In China, there is an old saying (and I paraphrase)," Unless the old goes, the new won't come". Undoubtedly, the author would completely agree with this, as for me, maybe I am also one of its devoted fans.
Firstly, it is absolutely beneficial for a nation to change its chief government leader. Across the history of Eastern and Western civilization, we may find an important and interesting phenomenon -- without the existence of related laws focused on the job length of the administration, then those in power may have no fear of losing their powerful jobs, consequently, they tend to abuse their power. Take the ancient China for example, the feudal society lasted for more than two thousand years, there were innumerable brutal emperors in the history. Yin Zhou--the last king of the Shang dynasty was famous for his cruel government. Without any time limit of the power, he was born as the king of Shang --one of the most flourish countries in that period. He killed a large number of his officials and common people, lived with beauties which came from all over the country, enjoyed the unbelievable leisure life, and left his people in the hot and water. Undoubtedly, his above-mentioned "deeds" led to the perdition of his country, and then he was recorded in the history -- as a brutal emperor who enjoyed the unlimited sage power.
Secondly, the changes of some institutions can lead to new development. On the one hand, the new administrator can discard those old and out-of-date minds and policies. On the other hand, he/she also will bring something new into this field. As a matter of fact, the above two consequences often come along with each other like twins. The development of many Chinese universities in the past decades is a perfect case in point. Let us focus on the most famous and eminent Chinese university --Beijing University. At the beginning, it was founded and ruled by the Qing dynasty, at that time, it was opened only to those children who born in the privileged class or the rich. After a series of war, the new China founded in 1949, then the Beijing University was generally managed by Cai Yuanpei, an bright intellectual who once went to Britain and some other European countries for further study. During his administration, Beijing University went through enormous reforms, and began to open its door to all the elites come from all the country and various social classes. To some extend, those new regulations concerned with teaching methods and acceptance ruled by Cai--the new headmaster, led to the present prosperity of Beijing University.
However, the claim that any profession should step down after five years the author asserts seems somewhat unadvisable to me. In different fields, it is hard for one to give a unique standard to set the time in power according to the special and distinct characters. For example, five years may be long enough to judge the ability of a CEO in an international company, while it may be completely unwise to decide whether the polices which the present president legislated concern with the development in the coming ten years.
In sum, I agree with the author's claim basically, meanwhile, I do insist that the length in power should be judged by the specific circumstance instead of the general five years. After all, every flower has its smell, every Jack has his Jill, and then every job has its length.
