一次偶发事件常常使历史拐弯。“非典”危机还不能说是一个历史拐点,但非常时期的非常遭遇,使人们在原来以为应当如此的事情当中看到了种种不应如此。“非典”对中国人的冲击,不仅仅表现在不良的生活方式和落后的公共卫生管理机制方面,更反映在社会管理理念特别是行政观念上。抗击“非典”的斗争再一次提示我们,政治进步对于社会发展具有首要意义。 An accident often turns the corner of history. The SARS crisis can not yet be said to be a turning point in history. However, the unusual circumstances at an extraordinary time have caused people to see what should not have been the case in what they thought should be done. The impact of SARS on the Chinese people is not only reflected in the poor living style and the backward public health management mechanism, but also reflected in the concept of social management, especially the concept of administration. The fight against “SARS” once again prompts us that political progress is of primary importance to social development.
