The years of red flags

So the person who raised his hand took the microphone and asked: "Brother Jiang Hua, in your interview, you once said that we are now in the primary manufacturing stage. The problem is that the four Asian little dragons also started in this way. Compared with them, we have What advantages?”

Jiang Hua smiled and said: "It seems that you have studied the history of the Four Little Dragons. Do you think this is a miracle like most people? The sudden emergence of four small countries has no territorial advantage or population advantage. There was no military advantage, but they just took off and became four enviable little dragons."

The person who asked the question nodded, and Jiang Hua shook his finger: "Their economic development is indeed a miracle, shocking the world, but you are a student of Beijing University. If you don't study it in depth, it will make people laugh."

"I just mentioned industrial upgrading. Industrial upgrading will be related to another word, industrial transfer. The Four Little Dragons can develop to this day because they have also caught up with the good times. Western countries are undergoing industrial upgrading, so they need to develop some technologies that do not require high technical requirements. The industries that the Four Tigers eventually developed were all light industries, such as clothing, toys, plastic flowers, etc."

"But they also have an electronics industry."

Jiang Hua nodded: "This has to be mentioned that Western countries have a unique system called labor disputes. We also had this term when we first founded the country, which is the dispute between workers and capitalists. As the welfare of Western society gradually increases , workers are increasingly dissatisfied with the meager wages they receive, so they have disputes with capitalists about wages. Capitalists are not willing to pay workers too much, which will reduce their profits, so they have to Looking for places with relatively cheap human resources to invest, the Four Asian Tigers have completed the infrastructure construction, so it is natural for them to take over the transferred industries."

"What about us? Do we also benefit from industrial transfer?"

"This is absolutely true. We are now benefiting from industrial transfer."

"In other words, we are actually similar to the Four Little Dragons."

"No, no, no, our country owns all categories of industry. In this regard, it is many times stronger than the Four Little Dragons. We can easily build industrial chains for all industries, while the Four Little Dragons have a small land area. It is impossible to have such an advantage."

"Are there any other advantages?"

"Our country has a large population and a lot of college students graduate every year, which can provide us with a lot of high-quality talents, which is impossible to find in other countries. Many people say that we are lagging behind Western civilized society, but you see, It won’t take long for us to catch up, because our population can provide us with a continuous supply of high-quality talents. In 20 years, even the U.S. will be envious of the number of engineering talents we can graduate every year.”

Finally, Jiang Hua said: "Compared with the Four Little Dragons, their upper limit may be 1.7 meters, but our upper limit cannot be seen for the time being."

One classmate stood up and said: "Brother Jiang, our country's scientific research is now lagging behind that of Western countries, but you are full of confidence in our country's development. I want to know, what are the shortcomings that our country lacks to catch up with Western countries?"

"This question is very simple. I believe you have encountered it in scientific research."

The classmate shook his head in shock: "I can't remember. I only know that what I learned in school is very different from what those Western college students learn in school. Of course, I heard that I studied abroad. My senior brother said it, I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”

"As the old saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. Scientific research is also a war. What do we lack? We lack money. Haven't you encountered this in the experiment? You obviously want to do this experiment, and you may even do it again. , there will be a breakthrough soon, but I found that the funds for the experiment were not enough, so I had to shelve it in the end." The classmate smiled sheepishly, and a classmate shouted: "I think what you said is wrong, scientific research cannot rely on money. Yes, when we were working on the two bombs and one satellite project, we were very poor and lacked funds. Why were we still able to create good results? The spirit of hard work and simple struggle is very important."

"I didn't say that the spirit of hard work and plain fighting is not important." Jiang Hua shrugged his shoulders and said: "Our two bombs and one satellite project is indeed hard and simple, but don't forget that we haven't done enough experiments that need to be done. That's all People all over the country tightened their belts to pay for it. Although we spent less than Big Bear and Ugly Country, that amount of money was astronomical for our country at that time."

"Modern scientific research is basically made of money." Jiang Hua said with certainty: "You work day and night in the laboratory. Every experiment requires a huge amount of money. The spirit of hard work and simple struggle only requires It will allow us to spend less, but it will not allow us to spend less.”

The students applauded enthusiastically. Jiang Hua pressed his hands and asked with a smile: "If any other students have any questions, feel free to ask them. Let's just chat today. I don't like speeches, but small talk is what I like." .”

"Senior Brother Jiang, I noticed that you once worked in Chou Country, so you should know Chou Country better. Can you tell us about the shortcomings of Chou Country's society?"

"What are the social disadvantages of Ugly Country?" Jiang Hua smiled: "You are the first college student to ask me about the social disadvantages of Ugly Country in so many years. I have met many people, and most of them are envious of Ugly Country's development. You seem to be more sensible."

"The main thing is that I don't think a society only has good sides and no bad sides."

"Your point of view is very logical." Jiang Hua praised: "First of all, I dare not say that I understand the society of Ugly Country. I can only say that I know a little common sense, just like any foreigner who says he understands our country. , he must be bragging."

"How do you say it's an ugly country? You must all know its good sides, such as its strong military, strong economy, and powerful science and technology. As for its ugly side, it's hard to describe."

"for example?"

"Just like education, I think most of the families here are not prominent or wealthy."

Most of the students nodded, and some lowered their heads in embarrassment. Jiang Hua gave a thumbs up: "Don't be embarrassed, this is your honor. You can overcome difficulties and adversity and be admitted to one of the best universities in our country. This is Your supreme honor, of course, this also depends on our college entrance examination system, which gives you a fair opportunity."

“Isn’t it fair for Ugly to go to college?”

It’s the end of the month, can you spend a little more on your monthly pass? Anyway, it will be cleared next month.
