"Stand closely with the people of China and serve the people of China wholeheartedly" is the sole purpose of the China People's Liberation Army. This purpose makes the China People's Liberation Army always take serving the people as its own responsibility and always stand with the people, becoming the first truly people's army in the history of China.
It requires that all people who join the People's Liberation Army must take the interests of the broad masses of the people and the whole nation as their starting point and destination, always strive for the interests of the people, and must not have their own special interests or serve the private interests of any minority or narrow group; Always keep the closest contact with the masses, share weal and woe, live and die together, never leave the masses for a moment, let alone be above them, and become a tool for oppression, exploitation and enslavement.
The tasks of the China People's Liberation Army The China People's Liberation Army undertakes three basic tasks: fighting, mass work and production. The implementation of the three major tasks is determined by the nature and purpose of the China People's Liberation Army and is a principle of army building. The trinity of the three major tasks undertaken by the China People's Liberation Army is indispensable, which is determined by the nature and purpose of the People's Army, the characteristics of the China Revolution and the national conditions of China. If we deviate from the three major tasks, we will certainly not be able to complete the mission entrusted by the party to the army.
