Author: Gong Weibin, Director and Professor of Education of the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China (National School of Administration). The Communist Party of China is a proletarian party with the guiding ideology of Marxist scientific theory. It comes from the people, is rooted in the people, and serves the people. Since the founding of the Party, it has always insisted on building the Party for the public and governing for the people. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put forward the people-first as a valuable historical experience of our party’s 100 years of struggle, which has far-reaching historical significance and great practical significance.
Adhere to the people first is the value pursuit of the Communist Party of China
Seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation is the original aspiration and mission of the Communist Party of China. Upholding the people first is determined by the nature, purpose and original mission of the Party. As early as more than 170 years ago, Marx and Engels pointed out profoundly: “All movements in the past were movements that belonged to a few people or made the interests of a few people. The movement of the proletariat was an independent movement of the vast majority of people and made the interests of the vast majority of people.” The Communist Party of China was born in the crisis of the Chinese nation. In order to save the suffering Chinese people, it overthrew the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism that were under the head of the Chinese people. Under the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Chinese advanced intellectuals risked their lives and established party organizations as tools to realize revolutionary ideals. Countless revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for the cause of the Party and the people, and made great sacrifices for the liberation of the people and the establishment of the new China. The first program of the Party reads: “The revolutionary army must work with the proletariat to overthrow the regime of the capitalist class.” The “Resolution on the Organizational Constitution of the Communist Party” passed by the Second National Congress of the Party emphasized that “all movements of the Party must go deep into the broad masses.” In 1925, Comrade Mao Zedong clearly pointed out: “Why do we need a revolution? In order to liberate the Chinese nation, to realize the rule of the people, and to make the people economic happiness.” In 1944, in the famous speech “Serving the People”, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: “Our team is entirely for the liberating people and works thoroughly for the interests of the people.” The “Constitution of the Communist Party of China” adopted by the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China for the first time determined to serve the people wholeheartedly as the purpose of the Party.
After the founding of New China, in the process of socialist revolution and construction, Comrade Mao Zedong constantly warned all comrades of the Party to care about the sufferings of the people, prevent the Party from being separated from the people and betraying the people, and to regard benefiting the people as the historical mission of the Communist Party of China. After the reform and opening up, our party emphasized that party members and cadres are tools to realize the interests of the people, waiters of the people, and public servants of the people. 19KomiksIn September 1956, Comrade Deng Xiaoping said in his “Report on Amending the Party’s Constitution” at the Eighth National Congress of the Party: “The working class political parties do not regard the people as their own tools, but consciously recognize them.Determining oneself is a tool for the people to complete specific historical tasks in a specific historical period. “Under the new historical conditions of reform and opening up, Comrade Jiang Zemin emphasized: “At any time and under any circumstances, we must adhere to the Party’s mass line, adhere to the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and take the realization of the interests of the people as the starting point and destination of all work. “The important thought of “Three Represents” enriches the nature and connotation of the Party, which represents the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people in China and further enriches and deepens the value position of putting people first. Comrade Hu Jintao demands people-oriented and governing for the people. He pointed out that “people-oriented and governing for the people are the life foundation and essential requirements of the Marxist party”; “people-oriented and governing for the people are the concentrated reflection of the nature and purpose of our Party, and it is also the consistent political propositions and ruling philosophy of our Party. ”
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. Comrade Xi Jinping has pushed the idea of serving the people wholeheartedly to a new realm, put forward the people-centered development idea, and emphasized the adherence to the concept of people first. In his important speech at the 100th week of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out: “The Communist Party of China has always represented the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people, shared weal and woe with the people, and depended on life and death. It has no special interests of its own, and has never represented the interests of any interest groups, any powerful groups, or any privileged class. “At the beginning of his tenure as General Secretary of the Party, he solemnly promised to the whole party and the people of the whole country: “The people’s yearning for a better life is our goal. “Take the people’s yearning for a better life as the goal, and runs through all aspects of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, reflecting the deep people’s feelings and unique theoretical character of this thought. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has successively carried out the Party’s mass line education and practice activities, the theme education of “Never Forget the Original Aspiration and Keep the Mission in Mind”, and the Party History Study and Education, etc. The purpose is to make all comrades of the Party remember and abide by the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly.
