Today marks the 130th anniversary of the birth of the President. ** dedicated their lives to the motherland and the people, and the people will not forget their leader. However, the commemoration of him should not stop at the remembrance of his life's achievements. He was a great pioneer and teacher, and his career was not only in the past, but also in the future.
His thoughts can transcend the times, but the realization of his ideals cannot surpass the objective law of the development of productive forces. Restricted by the times, he did everything he could, but it was still far from his expectations, and he could only go with regrets. Therefore, the great cause he created has always been inherited and developed by future generations, which is the best commemoration for him.
To achieve the full independence and self-determination of the republic
** The first thing to do in my life, of course, is to defeat the internal and external reactionaries by strategizing, to establish an independent new China, and to lay a solid foundation for our development today. But all this is just like *** said, and it is only a small step in the long march.
The establishment and construction of New China is undoubtedly thrilling, and countless achievements have also been made. However, we must also objectively admit that for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, even after rapid accumulation, our family foundation was still very thin, far from being able to compare with the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union at that time, and even compared with some old powers, it was quite inadequate, and the people's living standards were in urgent need of improvement.
Self-reliance during the construction period of New China was great and glorious, but it also had a certain element of compulsion. At that time, if we wanted to quickly change our backward appearance, we could not take it from the east, but from the west. We need to introduce advanced foreign technology and funds, and in our later years, we will judge the situation and promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and we are obviously prepared for this.
We should also affirm that without the belongings left to us, without the dual guarantees of the party and the people's army, political and military, we would not be qualified to carry out later opening up. If it is forcibly opened, it will inevitably be messed up or even collapsed.
The half-century behind the presidency has been a half-century of compromise and struggle with the West in the new era. Especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the general trend is inevitable, and we have inevitably been involved in the global economic cycle, and this global economic order is mainly in the hands of Western countries.
It should be said that we have struggled to this day, with blood and tears, and paid many costs, but after all, we have established the world's number one industrial power without doubt. This achievement is worthy of the martyrs of the Republic and tens of millions of Republicans, but it also announces the end of a historical stage. Our problem today, or our mission, is that we have endured humiliation for a long time, and after we have such a belongingFor what, what should be done?
It is undeniable that we have learned a lot and grown a lot in the process of participating in global mass production. But with our blood, sweat and wisdom, the huge industrial capacity created also gave birth to the post-Cold War global prosperity, which enabled Western societies to maintain a so-called high standard of living. While the developed countries in the West enjoy cheap industrial products, as the world's major industrial producers, we not only lack the pricing power of industrial products for a long time, but are not even allowed to upgrade technology and industry, so as not to threaten the hegemony of the West represented by the United States.
This economic injustice has been accompanied by a long period of financial and cultural passivity in our country. The vast amount of social wealth that we have created through hard work is easily taken away by Western conglomerates through financial instruments. As an ancient nation with a long history and prosperous culture, we have long faced the cultural dumping of the West, and even ideologically, we have been unwittingly manipulated and domesticated by it. We have not only suffered from the economic exploitation of developed countries, but have also produced a serious spiritual crisis.
Now, it's an eventful time. After entering the post-modern stage, the big capitalist countries represented by the United States have all shown serious decay and chaos, and their strength has declined significantly. From Russia and Ukraine to Palestine and Israel, there has been a lot of smoke and chaos, all of which show that the Western hegemony represented by the United States is no longer capable and that the old world order is heading for collapse. With the general recession of the Western world, the economic recession on a global scale is spreading, making it more and more difficult to suppress the contradictions between the major powers.
Such a situation naturally reminds people of the situation faced by the Chinese people in the last century. The times create heroes, and heroes can also create the times. At the beginning, under the leadership of ***, our ancestors started the country from scratch in a hundred battles in the midst of tigers and wolves, and established an independent and intimidating eastern power that made the great powers fearful. We now have such a pair of solid belongings that have been founded by the people of the whole country for more than 70 years, and naturally we should also make a difference.
If there is oppression, there will be resistance, and if you don't fight imperialism, he will not let go. We should stand together with the vast number of late-developing countries, break the unfair global distribution mechanism, and strive for complete independence and self-determination, so that the motherland will be without a defectOnly then can we live up to the trust of the great men and the vast number of martyrs of the republic.
Improve and improve people's democracy in the new era
Since the Jinggangshan period, the exploration of socialist people's democracy has begun. During the war years, the style of democracy and openness has always been a magic weapon for our party and our army to win. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the first generation of the leadership collective designed and established a new people's democratic system.
However, since he wrote "Against Fundamentalism", with the continuous development of the Chinese revolution, people come from all over the world, the organizational structure is becoming more and more complex, formalism, bureaucracy, nepotism, power corrosion and other problems have always plagued the healthy development of China's socialist cause, and he has been fighting against these invisible enemies all his life.
