 Okay, welcome to Understanding China on ThinkTech. I'm Jay Fidel. Today, Michael North, our regular host for Understanding China, is not here with us in the studio. He's in China. So I will be your network host for today. Michael is connected by Skype from Hawaiian, a city in the heart of industrial East China in the middle of Jiangsu Province. Hawaiian is a, sounds like Hawaii, the city of 4.8 million people, by Chinese standards, that's pretty small, but that still makes it larger than most American cities, certainly larger than all of Hawaii. Hawaiian has been inhabited for nearly 6,000 years and has featured prominently in Chinese history and culture. We're focused on one particular detail of that long, deep story today, Zouin Lai, the first premier of modern China who was born in Hawaiian in 1898. Zouin introduces us to a prominent businessman there who knows Hawaiian and his most famous son very well, and talks about some of the secrets as to what makes China tick. So this show is live from Hawaiian on the industrial East Coast of China, and Michael North will interview Zouin Renjun, general manager of Nanjing Rike translation company. As general manager, he directs translation, interpretation, and localization services from one of the largest language companies in China, and the website is locatran, L-O-C-A-T-R-A-N, dot com. This as well is based in Hawaiian, is the birthplace of Zouin Lai. Respected throughout China as a moderate discipline peacemaker, Zouin Lai served as premier through the tumultuous years from 1949 to 1976. And I tell you, when I was in grade school, I studied Zouin Lai, and I had great regard for him then and now. His character and the example he set are regarded as key to understanding China's view of itself today, and in fact his ideas permeate the political, economic, and cultural policies of the world's largest nation. So this interview will analyze the impact of Zouin Lai and China past, present, and future. Michael North, our host in China, it's all yours. Please introduce Zouin Lai to our audience in Hawaii and around the world. And we're coming to you from Hawaiian, which is the birthplace of Zouin Lai. And I'd like to ask a question of you, Zouin. What is the significance of Zouin Lai, Premier Zouin Lai, to the Chinese people? Zouin Lai is the birthplace of Zouin Lai. What is the importance of Zouin Lai to the Chinese people? Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming from the United States. I'm Jiang Su, a Hawaiian. I'm also a close friend of Zouin Lai. This is where I live. Welcome everyone. You have a chance to visit Zouin Lai, China. It's very historic and meaningful. It's also a beautiful and beautiful city. Thank you, audience. Actually, I'm in Hawaiian because Hawaiian is my hometown. And Hawaiian is also a beautiful city. I'm welcome that people around the world can come to Hawaiian and visit the Zouin Lai Memorial Hall. Hawaiian is a city which has a great historical significance because Hawaiian is the hometown of the most respected Premier in China, Zouin Lai. And also, Hawaiian is located in the Yangtze River Delta, which is economically advanced in China. And also, Hawaiian is a central city in this region. Hawaiian is also a city of historical culture in China. It's also a city of national heritage. It's also a city of national origin. The environment is very beautiful. Now, from the government to the people of the country, it's very important to protect the environment. So, Hawaiian is also a city of national environmental protection. It's also a city of recreation. It's also a city of excellent tourism in China. At the same time, the transportation is very important. When I was a child, since I was born, since I was a child, I have always respected and loved the image of the Premier. Because when I was a child, my grandfather and my grandfather's grandfather would go to school in the hometown of our Prime Minister, Jiangsu City, Huan'an. And when my grandfather was a child, I often passed by the door of the Prime Minister's house. And then I talked to the Prime Minister's mother-in-law. Her name was Rumu. And then they often talked together. And then my grandfather would often listen to the Prime Minister's mother-in-law. I told him a lot of stories of the Prime Minister. And then my grandfather told me this story. And then I told him a lot, a lot. When I was a child, I went to Huan'an for a few years. So when I was a child, my grandfather taught me a lot about the image of the Prime Minister. Premier Zhou is a good person. I respect him very much. Actually, my grandfather lived in Huan'an. When he was a child, he always passed through the door of the former residence of Premier Zhou. And actually, he met the Premier Zhou's babysitter many times and talked with her. And saw that she was really a nice person. Prime Minister, in the faith of the whole people of China, the whole nation is dedicated to the service of the people of the world. And then the great work is always limited to the people of China. In the end, it didn't even leave its own ashes. The King of China was in the West Sea. And such a spirit always affected the people of China. And it affected me, too. One of the most significant principles of Premier Zhou is to serve the people wholeheartedly. And also throughout his whole life, he always bent his back to his task. And then he has a great significance to the whole China. So we were at the memorial to Zhou and I this morning here in Huan'an. It's a beautiful memorial. It's something like the memorial to Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C. Tell us a little bit about that memorial. And while we're talking, we have some video of that memorial from