On September 8th, at the national commendation meeting for fighting COVID-19 epidemic, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech, which incisively summarized and profoundly explained the great anti-epidemic spirit of life first, national unity, risking one’s life and forgetting one’s death, respecting science and sharing common destiny.

In his nearly 10,000-word speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned "people" and "life" many times. He also explained the historical and cultural roots of the supremacy of life by using the old saying "love others and things is called benevolence", which fully demonstrated the profound heritage of Chinese civilization.

[Interpretation]

"Benevolence" is the ideological core of Confucianism, and Taoism also stresses "benevolence", which is where Confucianism and Taoism meet. However, the "benevolence" mentioned by Confucianism is mainly for people, and Zhuangzi’s "theory of uniformity of things" pushes "benevolence" to all things: "All things are universal, and heaven and earth are integrated." ("Zhuangzi Tianxia") advocates that "loving others and things is benevolence". To expand "benevolence" to a deeper level and a wider field, we should not only "love" but also "benefit". The so-called "benefiting things" means caring for all living and non-living substances in nature, which fully embodies the Taoist idea of harmony between man and nature and "harmony between man and nature".

[Interpretation]

"Love for others and things" is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and the spiritual bond on which the Chinese nation depends for its survival and development, which has been fully demonstrated in the process of fighting the epidemic.

The COVID-19 epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest infection range and the most difficult prevention and control in China since the founding of New China. It is also a crisis and a big test for China. In the face of the sudden severe epidemic, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally commanded and deployed, taking overall situation into consideration and making decisive decisions, which strengthened confidence, consolidated strength and pointed out the direction for the people of China to fight the epidemic. With the mission of being highly responsible to the people, the CPC Central Committee has always put the people’s life safety and physical health first, earnestly adhered to the people-centered development idea, and spared no expense in the short-term "shutdown" of the economy and the enormous financial pressure, but also concentrated all resources and tried every means to fight the epidemic. Mobilize the best doctors, the most advanced equipment and the most urgently needed resources throughout the country, and go all out to invest in disease treatment; In the process of treatment, no infected person is left out, and every patient is not abandoned, so as to realize "all due, all cured, all checked and all separated". From the baby born just over 30 hours to the elderly over 100 years old, all the treatment expenses are borne by the state … … Looking back on the course of anti-epidemic, people first and life first are the distinctive background of China’s anti-epidemic, and it is the general consensus of China society to try our best to save lives.

Under the guidance of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, China has created countless life miracles and achieved great strategic achievements in the fight against epidemic diseases. The 1.4 billion people of China have helped each other in the same boat, fought side by side, overcome difficulties together, and written a great chapter in the struggle against major infectious diseases with practical actions. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said: "It is the people of Chinese who have given us strength and confidence to overcome this epidemic." "The people are the real heroes. As long as we rely closely on the people, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. "　

The people are only the country, and the country is better. A country that cherishes the people will prosper, and a political party that seeks happiness for the people will have a lasting foundation.(Author Yang Lixin)

　　Hubei Daily News (Reporter Huang Junhua, arel) On April 2, Wang Menghui, secretary of the provincial party committee, and Wang Zhonglin, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and governor, went to the provincial epidemic prevention and control headquarters and Wuhan City to visit the staff, community volunteers and public security police who fought in the front line of epidemic prevention and control, and to investigate and supervise the epidemic prevention and control work. Wang Menghui stressed that it is necessary to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on epidemic prevention and control at the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee meeting, adhere to the general strategy of "external defense input and internal defense rebound", adhere to the general policy of "dynamic zero clearing", pay close attention to all aspects of epidemic prevention and control, and continuously consolidate and expand the decisive achievements of epidemic prevention and control. We must persist in striving for progress while maintaining stability, better coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.

