"By the people, by the people and for the people" is the ideal government described by abraham lincoln in his Gettysburg address. These short sentences tell the true meaning of democracy. The government is not managed by the people, but by the people. Elected officials are regarded as public servants of the people and they represent the voters. People can express their feelings to their representatives by voting, and even organize peaceful demonstrations to express their feelings and participate in political affairs. Every citizen has the right and obligation to protect his own interests and decide how their government should be governed. \ r \ n \ r \ Mr. Zhongshan's Three People's Principles are related to Lincoln's Three People's Principles, not inferred out of thin air, but actually derived from Mr. Zhongshan's own explanation. 192 1 On March 6, 2000, Dr. Sun Yat-sen delivered a speech in the special office of the Kuomintang headquarters in China, that is, the Specific Measures of the Three People's Principles, in which he proposed: "The Three People's Principles based on brotherhood are obtained by combining the theories of ancient and modern China and foreign countries with the world trend. Even the fundamentalism of former US President Lincoln conforms to the Brothers and the Three People's Principles. Its original text is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Because there is no suitable translator, my brother translated it into "for the people", "for the people" and "for the people". What the people have is for the people, what the people have is for the people, and what the people enjoy is for the people. His theories of "for the people", "by the people" and "for the people" are the brotherly theories of "nationality", "civil rights" and "people's livelihood". It can be seen that the reason why the United States has prospered to the end of today is because of the philosophy of the sages. My brother's Three People's Principles won my heart before he went abroad. Brother, when I was overseas, foreigners didn't know what the Three People's Principles were, so they asked me. At that time, my brother didn't have a suitable translator to answer him, so he had to quote Lincoln doctrine to tell him that outsiders would understand my doctrine. It can be seen that the Brothers and Three People's Principles not only have a history, but also cater to the modern trend. " \ r \ n \ r \ n192165438+On February 7th, Mr. Sun Yat-sen gave a speech on "The Three People's Principles as a tool to create a new world" at the seventy-sixth group welcome meeting in Guilin military and political circles. He clearly pointed out that "The Three People's Principles are nationalism, civil rights and people's livelihood. These three principles are completely connected with the three meanings of "owned by the people", "ruled by the people" and "enjoyed by the people" mentioned by President Lincoln. The people mean nationalism. Why should our revolutionary party advocate nationalism? Because the Qing dynasty was autocratic for more than 200 years, we Han people suffered from the pain of national subjugation, and later were oppressed by the world trend, and I am afraid we will be extinct. Therefore, a few people come out to preach and preach to get rid of authoritarian aliens. Later, the whole country realized that the Manchu Dynasty, which conquered China, was overthrown and the sovereignty of China was returned to the Han people. The territory of China belongs entirely to the Han people. The success of the revolution ten years ago was the success of nationalism. So "nationalism" and "owned by the people" have the same meaning. After the success of the revolution, China's land and sovereignty were taken back from the Manchu emperor to the people of China. But our people, in the name of political sovereignty, cannot govern the country without political sovereignty. Only when political sovereignty is truly in the hands of the people can we govern the country, which is called people's rule. This principle of realizing people's rule is called democracy. As for people's livelihood, it is realized by people's thoughts. Because we have land and sovereignty, we will naturally think of a complete way of enjoyment to achieve complete happiness in life. How to enjoy happiness in life is called people's livelihood. Therefore, "owned by the people", "ruled by the people" and "enjoyed by the people" are the three people's principles advocated by this president all his life. \ r \ n \ r \ On second thought, great minds think alike. The Three People's Principles put forward by Dr. Sun Yat-sen based on China's national conditions at that time were so consistent with those put forward by President Lincoln based on American historical traditions. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's explanation of President Lincoln's Three People's Principles is not irrelevant at all, but makes people feel his political wisdom and world vision. Dr. Sun Yat-sen once said: "The world trend is vast, those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it die. "Both Lincoln's Three People's Principles and Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles are in line with the historical trend, and China should continue along this road. In fact, Socialism with Chinese characteristics's formulation today is similar to the connotation of the Three People's Principles put forward by these two people, but the emphasis is different. \ r \ n \ r \ ngettysburg address \ r \ n \ r \ neighbour-Seven years ago, our ancestors established a new country on this continent, which was conceived in freedom and pursued the idea that all men are created equal. \ r \ n \ r \ nAt present, we are engaged in a great civil war, and we are testing whether this country, or any country with such thoughts and beliefs, can exist for a long time. We gathered in a big field of that war. We came here to dedicate part of the land on that battlefield to those who sacrificed their lives here for the survival of that country as their permanent resting place. It is very reasonable for us to do so. \ r \ n \ r \ However, in a deeper sense, we can't dedicate this land-we can't make it a sacred place-and we can't make it a place that people admire. Those brave men who fought here, living and dead, have consecrated this land, which is far beyond our humble ability. The world will pay little attention to, let alone remember, what we have said here for a long time, but they will never forget what these people have done here. On the contrary, we living people should devote ourselves to the unfinished business bravely advanced by those who fought here. We should devote ourselves to the great cause left before us here-because of their glorious sacrifice, we should be more determined to devote ourselves to the cause for which they made the final contribution-we are determined to swear here that they will not sacrifice in vain-this country will gain new freedom under the protection of God-this government of the people, by the people and for the people will not disappear from the earth.
