Comrades, friends:

On December 18, 1978, in the history of the Chinese nation, in the history of the Chinese Communist Party, in the history of the People's Republic of China, it will be an important day in the annals of history. On this day, our party convened the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee to realize the great turning point of the party's history since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and opened the great journey of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization.

Today, we are here to hold a grand gathering, reviewing the glorious course of the 40 years of reform and opening up, summing up the great achievements and valuable experience of reform and opening up, and mobilizing the entire party and the people of all nationalities to continue to push reform and opening up in the new era. The one-hundred-year struggle for the goal of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has been unremitting struggle.

Comrades, friends!

The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party was held at a major historical juncture of where the party and the country faced. At that time, the world economy developed rapidly, and science and technology progressed with each passing day. The decade of the "Cultural Revolution" led to the collapse of China's economy. People's food and clothing were a problem, and the country's construction industry was waiting. The inside and outside of the party strongly demanded that the mistakes of the "Cultural Revolution" be corrected, so that the party and the state would rise again from the crisis. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "If we do not implement reforms now, our modernization cause and socialist cause will be ruined."

Under the leadership of Comrade Deng Xiaoping and the support of the older generation of revolutionaries, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party broke through the serious shackles of the long-term "Left" mistakes, criticized the "two things" wrong policy, and fully affirmed that it must be fully and accurately mastered. The scientific system of Mao Zedong Thought highly appraised the discussion on the issue of the standard of truth, decisively ended "taking class struggle as the key link" and re-establishing the ideological line, political line, and organization line of Marxism. Since then, China’s reform and opening up has opened the curtain.

Our party’s historic decision to implement reform and opening up is based on a profound grasp of the future of the party and the country. It is based on a profound summary of the socialist revolution and construction practices. It is based on a profound insight into the trend of the times and is based on the masses of the people. Deep understanding of expectations and needs. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "Poverty is not socialism." "We must catch up with the times. This is the goal that reform must achieve."

Historical development has its laws, but people are not completely passive in it. As long as we grasp the historical development trend, seize the opportunity of historical change, work hard, and forge ahead, human society can make better progress.

Reform and opening up is a great awakening of our party. It is this great awakening that gave birth to the great creation of our party from theory to practice. Reform and opening up is a great revolution in the history of the development of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. It is this great revolution that has promoted the great leap of socialism with Chinese characteristics!

Comrades, friends!

The practice of 40 years has fully proved that since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, our party has united and led the roads, theories, systems, and cultures with Chinese characteristics opened up by the people of all nationalities in China. The basic theory and basics of the party have been formed. The route and basic strategy are completely correct.

The 40 years of practice has fully proved that China's development has provided a successful experience for the developing countries to modernize, demonstrated bright prospects, is a powerful force for promoting world peace and development, and is a major contribution of the Chinese nation to the progress of human civilization.

The practice of 40 years has fully proved that reform and opening up is an important magic weapon for the party and the people to catch up with the times. It is the only way to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is the key to determining the destiny of contemporary China. It is also the decision to realize "two hundred The key to achieving the goal of the year and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Only by conforming to the historical trend, actively adapting, and actively seeking change, can we walk with the times. "The power of the line is to become more and more advanced, and the depth of knowledge is more and more." The valuable experience accumulated during the 40 years of reform and opening up is a precious spiritual wealth of the party and the people. It is extremely important for the new era to adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics. The guiding significance must be cherished, persisted for a long time, and continuously enriched and developed in practice.

First, we must uphold the party’s leadership over all work and constantly strengthen and improve party leadership. The practice of 40 years of reform and opening up has inspired us: the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. Party, government, and the people's studies, the East and the West, the party, is leading everything. It is precisely because we have always adhered to the party’s centralized and unified leadership that we can achieve a great historical turning point, open a new era of reform and opening up, and a new journey of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Only in order to successfully cope with a series of major risk challenges and overcome countless difficulties and obstacles can we effectively respond to the situation. Pingfeng wave, war flood, anti-SARS, anti-earthquake, and crisis can not only take the closed rigid road or the evil road of changing the flag, but firmly adhere to the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. To uphold the leadership of the party, we must constantly improve the party's leadership and make the party's leadership more adaptable to the requirements of practice, the times, and the people. On the issue of upholding the party's leadership, the major principle that determines the future and destiny of the party and the country, the whole party and the country must maintain a high degree of ideological consciousness, political consciousness, and self-consciousness, and cannot be shaken at all.

On the way forward, we must strengthen the "four senses" and strengthen the "four self-confidences", resolutely safeguard the party's central authority and centralize and unify leadership, and implement and embody the party's leadership in reform, development, stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs, national defense, and the rule of the country. The military and other fields. Every step of reform and opening up is not easy. In the future, we will face such risk challenges and even encounter unimaginable storms. Our party must take the overall situation, coordinate all parties, adhere to scientific governance, democratic governance, and rule by law, improve the party's leadership style and ruling style, improve the party's ability to govern and leadership, and constantly improve the party's direction, the overall situation, the policy, The ability to promote reform and the determination to ensure that the ship of reform and opening up will follow the correct course.

