Chapter 44 Chapter 9: Dare to ask where the way is - 4 China's reform is passing a critical hurdle

Where is the way out for Chinese agriculture? Where is the crux that hinders the rapid development of China's rural areas? How can we reawaken the soaring enthusiasm and drive shown by Chinese farmers in the early 1980s, and re-stimulate the huge potential buried deep in their hearts that has been accumulated from generation to generation, and recreate the twenty-one Century China's new history of civilization? To this end, we have interviewed many experts and scholars in this field, and also read a large number of relevant research reports.Maybe what they say is all right, we do have many very urgent things that need to be done quickly!

The famous economist Wu Jinglian is a learned scholar. He obviously likes to borrow history to speak and let the facts speak. Even without much advanced theory, he is equally shocking.He said: None of the reforms will be smooth sailing.When the reform was first proposed, no one would have imagined that there would be a resurgence of reform in 1982; the 12th National Congress affirmed that the planned economy should be the main reference, but it was reversed in 1984; , passed the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Reform of the Economic System". , It was almost implemented, and I was very excited, thinking that China's reform would be on a smooth road, but after a few months, I decided not to implement it.In the past, I always hoped that there would be something groundbreaking, but now I think that as long as I can move forward step by step, it is very good.We cannot be blindly optimistic about the future. The experience of repeated setbacks in some major reforms in recent years tells us that China's reforms are passing a critical hurdle. "

This economist who has the courage to explore China's political and social changes and has won the title of "Wu Market" has been particularly fond of quoting the opening lines of Charles Dickens' novel A Tale of the City in the past two years, hinting at his interpretation of China's reforms: "It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, and it was the age of foolishness; it was the age of trust, and it was the age of doubt; it was the season of light, and it was dark; it was hope The spring of my life is also the winter of disappointment; our future is boundless, and at the same time we feel hopeless; we are all going to heaven together, and we are all going in another direction..."

Wu Jinglian said: "In an era of great and complicated changes, we must see that there are both good and bad factors. Therefore, both futures are possible. Of course we hope to have the best future. But the future of China , can only depend on our current understanding and today's efforts."
