(Serial 2)
Deng Xiaoping on scientific development (1）
Emancipate the mind, use your brains, seek truth from facts, unite as one and look forward. The first step is to emancipate the mind. Only when our minds are emancipated can we correctly use Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought as guidance to solve the problems left over from the past, solve a series of new problems, correctly reform the production relations and superstructure that are incompatible with the rapid development of productive forces, and determine the specific paths, principles, methods and measures to realize the four modernizations based on the actual situation of our country.
Deng Xiaoping's "Emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, unite and look forward" (1978Year12month13日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume141page
Seeking truth from facts is the basis of the proletarian worldview and the ideological basis of Marxism. In the past, all the victories we achieved in the revolution were based on seeking truth from facts; now that we want to realize the four modernizations, we must also rely on seeking truth from facts. Not only the central committee, provincial committees, prefectural committees, county committees, and commune party committees, but also a factory, an agency, a w88 casino, a shop, and a production team must seek truth from facts, emancipate their minds, and use their brains to think about problems and do things.

In terms of economic policy, I believe that some regions, some enterprises, and some workers and farmers should be allowed to earn more and improve their lives first because of their hard work and great achievements. When the lives of some people get better first, they will inevitably have a great role model, influence their neighbors, and drive people in other regions and other units to learn from them. In this way, the entire national economy will continue to develop in waves and people of all ethnic groups in the country will become rich relatively quickly.
Of course, in the northwest, southwest and other regions, where production and people's lives are still very difficult, the state should provide help from all aspects, especially strong material support.
This is a big policy, a policy that can affect and drive the entire national economy. It is recommended that comrades seriously consider and study it.

What is our main task now and for a long period of history in the future? In a word, it is to engage in modernization. Whether we can realize the four modernizations or not determines the fate of our country and our nation. Under China's actual conditions, to carry out the four modernizations of socialism well means to adhere to Marxism and to hold high the great banner of Mao Zedong Thought. If you do not grasp the four modernizations and do not proceed from this reality, you will break away from Marxism and talk about Marxism in vain. Socialist modernization is our current biggest politics, because it represents the people's greatest interests and most fundamental interests.
Deng Xiaoping's "Adhere to the Four Basic Principles" (1979Year3month30日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume162-163page
In the past, democratic revolution had to be adapted to China’s conditions and follow the path pioneered by Comrade Mao Zedong of surrounding the cities from the countryside. Construction now must be adapted to China's conditions and follow a Chinese-style modernization path.
Deng Xiaoping's "Adhere to the Four Basic Principles" (1979Year3month30日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume163page
There are now more than 900 million people in the country, 80% of whom are farmers. There are advantages and disadvantages to having too many people. When production is not developed enough, food, education and employment all become serious problems. We must vigorously strengthen family planning work, but even if the population does not increase in a few years, the problem of large population will still exist for a while. We have a vast territory and abundant resources, which is our advantage. However, there are many resources that have not yet been clearly explored, exploited and used, so they are not yet realistic means of production. The land area is vast, but there is little arable land. There is little arable land and a large population, especially farmers. This situation is not easy to change. This has become something that must be considered in China’s modernization driveFeatures.
Deng Xiaoping's "Adhere to the Four Basic Principles" (1979Year3month30日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume164page
If we want to realize the four modernizations in China, we must adhere to the four basic principles ideologically and politically. This is the fundamental prerequisite for realizing the four modernizations. These four items are:
First, we must adhere to the socialist road;
Second, we must uphold the dictatorship of the proletariat;
Third, we must adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party;
Fourth, we must adhere to Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought.

Without democracy, there would be no socialism, and there would be no socialist modernization.