Understanding the people’s first is an action guide to unite and lead the masses
The good and bad results of all the Party’s work depends on whether these work can unite the masses and participate in socialist modernization construction and enhance the people’s well-being. In other words, our party must take the people’s first as its action guide to judge the Party’s governing ability and leadership level.
Respect the people’s main bodyKomiks status, correctly handle the relationship between the Party and the people. Comrade Mao Zedong followed the Marxist materialist historical concept and placed the people in an important position in historical development, and pointed out: “The people, only the people, are the driving force for creating world history. “He has had a relationship with the Party and the peopleA series of vivid metaphors compare it to the relationship between fish and water, the relationship between seeds and land, the relationship between friends, the relationship between students and teachers, etc. In Comrade Mao Zedong’s view, all the cadres of the Party, no matter what their work or position they do, are “servants of the people.” Comrade Deng Xiaoping always puts the interests of the people first. He once said affectionately: “I am the son of the Chinese people, and I love my motherland and people with affectionately.” Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out: “The people are the creators of history, and the people are the real heroes. The magnificent history of the development of the Chinese nation is written by the Chinese people! The profound and profound ChinaBabaylanCivilization was created by the Chinese people! The long-lasting spirit of the Chinese nation was cultivated by the Chinese people! The Chinese nation ushered in a great leap from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong, and being strong was made by the Chinese people! “He said emotionally: “The people are the heaven and the people are the earth. If you forget the people and leave the people, we will become water without a source and a tree without roots, and you will accomplish nothing.” “The country is the people, the people are the country, the people are the country, the country is the country, the country is the country, the people are the people, the people are the hearts of the people.” He worked day and night in the public, working for the people, and put the people in the highest position in his heart with the spirit of “I will have no self and live up to the people.” Comrade Xi Jinping warned the whole party to be clear-headed: “In front of the people, we are always primary school students. We must consciously worship the people as our teachers, ask for advice from the capable, and ask for advice from the wise.”
Unite and rely on the people, and draw strength from the people to move forward. The people are the source of strength. During the New Democratic Revolution, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: “What is the real iron wall? It is the masses, and millions of people who sincerely support the revolution.” We must learn from the people and insist on coming from the masses and going to the masses. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: “The masses are the source of our strength, and the mass line and the masses’ views are our heirlooms.” “Our hard work over the past few decades is to unite the people with firm belief and fight for the people’s own interests.” Comrade Deng Xiaoping was very Cinema attaches importance to the exploration and innovation of the grassroots, respects the pioneering spirit of the people, and admits: “The family contracting in rural areas is the right to invent the right of the farmers. Many things in rural reform are created by the grassroots, and we use them to process and improve them as a national guidance.” Comrade Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that we must adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly and implement the masses Line, respect the people’s dominant position and pioneering spirit, always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the people, and point out: “Don’t forget the original aspiration and keep the mission in mind, it is the question of why and who people rely on. Taking the hearts of the people as your heart, breathing with the people, sharing the same destiny, and heart-to-heart is the original aspiration of the Party and the perseverance of the Party. When thinking about problems, making decisions, and doing things, you must stand on the standpoint of the masses, understand the opinions and requirements, criticisms and suggestions of the masses through various channels, and work hard to relieve people’s worries, relieve people’s grievances, and warm peopleThe heart makes the people’s sense of gain, happiness and security more fulfilling, more secure and more sustainable. ”
Ask the people to be effective, and the work results are evaluated by the people. Comrade Deng Xiaoping repeatedly emphasized that “whether the people support, agree or not, be happy or agree” should be taken as the starting point and destination for formulating policies and making decisions. When talking about the issue of “capitalization” and “social”, he proposed: “The standard of judgment should mainly look at whether it is conducive to the development of socialist social productive forces, whether it is conducive to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of a socialist country, and whether it is conducive to improving the people’s living standards. “He took the three “benefits” as the fundamental standard for measuring all work of the Party and the country. Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out: “The times are the paper-producers, we are the paper-reporters, and the people are the paper-reviewers. “The level of governance and effectiveness of our party are not determined by ourselves, but must and can only be judged by the people. The people are the highest verdict and ultimate judge of our party’s work. ”
Adhere to the people first is the basic principle for promoting the construction of the national system
