The kindest stranger in China

(Writing while lying in bed...starting to feel sleepy, I guess there will be some gibberish...) It is not the United States that makes me feel unfamiliar, but China. One: the prosperity of appearance is inseparable from the foundation and support of the real economy. The core figures who support the real economy and the manufacturing industry are the elderly who grew up in the red flag era. He is using the militarized management thinking of that era to ensure the stability of the cornerstone of the manufacturing industry, even going abroad. More than just manufacturing. In many key industries, there are old people in the red flag era. Such as Ren Zhengfei, such as Liu Chuanzhi, such as Dong Mingzhu. The world is very new, but it cannot escape the mind and soul of the "old guy" all the time. What's more, it does work -- the kind that comes with controversy. Second, arguing about who is better and who is worse is actually a superficial thing—because no one can say who. The diversity of perspectives in The Factory is not only the diversity of national boundaries and races, but also the diversity of the era. Think about it, strangers who experienced the hard times in the 1940s, used the militarization and brainwashing in the 1960s, and managed the Chinese in the 1980s and the foreigners who "emphasized human rights" and propped up the contemporary real industry. Through the collision and contradiction of management models, you can see the similarities and differences between Chinese and American thinking, and the good and evil of human nature. With limited space and knowledge, I don't know how to talk about this, but it's really interesting. I always think of Mr. Han Song's masterpiece "Mars Shines on America". What do you think "Mars" has to do with this documentary: "Mars" is a fable that black people can be president, and Obama really lived up to this book. And also invested in the filming of "American Factory". You see, this is not the connection found.

Before I fall asleep completely, make some additions: 1. Nothing new. But the multi-angle collision is really interesting

2. The picture of the robotic arm production line is inserted at the end. It is estimated that this is to illustrate that whether it is said that labor unions are fighting for rights and interests or militarized squeezing management, workers are all victims before the benefits of mechanization and automation. But the insertion is too abrupt, and can't play the role of finishing touch at all.
