The Realization Of A Great Historical Turning Point

The held of the Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of CPC in December. 1978 is judged to be one of the most important events in the history of Chinese Communist. This session took a new turn to the course of historical development: put an end to the immature period in our party's research of the socialism since 1956. while provided a new stage to the opening-up and socialist modernization. At the meeting celebrating the 30th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up President Hu Jintao said that: the held of Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of CPC marked a significant turning point since the founding of New China, and started a new historical period of China's reform and opening-up. Hence, led by the CPC people of all ethnic groups started a new revolution in the new historical background. The Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of CPC opened at the historical time which decided the future of our Party and our country. After breaking the "Four Gangsters" in October. 1976, the people and the officers strongly demanded to put the wrongs of the "Cultural Revolution" right, completely saving the severe situation made by the "Cultural Revolution" in the past ten years, and made the CPC and our country prosperous and strong. However, this action, which was accorded with the timely demands, met with hard barriers and in fulfillment of this task, the CPC and country hesitated to continue to make this out. In the meantime, the world economy developed rapidly; also the progress of science and technology marched day by day, while the construction of our country was still awaited to develop and the discussion about the standard of the truth was beginning at the same time. The great trend at home and abroad called the CPC to make the political decision and strategies which concerned the future of our Party and country.Why China can extricate from the influence of "Cultural Revolution" only in two years, meanwhile explore and identify a suitable socialist construction road which adapt to the Chinese circumstance? If we review and straighten out our thinking on the historical facts of that period of time, and it is not difficult to get the fact that the significant turning point took by the Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of CPC was based on the preparations at that time. Just like Deng Xiaoping said: "We did a lot of works at first two years of the next three years after breaking the "Four Gangsters", and it is impossible to establish the Party's ideological line and political line in the Third Session without those two years' preparations. And we can say that the first two years is in preparation for the Third Session." So. what the preparatory works the Party had down for the opening of the Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of CPC during those two years? What the difficulties the Party had met in the progress of preparation? How the Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of CPC marked a significant turning point in that moment? Those questions are the main problems that will be discussed in this paper. The passage contains five chaptersChapter I . Introduction. From the analyses of the background of the Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the CPC this chapter investigates the present situation at home and abroad while poses the questions of the research, and concludes the hot points, the specialties and the shortcomings of the research. Then it illustrates the choices of the data and methods of the research. It also explains the relationship between the historical significance and the present meaning.Chapter II: The prelude of the historical transition—the rectification in 1975. In the ninth year of the development in the "Cultural Revolution". In the year 1975. Mr. Deng returned to the central government and posed the policy of the complete rearrangement, which gave the hope to the whole country. However, due to death of Mr. Zhou the Premiere of the Country, and also with the TianAnMen Incident on April, the fifth. Mr. Deng was overthrown mistakenly once more by the "Four Gangsters". In 1975, the achievement and the setbacks of that transition were prepared for the crash of the "Four Gangsters"' and the movement of "April the fifth" in sprit and in materiality. It also was the experiment of the reforms in the following and the research of the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It was the ferment and the beginning of Den Xiaoping Theory. In order to mend the mistakes made by "the Cultural Revolution"' in new stage, this transition also prepared for the reform and the complete rearrangement in guide lines.ChapterIII: The two years of "hesitation" is also prepared for the realization of the Great Turning. The two years of "hesitation" was a relatively special stage in new China history, which linked the end of "Cultural Revolution" in the past ten years, and also tied with the beginning of the Reform and Opening-up Policy. These two years gave the preparatory work of the fulfillment of the Great Turning.ChapterIV: The confinement of realization of the historical "Turning". It was not a smooth way in the process of the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which should conclude the lessons in the history and find the way to fit the current situation of China after the clash of the "Four Gangsters". At that time our country had experienced the maintenance of the "Left" in guide line, and the harm made by the "Two Any"(this is quoted from Chairman Mao, which any decisions made by him we should follow eventually and any instructions made by him we should support forever) and the Soviet Union Mode.ChapterV: The opening of the Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of CPC and the fulfillment of the historical "Great Turning" Before the opening, the central committee had opened the meeting of the central work for 36 days, in which the original topic of Mr. Hua Guofeng was the discussion of the economic issues, but the speech made by Mr. ChenYun changed the course of the meeting. Through the hard struggle between the participants, on the meeting, the TianAnMen Incident had been regarded as the patriotic incident. Mr. Hua and Mr. Wang had to confess that the "Two Any" was wrong. In the conclusion speech. Mr. Deng made a speech called Celebrating the thought, seeking truth from facts. United together for the future, in the following, it became the topic report in Third Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of CPC. This meeting held very important historical significance and the present meaning.Conclusion: After the clash of the "Four Gangsters", the history had endowed the CPC two main missions; one is to sum the lessons from history, to classify the right and the wrong, to check the mistakes in the "Cultural Revolution", concluding the mistakes made by Chairman Mao in his old age. The other is to establish the new mission, to start a new beginning, that is to say. seeking the direction, the starting pointing, the concrete way of the development of China. After we have concluded the issues above, we could get the useful inspiration from that.
