Either rich or expensive, Zhang Baotong 2016.8.12

Recently, I often hear the term "either rich or expensive" in the circle of friends, and some leaders at the district and bureau levels, and even cadres at the section level, often mention this term in casual conversations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Every time this word is mentioned, there is a look of fascination and pride. It makes people feel that they are either rich or expensive, even if they have not yet reached the level of either rich or expensive, they have already embarked on the road to either rich or expensive. I don't think that's a good sign. I don't know if they're inspiring others when they say it, or if they're showing off. If it is to motivate others, then I am afraid that it will lead others to the gutter. If they show off, then they will arouse people's suspicion. As a public official of the state, how can you be rich or noble? First of all, you have a problem with your own positioning. State officials are for the people, not for the common people. And then where do you get your money? If you are really a law-abiding public official, who is not corrupt or corrupt, do you have that much money?

I have seen the "mansion" in Zhidan County, the hometown of Li Jianmin, deputy mayor of Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, and I also know the situation of Jiao Yulu's family in ******** back then. Their family background is no different from that of ordinary people. Even if the salaries of civil servants are higher and their salaries have changed, they are not so high that they can be either rich or expensive. If you really have a lot of money that you can get rich or expensive, then people will definitely think that your money is getting it from illegal sources.

Our country has been poor for hundreds of years, and as soon as we have some money, and the lives of the common people are a little better, some people have begun to talk about "either rich or expensive". This cannot but attract our attention. Although our country is building high-speed railways and high-rise buildings everywhere, in fact, our country is still very poor, and the people are still very miserable. Our economy is struggling and lacks stamina. In this case, it is very harmful to say that "rich or expensive" is very harmful. Because "either rich or expensive" pursues luxury and vanity, and it is a lifestyle that burns money and loses money with arrogance and pomp. This runs counter to the fine tradition of the Chinese nation of being diligent and thrifty and working hard. And more importantly, what kind of characters will the "either rich or noble" trend create for our country? If we look at Chinese history, we will see how many people have sunk into degeneration, lost their integrity, and become pathetic, contemptible, pitiful, and hateful people in pursuit of "either rich or noble."

Wealth is about personal glory and wealth, not the integrity of the nation. The integrity of the nation is Fan Zhongyan's "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world"; it is Mencius's "living in the world, establishing the right position of the world, and walking the road of the world." Gain the will, and the people by it; Unwilling, go it alone. The rich and noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, this is called a big husband"; it is Yue Fei's "Wenchen does not love money, and Wuchen does not hesitate to die, and the world is peaceful"; it is also Qi Jiguang's "I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope that the sea will be peaceful." The Chinese virtue should be "unremitting self-improvement and virtue", rather than being rich or expensive, showing off the rich than rich.

If you want to say that you are more expensive than rich, who can compare to Jack Ma and who can compare to Bill Gates? But Jack Ma said that a person can sleep in how many beds and how many meals a day can he eat? However, on his 50th birthday, Bill Gates announced to the world that he would donate all his 100 billion dollar inheritance to the society and leave it to his children and grandchildren.

Since the reform and opening up, there have been many millionaires, multimillionaires and billionaires in China, but how many billionaires have donated their wealth? For many billionaires, they prefer to show off their wealth rather than donate. Let's take a look at Lei Feng and Guo Mingyi, although they are ordinary soldiers and ordinary citizens, how much dedication they have made to the country and the people. Which rich man and tycoon dare to compare this kind of "noble" spirit that the people admire? A country and a nation cannot stand on its own feet among the nations of the world without a noble character and a spirit of dedication. Because if the country is not strong, the people cannot be rich.

The pursuit of wealth and nobility must pursue spiritual wealth and career wealth; The pursuit of wealth is also the pursuit of dedication. This kind of pursuit is more noble and noble. So far, the largest donations to China have been made by Fok Ying Tung, who has donated about $15 billion to philanthropists in Hong Kong, and Run Run Shaw, who has donated more than HK$10 billion to social welfare and charitable affairs over the years. Huang Rulun, chairman of the board of directors of Century Golden Resources Group, has donated nearly 3 billion yuan, making him "the most generous philanthropist in China" in the past eight years. Even if he started out in poverty, Chen Guangbiao has donated a total of 810 million yuan to charity in the past 10 years, and more than 300,000 people have been funded.

I don't know if these patriotic and social figures also talk about "either rich or noble", I think they definitely won't, because their minds are spacious and magnificent, and they don't care if others see them as rich and noble. Only those little cocks with cocked tails would show off their pretentiousness to others. Therefore, even if they have a little money and a bit of power, they are at best just a small local tyrant, except for the rustic and shallow cheesiness, how can they have any rich bearing.

After a look at the former virtuous country and home, the success is due to diligence and thrift, and the defeat is due to luxury. Diligence and thrift, there is no unhappiness, arrogance and fatigue, not invincible. Throughout the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there are countless historical lessons that have been successful and failed due to frugality and luxury. Our life today is won by many revolutionary martyrs and people with lofty ideals, who threw away their heads, shed their blood, sacrificed their lives and forgot their deaths, and bravely fought for righteousness. They gave up their wealth and their lives to pursue the truth and belief that the country is strong and the people are well-being. If we pay attention to luxury and vanity and non-wealth and no-rich, it is a betrayal of them, a betrayal of the country and the people. Especially for those powerful people who are scheming and robbing, and are addicted to corruption, they should read this poem written by He Kun before his death: "Fifty years of dreams are true, and now I will give up on Hongchen." When he was full of water, he recognized the cigarette as the back. ”

Western countries have plundered and enslaved our country for nearly 100 years, and after hundreds of years of rapid development in Western countries, they are all tightening their belts to get by, but we have only just started to develop for more than 30 years, and we have begun to pursue wealth and nobility.

The President of the United States, ******, said, "If Chinese lived the life of an American, it would be a disaster for the world." "Yes, the standard of living in Americans is much higher than ours. However, the United States' economic income and per capita share of national resources are much higher than ours. Our blind optimism about economic development and the overexploitation of resources, especially the large-scale pollution of the environment, were very harmful and even shocking. This is very detrimental to the sustained development and growth of our economy and living standards. Although our living standards are much better than in the past, we must start by saving every drop of water and kilowatt-hour of electricity, so that our limited resources can be fully utilized. Instead of spending lavishly, talking about eating and drinking, vanity and luxury, and blind comparison. We must overcome the shallow consciousness of pursuing material desires and the satisfied mentality of being well-off and getting rich, and put more thought and energy into the pursuit of the common dream of the Chinese people. Work hard to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
