Chapter 37 Section 6 rekindles the Chinese dream and carries the "Chinese model" to the end
We are in the best period in history, with great responsibilities and lofty missions, and we need to rekindle the Chinese dream.Behind is the millennium glory of China's economy and short-term economic setbacks, and ahead is the millennium opportunity and century-old dream of the great economic revival of the Chinese nation.
More than 5,000 years ago, China had romantic feelings for beautiful dreams, and with its rich imagination, it has made great contributions to the splendid civilization of thousands of years.Because of the Chinese dream, there was the land Silk Road connecting China and the Western Regions, which opened up trade with countries all over the world; because of the Chinese dream, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, bravely explored the unknown ocean, and opened up the connection The Maritime Silk Road between China and the rest of the world.After Zheng He’s 7th voyage to the Western Ocean, due to the ban on the sea, the imagination of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China became seriously insufficient. They even thought that “The Complete Map of All Nations” produced by Matteo Ricci was “unrealistic,” and lost it. In order to create the entrepreneurial spirit of the land and sea silk road, he was intoxicated in the millennium glory of the agricultural economy, and fell into a "high-level dynamic equilibrium" unknowingly.Hegel once said, "China lacks the great courage of Europeans to explore the ocean, but indulges itself in the rhythm of agricultural society on its vast land."In modern times, China's economy has sunk. The "Westernization Movement" declared bankruptcy with the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1899-1895. China went from self-confidence to inferiority, and dared not dream.
After 1949, with the founding of the People's Republic of China, China dared to dream again.In 1965, Mao Zedong wrote "Water Melody Getou: Revisiting Jinggang Mountain" on Jinggang Mountain, which is full of imagination and lofty ambition: "Thirty-eight years have passed, and with the flick of a finger, you can reach the moon in the nine heavens and travel to the five oceans. Catch turtles, talk and laugh and triumph. There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb."The Chinese economy is a dream-driven economy.The "Chinese Dream 1.0" marked by the "Four Modernizations" led the Chinese economy to initially realize industrialization, and got out of the millennium "high-level dynamic equilibrium" trap; the "Chinese Dream 2.0" in the early 1980s made the Chinese economy in 2001 To achieve a well-off living standard in 2011, beyond the imagination of almost everyone, to realize the dream of "well-off" that existed 5,000 years ago.
Since the reform and opening up in 1978, China has embarked on a unique development model, namely the "China Model". The "Chinese model" is: "central reform, local innovation, individual entrepreneurship". What is the driving force behind the "China Model"? The three subjects of the "China model" all have their own dreams, namely, the dreams of the central government, the dreams of local governments, and the dreams of individuals.These three dreams can be said to be the combination of the central government’s national dream of leading the people across the country to achieve a moderately prosperous living standard, the local government’s regional dream of realizing accelerated regional economic development, and the family dream of ordinary people pursuing a better life. Together, they describe “Chinese Dream 2.0.” moving chapters.According to United Nations data, the median age of the Chinese population in 2009 was about 35 years old, which means that the main life experience of most Chinese people is the second 30 years of the Republic, and the first 30 years of the Republic seem to be "before birth".The process of realizing "China Dream 2.0" is reflected in the turbulent lives of most people in China.
In 2009, it has been 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it has been 31 years since the beginning of reform and opening up in 1978. We are leaving 2009, the year when "China's economic changes" were completed, and heading towards 2029, the 80th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The year 2049.
So today, where is the new impetus and new hope for the "China Model"?This immeasurable new driving force and new hope lies in: the central government realizes the national dream of building a well-off society in an all-round way, cooperates with local governments to fully implement the scientific development concept to create a regional dream of local characteristic economy, and cooperates with the general public's family dream of starting a business and creating wealth. Together, they will form a magnificent movement of "Chinese Dream 2.5".
