当中国改革之舟终于驶入建立社会主义市经济体制的航道后,在中国经济体制改革中起带头作用的农村改革又显现出更深一层始料未及的意义:它不但推动中国农业迅速发展,满足了占世界总人口约五分之一的广大人群的温饱之需,同时,在仅次于前苏联的计划经济最大领地中国,超前孕育出一方市场经济的幼芽。 After China’s reform boat finally entered the path of building a socialist economic system, the rural reforms that took the lead in the reform of the Chinese economic system revealed a deeper and unexpected meaning: it not only promoted the rapid development of China’s agriculture. It satisfies the need for food and clothing for the majority of the world’s population, which is about one-fifth of the world’s total population. At the same time, in the largest territory of the planned economy, which is second only to the former Soviet Union, China has given birth to a bud of a market economy.
