The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people are inseparable

On October 1, 1949, at the founding ceremony of New China, when the marchers shouted "Long live the People's Republic" and "Long live Chairman Mao" across Chang'an Avenue, Mao Zedong's response on the Tiananmen Gate was to shout "Long live the people" and "Long live the comrades". This interactive scene is the real and symbolic relationship between the Chinese people and the Communist Party of China.
On March 22, 2019, Italian House of Representatives Speaker Fico asked visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping, "What kind of mood did you feel when you were elected President of China?" Xi's reply was, "I will live up to the people without me." The words are simple and profound, and they point out the spiritual core of the Chinese Communists-serving the people. From Mao Zedong's "long live the people" to Xi Jinping's "live up to the people", what condenses is the unchanging purpose of the Communist Party of China "serving the people wholeheartedly"; it highlights the goal of the Communist Party of China to seek happiness for the people in the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation Pursuit; what is condensed is the history of the struggle of the Communist Party of China and the people in the same boat and life and death.
The Communist Party of China has been established for nearly a hundred years, and the party and the people have long been inseparable as blood and meat, fish and water, seeds and land. As long as we have a deep understanding of China's modern history and compare China's yesterday and today without prejudice, we can understand the historical and practical meaning of "without the Communist Party, there would be no new China" and "without the Communist Party, there would be no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation", and we can understand the close relationship between the Communist Party of China and the people and its leading position, it is the common choice of the entire Chinese people, including the democratic parties, groups, nationalities, strata and people from all walks of life.
Born for the people and prospering because of the people is the fundamental reason why the Communist Party of China stands out from the torrent of history.
A correct understanding of the leadership of the Communist Party of China should begin with the history of China after 1840. The Chinese civilization has lasted for more than 5000 years, and the Chinese people have made indelible contributions to the progress of human civilization with their extraordinary creativity. However, after the Opium War, due to the aggression of the great powers and the decay of feudal rule, the Western invaders used to "set up a few cannons on a coast in the east to occupy a country." The Chinese people fell into a deep disaster under the bottomless plundering and bullying of the imperialist powers. In order to change this fate, the Chinese people carried out countless struggles, but from the Taiping Rebellion, the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898 to the Revolution of 1911, they all ended in failure. In order to save the nation from subjugation, more than 300 organizations with the nature of political parties appeared in the country in the early 20th century, and various western ideological trends have been tried. Various political systems, such as constitutional monarchy, feudal monarchy, presidential system, cabinet system, parliamentary system, multi-party system and so on, have appeared in turn, but none of them can solve the problem of the Chinese people's pursuit of national freedom and independence and liberation. It was not until China produced the Communist Party that it began to reverse the fate of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China regards the Chinese people's happiness and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its original intention and mission. It is deeply rooted in the people and has opened up the right path of relying on the people to promote the progress of history. The Communist Party of China has always adhered to the people's position. It is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. It has no self-interest and only seeks the great interests of the Chinese people. Li Dazhao, one of the founders of the Communist Party of China, once described the nature of the party in this way: "it is not a political party organized by politicians, nor a democratic party of the middle class, but a political party of ordinary workers." Another founder, Chen Duxiu, also wrote: "I think that the foundation of the Communist Party is built on the proletariat. In theory, it is naturally better than the foundation of a political party built on the property class." The Communist Party of China not only expounds this in theory, but also acts in practice. Peng Pai, the leader of the early peasant movement of the Party, burned his land deeds worth nearly 4 million yuan and gave the land to local farmers free of charge. During the most difficult Long March, three female Red Army soldiers cut off half of the only quilt and distributed it to the common people. When the Chinese nation faced the crisis of subjugation and extinction of Japanese aggression, the Communist Party of China most firmly issued a call to resist Japan and save the nation, supporting the hope of the whole nation with outstanding political leadership and correct strategic decisions. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, China was faced with the final battle of two futures and two destinies. Although the Kuomintang had the advantage of weapons and equipment and was supported by the United States, it had long lost the hearts of the people because of its dictatorship and corruption. The aspirations of the people have long been attributed to the Communist Party of China and its leadership. However, the political, economic, and social programs of the Communist Party have been highly recognized by the Chinese people. Even the democratic parties, which have always regarded themselves as centrists, have sobered up from the fantasy of "parliamentary politics and party politics in Britain and the United States" under the reality of the white terror of the Kuomintang. "there is absolutely no room for neutrality" in the struggle between the people and the anti-people ". In January 1949, 55 democrats, including Li Jishen and Shen Junru, arrived in the liberated areas and issued a statement that "under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, we are willing to contribute to the rapid success of the Chinese people's democratic revolution and the early realization of an independent, free, peaceful and happy China. On October 1, 1949, the Communist Party of China finally led the Chinese people out of a century of humiliation and won independence and freedom. The Chinese people chose the Communist Party of China as the core force to lead them.
Complying with the will of the people and responding to the expectations of the people is a distinct theme that runs through the ruling process of the Communist Party of China.
