Bai Yansong: Don't forget why you set out in the first place because you have gone too far.

There are three pictures: a fellow villager is basking under the wall in the northwest, someone is playing mahjong in a tea garden in Chengdu, and there are hurried steps on the street in Shanghai. Someone asked me, which of these three pictures is happier? I said, if I am the one who is in a hurry in Shanghai, if I am not only working for my own food and clothing, but also a lot of my efforts or part of my belief is related to the poor man who is basking in the sun in the northwest, I will not feel too tired although I am in a hurry.

but if I only work for myself, there will be a lot to worry about. Chengdu is an attitude. Rich and poor people will find their own way of happiness, which is worth learning from. But I think more busy people should think about those poor people in the northwest, and they will make you happier no matter how busy you are. Sometimes when you are born in a poor and backward area, you are decades behind at birth, and it is difficult for individuals to make up for it, which needs the society to make up for it. You can't tell people born in that place, "You have to be diligent, you have to work hard". Sometimes the harder you work, the worse it is. The more diligent you are, the greater the damage to the soil and water, and the more likely it is to be desertification.

these three pictures will form another balance in general. But I don't quite agree with a sunbathing beggar who laughs at a sunbathing wealth owner and says, Aren't you sunbathing too? It's different. Our society is not yet ready to stand in the ranks of beggars and laugh at the wealth owners for basking in the sun. I don't think it will arrive soon.

Although I'm an amateur, I think China's GDP can't be lower than expected, otherwise the employment will be in a mess. I've always described China as a bicycle. Only when you ride it can you not fall down. Once you don't move, your bicycle will fall down.

Mr. Long Yongtu said that to balance, just like playing football, the speed is rhythmic. We are slowing down now because we are going to the point of being outrageous or even aggressive, so we have to go back and understand the meaning of "slow". I often mention a Mexican proverb that a group of people are walking fast and suddenly a person stops. He says, I have to wait, my soul is left behind.

One of our former producers was Chen Fu, who has passed away, but I always read a sentence from him, "Don't forget why you started because you went too far". Therefore, Chengdu is worth learning from, but before it reaches a certain level, everyone can't start playing mahjong in the sun, certainly not. This is a balanced problem, not the best one.

I went to Spain at the beginning of April one year, and we saw that all the streets in Spain were basking in the sun. I had dinner with a great reporter in Spain that night. We really admired the sunshine in Spain, and there were people basking in the sun everywhere.

I didn't expect this reporter to strike the table and be anxious with us. The Spaniard is actually very casual and not very serious, but he is really anxious. He said, "You are all talking about sunbathing, sunbathing, sunbathing. Do you know what the unemployment rate in Spain is?" He said that the overall unemployment rate in Spain is 24%, and the young people are over 4%, which is why there are so many people basking in the sun. He said, "We are all waiting for you in China". Because the Spanish Prime Minister is coming to visit China, and China wants to buy Spanish government bonds, I will never talk about it again from that moment on, but we will still envy basking in the sun, because now we have no chance to bask in the sun at all, so this needs a balance.
