What is the difference between "Mr." and "Comrade"?

The word "sir" was first used in the Analects of Confucius. It is written in the book "For the sake of government" that "when there is wine and food, the gentleman will serve it", which means father and brother.

But the meaning of "Mr." varies from time to time. In most of the scriptures, the term "sir" was used to refer to a teacher, and later, people also referred to older and more virtuous people as "sir". Because of this, Confucius was honored by the later feudal dynasties as the "Great Sage". In the Yuan Dynasty, Taoist priests were also called "Mr.".

Nowadays, "Mr." has become a common polite title in social occasions, not only men can be called "Mr.", but also women can be called "Mr.". Some women also call their husbands "Mr.". In some places, doctors are called "sir".

The origin of the word "comrade"

***Productivist countries have this word, of course, now Russia has this word

A few days ago, some provinces and cities have issued a document, requiring that all persons holding positions in the Party be called comrades, not positions, and that the Party send letters or written materials to the same. The same written materials. So, how did the word "comrade" come about?

Originally, in China's ancient times, "comrade" and Mr., elder, gentleman and other words have the same meaning, are between friends. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zuo Qiu Ming explained the word "comrade" in Guoyu - Jin Yu Si: "If you are of the same moral character, you are of the same mind, and if you are of the same mind, you are of the same comrade." The book of the Later Han Dynasty - Liu Tao biography, said: "all with friends, must also comrades."

In modern times, "comrade" has become a term of endearment among members of political parties. During the bourgeois democratic revolution, revolutionaries already called each other "comrade". In 1918, Dr. Sun Yat-sen published "A Letter to Comrades at Home and Abroad" and "A Letter to Comrades in Nanyang". The members of the League, who were bent on overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, also called each other "comrade", which sounded not only appropriate but also tragic. Sun Yat-sen, in his famous "Premier's Will," also called for "the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard."

In 1920, Mao Zedong, Luo Xuezan and others began to use the word "comrade" in their correspondence, and in 1921, the party program of the First National Congress of the Chinese ****production party stipulated that: "Anyone who recognizes the program and policies of this party and is willing to become a loyal member of it, and who is willing to become a member of it, shall be entitled to the same rights and privileges as those of other members. The Party program of the First Congress of the CPC in 1921 stipulated that: "Anyone who recognizes the Party's program and policies and is willing to become a loyal member of the Party may be accepted as a member of the Party and become a comrade, irrespective of sex or nationality, through the introduction of one of the members of the Party." This was the earliest use of the word "comrade" in an official document of the CPC and gave it a new meaning.

After 1923, the term "comrade" was used more often within the CPC and with foreign parties and workers' organizations. After the founding of New China, the term "comrade" became a term of endearment and respect for people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. Comrade Mao Zedong gave special instructions in 1959 to call each other "comrade", and on December 14, 1965, the Central Committee issued a circular calling for all Party members to call each other "comrade". By now, the "comrade" this name has not only a name, but to carry forward the Party's fine traditions, to overcome and resist the corrupt habits of the old society and bureaucratic style of a way.

In December 1978, the communiqué of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee once again stated, "The Plenary Session reiterated Comrade Mao Tse-tung's consistent claim that the Party should always refer to each other as comrades and not by their official titles."

Gay got that comrade was first called up by Hong Kong and Taiwan because of the similarity of meaning
