First sentence: Since his second political rehabilitation in 1977, Deng had one purpose in mind....to realize his desire for the future of China, which he set out in his keynote address to the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Party Congress in December 1978: "The Central Committee had put forward the fundamental guiding principle of shifting the focus of all Party work to the four modernizations...a great and profound revolution...our new Long March...to change the backward condition of our country and turn it into a modern and powerful socialist state."
