“发展文明,非仅关于财富一方面,并负谋人民之幸福与安全”,孙中山先生的这一名言,在强调“文明”是一个综合性概念的同时,蕴含了深刻的民本思想。今天,伟人故里中山市秉承先生遗训,争创全国文明城市,致力于发展现代文明,全面追求人民生活质量、生存价值和个体素质的提高,走出了一条经济社会协调发展的路子。 “Developing civilization means not only wealth but also the happiness and security of the people.” This famous statement by Dr. Sun Yat-sen implies that “civilization” is a comprehensive concept and contains profound people-centered thinking. Today, Zhongshan City, a great hometown adhering to the gentleman’s teachings, strives for a civilized city in China and is committed to developing modern civilization. It pursues people’s life quality, survival value and individual quality in an all-round way. It has taken a path of coordinated economic and social development.
