File photo of South Korean President Park Geun-hye http://www.vapormaxschweiz.com/ , June 18, 2014. SEOUL - No ambition can be made clear without a simple life; no further accomplishment can be achieved without a calm mind.
The famous saying of Zhuge Liang, an outstanding statesman and strategist in ancient China, is the motto of South Korean President Park Geun-hye, who thinks one should take desperation as an opportunity even if he or she is suffering hardship.
In fact nike vapormax kaufen , it is the wisdom of Chinese philosophers that has helped Park get through the most difficult time in her life.
Park is the elder daughter of former South Korean President Park Chung-hee. After her parents were assassinated in her 20s, many of their friends chose to betray or disregard the family amid criticism against Park Chung-hee.
Being utterly isolated made Park "feel difficult to breathe." At that time, the lighthouse in her life to bring her inner peace is History of Chinese Philosophy written by Feng Youlan, a great Chinese thinker in the 20th century.
In her speech delivered in Tsinghua University during a visit to China in 2013, Park nike vapormax günstig , a fan of ancient Chinese philosophy, revealed how Chinese classical works had helped her get through her pain following the assassination of her parents.
"I read a lot of philosophic and classical works to pass that difficult time. I always wrote down good sentences on my notebook and read through them later. I finally overcame pain to find inner peace and important value of life," she said.
Park, 62, began her ties with Chinese culture since she was born. Looking up in a Chinese dictionary nike vapormax schweiz günstig , the Park couple gave their elder daughter a pleasant name -- "geun" means the rose of Sharon, the national flower of South Korea, while "hye" means kindness.
Park had been familiar with Chinese ancient classics at a very young age. When she was in primary school, she began to be crazy about History of the Three Kingdoms, from which she learnt legendary tales in ancient China and admired those chivalrous and smart heroes.
"Could Zhao Zilong (a military general in the Three Kingdoms period) be my first love? My heart beat fast once he appeared nike vapormax schweiz kaufen ," she wrote in her biography.
Park's early experience related to Chinese culture has made her devoted to learning Chinese language.
In her 30s, Park began to learn Chinese from TV programs. She always brought tapes with her to practise speaking Chinese. After she joined politics, Park always asked her interpreter to correct her pronunciation during her visits to China.
Now, Park's good mastery of Chinese, which has even drawn admiration from US President Barack Obama nike vapormax schwarz schweiz , is considered a weight added to China-South Korea relations.
The common view in culture has brought Park closer to China. She visited China many times before she became president. After she took office, Park, who led a big business delegation, unprecedentedly visited China prior to Japan.
Park believes the South Korean dream and the Chinese dream are interconnected and a harmonious relationship between the two countries will have bright prospects.
"I believe if the South Korean dream could accompany the Chinese dream, we will certainly realize the dream of building a new Northeast Asia nike vapormax schweiz online ," she said.
ADDIS ABABA, April 12 (Xinhua) -- For a first time visitor to Ethiopia, it is hard not to miss the construction boom all across the country.
Indeed many expatriates compare it with China's own construction boom of the 1980s and 1990s which eventually saw the Asian country become the world's second largest economy and the largest trading partner to many nations.
One such sector witnessing construction boom are industrial parks being built mostly by Chinese companies with a view to boost Ethiopia's exports in fields such as textile, leather and agro-industry.
Frehiwot Sisay, Office Manager at China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) is a first hand witness to the symbiotic relationship between Ethiopia and China.
Sisay nike vapormax schuhe schweiz , a graduate with civil engineering from South China University of Technology, says her decision to join CCCC partly was as a result of the modern buildings and infrastructure she saw as a student back in China.
"CCCC's good reputation in Ethiopia in the construction of roads and bridges also factored in my employment decision," she says, adding that she believes Ethiopians should learn from the hard work ethics and development experience of China if the country is to develop fast.
Sisay was speaking as she was inspecting the construction progress of Arerti Industrial Park 130 km east of Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital. The project is one of several flagship projects of CCCC in Ethiopia.
Arerti is one of 17 industrial parks the Ethiopian government has envisaged constructing in its ambitious Growth and Transformation Plan II (2015-2020) to boost the country's fledgling industrial base.
Sisay's belief is echoed by Abebe Aynete nike air vapormax schweiz , senior researcher at the Ethiopian Foreign Relations Strategic Studies (EFRSS), a local think thank. He says Ethiopia's policy of mutual benefit and promoting peace and stability to have sustainable economic development is something that echoes China's lines.
"Both countries approach issues from national interest instead of ideological inclinations and favor multi-polar approach in their foreign policy," he says.
No one left behind
While the likes of Sisay are high skilled labor with tertiary education experience, Chinese firms' willingness to invest in low technology and labor intensive industries means the opportunities are spread out.
Woody Lau, Business Manager at CCCC Arerti Industrial Park PLC says the completion of the first phase of Arerti would see about 300 people being employed nike vapormax schweiz , and a further expansion of the labor force is still to be expected in the second phase.
