企业家精神的核心是创新、敬业、责任。一个多世纪以来,中国企业家的命运随着国运大势的变化而经历了一波三折。他们在进行各种经济活动的同时,也对中国的经济发展和社会进步做出了重大贡献。19世纪末20世纪初,大批有识之士兴办实业,为城市带来了新生产方式、新技术和新市场,促进了社会生产力的迅速发展,开创了中国民间资本历史上的一个黄金时代。他们还承担起一定的社会责任,通过成立城市自治团体,积极参与社会公共事务,推动了城市社会的近代化。 The core of entrepreneurship is innovation, dedication and responsibility. For more than a century, the fate of Chinese entrepreneurs has experienced twists and turns as the trend of national transport has changed. While undertaking various economic activities, they have also made significant contributions to China’s economic development and social progress. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of people of insight set up their own businesses, brought new modes of production, new technologies and new markets to the city, promoted the rapid development of social productive forces and created a golden era in the history of Chinese private capital. They also assumed certain social responsibilities and actively promoted the modernization of urban society through the establishment of urban self-governing groups and their active participation in social and public affairs.
