From ancient times to the present, there are very few beautiful texts that have influenced the political civilization, personality behavior and cultural thinking of the Chinese nation with one article. The famous writer Liang Heng selected ten amazing articles in political history from a vast sea of ancient articles. They have become the classics of Chinese civilization, the coordinates of China's political history and the backbone of literary history for more than two thousand years.
I. Jia Yi's "On Passing the Qin" (excerpt)
And to the First Emperor, Yu Lie, Zhen Chang Ce and Yu Yu Nei, swallowed the princes of the second week and died, performed the supreme and made the Liuhe, and the world was whipped and whipped, and the world was viberated. Taking the land of Baiyue in the south, thinking that guilin and Xiang County, the king of Baiyue bowed his head and tied his neck, and entrusted his subordinates. It was to make Meng Tian build the Great Wall and guard the fence, but the Xiongnu were more than 700 miles. The Hu people did not dare to go south and herd horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and complain. So he abolished the way of the first king, burned the words of a hundred families, and made a fool of himself; he named the city, killed Haojie, collected the soldiers of the world, gathered the Xianyang, and sold the fengdi, and cast them into the golden twelve, and the people of the weak world. Then practice Hua City, because the river is a pool, according to the city of billions, facing the abyss of the unexpected, thinking that it is solid. Liang will guard the key points, and the faithful will be able to guard Chen Libing and who is ho. The world has been determined, the heart of the first emperor, thinking that it is the solidity of Guanzhong, the golden city is thousands of miles, and the inheritance of the descendants of the emperor is also the inheritance of the world.
The First Emperor was neither, and Yu Wei was shocked by the special customs. However, Chen Shi was the son of the Urn, the man of the Rogue, and the one who migrated; the talent was not as good as the Middle Man, not the zhongni, the sage of Mo Zhai, the rich of Tao Zhu and Yi Dun; the one who crept between the feet and the stubbornness of the stranger, led the tired pawns, turned hundreds of people to attack Qin, cut wood into soldiers, unveiled poles as banners, and the world gathered to respond, winning grain and following the scene. Shandong Haojun rose up and died of the Qin people.
And the world is not small and weak, the land of Yongzhou, the solidity of Kunhan, and the self-reliance. Chen Shi's position is not honored by the kings of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Song, Wei, and Zhongshan; the hoe is not in the hook and the sword; the people who are in charge, not the divisions of the Nine Kingdoms; the foresight, the way of marching and using soldiers, not the people of the times. However, success or failure changes, and the merit is the opposite, why not? If you try to make the kingdom of Shandong and Chen Shidu long and large, and the power is greater than the power, you cannot speak in the same year. However, Qin took the land of a simple area, to the power of ten thousand multipliers, ordered the eight states and the same column, and had more than a hundred years; and then took Liuhe as the home, and Kunhan as the palace; one husband made difficulties and the seven temples were hidden, dead hands, for the world's laughter, why not? Benevolence and righteousness do not do but attack and defend the situation is different.
Jia Yi's "On Passing the Qin" explores why a regime will perish. Those who govern must govern with benevolence and must not oppose the people. Later, the phrase "chop wood for soldiers, unveiling poles for banners" commonly used during the peasant uprising is mentioned, which is from this chapter.
II. Sima Qian's Book of Bao Ren An (excerpt)
Shao Qing's foot: The person who insults the book, teaches to be cautious in receiving things, pushes the wise and advanced into the army, and is diligent and diligent. If the servant does not conform to the teacher, but in the words of the layman, the servant does not dare to do so. Although the servants were dismissed, they also tasted the legacy of the elders. Gu thinks that his body is crippled, he moves and sees you, and he wants to gain and lose, and he is depressed and has no one to say. As the saying goes, "Who did it?" Why listen? "Gai Zhongzi died during the period, and Bo Ya never returned to the drum and piano for life." Why? Soldiers are used for those who know themselves, and women are for those who speak for themselves. If the servant's quality is already in deficit, although he is easy-going, if he acts by yiyi, he will not be proud in the end, and it is enough to laugh and point his ears.
