Features: This book provides a panoramic overview of the systematic thinking and practice of the people in Zhongshan City, the hometown of Sun Yat-sen, focusing on analyzing the economic development system and social development system of Zhongshan City to elaborate on the coordinated development of the contemporary Zhongshan economy and society. It conducts a systematic and in-depth analysis of the systematic thinking embodied in mutual assistance, benevolence, openness, and inclusiveness. It also recreates the historical trajectory of Zhongshan's social development since the reform and opening-up: a comprehensive transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial society, from a rural society to an urban society, from a closed society to an open society, from a homogeneous and singular society to a heterogeneous and diverse society, and from an ethical society to a rule-of-law society. The coordinated development of the economy and society demonstrates the coordinated development of material civilization, spiritual civilization, and political civilization among the people of contemporary Zhongshan, as well as the concept of sustainable social development.
