Unite as One to Engage in Hard Work ����This is the third article by Our Commentator on the guiding principle for this year's work of the whole Party and state. Highlights of the commentary are as follows: ����Our reform and opening drive has entered the stage of tackling difficult problems requiring overall advance and comprehensive spreading. The arduous tasks and pressing situation require that we mobilize and organize the strengths of the whole Party and people of the whole country to unite as one, engage in arduous work and exert themselves to create a new situation in the drive for reform, opening up and economic construction. ����Only when we are united as one, can we form a cohesive and powerful force. The superiority of our system is to concentrate strength to undertake major tasks. This requires that we be united as one. Since we have common ideals and common interests, we can be united as one .Now that our reform drive has entered the stage of tackling difficult tasks and developed to a crucial period, we must be united as one. ����The in-depth development of the reform and opening-up drive has increasingly involved the readjustment of interests. Unity requires attention to coordinating the relationships between various interested parties and, under the unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, giving full play to the initiatives of various quarters. The key to this lies in the correct handling of the relationship between the central and local, centralized and decentralized and overall and partial interests. ����The work we are engaged in is an unprecedented, completely new undertaking for which nothing can be drawn from or imitated and nothing can replace our own efforts. Our own work can only be done by ourselves. For this reason, unity and hard struggle are the good character and mental outlook we must have in doing this year's work, as well as various items of future work well. ����The key to unity and hard struggle lies in leading cadres, leading bodies and leading cores at various levels. ���� Opinion 1999-01-11 Page1
