Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Jiang Lin and Peng Yunjia

Pensions for retired employees will usher in "18 consecutive rises", and reimbursement for medical treatment in other places will be more convenient, and pilot projects for occupational injury protection for flexible employees such as take-away riders will be carried out …

Social security concerns thousands of families. This year, our social security will usher in many new changes.

Change 1: How much does the retirement pension increase? Have the answer before the end of June.

This year’s government work report proposes to appropriately raise the basic pension standards for retirees and urban and rural residents to ensure timely and full payment. This means that the pensions of retired employees will usher in "18 consecutive rises" and the pensions of urban and rural residents will also be improved.

In terms of employee pension insurance, the pension benefits were raised in 2021, which benefited 127 million retirees. How will it rise in 2022? How much is it going up? The "Opinions on Implementing the Division of Key Work in the Government Work Report" recently issued by the State Council requires that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance take the lead and issue relevant policies before the end of June.

"Insist on improving people’s livelihood in development, not only do your best, but also do what you can." Zheng Gongcheng, president of China Social Security Society, said that in 2022, China will also promote the national overall planning of old-age insurance, and the funds will help each other across the country, so that the pension payment in difficult areas will be more secure.

In terms of endowment insurance for urban and rural residents, in the past year, 17 provinces and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps raised the basic pension for urban and rural residents, benefiting more than 78 million elderly people, most of whom were rural residents.

This year, in addition to raising the national basic pension standard determined by the central government, up to now, seven provinces including Fujian, Jiangsu, Hainan, Xizang, Ningxia, Guizhou and Shanxi have announced the provincial-level basic pension raising plan for urban and rural residential insurance. Sichuan and other provinces have also made it clear that it will be raised during the year.

Change 2: How to promote the direct settlement of cross-provincial medical treatment? Announced before the end of June

According to the requirements, improve the direct settlement method for medical treatment across provinces and different places, and introduce relevant policies before the end of June. It will undoubtedly be the direction of policy to make it easier for people to go through the reimbursement procedures for medical treatment in different places.

At present, the inter-provincial direct settlement of hospitalization expenses has covered all provinces, all overall planning areas, all kinds of insured persons and main out-going personnel.

The coverage of inter-provincial direct settlement of outpatient expenses has been further expanded. There are 826 designated medical institutions in 63 co-ordination areas across the country, and pilot projects have been launched to directly settle the treatment expenses related to five outpatient chronic and special diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for malignant tumors, uremia dialysis and anti-rejection treatment after organ transplantation.

By the end of February this year, 49,200 designated medical institutions and 89,800 designated retail pharmacies had been directly settled across provinces.

According to Long Xuewen, the person in charge of the Medical Insurance Management Center of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, the pilot areas will be guided to speed up the transformation of information systems, expand the pilot scope of cross-provincial direct settlement of outpatient chronic and special diseases, and promote the online and offline settlement of hospitalization and outpatient expenses by classification.

Previously, the State Council requested that there should be at least one designated medical institution in each county before the end of 2022, which can provide inter-provincial direct settlement services for medical expenses, including outpatient expenses.

Change 3: How to invest personal pension? Clear before the end of April

Developing a multi-level and multi-pillar endowment insurance system is an important measure to actively cope with the aging population and realize the sustainable development of the endowment insurance system.

In China, the basic old-age insurance system as the first pillar is basically sound; As the second pillar, the enterprise annuity and occupational annuity systems have been initially established and gradually improved; However, the development of the third pillar is not standardized, especially the individual pension system has not yet been introduced, which makes residents lack the pension investment channels to obtain more stable and greater benefits.

According to the deployment, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Finance and China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission will take the lead in the work of "continuing to standardize the development of the third pillar endowment insurance", and relevant policies will be issued before the end of April.

According to the reporter’s understanding, the top-level design has been made clear at present, and the third pillar includes two parts: personal savings endowment insurance and commercial endowment insurance, all of which are voluntarily participated by individuals. Among them, the design of tax policy and preferential strength are the key factors.

