A Study On People’s Livelihood Viewpoint Of CPC

Since the "eating right" demands proposed by the elites with communist ideology in the beginning of the early 20th century, to the "China Dream" mission in the 21st century, the Communist Party of China lead Chinese people through revolution, construction, reform and opening-up process, and the value of people’s livelihood was recognized and promoted. But the understanding and practice of people’s livelihood is not unchanged for Communists. On the contrary, it was judged and revised according to the party’s central task in different times. To excavate, sort out and elaborate the historical changes of how to guarantee and improve people’s livelihood, and then summarize some regularity knowledge can provide reference for the transformation and development of contemporary livelihood construction.Since the establishment of the Communist Party of China, "people’s livelihood" issue is always been one of mission when constructing and planning revolution or reigning. It is inevitablely that "people’s livelihood" issue becomes one of the most basic and important value of the Chinese Communist Party. Since modern times,the two historical tasks proposed based on the evolution of Chinese society nature lies the fundamental basis for the establishment of the Communist Party’s value of "people’s livelihood", which are national independence and people’s liberation, national revival and the people’s wealthy. The rich traditional cultural resources laid a cultural foundation for the formation of the Communist Party’s livelihood concept.Sun Yat-sen’s livelihood doctrine of caring for people’s livelihoods and value exposited directly affects the formation of the Communist party’s livelihood concept. When the advanced liberal intellectuals were distressed for not able to solve for people’s livelihood problem and anxiously to seek solution ways, the appearance of Marxism make a connection between people’s livelihood and socialism, and eventually established a direction for Chinese Communist Party’s livelihood values.In new-democratic revolution, the Communist Party’s primary task was to be engaged in national democratic revolution against imperialism and feudalism, which can create the institutional conditions for social prosperity and happiness livelihood. In the grand background of national democratic revolution, protecting and improving people’s livelihood can not be taken as a primary value of the direct targets in practice. People’s livelihood issue in the new democratic revolution era was not a dominant theme. The fundamental purpose of the party’s understanding of people’s livelihood and practice was to be used as a tool to support revolution. Nevertheless, in order to guarantee the basic livelihood of the people, the Chinese Communist Party constructed people’s livelihood concept in the practice of guaranteeing livelihood security in the revolutionary process, which formed the understanding and practice of the main component of people and the basic ways to guarantee livelihood etc.After the Communist Party of China turned from a "revolutionary party"to the"ruling party", it began the first history stage to explore the Chinese people’s livelihood issues, in which the concept of livelihood is constructed. The party’s historical status and the central task have shifted, making orientation of livelihood in the theory and practice of the Chinese Communist Party subsequently changed. This period was a start era of livelihood practice in a industrialization background, and livelihood need material guarantees by production. But people’s livelihood had to make sacrifices to support the pursuit of strategic objectives of industrialization which was the central task. The national economy arrangements of "production first, livelihood second" made livelihood assumed a "strategic burden" or "policy burdens" in socialist revolution and construction period. But with the absolute emphasis on "production first",and the production logic of "grasping revolution and promoting production" came into being, not only people’s livelihood were continuously depressed, and even the material guarantee for livelihood was revolutionized, thus made the livelihood itself revolutionized. It indicates that to guarantee and improve the livelihood inevitably need material basis, but production should not be absolute, producing for production caused socialist production deviate from the purpose that meeting the people’s fundamental needs. So that solving the livelihood problems can not transcend historical stages of people’s needs, nor can the revolutionary spirit replace production and livelihood.Since reforming and opening, with the theme of the times converted to peace and development, the Communist Party of China actively explored the ways to guarantee and improve people’s livelihood in the new era on the basis of judging historical position of people’s livelihood sciencetificly and handling the relationship between development and people’s livelihood correctly. During this period, the Communist Party of China summed up the experience and lessons of livelihood construction, establishing a socialist modernization livelihood concept with Chinese characteristics which guarantee people’s livelihood in order to promote the development, even more making development to benefit people’s livelihood. Under the guidance of this new concept of people’s livelihood, the party and the government achieve a significant period of forming the new concept of people’s livelihood on the basis of correction the deviation in Cultural Revolution times. It mainly marked by:firstly, to review the value of guaranteeing and improving people’s livelihood, which not only realizes the people’s livelihood transform from "policy burden" to the "starting point of the national economy development", and was established as a "major political issue". Secondly, constitute the scientific and systematic objective of people’s livelihood, from the implementation of "three steps to walk" which include subsistence, well-off, affluence to the "Five having" customizated in all-round well-off society. Thirdly, realize the pattern of people’s livelihood turn from survival mode to development mode, from government leaded mode to Co-building and Sharing mode. Fourthly, form a pattern in which "Five in one" guarantees the construction of the people’s livelihood. Bringing the benefit of development to people’s livelihood highlight Chinese Communist’s "livelihood consciousness ", revealing the unity between people’s livelihood and people’s all-round development, presenting the unity between livelihood’s process and objective.
