毛泽东同志曾经讲过:“看它的过去,就可以知道它的现在;看它的过去和现在,就可以知道它的将来。”毛泽东同志在这里虽是针对具体对象说的,但从方法论上说,却有普遍的指导意义。因此,我们研究讨论“邓小平理论与跨世纪的中国”这样一个前瞻性的课题,就需要回顾邓小平理论的形成和发展。 Comrade Mao Tse-tung once said: “Looking at its past, you can know its present situation; its past and present can tell its future.” While Comrade Mao Tse-tung said it aimed at specific targets here, from a methodological point of view That said, there is a general guiding significance. Therefore, when we study and discuss such a forward-looking topic of “Deng Xiaoping Theory and China Across the New Century,” we need to review the formation and development of Deng Xiaoping Theory.
