First sentence: On December 18, 1978, the Chinese Communist Party held the historic Third Plenum of the Eleventh Party Congress in Beijing, which has been regarded by some as the "third turning point in China's twentieth-century history", after the 1911 revolution and the 1949 Communist revolution.1
