Life comes first! People first! Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Party Central Committee has attached great importance to it, always putting the safety and health of the people first, making epidemic prevention and control the most important task at present, and making comprehensive arrangements to strengthen epidemic prevention and control. General Secretary Xi Jinping has held multiple meetings, listened to reports, and issued important instructions, requiring party committees and governments at all levels and relevant departments to formulate thorough plans and organize all parties to carry out prevention and control. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to study epidemic prevention and control. Under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee and with the joint efforts of all parties, prevention and control work is being carried out vigorously, various measures are being vigorously advanced, and the whole country has gathered great strength to jointly fight the epidemic.
We have started the people's war to prevent and control the epidemic, and we are fighting with all our strength. The epidemic is an order, and prevention and control is a responsibility. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Central Leading Group for Epidemic Response has held multiple meetings to study and deploy epidemic prevention and control work. The Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council timely coordinates and solves urgent problems encountered in prevention and control work. Relevant departments perform their respective duties, and the military actively supports local epidemic prevention and control. Party committees at all levels scientifically judged the situation, accurately grasped the epidemic, and unified leadership, command, and action. The leading bodies and leading cadres of party organizations at all levels, especially the main responsible comrades, stick to their posts and take command from the front. All party, government, military and mass agencies, enterprises and institutions, party organizations at all levels and party members and cadres unite and lead the broad masses of the people to resolutely implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, fully implement the requirements of strengthening confidence, working together in the same boat, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy implementation, so that the party flag flies high on the front line of the fight against the epidemic.
We started the people’s war to prevent and control the epidemic, and we fought bravely. The front line of the epidemic is the battlefield, and the majority of medical staff are not afraid of danger and have no hesitation. On New Year's Eve, medical teams from all over the country gathered urgently and headed towards Wuhan. In the face of the epidemic, the majority of medical staff have adopted the attitude of "the state owns the war, must be recalled, and must win the war!" "Stand forward and charge forward with the belief of "fighting against the virus and relaying life, countless medical staff have made selfless sacrifices, showing their fearless and tenacious heroic qualities. In order to overcome the disease, a large number of scientific research workers have promoted scientific research in accordance with the "wartime status". The majority of medical staff have fought bravely, built a line of health defense for the people in the face of the virus, and carefully protected the life safety and health of the people.
Starting the people's war to prevent and control the epidemic, we unite and fight. The Chinese people have a great spirit of unity. In this people's war, from cities to villages, from inland areas to frontiers, 1.4 billion people think in one place and work hard to fight the disease together. The broad masses of the people responded to the call of the Party Central Committee, consciously obeyed the arrangements for epidemic prevention and control, took action, organized, and united, starting from themselves and starting bit by bit, comprehensively implemented joint prevention and control measures, and jointly built a tight line of defense for mass prevention and treatment. From caring about the safety of compatriots in key areas for epidemic prevention and control, to expressing their love by donating money and materials, to making their own contribution to winning the battle against the epidemic, the broad masses of the people have demonstrated the great love of "when one party is in trouble, support from all sides", forming a community with a shared future that shares weal and woe, and forming a strong synergy to fight the epidemic together.
The Chinese people are a great people, and the Chinese nation is a great nation. In the face of the ruthless epidemic, as long as we unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, continue to fight with all our strength, fight bravely, and unite, overcome all difficulties and move forward indomitably, we will surely win this people's war!
