On April 28,1956, Mao Zedong explicitly put forward the "double hundred" policy in the concluding speech of the enlarged meeting of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau:"The flourishing of the arts, academic issues contending, I think should be our approach." Since then, "let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools contend" has been an important scientific and cultural policy of the cause of our prosperity. "Double hundred" policy has been gradually improved by Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin, the three representative generations of central collective leadership of the CPC. "Double hundred" policy has correctly handled the relationship between party's leadership and adherence to the "double hundred" policy, Marxism and the contention, and relationship between politics and academics, which had great significance in mobilizing the enthusiasm and creativity of the intellectuals and the promotion great development and prosperity of social culture. "Double hundred" policy is the guideline that we must adhere to a long-term. |
