General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The people are the greatest confidence for our party to govern, the solid foundation of our republic, and the foundation for strengthening the party and rejuvenating the country. Our party comes from the people, is born for the people, and prospers because of the people. We must always work with The people are of one mind, share the joys and sorrows with the people, and work in unity with the people." To deeply understand the relationship between the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people, we must look at the historical destiny of the Chinese nation and the Chinese people in modern times. After the First Opium War, China began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. In order to achieve national independence, people's liberation, national unity, and social stability, countless people with lofty ideals struggled and tried, but ultimately failed. The Communist Party of China was founded in 1921. After 28 years of revolutionary struggle, it led the people to overthrow the "three mountains", established a new China, and achieved national independence and people's liberation. After socialist revolution, construction, and more than 40 years of reform and opening up, it created With the miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that is rare in the world, the long-suffering Chinese nation has ushered in bright prospects for great rejuvenation. At the same time, the Communist Party of China has grown from a small party of more than 50 members to the world's largest ruling party with more than 91 million members. Why is the Chinese Communist Party “able”? Government thrives when it complies with the people's support, and politics fails when it goes against the people's support. The basis for winning the people's support depends not only on a political party's fundamental stance and purpose, but also on a political party's actual actions and actions to promote the development of the country and society and seek benefits for the people. score.

Always adhere to the people’s position and the masses

For a political party, what kind of political stance and public outlook it has will determine what kind of values it has. Fundamentally, "who you believe in, who you rely on, who you work for, and whether you always stand on the standpoint of the overwhelming majority of the people is the watershed that distinguishes historical materialism from idealism, and is also the touchstone for judging Marxist parties."

The people's position is the fundamental political stance of the Communist Party of China. Since its birth, our party has established Marxist historical materialism, the people's position and the mass viewpoint. In 1921, Comrade Mao Zedong clearly stated: "Historical materialism is the basis of our party's philosophy." In 1922, the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China "Resolution on the Organizational Constitution of the Communist Party" emphasized that the party should be "the majority of the proletariat with the most revolutionary spirit." "A political party organized by the masses to fight for the interests of the proletariat" and to "form a large 'mass party' among the masses." In December 1935, the Wayaobao Conference resolved that the Communist Party is not only the representative of the interests of the working class, but also the representative of the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China and the representative of the entire nation; the Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the Chinese proletariat. team; at the same time, the Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the entire nation. In 1944, at Zhang Side’s memorial service, Comrade Mao Zedong clearly proposed “serving the people” and emphasized that “our team is entirely for the liberation of the people and works completely for the interests of the people.” Later he further emphasized that “the Communist Party It is a political party that seeks the interests of the nation and the people, and it has no selfish interests of its own." By 1945, in his report "On Coalition Government", Comrade Mao Zedong closely linked the people's position, the views of the masses, and the purpose of the party, emphasizing that "we should serve the people wholeheartedly and never be separated from the masses for a moment; everything should proceed from the interests of the people." , rather than starting from the interests of individuals or small groups; the consistency of being responsible to the people and being accountable to the party's leading organs; these are our starting points." Starting from the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has included serving the people wholeheartedly as the fundamental purpose of the party in the party constitution.

After the founding of New China, our party has always adhered to the people's stand, the masses' views and the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and has continued to carry forward it. During the period of socialist construction, Comrade Mao Zedong warned the entire party: "The Communist Party must strive and serve the people wholeheartedly. It should not serve the people half-heartedly or two-thirds of the heart and two-thirds of the heart." Since the reform and opening up, , Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized many times that "leadership is service." The "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Strengthening the Party's Contact with the People" adopted in 1990, on the basis of reaffirming the people's position and mass line, enriched and developed the party's mass views into "six basic points", that is, firmly establishing the people's views is a historical creation The viewpoint of the observer, the viewpoint of learning from the people, the viewpoint of serving the people wholeheartedly, the viewpoint that the power of cadres is given by the people, the viewpoint of being responsible to the party and the viewpoint of being responsible to the people, the party must rely on the masses and educate and guide the masses to move forward. The viewpoint further illustrates the fundamental issues of who the Chinese Communist Party revolutionizes for and on whom it relies on, who it governs for and on whom it relies on, and who it develops for and on whom it relies on for development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized that "the people are the creators of history, and the masses are the real heroes. The masses of the people are the source of our strength" and further put forward the people-centered development idea and required the whole party to "The interests of the people must be put first. At any time and under any circumstances, the position of breathing and sharing the same fate with the people cannot be changed. The purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly cannot be forgotten. The historical materialist view of firmly believing that the masses are the real heroes cannot be lost. ".

