On Taxation and Civilization Creation
Civilization walks with me. If you lose today, you are not a loser, because you will come again tomorrow. If you lose money, you are not a loser, because the value of life is not in the purse. If you lose civilization, you are a complete failure, because you have lost the true meaning of being a man. Under the clarion call of reform and opening up, China is undergoing earth-shaking changes for more than 20 years. Garden-style standard residential quarters have mushroomed; The asphalt road is wide, flat and full of vitality; Not long ago, this land was a barren land, but now, parks with beautiful scenery have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. In the morning, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and people are doing morning exercises everywhere; In the evening, thousands of lights, beautiful, peaceful and quiet! However, my friends here, when we enjoy the convenience and prosperity brought by the city, have you ever thought that we are also suffering from the pollution and noise of the city? Have you ever seen discordant notes floating over the city? Under the fashionable neon lights, there are also bad habits everywhere. One day, when you wear shiny black leather shoes and walk on the street full of scraps of paper, you will no longer be handsome? When you wear beautiful and decent fashion and walk through plastic bags and graffiti squares and parks, are you still in the mood to enjoy the romance and comfort brought by city life? Civilization covers the relationship between people, people and society, and people and nature. Its main function is to pursue personal moral perfection and safeguard public interests and public order. On one occasion, Comrade Lenin went downstairs, and in the narrow corridor of the stairs, he met a female worker carrying a basin of water upstairs. As soon as the women workers see Lenin, they will step back and make way. Lenin stopped her and said, "Don't do this. You're halfway done, and I'm empty-handed. Please go first! " He said the word "please" loudly and kindly. Then he leaned against the wall and let the woman go upstairs, and then he went downstairs. Isn't this also a sign of politeness? The civilization degree of a society can reflect the civilization degree of a society and a country. A person's failure to observe social civilization will have a small impact on his own image and a big impact on the national reputation. During the Qing Dynasty, Minister Li Hongzhang went to Russia. In public, he had a bad habit of spitting everywhere, which was greatly exaggerated by foreign journalists and humiliated China people. This is a historical lesson of not obeying social civilization. We don't have to complain that the civilization of this society is not high; Don't complain that your strength is too thin and has little impact on society. Imagine, isn't there very little yeast in bread? However, isn't this yeast alone the initiator of bread? Each of our classmates should be the yeast of this era, and let their own enzymes play their due role in this society. Students, let's act, "new century, new era, new country and new civilization", don't let civilization just appear on paper, let it be active among us, let us be the masters of civilization, and let "civilization walk with me"!
