Preface
History， in certain periods， always drives people to absorb wisdom and move forward.
The year of 1978 was such a particular time. That year， the third Plenary Session of the The CPC Central Committee marked the beginning of China's historical journey in reform and opening up.
Over the past 40 years， the Chinese people have bid farewell to the planned economy， gone through the stages in which basic demands of food and clothing were met and ushered in a moderately prosperous society. Over the years， under the CPC's leadership， the Chinese have been through thick and thin， overcome one difficulty after another and marched forward with brave and firm steps. An enlightening chapter of history has been written and a new life of and for the people created.
The greatness of the underlying cause lies not only in the grandeur of the objective， but also in that of the process. The beauty of life manifests not only in the richness of acquirement， but also the richness of experience. How many glorious scenes and memorable moments were there in this great change that profoundly transformed China and deeply affected the world?
