　　In Shenzhen, there are two special trees, one is a mountain banyan and the other is a mountain banyan.

　　In January 1992, Deng Xiaoping, the chief designer of China's reform and opening up, planted a high mountain banyan in Shenzhen Fairy Lake Botanical Garden during his inspection tour.

At that time, Shenzhen had become an experimental field for reform and opening up for more than ten years. Deng Xiaoping's message to Shenzhen "Boldly try, boldly enter" and "Go faster" was inspiring.

　　In December 2012, Xi Jinping, who had just been elected as General Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee, left Beijing for the first time and planted a high mountain banyan in Shenzhen Lianhuashan Park.

The scene of Xi Jinping presenting a flower basket to the bronze statue of Deng Xiaoping was spread to the world along with his announcement that "reform will not stop and opening will not stop."

　　The two alpine banyans are a series of stories of reforms from different years in China. They are the intersection of history and the continuation of reforms.

　　"Reform and opening up are the key to determining the fate of contemporary China." Without reform and opening up, there would be no modernized China today, nor would there be today's confident eastern face.

Western media believe that China's reform and opening up is a "epoch-making great legend", "not only fundamentally changed the once poor and backward countries, but also completely changed the spiritual outlook of the Chinese people."

　　"The branches are lush, vigorous and upright, shade future generations, and benefit one party" is Xi Jinping's summary of the banyan spirit, and it also expresses the vitality and original intention of China's reform.

　　In the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1978, Deng Xiaoping pressed the start button of reform and opening up. The focus of the work of the party and the state was shifted to economic construction. It was clear that "poverty is not socialism" and "we must catch up with the times. the goal of".

Promoting rural reforms, establishing township and village enterprises, establishing special economic zones, introducing foreign capital, and encouraging the development of a market economy... China has ushered in the spring of reform and development, and has taken an important step toward the world.

　　Since then, the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China established the goal of reforming the socialist market economic system; under major tests such as SARS, the Wenchuan earthquake, and the international financial crisis, China has persisted in “unshakable, unslacking, and tossing” and promoted scientific development. ,Building a harmonious society……

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CCP has further demonstrated its ambition to "carry the reform to the end."

In 2013, the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee revealed the “general goal” and “general road map” for comprehensively deepening reforms, and then a special reform institution was established at the highest level of the central government. Xi Jinping personally took command.

He emphasized that “we will not miss the opportunity to advance major overall reforms”, and paid particular attention to “further touching on the adjustment of the deep-level interest structure and the reform of the institutional system”.

　　In 2018, at the node of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, the Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China once again initiated the reform of party and state institutions, providing institutional support and guarantee for comprehensively deepening reforms.

This "self-revolution" was unprecedented in its scale, scope, and depth of interest, and it was evaluated by overseas public opinion as an "unprecedented and profound change."

　　From the opening of the reform curtain to the continuous advancement of reforms, in the past 40 years, reforms have made China, and China has continued to extend the possibilities of reforms: from "crossing the river by feeling the stones" to focusing on the combination of pilot practice and top-level design, From "breaking a bloody road" to focusing on major institutional innovations, from "not arguing" and "buying time for work" to focusing on building consensus on reforms and forming a joint force for reform... The wisdom and experience of the CCP's reforms have continued to grow, and it has also shown the world a new kind of innovation. Possible.

　　"Through thousands of mountains and rivers, but still need to travel through mountains and rivers", as the Chinese Communist Party has led the country into a new stage of development for a century, "reform has reached a new juncture."
