He proposes to establish a correct concept of the people’s rights and interests and attempts to achieve the common prosperity and social harmony, with people oriented view as a fundamental dimension of exploring the essence of socialism. Meanwhile, adhering to the practice point of view, Deng Xiaoping puts forward the idea of emancipating the mind, daring to try, and firmly grasping the main line of the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics. He shows his logical characteristics of persisting in innovatively exploring the essence of socialism. He focuses on the unity of history and reality, exploration and science, justice and interest, strategy and tactic.