I agree that energy can be encouraged but not vented. But it must be emphasized that what we need is to encourage real efforts, not empty efforts. That is to say, our work must be solid and the results must be real. The so-called encouragement of real efforts and not false efforts, in scientific terms, means acting in accordance with objective laws. Economic work must be conducted in accordance with economic laws. There must be no fraud or empty slogans. There must be a set of scientific methods.
Deng Xiaoping's "Some Opinions on Economic Work" (1979Year10month4日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume196page
The core of the eight-character policy is adjustment. What is the adjustment for? I think it can be said that it is to create conditions so that during the adjustment process, especially after the adjustment, there can be a better and faster development speed. Recently, in terms of development speed, a question arises: whether the total industrial and agricultural output value will increase by 8% or 6% in the next two years. In my opinion, growth of 6% is okay, but it must be 6% without adding water, a solid 6%, and it doesn’t matter whether the growth rate in the past two years is higher or lower.“Cultural Revolution”22748_22890
Deng Xiaoping's "Some Opinions on Economic Work" (1979Year10month4日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume197-198page
The four modernizations we want to achieve are the four modernizations of Chinese style. Our concept of four modernizations is not a concept of modernization like yours, but“Well-off Home”. By the end of this century, even if China's four modernizations achieve certain goals, our per capita GDP will still be very low. It will take a lot of effort to reach the level of the wealthier countries in the third world, such as a per capita GDP of US$1,000. Even if it reaches that level, it is still lagging behind compared with the West. Therefore, I can only say that China will still be in a moderately prosperous state by then.
Deng Xiaoping's "China's goal in this century is to achieve moderate prosperity" (1979Year12month6日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume237page
Starting from the first year of the 1980s, we must not waste a single day and carry out the four modernizations with concentration and concentration. We have set the overall task of carrying out the four modernizations and will never allow any further distraction.
Deng Xiaoping's "Current Situation and Tasks" (1980Year1month16日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume241page
In the past thirty years, after several twists and turns, we have never shifted the focus of our work to socialist construction. Therefore, the advantages of socialism have been too little exerted. The development of social productive forces has been slow, unstable, and uncoordinated, and people's lives have not been greatly improved. ten years“Cultural Revolution”, it caused us great suffering and caused great disaster. Now we must make up our minds, except when a large-scale war breaks out, we must do this matter consistently and consistently, and everything must revolve around this matter without any interference. Even if a large-scale war breaks out, we will continue to fight or fight again after the war. We, the entire Party and the people, must firmly establish this ambition and never let it go.“Stubborn”One point, no wavering.
Deng Xiaoping's "Current Situation and Tasks" (1980Year1month16日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume249page
The task of modernization is multifaceted, and all aspects need to be comprehensively balanced and cannot be addressed individually. But in the end, economic construction must still be the centerpiece. Without the center of economic construction, there is a danger of losing the material foundation.
Deng Xiaoping's "Current Situation and Tasks" (1980Year1month16日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume250page
To carry out the four modernizations in China, we must work hard and honestly. We are poor, have a weak foundation, and are backward in education, science, and culture. This determines that we still have to go through a process of hard work.
Deng Xiaoping's "Current Situation and Tasks" (1980Year1month16日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume257page
When talking about socialism, we must first develop the productive forces. This is the main thing. Only in this way can the superiority of socialism be demonstrated. Whether socialist economic policies are right or not ultimately depends on whether productivity develops and people's income increases. This is the overriding standard.
Deng Xiaoping's "Socialism must first develop productive forces" (1980Year5month5日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume314page
Agricultural mechanization must be pursued, and the remaining labor force must be transferred to other industries. You can engage in diversified operations, such as forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, and fishing. You can also engage in farmland infrastructure and large-scale water conservancy projects. We now have the problem of surplus labor in cities, and we need to open up various ways to expand employment.

The extremely arduous and complex tasks of socialist modernization are before us. Many old problems need to continue to be solved, and new problems are emerging one after another. Only by relying closely on the masses, keeping close contact with the masses, listening to the voices of the masses at any time, understanding the mood of the masses, and representing the interests of the masses can the party form a strong force and successfully complete its various tasks.

The socialist country we want to build must not only have a high degree of material civilization, but also a high degree of spiritual civilization. The so-called spiritual civilization refers not only to education, science, and culture (which is completely necessary), but also to communist ideas, ideals, beliefs, morality, discipline, revolutionary positions and principles, comradely relationships between people, etc.
Deng Xiaoping's "Implementing Adjustment Policies and Ensuring Stability and Unity" (1980Year12month25日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.2Volume367page
Our modernization drive must proceed from China’s reality. Whether it is revolution or construction, we must pay attention to learning and drawing on foreign experience. However, copying other countries’ experiences and models will never lead to success. We have learned many lessons in this regard. Integrating the universal truth of Marxism with the specific reality of our country, following our own path, and building socialism with Chinese characteristics are the basic conclusions we have drawn from summarizing our long-term historical experience.

Deng Xiaoping's "Concentrate on Construction" (1982Year9month18日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume9page
Compared with capitalism, the superiority of socialism lies in its ability to play a game of chess across the country, concentrate its efforts, and ensure key points. The shortcoming is that the market is not used well and the economy is not active. How to solve the relationship between planning and market? If it is solved well, it will be very beneficial to economic development; if it is not solved well, it will be bad.

