封面故事
We have to feel our way towards economic reform.
(經濟改革必須摸著石頭過河 – 鄧小平)

中國從1980年起改革開放，當時百廢待舉，缺乏經驗和人才，國家主席鄧小平挺身而出，中國改革開放，大家必須摸著石頭過河！

三十多年下來，中國大陸靠著摸索，Feel Its Way，已經是完全不同的氣象，下一步就是人文素質的提升。

鄧小平對大陸經濟的貢獻，可比當年的蔣經國，在台灣農業時代就知道台灣的未來是電子業，現在的領導人呢？台灣的未來在哪裡？薪資二十年不變，就知道這群人是什麼料！

註：摸著石頭過河是陳雲在1950年提出，1980年和鄧小平共同發表聲明，成了鄧小平的名言，同年，鄧小平公開指責毛澤東，必須對文化大革命對中國帶來的浩劫負責！
