Forty years are just a brief moment in history. People’s Daily went through extraordinary years. Together with her party and the people, she ushered in the great victory of the liberation war and the birth of the People’s Republic. Spent triumphant exciting years, but also gone through the ups and downs of thunder and lightning ups and downs of the course. Forty years of career, success, frustration, joy, pain. Her body, casting the shadow of history and the times. As organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, she is the mouthpiece and ear of the party and the government. She is also a media base for the Chinese people and reflects the will and demand of the people. The staff of our “People’s Daily” know very well that it is their sacred duty to convey and explain the party’s Central Route, principles and policies to the masses in a timely and accurate manner. We also understand that only by closely relying on the people and faithfully reflecting People’s emotions can get the support of the masses and make our newspapers a readable, amiable and credible party organ loved by the people.
