Since the "Belt and Road" initiative was proposed, it has been like a strong spring breeze blowing through all countries and regions along the route, bringing earth-shaking positive changes to the lives of ordinary people, and allowing happiness to bloom quietly in ordinary days.

Employment opportunities are "large-expanded", and jobs are more stable. The "Belt and Road" project is like a huge "engine" of employment, operating at high speed in areas such as infrastructure construction and industrial cooperation, creating massive opportunities for the domestic and foreign employment markets. Over the past decade, cooperation in jointly building the "Belt and Road" has driven nearly one trillion US dollars in investment, and projects have taken root one by one, driving the vigorous development of upstream and downstream industries and creating 420,000 jobs. From domestic construction workers and technicians to local workers in countries along the route, they have found their own "rice bowl" in this wave of development. At port construction sites in Southeast Asia, Chinese engineers and local workers fought side by side to contribute to the prosperity of the port; along the African railway line, Chinese and African employees worked together to lay the "track" of development, so that the hope of employment will grow on every inch of land.

The income level is "higher and higher", and life is getting better and better. With the steady progress of the "Belt and Road" project, domestic and foreign trade exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, the regional economic development level has significantly improved, and the income of ordinary people has also risen. Taking Burundi as an example, the promotion of hybrid rice cultivation technology is like a "golden key", opening the door to increase farmers' income and increasing farmers' income by US$9.1 million. In the central and western regions of China, many companies have used the east wind of the "Belt and Road" to expand overseas markets, and their employees' wages and benefits have also increased. The increase in income has enabled the people to improve their lives, buy better goods, enjoy better services, and make their lives more and more enjoyable.

Living conditions are "renewed", and the happiness index goes upwards to the "Belt and Road" to promote the construction of infrastructure such as transportation, energy, and communications in countries and regions along the route, just like "upgrading" the lives of the people. The Cabinda water supply project in Angola has allowed 600,000 local residents to drink "safe water", ensuring uninterrupted supply of tap water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the past, residents had to go a long way to get water. Now, clear tap water flows into thousands of households. Children can wash their hands and faces at any time, and the elderly no longer have to worry about lack of water. In the field of energy, the construction of power projects has enabled many remote areas to use stable electricity, and the night is no longer dark, electrical equipment can be used normally, and life has become more convenient.

Travel convenience has been "greatly improved" and the world has become "smaller". The construction of transportation infrastructure is an important achievement of the "Belt and Road". It has strengthened international connectivity and made people's travel easier. The China-Laos Railway broke through the barriers of heavy mountains and was like a steel dragon shuttled between mountains and rivers, allowing the Lao people to realize the "railroad dream" and facilitate personnel exchanges and trade exchanges between China and Laos. The Mombasa-Nairobi Railway promotes regional economic and trade development, injecting strong impetus into Kenya's economic growth. The first phase of Qiankai Port project shortens the sea transportation time from Peru to China from nearly 40 days to 23 days, which not only saves logistics costs, but also makes personnel exchanges more frequent. Nowadays, people can go abroad more easily, see the outside world, and experience the customs and customs of different countries.

The consumption choices are "richer", and the shopping experience is more satisfying. The "Belt and Road" has promoted international trade exchanges, making the types of goods in the market more abundant and the prices are more reasonable. Electronic products, fashion clothing, etc. in Southeast Asia are more likely to enter the Chinese market with the development of the economy, providing consumers with more choices. In Chinese supermarkets, there are a wide range of specialty products from all over the world, from Thai fruits to European cosmetics, from African handicrafts to American foods, consumers can choose from. At the same time, the convenience of trade also reduces the cost of goods, allowing the people to buy their favorite goods at a more affordable price.

Cultural exchanges "promote integration", and the spiritual distance is closer to the "Belt and Road" has driven cultural exchanges in countries and regions along the route, giving ordinary people the opportunity to understand and recognize more cultural traditions and customs and improve their cultural literacy. Through cultural year, art exhibitions and other activities, various countries have enhanced mutual understanding and reduced cultural barriers. In Chinese cities, you can often see art groups from different countries performing, allowing people to feel the charm of exotic culture. At the same time, China's traditional culture has also gone to the world through the "Belt and Road" initiative, allowing more people to understand and love China. Cultural exchange is like a bridge connecting the hearts of people in different countries and making the world more harmonious and beautiful.

The "Belt and Road" initiative has truly changed the lives of ordinary people. It brings not only material richness, but also spiritual satisfaction. Let us work together to create a better future along the happy road of the "Belt and Road".
