第一篇：芮成钢《虚实之间》读书笔记

山东财经大学

真实的拥有，虚假的光环

——芮成钢《虚实之间》读书笔记

最近读了芮成钢的《虚实之间》这本书，本来是同学介绍，不过看着看着就被吸引了。特别是最后两章，令我很感动，所以我才想写下这读书笔记。“生命的节奏仿佛钟摆，在真假之间，虚实之间，摇摆往复。真真假假，虚虚实实。真假之间并非泾渭分明，虚实之间往往一念之差。”这是这本书名字的由来。信息量巨大，观点新锐全面，语言幽默风趣，既有芮成钢十年记者生涯对东西方文化的深刻洞悉，又有其与陆克文、基辛格、奥巴马、小布什等政要零距离接触的幕后故事。

至于芮成钢本人，个人认为其以而立之龄，有如此成就，是一位很了不起的人，特别是其睿智的一面，以及对我们中国的国际形象的推广，深深让我为之折服。在国内，我承认自己没有那样的机会出国走走，那么，我们想了解这个世界，就需要像芮成钢这样的学者来给我们展示它，这本书就是很好的媒介。更多的芮成钢的介绍，我就不说了，很多地方都有，况且其人也很知名。

作为“杰出对话者”的芮成钢，将十几年职业生涯中不同凡响的交往与访谈、台前与幕后、公众话题与私人情谊一一生动叙述。就像作者说的那样，这本书可以说是作者本人的一些纪传，当然包括一些他的成长历程在耶鲁的经历，其中也不乏对一些时事政治，经济的看法。花了半个月的时间读完了这本小散文性质的书，确实让我感觉作者是一个对世界经济，时事都有敏锐见解的人。所以这本书内容很大，我花了一个月看完这本书的，确实让我感觉作者是一个对世界经济，时事都有敏锐见解的人。我在这选取其中几点谈谈，以及我对这些观点的看法。

作为一个国际主持人，作者首先需要做的是展示一个真实的中国给世界看，所以书中作者把“把中国的故事讲好”做为第一篇。中国越来越强大，那么中国的国际形象就愈加重要。作者认为中国之所以被视为“有钱的另类”，就是因为我们对于中国的故事讲得不够好，才产生许多误解。西方人怎么看我们中国人呢？对于没有出过国的同胞来说，也只能道听途说。芮成钢说，大国很难做，西方国家总是对我们心存恐惧。我们一味站在自己立场说话，必须用国际能理解的方式才有效果。对于我们世俗化极高的汉族，很少能理解别人的宗教文化信仰，会产生很多误解西方媒体也会有许多误判。所以作者强调每一个人，在国外都需-1-

要对其他人产生良性影响，同时讲好中国的故事，才能更好的树立我们的形象。我很同意作者观点，中西方从李鸿章的外交开始，就没有真正和谐过，就像二胡和小提琴难以产生琴瑟共鸣。我们的文化与西方有极大区别，和谐更多的需要我们相互的尊重和理解。当然有的矛盾是利益问题，就不能让步了。

第二，在谈到钻石等奢侈品的时候，的确很多问题是自己没有思考过的，可以说作者给了我看待事物一个新的角度，站在我们这种层次不曾看到的。换句话说，就是我们经历的限制让我们认识不到问题的本质。南非作为世界最大的钻石开采国，其实钻石不过只是碳，但是它确实由伦敦的中心销售机构去统一控制全球市场，人为的控制造成供不应求的局面，不得不说垄断是困扰资本主义社会在古典资本主义转变时的一大难题。钻石跟黄金不一样，钻石只是为了满足人们的虚荣心。言而广之，谈到手表诸如Swatch、宝玑、欧米茄等等，虽然Swatch手表作为一款大众手表，价格在几百到千元不等，可能不及很多奢侈手表，但是诸如宝玑这些却全部都是Swatch旗下的子公司。当然在作者也说了“对于很对从来没有拥有过钻石的中国人，谈论钻石的本质，或许的确不合时宜。因为也许自己的心得本质，都还没弄清楚。”我们是全世界最大的奢侈品消费国，中国人在很多情况下真的需要奢侈品来衬托自己的地位么？我看了不是的，只是现在很多中国人都货币化了，财富成为一个人地位的基本指标，所以我们才变得如此“人傻，钱多”。

