The Question</p>
<p>Breaking the authority is sometimes necessary.</p>
<p>America and rapidly rising China are now two of the most advanced countries in the world. There are two figures that are responsible for each countrys success. Both of them took the charge of the country when it was in danger, broke the authority of its time and the tradition of the country, and gave the prosperity to the people. The similarity of this is no coincidence. It is the proof of the universality of the truth that it is necessary to break the authority when needed.
Faced with the destitution and tumult left by Chairman Maos disastrous great leap forward and cultural revolution, encountered by the demanding competition in the world, Chairman Deng took the torch from Chairman Mao. He was smart. While the people from the top government officials to the common citizens called the regress an accident and clang to the belief that the original blueprint of communism drafted by Chairman Mao would continue to work, he understood that the fatal loophole in the current system was the lack of market economy. He was courageous. While some critics condemned his act as a violation of the communism, he took the risk and understood that Chinese people needed prosperity, prosperity needed the sound economy, and the sound economy needed the combination of the state-run and the market-oriented economics. What a stunning braking on the authority! And it was his unprecedented policy that made China take the right course and get into the greatest countries in the world.
While Chairman Deng aggrandized the role of the market economy, F.D.R based on the situation, gave more space for governmental interference in the economy. Nevertheless, F.D.R obtained the similarly grand exploit. When he became president, the Great Depression was at its worst. Almost all the experts believed that the rehabilitation of economy should rely on a free market without too much interference from government. Based on this theory, the Hoover administration tried to restore the confidence in trade and commerce by balancing the government budget. Unfortunately, these policies caused only further recessions. However, F.D.R. knew that the only way to solve the crisis was to promise that the government would be unprecedentedly responsible for the welfare of its people. Although faced opposition from both left and right, he pushed a series of legislation which made up the body of his New Deal. Under his endeavors with American people, America restored its solid economy and F.D.Rs far-sighted reforms had turned the goals of U.S. government for good, for example, the governments responsibility for the welfare of its citizens, a fundamental change which endures till today.
Great figures are often the people who can stand out to break the authority when they perceive the truth. And Chairman Deng from China and President F.D.R from U.S.A are among them. They are great politicians and they are truth seekers. Its their striking courage to break the authority and speak the truth that distinguishes them in the history and continues to stimulate us to do the same when needed.</p>
