Longhai, since the first year of the Republic of China, this term began to appear in newspapers again and again. Due to a railway and the changes along the route, this "special region" that was the same age as the Republic of China attracted the attention of the world from the very beginning. In the first year of the Republic of China, almost all Chinese people did not know how far the road in Longhai could go, nor did they know what impact this road would have on China.

Influence.

Five years ago, no one would think that a railway could change a country, but now, five years later, everyone no longer doubts that sometimes, a railway can indeed change a country.

The Longhai Railway, as the only cross-artery railway in China, has changed China's appearance since its construction in the past five years. With the construction of the railway, China's vast, large population and relatively backward central and western regions have developed unprecedentedly. Agricultural products and materials in the areas along the route have begun to circulate. For thousands of years, those sleeping wealth have been awakened. After the third year of the Republic of China, with the construction and development of the affiliated areas along the Longhai Railway, the central and western regions have even become the fastest-growing region in China.

Almost every Chinese, when they board the train from Lianyungang, will realize the changes that are taking place here. Along the railway, dozens of power plants input power into factories and families through connected high-voltage towers. At the same time, residents within 100 kilometers of Fangyuan also benefited. When the wealthy people in cities along the route invested in and set up factories, with the prosperity of industry and the craze of industrial investment caused by the unprecedented dividends of the war, enterprises founded by landlords and wealthy people even emerged in some villages within 100 kilometers of the route.

For the first time, there was an economic change in China. This change was not driven by cities, but by thousands of rural workshops with only a dozen workers. The emergence of factory-based "rural workshops" in the modern sense changed the appearance of rural areas along the line. It attracted a lot of surplus labor and also increased farmers' income.

For China, this change at the economic and people's livelihood level is more like a change. A change that is changing poverty and backward in the central and western regions. If five years ago, people thought that the "Longhai" was just a railway, then what people now agree more is that this region is changing this country, at least to some extent.

But the real change is by no means a change at the economic and people's livelihood level, but a subtle influence brought about by Longhai's expansion of influence, especially its success. The "quasi-government"-style management agency in the affiliated area is often a service agency, which emphasizes the supremacy of "rules" while providing services. To be precise, the supremacy of the law. Everyone is equal before the law. The affiliated council with the land renter meeting as the predecessor proves the fact that everything here is based on a stable "political environment".

Not only that, in many traditional concepts, especially the concept of "people and people", this place has also brought fundamental changes to China. Although it is also part of this old empire, since 1912, people who live here and those who come here have firmly believed that they can get a better life by hard work. That is, people must move towards prosperity through their own diligence, courage, creativity and determination, rather than relying on the assistance of specific social classes and others, because unlike other parts of this old empire, there is quite a lot of economic freedom here and the role of the government plays quite limited, which makes the social mobility here extremely great. Anyone may move towards success through their own efforts...

success!

In the past five years, this narrow area that stretches across central China, from the coast of the East China Sea to the northwest plateau, has undoubtedly been successful in all aspects, and it is this success that has changed China.

When this place proves its success again and again, when non-affiliated areas along the route also achieve certain success, while people from the outside world are jealous or appreciated, they also begin to absorb the experience here and try to replicate the success here in other areas. Five years ago, Longhai was a railway, and now, Longhai is a revelation. The revelation to this ancient empire seems to have not changed many things, but in fact, this country is changing.

Longhai, this is just a name for Wei. In fact, among the many affiliated areas along the route, the most dazzling star is Lianyungang, the leader of Longhai. This city, established on a deserted beach, has long developed into the most modern and symbolic city in China in the past five years.

This city with the tidyest planning has the widest roads, the tallest buildings, the largest ports, the largest factories, the largest workers, the richest residents... Well, of course, what is more important is that this city has a different meaning to many people.

Unlike the city in Shanghai, which is called "Adventurer's Paradise" by people from the East and the West, Lianyungang, this extremely young city, is regarded by many Chinese as a "dream city". Anyone can succeed here. The earliest national consciousness that formed China, and the most widely influenced by China, has become a "service" spirit that is now accepted by the entire country in the process of creating this city: an individual serves the country selflessly, but the premise of this service is that this person must believe from the heart that the state will definitely provide shelter for the individual and gain true dignity.

