Chapter 25 Chapter 22: The Light of Golden Taicang

Now it's time to talk about Taicang. If I don’t write about Taicang when I write about Suzhou, my mother won’t forgive me, and even my father in heaven won’t forgive me lightly, because I grew up with half of my feet on the land of Taicang.My father has two younger sisters married in Taicang, my mother has two younger sisters married in Taicang, and my godfather and godmother are in Taicang. Do you think I can ignore Taicang?Doesn't that mean forgetting one's origin? The crux of the problem is that Taicang is a "heart" of Suzhou people and even Jiangsu people-in order to defend this land, Jiangsu people often compete with Shanghai people.After the middle of the last century, the people of Shanghai, with less land and more people, have always wanted to take the "next door" Taicang as their own, and discussed this matter with Jiangsu many times, but the Jiangsu people just refused.People from Suzhou and Taicang have gradually lost their desire to get close to relatives. Like a passionate girl who loves the handsome guy next door but dare not talk about marriage, she can only bury her love deeply in her heart... This all happened in a certain period before and after the "Cultural Revolution".In fact, even a Changshu wanderer like me always has a complex of wanting to be a Shanghainese in my heart. The reason is not complicated: Changshu is also close to Shanghai, and many lives cannot be separated from Shanghai.

However, within the scope of the country, the boundaries of administrative regions are a big issue in the minds of those in power. Anyone who wants to cross the border may be treasonous. Taicang people have been in the complicated and delicate relationship between Jiangsu and Shanghai for a long time, and it is difficult to do something if they want to do something. The limelight is on fire, the east is jealous, and the provincial capital in the west is thinking again: Is this Taicang thinking about "rebellion" again? Falling behind, those in the east are thinking: Since you can't manage Jiangsu well, why not just send me to Shanghai?

Beautiful you!Taicang did not develop well because it was too deeply "poisoned" by you in Shanghai!Someone in Jiangsu murmured again. Taicang people are really difficult.Taicang cadres did not tell me these things during my interview, but I am half a Taicang native, how can I not know the joys and sorrows in their hearts? Like Kunshan, Taicang is two county-level cities in Suzhou next to Shanghai.Kunshan people are a bit daring. They were not afraid of anyone when they married Shanghainese in the 1970s and 1980s. In contrast, Taicang people are not as daring and adventurous as Kunshan people. Well, it's also "advance quietly, don't shoot".

This is the Taicang people - the Taicang people before the reform and opening up. However, today’s Taicang is not like this. Their concepts, thinking, and working attitudes have completely changed... Let's get to know Taicang again -- the name Taicang is so good that it couldn't be better.Just like the name of Changshu, the name of Taicang reflects the abundant harvest every year in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.As early as the Three Kingdoms period, after Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, established the foundation of Soochow, the harvest was abundant every year, the people were happy, and the national strength was strengthened. Therefore, countless large warehouses for storing grain were built on a vast fertile land near the sea. Over time, this place was called "Taicang". up.

In the Yuan Dynasty of China, the government began to develop the maritime transportation industry, and Taicang was regarded as China's port of departure and has rapidly prospered since then.It is said that in order to build Taicang City, the government at that time issued an order, and within a few days, countless bricks, tiles and wood were transported from the branch pond of my hometown, and "Taicang City" was built within dozens of days. "Thousands of ships are transported by water, thousands of ships are traded, tall masts and masts, gathered like trees." This is the prosperous scene of Taicang Port at that time, and it can be called "the first wharf".

During the Yongle and Xuande years of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He, the great Chinese navigator, made seven voyages to the Western Seas, and each time he set sail from Taicang Port.Zheng He's repeated voyages to the West also brought more glory and prosperity to Taicang Port.By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a diversified economic pattern of both farming and fishing, as well as industry and commerce had been formed here. The commodity economy was quite developed, and the society achieved unprecedented development.In particular, the gathering of various elements of culture here has enabled this land to have more possibilities for cultural and artistic exploration and innovation. Among them, the most influential one is the formation of the Loudong School of Painting (Taicang is also called Loudong because it Located in the east of the ancient waterway Loujiang).At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shimin and Wang Jian of Taicang inherited the tradition of the previous generation of painters and pioneered Loudong's painting style.The Loudong School of Painting was once the mainstream painting school that flourished in the Qing Dynasty.

Another thing that Taicang people are most proud of is that Taicang is the birthplace of Chinese Kunqu Opera. Most people now know that Kunqu opera was created by Kunshan people.This is not false. However, tracing back to the source, Kunqu Opera has always been a kind of folk opera spread in Taicang and Kunshan at the earliest, and Kunqu Opera has really become a "handy" genre because it has been settled in Taicang Nanguan since then. Wei Liangfu, who spent decades collecting and summarizing some advantages of the local Kunshan tunes and Beiqu, and incorporating the elements of folk songs in this area, innovated and created the beautiful and long-lasting "Shuimo tune", that is, the real Kunqu opera.

People in Taicang believe that Kunqu opera was created by their ancestors. There is another basis: in the early Qing Dynasty, Song Zhifang's "Suo Wen Lu" and Ye Mengzhu's "Yue Shi Bian" recorded: Zhang Yetang was garrisoned in Taicang because of his crimes. Wei Liangfu admired him very much and betrothed his daughter to him, making Zhang Yetang his right-hand man in reforming and innovating Kunqu Opera.Zhang Yetang "learned Nanqu together, adjusted the chords and syllables to make it similar to Nanyin, and changed the style of Sanxian", on this basis, he integrated the northern and southern tones and formed a silk and bamboo band with complete string and wind instruments to accompany Kunqu Opera. Make Kunqu opera really start to mature.

"A piece of silk and bamboo is intoxicating, and the lingering sound of the dream is insomnia at night. Who knows the subtlety in it? The fairy music and neon clothes return to the world." Jiangnan silk and bamboo is an important type of traditional Chinese musical instruments. It belongs to the species of Taicang, so Taicang is now It was awarded the "Hometown of Silk and Bamboo in China" by the national cultural department. Taicang is not only the hometown of opera and folk music, but also an important birthplace of many folk stories and legends.Among them, the most influential "Cowherd and Weaver Girl"-the story of the immortal "Chinese lovers"-is said to have been produced here.When I was young, I went to a place called Huanggu Village in the southern suburbs of Taicang City. I heard from my parents that there used to be a Cowherd and Weaver Girl Temple here. It was demolished during the Great Leap Forward in 1958, and it was rebuilt in recent years. Ginkgo trees have never moved from their nests. "Qixi Daughter's Festival" is also called the Qiqiao Festival in our hometown, and also called the Xiangxun Festival. Every year on this festival, good men and believers from all over the world flock here to hold devout sacrificial ceremonies.

