3. Cause analysis of Xi Jinping's governing concept is to inherit and develop those of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping
3.1. Cause analysis of inheritance
Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping are two-generation great leaders of China. They initiated new situations for China during some certain periods, forming Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory. Their thought and the theory were the valuable intellectual treasures to the Communist Party of China. And have important directive significance at any time in Chinese history.
3.2. Cause analysis of development
3.2.1. The historical backgrounds are different
During Maoist Era, the themes were wars and revolutions. Bipolarity of the cold war had a very big impact on Mao Zedong. Yet the consolidation of the domestic political power and the improvement of people's living standard also posed a hard challenge to Mao Zedong, which were completely different problems faced during the revolutions. The international and domestic situations were bound to directly affect the idea of Mao Zedong's governance.
The themes of times of Deng Xiaoping, however, were peace and development. The political and economic developments of the world were changing each day, and China had just ended ten years of "Cultural Revolution". The people of the whole country were strongly hoping for stability and prosperity. How to make full use of the favorable international environment, to seek a new road of China's development, and to meet the needs of the people, not only became the most urgent task in front of Deng Xiaoping, but the core of Deng Xiaoping's idea of governance.
Since over 30 years of China's Reform and Opening up, China has stridden forward and its economic ranked the second in the world, people's living standards are improved remarkably, and the comprehensive national strength is rising notably, with its improvement of international status and international influence，China has shaken off the poverty and backwardness since the modern times, a confident China is standing in the east today. For the great achievements gained in China, the world exclaimed: some expressed admiration, some expressed praise, and some showed affirmation. But there were also a small amount of countries which had not fully adapted to the rising China. Although the current international situation changes constantly, the international pattern develops towards multi-polarization.
How to create a favorable international environment, and to make China more confidently and calmly step into the stage of international politics, letting more countries know China, and welcome China, are the arduous tasks faced by current leading group of China. However, China has experienced thirty years of rapid development, and the accumulation of problems reached an extraordinarily sharp degree. How to change the ideas of governance, to break the deadlock, and to lead China's development to a new level, are serious challenges. The international and domestic backgrounds as well directly affected governing ideas of the central collective leadership with Xi Jinping at the core.
3.2. 2. Personal Characters and Growth Experience are different
Mao Zedong was born in semi-colonial and semi-feudal China, grew-up and matured in revolutionary war age. in addition, Mao Zedong was idealistic, very stubborn and competitive. And these characters later were bound to influence Mao Zedong's governing concepts consequentially. So he would pursue the ideal egalitarianism, and attempt to use it to bring China to a height of development，so as to realize his dream of strengthening nation and enriching people. Attention and launch mass movements formed in the revolution period, also applied him the methods of using such mass struggles to solve existing contradictions in the society, and cleaning away all obstructions that prevent him from achieving his dream of governing a country.
Deng Xiaoping was born and raised in the age as Mao Zedong, from some aspect, but I think one difference in his growing experience is that Deng Xiaoping used to study in France. Although not every study-abroad experience makes a difference, Deng Xiaoping's studying in France certainly broadened his horizon. Having experienced the revolutionary war times and the founding of China, Deng Xiaoping belonged to the first generation of the leading group, so he could look from a high altitude; And he was not the core, so he could calmly see the essence of the problem of Chinese. Deng Xiaoping was pragmatic, he refused to go to the senseless argument, but first do then summarize. These were undoubtedly the distinctive characters of his governing philosophy.
For the politic records of the current Chinese supreme leader Xi Jinping, the most common comment is, "he worked steadily from the most grass-roots". Xi Jinping officially began his political life from 1982, serving as the Deputy Secretary of Heibei province Zhengding County Party committee. Until now, he has worked in this field for 32 years. Before working in the CPC central office, he had different positions in Hebei, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, four provinces and cities. In Zhengding County in Hebei province, he worked as the county Party Secretary; For 17 years, he worked from the deputy mayor to the vice secretary of provincial Party committee, governor in Fujian. Since then, he worked in Zhejiang, Shanghai as the provincial leader.
His personal growth experience reflects his understanding of the grass-roots people, so he thought his governing idea is to serve the people. Central Party School professor Han Qingxiang thinks he is a outwardly gentle but inwardly stern, and described him a "velvet grove" and as a person with principle and pursuit for unity. Of course people here should refer to. So Xi Jinping took officers in the strong anti-corruption, put forward the "kill both tigers and flies", and rectify the style, such as "the eight regularities" and "four styles", reflecting his principle of governing the country.
Conclusion
In conclusion, According to the different missions and goals of the different times, different Chinese leaders will have different governing concepts. Yet, the Socialist Road with Chinese Characters must be a long-term and systematic project. The governing ideas of all the Chinese leaders should be traced to the same origin, and are as well innovative. The governing concept of Xi jinping's governing idea is just to inherit and develop those of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
