Abstract: In the different periods of revolution,construction and reform in the century since its founding,Communist Party of China (CPC) has always adhered to the theoretical basis of Marxist historical materialism and carried out continuous maintenance and innovation in the light of China's specific practice.It takes the dominant position of the people as its consistent position,people's yearning for a better life as its goal,and its original aspiration and mission as its fundamental attribute,forming and perfecting the people-centered development thought in constantly dealing with practical problems.At the same time,the people-oriented consciousness in Chinese traditional culture has the positive factor of caring for the people.The people-centered development thought inherits the Chinese traditional people-centered consciousness,which is reflected in attaching importance to the interests of the people,to the rule of virtue,and to the rule of law.The people-centered development thought profoundly grasps the practical logic in the new era,and continues to develop the mass view of the CPC in the past.Being the latest achievement of Sinicization of Marxism,it provides new methodological guidance for actively responding to the changes of the principal contradictions in China's society in the new era,for deepening the supply-side structural reform,for targeted poverty-alleviation,for improving global governance,and for combating the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key words: people-centered, socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Communist Party of China, community with a shared future for mankind
