On Thursday, Beijing buzzed with excitement as the new book, "China's Development in the New Era – The Zhejiang Experience", was launched by Foreign Languages Press and Zhejiang International Communication Center. This engaging work, authored by David W. Ferguson, FLP's honorary English chief editor, unfolds 60,000 words of real-life stories and insightful analysis on how east China's Zhejiang is shaping a sustainable development trajectory.
Ferguson, through a series of in-depth interviews and keen observations, captures the essence of Zhejiang’s transformation. Topics like opening up to global markets, the rise of the private economy, digital innovation, and green productivity are broken down into compelling narratives that resonate with our generation. It’s like turning complex economic and cultural themes into a page-turner story – seriously cool! 😊
The launch event featured vibrant discussions where Ferguson shared behind-the-scenes stories from his research. Leaders and representatives from places such as Yiwu, Anji, Deqing, and Kecheng, as well as international students from Beijing’s universities, received personal copies of the book, fueling conversations on modernization and sustainable growth.
Adding another exciting twist, the event also introduced the convergence media series "Decode China: David Ferguson's Storytelling." This innovative series aims to bridge the strengths of both central and local media, offering dynamic narratives that bring China's modernization journey to life for global audiences.
For young news enthusiasts, business professionals, curious scholars, and cultural explorers, this book is a fresh and inspirational take on China's evolving landscape. It’s not just a book – it’s a gateway to understanding the modern pulse of Zhejiang and its key role in a rapidly developing era.
