The seventh issue of Qiushi magazine, published on 1 April, will publish an important article by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, state president, and chairman of the Central military Commission, entitled "We must uphold the supremacy of the people." This is an excerpt from General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition during the period from November 2012 to December 2023. The article emphasizes that the people are the creators of history and the people are real heroes. Our party comes from the people, takes root in the people and serves the people. The foundation of the party lies in the people, its blood lies in the people, and its strength lies in the people. The people are the greatest strength for our party to be in power, the solid foundation of our republic, and the foundation for strengthening the party and rejuvenating the country. The people's yearning for a better life is our goal. The original intention and mission of the Chinese Communists is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. This original intention and mission are the fundamental driving force that motivates the Chinese Communists to move forward. The article points out that rivers and mountains are the people and the people are rivers and mountains. To fight and guard the rivers and mountains is to guard the hearts of the people. The people's stand is Communist Party of China's fundamental political stand and a remarkable symbol that distinguishes Marxist political parties from other political parties. Apart from the interests of the people, the party does not have its own special interests, and all the work of the party is to realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. We must adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, implement the mass line, respect the dominant position of the people and the spirit of initiative, always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the people, be in the same boat with the people, be heart to heart with the people, think about what the people think, carry out the people's orders, and constantly turn the people's yearning for a better life into reality. The article points out that the people are the decisive force in building a modern socialist power in an all-round way. We must adhere to the joint participation, joint construction and common enjoyment of all the people, and closely rely on the concerted efforts of all the people to contribute to the great cause. It is necessary to actively develop people's democracy throughout the process, adhere to the organic unity of the leadership of the party, the people being the masters of the country, and running the country according to law, improve the system of people being the masters of the country, and fully stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of all the people. We should implement the idea of people-centered development, solve the problem of the people's urgent difficulties and aspirations, make the achievements of modernization more equitably benefit all the people, and constantly make more obvious and substantial progress in promoting the common prosperity of all the people. We will continue to consolidate and develop the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups and the great unity of the sons and daughters of China at home and abroad, fully mobilize all positive factors, and gather the majestic forces of building a strong country and national rejuvenation. * * (
