In the train compartment heading south, David Harvey was sitting by the window and enjoying the scenery along the railway. The wind blowing from his face blew away the heat all over his body.

After participating in academic activities and speeches in Beijing, in the past week, he visited several universities such as Nankai, Shandong University, and Fudan from north to south, and during this period he worked tirelessly to inspect the economic and social environment along the way.

In addition to academic exchanges and lectures, this time he came to China, his inspection was also an important purpose.

As the only two socialist powers in the world, both the Soviet Union and China are in a period of fierce change. Although they are just absurd and easy to see these days, they are vaguely aware that China's reform seems to have entered a bottleneck period.

He has never been to the Soviet Union, but judging from the information obtained from different channels, the Soviet Union's reforms seemed to be more radical, while China's reforms were relatively cautious and moderate.

At this time, the train passed a bridge, and there was a relatively shallow river under the bridge. Because this summer was dry, clusters of pebbles were exposed in the middle of the riverbed.

Looking at the pebbles, Harvey suddenly remembered the saying "Crossing the river by feeling the stones".

Since the Peking University speech, he and Fu Song have been debating. The content of the debate is about the view that "China has no particularity" he put forward during his speech.

Fu Song did not agree with his view, believing that China's reform is a pioneering great undertaking with no historical experience for reference, and is "crossing the river by feeling the stones"...

Harvey felt the words crossing the river by feeling the stones, and Harvey thought that this sentence was very interesting. It was easy to understand and full of philosophy, but it did not prevent him from still sticking to his point of view.

Whether it is China's reform or opening up, it is a metaphysics, but the theory of "Das Kapital" he used is a metaphysics that is universal.

In his opinion, as long as China does not transcend the stage of capitalism development, no matter how reform or opening up, it cannot break the shackles and laws of capitalist operation, and it cannot escape economic crisis, financial crisis, exploitation and exploitation, capital greed and ugliness of human nature, urban problems, environmental problems and other issues...

"Mr. Havey, what are you thinking?"

Harvey came to his senses and looked up and smiled, "Oh, Glenn, are you awake? I was thinking about how to convince you next time, haha."

Fu Song couldn't help but smile bitterly, sat down opposite him, and said, "Mr. Have, I will never be your opponent in this field of debate."

Looking back on the debate along the way, every time it ended in his speechlessness. Fu Song couldn't accept it now.

Harvey shook his head and said, "Glenn, I know you are not convinced, thinking you are just losing in the skills of debate, but in fact, you have chosen the wrong viewpoint and path. No matter how skillful you are in the debate, the final result is destined."

Fu Song was silent. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had actually accepted Harvey's argument deep down.

If he hadn't been a human being for two lifetimes, he asked himself, maybe he had the courage to keep going, but now he had to admit that Harvey was right.

"Glenn, the question of particularity is relative. Before I came to China, I had no subjective understanding of China's development. But these days' investigations have made me have a special expectation for China's development. The development of some things in China often exceeds vision and people's expectations. I am looking forward to the last stop of my trip to China."

Fu Song couldn't help but remember that when he was in Beijing, Harvey asked himself several places that were most worthy of his visit. The first one he recommended was Shenzhen and the second one was Shanghai.

"Mr. Have, Shenzhen will not disappoint you. I think Shenzhen is the forefront of China."

Harvey smiled and said, "The forefront of China? Perhaps, it may be the forefront of capitalism."

Fu Song: "….”

Seeing his defeated appearance, Harvey burst into laughter, "Okay, Glenn, I just expressed my doubts, not having prejudice against China. I think you may have misunderstood what I mean, and what I really want to say is that China may be the future of capitalist development."

Fu Song thought about it carefully and asked: "I don't understand very much."

Harvey said without comment: "Through these days of academic exchanges, I found that Chinese scholars think more about the particularity of history, and I may pay more attention to the particularity of the theoretical level. China's specialty is not what has been done, this is the so-called speciality that I have always denied, but what is going to do, and this is the future I just expected."

Speaking of this, Harvey clenched his fists and said in a stressful tone: "Future, I am very much looking forward to China's future because I have a feeling that China may become the savior of the capitalist world."

Is China the savior of the capitalist world?

Fu Song looked like a dog-like expression. The first feeling was extremely absurd, but then he fell into deep thought.

In the future, China will be the world's largest industrial country and the world's factory, providing the world with a complete range of industrial products of good quality and low price. The Chinese are like old oxes, eating the forage given by the Americans, and most of the milk produced is on the Americans' dining table.

The world's factory may not explain much, but in the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, China did appear as a savior...

Fu Song remembers that there is a view that indeed believed that the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 was China saving the capitalist world, and there were even many hindsights. They discussed online that if China did not flood the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, but chose to take advantage of the situation, would the United States not be able to recover?

...

Fu Song suddenly realized a problem and asked curiously: "Why is it the savior rather than the gravedigger?"

Harvey smiled mysteriously: "That's what I said, China has no particularity."

Fu Song's mouth twitched, wouldn't it be enough to just say that it was a bird of a feather?

"Hello everyone, my friend, the ** train will arrive at Shenzhen Station soon..."

"Harvey, we're going to Shenzhen soon. Let's go and prepare." Hearing the train's radio, Fu Song immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stood up quickly and said.

The topic just now made him feel heavy, and Harvey's words were still extremely sharp, disguising the lies wrapped in the truth, piercing and shattering them, allowing the truth to be presented nakedly in front of him.

Fu Song suddenly felt a little confused. Some of the things he had insisted on over the years seemed to gradually collapse and collapse in just half a month.

He has always warned himself to be a good person. Ahem, he is a complete hypocrite in this life, so he can only settle for the second best, be a person who will not lose money in his fortune and be a good capitalist.
