My interest in cooking started when I was 11, partly thanks to my mother. She didn’t really like cooking and when she did cook, I didn’t like her food. Once I was watching something about cooking on TV and I thought I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.

During a year, I had produced most of its recipes (食谱)and was ready for a bigger challenge. I wanted to create my own dishes and I started cooking for more people than just my family. To my joy, my parents allowed me to build a test kitchen. I did much cooking to test my dishes in it and my skill improved quickly. Later, my mom and I set up a dinner club that organized monthly events inside my home. Now as a teen chef(主厨), I have also cooked in top-class restaurants around the country. I am not doing it for the money, but because I love cooking.

Now I know that when you stop caring whether you'll be famous or do well. Your dream will come to you.

The well-known “new great inventions” of modern China have made our daily lives more convenient.

High-speed trains

China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken on the trains. By 2020, one-fifth of the country’s 150000-km railway network will be used by the trains. This network will link more than 80 percent of major cities across China.

Mobile payment

Mobile payment is turning China into a “cashless society”. Instead of paying by cash(现金) customers now pay for their goods and some kinds of bills simply by typing a short password into the Alipay(支付宝) or Wechat Pay app on their mobile phone.

Shared bikes

China has surprised the world with how quickly shared bikes are widely used. Nowadays, bike users can simply pick up or park the bike on the street through GPS and smart phone apps. China's two leading bike-sharing companies, Mobike and Ofo, have been opening their overseas markets in Singapore, the UK and the United States.

Online shopping

With around 751 million Internet users, China has been the world's largest and fastest growing online shopping market. Because of lower costs and fewer licensing requirements(执照要求), it’s easier for sellers to open an online shop in China. In 2016, more than 20 million jobs of rural areas were created, with over 8.1 million running their own online shops.
