关于中国社会发展目标与发展模式是中国社会发展必须搞清楚的一个基本问题。邓小平经过对历史与现实的考察 ,经过对国际与国内形势的思索 ,确定了“富强、民主、文明的社会主义现代化国家”的社会发展目标 ,构建了“以改革促发展”的社会发展模式。在这一理论中 ,邓小平对毛泽东的思想有认同、继承与超越。但有一点是完全一致的 ,那就是两位伟人都希望探索出一条使中国社会发展得更快更好更强大的道路 China’s social development goals and development model is a basic issue that must be clarified in China’s social development. After examining history and reality, Deng Xiaoping determined the social development goals of “a prosperous, democratic and civilized socialist modern country” through pondering over the international and domestic situations and established a social development model of “promoting development through reform.” In this theory, Deng Xiaoping agrees, inherits and surpasses Mao Zedong’s thinking. But one thing is exactly the same, that is, both great men hope to find a way to make Chinese society develop faster, better and more powerful.
