Chapter 43 Deng Xiaoping's Spiritual Legacy and Scientific Foresight

Ten years ago, Deng Xiaoping left us forever. Ten years later, reviewing his earnest teachings, what kind of spiritual legacy do you think he left for contemporary China? It has been 10 years since Deng Xiaoping left us, and it has been 15 years since his Southern Conversations were published. I think the most important spiritual legacy Deng Xiaoping left us is to emancipate the mind and seek truth from facts. Development is the last word.These ideas are present in his southern conversations.These thoughts in the Southern conversation are very targeted spiritual heritage for us. Please summarize these most important spiritual heritages again.

I have summarized Deng Xiaoping's speeches in the south as follows: The first is to adhere to the firmness and tenacity of reform and opening up. No change, anyone who opposes will be defeated by the people, and the people will not agree.It is a dead end to propose not to engage in socialism, not to engage in reform and opening up, not to develop the economy, not to improve the people's living standards.The second point he pointed out that development is the last word, and we must persist in development. If China's development is too slow, it must develop faster.The development he talked about is about quality and efficiency.He made it very clear that only by developing faster can our country win a place in the world.Article 3 He put forward the theory of the essence of socialism and the standard of "three benefits", which solved the problem of surname "she" and "capital".According to the theory of the essence of socialism and the "three advantages", our reform and opening up is called "social" and not "capital".Fourth, he proposed to grasp with both hands, both hands must be strong, and both civilizations must be well developed.In this regard, he very predictably proposed that anti-corruption should be regarded as a major event. Anti-corruption runs through the entire reform and opening up. Anti-corruption should be fought throughout the entire process of reform and opening up. The construction of a clean government should be regarded as a major event. Grasp.Anti-corruption depends on the legal system, and it is more reliable to rely on the legal system to fight corruption.Article 5 He pointed out that it is mainly anti-"Left", and anti-"Left" is the main problem in China's reform, opening up and modernization.We must be vigilant against right things and oppose them, but the main thing is to oppose "left", because "left" has a revolutionary color and is harmful.The sixth is to address regional disparities and disparities between rich and poor.This is also very predictable.So we revisit these teachings and feel that he is a great statesman who indeed has amazing scientific foresight.One is the anti-corruption I just mentioned, and the other is how to adjust the gap between regions and the gap between rich and poor.He talked about polarization, but our socialist system can solve this problem.Because our development is to let some people get rich first, and some regions get rich first, and then get rich first to drive common prosperity and move towards common prosperity together.In 1992, he could not specifically solve the problems of regional disparity and the gap between the rich and the poor, but by the beginning of the 21st century, we can focus on solving this problem and solve the problem of developing the central and western regions.There is also the adjustment of the gap between rich and poor.How to adjust?Increase taxation, and help the late-rich places to become rich through financial transfers, technology transfers, talent support, and charity.Deng Xiaoping chose a socialist market economy for us.We should bridge the gap between rich and poor through the means of market economy.Deng Xiaoping did not propose a "equalization of the rich and the poor".He didn't mention robbing the rich and giving to the poor.We must also not engage in absolute egalitarianism, and solve the gap between regions by intentionally slowing down the fast places.