The Opinions on Promoting the Development of Personal Pension was reviewed and approved by the Central Committee for Deep Reform in December 2021. "After the document is issued, our department will work with relevant departments to formulate supporting policies to promote the implementation of the system and provide a better institutional guarantee for the people’s pension." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said.

According to industry insiders, there are two main tasks. First, establish a personal pension system supported by taxation and other policies, and plan to adopt a personal account system to provide more institutional options for workers participating in basic old-age insurance to accumulate personal pensions. The second is to standardize the development of personal commercial pension financial products and operate and supervise them in accordance with market rules. The two support each other and jointly promote the development of the third pillar.

Change 4: When will the scope of national medical insurance drugs be unified? Completed before the end of December.

Led by the National Medical Insurance Bureau, the related work of basically unifying the scope of medical insurance drugs in China will be completed by the end of December. This indicates that the national basic unified medical insurance drug list is coming soon, and the chemical drugs and proprietary Chinese medicines included in the basic medical insurance payment scope will be basically the same.

According to the opinion of deepening the reform of the medical security system, it is required to "reasonably divide the responsibilities and authority of the central and local catalogues, and each region shall not make its own catalogue or adjust the limited payment scope of medical insurance drugs".

Previously, the National Medical Insurance Bureau has issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of Medication for Basic Medical Insurance, continuously promoting the digestion of supplementary drugs at the provincial level, and laying a good foundation for unifying the scope of medication for basic medical insurance in the country and standardizing the medical insurance payment policy.

The reporter learned from relevant departments that on the basis of unification, the state will further establish and improve the regulation and index system of medical insurance drug list, and timely include drugs with high clinical value, obvious benefits for patients and excellent economic evaluation into the scope of medical insurance payment according to procedures, so as to provide more new drugs and good drugs for the people.

Since the establishment of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, the national medical insurance drug list has been adjusted for four consecutive years. A total of 507 drugs have been added to the national medical insurance payment scope, and a number of "magic drugs" and "zombie drugs" have been transferred out of the list. More than 40 kinds of drugs for rare diseases listed in China have been included in the national medical insurance drug list.

Change 5: How to protect occupational injury protection? Continue to advance during the year.

Occupational injury protection is a "new type of industrial injury insurance" created for take-away riders and network car drivers. The Opinions on Implementing the Division of Key Work in the Government Work Report proposes to strengthen flexible employment services, improve the social security policy for flexible employment, and carry out the pilot project of occupational injury protection for new employment forms, which will be continuously promoted during the year.

Due to the lack of stable labor relations, it is often difficult for new employment forms to obtain work-related injury insurance protection. However, with the promotion of relevant policies, the new employment forms of employees in pilot cities and related platforms this year will fill the shortcomings of occupational injury protection.

Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan, said recently that Meituan will actively participate in the pilot project of occupational injury protection under the guidance of policies, ensure that the pilot project is carried out according to the planned schedule, and will pay all the expenses of participating riders.

"At present, Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan and other provinces have begun to carry out pilot preparations for occupational injury protection in the travel, take-away, instant delivery and freight transportation industries in the same city." Zhang Chenggang, director of the New Employment Form Research Center in China, capital university of economics and business, said that with the establishment of a national unified information platform, the pilot project of occupational injury protection will officially land, and explore experience and accumulate data for later promotion throughout the country.

What situations can occupational injury protection cover? How about compensation? According to industry insiders, occupational injury protection is paid by platform enterprises, and employees do not pay. The scope and situation of its protection and the standard and level of treatment are consistent with the industrial injury insurance as a whole.

　　This is a touching scene in flood control and disaster relief. On August 3rd, in Jingya Middle School, Diaowo Town, Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province, firefighters and rescuers drove rubber boats here to rescue the trapped people. Because the height difference between the platform of the window on the second floor and the rescue boat was more than one meter, most of the trapped people were old people and children. Cao Boyuan, a firefighter involved in the rescue mission, crouched half-way, grabbed the platform with his hands, took his shoulders as a ladder and his back as a bridge, and built a life-saving passage with his own body to let the trapped people step on his shoulders and board the boat. In the past few days, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other places and relevant departments have made every effort to carry out flood control and disaster relief work, and rescue forces from all sides are racing against time to rescue.

