在彼处

1: When I was young, China was in the midst of the Cultural Revolution. Schools were closed and all the young people were sent to the countryside to do menial labor for "re-educa-tion." Those days were tough, but the harsh country life gave me tenacity and sense of tol-erance. 2: In 1978, Mr. Deng Xiaoping, a wise leader of China, led the country into an unprecedented campaign to introduce a market economy. The reform and opening up unleashed such enthu-siasm for economic development, that it has completely transformed China in the last 25years. In 2003, the GDP of China reached 1.4trillion US dollars, which is more than three times that of Australia. But with our population of 1.3 billion, this gives population of 1.3 billion;this gives a per capita GDP of only 1,000 US dollars. It is only 3%-4% that of Australia, but is already a significant historical improvement in China' s Context. 3: China has also grown into a huge market with 80 million Internet users, and the number of cell-phone users now exceeds 300 million.China has also become the largest Asian market for tourism, with over 20 million Chinese citizens travelling overseas last year.
