By 2008, the reform and opening up has entered 30 years. Looking back on these 30 years, China's economy and society have achieved unprecedented breakthroughs, leaps and bounds and great development; Emancipating our minds, renewing our concepts, deepening our reform, and advancing our opening up, which further promotes our reform.
"Prosperity towards the sea, but failure behind the sea. If the sea is closed for a few days, it will be strong. " 30 years of reform and opening up is like Zheng He's voyage to the West 600 years ago. We are going to the world with a more open spirit, and Kaiyang is looking to the world for the peaceful rise and great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
On this occasion, starting from today, the annual planning "30 Years a Day" and "China Journal" will be launched twice a day to record the course of reform and opening up and the history of ideological emancipation in the past 30 years by restoring the landmark events of "30 years today".
Let's relive history together. In the coming year, our report will replay the road that China has traveled in the past 30 years. The introduction of the first economic system reform plan, the first central organ to establish a press spokesman system, the birth of the first joint-stock enterprise, the first China film to win an international prize, the first foreign fashion show held in China, the first mobile phone ... many "new things" that now seem to have become basic knowledge caused such a violent shock at that time.
We try to sort out the development context. We are not limited to "awakening" the memories of the past, but also trying to "peek at the leopard" and see the micro-knowledge. We don't forget to look up at the vast social forest, but also look down at the vividness of every grass and tree taking root and sprouting. We want to analyze, interpret and judge the development process from every change and pulse of society, and get the logic and path of China's progress.
This 30-year history is the history of the country's comprehensive national strength from "on the verge of collapse" to "shocking the world"; This 30-year history is a history of emancipating the mind, breaking all kinds of ideological shackles and seeking or returning to common sense; This 30-year history is a history of reforming the system and mechanism that does not meet the requirements of modern development and establishing a modern national development model; This 30-year history is a history of opening to the outside world, increasing international cooperation and gradually integrating into the world. This 30-year history is also a history of realizing that it is necessary to expand from one-way economic development to scientific development that is comprehensively promoted by politics, culture and society. This 30-year history is a history of exploring "people-oriented", carrying forward people's values, protecting private property, guaranteeing freedom and highlighting rights and interests, and therefore it is a history created by the whole people.
Progress has not been smooth sailing. Every step of reform and opening up is accompanied by the rediscovery and return of common sense of development, the abolition of old concepts and systems, and the establishment of new concepts and systems. Whenever we encounter difficulties in our progress, there are always people who criticize the reform and opening up. However, after some ideological discussions, "unshakable reform" will still become a common knowledge. This is because, after 30 years of achievements, the reform has given people benefits and happiness, and also given people confidence and hope-practice, which is the only criterion for testing truth at any time.
As stated in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, reform and opening-up "as a new great revolution, it can't be smooth sailing, and it can't be accomplished overnight", and reform and opening-up "can't be denied, and there is no way out for pause and retrogression".
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the reform and opening-up, and the country will solemnly commemorate and systematically review and summarize the experience of the 30 years of reform and opening-up. Remember that the past is for the future. With the continuous reform of the economic system, profound changes have taken place in the social structure, interest pattern and ideological concepts, and some long-standing unresolved problems and contradictions have emerged, and the reform has entered the "deep water area". To achieve the goal of modernization, this "deep water area" is unavoidable and unavoidable. Then, what kind of development logic and path to follow, smoothly pass through the "deep water area" and reach the ideal other shore, and review and summarize the 30-year history, we will definitely find the answer.