Second, we must adhere to the people as the center and constantly realize the people's yearning for a better life. The practice of 40 years of reform and opening up has inspired us: seeking happiness for the Chinese people and seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation is the initial heart and mission of the Chinese Communists and the initial heart and mission of reform and opening up. It is the fundamental purpose of the party that our party comes from the people, roots the people, benefits the people, and serves the people wholeheartedly. We must take the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people as the fundamental starting point and end result of all our work, and persist in supporting the people without support, disapproval, Happy and unhappy as the basis for formulating policies, complying with the people's heart, respecting public opinion, paying attention to the people's sentiments, and striving for people's livelihood. It not only leads the people through the introduction and implementation of correct theories and guidelines, but also gains momentum from the people's practical creation and development requirements. Let the people share the fruits of reform and opening up and inspire the people to more consciously participate in the cause of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization.

On the way forward, we must always regard the people’s longing for a better life as our goal, practice the party’s fundamental purpose, implement the party’s mass line, respect the people’s dominant position, and respect the will of the people in their practical activities. The experience created, the rights it has, and the role it plays play a full role in inspiring the creative power that lies in the people. We must improve the democratic system, broaden the channels of democracy, enrich the forms of democracy, improve the guarantee of the rule of law, and ensure that the people enjoy the democratic rights that are widely, fully, truly, concretely and effectively used in accordance with the law. We must focus on solving the urgent needs of the people and let the people share economic, political, cultural, social, ecological and other development achievements. There are more, more direct and more realistic feelings of acquisition, happiness and security. Promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people.

Third, we must adhere to the guiding position of Marxism and constantly advance theoretical innovation on the basis of practice. The practice of 40 years of reform and opening up has inspired us: innovation is the life of reform and opening up. There is no end to practical development and there is no end to emancipating the mind. Engels said: "The ultimate cause of all social changes and political changes should not be found in people's minds, in people's increasingly acquainted understanding of eternal truth and justice, but in the change of production methods and exchange methods. To find". We adhere to the theory and practice, answer the questions of the times and the people's questions in a timely manner, clear up the fog of thoughts that plague and constrain the development of practice, continuously promote the popularization of Marxism in China, and constantly open up a new realm of Marxism.

On the way forward, we must adhere to the guiding principles of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thinking of the "Three Represents", the scientific development concept, and the socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and adhere to the organic unity of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts. The development of Marxism in the 21st century and contemporary Chinese Marxism is the historical responsibility of the contemporary Chinese Communist Party. We must strengthen the awareness of the problem, the consciousness of the times, and the sense of strategy. We should grasp the essence and internal relations of the development of things with a profound historical perspective and a broad international perspective, closely follow the creative practices of hundreds of millions of people, learn from the absorption of all outstanding human civilization achievements, and continually answer The new major issues raised by the times and practices have enabled contemporary Chinese Marxism to radiate a more brilliant truth.

Fourth, we must adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and constantly uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics. The practice of 40 years of reform and opening up has inspired us: the direction determines the future, and the road determines the fate. If we want to hold our destiny in our own hands, we must be determined to be unchanging and unchanging. In the 40 years of reform and opening up, the theme of all our party's theory and practice is to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics. In China, a big country with a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization and a population of more than 1.3 billion, there is no textbook that can be regarded as a golden rule, nor a teacher who can be arrogant to the Chinese people. Mr. Lu Xun said: "What is the road? It is trampled out from the place where there is no road, and it has been opened up from a place with only thorns." The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a broad road for contemporary China to catch up with the times and lead the development of the times. Don't waver to go down.

On the way forward, we must adhere to the guidance of the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, strengthen the "four self-confidences", and firmly grasp the direction of reform and opening up. What to change and how to change must be based on whether it is in line with the overall goal of perfecting and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. We must rectify the reforms that can be reformed, and should not be changed or The change will not change. We must uphold the party's basic line, unite the two basic points of adhering to the four basic principles and persist in reform and opening up with economic construction as the center, and adhere to the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. We will continue to do so for a long time.

Fifth, we must persist in improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and constantly exert and strengthen our institutional advantages. The practice of 40 years of reform and opening up has inspired us: the system is a fundamental, overall, stable, and long-term issue that affects the development of the cause of the party and the state. We have tweaked the key to perfecting and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, providing a powerful guarantee for liberating and developing social productive forces, liberating and enhancing social vitality, and maintaining the vitality of the party and the country. In order to maintain the stability of the overall situation of the society and ensure the people’s livelihood and security, National security provides a strong guarantee, letting all the energies of labor, knowledge, technology, management, capital and other elements compete to let go, so that all sources of social wealth are constantly flowing and constantly establishing a dynamic institutional mechanism.

