China is developing too fast, especially in big cities. The fast-paced life makes everyone tangled and full of images. Compared with Germany, the largest economy in Europe, her people seem to live in slow motion.
For many people, the German style of doing things is too slow. A friend familiar with the German situation concluded: If China people encounter obstacles when walking, they will generally choose to bypass or cross the past because it is faster; But when the Germans met the same situation, they turned around and went home, drew drawings for a week, prepared materials and tools for another week, and finally came back to remove obstacles.
Too strict will be "slow". In order to reduce traffic accidents, Germany has a speed limit of 20 in urban areas and 30 in village roads, which is not as fast as domestic electric vehicles. In Germany, ordinary people only work 187 days a year (4 days a week), with an average working time of 7 hours a day. The supermarket is closed at the weekend, and there are no 996 jobs, but the development speed of Germany seems to be not slow.
Germany is a highly developed country. What is even more incredible is that there are more than 2,300 world-famous brands in Germany with a population of less than 83 million, which is really worth pondering.
Munich (where BMW is headquartered), Hamburg (one of Airbus's three major passenger aircraft assembly centers), Stuttgart (where Mercedes-Benz and Porsche are headquartered) and Wolfsburg (where Volkswagen is headquartered) are all famous industrial centers. "Accurate German technology" makes the Germans slow down, but makes them fast. You know, Germany was rebuilt on the ruins after World War II. At that time, even the basic labor force was lacking, and it was necessary to import a large number of labor force from Turkey to engage in infrastructure construction.
The German economy is not imaginary. Her habit is to sum up a set of methods or models, or call them toolkits, and then strictly implement them. So what seems to be "slow" is actually "fast", which makes Germany's development move towards a systematic road, rather than relying on blind high speed. Today, Germany is one of the most important scientific and technological powers in the world.
The situation in Germany can give us some enlightenment. Basic science and technological innovation are slow, but only a breakthrough in this respect can lay the foundation for explosive growth in the future. Sometimes there are shortcuts, but in the longer term, it's just a detour.
