Abstract: As the latest achievement of China’s democratic political practice, the whole-process people’s democracy pursues a“people’s orientation”in terms of values, achieves a full chain, all-encompassing and comprehensive coverage of the process, and effectively safeguards the fundamental interests of the people in terms of results, thus achieving an intrinsic fit with the people’s need for a better life. On the one hand, the whole-process people’s democracy provides a strong institutional guarantee for the realization of a better life for the people;on the other hand, the realization of a better life for the people has consolidated the social foundation of the whole process of people’s democracy and formed an organic interaction between the two. In the new era, through the mechanisms of political leadership, institutional provision and social participation, the whole process of people’s democracy keeps enhancing the“people’s character”,“all-round character”and“high-quality character”of the people’s better life. By practicing the concept of“people-centered development”, expanding the space for democratic practice and enhancing the governance effectiveness of democratic institutions, it can truly fulfill the people’s needs for a better life.

Key words: the whole process of people’s democracy, better life, people’s character, all-round character and high-quality character
