Reading Mr. Zhu Ziqing's Venice, I was deeply impressed by the beauty of this ancient city. However, when I closed the book, a noun suddenly jumped out: "Venice of the East", which made me speechless.
What is Venice of the East? As far as I know, Suzhou seems to be used to address Suzhou, with water, gardens and history, which seems to be very suitable for this title. But think about it, how clean the water in Venice is. Can the water in Suzhou be compared now? How well preserved are the monuments in Venice, and what about Suzhou? Except for a few gardens, Gu Xiang was demolished one by one. Wearing this hat, compared with the two, the whole is to discredit yourself.
So quietly, it seems that many people now call Zhouzhuang, Zhejiang "Venice of the East". People are proud: Zhouzhuang is environmentally friendly and the old house has not been demolished. Can this hat last forever? But the man in the hat doesn't think about it. What is the status of Venice?
It is the center of Mediterranean commerce, and its literary works include The Merchant of Venice, Hero of Byron and Gentle Serenade by Tintoretto, Titian, Canuccio and Shakespeare. These are all worth writing about in the world political, economic and cultural history. Can Zhouzhuang compete with them? This hat is too big. Looks like it was stolen from your head.
After all, pretending to be "Oriental" has a taste of acquiescence and inferiority, and puts on a rogue face in advance: What? Don't like it? Listen, I'm from the East!
This kind of address was very popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but it is rare now. Gentlemen who pay attention to robes and hats also think this hat is not suitable, but when they go out of the coat shop to change clothes, there are fewer cranes and turtles and more suits and hats.
You know, nine times out of ten people in China are ugly in suits. Either I don't know how to wear it, or it doesn't suit me, or my temperament is wrong, or it seems to be stolen. Now this hat, probably because of the matching of clothes, is a little emboldened. It is no longer called "the East", holding high the famous sign: "China's."
We have Zhongguancun, the Silicon Valley of China. Such a slogan is still an ambitious goal. But I don't understand. Why must Silicon Valley be second or even third or fourth? People have been in Silicon Valley for ten years. If you learn from others, you can't surpass them anyway, and you will always follow in others' footsteps.
In the final analysis, it is still lack of confidence. Why not find another way? When Bill Gates came to China, IT bosses flocked to the south to support him. Is it worth it? Narrow-minded, narrow-minded and short-sighted. Even if you can say a few words of "brave words", you still like to bite the bullet and punch your face to be fat.
We talked a lot after Venice. In fact, I just want to say that Suzhou, Zhouzhuang and Zhongguancun should stand firm and do well by themselves. When the eyes of the whole world can't help looking at you, those hats from the west can be thrown away.
