5. Look over the Horizon
The energy that so many outsiders feel when they are in China and thatPresident Obama may see when he is there comes not just from thefrenetic activity that is visible everywhere. It comes also from asense that it's harnessed to something bigger. The government isn'tfrantically building all this infrastructure just to create make-workjobs. And kids aren't studying themselves sleepless because it's a lotof fun. A few years ago, I interviewed Zhang Xin, a young man from adeeply poor agricultural province in central China. His parents werewheat farmers and lived in a tiny one-room house next to the fields. Hehad graduated from Tsinghua University — China's MIT — and gotten a jobas a software engineer at Huawei, the Cisco of China. His success,Zhang told me one day, had changed his family forever. None of hisdescendants would "ever work in the wheat fields again. Not mychildren. Not their children. That life is over." (And neither wouldhis parents. They moved to prosperous Shenzhen, just north of HongKong, soon after he started his new job.)
Multiply that young man's story by millions, and you get asense of what a forward-looking country this once very backward societyhas become. A smart American who lived in China for years and who wantsto avoid being identified publicly (perhaps because he'd be labeled a"panda hugger," the timeworn epithet tossed at anyone who has anythinggood to say about China) puts it this way: "China is striving to becomewhat it has not yet become. It is upwardly mobile, consciously,avowedly and — as its track record continues to strengthen — proudlyso."
Proudly so, because as Zhang understood, hard work today meansa much better life decades from now for those who will inherit what hehelped create. And if that sounds familiar to Americans — marooned, forthe moment, in the deepest recession in 26 years — it should.
