Evolution of Principal Contradiction Facing Chinese Society and the CPC Leadership over Economic Work

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949,the Communist Party of China(CPC)has separated China’s evolving principal social contradictions into four different stages.Based on the assessment of principal social contradictions at different points in time,the CPC enacted different economic policies.During 1949-1956,based on the recognition of class struggle as China’s principal social contradiction,the Party focused its economic policies on socialist transformation and established the foundation for the public sector of the economy.During 1956-1978,amid flip-flops in the Party’s assessment of whether class struggle or backward productive forces were the principal contradiction,China’s economic development suffered some setbacks,but the vision for building an industrial country remained unchanged,and resources were focused on developing major national industrial projects.During 1978-2019,the Party focused on economic development and reform and opening up in pursuit of the realization of grand economic development goals based on the assessment that China’s principal social contradiction was between people’s ever-growing material and cultural needs and China’s relatively backward social productive forces.In 2017,the 19th CPC National Congress made the important political assessment that China’s principal social contradiction had transformed into the contradiction between people’s ever-growing need for a better life and China’s unbalanced and inadequate development,and proposed new development concepts to lead the Chinese people on a new journey towards the second centennial goal.The most important experience of the CPC’s economic work is analyzing and solving problems based on Marxist ideology and methodology.

The Centenary of the CPC:Socialist Industrial Development and Historical Experience

Socialist industrialization in a populous agrarian country like China is a complex,arduous,and long-term task.Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China(CPC),the Chinese people have initiated a new way of socialist industrialization suitable to China’s national conditions after assiduous efforts.Brilliant achievements of historic importance have been made in China’s industrial development.In just a few decades,China completed an industrialization process that took centuries in the developed world and established the world’s most complete modern industrial system,becoming the second-largest economy and the largest manufacturing nation in the world.This achievement is of great historic and worldwide significance.Over its centennial history,CPC has completed the historic task of opposing imperialism and feudalism during the New Democratic Revolution,which created political conditions essential for the nation’s socialist industrialization.During this socialist revolution and development,the CPC has led the nation to build complete industrial and economic systems.In the era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization,the CPC has led the nation to industrialize and become the equal of more advanced economies.In the new era of Chinese socialism,the CPC has led the nation to accomplish the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and pursuing high-quality industrial development.China’s industrial achievements can be attributed to the following factors:First,the CPC’s strong leadership,adherence to its founding aspiration and unwavering commitment to socialist industrialization;second,the application of the Marxist principles taking into account China’s actual conditions;third,proactively exploring and following the laws of industrialization for China as a large country and keeping industrial development in alignment with evolving conditions.

The CPC as the Core of Leadership Guiding the Development of China’s Human Rights Cause

Full enjoyment of human rights, a lofty ideal pursued by the human race for a long time, is what the people of contemporary China have spared no ef- forts to attain. The Chinese people were virtually denied human fights when the ＂three large mountains＂-- imperialism, feudalism and the bureaucratic bour- geoisie - oppressed them. To achieve national liberation, independence, de- mocracy, freedom and human fights, the unyielding Chinese people fought protracted struggles for which they made huge sacrifices.

银纳米线SERS快速高灵敏检测水中痕量Hg2+研究

水中痕量重金属汞离子(Hg^(2+))对人类健康会构成严重威胁,因此快速高灵敏检测水中痕量Hg^(2+)具有重要科学意义和实际应用价值。为实现这一目标,研究运用银纳米线(silver nanowires, AgNWs)作为表面增强拉曼散射(Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering, SERS)基底来快速高灵敏检测水中痕量Hg^(2+)。用旋涂法制备了均匀分布的AgNWs基SERS基底,并用罗丹明6G(Rhodamine 6G,R6G)作为拉曼信标分子,以间接检测水中痕量Hg^(2+)。通过研究SERS活性、稳定性、重现性、选择性、AgNWs直径及pH值对其SERS活性的影响,用时域有限差分法(Finite Difference Time Domain, FDTD)模拟了AgNWs表面电场分布情况。结果显示,AgNWs基SERS基底具有良好的活性、优异的信号再现性、稳定性和选择性,SERS活性随着直径的增大而增强,对Hg^(2+)的检测限(Detection Of Limit, LOD)达10-11mol/L,远低于美国环境保护署(The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA)的饮用水Hg^(2+)浓度标准(10-8mol/L)。在低浓度范围内,SERS特征峰强度(R^(2)=0.9919)有良好的线性关系。FDTD模拟结果为试验结果提供了有力的理论支撑,可为水中检测痕量Hg^(2+)提供新策略,在环境监测中具有广阔的应用前景。

An Interpretation of The Color Purple from the Perspective of Foucault’s Power Theory

Afro-American writer Alice Walker is one of most influential black women writers in the American literary world of the twentieth century.She has long time focused on the living conditions of the black,especially black females under the ethnic context.Through Foucault’s power theory,the operating mechanism of power the in The Color Purple can be clearly elaborated.On the one hand,patriarchal disciplinary power sets numerous restrictions on individuals for the purpose of producing docile bodies.On the oth⁃er hand,the disciplined individuals take the body as a site of protest against disciplinary power,so as to construct their own dis⁃course,free themselves from the marginalized living status and realize the promise of reconciliation between sexes and races.