我们是学金融类专业的学生，所以我想谈作者的观点“莫让金融误国”。金融的根本目的是什么？是为了优化资源配置，是把人们闲置的钱通过金融渠道转到急需资金的企业。我的理解就是，金融应该是为实业服务的。而现在全世界的金融远远走在了实业的前面了。正如作者所说，人们不再安于踏踏实实工作，不知道金融为何物的人，也将未来定位在金融行业。作者所说，“制造业强国，实业兴国”。在我理解来说，我们学习这一块的，一定要树立一种观念，金融永远是为实业服务的，没有无实业的金融这一点很重要。

最后，说说安全感的问题。坐飞机，机场摆渡车上几个有限的座位抢手；休息室里唯一能上网的电脑成了稀缺资源。芮成钢说这都是中国人普遍缺乏安全感的表现。这些以前习以为常的举动，让作者一语道破。我们各方面资源有限，所以看病上学买房福利等等，都很缺乏安全感。我们的社会每天都在变化，就算自

己工作不错，也不能保证自己哪天会有什么不幸，明天都是未知的。大多数中国人承受着各种“不能承受之重”。生一场大病，更是倾家荡产。就算是富人也不感到安全，商场如战场，说不定哪天自己就会别人踢出去。那么西方人为什么敢花明天的钱，他们的安全感来自哪里？就如作者所说，这一切的根本来自于制度，我们的法律制度，社会保障有许多的不足之处，就算在大城市也是的，更何况中国有许多农村地区。我们努力工作是为了保证自己生活和所获得的资源，而西方人仅仅是为了更好地生活。同时，书中也说道，提升国人安全感是一个庞大的命题。我们国情如此，这个问题还需要我们更多的努力。

当然书中还有许多对我感触很深的话语，比如说：

我们要做的，只是多问自己一句：“什么才是我最想拥有的，和最不能失去的？”

不是因为做了朋友才平等，而是因为平等才能做朋友---如果不相信这一点，不践行这一点，就永远不能成为一个好的交流者。

最真实的：健康，自由，亲情。

最难的是选择：选择A往往就要放弃B。

等等…….当然还有许多内容是我所感动的，比如作者与澳大利亚前总理欧克文的友情，与亲人之间的亲情。真真切切，让人感同身受。

这本书给我最大的收获就是给了我另外一个角度看世界，在没有机会出国见识的人，要想开拓视野，只有通过这类的书，通过别人的眼睛。芮成钢的《虚实之间》就是这类中很优秀的。我看来选到一本优秀的书才是读一本书最大的成本。这本书不像有些书籍专业性那么强，也不像散文诗书那么的多愁善感，但作者芮成钢先生写的很认真，看完一章之后，让人有继续读下去的强烈愿望，这位在达沃斯“混”了10多年的杰出青年，在工作生活中有哪些感触呢？去读读这位帅气、睿智的中国青年的思想，读完之后，会有很多感触，会意识到作为人该有的某些责任。虽然这仅仅是感触，不会对你的实际行为产生多大的影响；你也并不会因为此书，就变成另外一个你。却也可以增加你的视野，改变你的思维，教会你很多不能用言语表达的东西。

第二篇：芮成钢《虚实之间》读后感（最终版）

《虚实之间》读后感

通过收听芮成钢的微博才知道他最近出了《虚实之间》这本书，鉴于此人外表颇为英俊，通过看他主持的电视节目，感觉他是一个非常睿智的人，所以买了这本书。本没打算写读后感的，可是书最后2章的内容着实感动了我，所以想记录下来:

书是直接寄到我工作的银行，当时是和《大衰退》一起购买的，虽然我一直想看大衰退，但在收到书的时候，还是被《虚实之间》的封面给吸引了，小芮着实是一位很帅气的小伙（虽然从书中得知他已经36岁，已经不能用小伙儿这个词语称呼了），扉页的照片也拍摄的非常漂亮，不愧是做媒体的，对美的审视很有水平。

