Mao Ze-dong was the leader of the people, and peoplehood is the most distinctive character of Mao Ze-dong and Mao Ze-dong Thought. Throughout his life, Chairman Mao believed in the people, relied on the people, loved the people, served the people and benefited the people, making indelible and great contributions to the liberation and happiness of the Chinese people. Mao Ze-dong’s thoughts and actions of sharing the destiny with the people are mainly manifested in: boosting national morale and being a Chinese with backbone; being independent, confident, and self-reliant; believing in the people and serving the people; being incorruptible and sharing weal and woe with the people. In the new era, the best way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC is to remember and practise Mao Ze-dong’s concept of believing in, serving, benefiting and loving the people, to constantly dedicate its soul and mind to the people, and to strive to realise the people’s aspiration for a better life.
