December 11, with 14 million citrus Three Gorges Reservoir Area farmers hope Zigui County Party Secretary Luo Lang once again came to Beijing, to the new wholesale market of agricultural products made in the Beijing Carrefour Maliandao shop crying, “Zigui Orange.” This is his third consecutive year to Beijing as “Zigui Orange” crying. Three years, Orange Zigui market share in Beijing, Hubei, after the home sales orange county agricultural income for the first time last year, a billion. (December 11th Communist Party of China News Network)
Beijing party secretary for the citrus farmers shouted three times “Zigui Orange. This is a new idea. Because at the local, county party secretary, but a true number one, even if the ordinary cadres are rare see above county party secretary a few times, and not to mention ordinary people to buy oranges for the shouting was done. But the real Zigui county party secretary is crying for a handful of local citrus farmers, and has a continuous crying for 3 years. Perhaps, some say the county party secretary in the show, but not a show, I think we should be judged by the facts.
First, the show is often a show, did not last, while the third consecutive year the county party secretary Beijing as the “Orange Zigui” crying. If it is a show, went to Beijing again to make it look, why the county party secretary to Beijing three times a. Moreover, the local government has to shout to Beijing as a local citrus farmers a normalization of the government work. Every year in the season, the Government will take the initiative actions. Therefore, it should be said that a government has been normal use of their advantages of seeking the interests of the people for good measure, so definitely do not have the basic characteristics of a show.
Second, the show often insincere, the surface of a behind the set. The county clerk who practice what they preach, what they seem. The Government aims to serve the people in power, the leadership may be every place all the time in this speech said. Zigui county party secretary is not natural no exception. But he said not only good, and do better. each to Beijing, the county party secretary for the citrus farmers will be busy doing publicity, go to the market, and through the organization ” Orange Day “is a way that improves the visibility orange Zigui into the Carrefour, MerryMart, Wal-Mart and other large supermarkets in the market, and in each season, but also personally come to Beijing as the” Orange Zigui “crying. This These initiatives position the county party secretary, so that “Zigui Orange” sold on the best price, find a good market. obtain large profits. the people to increase their income. So, this is a People First, a good leader should be loving demeanor, How can that be a show.
third, putting on a show often consider their own interests, and the county party secretary is concerned about people livelihood. How many books will the county be willing to go to the supermarket shelf next to the people shouting to sell citrus. as a local government number one, can sit comfortably under the command of the office to go do these things, but why he was crying himself to the supermarket. and if not for the interests of the people concerned about, thinking about people lives, hearts and speed up the local economy development aspirations. imposing a county party secretary, how can the people crying out to Beijing for three years.
So, is not a show, free fair in the world. Zigui Beijing Party Secretary for three consecutive years as the “Orange Zigui” crying. like people are thinking, anxious people As a result, the local citrus farmers solve a big problem my heart, so that local people billions of dollars in income. won the unanimous endorsement of the local people. Therefore, the county party secretary, “the people crying,” There is no doubt that this is The local government did a ride out, Huimin, convenience of the big thing. so “the people crying,” the more the better. -

A Hired Gun for Microsoft, in Dogged Pursuit of Google By MIGUEL HELFT Published: August 30,2009 1299words REDMOND, Wash.-Qi Lu knows as well as anyone just how difficult it is to take on Google.
For nearly adecade , Mr.Lu played aleading role in building Yahoo Internet search and advertising technologies.The effort was so important that Yahoo backed it with billions of dollars to acquire companies, hire armies of engineers and develop and run its own systems.Yet Yahoo fell further and further behind and many analysts said the company was simply outgunned by Google.
Mr.Lu, who is 47, left Yahoo 14 months ago, but now finds himself once again leading the charge against Google.This time, he is backed by apatron that vows to spend even more than Yahoo did on the mission: Microsoft.
“It an unfinished mission that Iwould like to work on,” he said.
