people's character is a distinctive feature of marxism and also the intrinsic character of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. on the one hand, xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era is another great leap forward in integrating marxism with china's reality. it is the latest theoretical achievement in adapting marxism to china's conditions and marxism in china in the 21st century. it is bound to inherit the popular character of marxism. on the other hand, general secretary xi jinping's feelings for the people once again confirm that the people's character has always been embedded in xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era.
we have always adhered to the fundamental position of "people first"
on the question of "why are people the most important?", "people first" demonstrates the fundamental position of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. as xi jinping has said, "the whole party must bear in mind that the question of why we are people is the touchstone that tests the nature of a political party and a political power." to do everything for the people, to rely on the people and to trust the people is the value orientation of a marxist political party. it is also the clear-cut position of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era.
the supremacy of the people is the concentrated reflection of the fundamental position of marxism. marxism is the theory of science, the theory of the people, the theory of practice and the theory of open development. since the 18th national congress of the cpc, general secretary xi jinping has repeatedly stressed the importance of systematically mastering the "outstanding skill" of marxism and understanding and implementing its positions, viewpoints and methods. the position of marxism can be summed up as that of the people. before marx, the dominant theories in society, without exception, were centered on the needs of the ruling class and focused on the oppression and exploitation of the ruling class. marxism for the first time seeks the path of human freedom and liberation from the standpoint of the people, and provides scientific theories for the construction of an ideal society free from oppression, exploitation, equality and freedom for all. it is precisely because marxism is rooted in the people and serves the people that marxism has exerted a trans-national and trans-epochal influence, demonstrating the powerful power of the people to push history forward. it can be seen that the supremacy of the people is not only a concentrated summary of the inherent purpose of marxism, but also a clear manifestation of the fundamental political position of marxism.
the political position of putting the people first is determined by the nature and purpose of the cpc. apart from the interests of the working class and the overwhelming majority of the people, the communist party of china has no special interests of its own. this is the fundamental identity and fundamental advantage that distinguish it from other political parties. this has determined that the people are the starting point and goal of all the activities of the communist party of china. "all its theories, lines, principles and policies, all its work plans and arrangements should come from the people and be formulated and implemented in their interests." at the same time, the fundamental position of always upholding the supremacy of the people is inseparable from the purposes of the communist party of china. the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly distinguishes the cpc from all other political parties. general secretary xi jinping once put it clearly: "my governing philosophy is to serve the people." the purpose of serving the people heart and soul requires that we uphold the supremacy of the people, always share the same breath and destiny with hundreds of millions of people, draw sustenance and strength from the people, and maintain close ties with them. only in this way can the communist party of china be forever young and better serve the people. it can be said that adhering to the fundamental position of people's supremacy is an inevitable manifestation of the nature and purpose of the cpc.
putting the people first is the fundamental position of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. people's character is the distinctive feature of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era, and it runs through the whole system of xi's thought and theory on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. first of all, in the original intention and mission of the cpc, the fundamental position of putting the people first was laid out. it is the original aspiration and mission of the chinese communists to seek happiness for the chinese people and rejuvenation for the chinese nation. beginner's mind is the driving force of "why to start", while the mission is the requirement of "in what direction to go". the original intention and mission of chinese communists represent that the party has always taken the people's supremacy as its starting point and goal. second, the fundamental position of putting the people first should be reflected in major strategic arrangements. the popular spirit of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era has been integrated into the party's decisions and plans since the 18th cpc national congress. we will win the battle against poverty and the people's war against covid-19, and the "last kilometer" to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. we will formulate reform ideas in the interests of the people, formulate reform measures and comprehensively deepen reform. taking the protection of the fundamental rights and interests of the people as the starting point and goal, we should ensure that every policy in comprehensively governing the country by law reflects the will of the people and is supported by them. we will resolutely correct what the people object to and hate, and ensure that full and strict party governance is always on the way. finally, in a series of major initiatives to highlight the fundamental position of the people's supremacy. the cpc central committee with comrade xi jinping at its core grasps the people's conditions and complies with the people's will. it has always put the people first and worked hard to address their actual difficulties. we will continue to vigorously combat corruption so that "flies" and "tigers" have no place to hide. we should adhere to the principle of "not one less than one", focus on poverty alleviation and other major measures, and always uphold the value orientation of people first.
