Marx regards the masses as the main force that promotes social and historical progress in the form of groups, and believes that the purposeful and conscious practical activities of the masses according to their own interests and needs constitute the fundamental driving force for promoting social and historical progress. This subjectivity contains the dual dimensions of practice subject and value subject. As the main body of practice, the people have created the material foundation and spiritual wealth required for social and historical development through their own practical activities, and at the same time, they are the revolutionary force that determines the direction of social history in the period of social change, and are the leaders to promote social change; As the main body of value, the practical activities of the people in creating social history always contain the value orientation of safeguarding their own interests, and are the ultimate value attribution of social and historical development. This thought guides the Chinese Communists to dialectically apply the mass line of “for the people and relying on the people” in the concrete practice of leading China’s revolution and reform in the course of their century-long struggle, writing a magnificent chapter of the people’s creation of history.
