A City of Yesterday

The report of the year 2008's GDP of all the cities in China has been published eventually. With the GDP of 441.950 billion, this city has been exceeded by Qingdao, which has a GDP of 443.618 billion. After Chongqing, Qingdao becomes the second one which outstrip this city in the recent three years.

Once this city had a very splendid period of time. It used to rank first in Jiangsu province, several years later, it was outstripped by Suzhou which is almost two times larger and have a population three times larger than this city. Till now, this city is still do better in economy than Nanjing, which is the provincial capital of Jiangsu province.

Not until Yang weize governs this city , this city still rank 8 in China's GDP list and is able to keep in step with Suzhou closely. After his governing, this city has to get worse and worse. The purchasing power unit『PuPU』 keeps highest the province whereas the invisible income level just lies third. Thanks to Nanjing is a poorer one, this city can keep second in the province. What's more unlike in foreign cities, we cannot depose the mayor, but we have to confront the fact that this city is keep slacking off.

Up to today this city still has less international recognition than even Suzhou. Maybe most foreigners heard this city for the first time due to the outbreak of cyanobacteria in the Taihu Lake in May,2007. Moreover, if you search this city in Yahoo! Weather, you can just get a result of Changzhou or even a small county in Chongqing Municipality. What was worse, it is said that this city will be divided into two more parts, one of which called Jiangyin will be merged with Jingjiang and Zhangjiagang and become the new provincial capital of new Jiangsu province. This means this city not only loses the chance to reoutstrip Chongqing and Qingdao, but also in fear of dropping out of the top ten in the GDP list.


I am one citizen of the city.

China, Chinese

Chinese is a nation which can simply accept so-called simpler things and forget the old ones just because they believe "The simpler , the better", regardless of they can't imagine how difficult it is to reach the simple state and how significant the so-called complex things are.

China is the only country which owed the continuous history and broke it down of its own free will.

Chinese is a nation with so large population but doesn't believe in any spiritual things. What they only believe in is money, interest and power though they verbally declare *.ism〔.ism文件,泛指各種主義〕 is their highest aim. They can pay respects to the buddhas one day and destroy them another day if you convince them that will bring good luck and more money.

China is a country which fears new things so much that most new things will be degraded in name of Chinesize.

Chinese is a nation who hates official preachment so much that they cannot bear any reactionism〔反動思想,又可解釋為極端保守主義,有貶義〕 though mostly what they hate is just radicalism〔激進主義,與保守主義相反,無貶義〕 actually. They abhor all sorts of corruption, but they stick to the belief that all criticisms are reactionary and all the critics are reactionaries.

advised reply: flew by are baffled plebses.
