Early in the year, during an inspection tour of the south, Comrade Deng Xiaoping gave several important talks. He made a penetrating analysis of the current international and domestic situation. He also made a scientific summation of the basic practice and experience of the Party since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee. He emphasized that the basic line must be followed unswervingly for 100 years. He urged people in China to further emancipate their minds, to be more daring in reform and opening up, to quicken the pace of economic development and not to lose any favorable opportunity.
