中国精神——首创精神

2019年7月5日，习近平总书记在北京出席深化党和国家机构改革总结会议并发表重要讲话，强调要坚持党的领导和尊重人民首创精神相结合。

On July 5,2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech while attending a meeting reviewing the reform of Party and State institutions,stressing that we should combine upholding Party leadership with respecting people's pioneering spirit.

首创精神不仅仅是指改革开放以来，我国在经济、科技、文化、社会生活等领域许多形态从无到有，人民群众在发展过程中展现的创造智慧，更是指我们党和人民面对日趋复杂的环境时，所表现出的探索精神和敢于发现问题、直面问题、解决问题的勇气。

Since reform and opening up,China's economic, scientific and technological, cultural, social-life work has grown from scratch.The pioneering spirit refers to people’s creative intelligence in this course of development.More over, it means the Party and the people's exploring spirit and courage to find,face and solve problems in an increasingly complex environment.

回望历史，我们不难发现为中国的复兴之路提供源源不竭动力的，正是党和人民不畏艰难的首创精神。杂交水稻研究的开创者袁隆平，中医药科技创新的优秀代表屠呦呦，“复兴号”高速列车研制的主持者孙永才，数字经济的创新者马云，他们是各个领域中敢于突破常规、面对挑战的代表。他们身上不仅有勇于求变的首创精神，更有不畏艰难、顺应时代、把握规律的科学勇气。首创精神不仅是中国人民在多年稳扎稳打的基础上面对未来的底气，也是今后探索更尖端领域、寻求更深入变革、解决更重大问题的态度和支撑。

Looking back at the history, it's natural to find that it is the pioneering spirit of the Party and the people that has created an inexhaustible force for advancing the cause of China's rejuvenation.Yuan Longping,the pioneer of hybrid rice research,Tu Youyou, an outstanding representative of TCM scientific and technological innovation,Sun Yongcai who presides over the research and development of Fuxing high-speed trains,and Ma Yun, an innovator of digital economy are all the representatives from various fields who have the courage to break the routine and confront challenges.They have both the pioneering spirit of moving proactively and the scientific courage to keeping abreast of the times and follow the time trend without fear of hardship.The pioneering spirit is not only the confidence of Chinese people to face the future with solid efforts for years,but also the attitude and support to explore more cutting-edge fields, seek more in-depth reform and solve more important problems in the future.

尊重人民群众的首创精神，是我国改革开放取得巨大成就的重要经验，也是推进改革的重要方法。进入新时代，我们更应该充分发挥首创精神，勇于实践、大胆创新，帮助协调解决工作中遇到的具体问题，努力形成可推广的经验。初心不忘、使命如磐。投身奔涌向前的时代长河，只有将首创精神牢记心间，换化成实实在在的行动，才能跨越激流险滩，实现伟大梦想。

Experience shows that respecting people's pioneering spirit has helped with China's great achievements in reform and opening up,and it is an important way to promote reform.Entering a new era, we should give full play to the pioneering spirit,act with the courage to practice and innovate,help coordinate and solve specific problems encountered in work,and strive to form the experience that can be popularized.We should remain true to our original aspiration and mission.In the long river of times surging ahead,only by keeping the pioneering spirit in mind and acted in accordance with it,can we cross the dangerous rapids and shoals to realize our great dream.
