High-speed trains, Alipay(支付宝),shared bikes and online payment are seen as the new Four Great Achievements of China by young foreigners, according to a video survey by the silk Road Research Institute of Beijing Foreign Studies University . In the video, young people from 20countries along Belt and Road Routes(一带一路)were asked to name great inventions that had influenced their lives in China. The following is what they said:

Justin

I’m from Romania. China is really a great country and its high-speed railways are very fast, convenient and tidy. It takes me only about 6 hours from Beijing to shanghai by train. It saves a lot of time and it’s cheaper than airplane. I wish we would have high-speed railways in our country someday.

Yala

I’m from Nepal. I always go out by bike.Bicycle-sharing system allows people to borrow a bike from point “A” and return it at point “B”. It’s not only cheap but also a low -carbon and healthy way of life. I like it very much .

Archana

My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. Here in China , I seldom take money with me when I go out. I can pay for almost every-thing by Zhi Fu Bao. Oh, it’s amazing. However. In India , if you don’t take wallet with you, you’ll be in a tough spot.

Bond

You can find many wonderful things that we don’t have in Thailand. We don’t have Alipay or other online payment Apps with which I can go shopping without stepping out of the doors.I hope I could bring them back to my country!

It took Mr. Zhou and his team three years to create Pinyin in the 1950s. It changed the way we learned Chinese. Before Pinyin was created, 85% of Chinese people could not read, but now almost all can. “Pinyin is a bridge between China and the other countries,” said Zhou.

When Zhou was young, he studied in Japan. Later, he worked in a bank in New York. At that time, he made friends with Albert Einstein. He returned to China in 1949 and taught economics(经济学) at a university in Shanghai. A few years later, he helped create Chinese Pinyin.
