近来回沪,发现上海的变化是巨大的。不少自幼熟悉的马路竟然不认识了,上海以一种全新的面貌矗立在黄浦江畔。不少朋友兴奋地表示,1997后,上海必超过香港。上海会超过香港吗?我的经济学理论接近文盲,但就我对香港和上海两地生活的经验积累和认识,我以为,上海与香港各有所长,互相是不可取代的。只可以作相对的比较,而不可作绝对的比较,犹如你不能比较眼睛会不会超过双手, Recently returned to Shanghai and found that the changes in Shanghai are huge. Many roads familiar to the young people did not even know, and Shanghai stood with a new look on the banks of the Huangpu River. Many friends expressed with excitement that after 1997, Shanghai must surpass Hong Kong. Will Shanghai surpass Hong Kong? My economic theory is close to illiteracy, but as I accumulate and understand the experience of living in Hong Kong and Shanghai, I think that Shanghai and Hong Kong have their own strengths and they are irreplaceable. Only relative comparisons can be made and absolute comparisons cannot be made, as if you cannot compare your eyes with your hands.
