江西常常被外国人看作是一个相对贫困、发展前景一般的地方。2005年3月下旬我对江西的访问得出了完全不同的结论。这是一次非常有意义的经历,以至于改变了我个人在中国的商业发展战略。尽管在经济发展方面落后邻省,但江西充满新的希望、动力和活力;尽管实力不如这些邻省强大,但江西的积极性和脚踏实地的创造性不亚于任何人。江西的发展是一个激动人心的故事。它也许预示着中国的未来。 Foreigners are often regarded by foreigners as a place of relative poverty and general development prospects. In late March 2005, my visit to Jiangxi reached a completely different conclusion. This is a very meaningful experience that has changed my personal business development strategy in China. Despite backwardness in economic development, Jiangxi is full of new hope, momentum and vitality. Although its strength is not as strong as these neighboring provinces, its enthusiasm and down-to-earth creativity are as high as that of anybody. The development of Jiangxi is an exciting story. It may herald China’s future.
