He reportedWhen he was a child, Deng Gong was full of emotion
In 1978, the deputy prime minister returned from an inspection tour of Western Europe, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was surrounded by ** and asked how he felt. ** The deputy prime minister said with emotion: "This trip to Western Europe has opened my eyes, we used to think that Western countries are backward and corrupt, but in fact, the mechanized equipment, modern factories and high-tech schools there have allowed me to see their developed scene, we cannot continue to lag behind, we must speed up the pace of catching up." ”
* The group's trip to Western Europe completely upended their perception of Western countries.
At a Politburo meeting, ** excitedly reported to ** leaders: "A coal mine in Germany has an annual output of 50 million tons and only 2,000 employees, while China needs 80,000 people to produce 50 million tons of coal."
A steel mill in France has an annual output of 3.5 million tons and only 7,000 employees, while China's Wuhan Iron and Steel has an annual output of 2.3 million tons and needs 670,000 people. This shows that there is a huge gap between China and the developed countries of Western Europe, and it is at least 20 years behind as a whole.
If we don't take action, the gap will only widen. Hearing the report of **, the senior management was shocked, and they were silent for a while. In the end, Deng Gong broke the silence: "I was deeply shocked by Comrade *'s report, there are really people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky.
It seems that it is time to open the country to the outside world! A few months later, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held, the spring breeze of reform was full of spring breeze, special economic zones were established one by one, and China began to embark on the road to take-off.
The trip to Western Europe opened his eyes. In 1978, in Beijing, **Vice Premier** knocked on the door. "Comrade Xiaoping, are you looking for me? ”
* is a member of the Communist Party of China, former vice premier, responsible for economic construction. At one point, he was approached and asked what he thought of Western countries. To put it firmly, he believes that Western countries are rotten capitalism that will only make them fall further and further behind.
However, he believes that Western societies should be seen with their own eyes to truly understand them. Therefore, he suggested organizing an expedition to Western Europe, headed by **.
In May 1978, the delegation departed from Beijing and flew to France. As soon as I got off the plane, I was shocked by the sight in front of me. He saw new cars and skyscrapers, machine factories and digital workshops, as if he had arrived in a futuristic world.
After returning to the hotel, ** tossed and turned in bed and stayed up all night. He realized that the knowledge of Soviet political economy that he had previously learned was outdated, and he needed to learn something new to understand the world.
Immediately after the trip to France, the delegation moved on to its next destination: Germany. There, they produced a documentary by Ambassador Zhang Tong to Germany, about how after the defeat of the war, it took Germany 20 years to transform from ruins to cities.
* Deeply inspired, he recognizes that there is a big gap between China and the West, and he needs to study and work hard so that China can catch up and surpass the West.
Unbelievable! The Germans have changed so much in just twenty years that it is nothing short of earth-shattering. " "Before we left China, we all heard that Western countries were in decline, but looking at Germany now, it was really emotional. "
On the banks of the Rhine, Germany proudly stood in front of the delegation and said:"Although the Rhine is only one-third the length of the Yangtze River, it transports six times as much as the Yangtze River.
Look at how industrious the Rhine is! "**Deeply deploring, he said:"This situation is not because the Yangtze River is not diligent enough, but because our managers are not doing their jobs well enough.
This trip to Western Europe made me deeply realize that there are people outside the human world, and there is a sky outside the sky. "After leaving Germany, the delegation continued to visit Switzerland, Denmark and Belgium, where it was warmly received.
At the royal palace dinner of the King of Belgium and the Queen of Denmark, representatives from all walks of life attended the banquet, scrambling to engage with the Chinese delegation. After meeting again and again, I realized that China needs the world, and the world also needs China.
Within a month, the delegation visited 25 cities, more than 80 factories, mines, ports and universities, etc., and their trip to Western Europe broadened their horizons.
On the plane back home, ** only brought a box of chocolates to his family as a gift, but what he brought to the country was unlimited wealth. On June 6, 1978, the delegation flew back to Beijing and immediately began to sort out his report.
