初识吴敬琏先生,是在1997年年初,算来已近六年。在这六年间,吴先生声名日隆,称得上是当今最有人气的经济学家之一。尤其是在去年的股市大论战中,他置身于风暴中心,几乎变成了妇孺皆知的人物。有人恨他,认为是他引致股市暴跌,让自己利益受损;也有人从心底里支持他,认为他说出了事实的真相。 First met Mr. Wu Jinglian, at the beginning of 1997, counting nearly six years. During these six years, Mr. Wu has enjoyed a reputation as one of the most popular economists in the world today. Especially during the big stock market war last year, he was at the center of the storm and almost became a woman known to all. Some people hate him for thinking that he caused the stock market to plunge so that his own interests would be damaged. Some people supported him from the bottom of his heart thinking he told the truth.
