定义

硬骨头，原意是骨头很硬，引申为坚强不屈的人或着艰巨的任务。硬骨头有两个方面的含义：一是比喻坚强不屈的意志或具有这种意志的人。二是比喻艰巨的任务。如毛泽东在《论持久战》说：“例如进攻某一运动中之敌，打早了，暴露了自己，给了敌人以预防条件；打迟了，敌已集中驻止，变为啃硬骨头。这就是时机问题。”（via: https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%A1%AC%E9%AA%A8%E5%A4%B4/1588907?fr=aladdin）2014年2月7日，习近平在接受俄罗斯电视台专访时提到：“在中国这样一个拥有13亿多人口的国家深化改革，绝非易事。中国改革经过30多年，已进入深水区，可以说，容易的、皆大欢喜的改革已经完成了，好吃的肉都吃掉了，剩下的都是难啃的硬骨头。这就要求我们胆子要大、步子要稳。胆子要大，就是改革再难也要向前推进，敢于担当，敢于啃硬骨头，敢于涉险滩。步子要稳，就是方向一定要准，行驶一定要稳，尤其是不能犯颠覆性错误。”（via: http://cpc.people.com.cn/xuexi/n/2015/0729/c385474-27377276.html）这既是针对我国改革进入攻坚期和深水区的现实向全党全国人民发出的动员令，也明确传递出进一步加快推进重要领域、关键环节改革的信息。
