Sanming

Put into the fabric of everyday life, the macro-level planning comes down to the alluring smell of daily meals, the lively sound of children reading aloud at community schools, senior canteens right at residents' doorsteps, and the fully furnished long-term rental apartments that are ready for moving.

What matters most to the entire nation is also found in the small things that matter to ordinary individuals People's needs have always been practical and specific From planning with the big picture in mind to making progress in the smallest details The interplay between the big and the small demonstrates a commitment to serving the people by continuously turning the fruits of development into a better quality of life In the spring of 2026, Sanming City in eastern China's Fujian province was lush and green, bursting with the colours of spring.

At 9am in the health education room at Sha Xian General Hospital in Sanming, 67-year-old Ms Zhu took out her phone, skillfully opened a WeChat mini-program and showed her blood sugar curve for the week to her health manager Le Lijuan.

Xiao Le, look, my post-meal glucose reading was 6.8 and my morning fasting level was 5.3. I'm pretty much graduating from blood sugar worries, am I not? She asked with a smile.

Three months earlier, however, Ms. Zhu had been in a very different situation.

To ease Ms. Zhu's anxiety, a specialist physician adjusted her medication regimen, while a traditional Chinese medicine doctor taught her to soak her feet in warm water and massage pressure relief acupoints every day.

Last but not least, a health management specialist taught her how to use a continuous glucose monitor, turning her attention from what can't I eat into how can I eat more healthily.

In Sanming City, more and more patients like Ms. Zhu now have their own health managing team.