The challenge for Mr.Lu and his team remains enormous, and success appears improbable.But since Steven A. Ballmer, Microso ft chief executive, tapped him to become president of the company online services division in December, Mr.Lu, a self-effacing engineer who is one of the most private and atypical executives in the upper ranks of the Internet industry, has earned the confidence of Microsoft troops and helped to bring adose of optimism to abeaten-down team.
Possessing unusual stamina and amaniacal work ethic, he has pushed his team hard to give Microsoft an important victory.In nightly 9:30 meetings over several weeks, he leaned on his managers to find creative ways to structure asweeping and complex partnership with Yahoo.The deal, signed in July, will give Microsoft something it has coveted for years: a vastly larger audience that will make Bing, its search engine, the runner-up to Google.
But Mr.Lu and his team will have alot of running to do.Even after adding Yahoo search traffic, Bing share of the search market will be less than half as big as Google . Closing that immense gap will be difficult, in part because most users are happy with Google, which is constantly improving its search service.
In alengthy interview last week at Microsoft headquarters, Mr.Lu said he was not underestimating the challenge.But over time, he said, Microsoft has achance to offer aservice that is different and compelling enough to compete effectively.
For Microsoft, succeeding in search is vital to the company long-term health.For Mr.Lu, it is amission he felt obligated to take on.
“I do think that this is answering acall to duty,” he said.Wearing aBing T-shirt tucked into jeans held up by ablack leather belt and wearing brown sandals and white socks, the wiry Mr.Lu looked more like an engineer than asenior executive.
And with an engineer logic, he laid out his reasons for returning to the fray.Search determines where users go online, and search advertising is the most powerful economic force on the Internet.The business is too important to be controlled by asingle company, he says.
Having grown up poor in China, Mr.Lu said, he feels duty-bound not to squander the rare opportunity he was given.He was raised by his grandparents in arural village with no electricity or running water.
His intelligence got him into Fudan University in Shanghai.After finishing his master degree in computer science, he attended atalk given by Edmund M. Clarke, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon.Impressed by Mr.Lu questions and research, Professor Clarke invited him to apply to adoctorate program.
Mr. Lu, who earned about $ 10 amonth teaching at the university, could not afford even the application fee, so the professor arranged for the fee to be waived and Mr.Lu was admitted.
Mr.Lu says the challenges he faced growing up turned out to be ablessing: “You can say it harsh, but it teaches you so many things.”
After earning his Ph.D.in 1996, he went to work at one of IBM prestigious research labs .
He was lured to Yahoo in 1998.A few years later, as Google and Yahoo squared off, he headed the development of Yahoo search and search advertising technologies.
By all accounts, Mr.Lu poured his heart and soul into the mission.Hired as an engineer, he rose through the ranks not by personal ambition but rather through sheer intellectual ability and his willingness to take on ever larger roles.Eventually, he ran ateam of about 3,000 engineers.
“He shunned the limelight, but he was considered one of the stars of Yahoo,” said Tim Cadogan, the chief executive of Open X, an advertising technology company, who worked closely with Mr.Lu at Yahoo.
Mr . Lu colleagues at Yahoo and Microsoft say his intellect is matched only by his work habits.He sleeps three to four hours anight.One most weekdays, he wakes up around 4a.m., goes through his e-mail and runs four miles on atreadmill while listening to classical music or watching the news.He prefers to be in his office between 5and 6a.m.to have uninterrupted time to prepare for his day.He is often sending e-mail to his st aff until midnight or later. (Mr.Lu, who is married and has two daughters, reserves much of the weekend to spend with his family.)
When he first met Mr.Lu, Jeff Weiner, a former senior executive at Yahoo who worked closely with him for years, thought his punishing schedule was not sustainable.But Mr.Lu manager brushed aside Mr.Weiner s concerns, saying “That just Qi,” (pronounced Chee).