The ruling goal of the Communist Party of China is both grand and simple. Her ultimate goal is to realize communism, the loftiest ideal of mankind. Every practical policy of simplicity is to make people's lives better and better. No matter how great the challenges and pressures are, no matter how much sacrifice and price they pay, this is unswerving and unwavering. At the beginning of the founding of New China, Mao Zedong proposed that "history should prove that we can not only lead the revolutionary war, but also lead the economic construction in peacetime, so that the people of the whole country can live a good life." To this end, the Communist Party of China resolutely wants to work together, work together, and unite with the working people who account for the vast majority of the population, quickly heal the wounds of war, restore the national economy, carry out construction in a steamy manner, and creatively complete the new democracy. The transition from the socialist revolution to the socialist revolution has enabled China, a large eastern country with a 1/4 of the world's population, to enter a socialist society. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people of the whole country have worked hard to establish an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system under extremely difficult conditions. At the same time, the party united and led the people to carry out great system creation, established and consolidated a set of socialist political systems with distinctive Chinese characteristics, such as the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants, the system of people's Congress, the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the system of regional ethnic autonomy, and the system of grass-roots mass autonomy, Ensure that the people are always the masters of the country. Entering the new period of reform and opening up, the Communist Party of China insists on taking the people's support or disapproval, happiness or disapproval, and agreement or disapproval as the starting point and foothold for formulating principles and policies and making decisions. give full play to the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the broad masses of the people, unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups to open up the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and find a broad road for the contemporary Chinese people to catch up with the times and lead the development, it has created a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that has impressed the world. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has closely relied on the people to promote historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the state, and to push socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era. General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared that "the people's yearning for a better life is our goal". The Communist Party of China adheres to the people-centered development thought, and takes solving the contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development as the focus and foothold of its work. Adhere to "what the people care about and expect, what reforms must grasp and promote", start the fight against poverty and pollution prevention, and establish the world's largest education system, housing security system, and basic medical security system. The fight against corruption is carried out to the end, so that the people can share the fruits of economic, political, cultural, social, ecological and other aspects of development, there are more, more direct and more real sense of gain, happiness and security, and constantly promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all the people.
Everything for the people and everything depends on the people is the source of strength for the Communist Party of China to lead the Chinese people to realize national rejuvenation.
Today, China is closer to and more confident and capable of realizing the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. However, the road ahead will inevitably have all kinds of thorns and bumps and chaos flying. The more arduous the task, the more we must adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and the more we must always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "as long as our party always governs for the people and relies on the people to govern, it will be invincible".
The leadership of the party is the mainstay and the needle of the sea. In a big country like China, without a unified and strong leadership, it will only fall apart and accomplish nothing. An important reason why Japanese militarism dared to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China was that China had long been in a situation of fragmentation. In the current era of globalization, the great practice of the Party in leading the Chinese people to fight the new coronary pneumonia epidemic has once again proved that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity of the nation and the happiness and well-being of the people, and is the most reliable backbone and fixed star of the Chinese people when the storm strikes. As long as we unswervingly maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the masses of the people, more than 1.4 billion Chinese people will certainly be able to form a strong joint force and calmly deal with various complex situations and risks and challenges until they win the final victory.
The masses of the people are the solid foundation and the greatest confidence for the long-term governance of the Communist Party of China. The Communist Party of China has always taken the people's position as its fundamental political position, insisted that the party's foundation lies in the people, its blood lies in the people, and its strength lies in the people. It firmly believes that the people are the great power to create history, and has won the heartfelt support and firm support of the overwhelming majority of the people. Under the banner of the party, the Chinese people have made concerted efforts and worked together. They have annihilated the ferocious invaders in the vast ocean of the people's war. They have also completed the industrialization process of developed countries for hundreds of years in a few decades. In the face of the raids of the new coronavirus, the Chinese people's solidarity once again showed great power, "angel white", "olive green", "guardian blue" and "volunteer red" quickly assembled, and the people of the whole country thought from one place to another, pushing China to take the lead in achieving major strategic results in the fight against the epidemic. As long as the party closely relies on the people and fully stimulates the indomitable spirit, perseverance and outstanding creation of the broad masses of the people, it will certainly be able to continuously create new historical glory of the Chinese nation. this is the source of strength and future hope for the Communist Party of China to overcome difficulties, create miracles, and constantly contribute to China and the world.
China's magnificent historical development process and the great practice of revolution, construction, and reform in the past 100 years have and will continue to prove that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is not self-appointed, but the choice of history and the people, and it is a completely correct choice. Facing the future, the Communist Party of China is a Marxist ruling party that has always been at the forefront of the times, wholeheartedly supported by the people, has the courage to self-revolution, can withstand the tests of various storms, and is vigorous. The Communist Party of China has always walked with the people and led the way for the people. Any attempt by any force to provoke the relationship between the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people, separate and oppose the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people, is not only doomed to futility, but also the Chinese people will never agree!
