　　When attending the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation to the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "the whole party and society should be stimulated to create vitality and the entrepreneurial spirit of cadres and officials in party member should be boosted". Creativity is an important power source for the development of individuals, nations and countries. It is the glorious tradition of our party to stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the whole party and the people of all nationalities to participate in socialist modernization to the maximum extent, and it is also the foundation of our party’s long-term governance.

　　Adhere to the people’s dominant position and respect the people’s initiative.

　　People are the creators of history and the fundamental force to promote the development of history. Marx and Engels pointed out that "activities and thoughts in history are ‘ The masses ’ Thoughts and activities of … … Historical activities are the cause of the masses, and with the deepening of historical activities, it will certainly be the expansion of the masses. " The creators of material wealth and spiritual wealth and the decisive force to promote social change and progress are by no means a few heroes, but the tens of thousands of people in Qian Qian. The reason why Marxism has cross-country and cross-era influence is because it is rooted in the people and points out the right path of relying on the people to promote historical progress.

　　For more than a hundred years, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has always adhered to and developed the Marxist people’s view, and always maintained the distinctive qualities of Marxist political parties. Comrade Mao Zedong put forward: "Serve the people wholeheartedly and never leave the masses for a moment;" Everything starts from the interests of the people, not from the interests of individuals or small groups; Consistency of being responsible to the people and to the leading organs of the party; These are our starting points. " Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "None of the major tasks put forward by our party has been accomplished without the hard work of the broad masses of people." "I believe that anything that conforms to the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of people and is supported by the broad masses of people, no matter how many difficulties there are on the road ahead, will certainly succeed."

　　Entering a new era, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "One of the guiding ideology of communist party’s work is to respect the initiative of the masses, and the masses are real heroes." "The mass line essentially embodies the basic principle of Marxism that the people are the creators of history. Only by adhering to this basic principle can we grasp the basic law of historical progress. Only by acting according to the laws of history can we be invincible. History has repeatedly proved that the people are the main force of historical development and social progress. " These important expositions are the expression of the Marxist view of the masses in the new era, which is of great significance for inspiring the whole party and the people of all nationalities to stand at a new starting point and create a new future.

　　Practice the mass line, persist in development, and rely on the unity of the people for the sake of people and development.

　　The practice of the masses is the most abundant and vivid practice, and there is great wisdom and strength among the masses. For more than 100 years, in the great journey of promoting China’s revolution, construction and reform, adhering to the people’s dominant position and fully mobilizing the people’s enthusiasm have always been the strong foundation for our party to remain invincible and the foundation for our party to govern and rejuvenate the country. During the revolutionary war years, Comrade Mao Zedong creatively applied the Party’s mass line to the field of military war, and made a major conclusion in On Protracted War that "the deepest root of the great power of war lies among the people". It was by widely mobilizing the masses that we finally won the victory of the people’s war. Since the reform and opening up, from the household contract responsibility system initiated by farmers in Xiaogang village, Fengyang county, Anhui province, to the sudden emergence of township enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces with the spirit of "four thousand" … … The pioneering spirit of the people has promoted system innovation and practical exploration again and again, and has become the "motive force" of reform.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Only by adhering to the people-centered development thought, insisting that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people, can we have a correct concept of development and modernization." Marxist concept of development regards people as both the driving force and the goal of development, and the ultimate goal of modernization is to realize the free and all-round development of people. In the new era, our party has been able to ride the wind and waves, withstand the risks and challenges from politics, economy, ideology and nature, and win a series of historic victories, such as the battle against poverty, the battle against the blue sky and the battle against reform, because it has always stood with the people, wanted to be together and worked together, inspiring the wisdom contained in the people and rallying their strength. All great achievements are made by the Party and the people together, which embodies the people’s intelligence, soaks the people’s hard work and sweat, contains the people’s great sacrifice, and shows the people’s spirit of striving for self-improvement and creating a better life.

　　Stimulate the entrepreneurial vitality of officers and continuously inject strong impetus into high-quality development.

　　The people will always be our greatest reliance to overcome all difficulties and challenges. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "Chinese modernization is the cause of all the people in China, and we must rely on the people closely, gather the infinite wisdom and strength contained in them, and fully stimulate the historical initiative of all the people". Facing the stormy international environment and arduous domestic reform, development and stability tasks, all kinds of risk challenges and difficult problems are more severe and complicated than before. Only by stimulating the enthusiasm of the whole society for innovation and creativity to the maximum extent and constantly cultivating new kinetic energy for development can we open a new world of career development, achieve a new atmosphere of starting, and inject inexhaustible motivation and vitality into promoting high-quality development.

　　Do a good job in investigation and study, and consciously learn from the people. Investigation and research is the heirloom of our party and the basic skill of doing all the work well. Unifying the top-level design with the consideration of the people through investigation and research is a valuable experience accumulated by our party in the long-term practice of revolution, construction and reform, and has also become an important principle that must be adhered to in governing the country in the new era. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in "Rural Survey" that "I must be respectful, hardworking and adopt a gay attitude when I am a student for them, otherwise they will ignore me, keep silent and talk endlessly". The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed, "We should worship the people as teachers, learn from the people, put down our airs, throw ourselves down, be grounded, understand the situation, conduct in-depth investigation and study, dissect sparrows, find typical examples, truly find out the problems faced by the masses, reflect their opinions and sum up the experience created by the masses." In the investigation and study of the whole party, we must adhere to the party’s mass line, consciously learn from the masses, learn from practice, gain a correct understanding from the people’s creative practice, and turn the party’s correct ideas into the conscious actions of the masses.

　　Deepen the reform of key areas and stimulate innovation and creation with the system. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the comprehensive deepening of reform, the atmosphere of innovation and creation in the whole society has become more and more intense. Adhering to the core position of innovation in the overall situation of China’s modernization needs to stimulate the initiative spirit of "being the first in the world" and protect the indomitable practical courage. We should further deepen the reform of science and technology system, education system, talent system, etc., open up the blocking points that hinder the development of new quality productive forces, play the leading role of innovation in a wider scope, at a higher level and at a deeper level, base ourselves on reality and combine the resource endowments and development characteristics of different regions, and strive to find effective ways to solve new contradictions and problems. Comply with the new trend of the times, the new requirements of practical development and the new expectations of the people, make precise, concerted and sustained efforts, resolutely break down all institutional and institutional obstacles that restrict the smooth progress of Chinese modernization, and continue to inject strong momentum into promoting high-quality development and promoting Chinese modernization.
