Times: Continue the spirit of reform and opening up Continue to write more stories of spring

Just as spring thunder awakens the earth, reform and opening up is a great awakening of our party and a great revolution in the history of the development of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. The Sixth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China deliberated and adopted the "Resolution of the CPC Central Committee on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Century-Long Struggle", summarizing the great achievements of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era from 13 aspects, one of the important aspects of which is to comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, the party has continuously promoted the comprehensive deepening of reform to march to breadth and depth, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics has become more mature and stereotyped, the level of modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity has been continuously improved, and the cause of the party and the country has been rejuvenated with new vitality.

Poor will change, change will be general, general will be long. More than 40 years ago, the world economy developed rapidly, scientific and technological progress was changing with each passing day, and the ten years of civil strife of the "Cultural Revolution" led to the brink of China's economy on the verge of collapse. Comrade Deng Xiaoping and the revolutionaries of the older generation, based on their profound grasp of the future and destiny of the party and the country, profound summaries of the reality of the socialist revolution and construction, comprehensively examined the international and domestic situations, made overall plans for the actual development and the expectations of the masses of the people, and convened the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party on December 18, 1978, which opened the great journey of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, and realized a great turning point of far-reaching significance in the history of the Party since the founding of New China.

The practice of great reform and opening up has forged the spirit of great reform and opening up. For more than 40 years, the party has led the people to carry out reform and opening up, opened roads in every mountain, built bridges in the face of water, crossed one rapid after another, and crossed one high mountain after another, creating great miracles. The global share of China's total economic output jumped from 1.8% in 1978 to more than 17% in 2020, exceeding 100 trillion yuan and becoming the world's second largest economy. From being poor and backward, to being rebuilt in peace and contentment, and to achieving a well-off society in an all-round way, from "catching up with the times" to "leading the times," and from "getting rich" to "getting strong," the magnificent course of reform and opening up has rewritten the fate of the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, changed the face of the Chinese nation, and injected the spiritual character of "pioneering and innovating, having the courage to take responsibility, being open and inclusive, and being inclusive" into the spiritual blood of the Chinese communists, and has become a precious spiritual wealth of the CPC that is not afraid of wind and rain and moves forward firmly.

In essence, the spirit of reform and opening up is interconnected with and in the same vein as the revolutionary spirit of various historical periods, and they take the prosperity and strength of the country and the happiness of the people as their historical mission, the liberation of productive forces and the development of productive forces as their fundamental purpose, and Marxism as their guiding ideology. The great spirit of reform and opening up not only contains the essential attributes of the revolutionary spirit of the Communist Party of China, but also highlights the connotation of the era of reform and opening up, and has become the most distinctive spiritual identity of the contemporary Chinese people. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, China's reform has entered a tough period and a deep-water area, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has broken through the shackles of ideology and concepts with unprecedented determination and strength, broken through the barriers of solidification of interests, promoted reform through the overall design of the system, and realized the transformation of reform from partial exploration and ice-breaking breakthrough to system integration and comprehensive deepening, creating a new situation in China's reform and opening up, and further enriching and developing the spiritual connotation of reform and opening up.

Without reform and opening up, there would be no China today, and there would be no China's tomorrow. The boat to the middle of the river is more urgent, and the road to the middle of the mountain is steeper. Carrying forward the spirit of reform and opening up in the new era and new journey not only requires us to inherit and develop its spiritual connotation, but also requires us to continuously transform our spiritual strength into a powerful material force to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and continue to promote reform and opening up in the new era with the spirit of reform and opening up. We must deepen reform with greater boldness, expand opening up with greater efforts, carry out reform and opening up to the end, continue to write more stories of spring, and strive to create new and greater miracles!
