接班人要怎么选?1979年7月21日,邓小平视察上海,同彭冲、严佑民、王一平、钟民、赵平行、夏征农等谈话。邓小平指出,大问题是接班问题,任何地方、任何部门都有这个问题。现在就要有意识地选一些比较年轻的人,这是党的战略任务、根本任务。从现在着手,3年内的任务是选好一、二、三把手。选四五十岁的、身体好的、能坚持八小时工作的。现在老同志要注意,要任人唯贤,选真正好的,不能论资排辈。 On July 21, 1979, Deng Xiaoping inspected Shanghai and talked with Peng Chong, Yan Youmin, Wang Yiping, Zhong Min, Zhao Pinghang and Xia Zhengnong. Deng Xiaoping pointed out that the big issue is the succession issue, which is the issue everywhere and in any department. Now it is time to consciously choose some younger people. This is the party’s strategic task and its fundamental task. From now on, the task within three years is to choose first, second and third leaders. Choose four or five years old, good health, can insist on eight hours of work. Now, old comrades should pay attention to choosing meritocracy and choosing really good ones.