刚拿到书就开始迫不及待的拆开看了，书的内容是阐述芮成钢的10多年的媒体工作经历，非要用简单的语言总结此书，就是“芮成钢人生感悟”，我阅读能力不好，理解能力更差，也不爱写东西。但每每看书之后，都想写点什么，记录点什么，或许在阅读书的时候，真把阅读书当成是与作者本人交流，听完作者的倾诉之后，总想写点什么，也算是听完作者“倾述”之后给点自己的回应。

芮成钢，名字来源于其父的一部作品《新来的小石柱》，作品主人翁大名石成钢，芮爸爸就给刚出世2个月的儿子取名芮成钢，虽未有幸看芮爸爸的这部作品，但看扉页的照片，发觉两人照片还颇为相似，石成刚更像是芮成钢的卡通版；而芮成钢估计也是因为父亲的作品原因，年轻时的发型与作品中的主人翁发型非常相似（当然现在发型更帅气了）。

澳大利亚前总理陆克文和芮成钢是好朋友，他们给彼此的称呼是：老陆，小芮。我也想用小芮这个名字称呼作者。我本就爱好给别人起小名，看完《虚实之间》觉得更重新认识了芮成钢，所以觉得用小芮亲切许多；小芮是合肥市的高考状元，曾经因为在G20首尔峰会上对话奥巴马而成为网络上搜索的热名词，我也不记得自己什么时候知道芮成钢这个人的，但肯定在那之前，就对小芮也比较感兴趣，所以就在网上查了那次“对话奥巴马”事件，当时看到网络上很多评论，好的坏的，事件的关键词就在于“代表”2个字，我看完之后没多大感触，也没做任何评论，我的态度也很中立，当然这个事件，小芮在《虚实之间》书中也做了解释，其实就是一个翻译的笔误，英文跟中文确实存在差异，很多词语在英文意思上是言简意赅的，翻译成中文就变了味。有兴趣的朋友可以去细细读下书中章节“我与奥巴马对话真相”。作品内容很简洁，很自然。作者阐述自己10多年的记者工作经历，认识了很多我们平时只能在电视上看到的政界、商界领袖人物，如：奥巴马、小布什、施瓦辛格、菅直人、拉加德、克林顿等等，讲述了很多关于他们不为人知的事情，其实这个倒是很能理解，在屏幕前和在生活中肯定是不一样的，但普通老百姓似乎更关心名人生活中的事情。这让我想起一个词：好奇害死猫。总之呢，芮成钢的记者生涯很精彩，他思想见解独到，语言犀利却也不失幽默，睿智之中不缺憨厚可爱，是一个讨人喜爱的主持人。通过他的书，能感觉到他精神层面上的、超脱物质的东西，但是却又让人看不透，深不可测。其实也没必要看透，就好比他在书中所说的“生命的节奏仿佛钟摆，在真假之间，虚实之间，摇摆往复。真真假假，虚虚实实。真假之间并非泾渭分明，虚实之间往往一念之差”，但书中阐述亲情的部分，却真真切切，我深能体会这种感觉。我的童年与小芮很像，跟外婆外公的感情很好，跟父母之间更像是朋友，而且我相信在世界上，还有很多跟我们经历很雷同的人，这也正是书中所说的“世界其实并不大，人们的喜怒哀乐共性多于个性”。好了，就到此为此吧，有兴趣的朋友可以去阅读下这本书，它虽然不像有些书籍专业性那么强，也不像散文诗书那么的多愁善感，但作者芮成钢先生写的很认真，看完一章之后，让人有继续读下去的强烈愿望，这位在达沃斯“混”了10多年的杰出青年，在工作生活中有哪些感触呢？去读读这位帅气、睿智的中国青年的思想，读完之后，会有很多感触，会意识到作为人该有的某些责任。虽然这仅仅是感触，不会对你的实际行为产生多大的影响；你也并不会因为此书，就变成另外一个你。人，总是好奇的嘛，好奇虽然可能害死猫，却也可以增加你的视野，改变你的思维，教会你很多不能用言语表达的东西。钦此。

