High-speed trains, Alipay (支付宝), shared bikes and online payment are seen as the new Four Great Achievements of China by young foreigners, according to a video survey by the Silk Road Research Institute of Beijing Foreign Studies University. In the video, young people from 20 countries along Belt and Road Routes were asked to name great inventions that had influenced their lives in China. The following is what they said from 4 young people of them.
"I'm Yala. I'm Nepal. I always go out by bike. Bicycle-sharing system allows people to borrow a bike from point "A" and return it at point "B". It's not only cheap but also a low-carbon and healthy way of life. I like it very much."
"I'm Justin. I'm from Romania. China is really a great country and it's high-speed railways are very fast, convenient and tidy. It takes me only about 6 hours from Beijing to Shanghai by train. It serves a lot of time and it's cheaper than airplane. I wish we would have high-speed railways in our country someday."
"I'm Archana. My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. Here in China, I seldom take money with me when I go out. I can pay for almost everything by Zhi Fu Bao. Oh, it's amazing. However, in India, if you don't take a wallet with you, you'll be in a tough spot."
"I am Bond. You can find many wonderful things that we don't have in Thailand. We don't have Alipay or other online payment Apps with which I can go shopping without stepping out of the doors. If only I could bring them back to my country."

A few days ago, I was walking down the street when I met a group of students in uniforms. I was shocked to see that the girls' skirts were very short and they were wearing a lot of make-up. The boys looked very untidy. Their shirts were dirty and some of them even had their shirt fronts open. I noticed that some of the students had their ears and noses pierced, which should not be allowed at school. And the other day, I was on the subway when I saw some boys wearing uniforms of the same local school. Instead of sitting quietly, these boys kept making noises and saying dirty words. All the other passengers were looking at them and wondering how it was possible for students like these boys. They were really showing a bad image （形象）of their school, which was shameful. I am a mother of two teenagers of the same school. After seeing those boys and girls, I am worried if my children also behave like this. I don't know about it. Do students in this school know what is allowed when they are wearing the school uniforms? I think the school should be stricter with the students. And I think all the students should be taught how to be polite. |
