Synopsis

"Strategy for the Founding of the People's Republic of China" is the collective name of the three "Strategies for the Founding of the People's Republic of China" written by the revolutionary pioneer Sun Wen between 1917 and 1920 - "Sun Wen's Theory", "Industrial Plan", and "The Beginnings of Civil Rights". "Sun Wen Shuo", also known as "The Theory of Knowing Difficulties and Easier Doing", is the "psychological construction" of the founding strategy of the People's Republic of China, and is also a representative work of Sun Wen's philosophical thoughts: he used a large number of facts to elaborate on the epistemological point of view of knowing after doing and knowing what is difficult after doing; The "Industrial Plan" is the "material construction" of the founding strategy, which includes detailed plans for the modernization of industry, agriculture, and transportation. It is the beautiful blueprint drawn by Sun Wen for China's economic development; "Preliminary Civil Rights", also known as "General Principles of the Conference", expounds the democratic principles, procedures and methods that government management and the masses should master in social life. It is the "social construction" of the founding strategy. This work, which contains more than 100,000 words, embodies Sun Wen's grand vision for the modernization of China's industry, agriculture, transportation, etc. It is the first time that economic construction has been put in the first place and the economic strategic thinking of opening up to the outside world has been proposed for the first time. It is undoubtedly a grand program for the comprehensive development of the Chinese economy. Now more than 100 years have passed. Under the leadership of the party, the motherland has risen and embarked on the road to national rejuvenation. As for the four major predictions made by Sun Yat-sen in the book (to build 160,000 kilometers of railways in China; to build a world-class port in northern, central and southern China that is comparable to New York Port, and to build and develop three economically developed coastal areas with the port as the center; after China stabilizes, it will be eclectic and attract foreign investment to develop its industries; all citizens will have the idea of "serving everyone" and be responsible, selfless and fearless.), The first three have already been realized, and the last one is just around the corner. Looking back at this book, it is even more profound.

Reader comments

In fact, in the last part of "The Strategy for the Founding of the People's Republic of China", it was the least valued part at that time, and was even ridiculed as a "ridiculous procedure" and "complicated philosophy". Even in the end it was regarded as a byway and thus forgotten. The original reason for its writing was the reflection on Yuan Shikai's restoration, and it was completed on the eve of the beginning of the War to Protect the Law. It has the significance of connecting the past and the future. Its purpose is to improve the quality of people's civil rights and resist the restoration of autocracy. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's lofty ideals for China's development are vividly displayed in it, and you can feel it between the lines. This is a summary of his efforts to fight for national independence, civil rights, freedom and the ideal of people's livelihood and happiness. I am proud that China has Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

Although it is not a completely vernacular style, it is not difficult to read. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's great talent and wisdom in governing the country can be fully demonstrated in this book. The content and principles mentioned in it are presented in a eloquent way, and you can see the patriotism permeating between the lines. In a dark age with no precedents to draw from, Mr. Sun Yat-sen was still groping for ways to build a nation. This book can be seen as his vision of his ideal country. From psychological construction to material construction to social construction, the entire system is complete and meticulous. Starting from the people's livelihood and the actual national conditions, Mr. Sun Yat-sen served the country and the people with far-reaching thoughts.

This book is composed of three works, among which "The Theory of Sun Literature" is the main philosophical work of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. He proposed the theory of "knowing is easy, but doing it is difficult" which was widely popular at that time. He believes that the so-called Chinese saying "knowing is not difficult, doing is only difficult" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people from ancient times to the present, thus causing a great negative impact. After the Revolution of 1911, many revolutionaries lost confidence in the revolutionary cause because they had long been constrained by the idea of "it is easier to tell than to do". For this reason, Mr. Sun Yat-sen proposed this theory to encourage people to have the courage to explore the truth and to devote themselves to the truth. I fully agree with this. Although ideological change is difficult, it is also necessary. This theory played a role at that time.

In a systematic and comprehensive way, this book introduces the challenges and difficulties faced by the Chinese Communist Party in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and how to solve these problems and promote national construction. It involves politics, economy, military, culture and other fields, and has important implications for understanding the historical background and policy decisions at that time. The author's analysis is in-depth and thorough, and each issue is discussed and interpreted in detail. By reviewing historical events and policies, readers can better understand the complex situation in the early days of China's founding and the CCP's governance philosophy.

Swallowing jujube without holding on to the essentials, I dare not make unreasonable comments.