we have always adhered to the idea of "people-centered" development
from the perspective of development concept, "people-centered" embodies the popular connotation of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. as general secretary xi jinping has pointed out, "people-centered development is not an abstract, mythical concept. it should not be merely spoken or thought alone, but reflected in all aspects of economic and social development." to uphold the people-centered concept of development means that development is for the people, by the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people.
we will respect the principal position of the people. taking the people as the main body is a scientific answer to the question of "who to rely on" and "who to believe" from the perspective of the main body. xi general secretary pointed out: "all the administrative activities of the communist party of china, all the management activities of the people's republic of china, must respect the principal position of the people, respect the people's pioneering spirit, thanks to the people, for the teacher to the growth of political wisdom and enhancing the governing ability of the deeply rooted in people's creative practice, make each aspects of insights can be applied to governing." on the one hand, respecting the principal position of the people requires a clear understanding of whom we should rely on. the people are the creators of the material and spiritual wealth of society, and they have rich social experience. xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era derives from the abstract generalization and rule-refinement of the knowledge and experience of the people. only by learning from the people, firmly relying on them to create great historical undertakings, and always relying on them to promote historical development, can we respect, rely on and educate the people. on the other hand, to respect the principal position of the people, we should also identify who we should believe in. in the final analysis, social development and progress are the result of the promotion by the people. the people are the creators of history, the masters of the country, and the decisive force for the future and destiny of the party and country. the great achievements made in china's revolution, reform and development are the inevitable result of the people's drive for development under the leadership of the cpc. we believe in and guide the people to devote themselves to the common cause of socialism with chinese characteristics to realize the interests of the chinese people of all ethnic groups and create a better life.
adhere to the concept of shared development. sharing the fruits of development by the people is a scientific answer to the question "what are the people's concerns" and "what are the people's expectations" from the perspective of the audience. general secretary xi jinping has made it clear: "the essence of the concept of sharing is to adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, which reflects the requirement of gradually realizing common prosperity. common prosperity is a basic goal of marxism and a basic ideal of the chinese people since ancient times." to pursue shared development and gradually achieve common prosperity, we must focus on what people care about. to sum up, it means to continuously make the "cake" bigger and then divide the "cake" into good parts, so that the superiority of the socialist system can be truly and fully manifested and the people can truly have more sense of gain. to put the people first, we need to address the concerns of the people in all aspects of economic and social development. we need to adhere to the concept of shared development and gradually achieve common prosperity. we also need to work hard on what the people expect. to put the people first, we need to address the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development, so that the expectations of the people can be alleviated through significant improvements in the quality and efficiency of development. therefore, taking "what is the people's concern" and "what is the people's expectation" as the target, under the principle of joint contribution and sharing, we should continuously realize the universal sharing in the coverage of sharing and the comprehensive sharing in the content of sharing.
we should stick to a people-centered approach to work. focusing on the people to carry out work is a scientific answer to the question of "to whom" and "where" from a practical perspective. the idea of people-centered development should not be confined to words or thought, but should be reflected in all aspects of economic and social development. the cause of socialism with chinese characteristics is a common cause of the party and the people. to achieve the goal of building china into a strong modern socialist country with chinese characteristics, we need the joint efforts of the whole party and the people of the whole country and the participation of all walks of life. what kind of job orientation to hold, the first need to answer the "who love" question. there is no doubt that based on the principal position of the people and the concept that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people, all work must be carried out with the people in mind. to be specific, general secretary xi jinping has put forward specific requirements on many occasions, aiming at different fields and work. for example, "if china's philosophy and social sciences want to make a difference, we must adhere to the people-centered research orientation." "to reflect the aspirations of the people, literature and art must adhere to the fundamental goal of serving the people and socialism." only when all walks of life make great efforts to serve the people can we put the people-centered development idea into practice and fully demonstrate the distinctive character of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era.
