邓小平同志的开放观,是主张全方位、全面、双向、长期开放的大开放观,是我国从传统的社会主义转向有中国特色社会主义的具有决定意义的思想。正如他本人所说:“坚持改革开放是决定中国命运的一招。”十多年来,中国实行了这个方针,经济得到快速发展,老百姓满意。对于革命老区来说,也是如此。在广东的历次革命战争期间,由于敌强我弱的原因,我党建立的革命老区,大都在偏僻山区。这一封闭的自然地理环境,在当年武装斗争年代是优势;但是在社会主义经济建设时期,特别是实行市场经济体制后,显然成为劣势,造成老区的经济发展较为迟缓。实践证明,要建设好老区,必须实行改 Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s concept of opening up is a big-open view advocating omnidirectional, comprehensive, two-way and long-term opening up and a decisive thinking on our country’s transition from traditional socialism to socialism with Chinese characteristics.

However, during the period of socialist economic construction, especially after the introduction of a market economic system, it obviously became a disadvantage and caused the sluggish economic development in the old areas. Practice has proved that to build a good old quarter, we must implement reforms
