Features: After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Deng Xiaoping, with fearless revolutionary spirit, rectified the chaos and firmly re-established the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts. He led the entire Party and the nation to achieve a great historical turn, opening a new historical period of reform and opening up and concentrating efforts on socialist modernization. Thanks to the guidance of Deng Xiaoping, an outstanding leader with profound political foresight, our Party and country not only emerged from the shadow of the "Cultural Revolution" but also avoided falling into new chaos and confusion. Instead, we successfully embarked on the path of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, a source of luck and pride for the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the ancient land of China has undergone earth-shaking changes. The reform and opening up initiated and designed by Deng Xiaoping, through continuous exploration and practice, have brought China remarkable achievements. The national economy has developed rapidly, comprehensive national strength has significantly grown, people's lives have visibly improved, the socialist market economy system has been preliminarily established, the overall framework of opening up to the outside world has taken shape, and great achievements have been made in various social undertakings. The original goal of achieving a moderately prosperous society has been largely realized. Looking across the vast land of China, there is a vibrant scene of economic development, political stability, ethnic unity, and social progress. With the tremendous success of reform and opening up, China's yesterday, today, and tomorrow have become a focal point of attention for people of different countries and skin colors. People yearn to understand China's great yet (twisting and turning) journey of reform and opening up, and even more so, they wish to learn about Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect, and his historic contributions to China's reform and opening up. Making more people understand our country's reform and opening up and more people understand Deng Xiaoping is precisely the original intention behind writing this book.
