So far, a few big changes in people’s life in China have drawn the world’s attention. Among them, four ideas stand out. They are known as “China’s four great modern inventions”.
High-speed trains
China’s new high-speed train Fuxing made its first run from Beijing to Shanghai on 21st September, 2017. It ran at a speed of 350 km/h, which makes it the fastest train in the world. Actually the high-speed train has become a new name card for China overseas.
Bike sharing
Besides the high-speed train, many other innovations (创新) have also changed people’s lives in China. Bike sharing, is not a new idea but China has given it a whole new meaning. In China, there are about 10 million shared bikes. People don’t need to find stations to put the bikes. This makes bike sharing much easier.
Cashless payment (无现金支付)
Suppose you are riding a bike on the street and stop to buy a bottle of water without any money on you.
Don’t worry. In China, now you are able to just shop by paying with your cellphone. All you need to do is just to scan a store’s quick response code (QR code, 二维码). Even a pancake seller on the roadside has a QR code for WeChat Pay or Alipay.
Online shopping
As for shopping, China has many big online shopping platforms, such as Taobao
