cREATIVE genius knows no land or race, recognizes no school or caste, but finds expression wherever situated. One hundred miles up the Yangtse River from the city of Shanghai, creative genius embodied In China’s greatest industrial leader and capitalist, Chang Chien, is building a milestone in the industrial future of the nation in the model city of Nantungchow. Isolated from cities affected by foreign influence, untouched by railways and comparatively inaccesible adong the beaten paths of commerce, Nantungchow stands as a monument to the executive ability, vision, and power of organization of this man and his associates, who include his son, Chang Chien, Jr., and his brother, Chang Cha. cREATIVE 天才不分土地或种族，不分流派或种姓，而是在任何地方都能找到表达方式。从上海市沿长江而上 100 英里，中国最伟大的工业领袖和资本家张谦正在模范城市南东州建造国家工业未来的里程碑。南东州与受外国影响的城市隔绝，不受铁路影响，相对而言不被人迹罕至的商业道路所取代，是这个人和他的同事（包括他的儿子 Chang Chien， Jr. 和他的兄弟 Chang Cha）的执行能力、远见和组织能力的纪念碑。

No contact with Western lands has brought about the experience and foresight with which His Excellency Chang Chien’ is gifted, no Western technical school has the honor of claiming him as an alumnus, rather the opposite. Until more than forty years of age Chang Chien was one of the leaders of the old schools of China and a noted Hanlin scholar. With such a foundation of ancient learning, whose traditions counseled seclusion and mental pursuits rather than industrial expansion, it is difficult to reconcile the first forty years of the life of Chang Chien with the past twenty-nine. 没有与西方土地的接触带来了张建阁下所具有的经验和远见，没有一所西方技术学校有幸称他为校友，恰恰相反。直到四十多岁，张谦一直是中国老派的领袖之一，也是一位著名的翰林学者。在这样一个古老的学问基础上，其传统是隐居和精神追求，而不是工业扩张，因此很难将张剑生命的前四十年与过去的二十九年相调和。
Twenty-four years ago Chang Chien dreamed of an industrial city rising just outside of the walls of the ancient town of Nantungchow, his birthplace, which would be not only an industrial center but a place of benevolent happiness and a mecca of education. With a zeal, unprecedented in the history of modern China, he began his task, the immediate impetus being a commission to organize a spinning and weaving mill of $1,000,000\$ 1,000,000 capitalization. The work of organization and construction was successfully accomplished, to be followed by the Fuhsin Flour Mill, the Kwangsheng Oil Mill, the Tse-sheng Iron Works, the Fousheng Silk Filature and the Da Dah Steam Navigation Company. 24 年前，张谦梦想在他的出生地南东州古镇的城墙外崛起一座工业城市，它不仅是一个工业中心，而且是一个仁慈幸福的地方和教育圣地。他以现代中国历史上前所未有的热情开始了他的任务，直接的动力是组织一个资本化的 $1,000,000\$ 1,000,000 纺纱和织布厂的委托。组织和建设工作成功完成，随后是福新面粉厂、光胜油厂、谢胜铁厂、寿生丝绸厂和大大蒸汽航行公司。

With these enterprises as a nucleus, Chang Chien began the construction of his dream city, the model town of Nantungchow. Appreciating the value of contentment among his workers, his first work was that of the laying out of a public park for the center of his city with attractive artificial lagoons. This having been completed, he next turned his attention to the building of a modern theater with a seating capacity of 1,200 . Being one of the greatest modern day students and patrons of the Chinese drama, he gathered about him many of the most famous actors of the nation and with the amusement of his people cared for, he began the development work 以这些企业为核心，张健开始了他梦想之城的建设，即南东州模范小镇。他认识到工人知足的价值，他的第一项工作是为他的城市中心布置一个公园，并带有迷人的人工泻湖。这项工作完成后，他接下来将注意力转向建造一个可容纳 1,200 人的现代剧院。作为现代最伟大的学生和中国戏剧的赞助人之一，他聚集了许多全国最著名的演员，在他的人民的照顾下，他开始了开发工作