The culture can be so colorful because Taicang has a big port of "Six Nations Wharf".In ancient times, Taicang prospered because of the port, but the current prosperity of Taicang still cannot be separated from the role of the port. In contrast, Taicang is often called the "little brother" in various counties and cities in Suzhou. In addition to its special geographical reasons, Taicang has few villains, and it is naturally much smaller than the big Changshu and Zhangjiagang.Changshu has a total population of more than one million, Zhangjiagang has more than 800,000, and Taicang has only 400,000 to 500,000 people, and its area is nearly one-third smaller than the above two large counties and cities.People in Taicang were naturally unconvinced when they talked about Taicang in this way in the past, but they can’t because many things in China depend on the “total amount”.Therefore, it is inevitable for Taicang to suffer losses, and the reputation of "Little Taicang" is also formed intentionally or unintentionally.

The people of Taicang hold back their energy. These years, the "little man" has exerted great energy and stepped up to a new level year after year. Together with the big brothers in Kunshan, Changshu, Zhangjiagang, and Wujiang, he has also entered the top ten of the top 100 counties and cities in the country.But the people of Suzhou know that Taicang's effort to enter the top ten of the top 100 is definitely much more than that of the big brothers.So when they learned that Taicang had entered the top ten of the top 100 counties and cities, Suzhou leaders went to Taicang to express their congratulations. "Little brother" entering the top ten of the top 100 means that for Suzhou, "all qualified", and for Taicang, it means that no one should underestimate "we" from now on! "We are doing well!" Taicang people were proud! I didn't know it at first, but later I learned that there was a period of "humiliation" in Taicang more than ten years ago at the end of the last century.At that time, all counties and cities in Suzhou except Taicang had already developed quite powerfully, ranking among the top five counties and cities in the top 100 counties and cities in the country. Only Taicang, the younger brother, never made it to the top ten list of the top 100 counties and cities.In those years, Kunshan, a neighbor across the road from Taicang, developed rapidly. The brilliance and prestige of the "Kunshan Road" was well-known all over the world, and their economic model of the development zone was in full swing.It just so happened that at that time there was a trend of withdrawing the county and changing it to a city, so someone conspired in front of the leaders of Suzhou: just combine "Strong Kunshan" and "Little Taicang" and call it "Kuntai City"! "Kuntai City is good! Once Kuntai City is established, we can compete with Shanghai!" Kunshan people were secretly ecstatic.Kunshan people are capable of great things, and they are very supportive of this.However, Taicang was so sad that he would never agree to such a "humiliating" merger. I have not verified whether this is true or not, and I think this statement is not groundless. "Actually, before 1988, Kunshan was not as good as Taicang!" Lu Dongquan, an old Taicang native who joined the underground party before liberation, told me. "Let me give you an example: during the three-year natural disaster in the early 1960s, we still had 16.2 million catties of grain in the grain depot in Taicang at that time, which was accumulated over the years. After the harvest, they decided to take out the grain to help everyone. As a result, the people in Taicang survived three years of hardship. But Kunshan was so poor at that time that the people demolished their houses and went to some wealthy towns in Taicang to exchange grain. We The ordinary people in the village did not dare to exchange food for Kunshan people, nor did the county party committee. Later, the leaders of the Suzhou prefecture gave the Kunshan people a change. It was life-saving food! There is food in Taicang because we are not exaggerating. Falsely reporting the amount of food, the result is that the team has surplus food, and the people are not hungry due to the disaster. In the few years from the beginning of the cooperative to the people's commune, Taicang people have always been the first in the province to pay the country. Therefore, we have been in Taicang since ancient times. It is known as 'Golden Taicang'." Lu Lao said. Today, when we step into this golden land again, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that "Golden Taicang" is truly well-deserved. In the past ten years, Taicang has undergone the greatest changes among the counties and cities in Suzhou, and its growth rate and growth rate are also the largest. The main signs are not only reflected in its total regional production, but also in its per capita level.But at the dinner table that time, I heard another figure from Lu Weiqi, the head of the propaganda department of the Taicang Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, which surprised me: Taicang has a population of nearly 500,000, and there are dozens of centenarians!There are one or two thousand people over the age of ninety... "We have the most 'old birthday stars' in Taicang in Suzhou!" Minister Lu told me proudly. This surprised me secretly, because when I talked about economic development in the past, one thing always hung on my mind: the money in the pockets of the folks and the banknotes in the bank are more than before, and the life and life expectancy are also shorter than