Chapter 22 Pies and Roses

Stories like Qingyuan's can be found everywhere in Zhejiang. Today's people can easily find that the rise and prosperity of every market has a vivid story of emancipating the mind and developing productivity.Especially in some remote and backward areas, it is from the market that people have stepped out of the narrow world. However, when writing this book, we are also trying to avoid such a tendency of understanding, that is: farmers are natural supporters of the professional market, they are born a kind of "market elf", and the value orientation of farmers represents the inevitable trend of the market ,etc.

In fact, the road to the market is not without bumps, thorns and hesitation. Rather than saying that the market is a delicious pie, it is better to say that it is a thorny rose. Although farmers are considered to be "natural revolutionaries", they are bound to be limited by their own level of understanding.In their attitude towards the market, they have an inner impulse to get rich, but at the same time they are utilitarian and "worldly".They want to sow the seeds today and reap the harvest tomorrow. In fact, when farmers approach the behemoth of the market, they don't fully understand what the market will bring to them.

The process of starting a prairie fire in the professional market is actually a breakthrough for farmers from the limitations of their own concepts. Therefore, in the process of establishing the market, some very dramatic plots also occurred.If we ignore these plots, we will not be able to fully display the rich and profound connotations of this era. The following story about Shaoxing Textile City is extremely intriguing.
