中国是世界上最大的发展中国家,又是发展中的社会主义国家,能否牢牢把握住发展这一当代的主题,对于中华民族的命运和社会主义的兴衰成败至关重要。中华民族曾经有过辉煌的历史,但是在近代落伍了。由于多次遭受帝国主义列强的侵略和掠夺,长期处于发展缓慢、停滞乃至倒退的境地。 As the largest developing country and a developing socialist country in the world, China can firmly grasp the contemporary theme of development and is crucial to the success and failure of the Chinese nation and the rise and fall of socialism. The Chinese nation once had a glorious history, but it lagged behind in modern times. Due to being repeatedly subjected to aggression and plunder by the imperialist powers, it has for a long time been in a situation of slow development, stagnation and even retrogression.