让孩子自己做主

留住最爱的人 书中令我颇有感触的言论：

钻石跟黄金不一样，钻石只是为了满足人们的虚荣心。

不断扩招的大学向社会输送的毕业生远远超过“白领市场”就业需求，而“蓝领市场”却因工作环境差，薪酬低等原因，少人问津。

大多数中国人承受着各种“不能承受之重”。生一场大病，更是倾家荡产。

改革开放三十年，经济转型时期制造了一大批“先富起来的人”，代价是牺牲环境、牺牲能源、牺牲劳动力。然而一转眼，这些资产成了美国的，新加坡的，马来西亚的，加拿大的。对于国家来说，这就意味着以大量环境成本、人力成本，甚至健康成本置换的财富，一夜之间没了-穷人补贴富人，中国补贴世界。

与其存3万亿外汇储备，国家不如多拿些钱出来改善民生，加强社会保障，否则人民的安全感从哪里来？

有人说做人应该这样：弱时须逞强，强时须示弱。

在你最为贫贱的时候，要逞强，摆出士可杀不可辱的架势，别教人看不起；在你强大起来以后，则要提醒自己示弱，以免成为众矢之的的。

木秀于林，风必催之。

大家都赢了，谁来做输家呢？

在这场财富追逐战中，低收入人群成为时代的牺牲品，穷人活不出自己的尊严。

中国自古就有“士农工商”的说法，商人排在最后一位，没有社会地位。今天的情况却大不相同。商人的社会地位得到空前的提升（当然还是排在官位的后面），不但鲜有人再提“铜臭”二字，商人的一言一行还颇受关注，举足轻重。

我们要做的，只是多问自己一句：“什么才是我最想拥有的，和最不能失去的？” 不是因为做了朋友才平等，而是因为平等才能做朋友---如果不相信这一点，不践行这一点，就永远不能成为一个好的交流者。

有时候我们认为只有当一个公司的理念与西方接轨，它才有可能成为一个世界级的公司。商界精英们纷纷发表微博解读乔布斯传奇的一生，竞相表现自己是全中国最接近乔布斯精神世界的人。

人们不知道自己想要什么，直到你把它摆在他们面前。

我们生活在一个浮躁和急功近利的年代里，社交网络又给这浮躁和急功近利添了一把火。谣言止于智者

所谓“离群恐惧”，明知很烂也依然要去看，怕的是缺少和旁人的谈资。

名人的虚荣心是需要按摩的，说实话这力道分寸不太好拿捏。

„„这需要相当强大的心智和深厚的阅历来应付并管理。

对于作家，还是看他的文章有意思。我自己也有这个经验，有时因为认识了这个人，连他的文章也不想读了。自然伟大的作家不在此列，他们的生活和思想是一致的。不过我够不上。因为我还是希望你读我的文章。

