Wu Xiaobo: What Matters Is Not Just Success.

Until now, many people still have a deep memory of Jiang Wen's confession in "Beijing people in New York": "if you love him, send him to New York, because it is

Lineage

If you hate him, send him to New York, because it is hell. "

For the Chinese who had just opened windows in the early 90s, the American dream out of the window was lit by this TV play. Jiang Wen's confession and Liu Huan's cry were the hearts of many people in that era.

But in fact, until now, the dream of emigrating to the United States is still sprouting up in many people's minds. It is reported that in 2008, a total of 40 thousand people in mainland China joined the US. In 2009, this figure rose to 65 thousand, and the number of immigrants to other countries was even larger.

So when overseas immigrants become an unavoidable public problem, we need to think about what the "Chinese" mean to China in addition to the reasons behind deep thinking and the exclamation of "how many elites are emigrating".

The success of Zhu Weizhong, a Chinese American, is not an accident. It provides an answer.

In the late 1970s and early 90s, China had had two big ones.

Migration wave

But, like the Beijing people in New York, "

East West culture

The collision caused not only pain, helplessness and hesitation, but also the cold reality and separation.

Jiang Wen finally became a rich man, but lost his wife. This kind of helplessness has left many people's hearts in a state of mind. But this is only a part of the American dream, a fragment and a story. Under the tide of history, there will always be various kinds of spray. So when I see Mr. Zhu Weizhong talking about his successful experience in the United States, I am not surprised at the wisdom of the Chinese. I believe it is another exciting wave, but it can bring different enlightenment to people.

Mr. Zhu Weizhong joined the US nationality after studying in the US in 1984. Today he is the executive vice president of the world's largest handicraft and home decoration chain store. This achievement is not a legend in today's globalisation.

Zhao Xiaolan, a former vice president of Microsoft vice president, and an elite such as Citibank global vice president Zhang Sheng man, are among the Chinese people who have boarded the position of the US Labor Secretary. Li Kaifu.

Compared with these people, Zhu is a populace inspirational temperament with more popularity.

As the book says, a doctor named Shaw Mak met a Chinese lad when he visited Nanjing in 1980. A month later, the doctor received a letter from the young man. The letter spent 2% of his monthly salary, but opened his door to the United States. The young man was Zhu Zhong.

After studying in the United States, Zhu studied diligently and worked hard for work.

While studying, carrying dishes and washing bowls, as a result, when he graduated, he still had small savings. Such scenes were familiar stories to many Chinese people, but Mr. Zhu Weizhong summed up his success factors from such ordinary stories, which is also the most dazzling flash in the book.

Judging from the angle of emigration, Mr. Zhu Weizhong has been successful, but I think it is not only this success but also the significance of overseas immigrants to China.

A commentary on immigration abroad is like this: "personal identity and the issue of identification with China have been stripped. The motherland is not only a whole concept with a high degree of cultural identity and dependence, but also a dairy farm. They like to drink milk. It does not mean that they are willing to live with their cows for a lifetime. Instead, they push milk out and take it away, and the dairy farm also benefits."

Such a view is bound to be controversial, but it may be a fact that people like Mr Zhu Weizhong who have been successful overseas have returned to China's sermon, or more people can return to China, which should have a more positive meaning.

Perhaps the Chinese will never be able to achieve achievements like Jews. From this group known as "the most intelligent nation in the world", a scientist like Einstein was born. A philosopher like Marx, an economist like Samuelson, or an entrepreneur like Andy grove, the Chinese people who only started to go to the world in 1978 could only sigh for such achievements.

Compared with such an achievement, what we should understand more is the tolerance and integration behind this achievement. Those famous celebrities are just the result of integration. Perhaps, when more Chinese are able to step onto the higher podium by their predecessors, the so-called successful experience we are discussing today will be redundant and narrow.
