Chapter 38 postscript

Einstein once said, "One can only find the short and risky life value only by dedicating himself to society." In 1991, at the age of 20, I made up my mind to change my career to work in economics, determined to join the historical torrent of China's economic reform and construction, and to integrate my tiny life into the great process of the economic revival of the Chinese nation.It has been 18 years now, and my infatuation has not changed, and I have never changed my mind. The lofty sense of responsibility of Mr. Wu Jinglian, a famous senior economist, is an example for me to learn from.At the age of more than 70, he stood at the forefront of the domestic economic wave. He said, "My obsession with economics, in the final analysis, is to answer a question that has troubled generations of Chinese intellectuals who have been seeking truth: how to revitalize the century-old Weak China. Apply what you have learned. There are ancient teachings. Since I have come to the conclusion from my tortuous explorations that the rise and fall of China’s prosperity and disgrace depend on reform, I should practice it and contribute my knowledge and ability to the great cause of economic reform. cause."

Teacher Justin Yifu Lin is also my role model. In 1986, he was the first overseas doctor of economics to return to the motherland from mainland China. I admire his profound understanding of Chinese history.He quoted the famous Eastern Han Dynasty general Ma Yuan's oath of "horse leather shroud" to express his ambition: "The ideal of a soldier is to return the horse leather shroud, and my greatest wish is to die on the desk from exhaustion."This sentence can be said to reveal the truth and touch the heart. Sima Qian said in "Bao Ren An Shu", "If you want to die, then it will be decided."

In 1999, I made an appointment with my Chinese alumni at Cambridge University to make their own efforts for the realization of China's third-step strategic goal, and to live until the day when China realizes the third-step strategic goal.What is a Qualified Economist? published in 2002. "In the article, I was inspired by Keynes's view that economists should be multi-talented and wrote: "A qualified economist in the future should be an expert in a certain field of economics, and have the skills of computer software engineer, philosopher, history The synthesis of various talents of scientists, entrepreneurs and artists, or people who practice lifelong learning. The prosperity and challenges of human economy need a large number of qualified economists. Keynes once dreamed that one day economists as a profession are as common as dentists And it is respectable. To be a qualified economist is my dream in life."

I have a Chinese dream, which is to live until 2049, the day when the third strategic goal of China's economic development is realized. If I can get the evaluation of "he is a qualified economist in the era of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation", that's it. Live without regret. Finally, I would like to thank my family, wife Wang Jiaping and daughter Yao Qinglei.The unconditional support of my wife and daughter is what keeps me going through every hard creative night.Younger brother Dr. Yao Yuliang, friends Liu Feng and Zhao Bingyang reviewed each draft in detail and put forward valuable suggestions for revision.Jiao Yuanchao, Zhang Yi, Zheng Haiyan, Zhuo Xin, Zhang Jiansheng, and Shen Bo all read each draft carefully and gave me important suggestions for revision.I thank Wu Xiaobo for his encouragement, and hope that he will be satisfied with the "Yabuli Covenant" I have completed. I also thank the Yabuli China Entrepreneur Forum, which is a place where ideas shine.Thanks to Wang Shoudong, a famous Chinese calligrapher, who wrote the title of this book, Mr. Wang Bugao, a famous Chinese Fu writer, for his guidance on "Fu of Chinese Dreams", and thanks to the two masters of Chinese studies for their voluntary teaching.I think they don't value the author himself, but a deep desire to rekindle the Chinese dream.Shen Jiale, editor of CITIC Publishing House, and Wang Liuquan, editor of Blue Lion Finance and Economics Publishing Center, are two well-educated and rigorous editors who have worked hard for this book.Here, I would like to express my sincere thanks to them.

Finally, I would like to declare that this book is only the author's academic achievements and personal opinions for many years, and has nothing to do with any organization or institution. I hope to be understood and respected by the media in the Internet age.
