群衆路線：黨的生命線和根本工作路線

The mass line: the life of the Party and the fundamental guide to its work

群衆路線是中國共産黨的生命線和根本工作路線，是中國共産黨永葆青春活力和戰鬥力的重要傳家寶。習近平總書記指出：“保持黨的先進性和純潔性、鞏固黨的執政基礎和執政地位靠什麼？最重要的就是靠堅持黨的群衆路線、密切聯系群衆。”中國共産黨一百年來的曆史，就是一部始終保持同人民群衆血肉聯系、不斷依靠人民群衆取得勝利的曆史。在百年征程中，中國共産黨形成了“從群衆中來，到群衆中去”的優良傳統和工作作風。群衆路線是毛澤東思想活的靈魂的基本方面之一。

The mass line is the lifeline of the CPC and the fundamental guide to its work. It is a cherished treasure that enables the Party to retain its youthful vigor and fighting strength. Xi Jinping has said, “How can we maintain the Party’s progressive nature and its integrity, and consolidate its governing role and status? The key is to keep to the Party’s mass line and maintain close ties with the people.” The Party’s century-long history has been a history of always preserving the closest of ties with the people, and constantly relying on the people to achieve victory. On its 100-year journey, the CPC has established a fine tradition and style of work defined by the phrase “from the masses, to the masses.” The mass line is the living soul and one of the fundamental aspects of Mao Zedong Thought.