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games can be said to have rekindled the "Chinese Dream".The theme slogan of the Beijing Olympics - "One World One Dream" is the most intuitive display.On the eve of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou, the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency and interpreted the creation of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.When a reporter from Xinhua News Agency asked: "How to define the biggest feature of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games?" Zhang Yimou replied: "The biggest feature of our Olympic opening ceremony is one word: romance. Personally, I like 'One World One Dream' very much." ' This theme slogan. The word 'dream' makes people feel romantic. In fact, Chinese people have never lacked romance since ancient times. Ancient Chinese freehand brushwork, Chinese poetry, and music are full of romantic colors. Romance has actually long been It has been integrated into the blood of the Chinese people. It does not use a single word, but it is romantic. But at present, foreigners have a relatively one-sided understanding of China. Many people always think that Chinese people live in a single and patterned way. This time we want to borrow The huge platform of the Olympic Games has made the whole world aware of the romance of China."
China's manufacturing industry urgently needs to learn how to develop and market the international market. This is the Chinese dream that calls for corporate brands.The American blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda" made with Chinese cultural elements became popular all over the world in 2008. In April 2009, "Kung Fu Panda" director John Stevenson participated in the Suzhou Animation Industry Conference.After a few days of watching samples and talking, he regretted that none of the Chinese animation samples that participated in this conference has the conditions to "turn painting into gold".One of the biggest problems is the lack of "dreams and imaginations".Stevenson believes that animation works should create a space for imagination and express dreams. Only in this way can audiences be won.
In May 2009, Ma Yun, chairman of the board of directors of China's Alibaba Group, published "Chinese Dream and New Business Spirit", which accurately echoed the business theme of the era that enterprises need "Chinese Dream".He said: "We have to have a dream. In the 1930s and 1940s, people in the American auto industry had a big dream, that is, to turn the United States and Americans into a country and people on wheels. In my opinion, our The mission of the first generation is to move commerce to the Internet and e-commerce. The automobile industry has driven oil, aluminum alloys, and rubber. I believe that the development of the information business system and commercial civilization will definitely drive the development of the entire economy. People Sometimes there is always a dream—Chinese entrepreneurs are not short of money, but we lack spirit, hope, dreams and values.”
In 2009, the global influence of China's economy was particularly prominent in the world financial crisis. After 2029, the significance of China's economy will become more global. China needs to understand the world, and the world needs to understand China. It is necessary to establish a platform to communicate with the world.
I have two unsystematic suggestions.It is suggested to establish a "World Entrepreneur Forum" in Yabuli, Harbin.The annual Boao Forum is positioned in Asia, and the "World Entrepreneur Forum" is positioned in the exchange of global entrepreneurs.The existing "China Entrepreneurs Forum" in Yabuli, Harbin can be expanded into a "World Entrepreneurs Forum" and become a place for entrepreneurs from all over the world to exchange ideas. The "World Entrepreneur Forum" and the "World Economic Forum" in Davos, Switzerland have formed a dislocation. The "World Economic Forum" is increasingly playing the role of the world's economic and financial public opinion center. A platform for investors to communicate and cooperate.
On the basis of the basic success of China's stock market, it is recommended to vigorously develop the corporate bond market.The scale of China's corporate bond market is relatively small, accounting for a small proportion of the bond market.The Indian capital market, especially its corporate bond market, has cultivated a number of international companies, including Information System Technology, Satyam Computer Services, Hewlett-Packard Technologies, and Tata Consulting Services.The development of China's corporate bond market is conducive to the rational pricing of stock prices and the internationalization of RMB.
2009 is a very appropriate time. Personally speaking, as long as every Chinese has a dream in his heart and works hard, it is possible to realize his dream. Compared with "China Dream 2.0", "China Dream 2.5" has not changed, it is the ideal of a prosperous and powerful country; what has changed is more dreams full of individuality and fashion.I assert that the phrase "I have a Chinese dream" will be familiar and quoted by more and more Chinese people, and become a declaration of action for many people.If the Chinese can regain their own dreams and work hard for their entrepreneurial dreams, the Chinese economy will be able to become an "imaginative economy" and build an "innovative country and learning economy", and it will be able to calmly deal with the challenges of any productivity revolution.
