Wang, Jian Min

Wang, Jian Min is a pitcher of baseball. He is in New York Yankee baseball team now. His perfect sinker and speed are attracted by the whole American and many countries. The most important is that he is Taiwanese.


His agent found him when he was a senior high school student. The agent went to watch the league match of teenage baseball. He saw the pitcher of the game and felt incredible so he convinced his manger to train him. The agent arranged a chain of training courses and he knew he find an a great athlete.

Wang can learn the baseball skill nad knowledge quickly. He defeated many opponents as well. One day, his boss told hom if he can win the next match. He would attend the MLB( Major League Baseball ). Many Taiwanese immigrants came to the important game in favor of Wang. They expected Wang will make another marvel.

The day, he attended the MLB, was coming. So many his supporters came to see this game. I think Wang is not only auspicious but also effort to baseball in passion. I am not surprised to his accomplishment so far. I believe that he is an example of working hard you will get your own achievement therefore. I wish our baseball development is getting strong.

TECHNOLOGY-POLLUTION

I think technology makes our world become civilized and we will further benefit from it. Technology constructs many products such as cars, ships, aircrafts, spacecraft and many kinds of vehicles. In addition, computers and the Internet were the most important inventions because for a long time, these have given us a better quality of life.

For long time ago, People even considered the earth a flat land, nowdays, the people have known the world is round because of technology. I believe technology's development is going to bring more and more knowledge for us and we can get the information from the whole world better than beore.

On the other hand, I think we have too much information about the world and neglect to protect the world. Pollution is more serious than before. The human just want the resources of the earth and exhaust so many contaminant if we don't do anything to prevent this thhing from getting worse. Our earth's environment will become dangerous than before.

Satisfaction in your job is more than money you earn

I'm really in two minds about satisfaction in my job or earning a lot of money.

First of all, there are so many reasons for finding a great occupation. The most important point is that after graguating certificate and I want to start working in a wellknown company. In my opinion, we have to take charge of my life, and and I am not alone in this opinion. Many consider a wonderful life, a great house and even a beautiful wife like a movie star.

Secondly, if I can earn a lot of money in a short time, I will do so many things. Moreover, I'll be about to travel the whole world and buy a great baseball team in the MLB. However, it could be disputed that it is too greedy and extravagant. Furthermore, if I just want to earn moneyand it's not a satisfaction working environment, I would be depress every day.

On the one hand, I would please to go to work and learn everything quickly. On the other hand, I could climb the career ladderfrom it. Nevertheless, it is not easy to find satisfaction in a job that I want. Unfortunately, another point is that, in Taiwan every parent would like our prospect to be great, especially money.

But I believe that the society is getting to take in the aspect of finding satisfaction in the job is better than earning the money.

Sun Tzu--On The Art of War

Sun Tzu was a native of Ch'i who by means of his book on the art of war secured an audience with Ho-lu, King of Wu. He was our ancestry and born one thousand years ago. Despite the dynasty it is very distant, his book, On The Art of War, still communicates many centuries and up to now, many countries have used his book in the war and economy.

For example, the Japanese seriously take care of their economy and they consider that Sun Tzu On The Art of War is the key of the victory so far. The U.S. marines all have this book and they won the war of the Gulf in forty days. More and more countries are going to study this book because whether military or finance they all have an enormous influence on the war and economy.

Sun Tzu was born in a chaostic period. His country had many civil wars so he ran away to Wu country. At this moment, he went to the countryside and to be a farmer until Wu's ministry recommend him to the King of Wu and the King commissioned him to be a general. In this general, he won so many wars. Of that, Wu country become the King of the Chinese area.

It is a pity that no nobody knows his later life and death even the historian . However, his book, The Art of War, thirteen lessons have communicated until now. No matter in China or in foregin, they all have found that this is the first strategics book in the world. I'm very proud of the Chinese ancestry which is popular on the earth and we will use this knowledge to help our country to be much better.

