      This publication is to be used primarily in support of training
      military personnel as part of the Defense Language Program
      (resident and nonresident). Inquiries concerning the use of
      materials, including requests for copies, should be addressed to:

      Topics in the areas of politics, international relations, mores,
      etc., which may be considered as controversial from some points of
      view are sometimes included in language training for DLIFLC
      students, since military personnel may find themselves in
      positions where clear understanding of conversations or written
      material of this nature will be essential to their mission. The
      presence of controversial statements—whether real or apparent—in
      DLIFLC materials should not be construed as representing the
      opinions of the writers, of the Defense Language Institute, or of
      the Department of Defense.
    </para>
    <para>
      In DLIFLC publications, the words &quot;he,” “him,” and “his”
      denote both masculine and feminine genders. This statement does
      not apply to translations of foreign language texts.

        Asking how to address someone: If you are not sure how to
        address someone, it is usually acceptable to ask the person
        himself. Most Chinese recognize that they have a complicated
        system of terms of address, and are happy to answer such
        questions.

        Cānguān, literally, &quot;enter-look,&quot; and flngwèn.
        literally, &quot;visit-interview, &quot; are both sometimes
        translated as &quot;to visit,&quot; but there an important
        difference in their meaning: you cānguān a place (like a
        museum), but you flngwèn people. Thus, cānguān is translated as
        &quot;visit and observe,&quot; and flngwèn as &quot;visit and
        talk with.&quot; By extension, you can also flngwèn a place, but
        this implies a formal visit to a country or visits to factories
        or offices where the visitors have a chance to talk with the
        responsible people and workers. In addition, flngwèn also
        sometimes translates the English verb

          pǔtǒnghuà: &quot;the common speech,” the usual designation in
          the PRC for what we have called in this course &quot;Standard
          Chinese.&quot; PǔtSnghuà is officially defined as consisting
          of the sound system of Béijīng speech, the vocabulary and
          idiom of northern speech, and the grammar of exemplary modem
          vernacular writings. It would be inaccurate to equate
          pǔtǒnghuà with either beifang huà (&quot;northern
          speech&quot;) or Beijing huà (&quot;Béijīng speech&quot;),
          because pǔtǒnghuà has absorbed many elements from other
          dialects, contributing to its richness. Conversely, such
          things as purely regional expressions (including those of
          Béijīng itself) and non-standard pronunciations are not
          considered pǔtSnghuà. Before the PRC, the term pǔtǒnghuà
          already existed, but referred to the approximations of
          Mandarin spoken by the common people of northern China. (In
          Taiwan, the term guǒyǔ. &quot;the national language,&quot; is
          used for the officially promoted standard language.)

          Dǒngbāi: &quot;the Northeast,&quot; &quot;Manchuria&quot; The
          northeastern region of China, consisting of the three
          provinces of Liíoníng, Jilin, and Hēilíngjiing, is sometimes
          called Manchuria because the largest indigenous minority is
          the Manchu, or Mln, nationality. Of China's 2.6 million Mln,
          most live scattered throughout these three provinces and
          Hébll; there are also smaller Mln populations in the cities of
          Blijīng, Chengdu, Xi'an, and Hohhot. The Mln, and before them
          their ancestors the NÙzhén (Nuchen or Juchen, an ancient
          nationality of the same region), were a major force in Chinese
          history from the
        </para>
        <para>
          Jin Dynasty, in which the N&amp;zhēn ruled northern China for
          over a century (1115-123^), to the Manchu-run Qlng Dynasty
          (1644-1911). After the Qlng dynasty established its capital in
          BliJIng, great numbers of Màn filtered south through Shinhli
          Pass in HébSi and intermixed with the Hàn Chinese. To this
          century, large-scale Hàn migration to the Northeast (hundreds
          of thousands every year) has caused the region’s population to
          swell to 99.4 million (1976 estimate), of which only 2.4
          million are of the Min nationality. Although their ethnic
          origins are distinct from the Hàn Chinese, the Mln today are
          virtually assimilated with the Hàn racially, culturally, and
          linguistically. Most, for example, speak only Chinese; the Mln
          language, which in the last dynasty was still used alongside
          Chinese in official court documents, is well on its way to
          extinction (some Min speakers remain in Àihul and Fùyù
          counties in Hēilóngjiàng).

          oil, accounting for more than one third of the crude oil
          volume. China’s oil industry has only developed since 19^$,
          and it was the monumental exploration and drilling at Daqing,
          under extremely adverse conditions, that in large part enabled
          China to meet her own oil needs by 1963. In 1961:, Mio ZédSng

          are still the most widely used in the vast rural areas of
          Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and other minority nationality
          regions. The larger cities in these regions, however, now have

          That’s right. But also, we have many people who are especially
          interested in China’s Northeast region, in particular the oil
          city, Dàqìng. I don’t know whether we can visit it....?

          There won’t be any problem with going to Dàqìng.

          We also want to go to those famous places, like Sǔzhǒu,

          What's that? Is it because there isn't enough time?
        </para>
        <para>
          Right, there isn't enough time. I think that since you only
          have four weeks in China, your time will be almost entirely
          taken by North China, Manchuria, South China and the
          southwest. Why not visit the Northwest on your next trip to
          China. What do you say?

