At nine o'clock in the morning, the high-level forum of "emancipating the mind and social progress" was held on time in the multi-functional hall of the Moon Bay Hotel.

More than 100 people attended the opening ceremony and theme day activities of the forum, including experts and scholars from the press and theoretical circles of the capital, senior personnel from the Hezhou Municipal Party Committee, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the news, propaganda, theory, and literary circles of Hehai Province and Hezhou City, and representatives of veteran cadres and advanced model workers who were invited to attend the forum. [Ran^Text^Library] []

The forum was co-chaired by the monkeys from the capital and Liang Bingyu from Hezhou City as guests, and with the assistance of the professional host of the city TV station, the speech part of the first theme forum began.

Liang Bingyu first delivered a speech, opening the meaning of the forum, as well as the purpose to be achieved, and at the same time very grateful to the experts and scholars who came from afar, thank them for their attention to the economic and social development of Hezhou City, and thank them for their attention to the ongoing social changes in Hezhou City. Scholars' research and in-depth research to provide the best support and assistance.

Liang Bingyu's speech was sincere and sincere, and won warm applause from the audience, as well as praise and welcome from the guests in the capital.

The monkey then delivered a speech, introducing the participating experts, scholars, as well as the city leaders and veteran leaders who attended the meeting. On behalf of the capital, the experts and scholars who came from the capital said that they must pay close attention to the changes in Hezhou City's economy and society, especially the social atmosphere and the improvement of people's livelihood, keep track of the changes brought about by the changes, as well as the new problems and new phenomena that arise therefrom, and actively participate in the upsurge of change in Hezhou City with a rigorous and responsible attitude, seriously investigate and study, and improve together with Hezhou City.

Monkey's speech also received warm applause, and when he introduced the leaders attending the meeting, in addition to introducing the identity of Qi Tianxiang Municipal Party Secretary, he also specifically mentioned Qi Tianxiang's identity as an expert in administrative law, professor and doctoral supervisor, as well as his achievements and writings in the professional field, and especially emphasized that Qi Tianxiang participated in the forum as an expert this time. The monkey's words sparked a good-natured laugh in the room, which can be regarded as injecting some lively elements into the slightly serious meeting.

The speeches of the forum were made in a random way, basically interspersed with speeches by scholars from the capital and Hezhou, and the speeches were not fixed and unchanging, which could be interrupted in the middle of the process, and questions and supplements could also be asked. This method is very novel and novel, and has been greatly recognized by the participants, and the atmosphere of the venue is cheerful and lively, with warm applause and laughter from time to time.

Qi Tianxiang's speech was immediately drawn to a later position, basically after most of the experts and scholars had finished the first round of speeches, it was his turn, and when he walked to the guest speaker position, the venue resounded with warm applause.

"It's really a little unaccustomed to being placed in such a back position to speak." Before starting to speak, Qi Tianxiang said with a slight smile and self-deprecation, and his voice was immediately drowned out by a burst of good-natured laughter, Qi Tianxiang continued in laughter: "But it's right to think about it, when the host introduced just now, he specially emphasized that I came to this forum as an expert in administrative law, a professor and a doctoral supervisor, so I should clarify my identity and put myself in the right position." ”

Qi Tianxiang's modest speech and elegant bearing caused a round of applause in the venue, but soon quieted down and waited quietly for his speech.

"I agree with the host's introduction and am willing to assume such an identity, but in today's forum, I prefer to maintain my identity as a government official, and I also want to restore my identity as a father. At the same time, from the perspective of these three different identities, I will discuss my three questions. ”

Qi Tianxiang's opening remarks were extraordinary, attracting the attention of the audience, "The first question is a matter of personal admiration, which is said from the perspective of a father. I have a son who is about to graduate from college, and I have always been troubled as a father about the education and guidance of my children, not only in communication, but also in terms of values and understanding. I remember when I was a child, on the first day of school, the first lesson was to strengthen the education of loving the party, the country, and the people. These educations, with clear themes and strong political atmosphere, accompany the whole process of our primary schools, and what we are exposed to is the deeds of heroes and models, as well as the vivid images of workers and peasants. At that time, if you ask a boy what he will do when he grows up, he will almost without exception tell you that he wants to become a PLA soldier, in addition to the tall and upright image of the mighty and majestic PLA soldier, it is more in the textbooks, as well as the glorious deeds of Qiu Shaoyun, Huang Jiguang, Dong Cunrui, and Wang Jie, Lei Feng, and Ouyang Hai read in the villain book, which is desirable. Then there are the workers and peasants, because among the workers are Wang Jinxi, who 'would rather live 30 years less and desperately want to win the big oil field', Shi Chuanxiang, who is willing to stink alone, in exchange for the fragrance of ten thousand homes, and the spirit of the Red Flag Canal of 'hard work and skillful work, dare to make the sun and the moon change into a new sky', and the Dazhai and Chen Yonggui who 'insist on the green mountains and do not relax, and fight the heavens and the earth to change their faces'. It is these exemplary figures who inspire countless children, it is labor that creates wealth, and the most glorious ideas of workers inspire generation after generation of builders, and it seems that there is no need for parents to deliberately guide and educate, and the whole society has created a strong atmosphere for the growth of children and provided a blueprint for learning. ”

