Being born for the people, thriving for the people, always being with the people and striving for the interests of the people are the fundamental starting point and foothold of our party’s building, rejuvenating and strengthening the party.
To promote the common prosperity of all the people as the focus of happiness for the people, to make the "cake" bigger and better through the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, and to cut and divide the "cake" through reasonable institutional arrangements.
At the National People’s Congress this year, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited the members of agriculture, social welfare and social security who attended the Fifth Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, member Yi Xidawa from the Sichuan Provincial Civil Affairs Department brought new news about Cliff Village. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader carefully studied the two photos he picked up. One is a ramshackle rattan ladder hanging on a steep cliff; The other one, today’s steel ladder goes straight into the sky, and the villagers walk steadily and steadily. "For the people in need, we should pay special attention, care and care to help them solve problems." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "people’s livelihood is no small matter, and branches and leaves are always related to feelings".
Jiangshan is the people, and the people are Jiangshan. The word "people" is extremely important. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Resolution on the Great Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Hundred Years’ Struggle systematically summarizes the core content of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era with "Ten Clarities", one of which is: "It is clear that the main contradiction in our society in the new era is the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development, and we must adhere to the people-centered development thought, develop people’s democracy throughout the process, promote people’s all-round development and make more obvious substantive progress for all people’s common prosperity."
The question of why people are the touchstone to test the nature of a political party and a political power. It is the fundamental difference between Marxist political parties and other political parties to always be with the people and fight for their interests. As a Marxist political party, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has no special interests of its own except the interests of the country, the nation and the people. "I have a quilt, but I have to cut off half of it for the common people", Jiao Yulu, who lives in a sand dune and dies in a sand dune, and Yang Shanzhou & HELIP, who "benefits the people all his life and does self-denial for the public"; … Typical figures and touching stories in the history of the Party vividly show that our Party has always regarded seeking happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation as its initial heart and mission, which has been consistently reflected in all the Party’s struggles. Being born for the people, prospering for the people, always being with the people and striving for the people’s interests are the fundamental starting point and foothold of our party.
"The people’s yearning for a better life is our goal." The pursuit of a better life is an eternal theme, and it is an eternal process. At present, the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. The CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core focuses on the transformation of major social contradictions in the new era, points out the fundamental focus of solving major problems in the development of contemporary China, and provides important follow-up for promoting high-quality development, creating high-quality life and constantly satisfying people’s yearning for a better life. We should be soberly aware that there is still a gap between people’s yearning for a better life and reality, and it is far from being fully satisfied. In the past, we had to solve the problem of "have", but now we have to solve the problem of "good". We must take people’s yearning for a better life as our goal more consciously and firmly, constantly improve people’s sense of gain, happiness and security, and push people’s living standards to achieve a historic leap.
"A big country is as big as a big country. A myriad of things are, in the final analysis, the business of thousands of families. " People-centered development thought is not an abstract and metaphysical concept, which can not only stay in words and stop at ideological links, but also be reflected in all aspects of economic and social development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has put forward a series of new ideas, new arrangements and new requirements around making people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security more substantial, secure and sustainable. Continue to exert efforts to improve the security and improve people’s livelihood by providing education for young children, learning and teaching, earning income from hard work, getting medical care for diseases, providing security for the elderly, living and supporting the weak; Anchoring the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and organizing the implementation of the largest and strongest battle against poverty in human history; Adhere to the people first, life first, and achieve a major strategic achievement in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic … … A beautiful picture of a happy life is slowly spreading on the vast land. People’s expectations, political aspirations. To overcome difficulties and forge ahead bravely, to realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the starting point and the end result of all work, and to make the fruits of reform and development more consciously and fairly benefit all the people, our party can unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to stride forward on the broad road leading to a better life.
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism, an important feature of Chinese modernization and an unswerving goal of our party. The new era is an era in which the people of all ethnic groups in China unite and struggle, constantly create a better life and gradually realize the common prosperity of all people. On the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, only by promoting common prosperity can we promote the fruits of reform and development to benefit all the people more fairly and consolidate the dynamic foundation of high-quality development. According to the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, by 2035, "the common prosperity of all people will take solid steps" and by the middle of this century, "the common prosperity of all people will be basically realized". Taking promoting the common prosperity of all the people as the focus of seeking happiness for the people, making the "cake" bigger and better through the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, and cutting and dividing the "cake" well through reasonable institutional arrangements, we will certainly make more obvious substantive progress in promoting the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all the people with actual achievements.
"With the spiritual strength of self-confidence and self-improvement, the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the people of China have been further stimulated, and their ambition, backbone and confidence have been unprecedentedly enhanced, and the party’s heart, army’s heart and people’s hearts are high and inspiring." At this year’s National People’s Congress, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made an incisive summary of many strategic advantages for China’s development, among which "spiritual strength of self-confidence and self-improvement" is an important aspect. Do not forget your initiative mind, with firm confidence, practicing the people-centered development thought, always wanting to be together with the people and constantly meeting the people’s needs for a better life, will be able to arouse the fighting spirit to the greatest extent, gather strength to the greatest extent, work together to create a better life and write a new chapter in Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