Always safeguard, realize and develop the interests of the masses

The party's stance, viewpoints and purposes are never mysterious and abstract theories, but concrete and vivid practices. How does the Chinese Communist Party gain the support of hundreds of millions of people? The fundamental reason is that the party comes from the people, relies on the people as its backing, and sincerely seeks the interests of the people. It not only talks about it, but also practices it. In the past century, the Communist Party of China has always placed an important position on safeguarding, realizing and developing the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in the process of revolution, construction and reform.

In the early days of the founding of the party, our party led and organized the labor movement, starting from the economic struggle to improve workers' lives and working conditions, and then developed into the political struggle for workers' democratic rights. In the process of agrarian revolution and base area construction, our party focused on "solving the production and living problems of the masses, the problem of salt, the problem of rice, the problem of houses, the problem of clothing, the problem of having children" and other issues of concern to the masses, "Cracking down on local tyrants and allocating land" and "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" vividly explain our party's practical actions to safeguard the interests of the masses. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, developing the economy and improving people's livelihood have always been the main line of socialist construction and reform. Our party grasps the dialectics of "big things" and "little things", always attaches great importance to solving the vital interests of the broad masses of the people, and has led the Chinese people to achieve a historic leap from insufficient food and clothing to adequate food and clothing, and from food and clothing to an overall well-off society, and is about to achieve comprehensive A great victory in building a moderately prosperous society. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has taken the people's yearning for a better life as the party's goal, led the people in an all-round fight against poverty, and created a world miracle in solving poverty problems in developing countries. Since the reform and opening up, whether it was flood relief in 1998, earthquake relief in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the fight against SARS in 2003, or the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, our party has always put people and life first, and put the safety of people's lives first and physical health come first.

In a country with a weak foundation, suffering from war and plunder, how to comprehensively build socialism and realize the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people? In a large developing country, how can we satisfy the people's yearning for a better life and achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation? The fundamental one is to make development the top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country, constantly liberating and developing productive forces, constantly enhancing comprehensive national strength, and constantly improving people's living standards. On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly identified "steadily transforming an agricultural country into an industrial country" as a fundamental task after taking power. In February 1953, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out when inspecting Jiujiang's industrial and agricultural production: "From the first day it took over the Kuomintang power, the Communist Party has focused its eyes on production and construction and spared no effort to grasp this central task. Let history prove that, Not only can we lead the revolutionary war well, but we will also be able to lead the economic construction in peacetime well so that the people of the whole country can live a good life." On the basis of the recovery and development of the national economy, the First National People's Congress in 1954 clearly stated that including modernization Four modernization goals including industry, agriculture, transportation and national defense. The Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China shifted the focus of the work of the Party and the state to economic construction, implemented reform and opening up, and built socialist modernization, achieving a great historic turn for our party. The Thirteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China included building a modern socialist country into the Party’s basic line for the primary stage of socialism. Judging from the development practice since the reform and opening up, our party has always adhered to people-oriented and development as the top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has set out to meet the people's expectations for a better life, embodied the people-centered development thinking in all aspects of economic and social development, and strived to achieve "the common people care about What we should grasp and what we expect in reform should be grasped and pushed forward in reform,” so as to continuously enhance the people’s sense of gain, happiness, and security with actual results.

Always regard the people's standards as the highest standard for testing all the party's work

The one who knows the leakage in the house is under the roof, and the one who knows the failure of government is in the grass. The Communist Party of China has always insisted on building the party for the public good and governing for the people. It has always regarded the realization, maintenance and development of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and goal of all the work of the party and the country. Approval, happiness or displeasure, and agreement or disapproval are the fundamental criteria for measuring the success or failure of all work.

