改革和革命是两个既有联系又有区别的概念。社会变革的广泛性和深刻性，只能说明改革是革命，并不能决定改革也是革命。解放和发展生产力，用新体制代替旧体制，是决定改革成为革命的两个根本性因素。正确理解小平同志改革也是革命的思想，对于坚持改革的社会主义方向和深化改革，正确对待和处理改革过程中遇到的矛盾和问题，维护社会的稳定等都具有重要的现实意义。 Reform and revolution are two concepts that are both connected and distinct. The extensiveness and depth of social change can only show that reform is a revolution and that it can not decide whether to reform or a revolution. To liberate and develop the productive forces and to replace the old system with a new one is the two fundamental factors that determine that reform should become a revolution. A correct understanding of Comrade Xiaoping’s reform is also a revolutionary idea. It is of great practical significance for upholding the orientation of socialism in reform and for deepening the reform, correctly handling and handling the contradictions and problems encountered in the process of reform, and safeguarding social stability.
