Interpretation of Xi Jinping's Golden Sentence: Three People-Centered "Can't"
We must put the interests of the people first, at any time and under any circumstances,The stance of sharing the same breath and destiny with the people cannot be changed, the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly cannot be forgotten, and the historical materialist viewpoint of firmly believing that the masses are true heroes cannot be lost.
-- Foreign language Publishing House, Xi Jinping on governing the country (Volume II), promoting the development of extensive and multi-layered institutionalization of deliberative democracy
Background of the Golden Sentence
This golden sentence comes from General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the celebration of the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on September 21, 2014. Its profound meaning, profound implications, and far-reaching intentions have drawn the basic bottom line, clarified the core connotation, and revealed the ideological foundation for the Communist Party of China to adhere to the people-centered governance concept.
One is to draw a basic bottom line centered on the people.The rise of politics lies in following the will of the people, and the fall of politics lies in going against the will of the people. The people are the creators of history and the fundamental force that determines the future of the Party and the country. The will of the people is the greatest politics, and the support of the people is related to the survival of the party. If the ruling party loses the will of the people, it will lose its foundation, bloodline, strength, and ultimately lose its governing position. Adhering to the people-centered approach, we must practice the viewpoint of historical materialism, uphold the people's position, adhere to the purpose of serving the people, and firmly believe that the masses are the true heroes. These are the three basic bottom lines that cannot be crossed, and we must never change, forget, or lose them at any time.
The second is to clarify the essential connotation of putting the people at the center.The historical materialist viewpoint of the people's standpoint, the purpose of serving the people, and the fact that the masses are the true heroes has clarified the essential connotation of the "people-centered" governance concept from the fundamental standpoint, implementation path, and philosophical foundation. To adhere to the "people-centered" governance concept, we must firmly grasp the issues of the people's standpoint, attitude, and positioning. There should be no slack, relaxation, or looseness in these essential issues. We must always think from the people's standpoint, serve the people wholeheartedly, and sincerely rely on the people to promote the development of our cause.
Thirdly, it reveals the ideological foundation centered on the people.Marxist materialist conception of history points out that the people are the creators of history, the main body of historical activities, the true heroes, and the decisive force driving social progress. The thought of "taking the people as the center" fully conforms to the view of Marx's historical materialism, has a strong philosophical foundation, and is also the fundamental symbol that the CPC is different from other political parties. At all times, we must adhere to this historical materialist viewpoint, firmly believe in the power of historical materialism, grasp the action guide of "putting the people at the center", and insist on relying on the people to promote work, promote the cause, and realize dreams.
Knowledge and Action Enlightenment
Although the three "cannot" centered on the people are requirements for the socialist democratic consultation system, they are instructive and educational to every CPC member. Communist Party members and leading cadres should deeply understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's new ideology of "putting the people at the center", and firmly uphold the people's position, adhere to the purpose of serving the people, and firmly believe in the power of the people in practical work.
We must firmly uphold the people's position.Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out: "A strong failure is because it is divorced from the masses; a weak victory is because it is linked with the people." The CPC comes from the people, rooted in the people, and serves the people. The people's position is both the fundamental political position of the CPC and the touchstone of true and false Marxism. Communist Party members and leading cadres must firmly adhere to the people's position, and first of all, cannot deviate from the masses in ideology, behavior, work, or life; Secondly, we must always take the support, approval, happiness, and agreement of the people as the starting point and destination for formulating various policies and guidelines, with the interests of the people as the highest interest, the needs of the people as the highest need, and the goals of the people as the highest goal. We must truly think from the perspective of the people, seek problems from the height of the people, and view problems with the scale of the people.
Secondly, we must adhere to the principle of serving the people.Adhering to serving the people wholeheartedly is the fundamental purpose, the highest value orientation and the spiritual pursuit above all of the people of the CPC. Communist Party members and leading cadres must adhere to the principle of serving the people, first of all, correct their attitude towards the people, and establish the concrete, practical, and progressive concept of serving the people wholeheartedly; Secondly, we must combine adhering to tradition, carrying forward tradition, and promoting tradition, and constantly innovate the concepts, methods, and means of serving the people; Once again, we must make solving the difficulties of the people the primary goal and important content, adhere to the principle that there is no small matter for the people's affairs, do more practical work to provide timely assistance, truly take the safety and well-being of the people's hearts into consideration, and deliver the care of the Party to the hearts of the people.
We must firmly believe in the power of the people.The people are the main force, the backbone, and the central force, and cannot be ignored or underestimated at any time. Communist Party members and leading cadres firmly believe in the power of the people, which means always relying on the people, relying on the people, and relying on the people. Relying on the people means adhering to the position of the people as the main body and maximizing the infinite potential of the people; Relying on the people means respecting their pioneering spirit, taking the people as teachers, and drawing nourishment, wisdom, and strength from the masses; Relying on the people means gaining support from the harmonious relationship between the Party and the masses, and gaining motivation from rooting in the people. Communist Party members and leading cadres, as vanguard soldiers, rely on the people and never give up their guidance, guidance, and teaching to the people. Instead, they must shoulder the responsibility of uniting, organizing, and leading the people, helping them to improve their thinking, abilities, and environment, and achieve their value pursuits and ideal goals.