Athletes

I acknowledge that the best athletes need more and more practice because they have to prepare the important matches such as the Olympics for a long time. That's why the Olympics is such a significant ceremony. All the top athletes want to challenge the champion.

I think these excellent sport players still need to be supported by their government. The official commissions could make a standard to give them prizes if their performances are fantastic. The most important thing is athletes never betray their original principles.

During the match's period, you will see many circumstances believed the dynamics and they used that to find waht kind of methods they could create the most effect. Many journalists liked to make a hierarchy for them and illustrated their circumstances. The analysis is inevitable.

You must have confident to influence China--Good Article(Chinese)--

I like this article very much. It's my first time to use Chinese in my Blog because it's really fantastic. I'm sorry for my foreign friends. I think it's really good for Taiwan.

要有「我會影響中國」的信心總編輯觀點》梭羅從香港經驗看台灣機會

十年前的香港，由英國殖民政府的手中，移交到中華人民共和國手上。當時一國兩制的前景不明，香港社會人心惶惶，梭羅因而親眼見證了一波港人的移民潮；十年後的今天，香港以中國做為腹地的策略成功，經濟榮景甚至更勝殖民時期，港人出現移民回流潮，搶占經濟成長商機，梭羅也在此時此刻見證她的繁榮。這次，梭羅不只談東方之珠的今昔與未來、香港與中國關係，更談香港經驗帶給台灣的啟示。梭羅認為，香港證明了一國兩制可行，但一國兩制卻不一定是台灣的選項；而台灣如果要維繫繁榮現況，前提是必須要有面對中國的勇氣。

以下是談話摘要：《商業周刊》問（以下簡稱問）：
你曾經說過，在香港回歸之後，將不會有所謂獨立的香港經濟，它會成為中國的一部分；如今，香港回歸十週年，你正處於香港，見證她的經濟繁榮。這十年間，香港的表現，是否比你預期中來得好？
梭羅答（以下簡稱答）：我想是的。香港的表現遠比預期的來得更好。回歸十年來，香港因為改變而得利十年前，當中國即將接管（take over）香港，香港充滿悲觀的氣氛。當時有一位香港籍的企業家朋友親口告訴我，說他想移民到加拿大去。但現在，香港人不再那麼想移民了，反而有許多人移了回來。加拿大的溫哥華如今有一個全世界最空曠的中國城，就是因為原來許多取得加拿大公民資格的移民，如今紛紛回到香港賺錢。其實，香港剛被接管時，沒有人能真的知道香港未來會變成怎麼樣。那時有個爭論：「到底中國會越來越像香港，還是香港會越來越像中國？」現在看來是前者，中國越來越像香港了。

問：你會如何描述香港在這十年間的改變？
答：我第一次拜訪香港，是在西元一九五○年之前，那時香港還是以製造為主（make manufacturing），她做珠寶、做衣服，但今天，香港還剩下多少的製造業呢？她已經完全轉型為服務經濟，她有個世界級水準的機場；她提供資本市場、提供法律服務、會計，做金融服務，服務整個大中國地區。香港因為改變而得利；新加坡以全世界為腹地發展經濟，香港則以中國為腹地，提供服務。 香港已經真正成為一國兩制下的經濟體（Two economies,One government）。

中國可以無香港，但香港不能沒有中國問：在回歸的這十年間，是中國幫助香港多？還是香港幫助中國多？
答：是中國幫助香港；某些方面說來，香港為中國注入許多企業家，這些企業家承擔風險，提供就業，幫助中國；但即使沒有香港，中國還是會快速的成長。香港需要中國、中國卻不一定需要香港。

