Professor Zhu Qing, School of Finance and finance, Renmin University of China: over the past years, the financial sector has continuously increased expenditure on people’s livelihood. Especially with the aging of our population, the demand for people’s livelihood is increasing. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have constantly adjusted the structure of fiscal expenditure and increased the preference for people’s livelihood. Therefore, this also reflects a duty of finance, the people-oriented nature of the country and the people-oriented nature of finance.
