A better life is the aspiration of the people from generation to generation,and it is also the goal of our Party.Since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,Xi Jinping The phrase "good life" has been repeatedly mentioned on many important occasions,and the good life in the new era has soon become a heated,profound and hot topic,attracting the attention of many scholars.Compared with the past,people in the new era have a higher level of demand for a better life,including not only high-quality "hard demand",but also unprecedented "soft demand".In this sense,the realization of a better life in the new era is no longer a simple political discourse system and theoretical concept,but more a practical concept,which is the meaning of continuing to write a new chapter in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.The "good life in the new era" is a brand new life featuring the integrated development of five aspects: a better material life of higher quality,a better political life of democracy and the rule of law,a better social life of equality and harmony,a better cultural life of high quality and variety,and a better ecological life of beauty and livable.It is a high-quality life that can realize people’s self-value and highlight their individuality.It is the organic unity of national development and people’s life.A better life in the new era is a Chinese plan put forward by the Party and the state in consideration of the people’s real life.It is a summary and presentation of the experience of arduous exploration over the past century,and also a demonstration of the wisdom of the Party and the state in governing the country.Its proposal was not only related to the prevailing world conditions,national conditions,party conditions and public opinions,but also the inheritance and development of Marx and Engels’ vision of a better life,the relevant discourse of Chinese Communists on a better life,and the vision of a better life embodied in the fine traditional Chinese culture.The main content of a better life in the new era has an intrinsic unity with the overall layout of the "five-in-one" in terms of logical structure,and embodies basic characteristics such as universality,comprehensiveness,reality,dynamism and transcendence.The new era is an era in which we are closer and more confident and capable o f achieving a better life than ever before.But there are also many opportunities and c hallenges.On the one hand,there are good opportunities such as the brilliant achieve ments of Chinese modernization,the more mature and established system of socialism with Chinese characteristics,the growing capacity for scientific and technological innov ation,especially independent innovation,and the growing power of the people.These opportunities will strengthen our ability and confidence to realize a better life in the n ew era.On the other hand,the realization of a better life in the new era is also ham pered by the uncertainties of a complex international environment,the long-term imbal anced and inadequate development at home,and the challenges posed by the double-e dged sword of science and technology.Therefore,to achieve a better life in the new era,we must uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China,adhere to the p eople-centered approach,implement the new development philosophy,and continue to promote Chinese-style modernization. |
