After the Cultural Revolution, there were Five Modernizations, but I can only find four. Can you name five?

Question:

Answer: There were only four official parts, and this was the name of Deng Xiaoping's reform program. The Chinese are very big on lists of principles with specific numbers. In this case, the principles were improvements in agriculture, industry, science and technology, and national defense. In response to the Four Modernizations campaign, in December 1978, the "Fifth Modernization", a signed pro-democracy poster was placed by Wei Jingsheng on the Democracy Wall in Beijing. It was the first poster that openly advocated further individual liberties.
