BEIJING, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- September 25, 2010, at the Beijing China World Hotel, "China Entrepreneur" magazine, a subsidiary of the Economic Daily Group, will celebrate its 25th anniversary. This internationalized large scale periodical, the first to be named for, and over the past twenty five years, to have grown up with China's entrepreneurs, will be joined by over 400 business leaders, government officials, famous academics and media elite at the 25th anniversary birthday celebration titled "Creating Dignity & Honor through Business".

Since its founding in 1985, "China Entrepreneur" has adhered to the core idea of "The strength of the Nation lies in enterprises, while the strength of an enterprise lies in its entrepreneurs". It has continually advocated entrepreneurial spirit, and has been committed to ensuring the entrepreneurial class takes its place as a respected member of the Chinese mainstream. The market economy has led to national prosperity, and the soul of the market economy is entrepreneurship. 32 turbulent years of reform and opening up, 25 years of change for Chinese entrepreneurs, the growth of entrepreneurs and of the nation; for 25 years, 370 issues of a magazine, "China Entrepreneur" has provided a detailed and valuable history, and is worthy to be called a map to China's growth, a guide to the business industry's evolution, and a history of entrepreneurial spirit.

"A generation is fashion: but there is more to history than costume and jargon. The people of an era must either carry the burden of change assigned to their time or die under its weight in the wilderness." From 1985 to 2010, "China Entrepreneur" has witnessed and recorded several generations of Chinese entrepreneurs going from scratch to success, from the edge to the mainstream, and from merely running a company to taking on corporate social responsibility. In particular after 1996, "China Entrepreneur" has promoted bridging the gap between the mindsets of both business and the government, as well as between entrepreneurs and politicians. It has continually pushed the integration of local Chinese and global businesses, and has worked to advance society's understanding of entrepreneurs. It is recognized as one of the most influential high-end business magazines, a leader in China's mainstream financial media, and China's most representative globalized publication.

During the ceremony ushering in the 25th anniversary of the founding of "China Entrepreneur", the invited 400 business leaders, economists, media elite and senior government officials will gather at the China World Hotel on September 25, 2010. There they will together perform a "Stage Edition" of "China Entrepreneur", recalling the past quarter century, collectively reflecting on the strength of companies, the Government's role, market changes and the manipulation of history by the "invisible hand", and discussing together the direction of China and the futures of the children of the 80's and 90's. The elite of the past generation will take us on a journey through time, sharing with us both their success and failure, creating a bridge between the past and the present.

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." (The Great Gatsby) The reform and opening up that began in 1978, the characteristic greatness and upheaval of an era, and the great strength brought about by the combination of the changes made by major political decision makers and the creative development of entrepreneurs; all these forces jointly advanced the transition of China's business community.

From 1985 to 2010, with the long passage of time "China Entrepreneur" has stood behind all those entrepreneurs working for their "Chinese Dream", acting as a bridge between the past, the present and the future. These 25 years of working shoulder to shoulder with readers, working together for a common goal is something that "China Entrepreneur" is looking forward to doing for another 25 years. We all have the same dream - To create dignity and honor through business!
