Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has published a series of important speeches and important articles with distinctive style, profound thoughts and profound connotations. They use history to reflect reality and look to the future from a distance, shining the truth of Marxism. The charming language in these important speeches and articles is a true portrayal of General Secretary Xi Jinping's ruling philosophy and a vivid manifestation of his charisma. CCTV's "Learning Everyday" column launched the "Idiom Reading" series, in the form of "news comics + text reading", which will take you to understand the charm of General Secretary Xi Jinping's language from different dimensions.
On January 17, 2022, President Xi Jinping pointed out in a speech at the World Economic Forum video conference: "China wants to achieve common prosperity, but not to engage in egalitarianism, but to make the 'cake' bigger first, and then adopt a reasonable system Arrange to divide the 'cake' well, so that when the tide rises, everyone gets what they want, so that the results of development can benefit all the people more and more equitably."
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism, one of the important features of Chinese-style modernization, and an important mission and unswerving goal of our party.
Those who touch people's hearts don't care about love first. General Secretary Xi Jinping has worked at the grassroots level for a long time, has a deep understanding of the national conditions, has a nuanced understanding of the people's sentiments, and has a deep affection for the people. He makes good use of everyday things that come from life and from the masses as metaphors, so that the core essence of the policy reaches the hearts of the people and warms the hearts of the people.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary has repeatedly used "cake" as a metaphor, emphasizing that "we must adhere to the people-centered development idea and promote common prosperity through high-quality development."
The delicious and attractive "cake" is a concrete expression of common prosperity and contains rich connotations.
The first level of connotation reveals the relationship between production and distribution. "Cakemaking" is the premise and foundation, and "sharing the cake" is the goal and vision.
On August 17, 2021, the General Secretary pointed out at the 10th meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee that "a happy life is the result of hard work, and common prosperity depends on hard work and wisdom."
If the "cake" cannot be made bigger, then everyone can only get less or no share; only by making the "cake" bigger can everyone have the opportunity to taste delicious food. "Cake making" requires everyone to contribute their hard work and wisdom for a better life. Everyone will work together and work together. If there are too many people who are opportunistic and lazy, there will be no "cake" to divide.
The second level of connotation reveals the relationship between fairness and efficiency. Realize common prosperity, and suffer from inequality.
On October 29, 2015, the General Secretary emphasized at the Second Plenary Session of the Fifth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Party: "In terms of sharing the achievements of reform and development, there are still imperfections in both the actual situation and the design of the system. To this end, we must insist on developing for the people, relying on the people, and sharing the fruits of development by the people, and make more effective institutional arrangements so that all the people can make steady progress towards common prosperity. The phenomenon of eating dross."
Common prosperity is the prosperity of all the people, not the prosperity of a few people, nor is it a uniform egalitarianism, nor is it advocating the "big pot of rice" for getting something for nothing. If the "cake" is distributed unfairly, conflicts and hidden dangers will inevitably arise. Therefore, only by planning the top-level design and reasonable system of "dividing the cake" can everyone be convinced.
The third level of connotation reveals the relationship between growth and demand.
The report of the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the principal contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people's ever-growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development.
On August 17, 2021, when presiding over the 10th meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee, the General Secretary emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen the guidance of socialist core values, strengthen patriotism, collectivism, and socialist education, develop public cultural undertakings, and improve public cultural services system to continuously meet the diverse, multi-level, and multi-faceted spiritual and cultural needs of the people.
Therefore, the "cake" should not only be bigger, but also more "delicious". On the road to common prosperity, we must not only enrich our "pockets", but also enrich our "heads".
To enrich the people and bring security to the world, forge ahead bravely and strive to be the first.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has placed more importance on promoting the common prosperity of all people, and has taken effective measures to ensure and improve people's livelihood, lead hundreds of millions of people to win the battle against poverty, and unite and lead the whole party and the whole country The people of all ethnic groups have built a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, laying a solid foundation for solidly promoting common prosperity.
On February 7, 2023, at the opening ceremony of the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary explained a series of major theoretical and practical issues of Chinese-style modernization in depth. In this "first lesson in the first year" for new members, alternate members, and major leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels of the Central Committee, the General Secretary once again emphasized that Chinese-style modernization is a modernization of common prosperity for all people.
A branch and a leaf are always about love. When the general secretary talked about the big issue of "common prosperity", he did not bluntly preach or use difficult and obscure language, but eloquently. The metaphor of "cake" is simple, natural and down-to-earth, which makes people suddenly enlightened and realize the profound meaning contained in it while listening easily.
This is not only the general secretary's speech style and language characteristics, but also a vivid manifestation of the candid and pragmatic demeanor of a leader of a major country.
