Reflections on Xi's metaphors on governance

2. Mirror

We should take social fairness and justice and the living standards of the people as a mirror to examine our systems, mechanisms, policies and regulations in all respects, and introduce reforms accordingly by focusing on areas where the problems of injustice and inequality are most prevalent.

--Speech at the second plenary meeting of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, Nov 12, 2013

一面镜子

要把促进社会公平正义、增进人民福祉作为一面镜子，审视我们各方面体制机制和政策规定，哪里有不符合促进社会公平正义的问题，哪里就需要改革；哪个领域哪个环节问题突出，哪个领域哪个环节就是改革的重点。

——2013年11月12日，在党的十八届三中全会第二次全体会议上的讲话
