For Western designers，China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western

creative.

“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers，” says

Amanda Hill，chief creative officer at A＋E Networks，a global media company and home to

some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.

Earlier this year ，theChinaThroughALookingGlassexhibition in New York exhibited 140

pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art ，with the aim of

exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled

the fashionable imagination for centuries.The exhibition had record attendance，showing that there

is huge interest in Chinese influences.

“China is impossible to overlook，” says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and

fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world ，which means Chinese women are

not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.”Of course ，not only are today’s

top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary

fashion are themselves Chinese.“Vera Wang ，Alexander Wang ，Jason Wu aretaking

onGalliano，Albaz，Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales ，” adds

Hill.

For Hill ，it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing

fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese ，so are the models ，and so are the

consumers，” she says.“China is no longer just another market ；in many senses it has become

the market.If you talk about fashion today ，you are talking about China—its influences ，its

direction ，its breathtaking clothes ，and how young designers and models are finally

acknowledging that in many ways.”

Would you BET on the future of this man？He is 53 years old.Most of his adult life has been a

losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop

functioning ，and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven-knows-what motives ，he

determines to write a book.

The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.That

former prisoner was Cervantes，and the book wasDonQuixote(《堂吉诃德》)．And the story

poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of

their days，while others go to seed long before?

We’ve all known people whorun out of steambefore they reach life’s halfway mark.I’m not

talking about those who fail to get to the top.We can’t all get there.I’m talking about people who

have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that
