感谢折磨你的人
Thank your tormentors
有本书叫住《感谢折磨你的人》。
There's a book called "Thank Your Tormentors."
书中收录了上百个倍受命运折磨，而在折磨中坚强，在折磨中奋争，在折磨中成为非凡之人的事例。是的，古往今来，能成大器者，恐怕还无一人能逃脱命运“折磨”这个铁定的规律——韩信受胯下之辱，而统百万雄兵；司马受腐刑之灾，而著不朽之《史记》，就说明了这个道理。
The book contains hundreds of examples of people who have suffered a lot from their fate, but have been strong in their suffering, struggled in their suffering, and become extraordinary from their suffering. Well, through the ages, I'm afraid that no one whoever can achieve great success can escape the "torture" of the fate - Han Xin crawled between other’s legs, and ruled millions of soldiers later; Sima suffered from the ventroeral punishment, and wrote the immortal "Historical Records" finally, which shows this truth.
这是一个有冷风和落叶的秋夜。
It was an autumn night with cold wind and fallen leaves.
其实，在好长时间以来，周兴和已经忘掉了白天和夜晚，忘掉了春天或秋天，真有点像鲁迅先生《自嘲》诗中那“躲进小楼成一统，管他冬夏与春秋”的境地了。
In fact, for a long time, Zhou Xinghe had forgotten the days and nights, the spring and autumn, which was a little bit like the situation in Lu Xun's poem "Self-mockery" in which he "hid himself in a small building and sticked to own purpose firmly, no matter it’s spring, summer, autumn or winter outside".
春天的耕耘，必将带来秋天的收获。冥冥之中，当周兴和走过无数个这样的白天和夜晚后，他研究发明的新型建材，已经隐隐约约见到一缕曙光了。
The ploughing in spring will bring the harvest in autumn. When Zhou Xinghe walked through countless such days and nights, the invention of new building materials he studied, had a ray of dawn.
“为山者基于一篑之土，以成千丈之峭；凿井者起于三寸之坎，以就万仞之深。”古人的这句名言，道出了事物发展的必然规律。著名数学家陈景润，在极其艰难困苦的境况下，仅仅就靠着一支笔，以24麻袋的演算草稿，攻克了整个世界都认为难以逾越的哥德巴赫猜想，摘取了数学王冠上那颗光彩夺目的宝石。周兴和几年来夜以继日披星戴月地的发明试验，他在事物的规律中寻求变化，在变化中寻求事物的规律，终于慢慢见到了成效。一天夜里，当周兴和再一次对试验的产品进行检验时，让他惊喜的是：经过上千次配方反复试验，以秸秆等农作物为原料，用以替代石膏等房屋装饰的新型材料，令人难以置信的是，在反卤、结露、变形和裂纹四大技术难题上，一个个都逐渐被周兴和攻克，取得了突破性的进展！
"For the mountains, thousands of feet high cliff is founded from the ground; digging wells starts from three inches to ten thoudand meters deep." This famous saying of the ancients, shows the inevitable law of the development of things. Chen Jingrun, a famous mathematician, in a very difficult situation, just relying on a pen, completed 24 sacks of calculation draft, conquered the Goldbach Conjecture that the whole world thought impossible to overcome, and picked the jewel on the crown of mathematics. Zhou Xinghe had been experimenting with his inventions day and night for several years, seeking the change in the law of things, and seeking the law of things in the change, and finally saw results slowly. One night, Zhou Xinghe began again to inspect the product test result, to his surprise: after thousands of repeated experiments of formula, the new materials with straw crops as raw materials to replace the gypsum decoration, incredibly conquered the four major technical problems in the anti-halogen, condensation, deformation and crack, which were all overcome by Zhou Xinghe gradually and had the breakthrough.
刚开始，对产品检验的结果，连周兴和自己也不敢确认。
In the beginning, even Zhou Xinghe dared not confirm the results of the product inspection.
