On March 4th, Comrade Hu Jintao's speech on establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace when he visited CPPCC members aroused strong repercussions among the delegates.
Comrade Hu Jintao said that in our socialist society, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness should not be confused, and we should take a clear-cut stand on what we insist on, what we oppose, what we advocate and what we resist.
Comrade Hu Jintao stressed that it is necessary to guide the broad masses of cadres and people, especially young people, to establish a socialist concept of honor and disgrace, to be proud of loving the motherland, endangering the motherland, serving the people, deviating from the people, advocating science, being ignorant, struggling hard, being lazy and disgusted with work, uniting and helping each other, harming others, being honest and trustworthy, forgetting profits and abiding by integrity.
The general secretary's eight aspects of the concept of honor and disgrace are incisive and profound.
Establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace has grasped a problem that the broad masses of cadres and people are generally concerned about at present. This is a fundamental problem in building a harmonious socialist society, which embodies the overall layout of China's socialist modernization under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, is an organic combination of governing the country by law and by virtue, and is an organic unity of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction.
What is the concept of honor and disgrace? The concept of honor and disgrace is determined by the world outlook, outlook on life and values. Different views of honor and disgrace are the reflection of different world outlook, outlook on life and values. The concept of honor and disgrace permeates the whole social life, which not only affects the social atmosphere, embodies the social value orientation, marks the degree of social civilization, but also has a great reaction to social and economic development.
How to understand the concept of honor and disgrace in history? The concept of honor and disgrace has existed since ancient times. Ancient thinkers in China always attached great importance to the concept of honor and disgrace. The aphorisms and aphorisms such as "You can't be an adult without knowing honor and disgrace", "It's better to destroy others than to disgrace them" and "You'd rather be poor than ambitious, and you can't be rich and lose your integrity" all show that ancient philosophers put honor and disgrace in the same important position as personality. This is our nation's precious ideological wealth, and it also has positive reference significance for us to carry out the education of socialist concept of honor and disgrace today.
The concept of honor and disgrace of different nationalities in different times is different. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace put forward by Comrade Hu Jintao focuses on the overall development of contemporary China, faces the future of the Chinese nation, closely links with the outstanding problems existing in the current social atmosphere, absorbs the essence of China's traditional concept of honor and disgrace, and has strong nationality, times and practicality.
What is the realistic pertinence of the socialist concept of honor and disgrace? Modern society is generally open and inclusive, but it still has its own bottom line and criteria on some basic issues. The diversity of modern social life gives everyone the freedom to choose their own lifestyle. But no matter how you choose, you can't leave the bottom line of being a man, you can't reverse right and wrong, take ugliness as beauty, evil as goodness, and be proud of shame. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace is the social values and personal outlook on life that we must establish when transforming from traditional society to modern society. It should be the knowledge of our society, and it should also be the criterion for everyone to be a man.
Comrade Hu Jintao's important speech on the concept of honor and disgrace is in line with people's ideological reality and has distinctive characteristics of the times, which will surely arouse strong repercussions among the broad masses of cadres and people.
