Here are different opinions from different people on China’s changes.

China, like India, was a developing country and day-to-day life always told us that things were in short supply in 1977.China has lifted 740 million people out of poverty (贫困) in the last four decades (十年).

So it is a great luxury for children to have their own time to relax and do sports. —Xiao Li from a university

Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated and did things without mobile phones? Take the post for example. Before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mum was in primary school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. A pen pal is a name for a person you keep in touch with mainly through postal mail. My mum would
