Weblog of Xuefei ranks top at travel catergory of the weblog. But in fact, the weblog is promoting sustainable development strategies.
It aims to become a top web on sustainable development in China.
It believes that sustainable development strategy is a key direction and main method of getting people to the road of living a better and quality life.
Sustainable development doesn't mean high figures of economic growth. It means how much that figure really means for the people. Do they have more money but buying the same amount of goods? Or do they buy shoddy products with the prices for real products?
It means people will live a balanced life between work and life and enjoy a better natural environment.
It means there will be enough pure clean drinking water without spending too much money. It means the people can find ways to improve their life and they can really do something about it.
It means the people will have the right to decide how to improve their lives with informative information and sufficient technology and resources.
It doesn't mean the rich gets richer, the poor poorer. It means the gap will be smaller and smaller or even disappear.
China has put up forward the goal of narrowing the gap between the urban and rural areas even since Mao Zedong was alive. But the gap has been bigger, not smaller. And the rich and the poor in cities also have a big gap between them.
So the challenge is to find a proper lever to measure the life of people and narrow the gap.
In the past, China implemented extreme equality policy which was so-called communism and that proved to be wrong and people's enthusiasm was low. Majority of people live in poverty.
After 1978, after reform and opening up thanks to Deng Xiaoping, many people start to work for themselves and farmers enthusiasm turned to be high and they work harder and earned more.
After 27 years of reform and opening up, China has achieved unprecedented progress in improving people's lives. People's food and clothes problems have been solved.
But does it mean the end of our task? No, when the communist party of China set up the goal of building a well-off society in an all round way, it means that CPC is determined to improve people's life quality.
It's not just about food and clothes, it's about many other things such as culture, sports, tourism, entertainment and healthy mentality. If you work your guts out and under great stress everyday and in the end forces your family breakup, that doesn't mean your life quality has improved.
As Chinese premier Wen Jiabao has said in his inauguration, if he lifts the poverty line in China a little higher to 800 Yuan which is 100 US dollars from the current 600 yuan or less than 80 US dollars a year, then Chinese people who live under poverty line will be more than doubled the present 30 million. In township and towns, new poverty appears as many people lost their jobs there and they don't have any land to plough either. It's those people who have become the minor or weak group in China.
Medicare and social security have both in a transitional period which make people have great worries about their future as China is entering a senier age society.
Once I read a netizen's words saying that he or she was crying to see that in the US the poverty line was 16000 US dollars while in China it was only 80 Dollars. True, that's gap. But again, we have to compare the real quality, but not the number or the figure itself.
As I experienced in Sweden where people have to spend 30 yuan only for a sanwich or a meal for 70 yuan in any shop or restaurant while in China you only spend 30 yuan you might order two good dishes. Of course their income is ten times of ours.
What can we do? We will work hard to achieve a relatively satisfactory life. As long as we are happy about where we are, that will be our success!!!
Sometimes I can't help thinking of life in the 1980s when we were full of hope and our life was much cheaper and poorer than now. But we were happier and we said Hello Xiaoping from the bottom of our heart.
Now we have even better life but we are not happy and we are angry sometimes. Why? Because there is lack of social justice and there is a distorted social mentality which is quite snobish and corrupted. People don't trust each other any more.
If you have no trust in your life, what a miserable life it will be? If people can't trust government, or it can't trust business, or it can't trust any individuals such as your neighbor, then what life it will be?
Can't we stop for a moment and think it over? What are we striving for? Can't we live better with proper efforts than have to be forced to work day and night without satisfaction?
Isn't it something wrong with our society? Isn't it that we are too much drive by the market force or profit-profit only culture?
Think it over, is this really what we want? Is this really what we strive for? Do we work to live or do we live for work?
I remember we asked this question in the 1980s because at that time our workload was not enough and many people work extra hours because they were so conscientious and also energetic I guess. We discussed a lot about in addition to 8 hours of workload.
I think at that time, I prefer to work more because I was young and I prefer the rule that if I work hard, I will get more.
I still think so. But the market force drives the gap between the management and workers into a big gap which hurt workers' well-being. In the long run, this is not sustainable.
And it's the government's duty or responsibility to improve the people's life.
It's the government duty to stimulate economic growth. But it's also the government's duty to put our resources on a better scale to weigh them, should we pay a high price for single figures or we pay a relatively cheap price to achieve a comprehensive development without damaging too much of our environment which are the source for further development?
Again, I like to repeat my view, the fundamental way to solve the problem is that the CPC and the government should really put people's interest into their agenda and change the leader's achievement indicaters into comprehensive ones including environment and social justice in stead of solely economic growth.
Think of the industrial pollution which caused the damage, if that price was deducted from the economic growth, I guess their progress will be substantially reduced.
