为人民服务最早是作为党的根本宗旨而提出,在革命战争年代就已深入人心,我党执政后,又把它推及为人民政府就必须坚持的根本宗旨,并在几十年的社会主义建设中向人民群众大量宣传和倡导,使为人民服务思想深深扎根于人民群众之中。中国特色为人民服务思想具有丰富的内涵,并随着时代的发展不断增添新的内容,但始终包含两方面的涵义:政治原则和道德要求。在当代中国,为人民服务首先是共产党的优良传统和政治优势。这里着重从政治原则层面论述“为人民服务”思想的重要性,分析新时期为人民服务思想中“人民”的涵义及服务的主客体、服务的层次性等理论问题。 Serving the people was first proposed as the fundamental purpose of the party and has been deeply rooted in the era of the revolutionary war. After our party took power, it was pushed back to the fundamental purpose that the people’s government must adhere to. After decades of socialism In the process of construction, mass publicity and advocacy have been made to the masses of the people so that the thinking of serving the people is deeply rooted in the masses of the people. The concept of serving the people with Chinese characteristics has rich connotations and has constantly added new contents as the times develop. However, it always contains two meanings: political principles and moral requirements. In contemporary China, serving the people is first of all the fine traditions and political advantages of the Communist Party. The emphasis here is on the importance of discussing “serving the people” from the political principle level and analyzing the theoretical implications of “people ” for serving the people in the new era, as well as the subject and object of service and the level of service.
