中央電視臺記者：近年來您已經(jīng)有很多次提起要促進社會的公平正義，但是現(xiàn)在社會上一些不公平的現(xiàn)象仍然是老百姓關(guān)注的焦點。請問您在任期之內(nèi)還會做哪些工作進一步促進社會的公平正義？另外，我們知道您常常會上網(wǎng)，在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上您可以看到網(wǎng)民對政府工作、對您本人的肯定和贊揚，但是也會有“拍磚”的，您怎么看待這些批評的聲音？

溫家寶：我曾經(jīng)說過，公平正義比太陽還光輝。公平正義是社會主義的本質(zhì)特征。實事求是地講，9年來，我們?yōu)閷崿F(xiàn)社會的公平正義做了大量不可磨滅的工作。

首先，在法律上，我們通過修改憲法，將尊重和保障人權(quán)寫入憲法。我們制定了物權(quán)法，使合法的私有財產(chǎn)得到法律保護。我們修改了選舉法，使城鄉(xiāng)選民具有平等的權(quán)利。我們廢除了收容遣送條例，使農(nóng)民自由進城務(wù)工。在短短的幾年，中國城市化率超過50%。

其次，在農(nóng)村，我們堅決地取消了農(nóng)業(yè)稅，減輕了農(nóng)民的不合理負(fù)擔(dān)。

第三，在教育上，我們實行了九年免費義務(wù)制教育。對農(nóng)村的孩子上職業(yè)學(xué)校實行免費，同時對大學(xué)和農(nóng)村高中階段的教育實行獎助學(xué)金制度，對困難地區(qū)農(nóng)村寄宿制學(xué)校給予補貼。

第四，我們建立和完善了包括養(yǎng)老、失業(yè)、醫(yī)療、低保在內(nèi)的社會保障體系。企業(yè)職工醫(yī)療保險、城市居民醫(yī)療保險和新農(nóng)合已經(jīng)覆蓋13億人口。

這些都是我們社會朝著公平正義邁出了具有制度性的一步。當(dāng)然，我深知，社會分配不公以及司法不公還引起群眾的不滿。我們必須繼續(xù)推進促進社會公平的各項工作。

在我任職的最后一年，我們政府將做幾件困難的事情，一定要做，努力做好，而不留給后人。

第一件事情，就是要制定收入分配體制改革的總體方案。第二件事情，就是要制定并出臺農(nóng)村集體土地征收補償條例，真正保障農(nóng)民承包地的財產(chǎn)權(quán)。第三件事情，實現(xiàn)城鄉(xiāng)養(yǎng)老保險的全覆蓋。第四件事情，按照新的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)全面推進集中連片的貧困地區(qū)的扶貧工作。第五件事情，我們已經(jīng)將教育經(jīng)費占GDP的4%列入預(yù)算，我們一定要通過努力實現(xiàn)這個目標(biāo)，并使經(jīng)費合理使用。謝謝你。

政府的一切權(quán)力都是人民賦予的，我們應(yīng)該創(chuàng)造條件讓人民提出意見批評政府。因此，在網(wǎng)上聽到有“拍磚”的聲音，我并不感到奇怪，我以為這是正常的事情。群眾許多批評的意見值得我們深思，而政府重視和決定的許多重大問題，經(jīng)常是從群眾“拍磚”里頭得到的。

我甚至考慮，把一些經(jīng)常批評政府的代表人士請到中南海，面對面地聽取他們意見。如果你們注意的話，在今年政府工作報告聽取意見的安排中，我們已經(jīng)嘗試做了，但還很不夠。

在我擔(dān)任總理期間，確實謠諑不斷，我雖然不為所動，但是心里也不免感到有些痛苦。這種痛苦不是信而見疑、忠而被謗的痛苦，而是我獨立的人格不為人們所理解，我對社會感到有點憂慮。我將堅持人言不足恤的勇氣，義無反顧地繼續(xù)奮斗。

CCTV: You have said on many occasions that social equity and fairness should be promoted. Yet lack of fairness is still the focus of public attention. I would like to ask you what steps you will take during the remainder of your term of office to promote social fairness and justice. We know that you often log onto the Internet. There have been a lot of comments on the Internet on the work of the government and you yourself. There are both positive and critical comments. How do you see the criticism?

Wen Jiabao: I have said before that equity and justice shine more brightly than the sun. Equity and justice are the defining features of socialism. As a matter of fact, over the past nine years, the government has put a large amount of effort in promoting social equity and justice and these efforts should be fully recognized.

On the legal front, we have amended the Chinese Constitution and that the State respects and protects human rights has been incorporated into the Constitution. We have formulated the property law to protect lawful private assets. We have amended the election law to ensure equal rights of rural and urban voters. We have abolished the regulations on internment and repatriation, giving farmers freedom of movement to work in cities. In a short span of several years, the urbanization rate in China has exceeded 50 percent.

Second, in the rural areas, we have abolished the agricultural tax to ease the burden on farmers.

Third, as far as education is concerned, we have made nine-year compulsory education free and universally available. We have exempted tuition fees for rural students engaged in vocational education. We have provided scholarships and financial aid for college education and senior middle school education in rural areas. We have provided subsidies for students of rural boarding schools in poor areas.

Fourth, we have established and improved the social security system that covers old-age support, unemployment insurance, medical insurance and subsistence allowance. The programs of medical insurance for both working and non-working urban residents and the new rural cooperative medical care scheme now cover all the 1.3 billion people in China.

These are institutional arrangements we have made to promote social equity and justice. I am fully aware that the people are still complaining about income disparities, judicial unfairness and other problems. We must continue to do a conscientious job in promoting social equity and justice.

In my last year in office, the government plans to take on some tough tasks. We are determined to accomplish these tasks rather than pass the problems to the next government.

First, we will formulate an overall plan for the reform of the income distribution system. Second, we will formulate and introduce regulations on the expropriation and compensation of collectively owned rural land so as to ensure farmers' property right conferred by the law. Third, we will extend the coverage of old-age insurance to the entire Chinese population. Fourth, on the basis of the newly set poverty standard, we will press ahead with the work of poverty alleviation in contiguous areas with particular difficulties. And fifth, the government has arranged its budget to meet the target of raising the share of government expenditure on education to 4 percent of the GDP. We must make every effort to meet this target and ensure that the money is wisely spent.

All the power of the government comes from the people. The government should create conditions for the people to make their views and criticism about the government heard. I don't feel surprised that there have been critical comments on the Internet about the performance of the government and I think it is only natural for that to happen. The government must seriously reflect on the critical views that the people have made. As a matter of fact, the government has gained much food for thought from those critical comments of the public on the Internet while taking decisions on major issues.

I have thought about inviting representatives of people who on a regular basis make critical comments about the government to Zhongnanhai so that we can hear their views face-to-face. If you have followed the news coverage about my soliciting views from the public on the government work report this year, you may have found out that such arrangement has been made. But I think it is far from enough.

During my term of office as the premier, there have been some slanders about me. I have not allowed myself to be disturbed by those slanders. But still they have caused some pain. Not the pain because a man of integrity and loyalty has been questioned and wronged, but because my independent character has not won people's understanding and that has made me feel a bit worried about society. I will continue to press ahead with my work without hesitation and misgivings and with the courage that one should not fear the rumors and slanders from others.