before. OK, longer? I have interviewed in other places before, and I have heard of such things as Changshou Township. For example, there is a Changshou Village in the picturesque Nanshan area of ​​Sanya, Hainan. I went there to see the people living on a beautiful beach like a paradise. Side, the air and scenery are so good, it’s no wonder I don’t live long!There is also a Changshou Village in a certain province, because the mountain people there are living in a primitive state. Although the food, housing and clothing of the people are still very poor, there is absolutely no industrial pollution there.Taicang and Suzhou are different. Both are the fastest-growing places in the country, with almost the highest degree of industrialization and modernization. If there are "Longevity Village" and "Longevity Township" here, it would be rare! But Taicang people told me: they not only have "Changshou Village" and "Changshou Township", but now the whole Taicang has become "Changshou City"! It's a miracle.This is another miracle of Suzhou that is not well known!It must be a mistake not to summarize and publicize this achievement. After I heard about this in an interview in Taicang, I was more excited than I heard how much fiscal revenue Taicang had increased in recent years, so I went to two villages in a limited time, one called Xiexin Village and the other called Taixing Village.They are all demonstration villages of "building a new socialist countryside", but when you come here, you will feel that these two villages do not have the kind of flamboyant new buildings and shiny roads built only by money. The so-called "new countryside" climate... Xiexin Village is an ordinary village that maintains the natural villages I saw in my childhood.The houses of the common people are also self-built small buildings on the old homestead, and there are even some bungalows.But whether you look at it from near or from a distance, it is very clean and novel. It turns out that the village and the peasant each paid half for the "outer packaging" of all the houses - the tiles and walls were unified with the same color. "This is good. It looks neat and beautiful." The farmers themselves said. Xiexin Village has a total of 174 households with a population of 756.Except for a road at the entrance of the village that can lead to the outside world, the road into the village is a concrete road, and there are generally no large vehicles coming in and out.A clear village river runs through the north and south of the village, with shaded flowers and trees on both sides of the river.The small bamboo gardens in front of and behind the houses of each house are embedded with the vegetable fields, which seems to be a very comfortable "rural" charm... On the other side of the river is a long mural, bypassing the river and getting close to it. Look, it turns out that the above is a huge "rural custom mural" painted by the farmers at the cultural station in the town. It is more than 100 meters long, very bold, and very in line with the rural customs in the south of the Yangtze River.This is a precious peasant mural I saw for the first time in Jiangnan.Walking further into the village, I found that there are some different types of genre paintings on the walls of many houses, one of which is a "painting exhibition" organized by the owner himself. Although the painting skills are not deep, it is very childlike.In the middle of the village river, there is a very "Jiangnan" covered bridge named "Shuanggou Pavilion".Sitting on the Shuanggou Pavilion, look up and see a eaves painting of "Qingshui River Waves", and look down at the gurgling water under your feet.Sitting here for a while is very comfortable.Next to the pavilion are the "Ten Views" of Xiexin Village built by the farmers, including "Moon Viewing from the Pearl", "Lotus Viewing from the Lotus Pond", "Farm Vegetable Field", "Peach Blossom Peninsula", "Mulberry Garden and Bamboo Forest", etc. Chic and elegant. Taking a closer look at the peasant houses on both sides of the river, it is found that every household has fields, land, gardens and forests, which are very natural and practical.That field was a place I saw when I was a child for sun-drying grains and enjoying the coolness in summer evenings. It was a garden for growing vegetables that my family loved to eat in season. The garden was used for raising poultry such as chickens, ducks, and woodland. Watching flowers and trees... From all of these, it can be seen that this new socialist countryside is the real life scene that farmers like most. "Build a new countryside, strive to be a new farmer, and create a new life," reads a slogan. Going further in, I didn't expect that there is an unexpected beauty in this extremely elegant and quiet village-"Farm Paradise": You can't be unhappy, especially those who have lived in the south of the Yangtze River since childhood, you will be in this small place I found many scenes from my childhood, such as mulberry trees, millstones, spinning machines, small bamboo forests, warehouses for stockpiling grain, nets made of river mud, etc., everything that one expects to find. "Life has changed now, and many things that used to be used in the countryside and things that grow can no longer be seen. Especially our children, although they were born in the countryside, they don't know many crops and the farm tools we used in the past. Build this farm paradise The purpose is to let the elderly who are living a new life have a thought about the past life, and for the children to let them learn some basic knowledge about the countryside..." the village