Many changes have taken place in Suqian over the years.
In the past, there were only narrow and muddy roads in Suqian. There was rubbish everywhere. But now there are many wide and clean roads, with many green trees and beautiful flowers on both sides. The local government has also built many modern malls and tall buildings in some large open spaces.
Years ago, people lived in small houses. Now most of them have moved into new flats or big houses. In their spare time, they used to watch local operas in the open air for free. Old people enjoyed listening to the radio. But now, most families have computers and the Internet. They can watch operas or movies online. Moreover, mobile phones make communication easier now.
In the past, people travelled around the city on foot or by bike, but now they can travel around by bus or coach. More and more families have their own cars.
In a word, life in Suqian is much better now than before.
