春意融融的四月,我从天津来到阔别八年之久的内蒙古临河——一座素有“塞外明珠”之誉的美丽小城(笔者儿时的成长地)采访。经朋友引荐,我于次日采访了临河市长周玉峰先生。周市长首先介绍了临河市的经济发展状况,接着又道出了该市面临的难题与不足,诸如各类高科技专业人才严重短缺,工业生产力相对薄弱等等。谈到这里,他建议我随他一起下乡,亲自到各乡镇看一看,说收获肯定比听他介绍生动得多,实际得多。 In April, when I was very happy, I came from Tianjin to visit the beautiful Inner Mongolia Linhe, an ancient town known as “Pearl of Severus” (the author’s childhood growth). Referral by friends, I interviewed Mr. Zhou Yufeng, mayor of Linhe the next day. Zhou Mayor first introduced Linhe’s economic development, then revealed the city’s problems and shortcomings, such as the serious shortage of various types of high-tech professionals, industrial productivity is relatively weak and so on. When it comes to this, he suggested that I go down to the countryside with him and personally go to the towns and villages to see that the harvest is certainly much more vivid than the introduction of him. It is much more practical.
