【新唐人2011年10月8日讯】苹果公司创始人之一乔布斯(Steve Jobs)逝世的消息，让全世界都为之惋惜。在中国大陆，也掀起悼念乔布斯的热潮，人们在唏嘘这位创新英才离世之余，也在思考，在中国，为什么出不了乔布斯，“苹果”在中国的土壤为什么就不能成长？
无论你是否对他改变世界的奇迹耳熟能详，无论你是否知道他拥有的专利超过 300项，但那个被咬了一口的苹果，以及 Mac、 iPod、 iPhone、 iPad等让人疯狂的苹果产品，都足以让人记起大名鼎鼎的乔布斯。而他在周三逝世的消息，更是让全世界为之哀伤。
当晚，苹果公司修改网站首页，乔布斯的半身黑白头像占据页面主要位置，左侧“斯蒂夫•乔布斯”的英文黑体字下，标着“1955-2011”。遗像中的乔布斯依旧两眼炯炯有神，望着前方。
商标上那缺了一块的苹果，让人感叹，这次真的缺了一块。
而在地球的另一端——中国，乔布斯逝世的消息同样引起震撼。
在网民最活跃的新浪、滕讯和百度博客上，悼念这位科技江湖的“老大”的各种感言可以说是铺天盖地。
有网民在博客上展示了56个红苹果，以纪念乔布斯56年辉煌一生。
谷歌中前掌门人李开复6号早上在新浪微博上写道：“乔帮主一路走好，你的产品改变了世界，你的思想影响了一代人。”截止到晚上8点，李开复在网上一共发布了9条和乔布斯相关的博文。
10月6号当天，有9万多网友在微博上投票，对乔布斯去世的消息表示震惊，有数万名网友说，乔布斯的离去令他们伤心。
六四天网义工 蒲飞 ：“应该说乔布斯先生主要是创立高尖端的一些IT产品，他这些IT产品应该说是改变了很多IT业的形态，尤其像苹果电脑、iPhone手机，都给行业内的同行提供了相当好的借鉴。”
中国网友在痛惜扼腕之余，也在热烈的讨论一个问题，中国的乔布斯在哪里？中国可以生长出天才“苹果”吗？
蒲飞认为，一个天才的成长不能仅靠天赋，还需要土壤，但在中国，这样的土壤存不存在，还是一个疑问。
蒲飞：“中国现行教育制度是一个扼杀人的想像的教育制度，任何创造性的发明，或者是有意思的东西，都是不得到官方的允许和一些人的支持。应该这样讲，中国要出现乔布斯这样的人，要从教育制度改革开始，一个不允许人进行想像的教育制度是无法培养出任何天才的，只会培养出一些工匠，而不会培养出一些大家。”
大陆浙江自由撰稿人温克坚也认为，乔布斯让这个世界变得更加有趣和美好，但中国不自由的环境难以产生这样的天才。
浙江自由撰稿人温克坚：“众所周知的一个事实，你越在一个自由的环境里面，人们才有想像力才有创造力，人们的创造力才能得到回报，才有机会试错，然后各种新奇的想法才会被容忍被鼓励，但在中国的话，是一个高度管制化的社会，很多重要的行业、重要的产业，都掌握在政府的手里，民间面对着很多的管制，很多的天花板，创意上的天花板，哪怕有天才，天才通向成功的道路也非常狭窄。”
在乔布斯56岁的人生历程中，他上了大学又退学，之后在家中的车库办起公司，而且在乔布斯身上体现出的诸如偏执、独断、情绪化等性格，在中国来看，乔布斯就不像一个好同志、不像一个好老板，其所作所为与和谐社会好像不太和谐。
北京学者彭定鼎指出，中国的体制不允许你做你想做的事情，乔布斯假如生活在中国根本无法成为天才。
彭定鼎：“因为这个制度我想这是一些专制统治者的一些心理疾病吧，专制统治者实际已经生病，他们生怕丧失一切事情控制，他们希望这个世界都能按照他们的意图来运转，因此他们要关注每一个人来做什么，他们希望每一个人都不擅自去行动，要得到他们的批准，要得到他们的理解，但一般而言，他们的智力都不高。事实上，我们也做不到每件事情都报告当局，即使报告了他们也理解不了。”
不过，幸运的是，乔布斯生长在美国这个自由民主社会，让他的创新精神得以改变这个世界。
乔布斯曾说：“领袖与跟风者的区别在于创新。” iPod改变了音乐产业， iPhone改变了通讯产业， iPad改变了PC产业，如今，乔布斯永远离开了，苹果的辉煌会被超越，但乔布斯的创新精神，不会消失、不会过时。

Jobs’ Death: Food For Thought In China
The death of Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple Inc.
is being mourned by the world.