Just like the "citizens" in this city, individuals serve the company selflessly, and people do this because they believe from the bottom of their hearts that companies not only provide shelter for individuals and allow individuals to gain wealth, but also dignity and success.

This kind of "contractual cooperation" between "private and private industry" is the basis for the survival of the city. If an individual no longer believes in the company, then the city will decline. If the company cannot provide shelter for the individual, the city will also decline. It is this "contractual cooperation" that supports everything here and also changes everything here.

As many people later said when they put everything here on the whole country, the meaning of the national is simply that no matter the origin, no matter how high or low a person is, as long as one entrusts his destiny to the country, devotes himself to research, and strives to become a part of the country's team. Everyone strives to follow the same big goal, then this group of people is called the national. As for this common goal, of course, it is no longer personal success or personal wealth, but has become a more ambitious goal - it is to exchange the struggle of several generations of people for the true modernization of China's country and the dignity of the Chinese nation.

However, at this time, "contractual cooperation between private and private" has thus become "a contract between the people and the state". Of course, if this seemingly invisible contract does exist, no one will deny it. This somewhat illusory contract, which may even be ridiculed, is real. Just like in Lianyungang, no one will deny the existence of the "successful contract".

Lianyungang is the youngest modern city in China. However, no one would doubt that it is also the "most story-telling" city in China. Almost every residents living here have stories of one kind or another, but the stories here have distinct characteristics - they all achieved today's success through personal efforts. This kind of effort, without personal background, social relations, and without the support of others, is the only thing that needs is - personal hard work!...

"Successful contract!"

After coming to this city again, Shao Zhenqing, as a reporter, once again turned his attention to this city, a city that he was already very familiar to him.

The first time he came to this city, like others, was to witness the achievements here in industry and the rise of a city.

The second time, he came to this city. Like others, he was to witness how the "private" here contributed to the country and the rise of a country.

But this time, the reason why he came here was to find a news that was first discovered by a foreign American journalist in the past few months and has caused a response at home and abroad - a successful contract.

The successful contract is invisible and exists in the air here, and what Shao Zhenqing hopes to find is this invisible contract.

"Especially when a society cannot provide effective shelter for its citizens, all its classes will feel inexplicably panic."

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand and facing the questions mentioned by his friend, Huang Yuansheng expressed a fact in an extremely calm tone.

"When all classes of society fall into an inexplicable fear, then, does this country still have hope for development?"

Shaking his head and looking at Shao Zhenqing, who seemed to be a little confused, said.

"I ask, in a society where everyone lives in panic all day long, who will still remember to seek personal development and national development? The Russian poet Nekrasov wrote a narrative poem "Who can live a good life in Russia", which describes the happiness of the Russian social class after Russia implemented the "reform and opening up" policy and reformed the serf system. The author used the mouth of the story to describe the process of their search for people who "can live a good life", but in the end he found that in the reform and opening up, he found that in the reform and opening up, he described the process of their search for people who "can live a good life", but in the end he found that in the reform and opening up, he found that in the "reform and opening up," he said.

In the latter Russian Empire, no one was truly happy from the top to the bottom. The superior upper class on the surface was under pressure from the rebellion from the bottom and was under great pressure; the lower class became the victims of the so-called "reform", full of resentment. It can be said that everyone lives uneasy. Russia's reform was for the prosperity of the country. However, this reform has been going on for more than half a century, but Russia has not changed much. The most fundamental point is that everyone is panic."

Huang Yuansheng's answer exceeded Shao Zhenqing's expectations. Originally, he came here, hoping that the interview at Lianyungang would be smoother through the help of his friends, and secondly, he hoped to obtain some "insider" about the "successful contract" from him, of course, if this "insider" exists.

In fact, until now, he did not know where the basis of this so-called "success contract" lies. At the same time, he could not understand what kind of promises the people here gave to them, and what kind of help they could make the people here "easy" success, and even copy products from other places, successful. However, after he asked this question, Huang Yuansheng, the editor-in-chief of the Longhai Times, did not directly answer his question, but talked to him about another question - panic!

This is an inexplicable answer. What does panic have to do with the "successful contract"?

"Are you scared?"

Suddenly, when Shao Zhenqingyi could not understand this question, Huang Yuansheng asked back.