After 2029, we will pursue the "Chinese Dream 3.0" marked by the realization of the third-step economic development strategic goal!That was the great revival of the Chinese economy.For other young countries, it can be called "rise", but for China, which has a history of 5,000 years of economic development, it is "renaissance".The Secretary-General of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Ange, said in 2007: "When historians look back at the era we live in, they may find that almost no country's economic development can be as remarkable as the rise of China. However, When they open their historical perspective further, they will see that it was not a rise, but a renaissance. Today, China may be becoming the largest economy in the world. However, in the past it had this honor, it was only 100 Many years ago."
The philosopher Kant divided beauty into two types, one is the beauty of tragedy, and the other is the beauty of greatness.In human history, there are not many countries that can interpret these two aesthetic realms at the same time, and China is just a classic case.During the 209 years from 1840 to 2049, China staged a great aesthetic transformation from greatness to tragedy and then to greatness.History is not a script, but China's history itself is like a script.China and the Roman Empire during the Han Dynasty were the most powerful countries of their time.After the collapse of the Roman Empire, there was no chance of revival.China, on the other hand, miraculously revived after experiencing the long-term division of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and established the Sui and Tang empires.In the 100 years from 1949 to 2049, the great economic renaissance of the Chinese nation was not a strong rise, but a process of "Phoenix Nirvana", that is, the Chinese economy was reborn after successfully coping with the productivity revolution after a century of stagnation and sinking.Bo Yang concluded in the book, "China is like a huge cube. It will fall in the overwhelming tide. But after the tide recedes, it still stands there proudly, facing the world from the other side, never disappearing, never sinking. … ...the dying Chinese have rejuvenated and rejuvenated, and they have created China's fourth golden age, playing a loyal and glorious role among all nations in the world, and becoming one of the most important protagonists."
In 2009, the year of Jiazi of the Republic, we look forward to the 100th anniversary of the Republic in 2049.People like me who were born in the 1970s, although they could not feel the burning passion of the founding ceremony in 1949, were fortunate enough to experience the national jubilation of the 1984 National Day military parade, the global impact of the 1999 National Day military parade, and the 2009 National Day military parade in jubilation.On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China is like a phoenix soaring in nirvana, extremely gorgeous and brilliant. That is the glorious moment of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
Let's imagine the future.After 209 years of suffering and trials, our big country with a population of more than one billion has finally been reborn from the ashes.At that time, in the country, "the common people are bright", rich and happy, and achieve great prosperity.A well-off society in an all-round way is a per capita GDP of more than 4,000 US dollars, so a well-off society in 2049 is a basically wealthy country with a per capita GDP of more than 40,000 US dollars.On the international stage, carry forward the traditional spirit of "inheriting the peerless, abolishing the country, softening people from afar, and coming to a hundred craftsmen", "confidantes in the sea, and neighbors in the world", and promote a harmonious world of "concord and harmony". "Chinese innovation" will to a certain extent share the frontier risks and uncertainties of the world economy's response to the productivity revolution; "Chinese consumption" and "Chinese foreign investment" have become one of the main engines driving the world.
"Chinese Dream 3.0" is the external image of China's economy, blooming with infinite charm, and an important part of the human dream shared with the world.China's highly open economy not only enables Chinese people to achieve "China Dream 3.0", but also enables foreigners to achieve "China Dream 3.0".In China, there is the world's largest market, ideal job opportunities, a large number of investment opportunities, blockbuster movies no less than Hollywood, fashion life no less than New York, and lucrative RMB financial assets.China's economic development has given 1.4 billion Chinese people and people from all over the world a chance to realize their dreams. This trend has converged into a world-wide "Chinese Dream 3.0".