Since its establishment, the Communist Party of China has taken the people to liberation, have political, economic, cultural and social rights, and realize the all-round development of people as its goal. In the arduous revolutionary war era, the Communist Party of China took all opportunities to fight for rights for the people. After 28 years of bloody battles, our party led the people to victory in the new democratic revolution, overthrew the three mountains pressing on the people, and the people to liberation and become the masters of the new China. Since then, through the socialist revolution, we have established the basic socialist system. New systems in many aspects of politics, economy, culture and society have laid an important foundation for safeguarding and developing the interests of the people. People first are the value principles established by a series of new socialist systems, and these systems have become important guarantees for the implementation of the concept of people first. From the reality of the planned economic period href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks Practical exploration, to the transformation and development after reform and opening up, and to the innovative development of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, adhering to the people first has always been the value support for the establishment and improvement of various systems.
Being committed to establishing a real and effective democratic political system. After the founding of New China, the Party actively explored the establishment of a political system in which the people are masters of their own country, so that the people truly become the master of their own destiny, build and manage the country independently, and go to a better life. In September 1949, the “Common Program of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference” passed by the First Plenary Session of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which is the Common Program of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, stipulated that the state system of New China is the people’s democratic dictatorship and the political system is the system of the people’s congress. In September 1954, the first session of the First National People’s Congress was held. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan will passThe first constitution of New China marked the establishment of the People’s Congress system nationwide. The People’s Congress system insists that all state power belongs to the people, ensures that the people are masters of their own affairs to the greatest extent, and organically combines the leadership of the Party, the people are masters of their own affairs, and the rule of law. The establishment of the People’s Congress system, the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the Communist Party of China, and the system of regional ethnic autonomy, provides institutional guarantees for the people to be masters of their own country. More than 70 years since the founding of New China, especially in the 40 years since the reform and opening up, socialist democratic politics with Chinese characteristics has been continuously developed, the system of institutions has become increasingly complete, and political functions have gradually been strengthened. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, on the basis of deepening the understanding of the laws of democratic politics development, our party has put forward the important concept of people’s democracy throughout the process. Our whole-process people’s democracy does not only have complete institutional procedures, but also has complete participation practices, realizing the unity of process democracy and result democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy, people’s democracy and the will of the state. It is a full-chain, all-round, and full-coverage democracy, and the broadest, most real and most effective socialist democracy. Babaylan
Promote the establishment of a new economic system around the realization of common prosperityKomiks. After the founding of New China, our party abolished the feudal land system, restored the national economy, carried out various constructions, especially large-scale industrial construction, and promoted the realization of national socialist industrialization. Starting from 1953, the state carried out socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce. In 1956, my country basically completed the socialist transformation of the private ownership of means of production, realized the public ownership of means of production and the planned economic system, established a socialist economic system, ensured the implementation of the socialist industrialization strategy, and promoted economic development and the improvement of people’s living standards. After arduous exploration and tortuous development during the socialist revolution and construction period, after 1978, under the guidance of the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, the Party Central Committee followed the will of the people, shifted the focus of the Party and the country’s work to economic construction, and implemented reform and opening up. In 1992, the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made it clear that the goal of our country’s economic system reform is to establish a socialist market economic system, give full play to the fundamental role of the market in resource allocation to a greater extent, adhere to and improve the basic economic system, and greatly liberate and develop productivity. In 1997, the overall goal of building a moderately prosperous society was achieved. In 2010, my country became the world’s second largest economy. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has adhered to the people-centered development philosophy and made it clear that it must be firm.We will uphold and improve the basic socialist economic system, make the market play a decisive role in resource allocation, better play the role of the government, grasp the new development stage, implement the new development concept of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness and sharing, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic circulation as the main body and the domestic and international circulations mutually promoting each other, promote high-quality development, coordinate development and security, and build a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and embark on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country. While promoting comprehensive, coordinated and high-quality economic development, since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has made solid efforts to promote the common prosperity of all people in a more prominent position to plan and deploy.