問：兩者是夥伴，還是主從的關係？
答：我想她們是夥伴，但香港對中國而言只是很小的夥伴，中國還有很多夥伴。香港有多少人？七百萬人口，而中國有十三億的人口。香港已是中國的一部分了，如果中國失敗，香港怎麼可能單獨成功呢？如果不獲得中國的支持，香港怎麼可能單獨做自己想做的事呢？相反的，中國的成功並不是因為是香港，沒有香港，中國經濟還是會成長，中國成功是因為中國內部改變了。問：你的意思是，中國大陸是香港經濟成長主要動力？答：是的。香港未來的角色，會是中國的新加坡。問：當香港經濟越來越依賴中國，會有什麼風險？答：風險是，香港能不能繼續維持目前金融服務中心的地位。我想她會的，但不會是唯一或一定是最大。洛杉磯不是紐約市，但她還是很成功。

問：上海與香港常被拿來相提並論，尤其香港人很擔心被上海取代，你怎麼看這兩地的競爭？
答：我認為這兩個城市之間的競爭關係是很健康的；而兩者並不是你輸我贏（win or lose game）的關係。就像是美國有不只一個金融中心一樣，未來的中國也不會只有一個金融中心。洛杉磯是美國西南的金融重鎮，但美國還有紐約、芝加哥、舊金山等城市，扮演不同的功能。所以中國也一樣，會有上海，會有香港，而這兩個城市會扮演不同的角色。兩岸在經濟上，採一國兩制是可行的問：十年前，香港當初回歸時，氣氛很悲觀，但現在狀況完全不一樣，這意味著，中國政府在這十年間，做對了什麼嗎？答：中國做對的是，她沒有干涉（香港）經濟，讓香港維持她的經濟自由。當時她可以選擇要讓香港變得更像中國，或讓中國更像香港，她選擇了後者。中國在經濟上採取非常柔性的手段（put soft hand in terms of economy），但在政治上強硬（put hard hand is in terms of politics）。這個方法在香港是奏效的。

問：兩岸議題在台灣一直爭議不休，目前看來並沒有解決之道；而香港則因中國而在經濟上獲益。如果台灣想要重新思索經濟政策，香港的經驗有值得台灣取法之處嗎？
答：一國兩制是可行的（works），但兩個政府是行不通的。對台灣來說，關鍵是兩個政府，經濟上，你可以實施一國兩制，甚至或許是一國三制（one country,three economies），但不可能同時（一個國家）有兩個政府。

問：你的意思是說，一國兩制在香港適用，但也許在台灣並不可行？
答：從經濟的角度來看，即使台灣經濟與香港並不類似，（一國）同時有兩個制度是可行的；但政治上，是困難的。台灣的情況與香港不同。台灣現在是獨立的狀態，假使你是台灣總統，會希望中國統治台灣嗎？雖然香港的經濟一向是獨立的，但是她一直不曾擁有過民主，過去的特首是英國任命，從來不曾選舉，因此中國政府可以對她說，你為什麼要民主，你根本不曾擁有它！但是台灣不同，台灣有民主，可以選舉，有自己的政府，這樣的制度（一國兩制）對台灣來說，政治上的改變遠比香港來得大。

問：從你的角度看來，過去十年香港實施一國兩制最大的爭議是什麼？
答：我想爭議相對是很小的。中華人民共和國要政治，而香港想要經濟。現在香港因為中國而賺了很多錢。

問：展望未來十年，你認為香港的前景是光明的嗎？
答：當然（absolutely）。只要政府不犯錯，北京政府不干涉，香港經濟可望繼續維持。而對北京來說，並沒有什麼要多加干涉的理由。

台灣早該開放，這錯失的十年很難趕上問：你同意香港與台灣是競爭者嗎？你怎麼比較兩地？
答：兩者是有一點競爭。但根本上，兩地非常不同。第一，台灣是一個國家，但香港是城市；第二，香港沒有儲蓄（no saving），中國的投資不是直接來自香港，而是香港之外；但台灣不同，有很多的儲蓄，台商是中國最大的投資者，許多台灣的資金是利用香港作為通道；第三，香港提供服務，但台灣不能，台灣是製造中心。問：台灣可以從香港成功經驗中學到些什麼？答：香港是服務中心，這是台灣必須學的。製造與服務，兩者可以並行。香港不做製造，這是她的劣勢；但相對的，台灣的劣勢是只做製造。許多台灣人希望將台北改造為服務中心（service capital），但現在的問題出在台灣政府身上。台灣執政黨非常害怕讓中國人進來，他們正在犯錯。如果說，早年企業要選擇在中國或台北上市，它們會選擇台北，因為這是資金所在的地方，如果過去台灣能夠採取開放的策略，台灣可以在中國大陸取得經濟優勢，資本與人才都會流向台灣；但台灣因為害怕中國會取而代之，沒有這麼做。如今，資金和人才已經流向中國大陸了。

