Three steps to guide the development of a new direction (brilliant course)

——The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clarified the timetable for the road map of socialist modernization

　　To promote the continuous prosperity and development of the cause of the party and the country, it is very important to establish the correct direction and path.

　　From October 25 to November 1, 1987, the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing.

This conference expounded the theory of the primary stage of socialism, summarized the party's basic line in the primary stage of socialism, determined the "three-step" development strategy, and clarified the road map and timetable for reform, opening up, and socialist modernization.

In-depth analysis of basic national conditions

-Systematic expounding of the theory of the primary stage of socialism

　　In 1987, Beijing in late autumn was breezy.

In the Great Hall of the People, nearly 2,000 representatives from all fronts, regions, and nationalities across the country welcomed the thirteenth congress of the party with warm applause.

　　The central task of the 13th National Congress of the Party is to adhere to and develop the line since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, accelerate and deepen reforms, and further define the basic principles of economic construction, economic system reform, and political system reform, and be determined in the process of reform and opening up. The basic policy of strengthening party building.

One of the outstanding contributions of this conference is to systematically expound the theory of the primary stage of socialism.

　　Making a scientific answer to the historical stage of our country is an urgent need for our country's socialist modernization since the reform and opening up.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, our party decisively shifted its work center to economic construction, made the great decision of reform and opening up, insisted on following its own path, and created and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The practice of reform and opening up and the continuous advancement of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics urgently require the Party to understand what socialism is, how to build socialism, and how my country’s reform and opening up and socialist modernization are based on a profound analysis of the basic national conditions and summary of practical experience. The basic line provides a clear answer from the theoretical and practical perspectives.

　　In 1979, Ye Jianying initially expressed his thoughts on the initial stage of socialism in a speech at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In 1981, the "Resolution on Certain Historical Issues of the Party Since the Founding of the People's Republic" passed by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party stated that "our socialist system is still in its infancy."

The report of the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the "Resolution on Guidelines for the Construction of Socialist Spiritual Civilization" at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China both reiterated their views on the primary stage of socialism.

　　On the eve of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Deng Xiaoping pointed out that the 13th National Congress of our Party should explain what stage China's socialism is at. This is the primary stage, the primary stage of socialism.

Socialism itself is the primary stage of communism, and China is in the primary stage of socialism, which is the stage of underdevelopment.

He emphasized that everything must be based on this reality and make plans based on this reality.

　　The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of my country proposed that a correct understanding of the historical stage our society is currently in is the primary issue in building socialism with Chinese characteristics and the fundamental basis for us to formulate and implement correct lines and policies.

The conference profoundly summarized the historical experience and the new experience of reform and opening up, and pointed out that our society is already a socialist society, and we must persist in it and cannot leave socialism; my country's socialist society is still in its infancy.

We must proceed from this reality, and cannot go beyond this stage.

For the first time, the congress made a systematic explanation of the scientific connotation of the primary stage of socialism, which gave our party a big step forward in understanding the primary stage of socialism.

　　"The scientific judgment of the initial stage of socialism is a summary of the experience and lessons since the founding of New China. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, one of the fundamental reasons for the success of my country’s reform and opening up and socialist modernization is that everything must be socially based. The actual starting point of the initial stage of ism.” said Li Zhongjie, the former deputy director of the Party History Research Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

The lifeline of the country and the happiness of the people

——Proposed the party's basic line in the primary stage of socialism

　　In 1992, Deng Xiaoping pointed out during inspections in Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shanghai and other places: "The basic line must be managed for a hundred years and cannot be shaken. Only by adhering to this line will the people believe in you and support you."

　　The 13th National Congress of the Party put forward the party’s basic line in the primary stage of socialism: leading and uniting the people of all ethnic groups across the country, focusing on economic construction, adhering to the four basic principles, adhering to reform and opening up, self-reliance, and hard work in order to build our country. Strive to become a prosperous, democratic, and civilized modern socialist country.

In a nutshell, it means "one center, two basic points", that is, to take economic construction as the center, adhere to the four basic principles, and adhere to reform and opening up.

　　Fairy Lake Botanical Garden is located in the northeast suburb of Shenzhen.

In 1992, Deng Xiaoping planted a high mountain banyan here.

In 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Shenzhen Lianhuashan Park and planted a high mountain banyan.

These two alpine banyans are now tall and lush and full of vitality.

In 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China: “The basic line of the party is the lifeline of the country and the happiness line of the people. The principle as the foundation of the country and reform and opening up as the road to a strong country cannot be shaken in the slightest."

　　It is precisely by insisting on economic construction as the center, adhering to the four basic principles, and adhering to reform and opening up, that China has undergone earth-shaking changes, creating the "two miracles" of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and greatly improving the people's living standards. .

A grand blueprint for socialist modernization

——Develop a "three-step" development strategy

　　As the work center of the party and the country shifts to economic construction, formulating practical and feasible specific development strategies has become a major issue that needs to be solved urgently.

　　"After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the strategic deployment of China's economic construction has generally been divided into three steps. The first step is to double the GDP of 1980 and solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. This task It has been basically achieved. The second step is to double the GDP by the end of this century, and the people’s living standards will reach a well-off level. The third step is to reach the level of a moderately developed country with a per capita GDP by the middle of the next century. Life is relatively prosperous and modernization is basically achieved. Then, continue to advance on this basis." The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made plans for the grand goal of the Chinese nation for a hundred years and determined the "three-step" development strategy.

　　In different historical periods, our party has always put forward inspiring goals based on the wishes of the people and the needs of career development, and united and led the people to fight for them.

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that a well-off society with more developed economy, better democracy, more advanced science and education, more prosperous culture, more harmonious society, and more prosperous people’s lives will be built by the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party. When the People's Republic of China was founded 100 years ago, modernization was basically achieved, my country was built into a socialist modern country, and a two-stage strategic arrangement was made to achieve the goal of the second century of struggle.

　　"The "two-step" strategic arrangement in the new era has advanced the time for the basic realization of modernization by 15 years, and proposed the higher goal of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way. This is a historical continuation of the "three-step" development strategy. The strongest voice of the times that reflects the new requirements of the development of practice." said Zhang Zhanbin, dean of the School of Marxism at the Central Party School (National School of Administration).

　　Looking at China today, great historical achievements have been made in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and the battle against poverty has been fully victorious.

We must anchor the grand blueprint, insist that the green hills will not relax, and work from generation to generation, to build a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power in an all-round way, and to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
