Shared development focuses on addressing issues of social fairness and justice. To govern the world, we must first prioritize public service, and public service will bring peace to the world. Allowing the broad masses of the people to share the fruits of reform and development is the essential requirement of socialism, the concentrated embodiment of the superiority of the socialist system, and an important manifestation of our party's fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly. Once these issues are resolved, the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of all the people in promoting development can be fully mobilized, and the country's development can also have the deepest power.
The "L ü shi Chunqiu" is an important work that integrates various schools of thought such as Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohism, Yin Yang, and Zongheng. Its chapter structure is very distinctive, including the Twelve Annals, Eight Views, and Six Discussions. The Twelve Annals are the Mengchun Annals, the Zhongchun Annals, the Jichun Annals, and up to the Jidong Annals, with five articles under each Annals.
The opening of "Guigong" in the Annals of Mengchun states: "In the past, when a sage king governed the world, he must first be a duke, and a duke would bring peace to the world. Peace comes from a duke." In ancient times, when sages governed the world, the first thing they emphasized was fairness. If fairness was achieved, the world would be peaceful. Peace comes from fairness. The "Guigong" continues to argue that "there are many who have gained the world, and what they have gained must be shared by the public, and what they have lost must be biased." The gains and losses of the world depend on whether they can achieve the word "public" and whether they can benefit the people.
Gong holds an important position in the long-standing political philosophy tradition of our country. Duke Zhou's son Boqin was about to be enfeoffed in the state of Lu (now Qufu, Shandong). Before leaving, he sought advice from his father on how to govern the country. Zhou Gong gave him various admonishments, one of which was "benefit but not benefit", to benefit the people rather than self-interest, to focus on the interests of the people rather than one's own interests, and to achieve the goal of eliminating private interests and preserving public interests.
Confucius, who greatly admired Duke Zhou, once said to his disciples when discussing the way of governing the country: "Qiu also heard that there are state-owned enterprises that do not suffer from scarcity but from inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but from instability. They are all equal without poverty, harmonious without scarcity, and peaceful without tilt." Confucius expressed his pursuit of fair distribution and opposition to the excessive wealth gap, believing that this is not conducive to social stability. If the distribution is fair, there will be harmony between the upper and lower levels, social stability, and a natural return of people from afar, leading to the globalization of the world. On the basis of Confucius' relevant views, Mencius proposed the concept of "people-oriented" benevolent governance, in which a crucial point is to pay attention to fairness and care for the disadvantaged in the development process.
Zhu Xi, a great scholar of a generation, witnessed the difference in survival between rich and poor families after the flood when he lived in Wufuli, Chong'an County (in today's Mount Wuyi City, Fujian Province). In order to provide disaster relief, he once solicited food from wealthy households and sold it at a fair price to the affected people, and requested officials to open regular positions to assist the disaster victims. This experience prompted him to establish a social warehouse in the local area. Changping positions are mainly located in prefectures and counties, and can only take care of people living in cities. They cannot extend to people living in deep mountains and valleys. Once there is a shortage of food, what should their livelihoods be. The social warehouses advocated by Zhu Xi are distributed in rural areas, which can provide relief to disaster victims nearby.
Regular liquidation, as its name suggests, is mainly used to stabilize grain prices. In disaster years, warehouses are opened to distribute grain to disaster victims, while in normal years, warehouses are generally not opened. The social warehouse established by Zhu Xi was used for disaster relief in disaster years and for poverty alleviation in peacetime, with higher utilization efficiency. Zhu Xi's Social Warehouse Law, approved by Emperor Xiaozong of Song, issued edicts to various prefectures and states, and subsequently established social warehouses in many places. The mutual cooperation of facilities such as regular liquidation and social warehouses has played a certain role in the fair and reasonable adjustment of grain and the care of vulnerable groups, although there are some unsatisfactory aspects in the actual operation process.
The attitude towards the people, the relationship with the people, and whether the development achievements can be shared by all the people are related to the nature and destiny of political parties.