During the revolutionary period, Comrade Mao Zedong clearly stated: "All speeches and actions of Communists must be in line with the best interests of the overwhelming majority of the people and be supported by the overwhelming majority of the people as the highest standard." After the founding of New China, this "highest standard" It has always been upheld by our party and has been continuously enriched and developed. Since the reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping has clearly regarded the people's support or disapproval, the people's approval or disapproval, the people's happiness or displeasure, and the people's agreement or disapproval as the starting point and destination for formulating principles and policies and making decisions. In 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his speech at a conference celebrating the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China that the entire party should put the people at the highest position in its hearts and regard "whether the people support or not, approve or disapprove, are happy or unhappy, and agree or not." The fundamental standard for measuring the success and failure of all work."

Against the fundamental and highest standards for testing all the party's work, our party constantly examines itself, promptly corrects mistakes, and strives to achieve that "all problems that affect the party's creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness must be overcome with all efforts, and any problems that damage the party's advanced nature must be overcome." "All diseases of purity and purity must be thoroughly treated, and all cancers that breed on the healthy body of the party must be resolutely eradicated", so that "whatever the people oppose and hate, we must resolutely prevent and correct." Throughout its 100-year history, the Communist Party of China has attached great importance to party building, strictly managed and governed the party, improved its work style, maintained close contact with the masses, resolutely opposed corruption, served the people with integrity and diligence, was good at correcting mistakes, and had the courage to carry out self-revolution. Distinctive political character.

Looking at the history of the development of political parties in the world, no political party has always attached great importance to the construction of the party's style and resolutely opposed corruption like the Communist Party of China. During the revolutionary period, our party created effective forms such as the Yan'an Rectification Movement, and formed a fine style of integrating theory with practice, close contact with the masses, and criticism and self-criticism. After the founding of New China, our party kept in mind the "two musts" and launched the "three evils" campaign against corruption, waste and bureaucracy, and continued to promote work style construction. Since the reform and opening up, our party has elevated the party's style construction to a level that is related to the support of the people and the life and death of the party, and has raised the issue of corruption to a level that is related to the life and death of the party and the country. It has continuously established rules and regulations and strengthened supervision. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has always emphasized that work style construction is always on the road, insisting that the party must manage the party, comprehensively and strictly govern the party, persistently improve work style, strictly enforce discipline, and further promote the new era of party building in the new era. great project and achieved an overwhelming victory in the fight against corruption.

Looking at the history of the development of political parties in the world, no political party is as good as the Communist Party of China in adhering to the truth, correcting mistakes, and having the courage to revolutionize itself. The "Resolution on Certain Historical Issues" adopted by the Seventh Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1945 and the "Resolution on Certain Historical Issues of the Party since the Founding of the People's Republic of China" adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1981 are both the experience of the Communist Party of China. The summary is also an example of our party's adherence to truth, good at correcting mistakes, and courage in self-revolution. One of the key reasons why the Chinese Communist Party has been able to grow from weak to strong and continuously achieve success in revolution, construction, and reform and opening up is that it never becomes complacent, never becomes rigid, never stagnates, and dares to turn its blade inward, dare to scrape bones to heal wounds, and dare to A strong man breaks his wrist. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has the courage to face problems head-on, eliminate all factors that damage the party's advanced nature and purity, eliminate all viruses that corrode the party's healthy body, and continuously strengthen the party's self-purification, The ability of self-improvement, self-innovation, and self-improvement ensures that the party always has strong vitality and strong combat effectiveness, and always becomes the vanguard of the times and the backbone of the nation.

In short, the Communist Party of China has been a political party that seeks happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation since its birth. It has never had its own selfish interests. It relies on the people's innovation and creation, leads the people to write legends that catch up with the times and lead the times, and in the revolutionary forging Keep in mind the original intention and mission and be at the forefront of the times. The leadership position of the Communist Party of China is not self-proclaimed, but a choice made by history and the people. Practice has and will further prove that this choice is correct.