“I look back on that because of the number of people who came to me since to express concerns, and Isaid hat just Qi, quot;said Mr.Weiner, who is now chief executive of LinkedIn, a social networking site.” He is not wired like everyone else.Anyone else doing that would be burnt to acrisp, but Qi was one of the most productive people I e ever worked with. “
His work ethic and intellectual ability have earned him praise from rivals.” I have the highest respect for him, “said Udi Manber, a vice president of engineering for search at Google, who worked with Mr.Lu at IBMand Yahoo.” He is probably the best com petition Ican have. “
Mr.Lu discipline also expresses itself as loyalty.On his last day at Yahoo, for example, a problem came up with adatabase, and he worked side by side with his engineers trying to fix it.He left only when, at midnight, his e-mail and network access were automatically cut off.
Furthermore, Mr.Lu declined to talk with Mr.Ballmer, who had become interested in meeting him, until after his long-planned departure from Yahoo because he thought it would be improper.
Mr . Lu was contemplating opportunities in venture capital and even thought of returning to China.But he changed those plans after Mr.Ballmer flew to Silicon Valley with two Microsoft engineering executives to meet Mr.Lu to informally discuss the search business.
Mr.Ballmer was immediately smitten.
“He walked out of the room and I talking to the other two guys and Isay, od, I think we ought to talk to that guy about coming to Microsoft, quot; Mr.Ballmer said in an interview.They immediately called Mr.Lu on his cel lphone, Mr.Ballmer said. “He came on back, and we started the dialogue about him joining the company, which eventually bore fruit.”
Mr.Lu knows it will take much longer for his own mission to bear fruit. “There is lots and lots and lots of work ahead of us,” he said.
morning is really a precious time, not disturbed, so easy to insist on doing the thing I like wearing comfortable

“Choose wise and the able” system for a long time for the Singapore government and relevant institutions to absorb a lot of the best talent, enabling the country level planning and management, high efficiency, it also brings the overall economic development. However, this system is also energy storage and the folk play, bringing a degree of negative effects.
People Action Party government has always emphasized the economic aspects of development, the Government has been through school education, through the inculcation of national social policy ideas, is to earn and accumulate material wealth. Have their own property, have savings, will be shaped by a middle class, and when the middle class is formed and become the most powerful groups in society, it is difficult to see much change in this society will have a.
Singapore what it means?
is “Xin Matai” travel in one, is filled with rich South Seas-style small country? is including China, the only Chinese-majority countries? is green everywhere shade garden city? an authoritarian strongman Lee Kuan Yew? Or, is regarded as a role model of political scholars, “High Salary “?— Anyway, now the Chinese government will send every year a large number of officials to Singapore to study, the resident population of about 500 million population of more than 300 million citizens of the countries in the governance and public policy level is still the Chinese to learn from.
that Singaporeans do? Singapore society? in the government endorsement of Lee Kuan Yew and Singapore in addition, their true history and how the feelings? Singapore, whether civil? and those who think Singapore independence diligent thinking and in what manner the expression?
Mr Quah Sy Ren was born in 1964, is currently Associate Professor of Nanyang Technological University Chinese Department, served as Associate Director and Acting Director, he taught at the university is undertaking training in China officials of the task. In 2000, he and his friends initiated the establishment of the “Tangent”, a reflection of Singapore Chinese as a medium of knowledge of history and social groups. In October 2000 the “Tangent” on the cover of the first issue, printed with these few titles: “Modern Singapore alternative thinking,” “When the pursuit of economic development has become a superstition,” and “In Search of Singapore intellectual discourse space” .
to discuss the social problems of Chinese
Southern Metropolis Daily: In my interview preparation, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan had written to a number of important intellectuals, ask them to recommend an important critical thinking in Singapore groups, there Several told me that should go to “Tangent.” As a founding member of the Tangent can you talk about your specific context?
