知识的价值

　　在信息时代，知识的价值认识严重影响了公众对一个国家的经济增长。原理图清楚地表明了在中国如何发展，在过去50年来知识的价值。

　　原理图，主要由三部分组成。从1950年到1966年，曲线大致是一条直线，略高于零，表明中国是一个低文化的民族则。 1966年，曲线大幅跌破零，向下移动，在未来11年毫无希望。这periodcoincided与“文化革命”。那么我们的社会疯了，书籍被烧毁，学校关闭，各种学术活动被禁止。知识的主人只是造成灾害。生命是一个中国知识分子，包括著名学者恶梦以及谁受过高等教育的专业或有任何与知识的普通百姓。这是一个无知的时候是一种美德和知识是一种犯罪。人们拼命试图从知识了。因此，中国落后更远落后于世界上的迅速进展。这是在新中国历史上最黑暗的时间。曲线恢复到其原来的非零位置，大约是1978年排名上升但速度缓慢。从1984年起，它已被射击了。在对外开放的政策，鼓励人们学习他们的知识和渠道向市场经济。我国数以百万计的完善关闭其知识的手段，更中享受知识的良好成果，并说再见的贫穷困扰着他们的后代。

　　正如我们的世界正在迅速地迈向信息时代的推进，越来越多的人认识到，知识就是力量，创意就是一切。只有当中国成为一个受过良好教育的国家，中国可以成为一个伟大国家的国际威望。

　　Value of Knowledge

　　In the Information Age, public awareness of the value of knowledge critically affects the economic growth of a nation. The schematic diagram clearly shows how the value of knowledge evolved in China in the past 50 years.

　　The schematic diagram mainly consists of three parts. From 1950 to 1966, the curve was roughly a straight line slightly above zero, showing that China was a poorly-educated nation then. In 1966, the curve drastically dropped below zero, moving down hopelessly in the next 11 years. This periodcoincided with the "Culture Revolution". Our society went mad then, books were burned,schools were closed and all kinds of academic activities were banned. Knowledge inflicted its masters nothing but disasters. Life was a nightmare for Chinese intellectuals, including famous scholars as well as common people who received higher education or whose profession had anything to do with knowledge. It was a time when ignorance was a virtue and knowledge was a crime. People tried desperately to be away from knowledge. As a result, China lagged farther behind the rapid progressing world. This was the darkest time in the history of New China. The curve returned to its original non-zero position around 1978 and moved up but slowly. From 1984 on, it has been shooting up. The open-up policy encourages people to study and to channel their knowledge to the market economy. Millions of Chinese are bettering off by means of their knowledge and more Chinese enjoy the fruits of knowledge and say goodbye for good to poverty that haunted them for generations.

　　As our world is rapidly advancing towards the Information Age, increasing number of people realize that knowledge is power and creativity is everything. Only when China becomes a better educated nation, can China be a great nation with international prestige