Our entire economic development strategy focuses on energy and transportation, as well as agriculture. The development of agriculture relies on policy and science. The development and role of science and technology are endless.

In a socialist country, after a true Marxist party takes power, it must be committed to developing productive forces and gradually improve the people's living standards on this basis. This is the construction of material civilization. For a long time in the past, we have neglected to develop productivity, so now we must pay special attention to building material civilization. At the same time, we must also build socialist spiritual civilization. The most fundamental thing is to enable the broad masses of the people to have communist ideals, be moral, educated, and disciplined.

The most fundamental task of the socialist stage is to develop productive forces. In the final analysis, the superiority of socialism is reflected in the fact that its productive forces develop faster and higher than capitalism, and it continuously improves the people's material and cultural life on the basis of developing productive forces.
Deng Xiaoping's "Building Socialism with Chinese Characteristics"(1984Year 6Month 30日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume63page
Thirty years of experience and lessons tell us that it is impossible to engage in construction behind closed doors and cannot develop. There are two types of closed doors, one is to foreign countries; the other is to close the door, that is, one region to another region, one department to another department. Neither type of closing works. We propose to develop faster. Too fast is unrealistic. We need to develop as fast as possible. This requires invigorating the economy internally and implementing an open policy externally.
Deng Xiaoping's "Building Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" (1984Year6month30日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume64-65page
Eighty percent of China’s population is in rural areas. Whether China's society is stable and whether China's economy can develop depends first on whether the countryside can develop and whether farmers' lives get better. Quadrupling, what is very important is whether this 80% of the population can be reached.
Deng Xiaoping's "Our Grand Goals and Fundamental Policies"(1984Year 10Month 6日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume77-78page
Experience has proven that construction cannot succeed with closed doors, and China’s development cannot be separated from the world. Of course, a country as big as China can't carry out construction without relying on itself, but mainly on itself. This is called self-reliance.
Deng Xiaoping's "Our Grand Goals and Fundamental Policies"(1984Year 10Month 6日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume78page
Economic development is the foundation, and work will be easy on this basis. What would the political situation be like if it quadrupled? I think true stability and unity are certain. As the country's power becomes truly stronger, China's international influence will be greatly different. So work hard and work hard. From now to two○○○There are still sixteen years left, so work hard and work wholeheartedly.
Another important significance of quadrupling is that it is a new starting point. It will take another thirty to fifty years to approach the level of economically developed countries. It’s not about the system, it’s about production and living standards. This is possible, something that can be seen and touched.
Deng Xiaoping's "Speech at the Third Plenary Session of the Central Advisory Committee"(1984Year 10Month 22日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume89page
What is needed now is for the party, government, military and civilians across the country to wholeheartedly obey the overall situation of national construction and take care of this overall situation. On this issue, our military has its own responsibilities. It must not hinder this overall situation, but must closely cooperate with this overall situation, and must act under this overall situation. All aspects of the military are related to national construction, and they must consider how to support and actively participate in national construction.

Our policy is to be bold and steady, take one step and see the other. Our policy is unswerving and will not waver. We must continue to work on it. The important thing is to sum up experience after a period of progress.

The strength of our country’s national strength and the potential for economic development increasingly depend on the quality of workers and the quantity and quality of intellectuals. A big country with a population of one billion has improved its education and has a huge advantage in human resources that no other country can match. With the advantage of talents and the advanced socialist system, our goal can be achieved with certainty.

China's development is the development of forces for peace and the development of forces that restrict war. Now it is very important to establish the image that we are a force for peace and a force that restrains war. We actually have to play this role.

In pursuing socialism, the central task is to develop social productive forces. We will adopt all methods that are conducive to the development of social productivity, including the use of foreign capital and the introduction of advanced technology. This is a big experiment that is not in the books.
Deng Xiaoping's "Reform and Opening Up is a Big Experiment"(1985Year 6Month 29日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume130page
We must act according to the laws of value and economic laws. If done well, it is possible to lay the foundation for sustained, stable and coordinated development in the next fifty to seventy years. Carrying out comprehensive economic system reform requires courage, boldness, and steady steps. This is the most overwhelming and arduous task for our party and country at the moment.