chief introduced. After I heard this, I nodded frequently. This is a "new socialist countryside" that is most based on the reality of farmers. This is also where people from Suzhou and Taicang are exquisite, delicate and practical.In such a place, people's life will be happy and long. From Xiexin Village, I went to another village called Taixing. Compared with the natural state of Xiexin Village, Taixing Village is really as beautiful and unbelievable as stars in space.This is a brand new modern villa, its scale and momentum are quite good.It is particularly worth noting that among these beautiful villas there are not only spacious roads and lush green belts, but also very wide lakes and pools, as well as pavilions and white guardrails by the lake...all of them are reflected in the sparkling water. In the lake, there are gusts of breeze blowing, and the waves are shining, which makes Taixing Village really feel like a star in space. "Li Yuanchao visited Taixing Village twice when he was the Secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee. He praised it as a new socialist village with developed production, affluent life, civilized rural customs, clean and tidy village appearance, and democratic management. The main reason why Taixing Village can have today Still rely on the leader Liu Guohao..." Comrade Taicang said. This is expected: Taixing Village, like all other new villages that have become rich, is supported by a cadre who is selflessly dedicated, extremely intelligent, and of noble character.Liu Guohao is the secretary of the village party branch of Taixing Village, and the common people do not miss him.People say he is Wu Renbao from Taixing Village, because like Wu Renbao, he has been the village party secretary for decades, and like Wu Renbao, he is also on the list of fifty "famous village officials" across the country. Taixing Village was originally a famous poor village. Because of its remote location, it is also called "Bianjiao Village", which is a bit different among the villages in Taicang. In 1976, 30-year-old Liu Guohao became the fifth village party secretary. From that day on, he put all his thoughts on making the village rich.It depends on catching up with the express train of the development of township enterprises in Suzhou. In 1985, Taixing Village became a township star enterprise at that time. Six years later, Liu Guohao was transferred to the township power plant as the factory manager. During this period, the company in the village had problems, its products could not be sold, and it was facing bankruptcy.Liu Guohao returned to the village as party secretary again, and this time he never left until he rebuilt Taixing Village to become famous far and wide. In 2000, when the township enterprises were restructured, he was allowed to hold large shares as a village cadre according to the regulations, but Liu Guohao took the lead and other village cadres to dedicate all the "benefits" to the villagers, and reserved a rich share capital for the village collective.Later, the benefits of village enterprises continued to rise, and villagers enjoyed the benefits of the collective economy in terms of food, housing, and utilities—the first "telephone village", the first "mobile phone village", and the first "straw gasification village" ... What does Taixing Village look like now? Walking into a farmer with a new three-story building, the hostess is an old sister-in-law in her sixties.She told me that her original house was built in the 1980s, and now this new villa of 286 square meters was divided by Murakami in the past two years, and she only spent more than a hundred thousand yuan, "even the decoration is included. You See how much my house is worth in your city?" The old sister-in-law asked me happily. "It's worth at least five or six million yuan!" I walked up and down, stood at the door of the villa and looked at it again, and told her enviously. "Ah, it's worth so much money! I have to thank Secretary Liu again..." The old sister-in-law clapped her hands on her knees and said to herself, "It's such a good day, I'll die if I don't live to be a hundred years old!" "Hahaha, definitely no problem, no problem. People in Taicang can live to be a hundred years old!" If the people of Taicang continue to develop like this, many people will live to be a hundred years old.This is what many Taicang people told me.Their reason is that the development of Taicang has paid attention to the concept of the scientific development concept from the very beginning.Some people think that after the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Hu Jintao as the general secretary put forward the theory of the scientific outlook on development. An innovative and important theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics that guides the development of our country at the present stage based on the important thinking of the "Three Represents" comes from our many years of development practice, which should include walking in places like Suzhou A summary of the country's leading development practice experience.Therefore, the concept and practice of the scientific outlook on development should be said to have long been a conscious awareness and conscious action in Suzhou, especially in places like Taicang. During my interview in Taicang, Pu Ronggao, the current secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, told me a few things, which left a deep impression on me. One thing is about the population of Taicang. In 1949, the population of Taicang was 300,000.For more than two decades until the early 1970s, Taicang's