　　"We must uphold the supremacy of the people", "adhere to the people-centered development idea", "the country is the people, and the people are the country"... In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the word "people" appeared more than 170 times.

　　Seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.

The Chinese Communist Party has no special interests of its own, and puts the interests of the masses first at all times. This is the lofty state of "I will have no self", and it is the mission of "living up to the people".

No self, is the same color

　　"The Communist Party of China is the party of the people and a party that serves the people" - On October 26, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to northern Shaanxi again, and faced the villagers in Nangou Village, Gaoqiao Town, Ansai District, Yan'an. Affectionate.

　　When jumping in the queue in Yan'an, there was an article that Xi Jinping read and read repeatedly.

This is "Serving the People".

The article wrote: "Our team is completely for the liberation of the people, and it works thoroughly for the interests of the people."

　　It was in Yan'an that the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China wrote "the spirit of serving the Chinese people wholeheartedly" into the party constitution for the first time.

As the fundamental purpose of the Chinese Communists, "serve the people", it was later engraved on the screen wall inside the Xinhua Gate in Zhongnanhai.

　　The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that "the nature of the people is the essential attribute of Marxism" and "benefiting the people is the essential requirement of building the party for the public and governing for the people"...

　　The story of the half quilt is timeless.

　　In September 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was visiting Hunan, made a special trip to visit the home of Xu Jiexiu's grandson, Zhu Xiaohong.

The brand-new three-storey building, the family's smiles, tell the story of earth-shaking changes.

　　"In the past, the Red Army gave us half a quilt, but now the Party has brought us a happy life." Zhu Xiaohong's simple words expressed her heart.

　　"Communists will cut off half of a quilt and give it to the common people... It is precisely in this way that the common people regard the Communist Party as their own party and the party of the common people." General Secretary Xi Jinping said firmly.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has followed the path of the Communists time and time again, tracing the original mission of the Party——

　　In December 2017, revisit the "victory rolled out by a small cart" at the Huaihai Battle Memorial Hall; in September 2021, reminisce about "sit your buttocks on the side of the common people" at the former site of the Suide District Committee of the Communist Party of China; in 2022 In August, at the Liaoshen Battle Memorial Hall, I sighed "We can't eat such apples now"...

　　"Whenever you move forward, you must not forget the path you have traveled; no matter how far you go, and no matter how glorious the future is, you must not forget the past you have traveled, and you must not forget why you started." General Secretary Xi Jinping answered deeply with his affectionate words The proposition of "who am I, for whom, and whom I rely on" is revealed, which demonstrates the political qualities of the Chinese Communists.

Selflessness is for the welfare of the people

　　"Come and see you, let's talk about homework." On the eve of the 2022 Spring Festival, facing the fluttering snowflakes, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into Cai Wenming's home in Duan Village, Shanxi.

　　"How about the income of raising sheep?" "Aside from raising sheep, what else can I grow?" The general secretary and Lao Cai's family sat around the living room, calculating the income and expenditure one by one.

　　"The only choice for the Communist Party of China to be in power is to do good deeds for the people, and to work hard, contribute, and serve for the people's happy life." The words of the general secretary warmed the hearts of the people.

　　Ten years ago, it was also a cold winter season. Xi Jinping, who had just assumed the post of general secretary, came to Fuping in the depths of the Taihang Mountains against the wind and snow to "see the real poverty" and issued a mobilization order for poverty alleviation.

　　Twice on the snow, all the way for the people.

　　The charge on the Luding Bridge was for "the world of the poor"; the heroic sacrifice of the martyrs was for the establishment of an ideal country where "wealth will replace poverty, and health will replace disease"...For more than a hundred years, the Communists have done everything " The struggle and sacrifice of "No Self" are all for the well-being of the people.

　　"The people's yearning for a better life is our goal." On November 15, 2012, when General Secretary Xi Jinping took office, he began to write the "answer sheet" for the new era with such sincere and simple words.

　　I will remember what the people worry about; I will act on what the people hope for.

　　In the past ten years, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to the grassroots to visit the poor and ask the poor again and again, to observe the people's situation, listen to the people's voice, and accept the people's opinions, just to "make the people's life better day by day, and get better every year."

　　This is the affectionate confession of the Chinese Communists in the new era - "I am willing to achieve a state of 'no self' and dedicate myself to the development of China."