If the speed is too high, it will cause many problems and have a negative impact on reform and social atmosphere. It is better to be cautious. We must control the scale of investment in fixed assets and not expand the scope of infrastructure construction. We must first do a good job in management and quality, and pay attention to economic benefits and overall social benefits. Only at this speed can we achieve success.
Deng Xiaoping's "Speech at the National Conference of the Communist Party of China"(1985Year 9Month 23日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume143page
It is now clear that implementing the policy of opening up to the outside world, integrating the planned economy with the market economy, and carrying out a series of institutional reforms is the right approach. Does this violate the principles of socialism? No. Because we adhere to two principles in the reform, one is that the public-owned economy always plays a dominant role, and the other is that economic development must take the path of common prosperity and always avoid polarization.
Deng Xiaoping "There is no fundamental contradiction between socialism and market economy"(1985Year 10Month 23日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume149page
Our country’s current overriding task is to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the construction of the four modernizations. We give full play to the inherent characteristics of socialism and also adopt some methods of capitalism (used as methods), with the purpose of accelerating the development of productive forces. There have been some negative things in this process, but more importantly, these reforms and this path have brought us gratifying results. If China does not take this path, there will be no other way to go. This is the only way to wealth and prosperity.

To carry out the four modernizations, we must have two hands, only one hand is not enough. The so-called two hands means that one hand is focused on construction and the other hand is focused on the legal system.
Deng Xiaoping's "Speech at the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee"(1986Year 1Month 17日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume154page
We have achieved quite a lot in economic construction and the situation is gratifying. This is the success of our country. But if the atmosphere continues to deteriorate, what’s the point of economic success? On the other hand, it will deteriorate, which in turn will affect the deterioration of the entire economy. If it continues to develop, it will form a world where corruption, theft, and bribery are rampant. Therefore, we must talk about the four persistences and the dictatorship. This dictatorship can ensure the smooth progress of our socialist modernization construction and effectively deal with those people and things that undermine the construction.
Deng Xiaoping's "Speech at the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee"(1986Year 1Month 17日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume154page
Education is the most fundamental undertaking of a nation. The realization of the construction of the four modernizations depends on knowledge and talents. Policy mistakes are easy to correct, but knowledge cannot be obtained immediately, and talents cannot be cultivated in a day or two. This requires education, starting from childhood.

As long as the policy of opening up and invigorating continues, we will have to work on correcting the party's style, correcting unhealthy tendencies and cracking down on criminal activities as long as it lasts. This is a long-term task that must run through the entire reform process. Only in this way can we ensure the correct implementation of our policy of opening up and invigorating.

My consistent position is to let some people and some regions get rich first. The general principle is common prosperity. If some areas develop faster, most areas will be driven. This is the key to accelerating development and achieving common prosperityShortcut.
Deng Xiaoping's "Conversations During Inspection of Tianjin"(1986Year 8Month 19日—21日), "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping" No.3Volume166page
The wealth of socialism belongs to the people, and the prosperity of socialism is the common prosperity of all people. The principles of socialism are, first, to develop production, and second, to achieve common prosperity. We allow some people and some areas to get better first, with the goal of achieving common prosperity faster. Because of this, our policy is not to polarize society, that is, not to cause the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.

When we propose reforms, we include political system reforms. Now every step forward in the reform of the economic system, we are deeply aware of the necessity of reform of the political system. If the political system is not reformed, the results of the economic system reform cannot be guaranteed. If the economic system reform cannot continue to advance, it will hinder the development of productive forces and the realization of the four modernizations.

We have always advocated ideals, morality, culture, and discipline, the most important of which are ideals and discipline. The ideal is socialist modernization. Many people only talk about modernization and forget that the modernization we are talking about is socialist modernization.

When we evaluate whether a country's political system, political structure and policies are correct, there are three key things to look at: first, whether the country's political situation is stable; second, whether it can enhance people's unity and improve people's lives; third, whether productivity can be sustainably developed.

China’s pursuit of socialism emphasizes having Chinese characteristics. We firmly believe in Marxism, but Marxism must be combined with China's reality. Only Marxism combined with China's reality is the real Marxism we need. It is based on this idea that we strive to achieve our development goals.

Eighty percent of our country’s population are farmers. If farmers are not motivated, the country cannot develop. Eight years ago we proposed the policy of opening up rural areas, and this policy was very successful. Farmers' enthusiasm has increased, agricultural products have increased significantly, and a large number of agricultural laborers have transferred to emerging towns and emerging small and medium-sized enterprises. This is probably the only way to go.