we have always upheld the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people
from the dimension of value evaluation, "putting people's interests in the supreme position" explains the value standard of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. putting people's interests first and people's expectations first is the starting point and goal of all the work of our party. it is the standard by which we measure the work of our party. it is also the inherent requirement of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era.
taking the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the highest standard. needless to say, our party has always represented the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people constitute the highest standard for all the work of our party. in general secretary xi jinping's mind, the common people are the sky and the common people are the earth. he took jiao yulu, gu wenchang and other excellent county party secretaries as examples to educate the general party members, especially the party cadres, to hold the common people in mind. only when we put the people in the highest position in our hearts can we put the people's interests above everything else and put the people's interests at the top of the value list. taking the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the highest standard, it is intuitively reflected in solving the most immediate and practical interests of the people. the people most concerned about is the most direct the most realistic problems embodied in employment, education, health, housing, pension, the respect such as poverty, only firmly grasp the livelihood of the people work in your hands, "one thing and one thing to do, a year after year, go ahead, perseverance, do both have landing, everything have echo, let people see changes, benefit", the highest value standard to reflect the interests of the people. of course, taking the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the highest standard, we must always maintain the political advantage of the party's flesh-and-blood ties with the people. "the mass line is the lifeline and fundamental work line of our party and an important heirloom for our party to maintain its youthful vitality and combat effectiveness." only by adhering to the principle of "from the masses and to the masses" can we always take the fundamental interests of the people as the highest standard and put them above all else.
we should regard the people as the supreme judge and final judge of the work of our party. the popular nature of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era is reflected not only in the fact that the people are the starting point and end point of all work, but also in the fact that the people are the judge of the final outcome of all work. we must put "people didn't embrace, who don't agree with, not happy, don't promise to answer" as the fundamental standards of all working gain and loss, let people more the acquisition, use this to examine, judge and deal with the problem in the process of reform and development, really will be "the people's work is our party's supreme arbiter and ultimate judge" concept embodied in governing all activities. it is important to note, however, insisted that adjudicated by the people, the people's satisfaction as the first standard inspection, we need to do to let the people true satisfaction rather than "be satisfied", like xi jinping stressed by general secretary, "testing the effectiveness of all our work, ultimately depends on whether people really gained, improved people's life is really, to guarantee the rights and interests of the people is not really", make the cause of the party and the people reflect the will of the people all the time, stand up to practice, the people and the test of history.
party members, especially party cadres, should be devoted to the people. in order to effectively safeguard the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, general secretary xi jinping has put forward specific requirements for party members, especially party cadres, which is also embedded in the connotation of xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era. first, get off your high horse and be a pupil. in a certain historical period in the past, the wrong ideas such as the style of the lords and the yamen eroded some party members, especially the leading cadres. xi jinping, general secretary of the education of leading cadres, must learn to put down shelves, and leading cadres not answers, more is not everything, god only through the actual people involved, and to accept people's opinion, do the people's students, rather than the people, can walk into the masses of the people, close to the masses of the people. second, be a public servant and be loyal to the people. serving the people is the fundamental purpose of our party, of governments at all levels, and of party members, especially party officials. as general secretary xi jinping puts it figuratively, officials at all levels cannot always keep their eyes up. everything has to look up and look down. always ask yourself whether the arrangement of work goes against the fundamental purpose of the party and the central task of focusing on the party and the country. in the great cause of loyalty to the people, paint the political nature of public servants of the people. finally, be a loyal follower of the masses. in the glorious tradition of sharing weal and woe with the people, sticking together with the people; we should also stick together with the people in the concrete practice of wanting to be in the same place and doing the same thing. to shorten the distance with the people, we must truly care for them, love them and serve them.
