摘要
In 1978, China started the historic process of reform and open- ing up. This is a glorious chapter in the development epic of the country and the nation composed by the Chinese people, record- ing the great journey of common progress of China and the rest of the world. It has not only profoundly changed the country, but also greatly influenced the whole world. Over the past 40 years, China has been adhering to the fundamental national policy of reform and opening up and pursuing development with its door wide open. A model of all-round, multi-level and wide-ranging opening up has gradually taken shape. China is closely connected with the outside world and has made a significant contribution to the noble cause of global peace and development.
1978年，中国开启了改革开放的历史进程。改革开放是中国人民用双手书写的国家和民族发展的壮丽史诗，是中国和世界共同发展进步的伟大历程，不仅深刻改变了中国，也深刻影响了世界。40年来，中国坚持对外开放基本国策，打开国门搞建设，逐步形成了全方位多层次宽领域的对外开放格局，极大促进了中国与外部世界的交流交融，为人类和平与发展的崇高事业作出了重要贡献。