In mainland China, people are grieving Jobs’ death too.
They felt regretful for this talent of innovation
and also thought about why China has no such a talent,
why Apple could not develop on China’s soil?
Regardless of whether one has heard of his achievements,
impacting the world, or of him owning over 300 patents,
the symbol of a bitten apple and the popular Apple goods
like Mac, iPod, iPhone and iPad would make people
keep Steve Jobs in their memories. The news of his death
on Wednesday made many around the world sorrowful.
The same night Apple’s home page displayed Jobs’
black-and-white half-length photo in a central position.
1955-2011 stays under the written in black ‘Steve Jobs’.
Jobs is looking with piercingly bright eyes from the photo.
The apple with a missing piece’ trademark made people sigh
– this time there is really a missing piece.
On the other side of the world, in China, Jobs’ death
has made people mourn and reflect on it as well.
On blogs of Sina, Tencent and Baidu, where netizens
are actively discussing the topic,
plenty of comments appeared to mourn
this “big innovator” in the world of technology.
A netizen showed 56 red apples in memory
of Steve Jobs’ 56 years’ life devoted to achievements.
In the morning of October 6, Li Kaifu, Google’ former CEO,
wrote on his sina weibo (micro blog):
“Farewell Jobs, your products have changed the world
and your ideas have influenced a whole generation.”
Until 8 p.m. that night, Li Kaifu released 9 blog articles
on the Internet, about Steve Jobs.
On October 6, more than 90,000 netizens voted on weibo
that they felt shocked about Jobs’s passing away,
and many thousands of netizen expressed their sorrow
about his death.
Pu Fei, volunteer of the folk website 64tianwang,
expressed that Jobs’s death is a great loss to the industry.
A volunteer of 64tianwang, Pu said: “Mr. Jobs mainly
established high class IT production which helped a lot
in changing the ideology of the IT industry. Especially Mac
and iPhone have provided really good reference
to the other businesses within the IT industry.”
While the Chinese netizens feel sorry about Jobs’s death,
some talk about where is the Chinese Steve Jobs,
and can China cultivate such a talent like Apple?
Pu Fei thinks, for a genius to develop he needs not only
a gift, but a “soil” too, which to support his development.
But in China, whether such kind of a soil exists
or not is still under question.
Pu Fei: “China’s education system now is such that kills
people’s imagination. Any creative innovation
or interesting staff wouldn’t get the permission
of the officials, as well as many people’s support.
Thus China should start from the reform of its education
system if it wants to have talents like Jobs.
System that kills people’s imagination is impossible to grow
talents and can only produce “smiths,” but not geniuses.”
Wen Kejian, freelance writer from Zhengjiang, China, also
thinks Jobs has made the world more interesting and bright,
but that it is very hard for China to “produce” a geniuses
like Jobs with its restrictive environment.
Wen Kejian: “It is a well-known fact that the more freedom
you have in the environment, the more creative imagination
will people have. Their creative imagination then can be
rewarded. People have the chance of a trial and error,
and various novel ideas will be tolerated and encouraged.
But China is a society with a high degree of control.
Many important professions and industries are controlled
by the government. Civil society is facing a lot of control.
There are many ceilings, ceilings on creativeness, even if
there is a genius, his path to success is also very narrow."
In the course of Jobs’ 56-years long life, he went to college
but dropped out. Later, he set up his company in his garage.
In addition, the personalities that Jobs is known with,
like being paranoic,arbitrary and emotional,
are viewed in China as Jobs’ not being a good comrade,
not a good boss.
His deeds seem not to be in harmony
with the harmonious society.
Beijing-based scholar Peng Dingding pointed out that
China’s system does not allow you to do what you want to do;
if Jobs lived in China, he would not be a genius.
Peng Dingding: “As to this system, I see it as a mental
illness of some authoritarian rulers.
The authoritarian rulers are actually ill. They are afraid
of losing the control over everything.
They hope that the world can operate according to their
intentions. So they pay attention to each person’s actions.
They hope each person will not act without authorization.
It needs to get their approval, to get their understanding.
But in general, their intelligence is not high. In fact,
it’s not possible for us to report everything to the authorities.
Even if we do, they can not understand."
Jobs lived in a free and democratic society, which helped
his creative spirit change the world in a unique way.
Jobs once said: “The difference between leaders
and trend followers lies in innovation."
iPod changed the music industry, iPhone changed the
communication industry, iPad changed the PC industry.
Now when Steve Jobs left us forever, Apple’s glory may be
surpassed, but his innovative spirit will not become obsolete.