It should be admitted that until the later years of the country, the development of our country was not enough. This is reflected not only in the weakness of the national economy and the hardships of the people's lives, but also in the lack of accumulation and talent in education, science and technology, communications, infrastructure, and other fields. Not to mention here, the extreme severity of the external environment has also made the internal construction uneasy.
This dual weakness of the productive forces and the production system has made it inevitable that social governance will be extensive and the level of cadres will be uneven. While the construction of New China is fighting against heaven and earth, many problems have also emerged one after another, such as being hard and brute force and detaching from reality. All these have deepened the worries of *** in his later years, and his further vision of people's democracy is limited by the lack of social development and accumulation, which is destined to be difficult to realize.
This kind of manpower is sometimes poor, and it cannot but be said that it is a regret in the life of the chairman. However, after half a century of development, the degree of social development and the various conditions we have today are no longer what they used to be, and we should naturally inherit and carry forward the great exploration of people's democracy. If prosperity is the high-rise building of the republic, then the people are the masters of the country and a happy life is the solid cornerstone of the republic.
The system cannot be separated from the productive forces, and the important premise of people's democracy is still inseparable from social and economic progress. As a matter of fact, in terms of system, grassroots democracy and mass supervision during the period of socialist construction were still relatively perfect, and many veteran comrades had a good reputation. However, after the opening of the country, the long-term hardship of life and the obvious material disparity with the West are enough to make most people lose interest in participating in social affairs. If everyone is busy improving their lives and only wants to run away to work outside, who will have the time to carry out social supervision and participate in politics, in order to mix an extra bowl of noodles?
From this point of view, our economy has made great progress, achieved a well-off life in an all-round way, eliminated absolute poverty, and basically eliminated the huge material gap between China and foreign countries, which has undoubtedly laid the foundation for people's democracy in the new period. But on this basis, we cannot fail to mention the imbalance in the distribution of wealth in our contemporary era, which is accompanied by the growth of absolute wealth.
The Chinese have said since ancient times that they do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality. People who are willing to participate in the affairs of the state and society need to feel the income of their work financially and be able to realize the value of life through their personal efforts. The distribution of social wealth can be said to be the most intuitive embodiment of social fairness, and without this foundation, there can be no fairness and justice in social governance, let alone extensive participation of the people.
The basic attribute of the republic is the people's nature, not to mention that the contemporary era is an eventful season, which requires the unity and struggle of all the people. It can be said that the rights and interests of workers should be protected, the dignity of workers should be enhanced, the social security system should be improved, and social wealth should be distributed more fairlyIt is the basic condition for the realization of people's democracy.
Economic development has given the people more room to participate in the governance of the country, and the development of technology has also made the tools and means of social governance much richer today than they were at that time. Today, tens of millions of college students graduate from higher education every year, which is more than the total number of high-level intellectuals in the country at that time. With the development of information technology, we can establish a fast and powerful direct exchange of information from the first to the grassroots. With the advent of the Internet era, the whole people have participated in the dissemination of information, which is enough to form a new hot spot that is widely known to the whole society in an extreme time.
But at the same time, our environment is more complex than ever. In today's unprecedented information and information flow algorithms are becoming more and more powerful, through deliberate guidance, the people will easily fall into the information cocoon. If it is very difficult for the masses of the people to obtain even basic information, and they are led by the nose every day, how can they participate in people's democracy?
In the process of promoting social governance, we have also used a lot of information technology, and there are many channels for mass complaints and supervision. However, most of these exchanges and supervision are still at the surface level, and for many people, social governance is more like a black box than a mature and efficient system that can communicate and interact. Most people are still confused about how to participate in social affairs, exercise people's power, and even what they want society to be.
At this point in social and economic development, the people have begun to pay more attention to issues other than food and clothing, care about public affairs, and quickly form their own social propositions, which is inevitable for social development and has also been widely proven by the modernization process of all countries in the world. If we do not follow the old road of social governance in the West, then it is natural to open up a new road of socialism.
Our contemporary era has also put forward the requirements of the times for transparency and whole-process democracy. ** Ideals that were not realized back then, we should strive to achieve. What we carry forward and inherit should always be the basic concept of putting the people first, believing in the people, and relying on the people, which is also the foundation of the republic.
Construct a new humanistic ideological system in socialist China
No one can deny that there is a strong scholarly atmosphere in **. Learning was not only his hobby, but his whole life, especially in his later years, was actually encouraging, guiding, and trying to establish a new humanistic ideological system belonging to socialist China.
**In addition to governing the country, he has always had his own unique views on social life and humanities education, and many of his views are also very advanced and even radical today. For example, he has always advocated that humanities exams should be open-booked, and students should sit less in class and exercise more, which is very disgusted with cramming education. Just like the people's view of history that we are most familiar with, I put forward a lot of profound views on the legal system and property rights, which we are gradually improving today.
