《平易近人:习近平的语言力量》:
Once the bow is drawn, the arrow cannot turn back; the hooves of reform must move with all dispatch. But there will be resistance. It is inevitable that reforms will chafe against the interests of certain individuals or departments. If reforms are slackened or falter as a result of the pushback of those with vested interests, then the reforms run the risk of being truncated and all may come to naught. For instance, when the CPC initially put forward its objectives and stipulations for the current administrative reforms, a number of authoriUes did not want to hand over their respective powers. In response, the CPC refused to relax its commitment to "streamline administration and delegate more power to lower-level governments or social organizations" and continued to drive its "self-revolutionary" reforms at full speed ahead. On top of the administrative approval system reforms in 2013, the following year another 200-plus items requiring administrative approval were removed or transferred to lower-level governments or soaal organizaUons. The masses applauded the unabated forward push of administrative reform.
The current reforms are by no means a reenactment of the Great Leap Forward, as they are being carried out steadily with only "one footprint for each step." The Great Leap Forward we experienced in the late 1950s set the naUonal economy on the brink of total collapse. This is an error we cannot afford to repeat. The furtherance of all-around reform is an uphill battle. The waters are perilous, and storms must be weathered. We must remain on an even keel. We cannot recklessly barrel ahead or take another "great leap forward." We must "overcome every obstacle one by one and solve every issue one by one." We must regroup at every step and seek overall victory in the miniature victories that happen along the way We must not buy into the delusion that one will beef up after eating a single meal. We must keep a steady pace as many of us ride on at full tilt.
