China's health is way ahead:
Mao might be criticized for a lot of things. But, in many ways he was also a pragmatist. One of the key innovations of his time was the:Barefootdoctor. These were semi-educated village doctors who dramatically improved health outcomes in the rural areas. Instead of producing only a few 1000 doctors who got through a 7-year school, why not produce 1 million doctors who go through 1-year school have basic knowledge of diseases and sanitation? This is very important for a nation growing up. China’s village doctors take great strides译文来源:龙腾网 HTTP://WWW.LTAAA.COM
India failed to do this and focusing only on Western-style Medical education. Thus, we have too few doctors to take care of 600,000 villages. As China crossed the stage 1, they abolished the Barefoot doctors and are busy in stage 2. This and other healthcare innovations show up in the stats below.
中国医疗卫生方面遥遥领先:毛可能在很多事情上遭受批评。但是在很多方面他同时也是一个实用主义者。毛时代的重大创新之一是“赤脚医生” 。
两国人民平均寿命
这些受过半桶水式教育的乡村医生显著的改善了广大农村地区卫生健康状况。与其经过7年的正规系统的学校教育培养几千个医生,不如经过1年的有关疾病和卫生等基本知识的学校教育培养100万个医生,不是吗?这对一个国家的成长非常重要。请参阅《中国的乡村医生迈开大步向前走》。 印度没能做到这一点,他只专注于西式医学教育。因此,我们仅有的几个医生却需要照顾60多万个村庄。随着中国跨过第一阶段,他们取消了赤脚医生,正在为迈入第二阶段而努力奋斗。下面的统计数据显示了赤脚医生和其他医疗创新的成果。
How can a sick undernutritioned nation grow fast?
一个因营养不良而疾病缠身的国家怎么会快速发展呢?
2 China's Infrastructure
Nothing more to say here. China has got some of the fantastic roads, railways, ports, etc. I will just use one statistic to dramatically drive home the point.
中国的基础设施
无需多说。中国已经修建了不少不可思议的公路、铁路、港口等。我只用一个统计量数据来说明即可。这方面我们还是洗洗睡吧。