旁若无人，死不要脸。

要得到自己想要的东西，关键时刻，职业精神一定要超越所谓的面子。

华尔街喝醉了酒，让全世界跟着头疼。

今天的行为要得到后世的评说。

“我觉得中国面临的第一大挑战是如何平衡富裕的沿海地区与落后的内陆地区的发展，如何缩小贫富差距。我们都应该在这个问题上多加思考。”—克林顿

同时听到有关一个人的两种声音，有助于我们建立批判性思维，全面客观地看待一个人，打破神化的光环。任何高端人物，也都是人而不是神。既然是人，就有两面甚至多面。

没有调查就没有发言权。

本尼迪克特著的《菊与刀》，赖孝儿写的《日本人》，都是非常精辟的著作。

今天，路易·威登的皮包哪里都能买到，而在很多城市，无论你有多少钱，也无法买到纯净的空气和湛蓝的天空。

传统观念认为，一个企业如果过多考虑到环保因素，会提升成本，影响利润，但是最新的调查显示，今早开展环保项目研究的企业反而容易增加利润。

真正的rich life，不在于你拥有多少财富，生活多么奢华，而在有你对社会做出了怎样的积极影响。

新鲜空气才是最大的奢侈品。

如果你在一年当中，每天让自己某方面的知识能力增加一点，不怕少，只要坚持，就会形成巨大的能量，生成巨大价值。正所谓大道至简，真理看上去往往都很朴素。

人在某个关键点做出的选择，会将命运引致到完全不同的方向上。

在各个不同领域之间频繁试水频繁跳槽只会令你自己的定位更加模糊。术业有专攻，才能为自己赢得权威和公信力。

拜托，给我个理由先！

演讲的目的是表面观点，说服听众接受你的观点，大原则只有一条：采用他们习惯的语言风格和思维逻辑去讲，讲得好，一点即通。

除了拉近距离，幽默对于化解尴尬也是最好的方式。

行动是克服恐惧最好的办法

人生中对爱的渴望，对知识的追求，对人类痛苦忧患的同情—罗素《三种激情》

既然学语言的根本是学一种思想，一种思维方式，就要把自己浸染在文化的环境里，要“生活和呼吸英语”

语言质量和信息深度

我不是最伟大的交流者，但我交流最伟大的内容—里根总统

在耶鲁，没有愚蠢的问题，没有完美的答案„„哪怕是一根木头，在那个班里竖上一年，也能被熏出点儿文化来。

观点的碰撞并不妨碍我们成为相互尊重的朋友。

一所名校在学术上的宽容。

你可以不赞成我的观点，但是我尊重你发言的自由。

当一场百年不遇的经济危机迎面来袭，而这场危机的源头是监管不力，此后，市场经济准则和政府该如何平衡?我的回答是：“更好的监管不是更多的监管，而是准确的监管，巧监管。如果过度监管扼杀了经济自身的动力和活力，还不如不管。”

教育是把所学的知识忘记之后，剩下的东西。

封闭导致揣测，揣测带来虚构。偶然早就传说，传说刺激现实。

当人处在责任和权力的巅峰，孤独与牺牲在所难免。

战争、苦难、历史、文明、技术、艺术、宗教、还有千万年来绵延不断的爱和恨。如果你掌握我所掌握的一切信息，你会完全同意我的观点。

烈士暮年壮心不已

人们大都以为有那么一个装着计划书的小盒子，藏在白宫的什么地方，事实上什么计划也没有。

洒脱放手，轻装前行。

究竟是因为成功才随性，还是因为随性才成功。

物质带给人的边际效应是极其有限的，快感迅速减递，相当靠不住。

人生中最宝贵的是亲情、健康和自由，这些东西是真实的，一旦失去，生活会变得不一样。而你其实一样也没有失去。

Charity begins at home.(一切美德源于家庭)家庭是塑造个性和人格的最重要的环境。我要感谢父亲母亲，为我营造了宽松的、彼此尊重的成长氛围，让我健康自信。

亲情是世界上最真实的事情，带给我们无尽的温暖和无条件的信任。有这样的爱萦绕在身边，是真正的幸福，天堂也莫过如此。这些爱，渐渐成熟的我也会心怀感激去接受，去回报。

最真实的：健康，自由，亲情。

最难的是选择：选择A往往就要放弃B。

我们都是环境的产物，常在不经意间被别人的价值观影响、渗透甚至消费。

Reading Journal 1.Something for Nothing

Chenggang Rui

Chapter one From page5to page 18

I find this book in our school library,I have began to read the book since the new semester stared.I have just finished first several chapters in the fist two weeks.The first several chapter is attractive.What impresses me most is the first Chapter,which called“A Good Narrative of China”.In this chapter the author has his own unique opinion on China.AS he puts it in the book,other nations don’t have a good impression on China,though China has developed a lot.〝Sometimes, it is our narrative that makes us misunderstood 〞, according to Rui ,our inappropriate narrative of our own country account for this phenomena.We should not always put the blame on foreigners’discrimination and prejudice.We should find fault with ourselves.This opinion not only accounts for the bad image of China in the western world but also suits for our interpersonal relationships in our daily life.If you are quarrelingwith