population growth rate was not low at that time under the influence of "many people are powerful" and agriculture learned from Dazhai.The most typical example is that there is a woman in Taicang, only 38 years old, married for 18 years and pregnant with 18 children.Due to the poor contraceptive measures at the time, she herself was tired of getting pregnant again and again. In a fit of anger, she even put her stomach on the corner of the table and drank unclean water, but it didn't help.She said that her stomach was never empty like a sack filled with rice.Later, people in Taicang realized the seriousness of the problem of population growth, so they implemented the party's family planning policy very vigorously and consciously, and linked this consciousness with the quality of life of people and the quality of life of ordinary people. You can link fewer births and better education with the pursuit of a happy life. "With one less mouth, one less person will rob us of land and jobs." This saying is very popular among the people of Taicang.Therefore, Taicang became the first county in the country where the natural population growth rate was reduced to less than 10‰.Especially in the ten years from 1995 to the present, the level of negative population growth has been continuously maintained. "In the past 30 years, our Taicang has increased by 200,000 to 300,000 people, which is equivalent to reducing the human occupation of 200,000 to 300,000 mu of land. Our Taicang is a small county in Suzhou, but now we have a large area of ​​available agricultural land One of the most cities and counties in Suzhou. There are fewer people and more land. In the economically developed southern Jiangsu area, it has the greatest development potential and advantage. Why have we been able to catch up with or surpass the development of several big brother cities and counties in Suzhou in recent years? To a large extent, it depends on having enough land space. We are close to Shanghai and Suzhou in Taicang, and the advantage of every inch of land can easily become a low-input, high-output, good and fast development reality.” Secretary Pu said. The second thing is that the people in Taicang have a high safety factor. People in Taicang have been famous since ancient times for their peaceful mind and the fact that the poor do not hate the rich.It is said that Shen Wanshan, a neighbor of Kunshan in the Ming Dynasty, was "rich and half the sky in the south of the Yangtze River". Taicang people were not jealous of this, and they still focused on planting "family trees and house borders". That's why people like Wei Liangfu devoted themselves to counting After ten years of collecting and summarizing the local Kunshan tunes and combining them with Beiqu, we created the "Shuimo Diao" through processing and processing, and developed into Kunqu Opera, the "mother of a hundred operas" in Chinese art. This kind of traditional folk customs in Taicang, I have been impressed since I was very young.At that time, I stayed at the house of my godfather and godmother several times, and their doors were never locked.When it comes to the Spring Festival, ordinary people always have a lot of cakes, candies, fish, meat, chicken and ducks and other delicious things sent by relatives and friends.At that time, these things were relatively precious, and they were the main possessions of common people.But the houses of my relatives in Taicang and my godfather and godmother are basically open day and night, and it seems that they rarely hear of any theft.Even in the 1990s, when I occasionally went back to my hometown to visit my aunts, aunts, and godfathers and godmothers, I still saw them maintain the habit of "unlocking the lock at night".In the past ten years, there have been too many migrant workers near Shanghai and Suzhou, and the social security has deteriorated, but Taicang still maintains the atmosphere of "one side is safe".It's not that those wandering thieves don't come to Taicang to commit crimes, but that once they enter Taicang, it's very difficult to get them, because Taicang has established a complete set of modern security system from towns to every village, and makes petty thieves extremely vulnerable. The fearful team of "protecting village wives". "In general theft cases, it takes no more than two hours from reporting to the police to solving the case." A policeman from the Taicang public security department said so.I was very surprised, and asked if it was an exaggeration, was there any special equipment?He said: "It is definitely not an exaggeration. It is true that there are some equipment, but it is more because we rely on the 'eye of the sky' to help..." What is the "eye of the sky"?Electronic probe? "Yes, but not all." The Taicang policeman smiled and did not answer.I asked Secretary Pu again, and he answered me: "Our goal is to build Taicang into the safest city in the Yangtze River Delta. The reason why Taicang is called Taicang means the granary of peace and the paradise of happiness. Now we It is about building a 'Safe Taicang'." The result of the first thing has already been said, in places where an inch of land is like gold, there are fewer people and the land is vacated. Taicang now has more than 500,000 mu of usable land, which has become the most potentially valuable "treasury" of this small city. ". The second thing - the result of "Safe Taicang" is another kind of "coffer" that makes the rich and tycoons in the world drool the most. In Taicang, there is an old German man named Kloster. His reputation is no less than that of