* * * Tongfuyu, an ancient and fresh word, is even louder in the new historical period. It is ancient because it is an important part of China's traditional social ideal and has always been the pursuit of China people. Say fresh, because after the evolution of "get rich first", * * realized new returns with wealth.

Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, we have taken "getting rich first" as a basic principle of economic and social development, encouraged some regions and some people to get rich first through honest labor in terms of systems and policies, broke the shackles of egalitarianism, greatly mobilized the enthusiasm and creativity of workers, promoted rapid economic and social development, and improved people's living standards.

However, after more than 20 years, the disadvantages of "getting rich first" are constantly emerging. With the rapid economic development, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening day by day, and social differentiation is serious. I don't need to list the relevant figures reflecting the gap between the rich and the poor. Such figures can be found in various media reports. A very important manifestation of this drawback is that a few people have the fruits of reform, but most people do not enjoy such fruits equally, which hurts the feelings of most people and will inevitably affect the healthy development of China's economy.

The prosperity of a few people is not prosperity, and the development of a few people is not development. To implement Scientific Outlook on Development, comprehensively promote the construction of a well-off society and vigorously build a harmonious society, it is necessary for a few people to develop and a few people to be rich, so as to achieve all-round development and common prosperity.

The Central Committee's Proposal on Formulating the Eleventh Five-Year Plan adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee takes "* * * Common Prosperity" as the theme, which aims to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and reverse the trend of social polarization, and reflects the new central leadership collective's strategic vision of sizing up the situation, grasping the law of social development and socialist construction, and paying great attention to people's livelihood, reflecting the requirements of China's sustained economic development and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

To achieve * * * and prosperity, I always believe that policy equality must be achieved first. It is necessary to make new adjustments in policies, which is not conducive to the development of policies. The policy should be abandoned, and the unequal discriminatory policy should be eliminated. This is the basic premise. At the same time, when formulating policies, we should fully take care of the interests and needs of most classes and people and create policy conditions for them to develop and become rich.

Of course, emphasizing wealth is definitely not egalitarianism, nor is it equality between the rich and the poor. History has proved that this is utopia and utopian socialism, and it will not work. * * * and prosperity are based on justice and equality, and on competition. Of course there is a difference. This gap is reasonable, harmonious and acceptable to all classes.

Realizing national rejuvenation, building a harmonious society, promoting Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause and prosperity are the choices we must make and the common aspirations and responsibilities of the people of all ethnic groups in China.

How to correctly understand "achieving * * * common prosperity"?

* * * Richness is a red line that runs through Deng Xiaoping's economic theory, an important part of Deng Xiaoping Theory, a fundamental sign that socialism is different from capitalism, a banner, beacon and pointer of socialism, and an important condition for achieving social stability and prosperity. Therefore, Deng Xiaoping systematically expounded the thought of * * * and prosperity from different angles, and formed a series of related viewpoints.

I * * * and the essence of prosperity and socialism

* * * Richness is the inherent requirement and fundamental purpose of the essence of socialism. Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "The essence of socialism is to liberate and develop productive forces, eliminate exploitation and polarization, and finally achieve prosperity." The five points mentioned here are a whole: liberating and developing productive forces is the premise and foundation for achieving prosperity (in terms of productive forces); Eliminating exploitation and polarization is the guarantee to achieve prosperity (in terms of production relations); * * * Richness is the ultimate goal of socialism. Emancipating and developing productive forces and adhering to the socialist system that eliminates exploitative and polarized relations of production are the fundamental conditions for achieving the ultimate goal of * * * and prosperity. Without these conditions, there would be no prosperity and prosperity; * * * Take prosperity as the ultimate goal, lead the productive forces and relations of production, and give them a clear socialist direction and significance. Without this goal, the development of productive forces and relations of production is not the development of socialism. So: "To take the socialist road, we must gradually realize the prosperity of * * *."

