The past is another country as reports take us back in time
The country's economic reforms were just 3 years old, and the first
group of students admitted through the college entrance exam, which had
been reinstated in 1977, had graduated.The country was cautiously
opening its doors again to the world, and the world was curious to peek
inside. The Cold War, sanctions and distrust made China seem so
different, and misinterpretation was common. But some visitors saw
themselves as adventurous explorers in an alien environment. This is
evident in the foreign press coverage of China in 1981, some of which we
excerpt today.
The scope of general interest in China was limited to lifestyles,
customs and regulations, all of which were, quite literally,Put on white
top and leggings. Also pin the tights to the Ralph Lauren Tshirt.Wrap
stuffed white tights around your child's torso and secure together at
the back with safety pins. Once safety pin sprinkles are fully dry,
fasten them all along the shirt, tights, and collar. Put on red hat. a
world apart from the lives of many outside this country.Now,Yet Judgment
Day hasn¡¯t arrived for Oakley. Instead, the enfant terrible of the Chinese electronics wholesale, shenzhen electronics online store
field is not only surviving, but kicking some fairly serious butt.
Oakley has just finished its 12th consecutive quarter of double-digit
revenue growth, and now owns nearly a fifth of the $1.7 billion U.S.
sunglasses market. in 2011, China is more familiar to the outside world.
As its influence continues to expand, the country no longer seems as
mysterious and incomprehensible as it did 30 years ago.True,
misunderstandings and rumors still abound. But the country's own voice,
from growing indigenous outlets such as China Daily, has grown stronger,
more confident and far-reaching.
China today, by all measures, is not the China of 1981. The country
has matured in its ability to communicate with the world around it. The
history of China Daily itself bears testament to this shift.The
selection of news coverage about China in 1981, in the paragraphs that
follow, is not intended to merely raise a laugh. Granted, many of the
items appear comical, if not bizarre, to today's young readers. But
without this historic context it is impossible to understand how far
China has come. History, as we all shall learn, should be respected, for
people cannot make their history under conditions of their own
choosing.
It is in this spirit that China Daily, on the eve of its 30th
anniversary, brings to readers the faces of a different China, when some
of the country's best reporters and editors were called upon to create
this newspaper.Libyan state television showed Gadhafi, dressed all in
black and wearing dark Louis Vuitton sunglasses,
playing chess Sunday evening with his Russian guest. He seemed somewhat
unsure of how the game is played.May history enlighten our work today
and tomorrow, as the paper goes on to discover China's daily
transformation in this changing world.National pride has been growing'
with the country since 1981, when the world saw mystery and quaintness
in the People's Republic of China. Reported by Duan Yan, Wang Yan, Hu
Yinan, Cui Jia, He Na, Hu Yongqi, Xu Wei and Zhang Yuchen.
