　　At around 9:20 am on March 17, 2013, at the closing meeting of the First Session of the Twelfth National People's Congress, the newly elected President of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Xi Jinping, delivered an important speech in front of nearly 3,000 NPC deputies.

　　"I know very well that to hold the lofty position of the president of the country has a glorious mission and a great responsibility. I will faithfully perform the duties entrusted by the constitution, be loyal to the motherland, be loyal to the people, fulfill my duties, serve the people, and do my best for the country, and consciously accept it. People's supervision will never fail to live up to the trust and trust of the representatives and the people of all ethnic groups in the country."

　　Powerful words and solemn commitments echoed in the Great Hall of the People.

　　Five years later, Xi Jinping, who was unanimously elected as President of the State and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, delivered an important speech again: "I will, as always, faithfully perform the duties entrusted by the Constitution, be loyal to the motherland, loyal to the people, perform duties, do my best, work diligently, serve sincerely, and be the people. The attendant of the NPC will accept the supervision of the people, and will never fail to live up to the trust and trust of the representatives and the people of all ethnic groups in the country!"

　　With a speech of less than 5,000 words, the audience burst into waves of applause 21 times...

　　At about 10:50 a.m. on March 17, 2018, Xi Jinping stood on the rostrum of the Great Hall of the People in a dark suit and purple-red tie.

　　This is the first time that the Constitutional Oath-taking ceremony has been held at the National People's Congress since the implementation of the Constitutional Oath System, and it is also the first time that a President of the People's Republic of China has taken the Constitutional Oath.

　　The national emblem hangs high and shines brightly.

　　In these two important speeches and a constitutional oath, "loyalty to the motherland and the people" was a clear main line, and the word "people" appeared 131 times.

　　"My governing philosophy can be summed up as: to serve the people and to take responsibility." The supremacy of the people is not only the sincere feelings of General Secretary Xi Jinping, but also the governing philosophy he has always upheld.

2. The seating arrangement is exquisite

　　The picture shows the scene when General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberation of the Guangxi delegation on March 8, 2015.

Except for a few responsible comrades from the autonomous region, most of the people sitting in the "inner circle" of the venue are grass-roots front-line representatives.

Among them, there are the secretary of the village party organization, there are college students village officials, and there are middle school teachers...

　　In fact, such an arrangement has become the norm.

General Secretary Xi Jinping discussed the country with the deputies, asking about the "worries" and "troubling things" of the common people, and reading about the warmth of the people and the needs of the people—

　　Face-to-face with the village party secretary, migrant workers, model workers, and teachers to listen to the grassroots situation; have in-depth discussions with private entrepreneurs, leading technology talents, and returnee entrepreneurs to understand the most cutting-edge information; Na, build the biggest consensus...

　　In 2016, the delegation from Hunan asked Guo Jianqun, the female representative of the Miao nationality, about the problem of “leaving off the order” of the elderly in Shibadong Village; A septic tank for each household?" Learn more about the renovation of villagers' indoor toilets; in 2021, when participating in the CPPCC Joint Group Meeting, I will have in-depth exchanges with CPPCC members such as "students addicted to online games" and "chaos in off-campus training institutions"...

　　Here are the unforgettable 20 minutes --

　　"Where is Guide County?"

　　"You're talking about the conflict mediation team, right?"

　　"Is Qinghai's brick and tile production surplus or balanced?"

　　"Did the government give you subsidies?"

　　"What crops are you growing now?"

　　"Did the price of beef and mutton drop last year?"

　　In the Qinghai delegation in 2016, when General Secretary Xi Jinping communicated with Representative Bi Shengzhong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dashijia Village, Heyin Town, Guide County, Qinghai Province, he asked no less than 6 questions in a series of questions, and the interaction lasted for 20 minutes!

　　From grassroots governance, to agricultural production, to market prices... The general secretary asked such a detailed and deep question, which Bi Shengzhong never expected.

　　Here are two similar photos -

　　"I want to report one more thing."

　　"You talk." The general secretary said.

　　In 2017, after the Xinjiang delegation, representatives of Maimaiti Yibureyimu and Maimaitiming finished their speeches, they seized the opportunity to report to General Secretary Xi Jinping.

　　"Uncle Kurban came to Beijing to meet Chairman Mao. I met Chairman Xi today..." The scene broke out into warm applause.

　　At the meeting, Maimaiti Yibreimu showed the general secretary the photo of the "family portrait" brought by Uncle Kurban's family: "Our local people of all ethnic groups will always remember the kindness of the party, which must be as tight as pomegranate seeds. hug tightly."

　　"It's really prosperous." General Secretary Xi Jinping looked at the photo and said with a smile.

　　In the same year, during the deliberation of the Sichuan delegation, Luo Yunlian, a female representative of the Yi nationality, also brought several photos to the general secretary, which is a new look of the reconstruction after the Lushan earthquake.

　　The general secretary got up to take the photo and looked at it carefully.

In the photo, the newly built school, the beautiful residential building, and the gratitude stone with the five characters "Always follow the party" stands at the entrance of Qinglongchang Village... After seeing it, the general secretary said, "I am very happy to be reborn from the ashes!"

　　"I have accepted everyone's 'invitation cards', and I will definitely go when I have the opportunity." - The general secretary said this at the National Two Sessions, and he did the same.

　　In 2018, the representative Zhao Huijie from the Inner Mongolia delegation proudly told the general secretary about the changes in the village, and also warmly invited the general secretary to take a look at the village.

　　Unexpectedly, in July of the second year, the general secretary arrived as scheduled.

During the inspection in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, General Secretary Xi Jinping and 10 representatives of grass-roots cadres and the masses sat around the farmyard for discussions and exchanges, including Zhao Huijie.

　　"I have always kept your invitation in my heart. Today, I am here to fulfill the contract to see the production and living conditions of the villagers on the spot." Zhao Huijie was deeply moved by the general secretary's remarks.

　　During the two sessions, after General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberation of the delegation, he always selected some of these provinces for field investigation——

　　In 2015, the Jilin delegation talked about the economic and social development of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. Four months later, they came to Changbai Mountain "as promised" to discuss reform and development plans;

　　In 2017, when participating in the deliberation of the Sichuan delegation, I learned about the progress of poverty alleviation in Yi District from representatives from Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. On the eve of the Spring Festival the following year, the general secretary went deep into the hinterland of Daliangshan to inspect poverty alleviation and economic and social development;

　　In 2018, the Shandong delegation listened to a report on technological innovation. More than three months later, the general secretary came to Qilu Land to encourage enterprises to stick to the road of independent innovation and point out the path of innovation and development for enterprises;

　　In 2021, during the deliberation of the Qinghai delegation, ecological protection is still an important part of the general secretary's discussion. In June of the same year, the general secretary went to Qinghai for an inspection, in order to further promote the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

　　...

　　With the voice of the people, go to the people.

General Secretary Xi Jinping set an example and set an example for the whole party to carry forward a pragmatic style and conduct in-depth investigation and research.