the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee. Everyone in Taicang knows this "German old man".We all know that most of the developed countries in the world are in Europe, and among the Europeans, the Germans can be regarded as "the upper class". "Codename". In a certain month at the end of last century, Kloster came to China.Like other Germans, he began to notice the rise of the eastern powers. Compared with the stagnant Germany and Europe, Kloster felt that investment should be transferred to China, a place with great development prospects.However, in the consciousness of most Germans and Europeans, China still lacks a good cultural environment and a beautiful natural environment. In their view, all developing countries are "messy" and unbearable places to stand on.But because of the huge business temptation, they had to "cover their noses" and come to China - Kloster is one of them. He first came to Shenzhen and then to Shanghai.In Kloster's words, he was intoxicated by the great development of Shenzhen and Shanghai, but he didn't want to spend money to invest in these places while intoxicated.There may be only one reason: many parts of China that are developing very fast are not really attractive to Europeans.One day Kloster heard someone say that Taicang in the "suburbs of Shanghai" is good, so he can go and have a look.So Kloster came out of the prosperous and noisy Shanghai... "Please get off, sir!" Krost was invited to get off after only a few tens of minutes away. "This place is very similar to my hometown!" Kloster looked at the small town surrounded by greenery, the clean and tidy roads, the peaceful and quiet residential houses inlaid with blue and white, and the streets and alleys with a leisurely and happy face. The pedestrian with a modest smile on his face couldn't help sighing in amazement. After visiting small towns and villages, swimming through temples and ports along the Yangtze River, and eating authentic Taicang local dishes and the famous fresh puffer fish in Liuhe Estuary with relish, Kloster suddenly said to his master: "The new home I am looking for This is it!" So Kloster stayed in Taicang, together with his funds. "I like Taicang so much! There are few people, it is very hygienic, the infrastructure is good, the roads are spacious, and it is close to Shanghai and Suzhou. The town here is the same as my hometown in Germany. It is not big, but there are no modern facilities. The most important thing is that the people in Taicang are calm, peaceful, kind, and enthusiastic. I like swimming and playing tennis, as well as classical music, and I am also interested in Chinese Kung Fu. Taicang has them all, and there is also the Yangtze River and the refreshing The air and the evergreen and ever-bright flowers and trees, so I really like it here..." When Kloster talked about Taicang, it was like talking about his hometown of Germany. The beauty and comfort of Taicang made Kloster stay in Taicang for 8 years. In 2004, he reached the retirement age of 65.Germany is a country that pays attention to welfare. Generally, people who have reached the retirement age will choose a lifestyle of freedom and peace in their old age.But Kloster was an exception. His feelings for Taicang made him change the unique character of the Germans. He stayed in Taicang and did something that both the Taicang people and the Germans were very grateful to him——Kloster A consulting company has been registered with the Taicang Industrial and Commercial Department. The whole business scope of this company is to help German companies invest in Taicang.From then on, this gray-haired, strong German old man shuttled between Taicang, China and Germany from time to time, becoming Taicang's "investment ambassador".Over the past few years, nearly 20 German-funded enterprises have invested and settled in Taicang through the introduction of Mr. Kloster.Some of them are well-known multinational companies in the world, such as Nike and so on.By the way: Nike's initial investment was 30 million US dollars, and then continued to expand, and finally even moved the global sales headquarters to Taicang; now it is the second largest tax-paying foreign-funded enterprise in Suzhou. Kloster has made special contributions to the development of Taicang, and he regards Taicang as his second hometown.The people of Taicang thanked this honest and hardworking German old man, and always regarded him as Taicang's "family member". Suzhou and Taicang awarded Mr. Kloster "Honorary Citizen" and "May 1st Labor Medal". This honor is deserved by Kloster, but it is also the highest honor awarded by Taicang people themselves - because they rely on the concept of scientific development to realize a project that entrepreneurs in the most developed countries and regions in the world fall in love with. The possibility of this land makes modern Taicang even more golden... A Suzhou official told me an interesting fact: In Singapore, Singaporeans all know that there is a Suzhou in China; in Taiwan, Taiwanese all know Kunshan, and even compare Kunshan to the second hometown of Taiwanese; I don't know Suzhou, but I know Taicang in China - "Taicang, a beautiful city by the sea". This is because today Taicang is the city with the largest number of German-funded enterprises in China and the most concentrated, so Taicang's reputation in Germany is very high, even surpassing Beijing and Shanghai.Taicang people are very proud of this.In fact, I know that people in Taicang are proud of the fact that German-funded enterprises are generally modern international enterprises with particularly high added value, occupying a