In the waiting room of Beijīng Railroad Station, an American engineer,
Mr. Sirnma (a), is standing in front of the railroad map of China,
trying to locate a city. Zhū Wényà (B) of the China Travel Service
enters the room with a train schedule in her hand.

Mr. Simms, the schedule you asked for.

Thank you, thank you. It has Chinese characters and Pinyin, that’s
great. You people are much faster on the Job than you used to be.

The Travel Service has to modernize its work too, after all! Oh yes—
Just now when I came in, you seemed to be looking for something. Perhaps
I could help you?

Look. Isn't Dàqìng in Hěilōngjiāng? How come I've been looking for it
for so long and haven't found it?

Oh',- of course you won't find it if you look near the border. Dàqìng is
in the center of Hěilōngjiāng. Here it is!

Oh, here it is. In the sixties and seventies this was a rather special
economic region.

That's right. It went through about twenty years of construction to
develop into an industrial city of 700,000. Then in the early eighties
they established the People's Government of the City of Dàqìng.

Under the leadership of the city government, Dàqìng is probably being
built even faster. Has there also been growth in other industries
recently?

The coal industry and the machine industry would have to be counted
among the more rapidly developing.

Coal production has a very important place in China's heavy industry.
Manchuria has always had a very high

coal output.

Yes, Manchuria has very large coal reserves. It’s an important-mining
region. You've always been concerned about our economic construction,
Mr.

A ■< Turns ’

Yes. I'm an engineer, and I've always paid attention to the changes in
China's economic construction. I hope China will be built into an
industrialized country very soon.

Thank you. A lot of foreign friends are concerned about our construction
now, and we're very grateful for it. China is still a poor country. We
need help from experts of every country in the world.

You're too polite. You’re still developing quite rapidly in all areas.
And furthermore, you have quite a few key development regions. I believe
there are at least ten industrial regions on which you are focusing
development.

Yes, there are ten.

Besides Běijīng, Tiānjīn, Shànghāi, and Dàqìng, Inner Mongolia, Shānxī
and Sichuan will all experience great changes in the next ten years,
don't you think?

Don't forget that our coastal regions have made rapid progress in the
last ten years, especially Guāngdōng.

Guāngdōng's light industry has always been pretty good.

Recently, their petroleum industry has been doing rather well, haven't
you heard?

Oh, of course. How could I forget China's gulf oil? And what is the
distinguishing feature of Yúnnǎn?

The metal industry.

Look, China’s situation is pretty The metal industry of the south is
developing even more quickly.

That’s true. Although our technical capability is still weak, we must
work hard to speed our development.

That's no problem. In a few decades I’m sure China will become an
economic power.

Thank you, but perhaps it will take more time than that.

Not necessarily, maybe it won’t be too long. Oil, for example. In 1950
you were twenty-ninth in the world in oil production, and now—now you’re
in eighth place!-

Th’e oil industry is a little special. Generally speaking, we.still have
a lot of problems. We still have to learn in a lot of areas.

Don't be polite. No matter what the technical problem, if it’s something
I can help with, please let me know.

Thank you so much. Remember you said last time that you would like to
visit more industrial regions?

Right. Does it look possible?

Yes, ny superiors are arranging it right now. Don’t worry!

Thank you so much.