紧接着，为进一步验证实验的结果，周兴和按照新的配方又反复进行了多次试验，事实证明，新型材料的基本问题确实已经得到解决，余下的技术瑕疵，只是进一步完善的事了。
Then, in order to further verify the results of the experiment, Zhou Xinghe conducted the repeated tests in accordance with the new formula for many times. It had been proved that the basic problems of the new material had indeed been solved, and the remaining technical defects were only the matter of further improvement.
面对检验的结果，周兴和没有欢呼雀跃，更没有欣喜若狂，他拿着检验结果记录单，只是激动得手在微微颤抖，然后他一头倒在长条椅上，长长吐了口气，想美美睡它三天三夜——然而，他哪里睡得着啊，他知道即使完成所有的试验，取得所有试验数据，这只是在漫漫的征途中走完了一段里程，后面等待着他的，还有完善数据、材料准备、专利申请、权威确认、政府批准、市场推广、实践检验、价值评价……有很长很长的路要走。
In the face of the results of the inspection, Zhou Xinghe did not cheer up, nor got mad with joy, he took the record sheet of inspection result, and was just excited to get his hand shaking slightly, then he fell on the long chair, sighed for a long time, and wanted to sleep for three days and nights; however, how could he fall asleep, he knew that even he completed all the tests, and acquired all test data, it was only a mileage in the long journey, what waiting for him was the data improvement, material preparation, patent application, authority confirmation, government approval, market promotion, practice test, value evaluation... There's a long, long way to go.
为保护自己的发明成果，周兴和及时准备材料，向国家专利局申报了以秸秆为原材料的豪华式浮雕灯盘、形象逼真的艺术人体，以及罗马圆柱、方柱、滚龙抱柱等发明专利。由于他发明的产品独辟蹊径、别具一格，受到国家专利局专家们的一致好评。1994年底，他的发明专利获得了专利证书，并在中国专利技术博览会上获得了金奖；紧接着，1995年春，他发明专利又获得了绵阳市科技进步二等奖！
In order to protect his invention, Zhou Xinghe prepared materials in time and applied to the State Patent Office for the invention patent of luxurious relief lamp plate, realistic artistic human body, Roman column, square column, rolling dragon holding column and other products with straw as raw material. Because he invented product was unique, the experts of State Patent Office unanimously praised. At the end of 1994, he obtained the patent certificate for his invention and won a Gold Medal in the China Patent and Technology Expo. Then, in the spring of 1995, his invention patent won the Second Prize of Mianyang Scientific and Technological Progress!
此时，周兴和与国家级专家涂平涛合作，写出并公开发表了《氯氧镁胶凝材料制品本质≠返卤、泛霜、变形》的论文。文章透彻有力地论证了氯镁胶凝材料制品的优势、本质、性能、工艺、试验、测定、在各种情况下的变化，以及达到的物理力学效果等，在国内外引起轰动。
At this time, Zhou Xinghe, in cooperation with national expert Tu Pingtao, wrote and publicly published the paper "Essence of Products of Magnesium Oxychloride Cementitious Material ≠ Halogen, Frost and Deformation". This paper thoroughly and powerfully demonstrates the advantages, nature, properties, process, test, determination, and changes in various situations, and physical and mechanical effects of magnesium chloride cementitious material products, which has caused a sensation at home and abroad.
论文写道：“我国有丰富的氯镁材料资源，其中已探明的菱镁矿储藏量近30亿吨，氯化镁遍及沿海各盐矿，加上氯氧镁材料是一种气硬性胶凝材料，生产产品能耗小、产品具有节能、代木、节土、节水、生产成本低等特点与功能，在建材工业有极高的开发和使用价值。几十年来，在国内氯氧镁制品的开发与生产起起伏伏，从未停息。‘六五’期间，国家已为此耗资数千万元进行开发利用。而今，经过周兴和上千次的试验和测试，为氯氧镁制品的开发利用奠定了理论和实践基础……”
The paper says: "Our country has rich resources of magnesium chloride materials, including its proven magnesite reserves of nearly 3 billion tons, and magnesium chloride all over the coastal salt mines; in addition, the magnesium oxychloride material is a kind of gas rigid gelled material, with the characteristics and functions of small energy consumption in the production, energy saving, instead of wood, soil saving, water saving, and low production cost, which has a high development and use value in the building materials industry. For decades, the development and production of magnesium oxychloride products in China has been ups and downs, but never stopped. During the 6th Five-year-plan period, the State has spent tens of millions of yuan on the development and utilization. Now, after Zhou Xinghe’s thousands of experiments and tests, it has laid the theoretical and practical basis for the development of magnesium oxychloride products..."
