The monumental full length reportage Ballet of Commerce: The Epic of Guangdong's Foreign Trade by famous writer He Jianming is set to make its debut at the Southern China Book Fair from August 27 to 31 in Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong Province.
Published by the Guangdong Education Publishing House, the book is the first of its kind to offer a panoramic account of Guangdong's millennium of trade and will be presented as a special offering for 2026's APEC "China Year," Xu Xiaofeng, an editor with the publishing house, told the Global Times on Monday.
China will host the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Shenzhen, Guangdong in November. It will be China's third time hosting the event, following Shanghai in 2001 and Beijing in 2014.
He, a former vice chairman of the China Writers Association and recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for Chinese Reportage Literature in 2023, told the Global Times on Monday that as the world watches the evolving trade relationship between China and the US, there is a growing need for a book that can help Western readers gain a deeper understanding of China's trading culture and how Chinese people have conducted business throughout history.
Guangdong marks the starting point of China's thousand-year maritime trade with the world. Through its foreign trade trajectory, the book reflects China's broader trade evolution, the enduring values of the Chinese spirit in the modern era, and the distinctive civilizational traits that have shaped China's rise, He noted.
Guangdong is both the birthplace of the ancient Maritime Silk Road and a pioneer of China's reform and opening-up. As a vital artery of commercial exchange between China and the rest of the world, the Maritime Silk Road has witnessed the evolution and transformation of the Chinese economy over the centuries.
During the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties, silk was among the main goods transported along the route, earning it the name "Silk Road." During the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties, porcelain became a major export commodity, leading the route to be known as the "Porcelain Road." By the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, tea had emerged as a sought-after Chinese export in Europe, giving rise to yet another name - the "Tea Road," according to a report by the Counselor's Office of the Guangdong Provincial People's Government.
Mutual benefit
Guangdong, China's largest foreign trade province, accounts for about one-fifth of the country's total trade and imports. As a major manufacturing hub with deep and extensive industrial chains, it creates significant demand for production factors, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
In the first half of this year, Guangdong's foreign trade reached 5.49 trillion yuan ($810 billion), surpassing the 5-trillion-yuan mark for the first time in the same period on record. The figure represented a year-on-year increase of 20.8 percent and accounted for 21.6 percent of China's total foreign trade. The province contributed an additional 944.71 billion yuan in trade volume, accounting for 25.6 percent of the country's foreign trade growth, according to official statistics released in July.
Having interviewed over 100 enterprises and institutions, He said that the book revisits the enduring legacy of the Maritime Silk Road, highlighting the exchanges between China and the West and the fusion of diverse civilizations.
"At the heart of Chinese business culture is the belief that 'harmony is the most valuable.' Rooted in traditional Chinese culture, this philosophy emphasizes cooperation and mutual benefit. Rather than viewing strength as a means to overpower others, Chinese merchants have traditionally embraced the idea that prosperity should be shared. When one grows stronger, others can benefit and achieve success together. This aspect of Chinese commercial culture remains unfamiliar to many in the Western world," said the 70-year-old writer.
Wang Yuanlin, a professor at the School of Humanities Guangzhou University, told the Nanfang Plus (a Guangdong-based news platform) that mutually beneficial and fair foreign trade policies, together with Guangdong merchants' long-standing tradition of integrity and win-win cooperation, have been key factors behind the province's enduring success in foreign trade.
Elegant business
The author said that the choice of "ballet" in the book's title reflects the idea that Chinese business practices have developed into an art form - one characterized by balance and elegance.
"I want the Western world to understand that when the Industrial Revolution was just beginning and the Renaissance was sweeping across Europe, Chinese people had already mastered the art of commerce," He said.
Through conversations with entrepreneurs ranging from grassroots business founders to prominent corporate leaders such as Dong Mingzhu, chairperson of Gree Electric Appliances, He chronicles Guangdong's transformation from a millennia-old trading hub into a global industrial powerhouse.
"Just imagine: Employees at a private company can step into a space capsule after lunch and take a nap in their own private sleeping quarters. With a company like that, how could it not succeed?" he said.
From the exchange of handcrafted goods in the agricultural era to today's trade in high-tech products such as semiconductors and drones, Chinese people have developed a business culture centered on the principle that "harmony is most valuable" over thousands of years of commercial exchange.
This cultural tradition has become a key in driving the continued growth of trade in Guangdong and across China, He added.
。 지선 참패·쇄신 난항 끝 대표직 내려놔 부산시장 후보 사건도 재조명이준석 개혁신당 대표가 대표직에서 물러났다. 6·3 지방선거 참패 이후 당 쇄신을 둘러싼 내홍이 이어진 가운데 부산에서는 지난 지방선거 당시 시장 후보 공천을 둘러싸고 제기됐던 책임론도 다시 주목받고 있다. 이 대표는 26일 국회에서 기자회견을 열고 당 대표직 사퇴를 선언했다. 지방선거 이후 당의 자강과 쇄신을 위한 고민과 제안을 이어왔지만 당내에서 충분한 호응을 얻지 못했다는 취지로 사퇴 배경을 설명했다. ▲개혁신당 대표인 이준석 의원이 26일 국회 소통관에서 열린 기자회견에서 대표직 사퇴를 발표한 뒤 고개숙여 인사하고 있다. ⓒ연합뉴스 개혁신당은 지난 지방선거에서 전국적으로 기초의원 1석을 확보하는 데 그쳤다. 부산시장 선거에서도 정이한 후보가 1.56%를 얻어 3위에 머물렀다. 선거 이후에는 후보 검증 문제가 불거졌다. 정 전 후보가 선거운동 과정에서 지인과 공모해 자신이 습격당한 것처럼 꾸민 혐의로 구속 기소되면서 개혁신당의 공천 책임도 도마에 올랐다. 이 대표는 지방선거 당시 정 후보 지원에 직접 나섰다. 지난 3월 부산을 찾아 지지를 호소했고, 피습 사건 직후에도 부산에서 함께 선거운동을 벌이며 힘을 실었다. 그러나 선거 이후 사건의 실체가 드러나자 이 대표는 부산시민에게 공개 사과했다. 당시 그는 개혁신당이 공천한 후보인 만큼 '무한한 책임'을 느낀다는 취지로 밝히며 당 차원의 진상조사와 책임 규명 방침을 내놨다. 한편 정이한 전 부산시장 후보는 현재 구속 기소돼 재판을 앞두고 있다. 26일 공개된 검찰 공소장에는 음료 종류와 차량 동선, 복장과 현장에서 사용할 말까지 공범과 사전에 논의했다는 검찰의 판단이 담긴 것으로 전해졌다. 이 대표는 이날 사퇴 회견에서 부산시장 후보 사건을 직접 언급하지 않았다. 이번 사퇴의 직접적인 배경으로 해당 사건을 단정할 수 없는 이유다. 다만 이 대표가 후보 지원에 적극 나섰고 사건 이후 스스로 공천에 대한 책임을 인정했던 만큼 대표직 사퇴를 계기로 부산에서 불거졌던 후보 검증과 공천 책임 문제가 다시 수면 위로 떠오를 지는 미지수다.。