Qi Tianxiang's speech aroused the resonance of the audience, applause was more enthusiastic, Qi Tianxiang continued: "Now these are gone, children have been influenced by competition and transcendence since they went to kindergarten, and if they don't study well, they can only sweep the street in the future, and it seems that sweeping the street is a punishment for poor learning." In addition to competition and transcendence, what children are instilled in their minds is the abundance of material life, the scenery of successful people, or the dazzle of celebrities walking the red carpet and showing scandals, that is, no one thinks about what they really need. Are these children, who have grown up under our pampering and arrogance, the successors we need? Is it the person in charge and builder of the future of this society? This is the first question I ask as a father, and I hope that the fathers here will think about it with me. ”

"The second is that the problem is a matter of social advocacy, from the perspective of a government official and a city manager. In fact, this issue is essentially the same issue as the one just discussed, but from different angles, one is from the perspective of the individual and the other is from the perspective of society. The beginning of this problem came from a dispute between me and my son, the topic of the discussion was the American culture and lifestyle, and in his speech, he showed envy for the rich lifestyle of the United States, as well as the motivation and passion generated by innovation and development, and I seriously told him that the United States is not what he saw, not to mention racial discrimination and the gap between the rich and the poor, the United States also has a serious problem of industrial imbalance, but the United States has done a better job of social security than us, and the mainstream culture and spirit of the United States have been promoted very well. The power metapolitics of the United States also hides a lot of practical problems, and I also found an information piece that reflects the life of American farmers, telling him with facts that the United States is not only Buffett and Bill Gates, not just Cage and Kobe, but many Americans created the United States. ”

Qi Tianxiang's speech was deep and melancholy, and the venue was even quieter, only his deep voice echoed, "What touches me strangely and bewildered is that our media and the public are keen to tell the public about a false America, are keen to spread American culture and spirit, and have forgotten what kind of spirit our society needs and what kind of spiritual guidance it needs." From ancient times to the present, there is no social form like today, indulged and the pursuit of wealth and fame and fortune is difficult to extricate itself, and the social form is boosting this deformed culture, filling our field of vision is the wealth creation movement, is the rich second generation, the second generation of officials, is the violent social atmosphere and selfish and indifferent interpersonal relationships, dumping, deception, and ruthlessness can be seen and heard almost every day, the old man falls and dare not help, the child is sold by his biological mother, or starved to death. This is a social phenomenon that can be seen every day, and the corresponding is the lack of social security, the rising housing prices, the high investment in medical insurance and education, and the embarrassment of not being able to afford to buy a house, getting married, raising a baby, or even being unable to give birth, raise or die. ”

"Is this our social reality? Is this the life we want? Qi Tianxiang seemed to be excited, and his words became angry, even a little aggressive, "It should be said that this is reality, and it is real real life, but it is not what we want." Communicators and audiences alike understand how much of the harm and impact of such extreme cases can be in a country as vast as ours, with a population of 1.3 billion. However, if a few or several days occur in different cities and different regions, it is an event, and if it is spread in a concentrated manner in a period of time, the impact and effect cannot be ignored, and the destructiveness produced cannot be taken lightly. The harm of a black sheep requires countless people, or even a group of people, to destroy the image that has been established for many years. It should be said that our current life, especially urban life, has been greatly improved from a few decades ago, and the increase is even more difficult to calculate, but why everyone has no sense of happiness and security, the reason is that social security is true, but also from the deviation of guidance. What Americans talk about is their responsibility, their efforts to save the world, and these rescues are often ordinary people in the United States, firefighters, ordinary science and technology workers, police officers and farmers. In contrast, what is our mainstream culture doing, and what are our propaganda, ideological and theoretical workers doing? Isn't that worth pondering? A country without centripetal force, without social orientation, without mainstream values and spirit, and a nation without inheritance, is like a giant ship without a course, where will it go, and will there be a future? ”

