speech of mu jiawei, northwest normal university in recent years, the development of the chinese economy has been incredibly fast,

some might even call it miraculous. but behind the miracles lies a problem: the

development is unbalanced in different regions. under the strategy of the chinese government, china has three major economic

regions: the east, the middle and the west. with its advantageous position, the east

is the fastest developing area, leaving the west far behind, and the middle somewhere

in between. for instance, the gdp per capita in the east amounts to us$2000, while

that of the west is only 40% of the east. furthermore, the gap between the urban and the rural, according to the state

statistical bureau, has widened to more than 10 years. there are people in the big

cities with large houses, expensive cars, other luxuries and better opportunities.

however, there are people in the countryside, living on meager food, without the

security of health, education, and so on. this is the diversity of the chinese economy. for the unity of the full national

economic development, governments of all levels have decided on corresponding

strategies, for example, the greater development of the western region, the

continuing rise of the central china, and the faster development of the east.

specifically, within the west, provinces alike have established programs of

development, with financial and technological aid of the central government, making

full use of the western natural resources. such strategies have turned out to be

remarkably successful.

there are poor ones in asia and africa. the aid from the rich world is far from enough

to remove poverty in the developing countries. therefore, with the help of funds,

technology, and management from wealthy countries, these developing countries now

have the opportunity to establish their own right strategies of development, taking

full advantage of their natural and human resources. speech of li mengxia, harbin engineering university unity and diversity -- diversity talks this is a force. it’s unity. we are the world because of unity. it enables the international co-operational

manufacture by setting up unified standards for everything. a nail produced in china

can be perfectly used in any corner of the world. therefore, it is unity that leads world into a perfect harmony! however, don’t you think it’s a little bit boring with unity ruling the world

only? what would you do if someone orders you to do whatever he does without allowing

you to do what you really want? apparently, you’ll be going nuts, because you are

not leading a life of your own. so, to us, diversity talks! before i went to college, my dad asked me: son, did you think of being outstanding?

if you want to be outstanding, you have to stand out, stand out of normal routine

which other people consider the only way to success. but dad’s words went in one ear and out the other! i had no idea whether dad

was right or wrong until the day i found i was no longer myself. i put myself in a
