In the lecture, Professor Li pointed out that promoting the construction of core values through the Constitution and laws is a fundamental project, a soul engineering project, as well as a common responsibility of all members of the Communist Party of China and Chinese society. It is also the correct way to adapt to the rapid social and economic development. Since the reform and opening up, the people’s value orientation has become more and more pluralistic. In the face frequent social changes, it is necessary to establish common values accepted by people of all nationalities in the country, so as to enable them to work with one heart and one mind and direct their efforts toward the same goal. By promoting the construction of core values through the Constitution and laws, China can also enhance its capacity for state governance, cultivate socialist morality, and improve the socialist system of law with Chinese characteristics. Promoting the construction of core values through the Constitution and laws is not an isolated work, but as systematic and comprehensive project that must be advanced in coordination with various other works under the overall objective of national development.