Lead the construction of a cultural system that serves the people. As early as before the founding of New China, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: “Our literature and art are for the masses of the people, first of all, for workers, peasants and soldiers.” After the founding of New China, we educate the people with socialist ideals and values on the one hand, and on the other hand, we focus on the development of culture, education and sports. Literary and artistic works reflect the deeds of advanced figures, so it is necessary to use their spirit of struggle to inspire the general public and meet the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the people. With the deepening of reform and opening up and the development of the socialist market economy, the independence, selectivity, variability and differences of people’s ideological activities have been continuously enhanced. In October 2006, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed the task of building a socialist core value system, which provided a strong ideological and moral foundation for the unity and struggle of the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country. In October 2011, the “Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues Concerning Deepening Cultural System Reform and Promoting the Great Development and Prosperity of Socialist Culture” passed by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to build a socialist core value system, accelerate the construction of the public cultural service system, promote the development of the cultural industry, and continuously meet the basic cultural needs of the people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in promoting the construction of a cultural power of socialism, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has thoroughly implemented the people-centered development philosophy, emphasizing that literature and art must adhere to the fundamental direction of serving the people and serving socialism. Literary and artistic workers regard the people as the main body of literary and artistic expression, and fulfill the requirements of the people’s writing, expressing emotions for the people, and expressing their feelings for the people. The government should strengthen the construction of the basic public cultural service system and implement cultural benefit projects.
Continuously explore social systems that protect and improve people’s lives. Before the founding of New ChinaDuring the Soviet Area and Yan’an, the Party led the people to carry out a series of social constructions for the hard-working people’s education, health, social security and other social construction to ensure people’s livelihood. In the past 70 years since the founding of New China, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of my country, the system of social construction in our country has been increasingly perfected and historic achievements have been made. First, my country’s education level is gradually improving. With the popularization of basic education and the expansion of higher education, the educational and cultural level of our people has been continuously improved, and more high-quality talents have stood out. In 1949, more than 80% of my country’s population was illiterate and semi-illiterate, and the average life expectancy was only 35 years old. In 2020, the consolidation rate of nine-year compulsory education in my country was 95.2%, the gross enrollment rate in high school was 91.2%, and the gross enrollment rate of colleges and universities reached 54.4% in 2020. Second, my country focuses on rural areas and grassroots levels, builds a medical and health service system covering urban and rural areas, and strengthens the construction of a healthy China. By the late 1970s, a primary health care system was successfully established in rural areas. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has fully implemented the Healthy China strategy, put the people’s health in a strategic position of priority development, shifting from treating diseases to people’s health as the center, emphasizing prevention as the main focus, focusing on grassroots, integrating health into all policies, and establishing the concept of big health and big health. In 2016, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the “Healthy China 2030” Plan Outline, and the health and hygiene industry has made great achievements. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China’s average life expectancy will increase from 76.3 years to 77.3 years; the “14th Five-Year Plan” public service plan issued in 2022 shows that China’s average life expectancy will reach 78.3 years in 2025. my country’s major health indicators are better than the average level of middle- and high-income countries. Third, the elimination of regional overall poverty has made absolute poverty a history. After continuous efforts, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party has mobilized all forces to carry out targeted poverty alleviation and targeted poverty alleviation, and by 2020, 9899 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty. Fourth, a social security system with Chinese characteristics has been established. After the founding of New China, the Party led the people to establish a modern society that adapts to the planned economic system and the socialist market economic system.Guarantee system. Since the reform and opening up, my country has based itself on national conditions, actively explored and boldly innovated, focused on learning from the beneficial experience of foreign social security, and successfully built the world’s largest social security system with the largest population, the largest population, and distinct Chinese characteristics. 1.02 billion people have basic pension insurance and 1.36 billion people have basic medical insurance.
