As a postgraduate in grade one whose major is mechanical and electronic engineering, I will usually have such feelings that there is giant gap of science and technology between the western countries and china, my motherland. And I am pretty sure that lots of people will have the same one with me. Of course this is the reality, we have to admit. So in my mind we have the obligation to raise the technical level of our country, that’s the point, especially the high-tech. But one thing I experienced changes my opinion, which tells me that the key which plays the most important role in the development of the country is not the tech, but he human.This April, I had a precious chance to go to visit a Machine Tool Exhibition (机床博览会) held in Beijing ,which is one of the most famous machine tool exhibition in the world and this activity was sponsored by the Swiss Machine Tool Association. There we visited various and the most advanced machine tools from different countries such as USA, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, of course including china. And you know the machine tools from western countries are completely automatic while the ones made in china are semi-automatic. Then I felt and saw the real technical difference. But it seemed that the Chinese technician were very proud of their own designs and products while the foreign ones were always saying that there was not perfect product and the better one will replace the old . And what’ s more, when visiting the Chinese platform it seemed that the Chinese technicians didn’t want to talk with us because we were students, even sometimes they were so insolent and only smiled to their customers who would have the tendency to buy their products. And when to the foreign platform most of the foreign technicians were very kind and glad to introduce their products to us though they know our identities and they were very clear that we would never buy their machine, even just a part. Two different attitudes indicate the problem, which makes me trapped in the deep thought. Short of high-tech? It’s not terrible. But if short of spirits, the spirits of going ahead, there is no hope to our country. And of course it’s also related with the personal quality. So the biggest problem existing in present situation is not the technology but the human. The personal quality is very necessary to raise our nation and this is the key point we should pay attention.
Hi, everybody. This is the first time for me to come here to share my mind Hope you will like it.