Servants: Self-cultivators, wisdom charms; lovers, benevolent ends; givers, righteous manifestations; shame, courage and determination; fame makers, extreme deeds. The scholar has these five, and then he can be entrusted to the world and listed in the forest of gentlemen. Therefore, the misfortune is not to be ashamed of the desire for profit, the sorrow is not to be sad, the act is not ugly to insult the first, and the criticism is greater than the palace punishment. The remnants of the punishment are incomparable, not one lifetime, and they have never been far away. Xi Wei Linggong and Yongqu tongzai, Confucius Shi Chen; Shang Martin because of jingjian, Zhao Liang's cold heart; tongzi participation, Yuan Si discoloration: shame from ancient times! A man of middle material, a man of medium material, is not hurt by the eunuchs, but is not a generous man! Although the imperial court is now short of people, why not make the sword saw, recommend the world's heroic handsomeness! Servants have been in the footsteps of their ancestors for more than twenty years. Therefore, the self-only: the superior, can not accept loyalty and allegiance, has the reputation of the strength of the strange strategy, and self-knotted the Lord; secondly, can not pick up the missing and make up for the gap, recruit talents into the ability, show the grotto of the soldiers; outside, can not prepare for the army, siege the city and field battles, have the merit of slashing the flag; the next, can not accumulate day and day, take the honor of the official Houlu, think that the clan is the best of the world. None of the four is accomplished, and the effect of taking advantage of each other and having no short and long effect can be seen here. The townspeople, the servants also tasted the toilet doctors, and accompanied the foreign court to the end of the discussion. If you do not lead wei gang at this time, and think about it with all your thoughts, now that you have lost your form as a subordinate to sweep away, in the midst of the thorax, you want to raise your eyebrows and discuss right and wrong, and do not you also despise the court and the people of the world who are ashamed of the evil? Woohoo! Woohoo! If the servant is still talking! What a word!
The servants are not the first to dissect the Work of the Book of Dan, the Literary and Historical Ephemeris, almost between the Blessings, the teasing of the Lord, the promotion of excellence, and the lightness of the customs. If the servant fa is cursed, if the nine cattle die a dime, how can it be different from the ants? And the world is not compared with those who can die, especially thinking that the wisdom is extremely poor, and it cannot be avoided, and the pawn will die. Why? Su self-established also. Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hong Mao, and the use of the trend is also different.
【Comments】 Sima Qian's "Book of Baoren An" explores the value of life and puts forward a standard for being a person: "Man is inherently dead, and death is either heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hong Mao. The idiom "A soldier dies for a confidant, and a woman is a person who pleases herself" is from this chapter.
III. Zhuge Liang's "Table of Teachers" (excerpt)
Chen Liangyan: The first emperor did not start a business halfway and the middle road collapsed, today the next three points, Yizhou is tired, this sincere is in danger of survival in the autumn. However, the ministers of the guards are unremitting inside, and the loyal people forget to be outside, and they want to repay His Majesty for the special encounters of the former emperor. It is advisable to open a holy listen, with the legacy of the Guangxian Emperor, to promote the spirit of the heroes, not to be arrogant and thin, to quote the unrighteous, in order to plug the road of loyalty.
Pro-Xianchen, far from the little man, this first Han so Xinglong also; pro-small people, far xianchen, after that Han so the decadence also. When the former emperor was there, whenever he discussed this matter with his subjects, he did not hesitate to sigh and hate Huan and Lingye. Servant Zhong, Shang Shu, Chang Shi, join the army, this Courtier of the Festival of Death, may His Majesty be close and believe, then the Han Chamber's long, can be counted and waited.
The subject is clothed, ploughing in Nanyang, and his whole life is in the chaotic world, and he does not seek to reach the princes. The former emperor did not despise his subjects, and he was self-deprecating, and the three ministers were in the grass, and the counselors were grateful for the affairs of the world, so they allowed the former emperor to drive away. After the fall of the value, he was appointed to the defeated army, and was ordered to be in danger: Erlai twenty years had one year.
The former emperor knew that the subjects were cautious, so he sent his subjects to the collapse of the emperor with great things. Since he was ordained, he has lamented at night, fearing that the entrustment will not be effective, so as to hurt the ming of the former emperor; therefore, in May, he crossed the lu and went deep into the barren. Now the south has been determined, the armor has been sufficient, when the award led the three armies, the north fixed the Central Plains, shu exhausted the blunt, eliminated the traitors, revived the Han room, and returned to the old capital. Therefore, this subject reported to the former emperor and was loyal to His Majesty's office.
May His Majesty entrust his subjects with the effect of reviving the thief, and if it does not work, he will cure the sins of his subjects, so as to tell the spirit of the former emperor. If there is no word of Xingde, it is necessary to blame the slowness of the people, Yi, and Yun, so as to show his guilt; His Majesty should also conspire with himself, to consult the good way, to say that he has spoken, and to pursue the edicts of the former emperor. The subject was grateful.