up on high and from walking in. And you can see that it was... The architecture is modern style but connected to traditional Chinese architecture. It looks like a Pagoga. Tell us a little bit about the National Memorial to Zhou and I here in Huan'an. Let me introduce you to Zhou and I, the architecture and design of the memorial. Just now, I was with some of the friends from the U.S. who came here today. Together, we saw the beautiful General Memorial. And then, the General Memorial, the memorial to Zhou and I, the hometown of Zhou and I, a beautiful lake. And then, it should be the most important, most beautiful, and the best place in China. And then, its main hall is 26 meters high. It's the same height as the one in Nanjing, Zhongshan-Lin. And then, its main hall is a four-way, wide-angle shape. Why would it look like this? It should be four-way, eight-way. It means that it is the spirit of Zhou and I, the Chinese people. And then, there are four pillars of the Pagoga. Its meaning is that Zhou and I were born in 1954, 1962, 1964, 1975. These four pillars, four lines, they are all four-way. Actually, I visited the Zhou and I memorial hall with my American friends. The memorial hall is located around a lake, and the main building was square octangle within. I'd like to know in your business, you run the Loca Tran, translation company. In your business, the principle of Zhou Enlai, what inspiration do you get from his life that you apply in your business every day? Every year, more than 100,000 people visit Zhou Enlai. What is the connection between your company and Zhou Enlai? Let me introduce the situation of our company. Our company is based on language services. The main thing is that through language tools, we can create some Chinese economy, culture, and technology. I just introduced myself as Huai'an. This is where I live. I am very honored to be here with Zhou Enlai. I have been the director and translator of some of his articles. At the same time, I am also a member of Huai'an Economic Area. I am also a member of Huai'an Economic Area. Through this method, I am able to create my own economy and develop our Huai'an Economic Area. I also do some related work. I come from a local translation company. It is a company that provides language translation services. We are providing the opportunities to many people to communicate with each other and exchange resources and information. Also, I am living in Huai'an. Huai'an is my hometown. I want to let the culture and economy of Huai'an develop and make many people know better about Huai'an. The idea that Zhou Enlai had, which is China opening to the world, is only he spoke Chinese, he spoke English, he spoke Japanese, he spoke German, so he was almost starting Lokatran 40 years ago. It was very unusual for any Chinese to speak all those different Asian and European languages. Maybe there is an inspiration that came from Zhou Enlai to reach out internationally that is being expressed through your business. Do you think? Yeah. Translate. That's good. He said that there will be many Chinese languages in China. A Chinese person who can speak so many languages is also unusual. I would like to ask what can your company develop from China? Our president is indeed the representative of Chinese excellent people. He said that there will be six languages. So now, as a language service company, language is a very good tool and is also a bridge between communication and cooperation. At the same time, language work, I think it mainly has a few advantages. Firstly, it has a service that is very efficient. At the same time, it has a service that has information. Now, the government is building a generation-by-generation system. Xi Jinping is building a generation-by-generation system. In fact, where does he go? Where does language go? Zhou Enlai can be the foreign ministry of our country. And our president is excellent in language. He finally achieved good communication. The premier job set a good example for all Chinese people. Because as a foreign minister of China, he mastered many languages. And as for our company, I think language is a tool and a bridge to people in different countries to communicate with each other. And also, the newly initiative proposed by Xi Jinping, One Belt, One Road, in processing this implementation and initiative language plays a good significance in this process. Do you think that the One Belt, One Road will extend to America one day? Do you think that the One Belt, One Road will extend to America one day? I believe that it should. Because the current One Belt, One Road is a road that goes down to Europe. The water road goes down from our door and then goes to India. But I think that the progress of China and the development of China's economy and the culture of China will definitely pass through time. I truly believe that will happen. Although the One Belt, One Road can extend to America one day, I believe that the One Belt, One Road will extend to America one day. And I believe that the One Belt, One Road will continue to pass through time. I truly believe that will happen. Although the One Belt, One Road can extend to Europe in road and India by sea, but with the development of China, I truly believe China will extend the One Belt, One Road to America. Several days later, the president of the United States, Donald Trump had a meeting with the China president, Xi Jinping. So I think this communication is very important and it will show that the cooperation between two countries. I hope so. Are you already doing business with Americans? I'm American and we're here. Are you already doing serving translation for people in the United States? My company provides language translation