"I……"

At first he was stunned. Then Shao Zhenqing shook his head suddenly, and then said arrogantly.

"What am I afraid of?"

Although he was a famous reporter when he said this, there was still a hint of panic on his face, deep in his heart.

"perhaps."….

Without exposing the false words of his friend, Huang Yuansheng continued.

"In fact, the poor have the fear of the poor, and the rich have the fear of the rich. The poor are afraid of not being able to eat, can't afford to see a doctor, can't pay back the money, are worried all day long, and live without any sense of security. This has been like this for thousands of years. Many of them have become numb, but the rich in China are even more terrified: personal property cannot be protected and social security is bad. What makes them most terrified is: If the nobleman around them takes a fancy to his family business, they will be at risk of death, so everyone is anxious, for thousands of years, and in the end, even each of us has become accustomed to it. When they are numb, Dou E can only make an appeal, the common people can only hope for the blue sky, and Shen Wansan can only kill the whole family, and get used to it. When they are numb, they seem to be without panic, but in fact, they are in a panic in their bones and blood."

After picking up the wine glass and having another drink with friends, Huang Yuansheng added.

"This kind of fear is a systematic collective fear, not simply related to economic income. Systematic fear is the essence of fear. Even those nobles, even royal relatives, are they not afraid? The officials who embezzle and bribe, and take plunder seem happy, but they are also worried that one day they will be beheaded and corrected. When the emperor's words are all in the world, they are also worried that the ministers will rebel. The people will rebel..."

After explaining the "trepidation" one after another, Huang Yuansheng put down the wine glass in his hand and did not scoop the chopsticks again. Instead, he said in an extremely plain but unquestionable tone.

"You asked me before, what is the successful contract? I don't think there is an accurate answer, there are too many answers, but one thing is certain, here..."

The corners of his lips were raised lightly, and Huang Yuansheng looked at his friend seriously and said word by word.

"The first thing to do is to eliminate the panic deep in people's hearts! Treat people as humans, give people respect, and ensure that everyone has dignity to live. In this way, there will be real development here. I think this is the prerequisite for success. Otherwise, all success, whether personal or national, is just a fortress built on the beach, and it will collapse in one blow!"

Just as Shao Zhenqing was savoring this seemingly simple sentence, he saw Huang Yuansheng seemingly recalling something. Just when he had not figured out this simple sentence, he heard another sentence.

"A few years ago, when I was hired, the Prime Minister was still the chairman of the company. He once told me a word..."

As he said that, a heartfelt smile flashed across Huang Yuansheng's face.

"The people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of the people... If this day comes, then China will undoubtedly succeed, and now..."

Huang Yuansheng pointed at the street outside the hotel and looked at the bustling street with a nostalgic look.

"Now, here, the Management Committee is afraid of the citizens here..."

Huang Yuansheng smiled, his smile seemed very bright, as if he was a little proud, but more proud. At this time, Shao Zhenqing was confused, even confused.

"The people should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of the people..."

Until after a meal, this sentence continued to appear in Shao Zhenqing's mind. This sentence almost subverted all his knowledge. This...is the so-called elimination of fear, is this the basis of the "successful contract"?

"...After the construction of Lianyungang, while the construction of the Longhai Railway began, the city began to lead China's industrialization. From the first batch of immigrants who dismissed civilian army as backbone to immigrants from all over the country, they flocked to Lianyungang and the emerging industrial cities on the railway annexed land along the route. From then on, this "dream city" in the east had a brand new connotation.

During this period, many industrial and commercial giants who started their careers appeared. In addition to Li Zicheng, who was a giant crocodile who founded the ** company by relying on personal inventions, Yu Hongyu, who had successfully mined phosphorus, Song Chengjie, who produced Dutch water, and... there were too many people, but their common characteristics were: they were born in a humble origin, but through hard work and hard work, they finally founded their own huge career and became a legend in this city and even this country... "

When I got off the taxi and stood in front of the Republic Chemical Building, a translation report appeared in Shao Zhenqing's mind. This was a report by an American reporter from a domestic newspaper in the New York Times. Flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall may refer to this.

Yes!

Suddenly, Shao Zhenqing felt that he had found the answer he was looking for when he came. Now, he no longer needed to interview those people. He found the answer. This answer is very simple, so simple... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