          Dàqìng, Professor Armstrong and the other 19 people still go
          on to Shànghiì, Sūzhǒu, Hángzhǒu and Guilin, but Miss Troiano
          goes to the Northwest with another tour group. After leaving
          the Northwest, that is, after half a month, then you go to
          Guàngzhǒu by way of Shàngh&amp;i.

          Hum, then we still leave the country together from Shenzhen.

          Right. See what you think. Perhaps that might work. However,
          we won't know if it's possible until we've looked into it.

          Still have people in them? How could that be? I thought they

          I'm positive there aren’t any other free rooms. First let me
          try and find out why those two rooms haven't been vacated yet.
          Oh! There's a note here saying that their plans have been
          changed and that they're leaving Béi-jlng at three this
          afternoon. Great! No more problem.

          Thank you. I mainly do research on Standard Chinese. I'm not
          well versed in the dialects. The main thing is that I'm very
          interested in Chinese. Manchuria, the northwest, the south,
          the north, every place, each district, has its own ways of
          speech. It's really very interesting.

          Yes. On this trip, the Chinese arranged for me to meet with a

          modernization of agriculture, industry, national defense, and
          science and technology. Comprehensive development in these
          areas by the end of the century was called for at the Eleventh
          National Party Congress in 1977, and again by Communist Party
          Chairman Huà GuSfěng at the Fifth National People's Congress
          in 1978. (This theme had been enunciated twice before, in 1965
          and 1975, by Zhou Ēnlíi.) Since 1979, the drive for the
          &quot;socialist Four Modernizations” has been at the root of
          the Chinese government's domestic policy and have also had a
          broad influence on its foreign policy.

          There's a lot we don’t understand well enough. Furthermore,

          I mean, if you put the emphasis on a few schools, will you be

        <para>
          That’s a very good question. You know, China has over a
          billion people people. There are so many people who who need
          to get an education, but educational conditions are not
          satisfactory.

          Especially since the Cultural Revolution, there have been a
          lot of problems in the area of education, so under the present

          First of all we must try to raise the level of the

        <para>
          To speed up the educational process? You mean, key schools
          have better conditions, and the level of their students and
          teachers is higher, so the students have the opportunity to
          learn more things in a shorter time.

          concentrate on science and technology, isn't that right?

          Not necessarily. I think that a large portion of them still
          have to take up teaching positions in universities. Education

          Then you learned all your Chinese here in Washington?

        <para>
          Mm. A few years ago I had a year of Chinese at the University
          of California, and since I came to Washington, I've been
          studying it all along. But iny level in Chinese still isn't
          high enough.

          Your Chinese is this good and you've never been to China, but

        <para>
          Yes, and my teachers were all Chinese, so after I left China
          my biggest problem was that I couldn't understand people
          talking and I couldn't speak. Reading is a lot easier than
          speaking.

          I guess you've probably read quite a lot of Chinese history
          and literature in America.
        </para>
        <para>
          To study the Chinese language, you have to first study a
          little history and literature, and understand a little Chinese
          culture, otherwise you're sure to have a hard time studying
          the language. Do Chinese who go abroad to study do the same
          thing?
        </para>
        <para>
          Our conditions for study are fairly good, but before a student
          goes abroad, he ought to acquire the requisite understanding
          of the country [he is going tol. In this area, we have as yet
          done far from enough-
        </para>
        <para>
          I understand that the Chinese students going abroad aren't
          very young; most of them graduated [from coliegel before the
          Cultural Revolution.
        </para>
        <para>
          Yes. In general the quality of college graduates from before
          the Cultural Revolution is higher. They're quite different
          from the post-Cul-tural Revolution college students.
        </para>
        <para>
          How about in terms of numbers?

          Their numbers are quite large, too.

          So do these graduates all take on rather important jobs?
        </para>
        <para>
          They're not all the same. At present, there are many
          pre-Cultural Revolution college graduates who have taken on
          rather important jobs. For example, in our Institute, those
          who do their work comparatively well are mostly college
          students from that time. Of course there are older ones as
          well.

          I’m sure the school will consider the question you brought up
          about wanting to learn about Chinese society. But it seems to
          me you have plenty of chances to speak Chinese! There are the
          Chinese teachers, and your Chinese classmates. Besides, you
          all speak Chinese very well now. You foreign students can
          speak Chinese among yourselves!
        </para>
        <para>
          It's natural for us to speak English together. Besides, in
          school it's all students and teachers. We want very much to
          converse with ordinary people in society.
        </para>
        <para>
          Most of us students are from ordinary families, you know. In
          particular, most college students after the Cultural
          Revolution have worked in society many years and understand
          the social situation pretty well.
        </para>
        <para>
          Oh, there's still-a difference. Society is quite different
          from the situation in the university. All of us foreign
          college and graduate students who come to China to study want
          to understand the situation here, and especially how the
          accomplishment of the Four Modernizations is progressing.
        </para>
        <para>
          Of course, of course. We understand that. But we think that
          too many social activities would probably waste a lot of your
          time.
        </para>
        <para>
          Oh, that's no problem. In American universities, we don't just
          study in school and in the library. Social life is our most
          important textbook and our best teacher.