Qi Tianxiang's speech sparked a round of warm applause, and it was sincere and heartfelt, Qi Tianxiang eased his expression for a moment, and then said after the applause gradually subsided: "The third question is the problem of group law, which is said from the perspective of administrative law majors. We all know that ancient China is very particular about personal cultivation and character cultivation, the so-called 'self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, leveling the world', the first prerequisite is self-cultivation, is personal cultivation, whether it is Confucianism, or Taoism Wuwei, the pursuit of profound knowledge and noble personality charm, is to lead by example. Such a glorious period appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was also the most prosperous period of the contention of a hundred schools of thought and the cultural development of the Chinese nation, and this period was also the golden period for self-discipline to surpass other laws. In the following years, China entered the period of other laws of feudal society, in the evolution of thousands of years and the replacement of countless dynasties, agricultural civilization and feudal centralized law developed in line with each other, but there has never been a dynasty like now, with such a complete legal system and classification, civil law, criminal law, economic law, etc., as well as administrative regulations that are difficult to calculate, it can be said that no matter economic activities, or daily life, and even the maintenance of social order, there is a tendency to rely more and more on the law. However, in actual operation, it is always difficult to achieve the desired goal of governing the country according to law, and contradictions such as fighting according to law, conflicting provisions, and lack of rigidity and lack of clear operability exist from time to time, and there are also repeated prohibitions on non-compliance with laws and selective law enforcement, and there are even behaviors that specifically walk on the edge of the law and take advantage of loopholes in the law. When self-discipline is insufficient to restrain individual behavior, morality is insufficient to regulate social customs, and integrity needs to be regulated by legal means, the role and effect of other laws are increasingly questioned. A huge social system, forcibly maintained only by the law, will inevitably bring about a huge test of the rigidity of the law and the quality of law enforcers, in the current situation that our legal system is not very perfect, relying too much on the authority of the law, the negative effect cannot be ignored. In fact, the so-called group law is not so profound, the family patriarchy in the countryside in the past, the residents' conventions in the current community, and the treaties of all walks of life are all important contents of the group law. It has a role that cannot be underestimated in regulating social behavior and leading social fashion, because it is grounded and related to the daily life of the people, and it is easier to have corresponding effects. When self-discipline is gradually drifting away and other laws are unsustainable, group discipline can play a great role in purifying the social environment. ”

Qi Tianxiang looked at the people in the venue and slowly continued: "Self-discipline is the embodiment of morality, the sublimation of character and quality, and the manifestation of the civilization of a society and a nation. Other laws are punishments and norms, and a complete display of a country's image. The group law is restraint and order, which is an indispensable spiritual trend in a society. It's like a football field, winning is the goal, winning is the belief, good physical fitness is the guarantee, teamwork is a must, this is the manifestation of self-discipline. But no matter how good the team is, no matter how good the technology is, there is no strict and fair law enforcement by the referee, and there is no rigid time and rule restrictions, it is impossible to talk about it together, which is the necessity of other laws. If all this is working properly and fully reflected, a wonderful football game can be perfectly presented, and there will be a good competition order. If these are difficult to achieve, the players play match-fixing, the referee blows the black whistle, and the behind-the-scenes operation is carried out, can this game still be watched? Can such a rule be endured? At this time, the power of group law is needed, the audience can protest, can boycott, and even vote with their feet, without the audience of the competition, is there still the meaning of existence? ”

"We often hear people say with emotion or helplessness: 'There are still many good people in this society', which seems to be just a statement, but in fact, the deep-seated reason is that there are many bad people. Of course, such bad people have not risen to the contradiction between the enemy and ourselves, and have not risen to the level of legal punishment, uncivilized behavior, uncivilized phenomena, harming others and benefiting themselves, all of which have seriously affected the social atmosphere and order, and for these people and things without any sense of self-discipline, the law is very helpless and does nothing. At this time, it is necessary for the group law to play a role, and for the uncivilized phenomena of occupying roads, setting up stalls indiscriminately, and parking vehicles indiscriminately, these uncivilized phenomena need to be spontaneously resisted and protested by the masses. Don't buy things at stalls that occupy the road, stay away from uncivilized people, alienate vehicles parked indiscriminately, and make these uncivilized and immoral people pay the price, and over time the social order will be improved and the social atmosphere will be improved. In this society, there will be more warmth, more righteousness, and less indifference and onlookers, so that the elderly who fall down will not be unsupported, the lost children will not be left on the streets, and the society will be beautiful and warm. ”

"These are my three thoughts as three identities, I hope to arouse the common thinking of experts and scholars here, the topic is too big, because the time relationship cannot be expanded, and it is a bit verbose, I'm really sorry!" Qi Tianxiang said modestly, walked out of the podium, and bowed deeply to the audience.

"Secretary Qi was afraid that the forum organizers would not give him time to speak, so he put the three special speeches together, which is a very shrewd calculation." As a guest host, the monkey appropriately mediated the atmosphere and attracted a round of goodwill applause from the venue.

The ridicule of the monkey and Qi Tianxiang's speech triggered a long and warm applause from the audience, which pushed the atmosphere of the forum to the first place, and then in the question and debate session, many questions were aimed at Qi Tianxiang's speech, and some of the details of the three questions were debated fiercely and constructively.

The forum lasted until lunchtime, and then it was barely stopped, but it was clear that many people were still unsatisfied, and they could only wait until the afternoon to start in detail.

The effect of the forum was beyond the expectations of Qi Tianxiang and others, and even more unexpected by the participants, the originally bland forum theme did not expect to trigger such a strong resonance and bring such a wide range of debates. At the same time, it also made Qi Tianxiang, who was originally a little worried, have more solid confidence, and from the debates of experts and scholars from all sides, especially enthusiasm, it can be clearly felt that the change in social customs is not only the expectation of the people, but also has attracted the attention of all levels.

All kinds of information gathered in Qi Tianxiang's mind, which made him a little inexplicably excited, had a clearer idea, and seemed to have a clearer idea of the next operation