small area, high output, and good returns, so Taicang has benefited a lot.For example, German-funded enterprises pay attention to personnel training and have high requirements for the quality of their technicians: workers entering the factory must undergo training, and some even have to go through several years of training before entering the factory.This allows local youths in Taicang to gain two-way benefits by being recruited into German-funded enterprises-not only have jobs that earn a lot of money, but also have excellent skills that will benefit them for life. The famous physicist Wu Jianxiong was born in Liuhe, Taicang. He had returned to this beautiful land of his hometown from abroad several times during his lifetime.After her death, Taicang changed the middle school in her hometown to Jianxiong Vocational and Technical College.This college with unique architectural style is located in a small town by the Yangtze River, covering an area of ​​more than 500 mu, and the Taicang Municipal Government invested more than 500 million yuan.Now there are more than 4,500 students in the school, and the students are not only local, but also many from other parts of Jiangsu. There are 21 majors in total.The rapid establishment of German-funded enterprises in Taicang has made this vocational technical college useful. Now the college trains a group of technical trainees for German-funded enterprises every year, and the training costs of these students are all paid by German companies. "Students generally have to sign a five-year service period after entering a German-funded enterprise. So far, none of the students trained by us have left the German-funded enterprise after entering the German-funded enterprise. Most of these students have become the backbone of the enterprise. It is a big shock to us Chinese companies that German-funded enterprises attach so much importance to technical training of employees. A German entrepreneur once said to us: "You have a lot of expressways in China, but the quality is not good. One of the reasons is road construction. The skills of skilled workers are not enough, while the situation in Germany is the opposite. Schaeffler is a well-known company in Germany, and now it is investing in Taicang. They have their own training center, which cost tens of millions of yuan, and the students they recruit are all Chinese. On average, each trainee spends 50,000 to 60,000 yuan on training. They think this kind of training is necessary, and there is such a concept in the hearts of German entrepreneurs: the technicians of the enterprise are the basis for the survival and development of the enterprise. Taicang can become a German enterprise The main foothold in China is first of all because they have taken a fancy to our land, and German-funded enterprises attach importance to the training of technicians, which has greatly improved the quality of a large number of Chinese workers working in German-funded enterprises, and at the same time It has promoted the development of our local secondary education towards the goal of training students in a vocational and technical way, so it has also promoted the training of technical talents for local enterprises. Take our Jianxiong Vocational and Technical College as an example, now half of our students are oriented training for local enterprises students, most of them are private enterprises." Secretary Chen of the college introduced. When I came out of Jianxiong Vocational and Technical College that day, I happened to walk to the industrial park of a German-funded enterprise, and took a brief tour by the way.The place is not big, more than ten square kilometers. Except for the manufacturing companies such as "Volkswagen" and "Schaeffler", most German-funded enterprises occupy a small area, but they pay very high taxes to the local government every year. The reason is that most German-funded enterprises are non-labour-intensive enterprises. Taicang adheres to the concept of scientific development and has attracted enterprises from European developed countries represented by Germany to invest here. At the same time, these non-labor-intensive foreign-funded enterprises have realized the development goals of less land occupation, less pollution, and higher taxes for the local area.使得太仓后劲勃发。 “金太仓，银嘉定，铜常熟，铁崇明，豆腐吴江，叫化子昆山……”这是我小时候就知道的一串顺口溜。几十年过去了，现在的情况发生了很大变化：昆山因为“自费开发区”吸引台资走出了一条外向型发展道路，成为全国百强县之首，从“叫化子昆山”一跃成为“钻石昆山”；常熟实力一向比较强，这些年民营企业的发展走在了全省前列，“铜常熟”变成了“翡翠常熟”；“豆腐吴江”现在也了不得，彻底告别了水做豆腐的穷酸相，成为靓丽的“锦绣吴江”；而太仓的发展则始终保持着自己有板有眼、不乱阵脚的风度，因此它的“金太仓”地位没有改变，倒是由于科学发展观的理念早在执政者和民众中深入扎根，所以他们的社会进步始终处在一步一个脚印、一步一个台阶的理性发展势态，“金太仓”的金光也越来越显得耀眼。 然而太仓的真正亮点还在它的港口。 比起张家港，太仓的浏河港口无论从历史和所处的地理位置来讲都比前者要强得多。浏河港口现在已经正式更名为太仓港。历史上的太仓港正如前面所言，早在元代就是大中华的“第一码头”，明朝永乐年间因郑和在此下西洋更是名扬天下。只是后来上海滩、吴淞口在中华版图上出现后，才使上海港抢了太仓港的风头。改革开放之风吹拂神州大地，港口作用越显重要，于是昔日风光数百年的太仓港再度被有识之士纳入视野…… “太仓的发展，不能不说是依靠了几届领导的叠加式的发展眼光和敏锐的战略思路。”老前辈、曾任两届太仓人大常委会副主任的陆冬权数说太仓近几十年的发展史时，给了我一个十分清晰的轮廓，“我们太仓，旧时就是皇帝的米粮仓。新中国成立后，太仓向国家上缴的粮食在苏州各县中也是人均水平最高的一个县。乡镇企业上来后的80年代，我们的乡镇企业水平也高于昆山。后来昆山人胆子大，搞了自费开发区，一下子把太仓和其他兄弟县市甩在了后面。当时我就曾向县领导讲过：昆山与太仓不一样，他们搞开发区可以，因为他们的水塘地多，有足够的空闲地。我们太仓是旱地多，好地多，要搞也得搞'巴掌型'的经济，一巴掌也能打得响，两巴掌更好。人家昆山是'拳头型'，一个拳头就非常有力量，而且若干年后确实证明了'拳头'胜过了'巴掌'。1988年，我已经到了人大工作。县领导班子开始研究太仓的发展思路时，首先想到了港口问题，于是派我为组长，到上海、南通、张家港等地调研。上海的同志建议：你们太仓有建港口的条件，可以先从小码头做起，先搞个3000吨码头。我回来向县里写了一个建港的报告，县委当即表态要搞。没多长时间，昆山的副书记周振球调到太仓。他一上来就主张搞太仓经济开发区，就是现在我们的太仓开发区，前身叫'娄东新区'，按照昆山模式进行的，并成立了一个开发指挥部，我也被调去工作。当时新区的规划起步是4平方公里，远景为12.5平方公里，请了上海同济大学专家来设计。当时县委的这一决策开拓了太仓发展的新思路。1993年太仓撤县建市，港区建设正式开始起步。中间我有一段时间被派到陕西当'交流干部'。回太仓后被调到港区任常务副指挥，负责开发。当时其实还只是一个初步的蓝图，除了划一块地外，基本上还是一张白纸：整个港口开发区只有一座桥，一个码头——是石化专用码头，而且刚刚开始在打桩，其余是一片荒地……太仓市委、市政府这回对港口开发有了大手笔，一下子推翻了原来的规划图，重新画了一个80平方公里面积的大港区。