          People's communes, of which there are now over 52,000 in
          China, are the administrative units of the countryside. There
          are three levels of commune organization: the production team,
          with from eleven to over one hundred households; the
          production brigade, with from twenty to over one thousand
          households; and the commune itself, with from six to seventeen
          brigades or from fifty-six to 275 teams. A typical commune
          might have a population of 22,500 people, broken down into
          fifteen production brigades of three hundred families each,
          and each brigade would in turn be composed of ten production
          teams of thirty families. (Of course, no actual commune would
          be divided up so evenly.) A typical county might be made up of
          thirteen communes of this size.
        </para>
        <para>
          The people's communes were formed after a long series of
          changes in the organization of the countryside, beginning with
          the Land Reform Movement of 1950. This movement distributed
          the land to the peasants; the next step was to begin the
          coordination of their efforts in production. They did this in
          1951 by forming mutual aid teams, also called work exchange
          teams. The peasants still owned their own land, plows, and
          livestock, but they pooled their manpower, tools, and other
          resources to get the work done.
        </para>
        <para>
          In 1953* elementary agricultural cooperatives were organized
          by merging several mutual aid teams. The land, tools, and
          livestock became the property of the cooperative, but the
          profits from the land were distributed, not retained by the
          eooKune for investment. In 1956, when advanced agricultural
          cooperatives were established, the distribution of profits was
          abolished.
        </para>
        <para>
          In 1958, the last step to communize China was taken. The
          people's communes were formed by the merging of several
          advanced agricultural cooperatives. What was formerly an
          advanced agricultural cooperative became, a production
          brigade. The original plan for communization had called for
          completion in 1967. Since no major problems were encountered,
          the plan was completed nine years ahead of tine.
        </para>
        <para>
          Today, commune members still live in individual houses. All
          the land, buildings<subscript>v</subscript> shops, clinics,
          large machinery, electrical power stations, factories, and so
          on, belong to the commune. However, the planning of the
          production and the payment of the members, which depends on
          the amount of production, is done on the production team
          level. All the teams have their own livestock, but they take
          turns borrowing large machines such as planters or tractors
          from the commune. Production teams often specialize in one
          type of activity, such as crop raising, machinery repair, or
          animal husbandry. Production brigades handle tasks which are
          beyond the capacity of a team, such as irrigation or the
          purchasing of a tractor. Truly large projects like road
          construction or the establishment of a large, well-equipped
          hospital, must be taken on by the commune.

          up a country. The Jargon &quot;socialist construction,&quot;
          &quot;the construction of China,&quot; or &quot;China
          reconstructs&quot; conveys an attitude toward the
          &quot;mission” facing the country: to build China from the
          ruins left by a semi-feudal, semi-colonial society into a
          socialist power and to create the conditions for the
          transition to Connunism. &quot;Socialist construction&quot;
          includes the reform of the superstructure as well as the
          development of the national economy.

          enters into many words describing people. It has a slightly
          different meaning from -zhé, which you learned in unit. 1.

          well as verbs. -Zhé means simply &quot;a person who...,&quot;

          activity. Thus, zuòjiā is &quot;professional writer,

        Okay, veil ve call this method of organizing production of

        So is this kind of specialized production very conuon throughout

      <para>
        No, most of the communes in the coúntry still mainly produce
        grain. It's only in the close suburbs of big cities that one
        finds conmunes like Sìjìqìng.

        If I get the chance, I'd also like to visit one or tvo ordinary

        I'd like very much to go look into the differences.

        You have so many varieties of rice!
      </para>

        Yes, there are a lot of varieties. The ones with the highest

      <para>
        Are their yields written down here?
      </para>
      <para>
        Yes. What you're looking at now is Capital-West Rice. It has a

      <para>
        Oh, this is one kind of Thousand-Catty Rice.
      </para>
      <para>
        Mm. Capital-West Rice is distinguished for being good to eat.
        The term Thousand-Catty Rice was first used in Jiàngnln Cthe
        area south of the lover reaches of the Yangtze River!. Today the
        yield of rice in that area is still comparatively high.
      </para>

        Of course. Jiāngnén is mostly flatlands . There are hardly any
        hills. Water is convenient, too. The conditions are better for

      </para>

        Exactly! That's why Jiāngnén has always been an important

        But I think that now agricultural production is quite good on

        Agricultural workers have higher incomes than peasants, don't

      <para>
        Not far from our farm there's a commune. In the past, their
        level of mechanization wasn't high. After everybody had toiled
        for a whole year, the commune didn't have much income, so each
        family's allotment wasn't much either. Life was really hard. But
        now, with free markets, their situation is much better. Besides
        growing grain, they now also have vegetables, fruits, and so on.
        Their income is more and more every year.

        So how much cash income can a laborer earn per year?

        I don't really know the average figure. I know one family with

        cash income.

