老外为何疯抢河北造“预制房”？_我的网站

Zhou Jiang, a researcher at the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, has a favorite book: White Deer Tableland or Bai Lu Yuan by renowned writer Chen Zhongshi.
As vice president of the Regional Science Association of China (RSAC), Zhou told the Global Times that a lifetime of reading has profoundly shaped the way he sees and understands the world. It ultimately led him to a career in research and academia, where he teaches and pursues scholarly work.
Since earning his PhD in economics in 2000, he has devoted himself to the study of regional science and economics, a field that demands a constant crossing of disciplinary boundaries, drawing on the fields of geography, sociology, history, and ecology among others.
"Reading has kept alive my sense of curiosity and taught me to ask questions with patience and persistence: Where do disparities in regional development come from? How do policies affect different groups in society? And how can a region pursue both efficiency and equity so that development is not merely effective, but also imbued with a greater sense of humanity and warmth?" Zhou noted.
Founded in 1991, RSAC is a national academic society dedicated to advancing domestic and international academic exchange and cooperation, providing consulting services on spatial planning, urbanization, and regional development, and offering intellectual support for China's modernization drive.
The 57-year-old researcher noted that reading has empowered him in two distinct ways.
"The first is discernment. When confronted with a complex issue, I try not to settle for a simple conclusion. Instead, I make an effort to understand its broader context, how it has unfolded, and the perspectives of the different people involved," he said.
"The second is a sense of inner steadiness. Setbacks are an inevitable part of both life and work. Good books remind us that hardship is never ours alone to bear; countless people before us have faced circumstances more difficult than our own, made difficult choices, and found the strength to carry on. Reading cannot solve every problem for us, but it can help us remain calm when challenges arise, giving us the clarity and resilience that allow us not to panic or give up too easily," he said.
Historical depth
Each time Zhou returns to the White Deer Tableland, he finds something different in its pages.
"When I first read it as a young person, I was drawn primarily to the characters and the twists and turns of their lives. Later, as I began researching regional economics, I found myself paying closer attention to the changes in the land, the countryside, families and social order presented in the story. Now, approaching 60, I have come to appreciate more deeply the choices the characters make, the constraints they face, and the quiet perseverance they show amid the sweeping currents of their times," he said.
White Deer Tableland uses Bai Lu village in Northwest China's Shaanxi Province as a microcosm, tracing the feuds and intertwined fortunes of three generations of the Bai (literally meaning white) and Lu families. Through their stories, it captures more than half a century of sweeping historical change, from the final years of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) to the 1970s and 1980s. The novel won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, one of China's top literature awards, in 1997.
Zhou prefers literary works with historical depth and a keen eye for social change.
Regional economics may appear to be concerned with the spatial distribution of industries, population and resources, but at its heart, it is about how people live on a particular piece of land, and why some places flourish while others decline, he noted.
In this sense, literature and history are more than pastimes beyond professional research. They often help him understand the historical context, cultural traditions and social mentality that lie behind economic data, he said.
When reading novels, Zhou said that he often pays close attention to the relationship between people and the places they inhabit: How the land shapes the local character, how transportation transforms a region, and how shifts in industry reshape families and villages. Such details may not offer a direct conclusion, but they broaden a researcher's perspective. They also serve as a reminder that research should look beyond growth rates and statistical indicators to consider the sense of fulfillment experienced by ordinary people and the dignity of human beings.
Understanding ourselves
Once, while tidying his study, he came across a book filled with notes he had scribbled in his early years. Among them was a question that particularly caught his attention: "In the face of sweeping changes in the times and profound social transformation, what can a person truly determine for himself?"
Looking at those words he had written in his youth was like coming face to face with the person he had been decades ago.
Reading is not simply the act of understanding a book; it is also a record of a person's own growth, he said. The same book can reveal something entirely different when read at different stages of life.
When we are young, we turn to books in search of answers; but when we become seasoned, we read more to understand life, to understand others, and ultimately, to better understand ourselves, Zhou said.
