The paper carries out a comprehensive and systematic study on the thought of "For the People" of the Communist Party of China(CPC),according to the author's investigation into the history of the thought,perception of its nature and ideas on how CPC should respond to the challenges in the future.The theoretical origin of the thought of "For the People" of the CPC includes not merely Marx and Engels' proletarian party doctrine and Lenin and Stalin's Party-building theories but also the people-oriented thoughts of ancient China and thoughts of civil rights of modern China.It also incorporates ideas from western humanism ideology,theories of political democracy,and CPC's profound summarization of ruling experiences of other political parties.The historical development of the CPC's "For the People" thought can be divided into three periods,namely,presentation and exposition(formation)period(1921-1949),enrichment and development period(1949-2012),and deepening period(from 2012 to date).The concentrated expression of the basic connotation of the thought is "one center,five fundamental points"."All for people" being the center of the connotation,the CPC shall respect the people's historic role and creativity,lead,support and ensure the people to be the masters of the country;the CPC shall also serve to realize,safeguard and promote the fundamental interests and achieve the overall and free development of the broad masses,contributing to a human community of common destiny.The CPC's thoughts on how to realize "For the People" can be summarized into such as building the awareness of "For the People",enhancing skills for serving the people,creating methods of applying science,keeping excellent conduct,giving full play to the institutional power,and confirming "whether for the people or not" as the standard to work and to evaluate cadres.Such are solutions to address problems in terms of the understanding of the thought and capabilities,approaches and assurances for practicing the thought.The CPC's thoughts on the prevention and punishment of deviation from "For the People" principle mainly include the strengthening of education,the tightening of discipline and rules,the establishing and improving of the corruption prevention and punishment regime,the serious handling of cases violating laws and discipline,etc.Generally speaking,the most typical features of the CPC's "For the People" thought lie in that the party emphasizes the awareness of wholeheartedly serving the people,constantly positions itself in favor of the broad masses,adheres to the conformity in being accountable to both the people and the party and the consistence between serving the benefit of the people and serving that of the party.It is highlighted that the "For the People" thought be genuinely implemented in formulating policies and guidelines,in the thoughts and conducts of party members and cadres,and in the concerns about the general people's production and living.The construction of the CPC's "For the People" thought is characterized by following laws,exhibiting the systematic attributes,emphasizing neutrality,maintaining progressiveness,and attending to openness.Such explains why the "For the People" thought became the fundamental guideline of the CPC on self-strengthening and the core value of socialism with Chinese characteristics.It is a deepened perception of the essence of scientific socialism.Under the new historical conditions,the CPC's practice of the "For the People" thought assumes greater significance and urgency.On the basis of the review,how to meet new challenges,withstand new tests and resolve new dangers,elevate the scientific level of party-building,continue to enrich and develop the thought in the new knowing-doing practices and better highlight the most important value in the development of human society are issues that deserve our continuing exploration and critical thinking in the "For the People" enterprise.