        Mm, that is much better. But vhy has the change been so great?
      </para>
      <para>
        That’s because nov the economic policy of the government is

          That’s right. Běijīng is in the northernmost part of the North
          China Plain. On the northwest it is bordered by mountains; to
          the east and south there are flatlands.
        </para>
        <para>
          This kind of topography made people feel as if it were easier
          to guard against invasions from the north.
        </para>
        <para>
          Especially after the Great Wall was built, it was even easier
          to guard against ^invasions!.
        </para>
        <para>
          I understand the Great Wall has been repaired I-don’t-know how
          many times.
        </para>
        <para>
          From the Qin dynasty down to the present the Great Wall has
          been under repair all along. We must remember that no matter
          when, we must always beware of invasion from the north!
        </para>
        <para>
          You're such a card. Oh yes—it seems to me that the section of
          the Great Wall we went to see the day before yesterday wasn’t
          built during the Qin dynasty, was it?
        </para>
        <para>
          Mm, it was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty Great
          Wall is over two hundred li north of Bādálīng. So the Great
          Wall that foreign friends who come to sightsee in China
          usually see isn't the oldest section.
        </para>
        <para>
          Is the &quot;Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li” really ten
          thousand li long?
        </para>
        <para>
          Yes. The Great Wall passes through seven provinces and
          altogether is 12,000 li long.
        </para>
        <para>
          Besides the Great Wall, we building workers* are also very
          interested in the underground palaces of the Thirteen Tombs.

          Oh, yes—the Temple of Heaven. That reminds me. I’ve heard that
          the Temple of Heaven is very special. But for some reason I
          don’t know, it doesn’t seem to be on our tour schedule.
        </para>
        <para>
          That doesn’t matter. We’ll talk about it with the China Travel
          Service, and if they don’t have time to set it up, we can go
          by ourselves on Sunday.
        </para>
        <para>
          Go ourselves on Sunday! That’s a great plan! Can your husband
          and children all come too?
        </para>
        <para>
          Probably. My spouse and my oldest son are both in building.
          They can do a proper job of showing you the special
          architectural characteristics of the Temple of Heaven.

          How shall we go there?

          crowded on Sundays.
        </para>
        <para>
          Mm. From the Běijīng Hotel we walk to the Gate of Heavenly
          Peace, then we cross the square, and not far from there is the
          Temple of Heaven.
        </para>
        <para>
          Okay. Then that’s the decision. Only, I wonder how large the
          Temple of Heaven is? Could we see it in half a day?
        </para>
        <para>
          The Temple of Heaven is much smaller than the Summer Palace.
          The main structures include only two parts.
        </para>
        <para>
          You can probably finish seeing it in half a day. Why? Do you
          have other things to do on Sunday?
        </para>
        <para>
          Sunday afternoon we’ve been invited to dinner. It would be
          embarrassing if we didn’t go, but admiring architectural art
          is certainly an important thing, and half a day probably won’t
          be enough!

        <para>
          Right. When we walked in front of the old city hall, seeing
          all those modern restaurants, and the magazines, books,
          newspapers, paintings, and so on, it really made me feel very
          bad.

          Well, that’s modern society, you know! How can it do without
          modern things? Take Qiánménwài in Běijīng, for example. It
          used to have a lot of little shops. After liberation, it was
          fixed up many times, but it still wasn’t too good. Later a lot
          of new big stores were built, and it looked much neater.
          What's wrong with that?

          Using yìqī, &quot;together,&quot; can remove the ambiguity: Tā

        Mr. Sun, I read your writings a long time ago. Your research in

        Thank you. This factory of ours was founded in the early
        fifties.

        Then it wasn’t too long after New China was established.

        Did the Soviet Union help you construct it?

      <para>
        No, it was constructed completely by the Chinese people
        themselves. At that time the government spent six hundred
        million to construct this factory.

      <para>
        Six hundred million?

      <para>
        Six hundred million People’s Currency. At that time we were very
        poor, and Hěilōngjiāng being a border region on top of that, we
        didn’t even have the minimum technical conditions. But under the
        leadership of the Party and with the efforts of everyone, we are
        developing.

        I understand that in the fifties and sixties this factory held

        that' time?
      </para>
      <para>
        Yes. I was at this factory from the day it was established up
        until 1966.
      </para>
      <para>
        And then you left?
      </para>
      <para>
        Right. I didn’t come back until 1977.
      </para>
      <para>
        I hear that at that time this factory had a lot of trouble.
      </para>
      <para>
        Hēilōngjiāng wasn’t one of the regions with the most trouble,
        but in 1977 this factory had to start production Just about from
        scratch.
      </para>
      <para>
        That must have taken a great effort.
      </para>
      <para>
        Absolutely. We put a lot of effort into building up mining areas
        and this factory. We also expended a lot of effort on other
        problems.
      </para>
      <para>
        What kinds of problems?

      </para>
      <para>
        Generally speaking, things are pretty good now. I think in
        another ten years, by the nineties, our factory will occupy an
        even more important position in the nation's industrial
        production.

