The Communist Party of China and China’s Development （中国共产党与中国社会的发展进步） (ePub)

Chinese society has experienced one fundamental change after another over the last 100 or so years, revolution, construction and reform being three important chapters in its modern and contemporary history. During the first half of the 20th century, through arduous struggles, the Chinese people overthrew the triple oppression of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism, and realised national independence and people's liberation. After the founding the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese nation chose the socialist system, and by doing so successfully turned a backward agricultural country into a preliminarily industrialised one. They then stepped onto a road of Reform and Opening-up, a road of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. Today, China is energetically pursuing a series of interior reforms. The huge changes that are taking place in China have caught the attention of the world. An opening country like China needs understanding by the rest of the world, and so this booklet, we hope, will facilitate your understanding of China's history, present situation and social progress, and the role of Communist Party of China (CPC).（近百年来，中国社会一直处在连续不断的变革之中，革命、建设和改革构成中国近现代历史上的三个重要篇章。20世纪上半叶，中国人民经过艰苦卓绝的斗争，推翻了帝国主义、封建主义和官僚资本主义的压迫，实现了民族独立和人民解放。1949年中华人民共和国成立后，中国人民选择了社会主义制度，把一个落后的农业国初步建设成为工业国，随后又走上改革开放、建设中国特色社会主义的道路。今天的中国充满活力，其内部的变革也更令人眩目。中国发生的巨大变化已经引起了世界的兴趣和关注，而一个开放的中国也需要得到外部世界的理解。我们衷心希望，这本小册子能为您了解中国的历史与现状、中国社会的进步和中国共产党的作用提供帮助。）
