We have been making revolution for several decades and have been building socialism for more than three. Nevertheless,by 1978 the average monthly salary for our workers was still only 45 yuan,and most of our rural areas were still mired in poverty.

• 我们干革命几十年，搞社会主义三十多年，截至一九七八年，工人的月平均工资只有四五十元，农村的大多数地区仍处于贫困状态。
