因為爺爺是地主,因為父輩們也是從鄉下成長起來的,所以我從小和鄉村結下了很深的感情。我十四歲去了城鎮后又去了都市,后面又“狂野”地奔向“改革開放”和“經濟浪潮”的“大特區”……
在2017這樣一個特定的年份我在北京做一次短暫回首,是為中年的我留下一個小小的印痕。以前的歲月,我做過工人,當過老師,進過機關,也在大型國企“消磨過時光”,等等。忽然,到了今年,我好像有了些收獲(當然不是銀碎和銅臭方面),而是在國際社會上獲得了一點影響和榮譽,甚至在地球70億人的“聯合國”中掛上了號。
聯合國是一個主權國家的國際性組織,極其權威和極具影響力。青少年時期一聽到“聯合國”三個字就會肅然起敬,就會在腦海里呈現那些個氣宇軒昂的白領的“國際主義戰士們”,總之,那時的我很想去聯合國這樣的“王國”中“端盤子”,“送文件”,哪怕是去一個月累趴下也好——
而今,作為中國人,因為母國的強大,所以能和歐美國家這些“貌似傲慢的”紳士、貴族一起開Party,做生意,一起平起平坐地合作成立國際機構,等等。
最近這幾月,歐洲人民已經充分認識到中國的強大和更加仁德,充分體察到習近平主席所倡導的“一帶一路”發展戰略的系列實惠,所以紛紛積極地和大中國牽手與擁抱。本月,我本人也在法國好朋友的誠邀下,共同為中國“一帶一路”國家戰略和國際旅游業發展做了一件具體工作,那就是:共同在聯合國體系框架內創立了“國際旅游與酒店聯合總會”機構,并受聯合國經濟和社會事務部領導。青年的輕輕一夢,卻成然了中年的悠悠情懷——在聯合國機構中的國際NGO組織“當頭”了。
在考慮許多事和要做許多事的同時,我一直在考慮要將我的身心回歸到鄉村去。因為鄉村的純和美,因為我看到了歐美國家特別重視鄉村的存在和發展,所以,我想回到鄉下,找一個地方停下來。
找一個鄉村很容易,找一個鄉村停下來也很容易,但是,找一個鄉村停下來安放我們的思想、情懷和事業圓點是很不容易的。今年,我又回鄉掃墓了,家鄉的同胞和長輩們希望留給我一小塊“土地”,令我能夠“葉落歸根”或是衍生中國一個“族人”的血脈,這個想法很樸素也很單純,然而,我不完全是這樣想的。
回到鄉村的意思是,在一個很好的自然環境中,我們遠離城市喧囂和張揚,遠離環境污染和氣候惡化等等不良因素,在一個簡與凈的鄉下構建一個既可以生活又可以工作的“理想所在”。當今世界,通訊和交通都已經是很便捷了,中國的東南西北中基本上一天都能到達了,所以,為了工作和事業并不一定要擠在大城市,大城市的工作地可以是一個辦事機構而已,許多工作的總部(籌劃和創想總部、設計及運作總部、系統指揮總部)可以移向鄉村和山水間,我,是這樣想的,也是計劃這樣去做的,去到鄉村,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...