others,you should not speak ill of others.What you should is to find fault with yourself.Sometimes you maybe make some mistake that you did not notice;sometimes you are not wrong but your narrative is not appropriate,which makes you misunderstood by others.The reason for a quarrel is not as simple as the question who is wrong.It involves many aspects.So your narration is part and parcel of these reasons.In order to have a good interpersonal relationship with others,we should attach importance to our deeds,then we should pay much attention to our narratives.In other words, we should do our best and express ourselves correctly when we deal with different people.If you do well in this two aspects ,you will have more more friends and obtain a good relation with others.姓名：雷静

第四篇：芮成钢演讲稿

Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:

Kipling said:“ East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!” But now, a century later, they have met.They have met in business.They have met in education.They have met in the arts.Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds.We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our use.We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity?

History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.They fear that as we become “globalized”, we will no longer be Chinese.I do not agree.History teaches that a strong and confident nation is at ease in learning from the outside world.The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.But my Chinese taste appreciates good food from any land.I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young;they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance.It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural.No wonder they wanted him.The Chinese boy played his er-hu.Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air.The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music.He liked what he heard.The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn.Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit...alone.But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?

When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced...I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?

What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune.Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in the harmony.The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun.Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours.Thank you.问Thank you, contestant number 10.Now you're going to compare street markets and supermarkets.答Well, thank you very much.Um as a man who suffered from male chauvinism, I used to think that shopping is a privilege of women.I seldom do shopping until I have to.But three years ago, something happened and it changed my view.I remember it was the first day I went to college.After I had put down my luggage, I went out of the school to have a look around.It was a romantic rainy day.And guess what, I found the street market, right beside the school.And I saw lots of middle-aged men and women talking with the sellers of fruit, clothes and soft drinks and it seems to me that they were intimate friends.And then I said to myself, why not have a try.So I walked to the seller of pineapple and talked to him.And then i bought a pineapple and bargain with him and then i will eat the pineapple while wandering around the street market and enjoy the simple things of life.Thank you.问You mentioned in your first speech the importance of variety even though the east and west are converging.But many people think that one of the problems of modern life is the lack of variety.This hotel looks like every other hotel in the world and the whole world is becoming an airport.Hong Kong looks like Singapore and so on.Do you think that we may be in danger of losing the very variety that you think is so important?

答The variety.Of course I do not think so.I don't think we are losing variety.Instead ,we are, I think we are getting more varieties.Well nowadays, as i had mentioned in my speech, we have a combination of eastern and western music, food and lifestyles.Actually I, I think I read an article in Vienna and many western critic and composers feel that a western music which has traditionally emphasized on the harmony between different instruments now is becoming increasingly, it increasingly reflects eastern music style.However, the eastern music style brought them a completely new sense of music.So I don't think we are losing variety.I think we are having more varieties.And also in our daily life, I think we have more choice.It's not actually a choice between the east and west.Actually I think the choice is a combination of the two.And this doesn't necessarily mean we are losing our variety.We are updating what variety is.Thank you.问In your second speech just now about street markets.You said that you enjoyed going to the street markets.It's a peaceful life and eating pineapples.Could you say something more comparing street markets and supermarkets as regards prices and quality and choice of products, things like that.答Yes.Of course I prefer street market to super market.And actually I think ,nowadays the prices in the supermarket are becoming lower and lower to meet the demands of the people.But somehow I think people, not only Chinese people, but people from all over the world, will enjoy street markets much better.Because even though going to the supermarket will help you to get rid of a lot of the trouble of bargaining ,but somehow you lose the fun of talking with people and communicating with each other, and i think the super market just reflects one of the problems of modern society.I mean the alienation of people and their fellow man.And so I think that street market is secure to these disease or illnesses in modern society.Thank you.

East and West have met

Kipling said:“ East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!” But now, a century later, they have met.They have met in business.They have met in education.They have met in the arts.Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West, but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds.We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use.We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity?
