Learning every day丨Understand Xi Jinping's philosophy of life first from an allusion

  On September 8, at the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, incisively summarizing and profoundly explaining the great anti-epidemic spirit of the supremacy of life, the unity of the nation, the sacrifice of life and death, respect for science, and shared destiny.

  In his nearly 10,000-character speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping mentioned "the people" and "life" many times.

He also clarified the historical and cultural roots of the supremacy of life by using the old saying "to love others and to benefit things is benevolence", which fully demonstrated the profound heritage of Chinese civilization.

【Interpretation】

  "Benevolence" is the core of Confucianism, and Taoism also emphasizes "benevolence". This is where Confucianism and Taoism meet.

But the "benevolence" referred to by Confucianism is mainly for people, while Zhuangzi's "equity theory" extends "benevolence" to all things: "All things are universally loved, and heaven and earth are one." ("Zhuangzi·World") advocates " The love of people and things is benevolence."

To expand "benevolence" to a deeper and wider field, not only "loving others", but also "profits."

The so-called "benefit" refers to the need to care for all living and non-living substances in nature, which fully embodies the Taoist people's idea of ​​harmony with nature and "the harmony between man and nature".

  [Interpretation]

  "Loving others and benefiting things" is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and the spiritual bond on which the Chinese nation depends for survival and development. It has been fully demonstrated in the fight against the epidemic.

  The new crown pneumonia epidemic is a major public health emergency with the fastest spread, the widest range of infections, and the most difficult prevention and control that has occurred in my country since the founding of New China. It is a crisis and a big test for China.

In the face of a sudden and severe epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally directed and deployed, commanded the overall situation, and made decisive decisions, which strengthened the confidence, pooled strength and pointed the direction for the Chinese people in fighting the epidemic.

The Party Central Committee assumes the mission of being highly responsible for the people, always puts the people’s life safety and health in the first place, and earnestly adheres to the people-centered development concept, regardless of the short-term "shutdown" of the economy and the huge pressure on the finances. We must also concentrate all resources and do everything possible to fight the epidemic.

We will mobilize the best doctors, the most advanced equipment, and the most urgently needed resources nationwide, and go all out to invest in the treatment of the epidemic; in the treatment process, no infected person will be missed, and every patient will not be abandoned. All treatment costs should be borne by the state from infants who are only more than 30 hours old to the elderly over a hundred years old... Looking back on the anti-epidemic history, the people are supreme and lives The supremacy is the bright background of China's fight against the epidemic, and it is the general consensus of Chinese society to do our best to save lives.

  Under the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping, China has created countless life miracles and achieved major strategic results in the fight against the epidemic.

The 1.4 billion Chinese people are in the same boat, fighting side by side, and overcoming difficulties together. They have written a great chapter in the struggle between mankind and major infectious diseases with practical actions.

As General Secretary Xi Jinping said: “It is the Chinese people that give us strength and confidence to overcome this epidemic.” “The people are the real heroes. As long as we rely on the people closely, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and realize the Chinese nation. Great Rejuvenation."

  The people are the state, and the state is solid.

A country that cherishes the people will prosper, and a party that seeks happiness for the people will have a long history.
