Features: Where does the deep underlying reason lie for Deng Xiaoping proposing "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics"? Where exactly does "Chinese Characteristics" in socialism lie? Why does adding the four words "Chinese Characteristics" before socialism unleash such immense vitality and produce such miraculous power? Or, how did Deng Xiaoping creatively combine the theory of scientific socialism with the actual conditions of contemporary China? How can we grasp Deng Xiaoping's "view of Chinese Characteristics" in socialism? And so on. To these questions, this book provides scientific answers through the combination of theory and practice. The main research content includes the following three aspects:
First, the basic basis for Deng Xiaoping proposing the issue of socialist characteristics. It elaborates from theoretical basis, historical basis, national conditions basis, and era basis, thereby forming the first part of the book—The Origin and Basis of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.
Second, the particularity of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It elaborates from special historical starting point, special economic model, special political system, special ideology, special development path, and special relationship between two systems, thereby forming the second part of the book—Where Does Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Lie?
Third, the historical status and great significance of Deng Xiaoping's view of socialist characteristics. Additionally, the preface of the book—Some Reflections on the Study of Deng Xiaoping's View of Socialist Characteristics—addresses issues such as the necessity of the argument, the basic approach and methods of research, and the definition of relevant concepts, reflecting the book's rigorous logical structure and the author's meticulous scholarship. The appendix of the book—A Review of Research on Several Issues of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics—systematically introduces and summarizes the new achievements in China's theoretical circles related to the study of Deng Xiaoping's view of socialist characteristics in recent years, along with appropriate evaluations.
The main purpose of this book is to systematically explore Deng Xiaoping's view of socialism from the perspective of "characteristics," which in fact is an interpretation of Chinese characteristics, the Chinese path, the Chinese experience, and the Chinese model. Around the theme of Deng Xiaoping's view of socialist characteristics, the book provides elaborations and discussions from multiple angles and levels, reflecting the latest progress in China's theoretical circles in this research field.
