“Cat Theory”: a Vivid Representative of Deng Xiaoping’s Practical and Realistic Thought

邓小平同志著名的“不管黄猫黑猫，抓住老鼠就是好猫”的论断，坚持了真理的客观性，坚持了实践标准。与只求实现目的，可以不择手段的实用主义有着本质的区别。“猫论”寓意深刻，倡导解放思想、实事求是、大胆开拓，忠于职守。

Deng Xiaoping is well known for his theory that no matter a cat is yellow or black, it is a good cat if it is able to catch rats. This theory sticks to the objective of the truth and the practical standard, which is essentially distinctive from pragmatism that the fair means or foul is resorted to for the realization of purpose.“Cat Theory” is of profound meaning, advocating mind emacipation, practical and realistic thought, bold pioneering spirit and devotion to duty.
