Abstract

The key to building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great

rejuvenation of the Chinese nation lies in the party and the people. The Fourth Plenary Session of the

20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasized that "the whole party and people

of all ethnic groups in China should unite and strive for the realization of the Tenth Five-Year Plan"

and clearly put forward the task of "fully mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the

whole society to participate in Chinese modernization". This important requirement profoundly reveals

that the core of promoting Chinese-style modernization and realizing high-quality social development

lies in rallying the joint efforts of the whole society. Fully mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative and

creativity of all kinds of social subjects to participate in Chinese modernization is the key driving force

to solve the development problems, stimulate social vitality and promote the cause, and profoundly

reveals the core value of the coordinated participation of social forces in the process of modernization.

1. Connotation Expansion of People-orientedTheory inModernization Practice

The value concept centered on "people are the main force of social development" is an important

perspective to understand social progress. Guo (2025) argues that in the practical process of Chinese

modernization, by activating the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the subject, the deep

transformation from subject cognition to practical motivation is realized, which shows the practical

significance and rich connotation of this concept in contemporary practice.the key actors must possess

the capability to mediate between the interests of both parties and achieve a smooth resolution in

conflicts arising from both upward and downward empowerment.In other words, this requires people to

actively adjust the upward and downward relationship, and it is inevitable to fully mobilize people's

enthusiasm, initiative and creativity.

Enthusiasm is the active recognition and participation consciousness of social subjects to the law of

modernization development. Social development is an objective process in which productive forces and

relations of production, economic base and superstructure co-evolve. As the main body of practice, the

essence of social members' positivity lies in their rational cognition and value recognition of the

inevitability of modernization development, which is an organic unity of objective laws and main body

needs. On the one hand, the enthusiasm is reflected in the deep understanding that Chinese

modernization is the inevitable trend of social development, and that modernization is the only way to

improve the quality of life and realize social progress; On the other hand, enthusiasm stems from the

dialectical unity of individual development and overall social development, and is an internal

recognition of the concept of "development achievements are shared by all members". The motivation

of this enthusiasm is essentially the subjective transformation of social members' personal struggle into

the torrent of social development, and then forms the conscious consciousness of actively participating

in economic construction and social governance, which is a vivid embodiment of human social nature

in the process of modernization.

Initiative is the practical responsibility and exploration consciousness of social subjects to break

through the bottleneck of development. From the perspective of social development, initiative is

embodied in the active practice of social members to solve development problems and break through

institutional and institutional obstacles on the basis of following the law of development. This initiative

stems from an accurate grasp of the development needs, and it is a practical character of forming a clear

understanding of what needs to be done, what can be done and what should be done on the basis of

clearly understanding the development requirements of the times and responding to the realistic needs

of society. In the process of Chinese modernization, initiative is manifested in the pioneering spirit of

various social subjects in development practice, which is the practical vitality of breaking through path

dependence, getting rid of experience constraints and actively exploring the practical development path,

confirming the basic cognition that social subjects are the core force to promote development and

change.

Creativity is the core strength and value realization of social subjects to promote social progress.

Creativity is the dialectical unity of productivity development and individual all-round development,

and its core feature is to break through the existing development level and optimize social relations and

production mode through practical activities. From a practical point of view, creativity is not only an

innovative force to break through the traditional development model, but also a constructive force to

build a new development pattern. Through scientific and technological innovation, institutional

innovation, cultural innovation and other specific forms, it promotes the coordinated upgrading of

productivity and production relations, helps social development to move towards a higher quality and

more sustainable stage, and finally points to the ideal state in which individual values and social values

can be realized together.

2. Enthusiasm, Initiative andCreativityAre theCore Power Support of ChineseModernization.

Enthusiasm is the premise of initiative and creativity, which provides cognitive and emotional support

for follow-up practice; Initiative is the key intermediary between enthusiasm and creativity, which

realizes the transformation from cognition to practice; As the highest form of the two, creativity is not

only the inevitable result of their joint action, but also its ultimate value destination. Luo and Ding

(2025) pointed out that, based on the laws of modern development, in order to successfully advance

modernization, it is necessary to focus on tapping into the endogenous resources of modernization and

cultivating an endogenous power system for modernization.Fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative

and creativity of the whole society, profoundly grasp the essential attribute of social subject, not only

adhere to the core position of "social subject is the fundamental driving force for development", but

also combine the practical needs of Chinese modernization, enrich the theoretical understanding of the

driving force for development, and provide a profound practical foundation and strong power support

for promoting modernization.

Safeguarding the subject status is the fundamental premise of activating "enthusiasm, initiative and

creativity". The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee (2024) emphasized

upholding the principle of putting people first, planning and promoting reforms from the perspective of

the overall, fundamental, and long-term interests of the people.The core essence of Chinese

modernization is people-oriented modernization. As the practical subject and value subject of

modernization, the protection of social members' subjective status is the logical starting point to

stimulate endogenous motivation. Only in the whole process from system design to practice promotion,

the rights of participation, expression and development of social members are guaranteed, so that

individuals can truly feel the same frequency resonance between their own struggle and social

development, can we fundamentally awaken the enthusiasm of active participation, cultivate the

initiative of being brave in exploration, and then continuously release the creative vitality of solving

problems and promoting progress in practical scenes such as industrial upgrading, improvement of

people's livelihood and social governance. This not only conforms to the development concept of

"development for the people, relying on the people and sharing the fruits by the people", but also

realizes the high degree of unity between the main driving force and the development goal, and injects

the deepest and most lasting source of strength into modernization.

Respect for practice initiative is the key support to mobilize "enthusiasm, initiative and creativity".