we have always set as our goal the people's aspiration for a better life
xi jinping thought on socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era is clearly defined from the perspective of the goal for a better life for the people. as general secretary xi jinping has pointed out, "the people's aspiration for a better life is our goal." leading the people to create a better life and realizing their aspirations for a better life is the distinct theme of xi jinping's socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era.
leading the people to create a better life is the unswerving goal of our party. looking back at the nearly 100 years of struggle of the communist party of china, it has always been its goal to lead the people to create a better life. during the period of the new-democratic revolution, our party focused on the immediate interests of the masses, from land and labor to fuel, rice, oil and salt, and mobilized the masses to overthrow the "three mountains" that had weighed on the chinese people, so that the chinese nation could truly stand up. during the period of socialist construction, through socialist transformation, our party carried out reform and opening up, established a strong national economic system, improved the living conditions of the chinese people and made them rich. in the new era, the cpc central committee with comrade xi jinping at its core has resolved whatever concerns the people and achieved whatever the people look forward to so that the people will live a happier and better life. launched from the people to unite the people and serve people, from the implementation of the chinese nation and the chinese people stood up and came to the rich and strong, depict the satisfy people's yearning for a better life, a process of constant progressive and beyond, and vividly reflect the new age of xi jinping follows thought the continuation and development of socialism with chinese characteristics.
we must firmly grasp the people's yearning for a better life. "the principal contradiction in our society has turned into one between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life." the change from "material and cultural needs" to "better life needs" reflects the people's all-round needs for a better life, and also clearly reflects the people's needs are diversified, multi-level and multifaceted. the first level is the need for life safety and physical health. in the face of the covid-19 outbreak, general secretary xi jinping has repeatedly stressed that "putting people's lives and health first". no matter in beijing or wuhan, general secretary xi jinping has, without exception, gone deep into the community as the "first line of defense" for epidemic prevention and control. the community and people at the grassroots level are the concerns of general secretary xi jinping. therefore, the need for life safety and physical health is the cornerstone of all needs, which will be magnified in the face of the epidemic. the second level is the need for a sense of gain, happiness and security. sense, happiness and security is established on the basis of material life needs, xi jinping stressed that the general secretary to seize the labor employment, skills training, income distribution, social security, health and safety problems, constantly satisfy the people most concerned about the interests of the most direct and realistic problems, most difficult and most urgent worry, on the basis of the practical problems, improve the people's feeling, happiness, a sense of security. the third dimension is the need to realize the long-cherished dream of national rejuvenation. to realize the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation is the greatest dream of the chinese nation since modern times. it is also the common aspiration of all chinese people. the people's need for realizing the long-cherished aspiration for the great rejuvenation of the nation is embedded in the people's aspiration for a better life.
to promote happiness is the idea of struggle. during his inspection tour in ningxia, general secretary xi jinping reiterated that "socialism is achieved through hard work and happiness is achieved through hard work". the chinese people are people with a great fighting spirit. over the past several thousand years, the chinese people have made unremitting efforts to create brilliant achievements of human civilization. since the founding of the people's republic of china, reform and opening up, and especially since the 18th national congress of the cpc, the chinese people have worked hard and worked hard under the leadership of our party, and made a great leap forward from standing up, getting rich, to becoming strong. this year is the first year of the decisive battle for the centenary goals. now we have reached the critical moment when we are faced with the impact of covid-19. the greater the magnitude of the task and the more complex the situation, the more important it is to promote the idea that happiness is the result of hard work. only through persistent hard work can we minimize the disruption and impact of the epidemic on the decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and the decisive battle against poverty, achieve the "last kilometer" of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and fulfill the solemn commitment of meeting people's aspirations for a better life.
