西安秦始皇兵马俑被人称作“世界第八奇迹”。不过,参观兵马俑的人大概很少留意过位于秦始皇陵东侧那座楼房林立的工厂——陕西缝纫机厂,同时也是中国标准缝纫机公司总部所在地。五年前,这是个如同尚未被发掘的兵马俑一样默默无闻的地方,眼下却成了透视中国现代缝纫机工业发展水平的重要“窗口”,它在我国缝纫机行业中的“知名度”,并不逊于秦始皇兵马俑之于世界。 Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi’an is known as the “eighth wonder of the world.” However, those who visited the Terracotta Warriors and Horses probably did not pay much attention to the factory located in the east side of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, the Shaanxi Sewing Machine Factory. It was also the headquarters of the China Standard Sewing Machine Company. Five years ago, this place was as unknown as the unexplored Terra Cotta Warriors. Now it has become an important “window” to see the development level of China’s modern sewing machine industry. Its “famousness” in the sewing machine industry in China is no worse than that of the Terracotta Army. It is in the world.