感谢贫穷，贫穷让人穷则思变；感谢苦难，苦难让人意志弥坚；感谢人们的冷嘲热讽，它让人羞于回头，只能勇往直前。
Thank for poverty, which makes people think of change; Thank for suffering, which makes people strong in mind; Thank for other people's cynicism, which embarrasses us to look back, but only to move forward.
就在这时，周兴和再一次面临一个重大选择。
Just then, Zhou Xinghe faced a big choice again.
“周总，你和你企业的情况，我们已多次向政府作了汇报，我们是代表全体村民，第3次正式邀请你到我们那里去考察、发展。”说这话的，是成都市金牛区营门口乡黄忠村党支部书记兼村长张先全。
"Mr. Zhou, we have reported to the government for many times about the situation of you and your enterprise. On behalf of all the villagers, we have formally invited you to visit us for the third time." It was Zhang Xianquan, the party branch secretary and village head of Huangzhong Village, Yingmenkou Township, Jinniu District, Chengdu.
这几年，尽管周兴和在困境中苦苦挣扎，但他以秸秆做建材并取得发明专利，以及他颇带几分传奇色彩艰苦创业的故事，已逐渐在社会上流传开来。说者无心，听者有意，这引起了张先全的高度关注。自1993年起，张先全就多次到盐亭和绵阳邀请周兴和到成都考察、发展。
In recent years, although Zhou Xinghe struggled in the plight, his invention with straw as building materials and obtained the invention patent, as well as his somewhat legendary story of hard entrepreneurship, had gradually spread in the society. The speaker was not intentional but the listener was intentional, which had attracted the attention of Zhang Xianquan. Since 1993, Zhang has visited Yanting and Mianyang several times to invite Zhou Xinghe to Chengdu for investigation and development.
“张书记，你的好意我理解。”周兴和对张先全说，“一个企业要搬迁，不是一蹴而就的事呀！除了政策、环境，还有厂址、设备、人员、原材料来源、销售渠道等方方面面的问题，我都要考虑周全哪！”
"Secretary Zhang, I thank your kindness." Zhou Xinghe said to Zhang Xianquan, "It is not an overnight thing for an enterprise to move! In addition to the policy and environment, the site, equipment, personnel, raw material sources, sales channels, and other aspects of the problem should be all considered!"
“尽管你们企业现在经济状况还不理想，但我们是看好的是你们将来的发展前景。”张先全说，“我们保证给你提供最优越的投资环境，最优惠的政策条件。”
"We are optimistic about your future prospects, even though the current economic situation of your enterprise is not ideal." Zhang Xianquan said, "We guarantee to provide you with the most favorable investment environment, and the most favorable policy."
“这件事，我们还是从长计议吧。”
"Let's take a long view in this matter."
1994年10月12日下午，随着江泽民总书记一行来四川，到了金牛区黄忠村视察，并与张先全亲切握手、仔细交谈的情形，让周兴和对当地的投资环境产生了极大兴趣，并促使他下决心到成都投资建厂。1995年初，在张先全等领导大力支持下，周兴和毅然放弃了已在绵阳投资的几十万资产，与妻子小申一起，靠仅有的几纸专利证书和获奖证书，将企业搬迁到了在成都金牛区黄忠村，在这里又开始重新创业。
In the afternoon of October 12, 1994, General Secretary Jiang Zemin came to Sichuan and inspected Huangzhong Village, Jinniu District. They shook hands cordially and talked with Zhang Xianquan carefully, which aroused Zhou Xinghe's great interest in the local investment environment and urged him to make up his mind to invest and build a factory in Chengdu. At the beginning of 1995, with the strong support of Zhang Xianquan and other leaders, Zhou Xinghe resolutely gave up the hundreds of thousands of assets that he had invested in Mianyang. With his wife Shen, they moved the enterprise to Huangzhong Village, Jinniu District, Chengdu, where they started their own business again with only a few papers of patent certificates and award certificates.
