Plato said in "The Republic" that "all aspects of a country's style are implicit in its people." In other words, what kind of people there are, there will be what kind of government.

Everyone believes in "learning and excellence will lead to officialdom", then officials and the government will naturally inflate their status, make it difficult to get in, look ugly, and get things done, instead of serving as a service-oriented government. The public has its own responsibility, serves the people, and is a public servant of the people.

What is government? Is government a void? Or is it an empty bottle, and you can put whatever you want into it? A friend works as the director of the Provincial Department of Commerce. When we chatted, we talked about environmental pollution - rivers and lakes turning black and smelly, smog shrouding the sky, no blue sky and white clouds, deforestation, exposed land, frequent geological disasters - I was heartbroken and cursed: "It's all caused by the fucking government! It does nothing and acts recklessly. It pursues chicken's farts one-sidedly and only fishes for the present without caring about the future..."

I was stunned by his scolding. Lived. After being stunned, I interrupted him: "In your mind, what does the government mean? Isn't the Provincial Department of Commerce an integral part of the government?"

Every Chinese is criticizing the government. Criticize the government because of corruption, scold the government because of high housing prices, scold the government because of fierce competition, hard work for children to study and pressure to enter higher education, scold the government because of high medical expenses and despotic medical care, scold the government because of the damage to the ecological environment, water pollution, and air pollution. Criticizing the government because of heavy traffic and traffic congestion...

A friend was born in the 1960s, an authentic rural child. He went to university in the 1980s, a famous university, and was assigned to work in a large state-owned enterprise after graduation. Now he is He is a middle-level cadre, at the senior level, with an annual income of several hundred thousand yuan. My wife works in the same company and has an annual income of several hundred thousand yuan. A child is studying for an undergraduate degree at a prestigious domestic school, a master's degree at a prestigious American school, and working in a famous American company with an annual income of more than 100,000 US dollars. As soon as we met, he scolded the government and was extremely disappointed in the country. I was encouraged to send my children to the United States to study and stay in the United States to work. I couldn’t help but ask: "Why has the government treated you so badly? You are a rural boy. How can the government treat you so badly that you are here today? If you still want to criticize the government and are not satisfied, then let those who live at the bottom of society Why is it so embarrassing? "Migrant workers can criticize the government, laid-off workers can criticize the government, and lonely elderly people can criticize the government, but my friend, you should not criticize the government! If you become a department-level or ministerial-level cadre, will you stop criticizing the government? As social elites, in the process of personal growth and success, they occupy and consume more social resources than the social average. They should think more and contribute more in the design and improvement of social systems, instead of just criticizing the government. , abandon and flee the country after cursing. Children stay in China to complete their arduous growth stage, consuming domestic social resources, and then go to work abroad to contribute to the United States after they grow up. If every family does this, how can China not be poor or backward? !

The thoughts and behaviors of each of us are blood vessel cells that constitute the body of the government. Our parents and children are in the government, and our brothers and sisters are in the government. All kinds of government actions that we hate today will be followed without any exception once we enter the government tomorrow, and even worse. Companies accuse the government of charging arbitrary fees and fines, and use these incomes to issue bonuses and subsidies. The companies themselves do everything possible to transfer the food from the big pot to the small pot through related-party transactions, issue more shopping coupons and cards during holidays, and increase housing provident funds, The corporate deposit ratio of pension funds can increase income in disguise. We accuse government officials of being corrupt, not because we would be honest and honest if we were in their position, but because we have no way of reaching that position and eating, drinking and making money as easily as they do.

We are dissatisfied with hospitals and medical staff, and the contradiction between doctors and patients is prominent. If we are doctors and nurses, are we doing better than them? We ask ourselves, how do we treat our work in our current positions? ! Are we conscientious and meticulous? Do we provide attentive service and never tire of asking questions? Do we care little about remuneration and fame? We work overtime, would we rather be inconvenienced for the convenience of others? If we can't do this, then don't blame the medical staff. The hospital is a part of our society as a whole. When the whole society is still at a low level, we cannot expect it to stand out and be far ahead of the society as a whole, as good as we hope.

What kind of people there are, there will be what kind of government. It is also because when the government formulates policies, it often needs to listen to public opinion and satisfy the people's wishes. It is precisely because everyone thinks so and demands this. , the government promulgated such policies and implemented such laws. Only when the quality of the entire nation improves can the quality of the country improve; only when the people's minds are healthy can the government be healthy.
