Who would have thought that 29 years ago, hundreds of millions of people in China were still worried about food and clothing, and now the lives of more than 654.38+300 million people have generally reached a well-off life; Who would have thought that 29 years ago, owning watches, bicycles and sewing machines was the pursuit of many people. Now the new "three big pieces" have been upgraded several times, and computers, cars and commercial houses have long been the dreams of more and more people. What changed our lives? What drove China to take off? In the final analysis, we should stick to the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

In these 29 years, a magnificent historical picture was painted on the land of China, and a magnificent movement was played.

It was Socialism with Chinese characteristics who profoundly changed the face of China. Since the reform and opening up 29 years ago, China's social productive forces have been greatly liberated and developed, and China's economy has maintained an average annual growth rate of 9.7%. In 2006, the gross domestic product reached a big step of 20 trillion yuan, which was 1978 13.3 times after deducting the price factor. The fiscal revenue is close to 4 trillion yuan, the output of a large number of important industrial and agricultural products ranks first in the world, and the national economic strength and comprehensive national strength have been greatly enhanced. We have done many things that we wanted to do but couldn't do before: the Three Gorges Dam, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the West-East Gas Transmission Project, the West-East Power Transmission Project, the South-to-North Water Transfer Project and other major projects have been reported frequently, radio and television have covered the vast rural areas, infrastructure such as airports, ports and highways have been improved day by day, and the good situation of coordinated development between regions and between urban and rural areas has changed with each passing day ... The land of China is changing with each passing day.

Over the past 29 years, we have unswervingly carried out reform and opening up, from rural reform to urban reform, from state-owned enterprises reform to macro-management system reform, from ownership structure reform to distribution system reform, from establishing the goal of socialist market economic system reform to deepening in practice, from economic reform to political, cultural and social reform, and have made substantial progress, which has injected new vitality into national development. The level of opening to the outside world has been continuously improved. In 2006, the total import and export volume reached US$ 65.438+076.07 billion, an increase of 84 times over 654.38+0978. Twenty-nine years ago, China's foreign exchange reserves were only US$ 65.438+67 billion, and in 2006 it exceeded US$ 654.38+0 trillion, ranking first in the world. At the same time, the pace of "going out" of China enterprises has been accelerated, and their foreign investment has been expanding.

It is socialism with China characteristics that has greatly improved the civilization of China society. Over the past 29 years, the construction of democracy and legal system has been continuously strengthened, a socialist legal system has taken shape, and the rule of law and the construction of a socialist country ruled by law have been further promoted; "Science and technology are the primary productive forces" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and a large number of major scientific and technological achievements, represented by shenzhou spaceship, emerge one after another, achieving breakthroughs in many frontier fields; Remarkable achievements have been made in educational reform and development.

The construction of spiritual civilization has been continuously strengthened, the reform of cultural system has set sail, and cultural undertakings and industries have become increasingly prosperous. People's mental outlook has undergone profound changes, and their awareness of competition, innovation and efficiency has been continuously enhanced. Our society has never been so full of vitality and creativity as it is today.

It is socialism with China characteristics that has greatly improved the living standards of the people in China. Over the past 29 years, people have personally felt the happy life brought by the party's policy of enriching the people and shared the fruits of reform and development. From 1978 to 2006, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in China increased from 343 yuan to 1 1759 yuan, and the per capita net income of farmers increased from 134 yuan to 3587 yuan, with an average annual increase of 6.7% after deducting the price factor. The per capita housing area of urban and rural residents has increased from 6.7 square meters and 8. 1 square meter to 26. 1 square meter and 29.7 square meters respectively, and the living conditions have been greatly improved. We bid farewell to the shortage of goods, threw away all kinds of tickets, and the consumption structure has been continuously upgraded, achieving a historic leap from food and clothing to a well-off society. At the same time, the "safety net" of social security has become wider and wider, and people's livelihood issues such as medical care and employment have been gradually solved, and more people have relieved their worries.

Fame comes from achievement, and charm comes from strength. With the development of China, the development path, experience and mode with China characteristics have aroused the interest of many people in the world. More and more people look to China, and more and more topics focus on China. We adhere to the correct foreign policy, conduct extensive bilateral and multilateral diplomacy and play an increasingly important role in international affairs. From promoting the six-party meeting on the Korean nuclear issue to actively helping the tsunami-affected countries in the Indian Ocean, from participating in international peacekeeping operations to promoting international exchanges and cooperation in the fields of counter-terrorism, environmental protection, drug control and major disease prevention ... China has shown the image of a responsible big country to the international community.

In the past 29 years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in China. Facts have eloquently proved that the fundamental reason why we have made such great achievements in the past 29 years is that our party has United and led the people to open up a correct road for Socialism with Chinese characteristics. In contemporary China, taking the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is in line with China's national conditions, the party's heart and the people's hearts, and can stimulate the great enthusiasm and enthusiasm of hundreds of millions of people to build their own better life.
