57、e true meaning of Kuan Yew. In Chinese language, kuan means light, and yew means glory. So, Lee Kuan Yew means Lee the light and glory.Singapores glory since its rebirth in 1965 has been a miracle, largely because of the light of Lee. By 1978, the transformation of Singapore into a modern city-state
58、 had become an inspiration for Deng Xiaoping, who having just emerged as the paramount leader of China was looking for a way to lead the country out of isolation and poverty. Drawing inspiration from Lee and the success story of Singapore, Deng visited the city-state in 1978 and met with Lee for the
59、 first time. Lee said that if Singaporeans can do it, China can also do it.Soon after returning from Singapore, Deng launched a series of reforms in China. Over the subsequent decades, China has continued the reform and opening-up and it is now the second-largest economy in the world. Perhaps it cou
60、ld be said that part of the plan for Chinas great reform and transformation took shape in Singapore in 1978 during Dengs meetings with Lee. Ever since that fateful visit, China has learned from Singapore the finer points of governance, management and economic growth. No wonder, over the years China
61、has sent many Party, government and corporate officials to receive training in Singapore.In 1994, the Singapore Industrial Park in Suzhou, Jiangsu province (now renamed the Suzhou Industrial Park) was set up. Over the years, the industrial park has become a testing ground for many new reform program
62、s in China, including those for social security, venture capital and private equity.More recently, President Xi Jinping emphasized that China can still learn many things from Singapore.Today, many people talk about the 21st century being the Asian century or the Asia-Pacific century, while others ha
63、ve started talking of the Asian dream. But Lee was one of the first Asians who truly stood out and demonstrated to the world that Asians can make a difference in terms of global growth and development. Lees legacy is based on a solid and healthy dosage of pragmatism, realism, innovation, and commitm
64、ent to making a better tomorrow.After 50 years of constant innovation and ceaseless efforts, Singapore is the most developed country among the 10 ASEAN member states, one of the most developed countries in Asia and one of the most successful economies in the world.

89、pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives. “A salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. Why cant a human do the same?” asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a
90、recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts. These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things - living
91、 cells, tissue, and even organs. Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant advances took place in 1999，when a research group at North Carolinas Wake Forest Insti
92、tute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs 一 from kidneys to ears. The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the
93、early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 p
94、eople are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patients body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patients own cells and will not be rejected by the bodys immune system. Today, several labs are working to
95、 create bioartificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung.
