This film tells the story of William Kankumba from the Republic of Malawi who was forced to drop out of school due to economic problems when he was a child. He successfully built a windmill generator with simple tools and materials from a waste yard through the knowledge he taught himself in the library. , making his family one of two percent of the electricity-using population in Malawi. This country became independent from the United Kingdom in 1964, 15 years after the founding of China, and its economic model is still maintained at the stage of planting cash crops and exporting foreign exchange. A good government is like a savvy P-player who trains the population into different professionals and assigns them to different fields. This player may ignore the so-called "dignity" or "right" of the individual, etc., in his eyes, it is more of a numerical value. For example, in order to release manpower, it is necessary to fight local tyrants. In order to concentrate manpower in industrialization, the countryside must be forced to support the city, and in order to develop the industry, a generation must be dedicated to the assembly line. What is needed in this process is a fool, no matter how scolded or ridiculed by others, it is all about moving forward. But when the value reaches a certain level, "industrialization" can be turned on. When the country you play becomes an industrial country, then your population can reflect more diversity and creativity, and the country has the conditions and material basis for them to go. Experiment and implement multiple ideas. These things cannot be blended, but fortunately, the material is abundant enough for you to take risks and try. In this process, there are liars, lunatics, and fools. Maybe only one success in a hundred cases, but one success will drive the progress of the entire industry. To start industrialization is the first 30 years, and to take risks is the next 30 years. Fools and lunatics must not deny each other and recognize each other's contributions. But in a backward country, people can only hope that the sky will come down to a macho. This macho is rushing forward in a certain field, pulling a project forward, and because the whole country is not a game of chess, no matter how the world develops We have to learn all over again, instead of standing on the shoulders of giants. The macho is not sustainable, he has no way to connect the whole country and the whole society, so people will perish. For example, in this video, the child showed his father a small wind power for the first time, and his father told him to take it away. Neither of them is wrong, the child has long-term worries, and the father has near-term worries. In fact, power generation is not a difficult act for a modern industrial country at all, but the villagers in the film have to rely on their own efforts to start from scratch and use the most primitive way to generate electricity. A wise player of the P club will directly strip the child from the countryside. This step is a step that lacks "humanization" to attack the "dignity" of the individual. It is more painful. After the pain, the child can directly enter the industry and manufacture Wind power, in the future, will directly transmit electricity to rural areas through infrastructure. Dad doesn't need to think about building electricity, he can use it directly one day. - Wang Xiao
