Chinese population quality enters into a new stage of comprehensive promotion.It is not only the practical demand of the strategic arrangement of “four comprehensiveness” and “five key ideas” and of transferring economic mode and adjusting economic structure,but also a natural acceptance of the shift of strategic focus of population development.Therefore,it has direct impact on building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and on completing the goals for two centenaries.Population quality includes physical fitness quality,scientific and educational quality and civilization quality.The key of comprehensive promotion is to deepen the reform with focus on deepening the scientific and educational reform.The educational system of “test” that determines one’s life and the scientific system that the research group determines everything should be cancelled.A diversified and innovation driven institutional mechanism that adapts to modern development should be established.

YuZuhuaGengMaohua76

There were three types of views on unitary Chinese nationality during the period of Republic China.First,the view of single nationality,represented by Sun Yat-sen and Li Dazhao,recognized the status quo of the coexistent ethnic groups in China,promoting all groups into one unity and assimilating them into the Chinese nationality; secondly,the view of pluralism in one unity,represented by Fei Xiaotong in the academic circles and gradually finalized by Chinese communists with their view of Chinese nationality on unified multi-ethnic country,recognized status quo of the coexistent ethnic groups in China,advocated keeping the existing multi-ethnic situation and building a unified multi-ethnic country;the third,the view of one integrative unity,represented Fu Sinian and Gu Jiegang in the academic circles and later adopted by Chiang Kai-shek’sTheDestinyofChinaand other documents,emphasized that there is only one nationality within China’s boundary and that the Chinese nation is originally an integrated one.The three different types of views on unitary Chinese nationality debated and criticized with each other,but they were all tied up and harmonious with each other about the unity and integrality of Chinese nationality.As for how to maintain the integrality of Chinese nationality,all the three chose their inconsistent route:the view of one integrative unity emphasized the same kindred origin and mixture of the Chinese nationality; with an eye on cultural and spiritual adjustment,the view of single nationality,which asserted the ethnic groups within the country should be integrated into the Chinese nationality,aimed at absorbing the minority groups into the Chinese culture and transforming them into the Chinese nation; and the view of pluralism in one unity of Chinese communists emphasized the wholeness of the Chinese nation by means of political unification, that is to say, by building a multi-ethnic country to realize solidification and unity.

ThreeQuestionsonMorality

LuPeng111

The paper puts forward three questions:Whether or not there is an independent moral activity,whether or not there is an applicable scope for the morality and whether or not there are some limitations for the moral measure.Based on the practical theory,the paper argues that the morality is dependent on the activities which people are engaged in and it is not an independent activity but an ethical review to the production,social intercourse and other activities.The space,timeliness and richness of human activities determine the relativity of morality,the possibility of general morality,the scope of the morality and the limitation of moral measure.Therefore,moral construction should be improved in “changing the world”and moral practice should keep from “crossover”.The usage of moral measure should go beyond the limits of early stage of ethics history and finds a proper orientation.

After the Speech on at the Forum on Art and Literature in Yan’an being published,Yan’an collected advices from writers in Kuomingtang controlled areas,including Guo Moruo who responded with “classic and adaption”.According to Hu Qiaomu’s memory,Guo’s answer was praised by Mao.Guo’s opinion was produced originally in 1940 in his comments on Mao’s arguments about China Style in his On the New Stage.This opinion was involved in the debate on the form of nation and aroused controversy from Hu Feng,Xiang Linbing,Wang Shiwei and others.The difference was that Hu Feng and others insisted that the adaption could not be independent of classics and Guo,viewed from the relationship between literature and the times,asserted that there was internal relation between literature and the times,so literature classics should be translated into adaption according to changing times.Guo’s opinion cohered with Mao’s theory about the localization of Marxism and this was the original reason why Mao took Guo as a bosom friend.In 1940s’,there was a productive interaction between Guo and other left-wing writers’ view in Kuomingtang controlled areas and the production & communication of Mao’s view on literature.The production of Mao’s view on literature was based on the left wing writers’ practical experience and its communication in Kuomingtang controlled areas took the use of the symbolic resources of Guo Moruo,Mao Dun and other new writers.Guo and other writers’ comments on the Speech and products such as The White Haired Girl experienced a process from onlookers’ comments to self remolding and identification.Guos’ comments played a key role in the establishment of Mao Zedong’s literature system and,at the same time,Guo achieved his change of aesthetic standard,namely,from the aesthetic system of new literature to the literature standard of workers-peasants-soldiers.The status of the Speech raised from the adaption of new literature to the classic of revolutionary literature.