I would say cautiously that the realization of the strategic goal of the third stage of China's economic development, that is, "China Dream 3.0", is just like Mao Zedong's famous prophecy written on Jinggang Mountain in 1930, "it can already be seen from the coast looking at the sea. A sailing ship with a pointed mast, it is a round of morning sun that stands on the top of a high mountain and looks radiant in the east, and it is a baby that is about to mature restlessly in the mother's womb."
I racked my brains and couldn't think of a comprehensive and specific scenario for China after 2049, so I had to use the language of French literature to express my vision of the century-old republic realized by "Chinese Dream 3.0", that is, to use Tocqueville The words: "Other aspects are hard to say, but one thing is for sure, that is, there will be a brand new situation in the world that cannot be imagined by rich imagination."
At the last full stop, Harbin is already in full bloom of lilacs.This book has ten drafts, and I poured my years of research on the Chinese economy, more than a year of hard work in the middle of the night, and nearly 40 years of life experience.
I liked to read history since I was a child. "If you are born less than a hundred years old, you often worry about being a thousand years old."The century-old changes in China since the beginning of the 20th century are presented in my ordinary family.My ancestors came from Shandong, and they first came to Liaoning when they "went through the Guandong". Emperor Kangxi allowed intermarriage between Manchu and Han.Later, my grandparents came to Harbin from Liaoning, where my father was born.Soon, grandpa was captured by the Japanese invading army as a laborer and died in a labor camp, which brought heavy disaster to the family.My parents read books after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. I was a college student in the early 1960s. The “Cultural Revolution” broke out two years before graduation. After graduation, I was assigned to the Northwest to participate in the “Third Front Construction” in the Northwest until retirement.I was born at the foot of Helan Mountain in Ningxia, grew up in the spring breeze of reform and opening up, and studied at Southeast University and Tsinghua University.
When I went abroad at the end of 1995, I wanted to one day finish my studies and come back to build the motherland, so I took the time to see the world.I studied hard in the UK for 5 years and worked in the US for 5 years, during which I have been to some countries in Europe, Latin America, Africa and East Asia. On October 3, 2005, when the wheels of the United Airlines plane suddenly touched the runway of Beijing Capital International Airport, I was extremely excited.I felt that it wasn't the plane landing, it was my heart colliding with the land of the motherland, and it was my affectionate kiss dedicated to the motherland, because I have been separated from the motherland for too long. In 2003, the central government implemented the revitalization strategy for the old industrial bases in Northeast China. In 2005, I returned to Harbin, the destination where my grandparents went to the Guandong, to do my best for the revitalization of Northeast China. Major historical events such as "Crossing the Guandong", "Manchu-Han intermarriage", Japanese invasion, founding of New China, "Cultural Revolution", "Third Front Construction", reform and opening up, and the revitalization of Northeast China all played a decisive role in the history of an ordinary Chinese family.Personal destiny is subordinate to his era, and no one can escape it.
As an economic worker, born in the best era in history, I feel very lucky not to miss the great era. In 2009, the "Great Changes in China's Economy" has been completed, but the Nirvana of China's economy is still going on, and "China Dream 3.0" has not yet been realized.In the next 40 years, the international economic and financial situation will be complicated, and the domestic economic reform and structural adjustment will be extremely difficult. Opportunities and challenges will coexist, and glory and dreams will coexist.The opportunity for the great economic revival of the Chinese nation waits once in a thousand years.This is the best period in China's 5,000-year history of civilization, and it is also the period in which it is most necessary to walk on thin ice and move forward bravely.One of the important reasons for the decline of China's economy in modern times is that China lacks a group of qualified economists. After 1949, the older generation of Chinese economists made indelible contributions to the "great changes in China's economy". After 2009, China's new generation of "Economist Community" is growing, carrying the arduous historical mission of the post-"China's economic transformation" era.