这是1995年初春。
This was the early spring of 1995.
黄忠村在成都市郊，周兴和建厂的地方，当时还是一片农田。当然随着城市的扩张，现在已位于繁华的二环线边上了。尽管当地干部虔诚地邀请周兴和来到这里，但林子大了，什么鸟都有——手中握着一点小权故意刁难的、腐败分子趁机索贿要钱的、当地村民借机漫天要价的、黑社会的地痞流氓敲诈勒索的、自己公司内部眼红嫉妒想分杯羹的……这些人把周兴和当成了一块送到嘴边的肥肉，谁都想到他这里来啃一口。
On the outskirts of Chengdu, where Zhou Xinghe set up his factory, Huangzhong Village was still a farm field. Of course, with the expansion of the city, it is now located on the side of the bustling Second Ring Road. In spite of the local officials' pious invitation to Zhou Xinghe to come here, the condition was complicated, just as there would be all kinds of birds in the large woods - such as the ones with a little power in their hands and purposely making difficulties, the corrupt ones taking the opportunity to demand bribes and money, the local villagers taking the opportunity to charge exorbitant prices, the gangsters of the gangdom racketeering, and the ones inside their own companies and jealous to share the profits... These people took Zhou Xinghe as a piece of fat meat to their lips, and everyone wanted to have a bite of him.
“现在想起当时的情形，既使人感到愤怒，也使人感到辛酸。当时为维护自己一点基本的生存权利，与当地的腐败分子斗，与流氓地痞斗，与自己公司内部的小人斗……”事隔多年，周兴和回忆起当时的情况，禁不住感慨万千，连眼睛也有些潮湿，“当时就是与人打架都不知打了多少回，我儿子、女儿也被人打得头破血流。我那时上班，在办公室都放着木棍、石灰等自卫武器，随时准备应付突如其来的袭击——这一切，还要感谢黄忠村的领导对我们的支持和帮助，不然我们早就在内外交困中被人黑吃了。”
"The remembrance of what was then is poignant and angry. At that time, in order to maintain a little basic right to survive, we fought with the local corrupt officials, with the local ruffians, and with the snobs inside my company..." Many years later, when Zhou Xinghe recalled the situation, he could not help being filled with emotions, and even his eyes were a little wet. "At that time, I don't know how many times I had fought with others, and even my son and daughter were beaten with their heads broken and bleeding. At that time, I went to work and kept the self-defense weapons such as sticks and lime in my office, ready to deal with unexpected attacks at any time. Above all, I would also like to thank the leaders of Huangzhong Village for their support and help, otherwise we would have been eaten by others in the internal and external traps."
“周总他们在这个地方建厂的时候，实在是太难了。”公司驾驶员夏勇告诉笔者，“当地黑社会的地痞流氓，是多次上门来威胁滋事，强行要收‘保护费’，刚开始周总还给点钱打发他们，可后来这些人胃口越来越大，来的次数越来越多，不给他们钱竟然还邀约人进厂来打砸抢。最后周总愤怒了，忍无可忍，他把工人们组织起来护厂。可这些人不知好歹，豪强逞凶、估吃霸赊，周总舍命组织工人们护厂，几次把这些人打得屁滚尿流。在当地领导的过问下，后来情况才好了一些……”
"When Mr. Zhou and his team set up the factory in this place, it was really difficult." The company driver Xia Yong told the author, "The local gangsters had come to make threat or trouble for many times, forced to collect the 'protection money'. At the beginning, Mr. Zhou would give some money to ask them to leave, but later, these people’s appetite got bigger and bigger, and came more and more frequently; if we did not give them money, they even asked more people to beat, smash and rob in the factory. Finally, Mr. Zhou was so angry that he could not bear it any longer. He organized the workers to protect the factory. But these people did not know what was good or bad. They were despotic and violent, and expected to buy goods on credit. Mr. Zhou organized the workers to protect the factory, and beated them heavily for several times. With the help of local leaders, things got better later..."
