Foreword
President Xi Jinping pointed out in his keynote speech at Boao Forum for Asia 2018 annual conference: “in 1978, advocated by Mr. Deng Xiaoping, China started its historical journey of reform and opening up, with the Third Plenum of the 11th CPC Central Committee as the symbol. From countryside to cities, from pilots to wide application, and from economic system reform to deepening reform in an all-round way, with 40 years of united efforts and 40 years of hard work, the Chinese people have written a magnificent epic of national development with their hands.” In the 40 years of reform and opening up, China has achieved important historical leaps in the process of economic modernization: thehistoric leap from the initial period of industrialization to the late period of industrialization, the historic transition from  a closed and semi-closed status to all-round opening; and the historic rising from a society of shortage economy to the new era of consumption. In the past 40 years, an important reason for the historic achievements in China’s economic and social development is the continuous development and improvement of the socialist market economic system, with themain line as properly handling the relationship between the government and the market. In keeping with the trend of development of the times, we explored a successful path to building socialism with Chinese characteristics and established a socialist market economic system full of vitality. The reform and opening up, as the second revolution in China, has not only profoundly changed China, but also deeply influenced the world.From the 18th to the 19th National Congress of the CPC, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Xi Jinping as its core, we pushed forward reform and opening up in an all-round way. Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech at the conference in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Hainan Province as a special economic zone that, “at present, reform has come to a new pass in history, and the complexity, sensitivity and arduousness to push forward reform is no less than that 40 years ago. There is no way out to follow the beaten track, and hanging back will only let slip golden opportunities. Reform and opening up is a process of emancipating the mind. No big breakthrough can be made in reform without emancipation of the mind.” In this great background, our purpose of celebrating the 40thanniversary of reform and opening up is to carry on the reform through to the end.In 2012, China Institute for Reform and Development and China Intercontinental Press cooperated to publish Panorama Of Reform And Opening-up In China:1978—2012, and issued it worldwide in English version, receiving extensive good appraisal from readers both at home and overseas. At the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up,we present to you the new achievements in the reform and opening up and the new look of the economic and social development of China since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, to put together again the vivid records of the 40 years of reform and opening up in China, as a gift to the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up.This book, in the form of chronicle, takes the grand and arduous process of reform and opening up in China as the main line, objectively records the major events in the economy and society of China during the period of reform and opening up, and intuitively presents the tremendous changes in all areas of the Chinese society over the past 40 years, to enable readers to get a fairly objective and complete picture of reform and opening up process in China by reading this book.The compilation of this book was organized by the team of China Institute for Reform and Development, with Chi Fulin as the editor-in-chief, Zhang Juan and Chen Wei as deputy editors-in-chief, and Chen Suohua, Wang Fei, Jin Liren and Fan Min participating in the relevant work of preparation, editing and proof-reading. As the editor-in-chief of this book, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the colleagues who have made hard efforts for this book, and to China Intercontinental Press for its great support and hard work for the publication of this book!The panoramic record of 40 years of reform and opening up involves all aspects, and in the compilation of this book, large amount of relevant documentation was referenced, which cannot be listed one by one in the book, and we would like to express our thanks here to all.