Ten days later, the Politburo meeting, ** reported on the trip to Western Europe: I saw the development of Western Europe, their mechanized equipment, automated factories, high-tech schools, as if it were the world of the future.
I was shocked when I saw their level of productivity, their coverage of the transportation network, their investment in science and technology, their investment in education, and the degree of mechanization of their agriculture. The gap between them and China is mainly in these aspects: First, industrial modernization, and their productivity level is very high.
The second is the transportation industry, whose transportation network covers a wide range and has high transportation efficiency. Third, in terms of science and technology education, they have invested heavily in scientific research and generally have a high level of education.
Fourth, in agriculture, the degree of agricultural mechanization is generally high. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a huge gap between China and the developed countries in the West, and it is at least 20 years behind as a whole.
If no more is done, the gap will only widen. "
* Comrade's inspection report, I think everyone has already heard it. I was deeply shocked by this trip to Western Europe! In the past, I always felt that the gap between me and the West was not so big, but now it seems that the difference is not a little bit!
It's not terrible to have a gap, it's terrible to be complacent and not want to forge ahead. If we don't take action, the gap will only get bigger and bigger, and we will be left far behind!
It seems that it is time to open the country to the outside world! In December 1978, Beijing, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee was held. "The focus of work should be shifted to socialist modernization and reform and opening up.
Reform and opening up must be done, and it must be done well! If you keep yourself locked in your home, you won't go out of the door, and you will only be thrown farther and farther away by countries around the world! Emancipate the mind, seek truth from facts, unite and look forward! ”
Since then, the spring breeze of reform has begun to blow, and all parts of the country have flourished and a new atmosphere. Soon after, the chairman of the Bank of France flew to Beijing, and Japanese economists came to China to share their experiencesBatches of foreign-funded loans, joint ventures have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
At the same time, Deng Gong knew that the country's prosperity and strength could not be ignored by others, which was no different from Handan toddlers. He began to promote China's development in high-tech, artificial intelligence and other fields, with a view to achieving true independent innovation development.
For China to rise and become rich, it needs to find a unique path. Stand in front of the map and think. **Knocking on the door, Deng Gong confidently asked: "I plan to set up a special economic zone here, what do you think?" ”
* Answer: "China's economic construction is still in the exploratory stage, and the establishment of special economic zones may find a smooth road for us." * agreed, and let ** take care of the matter.
* Traveled to Guangdong and Fujian to investigate and develop a blueprint for the SEZ. At work, Shekou and Shenzhen disagreed. Shekou wants to vigorously carry out economic construction, but Shenzhen does not agree.
After learning of this, ** asked the two parties to sit down, and emphasized that "this is the decision of **, neither the decision of Shekou nor the decision of Shenzhen." Secretary Liang, you should go to Beijing and report directly to ***.
Your reply is only one sentence: unconditionally support Shekou's economic construction. ”
I hope that this will be the end of the matter and that we will work together to fight a bloody road. Shenzhen and Shekou, do you still have anything to say? "Shenzhen has nothing to say. "Shekou has something to say!
Thanks to the support of ***, Shekou will definitely live up to expectations and strive to be a national example! "The SEZ was established in the midst of the controversy, and it took 10 years to lay a solid foundation for the SEZ.
Now, the reform and opening up has lasted for nearly 45 years, and China's total GDP has exceeded 120 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world, which has made all countries in the world admire it.
But the second largest economy is not our ultimate goal......Conclusion: The trip to Western Europe broadened my horizons and the presentation promoted openness. The spring breeze of reform is blowing all over the country, and the rise of China stands in the east.
The trip to Western Europe was like a key, opening a new world, so that the leaders were shocked and determined to open up. Over the past 40 years, the spring breeze of reform has blown all over the country, and the Chinese nation has embarked on the road to rise.
Dear readers, new era, new challenges, let us work together and make progress together!
