早在上個(gè)世紀(jì)70年代,柯布博士就看到了生態(tài)問題的嚴(yán)峻性,撰寫了《是否太晚?》一書。他不僅捐出了祖?zhèn)骱勒С钟袡C(jī)哲學(xué)研究,而且于2015年將自己省吃儉用攢下的50萬美元悉數(shù)捐出,在美國舉辦了舉世矚目的生態(tài)文明千人大會(huì),而自己卻已30多年沒買新衣服了。這位知行合一的國際知名學(xué)者一直是中國生態(tài)文明建設(shè)堅(jiān)定的支持者,是他最早提出“生態(tài)文明的希望在中國”。在中國走向生態(tài)文明建設(shè)新時(shí)代的重要關(guān)頭,在中國生態(tài)環(huán)境保護(hù)大會(huì)召開之際,他又站出來發(fā)聲,2018年5月在接受新華社獨(dú)家專訪時(shí)他明確指出“中國給全球生態(tài)文明建設(shè)帶來希望之光”。
這位老人在中國受到熱烈歡迎。中央社會(huì)主義學(xué)院干部學(xué)員聆聽了他的演講,“從小我走向大我”,他受聘為該院特聘教授。第九屆及第十屆全國人大常委會(huì)副委員長許嘉璐先生抱病會(huì)見了他,親切地稱他為“老哥”……
柯老穿著他最喜愛的那件棗紅緞子、福壽團(tuán)紋的唐裝,精神抖擻地走在風(fēng)景如畫的浙江麗水的大地上。參加了在浙江蓮都舉行的“高質(zhì)量綠色發(fā)展”研討會(huì)和在古堰畫鄉(xiāng)舉行的浙江省2019年全國科普日主場(chǎng)活動(dòng),他還前往松陽縣和麗水蓮都等地考察綠色發(fā)展標(biāo)桿企業(yè)。在麗水市魚躍釀造食品有限公司,這位94歲的老人興致勃勃,親自上陣攪拌醬油……中新社記者以《中外專家學(xué)者走進(jìn)浙江蓮都探討“未來與生態(tài)”》為題對(duì)上述活動(dòng)進(jìn)行了報(bào)道:蓮都踐行“綠水青山就是金山銀山”理念,成效顯著。2018年,全區(qū)實(shí)現(xiàn)地區(qū)生產(chǎn)總值359.11億元,增長6.2%,農(nóng)民收入連續(xù)22年居麗水市首位。柯布博士表示,“面對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展與生態(tài)保護(hù),蓮都走出了一條新路,整個(gè)中國也在走這條新路。要建設(shè)生態(tài)文明,不能僅僅取決于生態(tài)發(fā)展,還要提供人民的幸福感?!?/p>

In the cool golden autumn filled with fragrance of osmanthus blossoms, the 94-year-old Dr. John Boswell Cobb Jr, member of American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Founding President of the Institute for the Postmodern Development of China, preeminent process philosopher, author of the world's first monograph on ecosophy, and one of the earliest thinkers in the western world to propose the idea of “green GDP”, visited Chonqing.
Dr. Cobb saw the severity of ecological problems and wrote the book Is It Too Late? A Theology of Ecology as early as in the 1970s. In order to save the earth and mankind from being doomed, he donated not only his ancestral mansion to support the research on organic philosophy, but also all his savings of 500,000 USD in 2015 to hold the conference “Seizing an Alternative: Toward an Ecological Civilization” with over 1000 participants in the U.S., whereas hadn’t bought any new clothes for himself for over 30 decades. This internationally renowned scholar, who combines knowledge with practice, has always been a staunch supporter of China's efforts to develop a more ecological civilization, and was the first to put forward the idea that "The hope for reaching ecological civilization lies in China". At the important point when China is moving towards the new era of developing ecological civilization, and when China was holding the National Ecology and Environment Protection Conference, he stood up and spoke out again, in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency in May 2018, he pointed out that "China brings hope to the development of ecological civilization in the world as a whole".
He was warmly welcomed in China. He gave a speech titled "From the Self to the Great Mission" at the Central Institute of Socialism, where he was also hired as a distinguished professor. Mr. Xu Jialu, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Ninth and Tenth National People's Congress, received him during illness and cordially called him "Brother" ...

Dr. Cobb walked briskly on the picturesque landscape of Lishui, Zhejiang Province, wearing his favorite Tang suit made of jujube red satin with Fushoutuan (a symbol of blessings and longevity) pattern. He attended the seminar on "High-quality Green Development" held in Liandu, Zhejiang, and the Zhejiang 2019 National Science Day held in Guyanhua township. He also visited signature enterprises for green development in Songyang County and Lishui Liandu. At Lishui Yuyue Brewing Food, the 94-yearold man went to stir the soy sauce himself. The reporter of China News Agency reported on the above activities under the title "Chinese and Foreign Experts and Scholars Gathered in Liandu Zhejiang to Discuss the Future and Ecology": Liandu has practiced the conviction that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets and have achieved remarkable results. In 2018, Liandu's GDP reached 35.911 billion yuan, an increase of 6.2% over the previous year. Liandu farmer’s income ranked first in Lishui for 22 consecutive years. Dr. Cobb said: "Facing the tasks of both developing economy and protecting ecology, Liandu has forged a new road, the one the whole nation is taking. To build an ecological civilization, we must not only depend on ecological development, but also provide people with happiness. "

