24、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 left my Beijing apartment and walked half a street to the subway station. About twelve stops later, I reached the high-speed railway station. After two minutes of security (安检) , I picked 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 was in the center of 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 few hours, with no cars, no airport, no credit cards (信用卡) and no long lines, just my smartphone, 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.
