The Father

Father is the main economic supporter for a family. Most fathers are playing the most important role in each family. Having a successful father is not only important to a family, but also for a country. The first leader of China Mao Ze Dong was one of successful fathers of China who succeed in leading Chinese to fight for freedom with Japanese for eight years. However, he began closing the gate of China and stared the Cultural Revolution in 1966. He was against people who have well-educated in the Cultural Revolution. Either many people were being killed or being sent to develop the Northwest, which was the poorest part of China. Most Chinese were not allowed to be educated and the economy of China was going forward since the Cultural Revolution began. In 1978, another father of China appeared. His name was Deng Xiao Ping who succeeds in opening China to the world. After going through most percentages of ballots in the 11^th Communist Party of China, Deng Xiao Ping started the Economic Reform in the People’s Republic of China. In order to increase Chinese economy soon, he published the Open-door Policy of China and developed many special Economic Provinces in the South coastland of China in 1979.

The Open-door Policy was the key to open the gate of China and lead China into the world. Deng Xiao Ping created four special economic provinces, which were Shen Zhen, Zhu Hai, San Tow and Xia Men. He welcomed any international trade and the foreign direct investment from worldwide to these estimated provinces. I remember my mother told me the Chinese history when I was young. All Chinese didn’t allow to own personal property in the Cultural Revolution. Even though people were good at producing property, the final income still belonged to the Chinese government. In addition, Chinese government had set up an Iron Blow to the masses, which meant no one had to worry about their job and even their three meals in a day. My mother told me she was quite happy during that time because she didn’t have to worry about their life. Most people didn’t work hard on their position, and they didn’t have to study. Therefore, nobody wanted to work hard in the firm Iron Blow at that time. After the Open-door Policy was pronounced, it changed the ownership of the property, which allowed people to own personal property. This movement was not only encouraging people to work for themselves, but also succeed in developing each trade in the same time. Deng Xiao Ping has pronounced a famous sentence which was the goal of this movement, he said:”Let a tiny part of people getting rich at first.” After two years, the four special Economic Provinces became the most important harbors and main invest provinces. Therefore, Deng Xiao Ping continued to open another fourteen Special Economic Provinces in the coming years.

Economy is intimately related to our standard of living. Consequently, the Open-door Policy was the key to change the standard of living for Chinese. When China still stayed in the Cultural Revolution, each family had the limit foods tickets per month, such as Oil Tickets, Port Tickets, Rice Tickets, and Flour Tickets. My grand-parents had three children at that time, even though you had enough money to buy foods to feed your children, you still weren’t to buy any foods or even requested more Food Tickets. Meanwhile, many people always didn’t buy foods they wanted because no any famer who wanted to plant under the Iron Blow. As a result, there had not enough food to provide to the seventy billion Chinese at that time. Subsequently, the Open-door Policy was the most important transition for the stander of living for Chinese. We were not even allowed to buy foods without any Food Tickets, but also our standard of living was continuing increase. For instance, we can buy any international products such as Durian, perfume, and some high-tech products.

The Open-door Policy was also the most important transform in education in China. Since my parents were born in the Cultural Revolution, they didn’t finish High School. They stayed in the Northwest over three years. My mother said she planted rice Xing Ling when she was in high school, where was still a one of poor provinces in China. My father was an iron smelter, worked for a big iron factory which owned by the government. My mother also told me all women were sent to plant food, and all men were sent to build structures. In addition, none of them could be educated. Fortunately, the people in my generation had a successful leader and his great Economic Reform exist. We could have chance to travel to board, to be educated in the U.S., and to though the eyes to the beautiful world. Otherwise, I would still growing rice in somewhere in China.

As my parents always told me, my chance to go to the U.S. was mostly because of President Deng Xiao Ping, and I completely agree with my parents. If Deng Xiao Ping didn’t exist, China still closed itself, if the Economic Reform haven’t been published, China had never in the list of the strongest countries in the world. The increasing rate of Chinese Economy was cause of his smart Economic Reform movement. He was successful to lead Chinese Economy to up and introduced China to the world, and it still had nobody can compare with him. It was without any doubt to say Deng Xiao Ping was a successful father of the Economic Reform and the father of the new China.
