Original aspiration as firm as a rock: The two words “the people” carry immense weight

This commentary article centers on the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, reviewing the Party's more than centurylong journey of always upholding a peoplecentered development philosophy. The article unfolds across three stages—revolution, construction, and the new era—emphasizing that the Party's struggle has always been to secure happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. The article points out that in the revolutionary years, Communists made tremendous sacrifices to rescue the people from hardship and fight for their liberation; during the period of construction, the Party led the masses in solving basic food and clothing needs, developing education and industry, and improving fundamental living conditions; after entering the new era, initiatives such as poverty alleviation, rural revitalization, and common prosperity have continued to advance, while livelihood保障 and public services have been steadily improved. Finally, the article emphasizes that in the face of new needs and new challenges on the new journey ahead, Party members and cadres should continue to firmly uphold the people's standpoint, translate the concerns of the masses into concrete actions, respond to people's expectations with a pragmatic work style, and promote social development that benefits the people more broadly.
