To tell the truth, in the past I was proud of the slogan “Made in China” because once China made the best tea,the best silk,the best china and when you use a a pen,when you buy a plate,even when you put on your socks,you may find the slogan “made in China”.Chinese were seen as the cleverest people in the world.But now,I am worried about the slogan “made in China”,just like what president Mao once said “We can make tables and chairs but we can not make planes and cars”,it seems that “Made in China”become making products mechanically.Why?
I heard a story.There were two workers making chairs.One person thought how to be effective everyday,although he was not as fast the first few days,he made a machine to help him doing the boring work and finally be became a manager because of his effectiveness.The other one,however,paid a lot of time making chairs,many years later he was still a chair maker.Maybe a practical chair maker.That’s a sad story because sometimes working hard doesn’t means getting most repays.Set Apple company as an example,I admit it’s really hard to supply ideas,but compared with China,does not China pays a lot too?Materials,labors,lands,enviroment ...But why an ipone 6 is 6000yuan while Chinese workers can only get 100 yuan?Maybe the reason is that we can make a phone,but we can not create an Iphone.Chinese are famous for working hard,however,if we Chinese keep imatating and making the same products without innovating,we can not develope and get a new result.
I’m seriously thinking about the reason why “made in China”means “lack of innovation”and I think the origin is our education.Since we were children,we were told what is right and what is wrong,the sky is blue the apple is red,but we have never been told why and we have never tried to change it.Now,I know that innovation and imagination can never be replaced by books and experience.
I hope that one day,when a little boy draws a blue apple,the teacher can say:GOOD JOB!Try to plant an apple tree like that in the future instead of:WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!CALL YOUR MOTHER!!!And I believe that one day “Made in China”will let we every Chinese feels proud again,and we will have more products created by ourselves!!!!。