        Was there something in particular you wanted to see me about?
      </para>
      <para>
        Just a small matter I wanted to talk with you about. I've read
        that article of yours called &quot;Thirty Years of the People's
        Republic of China.&quot; I think that after the last thirty
        years of construction, China's economic level has risen a great
        deal. The changes have been pretty big.
      </para>
      <para>
        The changes are big, but at present our economic power is still
        much weaker than many advanced countries. We still have a lot of
        work to do.
      </para>
      <para>
        In the article it says that from the point of view of
        production, in 19^9 light and heavy industry only occupied
        thirty percent in the national economy but now they occupy
        seventy-five percent. If things keep developing this way, what
        will happen to the relationship between agriculture, light
        industry, and heavy industry?
      </para>
      <para>
        We're not at all worried about that. Right now, doing a good Job
        of the Four Modernizations is the central task of the people of
        the whole country. In the Four Modernizations, agricultural
        modernization is the first big Job.
      </para>
      <para>
        That policy is right. It has only been because there has been
        development in agriculture in the last few years that light and
        heavy industry

          That’s right. Take Sìchuān, for example. It’s so full of
          resources, yet in-the seventies, industrial production Just
          couldn’t go up: again, it was on account of problems with
          agricultural production.
        </para>
        <para>
          Sure. The population of Sìchuān is in first place in the whole
          country. The food problem is a big one.
        </para>
        <para>
          In recent years there have been big changes in the situation

          The leadership hasn’t said yet, but I think I’ll probably have

          could fill you in on it.

          Well, over all these years, has the technological development

          I’d say the traditional textile industry has developed rather
          rapidly, but such things as nylon and synthetic fibers haven’t
          developed fast enough.
        </para>
        <para>
          I understand that China’s light industry used to be all on the
          coast, for example in the region of Tiānjīn, Shànghāi, and
          Guāngdōng. Has the situation in the interior also changed a
          great deal now?
        </para>
        <para>
          Yes. The situation differs from place to place, but there’s
          one thing that’s the same everywhere.
        </para>
        <para>
          What’s that?
        </para>
        <para>
          A lot of places that used to be agricultural regions have now
          started to develop, and have light industry, or even heavy
          industry.
        </para>
        <para>
          Yes! Jiāngsū is the same. A large metal industry has developed
          there.
        </para>
        <para>
          In another few years the gulf oil industry will develop

          Xlnjiàng: The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, formerly known
          as Sinkiang or Chinese Turkestan, is China's westernmost area.
          The largest of the country's autonomous regions and provinces,
          Xinjiang makes up one sixth of China's total area. In this
          vast land of great natural beauty and sharp geographical
          contrasts, plentiful resources make conditions ideal for the
          development of industry, agriculture, and livestock farming.
        </para>
        <para>
          Xinjiang has held an important place in China's politics and
          economy since ancient times. In the days before the
          large-scale navigation of the seas, Xinjiang was crossed by
          the famous &quot;Silk Road,&quot; by which economic and
          cultural ties were maintained between China and other Asian
          and European countries. During the Western Hàn period over two
          thousand years ago, incursions by the Xiōngnú (Hsiungnu) led
          the Chinese central government to a policy of occupying the
          oasis cities of southern Xinjiang as garrison posts. Xinjiang
          has been intimately connected with China ever since that time,
          although their relations have often been turbulent. The Qlng
          dynasty made a province of Xinjiang (the name means &quot;the
          New Dominion&quot;) in 188b. From the Chinese revolution in
          1911 until 19^9, Xinjiang remained under authoritarian Chinese
          control at the same time that local nationalist forces were
          also at work. Communist Chinese forces &quot;liberated&quot;
          Xinjiang from late 19^9 until the spring of 1950. Xinjiang
          became an autonomous region on October 1, 1955.
        </para>
        <para>
          Xinjiang is surrounded by mountains: the Altay in the north;
          the Kunlun in the south and vest; and the Tianshan Range, over
          200 kilometers wide, which cuts across the center from east to
          west. Between these mountain ranges cure basins of varying
          sizes. Southern Xinjiang has the Tarim Basin and northern
          Xinjiang the Deungarian Basin. In addition there are smaller
          basins such as the RagH and Turf an Basins. All cure
          well-suited to agriculture and livestock farming. Xīnjiing
          fine-wool sheep and Yllí horses are famous throughout China.
          Despite a harsh seven-month winter, the north has its herdsmen
          who put their horses and sheep to graze on the wide grasslands
          for the brief summer. In the arid south, too, livestock
          herding is a major occupation. In agricultural areas, the dry
          climate makes irrigation indispensable; a full ninety percent
          of Xinjiang's farmland is irrigated. The areas around Turpan
          and Um* are famous for their &quot;karez&quot; (kànrjing)
          irrigation, a system for conveying water from sources under
          mountain slopes to farmland by means of man-made underground
          channel a. Crops include winter and spring wheat, cotton,

          its fruits— cantaloupe, melons (hǎmìguǎ) from Shànshàn and
          seedless grapes from Turpan are available-in season in
          Bǎijīng's markets. The Tiānshān and Altay Mountains, covered
          with evergreen forests, are rich in wildlife and in precious
          herbs which go-into the making of Chinese medicines. Xīnjiǎng
          has important deposits of petroleum (especially at Karamay
          CKèlǎmǎyīl), coal, iron, gold, Jade, and uranium (in the Altay
          Mountains). The main industries are petroleum, metallurgy,
          coal, electric power, chemicals, construction materials,
          textiles, and sugar refining.
        </para>
        <para>
          About half the population of Xīnjiǎng is of the Uygur (Uighur)
          nationality (see the note on Wéiwúǎr. &quot;Uygur,” under
          number 7), and over forty percent are Hàn Chinese. The rest of
          the population belongs to one of these ethnic groups: Kazak
          (Kazakh), Hui (Chinese Moslem), Mongol, Kergez (Kirghiz), Xibo
          (Sibo), Tajik (Tadzhik), Uzbek, Manchu, Daur (Tahur), and
          Tartar (Tatar). There are also several hundred Russians. In
          the north of Xīnjiǎng there is a Hàn majority, and in the
          south, a Uygur majority. The capital Ōrūmqi (Wúlúmùqí), with a
          population of 800,000 (1980, est.), is the region's center for
          industry, commerce, and transportation. Xīnjiǎng University in
          (Jrūmqi has departments of Chinese, government, history,
          foreign languages, math, physics, chemistry, biology, and
          geography. Kashgar (Chinese Kǎshi). ancient gateway of the
          silk trade, is still a commercial and craft center. Kuldja
          (Chinese Yīníng) is a commercial center which produces leather
          and tobacco, and also has metallurgical and textile industry.
          Other cities of note are Kuytun (Chinese Kuítún). Hotan
          (Hétìǎn). Shíhézi, and Yarkand (Shǎchē).