Now stay away, on the verge of zero, do not know what to say.
【Comments】 Zhuge Liang's "Table of Teachers" puts forward the loyal way of being a subject and the spirit of diligence and dedication. Famous phrases such as "Bow down and die later", "Pro-virtuous subjects, far lesser people", "Appointed to the defeated army, ordered in times of danger" and so on are widely circulated.
IV. Tao Yuanming's "The Tale of the Peach Blossom Origin" (excerpt)
In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their profession. Edge creek line, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shores, no miscellaneous trees, delicious herbs, colorful fall, fishermen are very different. Go back and forth, wanting to exhaust the forest.
When the forest is exhausted, there will be a mountain, and the mountain will have a small mouth, as if there is light. Ditch the boat and enter through the mouth. The beginning is very narrow, and it is only through people. Repeat dozens of steps, suddenly enlightened. The land is flat, the houses are like houses, and there is a good field of Miike mulberry bamboo. Strange traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hanging down and enjoying himself.
When he saw the fisherman, he was horrified and asked where he had come from. Answered. Then they will return home and set up wine to kill chickens for food. The village heard of this person, and Xian came to inquire. Since Yun's ancestors avoided the chaos of Qin, he led his wife Yiren to this desperate situation, did not come back, and was separated from outsiders. Ask what world it is, but I don't know whether there is a Han, no matter Wei Jin. This person sighed one by one for what he had heard. The rest of the people went back to their homes and all drank and ate. Stop for a few days and resign. This middle man said: "Not enough for outsiders to be humane." ”
【Comments】 Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Origin" depicts the blueprint of an ideal society in a literary way, from which the shadow of Lao Zhuang's philosophy and utopian socialism can be seen. Western political masterpieces "Utopia" and "Sun City" are similar to them. "Taohuayuan Zhongren" and "only know Qin and Han, do not know Jin and Wei", has become a common idiom used by later generations. And "Peach Blossom Garden" is already synonymous with ideal society and beautiful scenery.
V. Wei Zheng's Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong (Excerpt)
Subjects: He who seeks the elders of the wood will consolidate its roots; he who desires to flow far will dredge his fountain; and he who thinks of the peace of the country will accumulate his virtue and righteousness. The source is not deep but looks far away, the root is not solid but the length of the wood, the virtue is not thick and thinks of the peace of the country, although the subject is foolish, he knows that he cannot do it, but the situation is better than the Mingzhehu? When a man is the weight of the artifact and the great in the realm, he will revere the majesty of the heavens and forever maintain the rest of the boundless. Do not think of living in peace and thinking of danger, abstain from extravagance and frugality, virtue does not treat its thickness, and its feelings are overwhelmed by its desires, si yifa root in order to seek wood Mao, saiyuan and want to flow long.
All the heads of state, who inherit the destiny of heaven, do not hesitate to be worried and preach, accomplish and decline, those who have a good beginning are prosperous, and those who can overcome the end are widowed. Isn't it easy to keep? What was more than enough in the past, but what is not enough to keep now? The husband will be treated with dedication in earnest, and the established will indulge in pride; the dedication will be Wu and Yue as one, and the proud will be the way of flesh and bones. Although Dong Zhi was severely punished and shocked with anger, he was spared without mercy in the end, and he was respectful but not convinced. Resentment is not great, but fearful, but people, and it is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat over a boat. Running car decay rope, can it be ignored?
If a monarch can see what he wants, he will know enough to discipline himself; if he thinks of what he will do, he will think of stopping and calming people; if he thinks of high danger, he will think of humility and rush and shepherd himself; if he is afraid of overflowing, he will think of the rivers and the sea and the hundred rivers; if he is full of joy, he will think of three drives to think of the degree; if he is worried and sluggish, he will think cautiously and respect the end; if he is worried about hiding, he will think of humility to accept it; if he is afraid of evil, he will think of dethronement; if he is grateful, he will think of no cause and reward with false rewards; and if he is punished, he will think of being angry and punish indiscriminately. In total, these ten thoughts, the nine virtues of Hongzi, the simplicity of being able to do it, the choice of good and obedience, the wise do their best, the brave do their best, the benevolent sow their benefits, the believers serve their loyalty; the civil and martial arts are in contention, the monarchs have nothing to do, they can enjoy the pleasure of yuyu, they can raise the life of Song Qiao, and the piano is arched, and it goes without saying. Why bother thinking hard, taking over the duties, serving the eyes and ears of the wise, and losing nothing?