　　Flood control and disaster relief are related to the safety of people’s lives and property, food security, economic security, social security and national security. It is very important to do a good job in flood control and disaster relief. During an inspection tour in Jiangsu, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "all localities and departments should base themselves on preventing floods, fighting droughts and saving major disasters, adhere to the people first, putting life first, and be responsible, responsible and conscientious in defending the soil"; During his inspection tour in Sichuan, the general secretary emphasized that "the main responsibility of flood control and disaster relief should be fully implemented"; Recently, the General Secretary made important instructions on flood control and disaster relief work, demanding "to fully protect people’s lives and property safety and overall social stability" … … A series of important instructions have pointed out the direction for flood control and disaster relief.

　　Flood control and disaster relief is a big test, which tests the disaster prevention and relief system and emergency management ability, and tests the feelings and responsibilities for the people. "There are more than 20 villages lost in front, and the people are waiting for us to enter." This is the firm determination of a people’s army to overcome all difficulties. "As party member, I must stand up", which is a solemn oath of a young Communist party member. "To ensure the life, health and safety of the affected people, there is no room for carelessness", which is the unchanging belief of a grassroots doctor to protect health. Emergency rescue is related to the safety of the masses, and we can’t wait or slow down. Adhering to the people first and life first means trying every means to create all conditions, eliminate all difficulties and ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.

　　The people’s interests are above everything else, and the responsibility for flood control is more important than Mount Tai. At present, it is the most vigorous stage of "seven downs and eight ups" flood control. The flood in Haihe River basin is flowing to the downstream plain area, with a large number of reservoirs exceeding the flood limit, the opening of flood storage and detention areas has increased, and the rain in Northeast China is still strong. Typhoon Kanu this year has brought strong wind and rain impact to Jiangsu and Zhejiang coastal areas, and the task of flood control and disaster relief is arduous. The more complicated the situation is, the more we must tighten our strings, the more we must maintain a sense of responsibility that we can’t rest assured at all times, enhance the sense of urgency that cannot be delayed, and boost the spirit of taking action. Only by firmly shouldering the responsibility and dealing with the uncertainty of flood with the certainty of various measures can we minimize casualties and property losses. All regions and relevant departments must firmly establish the bottom line thinking and extreme thinking, deal with small probability events with high probability thinking, take the initiative to prevent and resolve risks, strengthen monitoring, forecasting and early warning, strengthen patrol duty, keep a close eye on key parts of flood control, and implement various flood control and disaster relief measures.

　　Recently, due to heavy rainfall, the K396 train was forced to stay near Luopoling Station in Mentougou District, Beijing. In order to give nearly 1,000 passengers the greatest possible care, the residents of Luopoling community took out their home materials to help the trapped passengers without reservation. The story of helping each other through thick and thin has touched countless netizens. If we tighten the string of flood control, make more detailed emergency preparations, and take more concrete responsibility measures, we will not be afraid of the wind and rain, face up to difficulties, unite as one, and unite as one, and we will certainly be able to gather the majestic forces to overcome floods and win the tough battle of flood control and disaster relief.

　　8. It is better for a family to stay together than anything else.

　　For a time, Teresa Teng was really like her hit "Laugh at the sight of you". Her singing career brought her happiness and encouragement, even to her own surprise. It turned out that many dreams in her heart could be fulfilled by singing. She seems to know that her little shoulders can shoulder the money-making skills that her parents can’t, so she tries hard to help her family and improve the plight of the whole family. In fact, the road to music was not so smooth at first, but she was not afraid of hardship and was very resigned.

