But that leads us to our next lesson for understanding China from my walk.
我從徒步旅行中學到了另一條關于了解中國方面的經驗。
As I walked through towns and villages, I would see everywhere no matter what time of day,
當我走過城鎮和村莊，無論什么時候我都能看到人們在勞動，
people would be working, but often they will be working for themselves.
但他們往往會為自己的夢想而勞動。
You know, enterprises is very much part of the Chinese dream.
大家都知道，企業是中國夢的重要組成部分。
The idea of setting up your own business is an incredibly powerful dream that people have.
建立自己的企業是人們擁有的一個遠大理想。
Many advanced economies have failed because of this reason that as it gone through the industrial revolution,
許多發達經濟體會失敗是因為在其經歷工業革命時期，
the big industries have sucked in all of the talent to a few small employers
一些大型產業把所有的人才吸引到一些小雇主那里，
and when those industries decline and companies fail as they will, there's no new growth left to take its place.
當這些行業衰退，公司倒閉，卻沒有新的增長點取而代之。
Therefore, perhaps one of the most telling statistics that you could find about the new China is this,
這也許是你能發現的關于新中國的最有意義的一個統計，
is that a number of new enterprises that started in China doubled between 2010 and 2016, ok, that's fine.
在2010和2016年之間，中國一批新的企業紛紛成立，并且在數量上實現翻倍。
But let me tell you what a double, too. 1.6 million, still not impressed, let me put that in context.
讓我告訴你另外一點。160萬這個數字可能不會給你留下深刻的印象，讓我把它放在特定背景中。
1.6 million new businesses created in China
中國新成立的160萬家新企業
is more than all the new businesses created in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, all those together.
超過了德國、英國和美國所有新企業加在一起的數量。
It's incredible investment in the future, because people are optimistic,
這是對未來的一項大投資，因為人們很樂觀，
because people are working hard and because they have invested in the future of themselves and of others.
努力工作，愿意為自己和他人的未來進行投資。