During the early stages of industrialization, a large amount of rural resources, talent, technology, and

other production factors were invested in cities, enabling them to rapidly develop substantial productive

capacity within a short period and drive economic and social development.[3]Enter a new era,the

initiative spirit of social subjects is rooted in grass-roots practice, from the practical experience and

wisdom accumulated by the masses in solving practical problems, and is an important source to

promote system optimization, technological innovation and social progress. From the innovation of

grass-roots governance mode to the exploration of industrial development path, from the optimization

of people's livelihood service mode to the promotion of digital practice, the pioneering practice of

social subjects has promoted round after round of development breakthroughs and become an

important support for high-quality development. In the process of promoting Chinese modernization,

we must always respect the initiative spirit of social subjects, fully tap the wisdom and strength

contained in the masses, and fully summarize and popularize the innovative experience in grassroots

practice.

Activating creative vitality is a long-term guarantee for the continuous release of "enthusiasm, initiative

and creativity" Labor is the fundamental way to create a better life, and innovation is the core means to

improve the quality of development. At present, the key to promoting high-quality development,

improving people's well-being and promoting common prosperity lies in stimulating the enthusiasm,

initiative and creativity of the whole society. The core is to provide good conditions and environment

for social members to start businesses, so that everyone can become a participant, contributor and

beneficiary of development. We must rely on the wisdom and strength of the whole society to create a

good atmosphere that encourages exploration and tolerates trial and error, so that the vitality of various

development factors such as labor, knowledge, technology, management and capital can fully flow.

With the improvement of the training system of skilled talents, the extensive coverage of creative space

and incubation platform, and the continuous smooth channel of innovation transformation, social

members are not only witnesses of development, but also promoters of progress. Only by continuously

breaking the institutional and institutional obstacles that constrain innovation and improving the

development pattern of co-construction, co-governance and sharing can creative vitality be

continuously released in the process of modernization.

3. Practical Path to Promote theWhole Society to Participate inModernization in Coordination

Consolidate development consensus and build a solid ideological foundation.Studies by Sakiko et al.

(2019) indicate that the growing economic importance of developing countries has generated debate

about the future of global governance, and the

role that they play in shaping global institutions and norms. It is necessary to deeply explain the core

significance of mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the whole society to promote

Chinese modernization through diversified and grounded communication methods, so that the

development concept can enter the grassroots and be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For

example, relying on community propaganda, online popular science platforms, industry exchange

forums and other carriers, we can interpret the internal relationship between the goals and tasks of

modernization and individual development in easy-to-understand language and break down cognitive

barriers. At the same time, guided by the scientific development concept, we should integrate all kinds

of propaganda resources, create an all-round and multi-level ideological guidance system, effectively

gather the wisdom and strength of different groups and industries, guide members of society to

establish a sense of responsibility that "everyone is a participant in modernization", and form a strong

ideological synergy of the whole society with one mind and one effort to provide solid spiritual support

for modernization.

Build a participation platform and smooth the channels of practice. Adhere to the people-oriented

development orientation, always take the realization of people's longing for a better life as the starting

point and the end result of all work, and systematically build an all-round and wide-ranging social

participation system. At the institutional level, we will further improve the grass-roots mass autonomy

system and the democratic management system of enterprises and institutions, enrich the specific forms

of democratic consultation and decision-making, and broaden the participation channels of online and

offline integration, so that members of society can express their demands and participate in public

affairs conveniently and efficiently. In the scene of grass-roots governance, we should fully respect the

people's pioneering experience, encourage and support urban and rural communities to carry out

self-governance practice innovation in light of their own reality, such as promoting community

chamber and residents' proposal system, so as to enhance the people's ability of self-management and

self-service. At the same time, we will promote the development of public services in the direction of

equalization and precision, optimize the service supply structure according to the different needs of

different groups, and improve the resource supporting policies in the fields of education, medical care

and old-age care. Through various measures such as policy guidance, financial support and technical

empowerment, the endogenous motivation of the whole society to participate in modernization will be

fully stimulated, and finally a vivid development situation will be formed in which everyone is

responsible, everyone is responsible and everyone enjoys it.

Optimize the development environment and cultivate fertile ground for innovation. Guo (2025) et al.

argues that Chinese government agencies select appropriate frame functions for public communication

on the basis of the content and focus of each SDG. (Fukuda-Parr & Muchhala, 2020) Thus, focus on

the whole chain demand of talent growth and innovation practice, and accelerate the construction of a

systematic, coordinated and efficient institutional environment and guarantee system. In terms of talent

cultivation, the establishment of a hierarchical and classified training mechanism not only strengthens

the systematic cultivation of talents in basic disciplines, but also pays attention to the precise

cultivation of applied and skilled talents to match the talent needs of different industries. At the same

time, we should improve the use mechanism of talents, break the restrictions of identity, region and

industry, provide a development platform for fair competition for all kinds of talents, improve the

incentive mechanism for competing for growth, closely link innovation achievements with personal

income and career development, and enhance the sense of acquisition and accomplishment of talents.

In the construction of fault-tolerant mechanism, we should uphold the principle of respect and tolerance,

clarify the fault-tolerant boundary, and relieve the worries of the subjects who dare to explore and

innovate. In addition, we will continue to optimize the market-oriented, rule-of-law and international

business environment, increase the protection of the entire chain of intellectual property rights, and

severely crack down on infringement and counterfeiting to provide a solid guarantee for innovation

results; Improve the diversified investment mechanism, guide social capital to participate in scientific

and technological innovation, increase support for innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises,

promote the efficient concentration of innovation elements to market players, build a technological

innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market-oriented and deep integration of

Industry-University-Research, and open up the transformation channel of innovation achievements

from laboratory to market application, so that innovation vitality can fully flow in a good environment

and inject sustained impetus into Chinese modernization.
