"The jiangshan is the people, and the people are the jiangshan." The people's position is the fundamental political position of the Communist Party of China and is a distinctive mark that distinguishes Marxist political parties from other political parties. In order to deeply study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the conference celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, on September 18, the Shanghai Xi Jinping Research Center for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era and Shanghai University jointly sponsored the "Jiangshan is the People, the People are the Jiangshan" Theory and Practice Seminar was held in Shanghai.
Adhere to the people-centered value orientation
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his important "July 1st" speech that the people are the creators of history and the real heroes. This important exposition shines with the light of truth of historical materialism and highlights the value orientation of the Chinese Communists who are supreme to the people. Xu Jiong, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Municipal CPC Committee and director of the Shanghai Municipal Press and Publication Bureau, pointed out that the people's stand is the fundamental political stand of a Marxist political party, the people are the real driving force for historical progress, and the people's interests are the fundamental starting point and foothold of all our party's work. It is necessary to profoundly explain well the scientific connotation of "jiangshan is the people, and the people are the jiangshan" and its contemporary values, profoundly sum up the historical experience of the CPC in winning the hearts of the people, warming the hearts of the people, and stabilizing the hearts of the people, profoundly understand the CPC's adherence to the people-centered development concept, unite our efforts, and form a mighty force of unity and indestructibility.

Liu Jianjun, a professor at the School of Marxism at Chinese Min University, believes that the Chinese Communists' lofty ideal of communism and the fundamental belief in the supremacy of the people are indispensable and equally important. "Members of the Communist Party of China must serve the people wholeheartedly, sacrifice everything personally, and strive for communism all their lives." This is the most accurate expression of the communists' beliefs in the Constitution of the Communist Party of China, which embodies the internal structure of the communists' beliefs and embodies the core position of the people first, the people as the center, and the people as the country in our belief system.
Chen Peiyong, vice dean of the School of Marxism at Peking University, believes that "people-centered" means adhering to the ruling concept of fairness and justice and common prosperity, and breaking the privileged thinking of power-centered, capital-centered, and minority-centered.
Adhering to the people-centered approach is not an abstract and esoteric concept, but is embodied in all aspects of economic and social development. It is necessary to give full play to the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the broad masses of the people and constantly push forward the cause of improving the people's well-being. Adhere to the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle, promote the fruits of reform and development to benefit all the people more and more fairly, promote more obvious substantive progress in common prosperity, and condense more than 1.4 billion Chinese people into a magnificent "country" for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Grasp the dialectical relationship between "Jiangshan" and "people"
General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on "Jiangshan is the people, and the people are Jiangshan" is the "key" for us to deeply understand that Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the "key" to contemporary Chinese Marxism and Marxism in the 21st century.
The idea of "the people's realistic happiness" is a continuation of Marx's simple "concept of human happiness" in his early years, and it is also the starting point for his exploration of the scientific "people's happiness concept". Xu Junfeng, general secretary of the Party Branch of the Marxist College of the Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, believes that Marx first proposed the concept of "the people's actual happiness" in the article "Introduction to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Law", and systematically revealed its philosophical, practical, and structural implications in other works, that is, "the people's actual happiness" is social, historical, and realistic happiness, and it is the true happiness of individual happiness and collective happiness, and the unity of free activity and spiritual pleasure, which can only be realized in the future communist society. The scientific thesis that "the people are the jiangshan and the jiangshan is the people" inherits and develops Marx's idea of "the people's realistic happiness", guides the Chinese communists to continuously expand and realize the true happiness of the people in the pursuit of the goal of jointly building and sharing common prosperity, and promotes the continuous deepening and sublimation of the practice of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and socialist modernization, and has made original contributions to Marxism.
"Jiangshan is the people, and the people are Jiangshan" shows the fundamental purpose of our party to serve the people wholeheartedly and shows the firm determination of communists in the new era not to forget their original intentions and keep their mission firmly in mind. Ding Xiaoqiang, professor at the School of Marxism of East China Normal University, believes that to guard the people's hearts well is to strengthen confidence, gather people's hearts, warm people's hearts, and build a common heart. The key to strengthening confidence lies in doing a good job in the self-revolution of communists; to gather the people's hearts and warm people's hearts, it is necessary to take the people as the center, solve the problems that the masses of the people are anxious about, difficult, and anxious about, and solve the problem of widening the gap between the rich and the poor; to build a common heart means to take the people as the main body, and the people's livelihood matters must be discussed and handled with the people.
Qiu Renfu, vice dean of the School of Marxism at Shanghai University, believes that the people are the creators of history and the fundamental motive force for social development, and only by relying on the people can we fight the country, sit on the country, and stabilize the country. To guard the country and mountains is to keep the people's position as the masters of their own affairs and to realize, protect, and develop well the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people; to guard the country and mountains is to guard the hearts of the people; in the historical journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, only by cohesiveness can we create a better life.
