[多项选择]中华民族历来尊重人的尊严和价值。还在遥远的古代，我们的先人就已提出“民为贵”的思想，认为“天生万物，唯人为贵”，一切社会的发展和进步，都取决于人的发展和进步，取决于人的尊严的维护和价值的发挥。中国共产党领导人民进行革命、建设和改革，就是要确保全中国人民获得广泛的自由、民主和人权。今天中国所焕发出来的巨大活力，是中国人民拥有广泛自由、民主的生动写照。
中国确保13亿多人的生存权和发展权，是对世界人权事业的重大贡献。集体人权与个人人权、经济文化权利与公民政治权利紧密结合和协调发展，这适合中国国情，是中国人权事业发展的必然道路。

参考答案:The Chinese nation has always valued human dignity and value. Even in the ancient days, our ancestors came up with the idea of "people being most important," believing that "man is the most valuable among all the things that heaven fosters." Progress and development of a society hinge on human development and progress and depend on how well human dignity is maintained and how much human value is realized. The Communist Party of China has led the Chinese people in carrying out revolution, development and reform precisely for the purpose of ensuring the entire Chinese people broad freedom, democracy and human rights. The immense vitality displayed by China today is a vivid reflection of the broad freedom and democratic rights enjoyed by the Chinese people.