Preventing the people first is the magic weapon for winning all undertakings in the new era
The results of two polling surveys by the American polling agency show that the satisfaction of Chinese people with the Chinese party and government is 95% and 98% respectively. Adhering to the people first and protecting the people’s political, economic, cultural and social rights and interests is the key to the Party winning the trust and support of the people. The Party’s major achievements and historical experience in the past century have shown that the Party’s foundation lies in the people, its blood lies in the people, and its strength lies in the people. The people are the greatest confidence in the Party’s governance and prosperity.
Face the future, as long as we adhere to the people first, keep in mind the nature and purpose of the Party, insist on everything for the people and rely on the people, build the Party for the public and govern for the people, insist on development for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people, and the Party will surely be able to lead the people to create new glory. In the new development stage, adhering to the people first means that under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we must adhere to the new development concept and unswervingly follow the path of common prosperity for all people, so that the people can share the fruits of reform and development more and more equitably in people’s livelihood, rights protection, and spiritual culture, and further enhance their sense of gain, happiness and security.
Achieve effective connection between consolidating and expanding the results of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. During the transition period of poverty alleviation, party committees and governments at all levels strictly implement the requirements of “no responsibility to remove the hat, no policies to remove the hat, no assistance to remove the hat, and no supervision to remove the hat”, and establish and improve a long-term mechanism to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation. All localities will implement regular monitoring of people who are prone to falling back into poverty, establish and improve rapid discovery and response mechanisms, and include them in a timely manner in a layered and classified manner in the scope of assistance policies. Find ways to promote employment for low-income people. Provide follow-up assistance for poverty alleviation relocation and strengthen the construction of new urbanization in large-scale relocation resettlement areas.

Comprehensively promote the construction of a healthy China and provide people with all-round and full-life cycle health services. Accelerate the construction of ecological civilization and provide the people with a more beautiful ecological environment.
Improve the level of social governance. Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out: “Peace is the first need of the people after solving their food and clothing, it is an extremely important people’s livelihood and the most basic development environment.” Effective social governance is an important guarantee for the people’s living and working in peace and contentment, and it is also the inherent meaning of people’s livelihood and well-being. Social governance in the new era must shift the focus downward, build a new pattern of grassroots social governance, improve public security guarantee capabilities, correctly handle conflicts among the people under the new situation, strengthen social security prevention and control, and maintain social stability and security.

We must adhere to the principle of benefiting the people in culture, take the socialist core values as the guide, develop advanced socialist culture, continuously meet the people’s growing cultural needs, and enhance the people’s spiritual strength. First, we must promote the normalization and institutionalization of education on ideals and beliefs, continuously improve citizens’ civilized literacy, and improve the level of social civilization. Second, we must strengthen the construction of the public cultural service system, innovate the public cultural service system and mechanism, strengthen the communication, promotion and exchange of civilizations in Chinese culture, and better protect the cultural rights and interests of the people. Third, we must insist on putting social benefits first, unify social benefits and economic benefits, improve the modern cultural industry system and market system, and expand the supply of high-quality cultural products.
Develop people’s democracy throughout the whole process. People’s democracy is the essential requirement and inherent attribute of socialism. People’s democracy throughout the whole process is a new form of democratic politics, a creative development of socialist democratic politics with Chinese characteristics, and a vivid practice of the people being masters of their own country. In the new era, we must give full play to the advantages of the whole process of people’s democracy, and strengthen the Party’s leadership, continuously enrich and develop the content and forms of people’s democracy, and ensure that people’s democracy is effective.
