We must be clearly aware that there are still quite a few difficulties and problems in our work. The income of farmers and some urban residents has increased only slowly. The number of the unemployed has gone up. Some people are still badly off. Things have yet to be straightened out in the matter of income distribution. The order of the market economy has to be further rectified and standardized. Public order is poor in some places. Formalism, the bureaucratic style of work, falsification, extravagance and waste are still serious problems among some leading cadres in our Party, and corruption is still conspicuous in some places. The Party's way of leadership and governance does not yet entirely meet the requirements of the new situation and new tasks. Some Party organizations are feeble and lax. We must pay close attention to these problems and continue to take effective measures to solve them.

Our achievements over the past five years have been scored through reform and opening up, especially through our practice since the Fourth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee in 1989. These 13 years have witnessed a highly volatile international situation and a magnificent upsurge of China's reform, opening up and modernization. From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, there occurred serious political disturbances in China, drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Socialism in the world suffered serious setbacks. China was faced with unprecedented difficulties and pressure in its efforts to develop the socialist cause. At this crucial historical juncture bearing on the destiny of the Party and state, the Party Central Committee relied firmly on all the comrades in the Party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups and unswervingly adhered to the line prevailing since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, and thus successfully brought the overall situation of reform and development under control and safeguarded the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. After Comrade Deng Xiaoping made remarks on his tour of the South, the Fourteenth National Congress decided to establish a socialist market economy as the goal of reform, thus ushering in a new stage for reform, opening up and the modernization drive. To develop a market economy under socialism is a great pioneering undertaking never tried before in history. It is a historic contribution of the Chinese Communists to the development of Marxism. It has given expression to our Party's tremendous courage to persist in making theoretical innovation and keeping pace with the times. The shift from the planned economy to the socialist market economy represented a new historic breakthrough in reform and opening up and brought about entirely new prospects for China's economic, political and cultural progress. After the demise of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, we held high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory and made pioneering efforts to advance the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics into the 21st century in an all-round way.

五年來(lái)的成就，是在改革開(kāi)放特別是一九八九年十三屆四中全會(huì)以來(lái)的實(shí)踐基礎(chǔ)上取得的。這十三年來(lái)，國(guó)際局勢(shì)風(fēng)云變幻，我國(guó)改革開(kāi)放和現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)的進(jìn)程波瀾壯闊。二十世紀(jì)八十年代末九十年代初，國(guó)內(nèi)發(fā)生嚴(yán)重政治風(fēng)波，東歐劇變、蘇聯(lián)解體，世界社會(huì)主義出現(xiàn)嚴(yán)重曲折，我國(guó)社會(huì)主義事業(yè)的發(fā)展面臨空前巨大的困難和壓力。在這個(gè)決定黨和國(guó)家前途命運(yùn)的重大歷史關(guān)頭，黨中央緊緊依靠全黨同志和全國(guó)各族人民，堅(jiān)持十一屆三中全會(huì)以來(lái)的路線不動(dòng)搖，成功地穩(wěn)住了改革和發(fā)展的大局，捍衛(wèi)了中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義偉大事業(yè)。鄧小平同志南方談話以后，十四大確立社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)體制的改革目標(biāo)，改革開(kāi)放和現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)進(jìn)入新的階段。在社會(huì)主義條件下發(fā)展市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)，是前無(wú)古人的偉大創(chuàng)舉，是中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨人對(duì)馬克思主義發(fā)展作出的歷史性貢獻(xiàn)，體現(xiàn)了我們黨堅(jiān)持理論創(chuàng)新、與時(shí)俱進(jìn)的巨大勇氣。由計(jì)劃經(jīng)濟(jì)體制向社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)體制的轉(zhuǎn)變，實(shí)現(xiàn)了改革開(kāi)放新的歷史性突破，打開(kāi)了我國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治和文化發(fā)展的嶄新局面。鄧小平同志逝世后，我們高舉鄧小平理論偉大旗幟，開(kāi)拓進(jìn)取，把中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義事業(yè)全面推向二十一世紀(jì)。