Quah Sy Ren: Tangent origin can be traced back in the 90s of last century when I was in high school teaching, we have a few friends, including now President, Tangent key Huiling is included, there is a common feeling is to discuss political, social and cultural aspects of the Singapore issues, almost all in English in the talks. Kuo Pao Kun (1939-2002 years, a famous dramatist in Singapore) in Singapore in 1990 founded a multi-arts center “power station”, the annual cultural issues hold a discussion meeting in Singapore. The main conference language is English, with emphasis on art and cultural issues, often related to social and political aspects. Several of us almost every year to attend the meeting, feeling very strong. Attending the meeting artists and intellectuals to discuss a wide range of topics, often extends to social, political, and others. But, looking back, can be discussed with the limitations of Chinese language with Chinese culture or Chinese in Chinese-related topics, the scope is rather narrow, so we have a platform can be thought of Mandarin Chinese to discuss broader issues. In 1996, we hosted the first meeting in 1999 organized a second meeting. During this period, I went to the University of Cambridge, PhD, Li Huiling Also in London to study, there were also two other British friends, we decided to organize the group in 2000, “Tangent” was established.
inception our main objective, it is hoped to discuss with Chinese Mandarin variety of problems, it is not confined to Singapore. The range in Singapore, we hope to cross-ethnic cross-language communication, but that way is clearly to be in English. In addition, we organize some open through seminars, talks, hope to make this issue discussed with the Chinese culture Chinese language can be expanded in the community.
Southern Metropolis Daily: If you know the Singapore English as a first official language of the country, some Chinese intellectuals to think of adhering to and discussed with the Chinese community, many Chinese readers, I am afraid there will be a sense of national pride spontaneously. But I understand that to you, the use of Chinese and now the Chinese do in fact does not matter. In Singapore, the internal, the use of Mandarin in English about social problems and talk about what differences?
Quah Sy Ren: This is actually very subtle, and sometimes can not tell. English as a common language across groups, is one of Singapore founding period of political and economic nature of the decision. At that time, English is not the majority language, Chinese language, mainly Taiwanese, the number is from the most common language. Currently, Singapore is still a fairly large Chinese-speaking groups, but for me, frankly, as a Chinese or speak Mandarin Chinese with the sexual relationship is not necessarily inevitable. I was born just speak Mandarin at home is, and later when he was studying into the Chinese schools. Change a situation, if born in the English-speaking family, reading the English schools, the situation is completely the opposite. This is obviously a relationship with Singapore history. Relatively early age, older and generations of people, the use of Mandarin Chinese as a Chinese with them, and in that capacity with the Chinese in the cultural and ethnic ties are relatively strong, but our generation, and this kinds of contact is not very important.
Southern Metropolis Daily: I see in “The Tangent,” the fifth anniversary of the seminar, Li Huiling mentioned in her speech, Tangent with the Chinese, in Singapore, the environment, no one knows it will not Singapore hit by the Government sensitivity to the language aspect, this sensitivity is what specifically?
Quah Sy Ren: This year Chinese-educated with the history of a relationship between political participation. Chinese-speaking people use the Chinese language, in a case, would be accused of Chinese chauvinist. The meaning of Chinese chauvinist, is to emphasize the superiority of Chinese language and Chinese culture, and belittle other languages ??(including English) and cultural status.
Southern Metropolis Daily: But Singapore is no English chauvinist .
Quah Sy Ren: Singapore is no English chauvinist views.
that history, to face ethnic
Southern Metropolis Daily: The Tangent issues of concern to Singapore, what is? understanding of the Chinese people in general is the garden city of Singapore is Lee Kuan Yew, in your view, within Singapore What is the problem more important?
Quah Sy Ren: We have a special edition of history and identity, its importance lies in how Singaporeans treat their own past. For the interpretation of the history of those in power often lies in the hands. Those in power will be through education to express their views of history, this expression often become the authority. Look at the past to be more diversified, you need to do a lot of digging before you can put forward different views. For example, we organized the exhibition in 2007 and a series of lectures, to discover and discuss the fifties and sixties of last century, Singapore secondary school students in extracurricular activities and school activities, including student participation in social movements. Why is there such a direction? Us through exhibitions and lectures, seminars, it has a greater element of the show, we hope to more diverse voices to describe history.
