I　came　to　Wuhan　with　my　wife　in　May　of　1998　and　planned　to　live　here　for　three　years.　It　was　not　my　first　time　to　China，　I　had　led　some　French　reporters　to　the　Dongfeng-Citroen　Corporation　before，to　visit　the　modernized　workshop　and　to　make　them　know　more　about　Fukang　sedans.　Now，　I　am　the　deputy　director　of　manpower　resource　department，　cooperating　with　a　Chinese　director，　bringing　the　Sino-French　joint　venture　some　western　methods　and　thoughts　on　managing　manpower　resource.　The　methods　are　mainly　concerned　with　personnel　evaluation，　personnel　training，　personnel　classifying　and　so　on.　To　arouse　the　personnel's　enthusiasm　is　a　very　important　part　too，　it　related　to　every　individual，　which　is　understandable　in　all　the　countries　and　all　the　enterprises.　We　always　think　about　how　to　make　every　employee　devote　himself　to　the　work;　what　is　the　best　way　to　certificate　and　award　the　employees　for　their　ability;　what　kind　of　career　in　the　enterprise　is　up　to　the　employees　to　fully　realize　their　life　value.

    We　cooperate　familiarly，　looking　for　the　answers　to　the　questions　sparing　no　effort　and　studying　the　way　to　conciliate　Chinese　culture　and　western　technology.

    Referring　to　my　life　in　spare　time，　both　my　wife　and　I　are　likely　to　live　in　Wuhan.  We　are　well　arranged　here.　Although　people　here　are　quite　curious　about　us　foreigners，　they　are　usually　smiling，　friendly　and　willing　to　help　us.　And　we　can　also　see　that，　the　municipal　governmem　nas　got　a　great　progress　on　putting　the　transportation　in　order，　which　can　even　match　those　in　metropolises　abroad.  The　living　facilities　of　the　citizens　are　perfected　step　by　step:　more　and　more　new　living　districts　are　standing　up，　more　and　more　supermarkets　and　shopping　mails　are　opening.　and　the　hygiene　conditions　are　improving.  We　really　feel　the　atmosphere　of　the　city　developing　in　big　steps.　However，we　have　a　wish，　that　is　the　modernization　of　the　city　wouldn't　cut　down　Wuhan's　feature　ot　ils　own.　such　as　the　peddlers　in　busy　areas，　“ma-mu”(tri-cycles　to　serve    clients，　“biandan”(porters　in　the　street)　and　small　restaurants.　We　usually　go　to　these　places，　for　we　feel　close　to　the　local　citizens　there.　It　shall　be　a　great　pity    if　these　simple　but　inspired　sides，　which　are　on　the　decline　actually，　would　disappear　by　and　by.　Of　course，even　though　it　is　rather　difficult　to　mediate　the　modernization　and　tradition，　I　am　sure　the　government　will　try　the　best　to　keep　the　city's　humanistic　culture　of　it's　oen-for　it　is　the　place　the　city's　spirit　lies，　it's　the　real　property　for　ever.

    On　the　50's　anniversary　of　the　People's　Republic　of　China，　I　sincerely　wish　people　in　Wuhan　enjoy　the　feast　as　well　as　the　welfare　lives.
