因为爷爷是地主,因为父辈们也是从乡下成长起来的,所以我从小和乡村结下了很深的感情。我十四岁去了城镇后又去了都市,后面又“狂野”地奔向“改革开放”和“经济浪潮”的“大特区”……
在2017这样一个特定的年份我在北京做一次短暂回首,是为中年的我留下一个小小的印痕。以前的岁月,我做过工人,当过老师,进过机关,也在大型国企“消磨过时光”,等等。忽然,到了今年,我好像有了些收获(当然不是银碎和铜臭方面),而是在国际社会上获得了一点影响和荣誉,甚至在地球70亿人的“联合国”中挂上了号。
联合国是一个主权国家的国际性组织,极其权威和极具影响力。青少年时期一听到“联合国”三个字就会肃然起敬,就会在脑海里呈现那些个气宇轩昂的白领的“国际主义战士们”,总之,那时的我很想去联合国这样的“王国”中“端盘子”,“送文件”,哪怕是去一个月累趴下也好——
而今,作为中国人,因为母国的强大,所以能和欧美国家这些“貌似傲慢的”绅士、贵族一起开Party,做生意,一起平起平坐地合作成立国际机构,等等。
最近这几月,欧洲人民已经充分认识到中国的强大和更加仁德,充分体察到习近平主席所倡导的“一带一路”发展战略的系列实惠,所以纷纷积极地和大中国牵手与拥抱。本月,我本人也在法国好朋友的诚邀下,共同为中国“一带一路”国家战略和国际旅游业发展做了一件具体工作,那就是:共同在联合国体系框架内创立了“国际旅游与酒店联合总会”机构,并受联合国经济和社会事务部领导。青年的轻轻一梦,却成然了中年的悠悠情怀——在联合国机构中的国际NGO组织“当头”了。
在考虑许多事和要做许多事的同时,我一直在考虑要将我的身心回归到乡村去。因为乡村的纯和美,因为我看到了欧美国家特别重视乡村的存在和发展,所以,我想回到乡下,找一个地方停下来。
找一个乡村很容易,找一个乡村停下来也很容易,但是,找一个乡村停下来安放我们的思想、情怀和事业圆点是很不容易的。今年,我又回乡扫墓了,家乡的同胞和长辈们希望留给我一小块“土地”,令我能够“叶落归根”或是衍生中国一个“族人”的血脉,这个想法很朴素也很单纯,然而,我不完全是这样想的。
回到乡村的意思是,在一个很好的自然环境中,我们远离城市喧嚣和张扬,远离环境污染和气候恶化等等不良因素,在一个简与净的乡下构建一个既可以生活又可以工作的“理想所在”。当今世界,通讯和交通都已经是很便捷了,中国的东南西北中基本上一天都能到达了,所以,为了工作和事业并不一定要挤在大城市,大城市的工作地可以是一个办事机构而已,许多工作的总部(筹划和创想总部、设计及运作总部、系统指挥总部)可以移向乡村和山水间,我,是这样想的,也是计划这样去做的,去到乡村,不管是三年或是五年……
Back to the Countryside
Because my grandfather is a landlord, my father generation also grew up in the countryside, I held profound feelings towards the countryside since my childhood. I moved to towns at the age of 14, and then cities, after that I encountered “the reform and opening-up policy” and “the economic tide” and rushed to large special zones madly...
It is to leave myself a teeny-weeny impress in my middle age to have a brief review in Beijing this year. I have been a worker, a teacher, and once worked in offices, loitered away the time in large state-owned enterprises...in the past years. However, it seems that I suddenly gained something this year(certainly not finely-divided silver and money). I laid some influence on and gained some honor from the international society and even had my name on the list of U.N., which covers 7 billion people around the world.
The United Nations is an organization formed of sovereign states and is extremely authoritative and influential. I would always be filled with deep esteem and call to my mind the “international fighters” with white collars and impressive appearance whenever I heard “the United Nations” when I was still a teenager. Then I desired to “carry plates” and “delivery documents” in the United Nations, even if only wear out for it for one month...
Now, as a Chinese man, I am able to hold parties, do businesses, establish international organizations and so on with gentlemen and nobles from European and American countries on an equal footing because our country has been more strong.
In recent months, European people have already fully realized the mightiness and more kindness of China, and fully experienced benefits from “the Belt and Road Initiatives” strategy proposed by president Xi Jinping, thus join hands and embrace with China actively in succession. During this month, I was invited by my French friend to do a specific job for China’s “the Belt and Road Initiatives” strategy and the development of international tourism, namely, to establish “International Federation of Hotel and Tourism(FIHOTO)” in the system framework of United Nations and I was invited to be a leader of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. I have been a head of the NGO organization of the United Nations - a dream from my teenage finally became a profound emotion of my middle age.
When considering there are lots of things and also many work to do, I have always thought of having my mind and body back to the countryside. Because the pureness and beauty of countryside, and because I saw European and American countries pay special attention to the existence and development of countryside, I hope to go back to the countryside and reside in somewhere.
It is easy to find a countryside and stay there. However, it is difficult for us to find a countryside to settle down our mind, emotions and establish career. This year, I returned my hometown and did tomb-sweeping again. My siblings and elders wanted to give a little “land” to me, so the falling leave is able to settle on its root or the blood of a Chinese man can be inherited. This idea is so earthy and sincere, but I don’t think so completely.
“Back to the countryside” means to keep away from unfavorable factors like the noisy and flaunt of cities, environmental pollution and climatic deterioration, and to build an ideal site for both life and work in a beautiful natural environment and a pure and clean countryside. In today’s world, we have had quick communications and transportation, we are able to fly to all directions including the east, the south, the west, the north and the midland almost in one day. So, it is not necessary to devote ourselves in big cities to compete our work and achieve a success in our career, the work place in big city is only a branch, we can move many head offices(headquarters for planning, preparing and creation; headquarters for designing and operation; headquarters for system command) to countryside, to beautiful spots, this is what I want, as well as what I plan to do, no matter for 3 or 5 years...
