Whether a political party can decisively answer the fundamental question of "who I am, for whom, and on whom" will directly determine its future, destiny, rise or fall. Since its founding, the COMMUNIST Party of China (CPC) has inscribed "the People" on its banner and has always stood by the people. At present, in the face of major changes and complex domestic and international situations unseen in a century, only by upholding the people's stand, putting the people first, and uniting the people can we meet various risks and challenges, resolve major conflicts, and advance our cause.

The people's character is the most distinctive character of Marxism. It always stands together with the people and strives for their interests, which is the fundamental difference between Marxist political parties and other political parties. In The Holy Family, Marx and Engels pointed out that "the historical activities are the activities of the masses, and with the deepening of the historical activities, the masses will definitely expand." The Communist Manifesto stated even more loudly and clearly that "the proletarian movement is an independent movement for the benefit of the overwhelming majority." This directly expresses the communist's view of the masses. All these statements of classical writers clearly tell people that relying on the masses to make history and win the revolutionary victory is a magic weapon for the proletariat to win the victory.

As a Marxist political party, the CPC has always believed that the party spirit and the people's nature have always been consistent and unified, and that only by upholding the principal position of the people can the party succeed in its cause. Precisely this, since the founding of the Chinese Communist Party for the people's happiness as the pursuit of the goal. It was precisely by relying on and for the people that the Communist Party of China won the support of the broad masses of the people and successfully won the revolutionary victory. At the beginning of the founding of new China, the CPC continued to uphold the position of the people, established the socialist system by relying on the people and consolidated the new regime. Entering the new period of reform and opening up, the CPC sticks to the people's position in theory and respects the people's principal position in practice. As we enter a new era, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has made it clearer that we must put the people at the center and make the people's aspiration for a better life our unremitting goal. On different occasions, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly warned the whole Party that "the people are the creators of history and the real heroes" and "the people are the greatest confidence of our Party in governing the country", thus demonstrating to the world the people's position that Communists are firmly committed to.

People's character runs through the whole process of the practice of governance. Since the 18th National Congress of the COMMUNIST Party of China (CPC), the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has adhered to marxist values and views on history, unswervingly adhered to the people's position, and imbued the people's character in all areas of governance.

Make people's character the first principle of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. To complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects is not only a solemn promise made by the CPC to the people and history, but also the common aspiration of the 1.4 billion Chinese people. Entering a new era, completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects has not only become our new goal, but also occupies a leading position in the four-pronged comprehensive strategy. However, a moderately prosperous society in all respects depends not only on raising the level of productive forces, but also on whether the fruits are Shared by the people. This is why General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that "to complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, no nation should be left behind", "no rural area should be left behind" and "no old Soviet area should be left behind". These are all vivid manifestations of the Party's commitment to the people in its practice of governing the country.

We must rely firmly on the people to promote reform. Reform and opening up are the most distinctive features of contemporary China and the most distinctive banner of our Party. As General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out, "Reform and opening up is a key step in determining the destiny of contemporary China, as well as the two centenary goals and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." At present, the reform has entered the deep water zone, and various contradictions and problems are complex. In the face of this grim situation, it is only by relying on the people, respecting their initiative, and giving full play to their wisdom and wisdom that we can form a strong cohesive force for advancing reform and provide the fundamental driving force for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This is both the basic experience of our Party's governance and an important source of its strength.

Upholding the rule of law serves the people. "Those who serve the law are strong, and those who serve the law are weak." History and practice have repeatedly reminded people that law is the most important instrument for governing a country and good law is the prerequisite for good governance. Reform, development and stability are inseparable from the rule of law escort; The security and well-being of the people are inseparable from the rule of law. In A China with a large population and complex national conditions, the rule of law must be upheld in the governance of the country. This is not only the inevitable requirement of the development of institutional civilization, but also the wisdom and wisdom of governing the country. To uphold the rule of law, we must take the people as the main body and source of strength, and take the protection of the people's legitimate rights and interests as an important objective. Practice has shown that ensuring the principal position of the people as masters of the country through the rule of law can reflect their interests, reflect their aspirations, safeguard their rights and interests, and improve their well-being.

We will draw inexhaustible energy from the people to govern and run the Party. The future of a political party and a political regime depends on the popularity of the people. President Xi Jinping has stressed that "our Party comes from the people, is rooted in the people, and serves the people. Once divorced from the people, the Party will lose its vitality." It is in keeping with this position that the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has led the people in pushing for all-round and in-depth development of strict Party governance since the 18th National Congress of the CPC. From "the people against what, hate what, will firmly to prevent and correct any", to "must be the biggest strength to solve negative corruption, ensure that the party is always with the people's heart, and the advocacy", to "not to offend hundreds of thousands of corrupt, one billion three hundred million people" will offend, fully shows that our party always pays attention to draw tube party party from the masses of the people's powerful energy.

It is the political stand and fundamental requirement of a Marxist party to put the people first, which demonstrates the original aspiration and mission of Communists. We should respect the principal position of the people, maintain flesh-and-blood ties with them, and safeguard their fundamental interests in practice.

We will respect the principal position of the people. "The people are the makers of history, and the people are the real heroes." Respecting the principal position of the people is the dividing line between materialist and idealist historical views. At this critical moment of great changes unseen in the world for a century and the great renewal of the Chinese nation, only by firmly relying on the people and respecting their dominant position can we overcome difficulties and turn crises into opportunities. It is the nature and purpose of the Party to maintain close and flesh-and-blood ties with the people. Historical experience shows that to maintain close ties with the people is the fundamental guarantee for the CPC to overcome all kinds of risks and challenges and achieve continued success in its cause. We should have a high political awareness of the importance of maintaining flesh-and blood ties with the people, maintain close emotional ties with them, unite them with their feelings, empathize with them and serve them with all our might, truly understand what they think, wonder and expect, and help them solve practical problems. Safeguard the fundamental interests of the people. The ruling practice of the COMMUNIST Party of China shows that ensuring a good life for the people is the starting point and goal of all our work, and the people's yearning for a better life is our goal. At present, as socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has turned into one between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life. This requires us to pay more attention to safeguarding the interests of the broad masses of the people, so that the people have a more direct and tangible sense of gain, happiness and security.
