This year, Zou started serving as a deputy to the National People's Congress, the top legislature. His first legislative proposal was, not surprisingly, about deepening construction labor reforms.
Poverty reduction is another milestone. In the past six years, about 70 million rural people had been lifted over the poverty line.
William Jones, Washington bureau chief of the Executive Intelligence Review news magazine, said ending poverty had long been regarded a major task for humanity but until recently, was seen as a Utopian dream.
"With China, that dream is now becoming a reality," he said.
Under Xi's lead, China's social security network has expanded, with the basic medical insurance covering 1.3 billion people and the social old-age insurance covering more than 900 million.
This summer, a domestic film shot up to box office stardom. "Dying to Survive" tells a fictional story of a shopkeeper who illegally imports cheap Indian drugs and sells them to cancer patients in China.
The blockbuster touched a public sore point of costly drugs. But fortunately, the issue is being addressed.
Policies have been introduced to exempt import tariffs on many cancer drugs, and efforts are on-going to bring more life-saving medicines into the medical insurance program.
Xi's reform also aims to nurture a great environment to conduct business.
The World Bank Group said in its annual "Doing Business Report" that China advanced to a global ranking of the 46th this year, up from the 78th last year, as the country implemented the largest number of reforms in the East Asia and Pacific region.