問：你的意思是，台灣錯失了時機？
答：是的。台灣錯失時機，台灣也許應該在十年前就對中國開放。

問：台灣有機會趕上過去錯失的十年嗎？
答：很難。十年就是十年，失去十年是很長的時間，會造成很大的不同。

問：在什麼情況之下，台灣可以成功的轉型？台灣不夠勇敢，開放，才能掌握未來的機會答：開放台北到上海的直航，這是最佳的解決方案。為什麼不開放台北到上海的直飛班機呢？為什麼繞道香港？這麼多的人為了到上海，必須到香港轉機，讓香港賺進大筆資金。如今上海已是中國金融中心，你們不必透過香港，為什麼要經過香港？

問：那麼台灣如何掌握未來的機會？
答：開放。台灣要有「我會影響中國，而非中國會影響我」的信心。台灣應該想，「這是我們改變中國的機會」。台灣不夠勇敢（Taiwan isn't bold enough）。一直以來，台灣總是擔心會被中國擊倒（collapsed by china），但這是錯的。從資本累積的角度來看，如果說有誰會擊敗誰的話，中國會先被台灣擊倒。台灣很小，中國十三億人口，台灣只有二千三百萬，即使台灣再三倍大，相對中國還是小的。但小的經濟體自有其競爭優勢，你們應該有一個可以推動經濟（push up economy）的政府。推動經濟是政府很重要的責任。兩岸的關鍵是在台灣政府上。你們從不願與北京對談。台灣如果想要維持現況，一定要與北京坐下來談。如果不談，就只能夠猜測對方的想法。

問：你是說如果台灣政府的態度不改變，兩岸關係就不會改變？
答：就是如此。

問：統獨好像是個僵局？
答：為什麼？現況可以繼續。過去五十年台灣維持自主，未來也可以。就像是波多黎各，她不是美國的一部分，但與美國關係緊密，幾乎可以視為美國的一部分。

問：你曾經提過，國家經濟已經被全球經濟取代，在這個新時代，就台灣這麼小型的經濟體而言，有沒有什麼突圍之道？政府應該扮演的角色是什麼？
答：放手（hands off）。讓資本主義能夠發揮它的功能，讓世界運轉的是經濟與資本，並不是政府的管制。政府最重要的事是，投資教育、做基礎建設。教育仍然是經濟成功最重要的要素，沒有教育，沒有人才，就不可能掌握新經濟。要掌握人才有兩種方式，不是自己教育，就是要設法吸引受過教育的人才。即使是小經濟體，仍然可以掌握競爭優勢，挪威、瑞士都是很好的例子。

Sorrowful City

The movie what I like is called "Sorrowful City". It's by a Taiwanese director, Hou, Siao-Sian,who won a world prize for it. I'm very pround of him and very excited because this was the first time a Taiwanese production was on the world stage.

.

The story is very complicated. It describes the "February-Twenty-Eighth incident"about fifty years ago in Taiwan. All Taiwanese remember this terrible history. That was a tragic period in Taiwan when the Repubic of China retreated from China to Taiwan so the government was furious to the Communists. They execute some innocent people who support us.

.

That is the movie summary. It was incredible to produce this kind of cinema in that time but I think people have to face this event all the time. In addition, I like the main actor, Liang, Jhao-Wei, he is the best actor in Asia. I'd recommend it to everybody who like a calssic movie about the history.