On the way forward, we must unswervingly consolidate and develop the public sector of the economy, unswervingly encourage, support, and guide the development of the non-public sector of the economy, give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, give better play to the role of the government, and stimulate various market players. vitality. We must uphold the party's leadership, the people being the masters of the country, and the rule of law, and uphold and improve the people's congress system, the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the system of regional ethnic autonomy, and the system of grassroots self-government. Governing the country, consolidating and developing the most extensive patriotic united front, developing socialist deliberative democracy, and using the system to ensure that the people are the masters of the country. We must strengthen the institutional construction of the cultural field, raise the banner, gather the people's hearts, educate new people, promote the culture, display the image, actively cultivate and practice the core values of socialism, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and inherit the revolutionary culture and development. Advanced culture, strive to create a Chinese culture that shines in the light and shines in the world. We must strengthen the building of social governance systems, continuously promote social fairness and justice, and maintain social stability and order. We must strengthen the construction of an ecological civilization system and implement the most stringent ecological environmental protection system. We must resolutely remove all institutional and institutional obstacles and interests that hinder development, and accelerate the formation of a system that is complete in system, scientific and standardized, and effective in operation, and promote the maturity and stereotype of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.

Sixth, we must adhere to the development of the top priority and continuously enhance China's overall national strength. The practice of 40 years of reform and opening up has enlightened us: liberating and developing social productive forces and enhancing the comprehensive national strength of the socialist countries are the essential requirements and fundamental tasks of socialism. Only by firmly holding the center of economic construction, unswervingly insisting that development is the last word, development should be the strategic thinking of scientific development and high-quality development, and promoting sustained and healthy economic and social development, can comprehensively enhance China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, and national defense. Strength and comprehensive national strength can lay a solid material foundation for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The Chinese people have a great dream spirit, and the Chinese nation is full of revolution and openness. Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese nation upheld the great practice of creating Chinese civilization by upholding the spirit of "Zhou is the old state and its life is new." Since ancient times, there have been countless reforms in the land of China, and the heroic declaration has been left, such as "not to rule the world, not to rule the country." Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has carried out the social exchanges and cultural exchanges of the same region with confidence and generosity with the broad mind of "Great World" and "Concord Wanbang". It has written the long song of the vast road of Wanlibo Wanlibo. It has also created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an. It is this transformation and open spirit of "Tian Xingjian, gentlemen with self-improvement", "Geo-sports, gentlemen with virtue", which makes Chinese civilization the only splendid civilization in human history that has not been interrupted for more than 5,000 years. With thousands of years of history, change and openness are generally the historical norm of China. The Chinese nation continues to move toward the future with its attitude of reform and opening up. It has far-reaching historical roots and profound cultural roots.

If we are such a big country, we should have ambitions. Comrade Mao Zedong said: "To win the national victory, this is only the first step after the Long March. If this step is also worthy of pride, it is relatively small, and more proud to be behind. See China after a few decades. The victory of the people's democratic revolution will make people feel that it is just a short prelude to a long drama. The drama must start from the prelude, but the prelude is not the climax." "We are not only good at destroying an old world, we also Will be good at building a new world."

At the beginning of reform and opening up, although our country is large, with a large population and a weak foundation, we are faced with difficulties and challenges. However, we are full of confidence in the future and have designed a grand blueprint for achieving socialist modernization with more than 70 years and three steps. No extraordinary courage and firm self-confidence can't make such grand ideas and decisions.

For 40 years, we have determined that Castle Peak will not relax, and the wind and rain will move forward toward this great goal. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward higher goals for the development of China, and formed a strategic arrangement from building a well-off society in an all-round way to basically realizing modernization to building a socialist modernization and strengthening country. It has issued a dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The strongest sound.

The ancients said: "Those who are born, care, become loyal, and lose pride." Great dreams are not waiting for, screaming, but spelling out and doing it. What we are in now is a time when the ship is more turbulent and the road to the mountain is steeper. It is a time when it is getting harder and harder, getting more and more difficult, and not getting in and going back. Reform and opening up have gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, but they still need to wading through mountains and rivers. The mission ahead of the entire party and the people of all nationalities is even more glorious, the task is more arduous, the challenges are more severe, and the work is greater. In this era of thousands of sails and hundreds of battles, we must not be half-pointed, complacent, self-sufficient, and must not hesitate to succumb to the great struggles, great works, great undertakings, great dreams. Yong Li tides and fights hard.

Faith, faith, and faith are of the utmost importance. As small as a person, a group, as large as a political party, a nation, or a country, as long as there is faith, conviction, and confidence, it will become more and more frustrated and more eager to fight. Otherwise, it will not be defeated or defeated. collapse. Regardless of past, present and future, the belief in Marxism, the faith in socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the confidence in realizing the great Chinese rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are the powerful spirits that guide and support the Chinese people to stand up, get rich, and strengthen. power.