          Wéiwú&amp;r: The Uygur, or Uighur, a Turkic people who, with a
          population of six million, constitute one of China's largest
          national minorities. Their early history, like that of other
          peoples of central Asia, is unrecorded. Some scholars have
          hypothesized that their origins were Indo-European rather than
          Turkic. At any rate, they emerge into the light of history in
          the T&amp;ng dynasty. At that time, they were a nomadic people
          well known to the Chinese; in fact, they helped the T&amp;ng
          overthrow a hostile Turkic empire in Mongolia in 7UU. The
          Uygurs, in turn, established an empire in the area, but this
          lasted only until 8U0, when the wild Kergez sacked their
          capital and killed their khan. A portion of their population
          then migrated westward to the oases of the Tarim Basin. There,
          they mixed with the local Turkic population, and although the
          Uygur racial strain dominated, they adopted the Turkic
          language and no longer called themselves Uygurs. Gradually,
          their occupation shifted from nomadic herding to farming. The
          resulting stability allowed a great development in their
          literature and arts, especially song and dance. In the tenth
          century, closer contact with merchants, travelers, and
          settlers from the Middle East stimulated their conversion to
          Islam, a process which took several centuries to complete.
        </para>
        <para>
          Modern times have witnessed the emergence of Uygur
          nationalism, reflected in their official readoption of the
          historical name &quot;Uygur&quot; earlier in this century.
          Uygur leaders have often resisted control by outside powers,
          and even attempted to establish an independent republic in the
          region. Under Chinese authority today, the Uygurs, who remain
          for the most part a farming people living and marrying within
          the village unit, have a limited degree of regional autonomy
          and are guaranteed cultural freedom and linguistic rights by
          the PRC Constitution.

          chAng and gSngchāng: GSngchāng (introduced in No. 7 above) is
          the generic term for a factory or plant. If you were talking
          about the installations in an area and wanted to say that
          there were schools, factories, and hospitals, you would use
          gSngchāng. Chāng. on the other hand, is only used in specific
          contexts. If you are talking about a specific factory, you can
          say chXnglī for &quot;in the factory.&quot; A worker can say
          wSmen chāng for &quot;our fac-toryT” You can also use chāng in
          certain compound nouns which specify what the factory makes,
          as in dìtānchāng.

          among these seven million people there are thirteen

          Oh. How long has there been interchange between the minority
          nationalities of Xīnjiāng and the Han people?
        </para>
        <para>
          Economic interchange between the Xīnjiāng region and the
          interior has been going on for several thousand years.
          Economic and cultural interchange which was put down in
          writing began around 600 B.C. In ŌO B.C., after several wars,
          Xīnjiāng was united with the interior, and there began to be
          more and more cultural and artistic interchange.
        </para>
        <para>
          I understand that many people have moved to Xīnjiāng since
          liberation.
        </para>
        <para>
          In 1950, Xīnjiāng was peacefully liberated. After the PLA
          arrived here, they carried on economic construction with the
          peasants. Since 19Ō2, every year, a lot of young people have
          come here. Back then, life in the border region was much worse
          than in the interior; but now, construction has been pretty
          well carried out.
        </para>
        <para>
          And where have all these young people who are carrying on the
          construction of the borderlands come from?

          Most of them are youth from Tiānjīn, Běijīng, Shànghāi, and

          they can go back to visit their original home. Most of

        <para>
          Your Chinese is very good! Did you learn it in Běijīng?
        </para>

          Mainly, but I wasn’t in Běijīng when I started learning it.

          Oh. They teach Chinese in schools in the Xīnjiǎng Uygur
          Autonomous Region, do they?
        </para>
        <para>
          Except for the Hàn nationality schools, secondary and primary
          schools in the autonomous region teach the minority
          nationality languages, especially the Uygur language.
        </para>
        <para>
          Is the Uygur language related to the languages of the Middle
          East?
        </para>
        <para>
          Yes. Uygur is rather close to Turkish. The old Uygur writing
          system was basically an Arabic writing system. The new writing
          system uses the Roman alphabet.
        </para>
        <para>
          Well, how do they handle words like &quot;the Communist Party”

        <para>
          The pronunciation of words like that is mostly like Chinese,
          or like Russian

        <para>
          I’m sorry: Do more Uygurs understand Chinese or Russian?

          Generally speaking, there are still more who understand
          Russian.

