense cause, and their spirit is worthy of our learning and promotion. During this Spring Festival, we have seen many places holding various forms of commemorative activities, lectures, etc., vigorously promoting and propagating the struggle stories of meritorious and award-winning officers and soldiers, the revolutionary experiences of veteran soldiers, and promoting the formation of a good trend of respecting soldiers and admiring heroes in the whole society. The Spring Festival is a festival of reunion, a gathering of family affection, and a transmission of love. At this special moment, let us show respect and gratitude, and take practical actions to send more care and warmth to those who silently dedicate themselves to the national defense cause, ensuring that they can all have a happy, peaceful, and warm Spring Festival, let respect bloom in the New Year, and let military and civilian water relations deepen in the new era.