　　Zhang Guimei, who illuminates the schooling path of girls in mountainous areas regardless of illness, and Zhang Dingyu, the "people's hero" who struggles with the epidemic with his "frozen body", is the first village resident who is in his youth and has fixed his life on the road to poverty alleviation. Secretary Huang Wenxiu...

　　A "selfless" person has nine deaths and no regrets, and has achieved a wonderful answer to the "big country".

　　The average life expectancy has increased to 78.2 years; the per capita disposable income of residents has increased from 16,500 yuan to 35,100 yuan; the average annual increase in urban employment has exceeded 13 million; the world's largest education system, social security system, medical and health system, and education system have been established. The level of popularization has achieved a historic leap, the basic pension insurance covers 1.04 billion people, and the participation rate of basic medical insurance is stable at 95%. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China listed a heavy report card.

　　The hearts of the party and the people are connected, and the national policy resonates with the opinions of the people.

According to polls conducted by the Harvard Kennedy School in China for 10 consecutive years, Chinese people's satisfaction with the government has remained above 90% year after year.

　　"The greatest happiness in the world is to strive for the happiness of the people." This is the source of strength for a century-old party to overcome obstacles and the foundation of belief for generations of communists.

Selflessness is the source of strength

　　The majestic Pagoda Mountain and the rolling Yanhe River.

Yan'an, the Holy Land of Revolution, has witnessed a political party from being weak to strong, from narrowly escaped death to thriving.

Many people have visited this hot land to search for the code of "why the Chinese Communist Party can".

　　The answer is as simple as this yellow land——

　　Once, Edgar Snow, the author of "Red Stars Shine on China", said with emotion: The Chinese Communist Party can always draw strength from the majority of the people.

　　Today, the world's largest political party, which has gone through a century of brilliance and governed a country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, is as firm as ever in this regard-"On the way forward, no matter whether it is stormy or stormy, the people will always be our most solid support and the strongest confidence."

　　Without self, condense the majestic centripetal force.

　　How powerful is a 14-year-old girl?

　　On the night of April 20, 1949, the Battle of Crossing the River started.

The Kuomintang army never expected that more than 20,000 boatmen risked their lives to transport the People's Liberation Army across the river.

The youngest boatman is 14-year-old sister Ma Mao.

　　History clearly records this kind of power—at the critical moment, it is the choice of countless "Ma Mao sisters" to turn things around.

　　In the year of Gengzi, when the epidemic suddenly hit, hundreds of millions of people consciously stayed at home to prevent and control, countless community workers were on duty day and night, the vast number of scientific researchers worked hard to tackle key problems, and thousands of volunteers silently contributed..."To overcome this epidemic, give us It is the Chinese people who have strength and confidence."

　　The victory in the Battle of Huaihai was achieved by ordinary people using small carts, the victory in the Battle of Crossing the River was achieved by ordinary people using small boats, and the victory in socialist modernization was achieved by the masses of the people with their hands.

　　General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "The great achievements of the new era are the result of the party and the people working together, doing it, and fighting for it!"

　　Without self, it gives birth to unlimited creativity.

　　From April 15th to May 16th, the party's 20th National Congress related work network solicitation activities were carried out.

　　This is the first time in the history of the party that the work related to the party's national congress has been publicly solicited from the whole party and society.

With the active participation of the people, a total of more than 8.542 million comments and 290 million words of various opinions and suggestions were collected during the event.

　　How to jump out of the historical cycle rate of the rise and fall of chaos?

Comrade Mao Zedong once gave an answer in the cave in Yan'an, which is to let the people supervise the government.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has given the second answer in the practice of comprehensively and strictly governing the party, which is the party's self-revolution.

　　Two answers spanning time and space reveal the secret of the century-old party's eternal vitality——

　　Because "I have no special interests of my own", I am willing to be open and honest, and accept the supervision of the people; because I "have no special interests of my own", I have the courage and confidence to dare to turn the blade inward and revolutionize myself.

　　"Along the way, we have relied closely on the people to hand over answer sheets that have been recorded in history one after another. Looking into the future, we still have to rely on the people to create new historical achievements."

　　On the new journey, we will always be in the same boat with the people through thick and thin, have a heart-to-heart relationship with the people, always think about what the people think, and do what the people want. The Chinese Communists will surely write new glories.
