I.Serving the People Wholeheartedly

The Communist Party of China is the vanguard of Chinas working class， the Chinese people， and the Chinese nation. Serving the people wholeheartedly is its abiding mission. The country is the people and the people are the country. The Partys struggle to found a new China and develop it is for the people. Of the people， by the people， for the people—this is what has guided the CPC from victory to victory over the past century.

1. Putting the People First

The CPC is dedicated to the people and forever puts their interests first. It follows the underlying trends of social development and respects the peoples principal role in making history. It pursues the lofty goal of working for the wellbeing of the Chinese people； and does everything in the interests of the people.

The CPC is rooted in the people. It was born in 1921 in the great struggle against feudal rule and foreign aggression， at a time when Marxism-Leninism became integrated with Chinas workers movement. From the very day of its creation， the CPC has represented Chinas working class， the Chinese people， and the Chinese nation. It has no special interests of its own， nor does it represent any interest group， establishment group， or privileged social group. Its only goals are to deliver happiness for the people and achieve national rejuvenation.

The CPC shares the same goals as the people， and it shares a common stake with the people. Drawing support and strength from the people， the Party has grown in strength in the fight to overcome every challenge.

Members of the CPC are ordinary people. They love life and are hard working. They are sincere， open and compassionate. But they are also vanguards and role models in daily life， work， and public activities. They are the first to step forward in case of challenges and dangers， fearless and ready to give their all for the country and the people. They emerge from the people and lead them to go forward. They are Communists—citizens of China both ordinary and extraordinary at the same time.

From its very beginning， the CPC has striven to serve the people and won their support and endorsement. It represents the fundamental interests of all the Chinese， and everything it does is to realize， safeguard and advance their interests. Meeting the peoples expectation for a better life is its goal.

The peoples interests are behind everything the Party does—leading revolution， building the armed forces， developing political institutions， boosting the economy， carrying out reform and opening up， developing culture， and exploring better ways of running society.
