On today’s show, we’ll focus on how e – business can help change people’s lives, as well as the career outlook of college graduates.
After that, we’ll attend an interesting introductory session that was held earlier here in Beijing. It's an effort by a group of young Chinese who want to introduce Majiang, a traditional Chinese game, to foreigners.
For all these stories and more, stay tuned to Life in China.
Approach Chinese Majiang
Majiang is one of China's most famous games and is popular throughout the world. Dominic Swire takes us to an introductory session organized by the Leadership Club, a Beijing-based group of young Chinese dedicated to introducing their culture to foreigners.
More Chinese Starting up E-Business
With about 30 percent of the Chinese population now online, more and more ordinary Chinese people have realized the potential for e-businesses. With no technological background or experience in running a business, they are eager to venture into the world of online businesses.
Online Marketplace Helps Business Students Better Prepare for Future Job
What worries college graduates the most? To find the perfect job! Many college students started to prepare early to excel in the fierce job market. Some students in Henan province have the opportunity to practice real business through a new online business practice base the school has provided.

Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