　　At the provincial epidemic prevention and control headquarters, the provincial leaders listened to the current epidemic situation analysis and the report on the epidemic prevention and control work. Wang Menghui pointed out that it is necessary to keep in mind the important instruction of the Supreme Leader General Secretary that "persistence is victory", always tighten the string of epidemic prevention and control, strengthen confidence, persevere, and grasp all prevention and control measures strictly. The epidemic prevention and control command system at all levels in the province should be kept active, and the working mechanism should be continuously improved to ensure efficient and sensitive operation. It is necessary to compact the "four-party responsibility", resolutely and effectively handle the local imported epidemic, and resolutely hold the bottom line that there will be no large-scale rebound of the epidemic. It is necessary to continue to promote vaccination and further improve the vaccination rate of "one old and one small". With the coming of holidays in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the mobility of people is increasing. It is necessary to make scientific judgments, make good plans, improve the level of scientific and accurate prevention and control, and constantly optimize the measures for epidemic prevention and control, so as to make the prevention and control work more targeted.

　　Subsequently, the provincial leaders came to the East Lake New Town Community to inspect the entrance and exit of the community, learn more about the prevention and control of the normalized epidemic situation in the community, volunteer service, etc., and relive the enthusiasm of the Supreme Leader General Secretary when he visited the East Lake New Town Community in March 2020. Wang Menghui said that the decisive achievements in the Hubei and Wuhan defense wars for epidemic prevention and control are fundamentally due to the wise command and steering of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, the strong leadership and scientific response of the CPC Central Committee, the strong support of the people of the whole country and all sectors, and the joint efforts of the heroic Hubei and Wuhan people, which fully demonstrates the strong vitality and remarkable superiority of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. We should always bear in mind the earnest entrustment of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, adhere to the people first and life first, vigorously carry forward the great anti-epidemic spirit, speed up the construction of a grass-roots social governance pattern led by party building, give play to the main role of the masses, and jointly guard the important barrier of community prevention and control.

　　Fuhe Expressway Bayou is an important passage to Han. Provincial leaders came to the quarantine inspection point at the bayonet, carefully inspected the registration area, inspection area and observation area, learned more about the inspection of health code and travel code, nucleic acid registration and sampling process, and listened to the introduction of the "landing inspection" at the bayonet. Wang Menghui stressed that it is necessary to strictly implement the landing inspection at important checkpoints, implement export inspection measures such as highways, airports and railway stations, do a good job in information registration, transshipment isolation and nucleic acid detection for those who come to and return from Hubei in high-risk areas in China, and resolutely put all measures for external defense and import into place. It is necessary to scientifically guide the traffic flow and ensure the smooth and orderly traffic.

　　Located at Jinqiao Avenue in Jiang ‘an District, the centralized isolation point is mainly used for the centralized isolation of people coming to and returning from Han in medium and high-risk areas in China. Provincial leaders came outside the isolation point to see the operation management and service guarantee of the isolation point by video. Wang Menghui pointed out that the current situation of epidemic prevention and control is still severe and complicated, and the task of standardized management and risk management and control in isolated places is arduous, and we must not relax for an instant. It is necessary to strictly implement the closed-loop management measures of isolation points, strengthen daily disinfection, body temperature monitoring and nucleic acid detection, and prevent cross-infection and risk spillover. It is necessary to adhere to the prevention of people, things and the environment, do a good job in prevention and control of key places such as isolation points, schools, hospitals, nursing homes and prisons, and build a "firewall" and a dense prevention and control network.

　　Wuhan Traffic Control Center is jointly established by the municipal public security, health care, disease control and other departments. Provincial leaders came here to listen to the introduction of flow investigation, organization system and closed-loop management. Wang Menghui pointed out that epidemic control is the basic work of epidemic prevention and control, and it is the key to cut off the epidemic transmission chain. It is necessary to conscientiously sum up the practical experience of the flow adjustment work, strengthen the monitoring and early warning of high-risk posts and key areas, and put the work ahead. In the event of an epidemic, the work of tracing the source, investigation and control, isolation and treatment should be started quickly to minimize the risk of epidemic spread and achieve the maximum prevention and control effect with the least cost.

　　Provincial leaders Guo Yuanqiang, Dong Weimin, Zhao Haishan, Yang Yunyan and Xu Wenhai participated in relevant activities respectively.