　　Mother Deng remembers that Coca-Cola in the United States had just entered Taiwan Province, and all of a sudden it set off a hot sale frenzy. Almost every child wanted to drink a bottle to relieve his hunger and satisfy his curiosity. Once they finished singing and were on their way home by bus, Teresa Teng suddenly asked, "Mom, I really want to drink a bottle of Coca-Cola, just one bottle." Perhaps she was used to frugality. Without thinking about it, Deng’s mother immediately said intuitively, "No, that’s a luxury that only rich people can drink." Teresa Teng didn’t say a word. She accepted her fate. She knew that saving a seven-dollar bottle of Coca-Cola would make her family eat better.

　　Deng’s mother came home and spent the night in trouble sleeping. She felt that she was too stingy. The Deng family can live a relatively comfortable life at this time. It is all because of the little girl’s singing and rushing to make such a situation. The mother did not consider satisfying her little desire, but also flatly refused her. What is even more lovely is that the child is not angry at all, nor does it take credit. What else can such a child say to thank her? Early the next morning, Deng’s mother went to buy a dozen Coca-Cola and put it in the refrigerator. She hugged her and said, "You can drink as much as you want!" Teresa Teng was so happy that tears fell down, and immediately shared them with his brother and younger brothers. It can be seen how low her desire is and how simple and honest people are. She was fully happy about this little thing for several months.

　　Teresa Teng has nothing to say about his feelings for his brother and younger brother. Since childhood, the three brothers have loved and protected her very much, and they also vaguely know that this singing sister has the ability to make money that they can’t reach. How extravagant it is to eat eggs when the family is poor! But every morning, when my sister comes back from hanging her throat by the river, my mother will wash a raw egg with warm boiled water to moisten her throat and protect her throat. For a long time, she has the privilege of drinking a cup of egg honey juice with a whole egg every day. Her brothers have never been greedy and protested. They think it is right to be kind to her, because the whole family is her hardest!

　　When Typhoon Gloria ravaged Taiwan Province, Luzhou was badly flooded. At that time, the Deng family lived in the family house at No.109, Zhonglu Village Middle Road. Suddenly, the water jumped to the lintel, and the whole family climbed up the small attic higher from the ground. Deng’s father tried his best to keep the water from rushing in. Deng’s mother was busy packing up what she had, and three brothers were responsible for protecting Teresa Teng. None of the children cried, and the whole family quietly clung to it and stayed together to tide over the crisis. This made her little mind realize that home is the most important thing, and it is better for a family to stay together than anything else. In the future, although she lived abroad, she always tried to get home to be with her family during the Chinese New Year holiday every year, and she spent it happily at home until the Spring Festival before her death.

　　After the flood, every household was waiting for Luzhou Township Office to distribute relief food, and Deng’s father went to help distribute it. Several brothers and sisters just dragged the mud at home, cleaned up the debris and cleaned up the garbage. Mother Deng saw it in her eyes and comforted her in her heart. This accidental accident triggered her desire to buy a better house for her family, and to live higher to avoid flooding. When Teresa Teng’s income was just enough to buy a house, the Deng family bought the first house in Beitou Danfeng Mountain, and the whole family moved out of Luzhou.

　　Mother Deng said that it’s good to have your own house, and the sense of belonging to a home is extremely happy. No matter how late they run to the karaoke bars for a show, the mother and daughter must rush back to their homes and rarely stay out in hotels. Deng’s mother recalled: "In my life, Lijun really had nothing to say to her family, but I, as a mother, never thanked her in person. After she left, I just stayed at home alone and saw that everything in front of me was her shadow, the house she bought, the clothes I wore, the quilt I covered at night and even the cups I used at home were all bought by her, so I especially wanted to say thank you, but she couldn’t hear it.

　　Buying a house, because of its practicality, has become Teresa Teng’s natural introduction to financial management. She doesn’t play stocks or invest in business. When she has enough money, she just buys a house, and she prefers the higher ground. Later, in Stanley, Hong Kong (so that she belongs to the dragon), in Singapore, in Paris, France, in Beverly Hills and Taipei, the houses she bought were all high above the ground, perhaps because of the shadow of the typhoon when she was a child!
