Beijing drew the whole world's attention with the 2008 Olympics. But it is also an ancient city that has been the nation's capital for 850 years in its total history of more than 3,000 years. It is a great city with the magnitude of a vast country and the hustle and bustle of a thriving cosmopolis. It is home to the humorous Beijingers, who take immense pride in world-known landmarks like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. The long, glorious history has brought Beijing an air that is elegant, unconventional, yet reserved; the fast-developing economy and culture have never stopped making facelifts to the old city. The interesting and amazing contrast between the old and new has enticed numerous people to admire and experience the city's unique charm.

Thirty years ago, China took to the road of reform and opening up to the outside world under the guidance of its chief architect Deng Xiaoping. The development and opening of Pudong in Shanghai is one of the outstanding achievements of Deng's theory on building socialism with Chinese characteristics. Former President Jiang Zemin once described it as "the symbol of China's reform and opening up." Those who are engaged in the study of Chinese economy in general and China's reform and opening up program in particular may well use it for case study and as a window for observation. This book reviews the progress of Pudong's development. At the same time, it reveals the key concepts and basic views formed by the leaders of Shanghai and participants in Pudong's development in the course of their exploration.
Since China's tidal wave of Reform and Opening reached Shanghai in the early 1990s, the city has developed at a pace that has astounded observers and broken all historical precedent. Yet on December 3, 2002, an event occurred that accelerated developments to a new pitch of feverish activity: Shanghai won its bid to host the 2010 World Expo, at the 132nd general assembly of the Bureau of International Exhibitions (BIE), held in Monte Carlo, Monaco. The future shifted,and the city went wild.

After introducing the wonderful people of China's largest region, Xinjiang, last year, I focused on the smallest one of the country's continent. How rich are the human resources and how great and moving were the stories the Ningxia people had to tell me! From the army veteran Du Licheng, who became engaged at 16 in the Liberation War, to the imam of Nanguan Mosque where, on July 1, 1997, several Hongkong Mus- lims came to celebrate their return to the motherland; from the famous writer Zhang Xianliang, who set up a "Chinese Hollywood," to the four Hui or Han university students who, even though very young, have already performed kind and memorable acts; from Bai Chunlan, an illiterate peasant who, in 28 years, planted 100,000 trees by herself, to Wang Youde who, since 1985