Wei Zheng's Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong explores how a political power can be consolidated and shapes a more ideal model of monarch-vassal relationship. He put forward "thinking of danger in times of peace, refraining from extravagance and thriftiness", "carrying a boat to overturn a boat, it is advisable to be cautious", and proposing that "all the former heads of state, inherit the destiny of the heavens, the good starter is prosperous, and the one who overcomes the end is widowed". This is the law of the cycle of political power that Huang Yanpei and Mao Zedong talked about in Yan'an in 1945. Later generations often said "think of danger in times of peace", "good beginning and good end", "water can carry boats to overturn boats", mainly for this reason.
VI. Fan Zhongyan's "Memoirs of Yueyang Lou" (excerpt)
Yu Guan Fu Baling victory, in Dongting a lake. Distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, Haohao soup, horizontal endless; sunrise and sunset, the weather is endless. This is the grand view of Yueyang Lou, and the previous people's descriptions are prepared. However, the north through the Wuxia Gorge, the Antarctic Xiaoxiang, the relocation of the rioters, more will be here, the love of the scenery, is no different?
If the husband is rainy and rainy, the moon does not open, the wind is angry, the turbid waves are empty; the sun and the stars are hidden, the mountains are submerged; the merchants are not good, the trees are destroyed; the twilight is silent, and the tiger roars and the ape cries. Dens Lou also went to the country and nostalgic, worried and ridiculed, full of depression, feeling extremely sad.
To Ruochun and Jingming, the waves are not alarming, the sky is bright, a blue and a million acres; sand gulls soar, brocade swimming; shore Zhi Tinglan, lush green. And or long smoke empty, Haoyue thousands of miles, floating light leaping gold, silent shadow, fishing songs answer each other, this music is very much! Dens Lou also has a relaxed heart, spoils and forgets, puts the wine in the wind, and its joy is the one who is happy.
Woohoo! To taste the heart of the Guren people, or the act of the other, what is it? Do not rejoice in things, do not grieve with oneself; those who dwell in the temple are worried about their people; and those who are far away from the rivers and lakes are worried about their kings. It is both forward and worrying, and retreating is also worrying. But when is leyy? It must be known that "the world is worried and worried, and the world is happy and happy"? belch! Weiss people, who am I to return to? (Excerpt)
【Comments】 Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Lou" put forward the concept of "worrying about the world before the world, and enjoying the world after the world". This famous saying became the credo of almost all progressive politicians after Van. Fan's article and Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Origin" have achieved both physical beauty, emotional beauty, and rational beauty, and are models of using literature to interpret politics.
VII. Wen Tianxiang's "Preface to the Song of Righteous Qi"
Heaven and earth have righteous qi, and they are endowed with manifolds. The lower part is the river, and the upper part is the sun. To people know haoran, Pei Hu Cang.
Huang Lu dang Qingyi, Han and Tu Ming Ting. When the seasons are poor, they are all green. In Qi TaiShi Jian, in Jin Dong Fox Pen.
In Qin Zhang Liang, in the Han Su Wu Festival. For the head of General Yan, for the blood of the servants. It is Zhang Suiyang's teeth and Yan Changshan's tongue.
Or for the Liaodong hat, Qingcao Li ice and snow. Or for the sake of the master, the ghost god wept magnificently. Or to cross the river and swallow hu xian generously.
Or for the thief wat, the reverse vertical head is broken. It is majestic and majestic, and it is fierce for eternity. When it runs through the sun and the moon, life and death are settled.
The earth is built on, and the pillar of heaven is respected. The Three Principles are the foundation of life, and morality is the root. Oh to Yang Jiu, and the subordinate is really not strong.
Chu imprisoned his crown and sent a car to the poor north. The wok is as sweet as a gluttony, and it is impossible to get it. The yin room is on fire, and the spring courtyard is closed in darkness.
Cow Ji same soap, chicken perch phoenix food. Once misty, it is divided into ditch barrens. So cold and hot, hundreds of boils are easy to solve.
Oh and the depressed, happy country for me. If you have him, yin and yang cannot be thieves. Gu Geng was there, looking up at the floating clouds.
My heart is sad, and the sky is extreme. The philosopher's day is far away, and the punishment is in the past. Wind eaves exhibition book reading, ancient road illuminated color.
