Hundreds of millions of other workers outside of the spotlight have also made their own contributions. In Wuhan City and Hubei Province, the people have carried on with fortitude and resilience, while people from all sectors of society and our fellow compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan and overseas have made generous donations, both monetary and in-kind.

"As a developing country with 1.4 billion people, it is only by overcoming enormous difficulties that China has been able to contain COVID-19 in such a short time while also ensuring our people's basic needs. Our success has come at a great price. The economy posted negative growth in the first quarter of this year, and daily life and work have been greatly affected. However, life is invaluable. This is a price we must pay, and a price worth paying."

The Chinese nation has stood together and built a Great Wall of solidarity against COVID-19, said Chinese Premier Li Keqiang while delivering the government work report at the third session of the 13th National People's Congress (NPC) Friday.
Since the epidemic outbreak, the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has made its containment the top priority. CPC General Secretary Xi Jinping, putting the health and safety of the people before everything else, has personally taken charge of and planned the response, said Li.
"Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the central leading group for COVID-19 response has made timely decisions and plans, the central guidance group has provided effective guidance and supervision, and the State Council inter-departmental task force has coordinated the response efforts. All local authorities and all government departments have fulfilled their respective duties, and people from every walk of life have given their full support. Together, we have waged an all-out people's war against the virus," said Li.
He said the Chinese nation has built a Great Wall of solidarity against the epidemic with people from all walks of life contributing their part.
"Our medical workers have fought with courage. Our servicemen and women have shouldered heavy responsibilities. Our scientists and researchers have joined forces in order to find a cure. Our community workers, policemen and women, officials working at the primary level, media personnel, and volunteers have stood fast at their posts. Our deliverymen and women, our sanitation workers, and all who make and transport emergency supplies have continued their work with dedication. Hundreds of millions of other workers outside of the spotlight have also made their own contributions.

Through all these efforts, we, all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, have stood together in the most trying of times and built a Great Wall of solidarity against the epidemic," said Li.
He said China has achieved a decisive victory in the battle to defend Hubei Province and its capital city Wuhan by firmly implementing strict control measures, rallying the support of the entire country, dispatching over 40,000 doctors and nurses, rapidly increasing the number of hospital beds, and ensuring the availability of medical supplies.
Li said China continuously refined diagnostic and treatment plans and spared no efforts in the treatment of patients, thus maximizing the cure rate and minimizing the mortality rate.
"As a developing country with 1.4 billion people, it is only by overcoming enormous difficulties that China has been able to contain COVID-19 in such a short time while also ensuring our people's basic needs. Our success has come at a great price. The economy posted negative growth in the first quarter of this year, and daily life and work have been greatly affected. However, life is invaluable. This is a price we must pay, and a price worth paying," he said.
The premier said the country has made intensive efforts to develop drugs, vaccines, and testing reagents, while providing increased support for Chinese citizens overseas.
With an open, transparent, and responsible attitude, China has also actively engaged in international cooperation, providing timely information, actively sharing prevention technologies and practices, and helping other countries with their response efforts, said the premier.
Regarding resuming work and production amid epidemic control, Li said relevant policies have benefited hundreds of millions of people, and ensured stable supplies and prices and the resumption of work and production in a timely and effective way, noting that the Chinese economy has shown great resilience and enormous potential.
Xi Jinping and other Chinese leaders attended the opening meeting of the third session of the 13th National People's Congress, held at the Great Hall of the People.
