I'm Mike Smith， a doctor from London， I really feel that life in China is changing so quickly， Recently I had a business trip to Tianjin， I lift my Beijing apartment and walked half a street to the subway station． About twelve stops later， I reached the high speed rail station． After two minutes of security（安检）， I pick up my ticket， which I had bought on my phone while on the subway． Then I walked to the terminal（终点） and got on the train． Twenty﹣eight minutes later I was in the center of a beautiful city﹣Tianjin． I could enjoy a nice walk along the riverside towards my hotel． It is amazing that the whole experience took more than a few hours， with no cars ， no airport， no credit cards（信用卡） and no long lines， just my smart phone， only a few US dollars and comfortable walking shoes， In most places in the developed world， there is no experience like this． But China is different．
So in my opinion， if we think highly of China's modern wonders， I believe its high speed rail system must be one of them． And it's one symbol of a new China's strength as well．

My name is Tom， When I was young， I was always sad， almost everything ending in failure． I completely lost my heart， sighing（叹息） unhappily all day． Having seen me like that， my father decided to cheer me up．
