Cold criticisms were made of mistakes and failures in the implementation of the 5-year plans for national economic development set by the 7th Congress, failures to introduce practical and people-friendly methods in Party work.

They seriously analyzed mistakes obstructing economic development and inconveniencing the people, much of which could be ascribed to failures in studying the fields themselves and a lack of spirit to unconditionally implement the Party's policies and devotedly serve the people.
Speakers criticized themselves for deviations in afforestation, water-conservancy, land management, public security, and other fields. Mistakes were repented for before the Party Congress with vows to work harder with fresh readiness and a renewed fighting spirit.
