The “people-oriented” thought is an integral part of China’s fine
traditional culture, in which there are core values such as attaching
importance to the power of people, the interests and demands of people,
people’s support and public opinion, and so on. However, it has the historical
limitations of upholding class rule. The Communist Party of China (CPC)
practices the “two integrations” (integrations of the basic tenets of Marxism
with China’s specific realities and fine traditional culture), adheres to the
basic viewpoint that “the masses are the creators of history”, attaches
importance to the historical role of the masses, relies on the people, protects
civil rights, and tries every effort to improve people’s livelihood. Thus, it
establishes the fundamental purpose of “serving the people wholeheartedly” and
makes a new Marxist interpretation of the traditional “people-oriented”
thought. While inheriting the rational core values of the “people-oriented”
thought, it has realized its innovative development and creative
transformation: the traditional thought of “people-orientation” is an expedient
tool of the ruling class, yet the fundamental purpose of the CPC is based on
the highly unified interests and will of the Party and the people; the
“people-oriented” thought depends on the moral self-discipline of the ruling
class, yet the implementation of CPC’s fundamental purpose is determined by its
class attribute; the “people-oriented” thought is pragmatic as a tool, yet the
fundamental purpose of CPC is the truth proved by the new democratic revolution.
Comparing the two, the fundamental purpose of CPC is to transcend the thought
of “people-orientation”, from a “boat-water” relationship to “fish-water”
relationship. Putting the people above all else, practicing the “two
integrations”, CPC’s fundamental purpose has got new connotation in the new
era, with “serving the people wholeheartedly” at a new height.