These claims seem scattered, and some of them are even radical, but the essence is to shape people. It should be said that the chairman's own thinking is extremely enlightened and advanced, he is committed to the emancipation of human nature, and he is trying to explore a new culture and ideological system suitable for socialist China that is different from the traditional ideas since the Ming and Qing dynasties and the foreign ideas of Western capitalism.
We must admit that Western capitalism developed earlier than us, had more experience in the field of modernization, and had more mature systems than we did. Socialism in China, and even socialism in the Soviet Union, was built in relatively backward countries. In this case, of course, there is no problem with our communication in the field of technology, but in the field of humanities and social sciences, what kind of face should we take? Whether it is the Soviet Union or China, it should be said, this aspect is not handled very well.
** is undoubtedly the elite of the old culture, and at the same time, he is also the theoretical pioneer of the Sinicization of socialism. Even, he is also the guide of China's industrialization and modernization. But it is undeniable that even in the period of the construction of New China, the humanistic thought of the first class is somewhat beyond the times and productivity. The chairman's own progress and open-mindedness, and the relatively conservative social environment of the time, often clashed, and even he himself complained a lot. Even, to our day, many old-fashioned people may not be able to accept the progressive propositions of ***.
But in any case, under the guidance of the chairman, New China is indeed gradually building its own humanistic ideological system. However, his work in this area has also been the least preserved after we have become deeply involved in the economic order of the Western world. We often feel that our humanities and social sciences have always been in the same direction as the West, and even in some fields, they have unconsciously become the mouthpiece of Western ideology.
This is not only caused by the relatively backward development of our humanities in the past and our relatively narrow vision, but also related to the relatively complete collapse of the old legal system of our humanities system. A typical example is probably Guo Moruo. There is a lot of slander behind him, to a certain extent, because he was deeply involved in leading the construction of the humanities and social sciences system during the construction of New China.
On the one hand, the humanities and social sciences are a kind of guiding ideology of society, and on the other hand, they cannot be divorced from the actual material conditions of society. Under the circumstance that we have to rely on the economic order of the West, it is also difficult for our humanities and social sciences to develop independently, and it is easy for the West to use material advantages to guide our humanities and social fields to move closer to them in an all-round way.
This situation has been going on for many years, and it has even caused many problems in contemporary society. A typical example is that in recent years, from legal construction to economic theory, imported products from the West have become less and less suitable for the development of our reality. Some experts and scholars have forcibly tried to copy the social governance system that has been exposed in the contemporary West to China, and have even begun to create social contradictions that will intensify our society. Even ordinary people can feel that compared with the rapid progress of science and engineering, the development of humanities in China seems to be lagging behind, and there are even some people who forget their ancestors the more they learn.
In this case, it is as if our hardware, that is, the level of industrial development is already very strong;Software, that is, the level of social governance is relatively okay;Only the driver, which hasn't been updated for many years. In order to thoroughly activate the vitality of our socialism, it is of course necessary to solve people's ideological and theoretical problems.
As the catch-up phase ends, our minds begin to repel what the West has forced into us. On the contrary, the basic theory of socialism, with the development of the element of capital, is more understood by us today.
A philosopher king like *** can't be counted on often. But our times also have our advantages. After all, we have reached the high point of industrialization and modernization, and we are qualified and necessary to explore our own new ideological system.
A wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool will eventually gain a thousand thoughts. Just as the development of socialist theory in the past lacked eye-catching innovations, in fact, it was to a large extent limited by the development of social productive forces. In a country that is comprehensively backward compared with the capitalist powers of the West, it is of course difficult to study the higher stage of social development such as socialism, and it can only be done behind closed doors or simply in new bottles of old wine. However, with the rapid progress of our social productive forces, I am afraid that we will have a clearer answer to what Chinese-style socialism should look like than in the past.
For the first time since 1840, we have regained material superiority. This allows us to look at tradition more peacefully, and it is undeniable that our long-term study of the West has also allowed us to gain a lot of new knowledge and new perspectives. Now, we have the opportunity to combine the strengths of the East and the West, base ourselves on China's fundamentals, and stand at the apex of global productive forces to explore a new ideological system of socialist China. From this point of view, we finally have the conditions to take over the unfinished work, and in the field of thought, seek to realize the communication between the past and the present, and open a new chapter.
Whether it is to strive for national independence, or to improve people's democracy, or to create a new humanistic ideological system suitable for Chinese socialism, after half a centuryWe have the conditions, and it is necessary, to blow off the dust on it and resume the work left to us. Our guide didn't make it to the end, but he showed us the way and we will continue to move forward and find new answers.