【Comments】 Wen Tianxiang's "Song Of Righteous Qi" put forward the concept of having a righteous temperament for people to have inspired the national heroes of all generations and has become the standard of conduct for Chinese. "Righteousness" has become the banner for defeating all evil and corrupt forces.
VIII. Liang Qichao's "Young China Talks"
If you want to talk about the country's young and old, please speak first of the old and young. The elderly often think about the past, and the young people often think about the future. Thinking of the past is also, so it is born to linger on the heart, but to think about the future, so it is born to be hopeful; only to be nostalgic, so to be conservative, only to hope, so to be enterprising; only to be conservative, so to be old, only to be enterprising, so to be new. But he who thinks of the past and everything is what he has already done, so he knows as usual; but he who thinks of the future, and who thinks of the future, and who has not experienced everything, often dares to break the rules. The elderly are often worried, and the young people are often happy. But there is much sorrow, so discouragement, only happiness, so prosperity; only discouragement, so cowardice, only grandeur, so boldness; only cowardice, so gou and, only heroic, so risky; only gou and also, so can destroy the world, only adventure also, so can create the world. The elderly are often bored, and the young people are often happy. But he who is tired of things is always aware that there is nothing he can do; but he who is also good, therefore always feels that everything can be done. The elderly are like the sunset, the young are like the sunrise; the elderly are like barren cows, and the young are like milk tigers. The difference between the personalities of the elderly and the young is roughly the same, Liang Qichao said: People are inherent, and the country is also appropriate.
Those who cause today's boss China will also be wronged by China's old decay; and those who produce the future young China will also be the responsibility of Chinese teenagers. What is the way of the old and the decaying? The day of his parting from this world is not far away, and my youth is a newcomer to the world. If the youth of the whole country is also a teenager, then China is the country of the future, and its progress is immeasurable. If the youth of the whole country is also the boss, then China is the country of the past, and its demise can be waited for. Therefore, the responsibility today is not others, but all in my youth. The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country; the strength of the youth is the strength of the country, the independence of the teenager is the independence of the country; the freedom of the youth is the freedom of the country, the progress of the youth is the progress of the country; the youth is better than Europe, the country is better than Europe, and the youth is stronger than the earth. The red sun rises, and its path is great. The river flows out of the river, and the ocean flows. The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws fly. The milk tiger roared in the valley, and the hundred beasts trembled. Eagle falcons test their wings, and the wind and dust are blowing. Strange flowers first born, the emperor. Dry will be hairy, there is a man. The sky wears its cang, the earth walks its yellow, even if there are thousands of ages, there are eight wildernesses. The future is like the sea, and the coming to Japan is long. Beauty my young China, and the sky is not old; magnificent my Chinese teenager, with the country without borders!
【Comments】 Liang Qichao's "Young China Talk" opposes conservatism and advocates innovation. It proposes to abandon the old and decaying China, create a young China, and revitalize the Chinese nation. Almost the entire text is full of beautiful words.
IX. Lin Juemin's "Letter with Wife"
Yi YingQing Qingru:
I am saying goodbye to Ru Yong with this book! When I wrote this book, I was still one of the world's people; when I read this book, I had become a ghost in Hades. When I wrote this book, the tears and the pen and ink went down together, and I could not write the book and wanted to put the pen down. Fearing that Ru did not perceive my heart, he said that I would endure Ru and die, and that I did not know that Ru did not want me to die, so I endured sorrow as Ru said.
I love You! That is, this love Ru a thought, so that I dare to die also! Since I met Ru, I have always wished that all lovers in the world would become dependents, but there were fishy clouds everywhere, and the streets were full of wolfhounds, and I was happy. Sima Qingyi, I can't learn too much to forget my feelings. Yu Yun, benevolent "old and old and old, young and young and young". I am full of my heart for Ru, helping the people of the world to love what they love, so I dare to die first, regardless of Ruye. Ru Ti my heart, in addition to crying, also think of the people of the world, when Yi Le sacrificed the welfare of my body and the body of Ru, for the people of the world to seek eternal happiness. Don't be sad.
Ru recalled that four or five years ago, one night, I tasted the words: "With the envoy I died first, and there was no Ning Ru who died before me." "Ru was angry at first, but after I gently explained, although I did not say that my words were right, I did not have any words to answer. I mean that if You are weak, you will not be able to forbid my sorrow, and I will die first to leave suffering and Ru, and I will not bear it, so I would rather ask Ru to die first, and I will bear sorrow. Oh man, who knows if I died before I died!
