All Party comrades must adhere to the people's position and prioritize the people
All Party comrades must adhere to the people's position and prioritize the people, persistently do practical things and do good deeds for the people, and always maintain close ties with the people.
This passage comes from the speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the awarding ceremony of the "July 1 Medal" celebrating the 100 anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China on June 29, 2021.
This requires us party members, especially leading cadres, to never forget our original intentions, always adhere to the people's position and putting the people first, maintain close ties with the people, work hard with heart and emotion to do practical things for the people, strive to achieve, maintain, and develop the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, and promote the effectiveness of theme education.
The people's position is the fundamental political position of the CPC. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party and state have achieved historic achievements and undergone historic changes. Whether it is winning the battle against poverty, building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, promoting high-quality economic development, solidly promoting common prosperity, or developing people's democracy throughout the process, improving the social governance system of co construction, co governance and sharing, and vigorously promoting ecological civilization construction, these changes that ordinary people can feel are vivid practices of the Party's people's position. China has established the world's largest basic medical insurance system. In the past five years, the participation rate of basic medical insurance in China has remained stable at around 95%, while the participation rates of low-income rural populations and poverty-stricken populations have remained stable at over 99%. In order to ensure food security and enable grain farmers to benefit in a timely manner, since 2021, the central government has issued a total of 70 billion yuan in one-time subsidies to grain farmers, weaving a strong network of benefits for farmers. In the first quarter of this year, the per capita disposable income of residents in China was 10870 yuan, a nominal increase of 5.1% compared to the same period last year. The per capita disposable income of rural residents continued to maintain a growth momentum, and the relative income gap between urban and rural residents continued to narrow... Ensuring a good life for the people runs through all aspects and links of our party and state governance.
The essence of learning lies in practice. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China puts "putting the people first" as the top priority in the "six musts".We must integrate the principle of "putting the people first" throughout the entire process of the Party's governance and rejuvenation of the country, and do practical and meticulous work that benefits people's livelihoods, warms the hearts of the people, and conforms to public opinion. Adhere to the mass line, promote the trend of investigation and research, apply the Party's innovative theory to study new situations, solve new problems, summarize new experiences, and continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security.
