The third historic change is: reform and opening up. The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee re-established the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, shifted the focus of China's work to economic construction, and implemented the great decision of reform and opening up. Under the leadership of such decision-making, the whole country has begun internal reform and opening up. In rural areas, the people's commune system with serious egalitarianism and low enthusiasm of farmers was changed, and the household contract responsibility system was implemented, which greatly liberated rural productive forces and improved farmers' enthusiasm for production. At the end of the year, the total grain output and farmers' income increased. At the same time, the establishment of township enterprises in rural areas has greatly improved the living standards of farmers and increased their income. In cities, state-owned enterprises began to reform, which changed the previous situation of separating government from enterprises and promoted the efficiency of enterprises and the enthusiasm of workers for production. At the same time, four special economic zones and 13 coastal open cities were opened, and advanced western management mode and production technology were introduced into China, which greatly promoted the development of coastal economy. At the same time, politically, our democracy and legal system are constantly improving, and at the same time, our theories are constantly innovating, such as Deng Xiaoping Theory. The Twelfth National Congress of the Communist Party of China established the Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road, and the Thirteenth National Congress established the three-step strategy and the understanding of the primary stage of socialism, as well as the basic program and line for standing in the primary stage of socialism. Under the leadership of these principles, policies and lines, China's socialist cause has been continuously promoted, people's living standards have been continuously improved, and comprehensive national strength has been continuously enhanced.
