30年30人(英文版)[30ReflectionsofChina's30YearsofReform]
内容简介
The ancients said: "Thirty years is one generation; predestined kings only succeed after thirty years through a benevolent reign." It is right to ex- pound the glorious course of China' s 30 years of reforms and opening-up. We believe that the best way to com- prehend a period of history is to pro- vide a record of the lives of various people in this period. To keep these memories alive, on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the re- forms and opening-up, we have com- piled and published this book which truly and visually reflects the trans- formation of China' s society over the past 30 years.
It is said that the profound changes to Chinese society resulting from China's economic development dur- ing the past 30 years have exceeded those throughout the previous several thousand years. This remark is very interesting. Maybe it is improper to oversimplify the differences between periods of history, but the experiences acquired and accomplishments made in our successful transformation from the socialist planned economic system to the market economic system are evidently unparalleled. In fact, it is a constituent part of history. So long as we continue to be blessed with a broad vision, an open mindset and the entre- preneurial sprit of the past 30 years, China will amaze the world by creat- ing even more miracles during the next 30 years. Despite hardships, we will remain true to our beliefs.
