The diligence of the past in Pocheng

When it comes to China's economic man of the hour, we have to talk about Li Shan, who won the title of Top Ten Economic Man of China in 2002. Yes, Li Shan, who came out of Pocheng, once served as the vice chairman of UBS Investment Bank in Asia, the president of BOC International Holdings Limited, the deputy head of the leading group for the preparation of the investment bank of China Development Bank, a member of the the State Council National Informatization Expert Advisory Committee and an adviser to the Hong Kong SAR Government. Li Shan is also the chairman of Hong Kong Bauhinia Party, the chairman of Silk Road Finance Company, the vice chairman of Hong Kong China Finance Association and the vice chairman of Silk Road Planning and Research Center.

These titles represent rich knowledge and impressive achievements. People may ask: Where did Li Shan's rich knowledge and impressive achievements come from? I think: besides his clever IQ, he also comes from diligence!

I met Li Shan in the late 1970s. It was Sunday, and a friend of the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe and I went to Li Shan's home at the invitation of his parents. At noon, a table of delicious food is ready. Although everyone is not seated yet, the chopped green onion crucian carp on the table is already fragrant! It is full of expectations. At this time, the hostess Peng called out two brothers and sisters who were reading and studying in the back room: a handsome boy and a beautiful woman. This handsome boy is Li Shan who is still in middle school. Teacher Peng said: Li Shan loves learning, and his academic performance has been the first since he went to primary school.

1980, only a few families in the county had televisions, and there were only a few color TVs in the city. There is a 2 1 inch color TV in the cultural center, which is placed in the ground floor lobby and is open to the public every night. The entrance fee is 50 cents. This year coincides with the introduction of an American drama: Garrison Death Squad. That popularity can only be described as an empty street. During the screening, many people, including me, sat in the hall early every night to watch. Although Li Shan's home is upstairs, he never goes to the cinema to watch TV programs. Occasionally, I just watch him go down to the corridor on the second floor to have a rest, look at him from a distance through the glass window for a few minutes, and then go upstairs to study. That's it. When Li Shan graduated from high school in 8 1, she was admitted to Tsinghua University with excellent results.

Writing here, I thought of a passage by Lu Xun: People say I am a genius! I replied: I am really a genius! I just spend other people's time drinking tea, chatting, reading and writing. Isn't it true that Li Shan spends all the time others spend watching TV and chatting in the street studying hard?
