"Fifty Glorious Years 1949-1999" (光辉的五十年1949-1999), designed by the Museum of the Chinese Revolution (中国革命博物馆) and published by the Zhongguo funü chubanshe (中国妇女出版社) and the Zhongguo dabaike quanshu chubanshe (中国大百科全书出版社) in 1999, is a series of 20 posters devoted to the period 1949-1999.

The developments that occurred after the adoption of Deng Xiaoping's strategy of Reform and Opening Up (改革开放) in 1978 receive more attention than the events preceding 1978. In that sense, the series celebrates the successes of Deng's actions. Jiang Zemin, Deng's successor, takes the credit for these successes as well.

The title reads "7. Township enterprises emerge" (7. 乡镇企业异军起).

The text reads "Township enterprises are a great creation of Chinese farmers. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, township enterprises have developed rapidly and achieved great success. In 1996, the operating income of township enterprises nationwide reached 6834.2 billion yuan, and the tax paid to the state was 143.6 billion yuan. The export delivery value was 600.8 billion yuan, accounting for 35.7% of the national export value. Township enterprises have become the main force of the rural economy and a major pillar of the national economy. They have made great contributions to transferring surplus rural labor, increasing farmers' income, consolidating and strengthening the collective economy, and building a prosperous, civilized and prosperous new socialist countryside." (乡镇企业是中国农民的伟大创造。十一届三中全会以来，乡镇企业迅猛发展，取得了巨大成就。1996年全国乡镇企业营业收入达68342亿元，上缴国家税金1436亿元，实现出口交货值6008亿元，占全国出口货值的35.7%。乡镇企业已成为农村经济的主题力量和国民经济的一大支柱，为转移农村富余劳动力，增加农民收入，巩固和壮大集体经济，建设富裕，文明，繁荣的社会主义新农村作出了重大的贡献).