Projected are a caustic sóda plant and a paper mill. Added to these are the Da Dah Steamship Company, operating a river line from Shanghai to Nantungchow, and the Chino-Belgian Steamship Company, which will soon inaugurate a service from Shanghai to various ports in Europe, Great Britain and America. 该市的其他行业包括丝绸丝线、铸铁厂、电灯和发电厂（第二个正在建设中 $1,000,000\$ 1,000,000 ）、一个新组织的发网和花边生产车间、肥皂厂和火柴厂。预计是一个苛性碱厂和一个造纸厂。此外，还有大大轮船公司（Da Dah Steamship Company）和中国-比利时轮船公司（Chino-Belgian Steamship Company），该公司经营着一条从上海到南东州的内河航线，该公司很快将开通从上海到欧洲、英国和美国各个港口的服务。
Chang Chien through Nantungchow has become a pioneer in the construction of good roads. The city and district now has more than fifty miles of motor roads, most of which are rock surfaced or paved, and a planned expansion of more than 700 li . The country is made accesible by ten modern motor buses, the city proper being four miles from the river landings, which operate along regular routes according to schedule. This line is to be increased by the additional of several more specially built cars within a short time. In addition to this the district has approximately thirty private motor cars, all of the most modern American makes. The road building has been a cooperative offort, the farmers furnishing both the land and the labor where the routes have traversed the country districts. 昌建经南东州，成为修建良好道路的先驱。市区现拥有五十多英里的公路，其中大部分是岩石路面或铺砌的，并计划扩建 700 多里。十辆现代公共汽车可以到达这个国家，城市本身距离河流码头 4 英里，这些码头按时间表定期运行。这条生产线将在短时间内增加几辆更特别制造的汽车。除此之外，该地区还有大约 30 辆私家车，都是最现代的美国制造。道路建设一直是堡垒的合作社，农民在路线穿越乡村地区的地方提供土地和劳动力。

Chang Chien, Jr. 张谦
There’s a building boom in Nantung. The Nantung Club has recently been finished and provides all of the comforts and attractions of a Western institution of its kind. It is being added to now in order to provide housing facilities for the entertainment of visitors to the city of Nantung. A new modern hotel and a $160,000\$ 160,000 executive building for the Nantung Chamber of Commerce are nearing completion. The building for the College of Agriculture with modern laboratories and other facilities will be finished by fall as will the new flour mill, the new cotton mill, the power station, the many new shops and the new building for a textile school. 南东（Nantung）的建筑热潮。Nantung 俱乐部最近完工，提供西方同类机构的所有舒适和吸引力。现在添加它是为了为南东市的游客提供娱乐设施。一家新的现代酒店和一座 $160,000\$ 160,000 南东商会的行政大楼即将完工。拥有现代化实验室和其他设施的农业学院大楼将于秋季完工，新的面粉厂、新的棉纺厂、发电站、许多新商店和纺织学校的新大楼也将完工。
The district has become self-governing and under the guidance of Chang Chien. Jr., who is the speaker, a district assembly has been instituted and a building for its housing is under way. 该区在 Chang Chien 的指导下自治。议长 Jr. 已经成立了一个区议会，其住房建设正在进行中。
Chang Chien, in addition to building his city, is also bringing up industrial leaders to carry on after his own work and that of his brother, Chang Cha, is finished. The most prominent of these is Chang Chien, Junior, who now takes a majority of the executive responsibility off the shoulders of his 张建除了建设自己的城市外，还培养了工业领袖，在他自己和他的兄弟张茶的工作完成后继续工作。其中最突出的是 Chang Chien， Junior，他现在承担了大部分行政责任
father and who is looked upon by the people as an able successor to him. Chang Chien, Junior, is a graduate of a commercial school in the United States. Surrounding him, Chang Chien has a number of younger Chinese supervising the educational and industrial work, all of whom are fired with the same ideals the same ambitions and the same qualifications for putting them into effect. 父亲，被人们视为他的有能力继承人。大三学生 Chang Chien 毕业于美国一所商学院。在张谦的周围，有许多年轻的中国人负责监督教育和工业工作，他们都带着同样的理想、同样的抱负和同样的资格被解雇。
