The key element of China's reform and opening-up is to free people's mind and the most fundamental and significant component is institutional innovation. Through economic reform， we have built a socialist market economy， where the market plays a primary role in allocating resources under government macro regulation.We have carried out political reform， promoted democracy and improved the legal system.People are the masters of the country.We run the country according to law and endeavor to build a socialist country under the rule of law.The essence of China's reform and opening-up is to put people first and meet their ever growing material and cultural needs through releasing and developing productive forces.It aims to give everyone equal opportunities for all-round development.It aims to protect the democratic rights of the people and promote stability， harmony and freedom of everyone so that he or she may pursue happiness with ingenuity and hard work.
我深深爱着的祖国——古老而年轻。
说她古老，她是一个有着数千年文明史的东方大国。中华民族以其勤劳和智慧，创造了灿烂的古代文明，对人类的发展作出过重大贡献。
说她年轻，是因为新中国成立才60年，改革开放才30年，中国人民经过长期不懈的斗争建立了新中国，又经过艰苦的探索，终于找到了适合中国国情的发展道路——中国特色社会主义道路，按照这条道路，我们的文明古国焕发了青春活力。
中国改革开放，最重要的是解放思想。最根本、最具有长远意义的是体制创新。通过推进经济体制改革，我们建立了社会主义市场经济体制。在政府的宏观调控下，充分发挥市场对资源配置的基础性作用。通过深化政治体制改革，我们把发展民主和完善法制结合了起来，实行人民当家作主，依法治国，建设社会主义法治国家。
改革开放的实质，就是坚持以人为本。通过解放和发展生产力满足人们日益增长的物质文化需求。在公正的条件下促进人的全面发展；就是保障人民的民主权利，让国家政通人和、兴旺发达；就是维护人的尊严和自由，让每个人的智慧和力量得以迸发，成功地追求自己的幸福生活。
10.朱棣文在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲（节选）
My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movements， just presented， were light-hearted remarks.This next movement consists of unsolicited advice， which is rarely valued， seldom remembered， never followed.As Oscar Wilde said，“The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on.It is never of any use to oneself.”So， here comes the advice.
First， every time you celebrate an achievement， be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you， thank your professors who were inspirational， and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself.Going forward， the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success.To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussion， hug them.Also， of course， thank Harvard.Should you forget， there's an alumni association to remind you？
Second， in your future life， cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations， don't bargain for the last， little advantage.Leave the change on the table.In your collaborations， always remembering that“credit”is not a conserved quality.In a successful collaboration， everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.
毕业典礼演讲都遵循古典奏鸣曲的结构，我的演讲也不例外。刚才是第一乐章——轻快的闲谈。接下来的第二乐章是送上门的忠告。这样的忠告很少有价值，几乎注定被忘记，永远不会被实践。但是，就像王尔德说的：“对于忠告，你所能做的，就是把它送给别人，因为它对你没有任何用处。”所以，下面就是我的忠告。
每次取得成就的时候，不要忘记前人。要感谢你的父母和支持你的朋友，要感谢那些启发过你的教授，尤其要感谢那些上不好课的教授，因为他们迫使你自学。从整体看，自学能力是优秀的文科教育中必不可少的，其将成为你成功的关键。你还要去拥抱你的同学，感谢他们同你进行过的多次彻夜长谈，这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值。当然，你还要感谢哈佛大学。不过，即使你忘了这一点，校友也会来提醒你。
第二，在你们未来的人生中，做一个慷慨大方的人。在任何谈判中，都把最后一点点利益留给对方。不要把桌上的钱都拿走。在合作中，不要把荣誉留给自己。成功合作的任何一方，都应获得全部荣誉的90%。