In this era of fragmented information, AI can help people access information quickly, organize materials, and gain a basic understanding of unfamiliar fields. Yet deep reading, Zhou said, allows people to see how a conclusion is reached — what evidence supports it, where its boundaries lie, and what alternative interpretations it may invite.
What truly shapes a person, after all, is not how much information they have browsed, but the words that have made them pause and reflect - and the words that have remained with them for many years, he added.

B | 你相信吗？外国人都开始抢中国房子了。老外网购中国手机、家电并不稀奇，但最近，他们疯抢的中国货竟是“中国预制房”。最近，一对美国夫妇的YouTube开箱视频爆火：他们海淘一套70平方米的中国折叠精装房，房款仅15800美元，折合不到12万元人民币，加上海运费、安装费，整套房落地总价不到2.9万美元。视频中，房子到货后实现一天装完、当天入住。这条视频播放量超过300万，各国网友在评论区纷纷求链接。如今，在YouTube搜索“Alibaba House”，已经形成一整个内容品类，满屏都是外国客商开箱、组装、测评“中国预制房”的视频，网友评论也十分有意思：“感谢中国为我们提供负担得起的住房”“住房可以贴近更多人的想法”……这些房子来自哪里？答案让人意外：多数来自中国省衡水市的小县城。美国夫妇的这套70平方米折叠房出自武邑县合十集成房屋有限公司，老板付成是93年小伙，创业三年卖出3000多套集成房屋，2025年销售额接近2100万美元。像付成一样的卖家，在衡水阜城、武邑一带还有很多，他们几乎都已入驻跨境平台，正把房子当标准工业品卖向全球。房子是大件，老外凭什么敢下单？付成的办法也很硬核：老外质疑承重，他拉全厂70多个工人站上屋顶蹦跳，实拍视频发过去；客商担心漏水，他就开高压水枪冲屋顶半小时，全程直播验房。他们的产品对标欧美标准，加上独创折叠结构，单套海运成本降了近四成。
C | 靠这份专业，付成还拿下2034年沙特世界杯约800万美元订单，供应2500套住房加1000套厕所，客户是沙特第一大建设公司。
D | 这次，中国人拿下订单靠的不是低价，是专业度。销售这样的房子，在甚至中国并非新鲜事。衡水阜城、武邑一带发展县域特色产业，已形成北方核心集成房屋产业基地，实现钢材加工、墙板生产全产业链整合。2022年，在全国率先启动装配式农房试点，农村100平方米房精装入住只需要不到20万元。如今老外网购的“中国预制房”，其实是迭代升级后的智能集成房屋：保温墙体、水电管线、厨卫精装到结构安全传感器，90%工序在车间流水线完成，精度达到毫米级，能满足抗飓风、防渗漏的欧美标准。为什么美国人要从中国买“预制房屋”？据了解，美国建筑行业每月劳动力缺口高达25万，自建房成本5年内涨了三四成，一套房从开工到入住要等一两年。而“中国预制房”30天生产、50天海运、1天安装完工，中国速度加上中国质量，精准对接海外住房缺口。外交部发言人毛宁也在社交平台点赞：“欢迎入住中国制造的家”。
E | 当初拍开箱视频的美国夫妇，现在也从买家逆袭成了中国预制房经销商。
F | 这事最值得琢磨的，远不止卖了多少套房。十几年前中国发展装配式建筑还要出国取经，如今中国模块化建筑已落地英国养老公寓、巴布亚新几内亚保障房；从前中国出口低端小商品赚薄利，现在中国出口整套居住方案、整套建造体系，靠全产业链代差优势打开全球市场。数据显示，2026年前5个月，中国移动房屋类产品出口23.24亿美元，同比暴涨47.9%。仅阜城一县，今年前4个月预制建筑出口就同比增长148.6%。从出口工地板房到出口整套“家”，从对接工程商到服务全球普通消费者，“中国预制房”海外疯抢的背后，是中国制造出海的又一次升级，也是中国县域特色产业对接全球需求的全新增长赛道。
