1979年4月8日,中央工作会议期间,邓小平同志与时任广东省委第一书记习仲勋同志谈话时指出,在广东划一块地出来,搞一个特区。这就是《春天的故事》里吟唱的“1979年,那是一个春天,有一位老人在中国的南海边画了一个圈”那段史实。同样是在这一年的早春,同样是这位老人,在中国的长城外,圈点了中国对外开放第一家合资企业。这一圈一点,共同开启了中国改革开放的时代帷幕。 On April 8, 1979, during the Central Working Conference, Comrade Deng Xiaoping talked with Comrade Xi Zhongxun, first secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, and pointed out that it should make a piece of land in Guangdong and engage in a special zone. This is what is sung in “The Story of Spring.” “In 1979, it was a spring when an old man drew a circle around the South China Sea.” Also in the early spring of this year, the same old man outside China’s Great Wall punctuated the first joint venture that China opened to the outside world. This circle a little, jointly opened the curtain of China’s reform and opening up era.
