江泽民同志在党的十五大报告中指出:“加强党的作风建设,根本的是坚持全心全意为人民服务的宗旨,充分发挥党密切联系群众的优势。”江总书记的讲话深刻地告诉我们:密切联系群众,是我们党一贯的优良传统和政治优势,也是我们把建设有中国特色社会主义事业全面推向二十一世纪的基本保证。 Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out in his report to the 15th National Congress of the CPC: “Strengthening the building of the party’s style of work fundamentally follows the principle of serving the people wholeheartedly and gives full play to the advantages of the party in its close ties with the masses.” General Secretary Jiang’s speech profoundly tells us: Close contact with the masses is our party’s traditional tradition and political superiority. It is also the basic guarantee that we fully push the cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics into the 21st century.
