The Party’s 19th National Congress closed just one week after the closing, General Secretary Xi Jinping led the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to Shanghai.
Less than a week after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed, General Secretary Xi Jinping led a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to Yan'an.
One is the birthplace of the Communist Party of China and the origin of the original intention of the Communists of China. One is the holy land of the Chinese revolution and the cradle of the new China. The two views and two declarations are related to the history and future of the Communist Party of China, and to the mission and original aspiration of the Chinese Communists.
"Everything moves forward cannot forget the path we have walked; no matter how far you go or how bright the future you have traveled, you cannot forget the past we have traveled, and you cannot forget why we set out" - Chinese Communists deeply understand that only by not forgetting their original aspirations can we comfort history and ancestors, win the hearts of the people, win the times, and do things well and move forward.
This original mission is to seek rejuvenation for the nation and happiness for the people. And everything comes down to the two most important words, "people".
More than a year ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his July 1st speech that "the foundation of the Communist Party of China lies in the people, the bloodline of the people, and the strength of the people. The Communist Party of China has always represented the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and has a common weal and woe with the people and is dependent on life and death."
Everything about the Party comes from the people, belongs to the people, and is for the people. "People first" is a purpose and a lifeline.

There is a sentence in the report of the Twenty National Congress that won warm applause at the opening meeting and was repeatedly mentioned in the study and discussion - "The country is the people, the people are the country, and the country is the country, fighting and guarding the country, guarding the people's hearts." In Yan'an, the Communist Party of China was once unpopular, and was able to conquer the country, relying on the people's hearts.
Yangjialing Central Auditorium , the four big words "One Heart and One Deal" are hung to this day. Back then, it was under the reflection of these four big words that the Communist Party of China held the Seventh National Congress, establishing Mao Zedong Thought as the guiding ideology of the Party, and also writing "serving the Chinese people wholeheartedly" into Party Constitution .
This is almost the biggest secret of the success of the Communist Party of China. Foreign journalists who were exploring the mystery of the rise of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an made such discoveries: more than 80 years ago, the Communists "have no personal bodyguards, gendarmerie and the sensational and boastful talks among the bureaucracy in Chongqing", "their clothes and life are simple. Except for farmers, almost everyone wears the same ordinary Zhongshan suit sewn with local cloth"; when talking to the Communists, they always talk about the "people" and "Chinese people", and finally mention the "people of the world"...
February 1942, Mao Zedong was in Yan's Ankong wrote in a pen: "As long as our party's style is completely upright, the people of the whole country will learn from us." Three months ago, he told "Sir Senators, Dear comrades" on the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Senate , "Dear Senators, comrades" that the Communist Party is a political party that seeks the interests of the nation and the people, and is absolutely selfless. "It should be supervised by the people and never violate the will of the people. Its party members should stand among the people, and never stand above the people."
To this day, General Secretary Xi Jinping reiterated the old saying of the past: "Sit on this side of the people with your butt."

As has been repeatedly emphasized over the years, "the people's hearts are the greatest politics", "the people's hearts are related to the life and death of the party" . Only by winning the hearts of the people can we win the initiative in history and firmly grasp China's future and destiny. An advanced and mass party, a party that is determined to have great achievements in national rejuvenation, will have a clear and firm choice.
insists on doing everything for the people and relying on the people, coming from and going to the people, always maintaining flesh-and-blood ties with the people, always accepting criticism and supervision of the people, always breathing with the people, sharing the same destiny, and heart-to-heart. These calls issued to the whole party at the end of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China once again interpret the heavy weight of the word "people".
On October 23, on the day he was re-elected as General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping solemnly said to Chinese and foreign reporters: "We must always stand with the people through storms and ties with the people, think what the people think, do what the people ask, and constantly turn the people's yearning for a better life into reality."
Countless people thought of the sentence ten years ago: "The people's yearning for a better life is our goal." This is a very grand declaration and an extremely specific promise.
"People" is never abstract. Behind the word "people" are 1.4 billion "one", which are specific people, which are concrete urgent, difficult, and anxious, sweet, bitter, and dreams.
"People first" is reflected in response to real concerns and solving daily troubles, in the fact that children have education, education, income from work, medical care, elderly have care, housing, and support from the weak, and in the real observation of the comprehensive development of people.
The fundamental standard for measuring everything should be "Whether the people are satisfied, happy or not, agree or agree or not" .
This is also a clear declaration made by the Chinese Communists. " people-centered " is ultimately to protect the hearts of the people and win the hearts of the people. If you win the hearts of the people, you will have the most important confidence in the long journey in the future.
