People's Forum: China's fight against the epidemic sets a human rights model

During the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, "people first, life first" has become the biggest consensus of the whole society, highlighting the values of the world's largest ruling party. "The fight against the epidemic is also a 'human rights defense war '." China's national efforts to combat the epidemic fully demonstrate the people-centered concept of human rights.

Judging how much a country respects human rights depends on how much it respects and defends life in the face of crisis. When the new coronary pneumonia epidemic hit, the world saw that General Secretary Xi Jinping personally commanded and deployed, demanding that the people's life safety and physical health be put first; the world saw that the concept of life first runs through, and the cost of treatment is all It is borne by the state, which maximizes the detection rate and cure rate, and minimizes the infection rate and death rate; the world sees that the national counterpart supports Hubei and builds the Huoshenshan Hospital in 10 days, sixteen square-cabin hospitals have been built at an average rate of one and a half a day ...... The philosophy of a Marxist ruling party that puts the people first and life first is evident here, and the efforts of a socialist country to safeguard human rights are condensed here. The mobilization of the party and the state to protect the safety of life further shows that human rights are the organic unity of individual human rights and collective human rights. Only when individual rights are unified with collective rights can human rights be maximized.

It should be noted that an important aspect of measuring the level of civilization and human rights protection of a society is how to treat groups in difficulty. "I 'd like to see the doctor who saved me!" On the afternoon of April 16, 95-year-old Xu Ming came to the Hanyang Branch of Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to thank the doctor who treated him. The doctor replied, "We will not give up any patient!" This detail has the power to reach the hearts of the people, precisely because of the cherishment of the lives of the elderly, it reflects the weight of human rights protection. Not only that, the issuance of relief funds for the needy people, the extension of the implementation period of the public welfare post policy ...... A series of measures to help the needy groups have been introduced and implemented, enhancing the ability of the needy groups to resist risks.

The right to survival and development are the primary basic human rights. The effective protection of the right to survival and the continuous improvement of the quality of life are the premise and foundation for the enjoyment and development of other human rights. While making every effort to combat the epidemic, we should pay more attention to basic livelihood security. During his inspection tour in Wuhan, General Secretary Xi Jinping urged: "Wuhan people like to eat live fish, and they should organize more supplies when conditions permit." The general secretary's words warmed the hearts of the people of Wuhan and conveyed deep feelings of the people. During the prevention and control of the epidemic, from ensuring basic supplies of people's livelihoods, to providing "real money" to help stabilize jobs, to fighting the epidemic and not mistakenly fighting the poor, the prevention and control of the epidemic not only relies on the people, but also focuses on enhancing the well-being of the people, creating the basic conditions for the realization of the rights of the people.

He has established himself, and he has reached the people. China's protection of human rights is more reflected in its efforts to build a community of human destiny. Report the epidemic to WHO as soon as possible, and share the virus gene sequence as soon as possible; as of the end of May, it has shared epidemic prevention and control and diagnosis and treatment plans with 180 countries and more than 10 international and regional organizations around the world, and has successively sent emergency needs. Countries sent medical expert groups to provide emergency assistance to nearly 150 countries and 4 international organizations, every effort is made to facilitate the procurement of scarce medical supplies and equipment by other countries in China ...... While China has won valuable time for the world's fight against the epidemic, it demonstrates the responsibility of a great power and vividly illustrates the valuable spirit of international humanitarianism.

People's happy life is the greatest human rights, and the biggest premise of a happy life is human life and health. China mobilizes the strength of the whole country and does not hesitate to pay a huge price to protect the lives of the people. This is the best interpretation of the protection of human rights. China's fight against the epidemic has not only created a miracle in the history of human infectious disease prevention and control, but also written a glorious chapter in the cause of human rights and promoted the development and progress of the cause of human rights in the world.
