Chapter 33 The boldness of history and the emotion of poetry

After reading He Jianming's new work "My Paradise", I am deeply moved.This 550,000-word reportage can be called a huge work. It has gone through three springs and autumns from brewing to interviewing to writing.Through the great changes and historic leaps in Suzhou in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the work shows a brand new Suzhou to the world, which is quite shocking. To be honest, this book has completely overturned my traditional impression and conventional evaluation of Suzhou, and perhaps many others.When mentioning Suzhou in the past, I always thought of Wu Nong’s soft words, exquisite gardens, small bridges and flowing water, lakes and mountains, and I thought of a graceful and feminine Suzhou; It is a big mistake to stay on "yesterday" and still stop at the old version of the textbook.What He Jianming shaped is a brand-new Suzhou that was born on the historical stage of China's reform and opening up.It is a microcosm of today's China.From a series of mythical and earth-shaking changes, we can see the infinite vitality and hope of the Chinese nation and the brilliant prospect of a rising power.

Let us focus on the works and walk into Suzhou described by the author.Suzhou is a prefecture-level city with jurisdiction over Kunshan, Taicang, Changshu, Wujiang, and Zhangjiagang.In the past long years, there was no dazzling aura in the Suzhou area. The modern industrial foundation was weak, the rural economy was once withered, and the pace of development was extremely slow. Most farmers lived a "Chen Huansheng"-style life of embarrassment.So today, let me choose a few materials in the work to speak: ——Suzhou's GDP in 2008 was 45 times that of 1978 (15 times that of the whole country in the same period), which means that the current Suzhou is equivalent to 45 Suzhou 30 years ago.

——Suzhou Industrial Park is a high-tech industrial park of international level established after the 1990s. It covers an area of ​​only more than 70 square kilometers. But who can imagine that this square inch of land actually realizes a GDP of 100 million yuan every day, creating a daily fiscal revenue of 100 million yuan. ——Kunshan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, was originally the poorest "little eight child".The five county-level cities under the jurisdiction of Suzhou have also been among the top ten in the country. With 650,000 people and 927 square kilometers, the small Kunshan has an annual fiscal revenue of about 20.2 billion, which is equivalent to the annual income of some western provinces.

The reason why I value and quote this data is because it is so amazing and convincing.They have made the most authoritative interpretation of the "Suzhou Myth" in terms of overall strength, high precision, speed of getting rid of poverty, and international influence. People watched with enthusiasm and amazed. The emergence of the "Suzhou Myth", in the final analysis, is the result of hard work, wisdom, and even blood of the people of our country under the guidance of the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the scientific outlook on development. It once again eloquently proves that "reform- "Opening up" is the only correct choice made by the Chinese nation after long-term exploration, painful wandering, and paying a heavy price!The greatest progress is the emancipation of man, liberating man from the shackles of form and form!Only in this way, seemingly ordinary little people may turn into capitalized people and write a new history.In this book, on the surface, it talks about Suzhou's take-off, but in its essence, it talks about the transformation and miracle of people.The legends of thousands of ordinary Suzhou people have gathered into a large Suzhou city legend.

Therefore, the success of "My Paradise" is that it is not a memorabilia, but it provides a strong lineup of characters and depicts many vivid entrepreneurs.I believe that readers will be deeply impressed by the leaders and generals such as Gao Dezheng, Zhang Xinsheng, Wang Jinhua, Wu Kequan, and Qin Zhenhua, and will be impressed by their spirit of daring to be the first in the world.In the book, successful people in the business world also shine brilliantly. For example, Gao Dekang, who was born as a small tailor, insisted on making Bosideng a world-renowned brand; People are also surprised by Shen Wenrong and others. He may be a farmer repairing the earth, or an unknown young man, but he has finally become a "steel king".

The author of My Paradise, He Jianming, is from Suzhou. He writes about his hometown, and he has a strong sense of nostalgia, which becomes a soul-stirring emotional outflow throughout the book, constantly stirring the hearts of readers.If there is no such poetic sentiment, the appeal of this book will be greatly reduced.The author is familiar with the history and legends of his hometown, remembers the past events in his youth, and is sincerely joyful and intoxicated by the changes in the past and present.
