Don't be such a powerful country.

GDP exceeds 1 trillion dollars! When I was on a short business trip abroad the year before last, I heard the ambassador of the host country excitedly announce to you. Excited, excited. Some foreigners say that China will rise as a big country and compete with the United States.

That year, I went on a business trip to an African country and talked with local blacks about an aid project. It's a bit ridiculous that the other party has so many demands. This project with only $65.438 billion actually needs $2 million to complete! At that time, I was very angry and said to him: our country is not rich, and this project doesn't need that much money at all! Guess what he said? He said: I know you are not rich, but that is whether you can drive a good car and live in a big house, which is not what we care about! I tried to explain to him that this was not the case. China's GDP per capita is only $65,438+0,000. But people are very knowledgeable: 1000 US dollars per capita GDP, and people's income is at least 800 US dollars. The leaders of your country have said that according to your purchasing power, your purchasing power level is equivalent to nearly $65,438+0,000!

I don't want to argue I can't afford the money, but after returning to China, I began to pay attention to China, where I have lived for so many years.

I am ashamed to say that I have spent most of my life in Beijing. Although I know that the actual situation in China is not as good as advertised, I can't tell exactly what it is.

However, when I really feel with my heart and see with my eyes. Behind the tearful story, on the gloomy and desperate face, I saw the pain of most people. I saw with my own eyes the old man who had worked for the party all his life. Because he looked down on the disease, he signed the word "refusing treatment" with trembling hands. I personally heard the lament that laid-off workers with disabilities have no way out.

In rural areas, not even remote rural areas, I have met so-called "unfilial sons", who can't afford to pay alimony for tens of dollars and stubbornly deny their parents; I have seen children cry and ask the school to pay two days' tuition.

In Beijing, almost every day I personally see people who "risk their lives to petition" at the gates of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Bureau of Letters and Calls and other units. At the subway entrance, I met an Eighth Route Army veteran who begged for a living. On the street, I met a poor young farmer who was killed by a vegetable tyrant and a city tyrant, and asked the police for help but no one cared (I really saw it, in Beijing). In Tiantongyuan area, when night falls, groups of girls stand on the roadside waiting for selection, which makes people think of the "human flesh market" helplessly.

In the mountainous area, all the property of the whole family adds up to 1000 yuan, which is a good family. When parents heard that their daughter was working as a young lady in a hair salon outside, they just shook their heads with a wry smile: at least the whole family won't go hungry again, and they won't hide because they can't afford to pay taxes.

Of course, I have also seen a feast with infinite scenery; A high-end car with the identification number of the party, government and army is parked at the entrance of the nightclub; Hundreds of star tickets are available at every turn; Crowded commuting intersections, no one is watching, and noisy leading motorcades pass by; He didn't come to work for a few days, only when he asked him did he know that it was because the police tore his temporary residence permit, and then he was taken to Huairou to dig sand. ...

Too much, too much. I swear I heard it with my own eyes and saw it with my own eyes. And you don't need to explore it deliberately, as long as you observe it with conscience and without prejudice, you will find it. It turns out that so many things around us are related to our conscience and confidence. Countless news is being publicized, countless achievements are being publicized, China's prosperity and strength have attracted worldwide attention, and China's poverty and backwardness have become an individual phenomenon-the whole society seems to have fallen into a group lie.

Once, I met a guy who came back from Japan. This guy worships Japan and hates it. But when I teased, "Do you think Japan is good? Japan's economic growth has slowed down continuously 10 years! " He said the only thing that impressed me: "Japan's economy can still develop at a high speed, but according to my observation, they are sacrificing part of their development speed in exchange for the improvement of national welfare security." Finally, he said: "It seems that I have made a lot of money, but I don't spend much on ordinary people. It's no different from anything. This growth is worse than recession. " I don't like his words, but I must admit that some of them are true.

There are more and more high-rise buildings, golf courses, entertainment centers, aristocratic houses, banquets with a table of 10,000 yuan, luxury casinos in Macau, high-end cars and air tickets for public travel in China. In fact, these 800 million farmers have no social security, no medical security, no pension, or even no land, and the right to migrate and choose a job brought by the household registration system. A fresh life, just born, was designated as a farmer. After ten years of hardships, I finally got into the university, praying to change my life through hard work, but I ushered in the "educational industrialization" that asked for money without blinking an eye. What's more, those old people who have worked all their lives, whether in urban or rural areas, have exchanged their lives for a disease and ushered in the maw of "medical industrialization".

Prosperity, prosperity. Prosperous GDP comes from the sacrifices and tears of so many people. I can't help wondering: what is the significance of this prosperity and strength? Because you can have a strong army? There are tall buildings? And the 2008 Olympic Games?