当我再次到同济大学去请专家设计时，上海人一听就叫了起来：你们太仓人想干啥？我们上海市区也才几百平方公里，你们一下要搞80平方公里的港区？是不是脑子进水了呀？于是我们只好解释：太仓沿长江有几十公里长的岸线，如果稍往纵深延伸4公里，加起来就是100多平方公里了，这不正好可以建一个大港区嘛。上海人将信将疑地帮我们弄了一个新规划图。最后报到省里，审批下来的是一个6平方公里的港区开发'启动区'，即现在的太仓港口的石化码头那部分。之后我们又请了交通部规划设计院设计，这一次规划将太仓港区扩大到20多平方公里。实际上这个面积是太仓港口规划图，其中包括了石化码头、集装箱码头和干散货码头，共计23平方公里。至此新太仓港基本形成。1996年，我们的港口被国家批准为一类港口，进入真正意义上的港口发展快速通道……” 在太仓采访时，不少太仓人告诉我，太仓港口的真正发展是与市委、市政府的正确决策有着直接关系，同时还与中央和江苏省委、省政府领导的高度关注有着密不可分的关系。回良玉同志任省委书记和国务院副总理期间都曾到过太仓港，他对太仓港给予的关注和支持使得这个老港口得以换新貌。李源潮同志出任省委书记后，更是给予了特别的关注和具体的指导，并且先后多次到太仓港现场办公。梁保华就不用说了，他出大学门后就在太仓工作，搞新闻出身的他对太仓和太仓港情有独钟。他认为，太仓港的战略意义不仅仅限于太仓和苏州，太仓和太仓港还是江苏全省的江尾海头的战略重镇。 上面这些都很重要，但太仓港近年得以迅速发展并成为上海港边的另一个新兴大港，是与另一个太仓人有直接关系的，他就是后来出任港区管委会主任的高阳。 高阳最先是在太仓名镇鹿河成名的。 地处长江与大海交汇之处的鹿河镇注定是个有争议和有风浪的地方，高阳就在这里扬起了他的命运之帆。这位曾在解放军总政治部工作过的文职军人，身上却有一股武将之气。转业到老家后，没多久就被任命为鹿河镇党委书记。那是1990年的事。那时正值苏州市乡镇企业大发展的时期，各路神仙，各显神通，高阳自然不甘下风。像毗邻的张家港秦振华一样，他上任初始就在干部大会上“高扬”起了“四有四要”：有第一要争，有红旗要夺，有排头兵要占，有高峰要攀。 高阳唱高调——鹿河人第一次对新任书记有这样的印象。 “鹿河地方小，但我们有一个太仓的纺织企业大单位——麻纺总厂。麻纺总厂不兴旺，鹿河镇经济就少有雄风！所以鹿河镇要振兴，必先振兴麻纺厂！”高阳又在唱高调。 怎么干？鹿河在高阳去之前已经成为全太仓的五个困难乡之一，“背水一战呗！”高阳说。 他用的是军人作战的术语。 “背水一战”在江海交汇之处的鹿河颇有现场感。于是麻纺总厂在负债情况下一举投资450万元，很快以万锭规模使得全厂满负荷生产……麻纺总厂活了，全镇工业当年就实现扭亏为盈。 饮马长江水，高阳出奇兵。 “长江为什么奔腾不息？是因为它有向往大海的胸怀。鹿河经济要腾飞，我们不能光站在江海之汇处转，必须把目光放到鹿河之外的地方。”高阳说。于是全镇的经济战略转移开始了——外向型发展思路开始真正起步。 “雅鹿服装”是鹿河的一个名牌，如今不仅在太仓，在全国也是驰名品牌。它就在鹿河镇，就是在高阳的战略思路中被聚焦闪光的一个企业。 国家纺织部长参观后高兴地称其为“飞舞的小龙”——鹿河镇从此成为太仓乃至苏州和全国纺织业中的一条“飞舞的小龙”。 周振球书记慧眼识高阳。两人在如何把太仓经济搞上去的问题上有特别的共识——必须走出封闭圈子，向外向型经济发展！ “你在小镇上已再难有发挥余地了，该到大风大浪中搏杀了！”周振球在确定港区建设新思路后，有一天悄悄对高阳说。 后来高阳真的被任命为太仓港“一把手”。 “高阳到港区工作后就有了一个大手笔和一个好运气：国家头号运输公司——中运公司看中了我们的太仓港！”老前辈陆冬权回忆说。 中运公司是运输业界的“大块头”，他们的到来使太仓港的分量一下子变得重起来。 “OK！这是一个可以建成世界级大港的地方，我太喜欢这里了！”说这话的是黑格先生，他曾是美国的国务卿，也是中运公司的顾问。1994年老黑格站在长江与大海交汇的太仓港时，忽朝东、忽向西，前后来回眺望了半天后发出如此感慨，末了他说了一句令太仓人喜出望外的话，“这块地方很好，我会介绍许多美国公司到这里来投资的。” 后来美孚公司真的来了。 后来阿莫克公司也跟来了。 还有路雪、和承、特灵、慧鱼、西门子等等许多世界著名的大公司都来了。 太仓港自己也慢慢变成了港口行业的“大块头”。现今它的年货物吞吐量已达1亿吨，属于世界级大港口。 为什么常听说那些沿江沿海的城市都在喊“以港兴市”？根本原因就在于通过建设港口可以使一个城市和一个地区的经济跃上新台阶。太仓现在因为有了一个世界级大港，所以“金太仓”的地位更加牢固，就好比金色太阳被托到了一个更高的高度而金光万丈！ 太仓港如今在苏州市、在江苏省都是无与伦比的大港，它的地理优势和天然良港的自然条件及决策者的战略得当，使得它雄风大展，风流倜傥。 因为港口，太仓才有了影响和决定地区经济的“两区”——港区和新区，这是新太仓的重要经济板块，或者说是太仓腾飞的一对翅膀。太仓人很怀念那些曾经改变过太仓面貌的历史性人物。除周振球外，他们认为本地出身的徐建明书记和从吴江调过来的程惠明书记对太仓都有过历史性的特殊贡献。前者年轻，思想活跃，尤其是在改变太仓传统的机制问题上工作力度很大，使得政府部门的职能和主观能动性都得到了极致的发挥，最得益的是太仓的广大农民。后一位干实事，也能苦干。程惠明接手太仓时正处太仓面临宏观经济的政策调整阶段，为了把客商引进“两区”，他每年初八就带着机关干部到温州等地招商。五年下来，诸多国内外大企业纷纷入驻太仓，使太仓在万马奔腾的苏州有了响当当的“话语权”。 太仓干部现在到苏州开会，甚至到省里开会都可以扬眉吐气地往前坐了——坐在昆山、张家港、常熟和吴江干部的同一排位置上，而且有时还能坐在这些“虎大哥”的前面。 “哎，老浦，最近你们的眼睛老往东望，又有什么好事分点我们嘛！别那么小气好吗？”现在，“虎大哥”们时常逮住开会空档，拉住太仓书记浦荣皋。 这当口，始终有点腼腆的浦荣皋总是腼腆地笑笑，答：“哪有嘛！我们是小太仓，怎敢与各位老大哥比试。” “老浦面相老实，其实他最狡猾。”“老大哥”们没辙，只好扔下一句损话。 浦荣皋着急了，赶忙拉住列位，连声说：“事情是有，只是才刚刚开始。本来我就想听听诸位老大哥们的意见，帮咱太仓出出高招的。” “哈哈……看看，老浦和太仓现在风头出足，上海人都得买他三分账。” “哪敢嘛！我们充其量也只能做做上海的后花园、第二办公室、后拖船……搞些小打小闹。”浦荣皋还是不紧不慢地说。 “好你个老浦啊，这上海的后花园、第二办公室、后拖船……还叫小打小闹？” “嘿嘿，你们就别取笑咱好吗，列位老大哥早已风光数载，我们小太仓才刚刚有些春色。等满园姹紫嫣红时，一定请大家共享。” "Okay, it's a deal." "It's a deal." 浦荣皋知道：在苏州地面上能成一方“诸侯”者绝非等闲之辈。曾在苏州市府里当过副秘书长的他深谙此道。 苏州人讲求面子，除了秦振华这头北方性格的狮子，一般的干部不会事情还没有做好就先嚷嚷的。即使做得已经“成果辉煌”，也还在外人面前装出一副“马马虎虎”的样子。 浦荣皋在太仓当过数年市长，又有几年书记的经历，前后七八年了，这一套本领他已经炼到了炉火纯青的地步。 “太仓这个地方，历史悠久，人文荟萃，而且读书人和干事的人比较'海派'——受江与海的影响大。'文革'期间又是重灾区，林彪、叶群亲自插手的'洪泾经验'曾经风靡一时，政治后果很严重。可太仓人总体上受农耕思想影响更深、更多。历朝历代的读书人又多，人聪明，但聪明的人往往更需要解放思想。比如说我们的城市建设，过去市区就只有一条人民路，再没有第二条超过五六百米长的大街了。这是老太仓的形象，多少年如一日，没什么变化，直到上世纪90年代前还是这个模样。我到太仓后第一件事是在历任领导的基础上，抓了继续解放思想，破除了凡事不求人的'小壮蟹'意识和过温饱小日子安逸的思想。特别是在发展思路上进一步完善了战略方向，这就是我们常说的太仓的两篇'文章'：以港兴市和接轨上海，其实这两篇'文章'的实质和核心内容还是一件事，即太仓怎么依靠上海优势，实现自己的发展目标。过去在极左思潮影响的年代，我们不敢东张西望。改革开放了，处在江海交汇处的太仓，这时突然发现自己既是江尾海头（长江的尾处、东海的头首），同时又是江头海尾（江苏的头首、上海的尾处）。以往我们只把上海看做别人的上海，后来发现我们太仓的经济和所有发展的大思路其实都离不开上海。离开了上海就没有了大平台，就没有了大战场。就说港口吧，我们的太仓港现在基本上已经成为上海港的配套港口。特别是上海洋山港建成后，它的辐射面已是后揽整个长江三角洲、前接世界五湖四海，其吞吐量、影响力前所未有，我们太仓港无法脱离这样的超级航母。而像洋山港这样的超级航母又同样需要在陆路和出航间有若干块跳板及浮栈，我们太仓港就是洋山港不可多得的跳板与浮栈。为此我们开始从根本上调整自己的发展定位，在太仓港和洋山港之间开辟了'水上巴士'，使我国进出口重地的长江三角洲众多出出进进的货物都能通过我们太仓港与洋山港之间的'水上巴士'获得最便宜、最快捷的服务。太仓港近年吞吐量翻倍地增加，一跃成为世界级大港口就是靠的自觉自愿承接洋山港的风和日丽与惊涛骇浪……” 太仓人的这一着，使得他们获益匪浅。上海人也很满意，因为在区域和土地面积受到很大局限的地方要想把“文章”做得在世界上独一无二，没有舒展本领的空间是万不可能的。如今上海洋山港和原有的吴淞港口加起来已经达到年吞吐量5.6亿吨，位居世界第一。上海人笑眯眯，太仓人跟着也笑眯眯。 “上海可以没有太仓，太仓绝不能没有上海。”这话是浦荣皋说的。太仓人说它是“浦氏名言”。浦荣皋自当太仓市长及后来当书记后，这话一直挂在他嘴边。 “昆山如今发展走在苏州各市县的前面，很大程度上取决于当年吴克铨等领导同志率先认识到依托上海做文章的战略思路。太仓的发展靠什么？说白了，还是要走昆山之路。但同样走依托上海发展自我的道路，我们比昆山更具优势，因为太仓有昆山没有的港口，有比昆山更肥沃的土地和与上海更贴近的邻居关系。2003年之前，我们太仓与上海也有接轨的行为，但那时基本上属于自然接轨，靠的是地理位置上的邻居关系。之后我们政府专门成立了一个'接轨上海领导小组'，我亲自任过组长。这一小组的成立，使得'接轨上海'成了全市工作的一种战略行为，同时在具体操作上成为政府部门的一种职能，大大增强了它的执行力度。从此开始进入了由自然接轨到自觉接轨的崭新阶段。”我发现，浦荣皋谈起这一问题时，眼睛是发亮的。 “这是高水平、宽领域、全方位的合作与对接。”他的声调高出几个分贝。 What is Shanghai?上海对于太仓来说何止是邻居，那是天，大到你能想象得到的东西那里都有；那是地，傍在它身上就像踩在巨人的肩膀上——太仓人这么看待上海。 “我们这儿到上海的人民广场40公里，到虹桥机场是40分钟。我们到上海办事，不会住在那里。常常是我们找上海人办事，办完事我们就很快回到了自己的家，而上海人自己却还没有到家。过去太仓人受'左'的思想影响，不愿把自己的这块宝地奉献出来给上海人一起享用，现在我们愿意主动奉献出来给大上海作后花园，作卫星城。 “上海人在城里住久了，喜欢到乡下来吸点清新空气；上海人住惯了拥挤的弄堂和摩天大楼，喜欢到乡下住一住面积宽敞、宅前宅后有竹园、有花园、有小桥流水的平房、别墅；上海市区的房价很贵，想便宜一些的房子在城里难买到，我们太仓有。浏河镇与上海的嘉定一河之隔，房价却便宜一半。于是我们就在浏河镇上兴建适合上海人居住的房子，而且连电话号码也可以用上海区号（昆山花桥开发区也用上了上海电话区号——笔者注）。总之，现在我们的太仓既是苏州和江苏的太仓，又是上海和上海人的太仓……” 浦荣皋的这番话意味深长。如果在二三十年前太仓的书记敢说这样的话，那么他的乌纱帽肯定不会戴太久。如今不一样，苏州市和江苏省的领导听这话后不仅表情没有尴尬，反而露出了欣慰，道：“你太仓能够跟上海搞得热乎，我们高兴！” “苏州发展离不开上海呵！”苏州领导说。 “江苏发展同样需要上海！”江苏领导说。 “太仓发展更不能没有上海。”太仓干部现在都这么说。 “在'十一五'规划中，我们太仓完成五大基地的构建，即：一是上海制造业的转移基地，二是自主创新的扩散基地，三是国际航行中心的配套基地，四是休闲旅游度假基地，五是上海服务业的转移基地。这五大基地无一例外地都是为了接轨和服务于上海而确定的战略。上海作为国际金融和航运、海运中心，它的商务成本越来越高。我们太仓正在利用地理优势和价格优势，努力使自己的城市转变角色，使其成为上海的'第二办公室'，也就是让那些总部设在上海的国内外大公司、大机构搬到太仓来办公，从而省去一半甚至更多的商务成本。另一方面，随着电子商务和现代通信业的飞速发展，国际外包业务越来越成为一种新兴产业，太仓作为上海的卫星城和后花园，我们正在承接越来越多的外包业务。可以预料的是：太仓的未来将真正成为上海的经济和社会发展的一部分，并与之一起腾飞……”浦荣皋肯定地说。 “太仓、太仓，它必须是人和仓满，风平浪静，景色迷人。我们正是按着这一目标和方向在建设自己的家园，所以太仓才形成了今天后来居上、小船载黄金、富足又和谐的经济发展与社会进步的格局。”浦荣皋再三邀我有空在他的地盘上“多住住”。 说实话，一旦在太仓住下，我就不会再想回北京了……因为那是真正的天堂，连爱挑剔的上海人都无法挑出毛病的天堂。
