Practice has no end, and theoretical innovation has no end. On the basis of summarizing historical experience, the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed the "Six Musts to Adhere to", providing a scientific method for continuing to promote the theoretical innovation of the Party.
"We must adhere to the principle of putting the people first" is one of the "Six Musts". The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes that "the theory of the Party comes from the people, serves the people, and benefits the people, and the creative practice of the people is an inexhaustible source of theoretical innovation.".Continuing to promote the theoretical innovation of the Party must adhere to the mass line, and we must not engage in closed door discussions, sit idly by, or indulge in daydreams. We must respect the pioneering spirit of the people, pay attention to summarizing new experiences from the creative practices of the people, elevate them to rational understanding, extract new theoretical achievements, and strive to make the innovative theories of the Party deeply rooted in the hearts of millions of people, becoming grounded, gathering people's wisdom, following public opinion, and winning the hearts of the people.
Looking back at history, our party has always adhered to the people's position in the process of promoting theoretical innovation; Facing the future, our party always adheres to the principle of putting the people first, continues to promote theoretical innovation based on practice, and continuously opens up new horizons for the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
The reason why Marxism has a lasting and powerful influence is because it is rooted in the people and points out the human right path of relying on the people to promote historical progress. Marxism is a theory that speaks for the people and represents them. It was founded to change the fate of the people and enriched and developed in the practice of the people's liberation. Marx and Engels pointed out in the Communist Manifesto that "the proletarian movement is an independent movement for the benefit of the vast majority of people.". Lenin proposed that it is the broad masses of the people who determine the outcome of history. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out that "another significant symbol that distinguishes us Communists from any other political party is the closest connection we have with the broadest masses of the people.".Since its establishment, our party has united and led the people in revolution, construction, and reform, with the fundamental purpose of enabling the people to live a better life. No matter how great challenges and pressures we face, no matter how much sacrifice and cost we pay, this point remains unwavering and unwavering. Looking back at the history of the Party, our Party has always adhered to the position of the people, combined the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities, and combined them with China's excellent traditional culture. We have continuously promoted the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and deepened our understanding of theoretical innovation experience and laws. For more than a hundred years, the people of the CPC have remained steadfast in their original aspiration and determination, firmly standing on the people's position, taking the people's aspiration for a better life as the goal of struggle, and moving forward towards the grand goal of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. Our party adheres to the principle of putting the people first, continues to promote theoretical innovation, and strives to achieve the people's aspirations for a better life. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has united and led billions of people to win the battle against poverty as scheduled, complete the historical task of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, achieve the first centenary goal, embark on a new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country, and march towards the second centenary goal. On the new journey, we must further implement the development concept of putting the people at the center, put the promotion of common prosperity for all people in a more prominent position, adhere to doing our best and according to our abilities, gradually and persistently, and make more significant and substantial progress in promoting common prosperity in promoting high-quality development.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a political declaration and action plan for the Party to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in China to achieve new victories in socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is a guiding document of Marxism and proposes major principles that must be firmly grasped on the path forward. One of them is to "adhere to the development concept of putting the people at the center", emphasizing "safeguarding the fundamental interests of the people, enhancing people's well-being, continuously achieving development for the people, relying on the people, and sharing development achievements with the people, so that the achievements of modernization construction can more and more fairly benefit all the people.". At the same time, adhering to the principle of putting the people first is also reflected in various parts of the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. For example, promoting a new type of urbanization centered on people and accelerating the urbanization of agricultural transfer population; To provide education that satisfies the people and adhere to the development of education centered on the people; Developing people's democracy throughout the entire process and ensuring that the people are the masters of their own country; Adhere to the people-centered creative orientation and launch more excellent works that enhance the spiritual power of the people; Enhance people's well-being and improve their quality of life; Wait a minute. These innovative theoretical achievements clearly reflect the adherence to the people's position.
As creators of history, the people are not only creators of material wealth, but also creators of spiritual wealth. The achievements of the sinicization and modernization of Marxism are the crystallization of the practical experience and collective wisdom of the Party and the people. Facing the future, continuing to promote theoretical innovation based on practice, and continuously composing a new chapter in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, we must stand firm in the people's position, grasp their wishes, respect their creativity, concentrate their wisdom, and form theories that the people love, identify with, and possess, making them a powerful ideological weapon to guide the people in understanding and transforming the world.
