Hello everyone, I'm your old friend, today let's talk about the voice of a big guy. Cao Dewang, whose name is familiar to many, is a leading Chinese entrepreneur and a breath of fresh air for philanthropy. Recently, his remarks in an interview have sparked widespread attention and discussion.
Mr. Cao said: "If the Chinese people are not bad, they are bad in the 'elite'. This may sound harsh at first, but if you taste it, you will find that there is a deep meaning in his words. He is not blaming all elites, but an observation and reflection on social phenomena.
First of all, we need to understand that the "elite" that Cao Dewang refers to may be referring to those who have an advantage in knowledge, wealth, and influence. They are often seen as engines of social progress, but sometimes this advantage can also create a sense of distance that creates a rift in communication between them and ordinary people.
I remember the ancients: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." "If the elite only cares about moving forward on their own and ignores the temperature of the land beneath their feet, it can really alienate the people. As Ma Yun once said: "An enterprise is a social enterprise, not an enterprise by the boss alone." This is exactly what Cao Dewang emphasized, and elites need to have a sense of responsibility to give back to society.
However, Cao Dewang did not completely deny the role of elites, he would rather see that elites can lead social progress while not forgetting to pay attention to the voices of the bottom and shorten the distance with the people. He advocates fairness and harmony, just like Lin Yutang's "gentleness, courtesy, and frugality", and elites should work together to build a better society with humility and tolerance.
So, as ordinary people, how should we look at this problem? I think we should understand that everyone has his place and mission. We respect the efforts and contributions of elites, and at the same time, we hope that they can be a bridge between the upper and lower levels, the left and right, so that everyone can feel the warmth and justice of society.
In this era of information explosion, every point of view is worth thinking about. Cao Dewang's words are like a mirror, allowing us to see our own shadow and the expectations of society. Together, no matter where we are, we can do our part to build a closer and more harmonious society.
Finally, I would like to conclude this article with one sentence: "Elites, your light should not overshadow the moon, but be a beacon that illuminates the progress of others." This may be Cao Dewang's expectation for all elites, and it is also the wish of every ordinary person.
Like and forward, let's discuss how to let the elite and the people build the Chinese dream together!