service to many United States enterprises. For example, we provide the Chinese translation for Facebook. So in the forum of Sino-US Science and Technology, our company provides translation service for American people. Very good. So just to explain what Mr's World Company does is if you have a product in America, you want to introduce it into China, they will translate the labels for you. They will translate the manuals for you. They will translate the training for you. Everything all together in one service. That's called, they call it localization. So this is something that is very difficult, very technical, very challenging job to do. And this is something that Locatran is a leader for China. I am a teacher in many universities. So I also use the way I use the police. Every time I go to the police, I will introduce myself as Jiangsu Huai'an. When I say I am Jiangsu Huai'an, the other friends will say that I am the Prime Minister of China. Our Huai'an, basically, would be with Huai'an and with you. And actually I heard many stories about Premier Zhou in my childhood. And one of the most important sentences proposed by Premier Zhou is to study for a prosperous and strong China. And these sentences has affected generations of people. And also it inspired me and inspired many companies in Huai'an. And I told this company that we can work for a prosperous and strong China. You were from Huai'an. And just 25 years ago, Huai'an was a small city, not very well developed. Some poor people, not a lot of railroad, water, roads, even. You have seen a lot of changes in your lifetime, from a young man now to a professional. How does it feel to be going through such huge change constantly here in China? 25 years ago, Huai'an was still a small city. People were poor, roads and transportation were scarce. So from your childhood to now, you must have seen a lot of changes in Huai'an. And what is your biggest feeling? This question is very good. I went back to Huai'an in the afternoon. And then I went to the water line near Huai'an. I took a detailed look at it. I said that 25 years ago, I also left Huai'an 15 years ago to work in Beijing. Then I went to Changsha, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Nanjing. 25 years later, I came back here again. I felt a huge change. When I was a soldier, I used to work in the army. In 1992, the highest floor was a four-story building. Now it is over 50 floors. The high-rise building is very developed and beautiful. The environment is very beautiful. I left Huai'an about 25 years ago. So when I visited Huai'an several days ago, I saw many changes happening in Huai'an. And in 1992, when I joined the army, the tallest building in Huai'an just had four floors. So with all of that very fast development, there is a price to pay. There is crowds, there is noise, there is brown on the horizon, the air is dirty, they have to clean the water, the land can be sick, chopping it up. How do you feel about that environmental price that is paid for the rapid economic development? This is called Jiang Mama. Jiang Mama is not only educated and educated but also known as Jiang Mama. She brought her back to her hometown of Danyun River to let her understand how the old people are affected. Later, the high-rise building didn't make any special relationship with the people. This is the same experience when you are fighting with a police officer. They would call you Jiang Mama. It's an old police officer. People from the north of Zubei would say it's a strong protection for the elderly. Is it a fish pond? Is it edible? We have two species of white salmon. This is one of them. We will show you around later. We are going to take a look now. Zhou Panlong is the master of this place. He used to be in Siyang, Lian Shui, Fu Ning, Lian Yun Gang and so on. He has been known for a long time. He has been in Shanyang County for a long time. Today, he is in Huan District. Before, he was already dead. Now he is dead. He has no family left in his life. He is dead because of his family. Now he is dead because of his family. He is dead. He has been working in Siyang, Lian Yun Gang, Fu Ning, Siyang, Fu Ning. He has been born in a small apartment in the family of Guan Liu. He has never enjoyed his life with his family. Mr. Lin. You see, the director of the director's house has sent us the letter. The letter I sent to the director of the house. The letter I sent to the director of the house. The director has sent the dishes. Here is the kitchen. 因为周家是祖上浙江少年人,所以造台点行浙江风格的三眼造台。 我们现在就在这儿吃吧。 没看一下。 一口锅烧水,一口锅烧饭,一口锅烧菜。 总理最爱吃什么呀? 三眼造台。 总理最爱吃獅子头。 菠菜它这有一脚,还有梅干糕。 中午做这三道菜。 估计啊。 总理的诞生弟。 1898年3月5日,周来出生在东边的这一间房屋内, 墙上沉獵着的是他生父周一能与生母万世的画像。 生母万世是清河县之县,万清选的第十二个女儿,人称十二姑。 做事非常地精明强干,不过于1907年的秋天, 英并时世,中年三十岁,换的是废楼,楼并在当时是不知之爭。 西边这一处房屋是他的生父周一能读书休息的地方, 类似于我们现在家中的书房。 周一能后来改名为周少刚,他是旧社会的一名职员, 曾在山洋信崖当过差,后来在武汉等地交过书。 为了支撑家里到处谋生,一生的月工资没有超过我们三十块。 于1942年在重庆弘延村,英并时世,中年六十八岁。 好,我们接下来从这里继续想签,对医生高度地评价。 我们这里呢, China through the eyes of a peacemaker, and that's namely Joe Enlai, and Michael's guest is Wellwin Jun. He is the general manager of Nanjing Weke translation company in Hawaiian, which is a town of relatively small population, four million, not far from Nanjing. And so we've been talking with him on the question of how Hawaiian is doing and the effect historically of the fact that Joe Enlai came from Hawaiian. And he is well respected and admired in Hawaiian as well as everywhere in China. And for that matter, everyone who has studied China. Well, thank you so much, Michael and Mr. as well. It's been an interesting discussion. And we'll try to make this work. And thanks so much. We'll see you next time on Understanding China on ThinkTech. Aloha. Say yes. Say yes. Yes, yes. We'll see you.
