So we must turn to the people-oriented development pattern contained in the outlook on scientific development, which focuses on technical progress and knowledge innovation，and lays stress on the compatibility of economical operation and hominine integrated development. We can realize the transformation of development pattern from material-oriented to people-oriented by adjusting economic structure, enlarging consumption demand and innovating system and mechanism.