帶著浙江人民濃濃的愛意,9月24日柯老來到了彩云之南。25日,在云南省普洱市級(jí)相關(guān)單位負(fù)責(zé)人和普洱學(xué)院部分師生代表400余人參加的“普洱生態(tài)文明與綠色發(fā)展研討會(huì)”上,中共普洱市委領(lǐng)導(dǎo)在致辭中代表市委、市政府,對(duì)研討會(huì)的舉行表示熱烈祝賀,對(duì)柯布博士團(tuán)隊(duì)的到來表示誠摯歡迎??虏疾┦吭陬}為《生態(tài)文明呼喚鄉(xiāng)村振興》的演講中對(duì)普洱推動(dòng)綠色發(fā)展、建設(shè)生態(tài)文明所取得的成效表示贊賞。希望普洱以鄉(xiāng)村振興的推進(jìn)為契機(jī),進(jìn)一步凝聚共識(shí)和力量,為生態(tài)文明建設(shè)作出更大貢獻(xiàn)。
這天,柯布院士工作站在普洱學(xué)院揭牌。為了紀(jì)念這一大喜的日子,普洱學(xué)院校領(lǐng)導(dǎo)陪同柯老一行種植了“無憂樹”。鮐背之年的柯老又鏟土又澆水,干得盡心盡力。
柯布博士在云南普洱種樹,考察普洱有機(jī)茶園。

隨后,柯老參觀了國際咖啡交易中心、普洱祖祥高山有機(jī)茶園、玉林白芨種植基地、帝泊洱茶葉公司、那柯里特色小鎮(zhèn)等,每到一處他都興致勃勃。最令他感興趣的是普洱學(xué)院美術(shù)專業(yè)的師生教當(dāng)?shù)剞r(nóng)民畫畫,創(chuàng)作獨(dú)特的絕版木刻,以及農(nóng)民走路到白芨中草藥基地上班。當(dāng)問他此次云南之行印象最深的是什么時(shí),他的回答是:云南26個(gè)民族守望相助、共生共榮的美好景象令人難忘。在柯老的辭典里,生態(tài)文明不僅包括人與自然的和諧,而且包括人與人的和諧。
天藍(lán)、山綠、水清、人美,云南人民化不開的濃情厚意令柯老感動(dòng)異常,送了一程又一程,拉祜族著名的離別歌《實(shí)在舍不得》響徹耳畔:
我會(huì)唱的調(diào)子像沙粒一樣多就是沒有離別的歌
我想說的話像茶葉滿山坡就是不把離別說
最怕么就是要分開
要多難過有多難過
舍不得喲舍不得 我實(shí)在舍不得
你沒看那風(fēng)景像山花一樣多還有多少思念的河最想么就是你再來要多快樂有多快樂舍不得喲舍不得我實(shí)在舍不得
With the deep love of Zhejiang people, Dr. Cobb later came to Yunnan on September 24. On the 25th, at Pu’er Ecological Civilization and Green Development Forum in which over 400 people from relevant Pu’er municipal departments and Puer University attended, leader of the CPC Pu’er Municipal Committee, expressed the warm congratulations on the holding of the Forum and sincere welcome to Dr. Cobb's team on behalf of the CPC Pu’er Municipal Committee and Pu’er Municipal Government. In his speech titled "Ecological Civilization Calls for Rural Revitalization", Dr. Cobb expressed his appreciation for the achievements Pu’er has made in promoting green development and developing ecological civilization. He hoped that Pu'er would take the exhibition of rural revitalization as an opportunity to further consolidate consensus and strength and thus to make greater contributions to the development of ecological civilization.
Dr. Cobb's work station was unveiled at Puer University on the same day. In order to commemorate this big day, leaders of Puer University accompanied Dr. Cobb to plant the ashoka tree. At the age of 94, Dr. Cobb shoved dirt and watered the tree with ease.
Later, Dr. Cobb, with high spirits, visited the International Coffee Exchange Center, Pu’er Zuxiang Mountain Organic Tea Garden, Yulin Common Bletilla Planting Base, Deepure Tea, and Nakeli town. What interested him most was when the art teachers and students from Puer University taught local farmers to draw pictures and make woodcuts, and when the farmers walked to the Common Bletilla Planting Base to work. When asked about what impressed him most in his trip to Yunnan? His answer was: The beautiful sight of 26 ethnic groups in Yunnan helping each other and sharing weal and woe is unforgettable. In Dr. Cobb's dictionary, ecological civilization includes not only the harmony between man and nature, but also the harmony among men.
The sky is blue, the mountains are lush, the water is lucid, the people are beautiful, and the kindness of Yunnan people touched Dr. Cobb deeply. He was seen off once and once again with the famous Lahu folk song Be Not Willing to Separate resounding:
I can sing as many tunes as the number of sand but not a single song about parting
What I want to say is as much as the tea leaves that fill the hillside but I just don't want to say goodbye
What scares me most is to separate
What I feel is the deepest sadness
I just can't bear to part with you I really can't bear to part with you
What you didn’t see are the views as many as the number of flowers in the mountain
And also the river of missing
What I want most is for you to come again and I’ll be the happiest I can imagine
Be not willing to separate
I’m really not willing to separate