* * * Richness is the characteristic that distinguishes socialism from any previous society, and it can best reflect the superiority and essence of socialism. Deng Xiaoping clearly pointed out: "The purpose of socialism is to make the people of the whole country rich together, not to be polarized. If our policies lead to polarization, we will fail. " "The difference between socialism and capitalism is that the people of the whole country should be rich and not polarized."

Second, * * * and prosperity and the basic socialist economic system.

When discussing the essence of socialism, Deng Xiaoping did not mention public ownership and distribution according to work, but it existed as an established premise, and its meaning implied that "eliminating exploitation and polarization" was public ownership and distribution according to work from the perspective of the basic socialist economic system. Because only public ownership and distribution according to work can have the function and characteristics of achieving prosperity. The dominant position of public ownership and distribution according to work essentially determines that socialism should be a rich society, and public ownership and distribution according to work are the fundamental guarantee to achieve prosperity.

Iii. Prospering the socialist market economy

The relationship between socialist market economy and prosperity is both unified and contradictory. The main reason is that the socialist market economy has both the characteristics of the general market economy and its own personality characteristics.

As far as market economy is concerned, it is competitive and differentiated.

But the socialist market economy is the product of the combination of market economy and the basic socialist system. The socialist market economy will surely achieve prosperity. This is because: 1, the socialist market economy is dominated by public ownership and requires people to share the means of production, which can fundamentally ensure the realization of * * * and prosperity. 2. The socialist market economy implements the distribution system with distribution according to work as the main body. Distribution according to work not only gives consideration to efficiency and fairness, but also widens the income gap reasonably, prevents polarization, and gradually realizes * * * and prosperity. 3. The socialist market economy can effectively implement the macro-control of the country, especially the macro-control of income, which is helpful to eliminate polarization and achieve prosperity.

Although exploitation and polarization still exist under the conditions of socialist market economy, it will not damage the subject and essence of socialism, nor will it hinder the socialist market economy, promote overall production and accelerate the pace of prosperity.

Iv. Prospering socialist spiritual civilization

As the fundamental purpose of socialism, Marx called it: "The purpose is the prosperity of all the people." Deng Xiaoping summed it up as: "* * * is money." * * * Richness includes not only material wealth, but also cultural and spiritual wealth. The prosperity of cultural and spiritual life means the improvement of spiritual civilization. It is not the kind that socialism pursues that only material life is rich without cultural and spiritual life.

Material life is the foundation of cultural and spiritual life. In order to enrich people's spiritual and cultural life, improve the level of spiritual civilization and overcome the negative effects in this respect, the key is to vigorously develop productive forces and improve people's material living standards. In this regard, Deng Xiaoping said: "Material is the foundation. People's material life will get better, their cultural level will improve, and their mental outlook will change greatly. "

At the same time, we should also see that for material life, culture and spiritual life have relative independence and great reaction, which provides strong spiritual motivation, intellectual support and ideological guarantee for the construction of material civilization. Therefore, we must strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization at any time, and we cannot ignore or even deny the objective role of spiritual civilization.

Five, step by step, and gradually realize * * * and prosperity.

When talking about * * * and prosperity, Deng Xiaoping repeatedly emphasized "step by step" to achieve * * * and prosperity. "Step by step" here has two meanings: (1) From the vertical perspective of social and historical development, it is an objective material accumulation process that needs to be carried out step by step. (2) From the cross section of a certain historical development stage, some people and regions are allowed to get rich first through honest labor and legal management, and then help and drive more people of all ethnic groups and even the whole country to get rich. Allowing and encouraging some people to get rich first is the means to realize the common prosperity of the people of all ethnic groups in China, and achieving common prosperity is the purpose and result of some people getting rich first. In order to avoid polarization in this process, we must correctly handle the relationship between getting rich first and getting rich later and unify the three. It can be seen that the realization of * * * and prosperity is a dynamic and asynchronous process of prosperity.

What should be included in "* * * with prosperity"?

