（"People's Daily" February 1, 2020 front page)
In the severe struggle to prevent and control the epidemic, the majority of party members and cadres are at the forefront, working hard to be the people's close confidants and backbone, extensively mobilizing the masses, organizing the masses, uniting the masses, and relying on the people to resolutely win the battle against the epidemic.
Since the outbreak of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that party organizations at all levels and the majority of party members and cadres must play an active role in winning the battle against the epidemic. He clearly stated that "the safety and health of the people should be given top priority and epidemic prevention and control should be the most important task at present." The Party Central Committee issued a "Notice" emphasizing that party committees at all levels must resolutely implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, and clearly stated that "we must organize party members and cadres to do a good job in mass work, stabilize emotions, enhance confidence, do not believe or spread rumors, and serve as the caring and backbone of the masses." Party organizations at all levels and the majority of party members and cadres must effectively unify their thoughts and actions to the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions and the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, keep in mind that the interests of the people are above all else, not forgetting the original intention and mission, and resolutely protect the people’s life safety and health.
Only by being pioneers and setting examples in epidemic prevention and control can party members and cadres become the backbone of the masses. "I am a branch member, please arrange for me first! "As a party member, I have a duty to do so." "I am a party member and a community secretary. I must not ask for leave at critical moments." "As a party member, I must take good care of, diagnose and treat critically ill patients, sum up experience in a timely manner, and treat more critically ill patients." "In the past few days, the "hard-core expressions", true words and inner monologues of party members and cadres on the front line have impressed the people and strengthened their confidence in defeating the epidemic. Facts have proved that in times of crisis, only party members and leading cadres go deep into the front line of epidemic prevention and control, and the majority of party members and cadres Only by standing up and taking the lead can we stabilize and unite people's hearts, unite and lead the people to think in one direction, and form a strong joint force to defeat the epidemic. Only by fulfilling our original mission and having the courage to take action in preventing and controlling the epidemic can we win the trust and support of the people.
Only by patiently and meticulously doing mass work can party members and cadres become caring people of the masses. Only by leaning down to solve the problems of the masses can party members and cadres get closer to the hearts of the masses. It is necessary to respond to the concerns of the masses, resolve doubts and doubts in a timely manner, go to the grassroots level in urban and rural communities, strengthen the publicity and explanation of relevant policies and measures, improve the public's awareness and ability of self-protection, relieve anxiety, and eliminate panic. It is necessary to effectively ensure the normal supply of daily necessities, coordinate and ensure the supply of grain, oil, eggs, milk and vegetables in key areas, maintain smooth transportation, ensure the supply of coal, electricity, oil and gas, and make every effort to ensure energy supply in epidemic prevention and control, post-holiday construction and other aspects, take multiple measures to stabilize market prices, and severely crack down on hoarding and price gouging in accordance with the law. Facts have proved that where the concerns and needs of the masses are, party members and cadres must work hard, so that the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee can be implemented in detail and the work can be done in the hearts of the masses.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Party members are the cells of the party’s body. The Party’s advanced nature and purity must be reflected by the advanced nature and purity of tens of millions of Party members, and the Party’s governing mission must be accomplished by the fruitful work of millions of Party members.” If the majority of Party members and cadres stand up and be brave in this severe struggle, give full play to their vanguard and exemplary role, and serve as the caring and backbone of the masses, we will surely win a great victory in this struggle.
