Innovation

Innovation is the keyword that can open the door to a brand-new world. Since the Paleolithic period of human history, our ancestors started using fire to create themselves a cozier living condition which was different from the time of only icy meats and dark caves.

As it has become today, innovation played an indispensable role in ancient human society. And it has continued to evolve and be present in societies since then. If we were to examine all 5,000 years of Chinese history, it would be impossible to deny how our great ancestors during that time utilized their innovations to make their world a better place.

The compass provided us a safer and more reliable guidance to navigate on the ocean; paper and printing allowed us to create a portable and low price means of media to push the development of literature and writing; the invention of gunpowder revolutionized weapons; the longzhou assisted us to connect and to build the cross-cultural relationships between our neighboring countries; the abacus demonstrated the possibility of mathematical thinkings to us; the acupuncture showed us how medical achievements can change individuals from one day to the next; and how Baguenaudier can motivate people’s creative thinking skills.

Thanks to all these innovations, our great China became united through our pride in these achievements.

As you can see, innovation helped to promote and to reconstruct China into a more advanced nation. Even now, you can still notice that innovation is rapidly changing our world. Starting from ink and mail to we chat; from cash and wallet to Alipay, you don’t need any heavy gadgets to travel around the world anymore, just your smartphone.

I believe innovation will never stop changing our nation and our planet.
