有印度网友谈到78年中印差距不大，现已差四倍。有人回帖.

I think a lot of people failed in two aspects when they described China before 1978: firstly, before 1978, China was a totally planned economy, therefore, you could not compare an planned economy and a market economy strength just by their incomes. At those days ( I lived 14 years in that system), cash income was low, but you did not need to buy a lot of things: free education, health care, rice, distribution in kind, commodities at very low prices. Literally, there were no poor people or rich people. Everyone was taken care of by the collective or government. Robbing and stealing were extremely rare. Secondly, China\'s reform started in 1978, but the system before 1978 laid a very solid foundation for the reform and future development, that is the social capital (compared of India at the same time): literacy level was high, the idea of being equal was deep rooted, there was a well-planned industrial system and highly-united and motivated people.

我给翻了一下，有错请提出。

我认为很多人在描述1978年前的中国时犯了两个错误。

第一，在1978年前，中国完全是一个计划经济，因此，你不能仅凭他们的收入来对比
一个计划经济和一个市场经济的力度。在那些日子里（我在那种体系下生活过14年）
现金收入很低，但是你不需要买很多东西。免费教育，医疗。米的分配以低价。基本
生活品价格很低。理论上，不存在穷人和富人。有政府或集体来关心每个人。抢劫和
偷窃现象极少。

第二，中国的改革始于1978年，但是在1978年前的体系给这种改革和将来的发展留下
了非常坚实的基础，那就是社会性资产（对比印度同时期）。平均文化程度很高。平
等思想已扎根于人们头脑中。存在着一个良好规划的工业体系和高度团结和有进取心
的人民。
