News at 8 o'clock see 丨 Chen Wangdao and the Communist Manifesto: "The taste of truth is very sweet"

See you at 8 o'clock in the news, a little more insight. Meet you on time every morning at 8 o'clock in the morning and look out into the bigger world.

As a comprehensive and systematic exposition of the theory of scientific socialism, the Communist Manifesto was rapidly disseminated as soon as it was introduced into China. So who translated the Communist Manifesto into Chinese? What kind of story is there?

In the early spring of 1920, a thin young man, in a firewood room in Fenshuitang Village, Yiwu, was holding an English version of the Communist Manifesto and a Japanese version of the Communist Manifesto, constantly pondering and deliberating, he was Chen Wangdao, who was translating the Communist Manifesto into Chinese.

Being able to concentrate on translating books, Chen Wangdao's three meals a day were sent to the firewood room by Mother Chen. A dim kerosene lamp, the Japanese and English translations of the English-Chinese Dictionary, the Japanese-Chinese Dictionary, and the Communist Manifesto were distributed on the desk, and Chen Wangdao carefully translated every day.

Mother Chen saw him working day and night, and the whole person lost a circle, so she wrapped a few rice dumplings with glutinous rice and asked him to replenish his body. When the mother brought the rice dumplings to the firewood house, she also put a plate of brown sugar. Later, when my mother asked him aloud outside the house if he needed some brown sugar, he said, "Sweet enough." When her mother came in to clean up the dishes, she saw that Chen Wangdao's mouth was full of ink, but the brown sugar did not move. It turned out that he was only engrossed in his work, and he didn't know how to treat the ink as brown sugar.

After nearly a month of translation research, "it took 5 times the usual effort to translate books", and in late April 1920, Chen Wangdao finally completed the translation of the first Chinese full translation of the Communist Manifesto.

The Chinese translation of the Communist Manifesto, published 101 years ago, is still influencing contemporary young people and leading them to learn Marxist theory. "The taste of truth is very sweet", General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly told the story of Chen Wangdao's translation of the Communist Manifesto when he "dipped in ink to eat rice dumplings and said that the taste was very sweet".

Chen Wangdao's translation of the Communist Manifesto made important ideological preparations for the establishment of the Communist Party of China and the early theoretical construction of the Party. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, generation after generation has made unremitting efforts to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

On the afternoon of June 27, 2021, Gao Shangquan, former deputy director of the State Structural Reform Commission and former president of the China Economic System Reform Research Association, died in Beijing at the age of 92 due to ineffective medical treatment.

Born in 1929, Gao Shangquan served as deputy director of the State Structural Reform Commission in May 1985, and later served as the president of the China Economic System Reform Research Association, the president of the China (Hainan) Reform and Development Research Institute, and the senior adviser of the World Bank. He participated in the drafting of documents for six important central meetings, including the Third Plenary Session of the Twelfth Central Committee in 1984, the Third Plenary Session of the Fourteenth Central Committee in 1993, and the Third Plenary Session of the Sixteenth Central Committee in 2003. His series of reform suggestions on "enterprise autonomy," "commodity economy," and "labor market" have effectively promoted the development of China's reform and opening up cause and reform theory.

Gao Shangquan has a deep relationship with Huawei, and once insisted on "saving" Huawei. In the 1990s, Huawei suffered from the criticism of "surname capital is not surname society". After Gao Shangquan personally went to Shenzhen to investigate, he came to the conclusion that Huawei's ownership form is a new type of collective economy shared by employees. Therefore, he spoke out for Huawei and supported the development of new types of enterprises such as Huawei from the theoretical level.

"Reform" is the pursuit of Noble all his life. In September 2019, on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, Gao Shangquan, who had just celebrated his 90th birthday, said in an exclusive interview with the Beijing News: "Although it is already an old age, reform is still my most important work. Every weekday morning, I would work in the office of the China Economic System Reform Research Association, thinking about reform and writing about reform. Read more >>>

It's graduation season again. Throughout the summer, colleges and universities are busy organizing graduation ceremonies, so that graduates can say goodbye to their campus life in a heavy sense of ceremony. For the school, it is also the "last lesson" for the graduating students, and it is the most concentrated class to relive campus life, feel the campus culture and university spirit.

On June 25, at the graduation ceremony of Inner Mongolia University of Technology, front-line teachers and staff such as chefs, security guards, and school doctors took to the red carpet to award certificates to outstanding graduates. As you can see from the picture, these faculty and staff walked to the podium with great enthusiasm and said in an interview that they were "honored", "honored" and "proud"

This arrangement is still relatively rare. In reality, grassroots faculty and staff rarely have the opportunity to appear on stage, but that doesn't mean their efforts aren't important. It is their silent hard work that ensures that campus life is functioning normally, and they deserve to receive tributes from school teachers and students on formal occasions. Inviting front-line faculty and staff to walk on the red carpet and stand in the spotlight to award certificates to students is undoubtedly a humane scene. This represents a kind of recognition, but also reflects a kind of thoughtfulness - after graduation, those who accompany students "can not be less".

For universities, inviting faculty and staff to the stage to present awards at graduation ceremonies is also the "last lesson" for graduates - a vivid humanistic education. The school tells students with practical actions that everyone on campus is equal, and every profession deserves to be respected, because every "rightful" in life has the silent efforts of others behind it.

Of course, humanistic education is by no means limited to graduation. The enlightenment of the humanistic spirit, the transmission of the people's compatriots and the spirit, should run through the daily teaching, so that it truly becomes part of the "teaching content" of the university.

After a flurry of outbreaks in the UK, Matt Hancock, plagued by scandals, eventually resigned as Health Secretary.

As Health Secretary, Hancock has been a central figure in the UK government's leadership in the fight against COVID-19, making frequent appearances on television to tell the British people to strictly abide by the rules of epidemic prevention and defending the criticism the health sector has received in response to the outbreak. However, the British "Sun" published a video of Hancock's office, Hancock and his married senior assistant kissing in the office, violating the British social epidemic prevention rules. In addition to violating epidemic prevention rules, Hancock is also suspected of abusing his power for personal gain, hiring his lover as a senior consultant.

Even after the cheating scandal was exposed, Hancock initially did not want to resign. Johnson's statement was also "generous", saying he had accepted Hancock's apology and believing the matter was "over". However, as the matter continued to ferment, British newspapers were filled with reports of "double standards" against the political elite. In addition to labour and Liberal Democrat mPs openly demanding Hancock's resignation, many MPs in Hancock's Conservative Party have privately stated that they will no longer support him.

On the evening of June 26, local time, Hancock announced his resignation. He said in the video, "The people who make the rules also have to follow the rules, which is why I have to quit my job." ”

Shortly after Hancock announced his resignation, British Prime Minister Johnson appointed Saeed Javid as health secretary. Although Javid is experienced in politics, his work rarely covers the health sector. In addition to leading the UK's response to covid-19, Javid is also expected to be in charge of social security reform.

Recently, the epidemic situation in the UK has a serious trend. In May, about 20 people per 100,000 people in the UK were infected with COVID-19, and by late June, that number had risen to around 120. In addition, delta variant virus has also become the most popular virus species in the UK. Read the full >>>
