Mao Zedong's Thoughts Of People's Livelihood And Its Enlighting In Reality During The Social Transitional Period

The transitional period of socialism,a particular time between the founding of Republic of China and the basic completion of socialist transformation,was a significant transformational period of Chinese society.During this period,this impoverished and weak country which had experienced a rough time turned over a new leaf and also faced a grim situation where a variety of businesses remained to thrive and people lived in destitution.At the same time,Mao Zedong Thought gradually matured,effectively promoting people's livelihood and improving people's living standard.In this transitional period,based on Marxism about people' livelihood and Chinese traditional people-oriented thought,Mao Zedong Thought on people's livelihood developed into maturity step by step in a particular historical background in which China gained independence,people were liberated,socialist system and the ruling status of Chinese Communist Party were established,all kinds of businesses remained to thrive and people lived in destitution.Ma Zedong Thought on people's livelihood in transitional period contained many aspects such as the restoration and development of national economy,the development of socialist democratic politics and socialist education,carrying out medical work,creating a secure and stable social environment and so on.Besides,it also presented the characteristics of ensuring people's livelihood and consolidating the regime at the same time,improving people's livelihood and developing the productive forces at the same time,and coordinating the development of people's livelihood socialist transformation.In the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China,under the guidance of Mao Zedong's Thought on people's livelihood,China made great progress in all aspects of the people's livelihood.The sequential improvement of well-being further enhanced China's comprehensive national strength,consolidated the party's ruling foundation and accumulated abundant experience for the livelihood of the people in the new period.Limited by some subjective factors,social and historical conditions,Mao Zedong's thought has its limitations.For example,the fruits of economic development can not effectively nurture people's livelihood;it does not get out of the development pattern and the thinking mode of the Soviet Union;it makes urban and rural residents enjoy different treatments in specific livelihood policy.In the transitional period,Mao Zedong's Thought on people's livelihood and its practice have given us some enlightenment.We should not only fully understand that the development of the people's livelihood is a long-term and arduous cause but also consistently adhere to the people-oriented value orientation,and be adept in applying contradiction analysis to solve the realistic livelihood problems,which are intended to constantly promote the development of the cause of the people's livelihood.
