Deng Xiaoping (June 30, 1984)
　After crushing the "Gang of Four", we formulated correct ideological lines, political lines, organizational lines and a series of policies and policies starting from the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. What is the ideological line?

People raise the question: If China does not engage in socialism but takes the capitalist path, can the Chinese people stand up and can China turn over? Let's take a look at history.

What is socialism and what is Marxism? Our past understanding of this issue was not completely clear.

When China is now backward, what path can it take to develop productivity and improve people's lives? This brings us back to the question of whether to adhere to socialism or take the capitalist path.

Our political line is to focus on the four modernization construction, adhere to the development of productivity, and always stick to this fundamental link and not relax unless a world war breaks out. Even if we fight a world war, we will still carry out construction after the battle.

The world is now an open world. One important reason why China has become backward after the industrial revolution in Western countries is that it is self-discipline.

From China's reality, we first solve rural problems. Eighty percent of China's population lives in rural areas. The first thing to do is to do is to do is to do this 80 percent of the population.

We have opened fourteen coastal cities, all of which are large and medium-sized cities. We welcome foreign capital and advanced foreign technology, and management is also a kind of technology.

If you talk about conception, this is our conception. We also need to accumulate new experience, encounter new problems, and then propose new solutions.