Another focus is multicultural, but also the communication between ethnic groups. In Singapore, the effective depth between different ethnic groups are not really under way communication, cross-group discussion itself is not that much, but has not been much encouraged. Government to promote multi-racial multi-cultural show is a very superficial way, the so-called multi-cultural understanding and respect, that is, different ethnic groups in the New Year, Happy New Year to each other, exchange gifts, it is very superficial level. Among the several ethnic groups in Singapore in-depth understanding does not exist, the subjects in school education does not exist a mechanism to promote ethnic understanding. This is a big problem. We hope that through dialogue, to promote deeper understanding, but it is not easy, because in the social structure, by the way this group has been formed, and curing. fully institutionalized
the plight of the Southern Metropolis Daily: You once wrote in an article in 1999, “Singapore Chinese intellectuals throughout the domain”, the paper said in Singapore, because the whole community has been fully institutionalized , the intellectual elite, there are many opportunities to be absorbed into the system of government which in turn is so critical intellectual community in Singapore is not very active. In Singapore, the critical intellectuals, independent space of expression how much?
Quah Sy Ren: to the present case, as you mentioned, Singapore system is particularly virulent. Singapore has a system, and the government claims has always been proud of, called m eritocracy (“elect the wise and able” system), the spirit of the imperial examination system to some extent like. In Singapore, from elementary school, middle school, high school to university is the examination system, and high school graduation examinations will serve as a major entry point from which to recruit outstanding in the Government will develop “talent.” Each year the Government will provide a lot of scholarships to senior high school in Singapore in the best students in large part for this reason, the best students into the public system, and the armed forces the system to become regular soldiers. Today, many of the Singapore government ministers, is promoted all the way on this basis, the last to leave from the public or the military and into the political system. “Choose wise and the able” system for a long time for the Singapore government and relevant institutions to absorb a lot of the best talent, enabling the country level planning and management, high efficiency, it also brings the overall economic development.
However, this system is also energy storage and play folk, bringing a degree of negative effects. First of all, when most people enter government-related institutions in the private sector talent to stay in the relatively less. You will also find the early years, critics have a critical spirit, or the main use of English intellectuals critical of the Government, some will be absorbed by the government, even as senior officials of ministerial level. Like Raymond Lim (now Minister of Singapore), VivianBalakrishnan (now Singapore Community Development, Youth and Sports Minister, Chinese name “Uyghur”) This is the case, before they enter the government policy of the government is critical of some of attitude. Therefore, the “elect the wise and able to” operation of the system covers a very wide range of these circumstances, a viable alternative folk sound, the space is relatively small. This is a level.
why Singapore is very small voice of civil society criticism? another level, from the background of history. Since the ruling People Action Party since 1959, 50 years Singapore has a process of change. People Action Party did not start it so strong, its strength is also not big enough to grasp almost absolute power.
Southern Metropolis Daily: I know that within the People Action Party in the early stage there are differences, about the dispute.
Quah Sy Ren: On the one hand there are differences within the party, the other of that era is the era of party pluralism. But you know, the People Action Party power struggle within the Left and Right, and finally the English, led by Lee Kuan Yew, the left-wing members of the intellectual elite to exclude non-party, left-wing politicians in 1961, Lim left the group of People Action Party, who at the time with China Nanyang University, including students, as well as with trade unions, the main opposition Congress. But by the 60s of last century, their number of members in the group to leave the Congress, ready to take to the streets, then this choice determines the next will be a party in Singapore dominate.
In fact, in the last century in the 60 to 70 , mainly Chinese-educated members of civil society in the organization has been very active. At the same time, the PAP government has been constantly think of ways to suppress these organizations, such a purge of the stage to the basic 70s of last century is over. Therefore, the power of civil society in Singapore to 70 years in the last century later to become very weak.
This continues down. Subsequent PAP Government has always emphasized the economic aspects of development, the Government has been through school education, through the inculcation of national social policy ideas, is to earn and accumulate material wealth. Now more than 80% of Singapore population live in houses which they own, this ratio in the world is no place like. Have their own property, have savings, will be shaped by a middle class, and when the middle class is formed and become the most powerful groups in society, it will be hard to see much change in this society, because to maintain existence of the status quo is a fundamental objective of the middle class. After 80 years from the last century, all these years, Singapore society is basically such a structure.
but other factors also exist. Looking back now, when Prime Minister Goh that in ten years (1990-2004) is a Singapore society as a whole towards more open, more relaxed social atmosphere of a period. In addition, at that stage, the rise of globalization and the real, the network also began to play a role, and later appeared in the new media, so there is a lot of new channels can be used to exchange, discussion and criticism. So the other hand I feel that the last ten years, more and more active civil society in Singapore, strength increases, more and more space.
growing space of social forces
Southern Metropolis Daily: Singapore increasing the strength of civil society, more and more space, you observe more specific what?
