(京西宾馆,安徽小岗村) 1978年12月,党的十一届三中全会召开了,中央委员们走进这庄严的会场,决定党和国家的大事。 几乎与此同时,远在千里之外的江淮,一个只有20户人家的小村子里(字幕:安徽凤阳小岗村),也发生了一件大事。有一天,18户人家的21个农民趁着寒冷的夜色,秘密商量着自己的事情。事情已经到了十分严峻的地步,关系到还能不能活得下去的问题,所以,他们不顾一切,豁出去了,冒着当时还很严峻的政治风险,立下了这份文书。就连他们自己也没有想到,他们的行为竟成为诱发一场深刻的“第二次革命”——改革的新契机。 (Jingxi Hotel, Xiaogang Village, Anhui Province) In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party was convened. Central committee members walked into this solemn meeting place and decided on major party and state events. Almost at the same time, a major event took place in Jianghuai, a small village of only 20 households (Subtitle: Xiaogang Village, Fengyang, Anhui Province), a thousand miles away. One day, 21 peasants of 18 families secretly discussed their own affairs while taking advantage of the cold night. Things have reached a very serious stage, related to the problems that can not survive, so they desperate to fight it out, taking the then very serious political risk, set the instrument. Even they themselves did not think that their actions have actually become a new “second revolution” induced by the reform - a new opportunity for reform.
