Chapter 51 The World Economy 3. Flowers Bloom and Fall

3. Flowers bloom and fall

In a season when flowers bloom and fall, five terminally ill children in the terminally ill hospital have passed away. Principal Qian chose their cemetery on the sunny slope of the mountain opposite the warning mausoleum www.biquge.info Pen "Fun" Pavilion. The two cemeteries, one yin and one yang, are opposite each other, and both imply warnings.

The cemetery on the slope of Xiangyang Mountain is very simple, built in a fruit grove with peach blossoms, pear tree flowers, and pomegranate tree flowers、------。

The graves of the five children were built in a sea of flowers, which also reminds people that their lives are as short as flowers blooming and falling.

On the morning of the day of the burial, Dean Wen Jinyong led the primary school students of the Ziqiang Institute to mourn the young classmates who died of illness. Dressed in a black robe, with a cross on his chest and a Bible in his hand, Principal Qian stood at the graves of elementary school students praying for their souls.

Standing in front of the tomb, Principal Qian said very sadly: "It is very sad that you have gone in a season of flowers, five children, and I hope you can get fresh air and clean water in heaven, so that your unfortunate souls can rest in peace." He held the Bible in one hand and drew a cross on his chest with the other, saying, "Amen!"

After the prayers, the children of Ziqiang Institute laid flowers in front of the tombstones of the five children who died of illness. He Axiang's tombstone reads these words: Wish: the sky is bluer, the river is clearer, and the environment is better. These three sentences are written very ordinary, but they imply the best wishes and hopes of a young student who died of illness for the living environment of mankind.

Everyone who has been to the cemetery will be shocked in the depths of his soul, and this shock can make people more aware of the urgency of environmental protection.

Things in the world are a bit strange, when the economy is at its best, the environment is not very good, because the factories are emitting smoke and waste, and when the environment is better, the economy has entered a trough.

While the environment is improving, the world economy has entered a vicious circle. This cycle began with the financial crisis, when developed countries rushed to use unconventional monetary policy tools to inject liquidity directly into the market, that is, the first round of quantitative easing.

As a result of quantitative easing, the crisis has eased, but the Fed's balance sheet has expanded dramatically and the debt burden has increased.

In order to improve the economy, the second and third rounds of QE continued, and each QE was followed by a significant increase in debt. The result of this increase in debt ultimately affects the U.S. government, which has to raise the debt ceiling every year to keep government spending afloat.

Each QE has been like a shot in the arm, causing the economy to rebound slightly and making people look forward to the recovery of the world economy. However, this economic rebound is becoming less and less vigorous, and the time frame of the rebound is getting shorter and shorter.

Before the aftermath of the financial crisis receded, the debt crisis broke out in Europe, the economy in Japan was not doing well, and the Federal Reserve began the fourth round of quantitative easing, and the economic situation in developed countries was clouded.

During this period, developing countries have risen up to catch up and dared to be the locomotive of the world economy, driving the slow progress of the world economy. The developing countries have given full play to the advantage of being a latecomer, and the speed of their development is astonishing; it took them 30 to 40 years to accomplish what the developed countries took 100 years to do, but they are still following the old path that the developed countries have taken, but at a faster pace.

In a few years, roads in developing countries will be built in all directions, people will not be able to live in houses anymore, reservoirs and canals will be filled with water, and infrastructure construction will be almost completed.

In the days that followed, the developed countries were exhausted, and the developing countries had developed to the point where they could not do anything. The world economy has seen a new downturn, and most countries in the world have once again wielded the lever of economic stimulus in an attempt to raise hopes for the recovery of the world economy. This cycle of economic circles continues like a spell.

Bistable is the chairman of the children's bank, enterprise and network group, and as the head of the group, he has been paying attention to the trend of the world economy all the time. He stood across the wall from the front of the chairman's office, looking at the world map on the wall with a solemn expression. Faced with the cloudy world economy, he muttered to himself: "Is it true that the world economy has developed to the point where children are in charge of it?" ”