Quah Sy Ren: Now Singapore has a very important challenge of new media, theonlinecitizen.com, English. For site management in Singapore, also have their own set, if found to be the political nature of the site registered to the Government, and once registered as a political community, then it would be some limitations and controls, including not to accept foreign funds and so on. This site has been around for years, has recently been officially registered in Singapore to government regulations, and it does have to registered. Originally cyberspace are often anonymous, always do not know who is behind this site, management is responsible for, but once up to see a few names there. Of course, many of their comments was originally named reviews, so this is not some completely invisible before. Another site, www.temasekreview.com, its vitality is much greater than the theonlinecitizen.com.
Southern Metropolis Daily: because it is completely anonymous?
Quah Sy Ren: Yes, because it is completely anonymous. However, some time will make people feel that certain statements in the clamor, to discredit, or non-rational emotional, anyway, with the government, he certainly approved. China angry youth with a little bit like, but not exactly the same, because even on this site so to speak, often try to discuss issues or manner.
intellectual limitations of the Southern Metropolis Daily: the overall level, how do you view critical intellectuals in Singapore, the location and status in society, and the role they can produce?
Quah Sy Ren: Just about all sorts of historical reasons, in the moment, the whole of Singapore is a small non-governmental forces, and civil society are also in the entire operation of the government grasp. Although some of these also appeared spontaneously in the civil society, but they still can not fully applied force can expand, the number is actually very small. Because there are many policy limitations. For example, once you begin to occur more frequently in the media, seemed more high-profile, you began to be noticed, and watch your every move, over the years occasionally have to happen.
In addition, many of us are actually vested interests, and the vested interests is too great. This is a feature of Singapore. For example, a member of our Tangent, or to work in the media, or is teaching at the university, we are all vested interests.
Southern Metropolis Daily: You are in the middle?
Quah Sy Ren: may be even better. This is quite a state of irony. In Singapore, education is a critical thought with a certain relationship, a relatively high level of education will have a critical thinking exist in other societies may not like this, but Singapore is such that with the relationship between education and social structure is to transform the whole society after independence process of evolving.
As just said, and now there are some on the network of critical voices. For example, the abolition of the death penalty. Singapore Government abolished the death penalty can not be tolerated. The gay rights movement is another, Lee Kuan Yew argument has always been acceptable to him personally, but society is still conservative, gay community in Singapore is still not officially registered, but in this area over the government tolerance to a large tolerance for the abolition of the death penalty .
guest workers (foreign workers) the problem is in fact very serious, many guest workers are from China, some of them the situation is very bad, you say to them, more than a lot of good work in Singapore, came after the discovery was not had been told of the situation. Guest worker welfare is the problem, the Singapore government has always preferred employer. This area, there are some calling for the formal establishment of the community in assisting these guest workers.
in these areas, you can still see an active civil society. But this and we just talked about the critical intellectuals, are two different worlds. Combination of these two forces should have been, but in Singapore, the combination of these two forces is limited.
Southern Metropolis: Why there is no way these two forces combine? If you combine their strength should be greater.
Quah Sy Ren: This involves two different kinds of activities, one is the critical remarks, one specific social movements, belonging to two different field. The purpose of social movement is to change the unequal social conditions, hypothetical situation if pushed to the limit, it would be social revolution. Pipan thought and speech is the concept of debate, the case of Singapore, intellectuals within the system can also be involved, but, obviously, and in institutions, those who can not participate in the activities of the nature of a social revolution. Therefore we can say, very effective system to elect the wise and the able, the quest for most of the talents and create a huge system of Singapore, will also be given different views may sound placed in the regime.