Recently, with the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" put forward, "common prosperity * * * has become a hot topic. From "some people get rich first" to "* * * common prosperity", this is a great change and a major adjustment of the work focus of the party and the state. People all over the country are eager to build a more harmonious, stable and prosperous society.

How to achieve "prosperity with * * *" is a very complicated and huge subject. In my opinion, to achieve prosperity with * * *, we must let the broad masses of the people have a fuller right to speak and participate in various social affairs and government decision-making. In other words, the government's decision-making process should be fully democratic.

First of all, it should be made clear that "* * * being rich together" does not simply refer to the average income level of ordinary people. It is not only a narrow economic meaning, but also a series of comprehensive factors such as education level, medical and health conditions, living environment, etc., including making ordinary people have a healthy, comfortable and harmonious living environment. In this sense, "* * * with prosperity" is to meet the most fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

The most fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people are reflected in all aspects of social life, which are closely related to the vital interests of the people such as food, clothing, housing, education, medical care and culture. Then, some government actions related to these people's interests, such as the formulation of policies and regulations, the formation of decisions, etc. People should be given full voice and participation. Only in this way can we give full play to the wisdom of the people, avoid some blind decisions divorced from the masses, reduce waste, and truly make what the government does truly serve the interests of the people.

Secondly, the participation of the broad masses of the people is conducive to strengthening supervision over the government, thus effectively eliminating corruption. Corruption is a stumbling block to prosperity and building a harmonious society. Practice has proved that the supervision of the broad masses of the people is a very effective measure to prevent corruption. As a social phenomenon, corruption is very difficult if it only depends on the work of public security organs. On this issue, we should carry forward the party's fine tradition of mobilizing the masses and taking the mass line. For example, if the decision-making process is not open to the people and there is no supervision from the people, it is likely that some government officials and profiteers will collude with each other, so that huge social wealth will flow into the pockets of a few people and eventually the people will pay the bill. If a decision, such as the construction of a municipal project, allows the general public to fully participate in the discussion, and the bidding process is fully open, let the public know: what benefits the project can bring to the people, who won the bid, what is the amount, why is this figure, and what quality requirements should be achieved. In this way, the activity space of corrupt elements is greatly compressed.

It is a good phenomenon that some places set up a hearing system before some policies and measures were introduced. However, the existing hearing needs to be improved in terms of the number of participants and the way of selecting people, and its influence is not big enough. Whether to hold a hearing on something or not is decided by the government itself, which lacks clear provisions of relevant laws and regulations. We look forward to a more perfect and reasonable system.

Leave appropriate space for nature to light.

Hurricane Katrina recently swept through the States along the Gulf Coast of the United States, causing huge losses. Humans are not passively resigned to their fate. In the United States, before Katrina came, the meteorological department made a more accurate forecast, and the Department of Homeland Security also issued an evacuation order. After the disaster, the government and the army also launched active emergency rescue measures. In China, before the arrival of "Mai Sha" and "Teli", the central and local meteorological departments also made more accurate forecasts. However, in the face of amazing natural disasters, people's lives and property still suffer heavy losses. In the face of nature, human beings are always small and fragile.

Today, when human civilization is highly developed, why is human still so fragile in front of nature? In-depth analysis is caused by many reasons.

In the future, mankind will have more work to do, too much effort to pay and more awareness of natural disasters. Using the power of science and technology to accurately predict and effectively and quickly rescue disasters is the top priority of these tasks.

We can see that in the development of human beings, the less we evaluate the ability of our homes to withstand natural tests, the less space we leave for nature, and the buffer against natural disasters will gradually disappear. Why is the hurricane disaster in New Orleans so great? That's because human beings have not left proper space for nature. On the road of urban expansion and development, in today's economic development, they have not followed the laws of nature and embarked on the road of unsustainable development.

It is not that human beings don't want to change and develop, let alone build and create. However, urban expansion and economic development must leave appropriate space for nature. Because the environment and space we live in are natural. At the same time, it also leaves room for nature, just as our computer has enough memory to make the machine run normally and fully.
