On Building a Harmonious Society

On Building a Harmonious Society
Now, building a harmonious society has become a hot topic. Articles related to constructing a harmonious society have sprung up like mushrooms. We can easily read such articles in newspaper and magazines. Of course, there are various definitions of the term harmonious society. In my view, a harmonious society means individuals, families, ethnic groups get on well with each other and live harmoniously together. It also means that human beings live harmoniously with nature.

Building a harmonious society is of great significance. It is a project that relates to promoting coordinated economic and social development, and relates to enhancing the CPC's ruling capacity and cementing the CPC's ruling status.

The following are my suggestions on how to build a harmonious society. First, governments at all levels should try their best to deal with the issues concerning people's fundamental interests by perfecting the employment service system, social security and social aid system, by resolutely preventing the behaviors which do harm to people's interests, and by preventing and reducing the occurrence of social contradictions. Second, the evaluation and prediction on large-scale group accidents and unexpected incidents should be strengthened and the contingency plan for emergencies should be established and improved, so that social harmony and stability can be maintained. Lastly, rural and urban community construction and management should be pushed forward through scientific, democratic and legal means, so that grassroots rural and urban self-ruled organizations, associations and immediate organizations can play an import role in dealing with social contradictions.