          That's right. China is a unified socialist family made up of
          many nationalities. War between these groups is already a

          problems are still very troublesome, and that the living
          conditions and status of minorities are still very inferior.

          Loess is a fine-grained, chalky soil between silt and clay,
          actually a deposit of windblown sand. China's loess deposits
          are the most extensive in the world; they cover most of Shánxī
          and Shánxi provinces, and the better part of Gànsù, and extend
          into Hébéi and Hénán as well. Because it holds moisture well,
          loess makes good farming ground when irrigated. Loess is buff
          to gray in color (the Chinese word for loess, huángtǔ, means
          literally, 'yellow soil&quot;) and it is loess that gives the
          Yellow River its distinctive yellowish appearance.

          and the object of bèi is the doer of the action:

          Unlike most prepositional verbs, bèi can be used without an
          object, as in sentence 8B. Here is another example:

              these cases, dào sometimes implies satisfaction with the
              state of affairs, sometimes dissatisfaction, and sometimes
              is neutral. In addition, it sometimes has an ironic
              meaning, as in the last three examples below.

          As you see, if you use li&amp;ngbèi, &quot;two times,&quot; in
          a comparison sentence, the meaning comes out to &quot;the base
          amount plus two times the base amount,&quot; i.e., three times
          the base amount. Likewise, if you use yíbèi, &quot;one
          time,&quot; the meaning is &quot;the base amount plus one time
          the base amount,&quot; or in other words, twice the base
          amount.

          Yeah. The people in Manchuria did quite a good job. Every

          No, she's not a native of Hēilǒng-jiāng, but she really knows
          the place well. History, culture, industry, agriculture, you
          name it. She's very interesting to listen to.
        </para>
        <para>
          I know who she is. She used to be a worker in an automobile
          manufacturing plant, and now she's one of the Travel Service's
          advanced workers. Her name is Jǐn Xiāoméi.
        </para>
        <para>
          Right, right. That reminds me, one day our bus broke down, and
          everyone was very worried. We didn’t think we could possibly
          make it in time for our tour. But that advanced worker worked
          under the bus for a while with some other people, and in less
          than ten minutes the bus was fixed!
        </para>
        <para>
          So that day, you still made it to all the places you were

        <para>
          Yes. Sometimes I think to myself, this Jin Xiāoméi is really
          quite a smart person, why doesn't she go to college? Did she
          do something wrong during the Cultural Revolution?
        </para>

          Oh, no. Now, no matter where you work, you have a lot of

          Sure. For example, the iron and steel company that we're going

          study technology in their spare time.

          Much better. The company has dining halls and kindergartens.

          The Capital Iron and Steel Company is even bigger than a town.
          More than seventy or eighty percent of the staff and workers

          Right. Industrial pollution isn’t good for agricultural

          Your factory’s family housing is all very clean and very new!
        </para>
        <para>
          Our factory’s housing is pretty good. The factory’s leadership
          says that a few more buildings are going to be built, too.
        </para>
        <para>
          Isn’t there enough housing yet?
        </para>
        <para>
          No. Our factory is very far from the city. It’s really pretty
          inconvenient for the staff and workers who live in the city to
          get to and from work.
        </para>
        <para>
          Are there still a lot of workers living in town?
        </para>
        <para>
          Yes, and there are also a lot of technical personnel living in
          town. Especially for those working couples who don’t work in
          the same factory, wrestling with the buses before and after
          work is even more tiring than work itself. How can you expect
          them to keep that up very long? So no matter how busy we are,
          we have to put up a few new buildings for staff and workers.
        </para>
        <para>
          And have them all move from the town out here?
        </para>
        <para>
          No, they can stay in the dormitories here, but go home every
          Saturday. That way, from Monday to Friday, they can take
          courses after work at our factory’s evening university, which
          would be great.

          Are there a lot of workers taking classes at the evening

        <para>
          Quite a few. Roughly over half of our young workers take one
          or two courses. According to the teachers, the students’ level
          has practically caught up with the pre-Cultural Revolution
          level.

        Ji&amp;oyìhuì: &quot;trade fair&quot; Jiāoyì means
        &quot;business, trade, transaction,&quot; and hui is the same
        word you knov from kāi hui, &quot;to have a meeting.&quot; The
        full name of the GuSngzhōu Trade Fair is Zhōngguō Chùkōu
        Shāngpln Jlāoyìhuì, the Chinese Export Commodities Fair
        (CECF).Since the first CECF in 957, every spring and autumn
        GuSngzhōu is inundated with businessmen and people of all walks
        of life connected with trade—more than 25,000 at each Fair.
        Chinese agricultural and industrial products are displayed in
        the Fairground buildings and open areas, located on HSizhū
        GuSngchSng (Haizhu Square) between the railroad station and the
        Dōngfāng Bīnguán (Dongfang Hotel). The Fair is held from April
        15 to May 15 and from October 15 to November 15.

