"Grandpa Tang, dare to ask, is the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway the Grand Canal of the year?!" Liang Jiangtao asked, his voice trembling a little.

It was only at this point that he truly understood the significance of high-speed rail.

It's definitely not just a modern means of transportation that can take off the economy quickly.

It also bears the burden of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

After it is built and used well, it will be able to make the Chinese nation river Qinghai Yan and the river map reappear in the future!

"You're right! So as soon as your grandfather told me about it, I immediately rushed back from overseas to see you! I want you to understand that the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is too important for Huaxia! Now is the best time to repair! If you repair one day late, you will be delayed for one day! Donald's eyes were blazing.

"Grandpa Tang, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is so important, is it too late to repair it now? Wouldn't it be better sooner? Liang Jiangtao asked.

"It's not late, it's just right! If it was too early, the country was not prepared, the economy was still in the accumulation period, not to mention that the railways at that time were enough, and it was not very useful to repair them! The node is to enter the 21st century, especially after joining the WTO! The whole country is in dire need of speed! There will also be more external pressure gradually! At this time, the importance of high-speed rail can be immediately revealed! It is not only a booster of the economy, but also a stabilizer of the country, and a 'weapon' to deal with external challenges! Crucial! Donald said.

"What about the maglev train?" Liang Jiangtao asked again.

"No, it's too slow! Let's not talk about whether it is possible for magnetic levitation to be commercialized, even if there is, it will take one or two decades of exploration to mature! It's too slow for Huaxia! With such a large territory as ours, we must use mature technology as soon as possible and build and use it as soon as possible, this is the king! Donald said.

Liang Jiangtao nodded and put his mind at ease.

It seems that he is on the right track.

Just follow this path, absolutely yes.

Grandpa Tang's explanation made him more confident.

"Grandpa Tang, I still have one more question, I know that our Chinese culture is definitely not 'dross', it contains endless philosophies, but why, did it suffer a hundred years of humiliation back then?"

This question has been haunting his mind.

Since the splendid and long-standing Chinese culture is the force that has allowed the Chinese nation to prosper for thousands of years, and it is also the basis for the future rise, why did it fall into the dilemma of being bullied by the West in turn?

"Xiao Liang, your question is very good, do you know that there is a saying that bad money drives out good money?" Donald sighed and said.

"Yes!" Liang Jiangtao nodded.

"To a certain extent, when Huaxia was bullied, it was a phenomenon of bad money driving out good money, and a group of arrogant robbers broke into the summer palace! Let the pearl be dusted! Donald looked distressed.

"No matter how superior our culture is, we can't resist strong ships and cannons!" Liang Lao also looked back on the past.

He is a revolutionary hero, a founding father, and even more empathetic.

"Our traditional Chinese culture pays attention to the unity of nature and man, harmonious coexistence, standing on the eve of the outbreak of the Opium War, this land has fed most of the world's population, and it is thousands of years! And the future is sustainable! Without external distractions, we will continue to prosper and continue to experience internal self-adjustment! ”

Western culture, on the other hand, emphasizes the expansion of desires and the pursuit of great material abundance! We can see that under the guidance of this kind of thinking, after just a few hundred years of development, have many problems emerged? A lot of it is still catastrophic! There are a lot of reflective voices now! For example, Carson's "Silent Spring" sounded the clarion call for environmentalism, and I was good friends with her, a very thoughtful woman. ”

"Let's see, although life is convenient and rich now, it also pollutes the environment, consumes resources, and exacerbates internal friction, which may not be repaired for thousands of years, and what is more dangerous is that the world will fall under the cloud of nuclear annihilation!"

"In addition, there is mental pollution! Just as military strength cannot bring true stability, material civilization cannot naturally bring spiritual satisfaction and lasting happiness! For example, what is Japan's GDP per capita? And what is its suicide rate? The economy is growing, and the happiness is gone! ”

"When the economy grows unchecked, indefinitely, and faster and faster, it constantly pollutes and destroys the environment, and even brings the risk of destruction! If you compare the earth to a person, and compare this phenomenon to a cell in the human body, what do you think it looks like? Donald asked suddenly.

"Cancer cells!" Liang Jiangtao almost blurted out.

At the same time, it is as if a giant bell is ringing in the heart!

Western Cultural ......... There are such strong drawbacks!

Although he also knew that environmental pollution was a big problem, he did not rise to this height.

"If this culture is allowed to develop, the destruction of the planet is not impossible! Therefore, now many knowledgeable people judge that the answer to the future of mankind will be found in the mysterious land of the East, and it is by no means an empty talk! Donald said.

So, it's easy to explain why we were bullied back then. Because a humble gentleman cannot defeat a greedy robber! This is not the first time this has happened in the long history of China! Countless times, the iron cavalry of the northern ethnic minorities invaded the Central Plains, and the West Dog Rong broke through the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and the five Hu Chaohua were ....... Yuan, Qing and Qing! History has proven countless times that advanced culture cannot resist the iron cavalry of the barbarians! Not only in China, but also in the West, the Western Roman Empire's barbaric Hun King Attila penetrated, and then was destroyed by the Germans, and the Eastern Roman Empire was still attacked by the Ottoman Turks after a thousand years! ”

However, we must also see that these ethnic minorities who invaded China will eventually be assimilated and subdued by the Chinese culture, which is also a phenomenon discovered by the Western historian Joseph Needham! The Germanic peoples also inherited the cultural heritage of ancient Greece and Rome, and let the civilization be revived and carried forward! Now, there has been a new round of collision between Eastern and Western cultures, and the strong Western culture has taken the lead, but the final result must not be that the west wind overwhelms the east wind! Let's wait and see! ”

"Find the answer from the excellent traditional Chinese culture and find a road that belongs to us and the world! This burden is on you! Donald's eyes were full of anticipation.
