目前全世界的文盲将近10亿,中国的文盲就达到2.9亿(含半文盲),比日本全国的人口还要多。日本人口只有中国人口的20％,日本作家的人数却是中国作家人数的300％。德国人均图书消费是120美元,我们中国人均图书消费只有7分7厘,而现在全国每年的公,私宴消费就达10000多亿元人民币,某些地方造一座坟墓耗资万元已不稀奇,有些人抖阔起来动则“高档”、“超豪华”,毫不逊色于西方的某些阔佬儿。 At present, nearly 1 billion people are illiterate in the world, and 290 million (including half illiterate) illiterate people in China are more illiterate than Japan’s population. Japan’s population is only 20% of China’s population, while the number of Japanese writers is 300% of the number of Chinese writers. The per capita consumption of books in Germany is 120 US dollars. Our average per capita consumption of books in China is only 7 points and 7%. Nowadays, the annual consumption of public and private events amounts to over 100 billion yuan. It is no wonder that some places make a grave at a cost of 10,000 yuan. Some people shaking the ground moving up the “high-grade”, “super luxury”, no less than some of the West’s big brother.