An increased amount of cooperation is being introduced in the community and the workers are being urged to put their money into the industries of the district. A movement is now on foot for the raising of bonds among the people of the district for the financing of various projects. The dwellers in ;the Nantung district are proud of their city, its leader and its accomplishments. Their pride has made it China’s cleanest city. The Chang family holds infinite power over the district, containing 1,500,000 people and 7,435 square li of land, but exercise it in a most benevolent and patriotic manner. 社区正在引入更多的合作，并敦促工人将他们的钱投入到该地区的工业中。现在正在该地区人民中筹集债券，为各种项目筹集资金。居民在 ;南东区为他们的城市、领导者和成就感到自豪。他们的自豪感使它成为中国最干净的城市。张氏家族对这个拥有 1,500,000 人和 7,435 平方里土地的地区拥有无限的权力，但以最仁慈和爱国的方式行使权力。
But now that Nantung is well under way, the compelling creative desire in Chang Chien is turning his efforts in other directions. A modern bank and office building in Shanghai to house his industrial offices has been recently built. An embroidery and lace store, known as the Nantoon Shop, on Fifth Avenue, New York. acquaints the Americans with the model city of China and at the same time keeps the city out here informed on the latest industrial developments. Conservation work along the Yangtze Coast extending from the Nantung district north along the Pacific shore which will reclaim millions of mow of land for cotton growing is also another Chang Chien project. 但现在 Nantung 已经顺利进行，张谦引人注目的创作欲望正在将他的努力转向其他方向。最近在上海建造了一座现代化的银行和办公楼，用于容纳他的工业办公室。一家刺绣和蕾丝店，被称为 Nantoon Shop，位于纽约第五大道。让美国人熟悉中国的模范城市，同时让这座城市了解最新的工业发展。长江沿岸的保护工作从南东区沿太平洋沿岸向北延伸，将开垦数百万亩的棉花种植土地，这也是昌建的另一个项目。
The longing of the city builder for expression in a greater way has been responsible for his acceptance of the direction of the new project for the construction of an international port city under Chinese guidance at Woosung, a distance of twelve miles from Shanghai. Here will be constructed a more magnificient city-Nantung having served to give experience-one that with Shanghai will become one of the best known ports of the world. With his inherent ability and providing that his physical condition will permit, there is no question of the success of Chang Chien in this undertaking. 城市建设者对以更广阔的方式表达的渴望，使他接受了在距离上海 12 英里的 Woosung 建设一个由中国指导的国际港口城市的新项目的方向。这里将建造一座更宏伟的城市 - 南东，它为人提供了经验 - 上海将成为世界上最著名的港口之一。凭借他与生俱来的能力，只要他的身体状况允许，张剑在这项事业上的成功是毫无疑问的。
Chang Chien, with the assistance of his associates, is handing down to the younger generation of Chinese an example which if followed will bring the country to the forefront as one of the greatest industrial nations of the world. It should be made compulsory for every young man of China to spend a time in the elty of Nantungchow imbibing its spirit and studying its inner workings, in order that future city and nation builders may be trained, Nantungchow is a delightful revelation to the foreign visitor and its hospitality reminds one of the traditional courtesy of the Southern section of the United States 张谦在他的同事的协助下，正在向年轻一代的中国人传授一个榜样，如果效仿，将使中国成为世界上最伟大的工业国家之一。每个中国年轻人都应该在南东州的老地方花一段时间，吸收它的精神，研究它的内部运作，以便培训未来的城市和国家建设者，南东州对外国游客来说是一个令人愉快的启示，它的热情好客让人想起美国南部的传统礼貌之一
But after all the most impressive feature of Nantungchow, with its multitudinous activities and its alert, progressive spirit, is that it was borfi in the mind of one of China’s greatest scholar, Chang Chien. 但毕竟，南东州最令人印象深刻的特点，包括其众多的活动和警觉、进步的精神，是中国最伟大的学者之一张谦心目中的博尔菲。