"Everyone can enjoy the average supply and get the greatest happiness." Since the founding of the CPC, the four words "for the people" have been integrated into the blood.
The Red Army has come to take control of the political power, and the days of spring are right in front of us; the poor are the first to benefit, and everyone has land and farmland. "A mountain song that was passed down during the revolutionary struggle in Jinggangshan expresses the most sincere feelings of the people towards the Party and the Red Army.
In the past, 60% of the land in Jinggangshan was concentrated in the hands of landlords, and more than half of the farmers' grain was used to pay rent, resulting in insufficient food and clothing. In 1928, our party formulated the "Jinggangshan Land Law", which enabled poor farmers to obtain their coveted land.
In 1949, the People's Republic of China was established. On the land of New China, all systems of exploitation will be eliminated, and the Chinese people will become masters of the country, society and their own destiny, enjoying unprecedented rights.
In 1978, the CPC opened the curtain of reform and opening up with extraordinary political courage. Taking economic construction as the center, continuously liberating and developing social productive forces, implementing the household contract responsibility system in rural areas, and establishing the reform direction of socialist market economy... The most direct driving force of reform and opening up is the needs, expectations, and support of the people.
After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era. At that time, China, after decades of reform and opening up, created an economic miracle that attracted worldwide attention. Corresponding to the tremendous achievements, by the end of 2012, there were still nearly 100 million impoverished people in China, and the situation of poverty alleviation remained severe. According to international experience, poverty reduction has entered the "most difficult stage".
In 2020, we will comprehensively build a moderately prosperous society. To build a moderately prosperous society in all respects, one cannot be left behind; on the road to common prosperity, one cannot be left behind. We will mobilize the entire Party and the whole country to resolutely complete the task of poverty alleviation and ensure the fulfillment of our commitments
Only the CPC can propose such a task, and only the CPC can undertake it.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has placed poverty alleviation in an important position in governing the country and elevated it to a political level related to the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society and the achievement of the first centenary goal. It has organized and implemented the largest and strongest poverty alleviation campaign in human history. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally led, personally went on expeditions, and personally supervised the war. The five level secretaries focused on poverty alleviation, and the whole party mobilized to promote tough battles, paving the way for poverty reduction with Chinese characteristics.
The tremendous changes in poverty-stricken areas have converged into shocking numbers: under the current standards, 98.99 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, 832 poverty-stricken counties have all been removed from poverty, and 128000 poverty-stricken villages have all been listed, eliminating absolute poverty and regional overall poverty. The smiling faces after escaping poverty have become the most vivid expressions of China.
The path choice of a political party or a country, fundamentally, is the practice and exploration of the fundamental proposition of 'who am I, for whom do I serve, and whom do I rely on'. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has put forward the development ideology centered on the people, insisting on development for the people, development relying on the people, and development achievements being shared by the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out that "sharing is shared by the whole nation" and "shared development is enjoyed by everyone, each in their own place, not shared by a few or a part of the population".
In the new era of China, sharing is not just an ideal, but has tangible content - based on promoting social equity and justice, focusing on poverty alleviation and narrowing income gaps, ensuring equal access to basic public services in regions, urban and rural areas, and promoting common prosperity. Turning to this year's government work report, "promoting income growth and burden reduction for low-income groups", "gradually implementing free pre-school education", "strengthening assistance for the elderly, disabled, long-term unemployed and other groups with employment difficulties", "protecting the legitimate rights and interests of women, children, the elderly, and the disabled"... A number of policy measures and plans show that the direction of Chinese path to modernization is to give everyone the opportunity to develop themselves and contribute to the society, share the opportunity to make a difference in life, and share the opportunity to realize their dreams.
Everyone's participation, everyone's effort, everyone's enjoyment, and sharing are the focus and destination of the new development concept. It is rooted in the excellent traditional Chinese culture, internalized in the original mission of the CPC people, and realized on the journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation. The endogenous driving force of economic and social development is thus accumulated and generated, and everyone's potential is activated and released. With over 1.4 billion people's confident struggle, China stands on the world stage with a more vibrant posture. (New Society)