        As the name implies, the CECF’s main purpose is to assist

        export processing zones (EPZs) which have been extremely
        successful in places such as Taiwan. China established SEZs to
        bring in the foreign capital needed to create jobs and modernize
        the national economy. In these zones, foreign investors’ assets,
        profits, and other rights and interests are legally protected,
        and their operations enjoy tax and duty exemptions. Proposed
        investment projects are examined and approved by the Provincial
        Arim-lnìat.ration of the SEZ, which also draws up its own
        development plans and organizes their implementation. The SEZs
        compete with each other for foreign Investment As of 1981»
        Guángdōng province had three SEZs—Shēnzhèn, ZhūhXi (near Macao),

        Hey, Xiǎo Chén, have you been out shopping?

        Yes. When one comes to Guǎngzhōu, one can’t go back
        empty-handed. I bought a shirt for my wife.
      </para>
      <para>
        Well! What a classy shirt! The price is also pretty good. Later,
        I’ll go buy a couple, too. Is this kind of shirt produced in
        Guǎngzhōu?
      </para>
      <para>
        No, it’s produced in Sǔzhǒu.
      </para>
      <para>
        We didn’t see any when we were in Sǔzhǒu! Apparently, all of

        The machines and consumer items at the Guǎngzhōu Trade Fair are
        shipped here from all over the country, and after being
        exhibited, are sold right here in Guǎngzhōu, so the stores here
        sell a lot of different items, and of good quality.
      </para>
      <para>
        Xiǎo Chén, I wanted to find out from you how the processing
        industry in the vicinity of Guǎngzhōu is developing?
      </para>
      <para>
        In recent years, it has been developing rather quickly. The main
        thing is that there are some foreign companies participating in
        these factories , so their production is very distinctive.
      </para>
      <para>
        I saw a story in the paper today that said that ’’special

      </para>
      <para>
        Yes. There are already special zones like this in Guǎngdōng,
        Fújiàn, and Shànghǎi. In the future, there will probably be even
        more of them.

      </para>
      <para>
        All right! Let’s go together, and chat on the vay.
      </para>
      <para>
        Okay!...You’ve probably heard that nov there are fever
        restrictions on imports and exports, and ve have also concluded
        trade treaties vith many countries, and are starting to engage
        in economic cooperation. So the trade fair has been particularly
        lively the past fev years.
      </para>
      <para>
        I’ve noticed that myself. Nov, as soon as you valk into the hall
        of the trade fair, your eyes can’t take everything in. It’s
        really getting better and better. And I hear that nov there are
        small-scale trade fairs in other places, vhich a lot of foreign
        delegations attend. Is that so?
      </para>
      <para>
        Yes. Especially since the Sino-American sea transportation
        treaty, the larger ports have become even more prosperous. In
        these ports and in Běijīng, there are nov small-scale trade
        fairs vhere many foreign merchants do business.
      </para>
      <para>
        Oh, yes. I’ve heard that. So I think the coastal region vill

        Generally speaking, in factories that have the participation of
        foreign companies, although the wages are higher, the efficiency
        is also higher. &quot;More pay for more work&quot; is the
        economic policy of socialism, you see!

      <para>
        One small question. The last few trade fairs have all looked
        very successful. Foreign businessmen have rarely gone home
        empty-handed. But couldn’t you change certain things a little
        faster?
      </para>
      <para>
        Of course, we always consider suggestions from foreign
        businessmen. The purpose of holding the Guàngzhōu zhōu Trade
        Fair is to make foreign trade prosper!
      </para>
      <para>
        I Just have one suggestion. Could you make your beer bottles
        smaller? We like the beer that China exports, but we don’t like
        those big bottles that look like soy sauce bottles. They’re
        difficult to ship. Besides, on weekends we like to go out on
        trips. It’s so convenient to have small bottles which you can
        throw out when you’re finished.
      </para>
      <para>
        Thank you. That’s a very good suggestion. It was already made by
        a trade delegation from Hong Kong when they came here. Later, we
        can show you our smaller-bottle beer, but at present this kind
        of beer cannot yet be produced on a large scale. Our equipment
        still has many limitations.
      </para>
      <para>
        Perhaps some of our American companies might be able to
        cooperate with China in this area and raise your bottling
        efficiency.

        Hello, Mr. Liú, I haven’t seen you in a long time.

      <para>
        Fújiàn. Near Fúzhōu there’s a very large special economic zone
        where I stayed a few days. I found it very interesting.
      </para>
      <para>
        Yes. Ever since we concluded the sea transport treaty with you,
        our big ports have been getting more and more prosperous.

        Not only that, but some very interesting things have come about

        Chinese workers who live in special economic zones have larger

        economic zones? Will a new political situation develop?

        You mustn’t think like that. During those few years, we were
        mistaken to engage only in politics and not in economics.
        Moreover, we didn’t even handle the politics well.
      </para>
      <para>
        So you don’t think that there will be any big problems between
        this situation and the socialist wage policy?
      </para>
      <para>
        You can rest assured about that. &quot;More pay for more
        work&quot; is our policy, and it won’t change. Socialism and the
        policy of &quot;more pay for more work&quot; must go hand in
        hand. Most of the companies and factories in special economic
        zones have foreign merchants participating. They have better
        facilities and higher efficiency. It’s right that their workers
        have higher pay. The situation could never become so serious
        that a new class would appear.
      </para>
      <para>
        Wonderful. Thank you.

        prosper is one part of that big direction, and it’s our
        long-term policy. We won’t change it arbitrarily. Ask our
        friends in all spheres to rest assured.
