The development of the internet industry must adhere to the people-centered development philosophy. It is essential to meet the expectations and needs of the people, accelerate the popularization of information services, reduce application costs, and provide the people with accessible, affordable, and high-quality information services, so that hundreds of millions of people can have a greater sense of gain from sharing the fruits of internet development.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Implementing 'Internet + Education,' 'Internet + Healthcare,' 'Internet + Culture,' etc., to promote equalization of basic public services."

In the depths of the Daling Mountains in Sichuan, the sound of children reading fills the mountain villages. With the help of the "Remote Education Poverty Alleviation Action," children in kindergartens are learning Mandarin online through 4K ultra-high-definition television. Inclusive informatization construction has brought the light of the internet to this once impoverished area.

Liu Xiya, a deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the Party committee of Xiejiabawan School in Chongqing, participated in the remote education poverty alleviation in the Daling Mountains. Addressing the issue of weak teaching capabilities in local schools, she promoted cooperation between Xiejiabawan School in Chongqing and the education department of the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan, establishing an online learning platform and providing educational resource support and assistance for teachers and students.

"Today, digitalization is increasingly empowering the inclusiveness, equalization, and high quality of education public services." said Deputy Liu Xiya.

The internet access rate of primary and secondary schools (including teaching points) nationwide has reached 100%, the national remote medical service platform coverage rate at the prefecture-level city has reached 100%, and "smart elderly care" is being widely implemented... High-quality public services are being delivered to wider and more remote areas.

In addition to inclusive informatization construction, the independent construction and sharing of netizens have also helped more people enjoy high-quality public services.

"Perhaps we can't see the world yet, but we can first see the distance in the museum..." On the internet knowledge sharing platform Zhihu, an online project called "Barrier-free Museum: Disabled Community Connection Plan" has been frequently praised.

Zhou Yuan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and founder of Zhihu, introduced that he and his team supported the launch of this project, which has currently started "evaluation" of multiple museums across the country, and will soon bring a detailed barrier-free travel guide for museums.

"Enabling disadvantaged groups to enjoy more public services with the help of the internet, and thus experience a different and wonderful life, is the inherent meaning of building a strong internet." said Committee Member Zhou Yuan.

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "Accelerate the promotion of e-government, and encourage government departments at all levels to break down information barriers and improve service efficiency." Building a strong internet requires reducing the burden on citizens, increasing the flow of information, and solving the problems of difficulty, slowness, and complexity in handling affairs.

"Beep!" With a simple scan, the settlement is complete. After receiving medical treatment at a hospital in Beijing, a patient from Ningbo, Zhejiang, took out their Mobile phone, opened the "medical insurance electronic certificate," and completed the settlement.

Today, the social security card fully supports services such as cross-provincial collection of pensions and direct settlement for cross-provincial medical treatment. In 2023, the electronic social security card served 15.1 billion people.

Having personally participated in this construction process, Ye Miao, a deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Ningbo Municipal HR and Social Security Bureau in Zhejiang Province, has many feelings: "Through the application of the internet and data interconnection, government services have achieved online processing, Mobile processing, and one-stop processing, truly making life more convenient for the masses."

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Using information flow to drive technology flow, capital flow, talent flow, and material flow." In recent years, the integration of digitalization, networking, and intelligence into economic and social development has increasingly benefited the people.

As a representative of this, digital rural construction is in full swing. The level of intelligent agricultural production and networked operation continues to improve, and agricultural products are leaving the countryside through the internet.

Early in the morning, Zhang Zhiju, a deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of the Shucheng County Zhiju Farmer Professional Cooperative in Anhui Province, is operating a drone in the fields, intending to shoot some short videos to promote local agricultural products.

"We have caught up with a good era and blazed new trails." Today, the cooperative's annual product sales amount to millions of yuan, and it has more than 100 members. Speaking of her experience in returning to her hometown to start a business, this post-90s girl has a deep impression of the role of the internet: "Through online live streaming and sales, agricultural products have expanded their sales channels and gained popularity."

Through e-commerce live streaming sales and other methods, Deputy Zhang Zhiju has solved the problem of agricultural and sideline product sales for nearly a thousand households in Shanqi Town and surrounding townships. It is understood that in 2023, the national rural online retail sales reached 2.49 trillion yuan.

Everyone participates in building a strong internet, and everyone shares in the digital life.

On the new journey, striving to create a ubiquitous, intelligent, convenient, and equitable and inclusive digital service system will surely allow the fruits of internet development to better benefit the people, and the deputies and committee members are full of hope.