I really can't forget Ruya! Remember the backstreet house, the entrance through the corridor, through the front and back halls, and three or four folds there are small halls, and the room next to the hall is the place where I and Ru live. Three or four months after the first marriage, before and after the winter's look, the moon shadow outside the window is sparsely hidden, I and Ru work hand in hand, low and low, what is not to say, what is not to complain! And now that I think about it, there are empty tear stains! I also recalled that six or seven years ago, when I had escaped from home and returned to my home, Ru wept and told me: "I hope that there will be a long journey in the future, and I will tell my concubines, and my concubines will accompany the king." "I have also promised Youyi. When he returned home for more than ten days, he wanted to take advantage of this deed to speak ru, and in contrast to ru, he could not open his mouth, and with ru's body, he was even more afraid of sorrow, so he cried out for wine and drunk every day. Woohoo! At that time, the sadness of the rest of the heart could not be described as an inch.
I sincerely wish to die with Ru. From the perspective of today's situation, natural disasters can die, thieves can die, melons can die on a day, adulterous officials and corrupt people can die, my generation is in today's China, and there is no land in the country that can die all the time! Then I will be able to see Ru die, or to see me die! Or the power of ru! That is, not to die, and to disperse without seeing each other, to make the eyes of the two places wear and bone fossils, try to ask how many ancient people have seen the broken mirror can be reunited, then it is more painful to die. What will it be? Today I and Ru Xing Shuangjian; everyone in the world should not die and die, and those who do not want to leave, can not be counted; those who love like my generation, can bear it? This is why I dare to die recklessly and ignore Ruye! I have no regrets in my death today, the state affairs cannot be accomplished, and there are comrades in my own. Yi Xin is five years old, and in the blink of an eye, he caresses him and makes him look like me. What is in the womb of Ru, I suspect that her daughter is also, and the woman will be like Ru, and my heart is very comforted; or if she is a man, I also teach her to take the father's will as the ambition, then after I die, there are still two intentions in the cave, and I am very fortunate!
My family will be very poor in the future, poor and suffering, and live a quiet life.
【Comments】 Lin Juemin's "Letter with Wife" calls for republicanism and rings the death knell of thousands of years of feudal dynasties. Once again, he shouted loudly, "The old man and the old man, the young man and the young man", sacrificing the individual and serving the motherland.
X. Mao Zedong's Serving the People (Excerpt)
People always have to die, but the meaning of death is different. In ancient China, a literary scholar named Sima Qian said: "Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hong Mao." "To die for the interests of the people is heavier than Tarzan; to die for the fascists, to die for those who exploit and oppress the people, is lighter than the feathers." Comrade Zhang Side died for the interests of the people, and his death was heavier than Taishan.
Because we serve the people, if we have shortcomings, we are not afraid of criticism and pointing them out. Whoever points it out to us can do it. As long as you're right, we'll correct it. The method you say is good for the people, and we will do as you please. The idea of "streamlining the army and streamlining the administration" was put forward by Mr. Li Dingming, a person outside the party; he put forward it well and it is good for the people, so we have adopted it. As long as we uphold what is good for the interests of the people and correct what is wrong for the interests of the people, our contingent will certainly flourish.
We are all from all over the world, for a common revolutionary goal, come together. We also have to follow this path with the majority of the people of the country. Today we have led the base areas of ninety-one million people, but this is not enough, it must be bigger, in order to achieve the liberation of the whole nation. In difficult times, our comrades must see achievements, see the light, see hope, and enhance our courage. Chinese people are suffering, we have a responsibility to save them, and we have to fight hard. To struggle there is sacrifice, and the dead happen often. But when we think of the interests of the people, of the suffering of the majority of the people, we die for the people, we die for what they deserve. However, we should minimize those unnecessary sacrifices. Our cadres must care for every soldier, and all the people in the revolutionary contingent must care for each other, love each other, and help each other.
In the future, no matter who dies in our ranks, whether it is a cook or a soldier, as long as he has done some useful work, we will send him a funeral and hold a memorial service. It's going to be a system. This method should also be introduced to the common people. Murakami's people died, and a memorial service was held. In this way, we will send our condolences to unite the whole people.
The idea of serving the people put forward by Mao Zedong's "Serving the People" has become the purpose of communists in building the party and the country, and has become the criterion for testing the success or failure of a political regime, good or bad.
