On September 1, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech at the opening ceremony of the training class for young and middle-aged cadres at the Central Party School (National Academy of Administration) in the autumn semester of 2021 that we Communists are for the sake of the Great Justice, the observance of the Great Righteousness, and the pursuit of the Great Self, and we must be more righteous and clear-minded, self-respecting, always put the Party and the people in the highest position in our hearts, and be a person who is dedicated to justice, upright and spotless.
The question of why people is the touchstone for testing the nature of a political party and a political regime. In the period of the new-democratic revolution, Comrade Mao Zedong established wholehearted service to the people as the fundamental aim of our Party. After the reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping regarded the people's support or disapproval, the people's approval or disapproval, the people's happiness or unhappiness, and the people's promise or disapproval as the starting point and the end point of all work; Comrade Jiang Zemin proposed that the CPC should always represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people; and Comrade Hu Jintao put forward the idea of putting people first. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that the people's yearning for a better life is our goal. In the 100 years since its founding, the Communist Party of China has always adhered to the principle that the foundation is in the people and the blood is in the people, always puts the people in the highest position in the heart, always takes the hearts of the people as the heart, and practices the people's view that Chinese communists should have with practical actions.
The country is the people, and the people are the country. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The Communist Party fights and guards the country, keeps the hearts of the people, and allows the people to live a good life." The history of our party's century-long struggle is the history of seeking happiness for the people. The "officials" of the Communist Party of China come from the people and are also members of the people. During the performance of their duties, party members and cadres are authorized by the people to perform their duties, and when they do not perform their duties, they return to the "people". Therefore, how to serve the people, how to do things for the people, and how to make the people's lives happier are important issues that every communist should seriously consider. In order to help the broad masses of party members and cadres to continuously build up the spiritual realm of "I will live up to the people without myself," keep firmly in mind the original mission of communists to seek happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation, and better solve the problem of the common people's "urgency, difficulty, and hope" with heart and soul, the Publishing House of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee has specially launched the book "The Communists' View of the People."
The whole book not only clarifies the current duties of Chinese communists and the value pursuits that party members and cadres should pursue, but also combines the glorious history of the Communist Party of China over the past hundred years, summarizes and summarizes the value orientation that Chinese communists should have from the practice of different periods of revolution, construction, and reform, centering on the core issue of what is the correct view of the people and what kind of people views communists should have, relying on the concept and practice of the COMMUNIST Party of China in ruling the country since its founding 100 years, from the interest standards and performance evaluation of communists. The eight aspects of political role, economic vision, cultural responsibility, social responsibility, ecological pursuit, and world responsibility expound in detail how the majority of party members and cadres should have the "great power of the country" in mind and solve the problem of "who am I, for whom, and who to rely on". It can be said that this book is not only a code of conduct for communists to perform their duties and responsibilities, but also a value guide for the vast number of party members and cadres to engage in politics for officials.
