Trang 3INTRODUCTION
1 The urgency of the thesis topic
Research to show the nature, position, and role of human in relation to the objective world, society and himself is always an issue mentioned in the entire history of philosophical thought However, scince Marxism was born, the human was fully studied as a creative subject and the development goal of history This
is the basic view of historical materialism
Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has always combined the basic principles of Marxism with China's actual conditions to create a theoretical system with the spirit of “Chineseization of Marxism”, and using this theoretical system for practical guidance Mao Zedong, the nucleus of the first generation of leaders who upheld the people's mastery position in the life of the Chinese nation; Deng Xiaoping, the nucleus of the second generation of leaders, stated "Three Benefits" (Three beneficial things are: It is beneficial for the development of socialist productive forces, beneficial for growth), with the main purpose of improving people's living standards; Jiang Zemin, the nucleus of the third generation of leaders, put forward the theory of “Three Representatives” whose key is to represent the fundamental interests of the masses of the people; Hu Jintao, the representative of the fourth generation of leaders gave a view of
“scientific outlook on development”, its core meaning is also “People Oriented” (taking people as the root), associated with the point of view “people is all-important” (taking people as the root); Xi Jinping, the nucleus of the fifth generation of leaders, raised the “People - centered” development ideology in the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era In order to study the issue of comprehensive human development, especially the issue of comprehensive human development in the process of building the socialism with Chinese characteristics in the most accuratly, completly and scientific way, the studying should be started by the theoretical basis

The Communist Party of Vietnam always attaches great importance to the position and role of people in the development of the country, especially in the context of the period of industrialization, modernization and international integration, our Party has always placed the goal of comprehensive human development in Vietnam at the center of the goal of comprehensive reform of the country However, in Vietnam, there have not been in-depth and complete studies
on the issue of comprehensive human development in the process of building the socialism with Chinese characteristics This is a significant gap about this field in research Many problems in comprehensive human development that Vietnam is facing today are the same problems that China is facing, therefore, it is important
to study the issue of comprehensive human development in the process of national construction Socialism with Chinese characteristics has profound scientific and practical significance, helping the Communist Party of Vietnam to come up with guidelines, policies and solutions for comprehensive human development in
Trang 5Vietnam to successfully implement the strategy developping high-quality human resources to serve the country's renovation, accelerate industrialization, modernization and international integration
